That year Huayu

Guo Degang's incident once again taught the industry a truth: trouble comes from the mouth.

No, just because he posted Double Happiness, wrote limericks, and made a fuss, he had already passed the final review of the Spring Festival Gala language program, and he was just waiting to perform on stage on New Year's Eve.

But at this critical moment, the most feared accident happened.

His program was temporarily canceled, and the reason given above was also very general: inappropriate.

Even Feng Xiaogang, the Spring Festival Gala director who has always supported Guo Degang, could not save him.

Everyone in the industry knows that this is not to say that the program submitted by Guo Degang is not suitable, but that he is not suitable this year.

Lin Nan tapped his fingers on the desktop and looked at the news on the Internet.

"Macau" officially kicked off many movie premieres during the Spring Festival.

Bona and China Star sent an invitation to Lin Nan Pictures, but he threw it to Yue Jun.

Judging from the live broadcast reports online, the guest lineup at the scene can be said to be very strong.

Liu Dehua, Jet Li... Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, most of the first-line stars in Hong Kong and mainland China were there.

Yu Dong and Xiang Yanqiang's family also made a high-profile appearance at the premiere. Especially the latter, he even talked about it with great fanfare:

“The mainland’s film market is becoming more and more prosperous, far surpassing Hong Kong Island and catching up with Hollywood.

Director Wang Jing is a well-known director in the Chinese film industry, and the starring role is the re-appearance of the "God of Gamblers". We believe that this movie will be the fourth commercial film in the history of Chinese-language films to have a box office of over 1 billion...

In the future, China Star will make every effort to enter the mainland film market and look forward to cooperating with major film and television companies, major directors, actors and artists..."

I have to say that Xiang Yiqiang's tone is indeed quite loud.

Both the words and the words conveyed the meaning of "not short of money", giving people the feeling that he was willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.

But sometimes, no matter how much money you have, you may not be able to accomplish anything.

Hong Kong circles are xenophobic, so shouldn’t the mainland film industry be the same? How could you be allowed to come in smoothly and compete with the big guys for food?

Ying Huang, who stepped in with half a foot, was already troubled enough. It was absolutely impossible for a second Hong Kong company to come in.

From the perspective of the mainland film industry, times have changed, and the Hong Kong community is now honestly using money to buy ferry tickets.

Don’t think too much about other “unrealistic” ideas, it’s useless!

After closing the news page, Lin Nan stood up and left the office.

In the company, there is already an atmosphere of the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, which is more lively and casual than before.

After seeing Lin Nan, many employees picked up the snacks and fruit plates on the table and asked him if he wanted some? It’s really “not seeing the outside world”.

…

Actors who have been promoted to capital are also constantly broadening their business scope and trying other fields.

For example, one of the headlines in the industry today is that the hot pot restaurant jointly invested by Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing and Ren Quan is about to officially open.

I heard that this is the first store of the hot pot restaurant chain they founded.

Many first-line actors, celebrities or big names in the industry received "dining" invitations from these three people, which took place just after evening.

Lin Nan also heard Liu Yifei talk about it when he got home at noon. Because the invitation letter was sent to Miss Liu.

Lin Nan couldn't help but smile when he saw the four words "Hot Number One" written on the invitation letter:

"It's a big step, but it's a bit far! Are you planning to build a catering brand, or are you planning to engage in capital operations?"

After muttering, Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei: "Sissi, do you want to join in the fun?"

Miss Liu shook her head decisively: "If you don't go, just think about it and you will know that there will be a lot of people in the circle. It will definitely not be good to eat, and in the end it will become a social event."

"Pretty much, we're pretty much inseparable. Then I'll send a polite text message back to the leader or Li Bingbing. Haha..."

…

The premieres of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" and "Raiders of the Past" were held on the same day.

In terms of scale and battle, the former is definitely more grand. After all, the investment cost for the external publicity of this movie is 500 million yuan!

Zhou Runfa has become the focus of this Spring Festival.

Because he starred in the two blockbusters released on New Year's Day, "Macau Storm" and "Havoc in Heaven".

The media has even concluded in advance that during this Spring Festival, Zhou Runfa will be the actor with the biggest box office performance.

Time comes on the 25th.

After "Painted Skin", Lin Nan once again chose the CPPCC Auditorium as the venue for a movie premiere.

As a commercial blockbuster with the main theme, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is qualified to hold its premiere ceremony here.

This invitation letter was jointly issued to the industry by four film and television giants, Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda, and Enlight. Leaders of Bayi Film Studio and the Film Bureau will also attend.

