Chapter 506 Assistant Director

Lin Nan really didn't expect that Zhen Zidan and his agent would come to the company and want to see him.

"What a joke, if he wants to see me, should I agree?"

Yue Jun's laughter came from the other end of the phone:

"I also think they have a problem with their brains. Isn't it obvious that they don't need Zhen Zidan."

"Leave it to you, I don't have time to deal with it."

"Okay, I'll push it to Ying Huang directly, anyway, they are also doing the external casting."

"Okay."

Reception room on the third floor of Lin Nan Film Studio.

Zhen Zidan and his agent have been waiting since they were brought here by the front desk.

The two were told that Director Lin Nan doesn't come to the company often, and Director Yue Jun will come later.

When the door of the reception room opened, Zhen Zidan and his agent stood up.

"Director Yue."

"Sit down, what's the matter with you today?"

Yue Jun pretended to know nothing and asked.

Zhen Zidan and his agent knew very well that the other party was pretending to be confused, pretending to be confused openly.

The agent was not vague and spoke directly:

"Director Yue, we want to ask about "Ip Man 3". Zidan performed very well in the first two films. I wonder when the contract for this one will be issued?"

Yue Jun couldn't help but look at the agent opposite him. It's good, he pretended too!

"Did you ask the wrong person? In the first two films, did you see Lin Nan Films getting involved in this matter? Isn't it all done by Ying Huang?"

"But..."

"You should go back. The casting, contract signing, and filming of the movie are all done by Ying Huang. We don't interfere."

Interrupting the other party's words, Yue Jun continued to add before he could speak: "I have to go to Bad Monkey Films in a while, so I won't keep you two for a while."

After that, Yue Jun smiled and nodded at the two of them, and walked out of the reception room first.

...

Zhen Zidan's face was gloomy, and he looked back at the Lin Nan Film Building.

Countless fantasies of turning over were shattered at this moment.

Ying Huang?

It would be a ghost if Ying Huang would issue him a contract!

"Zidan, let's go. Let's go directly to the airport and return to Hong Kong Island."

Until the agent shouted in the car, Zhen Zidan reluctantly got into the back seat, as if with a frosty face.

...

Lin Nan had just left home and drove to Beijing Film Academy.

"Little girl, the phone can't be reached."

Muttering to himself, he arrived at the school gate, and there was a lot of traffic.

After all, it was already May, and the annual graduation season was just around the corner.

Lin Nan's face could be used as a pass in school, one of his signature features.

The security department let him drive in without saying a word.

"Hey, isn't this Director Lin?"

As soon as he got off the car, Lin Nan saw Lao Zhou leading a few students. They didn't seem to be students at school?

"Teacher Zhou, what are you doing?"

"Oh, they are freshmen, and they came here to study in advance..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was too embarrassed to say it out loud. What does it mean to come here to study in advance?

Coming to school more than three months in advance, is that studying?

That's to find opportunities. It's obvious that his family has some connections.

Before graduation every year, a large number of brokerage companies and film and television companies in the circle will appear in the three major art schools.

This is much more than the companies that come purely to discover new talents during the art exam.

Among them are the top film and television companies and brokerage companies in the industry, as well as big agents.

"Then you are busy. I'm going to the graduate school."

"Looking for Director Tian?"

"Yeah, almost."

Lin Nan waved his hand and walked away.

Several students were still looking at Lin Nan's figure, feeling a little eager.

"Don't look at it, Shanhai Media is not easy to get in. There is not a single contracted actor from Beijing Film Academy. Really!"

…………

When Lin Nan arrived at the place, he knew why Han Jianu's phone was not connected.

Summer vacation is coming soon, and she is taking the exam!

"It's so funny. If Mr. Han saw his daughter scratching her ears and cheeks in the directing department exam room, I wonder how he would feel?"

"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down."

Outside the classroom, Lao Jiang caught Lin Nan and chatted.

"I tell you, after graduation, whether she will become a director or not is another matter."

"Why do you say that?"

"I regretted it a few days ago, saying that I should have applied for the Department of Literature. After a semester, I spent two-thirds of my time there, and I am more familiar with Xue Xiaolu than with me!"

Old Jiang said unhappily, and pointed at Han Jianu through the window:

"Don't think about it, I will definitely take the make-up exam next semester."

In less than 20 minutes, the exam inside was over, and more than a dozen graduate students came out one after another.

Lin Nan waved at Han Jianu, and the other's eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother Lin, why are you here? Looking for me?"

"Yes, let's go to the small restaurant and sit down. It's almost time for dinner."

"Okay, you treat me."

"No problem."

…………

Lin Nan felt that he was overthinking, and he didn't even need to open his mouth to fool him, no, to invite him.

Han Jianu looked at him and asked proactively:

"Brother Lin, I heard that you are preparing a new film. Are you still in need of an executive director?"

Lin Nan asked with interest, "So proactive?"

"Oh, well, I don't want to make up the exam. I'll use my practical results in exchange. Hehe..."

