Chapter 730 No Way?

The next morning, the entire mainland film and television industry was attracted by the announcement from Alibaba Pictures, and was immediately shocked and stunned.

Among the announcements, the most eye-catching one is that Zhao Yanzi spent HK$3.088 billion to purchase shares of Alibaba Pictures and officially became the second largest shareholder.

Next is the internationally renowned actor and kung fu emperor Jet Li, who officially serves as the non-executive director of Alibaba Pictures.

Following the announcement of Alibaba Pictures, its Hong Kong stock price skyrocketed!

No one dares to question Zhao Yanzi's status. This is one of the top assets in the film and television industry!

Lin Nan sat in the office, flipping through the news about Alibaba Pictures, yawning heavily from time to time.

If you say the wrong thing and offend Liu Yifei, you will have to pay the price.

With the tenacity and physical strength to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, as well as her gender advantage, Miss Liu won.

But she wasn't feeling well at the moment and was still sleeping in at home. I guess lunch will have to be eaten in the afternoon.

"Has the third floor started yet?"

When the assistant came in to deliver coffee, Lin Nan asked in passing.

When he first arrived at the company, there were a lot of RVs and cars parked downstairs, all of which cost more than a million dollars.

Today's actors and stars don't have to make money too easily. With the skyrocketing salary, all of them are making a lot of money.

"It just started five minutes ago. Director Guo Fan was auditioning in person, Director Yue was also there, and Director Lu Yang was invited to help."

Lin Nan nodded. He came early and didn't see Lu Yang.

After taking a sip of coffee, Lin Nan warned, "I'm going to the film school. If they come to see me on the third floor, just ask them to call."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan promised Cao Baoping that he would go to school.

He rested at home yesterday afternoon and didn't go anywhere. He had to do business today.

After entering the elevator, he originally planned to go downstairs directly, but Lin Nan hesitated and decided to go to the third floor to take a look to see who was auditioning.

You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but he looks like an acquaintance.

A large group of actors and assistants or agents were waiting in the large conference room, while Guo Fan and others were auditioning in the small conference room.

Lin Nan spotted Shen Teng at a glance. The latter's sharp eyes also saw Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, I've been quite idle lately. Lao Yan asked me to give it a try. Aren't we all our own people? Hehe..."

Good guy, is it inappropriate to say this on this occasion?

Lin Nan smiled and just nodded.

"Senior Brother Lin, will you audition with us?"

Jiao Junyan suddenly raised his head and startled Lin Nan.

"I'm not participating in the audition. You all can do your best."

Lin Nan didn't stay long. If he stayed any longer, he would be drowned out by greetings from "Director Lin" one after another.

After going downstairs, he drove straight to the film school.

"Get out of here!" "Tumor King" is handled by Guo Fan, who is more concerned about "The Murderer".

The New Year's Day holiday and winter vacation are about to begin, but the film school is extremely busy.

Because the final exams of art schools are usually relatively early; and a large number of freshmen from the 15th class of art exams have come early to "adapt to the environment."

It cannot be denied that quite a few of these people are "confident" because they all have connections or are looking for connections.

Even if your connections are not strong enough and you cannot get into the performance department, you can still advance to related majors, and the starting point will definitely be higher than those "amateurs" who enter the performance department!

Amid the "eager" looks and greetings along the way, Lin Nan went straight to the Literature Department.

In the publicity column, the poster of "Little Love: Getting Better" is very conspicuous and takes up all the space.

After all, it is the first commercial film by Nortel's own great director Gu Changwei, so the school is quite supportive of it.

And I heard that the box office on the first day it came out yesterday was pretty good, about 36 million.

However, Lin Nan estimated that Gu Changwei, like Xu Ke, was definitely very tired after filming this movie. After all, he was training Yang Ying!

What does Nortel say? Perhaps the most beautiful one on the surface is the performance department. But the boss is always in other departments!

The Department of Literature alone has two great working directors, Cao Baoping and Xue Xiaolu, and its weight is only lost to that of the Director Department.

The art and photography departments also have great directors in large numbers!

When Lin Nan arrived at the Literature Department, she was really surprised to see Gu Changwei.

"Director Gu, what are you doing?"

