Chapter 270: Copyright, Attempt

"I think her figure is great, with curves in all the right places!"

On the big screen, *The Avengers* is playing.

In the screening hall, it is not full.

Maybe for most insiders, the most important thing at the film festival is still promotion, socializing, and finding resources.

There are very few who really care about the movie, including the media, who all went to find news and gossip.

"Who are you talking about?"

Lin Nan pretended not to understand and asked Liu Yifei with an innocent look.

"You're still pretending. In the time it took to eat lunch, it's already on the entertainment news. You didn't tell me just now!"

Miss Liu shoved her phone in front of Lin Nan, which was a photo of Scarlett hugging Lin Nan.

"*The Avengers* crew, actress Scarlett Johansson and Lin Dao Nan, reunited as old friends at the Beijing Film Festival..."

"It is reported that Lin Dao once attended the wedding of Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds in Los Angeles. The latter is the male lead of the film *Buried*."

"Oh... you mean this, who knew she was so enthusiastic? If I refused in public, it would make people unable to get off the stage, hehehe..."

Lin Nan looked at Miss Liu who was eating flying vinegar (jealous), and couldn't help laughing for a while, then put her hand in his palm and teased:

"In the air, there is a sour smell, did you smell it?"

"Humph, not at all."

Liu Yifei turned her head away, refusing to admit it to death.

Then she couldn't help but turn her head back, saying casually: "I really think her figure is very good!"

Still fishing?

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and became playful, leaned into her ear, and whispered:

"Whether others have a good figure or not, I didn't pay attention. I only know your figure, after all..."

"Shut up!"

Liu Yifei hurriedly looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she was relieved. At this time, her cheeks were already red.

A pair of watery eyes stared at Lin Nan, and her white fist hammered his arm, "I'll settle the account with you when I go back..."

"Fine, haha..."

"Still laughing?"

*The Avengers* is very burning and cool. People who have watched the film have this feeling, but unfortunately, there are not many insiders.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went back, they heard that something happened after the Director Forum ended this morning.

Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Yang Shupeng, and many other directors all expressed dissatisfaction with the Beijing International Film Festival on Weibo.

Especially for the super-high-standard treatment Cameron received, they were full of opinions, bluntly saying that the commercial flavor was too heavy and he was just here to make money.

Lin Nan looked at it. In half a day, the 3D special effects team led by Cameron on this trip signed 3D special effects contracts for more than a dozen domestic films, which is much larger than Lin Nan's Tiangong Color... I don't know if they can be busy...

These films can all be promoted under the banner of Cameron and the same special effects team as *Avatar* at that time, full of selling points and gimmicks.

Jia Zhangke was the most ruthless, and even wrote a joke:

"I am very happy to be invited to attend the Beijing International Cameron Film Festival and participate in the 3D technology investment promotion meeting held by the government for his company..."

No matter how big the complaints are, it is of no avail. Not only did the above ignore it, but netizens were also laughing.

"Domestic films should pay back the debt! There is a cause and an effect. You are too rubbish yourself, and you blame others for being too strong?!"

After complaining, many directors were jointly making suggestions to the Film Bureau.

Not asking for a domestic film protection month, just asking for domestic films to be supported in terms of production, subject matter restrictions, censorship system, etc.

"I hope domestic films can be slightly more open in terms of project approval, censorship, and subject matter.

For example, isn't it said that there can be no ghosts? Then how can *Ghost Rider 2* come in and be screened in cinemas with great fanfare?"

Lin Nan didn't expect that he just watched a movie with Liu Yifei for an afternoon, and the director circle collectively "made comments."

"Support is still to be supported!"

Lin Nan picked a few pertinent ones, such as the opinions on the censorship block, and also posted on Weibo, just as a contribution...

The *Lost in Thailand* crew is back.

Lin Nan Film Industry.

Xu Zheng looked very excited, Wang Baoqiang was the same, only Han Jia-nv was listless.

"Lin Dao, next I will still be at Tiangong Color to finish post-production."

Xu Zheng said with a questioning tone. He felt that this *Lost in Thailand* was more outstanding than the first one.

And with the first one as a foundation, this time the box office will definitely be better.

He has a premonition that *Lost in Thailand* will help him stand firmly in the director circle.

"Hmm, you can go to Tiangong Color at any time. Be careful this time."

Lin Nan felt that he still had to make it clear to Xu Zheng, "I have already set the schedule for *Lost in Thailand*, December 1st."

Xu Zheng nodded. Lin Nan said before that he wanted to release it this year, but he didn't expect it to be the New Year slot, which is a "must-fight place."

"I know, I will watch the post-production editing carefully and strive for perfection."

After talking about *Lost in Thailand*, Lin Nan looked at Wang Baoqiang.

"Lin Dao?"

"The time is just right, you can rest for more than a week. In early May, *Kung Fu Jungle* will start filming, you and Vincent Zhao are the double male leads."

