Chapter 713: Wrap-up; Lin Dao Starts Spraying Again!

"This kind of large-scale nationwide boycott and 'cyber-bullying' of a film and its creators is the first time it has happened.

The traffic on Weibo is too huge, it's all related posts and scolding, and it's completely composed of teams spontaneously formed by ordinary netizens, converging into a wave!"

*Marriage Story* crew, Lin Nan was dozing off in the director's chair, while Zhou Xun and the others were gossiping energetically.

The recent surrounding situation was very bad, causing countless Chinese people to be in a state of emotional stress;

And at this juncture, Zhao Wei and her film were undoubtedly hitting the muzzle of the gun, causing public anger!

But currently, it was only public anger from ordinary masses and vast netizens;

Because the circle was terrifyingly quiet, and there was no sound from the official side... perhaps, the movement wasn't big enough.

"Weibo is deleting posts in large quantities, which has already aroused the rebellious psychology of many people."

"Heh, it's impossible to delete them all. The speed of deleting posts is far behind the speed of additions, and it's tens of thousands of new additions every minute. This time, it's truly public indignation!"

"When countless ordinary netizens unite to do the same thing, it depends on whether they can win this time."

"Which capital took action?" Wearing sunglasses, in a short-sleeved beach outfit, Ning Hao ran to the set again.

"Zhao Wei is the second-largest shareholder of Alibaba Pictures, belonging to the Alibaba system, and Alibaba is also a shareholder of Weibo."

Yue Jun's voice followed closely, walking over beside Ning Hao. He beckoned to the makeup and styling team and handed over his niece, who was holding his big hand, to the other party.

"Let the bullets fly for a while, it's quite good to make a big scene, it's best to kill the chicken to warn the monkey." Lin Nan still closed his eyes, too tired to have any strength, and interjected.

"Will the official side take action?" Zhou Xun asked curiously. It could be seen that she really hoped to see the fun of Zhao Wei, who was also one of the Four Dan Actresses.

"Lin Dao, there's a call." Before Lin Nan could respond to Zhou Xun, his assistant interrupted his thoughts and ran over hurriedly.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the side, took the phone and handed it to Lin Nan after a glance: "It's from Wang Zong."

"Aiya, I remembered, the second round of financing quotes for Tudou officially ended today. I'm afraid I have to go to a meeting?"

Lin Nan sat up slowly, took the phone, and walked to a quiet place: "Wang Zong?"

"Lin Dao, tomorrow noon..."

"Mm, alright, I will arrive on time."

At ten o'clock in the morning, after the *Marriage Story* crew officially entered the filming state, many big companies in the industry also received "notifications" and "hints" one after another.

Enlight Pictures.

Wang Changtian was talking on the phone with La Peikang. With his status and position in the industry, he was fully qualified to let the chairman of Zhongying greet him personally.

"Mm, there are no cooperation plans for subsequent film and television projects, we will make temporary adjustments to the media side.

As for variety shows? It is indeed Enlight that is responsible for operations. I will notify the production team of *Running Man* later, no longer inviting artists from South Korea to come over..."

After hanging up the phone for a long time, Wang Changtian had an expression of gloating, picking up the tea on the table:

"No official document was issued, but a private greeting? This means that this 'Limit Korea Order' has nothing to do with the official side!

And whether the 'Limit Korea Order' can be thoroughly and comprehensively implemented, there should be an answer within two or three months, right?

But looking at this situation, I estimate it's ominous. Mm, some peers are afraid they will have to hurt their muscles and bones and vomit blood."

At this moment, the names of many film and television capital and units in the industry flashed through Wang Changtian's mind, such as Huayi, Mango Entertainment...

"Good fellow, I remember that Little Wang of Wanda seems to have signed many well-known South Korean girl groups in the past year, right? Hahaha..." Wang Changtian couldn't help but laugh.

Big Old Wang's son had engaged in so many girl groups, swearing to enter the mainland entertainment industry, and this was the end—dying halfway?!

Throughout the day, the storm of public opinion on the internet intensified, which could be said to be known to everyone in all walks of life.

