Chapter 284 Planning an IPO
The ideas Lin Nan gave Lu Zheng were very effective.
The box office of "My Beautiful Boss" reached 8.6 million on the first day.
Although the lineup is not very big, the reviews are basically good.
“A very pure romance film, although it is a cliché of a poor boy and a rich girl, but it is very healing...”
"There is no kissing scene, a very clean love movie!"
"Jing Tian's acting skills seem to be improving!"
"The heroine is as extravagant as the one in "The Devil Wears Prada" Meryl Streep..."
...
Lin Nan saw some reviews and said now that her acting skills have improved, but I am afraid she will criticize her again later.
The film schedule of "Earthquake" has indeed been lowered a bit as Han Sanping said, but it is still beyond the normal line.
Huayi chose not to respond to the collective accusations from production companies in the industry, including the ten-day delay.
The most practical thing is when the meat is in your mouth. A little accusation is nothing.
A transoceanic phone call came over.
"Tom, if I still receive your call at night, your year-end bonus will be gone."
"Oh, no.
Lin, please don't be so stingy. I'm calling to tell you good news."
Hearing this, Lin Nan reacted instantly.
It should be a matter of the box office of "Super Body".
“Say, how much?”
"Paul just got the data and sent it to me.
I didn't waste a minute, and you actually want to deduct my year-end bonus?!"
"The 5%, you want No more waiting..."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, the other end of the phone became anxious.
“103 million, yes 103 million! You should be able to see the news after dawn over there.”
To be honest, this number was already higher than Lin Nan's expectations.
After all, this is Liu Yifei’s first attempt at a heroine role. In his expectation, 90 million would be very good.
“You should thank Leon and Matt later. They helped us shout twice during the process.”
Tom reminded.
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously, "I understand. I will thank them face to face when I get back to you."
This favor is considered owed.
……
On the second day of August, the film and television industry is extremely lively.
Lin Nan's "The Martian", after holding the domestic film box office record for 21 months, was surpassed and wiped out by "Earthquake".
""The Great Earthquake" lasted for 11 days and grossed 450 million at the box office, becoming the new domestic film box office champion..."
"Director Lin Nan has become a thing of the past, and "The Martian" has become history."
"No, Director Lin has not lost, he still has "Thieves". We will be back..."
< br>......
The Internet is full of news about the "new king's coronation", it's so exciting.
The media’s mouth cannot be blocked.
Lin Nan didn't care at all about losing the box office record.
After searching for a long time, he found the news about "Xiu Chun Knife" under a lot of movie information.
"Director Lu Yang's first costume film "Xiu Chun Knife" had a box office of 14.8 million on the first day..."
Seeing this data, Lin Nan felt more relieved and contented.
The market for martial arts movies is getting smaller and smaller. Especially for traditional martial arts films, there is even less room for survival.
For example, "Xiuchundao" adds official power and national justice.
The "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" that Xu Ke is currently working on focuses on martial arts + 3D technology.
Everyone is looking for another way.
…………
The crew of "Palace".
When Yang Mi learned about the first-day box office of "Xiu Chun Dao", she was very excited.
"Mimi, you are the heroine. This movie is definitely worth hundreds of millions!"
Zeng Jia shook Yang Mi and said excitedly.
"Yes, this will be my first 100 million yuan box office movie starring, haha..."
"Congratulations, Mimi."
"Congratulations..."
Feng Shaofeng, Tong Liya and others walked over one after another with smiles on their faces.
......
At noon, Sina first published the box office results of "Super Body" in North America in July, which caused another sensation.
“Lionsgate News, the sci-fi action movie “Superbody” has been in theaters for one month and has grossed US$103 million at the box office, making a huge profit...”
Although it lost to "Earthquake" domestically, the results of "Super Body" in North America are impressive.
For a time, the number of topics about Liu Yifei on the Internet surged again.
The little flowers are fine. They are too far away to be jealous.
On the contrary, the big flowers are feeling even more stressed now.
“Is there another one?”
From the crew of "The Grandmaster", Zhang Ziyi felt a little emotional.
She left Hollywood in despair. The glory she once enjoyed as an "International Chapter" still seems like yesterday.
Now she is still unwilling to give in, still thinking about when to fight back.
In Zhang Ziyi's view, Liu Yifei has established a firm foothold in Hollywood with her masterpiece.
""Super Body", Crystal Pictures, Liu Yifei...Lin Nan!"
Not only Zhang Ziyi, but also Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing...
All the big flowers with ideas thought of Lin Nan.
……
From the moment the news came back, Lin Nan’s phone calls never stopped.
How much money "Super Body" made on the books is clearly there, and everyone in the industry can calculate it.
Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian...and even Wang Zhonglei, Yang Shoucheng...
They all called, and their intentions were very clear, and they were here for the next project.
“Call me next time, and you don’t have to ask about the introduction...”
“Money is not a problem. We have money and theater chains, and we can provide Lin with any project of any size. The guide will help..." Wang Changtian even promised that if he brought a light, he would follow him next time.
To be honest, Lin Nan is indeed considering new projects recently. The era of commercial films has arrived.
......
When I returned to the villa, I happened to see Liu Yifei driving back.
This red Ferrari, which Lin Nan rarely saw Liu Yifei drive, actually drove it today.
She usually likes to drive Lin Nan's big G, and she drives it much more often than Lin Nan.
"Where did you go today?"
"Sister Bingbing invited me and said someone wanted to invite me to make a movie, so I went with my assistant to the coffee shop."
Lin Nan frowned, "Who?"
"It's the Deng Wendi you said last time, it's best not to deal with him."
Lin Nan nodded, thinking that it was indeed him she.
Looking at Liu Yifei like this, she obviously wasn't fooled either.
"What's that look in your eyes? I'm not stupid, I definitely didn't agree to anything.
There's not even a script, so I just thought I was going to drink coffee..."
Miss Liu rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Nan.
Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.
I just admire this Ms. Deng a little bit, she is very efficient, so I am eyeing Liu Yifei!
"If I ask you for a script again in the future, just tell me that you want to give it to me for review."
"Well, I'll refuse in your name, I understand." Liu Yifei smiled. said.
“Haha, not bad.”
Lin Nan did mean this.
In his opinion, Deng Wendi would not have any good projects, and he was too scheming to be friends with.
…………
In August, art schools began to mail out admission notices.
Lin Nan saw many child stars posting notices or acceptance text messages on Weibo.
The most eye-catching thing is that Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were admitted to Nortel together and will become classmates.
"Director Lin, Reba has received the admission notice to go to the theater, and the training program can begin."
"Well, you can arrange it.
Tell her, at least, not even two words Years have passed, at least in the first year, you have to calm down and don't let other people go out to take roles."
"Okay."
The media treats these child stars and famous newcomers. They are all paying more attention.
Reba is also in the news reports. After all, he is the first art candidate signed by Shanhai Media.
……
A phone call came over.
Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this note on her phone.
“Hello...”
"Director Lin, it's me, Wang Wei."
"Mr. Wang, are you calling me at this time to ask for movie rights? Or a TV series?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"Director Lin was joking. The funds from the previous financing to buy copyrights and drama series are almost used up.
This call to Director Lin is to inform you, We plan to file for an IPO in early November."
Two and a half years later.
It has been two and a half years since Lin Nan invested in Tudou, and now he has finally reached this point.
“Then what can I do?”
“Director Lin’s personal information will be used in our prospectus.
Tudou is a video website after all. , your main business is movies and TV series.
And you are the director of Golden Lion, internationally famous..."
Lin Nan didn't say anything. This is the obligation of shareholders.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is everything ready? No worries, right?"
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Thank you Lin The director is concerned, everything is OK.”
…………
After finishing the call with Wang Wei, Lin Nan still felt a little uneasy.
Unlike Huayi, which was listed on the GEM, Tudou is targeting Nasdaq...
“Success or failure!”
When Lin Nan invested in Tudou more than two years ago, Considered this issue.
If he succeeds, he will make money.
As for failure?
That's another option.
Lin Nan didn’t think too much about it, the results would naturally come out when the time comes.
He turned on his computer and began to check the situation of the American stock market...
…………
The daily box office of "Earthquake" is still strong and remains at 30 million above.
"Xiu Chun Knife" and "My Beautiful Boss" are also relatively stable, ranking second and third among domestic films.
"Mars"'s blessing to Jing Tian allowed this "My Beautiful Boss" to be fully exposed.
Starry Stars will most likely make money this time.
"Tiantian, our movie has a high chance of reaching over 100 million yuan."
Lu Zheng said with excitement.
Although I thought that a box office of 50 million would be enough, who would think that the box office is too much.
“One hundred million?”
Jing Tian murmured to himself, with a smile on his face.
“Director Lin’s suggestion is very good. I heard from Ye Ning that many viewers who came out of the screening room of "Earthquake" turned around and bought "Xiuchungdao" and "My Beauty" "Boss" ticket."
Lu Zheng said excitedly, and he was about to see the money back.
"Uncle Lu, thank you."
Jing Tian's sudden words made Lu Zheng a little confused.
“Niece, we don’t say this anymore, we should be happy now.
“Warring States” will be finished in about a month, and the results will definitely be better by then.< br>
In the future, we will invest in Hollywood movies ourselves, and you will act..."
