That year Huayu

In the morning, the entertainment news that Zhang Yimou went to the United States alone caught the eyes of the entire film industry.

There are still 10 days before the North American premiere of "The Great Wall". Director Zhang will take Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal and others to start the promotional tour of this film in North America in advance.

Other core leading actors in China, such as Jing Tian and Liu Dehua, will arrive in Hollywood one or two days before the premiere and appear at the North American premiere ceremony.

To be gloating, it is estimated that most of the film and television industry is waiting to see the excitement and jokes of China Film.

Because everyone in the industry knows clearly that the box office of "The Great Wall" in North America is the last straw that Chairman Lada has been thinking about. Whether he and China Film can make a comeback depends on this time!

"He lost face at the last meeting before the New Year. Although I suggested to him to put Operation Mekong at the front of the report, Director Tong didn't give him face at all."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei originally came to wish Han Sanping a happy new year, but they were forced to hear some embarrassing things about La Peikang. For a while, the two of them didn't know how to respond.

"Not really? Director Tong is an old leader of China Film Group."

"It is precisely because he is an old leader that he is angry. Director Tong will gradually withdraw from the stage from the first half of this year. He has confirmed that he will officially leave at the beginning of next year. There is no need to be euphemistic about his anger at China Film Group."

Han Sanping said with some sadness, holding a teacup. In fact, upon closer inspection, he and Tong Gang are the closest superiors and subordinates, and they have been together all the way.

When Tong Gang was the chairman and general manager of China Film Group, he was the vice chairman and deputy general manager, in charge of production.

When the former was promoted to the secretary of China Film and deputy director of the Film Bureau, Director Yang "airdropped" in and he also took a step forward - vice chairman and general manager.

After that, the former was promoted to director of the Film Bureau, and he naturally became the chairman of China Film.

Later, the former was promoted to the first deputy director of the General Administration, and he stayed where he was until retirement... Now, the old leader is also going to retire!

Hearing Han Sanping's words, Lin Nan shut up instantly, and Liu Yifei was also at a loss.

Fortunately, Han Jianu broke the awkward atmosphere with a carefree voice: "Look, now you two know how depressed I was during this Spring Festival, right?

Since my dad went to have a meal with Uncle Tong before the New Year, he has become a little sad and sighs all the time.

If you ask me, the elderly should not reminisce about the past all the time. The more they reminisce, the more sad and mentally distressed they become... Hey, hey, hey, don't glare at me, I won't say anything anymore."

Facing her father's "angry eyes", Xiao Han smiled and said nothing, but her goal had been achieved.

"Then this year, while Director Tong is still in the bureau, I have to make more trips and trouble him more." Lin Nan said with a smile, very sincerely. Over the years, Tong Gang has also taken care of him countless times.

Not long after, Director Lin and Producer Liu left with the red envelopes that they did not refuse.

The two of them still have to visit several families today. In addition, Wu Yi's family and Zhu Yawen's family will also come in the afternoon; the remaining two golden monkeys will come in handy!

The white BMW was driving on the road. Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei who was yawning in the passenger seat and couldn't help but teasing:

"You didn't get off the high-speed train until after nine o'clock last night. It was after 11 o'clock when you went home to wash up. I thought you couldn't get up this morning, and I was even ready to go out alone."

"Humph, who are you looking down on?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan and then turned her head to look out the window. She ignored him and seemed to have a little temper? It was really inexplicable. Director Lin was completely confused.

...

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, China Film once again gave the mainland film industry a strong dose of medicine, stabbing more than a dozen times!

"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter", "Assassin's Creed", "Fast and Furious 8", "Wrestle! Daddy", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", "Wonder Woman", "The Mummy", "Transformers 5: The Last Knight"...

In the first half of the year, more than a dozen imported movies were stuffed in at once, and they were all blockbusters with big IPs or big names; so that the entire domestic production industry was complaining.

But there was no way, China Film seemed to be completing its mission, and all the schedules of imported films were evenly distributed in the first half of the year. As for whether its own family members are dead or alive? That's a matter of fate.

But let's not say, this operation really can't be faulted, because it is done according to the rules.

But the more this is the case, the more China Film seems to be inactive... In the eyes of the industry, La Peikang and Han Sanping are compared like this, tut tut...

