Chapter 522

"Controlled by Sohu, jointly produced by New Classics Media and Wanda, the 'Diors Man' series feature film 'Jian Bing Xia' was officially launched today."

"'Jian Bing Xia' is Dong Chengpeng's (Da Peng) directorial debut, and the film will be jointly performed by nearly fifty well-known actors in the industry."

"It is reported that the production side has invited the internationally renowned action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme to be one of the leads, appearing as himself!"

"Da Peng and 'Jian Bing Xia' are worth the anticipation and attention of countless audiences; the film circle will welcome another new commercial film director!"

……

On Weibo, media, and portal websites, a large number of hot searches and press releases for "Jian Bing Xia" appeared.

Giving the industry and the entire internet the feeling that a "film masterpiece" was about to be born.

Because those promotional press releases were indeed very grand, making people gasp!

Nearly fifty actor-stars, international superstars participating, three giants jointly producing... no need to think, this is definitely a blockbuster!

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the news online; his emotions were a bit complicated at this moment, feeling both happy and nervous.

The reason for the happiness was that he and Liu Yifei were taking Watching Lao Lin to "visit" Lin Nan Pictures, Tiangong Color... Watching Lao Lin was very happy.

Seeing his son's career doing so well, the father was certainly happy.

He had completely immersed himself in the greetings of "Lin Dao," "Boss Lady," and "Hello Uncle." For over an hour, the smile on his face never stopped.

As for the nervousness? Lin Nan was also truly nervous, and a bit uneasy!

Because in two hours, Liu Xiaoli would be landing at the capital airport with the relatives from home.

Lin Nan himself felt a bit like "an ugly daughter-in-law meeting the in-laws," which was very speechless; he is a big man!

"Not bad, really not bad. This building, the annual rent must be quite expensive, right?"

Watching Lao Lin was originally nodding with a smile, but suddenly thought of the allusion "living in the capital is not easy," and then asked Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"Uncle, there's no rent; Lin Nan bought this in full." Liu Yifei said with a sweet smile beside Lin Nan.

"Bought it? That must have cost a lot of money..."

Watching Lao Lin muttered, and didn't continue to ask exactly how much it cost, otherwise Lin Nan really wouldn't know how to answer.

Say it cost hundreds of millions? Watching Lao Lin had never seen so much money in his life, and he would definitely be scared!

After ten o'clock, Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei and his father home.

At the hotel, Miss Liu had already given notice in advance that the former would send lunch to the house on time with a special car.

In addition, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also had to prepare; the two of them were going to the airport to pick up the plane, especially Lin Nan, the prospective son-in-law and prospective grandson-in-law.

"Xixi, I'm a bit nervous, although I've met them before... but I'm still nervous, this time it's everyone."

"Hmm? How rare, you actually know how to be nervous? But don't be afraid, big sister will protect you! Hahaha..."

Liu Yifei patted her chest and teased Lin Nan. A pair of small hills also trembled slightly, paired with Miss Liu's face that could kill without paying a debt, it was simply a weapon of mass destruction.

…………

The first-day box office of 32.9 million indicates that the final installment of Enlight's "The Four" series will have a decent closing box office.

And in the film market, not to mention "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" at the end of this month, the films in September have also begun to warm up.

From "The Expendables 3" at the beginning of the month, "But Always" by Xie Tingfeng and Gao Yuanyuan, to Chen Kexin's "Dearest"... finally Ning Hao's "Breakup Buddies" used to impact the National Day slot.

Looking at it this way, it seems that in the remaining months of this year, the mainland film market won't be able to stay quiet.

Especially at noon, the film press conference jointly held by China Film Group, Youzu, LeTV, Xiaoma, and Huayi added another fire to the New Year slot.

That film directed by John Woo, starring Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye-kyo, and others, known as the Oriental "Titanic," "The Crossing (Part 1)," was scheduled for December 2nd, and the smell of gunpowder in the film circle instantly became much stronger.

Han Sanping also called Lin Nan, and it was slightly noisy over there:

"They used big data to search and profile the fans and audiences of the creative team of 'The Crossing (Part 1)' and made a prediction for the film's box office performance!"

Lin Nan joked while driving: "Listening to your excited tone, the prediction result is very good?"

"Hahaha, that's right. Big data predicts that the box office of 'The Crossing (Part 1)' will exceed 1 billion, and the box office of the second part will increase by 20% on the basis of the first part. Although it's just a prediction, the credibility is still quite high..."

Liu Yifei in the passenger seat covered her mouth and giggled; Lin Nan had belittled this film to the extreme in front of her.

Lin Nan smacked his lips and joked: "Recently, that group of people is also doing big data predictions for Jiang Wen and 'Gone with the Bullets.'

Saying that Jiang Wen's fans, 'Ginger Threads,' are a group with a male proportion as high as 69.91%, generally engaged in occupations with active thinking and strong creativity, and are even more 'three-high' elite groups with 'high education,' 'high income,' and 'high positions.'

The box office guarantee for 'Gone with the Bullets' will be over 1.2 billion... hmm, Jiang Wen also agrees with this prediction data!"

Han Sanping seemed to hear the mockery in Lin Nan's words.

