That year Huayu

"It's chaos so quickly?"

Lin Nan heard the incredible news. The big dog brother had just finished his first seven days, and the pony started fighting among himself.

"Now it has spread in the circle that Pony Pictures general manager Zhong Lifeng, after being interviewed by the group's board of directors on the 3rd of the month, finally submitted her resignation and has decided to leave."

Yue Jun said with a sigh on his face.

Who doesn't know that Zhong Lifang is a well-known strong woman in the industry, and she and Li Ming have a tacit understanding of each other, and the latter is kind to her.

The two of them have allowed Xiaoma, a "family-owned" ship, to demonstrate its eye-popping strength and record in industry competition.

"The timing is interesting, after the first seven..."

Lin Nan murmured softly, is this the last friendship and the last farewell? !

"What a shitty board of directors. Investment institutions don't interfere in the management and operation of the company. The board of directors is full of people named Li. They have always been opposed to handing over power to outsiders.

Now that the chairman is gone, how can Zhong Lifang continue to be in power? But this is too hasty! In the eyes of many film and television companies in the industry, Xiaoma is left with a bunch of idiots. "

Lin Nan nodded, agreeing with Yue Jun's view.

Except for fools, no one would believe that Zhong Lifang left voluntarily.

After all, she is indispensable for Xiao Ma's development to his current size. Which "parent" would abandon his "child" just because he wants to?

"Rather than being kicked out, you really should quit on your own initiative. This way you can retain a bit of dignity for yourself and be able to leave with dignity."

Suddenly, Lin Nan thought of something, and he looked at Yue Jun, "No one is poaching her?"

"How is it possible? Huayi, Bona, Enlight, and StarMei contacted them right away, but that person firmly rejected them all and said he would leave the film and television industry temporarily."

"He is still a very particular person." Lin Nan clicked his tongue with emotion.

…………

As early January comes to an end, several popular movies in the Lunar New Year season have basically come to an end.

"Private Customization" has just reached the 700 million box office threshold, and the daily box office is only around 1 million.

Looking back now, I found that whether Huayi had obtained the extension key before or not, it did not seem to affect the final result.

Because "Private Order" will definitely miss the 800 million box office, and it will be useless if it is released for more than half a month or a month.

"New Police Story 2013", starring Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Ye and others, also received mixed reviews and made 510 million in 18 days.

At this time, the daily income was still four to five million, which was the result of the "special care" of the relevant departments.

Lin Nan had to admit that Wanda's invitation to invest in "New Police Story 2013" was indeed a profitable business and a favor.

At this time, there are less than 20 days left before New Year's Eve at the end of the month. This period of time is a rare "steal" time for other Lunar New Year movies.

Liu Yifei took two invitations and a seating chart and ran to Lin Nan in confusion.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to tell Liu Yifei.

"Oops, I was so excited those days that I forgot to tell you. I promised Director Cao that we would go to Weibo Night together. Haha..."

Lin Nan took the invitation letter from Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

"Because of you, I have to temporarily ask someone to negotiate with the brand to adjust the schedule, otherwise time will be very tight."

Miss Liu puffed out her cheeks and looked a little angry. However, Lin Nan had already promised to others, so she would definitely give priority to cooperating with Lin Nan.

"I just went to sit around and watch performances and stuff. Director Cao also asked me if I wanted any awards. You and I can choose at will. But I refused. We two don't need those 'fancy' awards."

Lin Nan said with a smile, looking at Liu Yifei who was smiling, bulging her cheeks and rolling her eyes, she was really cute.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time. Next time, you must tell me immediately. The assistant was shocked."

While Liu Yifei was talking, she didn't forget to hit Lin Nan with her fist, so lightly that she didn't feel anything.

"Say sorry to her for me."

Lin Nan said softly. It's really a bit embarrassing if it affects other people.

It was inevitable that the assistant would be frightened. Her boss suddenly arranged an event, but she didn't know about it. If she didn't do it, she would lose her job!

…………

Guo Jingming went from being a writer of novels to becoming a director across industries. The high box office of his two "Tiny Times" movies undoubtedly gave the industry a "good start".

No, another one is here too.

Bona and several other companies joined hands with Han Han to directly hold a media conference, and the news quickly spread in the film and television circles and on the Internet.

"After Guo Jingming, young writer Han Han crosses over into the industry for the first time and will direct his big-screen debut: "We Will Never See You Again" written by himself."

"Newcomer director Han Han said that the movie "The Future" will officially start casting from now on, and will use real acting and capable actors as much as possible... It is suspected of mocking "Tiny Times"."

…

Regardless of what fans think, the film industry and the Internet are getting excited again.

"With years of experience in art, photography, and acting, it's reasonable for them to switch careers and become directors, but a novel writer wants to be a film director right away? Will his debut film really be directed by himself? Can they direct it?"

