Chapter 1137

Sure enough, even after having children, Liu Yifei was still the same Liu Yifei.

From the first night back home, she started sleeping in beautifully.

Almost every day she slept until she woke up naturally, waking up around 10:00 to 11:00 AM.

She maintained this state for a full week before it ended. In her joking words: she finally completely recovered from all the mental exhaustion of the past ten months.

And during these days, Lin Nan also didn't step out of the house, wholeheartedly taking care of the children at home, tireless and happy.

The sister and brother were awake for longer and longer periods, always opening a pair of watery big eyes that seemed to hide the entire sea of stars, looking and listening as they rolled around……

From time to time, they would even reveal a smile, as if responding to everything in the outside world, even if they could only focus on things and colors within thirty centimeters in front of them.

And at the same time, the industry was also quite lively during these seven days.

"Like Flowing River 2," co-produced by Lin Nan Film and Daylight Entertainment and produced by Daylight Entertainment, high-profile started filming on the morning of the 11th.

The Disney animation big IP "Frozen 2" also air-dropped and set its release date for the 22nd of this month on the 12th;

That mainstream tribute film "1921," controlled by Shanghai Film Group and co-invested by 3D Film, officially announced its project establishment on the noon of the 14th;

As for its casting work, it seems it will have to wait until April or May of next year to officially begin.

But those in the circle who know, know; only fools would just wait for the official casting in the first half of next year, smart people all take action in advance.

Although there is a lot of new film and television information in the circle, it is basically the same old stuff, not much difference, at most it can only maintain high heat for the day;

Only one gossip piece is an exception; it dominated the hot search for several days, and it is still continuing right now, seemingly the biggest joke in the entire entertainment industry and the whole internet—the Bazaar Star Charity Night.

Last year, because of the Fan Bingbing incident, a series of chain reactions led to a direct plunge in the total amount of funds raised for the Bazaar Star Charity Night, falling from 102.79 million the year before to 30.89 million;

And this year it was even worse; firstly, tax issues are still under high-pressure investigation, and secondly, it has indeed fully entered the film and television winter……

Therefore, the first-tier celebrities all chose to lie low, and the second-tier celebrities were really too stingy…… so much so that the total amount of donations raised fell by another 20%, to just over 24 million.

Those with sharp eyes in the industry can see that this so-called star charity night will only be ignored more and more in the future. Because stars' money is not easy to earn, and there is no benefit to donating……

Don't say it, the organizer Bazaar was also straightforward, directly announcing the "closure announcement" the day after the charity night; they won't hold it anymore!

As for the reason, Bazaar said it quite grandly.

But the real reason is known to everyone in the circle; it's completely because the star charity night has no future at all. The first-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry don't care about this dinner, so what else is there to play? Nothing left to play!

"Now, those in the industry who are keen on charity and willing to donate money and goods first choose the Love Foundation established by Han Hong.

In terms of credibility, she can definitely rank in the top three domestically. After all, the Red Cross never discloses, while she discloses every time……"

After hanging up Han Hong's call, Lin Nan teased Liu Yifei.

The former called to specifically thank them for the 6 million yuan donation; in addition, she also informed Lin Nan that staff would send the donation certificates and receipts within two days.

This money will also appear in the disclosure information for the fourth quarter of this year, and the subsequent whereabouts will also be sent to Lin Nan in detail and disclosed on the official website.

"Indeed, just on the point of disclosing details, it beats 99% of charity foundations and organizations in the country." Closing the book in her hand, Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.

She has an exam on the 20th of next month; although she is confident, she still thinks it's better to look at the study guide temporarily, striving for nothing to go wrong.

And she also doesn't want to just pass the passing line when there is policy preferential treatment; she wants a good score.

"But it is precisely because of this that her Love Foundation is always being targeted." Lin Nan smiled meaningfully.

Just at this moment, Liu Xiaoli also came out from the baby room, her face full of smiles.

"Mom, I thought you were going to live inside. They don't need much worry except for eating and sleeping." Liu Yifei looked over and teased with a smile.

"Do you think I'm as big-hearted as you? You can actually still calm down and read at this time!"

