That year Huayu

In the evening, the congestion scene on Hong Kong Island is no less than that of the capital; and the splendor of Victoria Harbor also declares the prosperity here.

In the huge banquet hall, the dining table is next to the seven-eight-meter-long floor-to-ceiling window; outside is the night view of the entire Hong Kong Island, brightly lit; standing on the 26th floor, it is completely unobstructed.

"Director Yang, I thought you would bring many of your artists with you?"

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei intertwined their fingers and were invited in by Yinghuang's people, with their two assistants behind them.

He and Miss Liu really didn't expect that the dinner prepared by Yang Shoucheng would be so "simple", so simple that there were only two people, Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi.

"Tonight is a reception party between friends. Bring them along? It will become a social gathering!"

Yang Shoucheng joked with a smile and glanced at Huo Wenxi naturally.

"Director Lin, Producer Liu, please take your seats."

Huo Wenxi chose a position where he could see the night view outside by looking up, and personally pulled out the chairs and invited Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to sit down.

"Thanks."

Miss Liu was wearing a white dress, smiled and nodded at Huo Wenxi, and then sat down closer to the floor-to-ceiling window at Lin Nan's signal.

Because the scenery outside is really beautiful, and when paired with her, it complements each other.

"It's time to serve."

Yang Shoucheng first gave instructions to the staff at the entrance of the banquet hall, and then looked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"It seems that Yifei's naturalization procedures will be completed in two days; it will be much more convenient to have Wenxi accompany you then."

Hearing Yang Shoucheng's words, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled, let's get to the point.

"I would like to thank Director Yang this time for saving Yifei and I a lot of trouble. Yinghuang must also have spent a lot of energy and resources..."

"Not much, it's all little things."

Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, Yang Shoucheng interrupted him with a smile. Sometimes a favor is most valuable if it is always owed!

"My company will be planning a movie project in the second half of the year. If Ying Huang has ideas, he can join in, but the share will not be large."

Hearing Lin Nan's unabashed invitation, Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi, who should have been very happy, did not immediately become happy, because both of them noticed the last sentence "the share will not be much".

According to their understanding of Lin Nan, the latter was not a stingy person. On the contrary, Lin Nan was very generous. But why did you specifically say that you won’t give Yinghuang too much share this time?

"Director Lin, what kind of movie is this? Look at you like this..."

"A bit picky." Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and couldn't help but laugh at him.

When Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi heard this, they both laughed and shook their heads. How could they admit such a thing? !

"Director Yang, listen to me first.

For Ying Huang, getting a small share of this movie is definitely more 'important' and more 'critical' than getting a 30-40% share of other commercial films of our company! "

"This?" The two people opposite were even more confused.

At this time, several young waitresses in cheongsam began to serve the dishes, and Lin Nan remained silent for the first time.

In five minutes, when more than thirty dishes were neatly placed on the round table and all the service staff left, Lin Nan spoke again.

"This movie, like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", is a movie with the main theme, police and gangsters, gun battles... adapted from the Mekong River tragedy in 2011.

The head of the publicity department of the Ministry of Public Security gave me a phone number and business card before. I have already told them about this. They asked me to find a time to bring the script to Golden Shield... next month or the next month, my company We will establish the project, identify investors, and start casting in the second half of the year..."

"Main theme... golden shield..."

Yang Shoucheng muttered, he knew the main melody, but no one in Hong Kong seemed to have participated in the main melody? !

"Golden shield?"

"Director Yang, Golden Shield is a public institution directly under the Ministry of Public Security. It is a full-time film and television agency responsible for film and television works with theme themes!"

Huo Wenxi obviously knew better than Yang Shoucheng and immediately reminded him.

Sure enough, the latter was excited, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.

"Will Golden Shield be one of the producers?"

"Well, yes." Lin Nan nodded while helping Liu Yifei pick up the vegetables.

Yang Shoucheng was really excited at this moment. Yinghuang was a Hong Kong film and television group that participated in the investment of the main theme film, and it was jointly produced with public institutions under the Ministry of Public Security...

This is really like what Lin Nan said, even if there is only a small share, the meaning is completely different, it is qualitatively different!

"Yinghuang is willing to take on this project! I really want to thank Director Lin this time. This kind of project is so important and critical to Yinghuang!"

"Reciprocity is a courtesy, Mr. Yang."

Lin Nan smiled and raised his glass. His return gift was indeed much heavier!

After the reception banquet, which lasted for more than an hour, Yang Shoucheng originally wanted to invite Lin Nan and Liu Yifei to go out for a walk. After all, Hong Kong Island is more prosperous at night than during the day, but Lin Nan refused.

Because not only Director Lin remembered the trip to Lan Kwai Fong when he went to Hong Kong Island at night with Yang Shoucheng, Fok Wenxi and others, but Liu Yifei also remembered this incident and glanced at him provocatively several times.

