That year Huayu

As Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang boarded the flight back to Beijing, information about last night's film festival quickly spread across the Internet.

"The award ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival was surprised to see the appearance of the three-yellow-egg best actor. There were few doubts and the recognition was extremely high!"

"Deng Chao and Hao Lei were on the same stage as lovers in the past, but their positions were staggered and there was no communication throughout the whole process. Director Lin was in the middle to smooth things over."

"On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, Director Lin Nan seemed to have once again hinted that signing up for the Golden Rooster unintentionally was actually passive or even forced..."

"It is still unclear whether the roles of bad actors in director Chen Kaige's new film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" will be retained, and it has yet to be released."

…

A large number of actors and stars returned from the capital, making the Capital Airport, which already had a huge flow of people, even more overcrowded.

Because the number of media reporters and fans squatting outside the airport has increased dramatically.

Because of this, Lin Nan and the three of them were able to get into the pick-up car quickly after leaving the airport.

After all, compared to them, the media and fans love those popular and popular "idol superstars" more!

"It only took 15 minutes from getting off the plane to getting on the bus. Wow, this is the first time it has been so fast. Thank you to those 'children'."

Half lying on the seat, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing and teasing. Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were in the same posture, nodding lazily.

"Just now I saw Li Bingbing and the others started to trot, as if they were afraid that if they walked slowly, they would be noticed by the media again."

Not only Li Bingbing, as Shu Chang said, but also other actors and stars who have been famous for a little longer, which one doesn't move quickly?

Only in the past two years, with the advantages of the Internet, artists who have just become popular will "go both ways" with the media and fans!

Just like Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, TF Boys who are still being interviewed outside the airport...

"Okay, let's go home, just in time for lunch."

Liu Yifei said with a smile. She had called Liu Xiaoli before getting on the plane and told her what she wanted to eat for lunch.

"Hmm, I'm hungry too, let's take a moment..."

When he heard about the food, Shu Chang became energetic instantly, and then started chatting with Liu Yifei.

Lin Nan was too lazy to pay attention to them, but turned to his cell phone.

"Manchester by the Sea" has been in theaters for 25 days, and its total box office has reached 550 million. The daily box office is getting lower and lower, and it is already coming to an end.

In the movie market, the most fierce one is still "Jurassic World", which made 1.2 billion in 12 days, unbeatable!

As for other movies?

In addition to the outstanding performance of "Slaying the Wolf 2", which took in 260 million box office in four days, other films such as "Young Class" and "Divergent 2" are all cannon fodder!

At this moment, the summer season is about to kick off, and for the film industry, the real fight has just begun.

…

China Film, Chairman's Office.

After the Magic City International Film Festival ended yesterday, La Peikang rushed back overnight.

"Director Zhang Yimou responded that "The Great Wall" will be completed by the end of this month.

Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures both support holding large-scale media press conferences for the film. As for the time, La Dong, what do you think? "

"Let's set it at the beginning of next month, which coincides with the start of the summer vacation."

After La Peikang made his final decision, he continued to sign the pile of documents in front of him.

After a few seconds, he noticed that the secretary had not left, so he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The secretary hesitated and said uncertainly:

"When I went to the bureau this morning, I saw Yue Jun from Lin Nan Pictures. When I arrived, he was about to leave. I also asked someone to ask, it seemed that he came out of the review window?"

Hearing this, La Peikang immediately became serious, ""Detective Chinatown" was just submitted for trial a few days ago, right?"

"Well, it won't be beaten back so soon. Also, it shouldn't be possible to be beaten back!" the secretary replied firmly.

"New script? Did Yue Jun deliver it in person?"

La Peikang muttered, already having a headache. The answer is obvious, isn't it?

In his opinion, from the moment Lin Nan rejected his kindness and rejected "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ten days ago, his previous guess has been verified, that is: everyone is not as "close" as before. . And those words Lin Nan said on the red carpet yesterday...

"Go to the bureau and ask around. Also, pay attention to what's happening at Lin Nan Pictures."

"Okay, La Dong."

"Why……"

After the secretary left, a sigh sounded in the office.

…

Lin Nan was a little speechless. During lunch, Zhu Yawen booked a "big red envelope" for him!

And this guy specifically emphasized on the phone:

"Don't tell me that you and Yifei are getting married soon. Even if you two are already married, you still have to give it separately. Each of you must give one share.

Shu Chang next to you, don’t laugh either, and you..."

The three of them were sitting in the pavilion in the garden, looking at the buzzing mobile phones on the table, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let's wait until your daughter holds the full moon party."

Liu Yifei interrupted Zhu Yawen with a smile. The last time she gave a red envelope to a child, it was the Xie Nan family's "it doesn't matter"!

