Chapter 486 Mother-in-Law
Wang Changtian is obviously going to do something big!
Before the New Year's Eve, Guangguang announced a major notice to the outside world, namely: "Guangguang-Actor-New Director Plan"!
"Guangguang will provide special funds, teams, publicity, distribution and other full-scale support for mature actors who aspire to become directors."
"Those who are interested can send an email. And have a face-to-face discussion with Chairman Wang Changtian..."
Guangguang's actions have made the film and television industry uneasy. A large number of idealistic actors have looked at them sideways and are eager to try.
Everyone in the circle understands that Guangguang can only do this if it wants to break through, except for Chen Jiashang who can barely show off.
After all, the students who have just graduated from the directing department in the school are definitely not as good as those talented mature actors who want to transform. Xu Zheng is a living example!
And for newly graduated students, the training cost and difficulty are bound to be greater, which is not cost-effective.
"I used to take your car. When the group has a good project, I will call you then?"
Wang Changtian even called Lin Nan specifically to brag.
"Haha, then I'll wait for Mr. Wang's invitation for the project." Lin Nan agreed very straightforwardly.
Compared with several other companies, Guangguang does have the determination and courage to do practical things.
"By the way, how many people have contacted Mr. Wang now?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
This question seemed to touch Wang Changtian's heart, and the other party laughed loudly.
"Xu Zheng has made a good start. Many actors who had ideas before dared to speak up. Guangguang is willing to give opportunities, and they contacted me as soon as possible."
"Who are they?"
"Deng Chao, Huang Bo..."
Hearing these names, Lin Nan was not surprised at all. They are all first-line, idealistic and ambitious.
But talking about Deng Chao, it's interesting.
Lin Nan heard that the couple is still in conflict because of Jiang Yiyan's matter.
Two days ago, when Sun Li followed the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to Taiwan Province for promotion, she was photographed having dinner alone with He Rundong.
Although they are not destined to be husband and wife, their relationship is still very good. I just don't know how Deng Chao feels?
After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.
From what Wang Changtian said, he and Xu Zheng had a good talk, but he hadn't won yet. Xu Zheng was a man who would not give up until he saw the rabbit, and he was still comparing and choosing.
…………
The box office performance of "Cloud Atlas", which was cut by nearly 40 minutes, was indeed average, and the mainland audience said they couldn't understand it.
But even so, with the special effects in it, it still attracted a lot of audiences.
In the first four days of the weekend, it closed at 73 million. But this result is estimated to not last long.
Because there were too many cuts, the reputation was plummeting, and the daily box office was also decreasing.
……
In the morning, Lin Nan drove to the airport and picked up Old Lin.
After talking for a long time, it was Liu Yifei who finally persuaded Old Lin to come to the capital.
"Let's make it clear first. I will only stay for a few days. After New Year's Eve, I will go back..."
After getting in Lin Nan's car, Old Lin looked left and right, muttering:
"Your foreign car is not good, it is not as good as my jeep!"
Lin Nan smiled and agreed: "Yes, it is indeed not as good as your domestic jeep."
He didn't even dare to say that the car under his butt could buy ten domestic jeeps...
Lin Nan drove all the way to the villa. When he got home, there were already photos of him picking up the airport on the Internet.
"Director Lin Nan was at the Capital Airport today, suspected to pick up his father..."
The photo showed Lin Nan, tall and straight, wearing a down jacket, and an old man in ordinary clothes.
Not long after, many people in the circle called and asked if they could visit during the Spring Festival.
Lin Nan declined one by one.
"You dog, tell me honestly, how much did this house cost?"
As soon as he got off the car, looking at the villa, garden, lawn, and entertainment facilities on more than three acres of land, Old Lin asked fiercely.
Lin Nan was a little slow to react. After a moment, he lied:
"Well, several million. It's mainly because I bought it early and it has appreciated a lot now."
"Uncle, it's indeed several million."
Before Miss Liu arrived, a crisp voice floated over.
Lin Nan and Old Lin followed the voice and looked over at the same time.
They saw Liu Yifei, who was wearing home clothes, leading her honor guard and walked into the villa with a sweet smile on her face.
"Oh, girl, I haven't seen you for a year. You have lost weight. I brought braised beef and beef jerky. You can eat some later..."
Lin Nan was a little speechless. His father was not so happy to see him, and he didn't say what was in the snakeskin bag!
"Well, okay, I'll eat some later."
As he spoke, Liu Yifei took the initiative to step forward and wanted to help take out the things in the trunk.
"Don't move."
Old Lin stopped him immediately, and then glanced at Lin Nan, "What's wrong with you? You want a girl to do physical work?"
Okay, okay, Lin Nan can't afford to offend.
With Liu Yifei's smiling face and Lao Lin's "education", he picked up the bag and walked into the villa.
…………
The premieres of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Love in Seattle", "Together", "Village Evening", "The 101st Proposal", and other movies were held in three days.
This time, the premiere of "Journey to the West" was the largest, after all, it was Zhou Xingchi.
At the premiere of "Love in Seattle", Lin Nan and Liu Yifei just showed up and left.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Lin Nan's biological father is here. He only showed up and then left, probably to go back to accompany the old man.
