That year Huayu

Chapter 8 Make your own script

"Did you really invest?"

Zhu Yawen asked in a low voice with a smile.

Lin Nan could only nod, he couldn't hide it. Director Li Yang specifically thanked himself above and mentioned investment.

"How much did the movie sell for? How much can you get?"

Looking at Zhu Yawen who looked curious, Lin Nan shook his head and said, "Director Li was talking about it when I came back, but there is no result yet."

Zhu Yawen was a little disappointed when she got this answer.

"My old classmate asked me to remind you when I see you that you should go to her to sell your leave as soon as you come back, and you can't miss school in the afternoon."

Lin Nan had a grimace on his face. He had originally planned to take a nap in the afternoon, but now he had no choice.

Everyone who knew Lin Nan in the corridor was saying hello, and it was obvious that someone with a big mouth was spreading the word on Lin Nan's behalf.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm here to cancel the leave."

"Hey, I'm back from Berlin." Teacher Zhou said jokingly.

"came back."

"Now that I'm back, I'll go to class in the afternoon. The next art exam will be held soon. You and Zhu Yawen will maintain order on the spot. Your senior brothers and sisters won't have time."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back first."

"Go ahead."

It was really unlucky to encounter a young man being arrested as soon as he came back.

There is no performance class in the afternoon, it is a cultural class.

Walking into the classroom with Zhu Yawen, they saw the long-lost fairy.

"Xiao Linzi, a gift for you."

Lin Nan subconsciously took it. It was a pen. Well, it was a foreign brand.

"What are you doing? By the way, "Tianlong" has been completed." Lin Nan then remembered that Miss Wang had finished filming and had time to go back to school.

"Yeah, except for some magazines, everything will be fine." Sixteen-year-old Liu Yifei's voice was very clear, sounding like the light touch of jade.

"You give in, and others will return the favor." Zhu Yawen was nagging at the side, which earned Liu Yifei a blank look. She looked cute and cute.

"Sissi, let's give way." Lin Nan's tone was very soft. Liu Yifei like this had never dared to think that she was so fierce.

No matter what time or place, there is always a circle.

In this classroom, Liu Yifei is the youngest, and her circle only includes Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen, and Jiang Yiyan. Because she rarely comes to school, the others are a little cold towards her, and maybe they are jealous. .

The teachers in the class also lamented that every year, when school starts in February, more students arrive. The rest of the time, no matter how old they are, they are running outside.

Some time ago, "The Secret of the City" started filming, and before the winter vacation, Zhu Yawen took Lin Nan to audition.

The result is obvious, both of them were dismissed. Zhu Yawen is still a little aggrieved to this day, because he is not an action actor.

This drama was full of cannibalism from beginning to end, and Lin Nan was deeply impressed by it. It was rarely remade in the future, unlike "The Condor", which was rewatched over and over again.

"I plan to wait for director Li Yang to sell the film and then get the money to make a movie by myself."

This is what Lin Nan said to Zhu Yawen while eating in the cafeteria at noon.

Lao Zhu almost choked to death, and he coughed for a long time, "Are you crazy? How much money can you get, and you still make your own movie."

Zhu Yawen didn't expect that her best friend would have such unrealistic ideas.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Zhu Yawen confirmed again.

"right."

Looking at the determined Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen realized that Lin Nan was serious.

"What subject matter? Is there a script? Actors, director, production team?"

Lin Nan raised his head and said, "The script is being written at a small cost. Do you think our school will be short of directors and actors? There will be seniors everywhere looking for opportunities. There are a few seniors in the directing department who have the opportunity to make films. , if I give them a chance, can they not snatch this place?"

Lin Nan said confidently.

"That's right, think about me when you have the chance."

Lin Nan nodded. It depends on which script he plans to copy or write in the next two days.

At that time, I will probably have to find the senior brothers and sisters in the literature department to correct me.

After that day, Lin Nan painfully reviewed the memories in his mind.

I once watched countless serious films in Hengdian in order to strike up conversations with those actresses.

Domestic and foreign, literary films, science fiction films, commercial films.

Famous actors and directors have watched it.

It's just that it's really difficult to think back now. Although I had said one thing when I had sex with those women, I had to write it out and turn it into a script.

Lin Nan scratched his head all night and finally decided to copy "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". In America, the production cost may be very high.

But it's different in China. Prices are incomparable. I guess Li Yang should be able to give himself one or two million.

Berlin's award-winning films should be worth this amount of money if sold to Europe.

Lin Nan spent another two days and one night perfecting his so-called script.

Maybe there are holes in it.

Now that I think about it, Ruth is still so beautiful during this time.

When I closed the script, I saw five block letters on the front page: "Nuan Nuan Contains Light".

Lin Nan made localized modifications to it.

On March 3, Director Li Yang returned to China.

When interviewed by the media, he said that "The Blind Shaft" is by no means an "underground film." Although it did not represent the country in the Berlin Film Festival, it cannot change that it is a local film.

