Chapter 615

Looking at Liu Yifei's puzzled expression, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh:

"Wait for Jing Tian to come back. Although the female lead of the second one is completely different from the first one, she is the female lead of the first one, and it's better to have some of the original cast for a series.

And I promised Jing Tian a long time ago that if we were to film a second one in the future, I would still leave the female lead for her. So, we have to wait until she comes back to talk about it.

If she's not interested in this, then it doesn't matter if we give it to Especially Reba. But do you think Tian Tian will refuse? After all, she has called me 'Brother Lin' for so many years."

Liu Yifei is not an unreasonable woman. Hearing Lin Nan's explanation, she was immediately embarrassed to death.

She was like a little girl who had made a serious mistake, her expression was quite funny, feeling like she was going to be laughed at by her own stupidity, but she bit her lip and angrily "shifted the blame" to Lin Nan:

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Fortunately, I haven't told Especially Reba yet, I wanted to let her play the female lead in *Pacific Rim 2*.

If I had said it and then went back on my word halfway, wouldn't I have been embarrassed to death? Humph!"

"But, you didn't ask me either, haha..."

"Still laughing? I almost lost face, so embarrassing."

Liu Yifei peeked sneakily toward the villa direction. Fortunately, Especially Reba hadn't come out yet.

"Since that's the case, then we can only let Especially Reba play the second female lead!"

Looking at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei nodded heavily, and then "warned" with her eyes: "Don't tell anyone!"

"Hmm, don't worry, I won't make fun of you. Actually, Tian Tian is very suitable to play the female lead, that kind of decisive female character.

She has called me 'Brother Lin' for so many years, and has also called you 'Sister Yifei' many times, didn't you discover her strengths?"

"In front of me, she is always that soft look, how would I discover it?"

Liu rolled her eyes and said speechlessly. In her view, Jing Tian's temperament is even softer than Shu Chang's, and she is also a girl without her own opinions.

"Alright, then let's not tell Especially Reba about this for now.

After the project is completely finalized, then notify her. For her, the second female lead is already completely enough. Any more, she can't support it."

"Hmm, I know, I don't need you to teach me, I'm not stupid, look down on me!"

Fine, Liu Yifei, who had an expression of having done something wrong just a moment ago, was proud again before a few minutes had passed, pouting her lips.

But this is also the sunny side of her personality, only revealed at home, in front of her own people and good friends.

"Sister Yifei, Lin Dao, the restaurant said they will be here soon." Especially Reba's voice drifted over from afar.

"Okay, then get ready to eat."

"Coming." Liu Yifei also responded.

Lin Nan stood up, took Liu's hand, and the two walked toward the villa, swaying and winking at each other, occasionally laughing out loud at being teased by the other.

A group of dog teams were chasing and shouting behind them. These two people really hadn't fed them yet.

……

At noon, past 12 o'clock.

After a year, the entire film and television industry once again focused its attention on the film and television giant that was once very brilliant and only one step away from listing—Xiaoma Pentium.

Because the news online had come out, and it was all news about Xiaoma Pentium, which had "disappeared" for a long time.

Since the end of November last year when Jianyin Culture officially filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that Xiaoma fulfill the gambling agreement and repurchase shares at a premium of 635 million, it had been exactly one year to the day.

And this morning, this big lawsuit was finally judged: Xiaoma Pentium must unconditionally fulfill the gambling contract and pay 635 million RMB...

In the eyes of everyone in the film and television industry, the result was already obvious:

Where would Xiaoma Pentium get 635 million? It could only be insolvent, bankrupt and liquidated... From now on, there would be no more Xiaoma Pentium in the industry!

"It's a pity for Brother Da Gou. He left less than two years ago, and the couple's twenty years of hard work turned to ashes in an instant."

"The ambition in the early stage was too big, thinking about the Hong Kong stock market and the A-share market, completely looking down on the Growth Enterprise Market. And the luck was not good, just happened to run into trouble.

If they had listed half a year or a year later, with the current industry trend, how could they not have succeeded?"

Wang Zhongjun took over Wang Zhonglei's conversation and sighed.

Regarding the big-boss-level opponent who once had a good reputation in the industry, the brothers were also quite admiring and regretful; after all, the deceased is the greatest, and their strengths would naturally be magnified infinitely.

"Winners are kings, losers are bandits, can't blame anyone."

Feng Xiaogang commented in the tone of a superior.

For him, who had just received 1.05 billion in cash and the Golden Horse Best Actor award, it was the time when he was in high spirits and pointing out the direction.

"By the way, how many assets does Xiaoma still have? Is there anything we can use?"

Ignoring Feng Xiaogang's arrogant posture, Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhonglei.

"Big brother, that pair of sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps. The core assets that Xiaoma could sell were sold out last year.

Company bankruptcy is the company's business, some assets originally had unclear property rights. Who let Brother Da Gou leave suddenly? After they sold them, they just went into their own pockets.

And those most important film and television copyrights were all eaten by Tudou, even LeTV missed out!"

Wang Zhonglei said everything he had inquired about, and even a bit "appreciated" the methods of the Li sisters.

"It's just a pity that Brother Da Gou's wife and children were eaten up. Tsk tsk..."

After chatting about gossip, Wang Zhongjun asked about the business: "How is the promotion for *Mr. Six*?"

"Recently, Guan Hu and I have been running around with those two kids, Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng, and the promotional effect is very good.

