Chapter 761: From now on, business is business!
"I have the Golden Lion, the Golden Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear, the Golden Ball, the Oscar, well, and then the Golden Horse.
I have so many awards, I don't care about a golden rooster. Why should you go? Why do you want to give those old things a leg up? Do you nauseate yourself? β
Lin Nan continued to talk to himself, and the dishes that had been picked up by the chopsticks in his hand fell again.
La Paokang and Han Sanping glanced at each other, and the two of them knew very well that Lin Nan couldn't find fault with what he said.
For Lin Nan, in terms of awards, the Golden Rooster is indeed dispensable, and it can't be on the stage, not even the Golden Horse. Can......
"Since you don't care, let's go once, right?"
"Hehe, Han Dong, I'm not a stunned young man who just entered the school. This agitation is too naΓ―ve, don't say it again. β
Lin Nan smiled and put down his chopsticks and put them down completely. It seems that in the afternoon today, we can have a good dinner with Miss Liu and them.
At the dinner table, there was a brief dead silence.
"Can't think about it anymore?" Lapai Kang is still holding out hope.
"I'm not going. Over the years, I haven't scolded them on the Internet like Feng Xiaogang, and I haven't mocked the golden rooster like many directors, I am already very cultivated. You'd better not mess with the water from the well, so that they don't come to provoke me. β
Lin Nan looked directly at La Paokang and Han Sanping, and once again expressed his attitude.
I saw that the expressions of the two people on the other side were a little helpless, or tangled.
In the end, Han Sanping sighed and motioned to La, "It's better for you to talk to him." β
La Pingkang nodded, Han Sanping is indeed not good at doing ideological work, his style has always been vigorous and resolute.
Lin Nan leaned back in his chair, already having the idea of leaving Zhongying.
"Lin Nan ......"
"Ladong, if there is anything else, let's finish it all at once. Today, they are coming to the house as guests, and I am in a hurry to go back. β
Both of them could hear that Lin Nan was impatient, or that today's meal had already shown signs of "breaking up unhappily".
"In fact, at the end of last year, China Film also had the idea of letting you go to the Golden Rooster with "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", but it was just an idea, after all, this is a political achievement.
But for the association, this is the 'mission', you should know what the word 'mission' means? β
For the first time today, Lin Nan's expression became a little solemn. Task, which means the above.
"More than a week ago, there was a meeting in the bureau, and I was left in the children's bureau for half an hour. Then, the task of the association became the task of China Film!
The leaders will not force you, but the task is the task! "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is indeed well deserved...... And your honor now...... Prizes must be given. β
"The leader will not force, but the task is the task......"
Lin Nan muttered this sentence, but it was really 'language art'.
"What if I insist?"
Lin Nan didn't let go, he was still very firm, he would never go to the Golden Rooster.
If it goes, what is it? Jokes? What is it that gets out? Submit? Soft?
Seeing that Lin Nan still had this attitude, Han Sanping couldn't help but speak:
"I knew you had this attitude before. The idea I gave was to bypass you, sign up for Zhongying, and then slowly compensate you afterwards. Although this method is indeed a bad idea as a last resort, Zhongying also has the difficulties of Zhongying...... The location is here.
Ladong means to talk to you. This is not a matter of signing up at all, this is a prize to be given above, and an award should be given, after all, it is typical.
You can not give the golden rooster face, or even scold them openly, but how about you take care of the face of the relevant departments? Why don't you let the leaders of the General Administration talk to you personally? Let the children's game ......"
Lin Nan closed his eyes and listened to Han Sanping's words, this moment was really disgusting.
"Let China Film sign up...... You don't have to participate, you don't have to show up, it's a good compromise for the top, for the bottom, for whom. What do you think? β
La's voice sounded in Lin Nan's ears.
Lin Nan heard it, this was not asking for his opinion and attitude, this was something that Zhongying had basically decided;
just didn't choose to hide it, but spread it out with him bluntly, most likely hoping to get his "understanding".
When I opened my eyes after a long time, there was already some blood in them. Lin Nan knew that he couldn't change this result.
