That year Huayu

Looking at the youthful young man in front of him, Director Li was obviously moved.

"How much funding can you provide? Thousands or tens of thousands?"

Director Li smiled and joked.

"One hundred thousand." Lin Nan was a little worried. The most important thing was that he didn't remember the production cost of this drama, but he thought that at this time, the cost of this kind of drama would not be high.

"Your image is quite suitable. People from the northwest have angular faces."

Director Li was silent for a while and said, "If you put on makeup and stay in the northwest climate for a few days, it should be completely suitable."

Lin Nan went to urge the food to be served. It was obvious that the two directors wanted to discuss something.

After about ten minutes, Lin Nan knocked on the door and returned to the private room.

"I ordered the food, it will be ready soon."

"Lin Nan, I guess you've heard that this film can't be approved for public release, so we can only go through the film festival route to sell the film."

"If you can provide 100,000 yuan, and the site is an abandoned mine, we can sign a contract, and you will account for 15%."

Lin Nan understood that this was the result of the discussion just now.

"I agree."

Now the two people on the other side were no longer calm, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, you can pay on the first day of the National Day holiday. I'll ask my family to find a venue in the next few days. We'll just go there then." Lin Nan said in a hurry.

"Okay, let's accept the leave and then sign the contract. You also need to read the original work "The Divine Tree" these days, and I will give you the script when the time comes." Director Li set a time for signing the contract.

And Lin Nan’s role is Yuan Fengming.

At the dinner table, there was another tug and pull, and finally they left their contact information and left.

Lin Nan stood at the gate of the school, feeling refreshed when the breeze blew.

Now all that's left is to deal with the father, "My biological father, please be gentle in scolding me."

…

Motorola and Nokia have become popular in recent years, but Lin Nan still found a landline.

"You idiot, you want my life. I'll go to Ada to find you one hundred thousand..."

Not surprisingly, Lin Nan was scolded by his grumpy father for ten minutes over the phone, and finally hung up in order to save the phone bill.

But he didn't say anything, he told Lin Nan to go back, or he came to school to see what his son became in a day outside.

In order to save trouble, Lin Nan could only go back to his hometown once, but he was a little scared when he thought about the green car.

I casually said a few words to the people in the dormitory, bought a ticket and left.

It was also National Day, so few people cared.

The train environment here is really bad and noisy.

After a long and bumpy journey, I finally returned to this northwest city, ancient Chang'an, on the third day.

Fortunately, my home is in the city, otherwise I would have to travel far away.

"Da, I'm back."

Standing at the door of the hotel, Lin Nan yelled. It was already evening, and there were still some people eating in the store.

As I walked in, there were many people sitting in the thirty-square-meter lobby, some ordering food and some making steamed buns.

There is a half-sized courtyard behind, and this store is considered the inheritance left by Grandpa Lin Nan.

Two middle-aged women were waiters. When they saw Lin Nan, they shouted to the kitchen, "Old Lin, your son is back."

Lin Nan said with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry about me."

Lao Lin, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen, took a look, and then went back.

Lin Nan found a corner where no one was and sat down.

At night, there were only two father and son in the yard behind the hotel.

Lao Lin sandwiched peanuts while Lin Nan poured wine.

"You said you knew what to do in one day. One hundred thousand, why don't you go to heaven? I don't have it."

Lin Nan looked at his father's merciless look and was not in a hurry.

After adding some more wine, he said: "I'm serious about making movies, investing 100,000 yuan to account for 15% of the total.

Just shoot things in the mines. Didn’t my second grandfather get involved in the mines at the beginning? Now I am a college student, from the film school, and this is what I do. "

As he spoke, Lin Nan walked into the house, took out a magazine "October", and turned to a page, "Look at it, just take pictures of the things in this book."

""Sacred Tree"?"

"Yes." Lin Nan replied.

Lao Lin turned over it and stared at it for a long time, feeling a little emotional.

He also graduated from junior high school that year, and eventually became a soldier and learned some knowledge on his own in the army.

"But the money is too much, tens of thousands or ten thousand, I still agree..."

Seeing that his father was showing signs of relenting, Lin Nan worked harder.

"All the teachers at my school knew that I was going to make this movie. I had a hard time winning the role. From now on, this will be my grades. This movie is going to be sold abroad..."

Bala, bala, Lin Nan continued to advocate for another hour.

"Damn it, that's what your father and I have saved for decades. If you die, what will we do for the rest of our lives?"

Despite Lin Nan's repeated assurances and oaths, Old Lintou was defeated by his own son.

Ever since this boy turned sixteen, Old Lintou really felt that he was getting old. His son seemed to have grown up all of a sudden and started to take charge of the family.

The key point is that I got into college, and it was a film school, but it was a shame to Lao Lin's parents.

