Chapter 720 Birthday gift, it’s poisonous...
Since the early morning, the film and television and entertainment circles have not stopped, and the Internet is in an uproar and is extremely lively.
On the morning of the first day of December, when the sky was just getting dark.
The information related to Shu Chang’s birthday has already topped the entertainment headlines of major portal websites and the top of the hot search list on Weibo.
The reason is not that actors and stars in the industry left messages to send blessings.
It's because the "appalling" "birthday gift" Liu Yifei wants to give to Shu Chang is simply extravagant to the extreme!
When the morning sun rose, Director Lin had just woken up.
In my arms is a fragrant fairy, and the touch is warm, soft, smooth and delicate.
The long hair is spread freely between the pillows, and the faint fragrance decorates Liu Yifei's delicate and pink face. The long eyelashes dance from time to time, which is very beautiful.
“It’s time to go to bed, and you’re still provocative. Are you out of energy now? I’m so lazy, but I slept soundly, haha...”
Lin Nan smiled and whispered softly, and then got up carefully. Then he leaned over and covered her with the quilt, covering up her fair skin.
Half a minute after he left the room, a soft, waxy nasal voice came from the bed, which was a little bit arrogant: "Humph, I will provoke you..."
...
After arriving at the company, Lin Nan remembered to read the news on the Internet. As expected, the circle really exploded!
"Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have known each other for 12 years and are deeply in love as best friends. The most special birthday gift - the movie heroine."
"The name of the movie is unknown, the name of the script is unknown, the director is unknown, the screenwriter is unknown, the team is unknown, the project has not been approved...but the heroine has been decided!"
In addition to the media, insiders and netizens are also discussing In full swing. There are countless people who are amazed, envious, and joking.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone give a birthday gift like this! A movie heroine? Producer Liu is so domineering!”
“To be honest, I’m envious, and I also need a good bestie.
Yifei, the relationship between my sister and you is still far from perfect, please give me an accurate answer and I will try my best!”
"I'm also upset. We have been best friends for more than ten years. Director Lin should really learn from their producer Liu."
"Lao Zhu, you should have some respect. It's like " Isn’t the male lead in "Love Is Not Blind" like you?"
"But you didn’t receive a birthday gift? Lao Luo, what is your purpose in backstabbing me?"
"I opened the calendar and looked at it. Well, my birthday is not far away. But where is my best friend or best friend?"
"Since Producer Liu is giving a 'movie heroine' a birthday As a gift, you must have a ready-made script or movie project.
It will definitely not be an empty promise that takes time to be fulfilled! Isn’t this the answer? ”
One sentence has awakened many people in the industry.
Yes, everyone remembers that Lin Nan Pictures just submitted a movie script for review at the beginning of last month. The young actors are all thinking about it.
And in other words, what movie can she, Liu Yifei, give away?
No! It belongs to Lin Nan Pictures, right? ?
This is the established boss's wife, the wife of a great director!
......
"It's great to have a good bestie. "Painted Skin" and "Genius Gunslinger" were directed by Director Lin himself, and he also helped her win the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress.
The heroine of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" was also given to her... This time Liu Yifei gave her the heroine of another movie as a birthday gift.
To put it bluntly, She has easier access to Lin Nan Pictures' top resources than any other artist in Shanhai Media! I just don't know who is directing this movie. Is it Director Lin? Or Director Guo? He just finished one. The play didn't last long, Teacher Xue..."
Yang Mi looked at the news with some unspeakable envy.
Although "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" is a popular IP, the four words "Lin Nan Pictures" are even more big IP.
So far, there are no small directors in the movies produced by Lin Nan Pictures.
Zeng Jia was also a little emotional. She had previously swore to belittle Tang Yan, saying that few mainland actresses of the same age could compare to Yang Mi.
But the Shu Chang in front of her was really among the few people she eliminated. An actress who can call Lin Nan "brother" in public is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
"Teacher Xue?"
Yang Mi suddenly muttered. She always remembered Xue Xiaolu saying that if "Love in Seattle" does well at the box office, it will be made into a series.
It has been almost three years since this movie was shot, and it will be almost two years since it was released. It should be about the same time, right? After all, it’s not good for the series to be too long apart!
Nowadays, many actresses of the same age have toothaches because of acidity.
Even Huang Xiaoming was being thought about early in the morning, but his network resources are really incomparable to Lin Nan.
Moreover, the Huayi family has a huge business, so it is impossible to give all the good resources to Yang Ying!
......
