Chapter 403 Encirclement and Suppression
In the morning, Lin Nan rushed to the company to watch the finished film of "Passengers".
Many employees were chattering about something.
A group of people became more and more excited, and even analyzed whether it was true or false with great interest.
The working atmosphere of Lin Nan Film has always been good. As long as it does not affect work efficiency, Yue Jun never cares how they chat and relax. Lin Nan also supports this.
This is also one of the reasons why employees have a strong sense of belonging to the company. Of course, salary and benefits are more important.
"What gossip are you talking about again?"
Lin Nan walked out of the office with the footage of "Passengers" and asked casually.
These people always have access to first-hand gossip news in the entertainment industry.
"Director Lin, you don't know yet? Yes, they are too low-level and can't reach your sight..."
"There are big teams on Weibo, a group of first- and second-tier actors and stars PK one, which started last night. It's like a group fight, so lively..."
...
A group of people are talking to each other, and Lin Nan understands it.
He took the elevator to the Tiangong Colors floor, where the employees were more normal, discussing technology...
Turning on the computer, Lin Nan looked at the news that had been arguing online and in the industry.
This should be a rare "encirclement and suppression incident" in the entertainment industry, a group of people against one person.
Last night at around nine o'clock, an "informed person" posted a Weibo, saying that in the crew of "Guns and Bullets", a male actor and a female actor had a dispute and beat the female actor.
The male actor was also arrogant, unreasonable, and bullied the female actor. In the end, the male actor was directly named: Yin Xiaotian.
This Weibo was forwarded by the "party", the actress Bian Xiaoxiao, less than ten minutes after it appeared.
And she started from the moral level, "tearfully" accusing Yin Xiaotian, crying about how she was beaten by pulling her hair, bullied, and insulted...
Finally, she "sublimated" it a little, reminding all girls and female compatriots to protect themselves when going out to work.
From last night to now, the two sides have not stopped posting Weibo, every ten minutes and half an hour, there is one, and they have not slept all night!
As of this morning, this has become the headline news in the entertainment industry, and it is very popular.
Many first- and second-tier actors and stars personally participated, but 99% of them stood on the side of the woman.
The man almost became the target of public criticism.
No matter how he and his agency reconstructed the scene, saying that there was a surveillance video to prove his innocence, that he did not hit anyone, and that it was the woman who scolded his parents. But no one believed it, and there was no way to defend himself...
Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh in amazement. These people seemed to have seen it with their own eyes at the scene, and they all swore solemnly.
Du Chun: "I have the evidence and have seen the surveillance video. I feel ashamed to have such a friend. Please apologize immediately..."
Li Chen: "I have worked with Bian Xiaoxiao and believe in her character! I called her yesterday and just want to say don't cry, girl."
Bao Jianfeng: "Director, please find me for future filming. I don't hit people and I don't play big cards..."
Jia Nailiang: "...It's completely true that he hit people. My classmate cried and cried heartbreakingly on the phone. Is no one willing to come out to uphold justice? Then I will do it. I will be the cannon fodder!"
Li Xiaolu: "Liang, kind people have sharp eyes, just like you and me."
Afterwards, Wang Luodan, Xue Jianing and others also supported him.
Whether it was "icing on the cake" or "blindly following the crowd", in a very short period of time, a large number of first- and second-tier artists expressed their opinions and followed the woman.
...
The most jumpy thing was Yang Zai, who actually posted a blurry and unclear screenshot of the surveillance video and directly tagged Yin Xiaotian, asking him to apologize to the woman.
A large number of netizens and fans of artists watched, and more than 80% of them followed the stars to condemn Yin Xiaotian.
Only a few netizens shouted that Yang Zai should release the video to see what the truth is!
As a result, Yang Zai's reply was very mean, "I have the obligation to mediate, but I have no obligation to post the video!"
...
Lin Nan spent 20 minutes to read all these messed up things. There was also a video of the woman crying in an interview.
To describe it in one sentence: This is just like besieging "criminals".
The man's side is also miserable. There are really few people in the circle who support him. There are only Nie Yuan, Gao Xixi, Han Xi, and Yang Zi. He ran to the crew to ask for surveillance video, but was turned away.
"Alas, is your brain rusty? Just call the police! Who is right and who is wrong, just wait for the result!"
Lin Nan couldn't help but leave a message in the comment area, using his own Weibo account.
At the moment he commented, the two sides were still fighting, which was a waste of time.
...
The length of the film "Passengers" reached two hours.
Lin Nan and Yue Jun finished watching it quickly. He felt that the beginning of the movie still needed some adjustments.
"The hibernation capsule shot of the guest actor should be placed at the beginning of the movie.
The shot starts with Mr. Han and ends with me and Liu Yifei, which takes a total of three and a half minutes.
This period is also the time to play the cast list, and the rest does not need to be changed."
Lin Nan's small change can be re-corrected by the editor in two hours.
"Then I will send someone to send it to the Film Bureau in the afternoon?"
