That year Huayu

At the early morning of the 9th, capital time, countless people working in the entire domestic media industry did not sleep, and were all in an excited state.

At about 2:30 in the morning, the news from the United Press Agency finally came like a hurricane, sweeping the world - 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue welcomed a new owner!

In just a few hours, the Internet seemed to have undergone a revolutionary change, and the domestic media was particularly agitated, just because that person emphasized one thing: setting and increasing trade restrictions and sanctions.

…

"Daniel Wu posted his voting photo on social media and expressed his feelings:

I was surprised to see so many Chinese fans of Donald. I voted for the other one; because the former hates China from the inside out. He is not the kind of person who pretends, not the kind of politician who flatters."

"Produced jointly by Crystal Pictures, Warner Pictures, Lionsgate, Xiying, and Light Media. Wanda, starring Chinese actors Jing Tian and Reba;

Invested 165 million US dollars, the Sino-US co-produced science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim 2" held a high-profile opening ceremony and media conference at the Oriental Film Metropolis this morning..."

It is rare that current political news dominates the major portals and Weibo hot searches on the Internet. A large number of netizens have become angry young people who point out the country and write inspiring words, cursing at the other side of the ocean.

Of course, there is never a shortage of people who are weak-kneed and want to destroy their own prestige. The voices of the "peace faction" are also not small, and even most of them have a certain social status and influence.

This kind of people have a common identity, that is, they are all "public intellectuals"!

After hanging up Tom's worried phone call, Lin Nan continued to browse the news related to the Pacific Rim 2 launch conference;

There are constantly updated graphic reports and short videos on the scene on the Internet. Jing Tian and Reba are in very good spirits. At first glance, they are the most eye-catching and pleasing to the eyes in the crowd.

In addition, although Lin Nan did not go to the scene, his name was not absent. Representatives of several production companies have talked about it. When Jing Tian and Reba were interviewed, they all mentioned Lin Nan.

"Director Zhang's new film has started auditioning now, but it seems that there will be no new Mou Girls this time."

Liu Yifei came down from upstairs wearing pink patterned cotton pajamas. Her mobile phone has changed into new clothes again. The back of the girlish mobile phone shell is also pasted with Elsa pendant from Frozen.

"You are still paying attention to these while lying in bed?" Lin Nan moved the things around him to the coffee table. Miss Liu was going to get on the sofa again after getting out of bed. Well, I still have to rely on him.

"You said last time that it's hard for outsiders to get a role in this movie. But Tangtang is still unwilling to give up, and is waiting for the audition now. Hey, has the storyboard for "Dying to Survive" been completed?"

Liu Yifei asked in surprise, glancing at the stack of drawings that Lin Nan had just put on the coffee table.

"Well, I worked overtime and got up early, and finally finished it an hour ago."

Lin Nan did not comment on Tang Yan's audition for Zhang Yimou's movie.

At this moment, Director Zhang would only consider those actors with excellent acting skills for the main roles, and would not choose Tang Yan.

Because he would definitely not be in the mood, and he would most likely not want to spend too much time and energy to train the actors; the LeTV incident made him feel upset and depressed, and it was impossible for his mentality not to be affected.

Look, the shooting period of Shadow is only four months, and this is not the kind of shooting that Lin Nan requires actors to stay in the crew;

This is the shortest time plan among Zhang Yimou's costume films. After all, Three Shots Surprise took six months to shoot!

...

In the outside world, the Internet has not been quiet for a whole day.

The eyes of the world are probably focused on the new president who will officially take office in two months. This is the first person who has risen to power purely as a businessman on the other side of the ocean in many years!

However, for the vast majority of netizens, as the "angry youth" fades, "Princess" Ivanka has gradually become the subject of hot discussion on the entire network.

After all, her figure, education, appearance, IQ, eloquence...are all top-notch, and her charm is full, and she can be said to be popular with both men and women.

On the 10th, Pacific Rim 2 officially started shooting in a low-key manner;

On the 11th, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk was also released in a high-profile manner under the "expectation of the public".

