That year Huayu

It was already early 11 a.m. when Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, Lei Jiayin, and Reba left the company.

Lin Nan didn't let them have a dinner or anything, but let everyone leave.

Of course, Reba went straight to find Liu Yifei, so it was absolutely no problem to come and have lunch.

As for Lin Nan, he was sitting in the office, his attention attracted by the news on the Internet.

It seems that today is another day of mourning for listed companies and stock investors.

Because Big A seemed to be diving for the Nth time all morning, it was so green that it was numbing.

From the opening at 9:30 in the morning to just after 11 o'clock, the Shanghai Composite Index plummeted by 8%, the ChiNext Index plunged by 7%, and the latter even fell directly below 2,600 points.

In less than two hours, another trillion-level wealth was completely evaporated.

As the leading listed company in the film and television industry, Huayi's market value is approaching 40 billion, which can be called "heroic"!

Looking at the movie market, the two movies "The Lady of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" and "The Other Side" have indeed brought a lot of freshness to the summer season.

On the first day of the release, I won’t say whether the number of viewers and attendance rate were good or not, but the amount of topics and discussions online were really good.

The former probably spent a lot of money on publicity, while the latter has such popularity only because the "badness" of the previous game was too high and had its own black spots.

"Well, I didn't go to the press conference of "囧 in Hong Kong". It seems to be a wise choice!"

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

He met with several artists today, and the studio was decided in advance. It happened to conflict with the press conference of "囧 in Hong Kong", so he didn't go there.

At this time, the news of the press conference has come out.

The marketing method of the publicity team is quite exciting. They cast a live screen and asked Bao Bei'er to read out the opinions of netizens on his replacement of Wang Baoqiang in starring in "囧 in Hong Kong".

At a glance, there is not a single comment that is not abusive, and there is not a single comment that does not contain derogatory and dirty words.

In front of hundreds of media cameras at the scene, Bao Bei'er only read Article 9 before his emotions completely collapsed. He burst into tears with runny nose and tears...

This scene made both Xu Zheng and Wang Changtian a little embarrassed. The former hurriedly smoothed things over and said that the reason for choosing Bao Bei'er was because he was more suitable than Wang Baoqiang;

There was no messy stuff like those speculated by netizens on the Internet, no quarrel with Wang Baoqiang, and no backdoor stuffing.

Xu Zheng even encouraged Bao Bei'er: "Whenever you read these contents and don't cry, you will be successful."

Not to mention, after doing this, the popularity of "囧 in Hong Kong" has become even more explosive!

Although many netizens are questioning whether Bao Bei'er is acting, Lin Nan can see from the video that this is a person who has a broken mentality and cried after being "abused".

And Bao Bei'er doesn't have the acting skills and strength to show off on the spot. Well, he just cried when he was scolded!

…………

The news about the Venice International Film Festival came back very suddenly in the afternoon.

Hua Yi's "Old Paoer" instantly became the focus of public opinion.

"Produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Yu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others, the movie "Old Paoer" has been successfully shortlisted for the non-competition screening section of the Venice International Film Festival and will have its world premiere as the closing film!"

"Directors Guan Rui and Feng Xiaogang were both shortlisted for the three major European film festivals for the first time; they immediately forwarded it on Weibo to celebrate warmly..."

"Director Feng Xiaogang posted a very high-spirited post, saying that he hopes that next time he goes to the three major European film festivals, he will bring his own works to compete in the main competition!"

"Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others have forwarded it on Weibo and made an appointment to gather in Venice in early September!"

…

To be honest, Lin Nan was amused by Feng Xiaogang.

Director Feng Da, who used to "look down upon" foreign awards so much, is so "excited" this time because he was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival just as the protagonist of the film?

What about his previous appearance? What about the big talk from before?

If one day a film directed by him is shortlisted for the main competition section of the International Category A Film Festival and wins the grand prize, wouldn't he be so excited that he goes to heaven?

"It turns out that he doesn't care as much as he said. It's just that he had no chance before and could only stand outside the door of the three major universities. In fact, he is still vain and eager! This time is equivalent to a stepping stone to 'make a connection' on his own ”

Lin Nan sat on the garden swing and joked with Ning Hao on the other end of the phone.

He had just sent a message to Jiang Yuerou, asking her to organize people in advance, and she would personally lead the team and take those movies to Venice at the end of next month.

Logically speaking, it is most suitable for Lin Nan to lead the team himself. After all, he is the Golden Lion director of Venice and an old acquaintance. But, isn’t this a lack of time?

"Director Lin, Sister Yifei calls you to eat."

"Hey, Director Lin, do you have a relative at home?"

"So be it."

Lin Nan joked back to Ning Hao, then stood up and walked back.

…………

Huayi's side is holding a "celebration banquet".

