Chapter 1119

"Others are just coping with the task by forwarding the above statements and positions on the intranet and Weibo, but only Yifei and Lin Nan are stubborn;

Both of them have spoken out on the foreign network, firmly supporting the law enforcers. Isn't this consequence destined? Look, they are being attacked by extremists outside.

Also, with the influence of the two of them, if it didn't cause a sensation and didn't cause those people and those organizations to encircle and boycott them on a large scale, that would be truly hellish!"

"The foreign network has already begun to boycott 'Mulan' on a large scale, insulting Senior Brother Lin and Xixi, and carrying out personal attacks and threats.

I heard that they have also attacked Disney's official website, demanding a ban on 'Mulan', never to be screened... Even, even cursing the unborn child."

Little Han looked at the news outside, her whole person in a state of uncontrollable anger. Just like that, she followed up with Chairman Ren with emotional excitement.

Starting from the early morning of the 12th, for three consecutive days, a series of serious personal injuries sufficient to be fatal occurred against ordinary mainland people temporarily residing there.

This situation forced the mainland, which had always remained silent, to finally be unable to help but speak out and intervene.

And then the situation behind was like this, with a large number of public figures following behind to express their positions.

It's just that the vast majority of celebrities are a bit timid, or simply coping with the task, or even pretending to be dead without reacting; in short, they are afraid of getting into trouble.

Only a very small number of public figures ran outside to throw grenades, and the typical examples among them were Liu Yifei and Lin Nan.

The result is obvious; they have also become typical targets. But undoubtedly, the two of them definitely do not regret doing this!

"As the leader of the industry, as one of the few filmmakers and actors with influence outside, this is what they should do." Putting down the teacup, Han Sanping affirmed with a solemn expression.

"No, I have to go over and see. Yifei's belly is so big, don't let her be angered by those ugly words.

But thinking about it, it shouldn't happen; she has always had a big heart, the kind that is terrifyingly strong... Forget it, forget it, I'd better go and see. I don't know what the situation is with the two of them right now? I'm still waiting to be a godmother."

While talking, Han Jia stood up and walked straight outside with some worry;

She even forgot to say hello to her own father and Chairman Ren, her mind set on going to visit;

After all, Lin Dao and Producer Liu are not being simply cyberbullied now, but are being realistically threatened and intimidated by that group of people on the foreign network...

"The film and entertainment industry there was originally declining, and now it has accelerated its own chronic death. Every day they don't drink the medicine to cure the disease, but drink poison."

"The number of imported films should be appropriately reduced again. Of course, they haven't made many good films in recent years, and mainland audiences have long been tired of them."

While Han Sanping and Chairman Ren were chattering, the roar of a sports car outside suddenly exploded, and then from near to far—Han Jia went out.

"Bona's 'The Bravest' got an extension key? Okay, it can be considered not beyond my expectations."

Lin Nan whispered on the phone, trying not to wake Liu Yifei who was sleeping in his arms; the latter looked very weak at this time, completely in a wilted and listless state.

As time got closer and closer to the due date, Liu Yifei's belly got bigger and bigger, and the fetus was constantly perfecting its development... so that she had to be careful when sleeping at night and could not maintain one sleeping posture for a long time.

Especially she could not lie on her back for a long time, otherwise it would lead to a significant reduction in the blood and oxygen supply from the mother to the placenta, and even cause damage to herself, such as dizziness, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms.

In this situation, Miss Liu had to keep tossing and turning every night, and basically could only sleep on her left or right side...

For the two little guys in her belly, she strictly followed the doctor's orders, but she herself was exhausted.

For one thing, it was impossible to enter a deep sleep state at night, and for another, no matter what posture she slept in, she, as a pregnant woman, would not be too comfortable...

After a long time, wouldn't she be in a state of lack of energy and sleepiness during the day? After all, not resting well is a torture to both the spirit and the body.

"It was a document announced half an hour ago, and Bona has already forwarded and announced it on their official Weibo. The box office is quite good, already over 1.2 billion."

