Chapter 857: Completely Trapped; Crystal Pictures, Tom Has Arrived

Shu Chang, the driver, has no sense at all;

He just drives, but he keeps complaining about Liu Yifei and Lin Nan.

"...Can't help yourself in public? Now you're being photographed! Your eyes are so sexy, I'm also fed up with you two, I have goose bumps.

You told me to hurry up, but you didn't listen. We were stuck, right? If it weren't for the help of the staff at the Civil Affairs Hall, we would still be stuck there, unable to move..."

All the way, the "female driver" kept chattering, while Liu Yifei and Lin Nan in the back seat treated her as air.

The two were still immersed in joy and sweetness, hugging each other's arms and leaning on each other's shoulders, snuggling together, and reading the news about the two of them on the Internet - it was really lively.

"They really look happy. Look at our Director Lin and Producer Liu standing in front of the camera. Wow, they are full of spring breeze, as beautiful as peach blossoms, so beautiful, so envious!"

"That reporter asked a good question: Registering for marriage on Yifei's birthday, is it to save a holiday in the future, so as not to be scolded by Yifei for forgetting the wedding anniversary?"

"According to my understanding of Lin Nan, it is really possible. Haha..."

"I now publicly announce on behalf of Director Lin and Lin Nan Films: Zhu Yawen plays the male lead in the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong" The role of number two is gone!"

"It's just 11 o'clock now. Those who are in the capital and free can form a team. Let's go to Director Lin and Yifei's place at noon to send blessings!

According to my analysis, Aunt Liu must have prepared cakes and a big meal at home to celebrate Yifei's birthday and the two red books. Those who want to go, please sign up quickly. I'm so looking forward to it."

"Xun brother is really... insightful! I'll sign up."

"Count me in."

"+1"

"+1"

"Make up the number, +1"

...

One morning, it really is one morning.

The entire film and television industry, and even the entire Internet, are all about Lin Nan and Liu Yifei queuing up to register at the Civil Affairs Hall and being surrounded by media reporters.

The popularity of this matter is undoubtedly really off the charts.

After all, both of them are top celebrities who have debuted in the film and television industry for twelve or thirteen years. They are not comparable to those artists who became popular in the Internet era!

"It's finally settled."

Yang Mi, who seemed to have been "reborn" in just a few days at Jiaxing, couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't you send a Weibo to wish her a happy birthday?"

Zeng Jia flipped through the dozen notices and invitations on the table and asked without looking up.

"Yes, of course I will. Think about it, from "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to now, I have known her and Lin... Senior Lin Nan for ten years."

Yang Mi sighed and edited a Weibo: "We have known each other for ten years. I wish Yifei a happy birthday. I wish you two will be in harmony..."

"Happy birthday to Sister Yifei. I wish Sister Yifei and Brother Lin Nan will have a baby soon and live together forever..."

Following Yang Mi, Jing Tian's Weibo appeared. She tagged Liu Yifei and Lin Nan one after another.

These two people seemed to set the pace, and then a large number of people in the circle began to talk about birthday wishes and childbirth.

For a while, the Internet became a large-scale "birth promotion" scene, which attracted countless netizens to watch the excitement, and also made Lin Nan and Liu Yifei laugh and cry.

...

When it was close to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, when Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang came back, there were several more people welcoming them.

"Are you all so fast?"

Liu Yifei greeted with a soft voice and a smile. Of course, she was welcome and happy, and her joy could be shared.

"Yes, we are all working non-stop. But we really came to the right place, such a big cake!"

Zhou Xun's rustling voice was also a bit magnetic. Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Zhang Jingying, Reba, Huang Bo, and Ning Hao were all smiling.

"Come on, let me see your licenses, so that you won't be driving without a license in the future... cough cough... People in the circle were speculating that Director Lin would follow you to Hong Kong Island to register."

Zhou Xun was like a female gangster, laughing.

While Liu Yifei was laughing and playing with a few women, Lin Nan had already come to the team of male compatriots.

