That year Huayu

Lin Nan sat on the sofa, enjoying Shu Chang's shoulder-squeezing service.

"Brother, how's it going? I want a second female lead, and Sissi agreed."

"Nonsense, I didn't agree, haha..."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, denying it, and then pointed to her shoulder.

"Oh, Producer Sissi, I'm coming right away."

Lin Nan suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders. He turned around and saw Shu Chang running up to Liu Yifei. The two girls were laughing and joking.

"You two."

Lin Nan laughed and complained.

He couldn't tell that Liu Yifei must have made an agreement with Shu Chang. She was asking herself about the casting a few days ago.

It is estimated that at that time, Liu Yifei was thinking about letting Shu Chang play the second female lead.

"Changchang, please understand, I am the director." Lin Nan deliberately joked.

"Hehe, but Sissi is the producer."

Shu Chang made a face and retorted.

"I think it's pretty good. I acted with Changchang. Last time..."

"Last time it was "Dragon Movie", but the two of us didn't play opposite each other."

Shu Chang spoke directly before Liu Yifei finished speaking.

"Then it's better to talk about "Golden Pink Family"."

Liu Yifei laughed and joked, with a trace of reminiscence in her eyes. They were two little girls at that time.

Lin Nan looked at the two of them with emotion. This kind of pure friendship is really precious.

"There's something I need to say."

"What's going on?" Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at Lin Nan.

"The Children's Bureau agreed to help me review the script, but the filming location must be changed to Hong Kong Island. Please keep it confidential."

"Because of the review board?"

"Yeah, I'm just a thorn in their eyes. I finally got caught once, but I'm not allowed to hammer hard, hahaha."

Lin Nan laughed and laughed at himself.

"Isn't it also okay to make a foreign language film?"

Shu Chang asked innocently. She knew that Lin Nan owned Crystal Pictures in Hollywood.

"No, as long as a movie wants to be released in the mainland, even if the script is not subject to restrictions, the finished film must pass the review of the Film Bureau.

Only in this way can we get permission for public release. The same people are responsible for reviewing the finished film. "

Lin Nan explained to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang.

No matter how big a director you are, no matter how influential you are, you can't avoid that group of people.

It's just that the more famous a director is, the harder it is to be targeted, but it's by no means impossible.

This is power!

“Now I finally understand why many big directors often scold those people.

Because I couldn't escape from either side, I had to bite the bullet, revise it again and again, and submit it for review again and again. "

Shu Chang suddenly realized.

"But it's okay, two years at most." Lin Nan remembered Han Sanping's words.

"What two years?"

“In two years at most, those people will have to undergo a major change.

Although the people who come in may not necessarily change their style, they will definitely be 'sensible' than the current group of old guys! "

…………

Lin Nan personally sent the script, which took two hours and made minor changes, to the film bureau the next day.

This time, he remembered Tong Gang's instructions and waited until the latter came out of the meeting before he handed the script to him with confidence.

"Haha, you made it look like a joint."

Looking at Lin Nan's cautious look, Tong Gang joked.

"Aren't you afraid of running into the review committee people? Tong Bureau, I'm sorry to trouble you this time, I've already selected half of the actors."

"Well, I won't keep you. Go back and wait for news."

Tong Gang threw Lin Nan's file bag containing the script into the drawer, then waved his hand and said very calmly.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

…………

"Genius Gunman" was delivered to Tong Gang in the morning, and in the afternoon the news came out that "Love in Seattle" had passed the review.

"Director and screenwriter Xue Xiaolu: "Love in Seattle" is announced to have passed the review!"

The media thought of the previous meeting between Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Xue Xiaolu in a coffee shop.

Not long after, reporters either went to Nortel to find Xue Xiaolu, or came to Lin Nan Pictures to find Yue Jun.

Xue Xiaolu didn’t hide it either:

"This movie was indeed written by me and will be directed by me. The casting process is currently over."

Yue Jun was more formal here and announced the news directly on Weibo to avoid any more media blocking the door.

"Lin Nan Pictures will fully produce director Xue Xiaolu's new film: "Love in Seattle."

"Shanhai Media artist Yang Mi will star in the movie as the female lead!"

Later, Xue Xiaolu also announced the casting situation.

"The male lead: Yu Hewei, the female lead: Yang Mi, supporting role: Hai Qing..."

…

As the news spread, many agencies and actresses lamented that this was too confidential.

The industry has just learned about this project, and it turns out that all of you actors have been cast!

Everyone in the industry remembers that Xue Xiaolu's last movie was "Love Is Not Blind", which earned 355 million at the box office.

This is how Zhu Yawen secured her first-line position, and Wang Luodan was originally a first-line actress.

What about "Love in Seattle" this time? !

Among the main actors, Yang Mi received much more attention than Yu Hewei.

The cast of "Wu-Tang".

Seeing that the movie roles were completely finalized, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were relieved.

"Congratulations, this drama hasn't ended yet, the heroine of the next movie has been arranged."

