Chapter 100: Liu Yifei's First Weibo Post, Withdrawing from the Association

The plane landed at Capital Airport.

To avoid everyone being blocked by the media, Lin Nan exited the airport first.

Liu Yifei, her mother, and their assistant took a special passage.

"Come back soon."

When they parted, Liu Yifei didn't forget to remind him.

Lin Nan truly admired the media; they actually specifically checked flight information to block people.

The strategy worked well; most reporters were attracted by Lin Nan, and a small number of media saw Liu Yifei and the others, but it was too late to catch up.

"Lin Dao, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award. Can you talk about your feelings?"

"Very happy."

"Are Lin Dao and Yifei first loves?" A Sina reporter asked.

"Mm, yes." Lin Nan answered with a smile.

……

"Lin Dao, how long have you been dating?"

"Lin Dao, going public so early, is there any consideration for the future?"

"Will you get married?"

……

Lin Nan realized that these people were most interested in the matter between him and Liu Yifei. They didn't even ask much about the Golden Lion Award.

"Excuse me, I need to get in the car."

Forcibly squeezing out of the reporters' encirclement, Lin Nan got into the company car.

"Lin Dao, these two days have been full of news about you."

"Hehe, I could guess that."

On the way back to the company, Yue Jun talked about recent work matters.

The day after Lin Nan won the Golden Lion Award, the Golden Rooster sent a guest invitation to the company, and the Golden Horse's arrived the next day.

Lin Nan couldn't avoid the invitation to the premiere of *The Founding of a Republic*; Han Sanping treated him as one of his own.

"Golden Rooster? That's really naked."

Lin Nan could imagine the thoughts of that group of people; it was aimed at the fact that he had just won the Golden Lion that they did this.

Sometimes, how can people be so shameless?

"Not going."

"Mm, then I'll reply to them later saying you have other arrangements."

After returning to the company, amidst everyone's congratulations, Lin Nan entered the office.

Since Weibo went online, he hadn't looked at it yet.

Sina had a foundation in this area, stepping the other two companies firmly under their feet.

He saw the news about Yang Mi and Tang Ren.

Yang Mi still had a lot of fans.

During the activities for *Chinese Paladin 3*, Tang Ren "squeezed out" and didn't notify Yang Mi; these "Honey Bees" scolded Cai Yinong on the internet every day.

The advantages of Weibo were immediately reflected.

Don't say, these fans had strong fighting power, and they could scold anything, "old woman," "old witch"...

Not long after, Lin Nan went to Tiangong Color.

Guo Fan's post-production was already finished, and he was watching the staff rendering special effects.

Although *Source Code* only had a few special effects shots, it couldn't be sloppy; this was Tiangong Color's first complete film special effects project.

"Looks like you really like these."

Hearing someone speak, Guo Fan noticed Lin Nan.

"Lin Dao, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion.

I really like these machines. There aren't many all-around directors; I think one must have a type of film they are good at..."

Guo Fan's words revealed rationality and practicality, and he had self-knowledge.

"How are the special effects?"

"They'll be done in a few days. When the time comes, Lin Dao, please come and give some guidance."

"Alright, no problem."

……

The internet was reporting the news that Lin Nan had returned to the country.

Including the content of his interview at the airport, but unfortunately, they didn't block Liu Yifei; there were only long-distance photos of the latter.

When he returned to the villa in the afternoon, Lin Nan saw Liu Yifei playing with interest in the garden in front of a laptop.

"Come quick, come quick, I posted my first Weibo."

Lin Nan leaned over to take a look. Good guy, so many fans just after opening it today?

Sure enough, the audience base for Little Dragon Maiden and Zhao Linger was too good.

The first Weibo post was a picture.

A round orange cat was lying on a stone table, with a Silver Bear trophy and a Golden Lion trophy in front of it. The caption was: The gift I received!

Huang Xiaoming and the others were fast; they all left comments. "Envious!"

"Look, quite a few people are persuading me, telling me to 'dump' you, saying directors are generally promiscuous, hee hee..."

Liu Yifei said with a giggle.

"This is slander, it's libel!"

Lin Nan immediately stated his position.

"I believe you, haha..."

Liu Yifei seemed to have found the state of the internet-addicted girl she once was, immersed in flipping through Weibo, and even went to look at other celebrities' pages.

That photo of two trophies and one cat spread very quickly.

Many people in the industry noticed it.

Especially that Silver Bear trophy.

Being able to give the Silver Bear for Best Director as a gift showed that they had been together as early as two years ago.

…………

Han Sanping called early in the morning, afraid that Lin Nan would have jet lag and oversleep.

The premiere of *The Founding of a Republic* at the Olympic Sports Center was different from ordinary films; the scale was almost the same as an awards ceremony.

There were too many celebrities and famous people in the industry, at least two hundred starting.

Originally, Lin Nan planned to take Liu Yifei with him, but it was almost ten o'clock, and she was still sleeping.

Liu Mu wanted to wake her daughter up, but was stopped by Lin Nan.

"Aunt, let her sleep. It's not a big deal; it's fine to go or not."

Lin Nan drove the car himself and set off for the Olympic Sports Center.

When he arrived, he saw that there were dozens of security guards outside, and the red carpet was over thirty meters long; the pomp was sufficient.