But on the 12th, the entire film industry seemed to be in an awkward situation in an instant, and it was slapped in the face to the extreme. Fortunately, everyone's basic skills are very solid - swallow the spit in the face!

Film critics have praised "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" for several days, and the industry has praised this movie and Li An to the top, especially Feng Xiaogang.

But what is the result? The film reviews and box office that came out today made everyone in the industry silent, leaving only ridicule and complaints on the Internet...

China Film.

"30% of the screening rate, the first day box office is only 26.39 million? The comprehensive share of the daily closing market is only 23.3%? Upside down!"

Looking at the detailed data brought by the secretary, La Peikang's chest seemed to be blocked, unable to go up or down, suffocating.

His face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were a little angry.

This movie was written into the group's key projects this year by him early on, and reported to the Film Bureau. This is China Film's "key film project" second only to "The Great Wall" and "The Founding of an Army"!

"Are there any omissions?" La Peikang looked up and looked at the secretary expressionlessly.

The latter could see the leader's thoughts, but this data was really...

"Boss La, this is what China Film Distribution gave me after summarizing it. They said there was no mistake."

At this moment, La Peikang's heart was completely cold and he gave up. The box office in the film market would probably not fluctuate. If the film reviews were not particularly outstanding, how could the box office go up? Impossible!

"Boss La, this is not a purely commercial film. In addition, many audiences are not used to this subversive viewing mode. There are too many first-person camera angles and narrations... So, it is a bit of a turnoff."

The secretary couldn't help but comfort him, saying that Li An's film might be more suitable for winning awards and selling copyrights.

Hearing this, La Peikang's cold expression could not help but ease a little. Yes, Li An has never been good at the box office in the film market, but awards.

"Life of Pi" can sell more than 600 million US dollars at the global box office, which is something that even Li An did not expect or dare to think of.

"Where is Li Anren?"

"He has returned to Taiwan. The Golden Horse Exhibition has opened in the past two days, and the Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held at the end of the month."

"Go contact him. China Film can cooperate with him and Sony in terms of Oscar PR..."

At this point, La Peikang was silent for a moment, then looked directly at the secretary again and said very seriously:

"Tell them that we can't say we will win the award, but at least we must be nominated. Don't those people in Hollywood like this kind of "rebellious" theme the most?"

"Okay, okay, Mr. La. I'll go right away."

The secretary swallowed his saliva subconsciously. As a secretary, he naturally knew what the chairman meant by "cooperation", that is, he could provide some "publicity" costs.

A few minutes later, La Peikang was the only one left in the office. To be honest, compared with the box office, he valued the influence of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" overseas more. For China Film and him, this is a plus point.

"Next, it depends on the box office of The Great Wall. This is the commercial blockbuster that focuses on the box office market!"

La Peikang was still a little unwilling to accept the murmur; with the box office situation of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, some people will inevitably laugh at him behind his back or even in front of him!

...

"I am so grateful to him, La Peikang, hahahaha...

When Li An came to solicit investment, he hesitated and didn't give me a definite answer, but when Li An and I had already negotiated and were about to sign the contract, he relied on the fact that China Film had the right to import foreign language films and used this as a threat to forcibly snatch the project away.

Then what? For so long, you have often talked about this movie and boasted about it. Are you dumbfounded today? A unilateral investment of 24 million US dollars, just this first day box office, if the movie can make a profit, I will take his last name, he deserves to pay..."

Looking at Ren Zhonglun's weird and undisguised mocking face, Lin Nan was a little worried about La Peikang. If these two people meet, the former will probably "humiliate" him in person, right? !

"Boss Ren, are we going to talk business? You just came in and started to criticize Boss La, and we can't get a word in."

Lin Nan leaned back in his chair, looking at Ren Zhonglun opposite him, and complained speechlessly. Han Sanping and Han Jianu, who were standing next to him, looked like they were watching the fun.

"What are you laughing at? When "The Crossing (Part 1)" was first released, you looked even worse than him, with your shameless appearance and shamelessness."

As Ren Zhonglun turned his gun around, Han Sanye's smile disappeared immediately, and his face looked as if he had eaten two pounds of gunpowder.

