Chapter 773: Huayi VS Huanxi? Shanghai

Ang Lee should be considered the easiest to talk to and the one without airs among the top big directors. Look, he had only been in the capital for a few days, and he was running around for the Golden Horse Awards again.

It's just a pity that in the last three months of the year, too many big-name filmmakers were tied up with affairs and busy, so his face was completely useless this time.

Including Lin Nan, the vast majority of big names who didn't intend to go to the Golden Horse Awards didn't even think about it and directly declined Ang Lee's invitation to meet and reminisce...

At most, they would go to support his "Director Forum" and film premiere, as for the Golden Horse, let's forget it.

"Critique it, is Huayi very low-class this time? Feng Xiaogang also didn't leave any face for Director Gu at all."

"Before, it was just paparazzi reporting and netizens joking, but the circle has always been avoiding it; but this time it's good, the old owner directly slapped the hot search, you know the contract is only a few days away."

"Now Director Gu has suddenly become the joke of the entire internet and the entire industry, and Dong Ping is looking for people to suppress the hot search, lower the heat, and eliminate public opinion early in the morning..."

Lin Nan looked at the chattering Ning Hao, really not knowing how to "critique."

He had just hung up Ang Lee's phone, and this guy drove over, and as soon as he sat down, he was eloquent, chattering endlessly.

That's right, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wenli, Huang Xuan, Zhang Jingchu, and *Youth*, this hodgepodge hit today's hot search, and the gossip heat was not low, very persistent and very powerful!

Countless netizens followed the "lens" of the bad paparazzi and reviewed the "dog-blood context" of these two people and the third parties over the past ten years, which was truly dog-blood!

"Are you talking?" Looking at Lin Nan who seemed to be distracted, Ning Hao shouted again.

"What to say? It has nothing to do with me, I can at most say 'so lively'! Or say, you Huanxi are going to fight Huayi? Does that side know Director Gu is going to join you?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao instantly froze, and his expression became much more serious: "They should have found out, right? You mean to say that Huayi is also intentionally putting eye drops on us?"

Lin Nan was completely speechless and shook his head with contempt: "No wonder Huanxi is steered by Dong Ping. You can only be a founding shareholder. Do you believe it, Dong Ping is absolutely clear in his heart."

"Talk about business, don't attack personally. Also, I want to complain about Weibo to you, a shareholder. The hot search function module is truly disgusting, eating money from both sides."

"It costs money to get on the hot search, and it costs money to withdraw from the hot search, and suppressing the heat and dispersing public opinion costs even more money, and the price is getting more and more outrageous. That little thing in the circle has been made into an industrial chain and a big business by Weibo!"

Facing Ning Hao's broken-defense-style angry rebuke, Lin Nan smiled without saying a word. What he said was the truth, not false.

"Aiya, why is Director Ning here?" While Lin Nan and Ning Hao were "deadlocked," Liu Yifei, who was wearing a mask and holding a cat, came back from the neighbor's mother's house, mainly in a "lazy" posture.

"Originally came to ask your Lin Nan for help, but just changed my mind. Since it's already a matter between two companies, I won't bother you."

Seeing Ning Hao's serious appearance, Liu Yifei naturally realized it was business, glanced at Lin Nan, and didn't ask any more questions.

In Lin Nan's view, Dong Ping could absolutely handle these things, at most spending more money and more energy, but compared to a big director like Gu Changwei, everything was worth it!

"Do you want to drink something? Tea or coffee?" Liu Yifei asked kindly.

"Give me a hot coffee, freshly ground, I know you have coffee beans prepared all year round. Lin Nan also has no vision, I've been here for a while, and he didn't say to take the initiative to pour me a glass of water..."

Forget it, Lin Dao was complained about again. Liu Yifei nodded with a giggle, "Okay, you wait."

Before long, Miss Liu brought out three steaming coffees, and added milk for herself and Lin Nan.

After the three sat in a circle, Ning Hao also talked about another piece of business: "Reporting to you two, the script for *Country Teacher* has already started being written by our family's big screenwriter."

