Chapter 552 Invitation, Rejection

With a hint of expectation and speculation, Lin Nan met the visitor in the reception room on the third floor.

To be precise, he and Liu Yifei had met the visitor once before when they went to the Central Academy of Drama to promote "Bad Genius".

At that time, it was this nearly fifty-year-old director who took them to visit the school history museum, honor exhibition hall and student drama club of the Central Academy of Drama, and watched the performance.

At that time, Lin Nan was still sighing with Liu Yifei, looking at the honor wall of other people's Central Academy of Drama, all of them are famous actors.

Looking back at the Beijing Film Academy, all the directors took the lead, and the acting department was crushed in all directions.

"Director Lin, I came here suddenly today, did I disturb you?"

"No, you should just call me by my name." Lin Nan greeted with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's fine. I won't beat around the bush here today."

"You say."

"The new campus of the Central Academy of Drama has just been built. The school plans to invite outstanding filmmakers, directors, and actors from the film and television industry to teach at the school..."

The other party smiled and explained in detail the new policy of the Central Academy of Drama and the list of people to be invited.

Lin Nan's face was calm, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

He thought of what Tian Zhuangzhuang said to him when he went to Beijing Film Academy to support Han Jianu at the end of July.

Now it seems that Tian Zhuangzhuang really guessed it right. The Central Academy of Drama is here to recruit him? And it's a direct visit!

Lin Nan listened to the names that came out of the other party's mouth, lowered his head slightly, and tried to hold back his laughter.

Let's not talk about Jiang Wen, who was originally from the Central Academy of Drama, but what about the others?

Starting from Zhang Yimou, Lin Nan, Gu Changwei... Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Guo Fan... There are old and young ones.

Good guy, after more than ten minutes, Lin Nan finally heard it.

As long as they are still working outside and not holding a post in an art school, no one will be spared.

No matter how many of them can be successful in the end, they will just catch the big directors from Beijing Film Academy, poach them, and fleece the "brother schools"!

Because every famous big director is a vital resource in the industry and also represents a resource channel.

This can no longer be simply said to be poaching people to teach on a temporary basis, this is grabbing resources.

As long as a big director is poached back, it can correspondingly drive the future of several majors and even students.

"How about it? You can consider it. The Central Academy of Drama is directly under the Ministry of Education. It's hard to say to others, but your associate professorship is absolutely no problem. After that..."

Lin Nan smiled helplessly. It was an associate professor again. He was thinking about what to say in a while.

But before Lin Nan could speak, the other party changed the topic and didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I won't make it difficult for you. You don't need to give me a reply now. You think about it and give me news after a while."

As he spoke, the other party was about to get up.

"Your company seems to be quite busy, so I won't bother you for now. Several young teachers are still waiting downstairs."

"I'll see you off." Lin Nan stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

"I'll have to invite other people on behalf of the school later. Guo Fan and Lu Yang are also from your company. It would be great if we could be together then, haha..."

Thinking of Guo Fan, who left the office at the same time as him and went to Tiangong Colors more than half an hour ago, Lin Nan just smiled and didn't respond. He didn't intend to reveal that Guo Fan was in the company.

Watching the other party enter the elevator, Lin Nan sighed.

To be honest, the Central Academy of Drama has the best atmosphere among the three major art schools, and it is really an ideal place to go.

But Lin Nan still had to disappoint the other party. He had already agreed to Tian Zhuangzhuang, which means he had agreed to Beijing Film Academy.

He would be more comfortable teaching at his alma mater, and the most important thing is that he is a direct descendant!

"Then refuse it in two days."

...

During this period, the hottest topic on the Internet is the elimination round of the top 10 of the Super Boys.

I heard that Yang Mi also went to help out and sang a cappella for the one called Hua Chenyu.

Unfortunately, her skills were not good enough and she was out of tune, which was a bit embarrassing. She was mocked by a large number of netizens online.

Liu Yifei was not there, and Lin Nan felt bored staying alone, so she simply accepted Jiang Xingrou's suggestion and went to visit the set.

As for the new movie, at least we have to wait until the special effects of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" are completed before making plans.

"Red Sorghum" started filming in early June, and it has been 3 months now.

When Lin Nan arrived at the crew, it was the last shot of the morning, and Qin Hailu finished filming.

In less than 5 minutes, with Zheng Xiaolong's "click", all the staff relaxed.

"Director Lin."

"Director Zheng, you have worked hard."

"Haha, it sounds like you won't pay me for the film." Zheng Xiaolong joked.

"Director Jiang, I asked someone to send a truck of fruit over. You can arrange to distribute it later."

Lin Nan instructed Jiang Xingrou.

"Okay, Director Lin."

At this time, Zhu Yawen and Zhou Xun ran over after hearing the voice, while Qin Hailu said hello to Lin Nan and went to remove her makeup.

"It's only because Yifei joined the crew that Director Lin has time to visit the set? That's really not nice."

"Xun brother, you stole my lines." Zhu Yawen teased.

"Old Zhu, if you say that, I'm sorry. You hold a wedding, and I have the most people to attend, so forget about the gift money."

"Don't worry, I get the gift even if I'm there. And you and Yifei haven't gotten married yet, so you have to settle your own affairs!"

"Haha..."

"It's so funny, hehe..."

"Your uncle's."

…

Zhu Yawen's words made many people present laugh, and Lin Nan couldn't help but curse.

