That year Huayu

Lin Nan specially sent Zhang Yimou, Liu Dehua and Jing Tian off and chatted in front of their cars for a while.

"Calculating the time, after the Oscars are over, around the end of February or early March, "The Great Wall" will start shooting.

Come and have a look at the set when the time comes, and give me some advice on how to win the Oscar for Best Director. "

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, not only Lin Nan, but also Liu Dehua and Jing Tian couldn't help but smile.

"Don't dig a hole for me. Nominations won't be made until next month. It's not good to say things too early and too early."

"Don't be so old-fashioned, like the rest of us. Young directors must be hardworking and dare to speak out, and you have the qualifications!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yimou smiled and patted Lin Nan's arm.

"Director Lin, I sincerely hope that you can win the Golden Globe, Berlin and Oscar this time. I am still waiting for the third cooperation. The title will be different by then, haha..."

Liu De said with a chuckle. It could be seen that his words were absolutely sincere.

"I'll try my best."

Lin Nan looked at Jing Tian who looked expectant: "Train well, you have worked with many great directors.

Director Zhang is much more patient than me in training actors. I hope you can learn a lot. "

"Yeah, I will remember it, thank you, Brother Lin."

The three of them got into the car one after another. Jing Tian turned back and waved, and Lin Nan smiled and nodded.

It wasn't until the car was far away that he sighed and walked towards the party that was finishing up.

…………

Participating in events like PR cocktail parties is bound to be endless.

For two consecutive days, including "Manchester by the Sea", Lin Nan participated in a total of four performances, which was really a continuous flow in the morning and afternoon.

He guessed that it would have to be like this these days, because there were so many film crews and film producers who invited him, and no matter how hard he chose, they couldn't all be turned down.

In the evening, Lin Nan leaned lazily on the sofa, feeling really tired.

Suddenly, he remembered what happened at the film market in China.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" seems to have been released on the second day, right?

Lin Nan couldn't wait to pick up her phone, and directly scrolled through Weibo, where she found it on the hot search.

After a while, he couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, we have a great director!"

"Produced by Buyilehu Pictures, directed by Jiang Wen, starring Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhou Yun, Shu Qi, Wen Zhang, Wang Zhiwen and others.

The second part of the "Beiyang Series", the movie "One Step Away" was released on the first day, with a film scheduling rate of over 55% and a strong box office of 97.8 million. "

"One day after the release of "One Step Away", the film's reputation and reviews are wildly different, and the polarization is serious... The online criticism suddenly started and intensified!"

"Four years, 300 million investment, IMAX3D shooting, Hollywood special effects team... "One Step Away" is hugely controversial!"

…

The media reports are relatively objective and do not contain personal information.

But there really was a large-scale war of words among netizens, viewers, and fans.

It’s just like what was said in the news—the movie’s reputation is seriously polarizing! There are only two factions: those who support Jiang Wen and those who belittle Jiang Wen. There are almost no neutral ones.

"I think Director Jiang Wen must be trying to tell something. I just finished watching it and I still don't know it clearly. I need to go back and check the background information of the story and savor it carefully."

"I feel it is related to "The Sun Also Rises". There is a train at the end. Director Jiang Wen wants to express and metaphorize too many things. The content reflected in the movie has a familiarity with our history and reality.

But for the public, including fans like me, it is not something that can be understood in one go. It has to be thought about multiple times and carefully. "

"Director Jiang Wen doesn't make bad movies. If you can't understand it, it just means we haven't reached that level. Watching it a few more times will definitely lead to new discoveries and surprises."

"I think this movie reflects the director's inner struggle against the world. He is still the idealist."

…

Lin Nan thinks that those who give negative reviews are interesting and quite humorous!

"Is your talent exhausted? Your talent is exhausted!"

"There is a gap of 100 "If You Are the One" between "One Step Away" and "Let the Bullets Fly". It sucks!"

"I came to see movies, not plays or musicals. "One Step Away" is Jiang Wen's self-aggrandizing, arrogant, and extremely egotistical work."

"I don't know what to say until the end. I want a story but no story, a rhythm but no rhythm, and no visual effects. Is he admiring himself?"

"Except for the soundtrack, there is nothing else good about it. This is just a love musical, but it's just a love musical that cost 300 million yuan!"

"The story is broken, the writing is out of balance, and the big empty scenes are endlessly detailed one after another; the key plots, inheritance, climax, etc. that constitute a complete story are all weak, and the emotional direction of the characters seriously lacks rationality..."

"The 140-minute movie, with a lot of high-pitched monologues and ritual dialogues, made me exhausted and unable to digest it."

"I hate to say this is the worst movie of the year, but it's as bad as The Wheel."

“After ‘Let the Bullets Fly’, Jiang Wen was put on a pedestal, but he shouldn’t call himself a ‘god’!”

…

Lin Nan estimated that Jiang Wen's current state must be like a flammable and explosive powder keg.

The doubts about bad movies are getting louder and louder, which is a catastrophic blow to a "extremely conceited" person like him.

But he will never bow his head, he will definitely hold on!

"This is interesting. When I return to China, I will have to tease him.

Starting with a box office of 1 billion? Besides "One Step Away", no other film is eligible for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? After four years of sharpening a sword, the first 3D major production? "

Lin Nan looked at the news on his phone and couldn't help but murmur.

"Good guy, "Tai Ping Wheel (Part 1)" is now too cool?"

Lin Nan scanned the news about this movie. It was released for 18 days and had a box office of 170 million. On the day "One Step Away" was released, the former's daily box office was already 370,000!

"It's so miserable."

…

In order to be energetic for tomorrow's public relations party, Lin Nan went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening.

But the phone call that needs to be made still needs to be made.

It was already 10 o'clock in the morning here in China, and Liu Yifei was just lying on the bed talking on the phone with Lin Nan.

I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually wanted to sing to Lin Nan, and called it "coaxing her to sleep"?

Good guy, of course Lin Nan would not refuse this kind of treatment! But can you not sing your own song?

Facts have proved that the slightly nasal, soft and waxy humming sound is indeed very good at helping you sleep.

Before the song "Heart Palpitation" ended, Lin Nan had already fallen asleep.

"I'm really tired. I'm snoring, so why don't I just be lazy? It's really worrying..." Liu Yifei's soft murmur sounded on the phone, with deep concern and complaint in her tone.

…………

The next day, it was nice weather again.

But not only was the weather good, Lin Nan was also in a very good mood.

Because in the afternoon of Hollywood time, Berlin announced the list of shortlisted films for all competition and non-competition units!

This news also spread completely at the first time.

Lin Nan only realized it later when he saw the domestic news.

"The 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially announced the shortlist on the official website."

"This Berlin International Film Festival will open on February 5 and last for 10 days."

"After 8 years, director Lin Nan has been nominated for the main competition of the Berlin International Film Festival for the third time with "Manchester by the Sea"!"

"One Step Away, directed by Jiang Wen, was also shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival, becoming the only Chinese-language film shortlisted for this section!"

…

"Directors Lin Nan and Jiang Wen will meet unexpectedly at this Berlin International Film Festival, and they will have their first head-on collision and fight for the Golden Bear Award in many years!"

"Both are great Chinese film directors, Director Lin Nan will compete with Director Jiang Wen on the same stage, and the chances of Chinese filmmakers winning the trophy will be greatly increased!"

"In the Chinese film industry, it is very likely that the seventh Golden Bear director will be born!"
