Chapter 667 It Is Imperative

The filming of "Charlotte's Troubles" is already halfway through and is wrapping up.

When Lin Nan arrived at the crew in the morning, a group of staff were setting up the camera downstairs in a dormitory building in the 523 factory family compound, preparing to start filming in a while.

Yan Fei was explaining the play to Shen Teng: "Charlotte, who has achieved success and is dazzled by the prosperity, gradually wakes up and thinks of his vulgar wife in another world in his 'dream' and that home."

"In this world, Ma Dongmei, whom he disliked from the beginning, is the wife and love that he desires the most and is reluctant to part with!"

"Okay."

Shen Teng made the OK gesture, looking confident.

"Director Lin, drink some water."

Lin Nan sat under the parasol and took the mineral water handed over by Peng Damo, ready to watch the filming later.

"Did you arrange the media outside?"

"We just spread the word that Director Lin would come to visit today. Then the reporters came to the door by themselves. Haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded. He came to visit the set this time to promote the movie.

"All units, prepare...action!"

As Yan Fei's voice sounded, everyone looked at the monitor and the real scene.

Charlotte, played by Shen Teng, wore a black shirt with a feather on his chest.

He stood in front of the doorman who was basking in the sun, crouching like a dog: "Is Ma Dongmei's family living in No. 322 upstairs?"

This doorman is also an "acting school": "Ma Dong what?"

"Ma~Dong~Mei!"

The doorman held a cigarette and looked at Shen Teng, with a confused face: "What Dongmei?"

"Ma~Dong~Mei~Ah!"

"Ma what Mei?"

"Okay, uncle, you cool down first." Charlotte, played by Shen Teng, was speechless and gave up.

"Okay."

"Not bad..."

Shen Teng complained and walked away, and this shot went smoothly.

A few minutes later, when the camera was turned on again, people had already reached the corridor on the third floor.

After Shen Teng's Xia Luo used his experience in his "previous life" and his current state of mind in this life to reconcile a young couple, the heroine appeared.

A voice of "Who are you looking for?" startled Xia Luo, who was standing outside the window and preparing to peek at the couple's intimacy in the house.

The moment he turned around, Ma Dongmei, played by Ma Li, loosened her hands and the porcelain basin she was holding fell to the ground.

A basin of foot washing water was poured down from the third floor, soaking the doorman's whole body.

The latter immediately stood up, holding a cigarette in one hand and pointing to the sky with the other, and yelled at the third floor with curses: "Ma Dongmei!"

...

"The filming is very good."

After work at noon, Lin Nan and several main creators walked out while chatting and laughing.

A large number of media reporters, while capturing photos from a distance, were also shouting loudly:

"Director Lin, what do you think about the recent events?"

"Will Lin Nan Pictures implement the promised ban? Will they save face?"

Lin Nan stopped and shook his head gently. He knew he couldn't escape this question.

Yan Fei and others also stopped. The actors in the crew stared blankly at Lin Nan walking towards the group of reporters.

You won't really answer those questions, right? No one in the circle dares to express their opinions at this moment! Of course, Lin Nan is not an ordinary person.

"Everyone can pay more attention to this "Charlotte's Troubles" which is about to be completed. I can assure the media and the audience that this is really a very good comedy movie.

As for the questions everyone asked, the facts are there. There should be a press conference, and the relevant departments will also have an attitude.

Well, both should not take too long."

After speaking, Lin Nan returned to the team, got on the car, and went to the hotel. He was going to have a meal with the crew at noon.

I didn't pay much attention before, but Lin Nan realized at the dinner table that there are quite a few people from Northeast China in Happy Twist!

If we think about it more carefully, the actors in Northeast China are also a big mountain, including Lei Jiayin under his own company.

After lunch, he chatted with Shen Teng, Ma Li and others for more than half an hour.

Lin Nan did not stay for long, and rushed to the airport with his assistant to avoid delaying the crew's afternoon shooting.

The visit he promised was completed before the 20th. And on the way back to the capital, his news had already spread on the Internet.

"This morning, Director Lin Nan visited the crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" in Dalian and called it a rare comedy movie."

