Chapter 775

No man can refuse cannons and warships, especially this new ship that has been in service for less than 4 years, is 134 meters long, 16 meters wide, has a draft of 5 meters, and a full-load displacement of more than 4,000 tons.

Standing on the deck, the tiny individual looked at the boundless sea and sky in the distance, and a generous and vigorous emotion suddenly arose in his heart, as if his blood was burning at this moment.

This is Lin Nan's state right now! If he wasn't tone-deaf, he would have wanted to roar a line from Teacher Tu Honggang's *Loyalty to the Country*.

It wasn't just him; Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Zhang Yi, Luo Jin, and everyone else were excited at this moment, their eyes too busy to stop.

For the next half year, they have plenty of opportunities to come into contact with this guided-missile frigate!

"The feeling of standing on a warship and standing on that kind of large cruise ship is completely different." Liu Yifei pulled Lin Nan's hand, her eyes also deeply shocked.

"The 200 million military equipment cost budget for *Operation Red Sea* is mainly spent on the Lin Yi.

Lin Dao, Director Guo, Director Lu, do you want to hear about the weapon configuration of this frigate? Men, surely you are interested in this."

"Chief, this doesn't violate regulations, right?" Zhang Yi reacted the fastest and asked immediately; the rest of the film's creators immediately cast their gazes, pricked up their ears, and focused their attention.

"It doesn't violate, its parameters have long been public.

Here, main configuration: two 4-cell anti-ship missile launchers; four 8-cell vertical general-purpose missile launch systems; one single-barrel stealth naval gun; two domestic close-in defense systems...

Two triple torpedo launchers; two sets of 6-cell anti-submarine rocket launchers; 1 anti-submarine helicopter...

Ship-borne weapon configuration: HQ-16 ship-to-air missile, YJ-83 anti-ship missile, Yu-7 anti-submarine torpedo, Type 730 30mm close-in defense gun system, Type 3200 6-tube..."

Lin Nan is not a military fan, so he was confused; but listening to the explanation at this moment, he just felt it was pleasant, no reason why!

"You need to be clear about its honor. It is because of its meritorious service in the prototype event of *Operation Red Sea* that although the Lin Yi is 'new to the scene,' it undoubtedly won a collective first-class merit;

When filming, we also hope that the directors and actors can completely immerse themselves in it. You are the winners of the first-class merit..."

Honestly, don't say it; this "encouragement" from the Navy Political Department chief made everyone's blood boil. The enthusiasm of the crew creators was suddenly maxed out.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, as well as some people from the Navy Political Department, disembarked from the Lin Yi in an orderly manner; because the entire crew was about to set sail with the Navy Political Department and Navy teams!

"Just a joke, I just wanted to let them 'take' you two, Lin Dao, and not let you come down, haha..."

Good guy, hearing this sentence from the Navy Political Department chief, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were stunned on the spot, and then the two could only smile along. Leader, you are too daring to think, right? The consequences are very serious!

After three o'clock in the afternoon, when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were still on their way home, the news about *Operation Red Sea* online had already been thoroughly reported, and the popularity was off the charts.

"Jointly produced by the Navy Political Department, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and Lin Nan Film Industry, the Navy military-themed mainstream commercial blockbuster *Operation Red Sea* officially entered the intensive training stage today;

Directors Guo Fan and Lu Yang, as well as Zhang Yi, Luo Jin, Yu Nan, Zhang Ruoyun, Jiao Junyan, Xie Miao, and other creators, have set sail with the military in the afternoon..."

……

Huayi.

"The movement is quite big! When their movie is filmed, I'm afraid they can gain a lot of favor from the higher-ups again, right?"

During the break in casting, Feng Xiaogang said sarcastically. His tone carried both contempt and a hint of sourness.

"Obviously. What was the situation after *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* was filmed? Award stuffing! Lin Nan doesn't want awards anymore, so he has absolute control over *Operation Meigonghe* with his own company;

And *Operation Red Sea* was even handed over to Guo Fan and Lu Yang... He doesn't want it himself, but he can give it to his own people, and can also take advantage of the situation to pave the way for those two, increasing their 'resume' with the officials!"

Wang Zhonglei saw it clearly and hit the nail on the head, which also made Feng Xiaogang even more bad-tempered; he had fought for awards in the mainland for so many years, how many times had he been played?

"Don't worry, Director Feng. Next year's Golden Rooster, we have it in the bag!" At this time, Wang Zhongjun's "inadvertent" sentence directly made Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang feel refreshed.

"Chairman Wang, what do you mean?" Feng Xiaogang asked uncertainly, already having some guesses in his heart, to the point that his expression was a bit excited.

"Big brother, you have to know that after the millennium, among so many big directors in the country, those who won big awards at foreign A-list film festivals didn't have any good gains at the Golden Rooster after returning!"

Wang Zhonglei's eyes showed astonishment as he looked at Wang Zhongjun. What exactly did the latter do?

"So this can reflect the status of our Director Feng as a big director! Lin Nan, Gu Changwei, Jia Zhangke, they can't do it, doesn't mean our big Director Feng can't.

