Chapter 634 Popular IP Fan Movie Celebrity Director

Chapter 634 Popular IP + Fan Movie + Celebrity Director

“Although in the eyes of our own people, Modu International Film is very unprofessional, low-grade, and very watery.

But it cannot be denied that it is indeed the flagship of the domestic film industry to the outside world. It is the only Class A film festival and has its own value and significance. "

Lin Nan looked down on the Magic City International Film Festival, but he still analyzed it fairly.

Sometimes film festivals are not just about movies, but also have other higher-level symbols and uses.

When Lin Nan caught a flight in the morning, she never expected that she would be on the same flight as Ning Hao and others. They were going to promote "Heart Blossom Road".

"I only care about the promotion of my movie. Whether it is watery or not has nothing to do with me."

In the first class cabin, Ning Hao said disdainfully that he had been fooled once by the Shanghai International Film Festival.

"As your Yifei said, you can also treat the film festival as a big party." Xing Aina joked.

"Yifei is not with Director Lin, so she always feels that there is something wrong with her. Haha..."

Huang Bo joked, Xu Zheng nodded in agreement.

"She will arrive at seven or eight in the evening, and I will pick her up at the airport." Lin Nan explained.

During the two-hour flight, no one thought about sleeping.

In addition, there were no outsiders in the first class cabin, so everyone just chatted about industry gossip and movie information.

In the morning, Enlight made an announcement that the final installment of the "Four Famous Catchers" series will be released on August 22.

At this point, this rare martial arts movie series in mainland China in recent years is coming to an end.

Ning Hao and others also encouraged Lin Nan to make the third and fourth parts of the "Xiu Chun Dao" series into a long series of movies.

Without their suggestions, Lu Yang had mentioned this idea to Lin Nan several times.

He also gave a clear answer - support! But Lu Yang had to do the specific work himself, and Lin Nan only provided funds and team.

At early ten o'clock in the morning, the group landed at Pudong Airport. In the evening, there will be the Magnolia Awards Party, and the film festival will officially open tomorrow.

The two airports in Shanghai have been extremely busy in the past ten days.

Because there are groups of Chinese and foreign stars and filmmakers coming here every day, and the media and fans are here 24 hours a day, and there are huge crowds of people.

Lin Nan and others were wearing thin masks and were not conspicuous at all, because many people around them were like this.

Those celebrities with more than a dozen or twenty entourages and bodyguards attracted most of the media's cameras and firepower for everyone.

"That's South Korea and Lee Min Ho, and...Super Junior!"

Xing Aina was excited, she liked boy bands. But Ning Hao beside him had already begun to frown, and Huang Bo and Xu Zheng beside him were trying not to laugh.

"Sister, don't be excited. During the film festival, there are many opportunities to meet and have a meal. If Director Ning can't arrange it, you can come to me."

Lin Nan joked jokingly, but Ning Hao's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone, "Your uncle, can you do some human things?"

"How to speak?"

Xing Aina snarled, then looked at Lin Nan, "Are you sure you can make a date?"

Looking at Director Ning's murderous look, Lin Nan swallowed:

"Well, can I or can't I? Uh... how about we talk about it then?"

Lin Nan chuckled and stopped. If he really said "yes", Ning Hao would probably kill him in the next few days.

"Hey, it's true."

Xing Aina suddenly lost her good temper and glared at Ning Hao. How could she not know who was winking at Lin Nan?

"Okay, let's go quickly. The airport is getting more and more chaotic. Be careful and we will be blocked soon." Huang Bo urged in a joke.

Not far away, the crowd of fans were shouting their idol's name and pounding the wall. This scene looks really shocking and a bit crazy.

After separating from Ning Hao and others outside the airport, Lin Nan led his assistant into the car that picked him up.

"Director Lin, do you want to go to Magnolia?"

"Let's talk about it in the afternoon. Let's go back to the hotel first."

Lin Nan flipped through the news and responded casually. This year's new dramas in the industry seem to have been gathering in Shanghai to meet the outside world.

He saw the news about Tang Yan and Zhong Hanliang's "Why is the Shengxiao Silent".

