Chapter 665: Be Prepared to Be on Call
At just after ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were already sitting in the IMAX 3D giant screen theater.
The unique 3D special effects of DreamWorks, with the blessing of the IMAX giant screen, shocked all the audience.
So much so that Liu Yifei, who had a single ponytail, bright eyes and white teeth, and a plain face, was rarely stared at by too many people.
Miss Liu, dressed like a girl next door, came out to watch a movie with Lin Nan, her boyfriend and fiancé, today, focusing on a casual and natural beauty.
And Lin Nan was holding a snack bucket for the beautiful woman around him, like a follower!
"You, you want to eat snacks, and you don't want to take them yourself..."
Lin Nan laughed softly and complained. Before he finished speaking, she had already stuffed popcorn into his mouth with her slender fingers.
"Why, Director Lin is impatient with me now? I'm thinking, I'm still a long way from being a shrew?"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes fiercely, her voice was very low and a little weird, and she looked like a proud and coquettish person who'd better rephrase it.
"What nonsense are you talking about, my Princess Sissi. I can't live without you in this life.
And in my heart, you are the best looking in the whole circle, no one else..."
Biting his ear, Lin Nan began to express his loyalty, which was a bit corny.
"Oh, please keep your voice down."
Liu Yifei looked around subconsciously, then pushed Lin Nan, but a bright smile had already appeared on her face.
It was only a few days before the engagement, and then the formal marriage and wedding.
The throbbing in the hearts of the two became more and more obvious.
Nervous, excited, expectant, eager...all kinds of emotions intertwined, it was indescribable excitement and happiness.
While most of the audience was waiting for the movie's Easter egg, Lin Nan had already held Liu Yifei's hand, bent over, and chose to leave early.
The two of them seemed to be recognized.
As for why they were recognized? It's definitely not Lin Nan's fault. It's all because Liu Yifei is so beautiful, has a prominent temperament, and is so recognizable!
"That girl just now, is it Liu Yifei?"
"Oh my god. So it's really her! Then the other one is Director Lin Nan?"
"I seemed to have accidentally heard that the man, Director Lin, said something about 'Princess Sissi'?"
"Oh my god, so loving! I missed the opportunity to take a photo with them. I was also next to them, crying..."
Soon, many posts appeared on Weibo, and the number of clicks soared.
"I met Liu Yifei and Director Lin Nan at Wanda Cinema by chance. I only took a photo of their backs, but it was still beautiful... It's uncomfortable!"
"Remember: Director Lin privately calls Liu Yifei 'Princess Sissi'!"
...
Lin Nan felt that he might be socially dead. Well, he admitted that he was indeed socially dead.
Many acquaintances sent messages to tease him, and the core word was: "Princess Sissi"!
And the term "Princess Sissi" was quickly pushed to the hot search, but not the hot search headline.
Because the entertainment news headlines of major media this morning were all "rumors" that were not officially confirmed.
Lin Nan also learned about it when he received a call from Wang Changtian while accompanying Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli for lunch.
"Lin Nan, if this is true, our three families will be included in the credit book."
This morning, a netizen posted a post saying that Taiwan's popular young actor Ke Zhendong followed in the footsteps of Gao Hu and Zhang Mo and was arrested in the capital.
The netizen said frankly that his father and his colleagues interrogated him all night and it ended at more than five in the morning. Now they are just waiting for the official announcement.
There is already a big quarrel on the Internet.
Unlike the previous few, Ke Zhendong became popular through the movie "Those Years We Chased the Girl Together" and released three consecutive "Tiny Times" movies. In the past three years, he has accumulated a huge fan base, and most of them are crazy fans.
In the morning, these fans swept Weibo and other portals like locusts.
They posted photos and evidence to prove that their "male god" was not in the capital recently, and was running around for notices and traveling...
Even these people started to "human flesh" and "cyberbully" the netizen who posted the "rumor", claiming that they wanted to make him die!
"Haha. It's understandable that there is no official news, but the agency also has no news?" Lin Nan said jokingly.
"Hahaha, it's really interesting to talk about. Just now, Sina contacted the agent to verify the authenticity of the news. Do you know what they said?"
"What did they say?" Lin Nan was a little interested.
"The agent said that they are also looking for Ke Zhendong, who is currently out of contact, so the company team cannot respond to media questions for the time being."
"I am dying of laughter, haha... Is this stupid? Or is it clever to cover up the truth?"
Lin Nan laughed unscrupulously in the garden, making Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, who were eating in the house, a little puzzled. What happened?
Wang Changtian also laughed:
"Yes, the agent hangs up the phone and refuses to answer. But what is the difference between this redundant explanation and half-admitted?"
After chatting for another seven or eight minutes, Wang Changtian didn't react until Lin Nan took the initiative to say that he had only eaten half of his lunch. He smiled and apologized repeatedly.
When hanging up the phone, Lin Nan couldn't help but predict: "Director Wang, we will probably have to hold another meeting in the second half of the month."
"Huh? The higher-ups should notify you. I guess this time, it won't be as simple as holding a conference..."
In fact, the entire film and television industry already believed 90% of that "grapevine".
