That year Huayu

Not long ago, Wu Gan and Xie Nan were joking with Lin Nan, saying that they should let things take their own course and don't spread the word about their friends yet.

As a result, the two of them were followed by paparazzi today, and photos of them being unable to hold back and "getting close" in the car were secretly taken.

At the critical moment, the gentleman is very responsible. Wu Gao posted on Weibo and humorously admitted:

“Reflecting on my former instructor, he was an excellent special operations team member, but he was followed and photographed by civilians without any notice.

I actually forgot about counter-tracking, counter-reconnaissance, and counter-containment. I really feel ashamed of the training given by the army. I will punish myself with a thousand sit-ups. I will never underestimate the enemy next time..."

As a rare kung fu film actor in the industry, Wu Gan's news has also attracted much attention from the media and netizens.

In addition, the woman is also the host of Guangguang. In less than half a day, the two received a large number of blessings from people in the industry.

Lin Nan couldn't help but join in the fun and joked:

"Look, love is indeed a honeypot. Even people who have participated in special forces training become unresponsive and lose vigilance after falling into it..."

In less than half an hour, Lin Nan was asked by Wu Gan and others, "What about Director Lin?"

"Well... I'm addicted to it and can't extricate myself!"

…………

Cannes is about to open.

The number of domestic films to be exhibited there this time has more than doubled compared to previous years.

Regardless of whether it can be sold or how much it can be sold, everyone is ready to give it a try, otherwise the only outcome is to be killed by imported films.

"The media meeting for "Xuanyuan Sword"? They can really mess around. But that's right, the main business is TV series."

The "Xuanyuan Sword" filmed by Tang Dynasty last year has been scheduled to premiere in the first few days of this summer vacation.

Regardless of whether there is cooperation or not, or whether there is competition among artists, Cai Yinong still sent an invitation to Lin Nan Pictures. This is an unspoken rule within the circle.

"Director Yue is not here, and Director Jiang also took people to Cannes in advance. When the time comes, feel free to send someone there."

"Okay, Director Lin."

The assistant responded and left the office.

Suddenly, Lin Nan put down the pen in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

He remembered another interesting thing, also from the Tang Dynasty, which had just been reported by the media in the past two days.

Logically speaking, whether it is a movie or a TV series, if you want to shoot it, you must at least submit the script for review and obtain a filming permit from the General Administration before filming can officially start.

But Cai Yinong just didn't follow the rules and made a series of tricks.

In early March, the media reported that Tang Dynasty had launched "The Ballad of the Desert" in a low-key manner. Tang Dynasty did not respond, and even became more low-key, almost secretly.

Now that more than two months have passed, people in the industry know why Tang Ren was so low-key at that time.

Because "The Ballad of the Desert" was filmed without approval.

Everyone in the film and television industry can guess what Cai Yinong is planning.

I just want to take the script to the General Administration for review, filing, and a filming permit when the TV series is about to be filmed.

Because this can save a lot of time, and as long as the General Administration does not catch any actual violations, it will be fine.

But after all calculations, the final outcome was completely beyond Cai Yinong's expectations, and the people of Tang Dynasty were caught off guard.

The script of "The Ballad of the Desert" was directly killed by the General Administration!

You know, the upcoming "The Ballad of the Desert" was filmed according to this script and has already cost tens of millions!

No matter how hard Tangren tried to find ways and connections this time, it was all to no avail.

The General Administration even gave a clear reason for the cancellation of "The Ballad of the Desert": suspected illegal filming, non-compliance with mainstream values, serious distortion and falsification of history, and smearing of historical celebrities...

Some media broke the news on the Internet that the content of the script was completely copied from the novel. After reading it, many people in the industry felt that it was indeed excessive.

The Western Han Dynasty's actions against the Xiongnu were defined as aggression, and the positions of good and evil were reversed. The Han Dynasty was severely vilified, and the Xiongnu were just;

Huo Qubing sealed Lang Juxu as a result of jealousy over a woman...

…

If this kind of script is not killed, it is simply unreasonable.

But even so, there are still a large number of Tang fans who openly oppose and refute the General Administration on the Internet.

However, more netizens still support the General Administration’s opinions and support the ban.

If something like this happens in a period film, the damage to the muscles and bones will be minor.

The only way for the Tang people was to make major changes! I definitely can't afford a remake. There is no need to think about making money, the key is to recover losses as much as possible.

In two days, Tang Ren will hold a media meeting for "Xuanyuan Sword", and it is estimated that "The Ballad of the Desert" will be the focus of questions.

…

"How many days are you going to go?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the transaction situation."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, as winners of the Jury Prize last year, were invited to Cannes this year.

But Miss Liu had work and couldn't go, and Lin Nan was not interested in the red carpet alone, so she simply declined the red carpet invitation.

For him, it is business to go there and sell the copyright for a good price!

Originally, Lin Nan was planning to go there in the last few days, but Jiang Yuerou called back and hoped that he could go there in advance, which would be more conducive to the promotion of the movie.

"Then I'll drive you to the airport." Miss Liu arranged.

"Of course, as long as you can afford it. This time I'm setting off with Ning Hao and Zhong Lifang. The flight is at eight in the morning." Lin Nan joked.

"As long as I remember, I can get up."

Liu Yifei raised her lips slightly, vowing firmly. She still had this little bit of confidence, so she just pretended to be on the set and got up early to film. She brainwashed herself like this...

…………

During the May Day holiday, everyone thought the film market would be better this month, especially for domestic films.

Looking back now, the idea at that time was indeed a bit ridiculous and naive. The overall market was weaker than in April, let alone domestic films.