"I have something to do when I come to school. I stopped by here to sit down. I'm going back soon." Gu Changwei said with a smile.

"Then walk slowly."

The two of them passed each other, and suddenly, Gu Changwei behind him asked: "Lin Nan, are you currently casting for your company's movie about terminal illness?"

Lin Nan turned around and said subconsciously: "Guo Fan is auditioning at the moment."

"Oh, I understand. Besides the heroine, are there any female characters with more dramatic roles?"

"have it."

Lin Nan nodded hesitantly, already having some guesses in his mind.

But Gu Changwei didn't say anything further, he just nodded with a smile and left.

"I advise you to be prepared."

Cao Baoping leaned on the door frame of his office and teased Lin Nan.

"Teacher Cao, are you talking about the character that Director Gu just asked about?"

"Asking knowingly. He was asking his niece. But do you know why he didn't ask you in person?"

Lin Nan was also guessing Ma Chun, but he couldn't figure out why Gu Changwei didn't speak.

"Why?"

"He will ask you. You have been in Hollywood for ten days, so you don't know. Both of them are very active.

One is still in contact, and the other was photographed traveling in France with a young man. A few days ago, there were rumors in the circle that they were getting divorced."

Cao Baoping was rarely gossipy. After all, Director Gu is the only big director at this age who is still active.

But in general, the man did it on the first day of the month, and the woman did it on the fifteenth day!

"So?"

"I guess he wants to reconcile. After all, Xiao Jiang really loves her niece. He should tell Xiao Jiang about this first and take credit.

Old Gu will never divorce in this life. He is like Zhang Yimou, both of them are very "stubborn" to pass on the family line. Sons are the root of life! If you want him to divorce, it is only possible if there are sons outside. Haha..."

Good guy, Lin Nan finally knew where Ms. Zhang lost all these years. She lost in love because she was not decisive enough.

That's right, if you make up your mind, can't you just give birth to two sons? You will definitely be supported for life! But she has been hanging around for so many years, which is really amazing!

But who can tell the truth about this kind of thing? It's too messy, and everyone is wrong.

The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more interesting it was. It seemed that the couple was brought together by Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou.

"Teacher Cao, let's read the script."

"Well, sit down."

Cao Baoping took out his finished script from the drawer of his desk... "The Murderer", and handed it to Lin Nan with great expectation.

"This script is very interesting. This is my first time to make a suspenseful black comedy!"

Lin Nan took it with both hands and silently flipped through this "The Murderer".

Cao Baoping's scripts are always as rigorous as his movies. After all, he is a professor who teaches film screenwriting in the Department of Literature and has been teaching for more than 20 years.

Half an hour later, Lin Nan closed the script.

"What is Teacher Cao's budget?"

"40 to 60 million, I think it should be about the same. I won't use those actors who are too expensive."

The price is indeed not much, and Lin Nan nodded immediately.

"You can go directly to Yue Jun later. I will say hello to him. And have you decided on Zhang Yi?"

"Well, I think he is quite suitable. He happens to be from your company. He is the one. I will pick the others myself."

"Okay, let's do it. You can submit the script for review."

"Okay."

...

Lin Nan originally wanted to wait for Xue Xiaolu to finish her class and ask about "Love in Seattle 2", but it turned out that there were several classes in a row.

He had no choice but to leave after waiting for more than half an hour.

He did not go to the directing department and got into his car directly to go back to the company.

But before the car started, the phone suddenly came in.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Teacher Cao really got it right? This is not easy to deal with!"

Muttering this, Lin Nan still answered the phone.

"Hello, Sister Wenli?"

"Director Lin, you should still be in school now, right? Are you free? I want to invite you to dinner at noon."

They are all smart people. The other party must know whether Lin Nan is still in school.

After all, she graduated from Beijing Film Academy and has been teaching at the Film Academy for so long. Just call and ask.

"I'm just about to go back. Then, Sister Wenli, please book a place."

"Okay, you see..."

Another five minutes later, a detailed address was sent over.

Lin Nan had just thrown his phone on the passenger seat and started the car when another call came in.

He glanced at the caller notes and his heart skipped a beat.

"No way?"
