Chapter 554: Xianxia Script

The small- and medium-cost costume film "The Legend of Swordsman" invested by Xiying held a press conference in the capital.

Lin Nan was invited to the scene, and he was also the only big director among the guests.

Think about the past Xiying, which has produced many big names in the film industry, but now it is also on the decline and struggling.

In contrast, China Film has power, Shanghai Film has money, and Xiying has only the glory of the past, without any help.

Those big names who have a sense of incense and love rarely come to support, which is inexplicably ironic.

"This movie is a political comedy, and the shooting method is also a rare documentary style in China. It will be very interesting."

The people of Xiying stood next to Lin Nan, introducing "The Legend of Swordsman", hoping that he could help shout when the time comes.

Lin Nan nodded and looked at the several leading actors who were being interviewed in front of him, all of whom were second- and third-tier actors or below.

Obviously, Xiying is completely incomparable with the current big brother and second brother, and they can't afford it.

In the past few years, I made a lot of money by cooperating with Lin Nan Films on two "Painted Skin". The rest of the time, Xiying is hard to describe.

When the press conference was about to end, Lin Nan chose to leave early, otherwise it might steal the show.

The movies in September and October have already started the promotion curtain one after another.

Among domestic films, the most popular ones are "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" and "Special Identity".

The former is a series of films by Xu Ke, which is very gimmicky.

And in the eyes of the public, the latter can be so popular because of last year's "Zhao Zhen dispute".

But in Zhen Zi's stand-up, it is not the case.

At the press conference of "Special Identity", news came out that Zhen Zidan made a bold statement to the media:

"This is my third action blockbuster after "SPL" and "Flash Point", and it is also my return to the urban action theme after six years.

Fans and audiences can rest assured that the movie will never disappoint everyone, and it deserves a high box office!"

When asked again by the media reporter whether he had the confidence to surpass the box office of "One Man's Martial Arts".

This time, Zhen Zidan directly interrupted other actors including Jing Tian who wanted to change the topic.

He rarely expressed his attitude:

"It is also an urban crime action movie. In this "Special Identity", I am the leading actor, martial arts instructor, and producer.

I am very confident that it can easily surpass "One Man's Martial Arts" at the box office..."

No matter what the purpose is, Zhen Zidan's speech did make "Special Identity" a hot topic in an instant, and received a lot of attention online.

This "declaration of war" was also jokingly called by the media and netizens as the real "final battle" of the "Zhao Zhen dispute" between Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zidan at the beginning of last year!

...

This year's Venice International Film Festival closed, and no Chinese-language films were released.

Mainland filmmakers and stars, led by Jiang Wen, flew back in groups the next day.

This guy officially announced the final makeup photos of "One Step Away" on the day of the closing ceremony, and now they have also been sent back to China.

Lin Nan was planning the time to visit the set when Jiang Wen called in.

"I said before, no guest appearance."

"I don't expect you to agree to guest appearance, just come to the launch conference."

"Starting filming right after returning?"

"Yes, I'm in a hurry."

This is a small matter, Lin Nan nodded and continued:

"What time, what place? We have an agreement beforehand, I won't go if it's too far."

"Damn it, you are the only one who has so many things to do. The day after tomorrow morning, in the capital."

Jiang Wen's carefree laughter and scolding came from the phone, and there seemed to be someone else next to him.

"Well, it's okay. If you come a little later, I might be in Iceland by then."

"Why, where is Interstellar filmed?" Jiang Wen reacted quickly and guessed it at once.

"That's right. After the exterior scenes in Canada are finished, we'll go there."

"That's great. I heard a lot of media discussing Interstellar in Venice. It's a top Hollywood production.

When you get married, I'll give you a big gift, haha..."

"That's great."

Lin Nan was not polite and agreed immediately. After chatting for a few words, he ended the call.

The gossip in the circle always comes one after another, attracting countless people's attention.

The princess and Li Yapeng divorced, but it gave people a feeling that the whole entertainment industry was in an uproar.

A large number of first- and second-tier stars posted articles to express regret and comfort, which looked very artificial.

The funniest thing is that the news that was pinned on the headlines of major portals was not only about the princess and Li Yapeng, but also about a third person.

Now, Ying Huang was forced to get busy and tried hard to help Nicholas Tse calm the pressure of public opinion, but with little effect.

It was obviously a divorce between two people, but the media and netizens who were curious about the relationship between the two directly pulled out a picture based on the love history of the two.

Wow, if you don't know, you might think it's a family tree, with so many people, so intertwined!

…………

"Director Lin, this is my list, please sign it."

