That year Huayu

"This month, Sissi is hosting a birthday party, and you all should come over then."

Mother Liu told Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen with a smile.

"Don't worry, Auntie, we will definitely arrive."

"That's good, you guys chat, I'll go in first and I recommend drinking less ice orange juice."

The relationship between Shu Chang and Liu's mother is very good, just like his other daughter.

"I know, Auntie."

Shu Chang answered while still sucking on the straw.

"You girl."

Mother Liu smiled and shook her head and entered the villa.

"If you ask me, you can just call me godmother." Zhu Yawen said.

"Good idea." Liu Yifei agreed.

"Auntie is fine. If I call her godmother, I really have to let Sissi be my sister. I won't do it."

Shu Chang shook his head and smiled.

"You're quite good at calculating." Liu Yifei joked.

"That's not the case."

…

The decline of "Seven Swords" is a bit unstoppable.

Judging from the current box office situation, it is difficult for blockbusters with huge investments to recover their costs, let alone make profits.

Xu Ke has been the best director of Golden Horse for a long time, and this time the cast of "Seven Swords" is even stronger.

Before the release, during the promotion, he emphasized that he had carefully polished the script for several years, and now it is better. The plot was the biggest failure and there was no way to make it right.

The crew stepped up their promotional efforts, and all the big names came out. With the advantage of the lineup, the media was very generous and gave a lot of coverage, but the effect was not too optimistic.

Film critics and audiences are once again on opposite sides. The former praise the superb acting, gorgeous images, and careful filming, but the audience mostly says they don't understand and only remember that there are many stars.

The box office cannot be saved.

When the accounts of "Into the Dust" were divided, after China Film deducted the publicity expenses proportionally, it was equivalent to a 50-50 split with Lin Nan.

From the beginning, I never expected this movie to have much box office success, but fortunately, both companies made a profit.

Lionsgate's share of "Dead Silence" is being settled and will be linked to Lin Nan in accordance with the contract. Future re-screenings, discs, and other continued profits will also be accumulated.

Ever since Huayi admitted Wang Jinghua's departure, the industry has been paying close attention to the latter's whereabouts, especially since there are dozens of mature artists, actors and stars behind her.

Whoever can recruit Wang Jinghua will definitely win, because the most important part of spending resources and cultivating artists is saved. This is a team that can directly make money.

The news gradually became clear, and the media took photos of Wang Jinghua meeting with Chengtian executives.

As soon as this news appeared in the newspapers, the same news came out over there.

“Chengtian welcomes Wang Jinghua’s team to join us. We respect Ms. Wang’s opinions on team management and accept some of her plans that could not be implemented before.

The company will jointly establish a brokerage company with Ms. Wang, which will be controlled and independently managed by Ms. Wang Jinghua. We will do our best to help make the new company the largest performing arts brokerage company in China with the largest and most professional business operations..."

This announcement directly poked Hua Yi's lungs.

Wang Jinghua's announcement to the media was more direct, "Thank you Chengtian for your selfless trust in me. The new company has been established, and the office address has been chosen in SOHO Modern City. We also welcome past partners, major sponsors, and film and television companies to discuss cooperation. …”

I don’t know what the Hua Yi brothers’ reaction was. Anyway, Lin Nan was amazed at the efficiency of the work. If Wang Jinghua and Cheng Tian didn’t discuss it before, he wouldn’t believe it to death.

Subsequently, all the artists who followed Wang Jinghua's departure spoke out one after another, and the business negotiation address was also located at the new company's address.

No wonder people say that Huayi has been hollowed out. Isn't this just 80% of the money? The newly established brokerage company has immediately become one of the top three companies in the country, and its artists are at least third-tier.

An invitation letter to the cocktail party was sent to Lin Nan's company, signed by Shiba Culture and Chengtian. The former was the name of Wang Jinghua's new company.

The establishment of a new company has just been announced, and a celebratory reception is about to be held. In fact, it is also a business-level move. I heard that many people in the industry have been invited.

Lin Nan decided not to go, and it was best to find a reason.

The main reason was that he didn't want to interact with Cheng Tian. Moreover, he had just made a fortune from Huayi and was considered a partner, so he had to take some care.

…

According to Zhu Yawen, although there were many people at the reception that day, there were very few big names. Many of the invited directors, producers, and film and television companies did not come, or those who went were only deputy ones. Huayi's influence cannot be underestimated. Disdainful.

This reception to build momentum was not considered a success, but it was still exaggerated in the media, and it was obviously a waste of money.

A few months ago, the Magic City International Film Festival invited Lin Nan, but he found a reason to refuse. Mr. Ren also had some objections. Not long after, he received another invitation from Huabiao. In order to take care of the reputation of the Magic City Film Festival, Lin Nan Nan also refused.

At the end of this month, Huabiao presented its awards at the Capital Exhibition Hall. Lin Nan also took a special look at the nomination list.

Good Guys is indeed an encouraging film festival. For the Outstanding Feature Film Award alone, seventeen films were nominated.

The rhythm of giving rewards depends on the situation, because its purpose is to encourage nature, and extra yolk eggs are the norm.

Ning Hao sighed a little because the Magic City Film Festival had injured him. Later, when Lin Nan asked him again if he would go to Huabiao, he refused without even thinking about it. At this moment, he was dumbfounded. Huabiao was going to wholesale the trophies. Although The gold content is not high, but it is also an official award.

