Chapter 505: Everyone knows

Han Sanping took Han Jia into the crowd on the side, and Lin Nan turned back to look at the person who came.

Every time he sees Fan Bingbing, he feels quite emotional; the former's beauty is different from Liu Yifei's, too seductive, even with light makeup.

"How long did you ask for leave from Director Wu Ershan?"

"Just one day. Came back last night, and will fly back to the crew tonight." Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.

"A bit rushed. I remember after *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, you haven't filmed martial arts, right?" Lin Nan asked curiously.

"Lin Dao is right, the later *The Deer and the Cauldron* doesn't quite count as martial arts for me. Haha..."

After not chatting for a few sentences, Vincent Zhao also ran over to greet Lin Nan; he can be considered to have been promoted by Lin Nan.

The few people chatted and laughed for nearly ten minutes. Lin Nan originally thought about leaving after staying for half an hour, but didn't expect to be held back by Ye Ning.

Added to the fact that Wang Changtian seemed to have something to say on the side, Lin Nan had no choice but to stay and watch the film.

"Director Gu's first commercial film, it seems it's also the first time to compete in the New Year season, right?"

Lin Nan saw that *Micro Love*, directed by Gu Changwei and starring Chen He and Angelababy, was scheduled for December 25th.

Wang Changtian complained to Lin Nan while sitting in his seat.

"Chairman Wang, let me say something unpleasant. Although Enlight fully invested in *The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel* back then, others are people from the Beijing circle, naturally close to Huayi."

Lin Nan hit Wang Changtian without mercy; Enlight doesn't have its own directors, so it wants to befriend or even solicit big directors in the circle too much.

"Sigh, just feel that this person's character has some problems." Wang Changtian smacked his lips and complained.

As the two were talking, the pre-show on stage was almost over, and the film *The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom* officially began.

Lin Nan watched seriously, and don't say, it's a nostalgic martial arts film; it's a pity Lu Yang didn't come today.

After watching the nearly two-hour film, Lin Nan objectively gave an evaluation: the editing is good, there are some new things, but there are more points to complain about.

Vincent Zhao's Jin Duyi and Ni Dahong's Wei Zhongxian are both brand-new interpretations; Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing are really dry wood and raging fire, quite exciting.

As for the others? Lin Nan even suspected, did this guy Yu Dong use unspoken rules? Tong Yao's role is dispensable; it would be fine to delete it.

During the cocktail party after the film ended, Lin Nan greeted Han Sanping and the others one after another, and prepared to leave.

Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he bumped into someone who came up to "flatter."

"Lin Dao, long time no see, I am Tong Yao, I was Jiani's bridesmaid last time."

Looking at the "Zhang Ziyi" standing in front of him with a smile and respect, Lin Nan nodded perfunctorily.

Without waiting for her to speak again, Lin Nan had already brushed past her towards the venue exit, leaving only Tong Yao, who was a bit embarrassed and wanted to toast, behind.

It is indeed a small Zhang Ziyi; not only does she look like her, but her personality is also very similar; both are the kind of people who can climb up at any cost and not let go of any opportunity!

When he reached the door, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, Zhang Guoli held a press conference to apologize to the media and to Tong Yao very humbly, just because his son hit the latter.

As for the specific reason, that is really the shame and stain of the Central Academy of Drama that cannot be erased; it is still circulating in the circle to this day.

…………

Lin Nan will definitely keep the matter he promised Han Jia in mind.

After returning to the company, he called Zhou Xingchi.

Then, it didn't go through... it didn't go through!

At this time, Zhou Xingchi is really busy with other things.

Kitty Zhang also didn't expect that after she sued Starry Sky to terminate the contract and left, she would still have a chance to come back to act in Zhou Xingchi's film.

When she received Zhou Xingchi's call, she was stunned. After her brain crashed and went blank, what remained was ecstasy.

In the dressing room, there are several sets of tight leather clothes, lace pajamas, black silk..., these are the clothes she has to try on.

A few minutes later, when wearing leather clothes, revealing a pair of fair northern hemispheres, with a convex front and a warped back, standing in front of Zhou Xingchi and several casting directors, Kitty Zhang still couldn't suppress her excitement.

"You these few years, um, how to say it? Very good!"

Zhou Xingchi couldn't find a less vulgar vocabulary for a while to describe Kitty Zhang's figure after marriage.

But Kitty Zhang knew what Zhou Xingchi meant; she is now bigger, fuller, and more womanly than when she was at Starry Sky.

"Master Star, do I need to change again?" Kitty Zhang couldn't help asking.

"Huh? No need. When I decided on casting, the first choice for Ruolan was you. Now it seems that the effect you showed in front of me is better than what I expected in my mind!"

Hearing this, the smile on Kitty Zhang's face couldn't be suppressed instantly, as if it was about to overflow. She knew she had completely won this role.

She became the only actress who could come back to cooperate after suing Zhou Xingchi.

Thinking about it now, Kitty Zhang, for that little termination fee, made a scene to the point of tearing her face, being known to everyone, and various slanders and smears, it was really stupid.

She was very clear back then; since she wanted to terminate the contract, she had to pay the termination fee, be straightforward, and part on good terms.

Facts proved that she was right; didn't they just get together again!

"Master Star, Lin Dao's call. Already called just now, didn't get through."