Zhao Wenzhuo smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuo. Didn't I see that you were also talking about your next drama two days ago? Is there any result?"

To be honest, there have been a lot of fights in the past month, and Yang Mi has received a lot of attention from Zhao Wenzhuo.

"Haha, okay, okay, we're almost done talking about it, we'll sign it in two days."

…………

Tangren, Cai Yinong is not in a good mood right now.

When the news of "Love in Seattle" was announced, the "bees" came again to mock it.

"Is there any news from Guangguang? With the popularity of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Shi Shi should have no problem getting the female lead."

Cai Yinong asked his assistant. At the beginning of the year, Yang Mi won the "Hongmen Banquet" based on "Gong Lock Heart Jade".

Tangren wanted to copy this routine, so it took the initiative to contact some production companies.

Among them, Guang Guang's "Sad Fairy Tale" best meets the requirements. After all, Guang Guang doesn't have any good actors.

The assistant was slightly happy, "Mr. Cai, I was just going to tell you that Guangguang's vice director has agreed."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong was immediately happy, "Okay. Didn't you say when it will be turned on?"

"January."

"Yes, that's right. After Shi Shi finishes filming "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", there will be enough time."

Cai Yinong hesitated and called Yue Jun.

These "bees" are looking for trouble all day long, and there is no solution.

…

…

Yue Jun thinks there is something wrong with Cai Yinong's brain. Is he flooded?

It was obvious that the people of Tang Dynasty were the first to cause trouble. They were pushing on this and pushing on that. Now they couldn’t stand it anymore? What have you been doing!

"Director Lin, Director Xue has set the start-up time in mid-January, after the Nortel exam ends."

Lin Nan nodded. Xue Xiaolu was different from other professors. She really wanted to lead the class. It was very reasonable to choose to turn on the computer at that time.

"In addition, Director Xue said that she chose Vancouver and Seattle as the filming locations for this time. 90% of the scenes were shot in these two cities."

"Okay, this crew also traveled abroad, which was interesting."

Lin Nan didn't have any objections to this. He thought of business again.

“Let’s start working on the budget for The Gunslinger.”

Yue Jun was stunned for a moment and asked a very important question.

"Are your and Yifei's remuneration included?"

"Need not."

"Well, then I understand."

…………

As for the filming location, Lin Nan finally chose to let Yang Shoucheng help arrange it.

On Hong Kong Island, with Ying Huang's energy, there is absolutely no problem in finding a school for filming.

Having made up his mind, Lin Nan dialed the phone and went out.

Yang Shoucheng was listening to reports from several senior officials.

This year, Yinghuang's income will be as good as other areas, but it will suffer a bit heavy losses from movies.

Movies lose more money than they make, and the copyrights can't make up for it.

The phone suddenly lit up, attracting Yang Shoucheng's attention. His originally angry expression softened a bit after seeing the caller ID.

"Pause for a moment, let me take a call."

Huo Wenxi and others looked at each other and became quiet.

"Hello, Director Lin?"

"Director Yang, my new movie will be shot on Hong Kong Island, and I would like to ask you to help me find a place."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shoucheng's eyes lit up and he turned on the external voice.

"It's easy to tell. What are Director Lin's requirements for the shooting location?"

"I want a high school as a shooting location, and I also want an SAT test center on Hong Kong Island. As Mr. Yang knows, my new movie is called "Genius Gunman"."

Hearing Lin Nan's words on the phone, not only Yang Shoucheng was stunned for a moment, Huo Wenxi and others were even more stunned.

"Okay, no problem, leave it to Ying Huang. When Director Lin comes to Hong Kong, I will host a banquet for the crew."

"Thanks."

…

After hanging up the phone, Yang Shoucheng smiled.

"You heard me, send someone to prepare."

"Okay, Director Yang."

Huo Wenxi was still a little shocked:

"No wonder the film bureau rejected Director Lin's script because he still passed the college entrance examination, which is just the American college entrance examination.

According to the custom in the mainland, we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go..."

"Well, it's a good thing that he can open his mouth to me. Firstly, it shows that he is confident that the script will pass the review. Secondly, it also deepens the relationship with us and adds a personal connection."

Yang Shoucheng waved his hand, feeling very good now.

"By the way, the actors in Director Lin's new movie?"

Huo Wenxi couldn't help but mention it.

"Don't think about it, there's a good chance it won't work. He doesn't like to owe favors. If there was a chance, he would have said it on the phone just now. But that's okay..."

Yang Shoucheng saw it very clearly and was not anxious at all. In the circle, favors will be repaid sooner or later, and Lin Nan's favors are very valuable.

…………

Lin Nan had no idea about the male lead in "Genius Gunslinger". This time he just wanted to be a director.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin are not scheduled. The key is that they are too old and are not considered by Lin Nan.

Suddenly, Lin Nan had a choice in mind.

"Since the characters in the play are all classmates, then there are some of them!"

"Well, the good news doesn't go to outsiders. You can't call me "Dad" this time, haha..."
