That year Huayu

It’s September and “The Fault in Our Stars” is about to be released.

"Director Lin, Cai Yinong called again, haha..."

In the studio of the digital production base, Lin Nan was speechless when he heard Yue Jun's words.

During the filming, he turned off his phone. Unexpectedly, Cai Yinong went to Yue Jun's side.

"The media meeting for the premiere of "Step by Step"?" Lin Nan asked.

"Yes. Today, in the capital."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Dehua and others, and waved to Yue Jun:

"It's still the same as before, you represent the company."

"Cai Yinong means, if you are free at noon, can you come over and show your face?"

"Haha, she really knows how to settle for the next best thing! Okay, you go there first, and I'll drive around at noon."

"Well, I'll leave first."

The people in Tang Dynasty have said all the things, so Lin Nan can't be too unreasonable.

"Director Lin, don't you want to have lunch together?" Zhou Xun joked.

"No, I can let you sit in my director's chair temporarily."

Lin Nan made a joke that made several actors laugh.

Liu Dehua came back from Venice with regrets indeed. He is also a person who pursues awards.

He has always hoped to prove his acting skills and make the public's first impression of him, from the king Andy Lau to the actor Andy Lau.

"When it comes to international film festival experience, all the people present combined cannot compare to Director Lin. Do you have any good suggestions?"

This question is a bit straightforward and really hard to answer.

"What can I say? There is no accurate advice on this kind of thing. You can be shortlisted based on your ability and win the prize based on luck."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Dehua and said with a smile.

The latter probably recalled the time when Lin Nan won the Golden Lion Award and Matt Damon also won the Best Actor trophy.

Liu Dehua smiled bitterly, nodded, and said sincerely:

"If Director Lin has a suitable role in his next award-winning film, please consider me. I can get zero pay..."

When these words were spoken, Zhou Xun, Lei Jiayin, Reba and others were all stunned.

Andy Lau's salary is not low. It was more than 10 million when he was filming "The Legend" many years ago!

Lin Nan didn't expect that Liu Dehua would say this, so determined!

"Well, if there is a suitable role, I will consider Hua Ge."

…………

When the crew took a break at noon, Lin Nan drove to the media meeting site of "Step by Step".

There are many actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan in this drama. When people say hello to him, Lin Nan just nods because they are not familiar with them.

The media reporters were very interested in Lin Nan's arrival.

Everyone came up for interviews, asking about "The Star" and "Passengers", which was a bit overwhelming.

"This is the press conference of "Step by Step". Don't ask about my movie. There will be an announcement later."

After getting rid of the media, Lin Nan chatted with Hu Ge for a while. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Is that TV series finished?"

"No, it will take another half a month. When this TV series is finished, I will never film this kind of subject again. What you said back then was really correct..."

Hu Ge looked a little tired, and his tone of voice was also decadent.

Lin Nan looked at Cai Yinong in the distance and said:

"If you want to pursue something, just take a break. Your boss Cai asked you to bring the newcomers, but the newcomers didn't come out and dragged you back again."

"Hey, I already feel this way. I'm going to try drama..."

In Lin Nan's opinion, Hu Ge's best way out is to leave the Tang people. The water in the Tang people is too shallow and cannot produce big products.

But thinking about Hu Ge's character, I'm afraid he won't leave, he is too nostalgic, and more importantly, he has kindness...

Lin Nan thought for a while, and as a friend, he still mentioned:

“This circle is very big, and sometimes we really need a change of environment.

Let’s not talk about whether to change jobs or not. It’s okay to open a studio. At least this way you will be freer and have more room for contact and choice. It will also be convenient for other companies to want to cooperate with you..."

Lin Nan was not afraid that these words would reach Cai Yinong. It was originally a suggestion, and Hu Ge could definitely tell the difference between good and bad.

However, Lin Nan always found this behavior quite exciting when giving such advice to Hu Ge at the Tang Dynasty press conference!

…………

That movie "Overheard 2" was released for half a month, and the box office reached 150 million yuan.

The grandiose words at the celebration party were impossible to come true.

Not to mention the 300 million box office target? Now it is quite difficult to reach 200 million.

In early September, two small- and medium-budget domestic films, "Global Love" and "The Great Taker," held their premieres.

At this time, "The Fault in Our Stars" was finally released.

"The romantic literary film "The Fault in Our Stars," directed by Lin Nan and starring Liu Yifei, was officially released today."

"One month after the movie "The Fault in Our Stars" was released, the total box office revenue was 488 million."

""The Star" has set a new box office record for domestic literary and artistic films. It is expected that no literary and artistic film will be able to break the record of 488 million for a long time in the future!"

…………

Not only the media is reporting, but many artists, filmmakers, and production companies in the industry are sending congratulatory messages.

"Star Destiny" indeed created a miracle.

