Isn't this the best opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you also overlooked one point, and that is that the current Zhou Xingchi is no longer the Zhou Xingchi of a dozen years ago; he is now a qualified capitalist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he only needs to make one call, and the co-producers of 'The Mermaid 2' will handle these noisy signals for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Nan, who had originally intended to share the joke with Wang Changtian, was instead reminded by Old Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, he really hadn't considered this point. No wonder the usually reticent Zhou Xingchi rarely responded to questions about Huang Shengyi; it turns out he didn't care at all about whether he would be used for clout!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it's even more interesting! That shoe-face is truly a hopeless idiot. Just wait to see him get educated by those few companies together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's talk about your 'Mulan' instead. Your behavior of staying home and not showing your face since you got back has been the subject of much complaining in the circle. A production budget of 200 million USD, nearly 1.4 billion RMB in funds—such a huge cake...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! I'm exactly afraid of you all staring at me, which is why I haven't stepped out of the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Nan also had a headache, the first time he had a headache over how to spend money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 200 million USD investment, letting a Hollywood team do it, that is a top-tier A-level production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after converting it to RMB and letting him preside over the project, it is not just a simple \"top-tier A-level production\" that can describe it. This level of wealth is simply frighteningly rich; too rich!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more you hide, the more everyone thinks about you. After all, everyone knows that although your company is large, it still can't eat this super big cake alone... You definitely need a lot of helpers; this is also the news revealed at the Disney press conference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the 10th, my company will send out invitations to the entire industry, but they will mainly be for those film studios, universities, and museums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, you can also help me convey this: Disney will send a team to follow the crew throughout the process, plus audit the financial accounts at all times;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So companies or units that want to come here to daydream had better dispel those thoughts. I won't be inviting them out of personal favors, and there are no connections to be walked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Enlighten...\" Wang Changtian was a bit anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of domestic promotion and distribution, it should be able to help a little, haha...\" Lin Nan's tone was filled with a sense of still considering, laughing unscrupulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard, you're playing the 'killing the donkey after it's done grinding' game with me, right? Which movie of your company isn't being promoted by Enlighten right now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was joking with Wang Changtian, another call suddenly popped up on Lin Nan's phone screen;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression stiffened instantly, and his brows furrowed slightly; after a flash of lightning in his mind, he decisively rejected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the China Film Digital Production Base, outside the studio of the \"Shanghai Fortress\" crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary shook his head at La Peikang for the third time, and the latter understood instantly. Although he remained expressionless, the displeasure in his eyes was not concealed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Teng Huatao had already greeted him with a smile, \"Chairman La, the crew is just about to have lunch, would you like to join?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I came to visit the set today anyway, just in time to taste the crew's food.\" La Peikang smiled naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a film project with an investment of 400 million, the crew's food would naturally not be bad. Before long, with the enthusiastic warm-up from lead actors like Shu Qi and Lu Han, La Peikang took his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people ate and chatted, and many big words were spoken unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman La, in at most half a month, 'Shanghai Fortress' will be completely wrapped. As for post-production, it definitely won't be finished before the end of next year. So the film's release will likely have to wait until the year after next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means it's impossible to release during the 2019 New Year season and the 2020 Spring Festival season?\" La Peikang was clearly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time is too tight.\" Teng Huatao shook his head. At the same time, he was hesitating whether to tell La Peikang his idea, which was that \"Shanghai Fortress\" should try to set its release date after \"The Wandering Earth\" is set. Although he had always been full of confidence, for the sake of the box office, it was better to avoid it if possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the time is too tight, then so be it. It's better to be steady. Regarding the box office...