That year Huayu

"The second trial today?"

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan had just come out of the screenwriting department when she heard the company's employees gossiping.

Zhang Yimou's lawsuit against Zhang Weiping for arrears of tens of millions in salary and dividends was re-opened in the capital today. This is also the final trial.

"Yes, Director Lin. This news is very popular in the headlines and hot searches, right... right below you."

Several young girls in administration and logistics shrank their heads with smiles, and quickly ran away with their coffees in hand.

"Me? Okay. I have to stay at the forefront of public opinion for a few days... a man of the hour."

When Lin Nan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and joking.

His Weibo post has an extraordinary influence in the industry and the entire Internet.

To put it bluntly, this morning, this matter really reached the point where public opinion broke out.

The ridicule, sarcasm, belittling, and abuse are all negative voices, and there is a faint tendency to be unable to contain them.

And they are all very straightforward and nakedly directed at the bureau and the review department.

Sitting in the office, Lin Nan couldn't help but browse through the posts on the Internet. He is waiting, and the people above will never remain indifferent.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Director Lin, this is the invitation letter just sent to you."

"Evergrande Pictures?"

Lin Nan frowned as he looked at the top invitation letter among several premiere invitations handed over by his assistant.

"Their film "Broken Wind" will be released early next month, but the premiere will be at the end of this month.

In addition, Anle Pictures' "Monster Hunt" and Sohu's "Pancake Man"... all held premiere ceremonies in the past few days. "

“They are all big companies!

But I don’t have the leisure, let Director Yue make arrangements. "

Hearing Lin Nan's joking words, the assistant nodded immediately; "Okay, Director Lin."

"By the way, director Guo Fan, the promotion of "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" should have started, right?"

"It's already started. I'm going to promote it today."

"Shu Chang and the others..."

Just when Lin Nan was about to ask which creators were promoting with the crew, the phone on his desk suddenly vibrated.

A buzzing sound interrupted his words, and the caller ID on the screen was also unusually dazzling.

Lin Nan waved his hand to the assistant, "You go out first."

The latter understood, and immediately stepped out with gentle steps, and gently closed the office door.

"Sure enough, it's here."

Lin Nan murmured with a smile, it was the phone number in the bureau, the landline in Tong Gang's office.

He picked up the phone and answered: "Tong Bureau?"

"Lin Nan, I rarely call you..."

"Are you busy? After all, the General Administration has a lot to do. Domestic film and television, media, radio, television... various industries and industries at all levels, various policies, systems, supervision, and review work, there are countless..."

"You don't need to flatter me, you don't need to block my words, and you don't need to emphasize the words 'policy', 'system', 'supervision', and 'review'. You are not old, but there is always something in my words, haha..."

Lin Nan was speechless for a moment and could only laugh awkwardly.

"It's normal to vent some dissatisfaction. Things are right and wrong, and you understand that. But this movement is indeed a bit big, and it is still fermenting. Negative public opinion towards the General Administration and the film The impact on the bureau's reputation is very bad..."

Lin Nan was not surprised that Tong Gang suddenly got to the point.

The former was able to call because of this; and he had already been mentally prepared to wait, wasn't he.

"Dissatisfaction? Tong Bureau, this term is too light, it should be resentment. And this is not my temporary anger, it is the resentment of many years, many filmmakers, and even the entire industry.

You should really take a day to read through the posts on the Internet. Almost everyone has the same caliber, and the muzzle is unanimously aimed at review...

This has not happened once or twice, but countless times. They don’t care about the life or death of the industry, what everyone thinks, or the opinions of the industry. If they hadn't been holding the knife of 'auditing' in their hands, they would have been trapped... I won't say anything. "

As Lin Nan spoke, he began to grit his teeth, but he still added:

“Ninety-nine percent of the bad reputation of the General Administration and the Film Bureau is caused by them, not us filmmakers who criticize censorship.

Even the general public knows that review is never about human affairs! "

As Lin Nan's words fell, both ends of the phone fell silent.

After a long time, I heard Tong Gang sigh: "This is indeed true...Delete it, we will deal with them this time."

