From Chapter 764, business is business!
“I have the Golden Lion, the Golden Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear, the Golden Globe, the Oscar, well, let’s count the Golden Horse.
I have so many awards, no Care about a golden rooster? Why do you want to help those old guys? "
Lin Nan continued talking with the serving chopsticks in his hand. Fall again.
La Peikang and Han Sanping looked at each other. They knew very well that there was nothing wrong with Lin Nan's words.
For Lin Nan, in terms of awards, the Golden Rooster is indeed dispensable and cannot be on the stage, not even comparable to the Golden Horse. But...
"Since you don't care, why not go there once?"
"Haha, Director Han, I am not a stupid young man who just entered school. This kind of excitement is too childish. "Stop talking."
Lin Nan smiled and put down his chopsticks completely. It seems that we can have a nice dinner with Miss Liu and the others in the afternoon today.
There was a brief silence at the dinner table.
"Can't you really think about it again?" La Peikang still held out hope.
"I won't go. In these years, I have not scolded them on the Internet like Feng Xiaogang, and I have not ridiculed Golden Rooster like many directors. I am already very cultivated. It is best for everyone to keep their distance and let them Don't mess with me."
Lin Nan looked directly at La Peikang and Han Sanping and expressed his attitude again.
I saw that the expressions of the two people opposite me were a little helpless, or rather entangled.
Finally Han Sanping sighed and signaled to La Peikang: "You should talk to him."
La Peikang nodded. Han Sanping was indeed not good at ideological work. His style had always been vigorous and resolute.
Lin Nan leaned back in the chair and already had the idea of leaving China Film.
"Lin Nan..."
"La Dong, if there is anything else, let's finish it at once. Zhou Xun and the others are coming to visit us today, and I am in a hurry to go back."< br>
Both of them could tell that Lin Nan had lost his patience, or that there were already signs of "unhappy ending" during today's meal.
"Actually, at the end of last year, China Film Group also had the idea of letting you go to Golden Rooster with "Taking Tiger Mountain", but it was just an idea. After all, is this a political achievement?
But for the association, this is It’s ‘mission’. You should know what the word ‘mission’ means?”
For the first time today, Lin Nan’s expression became serious. Task means the above meaning.
“More than a week ago, the bureau held a meeting, and I was kept by the Children’s Bureau for half an hour. Then, the association’s task became the task of China Film!
The leaders did not It will force you, but the mission is the mission! "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is indeed worthy of the title...and you must be awarded the honor now."
"The leader will not force, but the task is the task..."
Lin Nan muttered this sentence, which is really 'language art'.
“What if I insist on not going?”
Lin Nan did not relent, he was still determined, he would never go to Golden Rooster.
If I go, what does it mean? What a joke? What's the spread? Bow? Subdued?
Seeing that Lin Nan still had this attitude, Han Sanping couldn't help but said:
"I knew you had this attitude before. The idea I gave was to bypass you, go to China Film and Television to sign up, and then talk to you later. I apologize slowly. Although this method is indeed a bad idea, China Film Group also has difficulties with China Film Group...
This is not what La Dong wants to talk to you about. It’s not a matter of signing up or not. This is a reward that the higher-ups should give. After all, it is a typical example.
You don’t have to give the Golden Rooster any face, or even openly criticize them, but you should at least take care of the relevant departments. How about your face? How about asking the head of the General Administration to talk to you personally? Let the Tong Bureau..." Lin Nan closed his eyes, listening to Han Sanping's words, it was really disgusting at this moment.
"Let China Film Group sign up... You don't have to participate, you don't have to show up. This is a good compromise for the superiors, the subordinates, and everyone. What do you think?"
La Peikang The voice sounded in Lin Nan's ears.
Lin Nan heard it. This was not asking for his opinion or attitude. This was something that China Film Group had basically decided;
It was just that he did not choose to hide it, but said frankly When you open up to him, you most likely hope to gain his "understanding".
When I opened my eyes again after a long time, there was already some bloodshot eyes inside. Lin Nan knew that he could not change the result.
