The news of Li An's casting for "Lust and Caution" swept through the Chinese film and television circle like a hurricane.

Whether it is the star-studded Shanghai Film Festival, or Zhang Weiping and Wang Jing who are scolding bad movies in the air, or Spielberg and Zhang Yimou's discussion about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, they have all been suppressed by the news of "Lust and Caution".

On both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, all school-age actresses are staring at the corner of the heroine.

The news of "going to Beijing for casting" came out, and art academies such as Chinese opera, Nortel, and Beijing Dance were not calm all of a sudden.

Including those who are in school, or who have just graduated, will be within the scope of Li An's screening.

Because Director Li An made it clear that this time it will still be like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a combination of old and new, just like Zhou Runfa and Zhang Ziyi at the beginning.

The media excerpted Li An's requirements for the heroine: "A small and delicate southern beauty, a delicately contoured face, a water snake waist, an expectation of lust, and a mature ...... that needs to be beyond her age"

"It's like a light in the dark night, and more young girls pounce on it like moths." Lin Nan's metaphor is still very appropriate.

Even Liu Xiaoli read these requirements, and after reading the original book, she warned Liu Yifei and Shu to make a fool of themselves, although their age did not meet the requirements at all.

Wen Zairen finally replied.

didn't care about the release of the movie, Lin Nan boarded the plane again alone.

Tom has been diligent in the past two months, not only helping Lin Nan complete all the procedures, but also recruiting some new people.

When Lin Nan entered the company, he saw the new company name and logo.

"Lin, how's it going? According to what you said, the name of this company is now: Crystal Film Productions Co., Ltd., you are the boss, I am the CEO, haha......"

The first floor is the office area, the second and third floors are the post-production places, the equipment and equipment are there, and there are many design rooms and studios with different divisions of labor.

At present, the number of employees has reached the early 40s.

"Not bad, Tom." Lin Nan affirmed.

"I'm just waiting for you to come over and give the order to start work."

"Has James arrived?"

"He's in the first studio on the third floor, and he's been there for half an hour."

Lin Nan nodded, and was about to go upstairs, but was pulled by Tom.

"Let's say hello to everyone first."

Lin Nan didn't think of this.

"Let's put down what we are doing and get to know our boss, director Lin Nan from the Eastern Country, who is also the best Silver Bear director in Berlin, and Lionsgate's "Dead Silence" and "Latent" are his scripts......"

Tom talked boastfully, a group of people laughed and applauded in welcome, Lin Nan saw a lot of yellow skin, a little emotional.

"Good morning, everyone, I'll have a big meal at noon, and Tom will take care of it."

Now all the employees are happy, they are all engaged in technology and later stage, they are simple-minded, the salary is good, and everything is OK.

Lin Nan went up to the third floor, with an area of seven or eight hundred square meters, and there were many large studios, all of which had different uses, some composition, some prop design, as well as special effects production, editing, etc., although all kinds of equipment were second-hand, they were very complete, and they looked new.

Wen Ziren flipped through a book, and when he saw Lin Nan coming in, he put it down casually.

"Director Lin."

"Director Wen, it's been two months since you replied."

Lin Nan sat on the sofa opposite Wen Ziren and said with a smile.

The other party helped his glasses, "Actually, after that day, I was thinking about this problem, and I was busy with "Chainsaw 3" during this time. ”

Wen Ziren glanced at Lin Nan, and then said, "You know, I actually get a share in Liongate. ”

"But it's only a few points, isn't it?" Lin Nan said directly.

"Hehe, that's why I'm here today. Lin, tell me about your sincerity. ”

Wen Ziren was also a little more honest at this moment.

"Sancheng, the staff and equipment here will cooperate with you, your work will pay plus a small amount of funds, give you 30% of the investment proportion, there are no bells and whistles, losses and the like, a drama down, how much should it be, how?"

Lin Nan gave his greatest sincerity, with Wen Ziren's efficiency and quality in horror films, it is impossible to lose.

"I just set up a studio half a month ago." Wen Ziren said with a smile.

"Haha, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"It was a pleasure to work with. However, I would like to know, what are your thoughts on the first play? Filming "The Conjuring"? ”

Wen then asked.

"No, that's later. Have you watched my Time Cruise? ”

"Look, the brain hole is very big, and the idea is ingenious."

"I have a script here, and it's very similar to the idea." Lin Nan looked at Wen Ziren.

"Horror?" Wen Tsairen was instantly interested.

"yes, you wait a minute."

As he spoke, Lin Nan walked out of the room and took a laptop from Tom.

"Happy Death Day?"

……

Lin Nan once again reduced the production cost, and he also has confidence in Wen Ziren.

"Tom, you need to keep an eye on the things of the crew in the back, the company can't take on too much outsourcing work at present, and when you get busy in the future, you won't take on outside work.

James's crew, you need to be strict about the funding, but the help he needs can't be sloppy, this is our first film, we have to get off to a good start. ”

"Don't worry, Lin, I'll do it."

