That year Huayu

Sitting in the study room, Lin Nan turned on the computer and saw the email in the mailbox, which was from the Oscar Academy Board of Directors.

In addition to a very formal email inviting him to become a member of the academy, it also came with a form that needed to be filled out.

The information to be entered is mainly personal information and receiving address, because Oscar "ballots" need to be mailed to the judges themselves.

After filling in the movies and creators you support, mail the "ballot" back to the Academy.

Of course, you can also bring it in person and submit it on-site. This is considered as completing the Oscar voting.

"Well, let's just write Lin Nan Pictures as the address.

By the way, if you send me the nomination and runoff votes at once, do I have to mail or bring them separately one month apart? This is a bit troublesome! "

Lin Nan murmured with a smile. Then he shook his head and started to reply to the email.

At the same time, more and more actors, artists and practitioners in the industry have paid attention to this news, and they have attracted attention from Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"Congratulations to Director Lin! I'm so happy. Now I'll have someone with me every year when I go to Hollywood to attend the Oscars."

"Yifei, your director Lin is not authentic. There is no news at all about competing for the Golden Globe! Next time he makes a foreign language film, let him take me with him!"

"Brother Xun, please calm down, there are so many people. Haha..."

"Hey, it's true, it stole the spotlight from my movie! You guys, please help me promote it more, and "Beautiful Heart" will break the 100 million mark on the first day!"

…

"Isn't this going to win the Golden Globe, win the Oscars, and herd Hollywood? Director Lin, I'm optimistic about you!"

"Damn it, Huang Bo is such a flatterer, I accept it!"

"It's a pity that the higher-ups didn't approve it. Otherwise, my brother, I would have tried my hand at the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year, and you would have just voted for me and canvassed my votes!"

"Congratulations to Director Lin..."

"Congratulations to Director Lin."

"Sissi, there will be a lot of red carpets at the beginning of next year!"

…

It took nearly an hour, until early ten o'clock in the morning, before Lin Nan finished the email and sent it out.

The reason why it took a lot of time was mainly because he also wrote a letter of thanks in a well-chosen way.

This is a matter of etiquette. We can’t embarrass Chinese filmmakers!

Going next door, Liu Yifei was holding a tablet with a smile on her face. She didn't know who she was chatting with, but she thought it was definitely about Lin Nan.

"Come and sit next to me, they are all 'arranging' something."

Miss Liu stretched out her hand, patted the place beside her, and said to Lin Nan with a smile.

"Well, let's take a look. What do they say about me?"

"You are saying that you have completely abandoned domestic film festivals and taken root in Hollywood. There are still golden roosters gnashing their teeth... Haha..."

"I will not bear these scapegoats."

Lin Nan squeezed next to Liu Yifei, rested his head on her shoulder, and looked at the comments and messages on the screen.

The faint fragrance comes from the neck, face, and hair, lingering on the tip of the nose, very comfortable. Miss Liu's collarbone is right in front of her eyes, and further down is the small hill in the short-sleeved collar...

"Hey, don't look around."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan indifferently, and leaned forward. Did she ask him to be her pillow because of her feelings?

"My flight ticket has been booked, it will be on the morning of the 4th."

"Okay, I'll drive you that day."

"Um."

The two of them were cuddling together like this, and there was a sudden feeling of parting and reluctance. It was amazing, maybe because they had just gotten engaged.

The phone calls always come in at the wrong time, and I have to answer them because they are most likely for business.

"Hello?"

"Director Lin, "囧" will start shooting in Shanghai in two days..."

Listening to the call, Lin Nan nodded and answered from time to time.

Xu Zheng's intention was obvious, that is, he wanted to invite him to attend the opening ceremony.

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, "I won't go. Director Wang can just go there. Yifei is going on a business trip these two days, and I just happen to help her pack her things."

"Uh, that's okay. I wish Yifei a smooth business trip, and by the way, I wish Director Lin the Golden Globe Award. Congratulations on becoming an Oscar judge."

"Thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan curled his lips and sighed with emotion, Xu Zheng is such a good person.

Lin Nan also found out something a few days ago.

Xu Zheng used "囧 in Hong Kong" to connect all the connections he had access to. He replaced a previously confirmed actor and invited Zhao Yanzi to play a small but important supporting role. Zhao Yanzi, isn’t it just capital?

"You didn't go to the power-on ceremony because you wanted to stay with me for these two days?"

Lifting her head, Liu Yifei smiled brightly.

"Hey, you're smart," Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Yeah, hehe..."

…………

Affected by the "Banning Order", the promotional activities of these two movies, "The Sun" in the Lunar New Year period and "Monster Hunt" in the Spring Festival period, have obviously stopped.

