That year Huayu

Old Lintou is now living a good life. His son paid for the expansion of the restaurant, and he found someone to renovate it.

I found a few master chefs to take charge of the dishes, and there were also many waiters. I just drank tea and listened to the opera every day, and then checked the accounts.

The monthly income is not low, and this store is famous far and wide.

Lin Nan chatted with his father for a few words, and it seemed that the old man was planning to guard the shop until he could no longer work.

"Hurry up and find a girl. Your uncle and his family are all married in the village."

Lao Lintou just said something if nothing happened, and sometimes Zhu Yawen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After staying for two days and visiting historical sites with Lao Zhu, Lin Nan was about to run away.

"I couldn't stand it, so I suggested he find a wife, and he in turn asked me to find a girlfriend. He was like this on the phone, and he was like this when he came back, ugh..."

The two chose the train this time. "We're here, let's try the mutton." Lin Nan said.

Lin Nan was also choosing the filming location along the way. In fact, "Into the Dust" did not have high requirements for the filming location. In rural areas, a river would be enough.

The two of them really went on a trip and ate all the way. When they arrived, they didn't rush to the hotel. They ate just mutton for three days.

"Fortunately, I walk a lot every day and my metabolism is fast, otherwise I wouldn't be able to gain a few pounds in these days." Zhu Yawen said as she walked.

The two of them have arrived at the hotel dedicated to the film festival, and tomorrow will be the opening ceremony.

Without saying a few words, I saw Huayi's people, the crew of "Mobile Phone".

"A big company means grandeur and security." Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen were sitting on the sofa in the corner of the hotel lobby.

Only a few security personnel were seen, surrounded by Huayi's Mr. Wang and Director Feng, who came in, followed by Zhang Guoli, Ge You, and Fan Bingbing.

Reporters outside the hotel wanted to follow in, but were blocked by the security guard at the door.

"Lin Zi, it doesn't matter if we don't compare. How did I find that we are just like two passers-by, looking at their pomp and circumstance." Zhu Yawen was a little sour.

"We are still students now, don't be fooled by this evil trend." Lin Nan was a bit stubborn.

Huayi has a standardized company model. Lin Nan's small company does not have a public relations department or an image department. It just serves itself. No one is prepared for the ostentation.

Shangying Zhongying also asked Lin Nan that he was enjoying hiking those days, but he refused.

At dinner in the evening, Zhou Yang and the others also joined in.

"There are many reporters outside."

"Definitely, it's the largest film festival in the country."

Although it is the largest in the country, it is definitely not comparable to last year’s Spring Festival Golden Horse.

"I saw Zhao Yanzi and Xia Yu." Zhou Yang said.

Lin Nan nodded. For the three people in front of him, they may not be able to reach the heights of those two people. One is extremely popular, and the other is a young international actor.

"Director Lin, Mr. Han and the others invite you to come over."

Someone knocked on the door and came in to find Lin Nan, "Go ahead, let's eat ours." Zhu Yawen took Lin Nan's small bowl filled with beef.

Almost all the major film companies are here, including Shanghai Film, China Film, and Western Film...

Lin Nan entered a banquet hall. There were only three good guys.

China Film, Shanghai Film and Television are all here, aren't they just my three investors?

"Director Xiaolin, sit down quickly, I'm waiting for you." The person who went to the studio urged with a smile.

If your guess is correct, it's about "Return to Youth".

No one came to persuade him to drink. Fortunately, Lin Nan didn't have a few bites in the house just now, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

"National Day is coming soon, and the publicity has been arranged these days." The person from the light said first.

The person in charge of Shanghai Film Studio ate the food without saying anything.

Mr. Han looked at Lin Nan with a smile, "Do you have any expectations for the box office?"

After hearing this, Lin Nan relaxed a little, thinking it was some big deal. It seemed that he was greedy for "Ambush from Flying Daggers".

"At the end of the month, Jackie Chan's "New Police Story" will be released. Although this series is very classic, it may not be ideal now."

Lin Nan paused, "There won't be any blockbusters next month. "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" are both in December. I don't think Brother Lu's "Kekexili" can beat me next month. I'm talking about the box office."

It seemed that this was what they were waiting for, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Has investment been found for "Into the Dust"?"

Out of the blue, Mr. Han said this.

Is this the real deal? Lin Nan thought.

Also, Lin Nan had to find investors for his first two movies.

Now that the third script is available and the actors have been found, there is no mention of investment. Do you want to go it alone?

Lin Nan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"It's a realistic movie. It's impossible to make a profit, and the probability of losing money is very high."

Sure enough, the three people sitting there understood in their hearts.

Shanghai Film and China Film are under great pressure to make profits, and they have so many people to support. Even if they invest in such a loss-making film, they will first consider directors with senior qualifications.

Not to mention the light. Private enterprises, with the purpose of profit, can lend money to Lin Nan because they are optimistic about him and "Return to Youth". It is absolutely impossible to invest in a movie that is destined to lose money unless it can get prize.

None of the three companies are optimistic about whether Lin Nan's new movie will win awards. He is a complete newcomer in the field of awards.

The topic changed and returned to "Return to Youth". Everyone is looking forward to how much box office it will get.

"The market is heating up, and I think we can raise our expectations a little bit," Lin Nan added.

