Chapter 272: Still Science Fiction

After Lin Nan's Weibo post was sent out, the effect was surprisingly good.

Because his meaning is very clear: speak with movies, those without box office please shut up.

The Hong Kong circle has no sound. If you count carefully, you really can't find words to refute.

Because whether it is Hong Kong films or previous co-productions, there is no one whose box office can be arrogant in front of Lin Nan.

And in terms of awards, Lin Nan has a Golden Lion, two Silver Bears, and a Cannes Jury Prize, which is much higher than the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards, which makes people feel very aggrieved.

Can't compare head-on, so they started to change the subject, hold a posture, talk about seniority, compare qualifications, and let Lin Nan respect his seniors. It is simply shameless!

Lin Nan made up his mind, this time he can't get used to this group of people, no one can persuade him.

He directly retorted: "Old and not dead is a thief!"

The killing range of this sentence is not small. It can be said to be aimed at certain people in the mainland, and it is very suitable and scene-appropriate.

In less than a day, Lin Nan heard the news that many people in the mainland wanted to find a middleman to pass words to him, but they were all rejected.

Whether it is the school side or Han Sanping and others, they didn't pay attention this time.

What does this explain? The hearts of the people are directed! Everyone thinks so! With Lin Nan standing in front and saying these words, it is very satisfying!

"I found that our company's films, whether it is starting or wrapping up, are always advanced if they can be advanced, and never drag."

Lin Nan looked at the few people in front of him and teased.

"It's not considered starting early. I just want to go over early and let the actors familiarize themselves with the shooting environment."

In the conference hall, Lu Yang explained with a smile. On the side, Vincent Zhao and Wang Baoqiang nodded with smiles. They are very looking forward to *Kung Fu Jungle*, the script is great.

Lin Nan heard this reason and didn't say anything. Familiarizing with the environment in advance is indeed necessary, which can make the filming smoother.

Thinking about it, he still reminded:

"Recently, regarding the matter of this film, you also know that the Hong Kong circle is making a lot of noise, but it can only play with words.

However, when filming, you still have to be careful. If there is any problem, find Emperor for the first time. I think Huo Wenxi should also follow the crew..."

"Hmm, we know, Lin Dao."

Yue Jun and Lu Yang said at the same time.

At noon that day, the group and the crew set off from Beijing Airport to Hong Kong.

"Director Lu Yang, Producer Yue Jun, and actors Vincent Zhao, Wang Baoqiang, and a group of staff from Lin Nan Film Industry left Beijing for Hong Kong today."

"It is estimated that the film *Kung Fu Jungle* is about to start filming..."

*Titanic 3D* finally reached the day it was taken off the screen, and domestic films could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Among the 5 imported blockbusters, this one is the most perverted, taking 980 million box office in a month, making domestic filmmakers feel suffocated.

The most relaxed one right now should be Ning Hao.

*The Great Robbery* stubbornly took 110 million box office under the siege of Hollywood blockbusters.

And at this time, the May Day holiday has officially begun.

The total box office of *Pi Fu* is 16 million, and *Design of Death* is 7.1 million.

The daily box office of several films, taking advantage of the May Day holiday, has started to grow upwards.

*Pi Fu* and *Design of Death* seem to have hope of a comeback again.

Everyone in the circle is immersed in the May Day slot, hoping that the film market in May can be friendlier.

At this time, a piece of news came from the Film Bureau.

The film *Forever Young*, starring Little Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming, was banned.

You know, at the beginning of April, this film also held a grand press conference, and the location was at Tsinghua University.

It hasn't been long since it was handed over to the Film Bureau, and it didn't even give a chance to return for rectification, so it was banned directly?

Lin Nan only heard that this is a film about Tsinghua, and he doesn't know much about the rest.

"Religious values, ideological issues, political issues..."

Just listening to these three words, Lin Nan interrupted Han Sanping's words.

Good heavens, a film has touched everything that shouldn't be touched, no wonder it's gone directly.

"Wait a few years, after a major revision, there should still be hope... You must not spread it out."

Han Sanping is also depressed. This film was invested by China Film, but it didn't participate in the filming. As a result, this happened, which is annoying.

"Understood."

Three days of holidays just ended, and news came from Hong Kong.

The film *Kung Fu Jungle* has officially started filming.

Lin Nan went to the Beijing Film Academy.

Originally thought Guo Fan was defending in April, but it was May.

Lin Nan didn't go to the School of Management first, but went to the editing room to see the progress of *Sleepless in Seattle*.

Xue Xiaolu really took a group of students to tinker there.

"Senior brother Lin."

"Senior brother Lin."

There is this advantage in school, a group of students can call Lin Nan senior brother, pulling closer the relationship.

"Teacher Xue, how is it?"

After seeing Xue Xiaolu, Lin Nan asked directly.

"Still early, it's hard to say whether it can be finished in June."

Xue Xiaolu is really not polite, and replied directly.

Lin Nan swept a glance, it really can't be expected that *Sleepless in Seattle* can be released this year.