"Director Lin Nan hinted that the bureau may make relevant handling of bad artists in the near future."

"Public opinion continues to ferment... After being detained in the capital for a week, he will face another trial by the Taiwan Provincial Judicial Authority..."

...

After landing at the Capital Airport, Lin Nan saw an interesting news on the way back in the car.

The news of Tangren's new drama dominated the hot search headlines, suppressing all the hot search information and related topics about the stars involved in drugs below.

Cai Yinong was in charge, and Tangren was holding a press conference for its own big IP live-action drama "Qin's Moon" in the capital.

The leading actors also met the media and the public for the first time. However, there were complaints on the Internet.

"Lu Yi plays the sword master? His temperament is too different!"

"Lv Ziqiao, this scumbag, plays Wei Zhuang, which is too out of place. He won't go to pick up girls in the middle of the play, right?"

"Jin Chen has no figure, how can he play Chi Lian well!"

"Forcing Jiang Jinfu and Hu Bingqing to be promoted?"

"This casting is really rubbish!"

...

Not only did netizens question that Tangren would ruin the classics, but even the reporters at the press conference were unanimously pessimistic.

Lin Nan admired Cai Yinong very much. The latter was very good at "quibbling". She directly brought up Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Yang Mi and others as examples.

She said that the casting of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series was not optimistic and was complained by many people, but Tangren still made a classic!

Well, this reason really hit the media back, and it was impossible to refute it for a while.

"Huh? Teacher Cao is too absolute, right? It would be bad to be slapped in the face." Lin Nan saw the news updates of "The Sun Also Rises".

Yu Dong replied to the media very confidently that the movie would be released normally during the Lunar New Year holiday and would not be affected at all.

And Cao Baoping also vowed that he would not cut Gao Hu's scenes!

It was obviously a bit early to say this. It depends on whether the bureau agrees at the conference the day after tomorrow.

I believe that many companies in the film and television industry are now anxiously waiting for the meeting the day after tomorrow morning, and can't wait to know how the higher-ups will deal with it?

…

"The film will be released on the 22nd, and the premiere will be held on the 21st. Don't let me down, okay?"

Not long after returning home, Wang Changtian called.

He asked Lin Nan again if Zhao Liying could come back before the premiere of "The Four".

"Are you in such a hurry? Okay, she will be back on the 20th, and will go back to finish the filming after attending the premiere." Lin Nan replied with a sneer.

"How can I not care? After the release of this film, Chen Jiashang's contract with Guangguang will also end at the same time."

Wang Changtian's tone was a bit irritable, and it could be vaguely heard that there was still some "resentment".

"Didn't Director Chen agree to renew the contract?" Lin Nan had a guess instantly.

Because Guangguang lacked a big director, it would definitely communicate with Chen Jiashang about the renewal, but considering Wang's current mood, the result can be imagined.

"Well, even though I promised to double the signing fee, he still refused.

I heard that Yu Dong had contacted Chen Jiashang privately, but the reason he gave me was that he wanted to return to the Hong Kong circle and revive Hong Kong films! Don't you think this is a joke?"

"Haha, Director Chen should not have lied. He shot 4 movies for Guangguang in four years, which is good enough. Besides, didn't you raise Deng Chao?"

When Lin Nan heard the words "revive Hong Kong films", he couldn't help laughing. But Chen Jiashang's character is still good, and he wouldn't lie to Wang Changtian.

"Maybe. I have to rely on you to lead in the future, and start a new movie quickly."

"Then Director Wang will have to wait a little longer, and the time is hard to say."

...

On the 19th, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei strolled outside for a day.

They went to see the movie "The Last Days of Pompeii", which was a very good movie, a love tragedy like "Titanic".

In addition, they also bought a lot of things because Old Lin was coming.

Not long after returning home in the afternoon, Liu Yifei ran to laugh at Lin Nan with a tablet computer.

"You're embarrassed, right? There was no press conference, but a lot of Weibo posts to apologize."

Take the tablet from Liu Yifei and start reading.

Unlike others who wanted to post long articles, they were limited to 140 characters and could only post text and pictures.

