That year Huayu

"Director Lin, you will award the main competition unit...at about the time...the staff will remind you that you need to prepare in advance in the background."

Lin Nan received an email with the schedule for the award ceremony, "Well, I understand."

"Then we won't disturb your rest anymore. See you at the award ceremony."

After watching the assistant send the people from the organizing committee out, Lin Nan flipped through the complete schedule of the film festival.

Jackie Chan Action Movie Week Iron Man Award, Asian Newcomer Award, Movie Channel Media Award.

These three unit modules will hold awards evenings three nights before the closing ceremony, starting tomorrow night.

The evening of the closing ceremony is the home venue of the main competition unit, and it is also the time when all participating crews, actors and stars gather together.

"Best Actor..."

Looking at the several awards marked with his name on the back of the process chart, Lin Nan read out softly. They were indeed core awards.

At the same time, he remembered another funny thing.

This morning, the reason why he chose to stay in the hotel to rest instead of going to the film festival was because the "Film Industry Masters Forum" was being held there. The name sounded very "pretentious".

Lin Nan received the invitation, and was invited several times by the film festival organizing committee and the Shanghai Municipal Government.

Who gave him so many awards? Golden Lion, Golden Bear, Silver Bear, Jury Prize, Golden Ball, Oscar...

But what age is this? Where did the "master" come from?

Not only him, but Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai, Cao Baoping and others also did not go.

The reason is that everyone is not thick-skinned enough and wants to lose face!

Since you don’t want to participate in the “Film Industry Masters Forum” as a “master”, it’s naturally best not to show up and hang out in the film festival area.

Otherwise, if it is photographed by the media or seen by the organizer, wouldn’t it be a naked slap in the face of the film festival organizing committee and officials? You have time to hang out, but no time to be a "master"?

"Let me see, what 'masters' are giving 'lectures' there?"

Lin Nan suddenly became playful and clicked on the news. After a few minutes he was happy.

There are really two "masters" on this "Film Industry Masters Forum"!

One is Hou Xiaoxian, who recently won the Best Director Award from the Cannes International Film Festival and returned home with great honor;

And the other one is what everyone expected, the only Palme d'Or director in China - Chen Kaige!

"Tsk, tsk, this is really lively! Xu Zheng, Guo Jingming, Zhao Yanzi, Dong Chengpeng... master class?"

Lin Nan stood up from the sofa teasingly and was about to go out to find Liu Yifei. The "Master" forum is almost over.

…

Since the stock market plunged the day before yesterday, today is already the third day.

Big A is still falling, falling sharply, and the index has also fallen to 4,800 points.

As the leading listed company in the film and television industry, Huayi's latest market value dropped to 75 billion after the market closed in the morning.

15 billion less in three days, the entire film and television industry is sighing. This is a direct loss of nearly three Bona, which is terrifying!

When Lin Nan found Liu Yifei, she, Shu Chang, and Xie Nan had just come out of the screening room of "The Heart of the Sun".

The three of them all looked emotional. It was obvious that the movie was very good and they all watched it.

"Director Lin, you only have eyes for Yifei, right? A big man like me is waving to you!"

In the distance, Huang Bo's voice instantly attracted the attention of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

I saw him just coming out of the screening room, walking slowly over with a smile on his face.

"I really didn't notice you. When did you come here?" Lin Nan said hello with a smile.

With the launch of "Extreme Challenge" on TV stations and online platforms a few days ago, there is another popular top reality show variety show in China.

As the regular guests in "Extreme Challenge", Huang Bo, Sun Honglei and Huang Lei can be said to be "the gods in one battle" and they are very popular!

Of course, other guests are also popular, but these three are not in the limelight.

"I arrived yesterday afternoon. Your Yifei has already asked this question."

Hearing Huang Bo's complaints, Liu Yifei smiled at Lin Nan and nodded:

"He came to Shanghai to record "Extreme Challenge" yesterday. He just showed off to us, saying that work is play and play is work!"

"Not only that, but he also tricked us into becoming flying guests, saying that he could get less salary and take a commission."

Shu Chang added with a smile, and Xie Nan also nodded.

"Hey, isn't this a joke?"

Lin Nan could tell that Huang Bo really liked "Extreme Challenge".

On the one hand, it may be that the program team really gave him a lot, but on the other hand, it is just as he said: work is just fun! And it’s a random, rule-free way of playing, everything depends on your brain!

"Since you are here, remember to go to the "Looking for the Dragon" exhibition area."

In Lin Nan's plan, "The Secret of the Dragon" is to be put into the Lunar New Year slot, so the publicity at this time is not particularly important. In addition, almost all the crew and creators are busy, so the exhibition area is empty. No different. However, we have captured a strong man like Huang Bo here, so if he doesn’t use it, he won’t use it in vain!

"No problem, I'll go in the afternoon."

The few people left together chatting and laughing, which really attracted the attention of many people in the surrounding circles and the media.