"Handle it? I'm afraid the Tong Bureau can't handle a few, right?"

"Nothing can be accomplished overnight, but this time there must be at least five... to scare the monkeys, one by one. After all, the leaders of the department have said that there is a problem with their 'ideological attitude'."

The leader's words have already mentioned this, what else can Lin Nan say? Continue to "pull" with the leader?

"I see."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, the office returned to silence.

"Wait a minute, this Weibo has to survive 24 hours no matter what!"

As he spoke, Lin Nan remembered the postscript he wrote at the end of Weibo yesterday. Well, that’s a nice postscript!

…………

Afternoon.

Not surprisingly, Big A has made headlines for the Nth time.

In the morning, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets fell by more than 5.9%.

In addition to more than 1,400 listed companies suspending trading, more than 1,300 stocks have dropped to their daily limits.

I heard that even Zhao Yanzi, who followed behind the old horse, lost more than 4 billion, and the Internet was full of topics for a while.

However, in the film and television industry, the one that attracts the most attention is Chen Kaige.

After Liu Yan many years ago, once again a fledgling reporter stopped and interviewed Chen Kaige:

"What do you want to say about "The Taoist Descending the Mountain", which has an investment cost of 200 million but a very unsatisfactory box office performance and reputation? After all, the current domestic film market has reached a box office era of 2 billion, and excellent films are frequently produced."

This time, although Chen Kaige did not say "people can't be so shameless" like he did when he scolded the editor of "The Promise"; nor did he slam the microphone and leave the scene angrily like he did with Liu Yan.

But he said something even more pretentious and condescending:

"Whether "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" gets good reviews or bad reviews, I will accept it peacefully.

But I must emphasize one point: the act of just exchanging movies for money is the most despicable act - I will never do it! "

Tsk, tsk, tsk, listen, what Director Chen said seems to have named all the directors of commercial films that have achieved high box office? !

Of course, there are no big directors in the industry to refute him.

Firstly, it is meaningless. Secondly, Director Chen may really be "in a hurry". There is really no need for everyone to add fuel to the fire and stir up grass to look for snakes.

…

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei, who had successfully finished work, was surrounded by three assistants and prepared to leave.

The CEO of Harper's Bazaar was by his side, chatting and laughing.

"Yifei, the invitations for you and Director Lin should be coming soon, right?"

"Almost, it will be sent out next month."

"Can we do live shooting? Or interviews after the wedding? You know, everyone is very concerned about your wedding with Director Lin. We can even make a special issue of the magazine for you and Director Lin..."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei slowed down, looked at Su Mang beside him with a smile, and then shook her head gently.

"We shouldn't entertain the media. This is a private matter. We don't want to make a fuss and make the whole Internet known. We should try to avoid any headlines, hot searches, etc. It's not necessary. Although it may be difficult..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yifei smiled again, nodded, waved, and then stepped into the RV.

After the car was far away, the assistant next to Su Mang spoke:

"Mr. Su, did you really refuse?"

"I am mentally prepared. She and Director Lin Nan do have this confidence and this kind of character. Life is life, and work is work."

"What about us?"

"Go find Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying. The media must be welcome there. I even heard that many sponsors are interested in planning their wedding. With the personality of Leader Huang, they should accept it...

It's a pity that Liu Yifei's side is the first choice, and the guest lineup is definitely higher than Huang Xiaoming's side. "

When Liu Yifei returned home, Lin Nan was "choosing words and making sentences" in the yard with the little milk cat in her arms.

He couldn't just ask Tong Ju to delete that Weibo post, and he could just delete it "quietly" like that, right? That’s too “quiet”!

"Give me."

After snatching the cat from Lin Nan's arms, Liu Yifei pressed her forehead against the cat's head and pushed it with a smile.

At this time, Director Lin Da also completed his operation, which was to update a concise and clear Weibo to replace the deleted previous one:

"I just deleted a Weibo post. Well, that's all... I understand everything!"

"Lin Nan, you are so bad! Hehe."

