Chapter 303 Stock Dividends, Berlin? Cannes!
"The Orphan of Zhao" is released.
Although Director Chen had stumbled several times before, the audience still chose to believe in him.
The box office on the first day was 27 million! This data is already very good.
A large number of actors and stars expressed their opinions one after another, and there was endless praise.
"This data is stable. The minimum guarantee of 300 million is no problem, the probability of 400 million is not small, and there is hope for 500 million..."
"Director Chen is worthy of being Director Chen. A great director takes action, that's why he is so strong!"
……
The performance of "Laughing Out Loud", which was released a day earlier, was not bad either, with 22 million on the first day.
But compared to Chen Kaige, Zhao Benshan is much more low-key.
"We don't have big ambitions. We will be satisfied if the total box office reaches 150 million."
The comments from ordinary viewers online are quite interesting.
“I think "Laughing in the River" is better than "The Orphan of Zhao"..."
"Director Chen started high and low again. In the second half of the movie, it seemed like he had changed directors. It’s so messy..."
"Huang Xiaoming and Ge You performed the Broken Back Feeling..."
"When can he return to the level of "Farewell My Concubine"?"
"To sum up, Chen Kaige worked hard to make another bad movie!"
......
Unlike Zhao Benshan’s box office increase on the second day, the data of “The Orphan of Zhao” dropped by 4 million on the second day of Sunday.
Fortunately, within two days, the box office still managed to reach the 50 million mark.
Lin Nan saw the news that Chen Kaige and his wife were interviewed by the media.
“The audience needs to watch this movie several times before they can understand its deeper meaning.
I have subversively modified and filled in the original story. Virtue..."
Sometimes, I have to obey Chen Kaige, he always believes so firmly that he is right.
The praise from the stars in the circle has slowly died down...
.........
"Director Lin, the special effects of "Painted Skin 2" are expected to be completed in late December."
Lin Nan nodded, it took five months, which is very efficient. Not bad.
“What about the other two works?”
“The Painting on the Wall is small and will be finished by the end of this month; the Warring States Period is huge and will not be completed until next year.”< br>
"I understand."
After the Tiangong color employee finished his report, he left the office.
Lin Nan looked at the invitation letter to the annual meeting that Huayi had sent a few days ago with a playful expression on the table.
"This is the first time I have attended the annual meeting of another company..."
But Lin Nan also wanted to know how many shares Huayi would give him as dividends this time.
The next morning.
Liu Yifei and Lin Nan both got up early.
One is going to record a talk show, and the other is going to attend the Huayi Annual Meeting.
"Oh God! Can you change the outfit you are wearing?"
Lin Nan said with a speechless expression.
"I don't want to change, I think they look good. I have pink stockings."
Liu Yifei refused with a smile. She chose this outfit for a long time.
“You really don’t want to change?”
“You definitely won’t change!”
……
After persuading to no avail, Lin Nan had no choice but to give up. He kept his head down while eating, out of sight and out of mind.
In this way, Liu Yifei still wandered in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, very provocatively.
At around nine o'clock, two cars drove out of the villa area at the same time.
…………
The annual meeting of a listed company is full of pomp and extravagance.
Lin Nan is an outsider, and today he only cares about shareholder dividends.
The actors who left Huayi, including Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Bingbing, all came because of the stock deal.
“I’m going to sell them all in a few days.”
Zhou Xun stood next to Lin Nan and whispered.
“Have you made up your mind? Aren’t you ready to wait for a higher price?”
Zhou Xun shook his head, "No, I'm not interested in these things in the first place. I have to thank you for making so much money."
"You're welcome."
Lin Nan thought about it Thinking about Zhou Xun's little stock, he was too lazy to make that idea.
Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are different. Even if they leave, they still have a good relationship with Hua Yi.
At this moment, the two of them were hanging around Wang Zhonglei and others, chatting and laughing.
From time to time, actors would come to Lin Nan to say hello, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Hanyu...
Lin Nan saw many familiar faces.
There are so many artists from Huayi, including those from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Feng Yuanzhuo and others.
At this moment, Huayi is at the peak of its power. For the lucky draw for artists, all cash is prepared, ranging from hundreds of thousands to thousands.
In the end, there was a large group of artists who had nothing. Wang Zhongjun stepped forward and handed out consolation prizes of one thousand yuan.
"Director Lin, look at it, are they almost all small artists who have won small prizes or nothing at all?"
Zhou Xun said without leaving any trace.
