"That's all for now, you go help me purchase in these two days. Send them over after the 25th and before the 31st."

"Lin Dao, it's not that serious, right?"

On the other end of the phone, although Yue Jun was a bit dismissive, based on the habit of trust in his boss for so many years, his tone of inquiry was still quite serious, and there was no joking tone at all.

"My intuition tells me that the situation this time might not be very good, anyway, better safe than sorry. In addition, you privately notify Director Jiang, let her also take action."

In the study, Lin Nan pinched his brow with his left hand and held his phone with his right hand, he didn't turn on the speakerphone.

"Fine, I'll go notify her, I'll just bring it along for her when I go to purchase. However, although the things are not expensive, Lin Dao, isn't the quantity you want here a bit too much?

I roughly estimated, all the things you want, all the quantities, these added together must be at least seven or eight small box trucks, and even one trip is not enough..."

"Including the elders and the nanny team, there are ten adults at home, and two children, I only think the quantity of these things is far from enough!" Lin Nan emphasized solemnly.

"Fine, who told your house to be a 35-mu manor, with a large space and many warehouses. I will hurry up and handle it, all must be the best." Yue Jun smiled and agreed repeatedly.

"Go rent a car, the drivers and loading personnel are all found from our company, I want to hoard enough reserve quantity to support the daily consumption of the family for several months at one time...

For all employees who come to help, just count it as field work, issue half a month's bonus, no need to go through the company's public account."

"That's absolutely no problem, I estimate they can fight for it." After laughing, Yue Jun suddenly changed the subject and teased Lin Nan again:

"Lin Dao, it is said that the sense of smell of top rich people is relatively sensitive. Tell me the truth, did you hear any wind?"

Hearing this teasing question, Lin Nan didn't laugh; after hesitating for a long while, he chose to nod and answered softly: "Mm, yes."

Sure enough, compared to just now, Yue Jun's momentum changed instantly, his voice was low and unusually serious, "I understand, I will try to be low-key."

Putting down the phone, Lin Nan looked at the calendar on the desk with a solemn expression, it was already the 19th.

Wind? What I heard from grandmother should also count. It's already very serious over there, spreading in groups... It's just that there is no wind on the internet yet.

Speaking of the internet, it seems there is a large-scale controversy on the internet about that 'Ming Dynasty'.

Since this drama started airing three days ago, there have been quite a few good reviews, but there are clearly more bad reviews and scolding.

"Wang Xueqi's Zhu Di is simply amazing, the more I watch, the more I feel that the Yongle Emperor must be like him, it should be like him."

"Having experienced the disaster of explosion and disfigurement, Yu Haoming can be called a transformation through fire, his Han King Zhu Gaoxu this time is simply stunning. That kind of progress in acting is completely a qualitative change visible to the naked eye!"

"I dare to bet that the most exciting part of this drama must be the scenes of this family in the early stage. Five dragons in the same court, this is indeed rare in history!"

"I hope Zhu Yawen's Zhu Zhanji can have some highlights and bright spots, after all, this person is also very powerful in history, but so far in the film and drama, it's just satisfactory..."

"The director of this crew is definitely poisonous, purely malicious smearing and uglification of Zhu Yuanzhang. That kind of makeup that is ugly enough to scare children to cry, he really moved it into the screen."

"That's not a shoe-horn face, in this drama, Zhu Yuanzhang's face is completely a face that collapsed in his later years after multiple surgeries, it's terrifyingly ugly!"

"The screenwriter also has a problem, actually extremely beautifying Empress Sun; in history, this person is not a white lotus at all, historians in the late Ming Dynasty directly defined her as an 'evil empress'."

"I can't see Tang Wei's acting at all, pretending to be young is too abrupt and too stiff. Is it really just to strengthen her as the big heroine, so various magic changes?"

"To say something unpleasant, if this drama deletes Tang Wei, or deletes Tang Wei's scenes on a large scale, the final effect presented will definitely be more brilliant..."

"Hainan Island International Film Festival? And it's officially organized?" Han Jia was a bit dumbfounded.

"That's right, this year is already the second edition. Last year in December, weren't you in the 'Mulan' crew, so I directly pushed the invitation that came, and I didn't go either.

But this year they sent an invitation again and also called, hoping that our father and daughter could take time to attend the awards ceremony. Look at your schedule, do you want to go?"

