Chapter 890: Red carpet representative; three categories of awards; prodigal bitch!
“New York Film Academy, University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, Hollywood Film Industry Association... Military Arts, Chinese Opera, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Music, China Central Television, Beijing Dance Academy, Academy of Chinese Opera..."
< br>Lin Nan yawned and counted the names of more than 30 international fraternal colleges and more than 50 domestic fraternal colleges that were participating in Nortel's 65th anniversary celebration today, as reported by the official media.
The scale and array are truly unparalleled and can completely crush any domestic film awards show.
In addition, there are more than 3,000 alumni who have become famous in the film and television industry and will all return to their alma mater to participate in the anniversary together;
Coupled with the large number of guests in the industry, such as film and television companies, related units, actors and stars... no need to think too much about the scenes in the afternoon and evening, they are bound to be spectacular!
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell him right now.”
Wearing a pair of light pink printed pajamas, Liu Yifei ran out, handed Lin Nan her cell phone, and said to He mouthed: "The director department is looking for you."
Lin Nan glanced at the notes on the screen, and then lazily teased:
"Deputy Director Jiang, red carpet Doesn’t it start at four o’clock in the afternoon? Isn’t it appropriate for you to disturb me at eight o’clock in the morning?”
"Four o'clock is a time for ordinary people. A small number of people need to arrive before three o'clock;
Didn't you see the interactive area opened by the school online? Vote for the 'most awesome senior brother and sister'!< br>
The twenty people with the highest votes will take a selfie with the students in front of the ‘playing board’. As of the end of this morning, your Yifei has won the prize.”
“So what? "Ask Yifei to arrive before three o'clock? I guess they are all from the acting department, right?" It’s not all gone yet.
"It is true that they are all from the acting department. Who makes it easy for actors to become famous? Our directing department is still very thin, and there are so many great directors in the school, but none of them are on the list!
Yifei's best is three points I arrived before Zhong. Director Tian means that you will also come with me. You are one of the representatives of the director department on the red carpet today. It is better to come here early to prepare."
"This is really coercing Liu Yifei into making me. Yeah? ”
Lin Nan couldn’t help but laugh. When Miss Liu heard this, she immediately gave him a flirtatious look.
“You two are so annoying to say this!”
"Let me ask, who are the representatives of the directing department?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
“Each school and department went to the red carpet separately, and the guests were interspersed among them. The representatives of our directing department are you, Director Kai Ge, and Director Tian!
Like the Acting School There are the largest number of celebrities, and they have to leave in batches, and they are determined according to the enrollment time, with the older ones first, and there may be two or three consecutive batches together..."
Good guys, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei Hearing this, they looked at each other subconsciously, it was really troublesome!
"Okay, I get it. We will both arrive early."
"That's good, see you in the afternoon."
"Have you been contacted by the Performance Department?" Lin Nan asked Liu Yifei, she nodded and said:
"Director Wang sent a message, I just saw it But what if we leave early? Let her go alone? "
" Just take her with you and go there early."
Lin Nan said calmly that it would be absolutely fine for him and Liu Yifei to bring a guest in early.
"Well, okay, I'll inform her now."
Turn around, Liu Yifei ran directly back to the villa, ignoring Director Lin.
Today’s entertainment headlines and focus of attention on the entire Internet, without a doubt, must be Nortel’s anniversary.
Because this is a true "grand event" that brings together most of the film and television entertainment industry, and there is no element of 'floating the numbers'.
However, there are still many "follow-ups" about Alibaba's strong acquisition of Youku yesterday that the public is talking about; especially in the film and television industry, many people are sighing and envious.
And this "follow-up" refers to someone breaking the news, that is:
Zhao Yanzi learned the inside story in advance and purchased a large amount of Youku shares in advance; during the process of Alibaba's acquisition of Youku, she made a fortune. A large sum of money, at least starting from hundreds of millions!
After all, whether it is acquiring or privatizing a listed company, this process requires a premium!
Obviously, Zhao Yanzi is no longer within the reach of most capital and stars in the film and television industry, just relying on other people's network of contacts and information!
Alibaba Pictures.
"Is the news accurate?"
"Accurate, it should be the past few days on Tudou. Last night, Wang Wei and several other major shareholders had a meeting;
This morning, Hong Kong Island People from several large accounting firms over there have come to Tudou, as well as lawyers...I heard that the internal employees are very excited..."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang pondered for a moment.
