Chapter 885: Hatred of the Rich? Sarcastic; Valuation: 1.5 Billion!
Yu Linnan and Liu Yifei's wedding was grand but low-key and private, while Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's wedding was the kind that was extremely ostentatious.
As he said sincerely, he wanted to give Yang Ying an unforgettable, princess-style wedding of the century;
So he solicited sponsorship, entertained guests, and made the entire wedding extremely luxurious and dreamy;
At the same time, he also allowed the media to publicize and report on it, adding to the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
All these things finally made the whole network know, especially the extravagance of the wedding scene, which was seen by the public.
To use the media's words of flattery, that is: Brother Xiaoming's wedding of the century used money as paper!
In fact, it is true:
Inviting most of the entertainment industry, millions of venue rental fees, tens of thousands of fresh roses shipped by air, millions of guests' air tickets and accommodation, nearly 10 million wedding banquets, and a scene comparable to the closing ceremony of a film festival...all these are money!
But all this was too high-profile, and it was displayed nakedly in front of countless netizens and the public, and was publicly reported, boasted, praised, and praised by the media...
It is undeniable that Huang Xiaoming had no bad intentions. He just wanted to hold a wedding of the century so that everyone could share his joy and happiness together;
But he and his team forgot one thing, that is, there is a kind of human nature and a kind of psychology, which is called: hatred of the rich!
I don’t know which people have nothing to do and started the rhythm online. Since last night, a lot of abuse has appeared on Weibo.
Until this morning, it was out of control and completely out of control.
What: Drama ~ ruthless, bitch ~ righteous, corrupting morals, arrogant ~ ~, harboring filth...
A large number of derogatory and abusive words appeared on the Internet and Weibo, and it was overwhelming.
Many posts also pulled out some scientific researchers who live a simple life, gave examples and comparisons, and then attacked and criticized the couple.
The resistance and negative emotions of netizens were successfully mobilized, ignited, and the public was indignant...
There was even a tendency to evolve into group confrontation and major contradictions.
The newlyweds in this storm of public opinion were the first to bear the brunt of being targeted, denounced and boycotted by countless netizens, like rats crossing the street.
For this situation, the film and television industry, the entertainment industry, and the media industry are all speaking for Huang Xiaoming; but the more so, the more it arouses the rebellious psychology of netizens.
Even in the eyes of many netizens, if you generalize from a few points, there are no good people in the film and television industry, the entertainment industry, and the performing arts industry... They are all parasites and losers...
At nearly nine o'clock, Liu Yifei was checking her luggage. Her and Lin Nan's flight was at 10:40.
At the same time, Director Lin had just hung up Huang Xiaoming's phone; the latter wanted him to help communicate with Weibo to suppress public opinion.
In fact, Huang Xiaoming's matter is indeed serious, because it has risen to the point where the entire industry is boycotted, but it is also simple.
Lin Nan told him not to worry, if nothing unexpected happens, the higher-ups will intervene today.
After all, this is already a large-scale "social" contradiction, and if it continues to develop, the impact will be very bad.
"Hey, it's really the worst result? All rejected!"
At this moment, Lin Nan's focus is not on the overwhelming "encirclement and suppression" of the leader and even the entire film and television entertainment industry by countless netizens on the Internet, but on the public notice of the Film Bureau.
"At 8 o'clock this morning, the Film Bureau issued a public reply:
The application for the extension key of the film "Hong Kong囧" submitted by Light Media was rejected, and the film must be screened normally on the 24th of this month;
The application for the extension key of the film "Charlotte's Troubles" submitted by Happy Twist was rejected, and the film must be withdrawn as scheduled on the 29th of the month."
"According to analysis by industry insiders, the extension key applications for the two popular films were both rejected. This result was unexpected by the industry, but it was also reasonable..."
Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying accounted for 70% to 80% of the film and television entertainment information on the Internet, and the remaining headlines were about these two movies. The film industry should support and applaud!
Lin Nan estimated that at least one of Wang Changtian and Happy Twist would call him today, because the approval of the Film Bureau was indeed a bit "non-compliant".
