Chapter 922
The stormy public opinion riot across the web made Weibo's traffic so high that the server crashed, causing the webpage and client to be paralyzed.
The reason is very simple, it was Lu Han who took the initiative and publicly announced Guan Xiaotong at 12 o'clock noon!
The traffic of top-tier artists was for the first time substantially displayed in front of all walks of life, giving everyone a concrete understanding.
However, traffic artists are ultimately going to be shackled by traffic, this is an undeniable fact.
This is not it, the overwhelming scolding and blessings were mixed together, and the voices attacking Guan Xiaotong and unfollowing Lu Han even completely overwhelmed the blessings for both sides.
But it must be admitted, knowing that publicizing a relationship is the biggest taboo for idol stars, Lu Han still took the initiative to publicize it, just from this point, he is indeed quite manly.
You must know that Heavenly King Liu hid his relationship for many years for the sake of his career, and even once secretly married.
Of course, Lu Han's traffic is indeed still 108,000 miles away compared to Andy Lau of those years.
Within an hour after Weibo returned to normal, the male side gained nearly 500,000 followers...
These two pieces of data can be called terrifying, but at the same time, it explains one thing, that is, rational fans ultimately account for the vast majority.
And the bold operation of the top-tier star ignoring the risk of career backlash and resolutely announcing the relationship also really attracted a large wave of passersby's favor, that is, passerby fans.
"Look, quite a few people are saying, the last time such an explosive announcement was you and me.
It's just that the two of us were at the Venice awards ceremony, and it was midnight in the country, so there was no scene of instant explosion on the internet, hehe."
Liu Yifei brushed the comments and posts about herself, and for a while, she was quite nostalgic, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Flowers on brocade, fire cooking oil." Lin Nan replied with a smile.
Announcing a relationship at the peak of one's career requires great courage. Either hold hands and go all the way, or... it's best not to drag it out for too long.
Like Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, it's fine, after all, they live together, one is in front of the stage, one is behind the scenes, they walked out of school together, their personalities are completely similar and complementary, only missing a certificate.
But two actors, and so young, and 7 years apart... Under the traffic, under the starlight, under the ups and downs of the career, there are too many unknowns on this road.
Starting from the afternoon, the entire film and television circle was sending blessings, which was unusually lively.
And the traffic on the internet also maintained a boiling state, especially Guan Xiaotong, she even had a posture of wanting to use this to become a first-line young actress.
Undoubtedly, she is really going to take off this time, and the subsequent resources and traffic will definitely be much better; but whether she can grasp and digest it, this depends on her own fate.
If you ask which "bystanders" are most happy about the big news in the entertainment circle today, it must be China Film Group, Teng Huatao, and other producers and creators of "Shanghai Fortress."
Because the name of this film is tightly behind Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, dominating the headlines of the entire web together.
And for the whole afternoon, inside the China Film Digital Production Base, the outside of the studio belonging to the "Shanghai Fortress" crew was blocked tightly by dense media reporters and fans.
Countless long guns and short cannons were set up outside the crew, and quite a few real-time live broadcasts on Weibo were opened, just waiting for Lu Han to appear.
"Traffic is indeed a good thing, it can expand the film's promotion scope and influence to the maximum in a very short time, thereby saving a lot of promotion costs and resources."
Looking at the movement on the internet, La Peikang smiled with emotion. In all fairness, this was the first time he had personally experienced the blessing effect of top-tier artists on film popularity, which was indeed unparalleled.
"Chairman La."
Seeing the people from China Film distribution come in, La Peikang then put away the faint smile on his face. Thinking of the things the other party was going to report next, his tone couldn't help but hesitate: "How much?"
"As of 4 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, just now, today's daily box office is 7.21 million, two-thirds less than the 22.1 million at the same time yesterday.
Chairman La, the National Day long holiday has ended, this 'Sky Hunter' is expected to be difficult to last for another week." The person from the distribution company added a sentence.
"What is the total box office?" La Peikang's brows were already completely wrinkled, and he had completely lost the good face he had before the other party came in.
