Chapter 910

~14 min read 2,663 words

After 3:00 PM, when Lin Nan left the 'Crazy Alien' crew, Xing Aina followed.

As she said, she had to go back to work overtime and do the script day and night. For this, Ning Hao was so moved that he almost knelt down to his wife.

It's just that Lin Nan's words "less going to nightclubs in the future will be considered as gratitude to your wife" directly destroyed this picture of "wife kindness and husband filial piety" and "husband and wife affection".

After getting on the high-speed rail, some words that were not convenient to say in front of Ning Hao at the hotel, Lin Nan then opened his mouth directly to Xing Aina:

"Sister Na, I have to say something in advance about some things, although this film was given to your family's Director Ning, I cannot accept Huanxi's investment. The priority investment agreement between him and Huanxi does not apply to this film.

In addition, in order to avoid suspicion, 'The Father' will be participated by Yifei's StarWu, not my company. Just like Cao's 'She Kills'."

"I know. If there are any problems on Huanxi's side, I will solve them. This project was not initiated by Bad Monkey, it was 'begged' by Ning Hao and me from Yifei, Dong Ping and the others are not qualified to intervene."

Xing Aina expressed her position very decisively. She knew very well that Bad Monkey could get half of the share, which was already Lin Nan looking at the face of an old friend for many years.

In addition, even for the benefit of Bad Monkey, she would not allow Huanxi to get involved in 'The Father', even if that side just had an idea.

"Hmm." Lin Nan nodded, wanting to end this topic. However, Xing Aina didn't mean that, but wanted Lin Nan to help to the end:

"When casting later, you can also help refer to it privately? With your participation, we will be more at ease. You know, Ning Hao's experience in award-winning films is worlds apart from yours."

"Okay." For this request, Lin Nan also agreed very decisively. Because he seems to be really able to provide some ideas and suggestions.

After 8:00 PM, Xing Aina and Lin Nan each took people out of the high-speed rail station; and the ones who came to pick up the car were the employees of Bad Monkey Film and Liu Yifei, who was wearing a trench coat and driving that bright yellow Ferrari.

"This car is really beautiful, especially very suitable for Yifei." Xing Aina smiled and praised Miss Liu who had long hair, the latter was plain-faced, bright and eye-catching.

"Actually, Sister Na is also very suitable for this kind of car, let Director Ning give you one later. Oh right, I almost forgot that Sister Na is in charge of the money, hehe." Liu Yifei smiled and teased.

"If he sent it, I would ask him where the money came from! Could it be that it was given privately by Lin Dao and Producer Liu?" Xing Aina joked with a smile, but Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had already been "frightened", both of them were dumbfounded. Obviously, the earlier things were exposed!

"Alright, don't look at me with this expression, I'll go back first." Xing Aina looked at the two with a tease, then sat in the car.

After she closed the car door, she rolled down the car window, looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei who were still dawdling on the Ferrari, and teased: "It was Ning Hao who exposed it, I forced it out of him. Little thing, still playing tricks on me..."

After speaking, the commercial vehicle ran away, leaving Lin Nan and Liu Yifei standing in place, "He is too useless! It's been so long, and he hasn't given us a word. How did Sister Na look at us during this period, clowns?"

"Director Ning might be afraid that you will mock him?" Liu Yifei replied to Lin Nan with interest, then urged: "Get in the car, go home."

"Good, thank you wife for picking me up."

Lin Dao sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and didn't forget to instruct the assistant who was pretending to be deaf on the side of the road: "I won't give you a ride, today is calculated as an international difference; tomorrow you tell the people in the company, just say it's what I said."

"Okay, thank you boss, thank you boss's wife, hahaha."

"Really not going to attend the premiere of that 'Dream of Acting' tomorrow? The school called StarWu to invite again today." Driving the car, Liu Yifei complained to Lin Nan speechlessly.

"Not going, Yue Jun already replied for me at noon. We still have to see Yan Fei tomorrow, about that 'Hello Mr. Billionaire'."

……

The night passed quietly, and from early morning on the 19th, the news of the premiere of 'Pure Heart: Dream of Acting' hung firmly on the front page of film and television entertainment news.

Not to mention what most people in the circle thought, anyway, netizens on the whole internet had never seen this kind of "big battle":

A newcomer who first stepped into the film and television industry, he had neither work achievements nor popularity in the past, but his directorial debut was strongly sought after by the industry. A large number of actors and filmmakers will attend the premiere, and the Film Academy personally supported him, this treatment is already comparable to a first-line film director.