Lin Nan nodded at Yue Jun, "Okay. In addition, those people should ask quite frequently, right?"
"Haha, of course. When the filming was just finished, many brands asked about the film ads. There are only a few directors in China who are treated like this!"
"Then let's select, as usual, only three."
Unlike Feng Xiaogang, in a movie, there can be more than 20 films with film ads and product placements. Even a film like "The Great Earthquake" has product placements.
Unlike him, Lin Nan only accepts patch ads and strictly limits the number.
So even though there are only three, it is completely worth the 20 or 30 ads of Feng Xiaogang, and it is more expensive!
...
The Oscars will be awarded in the next two days, and various filmmakers will gather one after another.
Tom sent Lin Nan a few photos, which were taken at the banquet with his big belly.
The key is that two of the women are people Lin Nan knows, Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing.
The former is one of the 1,000 judges of the Oscars, and the latter was invited to attend the red carpet this year because of "Resident Evil 5".
The two were held by Fat Tom's waists, smiling, without any displeasure.
Looking at these photos, Lin Nan didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He felt that Tom had taken advantage of him and was bullying him, as if Crystal Pictures was owned by this guy. He was very comfortable!
…
Last time, Lou Ye cursed the Film Bureau because his first script after the ban was lifted was rejected.
The result was that his script was stuck for half a year.
I don't know who gave him a hint, but he finally gave in. The script was approved these two days.
The invitation to the launch conference was sent to Lin Nan.
But he didn't have much friendship with this guy, so he asked people to thank him and declined.
However, I heard that not many people went to support him, even Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai and others, who were also directors of award-winning films, found reasons not to go. This makes people doubt the popularity of this director Lou, it's really not very good.
………
Xu Zheng is about to complete the preparations for "Lost in Thailand". There are only a few days left before the filming starts in early March.
Lin Nan just parked his car in the garage of the villa when his cell phone rang.
He muttered: "Wang Zhonglei? It seems that I haven't had any contact with him recently..."
"Hello?"
"Director Lin, "Lost in Thailand" is about to start filming, right? If there is anything I can help you with, please tell me..."
Lin Nan felt a little puzzled. What does this guy want to do?
The only connection between this movie and Huayi is Wang Baoqiang, but didn't Wang Baoqiang leave two months ago when his contract expired? !
"Mr. Wang, just say what you want to say. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Zhonglei on the other side also got straight to the point.
"It's about that thing on the Internet. Director Lin, can you please not get involved? It's just a small matter between artists..."
"What did I get involved in?"
Lin Nan's tone was a little sharp. Is this guy here to cause trouble? He just said things that I couldn't understand.
"It's about the "Guns and Bullets" crew..."
Wang Zhonglei said it very tactfully. But Lin Nan felt that this guy was a bit too much. He had nothing to do with it, but he was still meddling in his affairs.
After casually sending Wang Zhonglei away, Lin Nan went to Liu Yifei with a curse.
…
"You were amazing today. One message inspired a lot of people in the circle."
Miss Liu was wearing a white sweater on the upper body and slightly loose jeans on the lower body. She curled up lazily and leaned on the sofa.
She was chewing fruit while browsing the news. The curve of her hips was exposed, and her chubby feet were very conspicuous...
After seeing Lin Nan, Liu Yifei smiled and joked.
"What's wrong? Let me see."
Lin Nan walked over and took the laptop from Miss Liu's arms.
Well, he finally knew why Wang Zhonglei contacted him and said such a weird thing.
Lin Nan's comments in the morning have been followed by many artists in the circle.
All of them were: "Director Lin is right, call the police. Who is right and who is wrong, just wait for the result!"
Even the man, one of the parties involved, tagged Lin Nan, thanked him, and said he would call the police.
However, there are still many people who are sarcastic, such as those artists of Huayi. To tell the truth, the woman is the victim, and calling the police can't change this fact.
"See, you are very powerful, you have added the "call the police faction" to the two opposing groups..."
Liu Yifei lay on Lin Nan's shoulder, watching the news together, laughing heartlessly. No need to think, it is estimated that he has stayed at home for another day, either reading gossip news or playing online games!
Suddenly, Lin Nan seemed to understand something. He didn't think too much before, but now he reacted.
"No wonder Wang Zhonglei called me. Aren't most of these people Huayi artists?"
Lin Nan took a glance, Du Chun, Li Chen, Jia Nailiang... Xue Jianing...
These are basically Huayi's contracted artists. Even if they are not Huayi's artists, they are all Beijing actors who have a good relationship with Huayi.
Of course, Yang Zai, the troublemaker, is an exception.
"They are all second-tier and hovering at the threshold of the first-tier. Are they competing and tripping each other up? Kill one and there will be one less opponent!"
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. Yes, that's the truth!
Many people may think it's just coincidental gossip, but in fact there are not so many coincidences.
A third-tier female artist and a second-tier male actor who is standing outside the threshold of the first-tier are fighting, and both sides are profitable.
“These guys are so cruel!”