"Another 'Guo Jingming', another 'director' targeting the 'fan market'!"

"Isn't the entry barrier too low? Can anyone be a director, whether it's a human or a ghost?"

…

Like Guo Jingming, Han Han also has a large fan base.

Therefore, the films he makes as a director, at least his debut film, naturally meet all the basic requirements of a "fan film" and it is difficult to lose money.

Lin Nan stayed at the company and had just decided on the time for the annual meeting.

Looking at the news on the Internet, he couldn't help but sigh, "Where are we now? It will become more and more lively in the future."

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Nan saw Yue Jun coming in.

"Huo Wenxi from Yinghuang called us. "Ip Man 3" is about to complete its post-production period and asked us about the date when it will be released."

"You haven't finished the post-production process yet, why are you asking so anxiously?"

Seeing that Lin Nan was a little confused, Yue Jun couldn't help but smile:

"Why you are so anxious, I don't know. I only know that "Fire Heroes" produced by Yinghuang has hit the streets again."

"The one starring Nicholas Tse?" Lin Nan was amused.

"Yes, this movie is scheduled to be released on the 3rd.

With an investment of 120 million yuan, it has been released for 10 days, but the total box office is only 72.2 million, and the daily box office is only over 700,000. "

Yue Jun's expression was a bit teasing.

"Yang Shoucheng always wants to praise Nicholas Tse, but he has never been able to carry the box office. Wait a few more years, maybe he will become the king in comparison."

Lin Nan joked casually, causing Yue Jun to laugh:

"How is that possible? Unless the mainland sucks, haha..."

…………

Since the Internet Festival was renamed Weibo Night a few years ago, this event has become more oriented towards the entertainment industry.

And over the past few years, Sina has gradually become the dominant player in the Weibo field, and Weibo Night has become an occasion where countless celebrities in the industry flock to.

This year, actors, stars and artists in the film and television and entertainment circles clearly feel something different.

Because the official guest list announced on Weibo Night included many big names in the industry.

Not only Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao and other major directors will be present, but also the bosses of major film and television companies such as Guangguang, Huayi, Bona... Xingmei and other major film and television companies are also missing.

There were even Lin Nan and Liu Yifei who appeared on the guest list for the first time in several years!

This kind of lineup can't help but make actors and stars in the film and television industry think a lot.

"Weibo's IPO time is already counting down. This is no secret to the upper echelons of the industry."

Why is this year’s Weibo Night so grand? Listing is the core reason!

Lin Nan stood in front of Liu Yifei's exclusive fitting mirror, adjusting her clothes and explaining.

And Miss Liu had already changed into a simple white women's casual suit.

She was wearing black high heels and only wore a watch on her hand. The heavy makeup on her face made her look even brighter.

"Do I really not need to change into a dress or skirt?"

Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan and asked with a slight frown.

After all, she was going to an awards ceremony, but she still felt that this outfit was a bit inappropriate.

"That's good. You're not going as a female star, Producer Liu!"

Lin Nan highlighted the last three words. "Besides, it's so cold outside, why are you wearing a skirt?"

"Hehe, uh-huh, you're right." Liu Yifei nodded with a smile.

…

At six o'clock sharp in the evening.

There was already a sea of ​​people outside the China World Trade Center Phase 3, and the red carpet was even more crowded with countless fans waving support boards.

Unlike the red carpet at film festivals, some celebrities are not eligible to go.

But Weibo Night is different. From the first-tier to the third-tier, the star span is very wide.

Here, the works may be secondary, the most important thing is the celebrity status and fame in the circle.

From both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, you can see popular artists by name and celebrities who have become popular in 2013 on the red carpet.

Actors led by Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Chen Kun...Zhong Hanliang, Lin Jiying, Wu Qilong, etc.

Huadans with Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Ni Nai...etc. as the core.

It also includes guest contestants and crews from this year's popular variety shows such as "Fast Man", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "Tiny Times".

After these, there are the major directors and the bosses of major film and television companies, with clear hierarchy and clear order.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were on the red carpet, they could hear people shouting, "Director Lin, come on Oscar!"

The seats in the venue are lined up row upon row. Six columns and fifteen rows, with thirty-six people in each row. Different areas and different locations are strictly divided.

"Sissi, one tenth belongs to me. Well, it also belongs to you."

Of course Liu Yifei knew what Lin Nan was talking about, she smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

"Director Lin, Producer Liu, please come over here."

A staff member rushed over and welcomed Lin Nan and the two onto the red carpet in the aisle.

Many people noticed Lin Nan and Liu Yifei coming to Weibo Night for the first time.

The female stars focused their attention on Liu Yifei. She was wearing a women's casual outfit, not a dress or skirt like them!