The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at Lin Nan's place.
The gap in cultural level and vision between Lao Lintou and Liu Xiaoli was so great that they had almost nothing to talk about.
In the end, the two of them could only talk about their children and what happened when they were young.
Lin Nan miraculously discovered that the most embarrassing person was actually herself.
When Miss Liu was a child, she was really raised like a lady.
For a moment, Lin Nan was extremely depressed when faced with Liu Yifei's joking eyes!
…………
Just after New Year's Eve, Lao Lintou was thinking about going back, so he took the bed!
Lin Nan knew that this was just an excuse, he was just not used to the environment here.
In addition, the more important reason is that he does not want to disturb Lin Nan's life too much. This may be the father's love in the old father's heart.
"If you have to go back, then leave tomorrow. We will take you to a movie today."
"Watching a movie?" Old Lin was stunned for a moment, and finally agreed.
Lin Nan got a ticket for the hard-to-find IMAX 3D giant screen theater with just one phone call.
He and Liu Yifei took Lao Lintou to Wanda to watch "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
It was originally full of filial piety, but when he came out two hours later, Lao Lin was a bit nagging.
"This three-dimensional thing makes me dizzy."
"Tang Monk is in love? Isn't this a random photo shoot? How could it be done like this?"
…
Good guy, Lin Nan was shocked.
He also didn't expect that his own father would actually side with Teacher Six! Is this a generation gap?
Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's arm and blinked at him, wanting to laugh but holding back for fear of being impolite.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Nan couldn't stop Lao Lin anymore, so she had to buy a plane ticket for him.
Liu Xiaoli watched Lin Nan and Liu Yifei drive and send Lao Lintou to the airport.
"My mother-in-law, please come back. You don't need to send me off."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but smile, "When you get home, call Lin Nan and Qian Qian back."
"Okay, okay, it will drip, it will drip."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were sitting in the driver's seat and co-pilot, were also called Lao Lintou, which made them a little embarrassed.
…………
More than an hour later, outside the airport.
Liu Yifei was dealing with several reporters, while Lao Lintou pulled Lin Nan and gave instructions.
"I know it's never too early to get married in your profession, but you can't get married too late. Do you still want to play for a few more years?
You piece of shit, stop messing around, let me know you are messing around, be careful of your baby legs..."
Lin Nan could only keep nodding in agreement, laughing along, and ensuring that he behaves as he should...
After watching Lao Lintou enter the airport, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei felt relieved.
"We can go back, Sissi."
"Well, let's go." Liu Yifei nodded in a good mood.
Halfway.
Miss Liu suddenly asked: "What did uncle just say to you?"
"Tell me to get married soon."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei turned her head instantly, her ears turning red, "Who wants to marry you..."
"Huh? That's okay, I'll find someone else."
Lin Nan deliberately made a joke.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Liu Yifei suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Nan, puffed out her cheeks, and said fiercely.
That look in his eyes was so cute that he seemed to want to eat someone!
"Wasn't there a "mother-in-law" just now? I'm going to go find her daughter and ask..."
After hearing this, Miss Liu immediately stopped her activities and looked arrogant:
"Huh, that's not easy..."
…………
The first-day results of "Journey to the West" have been released, and they were a blast.
"The box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" on its first day was RMB 76.85 million, and it is expected to reach a box office of RMB 1 billion. Zhou Xingchi is still the same Zhou Xingchi..."
"Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Father Lin appeared at Wanda Cinema to watch "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"..."
""The Village Wanzhi Gets Better", starring Jing Tian and other 32 actors and stars, grossed 7.2 million on its first day."
"In the next four days, many domestic films will be released one after another, and the box office war is about to begin!"
…………
"Love in Seattle" is recognized by the industry as the only film after "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons".
Xue Xiaolu is a director with a box office of 300 million, and everyone will not forget this. "Love Is Not Blind" is still fresh in their memories.
"It will be released the day after tomorrow. If the box office really takes off, then our starting point will be really great."
Zeng Jia was a little nervous and excited.
Yang Mi won the first place among the four actresses, if the box office of "Love in Seattle" is more favorable.
Jiaxing’s opening was beyond imagination, it was so great!
"It depends on the release the day after tomorrow." Yang Mi also nodded, she was also looking forward to it.
"By the way, the company worked overtime and settled all the accounts. Including your last commercial performance remuneration for the New Year's Eve party, after tax has been deducted, it has been credited to your account."
Yang Mi nodded. This meant that 99% of the relationship with Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures had been severed. There was only a little more than a month left in the contract period.
"By the way, Director Lin and Liu Yifei, this is a meeting between their parents, right?"
Zeng Jia suddenly mentioned this matter, leaving Yang Mi at a loss.
"I guess so, congratulations to her."
"There should be no actress in the circle who doesn't envy her. She met Lin Nan in school and has been together till now..."
Yang Mi was a little absent-minded when she said this, and then she smiled helplessly. It's really incomparable.
"Fan Bingbing said something very well: 'Why marry into a rich family? I am a rich family'!"
"The principle is the same. You can also succeed on your own. You don't need to envy her..."
Zeng Jia said this last comforting word a little unconfidently, but still said it.
