Guo Degang's incident once again tells a truth in the circle: disaster comes from the mouth.

No, just because he made a double happiness, made oil poems, and made a lot of noise, he had already passed the final review of the Spring Festival Gala language program, and he was only waiting for the stage on Chinese New Year's Eve.

But at this critical moment, the most feared accident still appeared.

His show was temporarily killed, and the reason given above was also very general: it was not suitable.

Even Feng Xiaogang, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala who has always supported Guo Degang, failed to keep him.

Everyone in the circle 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 Vice" officially kicked off the premiere of many films during the Spring Festival.

The invitation sent by Bona and China Star to Lin Nan Pictures was thrown to Yue Jun by him.

Judging from the live broadcast reports on the Internet, the lineup of guests on the scene can be described as very strong.

Liu Dehao, Li Lianjie...... Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, first-line stars in the Hong Kong circle and the mainland, went to more than half.

Yu Dong and Xiang Weiqiang's family also appeared at the premiere in a high-profile manner. Especially the latter, he also talked about it with great fanfare:

"The mainland 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 'God of Gamblers' who has re-emerged. We believe that this film will be the fourth commercial film in the history of Chinese films to break 1 billion at the box office......

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

I have to say that Xiang Weiqiang's tone is really big.

The words are full of the meaning of "not bad money", giving people the feeling that he is willing to buy horse bones.

But sometimes, no amount of money can make a difference.

Hong Kong is xenophobic, isn't the mainland film industry not? How is it possible to allow you to come in and grab food with the big guys?

Yinghuang, who stepped in with one and a half feet, was already enough to make trouble, and it was absolutely impossible to let a second Hong Kong Island company come in.

In the eyes of the mainland film industry, times have changed, and the Hong Kong circle honestly uses money to buy ferry tickets.

Don't think too much about other "unrealistic" ideas, it's useless to think about them!

Closing the news page, Lin Nan got up and walked out of 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's figure, many employees also picked up the snacks and fruit plates on the table and asked him if he wanted to have some? It's really "out of sight".

……

The actors who have been promoted to capital are also constantly expanding their business scope and trying to other fields.

For example, one of the headlines in today's circle 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 chain hot pot restaurant brand they founded.

Many first-line actors, celebrities or big names in the circle have received invitations to "dine" from these three people, and the time is just after the evening.

Lin Nan also listened to Liu Yifei when he came home at noon. Because the invitation letter was sent to Miss Liu.

Looking at the four words "Hot No. 1" on the invitation, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing:

"It's a big step, a little far! Does this want to be a good catering brand, or is it planning to engage in capital operation? ”

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, you know that there will be many insiders when you think about it." It must have been bad at eating, and in the end it became a social interaction. ”

"Almost, eight or nine is not far from ten. Then reply to the sect leader or Li Bingbing with a polite text message. Haha......"

……

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

In terms of scale and battle, it must be the former that is more grand, after all, the investment cost of this film's external publicity is 500 million yuan!

Zhou Yunfa has become the focus of this Spring Festival file.

Because "Macau Vice" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", two blockbusters released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, starred him.

The media has even closed the coffin in advance, bluntly saying that this Spring Festival file, Zhou Runfa will be the most box office actor.

The time came to the 25th.

Since "Painted Skin", Lin Nan once again chose the venue for the movie premiere in the CPPCC auditorium.

As a commercial blockbuster with the main theme, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is eligible to hold a premiere ceremony here.

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

Since the establishment of the project, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" 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 at the time!

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the red carpet had been rolled out outside the CPPCC auditorium, and there were people from the four producers staring here.

The film and television industry, whether it is a production company, an actor or a star, or a director or producer, except for those who really can't be empty, basically come.

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

Because the "main theme commercial film", as the name suggests, doesn't it take into account the dual attributes of award films and commercial films?

Therefore, Chen Kaige, who is preparing to start "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", Zhang Yimou, who has just paid the fine, and 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 and surnamed directors in the mainland, almost all of them have declined.

……

In the morning, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Lin Nan, Han Sanping, Liu Yifei, Guo Wan, Han Jianu, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Luo Jin and other main creators finally arrived.

"This is the first time I've walked the red carpet as a movie star."

Han Sanping whispered, very emotional.

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 'villains' in my movies in the future, such as fierce looks, long-term high positions, and behind-the-scenes bosses, I will leave it all to you. What do you think? ”

Lin Nan joked, provoking everyone else around him to laugh.

"Yes, I agreed for my dad, and the salary must not be less."

Before Han Sanping could react, Han Jianu was excited to make decisions for her father.

At this moment, everyone had to hold back and couldn't laugh out loud.

Because the expression on Han Sanping's face at the moment is really "complicated" and a little "distorted".

