That year Huayu

On the penultimate day of March, all the eyes of the film, television and entertainment circles were on the premiere of "Wolf Warrior".

In fact, no one in the production industry has been optimistic about this movie since it was first proposed.

The reason why it still attracts the attention of many people in the industry is entirely because of its investors - Hongxingwu and Liu Yifei, also known as Lin Nan.

Although many people in the film and television circles are paying attention to "Wolf Warrior", its premiere is still small in scale and there are not many guests.

The reason is that Wu Gan is too inconspicuous.

As an actor he is only a second-rate actor. As a director, he suffered a huge loss in his debut film "Spike".

"At the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" today, the biggest celebrities may be the two of us."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei walking down from the second floor and joked.

To suit the occasion, Liu Yifei originally wanted to wear camouflage, but was stopped by Lin Nan. In the end, she still chose a white women's casual suit.

Only in this way can we not only appear sassy, ​​but also distinguish and reflect the temperament and aura of Liu Yifei, an investor and producer.

"Didn't you say that it doesn't matter whether there are big names in the industry or how many people support it? As long as the audience knows about "Wolf Warrior"!"

Liu Yifei blinked at Lin Nan. At this moment, she really mastered her posture to the extreme, which was really fascinating.

"Well, Producer Liu is right. Let's go then?"

Lin Nan stretched out his hand and invited with a smile.

Liu Yifei picked up her handbag and put her right hand on Lin Nan's hand naturally, "Let's go, Director Lin."

…

The premiere of "Wolf Warrior".

Wu Gan and the crew arrived very early, with Xie Nan by their side.

They had expected the scale of today's premiere, and there wouldn't be many A-listers from the mainland to support it.

"Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang... basically all of the people who came here are the contacts of Director Lin and Yifei. A few people couldn't miss the time, but they said hello specifically. The rest were replied by the assistant..."

At the entrance of the venue, Xie Nan stood beside Wu Dan and reminded him in a low voice.

"Yeah, I know. That's how the entertainment industry is."

Wu Dan nodded. Speaking of which, today there are many more big names in the Hong Kong industry who came to support him than the first-tier mainland artists. After all, he has been in the Hong Kong industry for so many years.

"Hong Jinbao, Liu Zhenwei, Ye Weixin, Zhang Jin, Yam Dahua, Zhong Xintong, Zou Zhaolong..."

Wu Dan was muttering in his mind about the guests from Hong Kong Island. Suddenly, Wu Dan noticed the people coming from a distance.

"Director Lin, Yifei, I've been waiting for you."

Xie Nan's reaction was faster than Wu Gan's and he rushed forward immediately.

"We're not too late, it's only 10 o'clock." Lin Nan emphasized with a smile.

"The crew came early. But you two are investors." Wu Gan retorted with a smile.

"Well, this is the investor, I'm just helping her."

Lin Nan pointed at the somewhat arrogant Liu Yifei, and she rolled her eyes.

"Let's go in, it looks like everyone is here."

After looking around, Liu Yifei said.

She could also tell that today would not be too lively because the industry was not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior", but she believed in Lin Nan's judgment.

"Okay, let's go in."

In the venue, although there were not many big names, there were still a lot of people. Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Guang Guang's reputation can still attract many artists to support Wu Gen.

"Sissi, this way, this way."

Shu Chang was waving from a distance, looking very excited. Liu Yifei dragged Lin Nan and walked over with a smile.

To be honest, this was the first time Lin Nan saw so many Hong Kong filmmakers at a mainland movie premiere. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional that Wu Gan's years in Hong Kong were not in vain.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

"Director Lin..."

…

Many Hong Kong filmmakers and artists came to say hello to Lin Nan, represented by Ye Weixin, Zhang Jin, and Zou Zhaolong. They all had interactions with Lin Nan, and he accepted all who came.

Now that the Hong Kong film industry is in decline, these Hong Kong film makers and artists also understand that the market is on the mainland.

After chatting with Shu Chang and Zhu Yawen for a while, Liu Yifei was greeted by Xie Nan and went to the back. As a producer, she is ready to go on stage with the crew.

"Where do you think the box office of this "Wolf Warrior" will be? After all, it is also a movie invested by your family Yifei!"

Wang Changtian came to Lin Nan and started chatting.

When Ray released Wolf Warriors before, they paid a fixed price of 10 million! Because Wang Changtian never expected "Wolf Warrior" to reach a box office of 100 million.

"Isn't it a bit redundant to ask this now? It will be released the day after tomorrow. Mr. Wang, just watch it slowly."

Lin Nan didn't have the heart to attack Wang Changtian, so he should let him pay attention to the box office data.

It’s already started on the stage, my dear, the host is really Xie Nan!

Wu Gan took the microphone and thanked Liu Yifei for his investment and looked back on the ups and downs of his career as a director.

When Xie Nan asked Liu Yifei as the host why she invested in "Wolf Warrior", everyone originally thought that Liu Yifei, the producer, would give a high-sounding reason.

But the result was different. Liu Yifei's answer made everyone present stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Because she asked Xie Nan directly and naively: "Didn't you ask me for investment? Why are you still asking me?"

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed. Liu Yifei was always like this in interviews. She said whatever she wanted, very straightforward and naive!

It wasn't until the movie was ready to play that Liu Yifei hurried back to her seat with an awkward smile on her face.

"Don't laugh at me."

She glared at Lin Nan and warned in a low voice.

"Okay, I won't laugh, haha..."

On the big screen, "Wolf Warrior" officially begins.

Although they had already watched it once, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still had the patience to watch it again.

"Wu Gan is quite busy right now?"