This TV series is currently holding a press conference at Magnolia, and is preparing to start filming at the end of the month. There are already many on-site photos online.

In addition, Leader Huang is also here to promote with Chen Qiaoen the "Overlord" TV series that he participated in and invested in and starred in: "The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiu Yuan".

"After playing "The Secret of the Dragon", you won't take on another "The Boss", right? Haha..."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh as the news kept flowing.

The next second, he caught a glimpse of Tang Ren's information. The latter's headquarters was in the Demon City.

During this TV festival, Tang Dynasty was promoting "The Legend of the Female Doctor" which they had just completed at the beginning of the year. It still stars their first sister, but I don't know if her acting skills have improved.

Lin Nan thought of Tudou, and Wang Wei would probably send someone over to buy new dramas. After all, Magnolia is also a TV drama trading event.

"For these dramas, Tudou will most likely quote a price, right?!"

…………

Lin Nan took a two-hour flight from the capital to Shanghai.

But in the time it took him to get from the airport to the hotel, he felt that he could almost fly back to the capital, but it was really a bit congested.

After arriving at the place, Lin Nan didn't rush to have lunch. Lin Nan took a hurried shower first.

After he finished washing and changing his clothes, the call came.

"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, come out together. If you have eaten, come out and gather together." Jiang Wen's loud voice made people's ears hurt.

"You are quite well-informed. I just arrived not long ago."

"There are paparazzi everywhere, do you think you can escape? The photos of you, Ning Hao and the others separated at the airport have been posted online for more than an hour."

Well, Lin Nan really couldn't refute this statement.

He immediately replied with two words: "Where?" Then, he walked out of the hotel in simple casual clothes.

As Jiang Wen said, during TV festivals and film festivals, paparazzi are everywhere:

"Director Lin Nan, Director Ning Hao and others landed at Pudong Airport at about 10 a.m. and left separately."

"Director Lin only brings two assistants with him, unlike other celebrities who travel in groups..."

On Weibo, many acquaintances in the industry have left messages asking why they didn’t see Liu Yifei.

Ning Hao is so petty. Ten minutes ago, Aite replied to many people in the circle, trying to trick Lin Nan, "He? He said on the plane that he didn't want to take Yifei with him, because he thought it would be cumbersome..."

Although everyone knew that Ning Hao was "making rumors", no one wanted to miss this opportunity to tease Lin Nan, and they all "accused":

"I'm really tired of it."

"Alas, Yifei paid by mistake."

"Lin Nan is so outrageous. Washboard, durian, remote control... take your pick!"

"I still remember the Golden Lion Award presentation night that year. Director Lin's speech was so touching that Yifei burst into tears. Yifei, sister, there are hammers, baseball bats, and wrenches here... Which one do you think you can use more easily?"

Looking at the group of people making noise on Weibo, Lin Nan was speechless:

"When we arrived, Director Ning said on the plane that he wanted to invite the boy band from South Korea to have a meal and asked me for help. Do you think I should help?"

As soon as Weibo was updated, a large number of people gathered around it.

"Boy group? Are you sure Director Lin is not hearing about a girl group?"

"Don't Director Ning like girl groups? Last time, he said T-ara danced well!"

"I'm so busy, I must help. Let's invite the girl group, um, invite the girl group!"

A group of veterans in the circle immediately understood that Lin Nan was fighting back, and one by one they started to add fuel to the fire.

When Lin Nan arrived at Jiang Wen's side, Ning Hao had just sent a private message: "Brother, I was wrong. Please explain to me about the girl group... It's going to kill someone..."

"Haha, what does it have to do with me whether someone dies or not?"

Lin Nan put down the phone after replying a message "determinedly".

The dining table is dazzling and rich.

Jiang Wenxiao pointed at Lin Nan, "Ning Hao will be tricked to death by you."

"It's a courtesy, haha."

"One Step Away" will also be promoted at the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival, but at this moment, there are only two people at the dinner table, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun.

