Chapter 49: Being Young Has an Advantage

The atmosphere at the venue was a bit weird.

The leaders were nodding their heads and thinking about something.

The directors below didn't expect Lin Nan to dare to say it, he deserves to be a young man.

Several big directors looked at Lin Nan with a smile on their faces, and some old people in the association didn't have a good face.

The roll call continued, and Lin Nan sat there, thinking to himself that what he should have said just now was quite tactful, right?

"Do you really dare to say, at the end of the year, Golden Rooster, can you still go to your "Hidden in the Dust"?"

Ning Hao leaned over and said.

This reminded Lin Nan, "Go, why don't you go?" I've taken the silver bear, shouldn't it be the group of people from the Golden Rooster Jury who are embarrassed? ”

Ning Hao thought about it, and it was really like this, "It's just that you took the silver bear, plus your age, so you can be so fearless." ”

"Don't talk about it, listen to others." Lin Nan interrupted Ning Hao.

Being young does have an advantage, and if you tell the truth, the consequences will not be too serious.

At noon, it was solved in the canteen here, or it was said that it was the canteen of the institution, there are dishes in Tiannan and Haibei, and the taste style is no worse than the outside hotel.

At the end of the afternoon, Wang Xiaoshuai specially came over to greet Lin Nan, "Qinghong" will be released in China in early June, and learned the lesson of "Peacock", Wang Xiaoshuai is ready to hold a premiere and invite the two to participate.

"No problem."

"Goodbye, two directors." Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to wave.

When the others were far away, Ning Hao sighed, "I also want to shoot this kind of theme." ”

Ning Hao's old problem has been committed again.

"Don't look at it, Zhou Zhiruo has gone away." Lin Nan deliberately deviated.

"Whoever reads, don't talk nonsense. I just feel it, and feature films and realistic themes still have to take the route of winning awards at film festivals. ”

In the distance, Mr. Han caught up, "You kid is really big mouth today, you dare to say anything." ”

"Mr. Han, but I'm not wrong, look at those old men who judge, how many of them are really making movies, they are all so old, and they still occupy a position......"

"Okay, okay, let's take this situation, we have to give the old-timers a little step, change will definitely change, we have to take it slowly."

I'm afraid I'll have to wait for many years, Lin Nan complained silently in his heart.

At this time, the person from the film came over, "Mr. Han, Director Lin, Director Ning." ”

"Director Lin, do you want to take time to go to the film festival, Mr. Ren told me to tell you about this, after all, we are the host ...... film."

"The Magic City Film Festival?"

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment and reacted.

"I don't have any work, what are I doing there? Didn't Ning Hao already agree to take someone with him? ”

Ning Hao didn't speak on the side, although he was the director of "Stone", it could be seen that others cared a lot about whether Lin Nan could be there.

"If you don't go, you won't go, Lin Nan will have to prepare for the release of "Hidden in the Dust" next month."

At this time, Han Sanping came out and said something and relieved Lin Nan.

China Film is responsible for the promotion and distribution of "Hidden in the Dust", which was negotiated by Han Sanping in Berlin, so he naturally wanted Lin Nan to concentrate on this.

"Yes, I'm sorry, you heard that, I do have a job schedule."

Lin Nan took the opportunity to follow.

The film festival from the 11th to the 19th, to be honest, did not affect the promotion of "Hidden in the Dust", but Han Sanping helped him find a reason, and he just used it.

The people in the shadow had no choice but to leave.

"Lao Ren should feel uncomfortable, he won't even go to you, hahaha." Han Sanping said with a smile.

"Just look at this year's jury lineup and entries, I went purely to set up a stage for others."

Lin Nan still hasn't said a word, it is said that it is an international film festival, but the scale is really not large, he doesn't want to carry a sedan chair for others, if it is next year, he may consider going around.

Many participants left one after another, Ning Hao returned to the studio, and sent Lin Nan back to school by the way.

"Can't you buy a car?"

Ning Hao complained all the way, he had never seen Lin Nan's old man mentality, he didn't buy a house or a car.

"I'll marry a wife in the future and use hers." Lin Nan's oil cavity is slippery.

"You can pull it down, you don't even have a girlfriend, and you still have a wife, and you're too thick-skinned."

Ning Hao had a look of disbelief on his face.

……

In March, Wang Jing's producer, screenwriter, and producer "No. 1 in the World" was launched, and the ratings were very high, and everyone sighed that Wang Jing deserved to be Wang Jing, played movies, and made good TV series.

In the past two days, Wang Jing's "Little Fish and Flowers" has been broadcast, and there are even more followers, Nicholas Tse, Zhang Weijian, Yuan Quan, Fan Bingbing ......, watching the lineup makes the audience full of expectations.

The students of the film academy are also good at chasing dramas, Lin Nan heard many girls talking about Yang Xue of the 99th level, and her words were full of envy, that was Jiang Yuyan, the anti-No. 1 heroine throughout the whole play, there are Fan Bingbing and Yuan Quan in the play, but they are all supporting roles.

Liu Yifei said that Liu's mother was contacting people from Sony and wanted to produce a Chinese album and a Japanese album together.

Lin Nan has to admit that the pop music over there at this stage is really powerful, many singers on Hong Kong Island have cooperated with it, and Sony's strength is also the top in the industry.

