Chapter 118: Fox's taunts, refusing to cooperate

Directed by Li An, heroine, and bed scene, these words add up to have a killing effect on newcomers or most actresses.

"I didn't find out until later."

Liu Yifei muttered, don't say that she is not suitable, even if she is suitable, she will not shoot.

"How's it going, the effect of the Japanese EP?" Lin Nan asked.

"It feels okay, after all, Sony has helped, they said they have to watch the album, and that is the test of results."

Liu Yifei's Chinese and Japanese albums are scheduled to be released in August and September.

In the near future, the first Chinese single will also be announced in advance on major portals.

"Then look forward to your album being a big hit, and save more dowry when the time comes."

Lin Nan quipped.

"The beauty of thought."

The girl glared at Lin Nan and smiled with her eyebrows.

Now that she lives closer, it is very convenient for Liu Yifei to come to Lin Nan, and she can still be together during dinner, Liu Xiaoli also thinks it is very lively, as long as it is all under her nose.

Lin Nan's head is a little big, and he doesn't know what theme to choose for the next movie.

Over there, "Golden Armor" and "Night Banquet" were fighting, Zhang Weiping, who originally didn't say that he had applied for the Oscars, directly submitted the application materials to the Film Bureau after the finale, and "Night Banquet", which had been shouting about the Olympics, was taken first.

There can only be one rule to go to the Olympics, which makes Feng Xiaogang's team very passive, and the competitors who come out halfway are more famous in the world than themselves.

Xijie sent three invitations to Lin Nan in a row, and the filming of "New World" is in full swing, and they really hope that Lin Nan, the screenwriter, can go there.

In the past three months, three movies related to Lin Nan have been released, two involving Hollywood, coupled with Lin Nan's age and award achievements, they desperately hope that he can show his face in the past.

"Go around, scatter your mind, and maybe you'll make a choice."

Lin Nan is vacillating between youth romance movies and costume movies, as for the award films, let's wait.

Liu Yifei still wants to go with Lin Nan, so she will take it as a tourist.

"What's there to travel over there, it's all fake."

Lin Nan pinched her smooth face, and was slapped away by Liu Yifei, "It's so itchy, haha." ”

Liu Xiaoli didn't know when she came out, "Lin Nan is going to work, what kind of mess are you making, and there is still album promotion to do." ”

She is still a little unaccustomed to the intimate behavior of Lin Nan and her daughter just now, this is her own girl.

……

It only takes two hours to fly by plane, and Lin Nan feels that when he is stuck in traffic, he may not be able to get out of the capital city at this time.

Lin Nan came with an employee, and the person who picked up Xijie was very attentive.

"Director Lin, the company has arranged a reception banquet, let's just go over directly, and there will be media reporters waiting on the set later......"

Lin Nan thought it was really a feast, but when he arrived, he realized that it was not what he thought.

There are several middle and high-level executives in the production department of Xijie, and there are many artists from its subsidiaries or brother companies, well, female artists.

The class of the South Korean entertainment industry is much clearer and stricter than in China, and the bottom is those idols, below the capital, the highest status should be the powerful directors and screenwriters.

Originally, I went to the set in the afternoon to go back to the process, but I was fooled by these old bastards like Xijie until the evening.

"Director Lin, rest well at night, we can go to the set tomorrow, if you need anything, you can tell them, there are many girls who admire you, they are all clean......"

Lin Nan couldn't believe what he heard, the first time he came over, was it so direct?

"No, no, you can leave."

"Okay."

Lin Nan closed the door with his backhand, "Good guy, this evil South Korean ......"

There were knocks on the door several times in the first half of the night, Lin Nan was indifferent, you have to be careful outside, especially when you live in a hotel, a photo flows out, and your reputation is gone.

The next morning, Lin Nan arrived on the set of "New World", which is a man's play, a more thorough gangster film than "Infernal Affairs", and many people greeted Lin Nan in Korean, but he couldn't understand it.

The cameras of the Korean media are constantly flickering, and Lin Nan has a 10% box office income, and he is very cooperative at this time.

"Director Lin, the screenwriter of this movie is you, and before the release, you still need your cooperation to do some publicity."

Lin Nan was a little confused, "Here, the screenwriter still has this obligation?" ”

"No, Director Lin is different." The other party said with a smile.

I remembered that Xijie said at the beginning that he needed his own fame and resume to do publicity.

"Okay, no problem."

The news of Lin Nan's appearance in South Korea was transmitted back to China, which surprised many people.

The script he sold to Xijie before was only known to a small range of people, but now everyone in the sub-circle knows about it.

"He can stretch his hand quite well, Hollywood for a while, South Korea for a while, is he busy?"

Wang Zhonglei said this, but he was still very envious in his heart, and Feng Xiaogang was sitting opposite, discussing whether to submit materials to the film festival to register for the Olympics.

……

Lin Nan did not return to China, and flew directly from South Korea to Los Angeles alone, letting the employees return to China by themselves.

Tom said that Twentieth Century Fox wanted to meet him, and when he said this, Tom was very excited.

