That year Huayu

Chapter 536 Five Hundred Acres of Corn

Movies in August, especially domestic movies, are all eagerly watched.

"Time Traveler" directed by Guo Fan can be said to have attracted much attention in the industry.

This movie will also take the lead and will be officially released on the 1st.

Then came popular domestic films such as "A Romantic Affair", "One Night of Surprise", and "Tiny Times 2".

Among them, the low-cost "Youth Party" has attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.

Because many well-known actors and first-line stars are posting on Weibo to help advertise and recommend this movie.

Everyone on the Internet is confused. It's not a big-budget movie, and the lead actor has never even heard of it. Why are there so many celebrities helping to promote it?

Immediately, someone posted a post on the Internet to popularize the science.

The male protagonist of "Youth Party" is the son of Wang Jinghua, the top manager in the entertainment industry.

Now netizens suddenly realized.

He is the leading actor in a movie right after his debut, and he is also supported by the movie queen Qin Hailu. It is indeed the configuration of a second-generation star!

"At first, I recommended Zijian to Director Lin, but unfortunately I never got the chance. When a suitable role comes up in the future, I will definitely let him audition..."

Invitations to the premiere of "Youth Party" have been sent to Lin Nan Pictures. Not only that, Wang Jinghua also called specifically to say hello.

Lin Nan felt that the top manager in the entertainment industry should have used all his personal resources this time.

After all, he was paving the way for his son, so of course he had to spare no effort.

"Director Lin, the flight tickets have been booked and we will leave tomorrow morning."

The assistant came over to report to Lin Nanhui. He nodded, "I understand."

The mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated. A call came in. It was from Wang Changtian.

"Director Wang, what's the matter on the phone?"

"What's the situation with that movie "Escape"?"

Wang Changtian's straightforward question made Lin Nan stunned for a moment.

"How do you know?" he asked subconsciously.

"How do I know? Almost everyone in the industry knows about it now. Chen Jinfei and his people are looking for partners for this movie, especially big-name actresses. I just met them this morning."

Having said this, Wang Changtian paused:

"But there are rumors that you and Yifei rejected this Sino-US co-production?"

Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this for a while. If you say it directly now, it will most likely affect Chen Jinfei, right?

"Director Wang called to ask about this?"

"Yes. It stands to reason that co-productions are very tempting, but after being deceived too many times, everyone will learn from it. If a good project can reach the stage of actively soliciting investment, can it be the turn of outsiders to pick up the slack?

China Film and Wanda's "Man of Tai Chi" just died, and the body is still there. With an investment of 150 million, the box office is only 20 million. I am so frustrated! "

Wang Changtian spoke eloquently and waited for Lin Nan's answer.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. After all, he and Lao Wang had a good relationship and were still allies.

"That's right, I rejected the investment and Yifei rejected the female lead.

As for the reason, it is what Director Wang said: How can a good project fail to attract investment for so many years? This is looking for someone to take advantage of someone who is stupid and has too much money. "

Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone was quiet for a moment, and his tone became decisive: "I understand, thank you this time. I will reject them this afternoon."

"Don't spread the word."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. I wish other companies would fall into this trap, haha..."

Lin Nan was happy. Wang Changtian's thoughts were so dark!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan couldn't help but order someone to inquire about the news.

He was very curious, what would be the attitude of the industry toward this co-production?

…………

"Blind Detective" starring Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen has been accepted by the audience after two weeks of word-of-mouth fermentation.

But by this time, it was really too late. It is impossible to increase the schedule of movies that have been cut back.

Other films currently being released cannot give it a chance to make a comeback.

In the film and television information of the media, "Blind Detective" has been reported in a coffin-like manner.

"Influenced by "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "Blind Detective" was released for two weeks, with a total box office of 200 million, and the daily box office dropped to 400,000, with no hope of recovering the money."

"Andy Lau apologizes to the crew of "Blind Detective" and will choose scripts more carefully in the future."

"A few months after the filming of "Transformers 4" started, mainland actor Han Geng joined the cast as a guest star..."

…………

China Film.

