That year Huayu

This should be the first time for Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli to have dinner together.

After the meal, Liu's mother talked a lot and asked a lot of things, and her smile never stopped. She was completely different from when they first met.

"...Young people should still put their career first, followed by emotional matters..."

Liu Yifei lowered her head, and Lin Nan continued to speak with a smile.

"Sissi, her head is in the bowl."

Mother Liu coughed and reminded.

…

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli sent Lin Nan out of the yard, "When she's free from now on, I'll ask her to go out for a walk. It doesn't make sense to stay at home all day..."

"Okay, aunt, bye."

Waving to Liu Yifei, who was still dazed, Lin Nan got into the car.

"Mom, why are you different today than before?"

Only then did Liu Yifei ask.

Mother Liu's face darkened, "Am I different? It's not because of you."

After that, Mother Liu ignored her daughter and went straight back to the villa.

The employee who was driving was a little panicked. Director Lin kept giggling after getting in the car. Do you want to call him?

"Director Lin?"

"Director Lin?"

"Um, ah...what's wrong?" Lin Nan asked. He was still in a good mood today.

"It's nothing. It's just that the exam you mentioned last time has been taken care of. You can just take the exam when the time comes."

Lin Nan remembered that Liu Yifei had asked him to take a driver's license test so that he could drive for fun, so he told someone in the company to find someone to arrange it for him.

"Okay, I understand. Let's take some time to go in these two days."

The movie market is still in turmoil, but "If Love" has already been flattened. It is estimated that it will be difficult to go up with a box office of more than 20 million yuan in the mainland.

However, in Hong Kong Island and some Southeast Asian countries, Chen Kexin's "If Love" is still quite exciting.

It is said that the producer is in communication and wants to postpone the release of "If Love", but I don't know whether the result will be successful.

Back at the company, there are still a lot of things to do.

Han Sanping once again focused on the later stages of "Time Cruise", which is non-hardcore science fiction. Otherwise, Lin Nan would absolutely refuse, and the special effects at this time would have to be from abroad.

"Tell them my request. This film must be made carefully." Lin Nan emphasized again.

"No problem, Director Lin."

"And what kind of invitation are you talking about?"

"It's an invitation for a short commercial."

Now Lin Nan really wanted to hear it. A Berlin director sent him an invitation for a commercial. The other party was obviously well prepared.

"Who is Party A?"

"Yahoo Domestic Network, they plan to not only shoot one film, but to hire multiple directors, and will also audition some amateur faces to participate in the shooting of the commercial."

"It sounds so familiar..."

Lin Nan muttered.

"Is there any other information?"

"It seems that invitations were sent to many big directors, and they even gave the audition a name called 'Sou Xing', well, that's the name."

At this point, Lin Nan remembered that the domestic president of Yahoo seemed to be named Ma.

"Forget it, reply to them, I don't have any free time here."

"OK."

Lin Nan looked at the invitation. It would take about four months from start to finish.

There will definitely be constant publicity and interviews to be done in the middle. The labor and effort is not as easy as making a movie, so forget it.

After looking through the news, I found that the team behind "The Promise" has appeared on many programs recently. The screenwriters, directors, etc. have appeared on various talk shows or portals to talk about the "connotation and thoughts" of "The Promise".

Director Chen is making a last ditch effort. "The Promise" has begun to be screened on a small scale in the United States, working hard to win more statuettes during the "Olympic bid" process.

Han Sanping knew about Lin Nan's return. Just because he didn't look for him immediately didn't mean that he wouldn't look for him.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I need your movie to give it a boost."

Han Sanping explained in a rare way.

"Mr. Han, I don't have anything to do with it. But if you come here a few more times, I'm afraid Shanghai Film Studio will have serious objections."

Lin Nan joked.

"It's okay, I communicated with Lao Ren."

Han Sanping smiled a little reluctantly. Taking over the post-production of "Time Cruiser" also allowed him to say a few more words at the meeting, so that everyone would not focus on the pitfalls of "The Promise".

"In the next while, the group will have to fill the hole in "The Promise", and it depends on your "Time Cruiser" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

"Mr. Han, this is a big joke. There are so many movies in the group being released at the same time. Just talking about these two movies is a bit too much. I can't bear such a big burden."

Lin Nan said, "Even if the box office is good, China Film Group is only participating in the project, so how much can it gain?"

…

I took the time to go to the driving test site, focusing on practical exercises. This was the first time in Lin Nan's life that he held the steering wheel. The imprint of an old driver engraved deep in his soul in his previous life was suddenly activated.

The operation is proficient and smooth, and the staff can tell at a glance that this is a veteran. No wonder they spend money to go through the channels to take the exam directly. I just don’t know that they are so proficient, why not spend more and just take one directly?

After Lin Nan left, several staff members gathered around, "Didn't you pay attention just now? The person taking the exam was Lin Nan, the director of Nortel."

"Oh! No wonder he looks familiar. He was in the newspaper two days ago, saying that the movie was finished. No wonder he is so familiar with the exam. Maybe he has been practicing for a long time..."

