Chapter 226 Soft Science Fiction, Lin Nan's Script

"Does he really dare to play? You can't waste money like this if you have money!"

"I admit that Lin Nan was an immediate success as a director for the first time.

But he doesn’t think that it’s just a human being, right? "

…

The most intense discussions are among various film and television companies.

It was almost one-sided, not optimistic about Lin Nan's behavior.

After the news spread, the most enthusiastic ones were the directing students from three art schools.

The biggest problem faced by every newcomer who wants to make a movie is the financing of the first movie.

And Guo Fan, who signed a contract with Lin Nan Pictures, is the envy of everyone.

"Is what they say true?"

Returning to Han Sanping of China Film Academy, he asked his secretary.

"It's true. Director Lin gave the newcomer 10 million to make a science fiction film, soft science fiction."

Han Sanping nodded. In China, ten million is enough to shoot soft science fiction.

In particular, Lin Nan now has Tiangong's color scheme, which can effectively reduce costs.

"Director Han, do we want to ask?"

"No, didn't you see? He didn't want to make money, he was just training newbies.

He is the only one who can do this, so he will be jealous, right? "

"Haha, you are right. Many old people in the industry say that it is better to invest in them."

"Everyone just wants to eat shit and use it to make artistic films?

If it were me, I would rather lose a few movies and raise a commercial film director..."

——

Lin Nan got the news that Zhouyi's "Bao Sangu Gaiden" was sold at a loss.

Three TV series, two independently produced and one jointly produced.

The reason for joint production is that there is no money. As a result, the price cannot be sold and the money is lost.

"This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them."

"Then do I want to test it again?"

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and nodded.

“Either sell the whole thing to us, invest or buy shares, I won’t consider it.

But I estimate that the probability of her agreeing is no more than 30%. Just ask her and think of it as putting psychological pressure on her..."

After saying this, Lin Nan felt that he was a bit cruel.

On the other side, Huayi held a grand launch conference for "Tongtian Empire".

In addition to the presence of actors such as Liu Dehua, Liu Jialing, and Li Bingbing, a series of designed products such as final makeup photos, weapons, and armors were also displayed.

The Xuke team may have wanted to show off, but it had the opposite effect. Many people complained about it afterwards.

Especially makeup, distribution, and armor.

Although the Japanese learned the culture of the Tang Dynasty, the things that the Xu Ke team reprocessed were obviously more biased towards the island country.

In the end, I could only explain that it was a movie after all, so some "processing" must be done, but the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could still be vaguely seen!

The word "vaguely" is used very well.

"This is not a simple historical theme, it can also lean towards magic and fantasy."

Xu Ke set the tone for the film and emphasized that this was a subject that could be made into a series. …

Since "Painted Skin", Lin Nan and Wu Ershan have not had much contact.

The latter continued to work in his old profession, advertising films.

Coming to Lin Nan today made the latter a little confused.

"Director Lin, thank you very much for allowing me to join the crew of "Painted Skin" for training.

Star Gravity has agreed to make my first commercial film. "

Wu Ershan seemed very happy, and it seemed that he really came to express his gratitude.

"Congratulations then. What movie is it?"

"An avant-garde martial arts comedy."

When Lin Nan heard the word "avant-garde", he knew it was over.

What is an avant-garde film? It is an abstract film that does not care about the storyline and only focuses on the visual effects.

This kind of movie has basically no box office potential.

"Then I wish you success." Lin Nan said.

Wu Ershan was hesitant and finally said:

"Director Lin, actually I have something to do today.

When I was on the set, you said that if "Painted Skin" did well at the box office, a sequel would be made..."

If Wu Ershan didn't mention this, Lin Nan would really forget it.

He had promised the other party that if he made a sequel, he would also look for Wu Ershan.

"I think about it, the sequel is going to be done, but it may be a bit uncertain this year." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Wu Ershan looked surprised.

"Director Lin, I hope you can give me a chance. During this time..."

…

More than two hours later, Wu Ershan left.

Lin Nan was alone in the office and felt a little moved by this man's courage.

He actually came to recommend himself.

I also made my own color and composition analysis of fantasy-themed movies, which is very detailed and has its own characteristics.

But Lin Nan did not agree and only said that he would consider it.

I don’t know what prompted Wu Ershan to make such a rash request.

"It won't all be affected by my investment in new people making movies, right?"

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. There were still too few people in the industry willing to train new directors.

His investment in Guo Fan may have misled many people, thinking that he would be easy to talk to, but he had to be one of his own.

"But it reminds me that "Painted Skin 2" really needs to be put on the schedule. The series should not be separated for too long."

…………

"The Wolverine", "Star Trek", and "Fast 4" are three consecutive Hollywood blockbusters that have landed in the domestic market.

