Chapter 519: Liu Yifei Picks Up at the Airport

Inside the huge conference hall, it was filled with a murderous atmosphere; only Tong Gang was speaking sternly, every word piercing the heart.

He was like the presiding judge in court who was sentencing to death, immediate execution, and not accepting appeals, making everyone feel oppressed and fearful.

Because this was not only sentencing those artists with bad records to death, but also sounding the alarm for all other practitioners in the film and television entertainment industry!

"The eye sockets of those two are red."

Lin Nan glanced at Jackie Chan following the sound; such scenes were rarely seen even in his movies. The 60-year-old Big Brother Jackie was indeed old.

"I'm afraid that in the days to come, he will have to run around for his own son; it's also paying off debts."

"You said that, it has that flavor."

Wang Changtian nodded with emotion, and as if thinking of something, he leaned toward Lin Nan:

"But I reckon these two still won't give up easily."

Lin Nan was really unable to refute this for a while.

After all, it is a society of human relationships, especially in the human relationship capital circle like the film and television entertainment industry.

With Big Brother Jackie's international influence and huge contributions, he would definitely be "specially cared for" by the higher-ups.

"Let's see. Anyway, after the document comes out, we will execute it accordingly. As for how to supervise, that is the business of the competent department."

At this time, Director Tong on the podium had also finished speaking.

"... It's already eleven o'clock now, and there is half an hour left for everyone; you can ask questions freely."

As soon as the voice fell, I saw Li Shaohong, the president of the Directors Guild, stand up:

"Director Tong, are extramarital affairs in marriage considered bad records for actors, stars, and public figures in the film and television industry? Will they be banned?"

Good grief, this question immediately made most directors and actors spirited; this was indeed a question that many people were very concerned about!

Because this is the film and television entertainment circle! Red lights and green wine, infinite temptation.

The most common problems are "falling in love over time" in the crew, "physical transactions"...

Who can guarantee that they will absolutely not cheat? And quite a few directors and actors have indeed cheated, or have been cheating during marriage!

"I remember that two days ago, Wen Zhang seemed to be nominated for the Huading Award for Best TV Director, right?" Lin Nan asked Wang Changtian uncertainly.

"Mm, that's right, he was nominated for Best Director.

Li Shaohong asking this question is also likely related to Wen Zhang; after all, the latter is a young backbone of the Directors Guild and indeed has talent."

The field was discussing again; if extramarital affairs during marriage were defined as bad records and then banned, a large group of people would suffer!

Several leaders were obviously aware of this point and were a bit angry at their failure to live up to expectations, but Tong Gang still opened his mouth to answer:

"Whether it is directors, actors, stars, and public figures in the film and television entertainment industry, or ordinary people, extramarital affairs during marriage are definitely bad behaviors..."

Most people at the scene changed their expressions instantly, more excited than when they heard about banning drug-involved artists, an excitement that could not be accepted.

Because the previous knife couldn't reach them, but the lethality range of this "extramarital affair during marriage" was hard to say.

"... Actually, strictly speaking, extramarital affairs during marriage belong to moral flaws; it is indeed a bad behavior, but whether to ban such actors, stars, and public figures in the industry, we still need to discuss it!"

Hearing Tong Gang's supplementary words, many people breathed a sigh of relief; it was a close call.

"Heh, might as well ban them all."

Lin Nan laughed in a low voice, but he thought the higher-ups should leave room.

"You really dare to say that; you are loyal to your Liu Yifei, so you can stand and talk without back pain.

But how do you let Gu Changwei and the others think? These are all good comrades who have made mistakes and are still making mistakes! Haha..."

Wang Changtian joked.

"Uh..., they don't seem to need to appear on screen! Then it seems they can only ban the female side?" Lin Nan joked casually.

No one asked any more questions; the sharpest questions had all been asked.

Tong Gang's answer was either the worst ban treatment or waiting for the final "red-headed document."

This waiting process was also destined to be very tormenting, making quite a few film and television companies and people in the industry uneasy.

By eleven-thirty, this industry conference was officially over, and the tone of "banning" was completely set!

When Tong Gang said the two words "dismissed," and everyone was preparing to leave the venue one after another—the former came to a sudden stop:

"China Film, Shanghai Film, Western Film, Ningxia Film... Lin Nan, stay for a while."

Oh, Lin Nan's just-raised butt fell helplessly again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, was I right? Good luck."

Wang Changtian patted Lin Nan on the shoulder, looking gloating, while Lin Nan already had a bitter face.

"This, what is this!"

Liu Yifei just sent a message saying she had already picked up the person and was on the way home. They were blocked by the media at the airport for more than ten minutes.

"I'm leaving first. You saved another meal; really envious. Haha..."

Ning Hao, who had no proper behavior, also came to tease him.

