Chapter 31

"Why did you give him so much?"

Ning Hao asked puzzledly.

It's not very popular yet, but Lin Nan knows the importance of doing so.

"In the future, being friendly to these media friends will do no harm, as long as he is not the kind of paparazzi without a bottom line."

Lin Nan is not friendly to every reporter. At the very least, you must be a serious media reporter. Like those who expose other people's addresses, you definitely can't give a good face.

Lin Nan flew back that evening. In the evening, Sina appeared Lin Nan's news.

"Sina exclusive report: Director Lin Nan's new film written by himself."

"Producer, producer, screenwriter, executive producer. Director Lin Nan's fourth film did not direct it himself."

"Lin Nan's new film written by himself, directed by Ning Hao..."

The news board was not small, and the picture was the scene where Lin Nan was chatting and laughing with everyone on the set. Almost all the main creators showed their faces.

The next day Ning Hao called. Many media ran to the crew. Lin Nan told him to be careful, filming is important, don't see every reporter.

In fact, not only the crew, but also a batch of reporters guarded outside the school, but they couldn't enter the school. Living in the dormitory has this advantage.

Opening the computer, there were even photos of Lin Nan getting off the plane last night. Lin Nan had to admire these people.

Generally, film festival entries need to be declared two months in advance. Lin Nan is waiting for Li Yang's return call. I believe it will be these few days.

Tang Mu contacted Lin Nan. As Lin Nan's agent on the other side of the Pacific, he helped Lin Nan register many film scripts and acquired many novel copyrights. Recently, someone took a fancy to one of Lin Nan's scripts and found Tang Mu.

"Let them quote first." Lin Nan said to Tang Mu very simply, don't let go just because the other party is a big company.

Tang Mu just wanted Lin Nan to open the situation first. After all, Lin Nan didn't mix in Hollywood. He didn't expect this employer to be so confident, so let's do it.

In the morning, Lin Nan took a walk in the academy, mainly answering the phone. The confidentiality work of *Crazy Stone* was done better than *Return to Dust*.

Many people saw this news on media news.

Shanghai Film Studio can be considered to have grace to Lin Nan. More than half of the investment in the first film was paid by them.

Fortunately, Lin Nan invested in *Stone* himself, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

"President Han also asked. This script only took an afternoon, and I didn't direct it, and the cost was not high, so I didn't tell you. Director Ning Hao has strength and talent. When the time comes, I will introduce him to President Ren..."

I expected this day, so Lin Nan was prepared. Familiar actors are okay. The crew has already started filming. You can't come over and ask for a role, right? After dismissing China Film and Shanghai Film, only Enlight Media was left.

Lin Nan promised to hand over the promotion to them. Enlight Media was very happy about this and said that it would definitely not let Lin Nan down.

Lin Nan considered the issue of connections and social circle. He is a director and does not do artist management. For actors, he is in an active position, and others need to come to make friends with him.

Just have some friends, no need to be like a social butterfly, it's troublesome instead.

For partners, he currently only has intersections with China Film, Shanghai Film, and Enlight Media. He will be very cautious about expanding partners in the future. At the very least, his butt must be correct. There are too many broken things in this industry, which is annoying.

As a famous big director, Lin Nan is the most special one, living in school or hotels, no real estate; opened a company, very few people, and doesn't do artist management; doesn't socialize, only goes to friends' dinners, the key is that there is not even an assistant.

Many capital parties who want to approach Lin Nan can't find a way.

"This is quite good." Lin Nan explained to the people around him.

Walking on campus, Lin Nan saw some unfamiliar faces, newcomers who were about to take the art exam, visiting, led by a teacher in office, and also opened a tutoring class outside the school.

Lin Nan looked at the team of more than ten people, and that side also noticed Lin Nan.

"It's Director Lin Nan..."

The voice was very small, but Lin Nan could hear the discussion. The leading teacher saw Lin Nan and greeted him, and took the opportunity to introduce Lin Nan to the art candidates around him, such as the most outstanding student of the 02 level, famous director...

Lin Nan walked away. He inexplicably thought of the word star class.

Speaking of star classes, you can't escape the 96 level, whether it's the Film Academy or the Drama Academy.

The representative figure of the 96 level next door, Zhang Ziyi, is filming *Memoirs of a Geisha*, and there are acting types like Liu Ye and Yuan Quan. There are also Zhao Yanzi and Yan Danchen here, but in the end, the next door is much more powerful.

*Kung Fu* is killing all sides, the mainland box office has reached 150 million, Star Girl Huang Shengyi is now the representative figure of the 01 level of the acting department of the Film Academy, even the Goddess Dragon can only rank behind, who told others to be Zhou Xingchi's artist.

I don't know how many of the ten or so art exam newcomers can succeed in the end, but each one looks good, which is the type the Film Academy likes.

After the New Year's Day holiday, Lin Nan received a call from Li Yang. This old brother is very powerful and helped Lin Nan contact a film festival judge. In Li Yang's words, this judge is a loyal lover of realistic subject matter.

This problem was solved, and Lin Nan felt much more relieved. On the same day, he went to China Film. The film backup needs to be taken there. Lin Nan chose to mail it. The film festival has this channel.

Lin Nan plans to go to Berlin in early February, arriving ten days before the opening ceremony. Anyway, there are no other arrangements in China.

