That year Huayu

The director's department sent Lin Nan an email and asked him to put it together, and the new banner was ready to be customized at any time.

The school also made new promotional materials for him, which will be used during the art exam.

This left Lin Nan speechless. It was the third year that he had been squeezed by the art exam every year.

I'm afraid there will be a fourth or fifth year later, but I don't know if the school will let him go after he graduates from graduate school.

"This really caught me trying to pluck the wool."

Lin Nan quietly made a foreign language film and took it to Berlin. Only then did the domestic media consciously pay attention to his movements in Hollywood.

Without noticing, this attention revealed that Lin Nan had recently attended many movie public relations receptions, and even met Jackie Chan once.

Two dramas that left a deep impression on Lin Nan have started airing, Hu Jun and Chen Daoming's "Sleeping on Fire and Taste the Courage", and Chen Baoguo's "The Ming Dynasty". The former is on CCTV and the latter is on Mango, which is a great drama to start the new year.

They are all actors in "The Martian", and Lin Nan sent a special message to congratulate them.

New gossip came out, and the matter of Lin Nan being shortlisted for Berlin cooled down in the country.

Huang Shengyi and Xinghui won the lawsuit and it was decided on Hong Kong Island.

Seeing that evidence, Lin Nan also lamented that Xinghui was really exploitable. The salary stated in the contract was 769,000, but in reality he was only given 60,000. It can only be said that both parties are not good friends.

Jiang Yiyan's development is similar to that of Zhou Yang, but she is better at digging than Zhou Yang, and the drama is still constant. At the premiere press conference of the TV series, she spent time with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, talked about the friendship between classmates, and did not mention other classmates.

Liu Yifei was too embarrassed to say anything, and Lin Nan didn't bother to care. In fact, everyone had already drifted away.

Zhou Yang’s call came. It was still night in China.

"Thank you."

"What's wrong?"

"Things about that character. She can almost be regarded as one of the heroines of "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern"."

Time will make people grow. I don’t know since when, Zhou Yang restrained the bold character of his shareholder Beida Niu.

"Have a good performance. Director Yu and the others should start shooting in the second half of the year. Has the contract been signed?"

"Director Zhao came to see me before. I just signed the contract today, and there are still some actors who are still undecided."

"That's good, you'll have to rely on yourself from now on." After a long time, Lin Nan only said this.

"Well, thank you."

Lin Nan hung up the phone on his own initiative and asked each other to be well.

On the other side, the girl looked at the phone in her hand and smiled, water dripping on it.

From now on, you're on your own. She understood what it meant.

"I really envy you, Sissi."

…

Lin Nan also had a headache. If Zhou Yang was like Jiang Yiyan, he would not feel any burden.

I followed Tom to visit the cast of "Twilight". The film is scheduled to be shot in three to four months, and is currently less than half way through.

Not only Tom, but also Wen Ziren is not optimistic about this movie, vampire + youth campus love, which has nothing outstanding in the Hollywood movie market. The story is old-fashioned, the plot is rough, and the emotions are pale...

Almost all the shortcomings that can be thought of when evaluating a movie can be applied here.

"Not every best-selling youth novel is Harry Potter. Lin, you have to be prepared to lose money."

Tom again gave his advice.

"Then do you think I can afford to compensate?"

"Okay, you can afford it."

Lin Nan's contract for director Catherine was a series contract. He wanted to make a good start with the first film and try not to change the lineup later, so that the style of the film could remain consistent.

"We are currently filming very well. Stephanie comes to visit occasionally. The children are very hardworking."

Catherine looked at the Oriental director in front of her and talked about the current situation of the shooting.

I heard that this young director is going to Berlin soon. It is really unbelievable that he is competing for the Golden Bear for the second time at such a young age.

Several main actors also gathered around. Lin Nan was a big director to them, and they were all small actors.

"Everyone, please work hard. I have already negotiated with Lionsgate about the release of this movie. You will see it with the entire North American audience."

All the actors' eyes widened. If Lionsgate distributes it, there will definitely be many theaters open. If it can be popular?

A group of people suddenly thought about it.

"Director Catherine, we are not short of time and we will try to make the movie as perfect as possible." Lin Nan instructed.

"Yes, I know."

The two of them left after not staying long.

"Kristen, you don't really expect this movie to be a hit, do you? Movies are different from novels."

"Taylor, how would you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? This movie seems to be the first independently produced movie by this company. Maybe we will have a chance with other movies in the future."

…

"Lin, are you going to the opening ceremony? Or will you arrive before the closing ceremony and awards night?"

"Before the opening ceremony."

Learning from the lessons of the last "Into the Dust", Lin Nan has to prepare in advance for the promotion of the movie this time.

It takes too long to get a theatrical release, but the film still sells quickly, so I have to go early.

