With the news of the official establishment of the film "The Great Wall" at the press conference of China Film, the news of the Sino-US co-production and the official establishment of the film "The Great Wall" spread rapidly.

The entire Chinese film industry, the production industry, film and television entertainment companies, brokerage companies, actors and artists, are all agitated.

Because throughout the history of domestic films, it is really rare to have a big production of this level.

An initial investment of $150 million, the participation of two Hollywood giants in investment and production, top directors, global distribution and release, magical action epic movies, IMAX-3D special effects......

For all actors, isn't this an opportunity to step into Hollywood, and expand the global market?

The last such co-production that China participated in was "Pacific Rim". But that movie is not popular, it's all about mecha and monsters!

Therefore, even in the eyes of top first-line actors, "The Great Wall" is undoubtedly the unattainable and big cake!

From the limited information at the press conference, it can be concluded that the director of "The Great Wall" must be among those people. You can bet in advance and take action! ”

"There is also a commotion in the Hong Kong circle, demanding that everyone be treated equally, and their directors and actors are considered...... It's beautiful to think about, but I went to the mainland to grab food with me? ”

"Director Chen Kaige seems to be intentional? Producer Chen gave several posts to insiders who strongly recommended director Kai Ge, and they all liked it. ”

Wang Jiawei said that he wanted to see the script of "The Great Wall".

"Director Wang Jing is interested in "The Great Wall", and said that when the time comes, he will start filming and want to visit the class."

Director Lin Nan, director Zhang Yimou, director Jiang Wen...... Why didn't they move? ”

……

Lin Nan didn't care about how lively the circle was, he still had a headache.

Lapai Kang called him to go to Zhongying, although he didn't say what it was, but do you still need to guess?

As soon as the front foot held the project launch conference of "The Great Wall", the back foot notified him to go over the next day.

What else could it be other than the movie thing?

"Come on, let's take it one step at a time. It's not that I'm resistant, the key is that co-production is really not easy to make.

It is necessary to blend Eastern and Western cultures and take into account the global market. The movie script is really not easy to make, it is too difficult, and it is easy to go wrong.

The right to speak, the right to edit, and the right to command the crew...... The attribution of these powers is a key factor restricting the quality and direction of co-produced films! ”

While eating breakfast, Lin Nan was still muttering about these things.

When Liu Xiaoli went out, she asked him curiously if Miss Liu had called again to affect his rest, and Lin Nan had to perfunctory say that it was a matter of work.

At nine o'clock, Lin Nan set off from home and drove to Zhongying.

He was already a little mentally prepared at this time, but he wanted to hear what Lama Escort Kang would say, and what he would say? It's not so easy to convince him!

On the hot search on Weibo, the movie information of "Heart Flower Road" that won a box office of 550 million in 5 days can only be ranked below "The Great Wall".

It is conceivable that the latter has what kind of attention and topic volume it has on the whole network, which is definitely the kind that is explosive.

In particular, the meaning of the word "Great Wall" is by no means comparable to that of other big-budget films. In this, there is a national plot.

Outside China Film, there are still a lot of media squatting.

And Lin Nan's big black G slowly drove in in the footage of their long guns and short guns.

The reporters are all excited, isn't it just to get this kind of "first-hand information" just to squat here? Today's harvest is quite a lot!

…………

Lin Nan didn't expect that Zhongying was quite lively here.

When he passed by the reception room, he saw Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao and others.

Several bigwigs in the industry are with assistants or secretaries, and they are smiling and talking about things inside.

At first glance, it is a state of harmony on the surface, scolding and scolding in the heart, and being wary of each other.

"Yo, Qiao, Director Lin. You're also coming to Ladong? ”

Seeing Lin Nan who appeared at the door, Yu Dong was the first to react and said hello.

"How many of you are drinking tea here?" Lin Nan asked knowingly with a smile.

These people are obviously here to play the idea of "The Great Wall", either for investment shares or for the distribution business.

For a blockbuster, it is often impossible for a company to achieve the ultimate in distribution, and several companies will cooperate more thoroughly, even if it is only in China!

"Haha, it's tea. By the way, I was waiting to talk to Ladong about something, but by coincidence, I got together. ”

Zhang Zhao took over the conversation and joked.

"Then don't bother a few, Ladong is still waiting for me."

Lin Nan nodded, and left with the secretary, leaving only a few people in the reception room looking at each other.

"It's obviously late, but it's ...... earlier than us" Wang Zhonglei's yin and yang weird voice sounded.

"Mr. Wang, Lin Nan is not only the boss of a film and television company, but also a big director! Well, it's much bigger than Director Feng of Huayi! Hehe......"

Yu Dong said coldly, and instantly choked Wang Zhonglei, and Zhang Zhao was happy to watch the excitement on the side.

……

"Come on, let's take a look."

As soon as they met, La Paokang threw the two scripts to Lin Nan, and there was a momentum of mastering everything.

"Ladong, what do you mean?"

Lin Nan sat there, picked up the English version of "The Great Wall" on the table, and replied pretending to be unaware.

"This movie, you try."

Really!

Looking at the smile on La's face, Lin Nan sighed in his heart.

