That year Huayu

Wu Gan, a big-mouthed man, has made the mistake of speaking without restraint again.

In the morning, while the film festival officially opened, it was also the opening time of the permanent unit, the first "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week".

The permanent unit module of the Magic City International Film Festival named after "Jackie Chan" was unveiled by the eldest brother himself.

Therefore, a large number of action actors and stars from home and abroad came to support the show.

In addition, there were also film festival officials, hundreds of first- and second-tier actors in the industry, and nearly a hundred mainstream media as guest witnesses.

It was under this circumstance that Wu Gan openly and severely "disparaged" some domestic youth films on the spot.

His words can be described as quite sharp and harsh.

What about "impotence", "deformity", "spiritual drugs", "good students fall in love, have sex, and have abortions all day long?", "even a good student has been ruined by these movies"...

When Lin Nan rushed over, the scene was really lively.

Wu Gan was surrounded by reporters who kept asking him if he was naming people like Zhao Wei, Zhang Yibai, and He Jiong?

Obviously, "Wolf Warrior" also realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he had to remain silent and stopped talking. Fortunately, Jackie Chan came to the rescue and attracted firepower.

“He was originally talking about the topic that male actors should play more masculine scenes and roles;

But who knows why, as he was talking, the topic suddenly changed to "sissy" and youth movies? He also said that youth movies are the current trend, and nine-and-a-half out of ten movies focus on having sex and abortion...

It is a self-deprecating action movie with punches and fists, and its living space is getting smaller and smaller... The domestic film industry is preparing to use youth movies to compete with Hollywood! "

Listening to Lu Yang's retelling of the whole process, Lin Nan was a little speechless.

Obviously, the masculine movie Wu Dan is talking about should be "Slaying the Wolf 2"!

"He's right. There are indeed a lot of youth movies nowadays; as long as they are made, they can basically make money."

In the end, Lin Nan nodded, confirming what Wu Dan said.

However, the occasion the latter chose to speak was really inappropriate and overshadowed his speech.

"Director Lin, why didn't you see Yifei?"

Jackie Chan, who got rid of the media reporters, smiled and said hello from a distance, and walked over.

"She and Shu Chang went to the movies. Aren't there many movies premiering today?"

When Lin Nan said this, the image of Miss Liu's lazily sleeping posture when he went out came to mind. She should be up now, right?

"That's quite pleasant." Jackie Chan walked up to him, smiled and hugged Lin Nan:

"Looking for a place to chat later? I have to learn from you about the main melody movie. To be precise, it is the main melody commercial movie!"

"Huh? Why did brother think of asking this?" Lin Nan asked in confusion for a moment.

Jackie Chan didn't explain, but shook his head gently, "Let's talk later?"

"good."

Lin Nan also noticed something was wrong and immediately agreed.

After spending half an hour at "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week", while socializing, Lin Nan also received several phone calls:

Liu Dehua took time off from the crew of "The Great Wall" to fly over and invited him to attend the premiere ceremony on behalf of the crew of "Rescuing Mr. Wu"; the Tian-like appearance must be praised, "The Woman of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei"...

…………

At 10:30 in the morning, Lin Nan, his assistant, and Jackie Chan sat down together in a coffee shop not far from the main area of ​​the film festival.

The accompanying assistants were sitting in the hall, while Lin Nan and Jackie Chan were in the private room.

"Brother wants to know your experience in making commercial films with main themes?"

"Yes. We all know that your "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" successfully opened up the field of commercial films with main themes. Learning from you is the most direct and effective way."

Jackie Chan picked up the coffee cup and nodded with a smile.

To be honest, even though Jackie Chan said so, Lin Nan was still a little doubtful. Such a small thing doesn't need to be so formal, right?

But since the other party asked for advice, he knew everything:

"A commercial film with a main melody is still a commercial film after all. It must be clearly entertaining, so the script and story are very important; but because it is a main theme, it must also be serious.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to balance and take into account the values ​​​​of the main theme and the entertainment of commercial films. It cannot be too preachy, nor can it be entertaining and vulgar..."

While Lin Nan was talking, he also paid attention to Jackie Chan's expression. He listened very carefully and seemed to be a little confused?

"Brother, why are you suddenly interested in commercial films with the main theme?"

After a long time, Lin Nan put down the coffee cup and asked again.

"The main theme...is better than the trial."

Jackie Chan's voice is not loud and his speaking speed is also slow.

"Brother, do you want to film the main theme?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously without thinking too much.

Jackie Chan smiled and did not answer immediately, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Lin Nan already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I have two movie plans for the second half of the year, which should be filmed one after the other at the same time..." Jackie Chan rambled on.

"One is "Kung Fu Yoga" co-produced by China and India, which is a bit like "The Myth"; the other is a commercial film with the main theme. The script is currently being prepared, but the theme has been decided and will be jointly produced by our company and Shanghai Film. Is that why I came to you to ask for your experience?"

Jackie Chan looked at Lin Nan who was "seriously" drinking coffee and raised his cup.

Director Lin felt a little upset at this moment, he shouldn't have agreed to Jackie Chan coming out to drink coffee.

But he still couldn't help it and asked confirmingly: "What story?"

"It roughly tells the story of the Railway Flying Tigers, composed of railway workers and ordinary people, fighting against Japan. Well, the name is "Railway Flying Tigers"!"

