Chapter 897

……

The first night sleeping in the new home, Lin Nan was still a little uncomfortable, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and the person on the pillow was the same...

So when he got up in the morning, the feeling of soreness in his waist and back was more obvious than usual; however, Liu Yifei was the exact opposite, even more energetic!

"Good guy, is his *Youth* not preparing for box office again? Why does he always like to go against the audience?"

Just sitting at the dining table and opening the phone, Lin Nan saw the pop-up news, netizens online were "crusading" against Feng Xiaogang for the Nth time, which can be called lively.

As for the reason, it was in last night's *Star Show*, Feng Xiaogang scolded the audience again; and this time not only scolding, but also with some sarcasm, because he specifically emphasized:

"I pointed out the problem that there are too many garbage audiences now, which is telling the truth, the big truth, but 'everyone' doesn't accept it. But without the support of these garbage audiences, how could garbage films be rampant? Calling my film garbage, it's possible that they have watched too many bad films and developed that kind of low-end cognition..."

Publicly expressing these remarks at this critical time, is he really not preparing for the box office of *Youth*, or is he being sarcastic about other films? Or both?

"Isn't he always unbridled? And there is already public opinion leading the rhythm, saying he is implying *Wolf Warrior 2*..." Liu Yifei bit a fried egg, completely looking like watching the fun.

"Either he's been floating lately, or he's been anxious lately. Only in these two states will he not have a gate on his mouth. But looking at this situation, it should be floating. Golden Rooster matter?!"

Lin Nan analyzed to himself, and even Liu Xiaoli nodded uncontrollably.

Not long after, Lin Nan finished breakfast and prepared to go out to attend the symposium of *Wolf Warrior 2*, location—CPPCC Auditorium.

And Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli had to contact the restaurant to prepare for tomorrow's housewarming banquet and birthday banquet;

Besides that, Liu Xiaoli also had to connect with many service companies, after all, such a large manor villa will involve many problems in future life, such as garden pruning, greening maintenance, hygiene cleaning... and have to add another live-in aunt...

As for Director Lin's father, after breakfast, he happily went fishing, using the high-end equipment Ning Hao gave Lin Nan, the kind that hadn't been unpacked before.

……

Outside the CPPCC Auditorium, in the vast crowd, Wang Changtian quickly caught up with Wu Jing, teasing and asking with a smile: "The acting offers and announcements received recently should be many, right?"

"Chairman Wang, where is it many, it's very, very many. Yesterday I even took time to shoot a Bazaar magazine, my solo one. Thinking about the past, how could I receive this kind of invitation? I didn't even dare to think about it."

Wu Jing was also straightforward, bluntly mocking himself. The gold content of that old saying in the circle is still rising: when you are popular, there are good people and smiling faces around you, full of flattery and kindness.

"That's great, you deserve it!"

The team filed in, all of whom were practitioners with faces in the industry.

When Lin Nan arrived, he happened to run into Ren Zhonglun, so the two also chatted while entering the venue.

"The Venice International Film Festival in a few days, I definitely won't go. The next time we meet, it will likely be at the premiere of *Sky Hunter* at the end of next month. I will wish you and Yifei in advance here to get what you want in Venice and win big awards, especially her."

"Chairman Ren, your blessings are accepted by Yifei and me. As for the meeting at the end of next month, I'm sorry, I should be absent from the premiere of that film. I look down on that director, Yue Jun will represent the company to support the Air Force Political Department."

"Hmm? That's a pity. But then again, we and them are indeed the most direct competitors and objects of comparison—*Operation Red Sea* VS *Sky Hunter*!"

When entering the venue, Lin Nan and Ren Zhonglun saw Wu Jing being pulled by Chairman La to chat and laugh from afar.

The former was slightly bent, smiling constantly, nodding all the time, while the latter was instructing something, his expression happy and satisfied.

"Fine, La Peikang is also eyeing Wu Jing! I was still muttering a few days ago, when there is a suitable project later, I must invite Wu Jing to play the male lead..."

Ren Zhonglun smacked his lips, glanced at La Peikang with disgust, and only then pulled Lin Nan, "Let's go, our seats are together, I saw today's seating arrangement in the bureau yesterday."

"Good."

Leaders from the Film Bureau, Publicity Department, and government came in from the side door and took their seats on the podium.

Those experts, scholars from various units and universities, and representatives of major associations also took their seats, with professional aura pulled full.

On this occasion, *Wolf Warrior 2* is nominally the protagonist, but in fact, it is only the nominal protagonist, including Wu Jing.

Leaders spoke, experts spoke, scholars were discussing, professors from the School of Marxism were doing deep analysis...

Can you understand?

Lin Nan couldn't understand, but it didn't affect him at all to be in a familiar state, he had experienced this kind of thing many times, just nod seriously.

In addition, he also nodded on behalf of Liu Yifei, the largest investor, affirming the definition of *Wolf Warrior 2* by experts and scholars, as the most successful patriotic subject film since the millennium...

