Chapter 220: Defense, Industrialization of Film
The thing in "Nanjing" is like it didn't happen.
Lu Chuan kept a low profile and no longer showed up to promote.
But from time to time, several articles appear on the Internet to "interpret" this movie, all of which are praised.
"Truly restore the pain of history."
"The ...... of Good and Evil in Human Nature"
"The cruelty of war makes us cherish the ...... of peace"
"The leading actor reveals his true feelings and interprets the dark and tragic years......"
There are a lot of articles, all for the audience.
But there is no manuscript that raises the issue of positions in the film.
It's scary.
If it is filmed by a foreign director, this idea of choosing to forget and reconcile can make sense.
But the domestic self-shooting made many people in the industry feel on fire.
——
Lin Nanren sits at home, and troubles can be found on his head.
In these two days, the Hong Kong Island International Film Festival is being held.
Feng Xiaogang and the Hong Kong circle clearly did it.
The former scolded Hong Kong Island audiences for discriminating against mainland films.
No matter how big the production or how good the movie is, it is low-level in the eyes of Hong Kong Island people, and it is not as good as the films on Bay Island.
He is a big director with a comprehensive score of more than one billion, and he is not as good as a director with a box office of just over 100 million in Bay Island.
It doesn't matter if Feng Xiaogang is looking for something, the Hong Kong circle has replied.
accusing mainland directors of discriminating against and excluding Hong Kong Island actors, even if they are used to play the leading roles, they will always be so many old people.
In the examples, Lin Nan and Ning Hao are in the forefront, and Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye and other award-winning directors are a little behind.
The director of a commercial film is in front, and it is very realistic.
Feng Xiao just came up and bluntly said that he deserved it and did it himself.
and said that he will no longer consider the box office on Hong Kong Island in his future films......
Well, the media is full of verbal criticism and writing from you to and from me.
Lin Nan, who is the current record holder of domestic films, was inevitably taken out to talk about things.
Although this wave of war of words was provoked by Feng Xiaogang, everyone understands that it was the Hong Kong circle that was seriously injured.
Because of the former, it is indeed possible to ignore the box office on Hong Kong Island, which is the confidence of commercial film directors.
On the contrary, Hong Kong Island movies will die faster if they leave the mainland.
Lin Nan ignored the news outside, and he received a call from Lao Jiang.
"Why don't you be the first to participate in the defense?
With you, they don't dare to take their heads, they all want to shrink back, haha. ”
"And this?"
Lin Nan felt a little unbelievable.
"After all, the status is too bad.
Although you are all classmates, the pressure on them in front of you is no less than in front of Tian Dao. ”
After Lao Jiang said this, Lin Nan understood.
"Then I'll be the first one."
"Well, it's nine o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late."
"No, it won't."
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Nan would be the first to reply, and the news spread in Nortel.
Many professors and teachers have applied to be audited.
Even a large number of students in school want to join in the fun.
…………
The next morning, Lin Nan casually wore casual clothes and drove off.
Liu Yifei went out earlier, she has a photo of a fashion magazine to shoot today, classical style.
There are a lot of people on campus, and there are many reporters mixed in.
They are all very interested in Lin Nan's "Hunting" and hope to get some inside information.
"Director Lin, can you reveal the content of the movie?"
"Sorry, no."
Reporters and students followed Lin Nan's footsteps to the graduate school of the directing department.
"Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter the graduate student defense site, especially when the film is screened."
In the early morning, there were security guards who maintained order and stopped the media reporters and a large number of students.
"That's what you have to do, count forward, which time did you graduate from graduate school and have this battle?" ”
Lao Jiang quipped and reminded again.
"When the thesis was presented, other graduates were there, but they didn't participate in the film screening."
Lin Nan was a little stunned, according to the rules, classmates who graduated together can watch other people's works.
Old Jiang saw Lin Nan's doubts.
"I'm afraid they'll go out and talk nonsense.
This is a special treatment for you, if you don't get the prize, you have to return the favor, hehe. ”
"Okay, this abacus is well played!" Lin Nan complained.
The two made it all the way to the lecture hall.
More than 200 seats, sitting in a quarter, the scene is really not small.
Lin Nan glanced at it, and there were nearly twenty people from other majors who came to audit.
Lao Jiang took the copy of "Hunting" and went to prepare.
Lin Nan stepped onto the podium alone.
"It's time to go."
Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at his students on the stage and said with a smile.
"Okay, teacher."
In the seats, whether it was the professor or the other graduates, they all instantly cheered up.
Lin Nan adjusted his thoughts and prepared to take off the manuscript today.
"As you know, I filmed "The Martian", participated in the investment and participated in "Inception"."
The people below pricked up their ears and listened intently.
"The content of my dissertation is also related to these two films, and it is further deepened."
"Today, the topic of my speech is: "Heavy Industry Films and Film Industrialization."
