That year Huayu

"Best Picture Award, shortlist: "The Mystery of the Floating City", "The Gunslinger", "Detective Huntley"..."

"Best Director Award, shortlist: Lin Nan, Lou Ye, Gao Qunshu, Du Qifeng..."

…

In the mainland film and television industry, countless people wiped their eyes and confirmed again and again that there was no dazzling look!

"The Gunslinger" swept eight nominations.

Liu Yifei is nominated for Best Actress; Shu Chang is nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Zhu Yawen, nominated for Best Actor; Luo Jin, nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

In addition, there are two nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Editing.

The media and film circles are in a frenzy. Is it so powerful? !

You know, Lin Nan has not participated in the awards at the Chinese Film Festival for many years.

But today, many years later, eight nominations strongly illustrate everything.

In other words, his status, strength and influence in the Chinese film industry are beyond doubt.

"Golden Horse announced the shortlist, and "The Genius" topped the list with eight nominations."

"Seven years ago, what Director Lin Nan failed to get at the Golden Rooster, will he be able to get more at the Golden Horse seven years later?"

"After "The Star" was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Liu Yifei's first Chinese-language Best Actress nomination is worth looking forward to!"

…

The Weibo accounts of Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen and others are filled with various congratulatory posts and messages, and the number is increasing rapidly every minute and every second.

Phone calls, text messages, bombardment.

Liu Yifei held her cell phone and had been taking calls for more than an hour.

There was an endless stream of congratulations, compliments, and connections, and Ms. Liu responded patiently.

On her delicate face was a smile of excitement and joy, as if it was about to overflow at any moment.

She glanced at Lin Nan next to her from time to time. The lazy and arrogant look between her eyebrows was very tempting, and Lin Nan wanted to take a bite.

Lin Nan was not idle either. Congratulatory text messages and phone calls from acquaintances in the circle were pouring in, and he was also answering the phone at this moment.

"You are so fierce this time, with eight nominations! Also, with the domestic box office of 1.43 billion, who dares not to pay attention to it? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Ning Hao obviously called to congratulate him, but his tone became sour unconsciously.

Lin Nan couldn't help but joked: "Your sour smell is coming along with the signal, haha..."

"The great director's abominable face is so ugly! Today, my friends are gone and I am dead."

…

The Internet is also very lively, and there is everything.

"Director Lin's eight Golden Horse Award nominations remind me of director Feng Xiaogang's nine Golden Rooster Award nominations last year for "Earthquake."

"Oh, poor Director Feng. He was nominated for all the awards, but in the end, he was only awarded the Best Art and Music Awards. It's simply a naked humiliation!"

"Feng Jinping's speeches during the nomination and after the award were also very funny. He kept praising him at the beginning and scolding him at the end. It was so ridiculous, haha..."

"If Director Lin's eight nominations were placed at the Golden Rooster Awards, today's nomination day would be the time to be eliminated. Because 99.99% of the Golden Rooster Awards will not give him these awards..."

…

With the announcement of the Golden Horse Awards shortlist, if the cast and crew of "The Genius" received the most attention from the industry, then the most excited one was none other than Nortel.

Because there are 5 people in the main creative team of this film, 4 of them are from Nortel, and they were all classmates in grade 02!

On the school’s official website, within half an hour after the list was announced, a new post was pinned to the top:

"Congratulations to the outstanding alumni of our school's directing department and acting department, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others, for being nominated for eight Golden Horse Awards with the movie "Genius Gunslinger". I look forward to the day when they win the award ceremony..."

Lin Nan felt dumbfounded when he saw the information reproduced by the media from Nortel.

The school is too high-profile. It is still in the nomination stage. If something unexpected happens...

"Bah, bah, bah, where is the accident? There is no accident!"

Lin Nan quickly cleared his mind of all those irrelevant thoughts.

…

For the actresses who were born in 1985 in the industry, Liu Yifei has long been at the level of a big flower, and she was no longer in the same class as them a long time ago.

After "The Condor", I haven't touched any TV series again. It’s all cinema along the way. Now she is one of the most commercially valuable actresses and a major producer...

Now I see Liu Yifei once again nominated for Best Actress after Cannes.

