Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 774: Reactions from all parties, variety show invitation

The next morning.

Chen Duling's fingertips slid across the condensed mist on the bathroom mirror, outlining the winding outline of the Candle Dragon in the haze.

"Countdown to five minutes."

Lin Li's voice mixed with the minty scent of shaving cream drifted in. He was tying a tie embroidered with dark gold cloud patterns. This was the Chinese Valentine's Day gift that Chen Duling picked for him last year.

"I don't know why, but I feel so nervous."

Chen Duling looked at him through the mirror, her brows slightly furrowed, looking particularly weak.

"Don't worry, I'm Nan Xun who has never failed."

Lin Li smiled, put his arms around her waist from behind, and looked at her in the mirror.

"makes sense."

"But Ali, what are you doing with your hands?"

Chen Duling lowered her head and glanced at his hands, then stared at him in the mirror with a half-smile.

"Uh... instinctive reaction."

Lin Li's big hands kept rubbing her lower abdomen, and he showed an innocent smile.

"Take it away!"

Chen Duling raised her brows and said coquettishly.

"Just stop it, there's a reaction~"

"So early in the morning, you... um..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Duling's unfinished words turned into a whimper.

After a moment, Chen Duling looked at her dazed expression in the mirror and closed her eyes shyly.

This guy is so ridiculous in broad daylight!

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Weibo server engineer Xiao Wang gulped down his third glass of iced American coffee and stared at the abnormal data fluctuations on the monitoring screen.

The entry #Nanxun Culture Officially Announces the Chinese Superhero Trilogy# that suddenly popped up was like a giant dragon awakening, devouring over 200 million traffic per minute.

The official Weibo account of Nanxun Culture released the nine-grid poster on time.

The first picture is a bronze sword tearing the Marvel logo, the second picture is Chen Duling in goddess form with the oracle character for "rain" painted on her forehead, and the last picture is fixed on the concept picture of the interstellar Great Wall of China at "Creation".

The accompanying text only has four words: China will last forever.

Weibo exploded and the server was paralyzed in an instant!

Netizens clicked on the entry excitedly, but the interface remained motionless.

what's the situation?
Wasted again?
About ten minutes later, the Weibo interface resumed normal access, but there was still a lag in the comment section of Nanxun Culture’s official Weibo.

Even so, the comment section still refreshes with thousands of comments almost every second.

"Ahhh! The Chinese Superhero Movie Universe!"

"It still has to be Nanxun Culture, Nanxun Competition is the best!"

"I'm so excited! China's own superhero!"

"Dudu is so beautiful in the promotional photo! She is like a goddess!"

"Looking forward to the Great Sage!"

"Erlang the Holy Lord appears at Guanjiangkou!"

"Of course, the top rebel Nezha is more exciting!"

"Didn't you see the photo? There's a candle dragon!"

"I've also seen the picture of Kuafu. I'm looking forward to it!"

"So Dudu has already locked in a role. A blockbuster like this should require a lot of roles, right?"

"I think all the actors in the entertainment industry are going to be very excited about this, and are looking forward to our brother getting the role!"

"From this point of view, all these female confidantes in Nanda University will come in handy."

"Hahaha, it's true!"

"Who is your brother upstairs?"

"Of course it's Kun Kun!"

"Brother Chicken..."

The comment section is full of daily gossips and soon becomes a trade show for fans of various celebrities to promote their own celebrities.

And as it was said in the comments section, after seeing this news, actors in the entire entertainment industry, regardless of gender or age, could no longer sit still!

Are you kidding? A blockbuster movie with a 3 billion investment!
Even if the film turns out to be shit, I will still fight for it, let alone it’s a project of Nanxun Culture?
Anything produced by Nanxun must be of the highest quality!
This statement has been proven through the repeated success of Nanxun Culture.

For such a top-level investment project, you have to fight for it no matter how hard you try. Not to mention the leading role, even the supporting role will be sought after!

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was in motion.

At the same time, the top 20 hot searches on Douyin were instantly dominated by terms related to "Chinese Superhero Movie Universe".

Screams suddenly broke out in a boys' dormitory of a university in Beijing, and many popular game anchors' live broadcasts suddenly interrupted the broadcast room to broadcast the posters released by the official Weibo of Nanxun Culture for interpretation.

When the official Douyin account of the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, reposted the "Gonggong" poster, it attached the latest surveyed three-dimensional map of the East China Sea Trench, which aroused heated discussion among netizens.

Many male and female actors were urged by their fans in the comment section to stop dancing and trying to look cool and get ready to audition for Nanxun Culture's trilogy!
A number of internet celebrities also followed the trend and praised Nanxun Culture's "Chinese Superhero Movie Universe" during the live broadcast, and the traffic in the live broadcast room also increased rapidly.

