That year Huayu

There are many more people taking the art exam this year, but Nortel's efficiency is actually higher than in previous years.

Two days after the second exam ended, the list of students who entered the final exam was announced.

Lin Nan did not miss the final exam, and many students became inexplicably nervous when they saw him.

In the words of other teachers, when seeing Lin Nan, those art candidates can't help but think about their future, so it would be strange if they weren't nervous.

During the break, everyone discussed that Lin Daiyu had just become a monk two days ago. At this time, she was already in the advanced stage of severe illness, which was a pity.

Han Sanping told Lin Nan that the reason his new script was so slow was because of the subject matter, but it should be ready soon.

After all, you still have to say hello, otherwise the process will be so slow.

Ning Hao is already working hard on the script and will submit it as soon as it is completed.

Lin Nan told him from experience that it was best to submit the case for trial in Ning Hao's own name, which was much faster.

…

Jing Tian danced well and passed the final test without any accidents.

Even when several examiners were chatting with her, they laughed a lot. This girl spoke too straightforwardly, but she also seemed innocent.

"Lin Nan, this is the actor in your movie. It's quite funny. His mouth is faster than his brain, haha."

"You are joking. Such pure thoughts are rare anymore..."

Others were stunned when they heard this, "Yes, girls with rough lines are simple, there are many of them, and they are comfortable to get along with..."

Several teachers gave him good marks, including Lin Nan.

Some people look stupid, but in fact they may not be. Just like the little girl named Zheng, the teachers are unanimously optimistic...

"You should concentrate on preparing for the exam when you go back in the next few months. When the results of the cultural courses are online, everything will be fine."

Lin Nan said to Jingtian.

The latter immediately understood the meaning, "Thank you, Brother Lin, I will definitely pass the exam."

"Well, you can go back."

With that said, Lin Nan was about to go back to the final examination site.

"Then, Brother Lin, goodbye."

Jing Tian smiled happily and looked at Lin Nan's back until he disappeared.

The final test continued, and Lin Nan had a vague impression of many people's names, but when it came to their works, he couldn't recall even one.

It's very difficult to get ahead in the acting department, but it's also a very tempting circle.

Lin Nan discovered a problem. After some students took the art exam, several teachers would talk about their performance on the spot right after they took the art exam.

Most of them talk about the advantages, and a few point out some faults. After picking and choosing, it becomes a trivial matter, and the final score will definitely be good.

At first, Lin Nan thought it was normal, until a girl accidentally mentioned a certain senior in the industry.

Then there was her recitation, which was featureless and often lost her focus and forgot the words. Several teachers said that it was understandable, um, not bad.

Lin Nan understood. No wonder he told him in advance that as long as Jing Tian passed the cultural class, it would be absolutely fine. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

But Jing Tian’s dancing is really good, and her performance in the interview was absolutely superb. What are the characteristics of this guy in front of me?

After a few people left, Lin Nan said, "Teachers, this is a bit too much. She can even memorize "Compassion for the Peasants" correctly. Has she ever studied in elementary school?"

"You can't blame the child for this. She should be quite nervous. But it's polite. Didn't she say she liked your movie when she met you?"

"Like my movie? But my movie is called "Into the Smoke", not "Into the Smoke". It tells about suffering, not the rural love story she told..."

Lin Nan really couldn't stand it anymore. He wants to be talented but not talented, and he wants to have no brains. Are you trying to flatter others? Just because she is a relative of so and so?

"I'm a little busy with work later, so I won't participate."

Lin Nan left the performance department and talked about this matter with Lao Jiang.

"There are some quotas reserved every year, but from what you said, this year is indeed more extreme."

"I won't go there later. Please help me say hello to the leader over there."

"Okay, I haven't even watched your movie, and I just use it to flatter you. You are also an idiot, haha."

…

The script of "Painted Skin" passed the review and was posted on the official website of the Film Bureau.

The screenwriter and director's names are both Lin Nan.

In less than an hour, the internet was full of news.

"Lin Nan's new film, magical love in ancient costume!"

"Looking at the name of the script, it's an adaptation of Liao Zhai."

"The movie "Painted Skin", shemale sadomasochism..."

Hua Yi learned the news immediately.

"Is it this movie?"

"should be."

"Then ask him, when will it open? Do we have a chance to invest?"

Lin Nan won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the second time. His reputation is at the peak of his popularity. He is also a major commercial director, but he has received more attention than people like Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai.

Wang Zhonglei nodded and was about to go back to the office to make a call, but he thought it was unlikely that he could invest.

Tang people.

Cai Yinong was chatting with Hu Ge alone.

"It's this movie, even though it's just a male supporting role."

"I'm very satisfied with the male supporting role..."

Wang Jinghua looked at Zhu Yawen again, who smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Perhaps the third male role is more suitable for me, but Lin Nan has already agreed to go out."

