Chapter 628: Three Roles Decided; Lin Nan Strikes Back!

Watching Song Yi bow deeply and walk out of the conference room with a nervous mood, Jiang Xuerou opened her mouth to express her opinion:

"Her acting skills should be considered good among the student group. But her height and appearance really don't have any advantage in costume dramas, and they are even hard injuries."

"Baby face, a bit short, completely giving people the feeling of being underage. Director Jiang is right, there is really no supporting role suitable for her in *Eternal Love*."

Lin Nan yawned and affirmed Jiang Xuerou's statement.

"It's a bit, but if there is a suitable script, others may not have the opportunity to play the main role or heroine in costume dramas.

Alright, then the next one. Hmm, 13th grade, Meng Ziyi?"

Liu Yifei flipped through the audition information in front of her and ordered the assistant to call people in.

"Hmm? Still my fellow villager? Unfortunately, it's not the same city." Shu Chang smacked her lips and muttered.

A minute later, when a girl also walked in nervously, Jiang Xuerou's eyes lit up, and she nodded with satisfaction: this appearance is very suitable for costume dramas!

"Professor Lin, Producer Liu, Producer Jiang, hello."

"You should put me behind, Producer Liu is the boss here!"

Lin Nan couldn't help but tease, Liu Yifei gave him a proud white eye with a smile, a very sweet one.

Jiang Xuerou and Shu Chang were also amused. Only Meng Ziyi, who was preparing for the audition, was a bit embarrassed, standing there at a loss.

The acting department is very shrewd, the Meng Ziyi in front of her is one of the students stuffed into Lin Nan's elective course. As for the reason, maybe it's because she looks pretty good?

After all, it's the Beijing Film Academy Chen Yanxi, appearance is the most important!

"Relax, you have five minutes of preparation time..."

At this moment, the aura of Liu Yifei as a big producer and top star was very intimidating;

So much so that Meng Ziyi was dazed for a moment, and then she clumsily took the "test question" from the assistant.

Outside, the war of words was inevitable, because Huayi was directly naming and firing.

However, the first to "enter the war" were always the audience and fans who were alluded to, and netizens who couldn't stand Feng Xiaogang's "bird look."

"So many years, so many big directors, only Feng Xiaogang scolds the audience and fans publicly time and time again. Do we owe him? Are we cheap?"

"Turning his face faster than turning a book, praising the audience when the box office is good, and scolding the audience when the box office is bad! Anyway, he must earn at least one of reputation and box office, otherwise it's the audience's fault!"

"After more than ten years, how thick his face is, how shameless he is, how opportunistic his personality is... isn't it clear to everyone?"

"No wonder he can play 'Mr. Six', where is this acting? This is his true self!"

"Director Feng scolded correctly, it was originally a bad film. It's because you group of garbage paid for it that led to so many bad films now..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Director Gao Qunshu suspected of posting to call for a boycott of *Bad Guys Always Die*... Director Feng Xiaogang liked it by mistake?"

"*Mr. Six* originally crushed bad films like *Bad Guys Always Die*, Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng can crush Deng Chao at will..."

Enlight Media, promotional department conference room.

At this moment, Deng Chao is also here.

Unlike Wang Changtian, who had a gloomy face and was on the verge of breaking out, he could only endure it aggrievedly, his face extremely helpless.

Because whether it is seniority, influence, connections in the industry, or the capital behind him, he is far behind Feng Xiaogang.

The incense fire relationship at Huayi back then had already completely vanished from the moment he didn't compete with Huang Xiaoming and then took the initiative to propose not to renew the contract;

This time, the other side even played dirty tricks...

"President Wang, this kind of thing can only be done!"

"This is the logic, the internet is in a mess, and the circle is watching jokes. We can't be cowardly, if we retreat, the momentum will be weak, and those netizens, audiences, and fans who support us will scold us!"

"President Wang must come personally, only in this way will the aura not be weak, and the industry will know our attitude..."

The chattering suggestions were constant, and the opinions of everyone present were very unified, because everyone could see that President Wang meant this.

"In the first week, our box office will definitely crush Huayi, this is determined by the film's attributes.