Alibaba Pictures was originally responsible for keeping an eye on Tudou’s financing, and even had to find ways to get involved;
But now that the parent company has acquired Youku, Zhang Qiang only has the obligation to keep an eye on this matter, because Tudou and Youku are the same type of company, and Tudou is larger than Youku!
Can’t the parent company take over Youku, but let the subsidiary Alibaba Pictures handle the harder-to-gnaw problem of Tudou? How to intervene and enter the market is of course a matter for the parent company!
"Report it to the group. Whether we can get the admission ticket or not is none of our business."
It is better to do less than to do more. As the president of Alibaba Pictures and senior vice president of Alibaba, Zhang Qiang certainly understands this truth, and he immediately ordered.
“Okay, Mr. Zhang.”
Huayi.
"Ye Ning drank a lot yesterday... If the formalities are completed before and after the Spring Festival, it will only take four months, is it enough?"
"Wanda is at its peak now, so there is a high probability that it will not be too big. Don't pay too much attention to whether an executive leaves, even if he is an executive who has created a lot of value, four months is definitely enough.
But I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest - Potato is about to start. Financing! Tsk tsk tsk..."
When Wang Zhongjun said the last sentence, his eyes seemed to be shining.
"This is recognized as a high-quality stock! Do you want to try it?" Wang Zhonglei said with a smile. ,
"Of course I have to try it. Before we went public, didn't we also invite Lin Nan?"
"Okay."
…………
From noon onwards, the Internet is basically full of information from Nortel.
What it looks like inside the school cannot be reported, because the media is not allowed in, and the students have complied with the requirements and kept it strictly confidential; but what it looks like outside has been splashed across the Internet.
A large number of security personnel are already in place, stationed outside the gate, and there are more inside the school;
As you look through the gate, you can clearly see that the red carpet is laid inside the school, not from the gate. Start at the door.
Except for invited official media and a few two or three Internet media, the school does not accept any entertainment reporters.
However, the school has opened a certain number of places for some citizens and fans. After registration, they can enter the school wearing a badge and watch in a specific area.
"Are you sure you are bare-faced?"
"No way?"
Liu Yifei has long hair shawl, slightly raising her chin, looking a little unruly.
“Okay, I just want to make sure, it’s very beautiful and natural!” Lin Nan smiled and apologized.
Liu Yifei chose a casual rose-colored slim-fitting short dress for herself today. The skirt reached just five centimeters above her knees, exposing a pair of white and tender legs, which was very eye-catching.
On the entire dress, small white stripes and rose-colored fabrics create two-color patterns that you can't even notice unless you look carefully. This makes the rose color less "dazzling" and looks soft;
Cuffs It is not a strapless style, but just covers her biceps. This outfit, with no makeup, long hair and a red and smooth face, adds to her graceful and friendly temperament;
Today she is not a star, she is just an alumnus, but her external conditions will really kill many celebrity alumni after makeup!
Hearing what Lin Nan said, Liu Yifei immediately became arrogant.
Then she shouted in the direction of the cloakroom: "Changchang, are you ready? We are about to leave."
"Come on, come on, why bother?" As he spoke, Shu Chang walked out.
"Good guy, are you really following us on an outing?" Lin Nan couldn't help but tease, but it was meant as a compliment.
White T-shirt, high-waisted slim jeans, white shoes, baseball cap, single ponytail, not to mention, Shu Chang's outfit is very youthful!
"Let's go. I'm a guest at the ceremony, not a tourist? But it's really hard to wear a suit on such a hot day."
Shu Chang glanced pointedly Lin Nan then took Liu Yifei's hand, and the two girls laughed at the same time.
Director Lin was speechless. He was just wearing a suit. The weather outside was 35 degrees. It felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Let's go, go into Nortel, stay under the air conditioner for a while; when the party starts in the evening, it will be cooler. Oh, it's an open-air party!"
Lin Nan finished speaking After speaking, he walked directly to the door, where two commercial vehicles were already waiting. He, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were in one car, and his assistants were in one car.
"Sissi, look, he doesn't even carry your bag for you."
"You deserve a beating again, Shu Chang?"
...
As it approached three o'clock in the afternoon, reporters from all walks of life and fans were crowding outside the Nortel campus. The campus was even more bustling with people, including traffic police and civilian police.
Students who want to enter the school must show their ID to enter.
Because people coming to participate in the school anniversary today include not only the film and television industry, the media industry, the education industry, international friends... there are even many department and ministerial-level leaders, so the security level must be high!
Although it is not yet three o'clock, some vehicles have indeed arrived outside the gate of Nortel.
Yan Dingxian, Xie Fei, Tang Guoqiang... Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wei... these people are either alumni representatives or the "most awesome seniors and seniors" who were voted out!
