After chatting for a while in the performance department, everyone was very enthusiastic, and Lin Nanguang received a lot of contact information.

pinched the time and left here, there was a sign at the exchange meeting, which was very conspicuous, Lin Nan went alone, and Hu Ge stayed in the performance department.

"Shall we go over there and have a look, didn't the old class say that there will be a lot of film and television companies, producers, and directors coming?"

I don't know who mentioned it, everyone looked at that direction very tacitly, the meaning of the school was obvious, and it was equivalent to half a promotion meeting.

Clever students understand the meaning as early as the first greeting from the teacher.

Lin Nan met an acquaintance, Shangying.

"Director Lin came to the magic capital, why didn't he say that he would go to the group to sit, Mr. Ren talked about you some time ago."

This is true, Lin Nan's first movie was helped by Shangying, but he got closer to Zhongying.

The later stage and release of "Hidden in the Dust", as well as the announcement of "Stone" by the light, suddenly did not appear on the film.

Mr. Ren will definitely talk about it, but after all, the film school is in the north, and China Film is close, so it has an inherent advantage.

"I have to go next time, after participating in the exchange meeting, I have to catch a plane, and I really haven't seen Mr. Ren for a long time."

"Then next time, let's go first......"

The person in the shadow was smiling, and the two of them left their names in the sign-in book together.

The Modu Drama Academy is quite fancy, and it actually invited some media.

Lin Nan saw a lot of autographs, Huayi, China Film, West Film and other film companies, famous directors and screenwriters, as well as art troupes, drama troupes and other units, as well as some TV drama production companies.

The venue was already very lively, and with the help of the organizer's platform, everyone chatted very highly, and it was impossible to judge how much was true and how much was false.

Cai Yinong of the Tang Dynasty also came, chatting with several screenwriters, and Lin Nan also saw Lu Chuan.

Although "Ke Ke Xili" hit the street at the box office and the copyright did not sell well, the best film of the Golden Horse and the jury award at the Tokyo Film Festival made him a well-known director.

Lin Nan's entry attracted a group of eyes, including this Senior Brother Lu, who turned around and walked towards the crowd of Huayi in the distance.

There were a lot of people who greeted Lin Nan, most of them were the heads of film companies, and some directors and screenwriters.

The exchange meeting entered the main topic, starting from the data of film and television dramas, dramas, operas and other outstanding works and awards in the past two years, and presented them to everyone in the form of reports.

The first half is quite official, but in the second half there are private goods, counting some of the good results achieved by the Modu Drama Academy in recent years, especially some outstanding students.

Lin Nan looked at the person next to him with a puzzled expression, and said in his heart that it would not be so direct, it is also one of the three major art academies.

Who knew that the person in the film smiled and lowered his voice, "Film and television exchange meetings, especially those held by colleges, in fact, this is the theme, you haven't been to the exchange meeting of your film academy, right?" ”

The other party looked at Lin Nan with an affirmative expression, and was sure that it was the first time for Lin Nan to participate in this kind of exchange meeting.

"I was sloppy......"

Lin Nan turned his head and continued to listen to what was said.

"The film and television industry is changing with each passing day and is booming, and all of us here are the pillars of the domestic film and television industry, and I hope that everyone can give the students of the college a chance to show themselves and give young people a stage ......."

Lin Nan listened to it, the crew is growing every year, but it is far less than the growth ratio of employees, and art colleges are also worried about the employment rate, and it is not possible to finish the job with a few pacesetters.

There are too many examples of art schools where students graduate but can't work in their own industry. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the opportunity, and the school's idea at this point is very commendable.

Art troupes and drama theaters generally prefer students from drama academies, and the two drama academies do produce many excellent drama actors, but after all, the mainstream is not drama.

Later, there will be a real exchange meeting, and many companies have come up with projects and places, but they are certainly not important resources, which is enough, and then there will be a special audition channel for students here.

It is also used to discuss cooperation or solicitation between companies, companies and directors and screenwriters.

Lin Nan socialized for a while, and then took the opportunity to sneak out of the venue.

There are a lot of students out there, and the college is also intentional.

Seeing Lin Nan's figure coming out, many people's eyes lit up.

A little girl ran over, "Hello Director Lin, I'm Wang Xiaochen from the 04-level performance department of Shangju......"

"I'm a level 04 Jiang comb shadow ......"

……

By the time Lin Nan saw Hu Ge, there were already five people who had greeted him.

"Isn't there a reception banquet at the back, why did you come out?"

"Not quite used to the occasion. I'm on tomorrow's plane, a long journey, and I'll have to recuperate tonight to talk to you. ”

"Where to go? Also a long walk. Hugo asked curiously.

"California."

Hu Ge nodded, "Then I invite you to eat another meal in the afternoon, and it should all be eaten for you." ”

"No problem."

……

The next morning, Hu Ge drove Lin Nan to the airport.

In the departure room, Lin Nan contacted Tom, who would arrive in Los Angeles at about 8 a.m. on the 5th.

