Chapter 361: Ban? Thoughts

"Director Lin, you should understand that great directors are very serious and even serious about their film works..."

Of course Lin Nan understood these principles, but what did Chen Hong mean by calling him?

"Sister Hong, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Hong over there didn't hide it and said directly:

"Previously, Director Chen was casting for a new play, and I was the producer. Yang Mi from your company came over to audition for the supporting actress. After many considerations, and for your sake, I finally cast her without even thinking about it.

Before signing the contract, I made it clear that during the filming of the movie, she could only have one role, "Search", which is also Director Chen's consistent request..."

The more Chen Hong spoke, the angrier he became, and his tone became a bit harsh unconsciously.

After all, following Chen Kaige for so many years, he has always been a top player in the industry, and that kind of momentum has long been engraved in his bones.

After a while, Chen Hong realized something was wrong. The person facing her was no ordinary insider, and her tone immediately softened.

“Director Lin, that’s the thing, I definitely don’t want this person anymore.

Director Chen doesn't like to get involved in such trivial matters. According to my temper, I would at least announce a ban on the circle..."

Lin Nan felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He was lectured in person and couldn't refute. Because he knew that this was Yang Mi's style.

"Well, thank you Sister Hong for giving me this face. I think the crew's decision is very reasonable. I will go visit the crew another day..."

"Haha, Director Lin is too polite. You and Yifei are welcome to come over at any time."

…………

It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

"I heard that Yang Mi was kicked out of the crew of "Search" directed by Kai Ge?"

"He must have been replaced. No matter what, he must be worried about Director Lin's face."

"Isn't it common in our industry to take on several dramas at the same time?"

"But that's Chen Kaige's movie, can it be the same!"

…

This kind of gossip about popular actresses will always spread in the film and television entertainment industry immediately, and many actresses are very happy about it.

In addition, now that Yang Mi has been kicked out, doesn't that mean there is another chance?

Many people are speculating on what will happen to Yang Mi who offended Chen Kaige and Chen Hong.

In the eyes of the latter two, what does a first-tier actress mean?

Some people are even looking forward to a contest between the two great directors. It's very childish...

At this time, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were in a state of complete panic.

"Probably, it shouldn't be banned. After all, Director Lin..."

Zeng Jia said nervously, stuttering a little.

Yesterday afternoon, the two of them were "left" from the "Search" crew, and they have been hesitating whether to tell Yue Jun about this.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up this morning, the news spread in a small area...

"Let's go find Director Yue and tell him."

Yang Mi was also very nervous and scared, but her remaining sense told her that she had to quickly find the company to help her deal with the aftermath.

When Zeng Jia heard this, she suddenly woke up and said, "Yes, yes, you have to tell Director Yue quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Mi's phone vibrated.

The caller ID above clearly stated the words "Director Yue".

"Hurry up and pick it up."

While urging Yang Mi, Zeng Jia took out her mobile phone from her bag and found two missed calls.

Yang Mi answered the phone tremblingly, her heart beating fast.

There was no swearing or sarcastic words as expected, but a calm notice asking her and Zeng Jia to return to the company.

This kind of tone of voice without any emotion made Yang Mi even more uneasy.

"Jiajia, Director Yue asked us to go back. Director Lin wants to see us."

When Zeng Jia heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She usually dealt with Yue Jun on work matters.

…………

Lin Nan hung up the phone and wanted to laugh but couldn't.

In just two hours, many acquaintances in the industry called.

Everyone was asking him if he had any conflicts with Chen Kaige and if he needed to mediate and make peace.

Han Sanping and others even suggested that they should set up a table in the middle. After all, Lin Nan and Chen Kaige are both top mainland directors, so it is best not to have any conflicts.

"There's quite a lot to think about. How can there be any conflict over this little thing? Is it worth causing conflict?"

Lin Nan smiled and muttered. Thinking of Yang Mi, I was momentarily speechless.

…………

Not long after they went out, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia found themselves being followed by reporters.

When we arrived at Lin Nan Pictures, reporters even trotted up:

"Yang Mi, can you tell us about your departure from the crew of "Search"?"

The two ignored it and quickly entered the building.

Along the way, many employees saw this company's artist, a first-line actress.

"Director Yue is out on business. I want you to go directly to Director Lin's office when you arrive."

"OK, all right."

…

There was a knock on the door and a "come in" came.

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia saw Lin Nan writing something, which seemed to be a script.

The two sat on the sofa and waited for more than twenty minutes.

The office was quiet, but the two of them were very uneasy.

Suddenly, Lin Nan stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Yang Mi and Zeng Jia.

"Do you think that the more popular a star is, the more he should be in dramas? The more dramas he has, the more popular he is?"

Lin Nan's face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Zeng Jia didn't know how to answer, but Yang Mi nodded blankly, that's how she understood it.