And after nearly 40 days of filming, the *Marriage Story* crew finally reached the final scenes at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The male lead played by Lin Nan was ultimately a busy man, so "clumsy" in taking care of the child, and had no advantage in fighting for custody.

He and the female lead, Liu Yifei, after several conflicts after losing control of their emotions, and apologies after recovering their reason, finally sat down calmly.

They sat down like friends, dismissed their respective lawyers... re-understanding, tolerance, compromise, but only limited to a friendship relationship.

And the result of this marriage journey was: the male lead gave up, gave up custody, gave up the marriage... gave the other party freedom, complete freedom. Sign, divorce.

At five o'clock sharp, with a "Cut", Zhou Xun wrapped up.

And the whole film only had the last few warm shots left, among which was the most important sublimation shot of this film.

"We strive to wrap up within three days. I'll host on the night of the 29th, and the main creators will gather together. As for all other staff of the crew, there are red envelopes."

Lin Nan held the megaphone, and as soon as the voice fell, a burst of cheers erupted at the scene. Because everyone knew that when Lin Dao gave red envelopes in the crew, it was never lower than one thousand.

……

The next morning, the *Marriage Story* crew took a half-day off.

Looking at the public opinion storm on the internet again, it really didn't show any trend of weakening;

And the *No Other Love* crew still didn't have any response, just blindly suppressing the heat, thinking of every way to lower the hot searches.

But clearly, these measures were futile and a drop in the bucket, and there were signs of being bitten back by drinking poison to quench thirst...

Actually, most people in the industry basically didn't have the energy to care about this matter, because the curtain of the summer slot was about to open, which was the focus and top priority;

At this time, *Warcraft*, which had been screened for 20 days, finally showed signs of fatigue, hesitating at 1.47 billion.

Only one *Independence Day 2* was still carrying the flag for imported films, with a daily income of more than 30 million. Right, that was the one where Yang Ying played a bit part.

Up to this point, the collective appearance time of domestic films had arrived!

*Bounty Hunters*, *Big Fish & Begonia*, *Cold War 2*, *I Belonged to You*... *League of Gods*...

Lin Nan sat in the company's business car and arrived at the Tudou building. Many employees were greeting him from afar, all of them very clever.

"Are they all here?"

Looking at the administrative reception staff who came up to meet him, Lin Nan asked.

"Lin Dao, President Liu of Wanda has already arrived, Chairman Wang of Enlight is still on the way, Tencent is not attending today, and the other small shareholders have not been notified."

"Mm, then let's wait for Chairman Wang."

As they talked, the group went straight into the elevator.

To put it bluntly, Tudou's second round of financing was just for show to the outside world, after all, it had already been decided internally. But this process had to be gone through.

Near 10:30 in the morning, Wang Changtian hurried into Wang Wei's office.

At this moment, Lin Nan and the others were sitting around the coffee table, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking and laughing.

"Chairman Wang, traffic jam?"

"What do you think? By the way, did your company receive the notice?" Wang Changtian sat down and asked back.

Speaking of this question, Lin Nan felt speechless.

Zhongying could notify, but why mention the annual meeting? It wasn't just Lin Nan Film Industry that liked to find that group of South Korean girl groups to perform!

"How could I not receive the notice, Yue Jun is still worrying, worrying about how to hold this year's annual meeting? Haha..."

"This is also a good thing, with less of that group of people from South Korea, there is one less big mountain on the head of the mainland entertainment industry, and it will inevitably develop rapidly." Liu Xiaobin said to himself.

"That's not necessarily true. Without competition, there is no pressure, without pressure, there is no motivation, and life will be more comfortable... Maybe it will be more useless than before?"

Lin Nan joked half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the few people present didn't agree, all shaking their heads with a smile.

"Alright, let's leave the real business to President Wang." Lin Nan smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Wei understood and nodded to his assistant; immediately after, an A4 paper appeared in front of each of them, with data on it.

"After Weibo takes away 8% of the shares from our hands with an investment of 3.84 billion, our respective shares will change again.

Lin Dao will have a little more than 38.3% left, Enlight is about 14.13%, Wanda is about 15.07%, Tencent will be reduced to 9.2%, and the other dozen or so small shareholders together have about 6.85% of Tudou's shares...

