Lin Nan chose to deal with it in a low-key manner, this kind of thing should not be messed up.

It stands to reason that after the showdown between Liu Xiaoli and Wang Zhonglei, this matter is equivalent to an end.

But Wang Zhonglei and Hua Yi may not give up, and after the movie is released, it is very likely that they will use some crooked and evil means.

If you don't get it, you will destroy it.

Lin Nan's phone call is very necessary.

Because on the bright side, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei do not have too deep backgrounds in the industry.

is so popular now, all thanks to the support of Miss Xiao Liu's fans.

After this phone call, at least Wang Zhonglei will know that Liu Yifei has Lin Nan behind him.

In American time, on New Year's Day, "Buried Alive" was finely cut.

Shoot fast, cut fast, because you don't need to cut too much stuff and content at all.

It's just a few employees in the post-editing stage, and their spirits are a little depressed after watching the film.

Tom rambled on about the latest Hollywood news.

Leonardo's "Infernal Affairs" is in the running for the Golden Globes, and with "Bloody Diamonds," he could have two films shortlisted for the Oscars.

"Tom, now I know why you were so keen to let me start a company in the first place."

"Why?" Tom asked, unresponsive for a moment.

"Look at you, eight out of ten days are at banquets and parties."

Lin Nan complained.

Crystal Pictures participated in the production of "Happy Death Day".

Although it was Wen Tsairen who stood in front of the stage, Tom, the general manager of Crystal Pictures, also became a bit famous and frequently received banquet invitations.

"Haha, Lin, I am naturally suitable for this kind of social situation, I will be a qualified agent."

Tom is not modest at all.

Lin Nan's job is to be a director, and he really needs a professional manager like Tom to help manage the company.

"Well, it's really part of your job."

"I heard that this "Infernal Affairs" is still an adaptation of your movie?

Leon and Matt are really cool in it, and I hope Leon can win the award, which is the bellwether of the Oscars. ”

Tom said to himself, but Lin Nan didn't answer.

It was so interesting that he heard Matt Damon's name.

The news that Ryan Reynolds had made a movie in a coffin spread on a small scale.

There are a lot of novel movies in Hollywood, but there are really no such films that are filmed in a coffin almost all the time.

"Ryan, are you sure the director didn't lie to you?"

"Of course not, he won the Silver Bear for Directors in Berlin, and this film is indeed going to participate."

These days, there are a lot of friends who ask this question, and there are a lot of envy, and Ryan Reynolds enjoys this feeling, that is, sometimes when he is alone, he unconsciously feels panic and nervousness, and the psychiatrist says that he still needs to recover for a while.

Lin Nan packed the copy of "Buried Alive" and mailed it out according to the official channels required by the film festival.

still remembers that when he signed up for "Hidden in the Dust", he still asked Li Yang to help.

Now, Lin Nan himself is the Silver Bear director who has left a name in Berlin, and he no longer needs the help of others, maybe someone will want him to help recommend movies to participate in the competition in the future.

Lin Nan sent the movie, which was already relatively late in time.

Most of the entries were sent in December at the latest, to give the jury time to consider.

For this reason, Lin Nan specially called Paul Schrader, who promised to pay attention to the inspection, and also thanked Lin Nan for being invited to participate in this film festival.

Listening to the news that Tom brought back, "Golden Armor" was drawn in advance by North American theaters, because the box office was really bad, and the companies that released it were all resigned.

On the contrary, "New World" has received rave reviews and a good box office.

"How much box office does "Golden Armor" have?"

"The North American region adds up to just over 6 million, so I'm really sorry for those companies that bought the rights in advance."

When he said this last sentence, Tom didn't see any sadness, but gloated a little.

Lin Nan also paid attention to the box office of "Golden Armor".

The domestic box office broke through 200 million at the fastest speed in December, surpassing "Time and Space Cruise", and the box office growth slowed down amid the scolding.

After more than 20 days of release, it has now reached 270 million, and it is now running towards the 300 million mark.

But Lin Nan knows that losing money is inevitable, and the cost of 360 million is where the domestic volume is placed, and there is an upper limit.

Planning to go to sea to earn a beautiful knife, who would have thought that suddenly the water and soil would not be adapted.

Lin Nan remembered the box office data sent by Lionsgate, and the box office of "Happy Death Day" was finally fixed at more than 77 million.

"There is no comparison between the two. Even if "Golden Armor" loses, it will play a positive role in the development of the industry. Lin Nan thought in his heart.

On the other side, Lin Nan really felt that Feng Xiaogang was a chicken thief.

He invited Hu Jun to make a cameo appearance in "Assembly Number", and when the media reported it, it rubbed Lin Nan's popularity.

This is a very realistic thing.

Hu Jun just finished filming "The Martian", and the topic was so high that Hua Yi let go of his grudge with Wang Jinghua and invited him to make a cameo.

In January, the Hollywood Golden Globes were only North American awards, and most filmmakers with dreams were still eyeing Berlin.