I remember before the millennium, only Zhang Yimou had this treatment, right? But those movies were all controlled and produced by film studios. Besides, times are different now, the environment is different, hehe..."

"Chairman Wang, so you mean next year's Golden Rooster?" Feng Xiaogang didn't care about Wang Zhongjun's words, but asked impatiently.

"After the Hundred Flowers Awards ended, wasn't the list for next year's Golden Rooster Committee already drawn? It just so happens that some of them can be connected through twists and turns; I think taking advantage of the popularity of this Golden Shell Award, we can completely conduct public relations, and I have already started public relations."

"Good!" Feng Xiaogang smashed his fist and shouted excitedly.

……

On the morning of the 11th, Yue Jun's phone call woke Lin Nan from his dream; fortunately, Liu Yifei got up early today and had already gone out to walk the dog in high spirits.

Outside, the script for *Nirvana in Fire: The Wind Blows in Changlin* passed the review after eight o'clock and was publicized;

And Daylight Entertainment also issued an announcement immediately: Starting from today, casting is open for the vast majority of roles.

As soon as the announcement came out, Lin Nan Film Industry, as a joint producer, was naturally "harassed" by many artists and companies in the industry who were eyeing this sequel to the hit big IP, and Yue Jun bore the brunt!

"Let Director Jiang look after it. For those acquaintances in the industry who can be trusted, take care of them if you can."

Lin Nan walked out of the room and ordered while going downstairs. Jiang Xuerou had been at Daylight Entertainment during this time, preparing for casting, and would represent Lin Nan Film Industry to participate in the audition and casting work next!

"Understood. There is one more thing, the Changchun Film Festival invited us again. They will hold the closing ceremony and awards ceremony in four days. I have already taken the liberty to decline on your behalf, Lin Dao."

"Hmm, thank you. There's nothing to go for; it's already decided that Teacher Huang will win the award. Oh right, the recent promotions are all in the capital, right? Where is the next trip further away?"

Lin Nan unconsciously thought about the movie promotion. Jin Dun participated in the promotion location for *Operation Meigonghe* this time; so it made him a bit confused, because it was being adjusted from time to time.

"The next one further away is Shanghai, on the 24th... It seems Feng Xiaogang also has a movie promotion that day, at Central China Normal University..."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Lin Nan finished washing up. As for breakfast? Hmm, let's eat it with lunch.

Relevant movie information about *The Great Wall* appearing at the New York Comic-Con was transmitted back at noon.

The National Teacher seems to no longer be the National Teacher he used to be. He praised Wang Junkai's acting skills quite high-profile in front of the camera, and for the first time publicly expressed his stance on the entire "little fresh meat" group in the country:

He will not exclude "little fresh meat" in his future movies, will give them more opportunities, and welcome them; because he believes that traffic stars have a bonus effect on movies, as long as they are used well, there is no problem!

Just like this, not long after the news came back, the internet was as lively as if it had exploded.

The fan groups of traffic stars were excited to the extreme, as if Director Zhang had already sent a collaboration invitation to their idols!

……

Starting from the 12th, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei, Ning Hao, Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, and Chen Baoguo to visit several universities such as the University of Political Science and Law and the Public Security University, almost conducting an *Operation Meigonghe* movie promotion every two days.

Of course, these places were all decided by Jin Dun, and it was the first time Lin Nan and the others ran to these universities for movie promotion. Hmm, all the teachers and students were really "disciplined," and wouldn't ask any off-topic questions!

And after *The Meg* officially started filming on the 13th, Li Bingbing only came back once.

As agreed before, she landed at the Capital Airport on Saturday night, and after participating in the movie promotion the next morning, she immediately flew back to Hollywood in a hurry without stopping!

To be honest, regarding the professionalism of the top actress, Lin Nan has always had nothing to say: very satisfied.

Time came to the 20th, and all the movies in the National Day slot, without exception, all retreated.

*L. O. R. D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties* is "stubborn" now with a box office of less than 100,000 per day, with a total box office of 355 million. No need to think too much, LeEco is definitely losing money, making things worse!

*Mission Milano* is also lingering, dragging on for a long time with hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, and tens of thousands per day, dragging to today's 220 million... It is absolutely impossible to make money.

The most eye-catching movie is undoubtedly *I Belonged to You*, jointly produced by Enlight Media, Lin Nan Film Industry, and Orange Image—930 million box office, which can be called a hit among low-budget movies!

Although it really doesn't count as a particularly high-quality movie, barely passing, it really lived up to that sentence: it all depends on the setting off of peers in the same slot.

"I can't go to the celebration banquet tomorrow. Yes, Yifei doesn't have time either. What's the matter? We are going to the Supreme People's Procuratorate to attend the press conference tomorrow."

"That blockbuster of yours with a realistic theme?" Wang Changtian is worthy of being an old fox, and reacted immediately.

"That's right, Chairman Wang can check the 'Lu Yong incident' and you will know."

