Chapter 100 Zhao Yanzi! A Fellow Disciple?

When Lin Nan left China Film Group, he took the film list with him.

Generally, the scheduling and release date of imported films are controlled by the higher authorities. Many local works, especially excellent ones, can be taken care of. Lin Nan has a good background.

Han Sanping said that "The Promise" has been arranged to be screened in Los Angeles. It is not a public screening, but it is arranged to be eligible to participate in the Oscar individual award competition. The screening time is still unclear.

Lin Nan was very puzzled by their nonsensical operation. The Golden Globe nomination is the 102-minute version of the film, and the version representing the mainland in the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film competition is the 121-minute version. Do they really think the Oscar people are fools?

"The Palme d'Or is great!" Lin Nan was very emotional.

Sitting in the car, Lin Nan heard on the radio that CCTV-10 would produce a director's album for Director Chen, and it would be two episodes.

The first episode mainly talks about the records before and after the premiere of "The Promise", and the second episode focuses on reviewing Chen Kaige's artistic creation and personal experience.

Lin Nan knew very well that with Chen Kaige's reputation, a failed movie was nothing, and even if he failed several more movies, it would not shake his position.

He changed the radio channel, which was obviously an entertainment gossip channel, but it talked about the postgraduate entrance examination...

Lin Nan's major was feature film directing, and he had to hurry up to complete the procedures.

What made him uncomfortable was that he found that he might be classmates with some people.

This year, Beijing Film Academy has opened a new admission for the Master of Arts degree.

More than half a month ago, when Lin Nan was still in Sanya preparing to finish "Time and Space Cruise", the first round of cultural professional examinations for the Master of Arts admission had already begun.

Zhao Yanzi and Huang Xiaoming were the first batch of candidates in the first year of the establishment of the Master of Arts in China.

"What a pit." Lin Nan was a little speechless.

Master of Arts graduates only have a degree certificate, unlike his traditional feature film directing major, which has both a graduation certificate and a degree certificate.

"From this point of view, it is very likely that I will be in the same school with the surname Zhao?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang is now the head of the department and one of the two tutors of the feature film directing major. It is said that he has been confirmed to be one of the three tutors of the Master of Arts.

In Lin Nan's memory, the surname Zhao seemed to have passed the postgraduate entrance examination and was a master of arts in directing.

"She is not as stupid as she was in "Return of the Pearl". She is a very smart person."

Lin Nan felt that it would be better not to deal with this person in the future, and to avoid it as much as possible.

The radio said that the reporter had learned from Huang Xiaoming's assistant that the other party had passed the cultural major examination and was only waiting for the performance major examination.

After thinking about it, Lin Nan still made a phone call.

At this time, the set of "Night Banquet" was taking a break in the afternoon. The female assistant took her mobile phone and hurried to the lounge.

"Xiaoming, there is a call."

Huang Xiaoming was chatting with Zhou Xun and others when the assistant called him.

"Who is it? The call came from the crew?"

Huang Xiaoming was also very curious. It stands to reason that he should contact the company or agent for business. His acquaintances knew about his work in the crew.

"Hurry up and answer it, and we will continue to talk later." Zhou Xun said with a rustling voice and a smile.

"It's just marked with a word Lin."

As soon as the assistant opened his mouth, Huang Xiaoming knew.

"How rare, I haven't had a proper phone call with him yet, haha."

Huang Xiaoming hung up the phone and walked aside.

"Congratulations, I saw that you passed the first round of the Master of Arts exam." Lin Nan smiled and congratulated.

"Oh, I thought you had a play appointment with me, it turned out to be this.

Yes, I passed the first round, and after passing the professional exam, we can be on the same level again, Director Lin."

Huang Xiaoming was also very happy, the news just came out two days ago.

"I don't have anything serious to do, I just heard it on the radio, and called to congratulate you." Lin Nan replied.

"Thank you Director Lin, you don't know, for those 30 points of English, I hired a tutor a few months in advance..."

Lin Nan got the confirmed information from Huang Xiaoming, the tutor Zhao Yanzi applied for was really Tian Zhuangzhuang!

"What you fear is really what will come true?"

Lin Nan felt that there was a high probability that the media would report that they were from the same school in the future, so he was helpless.

…

After returning to school, Lin Nan saw some media gathered around the Graduate School. The office area was not far away, but there were more people gathered around the Graduate School office area at this time, and the teacher on duty was blocked by a group of reporters.

"In this industry, there is really no such thing as holidays."

Lin Nan complained and walked away quickly.

Zhao Yanzi is too popular. So many media are chasing after her postgraduate entrance examination, and she is still holding on to it. She is very good at hype.

Turning on the computer, Lin Nan thought about the release of "Time and Space Cruise". Although the movie is still in post-production, some things have to be done in advance.

Lionsgate still has a contract with him, and New Line is also a new partner, so it is difficult to choose.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Nan still sent an email to Lionsgate. As the first company in Hollywood to contact him, and with a successful cooperation foundation, it is indeed more suitable than New Line.

Han Sanping pointed out that Lin Nan had told New Line about the introduction of films before. Because it takes some time to produce, it is arranged in the second half of the year. Among the lists negotiated in the past two days, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is included, and the specific time will be determined later.

With the efforts of China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, the film's introduction is almost certain.

