Chapter 756

A remake that was originally lukewarm suddenly became popular on the internet, just because of a "supporting role" and a few sparse shots.

That's right, it's *New Frontier Swordsman*, which is about to reach its finale, with Jiao Enjun making a guest appearance as a supporting character.

And what went viral on the internet were his shots, the many shots where he belittled "Li Xunhuan," for example: It seems Li Xunhuan didn't teach you well, the Little Li Flying Dagger is nothing more than this...

In the words of netizens' complaints:

"After straightening his hair, he even scolds himself?"; "I originally wanted to scold back for my male god, but found out the opposite side is the male god himself!"; "The only one who can scold Li Xunhuan is Li Xunhuan..."

In view of the excitement on the internet, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who went out shopping in the afternoon, specifically called back to the company to ask about the post-production progress of *Eternal Love*.

The answer was that the post-production would be successfully completed and submitted for review by the end of this month; if there are no accidents, it will definitely pass the review and get the broadcast license before the end of October;

In addition, Mango TV has already arranged the schedule for this drama, setting it to start airing at the end of January.

It must be admitted that taking three and a half months to complete the production of the finished film after filming is truly not low efficiency.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned home with bags and packages.

The two sat on the sofa and began to count the "spoils" of the afternoon, but their butts weren't even warm yet when Han Sanping's call came.

"The film system has no obstacles at all, and the Publicity Department has already been handled.

We are currently pulling with the judicial system. Looking at the situation, it won't be too difficult, because the relevant legal provisions have been revised and finalized, they just haven't been officially announced yet;

However, we have already received specific news, around the 20th of next month... Now the biggest difficulty is still the health system and the capital in the pharmaceutical field, which is very hard to chew..."

The phone was on speaker, and after hearing Han Sanping's last sentence, Liu Yifei's movements of fiddling with the packaging box became much lighter.

Lin Nan looked at the gold-thread woven bracelet she took out, signaling her not to worry about the things on the phone and to continue.

"Didn't they say in Shanghai that they would help?"

"They promised, but we can't urge them, can we? Ren Zhonglun even went to make some side inquiries. It should be that they will only move in Shanghai after the Supreme People's Procuratorate holds a press conference.

As for how long it will take to take it down, I don't know, but I think it will definitely be much faster than us grinding slowly by ourselves!"

Lin Nan was a bit stunned. Everything was arranged meticulously and in an orderly manner, so why call him?

"So what is the meaning of Chairman Han's call?"

"Oh, it's just to tell you that you can start drawing the storyboards in advance. Once all the connections are cleared, we will immediately start casting while submitting for review!"

Suddenly, Han Jia's voice came from the other end of the phone, in a tone of "you're really stupid."

"Hi, does that need to be beaten around the bush for half a day?" Lin Nan complained speechlessly.

"It's mainly to tell you about the current progress of *Dying to Survive*, so you have an idea. In addition, Jia's meaning is that she wants to participate in this casting and have the deciding power;

You know, she definitely understands this script better than you. After all, for more than a year, most of her energy and emotions have been invested in it... She is Lu Yong, she is the experiencer."

Han Sanping said with a smile, his tone exceptionally gentle.

At this moment, in the minds of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei: When Han Sanping said these few sentences, he must have turned his head and looked at his "little cotton-padded jacket" with a gratified expression.

"Hmm, of course no problem. She almost made herself depressed, so naturally she is more suitable for casting than I am."

Lin Nan nodded with a smile immediately, fully accepting Han Jia's intention. In her heart, *Dying to Survive* might be the "little cotton-padded jacket" she gave birth to after being "pregnant" for a year and a half?!

On the 9th, Director Lin is having a birthday. And this day last year was the day of his wedding with Miss Liu.

However, he rejected the celebration proposal from Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, and also called Lao Lin to tell him not to worry, and that everyone should just do what they need to do.

Because there were already many people in the circle sending blessings, and even more fans making a fuss, Lin Nan suddenly had the idea of wanting to spend this day quietly.

Sigh, another year older!

"Yo, you actually ran to the company today? It's really beyond my expectations!"

The moment he saw Lin Nan, Ning Hao, who was originally crossing his legs and half-lying in his chair, sat up straight instantly, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"I suddenly realized that after today I'll be 33, and my mood instantly turned bad. What's the point of celebrating this birthday?" Lin Nan joked half-jokingly.

