Chapter 474: Don't Want the

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei attended Wu Jing and Xie Nan's wedding, right at the China World Hotel banquet hall.

Compared to Zhu Yawen's wedding scene before, this one was much inferior.

Among the guests, there were really very, very few first-tier stars from the circle.

Most were second or third-tier actors and artists, as well as TV hosts.

So Lin Nan and Liu Yifei became exceptionally conspicuous.

But this is understandable; after all, for now, Wu Jing's status was only second-tier.

And Xie Nan goes without saying, just a signed host and artist of Enlight Media.

The entertainment circle, isn't it just like this? Flattering the high and trampling the low, judging people by their status. When you're red, everyone is a friend; when you're not red, they definitely don't know you.

After the wedding banquet, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei greeted the newlyweds and left.

"Xie Nan is wearing a wedding dress, her belly is so conspicuous."

In the passenger seat, Miss Liu couldn't stop laughing.

She gestured on herself with both hands, then immediately pulled her hands back as if thinking of something shy.

"She's already 4 months along, it would be strange if it wasn't conspicuous."

Lin Nan teased and looked at Liu Yifei.

"Xixi?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Miss Liu looked up and asked blankly.

"Do you think Western-style wedding dresses look good, or Chinese-style phoenix coronets and robes look good?" Lin Nan asked very naturally.

Liu Yifei was stunned at first, and the next second a smile bloomed on her face, her pride overflowing.

A moment later, she turned her head to the other side, not looking at Lin Nan through the car window, humming and saying: "I don't know, why are you asking me this?"

"Really don't know? I remember you wore phoenix coronets and robes in a play before?"

"In a play is in a play, I haven't worn them in reality." Liu Yifei's voice was a bit coquettish, carrying a bit of excitement.

"Then you should pick carefully, you'll need them later, haha..."

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he focused on driving.

Leaving Miss Liu alone in the passenger seat, sometimes giggling, sometimes shy, and occasionally glaring at Lin Nan fiercely, unable to settle down.

"That... let me think carefully... after picking... I'll tell you..."

After a long time, Liu Yifei's voice drifted into Lin Nan's ears, crisp and soft.

The film and television circle finally witnessed what "top-tier treatment" was.

Xu Jinglei, the "Talented Woman Xu" known as the "Eldest Princess of the Beijing Circle," announced high-profile to the outside world.

Her new film, "Somewhere Only We Know," produced by her company, written by Wang Shuo, and directed by herself, was officially launched.

What made countless people in the circle feel absurd was that Xu Jinglei actually directly used Wu Yifan, who had just returned from South Korea, and he was the male lead!

No matter what, she was also a well-known director; finding someone with no acting foundation to be the male lead, doing this, wasn't she afraid of smashing her own brand?

Or was it that Talented Woman Xu had taken a fancy to this young man? Had she already accepted him for the Beijing circle?!

For a time, various comments about old women and little milk dogs spread like wildfire.

The May film market was finally about to welcome its most thrilling moment.

The industry had forgotten when the last head-on collision between great directors was.

But this time, it was absolutely tense and exciting!

"Coming Home" and "The Invisible Guest" were both award-chasing films.

And Zhang Yimou and Lin Nan were both great directors with great reputations, regulars at the three major European film festivals.

Not only that, the most important thing was that there was a full thirty-four-year age gap between the two, which would be a peak showdown between two generations of great directors!

The Internet had long been arguing, and it was fiery.

"Director Zhang is the great director with the most awards among the Fifth Generation, while Lin Dao is the number one person among the Sixth Generation directors! So conflicted, which one to watch first?"

"Released tomorrow, why is it Friday! Why not Saturday?"

"If comparing box office, I think Lin Dao plus Leonardo might be stronger, right? Although it's a foreign language film."

"Comparing awards isn't weak either, Oscar Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, over 200 million in North American box office!"

Enlight Media.

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian each had a copy of the "Running Man" shortlist, both reading very seriously.

The project manager was introducing on the side:

"Among first-tier actors, there aren't many who can let go of their status and play openly. Deng Chao often plays ugly and self-deprecates, has good EQ, Wang Baoqiang is grounded and has good skills..."

Listening to the artists in the list being analyzed and introduced one by one, Lin Nan didn't have much reaction, but Wang Changtian nodded from time to time, looking very satisfied.

"Selecting artists for reality shows still can't avoid human favors."

Lin Nan couldn't refute Wang Changtian's words, because even Emperor Entertainment had called him, hoping to stuff in some Hong Kong artists.

"This second-tier artist, Chen He. Their evaluation is that his EQ is very high, and he has a full sense of variety. Hmm, Chen Kaige's nephew."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, looking at Wang Changtian, "Chairman Wang, what do you mean by specifically mentioning Director Chen Kaige?"

"Nothing special, just telling the truth. For artists with equal talent, we must prioritize those with connections. Besides, his audience affinity is indeed very good."

"Hmm, I know 'iPartment.' Tudou bought the exclusive broadcast rights, and the click rate is very high." Lin Nan didn't refuse, nodding and saying.

"How about this one? Li Chen, recommended by Huayi."

"From the 'Stab-in-the-Back' Sect?"

"Haha, your sentence telling Yin Xiaotian to call the police really caught them all in one net."

"For this group of people, I'd rather they be humble and apologetic in front of me than say 'sorry' to the person they slandered. I don't want him here."

Lin Nan waved his hand directly, his attitude very firm.

"Fine then. Remove this Li Chen." Wang Changtian signaled to the people from the "Running Man" project team on the side.

On the 16th, "The Invisible Guest" and "Coming Home" were released simultaneously.

Lin Nan heard from Ye Ning that the screen allocation given by the theater chains to these two films was basically equal, with little difference.

In that case, it would be interesting.

Which film is stronger and which is weaker, whose box office and audience count is higher, will all be clear at a glance, laid out nakedly on the table.

Because the ticket prices for these two films were also basically the same.

Competing with Zhang Yimou in the same release slot for the first time, Lin Nan was still a bit excited.

He didn't go to the company during the day, just stayed at home.

Although the first-day box office wouldn't be seen until tomorrow, the online reviews would come out in the afternoon.

If earlier, there would be some at noon, just relatively few.

Liu Yifei was even more active than Lin Nan; when eating lunch, she would refresh Weibo from time to time.

"If you defeat Director Zhang head-on this time, that would be incredible."

"What's so incredible about it?" Lin Nan asked with interest.

"They are all saying that if you defeat Director Zhang Yimou head-on with an award-chasing film, you will truly be the number one director in the country from now on."

Liu Yifei said somewhat excitedly, the smile on her face incomparably sweet.

"Don't listen to the fans bragging blindly; there is no first in literature, it will offend the public, haha..." Lin Nan shook his head with a smile.

If Chen Kaige heard that, he would have to curse for a long time; after all, in his eyes, he was the number one great director in the country.

Explain, I need to accompany someone in the hospital these two days, so typing is very inconvenient, and the word count will fluctuate significantly.
