Chapter 259 "The Great Robbery"
After many years, Zhang Yimou once again auditions for actors.
In the eyes of ordinary art students, this is a good opportunity to reach the top in one step.
No one will forget how Zhang Ziyi became famous back then.
She is an inconspicuous ordinary performance student in the 96th level of the Central Academy of Drama.
Even in the eyes of the head teacher Chang Li, Zhang Ziyi can only be considered a middle-class qualification.
But luck is really important sometimes!
Zhang Yimou chose her, so he has today's international chapter.
In the past two days, several art schools in the capital have become very lively.
The registration time for this year's art exam has not yet come, but many art exam candidates have arrived from all over the country in advance.
School students and art candidates all flock to Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.
Because Zhang Yimou would go to these two academies in person to choose some amateurs as candidates for the male and female protagonists of "The Love of Hawthorn Tree".
Although it is only the first round of primary elections, no one is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy provided all conveniences for Zhang Yimou.
This is the treatment of a great director.
...
"Oh, I don't know when I can have such preferential treatment as Director Zhang?"
Lu Yang sighed sourly.
He sat far away from Lin Nan and Guo Ban, which was convenient for not interfering with each other during editing.
"Then I guess I'll have to wait for the next life." Guo Fan joked.
"Aren't you?"
Lu Yang smiled and retorted, then subconsciously looked at Lin Nan.
"Director Lin is absolutely fine.
If you open a new movie and have such an audition, the treatment given by Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy is definitely no worse than Director Zhang.
I, Guo Fan, may be given at most a classroom, haha..."
Lin Nan was also amused.
"Even if there is no chance, I can't learn Director Zhang's trick. I prefer to use mature actors to save worry."
It is said that Zhang Yimou is very good at coaching new actors, but that is too much energy.
Lin Nan has only experienced it once, that is Jing Tian in "The Mars Rescue".
He still remembers that sourness.
Thinking about the scene at that time, Lin Nan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
…………
"Avatar"'s box office reached 1.24 billion.
Except for theaters, all industry production companies hope that it will be released immediately.
Lin Nan heard Han Sanping say that the above had issued a notice and asked "Avatar" to be screened in the mainland.
In this case, the day before the release, it received a box office of 20 million, which was simply terrifying.
The wolf was driven out and the sheep began to come out to eat grass.
"Confucius", starring Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xun, is the first to be released.
The first day's box office was 9 million.
This made a lot of industry insiders breathe a sigh of relief. This number is normal!
The next day, the Hollywood movie "Agent Next Door" starring Cheng Long was released, with 5.1 million on the first day.
This made the domestic movies later more reassuring, and felt like they were doing it again!
The domestic movie that had been silent for more than twenty days instantly became "lively and energetic".
All kinds of publicity emerged, especially those films that will be released in February.
What kung fu blockbuster "Su Qier", "Emperor Yiwei", love blockbuster "The City of Love", nostalgic comedy "Happy Event in Flower Field 2010", action blockbuster "Soldiers"...
I don’t know if the producers and promotional parties of these movies are embarrassed, but there are boos on the Internet anyway.
After seeing the blockbusters, the slogans of these domestic movies always give the audience a feeling of infuse water, which is very fake.
...
Among the four movies of Lin Nan Films, "Lost in Thailand" is the simplest plot and the lowest cost.
More than 4 months have passed since the preparations.
"Director Lin, I've finished the filming here."
When Xu Zheng called Lin Nan to tell the news, the latter was stunned for a moment.
It’s been a complete plan and it’s only been filming for about twenty days. Is it done?
However, Lin Nan immediately thought of the plot of this movie, so he didn't say anything.
Twenty days, there is no problem
"Then come back, I'll have someone prepare a final banquet for you."
Many media are paying attention to several films by Lin Nan Film.
The first time the filming of "Lost in Thailand" was announced, there was news online.
"Actor Xu Zheng, director's debut work "Lost in the Road", will be completed today."
"Lin Nan Films, the small-budget movie "Lost in the Road" has been filmed, and Wang Baoqiang will play a migrant worker again!"
"This is a comedy about all kinds of ridiculous and non-interesting things on the way home from the Spring Festival travel rush..."
...
At the end of the festival, Wang Baoqiang toasted several times, and all of them were liquor. This should have been influenced by Huayi.
"Director Lin, I respect you, you can do whatever you want."
Lin Nan smiled and took a sip of red wine.
He suddenly remembered that Liu Yifei had reminded him before that he should not drink when he was asking him to socialize alone, and he looked quite fierce at that time.
"Director Lin, I'll give you a cup too. There are also Director Guo and Director Lu."
Xu Jian had a glass of wine and drank it all in one go. It seemed that he was a decisive person.
The next day, Xu Zheng got the color of the sky.
Everyone who comes here for the first time will be shocked by the scene in front of you.
It is a large number of machinery and equipment, and dozens of nearly hundreds of technicians.
