That year Huayu

“I have the Golden Lion, the Golden Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear, the Golden Ball, the Oscar, well, plus the Golden Horse.

I have so many awards, I don’t care about a golden rooster. Why go? Why do you want to support those old guys? Do you feel disgusted with yourself? "

Lin Nan continued talking to himself, and the dishes he had picked up with the serving chopsticks fell down again.

La Peikang and Han Sanping looked at each other. They knew very well that there was nothing wrong with Lin Nan's words.

For Lin Nan, in terms of awards, the Golden Rooster is indeed dispensable and cannot be on the stage, not even comparable to the Golden Horse. Can……

"Since you don't care, why don't you go there once?"

"Haha, Director Han, I am not a stupid young man who just entered school. This kind of irritation is too childish. Stop talking about it."

Lin Nan smiled and put down his chopsticks completely. It seems that we can have a nice dinner with Miss Liu and the others in the afternoon today.

There was a brief silence at the dinner table.

"Can't you really think about it again?" La Peikang still held out hope.

"I won't go. In these years, I haven't scolded them like Feng Xiaogang on the Internet, and I haven't ridiculed Golden Rooster like many directors. I'm already very cultivated. It's best for everyone to stay out of trouble and tell them not to mess with me."

Lin Nan looked directly at La Peikang and Han Sanping and expressed his attitude once again.

I saw that the expressions of the two people opposite me were a little helpless, or rather entangled.

Finally, Han Sanping sighed and signaled to La Peikang: "You'd better talk to him."

La Peikang nodded. Han Sanping was indeed not good at ideological work. His style had always been vigorous and resolute.

Lin Nan leaned back in the chair and already had the idea of ​​leaving China Film.

"Lin Nan..."

"La Dong, if there is anything else, let's finish it all at once. Zhou Xun and the others are coming to visit us today, and I am in a hurry to go back."

Both of them could tell that Lin Nan had lost his patience, or that today's meal was already showing signs of "unhappy ending".

"Actually, at the end of last year, China Film Group also had the idea of ​​letting you go to Golden Rooster with "Taking Tiger Mountain", but it was just an idea. After all, is this a political achievement?

But for the association, this is a ‘mission’. You should know what the word ‘mission’ means? "

For the first time today, Lin Nan's expression turned serious. Task means the above meaning.

"More than a week ago, the bureau held a meeting, and I was kept by the Children's Bureau for half an hour. Then, the association's mission became China Film's mission!

Leaders will not force you, but the task is the task! "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is indeed well-deserved...and your current honor...must be awarded. "

"Leaders will not force, but the task is the task..."

Lin Nan muttered this sentence, it was really an 'art of language'.

"What if I insist on not going?"

Lin Nan did not relent, and remained firm. He would never go to Jinji.

If I go, what does it count? What a joke? What's the spread? Bow? Subdued?

Seeing that Lin Nan still had this attitude, Han Sanping couldn't help but said:

"I knew you had this attitude before. The idea I gave was to bypass you, sign up with China Film Group, and then slowly apologize to you later. Although this method is indeed a bad idea that has to be done out of necessity, China Film Group also has the same difficulties as China Film Group. ...the location is here.

La Dong means to talk openly with you. This is not a matter of signing up or not at all. This is a reward that the superiors want and should give. After all, it is a typical example.

You don’t have to give Jinji face, or even openly criticize them, but you can at least take care of the face of the relevant departments? How about asking the leaders of the General Administration to talk to you personally? Let Tong Bureau..."

Lin Nan closed her eyes and listened to Han Sanping's words, feeling really sick at this moment.

"Let China Film Group sign up... You don't have to participate, you don't have to show up. This is a good compromise for everyone above, below, and everyone. What do you think?"

La Peikang's voice sounded in Lin Nan's ears.

Lin Nan heard that this was not asking for his opinion or attitude, this was something that China Film Group had basically decided;

It's just that I didn't choose to hide it, but told him frankly, most likely hoping to get his "understanding".

When I opened my eyes again after a long time, there was already some bloodshot eyes inside. Lin Nan knew that he could not change this result.

