Chapter 627: Public, Preparation

I remember that in April 2010, Wu Ershan voluntarily signed a contract in order to get the director's rights for "Painted Skin 2".

In the contract, he promised that he could make a few more movies for Lin Nan Pictures in the future according to the director's salary of "Painted Skin 2", and guarantee the quality.

And the current "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" is just for this purpose, isn't it?

Lin Nan doesn't like this script, and it's impossible for him to lower his status to make such a movie.

Lu Yang is busy with "Blade of the Assassin 2", and Guo Fan is not interested at all.

Now think about it, it can only be Wu Ershan.

"Go contact Director Wu Ershan and ask him to come to the company."

Lin Nan stood at the door of the office and ordered his assistant.

"Okay, Director Lin."

...

In the film market, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was so strong that it took 250 million box office in the first three days of the weekend.

The entire production industry was shocked, and everyone was frustrated and helpless, and could only stare blankly.

Lin Nan's "The Invisible Guest" can still maintain a daily box office of about 20 million with its luxurious main creative lineup and plot quality.

But Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" is a bit miserable. No matter how heartfelt the emotional drama is, it can't compete with special effects blockbusters.

It has just entered the second week, and the daily revenue of the movie has been pressed down to just over 10 million. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office expectations will also be greatly discounted.

Now it seems that the two schedules in May and June really leave no room for other domestic films.

On the market, either the movies of big directors or Hollywood imported blockbusters.

In view of this, Xiying's "The Real Record of Jianghu Swordsmanship" was urgently changed from June to August.

In the eyes of many people in the industry, this decision is very wise.

But everyone may have forgotten another saying, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!

"The Real Record of Jianghu Swordsmanship?"

Lin Nan looked at the promotional clips sent by Xiying. This movie is too real, and the shooting techniques are even a bit ahead of the times.

This means that it may take a long time to ferment and prove that it is a good movie.

"Well, Zheng Kai? It seems that he is also a studio now.

Tsk tsk, the "movie monolith" is really crazy, and it even disbanded the direct artist management business, which is the foundation of the company..."

Lin Nan sneered at Huayi's top management's practice of disbanding the direct artist management business instead of focusing on production. It was too arrogant.

...

The news that "The Lost Tomb" was sent to the Film Bureau had already spread in the film and television industry and the media before the results were announced.

The reason is that this novel is too popular.

"According to industry insiders, Lin Nan Pictures has recently submitted the movie script "The Lost Tomb" for review."

"It is reported that "The Lost Tomb" is adapted from the famous online novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and the time background is the second half of the novel..."

"Yue Jun, director of Lin Nan Pictures, responded to this matter in a telephone interview.

At present, the script is still under review, the director has not been determined, the actors have not been determined, and the start time has not been determined..."

A series of news has made the Internet boiling.

Not long ago, countless netizens voted one by one.

Sent "Ghost Blows Out the Light" to the top of the online questionnaire "Which online novels are most expected to be adapted into film and television works".

Now, it will be made into a movie? Happiness seems to have come too suddenly, making the majority of netizens excited for a while!

The Internet is lively, and the film and television industry is not idle.

The film and television companies, brokerage companies, actors, and brokers in the industry paid attention to it at the first time.

The huge fan base, high popularity and topic volume of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" undoubtedly illustrate one problem, that is, top resources.

Moreover, this novel is different from the brainless "Tiny Times".

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" is famous for its magnificent imagination, thrilling and fascinating storyline, grand and novel background setting, and has a very good reputation!

"It seems that Director Lin will not be the director of "The Lost Tomb"."

"That's for sure. If Director Lin makes such a movie with his status, it would be too low-class!"

"I wonder how the casting is arranged?"

"If this novel is made into a movie, it will at least bring in 500 million box office, no more and no less."

...

On the way to Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan received many calls from acquaintances in the circle.

None of them are stupid. They all know that "The Lost Tomb" is a good resource, and the main cast is very eye-catching!

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang, I can understand others calling, but why are you calling?

It's useless to stare at the role now. Before the script is reviewed, it's futile to say anything."

Lin Nan just finished complaining, and Jiang Wen's "unreasonable" voice came from the Bluetooth headset.

"Don't say these nonsense to me, remember to say hello when casting."

Lin Nan immediately joked: "I think you can't play this kind of movie. Who are you asking for? Senior Sister Zhou Yun or Senior Brother Jiang Wu?"

He was guessing who Jiang Wen would say, but when he heard the answer, Lin Nan was stunned and speechless.

After a few seconds, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I remember there seems to be a suitable one."

"Then it's settled, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan couldn't help but tease, "One by one, old feelings for old things, I give in."

Lin Nan returned to Beijing Film Academy today, mainly to deal with job titles and staffing matters, taking photos, filling in information, and going through the process. The school will take care of the rest.

When the car drove into the campus, graduates in bachelor's gowns could be seen here and there, taking photos and group photos.

The graduation ceremony for the 10th grade will be in early June.