In this regard, many viewers were very curious: has filming the negative events of the entertainment industry become the mainstream? The premiere is so grand? Or does this film really film an "different" entertainment industry?

"Fart 'Pure Heart', do you think how many of them are sincerely going to attend the premiere of this so-called film? Isn't it because they can't avoid human relationships, so they can only bite the bullet and agree. Otherwise, a film newcomer, what does he rely on?" Wang Changtian scolded with contempt.

To be precise, this 'Dream of Acting' is also a competitor in the same period as 'Our Shining Days', but he has never taken it seriously.

Because he knows how rotten this film is, after all, he was curious during the Shanghai International Film Festival, and then... and then he was disgusted.

Lin Nan was really a bit helpless at this moment, breakfast hadn't been finished yet, Wang Changtian called and chattered non-stop.

The key is that he and Liu Yifei really don't want to attend the premiere of 'Our Shining Days', they don't want to attend the premiere of any film, they just want to stay at home.

"I said Chairman Wang, can you stop having ideas about us? Thanks for the invitation, sincerely refuse, if I have that time, I might as well go help Guo Fan with post-production."

"Why are you so stubborn? Let's just say it's settled, don't be late on the 25th, I have already made the guest list public on the internet. It will be held on the same day as 'Chasing the Dragon', I need popularity and momentum here."

Without giving Lin Nan a chance to refuse again, Wang Changtian hung up the phone with a "pop".

"This person, why is he determined to have us?" Looking at Liu Yifei, Lin Nan complained about Wang Changtian.

"Then let's go, after all, it's a film by Enlight Pictures and Wanda." Liu Yifei was quite casual, picked up half a cup of milk with a smile, and drank it in one gulp.

"Alright, then let's go. But it seems that the premiere of 'Sky Hunter' by the Air Force and 'The Foreigner' is also on the same day, on the 26th. Since we have gone to 'Our Shining Days', then go to Big Brother's side to see, I heard that the action scenes of this film have the level of his peak."

"Hmm? Then I'm a bit looking forward to it." Liu Yifei just put down the napkin, Liu Xiaoli reminded at the door: "Someone is ringing the doorbell outside the manor, it seems to be Yan Fei that you two made an appointment with?"

"Mom, let him in. Lin Nan eat quickly, it's already 10 o'clock, if Yan Fei sees it, I guess he will mutter about us..." Liu Yifei urged hurriedly, she also wants face.

……

The premiere of 'Pure Heart: Dream of Acting' has started high-profile. Many people in the film and television industry went, but there were even more people who ignored it, especially those big shots, who were particularly disdainful.

China Film, La Peikang is seeing Teng Huatao.

The 'Shanghai Fortress' crew, all preparations are ready, just waiting for the opening press conference the day after tomorrow.

"Chairman La, I have sent invitations to everyone who can be invited in the industry. But Lin Dao refused, saying that the post-production of 'Operation Red Sea' is a bit tight, he needs to help Director Guo at Tiangong Color, and Jiang Xuerou will attend the press conference as a representative of Lin Nan Film.

In fact, in my opinion, if Lin Dao can come in person, the publicity effect on 'Shanghai Fortress' will definitely reach the maximum. If he can speak a few words publicly, it will be perfect."

Teng Huatao talked eloquently, La Peikang didn't make a sound with a straight face.

Looking at the secretary on the side again, he looked at Teng Huatao like he was looking at a fool, just very implicitly: drank fake wine today? Where did the confidence come from to dream so much? Actually thinking of letting Lin Dao come to lift the sedan chair for you?

"Don't think too much about Lin Nan's side. Even for the premiere of 'Sky Hunter', it was Yue Jun who came to attend." After a while, La Peikang replied, his face still couldn't see any emotion.

To be honest, he also really hoped that Lin Nan could come to "support the scene", because as Teng Huatao said, if Lin Nan could come to "help", the starting point of 'Shanghai Fortress' would undoubtedly be able to go up a few more levels. However, he also knew very well that this idea was very unrealistic, Lin Nan had no reason to come to lift the sedan chair for Teng Huatao for no reason, and would not give China Film this face—sacrificing his reputation to help others.