"Counting today's 7.42 million, it is 272 million. We estimate that the total box office will most likely stop at around 300 million. This film's 200 million investment will lose quite a bit."
Hearing this data and prediction, La Peikang completely gave up. Although official media has been issuing articles affirming the success and positive image of "Sky Hunter," but actually... everyone understands.
And there is the Air Force side, although they have been playing dumb, the ridicule from the Navy side has never stopped, and it has lasted for many days.
In addition, the former can ignore the losses of those investments, but China Film cannot do it, because China Film shares have already been listed.
And as a state-owned listed company, it has to hand in a report card to the competent department. Especially since there is another state-owned listed company like China Film shares, there are two in the industry, this is to be taken out for comparison!
"Ren Zhonglun... I know, you go back to work first."
La Peikang waved his hand powerlessly, he wanted to be quiet.
The next morning, "Hidden Man," which had been silent for four months since wrapping up in early June, suddenly spread news.
"Controlled by Emperor Motion Pictures and Bu Yi Le Hu, jointly produced by more than ten film and television companies in the industry, directed by Jiang Wen, the final chapter of the Beiyang series 'Hidden Man,' released a release announcement this morning; the film is officially set for July 13th of next year's summer slot...
Director Jiang Wen accepted a media phone interview and said that 'Let the Bullets Fly' and 'Gone with the Bullets' were both in the New Year slot, this time he intends to change his taste; and the summer slot is also one of the two biggest slots of the year, on par with the Spring Festival slot, enough for 'Hidden Man' to enjoy itself and toss..."
When Lin Nan was brushing the news, Jiang Wen, who had been in seclusion for a long time, called. Regarding this, Lin Nan could only wish him good luck:
"I'll tell you this, several films I invested in are aiming at next year's summer slot, it's just that they haven't been publicly set yet."
"Let them all come, I'll step on them one by one, don't cry when the time comes. His grandfather, I thought it was your film going to next year's summer slot. After a long time, it's a group of small fish and shrimp..."
Good fellow, Lin Nan hadn't heard Jiang Wen's arrogant remarks for a long time, and hearing it again this time, he felt a bit close. Hmm, felt very close!
"Okay, then you just wait to be beaten by a group, haha."
Lin Nan was really not joking with Jiang Wen, next year's summer slot will indeed be a scene of big films gathering. Because at least three or four films invested by Lin Nan Pictures will be set at that time.
Just when Lin Nan was listening to Jiang Wen continue to brag and make harsh remarks, the phone suddenly stopped abruptly, followed by a surprise, it was Jiang Wen's voice: "What? When did he become so prolific?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
"Ning Hao is starting a new movie again?" Following Jiang Wen's rhetorical question, Lin Nan instantly reacted.
"Around nine o'clock in the morning, Bad Monkey Pictures released a film project announcement to the outside world:
Directed by Ning Hao, written by Xing Aina, the family affection suspense blockbuster 'The Father' is officially established, and the film is open for casting to the industry from today."
"According to information on the official website of Bad Monkey Pictures, the film 'The Father' is controlled by Bad Monkey Pictures, Red Star Dock participated in the investment, jointly produced..."
A film project announcement can be said to have attracted the eyes of the entire industry. The release news of "Hidden Man" was completely robbed of the limelight.
All film companies and actors in the industry know very clearly that Director Ning is currently filming "Crazy Alien."
But why did he rush to establish another one before he finished the things at hand?
This completely does not conform to his filming rhythm and laws over the past 16 years, but "The Father" is indeed clearly and clearly hanging on the official website of Bad Monkey Pictures... making everyone confused!
Qingdao, Oriental Movie Metropolis, Director's Lounge.
Huang Bo could no longer think about it, he pointed at Ning Hao's nose and scolded and spat:
"Your grandfather, using us as livestock, turns out it's to rush for this film? What are you doing, it's not like there's no time, is it necessary to work your life away?"
