Chapter 462 November, Golden Horse
People were cursing the new version of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" online, Lin Nan took a curious look.
Good man, it was indeed thunderous, almost blinding his eyes.
South Korea's Duan Yu was unruly, like a greasy upstart, and a little effeminate, while Wang Yuyan looked like a country girl.
Compared with the two, their temperaments were even a little androgynous.
In just half a day, the first two versions of Wang Yuyan were pushed to the headlines of entertainment news by a large number of netizens.
The messages and comments were all nostalgic and reminiscent.
A large number of viewers were complaining and cursing the current Jin Yong dramas, saying that the more they were remade, the worse they were.
Not only was the casting of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" a mess, but the adaptation of "Swordsman" was even more outrageous, with Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai having an affair!
Lin Nan browsed Liu Yifei's stills online for a long time. At that time, Miss Liu still had some baby fat, giving people a soft and sticky feeling, but don't be fooled by her appearance, just like Lin Nan...
"Director Lin, is the premiere of "Lost in Thailand" still going to be held now?"
Yue Jun knocked on the door and walked in. The dispute over the revenue sharing has ended, and these things can be considered.
"Then do it, put it on the 29th. Let's have fun together."
Lin Nan said meaningfully.
This time is also the day when "1942" and "The Feast of the King" are officially released.
"Okay."
"In addition, you can arrange personnel to go to the Golden Horse Awards in advance."
…………
November can be said to have made "Cold War" full and satisfied.
This movie has all the right time, right place, and right people.
After half a month of release, there is no competitor, the screening rate has remained at around 35%, and the box office has exceeded 200 million!
Tai Chi 2 was beaten and was taken off the screen with a box office of 79.2 million. New Mom Love Me Again barely climbed to 20 million and is still struggling.
Cold War has been the highest box office record of Hong Kong police and gangster films in the mainland so far.
It was not until the official release of Life of Pi today that the number of screenings and the number of viewers of Cold War were curbed.
Lin Nan packed up the script on the table and prepared to leave the company.
Liu Yifei's phone call was urging her to have lunch. Lin Nan had to go to Life of Pi with her in the afternoon, and Shu Chang, the light bulb.
Huang Xiaoming suddenly made the headlines, but it was not good news.
Two days ago, Yang Ying and Li Fei'er had a fight on the Internet, which caused a lot of uproar.
Misfortunes never come alone. He also had an accident on the crew today.
During the filming, the wire broke and he fell down. Two toes were comminuted fractures. It was a bit unlucky.
Now, it is estimated that the crew of Bona's White Haired Witch will have to stop working for a while.
…
When Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang left the theater, there was still a long queue outside.
As expected, the reputation of this movie is going to explode, it's really good. Especially on the IMAX3D giant screen, the three-dimensional effect is very obvious.
"Today's box office may be mediocre, but it is expected that from tomorrow, the daily box office of "Life of Pi" will soar."
Lin Nan couldn't help but comment.
The Lunar New Year period is a place of four battles, very cruel, and it is difficult for poor quality movies to survive.
Under the siphon effect of the top movies, there will be no room for junk movies to survive.
"By the way, let's start packing tomorrow."
Lin Nan drove the car and said to the two girls behind him.
"Are you ready to go?"
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang asked back immediately, looking a little excited.
"Yes. After returning later, call Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin to inform them that we can arrive on the opening day, not in advance."
Originally, Lin Nan thought that it would be enough to arrive one or two days before the closing ceremony.
But he thought about it carefully and changed his mind. After all, he had eight nominations. If he looked down on it, the media would write nonsense again.
…
People get cocky when they have achievements.
"Lost in Thailand" is about to be released, and Xu Zheng has a gossip.
According to the media, he stayed in the hotel with a female college student from the Central Academy of Drama for seven or eight hours.
Many media also came to Lin Nan Film's Weibo to ask if this was hyping the movie?
"Let him be quiet, the company's movies don't need this kind of attention."
Lin Nan said to Yue Jun.