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at her daughter. Although the two nannies were taking good care of them, she was just willing to stay on the side more; between generations, it's always closer.

"Why can't I calm down? When I was urged to give birth, it was all agreed that Lin Nan and I are only responsible for giving birth, and the matter of raising children is fully handed over to you. Hehe, did you forget?"

"I think you're also asking for a beating." Liu Xiaoli was immediately amused. Lin Nan avoided to the side, not getting involved.

After criticizing the giggling Liu Yifei a few times, Liu Xiaoli talked about the airport pickup.

Liu Qianqian's grandmother and the others will land at Capital Airport at noon on the 18th, the day after tomorrow; at that time, Liu Yifei definitely cannot go out, so Lin Nan will have to go to the airport with his mother-in-law.

In addition, Watching Watching Lao Lin Tou will arrive at noon on the 19th, and he will have to go to the airport again then.

Speaking of his father's operation this time, it was also the first time Lin Nan saw him being so generous.

He gave the restaurant staff a direct annual leave, from November 20th to February 9th (the sixteenth day of the first lunar month), more than two and a half months, with full pay.

That's right, Watching Watching Lao Lin Tou is finally going to have a good Chinese New Year in the capital!

On the other side, Huanxi Media.

"Officially opening on the 19th, holding the closing red carpet and awards ceremony on the 23rd, there are only 8 days left. It clearly has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved, but I still have to waste two plane tickets!"

"Didn't Lin Nan say long ago to treat this trip as a work task assigned by the authorities? Eh, by the way, have you booked your ticket?" Xing Aina asked with a suppressed smile.

"Booked, Lin Nan Film helped me buy it together; I'm departing and returning with Lin Nan. And it's planned for one person to go, without an accompanying assistant."

Hearing this, Xing Aina was instantly stunned, and Xu Zheng on the side was so shocked that he blurted out: "Are you two crazy?"

Ning Hao spread his hands and joked: "I also think it's a bit crazy, but that's how it is. Arriving on the afternoon of the 23rd, returning on the afternoon of the 23rd……"

"Stop talking, we didn't hear anything. Let's hurry up and decide on the core actors according to the script outline, and send invitations in advance…… to avoid accidents in the schedule……" Dong Ping hurriedly interrupted Ning Hao, a speechless smile on his face.

"What's the rush? Deng Chao and Yu Bai Mei, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, and Han Jia Nu, they haven't arrived yet."

"Xu Zheng and I are afraid of hearing things we shouldn't hear, afraid we won't be able to control our mouths and let it slip, hahaha……"

……

On the 16th, as a massive number of celebrities confirmed their Golden Rooster Award itinerary one after another, the news heat related to the red carpet and awards ceremony surged; the traffic was so large that it directly rushed to the hot search list.

In addition, it must be admitted that this year's Golden Rooster, which was named by the leaders, has indeed received some different eyes from the film circle compared to previous years.

Many nominated crews and actors and filmmakers nominated for individual awards were almost all more or less full of some sincere expectations for this year's Golden Rooster, looking forward to receiving fair award treatment this year.

I have to say, this mentality is really ironic. As for who it is ironic to, that is hard to say.

On the 17th, Liu Yifei tried again, but the final result made her accept her fate. Let alone the sister and brother, she couldn't even feed one of them, at most 60%.

On the morning of the 18th, two drivers drove business cars to pick up Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli to the airport, and successfully picked up the people just past 11:00 AM.

Hmm, during the Chinese New Year this year, the manor villa will definitely be very lively, because the two elders are also going to stay for the New Year.

This idea was proposed by Lin Nan, and the specific invitation work was handled by Liu Qianqian.

And the actual result also proved the "strength" of Miss Liu right now; she easily handled it with just one phone call.

On the morning of the 19th, Watching Watching Lao Lin Tou also successfully arrived in the capital. His high-spirited state was no less than when he first came to the capital to see Lin Nan.

Of course, he was still carrying a large bag of his own homemade beef jerky this time.

However, unlike the messy packaging when he first gave it to his "future daughter-in-law," he specifically used vacuum packaging this time.

And the suitcase containing more than twenty catties of air-dried beef, it seems to be a Louis Vuitton?

