That year Huayu

The China Film Group's listing celebration reception is naturally the top social occasion in the film and television industry.

Zhang Yimou took Zhang Mo to meet all the big capitals, big directors, and big producers in the industry one by one; as an old father, his attitude was very humble.

In sharp contrast to Director Zhang is the family of Director Chen next door.

Chen Kaige is a bit arrogant, maybe he can't let go of his face, or even feels embarrassed? So Chen Hong took Chen Feiyu to walk around the venue.

But think about it, after all, they are all top directors, and Zhang Yimou used to carry the camera for himself; but now other people's daughters are directors, and his son can only mix in the actor circle...

Compared with these two, isn't the arrogant Director Chen embarrassed and unbalanced? And in the same occasion tonight, it is even more embarrassing and embarrassing.

"I'm curious, among the big directors present tonight, how many will give Director Chen face and give their son resources in the future? He doesn't look like a good actor, does he?"

Han Jianu held a glass of juice and whispered to Liu Yifei, who was also biting a straw beside her.

Although the two women deliberately stayed away from the crowd, many people still came to flatter and please them deliberately, which was very annoying.

"No big director should give resources so easily to someone who doesn't look like a talented actor, right? They are all very careful about their reputation." Liu Yifei nodded and thought quietly.

"You say, Director Chen doesn't want his son to be a traffic star or a young actor, right? That would be interesting, it would be embarrassing, haha..."

"Keep your voice down, it would be embarrassing if someone heard it. If it gets to Director Chen and Producer Chen, they will definitely be furious."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Han Jianu and scolded in a low voice, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you afraid of? It's just like that. I'm just telling the truth. Besides, I'm a director. It's completely reasonable for me to comment on their son. Can they still scold me? Pick a fight against me, or what?"

Looking at Han Jianu's "arrogance" of "My father is Han Sanping", Liu Yifei almost laughed to death, "Okay, okay, stop talking... someone is coming."

"Yifei, Director Han, good evening."

Fan Bingbing, dressed in a gorgeous and charming outfit, came over with a glass of red wine and smiled. Han Jianu glanced at the other party's figure that was about to burst out, and immediately curled her lips in a subtle way.

On the other side.

Director Lin really couldn't avoid the "toasts" that came one after another. Even if he just took a sip out of courtesy, he drank a lot after so many times.

"What the hell, I just heard from someone that Wang Quanan actually got a spot as a judge in the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival today!"

Ning Hao burped and staggered to Lin Nan's side, his tone full of sourness.

"He was a whore and jailed in China, but this does not affect the fact that he is the son of the Berlin Film Festival, nor does it affect his status as a Golden Bear director in the international film industry. What, are you jealous?"

Lin Nan smiled and joked. Ning Hao rolled his eyes and didn't deny it. "When the official announcement comes out later, the media won't give it too much publicity, right?"

"Nonsense."

"Or Venice?"

"Of course. It's still the same reason. I won too many awards in Berlin.

Do you think that having another mainland director as a judge can change the fact that I will most likely be suppressed? You think too much. There is a balance everywhere!"

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Ning Hao stopped talking and just shook his head with a little regret. "If it's the chairman of the jury, maybe it will be useful?"

"You might as well look forward to the day when I become the chairman of the jury and come to help you."

Lin Nan laughed and teased. But Ning Hao seemed to take it seriously: "By the way, you are over 30 now, it should be soon, right?"

"Well, it's hard to say..."

...

The next morning, when the sun rose, the cocktail party of China Film was still a hot topic in the circle.

But soon, the updates of the headlines and hot searches in the film and entertainment sector focused the attention of the industry and netizens.

"The action and drama crime blockbuster "Line Walker", starring Louis Koo, Nick Cheung, Ng Chun-yu, Charmaine Sheh, Hui Siu-hung and other powerful actors, has officially opened in theaters across the country in the early hours of the morning."

"Produced jointly by Guangguang, Shanhai Media, and Wang Baoqiang Studio, starring Wang Baoqiang, Bai Ke, Yue Yunpeng, Liu Yan, Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao... Liu Xiaolingtong and others;

Wang Baoqiang's directorial debut, the comedy action movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", was released at 10 a.m. in Mehrangarh, India. The filming of the castle was successfully completed, and the crew will return to China today..."

"In the morning, the literary comedy love movie "Passing by Your World", jointly produced by Guangguang, Lin Nan Films, and Orange Image, adapted from a popular IP, held its first large-scale media promotion conference in Beijing... Zhang Yibai, Deng Chao, Bai Baihe, Yang Yang, Zhang Tianai and other main creators were all present..."

As Lin Nan told Wang Changtian, he did not go to the film promotion conference because he really couldn't get out of bed.