"It is very difficult for literary and artistic films to get this kind of box office. The box office appeal of the two of them plays a decisive role." Zhang Yimou analyzed during an interview.

"This should be the most successful literary film in China so far, with a good harvest of awards and box office!"

Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei and others also look envious, and it is difficult for their films to achieve balance.

…………

In the evening, Liu Yifei finished work earlier than Lin Nan.

"It's a pity that it didn't reach 500 million." Ms. Liu felt a little regretful.

"Don't say this out loud."

"Well, why?"

"Be careful of people saying you are greedy, haha..." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Hmph, you are so greedy."

"The most I covet is you..."

…

When I was on the set today, many acquaintances came to visit me and couldn't stop talking about "The Star".

The box office is so high that any insider can roughly calculate how much the producers Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will get.

Everyone clamored for Lin Nan to quickly prepare a celebration banquet and ask for the most luxurious one.

Lin Nan's answer at the time was also very decisive, "The celebration banquet must be held. Since everyone is here, let's follow the staff to put on makeup first..."

In this way, there are many more guest actors in the dormant cabin: Huang Bo, Yan Danchen, Fan Bingbing, Xie Nan...

In addition, Lin Nan also extended an invitation to Zhang Yimou, who also agreed to come and make a guest appearance tomorrow.

"My dress has arrived, would you like to take a look?"

Liu Yifei suddenly said with a sly expression.

"Okay, take me to see it."

"Well, let's go." Liu Yifei grabbed Lin Nan's hand and walked to the cloakroom on the second floor together.

Although he had been here more than once, Lin Nan still had to sigh that Miss Liu's cloakroom was so big.

The gauze covers a dress, which is very beautiful, very beautiful, and definitely high-end.

Liu Yifei obviously liked this dress very much, her eyes were shining, but she didn't notice that Lin Nan's face was a little dark.

"Can't you change it to another one?"

"Why? The styling team said this one best matches my temperament, and I like it very much."

Liu Yifei blinked at Lin Nan, smiled and shook her head. She really didn't want to change.

Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei. She wrinkled her nose and looked back and forth between Lin Nan and the dress.

"Okay, I'll hurry up and finish work on "Passengers" these two days, and I'll go with you then."

"Really?" Liu Yifei asked expectantly.

"real."

What can Lin Nan do? This dress matches Liu Yifei perfectly, and it will definitely turn heads when worn.

Therefore, she needs a flower protector!

…………

"Director Lin, are you serious?"

"No kidding, there are not many scenes left, so hurry up and finish filming in the past few days and wrap it up as soon as possible.

It just so happened that the wrap-up party of "Passengers" and the celebration party of "The Star" were held together! "

Lin Nan informed this matter on the set.

"You're stingy, one less thing to do." Zhou Xun muttered to himself.

Liu Dehua had no objection. Lin Nan's usual shooting pace was moderate and he didn't like to rush to night shows.

There aren't many scenes left now, so there's nothing wrong with speeding up the pace.

…………

Lin Nan couldn't figure it out. How could some people be so self-righteous?

Lou Ye has been banned in China for five years. In the past few years, he has been filming abroad, or filming secretly in China in violation of regulations. It has only been half a month since the ban was lifted, and he is starting to cause trouble again.

He wasted no time in preparing an outline of the script and sent it to the film bureau as soon as the ban was lifted. However, he was slapped back within a week.

According to normal logic, one should ask about the reasons and refine the script.

But Lou Ye didn't do that. He directly posted on Weibo to accuse his superiors of wearing small shoes because he had "stains" on his body!

That's fine, but this guy actually made a lot of "complaints" when being interviewed by foreign media.

The result was that the public opinion spread outside all of a sudden and made a big fuss.

Even Jiang Wen complained about Lou Ye, "Movie fans call him 'Mr. Lou', and he really thinks he is a master.

None of us are honest after the ban is lifted. Originally, it was we who violated the policy and accepted the punishment.

But he was the only one who felt that he was right... In the past few years, when he was filming outside, he often complained about his domestic ban. "

Lin Nan recalled that at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, Director Lou took "Spring Breeze" which was secretly filmed in China to compete.

After winning the Best Screenplay Award, he publicly criticized the Film Bureau in front of a group of foreign media. He was very fierce at that time!

Sure enough, within two days, Lin Nan heard the gossip from Han Sanping.

Lou Ye's script was rejected because it only had an outline and was too sloppy. If he makes a fuss like this, it will become a big deal.

In view of Lou Ye's behavior, the Tong Bureau has already said hello.

The film bureau will not review Lou Ye for at least half a year, and it will not review any scripts. In addition, he must take the initiative to admit his mistakes...

Lin Nan also felt that this great director had been praised to the heavens in the past few years, so there was something wrong with his cognition.

Zhou Xun was also a little emotional. Her first Best Actress Award was the Best Actress Award at the Paris Film Festival for Lou Ye's "Suzhou River".
