That year Huayu

In early 2003, Lin Nan went to Berlin for the first time with Li Yang. It was because of "The Blind Shaft".

At that time, he was just a freshman, and Li Yang was his leader.

The second time was in early 2005.

Lin Nan won the grand prize at an international film festival for the first time, the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director, with his first award-winning film "Into the Dust"!

Since then, he has stepped into the ranks of great directors and become the youngest international director in China!

And that time, it was Li Yang who helped him find the person, which allowed him to skip the registration screening process and directly enter the competition stage for the shortlist.

Lin Nan is very grateful and cherishes this friendship.

So in January 2007, when Li Yang took the initiative to go to Hollywood to find him for help, he was willing to make "Blind Mountain" regardless of the cost and invest in Li Yang.

Later, when the movie was released, in order to exchange for as many films as possible, Lin Nan even used the distribution business of "Painted Skin" as a bargaining chip and handed it over to Yu Dong's Bona.

That year was also Lin Nan's third trip to Berlin.

With the foreign language film "Buried Alive", he won his second Silver Bear Trophy for Best Director, completely consolidating his position as the top director in the industry!

The only thing that made Lin Nan regretful was that that time, he lost to Director Wang and his "Tuya's Marriage"!

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and he still missed his "youth" in the past.

Speaking of which, he is indeed a direct descendant of the Berlin International Film Festival, although the most dazzling and memorable Golden Lion trophy was won in Venice.

"Lin, on behalf of the organizing committee, I sincerely invite you back to Berlin. And the beautiful Ms. Crystal, we are looking forward to your arrival on the red carpet in Berlin in February.

Lin, although the specific opening ceremony time has not yet been determined, we can be sure that the closing ceremony will definitely end before your Lunar New Year..."

Reception room on the third floor.

With brown hair and speaking less than standard Chinese, the film selector for the Asian region of the Berlin International Film Festival is sincerely inviting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"It's been almost eight years since I last went to Berlin." Lin Nan couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

Liu Yifei held his hand, nodded gently, and recalled with a smile:

"Well, it's been eight years. I remember I was still in martial arts school at that time, training hard every day for "The King of Kung Fu".

What about English lines, foreign language film study, script reading, kung fu hidden weapons, fists and kicks, weapon routines, opera body..."

When Lin Nan heard this, the smile on his face became a little helpless, and he couldn't help but want to complain about Miss Liu:

"I know you are good at fighting, and you still insist on training. But you don't need to 'remind' me with force from time to time, right? Those muscles, vest lines, and back muscles... I don't often..."

"Lin, what do you mean? We really hope to see Manchester by the Sea in Berlin."

The Asian regional film selector on the opposite side continued to invite with a smile.

In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. After reminiscing about old times, isn't it time to get down to business?

Lin Nan nodded immediately and said:

"Of course, Yifei, Leonardo and I will participate in this Berlin International Film Festival. The copy will be sent to the organizing committee after the official registration for the film festival begins."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the person opposite him sat up instantly, held his hand excitedly and said:

"Thank you, Lin, and welcome back to the Berlin International Film Festival!

But you don't need to send it. I will send someone to pick it up when the time comes and take it back to Berlin together. "

"Well, that's okay too."

More than half an hour later, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sent people downstairs and then returned to the office.

"Sissi, you have one more itinerary to plan. Accompany me to Berlin."

Liu Yifei nodded happily: "Well, okay, I will just go on a trip with you. When we come back, we will celebrate New Year's Eve."

well? Thinking about it this way, my brand owners are happy again. They will definitely come to bother me, talking about the red carpet, dresses, jewelry, bags..."

"When I see you next time, I will definitely ask them to increase the money and take advantage of me!"

Lin Nan smiled helplessly. He doesn't accept advertisements, so the high-end endorsement invitations Liu Yifei receives every year are more than double those of normal top A-listers.

Because the brand owners all know that as long as Liu Yifei signs an endorsement contract, they can get Lin Nan, especially in large-scale occasions at international film festivals, and make a lot of money!

"Okay, haha..."

Leaning on Lin Nan's shoulder, Liu Yifei smiled heartlessly.

…………

This year’s entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, is really damn interesting!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei only met a Berlin film selector, and the film and television industry was suddenly shaken!

As it approaches noon, the official Weibo Ping An Capital, Weibo hot searches, and portal website headlines...

All media platforms are reporting one thing - "The great director had too much fun and was caught by the police on the spot!"

What do the words "Golden Bear Director" mean?

For the film industry, these are the top figures and international directors, representing a steady stream of top-level resources and circles!

You know, after so many years, the entire Chinese film industry has only produced a total of 6 Golden Bear directors!

For the film and television industry, this is a real earthquake.

And the style of painting online is even more "happy":

"Yao Shou! His wife is Zhang..., with that figure, that appearance, those breasts, that ass... aren't you enough?"

"There are so many beautiful female artists in the film and television industry who want to be promoted and be lurked. As a big director, he can wave his hand and get as many as he wants. Is there any need to go for that?"

"That's enough, at least there are no hidden rules of choice. Others spend money to do things and stimulate the economy... It's much better than many hypocrites!"

"Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, what they want is a stimulation! The great director is strong..."

This group of netizens have simply taken their natural tendency to watch the excitement without taking things too seriously to the extreme.

…

"Incredible! According to the official report, he was caught on the spot after receiving a report from the masses on the night of the 10th."

"Holy shit... the information I got after the interrogation was even more explosive. It turned out that No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 were there for three consecutive days..."

"Upstairs, let's focus on that, there was one man and two women on the night of the 9th..."

"Let me think about it, he is actually 50 years old this year, right? At this age, why is he so explosive? With a bald head, he is really strong!"

The content is getting more and more deviant... Many netizens are even discussing how the great director maintains his health? How can he be so old and strong!

…

"Our great director has always been a romantic and talented person. Count his ex-girlfriends, Jiang Wen... Yu..."

"I feel sorry for Miss Zhang. Looking at Weibo, it looks like she is still traveling in New York! Yesterday, a netizen bumped into her and she even posted a selfie. The message was even more interesting: Has she been discovered? My little 'LOVE'!"

"I'll go. Madam-in-law, is this a prophecy from God?"

…

Speechless, really speechless.

After returning home with Liu Yifei at noon, Lin Nan saw the news on the Internet and heard the rumors in the industry, which made him sick.

Two hours ago, when he met with the film selector in Berlin, he was still regretting that "Buried Alive" lost to "Tuya's Marriage" seven years ago.

But who would have thought that Director Wang has been there for three days!

But then again, probably no one in the industry could have imagined that a top director would act in such a "simple" and "unconventional" way!

In the end, Lin Nan still sighed, hoping that when he is 50 years old, his body will be "stronger" than Director Wang! Well, I will find an old Taoist priest another day...

While helping Liu Xiaoli serve the dishes, Liu Yifei ran to the kitchen door in her slippers, holding a red apple she had taken two bites of.

"Lin Nan, here, La Dong is looking for you."

"Go quickly, I told you I don't need your help, just wait for dinner."

Liu Xiaoli urged with a smile, then looked at her daughter, "dinner will be served soon, you are eating something else...hey, you are still running..."

If something like that happened outside, La Peikang would definitely call.

Because part of the creative list of "Mermaid" has been sent to China Film Group Corporation, La Peikang knew that Zhang Yuqi would participate in the film, and she would be one of the protagonists with a role equal to that of the female lead!

"La Dong?"

Sitting cross-legged on the lawn, Lin Nan stroked her soft plump orange with one hand and answered the phone with the other.

"Should we change the actress for "Mermaid"? After all, her family has caused such a big deal. The convention was only held for a month last month, and prostitution is also..."

La Peikang's worry is reasonable, but unfair. After all, Zhang Yuqi doesn't have that kind of thing.

Furthermore, to be honest, it is really difficult to limit "blocking" to the level of director Golden Bear.

In other words, if Lin Nan is Berlin's direct descendant, then Director Wang is one of his direct descendants!

There is a golden bear, a silver bear for best screenwriter, and a silver bear for best artistic contribution. His movie can just sell the copyright and not be released!

"Have you forgotten? We promised Director Zhou Xingchi not to interfere in the casting. What you said depends on Zhou Xingchi's intention. By the way, why do you have this idea?"

Lin Nan asked curiously, logically speaking, La Peikang doesn't have this kind of character?

"I asked from Shangying."

Okay, now Lin Nan understands; Zhang Yuqi is indeed of little value to Shanghai Film.

"Then ask Zhou Xingchi?"

Lin Nan didn't answer immediately.

In his opinion, although Zhou Xingchi loves money, he is also stubborn. The actors he has chosen will not be replaced easily.

Just like this time, although Wen Zhang's reputation plummeted because of that incident, he still gave him a guest role, and it was specially designed!

"If you want to ask, then just ask, and I'll forget about it. Since I promised not to intervene, that's definitely my attitude."

Hearing what Lin Nan said, La Peikang paused immediately.

"Yes, it's up to you. I don't mean that I have to change it, but after all, China Film is a state-owned enterprise, so I still have to ask them."

"Yes, I know."

Lin Nan responded.

Director Wang's incident is destined to have a huge impact, and Zhang Yuqi is just one of them.

"Lin Nan, eat!"

Liu Yifei stood at the door of the villa with her hands on her waist and puffed out her cheeks. She looked like she was being criticized by her own mother!

"Okay, I'll be here soon. Are you doing something wrong again?"

"Huh, now that I have a son-in-law, I have forgotten my daughter!"

Good guy, Lin Nan is speechless. It seems like he should say this, right? Old Lintou had a daughter-in-law and forgot about his son!

…

The Chinese film industry, specifically the Hong Kong film industry, has a distinctive feature.

That is, every few years, someone comes forward and launches a boycott movement against Zhou Xingchi, and then a large number of Hong Kong actors and celebrities immediately respond and attack Zhou Xingchi in groups.

And if you compare it carefully, it is not difficult to find that whenever the "backward movement" occurs, it is when Zhou Xingchi has a new movie or work that is being prepared, started filming, or is about to be released!
