Chapter 93 The Story of Steamed Buns

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, 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 buried her head even lower, 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 is free from now on, I will ask her to go out for a walk. It would be ridiculous to stay at home all day..."

"Okay, aunt, bye."

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

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

Lin Nan muttered.

Han Sanping once again set his sights on the later stages of "Time Cruise", which is non-hardcore science fiction. Otherwise, Lin Nan would absolutely refuse, and the special effects would have to come from abroad.

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

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.

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

Zhang Yimou, as a major domestic director with a similar status to Chen Kaige, was blocked by reporters.

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

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.

Chen Kaige is tough in his words.

"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 filming of the commercial."

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

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

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

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

"Has it happened? What happened?" Lin Nan asked.

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

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

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.

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

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!"

Liu Yifei then asked.

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

…

"I'm optimistic about you and that sister." Lin Nan blessed her sincerely.

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

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

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".

"Is there any other information?"

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

Han Sanping explained in a rare way.

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

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.

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

On the phone, Ning Hao asked.

…

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.

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

"She said: 'A woman must be careful when marrying. It's too late for me in this life. I must be careful in the next life.' How cruel."

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

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

"It sounds so familiar..."

As expected of Lao Mouzi, he could easily resolve embarrassments by sharing joy with the people, and many netizens admired his tolerant spirit.

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

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

"Director Lin?"

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

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

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

A set of operations 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 take one directly?

"Who is Party A?"

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

"explain."

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

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.

"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?

The film 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.

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

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

"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."

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.

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

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

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".

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

For Chen Kaige to say these words, you can already see how angry he is, and he usually has a very high level of self-control.

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

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

"The prime minister's belly can hold a boat, but can't even hold a steamed bun, so he obviously has a small belly."

"No problem, Director Lin."

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

"OK."

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

"Tsk, tsk, you really need to be the person you sleep with."

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.

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

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

Lin Nan joked.

"In this age, you have to be crazy to suppress other people's comments..."

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

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".

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

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

Lin Nan said, even if the box office is good, China Film Group is only a participating investor, so how much can it gain.

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

"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 a big problem."

"It seems that invitations were sent to many big directors, and they also gave the audition a special name, 'Souxing'. Well, that's the name."

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

"Director Lin?"

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

"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..."

Have a meeting!

The notice from the Film and Television Association has arrived.

If everyone's previous ridicule of "The Promise" was scattered, then the emergence of this video and its crazy circulation on the Internet is a leader. All the people and voices who mocked it have gathered together and formed a torrent.

Lin Nan nodded, agreeing with Ning Hao's view.

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.
