~11 min read 2,103 words

On a new day, the news that *Mojin: The Lost Legend* had captured a daily box office of 165 million naturally continued to dominate the top of the trending list. But following closely behind was not other films about to be released in the New Year's film season, nor *A Fool*, which had been screened for three days and whose daily box office had already dropped to 430,000 yesterday. The one that abruptly squeezed into the second place on the trending list was that literary film from Hong Kong. The entire Hong Kong circle was really helping to promote and build momentum! "Produced and supervised by Director Peter Chan, and controlled by Peter Chan's We Pictures; Hong Kong Geek Pictures, StarMe Chairman Tan Hong's Jia Ying Pictures, and Alibaba Pictures participated in the joint production; directed by Derek Tsang and starring Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu, the literary romance film *Soul Mate* held its start-up ceremony and press conference in Beijing this morning." "It is reported that the start-up press conference for the film *Soul Mate* was full of big names, with many great directors: Peter Chan, Gu Changwei, Wong Jing... Eric Tsang, Man Chun... Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun..."... Lin Nan felt that the Hong Kong circle was really a bit too forceful. A literary film didn't need such a big fanfare, making it look like they were starting a top-tier sci-fi blockbuster. But looking at it from another angle, that is: the Hong Kong circle was forcibly extending the life of the aging, tomb-like Hong Kong cinema and cultivating successors. They were doing the big thing of continuing the incense! Thinking about it this way, Lin Nan could understand it immediately; but he still couldn't help but laugh, because it was truly too funny! Why use Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu? That's because Hong Kong has no young actors who can be brought out at all. They can only focus on cultivating young directors. This is also their last persistence and stubbornness! Although the start-up press conference there sent an invitation to Lin Nan, it was Jiang Xuerou who went to attend it, because he didn't want to go and support the Hong Kong circle. "Lin Dao, 40 million has been transferred to the special fund account for *Buddies in India*, and Enlight has replied with confirmation." "Hmm, I know." Lin Nan waved his hand, and the finance department immediately withdrew. "How is the script for *Eternal Love* going?" Hearing the question, Yue Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Lin Dao, this matter is not under my management. There is no news about that script yet, but I guess it should be soon. After all, it has been sent to the Red Star Studio for review for more than a month." Lin Nan realized in hindsight and shook his head with a smile; he was also confused, actually asking Yue Jun. "Alright, then let's wait a bit longer. I'll leave these documents to you, I'm going to Tiangong Color." "Hmm, no problem." Yue Jun took a stack of documents and went out of the office with Lin Nan, and the two went in opposite directions. …… Hollywood. The awards season atmosphere is thick, and all the public relations parties and cocktail parties for films aiming for awards are being held in clusters. Tang Mu rarely saw an acquaintance, a face from across the ocean. "Jing... Tian" The awkward sound also made Miss Jing Tian Tian and Lu Zheng immediately notice that fat figure. "Hi, Tang Mu." Miss Jing Tian Tian walked over very happily. A smile is always the best greeting, universal in both East and West! "Is your *Kong: Skull Island* about to wrap up? I heard from Peter at Warner Bros. that it seems to be finishing up." "Hmm, it will wrap up in these few days. After that, I will return to China. I came out specifically to stroll around tonight..." Lu Zheng watched from afar and didn't come up to disturb; because in his view, Miss Jing Tian Tian needed the ability to socialize on her own. A few minutes later, looking at Tang Mu, who was smiling and didn't treat her as an outsider at all, Miss Jing Tian Tian couldn't help but ask about that matter. "Tang Mu, *Pacific Rim 2* is about to be prepared, right?" Hearing this, Tang Mu's eyes, which seemed a bit small because of the good food, widened a little. "You actually know? Oh, right. You are the female lead of the first one, and also Lin's sister!" Tang Mu remembered very clearly that at the beginning of this year, Lin Nan introduced the girl in front of him to him and Leon like this. "Is it really going to be prepared, in the near future?" Miss Jing Tian Tian asked seriously again. "Hmm, that's right. During the Oscars ceremony, Lin will come over to confirm this matter. You can ask him for the result then. I remember Peter mentioned that they would invite the *The Great Wall* crew to attend the Oscars. You can find Lin, getting the female lead for the second one should be no problem; because we still want to make it a co-production, and you are the female lead of the first one, just continue..." Tang Mu really didn't treat Miss Jing Tian Tian as an outsider. Who let Lin Nan introduce her like that back then! Not long after, Tang Mu waved his hand and plunged into a pile of acquaintances on the side, while Miss Jing Tian Tian returned to Lu Zheng's side. "Uncle Lu, it's true! Tang Mu said I can continue... as long as Brother Lin nods, it's still a co-production!" Miss Jing Tian Tian looked at Lu Zheng, a bit excited. This is not only a co-production, but also a series! "Then prepare, return to China immediately after *Kong: Skull Island* wraps up, we will go see Lin Nan. According to the requirements, a co-production must have mainland actors. I hope you can successfully get the role, don't have any competitors, hahaha... Just kidding, don't worry. First, the news hasn't spread yet, and second, Lin Nan promised a long time ago that if there was a sequel, he would still use you!" "Hmm." Hearing