That year Huayu

"White Snake", "Martial Arts" and other movies, I wanted to go to the Busan Film Festival to find some comfort.

In the end, as expected, everyone returned home in despair.

In the words of netizens, a bad movie will be a bad movie after all, and Bangzi is not that easy to fool.

"The Revolution of 1911 is really too horrible to watch, so why is it being discontinued now?"

"I originally promised that I would surpass "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Founding of the Party", but the box office of 57.88 million made Dong Ren an inside joke, haha..."

…

During this period, Shanghai Film and Changying were constantly mentioned and discussed by colleagues in the industry, and most of them laughed at them.

Looking at the movie market in recent years, "Revolution of 1911" should be the most profitable movie, bar none.

With an investment of 150 million, the box office was only 57.88 million. It is very appropriate to describe it as losing all money!

I heard that both Jackie Chan and Li Bingbing starred in low-paying roles, otherwise the cost would only be higher...

"Director Lin, Guangguang has sent us the post about the celebration banquet."

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "He is really impatient."

"Painting on the Wall" has been in theaters for three weeks, and the box office has exceeded 170 million. There are still ten days left until release.

"We have already made a lot of money. It is understandable that Director Wang is happy. It probably also means to stimulate the "Legend of White Snake", haha..."

Lin Nan nodded. That's right, "Painting on the Wall", which invested 30 million yuan, is the biggest winner in this year's National Day festival.

On the contrary, Juli's "White Snake" was ruined.

The topic has always been high, but there has been no big movement at the box office, which has just reached 160 million.

Considering Yang Zai’s character of telling lies and bragging.

The investment of 240 million for this movie seems a bit false, but there should still be around 180 million.

Comparing the box office and production costs, everyone in the industry knows that "White Snake" is definitely over.

After this huge loss, Juli Film and Television, which has only been open for two years, is probably going to be in trouble.

Even if he doesn't die, he will most likely be living in the film and television industry...

…………

The Golden Rooster opened, but it was treated as a joke on the first day.

Zhang Yimou declined the invitation. Jiang Wen and Xu Ke refused to attend.

Chen Kaige was rejected for "The Orphan of Zhao" and also declined the guest invitation.

Not to mention Lin Nan, he hasn’t spoken to Jin Rooster for several years...

Gu Changwei, Jia Zhangke, Wang Quan'an, Wang Xiaoshuai...

Except for Feng Xiaogang, many major directors were either absent or went to Golden Horse.

This "shabby" situation has caused the media and the industry to question the ability of the organizing committee of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

"Are you kidding? I'm not interested..."

Lin Nan was convinced by these people and began to lobby the directors in the circle one by one to attend the Golden Rooster awards ceremony and be a guest.

Just now, a "senior" whom I knew a lot came to lobby Lin Nan.

After a while, several text messages came back, and Lin Nan glanced at them.

Sure enough, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao and even Jia Zhangke were once again given "careful" ideological work.

promise? How is that possible! If you agree, you will only lose face even more and slap yourself in the face!

Lin Nan suddenly thought of something.

"Feng Xiaogang is the only major director on the shortlist. With nine nominations, he is well received by the public. I guess he thinks so too! If he doesn't get to share the cake in the end or there are only leftovers..."

Thinking of this, Lin Nan found it interesting. Considering the urine properties of golden roosters, it is really hard to say.

"If something like this really happened, Feng Xiaogang would probably have to overturn the table on the spot! Haha, I look forward to it..."

…………

Although there were some twists and turns in the matter of "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", fortunately it was not affected.

Jiang Yanrou went to the launch conference on behalf of Lin Nan Pictures.

But it was another movie that attracted more media attention.

"The 3D action treasure-hunting blockbuster "Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" with an investment of 220 million officially started shooting in Hangzhou today."

"After finishing filming "Passengers" last month, Andy Lau once again joined the cast and starred in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". He is also one of the leading actors in "Thieves"..."

Lin Nan saw the news and was pulled into it again.

Many media stared at Liu Dehua and asked very deliberate questions.

"We all know that director Lin Nan's scripts are well-known in the industry.

Compared with "The Thief", what do you think of the script of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"? "

"Well... I'm just an actor. I don't have the ability or qualifications to evaluate whether the two scripts are good or bad."

Liu Dehua smiled and had an answer instantly.

Many actors at the scene admired Liu Dehua's wit. Sure enough, he lowered himself and many problems were easily solved.

When asked about the box office, Sun Jianjun, one of the producers and directors, and Han Sanping were very excited.

"China Film Group also invested in "Thieves". I think "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will not be worse than "Thieves", and it is not a problem to surpass "Thieves"..."

Han Sanping's speech was full of confidence and absoluteness.

Lin Nan took this news as a joke.

A film and television company boss who has never made a movie directly directs and stars in a 220 million blockbuster movie. It sounds very fantasy!