"But I don't think they can get much more box office in September, because according to the daily income trend of 'The Bravest' now, the daily box office at the end of the month will only be about 10 million at most."

"What about 'She Killed'?"

"As of yesterday, it just passed 400 million. But there is still half a month, so I think it should be able to climb over the 500 million threshold." Speaking of the data for 'She Killed', Yue Jun's tone suddenly had some regret and pity.

Seeing that Lin Nan didn't reply for a long time, Yue Jun couldn't help but tease: "Lin Dao, you and Yifei are afraid you have to keep a low profile for a short time."

"Hahaha, it's not a big deal. We will stay at home as we should, completely unaffected, and we were laughing for a while this morning."

Lin Nan said with a smile; he didn't fool Yue Jun.

Because the more irritable those people outside are, the more it shows that they are clowns; the audience appreciates the wonderful performance of the clowns and will only give feedback of laughter, and it is impossible to have any other reaction.

"Okay, it's no different from what I guessed, you two are just in this state of mind."

After chatting and laughing simply for a few more sentences, both sides hung up the phone, and immediately after, Lin Nan heard the notification sound of text messages and chat messages here instantly rise again, continuing to be endless.

And at this time, the sound of a car in the manor outside also faintly entered the villa living room... Fine, someone is here.

The movement of Watching Shu Chang running in in a rush woke up Liu Yifei, who was sleeping sweetly in Lin Nan's arms. Han Jia's boisterous shouting appeared earlier than her figure...

"How long have I slept?" Liu Yifei was sleepy-eyed, yawning and humming as she asked Lin Nan.

"Two hours."

"It still has to be you. It's so lively outside, and you can still be so calm, eating, drinking, and sleeping as you should." Following behind Lin Nan, Watching Shu Chang smiled and gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up.

"You worried me for nothing, I was afraid you would move... ah phew phew phew, look at my crow's mouth!"

On the morning of the 16th, the China-Russia co-produced film 'Viy 2: Journey to China', starring Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Yao Xingtong, Li Yu, Ma Li, and others, was "high-profile" released.

If you ask how it was "high-profile"? That's a long story.

The domestic producers were clearly industry top giants like China Film and Sparkle Roll, but in the screening rate of this co-produced blockbuster, one could not see a trace of the "giant's" style and treatment.

The 6.6% first-day screening rate invisibly told the whole industry a fact: cinemas are not optimistic about this so-called China-Russia co-produced blockbuster by Jackie Chan!

And in just one morning, the online word-of-mouth response strongly confirmed this fact—it was all bad reviews and scolding.

Many fans who were very disappointed and regretful about Jackie Chan even tagged Lin Nan after scolding him.

Expecting Lin Nan and 'Mulan' to pull Jackie Chan and save the latter's increasingly poor reputation in recent years;

After all, looking into it, Big Brother has indeed been making bad films all these years, constantly consuming the trust of fans and his own sentiment.

On the 17th, 'Viy 2: Journey to China' handed in its first-day box office report. Sure enough, it was very low, only 8.44 million.

In the eyes of the industry, this number is likely the highest single-day box office for this film.

On the 18th, 'Looking Up', the directorial transformation work of Deng Chao, jointly produced by Enlight, Orange Image, and Lin Nan Pictures, was officially announced to be taken off the screen at 6:00 PM.

'Looking Up', which settled at a total box office of 1.011 billion, barely sent Deng Chao into the 1 billion-level box office director club, allowing him to successfully complete his transformation.

In addition, the second-day box office of 'Viy 2: Journey to China' also perfectly confirmed the industry's speculation: tsk tsk tsk, this is Saturday, box office 4.41 million?!

On the afternoon of the 19th, Lin Nan, who had been at home for several days and kept a low profile for several days, dressed in formal attire and rushed to the CCTV building.

"Last night, the 15th Spiritual Civilization Construction Award Gala was held grandly in Beijing;

Three Chinese commercial blockbusters, 'The Wandering Earth', 'Operation Red Sea', and 'Dying to Survive', won the Five-One Project Award for the film category of the Outstanding Work Award of this session."

