Chapter 14 Stocking up on scripts
"By the way, do you have a good relationship with Shu Chang?"
"At that time, Changchang and I met on the set of "Golden Pink Family" and we got along very well."
…
When I heard that Lin Nan had joined the crew of "Lotus Lantern" as a director, Miss Liu specially sent a message that her mother would find out if she called.
What happened last time just got over like that, and Lin Nan was very disappointed.
But recently I heard gossip again about a girl next door getting involved with the teacher.
Lin Nan is not surprised at all. At worst, he is married. Just like Mr. Huang, senior brother Huang, his relationship with his students is not normal. He is about to get the certificate.
…
Not being able to take any time off, Lin Nan began to prepare the second movie script.
Lin Nan finally decided to put off the matter of competing for prizes and focus on box office movies first.
Lin Nan was very sleepy. He had been copying scripts for the past two nights, and ideas were constantly coming to his mind. It was like the movie was playing in front of his eyes and he couldn't stop.
The other party was surprised, thinking that Lin Nan was so ambitious and wanted to develop there, and advised him to be stable for a few years before talking.
"Realistic social issues? It's hard to deal with this. It's easy to get beaten to death. Brother Li was banned for five years. I can't go abroad to make movies for five years like him."
You can't say that you have a crush on an underage girl.
This time it will either be a literary film or a feature film, and the cost must be moderate anyway.
After thinking about it, I feel that if a director wants to do well in this industry, his movies must either win awards or sell well at the box office.
I can't handle a big-budget commercial film, and I don't have the confidence and confidence yet.
It seems like I slept for five minutes, why is the get out of class over? Lin Nan muttered.
There are many movies in schools that cannot be shown to the public, from Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, for the purpose of teaching. There is a good reason for this.
"Lin Zi, what's wrong with you? The circles under your eyes are so dark." Someone asked Lin Nan.
I'm not going to go out for the next two months, so I'll strike while the iron is hot, write down all the scripts in my mind, and give them to Tom to register.
The videos in my memory flashed through my mind like turning pages.
Sooner or later, the eight major Hollywood or independent film companies will come looking for him.
"Huh, I'll go ask it myself." The avatar turned gray.
"I've arrived early for school to start so that you can go with us to welcome the new year."
Lin Nan left the teachers' office area and relaxed a little, "It's not easy to be a good student, so I won't let you just mess around."
The freshman year passes by in such a hurry. College students from other schools may enjoy summer vacation, but students from film schools and drama schools cannot.
Chatting with Liu Yifei, I heard that the role of the male protagonist Li Xiaoyao has not yet been decided, and the boss of Tangren is promoting his own newcomer. Daewoo is a little hesitant.
I took the time to read some movie information. Hong Kong films can still struggle for a few more years, and there are still many Chinese-language films produced by Hollywood.
My young body couldn't survive the third day, so I started to take a nap during the movie viewing class.
As a Northwest native, he is not interested in living in a courtyard house, but investing in it is fine.
Director Tian smiled. The styles of directors of their generation are mostly influenced by Europe, but movies are both art and commodities, and only the latter can drive the economy and stimulate the industry to flourish.
I didn't eat, so I returned to the dormitory dejectedly, covered myself with a quilt and went to sleep, not even thinking about whether I had classes in the afternoon.
"What Director Tian said is that this guy has a smart mind, but he is too lazy. He just muddles along in class and exams."
If a movie wants to win an award, it probably cannot take into account the box office. It must either be a literary film or a realistic film, the latter is more likely to win awards.
Lin Nan was shocked. I am a director. Is it appropriate for you to do this?
Speaking of movie scripts, some are adapted from novels and some are original scripts.
"A good talent needs to be attentive. There are many good directors, but not many can make a profit at the box office. This guy is pretty good."
The recent news about movies is just that, there are few domestically produced films, and import restrictions are very strict.
It's a pity for Yin Tianxue, Bai Su is luckier than Tianxue.
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Nan was tough-mouthed, but knew that the other person was doing it for his own good.
It was finally over, and Lin Nan was about to leave, but was stopped by Director Tian who came in. After a few more words of encouragement, Lin Nan was let go.
First, I went to my small company and took a look. The recent account sharing with Shanghai Film and Television Cinemas was all handled by two accountants. I felt a little like letting go of being the boss.
"School is about to start, where have you been? Welcome to the new year, you forgot."
"The production of "Baolian Lantern" was probably started around the same time as your crew, both in Hengdian."
The rest is easy, sign the contract, spend money and do things one by one, and establish a long-term relationship.
Well, feelings are the reason.
"I passed it for you, but you still have to take the make-up test before the start of school. I will notify the office. You must get 90 points."
Lin Nan turned on the computer and started writing the script, "Return to Youth" (Return to Twenty).
"It's me, Lao Zhu, it's you."
"When I have some time, I will write down all the high-quality scripts, and then register and file them first." Lin Nan muttered.
Just do it, go before going to the Golden Horse at the end of the year. Lin Nan is not going to do anything else, just write scripts, register, keep writing scripts, keep registering...
Lin Nan was sleeping that day when her cell phone rang.
"With a score of seventy-five, I don't care about other students. If you get a score of seventy-five, let others know what they think. You are also a director with a box office record..."
I made a phone call and told my dad that I was preparing a script and was going to attend the awards ceremony after school started. I really didn’t have time and it was all scheduled for next year.
