Chapter 1066

"Last night, the 17th Huabiao Awards coincided with the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, so the guest lineup for this Huabiao Awards was the highest specification in history.

Not only were Li Bingbing and Huang Bo acting as substitute hosts, but they also adopted a double set of opening guests and awarding guests:

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Wong Kar-wai, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Huang Jianxin, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, Xu Zheng, Xue Xiaolu, Cao Baoping, and many other big directors gathered;

There were also dozens of first-tier actors and big names in the industry, Chen Daoming, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Nicholas Tse, Tong Dawei, Zhang Jiayi, Wang Xueqi, Jing Tian, Yang Mi...

All the above practitioners in the industry were opening, awarding, and performing guests.

The results of this Huabiao Awards are as follows:

A total of 9 films, including *The Founding of an Army*, *Operation Red Sea*, *Wolf Warrior 2*, *Xuanzang*, and *Shibadong Village*, won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Feature Film;

Guo Fan and Lu Yang won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Director for the first time with *Operation Red Sea*; Wu Jing won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor with his outstanding performance in *Wolf Warrior 2*;

Actor Chen Jin won the Huabiao Best Actress award for the second time... *How Long Will I Love U* won the Outstanding Youth Film Creation Award..."

Was the Huabiao Awards last night lively? Undoubtedly, it was quite lively. Whether it was the number of actors and stars who attended, or the number of big directors and big names who were guests, it was rarely many, very many.

Such a red carpet scale and guest lineup that was astonishing to the point of being dazzling can be said to have kept all the media at the scene and the massive fans online busy, because this was simply a visual feast!

Of course, after turning over the night, the Huabiao Awards were still "lively", no, it was even more "lively".

It's just that the "liveliness" this morning was not purely because of so many dazzling star guests, but also mixed with the expected scolding and sarcasm in the industry, and more and more.

The reason is also very simple, it was caused by *The Founding of an Army*. Everything, without any deviation from the netizens' "prophecy": from Hundred Flowers to Huabiao, this trash film kept winning awards all the way.

"I originally just knew that this Huabiao Awards would be very grand, but I really didn't expect that they would pull more than half of the industry over.

Of course, this also explains why the venue was set at the National Gymnasium. Because that place is big, it can accommodate so many people!" Lin Nan laughed belatedly, shaking his head lightly.

"Director Jiang's words on the awards stage really couldn't be refuted. The registration requirement for the Huabiao Awards is films released before June 30th, but *Dying to Survive* was released on July 1st.

This directly caused you to lose the opportunity to defend your title! I don't know what opponents you will meet in the next session, after all, it is definitely a priority for mainstream films..." Liu Yifei was

taking off her makeup, while interjecting.

Beside, Andy On was also taking off his makeup. But unlike Liu Yifei, this was his last time taking off makeup on the *Mulan* crew. This morning, he finished filming.

"Huabiao, it has never been a pure film award, and even its film attribute is ranked second. So winning once is enough, after all, a large number of peers are still queuing up behind waiting..."

"Lin Dao's words are correct, this is equivalent to stamping, giving you a quarantine pass, then don't delay others' quarantine and certification..."

"Pfft, you really can't spit out ivory from your mouth, how are you talking?" Liu Yifei gave a white look, and couldn't help but laugh herself.

"I didn't describe it wrong, they are all 'oink oink' waiting to be listed, with a quarantine pass, it will naturally be more formal. Hehe..."

"Everyone says Lin Dao's crew is always happy, I really believe it now." Teacher Gong Li couldn't stop laughing, and even put down the character biography she had just picked up.

"Happy, that's good." After laughing, Lin Nan looked at Andy On again: "The farewell banquet at noon is already prepared, are you really leaving immediately after eating? Don't rest for one night? You can set off tomorrow morning."

"No, Lin Dao, I have been in the crew for more than three months, I really miss home a bit.

When the film's post-production is finished and those trivial shots are unified and re-shot, we can gather again. In short, I will definitely not be absent from the final large-scale farewell banquet." Andy On turned to look at Lin Nan, smiling and swearing.

The lunch gathering was bound to be sumptuous, because more than a dozen big fat sheep chose to die heroically; and the temperature below 10 degrees was really too suitable for the atmosphere of barbecue, it was called comfortable, enjoying.

Even using Liu Yifei's joke, it is that after *Mulan* is officially finished, we must let logistics give a data to see how many sheep the entire crew ate in these few months!

I think just on the item of "eating and drinking", the entire *Mulan* crew contributed at least several million to this side during the filming period, right?

