Chapter 62 August’s Gossip
Lu Zheng hung up the phone and shook his head at Jingtian.
"Tiantian, that role has already been decided."
Lu Zheng did not expect that Lin Nan would really have the casting rights, but unfortunately it seems that it has already been decided.
Jing Tian was a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted his attitude.
"Uncle Lu, it's okay. At worst, we will find another opportunity in the future."
"Well, that makes sense. At worst, we will find someone to make the movie ourselves."
Lu Zheng comforted.
After Lin Nan sent Wanda’s people away, he leaned comfortably on the sofa. The matter was settled and he made a net profit of 2.4 million US dollars.
……
Hua Yi's gossip still dominates the entertainment headlines, and Wang Jinghua's ambiguous reply obviously made the media sense something else.
Seeing him build a tall building, watching his building collapse.
How many companies in the industry are waiting to see the joke? The past few years when Huayi has soared and developed rapidly are the years when Wang Jinghua joined.
From the beginning of the millennium to now, Huayi has made great strides to become the leader of private film companies, with a large number of big names under it, making everyone envious.
The news that the princess announced her marriage was just a small ripple, attracting a little attention.
At most, it makes people complain about the man's charm and how he can move between several female stars with ease.
"Mr. Xiao Wang talked to me again. This time he actually said that when the company goes public, artists can hold shares."
Zhu Yawen frowned and said to Lin Nan.
The reporters couldn't get accurate information from the person involved, and they actually started to block the artist, and he was annoyed several times.
“Oh, stocks. The plans of the two CEOs are quite far ahead.”
Lin Nan joked.
"I had planned to follow Sister Hua, but Mr. Wang kept talking again and again, which made me really embarrassed."
"Are you still doing ideological work for everyone?"
Zhu Yawen thought for a moment.
“That’s not entirely true. Those old people who came with Sister Hua didn’t talk much, so they probably knew their attitude.”
Hua Yi is sure to have a headache. In order to recruit Wang Jinghua and her group of actors, the shares of the brokerage company that were jointly opened were 50-50, with Wang Jinghua half and the Wang brothers half.
But Wang Jinghua is doing the day-to-day management. Now that the family is separated, the advantage is not on the side of the two brothers at all.
"You are just a contracted artist. Why do you want to do so much? If I want to win over you, I will give you something ready-made. There is no point in trying to make a big pie."
"Let's go for a walk, Xu Ke "Seven Swords" is on."
Lin Nan asked Zhu Yawen to go watch a movie together. Xu Ke's martial arts is still very good.
"Don't you call those two?"
"Forget it, they are easy to recognize when they go out on the street. I guess there are not many women in the cinema, and there are more men watching martial arts."< br>
"Okay, if you get criticized then, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Yawen had something to say first.
"Seven Swords" invested 140 million. During the promotion, it was said that both the script and the costume props were perfect, and it was said to be the work of Xu Ke's painstaking efforts.
When Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen entered the theater, they discovered that the attendance rate was not too high. It was still during the summer vacation, and only less than one-third of the cinema hall was occupied.
“Is this only the third day of release?”
Zhu Yawen asked uncertainly.
"On the third day, on the 29th."
Lin Nan replied.
In this case, the box office may not be optimistic.
Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen gritted their teeth and finished watching the two-hour movie.
“I don’t seem to understand.”
When walking out of the theater, Zhu Yawen said something.
“The costumes, scenes, and props are all exquisite, and nothing else.”
Lin Nan replied.
He also regretted calling Zhu Yawen over to watch the movie. He was simply deceived by Mr. Xu's name.
No matter how good the costume props and location are, the plot will be bad.
The story structure is very loose and the characters are weak. After watching the two-hour movie, Lin Nan could not think of any impressive plots or characters. No, there was Sun Honglei.
"I'm afraid this movie will suffer a heavy loss, 140 million." Lin Nan muttered.
"Don't let reporters hear these words, or something will happen." Zhu Yawen joked.
“Am I that stupid?”
Lin Nan said angrily. If these words came from his mouth to the reporter, it would be an accident.
“Let’s go quickly.” Lin Nan urged.
The huge poster of "Seven Swords" is still hanging on the theater's promotional wall. Zhang Jingchu's wild approach is also on it. Donnie Yen and Li Ming are in the most conspicuous positions, but they may not be able to save the box office. .
After separating from Zhu Yawen, Lin Nan returned to the company.
"Into the Dust" did not have a large box office, but the division of accounts with theaters cannot be careless; on the other hand, after a month of release, "Dead Silence" came to a perfect end.
An email from Lionsgate has been sent. The North American box office was finally set at 89 million U.S. dollars. Including other regions, the box office still failed to break 100 million U.S. dollars. Unfortunately, it stopped at 98 million U.S. dollars. Hollywood News has already reported the results of "Dead Silence". Lionsgate once again reaped huge box office with a low-cost horror film, and Lin Nan's name has been mentioned again and again.
The news that New Line and Lin Nan will collaborate on a new film is still hot, and the success of "Dead Silence" has spread to China, and Hua Yi's gossip has a tendency to be suppressed.
On the first day of August, there will be benefits.
The image of Huang Shengyi's mute girl in "Kung Fu" is still lingering in the minds of many viewers. She is pure, clean and charming, and Xinghui also packages her in this way...