Only Han Jianu couldn't help laughing heartlessly, and laughed out loud: "Hehe... Hehe... My dad has never stayed at home as much as he did during that period in his life, haha..."

"Hurry up and talk about business, and then we'll leave." Han Sanping urged unhappily. Although he came by on the way and had some free time, he didn't plan to stay longer.

"On the 15th, the script was approved, and then the casting notice was immediately released; on the morning of the 21st, the investment share of "The Wandering Earth" was determined, and in the afternoon it was "Dying to Survive"; on the 22nd, the audition officially began. This time it's more urgent, but I can take my time. Because I have already planned the start time, which is in March next year...

Director Ren and Director Han, you two are not only the co-producers of "Dying to Survive" this time, but you also have to make a cameo appearance in the movie for me. Well, I found some down-to-earth and surprising small roles for you... Director Wang of Xiying is the same..."

Looking at the smile on Lin Nan's face, and listening to his eloquent talk (bluffing), Han Sanping had some stress reactions. This scene is so damn familiar...

"Guest appearance? No problem, I envy Old Han. He was a 'mountain eagle' back then, and he won an award!"

Ren Zhonglun seemed very interested, and joked with a smile. He was not teasing Han Sanping, but speaking from the heart.

"Hehe, when you get the role you want to guest star, I hope you can still laugh. From what I know about Lin Nan, this bastard may not have any bad intentions."

Han Sanping looked cold, first looked at Ren Zhonglun with contempt, and then stared at Lin Nan with unfriendly eyes.

Lin Nan wanted to laugh, but after being glared at like this, he instantly became serious with a guilty conscience.

"Brother Lin, which roles do you want my dad, Uncle Ren, Uncle Wang and others to guest star in?" Han Jianu asked curiously. Although she was a screenwriter, she couldn't guess Lin Nan's thoughts.

"Let's talk about it after the filming starts. I might even bring you in to make a cameo appearance. Well, it's not impossible to include me and Yifei!" Lin Nan was playing a mystery with a cunning smile.

"Okay, I'll prepare my retirement money for you when I go back."

Han Sanping said this to Lin Nan, but his eyes were looking at Han Jianu. Facing her father's loving eyes, the latter still smiled heartlessly, but much more ladylike than before.

...

At 11 o'clock, when Lin Nan returned home, Liu Yifei was actually watching the drama "The Princess Weiyoung" starring Tang Yan and Luo Jin.

To be honest, it's really wonderful to watch a pair of good friends and lovers in real life acting in a costume drama.

Tang Yan and Luo Jin were obviously acting in a very serious scene and shot, but when Liu Yifei saw it on the screen, she couldn't help laughing. Of course, Lin Nan was also infected.

"Oh, yes, an invitation to the Berlin Film Festival, here it is."

The makeup-free Liu Yifei finally remembered what was sent today, and immediately took out a letter from under the pillow.

Lin Nan was too lazy to read it, so she would send an email to explain in the afternoon. I can't go, I have to prepare a new movie.

"Speaking of invitations, I want to laugh.

Maybe it was because my righteous and outspoken words last time irritated Huayi and Director Feng, and this time they didn't even do the face-saving project. The premiere of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" didn't invite us at all, hehe..."

Putting down the letter from the Berlin Film Festival, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei started to chat and laugh.

"I guess you must be thinking: 'This is easier, I don't need to pretend anymore', right?" Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Nan.

"Well said, I don't need to pretend anymore. I'm not the kind of person who likes to deal with them, am I?"

Soon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went out and went back to her mother's house next door. Liu Xiaoli is stewing soup, it should be ready.

……

Film Bureau.

“Has “Dying to Survive” been added?”

“Director Tong, it has been added. It will be announced directly the day after tomorrow morning.”

After replying, the secretary remembered another interesting thing, “Zhang Yimou’s “Shadow” seems to be included in the special care list and is scheduled for the end of the month.”

Tong Gang paused after hearing this, and then nodded: “Well, he is qualified for special care. But he is too greedy, so he got trapped, right?”
