Chapter 735 The Chairman's Addiction

The film and television industry has unknowingly entered the era of capital "a hundred flowers blooming".

Yesterday, "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" was just rebroadcasted, and today, good news came from the listing application of Tangde Films, where Fan Bingbing's studio is located.

The CSRC has approved it and has been announced on the official website.

Countless fans and netizens immediately looked through the prospectus published online.

It was immediately calculated that the approximate value of the shares held by Fan Bingbing, the tenth largest shareholder, after the company was officially listed, has increased by a hundred times!

The bold statement of "I don't need to marry into a wealthy family because I am a wealthy family" that year, following yesterday's two Weibo posts, once again landed on the hot search.

"I have to say that she is really inspiring along the way! This is another step forward on the road of capital."

"But capital also has big and small. After all, she is just an actor. No matter how inspiring she is, she can't become a big capital, right?"

Wang Changtian leaned back in his boss chair and chuckled and retorted.

Lin Nan paused and nodded. What Lao Wang said was right.

The capital of actors is ultimately limited.

Although they can make a lot of money and seem to have a lot of connections, these are all empty, like castles in the air.

Because they cannot create the most core resources, of course they have no say. The money in their hands is the least valuable thing in the circle!

"Give me a definite answer, season 2?"

After rambling for so long, Wang Changtian finally "showed his true colors" and looked at Lin Nan with a smile.

"I still say the same thing, let's wait until the end of next month to see the market feedback."

"Haha, with the current popularity, why do we need to wait until the end of February?

You don't know how many advertisers are watching us, and how many viewers are looking forward to the second season to be broadcast after the first season, there are countless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Changtian's eyes narrowed suddenly:

"Tsk tsk, waiting for the price, raising the price, and asking for it... Your appetite is big!"

Lin Nan smiled and spread his hands, "Isn't this as it should be? In addition, Mr. Wang, there is a grammatical error in what you said just now?"

"What?"

"Advertisers and brands are not staring at 'us', but at me!"

"Fuck, you want to kill the donkey after it has done its job?"

"Mr. Wang, calm down. Didn't I say, wait until the end of February... I am dying of laughter..."

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing and said to Wang Changtian, who was a little irritable in a rare way.

"Also, consider the people in my company again." Old Wang panted and changed the subject.

"Liu Yan? Hasn't she been there for two episodes?"

"I'm talking about the permanent guests, Bao Bei'er."

"That won't work. The permanent guests are full of 7 people, and there will be no more, and no more changes."

Lin Nan left after staying in Guangguang for only an hour.

Even if Wang Changtian wanted to host a dinner, he didn't stay.

Our "number one brother" doesn't have the fate of a first-line star, nor does he have the talent and vision, so it's useless to promote him!

Towards noon, the news in the Hong Kong circle spread on the Internet.

Many people are "denouncing" the eldest brother, and even the streets are covered with big-character posters, all of which are the black materials of the eldest brother over the years. The method is really retro.

The reason is that the eldest brother posted a message to celebrate, "It has lasted for nearly three months... and finally ended with the victory of the righteous side..."

This stimulated some people, from illegitimate daughters to poor parenting, from harsh treatment of brothers to private life, one by one, wrote on the big-character posters.

The key is that many contents cannot be refuted, which makes people helpless!

Then, another group of Hong Kong celebrities came out to support and express their stance.

Even the artist surnamed Huang, who had obviously been crooked before, came out to fish in troubled waters and said that he had never been crooked! The degree of excitement and shamelessness was breathtaking.

…………

"Here, the invitation from Weibo, Weibo Night on the evening of the 15th."

As soon as she got home, Liu Yifei pointed to the invitation on the coffee table and said to Lin Nan.

Shu Chang smacked his lips beside her, "I looked at the list that was just posted online, all of them are popular actors, stars and artists."

"Just throw it away, our flight is on the 7th, whether we can come back before the 15th is another matter. Weibo Night is something you can go or not."

Lin Nan looked calm and indifferent, only fans would be enthusiastic about these activities and desperately support their idols.

