Chapter 342

Tang Ren is really desperate.

Many well-known film and television companies in the industry received calls from Cai Yinong personally again, of course, excluding state-owned enterprises.

She was either climbing relationships or selling face; in short, she hoped that the circle could give some thin face and cooperate with Tang Ren to block Lin Gengxin.

And she said a whole set of things, feeling quite "reasonable":

"This kind of ungrateful young actor who doesn't know his own weight cannot be allowed to continue to set a bad example in the industry, cannot let a rat dropping spoil a pot of soup, and destroy the rules of the circle..."

Don't say, this time many companies gave Cai Yinong face.

Because even if they don't like Tang Ren on weekdays, in this situation, everyone is a film and television company, and their position is naturally consistent with Tang Ren's.

No one can say for sure whether their own company will produce one or two "rebellious cubs" in the future.

Giving Tang Ren face now is also leaving a way out for themselves, just in case.

However, several top companies were too lazy to pay attention, or Cai Yinong couldn't contact them at all.

Just like Lin Nan Pictures, Yue Jun didn't even mention it to Lin Nan, and directly rejected Cai Yinong's face.

Others are just contract disputes, fighting contract termination lawsuits, not illegal crimes. Even if they committed a crime, there is a court to judge.

And they didn't offend Lin Nan Pictures, so why should the company help Tang Ren block a young actor? Bullying the small, smearing the company's reputation? Your Cai Yinong's face is not worth this price!

But in any case, Tang Ren successfully lobbied more than half of the film and television circle...

In two weeks, the box office of "Sleepless in Seattle" broke through to 430 million.

Xue Xiaolu successfully promoted from a 300 million director to a member of the 400 million box office club.

As an incumbent professor at the Beijing Film Academy, the school's official website also made a big fuss, vigorously promoting and praising her; this is the facade of the teaching staff.

This also once again proves: Beijing Film Academy producing excellent directors is an indisputable fact in the industry!

Especially in the current art examination stage, it even suppressed art colleges such as the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, earning enough attention and topics for the Beijing Film Academy.

Cao Baoping's call reached Lin Nan here.

"I originally said I would continue to find you to pull investment, but weren't you filming a foreign language film in Hollywood at that time?"

"Later I thought, forget it? I can't always pit you, just like last time, almost pitted you, although I won an award in the end, it only recouped the cost. Haha..."

"It just so happened that Bona didn't know where they heard the news and took the initiative to find me. In the end, this is the situation. Calling to tell you, after all, after 'The Equation of Love and Death' ended, I said I would continue to find you."

Lin Nan thought it was some big deal; after a long time, it was just a film investment matter.

"It doesn't matter. Teacher Cao, next time you pull investment, if I'm not here, you can go directly to Yue Jun."

"Films, originally are high-risk projects. Besides, with your strength, I believe the quality of the film will definitely not be bad."

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved. Next time I'll definitely find you. Just don't mind if I lose money, hehe..." Cao Baoping promised with a smile.

"By the way, what film is Teacher Cao going to shoot this time? When will it start filming?"

Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Um, adapted from 'Sunspots', it's still a crime suspense film. I've been doing the script slowly for a long time. I just decided on the roles in the last two days, didn't publicly audition, and will start filming early next month, you can come and take a look..."

"Um, of course no problem, I'll go take a look when the time comes."

After chatting for a long time, the two hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Lin Nan was still muttering the name of that one just now, "Sounds a bit familiar?"

Speaking, he casually opened the webpage and searched, "Um, this one?"

The next second, a helpless smile appeared on Lin Nan's face, self-deprecating:

"Yu Dong that guy really picked up a leak, 'The Dead End'!"

Since he missed it, Lin Nan didn't think about it anymore, just a little regretful.

Outside, the news of the start of "Scarlet Heart 2" was hyped up.

When it comes to hype, Tang Ren is indeed good at it; the selling point is: "Scarlet Heart" sequel, Fourth Master and Ruoxi continue their relationship in modern times.

The heat of the new drama's start even completely suppressed the hot spots of "Honey" fans mocking Liu Shishi and "Sad Fairy Tale" box office, as well as the negative news of Tang Ren fighting a lawsuit with Lin Gengxin, very quickly.

For top production companies in the industry, an extra TV drama in the circle is a very small matter, just media and fans joining in the fun, liking to compare this and that.

But if there is an extra film, especially a commercial film by a big director, it's different.