Policies have begun to take care of this industry. Whether it is film companies or theater chains, many coal bosses have come to invest.

"Indeed it is."

They are all industry insiders, and they can obviously feel the changes in the market. Everyone is very happy for a while, maybe the box office can really hit the market.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended and everyone went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony.

In the morning, Lin Nan started to put on his clothes. He felt more and more that he was very cool, and he was also a famous director, but he actually used someone else's makeup artist.

"Men just need to be more energetic and clean. It's useless to clean up these things."

Faced with Zhu Yawen's complaints, Lin Nan retorted, but still sat there and let the makeup artist do it.

"You just have to be tough. I just went around and every company has its own makeup artist. Your company is like an empty shell. I don't care about you."

For the sake of safety and security, most of the guests stayed at the hotel officially arranged by the film festival. There were many reporters and ordinary people in this area. The former wanted to capture the scene, while the latter came here to see the stars.

"I just saw Jackie Chan."

"Didn't you go up and take a photo?"

"There were too many people, so I didn't go."

My eldest brother is here as a guest, and he has no work to bring with him, but his "New Police Story" conference at the end of the month is just for promotion.

Less than half an hour later, Lin Nan went out, accompanied by Zhu Yawen and the others. Yan Dan, Chen and Shu Chang were not here, but they were on the set.

The opening ceremony is generally more official, with speeches, movie trailers, short films, game sessions, and various artistic performances.

There will be various seminars, academic conferences, and exchange meetings in the next two days.

The most important part for each crew and star, and the most eye-catching part is always the closing ceremony red carpet and the awards night afterwards.

The last merger of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers was held, which was nothing short of grand.

At 6pm on the 19th, the red carpet officially started.

"Thirty-eight Degrees", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "Thrilling", "Jade Goddess of Mercy"... The finale is the crew of "Cell Phone" and "House of Flying Daggers".

Jiang Wen, Xia Yu, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, Fan Bingbing..., Zhang Yimou, Zhang Ziyi...

The cast members on the red carpet for the finale are blockbusters and blockbuster movies.

Lin Nan and the others were okay. They were placed in the middle and back. There were a lot of young people in the audience. When Lin Nan was walking on the red carpet, she could hear a lot of people shouting the name of the movie and their names.

"Director Lin Nan, this is your first time to participate in a domestic film festival. Are you confident about the awards you have been shortlisted for?"

The red carpet host handed over the microphone after several people signed autographs.

"The most important thing is to participate. Winning awards is the best thing. I'm still young and there are still many opportunities."

"Thank you to the crew of "Warm and Bright" and the crew of "Return to Youth". Thank you to director Lin Nan..."

Following the standard procedure, Lin Nan and the others quickly walked over, and the crew behind them had already entered the red carpet.

The leaders of several major state-owned film companies are already sitting in designated seats.

Mr. Han waved to Lin Nan, but Lin Nan declined. At this moment, he felt comfortable sitting with Zhu Yawen and the others.

"Our location is not very good." Zhou Yang said carelessly.

The back is to the sides, how can it be good?

More and more people entered the venue. Lin Nan scanned the circle and said, "Don't look at the people sitting in the good seats. They are either the leaders or the big crew. I am currently in a movie. Let's Do you still expect to sit in the middle?”

The host of the Hundred Flowers Awards is Pu Cunxi. This year's Hundred Flowers Awards has a recommendation system. "Return to Youth" follows the recommendation path. It is China Film's contribution. After all, it has not been released yet.

There were three Outstanding Feature Film Awards. "Warm and Bright" got one spot, but "Return to Youth" failed.

When Lin Nan received the award, he thanked Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Studio. He smiled and waved, and advertised, "My "Return to Youth" will be released on National Day. Please take care of me. Thank you."

The people in the audience laughed heartily. There are really not many people who dare to advertise at the award ceremony. Lin Nan's move left a deep impression on everyone.

The Best Feature Film Award was won by "Cell Phone". Not to mention Zhang Yimou, Director Feng is currently the commercial film director who can best handle the box office.

Best Actor, Ge You, "Cell Phone".

Uncle Ge is very humorous. After finishing his acceptance speech, he also said, "I hope everyone will support my next movie, "A World Without Thieves" in December. Thank you Director Lin Nan for inspiring me, hahaha."

The audience was completely happy now, and even the host relaxed a lot.

"Lin Zi, you are quite famous tonight."

Lin Nan covered his face with one hand, and many people turned their heads to see it, laughing unbridled.

Best Actress, "Cell Phone", Fan Bingbing, low-cut white dress, very stunning, very plump.

The Hundred Flowers Awards are over, and "Mobile Phone" swept the Best Actors and Best Actors.

Feng Xiaogang was chatting and laughing with Mr. Wang in his seat, and everyone around him was congratulating and complimenting her. Fan Bingbing sat down, holding her trophy to greet other actresses, and she always felt that there was a sword hidden in her smile.

Keep asking for votes, all kinds of votes!

I don’t think I will rush into the market. I hope to collect, invest and read more. Finally, I have a recommendation. Thank you all.

Thank you to book friend Wei Wuyi Feng Yahua MA for your monthly ticket support! Thank you to all the book friends for your recommendation votes and encouragement! Thank you! !
