Chapter 214: Invitation, Promise
Surprises often come inadvertently.
Lin Nan saw an unexpected resume.
"You are writing here that you love movies and want to be a director, but why do you want to major in management?"
"It's true that I want to be a director.
But Nortel's graduate students in the directing department are notoriously difficult to get into, so, haha......"
"So you chose a roundabout tactic?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"Director Lin is right, I think so." The interviewer admitted with a smile.
"You reminded me of Huang Bo.
At the beginning, he was quite circuitous, and after being brushed off by the acting department, he went directly to the dubbing professional higher vocational class. ”
Just when Lin Nan was about to score and ask him to go to the interview for the professional class, the other party suddenly spoke.
"Director Lin, can I ask you a question?"
Not only Lin Nan was stunned, but several associate professors on the side were also a little confused, this was the first rhetorical question today.
"You said."
"The Martian, when you were filming it, was there any pressure? Ever thought about failure? What to do if you fail? ”
As soon as the other party's voice fell, a few teachers on the side laughed, "Lin Nan, the problem is here, it's up to you, hehe." ”
Lin Nan instantly became more interested.
"Pressure? Absolutely. I made this movie with humiliation behind my back, including the act of going to Hollywood to do special effects, and I was also very aggrieved......"
Lin Nan's words, others listened a little confused, but they were also listening carefully.
"As for failure, I must have wondered, what director can say that he has never lost money?
Just earn it back. Be thick-skinned and stand up to ridicule, haha......"
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he felt a little numb.
I saw a few associate professors on the side nodding their heads and looking at him with a look of relief, looking terrifying.
Lin Nan didn't care about the reactions of several people, but took out a note, wrote his phone number, and handed it to the retester.
"You can consider signing with me after you graduate.
Or, graduate students can follow me when they are still in the middle of their studies and can join my crew. ”
Lin Nan used the word "mixed" to enliven the atmosphere.
Several associate professors and teachers were shocked, and Lin Nan actually sent an invitation to a student.
"Director Lin, I, can I think about it?"
"Yes."
After the others left, several teachers curiously gathered around.
"Lin Nan, are you serious? Although he taught himself a lot, you don't want to sign him, do you? ”
"Didn't the teachers hear that just now?
Others have a solid theory, and only for the sake of insurance, they chose the management department.
And I really like and want to be a director, and I have my own directorial thinking, this kind of person is very easy to cultivate, just give resources......"
Just give resources in one sentence, so that a few teachers are speechless in an instant.
At the end of the graduate re-examination that day, Lin Nan sent an invitation to a student, and it spread in Nortel.
When Tian Zhuangzhuang heard this, he was quite curious.
"Our professional?"
"No, it's from the Department of Management, and I heard that several professors have decided to admit him." Old Jiang replied.
"Oh? What is your name? ”
"It seems to be called Guo Wan."
"Well, I still believe in his vision."
Tian Xiangxiang smiled, Lin Nan was the best student in his hands.
——
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, China Film announced the list of confirmed imported films.
One of the most conspicuous is Inception.
Led by Leonardo, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and other casts, plus a billion-dollar director, Christopher Nolan.
This main creative lineup is extremely luxurious.
The media is going crazy, it's really set!
The actresses who auditioned last year seemed to have been torn open and wounds that were about to heal, and their hearts ached.
This kind of news has the most obvious effect on the blessing of actresses.
Within one day, Liu Xiaoli received 26 new brand endorsement contracts.
However, in the end, there are definitely no more than three left, and it is possible to refuse even all of them.
Liu Xiaoli's personality is extremely tacit with the team in picking endorsements.
From the very beginning, the high-end and boutique route has been set, and it will not be changed in the future, but will only be more stringent.
Lin Nan received a call from Lao Jiang.
The submission of the graduation project starts in early April, and the defense will begin in the middle and late April.
"Let me remind you that your graduation work, probably all the professors, will come to watch it."
"Rubbing movies?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Haha, that can be understood as well.
After all, you're different from other graduates, haven't you already promised to go to Venice? ”
"After everything is done, can you still brainstorm and fill in the gaps?"
Lin Nan understands the school's kindness.
But he felt that the finished "Hunting" was just right, very complete, and did not need any unnecessary changes.
"Excellent students always get more care, and it's all kindness." Old Jiang explained.
"Well, I understand. I'll submit it on time. ”
……
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" has started with a high profile.
This is by far the largest of all the film conferences in China.
Nearly 200 star artists participated in the starring, and several big directors collaborated to direct and make cameos.
The word tribute film suddenly became popular.
For a time, many such films were urgently approved.
Lin Nan heard that many old people who couldn't get investment before asked for funds from above in the name of making a gift film.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that "The Sound of the Wind" is also quite appropriate, and it can be summarized into the category of gift films.
According to the contract, Lin Nan Film and Television's investment in this film accounts for half, and a producer will be stationed on site.
Yue Jun was already arranging this matter.
Liu Yifei received a movie invitation, "Mulan", domestic.
is worthy of being a director of "Sword Butterfly", very bloody.
"Sword Butterfly" is a pompous martial arts dressed in the coat of Liang Zhu, and this is a romance film dressed in Mulan.