Everyone knows what this means. Liu Yifei does not come as a female star, but as a producer and capital side.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei held hands and followed the staff toward the first row ten meters away.

Passing by the third row, I saw today's popular actresses, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Ni Nai, Yang Ying...

"Director Lin, Yifei..."

After all, they had worked together before, so Yang Mi was the first to say hello.

In the second row were Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao and others, greetings came and went.

The first row was lively. Except for a small number of people from Internet companies, the rest were bosses, big directors and their families in the film and television industry.

"Lin Nan, you and Yifei are here."

Jiang Wen said in a rough voice and waved at the fourth row in the first row. Ning Hao was also beside him.

"This position is not ranked at the right level. Yifei and I are actually separated."

Lin Nan is next to Jiang Wen on the right, and on the right are Ning Hao, Liu Yifei, Zhou Yun, Xing Aina, and across the aisle, on the other side in the fifth column are Chen Kaige and Chen Hong...

"Hey, everyone is the same, you still want to change?" Ning Hao joked.

Many insiders in the second and third rows nearby were looking here with smiles on their faces.

"Come on, Senior Sister Zhou Yun, let's switch, or Director Jiang and Ning Hao, you two can move to the left together..."

Finally, Lin Nan sat on the left side of Liu Yifei, next to Ning Hao.

A group of celebrity artists in the circle were dumbfounded, and then they were relieved.

Only Lin Nan can change seats at will on such an occasion!

If you let other celebrities try it, they might really die!

There was a performance on the stage, and Lin Nan and others were chatting.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" will be finished in two days.

However, what a few people discussed the most was the Berlin International Film Festival and the Academy Awards, whose shortlists will be announced tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!

"Who is this? Singing too poorly?"

Jiang Wen looked at the singer on the stage, giggling.

"Oh, it seems to be from "Fast Man". Isn't it on the big screen? Brilliance..." Ning Hao kindly reminded.

Lin Nan was mentally prepared when he came.

The awards on this Weibo night are all parallel imports!

The God Award and the Goddess Award were all received by four people at the same time.

Liu Shishi earned a lot of traffic and won the grand prize by relying on the official announcement with Wu Qilong. Chen Kun got another one by virtue of his status as the initiator of charity activities.

The first row is closest to the podium and can clearly see the faces of every star, and vice versa.

Face to face, Liu Yifei in the first row was so conspicuous and dazzling to the female stars on stage.

She is the youngest one in the first row, surrounded by big guys in the industry...

…

Weibo night is over, and celebrities from all walks of life are showing off their worthless trophies, certificates, and group photos.

The sophistication and strict hierarchy in the entertainment industry were very nakedly displayed during a Weibo night.

Online, a large number of fans are still fighting for their favorite celebrities and artists.

But it only took one night, Weibo night, and it was instantly squeezed out of the headlines of major media.

"The Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee announced the shortlists for the main competition unit, panorama unit, short film competition and other units at 11 a.m. Beijing time."

"Director Ning Hao's "No Man's Land," director Lou Ye's "Massage," and director Diao Yinan... are all shortlisted for the main competition and will jointly compete for the Golden Bear Award at this Berlin International Film Festival!"

The film industry was in a state of shock.

This is the first time after several years that multiple Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival at the same time. The hope of winning the gold medal is very high!

Ning Hao was probably crazy with excitement. He posted more than a dozen Weibo posts and thanked many people. In addition to the main creators, there were also Lin Nan and Han Sanping!

Not long after, the phone call came from Bad Monkey.

The moment Lin Nan clicked on the external sound, he heard a deafening roar: "Come out tonight, I'll treat you, whatever you want..."

"Hahaha, he was so happy."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth lightly and said with a smile.

A large number of actors and actresses in the industry are congratulating Ning Hao and wishing him a successful trip to Berlin in February to capture the golden bear.

Very early in the afternoon, Xing Aina was greeting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

Director Ning spent a lot of money this time and went straight for the most expensive private dishes.

None of the leading actors of "No Man's Land" were absent, and there were also many close friends in the industry. Han Sanping even brought Han Jianyu with him.

More than a dozen people, from about seven o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, really had endless things to say and had runny noses and tears, which is rare!

When they went back, Liu Yifei was driving, and Lin Nan was forced by Ning Hao to drink half a glass of liquor.

"I've never seen him cry so hard before. This time I'm more knowledgeable."

Liu Yifei held the steering wheel with both hands and joked with Lin Nan.

"Did you record it?"

"Haha, everyone recorded it, 'Director Ning burst into tears after being drunk.' It's interesting to think about it."

When Liu Yifei said this, she laughed even harder.

"The emotions that have been suppressed for four years are completely released. If it were me, I would probably cry!"