Xu Zheng saw many cards with the names of the movies written on them, standing in different areas.
These are all projects that Tiangong Color has received, and they are not big.
Some employees brought Xu Zheng to the area where they specially edited the movie's later stages, and Lin Nan and others were here.
"Director Lin."
"Here you go to sit opposite Luyang. It should be useful to have two editors, right?"
"Enough, I can do it myself." Xu Zheng smiled.
In the afternoon of that day, the later stage of "Lost in the Road" also began.
Lin Nan has already started to consider schedule issues, how to arrange four movies most appropriately.
He felt that he had to look for Han Sanping.
...
Xing Aina called and wanted to invite Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to have dinner at home.
This was quite sudden.
Lin Nan felt that something should be happening, so he didn't refuse.
It just so happened that Miss Liu had just been idle these two days.
When Lin Nan returned to the villa, Liu Yifei had been waiting for a long time.
When I was in Hengdian, I wore the down jacket with jeans and short boots on the lower body. This combination is really casual.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The girl opened the car door and got into the passenger seat. She was carrying a gift box in her hand.
"What?"
"Sister Xing likes to eat dessert."
Lin Nan shook his head, he was really familiar with it.
He drove all the way to Ning Hao's house. He was a little curious. He called himself and Liu Yifei over today. Isn't it really just a meal, right?
When I arrived at Ninghao's villa, I saw him walking around the yard with his fat son in his arms. The big golden chain around his neck shone with golden light in the sun.
"You guys are a bit slow. My wife is cooking by herself." Ning Hao complained.
Lin Nan wanted to retort, but after hearing this, he stopped talking.
Liu Yifei looked at the little guy in Ning Hao's arms, her eyes shining.
She touched the child's face with her finger, "Call Auntie..."
The little guy stared at Liu Yifei with black eyes, just laughing, but not speaking.
"Like children? Come to Lin Nan for it, haha..."
Ning Hao's words made Liu Yifei blush.
"Let's go, come in with me, and wait for you two here."
...
Xing Ai was awesome, with a large table of dishes, all made by her.
Lin Nan guessed right, it was true that it was for dinner, and it was true that something happened.
"I asked you to help me read the script of "No Man's Land" before, but I didn't listen to you at that time, but it turned out to be like this..."
As soon as Ning Hao came up, he was even more sensational.
"After the meal, help him read the new script." Xing Aina said with a smile.
"That sister's meal is not cheap." Lin Nan joked.
Liu Yifei had already eaten beside her, looking at the fun.
There was no serious matter at the dinner table. More than half an hour later, Lin Nan followed Ning Hao to the study.
Liu Yifei and Xing Aina were chatting in the living room.
"Director Ning, what script is this time?"
As soon as Lin Nan finished asking, Ning Hao handed over the thing.
A script that is a little thinner than "No Man's Land".
Lin Nan looked up at Ning Hao. The latter's expression was a little serious and helpless.
"Look, give me some advice."
When I said this, I could hear that Ning Hao was a little unconfident. "No Man's Land" hit him too hard.
Lin Nan began to read the script and was inexplicably familiar with it.
It is another single-line narrative movie, exactly the same as "No Man's Land", but the style is also black humor of "Stone" and "Racing".
The story is not long and there are many details.
Lin Nan could see that the script was a bit restrained, and it was very similar to the thinking of "No Man's Land", but it was exactly the opposite.
The difference between this script and "No Man's Land" lies in the direction of the ending. The two movies seem to be talking about the opposite, and this is moving closer to "correct".
"Why don't you have a name?" Lin Nan asked,
"It's not marked. The name of this script is "Golden Mystery", or "Golden Robbery"..."
Lin Nan's eyes widened for a moment, okay, he was just lost in the authorities.
"It should be no problem. After all, the male protagonist has gone from a gangster to a glorious 'revolutionary'. Don't the men like this? Haha..."
Ningha's face was a little dark.
“You mean I surrendered to them?
Well, I surrendered, those old people.”
"Haha, this is something you admit, it's not my business.
However, this script is indeed good, I suggest you polish it, it's a bit rough."
Ning Hao nodded, "Well, this is just the third draft. The plot will not change anymore. Just refine the lines. Then I will make a budget and you can invest a little..."
"Okay, then I'll vote a little bit." Lin Nan agreed.
When the two left the study, they saw Xing Ai and Liu Yifei on the sofa, teasing the child. The child who was less than one year old was still quite cute.
"How about it?"
Xing Aina asked hurriedly when she saw the two of them coming out.
"No problem, I'll pull him onto the boat, haha." Ning Hao joked.
"It's fine, I will be the producer of this movie."
Xing Ai looked a little excited. She just talked about this with Liu Yifei.
"She saw Yifei as the producer of "Embroidered Spring Sword", and felt that her senior was still behind and she had a little bit of light..."
...
Chapter completed!