Because if this kind of thing is false, the person involved will definitely stand up and clarify it as soon as possible! Where is there any mention of lost contact?
But when I think about it carefully, it’s not wrong to say that I lost contact.
If a person is suddenly locked up in a bureau, won't anyone outside be able to find him? If it’s not lost contact, what is it?
When Lin Nan sat back at the dinner table again, Liu Yifei already knew what he was talking about when he just answered the phone.
After finishing her meal, she was originally going to reply to a Weibo message, so she naturally saw the trending headlines.
The Internet is already the realm of Chu, He and Han, with horses and chariots clearly distinguishable.
Half of the netizens believe that he is another drug addict who has fallen for himself; while the other half firmly believe that Ke Zhendong is innocent. The two sides just started having sex online!
"Chang Chang also said, it's a pity that Zhang Mo has very good acting skills." Liu Yifei was chatting with Shu Chang and said smoothly.
Lin Nan also remembered that Shu Chang and Zhang Mo had actually collaborated in the movie "Young Imperial Envoy" ten years ago, in which the latter played the role of Fengshen Yinde.
The film and television industry is so evil. Many children of veteran actors have no acting skills even after graduating from professional colleges.
But Zhang Mo is different. Even though he was expelled in the first semester of his sophomore year, his acting skills are top-notch among the second generation stars.
…………
The summer vacation has entered the last half month, which is also the most tragic stage.
On the 15th alone, 8 new movies were released simultaneously.
This includes Lin Nan's advertisement for "The Legend of Swordsman" from Western Film, as well as three imported films: "The Last Days of Pompeii", "Tom Yum Goong 2", and "The King of the Jungle"!
And a week later, there will be ten movies including "The Finale", "War for the Planet of the Apes" and "A Bug".
The film market is destined to become a meat grinder, and more than half of the films will inevitably become cannon fodder.
Lin Nan met Yue Jun in the company who had rushed back from the crew. The latter looked a bit dusty.
"The price they gave me was reduced by 10% from the previous price. It is now 90 million."
A few months ago, Shiyue Culture's quotation was just over 100 million, but at that time both Lin Nan and Yue Jun felt that they were not worth the price.
Except for a group of employees with ideals and some skills, there is nothing else. The equipment is old and backward, and there are no ready-made works...
"Ninety million?" Lin Nan asked.
Yue Jun shook his head: "I think it's still high. The company team's market valuation for them is at most 80 million.
This is because the domestic animation film market has a very low development level and is a blue ocean. "
Lin Nan thought for a moment and nodded, "Eighty million is suitable. You can promise to increase the salary of ordinary employees, and the basics will be the same as Tiangong Color."
The basic salary can be the same, but when it comes to bonus incentives, Shiyue Culture is definitely not as good as Tiangong Color.
After all, Tiangong Color’s industry status, importance and earning power cannot be compared with the former.
But there is also an advantage of animated movies, that is, once they are done well, the copyright can be sold all over the world, just like the original "Havoc in Heaven" by Modu Art Film Studio! This is also the main reason why Lin Nan wants to acquire Shiyue Culture.
…
Two days have passed, and the Internet is in chaos and still noisy.
The media is jumping up and down, analyzing and looking for clues, but the official still has not made a statement.
In addition, the film and television industry is also silent, and there is a tense atmosphere as if a storm is about to come.
A large number of film and television companies have already started preparing for their trip to Venice more than ten days in advance. Most of them are going to sell and buy movies.
As for the film and television stars, they have to wait another ten days and rush there before the opening ceremony, either for the red carpet or brand activities.
On the afternoon of the 15th.
"If the reputation of other movies is seriously polarized, then I will definitely think that there is something wrong with the movie. But this is not the case with "The Legend of Jianghu"."
Liu Yifei told Lin Nan that "The Legend of Swordsman" he helped recommend not only had a screening rate of only 7%, but also had a severely polarized reputation.
People who like it think it is a good movie that is infinitely close to reality and is ironic to the extreme.
Those who don’t like it think the movie is too vulgar and awkward. Most of these audiences are young people, and they may not have enough life experience.
"Here's the phone, it's Dong."
Liu Yifei held the cat in one hand, picked up the phone from the table, and handed it to Lin Nan, who was sending emails on his tablet.
"It's definitely not good if you call me at five or six in the afternoon." Lin Nan complained.
"La Dong?"
"Don't run around recently and be ready to be called upon."
Listening to the voice coming from the mobile phone, Liu Yifei sat up straight and was curious why La Peikang said that?
"What happened, La Dong?"
Lin Nan had a vague guess that it might be related to drugs.
"Before the end of the month, we have to hold another conference, and no one from the last conference should be missing."
"Is it caused by that Taiwanese actor?"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the public security system will issue a formal notice. This time, Jackie Chan is given preferential treatment. There was no immediate notification..."
Unlike Lin Nan's calmness, Liu Yifei was shocked. She had collaborated with Jackie Chan in "The King of Kung Fu".
"Brother Jackie Chan, have you been tricked by your son?" Liu Yifei asked softly.
