Chapter 600 Lin Nan VS Zhang Yimou
The next day, in China.
While the news about Lin Nan and Oscar showed no sign of cooling down, Yao Dazui also quickly jumped into the headlines.
The name of "Flower of Evil" was imposed on her by the whole network and defined on her.
At the same time, people in the circle revealed a series of black materials about her: she cheated many times during her marriage and falsely accused her ex-husband...
One after another, it accumulated like a barrel of explosives that exploded directly when it met fire.
Facing the uproar of public opinion and the abuse of countless netizens, the Huayi team really couldn't wash it this time, and it was too late to wash it.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Yao Dazui's behavior was completely the result of walking by the river often. She brought it upon herself and there was no hope. A first-line female star, it's over!
On the other hand, media reporters were still squatting at the airport to wait for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
But while they were squatting, they only saw Liu Yifei's Weibo:
A selfie with a little golden man and a certificate in her arms, which was not very professional as always, but also the same youth and beauty as always.
The words written by Miss Liu were a bit boastful and ostentatious, reflecting her mood:
"Interstellar needs to record dubbing, and we can't come back for a while.
Here, let me show you my trophy and certificate, they are golden and beautiful, hehe..."
All those who came to join in the fun and support the show came out at once.
"Congratulations to Producer Liu for winning the Oscar. Why? Why is it the screenwriter award? Haha..."
"Director Lin, there is a thief in the family!"
"Liu Yifei: Although you will get the trophy and honor first, they will eventually belong to me!"
"Director Lin is like a worker, and Yifei is the boss..."
...
Lin Nan received the news forwarded by Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others.
Although the upper echelons of the circle knew that Han Sanping had retired since September last year.
But it was not until today that the relevant departments and China Film officially issued a red-headed document to announce the matter to the outside world.
To summarize it simply, "La Peikang replaced Han Sanping as the new chairman of China Film Group."
After the news came out, the popularity and topic volume of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" suddenly increased by a lot.
This is just a small matter, after all, many people know about it, but the other thing is really a big deal.
The director of the Film Bureau, the direct superior of the film industry, has been replaced.
But this is not bad news, because Tong Ju is still Tong Ju.
He was promoted from the director of the Film Bureau to the deputy director of the General Administration, and he is still powerful!
Isn't this a good thing for Lin Nan and others?
After reading the email message, Lin Nan was in a good mood.
He chuckled and nodded: "Take a break for two days, and then you can start "Manchester by the Sea."
This movie, like "The Hunt" and "The Invisible Guest", is also a prize-winning film.
It has no special effects, no big scenes, only bits and pieces of emotions that are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the sadness that is suppressed to the extreme and cannot be vented.
In this regard, Lin Nan's planned shooting time is still one month, one month is enough.
After all, the director, actors and production team are all professional and top-notch.
The huge villa seemed empty.
Liu Yifei went to Warner to re-record the dubbing, leaving Lin Nan alone at home, and he was too lazy to go to Crystal Pictures.
In the afternoon, a long-distance call came from China.
As soon as Lu Yang opened his mouth, he talked about "The Sword of Assassins 2".
"Director Lin, I'm going to start auditioning."
"Then choose." Lin Nan nodded immediately.
The person on the other end of the phone hesitated and laughed: "Well, Director Lin. The budget this time is a little higher than last time."
"How much?"
"About 90 million."
Hearing this number, Lin Nan couldn't help but complain:
"I thought it was much higher.
The pay has quadrupled in recent years, and the cost has also increased a lot. Your number is already very conservative, let's do it!"
"Okay, with your words, I can let go. If there is an overspending, don't complain."
"Haha, don't worry, it won't happen." Lin Nan could hear what Lu Yang meant.
When filming "The Sword of Assassin 1", the production budget was overspent.
So that Liu Yifei, who was a producer for the first time, was so busy that her mentality almost collapsed.
After talking about the casting of "The Sword of Assassin 2", there was another ten minutes of small talk.
Just a few minutes after Lin Nan hung up the phone, he was greeted by another person, this time it was Yue Jun.
He didn't need to think to know that it must be a work matter.
"I'm suddenly hesitating, should I fly back and spend a few days to finish the work, and then go back to Hollywood?"
"Hahaha, Director Lin, that's not necessary. You can handle it remotely over the phone."
Hearing Yue Jun's hearty laughter, Lin Nan knew that the copyright issue must have been settled.
"Done?"
"Yes, we got the copyright, and the finance department just paid the fee this morning. In addition, they gave us some after-sales service.
They will send a team to assist us during the pre-production, and if we need help later, we have to pay extra fees."