After a group of people completed registration inside the gate, they were free to "walk" around the school.
"Oh, this seems to be the car of Lin Nan Pictures? Director Lin and the others are here in advance too?"
Huang Bo was just about to go to the acting academy to gather, when he turned around unintentionally, I saw two Mercedes-Benz business cars parked outside the gate, and the benefit of my sharp eyes was reflected.
Immediately, Huang Xiaoming also stopped. The others just paused when they heard the words and did not stop.
A large number of students in the school were taking photos or videos with their mobile phones from a distance without disturbing them, because there were still quite a lot of volunteers maintaining order in the school today. Such a big celebration cannot bring shame to the school, right?
"Director Lin, look here!"
"Yifei, this way."
"Shu Chang..."
Today's vehicles are all the same They were not allowed to enter the school, so Lin Nan and the other three had to get off the bus at the school gate. And all around, the shouts of entertainment reporters were loud,
"Warmly celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Film Academy;
Warmly celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of New China Film and the 65th anniversary of New China's film education."
Lin Nan looked at the door The two most conspicuous banners were hung, and I couldn't help but read them in a low voice.
"Director Lin, Producer Liu, and Ms. Shu, please follow me here to register."
The young teacher in charge of reception at the school greeted him cautiously. It seemed that he had just arrived in the past two years. Postgraduate students staying in school!
"Okay. Sissi, Shu Chang, let's go over."
The three of them passed the gate smoothly and were taken to the registration office; there were already many names registered in the thick signature book.
After signing their names one by one, the three of them relaxed a little, and Huang Bo and Huang Xiaoming also came over.
"Director Lin, Yifei, Changchang, are you afraid that you have to separate?" Huang Xiaoming joked.
"If nothing else happens, Yifei should be walking the red carpet with me. Who told me that I am also from the 02-level acting academy? Haha..."
Huang Bo smiled unscrupulously, he was telling the truth.
"Then please, don't let her take the camera when taking selfies with the students."
"Fuck you!" Liu Yifei immediately punched Lin Nan.
"Changchang will follow you. By the way, the school shouldn't be so 'deserted', right? There are thousands of alumni!" Lin Nan asked curiously.
“We are all staying in a hotel outside, and the school has reserved the venue; besides, the red carpet doesn’t start until four o’clock, so there will definitely be no one around now!
Also, I heard a rumor that today, on the school anniversary, the school may 'initiate' alumni to give back to their alma mater..." Several people were walking on the main road of the school, Huang Bo said in a low voice.
“Donate? "
"Well! "
"I withdraw now, is it still too late? "Lin Nan made a joke.
"Your name has been registered, and you still want to run?"
As they spoke, several people saw the 110-meter-long red carpet and the 65-meter-long signature wall at the end.
“What a spectacle!”
Lin Nan sighed, and then looked at everyone: “Then let’s break up here. Sissi, take her to the acting academy. Hang around, I'm going to the directing department."
"Well, see you tonight."
Liu Yifei smiled and waved to Lin Nan, and the four of them walked towards the acting school together, while Lin Nan went straight to the directing department.
On the way, he noticed that a large number of school staff and volunteers were already making final preparations in full swing. The performers who want to come to the party should also be doing their final rehearsals right now!
......
The Directing Department is definitely a lot more leisurely than the Acting School because there are fewer people.
When Lin Nan came over, Tian Zhuangzang was drinking tea and Lao Jiang was checking the roster.
"Today is the school anniversary. If you see anyone who is an eyesore, just ignore it and don't have any conflicts."
Lao Jiang warned Lin Nan before Tian Zhuangzhuang could speak.
"Okay, I know who you are talking about? Taro."
Although there are not many people in the director department, there are quite a few famous directors, which can make Lin Nan feel an eyesore. Yes, who else could it be besides Lu Chuan? Gone!
“Don’t say those two words after you leave the house.” Tian Zhuangzhuang put down his tea cup and nodded.
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Lin Nan sat there and looked at the list of directing departments. There were many acquaintances, but there were only three representatives.
It is impossible to become a representative without winning the "Golden Generation" award at an international film festival!
When it comes to the "strength" of great directors, the photography department is only behind the directing department. After all, there are Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Ning Hao and others.
As the time approached four o'clock, people from the director department finally came over one after another.
Li Shaohong, Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Yu, Gao Xixi, Hu Mei, Wu Ershan, Lu Yang, Huang Jianxin, Han Sanping, Han Jianu, Lu Chuan, Lou Ye...
