Chapter 256: The Great Robbery
After many years, Zhang Yimou auditioned for actors again.
In the eyes of ordinary art students, this is simply a good opportunity to climb to the sky.
No one will forget how Zhang Ziyi became famous back then.
She is an inconspicuous ordinary acting student in the 96th class of Chinese opera.
Even in the eyes of the head teacher Chang Li, Zhang Ziyi can only be regarded as a medium qualification.
But luck sometimes really matters!
Zhang Yimou chose her, so there is today's international chapter.
In the past two days, several art academies in the capital have been bustling with activity.
The registration time for this year's art examination has not yet arrived, but many art candidates have rushed over from all over the country in advance.
School students and art candidates are all flocking to Nortel and Chinese opera.
Because Zhang Yimou will personally go to these two colleges and pick some amateurs as candidates for the hero and heroine of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
Although it is only the first round of primaries, no one is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
China Opera and Nortel provided all the convenience for Zhang Yimou.
This is the treatment of a great director.
……
"Alas, I don't know when, I can also have this kind of preferential treatment from Director Zhang?"
Lu Yang sighed sourly.
He sat far away from Lin Nan and Guo Wan, so that he would not interfere with each other when editing.
"Then I guess I'll have to wait for the next life." Guo Wan quipped.
"Aren't you?"
Lu Yang retorted with a smile and subconsciously looked at Lin Nan.
"Director Lin is absolutely fine.
If you open a new movie, you will also be auditioned, and the treatment given by Chinese opera and Nortel will definitely not be worse than Director Zhang.
I'm like Guo Wan, maybe I'll give a classroom at most, haha......"
Lin Nan was also amused.
"Even if it doesn't have a chance. I can't learn Director Zhang's set, I prefer to use mature actors to worry-free. ”
It is said that Zhang Yimou is very good at training newcomer actors, but it takes too much energy.
Lin Nan has only experienced it once, and that is Jing Tian in "The Martian".
That sourness, he still remembers it to this day.
Thinking about that scene at that time, Lin Nan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
…………
The box office of "Avatar" reached 1.24 billion.
Except for theatrical chains, all the production companies in the industry want it to be released immediately.
Lin Nan heard Han Sanping say that a notice had been issued from above to let "Avatar" be screened in the interior.
In this case, the day before the screening, it also reported a box office of 20 million, which is simply terrifying.
The wolves were driven out, and the sheep began to come out to graze.
"Confucius" starring Zhou Yunfa and Zhou Xun was the first to be released.
The box office on the first day was 9 million.
This made a group of industry insiders breathe a sigh of relief, this number is normal!
The next day, the Hollywood movie "Agent Next Door" starring Cheng Long was released, with 5.1 million on the first day.
This makes the domestic movies in the back more assured, and there is a feeling that I can do it again!
The domestic movie, which has been silent for more than 20 days, instantly became "alive and vibrant".
All kinds of publicity came out of nowhere, especially the films that will be released in February.
What kung fu masterpieces "Su Qier", "Jin Yiwei", the love blockbuster "Love in the City", the nostalgic comedy "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010", and the action blockbuster "Big Soldier" ......
I don't know if the producers and distributors of these movies are embarrassed or not, anyway, there are boos on the Internet.
After seeing the blockbusters, the promotional slogans of these domestic movies always give the audience a feeling of water injection, which is very fake.
……
Among the four films of Lin Nan Films, "People in Embarrassment" has the simplest plot and the lowest cost.
More than 4 months have passed since the preparation.
"Director Lin, I'm done here."
When Xu Zheng called to tell Lin Nan the news, the latter was also flustered.
It's only been about 20 days of filming, and this is complete?
But Lin Nan immediately thought of the plot of this movie, and he didn't say anything.
Twenty days, no problem
"Then come back, I'll have someone prepare a finale banquet for you."
A lot of media have paid attention to several films of Lin Nan Pictures.
As soon as "People in Embarrassment" was announced, there was news on the Internet.
"Actor Xu Zheng, directorial debut "People in Embarrassment", finished today."
"Lin Nan Films, the small-budget movie "People in Embarrassment" has completed filming, and Wang Baoqiang plays a migrant worker again!"
"This is a comedy about the Spring Festival on the way home, all kinds of jokes are not funny......"
……
At a finale banquet, Wang Baoqiang toasted wine several times, and it was all liquor, which should have been cultivated in Huayi.
"Director Lin, I respect you, you are free."
Lin Nan smiled and took a sip of red wine.
He suddenly remembered that Liu Yifei reminded him before, let him not touch the wine when he was entertaining alone, he looked quite fierce at that time.
"Director Lin, I also toast you. There are also Guo Dao and Lu Dao. ”
Xu Zheng picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. Looking at it like this, he is a decisive person.
The next day, Xu Zheng reached the color of heaven.
Everyone who comes here for the first time will be shocked by the picture in front of them.
There are a large number of machines and equipment, and dozens of nearly 100 technicians.
