Chapter 266: Change the director and set the investor
"Friends?"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, held her throat, and said softly:
"What would you think if I told someone else that I was just a normal friend with you?"
Liu Yifei acted very cooperatively, gritting her silver teeth and glaring at Lin Nan, "Then you will die......"
Huang Xiaoming was on the side, looking at the couple speechlessly.
"Okay, I'll admit, it's just the beginning, don't spread the word."
"We don't talk that much." Lin Nan quipped.
At this time, Donnie Yen and his agent came over.
"Director Lin, respect you."
At this time, Donnie Yen looked humble again.
"Hmm."
Lin Nan raised his glass and took a small sip.
When the two walked away, Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming.
"When filming and publicity, is he often absent?"
"This ......"
Huang Xiaoming smiled helplessly and didn't speak.
Got it.
There are some things that can be expressed more without saying it.
……
Today's premiere of "Ip Man 2" is a complete success.
Not long after the day ended, the media reported on the premiere.
"On the basis of the first part, "Ip Man 2" has more simple elements centered on the family......"
"The play is still exciting!"
"Yang Shoucheng proudly said that the box office is at least 200 million!"
"If the box office results are good, I will consider filming a third part."
The good reputation of the first part has made a large number of viewers look forward to the content of the second part, and many theaters are ready to increase the film schedule.
……
"Today, many actors came to greet me, and I didn't know them before."
Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan's arm and talked about the premiere.
"Male or female?"
"What about men, I say?"
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei with a mocking face and decided to cooperate.
"Then you'll have to tell me about it."
"Haha, you're stupid, how can there be men, all of them are women."
Although he was laughing at Lin Nan, it could be seen that Liu Yifei was very satisfied with his attitude.
The next day, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and their assistants set off to prepare to fly to the magic capital.
Because of the Yushu incident, this year's Bazaar Charity Night was brought forward to April.
Before getting on the plane, Miss Liu also said to Lin Nan that if she thought there was anything suitable for Lin Nan, she would buy it for him.
What a touch!
…………
In just ten days, Lin Nan doubted whether Wu Ershan had any rest halfway.
Looking at the thick stack of sub-shots on the table, Lin Nan was a little speechless.
"Director Lin, the sub-shots of the entire script are here, of course, this is "Painted Skin 2" in my own mind."
Lin Nan didn't speak, but picked up the results of Wu Ershan and began to look at it.
is also the script of "Painted Skin 2", Lin Nan filmed and Wu Ershan filmed, and the finished film obtained is definitely a different style.
Lin Nan can see from these sub-shots in his hand that Wu Ershan is better at using the environment to set off the atmosphere.
"Director Lin, how's it going?" Twenty minutes later, Wu Ershan couldn't help but ask.
"When I was on the crew of "Painted Skin 1", I knew that your style was different from mine."
"Hehe, I'm also on this kind of film, I have a bit of a hobby, and I can't direct all kinds of movies like Director Lin."
Lin Nan nodded, Lu Yang likes martial arts, Guo Wan has good overall planning ability, and Wu Ershan is outstanding in color composition......
"Your storyboard is pretty good."
When Wu Ershan heard this, he was instantly excited.
"Then I'm ......"
"But have you ever thought about why a movie with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars should be given to you like this?
How many directors need this kind of opportunity? Even if I don't be the director of "Painted Skin 2", the company still has Guo Wan and Lu Yang......"
Lin Nan said very directly.
Wu Ershan frowned, he had considered this question, there was never a free lunch in the world.
"Director Lin, I signed in to the company?"
Lin Nan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. He's not going to sign Uershan, it's enough to have those two.
"I have another option here that you can consider.
Give you the director of "Painted Skin 2", but in the future you need to make a few more movies for the company, just with your current salary, and you have to ensure the quality ......"
Lin Nan gave Wu Ershan another choice.
I saw that the other party thought for a few minutes and nodded decisively.
"Director Lin, I promise this way."
"Think clearly? I'm not going to give you one after the other, maybe on and off for years. ”
"I figured it out that this way was the friendliest way for me, at least it guaranteed freedom."
"Well, that's fine."
Lin Nan asked Wu Ershan to sign the contract another day.
He had to think about the problem of "Painted Skin 2".
The director changed from himself to Wu Ershan, and several other companies will have opinions.
After a long time, Lin Nan laughed to himself. "Hehe, what do I want to do with this? Can they not join in if they have an opinion......
…………
Several companies such as China Film, Wanda, and Guangguang have received notices from Lin Nan Pictures.
"What was he thinking? Why change the director? ”
"I heard Yue Jun say that he was replaced by the assistant director of "Painted Skin".
The secretary looked at Han Sanping and explained.
"What Director Lin means is that if you don't feel at ease, you can withdraw in advance, and then you can directly determine the investor."
After cooperating for so long, Han Sanping believes in Lin Nan, but this time it is an investment of hundreds of millions!
After hesitating for a while, he decided to join.
