Chapter 68: Machine, Not Taken for Nothing
Hearing this, Miss Jing Tian Tian was a bit excited.
"Lin Dao Nan?"
Her big eyes were shining. Miss Jing Tian Tian got off the RV immediately after the makeup artist finished.
Lin Nan operated for a while: "I understand your mood these past few days."
"Just waiting for this sentence from you. Itchy? Why don't you buy a set, and I'll borrow it from you in the future?"
Ning Hao popped out a sentence unexpectedly.
"Want to eat shit?"
Lin Nan knew the other party was joking, so he retorted.
At this time, Miss Jing Tian Tian walked in.
"Lin Dao."
The little girl was still quite happy, thinking Lin Nan came to visit her set.
"Tiantian, this outfit of yours is not bad."
Lin Nan praised.
"Thank you."
"Will Lin Dao be here for the afternoon filming?"
This question from the girl made it difficult for Lin Nan to answer. He was just here to touch the equipment and satisfy his addiction.
Ning Hao didn't play by the rules: "Why don't you take the camera for me? Just practice this equipment. Anyway, you are idle, just do me a favor."
Once this proposal came out, everyone present felt it was great.
Lin Nan looked at Miss Jing Tian Tian, who seemed to be looking forward to it, and then looked at Ning Hao's malicious smile: "You wouldn't be holding this idea, letting me be your deputy?"
"Guessed right, how about it?"
Ning Hao didn't deny it.
"Fine, just for a few hours in the afternoon."
Lin Nan also wanted to try this new machine in his heart.
"That would be great," Miss Jing Tian Tian smiled.
Lin Nan understood the truth of losing ambition in play. Photography machines, especially machines used for movies, actually update quite quickly.
Buy? It was impossible for him to buy. Technology changes with each passing day. Unless it was some cross-era technical equipment, he wouldn't buy it.
Ning Hao's plan was very good, but the style of lyrics and music limited his performance.
In the gap, Lin Nan listened to the song recorded in advance. To tell the truth, he didn't think this song *Who Are You* was good. It was too flat. He even felt that the producer had taken money and turned to outsourcing; it didn't look like the skill of making a butterfly for Wang Fei.
Seventeen-year-old Miss Jing Tian Tian singing love songs couldn't sing that feeling.
Not to mention Miss Jing Tian Tian, Liu Yifei seemed to have a few songs like this, and the content style was seriously mismatched with her age.
"Rat, you pitted me today. I have a premonition that this matter will probably make the entertainment news."
Lin Nan called Ning Hao by his nickname.
Being the camera for Miss Jing Tian Tian's MV, Lin Nan contributed a wave of his fame, although it was only a small part of the fragments. But it might not be the case when reported.
Ning Hao was carefree: "This is not a big deal. Just treat it as helping your fellow townsman. You also ate a big meal from others for nothing."
"You are really capable."
Lin Nan said indignantly.
"Forget it, forget it. I just said it casually. Didn't you agree? It's just that now we both remembered there would be an impact."
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it."
Lin Nan was too lazy to think about those things and focused on operating the machine.
The filming went very smoothly and was done in less than three hours.
Lu Zheng rushed over in the afternoon. He got the news that Lin Nan was actually the camera for the second half of the MV today. This was good news.
With a wave of his hand, the filming site, which was strictly forbidden to be disturbed by outsiders, had a few more reporters visiting the set.
"Lin Dao, thank you so much..."
Dinner was settled. Beijing didn't lack five-star hotels. Today's staff were all treated to a banquet.
It's just that Lin Nan was in a separate private room. Last time it was the five of them, this time it was still.
"So Lin Dao likes that set of equipment. Fortunately, it was rented for half a year and will expire in February next year. After Director Ning finishes filming, you can borrow it at any time during this period."
Lu Zheng was very generous. Renting equipment was not as expensive as buying equipment. The lease was signed for half a year directly at the beginning.
Lin Nan's eyes lit up. If everything went well, his new film's filming time would be about a month, at most two months. It could be filmed completely at the end of the year.
"Normally, we can finish by the end of October."
Ning Hao saw Lin Nan's thoughts and said.
The reward for being the camera this afternoon was there.
"Then thank you, President Lu. It just so happens that I might have a filming plan at the end of the year. I will borrow this set of equipment then."
Lin Nan said.
The surroundings instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at Lin Nan.
"You have a new film plan?"
Ning Hao swallowed the lobster meat and asked.
Miss Jing Tian Tian looked at Lin Nan with burning eyes, just short of asking Lin Nan if she had a chance.
"Just let the company send the script up, waiting for the result."
"You write the script, and you are directing it again. Then there should be a result very soon."
Ning Hao praised.
"Lin Dao, do you see if our Tiantian has a chance? A role suitable for her?"
Lu Zheng asked very naturally.
Shaking his head, Lin Nan said: "She is too young. The female supporting roles in this play require at least 25 to 30 years old. This is the most natural. The protagonist's setting is a single mother, the kind whose child is already a few years old."
Since he wanted to use other people's equipment, Lin Nan didn't hide the role requirements.
"The protagonist is a single mother? Not the female lead?"
Xing Aina was a screenwriter and instantly became interested in the script.
"Three men and three women. There is only one main lead, which is that single mother."
"Before passing the review, I also hope everyone will keep it secret." Lin Nan added.
"That is natural."
Miss Jing Tian Tian was slightly disappointed: "Makeup won't work either?"
Lin Nan shook his head with a smile. He didn't dare to bet on his own movie. Miss Jing Tian Tian? Forget it.