There were a lot of Weibo posts intermittently, and the general content was basically in line with everyone's expectations.

It was nothing more than self-blame and apology, letting others learn from it...promising to discipline them in the future and not to cause trouble to the public...finally thanking the relevant departments...

Lin Nan suddenly thought of something, and his expression was a little playful.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yifei took back the tablet and asked while sitting next to him.

"I was wondering if he would come to the meeting this time. Last time he was in the crew, but he's in the capital these two days!"

Hmm! Thinking about it, Lin Nan felt that this possibility was really not small!

"I don't know, and I don't care. Remember to wake me up when you get up tomorrow morning."

Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan, had already opened the casual game, and lazily instructed.

She had to go to the airport to pick up her "backer" tomorrow morning.

"Well, no problem. Then please ask producer Liu to say a few good words for me when the time comes."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei instantly looked up at him, and "warned" with a smile:

"Hehe, as long as you don't make me angry and listen to me in everything, I won't complain. Hehe..."

…………

The time came to the 20th.

Almost the entire film and television industry knew that today would decide the fate of some people and a type of people in the industry.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan took two buns and drove away in a hurry.

And Liu Yifei was still sleeping, but Liu Xiaoli would wake up her daughter at nine o'clock.

The traffic converged towards the General Administration.

One by one, well-known figures in the industry appeared at the gate of the General Administration.

Unlike the last sudden conference, many media reporters came here early this time.

They squatted outside, with long guns and short guns, and densely set up cameras.

Today is Wednesday, the traffic is not too congested, Lin Nan arrived at 8:40.

Coincidentally, he saw Ning Hao again, who was still so "unruly"!

"I say, with so many media reporters here, you should at least pay attention to your image?"

Closing the car door, Lin Nan looked at Ning Hao, who was walking from a distance, wearing a black T-shirt, casual pants, and sneakers, and complained.

He was chewing a pancake in one hand and a transparent plastic bag in the other. The big gold chain around his neck shone brightly against the rising sun. It was really eye-catching!

"Image? I haven't even eaten breakfast, why do I care about image? I'm not an actor, nor am I a star who relies on my face to make a living. Want one?"

Ning Hao walked up to him and raised the plastic bag in his hand as an invitation.

"Then, let's have one."

Lin Nan decisively took out a tea egg. Well, not to mention, it tastes really good.

The two of them chatted while eating and walked towards the general administration.

Cars stopped one after another, and acquaintances from the circle got out.

"Let me go, today is interesting."

Ning Hao stuffed the last bite of noodles into his mouth and said excitedly as he saw the media reporters surrounding the entrance of the General Administration.

Lin Nan also nodded. Unexpectedly, he really came.

"What about the other one?" Ning Hao blurted out.

"Let's go. We'll know everything when we enter the conference hall later."

"Director Lin and Director Ning, can you do an interview? Do you two think the final result can be released today? How will it be handled..."

"Director Chen?"

"Director Zhang?"

…

Bracing his nerves, he squeezed through the crowd. Lin Nan and Ning Hao followed the signs and walked towards the big conference hall last time.

Facts have proved that the higher-ups are indeed serious this time, and even film and television companies and filmmakers from Hong Kong Island came over.

As soon as he entered the conference hall door, Lin Nan immediately saw Huo Wenxi chatting with Zhang Yimou, and people from Media Asia followed Ren Zhonglun.

Zhou Xingchi seemed a little introverted and socially anxious. He just kept a polite smile on his face as he listened to Jiang Wen's chatter, and Feng Xiaogang also interrupted from time to time.

"Oh, Wang Jing is here too?" Ning Hao said in surprise.

"Let's go."

The seating arrangement was still the same as last time, and it remained roughly the same, except that Ning Hao was squeezed into the third row because this time there were large companies in the Hong Kong area.

Wang Changtian on the left is listless, but Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong on the right are chatting very well. The two of them are the same!

"he came."

Wang Changtian said softly.

Everyone in the venue looked at the person walking in at the gate intentionally or unintentionally.

The man was shoulder to shoulder with La Peikang, with a faint smile on his face. It was obvious that he was a little reluctant.