"Brother Bo, you wait first, look clearly: family, affection, suspense film! You look at the name of this film again, how literary it is."
Shen Teng's sixth sense was eager to try, and he hurriedly pulled Huang Bo with a smile.
The latter is also worthy of being Ning Hao's old friend and old partner for many years, only stunned for two seconds after coming back to his senses, and then reacted:
"Haozi, are you going to... rush for an award again after many years? Rushing for time... are you rushing for the registration time of the film festival?"
Huang Bo was scared by his own guess, but instantly became agitated and excited again.
Ning Hao scanned Huang Bo's "ugly" face with "disdain," and then continued to close his eyes and rest on the lounge chair, ignoring him.
"Hey, just treat the nonsense I just said as if you didn't hear it. Quick, tell me, what kind of film is this? I can also seamlessly connect."
"That Director Ning, you look at me, actually I also have a restless heart..."
"Go, go, go, your Happy Mahua's 'Hello Mr. Billionaire' has already been established. Everyone knows you are the male lead, why are you joining in the fun here?" Huang Bo squeezed Shen Teng out angrily.
The familiar pure music ringtone interrupted the laughter and fighting between Huang Bo and Shen Teng, making the noisy atmosphere in the lounge instantly become quiet.
The three looked at the mobile phone on the coffee table at the same time, and saw the incoming call reminder on the lit screen: Dong Ping!
It's just that Ning Hao only glanced at it, and then lay flat on the lounge chair again, unmoved.
At this time, Huang Bo also figured out the taste: in the film project announcement released by Bad Monkey Pictures, there seem to be only two producers, no Huanxi. But Ning Hao has a founder shareholder agreement with Huanxi!
"Shen Teng, let's go, let's go out for a stroll."
"Okay, Brother Bo, let's go. Filmed for a whole morning, I also have a bit of back pain, I really need to go out for a walk and move my bones."
Shen Teng is a smart person, instantly understanding Huang Bo's meaning. The two sang and harmonized, and left the lounge, and even closed the door for Ning Hao.
"Director Ning is resting, don't go in and disturb..." Outside the door, the sound of Huang Bo instructing the crew staff gradually blurred.
The mobile phone ringtone rang for a full thirty seconds, no one answered. Thirty seconds later, another thirty seconds, still no one answered.
Ning Hao pretended not to hear it, only Xing Aina's "fierce" instructions echoed in his mind: "You are a character who wants face and suffers, it's best not to talk about this matter with Dong Ping and the others head-on.
If they look for you, you are filming. After they can't contact you, they will naturally come to find me, because I am in the capital!"
Regarding his own big screenwriter's preaching, Ning Hao is convinced. And regarding "The Father," this film project that is crucial to him, so he will only honestly listen to words, listen to his wife's words!
Capital, Huanxi.
After the fifth call still went unanswered, Dong Ping gave up.
He shook his head at Xu Zheng who was also looking angry sitting on the office sofa: "Still no one answered, maybe they are really busy?"
"Everyone is busy? Including the assistant? They suddenly established a film, and the couple, one is a director and one is a screenwriter, obviously they are indeed in control, but they didn't notify the group..." Xu Zheng seemed to be talking to himself, and also responding to Dong Ping's guess.
"Isn't Xing Aina in the capital. Let's go, we will go directly to Bad Monkey to see her this afternoon and ask about this matter." Dong Ping decided decisively.
"Good, I guess she is also waiting for us. Obviously, they don't want to share this film project." As an old acquaintance for many years, Xu Zheng is confident that he understands Ning Hao and his wife.
At the same time, on the Bad Monkey side, Xing Aina was already asking Liu Yifei what she wanted to eat at noon. Of course, it must be her, the host, who treats.
"I'm not picky, just bring a dozen dishes." Liu rolled her eyes and joked.
"Okay, a dozen it is. The two of us have been busy all morning, we should reward ourselves." Xing Aina directly followed the trend, picked up the phone on the table with a smile.
