Chapter 586

The film and television industry has unknowingly completely entered the era of "letting a hundred flowers bloom" for capital.

Yesterday "The Empress of China" just resumed broadcast, today the good news of the listing application of Tang De Film, where Fan Bingbing's studio is located, also came.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission approved it, and it has been publicized on the official website.

Countless fans and netizens flipped through the prospectus published online for the first time.

They immediately calculated the approximate value of the equity held by Fan Bingbing, the tenth largest shareholder, after the company officially went public, which increased a hundredfold!

That boastful remark from back then, "I don't need to marry into a wealthy family, because I am a wealthy family," following yesterday's two Weibo posts, once again descended on the hot search.

"Have to say, all the way here, she is indeed quite inspirational! She has taken another step forward on the road of capital."

"But capital also has sizes. After all, she is just an actor, no matter how inspirational, she can't become big capital, right?"

Wang Changtian leaned on his boss chair and retorted with a chuckle.

Lin Nan paused and couldn't help but nod; Old Wang's words were not wrong.

Just after returning home, Liu Yifei pointed to the invitation on the coffee table and said to Lin Nan.

"Chairman Wang, calm down, calm down. Didn't I say, let's talk about it at the end of February... laughed me to death..."

"Tsk tsk, waiting for the price to sell, sitting on the ground and raising the price, opening the lion's mouth... your appetite is big!"

Many people are "denouncing" Big Brother, and even the streets are covered with big-character posters, all of Big Brother's black materials over the years, the method is really retro.

This stimulated some people, from illegitimate daughters to failing to teach his son, from treating brothers harshly to private life, writing them one by one on the big-character posters.

"Look, the invitation sent by Weibo, the Weibo Night on the 15th."

Their own "Big Brother" doesn't have the life of a first-tier, nor does he have the talent and pattern, no matter how he is promoted, it's all in vain!

Near noon, the matter from the Hong Kong circle spread on the internet.

"Xixi, you, the fiancée of a great director and shareholder, don't you have to sit in the first row when you go?"

"Being envied and jealous by young actresses and female artists who are receiving awards and performing on stage? Mm, they should not dare to hate!" Watching Shu Chang teased her best friend.

"That won't do, the resident guests are full with 7 people, will not increase, and will not change."

"Also, consider the people in my company again." Old Wang panted and changed the topic.

Lin Nan said to Wang Changtian with a smile, the latter was rarely a bit irritable.

"Hehe, with the current level of popularity, where is there any need to wait until the end of February?"

"What?"

Just after speaking, Wang Changtian's eyes narrowed suddenly:

"Guo Fan's casting is about to end, you also get ready to join the crew." Lin Nan interrupted the two's bickering.

"Advertisers and brand parties are not staring at 'us', but at me!"

Hearing Watching Shu Chang's words, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, because they didn't know either, they hadn't asked recently.

The reason for this is just because Big Brother posted to celebrate, "The... that lasted for nearly three months finally ended successfully with the victory of the righteous side..."

Liu Yifei also couldn't help but laugh, slightly raising her head, the arc of her chin was very beautiful.

"Mm, that's natural. It's just that I don't know who the male lead I'm acting with is?"

"Damn, you damn thing, want to kill the donkey after the mill?"

Even though Wang Changtian wanted to host, he didn't stay.

Lin Nan smiled and spread his hands, "Isn't this what should be? Also, Chairman Wang, there is a grammatical error in your words just now?"

…………

Watching Shu Chang gave a thumbs up and flattered, but was laughed off by Liu Yifei, "You talk too much."

"Just throw it away, the two of us are on the flight on the 7th, it's hard to say if we can come back before the 15th. Weibo Night, this kind of thing, can go or not."

After staying at Enlight for only an hour or so, Lin Nan left.

Lin Nan had a calm look, only fans would be enthusiastic about these activities, desperately cheering for their idols.

You don't know how many advertisers are staring at us, how many audiences are looking forward to the second season being broadcast after the first season, it's countless!"

Watching Shu Chang smacked her lips on the side, "I looked at the list just released on the internet, all are popular actors, stars, and artists."

The capital from an acting background ultimately has an upper limit there.

