literary world

It rained non-stop.

The invited guests of the Hundred Flowers Awards at the 23rd Popular Film Festival are no longer reluctant to part with the red carpet.

Everyone stepped on the red carpet of "bajibaji" and rushed into the Lanzhou Grand Theater.

"Why can't the crew incident of No. 2682 be filmed again? I originally planned to take it out to film a subject that deeply explores human nature."

Fang Nan smiled at Chen Kexin: "I told you to wait first. Recently, too many scripts in the company have been shelved. This project at the forefront is not suitable for launching."

Lao Mouzi on the other side asked curiously: "There are many, what other scripts are there?"

"One TV series about anti-corruption "In the Name of the People" and another one called "Operation Mekong". The other is Director Chen's "Jiangyuan Killing the Husband", and my script "The God of Medicine" focuses on the disadvantaged. So There will be a lot of verbal battles next year."

After hearing Fang Nan's words, Lao Mouzi, Chen Kexin and the others couldn't help being dumbfounded: "My good fellow, you have involved so many departments now."

In the past, domestic directors should pay attention to two things when filming.

One, take fewer shots of disgraced, poor, and backward, because the mental outlook is not good.

Second, don't take pictures that are confusing and unreasonable, as it is easy to get children's thinking.

Fang Nan is doing well now, and directly focuses on more profound things, such as anti-corruption, going head-to-head with pharmaceutical companies, or major events, these domestic directors never dared to think about it before.

Lao Mouzi's filming of "Raise the Red Lantern" was repeatedly reviewed.

Jiang Wen was banned for five years for filming "The Devil Is Coming".

It can only be said to be confident and self-willed.

Fang Nan was chatting with several directors when someone tapped his back and turned around to hear Zhao Yanzi say, "Director, this is my actress Yang Zishan in "To Youth", this is Chen Gen, Hai Qing Your company."

Fang Nan nodded, and shook hands with several people politely.

Just when she was about to turn her head, Xue Xiaolu introduced her to the cast of "The Capital Meets Seattle". After that, Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao came to say hello, but it was another exchange of pleasantries.

His current working status is almost like this, either hiding in the company and facing a lot of documents.

Either participate in award ceremonies, charity and other activities, and be sought after and chatted by countless people.

In short, there is no time for peace.

Fortunately, the host came to the stage soon, introduced the guests, finished the opening dance, and the awards ceremony began.

There were 10 awards in total for the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards. After the 6 awards for Best Newcomer, Supporting Female, Supporting Actor, Leading Actress, and Screenwriter were awarded, after two songs were interspersed, it was Fang Nan's turn to present the Best Director Award.

Zhao Yanzi took the trophy from Fang Nan without any dispute.

The reason why there is no controversy is that Zhao Yanzi at this meeting is still an out-and-out celebrity, not only in the entertainment circle, but also in the capital circle after getting acquainted with the old horse.

Her reports often appear on entertainment news, financial news, and economic news.

What works well will guide, how much wealth the husband and wife have accumulated, and bought an old French winery at a high price.

But in front of Fang Nan, Zhao Yanzi still had to pinch his nose and pretend to be small.

After all, even the old horse she was attached to was only at the same level as Fang Nan. …

And it may not have the scenery of Fang Nanhuo.

The old horse is superficial, giving speeches everywhere, bragging, and returning to the company has to be a headache for shareholders.

Fang Nan is a director on the surface, but in the company he keeps his promises.

The company's business covers dozens of countries, involving entertainment [film and television, theaters, advertising, streaming media, reading, artist brokerage, toys, music, short [games], retail, tourism, investment, real estate, technology, etc. project.

Everyone knows that Fang Nan's personal wealth ranks third in China, but who can really calculate the market value of his unlisted properties.

Who knows how much money this guy has.

Therefore, Fang Nan is a real crocodile, and smart people would not treat him like a rich man.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, the judges, and Director Fang for presenting me the honor of the Hundred Flowers Award. It feels extremely heavy to receive this trophy from Director Fang. Director Fang Nan's artistic attainments are too deep. I am a little apprehensive, but in short, I hope I will work harder in the future, thank you everyone."

After delivering her acceptance speech, Zhao Yanzi once again hugged Fang Nan who was standing aside, and then the two stepped off the stage with smiles amidst applause.

After the Best Director Award was awarded, the Best Film Award of the 23rd Hundred Flowers Awards went to "The Grandmaster" as expected.

So far, there is no so-called big winner tonight.

"The Grandmaster" has the best picture and best actress.

"To Youth" has the best director and best screenwriter.

"Partner" has an excellent feature film, best actor, and best supporting actor.

