That year Huayu

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, written and directed by director Xue Xiaolu, the love movie "Love in Seattle 2" is about to start casting."

"In the morning, a press conference was held in Beijing for the 3D fantasy series "I May I Ask Where the Road Is" and the official project was announced. The original cast of "Journey to the West" reunited."

"It is reported that "Where is the Road" is the first time to appear on the big screen in the 30 years since the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" was launched. The film will be divided into three parts, co-produced by China and the United States, and distributed globally... It aims to reshape "Journey to the West" "Journey to the West".

"Hollywood film giant Paramount Pictures, as one of the main investors in the film series "Where's the Road", will be responsible for the production of all special effects shots for this film trilogy, including full set of real-life motion capture, real-life CG, etc. Technical Support."

"The popular idol superstar Wu Yifan attended the press conference and may play the role of Little White Dragon."

…

In the morning, news about the project of a "blockbuster series" spread online.

In just half an hour, this piece of movie information became a sensation on the entire Internet, dominating the film and television entertainment headlines and hot searches.

At the same time, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" is also holding a wrapping party.

Although many media reporters came to the scene, they were far less numerous than those from "Dare I Ask Where the Road Is?"

After all, they are the original cast members of "Journey to the West", Teacher Liu, Teacher Chi, Teacher Ma, and Teacher Liu.

In addition, there are also film giants such as Paramount Pictures and a large number of official media and industry insiders. The specifications of the press conference are simply ridiculously high.

After Lin Nan dealt with several reporters, he walked in the direction of Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Wu Gan, and Xie Nan.

I saw them chattering, as if they were chatting about some interesting topic, and they were all laughing from ear to ear.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know what he plays?" Liu Yifei pulled Lin Nan and teased Wu Dan.

"He plays Tang Monk." Shu Chang chuckled.

"Keep your voice down, the crew is currently casting, and it hasn't been announced yet."

Wu Wanheheyile reminded him hurriedly.

"I am Princess Iron Fan." Xie Nan couldn't help laughing and revealed his identity.

"Actually, the crew has also contacted me. I will audition in two days."

Tang Yan added with a smile. She once stayed in Chengtian and has contacts and connections with the Hong Kong circle.

Lin Nan didn't know what to say as she listened to several people talking to each other. He wished them good luck.

Immediately, he changed the topic again:

"Just now a reporter asked me what I thought of Teacher Liu's speech at the press conference of "May I Ask Where Is the Road" an hour ago? It was related to "Westward Journey 3"."

"Huh? Shelling?"

"What did you say this time?"

"Hey, as expected..."

As expected, everyone was mentally prepared, knowing that Teacher Six would have to come out and "say a few words" sooner or later.

"Teacher Six asked Liu Zhenwei to immediately stop blaspheming "Journey to the West" and appealed that it should not pass the trial. He said that there is only one Sun Wukong in the world and hoped that the art of Sun Wukong would let a hundred flowers bloom, but it was definitely not a joke or a spoof.

It is said that our generation only has the obligation to inherit, spread and carry forward famous works, and has no right to make fun of or parody the works of our ancestors. Then I want everyone to look forward to their series of movies "Where Is My Way", saying that this is..."

Lin Nan briefly recounted what Teacher Six said at the press conference.

I have to say that Teacher Six was a lot more reserved this time, probably because there were many foreign and official media present.

"The press conference over there isn't over yet. Maybe Teacher Six is ​​still firing?" Lin Nan added with a smile.

"Then how did you answer the reporter just now?"

Liu Yifei looked at her director Lin with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"I said the most I can do is buy a ticket and go to the cinema to watch it. How else can I watch it?"

"Director Lin, you are really amazing! Haha..."

"Are you answering the wrong question? They are asking you what you think of Teacher Six's attitude."

"It's really hard for someone like Director Lin to speak casually. It can easily be deliberately distorted and interpreted by the media, and then reported with labels of support or opposition."

Xie Nan is indeed a professional media person, and he hit the nail on the head.

…

The finals banquet is being held lively, and the news from the outside world is constantly being refreshed.

After Zhang Yimou, the news that Guo Jingming purchased 5 million shares of LeTV Pictures was announced by both parties, once again making many people in the industry envious.

Because the former also enjoys the "internal price", which is 1 yuan per share.

At this time, the stock price of LeTV, the parent company of LeTV Pictures, was already 179 yuan.

In the eyes of many professionals, this number is very "morbid"!

But in the eyes of the film and television industry, since the parent company is so powerful, the listing journey of its subsidiary LeTV Pictures will definitely be smooth.

Not only that, in the perception of a large number of insiders, LeTV Pictures is a giant ship in the industry that can be promoted to capital, just like Huayi when it was not listed!

At this moment, many artists who had been contacted by LeTV began to waver.

Xue Xiaolu's call came to Jiaxing.

When Yang Mi received the call, Zeng Jia was telling her about announcements and drama appointments, and several artists from the company were also nearby.

"Teacher Xue?"

Yang Mi's voice was full of expectation, Zeng Jia turned around and motioned for others to leave the conference room first.

