That year Huayu

As expected, there were indeed headlines the next day.

It is rare for everyone to see Lin Nan say harsh words in a positive situation. This is the first time.

"Two major directors from Nortel are tit for tat. One is belittling horror films, and the other is satirizing the plagiarism of each other's films..."

"Director Lin Nan is suspected of being a documentary director..."

…

When word spread about what happened at the dinner that day, Lin Nan didn't care who made the news. Let it be what it is. You should accept what you say.

Jiang Wen was a person who didn't mind joining in the fun. "The Sun Also Rises" was still being filmed, so he told the visiting reporter that he regretted not being there at the time, otherwise he would have had to drink two cups.

The "Kekexili" lawsuit suddenly became a hot topic. Originally, only a small number of media reported it, but now more people are paying attention.

Lin Nan also didn't expect that the news about his confrontation with Lu Chuan would be on par with popular news such as "Super Girl" and "The Good Man".

A dog named Song bluntly said that this was Lin Nan's promotion for the upcoming "Time Cruiser".

Lin Nan only replied to the reporter: A dog is a dog. Since he claims to be a dog in the entertainment industry, he should not always get involved in human affairs.

It can be regarded as revenge for Miss Liu.

This is the first time the media has seen Lin Nan be so arrogant. He had always been polite in interviews before, but this was the first time he cursed someone in front of the microphone without naming him. Well, he called him a dog.

…

Ms. Liu, who was far away at Sony's headquarters, made a special call back. She was so moved that she even cried while talking...

A screening of "Tengu" was held at Nortel, and Lin Nan, a great director at the school, was also invited.

Fu Dalong, an actor from Nortel, is a rare and talented actor, and his performance in "Tengu" was really good.

I was still listening to the creators talk about their feelings about the show, but someone came to Lin Nan over there and said, "Senior Brother Lin, the department is asking you to come over."

"What is supposed to come will come."

Lin Nan found it funny. Are the parents going to mediate?

At present, the pressure of public opinion is on Lu Chuan's side, and Lin Nan is the first celebrity in the industry to stand up and speak for the documentary director. This person also thanked Lin Nan for speaking out through the media.

Tian Zhuangzhuang quite approved of Lin Nan's behavior, and he was right to discuss matters as they were.

But the fight between two well-known directors from the school really had a bad impact on the school.

It was said that he was looking for someone from the department, but wasn’t the head of the department his own teacher? Lin Nan murmured in his heart.

Lin Nan's undergraduate advisor, Lao Jiang, was also in Tian Zhuangzhuang's office.

Lin Nan knocked on the door and came in, then closed it behind her back.

"Sit down." Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed to Lao Jiang.

"You kid is so inconsiderate." Lao Jiang scolded with a smile.

"That's what I'm saying. The guy named Lu always thinks that since he's more than one round older than me, he can put on airs. He's just looking for trouble."

Lin Nan took the lead and said, "The responsibilities are clearly divided."

"The department has held a meeting about you two."

"That's not true, is it?"

Lin Nan didn't believe it. This was not a big deal.

"Professor Jiang said hello, let's end this matter and save some face for the old man."

Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly said, this tone was going to set the tone.

"Are you really looking for a parent?"

Lin Nan said in disbelief.

Now he really believed the rumor that Jiang Wen turned against his client and Lu Chuan called to complain late at night!

Tian Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes at his student, but this metaphor was quite appropriate.

"After that, don't speak on this matter. As for plagiarism or not, other families will handle it themselves."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lin Nan said helplessly, this is the reality.

…

The box office of "Insidious" is still growing, but it is somewhat different from the previous "Dead Silence". The North American box office growth is not as good as the latter, but the global box office is much better than the previous "Dead Silence".

The email sent by Lionsgate is similar to what foreign media reported. In the first week, "Insidious" earned nearly 40 million US dollars worldwide. According to the law of box office decline over time, it should not be a big problem to exceed 100 million US dollars this time.

The second round of promotion for "Time Cruise" has begun, but unfortunately Zeng Li can't come.

"The Sweeney," which was launched in 2002, experienced the death of the crew, changed roles, and was restarted. The director died of illness, and it was not confirmed to be released until this month.

This is Zeng Li's first movie with a female protagonist. The male protagonist is Chen Kun, and Lin Nan let Zeng Li go there.

"It was two years ago that Lizi accepted this movie. It was the first time someone asked her to play the heroine in a movie..."

Chen Minghao recalled saying.

Lin Nan knew this. Zeng Li's film career was much more difficult than that of her female classmates.

Sitting in the rest area of ​​the CCTV building, the big screen was showing the Hong Kong Island Film Awards awards video. Zhou Xun won the Best Actress, and Jay Chou won the Best New Actor for "If Love".

There were many actresses from Mainland China who joined in the fun, and Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi were among the presenters.

"Director Lin, do you think our movie can win an award?"

Tian Yu's question is difficult to answer. This is a science fiction film and a commercial film, and it is not suitable for film festivals.

"Where to get it? Hundred flowers? Haha."

