That year Huayu

It’s like what happened in “Nanjing” didn’t happen.

Lu Chuan kept a low profile and no longer appeared for publicity.

However, several articles appear on the Internet from time to time, "interpreting" the film, and they are all praiseworthy.

"Truely restore the pain of history."

"The good and evil of human nature..."

"The cruelty of war makes us cherish peace..."

"The protagonist reveals his true feelings and interprets those dark and tragic years..."

There are many articles, all for the audience.

But not a single manuscript mentioned the issue of stance in the film.

very scary.

If it were filmed by a foreign director, this idea of ​​choosing to forget and reconcile would make sense.

But doing this in China has made many people in the industry feel angry.

——

Lin Nan sits at home, and troubles can come to him.

The Hong Kong Island International Film Festival is being held these two days.

Feng Xiaogang is openly having sex with Hong Kong circles.

The former accused Hong Kong audiences of discriminating against mainland films.

No matter how big a production or how good a movie is, in the eyes of Hong Kong Islanders, it is always inferior and not as good as the movies on the Bay Island.

He is a great director with an overall score of over 1 billion, but here he is not as good as a director from Bay Island whose box office has just exceeded 100 million.

It didn't matter that Feng Xiaogang was looking for trouble, the Hong Kong circle responded.

Accusing mainland directors of discriminating and excluding Hong Kong actors, even if they are used to play the leading roles, they will always be just a few old people.

In the example given, Lin Nan and Ning Hao are at the forefront, while Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye and other award-winning directors are somewhat behind.

It's very realistic if the director of a commercial film comes first.

Feng Xiaogang took advantage and bluntly said that he deserved it and did it himself.

He also said that he will no longer consider the box office of Hong Kong Island for his future movies...

Well now, the media is full of verbal and verbal criticism.

As the current record holder for domestic films, Lin Nan is inevitably brought up for criticism.

Although Feng Xiaogang started this spat, everyone knows that the Hong Kong community was seriously injured.

Because of the former, you can indeed ignore the box office on Hong Kong Island. This is the confidence of a great commercial film director.

On the contrary, Hong Kong movies will die faster if they are away from the mainland.

Lin Nan ignored the news outside and received a call from Lao Jiang.

"Why don't you be the first to participate in the defense?

With you around, they don't dare to stand up, they all want to retreat, haha. "

"Is there still this matter?"

Lin Nan found it a bit strange.

“After all, the status difference is too great.

Although you are all classmates, the pressure they feel in front of you is no less than in front of Director Tian and others. "

After Lao Jiang said this, Lin Nan understood.

"Then I'll be the first to come."

"Well, nine o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late."

"Will not."

That afternoon, word spread in Nortel that Lin Nan would be the first to answer the question.

Many professors and teachers applied to audit.

Even a large number of current students want to join in the fun.

…………

The next morning, Lin Nan casually put on some casual clothes and drove off.

Liu Yifei went out earlier. She had a photo shoot for a fashion magazine today, in a classic style.

There are a lot of people on campus, and there are also many reporters sneaking in.

They are all very interested in Lin Nan's "Hunting" and hope to get some inside information.

"Director Lin, can you reveal the content of the movie?"

"Sorry, can't."

Journalists and students followed Lin Nan's footsteps to the graduate department of the directing department.

"No unrelated persons are allowed to enter the graduate student defense site, especially when the film is being screened."

Security guards to maintain order had been waiting here early to stop media reporters and a large number of students.

"You are the only one who has this kind of treatment. Counting back, when did you graduate from graduate school with this kind of battle?"

Lao Jiang joked and reminded again.

"Other graduates were there during the thesis speeches, but they did not participate in the film screening."

Lin Nan was a little surprised. According to the rules, classmates who graduated together can watch other people's works.

Lao Jiang saw Lin Nan's doubts.

“I’m afraid they will go out and talk nonsense.

This is special treatment for you. If you don't get the prize, you have to return the favor, haha. "

"Okay, that's a good plan!" Lin Nan complained.

The two of them went all the way to the lecture theater.

There were more than two hundred seats, and a quarter of them were occupied. It was quite a scene.

Lin Nan glanced at it and saw that there were nearly twenty people from other majors coming to listen.

Lao Jiang took the copy of "Hunting" and made preparations.

Lin Nan went up to the podium alone.

"It's time to start."

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at his students on the stage and said with a smile.

"Okay, teacher."

Everyone in the seats, whether they were professors or other graduates, immediately cheered up.

Lin Nan adjusted his thoughts and prepared to finish the manuscript today.

"As everyone knows, I made 'The Martian,' co-financed and starred in 'Inception.'"

The people below raised their ears and listened attentively.

"The content of my thesis is also related to these two movies and goes further."

"Today, the title of my speech is: "Heavy Industry Films and Film Industrialization."