Deng Jiajia in "Full Name Witness", that is, the little aunt in "Love Apartment" won the Best Supporting Actress Award. She is an artist of Tangtang Film and Television. After the show, Fang Nan, Hai Qing and Xue Xiaolu were specially invited to the celebration banquet.

"Forget it." Fang Nan was speechless.

The most injured one that night was "Beijing Meets Seattle". Xue Xiaolu and others all attended, but they sat there all night with countless particles and looked extremely embarrassed.

Fang Nan quit, "Seattle" was produced by Tang Tang Film and Television, he didn't feel ashamed, what's the embarrassment?

With the current word-of-mouth of Golden Rooster and Hundred Blossoms, it's really hard to tell whether it's the embarrassment of winning or the embarrassment of not being awarded.

No, netizens are scolding for sharing pork.

When netizens were clichéd to condemn Baihua, Fang Nan was accepting media interviews in the interview area.

He didn't have any work to participate in, let alone won an award, and he got the opportunity to be interviewed entirely because he brought traffic and brought topics.

所以，他也很不客气的大大的宣传了一番将会于11月5号在北美公映，11月7号欧洲公映，11月12号亚洲公映的《星际穿越》。

The release date of "Interstellar" made him feel a lot of pressure.

For China, November is not a good time, as it is so far away from the Lunar New Year holiday, and there is no such thing as a Christmas holiday in China.

Then there's the fact that Interstellar isn't your regular popcorn sci-fi movie.

It's not as easy to understand as "Gravity", "The Martian", and "The Wandering Earth".

To put it bluntly, it is a little literary, and the correct name should be a sci-fi film that is more literary.

The physical knowledge involved in the movie frowns as a director. Can ordinary audiences be expected to ponder over it?
Therefore, he is not worried about the word-of-mouth of "Interstellar", but a little worried about the box office. …

The final box office of the movie depends on the publicity and who is more popular with fans all over the world, between him and the original director Nolan.

It stands to reason that he has a relatively large advantage. After all, he has directed several sci-fi movies in a row, and each one has a better reputation.

"Director, go to the celebration banquet."

Fang Nan rejected Huang Xiaoming's invitation. "Partner", "The Great Master", including "To Youth" all have more or less funds from Tangtang Film and Television, so he can't participate in one show and give up the other.

Huang Xiaoming walked past the reporters and insisted: "Hi, I know you're in trouble, so "Partner" and "The Grandmaster" held a celebration banquet together, it's cold, drink some wine and fly tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Fang Nan smiled and said to the reporter: "Everyone, this is the only time for the interview. We have to go to the celebration banquet. Everyone, go back to the hotel to wash up and eat. Today, you are more or less wet."

"Director Fang, how's your alcohol tolerance?" A reporter followed closely.

"It's okay, but if you drink less, it's often enough."

"After ending the cooperation with Universal Pictures, are you preparing for the next work? Is it science fiction?"

Fang Nan shook his head: "I'm prepared, but I can't say for sure. Science fiction movies will come to an end, and I probably won't touch them in 5 to 10 years. In the next few years, let's take a rest and tell stories well, and return to the original intention of movies."

"After Gao Yuanyuan uploaded "Cuckoo" which you played and sang on the prairie, many fans launched a joint petition on the Internet, wanting you to release an album to satisfy everyone's wishes. Why do you keep refusing it?"

"The main reason is that I don't have time. Besides, my singing is at the ktv level, and I'm really not as good as everyone praises."

Watching Fang Nan get into the car, the reporter had regrets on his face.

Sorry for the short interview.

It's a pity that Fang Nan refused to release an album anyway.

Fang Nan always said that his singing level is average, so he doesn't want to pollute everyone's ears.

Didn't he know that Huang Xiaoming, who sang "Troubleshooting" next to him, has released several albums, and what's even more frightening is that there are also English singles in the album.

Fang Nan, who has written so many good songs but is unwilling to release an album, is confusing.

At the celebration banquet, there was a feast of toasts and chips, and everyone chatted about the current top trends in the entertainment industry and the status quo.

In 2014, the most popular ones in China were the four returnees and the three little ones, which are naturally synonymous with traffic.

The elders lamented this, times have changed, the reason why they became famous and sought after by movie fans is because of each work, how much blood and tears were condensed during the period.

Take Zhang Ziyi for example.

I was injured all over from the action scenes, and I couldn't understand the words when I went to Hollywood, so I let others play with me.

In order to grab a good role, sometimes you have to commit yourself to others. Didn't you have a scene with Fang Nan? Xinglu can be said to have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

As for the children nowadays, so many people like singing and dancing, which is very enviable.

