That year Huayu

The Internet has not calmed down yet, and Xiao Wang is still fighting.

But "One Step Away" has completely fallen to 513 million, which is "out of reach" from the original goal of starting at 1 billion and sprinting to 2 billion.

Eye-catching words such as "Jiang Wen is conceited" and "myth shattered" have appeared in the headlines or hot searches of many film and television entertainment news, and the number of clicks has soared.

In general, it is because "Let the Bullets Fly" is so excellent and has such a great reputation that it has left a very deep impression on countless audiences and movie fans.

So much so that by comparison, "One Step Away" seems to be a "big bad movie".

After all, Jiang Wen had nearly blown the world away before. He spoke so eloquently that the audience's expectations were infinitely raised by him.

As a result, everyone was dumbfounded when they entered the theater. Is this it? What is this?

It would be damned if everyone's negative emotions weren't high right now. Even the loyal fans are silent because they really don’t understand!

In the morning, Lin Nan left the first film press conference of "Army of Heaven" midway.

After returning to the company, he was still lamenting that these media reporters were simply crazy.

It was obviously a press conference for a movie, but all the questions they were asked were about Prince Long, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Shanghai Film and Huayi were even more ruthless and simply canceled the media question-and-answer session.

A reporter still persisted in questioning Jackie Chan, and then his microphone was snatched away. The press conference immediately became chaotic.

"Director Lin, there are rumors that Director Li An is returning to China to raise investment for a new film?"

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't the news in the circle a little too late? And it's not accurate!"

"Could it be fake?"

"It's not false. But where is he trying to attract investment? How can he be so high-minded about attracting investment?

He is giving "charity" to these crooks, so that they can have the opportunity to scramble to send money so that they can participate in Hollywood movie projects! "

Yue Jun and Lin Nan had worked together for many years. How could he not hear the ridicule and sarcasm in the latter's words? He was very surprised for a moment.

"He approached me in Hollywood a few days ago. But I didn't take the initiative and gave him the idea of ​​returning to China."

At this moment, Yue Jun completely understood that this was a new movie that was not optimistic about Li An!

After such an interruption, Lin Nan suddenly remembered Ren Zhonglun's appearance when he saw him more than two hours ago.

Is there something wrong with Chairman Ren's expression at the beginning? It wasn't until the press conference officially started that there was a hint of "forced smile".

Could it be that he has already had a confrontation with La Peikang?

If this is the case, then you can understand that you are definitely feeling unhappy and angry after falling behind!

Yue Jun stayed in Lin Nan's office for a few minutes and then returned to the third floor, where auditions were still going on piecemeal.

Director Lin Da remembered what happened to Ma Chun yesterday and immediately called Jiang Wenli.

"Director Lin?"

At this time, Ma Chun was at Jiang Wenli's home.

Hearing her aunt's voice, the latter immediately sat up straight on the sofa and listened with her ears straightened up.

"Sister Wen Li, Director Guo Ban said that Ma Chun was the one to choose. His evaluation was quite good:

His acting skills are good, better than many professional actors of the same age. It is very suitable for modern dramas and has strong plasticity. It is a piece of rough jade. "

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Jiang Wenli suddenly laughed out loud:

"I'm really grateful to Director Guo. Si Chun can't afford this comment. Also, I have to thank Director Lin for giving her this opportunity so that she could get the role.

Another day, Director Gu and I will host a party for Director Lin and Yifei..."

After a few minutes, the call hung up.

Jiang Wenli looked at her niece with a happy face and smiled and nodded:

"Are you relieved now? You have adjusted your condition recently and are ready to join the group at any time.

Act well, and if you work together for the first time, you will get a second chance. Lin Nan Pictures likes to use familiar people. "

"Yeah. Auntie, I've been preparing. I won't be perfunctory."

…………

December is coming to an end and there are only two days left.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's flight is scheduled for January 7th.

They will leave for Hollywood five days in advance to prepare for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

At the same time, the call from Noon Sunshine came too late. It was only at the end of the month that the role could be decided.

"For the core cast, we used some of the leading actors from the previous "Nirvana in Fire". The other main roles were selected through re-auditions.

Lin Nan was answering the phone at home while looking at the email sent by Sunshine at Noon on his tablet - the list of fixed roles and resume!

"When are you going to start filming?"

"Early next month."

Lin Nan was stunned when he heard this time.

The interval between casting and filming of a TV series is less than two weeks! Isn't this a bit rushed?

Perhaps sensing Lin Nan's surprise, Hou Hongliang specifically explained:

"This is the schedule arranged by the Chedun Film and Television Base. Don't worry, Director Lin, Director Li Chong will be fine. We have everything ready."

Okay, the other person said so, so Lin Nan stopped worrying about this issue.

"Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai, Song...Yi?"

Looking at the actress who looked familiar but couldn't remember her on her resume, Lin Nan's tone unconsciously became higher.

"Director Lin knows Song Yi? She is a drama actress with a background in Chinese opera."

After hearing the reminder, Lin Nan remembered that when he went to China Theater to promote "Genius Gunslinger", he had been recommended there.

"I'm not familiar with it, so let's leave it at that. Director Jiang will handle the production of this TV series, and Producer Hou will just contact her later."

"Yeah, no problem."

Lin Nan didn't mention changing actors, so Hou Hongliang wouldn't talk too much to make trouble.