Apart from envy, a group of actresses born in 1985 don't seem to have much jealousy.

Because the distance is already too far.

"Perhaps starting from Venice's confession that year... no, starting from her coming-of-age ceremony... her road has been paved for her and protected all the way..."

Yang Mi said with a little emotion. At this moment, she is full of fighting spirit again and has regained greater "ambition".

She not only wants to be a great actress, but also a producer, a film and television company boss, and a capital in the film and television industry...

"Is it done so quickly?"

Looking at Zeng Jia coming back, Yang Mi asked.

“The registration has just been submitted, and it won’t take long for the license to be issued.

When the contract expires, we can directly enable the studio to conduct business with external parties, including signing new artists and new managers..."

"Jiaxing?"

"Yes, you and I are both shareholders and bosses."

"Can."

Yang Mi nodded and said.

…………

It is certainly something to be happy about when "The Gunslinger" received 8 nominations.

But for Lin Nan, the most important thing at the moment is the premiere and release of "Passengers".

Liu Yifei didn't mind these other things and went out for a ride with Shu Chang.

Lin Nan returned to the company alone. He first accepted a wave of congratulations and promised in advance to increase the year-end bonus, and then entered the office.

"Today, news came out from the bureau that it seems that special film funds will be allocated to subsidize theaters that screen more domestic films."

"What a strange thing, why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Lin Nan said with a smile.

""The Genius" has exploded, but the market for domestic films is still declining. In the past nine years, the box office share of domestic films in the market has been more than 50% every year.

But this Monday morning, data released by the Film Bureau showed that so far this year, the box office share of domestic films has dropped below 30%. "

Lin Nan understood at this point that this was indeed not good news. The 20% gap meant a loss of nearly 3 billion yuan, and this was only more than 9 months.

"Okay, these are not things for us to get involved in. If we make our own movies, we are trying our best to contribute.

You communicated well with all the actors and attended the premiere on time. Let Reba be more formal, this movie is her real big screen debut. "

"Well, I'll confirm it later."

…

Zhang Ziyi's "Dangerous Liaisons" was released on the same day as "Passengers" and "Tai Chi 1".

In comparison, Fan Bingbing's "Double Exposure" was released two days later, and the same was true for its premiere.

It just so happened that the premiere of "Dangerous Liaisons" happened to be on the same day as "Passengers."

This is much more interesting. Many guests must have received two invitations...

In other words, martial arts movies seem to be a hurdle that Hong Kong and Taiwan directors can never get around.

Hou Xiaoxian's "Assassin Nie Yinniang" has started shooting, and many mainland production companies and filmmakers have expressed their expectations.

Hua Yi praised and praised the heroine Shu Qi with all his heart.

Everyone knows that "Xiuchundao" is a combination of officialdom and martial arts, and "The Four Famous Catchers" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are pure martial arts films.

But Lin Nan said that this was the first time he heard the concept and name of "costume literary and martial arts movies".

An artsy martial arts movie? Can these two types come together?

The essence of martial arts movies is the flash of swords, the love between children, and a little bit about family, country, and world. They are inherently passionate and commercial.

What about art films? On the contrary, there are mostly artistic elements and as few commercial elements as possible!

Lin Nan found these two things very funny when he heard them put together.

…………

The premiere of "Passengers" is coming soon.

The attention of the industry has also shifted from the Golden Horse nomination of "The Genius" to the film competing for the Oscars.

The annual Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film has begun again.

Lin Nan didn't think about getting involved in this matter, but he was still informed.

After all, the most eye-catching movie in China so far this year is "The Gunslinger".

After careful consideration by the film bureau, they felt that the theme of "cyber violence" has more practical significance.

"So, Director Chen got the quota again?"

"Yes, the bureau has decided on "Search". Although you didn't choose to send the movie, I still let you know. You can also choose the subject later and compete for the best foreign language film."

Lin Nan smiled and agreed, Best Foreign Language Film, he would try it in the future.

But at this moment, he was more curious about Feng Xiaogang's reaction. He should be quite unhappy and aggrieved, right?

After all these years, Director Feng finally mustered up the courage and confidence to take "1942" outside to see it.

In order to meet the registration requirements, several separate screenings were even held.

