Chapter 569 Old husband and young wife? Interference in Casting
When Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong, two people nearly twenty years apart, announced their relationship on Weibo, the entertainment industry was shocked.
Is it true that I got stuck in the movie "Step by Step" and couldn't get out? Then come two more TV series and be completely trapped to death?
The actresses in the industry are very happy.
Looking at the past, actresses who announced their relationships when their careers were at the peak of their popularity, especially those who did not rely on their acting skills, basically failed to make any progress.
In the future, the most we can do is maintain the current popularity and work hard to maintain it, but it absolutely cannot stop the trend and fact that the career is gradually declining.
Unless you can be like Liu Yifei, have a big director by your side and successfully advance to capital, then you can completely ignore the rules and make your own decisions!
Unfortunately, Liu Shishi was not looking for Lin Nan, but an old man who had almost become famous again.
Not only people in the circle are watching the fun, but there are also all kinds of voices on the Internet, saying everything.
The fans of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" are of course very happy and excited, but most people just wantonly ridicule and gloat.
"I don't know if this is love? But this old man has been a prostitute since he was a teenager. There are countless sexy news in Taiwan!"
"What are you trying to do? Because he is older and knows how to Painful? Or is it an Electra plot? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"It's a pity that Nightshade has such a bad look. You can choose Hu Ge!"
"Tsk. "Tsk, tsk, when you are like a wolf and a tiger, but he is already in his twilight years, what can you do?"
"I heard that my ex-wife was dissatisfied with that aspect, and Hongxing got divorced. …”
"I hope it's just about falling in love. An old couple and a young couple? Something will happen sooner or later."
......
Cai Yinong slapped the desk hard, and he didn't know it hurt. Still excited, his body was trembling slightly, and even the expression on his face was a little ferocious.
She finally managed to get a pretty girl, but just because of a few TV series, she took it seriously and got into it?
"I have repeatedly warned her that she can talk about her relationship, and the company will not care about it, but it cannot be announced. Is she taking my words and turning a deaf ear?" Cai Yinong roared.
The secretary was also trembling. Liu Shishi not only did not say hello to the company at all, but even her mobile phone was busy at the moment and could not be contacted.
"So, Mr. Cai, what should we do now? The company's phone calls are almost being bombarded by the media..."
Hearing the secretary's words, Cai Yinong suppressed his anger and began to think. .
The current plan is to follow the current and change the "development" route originally planned for Liu Shishi, to speculate on romance and add characters!
"Respond positively to the media: support and bless them, indicating that this is the artist's private matter, the company will not interfere, do not interfere, and cannot say more. In addition, let her come back to see me as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Cai. I'll go now."
......
The Mainland Film Market in November can be said to be a stage prepared for Hollywood movies.
There are seven imported films, one released every three or four days. As you can imagine, it will definitely be a scuffle.
All domestic films will be cannon fodder and victims of the conflicts between these seven imported Hollywood films.
But this situation is simply unavoidable. In order to ensure smooth progress in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls, we have no choice but to abandon the car and save the handsome.
Lin Nan accompanied Liu Yifei to watch the 3D animated movie "Hotel Transylvania", a comedy with a vampire as the protagonist, which was very good.
"At the end of this month, "Frozen" will be released in North America."
On the return trip, Liu Yifei sat in the passenger seat and talked about the animated film she dubbed, Feel good.
“Good news for you. Although the specific release time of this film in China has not yet been determined, Disney people are already negotiating with China Film Group for the schedule, and it will most likely be during the Spring Festival.”< br>
Lin Nan drove the car, glanced at Liu Yifei beside him, and said softly.
“How do you know?”
“I went to China Film Festival that day. When I was leaving, La Dong mentioned it to me.”
Hearing Lin Nan’s words , the smile on Liu Yifei's face instantly became brighter. She believed that Lin Nan's judgment would not be wrong.
"Doesn't that mean it's only been two months? Well, when the time comes, I want to book the venue, and you come with me."
"Okay, no problem." Lin Nan smiled and responded warmly.
…………
For Lin Nan, there are only two important things this month.
One is Zhu Yawen's wedding, the other is to go to the Golden Horse to be an award guest, and then fly directly to Hollywood.
In the movie information, there is already news about "The Invisible Guest".
"The foreign language film "The Invisible Guest" directed by Director Lin Nan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, and Jessica Chastain will be released in the North American market on the 1st of next month."
