That year Huayu

In the afternoon, everyone in the industry was watching Director Chen Da's excitement.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration to describe Chen Kaige now as "the house leaks but it rains all night".

It can even be said more harshly that Poet Chen was "beaten up".

Because the people who are causing trouble for him this time are not the ordinary movie fans and viewers, nor the scornful netizens, but the Taoist Association and the Taoist community!

An announcement "The Taoist community submitted a statement of solemn condemnation to director Chen Kaige" put director Chen Da and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", which had "reached the end of the road", once again at the top of public opinion.

So much so that the entire film and television industry could only watch the excitement trembling from the sidelines. No one dared to "support" Director Chen and no one dared to flatter him.

The announcement was full of eloquence, sharp words, excitement, and indignation. It did not save the usually aloof Director Chen at all.

In particular, the several questions raised by Director Chen Da in the announcement go straight to the point.

In a concise summary, that is:

1: On what basis did you make such a low-level and obscene movie to belittle, insult, and slander Taoism? What is your purpose?

(The first thing the protagonist does after coming down from the mountain is to rob and eat meat. That is to say, he completely deviates from the basic moral standards of monks and Taoists and vilifies his image...)

Two: The protagonist peeks into privacy from a high ladder and becomes lustful. Mr. Chen, what is your morality when you photograph Taoist priests in such a vulgar and vulgar way?

(The pornographic clips involved in this film are not only shown in a large space, but also used as a gimmick to promote the film. This approach is to instigate lust and seduce teenagers.

Use low-level and vulgar obscene metaphors to attract the audience to achieve your own commercial purposes! Not to mention that such low-level content violates the teachings of Taoism, even from a universal social moral perspective, it is intolerable and unreasonable... and distorts the core values ​​advocated today. )

Three: The protagonist of the film is a Taoist priest, but in the film, after killing someone, he knelt down and confessed to the monk in order to seek comfort. Mr. Chen, what are your intentions?

(Are you promoting Buddhism and suppressing Taoism? Affecting religious harmony? Deliberately creating conflicts and disputes between religions? Is your intention to disparage Taoism in this way? Or is it deliberately instigated by foreign investors or other forces? ?)

Four: Wantonly vilifying Taoism, violating many policies and regulations...how on earth will it pass the review?

…………

After hearing the news on the Internet, there was an uproar quickly; but the film and television industry and related departments were all silent, and there was silence.

Online public opinion is overwhelmingly supportive of demands such as the full release of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", a public apology from director Chen Da and the producer, and the elimination of all negative effects the film has had on the Taoist community!

"Although Director Chen has a high self-esteem and strong connections, no matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, he will never dare to refute this time.

Therefore, he should remain silent and say nothing. As for an apology? How could someone who cares so much about his face apologize publicly? Absolutely impossible! To him, silence is the greatest form of resignation. "

Lin Nan looked at the news and couldn't help but draw a conclusion, with a bit of sadness in his tone;

Because this "appreciation" is indeed a bit scary, especially the one that questions Chen Kaige about "promoting Buddhism and restraining Taoism."

"Director Chen's movie is so cool! But Director Lin, are you sure he will remain silent and not apologize?

You can tell them over there, if they don’t apologize, they will use legal weapons to defend the dignity of the Taoist community and the national religion to the death! "

"Me? How can I be sure? This guy is so serious! I guess the official will come out and make peace in the end."

Lin Nan joked with a smile. I guess Chen Kaige is having a headache right now. There are definitely a lot of media and even officials looking for him.

After chatting about the gossip, Guo Fan talked about "Get Out!" "Tumor King".

As of today, there is actually nothing left to do to promote this movie.

Because during the Shanghai International Film Festival, most of the publicity work has been done.

"Then let's rest and let them go their separate ways. After "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is released early next month, the premiere of "Tumor King" will be held."

"Well, okay. But it seems that in the second half of the year, our company will be seen every month?"

Guo Fan’s words are true. Lin Nan Pictures’ films are exclusively produced, produced or participated in investment, from the summer season in early July to the Lunar New Year film, through New Year’s Eve, and then to the Spring Festival film.

…

Throughout the afternoon, news about various celebrities' failure in the stock market continued to appear on the Internet and flooded the screen.

...Fan Bingbing 220 million+, Zhang Ziyi 470 million, Nicholas Tse 250 million+, Zhou Xingchi 400 million...Liu Yan more than 17 million, Xie Nan...

This information has attracted the attention of countless netizens and made everyone sympathize; but unfortunately, they can only succumb to the headlines of Director Chen Da.

In other words, the focus of public opinion that the entire network is paying attention to has not shifted at all!

In the evening, Lin Nan sat in the garden blowing the evening breeze and talked on the phone with his biological father, mainly discussing the latter's itinerary.

According to his idea, Lao Lintou can come over at the end of this month, play for a month first, and then wait to attend the wedding and take the main seat.

