Chapter 629 The Last Permanent Guest
"What a talented actor, son-in-law of the nation, with a bright future. I really can't figure it out, why did he go to whoring?"
"Rumors, I heard that it has developed so well in the past two years that it was screwed over by a rival company!"
"Regardless of whether he is a good actor or not, it is wrong to engage in prostitution. Moreover, he was caught on the spot. He was interrogated that night and confessed directly."
"I wonder if it will affect my future career? After all, the management of the film and television and entertainment industries is becoming more and more strict."
"Is it strict? Is it strict for celebrities who don't have a strong background? People like him will probably be in trouble. If the relationship is strong enough, can this happen?"
"The 15 days have finally come to an end, and I didn't expect that I would have to undergo internment and education for another 6 months. I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet as an actor."
Starting early in the morning, major news websites, Weibo and other platforms, including state media, were full of follow-up news about a certain A-list actor's prostitution.
Moreover, this actor is the type who has many works and high national popularity.
Half a month later, countless netizens and insiders still feel very sorry that his stardom is most likely completely ruined.
At around eight o'clock, Zhang Jizhong, Kang Honglei, Zheng Xiaolong, Liu Jiang, Gao Yuanyuan and other industry directors, producers, and artists posted on Weibo one after another.
After expressing their pain and criticism last time, a group of people once again encouraged him to get a good education, start over, and become a good actor. He also hopes that the public can give him a chance to mend his ways and forgive him.
I have to say that these wishes and expectations are very good, but they are really unrealistic, because there are indeed signs that the film and television entertainment industry is going to be rectified.
"Whether he was tricked or not, he failed to control himself anyway, so he has to bear the consequences himself."
Lin Nan looked at today's entertainment news and couldn't help but complain.
This was the gossip that happened in the industry on the day "The Invisible Guest" was released. I didn't expect that half a month had passed and it would still make headlines again.
"Being clean and self-sufficient and having connections and backgrounds all have to account for the same thing. It's a pity that he doesn't account for both. They are both worse."
Yue Jun handed Lin Nan the investment agreement for "Charlotte Troubles" and said with a smile.
This contract was just signed when he took people to Happy Mahua this morning.
Lin Nan took the contract and carefully read the core clauses marked with emphasis.
The production cost of 30 million is nothing to today's Lin Nan Pictures, but to Happy Twist, this is a huge sum of money!
"They will submit the script for review today, and in two days they will officially announce the film project and cast external actors." Yue Jun added.
"Well, it's pretty good. I think these people in the circle would be surprised.
I was often mocked and laughed at before, saying that if I invest in a company that produces stage plays, I might as well invest in two youth films. hehe……"
Lin Nan chuckled and mocked himself, then handed the contract back to Yue Jun.
"We will pay two-thirds of the total amount of 20 million, so there will be no problem."
"Then I'll ask the finance department to make the payment?"
"Well, let's call him."
…
The Hong Kong film "Overheard 3" was officially released in the Mainland.
Zhou Xun kept true to his word and specially reserved the theater to invite many insiders to watch the movie, including Liu Yifei.
At around eleven o'clock, Miss Liu called Lin Nan specifically and said that Mr. Zhou wanted to treat a guest and she would not go back.
This resulted in the lunch prepared by Liu Xiaoli, which she could only eat by herself, because Lin Nan also had an impromptu appointment.
The promotion of "Ip Man 3" and "The Breakup Master" has entered a feverish stage.
The two movies have also begun a one-month countdown to their release.
The film industry is waiting to see the excitement.
After all, this is the first time that films produced and invested by Lin Nan Pictures are competing against each other in the same schedule, which is interesting to think about.
At noon, Lin Nan left the company to attend a dinner for the crew of "Ip Man 3". The creative team was in the capital for promotion.
This movie has more stunts than the first two movies that Donnie Yen acted alone.
Because there are two martial arts-level action actors in it, and there are many other big names.
"Director Lin, we have sent information about many artists to the "Running Man" project team before, but none of them were selected..."
During the dinner, Huo Wenxi approached with a wine glass in its sleeve, his intention was obvious.
"The selection of permanent guests is very rigorous. It doesn't matter if you are not selected. You can become a floating guest in the future."
Lin Nan didn't give the other party any objection. He didn't really want to choose young actors or entertainers from Hong Kong Island, and there seemed to be only one or two permanent guests.
Huo Wenxi originally thought that they could still discuss it, but she understood what Lin Nan meant. There was no room for discussion on this matter.
"The mobile guests in each issue are also good, so on behalf of Yinghuang, I would like to thank Director Lin." Huo Wenxi walked down the steps decisively.
"You're welcome."
"Director Lin."
"Director Lin, I respect you."
Just as Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Jin walked over.
