Chapter 630: Advance Disclosure, Top Screen Face Lineup
It's really a coincidence, half an hour after the news of Zhao Wei's *No Other Love* low-key filming topped the hot search list;
The news that the film version of *Love O2O*, produced by Huace and starring Yang Ying and Jing Boran, officially started filming also spread.
Brother Huang became busy all of a sudden, helping his old classmate and former admirer advertise and promote for a while, and then helping his wife wave the flag and cheer for a while;
In just over an hour, he posted seven or eight posts on Weibo alone;
And among them, there were more than twenty photos of the opening ceremony of *Love O2O*, almost every one of which had Yang Ying... really let netizens eat their fill!
After lunch, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei didn't go home immediately, but strolled outside.
Because there are less than six days left until New Year's Day, the festive atmosphere is already extremely strong.
So Director Lin was forced to "telepathically" accompany Producer Liu to go shopping, not to mention carrying bags, but also paying the bill.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing down jackets and masks, and they were wrapped quite tightly, otherwise they would have been recognized;
But even if they weren't recognized, they were watched by many people for a long time, especially Liu Yifei, why is she so conspicuous?
"Director Jiang and Teacher Shu Chang are both inside, some actors are also waiting inside, and some are in their respective RVs outside."
"According to Little Zhang Ziyi's studio, Little Zhang Ziyi will return to China before the end of the year and plans to invest in acting work as soon as possible next year..."
"Qiao Zhenyu, Huang Haibing, Yu Bo, Zhang Zhiyao..."
Huayi's water army is indeed used to perfection, *Mr. Six*'s third-day daily box office continues to rise, reporting 68.3 million;
And on Enlight Media's side, *Bad Guys Always Die* is indeed as Wang Changtian and Lin
Its daily box office on the third day fell by another ten million-plus, reaching 1.25 billion!
In fact, the daily box office being able to drop this much certainly has to do with Huayi over there;
They don't dare to provoke Lin Nan, but when it comes to targeting Enlight Media and *Devil and Angel*, they have more than enough strength.
"This news spread really fast! As expected of the Performance Academy; I guess they never thought about keeping it confidential, and it might even have been spread intentionally."
Approaching eight o'clock, the car sped out of the villa again. Today, Liu Yifei was still driving because Lin Nan wanted to check the movie box office situation from yesterday.
"Isn't this something expected? Hehe..."
Not long after, Lin Nan received a harassing call. Now, as long as it wasn't serious business, he defined everything as "harassment."
"Lin Nan, what are you saying?"
And Lin Nan would still accompany her to Red Star Dock; anyway, his next serious matter wasn't until tomorrow night.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Lin Nan was speechless again. Sure enough, the closer people are, the more casual they are on the phone—hanging up immediately after speaking, without any hesitation.
Whenever this happened, Liu Yifei's morning grumpiness would always be suppressed by herself by eighty or ninety percent; this was a habit she had formed whenever work was scheduled.
"Also, let me report to you: that one million of yours has been fully allocated. Not a cent left, and not a cent embezzled, ha."
The red light ahead was counting down. Liu Yifei held the steering wheel with both hands, her exquisite face—wearing wine-red sunglasses—turned over to look at Lin Nan;
Her long, jet-black, beautiful hair was draped casually, reflecting the bright red morning sun outside the car window. The whole person appeared exceptionally bright and charming, a beauty not of this world.
"Hmm, satisfied now?" Lin Nan teased.
According to the audition plan, today was for a portion of young actors, including current students, as well as some invited male actors...
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were surrounded, and a barrage of chattering questions was thrown at them.
A few minutes later, the items in their hands had increased by one more—thank you for your patronage, thirty-two thousand!
"Tsk tsk tsk, these are all screen-god-level male actors!"
The only unreleased inventory Little Zhang Ziyi currently has that is already filmed is *The Wasted Times* (Valentine's Day slot) and *The Wasted Times* (which hasn't been scheduled yet); moreover, these two films were shot a long, long time ago—at least before she was pregnant.