China Film.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, La Peikang also can't deny that Han Sanping paved a lot of roads for him and left a lot of important high-quality resources.

For the former, for example, China Film's journey to the listing was just a matter of time, and he took over. The latter, like Zhou Xingchi and Lin Nan, have connections and relationships. Of course, Lin Nan is gone now.

At this moment, accompanying La Peikang in the conference room are Zhou Xingchi, Wang Zhonglei and others, almost all of whom are one of the producers of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back". Well, there is no Wanda.

But what we are going to talk about today is not "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back", but "The Mermaid 2".

"Both Shanghai Film Studio and Director Lin are the main sponsors of the first part, so I also invited them to participate in the second part. As for the share, I will communicate with them after the script is completed.

And everyone here today, except China Film and Xinghui, are all new members..." Zhou Xingchi spoke slowly and slowly about the division of interests in "Mermaid 2".

While many people were listening carefully, their expressions were a little playful, because the relationship between Huayi and Lin Nan Pictures seemed to have been incompatible for a long time;

Moreover, Wanda and Guangguang, allies of Lin Nan Pictures, also have enemies with Huayi! I just don’t know if Director Lin can be like Zhou Xingchi and shake hands with Hua Yi to make peace with Hua Yi in order to maximize profits?

It's very likely to be very difficult, right? ! After all, Director Lin is a young man, energetic and has capital! !

"You mean, the script is still just an outline and framework, but you have already decided on the leading actor?"

La Peikang frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Xingchi. He felt that the latter's operation was a bit too anxious.

"La Dong, I have indeed decided on Wu Yifan, the star of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons." Director Xu Ke had already recommended him to me during the casting process for "The Mermaid," but something happened in the end.

However, the cooperation experience in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" this time is very good, and he is also the most popular top male artist now, which has a great influence on the box office. In addition, Director Xu Ke, Hua Yi, Big Brother, and many others also recommended him to me and suggested that he should continue to star in "Mermaid 2"... I think this suggestion is very good..."

Zhou Xingchi answered very seriously that as long as it helped the movie box office, he would naturally accept it unconditionally, including Wu Yifan's default choice.

Seeing the other party's attitude, La Peikang didn't say anything more. China Film Group is a major investor in "Mermaid 2", and he will certainly not object to any candidates or suggestions that are helpful to the film project.

After the meeting ended for more than an hour, everyone dispersed one after another.

Everything mentioned today will be kept secret by each company until the project of "Mermaid 2" is officially launched. Everything is just for the sake of publicity to increase the popularity of the movie.

"Director Zhou, Wanda has conflicts with our Huayi, and we don't like the share of those few points, so we withdrew. But if Lin Nan Pictures doesn't deal with us, then who will quit? After all, Director Lin But it’s the biggest investor in the first film!”

Wang Zhonglei walked up to Zhou Xingchi with a smile and said pointedly.

"For "Mermaid 2", Xinghui and China Film Group will be the largest investors and will also be the main controllers. Of course we hope that everyone can cooperate and win-win, but if any one of them can't accept it... it's best not to force yourself."

When Zhou Xingchi said this, he also looked at La Peikang, who was asking for China Film's opinion.

The latter frowned subconsciously when he heard the words, but relaxed them in an instant, and then nodded in response.

"Okay, as long as you two have this attitude, Hua Yi always welcomes people with a smile." Wang Zhonglei responded with a smile, and then walked away without looking back, in a good mood.

…

The news that the preliminary examination of Beidian Arts Examination ended was on the Weibo hot search on the morning of the 7th. I have to say that this year’s initial test was indeed delayed for a long time.

But after seeing the registration number of 38,144 people, everyone understood and even admired Nortel's work efficiency. It's really strong!

But the most eye-catching data is Nortel's 25.5% growth rate in the number of applicants. This data reflects the prosperity and glory of the film and television industry very directly and clearly.

Of course, these are just the appearances seen by people outside the door, but inside the door - it is even more fascinating!

Lin Nan also just learned that while the acting majors of China Theater and Shanghai Theater have not expanded their enrollment, the undergraduate acting department of Nortel has unexpectedly expanded its enrollment to 75 students this year.

"I'm talking to Director Jiang, how many fucking connections are there at the Acting Academy, and the number of places has more than doubled? There is a large number of people on my Weibo posting this question!"

