Chapter 136: Buried Alive

Recently, Sun Li's "funding door" has been fired very fiercely, and this matter is being talked about on the car radio.

It was still Miss Liu who drove and sent Lin Nan to the airport.

"How can there be such a thing, do good deeds and make enemies?" Liu Yifei was very puzzled.

"Vanity is a thing that harms others and oneself."

Lin Nan explained, thought of something again, and said to Liu Yifei:

"Sissi, if you want to participate in public welfare activities, you must remember to do what you promised."

"I'm sure I'll do what I say, and you doubt my character?"

Saying that, Liu Yifei glared at Lin Nan.

"Of course I believe you, just to remind you, sometimes the organizers will cheat people."

Lin Nan remembered some examples, the organizer just wanted the actor's fame to take the lead, let her shout a price, and they would make up for it later, but they didn't make it up, and after being exposed, it really ruined her character.

Liu Yifei, who was holding the steering wheel, looked very sassy, the sun was shining on her face, and Lin Nan looked a little stupid.

"I've made several movies, and I missed you, will I be angry?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, you promised me a long time ago, but you haven't done it, you owe me more and more movies, think about how to compensate me in the future."

didn't look at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei looked at the road conditions and said casually, with a hint of banter in her tone.

"Well, I will compensate you, and I will compensate you as well......"

Lin Nan said softly.

The car was parked on the edge of the airport, and the door was not opened for a long time.

"I'll hold it a little longer." The girl said.

"It's not life and death, it's so sensational. Eh...... Hey, I'm not going to say anything, you spread your hands......"

Lin Nan rubbed the meat on his waist and sighed.

……

Lin Nan boarded the plane, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days, and was a little helpless.

also thought that Hu Jun filmed "The Martian", and he should be able to avoid "Red Cliff", but he went around and around, and still entered the list of actors over there, just swaying between Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

That's right, Orange Sky finally got some investment share, Wang Jinghua can't seize the opportunity.

Before Lin Nan boarded the plane, Xijie's "New World" had just been released in South Korea for a few hours.

Lin Nan was informed of this and invited him to the premiere, but the time to return to China was already tight, and he didn't want to delay the trip, so he refused.

According to Xijie's arrangement, after the release of South Korea for a period of time, it will be promoted to other regions, with a focus on North America.

Lin Nan just waited for the account to be divided, and didn't need to care about anything else.

Before preparing to leave, he explained one thing to Yue Jun, that is, to take the new movie script to be submitted for review, which is also the scene that Lin Nan will start filming next year.

After more than ten hours on the plane, after Lin Nan landed, the first thing he said when he got into Tom's new car was to ask him about the movie information in South Korea.

"Lin, I was paying attention to your text message the first time I saw it, and the first day of that "New World" was really good."

"How much?"

"I've heard that more than 830,000 spectators have been mobilized, which is a rare achievement in South Korea."

Lin Nan is not used to this description of how many people are used to describe box office results, but South Korea and island countries are in this model, unifying film pricing and directly counting the number of heads, which is only possible in countries with few land and sparse population.

"You've earned it again, one percent of the box office revenue." Tom said enviously.

Lin Nan just smiled and didn't speak.

"But there is bad news, the "Golden Armor" we talked about last time had a bad box office, and it was not ......as good as the previous "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" at all."

"What's the situation?" Lin Nan asked.

"More than 1,200 theaters are opened, but the attendance rate is very low, and the assessment given by professional institutions says that its box office in North America may only be about five or six million dollars."

Hearing this, Lin Nan also understood, this customized film that Zhang Yimou gave to foreign countries was an ironclad game.

Back at Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan checked the work progress of the past two days, including the new line, which was normal.

At present, it has been a few minutes since the special effects picture came out, which looks good, but it still needs to be carved again, and the efficiency behind it will be a little faster.

The news of the North American box office failure of "Golden Armor" quickly spread back to China.

Some things are really amazing, it turns out that Hollywood film critics and media people are also against ordinary audiences.

The Hollywood press used every conceivable word of praise, epic works, grand drama spectacles, ancient Greek tragedy and solemnity......

But at the box office, it is still lifeless and motionless.

The box office of the domestic "Golden Armor" is still surging, but it seems that the word-of-mouth is a little uncontrollable.

The crew of "Wounded City" is still scolding Zhang Weiping in the air, I heard that the latter signed an overlord clause with some theaters, and can only screen "Golden Armor".

Lin Nanren is still in Hollywood, but there is news about him in China.

In view of the particularly conspicuous performance of "New World" in South Korea, and the domestic media also reported it, the news that the script was written by Lin Nan spread all over the circle.

Especially Ying Huang, he told the media that Lin Nan can take this kind of film to Hong Kong Island to shoot.

"Lin, Berlin's invitation is here again."

Tom walked in with an official letter.

"Didn't you send it to me all once?"

