Chapter 286 Share Distribution
“The setting of this movie is very good, and the three views are also correct!”
After listening to Lin Nan’s introduction, Han Sanping said with great satisfaction.
“In past science fiction films, it was always Americans who protected mankind and saved the earth.
Since this is a co-production, our image must be highlighted.”
< br>
Lin Nan added that he had worked hard on the script.
In any case, China Film Group will definitely be onboard for this co-production. Many formalities will be much easier if Han Sanping comes forward.
"Just our two families?"
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, the old man's old habit has happened again!
“Which one else?”
Han Sanping frowned and thought of Shanghai Film and other companies for a moment.
"Director Han is the only one who knows about this, but this is the first co-production project I have initiated, and I still want to bring one or two more."
Hearing from Lin Nan At these words, Han Sanping's frown slowly relaxed.
He nodded, "You have considered the favor aspect quite well."
A large-scale co-production science fiction film is very tempting to many companies. .
Lin Nan uses it to consolidate his network of contacts, and the effect will definitely be very good.
“This consideration, on the other hand, is also to share risks and pressure.”
Hearing the words “share risks and pressure”, Han Sanping’s spirit perked up, which means the scale of investment .
"Approximately how much?"
"This will have to wait until the project is completely finalized and the professional team will give a budget.
But I guess it should be similar to "Inception"..."
"Okay! Very good...”
…………
“The Great Earthquake” officially brought domestic movies into the era of 600 million box office.
Huayi established a solid position in the private sector As the leader of the film company, drafts were flying all over the place.
Although the GEM data is somewhat unimportant, the rise in stock prices is a good thing after all.
Many people in the industry also noticed that LeTV, which was successfully listed on the GEM on the same day, heard that its performance was also very good...
...
"I am so concerned about this. I’m not interested in movies.”
Liu Yifei only read the script of “Pacific Rim” for 5 minutes and put it back.
"This is a popcorn-style commercial film. It doesn't matter who the actor is. Its selling point is not the actors, but the graphics, special effects, mechas and monsters."
Lin Nan knew it from the beginning. , Miss Liu will not be interested in this kind of movie.
In Liu Yifei’s heart, she has always yearned for movies and roles that require her acting skills and emotions to be tested.
"Is this the next project?"
"Well, I will take people to Hollywood in the next two days, and this movie will be made into a co-production."< br>
Joint investment; Chinese elements, filming in China; both the creative team and the main actors must have Chinese members. These are the three requirements for a co-production.
Two days passed.
Lin Nan and his group were photographed entering the airport.
The media is a little excited, there is definitely news. Every time Lin Nan goes to the airport, it's always business.
“Who is traveling with Director Lin?”
"There seems to be someone from China Film Group, and the one talking side by side is Ye Ning from Wanda Pictures..."
"Where are we going? What are we doing?"
...
"Han Sanping is proud again!
Having the power to import movies is so domineering..."
Ren Zhonglun was a little helpless. He still knew about this from China Film.
Lin Nan brought two companies together this time. A state-owned enterprise and a private enterprise, very thoughtful.
Shanghai Film cannot compete with China Film, so we can only stare.
At this time, many film companies in the industry are also paying attention to this matter and have some vague suspicions.
"There is a high probability that there will be another project, and it should not be a small project!" Wang Zhonglei estimated.
"There will be news in a few days. You can go and ask if we have a chance."
Wang Zhongjun looked calm and calm. Huayi is not short of money now.
......
At this time, Lin Nan and his party had not yet landed.
In the first class cabin, Ye Ning was very energetic.
Wanda has cooperated very well with Lin Nan Pictures in the past few years, and this time it finally sees a "big project".
In Ye Ning’s view, there are not many domestic companies that can participate in co-productions, mainly because there are almost no good projects.
But he believes that Lin Nan’s project must be different from those movies.
"Director Lin, I really want to thank you for giving us this opportunity."
"Among the private companies, Wanda is suitable. Our relationship is already good, and you have a theater chain. ”
They were all acquaintances, so there was no need for Lin Nan to be hypocritical, just say whatever he wanted.
The truth makes people feel more at ease.
"Haha, what Director Lin said is that I hope we can continue to cooperate like this in the future..."
Ye Ning smiled and said, in this regard, Wanda is comparable to Yinghuang and Guangguang. There are many advantages.
The team leader of China Film Group is also an acquaintance, the same one who originally discussed the share of "Inception" together.
For projects like co-productions, it is much more convenient to have China Film.
……
When we walked out of Los Angeles Airport, there were already several cars waiting for us.
"Lin, you didn't bring Crystal with you this time?"
Tom asked with a shocked look on his face.
"I've only been here for two or three days, and she's too lazy to follow me."
Lin Nan explained.
At this time, Ye Ning was already a little impatient.
"Let me introduce to you. Crystal Pictures, Tom; Wanda, Ye Ning."
Listening to Ye Ning's professional "praise", Lin Nan wanted to laugh.
How come Tom, with his body type, is associated with "well-groomed"? The half-full bottle of Chinese knowledge made Tom feel a little carried away...
