Chapter 720 Birthday Present, It's Poisonous

Chapter 720 Birthday present, it is poisonous...

Since the early morning, the film and television circles and the entertainment circles have not stopped, and the Internet is in an uproar and extremely lively.

When the sky just got light on the first morning of December.

The relevant information about Shu Chang's birthday has already topped the entertainment headlines of major portals and the hot search list of Weibo.

The reason is not that the actors and stars in the circle left messages to send blessings.

It is because the "horrifying" "birthday gift" that Liu Yifei wants to give to Shu Chang is simply extravagant to the extreme!

When the morning sun rises, Director Lin just woke up.

There is a fragrant fairy in his arms, and the touch is warm, soft, smooth and delicate.

The long hair is casually scattered on the pillow, and the faint fragrance decorates Liu Yifei's delicate and pink face. The long eyelashes jump from time to time, which is very beautiful.

"It's time to go to bed, but you're still provoking me. Are you not energetic now? I slept well, haha..."

Lin Nan smiled and muttered softly, then got up carefully. He leaned over to cover her with the quilt to hide her fair skin.

Half a minute after he left the room, a soft and nasal voice came from the quilt, a little arrogant: "Hmph, I'm provoking..."

...

After arriving at the company, Lin Nan remembered to check the news online. As expected, the circle was really in an uproar!

"Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have known each other for 12 years, and their girlfriends are very close. The most special birthday gift is the heroine of the movie."

"The name of the movie is unknown, the name of the script is unknown, the director is unknown, the screenwriter is unknown, the team is unknown, the project has not been approved...but the heroine has been decided!"

In addition to the media, people in the circle and netizens are also discussing it heatedly. There are countless people who are amazed, envious, and joking.

"This is the first time I've seen a birthday gift like this! A movie heroine? Producer Liu is so domineering!"

"To be honest, I envy her. I also need a good girlfriend.

Yifei, how close is your relationship with me? Give me a definite answer. I'll try harder!"

"I'm jealous too. We've been best friends for more than ten years. Director Lin should really learn from their producer Liu."

"Old Zhu, you should have some shame. You're talking as if the leading actor in "Love Is Not Blind" is not you?"

"But you haven't received a birthday gift? Old Luo, what's your purpose in backstabbing me?"

"I opened the calendar and looked at it. Well, my birthday is not far away. But where are my best girlfriends or best friends?"

"Since Producer Liu gave a 'movie heroine' as a birthday gift, he must have a ready-made script or movie project to give it. It's definitely not an empty promise that takes time to fulfill! Isn't the answer here?"

In one sentence, many people in the industry were awakened.

Yes, everyone remembers that at the beginning of last month, Lin Nan Pictures just submitted a movie script for review, and many actors in the industry are thinking about it.

And in other words, what kind of movie can Liu Yifei give away?

Hmm? No! Lin Nan Pictures's, isn't it hers?

This is the established boss lady, the wife of a big director!

…

"It's really good to have a good girlfriend. "Painted Skin" and "Bad Genius" were directed by Director Lin himself, and he also helped her win the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The heroine of "Blade of the Assassin 2" was also given to her... This time Liu Yifei gave her the heroine of another movie as a birthday gift.

To put it bluntly, she is more likely to get the top resources of Lin Nan Pictures than the artists of Shanhai Media! I just don't know who is the director of this movie. Is it Director Lin? Or Director Guo? Director Lu Yang shouldn't be, he just finished a play not long ago. Teacher Xue..."

Yang Mi looked at the news and felt some indescribable envy.

Although "Silent Separation" is a popular IP, the four words "Lin Nan Pictures" are even more of a big IP.

So far, there has been no young director of a film produced by Lin Nan Pictures.

Zeng Jia was also a little emotional on the side. She had previously vowed to belittle Tang Yan, saying that few actresses of the same age in the mainland could compare to Yang Mi.

But Shu Chang in front of her was really among the few people she eliminated. An actress who can call Lin Nan "brother" in public is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

"Teacher Xue?"

Yang Mi suddenly muttered. She always remembered that Xue Xiaolu said that if the box office of "Love in Seattle" is good, it will be made into a series.

It has been almost three years since the filming of this movie, and it will be released soon. The time should be about the same, right? After all, it is not good to have too long a gap between series!

At this moment, many actresses of the same age are having a toothache because of sourness.

Even Huang Xiaoming was being nagging early in the morning, but his network resources really can't be compared with Lin Nan.