When Lin Nan came to Bad Monkey, Ning Hao still had a grimace on his face, and Xing Aina was laughing at him but he couldn't look away.

"Why are you here?"

"Come and see, what's the point of a fancy watch?" Lin Nan joked.

"As for the serious film festival awards, I haven't received them yet. Before, they were all short film awards. With the results of "Stone", I will get an individual award no matter what."

Ning Hao said angrily, and then thought that he seemed to be the one who refused, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"Hurry up and sit down, I'll get you some fruit." Xing Aina turned and left.

"Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome, aren't you?"

Lin Nan leaned back on the chair casually, "Last time I came here, I saw you were working on the MV plan, why haven't you decided yet?"

"The lyrics and music side have been revising it, and there will definitely be some adjustments on my side, but the framework remains unchanged. Once the songs are recorded there, I will start work here."

Speaking of work, Ning Hao instantly became energetic.

Xing Aina brought a fruit platter, and they chatted while eating.

When it comes to this year's film festival, we have to talk about the timing of the Golden Horse and the Golden Rooster. The award ceremonies are right next to each other.

It has been decided at a meeting above that after this year the Golden Rooster will be changed to a biennial event, staggered with the Hundred Flowers event.

Sanya is the venue for this year's Golden Rooster. It is a tourist destination and has been preparing to host a special event to stimulate a wave of economy. However, the Golden Rooster there directly missed the hosting time, starting earlier than the Golden Rooster and ending later than the Golden Rooster.

In terms of influence, the Golden Rooster is far inferior to the Golden Horse at this stage.

The invitation lists issued by the two film festivals overlap to a large extent. You can only go to one place in time. It is very difficult to decide how to choose. Golden Rooster is very embarrassing.

Lin Nan agreed to go to the Golden Rooster, and also helped Ning Hao make the decision together. The only one who could participate in the competition was "Stone", so Lin Nan could make this decision.

"Hey, I just hope there will be a good result by then." Ning Hao said.

The reason why Lin Nan chose the Golden Rooster was largely because he wanted to pick up the slack. Everyone ran to the Golden Rooster, so wouldn't "Into the Dust" have a greater chance of winning the prize?

There were many companies looking for cooperation with Ning Hao. As soon as Lin Nan stayed there for a while, several invitation calls came in, including film appointments, dinner appointments, and meeting appointments. Lin Nan heard that there was also a galloping horse.

"You have more business than me." Lin Nan joked.

"I have more business than Zhang Yimou. The size is different. How can it be compared? You guys can do a big one." Ning Hao replied.

"That's right, Ning Hao said he was the director of "Stone", but he didn't work for you."

Xing Ainafu said with a smile.

Lin Nan had no choice but to plead for mercy with clasped fists.

There was movement outside, and people from Ning Hao's studio ran over, "Director Ning, sister, Mr. Lu is here, in the reception room."

Ning Hao reacted and picked up a few manuscripts on the table.

"I thought I would come later. Lin Nan, you sit down first while I go."

With that said, he left.

"Sister, who is this?"

Lin Nan asked.

"The boss who asked Ning Hao to shoot the MV, I guess that little girl is also here. She is a very polite girl."

Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, but Xing Aina mentioned "Seven Swords". She was a professional screenwriter, and she had almost the same view as Lin Nan. Xu Ke's script was revised very poorly, and it was a serious mistake.

After a while, Ning Hao came over alone and looked at Lin Nan a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Your expression makes me feel a little weak."

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed when Ning Hao looked at him.

"It's the boss who introduced you to him last time. I didn't hear you were here, but I just wanted to get to know him. I'm here to ask for your opinion."

"If you have something to say, just say it. I thought it was something serious." Lin Nan gasped.

"That's who he is."

Xing Aina also complained about Ning Hao.

Lin Nan didn't expect to see Mr. Lu, the star-studded boss, in this scene.

"Director Lin, it is better to meet you than to be famous. I am very happy to meet you. You are indeed the youngest director."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Lin Nan shook the other person's hand.

"Tiantian, this is Director Lin Nan. Didn't you say you wanted to meet him? Why were you so stunned when you saw him?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said to the girl next to him.

"Ah, Director Lin, hello, I'm Jing Tian. I like your movies very much."

The girl seemed to wake up from her distraction and spoke quickly. You could see her cheeks were slightly red.

Lin Nan looked sideways and saw that the girl in front of her had bright and straight features, a high nose bridge, big eyes, fair skin, and an oval-shaped face. She was a typical oriental beauty.

Lin Nan looked at the girl's outstretched hand, touched it lightly and let go, "Hello."

I had never noticed who Ning Hao was filming the MV for before, but now Lin Nan finally knew who was going to release an EP, it was Jing Tian in front of him.

Jing Tian is really very similar to Liu Yifei. Due to family reasons, both of them were highly praised when they debuted. They had similar starts, similar rumors, and they treat their work with the same passion and seriousness.

Originally he was looking for Ning Hao, but in the end he ended up chatting more with Lin Nan.

Lu Zheng said intentionally or unintentionally that Jing Tian loved the profession of acting and gave her a chance to talk to Lin Nan.

The girl was indeed trying hard to find a topic, and her awkward look made Lin Nan laugh.

He found that Jing Tian's personality and speech were very similar to Liu Yifei's, straight girl and straight.