"Lin Dao has strict requirements for movie details. This is also the reason why he can succeed.
Tiantian, you don't have a chance this time, so wait for the next time. I believe that one day, Lin Dao and Director Ning will definitely give you this opportunity."
Lu Zheng's speaking level was high. He comforted Miss Jing Tian Tian, raised Lin Nan, and put Ning Hao and Lin Nan on the spot. This sentence was not easy to answer.
Ning Hao didn't care. Weren't they already cooperating?
Lin Nan nodded, which was considered a reply, and mixed it over.
A smile finally bloomed on the girl's face.
The next day, Lin Nan looked at the portal website. The photo of him sitting in front of the machine with Ning Hao was on it.
"Two big directors sit in the newcomer's MV. Who is she?"
"Ning Hao directs, Lin Nan is the camera! Newcomer Miss Jing Tian Tian reports!"
How uniform it was. Even the update time of the news was almost the same. At this moment, Lin Nan was very sure that Lu Zheng had used the power of money.
Many people were attracted by this news, but Miss Jing Tian Tian was like a layman. Before, it seemed there were no works. The only news related to the circle currently was the MV being filmed and her agency, Starlight Shining.
Miss Jing Tian Tian specifically called to talk about this matter, frankly saying that Lu Zheng was doing it for her own good and had communicated with the media. The girl was still quite simple.
"It doesn't matter. You work hard. If you really want to be an actress, take a professional college and study further. Otherwise, it will be difficult to go far."
Lin Nan kindly gave a suggestion.
"Thank you, Lin Dao. I will carefully consider your suggestion."
Lu Zheng spent millions to rent this set of equipment, and it took some effort to pull it back to the country. Now that he let Lin Nan use it for nothing and borrow some momentum, he could still accept it.
Two days after the birthday banquet, Liu Yifei went to Sony Music headquarters. This time she only recorded a few songs and also attended some activities.
Lin Nan had tactfully suggested to her that even if she wanted to debut in music, she didn't need to run to the island country, but Sony's brand made Liu Xiaoli dazzled.
Many companies in the industry would pay attention to news from the General Administration, such as what policies, or what projects companies and individuals had submitted.
Very luckily, the script was sent for review for less than two days, and the General Administration hadn't issued a result notification to Lin Nan yet, but this matter was paid attention to by interested media.
"Lin Dao Nan is suspected to have a new script under review..."
"It's strange. The result hasn't come out yet. Where did they get the news?"
Lin Nan was very puzzled.
"Could it be that it leaked from the bureau?" the company employee guessed.
Zhu Yawen called immediately, saying he didn't tell anyone.
That day at the dinner table, Lu Zheng and the others had all promised to keep it secret.
In the end, Lin Nan felt that it might really be what the company employee said.
"Before the result comes out, ignore these news first and say it's unclear," Lin Nan instructed. Because someone had already come to the company wanting to interview something.
The official website of the Olympic Organizing Committee issued a notice: on the 19th of this month, the first round of the competition for the general director of the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games would be held at the Kuangou Conference Center.
Director Tian Zhuangzhuang had completely given up on the competition. He had decided long ago, but this didn't hinder him from going to the auditorium to listen in, and asked Lin Nan if he wanted to go together.
"Can I still listen in?" Lin Nan was very surprised.
"Directors or teams that were invited before can, even if we gave up on the competition.
Besides, other professionals and official media will be present to listen together," Tian Zhuangzhuang explained.
"Then I must go. Just in time to see everyone's creativity," Lin Nan gave a positive reply.
"That's good. I will help you get the pass together when the time comes. You come to me to get it."
Tian Zhuangzhuang said very thoughtfully.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher."
Competition for the general director of the Olympics—this was the peak game. Lin Nan was looking forward to it very much now.
Liu Yifei and her mother went for a week and returned by flight today. Only Watching Shu Chang was there to pick them up because Lin Nan was called away by Tian Zhuangzhuang.
At the airport, the weather in September was a bit hot.
The mother and daughter pushed their suitcases and walked out, wearing sun hats, black sunglasses, and gauze scarves wrapping their faces.
The independent temperament made it easy for Watching Shu Chang to distinguish Liu Mu, so there was no need to guess who was next to her.
Running up happily, the two girls hugged each other.
"Changchang."
"Qianqian."
Liu Mu watched from the side, feeling very gratified.
"Hurry up and go, don't affect others," Liu Mu urged.
There was a driver to pick them up, and Watching Shu Chang followed them back to Liu Yifei's home.
"How did your song recording go?"
"Recorded half, the rest needs to be revised."
"Then can you finish recording before December? Didn't they say let you join the crew at that point?"
The joining the crew Watching Shu Chang said was *Journey to the Center of the Earth*.
A while ago, when New Line announced the actor list, it also announced the start date.
"The time is very sufficient. The rest can be recorded in the country," Liu Yifei looked at her best friend with a smile.
Watching Shu Chang's eyes rolled: "Did you see the recent news?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Liu Yifei was very puzzled. What did Watching Shu Chang want to say?
"It's just that a few days ago, Lin Nan actually went to be the camera for a girl's MV..."
"Achoo..."
Lin Nan pinched his nose. It didn't seem like he had a cold, right? In this hot weather.
"Pay attention to your health. Don't think that you don't need to pay attention because you are young. You will know regret when you are older."
Tian Zhuangzhuang said.
"That script of yours, I guess there will be news in two days. I specifically asked for you, there is no problem. If you have any plans, you can make them in advance."
At this moment, Lin Nan deeply realized the benefits of having a teacher. He could even ask about this kind of thing!
"I know, you've worked hard." ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