Feng Xiaogang and Huayi officially announced the news of the new film to the outside world; "Personal Tailor" will hold a start-up press conference early next month.

Xiao Gangpao's mood in the past few months is really good; the feeling of being sincerely praised by the vast number of audiences makes him very intoxicated and fascinated.

The tone of his Weibo posts now is rarely very gentle.

"I'm sorry, last year's 'Back to 1942' caused a big blockage for all the audiences who bought tickets wanting to watch a comedy."

"Here, I can guarantee that 'Personal Tailor' in this year's New Year slot will definitely make everyone laugh until they twitch. If you think it's not funny or boring, you can find me for a refund, I'll post it as proof!"

If this were said by an ordinary person, it would be big talk and bragging in advance.

But Feng Xiaogang, everyone inside and outside the circle knows, he really has the capital to say this.

Especially the announced cast:

Ge You, Bai Baihe, Li Xiaolu, Zheng Kai, Fan Wei, Li Chengru, Song Dandan, etc., old and new, big names and small stars are not lacking, and it is written by Wang Shuo, which is enough to see the liveliness of this film.

Speaking of which, it's strange, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is already 1.1 billion, and I haven't seen Huayi's stock price go up.

As a result, as soon as "Personal Tailor" was announced, the stock price started to soar.

Since "Back to 1942", Huayi's stock price, which has been falling for three consecutive months, has finally turned back; it's really not easy!

But this can also be seen; Huayi is really too dependent on Feng Xiaogang, and the binding is too deep, which is not a good thing.

In the past few months, if you want to say which actor in the industry is the most conspicuous, it must be Huang Bo.

"Lost in Thailand", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "The 101st Proposal", and "Chef, Actor, Scoundrel" which was just scheduled for the end of next month.

At this stage, the entire film and television circle can't find a male actor more glorious than him.

Chinese films have a total of three films with over 1 billion box office, and he acted in two of them alone, with both awards and box office, unique for a time!

Isn't it, the final test of the Beijing Film Academy art examination, just temporarily called him back to stand on the stage; I heard that the atmosphere at the scene was particularly hot, and nine and a half out of ten art candidates asked for signatures and group photos.

Lin Nan and Guo Fan have been busy at Tiangong Color these days; after rough editing comes fine editing.

"The Invisible Guest" has no special effects, and the efficiency is obviously much higher.

Just like this, busy and busy, time entered March.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has only a week left before it's taken off the screen; at this time, the box office is 1.16 billion, making a final sprint.

In the eyes of the circle, rushing to 1.2 billion should be no problem, but 1.3 billion is really impossible.

Thinking of the rejection of the extension key for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", many people feel regret for Zhou Xingchi.

Because from the current point of view, even if "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Bad Genius" were given the same five-week release time, its box office would not catch up with the latter's 1.43 billion.

But competing for second place with "Lost in Thailand"'s 1.267 billion, there is still a great chance, and the outcome is just a hair's breadth away.

And "Lost in Thailand"'s advantage is that "unreasonable" one-month extension!

At this time, the film production industry looked at the box office data and felt a bit nervous and exciting, as if "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had their share.

It's only just entered March, and films for April and even part of the May Day slot have already started promoting in a big way.

Especially Zhao Yanzi's "So Young".

When she took the crew members to visit talk shows, the invited guests were Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, He Lin, etc., as well as Cui Xinqin, the head teacher of the 96th grade of the Beijing Film Academy acting department, who came together for a "So Young" style film promotion.

The two most famous 96th grade head teachers in the circle are Chang Li and Cui Xinqin!

When asked if there was any fear or pressure on films in the same period, Zhao Yanzi didn't hide it:

"Youth-themed films have a very low viewing threshold, and this film also has a large fan base."

"As for competitors, I think Director Lu Yang's 'Brotherhood of Blades' is an opponent we can't avoid."

After this sentence was spoken, no one at the scene refuted it, and even the host smiled.

"Lin Dao's company's films are indeed well-known. But didn't you say it yourself, 'So Young' has its own fan base."

"'Brotherhood of Blades' is not a film directed by Lin Dao Nan himself, so there might not be a chance to suppress it, right?"

"Yes, have confidence." Cui Xinqin cheered for her students, and Chen Kun, He Lin, and other classmates echoed.