Lin Nan glanced at it, and it was true, the leader was a girl with a little bun face, Zhao Liying.
After the matter of Huayi's internal artists is finished, the next step is the highlight of the day, which is the increase in stock distribution and dividends.
Wang Zhongjun first drew a big pie for his own artists, "The company will continue to allocate shares to everyone in the future..."
...
Star shareholders were named one after another to allocate additional shares.
Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jizhong, Feng Xiaogang...
Zhou Xun’s 1 million shares turned into 1.15 million.
Lin Nan’s 8 million turned into 9.2 million...
Many young artists below looked at the front with envy. Those who allocated shares were all big names in the industry.
Many people whose contracts are about to expire have noticed Lin Nan...
“Perhaps, when the contract expires, we can try our luck at Shanhai Media?”
…………
As soon as Huayi’s annual meeting ended, news from the outside world spread.
How many stocks Lin Nan and others held and how much they were currently worth were all reported.
"The stocks alone are worth nearly 300 million?"
"It's so rich..."
Zeng Jia and Yang Mi looked at each other, this was the first time. Intuitively feel the gap, the gap in status and wealth.
“As an actor, I didn’t know that I could have so much money in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse in the Year of the Horse. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Director Lin...”
Yang Mi said with emotion.
She thought of Liu Yifei again, who is one of the producers of "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Xing Lun".
Unconsciously, they were already in two different classes.
"What to do with so many thoughts, let's take our time. Let's take a look at this song first. It will be recorded in a few days."
Zeng Jia interrupted Yang Mi's thoughts and said In her opinion, Yang Mi thinks too much, which will affect her mood.
"What song?"
"The song sent by the crew is for you, the heroine, to sing the theme song. There will be one version for men and women, and they will be placed in each episode."
Yang Mi answered Passed a few pages handed over by Zeng Jia.
""The Offering of Love"?"
"Yes, the lyrics are quite catchy." Looking at the lyrics on the staff, Yang Mi nodded and read out:< br>
"Hold you in my hands and burn incense religiously, cut a piece of candlelight to light up the economy..."
Although I know that I am not good at singing, I got the theme song, Yang Mi He will never let go.
…………
When Liu Yifei got out of the car wearing pink stockings, a knee-length printed skirt, a small suit, and black high heels, Lin Nan was a little bit dumbfounded.
If this were applied to other girls, it would definitely look shabby, but Liu Yifei managed to wear something different.
“They all say that I look good, but you are the only one who has any objection.”
After not seeing each other for a day, the first time she saw Lin Nan, this was what Miss Liu said! Sure enough, girls have really good memories in this regard, they hold grudges!
“I just realized now that it’s really pretty.”
Lin Nan nodded and said seriously.
"Hmph, you look so insincere, so fake!"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, then burst into laughter.
"However, I choose to believe you..."
...
The box office trend of "The Orphan of Zhao" was even worse than the original "The Promise".
After 27 million on the first day, it went down all the way without any return.
On the third day, 20 million fell directly, on the fourth day, 15 million, 12 million, 10 million...
No matter how Chen Kaige and others promoted it, it was This downward trend cannot be stopped.
Misfortune never comes singly. It was revealed that "The Orphan of Zhao" stole the box office, and the videos secretly shot in the theater were posted online.
The money spent was the money from "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" and the tickets were given to "The Orphan of Zhao".
Original words from the theater staff: It’s all the same and it won’t affect your movie watching.
The audience doesn't care who did it, whether it's true or not. They only recognize Chen Kaige, who instantly fell into the center of public opinion.
Coupled with the gossip about Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi, the topic of this movie has firmly occupied the headlines.
The public relations level of Fan Bingbing Studio is top-notch.
Lin Nan noticed the name of the publicity director and the woman behind Fan Bingbing, Yang Tianzhen!
...
"If You Are the One 2" and "Let the Bullets Fly" started their last promotion before release.
Jiang Wen’s operation is very cool, and the last promotional video is full of useful information.
A large number of obscene inscriptions, bloody, violent and nude scenes.
This makes many people curious, how did it pass the review? He didn’t ask for rectification!
"Director Kai Ge's movie is probably hopeless. When I premiere it here, you must be there on time. Remember to bring Yifei with you."
"You just have to invite people to support you. With this tone, Director Chen at least sent me an invitation letter." Lin Nan joked.
"Which of us brothers will be with whom? Don't be so polite. It's settled.
It's a pity that Zhang Yi doesn't have time. Why don't we let him take a leave from the crew of "Pacific Rim" Come back?”