Besides, Huayi is a big company, and it is impossible for them to give all the good resources to Yang Ying!

…

Without paying too much attention to the inquiries and ridicules from people in the circle, Lin Nan was hurrying to deal with his work.

The Lunar New Year holiday also means that another year is coming to an end.

The company has a lot of documents, reports, receipts, and tax declarations that need his signature.

After finishing in the morning, he went back at noon to prepare for a dinner party on the lawn of the villa.

“Director Lin, the audition has started at Noon Sunshine. Producer Hou Hongliang called and asked if we should send someone to join us?”

“Notify Director Jiang and see what she means.”

Lin Nan said without raising his head. The taxes to be paid this year are really a lot.

"Director Lin, Director Jiang is attending the industry conference above on behalf of the company these two days, so he is not here."

Lin Nan then remembered that it seemed that the format of TV drama broadcasting had been reformed again, and "one drama with two stars" would be implemented on New Year's Day.

In the future, TV dramas will only be broadcast on two TV stations at most during prime time.

It is said that it is to balance the composition of satellite TV programs and force film and television companies to improve the production quality and competitiveness of TV series.

But in Lin Nan's view, the original intention of "one drama with two stars" was too ideal.

A TV series can only be broadcast on two TV stations during prime time, which means that the number of buyers will drop sharply.

If the film producers want to recoup their costs and make money, they have to quote a higher selling price for a single episode, or even double or quadruple it. But when TV stations buy dramas, they must also be thinking about trying to lower the price!

The above means that if the film producers make better productions, the TV stations will naturally be willing to bid.

But from the standpoint of the film studio, especially in the Internet age, the more reliable and simpler way to sell TV series well is not to make great efforts to improve the quality of filming, nor to optimize the script and find good actors.

It's about filming what the audience likes, and using which actors have traffic. It's best to add big IPs. This is a simple and profitable way! Because the TV series produced have their own traffic and topics!

However, this is another endless cycle!

Inertia will cause the film studio to deviate from the original intention of "one drama with two stars", and production funds will be seriously tilted towards "publicity aspects".

"Actors" with traffic will become popular and become more and more expensive... once again pushing up the salary of the entire industry...

In the end, the production budget of TV series continued to increase until the "actor" accounted for a huge proportion of the pay and became the "master" of the crew. Eventually, less and less funds were spent on filming and production... We could only produce shoddy products and rely on publicity...

You must know that "data" and "traffic" can be faked.

When the entire industry is overwhelmed by "traffic", will a "hit drama" be a hit? Then only ghosts really know!

Anyway, it is definitely difficult for the audience to know whether it is true or false, and they can only follow the "promotional information" on the Internet!

This is a major trend that cannot be stopped.

But there are definitely companies and people who are serious about filming, but they are relatively few.

"Reply to Noon Sunshine. We won't send anyone there. Just send us the preliminary list before setting the angle." Lin Nan ordered.

"Okay, Director Lin."

…………

There is less than one day left before the release of "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)".

This movie and "The Year in a Hurry" released on the 5th, are the most competitive domestic films in the film market in the first half of the month, full of gimmicks.

As for TV dramas, they are no less impressive.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which premiered on the 3rd, has been criticized and ridiculed by netizens, occupying a place on the Internet in a black and red way.

As for Fan Bingbing's TV series "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" with a female lead in late 2019, it is really the focus of attention and a big hit on the Internet.

Because the stills and trailer are really eye-catching, there are so many balls, big and round!

Lin Nan heard from Wang Wei that Dodou had bought the exclusive webcast copyright of "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", which was not cheap.

At 12:30 noon, Director Lin drove back.

He found that the yard was already busy. There were huge blankets on the lawn, and there were many simple dining tables and grills beside it.

Food delivery people in many restaurants are arranging dishes, including cooked food, raw food, snacks, etc. There are many categories, and the cakes customized by Liu Yifei are already in place.

But after a quick glance, I didn't see Miss Liu or Shu Chang at all.

Seeing the great director Lin Nan, the person in charge of the restaurant immediately said hello, "Director Lin."

"Sorry to trouble everyone."

"You're welcome, this is our job."

Lin Nan walked into the villa and vaguely heard voices coming from the direction of the wine room on the first floor.

"These boxes are from Brother Xiao Ming... The bottles over there were brought by Huo Wenxi last time and from Yang Shoucheng... I bought them over there..."

"...Don't touch that bottle of champagne, that was brought by Matt last month... How about opening this bottle today?"

