Chapter 1132: Waiting for Delivery; Affecting Normal Life Between Husband and Wife!

"China Federation of Radio and Television Associations? Vice Chairman?!"

"That's right. I only heard my dad mention it when I was eating breakfast this morning. He said it was a document issued yesterday morning, asking to officially take office at the beginning of next month.

This makes people admire; Uncle Tong is worthy of being Uncle Tong. He is already over sixty, yet he can still continue to transfer positions, and it is this kind of public institution that has the power of life and death over the industry."

"No problem, it is indeed an institution with the power of life and death! It has 3 internal institutions, 46 professional committees, and as many as 2,000 unit members.

Among the functional scope, just one item, 'participating in the formulation of industry development plans, participating in the formulation and revision of industry-related policies, regulations, and industry standards,' is undoubtedly a Shangfang sword."

Lin Nan couldn't help but exclaim. You know, old subordinates like Han Sanping, Wang Yong, and Ren Zhonglun are all about to retire, but the old leader is still shining and heating up.

"Not only that, there is also the item 'entrusted by the General Administration, undertaking the specific evaluation work of radio and television awards,' which is also a function that the entire TV drama industry fears.

It's just a pity that it only manages awards for the TV drama and radio system, and cannot manage awards for the film system next door. Otherwise, we could still suggest, suggest that Uncle Tong shine his sword before completely retiring, scraping the bone to remove poison, and curing the disease.

After all, although the awards in the TV drama industry are becoming more and more watery, compared with film awards like the Golden Rooster, the gold content is too high. Comparing the moisture between the two together is like... like the comparison between Houhai and the Pacific Ocean, hahaha..."

Han Jia's exaggerated metaphor instantly ignited the laughter in the living room.

She and Watching Shu Chang came over one after another after nine o'clock in the morning, preparing to send Liu Yifei and Lin Nan off together in the afternoon, and by the way, go to see Miss Liu's VIP room in the hospital.

"By the way, how did you arrange it? Are you the only one over there for the few days before delivery?" After laughing, Watching Shu Chang suddenly remembered this question and asked Liu Yifei.

"Lin Nan is accompanying me over there, and my mom drives back and forth every day."

"Yes, I am serving by her side 24 hours a day. Like the celebration banquets for *The Captain* and *My People, My Country*, I have already declined them all."

Lin Nan pushed the last two large suitcases to the wall by the door, and then added with a smile.

"Then, wasn't the security mentioned before arranged?"

"No, we don't want to make such a big scene; it's too eye-catching. And the hospital has quite a lot of security, and it's also very strict; after all, it's a high-end private hospital."

"Fine, whatever you want. But you want to avoid entertainment reporters; that's definitely impossible.

Because when I drove to your house, I found that there were already quite a few media vehicles outside, really waiting for a rabbit."

"That's right, I also found it when I came. These people's noses are simply too sharp." Taking over Han Jia's words, Watching Shu Chang also nodded to Liu Yifei and Lin Nan.

"Let them be. They eat this bowl of rice, and we have no way, right? As long as they don't come up to affect us."

Before Liu Yifei and Lin Nan could speak, Liu Xiaoli was seen walking back from a walk outside, smiling calmly.

She also noticed when she was walking in the manor just now that there were indeed reporters sneaking around outside.

Liu Yifei and Lin Nan completely agreed with this point of view of Liu Xiaoli.

In addition, Lin Nan had already greeted Weibo, limiting the heat of news about him and Miss Liu recently.

Although Weibo also indicated that once the news came out, it would likely be very difficult to suppress, they would try their best;

And they even joked with Lin Nan, saying that Lin Nan underestimated the traffic of himself and Liu Yifei, for which the platform had even prepared for server maintenance.

Because when the time comes, celebrities and stars in the entire film and television circle will definitely move upon hearing the news to send blessings, thereby attracting the attention of countless people on the whole internet, producing huge traffic that cannot be estimated.

In the conference room of Huanxi, the script creation meeting just ended.

"This Bazaar Star Charity Gala, hasn't it closed down yet?"

Dong Ping took the invitation letter handed by the staff, took a glance, and threw it aside with a smile. Instead, Xu Zheng flipped through it with interest, but then it was also a disdainful sound.

Hearing Xu Zheng's mockery, Yan Fei couldn't help but complain:

"The current environment is a film and television winter, plus the tax issues have been checked so strictly over the past year, just ask how many stars dare to be the first bird and show off their wealth?"

"This activity has made quite a few tricks in the past few years. Like the paintings Feng Xiaogang drew with others, the paintings Wang Zhonglei drew, all are transaction prices of millions... It should have closed down early." Ning Hao mocked with a laugh.

"Alright, let's talk about casting. Although the final draft of the script will likely have to wait until the beginning of next year, we can set a casting charter now. We must improve efficiency."

"This is easy to handle; all main actors are internally determined or invited, not casting externally. Supporting roles can be released, and then left for all parties in the circle to compete and audition..." Yu Baimi proposed.

"Hmm, this idea is good. The leads from *My People, My Country* can also be 'copied' over, haha..."

While a few people were discussing and discussing, an assistant walked in quickly and whispered a few words to Xing Aina.

Then Ning the great director was seen signaling to Dong Ping that the two of them had to go back first.

A few minutes later, Xing Aina and Ning Hao, who were sitting in the car, carefully flipped through the entertainment trending searches and headlines that were constantly "disappearing" on the internet:

"This afternoon, Liu Yifei was suspected to have checked into the hospital early to wait for delivery, accompanied by Director Lin Nan and others."