Liu Yifei, who looked up and saw the content on the tablet, couldn't help but complain about Director Lin, with a look of fun on her face.

"I didn't say anything, why was it so bad? Sissi, you are slandering my innocence out of thin air! You have to... pay for it with your body!"

Faced with Lin Nan's "bad smile", Ms. Liu showed off the heroic appearance of a "female warrior" - bulging her biceps and raising her eyebrows to tease: "Want to fight?"

Just as Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were bickering and fighting, a large number of netizens on the Internet had already "moved upon hearing the news."

Just because Director Lin's Weibo post yesterday was so popular, his updates today are still under the attention of the entire Internet.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Director Lin still hasn't escaped the punishment of the big stick! It's sad..."

"Yesterday's Weibo is indeed gone. How disgusting!"

"What a sentence 'Everyone who understands understands'! It corresponds to yesterday's sentence 'PS: If this Weibo disappears, it is probably not my intention. You can take a screenshot and save it first'."

"'I just deleted a Weibo post', this is not a Weibo post, this is a slap in the face!"

"Director Lin's Weibo post today seems to have said nothing, but in fact it said more and more harshly than yesterday's post! Applause..."

"You're done, I'm really not allowed to talk anymore. Dog review!"

"I still suggest that Director Lin delete today's article. It's better to do less than to do more. You are just a director, and you are just a director..."

"Hey... "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is still in theaters. Before it is released, Director Lin's Weibo cannot be deleted."

…

The film and television industry has once again become "busy" because of Lin Nan's Weibo.

"He was definitely 'beaten'. Although his behavior yesterday was a bit irrational and a bit 'seeking death', it did relieve his anger!"

"Is it over now? Is there really no explanation from above?"

"This industry is hopeless... Do whatever you want. Damn it!"

…………

On the 9th, "Tiny Times 4" landed in theaters across the country amidst a large number of press releases, cheers and curses.

I say cheers because it is the last part of the "Tiny Times" series, and it is the conclusion and conclusion in the hearts of countless fans of the original work and fans of core starring actors such as Yang Mi.

As for the curses, they came from the large number of idiot fans of that young boy from Taiwan.

Just because Ke Moumou's character is still there, but it has been cut except for her voice and body, just like the big-headed doll in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang".

It's just that the latter's chest was cut off, while the former's head was cut off, and there was no frontal face shot!

Following "Tiny Times 4" on the 9th, just one day later, another youth-themed movie "Gardenia Blooms" was officially released.

At this point, time has come to the 10th.

Several movies, headed by "Xiu Chun Knife 2", which sounded the clarion call for summer war, have been released for a full week.

The entire film industry was also deeply dazzled by the box office sales of these movies in the first week.

"Produced by Shiyue Culture under Tiangong Colors, the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" grossed a total of 501 million in the first week of its release, breaking the domestic film market and animation film box office record!

The film's daily box office has not decreased, and its stamina is strong. The film's box office trend is still overwhelming, leading the summer season..."

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by Director Lu Yang, starring Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei and others, the martial arts series "Xiu Chun Dao 2" has been in theaters for one week, with a total box office of 330 million , ranking second in the summer season.”

"The total box office of "The Taoist Descending the Mountain", a film directed by Chen Kaige, has reached 210 million. According to the theater chain, the film's schedule will be cut by 50% this week."

"The movie "I Am a Passerby" has been in theaters for one week, with a box office revenue of 20.4 million. The film does not rule out the possibility of being withdrawn after the end of this week."

"The youth-themed series "Tiny Times 4" grossed 106 million at the box office on its first day, but the film's reputation will not be evaluated..."

…

Originally, Guo Ban was going to ask Ms. Liu to help with the platform "Get Out!" "Tumor King" promotion, because the female lead is her birthday gift to Shu Chang.

But Miss Liu disliked the long distance and was too lazy to go, so she finally followed Lin Nan to the company.

I have to say that at Lin Nan Pictures, Liu Yifei is more like a boss than Lin Nan, because all the employees’ eyes are on her;

And she received far more greetings than Director Lin. She was truly a real boss lady!