Lin Nan listened to Wen Ziren's meaning, as if Lionsgate knew about his studio.

It can be seen that Wen Tsairen also has some high-level friends within Lionsgate.

Lin Nan was still on the plane back, and "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" has begun to be released.

At present, there are 3D theaters in China, and there are even rarer iMax theaters, the former accounts for a very small proportion, and the latter is even more single-digit.

After getting off the plane, Lin Nan received a call from China Film, and after the first day of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", the feedback from different moviegoers varied greatly.

People who watch the 2D version think it is a good fantasy adventure film, and the audience who watches the 3D version and even the iMax giant screen is shocked.

From the next day, 3D theaters began to be hard to find, even if the ticket price reached hundreds of yuan, the glasses had to pay a deposit.

At present, only in the capital, Shanghai and other big cities, there are some 3D theaters, is it time to update the equipment?

Wanda Cinema Line can be said to be in the front, and it consciously expanded its 3D theater before, and the reputation was suddenly highlighted at this time.

In this sci-fi film, the male protagonist is the protagonist, but Liu Yifei's appearance also gave the domestic audience a little more favor.

This vase role has made many well-known actresses feel sorry so far.

Lin Nan met with Huayi and Wanda's people in Zhongying.

"According to the news from the new line, nearly 3,000 theaters have opened in North America, and 57% of the theaters are 3D theaters......"

The data collected by China Film was laid out, and the gap between the film markets on both sides became clear all of a sudden.

"It is estimated that everyone is now very interested in the box office data, the box office of North America is 21 million dollars, there are too few domestic 3D theaters, and there is piracy competition in 2D......"

Han Sanping breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, and then the people of Huayi and Wanda became nervous.

"But hundreds of millions of dollars is definitely no problem, according to the analysis of the new line, the global box office is likely to be earned."

"Mr. Han, you panting."

"Haha, it's just to scare you, there is a high probability of earning, but it's best not to expect too much, this kind of movie is far more important to our prestige than money, and it is also an accumulation of experience."

Huayi and Wanda hurriedly went back to prepare the draft, and Han Sanping left Lin Nan.

"Another trip to Hollywood?"

"Why can't you hide anything from Mr. Han? But I didn't bring the item back. Lin Nan said helplessly.

"That's a pity, but now that you've graduated, let's get up to efficiency, hurry up and think about the next film, young people, don't be lazy, learn from someone Zhang Yi."

"Well, I'll start thinking about it when I get back." Lin Nan hugged his fists and said.

"Adventure in the Center of the Earth" was released with great momentum, but because of the lack of domestic theater hardware, the follow-up was powerless, which made the relevant departments very aggrieved.

There are many people who watch the jokes, but they don't dare to say it explicitly, which not only offends the five domestic investors, but also slaps all theaters in the face.

Liu Yifei was very distressed, and finally acted in a blockbuster, but most people could only see her in 2D movies.

Lin Nan is choosing the office address of the new company.

Not far from several art schools, it is a twelve-story office building, surrounded by most of the companies in the fields of culture, film and television, and entertainment, many of which are related to several schools.

This was introduced to Lin Nan by Wanda's people.

Fortunately, Lin Nan has made several movies recently, otherwise he really wouldn't have made up his mind to buy them.

In the end, he took out a loan, and the bank also hoped that Lin Nan would borrow more money, and the time could be as long as possible, but he refused.

After a few months, the movie will be divided, and it will be fine, and he will not move the stocks he invests in.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the movie-watching group of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", either staring at those 3D theaters, or directly watching pirated versions, resulting in nearly eighty percent of the box office growth coming from 3D theaters.

In response to this phenomenon, a document was issued to encourage the cinema line to increase investment and construction, speed up equipment renewal, and prosper the market.

The theater chain was also in a hurry, and suddenly found that because of the equipment, the ready-made money could not be made, and only some people were calling for a crackdown on piracy.

Lin Nan drove back to school, packed his luggage, lived in the dormitory for four years, and said goodbye.

The graduation season is generally earlier than the summer vacation, and many students in school saw Lin Nan stuffing luggage into the car one by one, and understood that the big director was moving out of school, not to the graduate dormitory.

Many junior students were looking forward to getting acquainted with Lin Nan at school in the future, but now it's completely out of play.

"I really let Mimi guess, Senior Lin Nan won't live on campus even if he goes to graduate school, it's a pity."

"Senior Lin Nan, do you want to help?"

When I looked up, it was Yang Mi, and before Lin Nan could react, the other party had already helped Lin Nan pick up the computer bag.

"Thank you." Lin Nan could only thank him.

"No thanks, as long as the seniors give me a chance to audition for a movie in the future, hehe."

It seems to be a joke, but it is the most difficult to accept, Lin Nan smiled, "You better prepare your "Dream of Red Mansions" seriously first, how to say that it is also one of the four famous novels." ”

"Don't delay, it's still early to turn on."

Lin Nan admires this dedication, it seems that every time she meets Yang Mi, she will always say a few words intentionally or unintentionally to find opportunities for herself.
