The call was from Ye Ning, saying that he had something serious to talk about.

But he neither came to the company to talk, nor did he talk on the phone, but wanted to ask Lin Nan to have coffee. The name is beautiful: work and old things are not wrong.

Lin Nan thought for a moment, and then agreed. After signing some anxious documents, I drove away from the company.

On the advertising spaces of commercial buildings on both sides of the road, you can see many huge promotional posters of "Avengers 2".

This Marvel superhero movie will land in theaters nationwide in a week.

I heard that the mainland is one of the latest film markets in the world to release this blockbuster, so domestic fans have been complaining about China Film on the Internet for a long time.

When he saw the single poster of Black Widow, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of Ryan Reynolds; It was because of the latter that he met Scarlett Johansson, and then he had another friend.

"Well, I remembered. Tom seems to say that Ryan's "Deadpool" was launched last month? Tsk, this is another sci-fi blockbuster! ”

After parking the car, Lin Nan was invited into the exclusive elevator by the waiter and went straight to the thirty-sixth floor.

Ye Ning was wearing casual clothes, which was not at all like the general manager and vice president of Wanda Pictures in the past, and he looked very casual at this time.

"Director Lin, it's all right."

"Thank you. Mr. Ye is really anxious, I just came back, you just came back to me for coffee. ”

Lin Nan sat opposite Ye Ning with a smile, he chose this place very well today.

The coffee table is less than four meters from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the box, and the view and view from the 36th floor are refreshing.

"I know that Director Lin has just come back, and I don't want to bother, but in terms of work, it should be sooner rather than later."

Ye Ning said and made a gesture of please. The waitress had already served coffee and a few delicate pastries.

"Then Ye is always ready to get straight to the point? Or do you want to see the scenery first? ”

Lin Nan glanced out the window and laughed.

In his eyes, Ye Ning asked him to come out for coffee, which was nothing more than a movie.

As for what exactly is related to the movie, this is uncertain.

"Look at the scenery and talk about business, no conflict."

Ye Ning took over the conversation and smiled very elegantly. Immediately afterwards, he looked directly at Lin Nan and got to the point:

"Director Lin, is there any possibility that "Looking for the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown" will be released?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan was not too surprised. It is completely reasonable that Wanda can fight this idea.

Because these two movies are recognized by the industry, Lin Nan Pictures is the two core "blockbusters" this year.

One is the top IP and the full support of Tiangong Color, and the other is a commercial film directed by Lin Nan himself, and neither of these films has a fixed distribution business.

"Guaranteed? How much guarantee does Wanda want to open? ”

Lin Nan asked with interest. Wanda, Huayi, and Bona are still different.

""Looking for the Dragon" can be guaranteed to be released at the box office of 1.5 billion, and "Detective Chinatown" is also 1.5 billion! The latter has a 46% account sharing ratio. ”

Lin Nan nodded, I have to admit that Wanda is still quite courageous!

"It does sound tempting."

"What does Director Lin mean?"

Ye Ning smiled, waiting for Lin Nan's answer. But for some reason, there was not much expectation on his face.

"Both numbers are very sincere. But, I want to give it another try. ”

Taking a sip of coffee, Lin Nan's tone was very light, and at the same time very resolute.

"So? Director Lin is really courageous. Then forget it. Ye Ning smiled and picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

When Lin Nan heard this, he raised his head in disbelief, he was very surprised by Ye Ning's attitude.

Although he will not choose to release it with a guarantee, because that is a sign of lack of confidence in the box office of the movie.

But Ye Ning's behavior of simply exposing it neatly and not fighting for it at all after being rejected is really abnormal.

Ye Ning didn't care about Lin Nan's gaze, but continued to smile and say to himself:

"Today's business is over, but unfortunately it was not negotiated. Next, talk to Director Lin about the old days...... Director Lin, we've known each other for 10 years, right, do I remember? ”

Lin Nan nodded, "I saw it for the first time in January 05, when my "Hidden in the Dust" was rushing for the award, and Mr. Ye had just become the vice president of Wanda Cinemas. ”

"yes, it's been ten years in a blink of an eye. Director Lin has gone from winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the first time to now the Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Oscar...... In the past 10 years, it has not stopped, and the cause has become bigger and bigger......

