Chapter 896

"Not to mention, La Peikang also wants face. Especially since Xi'an Film is among the producers of *Pacific Rim 2*, if he still makes trouble with a small mind, then Wang Yong will really go to China Film Group to block the door and curse, and then flip the table."

Ren Zhonglun teased with a mocking tone. The news that *Pacific Rim 2* plans to be scheduled in advance had already spread in a small range in the industry, and he had just heard it this morning.

"I have an impression, the first one seems to have been established at the end of 10, and officially released in the country on New Year's Day 12. It's been 7 years from the first one to now, and China Film Group has also changed from Han Sanping to La Peikang..."

"7 years, China Film Group is indeed different. This isn't it, they are not in the second one." Picking up Tong Gang's words, Ren Zhonglun smiled sarcastically.

He was on a business trip to the capital, and also had to attend the large symposium of *Wolf Warrior 2* the day after tomorrow; as for coming to Tong Gang, it was just a visit, after all, this old leader only had half a year left in his term.

"If only I could have protected him back then." Tong Gang shook his head helplessly. Ren Zhonglun knew that the person Tong Gang was talking about was Han Sanping.

A knock on the door sounded, and the two in the office looked over subconsciously, "Come in."

"Director Tong, Director Zhang is asking if you have time right now, he has something he wants to report to you, it seems quite important." The secretary pushed the door and entered, saying directly, without looking at Ren Zhonglun the whole time.

"Then let's do it now. You sit, no need to avoid." Tong Gang first instructed the secretary, and the second sentence was said to Ren Zhonglun.

He only had a few months left in this position, and there would definitely be no confidential work or big things in the bureau for him to handle, so Ren Zhonglun, who came to see him, didn't need to avoid.

In just a moment, Zhang Hongsen, with a frosty face, walked in. However, the moment he saw Ren Zhonglun, a smile appeared on his face, very naturally.

"Director Zhang."

"Have a meal together at noon?"

"That's absolutely no problem." Ren Zhonglun agreed with a smile.

"Speak, what matter needs me to help you finish?" After Zhang Hongsen sat down, Tong Gang asked softly.

He knew very well that according to the rules, he should have been waiting to step down easily in the last few months, and Zhang Hongsen and others would definitely not come to trouble him.

But at this moment, the latter could come in with this face, obviously he was annoyed by something, but it was inconvenient for him to handle it directly...

Since he could come to find him, this old leader and old brother of the same level now, it must be that he hoped he would make a move one last time in these last few months, anyway he was going to step down, no need to care too much about anything.

Hearing Tong Gang ask directly, Zhang Hongsen was instantly clear—no need to care about Ren Zhonglun.

"Director Tong, Huayi's *Youth* has passed review. I have had this film rejected three times, there are some contents and implicit thoughts inside that are extremely bad, already exceeding the scope of film art, and they refuse to change despite repeated education, this time it is still the same!"

"Then why did it pass review the fourth time? Did the people you chose also have problems?" At this moment, Tong Gang also became abnormally serious.

On the side, Ren Zhonglun seemed to have heard nothing, drinking tea calmly; but his heart was very active, wishing he could urge Zhang Hongsen to speak faster.

"No, it's the Hu Hu Bayi Film Studio that took the lead to come over, they are one of the producers. In addition, there are China Film Group and Emei Film Studio... According to the 'practice' before, face should be given...

But this time, I don't want to give this face. If face is given to them, then what about the face of the bureau? I followed the red line standard and seriously rejected it!"

Tong Gang understood, and Ren Zhonglun also understood: Zhang Hongsen wanted to reject the face of those three companies, revoke the public screening permit that *Youth* had already obtained, but he didn't want to slap the Hu Hu Bayi side in the face directly himself...

Therefore, this "black face" could only be sung by Tong Gang. Because he is the old superior, old brother, he can exert residual heat before retiring without caring about the face of anyone in other systems.

At the same time, the favor of Zhang Hongsen, who is in the rising period, will also be in his hands.

"Fine, then I will revoke that public screening permit; I will also notify China Film Group to take down the public screening key for this film." Tong Gang nodded and took on this matter, which could be considered helping Zhang Hongsen carry it one last time before retiring.

"That, Director Zhang, I have an idea and suggestion, see if you want to consider it?"

Just at this time, Ren Zhonglun really couldn't hold back anymore, he spoke, and there was a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"Idea?"

"Suggestion? Then I am interested, tell me." Zhang Hongsen and Tong Gang spoke almost at the same time, and the former even asked with interest.

"For a film like this that repeatedly wants to test the red line and refuses to change despite knowing it's wrong, I suggest Director Zhang can forcibly take it down a few days before it is about to be released, this can also be considered a lesson to Huayi and Feng Xiaogang to remember the lesson..."

Ren Zhonglun said with a smile, his words were a bit "ruthless," no one likes that group of people in Huayi, and he is no exception. Over the years, there have been many films from Shanghai Film Studio that have been smeared by that side, all using improper competitive means.

