Besides, Pujiang around Christmas will be as cold and windy as Beijing, and the north wind will blow people like a knife.

The truth is, the Pujiang River is very warm.

] More and more towering buildings block the cold current, and the vigorous young people enjoy the last residual heat brought by the autumn tiger.

He took off his windbreaker, and stepped out of the car with shiny leather shoes. After that, Fang Nan appeared in front of everyone in a black suit.

"Mr. Fang!"

"boss!"

"Brother Nan!"

Fang Nan glanced at a group of bosses who warmly greeted him with all kinds of names, and couldn't help laughing, "They're all old acquaintances, some of them have been together for more than ten years, how come they suddenly became regular?"

Everyone smiled and played sloppy eyes, but Yan Hong stepped forward and said in a daze: "No rules, no rules, and now it's not the grass-roots team it used to be."

She and Fang Nan met in Houhai Bar Street.

More than 10 years ago, on a bar street in Houhai, Fang Nan was a young man full of legends who sang out of tune.

More than 10 years later, Fang Nan still looks very young, but he was invited by the US President to participate in the 2014 State of the Union Address. Regardless of the source of the hero, Fang Nan deserves the highest standard of treatment from the company.

What's more, everyone who is working is working for Fang Nan.

"It's not a grass-roots team anymore, don't be so serious, what should you do, focus on the company's development, and don't engage in welcoming and sending."

After expressing his resistance to the reception, Fang Nan laughed at himself and said, "The person in charge of the Douyin Awards Ceremony will stay and introduce the ceremony process to me. This is my first time participating."

"Fangnan Culture is in charge of the overall process. Artist Cinemas provided the venue, the Bund Cultural Palace, and Hu Wen's publicity and public relations team was responsible for assisting."

Fang Nan nodded and said, "Yan Hong, Hu Wen, the manager of the Cultural Palace, and the film selection director, let's go to the conference room and chat slowly."

He always bears in mind that he has been a martial artist and a director for two lifetimes combined, so movies will always be what he is most interested in.

In terms of business, I don’t like to hear about how many stores have been opened, financial reports, and the operation of branch companies outside the country.

A group of people entered the conference room of Tangtang Film and Television. Fang Nan took the teacup handed over by the secretary after sitting down at the main seat, nodded at several people, and said with great interest: "The judges are not here, please tell me which films were shortlisted first. won several awards for best film."

"There are not many good films this year. The five films shortlisted for the best film are "The Grandmaster" directed by Wong Kar-wai, "No Man's Land" directed by Lin Hao, "Journey to the West" directed by Zhou Xingxing, and "Journey to the West" directed by Jia Kechang. "A Touch of Sin" and "Guild War" directed by Lam Chiu-hsien."

Fang Nan pressed his chin against the lid of the teacup, and asked curiously, "The movies in Taiwan are so hip, you can't even get the nomination qualification?"

"Uh, at the Venice Film Festival in September, "Outing" directed by Tsai Ming-liang won the special jury award, but "Outing" was not screened in the mainland, and the box office was less than 9 million yuan, so it was impossible to sign up for the Douyin ceremony awards. In Taiwan The box office is not high either.”

"This is the only Taiwanese movie that signed up for the competition?" Fang Nan rubbed his chin and asked again.

"There is another "Flowering", but it has only been nominated for one, and the possibility of winning is very low."

Fang Nan thought over and over again, and finally said: "Set up a special award for "Outing". In the future, the special award will only be awarded to the best films with a box office of less than 500 million. Go ahead."

The director of the film selection said a lot.

After Fang Nan concluded, the five films that were shortlisted for the best picture, plus "To Our Dying Youth" and "The Capital Meets Seattle" will be the big winners tomorrow night.

"Lost in Hong Kong", "Di Renjie: The Dragon King", "New Police Story", "Drug Wars", "The Best Detective", "A Romantic Story", "Zombie", "The Cook, The Actor, and the Ruffian" may win A prize or two.