"Are you done?

The task is not my task; even if I don't let "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" go to the Golden Rooster, the superiors will not force me.

In the final analysis, China Film Group is still willing to take on this task. After all, is it political achievement..."

The atmosphere was a bit cold, and La Peikang couldn't find anything to say to refute for a while. Han Sanping had already realized something was wrong.

"Lin Nan?"

"La Dong, this meal is good, thank you. But I have to save my stomach and go home to entertain guests. It's almost time, so I'll leave first."

As he spoke, Lin Nan stood up.

As if nothing happened just now, he said goodbye with a smile on his face.

Watching his figure walking away step by step, La Peikang asked:

"Lin Nan, what about the golden rooster?"

Han Sanping originally wanted to stop him, but his reaction was still half a beat too slow.

“Since China Film has already decided, there’s no need to ask me anything else, it’s superfluous.

But how I face the media and speak after that is my business. I will not attend the Golden Rooster. La Dong..."

Lin Nan's voice became farther and farther away, until along with his figure, he completely disappeared from the sight of La Peikang and Han Sanping.

"You shouldn't ask. You can ask him again another day."

Han Sanping picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into his mouth. He had a bad feeling.

La Peikang frowned, "I think there won't be any problem?"

From the small auditorium to the main entrance of China Film Academy, the journey that originally took three to five minutes seemed to have taken Lin Nan ten minutes.

Standing outside, he turned back and stared at the door of Zhongying, and did not look away for a long time.

"La Dong, this is a very valuable lesson... From now on, business is business."

After a few minutes, Lin Nan walked decisively towards the big G parked not far away - to go home.

…………

The "battlefield" for the dinner party was moved by Liu Yifei from Liu Xiaoli's villa to Lin Nan's because the place was more spacious.

After all, there are not so many swings, rocking chairs, vegetable gardens, gardens and pavilions in Lin Nan. The most important thing is that there are no groups of cats and dogs.

When Lin Nan arrived home, it happened to be 12:20 noon.

A group of people were on the lawn of the villa, eating snacks and chatting and laughing in the warm sunshine.

When they saw the big black G driving directly into the garage, everyone knew that the real owner was back.

"Yifei, call the restaurant quickly, the food delivery time is late!" Zhou Xun hurriedly called Liu Yifei while chewing melon seeds.

"I guess Director Lin must not have had a few bites at China Film Academy. He was in a hurry to come back to entertain us."

Huang Xiaoming stood up from the rocking chair with a smile, ready to greet him.

"I'm hungry, Sissy."

Shu Chang held the civet cat from next door in his arms and looked at Liu Yifei "miserably".

"Wait for me to call to urge you."

Liu Yifei said as she walked into the living room of the villa.

Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin held pokers in their hands and were in a state of anxiety, with no time to interrupt.

There was no strange emotion on Lin Nan's face. The "unhappy breakup" at China Film Group an hour ago seemed not to exist.

"I said you came to celebrate the New Year, did you bring any gifts? Don't just eat and drink. Hey, don't glare at me. I'm talking about you. Put down our cat."

From a distance, Lin Nan started joking.

"whispering sound!"

"I brought it, I brought a bag of melon seeds, no, everyone has already eaten them!" Zhou Xun joked with a smile.

"We are just making small fuss, but the leader is so generous that he brought you two boxes of red wine, as well as several boxes of sea cucumbers and dried abalone for you, Director Lin..."

Huang Bo grabbed a good hand of cards, turned his head and sighed. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin all nodded.

"This is the way to celebrate the New Year when visiting relatives." Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.

Lin Nan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say about Master Huang. He was such a good person.

"The wine has been put in the wine storage room, and the ingredients have been moved next door."

Liu Yifei came out of the villa and winked at Lin Nan with a cheerful expression.

Then she looked at everyone again. The hostess's posture was very precise: "We can start dinner in about twenty minutes."

With Lin Nan joining in, the courtyard instantly became more lively.

