Chapter 847: The Uproar in the Circle; Starting Filming

Zhuo Wei made another big move, involving several first-tier stars and several factions in the circle, so much so that a bloody storm permeated the entire film and television circle.

Several stolen videos of playing by the pool that were a bit eye-stinging let the whole internet know what "one-finger Zen" was, and what it meant to flirt by grabbing buttocks with hands inserted into suspenders.

What a "see you on Wednesday"! Female star, male singer, duck male model...

As a top-tier first-tier male singer in the Beijing circle, a member of a top Chinese music group, and an old partner of the Huayi camp...

The man's affair didn't just drag the latter's faction and his own partner into the storm of public opinion?

In addition, *Monster Hunt 2* had just wrapped up not long ago, and they were still busy with post-production and special effects, without a release date, but the female lead had this kind of thing happen.

As the controlling producer, Edko Films had to be forced to clean up the mess of public opinion, right? Otherwise, did they still want the box office of this movie?

Then there was the somewhat unlucky Daylight Entertainment. The TV series *Surgeons*, which they controlled and post-produced, was about to land on Beijing Satellite TV and Blueberry TV simultaneously in 5 days.

Now it was good, disaster came from the sky while sitting at home, and the pressure of ratings and public opinion increased sharply... because the female lead had an accident!

But the reason why it was said that a bloody storm was set off in the circle was because Zhuo Wei also dragged Wang Luodan into it.

A sentence "I heard Wang Luodan's laughter from the West Third Ring Road" could be said to have pushed the public opinion atmosphere of the entire internet to the climax.

After all, everyone knew that in these years, relying on Huayi, someone had obtained a lot of resources, firmly suppressing the other party who looked similar. And in the last two or three years, it was even completely suppressed to death!

Like many people on the internet, Lin Nan was also watching the excitement at home. Well, he was eating melon while packing his luggage for joining the crew.

"The woman issued an announcement, showing the divorce certificate. The couple divorced a long time ago, but it has never been disclosed to the outside world."

"Since they divorced long ago, why do they still show affection from time to time? Really disgusting..."

"The agent over there made a statement, acknowledging the woman's statement. The man was forced to admit the fact of the divorce, obviously unwilling to wear this hat."

"F*ck! The man had a mental breakdown, scolded netizens online, and even made personal threats..."

"Anyway, how to say it, after this incident, the woman has completely broken with the Beijing circle, at least broken with Huayi. She won't be able to get any good resources in the future!"

Han Jia came running over in a hurry. She was here to visit, and also to rest and relax while writing the script.

"Damn, I heard a rumor that that person touched something he shouldn't have, which is why the woman divorced him..."

Regarding the gossip brought by little Han, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not show any surprised reaction.

Because this kind of thing had long been seen as strange in the circle, it just depended on which day it could be caught by the "Chaoyang Masses".

"To be honest, Zhuo Wei is the most professional paparazzi I have ever seen. He never catches wind and shadows, only speaks with facts. Sometimes thinking about it, maybe the circle really needs a few people like this.

However, regarding this incident, he probably won't have it easy... after all, he offended too many people and too many factions!" Lin Nan said jokingly quite seriously.

"What do you mean?" Han Jia and Liu Yifei were both a bit confused and didn't understand the implication of Lin Nan's last sentence.

"Didn't you see the political news a few days ago? Well, you two are women and don't care about these." Lin Nan laughed belatedly, blaming himself.

He continued to explain: "Many representatives in the industry have put forward the same opinions at the conference, requesting the regulation of paparazzi on the internet;

For entertainment reporters, paparazzi, self-media accounts, etc., that seriously affect social atmosphere and disrupt industry order, they should be punished strictly and heavily, and even personal and media accounts should be permanently banned..."

"Senior Brother Lin, do you mean that this paparazzi might be the first bird to be shot?" Han Jia reacted immediately.

"Uh-huh, isn't he sitting firmly in the top chair of the entertainment reporter and paparazzi circle? Those capital factions in the circle naturally want to take him as the first to be operated on."

Lin Nan nodded very affirmatively, and his tone was a bit complex.

Because once this kind of thing is implemented, it is generally a one-size-fits-all approach. The above will not care whether the content you report is true or whether you have spread rumors.