"Are you done?
The mission is not my mission; even if I don't let "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" go to the Golden Rooster, the superiors will not force me.
In the end, it is still China Film and Television I'm just willing to accept this task. After all, is it political achievement..."
The atmosphere was a bit cold, and La Peikang couldn't find anything to say to refute for a while. Han Sanping had already realized something was wrong.
“Lin Nan?”
"La Dong, this meal is not bad, thank you. But I have to save my stomach and go home to entertain guests. It's almost time, so I'll leave first."
As he spoke, Lin Nan was already standing Got up.
As if nothing happened just now, he smiled and said goodbye.
Looking at the back walking away step by step, La Peikang asked:
"Lin Nan, what about the golden rooster?"
Han Sanping originally wanted to stop him, but his reaction was still half a beat too slow.
“Since China Film has already decided, there is no need to ask me anything else, it’s superfluous.
But how I face the media and how I speak after that is my business. I I will not attend the Golden Rooster. La Dong..."
Lin Nan's voice became farther and farther away, until along with his figure, he completely disappeared from the sight of La Peikang and Han Sanping.
"You shouldn't ask further questions. You can ask him again another day."
Han Sanping picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into his mouth. He had a bad feeling.
La Peikang frowned, "I guess there won't be any problem?"
The journey from the small auditorium to the main entrance of China Film Academy was originally three to five minutes, but Lin Nan seemed to have walked for ten minutes.
Standing outside, he turned back and stared at the door of China Film Academy, and did not look away for a long time.
“La Dong, this is a very valuable lesson... From now on, business is business.”
After a few minutes, Lin Nan decided to walk towards the big G parked not far away - to go home.
…………
The “battlefield” for the dinner party was moved by Liu Yifei from Liu Xiaoli’s villa to Lin Nan’s side because the place was more spacious.
After all, there are not so many swings, rocking chairs, vegetable gardens, gardens and pavilions in Lin Nan. The most important thing is that there are no groups of cats and dogs.
It was exactly 12:20 noon when Lin Nan arrived home.
A group of people were on the lawn of the villa, eating snacks and chatting and laughing in the warm sunshine.
When they saw the big black G driving directly into the garage, everyone knew that the real owner was back.
"Yifei, call the restaurant quickly, the food delivery time is scheduled to be late!" Zhou Xun hurriedly called Liu Yifei while chewing melon seeds.
"I guess Director Lin must not have had a few bites at China Film and Television, so he is rushing back to entertain us."
Huang Xiaoming stood up from the rocking chair with a smile, ready to greet us.
"I'm hungry, Sissy."
Shu Chang held the civet cat from next door in his arms and looked at Liu Yifei "miserably".
“Wait for me to call to remind you.”
Liu Yifei said as she walked into the living room of the villa.
Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin held pokers in their hands and were too anxious to interrupt.
There was no strange emotion on Lin Nan's face. The "unhappy breakup" at China Film Group an hour ago seemed not to exist.
"I said you came to celebrate the New Year, did you bring any gifts? Don't just eat and drink. Hey, don't glare at me, I'm talking about you, put down our cat."
Lin Nan started joking from afar.
“Bang!”
“I brought it, I brought a bag of melon seeds, no, everyone has already eaten them!” Zhou Xun joked with a smile.
"We are all just making small fuss, but the leader is so generous that he brought you two boxes of red wine, as well as several boxes of sea cucumbers and dried abalone for you, Director Lin..."
Huang Bo grabbed a good hand and sided. Overly emotional. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin all nodded.
“This is the way to celebrate the New Year when visiting relatives.” Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.
Lin Nan was a bit dumbfounded. He didn’t even know what to say about Master Huang. He was such a good person.
“The wine has been put into the wine storage room, and the ingredients have been moved to the next door.”
Liu Yifei came out of the villa and winked at Lin Nan with a cheerful expression.
Then she looked at everyone again. The hostess's posture was very precise: "We can start dinner in about twenty minutes."
With Lin Nan joining, The courtyard instantly became more lively.