"I think that bottle is good. It must be very expensive if it is placed so high!"

Only five or six meters away from the door, Lin Nan heard Shu Chang's voice, good guy, are you here to rob?

"With so much red wine in your house, more than half of it is given by others?" Zhu Yawen clicked her tongue.

"You talk a lot. If you're not convinced, you can ask them to give it to you, haha." Luo Jin laughed directly.

"Just this bottle. It was given by Leon at the beginning of last year. It seems to have been produced in 2004."

Standing at the door, Lin Nan happened to see Liu Yifei wasting her money!

But the person he greeted was another unexpected face: "Oh, you are a rare visitor, Tangtang."

Only then did a group of people notice Lin Nan. Tang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Director Lin, aren't you rude?"

"Not rude, not rude, Luo Jin... ah no, Lao Zhu, why didn't you bring your wife?"

"He's on the set."

How could a group of people not tell that Lin Nan was teasing Luo Jin? Everyone just laughed and said nothing.

"Hurry out and get ready to start."

Liu Yifei walked out first and handed Lin Nan the red wine. She wanted to go upstairs to the study.

The weather is rare and sunny and not cold. Several people were sitting on the lawn, surrounded by delicious food.

Shu Chang was the birthday boy today. After blowing out the candles and cutting the cake, he looked impatiently towards the entrance of the villa.

"Why don't you come out? Sissi is hanging on me on purpose...Brother, is it the script your company sent for review?"

"I have no idea."

Lin Nan and Luo Jin clinked glasses and ignored Shu Chang, telling her to hurry up first.

In less than two minutes, Liu Yifei walked out slowly, as if taking a walk, with a playful smile on her face.

"Sissi, hurry up, you're going to kill me."

Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Tang Yan all looked over. Director Lin was a little bit dumbfounded.

No wonder it took so long and I found a box to put it in!

"Here, it's for you. Don't say I'm not generous, I thought of you immediately."

Liu Yifei raised her beautiful chin slightly, looking too arrogant.

"Yeah, I'll open it now."

The three people nearby came over and saw that inside the opened gift box was a script!

""Go away! Mr. Tumor"!"

"Sour."

"Enjoyed."

Just when Shu Chang was nervously putting it away, ready to go back and look at it for himself.

Liu Yifei spoke unexpectedly, and couldn't help laughing:

"That, Changchang, that's the movie. The content is similar to the name, the heroine is terminally ill.

As for, ahem, as for whether director Guo Fan will ask you to shave your head when filming, I can't decide. You have to be mentally prepared in advance. "

As Liu Yifei's words fell, the scene fell into dead silence.

Two or three seconds later, everyone burst out laughing:

"Haha, I was laughing so hard.

Good news: the birthday gift is the leading lady of a movie! Bad news: the heroine has to shave her head! "

"Changchang, hurry up and eat the cake. You may not be able to keep your long black hair. Let them eat and go!"

Although they were all teasing Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin both had a different look in their eyes, and Tang Yan next to them was also very envious.

"I, I, I will risk myself!"

Shu Chang sat there angrily, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't think about it. I have already helped Qianqian decide on the female lead from Guo Fan, so I can't say anything anymore. When the time comes, he will audition for the role, so you can go and give it a try."

"OK, no problem!"

…

A group photo of six people was updated on several people's Weibo.

Shu Chang stood in the middle, surrounded by several people, smiling heartlessly. In the background, there are many delicious food and huge lawns and gardens.

Other people's Weibo posts were all about wishing Shu Chang a happy birthday, while hers was a crying and laughing expression with the following text:

"The birthday gift from Sissi, it's poisonous..."

…

"Let's end the matter of "Why Shengxiaomo", don't tear it up..."

"good."

…………

The time finally came on the 2nd.

The headlines of major media and hot searches for film and television information all focus on the "Titanic of the East", followed by other gossips.

"Co-produced by China Film, LeTV, Huayi, Youzu, and Pony, and directed by Wu Yusen, the master of violent aesthetics.

Starring Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, Tong Dawei, Nagasawa Masami and others:

The war epic "The Wheel of Peace (Part 1)" was officially released today. The first-day film scheduling rate of domestic theaters is as high as 34%! "

"Three weeks after its release, the imported science fiction blockbuster "Interstellar" has a total box office revenue of 1.222 billion, and the daily box office has dropped to more than 8 million.

