Chapter 171: Sign Her

In the last few days of February, people from several companies in Japan, South Korea, and other places gathered at China Film Group.

The most important box office markets for "Painted Skin 2" overseas are these few countries.

A group of film merchants watched the finished film in a small screening room, nodding from time to time.

Every director's style and ideas for making films are different.

Lin Nan's "Painted Skin 1" has varied and natural tones, with love as the main line.

But this one by Director Wu Ershan is different; it is more inclined to eerie tones in color atmosphere, highlighting the "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" style.

Han Sanping, Ye Ning, Xi'an Film Studio, and others were also watching for the first time, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of Director Wu Ershan; it's okay!

"Han Dong, Lin Dao, we are willing to introduce this film, and the treatment is the same as the previous 'Painted Skin 1'."

"If its response is still very good, we will consider buying out future copyrights..."

Not surprisingly, the first to express their position was Sony.

"We are the same."

"Can introduce..."

……

In one morning, several regions deeply influenced by Chinese culture all signed the introduction contract for "Painted Skin 2."

However, there is one more item in the terms: Lin Nan must appear on the poster as the main force of the film's promotion.

Mixing in this line requires opportunities. Undoubtedly, Lin Nan gave Director Wu Ershan an opportunity.

"Work hard; if you succeed this time, you will stand out."

"Thank you Han Dong, thank you Lin Dao..."

Han Sanping was in a very good mood, smiling and encouraging Director Wu Ershan.

Everyone is an old man who has been in the industry for many years, and they can easily distinguish the quality of a film.

That afternoon, China Film Group announced the news to the outside world, and several producers followed closely behind.

"'Painted Skin 2' has been confirmed to be introduced to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and other places, and will be released throughout Southeast Asia..."

This news spread rapidly in the circle and on the Internet.

Shanghai Film Studio, Ren Zhonglun also saw this news.

At the beginning, "Painted Skin 1" had such a distribution scale, and finally made a lot of profit.

At this point, he already had some doubts about his behavior of refusing to follow the investment at that time.

"A newcomer director, can he really make a big profit? At most, break even..."

Wang Changtian was also a bit unsure, but thinking about it, after all, he directly refused Lin Nan on the phone; whether it made money or lost money, he was not qualified to say anything.

He shook his head gently and muttered with a smile: "If this really makes money, then I will become a joke in the industry, tsk tsk..."

…………

The international fashion week held twice a year is a show stage that female stars are keen on.

Liu Yifei came here this time at the invitation of the brand, otherwise she would rather stay at home.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet quite a few acquaintances after coming to Paris Fashion Week.

"Can we have a meal together after the event ends in the evening?"

After Fan Bingbing issued an invitation to Liu Yifei, Little Zhang Ziyi also came.

"Ah? It might be a bit inconvenient today."

Miss Liu just refused Fan Bingbing like this just now.

"That's a pity; you must say something when you are free."

"Okay."

In Liu Yifei's eyes, these people are veterans of the social scene, and she is not good at these.

When turning around, it was another acquaintance.

"Crystal, didn't Lin accompany you?"

Liu Yifei couldn't believe it; she actually saw Leonardo here, and he brought a new girlfriend.

"Leo, I'm here for work, and I'm going back the day after tomorrow..."

Little Zhang Ziyi, who had just left and hadn't gone far, also noticed this scene.

To be honest, she quite envied it; after all, she herself was once a "regular" in Hollywood.

But in the past two days at Fashion Week, seeing those acquaintances from before, the other party was a look of "strangers stay away" and "not familiar."

"That's a pity; seeing you just now, I thought Lin also came; it would be just right to sit together and chat."

As he spoke, Leonardo introduced his new model girlfriend to Liu Yifei.

"Then you have to change the occasion to chat; he is not interested in these fashion shows."

As soon as Miss Liu finished speaking, she saw Leo nod.

"It seems so; our first greeting was at the Victoria's Secret Show."

"At that time, he was indeed not very interested, but Tang Mu was full of interest..."

Liu Yifei hung a smile on her exquisite face and continued to exchange pleasantries.

…………

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and others are taking plays in an orderly manner.

They quite agree with Lin Nan's statement, that is, they don't refuse films or TV dramas, as long as the project is good.

The person Yue Jun made an appointment with has arrived and is chatting. Lin Nan is ready to go and see in a while.

At this time, a phone call came in.

"Is work finished so early today?"

"No, there was only one event in the morning; I called you as soon as it ended."

The 6-hour time difference can indeed be like this.

Liu Yifei talked about her refusing the invitations of Little Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, and others...

Lin Nan knows her arrangements; as long as she goes there, Liu Yifei will definitely have dinner with her father...

But as she talked, what does it mean to always pull to the Victoria's Secret Show?

Isn't the one she attended the Paris Autumn/Winter Fashion Show?

The next moment, a memory flashed in Lin Nan's mind:

"Hahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?"