Liu Yifei did not stop her, because she was indeed a bit hungry, and she was greedy by nature. Besides, the two of them had indeed been busy for a long time, so they naturally couldn't treat themselves badly at this time.
All morning, many actors and agents contacted them, and even ran to Bad Monkey Pictures in person to inquire about news; their "respectful" posture was very well grasped.
It's just that no one had ideas about the male lead, they were all staring at other roles among the main actors.
In addition, I have to sigh, smart people in the circle ultimately account for the vast majority.
Everyone can almost see: "The Father" is a typical award-rushing film. Its subject matter is too upright, almost without commercial attributes!
"Sister Na, have you and Director Ning decided on the male lead?" Seeing Xing Aina finished ordering food like a menu, Liu Yifei then asked about the matter she just remembered.
She told Xing Aina all the options of veteran actors Lin Nan gave yesterday evening, letting the latter make a decision quickly, so as to communicate with the actors in time, after all, this film is very urgent and time-rushed.
Saw Xing Aina nod quite seriously, "I thought about it in the middle of the night last night, and I was ready to tell you two today."
"Who?"
"Maybe I need to trouble Lin Nan to make a trip, after all, the other two are older, and Ning Hao and I are really afraid that they won't be able to rush the work and their bodies will have problems... What we lack most now is time."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately understood, "Good, I'll call Lin Nan when we eat lunch later."
"Detective Chinatown 2" officially entered the countdown to wrapping up, and the director Lu Yang was even more excited to the point of not sleeping in the middle of the night, making a video call back across a 12-hour time difference.
"All of us have reached an agreement, and even formulated the itinerary to return to the country, and bought tickets in batches, we will definitely wrap up completely before the 14th domestic time, that is, within 5 days..."
Lin Nan, Guo Fan, and others listened to Lu Yang talking eloquently while eating boxed lunches, hmm, watching him swallow his saliva. This guy misses domestic food too much, especially wants to eat a bowl of stewed meat.
"When you come back, we will hold a wrap-up banquet for you. In addition, the post-production of 'Operation Red Sea' will be successfully completed by the end of this month. After you come back, you must immediately start the post-production of 'Detective Chinatown 2,' it's best to finish it within a month."
Lin Nan just finished instructing, his mobile phone vibrated. "You guys talk first, I'll go answer Yifei's call."
"Guo Fan, let me tell you, after 'Detective Chinatown 2' and 'Operation Red Sea' are screened, I must have a good rest.
Hmm, at least rest for a big half year, and then prepare for the next movie. I don't plan to film modern dramas for the next one, I want to start a period drama!"
"You already have a plan?" Guo Fan picked up the juice beside him and asked curiously.
"No plan yet, but there are so many things in the screenwriting department, just pick one when the time comes. Action, martial arts, even fantasy are all fine, I still prefer these subject matters."
On the other side, Director Lin had already nodded and accepted the task assigned by Producer Liu, "No problem, I will take time to go there in person this afternoon."
In the afternoon, the news that Milk Tea's directorial debut, "Us and Them," was quietly launched spread on the internet.
For a while, another big wave of traffic swept over, because the main cast was very luxurious.
Jing Boran, Zhou Dongyu... even Tian Zhuangzhuang sold the favor of certain old guys in Taiwan and joined the actor team.
However, what was most discussed on the internet was still some old sesame and rotten grain matters. After all, mentioning Milk Tea, a certain Chef Huang would definitely be dragged out by netizens to whip the corpse.
"'Music Band's daily box office decline trend is also very obvious, this is still the result after we invested a lot of promotion before.
And according to the market department's forecast, the final total box office should fall between 400 million and 500 million. Overall, we and Wanda are still making money, after all, adding the additional investment in promotion, the cost is only 90 million."
"But ultimately it's not making much money." Wang Changtian was still a bit regretful, but a smile also appeared on his face.
"Then you think about the 'Sky Hunter' of the Air Force and China Film, does your mood feel better now?"
"Hmm? Don't say, it's better. Happiness is indeed compared, hahaha."