After all, Lin Dao's crew is famous in the industry for "eating and drinking", and has always been unsparing.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Guo Fan returned to the crew on time.

And the filming of *Mulan* will officially turn to the road of Mulan "becoming a general".

That is, start filming long-length war scenes, as well as Mulan's personal bravery and witty shots on the battlefield. She made repeated military exploits, kept being promoted, from a low-level official step by step upwards, until leading troops...

It was also from the 10th that Lin Nan, Guo Fan, Han Jia, Liu Yifei, Teacher Gong Li, Zou Zhaolong, and others completely entered a state of forgetting to eat and sleep.

Facing war group scenes with thousands of people and hundreds of horses every day, one

director and two deputy directors almost had no chance to breathe.

As for the film and entertainment news from the outside world? Heh, there is no heart to care about those miscellaneous things. Everyone doesn't even know what date it is when they open their eyes every morning!

For a continuous... maybe seven or eight days have passed?

Because it was outdoor filming from early morning to late night, Lin Nan's skin was obviously much rougher, but obviously much stronger.

Deputy Director Han was slowly developing towards a yellow-faced woman, and started using a lot of skincare products in the past two days to fight against the wind and ultraviolet rays in the dry environment.

And Guo Fan was even worse, he carried several packs of throat lozenges with him every day, his throat was always hoarse. After all, he is the deputy director responsible for overall coordination, "communicating" anytime, anywhere, and he has lost a circle.

I don't remember which noon I took a nap in the crew, anyway, Lin Nan seemed to hear Liu Yifei chatting with Teacher Gong Li in a half-asleep and half-awake state, it seemed that *Crazy Alien* got an extension key, hmm, one month.

And when he heard the news about Ning Hao and *Crazy Alien* again, it was the 21st, and the Hong Kong film *When Robbers Meet the Monsters* was released. This was still seen in a pop-up message during lunch break when he was tired to death at noon.

In addition, the total box office of *Crazy Alien* had already reached 2.3 billion, and the box office potential was still strong!

Capital, Enlight Media.

"The premiere of *White Snake: Origin*, the two of them also ignore it, right?" Wang Changtian looked at Yue Jun sitting opposite him, and couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, in these ten days, I only talked to Lin Dao once on the phone. He impatiently threw a sentence for me to watch and handle, and then hung up." Yue Jun spread his hands, laughing.

As the second animated feature film of Shiyue Culture, the premiere of *White Snake: Origin* is on the 26th of this month, which is 5 days later.

And Enlight is the exclusive distributor, their work results are directly related to the film's first-day screening rate, so Yue Jun came over to ask about this matter in person today.

"Haha, it can be seen that Lin Dao is really busy." Hearing this, Wang Changtian couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he took the initiative to talk about the main business:

"Since it is the New Year's film season, and it is New Year's Day, the competition for screening resources is very fierce. Enlight has tried its best, and now it can be determined that we can at least get a guaranteed comprehensive screening rate of 25%."

"25%?" Yue Jun muttered first, then nodded: "This screening rate is already okay."

"This is still because this year's New Year's film season is relatively 'peaceful'. If it were the New Year's film season of previous years, an animated film would definitely not get this screening rate. Because big directors' films would likely be fighting to the death, scrambling for screening resources.

Of course, none of them

can compare with this year's Spring Festival season, this year's Spring Festival season is truly a hell mode, hahaha."

"Oh, both leaders are here? That's just right!" The knocking sound interrupted the laughter of Wang Changtian and Yue Jun. The two looked at the sound, and saw Deng Chao standing at the door with a smile.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot you, I made an appointment to come by the way today a few days ago. Sit down quickly." Wang Changtian pointed to the sofa on the side, signaling Deng Chao.

"I saw at a glance that you have business today." Looking at the file bag in Deng Chao's hand, Yue Jun teased knowingly.

"It really let Director Yue guess it. Look, the finished film of *Looking Up*. I'm submitting it for review today, and I'll come to chat with Chairman Wang about the schedule by the way."

"Well, you were muttering about the schedule a few days ago, it's just right that the last producer is here today, just say it." Wang Changtian signaled Yue Jun to Deng Chao, urging with a smile.

"*Looking Up*, although it belongs to the realistic education theme, it is also a commercial film. So, I want to go to the summer season." Deng Chao smiled, speaking bluntly, he is too short of money now!

"Well, it is indeed the most suitable season for dumplings in the year.

As of now, there are already four films: *Ne Zha*, *The Father*, *She Kills*, and *Looking Up*.