It is reported that the total box office of "Interstellar" in the global film market has exceeded US$700 million, and it has achieved high profits and is still growing. "

"Qiong Yao's case against Yu Zheng will be heard today. The former is claiming 20 million yuan. Wang Hailin, vice president of the Film and Literature Association, serves as Qiong Yao's assistant to answer professional questions such as plagiarism and adaptation."

"Co-produced by Tangren and Sohu, starring Han Dongjun, Jin Chen, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Yao and others, the Republic of China fantasy TV series "Wuxin Master" officially starts filming today!"

…

Actors and stars in the film and television industry are all showing off their movie tickets for "The Taiping Wheel - Part 1" and cheering for the movie.

Seeing this, Lin Nan felt that these people were trying too hard, and they weren't that flattering. Don’t consider the consequences of being scolded by the audience at all!

On the desk, the phone buzzed. Lin Nan glanced at the caller ID and answered the call immediately.

"Hello."

"Director Lin, do you think when is a more suitable time for us to come over and measure clothes?"

"These two days are fine. I will send you the specific address later. Just give me a call before coming over."

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment: "Director Lin, let's do it tomorrow. I'll bring someone here in person.

You can rest assured that we are all time-honored brands with experienced craftsmanship. We are famous in places like Beijing Film Studio and Xiying Film Studio. We are well versed in the standard of Fengguan Xiapei, but now few people can make the complete set. There are too many castrated versions out there, which makes people laugh..."

Listening to the call, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. This old master was quite talkative. Maybe it was because he hadn't seen anyone asking for a full set of dishes in a long time.

Although Fengguan Xiapei is dignified and beautiful, it is quite cumbersome to wear, and the complete set is a bit heavy for ordinary girls! Therefore, the most widely circulated ones on the market now, although they are also very beautiful, are all "castrated" and "beggar's versions".

But for Liu Yifei, these are not problems, after all, Miss Liu is a martial arts practitioner!

"Well, of course I believe you. My teacher introduced you here."

"That's good, that's good. Did Director Tian tell you..."

"Just do it, that's not a problem. We'll talk about it in detail when we meet tomorrow."

"Okay, I won't bother Director Lin then."

"Goodbye."

Lin Nan was not angry at all that the other party hesitated to ask about the money on the phone.

Because a whole set of pure manual work would take a long time and dozens of people would be needed.

The best materials, plus Lin Nan's request for rush work, the cost must be more than eight figures.

The approximate amount will be determined tomorrow.

I can only say that when it comes to real luxury goods, Chinese luxury goods are the ancestors!

…………

"We can't let the outside reports get ahead of us. After confirming that he has completed the reduction of holdings this time, we will issue an announcement ourselves.

Before the listing, we borrowed his title as the Golden Lion Director, which was indeed very useful. But now we have to prepare for a rainy day and pave the way for him to completely clear his position. We can't let his departure have too much impact on us."

Huayi, Chairman's Office. Wang Zhongjun thought again and again and ordered.

"The people below reported that they have sold more than 1.5 million shares. I guess it's still around 2 million this time?" Wang Zhonglei guessed.

In fact, the two brothers occasionally cash out, but they always cash out at high prices and buy at low prices, unlike Lin Nan who is rushing to clear out the stock and leave!

"If he is willing to lower the price, we can buy all his stocks at once."

"Then he may not agree. Looking at his cash-out frequency, he doesn't look like he is short of money at all." Wang Zhonglei dispelled Wang Zhongjun's idea.

Large equity transactions must not be at the stock market price. Lin Nan will definitely not agree to a one-time price reduction transfer.

"Okay, you keep an eye on it and do what I say."

"Okay."

...

Sometimes, it's just such a coincidence.

Liu Yifei just said on the Internet that she would give the heroine of a movie as a birthday gift to Shu Chang. People in the circle were speculating and discussing whether it was the one from Lin Nan's film. Then the Film Bureau made a public announcement!

The media all had dog noses and a keen sense of smell, and they reported it immediately. The film and television industry suddenly became even more chaotic.

"From the official website of the Film Bureau, the results of the script review in December were announced:

Submitted by Lin Nan Film, the film script "Go Away! Tumor King" was reviewed and approved for filing and project establishment, and a film shooting permit can be obtained."

"According to the official website of the Film Bureau, the brief introduction of the approved script is: "Go Away! Tumor King" is adapted from the comic of the same name. It is a romantic inspirational comedy that tells the story of a heroine with cancer who still smiles at life while fighting the disease."

What a good subject! Many actors in the industry reacted to this first!