Fang Nan asked a few people: "How many crews and actors are there for the second awards ceremony, and how many films from the mainland, Taiwan, Taiwan and the three regions signed up for participation at that time?"

"The nominated crews will basically come. After all, we provide air tickets. The only problem is that there are too many people. There are a lot of films that have signed up for the competition, with a total of 232 films. I have all the films nominated for the first round of awards."

Fang Nan took Yan Hong's A4 paper and looked at it:

"No Man's Land", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Little Times", "Private Order", "Lost in Hong Kong", "The Storm".

"The Great Master", "Drug Wars", "Tianji Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "The Capital Meets Seattle", "White Fox".

"Full Name Witness", "Di Renjie's Dragon King", "Escape from Heaven", "Control", "I Want to Be Good with You", "Special Identity".

"Waiting for the Wind", "Dear" starring Yu Nan directed by Li Xinman, "The Best Detective", "Broken Contract", and "A Romantic Story".

"Cook, Actor, Ruffian", "Partner", "Flower", "To Our Lost Youth", "Zombie", "Outing", "Guild War".

The 29 films on the paper almost include nearly 50 popular directors and stars from the mainland, Taiwan and Taiwan.

Fang Nan pressed the document under his palm and asked about the process of the awards show.

After learning that Yan Hong, Hu Wen and the others had arranged the reception of guests, the sequence of the red carpet, the party program, media Q&A, and safe exit, etc., in an orderly and meticulous manner, Fang Nan sincerely praised them.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions in the future, just let you do it yourself, I will attend on time tomorrow." Fang Nan stood up relieved.

It was getting dark when we left Tangtang Film and Television. Fang Nan ate in the cafeteria, then sent Xiao Zhu and the others to walk alone on Xiaojia Road to the Oriental Film Capital.

Seeing that he was at the door of his house, there was a burst of laughter. He took two quick steps and took a closer look. Good guys, Zhang Yimou, Wang Jiawei, Du Qifeng, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Jiahui, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhao Benshan and others were placed next to his house Chatting in front of the empty house.

Seeing Fang Nan, Zhao Benshan pointed at him, "Hey, the master is back."

Fang Nan teased the people standing outside the house with their hips akimbo: "What wind brings such a group of great directors and stars?"

Ge You's mouth was sharp, and he spoke quickly: "Hi, the south wind, the northwest wind is not so evil!"

Everyone laughed instantly.

Anyway, Lao Mouzi stepped forward.

The crew of "The Great Wall" chose to place the interior scene behind the Oriental Movie Metropolis, and the scenic spot also arranged a two-bedroom apartment for him, which happened to be next to Fang Nan's home.

Zhao Benshan and his group are here to participate in tomorrow's Douyin Awards Ceremony.

The reason why they met was that some came to visit the crew of "The Great Wall", and some wanted to visit the Oriental Movie Metropolis, which was about to be completed.

Then he invited them all to his home and thought about making two cups.

It is a rare opportunity to gather so many friends from the same industry.

Therefore, every awards ceremony is a social gathering of friends in the entertainment industry.

"Come here too, a vegetarian feast is prepared at home."

"I'm done eating in the cafeteria, so I won't bother you, Director Du, knock on the door before you go, let's talk about something." After rejecting Lao Mouzi, Fang Nan extended an invitation to Du Qifeng who remained silent.

"Just say what's important."

After thinking about it, Fang Nan found that there was nothing to be shy about talking about, so he said directly: "Success, do you want to go to Hollywood for a while? "John Wick 2" lacks a director, are you interested in this subject? "

Johnnie To's directorial style deviates from the theme style of "John Wick".

But he was the only director Fang Nan could think of to take over the "John Wick" series. After Wu Baige was passed, only Johnnie To remained.

There is also an unknown and deeper intention.

Johnnie To is the only Hong Kong director who is still obsessed with making Hong Kong films, and who can deliver both quality and quantity.

