Chapter 151 Art Exam, Invitation to Zhou Xun

Now that I'm back, I can't hide from the school's call anymore.

The next morning, Lin Nan waved to Liu Yifei, who got into Liu's mother's car and went back to the martial arts school.

The G-Class started, and Lin Nan set off for Beijing Film Academy. The car radio was talking about the Oscars.

Martin Scorsese is indeed a master, winning both the Best Picture and Best Director awards, but it's a pity that Leo failed again at the last step.

"Lust, Caution" was also completed recently, and the release date is tentatively scheduled for the second half of this year, which is very efficient.

Lin Nan heard the gossip about Zhang Ziyi, and appeared in the audience seats of the game with her foreign boyfriend, with very indecent actions.

The outside of Beijing Film Academy was extremely congested, with so many cars and people that it was completely blocked.

The day after the registration for the art exam was closed, the first round of interviews and the second round of interviews were almost seamlessly connected.

Lin Nan honked the horn, and a road was cleared in front.

"Hey, Director Lin."

The security department was still an old acquaintance, Lin Nan waved and drove into the school gate.

Many art exam students followed Lin Nan's car until they could no longer see it.

"Is Director Lin Nan really back?"

"He won two Silver Bear trophies for Best Director. I wonder if I can be his junior sister..."

The directing department has been very arrogant recently. Two alumni won the Berlin Film Festival, one Golden Bear for Best Film and one Silver Bear for Best Director.

"Where's the trophy? Where's the trophy?"

Old Jiang was like this when he was in undergraduate school.

Now he has been transferred to the graduate school, and he hasn't changed at all.

Lin Nan smiled and said, "I gave it away."

"Who did you give it to? You can give all the trophies to the school. There is plenty of space in the exhibition hall. Hurry up."

"I really gave it away to someone. I gave it to Xixi."

Old Jiang almost fainted. "You, you go and tell the school leaders that Wang Quanan's trophies have been taken and photographed and left in the school history archives..."

"Calm down. It won't cost you any bonus. Is it worth it?"

"I don't care. You can do whatever you want." Old Jiang simply gave up.

When I arrived at Tian Zhuangzhuang's office, he was watching "The Ming Dynasty" on his computer.

"Sit down, have some tea and make it yourself.

This TV series is well made, but unfortunately the ratings are not very good, and not many viewers can understand it."

"Teacher Chen Baoguo's acting skills are beyond reproach, and Teacher Liu's script is also top-notch. This drama may take some time to accumulate before the audience can understand it. It should be a classic."

Lin Nan continued the conversation.

"When will your "Buried Alive" be released?

Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" has been scheduled for March."

"It's sold out to China Film, I can't control these."

Lin Nan said with some sadness. This is the first time that he can't interfere with the movie he made.

"Since you are back, go to the art exam site again. Many former students have been invited back to help with the art exam this year. You shouldn't be busy recently..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, teacher."

He can't escape. The school has really made up its mind to use him as a business card.

As for which major's art exam site he should go to? No need to guess, it must be the acting department that receives the most media attention.

Walking in the academy, Lin Nan is more popular than the dean. If someone greets you, you have to say hello.

The performance department has the most people, and there are several long queues that go around for a long time.

"Who is it? Why are you back?"

Lin Nan saw Wang Luodan at a glance. She and a few familiar faces should be acting with art candidates.

There are also many sophomores and juniors who are maintaining order and calling numbers.

"Come here quickly, the second round is about to start." Wang Luodan rolled her eyes and urged.

Other people present were a little envious. They must have a good relationship with Lin Nan who can talk so casually.

"My TV series is about to start, and I came to the school to promote it, but I was dragged here."

Wang Luodan complained.

"Director Zhao's "Struggle"?"

"Yeah."

"Congratulations, Director Zhao's TV series are very popular."

As he spoke, Lin Nan took the roster next to him. It was a thick book. This was the second test. It seemed that there were indeed many more people this year.

"I'll go in first."

Lin Nan walked into the interview site. A teacher from the acting department waved to him. There were still several vacancies for the examiner position.

Lin Nan walked over with a smile. After sitting down, he took a look at the five candidates who were preparing for the interview.

There are quite a few familiar names in this class. There are two in front of him, Kan Qingzi and Tan Songyun.

The style of the acting department has not changed at all, and it has even become more extreme. Those with good looks are obviously favored.

Taking advantage of the gap when the candidates went out, Lin Nan said jokingly: "Teachers, we can't just look at the face here. I think that boy is pretty good. Although he looks ordinary, he performed the pantomime very well. Why was he crossed out?"

Several teachers looked at each other and said casually, "Pay attention next time. Isn't there still a chance at the vocational college later..."

Lin Nan didn't believe this nonsense. Why did the other girl who looked ordinary pass?

"If you do this, something will happen sooner or later." Lin Nan muttered to himself.

It doesn't matter. You have to keep close to those who have connections. Those who have connections have to give way to those who have more connections.

It's like this every year, unless some ordinary candidates are really outstanding.

In the words of some teachers: If you are not good at acting, can you learn?

The subtext is that it's all the same, so you should stick to your own people.

Zhang Ruoyun is also a second-generation, but she met someone with better connections, so she can only go to a vocational college.

