That year Huayu

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, starring Liu Ye, Zhang Yi, Wang Ziwen and others.

The black humor suspense movie "The Murderer" officially started shooting in Caiyunzhinan this morning. "

"He Jong's first film directorial debut, the youth-themed film "Gardenia Blooms" held a launch ceremony in Beijing.

Popular A-list youngster Li Yifeng, young girl Zhang Huiwen, Tang Dynasty young boy Jiang Jinfu and others participated in the starring roles. "

"Starring more than a dozen powerful actors including Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Tadanobu Asano, Chung Xintong, Ni Dahong, and Yuan Quan.

The large-scale spy suspense movie "The Death of Romance" was officially completed yesterday evening. Since the film was launched, it has been kept extremely low-key and confidential..."

Lin Nan crossed her legs and leaned on the sofa to browse entertainment information.

He looked up at the assistants who were busy working in the living room, and then glanced in the direction of Liu Yifei's boudoir on the second floor.

Miss Liu is putting on makeup at the moment, while Liu Xiaoli is inside giving instructions to her daughter, probably about going to Paris during the film festival.

Lin Nan was mentally prepared for this trip to Berlin. He and Liu Yifei would have a busy schedule.

"Director Lin, we are almost done packing. All the luggage has been put into the trunk." Liu Yifei's assistant reminded.

"Thank you for your hard work. You guys should take a rest first. It's still early, so there's no rush."

Lin Nan nodded in agreement. On this trip, he and Liu Yifei will bring a total of eight assistants and bodyguards, two less than last time, but enough.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Putting down the tablet, Lin Nan answered the phone.

"You're really good at timing. If it's an hour later, I might turn off my phone."

"Because I was not sure about the flight time of Director Lin and Yifei, I called as soon as I arrived at the company. Well, it's only 8:05 now."

Yue Jun said with a smile. This time, Hongxingwu was responsible for the air tickets for Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and his party, so he naturally didn't know the flight information.

"Tell me. If you are calling at this time, you must have something serious to do."

"Well, that's right. This morning, Lu Han's agent will bring him to the company for an interview.

Another said that other variety shows were also in contact and extended invitations. I simply brushed it off and eliminated it. I was too short-sighted..."

Yue Jun told Lin Nan before that after analysis, the team is more optimistic about artists such as Lu Han and Zhang Yixing.

They have high popularity and a huge fan base. Their positioning is completely different from other regular guests of "Running Man", and their market complementarity is very high.

"Okay, you and the team can figure it out. If, I'm talking about if, if it is confirmed that he will be signed, we will not accept their external 'inflated' offer in terms of salary. We will talk to his agent. speak clearly."

"Director Lin, I understand. In fact, Lu Han is also a smart person over there and has no works. What he is consuming now is just the popularity he accumulated in the boy band. They are more anxious than anyone else. The acting school and the idol school are the most suitable for Lu Han. Or the latter."

Yue Jun's words contained a tone of assurance, and his analysis was quite accurate.

Lin Nan heard it. Yue Jun and his team had basically settled on 50% of the contract. As long as the remuneration was negotiated, Lu Han would almost be cast.

"Do a good job of keeping it confidential, and don't let any news leak out at least until the investment is launched next month. Then, let's give everyone a surprise."

"No problem. That's it. I wish Director Lin a smooth trip to Berlin and a golden bear."

"I hope so."

Just after hanging up the phone, the movement upstairs attracted Lin Nan's attention. Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli came out.

"Mom, Sissi, it's not half past eight yet. Please stay at home for a while. We won't leave until after nine."

"The relationship is good, let me stay close to you for a while."

Liu Yifei wore a khaki casual windbreaker, jeans, and light makeup with bright eyes and white teeth.

She ran to Lin Nan in a few steps, leaned against him, rubbed lazily, found a comfortable position, and then picked up the tablet.

"As you wish."

Looking at her lazy daughter, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but smile.

…………

At early ten o'clock in the morning, there was a commotion outside the Capital Airport.

Many media reporters chase actors and stars who are protected by assistants and staff in order to obtain news materials.

Many tourists came and went with their mobile phones, stopping to take photos or asking for autographs.

"What time is this this morning?"

"I forgot. But Li Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi this morning are not as 'big' as her, they are just pretentious!"

