That year Huayu

"The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, who was the defending Best Actor at the 88th Academy Awards, landed in theaters across the country in the early hours of this morning and was officially released."

"Domestic films such as "Los Angeles Trouble", "Arrowman", "The Uninvited Guest" and many other films were released early this morning, pitting Leonardo against "The Revenant"..."

In the view of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, asking for the script and then rejecting "The Legend of the Demon Cat" after reading the script is not excessive or disrespectful.

Chen Hong invited Liu Yifei once during the Magic City International Film Festival 9 months ago, and mentioned it again some time ago. In this case, it would be disrespectful to refuse directly.

But after reading the script, if you think you are not suitable for the role and play, then you decline it, which is much more reasonable.

Because this is the normal process for actors to select roles and choose scripts, and it is also a sign of respect for each other and the movie.

This course of action also means that Liu Yifei did not deal with Chen Hong, but actually read the script, considered it, and made a decision to decline after careful consideration.

However, there is a small problem that may not be avoided, that is, Liu Yifei's rejection of "Legend of the Demon Cat" will most likely stimulate Director Chen's arrogant self-esteem, challenge his "majesty" as a Palme d'Or director, and even touch the His "glass heart"!

Liu Yifei got up early in the morning, washed up, had breakfast, put on makeup... She made an appointment with Chen Hong. After all, calling to refuse is somewhat inappropriate.

Lin Nan acted as the driver. After finishing the work, he would take Miss Liu to a movie. Previously in Hollywood, the two of them had not gone to the theater to watch Leonardo's "The Revenant."

At around 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, in a high-end coffee shop close to Shengkai Pictures, Liu Yifei, who was young and beautiful in a casual style, met Chen Hong, who also had a strong aura.

Both of them wore sunglasses, and when they greeted, smiled and hugged, they seemed to see the years reflected in their eyes.

After all, they are both great beauties that everyone knows, but they are just one generation apart; but time has always favored beautiful things. Well, the premise is not to use the knife.

When Chen Hong, who was smiling and picking up the coffee, heard Liu Yifei's intention, the smile on her face suddenly froze; but in the blink of an eye, she returned to normal.

"Yifei, can you tell me why? You know, I really like you, especially the role of Yang Guifei. If I were still young, I would play it.

I remember that last year you wore an expensive phoenix crown and harem, but it left an indelible impression on many guests at the scene. It was so stunning, it was like you really stepped out of the play.

Thinking about it now, there is no actress in the industry who is more suitable for 'Yang Guifei' than you. She is the core of "The Legend of the Demon Cat". "

Chen Hong still kept smiling and asked. It is her mentality, personality and emotional intelligence that can combine with Chen Kaige's domineering and arrogance. The couple really match each other well.

Liu Yifei smiled sheepishly and looked at Chen Hong:

"Sister Chen Hong, I spent nearly two days reading the script carefully, and asked Lin Nan to read it for me... I also thought about it seriously all night. I felt that from my own perspective, I might not be suitable. "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

When it comes to emotional intelligence, Chen Hong is not low. She can hear the meaning behind Liu Yifei's words. Liu Yifei is declining. As for the reason, it shouldn't be the so-called "thinking it's not suitable".

"I read the script and asked Lin Nan to help me read it...then it's not suitable?" Chen Hong muttered in her heart. She vaguely seemed to have guessed something. Is it a problem with the script?

"Would you like to stop thinking about it?"

Chen Hong didn't think about it again, but looked at Liu Yifei's delicate face and fought for it again.

"Sister Chen Hong, let's forget it this time. Next time, there will be a chance. I'm also looking forward to starring in Director Chen's movie."

Miss Liu's smile was very friendly, she said politely and modestly, and she even complimented her sincerely.

"Yifei, this is such a pity, so regretful." Chen Hong indeed felt regretful, but she no longer forced it.