In fact, it's not that Lin Nan forgot about it, it's just that he really doesn't like it.

The core protagonist of "The Pretender" is the "Four Brothers and Sisters of the Ming Family". Shanhai Media did not have suitable actors, and he was even less interested in the supporting roles.

…

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and warm, just right.

Liu Yifei and Lin Nan sat side by side in rocking chairs, leaning against each other and basking in the sun.

"Teacher Cao Baoping has submitted "The Murderer" for review."

Miss Liu was wearing women's sunglasses and shaking the tablet in her hand for Lin Nan to look at.

Director Lin Da said softly "Hmm" and said lazily: "I know, the company invested in it."

After taking a glance, Lin Nan saw not only the report of "The Murderer", but also "Wolf Warrior".

No wonder Liu Yifei kept pushing him, she was just showing off!

"Wholely produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, the new movie script "The Murderer" was submitted for review.

Director Cao Baoping said that he will immediately start casting matters to prepare for the start of the movie..."

"With an investment of 80 million from Hongxingwu, it is directed by Wu Dan and stars Wu Dan, Yu Nan, Scott Adkins, Ni Dahong and others.

The military-themed action movie "Wolf Warrior" passed the review of the Film Bureau today and was issued a release permit! "

"Co-produced by Xinghui, China Film, Shanghai Film and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Zhou Xingchi, starring Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Zhang Yuqi and others.

The investment amount is as high as 300 million, the sci-fi comedy romance film "Mermaid", open to the outside world for media visits..."

"The third part of the "囧" series, "囧 in Hong Kong", is open for exploration activities starting today..."

…

Lin Nan rowed for a long time, all the movie information.

The two movies "Mermaid" and "囧" can be opened for exploration, which means that they are about to be completed.

"Ah, Xie Nan called!" Liu Yifei said in surprise, then answered the call and turned on the external voice.

"I'm free now, do you want to buy me coffee?" Liu Yifei said jokingly.

"Producer Liu is really telepathic. I'm just here to treat you to coffee. By the way, is Director Lin here, together?"

"He? He's right next to me, very free."

"Then let's come out and get together. Our old Mr. Wu is deciding on a schedule."

Sure enough, Xie Nan’s call was for business!

Lin Nan nodded to Liu Yifei, who immediately replied: "Wait, we will be there in a moment."

…

Bona, in the chairman's office, Fatty Yu is not in a good mood at the moment.

First he was beaten by Shanghai Film Group Corporation, and then he was warned by China Film Group Corporation. He didn't dare to think about Li An's "Proportion Lynn's Midfield War".

But what made him feel angry was that Cao Baoping actually released a new film here without communicating with Bona at all!

He originally thought that after "prying" Cao Baoping, he would be able to cooperate from now on, but he didn't expect that the other party would go back to find Lin Nan. Isn't that just intervening in the casting and production?

"How long will it take for China Star to arrive?"

"Dr. Yu, it will probably take more than half a year. In addition to a lot of pre-production design such as styling, costumes, scenes, etc., it will also take a lot of time to negotiate with so many big-name actors and adjust their schedules."

"Well, more than half a year, more than half a year. Hurry over there and try to be as quick as possible."

"Okay, Director Yu. But, Director Yu, will the investment cost be too high? Neither China Star nor we have this experience!"

"There are only a few directors in China who have experience in directing films with an investment cost of 300 million or more. Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen... Can they come? Worrying. This kind of movie mainly focuses on special effects. And the story has Ready-made templates ready for adaptation!”

Yu Dong swore to give instructions to his secretary. .

…………

On the last day of December, the last day of the year.

During the National Day holiday more than two months ago, Ning Hao, the newly promoted director in the 1 billion box office club and the fourth in the Chinese film industry, finally met the entire film and television industry as a "capital".

As soon as the news came out, everyone in the industry was shocked.

“The original Hong Kong listed company 21 Holdings was officially renamed Huanxi Pictures after being jointly acquired by three individuals and partners, Dong Ping, Director Ning Hao, and Director Xu Zheng.

After several months of restructuring, Huanxi Pictures officially submitted its resumption application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today..."

Major media, portals, news headlines, and Weibo hot searches were all filled with this news, and countless people in the industry were stunned.

There are only four directors in the 1 billion box office club in the Chinese film industry, and Huanxi Pictures has two of them? !

In the opinion of many people in the industry, although this company is a backdoor listing, it really should not be underestimated.

Just because it has two original shareholders, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, directors of the 1 billion box office club, Huanxi Pictures is not inferior to those medium-sized film and television groups that have been listed through IPO in terms of momentum!

Backdoor listed companies like Hairun were simply crushed by Huanxi Pictures!

"Mimi, this promotion method is only suitable for big directors, because they are potential capital, and once they are promoted, they will be at the top..."

…

"Congratulations, Director Ning. No, Director Ning!"

"What? I am currently an independent director. I will remove it later. I will not participate in the operation of Huanxi, nor will I hold any position. Continue to guard my bad monkey, just like your identity on Weibo.

Of course, far less than you. Am I right, Lin Dahu? Hahaha……"

Ning Hao said this, but Lin Nan could still hear the uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

How could someone working in the film and television industry not want to become capital? If you can't become capital, you can only be a tool, and you will be a worker for the rest of your life!

"By the way, how much money do you have now? I see that the market value of Weibo has increased a lot since its listing."

"Curiosity killed the cat, Director Ning!"