"Hey, who is Xu Cairen from the Beijing circle? She also has popular fried chicken on the side. I just don't know how much the copyright of her movie can be sold for in Berlin?"

"Most likely to be at the bottom! The other Spring Festival movies either feature big-name actors or big directors. Hers? Haha, the leading actor Wu Yifan is not even a professional actor, let alone a talented person. He is just fooling fans... …”

"Hey... come on... Director Lin..."

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared outside the airport surrounded by eight people, the already excited media reporters suddenly became even more agitated.

Especially Director Lin was pushing one of the big suitcases, and Liu Yifei, whose face was covered in black, was sitting on it! This picture is simply stunning!

"Quick, let me down."

Miss Liu stretched her legs and immediately got up from the suitcase. She carried her bag and followed Lin Nan calmly. The playful energy just now disappeared in an instant.

"Director Lin, what are your expectations for being shortlisted for the Berlin Main Competition for the third time?"

"Your question is a bit funny. I can't expect it to be worse than the previous two times, right?" Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"That's the Golden Bear?!"

"Which filmmaker shortlisted for the main competition section does not have this goal? It is hypocritical to say no or to say that nomination means yes!"

Lin Nan's subconscious words slapped many colleagues in the face without saving any face.

Liu Yifei also pulled his sleeve vaguely, but it was too late.

"With Yifei in charge, Director Lin will definitely win the Berlin International Film Festival as well as the Golden Globe!"

"Nothing wrong, the original Golden Lion Award was awarded to Yifei..."

"hehe thanks……"

Miss Liu smiled happily and accepted all the compliments.

Seeing a group of ten people entering the departure hall, the media couldn't help but sigh:

"These are the two big names who talk best today!"

"Not just today."

"Yes, he is one of the few people in the industry who has never shown any shame to us! Of course, the premise is that he doesn't do any evil things."

"I think of Director Chen again. He always looks at people with a condescending look... He is not as approachable as his wife..."

…

As 11 o'clock approaches, a lot of information about mainland filmmakers, actors and stars rushing to Berlin has appeared on the Internet, all from this morning.

"Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming...Xu Jinglei, Wu Yifan...Feng Shaofeng, Fan Bingbing and many other actors and artists appeared at the airport..."

"The film crews of "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon: Snow Demon", "Wolf Totem", "There's a Place Only We Know"... "Army of Heaven", "The Taiping Wheel" and other films will appear on the red carpet of the Berlin International Film Festival. Corresponding films Screenings, promotions, and copyright transactions will be conducted during the festival."

"Directors Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were interviewed at the airport. The former said bluntly that all those shortlisted for the main competition are looking forward to the Best Picture Award. There is no need to be too humble or even hypocritical."

"Director Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea" competes in the Berlin International Film Festival's main competition for the third time, aiming for the Golden Bear Award for Best Film."

…

"He really dares to say that! Which director in China has never been 'hypocritical'? He has ridiculed them all! It's good to be young."

Han Sanping sat in the yard basking in the sun, watching the news, laughing and cursing.

At this time, Han Jianu stood at the door of the villa and shouted, "Old Han, I have your phone number."

"Every day, old Han, old Han, no matter how big or small, I will be pissed off by you sooner or later."

Although "Mountain Eagle" was cursing, there was a loving smile on his face. Who allowed him to have this only daughter in his thirties? This is it!

"With your body, can't you live a long life? If you are really worried, then it is better to choose a different day... Can you give me your house in the next few days?"

Han Jia Nu said with a playful smile that the way father and daughter get along is very "harmonious".

"I, 伱, you should move out. Or I can find a crew for you and throw them in..."

Hearing this, Han Ga Nyeo instantly turned into a "little cotton-padded jacket".

"Oh, please answer the phone. It's the same people, they're so annoying."

Hearing what Han Jianu said, Han Sanping's legs stopped after taking a few steps, with a look of disgust and disgust on his face: "Tell them I'm not here."

"That's what I said. But?"

"But what?"

"I don't know which one it is over there. He said that your performance of 'Mountain Eagle' was very good and could win an award."

Han Jianu spread her hands and smiled heartlessly.

"Haha, it's really his uncle... Let's go and listen to how they tell jokes."

…………

It has been more than 10 months since "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" was launched in early April last year.