Unlike last time, this time quite a few people in the circle were greeting Lin Nan as they got up to leave; Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, people from Emperor Motion Pictures...

"Lin Dao, if you are free in these two days, can I invite you to dinner?"

Facing Jackie Chan's invitation, Lin Nan didn't know how to answer. However, he still nodded subconsciously, "Big Brother Jackie is polite."

"Haha, it's nothing. Then it's settled; I'll contact you when the time comes."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Nan to react, Jackie Chan walked away immediately.

"I, didn't seem to agree, right? Nodding was just politeness and courtesy!" Lin Nan muttered speechlessly, blaming himself for being slow to react.

Why did Jackie Chan suddenly want to invite him to dinner? He wasn't a fool; how could he not guess? Difficult to handle!

A large group of people from the film and television circle surged out of the General Administration one after another.

They were communicating and discussing in groups of three or five, with few smiling faces.

Big Brother Jackie and Old Zhang were particularly eye-catching; the two were talking shoulder to shoulder, trailing far behind the main force.

Many people were muttering and teasing in their hearts: "Could it be that the two fathers are still discussing how to rescue their sons? Planning how to make a comeback? Is this possible?"

"After coming out in February, keep a low profile for a year or half a year, and then slowly figure out a way and find an opportunity," Big Brother Jackie said helplessly with a sigh.

"It can only be like this; I hope that after staying inside for half a year this time, he can remember the lesson, and in the future..."

Old Zhang shook his head and said exhaustedly. Feng Xiaogang had already promised that he would arrange for his son to enter his crew to do behind-the-scenes work, take him by his side, and slowly turn to directing.

Not long after, high-end cars and RVs drove away from the gate of the General Administration one after another.

The media reporters didn't get any good faces throughout the whole process and didn't get any news, and everyone had a vague guess in their hearts.

"Today, didn't something really big happen?"

The canteen of the General Administration is quite delicious; after all, there are quite a few leaders here.

But Lin Nan felt he was a bit unable to enjoy it, especially sitting among a group of bigwigs, very uncomfortable.

"Film and television works that have been filmed or are being filmed with the participation of drug-involved actors, if they cannot be released or broadcast normally, or even need to change roles and re-film to get a release permit, then the losses will be huge!

You know, currently, the average production cost of TV series is generally higher than that of movies, just not as good as a few big-budget films. Many companies simply cannot afford this loss!"

At the dining table, Ren Zhonglun said such a thing.

Not to mention Tong Gang and several other state-owned enterprise leaders, even Lin Nan could hear the meaning in these words. It was just to prioritize money, let these film and television works go.

This topic was not easy to intervene in; Lin Nan remained silent, picking up food with others, eating in a low profile.

Even if he wanted to refute Ren Zhonglun, it shouldn't be Lin Nan who spoke.

"If you take a step back, they can advance, or even find loopholes.

I think we should just knock them dead with one blow; regardless of whether they are filmed or not, whether they have been released or aired, these film and television works must all be banned.

Besides that, web dramas, TV programs, audio, micro-films, and other works must also be banned, and previous works must all be taken off the shelves. Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!"

La Peikang directly confronted Ren Zhonglun; only he had the qualifications to confront Shanghai Film head-on.

"What about the losses of those film and television companies?" Ren Zhonglun asked back.

"That's their own fault; didn't they do an investigation when looking for actors? Didn't they know what kind of goods they were looking for?

Just use them to set an example for the entire film and television industry. Either give up, or cut the scenes, or change roles and re-film!"

Since knowing that the project China Film was doing was very clean, La Peikang's confidence was very sufficient!

"What do you think?" Tong Gang put down his chopsticks and asked softly.

"I think Chairman La's proposal is good; just hit them hard once, and the companies and artists behind will remember the lesson."

"Chairman La's is good."

They were all state-owned enterprises; at this time, the boss of Shanghai Film was isolated and helpless.

"Lin Nan, what about you? You were the first to propose a ban."

Lin Nan, who was named, was very helpless; he decisively chose to stand in line: "I think Chairman La's proposal is good; hit them hard once, and the companies and artists behind will remember the lesson."

The film and television works problem that many companies were concerned about in the morning had an answer at the dining table of the General Administration at noon—ban them all!

A meal, not fast, during which Tong Gang said quite a few things.

From the end of the month, Lin Nan had to follow La Peikang and others, reporting to the General Administration from time to time as a "temporary consultant."

The ban document for artists with bad records was about to be produced; they had to follow other "experts" to offer advice and suggestions, participate in the compilation and definition.

"Alright, I won't send you off. The official document must be announced and implemented before National Day... remember to keep it confidential."

When dismissing the meeting, Tong Gang specifically instructed.

Lin Nan was still complaining in his heart; since it was to be kept confidential, then simply don't tell everyone the time limit.

If this were accidentally leaked, some movies might be advanced!