In the office.

"It's early nine o'clock now. I informed Golden Shield, Guangguang, Wanda, Yinghuang, China Film and Shanghai Film that the time is 10:40 in the morning."

Yue Jun looked at his watch and said to Lin Nan.

"Then they should start arriving at about 10 o'clock."

Lin Nan nodded, predicting.

Liu Yifei sat next to him, flipping through film and television entertainment information. Director Lin Da's second Weibo was still on the hot search list.

In the eyes of netizens, his second Weibo post was "silent resistance and ridicule"; in the eyes of industry insiders, it was "Lin Nan is still playing with fire"!

Lin Nan was very sure that the bureau must know about this Weibo, but they only cared about whether the most direct and naked one the first time was deleted.

"Today, I asked someone to go to the film bureau and apply for an extension key for "The Return of the Great Sage."

"Director Lin, how long does it take to apply?"

"One month is enough."

"Would it be possible?"

"No. This movie is currently the domestic animated movie with the highest box office in the country. It has a great reputation and a box office potential of more than 1 billion. It even represents the rise of domestic animated movies. No one will suppress it, and no one dares to suppress it. .”

"Okay, I'll have someone take care of it in a moment." Jiang Yuerou responded.

Lin Nan nodded, he was determined to get the delayed key to "The Return of the Great Sage".

If something goes wrong in the end, someone has to step in to help.

Then he didn't mind asking "above and above board", why didn't he give me the secret key? Who called back? Is it to suppress domestic animated films? Do you want to check the three generations of ancestors?

He can also wear big hats!

Not long after, Yue Jun and Jiang Yuerou left the office.

Lin Nan specifically warned: If those families arrive, take them to the large conference room on the third floor, and wait until all six families arrive before notifying him.

As the assistant delivered fruit plates and snacks to Lin Nan's office, he and Liu Yifei immediately became lazy, eating, chatting, and waiting.

…………

“The mainland film market is the real mainstream market for Chinese-language films, and it is worthy of being the second largest ticket market in the world.

Director Lin's company is indeed great. In a big time like summer, the first and second-ranked movies in the box office are all from his company! "

A black Rolls-Royce drove steadily on the road, Yang Shoucheng sat in the back seat and said with emotion.

There is a Mercedes-Benz business car in front and behind this car, which is the accompanying bodyguard and assistant.

In the passenger seat, Huo Wenxi smiled and nodded:

"The summer season is nothing. In the eyes of the mainland film industry, the Lunar New Year season is the most important. Lin Nan Pictures' two commercial films with the most box-office appeal are both in the Lunar New Year season. But in terms of those that attract attention, they must belong to Director Lin's latest film "Operation Mekong"."

"hehe……

It was quite a big fuss. The second commercial film with the main theme... put the film bureau's review department in the air, making it look like a disgrace, and it looked like a human being. "

When Yang Shoucheng said this, his tone was a little excited. After all, this also showed the strength of Jindun! And Emperor is one of the producers!

"How much longer?"

"Ten minutes or so. We should be able to arrive in time around 10 o'clock, maybe 10 minutes after 10 o'clock at most."

"good."

…

The last time the share of "Detective Chinatown" was allocated, Wang Changtian was the first to arrive, and this time he was still the first to arrive.

But it's understandable, after all, the light is the one closest to Lin Nan Pictures in terms of distance, so Lao Wang just took it for a walk.

Next was Ye Ning, who arrived at nine-fifty.

The two of them were immediately in the large conference room on the third floor, one having coffee and the other tea, chatting and laughing about the "liveliness" they were likely to see for a while.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere downstairs of Lin Nan Pictures was quite "chilling".

Because Shangying's car had just stopped, and China Film's car had also arrived.

The first thing La Peikang saw after getting out of the car was Ren Zhonglun standing five meters away with a smile on his face; this smile disgusted him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not easy, La Dong. I didn't see you before in "Detective Chinatown", but I finally saw you this time.