After laughing, Wang Changtian changed the subject and immediately complained about Lin Nan again:
"Ning Hao's 'The Father' is too weird, plus there is Red Star Dock's investment, so I have full confidence to be sure that it was definitely obtained from Lin Nan.
With Ning Hao's temperament, how could Bad Monkey have the copyright of foreign stage plays? It's also impossible to think of adapting foreign stage plays! In terms of copyright, Lin Nan Pictures is a big household! This guy is just too stingy, actually didn't know to call us!"
When Wang Changtian was complaining about Lin Nan, Dong Ping and Xu Zheng had already arrived at Bad Monkey Pictures.
The atmosphere in the office was a bit cold, but this did not affect Liu Yifei playing with her phone on the side at all. And when Dong Ping and the two came in, they greeted her with a smile first.
"Although this film looks indeed controlled by Bad Monkey, not all Bad Monkey films are applicable to Huanxi's shareholder agreement." Xing Aina said unceremoniously.
Dong Ping and the two heard this, and immediately realized the problem. Xing Aina could be so tough, obviously prepared early.
"Talk about it, it seems you have really been waiting for us to come to the door." A smile appeared on Dong Ping's face, after all, they are all their own people, harmony is the primary thing.
"The copyright was begged from Yifei, to be precise, this is a project initiated by Yifei and me together, I plan to earn some private money for Bad Monkey!
In addition, Bad Monkey is not considered the absolute controlling party. Because we and Red Star Dock are 50-50, equally divided investment. This is a cooperation between Bad Monkey and Red Star Dock, which is exclusive.
And in Huanxi's shareholder agreement, I remember there is no provision that shareholders cannot cooperate with other companies alone; it only stipulates that for projects initiated by shareholders themselves and having absolute decision-making power, the group has priority investment rights... Otherwise, wouldn't the shareholder's own company and Huanxi become a subordinate relationship?"
Xing Aina was talking endlessly, her attitude was tough.
Dong Ping and Xu Zheng had already turned black, because the big screenwriter Xing was not giving any face at all, really just following the rules by picking words.
In their hearts, both were scolding: "Your Ning Hao is not as unreasonable as you, like a fierce woman!"
Liu Yifei was still chatting with Shu Chang in a corner away from the few people, but the corners of her mouth had already risen obscurely; the feeling of watching the excitement is really good, especially Sister Na's fierce woman appearance, she must learn...
The feeling the Central Academy of Drama gives people is much more solemn than the Central Academy of Drama, even if it is just standing at the main entrance.
After all, the calligraphy of the school name comes from the great man, it is his handwritten! Of course, the original version is treasured.
The security department person stood beside the main driver, across the lowered car window, handed the registration form to Lin Nan with a smile, and even joked:
"Director Lin, you are a rare guest and a distinguished guest, the last time you came was when filming 'Marriage Story.' This time, you aren't here to pick people, right? Then I have to call the acting department, let them prepare quickly."
"It's best not to call, if the movement is big, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the gate of the Central Academy of Drama today, and will be surrounded by students who come up to recommend themselves." After Lin Nan wrote down the registration information, he joked and returned it to the security department person.
"That's not it, who makes us have few big directors. Why don't you transfer, come to the Central Academy of Drama to be a professor. We are at the deputy ministerial level here, one level higher than the Central Academy of Drama..."
"Good fellow, you are representing the Central Academy of Drama to dig me in person? How is the treatment calculated?" Lin Nan really couldn't help laughing, this is too scary.
"I'm serious, after all, I'm also a person of the Central Academy of Drama, with a position. As for the treatment, let the school leaders talk to you in person, haha..."
The joking sound at the school gate attracted the attention of many people, and many people saw the figure of Director Lin one after another, and for a while, they were very excited.
Seeing this, Lin Nan hurriedly waved to this talkative old acquaintance in the security department, and decisively drove into the school.
But before he found a place to park, the news that "Director Lin Nan came to the Central Academy of Drama" had already spread rapidly in the Central Academy of Drama, and it was impossible to be low-key at all.