During the twelve-hour flight, Lin Nan slept for eight hours, and when he landed, it was the beginning of another day.

"The air isn't sweet, it'......"

As the crowd poured out, he saw a lot of people holding signs to pick up the plane from a distance, Lin Nan glanced around, looking for a target.

Someone shook the cards, waved their hands, and shouted, "Lin, come here......"

A slightly chubby man who looked to be in his thirties, with short brown hair and glasses, half a head shorter than Lin Nan, was Tom.

"Welcome to Los Angeles."

After getting closer, Tom spoke standard Mandarin and gave Lin Nan a hug.

When he first came into contact, Lin Nan was surprised by the other party's Mandarin, and finally knew that others had taken the initiative to invite Chinese teachers and learn Chinese, and the purpose was very simple, in order to facilitate work and communicate with oriental customers.

"Lin, they've urged you several times, and you've seen your script, you're a genius......"

Tom did not hesitate to praise himself, working for Lin Nan for so long, not only relaxed, but also earned a lot of beautiful knives.

"This time, I need you to help me find a professional lawyer, and there can't be any problems with the contract." Lin Nan sat in Tom's car and said.

Tom, who was driving, was visibly excited when he heard this, "So, have you decided to sell the script?" ”

"Let's talk about the first part first, and the rest is a later story. What about other companies? ”

"There are a lot of companies that have contacted me, and many directors have consulted, but none of them have made it clear, but I am 60% sure that they will not give up."

Lin Nan nodded, it had always been Tom who had delivered the news on his behalf before, and the conditions he quoted were indeed not the asking price of a newcomer. At least here, he was a newcomer at the time.

"There's no hurry. It's a big deal to invest money and do it yourself, find a company to issue it on your behalf, you say yes. Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Yes, I've read every script you sent, you really should come to Hollywood, you belong here."

"Congratulations again, best director in Berlin. Oh my God, you're still so young, and I'm still studying for my qualification......"

Tom rambled on and on all the way, and was a talkative Yankee.

Lin Nan stayed in a star-rated hotel, and Tom asked him if he wanted to go to Hollywood, where the giant companies in the film industry are located, and there are beautiful female stars.

"No, you can contact the Lionsgate guys and tell them I'm here."

You can play whenever you want, but at least you have to get down to business.

"Okay, we're going to make an appointment tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, we're going to Santa Monica."

“OK。”

Staying at the hotel, Lin Nan prepared for the next day's meeting.

Santa Monica, 22 kilometers away from downtown Los Angeles, is the destination of Lin Nan's trip.

A resort with famous coastal attractions and the headquarters of Lionsgate Films in the United States.

The next day, Tom came over very early, and as Lin Nan's agent here, he was obliged to saddle the horse before and after.

"Lin, I have already communicated with the people from Lionsgate yesterday, and they will greet us at the company."

"Let's go, then." Lin Nan fastened his seat belt and said.

The car drove all the way to Santa Monica, Lin Nan was still thinking about his conditions, Lionsgate had always wanted to spend a sum of money to buy out the copyright of the script directly, but Lin Nan did not agree.

After pulling and pulling for a long time, Lionsgate finally compromised and invited Lin Nan for an interview, which is what Lin Nan had to do this time.

Lionsgate is an independent film company that originated in Vancouver, and last year's "Saw Horror" created a box office legend with a small win.

This time, the script that the other party liked was the "Latent" series, and when Tom told Lin Nan about it, the latter could only think of the word fate in his mind at that time, which was too much of a coincidence.

When they came to Lionsgate's headquarters in Santa Monica, Lin Nan and Tom were greeted by a head of the production department, as well as the director of "Saw Horror", James Wing.

"Welcome, Director Lin Nan." Wen Tsairen greeted him.

"Hello, Director Wen." As a Chinese, it's no problem for Lin Nan to call him that.

"When Tom told us that the script was written by a young director, we couldn't believe it, until the news came from Berlin that Director Lin was a genius."

"You're welcome, Saw is amazing."

"Thank you, but Ray Warner didn't come today, he liked your script so much that he was fanatical......"

Lin Nan was quite embarrassed at this time.

"James, don't rush to chat, we have business to talk about." The people from Lionsgate interrupted Wen Ziren at the right time.

In a conference room, Lin Nan and Tom sat together, opposite Wen Ziren and two executives from Lionsgate, and Wen Ziren's attention was immediately reflected.

"Director Lin, if we can cooperate successfully today, if nothing else, I will direct it." Wen Ziren opened his mouth to speak.

One of Lionsgate's executives spoke first, "Lin, it's nice to meet you in person. Previously, we offered a million dollars for the two scripts of "Latent", and at that time Tom said you declined.

You must know that there are many senior screenwriters in the Screenwriters Guild, and a play is only more than 100,000 or 200,000 dollars at most.

In view of this, we specially got to know you, you have written and directed three movies at present, released two films, all of which are big profits, and the third part won the Silver Bear, you are very good. ”