"Is it all over?
Task, not my task; Even if I don't let "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" go to the Golden Rooster, the above will not force me.
In the final analysis, China Film is willing to take on this task. After all, is it a political achievement......"
The atmosphere was a little cold, and La's companion couldn't find a word to refute for a while. Han Sanping had already realized that something was wrong.
"Lin Nan?"
"Ladong, this meal is good, thank you. But I had to keep my stomach and go home for the guests. The time was almost up, so I left first. β
As he spoke, Lin Nan had already stood up.
As if nothing had happened, he smiled and took his leave.
Looking at the back walking away step by step, Lapai Kang asked:
"Lin Nan, the matter of the golden rooster?"
Han Sanping wanted to stop it, but his reaction was still half a beat slower.
"Now that the Chinese film has been decided, there is no need to ask me anything, it is redundant.
But how I face the media and how I talk after that, that's my business. I'm not going to attend the Golden Rooster. Ladong ......"
Lin Nan's voice became farther and farther away, until it completely disappeared from the sight of Lapai Kang and Han Sanping along with the figure.
"You shouldn't have asked. You can make another appointment with him another day. β
Han Sanping picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into his mouth, he had a bad premonition.
La Pakang frowned, "Yes, there won't be any problems?" β
From the small hall to the gate of China Film, it was originally three or five minutes away, but Lin Nan seemed to have walked for ten minutes.
Standing outside, he stared back at the door of Zhongying, and did not take his eyes off for a long time.
"Ladong, this is a very valuable lesson...... After that, business is business. β
A few minutes later, Lin Nan resolutely walked towards the big G that stopped not far away - home.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The "battlefield" of the dinner was moved by Liu Yifei from Liu Xiaoli's villa to Lin Nan's side, because the place was more spacious.
After all, Lin Nan doesn't have so many swings, rocking chairs, as well as vegetable gardens, gardens and pavilions, and most importantly, there are no groups of cats and dogs.
When Lin Nan arrived home, it was exactly 12:20 p.m.
A group of people were on the lawn of the villa, basking in the warm sun and eating snacks, chattering and laughing.
When they saw the big black G driving directly into the garage, everyone knew that the main owner was back.
"Yifei, call the restaurant quickly, the delivery time is set late!" Zhou Xun swallowed melon seeds and hurriedly shouted Liu Yifei.
"I guess Director Lin must not have eaten a few bites in Zhongying, this is in a hurry to come back to entertain us."
Huang Xiaoming got up from the rocking chair with a smile and prepared to greet him.
"I'm hungry, Sissi."
Shu Zhan hugged the raccoon cat from next door in his arms and looked at Liu Yifei "miserably".
"Wait for me to call and urge."
Liu Yifei said as she walked into the living room of the villa.
Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin were holding pokers in their hands, and they were in an anxious situation and had no time to interject.
Lin Nan couldn't see a trace of strange emotions on his face, and the "unhappy breakup" in Zhongying an hour ago seemed to not exist.
"I said you came to pay New Year's greetings, did you bring any gifts? Don't just eat and drink. Hey, don't stare at me, it's you, put our cat down. β
Far away, Lin Nan made a joke.
"Shh
"Bring, I brought a bag of melon seeds, no, everyone has already eaten it!" Zhou Xun joked with a smile.
"We are all petty fights, so the sect leader is arrogant, and I brought you two boxes of red wine, as well as a few boxes of sea cucumbers, dried abalone, and ......."
Huang Bo grabbed a good hand of cards and turned his head sideways with emotion. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were all nodding.
"For the New Year, it's like this when you go to relatives." Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.
Lin Nan couldn't cry or laugh a little, he didn't know what to say about Sect Leader Huang, he was really good at being a man.
"The wine has been put in the wine storage room, and the ingredients have been moved next door."
Liu Yifei came out of the villa and winked at Lin Nan with a happy expression.
Then she looked at everyone again, and the hostess's posture was tight: "In about twenty minutes, we can start eating." β
With Lin Nan joining, the courtyard instantly became more lively.