As soon as Lin Nan's voice fell, the expressions of the people on the field were different.
The professors of the directing department, led by Tian Zhuangzhuang, had a gleam in their eyes.
The teachers of other majors looked solemn and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Only the graduates who audited were stunned.
"That's out of the ordinary, isn't it?"
A student muttered quietly.
"There is no such thing as 'film industrialization' in China, which is the biggest difference from Hollywood.
Their large-scale commercial films can be done like assembly line products.
Standardization, modularization, process, simplification and maximization......"
……
……
For more than an hour, Lin Nan talked eloquently.
He elaborated on the production model of heavy industry films, the advantages of film industrialization, and the promotion of the industry as a whole.
There are also relevant scientific research levels, industrial design and manufacturing capabilities, and various professional talents required......
There are more and more people frowning below, sighing from time to time.
It took a long time for Lin Nan to finish speaking.
"Heavy industry films are highly specialized, process-oriented, capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and genre creation, and are the products of the highly developed film industry.
The above is the content of my defense this time, and I invite you to ask questions. ”
Lin Nan looked at the professors in the first row, waiting for them to speak.
"Director Tian, it's better for you to come. He knows more than I do, what can I ask? ”
Several professors looked depressed and helpless.
"In this regard, he is indeed better than us old guys, so don't ask."
Tian shook his head and made a decision, and the others had no objections.
Lin Nan didn't expect this result, it's really out of line?
When "Hunting" was screened, a group of graduates went out consciously.
"Damn, this is the gap between us and him?"
After a group of people came out, they looked at each other, and the content of Lin Nan's defense just now flashed in their minds.
This thesis, let alone writing, they don't even dare to think about it.
"The Hunt" began to play.
Unlike the paper that just talked about large-scale commercial films, the movie in front of me is a realistic theme.
Scandals, lies, hatred, suspicions, and crowds......
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are like white paper stained with ink and can no longer be wiped clean.
For this kind of movie, academic professors are very good at it.
"Worthy of the person who took the silver bear twice.
Director Tian, with Lin Nan as a reference, your future students will have a hard time. ”
"Haha, it's a good thing to work hard, so that you have goals and motivation."
……
It wasn't until around two o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Nan's defense was completely over.
"You've graduated."
Tian Xiangxiang patted Lin Nan's shoulder, although he was not as tall as the latter.
"Thank you teacher for taking care of me in the past few years, and I have blocked a lot of trouble."
Lin Nan said very sincerely, he has to be grateful.
Tian Xiangxiang waved his hand, "Yes, make a good movie in the future." ”
"Well, I will."
Lin Nan didn't stay at school long.
After getting the copy back, he went back to the company.
——
In the morning, Huayi announced a new film project to the media.
They will invest in the production of a costume blockbuster, directed by Xu Ke.
The industry is ridiculing, it seems that Xu Laowei has come out of the blow of "Seven Swords".
That movie made Xu Ke's reputation plummet, and he lost a lot.
"Di Renjie series?"
Lin Nan saw the report on the Internet, and sure enough, it was "Tongtian Empire".
Not only has the investment reached 130 million, but the actors have been determined, and the film will start at the beginning of next month.
The listing is imminent, and these newly opened projects will play a bonus role for Huayi.
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Nan shouted "enter".
"Director Lin, you guessed." Yue Jun walked in with a smile on his face.
"What's going on now?"
"It will take a few months, but it does not exclude our investment, after all, their competitors are all equal."
At the beginning of the year, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to pay attention to this matter.
After all this time, there was finally an answer.
"How many shares can they give out?" Lin Nan asked.
"No more than 10%."
After Yue Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask again: "Director Lin, is it necessary to invest?" ”
"Yes......"
Lin Nan smiled and said. There are some things that you can't say.
"This matter is very important, and it is still above Zhou Yi's matter."
When Yue Jun heard this, he was a little stunned.
He has stared at Zhou Yi for so long, and how many times he has met Jiang Yurou, but it can't compare to this matter!
"I understand, I'll talk to them again when I get back."
"I want more, though."
Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and said categorically.
"But that one doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go, and it's going to be very difficult."
"On the basis of 10%, it can be a little more until there is no talk."
Seeing that his boss looked unquestionable, Yue Jun could only nod.
"I'll do my best."
"Well, go ahead."
Lin Nan leaned back in the chair alone and breathed a long sigh of relief.
…………
In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Lao Jiang.
The reporter didn't know who interviewed Lin Nan from the content of his graduation defense.
In the afternoon, the news came out, and after a few hours of fermentation.
At this time, there is already a lot of noise on the Internet.
"I guess I asked from which graduate, it's not a big deal.
I'll go and see what the Internet says about me, haha......"
Lin Nan said indifferently.
The purpose of writing this thesis was very simple at the beginning, which was a graduation thesis.
Of course, it would be better if it could have a positive effect on the industry.
