That year Huayu

"Classmate Tang Yan."

Lin Nan got out of the car and shouted.

Lin Nan felt embarrassed when a girl was waiting for him here in the middle of summer.

"Director Lin, Yawen."

The light green long skirt has a few pink lotus flowers and a belt. It looks very stylish for her height.

Zhu Yawen was surprised when she saw Tang Yan and didn't know what Lin Nan was going to do.

"Director Lin, come with me, Teacher Li should be here right now."

"Teacher Li?" Zhu Yawen asked doubtfully.

"Teacher Li Baotian." Lin Nan explained.

Director Tian Zhuangzhuang was not available, but Lin Nan could finalize the actor first, and the actor he found for the male protagonist Ma Youtie was Li Baotian.

This can be said to be a real actor. He was admitted to the directing training class of the School of Drama in 1978 and started teaching at the school in 1981.

In 1991, Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" was filmed. In 1995, it was still Zhang Yimou's movie. In the same year, there was also the hit "Liu Luo Guo". His acting skills are superb and sophisticated, nothing to say.

He is the only actor who has collaborated with Zhang Yimou three times, and that was within six years.

There are not many pure actors, but this one is definitely one of them, and he deserves to be called an experienced actor, not the kind that comes from age.

Zhu Yawen went to other places to wander around, but he still knew a few people here, and they were no strangers either.

"Brother Li, this is Director Lin Nan from the Film School. He is here to see Teacher Li."

I didn't meet the real owner, but I did meet his son, Li Yu. He passed the Chinese Drama exam three times in six years and was level 00 in the Drama Academy. Although he was six or seven years older than Lin Nan and the others, he was only two grades older.

"Brother Li, I have a notebook that I would like to ask Teacher Li to read. I wonder if Teacher Li is here?"

Both father and son have low-key personalities, and Lin Nan also respects this kind of person.

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, my dad is here, I will take you to him."

It took Li Baotian six years to get his son admitted to his alma mater. It was obvious that he was a person who did not use backdoor methods.

When he saw Lin Nan, the veteran actor was not as serious as he expected, "I heard them talking about your show. It's very creative. Take a seat."

He is nearly sixty years old and looks to be in good health. His energy-raising skills are not comparable to those of a junior like Lin Nan.

"Teacher Li, I wrote a notebook with all my heart. I want to use it to win a prize. The only one the hero can think of is you."

Lin Nan said it very sincerely, Li Baotian is definitely suitable for the role of Ma Youtie.

"Oh, did you bring the script? I usually have to teach classes."

Li Baotian said this, but still waited for Lin Nan to open his backpack.

Li Yu poured two glasses of water over.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"You're welcome."

"This is the script, take a look." Lin Nan handed it over with both hands.

Li Baotian had already put on his glasses, ""Into the Dust"?"

The living room was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages, and from time to time, the sound of Lin Nan drinking water.

Li Baotian sat on the sofa and looked at it very carefully, as if he was thinking and integrating.

Li Yu squatted next to his father and stared at the script.

The script is light and the story is heavy.

"Good story, very profound script, I can take it."

Li Baotian calmed down and was obviously very satisfied with the script.

"Can you give me a role?"

At this time, Li Yu suddenly said.

Li Baotian glared at his son for a moment, but quickly recovered. It was time for him to pave the way for Li Yu.

Li Baotian looked at Lin Nan, obviously asking for advice.

"Brother Li Yu can try the role of Zhang Yongfu's son."

"Really?" Li Yu asked excitedly.

Lin Nan smiled and nodded.

Li Baotian didn't say anything, but there was a smile on his face.

"When are you going to turn it on?"

This question made Lin Nan feel a little embarrassed, "This script hasn't been submitted yet. I was originally going to ask director Tian Zhuangzhuang for help. You know that for scripts with this kind of realistic theme, it is usually difficult to get through the review process."

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed.

"Haha, it doesn't have to be like this. You are a commercial film director. Directors who have already achieved results are different from those who have no awards or box office. The above is also very realistic in this regard."

What Li Baotian said had some impact on Lin Nan's outlook on life. It meant that he had underestimated his position on the top, and was the top not as strict and fair as he thought?

Lin Nan was digesting Li Baotian's words, and he felt that he had to go to Han Sanping for consultation.

"Who are you looking for for the role of Cao Guiying?" Li Baotian asked at this time.

"This role is very important, and we must have someone who can take it." Li Baotian said very solemnly, already standing from the perspective of the entire drama.

"Gong Li is very suitable, but you probably can't invite her." Li Baotian muttered to himself, which really shocked Lin Nan.

"I originally wanted to invite Teacher Jiang Wenli, but she doesn't seem to be in school."

"Xiao Jiang? Well, she should be able to hold it." Li Baotian thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'll find her phone number for you. Although she's not in the same school, she still has contact information. You can talk to her yourself, but she seems to have an agency, but I think she can make the decision."

…

Tang Yan sent Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen out of the school, "Thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"I take it seriously, Director Lin."

"I never try to coax people."

"Are you done talking?" Zhu Yawen said unexpectedly as she walked into the gate of the film school.

"Okay, how do you know?"