In the second week, hehe, *Detective Chinatown* will be released... *Mr. Six*? I want the box office, and I also want the attitude!"

Wang Changtian said coldly, and then looked at Deng Chao, "Don't worry, with Huayi, it's not over yet!"

Can only say that today's entertainment news shocked the entire film and television circle.

But these two films only involved two giants, and at most brought along Deng Chao's small company;

So the peers in the industry were almost all watching with the mentality of watching the fun or even hoping that both sides would suffer.

And the actors and artists in the circle hid far away, for fear of being affected, including all the main actors in the two films except Feng Xiaogang, Deng Chao, and Sun Li.

Of course, the fans of the two little fresh meat put their "idols" in front; these two are destined not to run away!

Approaching 11:30 in the morning, taking advantage of Liu Yifei, Jiang Xuerou, and the three of them auditioning Song Yi from the Central Academy of Drama inside, Lin Nan came out to get some air.

Amidst the greetings of a group of young faces, he went downstairs, and then was surrounded by media reporters... actually still squatting?

"What? Say it again."

Lin Nan was stunned and asked in surprise, wanting to confirm again.

"Lin Dao, what do you think of the war of words between President Wang of Enlight Media and Director Feng Xiaogang?"

"What do I think? I've been auditioning all morning, what do I have to look at? Where do I have time to look?!"

Lin Nan asked several rhetorical questions in a row, which immediately stunned the reporters. It seems so, Lin Dao has been busy here all morning?!

After dealing with the media in a few strokes, Lin Nan didn't go to the conference room after returning to Xingwu, but sat in Liu Yifei's pink office and flipped through the news.

"Good heavens, scolding the audience again?

Tsk tsk tsk, President Wang is firm! This wave is fierce..."

Lin Nan "gossiped" with relish.

Just past nine o'clock, Feng Xiaogang fired.

Approaching 11 o'clock, Wang Changtian publicly retorted:

"'Mr. Six' is what? It was originally a clear derogatory term! It's that group of gangsters, hooligans, ruffians, and scoundrels in the old days, who often go in and out of prisons and detention centers like home.

Isn't a film that whitewashes and praises old gangsters, old hooligans, old ruffians, and old scoundrels really incorrect in values? Why go to the cinema to watch such a film?

And what about the world, brotherhood, sentiment, one-on-one, fighting, using the rules of Mr. Six to solve problems? Where does this put the law? They are all fish that slipped through the net during the crackdown!

Furthermore, this film *Mr. Six* is also insulting the word 'Mr. Six', because the protagonist Feng Xiaogang doesn't reach the class of 'Mr. Six' at all, at most he is a 'rice worm' who has no prospects and complains about heaven and people.

Finally, let me say one more thing, if the box office is not as good as others, don't be furious if you can't afford to lose; it's been so many years, still this face, no one owes you! The box office is not good now, and when you meet *Detective Chinatown* later, you will only die more miserably and uglier..."

Lin Nan tapped his forehead with his hand, really couldn't hold back his laughter.

Feng Xiaogang smashed Enlight Media's pot, Wang Changtian directly dug Huayi's root—on stance, on values, and the key is that there is no way to refute it, it's really funny!

"8.3 million..."

When seeing this number, the smile on Lin Nan's face immediately restrained; the next second, he couldn't help but sigh again, it seems it's really impossible.

Not only him, China Film Group is also talking about this matter at this moment.

"A good 2 billion, this is visible but untouchable."

Han Sanping complained quite speechlessly, and for La Peikang's behavior of not fighting for it at all, he really looked down on it.

Even if it was just to fight for four more days, that is, to take it off the screen on the last day of this month, *Mojin: The Lost Legend* would have more than 90% certainty to cross the 2 billion box office mark.

"It's a pity, I guess Wang Changtian is also scolding over there, but the war of words with Huayi is the most urgent. Haha..." Ren Zhonglun continued to be snide.

"Why not buy it?"

La Peikang frowned and said an idea that shouldn't have been said.

"Forget it, are you slapping Lin Nan in the face? He publicly scolded the behavior of Anle Film's box office brushing before, and now you want to brush the box office for a film primarily controlled by Lin Nan Film Industry?"