"Get out of here!" The crew of "Tumor King" is off today, so Liu Yifei postponed the dinner party today just to wait for Shu Chang and Luo Jin.

As for others, they have either just finished filming, such as Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo; or they will have announcements and filming appointments only after some time, such as Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen.

In addition, Zhou Xun is also one of the judges at the Capital International Film Festival next month.

Anyway, right now, everyone is on vacation.

The food delivery vehicle arrived after a delay of twenty minutes.

Five waiters moved out several large insulated boxes, completed a series of operations such as setting the table, serving the dishes, and arranging the dishes in two or three minutes, and then left quickly.

"Come, take advantage of the venue and dinner opportunity provided by Director Lin and Yifei, let me tell you good news."

Huang Xiaoming held up his wine glass with a smile on his face.

"What?"

"Say it."

"Like Director Lin and Yifei, I am also planning to get married this year. Let's keep it a secret for now..."

A group of people stared at each other, it is indeed good news!

"Hey, I need to prepare an extra portion of money!"

"Yes, I will definitely be there then."

"Congratulations Xiao Ming."

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Ming."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei clinked their glasses together and looked at Huang Xiaoming: "Congratulations..."

The dinner party was going on lively, chatting and having fun while eating, and it lasted for more than an hour before I knew it.

On the other side, the Film Society.

"There is news from China Film Group that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is confirmed to participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards."

"Are you sure? But Lin Nan has been refusing to see us?"

"Look at this, China Film and Lin Nan have different opinions?"

"Is this possible? Can Lin Nan cooperate?"

"La Peikang's secretary said that China Film Group has a 30% share of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and is one of the largest producers, so it can sign up on behalf of the film."

"Then when the time comes to award the award, can he come?"

"Well, China Film Group said...don't count on it."

"Set a time and announce this matter in the next two days. We have to first..."

"Yes, let's do it!"

…………

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent the five people except Shu Chang out of the villa area in person.

In the living room, Liu Yifei was questioning Lin Nan, while Shu Chang watched the excitement.

"Just now when Brother Xun asked you why you came back early, something was wrong with you. I was the only one who saw it! Tell me, what's going on?"

Good guy, looking at Liu Yifei and Lin Nan who looked like "interrogating", he was quite speechless. He was perfectly restrained by Miss Liu!

"You are so powerful. You have discovered this. When your intelligence and talent are used on me, it will be doubled, right? You will catch me right every time!"

Lin Nan joked with a smile, but Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, "Say it quickly."

"Yes, tell the truth!" Shu Chang helped.

"It's nothing, I just got stabbed in the back by China Film. They wanted me to sign up for the Golden Rooster with "Taking Tiger Mountain", and they even unilaterally prepared a compromise, the kind that was non-negotiable... Haha, that's right. Tasks are actually political achievements..."

Lin Nan started talking nonchalantly, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang frowned one after another.

"Then, what should we do?"

After a long time, Liu Yifei asked worriedly.

Lin Nan has been at odds with the association and Jin Ji for so many years, and everyone in the circle knows it. Now that word has spread, I don’t know what the outside world will say.

"I will not go to Jinji. Besides, in order to prevent those people from causing trouble, I have to 'take action' in advance, and then..."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at each other, somewhat confused about what Lin Nan meant.

I saw Director Lin picking up his phone, flipping through his address book, and making a call after a few seconds.

He drove the phone on speakerphone and the person on the other end answered the call very quickly.

"Director Lin? Director Cao is in a meeting right now. You can call him in ten minutes, or..."

The person on the other end of the phone thought that Lin Nan couldn't get through to Cao Guowei, so she called him.

"No need, I'll find you."

"Ah? Do you have any instructions?"

"I want tomorrow's hot search..."

Lin Nan gave detailed instructions, while Liu Yifei and Shu Chang listened in stunned silence.

Ten minutes later, the other end of the phone echoed: "Don't worry, Director Lin, I promise there will be no problem."

"That's it, say hello to Director Cao for me."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Seeing Lin Nan hang up the phone, Liu Yifei said, "Are you afraid that those people will spread rumors first?"

