Chapter 102: Change Mentor and Buy a Company
Lin Nan understood very well why Tian Xiangzhuang said that the Master of Arts was too watery.
"Candidates must have made remarkable achievements in film and television artistic creation, and provide authentic and detailed supporting materials."
The most demanding requirements are the easiest for insiders, this is a gold-plated degree, as long as the first round of English and political culture courses has passed, isn't the second round of fighting for fame?
It is said that it is the basic knowledge of the interview major, who doesn't know if you eat this bowl of rice?
Unlike Lin Nan, a feature film and documentary director major, there are strict requirements for professional skills.
On the 14th, the weather was sunny, and Lin Nan got up early in the morning.
I remember that during the art examination last year, there were many students in the school for the art examination, although there were also reporters who followed and reported on it, but the number was small.
Unlike today, the actors and stars who came to the second round of interviews were all named actors, and the attention of public opinion suddenly increased, and media reporters were several times that of candidates.
Lin Nan followed behind Tian Xiangxing, in a group of middle-aged and elderly people in their thirties and forties, he was so conspicuous.
It's obviously a serious second-round interview, and it's the same as the press conference, maybe that's the characteristic of this circle.
"Director Tian, I would like to ask, is it really appropriate for Director Lin Nan to participate in the interview of graduate students?"
There are already bold journalists who have spoken.
"He doesn't participate in the interview of professional graduate students, but on the job education side, do you think he is qualified?"
This answer is very powerful, on-the-job education, everyone knows what it is, it is said in the brochure, it is opened for the prosperity of cultural undertakings.
Although the Master of Arts is an on-the-job degree, a comparison of the two names means that this is heaven and earth.
When the candidates for the re-examination arrived one after another, they saw what the gap was.
Zhao Yanzi was surrounded by reporters, on the contrary, the other candidates were much lonelier.
Lin Nan saw that the faces of several old professors were not very good-looking, but some of them were just the opposite.
Ten faculties recruit graduate students, and the number of re-examiners is 120% of the quota, and the probability of success is simply too high, just like having been pre-admitted.
Those who apply for the directing department are re-examined in the same classroom, but the difficulty of the master's degree and the master's degree is different.
Lin Nan is a graduate student, but this is the first time he has seen the re-examination of a master's degree.
Lens selection, narrative ideas, color matching and rhythm control, how to train actors, and what to do if an actor can't get into the role for a long time?
Randomly watch some movies, analyze its shooting ideas and techniques, and the director's ......
"Sure enough, it's a master's degree!"
Lin Nan swallowed, these questions are very difficult for newcomers, most of them can only be read from the book, and the tutors want to hear some different points of view, their own opinions.
Lin Nan only has the qualifications to see, and he can only speak when the Yishuo interview begins.
There is a very skinny question, Lin Nan has never heard of any of these people who are taking the master's examination, is it true that they will all go to make art films in the future?
"Hello teachers, I'm candidate Zhao Yanzi."
Lin Nan began to prepare.
"What is the difference between the shooting requirements and positioning of movies and TV series?" An associate professor asked.
Lin Nan was a little confused, and shouted in his heart: "You don't bring such water, do you?" ”
Although I said that there is no interview outline and there is no definite range, this is too much.
Looking at Tian Xiang, he was drinking tea with his head down.
Such a simple question, just memorize it from the book.
Lin Nan is here today to give Tian Zhuangxiang a hand, and he will take the blame.
"What do you think of Veuve Clicquot's "Boundless"?"
After those paddling problems passed, Lin Nan came to a different place.
The professors present were in a slightly different mood in an instant, and the corners of their mouths were rarely lightly grinned.
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a moment.
Maybe Zhao Yanzi didn't expect to have this kind of problem, evaluating Director Chen's movie.
"Very, very good...... Nominated for the Golden Globe Award, he is rushing to the Olympics. ”
I could tell that she didn't know what words to use to answer, so she could only talk about something else.
This question is indeed very tricky, involving human feelings and objective judgment.
"What do you think of the storytelling of this film?"
This question was thrown out in the form of a field, and Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, he could retreat.
The rest of the people looked at it.
"Director Chen has his narrative style, I think it's very good......"
Lin Nan knew that there was a result.
……
When I came out to breathe, I met Huang Xiaoming, next to him was Zhao Yanzi, and the two had just been interviewed by reporters.
"Director Lin."
Lin Nan walked over, and Zhao Yanzi followed Huang Xiaoming over.
"The acting department has finished the interview?" Lin Nan asked.
"It's easy to do, after all, it's a major, and the teachers are all acquaintances. By the way, can you reveal what the swallow turned out to be? ”
Zhao Yanzi on the side was also smiling.
"This is the matter of those mentors, how do I know, you are trying to trick me with this problem." Lin Nan teased.
"Haha, I didn't think about pitting you, but if I care, it's messy."
"The interviews for the masters are still going on, and it turns out that they have to have a meeting in the evening at the earliest."
Lin Nan still said something.