Lin Nan saw a piece of data and then realized why Ying Huang was so anxious to talk to Han Sanping about the release of "Time and Space Cruise".

Last year, there were only nine fewer Chinese-language films produced on Hong Kong Island than the year before, but the total box office of these Chinese-language films was 40% less than the year before.

This data can be described as an avalanche.

"It's about to begin!"

Lin Nan knew that Hong Kong movies were really going downhill and that an era was coming to an end.

From the moment it was decided to use Gao Yuanyuan as the third female lead in "Time Cruise", Lin Nan was ready to be publicized.

The promotion of "Baby Project" really promoted Gao Yuanyuan's position.

You can rub against mine, and I can rub against yours, so why not.

With an investment of 130 million Hong Kong dollars and Jackie Chan's fame, Lin Nan was very willing to bring up the name "Time Cruise".

"Buzz buzz..."

Suddenly the phone vibrated.

"Hugo?"

Lin Nan was a little confused. What did he want to do with her?

As soon as it was connected, I heard a brief noise on the other side, and it suddenly became quiet.

"Lao Hu?"

"Lin Nan, Director Lin, are you here these two days? Haha."

"What's going on at school?" Lin Nan asked.

"I'm going to be in the capital for two days to promote my new drama. Do you want to come out and have a party?"

"New drama?"

Lin Nan didn't expect what kind of drama it was for a moment.

"Okay, let's get together. Last time I went to the Magic City, you hosted me. This time it's me."

"By the way, send me your hotel address later."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan searched for it and found out that it was "Flying Immortals".

…

"Yeah! Did you really ask him out?"

A round-faced girl looked at Hu Ge and couldn't believe it. Logically speaking, a great director with this status shouldn't be so easy to talk to?

"I told you, we are friends, and I will introduce you to each other if I have the opportunity."

Hu Ge took charge of everything.

"Then, can I come with you?" the girl asked expectantly.

"should be no problem."

Lin Nan could imagine how angry Chen Kaige was at this time. The results of the annual bad movie selection on Hong Kong Island, which was completely voted by the audience, had come out.

"The Promise" was rated as the first of the four worst movies!

After sending a few emails to Tom, Lin Nan left the dormitory.

His "Time Cruiser" was selected into the list of movies worth looking forward to in 2006, and he suddenly felt much happier.

"Sister Xue, have those reporters left?"

Lin Nan asked as he looked at Xue Xiaolu who was coming towards him.

"Let's go. We are the only ones who are familiar with each other. Other students don't call me sister. Besides, if you ask me about the graduate school of directing department, you won't go and see it yourself."

Xue Xiaolu laughed and joked that she had helped polish Lin Nan's first script, so she had been an acquaintance for a long time.

"If I went there, I would probably be surrounded by reporters asking questions."

"Come on, if you have anything to do, leave quickly. Those reporters are gone by now."

"Okay, I won't disturb you then."

Lin Nan said goodbye with a smile. This senior and teacher in the literature department is a powerful screenwriter. Sooner or later, he will have to embark on the path of director. There is no harm in establishing a good relationship in advance.

The drama "Flying Fairies" is about to premiere, but for the second round of promotion, the crew is also promoting the show in many cities.

The black Mercedes-Benz parked outside the hotel, and Lin Nan made a phone call and went out.

After a while, a man and a woman came out. The woman was fine. She only wore burgundy sunglasses and a baby face. She looked quite suitable, but the man was wrapped a little tightly.

"Here!" Lin Nan recognized Hu Ge and shouted through the car window.

Hu Ge got into the passenger seat and the girl went to the back.

"Let me introduce you to my new drama partner, Lin Yichen, who has helped me a lot."

"Hello, Director Lin."

The woman took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello."

"At this point, let's go have afternoon tea. Following the custom of a Shanghainese like you, how about I treat you to dinner in the evening?"

Lin Nan told him his arrangement.

"Listen to the boss."

…

Towering into the sky, the scenery outside through the glass is a different feeling. In the small private room, the three of them ordered some snacks.

"I'm very grateful to her. She taught me what a real actor is..."

"Haha, is it as exaggerated as you said?" the girl asked with a smile.

Lin Nan felt a little redundant.

While Lin Yichen was going to the bathroom, Lin Nan said more, "You don't have a crush on her, do you?"

Hu Ge looked stunned, "How is that possible? I have someone I like. Just pretend I didn't say it."

Lin Nan decisively grasped the key words, "That's good, I misunderstood, but I'm curious who you are talking about?"

Faced with Lin Nan's gossipy question, Hu Ge smiled and did not answer.

“I’m taking the time to hang out with you today, and I’ll be promoting Feishan City tomorrow.

My schedule is extremely full this year. I have finished all the promotions, I still have urban dramas to shoot, and other dramas to promote. The company also got the remake rights of "The Condor", and I have to join the cast again in the second half of the year. I play Guo Jing..."

Hu Ge kept complaining, but he always sounded satisfied.

…

"Why did I call you Liu Yifei instead of Liu Yifei? Let's forget it. When I was on the set of "Sword and Fairy", I tricked her into saying that I was in my late thirties and asked her to call me Uncle Hu, haha..."

Lin Nan also heard Liu Yifei say about this later. Hu Ge was indeed quite dishonest at that time, it was too damaging.