After Han Sanping explained, he asked. It's just that the answer his daughter gave when she opened her mouth was not an answer, but naked dislike and complaints:

"How many film festivals have been newly organized and how many film awards have been founded in China in the past few years? I can almost not count them.

Just this Golden Coconut Award, this is already the Nth official film award I've heard in the past 3 years that is not a pheasant award but is better than a pheasant award.

Originally, the awards in the mainland are not valuable, and if this kind of 'inflation' continues, then it will be even more devalued, worthless!" It was obvious that Han Jia had a rejecting attitude.

"Whether it's valuable or not, this is not a problem for us to worry about. Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't go, I'll go myself."

After nodding with a smile, Old Han Sanping prepared to go out for a walk. But the next moment, the ringing of the phone stopped his steps and interrupted Han Jia, who wanted to speak.

She was close, and instantly answered the phone. But the next second, she handed it to Old Han Sanping, "Looking for you."

"Who is it?"

Old Han Sanping's expression became more and more solemn, and even his brows were wrinkled together, like a "chuan" character.

"What happened? Why do you have this expression?" After several minutes, seeing Old Han Sanping hang up the phone with a heavy heart, Han Jia hurriedly asked.

"If there is nothing particularly important recently, don't leave the capital. Even if there is such a thing, it's best not to go out." Old Han Sanping instructed Han Jia unquestioningly.

"Then why did you just say you were going to attend the film festival?"

"I'm not going."

"What exactly is going on? Tell me clearly."

"Our father and daughter have to hoard food at home these few days. Let's go, I'll tell you on the way..."

Early the next morning, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan both got up very early, getting out of bed before six o'clock.

Because the former had to go to the Film Academy to take the exam, while the latter had to act as a driver; and the time was indeed quite tight, the exam started at 8:30 in the morning.

The two also planned it, to have lunch directly at school or go out to eat, and after the foreign language exam in the afternoon, go home together.

And while Liu Yifei was taking the exam, Lin Nan would also stay at school. Either go to the editing room to see the post-production of 'The Anger of the Sea', or go to the director department to sit.

Speaking of which, the winter vacation is also coming soon, the New Year's welfare for faculty and staff should already be being prepared, and Lin Nan also plans to ask what it is this year.

If there are things like down jackets, he can ask for another one. Of course, there are also fruits and those, he can also help Liu Yifei mooch a share.

Just past six o'clock, the white BMW drove out of the manor villa.

Today Liu Yifei is pure bare-faced, long hair draped over her shoulders paired with a down jacket, wearing black-framed flat glasses and an N95 mask... focusing on listening to advice, trying to be low-key and not attract onlookers.

Because they took the highway, they didn't have a traffic jam, and in just one hour, they successfully arrived at the Film Academy.

Sure enough, the entrance was already a scene of a sea of people and heavy traffic, blocked severely.

The entire security department was outside maintaining order, except for faculty and students of the school, no one was allowed to enter for the time being.

Of course, several large standing signs were also placed at the entrance, which were the school floor plan and the distribution of examination rooms.

Lin Nan's car slowly moved to the entrance and lowered his window. This car was not registered, so it would not be automatically identified and allowed to enter.

"Lin Dao?" The security department personnel hurriedly let his colleagues let them through.

"Are the candidates waiting outside all art-related? Or are there other subjects?" Lin Nan was not in a hurry, leisurely inquiring.

"Those who can come to our school to take the exam are basically applying for art schools and related majors."

"Understood, thank you."

After nodding, Lin Nan drove straight into the school. And the crowd of candidates outside was watching and discussing.

Not long after, after parking the car, the fully armed two walked inside the school.

Liu Yifei looked at the sky that hadn't brightened yet, and asked: "They should all be eating breakfast at this moment, right?"

"Mm, it's about this time. Why, do you want to eat something more? Taking advantage of the fact that the candidates haven't come in yet, taking advantage of the fact that there are not many people in the school at this moment, if you want to go to the canteen, then hurry up."

"Let's go, I want to drink something hot." Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately pulled Lin Nan toward the small canteen.

"Soy milk, milk, milk tea, or coffee?"

"To refresh, coffee."

Old Jiang was startled, because he had just left the canteen and bumped into Lin Nan and Liu Yifei when he looked up. The key was that these two were wrapped tightly, deliberately scaring him off guard.

After scolding him unpleasantly, he waited opposite the canteen until Lin Nan and Liu Yifei came out with a cup of coffee each. Mm, not bad, they even brought him one.