There is almost no plot of serving in the army for his father, and all the plots are paving the way for the relationship between men and women.
"Push it, look at what Hu Ge was scolded for "Sword Butterfly".
Nine percent of the historical themes filmed by the director on Hong Kong Island are rotten, and he just wants to borrow your fame. ”
After Lin Nan analyzed Liu Yifei, Liu's mother went to refuse there.
After two days, I heard that Zhao Yanzi took over the role and played it with Chen Kun.
After more than half a month of release, the box office of "Racing" has reached 145 million.
The cost of 10 million is very exaggerated to get this box office. Ning Hao has secured the position of a great director of commercial films.
"Red envelopes, red envelopes, hurry up and prepare red envelopes......"
Ning Haoqun sent a text message, this guy became a father, and Xing Aina gave birth to a son.
When Lin Nan went to visit their house, he squeezed in.
Those who don't know each other come to visit and send favors.
"When you get married, the people who post it will only be more and more enthusiastic."
Ning Hao patted Lin Nan and said with a smile, very transparent.
——
Berlin Film Festival, closing ceremony in the afternoon.
Some domestic media followed up and reported on the scene.
Many people in the film industry are concerned about this matter, including Han Sanping.
If Chen Kaige can get the Golden Bear, when he returns to China to join the crew of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", Han Sanping can even hold a small celebration banquet for him.
Many people stay up late to pay attention to the live broadcast of pictures and texts on the Internet.
The more I waited, the more I felt that something was wrong.
On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, the main creators of "Mei Lanfang", especially Chen Hong and Zhang Ziyi, were competing for beauty.
Why is the red carpet of the closing ceremony coming to an end, and the crew of "Mei Lanfang" is still missing.
A lot of people have a bad premonition.
Sure enough, until the end, I didn't see Chen Kaige and others walking on the red carpet.
Even in the middle of the night, the Internet is still bustling.
"I'm afraid I didn't receive the notification of the legendary 'unspoken rules', right?"
"If you don't have enough gas, you don't have any grace!"
"Regardless of whether there is an award or not, the behavior of not participating in the award ceremony seems to be very rude to Chen Kaige."
"Director Chen's belly, as his ex-wife said, can't even fit a 'steamed bun'......"
……
The next day, Lin Nan saw that the Internet was full of ridicule of Chen Kaige.
The most scolded was not that he had said too much in the early stage and didn't get the award, but that he refused to attend the award ceremony after knowing that there was no award.
"Director Chen still cares a lot about face and dignity, and he is probably afraid of being blocked by reporters and asking some questions that hurt his self-esteem, haha."
Lin Nan explained to Liu Yifei.
Among so many big and famous directors in China, Chen Kaige cares about face the most, no matter when, he will hold it.
The Berlinale has officially come to an end, and the Cannes Selection Committee has begun to search for suitable candidates around the world.
I don't know who recommended Lin Nan, but someone really contacted him over there.
In the end, I can only say that I regret it, after all, I have promised Li An.
It has been more than two months since I finished filming "Hunting" and came back from Hollywood.
After waiting so long, Tom finally got the news.
"Lin, the machines and equipment we have selected have been sent, you have to pay attention to sign for them in time. With the addition of an insurance policy. ”
"yes, I know."
After spending so much money, Lin Nan will definitely be careful.
The profits of "New Moon" were basically spent on this first batch of equipment and machines.
It's still in its infancy, and I don't know when I'll reach Warner's level.
Previously, Luyang invested 2.6 million.
Recently, he contacted Lin Nan, and "Blind Cinema" has found all the actors.
"In addition to Mr. Wang Jinsong, I also found Mr. Jin Shijie, and the ...... of the 2000-level higher vocational class."
Lu Yang was on the phone, telling Lin Nan, the producer, about his casting.
"Director Lin, I'm going to turn on the machine in the next two days.
Thinking about getting to the film festival when the time comes, do you have any better suggestions? ”
The best way for newcomers is the film festival. But domestic? I can only hehe.
"Why don't you go to the Busan Film Festival?"
Although Lin Nan doesn't like sticks very much, he has to admit that Busan has been really friendly to newcomers in the past two years.
As long as it is a good quality movie, especially a foreign film, you can get something out there.
"Busan Film Festival?
I remembered that Director Lin's original "New World" won the award there. ”
"Yes, I didn't go." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Then listen to Director Lin. I'm going to make this movie well, and hopefully I'll get something out of it when the time comes......"
Lin Nan thought for a while and said, "Good luck."
If you can make something this time, I can ask you to make a movie. I can also choose the script here. ”
There was a stunned pause on the other side of the phone, and there was a loud laugh.
"Haha, it's a deal!
Director Lin's script is well-known in the industry, and I won't be polite. ”
"You're welcome, my promise is here. Whether you can let me cash in depends on the road guide. ”
The cake painted by Lin Nan is obviously confident that Lu Yang can eat it.
"Director Lin, take a look. Anyway, I am also a graduate student from Nortel's directing department, and I still have this confidence. ”
……
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Lin Nan hung up the phone.
The theme of "Cinema for the Blind" should be no problem in Busan.
Jin Shijie and Wang Jinsong are enough.
