Chapter 172: Zhao Liying, Shortlisted

In March, the first domestic film to be released was "Buddha Mountain," for which Fan Bingbing won the Tokyo Film Festival Best Actress.

The director is still the director of "Lost in Beijing," and the heroine is still the heroine of "Lost in Beijing."

However, the result this time is different from the Berlin one; it succeeded this time!

At present, among the post-80s actresses, the most desperate one is Fan Bingbing.

She dares to make all sacrifices for that little pursuit in her heart!

An art film with an investment of 7 million, it received 8 million box office on the first day, which is rare in the field of art films.

This film is destined to make money.

The second day box office was 9 million, the third day was still 9 million, and it achieved profitability in the first three days of the opening weekend!

The eyes of the industry are all cast on this female director. If there is achievement, there is treatment.

When Lin Nan went to the airport to pick up Liu Yifei, he ran into Fan Bingbing and her party returning from Paris.

The latter was surrounded by the media, but still accepted everyone's interviews with a smile.

……

More than half an hour later, someone knocked on Lin Nan's car window.

"Lin Dao is waiting for Yifei? She is on the flight after mine; she should be arriving soon..."

Lin Nan was a bit surprised; Fan Bingbing's eyes are good!

The other party didn't stay long and walked quickly to a car behind.

Less than twenty minutes later, there was another commotion at the airport exit, and Miss Liu was surrounded.

She saw Lin Nan's car, but couldn't get over.

After a long time, Liu Yifei got into the car. The assistants went back to the company themselves.

"These three days are really tiring; on average, three sets of dresses a day, and the time for makeup and removing makeup took up half."

"Hurry back; I want to have a good sleep, and I won't get up tomorrow morning..."

The first sentence after Liu Yifei got into the car directly exposed her nature!

"Okay, haha..."

…………

After sending Liu Yifei back, Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun; the person had arrived.

Lin Nan Film Industry, third floor.

Compared to coming three days ago, Zhao Liying at this time was still nervous and uneasy, but more excited.

Really succeeded! She will become an artist of Shanhai Media!

In front of her are three different contracts for mature artists targeted by Shanhai Media.

The signing time is different, the sharing ratio is different, and the rest are almost the same.

The company will prepare supporting agents and assistants for every artist.

Of course, if the artist has their own team, that's another matter.

Zhao Liying has no team; she came to Shanhai Media alone to try her luck, and succeeded.

"You look at it a few more times; although the time and those things have been told to you, you still have to look at the specific content carefully."

In Yue Jun's eyes, this girl is indeed quite that; she actually ran over alone, without even anyone to help.

"I, I don't need to look at it anymore; I understand it all." Zhao Liying said firmly.

The door of the conference room opened.

"Lin Dao."

Following Yue Jun's words, Zhao Liying also stood up quickly.

Entering her eyes, it was indeed the small bun face Lin Nan saw at the Huayi annual meeting.

"Hello Lin Dao, I am Zhao Liying, 24 years old this year..."

Lin Nan sat opposite her; Zhao Liying's feeling to him was completely different from Yang Mi.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Liying is much more introverted, perhaps because of hitting walls everywhere at Huayi in the past few years, a bit inferior?

"How is it?"

"Looked at it, can sign now." Zhao Liying said hurriedly.

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun, who nodded, indicating that the other party had looked at the contract in detail.

Before Lin Nan and Yue Jun could speak, the girl added another sentence.

"I want to choose an 8-year contract."

Hearing this, even Lin Nan couldn't help but look at the other party; so cruel to herself?

Yang Mi and Lei Jiayin, one is 3 years, one is 5 years; if Zhao Liying signed for eight years, then she would be the one with the longest time.

"Are you sure you've considered it clearly?"

"Clear, count from the end of April..."

Zhao Liying said very decisively, as if to fight with all her strength.

"Director Yue, sign it."

Lin Nan ordered. Yue Jun is responsible for Shanhai Media's contracts.

Like last time, before the contract with the original company is completely finished, the artist cannot disclose the signing to the outside world.

Although Lin Nan is not afraid of Huayi, with the gossip spirit of the media, it is also quite troublesome.

…………

An invitation letter was sent to Lin Nan Film Industry.

It was the invitation to the banquet issued by Xiaoma after successful financing.

The eyes of the film and television circle were instantly attracted; it is another company that will stop at nothing to list!

Lin Nan saw the specific content of Xiaoma's financing and was also startled.

The financing before Huayi listed was not as crazy as Xiaoma Pentium.

Actually used a gambling agreement!

I remember in 2008, Xiaoma raised 40 million USD, and then entered the film industry.

This time, it directly raised 750 million from several major domestic banks and signed a gambling agreement.

Xiaoma must complete the listing before the end of 2013, otherwise it will have to repurchase those shares at a premium...

Even Ning Hao's "Guns and Roses" became a bargaining chip in Xiaoma's gambling agreement, simply...

"Are you going?"

Ning Hao specifically called to ask Lin Nan.