"I'm really convinced by you, asking these as soon as you come. What else can the school issue? Rice, flour, oil, a few boxes of fruit, shopping cards, these are the old ways.

In addition, there are customized down jackets, windbreakers, and suitcases, which are the same as previous years, all with the school badge. If Yifei wants them, register at my place in a while."

"This is so embarrassing, then let's still have the pink one." Liu Yifei smiled and acted coquettishly, but she didn't refuse in her mouth. Lin Nan also nodded straight, all things must be double copies.

"Hehe, you two are a perfect match, singing in harmony! You're already that rich, and you're still thinking about taking advantage of the school..."

Old Jiang rolled his eyes at the two with dislike, and then he muttered and instructed Lin Nan and Liu Yifei:

"When entering the examination room in a while, let Yifei go alone, don't send her.

Yifei is already very eye-catching when she is alone, and you two walking together is even more eye-catching, the recognition is directly full!"

"Understood."

"I understand, thank you Teacher Jiang for the reminder."

In the office of the director department, the three drank coffee and chatted for more than half an hour.

At 7:50, Liu Yifei left the director department alone. She had to go to the outside of the examination room to queue up, and later there would be invigilators checking identities one by one.

And Lin Nan went to the editing room leisurely after all candidates started the exam at 8:30, Cao Baoping had been busy with post-production there these days.

Outside, new film and television information followed one after another on the entertainment hot search.

'Frozen 2' was taken off the screen, with a total box office of 860 million. Happy Mahua's 'Half a Comedy' took over today, but the comprehensive screening rate was only a mere 6%.

Golden Bear director Diao Yinan's 'The Wild Goose Lake' struggled for two weeks, but eventually could not escape the fate of dying young in advance;

Its daily box office had completely fallen below 10,000, the total box office was fixed at 182 million, and it was factually taken off the screen by the cinema line.

As of now, the most powerful film in the New Year's slot is still 'Sheep Without a Shepherd', and only 'Sheep Without a Shepherd'.

By the evening of the 19th, the total box office of 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' had officially exceeded 1.2 billion, and the daily revenue was still 15.13 million. Undoubtedly, it can still rush to 1.3 billion, and it is a sure thing!

Enlighten Media.

Wang Changtian just got a piece of news, just this morning, Tudou, Youku, iQIYI, and several platforms joined together and sued the platform on the ByteDance side with a paper lawsuit.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, because the latter's piracy behavior is too unscrupulous. Just openly carrying, and tacitly encouraging the creators under its banner to carry, edit, and create secondarily...

"It is impossible for this kind of thing to have a perfect result, because the giants who play for free are almost invincible and unsolvable in the early stage.

Their attitude is very clear: you sue if you want, I'll pay as much as you want, no two words. But if you want me to stop, that's absolutely impossible; if you want me to pay high copyright authorization fees, that's even more impossible!"

"Lin Dao should know about this, right?"

"Wang Wei said, he mentioned it to Lin Nan some time ago, and Lin Nan respects his decision. Currently, it can only be like this, who told the rules to be neither sound nor strict."

While speaking, Wang Changtian also handed the signed document to Li Xiaoping, "The box office share of 'The Captain' can be paid to Lin Nan Film Industry, Shanghai Film Group, and Xi'an Film Studio."

"Okay, Wang Dong. But should we also pay the share of 'The Whistleblower' to Lin Nan Film Industry by the way? After all, it's only 20 million."

"You reminded me. Fine, pay it for them together. Thinking of this box office result, I want to laugh. How many years have they not had this kind of unclassy share? Haha..."

Wang Changtian joked with a smile. The next second, his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door of the office. Li Xiaoping also turned to look.

"What's the matter?" Wang Changtian asked.

"Wang Dong, Director Li, the people from the insurance company are here." The employee answered Wang Changtian, but his eyes were cast toward Li Xiaoping.

"Looking for you?" Wang Changtian naturally noticed it at the first moment.

"Mm, I made an appointment several times before, so I just gave a time." Li Xiaoping remembered some things, and couldn't stop laughing for a while.

"People from the insurance company found our company? I don't remember we have any business that needs it?"

"Wang Dong, you forgot, didn't the insurance industry say they were going to issue an 'Artist Scandal Insurance' before? They really made it out now, and are currently starting to promote it door-to-door in our film and television entertainment industry.

Our group is a production giant in the industry, naturally it is their potential big client! This is not, they wanted to meet with me, the vice president in charge of the production department, again and again.