the last sentence, Miss Jing Tian Tian's eyebrows finally relaxed, her face turned from cloudy to sunny, and she nodded with a smile. …… In the afternoon, the film circle spread the news that the third round of financing conference for Shanghai Film Group Corporation was about to be held. Lin Nan once again received an olive branch from Ren Zhonglun, truly not abandoning, not giving up. "President Ren, don't keep thinking about me. You don't even think about it, even if I invested, what substantial benefits would it have for me? At most, after listing, the returns would have multiplied. Are there any other benefits? Is it that if I commit a crime, you can help me settle it... Ah, pui, I won't commit a crime! I can't command Shanghai Film Group Corporation with that little bit of shares. As for money, there's really no need!." Lin Nan refused bluntly. High-quality enterprises will not accept the entry of state-owned capital, but conversely, personal capital boarding the big ship of state-owned capital, as long as there are no ulterior motives, is all beneficial and harmless. But Lin Nan is not, he is afraid of trouble, afraid of being "kidnapped" to Shanghai Film Group. "Sigh, I knew you would still give this answer." "Then why do you still ask?" "Try it, what if a blind cat hits a dead mouse, haha... But since you refused the third round of financing, don't refuse the celebration banquet after listing. Next year I will send invitations to both you and Yifei, you both must come." "President Ren is so confident about listing? Oops, I said the wrong thing again. Also, it's a state-owned enterprise, and it's the second-ranked state-owned enterprise in the industry, it absolutely won't have any problems!" "You'd better swallow those two words 'second' for me! Don't mention it in front of me in the future..." "Yes, yes, haha..." After Lin Nan hung up the phone with a smile, he thought for a while. Thinking about it, China Film Group should be soon too. "The era of capital for the film and television industry is right in front of us. Hmm, fortunately, I am capital, big capital!" …… Many people in the film circle discovered a very interesting thing, that is, the quasi-1 billion box office club big director, perhaps also the quasi-2 billion box office club big director Director Wu Ershan, has been attending various industry social activities almost every day these past few days, wandering between various film and television capital. This is completely opposite to Director Wu Ershan's previous habits. Regarding this situation, Lin Nan of course also heard about it, it was Wang Changtian who told him. But he didn't take it to heart, because Director Wu Ershan only had a cooperative relationship with Lin Nan Film Industry, and there was no subordinate relationship! And the remuneration Director Wu Ershan got from *Mojin: The Lost Legend* was exactly the same as when he filmed *Painted Skin 2* before; this was also the reason why *Painted Skin 2* was handed over to Director Wu Ershan, because the other party promised to film a few films for Lin Nan Film Industry while keeping the remuneration unchanged. Therefore, even if Director Wu Ershan is plotting something while socializing outside with the "box office honor" of *Mojin: The Lost Legend*, that is what he deserves, and Lin Nan can't control it. When he got home, the great Lin Dao found that Especially Reba was also there, helping Liu Yifei feed a group of cats and dogs. "You are so busy with announcements during this time, you still have time to come over?" Especially Reba smiled, "I can still squeeze out time to help Sister Yifei with work." Liu Yifei was pouring cat food on the side, nodding very satisfied: "You really know how to talk. Unlike some people, who ran away very fast in the morning, and only came back at mealtime at noon!" Lin Nan couldn't hear that this was pointing at him. He walked up in two or three steps, "snatched" the cat food bag from Liu's hands without effort, "I'll do it, I'll do it, you hurry up and rest, you are a golden branch and jade leaf." "Humph, good to know." Liu Yifei put her hands on her hips, humming and hawing, smiling quite proudly. Especially Reba covered her mouth and laughed on the side. The great Lin Dao, who is always looked up to by the film and television industry outside, is only "oppressed" in front of Liu Yifei! "Alright, Especially Reba, you put it down too. Call the restaurant and urge them, why haven't they delivered it yet." "Okay, Sister Yifei." As she spoke, Especially Reba ran to the villa living room, because her phone was placed there. Lin Nan carried the cat food bag and was already surrounded by the meow team, all of them were meowing at him, and even the few dog teams on the side were urging him. At this time, Liu Yifei leaned forward and stood beside Lin Nan. "What's wrong, Producer Liu, are you ready to help me?" Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and teased with a smile. "Think beautifully, I'll stand closer, supervise!" Liu said so, but her hands didn't hesitate; Lin Nan carried the cat food bag, and she held a spoon to distribute it. The two moved skillfully, cooperating perfectly! "Lin Nan, let me tell you something." Liu suddenly spoke softly, and Lin Nan was a bit unaccustomed to it. "You say." "I saw the script for *Pacific Rim 2* in your study, it's not bad." "Aren't you not interested in this kind of film?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully, he thought Liu Yifei had an idea. "No, I'm planning to let Especially Reba play the female lead in *Pacific Rim 2*, what do you think of this idea?" Lin Nan was stunned on the spot. He looked up at Liu Yifei blankly; and Liu was also blinking at him. After all, she hadn't told Lin Nan, and had promised Especially Reba in advance. "Are you kidding?" "No, why would I kid? I'm serious!" "This this... why don't we wait and talk about it later?" Lin Nan had a headache. Liu Yifei gave him a difficult problem! …………........ 007... 23.