"In the award citation, it was stated that these three films are outstanding representative works of Chinese film science fiction themes, Chinese film mainstream military themes, and Chinese film realist themes, respectively, and are the leaders in their respective genre fields..."

"Lin Dao Nan took the stage twice to receive the award as a producer and director. When answering the host's question about 'The Wandering Earth 2', he gave a clear answer: the script is currently in preparation."

"The urban-themed web drama 'I Am Yu Huanshui', jointly produced by Daylight Entertainment and Lin Nan Pictures, starring Guo Jingfei, Miao Miao, Gao Lu, Gao Ye, and others, officially started production this morning."

"In the morning, Daylight Entertainment and Lin Nan Pictures issued a joint announcement: 'Like a Flowing River 2' is officially approved and maintains the original cast, and there is also an actor Reba joining the starring lineup. Some new roles will start casting from today..."

"Lin, this time for promotion, we will not stretch the timeline too long. We plan to start promotion from March 1st and invest all the budget within two and a half months.

And in the 80 days from March 1st to May 20th, we will strive to make 'Mulan' the most focused topic and the most eye-catching blockbuster in the global film market..."

On the morning of the 20th, Lin Nan received a call from Tang Mu. The latter was arranged into the promotion team of 'Mulan' and was one of the people in charge, also responsible for docking with Lin Nan.

"Tang Mu, so what is your promotion budget?" Since they were old partners, Lin Dao spoke much more casually.

"The initial budget is 50 million US dollars. But you know, Disney's brand plus the global influence of the original 'Mulan' animated film is enough to save more than 100 million dollars in promotion costs for this live-action film.

So the actual promotion effect of the 'Mulan' live-action film will definitely be over 150 million US dollars." Tang Mu couldn't help but explain, which was indeed the truth.

"Hmm, I know, I have a bottom line in my heart now.

Okay, since we've finished the serious business, let's chat about gossip. How is your current work situation?" Leaning on the sofa, Lin Nan switched to a more easygoing tone.

"I'm also quite curious, are you paying attention to health management now?" Liu Yifei also leaned over with interest and asked Tang Mu.

The latter naturally understood what Liu Yifei was asking, "Of course, I am already trying hard to control my figure. My old friend, that traditional Chinese medicine doctor, told me that 'a thousand gold cannot buy being thin in old age'.

I am already 46 years old, I can't continue like this anymore. I insist on exercising for two or three hours every day now, and my diet is also very healthy and regular..."

"What about the work and rest schedule? Especially the frequency of evening galas and parties..."

"Lin, don't say such disappointing things. If even these are quit, then my life will become completely dim and lusterless..." Hearing this, Tang Mu instantly interrupted Lin Nan's teasing and emphasized with a guilty conscience.

Fine, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan instantly couldn't stop laughing. How did that saying go? Oh right, it's that it's easier to change rivers and mountains than to change one's nature!

"But speaking of work matters, there is a lot to say. I am now not only responsible for the independent operation of Crystal Pictures, but also have other errands in the group.

Let me tell you an internal piece of news: Disney plans to remake all other princess IPs besides 'Mulan', like 'Snow White', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Cinderella', and so on, into live-action films within the next five years...

This level of big cake appearing one after another will definitely cause a sensation and scramble in the entire European and American film and television circle..."

"Will you participate in it?" As a friend of many years, Liu Yifei instantly guessed the reason why Tang Mu was showing off this matter.

"Hehe, Crystal, you guessed it right. It's just a pity that these are not suitable for yellow people. Otherwise, when the time comes, if you come to compete, I will definitely stand on your side!"

"Then forget it, I don't like these roles. Especially after playing 'Mulan', I look down on these roles even more. They almost have no connotation and higher thoughts of their own, just love stories in fairy tales." Liu Yifei said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Lin Nan savored these words and nodded busily; this is indeed Liu Qianqian's current state of mind!

"Okay, Crystal, I acknowledge your words, after all, 'Mulan' is really the most special one among all princesses.

