Chapter 591 Release, Engagement Plan
“You come back alone!
What are you doing when you come back alone?
Why do you have the nerve to come back alone?
You are alone, you don’t have to come back!
Get out of here quickly.
……”
At the door of his home, Lin Nan held the suitcase with his right hand and his left hand shrank in the pocket of his down jacket, shivering in the cold wind of several degrees below zero.
In this way, he still had to try to keep a smile and accept the "cynicism" of the old Lintou, not to mention the "torture" in his heart.
"How about we go in first? It's freezing outside. ”
Lin Nan said with a playful smile.
“It’s okay if you freeze to death...”
Although he was still cursing, Old Lintou had already moved away.
He looked at Lin Nan with an "angry" look, and let her carry the box across the threshold and walk towards the backyard.
The pile of exquisite and eye-catching gift boxes in the corner made Lin Nan a little confused at first glance, but he soon realized it.
"It's a mess. I give it away every year, and there are more and more people.
In addition to talking about the film studio, the company, and the actors in which studio, I don't say more than a few words, just put it down and leave. Really awesome Doesn't it affect you?"
Lin Nan put away the suitcase and shook his head at Lao Lin; "As long as it's not too expensive, it's not a big deal if you just keep it."
< br>"Well, as long as it doesn't affect you. You, look at what you want to eat for lunch, I will sort it out for you later..."
Lao Lintou was relieved, hunched over, and looked up at his son , asked naggingly.
By this time, Lin Nan's nose was inexplicably feeling a little sore.
No matter how you fight him at the first time, you will eventually become worried about him and worry about what he is going to eat...
Everything is always so natural, and it should be taken for granted for decades. .
…………
New Year’s Eve is approaching, the entertainment industry is becoming more and more lively, and there are also a lot of big news in the industry.
Even though Lin Nan was in his hometown, he saw Xiaoma's "Letter to the Film and Television Industry" posted on the official website and Weibo.
CCB Culture did not make a desperate move and temporarily gave up on allowing Xiao Ma to fulfill its obligation to repurchase shares at a premium after the bet failed.
The other major shareholders rarely added insult to injury.
Big Dog Brother's widow officially took over the position of chairman of Pony Media, and also served as the general manager of Pony Pictures left after Zhong Lifang resigned.
In this announcement, it is clearly stated: Xiaoma will continue to move forward and operate normally. All film and television businesses will not be affected in any way and will operate as usual.
Not only that, Xiao Ma also liked all the top film and television companies in the industry on Weibo and sent New Year blessings.
I hope we can help each other and cooperate more in the future.
To be honest, Galloping Horse is still working hard to maintain its image and posture as a "top film and television company" in the industry.
But its final act of "showing goodwill" to other companies was inferior.
Even if you have no muscles to show off on the "battlefield", you cannot take the initiative to show your kindness. This will only show that the leadership is "weak and can be bullied" and "has no confidence."
In addition, whether Xiao Ma admits it or not, in the eyes of other big companies in the film and television industry, and in the eyes of the industry's upper echelons, it is now a second-rate company.
The film and television companies of Xiaoma and Aite are no longer on the same level and level.
In the future, there is a high probability that no top company in the industry will really bother with Xiao Ma.
To fall behind is to fall behind, and the possibility of catching up again is slim to zero.
……
Lin Nan was lamenting that the paparazzi are really powerful.
The news of his return to his hometown spread like wildfire after only one day.
Starting from taking photos when leaving the airport, I actually followed him all the way.
Even the ten minutes when he was "criticized" by Lao Lintou at the gate were filmed from a distance, and the short video has become a hot spot on the Internet.
Many acquaintances in the circle joked on Weibo:
"Look, this is what you get when you go back to your hometown alone, without Yifei, and let the cold wind blow for ten minutes before talking!"
"We great directors also have times when they are submissive, flattering with a smile, and do what they say. Tsk tsk, it’s really bloodline suppression, the old man is awesome!”
“Yifei, where are you? Your family Lin Nan needs support...”
“Fortunately, I won’t go home this year. Sympathize with Director Lin.”
……
After making a video call with Liu Yifei in the morning, Lin Nan didn't take much time to relax, and there were many guests.
In addition to Xiying and some film and television companies, there are also several people in the industry who want to treat him to dinner, such as Yan Ni.
It was impossible to go, so Lin Nan could only decline politely, saying that we would meet again when we had the opportunity to return to the capital after the Spring Festival.
He had to follow Lao Lintou to worship his ancestors, go in a hurry, and return in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Yue Jun's phone came over.
“According to the news from the theater chain, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will have the first film schedule tomorrow, with a minimum film schedule of 43%, and Wanda will arrange it to 53%.
Followed by 30% of "Havoc in Heaven" and 15% of "Macau". "
" In other words, these three movies basically share 90% of tomorrow's film market. "
"Yes, especially for us, on average, it may be close to half."
Lin Nan had nothing to say. The first day's film schedule represented how optimistic the theaters and the market were about the film before it was released.
As for the subsequent film scheduling rate, whether it will fluctuate significantly depends on the box office performance and reputation on the first day.
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
"As you said, I have to be worthy of my annual salary and dividends, haha..."
...< br>
Lin Nan hasn't watched the Spring Festival Gala for several years because it's getting more and more boring.
However, Lao Lin’s head never falls every year. This is also a habit he has maintained for many years.
Especially this year, it was rare for Lin Nan to watch the Spring Festival Gala with him.
But in Lin Nan’s eyes, where is this Spring Festival Gala?
This is simply a "reporting performance" by Huayi artists, another "Huayi Annual Meeting".
