Chapter 381 The Joy of Life
There was still discussion in the circle before whether the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" would be as deserted as "Thirteen Hairpins".
The results were somewhat surprising. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
The premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was much more lively than "Thirteen Hairpins".
The major film and television companies in the industry joined in support, and they could not see the anger and anger after being stabbed in the back by Yu Dong!
Actors and stars from the film and television industry gathered together, and media from all walks of life also flocked to the event.
The premieres of the two movies were in sharp contrast. After the news was reported, boos erupted online.
As for why this is the case? The reason is very practical:
Bona is a company listed on Nasdaq, one of the giants in the industry, and it is much more important than the new picture!
However, Lin Nan still didn't go. He didn't care whether Yu Dong was a giant or not.
.........
Lin Nan saw that the movie about Bay Island was also on the Lunar New Year schedule and was released five days after "Pacific Rim".
A few years ago, he asked Yue Jun to go there and negotiate to purchase the copyright of the novel, but the result was not very good.
At that time, he was planning to buy it back and direct it himself, filming for Liu Yifei.
That was also the first time Lin Nan had the idea to direct and act by himself, playing the male and female lead together with Liu Yifei.
But the original author's request made him unable to accept it. The former wants to be the director and cast and film by himself, otherwise he will not sell the copyright.
How could Lin Nan agree to this request? Do you think he was taken advantage of? Spend money to support others? ! Most people who can make such a request have something wrong with their brains.
The final result was that Yue Jun negotiated for more than half a month and even increased the price several times, but still could not reach an agreement.
Simply, Lin Nan gave up the idea and gave up on the novel. There are so many good scripts, and there is no one missing.
“The release in the mainland has been delayed, and it is on the same schedule as "Pacific Rim". Don't even think about the film schedule and high box office..."
…………
Facts have proved that listed companies in the film and television industry still cannot rely too much on actors and stars.
Two days ago, Huo Wenxi came to the capital and met Lin Nan to talk about the crew of "Genius Gunslinger".
At first, Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, there was heavy news from outside today.
Yinghuang has done something big!
Yang Shoucheng paid a lot of money to poach Ge You from Hua Yi.
And this morning, a signing ceremony was held on Hong Kong Island for a 5-year contract.
Yinghuang promised to create three large-scale movies for Ge You during the contract period, with a total investment of no less than 500 million.
"Actually, three days ago, there were rumors that Ge You was leaving Huayi. At that time, Huayi's stock price dropped..."
Yue Jun hesitated, Lin Nan had a bad feeling. He hadn't paid attention to these things in the past two days.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it."
"Director Lin, Huayi's stock price has been falling in the past three days, it has dropped 12 points..."
The company's Everyone knows that Lin Nan has a lot of Huayi shares.
Hearing Yue Jun's words, Lin Nan wanted to vomit blood.
He was still thinking yesterday about whether to cash out Huayi's shares to recycle Tudou's shares. After all, this is quite convenient.
Now it's good, the plan has to change, otherwise it will be a big loss.
"What were the reactions of the two brothers?"
"Announcements were made every day to 'prove' that Ge You's departure would not have much impact on the company, and emphasized that Feng Xiaogang would always stay in Huayi .
Director Feng also posted several Weibo messages to stabilize the morale of the army, haha..."
"Isn't this inconsistent? There is no money here," Lin Nan cursed. road.
Huayi's most profitable movies are almost all co-productions between Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, and they have been for many years.
The previous listing prospectus stated that the company is highly dependent on Feng Xiaogang’s team. And Ge You is the core of Feng Xiaogang's team.
"What a bad luck. Forget it, move the money from other places..."
"What did Director Lin say?" Yue Jun asked curiously. He didn't hear what Lin Nan was mumbling clearly. What.
"Nothing, I said Huayi's stock price will rise back within a few months, half a year, or a year."
Lin Nan replied casually.
……
……
The first batch of staff of "Genius Gunslinger" has set off to Hong Kong Island to arrange the venue.
Lin Nan and other main actors will join the cast to start filming in the second half of the year.
It’s been more than a week since we entered the Lunar New Year season, and the movie market is slightly weak.
After the box office of "Hongmen Banquet" exceeded 100 million, the daily box office could still remain at 6 or 7 million due to the fact that there was no blockbuster competition in the same period and the opponents were worse, but the outcome was already doomed.
As long as "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are released, there is a high probability that "Hongmen Banquet" will be completely killed on the spot.
......
As a member of the film industry, Lin Nan and a large number of filmmakers were attracted by the news from the official media.
The bilateral agreement signed with Dayang in 2001 had just expired, and the country couldn't wait to file a complaint to the WTO.
Accused that the domestic film policy is xenophobic and not open enough, and demanded an increase in the number of imported films and the ratio of revenue sharing.
This matter is different from Zhang Weiping’s petty quarrel.
After entering the World Trade Center, you must abide by the rules of the game. Only by giving up can you gain.
