Chapter 574: We Are One!

The premiere of *Gone with the Bullets* is the focus of industry attention.

This film is the second part of the "Beiyang Series" after *Let the Bullets Fly*, as Jiang Wen said.

With a pearl in front, in the eyes of countless people, *Gone with the Bullets*, with an investment of 300 million, is naturally that more wonderful big production!

Countless audiences, film fans, and industry insiders are full of expectations for this IMAX 3D blockbuster by Jiang Wen, wishing they could see it first.

But Lin Nan didn't have that idea, and he didn't want to suffer that crime.

After all, when Jiang Wen told him the script on the plane, it was quite hypnotic.

It's just that Liu Yifei will have to suffer, as she will represent both herself and Lin Nan to support Jiang Wen's film premiere.

Lin Nan had persuaded Miss Liu that she didn't have to go, and he only needed to greet Jiang Wen.

But Liu Yifei's personality is like that; when she gets serious, she is very stubborn and headstrong.

And the reason she gave also made Lin Nan unable to refute, very moved:

"We are getting married, your business is my business. If you can't go, naturally I have to go. We are one!

Besides, I am not a little woman, but a big woman, a big producer! In the future, there will definitely be no shortage of my appearance in social interactions at home."

The proud look of Liu Yifei after saying these words was simply fascinating. Lin Nan immediately held her face and bit it hard.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Director Lu Yang, starring Zhang Zhen, Watching Shu Chang, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie, and others.

The second part of the martial arts film *Brotherhood of Blades* series has been submitted to the Film Bureau today and has officially entered the review stage. It is expected to land in theaters next year."

"Directed by Xu Jinglei, written by Wang Shuo, starring Wu Yifan, Wang Likun, Xu Jinglei, Re Yizha, and others.

The romance film *Somewhere Only We Know* was set for February 10 today. The film will span three major slots: New Year, Spring Festival, and Valentine's Day!"

Lin Nan flipped through the news online idly, and then glanced at Zhu Yawen sitting opposite.

"Already set up on your own?"

"The contract only officially expires on the 31st. Besides, how dare a small studio like mine use the term 'set up on my own'?

At most, it's working for myself, just like Watching Shu Chang. Can't compare to your Producer Liu, such a big company serves only her!"

Zhu Yawen said quite casually, but Lin Nan could still see that he was a bit lacking in confidence.

After all, Wang Jinghua's business ability is one of the best in the circle.

And not renewing the contract means that Zhu Yawen will have to rely entirely on himself to find plays and talk about announcements in the future, and there may be a significant sense of gap in the early stage.

"You two stop chatting, lunch has been delivered, go downstairs quickly."

Liu Yifei shouted at the study door and then went downstairs.

"Okay, coming."

Lin Nan waved at Old Zhu, signaling to eat first. "Let's go, you are just here today. If you came tomorrow, I would have already boarded the plane."

"Then my luck is really not bad, hehe..."

Four people, six dishes, and two soups, lunch was just dealt with simply like this.

Hearing that Zhu Yawen was going to run his own studio, Watching Shu Chang also chattered and gave some pointers as a "senior."

But don't say, she really has something; it seems she has indeed accumulated a lot of experience over the years!

As a long-time friend and dead party, Lin Nan will only give him some help in critical situations.

Because only a proper sense of distance is true respect for each other.

But these are enough. After all, almost everyone in the circle knows Zhu Yawen's relationship with him, and there will almost be no one to trip him up.

In the film market, the protagonists of *The Crossing (Part 1)* have not boarded the ship, but the film has already completely sunk.

John Woo, under the ridicule, belittlement, and abuse of the whole internet, ran back to Hong Kong directly.

He clearly stated that he refused to accept any interviews about this film afterwards and would not express any views on *The Crossing* again.

It was as if the film's life or death had nothing to do with him. Let the 5 production parties handle the mess themselves.

In the eyes of peers in the mainland film circle, this behavior and speech are really a bit unclassy.

The film has only been released for 13 days, and the director actually shamelessly passed the buck and ran away himself?

You know, even Feng Xiaogang said: As long as the audience buys tickets for my film, even if they scold me fiercely and ugly, I will take it!

Many industry insiders complained and despised in private, John Woo is a "runaway" recidivist, didn't he run away like this back then?

The former Hollywood film giant MGM was ruined by him and almost went bankrupt. Even the senior management resigned because of him!

Looking at John Woo again, he patted his butt and ran back to Hong Kong, still plated with a layer of Hollywood gold, and still served as his big director.

Now the same thing happened again, but the object of being pitted changed from MGM to China Film Group, LeTV, and Huayi.

