Chapter 613

Perhaps Zheng Xiaolong and Sun Li, as well as a large number of fans of *Empresses in the Palace*, did not anticipate:

*The Legend of Mi Yue* followed in the footsteps of *The Legend of Qin* from the day before after only two episodes, and was labeled a "rotten drama" by the entire internet.

The gaudy and bright costumes and props that looked like Taobao best-sellers, the idioms and fables that traveled through time randomly, the chaotic historical event background, the incorrect historical character background settings...

These very obvious flaws, without exception, all gave the audience a feeling as if they were watching *The Empress of China*, or an ancient costume drama produced by Yu Zheng's studio;

It really couldn't make the audience immerse themselves in the fact that this was a TV series with a Warring States background!

And this style also gave countless viewers across the internet an inexplicable sense of familiarity—isn't this just the feeling of a "Mary Sue" plot ancient costume drama?!

Actually, these points that were complained about, received negative reviews, and scolded as a rotten drama were all secondary;

The main reason was still because there were two great Warring States dramas, *The Qin Empire I* and *The Qin Empire II*, as precedents.

When comparing goods, wouldn't *The Legend of Mi Yue* be stepped under the soles of feet all at once? Moreover, Ning Jing's Mi Bazi truly crushed Sun Li's Mi Yue!

Liu Yifei was bored last night and dragged Lin Nan to watch *The Legend of Mi Yue*, but she couldn't persist for more than ten minutes.

In her words, Director Zheng Xiaolong was afraid he wouldn't be able to maintain his integrity in his later years! Regarding this, the great Lin Dao completely agreed.

But thinking about it, Tudou buying this drama shouldn't result in a loss.

Because the topic and popularity of *The Legend of Mi Yue* were very high, and the number of die-hard fans brought by the fermentation of *Empresses in the Palace* over several years could not be underestimated. Furthermore, bad publicity is still publicity!

Yesterday was the third day of *Mojin: The Lost Legend*'s public screening, and also the first day entering the week;

The daily box office naturally dropped a lot, bringing in 182 million, but its momentum did not diminish at all.

Not only that, *Mojin: The Lost Legend*'s share of the daily box office market even rose to 88%, suppressing all other films currently in theaters until they couldn't breathe.

The bloodiness of the New Year's film season was thus vividly displayed.

And time officially stepped into December.

"*Oh My God*, *The Master*, *Foolish Angel*, *Mr. Six*..."

In the office, Yue Jun detailed the many films to be released this month, his tone quite light and breezy.

These films were all objects that *Mojin: The Lost Legend* and *Detective Chinatown* were going to crush, not worth worrying about;

After all, what the situation of *Mojin: The Lost Legend* is now, the industry sees it in their eyes: it is truly devastating, presenting a sweeping trend!

"*Oh My God*?"

Lin Nan muttered, he became a little interested in this film to be released the day after tomorrow.

"This film is jointly produced by Starlight International, China Film Group, Qingying Factory, and LeTV, produced by Zhang Ziyi and supervised by Guo Jingming. But to be honest, whether it's the main cast or the subject matter, I am not optimistic."

Yue Jun immediately took over the conversation and commented directly.

"That's true, International Zhang is still pregnant and waiting for delivery abroad as a producer.

Besides, letting Guo Jingming serve as supervisor? Can he control the quality of the film? These production companies are indeed a bit too childish, heh..."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, mourning for the first three production companies in advance.

"By the way, what about the premiere? Don't tell me it's also scheduled for the 20th? I don't want to go join in the excitement of *Mr. Six* and *Foolish Angel*."

"Haha, Lin Dao, rest assured, ours is on the 28th. But speaking of which, there are indeed some signs of fanning the flames in the circle. After all, it's a head-on war between the two giants, Enlight and Huayi."

……

Externally, for the film and entertainment industry, this is not only the New Year's film season, but also the time of year with the most announcements;

Because New Year's Day is imminent, and New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival are not far away, there are all kinds of New Year's Eve galas, satellite TV programs, variety shows, brand activities, and banquets, one after another.

So the invitations for stars will also fly like paper, especially for popular first-tier stars, who wish they could do the work of eight people at the same time.

Whenever it comes to this time, among Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Zhao Liying, and Reba, the busiest is always Reba, and she is also the one who makes the most money!

At noon, at a high-end jewelry luncheon, Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun were sitting together.

"Since you and Lin Dao got married, it's been three months, and this is the first time you've attended an announcement, right?"

Liu Yifei was wearing a quite casual lady's suit, a heroic and spirited outfit that was completely out of place with the surrounding actresses;

Of course, it was just that she was more independent, and also the most eye-catching and star-studded!

"Hmm, I'm too lazy, I pushed away a lot of announcements."

Liu Yifei's face was filled with smiles, nodding gently.

Today's event was still something her company team begged her to come out for, otherwise at this moment, she should be petting cats or walking dogs? Or calling Lin Nan to ask how to solve lunch?