Lin Nan was happy, these Koreans are quite good at doing business!
"Don't think about the extra fees. I'll prepare for the variety show after I go back.
However, Guangguang's team is also very experienced, and we can ask them to participate in the production and bring our own people with us."
"Okay, then I'll keep it secret for now.
Director Lin, there is another matter. There is something wrong with the scheduling of "The Invisible Guest". "
Lin Nan paused and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Because this is an imported film after all, and we are still left-handed and right-handed. So La Dong said not to be too partial, lest the following people gossip..."
Lin Nan understood this and asked him to avoid suspicion and not join in the fun at popular dates.
When the moon is full, it will be waning, so you cannot let him take all the good things by himself.
"Where's China Film's suggestion?"
"May 16th."
"Huh? This schedule is indeed average."
Lin Nan said subconsciously, but Yue Jun chuckled, "The schedule is normal, but the date is unusual."
"How to say?"
"This is also the day for director Zhang Yimou's "Return". La Dong wants two big directors to take charge of this unpopular schedule."
At this moment, Lin Nan realized it instantly. All I can say is that he is worthy of being a great leader and thinks too much.
“Okay, mid-May, just mid-May.
After all, it won two awards at the Oscars, and the publicity was definitely in place. Keep an eye on other things. "
"Yeah, no problem."
Lin Nan calculated the time. The review of the script for "Flower Thousand Bones" should be coming soon. There are still a lot of things happening in the company this year!
…
Following Lin Nan's instructions, Tom has already begun to communicate with the union.
Once the casting starts for "Manchester by the Sea", there will be more actors who want to come to Hollywood than before.
The 15-hour time difference will always cause some news or news to lag behind.
While Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were still dreaming, the domestic film and television industry was faced with a series of "bombings".
The sixth princess's interview with Lin Nan at the Oscars was included in the headlines of film and television news and appeared on major news websites.
"Director Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" and Zhang Yimou's film "The Return" are scheduled to be released on the same day, May 16. The two generations of great directors will go head-to-head."
"Exclusive interview with Movie Channel, exclusive news: Director Lin Nan has been approved for a new film, which is a foreign language film "Manchester by the Sea."
"According to Director Lin Nan, the foreign language film "Manchester by the Sea" will be exclusively produced by Crystal Pictures, written and directed by Director Lin Nan. Casting will begin soon and filming will begin soon.
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by Director Lu Yang, auditions for some roles in the movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" have begun. The list of main actors will be announced after the audition."
…
Actors and artists in the film and television and entertainment circles were all confused.
Lin Nan Pictures really doesn't make any news, and when it does, it's all big news.
After all, director Lin Nan has been competing with another great director for the same period for so many years!
Lin Nan VS Zhang Yimou, "The Invisible Guest" head-on PK "Return", Leonardo, Jessica Chastain and Gong Li, Chen Daoming!
This battle is exciting just thinking about it!
Fans and viewers online are even more excited.
From the perspective of the film industry, it is obviously an ordinary schedule that has no place before or after, but now it has become a hot trend.
Two great directors competing head-on at the same time are indeed eye-catching.
But now, a large number of actors and film and television agencies are paying more attention to the casting of "Xiu Chun Dao 2".
Everyone knows that the core starring roles have already been decided, not through auditions.
Many people even acquiesced in the fact that Yang Mi has already been confirmed as the female lead.
Among the roles released, only the supporting actress is the most eye-catching.
This attracted the attention of many actresses and agents, and the goal was clear.
The leading companies in the production industry and some top actors only care about one thing, and that is Lin Nan's new movie: "Manchester by the Sea."
The production company's idea is very simple. Lin Nan is the boss of Crystal Pictures. So, can the new movie allow everyone to spend money to buy tickets?
As for the front-line actors, especially the big flowers, their thoughts are very simple.
I just want to know when Lin Nan’s new movie will be cast, and will I have a chance?
Because this is likely to be another award-winning film. As for where to go to win awards, it must be the three major European film festivals or Hollywood!
No domestic actor can resist this temptation.
Since they can't wait for audition news from Hollywood for a while, they can take the initiative.
Most people don't dare to contact Lin Nan directly, but they can ask Liu Yifei tactfully.
…
When Ms. Liu woke up naturally from her sleep and saw so many unread text messages and unanswered calls, how could she, who was so clear-headed at the moment, not be able to guess what was going on.
She simply lay on the bed and flipped through the text messages, and within a few minutes she was smiling like a flower.
"Brother Xun, it's true! What does it mean to help her blow the pillow? I don't know how to...hehe..."
