Chapter 587 Weibo Night, Berlin and Oscar Nominations

"It's chaos so quickly?"

Lin Nan heard the incredible news. The big dog brother had just finished his first seven days, and the pony started fighting among himself.

"Now it has spread in the circle that Pony Pictures general manager Zhong Lifeng, after being interviewed by the group's board of directors on the 3rd of the month, finally submitted her resignation and has decided to leave."

Yue Jun said with a sigh on his face.

Who doesn't know that Zhong Lifang is a well-known strong woman in the industry, and she and Li Ming have a tacit understanding of each other, and the latter is kind to her.

The two of them have allowed Xiaoma, a "family-owned" ship, to demonstrate its eye-popping strength and record in industry competition.

"The timing is interesting, after the first seven..."

Lin Nan murmured softly, is this the last friendship and the last farewell? !

"What a shitty board of directors. Investment institutions don't interfere in the management and operation of the company. The board of directors is full of people named Li. They have always been opposed to handing over power to outsiders.

Now that the chairman is gone, how can Zhong Lifang continue to be in power? But this is too hasty! In the eyes of many film and television companies in the industry, Xiaoma is left with a bunch of idiots. "

Lin Nan nodded, agreeing with Yue Jun's view.

Except for fools, no one would believe that Zhong Lifang left voluntarily.

After all, she is indispensable for Xiao Ma's development to his current size. Which "parent" would abandon his "child" just because he wants to?

"Rather than being kicked out, you really should quit on your own initiative. This way you can retain a bit of dignity for yourself and be able to leave with dignity."

Suddenly, Lin Nan thought of something, and he looked at Yue Jun, "No one is poaching her?"

"How is it possible? Huayi, Bona, Enlight, and StarMei contacted them right away, but that person firmly rejected them all and said he would leave the film and television industry temporarily."

"He is still a very particular person." Lin Nan clicked his tongue with emotion.

…………

As early January comes to an end, several popular movies in the Lunar New Year season have basically come to an end.

"Private Customization" has just reached the 700 million box office threshold, and the daily box office is only around 1 million.

Looking back now, I found that whether Huayi had obtained the extension key before or not, it did not seem to affect the final result.

Because "Private Order" will definitely miss the 800 million box office, and it will be useless if it is released for more than half a month or a month.

"New Police Story 2013", starring Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Ye and others, also received mixed reviews and made 510 million in 18 days.

At this time, the daily income was still four to five million, which was the result of the "special care" of the relevant departments.

Lin Nan had to admit that Wanda's invitation to invest in "New Police Story 2013" was indeed a profitable business and a favor.

At this time, there are less than 20 days left before New Year's Eve at the end of the month. This period of time is a rare "steal" time for other Lunar New Year movies.

Liu Yifei took two invitations and a seating chart and ran to Lin Nan in confusion.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to tell Liu Yifei.

"Oops, I was so excited those days that I forgot to tell you. I promised Director Cao that we would go to Weibo Night together. Haha..."

Lin Nan took the invitation letter from Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

"Because of you, I have to temporarily ask someone to negotiate with the brand to adjust the schedule, otherwise time will be very tight."

Miss Liu puffed out her cheeks and looked a little angry. However, Lin Nan had already promised to others, so she would definitely give priority to cooperating with Lin Nan.

"I just went to sit around and watch performances and stuff. Director Cao also asked me if I wanted any awards. You and I can choose at will. But I refused. We two don't need those 'fancy' awards."

Lin Nan said with a smile, looking at Liu Yifei who was smiling, bulging her cheeks and rolling her eyes, she was really cute.

"Humph, I'll forgive you this time. Next time, you must tell me immediately. The assistant was shocked."

While Liu Yifei was talking, she didn't forget to hit Lin Nan with her fist, so lightly that she didn't feel anything.

"Say sorry to her for me."

Lin Nan said softly. It's really a bit embarrassing if it affects other people.

It was inevitable that the assistant would be frightened. Her boss suddenly arranged an event, but she didn't know about it. If she didn't do it well, she would lose her job!

…………

Guo Jingming went from being a writer of novels to becoming a director across industries. The high box office of his two "Tiny Times" movies undoubtedly gave the industry a "good start".

No, another one is here too.

Bona and several other companies joined hands with Han Han to directly hold a media conference, and the news quickly spread in the film and television circles and on the Internet.

"After Guo Jingming, the young writer Han Han crosses over into the industry for the first time and will direct his big-screen debut: "We Will See You Again" written by himself."

"Newcomer director Han Han said that the movie "The Future" will officially start casting from now on, and will use real acting and capable actors as much as possible... It is suspected of mocking "Tiny Times"."

…

Regardless of what fans think, the film industry and the Internet are getting excited again.

