That year Huayu

Zhang Ziyi's operation has become a joke among people in the industry and on the Internet.

Last September, at the premiere of the movie "Dangerous Liaisons", she revealed her boyfriend Xiao Sa.

At that time, it really caused a sensation in the entertainment industry and received blessings from the entire Internet. After all, the man is a recognized talent.

This act of publicizing their relationship also brought huge traffic to the movie, as well as high topics and popularity.

Although the film ended up losing money at the box office and being a flop, it didn't affect Zhang Ziyi's fame and fortune at all.

Exactly one year later, the movie "Very Lucky", also starring her, will have its premiere.

She performed the same operation again.

But this time, the boyfriend who came to the premiere stage was Wang Feng, who is known as the "great talent" in the music industry.

Different from the blessings I received last year, this year the Internet was full of boos and laughter, and there was also a lot of disdain in the industry.

Because it was not long before media reporters exposed the relationship between the two.

One is still hyping up Xiao Sa, and the other has just ended his second marriage. It can be said that the connection is perfect.

Since Yue Jun came back from the premiere of "Very Lucky", his complaints have not stopped.

"Zhang Ziyi always feels weird when she plays a chick flick. Her face is inappropriate and gives people a stiff feeling."

“I heard that the original director and production team were not in line with her ideas, so she, the producer, fired her and replaced her with a Hollywood team.

As a result, Fan Bingbing accepted the original director and his team and made "A Night of Surprise", which achieved a great success at the box office and word-of-mouth! "

"Honestly, Zhang Ziyi's vision for film selection is really far behind Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing!"

"Bona invested more than 100 million, and it is estimated that Yu Dong will suffer losses again this time..."

Lin Nan sat there and listened to Yue Jun's comments, and he was really touched. The once-unparalleled "International Chapter" also started to act in chick flicks.

When the limelight was at its peak, Zhang Ziyi clearly expressed his thoughts and ambitions to surpass Gong Li.

Looking back now, Gong Li is still working with great directors and top-notch casts, and he has never stopped working on foreign language films.

But what about the "International Chapter" itself? The answer is: It's been going downhill.

"It's incomparable. Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing are both capital now. They have their own companies, teams, artists and connections. They can create resources and be self-sufficient."

"As for Zhang Ziyi, he had a high self-esteem before, not only missed the opportunity but also couldn't see the reality clearly.

Opportunities for promotion will only become less and less in the future, and become more and more difficult. In the end, you may be able to chew on your old gains, haha..."

Lin Nan also smiled and joked.

When Internet companies come in, it will be several or even ten times more difficult for celebrities to increase their capital than before.

…………

"Witness" has been released, with a box office of 42.4 million in the three days of its first weekend, leading domestic films in September.

The release of films such as "Incredible Luck" and "One City" will follow.

But what the audience is most looking forward to is "The Dragon King of God" at the end of the month, which is also the only major director's work this month.

Lin Nan took the time to perfect the outline of the script he had made before, and pay attention to the news in the industry from time to time.

Feng Xiaogang posted three consecutive posts on Weibo, thanking the film bureau and industry peers for their support.

"I didn't win the competition for "Search" last year, but I didn't expect there would be a chance this year?"

The Film Bureau has officially determined and announced the films that will be sent to the Oscars this year to compete for the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Namely: Feng Xiaogang's "1942"!

Countless actors and actresses in the industry rushed to leave messages of congratulations and flattery on Feng Xiaogang's Weibo.

I remember that Feng Xiaogang always said in the past: "Don't pay too much attention to external film awards, just do well in Chinese film awards..."

But at this moment, it was completely impossible to see Director Feng’s point of view. He was very leisurely and leisurely, replying to messages from people in the circle one by one on Weibo, all with smiling faces.

Many netizens are still joking:

"Director Feng has finally become a mother-in-law, and she is going to the Oscars to play, haha..."

"I wonder if Director Feng and Director Lin Nan will meet at the Oscars ceremony early next year?"

"If that happens, it will truly be a historic moment."

Faced with the netizens' joking remarks, Feng Xiaogang rarely liked them all and expressed his attitude publicly:

"I believe "1942" can create surprises at the Golden Globes and Oscars..."

Lin Nan put down the script in his hand and politely gave it a thumbs up. After all, it was a good movie. As for the outcome, it had nothing to do with him.

The Golden Rooster in the Mainland is about to open in a few days, and there is a lot of news.

The guest invitations from Golden Horse were also mailed to Lin Nan Films from Taiwan Province.

When she received the call from her assistant, Lin Nan was waiting for someone outside the airport.

"I understand, reply an email to the organizer for me, I will be there."

"Okay, Director Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan sat in the car and continued to look toward the exit through the car window.

Twenty minutes later, he saw Liu Xiaoli, pulling a suitcase alone.

Lin Nan got out of the car and greeted him. In less than a minute, he attracted the attention of many reporters.

"Is it Director Lin?"

…

"You just need to send someone to pick me up. You don't have to come in person." Liu Xiaoli said with a chuckle.

"I happen to have time. Auntie, give me the box."