"Me? I don't have any film plans in the near future, awards season, PR, Golden Globes, Oscars...... It's been going on for months. ”

Lin Nan refused while looking at the script curiously. Alas, it was a script made by a Hollywood screenwriter!

"I didn't say anything about the recent shooting. The big director in the Chinese film industry, at present, Ling is the most suitable.

Young, internationally renowned, and box office appeal, it also has achievements in North America...... More blockbuster experience......"

Well, listening to the chairman of China Film touting himself like this, Lin Nan felt a little fluttery, but he still shook his head.

"Ladong, I'm not interested in this movie."

This time, Lin Nan said it very directly, which made the smile on La's face stiffen and become serious.

In La's heart, he hadn't predicted this outcome.

In his opinion, Lin Nan's taking over "The Great Wall" is the most perfect thing, and all parties are satisfied!

"Why?"

Lin Nan was about to answer, but was interrupted by La Xiangkang again.

"Lin Nan Pictures can participate in the investment, and you can get a high director's salary or a global box office account, which is also agreed by Legend and Universal!"

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, it was indeed quite sincere.

"Ladong, it's not about the salary, I really don't have a work plan. I was still thinking about waiting for the award ceremony to finish and slowly prepare for the wedding...... I want to go back to school next year to teach......"

Looking at Lin Nan's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, La Xiangkang was speechless.

He interrupted and asked, "Yifei is running the promotion of "Interstellar"? ”

Just as he was talking energetically, he was diverted from speaking, and Lin Nan nodded a little confused:

"Well, the release time in North America is a week earlier than in China, and she should have set off with the crew today."

At this time, the figures of Lu Zheng and Jing Tian flashed in La's mind, and looked at Lin Nan:

"You won't be able to finish reading the movie script at this time, I can tell you: "The Great Wall" is a big heroine-themed movie, if you take over the director's position, China Film can make the decision to give the heroine to Yifei, Legend and Universal will not object. After all, whether it's a coffee position or a resume, Yifei is very suitable, isn't it? ”

Lin Nan's eyes widened, and there was an expression of crying and laughing on his face.

Good guy, now everyone really knows that Liu Yifei is his Lin Nan's weakness, and he can directly prescribe the right medicine and handle it accurately, right?

The brand side is doing this, and the activities in the circle are doing this...... Now even China Film is doing this?

"Ladong, you're a bit of a fool. Haha......"

Seeing Lin Nan's smiling expression, La's accompaniment was also happy, and he hit the railway while it was hot:

"Before, someone came to the relationship in advance and wanted the heroine. If you agree, I'll just go back over there......"

The lama accompanied him and talked about it, and he didn't say who had come, but only that the relationship was very hard.

Lin Nan didn't reply, a few fingers lightly tapped his thighs, it was difficult.

"Casting shouldn't be entirely up to the director, right?"

After a long time, Lin Nan asked.

If the director has the final say, La Paikang will not say that after he takes over the director, China Film can make Liu Yifei's words.

"Well, the director only has a part of the say."

Hearing this, Lin Nan understood-"The Great Wall" is a producer-centered system!

"Can I take the script back and read it?"

Lin Nan closed the script and put it on the Chinese version of "The Great Wall".

La Paokang was instantly excited, what he wanted was Lin Nan's answer.

"Of course, you can take both the Chinese and English versions with you. Let's go back and make an appointment with the legendary and universal people, let's discuss the investment share of Lin Nan Pictures and your specific ......"

"Ladong, wait a minute."

Lin Nan shouted to stop expressionlessly, which caught Laa Kang off guard, didn't he agree?

"What's the problem?"

Lin Nan picked up the two scripts on the table and looked up at La Companion.

"It's okay if you want me to take over "The Great Wall", but there are a few important things that must be clearly stated in advance, and even written in black and white into the contract."

Lin Nan's tone was firm and unquestionable.

La Baokang subconsciously frowned, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

"I want the right to delete the script, I want the right to edit the film, I want the absolute casting right...... I want 100% control of the crew......"

Looking at La, whose expression was getting stiffer and stiffer, Lin Nan smiled:

"Ladong, you better talk to Legend and Universal about my request first, if they agree, I can take over "The Great Wall"."

"I won't bother you, I'll go back first, waiting for your good news. In addition, Wang Zhonglei and the others are still waiting outside to see you......"

After a while, Lapakang shook his head helplessly, "You have a lot of business. Okay, you go back first, I'll communicate with that side. ”

"Ladong, see you later."

……

What Lin Nan didn't know was that when he stayed in La's office, the gossip on the Internet had already spread, and the film and television industry was in the spotlight.

"Huayi, Bona, LeTV and many other film and television companies have gathered in China Film."

"In the morning, director Lin Nan appeared in China Film and stayed for a long time, suspected of coming to ...... because of the movie "The Great Wall""

"Looking at the Chinese film industry, Director Lin is undoubtedly a strong contender for the director of the Sino-US co-production film "The Great Wall"!"

……

At this point in time, any wind and grass will be magnified countless times, not to mention that what is said in the gossip news is so reasonable.

Countless companies and actors in the circle, in line with the attitude of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go, and rather believing what they have or not, have all set their eyes on Lin Nan!