"Are you reminding me that I'm already 40?" Upon hearing this, Ning Hao's expression immediately turned sour.

Good fellow, Lin Nan was speechless all of a sudden. It would have been fine if Ning Hao hadn't said it, but once he did, he immediately reacted. Director Ning is also having a birthday today, so isn't he 40?

"Then why did you come to 'work' too?"

"Sigh... escaping reality, escaping age, escaping a life where I feel powerless, escaping our great screenwriter... cough cough, I'm already 40, birthdays and such, it's just like that."

Ning Hao was like a deflated ball, wilting in the blink of an eye, his tone a bit depressed.

"Yifei is at home preparing for the evening's event, Na Jie should be too, right?" Lin Nan sat down there, changed the subject, and left some face for Ning Hao.

"That's for sure, idle is idle, go see what auction items there are, and donate some by the way. For us, charity can be low-key, but it can't be absent, and it can't be 'fake'."

Lin Nan nodded, hmm, not to mention, Ning Hao has quite some insights.

"Then let's spend noon just the two of us. Oh right, I'm going to start making storyboards for the new script. When filming starts in the first half of next year, will you come and make a guest appearance?"

"Sure, arrange it as you like."

Near noon, Lin Nan and Ning Hao were shocked by the inexplicable trending press releases on the internet. To be precise, the entire film and television entertainment circle was shocked.

Because what Wang Changtian told Lin Nan a few days ago, that huge wave of traffic and press releases that Chen Hong bought for her youngest son, had really arrived.

And it was indeed as Old Wang complained, Lin Nan really couldn't hold back his laughter, because the content of these press releases was really too low-class, losing face for Director Chen.

"Director Chen Kaige's youngest son Chen Feiyu exposes a set of pastoral life photos on Weibo... At the age of 17, he is incomparably delicate and has already begun to show the potential of a handsome guy..."

"His son is like his mother, Director Chen's youngest son Chen Feiyu perfectly inherited his mother Chen Hong's appearance, with a height of 1.8 meters and full of idol temperament..."

"According to informed sources, Director Chen Kaige and producer Chen Hong intend to let their youngest son officially enter the entertainment industry, starting as an actor; I believe a new star will rise in the Chinese film and television industry in the near future..."

"Reporters called the *Legend of the Demon Cat* crew and confirmed from producer Chen Hong: Her son Chen Feiyu will indeed officially announce his first film work this month. The specific relevant matters will be officially announced by the producer in the near future..."

"Many senior filmmakers in the industry stated that Chen Feiyu's appearance is excellent, and he is a born actor and star."

"Many media outlets praised Chen Feiyu's outstanding appearance, resembling top traffic superstar Wu Yifan. Coupled with his good family background, his future achievements and stardom will definitely far surpass Wu Yifan..."

The phrase "resembling Wu Yifan" really made Lin Nan and Ning Hao laugh to death.

The youngest son of a Palme d'Or-winning director, born into a family of two generations of film directors, debuting as an actor, marketing his appearance, and also sponging off the "traffic" of a traffic star...

I don't know which company came up with this plan, they are really a bunch of "talents"! The most critical thing is, this plan was actually adopted? It's really a ghost story, a big joke!

"Sigh, it's not hard to imagine, this is another newcomer being held up by the stars; basically, he can be considered the most 'powerful' second-generation among the actors in the circle, right?"

Facing Ning Hao's teasing question, Lin Nan nodded with a smile and joked: "That's right, when he enters the Beijing Film Academy, his seniority will be higher than most of the teachers, haha..."

In one afternoon, the entire internet was swiped by the news of Director Chen's youngest son, and a large number of actors and artists in the circle offered "flattery."

However, Lin Nan didn't pay attention to it anymore, because he and Guo Fan, Lu Yang, and many employees who rushed to the company stayed in the conference room for half an afternoon, making final preparations for the official audition of *Operation Red Sea* tomorrow morning; and the people from the Navy Political Department would rush over tomorrow morning.

There are too many things, which is one of the reasons why Lin Nan doesn't want to have a birthday.

"... Zhang Yi is from the military drama troupe, so he can be considered to have a solid background. I think we can directly decide on him, no problem. I think the people from the Navy Political Department won't have any objections."

"Let's go through the audition process, it's an explanation to all parties."

"Then what about Lei Jiayin? To be honest, in terms of external conditions, he doesn't seem to be able to compete with Zhang Yi? Besides, there are no suitable roles for him among the core roles!"