For the film industry, this martial arts series, exclusively produced by Lin Nan Films and written by Lin Nan himself, has always been the focus of everyone's attention.

In particular, this second part took much longer than the first part, which made the industry even more curious.

In the afternoon, news of the final release of the second part of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series finally came out.

It’s just that this schedule is a bit jaw-dropping to the entire film industry;

Almost everyone in the circle unconsciously widened their eyes when they saw the news.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed and written by Lin Nan, directed by Lu Yang, starring Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie and others.

The second part of the ancient martial arts series "Xiu Chun Dao" "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" passed the review of the Film Bureau this morning and was issued a release permit. "

"Lin Nan Pictures' official website and official Weibo released a release announcement, and Enlight Pictures forwarded it: the martial arts movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" is scheduled for the summer and will be released nationwide on July 3."

This movie information really shocked the film industry.

July 3rd?

This date is simply not too dazzling!

The industry clearly remembers that just a few days ago, director Chen Da's first Republic of China martial arts film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was scheduled to be released on July 3rd!

The two martial arts movies are less than half a month apart and are scheduled to be released on the same day.

What is this for? Fighting? Head-to-head competition?

After the shock, the Internet and the circle became extremely lively.

"This is interesting. For the first time, a director in the industry and a film of the same type dare not give Director Chen face and choose to 'fight' head-on!"

"They are both martial arts movies, and they are released on the same day. It's not scary to fight head-on, but I'm afraid that if one side loses too badly, it would be too embarrassing!"

"By the way, are you going to director Chen Kaige?"

"Bullshit, why can't "Xiu Chun Dao 2" go to such a big summer festival? Director Chen should be confident, all opponents are paper tigers!"

"Tsk, tsk, but over the years... Director Chen has become less and less like a tiger... Only the tiger's power of the past is left, but the fangs and claws are missing..."

"It's also a good thing. Putting two martial arts movies by great directors on the same day is also a big promotional selling point! They can complement each other..."

…

"Is Lin Nan trying to stir up trouble? Or is Lu Yang just trying to play something big?"

"Chen Kaige is so angry right now? Being provoked like this by a 'junior'."

"Let him act cool all day long, and Lin Nan will win a prize. He will sound like a senior every time and give advice. Now, Lu Yang goes up and does it."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you will suffer losses whether you win or lose. If he wins, he, the great director of the Palme d'Or, should win; but if he loses, then..."

…

"Producer Chen Hong said: Multiple films of the same type compete with each other, which is conducive to the prosperity of the film market and enriches audience choices..."

"Director Lu Yang updated his Weibo: Learning from Director Chen and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series still has a lot of room for improvement. I look forward to both movies being successful and carving up the summer director market in July..."

…

Although everything is on track, the fact that "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is scheduled to be released on July 3 still makes Chen Kaige feel a little "suffocated" and a little angry.

"Whether it's Lin Nan's idea or Lu Yang's, it doesn't matter. After watching the first part of "Xiu Chun Knife", I don't think his second part is that amazing.

I am absolutely sure about "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". Whether it is the depth, artistic conception or layout of the film, it is unmatched by other martial arts movies. "

Chen Kaige's attitude of having wisdom in hand and not arguing with his juniors is very "everyone's style".

Chen Hong held a cup of tea and handed it over with both hands, "That's the truth. In fact, putting two movies together will be good for each other's publicity, right?"

"Yeah. Lin Nan should have arrived in Berlin, right?"

"Calculate the time, it should be almost here."

Suddenly, Director Chen seemed to have remembered something unpleasant, and his face lost its expression.

As someone who has been my bed partner for many years, Chen Hong can certainly see that everything is because of the awards.

Chen Kaige really needs a second international film festival award, preferably one from the top three in Europe. All it takes is one more Best Picture, or even Best Director trophy, and he will truly be a "master."

The last time, it was almost, that is, "Mei Lanfang" was shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival 6 years ago, but the final result was nothing.

Berlin time, early 12 noon.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's flight landed slowly at Berlin Airport.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Berlin International Film Festival is already very strong.

Filmmakers, crews, and media from all over the world are gathering here one after another.

There is even a motorcade of the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee standing guard outside the airport, specially designed to pick up certain specially invited filmmakers and go to the designated hotel.
