That year Huayu

Early in the morning, the film industry saw a piece of very annoying film and television information;

Hollywood's imported blockbuster, "The Force Awakens", the seventh installment in Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" series, dropped on January 9th and was added to the Lunar New Year slot!

For a time, China Film became the target of public criticism and was criticized by the entire film industry. It did not do many good things, but it was easy to do bad things.

Even Lin Nan had to admit that the pressure doubled instantly, but it didn't matter because it was still within his acceptable range;

It's nothing more than continuing to increase the promotion and distribution of "Detective Chinatown". Fortunately, there are still ten days left.

Nortel, School of Acting.

Since the casting announcement of Hongxingwu was released yesterday afternoon, only one night has passed, and it has already spread throughout the circle, causing a stir, and no one knows about it.

Although Liu Yifei had previously said in the promotional activities of "Detective Chinatown" that some actors would be selected from the three major institutions, and the institution also hinted that there would be quotas;

But when the current students actually saw the words "Art School" clearly written in the casting announcement, everyone was completely relieved.

Next, it’s up to everyone to depend on their abilities and their own fate!

Since the morning, a large number of students from the acting academy have been working on audition resumes, and they are also repeatedly considering and revising the ones they have done before.

There are even teachers from the acting department who will provide guidance on how to make a more "conspicuous" audition resume.

After all, the current students basically have mediocre resumes, almost none.

And the news from the outside has spread. Among the people responsible for the audition this time, there is a senior TV drama producer in the industry: Jiang Yuerou!

Therefore, the audition resume must be formal, rigorous, and able to leave an "impression" on people.

“This is one of the few dramas in the industry that is recognized as a hit before it even starts, and almost no one in the industry questions this view;

Because it is written, filmed and post-produced by Lin Nan Pictures. But this also means another thing, that is, competition for roles will be particularly fierce.

The consistent style of our acting department is to become famous early, and facts have proven that this is right. Good resources in the industry are rarely open to current students, and I hope you will pay attention to them. "

In the lecture theater, the Grade 13 instructor of the Performance Department gave very serious and sincere instructions to the four-year undergraduates and a few vocational students who came today.

All the students present were bright-eyed and eager to try.

“...I would also like to remind you that your opponents are in the middle and top, so don’t take them lightly.

In addition, all students with acting resumes should cherish the opportunity as much as possible, and your success rate will be higher than others..."

"Hey, did you hear that? The instructor is talking about you above."

Meng Ziyi bumped Chen Yao with his elbow, his movements were carefree but his tone was sneaky.

The latter had a helpless smile on his face and looked at his deskmate, "Then, go and try?"

"I definitely have to try it. Let's go together."

…

Similar to Nortel, many students here at China Theater are also submitting resumes for auditions.

"Although it's easy to offend people if you say this out loud, it doesn't matter to us on campus.

In other words, Nortel directors are naturally close to our actors in Chinese dramas. Well, the director's wife is also close to Zhu Zhechi. "

The performance department teacher’s “joke” immediately made everyone present laugh.

"If you have an idea, go and try it. Director Lin and Producer Liu came to the school last month to promote it. The classmate who introduced himself when asking questions, you have an advantage this time. You have already made a good impression."

The department leader smiled and joked on the side, and many students immediately looked at a girl with envy in their eyes.

Starting from the morning of the 21st, audition resumes flooded into Red Star Wood by mail or mail like a swarm of swarms;

Letters of audition invitations were also sent out from Hongxingwu and sent to the agencies or agents of the dozen male actors selected by Jiang Yueren and the Hongxingwu team.

The casting and audition work for the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has officially started.

…

On the Internet, the publicity war between "Lao Pao Er" and "Bad Angel" is getting more and more intense;

Fans and fans on both sides are already at odds with each other, and there are even faint signs of mutual attacks and online violence... But overall, "Old Paoer" has the upper hand.

After all, when it comes to fans, Huayi has two traffic stars, commonly known as little fresh meat!

The craziness of their fans is simply eye-popping. Their words and deeds are just like the "little yellow hair" who voluntarily dropped out of school before completing nine years of compulsory education.

