That year Huayu

"You come back alone!

What are you doing here alone?

Why do you have the nerve to come back alone?

You are alone, so you don’t have to come back!

Get out of here quickly.

…”

At the door of his home, Lin Nan held the suitcase with his right hand and shrank his left hand in the pocket of his down jacket, shivering in the cold wind of several degrees below zero.

In this way, he still had to work hard to keep a smile and accept the "cynicism" of the old Lintou, not to mention the "torture" in his heart.

"How about we go in first? It's very cold outside."

Lin Nan said with a playful smile.

"You can freeze to death..."

Although he was still cursing, Old Lintou had already moved away.

He looked at Lin Nan with an "angry" look, and let her carry the box across the threshold and walk towards the backyard.

The pile of exquisite and conspicuous gift boxes in the corner made Lin Nan a little confused at first glance, but he soon realized it.

“It’s a mess, every year we give it away, and there are more and more people.

Apart from talking about the movie studio, the company, and the actors in the studio, I didn’t say a few words, just put it down and leave. Doesn't it really affect you? "

Lin Nan put the suitcase away and shook his head at Old Lin; "As long as it's not too expensive, it's not a big deal if you just keep it since it's been delivered."

"Well, as long as it doesn't affect you. Look at what you want to eat for lunch. I'll sort it out for you later..."

Old Lintou was relieved, hunched over, looked up at his son, and asked naggingly.

By this time, Lin Nan's nose was inexplicably feeling a little sore.

No matter how much you fight him at first, you will eventually end up worrying about him and wondering what he is going to eat...

Everything is always so natural, as it should be for decades.

…………

As New Year's Eve is approaching, the entertainment industry is becoming more and more lively, and there are also a lot of big news in the industry.

Even though Lin Nan was in his hometown, he saw Xiaoma's "Complaint to the Film and Television Industry" posted on the official website and Weibo.

CCB Culture did not take any action and temporarily gave up on allowing Xiao Ma to fulfill its obligation to repurchase shares at a premium after the bet failed.

The other major shareholders, unusually, did not add insult to injury.

The widow of Big Dog Brother has officially taken over as the chairman of Pony Media, and also serves as the general manager of Pony Pictures left after Zhong Lifang resigned.

In this announcement, it was clearly stated: Xiaoma will continue to move forward and operate normally. All film and television businesses will not be affected in any way and will operate as usual.

Not only that, Xiao Ma also liked all the top film and television companies in the industry on Weibo and sent New Year blessings.

I hope we can help each other and cooperate more in the future.

To be honest, Galloping Horse is still working hard to maintain its image and posture as the "top film and television company" in the industry.

But its final "show of goodwill" to other companies was an inferior one.

Even if you have no muscles to show off on the "battlefield", you cannot take the initiative to show your kindness. This will only show that the leadership is "weak and can be bullied" and "has no confidence."

In addition, whether Xiao Ma admits it or not, in the eyes of other big companies in the film and television industry, and in the eyes of the industry's upper echelons, it is now a second-rate company.

The film and television companies of Xiaoma and Aite are no longer on the same level and level.

From now on, there is a high probability that no top company in the industry will really bother with Xiao Ma.

Falling behind means falling behind, and the possibility of catching up again is slim to zero.

…

Lin Nan was lamenting that the paparazzi are really powerful.

The news of his return to his hometown spread like wildfire after only one day.

Starting from taking photos when leaving the airport, I actually followed him all the way.

Even the ten minutes when he was "battled" by Lao Lintou at the gate were filmed from a distance, and the short video has become a hot spot on the Internet.

Many acquaintances in the industry joked on Weibo:

"Look, this is the treatment you get when you go back to your hometown alone, without Yifei, and let the cold wind blow for ten minutes before talking!"

"We great directors also have times when we are obedient, flattering with a smile, and do it in spite of ourselves. Tsk tsk, it is indeed bloodline suppression, the old man is awesome!"

"Yifei, where are you? Your family Lin Nan needs support..."

"Fortunately, I won't go home this year. I sympathize with Director Lin."

…

After making a video call with Liu Yifei in the morning, Lin Nan didn't take much time to relax, and there were many guests.

In addition to Xiying and some film and television companies, there are also several people in the industry who want to treat him to dinner, such as Yan Ni.

It was impossible to go, so Lin Nan could only decline politely, saying that when he returned to the capital after the Spring Festival, we would have the opportunity to meet again.

He had to follow Lao Lintou to worship his ancestors, going in a hurry and returning in a hurry.

In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.

Yue Jun's phone came over.

"According to the news from the theater chain, tomorrow's "Taking Tiger Mountain" will have the highest filming rate, with a minimum filming rate of 43%, and Wanda will arrange it to 53%.

Followed by "Havoc in Heaven" with 30%, and "Macau" with 15%. "

"It means that these three movies basically share 90% of tomorrow's movie market."

"Yes, especially for us, on average, it's probably closer to half."

Lin Nan had nothing to say. The first day's film schedule represented how optimistic the theaters and the market were about the film before it was released.

As for the subsequent film scheduling rate, whether it will fluctuate significantly depends on the box office performance and reputation on the first day.

"I know, thank you for your hard work."

"That said, I have to be worthy of my annual salary and dividends, haha..."

…

Lin Nan hasn't watched the Spring Festival Gala for several years because it's getting more and more boring.

However, Lao Lin's head never falls every year. This is also a habit he has maintained for many years.

Especially this year, it was rare for Lin Nan to watch the Spring Festival Gala with him.

But in Lin Nan's eyes, where is this Spring Festival Gala?

This is simply a "reporting performance" by Huayi artists, another "Huayi Annual Meeting".

