That year Huayu

"Wolf Totem", "Heavenly Army", "Up to the Sky", "Macau 2", "Zhong Kui Conquers Demons: Snow Demon Spirit"...

Several domestic blockbusters, which have been waiting for success for a long time, finally hit theaters across the country in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The most brutal Spring Festival battle of the year has officially begun!

At the same time, Hollywood has also entered the warm-up stage of the Oscars ceremony, which is also full of people.

In the morning, after Liu Yifei took her assistant to do some business, Lin Nan was not idle either.

There were so many New Year greeting calls, text messages, social messages and Weibo messages from China that he could be overwhelmed.

Many of them had to be answered personally to show respect.

After all, these are the favors and etiquette that come and go during the Spring Festival, and they cannot be ignored or treated too perfunctorily.

"If you want to say New Year's greetings, please hurry up. I've been taking calls all day and I'm very tired."

Lin Nan said to Ning Hao on the other end of the phone, with a teasing tone.

"One day? It seems that everyone has been calling you since New Year's Eve last night. In Hollywood, it was indeed from morning to afternoon.

But it’s understandable. Who made you the newly promoted director with Golden Lion and Golden Bear? There are only three of you in the entire Chinese film industry! "

Lin Nan curled his lips and joked silently: "I've been tired of hearing this kind of flattery in the past few days. Can you change it to something fresh, Director Ning?"

"Ah? That's your uncle! I still want to hear other people flatter me like this, and you're still tired of it? It's really a drought that's going to kill me, and a flood that's going to kill me."

When Ning Hao heard this, he immediately cursed. But the next second, he changed the subject and wished New Year:

"Taking advantage of the New Year, I wish you and Yifei a successful Oscar ceremony in a few days.

Also, good news for you. The day you got the Golden Bear, Huanxi officially resumed trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But this news was completely suppressed by You's limelight, and..."

Hearing Ning Hao's words, Lin Nan instantly became energetic. He quickly searched on the tablet next to him.

On the 15th, I was happy that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially resumed trading and the shares began to circulate.

On the 17th, Tangde Pictures, a company held by Fan Bingbing and Zhao Yanzi, was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. They both appeared at the listing ceremony and spoke at the same time.

Of these two companies, one was listed through a backdoor listing. On the day of resumption of trading, its market value approached 10 billion, and finally fell to 8.9 billion;

The other is the IPO listing. On the day of listing, the market value soared to about 15 billion.

Two new capitals in the film and television industry have officially met with the industry.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a new year and new atmosphere. We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Director Ning's net worth has skyrocketed by more than ten to two billion! I have to wish you a good New Year, remember to support me when you come back, I wish you..."

"Haha, why do I think you are mocking me? Besides, the ban hasn't been lifted yet."

"Don't you also have a show-off attitude, Director Ning? Haha..."

Lin Nan continued to joke, but actually felt quite emotional.

The film and television industry has really entered an era where capital is flourishing. The film and television industry will become more and more interesting in the future.

After chatting with Ning Hao for more than half an hour, several phone calls didn't come in. Lin Nan didn't bother to call back, so he just replied via text message.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei came back.

During the day, she worked with her team to decide on the dress and look for the Oscars red carpet and award ceremony. Now we are waiting for that day.

"I also met the domestic media today. They were inquiring about the red carpet and awards ceremony. They also asked me if I knew about Tom Hanks' new movie. They said that Huang Shengyi would collaborate with him in a Hollywood blockbuster this year. .”

Liu Yifei changed into home clothes and talked to Lin Nan about today's events.

"Then they asked the wrong person. We basically don't care much about this."

Lin Nan replied to Liu Yifei without raising his head. He was reading the message from Happy Mahua.

The review of "Charlotte Trouble" encountered some problems and was rejected the day before yesterday.

Just like the problems that Yan Fei was worried about before, some lines and scenes in "Charlotte Trouble" were required to be modified.

"Huh? Do you want to delete it?"

Liu Yifei came to Lin Nan's side, looked at the messages on the tablet, and asked.

"If you don't delete it, don't change it. After deleting it, it will lose its taste. After we return to China, I will communicate with the higher-ups and ask the Children's Bureau for help."

Lin Nan decided and edited a message and sent it back to Yan Fei.

The film industry is like this, and censorship can be accommodating. The bigger the director, the more he will be taken care of, unless it is sensitive content.

But Lin Nan disagreed with Chen Kaige's "accommodating" result of retaining the role of Prince Long!

Because this is no longer "care", but a disregard for rules and social impact. Public opinion will definitely explode by then!

…………

The domestic film market has once again made Hollywood salivate.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival, the single-day box office of the movie market exceeded 300 million, approaching 400 million.

"Army" took the top spot with a first-day box office of 120 million, contributing one-third of the market.