Didn't pay too much attention to the inquiries and ridicules from insiders, Lin Nan was seizing the time to deal with the work.
The Lunar New Year festival also means that the year is coming to an end.
The company has many documents, statements, receipts, tax declarations and other information that require his signature.
After finishing the work in the morning, I went back at noon to prepare for a dinner party on the lawn of the villa.
"Director Lin, auditions have started over at Noon Sunshine. Producer Hou Hongliang called and asked, do we want to send someone over there with us?"
"Inform Director Jiang and see what she means. . ”
Lin Nan said without raising his head, there are quite a lot of taxes to be paid this year.
"Director Lin and Director Jiang have been attending the industry conference above on behalf of the company these two days, so they are not here."
Lin Nan then remembered that it seemed that the format of TV drama broadcasting had been reformed again, and "one drama, two stars" would be implemented on New Year's Day.
In the future, TV dramas will only be broadcast on two TV stations at most during prime time.
It is said that it is to balance the composition of satellite TV programs and force film and television companies to improve the production quality and competitiveness of TV series.
But in Lin Nan’s view, the original intention of “one drama with two stars” was too ideal.
A TV series can only be broadcast on two TV stations during prime time, which means that the number of buyers will drop sharply.
If the film producers want to recoup their costs and make money, they have to quote a higher selling price for a single episode, or even double or quadruple it. But when TV stations buy dramas, they must also be thinking about trying to lower the price!
The above means that if the film production is better, the TV station will naturally be willing to bid.
But from the standpoint of the film studio, especially in the Internet era, the more reliable and simpler way to sell TV series well is not to make great efforts to improve the shooting quality, nor to optimize the script and find good actors. .
It’s about filming whatever the audience likes, and using whichever actors have traffic. It’s best to add big IPs. This is a simple and profitable way! Because the TV series produced have their own traffic and topics!
However, this is another endless loop!
Inertia will cause the film studio to deviate from the original intention of "one drama with two stars", and production funds will be seriously tilted towards "publicity".
"Actors" with traffic will become popular and become more and more expensive... again pushing up the salary of the entire industry...
Finally, the production costs of TV series will continue to increase until "actors" "The remuneration accounts for a huge amount and becomes the "master" of the crew, which ultimately leads to less and less funds being spent on filming and production... we can only produce shoddy products and rely on publicity...
You need to know "data" and "traffic" "But it can be faked.
When the entire industry is overwhelmed by "traffic", will a "hit drama" be a hit? Then only ghosts really know!
Anyway, it is definitely difficult for the audience to know whether it is true or false, and they can only follow the "promotional information" on the Internet!
This is a major trend that cannot be stopped.
But there are definitely companies and people who are serious about filming, but they are relatively few.
"Reply to Noon Sunshine. We won't send anyone there. Just send us the preliminary list before setting the angle." Lin Nan ordered.
“Okay, Director Lin.”
…………
There is less than one day left before the release of "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)".
This movie and "The Year in a Hurry" released on the 5th, are the most competitive domestic films in the film market in the first half of the month, full of gimmicks.
As for the TV series, it is no less impressive.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which premiered on the 3rd, has been complained and ridiculed by netizens, occupying a place on the Internet in a black and red way.
As for Fan Bingbing's TV series "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" with a female lead in late 2019, it is really the focus of attention and a big hit on the Internet.
Because the stills and trailer are really eye-catching, there are so many balls, big and round!
Lin Nan heard from Wang Wei that Dodou had bought the exclusive webcast copyright of "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", which was not cheap.
At 12:30 noon, Director Lin drove back.
He found that the yard was already busy. There were huge blankets on the lawn, and there were many simple dining tables and grills beside it.
Food delivery people in many restaurants are arranging dishes, including cooked food, raw food, snacks, etc. There are many categories, and the cakes customized by Liu Yifei are already in place.
But after a quick glance, I didn’t see Miss Liu or Shu Chang at all.
Seeing the great director Lin Nan, the person in charge of the restaurant immediately said hello, "Director Lin."
"Sorry to trouble you all."
"You're welcome. , this is our job.”
Lin Nan walked into the villa and vaguely heard voices coming from the direction of the wine room on the first floor.
"These boxes are from Brother Xiao Ming... The bottles over there were brought by Huo Wenxi last time and were given by Yang Shoucheng... I bought them over there..."
" ...Don't touch that bottle of champagne, it was brought by Matt last month... How about opening this bottle today?"
"I think that bottle is good, it must be very expensive if it is placed so high. !”