"As of yesterday, the 22nd, the total box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" has reached 1.948 billion, just shy of 2 billion, but yesterday's daily revenue... was 12.08 million."

Lin Nan understands why Yue Jun's tone is getting lower and lower, because including today, there are only 5 days left for the release of "The Secret of the Dragon"; the total box office of 2 billion is a bit dangerous!

"As I said before, do your best to obey fate."

Lin Nan was also helpless. The superiors refused to grant an extension, which made everyone fearful. Wang Changtian scolded him the most.

Because...for example, although the difference between 1.99 billion and 2 billion is only 10 million, the stimulation of the stock price is much different. The latter can even double the time for the light to glow red.

"By the way, Director Jiang hasn't been back for the past two days?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked.

"Well, I'll come back to pick up some things at most, and I'll spend the rest of the time at Hongxingwu. I heard that there are so many people submitting resumes for auditions, haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded when he heard this. Liu Yifei had "complained" in front of him yesterday, and looking at her resume gave her a headache.

After all, it has been publicly stated that current students will be used. According to the situation of the school, I am afraid that 9 and a half of the 10 students will come to try their luck, and the remaining half will also be urged to come and try.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Hongxingwu.

Jiang Yuerou and five other people were quickly flipping through audition resumes. At the same time, the mailbox kept popping up, and people from other companies came to send resumes at the front desk from time to time.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were in the warm-colored office, browsing the information about the auditionees who had been screened by Jiang Yuerou and others.

The delicate roses on the table and the life-size Winnie the Pooh beside it are very eye-catching.

"Auditions will start in the morning the day after tomorrow, and the starring list will be finalized by early January at the latest. Filming will start after the Spring Festival. Changchang, be prepared yourself."

Liu Yifei casually put aside the roster of a dozen people including Qiao Zhenyu, Zhong Hanliang, Zhang Zhiyao, Huang Haibing, and looked at Shu Chang who was arranging roses there, and reminded her.

"I understand. Are those those who have been invited and confirmed to participate in the audition?"

"Who do you think will refuse? Although they are all supporting roles." Liu Yifei said arrogantly.

"Okay, okay, don't show off, it's all for the sake of your great director. But don't mention it, the lineup of male actors is really luxurious!"

Across a large cluster of roses, Shu Chang blinked at Liu Yifei. These actors would all be matching her.

"Am I showing off? Hehehe..."

Rolling her eyes, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, you said you didn't show off. How shameless."

…

One person eats lunch alone, goes for a walk alone, and leads a team to do promotional activities alone.

After the promotional interview, Lin Nan was about to leave, but Wang Changtian insisted on keeping him here for tea!

"I heard that Wanda's boss is very happy. He sang several songs at the annual meeting last night. It seems that Ye Ning is an executive who has been praised and rewarded. He should have won quite a few annual awards..."

Wang Changtian teased, as if he wanted to call Ye Ning out to treat him.

As Wanda's partners, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian had both received invitations to Wanda's annual meeting before, but neither of them went because they felt awkward.

"The total box office of the domestic film market this year is not low. As the largest theater chain, Wanda Cinema Line will definitely make a lot of money. In addition, the film company he is in charge of also makes a lot of box office profits, so he is naturally the target of special awards. "

Lin Nan nodded and agreed.

While Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting, Ye Ning saw off the last theater manager at Wanda Cinema Company;

At this point, he had finished talking to all his subordinates who needed to talk.

And there was only one last step left in his plan, which was to submit his resignation;

In addition to this, there is also only the last remaining shackle that binds him and the theater managers.

"A non-compete agreement!"

All middle and upper-level management of all Wanda's companies have non-compete agreements; the higher the level of management, the more stringent the non-competition agreements they have.

But it doesn't matter... Huayi will pay for them! Ye Ning's contract has been signed.

…

The time has finally arrived on the 24th, when Enlight's "Bad Angel" and Huayi's "Old Paoer" officially entered the Lunar New Year stalls.

"Produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Fu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others, the action blockbuster "Old Paoer" was launched in theaters nationwide in the early morning..."