"Take care, brother. You have completely put shackles on yourself today. From now on, we are all real 'one of us'!"

Ning Hao looked sad and came forward to hug Lin Nan and patted his shoulder.

"Fuck you, I'm different from you."

Lin Nan laughed and scolded unhappily. How could he not hear the meaning of Ning Hao's joke?

How could he, Director Lin, be afraid of his wife? How could he be a weak husband? That's impossible!

On the side, Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen, two married men, looked at Lin Nan with tacit jokes on their faces; only Luo Jin's smile did not have these "bad thoughts".

"Don't chat in the garden, come in, lunch is ready, come quickly."

Liu Xiaoli stood at the door of the villa, smiling and greeting everyone, while Tang Yan stood by with a cake knife and fork, obviously helping just now.

To celebrate today, Lao Lin specially cooked two dishes, which were equally delicious when put together with the large table of dishes sent by the restaurant.

On the small table next to the dining table was a six-layer fairytale-style cake.

Several large bottles of champagne were opened early, and a dozen crystal goblets flashed and dazzled.

"Come on, Mom. Let's all go in."

Liu Yifei transformed into a hostess and warmly invited everyone.

In front of the cake, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan were the protagonists today. Everyone in the group was taking pictures of them with their mobile phones.

When the two of them opened their eyes, this group of people had already started posting on Weibo, and their main focus was on-site participation!

"Hurry up, hurry up, there is still a necessary link missing, show off your marriage certificate!"

Zhou Xun once again took the lead in making noises, and a group of people, including Liu Xiaoli and Lao Lintou, couldn't help laughing.

"Then let's show off one?"

Lin Nan smiled and looked at Liu Yifei tenderly. Her eyes flickered and she nodded gently, "Yeah."

The two red books were not opened. They were stacked one above the other in front of the cake... This is the accompanying picture.

A minute later, Lin Nan’s Weibo was the first to update:

"From today on, in this journey of life, my 'stock' will be completely tied to Liu Yifei, from now on, and forever!

In addition, let me explain again why I got my certificate today. Well, that’s right, because today is classmate Liu Qianqian’s birthday!

Get the certificate on her birthday, and you can spend your wedding anniversaries and her birthday together in the future... It's definitely not to avoid giving one less gift every year in the future, I promise! "

Just a minute later, Liu Yifei’s Weibo also came out, and she wrote to Aitlin Nan:

"Haha, the more you emphasize something, the more problems it will cause! Every year from now on, remember to double the gift... Also, if there are durians at home, you should go there on your knees first."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a group photo of more than a dozen people with Liu Yifei and Lin Nan as the core appeared online;

In the photo, everyone is smiling, and everyone's body, face, and hair are more or less covered with cake!

…………

Time flies, it's two days.

The news that Liu Yifei officially became the boss of Lin Nan Pictures is still the most discussed and discussed event in the industry.

Even the media on Hong Kong Island are reporting on it. They expressed great regret that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not register their marriage in Hong Kong Island.

The Hong Kong media even publicly called Lin Nan, hoping that he could be naturalized like Liu Yifei. He would definitely enjoy the special channel treatment for naturalization.

Not to mention, just because the Hong Kong media made such a statement, Lin Nan received messages from many other people, both within and outside the system.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was reminded both inside and outside of his words: It's best not to have that kind of idea. It's enough that Ms. Liu is a Hong Kong citizen.

In the movie market, the end of the summer season has arrived; the summer season is about to end.

"Directed by director Cao Baoping, starring Deng Chao, Guo Tao, and Duan Yihong, it won four Golden Goblet trophies including Best Director and Best Actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The movie "Heart of the Burning Sun" was officially released."

"The film directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, which won the Palme d'Or for Best Director at the Cannes International Film Festival, and the ancient costume martial arts masterpiece "The Assassin" was released in theaters across the country this morning."