The Miss Liu opposite was a bit angry instantly.

"Is Leo also in Paris?"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, "So what if he is?"

Guessed right! Damn, Lin Nan was backstabbed!

"Don't listen to his big mouth; I was dragged there by Tang Mu that time; just that once, I was dozing off..."

"I didn't ask you about these."

"It's me talking to myself, okay? The air today is a bit sour, haha."

"Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore; I'm going to have lunch..."

Looking at the hung-up phone, Lin Nan couldn't stop laughing.

…………

Third-floor conference room.

The girl was a bit cramped and nervous.

She is not from a professional class, nor is she a second-generation star, but debuted through a talent show.

"I haven't carefully looked at your resume before, otherwise I would have asked Director Jiang to come over together."

"She is in the TV drama crew at this moment, not in the company..."

Yue Jun said in a kind tone.

In his view, the girl in front of him is really from the grassroots, which made him even more interested.

"Yes, I have acted in Zhou Yi's TV drama before, with Director Xu Zheng."

The girl's eyes brightened a bit in an instant.

This is the only thing she has that touches Lin Nan Film Industry.

In the few years at Huayi, she understood many things.

Sometimes hard work doesn't work; the company will always prioritize those who have connections, are from a professional class, or know how to handle things.

Big companies in the entertainment circle are always the least friendly to newcomers without any background, especially Huayi.

And Shanhai Media has few artists. This may be her opportunity.

Actually, Yue Jun has already talked to Jiang Xuerou on the phone and consulted Xu Zheng.

Both of them gave quite good evaluations; Xu Zheng even said that when they were in the crew, this girl asked him quite a few questions about acting.

For the next hour or so, Yue Jun asked many things, including the girl's plans for the future, her current evaluation and understanding of herself...

It has to be said that Huayi is indeed not very attentive to newcomers.

This girl signed a 5-year contract, and so far, she still shares an agent with five other people.

Yue Jun flipped through this dozen-page resume, which detailed all the TV dramas the girl had acted in before.

Under the girl's nervous and uneasy mentality, Yue Jun spoke.

"How about this, you go back and wait first; I will give you a definite answer within three days."

Hearing this, the girl instantly had a bad premonition in her heart, and her brain went blank.

"I, I..."

"By the way, your contract expires at the end of April, right??"

"Ah? Yes, it expires in April; I brought a copy..."

As she spoke, she was about to take it out of her bag.

"No need, I'll give you an answer within three days."

Just like that, the girl left Lin Nan Film Industry; when she was downstairs, she looked back for a long time.

"Hope, there is good news..."

After speaking, she walked away quickly.

…………

Lin Nan didn't expect that he had just watched the gossip about the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the Beijing Film Academy for a while, and Yue Jun had finished here?!

Everything has to start with the child star "Mo Xiaobei" who was eliminated by the Beijing Film Academy.

The Beijing Film Academy eliminated her, and the Shanghai Theatre Academy turned around and accepted her.

When the Shanghai Theatre Academy was interviewed by the media, they didn't mention the Beijing Film Academy at all, but every sentence was inseparable from the Beijing Film Academy.

"Her performance is simple and natural, full of comedy talent, rich practical experience in the crew, and her on-the-spot performance is excellent!"

"For such a seedling, the Shanghai Theatre Academy will definitely accept it. We value the student's potential and ability more in recruitment, and never talk about appearance!"

A sentence of "never talk about appearance!", in the eyes of the vast number of netizens, is clearly talking about the Beijing Film Academy.

At this moment, the media and the Internet are discussing this matter; after all, this child star passed the third round of the Beijing Film Academy, but fell in the physical examination link.

118 students who passed the third round had physical examinations, and only 30 were left. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the room for operation here is much larger than before...

"Lin Dao, here, that girl's resume."

"How to say? It counts as a seedling; Director Jiang and Xu Zheng have a good impression of her."

Lin Nan took the resume handed over by Yue Jun.

For a moment, he was a bit dazed; what entered his eyes was a small bun face.

Yue Jun continued to speak, "I think the eye appeal is okay, and she feels quite humble..."

"The contract expires in less than two months; Huayi didn't talk to her about renewal?"

Hearing Lin Nan's question, Yue Jun stopped.

"Huayi doesn't value these small artists; they just mentioned it and asked for a definite reply before the end of March."

Lin Nan nodded; this is indeed Huayi's style; the Wang brothers only have those famous artists in their eyes; this kind of third-tier and below actor, they don't care at all.

"Sign her. Let her come to the company later, and inform her about the contract in advance, let her consider it clearly."

Lin Nan's decisiveness surprised Yue Jun a bit; this was decided?

He himself had this intention, but it was the result of talking for several hours.

"Okay, Lin Dao. I will notify her later."

"By the way, this period of time will be left for her to consider the contract term..."

A few minutes later, Yue Jun left Lin Nan's office.

"Hmm, the feeling of picking up leaks from Huayi is very good!"