The last time I participated in the division of Lin Nan Film's owner-controlled film shares with the chairman of China Film Group, I thought about it. It was so far away that I almost forgot about it. Anyway, it was Director Han’s ‘Mountain Eagle’ at that time, and the location seemed to be China Film Group. hehe……"

"Yeah, Director Ren has been behind for five years. Oh, I remembered, it's "Painted Skin 2"!" La Pei replied with a smile.

Ren Zhonglun's smile froze when he heard this, but it returned to its original state in the blink of an eye:

"Well, that's right. Wasn't it the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain" that was involved in it?

I heard that China Film Group got the same share as Lin Nan, 30%! Lao Han, a mountain eagle, plays his true self, and his performance is truly worthwhile!

Not only did he have political achievements, but he also received film remuneration, which was a big plus for China Film Group, and he also gained a good reputation through self-deprecation. I guess there will be prizes later, individual prizes? "

La Peikang's smile gradually cooled down and he didn't respond.

Ren Zhonglun, however, was "strike while the iron is hot" and continued to laugh teasingly:

“It’s good to get 30% of the share. This is how the Golden Rooster happened and the return of Shanghai Film Industry.

No, Lin Nan's second main-theme commercial film "Operation Mekong" features Shanghai Film. And there’s a gold shield!

This is much bigger than the battle in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"! Thank you La Dong! "

After saying that, Ren Zhonglun made a "please" gesture, but he did not fall behind the cold-faced La Peikang, but took steps at the same time.

The two walked into Lin Nan Pictures side by side, but there was no further communication.

"These two are really explosive. But yes, China Film and Shanghai Film and Television have always been rivals."

From a distance, Yang Shoucheng and others walked over on foot. The reason why I walked was because I wanted to stretch my legs after sitting in airplanes and cars for a long time.

…………

"Director Lin, the only thing left is the people from Jindun."

Lin Nan was lying on the sofa, pillowing Liu Yifei's legs. Miss Liu was cleaning his ears when the assistant's voice and knocking on the door came from outside.

Well, the office door was ajar, because the boss lady had just gone out to throw away the peels and other rubbish.

"Whoever comes in with the left foot first will be fined 500 yuan in this month's bonus."

Even though Lin Nan was joking, the female assistant in her twenties really couldn't react for a moment, her face turned pale, and she felt a little aggrieved.

"Director Lin is joking with you, don't worry about him. Let's pack up and go down in a while."

Liu Yifei smiled and comforted her assistant, who then realized, "Thank you, boss lady."

"You are really boring. You have just graduated, right?"

"Yes, Director Yue assigned me three assistants, who are respectively responsible for the company's internal affairs, external business, as well as my work schedule and crew affairs. This one was just recruited some time ago. He is from my hometown and is responsible for the chores within the company. .You know the other two."

Lin Nan really didn't want to get up, and Liu Yifei's legs were really comfortable.

When he and Liu Yifei were lingering and preparing to go downstairs. Someone from Jindun also arrived, one of the former directors.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the large meeting on the third floor was quite strange.

Specifically reflected in La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and Yang Shoucheng.

The two chairman of the board looked at Yang Shoucheng and felt very unhappy, and they were even more worried about their own share.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning were watching the excitement from the side. They were informed in advance by Lin Nan that there would be Yinghuang this time.

After being greeted by the five families, the people of the Golden Shield were in the state of the presence of the old god; they were just watching the fun.

"Director Yang, Yinghuang actually came this time, which really surprised me."

Ren Zhonglun had a smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his tone.

"I'm really curious, how did Yinghuang join this time? Don't be offended, Mr. Yang, I'm just curious. Because it's been several years, and the collaborative lineup hasn't changed much..."

Looking at the smiling faces of La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun, whether it was Yang Shoucheng or Huo Wenxi next to them, they knew very well: China Film and Shanghai Film did not welcome Yinghuang's joining!

"I took the initiative to invite you."

At this moment, Lin Nan's voice floated over.

When everyone heard the news, they saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei standing at the door of the large conference room with smiles on their faces.

…………