"Yes, there will be gold bracelets and gold locks." Shu Chang followed behind and added crisply.

"How's the filming of "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li" going?"

Lin Nan changed the topic and asked about the other party's movies.

"As you ask, the filming just started at the beginning of this month. But we are already halfway through filming, and it will almost be completed in the middle or late next month!"

After hearing this, Lin Nan thought for a while:

"Well, the filming went pretty fast. When it's finished, it will be around the time when your daughter is one month old. Then, let's meet and talk."

"Meet and chat? Okay, you three prepare the gift for my daughter...I still have to call Luo Jin, no one can run away..."

"When did this guy become obsessed with money?"

"No way, now there is a four-legged gold-eating beast! Haha..."

Zhu Yawen said something self-deprecating, but it could be heard from his tone that he was very happy.

After hanging up the phone a few minutes, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and asked coldly: "Are you looking for Zhu Yawen?"

"Can you keep some secrets for me, Producer Liu? You see through it every time! You use all your intelligence and wisdom on me, so just restrain me, right?"

Lin Nan made a sad face and flattered him.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, looked arrogant with a smile, "Humph, if you can't climb my Wuzhishan in this life, I will restrain you!"

"What are you two talking about? Why are you looking for Zhu Yawen? Why can't I understand?" Shu Chang asked his best friend in confusion.

"Oh, you are so stupid. Huh? It seems that Changchang really doesn't know?"

Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang with a naive expression.

More than half an hour later, Lin Nan drove out in his car.

…………

In the afternoon, the film and television industry was still lively.

Those who were still attending the awards ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival yesterday are all busy today, seamlessly.

"Produced by the owner of Enlight Pictures, invested and produced by Deng Chao, starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Liang Chao and others; Deng Chao's second directorial film "Villain Angel" officially started shooting in Beijing this afternoon."

"It is reported that the popular IP "A Little Smile Is Alluring" has announced that it will develop two versions of a film and a TV series at the same time. From now on, the casting will be open to the film and television industry..."

"Starring Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and others, the movie "Rampage in Hollywood" will hold its premiere dinner in Beijing tonight..."

…

Lin Nan went back to the company first, and then went to Golden Shield Film and Television half an hour later with two assistants.

Originally, Yue Jun could be allowed to go, but Lin Nan thought again. After all, it was the leaders above who asked him to come here. It would be better to go there himself and be more sincere.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan arrived at Jindun on time. To be honest, this is his first time here.

The person in charge of the reception received the above notice in advance, and when he saw Lin Nan, he also smiled.

"Director Lin, welcome, director and others are already waiting for you."

"Thanks."

Following each other, Lin Nan and others were taken to the conference room.

Along the way, you can still see people in uniforms coming and going from time to time. They must be here to do business.

The moment they entered the conference room, the three middle-aged people inside stood up.

"Director Lin, we meet again. We met at the Ministry's Publicity Bureau. It was "Police Story 2013" at that time. The leader left you a phone number..."

Lin Nan smiled and shook hands with the leading director, "I remember, it was almost two years before I came."

"To be honest, Director Lin shouldn't have called the department directly, making it seem like we didn't do our job well? Haha..."

Lin Nan couldn't answer these words and could only smile.

It had been so long since he got a business card and two phone calls. In addition, he couldn't tell who was who at the time, and there was no specific position on the business card...

Then, he made a phone call and arrived at the ministry, even passing the Propaganda Bureau. Fortunately, Lin Nan was not frightened to death!

Seeing Lin Nan's embarrassed look, the director of Jindun didn't know what to say, but smiled and asked him to take a seat.

"Director Lin, although there is no big problem, you should let us take a look at the script? At least leave it here."

Faced with this request, Lin Nan certainly would not refuse, and the assistant immediately handed the document bag to the table.

The two people beside the director immediately took it, opened it, and browsed it quickly.

Several cups of tea were served on the table, and Lin Nan was not polite.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the director of Jindun couldn't help but tell Lin Nan:

"Director Lin, in the future, for similar real-life cases, you can bring them here directly without disturbing the department leaders..."

"Okay, I know. Isn't this the first time? It was purely careless and accidental."

Lin Nan also understood what the other party was thinking. It was quite scary to be greeted unexpectedly by someone from above!

The sound of the two chatting didn't seem to affect the people reading the script next to them at all. They still turned over the script very quickly.

The situation of Jindun and Bayi Factory is similar. Function is always the first priority, making money is secondary.

But in general, Jindun is still more profitable than Bayi Factory!

Because the former has a TV series business and is not a so-called "sacred drama", it has a large audience base.

Half an hour later, the script for "Operation Mekong" was closed.

