Chapter 760: Hongmen Banquet!
Standing in front of the office window, Lin Nan looked down at several figures downstairs in the company.
After they looked back at Lin Nan Pictures a few times, they immediately exchanged something.
Several of them seemed to be more emotional, pointing to the building behind them, stomping their feet and pointing, as if they were arguing?
After a long time, these people turned around three times and got into the car tremblingly.
In the blink of an eye, several cars drove away rapidly from under the Lin Nan Film Building, as if they would suffer cardiac arrest and suffocate to death here if they walked slowly.
"Well, it's good that I didn't fall a single one or two. Otherwise, I would have followed in the footsteps of Director Jiang Da. β
Lin Nan said with contempt in his tone and smiled mockingly.
"If they come again, just keep the tea piped and dry. To ignore it is to be the greatest insult to them. One by one, they want to be cheeky, and do some shameless things. β
The assistant on the side nodded again and again, "Understood, Director Lin." β
A few minutes later, Lin Nan, who was sitting alone in the office, couldn't help muttering about the phone call he had just called.
"Invite me to dinner at Zhongying? I don't say why I was invited. Could it be that I was celebrating my success and asked about the movie by the way? Tsk, why do you feel a bad feeling? β
Shaking his head, Lin Nan felt that he might have been thinking a little too much.
He casually opened the webpage and flipped through today's film and television information.
"Macau Fengyun 2" and "Heavenly Generals" both exceeded 500 million, and the daily box office still maintained a momentum of rapid growth without any decrease.
Therefore, in the morning, Cheng Lung also held a media appreciation meeting in the capital, and bowed 90 degrees at the scene.
I have to say that the movie "Heavenly General" is very much valued by the official, and even the news network has reported it.
The reason for this is that it fits well with the policies and values of the Belt and Road. This kind of treatment is also something that other competitors can only envy but can't ask for.
Lin Nan saw the information about this year's art examination in the hot search. Good guys, the best in years.
Nortel's number of applicants exceeded 25,000 for the first time, an increase of nearly one-third from last year.
Chinese opera and upper opera, including the Northern Dance and the art academies of major colleges and universities in the capital, have also seen a sharp increase in the number of art candidates.
Of course, the three major art academies must have the largest number of applicants and are the first choice for all art candidates. Among them, Nortel is the worst.
This phenomenon of the sharp increase in candidates also directly shows how rapid the development of the film and television entertainment industry has been in recent years, and how great the temptation in the circle is! Everyone is squeezing their heads to come in and want a piece of the pie.
When he saw the photos of the crowds at the main gate of Nortel on Weibo, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.
Because the banner that the school pulled for him was too conspicuous, it was under the banner of "Welcome to the ...... for the majority of art examination freshmen".
In addition, there is actually a poster of his standing card at the main entrance. Many art candidates are taking group photos, and they have even been on the hot search, which is quite eye-catching.
"Oh, that's a bit embarrassing! Haha......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the first day of March, there was another commotion in the MarchΓ© du Film, as several domestic blockbusters came out at the same time.
"Directed by Zhou Xingchi, co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, the sci-fi comedy romance movie "Mermaid" officially passed the review of the Film Bureau this morning."
"Directed by Xu Zheng, co-produced by Zhenle Dao, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, the third part of the "Embarrassment" series "Hong Kong Embarrassment" successfully passed the review."
"Under the banner of Tiangong Color, produced by Shiyue Culture, the animated movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" has been approved for public screening......"
There are three movies in a row, all of which are related to Lin Nan Pictures.
In addition, Lin Nan Pictures also has several films in pre-shooting, post-production, and preparation for project approval.
Many production companies in the entire film industry are already mentally prepared, and they may have to fight a tough battle with Lin Nan Pictures this year, and they can't hide!
There are still heated discussions and speculations on the Internet and in the circle, speculating about the scheduled time of the three movies "Mermaid", "Hong Kong Embarrassment" and "The Return of the Great Sage".
At this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were shopping outside very leisurely.
They just came out of the theater and watched the "Super Marines" that was released in China only yesterday. This animated movie is very good.
"Brother Xun and I have made an appointment to have dinner tomorrow, and we are at home."
Liu Yifei told Lin Nan a "surprise" with a smile, expecting him to give a response.
"Then you'd better put the dinner party until the afternoon." Lin Nan said a little helplessly.
"Why?"
"Because Ladong invited me to dinner, the time is also set for tomorrow."
Hearing this, Miss Liu's smile disappeared most of her at once.
"That's why I asked you to start later, maybe I'll be able to come back and join us?" Well, I'm eating less in Zhongying! β
Lin Nan made a big turn. However, I didn't see Liu Yifei's smiling face, but was punched "hard".
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Don't speak clearly at once! β
"Haha, sort of."