Although the film studio has not issued any announcements or notifications, everyone in the industry can guess that the producer and distributor must be struggling, hesitating, and feeling pain at the moment!

Think about it, a lot of publicity expenses and resources have been spent, and now we have to face this situation. Who can be willing to do it? No one is willing to do so!

At the end of the day, time has crossed September and officially entered the National Day holiday.

The film market has been completely stimulated by "The Flower of the Heart".

"Directed by director Ning Hao and produced by director Lin Nan, the road-themed comedy film "Love on the Road" once again grossed 122 million at the box office on the second day after its release, unbeatable!"

"As Director Lin Nan said, "Heart Blossom Road" is expected to help Director Ning Hao make a leap and be promoted to a director in the 1 billion box office club!"

"Six movies including "Golden Age", "Ruffian Hero 2", and "Quiba 3" will be released simultaneously today to compete for the National Day schedule."

"The costume TV series "Pocahontas" produced by Tang Dynasty, starring Liu Shishi, Peng Yuyan, and Hu Ge, and adapted from "The Ballad of the Desert" will be grandly launched tonight on Mango TV."

"The 51st Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list today. Many films from the mainland were shortlisted. Gong Li's "Return" is highly anticipated..."

…

"Regarding Director Lin Nan's invitation to become an Oscar judge, many industry seniors and senior filmmakers from the association expressed different opinions."

"It is said that Lin Nan, who has already achieved outstanding achievements and a huge reputation, should not evade the responsibilities and obligations that he should bear as a major director in the Chinese film industry for many years.

We should not blindly stay away from important mainland film award events, only know about foreign film festivals, "worship foreigners and favor foreigners", and deliberately despise and ignore important Chinese film events and events such as Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao...

Lin Nan should play a leading role in the industry and not forget his roots..."

…

It’s really the National Day holiday, and the entertainment industry is also “celebrating the holiday”!

A piece of news that old men and women "named" Lin Nan ignited the entire film and television industry.

Is this eye medicine? No one in the circle dared to say anything! Because others said it very righteously!

Lin Nan found out about this after she and Liu Yifei came back from the pet hospital and received many calls and messages.

He laughed angrily while sitting in the yard. These people are so shameless!

"This is a slap in the face, kidnapping me from the moral high ground? You don't know, you thought I was the villain from the beginning?

I just want to be an Oscar judge. There are thousands of people. Although there are very few Asians, does this irritate them? "

Lin Nan spread his hands and looked at Liu Yifei, who was sitting cross-legged on the lawn, with several kittens and puppies spinning around.

"Oh, did they really get it right? Are you gritting your teeth?

But it’s understandable. Do you think any major domestic director is like you, who has been separated from Jin Ji for so many years? hehe……"

Miss Liu tilted her head and smiled playfully, then grabbed the fat orange beside her and hugged it into her arms.

"You still have to reply a few words. You can't just say nothing and let these 'seniors' who have half of their bodies buried in the ground push forward."

Lin Nan muttered and took the tablet on the blanket.

"To be honest, I seem to have done a lot of things over the years. I have broken box office records again and again. I was the first to make a science fiction blockbuster, the first to make a fantasy blockbuster, the first to make a commercial blockbuster with a main theme... There is nothing like As the relevant person said, has he not fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations that a major Chinese-speaking director should fulfill?

In addition, I do not underestimate Baihua, I even went to win an award once; I do not ignore Huabiao, I will go to the next one; I have also been to the Golden Horse several times. As for the Golden Rooster, there are too many masters, but I am not worthy!

How about we just stay safe and ignore each other? Why do you want to come to me for trouble? Just because you are older, you can’t ‘preach’ others at will, right? My teacher didn’t say anything about me!

Also, I recommend you to watch more of my Golden Lion movie "Hunting". Don't stand in the sun all day talking to others, because you can't see your faces clearly. The sun is too dazzling! "

A few minutes later, Lin Nan's Weibo was updated. The accompanying picture was a live photo of the paw paw team next to him!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were sitting on their lawn, basking in the sun, and the circle started to get lively.

"Director Lin's Weibo doesn't contain a single curse word, but every word is a retort and every word is a slap in the face. He has done more than 99% of the people in the association!"

"The last sentence is awesome, don't stand in the sun...the sun is too dazzling! In other words: don't rely on your old age to show off your skills, and don't stand on the moral high ground!"

"I learned it. I'm going to review "Hunting"! From now on, I will use Director Lin's words when I fight against those who kidnap me morally!"

…

"I told you not to provoke him, but you didn't listen, right? After all these years, when did that kid ever give in? The relationship between Tian Zhuangzang and us has been at a standstill for so long!"

"I just want to hammer it out... The key is how to organize the Golden Rooster Film Festival next year? "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is very difficult to handle now. This is the task..."