《Get out! The crew of "Tumor King" is off today, so Liu Yifei postponed the dinner party today just to wait for Shu Chang and Luo Jin.
As for others, they have either just finished filming, such as Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo; or they will have announcements and filming appointments only after some time, such as Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen.
In addition, Zhou Xun is also one of the judges at the Capital International Film Festival next month.
Anyway, everyone is on vacation right now.
The food delivery vehicle arrived after a delay of twenty minutes.
The five waiters moved out several large insulated boxes, completed a series of operations such as setting the table, serving the dishes, and arranging the plates within two or three minutes, and then left quickly.
“Come, take advantage of the venue and dinner opportunity provided by Director Lin and Yifei, let me tell you good news.”
Huang Xiaoming held up his wine glass with a smile on his face.
“What?”
“Say it quickly.”
“Like Director Lin and Yifei, I am also planning to get married this year. Let’s keep it a secret for now. Do it..."
A group of people stared at each other, it is indeed good news!
"Hey, I need to prepare an extra portion of money!"
"Yes, I will definitely be there then."
"Congratulations, Xiao Ming."
"Congratulations, Xiao Ming. Brother."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei clinked their glasses and looked at Huang Xiaoming: "Congratulations..."
The dinner party was going on lively, chatting and having fun while eating, and it lasted for more than an hour before I knew it.
On the other side, the Film Association.
"There is news from China Film Group Corporation that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is confirmed to participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards."
"Are you sure? But Lin Nan has always refused to see us?"
“Look at this, China Film and Lin Nan have different opinions?”
"Is this possible? Can Lin Nan cooperate?"
"La Peikang's secretary said that China Film Group has a 30% share of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and is one of the largest producers and can sign up on behalf of the film. ."
"Can he come when the award ceremony comes?"
"Well, China Film Group said... don't expect it."
"Set up the time. God will announce this first, we must first..."
"Yes, let's do it!"
…………
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent the five people except Shu Chang out of the villa area in person.
In the living room, Liu Yifei was questioning Lin Nan, while Shu Chang watched from the side.
“When Brother Xun asked you why you came back early, something was wrong with you. I was the only one who saw it! Tell me, what’s going on?”
Good guy, looking at Liu Yifei and Lin Nan who looked like "interrogating", he was quite speechless. He was perfectly restrained by Miss Liu!
"You are so powerful, you have discovered this. When your intelligence and talent are used on me, it will be doubled, right? You will catch me right every time!"
Lin Nan joked with a smile, but Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, "Say it quickly." "Yes, tell the truth!" Shu Chang helped.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I was stabbed in the back by China Film Group. They wanted me to sign up for the Golden Rooster with “Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom”, and even unilaterally prepared a compromise. The kind that cannot be discussed... Haha, it is said to be a task, but in fact it is all political achievements..."
Lin Nan started talking nonchalantly, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang frowned one after another.
"Then, what should we do?"
Liu Yifei asked worriedly after a long time.
Lin Nan has been at odds with the association and the Golden Rooster for so many years, and everyone in the circle knows it. Now that word has spread, I don’t know what the outside world will say.
"I will not go to Golden Rooster. In addition, in order to prevent those people from causing trouble, I have to 'take action' in advance, and then..."
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at each other, somewhat confused about what Lin Nan meant.
Director Lin picked up his phone, flipped through his address book, and made a call after a few seconds.
He was on speakerphone and the other party answered the call very quickly.
"Director Lin? Director Cao is in a meeting right now. You can call him in ten minutes, or..."
The other person on the phone thought Lin Nan couldn't get through to Cao Guowei. I just called him.
"No, I'll look for you."
"Ah? Do you have anything to tell me?"
"I want tomorrow's hot search..."
Lin Nan gave detailed instructions, while Liu Yifei and Shu Chang listened in stunned silence.
Ten minutes later, the other end of the phone echoed: "Don't worry, Director Lin, I promise there will be no problem."
"That's it, say hello to Director Cao for me."
"Okay, Director Lin."