"The general magic modification direction is comedy and sci-fi, of course, it can't compare with your hardcore sci-fi *The Wandering Earth*. We plan to complete the script in the first half of next year, and then directly launch the project and prepare!"

Ning Hao was hitting a greeting in advance, letting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei have a number in their hearts, this project will start in the first half of next year!

"Understood, Director Ning and Head Writer Xing have worked hard." Liu Yifei praised with a giggle. This film, she and Lin Nan also had to participate in the production.

The 6th and 7th passed in a hurry. The National Day holiday ended here.

On the morning of the 8th, the box office results of the many films in the National Day slot were hung on the internet clearly.

*I Belonged to You* rode alone and led the way, taking an impressive box office of 690 million in 9 days, ranking first; and the daily box office was still over 30 million, full of potential.

Next was *L. O. R. D*, the total box office climbed to 350 million with difficulty, and the daily revenue fell to below 2 million, it looks like it's these two days.

As for that *The Adventurers*, it only managed to report 200 million after the entire National Day holiday. Looking at its state, it was typical of sunset and dying, also a life of two or three days.

Outside these three films, all other films were accompanying runs; none were eating leftovers, mixing a full meal.

With this, the promotion war for the many films in the New Year slot officially kicked off, smoke filled the air, and the gunpowder smell was full!

And near noon, *The Island* met the entire film circle for the first time.

"In the morning, Huang Bo Studio posted: Huang Bo's directorial debut *The Island* officially submitted the script for review today..."

"According to media telephone interviews: the film *The Island* is jointly produced by Bad Monkey Pictures, Red Star Dock, and Huang Bo Studio, written by Xing Ai, and jointly produced by Xing Ai and Liu Yifei."

"This film is the first film directorial work of actor Huang Bo, and he will also serve as the male lead... It is reported that the film's casting work will be launched immediately after the script passes review..."

"Bad Monkey Pictures and Red Star Dock's official Weibo accounts updated one after another around 10:00 AM, @Huang Bo Studio, @*The Island*..."

With the spread and fermentation of the news, in less than an hour, the eyes of the entire film and television circle were focused here.

In recent years, there have been more and more people in the circle crossing over to be film directors, but there are really not many top actors who have truly crossed over to be directors. And Huang Bo, this is a real Golden Horse Best Actor.

His honors in acting are only inferior to Zhao Yanzi on the female director side, and are significantly higher than Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and others.

Therefore, for his directorial debut, there were many people in the industry paying attention; what's more, this production team is an unquestionable top lineup!

Lin Nan didn't pay too much attention to the matter of *The Island*, he was connecting with the film promotion matters for tomorrow at this moment. The first offline promotion for *Operation Mekong* is naturally very important.

"Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing... Hmm? Teacher Chen Baoguo doesn't have many scenes, why is he still there?" Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and asked puzzledly.

"Lin Dao, this was mentioned by the Golden Shield side, it was named by the Ministry of Public Security. The meaning seems to be that Teacher Chen Baoguo played the leader's image very well!"

"The Ministry might be quite satisfied? You forgot, when filming in the Ministry of Public Security office, there were quite a few civil servants watching. Haha..."

Alright, Lin Nan was completely speechless about this reason, reasonable and reasonable; as long as the leaders are happy, everything is fine.

On the other side, Han Sanping was answering the phone with a smile.

"The Supreme People's Procuratorate did not issue an announcement to the outside world, but invited one-to-many directly, including various large international media, official media, and a few internet media. The time for the press conference is the morning of the 21st, and the location is at the Supreme People's Procuratorate... The health system side, Shanghai has already started communicating... The capital circle in the pharmaceutical field is easier to solve, in the country, there is nothing that administrative means..."

On the side, Han Jia listened with joy, and the joy was about to overflow from her face. Because the meaning in Ren Zhonglun's words was easy to understand, the progress of matters related to *Dying to Survive* would be accelerated again.

"Uncle Ren, can it pass next month?"

After Ren Zhonglun on the other end of the phone heard Han Jia's voice, he paused for two seconds, then gave an affirmative answer: "In my opinion, next month is possible!"

"Really? Then I have to go tell Senior Brother Lin later, and by the way, ask him how the storyboard drawing is going!"