Wang Baoqiang was obviously very excited. There are not many people in the circle who have this kind of treatment for two consecutive Lin Nan Film Industry films.

"I will act well, action films, I am very good at it."

"I need you to have the state of 'Mr. Tree'. This is a 'crazy, morbid, demonic' role, which will become another representative work of yours."

Lin Nan said confidently, making the smile on Wang Baoqiang's face converge and become solemn.

Xu Zheng and Han Jia-nv on the side also had curiosity, what kind of script it is.

"Hmm, I know, Lin Dao." Wang Baoqiang nodded seriously.

"Go find Director Lu Yang yourself later and see what other requirements he has."

Sending away Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, only Han Jia-nv was left.

"Senior brother, it's already the end of April, look at my exam?"

Looking at Han Jia-nv's flattering appearance, Lin Nan made a joke:

"Old Jiang didn't agree to replace the exam with crew practice."

"Why? This was agreed before. I don't care, it must be replaced... Otherwise, I won't go."

Han Jia-nv raised her voice sharply, looking angry, quite like her old father.

"Just kidding you."

Lin Nan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Didn't fool me this time, right? I didn't attend a single class this semester, I can't pass!" Han Jia-nv asked tentatively.

"Didn't lie to you, you can start your summer vacation early. However, I think Han Dong should find a crew again and stuff you in."

Hearing the first half of Lin Nan's sentence, Han Jia-nv's face was joyful, but the second half came out, and it instantly turned into a bitter melon face.

"Senior brother, I'm sick, I need to raise for a few months.

I'll go back first. Don't tell Old Han that *Lost in Thailand* has wrapped up. He is busy, if you don't remind him, he won't think of me..."

Lin Nan was amused. This kind of father-daughter relationship is interesting!

Guan Hu and Huang Bo's *Design of Death* was also released, but it was even more miserable than Huang Xiaoming's *Pi Fu*.

Except for the first-day box office of 2.33 million, which was more than *Pi Fu*'s 1.21 million, it fell to less than one million the next day.

*Pi Fu* increased to over two million the next day.

Three films that received attention all fell under the feet of five Hollywood blockbusters, which can be described as bones and no existence.

The circle called the three directors, including Ning Hao, "Anti-Hollywood Pioneers," tragic!

Ning Hao also teased himself: "Anti-Hollywood? We didn't think about winning, we just wanted to survive."

Lin Nan met people from Lionsgate and Warner one after another. After all, they have cooperated several times.

Several parties successfully reached an intention to continue cooperating on *Pacific Rim 2* in the future.

Finally, Lin Nan specifically contacted Disney.

For a well-known great director who owns a company in Hollywood, Disney holds a friendly attitude.

"Lin, very happy to be friends with you. Disney is not as arrogant as Fox. Looking forward to our cooperation in the future, just like you did with Warner and Lionsgate..."

"Thank you, I am also looking forward to it, looking forward to reaching cooperation with Disney in the future..."

Disney's eyes lit up, this trip seems to have gained something extra.

A great director who is omnipotent in commercial films and award-winning films is extremely rare even in Hollywood.

Back at the company, Lin Nan called Han Sanping.

"Fine, you arrange people, and follow China Film's team over there."

"Hmm, then it's settled."

Jiang Xuerou knocked on the door and walked in. Lin Nan was just about to hang up the phone.

"Lin Dao?"

"In early May, Yue Jun will follow the *Kung Fu Jungle* crew to Hong Kong. I need Director Jiang to take people to the Cannes Film Festival."

"Is it about copyright?"

"Yes, *Passengers* and *Bad Genius* are traded in the form of copyright in Europe and America.

If you find a distributor, it may not earn as much as copyright, and the time is long and troublesome."

Lin Nan explained.

"Of course, Lin Dao's films are very valuable in the copyright trading market." Jiang Xuerou took the conversation and complimented.

"Over there, you are responsible for promotion, choose big film merchants, limit the number of people, and limit the screening sessions to 5.

If there is any problem, find China Film's people. I have already told Han Dong, after all, they also have a share in *Passengers*."

Jiang Xuerou understood and nodded.

"When it's almost done, I will go over to finalize the contract."

Lin Nan added at the end. In fact, he also wanted to see if there were any good films, and buy the copyright back with money.

Anyway, Han Sanping has promised to give him a few quotas for batch films, so don't use them for nothing.

As long as the film is good, after getting it back at a suitable price, and then settling the screening permit, the box office will definitely not lose money.

As for distributors, they are all ready-made and can be directly found by Enlight.

After Jiang Xuerou left, Lin Nan sat there, his thoughts drifting away.

He thought of Crystal Film Industry and Hollywood.

"Later, I have to carefully consider what kind of film is suitable to film.

It's time for the Oscars, and I can try to rush it..."
