Chapter 363: Minor Surgery
"Director Lin, my movie "Hello! Mr. Tree will be released on the 4th of next month, so if you are free at that time, please correct ......"
After receiving Wang Baoqiang's call, Lin Nan was quite surprised.
"Yes, yes. By the way, congratulations on winning the best actor, and next month's nomination......"
"Hahaha, thank you Director Lin, for borrowing your auspicious words."
Wang Baoqiang's movie, although it did not win the best actor at the Magic Capital Film Festival, won the best actor at the Vladivostok International Film Festival not long ago.
In the past two days, he seems to have been shortlisted for the Best Actor of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, which can be called an inspirational model for grassroots actors!
In fact, Wang Baoqiang's biggest advantage is his attitude, he has always put himself very low, unlike other actors, who will be more or less floating after becoming popular......
Nortel graduates many students every year, but very few can be widely noticed by the media, and most of them are actors.
And among the group of people who will graduate in the first half of next year, the most eye-catching ones are not actors, but two "directors"!
"Director Guo Wan has officially entered the graduate graduation process."
"It is reported that Director Guo Wan is not a graduate student of the Department of Directing, but from the School of Management, and does not involve the filming of graduation dramas."
"The content of his graduation work is taken from director Lin Nan's new movie "Space Traveler".
……
If Guo Wan is a non-director "director" who is about to graduate, then the other is a "parallel director" who has repeated a grade for three years!
"Nortel's official website announced that Zhao Yanzi, a master of arts in the 06-level director department, has entered the graduation process normally ......"
"Zhao Yanzi applied for an extension of graduation for three consecutive years, and decided not to postpone it again!"
……
The Internet is full of news about Zhao Yanzi.
A large number of media flocked to Nortel and tried to contact Zhao Yanzi herself, and finally got an accurate answer, the repeater was ready to graduate.
"I'm almost forgetting this, she seems to be the same graduate student as Director Lin Nan, right?"
"Upstairs is not mistaken, Director Lin's graduation drama that year was "Hunting"!"
"I only remember Director Lin confessing on the podium, and Liu Yifei crying offstage......"
"Director Lin's golden golden lion, just after receiving it, before he could cover the heat, Liu Yifei stretched out his hand and asked him to pass ...... arrogantly."
……
Lin Nan has never seen this kind of operation, a repeater is just a graduate, and he has to hold a media conference!
"I've seen it!"
Zhao Yanzi's mentor is also very powerful, and he actually let this guy hold a press conference in the small hall of the school.
There are many stars who return to school to cheer, and many teachers from the acting department and the directing department are also guests.
However, when faced with questions from the media about the type of graduation drama, this one was instantly silent, didn't know anything, and claimed that he needed to keep it secret.
"Director Lin Nan, who is in the same class as you, is the top director in the circle, and his graduation drama that year won the Golden Lion Award and the Volpi Cup Award for Best Actor.
Do you think Ling's graduation work can be compared to Director Lin's "Hunting"? ”
When the reporter asked this question, not to mention that Zhao Yanzi looked confused, even her mentor was instantly speechless.
It's a bit embarrassing to ask this question on this occasion......
"To be honest, I think I can't compare, before Director Lin won the Golden Lion Award, he already had two Silver Bear Awards for Best Director, I have self-knowledge......"
"Director Guo Wan will also graduate in the first half of next year, he has already directed the sci-fi movie "Source Code", and has been an assistant director of "Thieves" and "Space Travelers", how can he compare?"
As soon as Zhao Yanzi finished answering one question, she was immediately asked another question.
At this time, her face was very gloomy, but she still forcibly kept smiling:
"Director Guo's "Source Code" has a very good reputation and has more experience than me, so I will learn from him......"
……
A media meeting turned into a press conference for comparison and admitting defeat, which made both Zhao Yanzi and teachers very uncomfortable.
"Lao Tian, why do I think you are gloating so much?"
"Is there one? Don't be careful. I can only say that you are a very unlucky student, there is Lin Nan in the same class, and you have postponed your graduation and collided with Guo Wan......"
Speaking of this, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what kind of scene did she film?" ”
Hearing this question, Zhao Yanzi's tutor was also a little unable to take it, "Youth Campus Theme ......"
Tian nodded to show that he understood.
Even if this kind of movie has a high box office, it is still at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the film industry, because it has no grade, and it all depends on selling feelings.
Who doesn't recall the past? Who doesn't have a little regret of youth! This kind of movie is very low.
…………
Lin Nan continued to improve the script in the company, and saw Yue Jun knocking on the door and coming in.
"Director Lin, Zhang Weiping really called to ask."
"You made it clear to him." Lin Nan was interested.
"That's it. I told him that Director Lin, you have promised that as long as he takes the lead, we will support it. ”
"And what did he say?"