The industry was shocked. For the first time, someone blatantly spoofed "The Promise". The click-through rate skyrocketed and the video spread rapidly.

As if he had discovered a new world, Ning Hao asked Lin Nan to turn on the computer and said there was a short video for him to watch.

Before "The Promise" was released, people across the country thought it would be the best movie of the year, but after its release, it was met with mixed reviews.

The 20-minute edited video combines clips from "The Promise", "Legal Report", "Circus City Performance Content", etc. The dialogue has also been re-edited, making it nonsensical and funny, with funny advertisements interspersed...

Lin Nan knew what it was, "The Murderous Case of a Steamed Bun".

If Lin Nan was still an audience member, he would be happy to applaud and applaud. He still thinks the editing is funny, but he can't.

The difference in identity and position forced him to think about the consequences of this video.

China Film invested 350 million, and Chen Kaige, a Palme d'Or director, spent three years hiring actors from three countries. In the end, he was ridiculed by this 20-minute short video. The impact on the industry is immeasurable and the impact will be huge. bad.

Many directors and filmmakers should be afraid of something like this happening to them if they want to do something in their position.

If everyone's ridicule of "The Promise" was scattered before, then the emergence of this video and its crazy circulation on the Internet means that a leader has emerged, and all the people and voices who are mocking have gathered together to form a torrent.

The most ridiculous thing is that the download rate of "The Promise" on the Internet is much lower than that of "The Murderous Case of a Steamed Bun".

"How's it going? Have you seen it?"

Ning Hao asked on the phone.

"Look, to be honest, I'm afraid something will happen."

"It's not that something is going to happen, it's already happened. How could Director Chen tolerate such a sarcastic voice and forget about the female host of Guangguang?"

"Already out? What happened?" Lin Nan asked.

"It's okay to curse, no curse words. Words like despicable and shameless are conveyed directly to the media and will be seen in court."

Being able to let Chen Kaige say these words already shows how angry he is, and he usually has a very high level of self-control.

…

"This matter must be dealt with seriously. It will have a serious impact on the film and television industry. Which director and company dares to say that the movie they make will be liked by everyone?

One person can give you seven or eight cuts, make a prank, and post it online. Will we make movies in the future? "

"Then let's hold a meeting to discuss this matter. The impact is indeed huge."

The more chaotic the industry becomes, the more excited the media becomes, and many people in the film and television industry come out to express their opinions.

Zhang Yimou, as a major domestic director whose status is almost the same as that of Chen Kaige, was blocked by reporters.

"Director Zhang, if your movie was pranked by netizens like this, how would you deal with it?"

"I won't mind this issue, I will enjoy it with the people."

As expected of Lao Mouzi, a man who enjoys himself with the people easily resolves embarrassments and has many netizens admiring his tolerant spirit.

Few insiders criticized Chen Kaige head-on. Lin Nan even wondered whether Lu Chuan took the wrong medicine or was sexually assaulted.

With "Kekexili", Lu Chuan is known as the leader of the sixth generation of directors, but he claims to be an outstanding representative of the seventh generation.

Lin Nan felt that he was overly flattering himself, that's why he said that.

"What age are we in this? You have to be crazy to suppress other people's comments..."

Chen Kaige's words were firm.

This is no longer a question of who is right or wrong, it involves the industry, interests and reputation.

Have a meeting!

The notice from the Film and Television Association has arrived.

Lin Nan had been told a lot in school that fighting alone would not last long and he would not be a gregarious person.

At the beginning of his senior year, Lin Nan was once again subjected to ideological work, and finally he had to agree and join the association as a member. However, a few months later, he was still tricked by these old guys.

"Do you know who is mocking Director Chen the most right now?"

Lin Nan shook his head, how could he know this.

"She's Director Chen's ex-wife." Ning Hao whispered.

Lin Nan became interested, "How do you say it?"

"The prime minister's belly can hold a boat, but it can't even hold a steamed bun. It's obvious that he has a small belly."

"Tsk tsk, you really need to be your pillow partner."

"There's still the second half of the sentence." Ning Hao smiled.

"explain."

"She said: 'A woman must be careful when marrying. I am too late in this life, so I must be careful in the next life.' How cruel."

Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao, "I didn't realize you were so gossipy. You even know what Director Chen's ex-wife said?"

Ning Hao's face darkened, "Your sister said this, and she said it dozens of times in front of me."

Lin Nan was happy when he heard this, "This is to inoculate you, haha. I'm afraid that one day you will follow Director Chen's old path, and the new person will be better than the old one!"

"No," Ning Hao said these three words with great force.

Lin Nan also suppressed his smile. This topic is a curse in the circle. Many couples have gone through hardships, but they can't share the happiness.

"I'm optimistic about you and that sister." Lin Nan said with sincere blessing.

"Stop talking about this, think about the association. I guess everyone in the circle will be here this time."

Lin Nan nodded and agreed with Ning Hao.

In terms of influence in the association, Zhang Yimou is much weaker than Chen Kaige. After all, the latter's family background is there, and he has left many connections from the older generation.