"Hey! Isn't Director Tong fishing? If the words at the dinner table were really leaked, wouldn't it mean several movies would be advanced!"

Lin Nan muttered, a bit scared. These leaders. However, he estimated that even if those movies wanted to be advanced, the higher-ups would definitely not agree.

In the afternoon, the news on the internet was very lively, with all kinds of entertainment information, making people overwhelmed.

"This morning, the film and television entertainment industry conference was held again; the definition of artists with bad records and the disposal methods of participating works are about to be released."

"Drug-involved artists were explicitly named and will be banned. Specific banning criteria and degree of banning will be announced with the official document."

"Popular young actor, detained for seven days, was officially released at noon today. He will return to Taiwan with his parents immediately and will face a second round of summons!"

"Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared at the capital airport at noon today to pick up relatives. Including Liu Xiaoli's parents, younger sister..."

"The engagement location of Lin Dao and Liu Yifei is still unknown, refusing media visits and reports..."

The internet was already exploding; countless netizens were very excited, and they were no longer interested in the affairs of those artists with bad records.

Today, they heard big gossip!

Most people in the film and television circle also noticed this news, and then it was a sudden realization.

No wonder Lin Nan gave such a big birthday gift as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" on Liu Yifei's 18th birthday.

No wonder after 2005, there were gradually no voices targeting Liu Yifei in the circle... the degree of cyberbullying before was appalling!

"Damn, Lin Dao and Liu Yifei didn't start in 2009! They met their parents in early 2006?"

"At that time, Liu Yifei was still more than half a year away from her 19th birthday."

"What about the teachers at the Beijing Film Academy? I report them for puppy love; they absolutely had puppy love! Before Liu Yifei was 18, she absolutely had puppy love with Lin Dao!"

"Lin Dao is awesome. He was looking for his future wife as soon as he entered school. Tsk tsk tsk... everyone learn from him!"

Inexplicably, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei became the headline of today's Weibo trending list around noon.

The topic of discussion was all about when the two of them started.

A large number of netizens provided evidence and guesses, setting the time at early 2004.

Because at that time, there was a photo of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in the peach blossom forest of "Chinese Paladin," which was later used by Tang Ren as a TV series promotional photo.

In that photo, the look in Lin Nan's eyes when looking at Liu Yifei was very wrong, full of tenderness.

Good grief, the case is solved!

A large group of netizens were so excited; you know, at that time, Liu Yifei was only 17 years old, 17 years old!

Anyway, no one believed the most outrageous one: in 2002, when they first met, Lin Dao had "bad intentions"!

The second trending topic was the news of Watching Watching Lao Lin, and his degree of recognition for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

It even said that if Lin Nan dared to mess around, he would break Lin Nan's legs, and it would serve him right if he died!

On the way home, Lin Nan received quite a few calls teasing him.

"I can already predict your family status after marriage, brother. It will likely go in the direction of being henpecked and never look back. Yifei's backing is too hard! If you move, you might break your legs, haha..."

"Your grandfather's, too much nonsense."

Lin Nan retorted unhappily; this guy was just here to laugh at him.

"This is a fact. Besides, I wanted to go over and see Uncle. How to say, I also ate Uncle's food at your house for several days back then; it's been many years since I've seen him."

"Mm, still have a bit of conscience; remember to bring more gifts," Lin Nan said with a smile.

When the vehicles slowly entered the villa area and passed Liu Yifei's villa, Lin Nan's eyes lit up instantly.

He saw Watching Watching Lao Lin sitting in the garden over there, chatting and laughing with Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli.

"Lin Nan is back."

The first to discover Lin Nan's car was the Wang Wang team on the lawn, which caught Liu Yifei's attention.

"I'll go park first." Through the car window, Lin Nan shouted.

Watching Watching Lao Lin looked at his son with a smile, muttering something, which made Liu Yifei beside him laugh.

When Lin Nan walked from his own villa's garage to Liu Yifei's side, Watching Watching Lao Lin's smile had already restrained a lot.

A biological father is like this; smiling when far away, and subconsciously putting on the father's shelf when close.

A traditional father is like Watching Watching Lao Lin, who is not too "gentle" to his son most of the time, looking like a strict father.

"Have you eaten lunch?"

"Mm, ate. Originally Mom said to eat outside, but Uncle, he insisted on cooking..."

Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's arm and said embarrassedly.

In her and Liu Xiaoli's view, this was very inappropriate, but they really couldn't refuse.

"I brought quite a few ingredients; eating at home is lively and comfortable."

Watching Watching Lao Lin said with a full face of smiles.

Lin Nan knew that this was also a way for Watching Watching Lao Lin to get close to others from the bottom of his heart.

Just like when Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen went to attend the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, they incidentally returned to their hometown. For those few days, Watching Watching Lao Lin cooked personally for every meal to entertain Zhu Yawen.

