Chapter 316 Zhao Liying, Shortlisted

In March, the first domestic film to be released was "Guanyin Mountain", in which Fan Bingbing won the Tokyo Film Award.

The director is still the director of "Apple", and the heroine is still the heroine of "Apple".

But the result this time was different from that in Berlin. This time it was successful!

At present, among the actresses born in the 1980s, Fan Bingbing is the most dedicated.

She dares to make all sacrifices for the pursuit in her heart!

A literary film with an investment of 7 million yuan received 8 million box office on the first day, which is rare in the field of literary and artistic films.

This movie is destined to make money.

The box office was 9 million on the second day, and still 9 million on the third day, making a profit in the first three days of the weekend!

The eyes of the industry have all turned to this female director. If there are achievements, there will be benefits.

When Lin Nan picked up Liu Yifei at the airport, he met Fan Bingbing and his party who were returning from Paris.

The latter was surrounded by the media, but he still accepted interviews with everyone with a smile.

…

More than half an hour later, someone knocked on Lin Nan's car window.

"Director Lin is waiting for Yifei? She is one flight behind me and should be arriving soon..."

Lin Nan was a little surprised. Fan Bingbing's look was great!

The other party didn't stay long and walked quickly to the car behind.

Less than twenty minutes later, there was another commotion at the airport exit, and Miss Liu was surrounded.

She had already seen Lin Nan's car, but she just couldn't get past it.

After a long time, Liu Yifei got in the car. The assistants returned to the company by themselves.

“These three days have been really tiring, with an average of three sets of dresses a day, half of which is spent on makeup and makeup removal.

Go back quickly, I want to have a good sleep and won’t get up tomorrow morning..."

Liu Yifei's first words after getting in the car directly revealed her true nature!

"Okay, haha..."

…………

After sending Liu Yifei back, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun, who had arrived.

Lin Nan Pictures, third floor.

Compared to when she came here three days ago, Zhao Liying was still nervous and apprehensive, but more excited.

It really worked! She will become an artist of Shanhai Media!

Before you are Shanhai Media's three different contracts for mature artists.

The signing time is different, the sharing ratio is different, and the rest are similar.

The company will prepare matching managers and assistants for each artist.

Of course, if the artist has his or her own team, that's another matter.

Zhao Liying did not have a team. She came to Shanhai Media to try her luck alone, and she succeeded.

"Read it a few more times. Although I've told you the time, you still have to read the specific content carefully."

In Yue Jun's eyes, this girl is really good at that, and she actually came here alone without anyone to help her.

"I, I don't need to read any more, I understand everything." Zhao Liying said firmly.

The conference room door opened.

"Director Lin."

Following Yue Jun's words, Zhao Liying quickly stood up.

As expected, it was the little bun face that Lin Nan saw at the Huayi Annual Meeting.

"Hello Director Lin, I am Zhao Liying, I am 24 years old..."

Lin Nan sat opposite her, and Zhao Liying gave him a completely different feeling from Yang Mi.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Liying is much more restrained. Maybe it is because she has encountered obstacles in Huayi in the past few years and feels a little inferior?

"How do you like it?"

"Look, you can sign it now." Zhao Liying said hurriedly.

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun, who nodded, indicating that he had read the contract in detail.

Before Lin Nan and Yue Jun could talk, the girl added another sentence.

"I want to choose an 8-year contract."

Hearing this, even Lin Nan couldn't help but look at the other party, being so cruel to him?

Yang Mi and Lei Jiayin, one is for 3 years and the other is for 5 years; if Zhao Liying signed for eight years, she will be the one with the longest time.

"Are you sure you've thought it through?"

"It's clear, starting from the end of April..."

Zhao Liying spoke very decisively, as if she was going to fight with all her strength.

"Director Yue, sign it."

Lin Nan gave instructions. Yue Jun is responsible for the Shanhai Media contract.

Just like last time, the artist cannot disclose the signing to the outside until the contract with the original company is completely ended.

Although Lin Nan is not afraid of Hua Yi, the media's gossipy attitude is quite troublesome.

…………

An invitation letter was sent to Lin Nan Films.

It was a reception invitation sent by Xiaoma after his successful financing.

The attention of the film and television industry was immediately attracted. It was another company that was willing to go public at all costs!

Lin Nan was also shocked when he saw the specific content of Xiaoma's financing.

In the past, Huayi's pre-IPO financing was not as crazy as Galloping Horse.

Gambling was actually used!

I remember that in 2008, Xiao Ma raised US$40 million and then entered the film industry.

This time, we directly raised 750 million from several major domestic banks and signed a gambling agreement.

Pony must complete its listing before the end of 2013, otherwise it will have to repurchase those shares at a premium...

Even Ning Hao's "Golden Robbery" became a bargaining chip in Xiao Ma's gambling agreement. It's amazing.

