Liu Yifei easily persuaded Liu Xiaoli.

The latter will play the female lead's mother in the movie "The Fault in Our Stars".

For acting in a movie for the second time, Liu Xiaoli had some scruples at first.

But thinking that she was acting as her daughter's mother in the movie, she was relieved.

"Lin Nan, I'll leave it to you then, if there's anything I don't act well, just say it directly..."

"Auntie don't worry so much, act naturally, I believe the effect will definitely not be bad."

Lin Nan comforted.

He couldn't say: Okay, if there's any mistake, I'll point it out directly.

Yue Jun had already taken people to step on the spots at various filming locations in advance to prepare for the start.

……

Since the project of "Pacific Rim" was established, two full months have passed.

The preparation team of hundreds of people had already done all the preparation work before the start.

Lin Nan met with Wanda's team at China Film.

The conference room was full of people.

Led by Han Sanping, Lin Nan, and Ye Ning, the three represented the three investors.

There was also a group of Chinese creators, Guo Fan, Zhang Yi, Miss Jing Tian Tian, and many Beijing Film Studio actors.

"'Pacific Rim' is a big-budget co-production, I hope everyone won't be slack."

Han Sanping sat in the main seat and said to everyone.

"This time it will start in Shanghai, and the filming duration will not exceed two months.

After that, it will transfer to Warner's large studio, the duration is still two months, and the total filming cycle will not exceed 4 months."

Lin Nan stated the specific filming arrangements, and saw many people below starting to whisper.

Zhang Yi and Miss Jing Tian Tian looked very energetic, obviously looking forward to it for a long time.

Guo Fan was the same, but he went with the purpose of learning.

The morning meeting at China Film was considered a mobilization before the start of "Pacific Rim".

At noon, major portals and news websites reported the news one after another.

"The movie 'Pacific Rim' will start in Shanghai, and then transfer to Hollywood..."

"The Chinese lead team will depart this afternoon."

…………

The mainland film market, because of the entry of the financial industry, has seen domestic blockbusters established one after another.

On the Hong Kong side, after such a long brewing, there has also been action.

The 3D movie project "The Monkey King" with an investment of 500 million released makeup photos to the outside world.

The cast can be said to be very luxurious, Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, Peter Ho...

But with this investment scale, it will be very difficult to recover the cost.

Lin Nan looked at Donnie Yen's Monkey King makeup photo.

Before participating in "Ip Man", he was almost cold.

Two "Ip Man" movies made this guy rise in status like a rocket.

The flop of "Legend of the Fist" was not enough to beat him back to his original shape.

It depends on the performance of several movies like "The Lost Bladesman" later; if he can't carry the box office, he will still be cold...

Lin Nan looked at the box office of "Thieves", and couldn't estimate where the final data of this movie could go.

The key is that it's the fourth week, but there is still over 10 million daily revenue.

If the time is up and it's taken off the screen, how uncomfortable it would be.

"Run to China Film..."

When Lin Nan talked to Han Sanping about whether he could apply for an extension key, the latter shook his head helplessly.

"Why? Why can't I apply for this thing?

Didn't 'Aftershock' have ten more days? 'Thieves' just needs one week."

Lin Nan spread his hands, looking like his requirements weren't high.

Han Sanping had a wry smile on his face, "You thought only you thought of it, I went to find someone three days ago."

"And then?"

"No then, off the screen on time."

"Why?"

"Above said 'Aftershock' was a special situation, 'Thieves' will be forgotten this time...

Don't have any opinions, China Film also has a 30% share, I can only recognize it.

The meaning of the bureau is to leave some soup for other movies; if two movies do this consecutively, other movies really won't be able to live."

Since it was said to this point, Lin Nan had nothing to say.

Think about it, when he complained about "Aftershock" before, it turned out that when it was his turn, he also made this mistake.

"Let it be, off the screen on time is off the screen on time..."

……

Not only Lin Nan, Han Sanping, and Ye Ning felt it was a pity.

Many film companies in the circle also felt sorry for the situation of "Thieves".

Obviously the public screening time is almost up, but the daily box office is still very gratifying.

Many movies that have only been released for a few days don't have as much daily box office as "Thieves" which is about to be taken off the screen.

Time came to the 28th.

Counting September 30th, after four full weeks, a full 28 days of public screening, the box office of "Thieves" rushed to 855 million.

Only 4 days left until the end of the 31st of the month.

Countless filmmakers and production companies were nervously watching the data of "Thieves".

This movie of Lin Nan is already an uncrowned king.

But everyone is still looking forward to something.

The circle is messy, everyone is discussing whether it can break 900 million.

For the number 900 million, Lin Nan is also a bit uneasy.

"Here, freshly brewed green tea."

Liu Yifei handed the cup over.

Lin Nan glanced at Liu's long black hair, honestly, he was really a bit reluctant.

Perhaps sensing her boyfriend's thoughts, Liu Yifei smiled.

"Anyway, it will grow back in a few months after cutting it, it's not shaving a bald head, I don't care, you are reluctant."