"Last time it was an invitation from Paul Schrader as president of the jury, this time it was officially given to you, in any case you have the label of Berlin on you, you made a name for yourself there......"

Tom's words, Lin Nan didn't refute, but the guests didn't just show their faces, they had to stay for a few days, where was he willing to do this.

"Why don't you think of a way to get a work out these days?"

Tom asked tentatively.

Lin Nan listened to this very unpleasantly, and making a movie is not a VCR.

"You're just going to kill me, and I can't make a movie in this time."

Lin Nan said angrily.

"Haha, what are you doing? Then you have to find a cemetery to bury you, and you have to spend money......"

Tom also felt that it was impossible, so he made a joke, but he found that Lin Nan was staring straight at him.

"Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"You just said you buried it?" Lin Nan asked with some excitement.

"Ah, yes, I'm kidding......" Tom hurriedly explained.

"Haha, this joke is good, it's good, it reminds me."

While speaking, Lin Nan strode up the stairs and shouted, "I'm going to write the script, don't disturb me." ”

…………

Lin Nan was very grateful to Tom for that joke, otherwise how would he have thought of this movie.

A movie that can be made with a starring actor and a coffin, the key is that the plot is simple, just shoot it with the male lead, half a month is about the same, at most a month to get it, and the original time only took 16 days.

The script "Buried Alive".

I just hope that two years in advance, the male protagonist is not too bad, but it should be no problem to come to a professional actor.

Lin Nan wanted to find actors from China at this time, but it was too late, so he could only take local materials and make them into foreign language films.

"It's a pity."

……

"Lin, aren't you looking for a famous actor, although this person has made some films, he is not a big name, all small roles and supporting roles, even if his acting skills are good"

"Go to the guild and ask if he has a schedule, I only need him for a month at most."

Lin Nan remembers that this guy is really good.

Seeing that Lin Nan was so determined, Tom didn't say anything, "Okay, I'll ask." ”

took out the phone, Lin Nan called Wen Ziren, "James, are you free lately?" I'm going to make a movie and I need your advice......"

The horror film director should be more experienced and thoughtful about the emotional changes in the actors.

This is also the reason why Lin Nan wants Wen Ziren to help him.

In addition, Lin Nan needs to change the shooting technique, which is also the only shortcoming of the original drama.

Wen drove to Crystal Pictures.

"Recently, I've been helping polish a new script, and your phone call interrupted my train of thought, Lin Nan."

As soon as he came up, Wen Ziren complained.

"I'm sorry, but I have a good script here, do you want to read it?"

As he spoke, Lin Nan pushed the laptop towards Wen Ziren.

Two hours later, Wen pushed the computer in front of him.

"I'm really convinced of you, I can always think of these interesting scripts."

"With your experience as a horror film director, help me figure out which of these expressions in my script will be better?"

Lin Nan ignored Wen Ziren's compliment and asked.

"Lin, in fact, you made a cognitive mistake, every director has his own style, and if you listen to my advice, the film will be biased towards a thriller atmosphere.

And if you take it to the film festival, then you should follow your ideas, and the focus should be biased towards self-help, biased towards self-help in the race against time, a person's instinctive yearning for life forces him to do everything he can, and he can't do anything if he wants to live......"

Lin Nan patted his head, and the authorities were confused.

"Your words are the greatest help to me."

"Haha, you're welcome."

……

At Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan met the person Tom had found.

"Hello, I'm Lin Nan."

"Hello, Director."

"This movie is almost a one-man show, and the requirements for the actors are very high, you can read the script first......"

Lin Nan handed the script and his own shooting plan of more than a dozen pages to the other party.

Ryan Reynolds takes it very seriously, although he has been in the film industry for 16 years, he is still only a third-rate actor in Hollywood.

And the oriental director in front of him is a best silver bear director, maybe this is an opportunity.

The room was silent, save for the sound of the script turning pages and exclamations.

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of play, director, and I might need to take some time to get into the groove."

Ryan Reynolds said with a blank look.

Lin Nan smiled, "Of course it's no problem, the crew will even prepare a rescue team for you, including a psychiatrist, to deal with accidents during filming at any time, as well as to avoid your mental problems and mental depression." ”

After that, Lin Nan didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and added, "If you can play this role well, then this movie will premiere in Berlin in February next year, and Chairman Paul Schrader has invited me twice." ”

"This is a play for the film festival?"

The other party's eyes widened and he asked.

"Yes."

"No problem director, I can play this role well, please believe me."

Ryan Reynolds said eagerly, he didn't expect that God really gave him a chance to shoot a medal film.

According to the unspoken rules, directors who have won awards at the three major European film festivals have a high probability of being shortlisted if they participate in the competition again.

"Okay, time is limited, you have to familiarize yourself with the script as soon as possible, get into the state, and we can turn on at any time."
