Chapter 372

"Qianqian, I've returned to the country, do you want me to visit your set?"

"That's better not to. The crew should contact you soon, you need to be ready to join the set and start work at any time."

Lin Nan sat on the director's chair and answered first.

Wearing a down jacket, a cotton hat, and warm clothing, Liu Qianqian and Lin Nan squeezed together.

She held a cup of hot coffee in her hand, giggling, her rosy cheeks incomparably alluring.

"Damn, are you Lin the Skin-flayer? Reminding me to work anytime, anywhere?"

Hearing Lin Nan's voice, Zhou Xun retorted unhappily. Huang Xiao and the others around couldn't help but laugh.

"That's not what I meant, aren't I caring about you?"

"Is this how you care about people? You might as well raise my salary."

"That won't do, your TV series salary is already top-tier."

Before Lin Nan could speak, Liu Qianqian had already spoken with a smile.

"Good, good, good, worthy of being a couple, both knowing how to save money for your Lin Nan.

Oh, forget it, what a crow's mouth, the crew is calling..."

Zhou Xun's muttering instantly amused the group of people here.

The morning's filming ended smoothly.

Today, everyone almost entered their filming posts at 4:00 AM, when it was still dark.

The crew borrowed an existing coal transport railway to film the first scene of Zhang Hanyu and Liu Shishi.

It was also the scene where Yang Zirong and Little White Dove sat on a train engine, bringing food to support the small detachment.

Lin Nan planned to film the scene of Mountain Sculpture's first appearance in the evening.

In the Northeast, it gets dark earlier, so filming in the evening is perfectly fine in terms of time, trying to avoid dragging it out too late.

"In the afternoon, everyone rest until 3:00, and then start filming the 'Tiger Mountain' scenes."

As one of the assistant directors, Han Jia was holding a megaphone to announce the notification.

"Okay."

"No problem, Han Dong."

I don't know who shouted "Han Dong," and Han Jia was immediately beaming with joy.

Except for some staff members who stayed behind to clean up the equipment, everyone else returned to the hotel and their accommodation.

"Switch" can be considered "famous in one battle."

This movie, despite the bad reviews across the internet, actually reported a high box office of 47 million on the second day; it's simply getting more popular the more it's scolded!

"Outrageous, totally outrageous!"

In the hotel, Han Jia was shaking her head, with an expression of disbelief.

On the contrary, Han Sanping on the side was full of smiles.

"That Director Sun really used the reverse marketing method? Tsk tsk tsk, not bad."

"But this method won't last for a few days, the movie is too trashy."

A group of people seemed to have let go, discussing it sentence by sentence, and Han Sanping wasn't angry either.

"It doesn't need to last for many days, this movie won't lose money either, after all, it's implanting the movie into massive amounts of ads. Am I right, Han Dong?"

Lin Nan looked at Han Sanping, who was in a good mood, and teased.

"Hahaha, not bad. Not only will it not lose money, but it can at least make a small profit, it just depends on the subsequent box office trend."

Han Sanping said with a big laugh. He had already let go; he didn't think about the reputation, as long as it made money.

Liu Qianqian tugged at Lin Nan, reminding him that there were still things to deal with.

"Everyone eat together in a while, I'll go make a call first."

"Okay."

Subsequently, Lin Nan followed Liu Qianqian back to the room.

Chen Kai had been waiting for a day with an excited mood.

In the morning, he even wanted to take the initiative to call and ask, but after thinking about it, he held back.

In his view, the matter of Lin Nan participating in the investment and production, and Liu Qianqian starring, should be a sure thing.

After all, he himself was Liu Qianqian's elder; even if he didn't look at the monk's face, he had to look at the Buddha's face. Just considering Liu Qianqian and Liu Mu, Lin Nan should agree.

"As long as the two of them can join, this is a top-tier Sino-US co-production blockbuster! Afterwards..."

Chen Kai muttered in a low voice, his expression excited, and his mood was great. It was as if Lin Nan and Liu Qianqian had already agreed.