Facing Liu Yifei's good-looking white eyes, Lin Nan didn't deny it, he just wanted to tease her.
"Alright, it's almost time for dinner, shall we find a restaurant? After eating and drinking, you can continue to walk in the afternoon. I'll carry my bag ......."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Let's go, the day before yesterday, I just told my family ......"
Women are good at changing their faces, especially those with some foodie attributes. Just like Liu Yifei at this moment, a smile appeared on her face again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Han Sanping answered the phone and glared at Han Jianu.
The latter didn't care at all and continued to complain:
"As for it? You're all retired, and you still want to shine? That's the task of China Film, you're not the chairman anymore, what's the excitement ......"
"Well, I'll be here on time tomorrow. It's nothing, the beautiful girl is nagging something else next to her. This girl is spoiled by me. β
"Hey, what do you mean to be spoiled? I call it expressing my opinions and opinions! β
Although Han Jianu was unconvinced, her voice was still much quieter. You have to take care of your father's face, you can't really let him lose face, right?
A few minutes later, the phone was hung up.
"I'll be by you sooner or later, and you're thinking about me, right?"
Han Sanping pointed at Han Jianu, and when her fiery temper came to her mouth, she instantly softened a lot.
"I think you're just busy. Do more than Uncle Ren, others are re-elected, and you retire. And now it'...... Extracting surplus value ......"
Listening to Han Jianu's babbling words, Han Sanping was a lot more relieved. It turns out that this "padded jacket" still knows how difficult it is for him!
"Alright. Aren't you clamoring to go out and find materials? I approved. β
"Really? The Lantern Festival hasn't passed yet! Han Jianu asked distrustfully.
"Well, I kid you not. I'll go back to China Film tomorrow morning, and I won't be eating at home. This matter is not allowed to be reported. β
"Hey, underestimate me, am I that kind of person?"
After speaking, Han Jianu immediately got up and was about to go back to the room to pack her things with a smile on her face.
Looking at the back of the upstairs, Han Sanping muttered, "Residual value? It's not to save favors and connections for you...... I want to do well on both sides! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Huang Xiaoming's boss drama "Splendid Adventure" will start broadcasting in only two days.
The promotional materials on the Internet are also wave after wave, which is dizzying.
Including Lin Nan, many insiders praised Sect Leader Huang's propaganda Weibo.
Although everyone always complains that the film and television works of the boss are naΓ―ve, for the people who play the boss, it is really enjoyable!
In addition, the ratings of such film and television works have always been not low, which is enough to show that the audience is wide!
Therefore, the competition for the webcast copyright of this drama was very fierce; Tudou did not get exclusive, but shared it with platforms such as Youku.
Lin Nan watched Huang Xiaoming interact with everyone on Weibo while answering Tom's call.
"Lin, the release of "Fifty Shades Darker" in North America is tomorrow, and the company and Lionsgate are fully prepared. Its profits are definitely no worse than "Fifty Shades of Grey". β
"So, you're calling me at the party?"
Lin Nan stroked the fat orange in his arms, and it made a lazy cry from time to time, attracting the other two cats in the living room to also gather around the side, wanting to replace it.
"Haha...... Hiccup..., I'm at Warners' project launch party, they have several big-budget movies set a project schedule, I'll help you inquire, maybe there's a good one for Crystal? β
This reason made Lin Nan unable to refute. "Okay, you drink slowly, this wine burp."
"Okay...... Listen, what are they talking about "King Kong: Skull Island" again? β
Liu Yifei stepped on slippers and came down from upstairs. After running and taking a shower, her face was unusually ruddy.
"Lin Nan, look at the message sent by Han Jianu, it's a bit chattering."
Liu Yifei walked up, bent down and picked up the little black cat from the carpet and hugged it in his arms, and then handed his mobile phone to Lin Nan.
After looking at the sentence on the chat interface, Director Lin Da couldn't help but laugh a little.
I saw that there were only a dozen words on it: "Tell Senior Brother Lin that tomorrow morning, Hongmen Banquet!" β
"Good fellow, Hongmen Feast? Do you have a knife and axe? Or do you want to smash the cup? Lin Nan teased with a smile.
In his opinion, Zhongying is asking for something at most. In addition to the share of the movie, there should be nothing else, right? Or......
"Lin Nan, do you want to ask her? It can't be a message to tease me, right? She's pretty big and likes to play. β
Liu Yifei couldn't help but complain about Han Jianu, who is this kind of character.
The thought that had just flashed in Lin Nan's mind was interrupted by Miss Liu.
"Leave her alone, it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm just going to have a meal, can Ladong still tie me up in the shadow? You should also prepare something to entertain them tomorrow. β
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei came to the spirit.