Huang Xiaoming also came out alone to smooth things over:

"Although it's written by Lin Dao and directed by Director Lu. But the two films are not on the same track, the conflict shouldn't be too big, so I wish both films a big box office success. Hehe..."

Lin Nan met Lu Yang, Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Bai Bing from Emperor Motion Pictures at the company; they are the main creators of the film, and other supporting roles don't need to follow.

"Those films have started, you guys should prepare too. As Zhao Yanzi said, the biggest box office opponent for 'Brotherhood of Blades' is also 'So Young'."

"Although this type of film has no nutrition, it has nostalgia and is also dog-blooded, which is very attractive to fans. But seeing too much, it's actually just like that."

Just after Lin Nan finished speaking, Lu Yang joked, "Just like the youth film elements summarized by Lin Dao at the 'Bad Genius' premiere?"

At this moment, everyone at the scene couldn't help laughing out loud. Lin Nan's summary is still circulating on the internet.

A large number of netizens are saying that they will use Lin Nan's set of "formulas" to apply to every youth-themed film released in the future to see how the hit rate is!

Lin Nan smiled and didn't pick up the topic, "That's it for today, for the next month and a half, I'll have to trouble you guys. Especially Bai Bing, you are the only woman."

"Lin Dao is polite, this is what should be done, how can it be called hard work." Bai Bing said with a smile.

Looking at this fellow villager, Lin Nan nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Brotherhood of Blades", this film can be said to be highly concerned by the industry because it is written by Lin Nan and directed by Lu Yang.

Zhao Wenzhuo is an actor decided after the "Zhao-Zhen Dispute" last year, with his own topics and public opinion.

And a few days ago, Zhen Zidan's "Together" created a box office shame that he could never wipe off in his life, unless he starred in a film with a box office of less than 820,000 later.

Similarly, Wang Baoqiang is also a highlight; "Lost in Thailand"'s 1.267 billion was just over a month ago, and the audience remembers it vividly.

Bai Bing? This face is enough.

The recently popular "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", the Xiao Meiniang inside, is very charming! She also has the label of Princess Yushu.

Since they gathered at the company, Lin Nan also took the opportunity to treat them to a meal, and didn't need to call Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu has had a lot of socializing recently; once she makes a call, she is outside with Shu Chang, Xie Nan, and those people.

Lin Nan and a few people were having dinner here, and on the other side, Liu Yifei was not idle either.

It's just that, at this moment, it was just her and Xie Nan.

"We really couldn't find anyone else, so I thought of you, Yifei."

Xie Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said a bit embarrassedly.

Miss Liu was quite lively, laughing and saying:

"This is not an embarrassing thing. Besides, I said before that if everyone has something suitable in this regard, they can recommend it to me; this was Lin Nan's suggestion to me."

"This kind of thing, it must be that there is really no way, so I found a friend around me, after all, there is a risk. Although you are the richest woman I know in the circle, hahaha..."

Xie Nan joked with a smile; what she said was the truth.

Not to mention anything else, just the box office revenue and copyright of those films by Liu Yifei and Lin Nan crushed how many film and television companies in the industry.

Enlight's two-year profit can't compare to one of their films.

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, and the next moment she became a bit serious:

"Although I am willing to help, I still have to go back and consider it carefully. You know, this is not a small matter."

"But don't worry, if it's decided, I can help you get all the investment alone!"

"Of course I have to consider it carefully. I wouldn't dare to expect you to agree in a rush. Even if you dare, I wouldn't dare. If Lin Dao knew, he would think I had bad intentions."

Xie Nan said, took a document bag out of her bag, and handed it to Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu took it, didn't open it to look on the spot, and then put it into her bag.

"If you have good news there, next time I'll bring him along. I originally called him to eat together today, but when I heard it was only you, I felt embarrassed."

Xie Nan complained to Liu Yifei.

"Don't say, Lin Nan is the same. If he hears it's all women, he won't come either."

Liu Yifei teased with a smile in her eyebrows.

She picked up her phone and bag and stood up; the dinner for the two today ended here.

Xie Nan sent Liu Yifei out of the private restaurant, watched her drive away, and then picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Did you finish lunch? Do you want me to pick you up?"

A concerned greeting came from the other end of the phone.

"Finished. But it wasn't just eating."

"What do you mean? Not just eating, did you drink too? Hahaha..."

"I opened my mouth to Yifei..."

Xie Nan's voice fell, and the other end of the phone was instantly quiet.

After a long time.

"I, sigh, thank you..."