"It's estimated that it will take a year, and it takes time to create a good song."

Liu Yifei told Lin Nan the message that Sony replied.

"During this time, you won't take on the show?"

"Mom and godfather said that they would not take on TV series in the future, and if there is a movie, they can watch it."

Liu Yifei said, and winked at Lin Nan.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that, I won't be able to come up with a script that suits you for a while."

Lin Nan spread his hands.

Liu Yifei has only acted in four TV series at this age, and it is difficult to have a suitable movie for her to star, unless she plays a supporting role, some realistic themes, she may not be able to move.

"Don't forget what you promised me."

Liu Yifei crossed her hands in front of her chest, and with this sentence at this moment, she still looked fierce.

"I won't forget, when it's right, I'll definitely find you to play the leading role." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it."

……

On June 2, Lin Nan and Ning Hao were invited to participate in the domestic premiere of "Qinghong".

There are a lot of movies released every year, but very few can get the ideal box office in the end, especially the realistic feature film "Qinghong", that is, it won the Jury Award, which has more confidence, and the same is true for "Hidden in the Dust".

There is not much time left for "Qinghong", and Jay Chou's "Initial Text" is coming, and the power of fans cannot be ignored.

There are many directors who cheer for Wang Xiaoshuai, many of whom are immersed in feature films and realistic themes all year round, Lin Nan and Ning Hao look very embarrassed in it, mainly because their ages do not match, and they are all about forty, or even older.

didn't stay long, Lin Nan and Ning Hao left as soon as they finished.

"It's still the premiere of a commercial film." Ning Hao complained.

"yes, I was thinking that "Hidden in the Dust" would not have its premiere."

Realistic themes are generally a bit heavy, and it always seems abrupt to hold a banquet after watching a movie, and it is suitable if it is a commercial film.

At the premiere of "Qinghong", all the people present were old-school media, most of them were official media, and the atmosphere was decent, even a little dull, so Lin Nan and Ning Hao couldn't stand it.

"It's good not to do it, just do a good job of publicity, after all, it's the movie where you picked up the silver bear. Tsk, it's all about profit after the release. ”

"Haha, yes."

Facts have proved that the audience still doesn't like to watch this kind of heavy film in the cinema, and the box office of "Qinghong" was only a few hundred thousand on the first day after its release.

The media has already pulled "Green Red" and "Peacock" together for coverage, and both won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and Berlin respectively, and the box office is also surprisingly low.

The pressure is on Lin Nan's side, and there is still nearly a month before the release of "Hidden in the Dust", can he get rid of the low box office curse of "Qinghong" and "Peacock".

Han Sanping contacted Lin Nan and asked him if he wanted to speak out publicly, and he also took the opportunity to publicize it.

Just do it, Lin Nan was interviewed.

"I know that most people like to have a family movie, it's fun for the body and mind. Realistic themes generally can't do this, it expresses the story of life, and there are many regrets and sufferings, but it is real and sincere, and most of the things that can move people's hearts are the bitter sufferings of life......"

The draft given by Zhongying was good, Lin Nan revised it slightly, and then used it.

"Hidden in the Dust" and "Qinghong" and "Peacock" are different, it is more bitter and difficult than the latter two, Lin Nan only hopes that he will not be scolded at that time, but the reputation should not be bad.

Lionsgate's efficiency is really high, and it's only been a month and a half, and the filming of "Dead Silence" is about to be finished.

"James, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Lin Nan asked Wen Ziren, although he was prepared for this, he still couldn't believe it when he heard that the filming was going to be finished.

"Director Lin Nan, your script is very good, we haven't made any changes, and the crew filmed very smoothly. You know, as long as the props crew is okay, this kind of film is already fast. Next, we will do the post-production as quickly as possible, and when the finished film comes out, you also need to come and see ......"

"Okay, I'll be there."

According to Wen Tsairen, the post-production is concentrated in June, and it is planned to be completely completed this month.

And look at the meaning of Lionsgate, when it is done in the later stage, it will be released at any time, which is also the reason for contacting Lin Nan, the time to test the results is coming soon.

Ning Hao took the crew to the magic capital in advance, and a group of people were all looking forward to it, the box office reputation of "Stone" was so good, the probability of winning the award should be quite large, right?

The publicity of "Initial Text" has been fully rolled out, and the movie starring Jay Chou, the hottest singer in the past two years, and the Hong Kong Island actor team, is not short of gimmicks.

The copyright of "Qinghong" sold in Cannes definitely made money, but after the promotion of "Initial Text" was rolled out, the box office of the former was even more miserable, and it has only reached 2 million so far.

"Not long after "Stone" was released, "Hidden in the Dust" can still use the reputation of the former to stir up, you have an advantage over director Xiaoshuai and director Chang Wei."

China Film is already preparing for the release of "Hidden in the Dust", and it is reasonable to borrow a wave of popularity from "Stone".

Mr. Han is still worried about whether "Initial Text" will have an impact on "Hidden in the Dust", and the publicity and distribution costs of China Film are shared from the box office revenue.

"No, there are twelve days in the middle, and the focus of their promotion is Jay Chou, but no matter how many fans can't keep supporting the box office like this, the box office should be about the same before July."
