Chapter 680: Return to Berlin, Director Wang Da
At the beginning of 03, Lin Nan followed Li Yang to Berlin for the first time, and that time was because of "Blind Well".
At that time, he was just a fledgling freshman, and Li Yang was his guide.
And the second time, it was the beginning of 05.
Lin Nan took his first award-winning film "Hidden in the Dust" and won the grand prize of the International Film Festival for the first time, that is, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin!
Since then, he has stepped into the ranks of great directors and become the youngest international director in China!
And that time, it was also the person Li Yang helped him find, so that he saved the registration sieve link and directly entered the competition stage of the shortlist.
Lin Nan is very grateful and cherishes this friendship.
So in January 07, when Li Yang took the initiative to go to Hollywood to find him and ask for help, he was willing to do "Blind Mountain" at any cost and invest in Li Yang.
Later, when the movie was released, in exchange for as many films as possible, Lin Nan even used the distribution business of "Painted Skin" as a bargaining chip and handed it over to Yu Dong's Bona.
That year was also Lin Nan's third trip to Berlin.
With the foreign language film "Buried Alive", he won his second Silver Bear trophy for Best Director, completely consolidating his position as the top director in the industry!
The only thing that Lin Nan regretted was that that time, he lost to Wang Dadao and lost to the latter's "Tuya's Marriage"!
Thinking of these, Lin Nan couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and he was a little nostalgic for the "youth" of the past.
Speaking of which, he is indeed a descendant of the Berlin International Film Festival, although the most dazzling and commemorative Golden Lion trophy was won in Venice.
"Lin, on behalf of the organizing committee, I sincerely invite you to return to Berlin. And the beautiful Ms. Crystal, on the red carpet in Berlin in February, looking forward to your arrival.
Lin, although the exact time of the opening ceremony has not yet been decided, it is certain that the closing ceremony will definitely end before your Lunar New Year......"
Reception room on the third floor.
With brown hair and a non-standard Chinese speak, the selection of the Asian region of the Berlin International Film Festival is sincerely inviting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"It's been almost eight years since I last went to Berlin." Lin Nan couldn't help but whisper.
Liu Yifei held his hand, nodded slightly, and recalled with a smile:
"Well, it's been eight years. I remember that I was still in a martial arts school at the time, and I trained hard every day for "The King of Kung Fu".
What English lines, foreign language film learning, script study, kung fu secret weapons, fists and feet, weapon routines, opera forms ......"
When Lin Nan heard this, the smile on his face became a little helpless, and he couldn't help but want to complain about Miss Liu:
"I know that you are very good at playing, and I insist on exercising. But you don't have to 'force' me every now and then, right? The muscles, the vest line, and the back muscles...... I don't ...... very often."
"Lin, what do you mean? We really hope to see Manchester by the Sea in Berlin. ”
The Asian regional filmmaker opposite, smiling, continued to invite.
In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about, after catching up, isn't it just a business.
Lin Nan immediately nodded and said:
"Of course, Yifei and Leonardo and I will participate in this year's Berlin International Film Festival. Copies will be sent to the organizing committee after the official registration for the festival begins. ”
Hearing Lin Nan's words, the person opposite sat up instantly, held his hand excitedly and said:
"Thank you, Lin, and welcome back to the Berlin International Film Festival!
But you don't need to send it, I'll send someone to pick it up and take it back to Berlin along the way. ”
"Well, that's fine."
Half an hour later, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent people downstairs and then returned to the office.
"Sissi, you have another itinerary to accompany me to Berlin."
Liu Yifei nodded happily: "Well, okay, I'll go on a trip with you." When we come back, we will celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.
Alas? Thinking about it this way, my brands have to be happy again. Definitely will come to annoy me, talking about the red carpet, what dresses, jewelry, bags ......"
"When I see them next time, I'll let them add money and take advantage of me!"
Lin Nan smiled helplessly. He doesn't accept advertisements, so Liu Yifei can receive more than twice as many high-end endorsement invitations every year as a normal top line.
Because the brands all know that as long as Liu Yifei signs the endorsement contract, they can rub Lin Nan, especially on the large-scale occasions of international film festivals, and make money!
"Okay, haha......"
Leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder, Liu Yifei smiled heartlessly.
…………
In this year's entertainment industry, to say something unpleasant, it's really fucking interesting!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei only saw the kung fu of a Berlin filmmaker, and the film and television industry was such an abrupt earthquake!
When it was close to noon, the front page of the official Weibo Ping An Capital, Weibo hot search, and portal ......
All media platforms are reporting one thing - "The big director played too much and was caught by the police uncle on the spot!" ”
What does the word "Golden Bear Director" mean?
For the film industry, this is the person at the top of the pyramid, the international director, representing a steady stream of various top resources and circles!
You must know that after so many years, there have only been 6 Golden Bear directors in the entire Chinese film industry!
For the film and television industry, this is the real earthquake.
And the style of painting on the Internet is even more "joyful":
"It's a long life! His wife is Zhang ......, that figure, that looks, that breasts, that ass...... Isn't that enough? ”
"There are so many beautiful female artists in the film and television industry who want to be on top and want to be submerged, he is a big director, beckoning, isn't there as much as he wants, can he go to that?"