Before submitting the prospectus in the first half of next year, we must prepare the plan for the number of pre-issued shares, and at the same time reserve option shares..."

In the meeting that lasted more than an hour, several companies reached many consensus opinions, all of which were small but very important points!

In addition, the 3.84 billion would be treated as the last capital injection before listing and would remain in Tudou. This also meant that Weibo would have to take out 4.174 billion at once.

Although there would be 4.174 billion more on the account, these funds could not be directly equated with Tudou's market value, this was common sense;

Tudou's market value was determined by factors such as copyright library, number of users, and market share; only when cash was converted into these things could it be considered as market value!

……

On the afternoon of the 27th and the whole day of the 28th, the crew filmed some trivial shots after the male and female leads divorced, and even went to the street to take scenes.

In the film, these few short shots were nearly a year of time.

The lives of the two had indeed become a little better.

The male lead was busier, his career was flourishing, and he had to direct two stage plays at the same time; the female lead picked up the dream she had before marriage, to be a film director...

On the morning of the 29th, the last segment of the scene began. Zhou Xun, Shu Chang, Ning Hao, and Xing Aina were all staring at the screen behind the monitor.

Lin Nan, the father, came to Liu Yifei's place to see his daughter.

The little girl was sitting in her room with two pages of paper that looked like they had been torn from a diary, densely written with words, reading stumbleingly; she still couldn't recognize all the words.

"'I have to rely on him to get things in order... in...'", I don't recognize this word."

"You're already very amazing, Yaya."

In the lens, Lin Nan walked toward the little girl. She glanced at Lin Nan and continued reading happily:

"He doesn't look in the mirror often... He is very emotional when watching movies, easy to cry... He is very, very..."

"Self-reliant!"

Lin Nan sat down beside Yaya, looked at the words on the paper, and taught her. It was Liu Yifei's handwriting...

"He can cook, he can mend socks. What is mending socks?" According to what was taught in advance, Yaya looked up and asked Lin Nan.

"It means sewing and mending, sewing up the small holes." Lin Nan taught seriously.

In the lens, the little girl didn't recognize more and more words, and Lin Nan taught them one by one just like that.

"He started from scratch to become a director, he is very strong, rarely has a sense of frustration, and I often have various irritable emotions, he can always calmly accept all my unreasonable troubles..."

Listening to Yaya's voice, Lin Nan's emotions became more and more wrong, and his voice became a bit hoarse.

"You read it, Dad."

Lin Nan took the two pages of diary and read:

"He can accept everything I hate, he is confident, talented, he is always organized, thoughtful... I liked him the first time I saw him..."

In the lens, the male lead Lin Nan's emotions were already in place, tears flowed down his cheeks, and his voice became trembling.

These two pages of diary, according to the setting, were written by Liu Yifei, the female lead, a long, long time ago.

He couldn't read anymore, because he knew it was all too late, what was lost would never come back, just like these two torn-out diary pages.

In the sub-lens, Liu Yifei was standing at the room door, also biting her lip, red-eyed, tears dripping constantly;

She endured it, not making a single sob, everything was in the past. That was the past, it was a memory.

"Cut!"

Ning Hao roared excitedly, and all the staff of the entire crew were instantly relieved.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still had some emotions in the play that hadn't dissipated, the two stood together, leaning against each other. Lin Nan hugged her waist...

"Really, the script of *Marriage Story* perfectly reflects the images and settings of you two, it's just a different ending from reality."

As a screenwriter, Xing Aina said without sparing praise.

Lin Nan nodded with a smile, grabbed the megaphone from Ning Hao's hand, and handed it to Liu Yifei.

The latter understood Lin Nan's meaning, immediately raised the megaphone, cheered up, and shouted:

"I announce, the film *Marriage Story*, officially wrapped. In the evening, we'll have a dinner! Senior Yue Jun, you can distribute the wrap-up red envelopes, and by the way, ask what time Teacher Hui Yinghong and the others can arrive this afternoon."

"Mm, alright!"