"Director Lin is so domineering, and producer Liu is so domineering. They are indeed great directors and shareholders."

Shu Chang gave a thumbs up and flattered him, but Liu Yifei smiled and knocked his hand down, "You are the only one who talks too much."

"Xixi, you are the fiancée of a great director and shareholder. If you go, you must sit in the first row?

Be envied and jealous by the young actresses and female artists who receive awards and perform on the stage? Well, they shouldn't dare to hate!" Shu Chang teased his girlfriend.

Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing, and raised her head slightly. The curve of her jaw was very beautiful.

She glanced at Shu Chang with a little pride, "How can it be as vulgar as you say, hehe..."

"The casting of Guo Fan will be over soon, and you should be ready to join the group." Lin Nan interrupted the two people's play.

"Well, that's natural. I just don't know who the male lead who will play with me is?"

Hearing Shu Chang's words, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei smiled at each other, but didn't say anything, because they didn't know and hadn't asked recently.

The Lunar New Year movie is still going on.

During the New Year's Day, an animated movie "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" with an investment of only 10 million yuan performed quite well and can be called a dark horse.

This has given the industry a little expectation for animated movies that are not made for young children. This is indeed a blue ocean.

And "Journey to the West: Hero is Back" by Shiyue Culture, a subsidiary of Tiangong Color, has also been discussed by the film industry.

Because although this animated movie is still under review, the official Weibo of Shiyue Culture has emphasized that this is a very passionate movie. It targets viewers of all ages, not children.

The movies in the Spring Festival are all ready to go, and each one is more famous than the other.

"There is a Place Only We Know" directed by Xu Jinglei and starring Wu Yifan;

"The Great Wall" directed by Li Rengang and starring Jackie Chan;

"The Man from Macau 2" directed by Wang Jing, Chow Yun-fat, Cheung Ka-fai and Liu Jialing;

and "Wolf Totem" directed by the internationally renowned director Jean-Jacques Annaud and starring Feng Shaofeng.

These four movies can be said to be the most competitive blockbusters in the entire Spring Festival. The publicity war is also in full swing.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were not left behind by any film producer, and they received many invitations to the premiere.

It really doesn't matter whether you have time or mood to attend, I must be polite and not let you find fault.

…

It has been 10 years since Lin Nan won his first international film festival award, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in February 2005.

After so many years, someone finally asked him to be the chairman of the film festival jury.

But it's really a rip-off!

"So, you want to refuse?" Tong Gang asked in astonishment.

"Director Tong, please don't make that expression. It makes me look like I've committed murder."

"Why do you think I look surprised? No director would refuse such an assignment!"

"Someone in the company told me this morning that the bureau wants me to be the chairman of the jury of the 5th Capital International Film Festival. I was very happy when I heard that.

But my film plans have been completed and I don't have time. Especially this year, there are so many things to do that I can't make it."

Lin Nan looked at Tong Gang with a sincere expression of "I really didn't lie to you."

"Are you sure you're not making excuses to perfunctorily or shirk responsibility?"

"Sure, I've finished the script. I plan to start preparing the crew in March and finish filming before the first half of the year. I'll get married in the second half of the year and see if I want to make another movie."

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Tong Gang was speechless.

Lin Nan is the most suitable candidate in China, the youngest director, and the favorite for the Golden Globe, Berlin, and Oscars this time... He has enough gimmicks and influence, it's a pity.

"No time, no time... Then we can only find someone from abroad."

"How about I recommend Ning Hao to you? Forget it, he doesn't have any big awards.

Jiang Wen? I guess he may be in a bad mood recently and not in the mood to work... Well, then I'll just look for one in the bureau."

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable one, so Lin Nan had to give up.

He felt very sorry that he missed this time, and he didn't know when he would have the chance to be the chairman of the jury next time? Especially the film festivals outside, such as the three major European ones!

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Lin Nan was about to leave the Film Bureau. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Tong Gang again when he was about to leave the office.

"Director Tong?"

"I wish you success this time... Look ahead, you are still young..."

"Well, I got it."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the second half of Tong Gang's words for a while, Lin Nan still responded.

...

