Chapter 945

"This morning, Lin Nan Film, Han Jia Studio, Shanghai Film, Xi'an Film, Naval Political Department, and Golden Shield issued a joint announcement:

Adapted from the 'Lu Yong Incident,' the large-scale realistic medical-themed film *Dying to Survive* is officially scheduled for next summer, and will land in national theaters on July 1st..."

"Around 8:00 AM, the official website of the 21st Shanghai International Film Festival updated the list of film submissions:

The realistic-themed film *Dying to Survive*, directed by Lin Dao Nan, produced by Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, and written by Han Jia, is prominently listed!"

"It is reported that this official submission of *Dying to Survive* to the Shanghai International Film Festival is also the first time Lin Dao Nan has competed for domestic A-list film festival awards since his debut as a director nearly 16 years ago."

"Media called the Shanghai Film Festival organizing committee and Lin Nan Film, and both received affirmative replies."

On the morning of the 10th, the thing that the film and television industry focused on most was undoubtedly the relevant information about *Dying to Survive*.

The film and television industry couldn't help but sigh; after so many years, Lin Dao finally remembered his own Shanghai International Film Festival.

And on this basis, if one were to ask who in the circle is the most passionate, it must be the lead actors of *Dying to Survive*;

Among them, Xu Zheng was the most excited and agitated, because he is the unquestionable lead actor of the film *Dying to Survive*, the core protagonist!

Huanxi.

Dong Ping and Xu Zheng, who had just seen off Gu Changwei, were already immersed in an exceptionally joyful mood at this moment.

"Looking at Lin Dao Nan's record of competing for awards at international A-list film festivals, he has never missed! Old Xu, it's possible you might really win an international A-list film festival Best Actor award this time!"

Dong Ping punched Xu Zheng with a smile on his face. If Xu Zheng could really win the Best Actor award at the Shanghai Film Festival, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for Huanxi.

Looking at Xu Zheng again, there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Obviously, he also agreed with Dong Ping's words, especially agreeing with Lin Nan's strength. But he was still humble in his words: "Don't say these things right now, it's still too early, it has to wait until next June.

Furthermore, where is there such an absolute thing? It's a fact that Lin Dao's films can win awards, but it doesn't necessarily mean there will be a Best Actor award. The probability is too small, and there are so many competitors."

Obviously, Xu Zheng's humility was not sincere, but out of concern for the bad luck of "popping champagne before the race."

Does he crave the Best Actor award? Absolutely, especially since this is an A-list film festival. But precisely because he craves it, he is cautious and careful...

"If you used these words to describe the three major European film festivals, that would be absolutely no problem, very appropriate.

But this is the Shanghai International Film Festival, and it's the first time Lin Dao has submitted to the Shanghai Film Festival, and you are from the Shanghai circle... Isn't it almost becoming a convention that one of the Best Actor and Best Actress awards will likely be kept for ourselves..."

Dong Ping's voice stopped abruptly because Xu Zheng made a shushing gesture, his tone even slightly trembling, an uncontrollable excitement:

"Let's end this topic here, stop here. Let's talk about Director Gu's *Nice to Meet You*."

"What's there to talk about with this film? The theme of youth films is already outdated now, even if this is a comedy-type youth film... I can only say that we will do our best during the Qingming period and try to do a good job in promotion..."

At 9:00 AM sharp, on the third floor of Lin Nan Film, in the large conference room.

To be honest, Lin Nan rarely used this largest conference room because the company rarely held large meetings.

But today he had to use it because there were indeed a lot of people attending the meeting.

Including Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Guo Fan, Yue Jun, Jiang Xuerou, and Han Jia, there were also the screenwriting department, production department, administrative department, and logistics department of Lin Nan Film... two production teams from Tiangong Color... Although only five or six people came as representatives from each of these departments, the total number of people added up to over a hundred.

"Formal cooperation invitations can be sent to Beijing Sport University and Shichahai Martial Arts School, as soon as possible. We need two professional teams for half a year.

The former is responsible for Yifei's physical training, including growth training in various skills and data such as equestrianism, archery, strength, speed, endurance, and explosive power;

The latter is only responsible for martial arts training, including but not limited to close-quarters combat, swordsmanship, blade techniques, long weapons... In addition, a top-tier professional nutritionist team is needed to take care of Yifei's diet and keep in touch with the previous two teams at any time..."

Lin Nan strictly and seriously instructed the administrative and logistics departments regarding Liu Yifei's affairs, while looking at Liu Yifei beside him;

She was still smiling and charming as ever, with no trace of weakness on her fair and smooth face, completely full of fighting spirit... She has always been that resilient Liu Yifei...

"I think it should be no problem for them to build a team and complete the training plan within a month, right?" Lin Nan asked.

"No problem, Lin Dao. I have already confirmed with Beijing Sport University and the martial arts school, and it can be done within half a month. In addition, professional training venues can also be provided by the sports university."

"That's good."

Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Guo Fan: "After *Operation Red Sea* is released, you can start your vacation, or help me prepare for *Mulan*?

If nothing goes wrong, the film should start filming in the second half of next year. You are the first assistant director, and there will be a lot of things, but you can also appropriately throw work other than overall coordination to Han Jia to handle."

Guo Fan nodded with a smile, "Then I'll help with the pre-production preparation. As for things after filming starts, I will of course make the best use of everyone."

While talking, Guo Fan also turned his head and glanced at Han Jia, who was smiling beside him.

The moment he saw Han Jia when he entered the office today, he guessed it; just like during *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*, he and Han Jia were both assistant directors. It's just that he could be much more relaxed this time because Han Jia had already completed her apprenticeship and was no longer a novice!

"Director Guo, I'm partnering with you again. But this time you don't need to carry the burden, I can do it myself. If there is any dirty or tiring work, just order me!" Han Jia laughed carelessly and cupped her hands in a heroic manner.

"No problem." Guo Fan's emotions were also stirred up, and he returned an OK gesture with a smile.

"Xi'an Film, Ningxia Film, Shanghai Film, Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama... Nanjing Museum, Shaanxi History Museum... Archaeology departments of Peking University, Northwest University, Nanjing University... Formally send invitations to these units regarding costumes, props, architectural decoration, history and humanities, military, weapons and armor design... Of course, it must meet the requirements of film and television art..."

Lin Nan reported the names of more than 20 units in one breath. These units were slowly screened by him over the past two months, and preliminary negotiations had also been conducted within the past week or so.

200 million US dollars, a total of 1.4 billion RMB in production costs, how else can it be used if not used like this? Can it be that a little bit should be left and returned to Disney? What kind of international joke is that!

"Lin Dao, should we issue another announcement?" Yue Jun reminded.

"Be low-key in life, high-key in work... Issue it tomorrow morning!" Lin Nan nodded.

"Okay."

"Disney was asking me earlier, saying whether we should go to places like New Zealand for training, after all, many athletes choose to go abroad to these places..."

Liu Yifei teased with a smile. She preferred to be in the country because it was close to home and Lin Nan was by her side.
