That year Huayu

Old Lin couldn't stay at home, and he didn't have much in common with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

During lunch, the three of them chatted and laughed, and basically talked about everything they could.

So in the afternoon, Old Lin drove out to visit the capital by himself, and didn't let anyone follow him.

Lin Nan didn't need to guess which solemn places he would go to first, nothing more than: Tiananmen Square, Chairman's Memorial Hall, Heroes Monument...

Then there would be other historical attractions; it was estimated that in more than half a month, he should be able to visit many places he had never visited before.

"Have you noticed that when talking about you will officially join Beijing Film Academy and teach as an associate professor after September, our dad laughed very happily."

Liu Yifei's pair of smooth calves and feet were retracted, curled up on the sofa, and her upper body leaned against Lin Nan.

She observed carefully and talked about her discovery half an hour ago.

"Parents in most families are very traditional. Although they know that I have a high position in the film and television industry, being a university teacher and associate professor still makes him feel more at ease.

Just like in some provinces, the most perfect identity for their children in the minds of parents must be civil servants. Well, this is what Yue Jun and I have complained about, and the leader and Huang Bo agree very much!"

Lin Nan explained with a smile. He knew that Old Lin was very satisfied with his decision to enter the system and his identity as an associate professor, because Old Lin was also a very traditional person.

"Let's go. We can't stay at home all the time. Let's go to the cinema and watch the movie "Terminator: Genisys" that was released today."

"Okay, wait for me to change clothes. I won't wear a skirt. If I get recognized, I won't be able to run fast..."

Liu Yifei heard this and immediately stood up with a smile, walked out in flip-flops, and went back to the next door to change clothes.

...

In the film industry, who was the last person to use slogans such as "Masterpiece" and "Movie Master" to promote movies?

It seems to be Wu Yusen.

He acquiesced to the promotion of the film producers and the media, and the film works involved were the "The Crossing" series and the "Red Cliff" series.

You know, even Chen Kaige was very cautious and avoided the word "master" when promoting his movies, although he has long regarded himself as a "master".

In short, I don't know why, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors can always accept the title of "master" with peace of mind, and speak and act in this capacity.

And this time the "master" is Hou Xiaoxian.

The premiere of "The Assassin Nie Yinniang" gathered almost half of the filmmakers and directors in the mainland film circle from morning to afternoon.

Including Jiang Wen, who has not appeared for a long time, Xu Ke, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Xu Zheng... Han Han, Guo Jingming and others, all attended.

Let’s look at the banners and posters at the premiere reported online:

“The biggest event in the film industry this year is to see ‘Hou Xiaoxian’ in mainland cinemas”;

“The dignity of Chinese films has been missing for a long time”;

“After eight years and consuming 440,000 feet of film, Master Hou Xiaoxian has delivered this simple and exquisite, calm and fierce costume martial arts epic, an epic work”;

“Masterpiece, director’s ingenuity”…

Whether it is slogans, momentum, or Director Hou’s “heart-wrenching” “pointing out the world” about mainland domestic films, all of them confirm his identity as a “master”.

Even Lin Nan, who was watching the movie in the cinema, couldn’t bear to watch it anymore, because Ning Hao, who was at the premiere, sent him several complaints in a row, saying that he was too pretentious!

…

I originally thought that the General Administration’s industry conference on “high pay” would not have any direct relationship with Lin Nan Pictures, and Yue Jun was just going to deal with an errand.

But Lin Nan still miscalculated, and the meeting was held for two consecutive days.

Yesterday, it was fine, as they were talking about the pay for movies and TV series; but today, it’s different, and reality shows are singled out.

Among them, Lin Nan Films’ “Running Man” was named, along with “Go Fighting” and “Where Are We Going, Dad?”, and was asked to be cautious about the pay of actors and artists!

There’s nothing you can do. How much money does an actor make from acting in a movie after spending so much time? But a season of reality shows… that’s really lucrative!

Huang Bo makes 36 million per season, and with his company’s contracted artist Wang Xun, the package price is 48 million; Huang Lei, 30 million per season; Sun Honglei, 3 million per day!