"Co-produced by Enlight Pictures and Deng Chao's Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, and starring the husband-and-wife team of Deng Chao and Sun Li, the absurd comedy romance film "Villain Angel" is officially released!"

"Some media broke the news that a large number of Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng fans have booked venues for their idols..."

"Director Feng Xiaogang posted several Weibo posts, calling on the audience and fans to go to the theater and support "Old Paoer"..."

Everyone in the industry knows that starting from today, "The Secret of the Dragon" will accelerate towards the end.

At this moment, it is still 40 million short of the 2 billion box office threshold, with only 4 days left!

Lin Nan didn't pay attention to that. As he said, at this point he could only resign himself to fate, and he continued to lead the team to promote "Detective Chinatown"!

Jiaxing.

When Yang Mi finally came back to rest for a long time, Zeng Jia told her a "good" thing.

"You said you asked the company's artists to submit their audition resumes for Red Star Wood?"

"Well, that's right, let's give it a try. If you're lucky, it's a good thing! Then we'll link up with you..."

"Then you're probably just daydreaming. If Jiang Yuerou helps with the audition, will she take advantage of our people? The possibility of giving resources to amateurs from the school is higher than to artists from our company."

When it comes to other things, Yang Mi is not as good as Zeng Jia; but when it comes to understanding the two directors of Lin Nan Pictures, she thinks she has a better say than Zeng Jia.

"Are you so sure?"

Zeng Jia had some objections. The artists signed by Jiaxing were all from colleges and universities, and they all had good looks. They fit the "taste" of costume mythological dramas.

"Didn't you notice one thing? The roles announced by Hongxingwu for auditions are missing some of the core main characters!

In addition, she had publicly promised to give opportunities to current students... Therefore, most of the supporting roles were reserved for open auditions;

As for the core protagonists and supporting roles, they are either pre-determined or auditioned by invitation, so our people should not have any expectations. "

At this moment, Zeng Jia was stunned. In her opinion, Yang Mi shouldn't be so... so smart?

But why are you so witty every time when it comes to Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu? Is there still a trace of "competitiveness" in your heart?

Seeing Zeng Jia's confused look, Yang Mi couldn't help but smile: "I'm just more concerned about who will be my opponent, so I paid more attention to the situation over there and thought about it."

Hearing this, Zeng Jia nodded and said with a casual smile: "As I said, no matter who is starring in the drama, it is just a TV series, so just relax, hehe..."

At this point, Zeng Jia suddenly paused and his smile faded.

"What's wrong, Jiajia?" Yang Mi asked doubtfully.

"Speaking of TV series, I just remembered. It just so happens that you are coming back today. Let me tell you. I helped you take on four dramas, all of which will be next year..."

Hearing this, a trace of fatigue appeared on Yang Mi's face unnaturally, but it disappeared in an instant.

She nodded and said to Zeng Jia: "Well, I understand, just take it... Just remember to remind me to join the group."

"Of course, I will remember it. Check your schedule later. I've rearranged it and added a lot of announcements..."

"good."

…

When the crew of "Detective Chinatown" was about to leave Beiwu, it was already past three in the afternoon;

Everyone is making fun of Wang Baoqiang because of his directorial debut, "Havoc in Tianzhu."

The shout of "Director Wang" made Wang Baoqiang smile. It's just that his smile looked sincere and sincere, but it was just... a bit ugly!

Especially after just watching a performance by a group of beauties from Beijing Dance Theatre, comparing it now, it seems that he is even more "unable to watch" than before.

"Everyone, the regular promotional activities of "Detective Chinatown" have officially ended today. See you at the premiere on the 28th."

Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz Business Class, Lin Nan waved goodbye to Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Zhang Zifeng and others.

"Director Lin, see you on the 28th."

"Director Lin, goodbye."

"Director Lin, see you later."

…

Lin Nan was sitting in the car scrolling through her cell phone. Liu Yifei responded with a message. She, Shu Chang, Jiang Yuerou and others would be able to "get off work" around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Although there are still many audition resumes arriving at Hongxingwu, all preparations are in place; auditions will officially begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!

Director Lin thought for a while and then gave up the idea of ​​sending a voice message. He would rather wait until Miss Liu gets home and tell her in person. He can take the time to calm her down tomorrow!