The assistant stood at the door with a Nokia and knocked to say. Tian Qiwen took it and handed it to Zhou Xingchi.

"Lin Dao?" Zhou Xingchi wondered.

Kitty Zhang was slightly excited; she knew that Lin Nan Film Industry was one of the investors in this *The Mermaid*, and it seemed the proportion was not small.

Does this count as her also getting connected with that big Lin Dao?!

If an actress wants to be popular for a long time, she cannot do without the promotion of big directors.

Speaking of this, Wang Quanan cannot be compared with Zhou Xingchi and Lin Nan at all.

Sometimes Kitty Zhang is very troubled; Wang Quanan's Golden Bear Award is not much different from not having one, and it is of no help to her, his actress wife.

"Lin Dao?"

Lin Nan was in the office, refining the script outline he had written before.

After waiting for more than half an hour, he made the second call; didn't expect it to go through this time, and judging by the voice, it was Zhou Xingchi.

"Director Zhou, busy?"

"Sorry, just auditioning."

"How was the audition result?"

Lin Nan asked politely; he couldn't just say he wanted to stuff someone in as soon as he opened his mouth, right?

Just heard Zhou Xingchi smile: "Not bad, I decided on the second female lead. Kitty Zhang will come to play Nuolan; she is a good actress, Lin Dao can try her if you have a play in the future."

Kitty Zhang was excited to the extreme instantly; can time really change a person?

How does she feel that Zhou Xingchi has much more human touch than a few years ago? Actually recommending actors to other directors!

Lin Nan here has a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own foot; he hasn't opened his mouth yet, but the other side introduced someone first.

"Fine, if there is a suitable play later, I will consider it." Lin Nan responded.

"Lin Dao called, is there anything?" Zhou Xingchi finally asked about the business.

Lin Nan didn't beat around the bush again, "Director Zhou, how about I recommend someone to the *The Mermaid* crew as an assistant director? You just treat it as bringing her along and teaching her. Things about the script can also be taught."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Zhou Xingchi subconsciously frowned, but after thinking carefully about the word "teach," it should be a young person.

"Lin Dao is talking about?"

"It's Chairman Han's daughter, Han Jia, and also my Chen Chen Shimei. She has already been the executive director of *Lost in Thailand* and the assistant director of my *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*."

"No problem, let her come."

When hearing it was Han Sanping's daughter, Zhou Xingchi's brows had already relaxed.

Back then, he was squeezed out in Hong Kong and had no choice but to go to the mainland.

But even so, that family was still threatening him, not allowing anyone to provide him with help.

It was Han Sanping who took action back then to help him solve all worries, and then there was *CJ7*, and after that, it was completely smooth sailing.

"Good."

Lin Nan knew there would be absolutely no problem.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xingchi looked at Tian Qiwen, "Notify the team, add an assistant director, just follow by my side."

"Master Star, Lin Dao is coming?"

"Haha, what dream talk are you saying?"

Zhou Xingchi couldn't help laughing, "Lin Dao recommended his Chen Chen Shimei Han Jia to come over; it's Chairman Han's daughter."

The people present suddenly realized.

Kitty Zhang opened her mouth slightly, sighing in her heart, it still has to be background. One phone call stuffed an assistant director over, and judging by Zhou Xingchi's meaning, it will be the first assistant director!

…………

Liu Yifei was eating pumpkin seeds, playfully sizing up Lin Nan.

"You promised others before not to interfere with the *The Mermaid* crew, didn't you just interfere now?"

"I didn't interfere much, just an assistant director. Besides, Zhou Xingchi didn't have an opinion either. And I already promised Han Jia."

Lin Nan took half of the pumpkin seed kernels from Liu Yifei's hand and poured them into his mouth, "Hmm, quite delicious, you bought it?"

In Lin Nan's view, Liu Xiaoli is not at home, so this kind of snack can only be bought by Miss Liu herself.

"Humph humph humph, you guess?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, looking triumphant and very happy.

The pumpkin seeds in Lin Nan's mouth were no longer fragrant, "No way, sending you food again? I'm the one surnamed Lin, okay, you are surnamed Liu!"

"Humph humph, guessed right! But I will convey your last sentence to Uncle in person next month."

Liu Yifei's beautiful chin lifted slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction, and her eyes glanced at Lin Nan, which was saying: "You better admit your mistake and coax me well now; I have a backer, break your leg!"

Looking at this arrogant look, Lin Nan smiled knowingly and decisively admitted defeat, "I was wrong, Princess Xixi. Everything in my Old Lin family is yours... including me."

"Pfft, hahaha. Remember what you said, anyway, I will remember it for a lifetime, humph!"

"Of course."

Lin Nan pinched Miss Liu's cheeks and said with a smile.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table suddenly buzzed, breaking this rare beautiful atmosphere.

"Let me see, who is it again? Picking an inappropriate time to call."

"Lin Nan, are you two getting engaged? Why didn't you say anything?"

Wang Changtian's voice came from the phone.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were instantly stunned; the matter of getting engaged, the two had only told a few close friends, didn't think about spreading it; how did Wang Changtian know?

"Just an engagement, no need to let everyone know; when it's the wedding, it won't be too late to make a big deal of it. By the way, Chairman Wang, how did you know?"

"Me? Everyone in the circle knows by now!"