There were still five days until the engagement banquet.

Around these days, Watching Watching Lao Lin would live on the third floor of Lin Nan's villa.

Of course, Liu Yifei couldn't run to Lin Nan's room at night anymore.

In the afternoon, Lin Nan stayed at home, didn't go anywhere, and chatted.

He thought that in these two days, he could take his father to wander around, for example, to the company.

When parents are concerned, besides their children's marriage and health, isn't it work?

This wasn't it; not long after, Watching Watching Lao Lin asked Lin Nan what he was doing in the morning?

When Liu Yifei picked him up, she only said Lin Nan was busy, because there were many reporters at the scene, fearing being chased and asked.

Hearing that it was to attend the film and television entertainment industry conference at the General Administration, Watching Watching Lao Lin started nodding.

Because of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, he also watched some film and television information, although he often didn't understand it.

Taking the tablet handed over by Liu Yifei, Watching Watching Lao Lin leaned back slightly, looking at the screen, muttering with emotion:

"Such decent young dolls, why don't they learn well? Still big stars, do you two know them?"

Big stars?

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei smiled at each other; in front of the two of them, these two guys wearing "uniforms" in the news really don't count as big stars.

"Considered knowing them. The one on the left, from Taiwan, haven't dealt with him.

The one on the right who looks uglier, I'm very familiar with his father, and we held a meeting together this morning, saying if I have free time in these two days, he wants to invite me to dinner."

"You are familiar with his father? Who is his father?" Watching Watching Lao Lin asked curiously.

"It's Big Brother Jackie."

Liu Yifei answered crisply.

"Jackie Chan? My goodness, this is a big star, an international superstar. His child, didn't manage well?"

Jackie Chan, who can be familiar to all the people in the country, definitely ranks in the top three; Watching Watching Lao Lin naturally knows him.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei with an incredible look.

"This, we don't know. Maybe it's because he was too busy with work and couldn't take care of the family?" Lin Nan fooled him.

"It seems that being an international superstar is not easy... You two must educate your children well in the future... If you are too busy, then trouble the in-laws; I definitely can't do it, I still learned cultural lessons in the army..."

Watching Watching Lao Lin was chattering, and suddenly he even said his heart's words.

Liu Yifei blushed at this moment, which was very beautiful. It's just that one hand was hidden behind Lin Nan, pinching Lin Nan's waist with her thumb and index finger. She whispered: "How did it suddenly get to children..."

Liu Xiaoli sat on the side and promised with a smile: "No problem, I can help them take care of the children, hehehe..."

The matter of banning drug-involved artists spread throughout the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia in an afternoon.

At the very least, this was the only clear "tone" at the industry conference today.

But countless die-hard fans were cursing and attacking on the internet.

There were even some fans slandering, saying that the higher-ups had designed a frame-up, slapped on false charges, and maliciously banned young actors.

These people shouted slogans that even if their idols were banned, they would never give up. They would wait for their "male god" to make a comeback, wait forever, and never give up...

Weibo had already banned a large number of accounts that were cursing and attacking unscrupulously, including those cursing Lin Nan; who told him to be the one who proposed the "ban" suggestion!

"The premiere of 'The Four 3' is the day after tomorrow; why don't you come to support? This is the last one. You sent someone over before, and I gave a series film directly!" Wang Changtian invited Lin Nan on the phone.

"Fine. Anyway, I have nothing to do in these two days, just waiting for the engagement."

Lin Nan agreed, because Watching Watching Lao Lin was going to visit Tiananmen, the Chairman's Memorial Hall... and didn't let anyone follow him; he just liked these places.

"Oh, I remembered, you are getting engaged on the 25th; don't invite me to sit? The gift is definitely prepared!" Wang Changtian joked.

"Forget it, wait until my wedding, Chairman Wang, then bleed again; don't be stingy."

"Easy to say, easy to say, absolutely satisfy you, haha..."

After hanging up Wang Changtian's phone, Lin Nan noticed that it had been more than three years since he signed Zhao Liying.

"Lei Jiayin, it seems it's been more than four years? The contract will expire in March next year!"

Regarding the signed actors under the company, Lin Nan was a bit worried.

Because, no matter whether Lei Jiayin wants to renew or not, Lin Nan himself doesn't want to renew, at least he doesn't want to cooperate in the form of an agency contract anymore.

"Wait until I discuss it with Yue Jun, let him go talk to Lei Jiayin, first see the latter's attitude and thoughts, and then talk..."

Sometimes, companies in the circle are really funny.

They don't bow their heads until the last moment.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

On major portal websites and Weibo trending lists on the internet, new entertainment information appeared.

After yesterday's meeting, some people chose to follow the higher-ups' attitude and lean upward;

While others were still insisting, waiting, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts. And this group of people was still the mainstream circle of the film and television circle...
