Chapter 803 There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests
I haven’t noticed before that something seems to be wrong with Magnolia again.
Recognized by the entire Internet, he was in the TV series "Hey! Li Xuejian, who contributed a top performance in "Old Man", was not nominated? !
At this moment, Magnolia, which is about to hold an award ceremony the night before the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival, has become the target of public doubts.
Not only was there a lot of criticism on the Internet, but the industry also felt that Magnolia had gone too far this time, it was completely messy and insulting.
Many directors, such as Guo Jingyu, Yan Jiangang and others, even publicly expressed their opinions: Teacher Li Xuejian was not nominated, which is really incredible and difficult to understand.
Li Xuejian’s wife also wrote a letter to the organizing committee, asking about the selection criteria for nominations, and couldn’t help but send a long article:
When the old man (Xue Jian) has no works We won’t argue, the old man has a work, and with such a hard-hitting work that the audience likes, why wouldn’t he even be given a nomination? Only acting can give him vitality. Nomination is respect. I know he cares...but he only said four words, which was not flattering or humiliating.
"Tomorrow night is the Magnolia Awards Ceremony. Do you want to go and see it? Brother Xun has nominated the actress."
After coming out of the airport and heading to the hotel in the car, Liu Yifei's The voice interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts.
Zhou Xun was nominated for the Best Actress for "Red Sorghum" and was also the Magnolia Award proposed by Zheng Xiaolong, who is a frequent visitor here.
"Okay, let's just treat it as a show of excitement. Speaking of which, they are indeed quite arrogant. Mr. Li Xuejian's acting skills are not even qualified to be nominated? This year's Magnolia, tsk tsk, is really getting more and more incredible. "Yeah!"
While complaining, Lin Nan continued to scroll through the film and television information on his phone.
The award ceremony is really approaching, and the Internet is full of ridicule of Magnolia;
The latter has a tendency to collapse in reputation and credibility, and this matter has already developed into a It’s quite a “crisis of confidence”.
"Sissi, when we get back to the hotel to pack up, can we go shopping early in the afternoon?"
Shu Chang hugged Liu Yifei's arm and shook it with a smile, quite playful.
"Yeah, okay." Miss Liu seemed to accept everyone who came, and she had nothing to do anyway.
"You two have a good time, I won't go."
"Hey, I didn't want to take you with me."
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and gave Lin Nan a nice wink.
......
A TV festival and a film festival brought together 70% to 80% of domestic film crews;
Especially the latter, there are many When foreign films compete, a large number of foreign filmmakers will follow.
In this case, one can imagine the number of media who came to the Magic City. They were absolutely countless.
Soon after Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang arrived at the hotel and were photographed by entertainment reporters, the news came out online.
Many people in the magic city also received the news.
"La Dong, Director Lin and his party have arrived in Shanghai and have just checked into the hotel."
In a conference room of a star hotel, the staff knocked on the door and asked La La Reported by Paikanghui.
And it wasn’t just China Film Group’s La Peikang who was sitting there chatting and laughing. Looking around, there are also big bosses from several companies such as Zhou Xingchi, Ye Ning, Zhang Qiang, etc.
"Come here, I haven't seen him for almost four months."
La Peikang looked at Ye Ning, Zhou Xingchi and others and said with a smile. Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if they had been waiting for Lin Nan for a long time.
Among the crowd, Ye Ning felt a little helpless. Apart from La Peikang, he was the only one at the scene who knew that there was a gap between Lin Nan and China Film.
"Then everyone can get together for tonight's dinner." Zhou Xingchi nodded, speaking not very fast.
"Who is going to invite Director Lin? I am a little eager to see him. This morning, more than an hour ago, Yue Jun from his company was very, haha."
Zhang Qiang smiled and teased without finishing his sentence, his tone was quite teasing.
"I'll go, I don't know if he and Yifei have any plans for the evening."
Ye Ning took the initiative to take over this matter, and everyone present had no objections, including La Peikang .
Because the relationship between Wanda and Lin Nan is indeed the closest among the owners or companies on site.
And this "destined" blockbuster, coupled with the participation of Lin Nan Pictures, will definitely be even more powerful, and it will definitely be invincible at the box office!
...
The ten o'clock flight arrived in the magical capital just before twelve o'clock at noon.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang checked into the hotel. The first thing they did after putting away their belongings was to order lunch, and they helped Lin Nan order it together.
Because Director Lin Da was taking a call from Yue Jun, who called according to the time.
"The number you quoted is quite good. I said it was no less than 100 million, but you directly added 20 million!"
"Since they entered the film and television industry, haven't they labeled themselves as 'Big Dogs'? I regret that I quoted 120 million, they should have quoted 150 million!
Although they didn't do it on the spot this time I agreed, but I didn’t refuse. In my opinion, with the consistent style of Alibaba, the final deal is very likely!”
Listening to Yue Jun’s solemn conclusion, Lin Nan For a moment, I really couldn’t think of anything to refute.
Because Alibaba seems to be like this. Things that can be solved with money are never procrastinating. In addition, Alibaba Pictures is also affected by the support of its parent company, and it is also booming in the Hong Kong stock market, with nearly a thousand A billion-dollar listed company... has arrogant owners from top to bottom!