"Produced by Huayi, starring Tang Wei, Liu Qingyun, and Jing Boran, and adapted from the real-life events of Jackie Chan's parents, the movie "A Tale of Three Cities" was officially released this morning."

"The imported blockbuster "Terminator: Genisys" was released for 4 days, with a total box office of 326 million, the highest in the mainland film market!"

"The film directed by Guo Fan, "Get Out! Tumor King" has officially exceeded 700 million in box office, with a cumulative box office revenue of 702 million, and the daily box office is still strong at around 7 million."

"Starring Yang Ying, Ni Nai, Zhu Yawen, Chen Xiao and others, the movie "Bride Wars" has been released for one week, with a total box office of 130 million, and a daily revenue of less than 100,000. Its potential has been exhausted...

…

There is only the last half month left before the wedding.

At this moment, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei no longer felt nervous at all. All they had in their hearts was excitement, anticipation, and excitement...

"Tom's flight will land at the Capital Airport at around 11 o'clock tomorrow morning; he has quite a few people with him, including two assistants and six bodyguards."

Liu Yifei is quite a "lady" these days. At this moment, she is sitting on the sofa seriously, holding her tablet and telling Lin Nan the contents of Tom's email.

"I still like to see you barefoot, curled up on the sofa, or lying down, so you don't have to embarrass yourself so much. Isn't your habit always to make you feel comfortable? Haha..."

Lin Nan teased Liu Yifei, but she immediately gave her a sharp look, "Huh, just wait!"

Facing that "evil" look, Lin Nan sat over and was used as a "stepping stone".

Starting from the end of the month, or to be precise, starting from September 1st, most of the Hollywood friends invited by Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will come over one after another.

For this reason, Lin Nan Pictures spent money to buy a star-rated hotel for half a month, starting on the 30th the day after tomorrow; as for Tom, he had to check in in advance.

Liu Yifei's elder relatives are now also Lin Nan's elder relatives. They must be living in Liu Xiaoli's villa, just like when they got engaged.

"Lin Nan, don't be distracted, there's a phone call."

Liu Yifei lightly kicked Lin Nan with her foot to remind him that her phone was vibrating.

"Old ginger?"

After looking at the call notification, Lin Nan answered the call: "Teacher Jiang, what's the matter?"

"Director Lin, school is about to start at Nortel. Don't forget the opening ceremony on the morning of the 1st. I know you are busy these days, but you said you can still spare an hour or two."

"Okay, I get it."

Lin Nan responded with a smile. His banner was indeed very important to the school.

…………

Although it was released at the end of the summer season, the online promotion wars for several movies were fierce.

Jackie Chan personally posted on Weibo to support "A Tale of Three Cities", which really attracted the attention of a large number of movie fans, but it is unclear whether movie fans will pay for it.

Of course, the two films that have attracted the most attention are definitely the two films by Cao Baoping and Hou Xiaoxian, and they will inevitably be compared by the industry.

Because both of them won the Best Director Award at the International Category A Film Festival with the help of these two films released at the same time today.

There are a lot of happy events this year.

Near noon, among all the movie information, hot searches for "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl" suddenly appeared.

Well, it's Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu in Yu Zheng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

These two people were caught by Feng Xing and were immediately forced to make an official announcement.

Not to mention, the "combination" of mainland actors and Taiwanese actors is very eye-catching; moreover, it is because of the drama, which makes it even more "selling point" and topic.

Anyway, Yu Zheng made it into the hot search and won the title of "Matchmaker" based on this; and the "Xiao Long Bao" version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also naturally "exploded" again.

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the gossip about "Yang Guo" and "Xiao Long Bao" falling in love because of the drama, because he was worried about the company's matters regarding the Venice International Film Festival.

Although I said I would take a wedding leave before, this trip to the Venice International Film Festival is very important as it involves copyright transactions for several movies.

Looking online, I can see that many film crews in the mainland film industry have already started to set off.

"In the morning, Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi Group, led a team, including director Guan Hui and his wife, director Feng Xiaogang and his wife, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Xu Qing and others, and set off for Venice with the movie "Old Paoer"..."

