Chapter 164 Finale
The Olympics, there is only one year left.
The director team has made a lot of design plans.
That is, how to condense more than 5,000 years of splendid culture into a 50-minute opening ceremony performance.
Olympic Building, conference room.
Lin Nan is still sitting with Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Looking around, he found that the people present were those who were invited by the Olympic Committee to participate in the competition for the chief director.
In addition, there are some so-called experts.
Chen Kaige is also there, so I think the crew of "Mei Lanfang" has stopped working.
Zhang Yimou is the main speaker today, and he will introduce the general plan, theme, and cultural characteristics of the opening ceremony in detail.
The people below are all tools, mainly to brainstorm and fill in the gaps for Zhang Yimou's team's plan.
Because according to regulations, the final plan must be submitted to the International Olympic Committee by July this year at the latest.
Lin Nan thinks Zhang Yimou's speech is very good, highlighting the most important features, ink painting scrolls, text symbols, things that are difficult to do in technology, and use people to complete them, which is very practical.
But for some Olympic experts, Lin Nan didn't know what their daily work was.
As soon as they opened their mouths, they said: We must create in the most attractive way, use international fashion elements to interpret China, and must...
Zhang Yimou's face was not very good. When he asked him about the specific operation, the latter fell silent instantly.
Lin Nan saw that many directors were trying hard to hold back their laughter. He didn't know how such people got in.
The leaders above also had gloomy faces.
After the meeting, everyone was pulled into the army.
Each module of the opening ceremony needed people to organize, and many directors agreed immediately to stay here to help.
Lin Nan waved his hands and refused.
"You have a bad personality. The Olympics is such a grand event. Zhang Yimou invited you, but you still refused."
"Teacher, my crew is still filming. In order to find time to come back, the assistant director has been helping me keep an eye on it these two days."
Lin Nan smiled.
"As you like." Tian Zhuangzhuang got in the car and prepared to go back to school.
...
Lin Nan went back to the company and heard a lot of gossip.
Huayi and Chengtian have been at odds for a long time, starting from Wang Jinghua's job-hopping.
Fan Bingbing, who left Huayi these two days, also announced that he had joined Chengtian, but in the name of the studio.
The two Wangs are not easy to mess with, and all kinds of negative information about Chengtian have come out.
Chen Hao, the popular star, terminated her contract with Chengtian, and was also linked to her contract with Fan Bingbing.
Netizens are gossipy, and the media follow suit.
Words such as boss lady, sponsorship, and meddling keep appearing online.
Some media even described the relationship between the two companies as: Since the birth of Chengtian, every vein has been flowing with Huayi's blood, which was sucked in.
...
"Let's take it slow, recruit a few more first, and the company will be responsible for sending them out for training, but the contracts must be strict..."
"No problem, there are many students in these majors at Beijing Film Academy, and I will sign the best ones."
After that, Yue Jun left Lin Nan's office.
"Painted Skin" is about to be completed, and post-production is also a problem, especially the small part of special effects.
Lin Nan has already communicated with Tom. Crystal Pictures has improved its efficiency very quickly during this period, and has added a lot of new employees. It is entirely possible to allocate some manpower to help Lin Nan with the special effects of "Painted Skin".
Before returning to the crew, Lin Nan went to the academy to watch the post-production of "Li Mi's Conjecture".
Cao Baoping attached great importance to this movie and wanted to edit it by himself second by second.
"I am going to take this movie to the film festival, so I must do it well, haha."
Cao Baoping said bluntly, not hiding his desire for awards at all.
Counting the time, Lin Nan returned to the "Painted Skin" crew in Ning Province.
Wu Ershan, seeing Lin Nan's figure, showed a relieved smile.
"Director Lin, you are finally back."
When he arrived at the crew, Lin Nan knew that Wu Ershan had taken a lot of shots in the past two days, but he always felt that it did not match Lin Nan's style, so he did not keep any of them.
"Then we have to hurry up.
I thought that after I came back, I could just say "good luck" and that would be it, haha."
Wu Ershan smiled reluctantly.
"In fact, every director should have his own style. Your style is different from mine, which is a good thing." Lin Nan comforted him.
Several leading actors sat together and were asking Huang Xiaoming about gossip.
"Chen Kun's son is five years old, who is the woman?"
Many media reported this news today, and Huang Xiaoming, a classmate, became the target of inquiries.
"For such things, don't say you don't know, even if you know, I can't say it."
"But I admire him very much. By this calculation, when he had a child, his career was on the rise." Mei Ting sighed.
"Director Lin, what did you do during your two days away?" Zhou Xun asked.
"I worked as a tool for the opening ceremony of the Olympics and listened to Director Zhang's speech."
This matter did not need to be kept secret, so Lin Nan said it.
There were still many literary scenes, and Lin Nan started shooting that afternoon.
Zhou Xun and Mei Ting have both won Best Actress awards, and literary dramas can better reflect their strength.