"Mm, this is Chairman Han's style!"

"Oh my, isn't this our newly promoted Golden Lion great director? Come, come, let's walk the red carpet together."

He saw Jackie Chan with a beard, a smile on his face, walking over in two or three steps, pulling Lin Nan's arm.

"Brother Jackie is too polite, let's go together."

Today's scene was much more grand than the awards ceremony.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Gu Changwei, Peter Chan, John Woo...

Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guoli, Tony Leung, Chen Daoming...

Damn, Lin Nan saw a jinx; bad luck.

The actors in *The Founding of a Republic* were basically all there, and there were many invited guests; there were quite a few old drama bones.

Han Sanping saw Lin Nan, waved his hand, and continued chatting in the crowd.

Zhang Yimou smiled and greeted him. "Lin Nan, not bad, keep working hard."

"Learning from Director Zhang, haha."

Sitting in the arranged seat, among a group of great directors, Lin Nan's appearance was simply too eye-catching!

"You kid are amazing. When I first went to Venice, only Xia Yu won Best Actor. You're good, you've pocketed both Best Actor and the Golden Lion."

Jiang Wen patted Lin Nan on the shoulder and said in a loud voice, afraid that some people wouldn't hear.

Before the film was officially screened, there was a performance segment.

Jackie Chan took the lead and sang *Country*.

Next were Wang Feng, Sun Nan... Huang Xiaoming, Huang Shengyi... Wang Baoqiang...

The two-hour-plus film was perfect overall; it could be said to be an all-star blockbuster, revealing a majestic momentum and historical profundity.

Huang Xiaoming was radiant, holding a wine glass and walking over.

"Lin Dao, congratulations. Why didn't I see Yifei today?"

"Uh... she has something else to do."

Lin Nan fooled him with a sentence; he couldn't say she was sleeping in at home.

After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Nan knew that Huang Xiaoming had started to cross over to be a producer.

Worthy of being Sect Leader Huang, he had already invested in several TV dramas.

Heard the first one, *Dark Fragrance*, had been airing for half a month, and the ratings were not bad.

"If Lin Dao likes it, you can invest in my TV drama."

"Mm, maybe there'll be a chance."

……

……

Quite a few people came over to greet Lin Nan; there were only a few Golden Lion directors.

"Come over here."

Lin Nan waved at Wang Baoqiang.

The latter pointed at himself, and Lin Nan nodded.

Wang Baoqiang revealed his signature smile and trotted over, attracting the attention of many people.

"What is Lin Dao looking for him for?"

There were quite a few curious people.

"Lin Dao, are you looking for me?"

"Within half a year, do you have any schedule?"

Lin Nan's words left the group of people around them dumbfounded. Is this bumpkin about to get lucky?

"I, I have announcements."

Wang Baoqiang still told the truth, which surprised Lin Nan a bit. Is there really someone who doesn't understand what he means?

"If Lin Dao is willing to give him a chance, then all his activities within half a year can be pushed aside."

At this time, Wang Zhonglei hadn't arrived, but his voice had already fallen.

"President Wang?" Wang Baoqiang asked.

Wang Zhonglei didn't care about his own artist, but walked to Lin Nan. "Lin Dao, is there a role for him?"

"Mm, he can try that *Lost on Journey*, partnering with Xu Zheng."

Lin Nan said it directly.

"No problem, I will have someone push aside all of Baoqiang's subsequent announcements.

Still not thanking Lin Dao."

Wang Baoqiang only then reacted. "Ah, thank you Lin Dao, I will definitely act well..."

This scene left many actors at the scene dumbfounded. Is it really true that fools have fool's luck, and he was chosen by Lin Dao?

……

At the premiere of *The Founding of a Republic*, the news that Wang Baoqiang luckily got a role in a Lin Nan Film Industry movie spread that same day.

In the eyes of a crowd of agencies and actors, this meant that two movies from Lin Nan Film Industry had started casting.

On the other side, the Film Association received a letter of withdrawal.

It wasn't that no one had withdrawn before, but this time the one withdrawing was Lin Nan.

"Is he trying to rebel?"

"Tian Zhuangzhuang taught this kind of thing?"

"Unscrupulous, no rules..."

……

A group of "decision-makers" from the association sat together to hold a meeting and discuss.

If it were someone else, let them go.

But Lin Nan was different. Although the association had always had small movements, they ultimately didn't want to let go of this young great director with a famous reputation.

"Now speak up, how to solve it?"

"How about inviting Director Tian and letting him talk to Lin Nan?" A secretary offered an idea.

"This idea is not bad."

"I also think it's okay..."

……

A phone call was made to the Beijing Film Academy. Tian Zhuangzhuang was also quite busy. After seeing the caller ID, he hesitated, but still answered.

……

"What did he say?"

"Director Tian, Director Tian..."

"What? Not willing to go?"

"Director Tian said he respects his student's thoughts, let's part on good terms..."

"Bastard, what does he want to do? We haven't withdrawn yet!"

"Forget it, since others want to withdraw, let them withdraw..."

Someone persuaded him; he knew that many directors had great opinions about the association. They were all unconvinced that a group of old men who didn't make movies held the power of speech...