"With years of experience in art, photography, and acting, it's reasonable for them to change careers and become directors, but a novel writer wants to be a film director right away? Will his debut film really be directed by himself? Can they direct it?"

"Another 'Guo Jingming', another 'director' targeting the 'fan market'!"

"Isn't the entry barrier too low? Can anyone be a director, whether it's a human or a ghost?"

…

Like Guo Jingming, Han Han also has a large fan base.

Therefore, the films he makes as a director, at least his debut film, naturally meet all the basic requirements of a "fan film" and it is difficult to lose money.

Lin Nan stayed at the company and had just decided on the time for the annual meeting.

Looking at the news on the Internet, he couldn't help but sigh, "Where are we now? It will become more and more lively in the future."

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Nan saw Yue Jun coming in.

"Huo Wenxi from Yinghuang called us. "Ip Man 3" is about to complete its post-production period and asked us about the date when it will be released."

"You haven't finished the post-production process yet, why are you asking so anxiously?"

Seeing that Lin Nan was a little confused, Yue Jun couldn't help but smile:

"Why you are so anxious, I don't know. I only know that "Fire Heroes" produced by Yinghuang has hit the streets again."

"The one starring Nicholas Tse?" Lin Nan was amused.

"Yes, this movie is scheduled to be released on the 3rd.

With an investment of 120 million yuan, it has been released for 10 days, but the total box office is only 72.2 million, and the daily box office is only over 700,000. "

Yue Jun's expression was a bit teasing.

"Yang Shoucheng always wants to praise Nicholas Tse, but he has never been able to carry the box office. Wait a few more years, maybe he will become the king in comparison."

Lin Nan joked casually, causing Yue Jun to laugh:

"How is that possible? Unless the mainland sucks, haha..."

…………

Since the Internet Festival was renamed Weibo Night a few years ago, this event has become more oriented towards the entertainment industry.

And over the past few years, Sina has gradually become the dominant player in the Weibo field, and Weibo Night has become an occasion where countless celebrities in the industry flock to.

This year, actors, stars and artists in the film and television and entertainment circles clearly feel something different.

Because the official guest list announced on Weibo Night included many big names in the industry.

Not only Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao and other major directors will be present, but also the bosses of major film and television companies such as Guangguang, Huayi, Bona... Xingmei and other major film and television companies are also missing.

There were even Lin Nan and Liu Yifei who appeared on the guest list for the first time in several years!

This kind of lineup can't help but make actors and stars in the film and television industry think a lot.

"Weibo's IPO time is already counting down. This is no secret to the upper echelons of the industry."

Why is this year’s Weibo Night so grand? Listing is the core reason!

Lin Nan stood in front of Liu Yifei's exclusive fitting mirror, adjusting her clothes and explaining.

And Miss Liu had already changed into a simple white women's casual suit.

She stepped on black high heels and only wore a watch on her hand. The heavy makeup on her face made her look even brighter.

"Do I really not need to change into a dress or skirt?"

Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Nan and asked with a slight frown.

After all, she was going to an awards ceremony, but she still felt that this outfit was a bit inappropriate.

"That's good. You're not going as a female star, Producer Liu!"

Lin Nan highlighted the last three words. "Besides, it's so cold outside, why are you wearing a skirt?"

"Hehe, uh-huh, you're right." Liu Yifei nodded with a smile.

…

Six o'clock sharp in the evening.

There was already a sea of ​​people outside the China World Trade Center Phase 3, and the red carpet was even more crowded with countless fans waving support boards.

Unlike the red carpet at film festivals, some celebrities are not eligible to go.

But Weibo Night is different. From the first-tier to the third-tier, the star span is very wide.

Here, the works may be secondary, the most important thing is the celebrity status and fame in the circle.

From both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, you can see popular artists by name and celebrities who have become popular in 2013 on the red carpet.

Actors led by Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Chen Kun...Zhong Hanliang, Lin Jiying, Wu Qilong, etc.

Huadans with Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Ni Nai...etc. as the core.

It also includes guest contestants and crews from this year's popular variety shows such as "Fast Man", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "Tiny Times".

After these, there are the major directors and the bosses of major film and television companies, with clear hierarchy and clear order.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were on the red carpet, they could hear people shouting, "Director Lin, come on Oscar!"

The seats in the venue are lined up row upon row. Six columns and fifteen rows, with thirty-six people in each row. Different areas and different locations are strictly divided.

"Sissi, one tenth belongs to me. Well, it also belongs to you."

Of course Liu Yifei knew what Lin Nan was talking about, she smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

"Director Lin, Producer Liu, please come over here."

A staff member quickly ran over and welcomed Lin Nan and the two onto the red carpet in the aisle.

Many people noticed Lin Nan and Liu Yifei coming to Weibo Night for the first time.