"You really are blessed and don't know it. Among the actresses I know, you are the laziest!"

Zhou Xun rolled her eyes, picked up the red wine in front of her, and drank it in one gulp.

Liu Yifei didn't care at all, and happily rolled her eyes back at Zhou Xun.

"Sister Yifei."

A call attracted the attention of the two. Turning their heads to look, it was Reba.

"Look, this little sister is the model worker, she has activity announcements every day. I even suspect that your great Lin Dao is a black-hearted capitalist, exploiting employees? Haha..."

Facing Zhou Xun's teasing, Reba shook her head hurriedly, "No, no, they are all announcements received by my studio."

"She is a studio boss now, not an employee, and has 100% autonomy! Hmm, I'll have to tell Lin Nan later that you're bad-mouthing him behind his back, hehe."

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and teased provocatively.

"Insufficient evidence, you are slandering me!" Zhou Xun naturally displayed her female rogue side.

Liu Yifei didn't pay attention to her either, but asked Reba: "Did you see the script?"

Reba nodded repeatedly, "I saw it."

"After the script passes the review, the casting will officially begin. But your role has already been decided internally, so get familiar with it in advance."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei showed a slightly thoughtful expression again, making both Reba and Zhou Xun feel a bit at a loss.

"Sister Yifei?"

A moment later, Liu Yifei looked at Reba, who had been calling her "Sister Yifei" for several years, and said very seriously:

"Next year there will be a film, I'll send you in. Although the scenes might not be many, the resume will be very, very bright!"

Reba nodded blankly, not daring to ask more: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Yifei."

A few minutes later, when Reba had just turned and left, Zhou Xun couldn't wait to ask curiously:

"Big producers really have style, giving away film resources just like that. When one day I don't have good resources, I'll come to hug your thigh.

Hurry up and tell me, what film did you just promise, I didn't hear any rumors?"

Liu Yifei curled her lips. Actually, she only knew that this film was going to be started, and she had flipped through the scripts in Lin Nan's study when she was bored at home.

As for casting? She stuffing a Reba in, absolutely no problem! Although she hadn't communicated with Lin Nan, but... hmm, we'll talk about it then!

"It's a film controlled by Crystal Film Industry..."

Liu Yifei lowered her voice and said a few words. Zhou Xun's eyes widened instantly, and after a long time, she muttered:

"Lucky girl! Yifei, with our relationship, if there's such a good thing in the future, you must think of your sister. Muma!"

"Ah, you female rogue!"

"Haha..."

……

Not to mention the stars, even Lin Nan felt what it meant to have a surge in "invitations," all for premieres and screening events.

Of course, he assigned them all to Yue Jun to arrange.

At the same time, the two films Lin Nan invested in were also about to start.

Happy Mahua called in the afternoon, the start date for *Mr. Donkey* was set for the middle or end of this month, preparing to start filming low-key, without holding a start-up ceremony;

While Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang's side was much slower.

Enlight Media.

Lin Nan was leaning lazily on the sofa, scrolling through the news about himself being "cuckolded," cursing and swearing.

"This Zhou Xun, she has no proper behavior at all!"

"Isn't it because she was subdued by your Yifei with one hand? Haha..."

Wang Changtian teased with a smile, while Wang Baoqiang was silently accompanying him with a smile on the side.

"Let's talk business." Lin Nan rolled his eyes and changed the subject.

"Lin Dao, the script for *Buddies in India* has been submitted for review, and we plan to establish the project, cast, and prepare this month, and start filming in the first half of next year."

In an instant, Wang Baoqiang entered the state, completely with a serious attitude of a newcomer who wanted to do this project well and wanted to be a good director!

Lin Nan nodded in appreciation, "In other words, it will take until March or April next year to start filming?"

"Yes, Lin Dao. During these three months of the New Year's film season and Spring Festival season, I have to cooperate with the film promotion, and there are other tasks."

Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan in agreement, the meaning was self-evident.

"So there's nothing major today, just notifying me that I can pay the money?" Lin Nan was very speechless. Was it worth calling him over for this little thing?

"Isn't this a major thing? It's a film with an investment of over 100 million! Baoqiang was embarrassed to ask you if you needed to stuff any actors in, so I called you over to help him ask."

Hearing this, Lin Nan glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who still had that smiling face.

"No need to stuff anyone in. Besides, don't ask me about such things in the future.

The company has already opened studios for the four of them. If there are acting contracts, they will directly dock with their studios; as for whether to accept or not, their teams will consider and decide, and finally give a reply."

Lin Nan said earnestly. He also had to respect Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, and the other two; after all, they are now studio bosses, not purely signed actors under the company.

"Alright, since you aren't stuffing anyone in, then I'll arrange it. Let Liu Yan play the female lead, Baoqiang, what do you think?"

"No problem, President Wang." Wang Baoqiang immediately agreed with a smile.
