That year Huayu

"Produced by Alibaba Pictures, co-produced by Wang Jiawei Zedong Pictures, and supervised and produced by Wang Jiawei, the movie "The Ferryman" held a large-scale media project approval conference in Beijing this morning."

"The movie "The Ferryman" is adapted from one of the 33 stories in the best-selling novel "Passing Through Your World". Director Wang Jiawei personally selected the topic and produced it. He appointed and supported the original author to direct the film. He said that after the film is launched, it will The crew will be stationed throughout the whole process to guide and supervise the filming!”

"Alibaba Pictures and Zedong Pictures announced that the movie "The Ferryman" will officially open casting for the film and television industry after today, striving to form the top starring lineup!"

…

"I only have four words in my mind right now."

"What four words?"

"Wealthy! Look, the whole network is reporting it in real time. We just need to find a movie channel to broadcast it live! Tsk tsk."

Lin Nan handed the phone to Ning Hao, who suddenly looked shocked. The awesomeness he had just boasted on stage three minutes ago had already appeared in entertainment headlines?

"It's true that he has a lot of money! But didn't you hear what Ali's people said on stage? There is no cap on the production budget, and the box office target is only high, not low!"

Ning Hao lowered his voice and complained.

"'No cap, just high, not low'? I remember the last person who shouted this slogan was Yang Zai from Juli Pictures, and it was the "Legend of White Snake". What was the final result?"

A teasing smile appeared on Lin Nan's face, and Ning Hao understood instantly and couldn't help laughing: "That time, Director Wang was so cruel!

But bragging by Internet companies and bragging by film and television companies are different, right? Ali is really rich. "

"Yes, I have money. But once this boast is blown up, too high and too far... how it will be implemented is a problem. And the production budget is not capped? I don't dare to brag like this, after all, I have to consider getting back the money. …”

He was fine at first, but when he heard Lin Nan's last words, Ning Hao lost his face instantly and cursed:

"You don't brag, but you show off!"

Come on, Director Ning stopped pretending that he was sour, he was jealous!

Lin Nan changed the topic with a smile: "Let's wait and see.

Let's see if Alibaba Pictures can use "The Ferryman" to prove that their proposed production model of popular IP + fan movies + big directors in the Internet era is correct. "

"Then just wait. But then again, today's press conference does seem to be quite a gimmick. As for the final box office? It shouldn't be low, I think."

Ning Hao said hesitantly, and nodded again after a few seconds, with a more positive attitude.

Lin Nan did not answer, but looked towards the stage.

He came today purely for the sake of the richest man's face. Although we don't interact with each other, I really can't help but give this person face.

He is the only one who can gather most of the big guys in the film and television industry to "support" a movie.

But don’t mention it, Ma Qingfu’s eloquence is really good, and he can make people’s eyes shine every time!

Near noon, the press conference ended successfully, followed by a luncheon for socializing.

Lin Nan had no intention of staying to participate, but was preparing to leave directly, but at this moment, he was targeted.

"Director Lin, congratulations on winning the Golden Globe Award."

"Director Ma and Director Zhang, you two are very polite."

"I've always wanted to make a movie by myself and star in it, but I just couldn't find the time. I wonder if there will be a chance to work with Director Lin again in the future?"

Lin Nan was happy when he heard this. This joke is really a joke, it’s so embarrassing!

He is not the kind of person who is short of money. The "opportunity" mentioned by the richest man is absolutely impossible.

Good eloquence does not mean good lines, acting skills, looks... none of it. Looking for the richest man Ma to act? Isn’t this destroying one’s own brand and ruining one’s reputation? !

"Is everything just going to happen?" Lin Nan said perfunctorily.

"Director Lin, is Tudou going to raise funds soon? The financial market is doing very well now, especially in the film, television and entertainment industries..."

Sure enough, the drunkard’s intention is not the wine! Lin Nan didn't answer.

"Youku and Tudou have a complete market monopoly. If Alibaba can invest in Tudou, we can promote this cooperation..."

Lin Nan was stunned. Do you want to be so naked? Did you say the word "monopoly" directly?

"Tudou has its own financing plan, which will be disclosed to the outside world when the time comes, and we will look for like-minded partners." Lin Nan stopped.

"Then Alibaba is looking forward to Tudou's invitation. The group has always given strong support to promising companies, whether it is funds or other resources."

Lin Nan tried not to laugh. Are you sure that was support? Isn't it about sucking blood and occupying the magpie's nest?

After struggling for more than ten minutes, Lin Nan finally managed to escape.

"It seems that he is a little resistant or repelled by us?"

"Director Ma, if the news is true, Penguin should have been promised."

"Huh? Youku, hurry up."

"clear."

…………

When Lin Nan returned home, she faced another tangled question, that is, should she go to the Weibo night?

To be honest, this is a relatively entertainment-oriented activity, and it is aimed at the "traffic" of the film and television entertainment industry.

Over the next year, the most popular actors, stars, idol artists, movies, and TV series in the industry will all appear on Weibo Night.