Han Sanping looked at the information in front of him without any emotion.

"Director Han, we can only do this kind of big co-production project well if China Film Group takes the lead..."

No matter what the person opposite said, Han Sanping remained unmoved, "Tai Chi Man" had just slapped him in the face.

There are only two months left. If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, it will be better.

"China Film Group has no such intention, at least there are no plans to co-produce films in the short term. You should look for other companies."

Han Sanping's cold rejection caught a group of people off guard. This was completely inconsistent with the former's previous style!

Until the secretary sent a few people out, they still couldn't accept it.

Bona had his own film project, but said he had limited funds and turned it down.

Hua Yi, who was committed to the cultural tourism town, also refused.

Someone from Guangguang called and said that their director, Wang, would not consider co-producing a film for the time being, which was exactly the same as Wanda Ye Ning's reply.

I originally thought that Han Sanping, who has always been generous, would take over, but who knew that he would unexpectedly say no!

The attitude of these giant companies will completely have a "leader effect" in the industry, and other companies will not participate.

"Mr. Chen, it's hard to hire several top-notch actresses, and their schedules are very full. The most important thing is that we can't find a big company to participate, so we can't bring this project forward."

Some people have already begun to back down. They looked at Chen Jinfei and complained a little. Did they say they could handle Lin Nan?

"It has spread in circles that this project was rejected by Lin Nan..."

Someone read the message on the phone and said coldly. Now everyone understood immediately, maybe this is the problem?

"Otherwise, forget it. We'll cooperate next time if we have a chance..."

There is one more person who has retreated.

In just half an hour, people's hearts were completely shattered.

Looking at his partners who parted ways and got into the car, Chen Jinfei's face became even more gloomy.

"Mr. Chen, there is a dinner tonight for people from the film and television industry. Do you still want to go?" the assistant reminded.

"Go, why not go, we also want to sign people."

…………

Liu Yifei stuffed Lin Nan's passport into the suitcase, which was regarded as helping to pack the luggage.

"Tomorrow morning, I will get up early to take you to the airport."

She put her hands on her hips, looked at Lin Nan who was answering the phone, and said confidently.

Lin Nan smiled back and continued to listen to Yue Jun's reply.

"This is the situation. I don't know who spread the news. They say that Director Lin thought it was a big bad movie.

So not only did you not invest, you also didn’t let Yifei participate in the show. As a result, no one in the circle is willing to touch it now. Judging from the situation, it is probably stillborn. "

"Yes, I understand. I will be out of the country for the next two days, so I will leave some company matters to you."

"OK."

Lin Nan felt very warm looking at Liu Yifei who was like a housekeeper.

"Mr. Chen's "Escape" seems to be going away. It's good to save him from losing money."

Liu Yifei did not answer, but looked at Lin Nan and asked: "How many days are you going to go this time?"

"I don't know, maybe a day or two, maybe a week. But if everything goes well, I will bring you a gift when I come back."

Lin Nan pointedly said that as for the size of the gift, it would depend on the outcome of his trip.

"Oh, then come back early after you finish your business. Remember, except for work, stay away from Leonardo!"

With a smile on her face, Miss Liu straightened Lin Nan's collar, but her tone of voice did not allow for refutation.

"Haha, I will never fool around with him."

"Um?"

"Ah, stay away from him!" Lin Nan quickly changed his mind.

The latest news about Leonardo DiCaprio has spread to China. On the beach, one person took seven or eight bikini girls...

The next day.

Liu Yifei kept her promise and got up early at nine o'clock.

Sometimes, Lin Nan buys an 11 o'clock ticket just to take care of her.

Ms. Liu drove herself and drove Lin Nan towards the airport. The assistant was already waiting there.

The media reporters all seemed to have dog noses and were extremely sensitive.

Liu Yifei had just parked her car outside the airport, and within a moment she was being targeted.

Although I didn’t get close, I definitely captured a lot of photos.

Miss Liu nuzzled into Lin Nan's arms like a cat, then reluctantly left, "Come back soon."

"You'd better go back quickly and sleep in your cage. You've been yawning." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Well, you go in first and I'll leave."