Xu Zheng saw a lot of cards with the names of the movies written on them, standing in different areas.
These are all projects received by Tiangong Color, and they are not big.
An employee brought Xu Zheng to an area dedicated to editing the post-production of the movie, and Lin Nan and others were here.
"Director Lin."
"Here we are. You go and sit across from Lu Yang, it should be enough to have two editors, right? ”
"Enough, I can do it myself." Xu Zheng said with a smile.
In the afternoon of the same day, the later stage of "People in Embarrassment" also began.
Lin Nan has already begun to think about the schedule, how to arrange the four movies is the most appropriate.
He felt that he had to go find Han Sanping.
……
Xing Aina called and wanted to invite Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to eat at home.
It was quite sudden.
Lin Nan felt that there should be something, so he didn't refuse.
It just so happened that Miss Liu had just been free in the past two days.
When Lin Nan returned to the villa, Liu Yifei had been waiting for a long time.
When I was still in Hengdian, I wore the down jacket, with jeans and boots underneath, which was really casual.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The girl pulled the door and got into the passenger seat. He was also carrying a gift box in his hand.
"What's that?"
"Dessert, Sister Xing likes to eat it."
Lin Nan shook his head, he was really familiar.
Driving all the way to Ning Hao's house, he was a little curious, calling himself and Liu Yifei to come over today, wouldn't it really be just a meal?
When he arrived at Ning Hao's villa, he saw him walking around the yard with his fat son in his arms, the big gold chain around his neck shining golden in the sun.
"You're a little slow, my wife cooks herself." Ning Hao complained.
Lin Nan wanted to reply, but when he heard this, he was silent.
Liu Yifei looked at the little guy in Ning Hao's arms, her eyes lit up.
She touched the child's face with her finger and said, "Call Auntie ......"
The little guy's dark eyes stared at Liu Yifei, just laughing, but not speaking.
"Like kids? Looking for Lin Nan to ask for it, haha......"
Ning Hao's words directly made Liu Yifei blush.
"Let's go, come in with me, I'm waiting for you two here."
……
Xing Ai is a powerful one, a big table full of dishes, all of which she made alone.
Lin Nan guessed correctly, it is true that you are invited to eat, and it is also true that there is something.
"I asked you to help me read the script of "No Man's Land" before, but I didn't listen to you at the time, and it turned out to be ...... like this."
As soon as Ning Hao came up, he also sensationalized.
"After eating, let's help him read the new script." Xing Aina said with a smile.
"That sister's meal is not cheap." Lin Nan quipped.
Liu Yifei had already eaten on the side, with a lively expression.
didn't talk about business at the dinner table, and after more than half an hour, Lin Nan followed Ning Hao to the study.
Liu Yifei and Xing Aina chatted in the living room.
"Director Ning, what script is it this time?"
As soon as Lin Nan finished asking, Ning Hao handed over the things.
A script that is a little thinner than "No Man's Land".
Lin Nan glanced up at Ning Hao, who had a somewhat serious expression at this time, and was a little helpless.
"Take a look and give me some advice."
When he said this, he could hear that Ning Hao was a little unconfident, and "No Man's Land" hit him too hard.
Lin Nan began to flip through the script, inexplicably a little familiar.
It's another one-line narrative film, exactly the same as "No Man's Land", but in the style of "Stone" and "Racing"-type black humor.
The story is not long, and there are many details.
Lin Nan can see that this script is a little more restrained, and it is very similar to the thinking of "No Man's Land", but it is the opposite to express.
The difference between this script and "No Man's Land" lies in the direction of the ending. The two movies seem to be told in reverse, and this one is moving closer to "correctness".
"Why don't you have a name?" Lin Nan asked,
"It's just not marked, the name of this script is "The Golden Mystery", or "The Great Gold Robbery", ......"
Lin Nan's eyes widened for a moment, okay, he was just confused.
"It should be no problem.,After all, the male protagonist has gone from a gangster to a glorious 'revolutionary'.,Don't you like this? Haha......"
Ning Ha's face was a little cloudy.
"You mean I gave in to them?
Well, it's succumbing, those old immortals. ”
"Haha, this is your own admission, not my business.
However, this script is really good, I suggest you polish it a little more, it's a bit rough. ”
Ning Hao nodded, "Well, this is only the third draft, and the plot will not change, just refine the lines." When the time comes, I'll make a budget, and you can invest a little ......."
"Okay, then vote a little." Lin Nan agreed.
When the two of them came out of the study, they saw Xing Aina and Liu Yifei on the sofa, teasing the children. Children under the age of one are still quite cute.
"How?"
Xing Aina saw the two of them come out and hurriedly asked.
"No problem, I pulled him onto the boat, haha." Ning Hao said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'll be the producer of this movie."
Xing Aina looked a little excited, she had just talked to Liu Yifei about it.
"She just saw that Yifei was the producer of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and felt that her predecessor was still lagging behind, and her face was a little ...... shameless."
