Chapter 546

In the early morning, the bureau quietly issued this year's No. 100 red-headed document.

That bright red header name concisely encompassed the direct management departments of all domestic television and broadcasting systems from top to bottom.

It also covered major state-owned enterprises and public institutions including movie channels, the upstream and downstream of the film and television production industry, and China Film Group.

The intensity and coverage were evident.

Although the document was titled "Notice on Strengthening... Production and Communication Management."

But everyone knew that this was the "Ban on Disgraced Artists" that the entire industry had been arguing about, paying attention to, and worrying about for a long time.

Media from all walks of life moved upon hearing the news, and official media, print media, and online media all scrambled to report it. On platforms like Weibo and Tieba, the topic of this news exploded directly.

"In the early morning, the relevant departments issued a 'Ban on Disgraced Artists' to strictly rectify the film and entertainment industry."

"According to the document content: stars and practitioners with 'drug-related' and 'prostitution' behaviors were explicitly named and banned, while moral issues such as infidelity were not mentioned."

"All film and television cultural works such as movies, TV series, web dramas, micro-movies, and TV variety shows participated in or produced by disgraced artists are prohibited from being broadcast without deletion or remaking and passing review. Works that have already been screened or broadcast must all be taken down, and can be re-broadcast after modification..."

……

The media had already made a detailed interpretation of the document, and the hanging hearts of the film and television circle could finally land.

Even if some people were unwilling to accept it from the bottom of their hearts, or even resisted, they couldn't change the fact that it was a foregone conclusion; they could only resign themselves to fate!

The internet was already in an uproar, with people saying all sorts of things.

"This wave, Lin Nan Film Industry, Enlight, and Wanda are at the forefront of the industry. Lin Dao really has great courage, awesome!"

"Oh wow, several unreleased films have been hit. 'My Sassy Girl 2', 'Tiny Times 4', 'The Dead End'..."

"If that's the case, wouldn't the first three parts of 'Tiny Times' all have to be taken down for 'trimming'? 'From Vegas to Macau', 'Back to 1942'... many movies and TV series have to undergo surgery, otherwise they'll all be finished!"

"These bastards, it would be fine if their scenes weren't many, but if they are the leads, then it's really screwing the producers, haha..."

"You can ban them for a while, but you can't ban them for a lifetime; my idol will make a comeback one day."

"What kind of shitty document... a bunch of sick people messing around every day..."

……

Lin Nan was also woken up from his dream by a phone call, and was even grumbled at by a dazed Liu Yifei, who complained that he didn't set his phone to silent when sleeping.

Miss Liu in the early morning had a bit of a temper; she was not to be trifled with!

Simply, he took the opportunity to get up early, wash up, and sit in the living room to chat.

"Let me tell you, the circle is already in a mess; which company doesn't have some movies or TV series with problems? Everyone has to get busy.

Wang Wei should have sent you a message, right? As a video website and a copyright giant, Tudou has already received the document notification."

"Hmm, I saw it. For works that have already been broadcast, TV stations and theater chains will definitely have strict requirements. But for online broadcast channels, as long as they aren't the leads, it should be relatively looser."

Lin Nan said while yawning. This could be considered a domestic 'unspoken rule'; Tudou would probably take them down first and then see the situation later.

The red-headed document issued from above today can definitely be considered one of the important milestones in the development of the domestic film and television industry.

Above the unscrupulous entertainment circle, there was finally a butcher's knife with some deterrent power.

Although it couldn't guarantee that the unhealthy trends in the circle would be completely killed, as long as someone showed their head and was caught, they definitely wouldn't be able to dodge this knife!

"What I'm most interested in right now is what Bona and Edko Films are doing? Haha..."

On the phone, Wang Changtian laughed unscrupulously, truly like a villain boss!

…………

All morning, the film and entertainment circles didn't stop.

Hong Kong and Taiwan were also paying attention to and hotly discussing this "Ban," because the current environment is to go north and develop in the mainland.

Since the document has been issued from above, artists and companies that want to come over to make money have to consider the matter of strict self-discipline!

Not long after Lin Nan arrived at the company, he heard that "My Sassy Girl 2," which was originally planned to be released in October, had decisively announced its withdrawal.

This was the first film to be "executed on the spot" after the "red-headed document" was issued, and many people in the circle were still a bit sighing, giving people a ridiculous feeling of sympathy for the dead.

Lin Nan was no longer interested in these, after all, this was an ending he knew at the beginning of the month.

"How is 'Breakup Buddies'?"

He called Ning Hao; Lin Nan guessed that this guy must be paying attention to the news from the theater chains and online reviews at all times, and probably didn't even have the mind to gossip.

"Hmm, good, very good! Haha..."

This series of words was enough to explain Ning Hao's mood at this time.

"Speak human language."

"There are no reviews yet, but the theater chain data forwarded to me by Enlight shows that the screening rate is around 46%, and the attendance rate is as high as 80%; this data is the best among my several films!"

Hearing these two pieces of data, Lin Nan couldn't help but nod.