Zhao Liying took a bill and ran to the office to find Lin Nan to sign.

Lin Nan took the thing and remembered that Zhao Liying had borrowed money from the company to buy a house.

"So fast?" He asked subconsciously.

"Director Lin, what I bought is not a villa. The salary and endorsements for more than a year are just enough."

Zhao Liying smiled sheepishly. It could be seen that she was very energetic now.

It gives people a sense of vitality, which should be the reason why they have completely taken root in the capital.

"Don't worry, in two years, you can change to a big villa." Lin Nan said pointedly.

"I would like to take advantage of Director Lin's words of gratitude for the company's cultivation..."

Zhao Liying was a little stumbled when she said this, but she did seem sincere and a little excited.

After Lin Nan signed, he handed it to Zhao Liying.

"By the way, Director Ning has informed you, right?"

"I have informed you that I will join the group by the end of this month at the latest. Other agents who have notified me have already rejected it for me."

When it came to business, Zhao Liying immediately became very serious and started repeating.

"Well, get ready, the script of "The Flowers of the Heart" is very good."

Suddenly, Lin Nan raised his head, looked at the little bun in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "You will be very busy next year."

"ah?"

Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly.

An excited smile overflowed on her face, and she bowed: "Thank you, Director Lin, I, I can endure hardship..."

Zhao Liying understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words, and the company had already arranged drama appointments for her next year.

Ten minutes later, the two of them left the office at the same time.

It's just that Zhao Liying left the company, while Lin Nan went to the screenwriting department.

…………

Originally, Lin Nan Pictures was planning to launch several TV series this year.

But in the end, there was a problem with the script review and it was rejected.

Some TV series are now broadcast online, and it is difficult to recover the cost, or the cycle is too long.

However, due to the limited subject matter, it was difficult to broadcast it on TV stations, so we simply didn’t film it.

Lin Nan thought that when Internet companies come in, the policies above will be loosened, and it will not be too late to implement them then.

As for the screenwriting department, the pace of adaptation and creation has never stopped. It is just working on scripts to prepare for the outbreak period.

Seeing Lin Nan's figure, the director of the screenwriting department came over.

"Director Lin."

"Has that novel started that I asked you to cut in line at the end of last month?"

"We are already working on it, and it will definitely be completed before the end of the year. It will be of high quality. You know, we are very good at this type of work.

In the past, the fantasies of "Water Moon Cave" and "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" were all original works, not to mention that now they are just adaptations of fairy novels. It would be much simpler if they could be improved and polished at most. "

The other screenwriters who were busy glanced at Lin Nan and then went about their own business. This is also the special nature of the screenwriting department.

Lin Nan was taken to an empty seat, and the director of the screenwriting department brought over ten pages of the first draft.

"I have only made these first drafts so far. Director Lin can take a look at them. You are also a great screenwriter, so you can make corrections."

"I've never written a TV script."

Lin Nan said with a smile, but his hands and eyes did not stop, he had already flipped through the character settings.

"Xianxia, ​​the heroine..."

There are only about ten pages of the first draft of the script. Although the framework has only been built roughly and only a small part of the character settings have been made, it is already possible to get a glimpse of the whole story.

"Well, it's very good. The final script is as perfect as possible. This drama was produced by our own company."

Lin Nan handed the first draft back and said smoothly.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, it'll be okay."

To be honest, in Lin Nan's opinion, the story of "Flower Thousand Bones" is not very good, and it is still far behind the original "Sword of Immortality".

But it is definitely not inferior to the "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and it is definitely no problem to praise it.

TV series, aren’t they just for entertaining people?

…………

In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Liu Yifei. Over there, it was still early in the morning, after five o'clock.

"Nolan has found a buyer for the five hundred acres of corn he planted. Not only did he spend nothing to shoot this scene, but he also made so much money. It was so interesting, haha..."

Liu Yifei told Lin Nan about the crew.

"Have you thought about when to visit the team? Actually, this movie won't be shot for long, it will be about a month or so..."

Miss Liu gave many examples and urged Lin Nan.

"I heard that the scenery in Iceland is very nice. How about I go over there when you guys go to Iceland?"

"Well, okay, it's settled. If you lie to me, you're dead."

Liu Yifei, who was lying on the bed and talking on the phone, sounded particularly confused, with a soft, hypnotic feeling, which made Lin Nan feel very comfortable.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for both of them to hold on no longer.

In Lin Nan's mind, the last words he heard vaguely seemed to be Liu Yifei complaining about him:

"Did I get up so early just to coax you to sleep? I'm so angry...ah, I'll sleep a little longer..."