"What about the auditions for other roles?" Wang Jinghua asked.

"For this movie, Lin Nan will not open auditions to the public, but it will be by invitation only."

…

Lin Nan is sitting in the office now, taking Wang Zhonglei's call.

"This is the movie, but we have to wait a little longer to start filming. There is a lot of preparation work in the early stages. I will not go back on my promise to Mr. Wang.

The first heroine in the movie is the vixen, and I will choose it from Huayi's actors. "

"Haha, thank you very much, Director Lin. I'll ask someone to send you the list later. But I also want to ask if this movie requires investment..."

"Mr. Wang, there is no shortage of investment." Lin Nan interrupted Wang Zhonglei.

"Well, then, we will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future, hehehe."

"Insatiable," Lin Nan muttered after hanging up the phone.

Regarding investment matters, they still have to be divided, but Lin Nan will not accept Huayi's funds.

Special effects, costumes, props, "painted skin" production, modeling team...

The cost of costume movies has always been relatively high, and since this is a fantasy-themed film, the cost of visual effects cannot be discounted.

…

Yang Shoucheng asked about "Painted Skin", and the answer he got was that it didn't require investment.

Because Lin Nan met Xi Ying and Ning Ying's people in Han Sanping's office.

Lin Nan is not planning to change the filming location, so Ning Ying can help in this regard.

I really can’t refuse the West Film studio in my hometown. Wanda is good for film arrangement, Raytheon is good for publicity, and the big brother is China Film. Director Ren from Shanghai Film Studio did not come to interfere this time. I heard he is busy with other things. .

Including Lin Nan, there are six more, exactly the same number as at the time of "The Martian".

"I still treat this movie as a blockbuster."

When Han Sanping heard this, he sat up straight, and the other people also pricked up their ears.

"Director Lin just said it. We can afford another "Mars"." Wanda's people are so nice to talk to.

“The budget the team gave me was around 100 million, but in the end I thought it could be reduced to 80 million.

Although costume blockbusters are expensive, I can save a lot more money than those in Hong Kong. "

Lin Nan mocked "Red Cliff", and Han Sanping took the lead in laughing.

"How to divide it?" The person in the light asked.

Xiying and Ningying participated for the first time and didn’t talk much.

"I control it, 30 million, but I want half of it."

Lin Nan said categorically, feeling more confident now.

"It's appropriate. Then just report 100 million directly to the outside world. Lin Nan's director and screenwriter fees plus investment will be calculated as 50 million. This sounds better..."

Han Sanping took the lead and said.

The remaining 50 million will be slowly divided among the five parties, and Lin Nan will not care about this.

"I will invite the main actors this time. There are also some unimportant supporting roles. You can arrange them." Lin Nan said.

The three state-owned enterprises were indifferent. Wanda was not interested in the supporting role. Only the people from Guangguang were interested.

This film has very high requirements on art design, especially the overall color tone, which is dominated by cold and dark gray.

The background of the movie is set in the Han Dynasty, from the lonely smoke in the desert to the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. The magnificence of the north contrasts with the softness of the south.

The picture should present a classical charm, sometimes hazy and dreamy, sometimes weird and terrifying. When shooting the story, the national cultural characteristics should also be shown.

Lin Nan handed over this part of the work to several film studios. In terms of color and environment, they are definitely the most professional and top-notch, so there is no need to use it in vain.

Lin Nan can complete the costume props in his own company, after all, he has hired so many people.

There are many people watching Lin Nan's new drama, including film companies and talent agencies.

News that the investment was in place broke that day.

Wang Zhonglei looked at those companies and felt helpless. Wanda and Guangguang were Lin Nan's long-standing partners, and the others were all state-owned enterprises.

Even though it is known that Lin Nan's movie will not be released for a while, more and more actors are still asking about it, and many are even willing to wait for the first half of the year.

After all, the investment amount is 100 million, it's a magical drama in ancient costume.

In the martial arts school, Liu Yifei was reading the script of "Painted Skin" during her break.

She just browsed briefly before, but this time she looked more carefully.

Liu Xiaoli sat on the side, "I heard that the cost is 100 million?"

"Well, it's actually 80 million. If you add Lin Nan, it'll be 100 million."

Liu Yifei said without raising her head.

"The script is good, and the role of Advocate is also very important."

"Do you know his role arrangement?" Liu Xiaoli asked her daughter tentatively.

"Yes, I know something."

Liu Yifei's smile is as bright as a flower, which is very eye-catching.

"I've told you all this confidential stuff..."

She saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in her eyes. The closer the two were, the more entangled she became. The girl she had raised for so many years was kidnapped right before her eyes.

…

Suddenly some unsightly things were mixed into the media reports.

For some reason, the media in Hong Kong suddenly pointed the finger at Lin Nan.