"Director, the script is great. While restoring authenticity, it enhances the drama. It is very positive and has no problems..."

"Director Lin, when it comes to film investment, we have always done our best. After all, it is always difficult to get back the money if the theme is the main theme. If the investment is too large, the pressure will be great."

After the director of Jindun finished speaking, he suddenly made another turn:

"But Director Lin, you are different. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has already set a record... Can I ask what the budget of this movie is? We need to coordinate funds.

After all, Golden Shield is different from other state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. We are a public institution directly under the Ministry of Public Security, and each of our accounts must be meticulously detailed. "

"About 200 million."

Lin Nan gave a rough figure, which was also made by the company.

After hearing this answer, the other party pondered for a moment, "Then how much share can we get?"

Regarding this issue, Lin Nan had already considered it. Golden Shield is not a profit-making unit, so just participate:

"This time there should be 7 producers, controlled by Lin Nan Pictures, and Golden Shield can get 10%."

"10%? This share is quite appropriate..."

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan left Golden Shield Film and Television with his people. The purpose of the trip was finally achieved.

When the project is officially approved and all producers need to sit together, Golden Shield will send someone to Lin Nan Pictures!

…………

The next morning, the time came to the 23rd.

What makes everyone on the Internet, including the film and television entertainment industry, feel that there is a bright future is:

Big A seems to be rebounding? Going up? Although the amplitude is very small and the speed is very slow, it is indeed turning upward! The Internet immediately went crazy!

The stock investors who have been gritting their teeth and holding on, shouting that experts are experts, are indeed right!

And many of those who sold out early and ran away are hurriedly covering their positions again!

Of course, many people are hesitant and hesitant. Greed and fear are fighting in their hearts.

Compared with ordinary people, those listed companies are truly relieved.

Lin Nan could imagine the feelings of Hua Yi and the two of them. They should be so "touched" that they almost cried, right? After all, the market value has dropped by 75 billion!

However, when the stock market is "cheering", there is also a lack of extremely attractive information in the entertainment industry, especially news about the opening of a new company.

"In the morning, Taiyang Chuanhe held a high-profile media signing conference. Well-known young actors from the mainland, such as Zhou Dongyu, Chen He, Yang Ying and others, officially signed with Taiyang Chuanhe and became its actors and artists."

"It is reported that Taiyang Chuanhe was established in December last year. The founders and management of the company are all members of the Yang Ying Studio team of the original Huayi Artist Agency, and they are all senior practitioners in the industry."

"According to informed sources, Huang Xiaoming once provided start-up capital for Taiyang Chuanhe and is a shareholder of the company. The specific shareholding ratio is unknown..."

…

Looking at the news on the Internet, Lin Nan felt a little emotional.

A characteristic of the high-remuneration era is that entertainment agencies are blooming everywhere! Because everyone knows that artist management business is very profitable!

"The signing conference was held as a luncheon over there, and the invitations were sent to Hongxingwu."

Liu Yifei walked to Lin Nan with the cat in her arms.

"Aren't the guests invited by this kind of company without production capabilities mainly producers and film and television companies? Who made you a big producer? Lin Nan Pictures also received an invitation letter, and it was Huang Xiaoming's The assistant delivered it personally!"

Lin Nan joked.

Looking at this situation, the leader is a large shareholder, and Yang Ying is not much different from the proprietress.

This is a company specifically supported to flatter his wife!

"Oh, by the way, we have to prepare for the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" on the 27th."

Liu Yifei reminded Lin Nan with a teasing tone.

Because Shu Chang was "driven away" by Lin Nan using this excuse. It seemed like no one could see his thoughts.

"Well, Lu Yang called me. This is the second part of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series. It took 15 months from the start to the release. We must pay attention to it. He also wants to get at least 500 million as a guarantee. Where’s the box office!”

"500 million? It should be no problem." Liu Yifei asked softly.

“The market for period martial arts movies is already sluggish, and Lu Yang is already one of the most outstanding directors in this field.

There is only one Xu Ke above him, but what sells Xu Ke's ancient martial arts movies is not the plot at all, but the special effects!

Therefore, Lu Yang is almost the first person in ancient costume martial arts movies.

With his influence, coupled with the box office appeal of Lin Nan Pictures, and my script - 500 million box office, it is not a big problem! Besides, the quality of the movie is also very high. "

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he thought of Chen Kaige again.

One of "Xiuchundao 2" and "Taoist Descending the Mountain" is destined to "die", and the latter obviously does not have the upper hand in terms of public opinion...

…

As June is coming to an end, all summer movies in July have entered their final state of readiness.

At this time, "Westward Journey to the West 3: The Final Chapter" also officially announced the starring lineup, making headlines and hot searches.