Since the project was established, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has attracted much attention in the industry because its director is Director Lin, and among the actors is Han Sanping, who was the chairman of China Film Group Corporation at the time!

At about ten o'clock in the morning, a red carpet was laid out outside the CPPCC auditorium, and people from the four producers were watching here.

In the film and television industry, whether they are production companies, actors, stars, directors, or producers, basically everyone comes here except those who really can't spare the time.

Everyone has been curious about the concept of "main theme commercial film" for more than half a year! Especially directors in the industry are very interested.

Because "main theme commercial films", as the name suggests, don't they take into account the dual attributes of award-winning films and commercial films?

Therefore, Chen Kaige who is preparing to start filming "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", Zhang Yimou who has just paid the fine, Jiang Wen who is in the post-production of "One Step Away"... Ning Hao, Gu Changwei, Lou Ye, Jia Zhangke, Feng Xiaogang, Xue Xiaolu...

As long as there are famous mainland directors, almost all of them have fallen.

…

In the morning, almost 11 o'clock.

Lin Nan, Han Sanping, Liu Yifei, Guo Fan, Han Jianu, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Luo Jin and other creative staff have finally arrived.

"This is my first time walking on the red carpet as a movie star."

Han Sanping whispered something with great emotion.

In the past, when he walked on the red carpet, he was mostly the chairman, producer and chief producer of China Film.

"It's simple. If there are any 'villain' characters in my movies that look fierce, have been in high positions for a long time, or are bosses behind the scenes, I will leave them all to you. What do you think?"

Lin Nan joked, making everyone else around him laugh.

"Okay, I agreed on behalf of my father, and the salary cannot be less."

Before Han Sanping could react, Han Jianu happily made the decision for her father.

Now, everyone had to hold back and not laugh out loud.

Because the expression on Han Sanping's face at this moment is really "complex" and a bit "distorted".

It was a helpless emotion of wanting to curse someone but trying hard to hold it back, wanting to hit someone but being unable to do so, so one could only sigh and swallow, suppressing internal injuries!

…

Amid the noise of reporters, a group of people walked into the CPPCC auditorium.

The huge crowd inside the venue looked very lively.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Qin Hong, Wang Zhonglei and other giants in the film and television industry gathered around Tong Gang.

La Peikang and the deputy director of Bayi Factory were also surrounded by many filmmakers and directors.

It was an eye-opener for the actors and stars in the industry present today.

In the past, how could it be possible to see these industry leaders smiling and fawning? Saw it today.

Several major supporting actors in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", such as Hu Ge, Xie Ba and others, did not follow Lin Nan and others, but entered the venue in advance and waited.

Because they are all actors in this movie, their seats are also near the front.

"Director Lin, Director Han..."

"Director Lin..."

…

The main creators dispersed in a tacit understanding, including Liu Yifei and Han Jianu.

Lin Nan and Han Sanping walked towards Tong Gang.

"Tong Bureau, I didn't expect you to come in person today?"

"Can't it be me? After all, you are the first major director in China to shoot the main theme."

As he spoke, Tong Gang patted Lin Nan's shoulder warmly.

"Old Han, I have to take a good look at your mountain sculpture later, haha..." Tong Gang and Han Sanping joked.

"If nothing else, I think my acting skills can still torture these young people!"

Han Sanping also entered the state and said with a smile.

The premiere has not officially started yet and everyone is busy socializing.

People with different status levels have different circles, and the hierarchy is strict.

But the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is people who have ambitions and desires and want to climb from one circle to a higher circle.

Even if it means looking down on one's face, throwing down one's dignity, trying to flatter and flatter him, he will not hesitate to do so.

At this moment, Liu Yifei was surrounded by many people from the industry, including actors and producers.

The leading actors also have their own circles.

Some "floating" second- and third-tier actors seemed very busy, with smiles on their faces all the time.

At around 11 o'clock, the premiere officially started.

The leaders, bosses and directors in the first two rows sat upright and concentrated, wanting to know what a "main theme commercial film" was.

The appearance of Hu Ge stunned many guests present. Why is this modern?

But everyone reacted instantly, it was just a flashback or memory shooting technique.

On the big screen, the vast snowfield appeared, and the story slowly unfolded...

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour... there were constant sighs of emotion from the guest seats on the field.

"The main theme of the story, purely commercial techniques!"

"You can really do this?"

"It's not boring at all! The plot is tense, the rhythm is tight, and it's very eye-catching... Are these Eight King Kongs one of our own?"

…

As the comments on the field became more and more loud, Lin Nan, Han Sanping, La Peikang, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning all smiled.