"Huh?"

In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Liu Dehua, which made him a little confused.

"Brother Hua, isn't your phone turned on today? Why do you have time to make a phone call?"

Liu Dehua on the other side of the phone sounded a little helpless.

"I just got the complete script today. It's also a treasure-hunting action movie. I just can't bear it anymore. I'll give you a call..."

Just like that, Liu Dehua was talking, and Lin Nan was listening... and by the way, he was holding a moment of silence for him.

In Lin Nan's eyes, Liu Tianwang actually didn't have any discernment in selecting scripts. Many of the scripts he liked were a bit bad.

But if he can make him say that the script is terrible, then there is a high probability that it is really terrible!

This is a blatant example of being fooled by the script outline and high salary.

"It really can't be compared with the script of "Thieves". It feels like the theme is treasure hunting, but the plot is completely off track. I don't know what I'm doing. It's a mess..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan just smiled and wished Liu Tianwang good luck.

Finally, Liu Dehua hung up the phone with a regretful tone.

…………

Lin Nan is not going to follow his previous habit of switching to realistic or literary films after commercial films.

After filming "Passengers" this time, he plans to continue making commercial films.

In addition, you have to take the time to visit Crystal Pictures...

…………

"Teacher Xue is looking for you, and the phone calls have all come to me."

Liu Yifei turned over the book in her hand and said to Lin Nan.

The latter took out his cell phone and saw that it was out of power and turned off.

"Didn't you say anything?"

"No, I just asked you to call me back. I feel like Teacher Xue is a little embarrassed, haha..."

Liu Yifei became more energetic when talking about this matter. She guessed that Xue Xiaolu should ask Lin Nan for help.

Lin Nan nodded, "I'm going to charge the battery for a while and get back to her."

…………

Similar to Liu Yifei's thoughts, in Lin Nan's opinion, Xue Xiaolu probably had something serious to do, otherwise she wouldn't have come to him.

As for what's serious? Apart from movies, there should be nothing else.

Starting from "Li Mi's Conjecture" by Cao Baoping, and then to "Thirty-three Days of Love".

Lin Nan has become the first choice for investment in the eyes of many Nortel teachers.

At his undergraduate graduation ceremony, he promised to invest in Nortel directing students or teachers, but he never thought of taking it back.

For so long, Cao Baoping and Lu Yang were not the only ones who had looked for him, but many.

But most people really regarded Lin Nan as the one who was taken advantage of, and they dared to say anything that would break the script.

Some teachers are even more shameless. A small-budget movie that can be produced with only a few million will cost 10 to 20 million.

There was only one final result: being "invited" out of the company by Lin Nan.

…

On the phone, Xue Xiaolu said that she was working on a script and was halfway through writing it.

Lin Nan had nothing to do anyway, so he simply went back to Nortel.

"Who's a bitch here? You drove a Ferrari into school, and it's red!"

Many students were complaining.

When the people in the car came out, a group of people instantly shut up. Because it was Lin Nan who came out of there

"Why don't you speak? Go on, speak louder so that Director Lin can hear you. Haha..."

Some people teased the classmates around them.

Lin Nan walked towards the Literature Department, and people kept saying hello to him.

"What are Director Lin doing back to school today?"

"I don't know. It seems like I'm not going to the directing or acting department..."

…………

Department of Literature.

Xue Xiaolu was still quite embarrassed.

"I originally wanted to talk to you first and then go to your company."

"You don't need to be so polite. Sister Xue is still teaching the students. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I came over by the way.

In fact, you can tell Yifei the same thing directly on the phone, haha..."

Although the script was only half completed, the complete outline and framework were available. Lin Nan sat in the office and read it.

How can I put it this way, the movie based on this script should have more female viewers than males.

After half an hour, the script stopped.

"How about it? Is there a market?" Xue Xiaolu asked with a smile, obviously a little confident.

"There must be a market, but you are also a professor now, so why would you write such a script?" Lin Nan joked.

Xue Xiaolu understood what Lin Nan meant and said with a smile:

"It's true, the audience likes to see it. This is originally a commercial film script. If a money-worshiping girl returns from her own way, can she not get true love?"

Lin Nan really had nothing to say. He gave a thumbs up and said jokingly, "Okay, after all, it is the honest man who bears everything."

The script was returned to Xue Xiaolu by Lin Nan.

"Sister Xue, when the script is completely written, you can come to the company to find me, or Yifei or Yue Jun.

But there’s something I need to tell you in advance. I’m going to be involved in the final casting, and I might even be able to cast someone…”

Lin Nan didn't know if the company's artists had schedules at that time, and if there were suitable roles, he would have to wait and see.

But these did not affect him from saying hello to Xue Xiaolu in advance.

Xue Xiaolu nodded without objection and said with a smile:

"Well, of course it's no problem. When it comes to being a director, you are better than me, and you are the one who pays for it."