Although many people in the circle, including Lin Nan, were mentally prepared.
But when the Spring Festival Gala really started, he realized that his previous mental preparation was still insufficient!
Huayi can be said to have crammed in all the celebrities and connections he can handle.
Those artists and celebrities who did not attend the Spring Festival Gala were not unable to attend, but due to schedule conflicts. "Do you recognize all these people?"
Suddenly, Lao Lintou pointed to the sketch in the TV series "Should I Help" and asked Lin Nan.
“Yes, we know each other.”
Lin Nan nodded and said. Even if you don't know him, you must know him.
“In the past two years, I can only watch the sketches of these two people, but they are not as good as before.
Chen Peisi acted so well in the past, why didn’t he act in it? Even Zhao Benshan and the others are gone..."
Lin Nan smiled and said perfunctorily: "Maybe it's because I'm getting older and can't act anymore."
He wouldn't say that the former was banned, nor would he say that the latter people were banned from the Spring Festival Gala. Forced to retreat by "elimination" and "intervention in creation".
Lin Nan took a look at Shen Teng and Ma Li on the TV series, and it was indeed possible.
It has been years since Lin Nan patiently watched the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, but it was worth it.
“Oh, this little girl is amazing! She kept spinning for 4 hours...”
Amid Lao Lintou's admiration, Lin Nan turned off the TV and prepared to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, just as the sky was getting bright, Lin Nan was awakened by the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Old Lintou was also knocking on his door, "Hurry up, the dumplings will be cooked for you."
"Right away."
Lin Nan three times five divided by two Done, walk out of the room and start washing.
The hot dumplings are already on the table, with the Kitchen God, the God of Wealth, etc. in front of them.
Old Lintou and Lin Nan sat down face to face.
"Go back to the capital this afternoon."
"Huh? Why?"
Lin Nan hurriedly swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and looked at Lao Lin Head, a little confused.
"Isn't the movie you made released today? Go back and watch it, and spend more time with Sissy. Starting tomorrow, I will also go to visit relatives."
Old Lintou said very decisively, not for discussion , but ordered, and added: "You have stayed in the house for four days this time, which is enough."
Lin Nan did not speak, but nodded silently, "I know."< br>
The two of them were having breakfast like this, very quiet and harmonious, as if they had returned to many years ago.
The media and online news have begun to flood the screen, except for yesterday’s Spring Festival Gala, today’s movie.
"Feng Xiaogang is suspected of using his power for personal gain. He is a guest performer in the Spring Festival Gala, and he has added actors and actresses from the Huayi family..."
"Xiao Caiqi, an actor signed by Tang Dynasty, became famous in one battle, and the Spring Festival Gala lasted for 4 hours."
...
"Spring Festival, the smoke is everywhere.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "Macau Storm", "The Predecessor"... several movies Domestic movies will be released simultaneously today, and the fight will begin.”
"According to the theater company, the average scheduling rate of "Taking Tiger Mountain" today is as high as 46%, the highest among many movies!"
SMS messages and messages were sent to Lin Nan's mobile phone. Happy New Year.
And he was talking on the phone with Liu Yifei, joking:
"The old man asked me to leave in the afternoon and come back to accompany you, as if I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will run away."
"Hahaha, then you have to hurry up, I'm running very fast."
Liu Yifei's laughter was lazily, "Turn on the voiceover."
Lin Nan understood instantly and ran to Lao Lin's head with his mobile phone. In his doubtful eyes, he raised his mobile phone: "Uncle , I am Sissi..."
Oh, how should I say it? Lin Nan was speechless.
This is the fifth day since he came back, and this is the first time he has seen so many wrinkles on Lao Lintou’s face!
About ten minutes later, Old Lintou threw the phone to Lin Nan with a smile, and then changed his face:
"Have you booked your flight tickets? Go back this afternoon, what a winking thing..."
Uh... This falling out is faster than flipping through a book! Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival is the focus of the entire film industry.
Especially this year, Lin Nan has entered the Spring Festival period for the first time, and it is an unprecedented commercial film with the main theme. The industry is even more looking forward to the box office data.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Lintou originally offered to drive Lin Nan to the airport in his jeep, but he refused.
Still at the gate, it was minus three degrees and the wind was biting.
"Take good care of yourself when you go back."
Old Lintou opened his mouth, as if he still had a lot to say, but he held it back.
Lin Nan knew what he was going to say. After putting his luggage in the trunk of the taxi, he walked up to him.
"Dad, I plan to get engaged this year."
The sudden words made Old Lintou a little confused, followed by a grin, and then asked:
"What did you say? Say it again."
"I said, I I plan to get engaged this year. Well, in the second half of the year."
"Haha, okay. Good in the second half of the year. You idiot, let's go back quickly..." br>
Old Lintou smiled and hurried Lin Nan into the car, feeling as if he could not wait for him to return to the capital, as if the daughter-in-law he had chosen would really run away.
"You also go inside, it's quite cold outside. This store will open half a month later, so rest more."
Lin Nan sat in the back seat and warned through the car window.
"You still care about me, so hurry up and leave." Old Lintou said angrily.
“Master, let’s go.”
Lin Nan waved to Lao Lintou and said to the driver.
Watching the taxi gradually go away, a happy smile appeared on Lao Lintou's face.
Although his figure became more and more stooped, at this moment, his energy was as good as ever.
"This guy finally thought of business, what a good girl. Haha, hahaha..."
Old Lintou couldn't help but laugh, and the louder he laughed, he couldn't stop it. . Pedestrians walking on the street couldn't help but look at him.