"I've already called the restaurant in the afternoon and they'll help me prepare. I also specially told it to be delivered at one o'clock in the afternoon. You need to come back as soon as possible. β
"yes, okay."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and the figure of the gang of people in the association flashed in his mind.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Produced by Huayi, starring Liu Dehao, Jing Boran, Liang Jiahui, Wu Juru and others, the anti-abduction movie "Lost Orphans" has been released on the 20th of this month......"
The imported blockbusters "Jupiter Ascending", "Cinderella", "Hurricane Rescue 3", and "Ace Agent: Secret Service Academy" will land on the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th of this month. Many domestic films are facing huge challenges! β
According to relevant sources, the second season of the large-scale competitive reality show variety show "Running Man", which is controlled by Lin Nanying's owner and invested by Guangguang, will officially start recording on the 5th of this month...... The follow-up is still in the mode of recording while broadcasting...... Blueberry once again won the exclusive TV rights at a high price......"
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, there was another pile of news on the Internet.
Lin Nan was a little speechless, the recording time of the second season of "Running Man" actually leaked the news?
Fortunately, the recording location of the show did not spread, and the impact was not very great.
At eight o'clock, Lin Nan set off from home on time to the company. He was going to go to Zhongying again at ten o'clock.
As for Liu Yifei? That must be still at home and still lying in bed. But they will get up at ten o'clock at the latest, because they are coming over to be guests today.
"Director Lin, Shiyue Culture is asking about the schedule."
Within a few minutes of entering the office, Yue Jun ran over.
"Are they in such a hurry?"
"Can you not be in a hurry? An animated film has been made for several years, and you know the excitement and nervousness. β
Lin Nan nodded, it was true.
Animated films are different from live-action films, which are generally time-consuming, labor-intensive, and riskier.
Except, of course, for the top sci-fi blockbusters, which are much more engineering than animated films!
"It's nothing more than summer files, National Day files, Chinese New Year files, and Spring Festival files...... Then the summer file, right? β
Looking at Yue Jun, Lin Nan decided lightly.
"The Return of the Great Sage" is the theme of "Journey to the West" and an animated movie. The summer file is the most suitable for it because there are many students!
And the Chinese New Year stalls and Spring Festival stalls are too far away, and there are still ten months!
"This is set for the summer?" Yue Jun asked again with confirmation.
"Well, it's summer. Try to lean on the first half of the summer file, there are a lot of movies in the company this year. It is not on the same track as Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", so there should be no conflict. β
Lin Nan nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Okay, I'll talk to the Moon Picking Culture later. One more thing, according to your previous plan, they are already screening and preparing new projects. β
"Well, let me know when it's settled."
"By the way, Huayi sent someone to send an invitation to the premiere of "Lost Orphans".
Hearing Yue Jun's words, Lin Nan hesitated.
He heard Liu Dehao say that in order to make this movie well, the latter has suffered a lot and put a lot of effort into it.
"If I had time, I'd go."
At the moment when Yue Jun was about to leave the office, Lin Nan remembered another thing.
"Lei Jiayin's contract has been completed, right?"
"It's been signed and the team is working on it. On the 15th, the company will make an announcement to the outside world. Do you want to see him? β
"Forget it. When everyone is free, we will meet again. β
"Okay."
Lin Nan put his hands on the desk, and turned the pen in his right hand.
He remembered that when Yang Mi's contract expired, Yue Jun reminded Yang Mi that he could set up his own studio and hang it under Shanhai Media.
But the final result was: Jiaxing was born!
Compared with Yang Mi, Lei Jiayin is obviously better able to distinguish the good from the bad and know what the best option is.
β¦β¦
At 10:40 in the morning, Lin Nan arrived at Zhongying in a car.
Just like the General Administration, there are a lot of insiders who come in and out every day, and there are even people from foreign film companies.
After all, only China Film has the right to decide which foreign language films can enter the mainland, be released in the form of account-sharing films, and participate in the box office sharing.
"Director Lin, I haven't congratulated you yet, you won the Academy Award for Best Director."
Yu Dong's fat face is particularly eye-catching.
The smiles of him and Wang Zhonglei always give people a feeling of not being at ease.
"Yu Dong is polite, what are you?" Lin Nan greeted perfunctorily.
"I came to Ladong to talk about "Scorching Sun", and it has been resolved. By the way, Director Lin has a lot of movies this year. In the distribution business, I'm afraid the light family won't be able to eat it. Consider Bona, we are no worse than the light. β
"Yu Dong, I am more nostalgic and conservative, and partners are not used to changing around, unless there is some reason to change."
Lin Nan refused more tactfully, and Yu Dong had to stop asking.
"Bona's sincerity will always remain, and Director Lin can speak at any time. Let's not bother Director Lin for now, see you later. β
"Well, see you later."