Only five or six meters away from the door, Lin Nan heard Shu Chang’s voice, good guy, are you here to rob?
"With so much red wine in your house, more than half of it is given by others?" Zhu Yawen clicked her tongue.
"You talk a lot. If you're not convinced, you can ask them to give it to you, haha." Luo Jin laughed directly.
"Just this bottle, it was given by Leon at the beginning of last year. It seems to have been produced in 2004."
Standing at the door, Lin Nan happened to see Liu Yifei spending money!
But the person he greeted was another unexpected face: "Oh, rare visitor, Tangtang."
Only then did a group of people notice Lin Nan. Tang Yan smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Director Lin, are you not rude?"
"Not rude, not rude, Luo Jin... ah no, Lao Zhu, you Why didn’t you bring your wife?”
“She’s on the set.”
How could a group of people not see that Lin Nan was teasing Luo Jin? Everyone just laughed and said nothing.
"Hurry out and get ready."
Liu Yifei walked out first and handed Lin Nan the red wine. She wanted to go upstairs to the study.
The weather is rare and sunny and not cold. Several people were sitting on the lawn, surrounded by delicious food.
Shu Chang is the birthday boy today. After blowing out the candles and cutting the cake, he looked impatiently towards the entrance of the villa.
"Why don't you come out? Sissi is hanging on me on purpose...Brother, is it the script your company sent for review?"
"I don't know."
Lin Nan and Luo Jin clinked glasses and ignored Shu Chang, telling her to hurry up first.
In less than two minutes, Liu Yifei walked out slowly, as if taking a walk, with a playful smile on her face.
"Sissi, hurry up, you're going to kill me."
Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Tang Yan all looked over, Director Lin was a little bit I can't laugh or cry.
No wonder it took so long and I found a box to put it in!
"Here, it's for you. Don't say I'm not generous, I thought of you immediately."
Liu Yifei raised her beautiful chin slightly, looking too arrogant.
“Yeah, I’ll open it now.”
The three people on the side came over and saw that inside the opened gift box was a script!
""Go away! Mr. Tumor"!" "Sour."
“I admire it.”
Just when Shu Chang nervously put it away, preparing to go back and look at it for himself.
Liu Yifei suddenly spoke, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Well, Changchang, this is the movie. The content is similar to the name, the heroine is terminally ill.
As for, ahem, as for whether director Guo Fan will ask you to shave your head when filming, I can't decide. You have to be mentally prepared in advance. "
As Liu Yifei's words fell, the scene fell into dead silence.
Two or three seconds later, several people all burst out laughing:
"Haha, I'm laughing so hard.
Good news: the birthday gift is the heroine of a movie! Bad news: the heroine has to shave her head! ”
"Changchang, hurry up and eat the cake. You may not be able to keep your long black hair. Let them eat and go!"
Although everyone was teasing Shuchang, Zhu Yawen , Luo Jin's eyes all had a different light, and Tang Yan next to him was also very envious.
“I, I, I risked myself!”
Shu Chang sat there angrily, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't think about it. I have already helped Qianqian decide on the female lead from Guo Ban, so I can't say anything anymore. You can go and give it a try when he auditions."
"Okay, no problem!"
...
A group photo of six people was updated on several people's Weibo.
Shu Chang stood in the middle, surrounded by several people, smiling heartlessly. In the background, there are many delicious food and huge lawns and gardens.
Other people’s Weibo posts were all about wishing Shu Chang a happy birthday, while she had a crying and laughing expression and the following text:
"The birthday gift from Sissi is poisonous..."
...
"Let's end the matter of "Why Shengxiaomo" now, don't tear it up..."
“Okay.”
…………
The time finally came on the 2nd.
The headlines of major media and hot searches for film and television information are all about the "Titanic of the East", followed by other gossips.
"Co-produced by China Film, LeTV, Huayi, Youzu, and Pony, and directed by Wu Yusen, the master of violent aesthetics.
Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, Tong Dawei, Nagasawa Starring Yami and others:
The war epic "Taipei (Part 1)" was officially released today, and the first-day screening rate in domestic theaters was as high as 34%! ”
"Three weeks after its release, the imported science fiction blockbuster "Interstellar" has a total box office of 1.222 billion, and the daily box office has dropped to more than 8 million.