What a mess every day, Xu Zheng explained on Weibo that the girl was his student and he had tutored her in acting before, so there was nothing messy.
"Director Lin, maybe it's not hype, hehe..."
Yue Jun smiled maliciously.
"I didn't say it was hype."
Lin Nan looked up at Yue Jun and complained unhappily:
"One is a senior actor and a new commercial film director, and the other is a female college student at the Central Academy of Drama.
What is the matter that requires seven or eight hours of discussion? Is it movie casting? Or tutoring homework?"
There are too many such things in the circle. After so many years, Lin Nan is a little bit used to it. Isn't there a Jiang Yiyan among the classmates?
"Okay, I'll remind him later to keep a low profile."
Yue Jun's tone was playful and teasing.
Lin Nan nodded and said nothing more.
He was thinking about the invitation letter sent by Huayi at this moment. The time of the press conference was really well chosen. If it was a few days later, Lin Nan would be at the Golden Horse Awards.
After 4 years, Zhou Xingchi brought another movie, which was still based on "Journey to the West".
This movie press conference made the whole film industry look at it.
You must know that after more than ten years of development, the reputation of "Westward Journey" has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even Liu Zhenwei took advantage of this and made a fuss several times. Not to mention that with Zhou Xingchi taking up this subject, the attention will only be higher!
Shaking his head, Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun:
"Forget it, I won't go to Hua Yi's invitation. You and Director Jiang can go to either one."
"You have been specially invited over there. I hope Director Lin can be there."
"Not interested. Firstly, I have nothing to do with Zhou Xingchi. Secondly, several big companies probably won't go to Huayi's event. After all, he just backstabbed a teammate two days ago and became a gangster."
As he spoke, Lin Nan thought of Han Sanping.
The nickname "Mountain Eagle" was not for nothing. His subordinates openly rebelled. It is estimated that the person in charge of the Shinkansen will have to be transferred.
Are they all for collective work? Where is the difference? Change positions, it’s still work, don’t delay and continue to shine!
…………
Over here in China, the crews began to prepare to leave.
Many celebrities who are keen on red carpets or invited guests are also posting about going to the Golden Horse.
"New Police Story 2013 will hold a launch ceremony in the capital today."
"Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, Liu Ye and other main creative staff were interviewed, and the three major producers were all present."
"Leaders of relevant departments expressed their support on the spot..."
…
Lin Nan went to attend the opening ceremony of "New Police Story 2013". After all, he invested 30 million.
This was also the first time he met all the actors, and there were many old faces on the screen.
"Maybe it's because I'm an action film actor, so I have a fondness for similar actors, especially young action actors."
As Jackie Chan spoke, he introduced the person next to him to Lin Nan, "Wu Yue, like Li Lianjie and Zhao Wenzhuo, is a Wuying-level athlete."
"Hello, Director Lin, my name is Wu Yue, and I hope to have the opportunity to participate in your company's movies in the future."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "You and Changchang have performed "Liancheng Jue", I know."
Opposite Wu Yue was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Lin Nan would be impressed by last year's "Journey to the West". After all, he played Monkey King and was quite popular.
But it turned out that what Lin Nan mentioned was "The Secret of Liancheng". Thinking of Shu Chang's relationship with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, he understood.
"Yes, I worked with Shu Chang in that drama. We are already ten years younger. She is developing better than me now. I am ashamed..."
"There are fewer and fewer action movie actors who can act now. Director Lin can give them a chance in the future." Jackie Chan interjected at the right time.
Lin Nan looked at the two people in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Of course, no problem, if there is a chance in the future."
"Thank you, Director Lin. This is my contact information..."
Lin Nan took a business card and said nothing more.
"I will also go to this year's Golden Horse Awards Ceremony as a guest. Director Lin, let's meet there then."
Jackie Chan's words were a bit sudden, so wasn't the opening ceremony a bit too early? Just two days after filming started, the lead actor went to attend the Golden Horse Awards, leaving the crew alone?
But thinking that Jackie Chan had reduced his salary so much, Lin Nan understood that this was nothing.