This editing progress is not even one-third, but it is really delicate.

Didn't say a few words, Lin Nan ran to the School of Management.

"Lin Dao, you are really ruthless, betraying me!"

Turning around and meeting Han Jia-nv, Lin Nan felt that it should not be accidental, but that he was blocked.

"How to say this?"

"Old Han said it was you who told him I was back..."

Han Jia-nv looked angry, presumably she was arranged to the crew.

"I don't admit this, it was Director Han who called me about serious business, and we talked about it."

Lin Nan denied it, and wouldn't admit it to death.

"Why? You didn't really stuff me into the crew again, right?" Lin Nan teased with a smile.

"Mid-month, go to the August First Film Studio crew."

Han Jia-nv rolled her eyes and said angrily.

Lin Nan felt that Han Jia-nv was really in happiness and didn't know happiness. The opportunity that many students in the director department begged for, she still disliked, lazy!

"Cherish these opportunities, your classmates can envy you to death. Work hard, I am optimistic about you."

Dropping a sentence, Lin Nan flashed away, leaving only Han Jia-nv with a pulled face, turning to the Chinese department.

Every year's graduate defense is the top priority.

To put it ugly, the thesis and works you hand in also represent your strength and connections!

For example, the director department, Lin Nan's two graduation plays are unique, no one can compare.

Similarly, the same is true in the School of Management.

Which crew did your thesis come from? Who is the director? Who is the producer? These are all very important and will affect the evaluation of the results. This circle is like this, starting from school to fight for resources and connections.

This year's graduating graduate students, without accident, Guo Fan is the most dazzling. Hmm, the Zhao Yanzi who delayed graduation ranked second.

Because Guo Fan is not only a proper director, having directed *Source Code*, and has served as Lin Nan's assistant director many times, more importantly, his graduation thesis this time is taken from the 250 million investment *Passengers*.

"Lin Dao, are you here to listen to the defense? Over there."

"Thank you."

Lin Nan is not familiar with the teachers here, but they all know Lin Nan.

Very coincidentally, just slipped in from the back door, I saw the person on the stage, it was Guo Fan.

"... High-cost films need global coordination the most, capital is the lifeline, and must be reasonably scheduled... Large-scale sci-fi films have the highest requirements for machines and special effects..."

Guo Fan wore glasses and talked eloquently above.

Although the thesis was taken from *Passengers*, when speaking, he added other things, involving films such as *Pacific Rim*.

Unlike when Lin Nan defended, a group of tutors didn't understand film industrialization and didn't know what to ask.

The tutors of the School of Management asked a lot, but Guo Fan still answered fluently and ended perfectly.

Lin Nan took the lead in giving applause, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Lin Nan?" Several professors greeted with a smile.

"Congratulations to Director Guo, graduated from graduate school."

"Lin Dao is polite."

Guo Fan was told on the spot that he would be an excellent graduate, so the results don't need to be thought about, it must be the highest.

The two wandered around the school for a while, one reminiscing, one commemorating.

"Are you preparing to rest for a while, or start work directly?"

Lin Nan asked suddenly, referring to the film plan he had agreed with Guo Fan before. 【272-107

The two strolled around the school for a while, one reminiscing, the other commemorating.

"Are you planning to take a break for a while, or start working right away?"

Lin Nan asked suddenly, referring to the film project he had previously agreed upon with Guo Fan.

Guo Fan thought for a moment, "Then, let me rest for a month. After attending the graduation ceremony, I'll start the new film."

"Hmm, that's fine."

This was the Beijing Film Academy; two directors walking on campus always attracted extra attention.

What surprised Lin Nan was that the current acting students seemed bolder than those in the past, actually taking the initiative to come up, greet them, and recommend themselves.

There were clearly more girls than boys, perhaps because they thought they looked decent enough.

But the moment they opened their mouths, their lines were still old-fashioned—nothing more than "I like your movies," "I'm a fan," or "I hope to have a chance to audition in the future."

It was a pity; Lin Nan had Liu Qianqian, and Guo Fan was like a straight-laced tech guy—neither of them was easily swayed.

The two only promised that when public auditions were held, everyone was welcome to come.

……

"Lin Dao, that girl seems to be the one who previously rejected Director Yue, right?"

"Hmm, yes, she signed with Tang Ren."

"Well, that's really not very bright of her." Guo Fan laughed and teased.

……

Lin Nan remembered what Liu Qianqian had said after returning from being a guest judge for the art exams. She said she had seen a girl who looked somewhat like Liu Xiaoli.

At this moment, Lin Nan saw her too; she did indeed look similar, but he didn't take it to heart, only sighing that his mother-in-law had been peerless in her youth...

Lin Nan looked at Guo Fan and asked:

"Is it still sci-fi? Not trying something else?"

Guo Fan frowned, then smiled again:

"Lin Dao, leaving Tiangong Color unused doesn't sit right with me. Let's stick with sci-fi this time!"

"Fine, sci-fi it is."