The box office of imported films, especially "The Avengers" as an example, can be described as triumphant and overwhelming.

Several Hollywood movies put together account for more than 90% of the box office every day, and the remaining less than 10% is shared by more than a dozen domestic films.

"Two hundred million is a bit difficult."

Ning Hao sighed and called Lin Nan, feeling like he was in bad luck and had a bad fate.

"It's already 173 million, so keep struggling. Or think about the copyright in advance and how much you want to sell it for."

Lin Nan said casually. When he originally invested in "The Robbery", it was just out of favor. Now the box office is already very good compared to other domestic films.

"I want to sell it for tens of millions of dollars, is it possible? I don't have a Golden Lion or a Silver Bear..."

As he spoke, Ning Hao suddenly raised his voice:

"I want to inform Xiaoma that in the producer column of promotional materials and posters, your name must be placed at the front, make it bigger and bolder!"

Hearing this, Lin Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Originally, Xiao Ma was at the top of the list of producers. After all, others invested the most. But if you go to Cannes to sell copyrights, it makes sense to put Lin Nan first. I have absolutely no objection to Xiao Ma.

"Director Ning is really 'witty'!"

"You're welcome, isn't Director Lin's name more useful, haha..."

…

The next day, Liu Yifei, dressed in casual sportswear, with long hair shawl and wearing sunglasses, personally sent Lin Nan to the airport.

Lin Nan didn't bring anyone else with her on this trip. Many of Jiang Yuerou's employees would pick her up there.

Outside the airport, Zhong Lifang, Ning Hao and others had just arrived.

"Director Lin."

"Oh, Yifei sent it personally!"

"Yeah, didn't that sister give it to you?" Liu Yifei smiled.

The smile on Ning Hao's face suddenly froze:

"Well, since I had my son, my family status has plummeted. I used to give him as a gift when I was on business trips, but now I don't bother to care about me anymore..."

"Director Lin, Director Ning, are you going to Cannes?"

The reporter who was stopped on the side shouted loudly.

"Yes." Zhong Lifang replied.

"Let's go in quickly. It's not good to be stuck here."

Lin Nan turned around, hugged Liu Yifei in his arms, kissed her, and said softly: "You should go back quickly, you can still get some sleep."

"Well, I'll watch you go in and leave." Liu Yifei said crisply, with a smile on her face.

The reporters on the side were pressing their shutters frantically...

…………

An hour later, there was an additional article in the news section of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Director Lin Nan, Director Ning Hao, and Ms. Zhong Lifang will leave for the Cannes Film Festival in the morning. I wish the film copyright transaction a great success!"

"Lin Nan and Liu Yifei kissed at the airport..."

"Director Jiang Wen will announce new film plans at the Cannes Film Festival..."

"Jackie Chan released the trailer for "Zodiac" in Cannes..."

…

Ten hours later, the group left Nice Airport.

"After all, the Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigious, but there is no international airport nearby. You have to go from Paris to Nice. It's really rubbish..."

Ning Hao said cursingly.

A hurried foreign filmmaker next to him obviously understood Chinese. He turned back and gave Ning Hao a thumbs-up, "Good, you're right, it's such rubbish!"

At this moment, Lin Nan and others couldn't help laughing.

"I say Director Ning, pay attention to the impact. If it is reported by foreign media, you may not know what to say. Although you are telling the truth, haha..."

Jiang Yuerou and others were waiting outside the airport. The pony people are there too.

Zhong Lifang came here not only to sell copyrights with Ning Hao, but also to buy batches of films.

"I'll follow Director Lin, Mr. Zhong, let's meet in Cannes." Ning Hao said proactively.

"Okay, see you later."

…………

After getting in the car, Jiang Yuerou started talking about business.

“This year, almost all domestic production companies have come here, and they have no confidence in the movie’s domestic box office.

There is still more than a day left before the opening ceremony, but many domestic films have already been sold. Prices range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are currently no ones worth millions..."

"Are they all from ordinary directors?" Ning Hao asked a little unsurely.

Jiang Yanrou nodded, "Yes. Among Chinese films, "The Genius" and "Passengers" directed by Lin, and "Search" directed by Chen Kaige, these films are the highlights that have attracted much attention.

Domestic films with relatively high investment are also waiting to see what happens after the opening ceremony. At that time, there were more large-scale business associations..."

The more Ning Hao listened, the less confident he became. Here, he is just an ordinary Chinese film director with no reputation at all.

"Director Lin, it's up to you."

Lin Nan chuckled and nodded, "Don't be so desperate."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan looked at Jiang Yuerou, the co-pilot, "Have the reservations been made for the screening room?"

"The screening room for "The Genius" has been set up, and Director Lin's reputation is very useful.

China Film Group is in charge of "Passengers," so that's no problem. "

"That's good."

Lin Nan is full of expectations for this trip to Cannes.

The audience for science fiction romance films is not small.

And "Genius Gunslinger"? Aren’t exams the same thing all over the world? !

"This time, I want a higher price!"

Lin Nan said confidently with confidence in his tone.

Jiang Yuerou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed:

"Many film dealers are asking when we will start screenings. I believe that the transaction price of Director Lin's film this time will reach a new high."

"Especially your and Yifei's "Genius", many film producers also mentioned last year's "The Fault in Our Stars"..."

"Let's take a rest, it's killing me."

Beside, Ning Hao said something coldly.

"Haha, okay, listen to director Ning Hao. We'll be there soon, I'll treat you."

Looking at Ning Hao's sour look, Lin Nan said with a smile.