…………
"She was recruited by the Hong Kong team. If Director Lin has any objections, will she be replaced?"
Ye Ning stood in front of Lin Nan, looking at Naza in the distance and said.
He knew that this girl had rejected Yue Jun and chose to sign with the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Nan shook his head, chuckled and asked, "Mr. Ye, am I the kind of person who would make things difficult for a little girl?"
"Of course not. Director Lin is a top director, why would he care about a little girl? It's all trivial things." Ye Ning joked with a smile.
…………
News of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has spread, and it is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.
Wang Zhonglei has more confidence in this movie than Zhou Xingchi himself.
At the press conference, Wang Zhonglei even shouted out the bold words of knocking "The Genius" from the top spot on the Chinese-language film box office list.
This sounds exciting, but it is not the thing that most people in the industry care about.
What interests everyone the most is that Hua Yi revealed that he is discussing a bet with Zhou Xingchi. The general direction is that the higher the box office, the more Zhou Xingchi will get.
Huayi is the largest investor in this movie and can indeed make the decision.
Everyone is also curious, what kind of gambling method will it be?
I don’t know since when, a law has appeared in the film and television industry!
That is, as long as there is a movie with the theme of "Journey to the West", Teacher Six will be indispensable.
"The words 'I love you for ten thousand years' and 'Ten thousand years are too long, seize the day'. These are all blasphemies and defilements to the great masterpiece "Journey to the West"!"
"Adaptations cannot be made indiscriminately. This kind of trashing of famous works must stop immediately. The film company must apologize to the national audience..."
"Strong protest! Theaters must not show this kind of crappy movie..."
…
For Teacher Six who was jumping up and down, there were always very few people in the circle who cared about him, and it was no different this time.
However, the Internet is very lively, divided into two camps.
"Supporting Teacher Six is a waste of classics. Either Sun Wukong is in love, or Tang Monk is in love...teaching children bad things."
"It's right to make a movie about Journey to the West. The only fault is that Hua Yi and Zhou Xingchi didn't pay the rights fee to Teacher Six! Hahaha..."
"He is everywhere, as if he wrote "Journey to the West"!"
"If this continues, I will not be able to protect my future!"
"Do you know whose photo is hanging in Wu Chengen's former residence?"
"Teacher Six has the final right to interpret "Journey to the West"!"
…………
In a blink of an eye, it was time to set off.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang are both two big boxes. Inside are their daily necessities. Actresses are so troublesome.
Only Lin Nan was a box, but half of it was Miss Liu's things.
Several assistants have been here since the morning and have been waiting.
Who told the two girls to sleep in? Fortunately, the flight was after 11 o'clock.
The suitcases were neatly put into the trunk one by one, and everyone was ready to set off.
"Mom, we are leaving."
"Well, I hope the five of you will gain something. Lin Nan, take good care of them both."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and warned in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, Auntie."
Lin Nan and the other two waved to Liu Xiaoli and got into the second car, followed by the assistants in the first one.
It wasn't until the two cars completely disappeared from sight that Liu Xiaoli turned around and walked into the villa.
…
capital Airport.
Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin came early and were chewing gum outside, waiting for someone. Next to them are their respective assistants.
Many people noticed the two of them as they came and went, and some even wanted to come over to get autographs and take photos.
Reporters who have been staying here all year round also came over to chat.
The two of them did not refuse anyone who came. Because Lin Nan once warned that you should be friendly to serious reporters.
It may not do any good, but it certainly won't do any harm.
"I also have a girlfriend, but I'm not as boring as him..."
Luo Jin was beside him, smiling helplessly, with the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time.
He somewhat admired Zhu Yawen. If he teased Lin Nan like this in front of reporters, he wouldn't be "banned", right?
"That's not in a hurry, not in a hurry." Luo Jin corrected.
"Okay, okay, Lao Luo is right, take it easy..."
Zhu Yawen smiled and changed her story because she saw Lin Nan and others getting off the two cars.
A group of reporters immediately surrounded him.