"Lin Dao is domineering, Producer Liu is domineering, worthy of being a great director and shareholder."

Although they can make a lot of money and seem to have a lot of connections, these are all virtual, like castles in the air.

She glanced at Watching Shu Chang with a bit of pride, "How can it be as vulgar as you say, hehe..."

"Liu Yan? Didn't she go for two episodes already?"

"I'll say the same thing, wait until the end of next month to see the market feedback."

"I'm talking about resident guests, it's Bao Bei'er."

Because they can't create the most core resources, of course they don't have the right to speak. The money in their hands is also the least valuable thing in the circle!

"Give a definitive word, second season?"

The key is that many contents can't be refuted, which is helpless!

Immediately following, another batch of Hong Kong stars ran out to take sides and support, expressing their stance.

Even the Huang-surname artist whose butt was obviously crooked before ran out to fish in troubled waters, saying that he was never crooked! The degree of excitement and shamelessness is breathtaking.

After nagging for so long, Wang Changtian finally "showed his dagger", looking at Lin Nan with a smile.

The New Year's schedule is still continuing.

During the New Year's Day, an animated feature film "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" with an investment of only 10 million performed quite brightly, which can be called a small dark horse.

This made the circle have a trace of expectation for those animated feature films not made for young children, which is indeed a blue ocean.

And "Monkey King: Hero is Back" from Shiyue Culture under Tiangong Color was also logically discussed by the film industry.

Because although this animated film is still under review, Shiyue Culture's official Weibo has already emphasized that this is a very passionate film, and its target audience is not children, but all ages.

The films for the Spring Festival schedule are all ready to go, one bigger than the other.

"Somewhere Only We Know", directed by Xu Jinglei and starring Wu Yifan;

"Dragon Blade", directed by Li Rengang and starring Jackie Chan;

"From Vegas to Macau 2", directed by Wang Jing and starring Zhou Runfa, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Jialing;

And "Wolf Totem", directed by the internationally famous great director Jean-Jacques Annaud and starring Feng Shaofeng.

These four films can be said to be the most competitive blockbusters of the entire Spring Festival schedule. The propaganda war is also being fought in full swing.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were not left out by any film's production team, and invitations to the premiere were piled up.

It's really that no matter if you have time or mood to participate, anyway, my etiquette must be in place, not letting you pick faults.

……

From February 2005, when Lin Nan received his first international film festival award, the Silver Bear for Best Director, it has been 10 years now.

After so many years, someone finally found him to be the jury president of a film festival.

Alas, it's really pitiful!

"So, you are going to refuse?" Tong Gang asked with a look of shock.

"Director Tong, don't have this expression first, it makes me look like I committed murder and arson."

"Why do you think I have a surprised expression? No director has ever refused this kind of errand!"

"In the morning, people from the company told me that the bureau wanted me to be the jury president of the 5th Capital International Film Festival, and I was very happy on the spot when I heard it.

But my film plan has already been made, no time. Especially this year, there are a lot of things, simply can't avoid it."

Lin Nan looked at Tong Gang with a sincere expression of "I really didn't lie to you".

"Are you sure it's not an excuse found to perfunctory and shirk?"

"Sure, my script is already done. Plan to start preparing the crew in March, wrap up before the first half of the year. Get married in the second half of the year, and see if I should start another film."

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Tong Gang had nothing to say.

Lin Nan is the most suitable candidate in the country, the youngest great director, and also the hot favorite for this Golden Globe, Berlin, and Oscar... possessing enough gimmicks and influence, it's a pity.

"No time, no time... then can only find foreign ones."

"Or should I recommend Ning Hao to you? Forget it, he doesn't have big awards.

Jiang Wen? Guess his mood might not be good lately, no mood to work... mm, then the bureau should find it itself."

After thinking for a long time, I really couldn't find a suitable one, Lin Nan could only give up.

He also felt a pity in his heart, after missing this time, I don't know when will be the next time I have the chance to enjoy the addiction of being a jury president? Especially film festivals outside, for example, the European three major!

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Lin Nan prepared to leave the Film Bureau. Unexpectedly, when he was about to go out of the office door, he was called back by Tong Gang again.

"Director Tong?"