As long as a film is shortlisted for the three major European A-level international film festivals, the copyright will not have to be sold.

In other words, although "Old Paoer" has not yet been released to the public, it is already destined to make money back in advance.

"It's such a pity that it was just a little short of entering the main competition section, but was assigned to the screening section."

Wang Zhonglei toasted with a smile, and Feng Xiaogang, Guan Rui, Wu Yifan, and Xu Qing immediately stood up and joined in.

"Then next time, we have plenty of opportunities."

Although the director of "Old Paoer" is Guan Fang, Feng Xiaogang is more like the "talker" of the crew, and the former seems to have acquiesced in this matter.

"This is also one of Huayi's rare works that has been shortlisted for the three major film festivals. I will go to all of them when the time comes."

When Wang Zhonglei said this, he glanced at Wu Yifan next to Feng Xiaogang.

If Huayi hadn't already abolished his artist management business, he would have signed Wu Yifan, whose ability to attract money is really too strong.

How strong is it? Even though he has no acting skills, he is still "hotly praised" by Zhou Xingchi, Jackie Chan, Xu Ke and others!

It's just that Ms. Wu is really cunning, like a loach, she can get her way between the mountains in the circle, never getting too close or too far away from any one.

"Speaking of the top three, I have to lament Lin Nan, the third double-gold director in the Chinese film industry; to be honest, I'm really envious.

I will work hard on the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" and take it out to compete for awards next year. As I get older, it will be a pity if I don’t try again. "

It was rare for Feng Xiaogang to say something like this in public. Maybe he was drunk. Anyway, Wang Zhonglei next to him was quite surprised!

…

In the afternoon, the online movie reviews exploded. The reason is mainly because of "Ma Zhen"!

"This is my first time seeing you in a movie theater. You can actually think of doing this on horseback? This screenwriter is so awesome!"

"Whoever criticizes Fan Bingbing for his lack of acting skills in the future will be damned! Look at that frowning, slightly painful expression of ecstasy, and those rolling breasts... tsk tsk tsk!"

"After the appraisal, two top directors, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhang Yimou, have made a big bad movie! Except for the interesting scene of 'Ma Zhen', the whole movie is really a mess, like a piece of shit Shit.”

"That expression doesn't look like an act! Could it be... the same as "Lust, Caution"?"

"Although it's a bad movie, it still has its bright spots! Just for that one shot, it was worth it."

"Li Chen was cheated by Li Ming!"

"I heard that the scenes of 'Ma Zhen' were directed by director Tian Zhuangzhuang? Hiss... he is indeed a great director!"

…

"The test of poison is over! There is no need to watch "The Other Side", it is really fucking bad, even worse than "The Other Side"!"

"It's not bad, it's really not bad. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it. Fan Bing...Song Hye Kyo's 'Ma Zhen' was very well shot..."

"I can see that none of the movies Wu Yusen made in the mainland are bad. He just made them because of the stupid money made by the people in the mainland film companies!"

"The leaders of state-owned enterprises with Chinese prefixes are very clever. "Red Cliff" was bad at first, and now "Taiping Wheel" is even worse, and it is still a project under their control. It is really a waste of the country's money, and I don't feel bad at all!"

…

The Internet is very lively, and so is the industry.

But Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't pay much attention to this. They finalized the final wedding guest list at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"When will we start sending them out? There is only one month left."

"Let's start sending wedding invitations a whole month in advance on the 8th of next month. Printing and handwriting will take a lot of time during this period."

Lin Nan looked at the densely packed pages of A4 paper and said to Liu Yifei with a smile.

This is already as streamlined a list as possible, but even so, it still reaches more than 800 people.

"Well, invitations will be sent out on the 8th!

Lin Nan, we haven’t yet, not yet..."

Liu Yifei curled her lips and glared at Lin Nan angrily.

"It's not my fault. Who told you it would be the end of next month?"

Spreading his hands, Lin Nan pushed back the question, and then saw Miss Liu baring her teeth at him.

But I have to say that Liu Yifei's birthday is a bit close to his.

"I'm wondering whether I should invite these people?"

Lin Nan changed the subject suddenly.

Liu Yifei knew who Lin Nan was talking about, that is, those people in the circle who did not have a good relationship with each other on weekdays, but were indeed familiar with each other, and often dealt with or had a lot of dealings with them, such as Bona, Huayi, Tangren, Feng Xiaogang and the like.

"I didn't know it was up to you to decide."

Liu Yifei shook her head and looked at Lin Nan.

"Forget it, everyone is not on the same path. There is no need to give them this little favor and face."

Lin Nan nodded and made a decision.

"Hmm, then I won't invite you."

Liu Yifei nodded with a smile. It seemed that although she said nothing, she also tended not to deal with him in her heart.