In short, starting from the head of the paparazzi industry downwards, whether it is true or false, they will all be served with big sticks!

For two consecutive days, the state in the circle and online was still "stormy waves".

How many resources can be vacated after a first-tier female star falls is something that all film and television and brokerage companies in the industry and all female artists are very clear about.

Therefore, 99% of the capital in the industry, including female actors who have a competitive relationship, are almost all quietly fueling the flames and falling into the well.

This is the so-called wall falling and everyone pushing, regardless of whether you are wrong or not, take advantage of public opinion to kick you off the first-tier position first!

On the morning of the 14th, when Lin Nan was sent to the high-speed rail station with his assistant, Weibo still hadn't calmed down.

After all, lace news can always mobilize people's interest to the greatest extent, not to mention the relatively high-definition videos.

"Go, take care of yourself when you are in the crew. I will go see you when I am free, after all, I am also a producer. But it's definitely not possible during this period, I still have to strengthen training, because Tom said that side will come over in the second half of the month, and we have to start..."

For no reason, Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's face like coaxing a child; so much so that Lin Dao was a bit embarrassed, there were so many people on the side.

Although the assistant and others had already turned their backs, their trembling shoulders were obviously trying to hold back laughter. There were many people coming and going in the distance, and there were quite a few who stopped to take pictures blatantly.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get on the car and go back, we have to enter the station too. Be careful that you get blocked by paparazzi later."

"Blind worry, I'll leave after watching you go in, hehe." Miss Liu hugged her chest with both hands and raised her chin slightly. Her white-to-red skin seemed to be glowing crystal clear.

Before one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and his party arrived at the Qingdao high-speed railway station, and Yue Jun brought people to pick them up here.

After sitting in the back seat, Yue Jun immediately talked about the situation of the crew:

"Wu Jing, Zhang Ruoyun, Wu Mengda, Zhao Jinmai, Li Guangjie, they all checked into the hotel yesterday;

The rest of the supporting roles are all according to the schedule, and will arrive two days before their scenes start filming. As for Ma Te Damon and Leonardo?"

"One week before the scenes start filming, I will call to notify them.

Also, remember to emphasize to the people below again, even if the media blocks the door, they must insist that it is a cameo, especially the role of Ma Te Damon." Lin Nan exhorted again.

"I understand, I will reiterate it to everyone tomorrow." Yue Jun nodded immediately. This relates to the status of the two Hollywood superstars, naturally, it can only be a cameo!

In the afternoon, Lin Nan met all the core leads of the crew at the hotel.

Zhang Ruoyun should be considered the most "excited" one. After meeting, a series of thanks made Lin Nan feel a bit "long-winded".

But it's understandable, after all, from the time it was decided that Zhang Ruoyun would play the role of Liu Qi until now, today was the first time Lin Nan and he met.

"Since more than 90% of the scenes in this movie have to be shot in a green screen studio, many shots require performance without physical objects; I also hope that after starting filming tomorrow, everyone can be serious, let's strictly demand ourselves."

"Lin Dao, don't worry, I guarantee to complete the task!" Wu Jing was the first to speak. This was his second time participating in Lin Nan's movie, and he could be considered the most experienced one among the leads.

"Lin Dao, me too." Zhao Jinmai shouted with a smile, indeed a bit more lively than Zhang Zifeng.

"Although it's the first time cooperating, for me, it's been a long-time spiritual friendship. Lin Dao, thank you for the invitation..." A rough voice with a slight accent greeted with a smile.

Lin Nan met that hand, also with a smile on his face: "Brother Da is too polite, I have admired you for a long time. Well, I have been watching your film and television works since I was a child, haha..."

On the morning of the 15th, a large amount of film and entertainment news landed on Weibo trending searches, intentionally or unintentionally covering and drowning out the "one-finger Zen" incident...

People with discerning eyes in the industry could see that this was already starting to be handled by public relations and cooling down. However, the newly appeared information was indeed somewhat eye-catching and heavy!

"Controlled by Universal Pictures, the Hollywood imported blockbuster *The Fate of the Furious* cut down 417 million at the box office on its first day of domestic release; the film strongly broke and refreshed the first-day box office record and single-day box office record of the domestic film market."