It is reported that the total box office of "Interstellar" in the global film market has exceeded 700 million US dollars, has achieved high profits, and is still growing. "
"Qiong Yao's lawsuit against Yu Zheng will be heard today. The former is claiming 20 million yuan, and Wang Hailin, vice president of the Film and Literature Association, served as Qiong Yao's assistant for plagiarism. Answers to professional questions such as adaptation. "
"Co-produced by Tang Dynasty and Sohu, starring Han Dongjun, Jin Chen, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Yao and others, the Republic of China fantasy TV series "Wuxin Master" officially launched today! "< br>
……
Actors and stars in the film and television industry are all showing off their movie tickets for "The Taiping Wheel - Part 1" and cheering for the movie.
Lin Nan saw this and felt that these people were trying too hard, and they were not so flattering. Don’t consider the consequences of being scolded by the audience at all!
On the desk, the mobile phone buzzed and vibrated. Lin Nan glanced at the caller ID and answered the call immediately.
“Hello.”
“Director Lin, what time do you think is more suitable for us to come over and measure clothes?”
"These two days are fine. I will send you the specific address later. Just give me a call before coming over."
The other person on the phone paused: "Director Lin, let's do it tomorrow. I Bring someone here in person.
You can rest assured that we are a time-honored brand with old craftsmanship. We are well-known in places like Beijing Film Studio and Xiying Film Studio for our standard. , but few people can do the full set now. There are too many castrated versions out there, which makes people laugh..."
Listening to the phone, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. This old master is quite talkative, maybe It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anyone asking for a full set.
Although Fengguanxiapei is dignified and beautiful, it is quite cumbersome to wear, and the complete set is a bit heavy for ordinary girls! Therefore, the most widely circulated ones on the market now, although they are also very beautiful, are all "castrated" and "beggar's versions".
But for Liu Yifei, these are not problems, after all, Miss Liu is a martial arts practitioner!
"Well, of course I believe you. My teacher introduced you here."
"That's good, that's good. Did Director Tian tell you... "
"Just do it here, it's not a problem. We'll talk about it in detail tomorrow."
"Okay, then I won't disturb Director Lin."
"Goodbye."
Lin Nan was not angry at all when the other party hesitated to ask about money on the phone.
Because it will take a long time to complete the whole set by hand, and it will require dozens of manpower.
The best materials are used, and Lin Nan requires rush work, so the cost must be more than eight figures.
The approximate amount will not be determined until tomorrow.
All we can say is that when it comes to real luxury goods, Chinese luxury goods are ancestral!
…………
“We cannot let outside reports get ahead of us. After confirming that he has completed the reduction, we will make an announcement ourselves.
Before the listing, Borrowing his name as the Golden Lion director is indeed very useful, but now we have to prepare for a complete clearance and not let his departure have too much impact on us."
Hua Yi, Chairman's office. Wang Zhongjun thought over and over again and ordered.
"The people below reported that more than 1.5 million shares have been sold there. I guess it will be around 2 million this time?" Wang Zhonglei guessed.
Actually, the two brothers also occasionally do cashing out, but they always cash out at high positions and buy at low prices, unlike Lin Nan who rushes to clear positions and leave the market!
“If he is willing to lower the price, we can buy the stocks in his hands at once.”
“Then he may not agree. Judging from his frequency of cashing out, it is not a lack of money at all. "Wang Zhonglei dismissed Wang Zhongjun's idea.
Large equity transactions must not be based on stock market prices. Lin Nan will never agree to a one-time price reduction transfer.
"Okay, just keep an eye on it and do as I say."
"Okay."
......
Sometimes, it's such a coincidence.
Liu Yifei said on the Internet that she would give the heroine of a movie to Shu Chang as a birthday gift. People in the industry were speculating and discussing, is it the one from Lin Nan Pictures? The Houji Film Bureau has issued an announcement!
The media, all with dog noses and keen senses of smell, reported it immediately. The film and television industry suddenly became even more chaotic.
"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau, the December script review results are announced:
Submitted by Lin Nan Pictures, the movie script "Get Out! Tumor King" passed the review, and was approved for filing and project approval. You can receive it Film shooting permission. "
"According to the film bureau's official website, after review of the script summary: "Get Out! Tumor King" is an adaptation of the comic book of the same name. It is a romantic and inspirational comedy about the heroine suffering from cancer. A story about living a life with a smile on your face despite fighting against illness. ”
What a subject! This is the first reaction of many actors in the industry!
A large number of netizens and insiders started advocating on Aite Shu, asking if the birthday gift she received was "Get Out!" "Tumor King"? Do you know who will direct the movie?
Of course Liu Yifei was not spared, and Weibo was also blocked.
The film and television industry is also staring at this "Get Out!" Tumor King". Because the movies of Lin Nan Pictures are top resources for building your resume!