Next door, Wang Changtian was even more of an old oiler, listening with relish, shaking his head.

It's just a pity for Wu Jing, with his second-line status in the past, where had he participated in such an "advanced" activity?

He cast a confused look at Lin Nan—"I really didn't think about these when writing the script! I didn't think about it when filming! Ah? Did I consider it? I might... probably... maybe forgot? Hmm, remembered..."

Wu Jing's reaction was also quite fast, although he couldn't understand those professional philosophy and sociology terms, his smiling and nodding look was like a senior researcher in a related major, after all, he is an actor himself!

That's right, at this kind of activity, you are never you, how the podium says it is, that's how you did it before! Whoever the podium says you are, that's who you are!

In short, just one attitude: ah yes yes yes...

A symposium, opened for a whole morning. More than a dozen official media around the venue were recording the whole process, even broadcasting live. This posture is beyond doubt, it will definitely be on CCTV.

From today on, Wu Jing will also be officially characterized here by the authorities, and then it will be setting an example and focusing on support!

Ren Zhonglun really wasn't joking, he really wanted to find Wu Jing to film.

Taking advantage of the intermission, without a ready-made script and project, he actually issued an oral invitation to Wu Jing directly, calling it a reservation;

And the latter also agreed fully, with only one requirement: the actors acting with him cannot be traffic stars!

Regarding this, Ren Zhonglun also gave a guarantee with absolute certainty: he will definitely find big names.

……

"At noon, Director Feng Xiaogang led the *Youth* crew to set off, rushing to the Venice International Film Festival in advance to prepare for the film's exhibition and promotion..."

"Many first-line actors and stars in the country have arrived in Venice low-key... Fan Bingbing appeared at the high-jewelry dinner..."

"Jackie Chan appeared low-key in the capital, Dragon Prince suspected to be following on the side..."

……

"Chairman Ren, you're not joking with me, right?"

"Joking with you? Is this kind of thing worth joking about? After a while, you will naturally be able to hear the wind, especially the wind when it starts filming."

"Shanghai Film Studio didn't get involved this time, right?"

"I don't dare to get involved anymore. And Jackie Chan also has a sense of proportion, he didn't come to find me again."

……

After Lin Nan waved goodbye to Ren Zhonglun, he sat into Wang Changtian's Bentley. As for his own car, it was driven by the driver following behind.

He and Wang Changtian, Wu Jing planned to go for lunch together, chat about *Wolf Warrior 2*, and Enlight and Shanghai Film also have to urge the box office share.

In the car, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh with Wang Changtian about what he had just heard from Ren Zhonglun; sure enough, everyone's reactions were almost the same.

"Big brother still hasn't given up? Still struggling? Can't be an actor, really trying to let him turn into a director? This will cost how much favor resources..." Wu Jing exclaimed in astonishment.

"That is to say, the script is going to be reviewed, and the actors have even been decided, just waiting for the record to start filming after passing review?" Wang Changtian frowned and muttered, still asking Lin Nan uncertainly:

"In the situation of Jackie Chan's son, will the bureau really agree to the filming and release of the film he directs? Are you sure it will pass review?"

"How would I know, but this matter is 80-90% likely to be successful.

Because the red-headed document only clearly stipulates that artists with bad records cannot appear on the screen again, but there is no banning clause for behind-the-scenes professions.

So strictly following the rules, the bureau indeed has no basis to oppose and suppress, and can only let it pass.

But then again, how many artists with bad records have such resources and capital to support his comeback without sparing any effort? Currently, there is only this one in the circle!"

Lin Nan analyzed and evaluated very objectively.

That's right, Dragon Prince is going to be a film director. Big brother really hasn't given up, still trying his best to let his son make a comeback in this industry, even if it's changing a position and profession.

"Then let's wait, see what reaction the outside world will have after this matter is announced."

"According to Chairman Ren, it should be very low-key before filming. As for the official start of filming, it is estimated to be around the end of October or before mid-November. Of course, the premise is that the script passes review smoothly and the behind-the-scenes creative team is recorded smoothly."

……

In an afternoon, a large number of filmmakers, actors, and stars in the country constantly appeared at the Beijing airport, and the destination was Venice Lido Island.

And what can be foreseen is that in the next few days, the team flying over will become larger and larger...

Of course, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei have also made preparations, just waiting to finish the housewarming banquet tomorrow, and set off on the morning of the day after tomorrow.

Lin Nan Pictures.

The call from Daylight Entertainment reached Yue Jun, regarding the start of filming for *The Story of Minglan*.

"We plan to start filming early next month, with a filming duration of about 6 months. Not only that, we have to adjust the filming order slightly, putting Zhu Yawen's scenes as much as possible in September and October..."

"Why is this?"

"Because he also took on a *Ming Dynasty*, which is also a relatively important role, saying it will start filming after November... His acting skills can handle two plays at the same time, and the two crews are also next to each other... TV series filming, after all, is not as compact as films..."