Lin Nan knew that Li Yang wanted to release the movie in China, and he also prepared four endings for the movie.

But this still cannot change the General Administration's mind.

"Lin Nan, the film rights have been sold, and it is still very popular in Europe."

It's time to reveal the results. Based on a 15% investment share, converted into domestic currency, Lin Nan can get 3.38 million.

But a terrible thing was forgotten by Lin Nan. When he signed the contract, it was in his own name.

That means tax rates.

"I feel so bad." Lin Nan scratched his chest and said with a wry smile.

Li Yang probably thought of it a long time ago.

"When I signed the contract, I didn't expect to win any prizes. But then I got out of control, and then I remembered that you signed the contract personally. If you will invest in movies in the future, I suggest you set up a company."

Lin Nan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better get a studio."

Lin Nan took out the newly written script from his bag and said, "Director Li, please help me take a look."

Li Yang accepted it doubtfully, "Script?"

As he spoke, he began to browse through the pages at a slow pace, reading ten lines at a time.

In about twenty minutes, he finished reading.

"Romance movies, from my point of view, are a good script, but I'm not suitable for this kind of movie."

Li Yang knows very well that he is suitable for movies with realistic themes, which are more realistic.

"If there is a shortage of investment then, you can tell me. The people I know are very willing to invest in romantic and artistic films, but they are not interested in my films."

Li Yang laughed at himself.

"But that won't necessarily happen in the future. Your first movie that wasn't well received was the Silver Bear."

"I hope so."

The next day, Lin Nan and Li Yang's assistant went to make the payment and paid the tax.

Lin Nan had over 1.8 million lying in his bankbook, which made him feel extremely distressed.

Li Yang's assistant looked at Lin Nan with strong envy.

Today's 1.89 million is beyond the reach of many people.

Lin Nan called his father and told him about the incident. The old man was just so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Especially when Lin Nan said that he was going to invest in a movie next, the old man had nothing to say, "I just said to keep a hundred thousand to protect the capital. Don't spend money lavishly. I'm old enough. Let's see if we can find a wife." .”

After chatting with his father for more than half an hour, Lin Nan died.

In my last life, I never got married because of my father's heartache. Now I hear these words again, how kind it is.

Lin Nan went back to school and was going to ask the teacher for help.

When he heard that Lin Nan had finished the script and had 1.8 million in funding, Teacher Zhou, who was less than thirty years old, was speechless.

"Teacher, don't look like this. I'm here to ask for your help."

This was not the first time that Teacher Zhou was surprised by Lin Nan's operation, "The dividends from "Blind Well"?"

"Yes, Director Li said the script is very good, but he is not suitable for this genre."

Finally, Lin Nan was taken to the office areas of the directing department and photography department teachers.

When they heard that Lin Nan, a freshman, wanted to invest 1.8 million, some teachers' eyes lit up.

But after all, he was a role model, so he advised Lin Nan that investing in movies was a risky business and it was easy to lose money.

Lin Nan couldn't tell them that this movie would most likely make money.

It combines soft science fiction with romance and some comedy elements. With the amount of people watching the film at this stage, it will definitely not lose money.

A teacher was very professional and made a budget for Lin Nan.

Even if all the students are recruited from the school, whether they are actors or directors, they will do photography, editing and so on.

But 1.8 million is definitely not enough. Even if it is rougher, it will still have to be 3 million as a base and 4 million as insurance points.

So, I still have to find an investment of at least 1.2 million? The more the merrier?

"If you can find enough investment, I can recommend a director to you. One month should be enough." This is what a teacher in the photography department said to Lin Nan.

As for photography, not to mention, the photography department of Beijing Film Academy is really amazing.

In Lin Nan's opinion, the directing department is really miserable. Other literature departments, photography departments, performance departments, and even the fine arts department are constantly coming to take over the directing department's jobs.

But when it came to investing money, he really had no choice but to contact Li Yang.

"Director Li, I really need your help regarding film investment."

Li Yang seemed to have thought for a while, "I'll make an appointment for you to ask someone, and I'll probably let you know tomorrow.

Nowadays, state-owned enterprises such as China Film and Television are generally considered first when seeking investment in movies. "

Li Yang paused and then said, "But China Film will never invest in you as a freshman, because firstly, you are not a director, and secondly, you have no successful results, even if you have a good script."

Lin Nan wanted to say, brother, do you want to hit me to death?

Maybe he thought Lin Nan was angry, so he laughed loudly on the other end of the phone.

"I'll help you arrange an interview with someone from Shanghai Film Academy. If they ask, just say I'm the producer. This is the only way I can help you, brother. I hope this silver bear we just got can help you."

"Thank you, brother. I can't thank you enough for my brother, haha." Lin Nan walked down the slope and recognized his elder brother, even though there was a big age difference.

Please support, thank you.
