Zhang Yimou's status in the international film industry is beyond doubt.

Even though he was busy with the Olympics, Venice chose to invite him to be the president of the competition.

This is a position that can determine the final ownership of the Golden Lion Award.

Looking at all the directors in China, Lin Nan estimates that only Zhang Yimou has this status.

On the other hand, the Magic City International Film Festival is about to open.

Since he agreed to be a guest on the film, Lin Nan also notified Yue Jun by the way to produce promotional materials for "Painted Skin".

Such a good publicity opportunity was inspired by Feng Xiaogang when he went to promote "Night Banquet".

"Spider-Man 3" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" carved up the domestic market in May.

Unexpectedly, as soon as June began, it was another "Soul Chariot".

As soon as Lin Nan got off the plane, he heard the news, and many production companies complained to the General Administration.

However, during this time, most students are in the middle and college entrance examination stages, which is the main viewing group of "Soul Chariot".

But even at this unfavorable time, its opening weekend box office still came to 10 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean in the middle of the month again!"

Lin Nan understands the mood of those production companies more and more, this is obviously a dead end.

Back at Nortel, it's graduation season again.

Many graduates wearing bachelor's uniforms cast their eyes on Lin Nan.

"Shall we ask Senior Lin Nan if we can sign in to his company?"

It's not just some graduates who are waiting to sell this way, but many juniors and sophomores also have this idea.

"I guess it won't work, the big director prefers the Chinese opera side, we ......"

I don't know who said it, and it suddenly became the target of everyone.

Lin Nan returned to school, mainly to see Cao Baoping.

"Li Mi's Conjecture", the publicity has to be done, isn't there a magic capital film festival in front of you.

Cao Baoping took the course of film and television screenwriting, which is a big course.

As soon as he came out of the classroom, he saw Lin Nan and was a little surprised, "Why do you have time to come to school today?" ”

The students who came out one after another, more than one major, Lin Nan saw Jiao Junyan and Zhang Xiaofei, these were all art exams that he shouted to participate in.

"Director Lin is good."

……

Lin Nan nodded in response one by one.

"Mr. Cao, the Magic Capital Film Festival is about to open, do you want to take "Li Mi's Conjecture" to promote it?"

"Oops!"

Cao Baoping patted his head, "I just said that I seemed to have forgotten something important, and I was still thinking about it in class." ”

"Go, definitely go. Although the later stage has not been completed, it does not prevent the first publicity, haha. ”

The two of them talked, and then went to the office area.

"The people in your company have recently transferred several colleges of digital, animation, sound, and art over and over again, and they are recruiting people again?"

A school leader saw Lin Nan and asked with a smile.

"If you have this idea, let's take a look first."

Lin Nan replied.

Yue Jun is not only wandering around Nortel, but some engineering schools are also moving around.

After evaluating the publicity with Cao Bao, Lin Nan went to the directing department.

It's been a blockbuster year.

From "Lust and Caution", which has received an invitation from Venice, to "Red Cliff", which is constantly in turmoil, to "The King of Kung Fu", which is being filmed, and "Painted Skin", which Lin Nan has just finished, can be said to be a gathering of famous directors.

"Lin Nan, you are really low-key this time, and you haven't even put a reporter into the crew."

Lao Jiang didn't know when he started, he couldn't do without the thermos cup, and when he saw Lin Nan, he teased.

"It's better to keep a low profile, and leave the news to "Red Cliff"."

"Haha, if you spread this, it will be a big accident."

"If you're looking for Director Tian, I'm afraid you'll have to wait, and you're meeting guests." Lao Jiang added.

"Who?"

As soon as Lin Nan asked, he saw Lao Jiang smile, "Your uncle." ”

This made Lin Nan even more curious.

After chatting with Lao Jiang for a while, he saw the door of the Tian-shaped office open.

At this moment, Lin Nan reacted, it turned out to be a cousin of Tian Xiangxing.

"Teacher, Teacher Li."

"Director Lin Nan."

The person in front of him is a very kind old actor, Li Xuejian.

is also Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was shortlisted for the Magic Capital International Film Festival, and the supporting actor in that film.

Li Xuejian laughed a few words and left.

"Teacher, congratulations on your "Wu Qingyuan" being shortlisted, how can you say that this is also an international A-class film festival."

"Yes, the last time I was shortlisted for a film festival award was fifteen years ago......"

Tian Xiangzhuang's words came out, giving Lin Nan a sad feeling, and Lao Jiang was silent on the side in an instant.

can only say that the matter of "forbidden director" is too lethal to the director.

——

"The King of Kung Fu" was in full swing from the beginning. But so far, the styling of the main actors has not been leaked.

In anticipation, "The King of Kung Fu" held its first press conference in Hengdian.

Lin Nan watched the live broadcast on the portal.

Liu Yifei is like a delicate little fairy.

Cheng Long gave a compliment in an interview.

"Her fist and foot skills are quite tough, much more 'real' than the 'Little Dragon Girl's flower fist embroidered legs'.

When filming, the director asked her to jump and jump, and let her get on the horse, regardless of whether it was dangerous or not......"

Immediately afterwards, director Rob Minkoff also gave an affirmation.