Fuck off! The crew of "Tumor Jun" is resting today, so Liu Yifei put the dinner time today, just to wait for Shu Zhan and Luo Jin.
As for the others, they are either just finished, such as Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo; Either it will be a few days before there are announcements and drama appointments, such as Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen.
In addition, Zhou Xun is also one of the judges of the Capital International Film Festival next month.
Anyway, at this point, everyone is on vacation.
The food delivery vehicle came by stuck in 20 minutes.
The five waiters moved out several large incubators, and within two or three minutes, they completed a series of operations such as laying out the table, serving the food, and plating, and then left quickly.
"Come, take advantage of the venue and dinner opportunity provided by Director Lin and Yifei, and I will have good news."
Huang Xiaoming held his wine glass, a smile overflowing on his face.
"What?"
"Say it quickly."
"Like Director Lin and Yifei, I am also preparing to get married this year. Let's keep it a secret from the outside world first, do ......"
A group of people stared at each other, and it was indeed good news!
"Hey, I've got to get another share of the money!"
"Yes, I'll be there then."
"Congratulations to Xiao Ming."
"Congratulations, Brother Xiaoming."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei gently clinked their glasses and looked at Huang Xiaoming: "Congratulations ......"
The dinner was carried out lively, chatting while eating, playing and making trouble, and before you knew it, it was more than an hour.
On the other side, the Film Association.
"There is news from China Film that "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is confirmed to participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards."
"Sure? But Lin Nan has always refused to see us? β
"Look at it like this, do Zhongying and Lin Nan have different opinions?"
"Is this going to work? Can Lin Nan cooperate? β
"La's secretary said that China Film has a 30% share of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and is one of the largest producers, so it can sign up on behalf of the film.
"Then when the time comes, can he come?"
"This, Zhongying said...... Don't count on it. β
"Set a time, announce this matter in these two days, we have to ...... first"
"Yes, that's it!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei personally sent five people except Shu Zhan out of the villa area.
In the living room, Liu Yifei was questioning Lin Nan, and Shu Zhan was watching the excitement on the side.
"When Brother Xun asked you why you came back early, something was wrong with you, only I could see it! Tell me, what's going on? β
Good guy, looking at Liu Yifei Lin Nan, who looked like an "interrogation", was quite speechless, he was perfectly restrained by Miss Liu!
"You're amazing, you've found out. Your ingenuity doubles when you use it on me, right? Every time, you're caught by a quasi-kid! β
Lin Nan laughed and teased, and was thrown by Liu Yifei, "Say it quickly." β
"Yes, be honest!" Shu advocated on the side.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was stabbed in the back by the middle shadow. They wanted me to sign up for Golden Rooster with "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and even unilaterally prepared a compromise method, the kind that was not negotiable...... Hehe, it's a task, but it's actually a political achievement......"
Lin Nan chattered, and Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan frowned one after another.
"So, what then?"
After a long time, Liu Yifei asked worriedly.
Lin Nan has been dealing with the association and the golden rooster for so many years, and everyone in the circle knows it. Now that it's out, I don't know what the outside will say.
"I'm not going to the Golden Rooster. Also, in order to prevent those people from causing trouble, I had to 'do it' in advance, and then ......."
Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan looked at each other, both of them didn't understand the meaning of Lin Nan's words.
I saw Director Lin Da pick up his mobile phone, flip through the address book, and call out a few seconds later.
He drove the hands-free, and the opposite side was also very fast.
"Director Lin? Cao Dong is in a meeting right now, and you can call him in ten minutes, or ......"
On the other end of the phone, he thought that Lin Nan couldn't get through Cao Guowei's phone, so he called him.
"No need, I'll look for you."
"Huh? Do you have anything to tell you? β
"I want tomorrow's hot search ......"
Lin Nan gave a detailed order, and Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan were stunned when they heard it on the side.
Ten minutes later, the other end of the phone echoed again and again: "Director Lin rest assured, I promise that there is no problem." β
"That's it, say hello to Dong Cao for me."
"Okay, Director Lin."
Seeing Lin Nan hang up the phone, Liu Yifei spoke, "Are you afraid that those people will spread rumors first?" β
"Hmm."