Wang Changtian glanced in Wu Gan's direction and joked.

Lin Nan also glanced at it. Wu Wan was whispering to the director of Hong Kong Island, not knowing what he was talking about.

The one-and-a-half-hour movie ended quickly. Amidst a round of applause, the crew and Liu Yifei returned to the stage again. What I faced this time was interviews from the media.

"First of all, thank you all for coming today and supporting "Wolf Warrior". Next, friends from the media can ask questions, and we will tell you everything we know."

Wu Gan became polite in a rare moment, and made an inviting gesture to the media box with a smile. The reporters immediately became rude.

"Can I ask Yifei?"

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded.

"Military-themed movies have never been competitive at the box office in the film market. If, I mean if, if you lose this time, will you regret investing in "Wolf Warrior"?"

Liu Yifei raised the microphone and collected her thoughts:

"Let's not talk about compensation or not. It has not been released yet. I believe "Wolf Warrior" is excellent. Even if the box office is not ideal, I will not regret it. It will be an accumulation of experience. In the future , I will continue to invest in movies."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei also glanced at Wu Gan and Xie Nan, and added with a smile:

"If it does well at the box office, I'm still waiting for director Wu Pan to make another movie. We've even agreed on the investment."

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Wu Gan immediately nodded with a smile: "Thank you Yifei and Director Lin for your trust. If it is a hit at the box office, I will definitely make a sequel!"

The media obviously didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so "straightforward" and talk about the topic of "unsatisfactory box office" so lightly. For a moment, I really couldn't think of any other tricky questions, so I had to give up on her in the end, and instead pointed the "spearhead" at Wu Gan and other main creators.

"Director Wu Gan, what do you think of your directing skills..."

…

As a cross-industry director, and one who has already lost money on one movie, Wu Gan has faced round after round of tough problems, but he can only bear them head on.

As it approached 12 noon, the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" was finally over.

Lunch time, that is, the social and entertainment session, officially begins.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen and others sat around a table, not planning to socialize because they didn't need to.

But Huang Xiaoming is different. He walks around the field from time to time to broaden and maintain his network.

"What's going on today? I feel like those people in Hong Kong have been chatting with Wu Gan, as if they have something serious to do. Now there's Xie Nan?"

Zhu Yawen is the second curious one after Wang Changtian.

Lin Nan looked in the direction of Zhu Yawen's gaze, and sure enough, he saw Liu Zhenwei and his group chatting animatedly with Wu Dan and Xie Nan.

"At most, it's just a matter of cooperation. Let's eat first. Today's expenses are all paid for by our producer Liu."

Lin Nan picked up the vegetables and started laughing. Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She didn't refute because it was indeed paid for by Hongxingwu!

Not long after, Wu Dan and Xie Nan came over.

"Director Lin, come on, I have to toast you."

Before Lin Nan could speak, the wine in Wu Dan's cup had already been consumed.

"You guys are quite busy today. I see you've been chatting with me over there?" Lin Nan asked curious questions for the people around him.

"Hey, I thought something was wrong."

Wu Gan smiled and replied: "I owe a lot of favors in Hong Kong. No, Director Liu is preparing a new movie to be shot in the second half of the year. Looking for..."

"We're looking for Wu Gan to star in a new movie, and he's already agreed to take me along with him." Xie Nan took over Wu Gan's words and explained.

"You guessed it right, that's great cooperation!" Zhu Yawen joked.

They didn't ask too many questions, and the few of them just had lunch like this. It was just that there were too many people in the circle who came to say hello and make connections from time to time, which affected the meal.

…………

The next morning, the news of the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" was still on the headlines. The big words "Produced by Liu Yifei" are extremely conspicuous.

At this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were already packing their bags and preparing to leave for the airport.

The assistants and bodyguards loaded the suitcases into the car one by one. There were a lot of them. After all, the filming lasted for two months.

"The hotel address booked by the crew has been sent to all the actors, and they will set off on their own. In addition, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Chen He are already there..."

The movement of luggage in the living room did not disturb Lin Nan, who was answering Yue Jun's call.

"You should keep an eye on the company's affairs. Director Xue will talk to you about the new movie in two days. From the script submission to project approval and casting, you must cooperate with her in everything. After that..."

"No problem. Director Lin, is it the sequel to "Love in Seattle"?" Yue Jun asked.

"um, yes."

"Available actors? Director Xue wants to use the original cast?"

These words reminded Lin Nan that Xue Xiaolu seemed to have said last year that she wanted to use the original cast. If this is the case, then Yang Mi is involved!

"When it's time to cast the part, let me know."

"Okay, Director Lin."

After more than half an hour, all the luggage was packed.

Liu Yifei came out of the room on the second floor wearing slim jeans, a floral top, and black casual boots, followed by Liu Xiaoli, who was still giving instructions.

Looking at Lin Nan in the living room, Miss Liu shouted: "Lin Nan, we can go."

"Just waiting for you."

Lin Nan responded and looked at Liu Xiaoli: "Mom, Sissi and I are leaving?"

"Well, take care of your health over there. After work, you two also go out for a walk, just treat it as a vacation and travel." Liu Xiaoli warned with a loving smile.

…

As it approaches 12 noon, the headlines of film and television entertainment news are updated.

It was the news that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared at the airport with a group of assistants and bodyguards, and there were many photos.

"In the morning, Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei showed up at the airport, accompanied by eight people and several suitcases..."

"It is reported that Director Lin and Liu Yifei will take a flight to Bangkok's Chinatown...Director Lin Nan's first comedy film "Detective Chinatown" is about to start shooting! The crew members have arrived or departed one after another."