A set of large-scale photos, appearing openly in men's magazines, half-covered, wet, sexy, seductive, with clear curves.
“This is the latest issue of men’s clothing, tsk tsk, it’s really eye-opening.”
There are not many famous actresses in the past few years of the film academy, and Liu Yifei is naturally beautiful. , and has accumulated huge popularity with several popular TV series.
But in terms of celebrity status, he is not as good as Huang Shengyi who made his debut in Star Girl. That is "Kung Fu". Now, the latter is committing suicide.
Lin Nan flipped through the magazine, "It was quite sudden, a bit self-destructive."
Zhu Yawen ran to Lin Nan early in the morning carrying a men's suit, I don’t know the impact of attention.
"Zhou Xingchi's company now allows actresses to shoot such things?"
Zhu Yawen couldn't believe it, these were the few newcomers the company usually chatted with well. Turn it over, he saw it.
"Why do you say that? It's possible that this star girl made her own decision."
Lin Nan admired the magazine photos with a critical eye.
Zhu Yawen reacted, "Then she would have to offend the company to death."
"Why do you care so much? Maybe others have already thought about their future."
It is only in the entertainment industry that we can achieve this: one moment you are an innocent senior in school, and the next moment your juniors are admiring your sexy photos.
...
The sexy photos of the star girls made the sales of the August 1st issue surprisingly good.
The contrast between purity and sexiness makes men’s clothing consumer groups extremely comfortable.
The media cannot let go of any breaking point. Xinghui saw this issue of the magazine and was very angry.
The fun seems to have just begun. Before Xinghui's side can take action, Huang Shengyi seems to have been pointed out by someone, and appears in the news media as a vulnerable party and a persecuted person.
She took the initiative to contact the media and unilaterally announced the termination of her eight-year agency contract with Xinghui, and expressed her willingness to "redeemed" at any cost, not just losing money, but even quitting the industry.
The image of a weak and helpless person who was persecuted, threatened, and exploited suddenly became clear.
"Master!"
Looking at Huang Shengyi's operation, Lin Nan admired him. Now the media and netizens in the mainland are almost all on the side of the woman, Xinghui The PR is really bad.
Recently, there are all kinds of news in the entertainment industry, and every day is different. There are all kinds of gossip here, and the national star-making program "Super Girl" is also in the finals over there. Lin Nan stays in the company and often hears them say Send text messages to support so and so.
Before the opera ends here, a new stage starts over there.
Wang Jinghua was silent for a while, and suddenly announced directly to the media that her contract with Huayi had expired and would not be renewed, and she would leave Huayi Economic Company.
This time, the person involved came forward to explain directly. It is impossible for the Wang brothers to say that the truth is false.
Compared with other news, this is the biggest focus during this period.
Huayi's status in the film and television industry is second only to several national prefixes, and it firmly holds the top spot in the private sector.
Wang Jinghua spoke directly, so it must be true. A large number of media reporters swarmed in and surrounded Huayi Film and Television Company. There were even more people squatting at the economic company.
As for the reason why Wang Jinghua and Hua Yi parted ways, there were various opinions on the Internet for a while.
A large number of film and television dramas all say that they do not use their own people, that the interests are divided unfairly, that they are squeezed out and wear small shoes, etc.
Following this, artists such as Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, Xia Yu, Yang Ziqiong, etc. all stated that they would not renew their contracts with Huayi.
At first they came with Wang Jinghua, but now it seems they are leaving together.
The departure of top managers and dozens of well-known artists is already a definite fact.
Some media bluntly stated that Huayi would be unable to move forward after losing Wang Jinghua. Mr. Wang’s reply was very concise. Huayi would be unable to move forward only when he left.
Chengtian was once again brought up to make an argument, because Wang Jinghua and dozens of mature artists are a big piece of fat, and everyone is guessing who will swallow this piece of meat.
Chengtian, who was passed on before, was mentioned as a matter of course, but this time there was no sound at all.
It is said that Mr. Wang smashed a lot of things in the office.
The next day, Huayi Film and Television announced that the company had received a US$3 million investment in the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
Huayi, which was originally undervalued, made a strong announcement, and Wanda Cinema also quickly announced that it would participate in "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
A large number of reporters came to Lin Nan's company to inquire. The latter did not show up, but an employee came forward to confirm the matter.
"This is true. Director Lin has signed a contract with Mr. Wang. Huayi will invest three million US dollars to participate in this movie."
Huayi participates in Hollywood movies. It was a shot in the arm for the company after Wang Jinghua left, and it also showed its fist to the industry.
Huayi is still Huayi, and they also have a large team of film and TV series such as Feng Xiaogang.
What shocked the industry was that Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, etc. who were trained by Wang Jinghua did not follow her, but chose to stay in Huayi.
"Sister Hua is very generous. She will stay or leave based on her personal wishes. She will not force anyone, nor will it affect the friendship between everyone."
This is what the relevant personnel said. Information revealed by the media.
It’s really going to be on the shelves soon, I’m always waiting for it!
The time has been set. The editor informed me at 6 o'clock this morning that it will be on the shelves tomorrow. I am nervous and excited. Fortunately, I have some stock so I won't be caught off guard.
Thank you book friends for your support for so long, thank you again!
