That year Huayu

"Director Lin, my movie "Hello! Mr. Tree" will be released on the 4th of next month. If you are available then, please correct me and correct me..."

Lin Nan was quite surprised to receive a call from Wang Baoqiang.

"Yeah, sure. By the way, congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award and being nominated next month..."

"Hahaha, thank you, Director Lin, for lending me your kind words."

Although Wang Baoqiang's film did not win the best actor award at the Shanghai Film Festival, it recently won the best actor award at the Vladivostok International Film Festival.

It seems that he has been shortlisted for Best Actor at the Asia Pacific Film Festival in the past two days. He can be called an inspirational model for grassroots actors!

In fact, Wang Baoqiang's biggest advantage is his attitude. He always puts himself very low. Unlike other actors, who are more or less a little arrogant after becoming famous...

Nortel graduates many students every year, but very few receive widespread media attention, and most of them are actors.

Among the group of people who will graduate in the first half of next year, the most eye-catching ones are not the actors, but the two "directors"!

"Director Guo Fan has officially entered the postgraduate graduation process."

"It is reported that director Guo Fan is not a graduate student in directing, but a graduate of the School of Management, and is not involved in the filming of the graduation drama."

"The content of his graduation work is taken from the new film "Passengers" directed by Lin Nan."

…

If Guo Fan is a non-directing "director" who is about to graduate, then the other one is a "parallel import director" who has repeated grades for three years!

"Nortel's official website announced that Zhao Yanzi, a Master of Arts in Directing in 2006, has entered the graduation process normally..."

"After Zhao Yanzi applied for deferment of graduation for three consecutive years, he decided not to defer it again!"

…

The Internet is full of news about Zhao Yanzi.

A large number of media rushed to Nortel and tried to contact Zhao Yanzi himself, and finally got an accurate answer. The repeater was ready to graduate.

"I almost forgot about this one. She seems to be a graduate student in the same class as Director Lin Nan, right?"

"I remember correctly, Director Lin's graduation drama that year was "Hunting"!"

"I only remember Director Lin confessing his love on the awards stage, and Liu Yifei bursting into tears in the audience..."

"Director Lin's golden lion was taken away by Liu Yifei before she could warm it up, but Liu Yifei reached out and grabbed it "arrogantly"..."

…

Lin Nan had never seen this kind of operation before. A student who repeated a grade just graduated and held a media conference!

"I've learned a lot!"

Zhao Yanzi's instructor is also very powerful, and he actually let this guy hold a press conference in the school's small auditorium.

There were quite a few celebrities who came back to school to show their support, and many teachers from the acting and directing departments were also guests.

However, when asked by the media about the type of graduation drama, this person was silent for a moment and did not know anything about it, claiming that it needed to be kept confidential.

"Director Lin Nan, who is a graduate student at the same level as you, is a top director in the industry. His graduation drama that year even won the Golden Lion Award and the Volpi Cup Award for Best Actor.

Do you think your graduation work can be compared with Director Lin's "Hunting"? "

When the reporter asked this question, not only Zhao Yanzi looked confused, but even her mentor was speechless for a moment.

It's a bit embarrassing to ask this question in this situation...

"To be honest, I think I can't compare. Before Director Lin won the Golden Lion, he already won two Silver Bears for Best Director. I know myself..."

"Director Guo Ban will also graduate in the first half of next year. He has already directed the science fiction film "Source Code" and served as the assistant director of "Rogue" and "Passengers". How do you compare with him?"

As soon as Zhao Yanzi finished answering one question, he was immediately asked another.

At this time, her face was very gloomy, but she still forced to keep smiling:

"Director Guo's "Source Code" has a very good reputation and has more experience than me. I will learn from him..."

…

A media meeting turned into a press conference to compare and admit defeat, which made both teachers and students Zhao Yanzi very uncomfortable.

"Old Tian, ​​why do I see you so gloating about misfortune?"

"Really? Don't worry too much. I can only say that you are a very unlucky student. There is Lin Nan in the same class, and you have delayed your graduation and bumped into Guo Fan..."

At this point, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what movie is she filming?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Yanzi's tutor was a little confused, "Youth campus theme..."

Tian Zhuangxu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Even if this kind of movie has a high box office, it is still at the bottom of the movie circle's contempt chain, because it has no grade and relies entirely on selling emotions.

Let me ask, who doesn’t recall the past? Who has no regrets about youth! This kind of movie is very difficult.

…………

Lin Nan continued to perfect the script in the company when he saw Yue Jun knocking on the door and coming in.

"Director Lin, Zhang Weiping actually called and asked."

"Explain it to him clearly." Lin Nan was very interested.

"I told him. Director Lin, you have promised that as long as he takes the lead, we will support him."

"Then what did he say?"

"He was silent for a minute or two, and then said that this was for the benefit of all production companies. He hoped that we would keep our promises and not add insult to injury..."