After parking the car, Lin Nan thought about going to the directing department first to say hello to Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lao Jiang and others, after all, he was from the directing department.

Beijing Film Academy is not big to begin with, and a Mercedes-Benz worth several million drove in, which really attracted a lot of people's attention.

When they saw that the person getting out of the car was Lin Nan, the eyes of a group of graduates instantly lit up.

Lin Nan glanced at it and was a little emotional.

When Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan from the 10th grade entered the school, they were the hot spots reported by the media. In a blink of an eye, four years have passed, and they are now graduated.

"What a coincidence today, I actually saw Director Lin at school."

Following the sound, Lin Nan also saw three figures in another direction, not far away. Huang Lei and Sun Li were strolling with a little girl.

"It's quite a coincidence. I heard that Mr. Huang accepted an invitation from Mango TV and participated in the second season of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

"Haha, that's right. It was just recorded in the first half of the month and will be broadcast next month."

Speaking of this, Huang Lei was quite happy. He probably got a lot of money.

"Director Lin." Sun Li greeted.

"Duoduo, call me brother." Huang Lei was a smart man and told his daughter.

The eight-year-old girl reacted quickly, showing a precocious energy, and immediately wanted to call someone.

Lin Nan hurriedly shook his head and interrupted with a smile: "Don't, you should call me uncle. Although my birthday is in the second half of the year, I am also 30 years old."

The little girl looked up and looked at Huang Lei with an inquiring look.

"Okay, then call me uncle."

After Huang Lei nodded, his daughter called Lin Nan with confidence.

After chatting for two minutes, Lin Nan was about to leave, and Huang Lei said a lot of polite words when she left.

When he arrived at the directing department, the scene just now was still in his mind.

It seems that Huang Lei wants his daughter to be in the film and television industry, which is almost like training from childhood!

However, looking at Huang Lei's style, he really looks like the head of a family under the feudal system. His wife is submissive and his daughter...

Lao Jiang accompanied Lin Nan to the vice president's office. Special people enjoy special treatment.

In a room, from taking pictures to filling out various forms, there are people to help, which makes Lin Nan very worry-free.

All the procedures were completed in more than half an hour.

"It will take about 3 months to complete the process, and it's just the process.

If nothing goes wrong, your information will be published on the school's official website when school starts in the second half of the year."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was still a little dazed, "Well, I know, it's pretty fast."

...

"The large-scale costume drama "Nirvana in Fire" jointly produced by Lin Nan Film and Noon Sunshine, directed by Kong Sheng and produced by Hou Hongliang, was officially completed today at Hengdian Film and Television City."

"The urban inspirational love drama "Life Revelation" starring Hu Ge and Yan Ni has been on the air for a week and the ratings continue to rise..."

At noon, when eating lunch at home, Lin Nan received a call from Jiang Xingrou. In Hengdian, "Nirvana in Fire" officially held a wrap-up banquet.

This TV series, which took 4 months to shoot, has come to a successful conclusion.

"Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Liu Yifei asked while picking up the last piece of beef from Lin Nan's bowl. Everything seemed so natural.

"It's optional. Is there anything I can do for you?" Lin Nan asked with a chuckle.

"No need, you've already served me, hehe."

Looking at Liu Yifei's smile, she looked like she had succeeded, Lin Nan understood.

Feelings are a diversion, the initial target is the meat in his bowl!

"You."

"By the way, many people came to me today to ask about the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend", even Li Bingbing and the others are asking."

Liu Yifei bit her chopsticks and blinked her big eyes at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan nodded, he was not surprised at this.

In the background setting of "Mojin: The Lost Legend", several protagonists are middle-aged, and it is understandable that the big actresses are staring at the leading actress.

This movie is enough to make their commercial film resumes more brilliant.

"It's the same as always, push it to me. However, I plan to let Reba play the second female role, and the acting requirements are not high."

"Really, then I have to talk to her and ask her to accompany me shopping in the afternoon."

Liu Yifei immediately became energetic, and Reba happened to live in the capital now.

"Whatever you want."

…

At about two o'clock, the assistant called Lin Nan and said that he was almost there.

After saying hello to Liu Yifei, he went to the company.

When Lin Nan arrived at the office, Wu Ershan had been waiting for twenty minutes.

"What are you busy with recently?"

"Nothing special, except for the commercial business, I am also thinking about it.

A few days ago, I had an idea, when will I benchmark Hollywood and make a big production, I can start with traditional mythology. Haha, I think this idea is unrealistic..."

Lin Nan didn't care about Wu Ershan's words. He was not interested in these things. "Journey to the West" was filmed badly.

After sitting in the chair, he got straight to the point:

"When we were working on "Painted Skin 2", we had a contract. A few days ago, the company sent "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" for review, you know?"

"I heard that Director Lin called me here because of this movie?"

Lin Nan nodded, "Yes, Lu Yang is currently filming "Blade of the Assassins 2: Battle of Shura", and Guo Fan is not interested in this type of subject matter. It just so happens that your style is more suitable..."