Lin Nan fell completely silent and said no more words. He remembered the time before, when Jackie Chan and Ren Zhonglun invited him to dinner.

"It's very tiring to work on two movies at the same time. Speaking of which, my eldest brother is more diligent than me!" Lin Nan changed the topic.

"If possible, who would want to make two movies at the same time? I am 61 years old this year."

Jackie Chan's tone was full of exhaustion, Lin Nan didn't answer and continued to talk about something else.

Ten minutes later, he looked at his watch and then said:

"It's almost 11 o'clock. If brother has nothing else to do, then I'll go back? Otherwise, Yifei should call to find him."

There wasn't much left in the second cup of coffee, so Lin Nan drank it in one gulp. He looked at Jackie Chan with a smile.

"You are so young and can't live without me... I didn't have this intention back then. I didn't take my family seriously. Now I regret it so much..."

A few minutes later, a group of six people waved and separated at the film festival exhibition area.

Seeing Jackie Chan walking away with his assistant, Lin Nan frowned.

When did Jackie Chan's movies get blocked from review? And this time it’s jointly produced by Shanghai Film and Television!

"The main theme... is better than the trial?

The main theme of commercial films...the main theme is for the higher-ups to watch, while commercial films are for the audience and the market! Grab it with both hands? You really put a lot of thought into it for your own son! Tsk tsk tsk. "

…………

In just two hours, a piece of “high-profile” news was added to the film festival-related information:

"Director Wu Gan angrily criticized domestic youth films for "impotence" and "drugs"..."

Following the last "EXO incident", Wu Gan's Weibo was once again flooded with traffic; a large number of netizens and fans flooded the screen and made a fuss, and the criticism was still far louder than the support.

At the same time, the “Big Data Forum” hosted by Alibaba Pictures has once again become the focus of the industry.

But in Lin Nan's view, Ali's slogan this time is more "arrogant" than when he first proposed the "big data" theory during the Shanghai International Film Festival last year.

Because their theme this time is directly: big data boosts the positioning of domestic movies and beats Hollywood—it’s not a dream!

There were dozens of big names in the industry who came to support the show: Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xingchi, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, Xu Zheng, Guo Jingming... the momentum was immediately overwhelming!

…

Miss Liu didn't get up too late today. She got up soon after Lin Nan left the hotel. After that, she came to the screening area with Shu Chang.

"Tsk, tsk, I just saw Director Chen Kaige and Producer Chen Hong being interviewed there. They were so impressive that reporters didn't even dare to say anything unpleasant."

As soon as they met, Shu Chang couldn't help but started chattering. Liu Yifei was speechless at the side and rolled her eyes at her best friend: "Please keep your voice down, there are so many people around."

Lin Nan could already think of the scene in Shu Chang's mouth and joked: "Let Qianqian take you to find Liu Yan this afternoon and hear Liu Yan's personal experience."

"You are joking about this matter again, she has always had a psychological shadow.

By the way, Wu Gan just said that you followed Jackie Chan. Where did you go? "

Facing Liu Yifei's inquiry, Lin Nan smiled helplessly:

"Invite me to drink coffee and ask you something about the main theme commercial film. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone. Let's go and have a look at the foreign language film exhibition area and talk as we go..."

…

The Magic City International Film Festival is a big stage, bringing together more than 80% of the filmmakers, companies, and stars in the domestic film and television industry.

And the topic that so many people gather together to pay attention to and discuss is of course the current "big bull market"!

"Huayi is currently the listed company with the highest market value in the domestic film and television industry. Its business spans film and television production, film distribution, cinema lines, cultural tourism towns, real estate, finance, Internet, games, finance...

Compared with the size of the group, we don’t have many senior managers, and they don’t stand out; especially there are none who are recognized as the top and most capable executives in the industry..."

Wang Zhongjun's words rang out in the living room, as if they were bewitching.

"The group's shares, the identity of the shareholders on the board of directors, the group's vice president, my position as the group's general manager, the president of the subordinate core company, complete and independent power..."

After Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei added again that every bargaining chip was put on the table.

There were only three people in the living room. Apart from Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the remaining one was Ye Ning.

"Mr. Ye, how are you thinking? It's been two months since our first 'contact'."

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Ning frowned. He was really confused!

"I have been with Wanda for more than ten years, and I still need more time to think about...think about it."

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other, the former nodded, and the latter spoke:

"Yes, Mr. Ye, just think about it. Huayi's bargaining chip will not change, and the door is always open for you. I also believe that we will work together.

After all, Mr. Ye has nowhere to go in Wanda. That person can give you dividends, but not many shares, and there are many competitors, right? "

"Well, thank you."

Ye Ning only said four words and continued to remain silent.

A few minutes later, Wang Zhonglei sent the person out.

"It's already been two months. How long will it take?"

"Wanda's stall is too big. Although he has a lot of constraints within the group, as an old man of more than ten years, it is not easy to dig it out."

Having said this, Wang Zhonglei paused for a moment: "At least there is a high possibility of poaching Ye Ning. Yue Jun is simply unable to get in!"

"It's understandable. That guy was originally a 'joyman' at Qingying Film Factory. Lin Nan gave him the chance... He's just a fool."

Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, his tone was very contemptuous.
