That year Huayu

The Golden Hall was crowded with people.

On the red carpet, celebrities from the film and television industry, the entertainment industry, the media, the culture and sports industry, etc., also came in an endless stream...

Most of the male guests were dressed in suits and leather shoes, while a few big guys were wearing low-key Zhongshan suits;

Like Han Sanping, he actually came in a pair of old cloth shoes, but undoubtedly, this did not affect his status at all.

Looking at the female guests, the beautiful high-end dresses and women's casual suits, matched with exquisite makeup and styling, competed with each other, and focused on a unique and different one.

However, as time went by, in the eyes of countless media cameras and onlookers in the square, these celebrities gradually became inconspicuous.

Because the most important group of guests at the premiere today arrived, their momentum completely overshadowed the actors and stars, and focused everyone's attention:

The plain and simple executive jacket crowd, the upright and uniform police uniform team. Of course, the most "eye-catching" thing about the latter team is the difference in epaulettes, which is dazzling!

Just after eight o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the square outside the Great Hall on time.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they were greeted by countless cameras and the voices of fans.

In terms of "starlight", Lin Nan, as a director behind the scenes, can't compare with Liu Yifei on the stage after all!

Listening to the two names of "Xixi" and "Yifei" rising one after another, Director Lin's face was full of speechless smiles.

And Miss Liu happily waved to everyone on both sides, and blew kisses, and there was no trace of the sleepy look in the car just now. Haha, what an excellent actress!

It was not until Chen Kaige and his family of three walked into the Great Hall that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finally stepped onto the red carpet. Soon, they heard a movement from behind. It was Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun.

Holding hands, they stepped into the golden hall. The atmosphere on the scene made Lin Nan and Liu Yifei feel like they were dreaming of their wedding last year. There are so many people, it's so lively!

"Boss La, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is really a big loss this time.

You were so enthusiastic at the beginning, you just snatched it from me. But I don't blame you, and now I have to thank you sincerely. Thank you so much, Boss La, haha..."

Ren Zhonglun's weird greeting sounded suddenly. It immediately attracted the attention of many people around, including Lin Nan and Liu Yifei who just came in.

La Peikang's face turned black immediately, and many people in the circle around him subconsciously avoided him. Judging from the posture, he would hide as far as he could.

"Xixi, let's go in quickly. It seems that these two want to have a "communication." Lin Nan whispered to Liu Yifei, and then the two walked quickly into the crowd.

Wang Changtian was chatting with Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo; next to Yang Shoucheng were Jiang Wen and Ge You, who were also talking about "The Last Romance"...

The venue was full of chatter and the atmosphere was lively and enthusiastic, without any feeling of noise or boredom. In short, it felt great.

Not long after, amid the greetings, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei squeezed in front of the large group - Ning Hao, Li Bingbing, Zhu Yawen, Zhang Hanyu, Han Jianu...

"Today's standard is definitely the top in the industry. I just saw the big leader of the department! Look, Director Han is chatting over there." Ning Hao came up and whispered.

"It's a very high standard, so I'm also under a lot of pressure for the box office results. If it can't compare to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", it will be terrible."

"Director Lin, you don't need to be so humble, right? I haven't acted in such a high-grossing movie yet, so I'm counting on you to lead me this time." Li Bingbing smiled and praised.

"Then I hope you get what you want." Lin Nan nodded and smiled.

"Boss Han seems to be calling you?" Liu Yifei suddenly pulled Lin Nan's hand and reminded him. Sure enough, Han Sanping was waving and calling him from a distance, and the leader of the department was next to him.

"You guys chat first, I'll go over. By the way, don't criticize or educate me?"

"Go away!"

As Lin Nan walked straight towards the uniform team, many eyes at the scene followed him implicitly.

"Director Lin Nan, we will see your finished film in a while. How is it? How confident are you about the box office?"

As soon as he came up to him, before Lin Nan could say hello, the leader of the department couldn't wait.

