Chapter 96 Lin Changquan

Lin Changquan is one of the most famous Chinese directors, internationally renowned, and the only Chinese director who has won the Academy Award for Best Director.The films he shot in the early days are emotionally delicate, timeless and smooth. Through the lens, those parents' short stories are turned into a trickle, reaching the bottom of the audience's heart, and gently touching the heartstrings about home.

The most commendable thing is that Lin Changquan did not stop at those family ethics films, but bravely challenged himself, made famous novels, gay films, and even tried commercial blockbusters.His lens language has also been changing all the time. It has never been brilliant or even called a general composition. It has improved to the ability to take screenshots as wallpapers. He never stops learning and exploring. This is this old man who is over half a century old. The reason why it is firmly at the pinnacle of Chinese directors.

If Hua Guo actors were asked to make a list of the directors they most want to work with, Lin Changquan would definitely rank among the top three.Therefore, when meeting visiting Lin Changquan in the backstage lounge of the Jim Show, Fei Ran was both happy and excited. If he hadn’t experienced a lot of wind and waves, he really wanted to rush out and run around the ABC headquarters ten or eight laps.

"Didn't bother you?" Lin Changquan asked with a smile.

"No! If I knew that you were here, Director Lin, I would definitely take the initiative to visit you!" Feiran quickly took the tea brought by Lin Zhu, and handed it to Lin Changquan respectfully.

Lin Changquan took the cup, took a sip, then gently put it on the small coffee table aside, and said to Feiran: "Don't be so restrained, I also heard from the staff that this time it's you and me on the Jim show, thinking about the election day It's better to come directly to the door when you hit the sun. But this is not a good place to talk about things. Are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together and have a good talk. "

Discuss!Have a meal!Happiness came so suddenly that Feiran almost lost control of his expression. Fortunately, he managed to hold back Feiyang's emotions in time, and replied politely and thoughtfully: "Of course no problem." He made an appointment with the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Vague" magazine, the famous fashion devil dinner?what is that?Can I eat it?

Maintaining such a high mood, Feiran hardly knew what he and Shirley Clive said on the Jim show. Fortunately, seeing Jim's reaction, he didn't seem to notice his absent-mindedness, but was quite satisfied with the effect of the show.

After the recording of the show, Feiran ignored Shirley who seemed to want to say something to him, said "sorry" and rushed back to the lounge to remove her make-up and change clothes, and then rushed to the restaurant she had made an appointment with Lin Changquan alone.

After enjoying the delicious food, Lin Changquan ordered a parfait, and while scooping out the ice cream carefully, he said to Feiran: "I recently read a novel, "The Silent Walk" written by Mr. Chen Ji, have you read it? "

If it is an ordinary person, they probably don't know who Chen Ji is, but actors in Huaguo are basically familiar with this name.As a very famous writer in modern China, Chen Ji's novels have been adapted into film and television dramas several times, each of which can be called a classic.However, it does not include this novel called "The Silent Walk".

Fei Ran shook his head honestly: "No, I have only read "Wind Words", "Silence", "Shadow" and "Frenzy" in Mr. Chen's novels." These novels have been adapted into TV series, which are very classic spy stories war film.

Lin Changquan nodded: "These books are all novels, and "The Silence" is a short story, not long. I have already bought the copyright with Mr. Chen, and I plan to put it on the big screen. I hope you will play the leading role .”

coming!Lin Changquan's movie!Invite him to be the hero!To paraphrase a popular Internet idiom, Feiran now very much wants to "perform a death on the spot".Trying to suppress the soul that was about to ascend, Feiran solemnly said: "Thank you for choosing me, I will work hard."

Lin Changquan took out a thin book from his pocket and handed it to Feiran: "This is the original book, you should read it first and figure out the characters. Ask your agent to contact me to discuss signing the contract. If there is no accident , the film should start filming in mainland China around March, is your schedule okay?"

Holding the book in his hands, Fei Ran shook his head like a rattle: "No, after I finished filming "Tomorrow", the schedule has been empty."

Lin Changquan smiled: "Speaking of "Tomorrow", I would like to ask, the friend of the heroine..."

After discussing about starring in "The Silent Walk", Fei Ran and Lin Changquan talked about each other's movies, and they had a very enjoyable chat.By the time he drifted back to the hotel and remembered that he should tell Ding Zan about this matter, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Ding Zan, who received the call from Fei Ran, looked at his watch suspiciously: "It should be three o'clock in the morning in New York, right? What are you messing about while you're still awake? How was your conversation with the editor-in-chief of "Vague" at night?"

"Oh, I didn't go." Feiran happily replied while flipping through the novel.

"You didn't... what did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"I didn't have dinner with the editor-in-chief of "Vague" tonight." Before Ding Zan got angry, Fei Ran said hastily, "But I called her, explained the situation, and made a new appointment with her. She is very nice. Yes, not angry."

"Nice person... Do you know who that is? That's the fashion devil Annice Winston! The editor-in-chief of "Vague"! If you offend her, you can bid farewell to all fashion circle resources, Kitony's global spokesperson Do you still want it!"

Since serving as the spokesperson of Kitony in the Asia-Pacific region, Feiran has enjoyed cooperation with this world's top men's clothing brand, and the contract has been changed from one year to three years.In the middle of this year, due to his age, Adam Fox voluntarily terminated his global endorsement contract with Kitony.The Hollywood superstar, who won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement last year, had the intention of retiring, and after the contract with Kitony expired, he refused the brand's request to renew the contract, and embarked on a global travel itinerary with his wife.

Ding Zan has been actively operating after learning that the position of Kitony's global spokesperson is vacant.Although there is no such person before, Fei Ran is the spokesperson of the Asia-Pacific region after all. As a platform close to the water, he still has an advantage over others.