Lin Nan nodded, a little solemn between his eyebrows.
"Sissi, the producer of "Detective Chinatown" was handed over to you?"
"No problem, wrap it up on me."
Liu Yifei avoided the key point and patted her chest gently, with a confident smile on her face, she just wanted to be a husband and wife!
"Sissi Producer ......"
Shu Zhan hummed and chirped and hugged Liu Yifei's arm and began to be coquettish.
Lin Nan didn't care about their fighting, he looked at the other number in the address book, took a deep breath, and dialed it out.
Magic City, Upper Shadow.
Ren Zhonglun had just returned to the office from a group meeting, and he was listening to a separate report from the marketing department.
"The box office trend of "Heavenly General" is still very good, and it has reached 600 million. But to break through the box office of 1 billion, it is almost impossible, and even 800 million is a bit laborious.
But if you count the overseas copyright income that has been obtained before, this movie will definitely make a lot of money, just look at how much the domestic box office can reach when it is released. β
Ren Zhonglun nodded with satisfaction, for a movie with an investment of 400 million yuan, it is really not easy for "Heavenly General" to make money.
Overseas copyrights are selling well, and they all rely on the influence of Cheng Long and Oscar winner Adrian Brody, and Cheng Long accounts for the majority!
Suddenly, the vibration of the mobile phone on the desk attracted the attention of everyone in the office and broke the working atmosphere.
It is definitely not okay for other people to have this kind of thing when they report to work, but Ren Zhonglun is an exception.
Ren Zhonglun subconsciously looked at his mobile phone, and the caller ID on the screen instantly lifted his spirits.
"I'm here today, and the people from the marketing department can go back first."
"Okay, Ren Dong."
Several people hurriedly withdrew from the chairman's office, leaving only the secretary inside.
"Who? actually made Ren Dong so excited? β
"I glanced at it, it seems to be Director Lin Nan!"
"Huh? That's no wonder. β
In the office, Ren Zhonglun answered the phone.
This is the first time Lin Nan has taken the initiative to call since "Painted Skin 2", and it has been 5 years!
"Lin Nan, I'm waiting for your call, but it's too hard to wait."
Although he had some expectations in his heart, Ren Zhonglun did not say it explicitly.
Ren Dong said with a smile. I'll get straight to the point, right? β
Lin Nan's voice came out of the phone, and Ren Zhonglun was suddenly excited: "You say." β
"When I was in Berlin last month, I said I was working on a new commercial film. If you have an idea, come to our company in two days. β
"Okay, I'll make people ...... I arrived on time. Ren Zhonglun said loudly with undisguised joy in his tone.
Lin Nan paused, 5 years ago flashed in his mind, and then made a very serious joke:
"My film is a series like "Painted Skin", maybe the sequel will still be handed over to other directors......"
"Shadow Follow!"
Lin Nan's words were interrupted by Ren Zhonglun.
"Good. But this time the share given to Shangying will not be much. β
"It doesn't matter, you can have as much as you want."
"See you in two days, Ren Dong."
"Well, I'll see you in two days."
Looking at the hung up phone, Lin Nan smiled at Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan:
"After that, only the two core allies of Light and Wanda will remain. The others, all at the back, are considered ordinary allies. Haha......"
"Lin Nan, this?"
"So be it. Let's go out for a walk on the dog. β
Shangying, Chairman's Office.
Ren Zhonglun tapped on the office desktop with his right hand, and he was in a very good mood.
It's been five years, and Shangying finally got the share of Lin Nan's movies again.
Even if it is less, he will not have any opinion.
Because it means that Kamiage is back on this ship, and everything can start again.
"It's been five years, and he is now a top director in China and the first ...... in the mainland."
Suddenly, Ren Zhonglun reacted, "What's the situation over there?" How could it? β
He looked at the secretary and ordered, "Go and inquire and see if something happened between Zhongying and Lin Nan?" Otherwise, it is unlikely that we will be given a chance! β
"Okay, Ren Dong."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Following.
Early in the morning, the entire film and television industry was attracted by the entertainment headlines on the Internet and the hot search on Weibo.
