Chapter 22
Didn't wait two days, sure enough, there was a problem.
There is a lot of entertainment news, the biggest is that "House of Flying Daggers" is about to be released, or "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves" are scheduled for December.
There is also "Return to Youth" released in October, China Film, Shanghai Film, Enlight Media's media are numerous, and Enlight Media has even more TV stations with good relationships.
There are many celebrity gossip, those who become monks, car accidents, fighting for husbands, but Lin Nan couldn't stand himself being on it.
"Actress Jiang XX met with a commercial film director alone at a coffee shop..."
"Director Lin Nan met secretly with Jiang Wenli, the latter is the wife of another director..."
Lin Nan used to eat other people's melons and watch other people's gossip. When had he ever experienced this?
There is such a big age difference, how is it possible!
And that mosaic is better not to be hit.
Jiang Wenli also called Lin Nan to apologize. The paparazzi was originally watching her.
Lin Nan understood this in his heart. Since you slapped the actress domineeringly when you entered the crew, you were watched by this group of paparazzi looking for performance.
Lin Nan stayed in the dormitory for three days. Jiang Wenli made a clarification and took out the script photo before it was over.
Lin Nan received a lot of calls in these three days, asking about gossip, asking about movies, and finally he turned off his phone directly.
Liu Yifei's avatar was flashing, mocking and sarcastic, and she wanted to see the script of "Return to Dust". After reading the script, she was even more angry because she couldn't play this script.
Instructed Liu Yifei not to leak the content of the script. Now only a name has been spread.
"Don't worry, I won't even tell my mother."
"What are you doing these two days?"
"Every day bending down, practicing martial arts, reading the original work, um, and chatting with you."
The last sentence doesn't count. That's not chatting. Lin Nan was simply yin and yang weird for two days.
July is here, Zhang Yimou is already dissatisfied with the screening meeting, and actually wants to hold a premiere, and also wants to find Dao Lang to sing.
Fans are supportive, the music scene is sensational.
This is a circle, and it is also a class. The high-ranking famous singers have exhausted their disparagement of this grassroots from the bottom.
Starting from lyrics and aesthetics, and even rising to class.
"What's wrong with farmers? Did farmers eat your rice?" Many people said this, including Lin Nan.
Some people are reasonable on the left and right, comparing sales with people around them. Sales can't compare to grassroots, and they say you can't just look at sales.
Zhang Yimou successfully persuaded Dao Lang, and the music scene started a bombing mode.
Lin Nan went to the premiere, still Old Mouzi's style, color, picture, it is shocking to see on the big screen, but the story, Lin Nan feels not as good as "Hero", he likes "Hero" more, no one can refuse the scene of the Qin army shouting "Wind! Wind! Great Wind!".
Since the new century, in the domestic film market, officially counted by the official, the first film with a box office of over 100 million is "Life and Death Choice".
But if you want to talk about films that truly participate in production by private enterprises and have a box office of over 100 million, then it must be "Hero" the year before last, 250 million.
Zhang Yimou is the first person to eat crabs, the first 100 million club commercial director, and the kind that doesn't lose money.
So since then, Zhang Yimou's influence has become unparalleled. Although many old directors are unwilling to compromise, only commercial films can promote the development of the film industry, not the literary films and realistic themes they are keen on.
"House of Flying Daggers" will continue to break 100 million, no one will question it.
Sure enough, its box office rose, and foreign blockbusters were not introduced from the end of June to the beginning of August, and only one "Troy" was about to be taken off the screen.
This led to the momentum of "House of Flying Daggers" killing everything, 10 million, 30 million, 50 million, by the beginning of August, the box office had reached 140 million, and the film and television industry ushered in another 100 million film.
Zhang Yimou proved himself again, the man behind the national teacher spoke very loudly, and no one dared to refute.
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is about to hold a press conference, right in the capital.
The press conference only does one thing, announce the Hundred Flowers Award nomination list, and announce the Golden Rooster Award nomination list.
Lin Nan had psychological preparation very early, even if he was nominated, it would be a small award, and it was on the Hundred Flowers Award side.
As expected, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Return to Youth" were both nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Excellent Feature Film.
Look at the nomination list on the Hundred Flowers side, most of the films are grounded, the actors are also familiar, the kind that the audience likes more.
Looking at the Golden Rooster, nominated for so many awards, Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" and Feng Xiaogang's "Cell Phone" are actually not major awards, and the major awards are all literary films.
In the eyes of the masters of the Golden Rooster Award jury, the two major commercial film directors are nothing. If you ask why, it is that you don't understand film art.
Freshmen are expected to come very early this year. I heard that the military training plan has already come out. Mourn for them.
And Lin Nan stayed in the dormitory to watch the Olympic Games. Many people in the same session as him bought computers. They were all people who had entered the crew or filmed advertisements. Zhu Yawen's goods got himself a 20,000-plus one, saying it was to watch European and American big movies and learn to use it. Who believes it?
Zhang Yimou is estimated to be in Athens at this moment, waiting for the closing ceremony flag handover ceremony, and the program he directed.
Liu Feiren's final is on the 28th, just today.
After today, the flying man will step onto the altar; after today, the national teacher will be criticized.
Lin Nan looked at the screen picture, track and field entered the final, this is a historical moment, let alone in the Olympic Games.