"Wang Zhonglei said bluntly that the old Paoer played by director Feng Xiaogang will make his first shot as an 'Old Paoer' during the Venice International Film Festival!"

"Director Hou Hsiao-hsien has flown to Venice and is one of the judges for the main competition unit of this Venice International Film Festival."

"The crew of the movie "Rescuing Mr. Wu" has set off, and Liu Dehua, Liu Ye and others will appear in the water city of Venice..."

"Zhang Ziyi...the crew of "Falling from the Sky"..."

…

"Don't worry, Director Lin. I am leading the team this time, and there are a total of 12 people in the team. I will come back before the 9th to attend your wedding, and then fly to Venice, haha..."

On the phone, Jiang Yuerou smiled and teased,

This time Lin Nan Pictures will bring only three movies, namely "The Return of the Great Sage", "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", and "Get Out!" Tumor King".

As for "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown", both of them are not suitable.

And Lin Nan didn't want to be "exposed" so early. After all, as long as he went to Venice, he might be "stolenly recorded" in advance.

“The Return of the Great Sage is a top priority and I expect it to fetch a high price.

Back then, Modu Art Film Studio amazed the world with "Havoc in Heaven". Therefore, "The Return of the Great Sage" has a foundation in the overseas film market. "

Lin Nan specifically warned. As for the ranking in his mind, "The Return of the Great Sage" is first, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is second, and "Tumor King" is last.

After all, period martial arts films have always been synonymous with Chinese films abroad, and they also have a certain market base.

"Well, I know the priorities. Don't worry, Director Lin."

"It opens on the 2nd. It's a good time for you to start tomorrow."

…………

In the afternoon, the General Administration took advantage of variety shows and launched another attack. They even issued a direct recommendation: Actors should not stay in variety shows!

It seems that many movies and TV series in the second half of the year were unable to hire "well-known actors", so that they have been unable to prepare to start filming, which led to the above article.

Because actors who are slightly famous have all gone to record variety shows, which not only pay well but can also quickly accumulate popularity and become famous, so everyone simply can't stand the little pay and income from movies and TV series, and they are still tired.

This situation has caused a previously unimaginable phenomenon to appear in the film and television industry - "actor shortage"!

Of course, the focus of this "actor shortage" refers to the "actor shortage" of well-known actors with box office appeal and TV series ratings appeal!

After much thought, Lin Nan still took time out to support "Charlotte Troubles" in the afternoon and sat in the guest seats instead of going on stage.

But even so, he was still the center of attention.

Because he is already a top director in the industry, and the most important thing is that he just registered his marriage two days ago, and his wedding will be held in two weeks - he is a real "hot" figure!

"After this movie, your transformation has been completely successful. You can focus your career on movies in the future. The big screen is the way out, otherwise it will be a waste."

Lin Nan didn't hide these words, he just said them to Shen Teng and Ma Li. Allen, Chang Yuan, Song Yang and others around him were quite envious.

Lin Nan is not saying that they are not good, but that they do not have the "characteristics" to impress the audience as protagonists;

At this point, Shen Teng and Ma Li have the upper hand and have been well known and remembered by countless audiences!

"Director Lin, with your words, I feel really at ease."

"Thank you, Director Lin, for your affirmation. If your movie has a supporting role, please give me a chance. I won't pick one, haha..."

Shen Teng and Ma Li said one after another.

Those who can withstand the test of the drama stage are all excellent actors. Lin Nan would really consider using the two of them in his movie.

…………

The next morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not get up early on purpose. Because I just went to pick up Tom from the airport, not Miss Liu's grandmother and others.

Although Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not "pay much attention" to Tom, Lin Nan had already prepared what should be prepared.

For example, he informed Yue Jun yesterday afternoon that the company would send five vehicles to pick him up at the airport; Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would also be there.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei slowly finished their breakfast.

Now that it has been exposed, let’s stop pretending and let Liu Yifei sleep in openly!