"It's okay, at least there are no unspoken rules, others spend money to do things, and stimulate the economy...... Much better than a lot of hypocrites! ”
"How can there be the fragrance of wild flowers in the house, what you want is a stimulus! The big director is strong......"
These netizens have simply brought into full play their nature of watching the excitement and not making a big deal of it.
……
"Incredible! Judging from the official report, it was reported by the masses on the evening of the 10th and arrested at the scene. ”
"it...... After the interrogation, the information I got was even more explosive, and it was actually the 8th, 9th, and 10th that were all ...... for three consecutive days."
"Upstairs, the key points, there was still a man and two women on the night of the 9th......"
"Come to think of it, he's 50 years old this year, right? At this age, is it so explosive? Bald, it's really strong! ”
The content is getting off track...... Many netizens are even discussing how the big director maintains his health? How can you be so old and strong!
……
"Our great director is always a romantic talent, count his ex-girlfriend, Jiang Wen...... Yu ......"
"Pity Miss Zhang, it seems that she is still traveling in New York when she looks at Weibo! Yesterday, I was met by a netizen and posted a selfie. The message is more interesting, it is: has it been discovered? My little 'LOVE'! ”
"I'll go, sister-in-law, this is God's prophecy?"
……
Speechless, really speechless.
After returning home with Liu Yifei at noon, Lin Nan saw the news on the Internet and heard the rumors in the circle, which disgusted him.
Two hours ago, when he met with the filmmakers in Berlin, he was still regretting that "Buried Alive" lost to "Tuya's Marriage" 7 years ago.
But who would have thought that Director Wang Da had been in for three days!
But then again, no one in the circle would have thought that a top director would play so "simple" and "not taboo"!
In the end, Lin Nan still sighed, hoping that when he was 50 years old, his body would be "stronger" than Director Wang! Well, I'll find an old Taoist priest another day......
When helping Liu Xiaoli serve the dishes, Liu Yifei ran to the door of the kitchen wearing slippers, holding two bites of red apples in her hand.
"Lin Nan, oh, Ladong is looking for you."
"Let's go, I said I don't need your help, just wait for dinner."
Liu Xiaoli urged with a smile, and looked at her daughter again, "It's about to start, you have something else to eat...... Hi, still running ......"
If something like that happened outside, Lama was definitely going to call.
Because part of the list of creators of "The Mermaid" has been sent to China Film, La Paikang knows that Zhang Yuqi will participate, and he is one of the protagonists whose roles are comparable to that of the female number one!
"Ladong?"
Sitting cross-legged on the lawn, Lin Nan stroked the soft fat orange with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
"Do you want to change the actress over there in "Mermaid"? After all, there was such a big deal in her family. The conference was only held for a month last month, and prostitution is also ......"
La's concern is very reasonable, but it's not fair, after all, Zhang Yuqi doesn't have that.
Moreover, to be honest, it is really difficult to limit the "banning" to the level of director Golden Bear.
In other words, if Lin Nan is the descendant of Berlin, then Wang Dadao is one of the sons-in-law!
A Golden Bear, a Silver Bear for Best Screenplay, and a Silver Bear for Best Artistic Contribution, his movies can be sold only without being released!
"You forgot? We promised Director Zhou Xingchi not to interfere in the casting. What you said depends on what Zhou Xingchi means. By the way, how did you come up with this idea? ”
Lin Nan asked curiously, it stands to reason that Lapai Kang is not this kind of character?
"Shangying asked over there."
Well, now Lin Nan understands; Zhang Yuqi is really of little value to Shangying.
"Then ask Zhou Xingchi over there?"
Lin Nan didn't answer immediately.
In his opinion, although Zhou Xingchi loves money, he is also stubborn. The actors he recognizes will not be easily replaced.
Just like this time, although Wen Zhang's reputation plummeted because of that incident, he still gave a cameo role, and it was specially designed!
"If you want to ask, then ask, and I'll forget it. Since I promised not to intervene, I must have this attitude. ”
Hearing Lin Nan say this, Lapakang immediately paused.
"Yes, whatever you want. It's not that you have to change it, but after all, China Film is a state-owned enterprise, so you still have to ask over there. ”
"Well, I understand."
Lin Nan responded.
Wang Dadao's matter is destined to have a small impact, and Zhang Yuqi's side is just one of them.
"Lin Nan, eat!"
Liu Yifei stood at the door of the villa, with her hands on her waist and her cheeks puffed out, looking like this, she was criticized by her own mother!
"Okay, I'll be right here. Are you guilty again? ”
"Hmph, I have a son-in-law, but I forgot my daughter!"
Good guy, Lin Nan was speechless, it seems that he should say this, right? Lao Lin Tou, that is the only way to have a daughter-in-law and forget his son!
……
The Chinese-language film circle, specifically the Hong Kong circle, has a distinctive characteristic.
That is, every few years, someone stands up and launches a movement to boycott Zhou Xingchi, and then a large number of Hong Kong Island actors and stars immediately respond and attack Zhou in groups.
And if you compare carefully, it is not difficult to find that whenever the "Reverse Week Movement" occurs, it is when Zhou Xingchi has a new movie or work that is being prepared, started filming or is about to be released!