"Director Lin Nan will compete for this year's Academy Awards with this film."
Looking at the film approval documents sent to the company, Yue Jun smacked his lips.
“The efficiency of this Lao Dong is so high, it’s only one day!”
Lin Nan didn’t know what to say.
This was obviously something La Peikang had specially warned. Otherwise, even if China Film’s efficiency is higher than that of state-owned enterprises in other industries, it would not be so fast!
"When the movie is released next month, I will talk to Leonardo about approving the film and buying it in China. Let's choose a good time next year."
Lin Nan aside Talking to Yue Jun, while browsing movie information.
"Shendu Dragon King" is still 4 days away from release, but its box office has been successfully and low-key "brushed" by Huayi over 600 million, and the final total box office revenue was 600.5 million .
The daily box office the day before was "stable" at 1.36 million. However, after the figure reached 600 million the next day, it was no longer installed, and only a few thousand yuan was left in an instant.
At this point, Xu Ke broke his personal box office record and was promoted to director of the 600 million box office club.
And Yang Ying’s blowout promotional press release also includes a resume of a 600 million box office movie, as if she is the heroine? !
However, Huayi made the most money. The box office of "The Dragon King of God" alone made them a net profit of more than 100 million.
In response to the news that the box office exceeded 600 million, the stock price reached the highest point since the listing of Huayi during the lock-up period.
After Yue Jun left the office, Lin Nan made a phone call and went out.
"Director Lin?"
"How many Huayi shares do I have now?"
"Wait a moment, let me take a look."
There was a crackle on the other end of the phone. After the sound of the keyboard, he replied:
"Director Lin, after many increases since the listing in 2009, you now have 13.66 million shares. Do you want to trade?"
Hearing this number, Lin Nan reacted for several seconds before coming back to his senses, "There is no need to trade at the moment, I just want to ask."
"Okay, then I won't disturb Director Lin's work. I need you to call me at any time.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that this year is coming to an end, Lin Nan wants to know whether the dividends from Huayi’s annual meeting will be in cash. ? Or will we allocate more shares again?
“The last time, and then we can take action one after another.”
…………
There are also only four days left before Zhu Yawen’s wedding.
Lin Nan was forced to try on one suit after another like a model, but Liu Yifei always shook her head with a smile.
"We're almost done, can we stop the trouble?"
After trying on more than a dozen suits in a row, Lin Nan finally couldn't help it anymore and said with a bitter look on his face.
Men are no better than women, and Lin Nan doesn't have the mentality they have to tirelessly try on clothes.
Besides, he also doesn’t trust Liu Yifei’s vision... Of course, you can’t say this openly, or you will get beaten.
"Then, the black one just now? It shows your temperament better." Liu Yifei nodded with a smile and decided not to trouble Lin Nan.
But Lin Nan was hesitant and looked at the smiling store manager, "Really?"
"Of course, Yifei has a very good taste. This suit suits Director Lin very well."
"Okay, this is it. Since it was your choice, will you pay the bill?" Lin Nan looked at it He looked at Liu Yifei and asked.
"I'll pay, just swipe your card."
Miss Liu raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan and followed the store manager to the front.
“The sincere benefit is sixteen thousand eighty, here is the receipt and your card.”
Liu Yifei took the delicate bag, bills and other things and looked at Lin Nan, who was sitting on the sofa and resting.
“It’s done, let’s go.”
Not long after the two left, corresponding news appeared on the Internet.
"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were shopping for suits, suspected to be preparing for Zhu Yawen's wedding."
"Liu Yifei drove a red Ferrari and paid with a credit card domineeringly..."
As soon as this news came out, the circle was even more lively than the Internet.
“Alas, when you are the best man, you have to bring your own dry food, so Director Lin is so generous!”
“Yifei looks so cool when swiping her credit card. My sister can warm the bed, please support her!”
>
"Lao Zhu Duan is not a son of a man and must be reimbursed!"
"Hey, Luo Jin also has an opinion, haha..."
.........
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were originally going to go home directly, but within ten minutes of driving, Yue Jun's call came.
"Sissi, go to the company."
"Oh, okay."
Liu Yifei didn't ask any questions and directly changed her route to Lin Nan Pictures.
It took exactly one week from the first time Hou Hongliang came to Lin Nan Pictures to the time Noon Sunshine made a clear decision.
Yue Jun said on the phone that not only Hou Hongliang was here this time, but also Kong Shu.