"I don't plan to go; it's meaningless."

Lin Nan can not go, but Ning Hao can't shirk it.

If a film and television company wants to list, how can it do without works that can be taken out and directors with good relationships?

After all, in this circle, connections are extremely important resources!

…………

Just when the industry was still discussing Xiaoma's gambling matter, there was news from Cannes.

The first list of shortlisted films came out.

The media turned their eyes and started reporting for the first time.

"The Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the first batch of shortlisted works for the main competition unit today."

"The list is as follows:"

"'Sleeping Beauty';"

"'Hanezu':"

"'The Source':"

"'The Beaver':"

……

"'The Fault in Our Stars';"

……"

Once the news came out, the entire film circle exploded instantly!

Really shortlisted!

A large number of media instantly focused on Lin Nan Film Industry.

"The film 'The Fault in Our Stars', directed by Lin Dao Nan and starring himself and Liu Yifei, has been confirmed to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival..."

"Lin Dao Nan and Liu Yifei will step on the Cannes red carpet in May with their work!"

……

The media's reports were in full swing, and a large number of actors and artists in the industry moved one after another.

Phone calls, text messages, Weibo, a flood of news...

"Lin Dao, awesome!"

"Lin Dao, you have to be powerful and bring back a Palme d'Or! Next time you find me to play the lead, sister will give you a discount..."

"Brother Lin Nan, come on."

"Boss..."

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, and others were the most excited.

If Lin Nan really hits it this time, then they will all follow and rise to heaven!

Tian Zhuangzhuang rarely called.

"I have also brought so many students, the most dazzling one is you; you are better than me. Walk steadily on the road ahead..."

Being able to hear the other party say such things, Lin Nan was really moved.

"Thank you teacher; you have helped me a lot over the years, blocking so many troublesome things..."

……

"Reba, I really envy you. If Lin Dao wins a big award again this time, then you will be our thigh in the future..."

After Zhao Liying signed the contract, she informed Huayi Agency that she would not renew the contract, and then was mocked by the agent on the spot.

Hearing the news of Lin Nan being shortlisted for the Palme d'Or at this moment, she felt that she was really too lucky, and she didn't have to worry about anything in the future...

"Are you trying to murder your husband?"

Liu Yifei jumped and rode on Lin Nan; the latter almost lay down, fortunately, it was a sofa behind him.

"Haha, I'm so happy; I'm going to Cannes, muma..."

Liu Yifei, who was over-excited, is terrifying; these legs, the strength is amazing...

Lin Nan supported Miss Liu's buttocks with both hands, round and firm, "You look like a koala like this."

"Hmph, you are the bear!"

Just about to speak, Lin Nan was blocked...

…………

The outside world can be said to be a mess.

There is another Chinese film shortlisted for the Cannes competition unit!

How long has it been since the last Chinese film Palme d'Or?

It's eighteen years!

Over the years, there have been several Chinese films shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, but none of them succeeded in the end, completely incomparable to the results in Berlin and Venice.

The official was very excited, and China Film Group specifically issued a congratulatory message.

On the official website of the Beijing Film Academy, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were topped; this is all good training by the school!

Reporters couldn't find Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, so they harassed Yue Jun, and the latter was busy for a while.

Several big directors were also interviewed by the media one by one.

Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" crew originally refused all reporters, but this time they rarely showed their heads.

"Although I haven't seen the work 'The Fault in Our Stars', I believe in Lin Nan's strength; I wish him a successful trip to Cannes..."

"Young and promising, wish him success." Chen Kaige's words were few, showing his style.

"Actually, there is no need to care so much about awards, but congratulations to him for being shortlisted..."

"Lin Nan is okay; I support him; he must stand and receive the award!"

…………

This is just shortlisted; there are still two months before the actual opening.

Lin Nan calmed down and started doing serious business. He called Wang Changtian.

"Just happened to congratulate you on being shortlisted for the Palme d'Or on the phone, haha..."

"Thank you Chairman Wang, I have serious business this time."

"Say it, our relationship, just say it directly."

Wang Changtian said so, and Lin Nan was not polite.

"When I talked about 'Mural' at Chairman Wang's place last time, I remember Enlight Media will start another film this year; when the time comes to cast, notify me."

"Why, do you want a role?"

It is because Enlight Media has no artists that can be taken out that Lin Nan will open this mouth to Wang Changtian based on the relationship.

Connections are used like this; the more you use them, the deeper the friendship!

"Yes, I just signed a newcomer recently." Lin Nan said bluntly.

Wang Changtian didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.

"No problem, casting is in these two months; you just come to pick. Anyway, when the time comes, special effects and so on will still have to be done by Tiangong Color, haha..."

"Okay, then thank you Chairman Wang."

"Being too polite makes it distant; our relationship doesn't need to be so polite."

…………

Those projects of Enlight Media, although they are not very good in Lin Nan's eyes, are definitely more than enough for Zhao Liying at this stage. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====