"It's checked, and all the luggage is fine... I want to bring a cat with me to the crew."
Liu Yifei's voice interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts. She stood by and saw the news on the tablet.
"Good things don't work, but bad things do. What you fear will come true. You really guessed it!"
"That's right. Okay, let's get ready to go. Forget about the cat. First, I didn't go through the procedures in advance. Second, if you really take it, what if it runs away and gets lost?"
Lin Nan said with a smile and stood up and took Liu Yifei's hand. The assistants were already carrying the suitcases out.
"That's right. But the scenery over there is really beautiful. Will you accompany me to visit it when the time comes?"
Looking at Miss Liu's expectant sweet smile and eyes, Lin Nan nodded decisively, "Of course no problem."
After 9:10, two business Mercedes-Benz drove out of the villa area and headed straight for the Capital Airport.
…
Lin Nan’s prediction was right again. When he and Liu Yifei were about to board the plane, Wang Changtian called.
Light, 12th floor, chairman’s office.
Wang Changtian and Xu Zheng sat face to face. Outside the huge French window, there was a rare blue sky and white clouds, which made people’s mood brighter.
"In theory, both Lost in Hong Kong and Charlotte's Troubles meet all the prerequisites for the extension key application of the Film Bureau, but why?"
Xu Zheng couldn't help asking. Judging from the current situation, until the end of the screening, the box office of Lost in Hong Kong will not reach 2 billion!
Only by getting the extension key can there be a chance of "operation", and crossing the 2 billion box office threshold will not be just a "luxury". But... it was rejected!
"How much?" Wang Changtian did not answer, but asked back.
"The current cumulative box office is 1.65 billion, and the daily box office is still 20 million, but it is impossible for the total box office to reach 2 billion! The later it is, the faster the daily box office will drop!"
Xu Zheng's tone was a little excited, mixed with helplessness.
"'Charlotte's Troubles' has been released for 9 days and has already earned 1.223 billion yuan. Its momentum is even stronger than 'Lost in Hong Kong'!
Lin Nan is right. We didn't consider it from the perspective of the Film Bureau before. We just thought that if we met the requirements and sold well at the box office, we would definitely get an extension..."
Wang Changtian was also a little disappointed. It was really a pity.
"The perspective of the Film Bureau?" Xu Zheng seemed to have suddenly realized something.
"These two movies were released at the same time and almost took up all the box office in the film market, so they can't be extended! The bureau must consider the overall situation and leave room for other movies in the industry..."
Xu Zheng was silent, because what Wang Changtian said was indeed right; not giving these two movies an extension key may not be in line with the rules, but it must be reasonable and in line with the overall situation!
...
Yunnan in October is hotter than the capital!
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the hotel in the car picked up by the crew, Ning Hao, Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen and others had just finished lunch.
All the crew members, including the filming team, the logistics team and the people of Golden Shield, are on standby at any time.
The relevant departments have also sent people to the crew to cooperate with relevant matters. In the evening, the first scene here will be filmed - sweeping the drug den.
"Director Lin Nan, we will cooperate and provide assistance for the filming of some scenes, you just need to direct."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
After shaking hands with the uniformed people, Lin Nan didn't know what to say, so he could only thank them sincerely.
The public security system, the border defense system... The people of Golden Shield are specifically responsible for liaison work with these departments!
"Zhu Yawen, when did you come? It's even earlier than Lin Nan and me?"
After Liu Yifei took her assistant to the room on the 16th floor to put her luggage, she returned to the open-air garden-style cafe on the 10th floor.
"I didn't go back to the capital yesterday, but flew here directly from the Magic City early in the morning!"
Zhu Yawen joked with a smile in a short-sleeved shirt.
He knew that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei rushed back to the capital in the middle of the night yesterday, so this morning's flight must be a later one.
"I also flew directly from Shanghai, which is convenient." Zhang Hanyu also nodded with a smile.
Liu Yifei sat next to Lin Nan, and a cup of coffee with milk was prepared for her.