"Lin Nan's company has no objection to the casting. You are still cast in "Love in Seattle 2"..."

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia suddenly became extremely passionate, "Thank you, Teacher Xue. Don't worry, I will not let you down."

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, and don't be in a hurry to thank me. There are some things I want to tell you clearly in advance, and there are three chapters."

Xue Xiaolu's tone suddenly became much more serious, which made Yang Mi and Zeng Jia's hearts twitch.

"Teacher Xue, please tell me."

"Lin Nan and I agreed to continue using you, but you must devote yourself to the film wholeheartedly. During the filming of the film, you cannot skip the film or leave the group...

Even if there is a reason why you have to take leave and leave the group, you have to explain it clearly to me, but I don’t want anything to deceive me. I know you are very popular and busy now...

To put it bluntly, everyone on the crew of "Search" knew that you didn't do the scene during the filming of "Seattle", probably because Lin Nan beat you up. But in the past two years, you have made this old habit again, and it has gotten worse.

That's all I have to say, see if you can do it, and give me an answer now to avoid problems later. "

Yang Mi frowned, her expression not very good, and so did Zeng Jia.

"I promise not to leave the group during the filming." In a moment, Yang Mi made a decision.

"Mimi?" Zeng Jia said subconsciously.

"Sure?"

"Teacher Xue, I'm sure."

“Then come over and sign the contract in the next two days.

As a teacher from Nortel, I still want to say something to you: you used to have great potential, but now you are a little too impetuous and you need to calm down and settle down..."

The phone was hung up. Yang Mi was touched for a moment, but Zeng Jia was completely opposite.

"I originally thought "Love in Seattle 2" was a big cake and a good resource, and I still think so now. But I have to stay on the set for two months, isn't that inappropriate?

The company is at a critical time and needs earnings data. Mimi, why don't you find an excuse to come back when there's no part in the scene. Then go..."

Yang Mi shook her head and interrupted Zeng Jia:

"Didn't Director Chen have a long memory that time? He promised not to interfere with the scene, but he still committed the crime? If it really needs to be banned, Director Lin can definitely do it more thoroughly than Director Chen.

Furthermore, Director Lin and Teacher Xue can give me this opportunity, which is already a help to me. It’s also very helpful to the company, isn’t it? Although he didn’t agree to invest in us at first. "

Zeng Jia was speechless when she heard this, because Lin Nan could indeed block Yang Mi and herself easily.

"Well, I understand. I will reject these announcements... I hope that you will be of sufficient benefit to us by taking over this movie."

…………

The domestic film market in May continued the melee pattern of April; however, the most anticipated films have not yet been released.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron", "The Devil Slayer", "Tomorrowland"..."Manchester by the Sea"...if you count them in detail, it seems that there are really no Chinese-language films that are good enough!

While staying at home in the afternoon, Lin Nan received a call from Guangguang.

"Manchester by the Sea" will be released on the 29th, and the first-day screening rate will be 30% to 33%.

The theater chain really gave a certain degree of support in terms of the number of films and did not make empty promises. Otherwise, a literary and artistic feature film would not have such a high filming rate.

"Zhu Yawen seems to be talking about some new drama again. I saw him posting a message in the group chat."

Liu Yifei walked out of the kitchen wearing short sleeves, hot pants and flip-flops.

She was holding a cut fruit plate in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. Her long, fair and tender legs were very eye-catching.

Lin Nan nodded, then looked away and continued his business. He looked through the address book on his phone and made a call.

Miss Liu came forward curiously, "Are you going to throw it away?"

"Director Lin?"

The speaker on the phone was on, and the voice from the other side was very loud.

"How much is it today?"

Having worked together for several years, the other end of the phone certainly knew what Lin Nan was asking.

"At 61 yuan and 8 cents, Huayi's market value is approaching 85 billion."

When he said this, the person on the other end of the phone was a little excited. Because this is truly a leading company among listed companies in the domestic film and television industry.

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, smiled and nodded to her, indicating that she was about to throw it away.

"There are nearly 20 days until the end of this month. Please help me completely clear my position before the end of the month."

"What? Complete clearance?" Hearing this, the other end of the phone suddenly exclaimed.

"Director Lin, are you sure you want to clear the warehouse?"

"Sure. You don't need to sell it all at once, just clear it before the end of the month. What, is it difficult to go to the secondary market?"

Lin Nan asked back, without any displeasure in his tone. The reason why he chose to go to the secondary market was to maximize profits!

"No. It's a bull market now, and Huayi is the leader in the film and television sector. It has been rising in the past two years, and there are countless investors pursuing it. We can completely clear our positions from the secondary market."

"Then clear it. After the matter is settled, I will give you a red envelope."

"Well, thank you, Director Lin. From tomorrow on, I will start helping you..."

In just two minutes, Lin Nan's 7.08 million shares of Huayi stock were decided where to go - liquidate and sell them all!

"Sissi, this time you will take the blame."

"ah?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then realized it, puffing out her cheeks and complaining about Lin Nan:

"Only a fool would believe you. The wedding doesn't cost that much."