She said so, but the smile on her face didn't stop. It can be seen that Lin Nan's care made Liu very happy.

The movie "The Fault in Our Stars", the female lead is a cancer patient.

The style is short hair to the ears, because she carries an oxygen device at any time, long hair is definitely unreasonable.

Liu Yifei's current long hair can hang below her shoulders, which doesn't meet the requirements, so it has to be cut.

"By the way, the supporting roles and cameo actors I found this time are all acquaintances."

Lin Nan sold a pass.

"Hmph hmph, I'm too lazy to guess, when it starts filming, I'll naturally know."

…………

Tiangong Color sent the group of special effects personnel who participated in the filming of "Painted Skin" before to the "The Sorcerer and the White Snake" crew.

When Lin Nan returned to the company, he heard Yue Jun start complaining.

"I have never seen anyone who can show off so much.

There are quite a few movie company bosses who come to visit Tiangong Color, but none of them are like him.

A stretched Lincoln, equipped with eight bodyguards, for fear that others won't see this battle."

Hearing this, Lin Nan knew who Yue Jun was talking about.

It must be that Yang Zai.

"It's quite a big battle, rare."

"Just this, signing a contract and shouting to see you."

"What is he doing seeing me?" Lin Nan was a bit curious.

"Filming, investment cooperation, three sentences don't leave 'Thieves'..."

Yue Jun said, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"That's a bit whimsical."

Generally, outsiders entering the film production field, thinking they have some money, are mostly this kind of arrogant look, and after being pitted for a few years, they become honest.

As time gets closer to the 31st, the box office of "Thieves" is also approaching the 900 million mark step by step.

……

……

"Finally over."

"Finally managed to boil 'Thieves' off the screen, if it doesn't go off, other movies really won't have a way to live..."

Time came to November 1st.

Lin Nan Film Industry, China Film, and Wanda, three companies issued an announcement at the same time.

"Celebrate the final box office of 'Thieves' at 901 million, domestic films officially enter the 900 million box office era."

"The number of viewers in South Korea has reached 9.88 million, roughly about 460 million domestic currency."

"Showbox intends to buy out the copyright of 'Thieves' in South Korea..."

……

"Director Lin, you are awesome!" Zhou Xun never touches the edge of a lady.

Andy Lau and other leads forwarded the announcement of Lin Nan Film Industry one after another.

Since then, they are all leads of a 900 million box office movie! "Thieves" will become their representative work.

In the circle, those who are familiar, those who are not, those who know, those who don't, all posted congratulatory messages on Weibo.

For a time, Lin Nan's circle of friends seemed to have expanded dozens of times, which is very realistic.

"I will let them follow the revenue sharing closely, including docking with South Korea.

This project of 'Thieves' can be considered to have won me a fierce breath..."

When Han Sanping called, his emotions were very excited.

……

Although "Thieves" is off the screen, the movies of Lin Nan Film Industry haven't finished screening yet.

Xue Xiaolu came to the company as promised.

"Still have to congratulate you in person, Director Lin."

"Director Xue is joking, we don't need to be so polite."

After two polite sentences, it was serious business.

"Whether it's promotion or premieres for 'Love is Not Blind', I won't participate, I have to tell Director Xue in advance about this."

Lin Nan had already instructed Yue Jun, and the latter would cooperate with Xue Xiaolu to complete the premiere of "Thirty-Three Days". As for promotion, Enlight Media would be responsible.

"I know, your 'The Fault in Our Stars' is about to start filming, right?" Xue Xiaolu asked with a smile.

"Yes, it starts in two days, I won't pay attention to anything else during filming, including company affairs."

Lin Nan said very absolutely.

"Very good, you and Yifei be well. It's not easy to walk out of school, we all favor you two."

"Thanks Director Xue."

…………

The industry hadn't been happy for forty-eight hours before they saw the promotion of "Love is Not Blind".

"Produced by Lin Nan Film Industry, directed by Director Xue Xiaolu, 'Love is Not Blind' will be officially released on November 11th!"

This simply doesn't let people live!

Count it, starting from "Ip Man 2" in April, movies related to Lin Nan Film Industry and Lin Nan haven't lost money.

For a time, the movies in November were like facing a great enemy again.

Liu Yifei's Weibo updated.

"My new hairstyle!"

Liu, with short hair to the ears, looks even more youthful and beautiful.

Attracting a large number of onlookers, likes, and comments from stars, fans, or ordinary netizens in the circle.

At the same time, Lin Nan Film Industry released a set of two makeup photos for "Stars".

One is Liu Yifei's.

Short hair to the ears, wearing a white T-shirt and casual jacket, looking simple and clean.

Only the face is pale and haggard, barely showing a smile, with an oxygen tube in the nose, looking weak...

The other is Lin Nan's.

Looking at it as a whole, it's no different from ordinary people, but looking down, you will notice the right lower leg is a prosthetic limb...

"Female lead, thyroid cancer, spread to the lungs..."

"Male lead, bone cancer, amputated..."
