Chapter 763 Hongmen Banquet!
Standing in front of the office window, Lin Nan looked down at the several figures downstairs in the company.
After they looked back at Lin Nan Pictures for a few times, they immediately exchanged words.
Several of them seemed to be quite excited, pointing at the building behind them, stamping their feet and pointing, as if they were even quarreling?
After a long time, these people turned around three times and got on the bus tremblingly.
In the blink of an eye, several cars drove away quickly from under the Lin Nan Film Building, as if they would suffer a cardiac arrest and die of suffocation if they walked too slowly.
"Well, luckily not one or two fell down. Otherwise, I would have followed in the footsteps of Director Jiang."
Lin Nan laughed sarcastically with contempt in his tone.
“If they come again, just continue to pipe enough tea and let it dry. Ignoring them is the biggest insult to them. Everyone wants to be shameless, but they also do some shameless things.”
The assistant beside him nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Director Lin."
A few minutes later, Lin Nan, who was sitting alone in the office, couldn't help but mutter about the phone call that La Pai Kang had just made.
“Invite me to China Film for dinner? You didn’t say why you invited me. Could it be that you were celebrating my success and asked about the movie? Gee, why do you have a bad feeling?”
< br>Shaking his head, Lin Nan felt that he might have thought too much.
He opened the webpage casually and looked through today's film and television information.
"Macau 2" and "Heroes" both exceeded 500 million, and the daily box office has continued to advance unabated.
Therefore, in the morning, Jackie Chan also held a special media appreciation meeting in the capital, where he kept bowing at 90 degrees.
I have to say that the movie "Army of Heavenly Generals" is very important to the authorities, and even the News Network reported on it.
The reason is that it is very consistent with the policies and values of One Belt and One Road. This kind of treatment is something that other competitors can only envy but cannot ask for.
Lin Nan saw the information about this year’s art exam in the hot search. Good guy, this is the best in years.
The number of applicants for Nortel has exceeded 25,000 for the first time, an increase of nearly one-third from last year.
The number of art candidates in China Opera, Shanghai Opera, including Beijing Dance Theater and the art academies of major universities in the capital has also increased significantly.
Of course, the three major art academies must have the largest number of applicants and are the first choice for all art candidates. Among them, Nortel is the worst.
This sudden increase in candidates directly illustrates how rapidly the film and television entertainment industry has developed in recent years and how tempting the industry is! Everyone is vying to get in and get a piece of the pie.
When he saw the photo of the huge crowd at Nortel’s main entrance on Weibo, Lin Nan couldn’t help laughing.
Because the banner the school pulled for him was too conspicuous, just under the banner "Welcome all new students to apply for the art exam...".
In addition, there is actually a standing poster of him at the front door. Many art candidates are taking photos, and it has even become a hot search topic, which is quite eye-catching.
“Oh, I’m really embarrassed! Haha...”
…………
On the first day of March, the film market ushered in another commotion , because new news came out about several domestic blockbusters at the same time.
"The science fiction comedy romance film "Mermaid", directed by Zhou Xingchi and jointly produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film and Lin Nan Pictures, officially passed the review of the Film Bureau this morning."
"Directed by Xu Zhanzhang, and jointly produced by Zhenledao, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, the third installment of the "囧" series "Hong Kong囧" successfully passed the review."
"Produced by Shiyue Culture under the banner of Tiangong Colors Production, the animated movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" has been approved for public release..."
Three movies in a row are all related to Lin Nan Pictures.
In addition, Lin Nan Pictures has several films in pre-production, post-production, and preparation for project approval.
Many production companies in the entire film industry are already mentally prepared. This year they may have to fight a tough battle with Lin Nan Pictures. There is no way to avoid it!
There are still heated discussions and speculations on the Internet and in the industry about the release dates of the three movies "Mermaid", "Hong Kong" and "The Return of the Monkey King".
At this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were shopping leisurely outside.
They had just come out of the theater and watched the movie "Big Hero Marines" which was released in China yesterday. This animated movie is very good.
"Brother Xun and the others and I have made an appointment to have a dinner together at home tomorrow."
Liu Yifei told Lin Nan a "surprise" with a smile, expecting a response from him.
"Then you'd better move the dinner party to the afternoon." Lin Nan said a little helplessly.
“Why?”
“Because La Dong invited me to dinner, and the time is tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Miss Liu’s smile disappeared immediately Most of it.
"That's why I asked you to start a little later. Maybe I can come back in time to join in? Well, I'll eat less at China Film Academy!"
Lin Nan made a U-turn. But instead of seeing Liu Yifei's smiling face, she was punched "hardly".
"You did it on purpose, right? You can't say it clearly all at once!"
"Haha, a little bit."
Facing Liu Yifei's pretty eyes, Lin Nan also I didn't deny it, I just wanted to tease her.
