Chapter 819

"It's all real estate that delayed Old Wang's singing career!"

"Why have money? Just so you can have nearly a thousand people come to listen to you sing KTV, without worrying about being cut off."

"Listening to the richest man sing 'Nothing to My Name', I always have a feeling of being slapped in the face?"

"Old Wang is still the one who knows how to play, this female singer singing 'Husband and Wife Return Home Together' looks so moist."

"Wanda has already made a move, I am particularly looking forward to Jack Ma taking the move..."

On the morning of the 16th, the relevant information and live videos of the Wanda annual meeting strongly swiped the Weibo hot search section, almost dominating the entertainment headlines across the internet.

Old Wang's singing skills are really good, and his state is high-spirited, he opened the microphone bully mode as soon as he went on stage, 'Friends', 'Waiting', 'Nothing to My Name'... soaring high notes...

Every song seemed to be integrated with emotion, gaining one-sided praise and good reviews on the internet.

No need to guess, throughout this whole year, Wanda must have made a lot of money again!

In stark contrast, it is undoubtedly Huayi, anyway, the financial report shows huge losses; as for how much money entered the pockets of the two kings, that is not enough for outsiders to know.

But it is still that old saying, the losses of a listed company are the company's business, what does it have to do with the boss? Nothing at all!

"This financial report is too naked, it is completely the set that Hollywood uses to fool Wall Street.

Real estate, finance, internet, games... which one didn't make money for Huayi? They are not even pretending this year, directly making the group report according to the report of the production business?"

Looking at Ning Hao's fussing appearance, Lin Nan was too lazy to complain about him; but he had to admit that Huayi's financial report this year was indeed a bit "stunning" to the industry.

"Daring to be excessive, sooner or later it will be finished."

Taking the conversation, Lin Nan looked at Huang Bo again, confirming and asking: "Are you sure you want to start filming in advance on the 31st? That is the fourth day of the He Sui."

"Lin Dao, does our industry still care about these? It's enough to stay at home for two days on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, no need to be so formalistic."

Huang Bo replied with a smile, his directorial debut will officially start filming on the last day of this month, which is two weeks later.

"Then follow yourself, anyway, Yifei and I are definitely not in the capital at that time." Lin Nan hugged the tricolor cat that jumped onto his lap, and had no objection to Huang Bo's decision.

"As long as you two don't forget to help promote on Weibo on the day of the start, after all, Red Star Dock and Yifei are one of the producers and producers!"

Ning Hao exhorted and stood up, he stretched and began to look at the whole garden and villa, curiously asking: "These two villas, what are your plans?"

"Keep them for now, we two don't have the idea of selling them at the moment." Liu Yifei's crisp voice came from the direction of the gate, beside her was Xing Aina, the two just came back from the one next door.

"Tsk tsk, a big family is different." Huang Bo joked with a giggle.

Ning Hao and the other two came over this morning mainly because they knew Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were going back to their hometown in these few days, and they came to gather before the New Year; as for the early start of 'The Island', it was secondary.

Afternoon.

The mainland-Hong Kong co-produced film 'Manhunt', participated by China Film and directed by John Woo, was high-profilely scheduled for the New Year's Eve file 10 months later.

And the "love-hate entanglement" between Director Woo and China Film was therefore brought out by the industry and the internet again.

Undoubtedly, our former chairman of China Film, known in the circle as "Mountain Sculpture" Han Sanping, became a joke and clown after tea and dinner for the Nth time, being talked about by the industry.

"I'm just puzzled, I was aiming for big productions, big lineups, and big scenes when I invested in 'Red Cliff' and 'The Crossing'.

But what is La Peikang thinking? Actually going to invest in a remake of a forty-year-old movie? And still going to the New Year's Eve file?"

Han Sanping's questioning appearance with a face full of flesh completely revealed his momentum of not being angry and self-prestige. He was originally making the production plan for 'Dying to Survive', but the news outside was really harsh.

"There is no other reason, John Woo is naturally restraining your China Film, especially good at bewitching people sitting in the chairman's seat of China Film, haha..."

"Otherwise, why would La Peikang have the confidence to put a movie with a doomed low box office ceiling into the New Year's Eve file? Isn't this obviously the same as you back then, inexplicably confident and bursting!"