"Um."

Lin Nan nodded, his eyebrows a little solemn.

"Sissi, the producer of "Detective Chinatown" will be left to you?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Liu Yifei avoided her vital points and patted her chest gently, with a confident smile on her face, she wanted to be a husband and wife team!

"Produced by Sissi..."

Shu Chang hummed and hugged Liu Yifei's arm and began to act coquettishly.

Lin Nan didn't pay attention to their fight. He looked at another number in the address book, took a deep breath, and dialed it.

Magic City, Shangying.

Ren Zhonglun has just returned to the office after a group meeting, and he is listening to a separate report from the marketing department.

"The box office trend of "Heroes" is still very good, reaching 600 million. But it is almost impossible to break through the 1 billion box office, and even 800 million is a bit difficult.

But if you include the overseas copyright income that has been obtained before, this movie will definitely make a lot of money. It depends on how much the domestic box office will be when it is released. "

Ren Zhonglun nodded with satisfaction. For a movie with an investment of 400 million yuan, it is really not easy for "Army of Heaven" to make money.

Overseas copyrights are selling well, all thanks to the influence of Jackie Chan and Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, and Jackie Chan accounts for the majority!

Suddenly, the vibration of the mobile phone on the table attracted the attention of everyone in the office and broke the working atmosphere.

It would definitely not be okay for other people to have this kind of thing happen when reporting on work, but Ren Zhonglun was an exception.

Ren Zhonglun subconsciously looked at his phone. The caller ID on the screen made him instantly refreshed.

"That's it for today. People in the marketing department can go back first."

"Okay, Director Ren."

Several people quickly exited the chairman's office, leaving only the secretary inside.

"Who is it? To make Director Ren so excited?"

"I glanced at it and it seemed to be Director Lin Nan!"

"Huh? That's no wonder."

In the office, Ren Zhonglun answered the phone.

This is Lin Nan's first active call since "Painted Skin 2", and it has been 5 years!

"Lin Nan, I've been waiting for your call, but it's been too hard to wait."

Although he had some expectations in his heart, Ren Zhonglun did not express it clearly.

"Director Ren is joking. Should I get straight to the point?"

Lin Nan's voice came from the phone, and Ren Zhonglun suddenly became excited: "You say it."

"When I was in Berlin last month, I said that I was preparing a new commercial film. If Shanghai Film Studio has any ideas, please come to my company in two days."

"Okay, I'll ask someone... I'll be there on time." Ren Zhonglun said loudly with undisguised joy in his tone.

Lin Nan paused for a moment, flashing back to five years ago in his mind, and then made a serious joke:

"My film is a series like "Painted Skin". Maybe the sequel will still be handed over to other directors..."

"Shangying follow!"

Lin Nan's words were abruptly interrupted by Ren Zhonglun.

"Okay. But this time the share given to SIPG won't be much."

"It doesn't matter, as much or as little as you like."

"Then see you in two days, Director Ren."

"Well, see you in two days."

Looking at the hung up phone, Lin Nan smiled at Liu Yifei and Shu Chang:

"From now on, there will only be two core allies, Guangguang and Wanda. The others will all come at the back and be considered ordinary allies. Haha..."

"Lin Nan, this?"

"That's it. Come on, let's go out and walk the dog."

Shanghai Film Studio, Chairman’s Office.

Ren Zhonglun tapped his right hand on the desk surface, feeling very good.

After five years, Shanghai Film Group finally got a share of Lin Nan's movies again.

No matter how little it is, he won't have any objection.

Because this means that Shangying is back on the ship and everything can start again.

"It has been five years, and now he has won many awards. He is the top director in the country and the number one in the mainland..."

Suddenly, Ren Zhonglun came to his senses, "What's going on with La Peikang? How could he actually do that?"

He looked at the secretary and ordered: "Go and inquire to see if something happened between China Film and Lin Nan? Otherwise, it is unlikely that we will be given a chance!"

"Okay, Director Ren."

…………

The next day.

Early in the morning, the entire film and television industry was attracted by online entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches.