In recent years, China has indeed deliberately squeezed imported films and protected the development of domestic films.
It is said that at least 20 Hollywood split movies are imported every year, but in fact, there is really not more than one... This has also led to a large number of domestic movie companies and filmmakers being like flowers in a greenhouse, not thinking about progress or breakthroughs. Just fool around and make money.
And once they are hurt by imported blockbusters, they will only yell at the film bureau and demand the so-called "Domestic Film Protection Month". The above "protection against shortcomings" has not played a positive role, but my own children have been raised to waste!
At the premiere of "The Martian", Lin Nan proposed to establish his own special effects company. A group of people regarded him as a fool. Now everyone was dumbfounded.
Because of the WTO lawsuit, the domestic side obviously does not have an advantage...
I just don’t know what the specific results will be then.
But domestic filmmakers can all guess that it will definitely not be a good result.
At this moment, many people discovered that Lin Nan's original move was really prescient.
"Tiangong Color, currently operating normally, does not require investment, does not accept shares, and does not consider listing..."
Within one day, many chicken thieves came to contact Lin Nan , there is only one purpose.
...
"The domestic promotion of "Pacific Rim" has been fully launched. Are you sure you won't be able to come to the premiere?"
The movie that Han Sanping values the most during this period is For this "Pacific Rim", after all, box office performance is political achievement!
If this movie can make a lot of money in the global film market, then this political achievement will be huge!
"Director Han, we can't come. We will leave for Hong Kong Island in a few days. By the way, when will the new rules for imported films be released?"
Lin Nan asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but it should be soon. I heard from the Tong Bureau that it must be finalized during the Spring Festival at the latest.
After all, the previous contract has expired, and it will definitely be used next year. New rules.
Lin Nan, the wolf is really coming..."
What Han Sanping said was quite sinister and made people nervous, but Lin Nan understood the meaning behind his words. Understood. At the negotiation table, the domestic side does not have an advantage and is still struggling, hoping to make as few concessions as possible.
"I just need to take care of myself. I wish they would be picked off by wolves, hahaha..."
Lin Nan said jokingly.
"This kind of mentality is not good. We must have a clear stand and be consistent with the outside world..."
"Yes, yes. What Director Han said makes sense. Please trouble China Film and Television Network regarding the premiere. And Wanda”
……
It used to be said that acting and directing are good, just like Xu Zheng and Zhao Yanzi. After all, they are also actors in their profession, so they have the foundation.
But now it’s extraordinary, even novel writers are clamoring to enter the film industry and become directors!
"I will spend one year adapting my novel into a movie script and learning directing skills, so that I can start filming this time next year..."
Fans are waving flags and shouting , but everyone in the film and television industry is watching the joke, and many people are even very offensive in their jokes.
“It’s not your fault that you are short, but it’s a bit too much to know that the sky is high and the earth is high…”
For a time, there was another scolding war on the Internet.
……
Liu Yifei listened to Lin Nan’s suggestion and has been writing biographies seriously for the past two days.
Seeing Lin Nan's figure, she just glanced at it and ignored it.
The serious look is quite heartless!
"How's it going?"
"Well, the effect is good, it made me understand the character more deeply."
Liu Yifei nodded and handed the booklet in her hand to Lin Nan, Densely, writes a lot.
"Yes, this is a 'careful' character. Due to family reasons, he is particularly sensitive to the concept of money, which is exactly the opposite of Luo Jin's character..."
"Changchang has just arrived. ”
Liu Yifei suddenly said something, but Lin Nan didn't understand what she meant.
"She brought that little girl with her."
Lin Nan understood now. He looked at Liu Yifei and asked with some worry: "You didn't promise anything, right?"< br>
"How could it be? Changchang didn't say anything, she just sat there for a while."
"Well, that's good. We've known her for so many years, so I can take care of her at most."
In Lin Nan's eyes, every friend around him has obvious weaknesses.
Shu Chang has lacked love since he was a child. He has soft ears and is easily led astray. He listens to whatever his "relatives" say.
Zhu Yawen is a bit narcissistic and quite a bitch...
Luo Jin has a strong self-esteem and sometimes cares about face.
……
As for Liu Yifei, Lin Nan glanced at her and shook her head unconsciously.
Fairy, it’s just appearance!
Inside, he is very reckless, very naive, very naive, very sweet, and occasionally very shrewd!
"What are you looking at? Why are you shaking your head?"
Liu Yifei had a "cold light" in her eyes and her tone was fierce.
"Ah? It's nothing. I think you're ridiculously beautiful."
Practice makes perfect, Lin Nan said, muttering in his heart: "This is just an accident."
"Hmph, you continue to lie, let's see what I believe If you don’t believe me, I was only 16 years old at the time..."
Liu Yifei turned her head and continued writing her biography, scolding Lin Nan.
Lin Nan was sitting on the sofa, looking at Liu Yifei with a smile on her lips, feeling very peaceful. At this moment, there is quite a joy of life, and the years are quiet...