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can rest assured about that. This year's summer season is already a box office market of nearly 6 billion for a single film. By the year after next, it will easily be over 6 billion. Even if we can't get that high, half shouldn't be a problem, right? Haha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Teng Huatao patted his chest and made solemn promises, Lu Han, Shu Qi, and others all echoed in agreement, looking like they were all of one mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the haze in La Peikang's heart caused by those few \"missed calls\" seemed to have temporarily vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set visit, ended in a hurry. After the actors began to touch up their makeup for the afternoon scenes, La Peikang left the crew with his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they left the studio, the secretary approached, \"Chairman La, Director Lin just returned my message, saying he was talking to Chairman Wang of Enlighten earlier. If we have official work matters, we can go directly to contact Yue Jun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an official tone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sentence with no discernible emotion was spat out from the leader's mouth, and before the secretary could react, the former had already walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Father\" held a high-profile opening ceremony in Shanghai, while \"Hello Mr. Billionaire\" also grandly started filming in Xiamen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan were not idle either. Miss Liu was replying to Disney's emails, while the great Director Lin was busy dealing with Yue Jun's complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing these, he still had to wash up, dress, and change clothes, preparing to go out to attend Han Jia's \"Hongmen Banquet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just say what you need to say. If you really feel it's hard to speak up these two days, then wait until after the 10th to reply to China Film. By then, the list will be out, and there will naturally be people standing in front, and they can handle it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, then after the 10th. But I really feel that China Film can't help much; their 'communication' on this matter is purely to take advantage.\" Yue Jun said very affirmatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's it. I won't be going to the company these few days. If there's anything, handle it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Jun could hear that Lin Nan intended to hang up, so he didn't say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Disney team will arrive in the capital on the 5th of next month and won't leave until 'Mulan' is completely wrapped. My good days are only about a month left. Starting next month, I have to transform into Mulan and begin half a year of intensive training... Are you sure there's no problem with preparing my training team in one month?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a laptop in her arms. She made a miserable expression at Lin Nan, complaining and teasing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Nan first nodded, then immediately showed a miserable look: \"Sigh, my bitter days are coming too. Not because I have to transform into an ox or horse starting next month and devote myself to the preparation work for 'Mulan,' but because my wife is going to super-evolve, and the days of domestic violence in the future will definitely increase...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're bad-mouthing me again. When have I ever committed domestic violence against you? I think you're looking for a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Echoing Lin Nan's laughter, Miss Liu also cooperated and started acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put the computer aside, pounced on Lin Nan beside her like a tiger descending a mountain, and sat her perky butt on the great Director Lin: \"Hehe, keep slandering me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, this is the evidence!\" A head of long hair with the fresh scent of shampoo hung over Lin Nan's face, rubbing back and forth; he looked face-to-face at Liu Yifei, who was leaning over. Although that face was truly devastatingly beautiful, his mouth was still full of \"iron-boned\" resistance, but it was useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one saw it anyway, humph...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing around for a while, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went straight to the walk-in closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-third that was once agreed to be left for the great Director Lin now only had about one-fifth left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, out of two walk-in closets of over a hundred square meters, Lin Nan only occupied one-fifth of one of them; it was simply unbearable. Sigh, forget it, just bear it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At ten-thirty, a flash of red unique to Ferrari rushed out of the villa estate, the roar sounding like thunder. If any acquaintance were nearby, they would definitely be able to guess who was in the driver's seat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, outside the private restaurant, another Ferrari also turned off its engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver's side door opened, and Han Jia stepped out in a trench coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took off the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, looked at her father who still had a dark face in the passenger seat, and teased with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've had this car for so long, and this is your first time sitting in it. How does it feel? Is there a sense of youthful excitement? Even so, you were dead set against sitting in my car at home just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's so good about that Audi? It's so old-fashioned, I've never liked it... Hmm, we should be the first to arrive, let's go, let's go in and order some things that you and I like to eat... Dad, why aren't you talking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you give me a chance to speak?\" Han Sanping strode forward, too lazy to pay attention to Han Jia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, wasn't I just talking to you about the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shouldn't have given you my salary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, it's too late to say that now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>",2076,"2026-06-20T03:22:13.361Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3aab26cf012f2f63eec9959a539d29ef586d49c844f0e190b7a5746101d22720","that-year-in-huayu-chapter-949","that-year-in-huayu-chapter-947",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthat-year-in-huayu-cover.jpg"]