"Haha, is this already a scolding?"

Lin Nan saw the lively scene on Weibo. The movie reviews of "Bad Angel" and "Old Paoer" seemed a bit abnormal!

There are a large number of film review posts criticizing and criticizing each other. Their intentions are very naked, and "Old Paoer" still has the advantage.

"I've said it all, Deng Chao can't be a director. After "The Breakup Master", he contributed another shitty movie, and even his acting skills are rubbish. It's not even as good as the one in "Lao Pao Er" Fanfan, that kind of unruly and handsome... is much more natural than Deng Chao!"

"Although Mr. Liu's Lao Pao'er is poor, he is proud at heart; Wu Yifan's young master is also domineering and full of charm! Even the Xiao Pao'er played by Li Yifeng is so dedicated and his acting skills are lifelike... "Lao Pao'er" completely crushed "Old Pao'er" Villain Angel"..."

"Good guy, Angels is a popcorn comedy, whether it's clumsy or forced, it always makes people laugh.

But what is "Old Paoer"? Talk about a group of gangsters who disobey management and show their loyalty at every turn? Still writing a battle letter? Still singled out? I think a severe crackdown is not enough! "

"A bad movie is a bad movie, a waste of money... "Bad Angel" is several times worse than "The Breakup Master"... Sun Li's performance is as exaggerated as she was in "The Legend of Mi Yue"!"

"Now everyone should know why Deng Chao's "Scorching Sun" lost to Director Feng's "Old Paoer" in the competition for the Golden Horse Award last month?! Because Director Feng's acting skills are not as good even if he crosses industries. Defeat Deng Chao..."

…

Lin Nan scrolled through Weibo posts with a playful expression.

He estimated that Wang Changtian was furious and furious at this moment, and Deng Chao was definitely not in a good mood.

Because any fool can tell that something is wrong with online movie reviews! In the past, most of the negative reviews were unilateral, but this time 70% to 80% of the negative reviews were of a disapproving nature!

Well, as soon as I got home, Wang Changtian's call came.

"I said to Mr. Wang, don't even think about asking me to help on Weibo. How can I help on such a large scale? Can't you see, others have spent money! Let's take a look at what tomorrow will bring. Let’s talk about the box office performance on the first day.”

"His uncle, I really want you to be right, Hua Yi and those two idiots are trying to trick me! They actually got it on me... Let's see first tomorrow... If... you really take me..."

Lin Nan laughed and listened to Wang Changtian's indignant words... It was so interesting.

Huayi, Chairman's Office.

At this moment, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang were having a small meeting together.

"The preparations for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" are almost complete. I will join the cast after New Year's Day. Afterwards, Guan Fang will lead the rest of the crew to promote the show..."

Feng Xiaogang said with a smile on his face. Although the things on the Internet were done by the group, he also knew about it. He knew about this plan and program at the beginning of the month.

"Well, it's better to start shooting earlier. Didn't you say you wanted to win the award? You can slowly polish the movie."

Wang Zhonglei took over Feng Xiaogang's words, still with that stereotyped smile on his face. The company is looking forward to the first day box office of "Old Cannon" tomorrow.

After speaking, he looked at Wang Zhongjun again: "We are only 7 days away from "Detective Chinatown", do you want to do it later?"

"Black his movie on Weibo?"

Wang Zhonglei replied unhappily, and then added:

"It's better not to do that, you can't afford to offend him! Just increase the efforts on Guangguang in the next few days... Try to confront Lin Nan Pictures head-on after a week..."

"Well, I understand, I will contact the person later and increase the efforts."

...

Liu Yifei came back wearing her "antique" down jacket, carrying a bag, humming a little song, and was obviously in a good mood.

"Lin Nan, I found that among the three major art schools, Shanghai Theatre Academy seems to be falling behind... more and more?!"

"How did you find out?"

Director Lin leaned on the sofa and asked with interest.

"I saw it from the resumes of the students. Director Jiang also agrees with my opinion."

Taking off her down jacket and throwing it and her bag on the single sofa, Liu Yifei came over and used Lin Nan as a pillow.

A faint body fragrance came, which was very pleasant.