Lin Nan contacted Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli and told them that *Return to Dust* had been mailed to the film festival by himself.

If lucky enough to enter the main competition unit, I hope they can take time to go. Both agreed very happily. No one can refuse the European three major.

*Chinese Paladin* is about to be released. Recently, the Tieba is very lively, and Lin Nan also often goes to stroll.

Brokerage companies already have the consciousness of marketing on the Internet. Lin Nan also specially searched, and there is really a Tieba about himself, with more than 9,000 people, but it is very loose, and many are fishing.

Art colleges of all sizes across the country, or university art colleges, have begun to prepare for the art exam.

Those who take the college entrance examination rely on strength, and those who take the art exam also rely on strength.

Lin Nan's two art exams were grabbed by thousands of people. He was ready to report to the higher vocational class, and finally his luck was quite good, mixed with an undergraduate degree.

The industry is developing rapidly, and policies are also favorable. The school expects more people to sign up this year. Recently, meetings have been held to make art exam arrangements. On-site order, evaluation standards and requirements must be set up in advance.

Of course, it does not exclude leaving some positions for relationship households.

Many students' brains don't turn around. You can try other majors if you can't enter the acting department. Art department, Chinese department, even animation college, dubbing department are fine. As long as you enter this school, how you develop in the future depends on yourself. Huang Bo is a good example.

Lin Nan also went to CCTV to accept an interview when he had time. Six Princess calls you, do you dare not go?

There is a script prepared in advance, what to ask and how to answer are all there. After the script came out, Lin Nan was asked to read it again. If there is any modification, he can mention it.

Talk about movies, talk about life, evaluate several hot films, and finally talked about the only TV series directed by Lin Nan, *Lotus Lantern*, which will be on the first stage this year.

Six Princess spent 2 million to buy the broadcast rights of Lin Nan's two films for many years, which can be considered not busy for nothing this time.

The release date of *Returning to Youth* in South Korea has been set, in February, CJ is responsible for distribution.

Back at school, he is writing down the good scripts he can think of. If he is really tired, he goes out to stroll. The cinema is a good choice.

*Raise Your Hands*, is a war comedy. Lin Nan likes Teacher Guo Da very much. He also recommended the actor who played Guan Erye.

To say that *Hero* is not only the first mainland Chinese commercial blockbuster, but also stimulated the development of the film industry. After two years of warm-up, you will see several blockbusters this year.

Walking out of the cinema, Lin Nan even saw several posters, *Seven Swords*, *SPL*, *Initial D*, regardless of whether it was filmed or not, the posters were there anyway. Singing and acting, Jay Chou began to cross the border.

In 2004, Lin Nan became a big director because of *Returning to Youth*, and the box office share also earned a lot. Finance contacted Lin Nan, the year-end bonus had been done, and he needed to sign.

Back at the company, Lin Nan looked at the bonus. Roughly, everyone had three months' salary more. For Lin Nan, who only had a dozen employees, this was small money.

A dozen people serve Lin Nan alone. Except for administration, front desk, and finance, Lin Nan also found two law students and several graduates of film-related majors. The company structure is very simple.

Held a simple meeting, Lin Nan announced the bonus. In addition, there will be extra red envelopes when leaving for the end of the year.

Leaving the company, Lin Nan received a call from Zhu Yawen, looking like he had something to say.

Zhu Yawen thought Lin Nan was at school, so he went back directly, but found that Lin Nan was not there when he arrived.

Rushing back to school, Lin Nan met Zhu Yawen. During this period, Zhu Yawen received many announcements, advertising endorsements, fashion magazines, and did not do less work. He looked much more energetic.

"What's the matter that can't be said on the phone." Looking at Zhu Yawen's worried look, Lin Nan teased.

"Sigh, it's very annoying." Zhu Yawen sighed.

"I've only been signed for a few months, and I've encountered such a thing..."

Lin Nan listened to Zhu Yawen's narration, and then reacted. It's 2005. Wang Jinghua and Huayi's contract is only a few months away.

Wang Jinghua, as a big agent, has a much greater influence on the artists under her than Huayi's two bosses. Under the conflict of power, collapse is inevitable.

"Sister Hua even clearly asked me recently, if she leaves, am I willing to go with her; Little Wang Zong also hinted at similar questions to me, choose the company or Sister Hua, the company is the producer of resources."

Listening to Zhu Yawen's words, Lin Nan was also surprised. It turns out that these problems are clear in private. It was not put on the table. It is estimated that the interest problem has not been negotiated.

"Aren't you signed to Wang Jinghua?" Lin Nan asked. How to choose this, one side has a contract.

"Sister Hua said, if I don't want to follow her, she won't embarrass me with the contract."

Worthy of Wang Jinghua. Lin Nan wanted to say generous.

"So you want me to give you advice?"

Zhu Yawen nodded.

Lin Nan said angrily: "Big brother, you really think highly of me."

Lin Nan changed the subject. "However, Little Wang Zong is also right. Huayi is the party that produces resources. If you want fame and profit, you can stay."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhu Yawen said: "But Sister Hua's side..."

Halfway through the sentence, Zhu Yawen looked at Lin Nan, and Lin Nan smiled: "This is not a decision."

Zhu Yawen's heart still tended to follow Wang Jinghua.