"Are you bringing Tom over to your house this morning?"

Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile. She knew Tom and had dealt with him several times.

When Liu Yifei was filming "Journey to the Center of the Earth", Tom often visited the set, and then when she was filming "Super Body", the group went to Venice after filming was completed.

"Huh? No, he shouldn't feel comfortable coming to the house."

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and spoke before Lin Nan.

Old Lintou has also heard Lin Nan introduce the foreigner who is coming to the capital today. From his understanding, that is his son's employees abroad, um, executives!

"Forget it then, say hello to him for me."

"Yeah, we will, Mom."

While Liu Yifei was talking, she carried her bag and got into the passenger seat. She was wearing a plain dress today, with a graceful figure and a charming smile.

…

At around 11 a.m., many entertainment reporters and paparazzi outside the airport were discussing the return of the Shanghai Composite Index to 3,000 points.

Suddenly, one of them suddenly screamed: "I'm going, big fish!"

When a group of people heard the voice, they were instantly excited and looked over following the former's voice.

I saw five black business Mercedes-Benz lined up in a row, parked slowly in the distance.

"It's Lin Nan Pictures' car!"

"Who are you trying to pick up? Such a big battle!"

"Except for Director Lin and Liu Yifei coming back from attending the awards ceremony abroad, Lin Nan Pictures rarely sends out so many cars!"

"Fuck, there's a wedding on the 9th next month, isn't it someone from Hollywood? Who's a big shot?"

"It seems that this is really possible!"

"Leonardo? No, it shouldn't be so early?"

"I'm going. Look, Director Lin's car is here too."

"In 6 days, I squatted with Director Lin three times. This frequency is a bit high, haha..."

"Let's get started, let's get to work."

"Holy shit, it's such a big battle, even Yue Jun is here!"

…………

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got out of the car, and Yue Jun also walked over from the front and said with a smile:

"I have wanted to get to know the general manager of Crystal Pictures for a long time, so I personally led the team here today."

"He specifically requested that we come to pick him up at the airport; if you come here again, the three of us together will seem to be a bit aggressive." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

"Senior brother Yue Jun, haven't you seen Tom last time?" Liu Yifei asked doubtfully.

"Tom came to the capital once before when we were casting for Inception, but we never met."

Speaking of this matter, Liu Yifei felt a little shy. Her audition was not about auditioning, it was about "connecting"!

"Coming out? Is it them?"

Following Yue Jun's voice, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked towards the airport exit...

That's right, it's that slutty Tom!

I saw a fat man with a big belly walking at the front. He was dressed in high-end casual clothes, wearing large sunglasses, with a slicked back hair, and a pretended serious expression on his face.

On either side of him were two "thin" male assistants pushing suitcases, followed by six tall white bodyguards.

These six people were at an angle of 180 degrees, surrounding Tom, giving people an invisible pressure as they walked.

Many tourists around him intentionally or unintentionally stayed away for a few meters, but at the same time they cast curious glances.

"Let's go, he's going to call us."

Lin Nan smiled and walked over with Liu Yifei first. Tom had already taken out his mobile phone.

"Tom."

From a distance, Lin Nan shouted.

I saw Tom raise his head instantly, and then a smile immediately broke out on his face.

"Oh, dear Lin, and Crystal, I miss you so much, haha..."

…

In the distance, a group of media reporters were already excited!

It's a big fish! It’s a super big fish!

"The actual manager and general manager of Crystal Pictures, a well-known Hollywood film production company - Tom!"

"It's really him! Good guy, why are you here so early?"

"This is no longer just about coming to the wedding. I'm afraid the film industry will be moved because of him!"

"What do you mean? Isn't Director Lin the major shareholder?"

"He is the actual manager and also a shareholder. More importantly, he represents Crystal Pictures, the Crystal Pictures of Hollywood! The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager..."

"There should be other big Hollywood companies in the future, right?"

"This is high standard, this is pomp!"