"What Tang Yan told me was the book you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yawen knew in her heart that if Lin Nan could go directly to find an actor of Li Baotian's level, and the other party agreed, the book must be very good.

…

"Mr. Han, I, Lin Nan, have something to ask you."

Lin Nan was talking on the phone alone in the dormitory.

The result was similar to what Li Baotian said. Han Sanping was more direct and just asked Lin Nan to report it directly. As long as his position was not deviated, there would be no big problem. Even if he encountered a problem, he could just solve it.

Inevitably, he was asked whether he needed investment. Lin Nan postponed the decision and said that we would talk about it after October.

It was better to do it sooner rather than later. Lin Nan reported it that afternoon.

A stone finally fell from his heart. Looking at the phone call he received from Li Baotian, Lin Nan hesitated.

The normal process is to contact the agent for a movie invitation. I just call him directly. I don’t know if it’s a good fit.

The first phone rang for almost a minute but no one answered it. I don’t know why.

I was planning to wait ten minutes before calling, but the call came back in less than five minutes.

"Hey, Teacher Wen Li, I'm Lin Nan from the 02-level directing department of the Film Academy. Yes, that's me..."

During the half-hour phone call, Lin Nan almost explained the outline of the script. It was true that the place was not in the capital. He would come back in two days and made an appointment to read the script then.

The people who invested the most in this script were Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli, who had arranged to meet. The investment could not have exceeded 10 million, or even more than 5 million, and it was a rural drama, so it was even more economical.

Lin Nan still spent the two days in the dormitory typing on the keyboard. In the middle, he was forced to play football by several classmates. He was the goalkeeper and was shot through.

Amidst the condemnation, Lin Nan invited lunch, but he didn't go. Jiang Wenli called.

Many outstanding actors will choose to stay in school to teach after graduation, but if you want to find her in school, you will find that there is really only one name in school.

Although he is 18 years older than Lin Nan, he does not look older. His stunning appearance and acting skills in "The Manor" are impressive.

"Chinese-Style Divorce" is still on the air, and this guy's acting skills are hard to say.

"Hello, Teacher Wenli." The two met at a coffee shop outside the school, and one of them was the other person's assistant.

"Just call me sister." Jiang Wenli said with a smile and took the script.

There are many great directors, but few are manipulated by their wives. Director Gu is more lucky than unlucky after all when he marries this one.

After a long time, Jiang Wenli closed the script and said, "It's a very good book. Are you using it for prizes?"

Lin Nan was not surprised. The other party was an excellent actor and the wife of a great director, and her ability to judge scripts was definitely not weak.

"Yes, I want to use it to win a prize next year." Jiang Wenli didn't elaborate, and she didn't ask what the prize would be.

"Who plays Ma Youtie?"

"Teacher Li Baotian."

Jiang Wenli nodded, she had no other questions.

"Plan when to start and how long it will end. I need to reserve a schedule."

"We will start shooting in November and finish it in one month. I have a movie in October." Lin Nan explained.

"After the filming is completed, the editing is completed. It's just in time to register for the film festival, right?"

Jiang Wenli suddenly answered, leaving Lin Nan a bit unresponsive.

"Haha, that's what Sister Wen Li said."

"I accepted it, can I take this script with me?"

"sure."

As for the contract, we will make up for it later. Lin Nan could tell that Jiang Wenli liked this script very much. Every good actor doesn't like a good script.

After leaving the coffee shop, Lin Nan and Jiang Wenli separated.

"Fuck." Lin Nan found out that he was being photographed. This was the first time in a long time that a paparazzi took pictures of him. What could he do to take pictures?

As soon as this idea came up, Lin Nan realized that something was wrong. Don't be photographed just now in the cafe.

Jiang Wenli's car has already gone away.

Lin Nan took out his cell phone and called. Jiang Wenli said angrily that it was okay. As for whether something was okay, Lin Nan didn't know.

He just hoped that the paparazzi would stop writing nonsense.

However, he was still very happy that the protagonist of the movie was done. He needed to settle down in the next period. This movie is not a commercial film, so he had to be mentally prepared.

If I can't get the prize again, my grandma's family will really be in trouble.

I went back to school humming a little tune. The word "Dragon Fist" was still very passionate. Even during the Spring Festival Gala, there was no interaction between the stage and the audience. The people sitting in the audience were not as receptive as the children on the roadside.

The time is approaching, and the promotion of "House of Flying Daggers" is in full swing. Lao Mouzi is already a real hero. His movie has achieved great box office in North America. With the blessing of this era, he has already reached the altar.

"House of Flying Daggers" claims to break the record of "Heroes", and everyone in the industry agrees that the former is not inferior to the latter in terms of lineup.

The same martial arts movie, the same big production, Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi are in the limelight...

No one dares to say anything bad, and theaters are already gearing up to count their money.

In the later stage of "Return to Youth", Lin Nan didn't stare this time. People from China Film and Shanghai Film Group were watching, and Guang Guang also went to take a look from time to time. After all, they are all investors.

Lin Nan saw the new promotional poster for "House of Flying Daggers" at school. It features two male protagonists, one on the left and one on the right, with Zhang Ziyi in the middle.

Not mentioning that this is Zhang Yimou's new film, but only mentioning Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, the audience will be more willing to spend money to go to the cinema. This is a real problem.