It was a kind of helplessness that wanted to scold people and tried to endure it, and wanted to hit people but couldn't do it, so I could only sigh and swallow it, and I couldn't hold back the helpless emotions of internal injuries!

……

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

The crowd in the venue was very lively.

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

Next to La Paikang and the deputy director of Bayi Factory, there are also many filmmakers and directors.

The actors and stars in the circle present today are eye-opening.

In the past, how could it be possible to see this group of industry bigwigs with a smile on their faces? I saw it today.

Several big supporting actors in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", such as Hu Ge, Xie Shu and others, did not follow Lin Nan and them, but entered the venue in advance and waited.

Because they are all actors in this movie, they are also very far forward.

"Director Lin, Han Dong ......"

"Lin Dao ......"

……

The main creators dispersed very tacitly, including Liu Yifei and Han Jianu also went to the side.

Lin Nan followed Han Sanping to the direction of Tonggang.

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

"Isn't it me? After all, you are the first big director in China to shoot the main theme. ”

As he spoke, Tong Gang also patted Lin Nan's shoulder, very enthusiastic.

"Old Han, I'll have to take a good look at the mountain carving in a while, haha......" Tong Gang and Han Sanping said with a laugh.

"Don't say anything else, I think my acting skills can still abuse these young people!"

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

The premiere has not officially begun, and everyone is busy socializing.

People of different levels of identity have different circles and strict hierarchies.

But the most important 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 is to slap your face, throw away your dignity, go to meet and pat yourself, you will not hesitate.

In just this moment, Liu Yifei is surrounded by many insiders, actors and producers.

Several leading actors also have their own circles.

Some second- and third-tier actors who are "wandering" seem to be very busy, with smiles on their faces all the time.

At 11 o'clock, the premiere officially began.

The leaders, bosses and directors of the first two rows sat down and concentrated their attention, wondering what the "main theme commercial film" was.

The appearance of Hu Ge made many guests present stunned, how is it modern?

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

On the big screen, the vast snowfield appears, and the story slowly unfolds......

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

"The story of the main theme, the pure commercial approach!"

"How can you really do that?"

"It's not boring at all! The plot is tense, the rhythm is tight, and it is very eye-catching...... These Eight Vajra are their own people, right? ”

……

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

"This movie is done! It's up to the market and the audience. Jiang Wen shouted at Lin Nan.

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

……

With the words "the end of the whole play" appearing on the big screen, Lin Nan also took a group of main creators on stage.

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

"Director Lin, you said very casually about the box office expectations of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" before, can you give a specific box office target now?"

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

He smiled, and his gaze swept over Wang Zhonglei in the first row.

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

Lin Nan said it easily on stage, but it was lively below.

When most of the guests heard the figure of 1.2 billion, they were all cheering and applauding.

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

"Yi Fei's "Frozen" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" are only a few days apart, and they have to face several other movies, will there be box office pressure? This is your first time working with Disney. ”

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

From another point of view, can it be understood as: Lin Nan and I joined forces to 'dominate' the Spring Festival stalls together? ”

"Well said!"

"Producer Liu is so understandable!"

"Awesome, husband and wife!"

……

There was a cheer below, and even Tong Gang, La Paikang and others were applauding.

"Han Dong ......"

"Teacher Zhang Hanyu ......"

……

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

"One last question, everyone is hungry, let's hurry up and start the table."

Lin Nan quipped.

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

"Director Lin, when you invited Han Dong to star in 'Mountain Carving', Han Dong really said what he said: no anger, no refusal, initiative, and willingness to contribute to the film industry?"

Good guy, where is this asking Lin Nan a question, this is fatal!

More than half of the guests on the stage were slightly open, with a joking expression, and two words written in their eyes: "gossip"!

In the first row, Tong Gang, La Beikang, Wang Changtian, and Ye Ning all held back a smile, and the rest looked curious.

On the stage, Liu Yifei leaned over to Lin Nan, grabbed his hand, turned his head sideways, hid half of his body behind Lin Nan, and tried to hold back a smile.

Lin Nan could feel Liu Yifei's arms and hands shaking, and she was in a state where she couldn't hold back her laughter.

Han Jianu lowered her head, as if she was trying her best to hypnotize herself.

The other leading actors looked confused, but Han Sanping was already smiling helplessly, he knew that he might not be able to hide.

"Han Dong, can you speak?"

"Ask you, don't ask me, whatever you want!" Han Sanping also let go and said with a smile.

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

When the words landed, the audience was silent, to the point where the pins could be heard.

"In fact, Han Dong's job is not easy to do. The first time I went, he told me to get out, and the second time I went, he called the security department directly...... Yifei had the foresight to let me go in sneakers, saying that when I was beaten, I ran fast......"

As Lin Nan said the process of inviting Han Sanping in a joke-like tone, the audience erupted in loud and long-lasting laughter.