At 3:50 p.m. , the director department office has become very lively.
Not to mention, Lin Nan has quite a few people!
“Brother Lin, are you really separated from Qianqian?”
“Actually, it’s no problem for me to study in the acting department or the directing department; as long as Deputy Director Jiang is willing to let go Let me go, I will go to the 02-level acting department immediately! There are many more familiar old classmates there than in the directing department! Hehe..."
"Go and have your spring and autumn dreams!"
Old Jiang directly criticized, and many people at the scene were happy. Of course, Taro must be cold-faced and have no friends there.
"The travel plan was canceled midway?" Lin Nan ignored Lao Jiang and looked at Lu Yang and joked.
“Well, I just flew back from Iceland yesterday. It’s great there and I haven’t had enough of it yet!”
“I went there when I was visiting the cast of “Interstellar” and it was really dreamy. .”
In the huge office, there was constant chatting and laughing;
At this time, the one holding the chair arrived, which was really the finale.
I saw Chen Kaige walking in with a smile, followed by Chen Hong. I guess he came in as a guest of the ceremony. After all, he was born in a movie.
"Director Chen, Producer Chen."
"Director Chen..."
"Director Kai Ge..."
...
There was another wave of greetings, and the smile on Director Chen's face became even brighter.
"Everyone came very early... It's rare to see so many old friends today. We have to get together and chat in the evening..."
The "old friends" Chen Kaige refers to It is the famous Nortel Class 78. It is the Class 78 of the entire Nortel, not the Class 78 of any secondary college or major.
"Director Jiang, Director Tian, our directing department can prepare to go to the red carpet waiting area. The performance school has already started."
"Okay, I understand."
"Everyone, Then let's go," Tian Zhuangxu said. At this moment, he was the only one who could speak to everyone, but the older director Xie Fei was not here.
A large group of people left the directing department and headed towards the red carpet.
At this time, the Nortel campus can be said to be crowded with people. The movie channel was broadcasting the entire event live, and a large number of official media were everywhere. The shouts of students and fans could be heard in the sky.
Leaders from dozens of fraternal schools formed a formation, which was very conspicuous. The Central Propaganda Bureau, the General Administration of Culture, the major state-owned enterprises, major associations... also make no concessions.
The alumni guests on the red carpet today include all alumni representatives from various departments and grades of Nortel, from the performance cadre training class in 1950 to the class of 2012.
Across the sea of people, Lin Nan saw many trembling old people, octogenarians, and even old men and women in their twenties at the acting academy;
These people were indifferent. Without exception, I was basically supported by someone, which was really not easy!
Lin Nan saw that Liu Yifei, Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Jiang Yiyan, as representatives of the 02-level performance department, were in place together with the 01-level students.
Some volunteers put on red scarves that reached their waists on both sides. It looked quite formal, but it was definitely hot!
"I'm convinced, why are you still carrying the bag?"
Liu Yifei turned around, and Lin Nan saw the white women's bag slung on her right shoulder.
Here comes the funny thing. A group of people walked onto the red carpet. Huang Bo took the host's microphone and joked loudly:
"You read that right, it's true. Liu Yifei and I are classmates, she is as young as me..."
Not to mention the huge crowd at the scene, even Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing immediately. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin even called out: Where is the face?
Familiar faces walked onto the red carpet one after another. No matter what their personalities are behind the scenes, today they are all Nortel alumni with smiles on their faces, such as Yao Chen, Huang Shengyi, Du Chun... Speechless.
The Class of ’96 in the Performance Department is indeed the most famous class in the entire acting academy, and other classes cannot compare!
“It’s our turn.”
Tian Zhuangzhuang turned around and reminded Lin Nan and Chen Kaige, and the three of them took the lead towards the preparation area at the front. Volunteers, quickly put on red scarves for everyone.
"Now I would like to invite the representatives of outstanding alumni of the Director Department, Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, Director Chen Kaige, Director Lin Nan, and all outstanding alumni of the Director Department..."
Well, in this place in the school, it is indeed necessary to divide the students according to seniority and age. Age is "called", and Lin Nan has no problem with being ranked third.
The three of them led the way, followed closely by the other directors. The scene was quite spectacular and attracted everyone's attention. Because just this one team represents "half of the country" in the film industry!
In the distance, Lin Nan saw Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Ning Hao from the Photography Department; Jia Zhangke, Cao Baoping, and Xue Xiaolu from the Literature Department. These people are waiting to walk down the aisle.
There were even more guests attending the ceremony, all of whom were top celebrities in the industry, and the actors from Chinese dramas were the most conspicuous!
