Chapter 309 Spring Festival, 1942

Lin Nan overlooked one thing.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are different, especially in terms of film resources.

Miss Liu's resources are the best among actresses of the same age in the circle, and many people envy her.

There are also a large number of actresses who hope to repeat Liu Yifei's path, but it is difficult to find resources.

Now that she has encountered a movie "Legend of Hongmen Feast" with an investment of hundreds of millions, it is impossible for Yang Mi not to be moved.

And not all actresses can have the mentality of Liu Yifei. Lin Nan said that this is a bad movie, and she decisively rejected it.

Sometimes, for young actresses, whether the movie is bad or not may be secondary considerations. Raising the status and brushing up the resume are the most important things!

Lin Nan thought for a while and looked at Zeng Jia.

"Are you sure you have considered it and want to take this movie?"

"Yes, Director Lin, we have thought about it." Zeng Jia nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, since the decision has been made, I will not say anything more. If you have any questions, please feel free to find Director Yue..."

Seeing Lin Nan nodded in agreement, Zeng Jia immediately relaxed.

"Thank you, Director Lin. I will finalize it with them as soon as possible."

…………

As the New Year's Eve approaches, the entertainment industry becomes more and more lively.

Stars and artists are vying to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, and press releases are coming one after another.

Lin Nan specially found someone to get a few tickets with good seats, thinking that he could take Old Lin in to have a look...

"What are you looking at? What's there to see?

I can sleep when I'm tired watching in the house, and I can sleep when I'm tired watching on the scene?"

This full-blooded look when he was talking to people made Lin Nan feel at ease.

"We agreed to come, why did you change your mind again?"

"Forget it, forget it. There have been a lot of people visiting me recently, so I'm too lazy to look for you."

Hearing this, Lin Nan really couldn't refute it. This is indeed Old Lin's character.

"Are they still those people?"

"Yes, if you don't know, you would think I'm a retired worker from the film studio. They give the most things..."

Lin Nan knew that his father was talking about Xiying. In the past few years, this has been the case almost every year, so it's hard to refuse.

Since he couldn't persuade her any more, Lin Nan didn't force her anymore.

After telling her to take care of her health for a long time, she was still criticized for being nagging. This was speechless.

Old Lin suddenly changed his mind and didn't come, so the tickets were wasted.

Lin Nan didn't want to go to the Spring Festival Gala anymore, so Liu Yifei was even less likely to join in the fun.

…………

Although New Year's Eve was coming soon.

But Liu Yifei still slept in.

Early in the morning, Lin Nan was on the phone with Zhang Yi and others in the yard.

The crew of Pacific Rim had to spend New Year's Eve in Hollywood this year.

Lin Nan asked Tom to take Zhang Yi and others to visit the award season parties and cocktail parties.

"We went to the PR cocktail parties for The Social Network and The King's Speech, which were much more professional than the premieres in China..."

Zhang Yi kept talking like a person who had never seen the world.

But there is one funny thing. His foreign language level is almost zero. Jing Tian has to act as an interpreter many times...

What Lin Nan didn't expect was that the filming progress of "Pacific Rim" was not only not behind, but also slightly ahead.

I can only say that during the first half of the filming, the domestic team worked overtime, which was really amazing!

"So, it will be almost done in ten days?"

"Yes, the Warner team estimates that it can be finished around February 15th, and we can still rush back to eat Yuanxiao, haha."

"Then I'll welcome you when I come back. By the way, I'll wish them a happy new year."

"No problem, Director Lin."

"Pacific Rim" is a large-scale co-production released worldwide. To a certain extent, it is more important than the previous "Inception". Lin Nan has to pay attention to it from time to time...

After talking to Zhang Yi on the phone, Lin Nan also looked at the news on the Internet. Sure enough, it has been reported.

"Overseas news, Pacific Rim will be officially completed during the Spring Festival."

"Pacific Rim, a co-production blockbuster with an investment of 160 million US dollars, is likely to be released in the second half of the year or at the end of the year!"

…………

When it was almost noon, Liu Yifei finally packed up.

It was better today, with a light-colored down jacket on the upper body, jeans and short boots on the lower body, but her face was still very conspicuous.

"I have been waiting for you all morning, and it was agreed to be 9 o'clock?"

Lin Nan said with a slightly teasing tone.

Liu Yifei smiled and said a little rogue:

"I was confused and forgot about it, but it doesn't affect our shopping."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei pulled Lin Nan up and walked towards the garage...

The entertainment reporters finally caught someone today.

Other big stars were busy with announcements, either this New Year's Eve party or that performance recording.

Only Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were different.

One is a big director, the other is a top actress, just wandering around outside, eating, drinking, shopping, having a great time!

…………

Yang Mi is very happy now, because the company has agreed to let her take on this "Legend of Hongmen Feast".

"Didn't they say when to sign the contract?"

"It can be signed after the Spring Festival."

Zeng Jia replied. This is the reply she just received, after all, today is New Year's Eve.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Yang Mi was relieved.

