That year Huayu

At around 2 p.m., when Alibaba Pictures was holding a high-profile premiere ceremony for Eternal Love, news from the Venice International Film Festival suddenly appeared...

The result was that the film festival's newsletter, along with a host of other freshly released film and television news, ganged up on and stole the limelight from the red carpet premiere of "Eternal Love"!

“At 7:00 a.m. Italian time, the 74th Venice International Film Festival released the first list of shortlisted films:

"Adapted from a popular IP, the ancient costume fantasy drama "Ever Night" has officially released its cast list. The drama brings together many top actors, powerful celebrities and young professional actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including but not limited to:

Chen Feiyu, Zheng Shaoqiu, Li Ming, Jin Shijie, Ni Dahong, Hu Jun, Tong Yao, Andy On, He Zhonghua, Liu Peiqi, Li Zixiong, Shi Shi... Song Yiren, Meng Ziyi, Yuan Bingyan..."

…

"Finally, Director Lin has followed the old path of Director Jia Zhangke - he has started to compete for the grand prize of the international A-class film festival with his wife 'again', haha..."

"In the process of competing for awards with his wife, Director Lin can learn from Director Jia Zhangke's perseverance, but he should never learn from his luck, because Xixi certainly doesn't want to always be 'the same old thing.'"

"They publicly agreed to their relationship in Venice, and won the gold medal in their first competition in Venice... Shouldn't the Venice Film Festival organizing committee be more careful this time? This is a perfect ending anyway."

…

"Oh my god, he is indeed the son of Director Chen. This kind of luxurious and heaven-defying lineup... There is no doubt that it is for the prince!"

"Oh, that's the right idea. If you want to promote someone, you have to start with TV dramas. As for movies? That's too out of touch with reality."

"The person above mentioned is referring to Da Tiantian, right? When she debuted, one or two TV series could have solved the problem of her popularity, but she spent so many movie resources to achieve it..."

"I'm looking forward to this drama. Look, Zheng Shaoqiu and Li Ming haven't acted in a TV series for many years, but Director Chen insisted on asking them to take care of his son! The quality of this drama is likely to be excellent..."

"Wolf Warrior 2" continued to advance by leaps and bounds on the last day of July and is undoubtedly the top movie in the entire film industry and in the minds of everyone on the Internet.

But even so, it did not affect the rising momentum of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei in the afternoon, who rightfully became the focus of the entire domestic film and television industry.

After all, everyone is doing their own thing and not interfering with each other.

Lin Nan was fine, as he had already been a frequent visitor to international A-level film festivals, so he was naturally calm, and the result of being shortlisted this time was also something he had expected;

After all, he is the Golden Lion-winning director of Venice, and the copy of "Marriage Story" was also picked up by the Asian film selector of Venice himself.

But Liu Yifei was different. She was so excited for the whole afternoon, with a constant smile on her face. She gave Lin Nan a sweet feeling, and she unconsciously revealed many cute and playful expressions.

Then came Shu Chang and Han Jianu, who drove over as soon as the news about them in Venice appeared on the Internet.

The two of them started to make a lot of noise as soon as they entered the door, as if they were good sisters who had already decided to go and receive the award...

"The opening ceremony just announced is on the 30th of next month, but I remember that your movie 'The Second Generation of the Demon' seems to be released on the 28th, which is the Chinese Valentine's Day, right?" Zhou Xun's performance when he came over was undoubtedly much more normal.

She was worried that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would miss the release of "The Second Generation of the Demon" due to time constraints, because the crew would definitely leave early.

"Well, I was just about to inform you. We have booked a flight for the morning of the 26th, and someone from Red Star Wood will contact you later to help you book the ticket. As for 'The Second Generation of the Fairy', we had no plans to hold a premiere, so you don't need to worry about the public screening." Liu Yifei waved at Zhou Xun and explained enthusiastically.

"Haha, this is a great time arrangement! We're leaving the day after the birthday party and housewarming party. Anyway, we have to collect the gifts from the day before, right?" Zhou Xun sat next to Liu Yifei and the other two, laughing and joking.

"Yeah, that's right, Xixi thinks so, hehe..." Before Liu Yifei nodded, Shu Chang had already given an affirmative answer for her.

"Have you been to the Film Academy recently?" Lin Nan came over with several boxes of ice cream, and asked as he distributed them.

Liu Yifei and the other two who were present understood the hidden meaning of Lin Nan's words, so they all looked at Zhou Xun.

"Not only did I go there, I also ran into Fan Bingbing once."

Zhou Xun scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth and said with a sneer, as if she remembered the scene at that time. Now, everyone was more interested.

"Tell me quickly, was there any tit-for-tat aura clash?" Han Jianu, who liked to join in the fun, teased immediately.