"This movie is done! It depends on the market and the audience." Jiang Wen shouted towards Lin Nan.

"Yes, let's wait for the box office to come out and see the market feedback. In the future, we can do the same!"

…

As the words "End of the play" appeared on the big screen, Lin Nan and a group of main creatives also walked onto the stage.

Next, is the most important interview session with the crew members, which is also the presentation session.

"Director Lin, you were very casual about the box office expectations for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" before. Can you give us a specific box office target now?"

Hearing this question, the people below, especially those in the first two rows, were even more excited than Lin Nan.

He smiled and glanced at Wang Zhonglei in the first row.

"Previously, Mr. Wang of Huayi told me that he wanted to release "Taking Tiger Mountain" with a guarantee of 800 million. I offered 1.2 billion, but he didn't agree. So today, I will set a box office target of 1.2 billion."

Lin Nan sounded relaxed on stage, but it was lively down below.

After hearing the number 1.2 billion, most of the guests cheered and applauded.

In the first row, La Peikang glanced at Wang Zhonglei intentionally or unintentionally. The latter smiled a little reluctantly, and he was probably scolding his mother in his heart.

"Yifei's "Frozen" and "Taking Tiger Mountain" are only a few days apart, and you have to face several other movies. Will there be any pressure on the box office? This is your first time working with Disney. .”

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, glanced at Lin Nan, and immediately replied: "There will be no pressure, don't always think about me competing with him.

From another perspective, can it be understood as: Lin Nan and I join forces to ‘dominate’ the Spring Festival stalls together? "

"well said!"

"Producer Liu is easy to understand!"

"Awesome, husband and wife team!"

…

There was a burst of cheers below, including Tong Gang, La Peikang and others.

"Director Han..."

"Teacher Zhang Hanyu..."

…

After half an hour of continuous interviews, all the main creators went through it again and returned to Lin Nan.

"Last question, everyone is hungry, let's start the party quickly."

Lin Nan said jokingly.

The reporters agreed, but this last question was a bit difficult!

"Director Lin, when you asked Director Han to star in 'The Eagle of the Mountain', was Director Han really what he said: no anger, no rejection, proactive, and willing to contribute to the film industry?"

Good guy, you are not asking Lin Nan a question, this is killing you!

More than half of the guests present had their mouths slightly open, their expressions were joking, and their eyes had two words written on them: "Gossip"!

In the first row, Tong Gang, La Peikang, Wang Changtian, and Ye Ning all suppressed their laughter, while the others looked curious.

On the stage, Liu Yifei leaned closer to Lin Nan, grabbed his hand, turned her head, and hid half of her body behind Lin Nan, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Lin Nan could feel Liu Yifei's arms and hands shaking, as if she could hardly hold back her laughter.

Han Jia Nyeo lowered her head, as if trying to hypnotize herself.

The other leading actors looked confused, but Han Sanping smiled helplessly. He knew that he might not be able to escape.

"Director Han, can you tell me?"

"I'm asking you, you didn't ask me, it's up to you!" Han Sanping also let go and retorted with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll tell the truth."

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was silent, to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

"Actually, Director Han's job is not easy. The first time I went there, he told me to get out. The second time I went, he directly called the security department... Yifei had the foresight to let me go wearing sneakers. When I said I would be beaten, runs fast……"

As Lin Nan explained the process of inviting Han Sanping in a joke-like tone, the audience burst into huge and lasting laughter.

"Then how did it succeed in the end?"

Hearing this question, Lin Nan stepped out of the queue and walked to Han Jianu. Her face was so red that she was almost bleeding.

"Don't hide."

Lin Nan said something and received an "angry look" from Han Jianu.

"Fortunately, my assistant director was determined to kill off his relatives and made two or three more trips to win over Director Han!

Here, by the way, I would like to introduce to everyone: Han Jianu, my junior sister, is a graduate student in Nortel’s Directing Department. She graduated this year. Please take care of me in the future. "

The applause was loud again.

The smile on Han Sanping's face also completely bloomed.

At this point, the premiere ceremony ends and the banquet time begins.

…

The media got excited.

All major portals, Weibo, and social platforms are all about Lin Nan’s sharing at the premiere of “Inviting Han Sanping to star in ‘Mountain Eagle’”.

"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard. The first time Director Lin went there, he was sent away with the word 'get out'!"

"The second time I went there, I actually called the Security Department!"

"Director Lin is a true filmmaker. In order to find the 'most suitable role', he was almost expelled from the China Film Group! We must support "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"."

"Am I the only one who thinks Director Lin is ruthless enough? He actually thought of letting his own daughter do ideological work for his old father! What is this? The new era of loving father and filial piety?"