Except for Wen Zhang, who did not come because of the scandal, all the other actors will walk on the red carpet. Wang Zhiwen is also a strong contender for Magnolia's Magnolia title tonight.

"Consider this meal a thank you for "The Secret of the Dragon". I'll start the movie later, and you can stuff people in."

Jiang Wen's words stunned Lin Nan, who had just put a chopstick of food into his mouth.

Is it so direct? No need to avoid Zhou Yun?

He glanced at Zhou Yun, who was smiling, obviously knowing that Jiang Wen was talking about Liu Xiaoqing.

"You want me to stuff someone? It's the same as what you said. With the style of your movie, who can I stuff? None of my people are suitable!" Lin Nan rolled his eyes.

"Haha, you can't say that. At worst, you can act and I'll tailor it for you."

Good guy, where is this return of courtesy? This clearly shows that he wants to take advantage and take advantage of him!

"Just wait slowly." Lin Nan said angrily.

Three people are having lunch here, and it's very lively outside.

Most domestic and foreign filmmakers choose to arrive the day before the opening ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival.

On Weibo and online, a large number of photos of celebrities captured at the airport appear almost every half hour.

Compared with previous editions, the biggest difference between this edition of the Magic City International Film Festival is the introduction of a large number of Internet companies.

These include several giants, Alibaba, Penguin, Baidu, etc.

In a hotel conference room, about ten people were having a meeting.

“Tudou currently doesn’t have many shareholders, and most of the equity is now in the hands of four companies, three to be precise.

In addition, there are a very small number of shareholders who persisted in Wang Wei's divorce lawsuit and did not withdraw. Facts have proved that they were right, but they held very few shares. "

"Director Lin Nan, Wanda and Guangguang?"

"Yes. Although we don't know the specific proportion of shares, we can infer from the information obtained that Director Lin is the largest shareholder, and he may even own more than half of the shares."

Hearing this, everyone else present subconsciously swallowed their saliva. The current market valuation of potatoes is not low!

"Who would have thought that Tudou, which was about to be finished at the beginning, would actually come back to life, and its market share is still so high now!

During the film festival, be sure to make an appointment with Director Lin. This is one of the important tasks of this trip. Well, basically the most important task. "

"No problem, boss. We have an advantage over the others." The person who spoke at the beginning emphasized.

"Um?"

"What advantage?"

The senior leader who led the team nodded and did not choose to hide:

"We do have an advantage. According to the information obtained from the group, Director Lin Nan holds a lot of our stocks. And he has been holding them for so many years and has never sold them."

…………

Throughout the afternoon, Lin Nan received many calls, including acquaintances and friends in Shanghai, as well as film festival officials.

The former people invited him to dinner, while the latter was a red carpet event, but he declined.

Lin Nan won't stay here for too long. After attending several forums and exchange meetings, he and Liu Yifei will have a good time for a few days, and then the two of them will go back.

Anyway, it was impossible for him and Miss Liu to attend the closing ceremony. They would not be able to wait until then and would not have the leisure time.

If "Interstellar" were to be promoted here, Liu Yifei would definitely be on the red carpet. But unfortunately, Warner has no such plan.

But speaking of it, the lineup of the Shanghai International Film Festival is getting more luxurious every year.

This year's opening ceremony movie is "Princess of Monaco", and the last person on the red carpet of the opening ceremony is the star of this film, Nicole Kidman.

The red carpet of the closing ceremony did not fall behind at all.

The star who will appear in the finale has been decided early on, and it is also the Oscar-winning actress, the famous Natalie Portman.

In addition, Kirsten Dunst and many other movie queens and best actors from the three major European film festivals will step on the red carpet and participate in the Shanghai International Film Festival for the first time.

The crews of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Transformers 4" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" will also appear on the red carpet one by one.

Lin Nan can still clearly remember the "poor appearance" of the Magic City International Film Festival in 2000.

At that time, there were not many foreign stars, and the participating films were basically all from small countries.

Looking at now, a large number of international movie stars are supporting the film. Half of the films participating in the Golden Goblet Award are from Europe and the United States, and the rest are also high-quality films from Japan, South Korea and other Southeast Asia.