She was already thinking about another question at the moment, which was how to tell Chen Kaige about this matter when she went back later. With the latter's character and temper, I'm afraid he'll have to be embarrassed again.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Chen Hong didn't stay long and said goodbye to Liu Yifei immediately, because Shengkai Pictures was busy with preparations for the audition and casting of "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

After Miss Liu waved goodbye to Chen Hong, she also happily got into her car.

That's right, Lin Nan had been alone in the car for the past half hour; after all, it would be hard for him to join in the fun when two women met, right?

"Lin Nan, let's go to the cinema, GO!"

"okay."

…

Lin Nan Pictures, Yue Jun is giving orders to his men.

"Director Lin's script for "Marriage Story" can be sent to the Film Bureau for review. This movie will be the top priority this year.

As for "Second Generation Goblin", which was written by the screenwriting department based on the outline, it is a relatively simple fantasy comedy and romance film. It is a film for relaxation, relaxation, and fun. Let's also submit it for review... I don’t know who will direct it? "

"Director Yue, there seems to be no specific shooting plan yet, right?"

Hearing this, Yue Jun smiled and nodded: "Director Lin didn't say anything, so we don't have to worry about it. But "Marriage Story" must have been filmed first, and Director Lin is both the director and the leading actor."

"Okay, then I'll go to the film bureau right now."

"Be low-key and keep it confidential."

Yue Jun gave instructions again, and saw his subordinates picking up the document bag, turning around and leaving the office, heading straight for the elevator.

The front desk who walked out of the elevator passed by him, also holding something in his hand.

"Director Yue, the invitation letter for the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival has arrived. We are the producer of the participating films... and also about the participation of "Operation Mekong"..."

While Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were watching the footage of Leonardo fighting with a brown bear with great interest, the atmosphere at Shengkai Pictures was already not right.

Chen Kaige, who had a gloomy and cold face, followed Chen Hong into the office, and the latter even closed the door.

The employees outside are all cautious and trembling. Because it was Director Chen who started the fire, even the veteran employees were frightened and frightened.

"This is the first time, this is the first time someone has rejected my movie, and it was after reading the script! What do you mean? Was it her rejection or Lin Nan's rejection?"

Chen Kaige's voice was not loud, but very cold. Obviously, he was so angry at this moment that he had already thought of Lin Nan.

Chen Hong didn't want this matter to escalate and affect everyone's relationship. Because Chen Kaige's character is vaguely vindictive and petty.

“Yifei came to see me alone, and she only said from the beginning to the end that she felt that she was not suitable for "The Legend of the Demon Cat";

Don't think about it so much. Let's follow the plan and re-select the candidate for 'Yang Guifei' during the audition. "

Chen Kaige did not answer Chen Hong's words, but continued:

"Over the years, no actor has rejected my movie, and it's for such a subjective reason. I'm almost certain that there must be Lin Nan's reason for it. What else did she say when she declined you? Let me hear it. !”

Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong, who showed a helpless expression;

"Script" is Chen Kaige's taboo. Over the years, he has been criticized countless times because of the plot of the movie, that is, the content of the script that he wrote or participated in the screenwriting...

"Yifei didn't say anything else. She just subjectively felt that it wasn't suitable for her. Maybe she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control it? She made it clear to me in person, and she also meant to apologize."

"Haha, then Lin Nan really needs to teach his wife, her level still needs to be improved!"

Chen Kaige believed it to be true and immediately sneered.

Hearing this, Chen Hong was quite speechless, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the topic: "Feiyu's side..."

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei originally only wanted to watch a movie, but the two of them wandered outside and played all day long; so much so that when they got home at night, they literally fell asleep!

The next morning, there was no news in the film and television industry. The whole Internet was full of news about the wedding of Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi. The wedding is obviously tomorrow, but today it feels like it's already happening.

However, among the relevant information, the one that attracts the most public attention is from the Tang Dynasty.