One of these two people was appointed by Lin Nan, and the other was greeted by Jiang Yuerou. They are both considered as one of their own.
"Congratulations, you won the Academy Award."
"You're welcome, I'm just a supporting actor." Zhang Jin said politely with a smile on his face.
"Is "Slaying the Wolf 2" finished?"
Lin Nan heard from Wu Gan that Zhang Jin was also one of the starring actors in "Slaying the Wolf 2" and played some kind of prison warden.
"My role is finished, but Wu Dan's is not yet."
…
After chatting for a while, the two left Lin Nan's side without disturbing her eating.
After a moment, Lin Nan's chopsticks suddenly stopped.
He turned his head to look at the table of actors such as Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Jin, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"If one of them is thrown into the Running Man and plays the strongest one, would it be very suitable?"
As soon as this idea was born, it took root in Lin Nan's mind, and it was instantly ingrained.
Action actors are not as affected by reality shows as ordinary actors.
Even if the image will be solidified or stereotyped, can the skills be solidified? They make a living by their skills.
And in the eyes of the audience, isn't the image of action actors always solidified and stereotyped? That is, they can fight! Participating in reality shows can help them broaden their acting range!
"Perfect!" Lin Nan muttered subconsciously.
"Director Lin?"
It was not until Huo Wenxi and Ye Weixin raised their glasses and called him that Lin Nan came back to his senses.
"Well? I'd better drink tea."
As he spoke, Lin Nan raised his cup and clinked it.
After eating 60% full in a hurry, Lin Nan was about to leave without being persuaded to stay.
His mind was still lingering with the idea just now, and he was going to Guangguang in the afternoon to check on the progress of "Running Man".
…………
I just met Tong Gang two days ago, and the script of "The Lost Tomb" was approved at around 12 o'clock today.
The media reported it as soon as possible, and this information also became a hot search on Weibo within half an hour.
"The movie script "The Lost Tomb" submitted by Lin Nan Pictures, adapted from the famous online novel "Ghost Blowing the Light", has been reviewed. The official website of the Film Bureau announced: The review has been passed and filming is allowed!"
The film and television industry and the Internet were boiling all of a sudden.
Because everyone in the industry knew that as long as the script was approved, the next step would be filing and project establishment and casting, and the actors were a little impatient.
Netizens were excited about this novel, which was really going to be made into a movie.
Previously, although all fans and netizens expected this popular novel to be made into a movie or TV series.
But no one was confident whether the higher-ups would allow it to be filmed, even if Lin Nan Pictures submitted the script, no one was confident.
Now, the official news is out, Lin Nan Pictures has really done it!
"Director Lin is awesome! I just want to know when it will be released. This is the novel that everyone read all night in bed back then..."
"Who is the director? Be careful when casting, don't ruin the original!"
"It's probably a good thing..."
...
Lin Nan flipped through the news online, and it was really lively. In just a short while, many people have sent him messages.
"Go and file it, there will be no need for public auditions in the future, just an invitation system."
After saying hello to Yue Jun, Lin Nan drove to Guangguang.
At present, the project team of "Running Man" is temporarily there, because most of the production team are from Guangguang.
More than an hour later, Lin Nan arrived at the destination. He also admired Wang Changtian, and after hearing the news, he immediately came to block him.
The first sentence when they met was to ask Lin Nan when he could talk about the investment share of "The Lost Tomb".
Lin Nan didn't beat around the bush and answered directly:
"In order to pass the script review, I begged Director Tong for more than an hour. As for the share, I will get more this time!"
Wang Changtian was stunned, then smiled and nodded: "This is what I should do. You are the main force and we are just riding on the boat. But don't be too low!"
Lin Nan didn't take up the conversation, but asked about "Running Man".
"Who are the permanent guests now?"
The project leader hurriedly answered: "Reba, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Sha Yi."
Hearing the last name, Lin Nan frowned, and then relaxed: "Okay, Bai Zhantang is not bad either."
"He is also a relaxed person, but he is fat now, not as good as before. But his emotional intelligence is definitely not low, he has a strong sense of variety, is humorous, and has a very good audience appeal."
The project leader explained to Lin Nan why he chose Sha Yi.
"Well, no problem."
Lin Nan nodded, and then thought of the business: "Go and communicate with Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Jin to see what they are willing to do."
"To match the "Running Man" in terms of force?" Wang Changtian asked.
"This is a candidate who can really be the force, not the kind of "macho man" who relies on his body to show force and trains in the gym." Lin Nan said to Wang Changtian with a smile.
"What if both of them agree or both of them disagree? "Running Man" now has only one permanent spot left..."
"I prefer that both of them agree. After all, it's not easy to find resources for action movie actors, and "Running Man" is undoubtedly a top resource." Lin Nan said confidently.
"Since you said so, then choose from the two of them." Wang Changtian echoed.