Lin Nan nodded, which was in line with his understanding of Zhang Weiping.

Although this guy is sometimes arrogant and likes to shoot off, he can still give in and speak softly in order to achieve his goal.

"But it's quite miraculous that Zhang Weiping's organization didn't spread in the circle." Yue Jun clicked his tongue in surprise.

"It's easy to understand. Production companies are naturally on the opposite side of theaters.

Even if you don’t want to follow Zhang Weiping, you definitely want Zhang Weiping to succeed in your heart, and of course you won’t say anything nonsense..."

Speaking of this, Lin Nan was looking forward to it, but she didn't know when Zhang Weiping would take action. I thought it would be exciting when it came.

…

New screen here.

Zhang Weiping looked serious and confident. He was very experienced in increasing the share ratio.

With "Hero", he forced theaters to increase the film studio's share ratio from 38% to 40%.

Later, with "House of Flying Daggers", the 40% became 41%.

Although the film studio can now get 43%, he still feels that it is not enough and it can be higher!

After a round of phone calls, as Zhang Weiping expected, some major production companies agreed to support, but they all wanted him to take the lead.

"Haha, a bunch of timid guys who do big things without sacrificing their own lives, what can they accomplish? They can only be supporting roles..."

At this moment, Zhang Weiping was very imposing. He took the lead and everyone else just had to follow.

"It's different now than it was nine years ago..."

Zhang Weiping was a little irritable after hearing Zhang Yimou's words.

"We are under great pressure to repay the capital. The higher the box office, the extra point may be hundreds or even tens of millions."

In the office, Zhang Weiping's voice was cold and impatient.

After filming "Thirteen Hairpins", the two of them already felt like strangers.

"I hope to transfer Ni Nai's contract to my studio..."

Before Zhang Yimou could finish his words, he was interrupted sharply by Zhang Weiping.

"Impossible, she is the heroine of "Thirteen Hairpins" and can only stay in the new scene..."

Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping with a sullen expression, and really felt that this old partner in front of him was a bit strange.

Before Zhang Yimou could continue to speak, Zhang Weiping turned his army around.

"Zhou Dongyu signed up in your studio, which is also a free space. I think it is better to transfer to the company to facilitate management and arrangement of announcements."

The two of them froze for a moment, and Zhang Yimou shook his head, "No, she's fine now. She's taking on dramas while going to school..."

Zhang Weiping saw Zhang Yimou's firm refusal and immediately stopped forcing him, but he did not give up.

These girls are still in the company's hands, so he can rest assured...

After Zhang Yimou left the office, Zhang Weiping turned on the computer.

There was a half-written manuscript that he continued to edit: "Bell and I..."

…………

Feng Xiaogang's "1942" has started shooting.

It was previously blocked by the film bureau for review, and the original author finally made fine adjustments to the script.

Some particularly uncomfortable scenes have been turned into cryptic descriptions.

It seems that Feng Xiaogang himself also had some premonitions, and even posted a special post on Weibo:

"This may be the most serious time I have taken in all these years of filming. I hope I will live up to it and it will live up to me..."

When the cast of "1942" was announced, the attention of the film industry was attracted.

Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanzhuo...

What a complete cast of all-star actors!

Only then did people in the industry understand. No wonder Feng Xiaogang said this was the most serious time he had ever taken!

Lin Nan suddenly remembered something and forgot who said it.

That is to say: every great director must have at least one most sincere movie in his life, a movie made without utilitarianism.

Maybe "1942" is Feng Xiaogang's movie.

…………

Lin Nan left the company and when he went back, he happened to bump into Liu Yifei driving back.

"Help me move the cage out of the trunk. I'll park the car first."

Miss Liu stopped the car next to Lin Nan, raised her head and said. The face under the sunglasses has a hint of sweetness.

"Oh well."

In a cage, three cats lay quietly. They looked at Lin Nan with tears in their eyes.

"Where did this go?"

When Lin Nan asked for the exit, Miss Liu's car had already entered the basement.

Five minutes later, Liu Yifei came out with her bag.

"Where did you take them? Why do they look so wilted?"

"you guess."

Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan with a smile and winked at him, very naughty.

"I couldn't guess. I usually help them shovel their poop and feed them. How would I know."

Liu Yifei couldn't stop laughing after hearing Lin Nan's words.

She leaned close to Lin Nan's ear and whispered:

"I took them to the pet hospital for a minor surgery, hahaha..."

"hiss……"

At this moment, Lin Nan felt a little cold.

He looked at the three poor little guys in the cage. They were so pitiful. They would be sisters from now on.

"Sissi, are you too cruel?" Lin Nan couldn't help but say.

"Humph, what do you know? The pet doctor said this is for their own good. In a while, there will be a few more left. Then you come with me!"

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan jokingly, looking very arrogant.