Many media reporters blocked Lin Nan Pictures, but fortunately they did not block Lin Nan.
Yue Jun did not give a clear answer during the interview, but said that when the film is filed and cast, it will naturally be made public. A little sense of mystery is still necessary!
"Hey, I wonder if Director Han is reading movie reviews online at the moment?"
Lin Nan leaned on Liu Yifei's bear pillow and lay lazily.
He couldn't help but murmured as he looked at the movie reviews of "The Wheel (Part 1)", which was "extremely angry" on the Internet and had already exploded in topic volume and popularity.
What a tragedy!
As the director of "Tai Ping Huan", Wu Yusen is accepting abuse, belittling, ridicule and sarcasm from 99% of the audience who have watched the movie! It’s almost comparable to cyber violence.
"Mountains and rivers are broken into caricatures, and the ups and downs of life are like Qiong Yao! "The Taiping Wheel" is indeed a 'shit corpse masterpiece'!"
"The fragmentation of family and country and the ups and downs of personal life, what a good and simple subject, the film It’s not an epic, but it’s a film about the misfortunes of Gone with the Wind, but the great director Wu Yusen made it a bad movie, with all three emotional lines broken and incomplete, like a mix-up of multiple movies, fragmented and without a theme.”
“If it weren’t for the incredible release of three white doves, reminding us that this is the trademark of director Wu Yusen, I would have been watching a mixed version of a third-rate film with unknown priorities and different themes!”
"Frankly speaking, I was very disappointed and miserable after watching this movie. One sentence spoiler: a low-level romance drama alternated with the game Contra. After two hours of acting, I haven't even gotten on board yet! How can I have the nerve to say it's Touhou? "Titanic"? "
"It has been 6 years since "Red Cliff", and it turns out that director Wu Yusen is still not good at making big-scale, big-budget movies! "
"He talks about making an epic movie, but in his heart, Wu Yusen is still about gunfights and gunfights in the mean streets. He can't handle the grand and thick epic and historical background at all!"
"I won't watch "" again" The second half of "The Wheel", the first half is so bad, don't think about the second half, it is definitely a piece of shit! "
""The Wheel" is said to be a war movie, but in fact it is. A big gun fight movie!"
"Can I get a refund? It's so bad and so expensive!"
"I heard that the investment of more than 400 million and nearly 500 million was completely wasted. Well! ”
"I sincerely suggest everyone, don't buy tickets for "The Taiping Wheel", otherwise you will call yourself a fool! It's too bad!"
......
The main creators are still shouting and promoting it in the morning , but now they are all silent, no one makes a sound.
Because the situation on the Internet is really scary. There are overwhelming curses and negative comments.
"I'm afraid this is a big blow to Director Han! In an interview yesterday, he said that "The Wheel" was the final film of his China Film career."
Liu Yifei, wearing a hip-hugging skirt, sat down next to Lin Nan and said sadly.
"Look, even now, Director Han hasn't called me. What does that mean? It means he saw the large-scale movie reviews on the Internet."
Lin Nan also just reacted Come here, if the movie reviews are good, Han Sanping can't call to show off or slap Lin Nan in the face?
"If it's so bad, don't even think about overseas copyrights. There aren't that many fools! In fact, I quite sympathize with Dong."
"Huh?"
Miss Liu leaned against Lin Nan, a little confused.
"Just think about it, the success of the movie is due to Director Han, and it has nothing to do with Director La. Because this is a film project that was decided to invest in at the end of 2011. Director La can't take the credit if he wants. .
But if the movie sucks and the blood is lost, Director La will have to take the blame. Who made him the current chairman of China Film Group?
As for Director Han, he just didn’t keep the end of the year. It has just become a big joke in the industry, but for a person like him who has a good reputation and a good reputation, this is no different from the immediate execution of the death penalty. It is embarrassing and embarrassing..."
"I think. I think so, this kind of large-scale scolding, costing nearly 500 million, feels like..."
"Don't worry, it's over. This movie is definitely going to go down in film history, but it's going to be used as a negative example."
Just when Lin Nan was about to praise Liu Yifei's hip-hugging skirt, a call came in. .
"Huh? Xiao Ma? What kind of note is this?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.
"It's from Galloping Horse. That day at the premiere of "The Wheel of Fortune (Part 1)", I had a few words with the current chairman of Pony.
I think it was to watch After reading the movie reviews online, I figured it out and gave up the struggle, right?" Lin Nan said thoughtfully.