“Okay, it’s almost dinner time, let’s find a restaurant? We’ve eaten and drank enough before we can continue shopping in the afternoon. I’ll carry your bag...”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Come on, Changchang just told my family the day before yesterday..."
Women are good at changing their looks, especially those who are foodies. Just like Liu Yifei at this moment, her face was filled with a smile again.
…………
Han Sanping answered the phone while glaring at Han Jianu.
The latter didn't care at all and continued to complain:
"As for that? You've already retired and you still want to shine? That's China Film's task. You're not the chairman anymore, so why are you just joining in the fun..."
"Well, I'll be here on time tomorrow. It’s nothing, the beautiful girl is nagging about other things.”
“Hey, what do you mean by being spoiled?”
Although Han Jianu was dissatisfied, her voice was still much softer. You have to take care of your biological father's face, you can't really let him lose face, right?
A few minutes later, the call was hung up.
"Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you, you are just thinking about my family, right?"
Han Sanping pointed at Han Jianu, his fiery temper reached his lips, and he softened a lot in an instant.
"I think you are just working blindly. You have done much more than Uncle Ren. Others were re-elected and you retired. Now you still have to...extract the surplus value..."
Listen to Han Jia Han Sanping felt a lot relieved when the girl rambled on. It turns out that this "padded jacket" still knows how difficult it is for him!
"Okay. Aren't you clamoring to travel far away to find materials? I approve."
"Really? The Lantern Festival hasn't passed yet!" Han Jianu asked distrustfully.
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you. I will go back to China Film Academy tomorrow morning and won't have dinner at home. Don't let anyone know about this matter."
"Hey, look down on me, I'm that Do you want to grow up?"
After finishing speaking, Han Jianu immediately stood up and went back to the room to pack her things with a smile on her face.
Looking at the back of people going upstairs, Han Sanping muttered: "Residual value? Isn't it just to save favors and connections for you... I want to live well on both sides!"
…………
Huang Xiaoming’s dominating drama “The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiuyuan” only has two days left to premiere.
There are waves of promotional materials on the Internet, which is dizzying.
Including Lin Nan, many people in the industry liked Leader Huang’s promotional Weibo.
Although everyone always complains about the childishness of Ba Zong films, for those who play Ba Zong, it is a real enjoyment!
In addition, the ratings of such film and television works have always been high, which is enough to illustrate the wide audience!
So the competition for the online broadcast rights of this drama was very fierce; Tudou did not get the exclusive rights, but shared it with platforms such as Youku.
Lin Nan was watching Huang Xiaoming interacting with everyone on Weibo while answering Tom's call.
"Lin, "Fifty Shades Darker" will be released in North America tomorrow, and the company and Lionsgate are fully prepared. Its profits will definitely not be worse than "Fifty Shades of Grey". ”
“So, you called me at the party?”
Lin Nan gently caressed Fat Orange in his arms. From time to time, it made lazy meows, which attracted the other two cats in the living room to gather around, wanting to take its place.
"Haha... hiccup..., I am attending Warner's project release reception. They have several big-budget movies set on the project schedule. Let me ask you about it. Maybe there is one suitable for Crystal?"< br>
This reason made Lin Nan unable to refute. "Okay, drink slowly, this is the burp."
"Okay...listen, what are they talking about about "Kong: Skull Island"."
Liu Yifei stepped on slippers and came downstairs. After running and taking a shower, her face was unusually rosy.
"Lin Nan, look at the message from Han Jianu. It's a bit confusing."
Liu Yifei walked up to her, bent down and picked up the little black cat from the carpet, held it in her arms, and then He handed his cell phone to Lin Nan.
After looking at that sentence on the chat interface, Director Lin couldn't help laughing.
I saw just a few dozen words above: "Tell Senior Brother Lin that there will be a Hongmen Banquet tomorrow morning!"
"Good fellow, Hongmen Banquet? Have you prepared a knife and ax hand? Or are you going to throw it down? The cup is the number?" Lin Nan joked with a smile.
In his opinion, the most China Film Group can do is ask for something. Apart from the movie share, there should be nothing else, right? Or...
"Lin Nan, do you want to ask her? You didn't send the message to tease me, right? She is quite carefree and likes to play."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but She complained about Han Ga Nyeo, who has this kind of character.
The thoughts that just flashed through Lin Nan's mind were interrupted by Miss Liu.
"Don't worry about her, it shouldn't be a big deal. I just went to have a meal. Can La Dong tie me up to China Film Academy? You should also prepare something to entertain them tomorrow."
Speaking of this matter, Liu Yifei became energetic.
"I have already called the restaurant in the afternoon, and they will prepare it for me. I also specifically told it to be delivered at one o'clock in the afternoon. You must come back as soon as possible."