"That's a leaky cotton-padded jacket in the cold winter months!"

"Liu Yifei is still smart, she actually thought of letting Director Lin wear sneakers, so smart, haha..."

""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" + "Frozen" = box office dominance during the Spring Festival. - Liu Yifei!"

…

At a premiere, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" became the headline, and by the way, the topic of "Frozen" skyrocketed.

Now, just waiting for the first day of the Lunar New Year, four domestic movies will start the melee!

In the twelfth lunar month, the sky should be dark at eight o'clock in the evening.

But against the bright lights of the city, it only looked a little dark.

The night view of the city is beautiful, and even the snowflakes falling in the sky have a sense of "feasting and feasting".

Lin Nan and Huang Bo were sitting in the restaurant, eating midnight snacks while looking at the night and snow outside the window.

"In other words, the talks have collapsed?"

Lin Nan turned over the barbecue on the table and asked casually.

Today, Huang Bo invited guests again, and he knew it was the same thing as last time.

"The talks fell apart."

Huang Bo picked up the beer and drank it in one gulp.

"I thought it would be difficult to negotiate, but I didn't expect him to refuse so decisively. There was no need to discuss it at all. He didn't even want to increase his salary!"

The more Huang Boy said, the more excited he became. After all, he has two movies with a box office of 1 billion.

"What do you say?" Lin Nan picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth.

"Xu Zheng said that the "囧" series has already built a reputation and has its own box office appeal. The third "囧" can be separated from anyone, including his director..."

Lin Nan stopped the chopsticks in his hand:

"That's right. There is really no way out. Although I didn't reject you explicitly, the subtext is already in place. Even he can be replaced, let alone the other leading actors?"

Huang Bo nodded, then shook his head:

"It's not just that he refuses to use my remuneration to invest in the movie, it also means that "囧" doesn't use me."

"No need for you? Why?"

Lin Nan asked in shock.

"My salary is too high..." Huang Bo said in a low voice, and then added:

"I guess Baoqiang won't give up... After all, Baoqiang has acted in two movies, "Unfortunately" and "囧囧"."

After speaking, Huang Bo looked at Lin Nan and said, "You don't know, Xu Zheng seems a bit strange to me."

Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this.

…

This year's New Year's Eve, Shu Initiative will be held here by Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei.

A child who is alone without a father and mother, even if he returns to his relatives' home, he probably will not feel comfortable and warm with Liu Xiaoli.

The three of them just keep each other company and can have New Year's Eve dinner together, which will make it more lively.

Lin Nan packed his suitcase the day after the premiere and set off today.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang both wore down jackets and parked their cars in front of the villa early.

The former sat in the driver's seat, while the latter sat in the back seat, leaving Lin Nan the passenger seat.

"I finally made the decision to come here to celebrate the New Year with you on New Year's Eve this year, but you are not here!"

After getting in the car, Shu Chang kept chattering.

"Unfortunately, my schedule was decided half a month ago."

Lin Nan glanced back at Shu Chang and said with a smile.

"He will be back in a few days." Liu Yifei, who was driving, added with a smile.

The three of them chatted in the car until they drove to the airport.

Lin Nan picked up the suitcase and then took Liu Yifei into his arms. Feeling each other's breathing, both of them felt warm in their hearts.

After a while, he let go.

"You two are so stupid and don't pay attention to the impact."

Lin Nan hit Shu Chang on the head, but her knitted hat blocked 99% of the force.

"You guys go back, it's quite cold outside."

"Well, you go in first and we'll leave." Liu Yifei said reluctantly.

"good."

Pulling the suitcase, Lin Nan walked towards the departure hall.

…………

In just over an hour, the plane landed at its destination.

Lin Nan put on a mask, put on the hood of his down jacket, and got into the taxi.

It was another hour before he returned home.

There are only two days until New Year's Eve, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the road.

The huge facade has a lot of "Fu" characters posted on it, as well as new couplets.

"You have listened to me and closed the business early for the holidays." Lin Nan muttered with a smile on his face.

He pulled the copper ring in the mouth of the animal head on the door and knocked on the heavy door.

After a long time, I heard Old Lintou's voice, "Come on, come on, don't knock..."

With a creak, the door of his restaurant opened.

Old Lintou and Lin Nan looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

But the next moment, Old Lintou suddenly and nimbly crossed the threshold and walked out.

He looked left and right, and his expression suddenly changed.

Then he looked at Lin Nan and asked with an unhappy look:

"Are you coming back alone?"

"yes."

Lin Nan nodded straightly.
