Chapter 637

~11 min read 2,121 words

It's really going to be the Year of the Monkey, and the "exposure rate" of the Six-Teacher on the internet is getting higher day by day.

In the afternoon, after Enlight and Wang Baoqiang announced the news that the Six-Teacher would participate in the film *Buddies in India*;

The popularity of related topics on the internet immediately began to soar in a straight line, almost dominating the list.

And every time it reaches this time, *Journey to the West* is inevitably mentioned twice;

But this time it was also okay, the Six-Teacher just said "the behavior of randomly changing *Journey to the West* is an act of being sorry to the ancestors";

As for his other speeches, they were all affirmations of Wang Baoqiang and the core ideology of the film *Buddies in India*.

To tell the truth, although the film hasn't started filming yet, and even the casting work hasn't officially started, it has indeed already eaten the "dividend" of the Six-Teacher.

So much so that *Buddies in India* is unanimously optimistic and expected by the entire film circle and the whole internet;

Different from the latter being purely looking forward to the film and looking forward to the Six-Teacher's "Sun Wukong" scenes, the former is just purely utilitarianly optimistic about the film's box office results.

Lin Nan is embarrassed to say the routines of Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang, it seems that these two people are going to use the Six-Teacher as one of the main gimmicks and selling points to promote and create momentum;

But in fact, Lin Nan knows the script, the Six-Teacher is just a guest actor.

This is a bit deceptive... it can't be considered deception, it should be said that it is an intentional misleading of the entire internet audience!

"The promotion team means this, Baoqiang and I also think this marketing plan is very good;"

"Don't worry, we have already communicated with the Six-Teacher before, he promised to cooperate with the promotion... after all, what we gave is the salary of the lead actor..."

Fine, hearing Wang Changtian say this, Lin Nan understood, this is what happens when the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about, after all, artists also have to eat!

"Fine, you'd better be careful."

Lin Nan kindly reminded, "cheating" the audience too much is very damaging to one's reputation.

"Mm, I have a count in my heart. I can only say that 'sentiment' is a 'sharp weapon' in film promotion now, and it works every time."

"But when 'sentiment' becomes a common and main means of promotion in the film market, the industry as a whole is going downhill.

The 'downhill' I'm talking about doesn't refer to output value, but the quality of film and television works!"

Lin Nan frowned slightly, a bit emotional. Let's manage himself well, it's not bad to be able to stay out of it and not be dragged into the water, manpower cannot reverse the general trend of the industry.

"Only you can say this, who told Lin Nan Film not to be listed! Enlight is not, profit must be placed in the first place, whichever marketing plan is easy to use must be chosen."

"Before the company goes public, it is naturally quality-first; but after the company goes public, the core task of the enterprise changes, changing to the management and operation of capital and resources."

"In this regard, you still lack experience, wait until Tudou goes public, you will slowly understand; listed companies that cannot adapt to functional changes will be eliminated!"

Good heavens, this is the first time someone has talked to Lin Nan about this topic nakedly.

He admits that Wang Changtian is right;

When listed capital in the film and television industry harvests wealth, it doesn't rely on work quality, but on promotion and marketing because the "thought" of the enterprise has changed.

In addition, those who can make money by reputation and appeal like Lin Nan are ultimately a very small minority!

"That's why I don't want to go public. Without going public, I am relaxed, free, and independent. How can I be as tired as you? President Wang, haven't slept in late for many years, right?"

Lin Nan's teasing words directly stunned Wang Changtian.

After a while, a hearty laugh rang out on the other end of the phone, "It has been many years since I slept well, haha..."

A large-scale historical ancient costume drama called *The Advisors Alliance* was launched low-key in the afternoon, but the movement was not small.

Saying it was low-key is because this drama did not hold any launch ceremony or launch press conference and other activities;

And saying the movement was not small is because the film and television circle has already spread: the actor lineup of this drama is very large, and it was booked for exclusive online broadcast rights by Youku before filming.

Lin Nan didn't have much interest in this, but heard that everyone on the internet was teasing:

Saying that Yu Hewei alone can complete the "drinking wine and discussing heroes" shot, because Liu Bei and Cao Cao, he has collected them all!

The next day, morning.

Lin Dao got up very early, because Miss Liu named it, wanting to eat the breakfast he made.

At eight o'clock, the two checked the suitcase again, and after confirming that nothing was left behind, Lin Nan put it in the trunk.

Liu Yifei, wearing a dark red down jacket, warm trousers, and small leather boots, paced with small steps behind Lin Nan;

Her fair, soft hands lightly covered her mouth, her eyes dazed and blurred, and she kept yawning.

At this time, Liu Yifei was truly like a silly little daughter-in-law, giving people a feeling of being wronged and needing care.

But don't be deceived by her appearance, she is just not awake and still sleepy, even though she has already eaten a bowl of noodles.

"Lin Nan, call me when you arrive..."

As soon as she got in the car, Liu Yifei put on a u-shaped pillow; after giggling at Lin Nan, she tilted her head and continued to sleep.

"Fine, I'm convinced by you."

Lin Nan smiled and rubbed Liu Yifei's rosy face, adjusted her seat belt, and then lightly stepped on the accelerator.