Fang Nan didn't dislike or envy any kind of traffic, he himself was the traffic director.

The formation of traffic is because the development of the Internet has narrowed the distance between people, making it easier to create stars.

Many people's bad taste-forming games have made the four returnees and the three little ones become top-notch.

To put it bluntly, this is the result of marketization. …

Fang Nan's calmness is praised by everyone for his good attitude. After all, there are not many Tang and Tang film and television artists, but there are dozens of them, and the market is so big. What kind of three little ones are Taiwanese idol godmothers? Others will naturally lose market share .

"Why, you all set up studios to bring artists?" Fang Nan was curious.

Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming and others all nodded their heads: "The studio is a big trend now."

Chen Kexin also said: "Who doesn't run a studio if they are a bit famous nowadays, they earn a lot."

Fang Nan sighed, and said slowly: "Rather than making a lot of money, it is better to say that it is convenient for tax avoidance and tax evasion. I don't think your legal awareness is so firm. I will see if you do this. In the future, people who cry will probably A lot."

"If I tell you that you have enough money, 10 out of 9 of you will think I'm pretending."

"But I still want to say, 'The greater the desire, the greater the courage'. We are in this business where money comes in quickly, and many people are not satisfied. I really can't imagine what some people will become in the future."

"And when one scandal after another is exposed, the entertainment industry will be less and less understood by the public, so where will everyone go?"

"For the sake of word-of-mouth in the entertainment industry, I, the officially appointed supervisor, seriously persuaded everyone today to put more focus on making good works."

"You can also be stubborn, but if something happens and your career in the Mainland is ruined, don't expect me to help you."

"On the contrary, Pan Yueming and Xiao Pan are also here. Everyone should know about his affairs, but he is not corrupt and perverting the law. I can make him recover from the bottom of the valley, even hotter than before. Maybe I will take him there. dock."

"Enough talking, let's have a drink together, I have to go first, I have to fly to New York."

After the words were finished, Fang Nan picked up the wine bowl and stood up slowly. There were 5 tables in the private room, Cheng Long, Lao Mouzi, Wang Jiawei, Chen Kexin, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Ziyi and others all stood up at the same time.

Fang Nan's advice can be taken as fart, but Fang Nan's respect and attitude cannot be ignored.

Many people, many studios and companies need this person to feed them.

"I only said what I said just now after I took over the vacant position of supervision, and I will never say it again. Cheers, everyone, everyone has a bright future!"

"Dry!"

He raised his head and drank the wine, Fang Nan shook hands with Lao Mouzi, Cheng Long and others, then put on the woolen coat handed over by the secretary, turned and left.

When I woke up, New York hadn't arrived yet.

After Fang Nan washed up and ate something, the plane landed slowly.

"Liu Qianqian is not a good candidate, she has delayed many things."

Luo Jie, who waited until Fang Nan's crazy BB in the terminal, complained: "Hu is too, is he crazy? Why don't you come to Hollywood to shoot "John Wick" and make TV dramas in China!"

Just as MGM's business improved, the company's flagship "Space Passenger" project suffered a head-on blow. Roger almost hated Liu Qianqian to death.

If the other party wasn't a veteran entertainer of Tang Tang Film and Television, who was favored by Fang Nan, he would have kicked him already, what a waste of time.

"Let's put the project about Sissi first. Let me ask you, is the script of "Godzilla 2" written? And the script of "King Kong Skull Island" that I passed to you, who do you want to be the director of?"

"I auditioned several directors. Jordan Vogel Roberts, who was born in 84 and directed "Death Valley", has a good idea and fits your script very well. I would like to invite him to direct "King Kong Skull Island."

"Michael Dougherty of "Godzilla 2" is more suitable to be the director. He used to be the screenwriter of "X-Men" and later made several fantasy and comedy movies such as "Satan Side Story" by himself. The idea is very good. "

Fang Nan nodded and said, "Xiao Zhu chooses a time for the two of them to meet with me. I have to have a serious chat with them."

"Godzilla 2" and "Skull Island" are very important to him.

These two movies don’t mean that if they are shot well, they will have a high box office, and there must be interaction in between.

So instead of finding a good director or a well-known director to take over, it is better to find two obedient directors who are willing to accept his control.

Fang Nan was also ready. If Hollywood couldn't do it, he transferred a young director from Huaxia. He was tired and taught and cultivated.

The North American promotion has been running day and night for more than half a month, and the promotion team of "Interstellar" stayed in Europe for another week. Seeing that the North American release began, the group of them rushed back to the North American city for a road show.

When "Interstellar" was released in North America on November 11, Fang Nan also dumped the two directors Luo Jie had found.
