Chapter 243 Wanda Pictures, the Second Director of the 400 Million Club

Golden Lion director quit the Film Association?

This is the biggest gossip in the film and television industry.

How many newcomers want to get in but have no way, but Lin Nan wants to get out...

Well, people in the industry have to admit that Lin Nan has the capital to win one Golden Lion and two Silver Bears.

Many actors who have a good relationship with him came to ask Lin Nan about this matter, and the latter gave a positive answer.

In addition, everyone still remembers the incident of playing tricks on him some time ago.

Now, the industry is really sure that Lin Nan has really broken up with the association.

"You are awesome, you took the lead in doing this, and now many directors have some other ideas..."

Ning Hao told Lin Nan that the association held a meeting these two days, and there was almost a quarrel on the scene.

"What are you arguing about?"

"Originally, they were talking about your withdrawal from the association, but inexplicably, they started to criticize the association.

They said that a group of people not only did not take action, but sometimes they often "tripped people up" and "suppressed dissidents"..."

Lin Nan could hear that there were many people who had opinions, but they probably just used his case to vent their anger. If they really wanted to withdraw from the association, it was likely that few people would be willing to do so.

…

"The Founding of a Republic" was released.

All theaters tacitly gave this movie a high screening volume.

On the first day and a half, the box office exceeded 15 million. At the end of the first day, the box office was more than 26 million.

China Film shouted out a slogan, hoping that this film could create a new domestic film box office record.

Immediately afterwards, some schools and units began to go to the theater in an organized manner to watch movies...

This operation stunned a number of film and television companies and made them have to admit defeat.

…

There is another big company in the film industry.

Unlike some newly started film production companies, Wanda Pictures is incredible.

In the past two years, their cinemas have been expanding rapidly. Now they are entering the upstream production, and no one will not give them face.

The guests at a cocktail party for the establishment of a new company are all big names, especially directors, which is a good example.

Lin Nan took Guo Fan and Lu Yang to a visit.

Wanda’s people are very naked, holding the idea of ​​rather killing the wrong person than letting the wrong person go.

They told all the directors, screenwriters, and producers present that if there are any projects that cannot find investment, they can contact Wanda Pictures. Of course, those who are willing to sign a contract are better, and Wanda Pictures will focus on supporting them...

"Director Lin, aren't they too direct?" Guo Fan swallowed his saliva, looking shocked.

"Without a foundation in the field of production, using money to open the way is the best way, casting a wide net." Lu Yang explained.

Lin Nan felt that in the short term, Wanda Pictures might not achieve any results, and people are not so easy to dig.

Two years from now, when the pay skyrocketed and cinemas became king, Wanda's advantages would be fully demonstrated...

By bringing Guo Fan and Lu Yang here today, Lin Nan wanted to let them get in touch with the circle, after all, they are all newcomers.

But these two guys, one was talking about martial arts feelings with others, and the other was talking about film technology, which was completely out of tune with the atmosphere of the cocktail party. Everyone around them tried their best to cooperate...

Lin Nan saw it and felt a little embarrassed, but changed his mind, this kind of younger brother is pretty good.

"Director Lin?"

"Mr. Lu... By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."

When a group of Wanda Pictures executives came out just now, Lu Zheng was there.

"Director Lin, you are too polite. When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask you to help us direct the movie. The pay is definitely not a problem."

Lin Nan was a little surprised. Lu Zheng was quite arrogant today. He said this right at the beginning?

"Mr. Lu is joking. I haven't considered taking on any other roles in the short term."

"Haha, don't worry, there will always be a chance. Well, Director Lin's girlfriend didn't come today?"

Lin Nan shook her head. Liu Yifei had an appointment with Shu Chang today.

"Then Director Lin must bring her to meet everyone some other day..."

Lin Nan was confused. Lu Zheng was a little confused today.

...

After today, Wanda Pictures was officially established.

"Today, many people asked me if I had plans for the next movie. Did Director Lin provide the material?"

When Lu Yang went back, he just found it funny when he talked about this. These people were too purposeful.

"Me too..." Guo Fan added.

...

Xue Xiaolu took some time to come to Lin Nan to talk about the casting of "Love Is Not Blind".

"To be honest, I really admire you. I gave the male lead to Zhu Yawen and the female supporting role to Jiang Yiyan. I thought that was enough.

You chose most of the remaining roles from Beijing Film Academy. Did the acting department put pressure on you? Haha..."

Lin Nan looked at the roles that Xue Xiaolu decided in her free time and laughed and teased.

Not only is Wang Luodan the female lead, but most of the other roles are graduates of Beijing Film Academy...

"That's right. I'm a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, and I will definitely give priority to students from my own school.

However, the acting department did raise some opinions..."

Xue Xiaolu didn't hide it and said it directly.

"Oh, I misread it. There's also Guo Jingfei from Shanghai Theatre Academy." Lin Nan said.