At this point in time, if we don’t discuss this topic, it seems like we are out of touch with the trend.

Yu Dong, president of Bona Film Group, pressed the redial button for the fourth time, but the receiver still received a busy tone.

He stared at the 7% surge in the share price of Light Media on the screen, and put out his cigar hard on the planning proposal of "Operation Red Sea 2".

Cigarette ash fell on the title of "Military Action Film", mixing with the undried coffee stains to form a smudge.

"This old Wang has boarded a big ship!"

Yu Dong spat with red eyes.

As soon as the news of Nanxun Culture was released, Guangxian, which had always maintained close cooperation with Nanxun Culture, immediately gained market favor.

Yu Dong had to admit that Wang Changtian had played a good hand, and Nanxun Culture was a really strong supporter!

At noon, in the independent lounge of the heroine of the Daily Life of a Lover crew, Tian Xiwei's diamond-studded nails scratched across the face of Chen Duling on the poster on the screen, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She suddenly grabbed her phone and took a photo of the rain on the windowsill, captioning, "I heard there will be miracles after the heavy rain."

These were the love words Lin Li said to her.

Zhu Xudan specially changed into the costume she had worn when she played Xuannv at home and put on seductive makeup. When everything was ready, she took out her mobile phone and took several selfies in a row, then selected the one she was most satisfied with and sent it to Lin Li.

Then he typed, "What do you think of me playing a seductress in Chasing the Sun?"

After sending the message, she gently put down the phone with a charming smile on her lips.

She has a clear idea of ​​her position and does not have high requirements. It is just a supporting role, and she believes that he will not refuse the role of a female supporting role.

As for the protagonist, she never even thought about it.

As lovers, you must have the awareness of lovers.

Wan Peng and Mao Xiaohui made a sudden appointment for dinner and walked around the mall for a long time, picking out a lot of clothes from inner to outer. They planned to give Lin Li a live broadcast of the process of trying on clothes when they returned.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet, there must be one color you like, right?
Moreover, the happiness is doubled!

Chinese drama dormitory.

Hu Lianxin glanced at the "Nine-Layered Purple" script in her hand, then shifted her gaze to the latest updates on the official Nanxun Culture blog on her mobile phone screen and gently bit her lower lip.

The role of the third female character in "Jiu Chong Zi" is certainly good, but who can resist being tempted by the "Chinese Superhero Movie Universe Trilogy" with a 3 billion investment?

If it can achieve similar box office results to "The Wandering Earth", it will be another milestone in the history of Chinese cinema, and its representative significance will be enormous!
Hu Lianxin knew that Lin Li had been in Beijing recently, but she had no idea what he was doing specifically. She had been rejected several times when she asked Lin Li out. It was estimated that Lin Li would only meet her once after about five appointments.

But this time, she must find a way to meet Lin Li.

Even if her waist is broken and her mouth is numb, she must get a role in the trilogy from Lin Li!

Thinking of this, Hu Lianxin's eyes flickered. Thinking of Lin Li's strong figure, she couldn't help but slowly stretched her hand down, her eyes gradually blurred.

Nazha Studio suddenly released a photo of Dunhuang, and the hairpin on the flying bun is exactly the same as the one in Chen Duling's "Goddess" concept map.

Beijing.

Yang Mi's diamond earrings reflected a cold light in front of the makeup mirror. She placed her mobile phone upside down on the script in front of her. After seeing the updates from Nanxun Culture, she felt that the script she had just received was not pleasing to her eyes.

If she could get Lin Li's scripts like Reba, she would never even look at any other scripts.

"Call and ask!"

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Mi picked up her phone and called Lin Li.

The moment the call was connected, a busy tone sounded, indicating that the other party was on the phone, causing her charming face to change color again and again.

Another step slower!
Which bitch is so fast?
In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Hengdian, Liu Yifei walked barefoot on the Persian carpet, with a piece of fine rice paper on the desk in front of her.

There was heavy rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window. She suddenly poured white tea on the rice paper, blurring out the outline of Nanxun's official poster.

"I just don't believe there is still a man in the domestic entertainment industry that I can't conquer."

"You're not taking the initiative, are you?"

"Then I'll do it!"

After waiting for Lin Li to take the initiative for a long time, Liu Yifei had completely lost her patience and didn't want to be reserved anymore.

She originally thought that Lin Li was just too proud to admit his shame, but he must have some feelings towards her.

However, today she has to face the reality that Lin Li really doesn't seem to care about her that much!