Time passed day by day, and the circle and the Internet became more and more lively.

Just because this year's Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television, which has attracted much attention in China, will be held in only 7 days.

All this is because Lin Nan's "Manchester by the Sea" was nominated for six Golden Globe Awards.

Among them, the two awards that are most valued by the government and the mainland film industry are the Best Picture and Best Director.

Because it has been too long since the last time a mainland Chinese filmmaker won the Golden Globe Award, as long as 22 years!

That is, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film that year - Chen Kaige!

"Yifei and I are on a flight the day after tomorrow morning. After attending the awards ceremony, we may not be able to come back immediately. If there is anything, you take care of it."

Lin Nan was flipping through the list of performers for the annual meeting and signing the budget sheet, while instructing Yue Jun.

"I was just about to tell you, Director Lin, Lei Jiayin's contract..."

"Didn't you discuss it a few months ago?"

Lin Nan was surprised. It should have been discussed a few months ago!

"I was too busy and forgot about it. If my secretary hadn't reminded me today, I wouldn't have remembered it. I thought we had talked about it, haha..."

"Two more months?"

"Yes, his contract expires in mid-March. I thought about talking to him these days, and he happened to be in the capital."

Lin Nan nodded, then smiled:

"Then I'll leave it to you. I guess he hasn't taken the initiative to remind the company, and he's waiting for the company to speak first, and he has no intention of leaving."

"That's for sure."

Yue Jun said very confidently.

Shanhai Media is recognized by the industry as the agency with the least lack of resources, and it doesn't have the messy things that other film and television companies and agencies have.

Even the outside world still has mixed opinions about Yang Mi's departure from Shanhai Media, although she is even more popular than before.

Suddenly, Lin Nan remembered something.

"Late next month, won't the Spring Festival special of "Running Man" be finished?

In the past few days, send someone to communicate with Deng Chao, six of his regular guests, and their agents or companies to talk about the second season contract. "

"Well, no problem. They are not stupid, so no one will be left behind."

Regarding this, Yue Jun still swears by it, because after more than ten episodes of the first season of "Running Man", it has become a phenomenal hit reality show variety show. There are many artists and agencies with green eyes in the circle. Stare.

…

Once a year, the most lively event in the film and television industry - the art exam, is about to start registration.

This entertainment circle with bright lights and endless temptations attracts countless young people to "fly into the flames".

Tens of thousands of candidates from all over the country often gather in the capital two or three months in advance to prepare for the art exam.

Either sign up for a high-cost short-term training class offered by teachers from the three major universities, or practice on your own, just to have a brilliant performance in the art exam.

As expected, Nortel has hung up Lin Nan's promotional posters and signboards, which really attracted the attention of countless art candidates.

But at the same time, Lin Nan himself was also very angry: "I still underestimated the shamelessness of these people."

Liu Yifei came downstairs wearing cotton slippers and holding a book.

She sat on the sofa and leaned against Lin Nan naturally. The faint fragrance filled the air, "Lin Nan, what's wrong? We'll leave tomorrow."

Lin Nan stroked Miss Liu's long hair and complained: "The college uses me as a sign to steal art candidates. That's no problem, it's a good thing.

But it turned out that the registration for the art exam hadn't started yet, and the number of people in the circle who went to the academy through the back door had more than doubled.

There are also many people who want to know which department I will work in and what courses I will take! Do you think these people are very smart? simply……"

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Yifei's forehead was already pressed against his shoulder and she trembled with laughter.

"It's so funny, you, how did you know? Hahaha..."

"Lao Jiang just called me, and many people came to his place to make innuendoes, and they were all school teachers!"

"This fully illustrates the status of our director Lin Da in the world. If you can't find connections outside, then start from the school. Teachers and students, maybe you can catch your eye and skyrocket?

Oops, I can’t stand it anymore, I laugh so much that my stomach hurts, hehehe..."

Liu Yifei was curled up on the sofa, laughing so hard that she didn't look uncomfortable.

"Shall I rub it for you?" Lin Nan said angrily and stretched out his hand.

"Yeah, don't, it's too cold..."
