Chapter 199 No Man’s Land, Bazaar Invites
Huayi has a lot of problems.
Since the breakup with Wang Jinghua, several brokerage departments have been set up internally, allowing them to fight openly and secretly.
Li Xing was brought up by Wang Jinghua and is currently the general manager of Huayi Brokerage Company, nominally managing all brokers.
It is understandable that he tilts resources to his own sister.
But "The Sound of Wind" is not an exclusive project of Huayi, and the copyright is not in Huayi's hands.
"This is not taking me seriously."
Lin Nan compared and looked through two scripts of "The Sound of Wind", one is Chen Guofu's original draft, and the other is modified.
The original script is the same as the original novel, and Zhou Xun's Gu Xiaomeng is the absolute heroine.
After the modification, it became a double heroine, and many of Zhou Xun's roles were divided to Li Bingbing.
Especially the role played by Li Bingbing, there are more than ten minutes of nude scenes and torture scenes, and it is very likely that the guest will become the host.
"The struggle for resources between female artists? I have learned a lot." Lin Nan muttered.
——
The news of the script change of "The Sound of Wind" has spread among the Huayi artist group.
Most people consciously avoid this topic to avoid being affected.
Li Xing accepted the greetings of the young artists with a smile on his face and walked to Wang Zhonglei's office.
"Mr. Wang, you are looking for me?"
"Sit down, I have something to talk about."
Li Xing closed the door and sat opposite Wang Zhonglei.
"What does Mr. Wang want to tell you?"
Wang Zhonglei pressed his eyes, "Forget about the script change, and follow the original arrangement of Director Chen."
"Hasn't it been changed and finalized? Why is it suddenly invalid?" Li Xing asked hurriedly.
"Lin Nan disagrees, and the company can't do anything."
"Director Lin?"
Li Xing is much smarter than Li Bingbing. He sorted out his thoughts and figured it out in an instant.
It's nothing more than Zhou Xun went to find Lin Nan, but she was a little unwilling to give up.
"Boss Wang, is there really no other way? Zhou Xun is destined not to renew the contract with the company."
"There is no other way. This project is a joint production, and the copyright is in his hands."
Wang Zhonglei regretted his decision to change the script. In the end, he got into trouble and the matter was not done.
Li Xing left the office expressionlessly and went to find Li Bingbing.
After that, all the actors who were confirmed to star in "The Sound of Wind" received a notice to continue filming according to the original script.
On the last day of July, Liu Yifei finished filming the "Inception" crew.
She was very conspicuous in a fresh and beautiful summer outfit.
She was blocked by a large group of reporters at the airport.
Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's hand, smiling constantly, answering questions while walking until she got in the car.
"Let's go back quickly, Changchang is still waiting."
Liu Yifei urged, and was greeted with a roll of eyes from her mother.
In the villa, Shu Chang felt like he was at home.
"Food and drinks, all ready."
"Yes, they are all the fruits of my and Zhu Yawen's hard work.
The silly girl she plays is proficient in everything, but in fact she is clumsy. She made egg tarts on New Year's Eve and couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar..."
Lin Nan laughed mercilessly, ignoring Shu Chang's unconvinced look.
More than half an hour later, a car stopped outside the villa.
Liu Yifei jumped down first, and a shrill scream sounded. The two girls hugged each other and jumped.
"Okay, okay, go in first." Liu Xiaoli reminded with a smile.
In the garden, only four young people were left laughing, and Liu's mother went in to rest.
"Xixi, how do you feel about working with Nolan and Leonardo?" Shu Chang asked curiously.
"I learned a lot. Director Nolan said that I made rapid progress."
Liu Yifei was a little arrogant and glanced at Lin Nan.
"Oh, I forgot. I haven't congratulated Changchang on her graduation yet."
"Haha, it's nothing."
Shu Chang's popularity has reached a new level this year. In April, "Painted Skin" and "Magic Phone" made her the youngest actress second only to Liu Yifei.
When she graduated in June, a large number of brokerage companies and film and television companies offered olive branches.
However, after comprehensive consideration, she chose to build a small studio to work for herself.
"Although I have a studio, I still need to ask Director Lin and his family to take care of me in the future, hehe..."
Shu Chang glanced back and forth between Lin Nan and Liu Yifei and teased.
"You are talking nonsense again." Liu Yifei, with a flushed face, was about to take action.
"Director Lin, and me."
Zhu Yawen was writing "Red Cliff". Lin Zhiling's voice gave people goose bumps.
Lin Nan was really afraid of this guy, and he would say again: Mengmeng, stand up.
"It's been a long time since we went out to play together, right?"
Several people looked at Lin Nan in an instant, and saw him take out a few tickets from his pocket.
"Tickets for the core area of the Olympic opening ceremony performance."
"Fuck, good stuff." Zhu Yawen swore.
"Five seats are together, let's go together, auntie."
Lin Nan said, giving Shu Chang and Zhu Yawen one ticket each, and Liu Yifei two tickets, the latter looked at Lin Nan with a smile.
A few people agreed to go to the Bird's Nest together on the 8th.