It has been a while since Liu Yifei turned down "The Mummy 3", and the crew quickly confirmed the new candidate. Liang Luoshi from Hong Kong Island.
Ying Huang should have made a lot of efforts.
In the camera, Mei Ting took the bowl of demon poison handed by Zhou Xun, and said with a death determination: "You don't understand what love is."
"Click."
"You two are really matched against each other, your eyes and micro-expressions are beyond words." Lin Nan praised.
Before the change, Zhou Xun might have boasted a few words, but now he smiled and said nothing.
Everyone can guess the reason.
Huayi held a high-profile renewal ceremony for Li Bingbing and Ren Quan. Li Bingbing's three-year contract renewal fee of 80 million yuan spread throughout the circle.
She has firmly established herself as the first sister of Huayi, especially since her sister is also the co-general manager of Huayi Brokerage Company.
It is conceivable that Zhou Xun's resources will most likely decrease in the future.
Lin Nan thought of Fan Bingbing. She was really smart and left decisively when she saw the situation was not going well.
…
The role of the Lizard Spirit actually does not require much acting skills, and the shape and facial expressions are not easy to express.
Hu Ge's literary plays are all paired with Zhou Xun. He has learned some things in the past two months and has made obvious progress.
The last scene of the Lizard Spirit is that he rushed into Xiao Wei's room happily, but Xiao Wei, who was worried about being discovered by Wang Sheng, cursed and scolded her, and then drove away...
"I think the role I played was a bit of a double take." Hu Ge laughed at himself.
"Among the main characters, this lizard spirit is the only one who has not changed from beginning to end. He only likes Xiao Wei, kills people for her, and works as a bull for her." Lin Nan said.
"It seems that this is really the case."
"Stop acting like this and prepare for the next scene." Lin Nan urged.
…
Some people are really wild, like Lu Zheng.
Hu Ge picked up the newspaper and said, "Director Lin, your actress from "The Martian" has become Princess Cherry."
Lin Nan took the newspaper and read it, and was shocked.
How much money did Lu Zheng spend to buy Jing Tian the identity of the annual spokesperson of the Northwest Cherry Association of America? There is also a photo with the governor of Washington State.
"This move is very stinky." Lin Nan returned the newspaper to Hu Ge and said.
"Jing Tian? You have a good personality. You may need a qualified agent or a reasonable career plan."
Huang Xiaoming smiled and added that when he was on the set of "The Martian", everyone thought this girl was pretty good.
Even Huang Xiaoming could see what Jing Tian lacked, and he could imagine how unreasonable Lu Zheng's operational arrangements were.
Ning Ying sent a white fox and a big lizard.
Save this for the final close-up.
In the inn, a camera was set up.
Pang Yong hugged Wang Sheng and said goodbye to Pei Rong.
After all, he had gotten used to being at home all over the world for so many years, but this time he had an extra companion, Xia Bing.
The perspective switches, and the shot of a white fox and a lizard is frozen.
Lin Nan stretched his limbs and looked at all the staff in front of him.
“Thank you everyone for your cooperation during this period, which allowed us to finish filming this movie nearly a month ahead of schedule.
Thinking back carefully, my movies never seem to run out of time, they are all completed ahead of schedule, haha. "
"Everyone, I announce that "Painted Skin" is officially finished." Lin Nan shouted with a smile.
"Director Lin."
The hosts hugged Lin Nan one by one. During this period, everyone established a good relationship, especially the relaxed atmosphere of the crew, which was very popular.
Ning Ying directly booked a hotel that night to hold the closing banquet of "Painted Skin".
At Lin Nan's request, there were no media or reporters at the closing banquet, and everyone in the crew relaxed to eat and drink.
Zhou Xun is a drinker, so he dragged Lin Nan to drink, and she was already a little tipsy.
"Director Lin, if you have any future projects, come to me. I'll give you a good salary, burp..."
Lin Nan grimaced, fearing that Zhou Xun would spit on him. This was too drinkable.
Her assistant hurriedly came over to help Fu, "Director Lin, I'm sorry, that's just how she is."
"It doesn't matter, you should help her up to rest."
Lin Nan got up and walked to a quiet place. He was originally going to call Liu Yifei, but as soon as he took out his phone, he saw a call from Shanghai Film.
The Shanghai Film Festival has always been the territory of SIPG.
"I'm really embarrassed to have Director Ren call me so late at night."
"Since I'm sorry, then come to the film festival. They said you haven't replied yet.
It's only a few days away, so why don't I call you personally? I heard you're wrapping up today? "
"Director Ren, you are really well informed." Lin Nan complained.
"Haha, come over when the time comes. You are the only one I personally called."
Ren Zhonglun had already said this, and Lin Nan knew that this award-winning guest could not escape.
"Okay, I'll go there before the awards show."
…
The next morning, the news of the completion of "Painted Skin" was reported in the media.
Everyone once again lamented the speed of Lin Nan's filming. It took more than two months to finish the film, which was really fast.
At the airport, the group parted ways.