"The reason why it has developed to the current level and scale in just six or seven years and has a good influence is a reflection of the country's prosperity." Lin Nan said sincerely.

The assistant knocked on the open door symbolically and came in after receiving permission.

"Director Lin, here are the arrangements for the first event tomorrow afternoon."

Lin Nan took the invitation, opened it, glanced at it, and then involuntarily read out:

"New thinking on Internet film and television and traditional film and television culture - the pinnacle forum!"

"The name is quite domineering! Who are the guests participating in the circle?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked.

“All the well-known film and television companies in the industry are here, as well as some foreign companies and filmmakers.

Director Chen Kaige, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Jiang Wen, Director Feng Xiaogang...Director Ning Hao, Zhou Xingchi, Xu Ke...Guo Jingming, Han Han, Yu Zheng..."

"It's really not picky, it's quite complicated."

Lin Nan chuckled and complained. The list gets worse as you go further down the list, but they all make money.

"I understand. Arrange a few cars and follow me to the airport in the evening."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan estimated that tomorrow afternoon, those Internet companies should instill their logical thinking into the film and television industry, and use their trump cards to enter the film and television industry to flex their muscles.

"First win over a group of people, then suppress a group of people, and gradually try to make the traditional film and television industry act as a subordinate as soon as possible after entering. In the end, it will be Internet companies like them that compete with each other?"

Lin Nan felt that given the urinary nature of those people, there was a high probability that this would be this routine and development trend, and it would be very barbaric.

"I'm very curious, what exactly will they say at the 'Peak Forum'?"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet at Magnolia officially started.

At the same time, Liu Yifei also sent a slightly playful short message:

"Get ready to board the plane. I will see you at the airport in more than two hours, otherwise, hum..."

In order not to delay picking up Miss Liu, Lin Nan immediately turned off the red carpet live broadcast of the Magnolia Awards and set off for the airport.

The weather in June, especially in a big city like Shanghai, is very hot outside during the day. Even in the evening, it's still a bit hot.

Looking at the crowds of people outside the airport, Lin Nan admired these fans and fans, and didn't know how they persisted.

He sat in the car, blowing on the air conditioner, waiting for Liu Yifei's flight.

There was a sudden commotion outside. Lin Nan glanced through the car window and saw a celebrity coming out from a distance.

"Unlucky."

He saw Xu Jinglei, and he was accompanied by the crew of "There's a Place Only We Know", which had not yet started filming but had already approved the project.

Among the group of people, the most eye-catching one was Wu Yifan, who had returned from South Korea. The little girls shouted at the top of their lungs, as if they had been given blood.

More than a dozen assistants and bodyguards escorted this group of people into a fleet of Mercedes Benz and drove away. Just like this, there are still fans who want to chase the car, there is something wrong with their brains!

More than half an hour later, Lin Nan looked at his watch and got out of the car.

At this time, only half of the sunset was left. The sky is covered with red clouds and the scenery is very beautiful.

The exit direction of the airport is still bustling with people. In the past, celebrities could not be seen, but recently they have appeared here.

At a certain moment, as if by intuition, Lin Nan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the exit.

Wearing a floral dress and black face covering, Liu Yifei followed her assistant and walked out.

With one glance, really just one glance, she looked in the direction of Lin Nan. Okay, now you don’t even need to make a phone call.

The raised corners of her mouth indicated one thing, Miss Liu was smiling happily.

The white casual shoes on her feet also made her steps bigger, occasionally revealing a white calf, which was very pleasing to the eye.

The surrounding fans kept shouting and cheering, and two big stars squatted down. Reporters gathered around, but could not stop Ms. Liu.

Lin Nan suddenly discovered that Zhou Xun and his party were also coming out with Liu Yifei? !

The media belatedly noticed the direction of Liu Yifei's gaze and followed her gaze. The next second they were excited. It was Lin Nan, the big fish!

"Hurry up and get in the car, let's run away." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"OK."

Miss Liu got into the passenger seat with a smile, and the assistant took the suitcase to the car behind.

"Director Lin, see you tomorrow."