"According to multiple entertainment reporters, a motorcade consisting of three cars, including an RV, drove out of the Shunyi Manor villa at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the destination was indeed a high-end private hospital in the capital..."

"Media called the assistants of Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, but none of them made effective contact..."

"These two actually advanced by 5 days? After you send me home later, you go directly to the hospital to take a look." Ning Hao couldn't help but complain, smiling and instructing Xing Aina.

"Fine, I'll bring some food over. After she gives birth, we'll send a big gift."

Xing Aina naturally nodded, and then asked while meeting: "By the way, after our son was born, what did Lin Nan send us? It's good to return the gift this time."

Hearing this question, Ning the great director covered his face in embarrassment instantly, laughing and scolding: "That guy Lin Nan said I was too vulgar, so he sent gold!"

On the afternoon of the 20th, the entire film and television circle knew that Liu Yifei had checked into the hospital early to wait for delivery.

Following this, Lin the great director was forced to shut down, because he was really a bit overwhelmed.

A large number of phone calls, text messages, and chat messages swarmed in, completely like a rhythm of wanting to drown him. He simply rejected the "concern" of these people outside the door.

Starting from the 21st, as expected before, a large number of entertainment reporters and paparazzi began to squat, and even wanted to fish in troubled waters to mix into the hospital; but without exception, they were all caught.

It was also from this day on that Lin the great director and the producer Liu who was waiting for delivery completely disappeared from everyone's vision. Even acquaintances in the circle couldn't get in touch by phone!

On the 23rd, *The Climbers* officially announced its death, with a total box office stopping at 1.104 billion.

While the daily revenue of *The Captain* fell to 13 million, and *My People, My Country* fell to over 8.2 million... both films were striding toward the end.

It was also on the same day that *Better Days*, which had high traffic and heat, held a grand premiere in Beijing.

It can be foreseen that on the day of its release, it will take at least 40% of the screening rate, which will definitely accelerate the end of the two mainstream films.

"1.1 billion, if this were in an unpopular slot, in normal times, I would definitely hold a lively celebration banquet, because this is a good result. But in this National Day slot, I only feel my face hurts.

Look at *My People, My Country*, this tribute film, it's already 3.1 billion; look at *The Captain*, it also climbed over the 3 billion threshold. The slogan we shouted before was three mainstream films paying tribute together, but Shanghai Film Group, who shouted the slogan, fell behind..."

On the morning of the 24th, after attending the Golden Rooster nomination commendation conference, Ren Zhonglun muttered to Han Sanping again.

He originally wanted to call Lin Nan and make an appointment for a meal to talk about the 100th-anniversary tribute film; but unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch at all.

"Since it has been taken off the screen, don't think about these things anymore.

In these last few months, the only two things you have to do are the 100th-anniversary tribute film, and the mainstream blockbuster that Fu Ruoqing invited Shanghai Film Group to cooperate on. Arrange these two projects, and you can retire with peace of mind."

Han Sanping and Chairman Ren walked shoulder to shoulder toward the outside of the venue, reminding him.

"Sigh, in the blink of an eye, it's been 20 years, I'm really a bit reluctant..."

"Reluctant to give up power? Hehe, you'll get used to it in half a year. By the way, what arrangements did the authorities give you? They wouldn't really let you retire completely, right? Even Wang Yong..."

"That's not the case. Film Association, Shanghai Film Association, Shanghai Film Festival Council, Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles... In short, they want me to go to various non-real-power departments to continue to shine and heat up for the film cause.

I have also thought about it. I can learn from you from time to time and go to be a film producer or something. I don't want to lose my energy so early and waste my body..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of being a figure who has worked hard for Shanghai Film Group, look at how good Shanghai is to you!"

In the hospital, at the door of the warm pink VIP room, Lin Nan was asking the doctor very seriously:

"So it is possible for me to go in and cut the umbilical cord for the child, right?"

"That's right, there is this service. When the time comes, you only need to do a good job of disinfection, wear sterile clothes, and then Mr. Lin can enter the delivery room to cut the umbilical cord for the child in person."

As she spoke, the doctor subconsciously glanced at Liu Yifei who was dozing in the room, and then lowered her voice and said:

"But we don't suggest the male party enter the delivery room to cut the umbilical cord for the child, and this operation must also be agreed by the parturient."

"I understand the point of needing the parturient's consent. But why don't you suggest I go in to cut the umbilical cord?" Lin Nan's brain didn't turn around, and he asked immediately.

"This, mainly..."

"I don't agree, why do you have so many questions?"

Suddenly, Liu Yifei's fierce voice exploded behind Lin Nan.

Her expression was incomparably serious, frowning, her eyes sharp as she warned Lin Nan; the meaning was very clear, refusing to let Lin Nan enter the delivery room.

Because she had asked the doctor the same question two days ago, and the doctor's answer was also not suggesting the male party enter the delivery room and cut the umbilical cord when the female party was giving birth...

As for the reason, it was a bit difficult to speak, because the process of childbirth and the scene afterwards had a very high probability of causing serious psychological shadows to the male party, which would then directly affect the normal life between husband and wife for an uncertain period of time in the future.

Looking at Liu Yifei's determined expression that did not allow rebuttal or questioning, Lin Nan naturally chose to nod and promised gently, "Fine, I'll listen to you."

Looking at the female doctor on the side, she had a calm and pretending-to-be-stupid smile at this moment, giving people a feeling that she knew nothing and heard nothing.