"You are right. From the annual art examination of the acting department, it can be seen that Beijing Film Academy is always the first choice for most art candidates, and the first choice for the remaining few art candidates is the Central Academy of Drama; only when these two schools are out of the play will they go to Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Of course, those students who choose Shanghai Theatre Academy first because of their geographical location are excluded, but there are very few students in this category."

"Yeah, that makes sense, hehe... Director Lin, can you help me with the casting tomorrow, okay?"

A pair of arms wrapped around Lin Nan's neck, and the soft and tender heart suddenly felt a little itchy? !

"Okay, I don't even need to ask for help."

"Ah? Come on, come on, ask for help..."

...

After a night of hard work, I felt refreshed.

At 7:30 on the morning of the 25th, a red Ferrari sped out; Liu Yifei was driving the car, and Lin Nan was dozing off in the passenger seat!

At this time, many RVs were parked outside Hongxingwu;

But more people came by taxi or in the cars of their agents or agencies. Most of these auditioning actors were students or students and graduates who had just signed with the company.

"Lin Nan, your phone is ringing."

Liu Yifei woke Lin Nan up while driving the car.

"Ah? Oh! Brother Jiao, I've waited for you for so long and finally got a result. Which one is it?"

"Director Lin, I hesitated for a long time, I think I can still..."

...

At 8:40 in the morning, under the focus of a large number of media reporters, artists, agents, and assistants, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got out of the car;

The two smiled and waved to everyone, and then walked into Hongxingwu, while Jiang Xingrou and Shu Chang had already arrived in advance.

"Everyone, you can all come in..."

A few minutes later, the staff of Hongxingwu came out to greet them. The actors who were notified of the audition today immediately filed in.

When the audition of Hongxingwu was about to begin, the film and television information on the Internet was already reporting.

Unlike the situation in the online film reviews yesterday that "Old Cannon" "crushed" "Bad Angels", the box office results on the first day were completely the opposite. It was "Bad Angels" that trampled "Old Cannon" hard!

"Produced by Huayi, directed by Guan Hu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang and others, the Lunar New Year action drama blockbuster "Old Cannon" closed at 55 million on the first day of its release, which was mediocre compared to expectations..."

"Controlled by Enlight Pictures, co-produced by Deng Chao's Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, and starring Deng Chao and Sun Li, the comedy romance film "Bad Guys" earned 153 million on the first day of its release, three times more than "Old Cannon"..."

"The Lunar New Year blockbuster "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" was released 27 days, the total box office closed at 1.966 billion, and yesterday's box office dropped to 8.3 million..."

"Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu Films, Liu Yifei as producer, Jiang Xingrou as producer, the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" officially started auditioning this morning."

"According to the on-site media reports outside Hongxingwu, most of the actors auditioning today are students from art schools such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Communication University of China, and Beijing Dance Academy; Director Lin Nan accompanied Liu Yifei to the audition site... Actor Shu Chang also appeared in Hongxingwu..."

...

Hongxingwu, in the conference room.

Lin Nan sat on the side, he was just here to hold the fort today; Shu Chang next to him was just like him, also here to join in the fun

Today's protagonists are Liu Yifei, who is sitting in the most important seat, and Jiang Xingrou.

"Let's call this one first, Song Yiren, a 12th-grade student in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy."

After communicating with Liu Yifei, Jiang Xingrou instructed the assistant next to him.

Not long after, a short, cute girl came in. When she saw the people present, she was obviously a little scared and nervous.

"Hello, Producer Lin... Hello, Director Jiang, Hello, Director Lin."

"Don't be nervous, it's an audition. Here's your topic, five minutes to prepare."

The assistant took the note from Jiang Xingrou again and gave it to Song Yiren.

...

When the auditions at Hongxingwu officially began, the film industry was in chaos. To be precise, the Internet exploded.

Feng Xiaogang, Director Feng Da, and Xiaogang Pao—directly fired shots at "Villain Angel" on Weibo in anger!

"...Chinese movies are hopeless. Rubbish audiences have created rubbish movies...No one resisted this kind of bad movie, but it became popular...just like "Bad Angel"..."

…