Let many domestic movies feel the depressing atmosphere again.

From the data on the Internet, it is these three movies that are dividing 90% of the mainland film market.

The remaining dozen domestic films share the remaining 10%.

When Han Sanping went to attend the Film Bureau meeting, he took out Lin Nan's graduation thesis to talk about this issue.

Different occasions, different people, and different thoughts.

A group of bigwigs really held several meetings on the topic of "film industrialization".

Because their own market is always being fleeced by outsiders, it is not a big deal.

However, the conclusion drawn in the end made a group of people very pessimistic.

The existing film industry is not perfect, and the infrastructure is not popular. Only after these things are completed in the next two years can we consider the issue of film industrialization.

"Your thesis is very good. When we make industrial planning later, the bureau will refer to it. Director Tong asked me to tell you."

After Han Sanping came back, he met Lin Nan.

"That's no problem. It's good for the industry."

"You are willing to give it up. The script is good. It's a pity to give it to a newcomer." Han Sanping smacked his lips and complained.

Lin Nan's eyes widened, looking at Han Sanping, his eyes full of question marks.

"Haha, I took a look when I went to the meeting."

This is totally cheating!

"Boss Han, you are violating the rules."

"Source Code, a good name, very sci-fi, but it's a soft sci-fi."

Han Sanping ignored Lin Nan's words and talked to himself.

"Let me remind you, because of The Martian, the bureau will pay special attention to your sci-fi film.

You are also the screenwriter of Source Code. It should have been approved by now..."

This news is a bit scary, it has been less than a week since it was submitted.

——

Han Sanping did not lie to Lin Nan.

On the official website of the Film Bureau, Source Code is listed in the list of the new batch of approved scripts.

The media are competing to report.

"Source Code, sci-fi (soft sci-fi), screenwriter: Lin Nan!"

Screenwriter: Lin Nan!

These four words are very powerful.

The industry has never thought that Lin Nan would personally provide a script to a newcomer.

This is a gamble with reputation. If he loses, it will only affect Lin Nan's reputation.

In the end, everyone guessed wrong, he really did it!

"If it is Director Lin's script, it is really possible to succeed, at least it will not lose money..."

Regardless of whether the director is a newcomer or not, at least Lin Nan's script is trustworthy, and the story or creativity will never disappoint.

There are many brokerage companies and actors who are interested in it.

Even Wang Changtian has a toothache. He should have asked clearly at the beginning. He was careless.

"A qualified director should not only be able to direct, but also be able to cast."

This is what Lin Nan said to Guo Fan.

There should be many people who want to audition for "Source Code". He will not interfere with the casting and leave it all to Guo Fan.

...

Ning Hao returned with the crew of "No Man's Land".

It took two months to cross the Gobi Desert across several provinces.

When Lin Nan arrived at Bad Monkey, he didn't recognize him at first glance. His skin was dark and rough.

"If you don't know, you would think you have been fleeing famine for several months."

"It's no different from fleeing famine. Director Ning almost killed me." Huang Bo said with some fear.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

"I lost 18 pounds, Xu Zheng lost 23 pounds, and Ning Hao lost 8 pounds.

The worst is Yu Nan. Look, she was a good girl, but now she is dark and thin, and her heart is small, haha..."

Huang Bo is not serious. Yu Nan next to him just grinned and didn't say anything.

Xing Ai hadn't seen Ning Hao for two months, and now she was so considerate.

Food and drinks were served all at once.

After sitting for a while, Lin Nan and Huang Bo wanted to leave.

Xing Ai's eyes were full of fire, and he probably wanted to drag Ning Hao home quickly.

"Hey, don't leave yet, I want to discuss something with you."

Ning Hao pulled Lin Nan and said.

"Then we'll leave first." Huang Bo and others left with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to let you do the post-production, and try out those precious things of yours, hehe."

"Director Ning, you don't look good, but you have beautiful ideas." Lin Nan joked.

"Just tell me if it's okay."

"Okay, that's all right. Let me go quickly, that sister has been glaring at me for a long time."

Xing Ai was a little embarrassed, and smiled, "What are you talking about, come back another day, I want to take him back to see my son."

Lin Nan forcibly broke free from Ning Hao's hand and ran away.

"Let's go, Director Ning."

"Can you let me go? I've been exposed to the wind and sun for the past two months, and I need to take a break for a while..."

"Haha, what do you think?"

——

Tom called.

"Except for the movie for Crystal, it is our exclusive production.

For the other one, I have already discussed with Paul, Lionsgate will co-produce with Crystal Pictures."

"Okay, for the one with a high cost, we really need to find someone to share the risk, and Lionsgate is a good choice."

Lin Nan said affirmatively.