Or rather, she is not a princess living in a castle at all; she is the only female general on the battlefield, one of the representative female roles on the screen, gathering many excellent qualities...

Crystal, Lin, really, 'Mulan' is really too suitable for winning awards!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Liu Yifei was tired and went to the side to rest. And at this time, Lin Nan picked up his phone and walked outside the door.

"Lin, you and Crystal are celebrities on the cusp of the storm outside now, hahaha." Only Lin Nan was left listening to the phone, and Tang Mu instantly chatted and laughed about other topics.

"Don't talk about these disappointing things, I will notify you in advance about other things so you can have some psychological preparation." Lin Nan smiled and forcibly changed the topic.

"Say it, I'm listening." Tang Mu urged in response.

"I already have the idea of selling overseas assets. It may not be a complete clearance, but at least half of them will be sold.

You know, after selling Crystal Pictures, my other businesses are all in the country, and my and Crystal's child is also about to be born..."

"When will you sell?" In an instant, Tang Mu became serious.

"It should be within these two or three years? Anyway, before the child goes to school, I will definitely handle it, hahaha...

Okay, I admit that I haven't thought about the specific time yet, but this direction and decision have already been clearly set." After laughing, Lin Nan said to Tang Mu very seriously.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your notification at any time. But you must remember to give me an extra 'breakup fee' besides the bonus and commission.

After all, I have not only had credit in these years, but also a lot of hard work..." The chatterbox Tang Mu asked for benefits, and his laughter was constant.

"'Breakup red envelope' is of course no problem, but you are not qualified to say the word 'hard work'. How much you earned by following along, don't you know in your heart?"

"Lin, don't say that, it hurts feelings too much, hehe..."

Film Academy.

With the start of school imminent, whether it is the school level or various secondary departments, all faculty and staff are very busy.

Especially the professors and lecturers who have teaching tasks, as well as the front-line management positions that have to face students directly, these people are particularly busy.

"I say Director Jiang, you don't properly prepare for your directing department's opening ceremony, and you don't properly arrange teaching tasks for the new semester in the office, but you run to our photography department to inquire about the postgraduate enrollment plan at the end of the year. What are you doing? Why, do you have relatives and friends asking you to find a way?"

"That's not right either, aren't you, Old Jiang, the way yourself? I don't believe anyone would give up the directing department's postgraduate studies and run to our photography department?"

"After all, it's not the past anymore. With Lin Dao pressing over there, a fool knows to go to the directing department..." Another associate professor opened his mouth suspiciously.

"That's right, postgraduate studies are different from undergraduate studies. Undergraduate studies are for learning things and techniques, while postgraduate studies are mainly for interpersonal resources! In terms of resources, your directing department is the one..." Echoes were constant.

"Saying it like this, don't you allow others to pick and choose?" Old Jiang smiled and retorted.

"Yo, who has such a big face?"

"Don't worry about these, just tell me who is enrolling students this year?"

"Director Jiang, your question is a bit too much, isn't it? You should be asking who still has quotas in their hands right now!"

One sentence instantly woke Old Jiang up; he had forgotten about this matter.

Although the enrollment work is at the end of the year, in recent years, professors who have enrollment plans have almost promised their quotas several months or even more than half a year in advance.

After all, things like human feelings and connections are everywhere, and the film and entertainment industry has prospered to the extreme, which has led to countless people wanting to enter this industry, especially those with connections...

"Director Jiang, can I ask you about something?"

"You say." Old Jiang responded subconsciously.

"When can the pillar of your directing department start enrolling students? Every year, a large number of people in the circle are probing..."

"Hehe, you don't dare to go directly to Lin Nan to inquire, so you ask me?"

"Lin Dao is elusive, who can talk to him? Not to mention this kind of thing, who dares to speak to him if they are not familiar with him? Just tell me if there is a way?"

"There is really no way!" Old Jiang smiled and spread his hands, then said seriously: "I can clearly tell you that Lin Nan has no enrollment plan.

Even if there is, outsiders cannot be stuffed in, unless you can let Director Tian or our Producer Liu speak."