By the way, you are also here today, do you want to listen together?" Li Xiaoping instigated Wang Changtian. Don't say, Chairman Wang is indeed a bit interested.

"Fine, just call them here. I'll also listen to what the specific insurance clauses of this 'Artist Scandal Insurance' are, is it worth buying? Hahaha."

On the 20th, Liu Yifei took the foreign language and art theory foundation exam. On the 21st, she participated in the professional course exam of the art category, which was also the last one.

And while Liu Yifei was taking the exam, Lin Nan was still in the school's editing room.

However, unlike the first day, when the two only discussed the editing details of 'The Anger of the Sea'; on this second day, Cao Baoping finally couldn't help but reveal a bit of worry to Lin Nan.

'One Second', 'Under the Light', 'The Whistleblower', three consecutive realistic theme films were blocked, banned, and deleted on a large scale, making Cao Baoping very anxious, he was worried that 'The Anger of the Sea' would also not escape the disaster!

Regarding this, Lin Nan could only comfort him, telling him to finish the post-production editing first. As for how to review it later, that's later. Let soldiers come to block, water come to cover.

Starting from the 22nd, wind and waves gradually rose on the internet, and the number of people paying attention and discussing suddenly increased.

The 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th... another few days passed in a hurry, it completely spread on the internet, the whole internet was paying attention, discussing, and the voices were getting more and more...

Because it was really impossible to suppress, and there was no way to suppress it anymore... After all, countless people were arguing: this doesn't look like an ordinary one?

"No need to wait for the last three days, just notify them at this moment. Let them prepare for the holiday in advance, those whose hometowns are in other provinces can buy tickets to go back in advance.

The previous statement of allowing voluntary overtime and double daily salary is cancelled, during the holiday, the whole building will be powered off, watered off, and locked..."

On the morning of the 27th, Lin Nan called Yue Jun, his tone was decisive and could not be refuted.

"Understood, I will let people issue the notice later."

Near 11:00 in the morning, Lin Nan Film Industry parachuted onto the headlines of the entire internet, directly dominating the Weibo hot search list.

It became the focus of countless workers in all walks of life and the entire internet in a cross-industry way, the praise and flattery were overwhelming; of course, there were also sour voices!

"Around 10:30 in the morning, Lin Nan Film Industry issued a Spring Festival holiday notice internally, the wording was humorous and witty, and the welfare was full:

Because Lin Nan Film Industry, Tiangong Color, Shiyue Culture, Shanhai Media (including the four cooperative artist studios) have made a lot of profit this year (tax has been paid), the main reason is because the boss upgraded to be a stay-at-home dad, and it's twins...

So under the joint suggestion of a group of management, the boss finally decided to issue the Spring Festival welfare as follows (here we must also sincerely thank the boss's wife, Ms. Liu Yifei, for her help):

All employees belonging to the four companies of Lin Nan Film Industry, Tiangong Color, Shiyue Culture, and Shanhai Media will start the Spring Festival annual leave from New Year's Day on January 1st, and officially go to work on the 10th day of the first lunar month on February 3rd.

This Spring Festival holiday is a total of 33 days, with full salary treatment for everyone. Because no annual meeting was held, the year-end bonus will be an additional month's salary, which will be uniformly credited before 6:00 PM on the 31st of this month..."

"It is reported that the Spring Festival holiday notice of Lin Nan Film Industry first appeared on multiple personal social accounts; to determine the accuracy of the information, the media specially called the executive and director of Lin Nan Film Industry, Yue Jun, and received a positive reply: it is indeed the company's internal holiday notice!"

Undoubtedly, the Spring Festival holiday notice of Lin Nan Film Industry can be said to have been directly pushed to the forefront of the entire internet.

The welfare treatment is really too good, so that countless workers are jealous.

As a result, massive amounts of Weibo private messages poured into the accounts of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei like a broken dam, and even directly flooded the official Weibo of Lin Nan Film Industry... all were inquiring about recruitment matters and job hunting.

But unfortunately, the company had long ago started only conducting campus recruitment and not social recruitment!

Of course, there are also a large number of voices "accusing" Lin Nan Film Industry, especially "scolding" Lin Nan, the boss:

According to another well-known industrial entrepreneur, the welfare treatment is too good, which is not conducive to the struggle of employees, and also seriously damages the ecology of the market, affecting the healthy development of the industry...