"What? Filming this?!"

Lin Nan curled his lips. Forget it, it seems Wang Changtian knows about this. That's right, Enlight Media originally has media business.

"Hmm, the movie I'm going to film next is it. At the press conference of the Supreme People's Procuratorate tomorrow, new legal provisions related to this will be announced. Chairman Wang, do you think this counts as something 'recorded in history'?"

"It counts, absolutely counts, Lu Yong will also be recorded in history. Then that's it, you send Yue Jun over."

Wang Changtian smacked his lips, his mood was already a bit bad. What a "powerful" and "significant" realistic theme, unfortunately, there is no share for Enlight Media!

"Okay, Yue Jun will represent me and Yifei to attend the celebration banquet tomorrow."

Just as Lin Nan had just hung up the phone, the roar of a sports car came from far to near, and finally stopped in the villa courtyard. If there were no accidents, it was Han Jia.

Sure enough, when Lin Nan walked out of the living room to the door, he saw Han Jia taking advantage of Liu Yifei there, forcibly hugging and cuddling, really unreliable! Of course, Miss Liu was too lazy to mess with her.

"Lin Nan, come and see our admission passes, brought by Jia. We have to go in tomorrow morning, we have to wear it."

Liu Yifei carried the silver ribbons of the two admission passes and dangled them at Lin Nan. You have to wear it around your neck and hang it on your chest.

"Yifei's ID photo is also so good-looking, it really doesn't let others live." Han Jia pursed her lips and complained.

"You have to blame Chairman Han for this, he didn't pass on good looks to you, haha."

"Good, is Lin Dao saying that 'Mountain Eagle' is ugly? Then I have to pass it on to him." Rolling her eyes, Han Jia began to threaten Lin Nan.

"I testify, Lin Nan didn't say anything."

Liu Yifei smiled and put her arms around Han Jia's shoulders. The latter followed into the villa "reluctantly," still shouting that if she didn't treat her to a big meal at noon, she would never give up!

……

On the morning of the 21st, whether it was Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, or Han Sanping, Han Jia, Ren Zhonglun, and others, all got up very early.

Set off from home at seven o'clock, and arrived at the scene shortly after eight o'clock. The attire of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei was quite low-key, as formal as possible and not recognized.

When the group met, many media teams were already waiting outside the Supreme People's Procuratorate. But the staff still did not remove the isolation fence because it was not yet time to enter.

"Brother Lu?"

Approaching nine o'clock, Han Jia, who was chatting with everyone, gave a soft call, which immediately made Lin Nan and the others shudder.

Sure enough, looking along her gaze, three people walked from another direction. In the middle was Lu Yong, whom Han Jia mentioned.

The media also saw it and surrounded them one after another, but they were soon blocked by staff in uniforms, and Lu Yong was taken into the venue in advance.

"As a key figure in this matter, he should be invited to witness this moment." Ren Zhonglun said with emotion. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also nodded, it should be like this.

"Okay, let's go in." Han Sanping said softly, and the isolation fence was removed.

Nearly two hundred people gathered into a team in an orderly manner and walked into the venue of the Supreme People's Procuratorate one by one.

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, followed behind Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, and sat in the last row of the huge venue. At this moment, many media outlets setting up cameras behind them noticed Lin Nan's group.

"Lin Dao?"

"Liu Yifei?"

"Quiet!" Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun looked at the official media reporters behind them at the same time, and the latter immediately fell silent. They were all in the system, so they naturally reacted, it was these two!

On the stage, the spokesperson of the Supreme People's Procuratorate began.

Lu Yong sat in the front row, and his incident was mentioned again...

The relevant revised laws were also announced one by one.

At this point, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, and Han Jia knew that it was not just one regulation that had been modified, but many laws that might be involved were modified according to Lu Yong's incident, and even some regulations had their penalties increased!

However, the five of them only cared about the one they were waiting for:

"... For the act of selling a small amount of drugs privately processed according to folk traditional prescriptions, or selling a small amount of foreign or overseas drugs that have not been approved, without causing harm to others or delaying diagnosis, as well as the act of manufacturing and selling drugs for self-rescue and mutual aid by patients without the purpose of profit, it shall not be treated as a crime..."

It's this one! Waited for it!

At 12 o'clock noon, the press conference finally ended.

And at this time, Han Jia finally walked towards Lu Yong with peace of mind; she had no chance to say hello before.

When Lu Yong saw Han Jia, he was stunned for only a second, and a smile appeared on his face, "Little Screenwriter Han?"

"Brother Lu, come, let me introduce you to my partner who will 'write a biography' for you—Lin Dao Nan!"

Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, 'Medicine God.' I am the director of *Dying to Survive*, Lin Nan."

Hearing Lin Nan's self-introduction, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh, as did Han Jia, Han Sanping, and Ren Zhonglun.

And Lu Yong smiled even more brightly: "Lin Dao, hello. When Little Screenwriter Han first mentioned you, I was waiting for today. Hello, I am Lu Yong, I am not a Medicine God! Haha..."