"That is indeed convenient. Oh, by the way, when will the others come?"
"Li Bingbing will join the crew in two days, and Reba will be a little later."
Lin Nan took a big sip of iced coffee, which was refreshing!
The few people talked and laughed for more than an hour, and somehow they talked about Huang Xiaoming's wedding.
When the wedding was about to end last night, the leader even led people to dance for Yang Ying on the spot, which was very exciting and happy...
But now, he has to face the public opinion in a panic, which makes people sympathize! But he really did nothing wrong.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the crew officially entered the working state.
All the "group actors" began to put on makeup. This scene was about a large number of anti-drug special police destroying drug dens, which involved gunfights, explosions, mountain pursuits, and seized drugs...
And Lin Nan gave the role of the leader of the special police team to Chen Baoguo's son as promised.
This kind of role does not require too much acting skills. A serious and upright expression can fully meet the identity setting, and it will not appear a little abrupt, and there are many scenes where the face is shown!
After changing into sportswear for "outing", Liu Yifei followed Lin Nan and the crew into the mountains, well, that is, the forest park! The scenery is really good...
Hundreds of "real guns and live ammunition" special police are on standby;
In the wooden houses, various instruments, white powder, drug makers, and armed bandits are also ready, waiting to start!
Several shoulder-mounted cameras, cameras on jibs to shoot distant views, and several aerial drones in the air are also ready.
Liu Yifei stood on the grass, breathing fresh air, in a very good mood, with a smile on her face, she really came here for a trip.
Lin Nan sat under the tent next to him, in front of the monitor, and picked up the intercom:
"Ready, 3, 2, 1, action!"
The first scene in Yunnan officially started shooting.
The crew shot from 5:30 in the evening to more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and even changed the scene once in the middle, highlighting the length and difficulty of the encirclement and arrest process!
…………
On the morning of the 10th, Lin Nan enjoyed a "full mushroom feast" again; all kinds of mushrooms that he knew or didn't know were quite troublesome to eat, but they were really good.
The outside world was still a mess.
Because of the "century wedding" of Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, several official media have personally come out to express their opinions on the Internet.
However, fights and contradictory positions between official media are indeed rare and really "funny".
One side says that it is unnecessary to waste money and people, the other side says that it is not a problem if one does not steal or rob, and another side says that it is conducive to stimulating consumption...
Anyway, there are those who support, those who oppose, and those who are tolerant... but there is no criticism, because you can't criticize others.
As for the leader of the party involved, he has been forced to "disappear". He can't afford to offend him and can only hide!
"Of course the next vacation for the crew will be on the morning of the 16th, because Yifei and I are going back to the capital to attend the school anniversary on the 17th... Didn't you also receive an invitation from the school..."
Lin Nan received a call from Yue Jun. The latter was so busy that he even forgot about the school anniversary.
It was not until this morning that the company officially received "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "Get Out!" All box office records of "Tumor King" and "The Return of the Great Sage".
The main reason was that the amount of funds involved was too large, so the delay on the Rays side was quite long, it was 998 million!
"Don't worry about the bank. It's our business to add money to the account. One day we know that the company has money and we still think of ways to get loans...don't let them enter the company next time..."
Lin Nan said angrily that he had received several "harassing phone calls" throughout the morning. We are filming, what to eat? Missing that meal?
"Director Lin, what about tonight?"
Yue Jun asked the last sentence, and Lin Nan also responded.
"Yifei and I definitely can't go. If you want to go, you can go on behalf of the company."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had received invitations to Jiaxing's celebration cocktail party before, and it was tonight.
Originally, he thought that if the filming of the scenes in the capital had not been completed on the 10th, he could go and take a look. But on the 6th, he rejected the idea.
"Then let me go and take a look." Yue Jun said immediately.
Lin Nan couldn't help but smile and said nothing.
Yue Jun, a big man from Shandong, really has nothing to say. The artist he was optimistic about at the beginning was, after all, more popular than Lin Nan, his boss and senior.