"What are you thinking about? She must be smiling at me. She even greeted me. How many people who can reach this level of status would show their emotions on their faces?" At this point, Zhou Xun instantly looked at Liu Yifei.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not trying to steal your resources." Miss Liu held the ice cream in her left hand and a small wooden spoon in her right hand, smiling innocently.

"In fact, according to the rules of the A-level film festival, a supporting actress can also win the Best Actress Award, although it's a little difficult. Yifei, why don't you take the initiative to withdraw?"

"The door is over there, you can go." Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately pointed to the entrance of the villa with her right hand holding the spoon. She could hardly hold back her laughter.

Let alone Liu Yifei, Lin Nan and the other two were also amused by Zhou Xun's "Arabian Nights" and said, "Then you might as well kill our producer Liu, or let her kill you humanely, haha..."

…

At around 6 pm, the movie premiere of Alibaba Pictures finally entered the banquet session.

At this moment, the main creators heard the news from the guests on the scene - "Marriage Story" has been officially shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei will work together for the second time to sprint for awards at the three major film festivals.

"This is already the biggest news in the industry today. Everyone says that the possibility of Director Lin winning a second Golden Lion is very small, so if there is an award, it will most likely be an individual award. The award ceremony will be held in more than a month. What if... then her status will really reach the top."

Zeng Jia didn't mean to be jealous at all. She was just expressing her feelings simply because she couldn't bear to be jealous anymore.

"Awards? The film and television industry is becoming more and more prosperous, but good resources are becoming more difficult to obtain. She is guarding a treasure mountain, it's only a matter of time."

While muttering, Yang Mi noticed Luo Jin and Tang Yan in the distance. It seemed that Tang Yan was also talking to Luo Jin about "Marriage Story".

"Wolf Warrior 2 has taken up more than half of the market, and the fans of The Founding of an Army are still supporting it. I'm a little worried about the release on the 3rd, in case it doesn't meet expectations..."

"What is there to worry about? Mr. Zhang and his team are all very confident. No matter how you look at it, there is no need for us to worry."

Zeng Jia comforted Yang Mi, thinking that she was overthinking. In the same period, there was only one movie, "Wolf Warrior 2", which was a smash hit, but this movie had just been released, right? Could it really maintain this momentum for ten days or half a month? If that were the case, it would drain the entire box office? !

…

The first day of August should have been the day with the highest popularity and box office for "The Founding of an Army"; of course, the actual popularity was indeed high, but it was all negative criticism.

In contrast, "Wolf Warrior 2" seems more like a tribute film shot for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army; I have to say, this is really ironic!

In the morning, Lin Nan entrusted someone from ICBC to attend ByteDance's financing conference on his behalf and handle follow-up matters; he himself went to the airport to see off the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2".

Led by Lu Yang, the team, including Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Xiao Yang, Reba, Zhao Jinmai and other core creators, will fly to New York in two batches, three hours apart.

The rest of the cast will arrive at the crew one after another within the next 10 days, and filming will start on time on the morning of August 10th, New York time.

"Director Lin, I plan to finish the filming in two months and return before the end of October. As for the release date, I really suggest that you consider the Spring Festival schedule and release it on the same day as Operation Red Sea.

A mainstream commercial blockbuster and a comedy commercial blockbuster. These two films belong to different tracks. We can definitely join forces to crush them... We can divide up the Spring Festival schedule among ourselves..."

Lu Yang's joking suggestion before boarding the plane made Wang Baoqiang and his companions excited, and they all looked eager to try.

"Well, I can consider it."

Lin Nan did not object, but nodded with a smile.

Because Lin Nan Pictures already has a brand effect, the two commercial blockbusters that it participated in the investment and hosted the shooting and production joined forces during the Spring Festival, which can completely bless each other and bully other films.

But once the release date is really confirmed, people in the circle will probably be very excited!

Light.

Wu Wei's face was full of anger and he went straight to Wang Changtian's office.

"Director Wang, that movie 'Sky Hunter' is so disgusting. It's just trying to ride on the popularity without even saying hello? And that Li Chen, this kind of person is really fucking..." It was too dirty, Wu Tian didn't curse out loud.

Wang Changtian was also helpless at the moment. The new propaganda press release was a bit too much, but...

"But there's nothing we can do. With the lineup of producers of Sky Hunter, what can we do? Protest? Maybe in their eyes, being able to take advantage of our popularity is a face-saving move!"

Wang Changtian couldn't help showing his anger while speaking, and his words were a little sarcastic.

"Where's Director Lin? He can't be unaware of this, right?" Wu Wei thought of Lin Nan.

"Call him. I saw the news half an hour ago and he seemed to be seeing Lu Yang, Wang Baoqiang and others off at the airport..."