"That's really a pity. That's why I couldn't help but mutter this matter to Chairman La." Teng Huatao smiled awkwardly, he originally had some small thoughts, but obviously failed at this moment.

"Alright, then it's settled. If there is nothing else, you go back first." La Peikang opened his mouth to drive people away, how could he not see Teng Huatao's little thoughts?

"Chairman La, then I'll go first." Teng Huatao was very sensible and immediately got up to say goodbye.

The office door just closed, and before La Peikang could complain to the secretary, someone knocked on the door again.

"Come in." La Peikang looked up, it was someone from China Film Digital.

He frowned suspiciously, because if there was nothing big, this department would not come to his office to find him, "What's wrong, seeing you in such a hurry?"

"Chairman La, the bureau just called, asking if the public screening key for 'Youth' has started production? Because it is generally completed and issued three days before the film is released, so I answered that it hasn't started yet, but I can let 'Youth' jump the queue. But the bureau's meaning seems to be not in a hurry, and asked me to tell you, let you return a call to Director Tong."

"Hmm, I know, you go back first." In an instant, La Peikang realized that something big was happening. The secretary on the side also followed the person from China Film Digital out of the office very consciously.

Picking up the landline, La Peikang was stunned for two seconds, you know, he hadn't called Director Tong's office for a long time. He even thought that before the other party retired, they would not talk again.

In just ten seconds, the other side was connected.

"Director Tong?"

"Were you in a meeting just now?"

"You can call directly, the group's trivial matters are naturally not as important as the bureau's business." La Peikang said with a smile.

A "hmm" came from the other end of the phone, followed by a quite formal notification: "Cancel the production of the public screening key for 'Youth' on the China Film Digital side, the bureau wants to temporarily take this film off the screen, and will notify Huayi in a few days..."

"I understand, I will let the people below do a good job of confidentiality. Director Tong, I want to ask, is it a censorship problem?" La Peikang still couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, content problem."

"I will notify the people below in a while." Without asking another word, La Peikang replied immediately, and the other end of the phone also hung up.

"Come in."

The secretary who had been waiting at the office door pushed the door and entered, "Chairman La?"

"Take the public screening key of 'Youth' off the screen, let them keep it confidential."

"Good, I'll go right away."

Looking at the office door that was closed again, La Peikang had already guessed about it, "Rejected three times, the fourth time passed, but it was taken off the screen at the last minute? Then the public screening permit obtained last time... is it the relationship between August 1st or China Film? Director Tong called? This is Director Zhang is not convenient!"

……

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were flipping through the script of 'Hello Mr. Billionaire', while Yan Fei was talking about his creative ideas.

"The story is actually very simple, but it is also very imaginative. In addition, we also conducted very important connections and interactions with 'Goodbye Mr. Loser'. For example, the shot of Yuan Hua's district mayor father, including how he fell. This can also be considered an effective filling of the pit for 'Goodbye Mr. Loser', which will bring the fans and fans of this film to 'Hello Mr. Billionaire'..."

"The simpler the story, the more it tests the actors, so the lead must be the original cast of 'Goodbye Mr. Loser'?" Liu Yifei took the initiative to ask, in fact, she had already determined 90% in her heart.

"Hmm. Still Shen Teng and Ma Li!" Yan Fei nodded with a smile.

"'Crazy Alien' should be able to finish filming ahead of schedule, Shen Teng can seamlessly connect to the crew. Use Ma Li, very good, can't change."

Lin Nan nodded and instructed. However, the next second, he became interested and teased Yan Fei about gossip: "Shen Teng's wife, is she still a vinegar jar now?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and her heart of gossip was greatly aroused.

Looking at Yan Fei again, he was already in an awkward look, but he still explained: "Before 'Goodbye Mr. Loser', both sides had a status of female high and male low; even for so many years, the woman's family has always looked down on him a bit. And these years, Shen Teng and Ma Li have indeed walked very close, once close like a couple...

Later, the explosion of 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' made the status of both men and women instantly reverse 180 degrees. The previously strong woman was anxious, and without discussing or greeting Shen Teng, she suddenly forced marriage in front of the media.

She wouldn't let him not agree at that time, otherwise he would be Chen Shimei. As for her scolding Ma Li, hey, just like that.

Fortunately, Shen Teng can be considered to have stood up now, and can suppress his wife, but the vinegar jar... this can't be changed, hahaha."