After answering Lao Jiang's call, Lin Nan couldn't help but cursed before the other party could respond.

Lin Nan opened Weibo in the morning to check yesterday's box office situation, but Aite's head hurt and he wanted to close the comment function.

"There is no way. I heard that many professors and old people in the industry have gone to seek connections. In order not to make things too ugly, and to leave some opportunities for ordinary students, the acting school can only expand its enrollment. For this matter, the school has also There's a meeting.

But it is indeed funny to say that a conference only lasted for 5 minutes. Because everyone who attended the meeting voted unanimously to pass! Of course, this is a matter for their acting school and has nothing to do with our directing department. "

Lao Jiang said with a sinister smile, after all, this matter has become a topic of discussion in the circle after dinner. Even the Central Theater and Shangxi Theater are "discussing" it.

"You're just messing around every day!" After scolding silently, Lin Nan remembered to ask about business, "Tell me, why are you calling me?"

"You are such a noble person and forgetful about things. Let me remind you that your teaching assignment for this year has not been decided yet. Either start a project to teach graduate students, or come to school to start a class, or..."

After hearing this, Lin Nan knew what Lao Jiang was trying to say. No, to be precise, he knew what the school was planning.

"Okay, I only want students majoring in behind-the-scenes work, no more than 10. I give you the right to choose people. Let them report to our company before the day after tomorrow. Yue Jun will arrange it. The crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has many odd jobs and underhands. position..."

Sure enough, Lao Jiang became excited instantly, "20?"

"5!"

"Let's get 10 out of 10. I'll inform you right away... I don't think I can get out of the photography department... No, I'll reserve two places for our directing department first, haha..."

Just after hanging up the phone with Lao Jiang, a text message popped up. Lin Nan looked at the time. It was already 10:40 in the morning and it was time to set off.

"Ahem, Lin Nan, what should we have for lunch?" Director Lin just stood up when Liu Yifei's voice floated over from the second floor.

Looking up, I saw classmate Liu Qianqian wearing a pink plush jacket, which belongs to the home pajamas series. She crossed her arms and hugged her chest, with a sweet expression of harmlessness.

Her feet were wearing white cotton socks, and she was wearing cotton slippers...but her weight was on her left foot, and her right leg was shaking slightly...it put a lot of pressure on Lin Nan!

"Well, don't you know about Lu Zheng's dinner party? Why don't you go with me?" Lin Nan smiled sincerely. He didn't know why he was sincere, but he was very sincere anyway.

"They didn't invite me, so why did I go there? Isn't it awkward or an eyesore?"

At this moment, in Lin Nan's field of vision, Liu Yifei's smile was still so beautiful, but her eyes were so sharp; he felt that under these eyes, he was completely naked and had no privacy at all!

And this tone, this tone, really seems like Lin Daiyu is possessed, it's that Liu Audun.

"Although Lu Zheng didn't say it, Tian... I guess Jing Tian should be here too. It's just right for you to come with me." Lin Nan nodded and strengthened his tone.

"Hehe..." Suddenly, classmate Liu Qianqian laughed, hugging her B-cup and laughing non-stop, with a look of arrogance on her face.

"Why are you laughing?" Lin Nan was a little confused.

"Humph, I'm laughing at you. Go quickly, I won't go. I'll call Changchang to come over and accompany me, and we'll eat together." Liu Yifei urged with a smile, raising her pretty chin slightly.

"Then, I'm leaving?" Lin Nan pointed outside.

"You're so long-winded, remember to go early and come back early." Miss Liu curled her lips and rolled her eyes, but at the same time she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Okay."

At this moment, how could Lin Nan not guess that Liu Yifei has been "thinking about" this matter these days? Even in the car that day when she returned to her hometown, she didn't completely fall asleep in his arms because she heard the phone call.

Not long after, when Lin Nan drove out of the courtyard gate, Liu Yifei in the living room laughed again.

"Humph, you little brat, are you being manipulated by me? Hehe..."

…

On the other side, Lu Zheng and Jing Tian had already arrived, and the two of them were taken into the reserved box.

Speaking of which, Lu Zheng has not been idle these two days. While he was waiting for Lin Nan and today's dinner, he was also dealing with some other finishing matters.

After all, he has invested in many companies in the film and television industry before, such as Wanda Pictures... these all have to be dealt with!