As for *Foolish Angel* released by Enlight on the same day, don't worry, it's highly likely to be a rotten film!"

Feng Xiaogang said confidently, quite in control.

"That's good. But don't take it lightly, after all, this is the New Year's film season..."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhongjun suddenly paused, then looked at Feng Xiaogang, and said pointedly: "When necessary, you can use some outside moves!"

The great Director Feng understood instantly, "Hmm, I know."

……

"Mimi, see it? Xiaoma Pentium was once one of the few private giants in the industry, a behemoth. But after losing the gambling? It's miserable.

Past events, if not forgotten, are teachers of the future. So we must take it as a warning, Jiaxing's gambling, cannot lose!"

In the crew of *The Interpreter*, Ceng Jia and Yang Mi sat face to face, sighing while eating.

Yang Mi also frowned, the pressure increased, but Ceng Jia was right.

"Hmm, I know, we cannot, and will not lose!"

……

After a day, Lin Nan had to lead the team to run promotion again, this time Liu Yifei didn't follow.

The crew boarded the plane at six o'clock in the morning, flew to Shanghai at eight o'clock, and rushed to the Shanghai Theatre Academy until nearly nine-thirty. The schedule was quite tight.

On the 1st of the month, the Shanghai Theatre Academy just held its 70th anniversary celebration;

Compared with the 65th anniversary celebration of the Beijing Film Academy in mid-October, although the scale was much smaller, more than 1,600 star alumni returned.

Among them, Jiao Huang, Li Youbin, Li Bingbing, Xu Zheng, Ren Quan, Tong Dawei, Lu Yi, Hu Ge, and others were all alumni representatives, all first-tier in the industry.

And it had only been three days since then, and the lively and festive atmosphere in the school still had lingering charm.

"I found that every time I come to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, it seems you will come to welcome me?"

Looking at Hu Ge in front of him, Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Host's duty."

"But, Senior, I can also do this errand!"

Chen He teased with a smile. He was a member of the crew and also a graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"And me, although I'm not from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, I'm from Shanghai!"

Tang Yan also teased with a smile. Her work focus this month was to run promotion with the *Detective Chinatown* crew, not filming *The Princess Weiyoung*.

Regarding this, all the production companies of the *The Princess Weiyoung* crew had no objections, and all of them supported it with both hands.

"Neither of you is pure, it's better for me, someone outside the *Detective Chinatown* crew, to accompany you, heh..."

Walking on the campus of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Lin Nan's group was exceptionally eye-catching, and there were no students whose eyes didn't light up.

After all, in terms of actual situation, the Shanghai Theatre Academy is naturally at the bottom of the three major institutions.

It neither has the luxurious big director and behind-the-scenes lineup of the Beijing Film Academy, nor can it compare to the geographical location and strength of the Central Academy of Drama!

So it's truly not easy to see a top-tier big director in the school.

And today, the treatment given to the crew by the Shanghai Theatre Academy was truly not low, directly providing a theater-style auditorium;

When Lin Nan and others entered, the scene was already full of hundreds of students and media reporters, which could be called full of sincerity.

After the film promotion activity officially started, when Lin Nan and the main cast were dealing with a large number of questions, the outside world was not idle either.

"Jointly produced by Starlight International, China Film Group, Qingying Factory, and LeTV. Produced by Zhang Ziyi and supervised by Guo Jingming. The comedy and sci-fi film *Oh My God* landed on national theaters this morning... Producer Zhang Ziyi updated her Weibo across the ocean to help the film..."

"Lionsgate film *The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2* has been screened for 13 days, with a total box office of 122 million; due to the strong obstruction of *Mojin: The Lost Legend*, the daily box office dropped to below 20,000..."

"Produced by Columbia Pictures, the Hollywood imported blockbuster *Spectre* has been screened for 20 days with a total box office of 510 million, and the daily box office is almost non-existent."

"According to informed sources from the theater chain, due to *Mojin: The Lost Legend*, the two imported blockbusters will face an early withdrawal..."

"Jointly produced by China Film Group, Starry Sky, Wanda, Huayi, Alibaba Pictures, Hengdian, Xiangshan, Dadi Theater Chain, and more than a dozen film and television companies in the industry, written by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark:

Starring Wu Yifan, Lin Gengxin, Yao Chen, Lin Yun, Bao Bei'er, Wang Likun, and others, the sequel to *Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons*, *Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back*, officially wrapped up this morning!"

……

China Film Group.

Stephen Chow rarely asked about Lin Nan's news: "The day after tomorrow, can Lin Dao really not come to the media press conference?"

La Peikang shook his head, "Didn't Lin Nan Film Industry already reply? He is also busy with the promotion of *Detective Chinatown*, but Yue Jun will come as a representative."

"That's a pity. If Lin Dao could come, I think the scene... would be even more enthusiastic, the atmosphere."

Stephen Chow spoke Mandarin stumblingly, all for the sake of *The Mermaid*'s interests.

At this time, Ren Zhonglun's mood on the side was not very good, largely because of the stimulation of *Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back*.

After all, this film was established after *The Mermaid*, and China Film Group, one of the main controllers, squeezed out Shanghai Film Group.

"This time is chosen very poorly... Otherwise, Lin Nan and I could have had tea at Shanghai Film Group this afternoon."

Ren Zhonglun's words directly choked La Peikang. Because the tea at China Film Group had been cold for more than half a year.