But today's red carpet really broke up many couples, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli, Ning Hao and Xing Aina...
...
The red carpet went from four o'clock to seven o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to have a meal in the faculty restaurant.
What he swiped was Associate Professor Lin Nan’s meal card. He didn’t know how much money was in it. Anyway, the school subsidized it every month!
By the time it was half past seven in the evening, the sky was completely dark, but Nortel’s 65th anniversary party had just officially begun.
Lin Nan ran away from the directing department and went to Liu Yifei. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Huang Bo and others were all there, as well as Zhou Yang, Jiang Yiyan and others whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Some people can only say goodbye with a smile and a nod, nothing more.
"The most important moment today is coming. I heard that there will be awards! Director Lin, you should be a part of it, right? Which award is it?"
The above is a dance performance, Chatting below. Huang Bo looked at Lin Nan and asked with a smile.
“I don’t know, but there should be.”
Lin Nan told the truth. Although he didn't know what award he could win, he knew that there were three types of awards tonight. Especially the last one, the competition is the most fierce!
After nine o'clock, after several leaders finished speaking, it was finally time to look forward to it.
I saw the principal, a classmate of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others from the 1978 class, standing on the podium and starting the first round of awarding today.
“On the occasion of Nortel’s 65th anniversary, the school prepared trophies and certificates for outstanding graduates and alumni to commend their contributions to their alma mater;
Received the honor of outstanding alumni They include: Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wenli, Wang Jinsong, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun... Huang Bo, Liu Yifei..."
A series of actors were named and came on stage one by one, and the principal personally awarded trophies and certificates.
At this point, Lin Nan had already seen something: "This award is also based on status and connections in the circle!"
When Liu Yifei came down holding the trophy and certificate with great satisfaction, she sat down When he came to Lin Nan to show off to him, the process started again.
"...Those who received the honor of outstanding alumni are: Han Sanping, Yu Dong...Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Guo Fan, Cao Baoping, Xue Xiaolu... …”
This time the list is much smaller than before, but everyone can hear that this time the outstanding alumni have more status in the circle than the outstanding alumni. Of course, this also means greater achievement, that’s a fact!
"Lin Nan, you really guessed it right..."
Liu Yifei leaned beside Lin Nan and muttered, but the next second, she also realized: there is no Lin Nan's name!
Similarly, many people around him also noticed it and looked at Lin Nan intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, on the stage, Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen were awarding trophies and certificates.
Ten minutes later, the third award ceremony began, and Lin Nan knew that this was also the last time! If nothing else, he should be there.
"Those who have made pioneering achievements in the film industry, the school, together with the General Administration, Film Bureau, Central Propaganda and other departments, selected three generations, old, middle and young, to award the 'Special Contribution Award'..."
"Special Contribution Award" Award!”
Lin Nan was refreshed, it’s this kind of award? !
"The recipients of the 'Special Contribution Award' are: Director Xie Fei, Director Zhang Yimou, and Director Lin Nan!"
"This is a lifetime type award! Although it is only awarded by the school, The weight is not low! Director Lin is indeed qualified, both in terms of awards and box office..."
Discussions arose, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were very happy.
Looking at the three figures walking on stage, many of the great directors present felt a little regretful. They really couldn’t compare;
Everyone could not beat Zhang Yimou, let alone Lin Nan. As for Xie Fei Director, others have different grades and ages!
At this moment, Director Chen's expression was extremely ugly.
He was in the same batch as Zhang Yimou, but he lost to Zhang Yimou at the 65th anniversary celebration of his alma mater! Lost!
Lin Nan received his first "lifetime" award at such a young age, which was really not something he was used to.
After receiving the trophy and certificate from the head of the General Administration, he followed Director Xie Fei and Director Zhang Yimou and gave a smooth speech, keep up the hard work!
When he returned to his seat and sat down, in just three seconds, the trophy and certificate disappeared from his arms and disappeared! Well, it’s at Liu Yifei’s place!
"Well, we have two trophies. Especially yours, which is the heaviest! I decided to donate 1 million tomorrow..."
Liu Yifei whispered to Lin Nan and smiled, Director Lin Only then did I realize that the school was really a thief and actually went to Liu Yifeila to donate!
"Okay, it's up to you. What is my salary as an associate professor, and you can donate 1 million. Am I paying myself a salary?"
"Hehe, it seems, that's the truth. !" Liu Yifei was amused by herself.
"Sissi is really stupid, a prodigal bitch!" Even Shu Chang couldn't help but complain.