But there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the main theme commercial film is still a commercial film. Its success or failure and how much achievement it has made are all directly reflected in the box office.

In other words, the higher the box office, the better the main theme effect of this "Operation Mekong", that is, the higher the promotion, the larger the scope and population covered by the main theme!

"Don't worry, from what I know about him, he has never looked back on his box office performance for any commercial film. It's getting higher and higher each time!" Han Sanping was quite good at answering questions, and he took the initiative to answer for Lin Nan.

"Well, although I can't estimate how much the box office will be in the end, I think it will definitely be higher than "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"."

Lin Nan tentatively mentioned "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". Sure enough, he guessed right, the department also has a competitive mentality.

"Okay, very good. Well, it will be released the day after tomorrow, and you can apply for an extension one week after the release. There is no need to delay it too much, this time is just right.

The film bureau will quickly approve and announce it, which can also stimulate the film market and give the film the greatest possible icing on the cake in terms of publicity! "

At this moment, Lin Nan had to admire the leadership of the ministry. The arrangements are really thoughtful, um, well thought out.

"No problem. I'll have people go to the film office early in the morning on the 5th of next month to wait for them to go to work."

"Well, remember to keep a low profile."

We chatted for more than half an hour. When Lin Nan met up with Liu Yifei and others again, there was not much time left for socializing.

At 9:30, under the host's warm-up, Lin Nan led Liu Yifei, Ning Hao, Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing, Chen Baoguo and others onto the stage.

All the guests present took their seats one after another.

The first two rows are filled with administrative jackets and police uniforms. From the third row onwards are the CEOs, big directors, and big producers of film and television companies in the industry. The seats after that are arranged in order of celebrity status and influence.

"Director Lin, we know that this is your second commercial film with a main theme. Compared with the first film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", what do you think is different?" A reporter from the movie channel first asked.

"It's not different, right? If there are any differences, it should be more real and closer to us! Because it is adapted from a real case and has a high degree of restoration. Here, I really want to be grateful to our anti-narcotics team police……"

While Lin Nan was speaking, he also clearly noticed that the leaders in the first two rows were very satisfied with his answer, and they all had smiles on their faces.

This scene was much more difficult to handle than the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"!

"This is the first time I'm working with teacher Li Bingbing. What does Director Lin think of her?"

…

"This is also the second time Yifei has produced a commercial film with a main theme. Didn't you ever think of asking Director Lin to tailor a role for you in it?"

…

“I wonder when Director Lin’s third commercial film with a main theme will be, and what will it be?”

"I have no such considerations at the moment. Maybe it will take a long time, right? Maybe when there are more people in the industry making commercial films with main themes, I will "finish" and leave from this track."

"What?"

The chirping sound exploded with a bang.

"Director Lin, don't be joking."

"We just thought you were joking."

…

At ten o'clock in the morning, the movie officially started.

Main theme commercial movies use the main theme as the tone of the story and use commercial movie techniques to interpret it.

Its characteristic is that it can arouse the audience's emotions anytime and anywhere and immerse the audience in the exciting storyline. This is the eternal essence of the main theme commercial film.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the second row, holding each other's hands. It can be seen from the reactions of everyone around that "Operation Mekong" is undoubtedly a success.

"Director Zhang and the others are taking each of them very seriously." Miss Liu glanced back and then reported in a low voice to Lin Nan.

"You should be serious, at least for Director Zhang, I am his opponent and his daughter's opponent. I am their most difficult competitor at the same time! Haha..."

Lin Nan smiled unceremoniously and said, "Operation Mekong" is the first shot of the Lunar New Year movie, and all the movies in the Lunar New Year movie are within the coverage of this movie without exception. After all, I have two months at home!

The two-hour film ended quickly. Amidst overwhelming applause, Lin Nan led the team onto the stage again. The problem we have to face this time is absolutely inseparable from the box office.

"Director Lin, congratulations, "Operation Mekong" is great."

"Thanks."