Renting a venue for the premiere and allocating time for publicity, Lin Nan had taken these things into consideration and couldn't be as careless as last time.

"Golden Armor" suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Weiping was like a green bull, venting his anger everywhere.

He and Zhou Runfa started to quarrel again, accusing each other of not cooperating with the publicity.

The result was internal disagreements among the investors, and the Hong Kong investors refused to let Chow Yun-fat go.

Randomly changed his words and banned Zhou Runfa again. People in the industry are happy to see Zhang Weiping's excitement.

This is not like the quarrel between Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke some time ago, where the General Administration personally came down to persuade them to make peace.

At this moment, many media outlets are still making trouble for Zhang Weiping, just waiting to see the joke.

New Line has detailed schedule arrangements for the later stages. For such a large project, it is much more rigorous because of its rich experience.

But Crystal Pictures is different. After all, the scale was not large before. Even if new people are constantly added during this period, it will always take time to adjust and the efficiency is very low.

"Tom, continue to recruit people, all of them need technicians and engineers."

"Still more recruiting? But there are already so many."

"Let's recruit, we have such a big office, and there are still only a few people with a hundred people.

I have other plans in the future..."

Seeing that Lin Nan was hesitant to speak, Tom said no more.

"Okay, let's continue recruiting."

At the end of January, Lin Nan and Tom flew to Berlin together. Ryan Reynolds will be there during the opening ceremony. This movie is special because it does not have a female protagonist.

When I landed in Berlin, I could already feel the atmosphere of the film festival approaching.

Filmmakers and studios from all over the world are rushing here, and large posters for some films can already be seen.

Bringing Tom along means letting him work.

"You are an old man from Berlin, so you don't need to be so formal, right?"

Lin Nan went to the official film festival to sign in and rented a large screening room.

This is the bad thing about the film festival. You have to do the promotion yourself, so Lin Nan rented it for half a month, starting from the 1st of next month.

"Of course it must be formal and give the other party full respect. It may not be beneficial, but it will certainly not be harmful."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Do you still have your golden mean and Confucianism..."

Lin Nan looked at Tom in surprise, how much has this guy learned secretly?

"Don't look at me like that. Although I'm usually not serious, when I'm serious, I'm really knowledgeable. In your words, I've learned five things."

Lin Nan gave him a thumbs up, and everyone knew it.

To be careful, Lin Nan arrived relatively late during the first two times he came to Berlin, in time for the opening ceremony.

This time is considered a normal time, because most of the filmmakers and production companies selling copyrights have almost arrived.

As soon as the promotional sign for "Buried Alive" was placed in the hall, it attracted a lot of attention.

There are only twenty-six films in the main competition, and they have long been remembered by people.

"Buried Alive" is one of them, and the director was the Best Silver Bear Director the year before last.

Many film dealers gathered around, making Lin Nan feel a bit like setting up a street stall.

It's just that this stall sells movies, and they're expensive.

"Lin, when will your movie premiere?"

"On the first of next month, you can take a brochure back. This is a very special movie, I promise."

"When can I meet with you to talk about copyright issues?"

A European film producer asked, "This is an English film, which is an extra bonus."

"No, no, it's too early to talk about this now." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"You're such a shrewd director, like you were two years ago."

When Lin Nan said this, he had an impression. Wasn't this person in front of him someone he had dealt with before?

It's just that Lin Nan delayed it until the end of the award ceremony and sold it to someone else at a high price, not the one in front of him.

At a glance, you can find movies from all over the world here.

This is also another feature of the International Film Festival that cannot be ignored, the Film Trading Center.

I just don’t know how many billions of dollars this year’s transaction volume will reach.

The news that Lin Nan appeared in Berlin to promote a new movie spread back to China within a few hours.

The introduction and brochure of "Buried Alive" were also reported.

"Chinese translation: "Buried Alive". Is it so fancy?"

Many filmmakers were very curious after hearing the news. This name may not have been given to them in China.

"Look at this poster, it's just like a coffin. He's very capable of tossing things around."

"Go back and contact him. Don't go away for a few months. Your thoughts will wander. We don't like this style..."

The school leader said to Tian Zhuangzhuang matter-of-factly.

"You have to look at the content of the movie, right? It's definitely not a supernatural movie. I believe in Lin Nan's consciousness."

It is rare for domestic directors to make foreign-language films. Lin Nan has been in the limelight this time, and relatively more people are paying attention to his film.

But as soon as the name of this movie came out, it was indeed very different from Lin Nan's previous style, which inevitably made people think twice.

"Today, more than 40 film producers have asked for my contact information. Lin, your Silver Bear trophy is really useful."

Tom said with excitement on his face.

Lin Nan ignored Tom. He had just received a call from China Film.

In a few days, their film buying team will come over. This time, Han Sanping will still lead the team. It should be the last time he does this job as a deputy director.