Ren Zhonglun laughed, he felt that he could already see La Peikang's achievements in the next few years at a glance: until the time this Chairman La retires, China Film will have no achievements at all.

Still want to let 'Manhunt' go to the New Year's Eve file to be a big-tailed wolf? Don't let it become a meal for other blockbusters, or cannon fodder!

"Dad, your phone."

Just at this time, Han Jiav, who was preparing to go out, reminded Han Sanping. The latter noticed that his mobile phone, which was left aside and turned on silent, was lighting up, and the caller ID was from the bureau...

"Jiav, are you quite busy today? Rushing, just came back and have to go again."

"Drive slowly, come back early in the evening." After Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping specifically exhorted, then connected the phone.

Little Han classmate had already slipped away with a giggle, compared to the roar of the sports car outside which was clearly audible and revealed a sense of joy, Han Sanping's face was a bit serious, and Ren Zhonglun also noticed the abnormality.

A few minutes later, when Han Sanping hung up the phone, Ren Zhonglun couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong with the bureau again?"

They saw Han Sanping smacking his lips and saying with emotion: "The news from Director Tong, it's decided above."

"What?"

"After the Spring Festival, Director Zhang will be promoted to deputy director, concurrently serving as the Film Bureau. We have to be more 'respectful' to him in the future."

Hearing this, Ren Zhonglun was directly stunned: "Good heavens, is this the path of Director Tong back then?"

"No, by comparison, Director Zhang is younger than Director Tong back then!"

Han Sanping replied with implication, and then muttered: "And Director Tong, will retire in the first half of next year."

A new day, the news of Huang Xiaoming having a son in Hong Kong trampled all entertainment information, including last night's Weibo Night, under his feet with a crushing momentum.

Just like the previous century wedding, this incident became the only explosive topic across the internet.

Major media, internet platforms, and countless entertainment reporters were reporting in a swarm; the entire film and entertainment industry was also rushing to post on Weibo to congratulate... Of course, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also among them.

It can be seen that Huang Xiaoming is very excited, he has already turned on the Weibo screen-swiping mode, showing off his son in various ways. And under every Weibo, it is crowded with people in the circle and fans!

"From today on, all the resources he possesses in the circle will be completely and bottomlessly opened to Angelababy. His connections are also her connections, and his influence will also completely become her influence!"

Lin Nan affirmed with certainty, Liu Yifei subconsciously wanted to refute, but it seemed she couldn't refute.

Because chauvinistic people are often like this, sometimes although they will be very domineering, when they really pay, they are usually unreserved and very responsible. And now, Angelababy gave birth to a son for Huang Xiaoming, this is considered to have completely grasped the other party!

"In other words, this one from Huang Xiaoming's family can completely coerce the father with the son in the future. According to her personality, she will only be more arrogant in the circle in the future, until one day she is red and purple, and her head is not clear..."

"Is it as serious as you said?"

Liu Yifei pouted and teased, but in fact, she agreed with Lin Nan's words. Because of the 'General and I' incident, isn't that an example?

There are less than four days left until the departure to return to the hometown, so Lin Nan and Liu Yifei continued to stay at home like this, hmm, the two occasionally go out to stroll, and buy some things for Old Lin.

In the past two days, another variety show has become popular, which is Mango TV's 'Back to Field'.

The triple identity of chef + senior in the circle + teacher of the Beijing Film Academy performance department makes someone's persona very stable!

To be honest, sometimes when a person wears a mask for a long time, he will really subtly think that he really possesses the "appearance" on that mask!

From 'Dad, Where Are We Going?' to 'Go Fighting!', and then to this 'Back to Field'... his mask can be said to be layer upon layer. But then again, the audience is quite buying this set.

If he didn't know the nature of this guy, Lin Nan might really be able to watch this variety show.

But he understands the other party's nature, so he couldn't look at this variety show at all, because it was too awkward, hypocritical... can only wish this person can keep acting.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

On the morning of the 20th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had packed all the luggage they were going to bring, mainly Miss Liu's things, but in fact, there were not many, after all, she is someone who likes to be plain-faced at home.

And by this time, the film market was already surging. Because the New Year's Eve file is about to end, and the Spring Festival file is about to start.

Counting today, 'Operation Meigonghe' is exactly one week away from the end of the screening, and its total box office has also reached 3.379 billion!

