Chapter 612

"Jointly produced by Lin Nan Film Industry, China Film Group, Enlight Media, and Wanda, the fantasy, action, and adventure commercial blockbuster *Mojin: The Lost Legend* hit a new box office high on its second day of public screening, bringing in 210 million..."

"Produced by Tang Ren Film Industry, the top-tier IP TV series *The Legend of Qin* officially landed on the Mango Diamond Exclusive Theater last night. It encountered a large number of negative reviews after just two episodes..."

"According to informed sources, due to the contract termination dispute between actor Jiang Jinfu and Tang Ren Film Industry, the former's scenes were heavily cut, and the male lead has effectively fallen to the seventh male lead;

Facing phone interviews from multiple media outlets, Tang Ren Film Industry gave a non-committal response, tacitly acknowledging that the scene cuts were true; the two sides are taking the matter to court, and there is no possibility of reconciliation..."

"Directed by Zheng Xiaolong and starring Sun Li, Liu Tao, Fang Zhongxin, Huang Xuan, and others, the large-scale ancient costume TV series *The Legend of Mi Yue* will officially premiere tonight."

"Directed by Chen Jianbin and starring Chen Jianbin, Jiang Qinqin, Wang Xuebing (scenes cut), Jin Shijia, and others, the film *A Fool* brought in 3.62 million at the box office on its first day of public screening... The film is unlikely to recover its production costs."

……

November, finally arrived at the last day.

Waking up in the morning, many industry insiders discovered that the information from yesterday afternoon where Lin Nan compared Alibaba Pictures' "subversive behavior" in the film and television industry to running a pyramid scheme had completely disappeared from the trending list.

The popularity was clearly so high, but after just one night, it disappeared completely, without a trace?!

Anyone in the circle knew that this had definitely been suppressed. But this didn't affect anything, because the screenwriters' campaign to encircle and boycott Alibaba Pictures was still continuing.

After nine o'clock, Lin Nan didn't go to the company, but was lazily sprawled on the living room sofa making a phone call.

It was ridiculous to say, but that Weibo post of his yesterday afternoon actually set the pace, and quite a few big directors in the film circle joined in.

After all that, it turned out everyone really needed a leader? They were just waiting for someone capable like Lin Nan to stand at the front!

But this was understandable. After all, filmmakers in the traditional film and television industry were often looked down upon from a high position by this group of people with internet backgrounds from Alibaba Pictures. Even a clay figurine has three parts of temper.

"I say President Wang, isn't that a bit much? It's only the 30th, and you're already thinking about having me attend the premiere of *Foolish Angel*. There are still 20 days left.

Eh? It's actually on the same day as the premiere of Huayi's *Mr. Six*? Why do I suddenly have a feeling of déjà vu, haha..."

How could Lin Nan not have a feeling of déjà vu? The release date was the same day, and the premiere was also on the same day;

The last time Enlight did this was during *The Mural* and *The Sorcerer and the White Snake*. It was also that time that Enlight directly played Julee Film and Huang Shengyi out of existence!

"If we don't go head-to-head with Huayi, should we put it on the same day as *Detective Chinatown*?"

On the phone, Wang Changtian said irritably.

Releasing it one week before *Detective Chinatown* was because he thought *Mojin: The Lost Legend* would have reached its later stage by then, and *Foolish Angel* could strive to eat its fill within a week. After all, this kind of film only has a box office lifespan of a week or so;

But if it were really put on the same day as Lin Nan's film, then I'm afraid it wouldn't even get to eat the scraps!

"But I want to remind you, President Wang, be careful of Huayi playing dirty. They are not comparable to the Julee Film of back then."

"You say that as if I'm easy to bully? Since it's on the same day as Huayi's film, I'm prepared for a head-on competition. If they don't play by the rules, then I won't be polite either..."

Suddenly, Lin Nan looked up and saw Liu Yifei walking down lazily in cute-style printed pajamas on the second floor.

Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, her sleepy eyes made that bare-faced oval face look even more gentle and beautiful; hmm, it was Liu Qianqian, just woken up and not yet washed up in a home state!

She swayed to Lin Nan's side, kicked off the pale pink slippers on her feet, curled up on the sofa, and leaned against Lin Nan—continuing to nap!

"President Wang, alright. If I have time then, I will go."

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's soft hand with his left hand, resting it on her lap, while his right hand held his phone, preparing to dismiss Wang Changtian.

"Fine, are you trying to chase people away? Alright, I won't disturb you.

But I still want to say one last thing, *Mojin: The Lost Legend* really looks like it has the potential to reach 2 billion! Enlight's stock price has been red for two consecutive days, haha..."

Ignoring Wang Changtian's excitement, Lin Nan squeezed Liu Yifei's hand, "Didn't you say you wanted to go out and play? Still sleepy?"

"Hmm, let me nap for a while longer, don't move."

Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's arm tightly, her face resting on the back of his hand, humming and hawing, the touch was very smooth and tender.

……

In the studio, Director Wu Ershan was watching the news online, his emotions very agitated.

It seemed he had reached the first peak of his life. The previous *Painted Skin 2* didn't count, because there was the first one as a precedent, and it was because Director Lin had laid a good foundation.

Although *Mojin: The Lost Legend* also had a large audience base because of the top-tier IP, he was undoubtedly the sole director;

And looking at this box office trend, it was not at all inferior to the previous *Lost in Hong Kong*. The total box office was bound to break 1.5 billion, and the probability of reaching 2 billion was also quite high!

He hesitated again and again, and took out a thick leather notebook from the cabinet of his desk. Opening the first page, there were a few words written by his own hand.

And in this entire notebook, there were less than two hundred words in total, not even counting as a framework of a framework. To put it more directly, it was just an idea;

However, this was an idea he very much longed for!

"After *Mojin: The Lost Legend* is officially pulled from theaters and the box office figures come out, I should be qualified to pull in investment, right?"

At this moment, Director Wu Ershan's female assistant knocked on the door and entered.

"Boss, we have received many more invitations, all sent by various film and television companies and capital parties in the industry, inviting you to attend cocktail parties, banquets, and some public events."

The assistant excitedly placed a stack of invitations of different styles on the desk in front of Director Wu Ershan.

Ever since the first-day box office of *Mojin: The Lost Legend* came out yesterday, the threshold of their own studio had almost been broken in just a day and a half. For a time, it was truly full of distinguished guests.

All the employees knew that their boss was destined to be a new favorite in the film circle; it was only a matter of time before he became a new 1 billion box office big director, or even a 2 billion box office big director!

"*Fengshen... *?"

Inadvertently, the assistant saw the few words on the first page of the leather notebook and couldn't help but read them out.

Director Wu Ershan didn't cover it up. This was just an idea of his. Even if this idea was very strong at this moment, he still had to wait... at least until *Mojin: The Lost Legend* was pulled from theaters, until the box office figures of *Mojin: The Lost Legend* were set in stone.

Only then would he have sufficient confidence and qualifications.

"Bring all the invitations from the past two days over. I'll take a look. As long as the time doesn't conflict, I'll go." Director Wu Ershan seemed to have made a decision and ordered.

The assistant was quite puzzled upon hearing this. Because yesterday, her boss was still saying that picking one or two to go to would be enough, why did he want all the invitations today?

"By the way, there should be many more invitations for industry social engagements later. Don't refuse any of them, keep them all. I will attend them all when the time comes."

Director Wu Ershan looked up at the assistant and instructed again, very seriously and solemnly.

"Oh, okay."