"Well, I went there on a business trip before and watched his play. It was very good, so I gave him a role."

Xue Xiaolu remembered something, "Some time ago, many agencies came to me to recommend people, and the key is that they were all from the Central Academy of Drama. I rejected them all."

"Which companies?"

"Chengtian, 18 Culture, Tangren, Huayi...

Especially Huayi, they wanted the leading actress right away, and she was also from the Central Academy of Drama."

Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.

It can be seen that Xue Xiaolu intentionally favored people from her own school when selecting and casting, but it was okay and did not affect anything.

"Now all the roles have been decided, and I plan to start filming in November."

"Okay, this list of actors can be announced."

…………

"Love Is Not Blind" announced that the casting is complete.

Many people in the industry found that this movie is interesting, and 99% of them are from Beijing Film Academy.

"This time it's a rare thing!"

"From the director, screenwriter, to the actors, this time it can almost be said to be a pure Beijing Film Academy lineup!"

"Love Is Not Blind, with an investment of 9 million, is expected to start filming in November..."

Lin Nan saw the news about Huang Xiaoming.

Qin Lan and Lu Chuan were photographed spending the night together, and the media compared the woman's previous boyfriend Huang Xiaozhu...

Many people actually said that Huang Xiaoming is not as good as Lu Chuan, which is really weird.

Lin Nan suddenly realized something. It seems that the director has a much higher status than the actor at this stage, and that guy has indeed won several awards...

...

Lin Nan returned home, parked the car, and went to Liu Yifei's place.

"Changchang, why are you still here?"

"Do you mean to drive me away? Do you think I'm in your way?" Shu Chang rolled his eyes.

"How could that be?

What are you two looking at?"

Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang flipping through a very beautiful booklet.

"The invitation letter for the items auctioned at this year's Bazaar Charity Night has been sent..."

Liu Yifei raised her head and smiled on her smooth face.

"Don't think about it, I must have it there too."

For this kind of event, the higher your status, the higher the invitation level, which is extremely realistic.

I went there once last year, and this year I will definitely not miss Lin Nan, the Golden Lion director.

"Well, we will go together then."

"So sour." Shu Chang complained.

"Then add you?" Liu Yifei winked at her bestie.

"I'm not going. I have an announcement that day."

Lin Nan glanced at the album sent by Bazaar. Wow, the items are getting more and more expensive.

After a while, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang began to chatter about which one is beautiful and which one is better.

Their eyes almost stopped at the dozen pages of jewelry and haute couture dresses...

Lin Nan was like a ball of air, left aside, and no one paid attention to him!

"Haha, it turns out that no matter what age, women are the same..."

...

The next day, Lin Nan personally sent Lu Yang and his group to the airport.

"Director Lin, don't worry. In the next half month, I will try to sell "Blind Cinema" for a good price and bring back a big prize, haha..."

Lu Yang started to brag.

Although the Busan Film Festival is very friendly to newcomers, it is not friendly enough to give you the status of a big prize. At most, it will give you a mediocre one.

"Come on, it would be good if we can double the money after getting back the capital. You are thinking too much now, be careful not to be hit later."

Lin Nan poured some cold water on him, telling him not to be too arrogant.

"Director Lin, we have agreed that when we come back from the Busan Film Festival, I want to see your script..."

At this time, Lu Yang was still talking about this matter.

"Okay, no problem, I will write it when I go back later, hehe."

"Didn't you say that there is a ready-made script?"

"I can't tell it's a joke!"

Guo Fan complained on the side.

He still envied Lu Yang in his heart, wondering when he would have the opportunity to take his work to the film festival.

"Director Lin, Lao Guo, you guys go back, we are going in."

Lu Yang smiled and waved his hand, leading several staff members into the terminal hall. Before the closing ceremony of the Busan Film Festival, the leading actors will also go there.

...

After such a long training, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" finally started filming.

Lin Nan really didn't pay attention to which role Zhang Yi played.

However, the news spread in the circle. Zhou Yun wanted to introduce Zu Feng to the crew, but was rejected by Jiang Wen.

However, Lin Nan successfully squeezed Zhang Yi in.

In contrast, the benefits of actors signing with big directors were instantly reflected.

Many people remembered the ten-year contract Zhang Yi signed three years ago, and they cursed in their hearts, "Small eyes, so cunning!"

The box office trend of "Founding of a Republic" seems to be more powerful than the original "Inception", almost like "The Martian".

In the first week, it exceeded 150 million steadily, and the daily growth was very stable, with an incredible stability.

Many media predicted that this movie will break the box office record of "The Martian" and reach a box office data of 450 million.

Han Sanping smiled very happily when he was interviewed by the media.

"Box office and other things are fake. This movie is mainly for tribute. As for how much it can reach in the end, it all depends on the audience..."

When the reporter mentioned that Han Sanping might become the second director of the 400 million box office club, Han Sanping's wrinkles on his face laughed out, and he kept saying, "Nonsense..."
