Chapter 625: Which Side to Offend? Choose One of Two

It's really the end of the year, and there's endless excitement in the entertainment industry.

Since noon, the entire internet has been mocking Yu Zheng;

Screenwriters and producers in the film and television circle have come out in full force, naming and criticizing Yu Zheng's attitude of refusing to admit his mistakes, as if there is a posture of joint suppression!

Many media even dug out the video of Yu Zheng's interview where he righteously denied plagiarizing Qiong Yao and posted it online;

Corresponding to the final judgment result in the morning, this looks extremely face-slapping, and the heat instantly exploded.

And there is someone at Wanda who likes to join in the fun, directly sticking his face to humiliate: this guy is like a brain-damaged child!

Facing this situation where the entire industry is "persecuting" him, Yu Zheng showed a professional response level of an "old player."

That is: ignore it, let you scold;

He can't afford to offend, but he can hide. As long as his works can make money, have fans, and have audiences, the industry will not abandon him; after hiding for a while, he can still be prosperous!

The most interesting thing is that Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi, Chen Xiao, Yuan Shanshan, and other friends and artists under Yu Zheng in the circle have all been affected.

Their Weibo was occupied and swiped by a large number of netizens, asking them to tell Yu Zheng: be a down-to-earth person, do things down-to-earth, and obey the judicial judgment—pay money, apologize!

But without exception, these people all urgently closed the comment function, pretending not to know;

The human relationships and self-preservation in the entertainment industry were played clearly by them one by one.

Lin Nan was quite speechless, because someone actually tagged him and asked him if Yu Zheng, who was publicly "executed" by the court, counts as a "tainted artist"?

Good heavens, how could Lin Dao respond to this kind of question; at first glance, this is a very childish and brainless question, but if you think about it carefully, it might also be a pit!

Because any public statement he makes is very likely to cause an uproar in the industry and on the internet.

After all, his status and position are here, and there is also a group of film and television industry capital supporting Yu Zheng behind him;

Otherwise, with Yu Zheng's bottomless operations for so many years, why can he still live so comfortably? He should have been killed long ago. In the final analysis, it is because he can make money!

The phone always rings at an inappropriate time, Lin Nan helplessly put down the tablet and connected.

"I won't forget tomorrow's premiere, no need to come and remind me again, President Wang?"

"I didn't come to tell you this, go and see the announcement just released by Ali and Bona.

Ali's hand is getting longer and longer. Earlier, Enlight Media rejected their investment invitation, and now they have directly entered Bona. Tsk tsk, it will be even better to watch in this circle in the future!"

Hearing Wang Changtian say this, Lin Nan didn't hang up the phone and directly flipped through the tablet.

Don't say, it has already entered the hot search list in just a few minutes.

Its wholly-owned subsidiary invested 86 million US dollars to join Bona's buyer consortium and participate in Bona's delisting privatization process;

Ali indirectly holds 10% of the shares, and the big entertainment plan adds another major help.

And Yu Dong also updated his Weibo just now, with a completely low-profile tone, very enthusiastically welcoming Ali to join Bona's big family.

Lin Nan couldn't help but tease: "86 million US dollars for 10% of the shares, no wonder Fatty Yu is in a hurry to delist.

It has been listed on the US stock market for more than five years, and the market value at the time of delisting is less than 5 billion? You know, delisting requires a premium to repurchase shares!"

Hearing this, Wang Changtian couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't say, I calculated it, Bona's market value is about 4.35 billion. The exchange rate this month is 6.4, haha..."

After joking for two sentences, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian immediately looked at it squarely.

First Huayi, then Bona, Ali has reached out. The competition in the future will become more and more intense.

Not to mention that Lin Nan has rejected the "good intentions" of Ali and Jack Ma many times, just from the day Tudou resisted Ali and accepted Tencent, everyone could not be friends, only opponents.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. Our few mountain tops here are also not small, President Wang, don't you think?"

"This is true, but we still have to pay attention. Don't wait until one day you wake up and find that the circle is full of Ali-affiliated companies, especially this kind of big company..."

December is about to end, with only the last 11 and a half days left.

*Mr. Six* and *Bad Guys Always Die*, these two films are undoubtedly the focus of the entire film and television circle right now.

Because both films will hold premiere ceremonies tomorrow morning, and most people in the circle have received invitations from Enlight Media and Huayi at the same time.

A scene that seems familiar is right before their eyes.

The last time everyone was in such a dilemma was when Enlight Media and Juli Film Industry were competing, the duel between *The Mural* and *The Sorcerer and the White Snake*.

Actually, that time was better, but this time... the film and television circle knows that this time is more difficult to choose than the last time.

Because Huayi cannot be compared with small fries like Juli Film Industry, this time both are listed giants in the film and television circle!

Choosing one of two is really too difficult!

Going to either one means that you might offend the other;

Or just find an excuse and go to neither? But this is also a bit unrealistic, after all, this kind of occasion is a rare social occasion in the circle to expand and maintain connections.

After lunch, Liu Yifei went to Xingwu, and Jiang Xuerou also rushed over.

For the casting of the TV version of *Eternal Love*, they have to set the audition time and process and issue an announcement as soon as possible.

Lin Nan didn't stay at home much, because the closer to the end of the year, the more things the company has.

"At noon, after the script of *Ip Man 4* passed the review, Huo Wenxi called. Emperor Motion Pictures is going to start casting. This time it won't be public, it's all internal casting or invitation..."

