Chapter 93 The Story of Steamed Buns

This should be the first time for Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli to eat together.

After the meal, Mother Liu talked a lot and asked a lot of things, and her smile never broke. She was completely different from when they first met.

"...Young people should still put their career first, followed by emotional matters..."

Liu Yifei buried her head lower, Lin Nan said with a smile. He continued without a word.

"Sissi, your head is in the bowl."

Mother Liu coughed and reminded.

......

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli sent Lin Nan out of the yard, "When she is free from now on, I will ask her to go out for a walk. It is not shameful to stay at home all day..."

"Okay, aunt, bye."

Waving to Liu Yifei, who was still dazed, Lin Nan got into the car.

"Mom, why are you different today from before?"

Liu Yifei then asked.

Mother Liu's face darkened, "I'm different? It's not because of you."

After that, Mother Liu ignored her daughter and went straight back to the villa.

The employee who was driving was a little panicked. Director Lin kept giggling after getting in the car. Do you want to call him?

"Director Lin?"

"Well, ah...what's wrong?" Lin Nan asked, he was still in a good mood today .

"It's nothing, it's just that the exam you mentioned last time has been taken care of. You can just go and take the exam when the time comes."

Lin Nan remembered that Liu Yifei had asked him to take a driver's license test so that he could drive for fun, so he told someone in the company to find someone to arrange it for him.

“Okay, I get it, take the time to go in these two days.”

The film market is still in a scuffle, and "If Love" has already been flat, with an estimated box office of more than 20 million in the mainland. It's hard to go any higher.

Only in Hong Kong and some Southeast Asian countries, Chen Kexin's "If Love" is still quite exciting.

I heard that the producer is in communication and wants to postpone the release of "If Love", but I don't know whether the result will be successful.

Back at the company, there are still a lot of things to do.

Han Sanping is once again eyeing the later stages of "Time Cruise", which is non-hardcore science fiction. Otherwise, Lin Nan will absolutely refuse, and the special effects at this time will have to be from abroad.

"Tell them my request. This film must be made carefully." Lin Nan emphasized again.

“No problem, Director Lin.”

“And what kind of invitation are you talking about?”

"It's an invitation for a commercial short film."

Now Lin Nan really wanted to hear it. He got an invitation from a Berlin director for a commercial film. The other party was obviously well prepared.

“Who is Party A?”

“Yahoo Domestic Network, they are planning to not only shoot one film, but invite multiple directors, and will also audition some amateur faces to participate in the commercial. "

"It sounds so familiar..."

Lin Nan muttered.

“Is there any other information?”

“It seems that invitations have been sent to many big directors, and a name has been specially chosen for the audition, called ‘Sou Xing’ , Well, that’s the name.”

At this point, Lin Nan remembered that the domestic president of Yahoo seemed to be named Ma.

“Let’s forget it and reply to them, I don’t have any free time here.”

"Okay."

Lin Nan looked at the invitation. It will take about four months from start to finish.

There will definitely be constant publicity and interviews to be done in the middle. The labor and effort is not as easy as making a movie, so forget it.

Looking through the news, the team behind "The Promise" has appeared on many programs recently. The screenwriters, directors, etc. have appeared on various talk shows or portals to talk about the "connotation and thoughts" of "The Promise".

Director Chen is making a last ditch effort. "The Promise" has begun to be screened on a small scale in the United States, and he is working hard to win more statuettes during the "Olympic bid" process.

Han Sanping knew about Lin Nan's return. Just because he didn't look for him immediately didn't mean that he wouldn't look for him.

"There is nothing we can do. We need a movie to give us more energy."

Han Sanping explained in a rare way.

"Mr. Han, I'm fine. But if you come here a few more times, I'm afraid the Shanghai Film Studio will have a big problem."

Lin Nan joked.

"It's okay, I communicated with Lao Ren."

Han Sanping smiled a little reluctantly. Taking over the post-production of "Time Cruiser" would also allow him to say a few more words at the meeting, so that everyone would not stare at him. The pitfall of "The Promise".

"In the future, the group will have to fill the hole in "The Promise", and it depends on your "Time Cruiser" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth"."

"Mr. Han, this is a joke. It’s a big deal. The group has so many films open at the same time. Just talking about these two movies is a bit too much. I can’t bear such a big burden.”

Lin Nan slipped. Even if the box office is good, China Film. It’s just an investment, so how much can you gain?

...

I took the time to go to the driving test site, focusing on practical exercises. This was the first time in Lin Nan's life that he held the steering wheel. The imprint of an old driver engraved deep in his soul in his previous life was suddenly activated.

The operation is proficient and smooth. The staff can tell at a glance that this is a veteran. No wonder they spend money to go through channels to take the exam directly. I just don’t know that they are so proficient. Why not spend more and take one directly?

After Lin Nan left, several staff members gathered around, "Didn't you pay attention just now? The person taking the exam was Lin Nan, the director of Nortel."

"Oh! No wonder you saw it Looks familiar, he was in the newspaper two days ago, saying that the movie was finished. No wonder he is so familiar with the exam, maybe he has been practicing for a long time..." The industry was shocked. It was the first time someone blatantly spoofed "The Promise". The click-through rate skyrocketed and the video spread rapidly.