The Hong Kong films he invests in and shoots every year for Galaxy Image prop up more than half of Hong Kong's market.

For Fang Nan and the Xiangjiang International Film Festival, this is a big deal, and it is like a stick in the throat.

Fang Nan not only allows Hong Kong films to exist, but is even willing to help Hong Kong films to flourish.

But it shouldn't be when he integrates the film and television resources of the three places across the Taiwan Strait to fight against Hollywood blockbusters.

He wanted to shrink the film and television resources, manpower, and connections of the three regions into one fist, but some filmmakers in Hong Kong had to show their middle finger, which was too easy to be broken and took up resources.

So he wanted to get Johnnie To to stay in Hollywood for a few years.

A few years later, they recalled Hong Kong movies together.

A few years later, they promoted Hong Kong films together.

"I don't like "John Wick", it's too showy." Du Qifeng said bluntly.

Fang Nan smiled and nodded: "I can tell, but the cost of the first "John Wick" was 1300 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office of 1.8 million U.S. dollars is equivalent to more than 10 billion yuan. I think the box office of the second movie will not be bad."

"So, rather than saying that I am asking you to make "John Wick", it is better to say that I am giving you a chance to bring excellent films such as "Gunfire", "Exile", and "Revenge" to the global stage."

After a long time, Du Qifeng frowned and said, "I'll think about it."

Fang Nan wasn't chasing and beating, everyone was a smart person, needless to say too much, he could see the gains and losses.

Lao Mouzi's house was open for dinner, Fang Nan glanced at it, it was really a vegetarian feast, the table was full of people eating vegetables, drinking Wuliangye, of course, occasionally a spoonful of caviar.

"Damn, as for what, the fine for superbirth is more than 600 million." Fang Nan murmured that he told himself a joke and left voluntarily.

The next day.

Just after lunch, Fang Nan took the initiative to go to the hotel designated by the Douyin Awards Ceremony.

When he arrived at the place, he first went up to the office building of the artist theater to have a look.

It's okay, the management of the artist, big and small, and the ordinary staff still know him, and they haven't forgotten who is the boss just because he is in the most prosperous Bund in Pujiang.

"I drank a lot last night, let's leave in the middle of the night." Fang Nan asked with a smile when he bumped into Zhao Benshan at the door of the hotel.

"I'm old, and my health is not good. I drank half of it and left early."

"Old? I remember Lao Mouzi is older than you."

"He has so much energy that I can't match."

Fang Nan smiled and didn't speak again. Zhao Benshan had been away from the Spring Festival Gala for two years, and the audience calling for him to come back was countless.

To get to the bottom of the reason, the body is one aspect.

The more reason is probably that I don't want to preach, otherwise, what would I do so diligently on other satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.

CCTV's ratings coverage is wide and the pressure is high, but other satellite TVs are poor?
not necessarily.

Fang Nan frowned and got on the elevator.

"Everyone says that my hair turned gray early. According to your situation, I don't think you are much worse than me."

"It's okay, it will take at least a few decades to get from the local to the central." Fang Nan chuckled.

In a few days, he will be 35 years old, and it is not uncommon to have one and a half white hairs.

After all, the stall at home is big, and there are many things to pay attention to, which takes a lot of brainpower.

Probably due to the good organization, the guests who participated in the Douyin Video Awards Ceremony seldom procrastinated. Fang Nan and the two entered the corridor and saw many celebrity guests.

Zhang Zhiling and Yuan Yongyi opened the door of the room while they were putting on makeup, and at the same time they chatted meanly with the actors Huang Xiaoming and Angela of "A Romantic Story".

Zhao Yanzi, the director of "To Our Dying Youth", impatiently directs Jiang Shuying and several young actors.

Liu Sishi shuttled between the crews of "The Best Detective" and "Little Times".

Ni Ni didn't give up too much, she was running back and forth between the four crews of "I Want to Be Good with You", "Little Times", "Killing Ring", and "Waiting for the Wind".