Deng Chao makes 28 million per season… Liu Ye takes his son, 4.5 million per day… Fan Bingbing makes 60 million per season, the most among female stars, and scared away the “Amazing Race” program team…

It can only be said that this situation is driven by the general trend of the industry, and it cannot be rectified by a verbal request for “rectification”!

Lin Nan Pictures can only ensure that the adjustment is reasonable and will not increase too crazy. After all, the program is making more and more money, and it is unreasonable not to increase the pay of the artists.

"We agreed to go out to watch a movie, but we ended up chatting about gossip and working in the cinema. Haha, I am also impressed by myself."

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei found a coffee shop outside, and the iced coffee was quite refreshing.

"You didn't delay for long."

Miss Liu held the coffee cup and smiled.

"I am looking forward to the slap in the face of 'Master Hou''s' movie this time. This person puts himself too high, thinks that his music is high and few people understand him, and is more arrogant than Director Chen."

Lin Nan flipped through his phone and complained again.

The headlines of entertainment news at the moment are the news that Hou Xiaoxian believes that mainland movies have embarked on a "wrong path" and have been seriously suppressed by the market and the audience.

"Huh? Mom..."

Liu Yifei's cell phone rang suddenly, and she quickly answered the call.

"Yeah, okay, let's set off tomorrow morning. Lin Nan and I will remember it."

A few minutes later, Lin Nan watched Miss Liu hang up the phone and asked: "Is it because of the flight back tomorrow morning?"

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, "Originally, I was going to stay with grandma and the others, but my mother said that it would be inappropriate and rude for her not to come back if we were left at home."

I have to say that Liu Xiaoli is quite thoughtful.

“Then continue to the airport tomorrow.

Now, um, it's almost done. Shall we go back? "

"Let's go."

Before Lin Nan could react, Liu Yifei had already picked up her bag and stood up with a smile.

Normally, the two of them would not go back so early when they were out for a stroll; but not today. There is still a parent at home who should be back soon.

…

China Film Academy, small auditorium.

La Peikang is receiving Zhou Xingchi and Ren Zhonglun. The announcement of "Mermaid" is planned to be carried out five months in advance, starting from September.

This represents the three producers' naked ambitions and unparalleled confidence in the film's box office.

"You really don't need to invite Director Lin Nan to sit down and chat together? Lin Nan Pictures is the largest producer."

Zhou Xingchi asked in a somewhat unstandardized Mandarin, speaking very slowly.

‘He has already replied, it’s up to us to decide. ’

"We are about to get married. How can Lin Nan have the heart to come and talk about this in person? Haha..."

Ren Zhonglun took over La Peikang's words and said to Zhou Xingchi.

Immediately, he glanced at La Peikang: "Lin Nan shouldn't have been to China Film Group for nearly half a year, right?"

Zhou Xingchi didn't know the specific situation. He just felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the table.

La Peikang did not answer, but continued talking about "The Mermaid":

"Lin Nan had a good idea before. When we were doing online publicity and marketing, the core focus was: 'We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket'..."

"okay."

Zhou Xingchi was the first to nod in agreement. As long as it is for the best benefit of the box office, he fully supports it.

Ren Zhonglun also had no objection. After the announcement of "Mermaid" was finalized, he still had Jackie Chan's dinner in the evening.

As for La Peikang and Zhou Xingchi, they definitely have something to talk about in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Ren Zhonglun is very vindictive. Just like Han Sanping back then, La Peikang excluded Shanghai Film from the project "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters".

…

Liu Yifei was even more embarrassed than Lin Nan. On the first day that Lao Lin came here, he personally cooked dinner for them both.

She and Lin Nan usually order food when Liu Xiaoli is away.

After the three of them had dinner, Director Lin turned on the TV for his father because he wanted to watch the evening news.

Lin Nan herself and Liu Yifei went to the yard to walk the dog, take a walk, and watch the stars. Let's stay a little longer, they will live separately at night!

One night, even though they were only a few dozen meters apart, the two of them had to turn on the video chat, which was very speechless.

Then they just chatted, the sound gradually became quieter, and finally they fell asleep, until the mobile phone ran out of battery in the middle of the night and turned off automatically.

Early the next morning, at seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan enjoyed a long-lost "violent wake-up call" service!

Old Lintou knocked on the door and called him to have breakfast, and asked him to check on Liu Yifei to see if he was awake.