"Understood, understood. Liu Yifei's favor, you really are thoughtful."
"You still have one last class, don't forget."
"My goodness, did they really settle on people from the Performance Academy?"
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, who was picking out a bracelet, and decided to reveal it in advance; anyway, it would only be a few days:
"Two have been decided, and notifications for invitations will be sent out in the next few days. I won't tell you which two specifically; you'll know when the time comes."
To put it bluntly, she has been away from the film circle for so long, and now that she has given birth, she wants to return... I'm afraid these resources won't be easy to find. Other big actresses won't easily give her a chance!
"According to confirmation from numerous students at the Beijing Film Academy Performance Academy, the large-scale ancient costume mythological romance TV series *Eternal Love*, produced by Red Star Dock, has cast two current students from the Beijing Film Academy Performance Academy. Specific personnel information is currently unknown..."
And if there are no surprises, this "International Zhang" will likely have to exert twelve percent of her energy to run connections and favors, wandering through various social occasions!
Outside Red Star Dock, it was even more crowded than the day before. Especially the media reporters—there were more than twice as many, and each one had an excited look on their face.
Looking at the wave of Little Zhang Ziyi news, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
This doesn't sound like a place for teaching at all; it's completely the style of a government agency or a film and television company. That is, it's the end of the year, time to summarize political achievements and performance!
"Getting up now."
"It's Producer Liu's car!"
"It is reported that the national art exam registration work will officially begin after New Year's Day, and the Beijing Film Academy art exam registration time is set for the 6th of next month..."
Indulging for a few seconds, Lin Nan reacted:
Rest on the 26th, continue auditions on the 27th, and the night of the 28th is the premiere of *Detective Chinatown* and the celebration banquet for *Mojin: The Lost Legend*!
Lao Jiang had a tone of great surprise; he had already prepared himself mentally to hear that all the Beijing Film Academy students had been eliminated.
"Has Director Jiang arrived?"
"I said Red Star Dock wouldn't be a small scene this time. Good heavens, so many top-tier screen faces... If they were all stuffed into the drama version of *Eternal Love*, just thinking about it makes the audience's blood boil..."
"Lin Nan, come over here for a second."
At this time, Liu Yifei was also calling out, and Lin Nan walked over immediately.
"Satisfied? It has nothing to do with our Directing Department. I'll tell them over there later; I guess they'll be quite pleasantly surprised.
Fortunately, there are quite a few Red Star Dock staff members who rescued the two in time.
"Get up quickly, lazy pig, it's already seven-thirty."
"The Performance Academy asked me to inquire: were any of their students selected this time?
You know, it's the end of the year; whether current students have received roles this year, and how many, are also achievements in their reports!"
Liu Yifei stepped on the gas, and the Ferrari darted out again.
After finishing her light makeup, Miss Liu urged Lin Nan again.
"Shu Qi, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting, Liu Ye... many first-line actors and stars in the film and television circle posted congratulations..."
It has been nearly 3 years since *The Grandmaster* was pulled from theaters;
"Can't forget. You called to harass me—it wouldn't just be to remind me of this, would it?" Lin Nan said with undisguised disgust.
"Hmm, got it. Also, let me emphasize again: those two students weren't decided by me; they were decided by Yifei!" Lin Nan specifically instructed.
"Little Zhang Ziyi updated her Weibo and released photos. She upgraded to a mother on the night of the 26th Hollywood time, which is this morning... Her husband Wang Feng posted a message of gratitude..."
"Director Lin is here too!"
Hearing this, Lin Nan was truly speechless; the Beijing Film Academy Performance Academy is becoming more and more "market-oriented."
And Lin Nan continued to browse the news. There was quite a bit of new information; Little Zhang Ziyi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also came out.
Early morning, another morning woken up by an alarm clock—who told him there was work.
"I said, the matter of *Eternal Love* casting two people at Beijing Film Academy—I only told Lao Jiang yesterday afternoon, but it's already on the hot search this morning."
"Alright, let's go in."