"Jointly produced by Lin Nan Pictures, Red Star Pictures, Aerospace Science and Technology Group, Xi'an Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, Enlight Media, and Wanda Pictures, directed by Lin Dao Nan, produced by Liu Yifei;

The sci-fi, adventure, and disaster blockbuster *The Wandering Earth* has been low-key started filming at Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis this morning. It is reported that Zhang Ruoyun, as the last confirmed lead, was officially exposed today."

"The 70th Cannes International Film Festival announced the shortlist, and Chinese films continue to be absent from the main competition unit; Chinese films *Different Fireworks* and *Looking for Rohmer* were shortlisted for the Special Screening unit and Un Certain Regard unit respectively... Director Chen Kaige has confirmed that he will take *Legend of the Demon Cat* to Cannes for promotion..."

"Obituary: Director Yang Jie passed away due to illness this morning... Stars in the film and television circle posted to mourn... Her important directorial works during her lifetime were the TV series *Journey to the West* and *Journey to the West Sequel*..."

Under the command of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group's work team, inside the 10,000-square-meter green screen studio, the magnificent "Underground City", judging from the sporadic appearance, seemed to be the tip of the iceberg of a real underground giant city.

And the shooting of hard-core sci-fi films is the most expensive for employees of Tiangong Color. This is not it, the number of special effects team members is already on par with the shooting team, and even exceeded by more than twenty people, reaching nearly a hundred.

The jib rotated slowly, and the camera on it adjusted the angle... Lin Nan stood behind the monitor, shouting loudly with a megaphone:

"The footsteps of the extras don't need to be so neat. When walking in a long line, it's about the same as the scene in the train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.

But don't be crowded and noisy when entering the 'Underground City', try to keep the mood low, it's best to be dead silent, because it's already the 'end of the world', everyone is fleeing with the Earth..."

After one shot ended, the crew entered a ten-minute break to prepare for the scenes in the "Underground City" next.

However, lighting engineers and other staff could not rest, because according to the requirements, they still had to calibrate the "natural light" in the "Underground City".

Because in the finished film of this movie, in 99% of the shots, there will be no real natural light and color;

After all, they have been wandering in space, and the sun is about to go out, so there will be no natural light and shadow in the memory in the underground city and on the surface.

"When is it set?" Sitting in the director's chair, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun.

"It's set for the 28th, buried in Mount Babao."

"Then when the time comes, you also arrange for someone to send a wreath."

"Hmm, after I go back this afternoon, I will order it in advance." Speaking of this, Yue Jun couldn't help but gossip again:

"Lin Dao, come to think of it, it's very lively outside right now. Many media are reporting that until Director Yang passed away, those leads never visited, while others in the crew were endless..."

"At the memorial service, it will definitely appear."

Lin Nan said speechlessly, media reporters are also bored, picking things up every day.

However, this kind of thing really can't be investigated deeply, because since they can pick things up, naturally there is a reason to pick things up.

After all, the fact that the lead team and the director fell out because of going abroad for commercial performances or because of fame and fortune, or even turned into enemies, is well known.

Ten minutes passed quickly, Zhang Ruoyun's Liu Qi and Zhao Jinmai's Han Duoduo were already in makeup, and all the extras were ready.

"All units, everyone get ready..."

Lin Nan stood behind the monitor, staring at the screen without blinking. And the direction the camera lens was aimed at was Liu Qi's room, he had to pack his luggage and sneak out.

At home.

Liu Yifei was entertaining Jiang Xuerou, who was here to connect work, because tomorrow morning was the opening red carpet of the Beijing International Film Festival.

"It has been communicated with that side, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, and Han Jia will follow our team. As for the company side, there is only Reba."

"Besides the red carpet, there are these invitations for activities and forums, including the premieres of several movies. Do you want to attend?"

"Forget about activities and forums, they don't suit me. I can pick a few premieres, let Changchang and Jia accompany me."

Liu Yifei looked through the invitations in front of her and answered with a nod. Just at this time, Liu Xiaoli came back from outside.

"Mom, what is this you're holding?"

"Teacher Liu." Jiang Xuerou greeted with a smile.

After responding to Jiang Xuerou, Liu Xiaoli handed the thing in her hand to her daughter, "Sent by Red Star Pictures, saying it's an invitation from Disney."
