Chapter 868 Really Profitable! Operation Mekong, Location Scouting Completed

On the morning of the 10th, the newlyweds hadn't gotten up yet, but the Internet was full of entertainment information about their wedding yesterday. It was like the whole Internet was enjoying the news together.

"Yesterday evening, Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei held a high-profile Chinese-style wedding in the city hall. The banquet was for two hundred people and there were thousands of guests. They were of high status."

"According to professional estimates, Liu Yifei is dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, plus bracelets, earrings, walking sticks, phoenix hairpins and other top jewelry, with a total value of over 100 million, extremely low-key luxury."

"According to relevant sources, the wedding of Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei cost more than 160 million;

Among the wedding thank-you gifts, they are all gold coins with a net weight of 15 grams, hollow carvings with the word "囍", and micro-engravings of the names of the two people and the wedding date. They are held in mahogany gift boxes, and there are thousands of gold coins in return. "

"Because the wedding venue of Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei declined all media and kept it strictly confidential, the list of guests and their total value is unknown."

"Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johansson and many other Hollywood celebrities have boarded the plane this morning and set off to return..."

Near 11 noon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finally got up sleepily.

Miss Liu, with her rosy and tender face, is obviously more energetic than Director Lin. The mark on her slender neck has not yet spread and is clearly visible.

"Lin Nan, do we really not need to go to the airport to see her off?" Liu Yifei's whisper, as quiet as a mosquito, rang in Lin Nan's ears.

"No need, they will understand... Yue Jun will send it off."

Lin Nan couldn't put it down while caressing her smooth back, but it was really time to get up.

"Sissi, get up. You will be laughed at if you sleep until the first day of your wedding."

"It's not all your fault!"

As she spoke, Liu Yifei sat up in one fell swoop; her long, glossy black hair spread out and spread over her beautiful, creamy back, which was intoxicating.

"Still reading? Get up quickly and get dressed!"

This time it was Liu Yifei who "scolded" Lin Nan. She stretched out a hand and pulled Lin Nan's quilt.

"I...get up!"

Lin Nan sat up "with difficulty", feeling exhausted after a busy day at yesterday's wedding and another battle.

…

Outside the film and television industry, the wedding of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei is still a hotly discussed topic, and the popularity remains high online.

The big guys gathered together, the stars were bright, the location was majestic, and the expenses were lavish... It made most people in the circle regret and envy because no one was invited.

At the same time, starting from today, the pressure is also on Huang Xiaoming; because his wedding is next month, exactly one month apart, which is not a long time.

The entire film and television industry will definitely compare and comment on this Chinese and Western wedding!

"The Golden Rooster Awards night is on the 19th. It has been confirmed that Director Lin Nan is firm and will not attend..."

China Film and Television's secretary told La Peikang the reply he got from Han Sanping.

On the latter's table was the invitation letter to the Golden Rooster Awards Gala that had just been sent; it was the second batch of specially invited leaders of various departments and units after being sent to the crews of the nominated films.

"What if there's a prize?"

La Peikang asked that there were some things that had to be prepared in advance to avoid embarrassment.

China Film Group is one of the major producers of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", and like Lin Nan Pictures, it has the highest share of 30%;

When the latter refused to attend the award ceremony, China Film Group was the party that was completely in charge, the largest producer and sole decision-maker of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"!

"The assistant director will take the stage."

"Guo Ban? No, beautiful girl!"

La Peikang paused for a moment, then nodded, "It's very appropriate. Are you ready with the words you want to respond to?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, if there's a prize."

"Then notify all the main creative actors and try to get as many of them as possible."

"Okay, La Dong."

…

After careful planning, Lao Lintou, who stayed in the capital for 20 days, finally proposed to his son the idea of ​​going home. He couldn't stay here any longer.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and going out for a walk and visiting scenic spots, there is really nothing else to do every day.

Lin Nan understood Old Lintou, he was a restless person, he missed his recliner, or to be precise, he missed his routine of life.

Watching the guests coming in and out of the hotel every day, supervising the chefs in the kitchen, chatting and joking with familiar customers or neighbors, paying attention to national events, international news, and even complaining about celebrities...

Lin Nan didn't know what he would be like when he got old, but he knew the old Lintou's character, hobbies and current living habits. I definitely can’t persuade you!

"So, when are you going to come back?"

After lunch, Lin Nan and Lao Lintou sat in the garden and talked; next door, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were entertaining Jiang Yuerou and listening to the "report."

"Tomorrow morning, I went to the airport specifically this morning to buy a ticket."

Old Lintou seemed to be afraid that Lin Nan would be angry with him for his own actions, so he smiled a little "cautiously", but this micro-expression made Lin Nan's nose feel a little sore.

One night passed, and the "strong" old Lintou disappeared. Is it because his son had successfully married?

"How about I help you buy a restaurant in the capital? Just like I did back home..."

"No need to worry, the place is different. Even if the decoration is exactly the same, it's still different."

