"Let me think about it..."

"Okay, Director Wang will reply to me as soon as possible. Since I have decided on a director, I won't wait too long."

In fact, Lin Nan could roughly guess Wang Changtian's subsequent reply, and there was a high probability that he would not follow him this time.

What Lin Nan didn't expect was that the first person to make it clear that he would not participate would be Shanghai Film Academy.

"Lin Nan, if you were to be the director, the group wouldn't have a problem with it, but as a newcomer, I can't convince others."

Although Ren Zhonglun was the top executive at Shanghai Film Academy, he was actually the first deputy director at the moment, and was not as consistent as Han Sanping at China Film Academy.

"Okay, then I hope to cooperate with Shanghai Film Studio next time."

"Well, next time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head. It seemed that there was really no fate between Shanghai Film and Television and "Painted Skin".

The last phone call went smoothly. Ye Ning didn't think much about it and just agreed decisively.

"Our two families have been cooperating for so long. This matter is not a problem. It's just a little money. Just call me when the quota is determined."

After a round, Wanda was the most straightforward! This was also what Lin Nan expected.

He estimated that even if Wanda knew that the movie would lose money, it would most likely still invest without hesitation! That would not be investing in movies, but investing in favors.

…

With the first film as a reference, the following departments quickly worked out the budget for "Painted Skin 2".

"Director Lin, we have set the budget at 100 million."

Lin Nan remembers that during the first film, he was able to reduce the cost to 80 million, but several investors asked him to do it at 100 million.

"Sure?"

"Because we do the special effects part ourselves, 100 million is almost the same."

"Set it at 120 million. Tiangong Color also has to make money." Lin Nan ordered.

"Okay, Director Lin."

…

As Lin Nan guessed, Wang Changtian gave up the investment in "Painted Skin 2".

Now, including Lin Nan Pictures, there are only five investors.

…

Because there are fewer signed artists now, Yue Jun is in charge of Shanhai Media.

At this moment, Zeng Jia was talking to Yue Jun, who was reading the script.

"I will ask Director Lin if there is enough time, just take it."

Yue Jun returned the script in his hand with a strange expression on his face.

"Director Yue, I'll leave it to you."

Zeng Jia left Yue Jun's office without asking any questions.

"This is really interesting, haha..."

After muttering something, Yue Jun stood up and went to find Lin Nan.

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Nan now believed in fate a little bit.

Some things are yours as they should be, and you can't hide them.

Just like the script invitation Yang Mi received.

"How long did they say it would take to turn it on?"

"It's almost like mid-July to the end of July."

Lin Nan nodded. In his opinion, this time was absolutely fine.

"Painted Skin 2" will start shooting in late May at the latest. The role planned for Yang Mi is just a supporting role, and it can definitely be completed within a month.

"Tell Zeng Jia that I can take it and it won't conflict with "Painted Skin 2"."

"Um."

…………

On the other side, Zeng Jia had just arrived at Yang Mi's residence when the call came.

"What's wrong, Jiajia?"

Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia who looked surprised and asked.

"Director Yue said you can take part in that TV series."

Yang Mi was happy at first, then a little worried, "What about "Painted Skin 2"?"

"Haha, don't worry, Director Yue also said that this TV series will not conflict with "Painted Skin 2". Do you understand what that means?"

At this moment, Yang Mi felt like the end of her suffering was the end of her suffering.

"I understand, I understand, it means I have a role in "Painted Skin 2"! Haha... Come on, come out, I'll treat you."

…………

Watching the live broadcast of the Bazaar Charity Night on Sina, Lin Nan regretted not flying to Shanghai with Liu Yifei.

On the red carpet, Miss Liu wore a golden dress, which was very eye-catching.

It looks really good, but Lin Nan always feels uncomfortable...

"Yifei, why didn't you see Director Lin today?"

A reporter asked in an interview.

"He is busy with work and cannot spare time today. I will donate on his behalf."

Liu Yifei looks elegant in front of the camera.

"Work? Is it "Painted Skin 2"?"

A reporter responded quickly and asked questions hurriedly.

"Well, yes."

Liu Yifei replied that she had nothing to hide. This was originally Lin Nan's explanation, and it was just revealed to the outside world.

A group of reporters are very excited. This news is no less important than tonight's charity night.

…

I said I would write three chapters today, but I actually tried my best and only wrote a little over two chapters.

Unfortunately, it seems that I won't be able to write it before 12 o'clock. I will continue tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