"Director Lin, Yi Fei, are you confident about this trip to the Golden Horse?"
"It's up to people to make plans." Lin Nan replied with a smile.
"Where's Yifei? You didn't win the award at Cannes last time. The fans feel sorry for you."
"Thank you, I will try my best this time."
"Shu Chang, when you go back to Jinma..."
…
Several people gathered together and walked in faster.
Because many pedestrians gathered here, wanting to take photos and sign autographs, it would have a bad impact if they were blocked here.
"I'm reporting that Lao Zhu just said bad things in front of the media. Well, you guys are getting more and more annoying now."
"Let me go and you've become a teenager too?"
"Stop it, I have always stood with Director Lin and Producer Liu."
Lin Nan watched the two people bickering and just thought it was a joke. He would never admit that it was Liu Yifei and Shu Chang who slept in late.
On the contrary, Miss Liu and Shu Chang snorted at Zhu Yawen and stopped talking, expressing that they were angry.
"It's a coincidence that we can see the crew of "Mystery in the Floating City" in the departure hall."
Luo Jin's sharp eyes suddenly saw Lou Ye and the four of them, who had just entered.
Zhu Yawen smiled helplessly and walked over first. Lin Nan and others could ignore it, but he couldn't.
He also played a supporting role in "The Mystery of the Floating City" and I had to go over and say hello.
"Let's go, we still have this etiquette." Lin Nan said softly.
…………
"Director Lou."
"Director Lin, Yifei."
"Hello, Director Lin, I am Hao Lei."
"Director Lin, I am Qin Hao."
…
Lin Nan shook hands with Qin Hao and Hao Lei, both of whom are good actors.
Especially Qin Hao, who is classmates with Chen Minghao, Zeng Li, and Mei Ting.
After the two crew members said hello, they separated. They are not familiar with each other, and they are also rivals.
…
The group boarded the plane and flew to Jinma.
The media is very efficient and the news has appeared online.
"The crew of "The Genius Gunfighter" will go to the Golden Horse today."
"Director Lin said bluntly, it's up to people to make plans. Liu Yifei, cheer for herself..."
"Zhu Yawen complained about the director and producer, saying it was too hard to go out... After many years of graduation, the friendship between classmates remains the same."
"The crew of "The Mystery of the Floating City" is heading to the Golden Horse."
…
Many people in the mainland have noticed the news and have their own thoughts.
"If it weren't for the chance to compete for the Olympics, "1942" would not have given up the opportunity to sign up for the Golden Horse. As a result..."
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaogang became angry.
In his opinion, Chen Kaige's "Search" is far inferior to his "1942".
In the final analysis, it is still a question of family background. Zhang Yimou gained international influence based on his strength, Feng Xiaogang is convinced!
But what about Chen Kaige?
After "Farewell My Concubine", after so many years, what works are you able to produce?
But unfortunately, he was able to get the quota for the Olympics several times, which is very funny!
…
"Director Lin, Yifei, please give me some help and pack the awards back..."
Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Jing Tian, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun... Ning Hao and many other people in the circle sent their blessings.
…
The weather is nice and there is a blue sky outside the window.
A three-hour flight is not a long time.
Lin Nan and others had no intention of taking a rest. Instead, they chatted in the first-class cabin or admired the scenery outside the window.
"Luo Jin, how is the filming of your movie "Time Traveler" going? It's been almost a month, right?" Zhu Yawen asked curiously.
"Not bad, first love, true love, good luck with women, and reversing time again and again." Luo Jin said self-deprecatingly.
"Then you can try your best. Maybe there will be a suitable actor for you among the actors you work with." Lin Nan joked.
Speaking of this topic, several people were instantly excited.
"Forget it, except for Reba who plays my sister in your company, the others are either married or have a partner."
"For those who have a partner, the man may not be a good match. Believe in your own charm. I think Tang Yan is a good match for you. Didn't they have a scandal before?"
Zhu Yawen changed the subject and set the tone.
This surprised Lin Nan, who gave a thumbs up and joked with a smile: "Old Zhu has such a mouth. If something happens in the future... I have to give him a big red envelope."