Seeing Lin Nan hang up the phone, Liu Yifei said, "Are you afraid? Those people spread rumors first?"
"Yes."
Lin Nan nodded, his eyebrows a little solemn.
"Sissi, the producer of "Detective Chinatown" is left to you?"
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
Liu Yifei avoided her vital points and patted her lightly. Breasts and a confident smile on his face, he just wants to be a husband and wife team!
"Produced by Sissi..."
Shu Chang hummed and hugged Liu Yifei's arm and began to act coquettishly.
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to their fight. He looked at another number in the address book, took a deep breath, and dialed it.
Modu, Shangying.
Ren Zhonglun has just returned to the office after a group meeting. He is listening to a separate report from the marketing department.
"The box office trend of "Heroes" is still very good, reaching 600 million. But it is almost impossible to break through the 1 billion box office, and even 800 million is a bit difficult.
But If you include the overseas copyright income that has been obtained before, this movie will definitely make a lot of money. It depends on how much the domestic box office will be when it is released."
Ren Zhonglun nodded with satisfaction. For a movie with an investment of 400 million yuan, it is really not easy for "Army of Heaven" to make money.
Overseas copyright sales are good, all due to the influence of Jackie Chan and Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, and Jackie Chan accounts for the majority!
Suddenly, the vibration of the mobile phone on the table attracted the attention of everyone in the office and broke the working atmosphere.
It is definitely not okay for other people to do this kind of thing when reporting on work, but Ren Zhonglun is an exception.
Ren Zhonglun subconsciously looked at his phone. The caller ID on the screen made him instantly refreshed.
"That's it for today. People from the marketing department can go back first."
"Okay, Director Ren."
Several people quickly exited the chairman's office, leaving only the secretary. in.
"Who is it? Director Ren is so excited?"
"I glanced at it, it seems to be Director Lin Nan!"
"Huh? That's no wonder."
In the office, Ren Zhonglun answered the phone.
This is the first time Lin Nan has called since "Painted Skin 2", and it has been 5 years!
"Lin Nan, I've been waiting for this call from you, but it's been too hard."
Although he had some expectations in his heart, Ren Zhonglun didn't say it clearly.
"Director Ren is joking. Should I get straight to the point?"
Lin Nan's voice came from the phone, and Ren Zhonglun suddenly became excited: "You said."
"Last month I When I was in Berlin, I said that I was preparing a new commercial film. If you have any ideas, please come to my company in two days. "
"Okay, I'll let someone... I'll be there on time." Li said loudly with undisguised joy.
Lin Nan paused, five years ago flashed through his mind, and then he made a serious joke:
"My film is a series like "Painted Skin". Maybe the sequel will still be handed over to other directors..."
"Shanghai Film will follow!"
Lin Nan's words were forcibly heard. Ren Zhonglun was interrupted.
“Okay. But this time the share given to SIPG won’t be much.”
“It doesn’t matter, any amount is fine.”
"Then I'll see you in two days, Director Ren."
"Well, I'll see you in two days."
Looking at the hung up phone, Lin Nan smiled at Liu Yifei and Shu Chang :
"From now on, there will only be two core allies, Guangguang and Wanda. The others will be ranked at the back and can be considered ordinary allies. Haha..."
"Lin Nan, This? ”
"That's it. Come on, let's go out for a walk with the dog."
Shangying, Chairman's Office.
Ren Zhonglun tapped his right hand on his desk, feeling very good.
After five years, Shanghai Film Group finally got a share of Lin Nan’s movies again.
Even if it is less, he will not have any objection.
Because this means that Shangying is back on the ship and everything can start again.
"Five years have passed, and now he has won many awards. He is the top director in the country and the number one in the mainland..."
Suddenly, Ren Zhonglun reacted, "La Pei What's going on with Kang? "
He looked at the secretary and asked: "Go and find out if something happened between China Film and Lin Nan? He will probably give us a chance!”
“Okay, Director Ren”
…………
The next day.
Early in the morning, the entire film and television industry was attracted by online entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches.