When he returned home to wash up last night, he was dozing off, so Liu Yifei laughed at him for a while... In the end, he really fell asleep.

"Huh? Xixi, you got up so early?"

Lin Nan narrowed his eyes and walked downstairs step by step. Miss Liu was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, talking on the phone, with a smile on her face.

"It's already 11 o'clock, and I don't sleep in."

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Lin Nan, with a slightly "critical" tone in her voice, and her tone seemed to be deliberately raised a little, quite arrogant? Was she also talking to the person on the other end of the phone?

"You went to a social event last night, I think Lin Nan must have been persuaded to drink, right? It's normal to sleep a little longer, hehe..."

Liu Xiaoli laughed, and Director Lin finally reacted.

"Look, you are still pretending in front of our mother? You don't sleep in yet? How can you say it out loud? I was led astray by you..."

Lin Nan shut up halfway through this.

Because Liu Yifei already looked murderous, and his eyes seemed to have a knife; while Liu Xiaoli laughed at the sound, laughing continuously, laughing non-stop.

Her flight back to Beijing has been scheduled, on the 20th of this month. On that day, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will personally go to the airport to pick her up.

Liu Qianqian sleeps late and gets up early, she is lazy and doesn't want to move. So, in the afternoon, Lin Nan went to the company alone.

To his surprise, Zhang Yi was there too.

"Director Lin, do you remember that there is an important day this month?" When Yue Jun asked this question with a smile, Lin Nan was confused.

He couldn't guess what Yue Jun meant. It couldn't be that he was talking about his wedding anniversary and Liu Yifei's birthday, right?

"Director Lin, you don't trust me too much, do you? I have been signed to the company for 10 years!" Zhang Yi spread his hands, looking like he had suffered a great grievance.

"Oh my god, 10 years?"

Lin Nan exclaimed subconsciously, and only now did he remember it.

Zhang Yi, this guy, had fooled him into signing with the company with the mentality of retirement, causing him to be ridiculed by the circle for several years.

"Then let's give you a big one?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"No need, Director Yue just posted a Weibo on the company's official Weibo account to commemorate the past ten years between me and the company. I ordered a lot of cakes this morning, and the whole company will have some later..."

Zhang Yi's eyes were almost laughing, and Lin Nan had to admit that this guy really knows how to do things. "Okay, I'll try your 10th anniversary cake later."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Director Lin's Weibo was updated, and the picture was a cake: "Witness the first artist of Lin Nan Films, actor Zhang Yi's 10th year in the company..."

A Weibo post instantly brought up the "joyful" atmosphere online and in the circle!

"Zhang Yi? Is he the guy with the 'sly eyes' that Director Lin mentioned when he was filming Painted Skin and wanted to retire in his company?"

"Brother Xun, Zhang Yi's eyes are so focused! Isn't that just a cruel move to find himself a stable job? He's so cunning, haha..."

"Brother Zhang Yi, it's been 10 years? Director Lin doesn't plan to arrange some resources for him as a gift for the 10th anniversary of the contract?"

"The guy above, Lei Jiayin, talk on your main account! Don't open a small account and act secretly, what are you hinting at?"

...

The box office of 57 million on the first day, coupled with the good reputation of film reviews, made the Hong Kong film "Line Walker" attract a large number of fans on the second day.

And "The Dangerous City" starring Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo, Eddie Peng, Wu Tian, ​​Yuan Quan, etc., and "Love O2O" starring Yang Ying and Jing Boran also followed closely and officially landed on the film market.

In contrast, the big IP adaptation of "Love O2O" has taken advantage of the traffic, and the fans online are crazy; but I don't know whether these crazy fans can contribute to the "crazy" box office.

"Based on our experience over the years, the louder the fans shout, the more they hate the passers-by;

The fan group can only contribute to the so-called traffic on the Internet... In fact, it is just a lot of noise with little rain.

And looking at this development trend, the fan group will sooner or later become a cancer in the industry, because some bad signs have already appeared and cannot be controlled..."

Lin Nan agreed with Wang Changtian's summary and analysis, but:

"Boss Wang, let's talk about business. These things have nothing to do with us. We don't live on fans, nor do we raise fans. The so-called fan circle economy is played by those small entertainment companies..."

"Okay, let's talk about business. The welcoming banquet for Wang Baoqiang, which is also the wrap-up banquet, is scheduled for tomorrow night. Remember to be on time. Others have been staying in the crew for 5 months for this movie."

"Don't worry, Boss Wang. Even if it's just to encourage him as a new director, I will be on time."

After hanging up the phone a few minutes later, Lin Nan continued to work on the post-production of "Marriage Story". Ning Hao is arguing with the special effects team about the shots.

Meanwhile, in Wang Baoqiang's studio.