Because there are rumors that Cai Yinong, the "mother's family" and the president of Tangren Pictures who discovered Liu Shishi, will not attend the wedding of the first sister of the family;

Hu Ge, the first brother of the family, will also be absent.

For a time, there were divergent opinions on the Internet, and all kinds of gossip and excitement emerged one after another.

But the conclusion is that the first sister of Tangren and Tangren Pictures are on the verge of parting ways, and they are only waiting for the contract to expire this year!

In this regard, there was no response from the Tang people, almost acquiescence. This undoubtedly means that the relationship between the two parties has broken down.

In the film market, DiCaprio and Oscar's appeal are simply eye-catching.

The first-day box office of "The Revenant" was 64 million, which directly surpassed the first-day results of several movies such as "The Revenant", "The Arrow", and "The Uninvited Guest", which were 2.35 million, 700,000, and 880,000.

Among the several movies released on the same day, the domestic films were completely defeated, and they were all beaten and almost trampled to death by a foreign language film.

"Oh, has it been scheduled?" Lin Nan saw the movie information of "Westward Journey 3".

"Directed by Director Liu Zhenwei, starring Han Geng and Tang Yan, and starring Wu Gen, Mo Wenwei, Xie Nan, Hu Jing and others, the third part of the "Westward Journey" series "Westward Journey 3 Finale" is released for the first time on the Internet Promotional poster... Official announcement is scheduled for September 14th.”

"Director Liu Zhenwei said:

"Westward Journey 3 Finale" will answer all the doubts that all movie fans have had about the two movies "Moonlight Box" and "The Monkey King" in the past 20 years;

That is to say, reinterpret "Journey to the West" from another perspective... And over the years, the vast majority of fans and audiences have had completely wrong interpretations of the first two movies! "

Lin Nan couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise. A director who publicly declares that he wants to teach fans and audiences a lesson doesn’t know how his brain is structured? How could it be so impossible!

But not to mention, Liu Zhenwei knows timing very well. In interviews, he repeatedly recalled his cooperation with Zhou Xingchi and congratulated "Mermaid", which is currently sprinting towards a box office of 3.4 billion.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a naked attempt to take advantage of the heat. However, netizens were very tolerant of "Westward Journey" and did not criticize Liu Zhenwei much.

"Tangtang, Wu Gan, Xie Nan! I'm really looking forward to their "Westward Journey"." Liu Yifei teased with a smile.

"Then you can go and watch it when it comes out, or go to the premiere and just don't call me."

Lin Nan smiled and cast a malicious look. Liu Zhenwei, he has been making bad movies for many years!

"No, I'll ask you to come with me. If I remember."

Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly and snorted, quite stubborn.

"Okay, just do whatever you want. You can slowly familiarize yourself with the script and write biographies at home. I'm going out."

"Are you coming back at noon?" Liu Yifei asked quickly.

Lin Nan pretended to be deep in thought, "I'll call you then. I'll come back or you can go find me. How about that?"

"Okay, where can we get food? Hehe..."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Lin Nan immediately smiled. As expected of a couple, they really had a good understanding. Eat for free? There is a high probability that you will have to pay for it!

…

The film and television industry is busy auditioning for several movies, such as "The Founding of the Army", "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

However, compared to the previous two films, Wu Pan's "Wolf Warrior 2" is much less attractive to actors in the industry; but Wu Pan doesn't seem to care about this, and just keeps doing it!

light.

Lin Nan was originally going to destroy the monkey, but he received a call from Wang Changtian on the way; then he took a detour and stopped at the light side first.

On the 12th floor, Wang Changtian poured a cup of tea for Lin Nan, and then said with a gossipy face:

"Look, I said at the beginning that "In the Name of the People" was untouchable. No, it really was untouchable! The crew has only started filming for more than a month, and I heard that there are constant troubles...