Zhou Xun, wearing black-rimmed glasses, waved and entered the pick-up vehicle.

"See you tomorrow, brother Xun."

There were constant shutter sounds outside, Lin Nan stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the airport.

"I participated in the event today with brother Xun. I didn't expect that the flight was also the same."

Liu Yifei sat in the passenger seat and talked happily to Lin Nan.

After she took off her sunglasses, her face looked gleaming and beautiful against the backdrop of the setting sun.

"The crew of "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" will be walking on the red carpet tomorrow." Lin Nan replied.

Liu Yifei was also invited to the Shanghai International Film Festival, but for her, hanging out with Lin Nan for two days was much more important than the film festival.

On the way back to the hotel, Lin Nan asked Ms. Liu to open Magnolia's live broadcast on her mobile phone. The awards were already being presented.

Wang Zhiwen defeated Li Xuejian, Guo Tao and others to get Shidi. This is not too controversial.

But it was a bit far-fetched that Sun Li defeated Mei Ting's "Parents' Love" and Qin Hailu's "If Life Deceived You" to win the TV drama with a weak plot.

Although Zhang Yi also participated in this TV series, Lin Nan still felt that the award was a bit unfair and too biased.

However, if you think about Magnolia’s full name, “Magnolia Award at the Magic City TV Festival”, this result can be understood.

After all, Sun Li is from Magic City, and she is a direct descendant of Magnolia.

When we returned to the hotel, there was already news online about Lin Nan picking up Liu Yifei from the airport.

Many insiders and netizens are teasing Ning Hao and saying that Producer Liu is coming to kill him, so he should be careful about sowing dissension.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei ignored the banquet invitations. After having dinner in the room, they began to study their travel plans for the next few days.

With the warm and fragrant nephrite in my arms, a wonderful night passed like this.

In fact, Lin Nan thinks that her physical strength is already very good, but Miss Liu is a martial arts practitioner!

As our ancestors said, there are only tired cows and no damaged fields.

When it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, the two of them were still sleeping in.

It's just that one is habitually sleeping in, and the other is just resting because of some overwork.

Liu Yifei's smooth back was very comfortable to touch, but once her hands tried to slide down to the round and erect parts, they would be opened again and again.

"Sissi, it's time to get up. The red carpet for the opening ceremony of the film festival has probably started, right?"

Lin Nan shook the person in his arms and said lazily.

"I'll sleep for a while, and you go call for food first." A soft and waxy nasal voice sounded from beside me.

Lin Nan cheered up and sat up. He still had to prepare for the afternoon forum.

Pulling up the thin quilt to cover the white skin next to her, Lin Nan put on clothes and went to wash up.

An hour later, Lin Nan filled the dining table with food, and Liu Yifei woke up in a daze, smelling the fragrance and waking up hungry.

At this point, the red carpet is coming to an end.

Nicole Kidman made her grand finale appearance, stunning the audience; and Gong Li led the jury to complete the show perfectly!

"In the afternoon, are you going to go shopping alone and watch a movie, or are you going to attend the forum with me?"

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei who was eating and asked. The latter raised his head and thought for a while:

"I'd better go to the movies. Those forums are not suitable for me. I heard that the opening movie today is Nicole Kidman's "Princess of Monaco", so I asked Zhou Xun to go with me."

"Okay, let's go out for a walk in the evening."

Zhou Xun is also quite playful. After Liu Yifei called, she immediately agreed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who was wearing light makeup, left the hotel together, but with different destinations.

Miss Liu got into Zhou Xun's car and went to play, while Lin Nan was going to attend the forum.

…………

It had been a long time since I had attended such a large-scale industry exchange meeting. When Lin Nan arrived at the scene and saw hundreds of media outlets and densely packed cameras, he was a little uncomfortable.

La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun... Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Qin Hong... Wu Kebo, Huace, Xinli, Hairun... Cai Yinong...

Lin Nan scanned the sign-in sheet and saw that all the prominent people in the domestic film and television industry were here. No matter whether they are prospering or declining, no family is left behind.