Gu Yanle directly combined the two dramas "Drug War" and "Escape from the Sky".

In addition, Liu Dehua, a model worker, is also very busy. He starred in "Di Renjie: Dragon King", "Tianji Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", and "Storm".

There are also Huang Bo, Yu Nan, Yao Chen, etc. each have at least two or three plays.

Fang Nan took a rough look at the upper two floors of the hotel, and estimated that there would be hundreds of guests on the red carpet in the afternoon, and they were all well-known male and female celebrity directors.

"There were so many people last year?" He asked Yan Hong.

"No."

"If it goes well tonight, people will probably be jealous of it later."

Yan Hong smiled disdainfully: "That's too funny, why don't we make it worse and intentionally screw up to highlight certain award ceremonies?"

Fang Nan's brows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "That's right, go get busy, I'll take care of anything."

Saying goodbye to Yan Hong, Fang Nan met with seven judges, and the lineup was empty. Lao Mouzi and Zhao Benshan were impressively on the list, as well as Hu Huizhong [Cheng Long unit], Xu Anhua, Zhang Fengyi, Chen Kun, the hit girl from the early years. , Su Youpeng.

The seven directors and actors are 5 men and 2 women, of which three are from domestic entertainment, two are from Hong Kong, and two are from Taiwan.

"Don't be afraid of being scolded by the audience."

Zhao Benshan patted Lao Mouzi: "What are you afraid of? There is a big brother standing in front of him. He is the chairman of the judges."

"No matter what, thank you all." After thanking everyone sincerely, Fang Nan asked the seven judges to go downstairs to the car and head to the red carpet.

On the afternoon of Christmas Day, the Huangpu River was so crowded that it affected the traffic.

The Artists Cultural Palace was surrounded by audiences on the inner, outer and outer floors, and the scene was filled with banners and tsunami.

Under the spotlight as bright as day, the seven judges of the [-]nd Douyin Video Awards Ceremony stepped on the red carpet leading to the Cultural Palace one by one.

On the red carpet, the smiles of the seven judges were clearly visible, probably because Zhao Benshan said something funny, Lao Mouzi and Zhang Fengyi's laughter even made the audience in the front row appreciate the back molars.

Lao Mouzi has changed from being fined more than 600 million yuan some time ago.

Even though Hu Huizhong, the former hit girl, is getting older, the heroism between her brows has not diminished in the slightest. With Director Xu Anhua, the smiles that the two show from time to time are like spring breeze.

Compared with the first four judges who talked and laughed happily and had a light body, Su Youpeng and Chen Kun's red carpet show at the end seemed quite satisfactory, and they only got fans screaming in black suits.

After the judges, Cheng Long appeared with the actors of "New Police Story".

The award ceremony has a Cheng Long unit, and he is destined to be a regular guest at the ceremony.

In the subsequent red carpet show, it was the turn of the long-established Hong Kong actors to compete with mainland florets.

Husband and wife, brothers, and sisters added infinite excitement to the scene like a whirlwind, and finally reached a climax after Fang Nan stepped on the red carpet.

"Fang Nan!"

"Fang Nan!"

"Fang Nan!"

"Fang Nan."

What Fang Nan has done in recent years is obvious to all. Today, big-name celebrities from the two sides of the strait and three places will gather on the banks of the Huangpu River. If you want to ask him what he has done for domestic entertainment, the film and television industry.

Ordinary viewers who watch the fun may feel it, but it's hard to say.

But the media at the scene had a clear feeling.

Fang Nan is promoting the domestic film industry on his own.

Fang Nan is using his own strength to create an awards ceremony where no outsiders or his own people will laugh at him, there will not be so many disputes, and artists from both sides of the strait and the three regions will live in harmony.

Fang Nan is doing a great cause that no one has ever done or even dared to think about!

"what happened to you?"

Someone asked a companion.

"There's a wind blowing along the river, blowing my eyes!"