Unlike Hollywood, where film festivals summarize the past year, the big three in Europe require that the films must be unreleased or premiered at the Berlinale.

On this day, Lin Nan was on the new line, and Tom's phone called, saying that a friend of Lin Nan was looking for him.

When Lin Nan returned to Crystal Pictures, he was very excited.

Because the person who came was Li Yang.

"Brother Li Yang, long time no see."

"yes, it's been almost two years."

Li Yang looked a little tired, but kept smiling.

"Let's go to the reception room on the third floor and say." Lin Nan said enthusiastically.

"yes, okay."

Lin Nan had a hunch, it must be a serious matter, otherwise just send an email, and you don't have to find it in person.

"I heard that you have cooperated with Lionsgate in China, and you have been watching the late stage of the movie here for the past two months, so I came over directly."

Sitting in the reception room, Li Yang said with coffee.

"Brother Li, it seems that your time has come, right?"

"Yes, the ban period has only been around for a few months." Li Yang paused for a moment and said.

"Brother Li, just say something, we are not outsiders."

Lin Nan's first pot of gold was won by Li Yang for him, and the only actor award also came from "Blind Well".

When he changed careers to become a director, Li Yang also had encouragement.

Putting down the coffee, Li Yang looked at Lin Nan, and then opened his mouth.

"The reason why I came here today in person is to ask for your help."

Li Yang adjusted his thoughts.

"Before the ban period arrived, I made a book, and also pulled the investment, ready to start filming as soon as the ban period arrived, and the first few months were ready to start, but the investor suddenly withdrew his investment......"

Li Yang said, sighing.

"I originally wanted to mortgage the house, but then I heard from others that you are also investing in movies and television, especially some time ago I invested 10 million in a professor in your school to make a movie, so I thought about asking you to help......"

Lin Nan felt sad when Li Yang said this.

Recalling that when he filmed "Blind Well" in 02 and when he received the award in Berlin and the Golden Horse, Li Yang was full of spirit at that time and was much more energetic than now.

"These are all small things, how much money does Brother Li need?"

Lin Nan asked with a smile.

Most of the movies made by Li Yang are unpopular and niche realistic themes, and he has been banned for three years, and it is estimated that he has not saved much money.

Li Yang did not answer how much, but introduced his film.

"This is a movie about a female college student, who was abducted and trafficked, and was rescued after many years."

Speaking of which, Lin Nan has the impression that there seems to be a movie like this.

"I named it 'Blind Mountain.'"

When he said the name of the movie, Li Yang was smiling, as if he was talking about ideals.

Lin Nan admires Li Yang very much, some movies are very meaningful when they are made, especially this kind of abduction.

"How much is it, I'll let the domestic company prepare it."

"Almost 4.5 million is enough, and the shooting location I chose is my hometown......"

Understood, Qin Ling.

"Then five million, I believe that Brother Li's strength will definitely be a better movie than "Blind Well"."

"Thank you, Lin Nan. Think about it, at the beginning, you invested in "Blind Well", and now, I come to you to invest in "Blind Mountain", and I have been getting more and more mixed up over the years. ”

"It's been so long."

From the fact that Li Yang didn't make a phone call, but came to talk about it face-to-face in person, Lin Nan could see his simplicity.

"If you have something to do in the future, let's call, it's more troublesome to run." Lin Nan said.

"It's not troublesome, it's just done."

"After returning to China, Brother Li will call this directly, and I will tell the company."

Lin Nan gave Yue Jun's phone number to Li Yang.

"Well, okay, I got it."

……

Li Yang didn't stay long, so he rushed to the nearest plane and left.

"Lin, he's also a director?" Tom asked.

"Yes, his films have been shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award, and finally won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Art, which is the first guide on my road to directing."

Lin Nan said very seriously.

……

Many employees in the company were discussing something, Lin Nan listened carefully, and it turned out that Xiao Lizi was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

Lin Nan met Cheng Long on the new line, "Rush Hour 3" has been filmed for a few months, and it is being completed recently.

Cheng Long's next movie is "The King of Kung Fu".

"Director Lin Nan, I have just recently established a new film company in the mainland, and we have the opportunity to cooperate."

Cheng Long laughed, and the iconic big nose stood out.

"Haha, big brother is too expensive, I can't afford it."

"Or I asked you to help me make a film." Cheng Long laughed.

"It has to be a good enough script to attract me, and I don't usually take on outside plays."

"It seems to be true, but I still look forward to cooperating with you once, Andy can bargain or bring money, and I can too."

Jaycee didn't choose your movie last time, so I'm sorry afterwards......"

Cheng Long put his arm on Lin Nan's shoulders and laughed, like a friend who hadn't seen him for a long time, and his assistant helped the two take a group photo.

Again, personal issues aside, Cheng Long is indeed a superstar and deserves respect.

"Director Lin Nan, if you have the opportunity to remember to cooperate in the future, I will go back to the crew first, see you ......"

Lin Nan smiled helplessly and waved his hand, watching Cheng Long walk away surrounded by a group of people.

This status in Hollywood is also unique among the Chinese.