According to the plan, Liu will go back to her hometown this time for at least half a month, and will not come back until after the 20th of this month.

The Mercedes business vehicle drove steadily on the road... and at this time, the film and entertainment news outside had already become the latest trending focus.

*Detective Chinatown*'s daily box office on the sixth day of release, the super high daily box office of 166 million, still made all other films difficult to see its back.

But these are secondary, the news that is most eye-catching to the industry today comes from the three major art colleges.

"Starting from eight o'clock this morning, the three art colleges of Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy took the lead in opening the 2016 art exam enrollment registration channel, for a period of 10 days, nearly 100,000 candidates flocked to it... art colleges such as Beijing Dance Academy and Communication University of China will also start online registration in the near future..."

"It is reported that Guan Xiaotong, Zhang Zifeng, and many other child stars will participate in the 2016 art exam registration, the former is locked on the Beijing Film Academy, the latter intends to go to the Central Academy of Drama..."

After 9:20, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the airport.

Miss Liu, who had a beautiful hour of sleep, was still a bit lazy;

She squinted her eyes at Lin Nan, wrinkled her nose, and didn't want to get out of the car.

"Hurry up, blowing the wind outside will make you energetic."

After Lin Nan took the suitcase down, he immediately opened the passenger door and reached out his hand.

"Oh. Aren't you particularly looking forward to me going back to my hometown?"

Faced with Liu Yifei's pouting questioning, Lin Nan's first reaction in his mind was: is this a trap?

"What are you thinking? If I wasn't busy, I would have gone back with you."

"Fine, I believe you, remember the phone call every day; I'm just staying at home when I go back, at most going out shopping with mom and the others."

Liu Yifei showed a "fierce" expression, instructing Lin Nan.

At this time, those sharp-eyed paparazzi were also about to surround them.

"Hurry up!"

Miss Liu glanced and urged Lin Nan.

"Good."

Lin Dao smiled and dragonfly-touched, but was seized by Liu Yifei to "muma" a bite.

Immediately, she pulled the suitcase and ran towards the terminal building laughingly.

"Lin Dao, does Producer Liu have an announcement?"

"Going back to my hometown to play for a few days, and will be back in a few days."

"Lin Dao, for this year's art exam at the Beijing Film Academy, did you participate..."

Without waiting for the reporters to ask the second question, Lin Nan had already sat in the driver's seat and closed the door, and a few seconds later stepped on the accelerator, running away in a slip.

Every year during the art exam, it is the most "eye-catching" time for the Beijing Film Academy.

Whether it is the enrollment brochure or the posters and stands of outstanding alumni inside and outside the school gate, they are all so dazzling.

Because looking at it, it is a very naked big director phalanx, big producer phalanx... simple actors can only rank behind.

If someone counts, it is not difficult to find:

Just the Lin Nan Film system has five people on the enrollment brochure, and they have promotional stands; they are Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, and Yue Jun, which is very eye-catching!

When returning from the airport, Lin Nan specifically took a detour through the Beijing Film Academy.

Sure enough, even if you can register online, the queue for on-site registration is still crowded; it feels like coming to the scene can give you an extra bit of confidence, grasp, and success rate.

"Really... unexpected?"

Lin Nan caught a glimpse of Ning Hao's figure; good heavens, for the promotion of *Year Beast*, he is really trying hard, actually picking today to come to school... I'm afraid it's not intentional, right?

A big director doing film promotion at the Beijing Film Academy when the art exam registration is going on, how could the attention be low? It must be very high, because it is too eye-catching!

Film Bureau.

Chen Kaige's film script enters the review process, which doesn't need to say hello at all; because a group of people will take the initiative to stick to it and give care.

"Zhang Yimou has *The Great Wall* doing post-production effects, Tsui Hark's *Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back* is also the same, Feng Xiaogang also launched *I Am Not Madame Bovary* two days ago, and now Chen Kaige's script has also been submitted for review... plus Lin Nan's *Operation Mekong*. Within the next year or two, the domestic film market will be even more lively."

Tong Gang looked at Zhang Hongsen in front of him with a smile, the latter was not so calm.

"I say Director Tong, let's not talk about these for now. I looked for you yesterday, you give me an idea?"

"You don't have an idea?"

"I? I definitely want to pass it, but I can't ignore the life and death of others, right. But if I don't give it, it's really unreasonable.

After all, there is a first, second, and third time, how can there be a fourth time? I'm afraid they will find the bureau, and when they question face to face, there will really be no reason."

Zhang Hongsen waved his hand, still kicking the ball, his expression helpless.

Tong Gang took a deep breath, looking very calm, because in his view these are all small things.

"What you said is not bad, according to my understanding of Lin Nan, if it is really rejected this time, he indeed has a great possibility of finding the bureau and asking for an explanation face to face. Haha..."

"Then you can still laugh. Now is it to approve or not to approve? Give me a suggestion, I will execute it."

Hearing Zhang Hongsen's urging words, Tong Gang stopped laughing.

Instead, he picked up the "Extension Key Application Form for *Detective Chinatown*" on the desk and looked at it again, then said to Zhang Hongsen lightly:

"Film Bureau, reject it!"

"..."
