Chapter 406
The small and medium-cost ancient costume movie "The Legend of Jianghu," controlled and invested by Xi'an Film Studio, held a media conference in the capital.
Lin Nan was invited to the scene, and he was also the only big director among the guests.
Thinking of the former Xi'an Film Studio, how many big shots in the film circle it produced, but now it is also sunset, struggling.
In contrast, China Film has power, Shanghai Film has money, while Xi'an Film Studio only retains the glory of the past, without any help.
Those big shots who have incense feelings rarely come to support, which is inexplicably ironic.
"This movie is considered a political comedy, and the filming technique is also rare in the country, a documentary style, it will be very interesting."
The person from Xi'an Film Studio stood beside Lin Nan, introducing "The Legend of Jianghu," hoping that he could help shout when the time comes.
Lin Nan nodded and looked at the several leads who were being interviewed in front, all of whom were second and third-tier and below actors.
It is very clear that Xi'an Film Studio cannot compare with today's big brother and second brother; they cannot afford to toss.
It was only in the past few years that they collaborated with Lin Nan Film on two "Painted Skin" movies and made a lot of money; at other times, Xi'an Film Studio was indescribable.
When the press conference was coming to an end, Lin Nan chose to leave early, otherwise he might steal the show in a while.
Movies in September and October have already opened the curtain of promotion one after another.
Among domestic films, the most concerned are "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" and that "Special ID."
The former is Tsui Hark's series, and the gimmick is very sufficient.
And the latter, in the eyes of the public, can have such high heat, all thanks to last year's "Zhao-Zhen Dispute."
It's just that in Donnie Yen's mouth, it's not like this.
At the "Special ID" press conference, news came out that Donnie Yen made bold words to the media:
"This is my third action blockbuster after 'SPL' and 'Flash Point,' and it is also my return to urban action themes after six years.
Fans and audiences can rest assured that the movie will definitely not disappoint everyone; it deserves a high box office!"
When asked by media reporters again if he has the confidence to surpass the box office of the movie "Bad Genius."
Donnie Yen directly interrupted the behavior of other actors, including Jing Tian, who wanted to change the topic this time.
He rarely expressed his stance:
"It is also an urban crime action film; in this 'Special ID,' I hold three positions: lead actor, martial arts director, and producer.
I have great confidence in it; in terms of box office, it can definitely easily surpass that 'Bad Genius'..."
Regardless of the purpose, Donnie Yen's speech did indeed make "Special ID" instantly a hot topic and received a lot of attention on the internet.
This "declaration of war" was also jokingly called by the media and netizens as the real "final battle" of the "Zhao-Zhen Dispute" between Vincent Zhao and Donnie Yen at the beginning of last year!
This year's Venice International Film Festival has closed, and Chinese-language films have returned empty-handed.
Mainland filmmakers and stars led by Jiang Wen flew back in groups the next day.
On the day of the closing ceremony, this guy officially announced the makeup photos of "Gone with the Bullets," which also spread back to the country at this time.
Lin Nan was planning the time to visit the set, and Jiang Wen's call came in.
"I said before, no cameos."
"I didn't expect you to agree to a cameo either; just come to the opening press conference."
"Start filming as soon as you get back?"
"Yes, in a hurry."
This is a small matter, Lin Nan nodded and continued:
"What time, what location? Let's say it first, I won't go if it's too far."
"Damn it, only you have so many things. The day after tomorrow morning, right in the capital."
Jiang Wen's careless laughter and scolding came from the phone, and there seemed to be others on the side.
"Hmm, okay. If you wait a while longer, maybe I'll be in Bingdao by then."
"What, is 'Interstellar' filming there?" Jiang Wen's reaction was quite fast, and he guessed it all at once.
"That's right, after the location scenes in Canada are finished, we will move there."
"Very good, I heard many media discussing this 'Interstellar' in Venice; it is worthy of being a top Hollywood production.
When you get married, brother, I will give a big gift, haha..."
"That's good."
Lin Nan didn't stand on ceremony and agreed immediately. After chatting for a few words, he ended the call.
Gossip in the circle is always one after another, attracting countless people's attention.
Faye Wong and Li Yapeng divorced, but it gave people the feeling that the entire entertainment circle had exploded.
A large number of first and second-tier stars posted to express regret and comfort, which looked very pretentious.
The funniest thing is that the news pinned to the top of major portal websites reported not only Faye Wong and Li Yapeng, but also a third person.
Now it's good, Emperor Entertainment was also forced to get busy, trying hard to help Nicholas Tse calm the public opinion pressure, but the effect was minimal.
It was clearly a divorce between two people, but the meddlesome media and netizens forcibly pulled out a picture based on the love history of these two.
Good heavens, those who don't know would think it's a family tree; so many people, intertwined!