After Lin Nan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He ran to the next door and opened the door of Liu Yifei's room with the key. His first words after waking her up were: "Sissi, your habit of sleeping in is exposed!"

Ms. Liu, who originally wanted to lose her temper and said that it was not yet time to pick up the plane from the airport, "frozen" on the bed.

When she followed Lin Nan back to her hometown, she got up very early on purpose!

During the engagement last year, including when Lao Lin came to the capital to stay with Lin Nan, because Liu Xiaoli was at home, she was not...exposed...

Today, I forgot~forgot~!

Her perfect image... gone?

"It's all your fault for going out. I went to bed very early last night..."

"Sissi, it was you who made the video call to me. It was you who asked me to chat with you!"

"No, I remember it's you, it's all you..."

Well, Lin Nan has become the "culprit" that caused Liu Yifei's embarrassment. It is simply unreasonable.

…

When picking up Liu Xiaoli at the airport, she was inevitably "caught" by the media again.

When faced with this situation, Liu Xiaoli was undoubtedly more capable than Lao Lintou; she smiled, and after saying hello and responding, she followed Liu Yifei into the car.

When I got home, it turned out that it was the girl's parent who had to entertain Old Lintou, the male parent.

Both parties have equal status, so when they speak, it becomes much more natural.

At this point, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are completely "liberated", because the rest is the parents' business!

As for Liu Yifei's grandmother, aunt and other relatives, according to Liu Xiaoli, they will all come by the end of the month, leaving only four or five days.

…………

"The Return of the Great Sage", an animated film that has obtained the secret key to postponement, did not complete the last week of its release period. Unfortunately, it stopped on late August 24th.

In the movie information, the media has already reported:

"Produced by Shiyue Culture, a subsidiary of Tiangong Colors, the animated movie "The Return of the Great Sage" has been in theaters for 53 days, with a total box office revenue of 1.366 billion. The box office potential has been exhausted, and theaters will give it a nod this afternoon.

The movie "The Return of the Great Sage" has become the record holder of the highest box office in the domestic animated film industry, and is the first animated film with a box office of 1 billion..."

"Many departments such as publicity and culture praised "The Return of the Great Sage" by name for setting a correct benchmark and model for the domestic animated film industry and promoting Chinese culture..."

"Produced by Paramount Pictures, written by James Cameron, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke and others, the imported blockbuster "Terminator: Genisys" made a strong box office of 154 million on its first day of release in China. !”

"The total box office of director Guo Fan's film "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" has reached 680 million..."

"The two films "Terminator: Genisys" and "Get Out!" accounted for 94% and 4.7% of the box office of the movie market respectively. Domestic films such as "Scorching the Sun" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang" may suffer The road to money is difficult!”

…

""Xiuchundao 2" is 710 million, "The Return of the Great Sage" is 1.366 billion, plus "Get Out! Tumor King" which has reached 680 million;

Gee, these three movies of your company have grossed 2.756 billion at the box office, and they are all exclusively produced! Do you know how conspicuous you are now in the industry? "

In the afternoon, when Lin Nan was lying on the swing, Wang Changtian called over, his tone extremely sour.

"Based on the current figure, after deducting the 5% film special fund and the 3.3% surcharge, the distributor and producer can get the remaining 91.7% 43%, which is... 1.0867 billion! As a distributor, Ray Fang also wants to keep 10%, and I will deduct all the costs... Oh, Director Wang, there is not much left for this small business. "

Lin Nan joked that he actually made a lot of money.

Because of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "Get Out!" The cost of the three movies "Tumor King" and "The Return of the Great Sage" were 90 million, 40 million and 80 million respectively.

"Haha, do you think I don't know the cost of your three movies? Even if "Get Out! Tumor King" doesn't have much box office, let it be released right now, but the three movies added up, in the end The net profit in the hands of Lin Nan Pictures, the producer, is also around 770 million, am I right?”

Damn it, Lin Nan is really speechless.

"Director Wang, you are really good. You are quite accurate in calculating my company's income! Didn't you spend less energy?

If you have the time, you might as well worry more about Guangguang's stock price. The fluctuation in the morning is hundreds of millions or more than a billion.