"You can't do it this way even if it's difficult? Did you mess it up? Did you figure out the problem? And you were humiliated without using any curse words!"

"In the final analysis, that little brat is still a rebellious guy with no rules... When his qualifications are up and his hair is smoothed, I will naturally give him a reward..."

"Is it useful to say this? Is he a softie or not? How will this mess be dealt with in the future? "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was named above..."

…

There were many people watching the excitement in the circle, but no one expected that Lin Nan, who had quit the association for five years, could still be caused trouble and "conflict".

It can only be said that these old people and talkative people who are used to being praised highly are really restless and cannot understand the situation!

…………

At the end of the first day of National Day, although the film scheduling rate was cut by 10 points, it reached 36%.

But "Beautiful Heart" is still hanging on, as are all other films, including the six newly released films.

On the third day of release, the daily box office grossed another 110 million, and the box office trend continues to advance rapidly, which is enviable.

The industry still remembers what Ning Hao said when he led the team to promote this movie. Lin Nan’s investment accounted for as much as 50%.

This also means that Lin Nan Pictures will have another damn good year this year, and there will be not a few envious peers, but too many!

On the morning of the 2nd, news about two movies that have attracted much attention from the industry came out at the same time.

"Co-produced by True Music, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, and directed by Xu Zhanjiang, the third installment of the "囧" series, "囧", has officially launched in Shanghai!"

"Director Xu Zheng said frankly that although it was a pity that he could not gather the original cast, he believed that Bao Bei'er would never disappoint the audience."

"Enlight Pictures actor Bao Bei'er is very confident, saying that he has a professional background and is not inferior to Wang Baoqiang..."

…

"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Director Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Zhang Yuqi and others, the science fiction romance blockbuster "Mermaid" has a grand launch this morning in Pengcheng."

"After being kept secret for a long time, the male protagonist Deng Chao of "Mermaid" made his debut, joking to himself: The joy of being a "star boy" is finally no longer needed to be held in!"

"At the launch conference, Zhang Yuqi avoided talking about Wang Quan'an..."

…

In "Mermaid", it was Han Jianu who called Lin Nan. Just like the statement given to Xu Zheng before, he also refused to participate.

In the two days before Liu Yifei's departure, Lin Nan stayed at home with Miss Liu.

During this trip, she will first go to Hollywood to meet the crew.

The accompanying personnel include three assistants and two bodyguards. After all, the trip is not short, so you have to be well prepared.

If you need anything during the process, Crystal Pictures will always support you.

…

Facts have proven that after a dozen cuts, major changes, and re-dubbing, a drama will really become extremely bad, and Tangren has proved this point.

Cai Yinong is really perfunctory with the audience. The reputation of "Pocahontas" is simply unbearable, and the Internet is full of curses.

After just four episodes, this drama has already become the most failed TV drama of Tang Dynasty in so many years, and it is a bad drama that involves the first brother and the "first sister" at the same time!

I couldn't bear to spend money to reshoot it, and that's it. The plot was edited completely out of sequence, and the jumps were too much to watch; and both the lighting and photography were extremely rough, completely incomparable to the Tang Dynasty movies back then.

He mouths the names of historical figures such as "Huo Qubing", but the dubbing calls him something else. You can imagine how embarrassing it is!

"Pocahontas" can be regarded as a naked display of the current situation and shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty to the film and television industry!

Looking back on those days, a Zhouyi and a Tang Dynasty were both top companies in the field of TV dramas, but what about now?

Although the former is gone, it has been fully integrated into Lin Nan Pictures.

The filming team used to only shoot TV series, but now they shoot both movies and TV shows. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?

On the other hand, Tangren, although it has made it to the present, is already riddled with holes and has become a second- or third-rate film and television company.

To put it more absolutely, they are more like a brokerage company, all supported by Hu Ge and Liu Shishi!

On the morning of the 3rd, a flight from Hollywood landed at the Capital Airport.

The two giants Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures, with a team of 20 people in total, attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters.

The China Film Group team responsible for picking up the guests at the airport couldn't stop the media's cameras.

"Is there any big move in this battle?"

"Found it, the two foreigners in the lead are global business executives and one of the vice presidents of Legendary and Universal!"

"Damn it! So China Film Group has a cooperation project with them?"

"I'm just curious now, what kind of project can bring so many people from two major Hollywood studios?"

A group of reporters were chattering and analyzing, and the cameras in their hands never stopped shooting.

They know very well that this will most likely be big news in the film and television entertainment industry today or even within the next ten days and a half!

…

China Film.

La Peikang sat in the office, looking at the caller ID on his mobile phone with a joking expression.