Han Sanping was very contemptuous, and then looked at the time, "Alright, I should go back, Jia'nu is waiting for me to have lunch."

"Then I'll go sit with you too... The bureau holds meetings as soon as the end of the year comes, and it will be several days again..."

Ren Zhonglun followed closely, he had nothing to say to La Peikang, and it didn't matter if he didn't eat China Film Group's meal.

Watching the two figures go away, La Peikang still frowned and didn't say anything to keep them, just let it be.

Outside China Film Group, Ren Zhonglun "mocked":

"I said if old Han does this, China Film Group will sooner or later be alienated, who will mix with China Film Group? Haha, but this is a good thing for our Shanghai Film Group."

Hearing this, Han Sanping immediately had no good face, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word of refutation, and finally could only nod helplessly:

"China Film Group that cannot help the people below and partners stand up, what is the difference from ordinary film and television capital? Indeed, there is no difference..."

The afternoon audition is going to start at two o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Jiang Xuerou found a high-end restaurant nearby to reward everyone at Xingwu.

"To be honest, Song Yi's acting is okay, but I always feel it lacks flavor, and when substituted into the costume fantasy drama, there is no feeling that makes people's eyes shine."

Jiang Xuerou picked up the food and said to Liu Yifei, Lin Nan, and the three of them.

"That Meng Ziyi is not bad, although her acting is mediocre, her brain doesn't seem to turn, and she speaks carelessly... but playing a supporting role in a costume mythological drama should be enough."

Shu Chang couldn't help but express her opinion, among the dozen actors in the morning, she thought this one was the best-looking, but her acting was poor.

"Looks like a bit of a nerve."

Liu Yifei nodded with a smile, and very naturally "stole" the shrimp meat Lin Nan had peeled, everything was so reasonable.

"So?"

Lin Nan is very sure that he must not have been in the conference room for the audition at that time.

Jiang Xuerou looked at Liu Yifei hesitantly: "Yifei, your meaning?"

Miss Liu raised her head, her delicate face was thoughtful;

She looked at Lin Nan and Shu Chang, and then nodded very seriously: "It's okay."

"Then decide on her, give her a supporting role?" Jiang Xuerou confirmed again.

"Hmm, count her as one, so that the college won't always nag."

Liu Yifei, the producer, nodded, and gave Lin Nan a proud wink.

In the afternoon, Huayi.

Regarding Feng Xiaogang's public firing online this morning, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei acquiesced;

Because this is not only Feng Xiaogang's consistent style, but also indeed good for *Mr. Six*.

"We and Enlight Media were never on the same path. After a series of 'promotions' by those teams and Xiaogang's voice, the public opinion online is favorable to us.

What 'Mr. Six' has incorrect values, how many audiences will really care about and understand these?

In their cognition, only the impression that *Bad Guys Always Die* is a 'bad film' and 'garbage film' will be the deepest, because it is easy to remember and does not use the brain!"

Wang Zhonglei took over Wang Zhongjun's conversation, also showing a confident smile:

"Many directors and filmmakers have already helped us speak and stand in line. Judging from the feedback online in the past half day, the effect is very good."

"Don't stop the press releases, bite off as much meat as possible!"

"Okay, big brother. But Wang Changtian mentioned Lin Nan's *Detective Chinatown*, will he get involved?

Earlier, we disparaged the extension key application for *Mojin: The Lost Legend*!" Wang Zhonglei was a bit worried.

"Isn't this not involved, heard that he is casting at Xingwu; wait, look again, hope..."

When saying this, Wang Zhongjun also had no confidence and dared not be sure.

The audition is still continuing, Lin Nan is equivalent to a companion, watching Liu Yifei and Jiang Xuerou busy there;

Shu Chang will also interject from time to time to express her opinion, after all, she has also acted in many costume dramas and mythological dramas, and has the right to speak.

Graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, Lan Yingying, who was once recommended by the Central Academy of Drama teacher to Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, was also brushed off after her senior sister Song Yi in the morning.