A large number of netizens and people in the industry are tagging Shu Chang, asking if the birthday gift she received is "Go Away! Tumor King"? Do you know who will direct the movie?

Of course, Liu Yifei was not spared, and her Weibo was also flooded with messages.

And the film and television industry is also staring at this "Go Away! Tumor King". Because the movies of Lin Nan Film are top resources for brushing up resumes!

Many media reporters blocked Lin Nan Pictures, but fortunately, they didn't block Lin Nan.

Yue Jun did not give a clear answer during the interview, but said that it would be made public when the film was filed and cast. A little mystery is still necessary!

"Hey, I wonder if Mr. Han is reading movie reviews online now?"

Lin Nan leaned on Liu Yifei's bear pillow and lay lazily.

He looked at the online "public outrage" and the movie reviews of "The Crossing (Part 1)" which had exploded in terms of topic volume and popularity, and couldn't help muttering.

It's so miserable!

As the director of "The Crossing", Wu Yusen is being abused, belittled, ridiculed and mocked by 99% of the audience who have watched the movie! It can be compared with cyber violence.

"The mountains and rivers are broken into cartoons, and the ups and downs of life are like Qiong Yao! "The Crossing" is indeed a "shit corpse masterpiece"!"

"The broken country and the ups and downs of personal life are such good and simple themes. If it can't be made into an epic, it can be made into a story of a beautiful woman in troubled times. But the great director Wu Yusen made it into a bad movie. The three love lines are all broken and incomplete, like a mix of many movies, fragmented and without a theme."

"If it weren't for the three incredible releases of white doves, reminding us that this is the symbol of director Wu Yusen, I would have felt like I was watching a mix of third-rate movies with unclear priorities and different themes!"

"To be honest, I was very disappointed and suffered a lot after watching this movie. Spoiler in one sentence: low-level romance dramas and the game Contra are alternating, and they haven't even boarded the ship after two hours of acting! How dare they say it is the oriental version of "Titans" Nick? "

"It's been six years since Red Cliff. It's proven that director Wu Yusen still can't make big-scale, big-budget films!"

"He says he wants to make epic movies, but Wu Yusen is still into gunfights and fights in the back alleys. He can't handle the grand and heavy epics and the background of the times!"

"I won't watch the second half of The Crossing again. The first half is so bad. The second half is definitely a pile of shit!"

"The Crossing is said to be a war movie, but it's actually a large-scale gunfight movie!"

"Can I get a refund? It's so bad and so expensive!"

"I heard that they invested more than 400 million and nearly 500 million, and it's all a waste!"

"I sincerely suggest that everyone don't buy tickets for The Crossing, otherwise you will call yourself an idiot! It's so bad!"

...

The main creators were still promoting the film in the morning, but now they are silent. No one speaks out.

Because the situation online is really scary, with overwhelming curses and bad reviews.

"This is probably a big blow to Mr. Han! Yesterday, he was interviewed and said that "The Crossing" was the final work of his career in China Film."

Liu Yifei, wearing a hip skirt, sat down next to Lin Nan and said with a sigh.

"Look, Mr. Han didn't call me until now. What does it mean? It means that he saw the large-scale film reviews online."

Lin Nan just realized that if the film reviews were good, Han Sanping would call to show off and slap Lin Nan in the face?

"It's so bad, don't even think about overseas copyrights, there are not so many fools! In fact, I sympathize with Mr. La."

"Huh?"

Miss Liu leaned against Lin Nan, a little confused.

"You see, the movie's big hit is the work of Mr. Han, not Mr. La. This is a movie project that was decided to be invested in at the end of 2011. Mr. La wants to take credit, but it's not his fault.

But if the movie is bad and loses a lot of money, Mr. La has to cover the loss, because he is the current chairman of China Film Group!

As for Mr. Han, he just lost his reputation and became a big joke in the industry. But for someone like him who cares about face and reputation, this is no different from immediate execution, which is very embarrassing, haha..."

"Think about it, this kind of large-scale scolding, with a cost of nearly 500 million, feels..."

"Don't feel it, it's over. This movie will definitely go into film history, but it will go in as a negative example."

Just when Lin Nan was about to praise Liu Yifei's hip skirt, a phone call came in.

"Huh? Xiao Ma? What's this note?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"From Xiaoma Pentium. I had a chat with the current chairman of Xiaoma at the premiere of The Crossing (Part 1) that day.

I guess after seeing the film reviews online, he finally understood and gave up struggling, right?" Lin Nan said thoughtfully.
