That year Huayu

"According to the analysis of the nomination list of this year's Huabiao Awards, Lin Nan Pictures is undoubtedly the favorite to win the award. The four films it submitted have all been shortlisted for important awards..."

"The first exclusively produced film of Red Starwood, "Wolf Warrior", and the first film of Happy Twist, "Charlotte Troubles," bring Lin Nan Pictures' series of award-winning films to six!"

"This Huabiao Award is the first time that four great directors, including Director Lin Nan, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Jia Zhangke, and Director Chen Kexin, compete on the same stage to compete for the Outstanding Director Award."

"It is worth noting that among the 8 nominees for the Outstanding Director Award, Lin Nan Pictures has 3 seats, and directors Guo Fan and Lu Yang have 'randomly entered' the competition for great directors for the first time!"

…

Because Lin Nan had to drive, Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could only answer the phone; and when the phone was picked up, it was not interrupted all the way, and it was all for fun.

No one said any congratulatory words like opening champagne at halftime, but the emotion and meaning were already in place;

Because the Huabiao Award is recognized in the industry and there will never be a disgusting domestic film commendation conference, Lin Nan Pictures will definitely win an award this time!

When the two arrived at the set, Shu Chang was just like a child, chatting excitedly with Zhou Xun there, smiling and extremely excited.

Zhou Xun, on the other hand, took the attitude of a senior in the industry, looked at Shu Chang, and joked: "She is just a finalist for the Huabiao Best Actress Award. Sister, I have won so many awards that I don't even bother to count them."

"You're so embarrassed. Why don't you compete with Sister Gong Li?"

Liu Yifei "fights the injustice" for her best friend from a distance. How could Zhou Xun be so demotivating? !

"I can't meet a great director like Director Zhang Yimou! Why don't you lend me your Lin Nan for a few years? I don't ask for an Oscar, just give me the Best Actress from the three major film festivals."

Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows at Liu Yifei and gave her a flirtatious look. When she started going rogue, Miss Liu was really no match.

"Bah, you have a beautiful idea!" Liu Yifei snorted coldly, with a murderous look in her eyes; she couldn't defeat Zhou Xun, but she could do it!

"Sissi, I nominated you, haha..."

Shu Chang was still immersed in a naive state at this moment. She didn't pay attention to the bickering between the two, but couldn't help but want to share her joy with Liu Yifei;

She trotted over and the two hugged each other happily.

"Yeah, well, it's up to you on the night of the 24th. You fly back to the set this afternoon, seize the time to complete the filming in the past few days, and fly to the Magic City to find us as soon as you get back..."

According to Jiang Yuerou's latest statement, "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" can be completed before the 15th, which is only a week.

At that time, Shu Chang can rush to the airport directly from Hengdian to fly to Shanghai to meet up with Liu Yifei, Han Jia'v, and Zhou Xun to play together.

"Okay, I'll ask my assistant to book the tickets in advance, and you can help me book the hotel." Shu Chang nodded immediately. She wanted to live with everyone.

"First of all, let me say that I am not popping champagne before the game. In fact, the probability of winning the prize is really high!"

Lin Nan sat behind the monitor and couldn't help but interrupt. The crew is making preparations for the start of filming, and they can chat for more than half an hour.

"What do you mean by this? Are you looking for a relationship?" Zhou Xun asked subconsciously. Liu Yifei and Shu Chang looked at Lin Nan with equal curiosity.

"Are you kidding me? I have no connection with China Publicity. Don't talk nonsense." Lin Nan hurriedly retorted. There were so many people on the crew talking about it, so it would be an "accident" if word got out.

He rolled his eyes at Zhou Xun angrily, and then explained:

"Think about it, Sister Gong Li is a Singaporean, so being nominated is the greatest affirmation; and Tang Wei has been banned by the government by default. Even if she is nominated this time, it is still very uncertain;

As for Bai Baihe, there was a scandal in "Monster Hunt". To be nominated for this movie is to take care of the sentiments of the Hong Kong circle. Don’t forget, the Huabiao Award has another name – the Government Award! "

"So, Changchang (Shu Chang)'s only opponent is Teacher Zhao Tao (Zhao Tao)?" Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun asked in unison.