The two passed by, and Lin Nan went in the direction of the chairman's office.
"Yu Dong?" The secretary snorted.
Yu Dong looked at Lin Nan's back and couldn't help but scold:
"Wang Changtian, that old thing, is quite lucky. took Lin Nan's boat, and potatoes......
When Bona chose to list on the NASDAQ, it seemed like a wrong choice.
I have to delist as soon as possible and return to China. The mainland market is the real sea and sky! β
β¦β¦
He was not the only one in La's office, there was also Han Sanping.
Lin Nan thought of this yesterday evening, otherwise Han Jianu would not have sent a message. If she can send a message, it means that she knows it from Han Sanping.
So Han Sanye is also here, so he can figure it out.
"As soon as I came to the group in the morning, I asked the secretary to tell me to go down. Today, according to the standards of reception, celebrate your Oscar for Best Director. You are the first Oscar for Best Director in our mainland film industry! Lama said with a smile.
Han Sanping was drinking tea on the side, and he also smiled a little proudly:
"It was the wisest thing I did to keep prying the corners of the wall and poaching you from Ren Zhonglun, haha......"
Lin Nan sat opposite Han Sanping, shook his head with a smile, and didn't speak.
Fate is a wonderful thing, because of the matter of "Painted Skin 2", his fate with Shangying was broken like this. Although Shangying has been trying to continue the film over the years......
"This is my first celebration banquet after returning to China, thank you Ladong."
Lin Nan knew very well in his heart that the two leaders were there, and this could not be explained by a simple celebration banquet.
"Before you went to Berlin, I remember you said that you were going to make a new movie, when will it be decided?"
La Companion Kangke remembers that when he was in Berlin, Ren Zhonglun already knew about Lin Nan's new movie, and he didn't want to dream too much at night.
Han Sanping has a concept that he is also very convinced of today, that is: on the premise of having a middle film, the upper film is dispensable.
"It's been a few days, and my company is making a budget."
Lin Nan said bluntly. He's waiting, the two things of the celebration banquet + new movie are still not enough to make Han Sanping here!
"That's good."
"What type is it this time? Science fiction? Action? Main melody? Suspense? Realistic themes? Han Sanping was a little curious.
"In comedy action and suspense films, the protagonist is a detective."
"You, you're really good at playing. It's broadening the scope of coverage again. Han Sanping nodded and praised.
"I have a lot of awards now, and I also have box office results, so I can play as much as I want."
Lin Nan said this very domineeringly, with a confident smile on his face. He is qualified to say so.
When La Paikang and Han Sanping heard this, they were a little speechless for a while.
At this time, a knock on the door broke the atmosphere in the office. It's La's secretary.
"Ladong, it's past 11 o'clock. You see if you should go to the small hall now, they are ready. β
"Huh? Han Dong, Lin Nan, let's go? La's accompaniment stood up and invited with a smile.
"Then let's go, I came on an empty stomach in the morning." Lin Nan made a joke.
β¦β¦
In the small hall of China Film, Lin Nan has been here more than once.
He can't help but sigh every time that expensive ingredients can always be made "unpretentious". If you don't eat it in your mouth, your eyes will keep deceiving you.
Three people, one table of dishes. Lin Nan moved his chopsticks very infrequently, and he ate very slowly, because he had to keep his stomach and go back.
"Lin Nan, the General Administration held a meeting a few days ago, and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was named and praised again. This is by far the most successful commercial film with a main theme. In the past, when everyone mentioned the main theme, their first reaction was boring, boring, and preachy. And "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" changed that status quo......"
Got to the point?! Lin Nan muttered in his heart and didn't answer.
"Lin Nan, you should understand the value of the main theme movie. The industry needs a leader, and it also needs a role model above. β
Han Sanping took Lama Peikang's words and added.
"So, didn't I make my first commercial film with the main theme? In the future, Lin Nan Pictures will continue to make movies with the main theme. β
Lin Nan responded, he had already determined six percent in his heart.
"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is very exciting, with a bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth. In particular, its significance is very important to the industry, to the top, and to the bottom. β
"This movie, it has to win an award, it must win an award!"
La accompanied Kang and Han Sanping sang and harmonized, and the poor dagger saw it.
"Therefore, I will take "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" to participate in the Huabiao Awards, which can be regarded as making up for the 09 years."
Lin Nan took a sip of the chicken soup that was as clear as clear water, and the taste was very fresh, before replying.
The two people at the dinner table paused, and two seconds later, it was La's mouth that was opened:
"You should know what we mean. An important award in China, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has to be won one by one! β
"So what?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked with a smile without the slightest emotion.
"Including the Golden Rooster!"
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan in a very light tone.
"It's really one, Hongmen Banquet!"
Lin Nan couldn't help but complain, and the smile on his face was a little indifferent.