"And how did it work out in the end?"

Hearing this question, Lin Nan came out of the queue and walked to Han Jianu's side, her face was red and almost dripping blood.

"Don't hide."

Lin Nan said a word, ushering in Han Jianu's "angry eyes".

"Fortunately, my assistant director killed his relatives in righteousness, and he ran two or three more times, and then he won Han Dong!

Here, by the way, I would like to introduce to everyone: Han Jianu, my junior sister, a graduate student of Nortel's directing department, graduated this year, please take care of me in the future. ”

The applause was warm again.

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

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

……

The media was excited.

Major web portals, Weibo, and social platforms are all about "inviting Han Sanping to star in the 'Mountain Carving'" shared by Lin Nan at the premiere.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. The first time Director Lin went, he was sent away by the word 'roll'! ”

"The second time I went, I actually called the security department directly!"

"Director Lin is a real filmmaker, and in order to find the 'most suitable role', he was almost framed out of China Film! "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" must be supported. ”

"Only I think Director Lin is ruthless enough? I actually thought of letting my daughter do ideological work for my old father! What is it? Fathers and daughters in the new era? ”

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

"It's still Liu Yifei who is wise, and he actually thought of letting Director Lin wear sneakers, it's so smart, haha......"

"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" + "Frozen" = the box office overlord of the Spring Festival. - Liu Yifei! ”

……

A premiere, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" became the headline in the headlines, and by the way, the topic of "Frozen" skyrocketed.

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

In the wax moon, the sky at eight o'clock in the evening should have been dark.

But against the backdrop of the brilliant lights of the city, it only looks a little dark.

The night view of the city is very beautiful, and even the snowflakes falling from the sky have the meaning of "bright lights".

Lin Nan and Huang Bo sat in the dining room, just like this, looking at the night and snow outside the window, while eating supper.

"In other words, the talks fell apart?"

Lin Nan flipped through the barbecue on the table and asked casually.

Today, Huang Bo had another treat, and he knew that it was the last time when he guessed it.

"The talk fell apart."

Huang Bo picked up the beer and took a sip of it.

"I thought it would be difficult to talk about it, but I didn't expect him to refuse so decisively, it was not negotiable at all. I don't even want to increase my salary! ”

The more Huang Bo said that he was more and more emotional, and he also had two movies with a box office of 1 billion yuan.

"How?" Lin Nan picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth.

Xu Zheng said that the "Embarrassment" series has made a name for itself and has its own box office appeal. The third "Hong Kong Embarrassment" can leave anyone, including his director......"

Lin Nan stopped the chopsticks in his hand:

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

Huang Bo nodded and shook his head again:

"It's really not just the meaning of rejecting my investment in movies with a salary, but also the meaning that "Hong Kong" doesn't need me."

"Not you? Why? ”

Lin Nan asked in astonishment.

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

"It is estimated that on Baoqiang's side, he should not give up...... After all, Bao Qiang has acted in two parts, "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment". ”

After speaking, Huang Bo looked at Lin Nan, "You don't know, I think Xu Zheng is a little strange." ”

Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Shu Advocate will spend time on Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei's side.

A lonely child with no father and no mother, even if he goes back to his relatives' house, it is estimated that he is not at ease and warm on Liu Xiaoli's side.

The three of them, just as each other, can also have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, which will be more lively.

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

Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were both wearing down jackets and parked their cars at the door of the villa early.

The former sat in the main driver, and the latter sat in the back seat, leaving Lin Nan with the co-pilot's position.

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

After getting in the car, Shu advocated chattering and talking non-stop.

"That's unfortunate, my itinerary was set half a month ago."

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

"In a few days, he'll be back." Liu Yifei, who was driving, interjected with a smile.

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

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

It took a while before letting go.

"You two are so numb, and you don't pay attention to the impact."

Lin Nan knocked on Shu Zhan's head, and was blocked by her knitted hat.

"Go back, it's cold outside."

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

"Okay."

Pulling the suitcase, Lin Nan walked to the waiting hall.

…………

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

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

It was another hour before he got home.

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

The huge façade has a lot of "Fu" characters pasted, as well as new couplets.

"Even if you listen to me, you will close for the holidays early." Lin Nan muttered with a smile on his face.

He tugged at the brass ring from the beast's head's mouth on the door and banged on the heavy door.

After a long time, I heard the voice of the old forest head, "Come on, don't knock on ......"

With a creak, the door of his restaurant opened.

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

But the next moment, I saw that Lao Lin Tou suddenly crossed the threshold with dexterity and walked out.

He looked left and right, and his face suddenly became wrong.

Then he looked at Lin Nan and asked with a displeased expression:

"You're coming back alone?"

"yes."

Lin Nan nodded straightly.