Chen Minghao answered and couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Nan was thinking that if he wanted to win the prize, he would have to go to Baihua or Huabiao.

Inside the studio.

"Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"

asked the host of the movie channel.

"I hope the domestic box office can reach 200 million." Lin Nan expressed his inner expectations.

After saying this number, the host had a smile on his face, and several of the leading actors were also a little excited.

The last movie to exceed 200 million in domestic sales was "Hero" at the end of 2002. "The Promise" a few months ago fell to 180 million, and it was still the box office champion last year.

"Director Lin is confident?"

"Just ask the leading actors, haha."

"Have confidence!"

"We believe in Director Lin, haha."

…

Major theaters have already hung up the release posters for "Time Cruiser". The fourth film directed by Lin Nan will be officially released on May Day.

This is the first time a movie has been released abroad. Lionsgate tried its best, but the schedule can only be described as average.

In the words of the head of Lionsgate's publishing department, "Lin, this is the first time, so it can only go as far as this. The next time, it will be different."

Lin Nan understands this truth and will definitely suffer some losses the first time.

The news from Showbox is better. Their theater chains will give them more preferential treatment, while other theater chains will be more cautious.

Since Tian Zhuangzhuang greeted Lin Nan, the latter has not been interviewed by reporters again, and the news on the Internet seems to have disappeared all of a sudden.

Sometimes you have to admit the butterfly effect. I remember that Lu Chuan's lawsuit would last for a long time, but after Lin Nan's retort, the matter was declared settled in the first round of the lawsuit.

The plaintiff rebelled in court and listed a series of testimonies that were useful to Lu Chuan. He wished he could change the identities of the plaintiff and defendant on the spot.

When this news was revealed by a certain media, the Internet was filled with lamentation.

"It's a pity that Director Lin Nan spoke out so righteously..."

"unlucky."

"Director Lin Nan didn't even dare to write the script like this, so Lu Chuan wrote it directly for the director!"

"Money, money, money, once you've negotiated the money, it's easy to talk about anything..."

There were many people comforting Lin Nan, but he couldn't explain it. His first reaction was just to retaliate against Lu Chuan.

All the publicity that needed to be done was done, Lin Nan was just waiting for the movie to be released.

On the other side, spanning nearly a year, when "Golden Armor" was fully launched, Zhang Yimou received his appointment letter as chief director, and the national teacher was about to take up the post.

Shu Chang came to Lin Nan with a TV series invitation. Liu Yifei and her daughter were not here, so they had to look to him to make the decision.

"Do you want to pick up?"

Looking at Shu Chang, Lin Nan asked.

Shu Chang has collaborated with Zhang Jizhong for "The Deer and the Cauldron" many times, and this time the role is Princess Jianning.

"Director Zhang said the role is not very big and it won't delay my school affairs."

Got it, Shu Chang still wanted to take it.

"Then take it, as long as you don't act like before, call me if you have anything, and I will ask Huang Xiaoming to take care of you..."

"Um."

Since the last lawsuit, Shu Chang's attitude towards Lin Nan has changed a lot. When joking, he would call her by name, but he would call him brother more often.

"New Shanghai Beach" is still in a hurry, but Huang Xiaoming has already signed a contract for his next drama. He just hopes that the crew will not have any problems and affect the schedule.

He agreed to Lin Nan's request. People from great directors are not easy to come by. These are all precious personal connections.

"Brother Xiao Ming, who are you calling, smiling so happily?"

Sun Li, who played Feng Chengcheng, asked with a smile, and Huang Haibo next to him also had a smile on his face.

"Lin Nan. My next film is "The Deer and the Cauldron" produced by Zhang. He asked me to take care of his sister."

Huang Xiaoming didn't hide it. It would be good for him to say this kind of thing.

"Director Lin Nan? He has a sister?" Everyone was very curious, but they had never heard of it.

"It's Shu Chang. She plays the role of Princess Jianning. They seem to know each other from "Lotus Lantern". Haven't you often seen news about them going shopping before?"

Huang Xiaoming explained that Shu Chang still plays his wife in the play.

The global box office of "Insidious" reached nearly 70 million U.S. dollars at the end of the second week, and reached 90 million U.S. dollars in the third week, and then began to plummet.

With this box office result, according to Lin Nan's estimation, Wen Zairen's answer should not be far away.

The box office data from across the ocean was transmitted back to China. The public was once again shocked by the extremely high profits of horror films, but also regretted the domestic policies.

Shanghai Film Corporation called and advised Lin Nan not to take the opportunity to promote the horror tone of "Time Cruiser".

"Be safe and don't promote this. Science fiction is science fiction. No matter what you said before, don't mention it now...

It's about to be released, and there are definitely jealous people out there. If it does something for you, you'll be very passive. "

"I understand, Director Ren, I won't do this."

Lin Nan really had this idea, and took advantage of the popularity of "Latent" to promote it.

After listening to Ren Zhonglun's words, he realized that this was a science fiction film.

When reviewing scripts and applying for screening permits, the applications were all science fiction. If they hyped up horror tones, wouldn’t they be causing trouble for the bureau? Are you uncomfortable?