Yue Jun responded with a loud voice, and saw the assistant walk out of the dressing room holding a small cardboard box;

The cardboard box was full of wrapped red envelopes, two thousand each; and the ordinary staff and security of the crew, adding up, totaled over a hundred!

While everyone was happily and lively receiving red envelopes, Lin Nan and the others had already sat in the car to the restaurant to solve lunch first.

At the same time, the *No Other Love* crew and Zhao Wei herself, who had been under the pressure of public opinion and "cyber-bullying" for three days, finally couldn't hold on.

"Solemn statements" were issued one by one, piled up at noon, and the words were sharp, with a full sense of warning!

"At noon today, the film *No Other Love* crew issued a public statement:

Teacher Dai is a professional and dedicated filmmaker. During the filming of the film *No Other Love*, we felt this deeply. Regarding the untrue rumors about Teacher Dai on the internet, we hope to get to the root of the matter, and we will also fully support him in maintaining his personal reputation.

At the same time, for individuals or media that attack, scold, slander, and smear Director Zhao on the internet, we will hand them over to lawyers one by one, see you in court..."

"Taiwanese actor Dai scolded the vast netizens on Weibo: I will never accept the behavior of putting a hat on my head that does not exist at all, I will resort to legal means and defend my rights to the end!"

"Zhao Yanzi on Weibo ten minutes ago: 'People and behaviors that take things out of context are extremely disgusting, see you in court, not one will run away...'; but she deleted this Weibo two minutes ago..."

"Famous director Guan Hu expressed his views on Weibo, supporting actor Dai, the words were excessive and excessive:

Teacher Dai is my good friend, a gentleman, the large amount of distorted rumors on the internet is a great injustice to him, compared to the innocent him, those vicious rumor-mongering netizens are Japanese devils!"

"Director Guan Hu posted a photo of suspected 'Japanese soldiers raising guns' on Weibo, and wrote: Don't talk about pro-independence, or any independence, they are all deeply hated by me! This Weibo only existed for three minutes, then was deleted by the director himself..."

"Japanese-descended actor Kiko Mizuhara posted on Weibo to clarify, claiming that everything was a misunderstanding, she was completely unaware of her previous behavior, it was purely an unintentional like..."

……

From 1 o'clock in the afternoon, for a whole afternoon, the team-standing behavior in the film and entertainment circle began in a big way;

But undoubtedly, those who could stand up and speak out were all "supporting" the *No Other Love* crew and Zhao Wei, Dai, and others.

As for whether it was for buttering up, or truly being friends with Zhao Wei and others and knowing the truth? This was undoubtedly obvious, a matter that was clear to see!

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the news outside. After lunch, he went home with Liu Yifei, and Shu Chang, Ning Hao, Xing Aina, and Yue Jun also came along;

Zhou Xun went home to rest. After attending the wrap-up banquet in the evening, starting tomorrow, she would prepare for entering the *Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace* set, which was scheduled to start filming in early August.

*Marriage Story* had been wrapped up low-key, and the next thing was the matter of *Hanson and the Beast*.

The casting of this film was decided by Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in the evening after returning home from filming for three consecutive days.

And the people who participated in the casting, besides the two of them, were Yue Jun, who provided some suggestions on candidates.

No audition was needed, invitations were sent directly, and everyone agreed immediately. Because they were basically all acquaintances, and the shooting cycle was less than a month, and the shooting location was in the capital!

"Let's rest for a week, and start filming by the 10th of next month at the latest. Director Yue, go and do the film filing by the way, go in a week."

Sitting in the courtyard watching a group of cats and dogs chasing and playing, this scene was very comfortable, and Lin Nan also arranged the matters of *Hanson and the Beast* together.

It had to be said that these two films had indeed achieved full confidentiality before filming!

"No problem, Lin Dao."

"Mm, starting filming on the 10th is quite good. I just happen to prepare and prepare." Ning Hao nodded and joked.

Since *Breakup Buddies* wrapped up, it had been two and a half years, and he was going to be on the job again!

"Do you really not need us to invest a little more? It doesn't matter with others, but taking such a big advantage on your side, I always feel uneasy."

When it came to EQ, Xing Aina really threw Ning Hao more than eight streets.

