Chapter 90: Bullets, Qualifications

The 25th.

The wrap-up press conference for *Chinese Paladin 3* was held in the capital as scheduled.

Lin Nan Pictures was one of the producers of this drama, and Yue Jun also came along.

The film and television companies, media, and artists present were much more than when Tang Ren held press conferences before.

As for the reason, Cai Yinong didn't need to think to know.

They were all here for Lin Nan.

Inside the venue, on the huge promotional poster were the stills of each protagonist in *Chinese Paladin 3*.

It might be because of the first impression, but Lin Nan always felt that *Chinese Paladin 1* had more texture.

"Perhaps, because Liu Yifei is in it..."

Yue Jun and Cai Yinong represented the two companies and were accepting interviews from reporters.

Lin Nan and Hu Ge were chatting on the side, eating something by the way.

Yang Mi walked over, looking sincere, "Lin Dao, I'm really sorry about the phone call last time, I..."

If he were to be petty, it would be Lin Nan who was petty.

"Let's leave it at that, don't let it happen again."

Lin Nan waved his hand and ignored Yang Mi.

Over there, Cai Yinong was already bragging to the reporters.

The focus on introducing Tang Ren's Liu Shishi was really sparing no effort.

She even told Yue Jun that if there were any TV drama projects in the future, they could consider Tang Ren's actors.

Liu Yifei's Zhao Linger was an unavoidable hurdle today.

The media was most concerned about this matter; when the makeup photos were released before, Tang Ren compared the actresses of the two dramas for promotion.

"*Chinese Paladin 3* will definitely not be worse than *Chinese Paladin 1*.

The actresses of the two dramas each have their own merits and have their own characteristics..."

When the press conference was about to end, Cai Yinong brought Liu Shishi to Lin Nan's side.

"Lin Dao, the seedling I was optimistic about when I told you at the Beijing Film Academy on New Year's Day that year was her."

"Since it's a seedling that President Cai is optimistic about, then Tang Ren should cultivate her well."

Lin Nan spoke first, blocking Cai Yinong's next words.

The latter was a little embarrassed, but still said with a smile: "If Lin Dao has suitable roles in the future, please give an opportunity..."

Lin Nan nodded perfunctorily, and Cai Yinong walked away with people.

Hu Ge looked at it from the side and shook his head.

He felt that he needed to remind Cai Yinong not to always pull Liu Yifei when promoting in the future.

News about *Chinese Paladin 3* online increased rapidly.

Various stills and behind-the-scenes were released, and a large number of *Chinese Paladin 1* fans were looking forward to this drama.

"Tang Ren has already sold the first round; it's a star-rated satellite TV. The second and third rounds are still negotiating prices."

"Efficiency is quite high. I remember the post-production of this drama hasn't been finished yet, right?"

"Well, but it shouldn't take long.

After all, the premiere time has been set for the first half of next year."

Yue Jun replied. The specific business of *Chinese Paladin 3* had always been handled by him.

Returning to the academy, Lin Nan continued to invest in the editing of *Hunt*, with only a little left.

The first *National Drama Festival* was very grand.

The theme was: Looking back at 30 years of domestic TV dramas.

Those participating in the festival were all TV actors, directors, and producers of these decades, and the number was huge.

Lin Nan declined Wang Changtian's invitation and let Yue Jun represent the company.

He stayed in the editing room alone to work overtime, and finally, on the second day of the New Year, completed all the post-production editing of *Hunt*.

After pulling the film from beginning to end, the finished effect was very good.

"Well, now just waiting to submit the graduation work at that time."

Ning Hao had made many calls in the past two days, but Lin Nan was too dedicated to work and only answered a few from Liu Yifei.

"What's the matter again?"

"It's the promotion of *Crazy Racer*. Xu Zheng's wife gave birth to a child, and other leads have performances; it's killing me.

I don't need you now, but you must come to the premiere."

"No problem, I've been rushing work these two days; the post-production has been finished."

After finishing the business, Ning Hao started to be indecent, asking Lin Nan to go online to see the news.

The latter suspiciously opened the portal website.

Good guy, Lin Nan was dumbfounded.

Beach gate, many photos and videos.

Red bikini, lying down sunbathing, and while sunbathing, she took off her top.

The man applied sunscreen for her, and while applying, the woman's swimming trunks were pulled down, his hand reached in, and he had to apply it there too?

Finally, the man pressed on her, and after a long time, it was done...

"In broad daylight..."

Netizens at this time did not have strong tolerance for stars and artists.

Lin Nan saw various posts, everywhere were disdain and scolding.

"How is this different from a beast! Doing this in full view of everyone?"

"Losing face to foreign media..."

"Is it so hungry?"

……

Lin Nan was relatively traditional and couldn't understand this behavior.

The *Forever Enthralled* crew was instantly brought up in heat again.

This film was a big hit for the Golden Bear, and the heroine Zhang Ziyi was qualified to impact the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.

The competition between female stars was much fiercer than male artists, sometimes invisible.

Zhang Ziyi's matter could spread so widely, it was impossible for no one to "help".