In contrast, I seem to have reached the end of my life, and I have been stagnant since a few years ago. ”

Ye Ning paused when he said this. He raised his coffee and saluted Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, we have been old friends for many years. I hope to always be friends in the future, no matter where we are. To you. ”

Lin Nan was a little stunned for a while, what is this for? Why is it that all of a sudden, you are still sad?

But he didn't think much about it, he touched it with the cup, and Ye Ning deliberately lowered it.

For the next hour or so, the two were really reminiscing, mixed with a lot of topics about movies, markets, gossip and industry development.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Ye Ning separated downstairs.

Just after two traffic lights while driving, Lin Nan suddenly reacted, and was very shocked for a while:

"Huh? There is no such thing as striving for guaranteed issuance, and there is no way to move forward, to reminisce about the past, to be in the future, and to friends...... Did he have something else on his mind? Maintaining my connections? ”

…………

The photos of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang shopping have been posted on the Internet by entertainment reporters, and quickly jumped to the headlines and hot searches.

In many photos, the two people who are in a good mood are also facing the camera and raising their scissor hands.

Many insiders and netizens are making fun of Liu Yifei, saying that she has taken Shu Chong crookedly, as evidenced by the gestures when taking pictures.

Lin Nan did not join in the excitement to find Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan, but went back to the company directly.

After all, there are still a lot of things to deal with, especially with "Love in Seattle 2".

Now that the movie script has been reviewed, the funding is definitely fine, and the next step is the casting before the start of filming.

"Director Xue thinks that Zhao Liying is not suitable, and she doesn't have Yang Mi's ......"

"What's that?"

"Atmospheric, wild, and most importantly, the original team!"

Hearing Yue Jun say this, Lin Nan could only smile speechlessly, "Our Professor Xue seems to be really firm in his mind." ”

"In fact, it is understandable that this is a commercial film after all. Commercial series all over the world give priority to the use of the original cast, and then consider how to achieve a box office breakthrough on the premise of ensuring the stability of box office results.

Otherwise, how dare Donnie Yen open his mouth after the second part of the "Ip Man" series? ”

Well, Yue Jun's words made Lin Nan really unable to refute for a while, because the market is indeed like this.

"Drama, high salary, acting ...... She really doesn't consider these key points? Lin Nan asked Yue Jun.

Xue Xiaolu is different from Lu Yang and Guo Wan. To a certain extent, the former is one of the banners of the domestic director circle.

That is, a well-known female director, senior screenwriter, and Nortel professor in China. is Lin Nan's teacher and friend, and the two sides are equal.

In other words, Xue Xiaolu has no shortage of contacts and resources.

"I don't know. Then it depends on how Director Xue asks Yang Mi and how the latter gives in.

But it can be seen that Director Xue has considerable ambitions for the box office of this movie, so he insists on using the original team.

On the other hand, the company and Yang Mi broke up peacefully, and there was no contradiction, right? Lin Dao. ”

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun, he really didn't know what to say, and the latter's analysis made sense.

"Connections and favors are everywhere. You inform Director Xue that you can cast.

If the heroine decides to use Yang Mi, then don't have a situation of rolling drama. It's okay to stay in the crew honestly for two months...... I'm still young, and that face can still ......."

"Well, I see, Director Lin."

Looking at Yue Jun's back as he walked out of the office, Lin Nan was quite emotional. It seems that even after leaving the company, Yang Mi also maintains her friendship with Yue Jun with all her heart.

…………

Following.

It's already May, and all colleges and universities are ushering in the graduation season of the year, and Nortel is no different.

Many young actors and stars in the circle who graduated this year have appeared on relevant hot searches and topics.

For example, Zhou Dongyu, a girl, and Dan Nazha, the little flower of the Tang Dynasty...... Another example is Mo Xiaobei in "Wulin Gaiden", there are still a lot of people.

But what attracted the most attention in the circle was the Mou girl Zhou Dongyu, because Wang Jinghua's picking culture made an announcement:

The three-year contract between Shi Wei Culture and actor Zhou Dongyu expired, and the company failed to reach an intention to renew the contract. Now respect the actor Zhou Dongyu's own opinions, the two parties will not renew the contract, and there are no contradictions and disputes. I hope that each will cherish it. ”

is different from when Zhu Yawen left Wang Jinghua's company before, the two sides sincerely said goodbye and blessed each other; Zhou Dongyu's departure this time can be described as very official and formal.