Most people are mentally prepared for the worst--that they are going to have surgery.

"Lin Nan, can you keep a low profile for a while?"

Wang Changtian said in a low voice.

Currently, Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight and Wanda have publicly announced that they will ban those artists.

The three companies are the leaders in the industry, and today is not the time to be radical.

"Well, I know, keep your head down today." Lin Nan muttered softly.

The treatment for that person was really good. He was led to the seat next to Xingmei's Tan Hong, four seats away from Lin Nan.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, nine people came in one after another, and the nine people on the podium were still the same as last time!

In the large conference hall, it had long been extremely quiet. I remember last time, it was very noisy at the beginning. Sure enough, everyone was a little worried!

"On the 5th of the month, we invited everyone to come over and hold an industry conference. As of today, only half a month has passed. But everyone should know what happened in this half month. In these 15 days, the film and television industry has grown by 3 indivual……"

"What do the outside world say? The public is saying that this industry has reached the point of lawlessness."

"Even though the competent authorities are meeting to discuss how to punish actors and stars who break the law, they don't take it seriously at all. Those who should break the law break the law, and those who should use drugs continue to use drugs!

What is committing a crime against the wind? This is committing a crime against the wind. It is even possible that in their eyes, there is no ‘wind’ at all! In the eyes of ordinary people, we have become accomplices and accomplices of inaction or even shielding those people! "

On the rostrum, Tong Ju's words became more and more serious. There was a dead silence in the venue. This tone seemed to be really bad!

Lin Nan glanced left and right. Most of the people looked at the rostrum with solemn expressions, while a few people lowered their heads. It was unclear whether they had opinions or a guilty conscience.

Those two people had serious and lonely expressions on their faces, waiting for the "trial results" from the leaders above.

"This time, I'm afraid it's really going to happen..." Wang Changtian whispered to Lin Nan.

"Director Lin is so enlightened. The industry needs people like you."

Wang Zhonglei next to him smiled and said something coldly.

Lin Nan frowned subconsciously. At first glance, Wang Zhonglei's words sounded like he was praising him. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it’s weird, it’s a yin and yang thing!

"That's right. After Mr. Wang returned, he didn't check himself on Huayi's artists? Although there aren't many left, it's better to make sure it's clean."

"Haha, Director Lin doesn't need to worry about this. Whether it's Huayi's actors or artists, or the star studio we partner with, we have always abided by the law."

With Lin Nan across the way, Wang Zhonglei didn't notice the sneer and ridicule at the corner of Wang Changtian's mouth.

At this time, the conversation above changed and affected Chi Yu:

"Previously, Lin Nan proposed to 'ban' all bad artists, especially those involved in drugs... but in the end, 99% of people opposed it..."

Good guy, Lin Nan just said he should keep a low profile, but now, the leader won't let him keep a low profile!

Many people glanced at Lin Nan with different expressions, most of them indifferent.

"...After half a month of discussion, especially the latest events in the past few days, countless ordinary people are indignant...

I am now officially notifying you, notifying the representatives of this industry present:

Artists with bad records will be banned...!"

As the voice on the stage fell, there was a bang, and hundreds of people in the conference hall were completely in chaos, whispering to each other.

The two people's originally straight backs suddenly collapsed.

There seemed to be water stains in their eye sockets, but they held back. Now, only the emotion of pity for their inability to fight lingers in my heart.

Think about yourself, you have spent your whole life on your career. Things that are neglected can't be made up after all...No future, suffer the consequences...Maybe at the beginning, I really should have taken care of my family more, so that I wouldn't be in this situation now...

In the conference hall, the voices gradually rose, becoming more and more noisy, even a little noisy, until someone took the initiative to speak.

"Leader, I have a question to ask."

Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice, it was Anle's people.

"Okay, you can ask questions."

"If we want to ban bad artists, how exactly will we ban them? Which bad artists will we ban?"

People from various associations, directors, actors and film and television companies were watching and listening carefully, not daring to make any noise, for fear of missing something.

The person above said with a serious expression: "We will study the specific bad behaviors that will be banned after they come down.

But I can tell you clearly that those who touch drugs... must be the first to be dealt with and must be banned...