——
"Li Mi's Conjecture" did not have a very good publicity effect.
Cao Baoping hoped that Lin Nan could go.
The official media has been reporting on the Olympics during this period.
Even in the TV system, Guangguang, which has a huge network of relationships, cannot spare extra publicity resources for this movie.
In the studio, the host is Xie Nan, who is now being promoted.
"Director Lin, long time no see. You cut my part in Painted Skin to only two minutes."
"Haha, I'll give you five minutes next time."
"It's a big supporting role. I have to thank you first. You have to keep your word."
The recording begins.
Cao Baoping talks about the things that happened when the film project was established.
When he approached Lin Nan to get investment, the latter had just sent The Martian to Hollywood.
He verbally agreed over the phone, and came back to sign the contract.
"I went directly to the crew to find Zhou Xun and invited her to play Xiao Wei.
But she said she had no breasts, no buttocks, and an airport, and asked me if I was joking, haha..."
Lin Nan adjusted the atmosphere appropriately, and Zhou Xun and other actors laughed from ear to ear.
The selling point of the publicity lies in him as the producer and Zhou Xun, after all, the two of them also came out of the Painted Skin crew.
"It's said outside that your contract with Huayi will not be renewed after it expires. Is this true?"
After talking about the business, it's the gossip that the media cares about. Guangguang has informed the crew about this.
"I have this plan. I want to open a studio. I want to work when I want to work and rest when I want to rest."
Zhou Xun said it casually, and Zhang Hanyu and Wang Baoqiang smiled reluctantly.
After this was spread today, it became ironclad evidence. Are you really not afraid of offending Mr. Wang for publicity?
"To be honest, I also asked Brother Xun if he would sign it to me after the contract expires.
In the end, she refused without even thinking about it. She didn't give me face at all..."
——
After the show.
The media quickly reported that Zhou Xun confirmed that he would not renew his contract with Huayi and rejected Lin Nan.
But this was not the headline in the circle.
The hot news was: Ning Hao was suspected of having a conflict with director Lin Nan and would no longer cooperate on the new film.
Many people called, all asking what happened.
Lin Nan had no idea why. He was also confused. They had dinner together a few days ago, but today they had a conflict for no reason?
After reading the report carefully, he knew why.
Ning Hao was really stubborn. He would not listen to advice if he made up his mind.
China Film Group just confirmed that it had invested 16 million in Ning Hao in the morning, and this kind of gossip news came out in the afternoon.
Come to think of it, the first movie that Ning Hao really became famous was "Stone", and Lin Nan provided the script and funds.
The second commercial film was "Racing", and Lin Nan accounted for half of the investment.
This time the investment was a little bigger, but Lin Nan was not seen. It would be strange if these media didn't write nonsense.
Ning Hao called Lin Nan with a smile.
"I found it funny when I saw it.
But this time I really didn't tell you about the investment. Director Han promised to help when "No Man's Land" was reviewed..."
Ning Hao didn't change the script after all, but thought of a roundabout way.
"When I was filming Incense, I wanted to win awards, but it was the comedy Stone that really made me famous.
I think the script of No Man's Land is very suitable. This time I will be very focused and make it a good one..."
Having said this, the underlying meaning is to ask Lin Nan to stop persuading.
"Okay, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
A big director of commercial films is making a new movie. This is a piece of fat meat for actors in the circle.
But with Ning Hao's personality, he would not want a vase actor.
…………
The people from Harper's Bazaar sent another invitation.
Liu Yifei was on Harper's Bazaar magazine once in the middle of the year, so she naturally agreed to this invitation.
This year is indeed special. The incident in May was selected as the theme of this Harper's Bazaar Charity Night to raise funds.
Lin Nan thought about it carefully and still felt that it was better to go.
Speaking of which, Su Mang has been sending him invitations for several consecutive years, but he usually throws the invitations into the trash out of habit.
Unlike official charity events, this unofficial charity gala, although it is also doing business, is mainly for entertainment.
The people invited are all the most popular stars in the circle, or big names with status and position.
There is no need to explain how popular Liu Yifei is. With four TV series and three Hollywood movies, she is the highest priority for Bazaar to invite, just like the great director Lin Nan.
…
Lin Nan was almost asleep when Tom called her, as if she was bullied by a group of big men.
“Didn’t you say you would only play for one or two months last year?”
“Damn Wall Street, it’s all a bunch of scammers, my hard-earned money…”
Tom kept cursing, and Lin Nan heard roughly.
The stock market rose abnormally last year. Tom got a taste of the sweetness in the first one or two months, and ended up getting stuck.
No wonder Tom looked like he had no desire to live when he went to discuss the investment in “Inception”.
Working for Lin Nan in the past few years is in vain.
It’s about to explode.
Lin Nan didn't dare to go deeper, just thinking about getting some high-quality stocks later.
"You deserve this, just be an honest worker in the future.
You disturbed my rest in the middle of the night..."
Lin Nan hung up the phone with a yawn. He thought that Tom would not jump off the building given his cowardly and lustful personality.
