Chapter 114 Lu Chuan Is Looking for Trouble

It will take some time for all procedures to be completed.

On this trip to Hollywood, Lin Nan's most important thing is finally over.

The formalities, signatures, etc. were all taken care of, and Tom and the lawyer were responsible for the finishing work.

As long as Liu Yifei finishes filming, the group can return to China together.

In the studio of New Line, Liu Yifei and several leading actors were taking pictures there, while Lin Nan was sitting on the edge chatting with Liu Xiaoli.

The person in charge of New Line came over to say hello, told Lin Nan that the filming work would be over soon, and congratulated him on the success of "Insidious".

"You're welcome, our "Journey to the Center of the Earth" will still be a success."

"Haha, yes, I hope our movie will be a big hit at the box office."

Liu Yifei walked over with light steps.

"Lin Nan, mom, it's over."

"Lin, Crystal, I hope we can collaborate again after this film."

"Thanks."

The person in charge of the new line walked towards the crowd on the other side.

"Sissi, aunt, let's go back to the hotel. We can book tickets." Lin Nan stood up and said.

"Okay, it's time to go back." Liu Xiaoli continued.

…

On the plane, Liu Xiaoli shook her head unconsciously when her daughter talked about "Latent" and praised Lin Nan.

After a flight of more than ten hours, it was morning again when we arrived in the capital.

Someone had already been waiting to pick them up at the airport, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's mother and daughter separated.

"Lin Nan, are you busy with something?" Liu Yifei asked.

"You girl, he must have a job." Mother Liu looked at her daughter.

"I have to go back to the company, there are a lot of things to do."

"Okay then, I'll call you Changchang to play."

"Playing? You're going to work on your album soon, and you still want to play?"

Liu Xiaoli subconsciously lectured.

After watching Liu Yifei and her daughter get into the car and leave, Lin Nan and his employees walked to the company's commercial vehicle.

…

"Director Lin, I have been receiving invitations to events these days..."

"I'm not here, what kind of event are you going to attend? These people are really thieves..."

These organizers are also interesting. Even if they know that the person is not around, they will send you a post, and then add a sentence in the promotional copy to invite such and such.

"But you might want to consider this recently."

"Which one?"

"It's from New Film Alliance, their 10th anniversary celebration."

Hearing this name, Lin Nan had to take it seriously. It was a company jointly established by China Film, Capital Film and dozens of theaters. No one in the film industry would refute it.

"If I had known, I would have come back two days late." Lin Nan muttered.

After looking through the news these days, Lin Nan was convinced by the Tang Dynasty and arranged for Lao Hu to join the crew of "The Yang Family". He also took time to participate in the awards ceremony of the Music Chart. This work arrangement is really full, Shiquan is a worker. .

At the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, a blog post by Qin Hailu caused a huge commotion. Fans should stay close to the audience and remain superior. The Hong Kong Film Awards chose the latter.

Huayi held a special press conference. "Baby Project" and "The Night Banquet" were both targeted at the National Day Golden Week. It felt like their own films were dividing the market.

Lin Nan originally chose May Day for "Time Cruise", but the final result was that there were no other blockbusters in this schedule.

Han Sanping is very good. The distribution and exhibition company of China Film Group announced directly last week that "Mission: Impossible 3", which was originally scheduled to be released globally on May 5, has been postponed domestically.

"Level 1" and "The Da Vinci Code" are also scheduled for May 11 and May 17.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is arranged for Lin Nan's "Time Cruise".

"Although this arrangement can easily put me under pressure from public opinion, it feels really good."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. .

However, "The Da Vinci Code" can be like "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and its domestic release time is synchronized with the world.

The Capital Hotel is the venue for the New Film Alliance's 10th anniversary celebration. It's less than a month until "Time Cruiser" is released. Lin Nan has to give the theater the respect.

Lin Nan originally thought about driving there alone, but after being reminded by an employee, she realized that there would also be a red carpet and there would be many reporters, so it would look too casual.

Sure enough, when the next day arrived, Lin Nan saw that the scale was no worse than the premiere of a blockbuster movie, with all the stars in the three fields of film, television and music present.

The two bureaus of culture and film are either chief or deputy, and Director Yang of China Film and Television and the leaders of Radio and Television are also there.

Lin Nan followed the etiquette lady and walked in. There were familiar faces and unfamiliar faces. There were really many people, including many foreigners.

You can see the circle everywhere. The leaders gather around and talk and laugh. There are at most some film and television company bosses and big-name artists.

The rest of the stars are far away, each has its own circle, and only a handful of people can travel between different circles.

"Lin Nan, come here."

Lin Nan couldn't avoid everyone's attention when he entered the venue, and Director Yang of China Film Group shouted.

"Hello, Director Yang, hello all leaders."

"I thought you couldn't catch up."

"Director Yang, don't mention it. I came back yesterday. If it had been a little later, I might still be on the plane today."

Lin Nan replied with a smile. Today, the first deputy, Han Sanping, did not come. Instead, he changed the number of people, so he knew how important this celebration was.