"Lin Dao, this is my bill, please sign it for me."
Zhao Liying ran to the office to find Lin Nan to sign with a bill for reimbursement.
Lin Nan took the thing and remembered that Zhao Liying had borrowed a sum of money from the company before to buy a house.
"So fast?" He asked subconsciously.
"Lin Dao, I didn't buy a villa; the pay and endorsements for more than a year are just enough."
Zhao Liying smiled embarrassedly; it can be seen that she is very full of spirit now.
Giving people a feeling of vitality, it should be because she has completely taken root in the capital.
"Don't worry, in two years, you can change to a big villa." Lin Nan said pointedly.
"Borrowing Lin Dao's auspicious words, I also want to thank the company for its cultivation..."
When Zhao Liying said such things, she was a bit stuttering, but she looked very sincere and a bit excited.
After Lin Nan signed, he handed it to Zhao Liying.
"By the way, did Director Ning notify you?"
"Notified, join the crew at the latest by the end of this month. Other announcements have been pushed away by the agent for me."
Speaking of business, Zhao Liying immediately became very serious and repeated it.
"Hmm, get ready, the script for 'Breakup Buddies' is very good."
Suddenly, Lin Nan looked up, looked at the little bun face in front of him, hesitated, but decided to give a bottom line: "Next year, you will be very busy."
"Ah?"
Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.
An excited smile overflowed on her face, and she bowed: "Thank you Lin Dao, I, I can endure hardship very well..."
Zhao Liying understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words; the company has already arranged her acting contracts for next year.
Ten minutes later, the two left the office at the same time.
It's just that Zhao Liying left the company, while Lin Nan went to the screenwriting department.
Originally this year, Lin Nan Film was prepared to open several TV dramas.
But in the end, there was a problem with the script review, and it was rejected.
Some TV dramas now rely on online broadcasting, which is difficult to recover costs, or the cycle is too long.
But due to the subject matter, it is also difficult to broadcast on TV stations, so simply, it was not filmed.
Lin Nan thought, wait for internet companies to come in, and the policies above will be looser, and it won't be too late to do it then.
And the screenwriting department's pace of adaptation and creation has never stopped, just treating it as hoarding scripts, preparing for the explosion period.
Seeing Lin Nan's figure, the supervisor of the screenwriting department greeted him.
"Lin Dao."
"The one I asked to cut the line at the end of last month, has it started?"
"It's already being done, it will definitely be finished before the end of the year, guaranteed to be a boutique. You know, we are originally very good at this type.
In the past, 'Water Moon Cave Heaven' and 'Eight Formations' were all original, not to mention that now it is just adapting Xianxia, at most perfecting and polishing it, it will be much simpler."
The other busy screenwriters took a cursory look at Lin Nan and then went about their own business; this is also the particularity of the screenwriting department.
Lin Nan was taken to an empty seat, and the supervisor of the screenwriting department brought over a dozen pages of the first draft.
"Currently only these first drafts have been done, Lin Dao can take a look, you are also a big screenwriter, just point it out."
"I haven't written a TV drama script."
Lin Nan joked, but his hands and eyes didn't stop, and he had already flipped through and looked at the character settings.
"Xianxia, big heroine..."
Only a dozen pages of the script first draft, although the framework was only built seven or eight out of ten, and the character settings were only done in a small part, but one can already see the whole picture from a glimpse.
"Hmm, very good, the final script, as perfect as possible. This drama is done by our own company."
Lin Nan handed back the first draft and instructed casually.
"Lin Dao, rest assured, no problem."
To be honest, the story of "The Journey of Flower" in Lin Nan's view is not very outstanding, and it is still far from the original "Chinese Paladin."
But it is definitely not weaker than that "Swords of Legends," and promoting people is definitely no problem.
TV dramas, aren't they just for promoting people?
In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Liu Yifei. Over there, it was still early morning, past five o'clock.
"The five hundred acres of corn planted by Nolan have already found a buyer. Filming this shot not only didn't cost money, but also made so much, it's really interesting, haha..."
Liu Yifei told Lin Nan about the crew.
"Have you thought about when to visit the set? This movie actually doesn't take long to film, about a month or so is almost enough..."
Miss Liu gave many examples, urging Lin Nan.
"I heard that the scenery in Bingdao is very good, how about I go over when you transfer to Bingdao?"
"Hmm, okay, it's a deal. If you lie to me, you're dead."
Liu Yifei, who was calling while lying in the quilt, sounded particularly confused, with a soft, hypnotic feeling, which made Lin Nan feel very comfortable.
Sure enough, not long after, both of them couldn't hold on.
In Lin Nan's mind, the last sentence he heard vaguely seemed to be Liu Yifei complaining about him:
"I got up so early just to coax you to sleep? It really pissed me off... awu, I'll sleep a while longer too..."