"There are no suitable roles for him among the core roles, so go and try those supporting roles where the character positioning is relatively important but the scenes are few. As long as the audience can remember him..."

When Ning Hao applauded and welcomed Director Lin back to the "worker combination," the Bazaar side had already finished the red carpet.

Liu Yifei was surrounded by acquaintances and big names, appearing exceptionally dazzling in the eyes of outsiders.

"Sigh, why is it just Producer Liu alone today? Our Director Lin is too irresponsible, isn't he?" Huang Bo, in a suit, joked.

"Ning Hao is also quite ignorant, not coming with our great screenwriter, is he not wanting to pay the bill?" Xu Zheng started joking with Xing Aina.

"Those two are working overtime at Tiangong Color, two big men spending a birthday together by the way." Xing Aina held Liu Yifei's arm and teased directly.

"Yifei's outfit today is really beautiful, making her look even whiter, white enough to glow."

Li Bingbing leaned over, raised her phone and wanted to take a group photo. Liu Yifei naturally leaned her head over and raised a scissors hand with a smile.

"The evening gown I originally picked wasn't this one, but Lin Nan said this one looked good and even adjusted it, hee hee..."

After taking the photo, Liu Yifei playfully fiddled with the pink flower decoration above her lower abdomen.

"It is beautiful. There are hundreds of people at the scene, and you are the most conspicuous at a glance. Could it be that your Director Lin is having a birthday today, so he picked this one for you? Look, it's said to be a flower, but it really looks like a longevity peach. Haha..."

"Maybe?" Hearing this, Liu Yifei subconsciously looked down; then she couldn't help but laugh out loud. It really does look quite like one.

Talking and laughing, a group of people crowded Liu Yifei and Xing Aina toward the front row of the venue, incomparably conspicuous and enviable.

Sometimes, things always happen to come together by coincidence.

Lin Nan originally said he would get off work with Ning Hao at 6:30, but who knew that when there was half an hour left, Wang Changtian called.

Look at this, the two of them simply "left early," just to give Wang Changtian face and go to the dinner party.

"This is really awesome! Before the divorce, you ran over to ask for a share? And you can directly sell that half to Light Chaser Media?"

Sitting at the dinner table, Ning Hao was shocked by this operation and this request.

"The person who brought people to Light Chaser Media this afternoon raised the conditions in my office. Baoqiang was originally doing post-production in the production department, and after hearing the news, he immediately came to the 12th floor and almost started a fight."

Wang Changtian smiled speechlessly, which can be considered as watching a wave of excitement. In addition, Light Chaser Media has already suppressed this afternoon's incident, and the media will not know.

"With a cost of 110 million, Baoqiang's company originally invested 20 million. Her meaning is to sell her share, which is 10 million, to Light Chaser Media?" Lin Nan asked again to confirm.

"Hmm, yes, and it's calculated based on a 1 billion box office."

"Is this brain flooded? *Buddies in India* hasn't been released yet, and you dare to calculate like this?" Lin Nan scolded bluntly.

"Actually, it's not impossible to reach 1 billion. After all, their family has always been at the center of public opinion, and the public's attention to this film is too high. They will definitely enter the cinema with a sympathetic mentality..."

Wang Changtian said very confidently. This is also the analysis of Light Chaser Media's marketing department, but it has never been mentioned to Wang Baoqiang, because in the current situation, it is really not suitable to mention such things.

"Why are you in such a hurry for money?" Ning Hao was a bit puzzled.

"Why? Because all the accounts and assets of her and her family have been frozen. Wang Baoqiang has funds provided by Light Chaser Media, who does she have to help? Used to luxury, she can't stand it now!

Chairman Wang, this matter is non-negotiable. If you come to make trouble next time, throw them out directly."

Lin Nan said angrily, this is indeed a problem. The higher the box office of *Buddies in India*, the more shares this woman gets, which is really a bit disgusting.

Hearing Lin Nan's explanation, Ning Hao understood. I saw Wang Changtian nod:

"I have already communicated with Baoqiang this afternoon. His lawsuit will definitely not end in a year or a half.

But *Buddies in India* is the Spring Festival slot, and the box office share cannot be delayed for so long; so his share will not be divided for the time being and will be temporarily stored at Light Chaser Media. When the judgment is made, it will be divided..."