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone on the field had different expressions.

The professors of the directing department, headed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, had sparkling eyes.

Teachers from other majors looked solemn and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Only the graduates who were listening were stunned.

"Isn't this over the top?"

Some students whispered.

“There is no such thing as ‘film industrialization’ in China, which is the biggest difference from Hollywood.

Their large-scale commercial films can be made like assembly line products.

Standardization, modularization, process, simplicity and perfection..."

…

…

For more than an hour, Lin Nan talked eloquently.

He elaborated on the production model of heavy industry films, the advantages of film industrialization, and its role in promoting the entire industry.

There are also required relevant scientific research levels, industrial design and manufacturing capabilities, and various professional talents...

More and more people were frowning below, sighing from time to time.

After a long time, Lin Nan ended his speech.

“Heavy industrial films are highly specialized, process-oriented, capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and type-based creations, and are the product of a highly developed film industry.

The above is the content of my defense this time. Teachers please ask questions. "

Lin Nan looked at the professors in the first row, waiting for them to speak.

"Director Tian, ​​it's better for you to do it. He knows more than me. What can I ask?"

Several professors looked depressed and helpless.

"In this regard, he is indeed better than us old guys, so let's not ask."

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head and made a decision, and the others had no objections.

Lin Nan didn't expect this result. Is it really over the top?

When "Hunting" was shown, a group of graduates voluntarily went out.

"Fuck, is this the difference between us and him?"

After a group of people came out, they looked at each other in confusion, with the contents of Lin Nan's defense just flashing in their minds.

They don't even dare to think about writing this paper, let alone writing it.

"The Hunt" starts playing.

Different from the paper I just talked about about large-scale commercial films, the film in front of me is a realistic one.

Gossip, lies, hatred, suspicion, people’s opinions, and others’ opinions...

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are like white paper stained with ink that can never be wiped clean.

Academic professors are very good at this kind of movies.

“As expected of a man who has won the Silver Bear twice.

Director Tian, ​​with Lin Nan as a reference, your future students will have a hard time. "

"Haha, it's a good thing to be strenuous. Only in this way can you have goals and motivation."

…

It wasn't until around two o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Nan's defense was completely over.

"You graduated."

Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Lin Nan's shoulder, although he was not as tall as the latter.

"Thank you, teacher, for taking care of me these past few years and saving me a lot of trouble."

Lin Nan said it sincerely, and he had to be grateful.

Tian Zhuangxang waved his hand, "Yes, let's make movies in the future."

"Yeah, I will."

Lin Nan didn't stay at school much.

After getting the copy back, he returned to the company.

——

In the morning, Huayi announced a new film project to the media.

They will invest in a costume blockbuster, directed by Xu Ke.

Everyone in the industry is joking, it seems that Old Monster Xu has recovered from the blow of "Seven Swords".

That movie made Xu Ke's reputation plummet and he suffered a huge loss.

"Detective Dee series?"

Lin Nan saw the report on the Internet, and it turned out to be "Tongtian Empire".

Not only has the investment reached 130 million, but the actors have been confirmed and filming will start early next month.

The listing is imminent, and these newly launched projects will have a positive effect on Huayi City.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Nan shouted "Come in."

"Director Lin, you guessed it." Yue Jun walked in with a smile on his face.

"What's going on now?"

"It will take a few months, but our investment is not excluded. After all, their competitors are all equally matched."

Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to pay attention to this matter at the beginning of the year.

After all this time, I finally got an answer.

"How many shares can they give up?" Lin Nan asked.

"No more than 10%."

After Yue Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask again: "Director Lin, is it necessary to invest?"

"have it……"

Lin Nan smiled and said. There are some things that cannot be said.

"This matter is very important, and it is even more important than the Zhouyi matter."

Yue Jun was a little shocked when he heard this.

He had stared at Zhou Yi for so long, and had met Jiang Yuerou so many times, but nothing could compare to this incident!

"I understand. I will communicate with them again later."

"But I want more."

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and said decisively.

"But that person seems to have no intention of letting go. It will be very difficult."

"On the basis of 10%, a little more is a little more, until there is nothing left to talk about."

Seeing his boss's unquestionable look, Yue Jun could only nod.

"I try my best."

"Well, go ahead."

Lin Nan leaned on the chair alone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

…………

In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from Lao Jiang.

The reporter didn't know who it was from, but got an interview with Lin Nan during his graduation defense.

The news came out in the afternoon and fermented for several hours.

At this moment, the Internet is already abuzz with noise.

"I guess it's not a big deal since I asked some graduate.

I’ll go check it out soon and see how I’m being commented on the Internet, haha…”

Lin Nan said indifferently.

The purpose of writing this paper was very simple at the beginning, it was my graduation thesis.

Of course, it would be better if it can have a positive effect on the industry.