But at this critical juncture, the artist actually dropped the chain for himself!If it weren't for the distance, Ding Zan would have rushed up and pinched his neck and shook his head to see if his mind was filled with the water he sucked up while flying over the Pacific Ocean!

Hearing the manager's frantic voice, the old god Feiran waited for him to finish his yelling, and then said slowly: "Then if I tell you, I turned down the dinner with Annis Winston, and I'm going to What about Lin Changquan's appointment?"

"Who?" Ding Zan was stunned.

"Lin Changquan."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "...is that Lin Changquan I know?"

"Otherwise? Is there any Lin Changquan in this world who is worthy of my rejection of Annis Winston's dinner invitation?" Fei Ran proudly said.

"...I'll be right over." After hanging up the phone, Ding Zan looked at the scripts in his hand that had been carefully selected for several months and sighed, and called his assistant in through the internal line, "Take these scripts and let them Choose by yourself, contact any artist you think is suitable for you, and help me book the nearest flight to New York by the way.”

By the time Ding Zan rushed to New York, it was already the night of the second day.Ding Zan couldn't wait to knock on Fei Ran's door after he asked someone to bring his luggage to his room without taking a break.

Lin Zhu who opened the door was not surprised by Ding Zan's appearance, and calmly nodded, "Brother Ding."

"Where's Feiran?" Ding Zan, who didn't see Feiran in the living room, thought he was asleep, asked in a low voice.

"I'm reading a novel in his room. I read it all night yesterday, and woke up to read it after less than five hours of sleep. He didn't listen to the persuasion, saying that his mind was full of the plot of the novel, and he couldn't sleep well." In the end, he still hated her. Annoyed, hide in the room to watch... Lin Zhu said a little angrily.She's not thinking about his body!

Ding Zan, who probably understood what was going on, patted Lin Zhu on the shoulder, walked to the door of Feiran's bedroom, and knocked on the door: "Feiran, it's me."

After a few seconds, the door opened.Feiran looked at Ding Zan with his panda eyes, wiped his face, and said without a trace: "Brother Ding, I regret accepting this drama..."

Ding Zan's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? Is the script bad?"

Fei Ran shook his head: "The script is still being written, Director Lin let me read the original novel first, to familiarize myself with the characters."

"That's a novel, can't it? Whose novel?"

Fei Ran still shook his head and said, "The novel is very exciting, I finished it in one sitting last night. The quality of Mr. Chen Ji's novel is not to mention."

"What's the matter?" Chen Ji and Lin Changquan, such a powerful combination, is not much worse than the "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" in which Lin Changquan won the Oscar for Best Director.Is it because of the subject matter?It is true that Chen Ji's novels are basically about the battlefields of Huaguo during World War II. This kind of subject matter is unlikely to be nominated for an Oscar, but Fei Ran has never been so award-conscious?

Feiran wiped his face and handed the novel to Ding Zan: "You will know after reading it."

"Silence" tells the story of when the Shanghai stock market was occupied by the Japanese army, a military command agent sneaked into the Wang puppet regime, successfully stole countless information, helped the KMT and the Communist Party win the front-line victory, and even wiped out the Japanese army's spy network lurking in China. Destroyed.The agent named Mo Xing was suspected by the enemy several times during the lurking period, but he was cleared of the suspicion with almost perfect evidence.It wasn't until the end of the novel that the author revealed the truth——

It turns out that Mo Xing is not one person, but two people.He looks like a double agent of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but he is actually a pair of twins who were separated when they were young. The elder brother remarried with his mother and became the adopted son of the biggest gang leader in Shanghai; the younger brother lived with his father and died when his father died. Later joined the Red Army.During the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, one of the brothers was in the open and the other was in the dark. One stole information, and the other appeared in public to create an alibi.

As for the fact that Mo Xing is a twin, except for the top leaders of the intelligence agencies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, no one else knows about it, and even his brother's wife is kept in the dark.The brothers lived under one roof for five years without anyone noticing.

The entire novel did not reveal the slightest bit of Mo Xing being twins in the previous article, but only used the nuances in the description of Mo Xing to make readers who saw the ending suddenly realize when they looked for clues in turn.Moreover, Chen Ji is very ingenious in the setting of the plot. The evidence that the two brothers testify for each other is not perfect. On the contrary, if it goes well, it is feasible to steal the information and rush to other places immediately, which always restricts the readers. It is within the frame of one's mind.

The novel "Mental Walk" is not long, but the plot is full of climaxes and clues are dense. It is the kind of novel that catches people's attention after reading it, and does not stop until the end.After being made into a movie by a director of Lin Changquan's level, one can imagine how wonderful it will be.

Ding Zan returned to his room with the novel, and after a night's rest, he spent a whole day reading the entire novel.When returning the novel to Fei Ran, Ding Zan patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I know what you are worried about, but the scene I took on has to be finished while kneeling. I have already made an appointment with Lin Changquan, and I will meet with you tomorrow. He met to discuss the contract, and we will return to China after signing the contract. I personally suggest that you don't hide it, anyway, he will get used to it sooner or later."

Feiran watched his manager leave, and looked at the novel in his hand wanting to cry without tears.

As an important plot to distinguish the two brothers, the novel focuses on two bed affairs between Mo Xing and his wife.That is to say, not only did Fei Ran have to film a large-scale sex scene in a vacuum, but he also had to act in two scenes with subtle differences, so that the audience could feel that they were two people afterward; but the difference could not be too big, In order not to make the audience think that brother's wife is an idiot, it is so obvious that they can't realize that the person who is making trouble with her is not her husband...