In a few minutes, a group of people got in the car and left.
......
The venue for the meeting between the parties this time was Crystal Pictures, and the time was scheduled for the next day.
In China, the news is very good.
Photos of Lin Nan and a group of people at the Los Angeles Airport have appeared online.
Many media and insiders even thought of going to Liu Yifei for information, but they couldn't get in touch... That night, Lin Nan went to meet Matt Damon and Leonardo.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Little Plum, who is usually very enthusiastic, is a little wilted today.
Hearing Lin Nan's question, Matt perked up.
He ignored Li Zi, but said with a bad smile: "A few months ago, Kate Winslet got divorced, did you know?"
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously. Head, I seem to have heard of it.
"Matt!"
Leonardo warned.
"Oh! Leon, it's not something that needs to be kept secret. Doesn't the media already know about it?"
After Matt Damon finished speaking, he looked at Lin Nan again, "Then do you know what caused it? "
Now Lin Nan really doesn’t know.
"Leon's "Revolutionary Road" was filmed with Kate, and the director was Kate's husband, oh, ex-husband.
There is a sex scene in it... let their marriage go At the end..."
After hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned.
Good guy, you add drama to the actors and let others put hats on you, but you can’t accept it when it’s over?
"So?" Lin Nan asked.
“The media stopped Leon a few days ago and asked him about this matter. He...”
“My brain shut down and I admitted that this was the reason why their marriage had problems... ”
Leonardo sighed and took over Matt's words.
Lin Nan can only give a thumbs up, this kind of director is awesome!
......
After thanking the two for promoting "Super Body", Lin Nan was ready to leave very late.
"Lin, I remember your promise, the movie script!" Leonardo reminded with a smile.
"By the way, I can compete fairly with him and audition!" Matt interjected.
“Haha, I didn’t forget, I will come to you when I’m ready.
It’s a commercial film, right?”
……
< br>The next day, Crystal Pictures.
China Film, Ye Ning and others came to visit the company early in the morning. They were very interested in this Hollywood film company in which Lin Nan had a stake.
Especially when I see those busy employees, a large number of machines and equipment, and offices with fine division of labor, my eyes light up.
"Director Lin, Tom, does the company still need funds?"
Ye Ning couldn't help but try to ask.
The people from China Film Group also reacted instantly, but they had no such idea.
In state-owned enterprises, it is enough to do your job well.
Lin Nan admired Ye Ning for actually daring to ask this question.
"Ye, our company is running normally and does not need funds."
Tom refused without Lin Nan answering.
"Boss, people from Warner Bros. and Lions Gate are here." The receptionist ran up to the third floor and announced.
A group of people cheered up instantly and looked towards the door.
…………
Hollywood companies also understand the principle that “it’s easy to talk things over with acquaintances.”
It’s still the same two from “Inception” last time.
“Paul, long time no see.”
"Yes, Lin."
......
Today's atmosphere is different from that of "Inception".
According to domestic policies, the Chinese side must account for more than one-third of the investment in co-productions, and there are other conditions.
Lin Nan has decided to participate in the investment in the name of a domestic company.
"Lin, we have evaluated this movie and it is suitable for global distribution, just like "Inception"."
The person from Warner said first.
This means obviously, they want to get post-production and special effects work.
"Then our people will also be involved in post-production projects. This is the principle of co-production, and Warner cannot refuse."
Lin Nan said it very directly.
This is the meaning of co-production, it can send people into post-production, special effects project work, exchange, and learning.
The eyes of the people from China Film Group suddenly brightened up. This is another political achievement! Director Han should be very satisfied.
“Yes, no problem.”
Lionsgate’s expertise is not here, but it will participate in filming and distribution.
China Film’s team, including some people from Lin Nan Pictures, will also participate in the filming, as well as the Chinese-style mecha design...
"Let's talk about the allocation of investment amount..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone perked up.
We started discussing the investment allocation issue at around eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not finalized until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Warner, 25%, is responsible for a portion of the filming and post-production special effects."
"Lionsgate, 20%, is involved in filming and distribution."
"Lin Nan Pictures, 25%, participates in the production."
"China Film, 20%, participates in the filming and production."
"Wanda, 10%, participates in the production."
…………
After finalizing the agreement, the people from Lionsgate and Warner went back to their respective homes.
Lin Nan and others stayed at Crystal Pictures and continued to arrange the following matters.
“This opportunity is rare. Try to send technicians and engineers to the crew as much as possible.
Warner is top-notch in science fiction films and special effects! How much you can learn depends on each person ”
Lin Nan said to Ye Ning and the people from China Film. Doing this will be of great help to relevant domestic technical talents, and it can be regarded as a contribution...
"I didn't expect that they actually made a budget in advance, and it was another 160 million US dollars!"
The people from China Film Group sighed with emotion.
"Director Lin, then, let's go back and start preparations?"
"Well, let's go back as soon as possible. There are many things to do in co-productions, so everyone prepares as soon as possible. China Film Group has to run around It’s a matter of filing.”
“No problem, Director Han will do it in person.”