These people will not be able to appear in any screen works in the future. Production companies, please be aware that directors and crews should pay attention when casting!"

Okay, after this affirmative statement was made, everyone on the scene completely gave up, and they must always be vigilant in the future...

"Director Tong, I (still) have a problem."

The vice president of Enlightenment Pictures and Yu Dong of Bonanza shouted at the same time, and the two even fought for it.

Lin Nan smacked his lips and joked with Wang Changtian: "Look, everyone is getting anxious."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, interesting. I remember that these two companies seem to have movies that were affected, right?"

Wang Changtian laughed with gloating. Those two companies are rivals. If they are suffering a little, it is no different from Guangguang making money. It's a celebration!

"Haha, that's right, they are all affected. Enlight Pictures is the worst! I heard that the production cycle of that movie is quite long, and the investment is not small. I heard from Wanda that they used Hollywood's special effects team... I don't know if it's true or not?"

Lin Nan lowered his voice and whispered to Wang Changtian.

"Let Yu Dong ask, each person is limited to one question." Tong Ju raised his hand and said.

Hearing this, Yu Dong hurriedly said:

"Director Tong, you just said that bad artists involved in drugs will not be allowed to appear in the future, and we will definitely avoid them when casting.

But now there is a very thorny problem in front of us, that is, what should be done with the film and television works that bad artists involved in drugs have participated in before?"

Well, Yu Dong asked the question that all film and television companies, producers, directors and actors are eager to know.

If they are not allowed to appear in the future, what about the previous works?

Before Director Tong answered, the people from Anle had already added:

"Director Tong, actually my question is the same as Director Yu. But in more detail, what should be done with the movies and TV series that these bad artists involved in drugs have starred in and filmed but have not yet been released or broadcast?

You know, the current production costs are very high. Once these works cannot be screened, the company will suffer huge losses at best, and even go bankrupt directly!"

The discussion sounded again, chirping, and Director Tong did not answer immediately. He was communicating with a few people beside him.

"In the past, the only reason why film and television works could not be screened was that they were not approved by the review. Who would have thought that one day they would be dragged down by the actors."

"So most companies in the industry do not have compensation clauses for actors when signing contracts. Are you dumbfounded now?"

Wang Changtian and Lin Nan complained one after another. It felt great to see their peers having fun!

"Quiet!"

The conference hall was silent again.

Director Tong said with a very serious expression:

"The result of today's industry conference is to tell everyone: the bureau's ban on bad artists is imperative.

Next, we will call on professionals in the industry, including some individuals present, to participate in discussions and make suggestions, and issue specific red-headed documents as soon as possible.

Which artists with bad behavior will be banned, the ways and channels for banning, the specific implementation standards for banning, and the handling of bad artists' works that have been and have not been screened, etc., will be detailed in the document one by one..."

Director Tong was still talking, and Wang Changtian was already looking at Lin Nan with shining eyes.

Lin Nan felt a little weak, as if many people were looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Lin Nan, you're probably going to be called out by the bureau!"

"What?"

Lin Nan admitted that he had just played with his phone for a while and sent a text message to Liu Yifei, asking if she had arrived at the airport. As for what was said on the rostrum, he didn't hear it.

"You are the first one to propose a ban, and you will definitely be called by the bureau to participate in the formulation of the red-headed document of the 'ban' and offer suggestions..."

Hearing Wang Changtian's words, Lin Nan suddenly felt overwhelmed. So troublesome? ! He was distracted for a moment, and he had to deal with this kind of thing?

A professional person does professional things. Isn't he someone who is specialized in doing such things within the system? Why are you so unlucky?

Lin Nan looked around. There was something wrong with the way many people looked at him. They seemed to be glowing green, and they all looked like wolves.

"Director Lin, congratulations, this is a good thing!"

Wang Zhonglei on the side also said with a smile, without the strange tone just now, the change in attitude made Lin Nan feel cold!

"Mr. Wang, stop joking, how could I do such a thing."

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he buried his head and muttered wordlessly: "It's too troublesome... don't look for me... I'm still busy getting engaged..."