Looking at Han Jianu being so direct, Lin Nan felt a headache for Old Han.

Han Sanping is a serious professional director, so he gave his daughter a bright path as a director.

But now it seems that his daughter prefers the career of screenwriter, or may become a producer in the future.

"Okay. I originally asked you to talk about this, so that you can practice more before graduation and make your resume look better..."

Lin Nan started to cheat against his will. What a sin.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin. Come back with me later and talk to Teacher Jiang." Han Jianu became excited instantly.

"Listen to me first, I'm not the executive director this time."

"What is that?" Han Jianu on the opposite side was a little anxious.

"One of the assistant directors. Well, he will be responsible for connecting with the actors when the time comes." Lin Nan said pointedly.

"Hello, assistant director. It's the assistant director. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin!"

"Thank you too." Lin Nan muttered softly.

"What are you thanking me for? Just don't think I'm clumsy."

Han Jianu said blankly.

…………

The movie market is already a different story.

"Directed by Zhao Wei, the movie "To Youth" was released for 15 days, with a total box office of 550 million, and the daily box office will reach more than 9 million."

"'To Youth' is bound to surpass the 582 million box office of 'Love in Seattle'. Zhao Wei has become the first female director in the Chinese film market!"

"Directed by director Lu Yang, the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" has been released for two weeks, with a total box office of 440 million. The daily box office is still 8 million, and the 500 million box office is in sight!"

…

Among the Chinese films, the most eye-catching ones are "To Youth" and "One Man's Martial Arts".

Secondly, China Film and Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partner" has also attracted much attention and will be released in 8 days.

At this time, invitations to the premiere were also sent out one after another, and Lin Nan must be a part of it.

"Director Ning Hao seems to have started casting auditions." Yue Junti said.

"So fast?"

"Director Ning is obviously relaxed this time. Many brokerage companies are filling in people."

"Speaking of this, I haven't finished reading the script yet. I'll look at it later."

Lin Nan said with a smile. He didn't know if there were any roles suitable for the company's artists.

Simply, Lin Nan took out the script of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" from the drawer and handed it to Yue Jun.

"Take a look and see if there is any role suitable for them and let me know later."

"You don't want to read it?"

"There is another copy at Yifei's place."

…………

The script of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" is only available in the next couple of days.

Filming this story was much more troublesome than previous ones.

Lin Nan is already ready to go to the film studio to find professional talents.

In the afternoon, as soon as he got home and his butt was still hot from sitting, he got a phone call that put his mood in a bad mood.

It's the same in Hong Kong, and it doesn't stop at all.

"It is suspected that due to the 'Zhao Zhen Controversy', Zhen Zidan offended Lin Nan Pictures and Yinghuang Pictures, and the protagonist of "Ip Man 3" was changed!"

"It makes no sense to change generals on the spot."

"Rumors say that Zhao Wenzhuo will replace Donnie Yen in the third part of the "Ip Man" series."

"Mainland capital suppresses Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen..."

"Yinghuang sides with Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhen Zidan has been abandoned..."

…

The gossip is hotly discussed in the film and television circles and on the Internet.

"One Man's Martial Arts" is still being released, and Zhao Wenzhuo's performance is obvious to all.

If he plays "Ip Man 3", it seems that it is not impossible...

But what everyone is most concerned about is the statement: Did Donnie Yen really offend Lin Nan Pictures and Yinghuang!

Lin Nan has received many calls from people asking about this matter.

The Hong Kong media was very noisy. They had already put Zhen Zidan in the position of the victim. It seemed that they were well prepared.

Yang Shoucheng called Lin Nan personally.

"Director Lin, we will handle this matter as soon as possible without delaying the normal casting and filming of the movie."

"Didn't they just talk about gossip? No need to gossip, just announce it, and just replace him. Is he still a persecutor?"

Lin Nan said angrily.

Only an hour later, Yinghuang issued an informal announcement to the outside world.

"No need to guess any more gossip, I can tell you now that the protagonist of "Ip Man 3" will be played by Zhao Wenzhuo. All other fixed supporting roles remain unchanged, and the new roles are being selected."

"As early as 3 years ago, the reason why the "Ip Man" series was suspended and shelved was because of someone who is now pretending to be innocent and weak.

The current investment budget for "Ip Man 3" is 100 million, but as early as 3 years ago, he dared to ask for 30 million and threatened to strike..."

An informal announcement by Ying Huang instantly pushed public opinion to the top.

The circle was reminded again of Lin Nan and Ying Huang shelving the "Ip Man" movie series three years ago. At that time, many people didn't understand.

Now everyone understands what Yinghuang said.

No wonder a good money-making project is stopped as soon as it is said to be stopped. This is the reason for the relationship.

The quarrel lasted for a long time, but Lin Nan and Yinghuang were still soft-hearted and did not reveal Zhen Zidan's background!

What does that mean now? Why did the Hong Kong media suddenly report this? Casting Zhen Zidan as the weak side.

Everyone subconsciously thought of Donnie Yen whose role was changed!