"Whatever, remember to tell me about their financing situation tomorrow, I'm quite interested... However, I guess there will be reports on the Internet..."
"Okay, no problem." Yue Jun could hear the ridicule in Lin Nan's words and didn't take it seriously.
After hanging up the phone, Director Lin couldn't help but complain again:
"I know, I know you are more optimistic about her and appreciate her temperament; I don't know, I think you like her. Haha..."
"Who do you like?"
"like you."
Seeing Liu Yifei running over to eat while wearing a facial mask, Lin Nan immediately gave her a satisfactory answer.
"Hmph, you're so glib, I can't be bothered to pay attention to you."
The smile on her face betrayed Liu Yifei badly. She sat across from Lin Nan and picked up her chopsticks: "Are you ready?"
"You've already picked up the chopsticks, and you still ask if it's cooked? If not, will there be chopsticks?"
"Hehe, that's right. No, are you laughing at me?"
"No."
"You have!"
"I don't!"
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crew officially started work.
On the vast expanse of mountains and ridges, the view is endless and several helicopters take off and land.
The first male lead, played by Zhang Hanyu, stepped off a helicopter and met the second male lead, played by Zhu Yawen, who drove over cross-country for the first time.
As directors and producers, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also used the crew's "props" and flew up in a helicopter together.
Yunnan is indeed a very suitable place for filming and traveling at the same time. Anyway, Liu Yifei had a lot of fun, so it was treated as a different kind of honeymoon.
"Whenever I have free time, I will learn to fly a helicopter. It will be really cool!"
Liu Yifei winked playfully at Lin Nan, quite confident.
"Then we have to move to a bigger villa... at least build four or five helipads for you and buy two or three helicopters..."
Lin Nan was very understanding and immediately took over the conversation.
"Yeah, hehe..."
Liu Yifei, who is still a bit naive, is the cutest.
"I'm really impressed by you two. I heard Zhu Yawen say that you two like to show affection from time to time on the set. I still don't believe it. Today is an eye-opener!"
Ning Hao walked over from a distance and complained.
"I also heard that sister say that when we were in college, our Director Ning was also very considerate. Why do we dislike the 'yellow-faced woman' in our family now?"
Liu Yin Yang (art) Wei Qi Fei is online!
Lin Nan almost died laughing. He saw in Liu Yifei the figure of Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", in Teacher Chen's version!
Ning Hao was also speechless by the rebuke. After a few seconds, he retorted righteously: "Nonsense, when have I ever disliked him? Never."
"Uh~~~ So in your heart you admit that sister is a 'yellow-faced woman'?"
Liu Yifei took advantage of the victory and continued to dig holes, with a proud smile on her face.
"You...Lin Nan, take care of your wife!"
"I, Director Di Ning, have you ever seen that I can take care of her? Do you think too highly of me?"
"That's right, I have the final say in our family! Even on the set, I am also the producer, so I have the final say, hehehehe..." Miss Liu stopped pretending and smiled domineeringly.
"I tell you, Director Ning, don't bring trouble to yourself. You can't fight against them." Zhu Yawen, who was sitting on the front hood of the off-road vehicle in the distance, shouted with a loud smile.
"Okay, I accept it!"
After saying "harsh words" to Liu Yifei, Ning Hao glared at Lin Nan, "Shame on you, your husband is weak!"
"Hey, why are you still scolding yourself? Haha..."
The afternoon's scenes, which included the villain's first appearance and internal strife, were shot in one take after a break.
…
It’s half past seven in the evening, the capital.
For the film and television industry, Jiaxing's celebration cocktail party and dinner tonight is also a rare occasion to make friends with major companies and capital in the industry.
After all, there are so many film, television, entertainment, and media companies in the industry, but there are really only a few that can attract hundreds of millions of investments.
According to rumors, Jiaxing’s first round of financing is more than 100 million!
Yang Mi was wearing an evening dress, and she was accompanied by Zeng Jia, who was in professional attire. The two of them, along with all the artists from Jiaxing, greeted the guests in front of the red carpet, both looking beaming.