Forget it, let’s not talk about that, it’s bad luck. When those two movies are launched, do you want to go to the set? Basically everything is almost ready, just these few days. "

Lin Nan didn't listen very carefully to what Wang Changtian said next, because his first words were still echoing in Lin Nan's mind, but he was quickly thrown away.

"Director Wang, you are thinking too much."

"Are you afraid that you will be prostituted for nothing?"

"I'm too lazy to move. Besides, Director Wang, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave. I've already said hello to Ning Hao."

“Remind you, Tudou’s second round of financing.”

Wang Changtian said angrily, his purpose of pulling Lin Nan to the platform was in vain.

When it came to Tudou's second round of financing, Lin Nan immediately became energetic. Because according to the plan, it will be carried out in the first half of the year, but now it is already late March.

"I know it's early June. I will remind Wang Wei to make preparations later, and the same will happen on Weibo."

"Once the second round of financing is completed, how long will we have to wait for the listing?"

"Oh, I finally know why, Mr. Wang, you called me here today. It's all about love!" Lin Nan was quite speechless.

"This is indeed the most important thing for me to come to you. Because I heard the news that the IPO time of China Film and Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. has been set, in early May."

Wang Changtian's eyes gleamed and he was yearning for it. After all, Potato's current market value is already more than twice that of Light. If it really goes on the market, that would be huge.

"After the second round of financing, it will take at least a while to digest. Then it will be the Hong Kong Stock Exchange... Let's sit down and talk about it then and set a time."

As for the IPO time, Lin Nan can't say. This has to be determined by the professional organization responsible for the potato listing business; with the support of a large amount of data, it can be judged when the IPO is most beneficial.

"Okay, let's meet first after the second round."

…

When he arrived at Bad Monkey at early 10 o'clock, Lin Nan found that Xu Zheng and Dong Ping were also there.

The three major shareholders were happy to gather at Bad Monkey. This was something he didn't expect. Ning Hao didn't say anything on the phone this morning?

"They are here temporarily. You sit here and eat some fruit. It will be over soon."

Xing Aina warmly entertained Lin Nan, and Lin Nan could tell from these words that they were probably talking about happy business!

"Sister, I'm sure I can do whatever I want here. How about taking care of the meal at noon?"

"Of course it's no problem. Let's talk at 11 o'clock. I'll see if we go out to eat or let the restaurant deliver it to us. Call Yifei?" Xing Aina asked with a smile.

"Of course, I told her before I came here, haha..."

Lin Nan held her cell phone in her left hand and a fork in her right hand. She started reading the news while eating, and waited for the three people to finish.

Feng Xiaogang is really an old gangster!

At this moment, "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is holding its first press conference. Because Feng Xiaogang and Fan Bingbing are collaborating again after 12 years, they hugged in front of the camera for 12 seconds at the host's suggestion.

As a result, after the hug, Feng Xiaogang, an old pervert, actually began to speak pornographically in front of so many media at the scene.

He mentioned Fan Bingbing's breasts, saying that they were so big and full that they were pushing against him. They were bigger than they were 12 years ago... He felt impulsive...

Wang Zhonglei, on the other hand, was helping, smiling so obscenely.

Fan Bingbing can be regarded as a veteran in the industry, but in front of the camera, she still blushed suddenly and could only smile to relieve the embarrassment. This can't be acted out!

"Hua Yi, tut tut tut..."

"Director Lin, what are you talking about?" Xu Zheng's voice interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Ning Hao, Dong Ping, Xu Zheng and Xing Aina standing at the door. Ning Hao obviously wanted to send those two away.

"I didn't say anything. I was just watching the news. Why don't you stay for lunch?"

"No, we have something else to do, so we won't disturb Director Lin and Director Ning."

Dong Ping smiled and said to Lin Nan, this is a pure capitalist.

Two minutes later, Dong Ping and Xu Zheng left in the same car. Lin Nan then asked: "What's the matter with Huanxi? You actually got a bad monkey to talk about it?"