"are you going?"

Ning Hao also called specifically to ask about Lin Nan.

"I'm not going to go there, it's not interesting."

Lin Nan didn't have to go, but Ning Hao couldn't shirk it.

A film and television company is about to go public, but what can it do if it doesn’t have a proven work and a director with good connections?

After all, in this circle, connections are extremely important resources!

…………

Just when the industry was still discussing the Xiao Ma bet, there was news in Cannes.

The first list of shortlisted films came out.

The media turned their attention and started reporting as soon as possible.

"The Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the first batch of shortlisted works for the main competition unit today."

"The list is as follows:

"Sleeping Beauty";

"The Moon of Vermilion Flowers":

"The Source of Women":

"Revenge for My Father":

"The Fault in Our Stars";

..."

As soon as the news came out, the entire film industry exploded instantly!

It's really shortlisted!

A large number of media instantly focused on Lin Nan Pictures.

"The movie "The Fault in Our Stars", directed by Director Lin Nan and starring him and Liu Yifei, has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival..."

"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will step onto the Cannes red carpet in May with their works!"

...

The media reports were in full swing, and a large number of actors and artists in the industry started to move.

Phone calls, text messages, Weibo, all the news...

"Director Lin, you're awesome!"

"Director Lin, you better do your best and win a Palme d'Or! Next time, ask me to play the leading role, I'll give you a discount..."

"Brother Lin Nan, keep going."

"Boss..."

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi and others are the most excited.

If Lin Nan really wins this time, they will all be promoted!

Tian Zhuangzhuang rarely calls.

"I have taught so many students, but you are the most dazzling one. You are better than me. Go steady on the road ahead..."

Lin Nan is really touched to hear the other party say such words.

"Thank you, teacher. You have helped me a lot over the years and blocked so many troubles..."

...

"Reba, I envy you. If Director Lin wins the award again this time, you will be our thigh in the future..."

After Zhao Liying signed the contract, she informed Huayi Agency that she would not renew the contract, and then she was ridiculed by the agent on the spot.

Hearing the news that Lin Nan was nominated for the Palme d'Or, she felt that she was so lucky and didn't have to worry about anything in the future...

"Do you want to murder your husband?"

Liu Yifei jumped and rode on Lin Nan, who almost fell down. Fortunately, there was a sofa behind her.

"Haha, I'm so happy. I'm going to Cannes, muma..."

Liu Yifei was so excited that she was horrible. Her legs were so powerful...

Lin Nan held Miss Liu's buttocks with both hands, which were round and tight. "You look like a koala like this."

"Humph, you are the bear!"

Lin Nan was blocked just as she was about to speak...

…………

The outside world was in a mess.

Another Chinese film was nominated for the Cannes competition unit!

How long has it been since the last Chinese film won the Palme d'Or?

It was 18 years!

Over the years, there have been several Chinese films nominated for the Palme d'Or, but they failed in the end, and they were completely inferior to the results in Berlin and Venice.

The official was very excited, and China Film Group sent a special congratulatory message.

On the official website of Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are pinned to the top. This is all because of the good training of the school!

The reporters couldn't find Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, so they harassed Yue Jun, who was very busy for a while.

Several big directors were also interviewed by the media one by one.

Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" crew originally refused all reporters, but this time they rarely showed up.

"Although I haven't seen the work "Star Luck", I believe in Lin Nan's ability. I wish him a successful trip to Cannes..."

"Young and promising, I wish him good luck." Chen Kaige's few words show his style.

"In fact, there is no need to care so much about the award, but congratulations on his nomination..."

"Lin Nan is OK, I support him, and he will definitely stand to receive the award!"

…………

This is just a nomination, and the actual opening is still two months away.

Lin Nan calmed down and started to do business. He called Wang Changtian

"I just happened to congratulate you on your nomination for the Palme d'Or on the phone, haha..."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I have something serious to say this time."

"Go ahead, tell me about our relationship."

Since Wang Changtian said so, Lin Nan was not polite.

"When I talked about "Painted Wall" with Mr. Wang last time, I remember that Guangguang will make another movie this year. Let me know when the casting is ready."

"Why, do you want a role?"

It means that Guangguang has no artists to show off, so Lin Nan would rely on his relationship to ask Wang Changtian for this.

This is how to use connections, the more you use them, the deeper the friendship!

"Yes, I recently signed a new person." Lin Nan said bluntly.

Wang Changtian agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, the casting will be in the next two months, you can choose. Anyway, the special effects will have to be done by Tiangong Color, hehe..."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."

"It's too formal, it's awkward, we don't need to be so polite in our relationship."

…………

Although those projects of Guangguang are not very good in Lin Nan's eyes, they are definitely more than enough for Zhao Liying at this stage.