The media is very optimistic about these big stars, or those who graduated from Nortel, and if there is an accident, it is estimated that the news will be very good.
"I think she is very good, well-known, and willing to come back to her alma mater to continue her studies in the directing department, this kind of student we should focus on."
One professor said.
Everyone looked at Tian Zhuang, because Zhao Yanzi's first choice was Tian Zhuang.
"Her answer to "Wu Ji" is very, very slippery, which may be the reason for working hard in society for several years, but the director has to have his own ideas and dare to express them."
After a pause, Tian Zhuangzhuang continued: "She is the most famous among the students interviewed in this batch, Lin Nan is already my student, if there are more of her, it will not be good to spread it, forget it." ”
Obviously, a few professors were moved, and Lin Nan was also relieved, the brush couldn't be brushed, so she would change her tutor.
"You see who is willing to take her, you can tell her, after all, a few old guys from the acting department said hello."
With the phrase Tian Zhuangzhuang, several other professors understood.
Since they don't want it, then they can consider it, having a famous student is also beneficial to the tutor, although it is not as good as Lin Nan.
After finishing the school's affairs, Lin Nan prepared for other serious things.
"You're on a business trip?"
Liu Yifei asked in surprise.
"Go for a few days."
"It's a pity that I have to cooperate with the publicity, otherwise I will go with you."
The girl said with a look of regret.
"I'm not here to play, it's all business, and I won't stay there for a long day after that."
"What's the matter?"
"The release of 'Time Cruise'."
"Well, okay then, go early and come back early, pay attention to self-cleanliness......"
Liu Yifei said naturally, it was the last few words that made Lin Nan a little uncomfortable.
A pair of big watery eyes can't see any other emotions, and it's very incomprehensible.
Without telling anyone else, Lin Nan flew to Los Angeles alone.
"Lin, I think you must have something good to do this time."
"Tom, I remember you're not married, right? You need to lose weight, and if you continue like this, I may have a new agent in the near future. ”
Looking at Tom like a ball, Lin Nan was a little speechless, it has only been a few years, and this guy has swelled several times.
"Oh, don't say that, as long as there is money, I will always be the most handsome one in the hearts of girls, except Leon."
"Alright, let's go."
Lin Nan interrupted him.
Getting into the large SUV, Tom took Lin Nan and set off for Santa Monica.
"Lionsgate's "Chainsaw 2" made another big profit, winning more than 30 million dollars at the box office in three days, which is simply too tempting."
This time Lin Nan came over, there were really several things.
Wan Tsai-yan stepped down as the director of "Chainsaw" and is ready to produce "Latent".
Lin Nan came over to go through the motions, and by the way, the release of "Time and Space Cruise" was finalized.
The original "Horror Cruise", which cost $12 million in products, was changed by him, and he only hoped for a good result, such a good book, it was a pity that it was smashed.
At least this release is much stronger than the one in memory, and he has a reputation of his own.
"Tom, are there any studios in Hollywood that sell them, the smaller ones?"
Lin Nan asked suddenly.
Tom was in high spirits as he drove the car.
"Lin, you're asking the right person, the most important thing in Hollywood is actors and film companies.
Especially those small and medium-sized film companies, there are countless closures and new openings every month.
How, do you want to buy one? ”
"I may need you to help me screen these companies, preferably ...... with enough technicians, equipment, and foundations"
Lin Nan said his request slowly.
"This kind of thing is very easy to do, every industry is the top of the food is full, the bottom of the survival of the last.
The same is true for Hollywood film technicians, most of whom want to go to big studios, but most of them still make a living in small companies......"
Lin Nan listened to these words, and also sighed with some emotion, those low-level technicians in Tom's mouth, they can mix well if they are pulled to China casually, but this is the United States, only those who drill here, no one wants to go to other countries.
"That's it, you can help me find it, I'm going to buy one with all my own money, and it should be okay to have a few million dollars, right?"
"Lin, maybe it won't take that much." Tom said with a smile.
"If it works, you can be my professional manager......
The car stopped on the side of the road with a sudden brake.
"Damn, are you trying to murder me?" Lin Nan scolded.
"No, no, dear Lin, have you finally figured it out? Are you going to come here to develop? I said a long time ago, you should come over, we will definitely be able to become bigger and stronger together......"
Looking at the excited Tom, Lin Nan was amused, "Let's drive, let's talk slowly." ”
“OK。”
Tom always thought that he was missing a chance until he met Lin Nan.
In the past few years, the remuneration for working for Lin Nan has accounted for more than half of his income, and he feels that this is a very high-quality employer.
"Lin, let's talk about professional managers, you know my work ability, professional things in movies are done by professional employees, I'm good to be a big housekeeper, that's how you describe it?"
"Let's wait until you help me find the right company, I don't want to buy an empty shell.
You have to have professional staff and equipment that can be ready to go, you know what I mean? Only then can you become the big butler, General Manager Tom! ”
"Oh, that's a cool title, I'll help you, no, help us get it."