The phone on the table suddenly buzzed, Chen Kai looked at it subconsciously, a trace of excitement appeared on his face, it's here!

Answering the phone, his voice was as calm as possible, "Qianqian, have you finished your morning scenes?"

Liu Qianqian was also quite direct, "Finished. Godfather, Lin Nan and I discussed that movie, and we won't participate..."

"That's right, you star, he inves... what did you say?"

Chen Kai's voice suddenly rose, his eyes couldn't help but widen, completely unable to believe what he heard.

"You said you won't participate? Why? Such a good project with a large budget investment, domestically only you are qualified to play the female lead. Is, is it because of Lin Nan?"

From questioning to locking in the answer, Chen Kai only took a few seconds. He never thought he would be refused!

Liu Qianqian was silent, she looked at Lin Nan. Since her debut, several TV series were paths paved by her godfather, but now...

Lin Nan reached out his hand, wanting to take the phone from Miss Liu's hand, but was refused.

Liu Qianqian shook her head decisively, she wanted to say it herself, she didn't want Lin Nan to take the blame.

"Godfather, I asked friends in Hollywood, this movie is not a good project at all, a movie that couldn't pull in investment for 10 years."

"The script has also been modified many times, from an ancient Western background to an Eastern one."

That set of Hollywood thinking simply can't handle ancient Eastern culture. This kind of forced mixed movie will only fail, they are just here to cheat money..."

Lin Nan on the side stared straight, at this moment Liu Qianqian, who was usually not smiling, was stunning!

Chen Kai on the other side still didn't want to give up:

"They have already contacted Nicolas Cage, and Hayden Christensen, the Skywalker in 'Star Wars', they are all international big names..."

"Enough, Director Chen. The story of a Western knight saving an Eastern princess is too cliché, and childish."

"As for the two actors you mentioned, they are already outdated, have they had any outstanding works in these years?"

Lin Nan leaned over to Liu Qianqian's side, his tone was resolute, carrying unquestionability.

"But, I... hehe, that's right, what kind of Hollywood friends could Qianqian have?"

Chen Kai hung up the phone, carrying obvious anger.

"Lin Nan." Miss Liu whispered, she was a bit conflicted, but it could be seen that she was much more relaxed.

"Let's go, let's go eat with everyone."

Taking Liu Qianqian's soft hand, Lin Nan walked straight out, the former was like a little wife, following closely by his side.

After 12 o'clock, a group of main creators were eating, and everyone talked about the Shanghai International Film Festival that would open in three days.

People in the crew, even if invited, definitely couldn't go.

However, the most sigh-inducing thing was that the person representing China Film to participate in the film festival this year was not Han Sanping.

Power was already being handed over, and it was also paving the way for the successor.

"At 5 or 6 in the afternoon, the sky here will get dark, and then we will start filming the 'Tiger Mountain' scenes, let's finish early."

"You guys are resting in a while, but I'm miserable, this makeup takes two or three hours." Han Sanping complained.

His makeup and styling were several flesh scars on his face, a pitted appearance, a look that could scare children to tears if they saw it.

Just this, and still slightly fierce? Just fooling ghosts!

Jiang Wu and others at the table next to them also laughed, their bandit styling also took more time than the Liberation Army side.

After lunch, a group of "Tiger Mountain" members led by Han Sanping had to start makeup one after another, and the rest rested.

Lin Nan sat on the sofa, talking on the phone with Yang Shoucheng.

And Liu Qianqian wanted to call Liu Mu to say something, but was appeased by Liu Mu in a few words, saying that it was fine to refuse, no need to think too much.

At this time in the villa, a dispute had just ended.

Liu Mu put down her phone, looked at Chen Kai who still had an angry face, and sighed.

"Old Chen, forget it, let's leave it at that. Lin Nan has better vision than us, I believe him. Don't force it."

"Forget it? Hehe, now I really look like an outsider. Don't force it? That's right, I was originally an outsider..."

Chen Kai just looked at Liu Mu like this, looking at her face, as if he wanted to carve it into his memory, overlapping and deepening with the memories of the past decades.

"I'm leaving. In the future, you and Qianqian take care."