The female stars focused their attention on Liu Yifei. She was wearing a women's casual outfit, not a dress or skirt like them!

Everyone knows what this means. Liu Yifei does not come as a female star, but as a producer and capital side.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei held hands and followed the staff toward the first row ten meters away.

Passing by the third row, I saw today's popular actresses, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Ni Nai, Yang Ying...

"Director Lin, Yifei..."

After all, they had worked together before, so Yang Mi was the first to say hello.

The second row was filled with Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao and others, greeting each other.

The first row was already lively, except for a small number of people from Internet companies, the rest were bosses, big directors and their families in the film and television industry.

"Lin Nan, you and Yifei are here."

Jiang Wen waved his hand in a hoarse voice at the fourth row in the first row, and Ning Hao was also next to him.

"This position is not arranged well, Yifei and I are actually separated."

Lin Nan sat on the right side of Jiang Wen, and on the right side were Ning Hao, Liu Yifei, Zhou Yun, Xing Aina, and then across the aisle, on the other side of the fifth row were Chen Kaige and Chen Hong...

"What's the matter, everyone is the same, you still want to change?" Ning Hao joked.

Many people in the industry in the second and third rows nearby looked at this side with smiles on their faces.

"Come on, Senior Sister Zhou Yun, let's switch, or Director Jiang and Ning Hao, you two move one position to the left..."

In the end, Lin Nan sat on the left side of Liu Yifei, next to Ning Hao.

A group of celebrities in the circle were stunned, and then they were relieved.

Only Lin Nan could change seats at will in such an occasion!

If you ask other celebrities to try, they might really die!

The stage was performing, and Lin Nan and others were chatting.

Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" will be completed in two days.

However, what the few people discussed most was the Berlin International Film Festival and the Oscars, which will announce the shortlist tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!

"Who is this? The singing is too bad?"

Jiang Wen looked at the singer on the stage and chattered.

"Oh, it seems to be from "Happy Boy". Isn't it on the big screen, Huachen..." Ning Hao kindly reminded.

When Lin Nan came, he was mentally prepared.

The awards ceremony of this Weibo Night are all fake!

What kind of male god award and goddess award, all four people received it at the same time.

Liu Shishi made a lot of traffic and won the grand prize by an official announcement with Wu Qilong. Chen Kun won another one by virtue of his identity as the initiator of a public welfare event.

The first row is closest to the podium, and you can clearly see the faces of every star, and vice versa.

Face to face, Liu Yifei in the first row is so conspicuous and dazzling in the eyes of the female stars on the stage.

She is the youngest in the first row, and she is surrounded by bigwigs in the circle...

...

The Weibo Night is over, and all kinds of stars are showing off their worthless trophies, certificates, and group photos.

The human relations and strict hierarchy in the entertainment industry are very nakedly displayed in a Weibo Night.

Online, a large number of fans are still pulling down and stepping on their favorite stars and artists.

However, after only one night, the Weibo Night was instantly squeezed out of the headlines of major media.

"The organizing committee of the Berlin International Film Festival announced the shortlists for the main competition unit, panoramic unit, short film competition and other units at 11 a.m. Beijing time."

"Director Ning Hao's "No Man's Land", Director Lou Ye's "Tuina", Director Diao Yinan... are all shortlisted for the main competition unit and will compete for the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival!"

The film industry was in an uproar.

This is the first time in several years that multiple Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. The hope of winning the gold medal is very high!

Ning Hao was probably so excited that he sent more than a dozen Weibo posts in a row, thanking many people, including Lin Nan and Han Sanping in addition to the main creators!

Not long after, the call from Bad Monkey came over.

The moment Lin Nan turned on the external sound, he heard a deafening roar: "Come out tonight, I'll treat you, whatever..."

"Hahaha, he's so happy."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, covering her mouth lightly.

A large number of actors and artists in the circle congratulated Ning Hao, wishing him a successful trip to Berlin in February and winning the Golden Bear.

Early in the afternoon, Xing Aina was already greeting Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

Director Ning was generous this time and went straight for the most expensive private dishes.

None of the leading actors of "No Man's Land" were absent, and there were also many good friends in the circle. Han Sanping even brought Han Jianu.

More than a dozen people, from more than seven o'clock in the evening to ten o'clock, really had endless things to say, and they were crying and snotting, which was rare!

On the way back, Liu Yifei drove, and Lin Nan was forced by Ning Hao to drink half a glass of white wine.

"I have never seen him cry so hard, this time I have learned something."

Liu Yifei held the steering wheel with both hands and talked and laughed with Lin Nan.

"Did you record it?"

"Haha, everyone recorded it. 'Director Ning cried bitterly after getting drunk', it's very interesting to think about it."

Liu Yifei laughed even harder when she said this.

"The emotions that have been suppressed for four years are completely released. If it were me, I would probably cry too!"