After 10 years, we actually saw the news about the intersection between Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Award again? ! Most people in the industry feel like time flies by.
“It is reported that since the Lunar New Year, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association have visited Lin Nan Pictures several times, but have been turned away.”
"After Director Lin Nan won the Golden Globe, Golden Bear, and Oscar for Best Director, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee were once again rejected by Lin Nan Pictures a few days ago."
"Since 2005. , detailing the grievances between Director Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association. The former has been publicly criticized and suppressed many times for "relying on the old and selling the old" and "seniority based". "
"Director Lin Nan was involved in the Venice International Film Festival in 2009. He was absent from the Huabiao Awards during the festival, so he was called out and scolded by many "seniors" of the Film Association and the Golden Rooster Committee. This time, director Lin Nan resigned from the Film Association angrily after winning the Golden Lion Award in Venice..."< br>
“The Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association came to the door several times, hoping to invite the now ‘successful’ director Lin Nan to return to the Golden Rooster stage...”
“Ten years have passed, and things have taken turns. Turn..."
...
A lot of news about Lin Nan, Golden Rooster, and the Film Association have been on the hot searches and headlines. The key is that they are all true things that can be found.
Most people in the entire film and television industry are confused. Don't you know why? Is it just because Jinji wants Lin Nan to "compliment" him? Or is there something else?
The China Film and Film Association are already in chaos.
"Lin Nan mentioned these old stories and people who broke the news about the association came to visit many times, but he ignored him... Is he showing his attitude? Is he slapping them in the face? Or is there something else?"
< br>
...
"All these things suddenly burst out, it must be him! What does he want to do? Overturn the table, or rebel?"
""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" The registration has been confirmed! Why, does he want to go back on his word or break up with China Film Group?"
"Let's announce the application for the Golden Rooster Award for "Take the Tiger Mountain" as soon as possible! Face...haven’t you persisted for 10 years? Why haven’t you continued to persist?”
……
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan drove to the film office.
The entertainment news on the car radio is the gossip about those people who have left Lin Nan Pictures several times. The specific day, time, and number of people have arrived.
“First of all, I don’t believe in the character of you old guys. If you accuse me of taking the initiative to show your kindness to the Golden Rooster...Secondly, I’m still waiting for you to announce the registration list. ”
Lin Nan muttered in his heart and walked into the film office. He went straight to Tong Gang's office and had already made a call.
He came here today for two things, one was the review of "Charlotte Trouble" and the other was "Detective Chinatown".
"I've been waiting for you for a while."
Seeing Lin Nan being led in by his secretary, Tong Gang put down the pen in his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him with a smile.
"Tong Bureau, my film "Charlotte" has been rejected, saying that some lines need to be changed and scenes need to be cut? But it's obviously not a big problem, I think."
Lin Nan spoke directly, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
“Don’t worry, let them submit it again without making any changes.”
Tong Gang said lightly, as if he was deciding a very small matter.
Lin Nan immediately realized that this was special care: "Thank you, Children's Bureau, I will ask them to resubmit it for review this afternoon. And my script?"
"Today or It should be announced tomorrow. It’s a special deal for you! I’ll make more good movies in the future.”
“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely no problem.”
Speaking of which. Lin Nan couldn't help but test it again: "Tong Bureau, if I have any scripts or projects that I'm not sure about in the future, can I come to you directly?"
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Tong Gang did not refuse, but smiled and nodded:
"Of course it's no problem. You are our first Oscar-winning director in the mainland, and you are still so young! Haha..."
Tong Gang could take the initiative to joke, which was something Lin Nan didn't expect.
As for why he would test it out and come directly to the bureau if he had any uncertain film projects in the future, it was because he wouldn’t go to China Film Studio many times in the future. If anything happens, there is a high probability that Yue Jun will be contacted.
Lin Nan did not expect that this trip today would go so smoothly. Maybe the reason is that he has won so many awards now, right?
After all, Director Chen was able to retain the role of Prince Long, so Lin Nan felt that she was not far behind! It’s just a matter of family background.