This surprised Li Bingbing, who was also present, that these words of Cheng Long and the director were not in the content that was said in advance.

But thinking of what Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei said to her, she understood in an instant.

Behind her is Hua Yi, this little girl also has Lin Nan, and the people of Lionsgate have a better relationship with Lin Nan.

After thinking about this, Li Bingbing instantly smiled and talked about Liu Yifei's hard work and excellent ...... during the filming

Tang Ren's call reached Lin Nan's side.

They wanted to hold a big media conference for Hugo in the capital, which was a kind of official meeting with the public after the car accident.

Lin Nan is the director of "Painted Skin", and Cai Yinong wants to invite him to the scene.

"I didn't have to do this, but Mr. Cai felt it was necessary."

Hu Ge also called Lin Nan specifically to explain.

It seems that for this media conference, "Shooting the Condor", which has just been restarted, has been suspended again.

"When?" Lin Nan asked, if it is appropriate, it is not impossible to show up.

"Number 22, but I think you won't be able to come, haha."

Hu Ge did his homework, and at this time, Lin Nan really couldn't come, because it was the two days when the Modu Film Festival presented the awards.

"You said that you are a Modu person, and the Tang people are also a Modu company, so you came to the capital to have a meeting?" Lin Nan said angrily.

"Soul Chariot" was released for twelve days, and the box office rushed to 25 million, and it was finally cut off.

But a number of domestic movies are even more like mourning.

Because what trampled "Soul Chariot" under his feet was another imported blockbuster: "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Many film companies began to retreat and apply for their films to be postponed, at least until September.

In their opinion, there is still a bit of competition with domestic films, and there is no direct scum left when encountering imported blockbusters.

The day before the opening of the film festival, Lin Nan arrived in the magic capital.

A very piercing piece of news spread.

Li Baotian and the lawsuit of the spring of the era were sentenced.

Li Baotian did not win, but was deducted from the reputation of "drama bully".

Although the industry supports Li Baotian, as soon as this reputation comes out, many film and television companies will hesitate when they want to use him in the future.

There is a high probability that in order to avoid trouble, it will not be considered directly.

Things have developed to this point, and the damage to Li Baotian should be the greatest, and the phrase "drama bully" is still derogatory at this time.

Lin Nan could only think that when he had a suitable role in the future, he would go to Li Baotian to cooperate.

When filming "Introducing Dust and Smoke", the other party left a deep impression on him.

The next morning, there were more giant posters of "Painted Skin" in the film exhibition area.

Mainly gray and cool tones. This was specially filmed by the crew at that time, just for the later publicity.

Zhou Xun in a Han style dress was in the middle, and next to him was Huang Xiaoming in iron armor.

The two are Jiao Enjun, Mei Ting, Shu Zhan and Hu Ge in order......

"Painted Skin?"

A large number of media came around, you must know that Lin Nan refused all media visits during the filming of "Painted Skin".

In less than an hour, the news that the stills of "Painted Skin" appeared at the Magic Capital Film Festival spread all over the major portals.

And quickly squeezed into the headlines.

The vixen with elegant makeup and cold temperament is the first time I've seen it.

The background of the slaughter, coupled with the cold stills of the actors with makeup, attracted the attention of most people at the scene for a while.

At this time, Lin Nan was chatting with Zhou Xun in the hotel lobby.

He didn't expect Zhou Xun to come over.

""Painted Skin" and "Li Mi's Conjecture", the propaganda posters are hanging outside, don't be surrounded by reporters when you go out."

"You and Director Cao didn't tell me, otherwise I would have been ready to prepare and take the initiative to publicize it."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes and said.

Lin Nan noticed that Huayi had a large number of artists, including Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" crew.

Think about it, Feng Xiaogang is a veteran, how could he let go of this kind of good opportunity for movie promotion.

"Director Lin."

Lin Nan and Zhou Xun were talking, when they saw Wang Zhonglei greeting with a smile from afar, and there was a girl by his side.

He noticed that Zhou Xun was impatient for a moment, and he should hate the woman very much.

"Mr. Wang."

"Director Lin, let me introduce you, this is Huayi's artist, Huo Siyan."

Saying that, Wang Zhonglei let the woman in front of him.

"Hello Director Lin, I'm Huo Siyan, your "Buried Alive" is really wonderful......"

Huo Siyan's courteous smile made Lin Nan a little unaccustomed.

"Director Lin, are you walking alone on the red carpet? Do you want Si Yan to be your female companion? ”

Wang Zhonglei said confidently that he had watched the red carpet arrangement, and Lin Nan was alone.

"Haha, it's unfortunate, Mr. Wang. I just invited Sister Xun, and she agreed, and we just happened to represent the crew of "Painted Skin". ”

Lin Nan said and looked at Zhou Xun.

"Yes, I just agreed to Director Lin about this."

"That's a pity, but it's better this way, after all, you are a crew, and it's convenient to publicize, haha......"

Wang Zhonglei led Huo Siyan away.

Lin Nancai asked, "It seems that Sister Xun hates that Huo Siyan very much?" ”

I only heard Zhou Xun sneer and said: "It's not a person all the way, others are the best at accompanying wine, hehe." ”

"Got it."

Lin Nan instantly understood.