After 10 years, I actually saw the news of the intersection of Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Award again? ! Most people in the circle have a feeling that time has flown by.
"It is reported that since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association have visited Lin Nan Pictures several times, but they have been turned away."
"After director Lin Nan won the Golden Globe, Golden Bear, and Oscar for Best Director. A few days ago, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee were closed to Lin Nan Pictures again. β
"Since 05, counting the grievances between director Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association, the former has been publicly criticized and suppressed many times in the style of 'relying on the old and selling the old' and 'ranking on seniority'."
"Director Lin Nan was absent from the Huabiao Awards in 09 for participating in the Venice International Film Festival, so he was named and reprimanded by many 'seniors' of the Film Association and the Golden Rooster Committee, and even put on a hat. This time, after director Lin Nan won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, he immediately quit the film association in anger......"
"The Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association have come to the door several times, just to invite director Lin Nan, who is now a 'successful and famous', to return to ......the Golden Rooster stage."
"10 years have passed, and feng shui has taken turns ......"
β¦β¦
A large number of news about Lin Nan, Golden Rooster, and the Film Association have been on the top of hot searches and headlines, and the key is that they are all true things that can be found.
In the entire film and television industry, the vast majority of people are confused. It's not clear why? Is it because the golden rooster wants Lin Nan to "cheer"? Or is there something else?
And the China Film and Film Association is already in chaos.
Lin Nan mentioned these old things and broke the news that people from the association came to the door many times, but he ignored them...... Is it a gesture? Is it a slap in the face over there? Or, is there something else? β
β¦β¦
"All of a sudden, all of a sudden, these things burst out, it must be him! What does he want to do? To flip the table, or to rebel? β
"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has been confirmed! What's the matter, does he want to regret it or break with Zhongying? β
"Announce the application for the Golden Rooster Award for "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" as soon as possible! Look at who was laughed at and slapped in the face...... Didn't you persist for 10 years? Why didn't you keep holding on? β
β¦β¦
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan drove to the Film Bureau.
The entertainment news on the car radio is the gossip that has left Lin Nan Pictures several times. It's been specific to what day, what time, and how many people.
"First of all, I don't believe in the character of you old things, in case you give me a hat and say that I take the initiative to show favor to the golden rooster...... Secondly, I'm still waiting for you to announce the registration list. β
Lin Nan muttered in his heart and walked into the film bureau. He went straight to Tong Gang's office and had already called.
He came over today for two things, one is the review of "Charlotte's Troubles", and the other is "Detective Chinatown".
"I'll be waiting for you for a while."
Seeing Lin Nan who was led in by the secretary, Tong Gang put down the pen in his hand and pointed to the sofa on the side with a smile.
"Tong Bureau, my "Charlotte Troubles" was beaten back, saying that some lines need to be changed and the shots have to be cut? But it's not a big deal, I think. β
Lin Nan spoke directly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"Don't rush, let them submit again without making any changes."
Tong Gang said lightly, as if deciding on a very small matter.
Lin Nan immediately reacted, this was special care: "Thank you to the Children's Bureau, I will ask them to re-submit it for trial in the afternoon." And my script? β
"It should be announced today or tomorrow, and it's a special thing for you! Make more good movies in the future. β
"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."
Speaking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but say tentatively: "Tong Bureau, if I have any uncertain scripts or projects in the future, I can come to you directly?" β
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Tong Gang did not refuse, but nodded with a smile:
"Absolutely. You are the first Oscar-winning director in our mainland, and you are still so young! Haha......"
Tong Gang could take the initiative to make jokes, which Lin Nan didn't expect.
As for why he was tempted, he said that if there are film projects that he can't get in the future, he will come directly to the bureau, it is because he will not go to China Film many times in the future. If there is anything, there is a high probability that Yue Jun will be connected.
Lin Nan didn't expect that this trip would be so smooth today. Maybe the reason is that he has won so many awards now, right?
After all, Director Chen Da can leave the role of Prince Long, and Lin Nan feels that he should not be much worse! It's just a family background.