He was silent for a minute or two, and then said that this is for the benefit of all the production companies, and he hopes that we will keep our promises and not fall into the ......."
Lin Nan nodded, which was in line with his understanding of Zhang Weiping.
Although this product sometimes doesn't have a door, he likes to shoot cannons, but in order to achieve his goal, he can also back down and speak softly.
"But it's quite amazing to say, Zhang Weiping's organization didn't spread in the circle." Yue Jun was amazed.
"That's easy to understand. Production companies are naturally on the opposite side of the theater chain.
Even if he doesn't want to follow Zhang Weiping, he definitely hopes that Zhang Weiping will succeed in his heart, and of course he won't talk nonsense......"
Speaking of which, Lin Nan is quite looking forward to it, but he doesn't know when Zhang Weiping will act, and it must be exciting when he comes.
……
New screen here.
Zhang Weiping looked serious and confident, and he was very experienced in increasing the share ratio.
With "Hero" that year, he forced the theater chain to increase the filmmaker's share ratio from 38% to 40%.
After that, with "Ambush on All Sides", 40% became 41%.
Although the filmmaker can get 43% now, he still feels that it is not enough, and it can be higher!
After a round of phone calls, as Zhang Weiping expected, some large production companies agreed to support it, but they all wanted him to take the lead.
"Hehe, a bunch of timid guys, do big things and spare their lives, what can they do? can only be a supporting role......"
At this moment, Zhang Weiping is very imposing, he takes the lead, he takes the lead, and others just need to follow.
"It's not the same now as it was nine years ago......
Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Zhang Weiping was a little irritable.
"We have a lot of pressure to return on our investment, and the higher the box office, one more point may be hundreds of millions."
In the office, Zhang Weiping's voice was cold and impatient.
After filming a "Thirteen Hairpins", the two already have a feeling of strangeness.
"I hope to transfer Ni Yi's contract to my studio......"
Before Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Weiping.
"It's impossible, she is the heroine of "Thirteen Hairpins", and she can only stay in the new picture ......"
Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping, who was angry, and really felt that the old partner in front of him was a little strange.
Without waiting for Zhang Yimou to continue to speak, Zhang Weiping rehabilitated the army.
"Zhou Dongyu is signed in your studio, and it is also free-range, I think it is better to transfer to the company, which is convenient for management and arrangement."
The two froze for a while, and saw Zhang Yimou shaking his head, "No, she's fine now, taking the play while going to school......"
Zhang Weiping saw that Zhang Yimou refused very firmly, and then did not force it again, but he did not dispel his thoughts.
These Mou girls are still in the company, so he can rest assured......
When Zhang Yimou left the office, Zhang Weiping turned on the computer.
There was a half-written manuscript that he continued to edit: "Me and Bell ......"
…………
Feng Xiaogang's "1942" was launched.
was previously reviewed by the Film Bureau, and finally the original author fine-tuned the script.
Some particularly uncomfortable scenes have become obscure.
It seems that Feng Xiaogang himself has some premonitions, and he also posted a Weibo:
"This may be the most serious time I've been filming for so many years, I hope I live up to it, and it doesn't live up to my ......"
When the cast of "1942" was announced, the eyes of the film industry were attracted.
Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanyu......
This is a proper lineup of all actors!
Only then did the circle understand, no wonder Feng Xiaogang said that this was his most serious time!
Lin Nan suddenly remembered a sentence and forgot who said it.
That is: every great director must have at least one of the most sincere movies in his life, a movie made without utilitarianism.
Perhaps, "1942" is Feng Xiaogang's movie.
…………
Lin Nan left the company, and when he went back, he happened to bump into Liu Yifei driving back.
"Help me get out of the trunk, get the cage out, I'll go park first."
Miss Liu parked the car next to Lin Nan and said with her head tilted. The face under the sunglasses is sweet.
"Oh, okay."
In a cage, three cats lay quietly, and their eyes looked at Lin Nan as if they were in tears.
"Where did you take this?"
When Lin Nan asked, Miss Liu's car had already driven into the basement.
Five minutes later, Liu Yifei came out with her bag.
"Where did you take them, and how did they look wilted?"
"Guess."
Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan with a smile and winked at him, very naughty.
"I can't guess, I usually help them shovel and feed them at most, where do I know."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei couldn't stop laughing.
She leaned over to Lin Nan's ear and gently spit out a sentence:
"I took them to the pet hospital for a minor operation, hahaha......"
"Hiss......"
At this moment, Lin Nan felt a little cold.
He looked at the three poor little ones in the cage, but they were really pitiful, they would be sisters from now on.
"Sissi, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" Lin Nan couldn't help but say.
"Hmph, you know what, the veterinarian said it's for their good. In a while, there will be a few more, and you will come with me then! ”
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan playfully, very arrogant.