Considering that the other two people came all the way from Hengdian, Lin Nan was embarrassed to keep them waiting.
The car stopped downstairs, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the company.
"Director Lin, it's still on the third floor. Director Yue is waiting for us." The front desk said immediately.
"Yeah." Lin Nan nodded.
On the way to the company, Liu Yifei had already heard Lin Nan talk about "Nirvana in Fire". Thinking about it, the joint production should be decided today.
In the reception room on the third floor, Yue Jun, Hou Hongliang and Kong Shu were chatting and laughing.
As the knock on the door rang, the three of them subconsciously looked at the door and saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei coming in with smiles on their faces.
"Director Lin, Yifei."
"Director Lin Nan, Producer Liu."
......
"Producer Hou, Director Kong, welcome you two to Lin Nan Pictures."
Lin Nan He went up to them, shook hands with the two of them, and Liu Yifei also said hello.
Everyone got straight to the point, no polite words.
"Director Lin, we are here to express our attitude this time. We are co-producing "Nirvana in Fire" and the sun is shining at noon. I will be responsible for the production and Director Kong Shu will direct it personally..."
Hou Hongliang He and Kong Shuo exchanged words with each other and began to talk about the production plan for "Nirvana in Fire", including casting, costume props, and overhead background setting in a period similar to the Southern and Northern Dynasties...
The two talked It's very detailed, and it's obviously been thought about a long time ago, but unfortunately the copyright belongs to Lin Nan.
……
“The investment ratio between Lin Nan Pictures and Noon Sunshine is divided equally between 50 and 50, and we are responsible for the entire production process.
According to Director Yue, after the revenue from the TV station and the online broadcast is divided, Lin Nan Pictures will buy back half of the copyright in our hands, and the future revenue will have nothing to do with Noon Sunshine..."
"I have one more request. "Lin Nan suddenly said.
Hou Hongliang and Kong Shu subconsciously looked at Lin Nan, and even Liu Yifei and Yue Jun were a little curious.
"Director Lin, please speak. "
"I want to go through the final casting list. "Lin Nan said it eloquently.
Hou Hongliang and Kong Shu understood what this sentence meant. It meant that Lin Nan wanted to interfere in the casting.
For the two people who came from state-owned enterprises, "interference in casting" is a sensitive topic.
But considering that Lin Nan is a great director, he probably won't "put in" some actors who are messy, inappropriate and have no acting skills.
After the two people looked at each other, they nodded: "Yes, we will start casting soon. If Director Lin has suitable actors, you can also tell us."
"Of course." Lin Nan nodded.
At this time, Kong Shu looked at Liu Yifei and said with a smile;
"It is a pity for the audience that Yifei will no longer act in TV series. Her costume appearance is very stunning. But after all, the status of a movie actor is higher than TV drama actors are much better.”
“Thank you, Director Kong, for the compliment,” Ms. Liu said with a smile.
After nearly an hour of greetings, Hou Hongliang and Kong Shu complained a lot about the high salaries of TV drama actors nowadays.
Lin Nan and the three of them chatted incessantly. This problem has indeed become an obvious cancer in the TV drama industry.
But Lin Nan knew that this time was just the beginning.
They agreed to sign the contract two days later. They left in a hurry and returned to Hengdian without even eating.
…………
Two days passed in a hurry.
Yue Jun is responsible for signing the contract with Noon Sunshine. In the second half of the year, the project will be announced and casting will begin.
Lin Nan, on the other hand, was also quite depressed.
Obviously Zhu Yawen is getting married, why does he have so many things to do?
"What? We are obviously getting married the day after tomorrow, why do I have to go to your place tomorrow?"
"You are the best man, and you have to get up and work with me at three or four in the morning the day after tomorrow. , If you don’t come to the hotel tomorrow, when will you come? The same goes for Luo Jin!”
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yawen said confidently. Lin Nan's expression paused, okay, he didn't turn around.
The voice of the cell phone was on, and even Liu Yifei, who was petting her cat next to Lin Nan, couldn't help laughing.
"Liu Yifei over there, don't laugh either. Remember to set your alarm clock the day after tomorrow, go to the hotel early, and call Shu Chang, you two will always be late..."
Listen to the phone Zhu Yawen's teasing voice caused the smile on Liu Yifei's face to disappear instantly.
She angrily snatched the phone from Lin Nan's hand and shouted at Zhu Yawen on the other end:
"I tell you, your money is gone!"