…

When Jing Tian and Zheng Jiang and the other five walked in, her eyes lit up immediately.

As expected, you have to become famous early. The youngest in this group has not even turned 16 yet.

When Jing Tian reported her resume, many people looked at Lin Nan intentionally or unintentionally.

The slap in the face came quickly.

"This girl is pretty, with a traditional girl's face shape, noble."

This comment almost made Lin Nan laugh out loud.

"This girl is only 15 years old?"

…

Jing Tian was undoubtedly the first to pass.

She was famous for Ning Hao's MV and Lin Nan's movies, and was regarded as a direct descendant of Beijing Film Academy. If she failed and turned to the Central Academy of Drama, it would be a joke.

Xijie began to contact Lin Nan's company to share the box office of "New World".

Lin Nan asked the company's employees to connect, and he drove to the Central Film Academy.

Han Sanping has been waiting for Lin Nan.

"Wang Quan'an's film is scheduled for late March, and I'm also going to put your Buried Alive next month."

"Isn't this a bit deliberate?"

"No, putting two award-winning works in the same month can fully mobilize the market.

The main purpose is to share the box office of the two Hollywood movies."

Lin Nan remembered that "Time and Space Clues" and "Babel" were released in China in March.

Since January, domestic films have been suppressed by imported films. The "007" series pressed a number of domestic films to the ground in January.

This month is "Night at the Museum" and "The Devil Wears Prada"...

"Okay, anyway, whether it's a loss or a profit, it has nothing to do with me."

"Tell me about your script. We didn't get involved in your and Ying Huang's projects."

It's true that Shanghai Film and Guangguang didn't ask Lin Nan this time. It turned out that they were blocked by Han Sanping.

From this point of view, everyone is staring at the "Painted Skin" project. After all, the director of "Ip Man" has been confirmed, and it won't be Lin Nan.

"The script hasn't been approved yet."

"I can ask for you, but it shouldn't be a big problem if you go by yourself." Han Sanping said.

"It will definitely not be launched for a while, but I'm not going to have an open audition for the actors this time. I'll just change to an invitation system, and some unimportant supporting roles can be taken out."

"You should have done that a long time ago."

Han Sanping wanted to ask about the budget and investors, but Lin Nan used the excuse that the actors had not been decided and the script was under review, so it was too early to say these.

The change of leadership in China Film is imminent, and Han Sanping is actually no different from the top leader. The internal meeting just set the tone a few days ago, and he can take over as soon as Lao Yang's time comes.

No matter how Han Sanping's reputation is in the outside world, Lin Nan knows that he really wants to make domestic films develop well.

"When I come back from the South of Colorful Clouds, we will discuss this project after the script is reviewed."

"What are you going there for?"

"The film invested in Professor Cao Baoping is being filmed there. As an investor, I have to at least take a look."

Lin Nan had only made a phone call before to talk about the visit. In fact, another purpose of going there in person was to invite people.

After leaving China Film, Lin Nan went to the airport.

The staff of the crew came to pick Lin Nan up.

When they arrived at the shooting site, everyone was having dinner.

"Director Lin came at a good time."

Zhou Xun carried a lunch box and ate with the main creators of the crew. There were also some fruits on the simple table.

This atmosphere was better than many crews that Lin Nan had seen. Zhou Xun was almost unpretentious when working. If it was another actress, how could they not come to a small single room or a small cafeteria?

"Director Lin, have you eaten? Hurry up and sit down."

Zhang Yi said, and was about to get up to get another lunch box for Lin Nan.

"You only said you were here to visit the set, but you didn't say when. If I had known earlier, we would have had a big meal."

Cao Baoping joked.

Zhang Hanyu and Wang Baoqiang made way for each other, "Director Lin, sit down."

"Baoqiang, we meet again. The last time was also here, "Soldier Assault", haha."

"Who said it wasn't? Director Lin and I are destined to be together, haha..."

"Director Lin, here."

Zhang Yi handed over a box lunch, Lin Nan took it and ate together.

After the meal, Lin Nan glanced at Zhou Xun, "Sister Xun, are you free now? Let's chat."

"Why? I don't like young people like you, haha."

Zhou Xun was not serious and started to go crazy again.

"I'm not interested in you either, and I'm asking you to make an appointment." Lin Nan said unhappily.

"Then let's go to the dressing room to talk." Zhou Xun turned around and walked in.

Lin Nan left the door of the dressing room wide open, not worrying about others breaking in.

"Oh, you know a lot, Director Lin."

Sitting on the chair, Zhou Xun laughed loudly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"A movie, I came here specifically to find you..."

...

A few minutes later, Zhou Xun nodded and thought.

"You're kidding, right? Have you ever seen a vixen like me? No breasts, no buttocks, neither charming nor seductive..."

Only Zhou Xun can say such self-deprecating words. If it were any other actress, she would have to pretend to be a lady.

"It's low-class, right? Who says a vixen has to be that kind? A few thousand years ago, the nine-tailed fox was still a lucky animal.

The vixen I want is not the one that is charming and flirtatious, but has flesh and blood. She is more real, pure, and crazy than a human..."

Lin Nan began to talk about the script, and Zhou Xun listened attentively...