Ning Hao didn't intend to hide it, and even wanted to share it actively. The smile on his face gradually became mean:

"Wang Jiawei and Chen Kexin have completely settled it. The signing ceremony is scheduled for early June, and the share delivery will be completed in April and May. They will purchase the original shares at Huanxi's internal price and become shareholders of the big director; among Huanxi's shareholders, Here are four great directors!

In addition, Dong Ping and Xu Zheng already have their next 'public relations' target, which is a director from the Mainland, and they will start to contact them soon. "

After all, due to the principle of confidentiality, Ning Hao did not tell Huanxi's next "goal". Instead, he smiled at Lin Nan in a good mood, as if Huanxi was about to become bigger and stronger, and its market value would skyrocket.

"Okay, let's talk about why you came here. I didn't explain clearly on the phone. I just said you were coming to Bad Monkey."

Hearing Ning Hao's question, Lin Nan immediately smiled.

"Your smile doesn't make you a good person, right?" Xing Aina joked from a distance.

"That's it." Lin Nan replied to Xing Ai, then looked at Ning Hao: "Didn't I tell you something on the second day of New Year's Day?"

"what's up?"

Ning Hao asked subconsciously, but after just a second or two, he remembered and glanced at Lin Nan:

"You said at that time that you wanted me to be the tool director! So, you have already decided on the movie script?"

"Movie? Let Ning Hao direct it?" Xing Aina said in surprise.

"Well, we agreed with him last time. At that time, Yifei and that sister were discussing how to order food in the living room." Lin Nan explained.

"Alas, I didn't clearly agree last time, don't talk nonsense." Ning Hao looked disgusted.

Lin Nan ignored him and said to himself:

“It’s just a very simple fantasy romantic comedy, with a modern setting.

Just think of it as playing, don’t take it too seriously, it’s just free time anyway; Yifei and I just have a playful mentality and prepare to be the male and female protagonists.

Think about it, you are the director, Yifei and I are the male and female protagonists, making a movie for fun, how gimmick is this?

I’m afraid the domestic film industry will never find this kind of combination again, right? I have so many international awards, and I am at your disposal, and Yifei is also an international first-line actress..."

Lin Nan's words seemed to have a bewitching tone. Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed, "Well, it is indeed very tempting. At your level..."

"Then I have to be a producer. It feels very fulfilling just thinking about it!"

In the distance, Xing Aina, who was holding her cell phone and preparing to call the restaurant to reserve a table, suddenly interrupted excitedly.

Ning Hao and Lin Nan looked at each other instantly, and then Lin Nan spread his hands towards Director Ning, but his words were addressed to the two of them:

"Sister, I agree with your producer! Director Ning, can you hear me and express your opinion?"

Ning Hao smacked his lips and stared at Lin Nan angrily: "You actually hold the sky in your arms... I have two demands!"

"No problem, just say it." Lin Nan wanted to be decisive.

"Your sister and I use the salary from the film to cover the investment. Just like you said, if we find something to do, it's just to play with you and Yifei."

"Okay." Lin Nan nodded, this is just a small matter.

Seeing Lin Nan agree without hesitation, Ning Hao revealed a hidden smile on his lips.

"After that, I'm going to pick something from your company's copyright library, but don't worry, we're doing business, and we won't do it for free! Hehe..."

As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, Lin Nan was stunned. Good guy, isn't this a long-planned plan?

"What, you hesitated?"

"OK!"

Lin Nan gritted his teeth and uttered one word heavily.

At this moment, he was extremely sure that he was being plotted against. Ning Hao has definitely had this idea for a long time, and he just happened to catch him today!

"Director Lin, it's a deal! Haha..." Ning Hao smiled like a gangster, like who was that guy in "Charlotte"?

At this time, Xing Aina's voice came from far away, breaking the atmosphere:

"Lin Nan, call Yifei. Let's go out for lunch..."

"Okay, sister."