"Anyway, this is my analysis. Furthermore, Changchang was nominated for "Get Out! Tumor King". Last year, the film bureau consulted me whether this movie could be submitted for the Olympics! And Zhao Tao... "

At this point, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh: "Let me declare again, I didn't mean to make fun of director Jia Zhangke and his wife, haha...

The main thing is that Sister Zhao Tao is indeed very mysterious. She can get nominated most of the time, which is a symbol of her strength, but she can only go as far as being nominated every time! "

"Haha... Director Lin, you are going to make me laugh to death."

"Are you not calling this a joke?"

"Really, bro?"

Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang had three completely different reactions at this moment.

"In short, I just objectively analyzed the situation and summarized Sister Zhao Tao's past metaphysics experience; I have no derogatory meaning at all towards these competitors."

Lin Nan said quite seriously and rigorously, okay, he still couldn't help laughing. After all, Zhao Tao is known in the circle as "Staying Loud", and he is always just one step away from becoming the best actress!

After the four of them chatted and laughed for a few more minutes, Tian Zhuangzhuang also arrived.

In today's scene, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan will sit down with their lawyers for their first interview.

…

Outside, many people in the film and television circles are still immersed in the news of the Huabiao Awards.

It seems that this is also the first time that Lin Nan Pictures has "attended" Chinese film awards on a large scale in more than ten years since its establishment.

Unlike many filmmakers and actors in the industry, film and television investors are preparing for the financing dinner of Tudou in the evening.

Even investors who are powerless to invest in Tudou will not miss the dinner ceremony tonight. After all, the people on the scene are all people from the upper circle, and they are also extremely valuable connections and resources.

After getting off the plane, Ren Zhonglun got on the car to the Film Bureau.

Five days later, the Magic City International Film Festival officially opened; and as the competent unit, he had to come to the last relevant meeting of the Film Bureau before the opening ceremony.

"Today's time is good. After the meeting, I can go to Tudou in the evening."

"Mr. Ren, it seems that they said that Director Lin will still not attend the financing dinner." The secretary sitting in the co-pilot said.

"During the first round of financing dinner, he was filming Operation Mekong; this time, he is filming Marriage Story again, what a coincidence."

Ren Zhonglun smiled and shook his head, then frowned as if he thought of something: "Operation Mekong, it's already June, and there is no official announcement yet..."

As Ren Zhonglun said to La Peikang before, Shanghai Film Group has been fully prepared since the decision to set up the project to shoot that movie; by then, it will face the pressure of public opinion, the criticism of the competent department, and even punishment... Shanghai Film Group is mentally prepared!

"No need to wait for the second half of the year, it will be scheduled after the Magic City International Film Festival."

"Mr. Ren, what are you talking about?"

"Railroad Tigers."

...

On the monitor, when the male protagonist Lin Nan was hesitant and didn't know what he wanted to eat, Liu Yifei helped him make a choice immediately without seeking his opinion;

In this situation, just like in the past, she can always grasp what Lin Nan wants subconsciously, and understands him better than Lin Nan himself. But today is at the divorce negotiation table.

After a "click", everyone finished a day's filming.

"It can be seen from the scenes that there is still affection between the two; but they love each other, but they can't be together, because marriage buries love.

This is the fruitless efforts of two people with strong personalities to be together, just like the same pole of a magnet! Am I right, Director Lin?"

Zhou Xun showed off her literary talent and looked at Lin Nan jokingly.

"So, the two people who get married must complement each other in character, or both are soft-tempered, or one party can pamper and accommodate the other party."

"What about you and Yifei?" Zhou Xun joked tirelessly.

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and packed up his things to indicate that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't need to see him off, and then left the crew.