"Go tell Lin Nan that Zhongying is following. Let him be reliable, such a big investment. ”
……
After Xiying and Ning Ying reported, they decided to continue to follow. couldn't be mixed with a good project in the first place, but now that Lin Nan is willing to continue playing, how can he give up.
Wang Changtian is a little empty.
"Lin Nan, don't bluff my brother, it's almost a newcomer, are you sure to let him come?"
"Wang Dong, believe me, it's just a "Painted Skin 2", the production team is still the team of the first part, and only the director has changed."
"You made me think about it......"
"Okay, Wang Dong will reply to me as soon as possible, since I have decided on the director, I won't wait too long."
In fact, Lin Nan could roughly guess Wang Changtian's reply later, and there was a high probability that he would not follow this time.
It's just that what Lin Nan didn't expect was that the first one who made it clear that he would not participate would be Shangying.
"Lin Nan, if you were to be the director, the group would not have a second word, but a newcomer, I can't convince others."
Although Ren Zhonglun is doing the work of the first leader in Shangying, he is actually the first deputy director at this time, which is not as good as Han Sanping's words in Zhongying.
"Okay, then I hope to cooperate with Shangying next time."
"Well, next time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head, it seems that Shangying and "Painted Skin" really have no fate.
The last phone call went smoothly, Ye Ning didn't think much about it, so he decisively agreed.
"The two of us have been working together for so long, this little thing is not a problem, just that little money. Just call me out when the quota is set. ”
After a circle, the most straightforward is Wanda! This was also expected by Lin Nan
He estimated that even if Wanda knew that the movie would lose money, there was a high probability that it would not hesitate to invest! That's not investing in movies, it's about investing in favors.
……
There is the first part for reference, and the following departments quickly made the budget for "Painted Skin 2".
"Director Lin, we have set a budget of 100 million."
Lin Nan remembered that when he was in the first part, he could press the cost to 80 million at that time, but several investors asked him to do it according to 100 million.
"Are you sure?"
"Because the special effects part is done by ourselves, 100 million is about the same."
"It's set at 120 million, and Tiangong color has to make money." Lin Nan commanded.
"Okay, Director Lin."
……
As Lin Nan guessed, Wang Changtian really gave up the investment in "Painted Skin 2".
At this moment, counting Lin Nan Pictures, there are only five investors.
……
Because there are fewer signed artists now, Yue Jun manages Shanhai Media.
At this moment, Zeng Jia was talking to Yue Jun, who was reading the script.
"I'll ask Director Lin, if the time comes, just take it."
Yue Jun returned the script in his hand, and the expression on his face was a little weird.
"Director Yue, then please."
Zeng Jia didn't ask too much, and left Yue Jun's office.
"That's interesting, hehe......"
Muttering, Yue Jun got up and went to find Lin Nan.
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Nan was a little convinced at this time.
There are things that should be yours and yours, and you can't hide from them.
is like the script invitation Yang Mi received.
"How long do they say it will take to turn it on?"
"It's about the same as mid-July to the end of July."
Lin Nan nodded, in his opinion, this time was completely fine.
"Painted Skin 2" will start in late May at the latest, and the role planned for Yang Mi is only a supporting role, and it can definitely be done in a month.
"Tell Zeng Jia that you can pick it up, and it won't conflict with "Painted Skin 2"."
"Hmm."
…………
On the other side, Zeng Jia had just arrived at Yang Mi's residence when the call came.
"What's wrong, Jiajia?"
Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia with a surprised look on her face and asked.
"That TV series, Director Yue said you can do next."
Yang Mi was first overjoyed, and then a little worried, "What about "Painted Skin 2"?" ”
"Haha, don't worry, Director Yue still has a word, this TV series will not conflict with "Painted Skin 2". What do you mean, you know? ”
At this moment, Yang Mi had a feeling of bitterness.
"I know, I understand, it means that there is my character in "Painted Skin 2"! Ha ha...... Go, go out, I'm in for a treat. ”
…………
Watching the live broadcast of Sina's Bazaar Charity Night, Lin Nan regretted a little that he didn't fly to the magic capital with Liu Yifei.
On the red carpet, Miss Liu wore a golden dress, which was very eye-catching.
It's really good-looking, but Lin Nan always feels uncomfortable......
"Yifei, why didn't you see Director Lin today?"
A reporter interviewed and asked.
"He has work to do, and I can't spare time today, so I will donate on his behalf."
Liu Yifei in front of the camera is downright and generous.
"Work? Is it "Painted Skin 2"? ”
A reporter reacted quickly and hurriedly asked.
"Well, yes."
Liu Yifei replied, not hiding it. This was originally Lin Nan's statement, which happened to be revealed to the outside world.
A group of reporters were very excited, and the news was no less than tonight's charity night.
……
Today I said that I was going to write three chapters, but I actually tried my best, and only wrote a little more than two chapters.
It's a pity, it looks like I can't write it before 12 o'clock, so I'll continue tomorrow.
(End of chapter)