It is certain that there will be no future for both sides. John Woo has also completely defeated his character and appeal in the mainland film industry and film market.

Packed his luggage in advance, then packed it into boxes, Lin Nan just waited to set off tomorrow morning.

But when he was being sticky with Liu Yifei at home in the afternoon, he was still disturbed by work matters.

"The price of *The Journey of Flower*, you and Director Jiang go to talk to Mango TV in two days, just tell me the result."

"Hmm, okay, Lin Dao.

There is one more thing, Shiyue Culture said that the finished film of *Monkey King: Hero is Back* will be completely finished in about a week to ten days. You might not be able to come back, right?"

Lin Nan knew what Yue Jun meant, wanting to wait for him to come back to see the finished film before deciding on the review submission.

Speaking of which, it is indeed quite ridiculous.

Because of some "parents" who often report, now it is not just animation, even animation films are trembling with fear.

The review process from above has been forced to become very "cautious."

Just afraid of causing some ethereal "negative public opinion" in society after release, and it is often large-scale!

Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, who was wearing cotton socks and teasing the cat on the carpet, and then said to Yue Jun on the other end of the phone:

"When they finish the film, if I haven't come back, you contact Yifei and let her go see it together. She can make decisions on my behalf."

"No problem, the boss and the boss lady are the same, no difference. Hehe..."

"Of course. If she thinks it's good, she can take it directly for review."

While Lin Nan was speaking, he noticed Liu Yifei's movement.

I saw Miss Liu hugging the cat, looking at him with a smile, her watery eyes shining, her red lips parted slightly:

"Hmm, Lin Dao's attitude, this boss lady is quite satisfied!"

It's the end of the year again.

The New Year's Eve parties of major satellite TV stations cannot be at the same time as the Spring Festival Gala, so the best choice is to cross the Gregorian New Year and go towards New Year's Day.

In the last few days of December, it is the time when major satellite TV stations' New Year's Eve parties are crowded together for PK.

Each family competes for the star lineup, compares the number of big names, and whether the most popular stars in the circle throughout the year have been invited.

Among the artists of Lin Nan Pictures, the busiest is Reba, especially these past few days, the announcements are full.

Because in the company, only she takes the star route. And *Running Man* also made the road ahead smooth!

Three cars, driving fast on the way to the airport.

The one in front is Lin Nan's car, but the driver is Liu Yifei.

A capable woolen coat, the thermal shirt inside is tucked into slim jeans, black sunglasses paired with shawl long hair, that face with light makeup is exquisite to the extreme.

Lin Nan sat in the passenger seat, in his eyes, Liu Yifei's side face seemed to be glowing, making people lose their minds!

"I saw the news in the morning, saying that there are a lot of media reporters at the airport, and they have blocked it several times." Liu Yifei said softly.

"Normal, it's the end of the year, it's the time to make money. Major satellite TV stations and the Spring Festival Gala are all rehearsing, don't a large number of stars have to run back and forth? Capital Airport is very lively."

Lin Nan explained to Liu Yifei with a smile, because Miss Liu would never take these announcements, so she didn't have that consciousness.

In her cognition, the end of the year should be a rest. Hmm, eating, drinking, and playing are the most important! Unless it's a film crew, work matters!

"Ah? She is too hard-working, right?"

At 10:30 in the morning, the car stopped slowly outside the airport.

After Lin Nan got off, he really saw the scene of a sea of people in the distance.

Media reporters and fan groups picking up the plane were the most conspicuous. Which star were they chasing?

Liu Yifei stepped on black high-top women's leather shoes and stood beside Lin Nan, the two instantly became eye-catching!

The paparazzi who were still chasing other stars, relying on their keen senses, immediately locked onto this side and were instantly excited.

"Lin Dao, shall we go in with the luggage first?"

"Hmm."

Two assistants got busy, and the other two guarded not far away.

Lin Nan hugged Liu Yifei, smelling the fragrance of her hair and neck, "You can let Changchang come to accompany you, so there can be someone to play with you."

"Hmm, remember one call every day, don't forget. Don't run around with Leonardo, there is a big show there recently... otherwise, hmph hmph hmph..."

Raising her head, Liu Yifei's smile carried a trace of a small "warning," and she waved her fair fist.

"Understood, Producer Liu, don't worry. I will be at three points and one line every day, villa, company, PR activities, absolutely not running around!"

Lin Nan said with a smile, then kissed Liu Yifei's red lips, not expecting to be bitten by her.

A few seconds later, they separated.