12.91 seconds, seeing the time fixed at that moment, the commentary roared excitedly, Lin Nan turned off the computer, comfortable.
The media should be exploding.
Early morning on the 30th, Lin Nan stayed up late. The big screen of the closing ceremony venue began to play promotional videos, old people and children, martial arts, drumming...
The first program to go on stage was a dozen girls in cheongsam short skirts, playing and dancing with erhu, pipa, and drums, full of vitality.
Let our own people look at it, it may seem not deep enough, old-fashioned and conservative, but in the eyes of people in other countries in the world, it is just right.
Martial arts performance, Peking opera performance, solo singing..., everything that should be there is there, showing many ethnic elements in a very short time.
Lin Nan slept with his head covered.
On the 31st, freshmen have started to arrive at school one after another.
This time Lin Nan was not forcibly conscripted to welcome freshmen, but he gathered up himself.
In the morning he didn't open the computer, the news content can be imagined.
Several acquaintances were discussing while welcoming freshmen, and there were newspapers on the table.
Lin Nan couldn't help it, glanced at it.
People in the literary and art circles with various titles are not stingy with their tongues.
Short skirt cheongsam, the argument of being neither fish nor fowl has already come out.
The four words of cultural vulgarity are written brightly on it, and the picture is a dozen pairs of white long legs.
"This is who who in our 03 class, it's quite beautiful."
"All beautiful..."
The news of the Olympic Games is overwhelming, and the criticism of Zhang Yimou disappeared quickly, at least the official recognized him.
Time has reached here, "House of Flying Daggers" has long been taken off the screen, and it has smashed more than 150 million box office in the country, far lower than expected.
But even so, Zhang Yimou's status in the film industry is still the first in the country.
People from Shanghai Film and China Film called to remind Lin Nan to prepare for the awards ceremony.
Because this time it is in the country, and he can openly skip class, Zhu Yawen can't wait to go over early.
"The world is going down, people's hearts are not ancient." Zhu Yawen pointed to the computer screen and asked Lin Nan to look.
International Zhang kissed the rich young master on the street, "Rare and strange." Lin Nan said.
The crystal clear Jingjing also looked at the young master. The two brothers seemed to be comparing whose girlfriend is more famous, and there is gossip every day.
"You said we were only nominated for an excellent feature film award, is it okay to go so early?"
Zhu Yawen asked.
Lin Nan mainly didn't want to go to class. Going out a few days early would be for fun.
"Then you stay and go to class for a few more days?"
"Then forget it, let's go over early to eat lamb."
"That's right, I'll take the time to go back to my hometown to see my dad."
Lin Nan went back last time during the 2003 Spring Festival, and asked for the air ticket money to Berlin. It has been a year and a half since he went back to see it.
"That's good, there are many delicious things there, your family is opening a restaurant, I remember you said."
"Then let's go, eating and drinking is absolutely no worry."
The two went to ask for leave separately. Lin Nan's reason was very appropriate. One is to participate in the film festival, his own film is nominated, although it is a marginal award; second, to investigate the shooting location for the new film, this is a rural play.
Zhu Yawen was not easy to handle. There were also Zhou Yang and Jiang Yiyan in the class who would go. When asked why they started so early, he stuttered and sold Lin Nan, saying he called to collect the wind.
The leave was approved, and he was also scolded for a long time. No matter how old the students are, they can always be seen through by the teacher at a glance.
This time I didn't take the train, I flew directly, the neighboring city, it's close.
"I go, General Manager Lin, your family is big enough?"
Zhu Yawen stood on the side of the road, looking at the restaurant in the distance diagonally opposite.
Lin Nan smiled embarrassedly. The old man is agile enough. The two pieces of land bought on the left and right plus his own original shop were actually renovated again, and a two-story building was also built.
This looks really big, antique style, the front door is open to the street, and the left and right add up to more than 20 meters long.
"Can your dad handle it?"
"How do I know, every time I call, I don't tell me how the business in the store is."
Lin Nan was also curious, "Go, follow me in and see." He also told Zhu Yawen to be low-key.
After twelve o'clock, it was the meal time, there were many people, and there were stairs to the second floor on both sides.
"Welcome, what do you want to eat?"
Oh, Lin Nan was confused, it was a waitress he didn't know, it should be newly recruited this year.
Zhu Yawen stepped forward, "I'm looking for Uncle Lin, I'm his son's classmate." After finishing, he laughed himself.
The waitress listened to Zhu Yawen's Mandarin, a little at a loss, and barely said, "The boss is in the back."
Lin Nan didn't let Zhu Yawen continue to make trouble, and took the lead in crossing the main hall to go to the backyard, "Sigh, outsiders are not allowed to enter the back."
The waitress hurriedly chased Lin Nan, the latter had already arrived in the backyard.
Old Lin Tou sat on the recliner under the osmanthus tree, very leisurely, with tea and sauce beef on the small table on the side.
"You old man really know how to enjoy."
"Oh, you goods startled me."
The waitress chased over, and there was Zhu Yawen behind.
Seeing the boss laughing and laughing, this left.
Old Lin Tou was very happy. His own boy actually came back without saying a word. Listening to this meaning, he and his classmates are going to participate in the film festival in the neighboring province in a few days.
Xia Houyuan single room, two bowls of beef bubbles, Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen are eating deliciously, and there are two plates of beef and lamb.