Of course, Zhou Dongyu's Weibo reply is also very concise: "Thank you Sister Hua for your care over the past three years...... From now on, welcome a new beginning. ”

Many people in the circle think that when this girl signed the 3-year contract, she had a very "idea":

Because when you graduate, that is, when the contract expires, you are just waiting to sell and choose a new company for yourself!

In the morning, Lin Nan repeatedly told people to arrange the finale banquet of "Detective Chinatown" tomorrow, and then went home.

Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were petting the cat in the garden, chatting about something.

The moment she saw Lin Nan, Miss Liu immediately beckoned, "Lin Nan, come and see, they actually made a sequel after 20 years......"

Just half an hour ago, Hong Kong media and mainland media reposted Liu Zhenwei's company's announcement and reported it.

After a lapse of 20 years, director Liu Zhenwei once again wrote the script and directed it himself, following "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying", the third film in the series, namely "Journey to the West 3 Finale", was officially established. Recently, there will be an open casting for the film and television industry. ”

Director Liu Zhenwei was interviewed and bluntly said: Over the years, fans have over-interpreted "Journey to the West" too much. In "The End of Journey to the West 3", he will solve all the doubts of the first two movies for the audience one by one. At the same time, director Liu Zhenwei once again said that this will also be "Journey to the West" from another angle......"

It is reported that the storyline of the movie "Journey to the West 3 Finale" will continue from "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries"...... It has now been confirmed that Xing Ye will not star in ......"

……

After reading the news on the phone, Lin Nan smashed his mouth and joked:

"Well, that's what Wu Yan and Xie Nan want to repay, look forward to it."

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were dumbfounded.

"The two of them acted in "Journey to the West 3"? That's hilarious, isn't it? ”

"I can't imagine, who is 'Wolf Warrior' going to play?" Shu Zhan laughed.

Lin Nan doesn't know what to say about this so-called "Journey to the West 3 Finale", but it is certain that since the official public establishment of this movie today, it is destined to attract the attention of the industry and the whole network!

Because Zhou Xingchi Zhuyu is in front, no one will be able to surpass it.

But this movie and the leading actors who took it will definitely be blessed by the fame of Zhou Xingchi's two "Journey to the West", which will be followed and hotly discussed by the whole network, and will have a congenital advantage in public opinion.

"Oops, I remember that Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West" was scolded countless times by Teacher Six, so this time?"

Shu Zhan squeezed his eyebrows and began to mourn silently for the actors.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei glanced at each other when they heard this, and they couldn't help but smile.

There is no solution to this problem, because the "crusade" of Teacher Six will definitely not be able to escape. Sooner or later, he will definitely fire.

But these are all afterwords, anyway, the Internet is already lively at this time, and the whole network is hotly discussing "Journey to the West 3 Ending".

Facts have proved that the gimmick of "Journey to the West" can still make many netizens and fans believe in Liu Zhenwei again.

It's just that everyone regrets that they can't see Zhou Xingchi's "Supreme Treasure" again.

Until noon, the film and television entertainment headlines on the Internet and the hot search on Weibo were still the things of "Journey to the West 3". You can imagine how much this movie is looking forward to!

……

Nortel's 65th anniversary celebration of the "Outstanding Alumni Invitation" was sent to home by the people of Red Star Dock.

In order to ensure that all the people on the invitation list can arrive in October, Nortel really took great pains to send invitations half a year in advance.

At this time, Lin Nan knew that there was such a thing.

Liu Yifei hummed and chirped to explain the problem, and she agreed.

It's just that I didn't expect the school to be a chicken thief, so I directly sent two invitations to Hongxingwu, ignoring Lin Nan nakedly.

"You didn't take me seriously at all, did you? Is the family status so determined? ”

Lin Nan pretended to be speechless and looked at Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu's little expressions are quite numerous, and she is very arrogant: "I guess it was told by Mr. Jiang, he thinks I speak better than you, and I have a lot of vision, hehe......"

"Mm-hmm, Sissi can be in charge." Shu advocated on the side to support his girlfriend.

"I have to talk to Lao Jiang about it, and he actually belittles my family status behind my back."

"It's not depreciating, it's the younger brother of the family!" Liu Yifei emphasized with a smile.