She believes that this "Legend of Hongmen Feast" will definitely take her career to the next level.

But thinking of the news about Pacific Rim in the media, Yang Mi felt a little uncomfortable again. That was a movie that cost 160 million US dollars...

...

Feng Xiaogang rarely showed off on Weibo.

"This year, my two movies have made 1.1 billion yuan in box office. I am a little tired. Next, I will lie down on the credit book and have a good sleep. See you next year!"

A large number of actors and artists in the industry liked and left comments, all of which were nice words.

The comments of many netizens were interesting.

"Director Jiang Wen can only sleep 70% full, and Director Lin Nan may have to sleep twice!"

The media with good intentions immediately exposed the performance of Lin Nan Pictures' four movies in the whole year.

"The Thief" was directed and written by him, "The Swordsman" and "Lost on Journey" were written and produced by him, and "33 Days" was produced by him.

The box office of the four movies added up, and the domestic performance alone reached 1.5 billion!

If the overseas performance of "The Thief" is included, wow, it's nearly 2 billion!

No one talked about this before, but now it was reported, and the circle was instantly agitated.

When Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei back, the phone kept ringing.

Miss Liu sat in the passenger seat and answered the phone one by one.

"Why are you joining in the fun? He's driving."

Before Zhu Yawen could start teasing, Liu Yifei said something back.

"I just came to congratulate. The total box office of domestic movies last year was only about 10 billion, and he alone accounted for one-seventh of it..."

After wishing each other a happy new year with Zhu Yawen, Miss Liu hung up.

She was still very happy, after all, today's calls were all to compliment Lin Nan.

…………

The Spring Festival Gala will really be unwatchable in two years.

Zhao Benshan couldn't stand it anymore, and took a group of apprentices to perform "My Deskmate", which completely lost the depth of the previous skits.

……

I woke up from a dream one night, and it was the morning of the first day of the new year.

Lin Nan said that Feng Xiaogang's Weibo yesterday couldn't have no follow-up.

This guy posted a new Weibo in the middle of the night.

"Last year, because of the box office, everyone said that "The Great Earthquake" was a commercial film in the name of a disaster film, and many colleagues were very dissatisfied.

I thought about it for a long time and decided to make a truly thought-provoking "movie" in the new year. This time, I will not introduce other investors..."

Many people in the industry paid attention to Feng Xiaogang's Weibo, but they couldn't guess what movie it was for a while.

Lin Nan had some guesses...

Liu Yifei got up very early today because she was going to watch a movie.

Wearing a knitted hat, a scarf, and a mask on her head, she was wearing simple casual clothes. It was really hard to tell who she was. Only her temperament could not be hidden!

"Oh, you are still talking about me, look at you."

Liu Yifei said, and then turned back and took a black mask for Lin Nan.

"Okay, I'm a director, and I don't often appear in the camera..."

"No, ordinary people can't recognize you, but the media can find you at a glance."

Helplessly, Lin Nan accepted Liu Yifei's dressing up, with a mask and a hat.

…

It’s a bit abrupt to be honest that Liu Dehua and Gong Li star in an urban romance film.

Although the quality of this movie is OK, the routine is a bit old-fashioned. After all, it is adapted from the Hollywood movie "100% Men" more than ten years ago.

When Liu Dehua plays "slutty", he is still quite "charming".

The way he looks slutty in fishnet stockings and silk stockings really makes Lin Nan unable to bear to watch.

Thinking of the Liu Dehua he usually sees, Lin Nan has goose bumps.

Liu Yifei is watching it very seriously and laughs non-stop.

"Look, even Brother Hua has better taste in choosing silk stockings than you..."

Lin Nan couldn't help but tease and talked about Liu Yifei's pink silk stockings that time.

"Humph, then you still..."

"Shh, keep your voice down..."

…………

The two movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year are "I Know Women's Heart" and "Magic Couple".

In Lin Nan's opinion, these two movies are probably difficult.

The only disadvantage of the former is that it is old-fashioned, which is also the most serious disadvantage, and the two leading actors are too expensive, so it is very difficult to make a profit.

The latter is simply a bad movie, with an old and rotten routine. The audience's evaluation is too exaggerated. After watching ten minutes, you can completely guess what the plot will be...

...

Huayi announced Feng Xiaogang's new film plan.

It was just as Lin Nan guessed.

"Director Feng wants to make a real movie, a movie that touches the soul.

To this end, Huayi has bought the copyright of the novel "Revisiting 1942".

We will invest 200 million to support Director Feng Xiaogang to complete this historical disaster blockbuster..."

1942!

Lin Nan saw Huayi's announcement. The script of this movie has not even started yet. It has just been approved.

The eyes of the film industry have all been cast. Many people in the industry know this novel. It is indeed a rare good book.

But when it comes to making a movie, the filmmakers who have had this idea finally gave up the idea.

As for the reason, it is too miserable...

The word "bitter" is not enough to describe the content of this book!
