Chapter 221 Artist Manager
Lin Nan heard from Yue Jun that Zhou Yi held a press conference for three TV series.
But there were very few media present, and none of them were very famous.
Nearly all of the actors and stars who came to support us were second-tier or below.
In the corner of the portal, Lin Nan saw this text message and took it over in just one sentence.
However, some media reported that Jiang Yuerou went to Lin Nan Pictures, as well as photos of her leaving.
In this regard, Jiang Yuerou’s response was very direct.
"I just went to talk about cooperation, but the cooperation was not successful..."
The consequences of this answer are not good.
Everyone knows that Lin Nan is very talkative in the field of film and television investment.
Li Yang's "Blind Mountain", Cao Baoping's "Li Mi's Conjecture", Lu Yang's "Blind Cinema"...
More than one project lost money.
A cooperation that even Lin Nan could refuse, well, at least in the eyes of insiders, it was Lin Nan who refused.
A project that he can refuse is most likely not a good project.
Yue Jun came back and talked about this matter with Lin Nan, who was speechless.
"Does this mean that the industry is less optimistic about Zhou Yi's project now?"
"Haha, it seems like this."
Lin Nan was also a little helpless, and he didn't say anything. , just cheated Jiang Yuerou?
But he also had to admit that this situation would be very beneficial to him.
On the other side, Zhang Yimou's movie is officially named "Three Guns to Surprise".
Incidentally, the cast was announced.
This makes the film industry a bit stunned, as more than half of them are not professional actors.
"Are these people sure they can act well in movies?"
There are constant doubts online and in the industry.
Lin Nan heard that Zhao Benshan had said that as long as the person chosen by Zhang Yimou did not need to be paid, he would invest the money instead.
The most surprising thing is that the script originally prepared by Zhang Yimou actually needs to be revised twice.
The person involved in revising the script is Zhao Benshan’s royal screenwriter.
In Zhang Weiping’s words:
“This cooperation is a process of ‘learning from each other’s strengths.’
Yimou will continue to shoot the big scenes he is good at and create magnificent and unique visions Effect.
And with the help of the humor of the Errenzhuan actors, the plot is enriched, making the film a win-win situation for both the visuals and the story. "
Lin Nan just said that "Blood Maze" is so famous, Zhang Yimou's screenwriting team cannot be so unreliable.
After working on it for a long time, it turns out that the biggest problem lies here !
The script of Lao Mouzi is operated by the screenwriter who wrote the sketch and the duo!
Are you really not worried about anything happening?
But for Zhang Weiping to dare to play like this, he probably got a lot of benefits.
On the other side, registration for this year’s Golden Rooster Awards has begun again.
Cao Baoping called Lin Nan immediately. He wanted to take the movie to participate in the review.
"If you and Ning Hao can direct a commercial film, you don't have to worry about Golden Rooster.
I can't do it anymore. I'm going to give it a try..."
Lin Nan is the producer. If Cao Baoping has this idea, he must communicate with him.
"Teacher Cao, haven't you been waiting for the film festival? Now that registration has started, let's go.
You are a professor from Nortel, so your treatment must be different from that of Ning Hao and me. , at least it will be more fair, haha."
Cao Baoping laughed out loud when he heard Lin Nan's words, but didn't say anything.
This sounds ironic, but it is true.
Lin Nan has achievements, but lacks qualifications; and he has qualifications, but no achievements.
When compared to domestic film festivals, he has an absolute advantage.
"Wait until you go to Venice to win a prize, then come back and slap them in the face, haha..."
Cao Baoping finally joked.
“You really think highly of me, I take it as a blessing.”
Cao Baoping was very efficient. Within two days, Lin Nan saw "Li Mi's Conjecture" on the official website of Jinji.
…………
Lin Nan continued to improve the script, well, adapt it.
Time passed day by day, and the graduate students who were about to graduate from Nortel returned from various crews one after another.
Undergraduate students, many are unable to survive in the film and television industry after graduation and choose to change careers.
But Nortel's graduate students are different. They can basically find jobs easily within the circle.
The filming location of "Cinema for the Blind" is in the capital.
Lin Nan went to the scene specifically to have a look.
Every time I see Wang Jinsong, he can think of "Slingshot Man", and his acting skills are explosive.
"I also asked Director Lin to come over when. After all, I invested more than two million, haha."
Lu Yang's personality is more outgoing than Guo Fan.
“Isn’t it coming?” Lin Nan smiled.
He had tested Lu Yang before and asked if he was willing to sign to him.
The latter has considered it for several days and has not yet given a reply.
It can be seen that he is an idealist.
After greeting Wang Jinsong and others, Lin Nan and Lu Yang went aside to chat.
“The male lead I chose was the same as me. It was his first time making a movie, but his performance was very outstanding.”
Lu Yang talked about the male lead in this movie No., obviously very satisfied.
Hai Yan's artists will get stuck in the TV industry over time and be unable to get out of the TV industry. In the end, they can only keep filming TV series.
Lin Nan believes that Zhou Yiwei will cherish the opportunity given by Lu Yang.