How is this possible?

She is Liu Yifei!

How can Chen Duling and Tian Xiwei compare to me?

Seeing that Nanxun Culture was about to make another big move, she could no longer sit still!
Professor Dai Jinghua, director of the Film and Television Research Center of Beijing University, took off his gold-rimmed glasses and typed the title "Modern Translation of Cultural Totems" in the "Contemporary Film" column.

He specifically compared the comments he had written for "So Cute We Are" and wrote:

"From youth campus to mythical universe, Nanxun Culture has always been cracking the Da Vinci code of traditional narratives, but high-concept films need to be wary of the inflation of cultural symbols. When Zhulong and Thor's hammer appear in the same frame, what exactly are we worshipping?"

After confirming that everything was correct, he clicked the send button.

Zhou Mingyang, former chief analyst of Huayi, posted a long article on Weibo, with dazzling red and green numbers jumping in the data table.

"Compared to the average development cost of 1.2 million US dollars for a single Marvel hero, the average price of 10 billion for the Nanxun trilogy seems to be a premium, but it should be noted that the pre-sale of its derivative products has reached a terrifying number of over million people on the official website. Nanxun Culture is still Nanxun Culture after all, and it never fights a battle without preparation."

The news caused a stir in the industry.

They never imagined that just after the official announcement of the trilogy, Nanxun Culture had already started planning derivative products to make money, and they never expected that so many people would support it.

Isn't this just robbing money?

So many fools?
Sarah, a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter in China, launched a vote on Twitter, with the background image being a collage of Nanxun's concept poster and "Avengers 4."

The title is: "When the Eastern Dragon begins to recruit the Nordic Thunder God, should we panic or be thankful?"

Of the 63 votes that poured in in three hours, % chose "Looking forward to the new mythological era."

The vice president of Universal Pictures retweeted and added a pun: "Maybe Thor's Hammer should get a Chinese green card."

Wang Jianguo, a retired producer of China Film, shared a nine-square grid on his WeChat Moments: from "Monster Hunt" to "Fengshen", each box office curve chart is marked with a blood-red arrow.

"The most dangerous trap in the 3 billion bet is mistaking cultural confidence for a box office aphrodisiac."

“Now we are using our ancestors’ food to create new concepts…”

The text suddenly stopped at a crucial point, and the screenshot went viral among people in the film industry.

It is impossible for a company to be liked by everyone, and the same is true for Nanxun Culture.

The B station UP host with millions of followers, "Movie Wanted", worked overnight to produce the commentary video.

The screen flashes alternately with Jiang Liuer from "The Return of the Great Sage" and the concept map of "Creation of the World".

"When we no longer need the Great Sage to break the Five Finger Mountain, but to reconstruct the new law of the collapse of Mount Buzhou, this may be the true mission of Chinese superheroes."

The screen was suddenly filled with golden bullet comments, and the system prompted "The official account of Nanxun Culture has rewarded 100 interstellar battleships!"

Ichiro Sato, a professor at the University of Tokyo, wrote in his column in the Asahi Shimbun:

"Nan Xun cleverly avoids the childish comparison of "Sun Wukong vs. Superman" and sets Zhulong as the manager of time and space. This Eastern philosophy that escapes the binary opposition of good and evil may be the key to curing Hollywood's addiction to popcorn narratives."

The accompanying picture obviously has a selfish motive, it is a composite painting in the style of Ukiyo-e of a candle dragon flying through Mount Fuji and the Great Wall.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Lin Li and the senior management of Nanxun Culture never took their market seriously.

On this day, the whole world was impressed by the grand gesture of Nanxun Culture.

Some were surprised, while others mocked her.

But no matter what, the initial topic that Nanxun Culture wanted has already been fully attracted.

Despite such a big commotion, Lin Li never showed up and didn't even post a single message on Weibo.

Netizens are particularly curious about whether Lin Li will direct the trilogy himself and whether he will play a role in it. In addition to Chen Duling, will Reba, Tian Xiwei and others play roles in the trilogy?

Everything is unknown, netizens are scratching their heads and can only worry.

Since the day Nanxun Culture officially announced the news, various news related to it, whether true or false, can be heard every day.

For example, which male actor got the leading male role in the trilogy, which female actress got the leading female role, Nanxun Culture’s design concept for a certain character, and how it spent a lot of money to create a piece of clothing for a certain character, and so on.

In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation passed, and Lin Li also welcomed his new identity, becoming a graduate student at Renmin University.

On the first day of school, he received an invitation to a variety show from Yang Weidong of Pants Video himself over the phone.

Hearing the name of the variety show he mentioned, Lin Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