These three films of mine are purely a waste of time and effort and hard-earned money. The longest-running game, "The Return of the Great Sage," took two and a half years, and that was after I took over! "

"Just change the subject. Can the profits of the film industry be confused with the financial industry? It's also related to the stock market.

If your company is a listed company, based on the profits from these three movies, even if there is a stock market crash, your side will definitely not be green! "

"Huh? There's nothing wrong with that. If it continues to fall, how can we go public? But if we really want to go public... that's impossible! Haha..."

Lin Nan knew that there were people outside trying to figure him out.

Sure enough, Wang Changtian was intrigued by him, but was shocked again.

"You, just guard your three-thirds of an acre of land and make others jealous," Wang Changtian seemed to be saying to himself, quite regretfully.

Lin Nan smiled and couldn't help but said, "I would also like to thank Director Wang for the call."

"Thank me, why are you thanking me?"

"After talking on the phone with you, I feel a lot calmer. I am not so nervous, excited or excited anymore. My mind and heart were buzzing just now."

"what's the situation?"

"Haha...can't say it, can't say it..."

"You're still putting it on!"

…………

I have to say that this is indeed a major event in life. After one night, Lin Nan became more and more nervous and excited. It was really complicated!

Although he is a top director in the industry, he is also an ordinary person.

On the morning of the 25th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both woke up very early. No one called them, they just woke up early consciously!

At eight o'clock sharp, when Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei, she had already washed up and changed her clothes. She had a red face, but she was rarely seen.

Miss Liu was dressed quite "simplely" today. She wore small high heels, belted casual pants, and a white women's shirt on her upper body. The most important thing is that she was bare-faced!

But even without makeup, her delicate pink face, rosy lips, thick eyelashes, and long black hair shawl... still look like she is wearing light makeup.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"

Glancing at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei pouted and said in disgust. Her voice was a little soft and soft. It seemed that she was also a little nervous and excited.

"Why are you dressed so shabbily?"

"Don't we need to take ID photos? On the marriage certificate..."

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Lin Nan. Her voice became softer and quieter, as quiet as a mosquito. In the end, she even glared at him shyly, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

"Oh, I'm not late, am I? I'll be your driver today..."

The ambiguous atmosphere was ruined by Shu Chang.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei heard the sound and looked towards the door of the villa. Shu Chang, dressed in sportswear and with a high ponytail, really... came to be a driver!

"It's not too late. You will accompany Sissi later. I have just ordered a cake. I will be back at noon, just in time to eat the cake!"

Liu Xiaoli came down from upstairs with a smile. Today is her daughter's birthday.

"Okay, godmother, I promise to complete the task!"

Shu Chang became playful and saluted Liu Xiaoli with a smile.

"Sissi, see if everything is ready?"

Lin Nan took the initiative and asked Liu Yifei.

"Ah? I, oh, wait for me..."

Liu Yifei, who was still giggling, was extremely stupid. When she heard Lin Nan's question, she immediately ran upstairs in a hurry.

She is a Hong Kong Island citizen and needs to bring her ID card.

"Lin Nan, you go early and come back early. At ten o'clock, I will order lunch to celebrate your...and Sissi's birthday."

"Mom, we'll be back soon after we finish our business."

Lin Nan nodded seriously, which was also a promise.

From the first time Liu Xiaoli talked to him about Liu Yifei to now, it really seems like yesterday.

"Okay, bring it all."

Liu Yifei carried her bag and walked quickly down from the second floor. There was lightness and joy in her steps.

"Go ahead."

Looking at her daughter holding Lin Nan's arm, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said softly.

At this time, Shu Chang had already driven Liu Xiaoli's most low-key white BMW out of the garage;

As for the car Shu Chang drove, it was also a sports car. It was a bit too conspicuous when driving to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Um."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked out of the villa and got into the back seat of the car.

At this time, Lao Lintou also came from next door with two dogs.

There was a rare happy look on his face, with a sense of relief that he had finally let go of his burden.

"Hurry up, go early and do it early..."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei waved to Lao Lintou and Liu Xiaoli outside; Shu Chang stepped on the accelerator and the white BMW drove out slowly.

…

Along the way, Liu Yifei leaned against Lin Nan, her nervousness gradually dissipated, and she became cheerful and playful.

"Will we still have to queue up?"