When the secretary walked in and saw that La Peikang had no intention of answering the phone, he immediately reported:

"La Dong, people from Legend and Universal have already gone to the hotel where they are staying. Our people also told them that if you have time to meet tomorrow morning, they can come to China Film."

"Well, I understand, let's make arrangements for tomorrow morning.

Haha, you are still calling, are you well informed? "

La Peikang waved his hand, and the secretary understood instantly, turned around and walked out, taking him to the door.

"Hey, what could possibly cause Director Ren to call me three or four times in a row? I didn't answer and kept calling, haha..."

The mobile phone had external volume on, but there was a pause on the other side and it was very quiet.

Two seconds later, Ren Zhonglun's voice sounded, echoing in the huge office.

"La Dong, can China Film Group take on such a big project?"

"What project, why don't I know about it? What is Director Ren talking about?"

La Peikang joked calmly. He knew that Ren Zhonglun already knew, but he still acted carelessly.

"In terms of power, Shanghai Film is not as good as China Film, but in terms of information channels, Shanghai Film is not inferior to China Film. How long do you want to keep the co-production project with Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures a secret?"

"Oh, this matter. I didn't want to hide it. Didn't Director Ren already know about it? Didn't you call because of this matter? Haha..."

Although La Peikang said the words with a smile, the indifference in his tone was not hidden at all.

"La Dong, let's make a condition. How can Shanghai Film Group enter the game and get a piece of the pie?"

Ren Zhonglun's words sounded like a joke to La Peikang, extremely ridiculous.

"Director Ren, what are you thinking about? Is there anything in Shanghai Film Academy worth worrying about? It seems, not really?

You are very rich, and this is a big killer for Xiying and Ningying. But for China Film, that’s it. We have both, what do you think? "

Ren Zhonglun could not refute these words.

Looking at the domestic film and television industry, Shanghai Film and Television has always been unfavorable, but it will always be inferior to China Film and Television.

Because money is not as important as power, and what the two families want most is political achievements, there is a natural competition and conflict!

In terms of "achievement projects", China Film is far ahead of Shanghai Film.

Before calling this time, Ren Zhonglun had made a lot of determination and was even prepared for heavy bleeding, but he didn't expect that La Peikang would be so insecure.

"Shanghai Film Group can purchase investment shares at a premium of 50%."

"Director Ren, my point is very clear, money is the least valuable thing, haha..."

La Peikang still said decisively, laughing endlessly.

In his opinion, it is reasonable to give Lin Nan a share. After all, Lin Nan is expected to make movies.

Can I film it? Why? How much money is missing from China Film Group? joke!

…………

The film and television industry is already in an uproar, with people from China Film Group picking up the Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures teams at the airport.

People in the industry are speculating that there may be some movie projects to discuss.

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to this. He was currently answering Wu Ershan's call.

After nearly three months of filming, "The Secret of the Dragon" with an investment of 200 million has finally reached its final stage.

Just this morning, the crew officially opened the media tour to the outside world. I guess there will be news online in the afternoon.

"If it's almost the same, let the Tiangong people come back first. The closing banquet will be held in the capital. By the way, when do you estimate that the shooting will be completed?"

"Director Lin, I estimate it will be completed around the 10th, and all the special effects shots have been shot.

Some minor details and those that don't close the camera can be reshot after reshoots. The Tiangong Color Team will pack up their things in the afternoon and set off back to Beijing tomorrow. "

Hearing this, Lin Nan nodded subconsciously:

"That's good. With the IP blessing of this movie, your resume will take a big step forward. Well, that's it, I'll hang up now..."

Before Wu Ershan could react, Lin Nan had already ended the call because Liu Yifei was calling him to go next door for lunch.

The cast of "The Secret of the Dragon".

Looking at the hung up phone in his hand, Wu Ershan was a little helpless.

He originally wanted to test Lin Nan's tone. If he planned to shoot the series he had in mind in the future, could he ask Lin Nan Pictures for investment?

"Am I thinking a little too far? There is no shadow at all, haha..."

…

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoli served dishes to Liu Yifei and Lin Nan respectively.

"If you two have time, go and see him before the wedding next year. Don't wait until the wedding and just have a quick meeting... Even if he comes back, he won't be able to stay for too long."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, and they both knew who Liu Xiaoli was talking about.

"This "Interstellar" promotional trip includes Paris, and I will go see my father." Miss Liu looked at her mother and said softly.

Lin Nan also thought about it in his mind and came up with an idea:

"When Sissi and I attend the Berlin International Film Festival, we can take time to go to Paris together. The distance between the two cities is actually not that far, and it happens to be on the eve of the Chinese New Year."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Xiaoli suddenly showed a smile on her face, "Okay, okay. Then at that time, you two can go there together."