After a long while, as if he had said something very difficult. Chen Kai turned his head and walked towards the gate without looking back.

"Old Chen?"

Liu Mu called out softly, but didn't get a response. At this moment, she clearly knew in her heart that everything ended here.

5:00 PM.

Dozens of "bandits" surrounded the Tiger Mountain, some holding torches, some blowing suona, some beating drums, dazzling, looking extremely lively, but this was a bandit den.

Looking around, most of these people were wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets, fur jackets, and also puppet army, Nationalist army, Japanese army, and other military uniforms, but they were all very tattered.

Two special actors were tied to pillars with their upper bodies bare, their acting was okay, and their snot had even "frozen" into ice cones.

"This scene needs to be fast, and also leave camera positions for the special effects team." Lin Nan instructed Guo Fan.

Liu Qianqian and Han Jia were watching the fun on the side, both were here to see "Mountain Sculpture."

Lin Nan waved his hand, and everyone immediately prepared.

"Action!"

The sound of suona, drums, and howling continued, and those who didn't know would think it was New Year.

The camera slid across the track, following Big Vajra's shout: "Third Master is here...", the surroundings instantly became quiet.

The camera aimed at the distance, and sixteen bandits were seen carrying a high sedan chair, walking slowly, and on it was a suppressed figure.

An eagle rented from a circus stood on the arm of the person in front, giving a close-up shot, and it could be seen that the person's arm had thick leather protection.

In the monitor, the camera slowly scanned Mountain Sculpture from bottom to top, but just didn't give a front face, and the oppressive force increased again.

"Drop..."

Mountain Sculpture, played by Han Sanping, wore a thick jacket, leather military boots, black leather gloves on his hands, and a gorgeous fox fur cloak.

He walked down the sedan chair step by step, stepping on the accumulated snow, making a creaking sound, and the power instantly spread out.

The two people tied to the pillars immediately began to beg for mercy desperately, as if they would be worse off than dead next...

"Damn, no wonder Senior Brother Lin asked my dad to play Mountain Sculpture, this is too realistic, right? After filming later, I must take a photo with him before Old Han takes off his makeup."

In the distance, Han Jia pulled Liu Qianqian and said excitedly.

Liu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, this must piss Han Dong off, right?

Looking at the filming scene again, Han Sanping ignored the two's begging for mercy.

"Hmm... know what I smelled? One word: dishonest!"

"Third Master, that's three words."

Eight Vajra smiled and inserted a sentence, and was punched by Old Seven, "Shut up."

Han Sanping lowered his voice and instructed Big Vajra: "Boss, take a few brothers these two days, see if the Communist army really came down the mountain."

"Yes, Third Master."

"As for you two." Han Sanping turned his head to look at the two tied to the pillars, and waved his hand, "Bite for me."

Of course, the scene of the eagle pecking at people needs special effects to complete...

"Cut."

Following Lin Nan's shout of cut, today's filming ended.

"It's past 6 o'clock now, hurry up and pack up to go back, the temperature here at night will drop to zero or lower."

Everyone became busy instantly, and Liu Qianqian and Han Jia also walked over.

Han Jia once again showed what it means to be leaky, as she pounced in front of Han Sanping and shouted with a smile:

"Dad, you are too much like Mountain Sculpture! Hurry up and take a photo with me, Master, please help..."

Through the thick makeup and styling, people around could feel Han Sanping's "bitterness."

Liu Qianqian handed Lin Nan a thermos cup.

"Here, hot water."

Lin Nan took it with a smile, but just seeing the things inside, he was instantly speechless.

"Hehe, health preservation, the earlier the better, take advantage of being young, better safe than sorry... drink quickly!"

Liu Qianqian hugged Lin Nan's arm, half coquettishly and half commandingly.

Lin Nan looked around cautiously, fortunately, no one noticed.

"Where did you get this crooked way?" He leaned to Liu Qianqian's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, I saw it on the internet." Miss Liu rolled her eyes at Lin Nan.

"At night, I'll make you look good."

"Afraid of you? I'm waiting."