" "Yeah, okay."
Lin Nan nodded with a smile, and the figures of the association flashed in his mind.
…………
"Produced by Huayi, starring Andy Lau, Jing Boran, Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenru and others, the anti-trafficking theme film "The Orphan" is scheduled to be released on the 20th of this month..."
"Imported blockbuster "Jupiter" "The Upside", "Cinderella", "Taken 3", and "Kingsman: The Secret Service" will be released in March on the 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th of this month. Many domestic movies are facing huge challenges. ! ”
“According to relevant sources, the second season of the large-scale competitive reality show "Running Man" will be officially started on the 5th of this month, controlled and produced by Lin Nan Film and invested by Enlight. ...The follow-up mode will still be broadcast and recorded at the same time...Blueberry Channel once again won the exclusive TV broadcast rights at a high price..."
...
Early in the morning, there was another pile of news on the Internet. Lin Nan was a little speechless. The recording time of the second season of "Running Man" was actually leaked?
Fortunately, the recording location of the show has not been spread out, so the impact is not very big.
At eight o'clock, Lin Nan left home and rushed to the company on time. He planned to go to China Film Academy again at around ten o'clock.
As for Liu Yifei? He must still be staying in bed at home. But I got up at ten o'clock at the latest, because Zhou Xun and the others were coming over as guests today.
“Director Lin, Shiyue Culture is asking about the schedule.”
Within a few minutes of entering the office, Yue Jun ran over.
“Are they in such a hurry?”
“Can you not be in a hurry? It has taken several years to make an animated film. You know the excitement and nervousness.”
Lin Nan nodded, it was indeed true.
Animated movies are different from live-action movies. The former are generally time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the risks are greater.
Of course, except for the top science fiction blockbusters, which require a much larger amount of work than animated movies!
"It's nothing more than summer time, National Day time, Lunar New Year time, Spring Festival time... Then let's say summer time, right?"
Looking at Yue Jun, Lin Nan decided lightly.
"The Return of the Great Sage" is based on the theme of "Journey to the West" and is also a major animated movie. Summer time is the most suitable for it because there are so many students!
The Lunar New Year and Spring Festival are too far away, there are still ten months!
"Is the summer schedule set?" Yue Jun asked again to confirm.
“Well, it’s the summer season. Try to stick to the first half of the summer season. The company has a lot of movies this year. It’s not on the same track as Lu Yang’s "Xiu Chun Dao 2", so there should be no conflict. ”
Lin Nan nodded and answered in the affirmative.
"Okay, I will tell Shiyue Culture later. There is one more thing. According to your previous plan, they are already screening and preparing new projects."
"Well, let me know when it's settled."
"By the way, Huayi sent someone to send an invitation letter to the premiere of "Orphans"."
Hearing Yue Jun's words, Lin Nan hesitated.
He heard Andy Lau say that in order to make this movie, the latter suffered a lot and made great efforts.
"If I have time, I will go."
Just when Yue Jun was about to leave the office, Lin Nan thought of another thing.
"Has Lei Jiayin's contract been finalized?"
"It has been signed and the team is making preparations. On the 15th, the company will make an announcement to the outside world. Does Director Lin want to meet him?"< br>
"Forget it. Let's meet again when everyone is free."
"Okay."
Lin Nan put his hands on the desk and turned his right hand Write.
He remembered that when Yang Mi's contract expired, Yue Jun reminded Yang Mi that she could set up her own studio under Shanhai Media.
But the final result was: Jiaxing was born!
Compared to Yang Mi, Lei Jiayin is obviously better at distinguishing between good and bad, and knows what is the best option.
……
At ten forty in the morning, Lin Nan drove to China Film Studio.
Just like the General Administration, there are many insiders coming in and out every day, including people from foreign film companies.
After all, only China Film Group has the power to decide which foreign language films can enter the mainland, be released in the form of split films, and participate in the box office split.
"Director Lin, I haven't congratulated you yet. You won the Oscar for Best Director."
Yu Dong's fat face is particularly eye-catching.
The smiles of him and Wang Zhonglei always gave people a feeling of bad intentions.
"Dong Yu is being polite, what are you doing?" Lin Nan greeted perfunctorily.
"I came to talk to La Dong about "The Heart of the Sun" and it has been resolved. By the way, Director Lin's company has a lot of movies this year. The Guangguang family may not be able to handle the distribution business. You can consider Bona, we are no worse than Guangming."
"Yu Dong, I am quite old-fashioned and conservative. I am not used to changing partners unless there is a reason to change."< br>
Lin Nan refused more tactfully, and Yu Dong had no choice but to stop pushing.
"Bona's sincerity will always remain. Director Lin can speak at any time. I won't disturb Director Lin for now. See you later."