Old Lin interrupted Lin Nan's whisper, and both of them understood each other's thoughts.

"Then, Xixi and I will take you tomorrow."

"Okay."

Not long after, Lin Nan arrived next door.

It was rare to see Jiang Xirou reporting to Liu Yifei for the first time, especially at home.

But who let Liu Yifei be the boss of Lin Nan Films?

And what Jiang Xirou came to report was the account of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's wedding. Yes, it was the "income and expenditure" of the wedding!

This kind of thing is not suitable to be discussed in the company, but it is most appropriate to say it at home.

"Lin Nan, come and sit down."

Liu Yifei happily patted the seat next to her and called Lin Nan.

"Director Lin." Jiang Xirou greeted with a smile.

On the table in front of the three people was a spread-out gift list, which was very delicately bound.

After Lin Nan called Liu Xiaoli "Mom", he sat next to Liu Yifei.

He glanced at the gift list and saw that there were ten names on the page that was opened, followed by short or long words and numbers.

"Did you finish the list so quickly?"

"Yes, I finished it this morning, and I wanted to bring it here quickly." Jiang Xingrou answered.

"Lin Nan, I didn't expect that holding a wedding would be so profitable! This is even when we refused to accept any sponsorship."

Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose and said in disbelief and surprise.

"It's quite a lot. But this is mainly because of Lin Nan and your status in the industry, and the status of the guests..." Liu Xiaoli smiled and corrected her daughter.

Hearing Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli say this, Lin Nan became even more curious.

He knew that yesterday's gift list would definitely not be light, but he really couldn't guess how much it was.

"Director Jiang, how much is it?"

Lin Nan looked at Jiang Xingrou, who immediately smiled.

"Director Lin, although only more than 800 invitations were sent out for your wedding with Yifei, there were more than 100 guests who actually showed up, all of whom were without invitations."

Lin Nan nodded. He and Liu Yifei had expected this.

"Except for guests from state-owned enterprises and institutions, the gifts from all other guests were in the six digits, starting from 100,000, because they were basically second-tier in the industry.

As for the guests from Hollywood, I heard from Director Yue that they seemed to have inquired about our domestic customs in advance, so they came prepared and gave gifts that were not light..."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei smiled at each other. What do you mean by inquiring about customs in advance? That must be Tom's nonsense!

"A small number of people, like Zhang Ziyi, did not show up, but the studio also sent people..."

"Just tell me how much the total is?"

"366.48 million, including some jewelry gifts that are difficult to calculate."

Hearing this number, Lin Nan exclaimed, Wow!

His wedding with Liu Yifei only cost 168 million yuan, and that's even including Miss Liu's outfit!

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, both of whom knew about it earlier than he did, and now they were all smiling.

"Xixi, you're right, weddings are really profitable! It's so easy to make money from gifts!"

Lin Nan raised an eyebrow at Liu Yifei, this number is a bit scary! Do you have to pay taxes?

"You both have to pay it back!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled speechlessly and then put away the gift list.

"But I still feel very emotional. When people donate money normally, they are not so united and generous."

Lin Nan joked and Liu Yifei nodded like pounding garlic.

…………

Without the support of "policy", "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" is like a "shameless old man" swimming naked after the tide recedes and a "beauty" who has taken off her makeup, which can be seen clearly.

From August 28 to September 3, it earned 400 million yuan in seven days; but from the 4th to the 10th, it only earned 9 million yuan in the second week! The total box office was 409 million yuan, and it was "successfully" closed!

Without this movie, the film market suddenly seemed full of vitality. But unfortunately, several good movies were "delayed".

"The Sun Also Rises" stopped at 300 million yuan and was unfortunately withdrawn; "Terminator: Genisys" was killed at 722 million yuan and was also closed.

There was a gap in the mainland film market, and there were no Chinese-language films that could carry the box office... Then, all domestic films were suppressed by "Mission Impossible 5: Rogue Nation".

It was released on the 8th and earned 250 million yuan in three days. It was like bullying, which made a number of domestic films and production companies despair.

And "Hong Kong囧" and "Charlotte's Troubles", which Lin Nan Pictures participated in producing, also began the last round of publicity sprint before the release, as well as preparations for the premiere.

"Guangguang and Happy Twist have sent us the schedule, one is on the 22nd and the other is on the 27th."

After taking more than 20 days of wedding leave, Lin Nan just returned to the company and was greeted by invitations to two movie premieres.

"Let's talk about it later. The most important thing now is "Operation Mekong". How is the location scouting going?"

"The team has returned and the location scouting is completed. Jindun has communicated with several relevant departments and will provide convenience and support for the filming.

The filming locations include the capital, Bangkok, Yunnan, and the Golden Triangle. The latter is only about 200 kilometers away from our country's border. When filming across the border, the relevant departments will cooperate and follow."

Listening to Yue Jun's report, Lin Nan nodded.

The Golden Triangle is the junction of three countries. Many places have now become tourist attractions, and the development is quite good; the reason is that it was led by the country and cleaned up again and again.
