Chapter 734: You Must Wear This Crown!
On New Year's Day, it started to snow lightly.
Lin Nan got out of the car and was blown by the cold wind. Hiss... In an instant, his brain was so clear!
After entering the company, he first saw Reba wearing a pink down jacket.
"It's not easy to see you in the company. You've been quite tired lately, haven't you?"
Reba held a cup of steaming coffee and nodded with a smile:
"I'm a bit busy, but I'm not tired and can hold on. Director Lin, is Sister Yifei at home? Or is there an announcement?"
"She? Of course she is at home at this time. The closer to the end of the year, the more at home she becomes."
Lin Nan was still joking in his mind. It was only around nine o'clock in the morning and he was sleeping!
"Reba has to catch the 11 o'clock flight to the airport soon, so he stopped by the company to have a look."
Yue Jun followed the assistant and walked over from a distance.
The first season of "Running Man" was indeed a hit. Every resident guest benefited a lot. The announcements were extremely busy. Reba is the best example.
"Well, are there enough assistants and bodyguards?"
"That's enough. There are six people on the trip, and the organizer will send someone as well."
Reba said hurriedly. Among the artists in the company, she has the largest support team by far.
"That's good."
Lin Nan simply sat in the tea area on the first floor and drank hot coffee.
"The airport is particularly congested today. I heard that just now, a group of TF Boys fans picking up the plane almost caused a stampede..."
"The end of the year is like this. There are all kinds of parties, variety shows, and entertainment festivals. It's no wonder there aren't many celebrities at the airport. There will naturally be no shortage of fans."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Yue Jun continued:
"Director Lin, in the middle of this month, the first season of "Running Man" will officially come to an end with 16 episodes. The four New Year special episodes will also be aired in late February."
Reba sat on the edge and drank coffee quietly, but listened carefully to the conversation between Lin Nan and Yue Jun.
Lin Nan nodded, reminding himself that the second season of "Running Man" must be put on the agenda.
"So, it's time for the Rays to contact me? Let's wait until the end of February. The Oscars will be over by then."
Wang Changtian has been thinking about the second season of "Running Man" and will "harass" Lin Nan from time to time.
His uncle's, just like now!
Looking at the vibrating phone, Lin Nan had a speechless smile on his face.

Yesterday, Lin Nan’s advice to Wu Quan was that if you really don’t have the confidence to go to the big time, then try the May 1st time.
However, the latter still chose a conservative plan, which was finally set at the beginning of April.
Because the military themes on the market are not mass themes, he was afraid that "Wolf Warrior" would be crowded out by those popular commercial films and fail miserably.
Moreover, Wu Gan’s words were quite nice. It was probably taught by Xie Nan:
"It doesn't matter if I get knocked down again, but if the investors and our producer Liu have to pay compensation, it would be a really big deal! So I'd better be conservative."
Having said that, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei must have nothing to say.
…
Lin Nan didn't stay in the company for long and was really bored.
After watching Guo Fan's upcoming audition and Wu Ershan's progress on "Searching for the Dragon", he left the company again.
But he didn't go to the light, nor did he go home. Instead, he was invited to dinner. This person is Li An, Director Li, who wants to thank him wholeheartedly!
When we drove to the place, at exactly 11:30 noon, Liu Yifei's call came.
"Lin Nan, will you be back at noon?"
"Just tell me what you want to eat. Li An is treating you. I'll order it for you later and bring it back."
How could Lin Nan not know what Liu Yifei was thinking, so he immediately said.
"Hehe, you really understand me very well. Just watch it, you know what I like to eat."
"Okay. Fortunately, our mother is not at home, otherwise you will be beaten for the designated punishment."
"Hey, hey... when mom comes back, don't tattle on me!"
"It's hard to say, it depends on your performance."
"Then I'll tell you, I'll call you soon..."
"Okay, you're awesome, I'm convinced, I'm convinced."
Lin Nan smiled and hung up the phone and followed the waiter to the box.
As the old saying goes: people feel refreshed when happy events happen!
This sentence is just right when applied to Li An in front of him.
He was the only one in the box, his assistant and driver were guarding outside.
Seeing Lin Nan, Li An stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Director Lin, sit down quickly. Please, the food is ready to be served."
The latter sentence was said to the waiter in the restaurant, and it was quite polite.
"Director Li, looking at you like this, has it been decided?"
Although Lin Nan was 80% sure, he still had to ask.
"Well, it's settled."
"What do you mean by 'regarding'?" Lin Nan was a little surprised.
At this time, the waiters filing in filed in, and in less than a minute, a table of dishes was set.
After they went out, Li An spoke: "First of all, I would like to thank Director Lin for giving me the idea and waking up the dreamer with a few words. I would like to pay tribute to Director Lin."