"Director Wang", who had just returned for a day, couldn't wait to arrange his work again;

A group of employees were packing up and packing things, especially the film shots, very carefully.

Next, Wang Baoqiang will take them to the Guangguang Building to carry out the post-production of "Buddhist in India"; there are several special effects shots that still need the help of Tiangong Color.

"How long will it take for the post-production of the movie?"

"Let's finish it within two months. After all, I have already agreed with Mr. Wang and Director Lin that it will be released during the Spring Festival. So I will be very busy in the next six months, because after the post-production is completed, it will have to be submitted for review and sufficient time will be left for publicity."

Wang Baoqiang was in good spirits and responded with great enthusiasm.

"Director Wang, everything is ready."

At this time, the report from the employees once again cheered Wang Baoqiang up; in order to learn from Lin Nan, he specifically told his subordinates to call him "Director Wang" in the future.

"Okay, let's set off now and go to Guangguang."

Not long after, after watching the two business cars drive away, the boss lady turned around with relief and joy and returned to the company... and continued to chat on the phone.

...

On the morning of the 13th, the news that Zhang Yimou's daughter's movie "28-Year-Old Minor" was scheduled for December 9 was officially announced.

Unlike the Internet, where everyone was watching the excitement, the circle was all sighing:

This kid is probably not smart, and he is rushing to die? It was released only 10 days later than Lin Nan's movie, and only one week earlier than his own father's movie! It's really a struggle to survive in the cracks?

Let's look at the movie information: "Love O2O" took 47.31 million on the first day, and "Dangerous City" took 33.85 million. The reputation of the two movies is hard to describe, and they are basically classified as bad movies.

However, "Line Walker" is different. It rose to 68.4 million on the second day of its release and continued to maintain a good reputation.

In fact, these are not the focus of the circle. The real focus is on the bell ringing ceremony of Shanghai Film Group four days later.

Look, the announcement of Shanghai Film Group has begun to be sent out, with one meaning: the number of stocks issued is limited, even scarce... The quick hand will be the slow hand!

After returning from the company at noon, Lin Nan did not go out again until the evening.

"Xixi, do you want to go together? At the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse."

"No." Miss Liu shook her head decisively. They are all grown men. What is she going to do?

"Okay, I'll leave now."

After waving to Liu Yifei, Lin Nan got into the back seat and the driver set off immediately...

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, the capital was already brightly lit. The night view of Diaoyutai was even more charming.

Wang Changtian arranged the dinner in a spacious pavilion;

The sky was full of stars, the breeze was blowing, and the classical light show in the State Guesthouse...it was really enjoyable.

"I toast to you two. I really want to thank Director Lin and President Wang for their help this time, which allowed me to try to transform and fulfill my dream of becoming a director."

Wang Baoqiang's smile was very honest, and it could be heard that his words were also very heartfelt.

"You're welcome. We've known each other for so many years.

Although you're not a professional actor, you're a senior actor. If you want to become a director, everyone will support you because your success rate is much higher than many people, and you have the most valuable attitude."

"What Lin Nan said just now is what I want to say. He supported Xu Zheng once before, and I also supported Deng Chao. It's normal for us to support you this time because you have the qualifications and the potential to be a director."

Wang Changtian is quite good at picking up the conversation, and he doesn't need to say anything.

After hearing what the two said, Wang Baoqiang's joyful smile was even stronger than before, and he drank the wine in one gulp.

Before Lin Nan and Wang Changtian followed, suddenly, Wang Baoqiang's assistant ran over in a hurry.

"Brother Baoqiang? Is there..."

"Don't you see that I'm chatting with Director Lin and Mr. Wang? Let's talk about it when we get back." Wang Baoqiang waved his hand and interrupted his assistant.

"Let him talk, just in case there is something urgent. After he finishes talking, let's start eating." Wang Changtian said with a smile, and Lin Nan also nodded.

"Then tell me, what's the matter?" Wang Baoqiang looked at the assistant and urged.

"Brother Baoqiang, there is a call from you, saying it is very urgent, and you are asked to call back quickly."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang's face immediately became more serious. He took the phone handed over by the assistant, and when he saw the notes in the call record, he frowned subconsciously.

Before he could call back, the call came in again.

"Who is it? Why are you frowning?" Lin Nan couldn't help but joked. In his opinion, there should be nothing that can make Wang Baoqiang embarrassed, right?

"I am also curious, did you not report to your wife about this dinner today? Haha..." Wang Changtian also joked.

Wang Baoqiang looked at Lin Nan and the other two and said with a smile:

"Director Lin and President Wang are joking again. Nothing much. It's just the person who called. We rarely talk on the phone because... because she is my agent's wife..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Baoqiang answered the phone and walked away quickly.