"How can I describe our relationship? We are very similar in character. We are both homebodies, have small friend circles, and are generous. We complement each other and can accommodate each other. There is no solution.

But there is one thing I want to complain about. I used to say that she was a gigolo, but you see, she has not given me a single giggle for so many years. She is too careless!"

Lin Nan started to "criticize" Liu Yifei. She did not refute him, but just raised her chin, hummed proudly, and laughed non-stop.

"Well, you are showing off your love again. Is it over?" Zhou Xun realized it later and started to curse.

"We started in school, Brother Xun." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"The movie was lost in the end because the man did not cherish the woman when she was silently paying. But in reality, Yifei and I are not like this at all."

Lin Nan's tone became more serious. Liu Yifei stretched out her hand, clasped her fingers tightly in his palm, and nodded with a smile.

"Get off work, I'm full of dog food!"

"Haha..."

"Brother Xun, take care, I won't see you off."

...

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan cooked dinner himself, paired with red wine... Chinese and Western style are quite romantic.

While he and Liu Yifei were enjoying their own world, the China World Trade Center had already become the focus of the media circle.

Hundreds of security personnel stopped the huge crowd of media reporters five meters away from the red carpet.

Under countless flashes and in the camera, there were top-level business cars, and figures in financial news and capital representatives.

In terms of the luxury and hugeness of the lineup, it was undoubtedly much more than the first round of financing dinner.

Among the guests from major capitals such as the film and television industry, the financial industry, the Internet industry, and departments such as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounting firms, there were not only many big-name stars and investors in the film and television entertainment industry, but also brokers...

In the Qunxian Banquet Hall, the lights were brilliant and the crowds were bustling.

People in suits and high-end evening gowns can be seen everywhere, chatting and laughing in groups; all the good-looking male and female waiters are interspersed among them, everything on the scene seems so formal and high-end.

"Mr. Yu, how many rounds of financing does Bonna plan to do? It has been listed once, and it should be quick to return to the A-share market this time?"

Wang Zhonglei tried to get close to Yu Dong with a fake smile, and a group of bank people were cheering on the side.

"How many rounds of financing? This will be determined after the first round of financing at the end of the year. As for when it can officially land on the A-share market, it's still too early. At least we have to wait until the previous link is completed and the IPO is submitted! Doesn't the China Securities Regulatory Commission still have to audit?" Yu Dong smiled perfunctorily.

"Mr. Wang, speaking of it, Huayi is also a well-deserved giant in the film and television industry. It's not a problem to always stay on the GEM. When will we come to the main board to kill everyone? Maybe we will go back to last year. The market value is nearly 100 billion, haha..."

People from CICC took over what Du Dong said and teased Wang Zhonglei, but the latter could only smile and deal with it without responding. At present, Huayi's market value is barely more than 40 billion, and it is difficult to reach 50 billion!

"Coming!"

Many soft calls came out, and the Qunxian Banquet Hall, which occupied an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, suddenly became quiet.

Nearly a thousand eyes looked at Wang Wei, Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin, and Penguin's senior vice president as they entered the banquet hall.

“Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Tudou’s second round of financing dinner, thank you.

I won’t go into details about the current situation of Tudou. It was already stated at the dinner on November 1 last year. The current assets, copyrights, and market share will only be more and bigger!

Assets and copyrights have expanded, which is inevitable because we have invested 3 billion; but the market share has expanded by 3 points... This should have been very difficult, and here I would like to thank our competitors for their laxness..."

Wang Wei was talking from above with a smile on his face. When he heard the sound below, it immediately became noisy and there was constant discussion.

Potato has never had many competitors because its market share has always been number one. The only one that can be regarded as a rival by Tudou is Youku, which ranks second.

This is undoubtedly naming Youku!

Because everyone knows that since Youku was swallowed up by Alibaba in October last year, personnel adjustments and changes there have not stopped, and the scope is getting bigger and bigger;

One by one, senior executives came from Alibaba to replace the original Youku management... In the past half year, Youku has been in a bit of a mess, but Gu Yongqiang has tried his best!