Must admit that this is a very hard-working actress, with acting skills, but her appearance is obviously hard, and her costume appearance will not be good; and *Eternal Love* has a bit high requirements for the actors' appearance! Can only look at the future, whether there is a chance for cooperation.

"Producer Liu, Lin Dao..."

Looking at Nazha in front of her, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Xuerou all couldn't help but show a trace of speechless smiles.

This is from the Beijing Film Academy, and her appearance is also very good, but... it's really a "sinful fate," she refused Yue Jun at the beginning.

Tang Ren.

Cai Yinong's expression changed from blank to slowly "sober."

"You mean Nazha and Chen Yao both went to Xingwu to participate in the audition?"

"Yes, they reported to the company before, and both of their audition times are this afternoon.

And they are both from the Beijing Film Academy, so they have an advantage this time. I heard that it seems that Producer Liu publicly promised before that she would use Beijing Film Academy..."

Hearing the secretary's particularly affirmative answer, Cai Yinong was also somewhat lonely while surprised.

The company is getting harder day by day, and it has long been unable to produce any good resources.

Hu Ge is fine, he has made some connections outside;

Liu Shishi doesn't need to be mentioned, ever since she hooked up with Wu Qilong, she hasn't been on the same path as Tang Ren, and the marketing routines she learned in the company have been used handily... now just waiting for the contract to expire...

As for the rest of the artists, that is the real difficulty.

"If there is news, notify me immediately."

"Okay, President Cai."

Watching the secretary leave, Cai Yinong frowned; she didn't think the two artists of her own company had much success rate, it should be very, very low...

Over at Xingwu, undoubtedly, Nazha was brushed off.

Because there is already a Reba in the play, no second "competing product" is needed.

"Chen Yao?"

"It's me, Director Jiang. Producer Liu, Professor Lin."

Lin Nan also sat up straight, another student in his elective class.

"I've seen your web drama role, very good." Shu Chang, who was sitting next to Liu Yifei, commented with a smile.

"Teacher Shu Chang praised, it's been a while."

Chen Yao thanked her quickly, very polite. As a child star, and with many works and good acting skills, Shu Chang is worthy of being called "Teacher."

"Try this audition topic, villain."

Liu Yifei pulled a note out of the folder with a playful expression and handed it to the assistant.

Enlight Media, Wang Changtian has called Lin Nan several times, but it has been unreachable.

In the Weibo he retorted to Feng Xiaogang and Huayi this morning, he brought Lin Nan's *Detective Chinatown*.

He thought, just let Lin Nan help. Who let Huayi disparage the extension key application for *Mojin: The Lost Legend* a few days ago, let's dry *Mr. Six* together!

"Is this Xingwu installed with a signal jammer?"

Wang Changtian complained while hanging up the sixth phone call.

"Lin Dao should be afraid of being disturbed, so he turned on flight mode?"

Yue Jun smiled on the side, he came over in the afternoon to communicate matters related to the premiere and celebration banquet.

China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group are far away, one relationship is far, one distance is far;

Wanda's Ye Ning said it was casual, so it could only be negotiated and planned by Lin Nan Film Industry and Enlight Media.

"The night after tomorrow, the CPPCC Auditorium, hold the premiere first, then the celebration banquet and dinner! Xie Nan is the host... I will let Enlight Media people go together to assist."

"Good, then that's it."

Regarding Chen Yao, there was a disagreement.

Jiang Xuerou felt that she was from Tang Ren, and Tang Ren's reputation in the industry was not very good, and even squeezed out, so it could be given or not, preferably not.

Shu Chang felt that there was no need to be so particular, it was just a supporting role, give it if it's suitable.

As for Lin Nan, what did he say?

Before *Wu Xin: The Monster Killer* started broadcasting, Yue Jun sighed with him, saying that Tang Ren dug up a treasure, but it was precisely because of Tang Ren that a seedling was ruined.

Furthermore, Chen Yao is indeed a student in Lin Nan's class.

"Xixi, what do you think? You are the boss of Xingwu, the producer of *Eternal Love*!"

Liu Yifei heard this, looked at Lin Nan, "Acting department, how about these two? They seem to be classmates?"

