Chapter 566: Lovesick, Liu Yifei

~11 min read 2,080 words

*Once Upon a Time in China and America* was the first to blow the horn of "counterattack" for domestic films.

But facing the destructive *Interstellar*, one doesn't need to think to know that it is absolutely difficult.

And in the film and entertainment section online, the film information that occupied part of the headlines and trending searches was also temporarily suppressed.

Replacing them were the batches of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and big names arriving in Beijing.

Netizens and the mainland entertainment circle were discussing it heatedly, with a feeling of dreaming back to the Hong Kong circle in the 80s and 90s.

Because everyone saw many familiar faces who were very active on the screen in that era, as well as many actors and stars who had retired for many years.

Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Wong Jing, Gordon Chan, Shu Qi... Ng Man-tat, Brigitte Lin, Richie Jen, Chingmy Yau, Sharla Cheung...

"CCTV gave key reports! Almost everyone with a name in the mainland film and television circle received an invitation to the farewell ceremony; this movement is really not small."

Lin Nan glanced at the invitation in Yue Jun's hand and couldn't help but complain: "Not familiar with that family, not on the same path, just messing around..."

"I heard news in the circle that the funeral is set at Mount Babao, and then a chartered plane back to Hong Kong."

Hearing this, Lin Nan understood: "This is because they couldn't get into the special cemetery, so they just went back?"

"Looking at it, it's probably eight or nine out of ten. After all, that person's family composition and past social background are too... that."

"Although there are many contributions to the Hong Kong film industry, the qualifications are not enough. If they really entered Mount Babao, the controversy might be a bit big."

Yue Jun's words make sense; isn't that just it.

"You handle this matter; I'm too lazy to pay attention. I estimate that only Bona and Huayi in the mainland will make a big splash."

Lin Nan said in an indifferent tone; he still has to go to Happy Mahua.

"Good."

Yue Jun nodded; these are all small things.

In the morning, Lin Nan received a call from Yan Fei, saying that the post-production of *Goodbye Mr. Loser* had been completed, and invited him to give some opinions.

Since he happened to have time today, Lin Nan naturally had to go and see this debut film of Happy Mahua!

Yan Fei, Shen Teng, and others were full of expectations for the first big-screen commercial film they created.

More than half an hour later, when Lin Nan drove to Happy Mahua, most people were there, probably all to see the finished film.

"Lin Dao, everyone is waiting for you."

In the conference room, Yan Fei and Peng Damo were the first to greet him in unison. Shen Teng, Ma Li, Yin Zheng, Wang Zhi, and others stood up to greet him one after another.

"Something delayed at the company, so shall we start now?"

Zhang Chen was not there today, so Lin Nan sat in the middle position.

"Damo, you can start."

After Yan Fei shouted, several people immediately pulled the thick dark curtains, and the conference room suddenly turned into a small cinema.

The film was full of laughs from the beginning; a wedding banquet and a few lines of dialogue established the character settings of all the characters.

The color processing was also very careful; the switching of lens colors signaled the beginning of a dream, and the slightly yellowish picture implied that this was an illusory beautiful dream.

The two-hour film can be said to be very complete, with almost no points to complain about.

After all, it is a stage play script that Happy Mahua has used for many years. After film adaptation, they will only try their best to do it best, not worse.

Waking up from a dream in the morning, the person by the pillow is the best. This is also the most perfect ending!

Lin Nan took the initiative to applaud and affirmed: "It's really good."

"Thank you for the praise, Lin Dao."

"With this sentence from Lin Dao, it's half successful! Haha..." Shen Teng flattered.

Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Yin Zheng, Song Yang, and others were all full of joy.

No actor does not long to enter the big screen; being recognized by Lin Nan means the film really has a chance, and they are the same!

At this time, Yan Fei and Peng Damo exchanged glances, and the former spoke:

"Lin Dao, you have also seen the film. The finished film we shot is like this, but there is a very worrying problem now."

"That is, can some of the lines, content, and shots in the film pass the review?"

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then realized, and nodded with a smile: "There is indeed a lot of irony, allusion, and suggestive content."

Many lines in the film just now were very interesting, such as:

"Qiu Ya is a good girl; I don't regret divorcing for her," "Do you think you are the principal? You can sleep with whoever you want?", Meng Te's dad's line "I'm just puzzled, how could a man like me give birth to such a sissy?"...

These lines all allude to many negative aspects of real society. But Yan Fei and Peng Damo are not big directors and don't have special treatment!

A group of actors looked at Lin Nan in silence; review is a knife on the head of the film industry.

Peng Damo added: "Especially the shots where Xia was cut off from information and directly 'plagiarized' Zhou Jielun and Eason Chan..."

"Originally thought that after hitting someone, Zhou Jielun would no longer appear in the music scene?"

"Hmm."

"Submit for review; if there are problems later, I will solve them."

Lin Nan said with a smile; he was a bit late to realize. Yan Fei and Peng Damo inviting him to watch the finished film today was secondary; the main purpose was to want this sentence from him.

Sure enough, hearing this promise, a group of people were instantly excited.

"Thank you, Lin Dao; now our hanging hearts have instantly landed. Haha..."

