That year Huayu

On the morning of the 13th, a piece of film information in the industry was directly airborne to the front page headlines of major portals and dominated the hot searches on Weibo.

For the entire Chinese-language film industry, there is a giant beast that has locked in and occupied the Lunar New Year period more than half a year in advance;

It has put pressure on all competitors nakedly, with a look of contempt and full of pressure!

"Co-produced by Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures, China Film and LeTV Pictures, directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, William Dafoe, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu and others;

Invested 150 million US dollars, co-produced by China and the United States, the costume, action, adventure, fantasy 3D blockbuster "The Great Wall", the domestic release time is officially scheduled for December 15, earlier than the North American film market..."

When Lin Nan saw the relevant news online, he couldn't help but admire the operation of China Film.

To be honest, "The Great Wall" is now scheduled to be released in the Lunar New Year period, which can be said to have taken all the advantages.

Because of its extremely luxurious lineup of producers, main creative team, and investment scale, this movie is like a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain;

And those production companies that intend to release the Lunar New Year film, without exception, all have to consider a question in advance, that is, whether they will fail to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and be eaten instead?

I won't say much about ordinary small and medium-cost movies, it doesn't matter, because they are eating leftovers;

But those slightly higher-cost or large-scale movies must seriously consider whether to avoid the edge of "The Great Wall".

But this does not include Lin Nan! Let's not talk about his confidence in "Operation Mekong", just talking about the special treatment, he is very confident.

Lin Nan saw Jing Tian's forwarded Weibo, which was promoting "The Great Wall". She is the real leading actress.

"Speaking of which, this should be the second time that I face off with Director Zhang, right? Although the release time is 18 days apart, after all, they are still in the Lunar New Year period, so there will be a head-on conflict!"

"It's the second time. The first time was "Coming Home" and "The Invisible Guest". What a bad memory you have." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Director Lin and said very confidently.

Lin Nan smiled in response and changed the subject to joke:

"This year's Lunar New Year period is destined to be bloody. In the future, it depends on which fools who overestimate their own abilities will take the initiative to join the game and seek death?"

Seeing that Lin Nan was still joking here, Liu Yifei couldn't help knocking on the table, "You will defend your thesis the day after tomorrow, why don't you hurry up and finish your thesis? Are you still playing?"

"Xixi, let's not rush. My thesis will be finished very quickly. I can finish it this afternoon. I don't need to change the first draft. A group of judges don't have the right to speak like me!"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei laughed out loud immediately, feeling that Lin Nan was bullying her a little bit.

…

Near noon, the name of "Railroad Tigers" appeared in the film public notice on the official website of the Film Bureau.

The extremely simple introduction allowed the media to only see that it was jointly produced by Shanghai Film Group and Yaolai Films, and that the starring actors were Jackie Chan, Huang Zitao, Wang Kai, and Wang Dalu.

There was no list of supporting actors such as Xu Xun, and no one knew about Liu Dehua's cameo. The main theme is low-key, low-key, and low-key again!

And netizens and fans all over the Internet also knew for the first time that there is such a movie?

In the face of many media reporters' inquiries and inquiries, Shanghai Film Group and Yaolai Film and Television have a very unified attitude, that is: no contact, no response!

"The public notice has been approved? It's so fast!"

La Peikang smiled and muttered, glancing at Ren Zhonglun who was not far from the cocktail party.

He was looking forward to seeing how the higher-ups would react after the film was released, or what kind of "trouble" Ren Zhonglun would get into; but he also knew that Ren Zhonglun would not be hurt, after all, he had the administrative level.

"Mr. La, I toast to you."

Huang Xiaoming came over with a glass of wine in his hand. La Peikang smiled back, "There's only half a month left for "The Great Tang Xuanzang", right?"

"Yes, Mr. La."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in response. This film was controlled by China Film Group Corporation and was a project decided after the "China-India Film Cooperation and Exchange News Briefing", which had a certain "mission" and "special significance".

"All the awards that can be registered in China should have been registered, and those that haven't started yet will also be prepared to register later. In addition, the bureau has been preparing for the Oscar-winning film recently, and your film has great hope."

The phrase "great hope" made Huang Xiaoming stunned there, and after a moment, his joy was beyond words.

Being nominated for an Oscar is a great honor and a great experience. If... let alone being nominated, it would be a great success!

"Boss La, this..."

"Wait a minute. It won't be long. After all, it has to be submitted by the end of September at the latest."

Glancing at Ren Zhonglun and Jackie Chan in the distance again, La Peikang decisively ended the conversation with Huang Xiaoming and walked over there.

The latter stood there alone, feeling even happier. Because Huang Xiaoming could hear the meaning of La Peikang's words just now:

This "mission film" may or may not win awards abroad, but it will win many awards in China! And as the absolute leading actor, he is the inevitable beneficiary.

...

The defense for the promotion of associate professors in the three departments of performance, management, and literature at Beijing Film Academy has started one after another since the 10th.

When Lin Nan was working on his thesis in the afternoon, he could still receive messages from Lao Jiang from time to time;

Because he had no "director achievements", he had already given up on the title of full professor, but it did not prevent him from watching the fun.

In Lao Jiang's words, Lin Nan will become the youngest full professor at Beijing Film Academy, and the youngest and most undisputed full professor in art schools across the country.

The 13th passed in a hurry.

On the 14th, due to Liu Yifei's strong request, Lin Nan carefully proofread the thesis.

Time flies, and it's already the morning of the 15th.

Miss Liu cares more about his defense than Director Lin. She got up early to prepare. She wants to drive along to join in the fun.

At 8 o'clock, Lin Nan got into the BMW driven by Liu Yifei. It's better to keep a low profile today.

"Professor Lin, fasten your seat belt, let's go."

Liu Yifei put on burgundy sunglasses, then tied her long hair into a ponytail, and then smiled and nodded at Lin Nan in the passenger seat.

Miss Liu's face was even more beautiful and bright in the morning sun outside the car window, and Lin Nan was a little dazzled.

"Okay, Princess Sissi."

With a step on the accelerator, the BMW jumped out.

…

Just after nine o'clock, Guangguang welcomed an unexpected guest.

Wang Changtian had just finished brewing Pu'er when his secretary knocked on the door.

"Mr. Wang, Director Chen's wife is here and wants to see you."

"Who?" Wang Changtian didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Director Chen Kaige's wife, Producer Chen."

"She didn't make an appointment, did she?" Wang Changtian asked thoughtfully.

"No. But your schedule, this can be found out in the circle." The secretary explained.

Wang Changtian nodded after hearing this. There might be a "traitor" in the company who revealed his work schedule.

"Please come over."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

Wang Changtian is still willing to make friends with Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, after all, they are a big director and producer as a couple.

But there is a question that Wang Changtian is also puzzled about, that is, he seems to have had little contact with Chen Kaige and Chen Hong in recent years?

"What's the matter with coming here uninvited today?" Wang Changtian muttered, pouring himself a cup of tea.