"How are you thinking about it?"
Lu Yang smiled helplessly, "I originally planned to open a studio or a small company."
Lin Nan really didn't know this answer. Did you expect to reject yourself?
Seeing that the other party's voice changed, he continued, "But after thinking about it seriously, I think no one will invest in what I want to shoot."
"What to shoot? "Lin Nan was vaguely looking forward to the answer.
"Martial arts. Director Lin, doesn't he think there are no martial arts films of his own in the mainland?
The famous martial arts films, directors and teams are all from Hong Kong."
Lin Nan knew it.
Lu Yang’s attitude when talking about martial arts movies is like Guo Fan’s first time watching Tiangong Colors. "The industry generally believes that martial arts films are a thing of the past.
Even on Hong Kong Island, haven't there been any good movies for a long time? "
Lin Nan deliberately poured cold water on Lu Yang. The latter would not be unaware of this situation.
"So I said, I guess no one will invest in me. If Director Lin is willing to give it a try..."
This is what Lin Nan is waiting for!
"Let's finish this movie first. Remember what I told you last time? ”
Lu Yang nodded.
"That's not a joke, I happen to have this kind of script over there."
Lin Nan clicked until he clicked, and he believed that Lu Yang understood what he meant.
After the crew started working, Lin Nan watched for a while and then left.
The results of this visit were very good, and Lu Yang basically agreed to his invitation to sign a contract.
After all, ideals also require funds to pay for them, let alone a high-risk ideal like making a movie.
"On the road of being 'taken advantage of', we are getting further and further away..."
Lin Nan laughed at himself.
…………
"The Myth", jointly produced by Yinghuang and Shanghai Film Group Corporation, held a press conference in the capital.
Lin Nan received the invitation but did not go.
Yue Jun came back and told him that several big guys were asking Lin Nan Pictures if they had any plans for their next project.
“What do you say?”
“I must say I don’t know.”
Yue Jun spread his hands. He is responsible for a lot of work in the company, but the movie is not included.
However, today many people asked him about his artist manager.
"Director Lin, we really need to think about artist management."
Lin Nan raised his head and glanced at Yue Jun.
“How do you say this?”
“You may not pay attention to film remuneration, and no actor or agent would dare to ask for a high price in front of you.
But I have a lot of exposure, and the overall remuneration in the industry is rising this year, including various endorsement fees, all rising..."
Lin Nan listened very seriously, and the higher-ups have issued new policies to encourage entry into the financial industry. There will be policy support for the cultural industry in the future.
So, the salary increase is inevitable.
This increase will be completely unbearable...
Lin Nan. I remember that when Liu Yifei was filming "The Condor", the pay per episode was only 8,000 yuan.
"You mean, you want the company to officially launch artist management business?"
The moment he asked this question, Lin Nan already knew the answer in his heart.
“That’s what I think.”
Yue Jun said decisively.
In his opinion, with the company’s brand name, the actors signed will not lack announcements and drama appointments. This cake will only get bigger and bigger in the future.
Lin Nan frowned. He had been avoiding this question. After all, the company's main business was production, which naturally conflicted with artist managers.
But now, it seems that we have to consider this matter.
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Yue Jun, who had been waiting, and said:
“The artist management business is not just about signing people. There must also be supporting agents, assistants, publicity teams, etc.”
“I know that Zhang Yi’s team is mine,” Yue Jun said with a smile.
"Okay, you can come up with a plan for the artist management business and give it to me. We'll talk about the rest later..."
——
There is no need to keep this kind of thing a secret.
Soon, word spread throughout the entire circle that Lin Nan’s company was going to be an artist manager, and it was said to be “pretty good”.
"Director Lin wants to sign someone?"
"Only from Nortel?"
"There is an age limit!"
......
I won't say which ones are true and which ones are false. Anyway, there are many people who are interested. There are more companies and actors waiting to see.
When Yang Mi heard this, her mind was racing. Her contract was going to expire within a year.
Several teachers from the acting department called Lin Nan.
His reply was consistent: "It hasn't been decided yet, I have to wait for a while."
Jing Tian saw the news while the crew was taking a break.
"Brother Lin is going to sign an actor?"
For a moment, Jing Tian gently shook his head, "It's good to call him Brother Lin..."
Liu Yifei seemed to have gone to Nortel to get some professional books on filmmaking, and she read them very carefully.
From time to time, circle the key points.
Lin Nan looked at the girl's serious look and asked: "Aren't you going to ask me something?"
"What are you asking? Do you want to be an artist manager?"
“Yes.”
Liu Yifei's eyebrows were curved and her smile was bright.
Said seriously: "This is a good thing. The boss lady is looking forward to having more employees, hehe..."
Lin Nan gave a thumbs up, "Well said, there are big The posture of a woman!"
Before Lin Nan could react, Liu Yifei ducked and came to him.
“Big lady?”
The girl's smile was filled with murderous intent, and she took action.
"Hiss...it hurts, it hurts...Sissi, let go..."
"Hmph, how many women are there to let you speak without restraint?"
" One, just you..."