Tong and Zhang looked at Ren Zhonglun, and for a while, their eyes were a bit wrong;

Ren Zhonglun noticed the strange gazes of the two people in front of him, and then asked with a smile: "This suggestion is inappropriate? If it's inappropriate, then forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

"It's not inappropriate, I think this idea is very good. It's just..." Zhang Hongsen's expression began to become playful, and he didn't speak anymore.

Tong Gang couldn't help but laugh, laughed angrily, he took over Zhang Hongsen's words and teased Ren Zhonglun with hidden meaning:

"When *Railroad Tigers* was established, filmed, reviewed, and released, why didn't I see you have such high awareness? When giving eye drops to peers, your awareness is quite high. Are you being strict with others and lenient with yourself?"

"Hahaha, it's been so long, you two still remember? I forgot."

……

Shunyi, manor villa.

Because they could completely finish moving this afternoon, Lin Nan and the others also came over to join the fun with the moving company in the morning. Hmm, more than thirty cats and dogs also moved over together.

"Did it really cost nearly 1 billion?"

Although he had seen the relevant entertainment news at a glance online before, after hearing this affirmative answer from Liu Yifei at this moment, Watching Watching Lao Lin still couldn't help but exclaim.

"You even know the word 'small goal'?" Lin Nan asked back with a smile, looking at Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli on the side, both of them were also full of surprised smiles.

"The remarks of rich people are always discussed the most by ordinary people, not to mention the words of the richest man! People come and go in the restaurant, I've heard it countless times, and I've also seen it in the news." Watching Watching Lao Lin looked at his son with disgust and explained.

"Fine, it's my fault, I underestimated you." Facing his father's gaze, Lin Nan hurriedly "pleaded guilty."

"Ah!" Suddenly, Liu Yifei screamed, giving the three of them a big fright.

Following the sound, Miss Liu had already trotted toward the lake, and looking carefully, good guy, the cat team was all spinning around there, hmm, chasing and snatching.

"Newcomers" they were not at all unfamiliar, because there was the "smell" of the furniture from home here.

This isn't it, after running wildly for a while, they discovered the treasure by the artificial lake, and then... undoubtedly it was the successful hunt at this moment!

Lin Nan was about to laugh to death, "Xixi, I said so, they would definitely go to the lake to wander, and the fat koi in other fish ponds, sooner or later they will be ruined by them... Hahaha."

"No need to worry, teach them later, they will remember." Liu Xiaoli was also unable to hold back her laughter, taking the lead in chasing Liu Yifei.

"The fish in the lake are not easy to catch, they are just lucky, running into the ones swimming to the shore." Watching Watching Lao Lin and Lin Nan walked at the end, analyzing with a smile.

"When Xixi was picking fish a few months ago, I joked with her, saying that it might be cat food prepared for this group of cats, and it is sufficient cat food..."

…………

42.25 million daily box office told the film circle a fact on the morning of the 23rd, that is, the harvest of *Wolf Warrior 2* on the box office market is indeed coming to an end.

And the entire film industry also seemed to see the dawn because of this, about to finish crossing the tribulation; therefore, the industry once again showed a "vibrant" atmosphere.

You have to know that in the nearly one month since *Wolf Warrior 2* was released, the films of other companies in the industry were sucked dry by it and killed, right?

"Even that ordinary *SPL: Paradox* got 400 million box office in just 6 days, Wu Jing's popularity is really valuable."

China Film Group, La Peikang looked at the market data handed over by the distribution company, and for a while couldn't help but mutter.

"Chairman La, he is indeed the most popular male actor in the country now. If we have any modern mainstream blockbusters later, I think he can completely be the first choice.

This is beneficial and harmless to word-of-mouth and the market." The secretary boldly took over the conversation and suggested. Because he could see that his leader also had this idea.

"Hmm, can consider. When holding the symposium tomorrow, I will chat with him." Hearing this, La Peikang nodded straight away.

After speaking, La Peikang remembered the wind outside, especially the wind deliberately released by Xi'an Film, "*Pacific Rim 2* is about to be scheduled, keep an eye on it."

"Chairman La?"

"No other meaning, I will attend the premiere. Wang Yong, Ren Zhonglun, and the others, I'm afraid none of them treat me as a good person, expecting me to make trouble with a small mind..."

La Peikang cursed with a cold tone, while the secretary completely entered a state of "deaf and blind," hearing nothing and seeing nothing.

……

In the afternoon, there was gossip online.

One month after Little Zhang Ziyi participated in the casting work of *The Rise of Phoenixes*, she finally personally decided on the male lead actor to act with her—Zhou Yiwei!

"I heard that Little Zhang Ziyi is quite satisfied with Old Zhou, especially that temperament on him... it seems Little Zhang Ziyi said it herself..."

Sitting at the workstation of Tiangong Color, Lin Nan answered Lu Yang's call, listening to him teasing Zhou Yiwei.

"You might as well report your serious business, your tone makes it seem like she likes other people's husbands. Is the script of *Detective Chinatown 2* filming smoothly? If there are problems, call Tom, especially regarding diplomatic issues, he will handle it..." Lin Nan retorted unhappily, this guy Lu Yang is too gossipy.

"Isn't it..."