"I've said a lot of digressions, now I get to the main topic tonight."

Wang Wei paused for a moment, and everyone at the scene suddenly became attentive. Here comes the content that everyone is most concerned about.

“In Tudou’s second round of external financing, our market value quotation starts at 45 billion, and we plan to accept one or two new shareholders;

According to the resolution of the major shareholder of the board of directors, in this round of financing, Tudou’s share of equity that can be sold is 8%...

Anyone who is interested can send each company's quotation, corresponding shares, and additional resources to Tudou by email or file starting tomorrow. The deadline is the 26th of this month, and we will announce the results on the last day of the month.

Well, let me say one last thing, 45 billion is just the starting price, you... can pay a premium! Mr. Wang, it’s your turn. "

Before hundreds of people at the scene could react, Wang Wei had already handed over to Wang Changtian, who stood on the rostrum.

"Oh, two financing dinners finally gave me a chance to go on stage and speak. This is also the last chance."

Wang Changtian is also an old fox with many years of experience. He adjusted the atmosphere of the scene as soon as he came up.

Many people were stunned by the "last chance" before they could recover from keywords such as "45 billion", "8%", and "premium".

"Could it be?"

"Just two rounds?"

…

"That's right, now it's up to me to announce the launch of potatoes."

Wang Changtian stopped smiling. He glanced at the hundreds of people present and spoke very seriously and formally.

"After the second round of financing is completed, Tudou will not conduct a third round of financing. ICBC will be the sponsor for Tudou's listing on the Hong Kong stock market... Tudou plans to officially launch the IPO process and road show in the first half of next year... to land on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange …”

At this moment, in the Qunxian Banquet Hall, many capital investors' eyes were shining with excitement. After waiting for several years, Tudou finally came to market.

No matter which industry's capital is present, without exception, no one will doubt the prospects of Tudou. Once it goes on the market, it will definitely be a top giant and a behemoth!

"We will meet tomorrow morning to formulate a second-round valuation offer for Tudou."

"Revalue it."

"We have to raise our offer!"

…………

One night passed, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei slept soundly and sweetly.

When I woke up in the morning, although the news related to Tudou's financing dinner was reported, it did not spread to the public.

The reason is that after all, it is not film and television entertainment information, but business news. Of course, there must be a "boiling" state among the upper echelons of the film and television industry.

Because Tudou is the video website and Internet broadcast platform with the largest market share, it is related to the interests of countless film and television companies and even actors in the industry!

In fact, the most popular entertainment information on the Internet and the most searched on Weibo comes from the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival. For this reason, Lin Nan also had a phone call with Cao Baoping on the way to the set.

"There are only four days left before the official opening of the Magic City International Film Festival. At 8 o'clock this morning, the film festival organizing committee announced the list of shortlisted films for each unit module..."

"A total of three Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition at this Shanghai International Film Festival. Among them, following last year's "Heart of the Burning Sun", director Cao Baoping will once again compete for the Golden Goblet Award with his new film "The Chaser"!"

"It is reported that the movie "The Chaser" is exclusively produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, starring Liu Ye, Zhang Yi, Wang Ziwen and others..."

…

Sitting on the director's chair, Lin Nan and Yue Jun talked about business over the phone.

The latter is currently in Shanghai, busy with the promotions of "Operation Mekong", "The Chaser" and even "Donkey Gets Water".

And most of the actors and artists in the film and television industry have already set off to the Magic City.

Because there is a Magnolia Awards Ceremony and red carpet before the film festival, on the night of the 10th, the day before the opening ceremony.

"Yifei, Zhou Xun and I are on the afternoon flight of the 9th, and the hotel is also booked together, so you can meet us at the airport together."

After Lin Nan said this, Zhou Xun on the side gave him a thumbs up, as if to "praise you".

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, I know, Director Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan immediately turned off the phone. Because in just this short moment, several more calls came in.