Lin Nan clicked his tongue and felt a little emotional.

"Oh, by the way. Have you noticed that Huang Bo and Xu Zheng seem to be acting strange tonight, with almost no communication and even a little cold."

Liu Yifei's casual words made Lin Nan unable to answer.

"I guess it's over, right?" he thought to himself.

Another night.

News about the Berlin International Film Festival is still making headlines in film and television news.

But at two or three in the morning, new news came back, this time, from Hollywood.

…

In the morning, Lin Nan was woken up by countless phone calls.

In the dream, the phone seemed to be vibrating for two or three hours.

At some point, Lin Nan touched the cell phone on the bedside table and answered the call without looking at it.

"Director Lin, Oscar, Oscar..."

Yue Jun's shout was full of excitement.

At this moment, Lin Nan was completely awake.

"Fuck, has it been announced?"

"It's been announced. You'd better see it for yourself. Everyone in the circle has exploded, looking for you, haha..."

…………

From three o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the morning.

The media, the film and television industry, and the Internet have basically all been binged, and they are still binging!

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

Directed by director Feng Xiaogang, the mainland film "1942" unfortunately failed to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The Hong Kong film "The Grandmaster" was successfully nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. "

…

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

Directed by Chinese director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others, the movie "The Invisible Guest" won this year's Academy Award Nominated.

Nominated awards include: Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Original Screenplay Award and four other awards! "

The film industry is indeed in a state of shock.

To be precise, the entire film and television industry should have been shocked by the news coming back from Hollywood.

It’s okay that Feng Xiaogang failed to get nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, because everyone is used to it.

But what about Lin Nan?

Nominated for regular Oscar awards!

The last mainland director to apply for a regular award was Zhang Yimou, and his film was "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

The final result was that not a single nomination was received.

This time, Lin Nan was shortlisted for four awards, and they were all top-ranked awards!

Before dawn, the Internet was already in full swing.

"Fuck, four nominations! If I win, Director Lin will be the first in the Mainland!"

"There is no harm without comparison. I can sympathize with Director Feng for a minute..."

"Director Lin is awesome, he really made it to the Oscars."

"Looking forward to the release of "The Invisible Guest" in China."

…

Lin Nan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

His Weibo, Lin Nan Pictures’ Weibo, and Liu Yifei’s Weibo are all “overcrowded”.

The congratulations, ridicules, and flattery from people in the circle can drown him.

Lin Nan raised his head and glanced at Liu Yifei, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her bare white feet.

She was holding her tablet, not knowing who she was chatting with, and laughing heartlessly.

"Hurry up and take a look, they are very lively on your Weibo."

Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan. As a family member, she was still immersed in the joy of having "The Invisible Guest" nominated for four Oscars. How honored she was!

"Well, let's see how these people flatter me, haha..."

You don't know it without looking at it, but at first glance, it really refreshed Lin Nan's "three views". They have a good relationship, but their words are more out of tune than the other.

"Director Lin, sister, I have won three gold medals, and my foreign language is not bad. I am just short of three major and Hollywood movie awards. Take me with you next time, sister will warm the bed... 嘘嘤嘤..."

"I'll go, brother Xun, we just filmed "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life". You haven't evolved, have you? I'm so goosebumps... Director Lin, you'd better consider me."

"On Director Lin's lap, there will always be a place for me, Mr. Zhu!"

"Lao Zhu, get up and move!"

"When I get the prize, I will definitely put it at Sissi's place and lend it to me for two days next time."

"Congratulations to Director Lin, see you on the red carpet at the Oscars."

…

There are a lot of messages on Weibo. From early morning to noon, there are thousands of messages, and the number is still increasing.

Many people in the industry directly used Lin Nan's Weibo as a place to chat, and were speechless!

Lin Nan had thought that his nomination might have a big impact in the film and television industry, but he didn't expect that the impact would be so big!

In the early morning, not only did the morning news appear for 12 seconds, Nortel even updated the news on its official website and Weibo at the same time:

"Congratulations to Lin Nan, an outstanding graduate of the 2002 Directing Department of our school, for successfully being nominated for the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor with the foreign language film "The Invisible Guest"... I wish him good luck in competing for the Oscars!"

These are all fine, but the media actually watched the excitement and went to interview several other big directors, especially Feng Xiaogang. Isn't this just adding salt to the wound? !

"I wish Lin Nan every success. He has always been outstanding."

"Oscar? Then he should be prepared to fail. Hollywood awards are not that easy to win. So far, I have only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film."

"First of all, congratulations to him for not failing like me... Don't worry, foreign awards are optional."

"Lin Nan, brother, I support you. Next time you make a foreign language film, remember to ask me to be the leading actor!"

"He has to treat me to a meal."

…