For the entire film industry, within a week, everyone will witness a new Chinese film box office record. Because a daily box office of more than three million, wanting to make up 11 million, doesn't need 7 days at all!

"Who could have imagined that the biggest dark horse in this New Year's Eve file would be a small-to-medium-cost comedy movie 'Some Like It Hot'? You know this is a total box office of 557 million, if it weren't for 'Operation Meigonghe', it would be even higher!"

Regarding this statement of Wang Changtian, Lin Nan didn't comment, but took the initiative to mention several lead actors, "The script is indeed good, but the acting skills of Xiao Yang and Xiao Shenyang are even better, even adding a lot of color to the movie."

"I remember you seemed to have said that Xiao Yang is quite comprehensive?"

"Hmm, I said it when casting 'Detective Chinatown'." Lin Nan replied with a smile.

After a while of pleasantries, Wang Changtian seemed to remember some big event, and his voice suddenly raised a lot:

"Hey, speaking of 'Detective Chinatown', I have to ask. Didn't we agree to make a series, what about the second one?"

Wang Changtian really asked it, Lin Nan was speechless for a while, because the screenwriting department was indeed already making the script according to the outline.

"Chairman Wang, you are really amazing! Since you asked about this matter, then I will reveal it to you. The script for 'Detective Chinatown 2' can be completed in the first half of the year, and then it will immediately be initiated, cast, and filmed!" Lin Nan simply spoke bluntly to Wang Changtian, not hiding it.

"After 'Dying to Survive' there is 'The Wandering Earth'... it can't be directed by you, right?" Wang Changtian's reaction was quite fast, first thinking of the most critical question.

Lin Nan shook his head with a smile and responded: "Hmm, it is indeed not me."

"But Guo Fan and Lu Yang... 'Operation Red Sea' hasn't started filming yet!"

"When 'Operation Red Sea' is filmed to the point of finishing, it won't need two directors. One person can come back to prepare for 'Detective Chinatown 2', resting while preparing."

Lin Nan told Wang Changtian the company's plan exactly as it was, this matter had already been told to Guo Fan and Lu Yang, and the Hai Zheng side also had no opinion;

Because although it is difficult to judge the specific finishing time of 'Operation Red Sea', starting filming in early February, by the middle of the year, it will definitely be able to finish most of the scenes; by then, missing a director will not affect anything.

Wang Changtian was silent, a few seconds later, he suddenly said with a smile: "Take Enlight Media with you!"

"Hahaha..."

The premiere of the movie 'Kung Fu Yoga' officially started at 7:30 in the morning; the report of the red carpet ceremony was even broadcast live on the internet.

And on the red carpet, Big Brother's arms can only be held by ladies, and his hands are always holding the opposite sex, especially beauties; for example, this time Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur, they are two high-caste people from next door!

Two commercial vehicles sped on the way to the airport, Liu Yifei was leaning in Lin Nan's arms taking a nap, while the great Lin Dao was wearing headphones, watching the live report of the 'Kung Fu Yoga' premiere red carpet.

In such cold weather, the female stars are still so "free and easy", one by one in dresses and gowns, colorful. Lin Nan saw it in his eyes, and he felt cold himself.

And some photos sent out by reporters were high-definition to the extreme, and even gave close-ups—the goosebumps on Fan Bingbing's exposed skin were clearly visible.

Suddenly, a call came in.

"Lu Zheng?" Lin Nan wondered in his heart.

He connected the phone and asked in a low voice: "General Manager Lu, is there anything?"

"Lin Dao, I'm sorry to disturb you. It's like this, Starlight Shining has been deregistered, and I am also preparing to leave the film and television circle. Before leaving, I want to invite Lin Dao to a casual meal, after all, we have known each other for so many years, and you have helped Tiantian so much..."

Lin Nan subconsciously looked at Liu Yifei in his arms, she was still sleeping.

"Sorry, General Manager Lu. If you want to eat, I'm afraid it will have to wait until after the New Year. I am on the way to the airport, it is a morning flight, preparing to return to my hometown with Yifei."

"Ah? That's really a coincidence, since that's the case, let's do it after the New Year. At that time, I will host... and also pay an early New Year greeting to Lin Dao and Producer Liu..."

Lin Nan nodded and agreed, he didn't notice Liu Yifei's eyelashes trembling slightly.