"How long do I need to wait in line?"

"Will we both be watched?"

"When taking pictures, you'd better smile happily, otherwise, hum..."

"Oh no, I can't wait to think about it, hehe..."

…

Liu Yifei really showed her true nature, chattering endlessly, being silly and naive. This is her private side, not the "Liu Yifei" in front of the camera!

The journey was not far, and the three of them arrived at half past nine.

But unfortunately, Liu Yifei was right and she really had to queue up!

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked into the Civil Affairs Hall with their "assistant" Shu Chang, more than a dozen pairs of people inside all looked over, with shock, excitement, and surprise on their faces...

"Liu Yifei?"

"Director Lin Nan!"

"Mobile phone, mobile phone, quick!"

"Shu Chang carries the bag?"

"Go up and ask for a photo? An autograph?"

"Director Lin and Liu Yifei, are you here to register today?"

…

The noisy sound seemed to explode instantly, and even many staff members looked over.

At this moment, several more security officers came in at the entrance of the hall, ready to maintain order.

"Director Lin, because we often have celebrities come to register or something like that, we are very skilled in dealing with it. Previously, that person from JD.com was blocked at the door by the media that day..."

"Thanks……"

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat in the corner, Shu Chang accompanied Liu Yifei, and the three of them tried to keep a low profile.

But even so, those people in the queue in front or behind Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in the distance are constantly looking over here, taking candid photos, posting on Weibo, and posting on WeChat Moments...

Only ten minutes after queuing, the Internet was already abuzz. Many media reporters had even caught wind of the news and rushed here quickly.

"According to multiple netizens' Weibo reports, Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared... at the Civil Affairs Hall, queuing up, waiting to take photos and register..."

"The photos on Weibo undoubtedly show that Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are dressed formally, with their fingers clasped tightly, cuddling each other...accompanied by their best friend Shu Chang."

…

"Really! Let me go, did you really just register your marriage today?!"

"No wonder I didn't hear anything about Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei getting their licenses before. I thought they had secretly registered on Hong Kong Island."

"Wow, Director Lin is really thoughtful! Today is Liu Yifei's birthday!"

“The marriage will be registered on the woman’s birthday and the wedding will be held on the man’s birthday. It’s perfect!”

…

"Oh my, Director Lin is a little handsome today, and Yifei is even more beautiful! Our advocate is really like an assistant carrying a bag with him, haha..."

"Is there a birthday party? I'm coming over for lunch?"

"+1, I'm in the capital too."

"+1"

"+1"

"I'm looking forward to Director Lin and Yifei showing off their marriage certificates, and I'm waiting to send my blessings! You guys will do the wedding first, and then I..."

"It's been a long journey, and I'm finally getting my certificate. You two are really... enviable!"

…

At early ten o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finally finished taking photos.

"Director Lin, Ms. Liu, your photos don't need to be edited at all. I feel like our cameras are a bit insulting to both of you."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei gathered in front of the computer and looked at the group photo, which was already very good.

Although the photo was not one tenth as beautiful, the staff did try their best.

But even so, Liu Yifei's bare-faced photos are still very impressive, better than most actresses in the industry, and the same goes for Lin Nan; the two of them have one of the best looks - talent and beauty!

"Lin Nan, let's go over there."

With a smile on her face, Liu Yifei took Lin Nan's hand and was about to stamp it!

"Well, let's go."

Sitting in front of the staff, there was no mother-in-law or mother like in the TV series. The other party simply stamped the two marriage certificates and handed them to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin and Ms. Liu. In about one to two hours, their registration information will be entered into the system and can be queried in the relevant departments."

"Thanks."

"Thanks,"

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei said in unison, with indescribable joy on their faces.

The two looked at each other and became even more excited; at this moment, it was really hard to calm down and their noses were a little sore.

"Don't look here. There are many reporters outside. Let's go quickly."

Shu Chang pulled Liu Yifei and urged the two of them, ruining the atmosphere once again.

"From today on, Sissi, you and I are married!"

Holding Liu Yifei's hand, Lin Nan said softly while walking.

"Yeah, married people, hehehe..."

"I can't stand you two anymore. Stop spreading your dog food and avoid the reporters first... Hey, why did we kiss you? Really!"