"Okay, it's up to you. It's probably just for these two days. They can't be lazy. They're too proud." Lin Nan said with certainty.
"Ao? Director Lin, don't tell me, I was 'arrogant' when we were talking... I have to imitate them, and even talked about big data, haha..."
Waiting for Lin Nan After hanging up the phone with Yue Jun and walking to the living room of the suite with a smile on his face, the table was already filled with food, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were feasting on it.
"Here, come and sit down. Seeing that you are busy, we won't wait for you."
Miss Liu patted the seat next to her and called Lin Nan. "When you two go out in the afternoon, remember to bring a few more assistants. There are a lot of paparazzi in Shanghai during this time."
Lin Nan sat at the dinner table and reminded her gently.
"Yes, we will bring 4 assistants. When we come back, we will probably carry a lot of bags..."
The three of them talked and laughed and ate, and it was over after more than half an hour. Had lunch.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were both in high spirits. They each ran back to their rooms to change clothes, put on light makeup, and prepare to go out.
And Lin Nan received the second call today. During the call, his expression sometimes looked flat and smiling, and sometimes showed disdain.
"...Anyway, that's the sentence: There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. You will know when you come over tonight.
How can I put it this time? It is true that many giants in the industry have been gathered. After all, it is a series. Well, it’s also a super IP..."
Listening to Ye Ning’s words, Lin Nan chuckled and asked:
"So among so many companies, China Film, Xinghui, and Wanda are clearly The main prosecutor, and the others are all participating? "Shanghai Film Group was squeezed out again?"
Hearing this, Ye Ning paused and smiled:
"Lin Nan Pictures can also be the main controller. As for Shanghai Film? Our director feels that he has only learned 80% of the skills of Director Han, and he is always a bit uninteresting, haha..."
" Okay, I'll be there on time to see the excitement."
Hearing Lin Nan's answer, Ye Ning didn't think much more, "Okay, see you tonight."
Look. Looking at the date "Thursday, June 11th" displayed on the screen of his mobile phone, Lin Nan muttered in a low voice:
"I must give face to so many people... It means I am going to watch the fun, but I am going Just watching the excitement, nothing else.”
.........
In the afternoon, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were dressed in casual summer clothes and took their assistants out for a walk, while Lin Nan went to the film exhibition area.
Although the Houtian Magic City International Film Festival has just officially opened, the film festival’s promotional exhibition area was opened a week in advance, and most of the films are already in place.
"The Return of the Great Sage", "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", "Get Out!" "Tumor King", "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", "Charlotte"...
All the films of Lin Nan Pictures are all together, connected into one, the scene is very spectacular!
There are many media reporters in the huge exhibition area, and filmmakers in the industry, including some foreign media and filmmakers, can also be seen everywhere.
The Magic City International Film Festival has indeed grown a lot in recent years.
"Oh, why are you alone? Where is Yifei?"
In "Slaying the Wolf 2", Lin Nan met Wang Changtian.
“She and Shu Chang went shopping. There won’t be any movie screenings here today and tomorrow, right?”
"Yeah, that's right. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"
Faced with Wang Changtian's invitation, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.
"Why, do you want to accompany Yifei?"
"China Film and the others invited me in advance."
Hearing this, Wang Changtian frowned slightly. Experience taught him that the light missed something!
"Please invite me again tomorrow. The market value of Raytheon has increased a lot recently!"
Lin Nan changed the subject, and Lao Wang suddenly smiled again: "It's true that the market value has increased a lot. The market is optimistic. It looks like it’s going to break 6,000. Let’s go and walk around together...”
…………
At seven o’clock in the evening, Liu Yifei called Lin Nan to confirm that he would be late. I didn’t ask any more questions after I came back later, because it must be business.
At this time, Lin Nan and his assistant had already arrived at the scheduled location, which was the hotel where China Film, Xinghui and others were staying.
"Director Lin, please come this way."
The people from China Film Group took Lin Nan directly to the 28th floor. Including this floor, the upper and lower floors are all conference halls used for business offices.
“I should be the last one to arrive, right?”
“Director Lin was joking, everyone had just arrived.”
As expected of China Film Group As a civil servant, you have to speak well.
As the door of the conference hall opened, Lin Nan was invited in. He saw a huge long table and scattered listening seats around it. Of course, everyone here also looked over.
Around the long table, most of them are giants and big names in the industry, and a few are small companies:
La Peikang, Zhou Xingchi, Ye Ning, Zhang Qiang, Wang Zhonglei... a few A theater company, Hengdian Pictures, Xiangshan Film and Television Base...
The surrounding seats are also "famous" figures in the circle: Xu Ke, Wu Yifan...
"Lin Nan.”
"Director Lin, please take a seat quickly."
"Director Lin, the box office of "Manchester by the Sea" is so strong."
......
Greetings and greetings Sounds, talking and laughter come and go.
Lin Nan glanced at Zhou Xingchi and then at Wang Zhonglei, feeling contempt in his heart.
Ye Ning's phrase "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests" refers to these two people tonight. It's so interesting!