"You go now, don't call, just go to their house and check the storyboard on the spot... I'll talk to your dad for a while." Ren Zhonglun said with a smile.

Han Jia understood the meaning of the latter sentence, this was to divert her? Fine, give you face. "Hmm, good idea! Old Han, I won't come back for lunch at noon, I'll be with Yifei, hehe."

As she spoke, Han Jia picked up the car keys and slipped out quickly, anyway, she didn't want to stay at home! Hmm, go find Liu Qianqian the rich woman, beg to be kept...

Watching the back of the little cotton-padded jacket disappear at the door, Han Sanping also withdrew his gaze, "Speak, what else?"

"Old Han, the municipal propaganda department mentioned something to me today. You know, although it was mentioned unintentionally while joking, in the system, where is there any unintentional thing?"

"If you have something to say, don't go around in circles with me!" Han Sanping was already serious.

"The municipal propaganda department hopes that this *Dying to Survive* can be taken to the Shanghai International Film Festival after filming and post-production... Old Han? Are you listening?"

"I'm listening to your grandfather, what are you pretending for here? You scared me! Also, you should be quite happy now, right?"

Han Sanping scolded speechlessly, the key was that Ren Zhonglun's tone just now also gave him a feeling that it was nothing good.

"Happy? Indeed quite happy, I won't hide this from you, just joking with you with that tone just now, hahaha..." Ren Zhonglun didn't pretend anymore and laughed non-stop.

"Is it because you are afraid that Jia will have a big mouth and go out and say it?"

"Hmm, her personality is too extroverted."

"But have you ever thought that *Dying to Survive* can't catch up with next year's Shanghai International Film Festival. Can that side wait for the year after?"

"Of course. Lin Nan is also quite busy next year, two films to be released, two films to start filming, and that *Marriage Story* still needs to win awards."

"*Dying to Survive* naturally cannot be released next year, as long as the release slot is placed in the second half of the year after next, don't violate the rules of the A-list film festival... just register at the end of next year."

Ren Zhonglun seemed light and airy, but actually said it quite excitedly. The global premiere of the participating films of the A-list film festival can only be placed at the film festival.

"Then let you go and tell Lin Nan when registering, after all, Shanghai has put in great effort and helped a lot this time, he should agree."

"Hmm, let's talk about it when registering, it's too early to say now. A few months ago he just spent energy and effort to film a movie to win awards, and now tell him to come again? With his lazy nature, I'm afraid it will affect his work mentality, passive sabotage! Hehe..."

Ren Zhonglun nodded and joked. He really hoped that Lin Nan could go to the Shanghai International Film Festival, and this time, Shanghai Film Group was also an important producer!

"Lin Dao, it's already October. We have had annual meetings for several consecutive years, how are we doing it this year?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan wanted to vomit blood. "It's only October, and that bunch of guys are already thinking about this?"

"Ah, isn't it. In previous years, it was about these two months, but this year there was a problem, so they ran to me in advance."

Yue Jun also had a helpless smile, Tiangong Color belongs to "heavy" assets, and is also a baby, the requirements of these people cannot be ignored!

"A bunch of tech geeks and science nerds, they really are purely adorable. How about giving them a half-month trip to Amsterdam at the end of the year? They can expense it and bring their families too!" Lin Nan joked directly.

"Then forget it, if we do that, our company will really make the headlines. The kind that even your Weibo shareholders can't suppress!" Yue Jun naturally understood Lin Nan's joke and teased back.

"Since it's 'limited Korea', then add that part of the budget to the annual meeting's prize pool. Don't invite artists to perform this year, we are all busy to death... solve it with bonuses."

"Also, those tickets outside, like the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and various satellite TV New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve galas, can get some back and scatter them to them." Lin Nan exhorted lightly.

"Fine, let's do it this way. But Lin Dao, since South Korean artists are completely impossible to circle money in the domestic market, then according to this trend, there should be a batch of domestic entertainment companies rising rapidly to fill the vacancy of South Korean girl groups and boy groups in the domestic market, right?"

Lin Nan looked up at the indifferent Yue Jun, having to admire that his own housekeeper truly has a keen sense of smell!