Lin Nan asked him what the specific matter was, and Tom only knew that they had taken a fancy to a script, and hoped that Lin Nan could give a reply as soon as possible, or meet in person.

"Script?"

When Lin Nan was on the plane, he was still thinking about which script the other party wanted to talk about, but he really couldn't guess.

landed in Los Angeles, and Lin Nan got into Tom's car.

"James's crew has just been organized, and it will start shooting in two days." Tom reports back.

"Tell me about Fox." Lin Nan urged.

"They only said that they watched a science fiction movie, but they didn't specify it, they just wanted to see you as soon as possible."

"Then go to the company first and tell them that I'm here."

Stepping into his own crystal film industry, Lin Nan had a sense of satisfaction, and the employees noticed this oriental boss and greeted him warmly.

"Recently, I took on some post-production work for animated films, and everyone worked very hard." Tom said from the side.

Lin Nan walked to the office area and looked at it, it shouldn't be a famous animated movie.

That afternoon, Fox made an appointment to meet Lin Nan and Tom.

As they passed by Beverly Hills, Tom and Lin Nan both saluted.

It is known as the most expensive residential area in the world, and it also has the most exclusive shopping street.

"Lin, one of the biggest dreams of my life is to buy my house here."

Tom said this with a rare lack of excitement.

Lin Nan smiled and drew a big pie, "I also want to buy one, we will all have it." ”

Arriving at Twentieth Century Fox, Lin Nan and Tom were welcomed into the lounge.

The status of one of the eight is world-renowned, and this headquarters in Century City in Beverly Hills can be seen, which is simply inhumane.

After a while, two foreigners in their forties came in, "Tom, is this your boss, Lin?" ”

"Yes, the youngest director of the Berlin Silver Bear."

Tom took the initiative to defend it.

"Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for seeing us so quickly, it stands to reason that we should be looking for you."

Lin Nan felt that what the other party said was against his will, so you should look for it, why did you let Tom convey it.

"It's okay, it's all for the art of film." Lin Nan also went against his heart once, not because of the banknotes.

"The marketing department has actually seen a lot of good scripts from you, but you know, we also have our own screenwriting department, and we only occasionally go to the guild to have a look, which is ......the case with several large companies."

Before this kind of price reduction, Lin Nan was mentally prepared and a little disdainful, all of which were left over from thousands of years of play by his ancestors.

"Let's just say it, which one did your company fancy it?"

Lin Nan interrupted the other party's words at the right time and asked with a smile.

The other party was stunned for a moment and said, "The Martian." ”

Lin Nan was clever, his heart was beating a little fast, and he thought that these guys were really vicious, and they were staring at the big goods all of a sudden.

"So, what price is Twentieth Century Fox going to offer me?"

Lin Nan said the full name of the other company.

"The script and all the copyrights were completely sold out to us, and it no longer has anything to do with you after that."

"What about the price?"

"Eight hundred thousand dollars." The other party said.

"Hehe, sir, that's too cheap, isn't it?"

Lin Nan had already put away his smiling face at this time, and Tom next to him was also dissatisfied, the price offered by Lionsgate for horror films was higher than this, not to mention this kind of script.

Lin Nan's script was all done with Tom's help, and it was roughly impressive, this is a very imaginative science fiction script, and it will be a blockbuster when it is made.

"We can add your name to the finished film, which is not comparable to those Lionsgate horror movies."

"Then I might as well shoot it myself." Lin Nan said with anger in his endurance.

The other person on the other side seemed to have heard a funny joke.

"Hahaha...... Lin, this kind of movie can only be made by Hollywood, a company like Fox.

Are you going to shoot in your own country? At the level of your country, it is difficult to achieve. ”

At this moment, Lin Nan had a feeling that he was not only insulted, but also the domestic film industry was ridiculed, and it was even more than just an industry, this arrogant tone was disgusting.

"Sir, your words are very impolite." Lin Nan said in a cold tone.

"I'm sorry, Lin, I'm more direct, but these are the truth, what the current film industry in your country is like, we know, only those kung fu movies are still watched.

Just like you and the new line of "Adventure to the Center of the Earth", the 3D version is exciting, but you can't even get a hundred theaters on your side......"

This feeling of being ridiculed and ridiculed but unable to refute it is simply too aggrieved, and Lin Nan doesn't want to endure it.

"I'm sorry, but our cooperation today can't be reached and won't be reached."

After speaking, Lin Nan got up and walked out directly, and Tom hurriedly followed.

The remaining two foreigners stared wide-eyed, "Didn't you say that there was a high probability of success?" ”

It was supposed to be successful, but why did he refuse? Is it because the two of us are too hard to cut the price? ”

"Forget it, let the news out, just say that the Chinese director rejected our invitation to cooperate with 1.2 million script fees and 2% box office share."

"Yes, sir. But don't we fight for it anymore? How do you answer the above question? ”

"If he refuses, can we still detain him and force him to sign a contract?"

"Oh, I see."