"This time I wish you success... look further, you are still young..."

"Mm, got it."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the second half of Tong Gang's sentence for a while, Lin Nan still responded.

……

Time, day by day passed, the circle and the internet also became more and more lively.

Just because the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which is highly concerned domestically this year, will be held in only 7 days.

All this is because Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea" was nominated for six Golden Globe awards.

Among them, the ones most valued by the official and the domestic film industry are the two awards for Best Picture and Best Director.

Because it has been too long since the last time a domestic Chinese film person won a Golden Globe award, so long that it has been 22 years!

That is the Golden Globe Best Foreign Language Film Award that year — Chen Kaige!

"Yifei and I are on the flight the day after tomorrow morning, after attending the awards ceremony, we may not come back immediately. If there is anything, you handle it well."

Lin Nan said while flipping through the list of performers for the annual meeting and signing budget sheets, urging Yue Jun.

"I was just about to tell you, Lin Dao, Lei Jiayin's contract..."

"Didn't talk a few months ago?"

Lin Nan asked in surprise, logically speaking, it should have been talked about a few months ago!

"Too busy and forgot. If the secretary hadn't reminded me today, I wouldn't have remembered. I thought we had already talked, hehe..."

"Also, two months?"

"Right, his contract expires in mid-March. I'm thinking of talking to him these few days, and he happens to be in the capital."

Lin Nan nodded, then smiled:

"Then I'll leave it to you. I guess he hasn't taken the initiative to remind the company, he's also waiting for the company to speak first, and he has no intention of leaving."

"This is for sure."

Yue Jun said very confidently.

Shanhai Media is the industry-recognized agency with the least lack of resources, and there are no messy things like other film and television companies and agencies.

Even the outside world's view on Yang Mi leaving Shanhai Media is still mixed, although she is more popular than before.

Suddenly, Lin Nan remembered one thing.

"In the second half of next month, the Spring Festival special of 'Running Man' will finish airing.

These few days, you send people to communicate with the six resident guests, Deng Chao and others, as well as their agents or companies, and talk about the contract for the second season."

"Mm, no problem. They are not stupid, no one should fall behind."

Regarding this point, Yue Jun is still confident, because after more than ten episodes of the first season of "Running Man", it has become a phenomenal explosive reality variety show, and there are many artists and agencies in the circle staring at it with green eyes.

……

Once a year, the liveliest event in the film and television circle — art examination, is about to start registration.

This colorful, infinitely tempting entertainment industry attracts countless young people to "fly into the fire".

Tens of thousands of candidates from all over the country often gather in the capital two or three months in advance to prepare for the art examination.

Or sign up for a high-fee short-term training class run by teachers from the three major colleges, or practice by themselves, just to have a bright performance during the art examination.

As expected, the Beijing Film Academy has already hung up Lin Nan's promotional posters and standees, which really attracted the attention of countless art candidates.

However, at the same time, Lin Nan himself was also angry: "I still underestimated the shamelessness of these people."

Liu Yifei came down from upstairs wearing cotton slippers and holding a book.

She sat on the sofa and naturally leaned on Lin Nan, a faint fragrance permeating, "Lin Nan, what's wrong again? We're leaving tomorrow."

Lin Nan stroked Miss Liu's long hair and complained: "The college uses me as a signboard to grab art candidates, this is no problem, a good thing.

But as a result, the art examination hasn't even started registration yet, and the number of people going through the back door in the circle has more than doubled.

There are also many people inquiring about which department I will specifically hold a position in, and what courses I will specifically teach! You say these people, are they very sharp? Simply..."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Yifei's forehead was already leaning on his shoulder, trembling with laughter.

"So funny, you, how did you know? Hahaha..."

"Old Jiang just called me, quite a few people went to him to beat around the bush, and they were all teachers from the school!"

"This fully explains the status of our Lin Dao in the world. If you can't find a relationship outside, then start from the school. Teacher and student, maybe you can catch your eye and soar to the sky?

Oh, can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing, hehehe..."

Liu Yifei curled up on the sofa, laughing like a flower, where is there any sign of discomfort?

"I'll rub it for you?" Lin Nan said unhappily, reaching out his hand.

"Ah, don't, too cold..."