When Watching Watching Lao Lin Tou sat in the car and Lin Nan drove into the main road, he asked his father about the suitcase; logically, Watching Watching Lao Lin Tou shouldn't know these things.

"The news of your discharge was everywhere on the internet, and then Xi'an Film Studio came to see me; I was just about to go buy a suitcase…… and because I received them, I didn't go.

As a result, only an hour later, their staff brought this suitcase back. I really didn't want it, but Director Zhang said they could get reimbursed after going back, and then they just threw it into our house……"

Fine, Lin Nan, who was driving, had a direct headache. But let it be, "The Wandering Earth" has already earned several hundred million for Xi'an Film Studio!

At noon, the manor was already like the Chinese New Year; Liu Xiaoli even specifically called the hotel to call the chef team……

From today on, the house will be completely lively. And the thirty-plus mu manor is definitely more spacious than the two old homes, more suitable for retirement, and the villa is not short of rooms……

Xiamen.

Wang Changtian, who had just left the T3 terminal of Gaoqi Airport, saw the news on the hot search, and then couldn't help but smile:

"Picking up people at the airport for two consecutive days, it seems that the elders of Lin Nan and Yifei's hometown have all arrived!"

"Calculating the time, the elders of both sides should indeed have come. And looking at this, it is estimated that they will spend the Chinese New Year together in the capital this year."

After sitting in the car, Li Xiaoping said very firmly. Then she suddenly thought of something and smiled: "The media here at the Golden Rooster are all waiting for Lin Dao; at that time, there is a high probability that they will be surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside!"

"You're overthinking it; the reporters are also daydreaming." Wang Changtian retorted bluntly. "By the way, tell the people below to pick up Lin Nan and Ning Hao at the airport on the afternoon of the 23rd."

"What?" At this moment, Li Xiaoping thought she had heard wrong.

"I said, let the people below come to the airport to pick up people before 3:00 PM on the 23rd!"

"Lin Dao and Director Ning arrive at this time? But the red carpet…… didn't it start after 4:00?" After confirming she hadn't heard wrong, Li Xiaoping was directly stunned and speechless.

……

Time came to the morning of the 20th, and the New Year release period officially began its countdown.

Of course, the 23rd's "The Whistleblower" is not counted in the New Year release films, it can only be considered as barely mooching the traffic of the New Year release period.

At 9:00 AM, on the third floor of Lin Nan Film, in the large conference room.

There were quite a few people sitting, but the most important ones were only six, namely Lin Nan, Yue Jun, Jiang Xuerou, and the team leaders of the three research companies.

Looking at the three paper reports in front of him that were at least two centimeters thick and hardcover like books, Lin Nan didn't really want to open them.

Likely seeing the meaning behind that trace of speechless smile on Lin Nan's face, Yue Jun spoke very naturally:

"Lin Dao, you are very happy taking care of children at home these days, right? Unlike me and Director Jiang, who have to read these three research reports from beginning to end.

Overall, the similarity of the research results of the three companies is over 96%, which also means that the content of the three reports is indeed very close to the real data."

Following Yue Jun's introduction, the team members of the three research companies all revealed relieved smiles. Since the second-in-command of Lin Nan Film had nodded, it meant the final payment was no problem!

"Actually, the most valuable part of this research project should be the 'suggestions' they gave based on their respective research results." Jiang Xuerou added at the right time.

"Fine, then let's listen to the suggestions directly." Lin Nan looked at the teams of the three companies opposite.

"Let us go first……" Among the team leaders of the three companies, the only woman volunteered.

"Okay." Lin Nan nodded.

"Lin Dao, Director Yue, Director Jiang, the suggestions given by our company come from the objective inevitability brought about by social development trends.

In our view, the construction of cinema chains or the site selection and construction of cinemas must also consider the issue of 'population migration' to a certain extent……"

In an instant, Lin Nan couldn't help but become serious.