"Well, see you later."
The two passed each other, and Lin Nan headed towards the chairman's office.
"Yu Dong?" the secretary whispered.
Yu Dong looked at Lin Nan's back and couldn't help but cursed:
"That old guy Wang Changtian is very lucky. He caught Lin Nan's boat, and Tudou ……
When Bona chose to list on Nasdaq, it seemed to be a wrong choice.
We need to delist as soon as possible and return to China. The mainland market is truly a vast world! "
......
He is not the only one in La Peikang's office, there is also Han Sanping.
Lin Nan thought of this last evening, otherwise Han Sanping Jia Nu can’t send messages either. If she can send messages, it means she knows about it from Han Sanping.
So Mr. Han is here, so we can figure it out.
“I just came to the group in the morning and asked the secretary to leave. Today, in accordance with the reception standards, I celebrate you winning the Oscar for Best Director. You are the first Oscar winner in our mainland film industry. Director!" La Peikang said with a smile.
Han Sanping was drinking tea on the side and said with a proud smile:
“It was the wisest thing I did to pry you away from Ren Zhonglun. Haha..."
Lin Nan sat across from Han Sanping, smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
Fate is a strange thing. Because of the incident in "Painted Skin 2", his fate with Shanghai Film Studio was cut off. Although Shanghai Film has been trying to renew it over the years...
"This is my first celebration banquet after returning to China. Thank you very much, Director."
Lin Nan knew very well, Both the front and back leaders are there. This cannot be explained by a simple celebration banquet.
"Before going to Berlin, I remember you said about the new movie. When will it be finalized?"
La Peikang remembered that when he was in Berlin, Ren Zhonglun already knew about Lin Zhonglun. Regarding Nan's new movie, he didn't want to have long nights and dreams.
Han Sanping has a concept that he is convinced even today, and that is: Shanghai Film Academy is dispensable if there is China Film Academy.
“It’s only been a few days, my company is making a budget.”
Lin Nan said bluntly. He is waiting. The celebration party and the new movie are still not enough to make Han Sanping here!
"That's good."
"What genre is it this time? Science fiction? Action? Main theme? Suspense? Realistic themes?" Han Sanping was a little curious.
"Comedy action and suspense film, the protagonist is a detective."
"You, you really know how to play. You are broadening your scope again." Han Sanping nodded and praised.
"I have won a lot of awards now, and I have good box office results, so I can play whatever I want."
Lin Nan said this very domineeringly, with a confident smile on his face . He is qualified to say so.
When La Peikang and Han Sanping heard this, they were speechless for a moment.
At this time, a knock on the door broke the atmosphere in the office. It's La Peikang's secretary.
"La Dong, it's already a quarter past 11 o'clock. Do you want to go to the small auditorium now? They are ready."
"Huh? Director Han, Lin Nan , let’s go then?” La Peikang stood up and invited with a smile.
"Let's go then. I came here on an empty stomach in the morning." Lin Nan joked.
……
Lin Nan had been to the small auditorium of China Film Studio more than once.
He couldn't help but sigh every time, expensive ingredients could always be made into a "plain and unpretentious" look. If you don’t eat it in your mouth, your eyes will keep lying to you.
Three people, one table of food. Lin Nan moved his chopsticks very rarely and ate very slowly because he wanted to go back with a full stomach.
"Lin Nan, the General Administration held a meeting a few days ago, and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was named and praised again. This is the most successful commercial movie with the main theme so far. In the past, when everyone mentioned the main theme, their first reaction was It's boring, boring, and preachy. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" changes this situation..."
Getting to the point? ! Lin Nan muttered in his heart and did not answer.
"Lin Nan, you should understand the value of main theme movies. The industry needs a leader, and the higher-ups also need a model."
Han Sanping took over La Peikang's words and added.
"So, didn't I make my first commercial film with a main theme? In the future, Lin Nan Pictures will continue to make movies with a main theme."
Lin Nan responded, in his heart Sixty percent has been determined.
""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is very exciting, with good box office and word-of-mouth success. Especially its significance is very important to the industry, both to the top and bottom."
"This movie deserves an award, it must win an award!"
La Peikang and Han Sanping sang and harmonized, and Tu Qiongdeng saw each other.
"So, I will take "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" to participate in the Huabiao Awards to make up for the time in 2009."
Lin Nan took a sip of chicken soup that was as clear as water. , the taste was very fresh, and then he answered.
The two people at the dinner table paused, and two seconds later, La Peikang spoke:
"You should understand what we mean. The important domestic awards, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" must be collected one by one!"
"So?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked with a smile without any emotion.
"Including the golden rooster!"
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan with a very soft tone.
“It’s really a Hongmen Banquet!”
Lin Nan couldn't help but complain, the smile on his face was a little cold.