Lin Nan took the suitcase from Liu Xiaoli, led half a body and walked towards the parking place.

Several reporters wanted to surround them, but Lin Nan waved them away. Liu Xiaoli also smiled and nodded at them.

Having been her daughter's "life assistant" for several years, Liu Xiaoli knows what attitude to maintain towards the media.

Lin Nan has always had a good relationship with media reporters, and it will pay off now.

After they understood what Lin Nan meant, they stopped consciously and waved.

"Sissi has been on the set for half a month. I wonder where the filming progress is? Every time this girl calls, she only rushes for a few minutes and doesn't explain clearly..."

Liu Xiaoli sat in the car and complained about her daughter.

Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this, because Liu Yifei obviously left more call time for him.

"Auntie, I will go to visit the class in two days. I will know then, but I think the filming should not be slow.

This kind of science fiction movie is much faster than those drama movies in terms of the shooting part alone. What takes time is the special effects and post-production. "

"Well, that's good. If you're not busy when you go over, you can stay with her for two more days..."

…

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed when she was reported by media reporters for the first time.

"Director Lin Nan was at the airport this morning to pick up the prospective mother-in-law."

"Liu Xiaoli's dark face covers her face, and her temperament is not inferior to that of her daughter..."

…

"Director Wang, is it so early? Isn't it released just after the Lunar New Year?"

After Lin Nan sent Liu Xiaoli back, she was about to return to the company when she received a call from Wang Changtian.

"The Big Four 2" was only released in early December, and the company suddenly decided to start promoting it two months in advance.

"As you know, this is our first 3D martial arts movie. Chen Jiashang and the company feel that it is safer to start promoting it early."

Guangguang called Zhao Liying's agent and received a rejection.

This was also what the company ordered before, to let Zhao Liying wait with peace of mind to join the team and reject all announcements. Furthermore, the promotional time set by Guangguang before was not now.

As a last resort, Wang Changtian could only call Lin Nan to borrow someone.

"Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms on the Road" will be released in the next few days. The schedule is too conflicting." Lin Nan's meaning is self-evident.

"Well, let's not delay too much. Just let her record the show with the crew for two days and participate in several popular variety shows.

She doesn’t have to follow other schedules, and Deng Chao may also join the team at the end of the month or the beginning of next month. The next promotion will be after they have finished filming..."

Wang Changtian lobbied hard for more than ten minutes, and Lin Nan finally agreed.

"We have an agreement first. Once Ning Hao calls for someone, I don't care what happens on the publicity side. She must come back immediately."

"no problem."

"Then contact Yue Jun. He will notify Zhao Liying's agent."

Lin Nan hung up the phone without talking to Wang Changtian.

As he drove the car on the road, he always felt that an idea had just come to his mind, but he forgot it in an instant.

Until Lin Nan accidentally saw the big screen in the shopping plaza.

Above is a promotional video for the top three of "Fast Man", as well as a scene of Hai Qing kneeling down to a contestant named Ou Hao.

At this time, he remembered the flash of inspiration that had just occurred in his mind.

"Old Wang, I think you said 'popular variety show' just now?"

"Yes, it's a popular variety show!"

Lin Nan decisively called Yue Jun, "Fuck you!"

Just listen to a familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Please don't hang up, the number you dialed is currently on a call..."

No need to guess, Wang Changtian is on the phone with Yue Jun.

Two minutes later, Yue Jun called back, "Director Lin? Director Wang just said that you agreed to let Zhao Liying go with the crew for two days of promotion?"

"Yes, I agreed, but if Ning Hao turns on his phone, he will come back immediately."

"What's your phone number?"

"There is something. Please take some time in the next two days to take someone on a trip to South Korea..."

…………

Zhang Ziyi's "Very Lucky" grossed 10.5 million at the box office on its first day.

To be honest, this is a relatively good opening for a chick flick, but Zhang Ziyi received a lot of bad reviews.

People on the Internet are saying that her acting skills have declined visibly, and her "little girl" performance feels artificial and extremely unnatural.

Whether this kind of reputation will affect the subsequent box office trend depends on the choices of the audience and movie fans.

But what surprised the industry the most was "A City".

You must know that Han Han and Guo Jingming are both best-selling authors. The two are often compared and both have a large number of fans.

In view of the fact that the two "Tiny Times 1" and "Tiny Times 2" combined have created a high box office of 750 million.

Therefore, the industry and producers also have high expectations for the movie "A City" adapted from Han Han's novel of the same name. The box office is expected to be 500 million!

But who knows that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!

"Adapted from the novel of the same name by young best-selling author Han Han, the movie "A City" grossed 1.2 million at the box office on its first day, which is far from industry expectations!"

"The film schedule of "A City" may be significantly reduced, and may even be canceled."

"Guo Jingming's fans are sarcastic and sarcastic..."

…………

"Director Lin, the flight tickets have been booked and we need to change planes midway."

"knew."

Lin Nan looked at the news and responded without raising his head.

The Golden Rooster has opened, but the red carpet seems a bit too classy.

Most of the top domestic directors were absent, and only a few nominees went with their crews.