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang also covered their mouths and laughed non-stop. The old man acted as a matchmaker!
…
Three hours passed quickly, and the plane landed in Taiwan.
A group of ten people, including an assistant, walked out of the airport with their suitcases.
This was Lin Nan's second time here. The first time was 9 years ago, when he won two trophies here.
"Director Lin."
Following the call, Lin Nan saw the people from the company who came in advance, eight strong men.
At the same time, many media have already pointed their cameras at him.
"Leave the suitcases to them." Lin Nan ordered.
"Now I feel very safe."
Looking at the eight people next to him, Zhu Yawen joked.
This should be Lin Nan's first time to have a big show. Six of the latest Mercedes-Benz cars were parked outside the airport. A group of people got in the car and headed straight to Yilan County, Taiwan.
Some Taiwanese media around the airport have not yet reacted, a little slow.
"Is it that mainland Golden Lion director?"
"You are ignorant. Who else could it be besides Director Lin? If you don't know Director Lin, don't you know Liu Yifei?"
A reporter from Sina next to him complained about his colleagues here.
"Yes, the woman that the young director held hands with just now is Liu Yifei!"
Unlike Lin Nan who is a behind-the-scenes staff of the movie, Liu Yifei's TV series still has some influence here, not to mention those movies.
In less than half an hour, the news here came out.
"Golden Lion director Lin Nan, with the four leading actors of the "Bad Genius" crew, arrived at the Golden Horse today."
"The "Bad Genius" crew has a luxurious lineup, all of them are first-line or even super-first-line."
...
In the first car, there are Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and their own employees acting as drivers.
"The phone is ringing, and the news is quite well-informed."
Lin Nan looked at the phone and joked.
"Hurry up and answer it." Liu Yifei urged.
"Brother Wow, I just landed for half an hour and you called me, haha..."
"There are many reporters at the airport. No one can escape their cameras. Let's have a meal when we arrive.
According to the rules, I can't see you after the opening ceremony. I have to wait until the afternoon of the closing ceremony."
"No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan made another call under the gaze of Liu Yifei and others.
"Sister Wenli, it's me..."
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan hung up the phone again.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang both looked at him, and Lin Nan smiled and said, "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"
"No, I'm calling to talk to Teacher Jiang Wenli about "Hidden in the Dust", which has been almost 8 years?"
"It's just right to talk about this, otherwise, should we talk about "Bad Genius"? " Lin Nan asked with a chuckle.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what we talk about. The most important thing is that this call was made, she answered, and we talked for more than ten minutes."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said seriously.
None of the movies that made it to the end were weak, but there was only one award, and the result of the competition was decided by a hair's breadth.
Lin Nan didn't expect help from others, but at least he didn't want to be played dirty.
Some things didn't need Liu Yifei to understand, Lin Nan just needed to understand, and she could be her actor and producer happily.
The two girls nodded, not quite understanding, and didn't say anything else.
The car arrived at Yilan County, and a large number of promotional posters and banners could already be seen.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others got off the car and met Li An and Liu Dehua. There were also many Chinese filmmakers and media reporters on the side.
"Welcome Director Lin and Yifei, you've come to the Golden Horse Awards, and you've worked hard all the way."
Many filmmakers and reporters suddenly realized it at this time.
The person who could be personally greeted by Li An and Liu Dehua was indeed not an ordinary person.
He was the youngest Golden Lion director in the mainland and a big shot in the film and television industry.
"Director Li, Brother Hua."
"Director Li, Brother Hua."
Lin Nan greeted Liu Yifei. Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen and others followed behind, greeting.
"Let's go, I said I'd treat Director Lin to coffee at the Golden Horse Awards, so let's have a welcoming dinner first." Li An joked.
"Then we won't be polite, Director Li's "Life of Pi" has a huge box office, haha..."
Laughing, Lin Nan took Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and others into the hotel together.
…………
Eight nominations, I haven't decided on the specific awards yet, do you have any suggestions?