"good."

Lin Nan walked towards the departure hall with his assistant and waved to the reporters in the distance.

It wasn't until she was out of sight that Ms. Liu put on her sunglasses and got into the car.

…………

"Director Lin Nan left for Hollywood again this morning. The purpose of this trip is unknown."

"Liu Yifei dressed casually and personally drove Director Lin to the airport..."

"The photo of the two hugging each other looks lazy and peaceful."

Many insiders and netizens saw the news reports and went to Liu Yifei's Weibo to ask.

"Big producer, what is your director Lin going to do this time?"

"Why didn't Yifei come along?"

"The premiere is waiting for you to attend, so don't miss one."

…

"He went to work on the movie, The Invisible Guest."

After Ms. Liu gave a unified reply, she stopped caring.

In the past, every time Lin Nan went to Hollywood, there would always be some big news.

After seeing Liu Yifei's reply, people in the industry were reassured. They didn't have to worry about being shocked again this time.

During the 12-hour flight, Lin Nan was used to either reading newspapers or sleeping.

When the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.

Lin Nan was reading the news as he left the airport. The domestic scene was quite interesting.

Guo Jingming shouted the slogan on Weibo that "Tiny Times 2" should make up for the regrets of "Tiny Times 1".

Not only will the box office revenue exceed 500 million, but it will also dominate domestic films in August.

This tone is so inconsistent with his small body, so funny!

"Lin, here." It was Tom's familiar figure, and there were two cars.

"Let's go." Lin Nan motioned to the assistant.

After getting in the car, Tom started talking non-stop.

"Warner takes this movie very seriously, and you don't even know what Nolan did."

"What's wrong?" Lin Nan was also a little curious.

"I heard that he went to farm a year in advance for certain shots and planted five hundred acres of corn."

Tom said incredulously, he couldn't understand this operation.

But hearing these words made Lin Nan feel extremely comfortable.

"Haha, five hundred acres of corn sounds like a lot, but it's not as expensive as a few special effects shots, and it looks real when shot!"

"Huh? Well, you are both directors and have the same ideas.

By the way, Lin, I told him your itinerary. When are you going to meet him? asked Tom.

"Send me back to Beverly Hills first, and I'll contact him myself."

"good."

…

The paparazzi here in Hollywood are also the best.

In less than two hours, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt, James Wan and others knew that he had come to Hollywood.

"Lin, I will fly back to Hollywood this afternoon, and there will be a cocktail party in the evening. See you then."

"No problem, Director Christopher."

Lin Nan originally thought that Nolan was in Hollywood, but he didn't expect that he was still in London at this moment.

"In fact, there are many actors interested in this movie. But you know, in front of Warner and Nolan, they are just actors."

Tom said calmly that Hollywood is a hierarchical place.

Movie giants and top directors like Nolan can easily manipulate actors, even if you are a superstar.

Unless, like Leonardo, he has his own company, which can guarantee the box office all year round and allow all producers to keep extending olive branches.

…

At noon, Lin Nan ate in the villa or had a meal delivered outside.

Several calls from acquaintances came in one by one.

"Lin, when did you and Nolan make an appointment to meet?" Leonardo really knew.

"Drinking party tonight. How did you know?"

"Of course I heard about it from Nolan. You sent him an email. In addition, Matthew is the leading actor in that movie. He has just been cast, although it has not been made public yet."

"Matthew McConaughey." Lin Nan thought subconsciously.

"Yes, when we were filming "Hunting", I recommended him and Matt to you, and finally you chose Matt. He was really lucky..."

"Want to come together tonight?"

"Of course, see you tonight."

…………

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan changed into a suit.

Tom also dressed like a dog and drove Lin Nan directly to the reception.

As for Crystal Pictures' Fat Tom, many people in Hollywood are familiar with him.

As for Lin Nan, the Golden Lion director, even more people know about it.

"Lin, long time no see."

Nolan, dressed as a gentleman, walked over and hugged Lin Nan.

"Director Christopher, long time no see." Lin Nan also expressed enthusiasm.