*If You Are the One* rushed to 300 million in the three days of the New Year.

Feng Xiaogang successfully became the third director in the 300 million club in the country.

The premiere of *Red Cliff II* also came with great momentum.

"*Red Cliff I* is the first film in the country to break 300 million in box office.

We are very confident in *Red Cliff II*; it can regain the box office record for domestic films!"

John Woo's speech at the premiere caused heated discussion.

A large number of netizens complained and disdained.

"Is our brain flooded? Being cheated once is enough, is there a second time?"

"Actually, the movie is okay, it's quite funny, but you can't have no self-awareness!"

Reporters specifically ran to the Beijing Film Academy to find Lin Nan to ask his opinion, but unfortunately, they missed him.

However, they also got the news that *Hunt* had been produced.

Jiang Wen made several calls, asking Lin Nan to eat.

The latter understood in his heart that there must be something, otherwise Jiang Wen would not be so roundabout.

Lin Nan wore sunglasses and drove to the place.

Not only Jiang Wen and his wife, but also a man.

"Lin Dao, finally here, just waiting for you," Zhou Yun welcomed with a smile.

"This is Ma Ke, my partner," Jiang Wen introduced.

"Lin Dao, long admired."

After greeting, Lin Nan knew Jiang Wen's purpose in finding him.

The first time he made a commercial film, although he was full of confidence in himself, he still wanted Lin Nan to help him look at the script; the latter's commercial film had never lost money.

If he lost money this time, no one would be willing to invest in him in the future.

"Did Chairman Yang cover everything for you?" Lin Nan asked.

"Where you fall, you climb up from where you fall, haha..."

"*Fire Cloud*?"

Lin Nan took the script and smiled.

This style of film, only Jiang Wen can shoot it, and it tastes right.

"No rush to see, let's eat first; I am very sincere today."

After saying that, several people sat at the table, eating and chatting.

This time Emperor Motion Pictures only gave Jiang Wen 150 million, including promotional costs; if it was not enough, he would think of a way himself.

Jiang Wen had already decided that his company would put out another sum of money to make up 200 million.

After eating and drinking, Lin Nan flipped through the script.

The content and style were indeed that play; a novel changed like this was already completely Jiang Wen's work, and the original work only provided the context and outline.

"Although the name *Fire Cloud* is very spectacular, it is a bit art-house."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw Jiang Wen's face full of joy, "Good, I think so too, but I really can't think of a good name for a while; this is already the most appropriate."

Lin Nan didn't speak; the lines and some scenes in this script would probably have to be modified and deleted even if they were filmed.

"How about I think of a name for you? But I have to be given a role."

Lin Nan said maliciously.

"You? If you can give me a better name, I will give you a supporting role.

If you are willing to come and act, the protagonist team can add you, haha."

Jiang Wen really dared to think; if he agreed to appear, Jiang Wen could spread this matter this afternoon.

"Haha, just a supporting role.

As for the name..."

Lin Nan put the script on the table and pointed to a place, and several people instantly surrounded it.

"Simplify this line, and it can be used as the movie name."

"Let the bullets... fly?" Zhou Yun read it out.

"Well, yes. Director Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Wen muttered this name in his mouth, and finally slapped his thigh.

"Good, that's it! When setting the roles, just send someone over."

"Well."

Jiang Wen is very domineering, and he is about the same as Stephen Chow in the crew.

But he has an advantage, which is that what he says is what he says.

If he promises, he won't change; even if an accident occurs, he will make up for it elsewhere and compensate you.

According to their plan, this film should really start shooting until the second half of the year. A small part of the shooting buildings still needs to be newly built.

Lin Nan was quite convinced; among so many directors in the country, Jiang Wen definitely ranked first in daring to add metaphors to the script like this, with a feeling of walking on the blade.

Getting a supporting role, Lin Nan was also not in vain.

The Beijing Film Academy official website announced the registration time for the art exam in February and the postgraduate preliminary exam arrangement a few days later.

Among the examiners for the postgraduate re-examination in February, the media found a surprise.

Lin Nan's name was actually in it.

The dissent was very small, and almost no one questioned Lin Nan's qualifications and strength.

Of course, except for a few "old people" who said he had no title and qualifications.

Some even called the academy leaders to ask why such an absurd decision was made.

"Haha, you don't know. At that time, the vice president was in our directing department office.

Directly replied: Because he has two Silver Bear trophies, maintains the domestic film box office record, and the leaders of the Film Bureau say it's good."

"And then?" Lin Nan was happy to listen to jokes.

"Then there was no sound over there; could he still question Director Tong?

I also hate these old antiques, lying on the credit book all day and pointing fingers, the key is that there is no great merit."

Old Jiang smiled and spread his hands, with a playful expression.

Lin Nan nodded; it was fine if there was no problem.

Tian Zhuangzhuang had told him before that as one of the examiners for the postgraduate re-examination, it was only good for him; prestige was a small matter, and this batch of people would be connections...

Let yesterday's matter pass like that; don't ask me for the result. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