Although many people in the circle, including Lin Nan, were mentally prepared.

But when the Spring Festival Gala actually started, he realized that his previous mental preparation was still insufficient!

It can be said that Huayi has packed in all the celebrities and connections it can handle.

Those celebrities who did not attend the Spring Festival Gala were not unable to attend, but due to schedule conflicts.

"Do you recognize all these people?"

Suddenly, Lao Lintou pointed to the sketch in the TV series "Help or Not" and asked Lin Nan.

"Well, we know each other."

Lin Nan nodded and said. Even if you don't know him, you must know him.

"In the past two years, I can only watch the sketches of these two people, but they are not as good as before.

Chen Peisi's acting was so good in the past, why didn't he act anymore? Even Zhao Benshan and the others are a shadow..."

Lin Nan smiled and said perfunctorily: "Maybe it's because I'm older and can't act anymore."

He would not say that the former were banned, nor would he say that the latter were forced to retreat by repeated "elimination" and "interference in creation" during the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Nan took a look at Shen Teng and Ma Li on the TV series, and it was indeed possible.

It's been years since Lin Nan patiently watched the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, but it was worth it.

"Oh, this little girl is amazing! She spun around in circles for 4 hours..."

Amid Lao Lintou's admiration, Lin Nan turned off the TV and prepared to sleep.

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting bright, Lin Nan was woken up by the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Old Lintou was also knocking on his door, "Get up quickly, the dumplings are ready for you."

"immediately."

Lin Nan finished it in three attempts, walked out of the room, and started to wash up.

The hot dumplings are already on the table, with the Kitchen God, the God of Wealth, etc. in front of them.

Old Lintou and Lin Nan sat down face to face.

"You can go back to the capital this afternoon."

"Ah? Why?"

Lin Nan hurriedly swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and looked at Old Lintou, a little puzzled.

"Isn't the movie you made released today? Go back and watch it, and spend more time with Sissi. Starting tomorrow, I will also go to visit relatives."

Old Lintou spoke very decisively, not discussing, but giving instructions, and added: "You have stayed in the house for four days this time, which is enough."

Lin Nan did not speak, but nodded silently, "I know."

The two of them were having breakfast like this, very quiet and harmonious, as if they had returned to many years ago.

The news in the media and on the Internet has begun to flood the screen, except for yesterday’s Spring Festival Gala, it is today’s movie.

"Feng Xiaogang is suspected of using his power for personal gain. He is a guest performer at the Spring Festival Gala and has added a lot of actors and actresses from the Huayi family..."

"Xiao Caiqi, an actress signed by Tang Dynasty, became famous in one battle, and the Spring Festival Gala played for 4 hours straight."

…

“During the Spring Festival, there is smoke everywhere.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Journey to the West: Upheaval in Heaven", "Macau", "The Ex-Raiders"...several domestic films were released simultaneously today, starting a battle. "

"According to the theater chain, today's average film scheduling rate for "Taking Tiger Mountain" is as high as 46%, the highest among many movies!"

Text messages and messages were sent to Lin Nan’s mobile phone one after another, all of which were New Year greetings.

And he was talking on the phone with Liu Yifei, joking:

"The old man asked me to leave in the afternoon and come back to accompany you. I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will run away."

"Hahaha, then you have to hurry up, I'm running very fast."

Liu Yifei's laughter had a lazy tone, "Turn on the voiceover."

Lin Nan understood in an instant and ran to Lao Lin's side with his mobile phone. In his confused eyes, he raised his mobile phone: "Uncle, this is Sissi..."

Alas, what should I say? Lin Nan was speechless.

This is the fifth day since he came back, and this is the first time he has seen so many wrinkles on Lao Lintou's face!

Ten minutes later, Old Lintou threw the phone to Lin Nan with a smile, and then changed his face:

"Have you booked the flight tickets? Go back quickly this afternoon, what a wink..."

Uh... It's faster to turn over a page than to turn over a book! Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival season is the focus of the entire film industry.

Especially this year, Lin Nan enters the Spring Festival stalls for the first time, and it is an unprecedented commercial film with a main theme. The industry is even more looking forward to the box office data.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Lintou originally offered to drive Lin Nan to the airport in his jeep, but he refused.

It was still at the gate, with temperatures reaching minus three degrees and a biting wind.

"Take good care of yourself when you get back."

Old Lintou opened his mouth, as if he still had a lot to say, but he held back.

Lin Nan knew what he was going to say. After putting his luggage in the trunk of the taxi, he walked up to him.

"Dad, I plan to get engaged this year."

The sudden words made Old Lintou a little confused. Then he grinned and asked:

"What did you say? Say it again."

"I said, I plan to get engaged this year. Well, the second half of the year."

"Haha, okay, okay. Good for the second half of the year, good for the second half of the year. You piece of shit, finally think of business! Let's go back quickly..."

Old Lintou smiled and hurried Lin Nan into the car, feeling as if he could not wait for him to return to the capital, as if the daughter-in-law he had chosen would really run away.

"You also go inside, it's quite cold outside. This store will open half a month later, so take some rest."

Lin Nan sat in the back seat and shouted through the car window.

"You still care about me, so hurry up and leave." Old Lintou said angrily.

"Master, let's go."

Lin Nan waved to Old Lintou and said to the driver.

Watching the taxi gradually go away, a happy smile appeared on Lao Lintou's face.

Although his figure became more and more stooped, at this moment, his energy was as good as ever.

"This guy finally thought of business. What a good girl. Haha, hahaha..."

Old Lintou couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter got louder and louder, and he couldn't stop it. Pedestrians walking on the street couldn't help but look at him.