Lin Nan sighed and sighed.

"Oh, by the way. Did you notice that Huang Bo and Xu Zheng seemed strange tonight? They hardly communicated and were even a little cold."

Liu Yifei's casual remark made Lin Nan unable to respond.

"I guess they broke up?" he thought to himself.

Another night.

The news of the Berlin International Film Festival is still the headline of film and television information.

However, at two or three in the morning, new news came back, this time from Hollywood.

...

In the morning, Lin Nan was awakened by countless phone calls.

In the dream, the phone seemed to vibrate for two or three hours.

At some point, Lin Nan touched the cell phone on the bedside table and answered the call without looking at it.

"Director Lin, Oscar, Oscar..."

Yue Jun's shout was full of excitement.

At this moment, Lin Nan was completely awake.

"Fuck, has it been announced?"

"It's been announced. You'd better see it for yourself. Everyone in the circle has exploded, looking for you, haha..."

…………

From three o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the morning.

The media, the film and television industry, and the Internet have basically all been binged, and they are still binging!

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

Directed by director Feng Xiaogang, the mainland film "1942" unfortunately failed to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The Hong Kong film "The Grandmaster" was successfully nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. "

…

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

Directed by Chinese director Lin Nan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain and others, the movie "The Invisible Guest" won this year's Academy Award Nominated.

Nominated awards include: Best Director Award, Best Actor Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Original Screenplay Award and four other awards! "

The film industry is indeed in a state of chaos.

To be precise, the entire film and television industry should have been shocked by the news coming back from Hollywood.

It’s okay that Feng Xiaogang failed to get nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, because everyone is used to it.

But what about Lin Nan?

Nominated for regular Oscar awards!

The last mainland director to apply for a regular award was Zhang Yimou, and his film was "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

The final result was that not a single nomination was received.

This time, Lin Nan was shortlisted for four awards, and they were all top-ranked awards!

Before dawn, the Internet was already in full swing.

"Fuck, four nominations! If I win, Director Lin will be the first in the Mainland!"

"There is no harm without comparison. I can sympathize with Director Feng for a minute..."

"Director Lin is awesome, he really made it to the Oscars."

"Looking forward to the release of "The Invisible Guest" in China."

…

Lin Nan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

His Weibo, Lin Nan Pictures’ Weibo, and Liu Yifei’s Weibo are all “overcrowded”.

The congratulations, ridicules, and flattery from people in the circle can drown him.

Lin Nan raised his head and glanced at Liu Yifei, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with her bare white feet.

She was holding her tablet, not knowing who she was chatting with, and laughing heartlessly.

"Hurry up and take a look, they are very lively on your Weibo."

Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan. As a family member, she was still immersed in the joy of having "The Invisible Guest" nominated for four Oscars. How honored she was!

"Well, let's see how these people flatter me, haha..."

You don't know it without looking at it, but at first glance, it really refreshed Lin Nan's "three views". They have a good relationship, but their words are more out of tune than the other.

"Director Lin, sister, I have won three gold medals, and my foreign language is okay. I am just short of the three major and Hollywood film awards. Take me with you next time, sister will warm the bed... 嘘嘤嘤..."

"I'll go, brother Xun, we just filmed "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life". You haven't evolved, have you? I'm so goosebumps... Director Lin, you should consider me."

"On Director Lin's lap, there will always be a place for me, Mr. Zhu!"

"Lao Zhu, get out of the way and move over!"

"When I get the prize, I will definitely put it at Sissi's place and lend it to me for two days next time."

"Congratulations to Director Lin, see you on the red carpet at the Oscars."

…

There are a lot of messages on Weibo. From early morning to noon, there are thousands of messages, and the number is still increasing.

Many people in the industry directly used Lin Nan's Weibo as a place to chat, and were speechless!

Lin Nan had thought that his nomination might have a big impact in the film and television industry, but he didn't expect that the impact would be so big!

In the early morning, not only did the morning news appear for 12 seconds, Nortel even updated the news on its official website and Weibo at the same time:

"Congratulations to Lin Nan, an outstanding graduate of the 2002 Directing Department of our school, for successfully being nominated for the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor with the foreign language film "The Invisible Guest"... I wish him good luck in competing for the Oscars!"

These are all fine, but the media actually watched the excitement and went to interview several other big directors, especially Feng Xiaogang. Isn't this just adding salt to the wound? !

"I wish Lin Nan every success. He has always been outstanding."

"Oscar? Then he should be prepared to fail. Hollywood awards are not so easy to win. So far, I have only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film."

"First of all, congratulations to him for not failing like me... Don't worry, foreign awards are optional."

"Lin Nan, brother, I support you. Next time you make a foreign language film, remember to ask me to be the leading actor!"

"He has to treat me to a meal."

…