Although it would enter the National Day holiday in two days, the screening rate would definitely be cut to just over 30%, but this screening rate was still enough!

"Congratulations, based on this data, the first-day box office has a chance to touch 100 million."

"Really?"

"Hmm, about that."

After two or three seconds of silence, a burst of loud laughter erupted from the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, I was originally thinking of 80 million... Congratulations, congratulations, haha..."

Lin Nan was really afraid that this guy would be happy to the point of stupidity, and complained: "Stop laughing, be careful not to laugh yourself to death; that would be a tragedy, and the Bad Monkey employees would have to call 120!"

"Is that how you talk?"

After Ning Hao retorted, his tone quieted down, and he hesitated before shouting: "Lin Nan."

"Speak."

"About the Huanxi matter, just pretend it never happened... I can't compare to you; this game has more pros than cons for me. After being in the mix for so many years, I can't just keep messing around in small ways, right?"

"Capital is divided into good and bad; be careful not to get trapped, don't be swayed."

As a friend, Lin Nan could only say so much.

Ning Hao was silent for a while, "The things you said at the dinner table last time, about directors taking the blame, I thought about it, and it makes a lot of sense.

So I decided to put down the director's job after 'Breakup Buddies' and take a good rest for a few years.

But it's not retiring from the circle, but trying things like producer, actor, producer, etc.; that way, there shouldn't be any blame-taking matters, right? Hehe..."

Lin Nan was stunned, "Good guy, I've become the sinner who made you reduce production?!"

"Hmm? Don't say, there are factors in that regard!

After the Huanxi change and reorganization are completed and the trading resumes and it goes public, I can stand tall when dealing with you, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan was speechless for a moment, "What kind of ghost talk is that?"

"Haha, just venting, striving for self-improvement."

This phone call even brought out some "sincere words," the kind between friends!

…………

In the afternoon, reviews of "Breakup Buddies" appeared online one after another, more and more.

Much as expected, after ignoring the "professional critics," it was almost one-sided praise.

"Under the shell of a vulgar hunting trip is a heart chasing art; 'Breakup Buddies' is a comedy, and also a 'tragedy' for middle-aged men!"

"Director Ning is awesome! Although he looks like a bandit, he is a proper prodigal son, still so talented!"

"Circumcision, kill-ma-t, car-sex Avatar, the most dazzling national style, role-playing in nightclubs...

Literary films, realistic themes, commercial films, Director Ning Hao can handle them all with ease, a genius!"

"Lin Dao is right, this film has the potential of 1 billion, it feels a bit better than 'Lost in Thailand'!"

……

The momentum of "Breakup Buddies" completely crushed other films released these days, including "Dearest."

The entire film circle was waiting to see the first-day box office data to estimate the box office potential of this film.

The next morning.

Lin Nan was exhausted from the night, holding Miss Liu, and the two were still in their dreams.

And the news from the outside world was already buzzing. Among them were news about "Breakup Buddies," and also about Lin Nan.

"Co-produced by Bad Monkey Film Industry and Lin Nan Film Industry, directed by Director Ning Hao, produced by Lin Dao Nan, and starring Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Yuan Quan, Zhao Liying, Ma Su, Zhang Li, and others, the film 'Breakup Buddies' made a strong first-day box office of 103 million! Breaking through like a bamboo..."

……

"Reprinted from Hollywood Film Daily:

Produced by Crystal Film Industry and directed by Lin Dao Nan, the film 'Manchester by the Sea' has officially entered the Golden Globe Awards nomination competition stage..."

……

"Reprinted from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announcement: The 2014 Academy member invitation list has been announced.

Chinese director Lin Nan, due to his outstanding contributions and excellent achievements in major international film festivals, has been nominated and recommended by several branches and is now one of the Academy's invitees, judge term: permanent!"

……

For the film and television circle, the news that "Breakup Buddies" broke 100 million on its first day didn't seem as explosive as Lin Nan's news?

Everyone originally thought his film was aimed at the Oscars, but didn't expect there to be an extra Golden Globe! Is this going to clear both the Golden Globes and the Oscars?

Not only that, the invitation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—a lifetime judge, this is also a big deal!

You know, Zhang Ziyi, who has long since become a "fallen phoenix," is only barely maintaining her international status by virtue of her status as a lifetime judge of the Oscars, barely suppressing a group of big flowers in the mainland!

"Lin Dao invited to be an Oscar judge? And competing for the Golden Globe Awards?"

"Oh my, what does this make domestic film festivals think? What does it make the Golden Rooster think?"

"This kid is quite capable of tossing. But it's also good, I'll have to talk to him properly about the director of 'The Great Wall'!"

……

Lin Nan was woken up by Liu Yifei.

Miss Liu, refreshed, rosy, and tender, was sitting on the bed, flipping through her phone while pushing Lin Nan.

"Lazy pig, get up quickly, it's all your news. Many people are tagging us both, all congratulatory messages..."

……

Need to overhaul Chapter 686, so is there a second chapter tonight? If there is, how many? Can't guarantee...