…………

*No Man's Land* was also nominated for Golden Horse, but only for some marginal awards, so Ning Hao simply didn't go.

However, for the mainland film circle, this is still an annual grand event for the Chinese film industry.

Because there is a consensus in the industry, that is: Chinese Three Golds, Golden Horse is the first.

At this moment, there are only two days left until the closing ceremony, and the counting results of the online voting predicting this year's winners have also come out, which is exactly the same as the views in the circle.

Many well-known filmmakers in the industry have publicly stated which films and actors they are optimistic about and support.

Among them, the Golden Bear film *Black Coal, Thin Ice*, Chen Kexin's *Dearest*, and Zhang Yimou and Teacher Gong Li's *Coming Home* can be said to be what everyone expects.

In everyone's eyes, these three films have enough overwhelming strength to sweep all major awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress, and basically there will be no accidents.

When Liu Yifei went to Red Star Dock, she was blocked by reporters halfway, and among the questions asked, there was one about Golden Horse.

She was quite blunt and voted for Teacher Gong Li without hesitation; the news has already come out now.

"Look, this is the disadvantage of marriage. Yifei expresses an attitude, and in the media's mouth, it becomes the public attitude of Golden Horse Best Actress Liu Yifei and Golden Lion Lin Dao Nan, tsk tsk..."

Lin Nan felt that Ning Hao probably fought with Xing Aina again recently, otherwise he wouldn't say such things.

Looking at the figure standing at the half-open door behind Ning Hao, Lin Nan decided—continue digging the hole.

"I think it's quite good; Yifei can fully represent me.

I'm puzzled, what's wrong with you? Is it a feeling about marriage? Or do you have an opinion on that sister? Even the disadvantage of marriage! Tsk tsk tsk."

Sure enough, Director Ning took the bait.

"Hey, speaking of this matter, I have a belly full of complaints. I guest-starred in *Mr. Six*, right? Huayi specifically held a wrap-up banquet for me; you say eat, eat, they called a lot of female artists to accompany the wine..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, made a mistake?"

Lin Nan teased subconsciously, but the next second he noticed the door opened a little, and the face at the door was already very gloomy!

"Your grandfather made a mistake! Do you think I'm Jackie Chan? It's just..."

Looking at Ning Hao's sudden stammering, Lin Nan couldn't help but swallow his saliva; he was a bit suspicious if he had played too big?

But he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Just what?"

"Just that the perfume on the clothes is very mixed, and there are many people who entered the arms? It is worthy of being high-end goods, the fragrance is lasting... and lipstick..."

Xing Aina's voice carried a chill, a bit cold.

Only to see Ning Hao shiver, froze for two seconds, before turning back. But there was no one there.

"I just drank some wine, maybe I was taken advantage of..."

Lin Nan got up, didn't dare to pay attention to Ning Hao's defense, and whispered: "That, I'll go back first. You and Sister Na talk well, there's no big problem, relax..."

He finally knew why Ning Hao called him over; this is a cold war, looking for him to talk. No wonder he didn't go to Golden Horse; if he ran away now, he would probably be even worse when he came back.

Ning Hao also realized, "I damn offended you, why are you messing with me like this?"

"Director Ning, I said I really didn't think so much, do you believe it?

Furthermore, you dare to drink too much at Huayi's wine bureau? It's lucky you didn't get up in bed."

After speaking, Lin Nan really didn't dare to stay long and ran away in a slip. Hope Ning Hao is okay!

……

Entering the second week, *Interstellar* was obviously going downhill compared to the first week.

78.8 million on the eighth day, 72 million on the ninth day.

But even with this box office, it still squeezed several domestic films until they couldn't breathe.

That *Once Upon a Time in China and America* can be considered standard among domestic films.

But the first-day box office only barely reached about 15.4 million, and it rose to about 19.8 million on the second day. It can be seen that the box office potential is not much, and the stamina is not very good.

"Lin Nan, how do you think I should give her this surprise?"

There is only one best friend, and Liu Yifei is already preparing for Shu Chang's birthday. In the past, they ate cake together every year; this year, isn't there something else.

"Are you talking?"

Liu Yifei pouted and glared at Lin Dao. The latter was looking at the email sent by the Oscars; the ballot had been officially mailed out.

"Hmm, how to give her a surprise? Then inadvertently, let her be envied. She is also a vain character, exactly the same as you."

"Who said I'm vain? You're talking nonsense."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan fiercely, as if she wanted to bite someone.

"Mom said it; she said you loved wearing flowers when you were a child, whether it was fake flowers or real flowers, you always liked to wear them on your head; everyone in the family said you were a lovesick person!"

Lin Nan said playfully; he also has a backer, not just you Liu!

Embarrassing things, you also have them!

Sure enough, she was in a hurry, she was in a hurry!

Liu Yifei with a shy and angry expression was quite cute; she "embarrassed and angry" looked for a pillow:

"How could mom tell you these things, how could she be like this..."

Unable to find the crime tool, she could only do it herself. The round and perky buttocks pressed directly on Lin Nan.

"I want to... silence!"