But Lin Nan obviously overestimated the weight of his words, and was retorted for a while:

"Uh, what are you doing here this morning? Playing? You're so busy that you have to stifle people to death? Do you have time to wander around with me? Or do you have a lot of acquaintances and friends in the capital that you can talk to? At the end of next month... in advance Half a month..."

Good guy, Lin Nan only mentioned one sentence, and Old Lintou responded a lot.

But not to mention, his words showed that he was very thoughtful, and he had definitely planned and thought about it long ago.

"Da, let's not wait until the end of next month, but the end of next month. Come over in the early 20th, right?"

"Huh? That's okay! Just around the 20th... How are you two doing lately?"

"Okay, always good."

"That's good. Well, it's not easy to finally wait for the day you are going to get married..."

Lin Nan listened to the emotion for as long as the phone call lasted.

It can also be heard from Old Lintou's tone that his mental state has relaxed a lot; but it can also be heard that he is obviously older.

Liu Yifei took the notebook and was already making the guest list. Write a little bit every day, check for omissions and fill them in, and try not to miss anyone.

Of course, in the end, Lin Nan and she would ask some friends to come over to help check and see if there was anything missing.

In addition, Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu will also help prepare two lists for comparison and reference to add or delete personnel when deciding on the roster.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it’s already the 15th of the month.

Since early in the morning, Alibaba Pictures has helped Director Chen share a considerable part of the "burden" of public opinion.

Because the entire network, including the film and television entertainment industry, has another focus of attention.

The headlines of film and television entertainment information on major portal websites, as well as the top searches on Weibo - all are links to Alibaba Pictures' webpage on the online voting for the male and female protagonists of the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds"!

"Exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures and adapted from the popular novel IP, the large-scale costume myth love movie "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" of the same name will officially start the online voting event at 10 o'clock this morning.

This event aims to let every fan, audience, and fan choose the movie protagonist in their heart! National participation..."

I have to admit that although the industry is very repulsive and derogatory to this "deviant" casting method;

But this casting method is exciting and sought after by countless netizens and fans.

"After waiting for 10 days, it's finally starting! I want to vote for Fan Bingbing..."

"It's my first time to participate in the casting of a blockbuster. I'm inexplicably excited and excited, isn't it? Alibaba is indeed an industry disruptor, Ma Yun is awesome!"

"Those who are rushing to the front today should be fans of various actors and stars, right?"

"Stay away from some swarms of wasps, they will sting you..."

"Why are there so many 'lice'? It's so disgusting!"

"Choose Yang Ying, she works very hard."

…

"I vote for Hu Ge! Xianxia, ​​fantasy..."

"Hu Ge is old, choose Li Yifeng!"

"Support Wu Yifan!"

"Don't leave those old bacon out, they're an eyesore."

…

As ten o'clock in the morning arrived, the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" online soared, and there was a tendency to shoulder all the "burden of public opinion" for Director Chen.

The entire film industry couldn't help but care about the film's online voting.

Because the production model of "popular IP + fan movies + great directors" was proposed by Alibaba Pictures, there are many industry participants.

The casting model of "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" this time is a more in-depth implementation of the "fan film" in the previous production model.

If it succeeds, everyone can feel free to follow suit.

The voting for the leading actors and actresses in the movie has begun, but at the same time, the Internet has been flooded with a steady stream of press releases.

To canvass votes, flatter, insinuate, smear, expose shortcomings, expose scandals...

Sure enough, it is true to that sentence - in the face of resources, everyone relies on their own methods and uses every possible means!

…

Near noon, several producers met again at Lin Nan Pictures.

Everyone checked the contract and completed the final signing of "Operation Mekong".

Lin Nan did not stay with these six families for dinner, because they were all deputies; and these people did not intend to stay longer, and hurried back with the signed contracts, as if the leaders above were impatient to see the contracts. Same.

When Lin Nan returned home, he saw Shu Chang standing in front of Liu Yifei dancing and shouting something.

Miss Liu had a surprised expression on her face, and then a smile overflowed on her face, as if she had heard something very funny.

"What kind of dance are you doing?"

After parking the car, Lin Nan shouted to Shu Chang from a distance.

"How do you talk? What does a master dance mean? Do you understand that I am performing?"

Shu Chang rolled his eyes and retorted to Lin Nan.

"So, what are you talking about? I can't stop laughing."

"In the online voting for Alibaba Pictures' film "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", my and Changchang's names were also on it..."

Halfway through her words, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh again, and she and Shu Chang laughed more happily than the other.

"Ahem, not only are Sissi and I's names on it, but the number of votes this morning was 'top of the list'!"

Shu Chang stood there with his arms crossed and his chest slightly raised, facing Liu Yifei who was sitting in front of him.

"How many are at the top?"

"Currently, I am first and she is second."

Liu Yifei stretched out her right index finger, pointed at herself gently, and then pointed at Shu Chang, her smile blooming again.

"Director Lin, let me judge you. I have played the role of a vixen before and received rave reviews! To be ranked second? Huh, you have no discernment!"