As a shareholder, Lin Nan, who has been there once before, has a deep understanding of this. Weibo night actually doesn't have much nutrition. It's just a stage and vanity fair for artists in the industry to "compete for beauty".

Just when Lin Nan was about to ask Liu Yifei for his opinion, Lu Yang called.

"Director Lin, "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has passed the review, and the release date has also been announced."

The voice on the phone was filled with excitement and excitement, and something impatient.

"The review results of "Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" have not been released yet?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

"After the review, you contact Yue Jun, and he will arrange the schedule and the issuer."

"Well, okay, Director Lin."

Less than two minutes into the call, Lu Yang hung up in a hurry, feeling like he was rushing to find someone to fight with! Looking for Chen Kaige?

Lin Nan took the tablet and opened the film and television information, and sure enough he saw the top-ranked film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

"Directed by director Chen Kaige, starring Wang Baoqiang, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen, Fan Wei, Lin Chiling and others,

The Republic of China fantasy martial arts film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" received a release permit today. The film is officially scheduled for summer and will be released in theaters across the country on July 3. "

"Director Chen Kaige's first martial arts masterpiece, which brings together many powerful actors and superstars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, is worth looking forward to..."

Looking at the news online, Lin Nan didn't look very good.

Because according to the review time of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", Director Chen Da has not been rejected even once!

This movie of his passed censorship in one go!

La Peikang had hinted to Lin Nan last time that Chen Kaige wanted to retain the role of Prince Long.

The current situation is self-evident!

"Lin Nan, what's wrong with you? Are you frowning?"

Liu Yifei had just finished taking a shower and walked down from the second floor wearing cotton slippers.

"I'm feeling emotional, Director Chen deserves to be Director Chen! He committed the crime against the wind and was unscrupulous, and the group of people responsible for the review gave him the green light like no one else..."

"ah?"

Liu Yifei didn't react for a while. She sat next to Lin Nan and said, "comb my hair and speak slowly."

Lin Nan took the comb and became busy with her hands without stopping her mouth.

""The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has been reviewed and approved. When it is released in early July, fans, audiences and even the entire Internet will be shocked.

Because they can see twenty minutes of footage of Prince Long... The red-headed document at the end of September last year will become a widely recognized joke. "

"Slap yourself in the face?" Liu Yifei said in shock.

"That's pretty much it."

Lin Nan once again lamented the "reality" of this circle. Chen Kaige still has a lot of weight and connections!

"You, since this is the case, why don't you get involved?"

Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and said to Lin Nan.

"Well, anyway, it's not me who will be at the forefront of public opinion at that time. It's just that Tong Bureau's face is miserable, and I will be beaten by the group of people responsible for review. It's interesting to think about it. There will definitely be a good show behind it. …”

"Oh, by the way, are you going to the Weibo night tonight? If you go, I will tell you there; if not, I will say hello in advance. The seats have been reserved."

Liu Yifei leaned in Lin Nan's arms, "I'm too lazy to go, and it's not interesting. I can guess who will be on stage to receive the award..."

Well, Lin Nan admitted that there was nothing wrong with what Miss Liu said.

Looking at last year, weren’t the most popular people like Yang Mi, Guo Jingming, Lu Han, and Yang Ying who often made hot searches and headlines? These are the people who won the prize.

"Okay, I'll call you back later and we won't go. There will be two more seats available in the first row, haha..."

"Hmm, let's go out for dinner tonight?"

"good."

…………

Yue Jun was answering the phone at the moment.

He really didn't expect that what he swore to say in front of Lin Nan would actually be slapped in the face!

"Have you thought about it carefully? This kind of thing is not a joke. Do you know how many people are staring at this position?"

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated, "Director Yue, I've thought about it clearly.

The studio team had already signed other notices for me after careful consideration. I will explain it to Director Lin myself..."

If it weren't for the old acquaintance on the other end of the phone, Yue Jun would definitely start scolding him right now.

"I advise you to think about this matter again. Also, go and talk to Director Lin yourself. This is not a trivial matter. I can't make the decision."

"Well, okay, thank you, Director Yue."

A few minutes later, looking at the screen of his mobile phone after hanging up the call, Yue Jun cursed:

"What kind of team is this company recruiting? They don't have any business vision. It's better to fire them all and replace them!"

…

Cao Baoping was very efficient. He called Lin Nan at around three o'clock in the afternoon and the casting of "The Murderer" had been completed.

In the list, there is no so-called "newcomer" or "star", they are all serious actors.

Immediately afterwards, the cast list was published online and was hotly discussed in the film and television circles.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Cao Baoping, the movie "The Murderer" has been cast. The starring list is as follows: Liu Ye, Zhang Yi, Wang Ziwen..."

"When are you going to turn it on? Teacher Cao."

"At the beginning of February. I spent this New Year's Eve on the set."

"Okay, if you need anything, call me anytime."

"It's natural. If not you, who would we look for? Haha..."

…

Liu Yifei had already changed her clothes and was waiting nearby, ready to go out with Lin Nan.

Director Lin Da just stood up, took Miss Liu's bag, and held her hand.

At this time, another call came in unexpectedly.