"Chen Hong wants to ban you..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's emotions instantly lost control, "I didn't delay any of her scenes, I was just not in the crew when I didn't have a scene."

"Yes, you are right. But you seem to have concealed something. "Search" does not allow actors to participate in other dramas at the same time?"

"I, I..."

Yang Mi's face turned pale, and Zeng Jia's face next to her was not good either. Are they really going to ban him? Chen Kaige has the ability to do this!

"Maybe I should have talked to you once." Lin Nan glanced at the two of them.

"As you think, the more popular you are, the more you will be in other dramas. This is very common in the circle, but since you promised the crew not to overlap with other dramas, you should do it.

I can understand Chen Kaige's request. For a big director, he must hope that the actor will fully integrate into his own drama. Overlapping dramas can easily affect the role's substitution and the actor's state.

You don't have the acting skills of Liang Jiahui, why do you overlap with the big director's drama?"

Lin Nan's words are very naked, but it is the truth.

At this moment, Yang Mi's mind was full of the word "ban", her eyes were slightly red, her body was trembling, and she was only in fear and trepidation, and Zeng Jia was the same.

"If you continue like this, it will be over sooner or later. With so many dramas, how much energy can you put into each one? How much acting skills can you improve?

The company has never forced you to take on dramas so desperately. If you perfunctorily do the work in the beginning, you will know that you are also perfunctorily doing it in the end, and your reputation and impression will plummet..."

Lin Nan didn't say anything. What the hell is wiping tears? How old is he.

Zeng Jia couldn't help but speak out at this time, "Director Lin, are they really going to ban Mimi?"

"Haha, or ban me too?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the two of them instantly felt like the death penalty was cancelled, and they were extremely excited.

Without waiting for the two to be happy, Lin Nan spoke again, "After the several acting contracts this time are over, take care of yourself. If you do this again in the future, I will not be as easy to talk to as today.

Now you can ignore Chen Kaige, who knows what he will do in the future! Don't you think so?"

…………

Under the Lin Nan Film Building.

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia sat in the car, looking at the building in front of them, thinking about what Lin Nan had just said.

"Banned? It turns out that even if you become a first-tier star, you will be banned!"

Zeng Jia glanced at Yang Mi, wondering why she said this?

"Jia Jia, I used to think that first-tier stars should have a very high status in the circle, but now I know that it is not the case at all. Madam Chen, can't you ban whoever you want?"

Yang Mi's voice was powerless. She felt good after surviving a disaster, but she was still a little scared.

She seemed to have forgotten that she did not comply with the requirements of the "Search" crew.

Zeng Jia nodded:

"It's different. She is a producer, and Director Chen is a big boss in the circle. They are the resource providers and the capital! They have a lot of say and influence in the circle!

And you are just an actor. If it weren't for Director Lin's support, I really can't imagine this time..."

At this point, the car suddenly became quiet, and Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at each other fiercely.

After so many years together, they have a tacit understanding of some things. At this moment, an idea came to their minds.

"Let's go back first."

"Well, okay."

…………

The crew of "Search" was quiet.

There was no news from Chen Hong's company and Shanhai Media, but the industry was sure that Yang Mi had indeed left the crew.

This made many young actresses in the circle feel sorry. Every first-line actress occupies a lot of resources, such as acting appointments and endorsements.

The fall of any first-line means that a lot of resources will be freed up for others.

Obviously, Yang Mi held on. As for the reason, it must be because she has a good company.

"It's a pity. He was fine even after offending Director Chen Kaige. He really found a good backer."

Cai Yinong was happy to see Yang Mi laugh, but things didn't go as planned.

…………

If we talk about the tricks, it has to be Yang Tsai of Juli.

Originally, the three movies were all scheduled to be released on the 29th. Now that there were only three days left, Yang Tsai did something tricky.

Bona, the co-distributor of Juli, moved the release time of "Legend of the White Snake" forward by 6 hours, that is, to be released at 6 pm on the 28th.

The last one to do this was Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang", in order to make the first-day box office performance better.

Other movies have 24 hours on the first day, but "White Snake" has 30 hours on the first day.

And after 6 pm, it is obviously the peak time for watching movies.

This little trick was complained by a large number of film companies in the industry. After all, the first-day box office is also a big promotional selling point for the follow-up!

Guangguang even came out to express its position, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, just say it directly. You're just taking some crooked ways and you can't be on the stage..."

Yang Zai swallowed his anger:

"A large number of fans are anxiously waiting for the release of "Legend of White Snake". In order to meet everyone's requests, we specially discussed with Mr. Yu of Bona to release it 6 hours in advance, and the theaters agreed."

"We dare to spend 240 million to make "Legend of White Snake" just to be worthy of the ticket money in the hands of the audience. If they are happy to watch it, it will be my greatest success..."

Lin Nan is already a little impatient and wants to see the head-on confrontation between the two movies.

Wang Changtian is cunning and has not made any moves until now. It is obvious that he is holding back a big move.