As for foreign companies or filmmakers, they are all representatives, and it is more meaningful to sit on the sidelines.

"Lin Nan, look at you like this, why do you look like you haven't woken up? Haha..."

"Don't you know, Director Jiang? Yifei flew over yesterday afternoon."

"Director Ning, I seem to have seen people from SM and JYP. Would you like me to help you arrange a dinner party?"

Lin Nan said angrily, and Ning Hao shut up instantly. He was tricked by Lin Nan yesterday.

"Why don't you come in? It's so hot outside." Jia Zhangke shouted from behind.

"Come in now."

The venue can accommodate 200 people, and the central air conditioning is really powerful.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao walked to the second row. In the first row were some supervisors and several major state-owned enterprises.

"Hello, Director Lin."

The sudden greeting made Lin Nan look at the person walking sideways. He looked familiar but didn't recognize him.

"Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Qiang."

The visitor had a smile on his face, but his condescending demeanor was not completely hidden.

"Hello, Director Zhang."

"Director Lin is very polite. Ali has just entered the film and television industry and is very eager to cooperate with a big company in the film and television industry like Lin Nan Pictures.

In our development strategy, ‘famous directors’ are a crucial part, and Director Lin’s company has a large number of high-quality resources. "

"Famous director?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, well-known directors, great directors, especially internationally famous directors like Director Lin!"

Zhang Qiang stopped talking and did not continue. He probably would have to wait until the stage to speak later.

Lin Nan took the other party's business card and put it in his pocket. Zhang Qiang nodded and walked to another location.

Lin Nan's seat was not next to the directors in the industry. He was obviously treated like the boss of a film and television company today.

On the left is Wang Zhongjun from Huayi, on the right is Wang Changtian, and on the right is Fatty Yu from Bona. Fortunately, there is still someone who can chat.

"Today, there are bad intentions. Look, it's obvious that those Internet companies are taking the initiative."

Wang Changtian turned sideways and whispered to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan looked at the huge podium and nodded.

On the rostrum, the projector is on and the big screen has been opened. Isn't it just for preparing PPT for those people? !

As people gradually entered the venue, a lot of security was already in place outside.

After all, the people sitting in this conference hall are all important figures in the Internet industry and the film and television industry.

When the time came, the official from the Magic City International Film Festival walked onto the stage first and delivered a speech.

You can tell from the underlying meaning of his words that what he is talking about today is Internet companies.

"New thinking on Internet film and television and traditional film and television culture - the summit forum is now officially starting.

First of all, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Qiang, President of Alibaba Pictures..."

I don’t know who was the first to applaud, and then the whole place started to move.

Lin Nan and others stared at the rostrum intently. Zhang Qiang smiled and waved and stood behind the multimedia podium.

"The potential of the traditional film and television industry has been exhausted. The production model is backward, the content is old-fashioned, and the ability to innovate is insufficient... Market development is slow, and filmmakers are stuck in their ways..."

Good guy, Zhang Qiang started to challenge the film and television industry. A large number of film and television industry companies and filmmakers could not sit still for a moment, and the venue was noisy.

"Is he crazy?" Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang, who was above, changed the subject and said:

“The Internet is the future of the film and television industry. We will inject new vitality into the traditional film and television industry, give it new thinking, and allow it to thrive and transform completely.

Next, please take a look at Alibaba’s strategic plan for the future film and television industry. This is also the policy that Alibaba Pictures will implement! "

The big screen suddenly lit up, Lin Nan smacked his lips and complained: "It is indeed a PPT!"

On the big screen, the words "Alibaba Pictures - Plan to Reshape the Film and Television Industry!" appeared extremely domineering and arrogant.

For a time, many people in the film and television industry laughed. Everyone looked at Zhang Qiang on the stage with a hint of disdain and contempt in their eyes.

But the next page of content instantly silenced all those who had previously laughed at Zhang Qiang.

Everyone seemed to understand, but they all saw something unusual. Ali came really prepared this time!

Lin Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the line of words:

"Under the Internet thinking, the new direction of the film and television industry: popular IP + fan movies + celebrity directors..."