After chatting with the leaders for a few words, Lin Nan moved away. The main topic of conversation was not suitable for Lin Nan to get involved in.

"Director Yang really takes care of you and even asks you to go over there and clean your face."

Ning Hao was a little envious. He was surrounded by actors and companies he knew.

"I only know Mr. Yang, I can't tell the others apart." Lin Nan said.

More people came to greet him, knowing that Lin Nan had just returned from New Line.

The performance on the stage began, and the singers worked very hard in such occasions.

"Director Lin."

Zhang Ziyi held the wine glass, "Congratulations on the big sale of "Insidious".

"I only have a small share, but thank you anyway."

"Now Director Lin has successfully cooperated with Lionsgate on two movies, and the one on New Line is about to be released. Do you have any new plans for Hollywood work later?"

This time Lin Nan stayed there for a short time. The last time he stayed for so long, he only brought back a movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

The singers on the stage were loud, but many people still heard what Zhang Ziyi had just said, and their eyes turned over.

"I really don't have any plans. This time I mainly went to talk about the distribution, and by the way, I waited for the box office data from Lionsgate."

Lin Nan evaded.

"Everyone is waiting for Director Lin's new film there, and many actors are eagerly looking forward to it..."

Zhang Ziyi's words were very nice.

When Liu Yifei got the role of "Journey to the Center of the Earth", people in the industry said that Lin Nan was unreliable.

"I don't know when I will go. If I have the chance, I will tell everyone."

"That's great. I will try to get it when the time comes, haha."

Zhang Ziyi wanted Lin Nan to say this, and the latter also knew her intention.

This person is quite capable. She has won some awards and has been in Hollywood. She has received announcements and hype, but movies are a business after all, and they depend on the box office.

But she really has no movie box office to show off. Her current position is precarious. After "Geisha", she can hardly get good resources in the foreign market.

...

At the dinner, Lin Nan's table was a bit interesting.

Ning Hao, Lin Nan, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, as well as Lu Chuan, Wang Zhonglei, and people from the two theaters.

Across the table, Mr. Wang talked to Lin Nan about the latter's and Lionsgate's movies, "These two movies really made a lot of money, dozens of times the profit."

For this, Lin Nan could only smile and agree, after all, this was the fact, and everyone agreed.

But who knew that Lu Chuan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and suddenly said, "Big directors should still make serious movies. No matter how much the director of Lionsgate who made horror movies makes, he can only mess around in this niche field, can't get on the stage, can't get on the table..."

This is really harsh, the script is provided by Lin Nan, this guy must have made his brain stupid by filming Tibetan antelopes, right?

Wang Zhonglei's face was a little bad, and Lu Chuan's words were also hitting him in the face, but he just said that he was very envious.

Lu Chuan seemed to be unaware of the atmosphere at the table and was still talking. Ge You couldn't stand it anymore, and the sound of coughing sounded, this guy just didn't stop.

Lin Nan felt like he had eaten a fly. If he didn't fight back, he might be a joke today.

"It's okay. At least no one has bothered Director Wen Zairen and me, saying we plagiarized..."

When Lin Nan said this, everyone at the table fell silent. Ning Hao was like a spectator, even a little excited, almost handing him a watermelon.

"You, what do you mean?"

Lu Chuan's face was livid at this moment, and he squinted at Lin Nan.

"Okay, okay, eat a few bites quickly..."

Wang Zhonglei was also in a headache. After all, Lu Chuan was one of his own, but he was too young and inexperienced. He had been fought by Jiang Wen before, and he called to complain when he couldn't win.

Lin Nan ignored Wang Zhonglei's attempt to smooth things over.

"The meaning is very clear. Didn't Director Lu get sued at the end of last month? Others have been shooting documentaries since 1991. It took ten years to shoot, but it's similar to your work in 2004. How can he be the plaintiff? You should be the plaintiff."

Lin Nan did not leave any room for him. We are all young people. I am younger than you. It's okay to be angry.

"You, you are talking nonsense."

Lu Chuan couldn't find the words for a while, but he didn't want to bear it. No one has talked to him like this in the past two years.

"Nonsense?

The plot, conception, creativity, scene, atmosphere, visual background, lens composition, and even the dialogue are exactly the same!

When the film school was screening, more than one student said this. Do you think everyone doesn't watch documentaries?"

Lin Nan spoke loudly and was very excited.

But this is also the truth. When the film was screened, almost all the students in the directing department had this question, why Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" is almost the same as "Me and the Tibetan Antelope" that they watched before.

Lu Chuan panted, stared at Lin Nan, and did not speak again, but stood up and left.

"Why are you quarreling over a meal, haha..."

Wang Zhonglei said.

The others were still immersed in Lin Nan's words, and only reacted now.

Fortunately, there were many people and noise in the hall, and only this table and the adjacent tables were paying attention, otherwise it would really be an accident.

"Lin Zi, you are very good at scolding. I just saw that guy looked like he was a fool. If he picked a fight with me, I would scold him too."

Ning Hao said with a smile, not paying attention to the eyes of others.