While rubbing his temples and listening to Yue Jun's report, Lin Nan started to feel sleepy.

"We don't have actors from other fortresses, let them follow the plan."

"Hmm, okay, I will reply to Huo Wenxi later.

Lin Dao, what about tomorrow? Should we send someone to Huayi?"

"Heh, no need."

Lin Nan yawned and affirmed. A few days ago, Wang Zhonglei had just snidely remarked about *Mojin: The Lost Legend*, and he would have to have a problem with his brain to send someone to support them.

As for the invitation letter sent by Huayi before? Does it mean you have to go if you receive it?

"Alright, I will arrange it."

After Yue Jun left, Lin Nan saw the news online.

Li Bingbing, who had been in Hollywood for more than half a month, seemed to have returned to China with a serious illness, and the China-US co-production *Nest* was also forced to interrupt filming.

Because as the heroine, Li Bingbing joined the crew for half a month and had a high fever for half a month, and it couldn't be cured abroad, so she had to come back. This is very evil!

The time finally came to the 20th, and early in the morning, media reports were constantly swiping the screen online.

As Lin Nan expected, Huayi's battle formation indeed crushed Enlight Media's side.

"Produced by Huayi, directed by Guan Hu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang, etc., the New Year blockbuster *Mr. Six* held a high-profile premiere ceremony at the Capital Water Cube this morning!"

"It is reported that a 400-square-meter IMAX giant screen will be used in the Water Cube for the premiere of the film *Mr. Six*;"

"The number of guests from various industries such as the film and television industry, entertainment circle, media circle, internet industry, and financial industry is expected to reach more than 4,000!"

"Primarily controlled by Enlight Media, jointly produced by Deng Chao's Orange Image, starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Liang Chao, etc.; Deng Chao's second directorial film *Bad Guys Always Die* held a premiere ceremony at Wanda Cinema this morning..."

Style is secondary, temperature is the key—Lin Nan was forcibly put on a down jacket by Liu Yifei.

Hey, couple style!

"It's about zero degrees outside, this outfit looks quite good, beige."

Liu Yifei smiled and patted Lin Nan's chest, her face full of satisfaction.

"Then let's go, housekeeper, you have to manage everything I wear..."

"Hmm?"

Miss Liu hugged her chest and glared at Lin Nan.

"I said it looks quite good, you have an eye for buying clothes."

"Hehe, that's more like it, let's go."

Picking up the bag and pulling Lin Nan's hand, Liu Yifei urged with a smile. Women, you change your face really fast!

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Wanda Plaza was already a scene of bustling noise.

Around the red carpet, there were many media, and fans, fans, and onlookers were also a sea of people, and the shouts were endless.

But Wang Changtian's expression was not very happy.

Because the number of film and television guests at the Water Cube was more than five or six times that of his own.

Especially A-list actors, stars, and artists, as well as those well-known filmmakers, according to feedback from the company team, most of them went to Huayi's *Mr. Six*.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet in couple outfits, they were still sighing. In contrast, *Bad Guys Always Die* indeed seemed a bit "lonely."

Because when they just came, Liu Yifei was looking at the news in the car, and Huayi's red carpet lineup was quite luxurious!

Jackie Chan, Ge You, Fan Bingbing, Bai Baihe, Na Ying, Qin Hailu, Liao Fan, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanzheng, Liu Ye, Guo Degang... Ning Hao, Li Yu, Gao Qunshu, He Ping, Zhang Yibai, Gu Changwei... not top A-listers, then well-known directors. There are also film and television capital such as Yu Dong, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Zhao.

Outside the Water Cube, it was crowded with people, and there were police maintaining order to prevent stampedes.

After all, the fans of those two "little fresh meat" are unreasonably numerous, and one is louder than the other, it is estimated that the noise index over there is absolutely very high!

Entering the cinema, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at it, and there were only a dozen A-listers:

Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Yang Mi... and there were only a few directors, Xu Zheng, Director Wu Ershan, Wu Jing. The rest were all second and third-tier artists.

"You two finally came, I'm just waiting for you two to hold the fort for me!"

Wang Changtian seemed to be "suffocated" to the extreme, and greeted him with a bitter smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk, President Wang, you have experienced the treatment of Juli Film Industry back then."

Lin Nan joked with interest, and Liu Yifei couldn't help but punch him, "How do you talk?"

Wang Changtian spread his hands and mocked himself helplessly:

"Isn't it? The market value is only half of others, and the ability to form cliques is not as good as those two brothers; not to mention that they have their own big directors, what do I have?"

"Take your time, sooner or later dry Huayi."

Lin Nan could only comfort him like this, after all, Enlight Media is indeed not as good as Huayi in all aspects right now!

"Lin Dao, Haozi also went there today."

Huang Bo walked over from afar and greeted.

"Understand, he is a guest actor in *Mr. Six*."

"I heard that Guan Hu even pushed his ninety-year-old father in a wheelchair to the scene, just to create momentum for the film! Don't say, this is completely in line with the 'old' word of 'Mr. Six'!"

Wang Changtian looked disdainful, they can really spend money.

Hearing this, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were stunned. How utilitarian must this be? In such an occasion of 4,000 or 5,000 people, aren't they afraid of accidents?

"Alright alright, a group of people over there are waiting to greet you two. I won't take up any more time."

Wang Changtian pointed to a group of filmmakers and actors in the distance looking here, he really regarded Lin Nan and Liu Yifei as the core guests to hold the fort!