…

One night passed, and May also turned over.

In the morning, at the mainland film market, "Manchester by the Sea" still bursts with box office vitality that is envied by many award-winning film directors in the industry.

"Director Lin Nan's films have won 8 awards including the Golden Globe, Golden Bear, and Oscar. On the third day of its release, the daily box office of "Manchester by the Sea" dropped by more than 10 million to 41.15 million."

""Manchester by the Sea" has been in theaters for three days, and its first weekend box office total reached 157.5 million, which is very dazzling..."

"Co-produced by Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight, Wanda, and China Film, the fantasy, action, and adventure film "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon" adapted from the popular tomb-robbing novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" passed the review of the Film Bureau this morning and was awarded Get permission for public release.”

"Liu Yifei was shopping on Hong Kong Island. Director Lin Nan accompanied her with her bags and four assistants..."

"The 18th Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival has entered the final preparation stage. There are 1,099 films participating this year, and 1,808 films registered to participate..."

"The first 'Jackie Chan Action Movie Week' will be held at the Magic City International Film Festival. This film award is co-founded by Jackie Chan and the Magic City International Film Festival."

…

Liu Yifei took Lin Nan to Causeway Bay.

I have to say that when shopping on Hong Kong Island, although there are entertainment reporters and paparazzi, they are indeed much less common than in the capital.

"Look, look, when "The King of Kung Fu" was promoted, my mother and I ate Lingzhi paste here, and the store is still there... Boss, I want two cups of Lingzhi paste... Go next door and buy one for me. A portion of mango... cake... you can choose what you like to eat, Director Lin will pay for it..."

Miss Liu sat there and started "ordering", and several assistants also got busy with clear division of labor.

Lin Nan was sitting opposite Liu Yifei, sending a message to Yue Jun.

Regarding the film project submitted by Shiyue Culture, Producer Liu gave the order with a wave of his hand - start at the same time!

And what she said was quite reasonable:

""The Return of the Great Sage" was made after enduring several years of loneliness. Now that Shiyue Culture is strong and has no shortage of funds, equipment, and manpower, it is not a bad idea to produce two films at the same time. The worst thing is that it will take a few more years.

Moreover, the most difficult post-production special effects work in animated films, isn’t it supported by Tiangong Color? So doing two at the same time is no problem at all! "

After Lin Nan and Yue Jun were sure, they put down their mobile phones. At this time, there were a lot of delicious food in front of him.

"It's up to you, let's make two movies together. Anyway, you don't have to worry about selling the copyright of the animated movie, it will sell better than the live-action movie."

"Uh-huh."

Liu Yifei bit her spoon and nodded with a smile.

…

Lin Nan accompanied Liu Yifei for a whole day of shopping, during which she also went to the Disneyland here. When she went back in the afternoon, she bought a lot of things, big and small.

In the evening, someone from Hongxingwu called Ms. Liu, and Guangguang transferred the box office account of "Wolf Warrior" to her.

Ms. Liu, who made money by producing an independent film for the first time, was like a shot of chicken blood, which was very troublesome for Lin Nan. Fortunately, Director Lin is not a vegetarian!

In this way, the first day of June passed while playing in Hong Kong Island.

"Manchester by the Sea" has been in decline at the box office since its first day.

62.55 million, 53.8 million, 41.15 million; the daily box office on the fourth day did not surprise, but still dropped to more than 30 million, with a revenue of 35.4 million!

However, the box office has been very good, and many big directors in the industry who specialize in award-winning films have become red-eyed. In addition, the reputation has exploded.

The only bad thing is that when fans, viewers and netizens on the Internet praise the movie, they always curse Lin Nan.

"The crew arrived in Macau yesterday. The other actors and I are on a flight tomorrow. We will meet there in the evening and start shooting immediately."

Lin Nan received a call from Xue Xiaolu. Everything is ready for "Love in Seattle 2" and filming will officially start in the next two days.

This movie has not announced the casting list to the outside world, but it will definitely be hidden when it starts filming.

"Then I wish Teacher Xue good luck with the phone. Yifei and I are in Hong Kong Island these days. Although we are close, we still don't want to disturb you."

"Okay, have fun."

After Lin Nan hung up the phone, Liu Yifei, who was obviously a little excited, said:

"Huo Wenxi sent me a message, saying that I can go there to go through the formalities tomorrow morning. She will pick us up tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Lin Nan's mood suddenly became very good, "Okay, let's go and see together tomorrow."

"Humph, of course you want to go with me!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, said angrily, and then laughed again.

"I've already inquired about it. The copyright belongs to Lin Nan Pictures."

"Why is everything there? Can they buy it?"

"Yue Jun is a well-known 'copyright dealer' in the industry. He has obtained most of the copyrights for Lin Nan Pictures' novels. He has been buying and hoarding them for many years."