"Hmm, they are classmates, 13th grade of Beijing Film Academy, 11 grades lower than you two."

Shu Chang interjected with a smile, but suddenly restrained her smile: "Why does it sound like the three of us are old? But clearly still very young!"

"It's not that we are old, it's that they are too young, only 20 years old! And you and Xixi debuted very early." Lin Nan tapped Shu Chang, and was glared at by her with wrinkled nose.

"Yifei, your meaning, decide on her?" Jiang Xuerou asked.

"Decide on her, these two are the only students from Beijing Film Academy." Liu Yifei made the final decision again, full of aura!

Approaching five o'clock in the afternoon, the third actress born on the first day of the audition was born:

Kang Keren, 14th grade of the Central Academy of Drama Chen Yanxi. She is the girl who left an impression on Lin Nan and Liu Yifei when they went to the Central Academy of Drama to promote *Detective Chinatown* last time.

Just past five o'clock, the audition actors left one after another, and there were not even a few media reporters left.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Jiang Xuerou finally got off work.

"Let's go, take a day off tomorrow, continue the day after tomorrow!" Liu Girl drove when she came, and Lin Nan changed when she went home!

"Xixi, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"Hmm, good, I'll wait for you."

Car by car, Shu Chang and Liu Yifei waved and agreed.

Including traffic jams, the journey of more than an hour, Lin Dao and Producer Liu finally arrived home.

Dropping the bag, Liu Yifei went straight to the room, ready to change clothes and take a bath.

And Lin Nan was forced to answer the "harassment call" in the living room on the first floor.

"You finally answered the phone! His uncle, I was full of fire today, did you see the news?"

"Saw it, President Wang is rarely grumpy. I was just saying with Yifei on the way back, the simplest commercial war is like this, go up and scold directly! Hacha..."

Lin Nan really couldn't hold back, Wang Changtian and Huayi were the focus of the entire circle today.

"Those two dog days of Huayi, didn't mean to stop at all. When it comes to playing internet water armies, Enlight Media is indeed not as good as them, our advantage is in the SARFT!

Lin Nan, make a wave? One of the main competitors of *Detective Chinatown* should be *Mr. Six*.

A film like *Bad Guys Always Die* is all about the first week's box office, it's impossible to have an intersection with *Detective Chinatown*. Last time Wang Zhonglei disgusted us at the film press conference!"

Facing the "warm" invitation of old Wang, don't say, Lin Nan is a bit moved.

How about, add a knife to him? Also snide him once?

"President Wang has been calling for an afternoon, just waiting for me here, right?" Lin Nan joked.

Hearing this tone, Wang Changtian understood immediately, Lin Nan agreed.

"This is what you said, we are in the same camp! Especially *Detective Chinatown*, this is the first commercial film after you won three international awards from the end of last year to the beginning of this year. Although it is the first time involved in this type of subject matter, the box office will definitely not be low, so you have to pay attention. Hehe..."

"Fine, makes sense."

Two minutes later, Lin Nan hung up the phone. He sat there, holding the tablet, and started to strike back with a smile:

"Accompanied Producer Liu to audition and cast for a day at Xingwu, and just came back to see today's film and television entertainment headlines and focus information, I really learned something.

Everyone is a decent person, actually there is this kind of indecent public opinion war method? That is, go down to the field directly, publicly disparage the competitor's film!

I think I should have learned it, should I use it on the 31st of this month, which is also the day *Detective Chinatown* is released on the last day of this year?

For example, I publicly shout at the competitor of *Detective Chinatown*, let's give an example, I'm talking about giving an example, everyone don't bring it into reality:

Just take *Mr. Six* as an example, can I also post a Weibo when the time comes, and shout: '*Mr. Six* is really garbage, it's a garbage film with incorrect values, everyone should come to watch *Detective Chinatown*!' Speaking of which, it should be possible to operate like this, right? After all, there is a precedent today!

In addition, I guarantee that I will definitely not scold the audience as garbage while 'ordering' the audience to contribute the box office... My character should be trustworthy!"

After seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Dao's "strike back" Weibo was updated!