"As a commercial blockbuster that kicks off the Lunar New Year season, it's impossible that you haven't made predictions about the performance of "Operation Mekong". If it's low-key, don't say it. Everyone wants to hear something exciting, haha..."

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others couldn't help laughing when they heard this. The scene also burst into loud laughter. This was only the movie channel who dared to ask such a question.

Taking the microphone, Lin Nan glanced at the third row. To be precise, he glanced at Zhang Yimou, Er Dongsheng, Jackie Chan, Jiang Wen and others.

“This year’s Lunar New Year festival should be the most fiercely competitive in recent years. If we take a closer look at the competitors of “Operation Mekong,” they are all works by big directors and celebrities; of course, there are also many small and medium-budget films. But, let me just say something here as expected by the movie channel.”

Lin Nan paused for a moment, and then everyone present, including media reporters, leaders, and industry guests, all focused on him, looking at him expectantly and excitedly.

"I firmly believe that our film "Operation Mekong" will sweep this year's Lunar New Year movies.

It will include "The Sword of the Third Young Master" on the 2nd, "The Great Wall" and "The Death of Romance" on the 16th, "The Ferryman" and "Railway Tiger" on the 23rd, and all subsequent big director and big-budget movies. , push it all the way! I won’t name the small and medium-budget movies, as they will be considered cannon fodder by default! "

The entire golden auditorium was completely boiling with Lin Nan's words.

Even Zhang Yimou and others also laughed and clapped, their expressions were helpless, but also with a hint of expectation for a head-on collision!

"Dad, I'm just cannon fodder in the eyes of Director Lin." Zhang Mo looked at Zhang Yimou with a bitter look on his face, and the latter gave him a comforting look: "Take your time."

Beside Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Li Bingbing and others also looked at him with burning eyes, and the excitement in their eyes was clear.

"Director Lin, you are really good at making promises! Why don't you rush into the Spring Festival period again?" Ning Hao laughed and teased.

"I want to, but the department won't give me a second extension."

Lin Nan muttered in a voice that only a few people around him could hear. Except for Liu Yifei, Ning Hao and others were all stunned-what a guy!

"Director Lin's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is the first domestically produced 2 billion box office movie. As your second main theme commercial film "Operation Mekong", what is Director Lin's specific box office expectations for it?

We all know that "The Mermaid" is the first 3 billion box office blockbuster in Chinese-language movies, and it is also the only 3 billion box office movie now. Will Director Lin use its box office as a reference this time?"

This question once again hit the point, and the scene was restless.

Reference to the box office of "The Mermaid"? How to refer to it? Of course, 3 billion is used as a reference point!

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Liu Yifei, Ning Hao and Zhu Yawen who were winking at him, OK, let's just make it more lively!

"Then let's take 3 billion as a reference, I'll go up and see the scenery of the 3 billion box office club. But that's right, if we can't even get 3 billion box office, how can we sweep the Lunar New Year period?"

Applause, once again!

Half an hour later, the luncheon officially began.

However, many actors, artists and filmmakers were ready to leave early, and most of them had flown back from the Golden Horse Awards.

"I wish you a smooth Golden Horse Award."

"Then I'll borrow the good words of producer Liu, you got it a few years ago. I guess you should compete for the top three in Europe again next year, right?"

"Maybe, it depends on Director Lin, hehe."

Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei smiled and hugged each other, wishing each other well. She had to leave early because the flight was after three o'clock.

On the other side, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo also came to Lin Nan.

"The premiere of The Great Wall is on the 7th, and the premiere of her film 28-Year-Old Minor is on the 8th. I hope you can spare some time to come and show your support. If you can't leave for the audition, forget it."

"Thank you, Director Lin." Zhang Mo apologized humbly and politely.

Looking at the smiling faces of the father and daughter, Lin Nan also nodded with a smile: "It's the director's debut film, I will definitely support it. But when the two films collide, Operation Mekong will not show mercy."