"In the future, the cost of living for young people in first-tier cities will only get higher and higher, and the pressure of survival will get greater and greater; this is to a certain extent driving away the young population……

And the country's direction is always to support the development of economically backward cities…… hoping for comprehensive blooming…… and the key point is talent, in infrastructure…… to summarize, it is to let cities that need development retain the population, especially young people……

We suggest that Shanhai Cinema Chain can increase investment in third- and fourth-tier cities when laying out construction, especially in densely populated third- and fourth-tier cities, and significantly increase the number of cinemas…… This part, it is best to account for 40% or even more than 50% of all cinemas and screen numbers under the cinema chain……"

The more than half an hour of eloquent talk ended, and Lin Nan, Yue Jun, and Jiang Xuerou all approved of the other party's analysis and suggestions. This 6 million project fee was well spent.

The team leader of the second company followed closely, also full of confidence.

"Actually, our team's suggestions are similar to what this beautiful peer just said, but our company's entry point is different from theirs; we have made some analysis from the economic level:

Our current pillar industries cannot do without real estate, and the bubble in this industry is already very serious; sooner or later, problems will inevitably arise…… And once problems arise, it will inevitably lead to a series of serious consequences……

Of course, we only talk about one of the consequences, which is that there may be a serious 'consumption downgrade,' because all the money is in the houses……

And densely populated third- and fourth-tier cities will definitely become the main force of consumption after 'consumption downgrade,' because the prices are relatively lower……

And now a large number of young people are shouting about lying flat, shouting about being tired, and the new generation is even more tired of the involution in big cities…… We believe that third- and fourth-tier cities will become the destination for a large number of young people in the future…… And these cities are also the main force of development in the future……"

……

Until just past 11:00 AM, the suggestions after the research of the three companies were all reported.

Without exception, they all suggested that Shanhai Media improve its layout in third- and fourth-tier cities, with people (population) as the foundation;

On the other hand, there are too many entertainment projects in first-tier cities, and young people in first-tier cities generally work overtime, are involuted, and are tired…… the consumption potential in terms of film has almost reached the top;

And the number of cinema chains in first-tier cities is also the largest, and the competition is very, very fierce, so new cinema chains are simply not suitable for investing in too many cinemas in first-tier cities…… Of course, except for acquiring existing cinemas!

"Lin Dao, Director Yue, Director Jiang, we believe that in the planning of Shanhai Cinema Chain, it is best not to exceed 40% of the total planning of the cinema chain for the layout of cinemas in first-tier cities…… 30% is the most appropriate."

"That's right, the focus should be on densely populated third- and fourth-tier cities, followed by densely populated second-tier cities……"

When it was past 11:30, the door of the conference room opened.

Lin Nan had no intention of treating them to a meal, and the teams of the three companies also very consciously said goodbye.

"Lin Nan Film will transfer the final payment of 3 million for each company on time before 6:00 PM tomorrow; remember to check."

Yue Jun smiled and gave the news that a group of people most wanted to hear. Sure enough, the successive sounds of thanks and polite words instantly rushed toward them, and they also looked forward to providing services for Lin Nan Film again in the future.

Not long after, after sending off a group of people, Yue Jun and Jiang Xuerou followed Lin Nan to the office.

"The cinema chain license should be coming down soon." Lin Nan muttered.

"Lin Dao, let me have a relaxing year first; we can expand our territory after the year." Yue Jun said with a smile, which also made Jiang Xuerou unable to help but smile and shake her head repeatedly.

Just at this moment, Lin Nan suddenly looked at Jiang Xuerou again.

"Lin Dao, it wouldn't be that there is still something for me, right?"

Seeing the other party react quite quickly, Lin Nan nodded directly and said meaningfully with a smile: "Having cooperated with Wanda for so many years, it seems I still don't know the specific distribution of Wanda Cinema Chain across the country?"

In just an instant, Yue Jun and Jiang Xuerou returned to a serious and stern appearance; both of them naturally understood what their boss meant.

"Director Jiang, go and inquire about the distribution of Wanda Cinema Chain across the country in private; don't let others notice."

"Understood." Jiang Xuerou nodded solemnly.

"Lin Dao, although I don't know the specific distribution data of Wanda Cinema Chain, we are definitely not suitable to eat it all, because a considerable number of cinema locations simply do not meet our requirements." Yue Jun reminded.

"I never thought of eating it all in one go? Isn't there still Enlight Media?"