As if he had discovered a new world, Ning Hao asked Lin Nan to turn on the computer and said there was a short video for him to watch.

Before the release of "The Promise", people across the country thought it would be the best movie of the year, but after its release, it was met with mixed reviews.

The 20-minute edited video combines clips from "The Promise", "Legal Report", "Circus City Performance Content", etc. The dialogue has also been re-edited, making it nonsensical and funny, with funny advertisements interspersed... …

Lin Nan knew what it was, "The Murderous Case of a Steamed Bun".

If Lin Nan was still an audience member, he would be happy to applaud and applaud. He still thinks the editing is funny, but he can't.

The difference in identity and position forced him to think about the consequences of this video.

China Film Investment invested 350 million, and Chen Kaige, a Palme d'Or director, spent three years hiring actors from three countries. In the end, he was ridiculed by this 20-minute short video. This has an incredible impact on the industry. It is estimated that the impact will be very bad.

Many directors and filmmakers should be afraid of something like this happening to them if they want to do something in their position.

If everyone’s previous ridicule of "The Promise" was scattered, then the emergence of this video and its crazy circulation on the Internet means that a leader has emerged, and all the people and voices who ridiculed have gathered together. Create a torrent.

The most ridiculous thing is that the download rate of "The Promise" on the Internet is much lower than that of "The Murderous Case of a Steamed Bun".

"How is it, have you seen it?"

Ning Hao asked on the phone.

“Look, to be honest, I’m afraid something is going to happen.”

“It’s not that something is going to happen, it’s already happened. How could Director Chen tolerate such a mocking voice? Is that the female host of the light?”

"Already out? What happened?" Lin Nan asked.

"It's okay to curse people, there are no curse words. Words such as despicable and shameless are conveyed directly to the media and will be presented to the court."

It is enough to allow Chen Kaige to say these words. You can see how angry he is, and he usually has a very high level of self-control.

……

“This matter must be dealt with seriously. It will have a serious impact on the film and television industry. Which director and company dares to say that the movie they make will be liked by everyone?

One person can give you seven or eight cuts, make a joke, and post it on the Internet. Will we make movies in the future? "

"Then hold a meeting to discuss this matter. The impact is indeed huge. ”

The more chaotic the industry became, the more excited the media became, and many people in the film and television industry came out to express their opinions.

Zhang Yimou, as a major domestic director whose status is almost the same as that of Chen Kaige, was blocked by reporters.< br>
“Director Zhang, if your movie was pranked by netizens like this, how would you deal with it? ”

"I won't mind this problem, I will enjoy it with the people."

As expected of Lao Mouzi, a person who enjoys happiness with the people can easily resolve the embarrassment, and many netizens admire his tolerant spirit.

It is rare for people in the industry to criticize Chen Kaige head-on. Lin Nan even wondered whether Lu Chuan took the wrong medicine or was sexually assaulted.

With "Kekexili", Lu Chuan is known as the leader of the sixth generation of directors, but he claims to be an outstanding representative of the seventh generation.

Lin Nan felt that he was overly flattering himself, that's why he said that.

"What age are we in? Only if you are crazy will you suppress other people's comments..."

Chen Kaige was tough in his words.

This is no longer a question of who is right or wrong, it involves the industry, interests and reputation.

Have a meeting!

The notice from the Film and Television Association has arrived.

Lin Nan had been told a lot in school that fighting alone would not last long and he would not be a gregarious person.

At the beginning of his senior year, Lin Nan was once again subjected to ideological work, and finally he had to agree and join the association as a member. However, a few months later, he was still tricked by these old guys.

“Do you know who is mocking Director Chen the most now?”

Lin Nan shook his head, how could he know this.

“It’s Director Chen’s ex-wife.” Ning Hao whispered.

Lin Nan became interested, "How do you say it?"

"The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, but can't even hold a steamed bun, so he obviously has a small belly and chicken intestines."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. , Sure enough, it has to be the person next to you."

"There is still the second part," Ning Hao said with a smile.

“Say.”

"She said: 'A woman must be cautious when marrying. In this life, I am too late. I must be careful in the next life.' How cruel."

Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao, "I didn't realize you were so gossipy. Do you even know what Director Chen’s ex-wife said?”

Ning Hao’s face darkened, “It was your sister who said this to me dozens of times.”

Lin Nan was happy when he heard this, "This is to inoculate you, haha. I'm afraid that one day you will follow Director Chen's old path, and the new person will be better than the old one!"

"No way", Ning Hao said these three words with great force.

Lin Nan also suppressed his smile. This topic is a curse in the circle. Many couples have gone through hardships, but they can't share the happiness.

"I'm optimistic about you and that sister." Lin Nan sincerely blessed.

"Stop talking about this, think about the association. I guess everyone in the circle will be here this time."

Lin Nan nodded and agreed with Ning Hao.

In terms of influence in the association, Zhang Yimou is much weaker than Chen Kaige. After all, the latter's family background is there, and he has left many connections from the older generation.