"Since the filming started until now, he has been talking about this on the set."

"None of the creators will be able to escape by then, they will all have to take a gift..."

Zheng Xiaolong and Zhou Xun complained about Zhu Yawen one after another. This is indeed something Lao Zhu can do.

Lin Nan had lunch on the set. A large cart of various fruits was divided neatly.

This guy Zhou Xun is a picker of expensive things, and he even talks about beating up this rich guy like Lin Nan...

From Zheng Xiaolong's mouth, Lin Nan learned about the filming progress.

"It's still a bit difficult to wrap up this month. If we play it safe, next month will be no problem."

Lin Nan had no objection to this time. After all, Zheng Xiaolong was a senior TV drama director.

Lin Nan looked at Huang Xuan specifically. This was the first time he took a serious look at the actor he had "said hello" to Jiang Yuerou.

When it comes to appearance, he is indeed the kind of gentle and elegant niche type, no wonder...

Think about Director Gu again. He is indeed talented and energetic, but his only shortcoming is that he is ugly and pretty!

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Huang Xuan."

"Well, play well."

…

Arrive in the morning and return in the afternoon.

In just half a day, Lin Nan's schedule made it onto the front page of entertainment news.

"Director Lin Nan visited the crew of "Red Sorghum" this morning and delivered a cart of fruit."

"According to Director Zheng Xiaolong, "Red Sorghum" will be completed next month at the latest. After that, he will devote himself to post-production and preparations for another Warring States-themed TV series."

"Director Jiang Wen asked actresses at the Venice Film Festival: Can they not have plastic surgery?"

"Starring Kim Bo Hung, Eddie Peng and Luo Dan Wang, the kung fu blockbuster "Once Upon a Time: Heroes Have Dreams" has officially started filming."

…

When she just got off the plane and arrived in Hollywood, Liu Yifei called Lin Nan to report that she was safe.

Although it was already 11 o'clock in the evening in China at that time, Lin Nan had been waiting.

Now two days later, the second call came back.

"It's not easy. Let me do the math. It's about six o'clock in the morning over there now, right?"

"It's almost the same. The time difference between Alberta and the capital is also 15 hours."

Liu Yifei's voice was grandma's, mixed with nasal sounds, and she was still yawning.

"Already arrived in Canada?"

"Yes, I arrived last night. I heard Nolan said that he is going to Iceland later.

If I wasn't afraid that you wouldn't be able to answer the call if you fell asleep, I wouldn't have gotten up so early. The crew didn't start work until 10:30 in the morning. "

The second half of Liu Yifei's words sounded like a cover-up, but Lin Nan didn't point it out.

"Haha, that's really hard for you..."

While talking, Lin Nan couldn't help but yawn and feel sleepy. It was already after 9 o'clock in the evening.

The two of them had agreed before that they would make a phone call in two days at the latest.

Reluctant to let Liu Yifei stay up late, Lin Nan could only stay up late and wait by herself.

Fortunately, Miss Liu was very considerate and tried to get up as early as possible, but she was very stubborn and refused to admit it.

"Go and take a nap, so that you don't feel exhausted during filming during the day."

"Well, then, you should go to bed early... I miss you, muma, hehe..."

Looking at the hung up cell phone, Lin Nan laughed out loud, "Sleep, I'll see you in my dreams."

…………

The next morning, the film and television industry became agitated because of a piece of news.

“According to insiders at China Drama, the academy has contacted:

More than a dozen major directors in the industry, including Zhang Yimou, Lin Nan, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, etc., have expressed their intention to hire.

Rank benefits include associate professor, lecturer and other levels. The specific results are not yet clear and need to be further understood..."

Unlike in the past, the online response this time was a bit muted.

In the eyes of most netizens, isn't it just a good thing to be hired back as a teacher?

But from the perspective of the film industry, this is big news, and it feels like things are about to change.

"Good guys, most of them are directors who came from Nortel! These people are poached, they are amazing!"

"I wonder what the film school thinks?"

…

Lin Nan woke up, woken up by the ringing and vibrating sound of her cell phone.

"Hello?"

Without looking at the caller ID, Lin Nan put it directly to his ear after answering the call.

The next moment, the questioning voice on the phone completely woke him up.

I thought it was something, so I called early in the morning.

oh? It's already past 9 o'clock!

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't care where Lin Nan went, but he couldn't bear the school's constant urging, so he made this call.

After dealing with it in a few words, Lin Nan no longer felt sleepy.

He picked up his phone and looked at the news. This news was indeed the headline.

A large number of people in the industry left messages on Lin Nan's Weibo to ask questions.

I asked him if he was going to the Chinese Theater Academy. He should be an associate professor, right?

Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and a few others have been posting announcements on Weibo one after another.

They repeatedly stated that they declined because they didn’t have much energy and were too busy. To put it bluntly, I just don’t have this ambition and am afraid of delaying my career.

Guo Fan, on the other hand, refused with the same excuse: his character was not suitable to be a teacher.

Other directors are not sure.

"It seems that we still need to reply to the China Theater Company as soon as possible."

Lin Nan muttered with a smile, getting ready to wash up.

But the next second, his eyes caught another piece of news.

"Chen Jinfei, the former general manager of Red Star Wood, signed new artists for his new company at Beijing Film Academy yesterday."

"The former said that the film and television industry is currently developing rapidly and will continue to develop in the future..."