After 10 years, we actually saw the news about the intersection between Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Award again? ! Most people in the industry feel like time flies by.

"It is reported that since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association have visited Lin Nan Pictures several times, but have been turned away."

"After director Lin Nan won the Golden Globe, Golden Bear, and Oscar for Best Director, many directors of the Golden Rooster Committee were once again rejected by Lin Nan Pictures a few days ago."

“Since 2005, we have detailed the grievances between Director Lin Nan and the Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association. The former has been publicly criticized and suppressed many times in the style of ‘relying on the old and selling the old’ and ‘seniority’.”

"Director Lin Nan was absent from the Huabiao Award for participating in the Venice International Film Festival in 2009. Therefore, he was called out and scolded by many seniors from the Film Association and the Golden Rooster Committee. He was even slapped with a hat. This time, Director Lin Nan won the Golden Lion Award in Venice. Later, he quit the film association angrily..."

"The Golden Rooster Committee and the Film Association came to visit several times, hoping to invite the now 'successful' director Lin Nan to return to the Golden Rooster stage..."

"Ten years have passed, and things have changed..."

…

A lot of news about Lin Nan, Golden Rooster, and the Film Association have been on the hot searches and headlines. The key is that they are all true things that can be found.

In the entire film and television industry, most people are confused. Don't you know why? Is it just because Jinji wants Lin Nan to "compliment" him? Or is there something else?

The China Film and Film Association are already in chaos.

"Lin Nan mentioned these old stories and people from the Whistleblower Association came to his door many times, but he ignored him... Is he showing his attitude? Is he slapping them in the face? Or is there something else?"

…

"All these things suddenly burst out, it must be him! What does he want to do? Is he going to overturn the table, or is he going to rebel?"

"The registration for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been confirmed! What, does he want to regret it or break up with China Film Group?"

"Announce the application for the Golden Rooster Award for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" as soon as possible! Let's see who is laughed at and slapped in the face... Hasn't it been persisting for 10 years? Why hasn't it continued?"

…

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan drove to the film office.

The entertainment news on the car radio is the gossip about those people who have left Lin Nan Pictures several times. The specific day, time, and number of people have arrived.

"First of all, I don't believe in the character of you old guys. If you accuse me of taking the initiative to show your kindness to the Golden Rooster... Secondly, I'm still waiting for you to announce the registration list."

Lin Nan muttered in his heart and walked into the film office. He went straight to Tong Gang's office and had already made a call.

He came here today for two things, one was the review of "Charlotte Trouble" and the other was "Detective Chinatown".

"I've been waiting for you for a while."

Seeing Lin Nan being led in by his secretary, Tong Gang put down the pen in his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him with a smile.

"Tong Bureau, my film "Charlotte" has been rejected, saying that some lines need to be changed and scenes need to be cut? But it's obviously not a big problem, I think."

Lin Nan spoke directly, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

"Don't worry, let them submit it again without making any changes."

Tong Gang said lightly, as if he was deciding a very small matter.

Lin Nan immediately realized that this was special care: "Thank you, Children's Bureau, I will ask them to resubmit it for review this afternoon. And my script?"

"It should be announced today or tomorrow. This is a special deal for you! Make more good movies in the future."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

Having said this, Lin Nan couldn't help but probe: "Tong Ju, if I have any scripts or projects that I'm not sure about in the future, can I come to you directly?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Tong Gang did not refuse, but smiled and nodded:

"Of course, no problem. You are the first Oscar-winning director in mainland China, and you are still so young! Haha..."

Lin Nan didn't expect Tong Gang to take the initiative to joke.

As for why he would test it out and come directly to the bureau if he had any uncertain film projects in the future, it was because he would not go to China Film Studio many times in the future. If anything happens, there is a high probability that Yue Jun will be contacted.

Lin Nan didn't expect that today's trip would go so smoothly. Maybe the reason is that he has won so many awards now, right?

After all, director Chen Da was able to retain the role of Prince Long, so Lin Nan felt that she was not far behind! It’s just a matter of family background.