In the end, the bureau ruthlessly abandoned him and chose Chen Kaige. This was a slap in the face!

The next day, news spread that "Search" had been selected by the Film Bureau and would be sent to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.

This also means that several movies such as "1942" have no chance.

According to the character of the small steel cannon in the past, it was impossible not to fire two shots.

Although Feng Xiaogang has said in public countless times that Chen Kaige is a god and a master.

But after taking his spot, he had to complain when he should, and he immediately expressed his opinions publicly.

“Searching is a good movie, but it’s just a good movie.

I think "1942" is more suitable to represent China and participate in the competition for the best foreign language film.

That is a true history, more profound, more touching and more representative than "Search"..."

This was the first time that Director Feng did not praise Director Chen, which surprised the industry for a while.

Sure enough, with competition, the "master" Feng Xiaogang calls himself can be overthrown.

On the contrary, Chen Kaige seemed very calm here and only responded with one sentence, "Respect the leadership's arrangement."

Lin Nan recalled Han Sanping's suggestion that he should strive for the best foreign language film in the future. If he really decided to do this, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou would be the first hurdle!

These two people are simply engaged in monopoly, and the domestic quotas of Lianzhuang are exchanged!

…………

Facts have proved that as long as Liu Yifei doesn't wear a dress, she can save 80% of her makeup time.

Every time this time comes, women will definitely wear casual suits and high heels.

The most accessories she wears are earrings and women's watches, coupled with bright makeup, highlighting the look of a heroic and strong woman.

The ever-changing styles always make Lin Nan unable to stop...

"Today's lipstick is sweet."

Liu Yifei held her bag, stood in front of Lin Nan, and said playfully.

Lin Nan was unmoved, smiled and shook his head, "Then I'll try it again when I get back from the premiere."

The last time he went to an event, Lin Nan made a fool of himself. Liu Yifei's lipstick was not wiped clean, causing him to be stared at by many people. He wanted to laugh but dared not, which made Lin Nan very puzzled.

In the end, it was Han Sanping who pointed him out and asked him to pay attention to his image in public...

"Hey, that's a beautiful idea, let's go."

Throwing the bag to Lin Nan, Miss Liu walked out of the villa with a sneer.

…

Today's premiere is destined to be interesting.

A lot of people in the industry have to choose between "Passengers" and "Dangerous Liaisons," but I think it's going to be a good choice.

…………

At the premiere, people from several producers were present, and more than half of the guests were also present.

"China Film, Lin Nan Pictures, Wanda, Enlight, and China Aviation Industry Corporation of China. Compared with "The Martian", "Passengers" only lacks Shanghai Film Group, haha."

Ren Zhonglun looked at Han Sanping, who had a sinister face and a smile on his side, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"You are very good at what you do. Since that time, Shangying has been completely excluded by you!"

"Old Ren, you have to be more open-minded, this is all fate. The Shanghai Film Group has a big business, and there is no shortage of these projects, don't you think so?"

Han Sanping is untouchable, no matter what your attitude is, I will just laugh. Anyway, I got a benefit and let you take advantage of it, no problem at all.

Ren Zhonglun never expected that Lin Nan, who was sponsored by Shanghai Film Academy, would now be completely together with China Film Academy.

Starting from "Thieves", especially when they rejected "Painted Skin 2", they have never contacted Shanghai Film Studio for any projects since then, including today's "Passengers".

"I don't know whether it's life or death. I only know that you said more than once: 'There are enough investors, there is no need to go to the movies.'"

Ren Zhonglun didn't have a good face at all. Thinking about those movies that Shanghai Film Studio did not participate in, it was really heartbreaking.

If "Passengers" is a box office hit again, what about his face at group meetings?

Why did the first sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian" have Shanghai Films, but the second "Passengers" only lacked Shanghai Films?

"When you watch the movie later, be careful, there will be a surprise!"

Han Sanping looked around and talked about him, then changed the topic with a smile.

"What surprise?" Ren Zhonglun asked subconsciously.

"There are scenes of me making a cameo in it. After all, I am an investor. I have to support him, hahaha..."

As soon as these words came out, Ren Zhonglun's face turned even darker.