"Alright, hurry in. Lest I become reluctant to part..." Liu Yifei complained, her small eyes full of tenderness.

"Hmm, you call Changchang in a while, anyway she is waiting for *Go Away Mr. Tumor* recently, quite free. Wait for me to come back..."

Lin Nan ignored the reporters who surrounded him, but led the two assistants and walked quickly towards the departure hall.

When Lin Nan's back could no longer be seen, Liu Yifei prepared to get in the car and go home.

It's just that the reporters were obviously unwilling to miss this opportunity like this. Who knows how long it will take to see Liu Yifei in person next time!

"Yifei, Lin Dao is going to Hollywood, right?"

"Regarding the six nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, Yifei, how many do you think Lin Dao can get?"

"Golden Globe, Berlin, Oscars, can Lin Dao not miss one this year..."

"Yifei, have you and Lin Dao set the wedding date?"

Liu Yifei, who had one foot in the car, suddenly turned her head and smiled at the camera:

"The awards will start next month, won't we know then? In my heart, Lin Nan is always the most powerful... always!"

It was indeed lively outside the airport. Just as Liu Yifei started the car, other stars got off from cars not far away.

"That car, is it Lin Dao's?"

"Those reporters are shouting Liu Yifei's name. Let's go quickly, while the media's attention is still over there..." Zeng Jia urged.

"That's coming to see Lin Dao off! She is really unparalleled in the limelight..."

In just half an hour, the news of Lin Nan going to Hollywood spread.

"In the morning, Lin Dao Nan and Liu Yifei appeared at the airport. The former went to Hollywood alone and will participate in awards season activities..."

"Woolen coat, slim jeans, women's high-top leather shoes, black sunglasses decorating shawl long hair... Liu Yifei's airport style, stunning!"

"The two hugged for a long time, kissed sweetly..."

Lin Nan's movement almost attracted the attention of the entire mainland film circle.

Because everyone knows that he went there for awards, for the PR of the Golden Globes and Oscars.

If he really goes a step further within these two or three months, that would be really extraordinary!

"Chairman Han, this is the situation now, no one can persuade him. I just mentioned this to him the day before yesterday, and he brushed it off, still using his next commercial film to divert the topic. I talked about Golden Rooster, he mentioned Huabiao..."

La Peikang glanced at the news online and complained to Han Sanping helplessly.

The latter's face was also not good. During the two weeks of *The Crossing (Part 1)* release, he didn't go out and didn't participate in any activities. Because he really had no face to see people, it was shameful!

Han Jia, the leaking cotton-padded jacket, also called to comfort him. Where is it "comforting"? It's simply sprinkling salt on the wound:

"Don't take it to heart, it's already like this...

But I have to say, this film is really too rubbish, I don't know what you were thinking back then? Let me direct it, it's estimated to be better than now, at least the story won't be so rotten. In the end, I fell a big somersault, and didn't preserve my integrity in my later years..."

At this moment, Han Sanping wished he could slaughter John Woo!

He eased his emotions and said in a low voice:

"Golden Globe, Berlin, Oscars, the Oscar awards ceremony is the latest, roughly around late February. After he finishes his work, I will go talk to him."

When Han Sanping said this, he also had no confidence. After all, when filming *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*, he mentioned it to Lin Nan, but it was also brushed off.

"Can he agree? Lin Nan is good at everything, the biggest advantage is youth, but the only disadvantage is also youth.

Young people have a big temper! Isn't this why he has been fighting with Golden Rooster for so many years?"

"The film that won the Silver Bear for Best Director, returned empty-handed! They really can do this kind of broken thing..."

La Peikang rubbed his temples and became more angry as he spoke. The current situation is that he, Han Sanping, and China Film Group really need *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*!

Han Sanping closed his eyes and sighed, as if he had made some decision.

"I'll talk to him first, if it really doesn't work out... then talk about if it doesn't work out."

"What if he still doesn't relent? His current achievements are enough to look down on Golden Rooster, he doesn't look at it at all." La Peikang frowned and asked.

The office was dead silent, and Han Sanping didn't speak for a long time.

La Peikang just looked at his old leader, the "Vulture" who is still famous in the domestic film industry, waiting for his follow-up!

A few minutes later, Han Sanping opened his eyes and sighed again.

"If it really reaches that point, there is still a very unauthentic way."

"What?" La Peikang was confused by the situation and didn't think of it for a while.

I saw Han Sanping's face was bitter, looking at La Peikang, and smiled:

"Did you forget?"

"Hmm?"

"*The Taking of Tiger Mountain* has four production parties!"

At the moment of hearing this, La Peikang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