"Congratulations, Mimi."
"Thank you, Brother Chao, please come in quickly..."
"Long time no see, Director Guo..."
"Brother Xiao Ming, baby, welcome the bride and groom..."
"Teacher Xue..."
"Teacher Ho……"
…
A large number of first- and second-tier stars in the industry arrived one after another, including many well-known companies in the industry, including Huanrui, Xingmei, Taiyangchuanhe, Guangguang, Rongxinda, LeTV Pictures, Orange Sky, Mango...
"I knew it was you who came today."
Xue Xiaolu saw Yue Jun's figure and said with a smile.
"Professor Xue, Director Lin and Yifei are on the set, don't I have to come?"
Inside the venue, the lights were bright. Yue Jun walked to Xue Xiaolu.
Nortel is well-known in the film and television industry. Many people in the industry present today are from Nortel.
"Lu Yang didn't come? I remember that Yang Mi had acted in one of his movies, so he should have sent an invitation?"
"Since the completion of "Xiu Chun Dao 2", Director Lu has been traveling. He also enjoys life very much!"
…
In the venue, before the main show and dinner, there must be a social and entertainment session. Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, it was so lively.
In the distance, Yang Mi saw Yue Jun and Xue Xiaolu chatting.
"Director Lin and Yifei didn't come?"
"Didn't come. Our small financing celebration cocktail party may be nothing at all in the eyes of Director Lin and Liu Yifei. It's just an inconspicuous thing."
Zeng Jia's words were a little angry and unwilling.
"Something trivial?"
Yang Mi murmured, a little moved. How much effort did they spend on this investment? How long have you been waiting for? How many difficulties have been overcome...
Zeng Jia saw that Yang Mi, like herself, also had some emotional fluctuations.
"We have received an investment of 300 million yuan. Is this 300 million yuan more? Maybe a lot! But the 300 million yuan and the channel resources in the industry that Shangshi Pictures can provide are nothing in front of Director Lin!
For us, 300 million is a lot. For these 300 million investment and capital channels, we need to beg our grandfather and grandma;
But for Director Lin, Director Lin is not even needed. As long as Liu Yifei says a word, countless people in the circle will take the initiative to send money to him and send it over with a smile on his face. We can't compare... The movie "Wolf Warrior" she invested in earned nearly 300 million! "
This is reality. Zeng Jia told Yang Mi the naked reality, the insurmountable reality.
"Mr. Zeng, Sister Mi, the person in charge of Shangshi said they are ready and can start." The assistant walked over quickly and interrupted the conversation between Zeng Jia and Yang Mi.
"Jiajia, let's go. We are definitely incomparable to Director Lin and Yifei, but we also want to enter that circle!"
In an instant, the somewhat gloomy atmosphere just now was swept away, and Yang Mi became tenacious again.
"good."
The dinner scene was quiet because Zeng Jia, Yang Mi and people from Shangshi Pictures walked onto the stage.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the 'Jiaxing Media·Shangshi Pictures Financing Celebration Reception'..."
As the host, Zeng Jia spoke the opening remarks first, followed by Yang Mi.
She held the microphone, emotional and a little excited:
"I'm very happy to have come to this day. Jiaxing has officially embarked on the road of financing and listing... I am very grateful to Shangshi Pictures for giving Jiaxing Media a market valuation of 1.5 billion..."
"1.5 billion?"
"1.5 billion!"
…
Many people at the scene were attracted by the number "1.5 billion".
For a medium-sized film and television media company, this number is not small, and this is only the first round of financing!
Later, once Jiaxing is successfully listed, it will definitely not be difficult to achieve a market value of tens of billions.
There is even a chance to try to achieve a market value of 20 billion, just like Tangde Pictures; it will just be very difficult, after all, the bull market has been in the past four months.
“I am very happy to invest in Jiaxing Media. Jiaxing’s profit data is very eye-catching...
The amount of our investment this time is 300 million, of course, it must also involve profit requirements, that is, performance gambling terms..."