When his son called and asked for 100,000 yuan, he actually already knew the result, but he still wanted to object.

"You can figure it out. I'll go see your uncles in the next few days. There's no problem with the mine."

Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking care of his old father.

"Da, don't worry. If it doesn't work, I'll do whatever you say in the future..."

"roll roll roll."

Lin Nan stayed at home all night, and got up and prepared to leave the next day.

"Dad, there's news, call my school." Lin Nan got on the train with his father's impatient eyes.

When the train set off, Lao Lin reluctantly walked back.

When he returned to school again, Lin Nan felt that he was crazy tired and the bus ride was very tiring.

"Director Li, yes, I have the money ready. The venue can be decided in the next two days. You can come to the school after the holiday is over..."

After communicating with the director, there was nothing unexpected, but to be on the safe side, Lin Nan thought about coming to school and letting the teacher be a witness.

Lin Nan's teacher also graduated from the school a few years ago, and National Day was also at the school.

Lin Nan briefly explained the matter, and after repeated confirmation, the other party agreed.

"You are so determined, and the teacher can't persuade you, but I still hope you think carefully. After all, there is so much money."

"I have thought about it, and my dad also knows that the director is not a liar. When the time comes, I will come to the school to sign the contract. Teacher, can you find someone to help me check it out."

After receiving a positive reply, Lin Nan returned to the dormitory with confidence.

In this period, it is very difficult to understand that a freshman would invest his own money in a movie, or this kind of underground movie.

Lin Nan only knew that this was a starting point. Although the director would be banned from directing for a few years, everything was worth it, wasn't it?

This resume will make Lin Nan's future path more stable and farther.

The next day, Lin Nan was called to answer the phone. Dad was very fast and picked four abandoned mines and many mines at will.

Lin Nan knew that it was the uncles from his hometown who contributed, and old Lintou's family was one of the few wealthy families in the village.

The holiday came quickly, and Lin Nan spent most of the time on the train.

In the morning, accompanied by the teacher, Lin Nan signed a contract with the director. A teacher from another department in the school accompanied him to see the contract. There was no problem.

Lin Nan's one hundred thousand will arrive within a week.

The rest of the crew is about to leave for Lin Nan's hometown, and Lin Nan is following them.

"Teacher, thank you so much, but there is still something I need your accommodation for." Lin Nan said with a smile, a little embarrassed.

"Is it right to ask for leave? It's only for a month. Come back soon when you're done."

"Promise not to delay."

Teacher Zhou waved his hand, letting Lin Nan go.

Unlike the one next door, the film school agrees to accept the film as it comes. After all, the opportunity is limited, and practice is also a part of the teaching, and it accounts for a large proportion.

This is also beneficial to students’ future development and employment.

Northwest rural areas.

Old Lintou gave Lin Nan money and returned to the provincial capital. Making money was important, and his family was completely ruined by the kid.

The crew pitched a tent not far from the abandoned mining area.

Food and drink are all provided by the village, and the crew only needs to pay. The prices are really cheap.

In this way, the old Lin family in the village felt proud and thought it was a movie still brought by Lin Nan's father to take care of the village.

The crew checked several mines and found one that relatively met the requirements of the script and was safer.

"Lin Nan, come here and tell you about the play."

Several leading actors and directors were sitting around in the tent.

"You play Yuan Fengming. In the play, he is about 16 years old. He is a rural boy. He is simple, naive, studious, inexperienced in the world, and has sincere feelings. This must be shown..."

"Okay, I will try my best to perform well..."

Lin Nan held the script on one side and listened to the director's description of the play, including the two characters Song Jinming and Tang Chaoyang.

This drama is very real and detailed. The initial victim was also named Yuan, and Yuan Fengming's biological father disappeared after going out to work, hinting at a father-son relationship.

It's just that the endings are different, one dies in the end, and the other escapes death in the end.

I read through the script and compared it with the original text of the novel I read before.

This movie is a good movie, with a profound portrayal of human nature and reality. It is indeed an award-winning movie.

However, some of the color content in it made Lin Nan feel guilty. In my memory, this was one of the reasons why it could not be released to the public.

The most important reason is that the criticism of social reality is too direct, and what the movie tells is too real.

It took a day to read the script, and everyone was almost emotionally involved.

The props are almost ready, and we can start filming the scene in the mine the next day.

"Teachers, please take care of me." Lin Nan greeted the two actors who played Tang Chaoyang and Song Jinming. They had been in the industry a few years ago. The former was a martial arts student in Peking Opera and the latter was also a film school graduate.

"Easy to say, he's still my junior brother." Both of them were very easy-going.

Typos are inevitable. If you see them, please point them out and we will correct them as soon as possible. Thank you.