Han Geng, Tang Yan, Wu Gan, Xie Nan... Mo Wenwei, Hu Jing...

Let’s not talk about whether subsequent movies will be bad or not. Anyway, this cast is indeed “nonsensical”!

The Internet is hotly discussing: How will "Wolf Warrior" play "Tang Monk"? Like the violent monk in Zhao Wenzhuo's "Green Snake"?

But the one who gets the most complaints is He Jiong’s Erlang Shen...

light.

Wang Changtian invited Lin Nan over for tea. He said it was tea, but in fact it was about the release of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "The Return of the Great Sage", as well as "Running Man 3".

Lao Wang has become "treacherous" from a long time ago. He has never done that kind of thing like setting the issuance fee at a fixed price; to be precise, he has never agreed to it again!

Fortunately, even if the issuance fee is charged proportionally, it is still at a high discount.

After all, Lin Nan Pictures' distribution business has always been of great help to Enlight's stock price.

"The second season will end on the 3rd of next month. Just be clear and don't cut it this time. Last time it was cut from 30% to 20%!"

Lao Wang took the initiative to pour tea for Lin Nan with a smile on his face.

"But for "Running Man 3", our company is indeed capable of producing it independently! How about 10%?"

Lin Nan pretended to be airy and did not let go.

"Oh, 10%? If you give me 10% this time, will there be no light next time?"

Lao Wang's reaction was quite quick. Lin Nan did think about it a long time ago, but only for a moment.

"That's not 5%, just take your time. Haha..."

"Director Lin, the lighting is not from China Film and Television. Are you going to do this?"

Wow, they arrived here in such a hurry. Lin Nan was speechless and stopped joking. He waved his hand: "Dr. Wang, it's still 20%."

Since the Golden Rooster incident happened at the beginning of the year, Lin Nan has changed a lot of his thoughts, including the cooperation with Guangguang on "Running Man"; after all, they are core allies, and it is impossible to live alone!

"Well, 20% is fine. I'm just afraid that you're going to do nothing but give me nothing! The stock market is not doing well right now. If we lose another big business, the light will be miserable!"

Wang Changtian leaned there and said sadly.

"Director Wang, you really think too much. I can't do anything like killing a donkey."

Lin Nan picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, then suddenly said: "This time, give 15% light."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian immediately raised his head: "Operation Mekong?"

"Well, that's right. I have already negotiated with Jindun. At that time, everyone should go to my company to sit down and get together and meet..."

"How many are they?"

"5% less than light."

Wang Changtian paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Are you afraid that China Film Group will make a noise this time?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"That's right. Your Crystal Pictures films are originally approved. As long as they don't involve imported films, it seems that you really can't get help from China Film Group. However, will they release the film to block you?"

"What I'm saying is that we don't mean to break up the relationship and become enemies. Where can we still use public weapons for private use? Even Director Han wouldn't dare to do it so openly! Huh? No! Director Han seems to have messed with Hua Yi two or three times!

But don't worry, I'm different from those two guys. If I fall at the feet of foreign-language films, then my colleagues in China will die even more miserably. Because my movies will basically be placed in big schedules, haha..."

…………

Film Bureau, review department.

Among the hundreds of newly arrived scripts, a group of people spotted the one submitted by Lin Nan Pictures at a glance.

After all, the four words "Screenwriter: Lin Nan" are so dazzling - winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay!

""Operation Mekong"? You can tell what the script is just by looking at the name. He is also becoming more and more bold. Is this the same as "Operation Mekong"? Mekong... has only been a few years ago?!"

"He is a great director, so leave him plenty of room for preferential treatment, and the rest will follow the process. Control the social impact of the movie script. If there are really uncontrollable risks, just follow the rules."

"The room for preferential treatment? How big is the room for preferential treatment given to him? Among mainland directors, he is now the first one. There is no standard!"

"According to Director Kai Ge's standards?"

As soon as these words came out, the huge office instantly became quiet, and many old men immediately knew what was going on.

Chen Kaige enjoys the most lenient censorship among domestic directors at the moment, far more than Zhang Yimou, just like the problem with "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

"Then treat Lin Nan according to Director Kai Ge's standards."

"He, he is only in his early thirties..."

"But his grades have already arrived, and there's nothing he can do to push back..."

"Jian, I still don't believe it! How dare you hand in this kind of script!"

"Then give priority to this book "Operation Mekong", and let me see how good he is this time..."

…

A group of people chatted for a long time, and most of them were a little scornful of Lin Nan's submission of this kind of script.

Because this incident happened just a few years ago, it still has a great influence on "public opinion"...even the mainstream media did not dare to report it.

And most of the old guys in charge of review also want to find fault with Lin Nan, the Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Oscar Best Director.