…

After the lunch gathering, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang received invitations to the new premiere of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

It used to be the 25th, but now it’s the 28th!

Just change it, but the premiere is obviously to be held in the capital on the 28th of the month, but now you are sending invitations to the Shanghai Film Festival?

Lin Nan was convinced by this operation. Is this taking advantage of the fact that most people in the circle are here to serve it all at once? !

After discussing with Lu Yang, Lin Nan decided to change the premiere time of "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" from July 1 to June 27, one day earlier than "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

The two martial arts films are originally competing and contrasting with each other, so it’s just right that the premieres are held one after the other!

As for "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", they are not planning to hold a premiere, but will choose to release it directly!

Because the publicity effect on the Internet has been very good, the promotional video with "Wukong" as the theme song is indispensable.

There is only the last half month left before the release of these two Lin Nan Pictures films. This also means that the summer season is about to begin.

…

"Director Lin, the special effects shots of "Detective Chinatown" have been edited into the film. Do you think we should send them for review now, or wait until you come back?"

After receiving the call from Yue Jun, Lin Nan thought for a while.

Before he came to Magic City, the post-production of "Detective Chinatown" was actually 99% completed, and the only difference was a few special effects shots.

"After pulling the tab, is there any problem?"

"No, the special effects shots are very smooth and natural."

"Then submit it for review and the schedule will be announced at the end of the month."

Lin Nan said with certainty. There will definitely be no accidents in the review of "Detective Chinatown", so it is completely fine and feasible to set the release date before obtaining the release permit.

"Okay, Director Lin."

After hanging up Yue Jun's call, Lin Nan remembered "The Conjuring 2" which was being released in North America, and he immediately checked the movie information there.

"The Conjuring 2" officially opened on June 10th, North American time. As of today, the total box office has reached a cumulative US$200 million.

Seeing this data, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to call Wen Ziren. This guy is really strong!

“Sissi, let’s go out for a walk later…

Lin Nan shouted towards the bathroom.

"Ah? Okay!"

…………

Hotel conference room.

Headed by Zhang Qiang, the executives and team who came to participate in the Magic City International Film Festival are all here.

"Wang Wei from Tudou has recently met with people from several large accounting firms, all of whom are from Hong Kong Island."

"The accounting firm... is it a prelude to financing?"

"Hong Kong Island? They don't plan to invest in A-shares? Choose the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

"But there's no sound at all outside? I haven't heard of it..."

…

Listening to the chatter of the team, Zhang Qiang continued to remain silent.

From the day Alibaba took a stake in Youku, it has been infiltrating...

No matter which industry you enter, monopoly is the most worry-free operation mode.

The two strongest video websites and platforms currently on the market are undoubtedly the already listed Youku and the unlisted Tudou.

The reason why Tudou can compete head-on with Youku, and even has a considerable advantage, is precisely because of Lin Nan Pictures, Wanda and Enlight behind it!

These three companies have provided sufficient cash flow for Tudou, and they are also the rare owners in the industry who are not short of money!

In Zhang Qiang's view, the group's plan is perfect: to swallow Youku, then follow the same method to win Tudou, and then merge...to complete the market monopoly! Now you just need to do it step by step without thinking too much.

“How far behind Youku are we?”

Hearing Zhang Qiang's question, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

"Director Zhang, it's almost done, just the last small part is missing." A senior executive replied.

"How long will this part take?"

"Two months is certainly enough. But it will take longer to complete the equity acquisition and changes without letting the antiques notice.

3 months at most! We can guarantee that we will win over those shareholders and their shares within 3 months at most. "

Hearing this answer, Zhang Qiang was much more satisfied.

"Continue to keep an eye on Tudou. Once there is news about financing, we will prepare immediately."

"Mr. Zhang, to put it bluntly, Penguin should have got the promise. And Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight and Wanda seem to be a little repulsive and resistant to us?"

Zhang Qiang nodded, this is indeed a fact. Because last year, the team noticed that Penguin seemed to be ahead of Alibaba on Tudou's side.

He raised his head and looked at everyone:

"Don't think about this. We are not the only ones eyeing the big cake of Tudou. When the time comes, Board Ma will communicate in person, just like when we bought shares in Huayi, Youku, and..."

Hearing the word "Mr. Ma", a group of people instantly felt like they were in a state of shock. Because from the perspective of the entire Alibaba department, there is nothing that "Director Ma" cannot handle!

…

Lin Nan really had nothing to do. While driving around with Liu Yifei, she also walked around the entrance of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

However, it is indeed extremely "busy" here. In this international metropolis, there are people shouting and cursing in the streets, and there are quite a few of them!

"Come on, let's go. We agreed to be a guest at Tangtang's place. She's still waiting."

Liu Yifei, who was in the passenger seat, curled her lips and urged. She unconsciously looked out the window. It was messy, crowded, messy, full of snot and tears...

"Tsk, tsk, it's so miserable."

Lin Nan smiled and joked, then stepped on the accelerator lightly and stopped looking at the leeks who were out of control!