And they are all films exclusively produced by Lin Nan Film Industry and Red Star Dock, as well as films participated in investment and joint production." Wang Changtian laughed immediately, looking at Yue Jun, "What do you mean?"

"What can I mean? For films that we participate in investment but are not controlled by us, we have always respected the opinions of the director himself and the controlling party.

Summer season is summer season, at worst, like this year, we will work harder and strive to let our own four films divide the entire summer season again." Yue Jun had a smile on his face, light and breezy.

On the 22nd, the *Mulan* crew stopped work for a long-lost day, taking a holiday and resting.

Consequently, Lin Nan finally had time and energy to pay attention to the film information from the outside world.

It's just that the first-day box office was only 16.6 million? Heh, the magic martial arts comedy blockbuster shot by the Hong Kong circle is indeed trash.

"If there are no accidents, by the end of this month, that is, before the end of this year, *Crazy Alien* should be able to reach 2.6 or 2.7 billion. Ning Hao will be the biggest winner of this New Year's film season."

"Heh, you two are perfectly invisible, right?" Han Jia, who was wearing a mask, lay on the canvas chair on the side and interjected.

"It's okay, there is only a 40% share." Unlike Han Jia, what Liu was wearing on her face was black mask mud. At first glance, it was quite shocking.

"Tsk, show off!"

At this moment, if any acquaintances in the circle saw the state of Lin Nan and others, that

no need to think, they would definitely be unable to help taking pictures.

Because all the main creators were really lying in a straight line, each with a canvas chair; on the skin exposed to the outside, there were masks and skincare products.

Of course, including Lin Nan, but he used Liu Yifei's skincare products.

And Guo Fan, heh, he specifically sent people to the city to buy some back. Mainly his "vicissitudes" were the most serious, after three months of hard work, he seemed to be five or six years older, especially in the last half month.

"Lin Dao, a call from ICBC." The assistant walked over quickly and handed the phone that Lin Nan was charging to him.

"Oh, the money for selling Zhang Jingying Industry has arrived?" Han Jia's bluffing guess immediately made others look at Lin Nan subconsciously, the latter didn't turn on the speakerphone.

"President Wang, it's me, go ahead."

"Lin Dao, the total transaction funds of 5.7 billion US dollars have all come over. Do you want to keep it in foreign currency first, or in RMB?"

After muttering a few words in a low voice, Lin Nan hung up the phone. He was still quite shocked, Disney signed to settle this huge sum within two months, didn't expect it to come over in one month.

Facing everyone's gaze, especially Liu Yifei's eyes, Lin Nan nodded with a smile, "That's right, raised the cub for thirteen years, the money for selling it has arrived."

"Hiss~~"

"So much money!"

"Lin Dao, you are really straightforward." Teacher Gong Li couldn't help but complain.

"This metaphor of yours sounds uncomfortable." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, her tone complex.

Just as Lin Nan wanted to continue joking, he saw the phone he hadn't put down yet vibrate again.

"Tang Mu?" Lin Nan's tone was also a bit wrong.

"Fat Tang Mu is amazing now, he has more power than when he worked for Brother Lin before!" Han Jia immediately chattered.

"Answer it, I guess he is here to ask about the arrival of the funds." Liu Yifei reminded.

"His share arrived much earlier than ours!" While speaking, Lin Nan connected the phone again.

"Hello, President Tang Mu."

"Hehe, Lin, you call me that, my feeling is great. Alright, let's talk about business, Disney just told me that they have already transferred the funds..."

"Yes, the bank has already notified me. Because it is a special matter, there is a special channel, so it has arrived. How are you doing lately?"

Lin Nan turned on the speakerphone this time, so the people around him could hear it. Liu Yifei was even more serious, after all, she is an old friend of Zhang Jingying Industry.

"I am naturally good, after all, it is the awards season now, hehe..."

Hearing this

lewd laughter, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei understood immediately, Tang Mu this guy started his dissipated life of wine and song again.

"By the way, I called you not just to ask if the funds have arrived, there is also an internal message to tell you and Crystal."

"What?"

"You know, *Mulan* is a direct project of Disney Pictures, it is a princess series big IP, so the specification is very high, it is a top-level film resource globally.

But before the end of this month, they will publicly set up another blockbuster that is not much worse than *Mulan*... and the starring lineup will also be chosen from Asians...

Of course, this film is not a direct project of Disney Pictures, but a superhero series of Marvel Studios.

Like Zhang Jingying Industry, although they are all affiliated with Disney, they are all independently operated production companies; so I can only hear the news, but I can't touch the project.

And to tell you the truth, I think this project of theirs is very likely to cause huge controversy, especially on your side..."