If he guessed correctly, it should all be because of Tudou. After all, there are a lot of capital to start from him!

"Get ready, start filming immediately."

"Well, wait for you for a while, Director Lin." Liu Yifei sat there, laughing and shouting.

The crew of "Marriage Story" continued to enter the full swing of filming, and the progress is now more than half. With everyone in the crew fully engaged, time seemed to pass a little faster, and the day on the 7th ended in a hurry.

"X-Men: Apocalypse", "Alice in Wonderland 2" and other imported blockbusters are still dominating the domestic film market, and the world-class big IP "Warcraft" finally landed in the national theaters at midnight on the 8th and joined the battle.

The 65% screening rate is enough to show the expectations of the national cinemas for this blockbuster. And its amazing box office of 300 million on the first day did not disappoint anyone.

This single-day box office result also successfully became the second highest single-day box office in the Chinese-language film market after "Fast and Furious 7"!

An unpopular schedule has completely turned into a hot schedule, and the summer schedule has really started a month in advance.

However, only imported movies can enjoy the first month of the "summer schedule". As for a group of Chinese-language movies, they are undoubtedly annihilated and become cannon fodder!

…

Han Jianu was packing her suitcase. She had been stuck in the capital for half a year. Apart from a few dinners with Liu Yifei, she hadn’t been out much. This time, she must have a good time during the Shanghai International Film Festival!

As for the script that didn’t have a name yet, well, I’ll slowly revise it after I come back from playing.

“You really don’t want to come with me?”

Han Sanping asked with a bit of jealousy. It’s really absurd that she has to go with Lin Nan and his group even though she’s his daughter!

“It’s too boring to go with you and Uncle La. We’ll just talk about business on the way. There’s no one to joke with me.” Han Jianu replied with disdain.

Before Han Sanping could refute, classmate Han stood up, picked up his suitcase and walked out, saying with a smile:

"Old Han, I'm going to Yifei first. I'll park the Ferrari at her house for this week, hehe..."

"Go, go, go, get out of here. Your car was bought with my salary."

"Just wait, I will definitely change the car myself this time. Okay, I'll change one for you too!"

Han Jianu pouted and assured Han Sanping confidently. Although Han Sanye didn't believe it, he still smiled: "Oh, I'll wait!"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the leaky cotton jacket left the villa without looking back, and soon, the roar of the engine was heard!

Han Sanping smiled and shook his head, and the next second, his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Well, I know about the flight tomorrow morning. Ningying is going to announce a project during the film festival? Are they finally willing to bring it out? This is specially to show off..."

...

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, after the last shot of the "Marriage Story" crew was finished, Lin Nan directly announced that he would take a holiday until the 19th and resume work on the morning of the 20th.

Zhou Xun hurriedly left the crew with her assistant and agreed that she would rush to meet up with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

And Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also had to go home to prepare their luggage, after all, they were going to play in Shanghai for 10 days. Director Lin also had to go to Weibo's movie night to support the platform, who made him a major shareholder!

As soon as the two returned home, Luo Jin called, "You can come to my house this time."

"Did you buy a house in Shanghai?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously. This guy really did a big thing quietly.

"Well, I bought it! I will settle down in Shanghai from now on. I am going to sell the house in the capital..." Luo Jin said with a smile. He made a great decision because Tang Yan did not want to settle down in the capital.

"Sure, Luo Jin. Is Tangtang next to you?" Liu Yifei also joined in the fun.

"Yes, Xixi." Tang Yan's voice sounded instantly, with a happy mood.

"So, do we have to prepare another share of money when we go there this time?" Miss Liu rarely joked.

Sure enough, there was only laughter on the other end of the phone. After a while, Luo Jin said: "Don't worry, while we are in good shape, we are going to fight for a few more years, haha..."

"Okay, then see you at Magnolia tomorrow. I will fly over this afternoon. Xixi and I are not going to go out for a stroll."

"Well, okay."

"As a local, I will be the host this time...outside or at home."