The final key point is to choose the type of script. What mentality and purpose do you have when writing the second script?
Prize winning or box office?
Although he knows that buying a house here is definitely profitable, Lin Nan is still not in a hurry. He will make more money next year and buy a large villa at once.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided on "Return to Youth".
Lin Nan approached SIPG and asked him to find an intermediary channel for him. The main thing was to register the script with the Screenwriters Guild of America for Lin Nan non-stop. Of course, Lin Nan would bear the cost himself.
Lin Nan doesn't plan to go back to his hometown. When he goes back, his father will ask him if he has a girlfriend again.
"By the way, there are Zhu Yawen and others. Your crew must come." After saying this, Teacher Zhou turned around and left.
Lin Nan also checked specifically and found that he was a serious man with an easy-to-remember name, Tom, a thirty-year-old man.
After appeasing his father, Lin Nan felt relieved.
"Okay, teacher, I will work hard during the holidays."
Lin Nan knows a lot of movies, but he really doesn't pay much attention to which ones are adapted from novels. This needs to be paid attention to, so as not to be accused of "plagiarism".
He had no intention of living on campus during the summer vacation. He rented a two-bedroom apartment not far from the school and settled down here in the past two months. Live script.
I closed my eyes and searched for a long time before I found it, "Hey, who is it?"
Except for sleeping, eating and going to the toilet, Lin Nan spends the rest of the time in front of the computer.
Lin Nan also paid attention to Zhouyi's dramas. In the past few years, he has been really abnormal. During the high-yield period, he produced one or two dramas every year. Last year, "Xiao Shiyilang" premiered. This year, "Shuiyuedongtian" was produced, and "Young King" was also broadcast.
.
As for "Return to Youth", Lin Nan plans to keep it a secret for now and wait until she is released from the Lotus Lantern crew before looking for investment. This time, she will make it more sophisticated and bigger.
Since you have decided to start a company, no matter how many people there are or how few, you still have to go around from time to time.
Lin Nan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can work together."
"Well, I stayed up late writing the script."
"Believe me, you will definitely be Zhao Ling'er." Lin Nan encouraged her.
I didn't expect the teacher in the directing department to be so cruel. He caught Lin Nan and criticized her for half an hour, saying that he had different requirements for outstanding students.
I have been really confused these past two months, but fortunately I have achieved a lot of results.
"Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is also scheduled to be released in August, starring the stubborn Jiang Wen, and Xu Cainv's "My Dad and Me", but they will not impact the box office of "Mobile Phone".
"Lin Nan?"
"Fake." Lin Nan replied.
Lin Nan left after promising to double his bonus this year. He had to find a house.
Within two days, Shanghai Film Studio found the agent Lin Nan needed, a well-known cultural broker in the United States.
Summer vacation is the time to find a crew. With the school's reputation, the starting point is much higher than those of professional group actors, and the competition is also stronger.
"When filming starts, come and visit my class, hehe."
There are many movies with high box office, especially comedies, which are the easiest to stand out. Although Lin Nan's "Warm and Bright" is about love, there are also many funny elements in it.
Before I had walked a few steps, I was stopped again, "Teacher Zhou, what's the matter?"
Work hard for a while, and be happy for the rest of your life.
I used to think that after Liu Yifei passed away, it was Zhao Ling'er, but after all this time, it turned out to be the role of Anu. Only recently has there been news that the role will be changed to the female lead.
Uncle Long is still in his prime and productive years. The "Rush Hour 2" more than a year ago is still fresh in his memory. Now there is another "Flying Dragon Reborn" coming out. Although he can't get in, it is already in the minds of the students.
It's in the menu.
Lin Nan got excited just thinking about such a crazy thing.
I write during the day and at night. When I feel sleepy, I write when I wake up. When I feel hungry, I eat. When I feel full, I write again...
"I don't believe that hundreds of movie scripts can't make me a guest?"
With a lot of European and American films in his mind, Lin Nan had already made up his mind that the Screenwriters Guild of America was a good organization.
Bu Jingyun will also film "One Meter of Sunshine" with future Huan Huan.
…
"Yes, I want to drag you to help me find someone over there. What are you doing? Help me register the script."
Poor Lin Nan was left behind because he failed to meet the score required by the teacher in one theoretical class.
"Really?" There was also a grinning expression.
Wash your face and brush your teeth, go out to eat and get a haircut.
He began to search in his mind.
"If you don't like me, just say so. What does it mean to be stable for a few years?"
Lin Nan had no choice but to reply honestly.
On the contrary, there are many TV dramas. "Sword and Fairy" has officially announced that it is casting actors. It is the first game adaptation, and the gimmick is not small. "Lotus Lantern" seems to have selected the actors of the Three Holy Mothers, and I heard that Erlang Shen has contributed.
Zhu Yawen's roar made Lin Nan wake up a little and looked at the computer. Good guy, registration for new students will start tomorrow, August 29th.
Lin Nan asked her to guess, but she got angry and hung up the phone without saying anything. Penguin even asked Lin Nan to reflect on her attitude.
By the way, I called the agent. There was still half a month left on the lease. I asked him to come over to check and refund the rent, and I had to leave.
If I miss the welcoming ceremony, I will probably be sprayed to death by Teacher Zhou on the spot.
The agent was quite conscientious and handled the matter neatly, except for asking for a group photo.
I hope you all can support me, thank you.
Chapter completed!