Jiang Wen thought it was quite beautiful!
As soon as I hung up the phone, a call came in from the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Nan guessed what was going on in an instant.
"Hello, Mr. Cai?"
"Director Lin, our movie "Step by Step" is going to start shooting in the next two days. You can send a supervisor over there..."
“Okay, I’ll let someone arrange it.”
"I wonder if Director Lin is free this time, like the last time he came to visit the cast of "Sword and Sword III"?"
Cai Yinong asked expectantly. If Lin Nan can come, the promotion of this TV series will be more effective.
"It won't work this time. The post-production of my film will take a long time, and there are still many things to do after that. I will ask Yue Jun to represent the company and me to visit the team."
Lin Nan simply refused. The last time he visited the cast of "Sword and Sword III", at least there were acquaintances such as Hu Ge. This time, he had no idea of knowing the actor.
Hearing Lin Nan's decisiveness, Cai Yinong stopped forcing it, but he still felt it was a pity.
Film and television news reports came out quickly.
So far, Tangren's reputation in the TV industry is still very good.
"The clear-cut drama "Bubu Jingxin" jointly produced by Tangren Film and Lin Nan Pictures will start shooting in Hengdian in the near future."
"Starring: Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong ..."
The media is like a cat that smells fish.
"Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade", aren't these the materials for a head-on confrontation?
For a time, all kinds of press releases came out, including the previous grievances between Yang Mi and Tang Ren...
...
After the lifting of the stock ban, Huayi For the first time, large order transactions appeared.
Zhou Xun sold all the stocks at once and cashed out.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaoming sold two million shares...
In an interview, Zhou Xun bluntly said that he didn't have much idea about stocks or anything, and he just wanted to stop worrying about it after selling.
Huang Xiaoming is also very direct. He wants to open a studio, sign artists, and make film and television investments, and he needs capital turnover.
He also added that even if he sells some stocks, it will not affect his relationship with Huayi. Emotional intelligence is online anytime, anywhere!
……
"Lin Nan, does your company really have no plans to go public in the future?"
Han Sanping called again after a long time to ask about this matter.
Bona was successfully listed on NASDAQ. It was the first domestic film and television company to be listed in the United States. The news spread and stimulated the entire film and television industry.
Everyone looked at their peers and finally settled on Lin Nan Pictures.
Looking at all the production companies, the one with the most outstanding performance is not Bona, but Lin Nan Pictures. No one in the industry doubts this.
The combined box office of the four movies this year is really scary!
"Your call is already the fifth I have received today." Lin Nan joked.
"Just tell me whether you have this idea? If so, let me know. The higher-ups support the listing of private film companies!"
"No. My own company makes the decision. Why should I bring someone else with me?
I don’t lack that much money, so it’s good now.”
Lin Nan answered simply. It was impossible for him to let Lin Nan Pictures go public.
“Okay, I get it.
You have such a big tone, look at other companies, which one is not eagerly rushing to go public?”
< br>After hearing Lin Nan’s clear statement, Han Sanping didn’t say much more.
After two days, not only the film circle, but also the financial circle knew that Lin Nan Pictures was a shady character.
When other companies hear the word "IPO", they all warmly welcome them, but it's different here with Lin Nan.
……
Heavenly colors.
Liu Yifei sat in a separate seat, watching the full version of "The Star" without any deletions, and was moved by herself from time to time, wiping a few tears.
“This version is very good. I can take it back and watch it with my mother, or we can call it together.”
"Berlin invited me to bring this movie over, what do you think?"
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei sat up instantly, "Really?"
Watch The girl was very excited when she came out.
Lin Nan nodded, "Yeah, really."
What he expected did not happen. Liu Yifei did not urge him to agree, but sat down again after being happy.
Liu Yifei thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Lin Nan and asked seriously:
"I heard that the films favored by the Berlin Film Festival have never been this kind of literary and artistic films, but realistic themes. Right?"
"Yes, you are right." Lin Nan nodded and answered in the affirmative.
"Then let's not go to Berlin. Let's try Cannes?"
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a pair of dark eyes, with a hint of expectation.
"It's the most competitive place among the three major film festivals.
However, we can give it a try and treat it as a trip..."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said softly.
"Okay."
Miss Liu instantly brightened up and shouted happily, with a bright smile on her face...
Today is still a chapter.
I feel more serious than yesterday, I think it will be over soon.
When I feel better these two days, I will recover...