There was no need for Lin Nan to be polite, Liu Yifei had already taken over the conversation with a smile:

"No need. Excluding the salaries of Lin Nan and me, the cost itself is not much, only fifty million. You two just need to provide people, Lin Nan and I occupy 70%, and you two occupy 30%!"

"Alright, then listen to Yifei." Xing Aina nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, no need to decline, after all, Director Ning has to hold multiple positions, haha..." Lin Nan teased and glanced at Ning Hao, who had an expression of disdain.

"Right, exactly, it's only right that we take 30%. Because the work we do is not small: director, chief cinematographer, producer, editor, half a supervisor!"

Ning Hao's complaint made everyone present laugh into a piece.

"Say it in advance, in the lens, 'beauty' is the first element!"

"Heh, the requirements are quite high, no problem!"

The six people chatted and laughed in the garden, teasing cats and walking dogs, until six o'clock in the evening before setting off for the booked hotel.

Although the *Marriage Story* crew was simple, there were quite a few big stars, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Old Jiang, and these people had all arrived.

Perhaps they were chatting happily for a while, so everyone drank a few more glasses, and by the way, congratulated Lin Nan on his promotion to full professor;

Then, somehow, they started gossiping about the things on the internet these two days.

Among them, Ning Hao had the biggest mouth, chattering, and said everything Lin Nan didn't pay attention to; this guy looked like he was idle at home all day, gossiping.

In Lin Dao's view, Guan Hu was the most disgusting one among them!

When the party broke up in the evening, Old Jiang couldn't help but pull Lin Nan aside and admonish: "I know your personality, you must not mess around.

If you publicly spray a few words, our Directing Department will really lose face, the teachers of those two goods are still alive..."

"Little Jiang, are you leaving or not?"

Before Lin Nan could mock Old Jiang, Tian Zhuangzhuang had already spoken from in front of the business car to interrupt the tug-of-war between the two.

"I'm coming right away.

You be steady, don't find trouble for me." After "begging" Lin Nan, Old Jiang ran toward Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"What are you chattering about, he's such a big person, does he have no judgment on how to do things himself? Need you to say?"

From afar, he heard Tian Zhuangzhuang scolding Old Jiang. This scene was truly hilarious.

On the other side, Liu Yifei, after hugging Hui Yinghong and Zhou Xun respectively, was holding hands and chatting about something, preparing to send the two to the car, while Shu Chang accompanied them on the side.

Ning Hao's wine had sobered up, and he leaned over to Lin Nan: "If you want to spray a few words, then spray, I'll follow behind you.

After all, only big capital like you who is qualified to hang on a street lamp has the confidence to spray Alibaba Pictures' second-largest shareholder and the Beijing circle's Guan Hu face-to-face.

My weight is still too light, but with you taking the lead, I can still follow a wave!"

Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao, and there was a trace of restlessness in both of their eyes, beating faintly.

"Wait!"

"Alright!"

……

Returning home after ten o'clock in the evening, taking advantage of the gap while Liu Yifei was taking a shower first, Lin Dao posted directly on Weibo.

"Today *Marriage Story* officially wrapped, so I had time to browse the 'big news' of these two days.

I just want to say that Guan Hu's remarks are truly nauseating, actually comparing a pro-independence element to a gentleman, while comparing countless netizens who are filled with righteous indignation and have very correct values to devils!

I seriously suspect that Guan Hu's butt is crooked? Is there a suspicion of eating inside and out?

Here, I also express my stance: I boycott this *No Other Love*, boycott and suggest banning this Dai and Japanese-descended actor Kiko Mizuhara. Mm, Director Zhao Wei must give an explanation, why choose these kinds of people?

Ps: I won't delete the post, it's useless to find someone to be a lobbyist!"

After posting on Weibo, Lin Nan closed his phone with satisfaction, and by the way, turned off Liu Yifei's phone.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei slipped into the quilt naked, the entire media circle was pulled out of the quilt by his Weibo—overtime!

……

It's a disaster, something big happened! No, it's big news—Lin Dao started spraying again!! ===== CHAPTER 714 =====