After thanking him again, Li An talked about his "tortuous journey" after returning to China!
Lin Nan was dumbfounded and called him a good guy. As expected, the big boss always appears last, so powerful!
After Li An landed at the Capital Airport with him that day, he contacted several domestic listed companies and state-owned enterprises that afternoon.
Of course, you definitely don’t contact the big boss of each company directly.
Private companies, on the other hand, are always more responsive than state-owned enterprises.
Bona, Huayi, LeTV, Star Media, Orange Sky, Wanda... all replied that afternoon, basically agreeing to invest, but they wanted to meet in person for detailed discussion.
Li An was still excited and struggling, thinking about how to choose an investor and which investor was suitable.
But reality told him that he didn't have to choose, and he had no choice.
When Shanghai Film Group jumped out, all private enterprises seemed to be a little bit discouraged.
Because this involves the distribution of foreign language films in China and policy issues.
There are only two companies in China, China Film Group and Huaxia Film Group, that are qualified to distribute foreign language films.
Shanghai Film Group is an important component of Huaxia Film Group and the second largest shareholder, so of course it can do this.
How could a private enterprise compete with Shanghai Film Group? The result is obvious.
Li An was ready to sign a contract with Shanghai Film Group, but after hesitating for a while, China Film Group came late and directly stated: I want this project!
China Film Group is more ruthless than Shanghai Film Group. The latter is the second largest shareholder of Huaxia Film Group. China Film Group is the only second largest shareholder tied with Shanghai Film Group.
Moreover, China Film Group can distribute foreign films. Most importantly, only China Film Group has the power to introduce imported films with a split-revenue. This is a trump card!
Unless you want to buy out this foreign film in batches, you will never be able to bypass China Film Group.
Ren Zhonglun was "killed" by La Peikang in such a disgraceful way!
Because Li An and Sony certainly cannot accept "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" entering the mainland in the form of batches.
After listening to Li An's words, Lin Nan felt that La Peikang was quite domineering this time, and directly put the trump card on the table.
He actually told Ren Zhonglun that either I invest or you invest. If you invest, I will not give the quota for imported films with a split-revenue!
"That's it, China Film Group cannot invest in the next two months." Li An said this a little aggrievedly.
"Why?"
"It's said that it's the end of the year, and the account must be transferred, and it will be after the Spring Festival. But the contract has been signed."
Lin Nan tried to hold back his laughter. He was afraid that this year's money had been spent "in a hurry", and there was still a deficit, right? Otherwise, it will affect next year...

The Legend of Wu Mei Niang, which was suspended for several days, finally resumed broadcasting on the evening of New Year's Day.
However, when it resumed broadcasting, the Internet exploded, and the curses were as bad as they could be. It can be said that "the people are boiling with resentment" and "the public is outraged"!
"Where is the ball? Where is my ball?"
"I am a fan, I just want to concentrate on watching the game. How did this guy become a big-headed baby?"
"Can it be more disgusting? This is the first time I have seen such an operation! Everything below the head was cut off!"
"I didn't expect that people in the 21st century would be so conservative, even less open than the Tang people a thousand years ago! Go to the Shaanxi Museum and see that people dress like this!"
"In this episode tonight, the shot of Wu Mei Niang hugging Li Shimin's head is amazing. Because her breasts were cut off, Li Shimin's head was also cut off..."
"Inside information, I heard that it was reported by the opponent! Fan Bingbing is the investor of this drama..."
……
Fan Bingbing's two consecutive Weibo posts were pushed to the top of the hot search list, and he was directly enshrined as a god!
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"
"Don't bow your head! The crown will fall off! Don't cry! The bad guys will laugh!"
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat on the bed, watching the fun and "looking up" at the re-edited "The Empress of China".
This new series, edited into a "big-headed doll" operation is really disgusting, and it is the first in China!
"Xixi, don't say it. Fan Bingbing's two sentences can also be applied to you. And it fits perfectly..."
"What about me?"
Liu Yifei looked at Fan Bingbing's Weibo and remembered some things from a long time ago. She was silent for a long time, and her head slowly leaned on Lin Nan's shoulder.
"Well, it can be applied to me. But that was me in the past."
After saying this, Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Nan, with a bright smile on her delicate face.
"Now, I'm very powerful. And I still have you. Right, Director Lin?"
Lin Nan reached out and gently stroked Liu Yifei's cheek, smiled, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, I have you. So, this crown, you will definitely wear it!"
The air was inexplicably sweet.
Is there honey in Miss Liu's eyes?
"Hehe, go to sleep."
Liu Yifei pulled Lin Nan's arm and urged sweetly.
