That year Huayu

After leaving China Film and on the way to the company, Lin Nan's cell phone was not idle.

Phone calls, text messages, voice messages, and chat messages all poured in.

At this time, Lin Nan realized belatedly that the circle was already full of gossip about him.

I don’t know how many people in the industry are already convinced that he will be the director of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall"!

Lin Nan couldn't guarantee that Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures would agree to his request.

But since he has made a promise to La Peikang, he will definitely read the script first and do what he should do.

As for how to make a decision in the future, whether to really take over "The Great Wall", it depends on the reply given to him by China Film.

After arriving at the company, Lin Nan went straight to the office, asked his assistant to help him prepare lunch, and then began to study the script.

…

The circle was indeed lively, and even several artists from Shanhai Media started discussing it in the small group.

"If Director Lin really wins the directorship of "The Great Wall", then wouldn't we be on the same level?"

"Zhang Yi, you definitely have a chance. After all, you have been on the crew of "The Martian" and "Pacific Rim". It's hard for us to say, it's very suspenseful."

Lei Jiayin said very unconfidently that there was less than half a year left in his contract. If he returned from the contract this time, Director Yue would probably talk to him, right?

"If you put it like that, I can't do anything about it. I've never been on a big film crew...and I don't know any foreign languages."

"I'm the same, I don't have enough stars, so I don't dare to ask for extravagant things. Even if there is a heroine, it must be sister Yifei!"

Reba was sitting in the rest area of ​​the "Search for the Dragon" crew, holding her mobile phone with a slight smile on her face.

"Reba, just hug your thighs. I can see that although you are the youngest, you have the widest road! Haha..."

Zhang Yi, a veteran, always makes jokes about Reba.

…

If anyone is the most excited at the moment, it should be Jingtian.

She really couldn't believe that what she was thinking was actually achieved;

In her eyes, Lin Nan is the most suitable director to direct the co-production of "The Great Wall". Apart from him, no one else is qualified.

If all goes well, this will be their second collaboration, after "The Martian"!

"I got accurate information. Lin Nan did go to see La Dong this morning and stayed in the office for nearly an hour. When he left, he was carrying a document bag. If I guessed correctly, it was "The Great Wall" "The script..."

Lu Zheng originally didn't want to say this, but after seeing Jing Tian's happy expression, he couldn't help but say it.

Sure enough, when he heard this, although Jing Tian didn't say anything, his brows became more excited and lively. It can be seen that she is very happy.

"Uncle Lu, nothing will happen to my character, right?"

Suddenly, Jing Tian looked at Lu Zheng and asked worriedly.

The latter was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Because the actual situation is that although they have connections and connections, La Peikang has not yet given an accurate answer.

"Nothing will happen. I will communicate with your family later and ask China Film to issue you a contract as soon as possible."

"Well, good. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Lu."

"Silly girl is so easy to coax, what should I do in the future..."

Looking at Jing Tian who was full of joy, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Sooner or later you have to walk your own path!

…………

Ten days after its release, Chen Kexin's "Dear" climbed to the 300 million box office mark, but its daily revenue has dropped below 1 million.

This is entirely caused by "Heart Blossoms on the Road" being too strong.

In fact, it is not just "Dear", but also several domestic films such as "Golden Age", "Ruffian Hero 2", "Quiba 3".

These movies have all been rubbed to the ground by "The Flower of the Heart", and the box office performance of each one is worse than the last.

670 million in 6 days!

"Beautiful Heart" powerfully told the entire film industry that Ning Hao will definitely be crowned the director of the 1 billion box office club!

Director Ning Da will be the fourth director in China to win this honor, and the third director in the billion-dollar box office club, because Lin Nan has soared into the 2 billion club.

"There's no need to eat. I'm still busy at the moment..."

Lin Nan was not surprised at all when Zhang Ziyi called.

After all, the big names in the industry are all taking action at the moment to get their share of the top cake in "The Great Wall".

And Zhang Ziyi has been "established" for so long, and the name of the International Chapter has long been unworthy of its name.

Now that I have seen the opportunity, how could I not seize it by any means? That will definitely rack your brains!

In the face of resources, big flowers are even more willing to sacrifice face... Lin Nan has already seen the invitations from Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others.

"Director Lin, are you busy? Is it about the movie? If you have plans for a new movie, you must consider me. The salary will not matter, haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "If you want to ask about "The Great Wall", I really don't have any news. You might as well wait for the notice from China Film Group. The auditions and castings haven't started yet. Well, in a short time, people in the industry are afraid You have to wait..."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Nan's final words, and then thanked him: "Thank you, Director Lin. Now I feel confident."

I didn't talk to Zhang Ziyi much. He told everyone who came to Lin Nan, including Huang Xiaoming, Huo Wenxi and others.

After closing the wrinkled script of "The Great Wall" that had been revised a lot by comments, Lin Nan stretched and decided to sit over Ning Hao's side.