"You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe 'The Crossing' can explode, nor do I believe this big data nonsense!"

"Why are you so stubborn..."

Liu Yifei on the side finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Chairman Han, after the movie is released, isn't it enough to see the result? Arguing about this now has no meaning."

The call suddenly went quiet; on both sides, only the noise of many people and the honking of car horns could be heard.

"Haha, Yifei is right too. Where are you going now?"

"Airport to pick up the plane, Yifei's family."

Just after Lin Nan finished speaking, Miss Liu punched him. "Oh, no. It's my and Yifei's elders and relatives; isn't the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow?"

"Hmm, then drive carefully on the road, I'll hang up first."

"Okay, Chairman Han."

Several cars from Hongxingwu followed behind and drove towards the airport together.

Just past 12 o'clock, timing it, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan got out of the car and looked towards the exit.

Liu Xiaoli and the others should be coming out soon.

Those media reporters who have been "stationed" outside the capital airport for a long time are like cats smelling fishy.

Their lenses were greedily pointed at Lin Nan and the other in the distance... it wasn't time to swarm over yet!

"It's Mom, Grandma, and the others, let's go!"

Liu Yifei's eyes were faster; she grabbed Lin Nan's hand and ran towards the airport exit, and several assistants and drivers also followed.

Liu Xiaoli was wearing a dark ladies' long skirt, wearing sunglasses, with an outstanding temperament, pushing luggage with her sister's family, surrounding the two elders in the middle.

Although they occasionally chatted on video calls before, Lin Nan was indeed a little nervous at this moment.

"Grandma..."

Liu Yifei rushed up like a little girl and hugged the elder. Lin Nan followed behind, his face full of smiles, calling everyone one by one.

"Lin Nan, you look very spirited today."

The old lady held her granddaughter in one hand and teased Lin Nan.

"Maybe it's because I'm seeing you two; I've been very excited for the past two days." Lin Nan smiled.

"Flatterer, you said you were nervous when you came!"

Liu Yifei came out of her grandmother's arms, smiled, and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, dismantling him mercilessly.

"Xixi, get in the car quickly. The reporters are swarming over."

Lin Nan scanned left and right, took the suitcase from Liu Xiaoli's hand, and said hurriedly. Several assistants and drivers also immediately began to move the luggage.

"Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave in a while."

Liu Yifei held the elder's arm and walked towards Lin Nan's car. With assistants leading the way, one car certainly wouldn't be enough.

And Lin Nan led the people, staying behind to cover the rear.

"Everyone, don't chase. The elders just got off the plane and are very tired; don't bring that set from the circle over here."

"Lin Dao, are these Yifei's elders? Are they here for the engagement ceremony?"

The Sohu reporter was quick-mouthed and asked first.

Lin Nan nodded, "They are all family elders; they must be here for our engagement. Heh..."

"Lin Dao, the location of your and Yifei's engagement is still a mystery; are you not planning to invite the media?" Sina grabbed the initiative.

"We are not planning to disclose the situation of the engagement scene to the outside world, and we will not invite the media. It was originally a private matter, and we don't like it to be noisy."

"What about the wedding then? Can it be open? You two are public figures, with countless fans..."

"We'll see."

Seeing that everyone had gotten into the car, Lin Nan was relieved. After brushing them off, he turned back and walked towards the motorcade.

A group of reporters chased after Lin Nan, asking questions, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Only after sitting in the driver's seat did Lin Nan finally have some peace.

Liu Yifei was in the passenger seat, Liu Xiaoli and her daughter were in the back seat, and the others were in other cars.

"We're going home now. Xixi, you notify the hotel that they can deliver the meal."

"Hmm, okay."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei took out her phone.

The efficiency of the reporters must be faster than Lin Nan's driving speed.

Before they even got home, it had already been reported online and on Weibo, with photos.

"At noon today, Lin Dao Nan and Liu Yifei picked up a group of relatives at the airport. Including Ms. Liu Xiaoli's parents, sister..."

"Lin Dao and Liu Yifei's engagement location is still unknown; they decline media visits and reports..."

……

Many people in the film and television circle noticed this news.

"Oh my, 48 hours later, Lin Dao and Liu Yifei should be entertaining relatives and friends, haha."

"The engagement banquet didn't invite me? Really unreasonable..."

……

Lin Nan underestimated this group of media.

When the cars returned to the villa area, he and Liu Yifei found that only a few hours later, many "media vehicles" had appeared outside.

Among them was the famous Fengxing Studio; were they prepared to squat? Or were they coming openly!

Because Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were highly unlikely to hold the engagement ceremony and banquet at home, they would definitely have to go out!

Then tailing the vehicles and following Lin Nan and the others was a blatant plot. This way they would definitely be able to find the engagement location, and then find a way to sneak in!

Watching Lao Lin did what a father should do to the extreme, even surpassing it.

He used all his eloquence and vocabulary for his whole life on the dinner table today, just to express that Lin Nan would not let down or fail Liu Yifei.

It made Lin Nan's eyes a bit blurry and unable to open; perhaps it was because he had been busy all day and was too sleepy?