On the first day of its release, "Wolf Totem" grossed 33 million at the box office. It received an overwhelming reputation and ranked first among film critics! It is foreseeable that the film's schedule and daily box office will continue to rise.

As for other movies, it's really hard to describe in one word.

The variety show film "Where Are We Going, Dad 2", which was denounced by most of the industry, lost the ferocity of the first season movie and simply fell into the dust.

The performance of "Up in the Sky" was mediocre, and fewer and fewer mainland audiences are interested in Hong Kong films.

The most controversial movie is "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demons: Snow Demon Spirit" with an investment cost of 200 million.

The box office revenue on the first day was 64 million, and there was a lot of criticism online.

A large number of negative movie reviews can be summed up in one sentence: The special effects of Tiangong Colors are good, but the plot of the movie is extremely bad, and it is indescribably bad! I can't see Chen Kun's acting skills at all...

For the mainland film and television circles, the Spring Festival is still going on, with celebrities making various announcements and programs, and entertainment information is quite rich.

The four New Year specials of "Running Man" have also started to be played. Other variety shows are even more incomparable.

But at this time, some media's attention and lenses have turned to Hollywood.

After all, in less than three days, the Oscar awards ceremony will begin.

In this year's Oscars, not only is Lin Nan competing for the statuette for the second time with "Manchester by the Sea";

In addition, Huang Shengyi, who has been highly hyped by domestic public opinion and has been widely announced, will appear at the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and the Academy Awards ceremony.

The latter will join hands with Tom Hanks on the red carpet of the Academy Awards, and the two will collaborate in a Chinese-American co-production blockbuster as the leading actor and actress.

For the media and the film and television entertainment industry, if the co-production project mentioned by Juli Pictures is true, then Huang Shengyi will be the third young mainland actress to serve as the heroine of a Hollywood blockbuster after Liu Yifei and Jing Tian.

In addition, Juli Pictures even made some hype at noon on the 19th, touching on Lin Nan’s topic:

"The company's artist Huang Shengyi and his team have left for Hollywood this morning, looking forward to witnessing Director Lin Nan's trophy-winning moment at the Dolby Theater... This will be a grand event for Chinese filmmakers..."

In fact, many media and celebrities have already set off for Hollywood, including Zhang Ziyi, who just got engaged.

For actresses, no one will be absent from the annual Oscars red carpet without any reason. This is also a very rare resource. The premise is that the way celebrities get invitations is not to keep them out of the spotlight or on the stage.

…………

After 5 months, the preliminary preparations for "The Great Wall" are almost 80% completed.

So in the past two days, Legendary and Universal have written about this project in Hollywood.

Because this movie is bound to receive "strong support" from the Chinese market, unlike other Hollywood blockbusters that may be targeted or given "special care" in the world's second largest film market and placed in a very unpopular schedule.

"The Great Wall" was so hyped in Hollywood that Lin Nan even received a message from Warner Bros. asking about "Pacific Rim 2."

"Lin, this is the red carpet arrangement for "Manchester by the Sea". Leon will rush back from the set on the 21st, the morning of the day after tomorrow. After a day's rest, preparations will begin on the morning of the 22nd..."

Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan looked at the notice sent by the organizing committee and nodded.

"Yes, I understand. When the time comes, Yifei will separate from us and go to meet Nolan and the others in advance. You can make some more arrangements. No, you can take someone to follow her there in person." Lin Nan instructed.

"Okay, Lin, no problem. But having said that, you are really an excellent husband. Haha..."

Hearing Tom's words, Lin Nan's expression froze. He was used to hearing this guy flatter Liu Yifei, but at first hearing that guy flattering himself, he was a little uncomfortable!

"After attending the Oscar ceremony, Sissi and I will return to China. There is a high probability that I will not come to Hollywood again within this year. Please keep an eye on the company's affairs. If you have anything else important, call me. .”

"Hey, just because you don't come to Hollywood doesn't mean I can't go to China! Aren't you and Crystal going to have a wedding this year?

When I met James before, he was still asking me if you would send out wedding invitations in Hollywood. "

What Tom said really reminded Lin Nan. At that time, we have to compile the invitation list from Hollywood.

"There will be him."

…

In a blink of an eye, Hollywood time has arrived on the 20th.

The climax of the awards season is finally about to usher in the last dazzling fireworks, which is the ultimate sublimation and release.

At the same time, Liu Yifei also had many more phone calls.

Either the call was from Hongxingwu, or it was from contacts with other insiders in the country.

Each one of them was well versed in the strategies of "pillow style" and "lady's route", which left Lin Nan speechless.

"When they call you, they can only say a dry blessing and be careful when joking; but when they call me, they can talk about other things and enhance the relationship. So, Director Lin, you should thank me. I am Good wife!"

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a arrogant smile. The calls just hung up belonged to Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun and others.