He invested 25 million in "Heart Blossoms on the Road", and the profit recovered will be far more than 10 times. After all, the copyright was sold for 21.58 million US dollars!

"The scripts produced by Hollywood are so damn awkward! If you want to make this a success, even small changes won't solve the problem. You have to make major changes, you have to make magical changes!"

…………

The news that "Interstellar" has officially kicked off its promotion in Europe has spread back to China.

As a heroine, Liu Yifei has accepted many interviews.

However, there are a small number of questions related to Lin Nan and the competition for the film "Manchester by the Sea".

Ms. Liu knew everything and always expressed her position calmly and generously: Lin Nan will definitely bring "Manchester by the Sea" to the awards podium.

"Come, let's see how your producer Liu praises you in front of the foreign media. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Why, you're so envious? Sister, don't you always give Director Ning confidence at home? Look at his envious and jealous expression, it's so out of character."

As soon as they met, Lin Nan and Ning Hao started fighting each other. That's how it is between friends.

In the past two days, although the focus of the industry has been on "The Great Wall", it does not affect Ning Hao from enjoying the honor he deserves - the director of the nearly 1 billion box office club! Just wait for time.

"By the way, they say you are going to direct "The Great Wall". Is it already decided?"

Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Ning Hao asked carelessly.

Ning Hao, with his round hair, floral shirt, big gold chain, dark and rough complexion, and a fleshy face, is definitely a gangster at this moment!

"Nonsense, La Dong wants to drag me into trouble, but I haven't fully agreed yet."

"Damn it, your uncle, are you really going to make a movie worth 150 million US dollars? I'm so envious of you!"

Lin Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "How about I recommend you there?"

"Then forget it, I'm afraid of messing up. I'm not good at large-scale productions, and I have to deal with foreigners." Ning Hao decisively refused.

"It's the right thing not to touch him. I also gave La Dong face, and for the name 'Great Wall'... As for whether Legend and Universal will give him face, it's hard to say."

Lin Nan smacked his lips, picked up grapes from the fruit plate next to him, and started eating.

At this moment, Ning Hao and Xing Aina heard something, but did not ask.

Lin Nan came here just to relax. Reading the script of "The Great Wall" made him depressed and changing it gave him a headache.

No, rather than changing the script, it is better to say that it is rewriting "The Great Wall"!

Eating fruit and chatting, Ning Hao and his wife were about to increase their capital.

Huanxi's acquisition and change process is about to be completed. Ning Hao is the third largest shareholder and does not participate in Huanxi's operations. He only serves as an independent director. From now on, he will still be his bad monkey, making movies and advertising.

In fact, this is the best development model. If Huanxi does something immoral, he will get a lot less infamy.

…………

Liu Yifei is very well-informed. Even in Paris, everyone has heard about "The Great Wall".

When he called Lin Nan, he even asked.

"The script from Legendary Pictures is considered to be a great heroine. But in my eyes, the script is really bad."

"How bad?"

Liu Yifei's clear voice came, a little curious.

"To put it in general terms, foreigners come to our land to 'save the world' and pick up girls. They use real historical dynasty backgrounds, but also make up monsters...

Covered up as a co-production, under the guise of Chinese elements, the connotation is still the same as Hollywood, but this time they are just playing a bigger role!

The home court is on our side, we have more actors, more scenes, and more environments... But in the end, the core are actors from Hollywood! "

Lin Nanyan explained briefly and comprehensively, but did not tell Liu Yifei about the agreement between him and La Peikang, so as to save Miss Liu from worrying about it.

If Legend and Universal accept Lin Nan's request, then he will tell Liu Yifei the news.

He will write the scenes of the heroine and the female general well, tailor-made for Liu Yifei. On the contrary, "The Great Wall" has nothing to do with Lin Nan, let alone Liu Yifei...

…………

There are only 4 days left before the premiere of "Running Man".

If Yue Jun hadn't reminded him, Lin Nan would have forgotten about it.

He spent two full days to create a new "The Great Wall" - the outline!

At this time, there was dead silence in the office of the chairman of China Film Group Corporation!

La Peikang looked very unhappy because Legend and Universal rejected his request, which also meant they rejected Lin Nan's request!

"La Dong, what should we do now? The attitude there is very tough and they will not accept 'unreasonable demands'. They say that although Director Lin Nan is a Golden Lion director, they cannot accept this kind of authoritarian behavior that demands absolute power..."

Especially changing the script, which is taboo in Hollywood...Legendary people said that they made the script of "The Great Wall" based on the global market and absolutely do not agree with the changes..."

La Peikang was thinking about something expressionlessly, and after a long time he spoke, "Go and contact Lin Nan and ask him to come again. I will communicate with him in person."

"But, Director Lin already said so decisively last time... Director Lin can also be very stubborn sometimes..."

The secretary warned carefully.

"I know his character, go get in touch. I will try my best to convince him."
