Chapter 401 The 850 million is spent, the wolf is coming
The next morning, Liu Yifei did not let Lin Nan send her to Nortel.
Her style also changed to a bare face with light makeup and an ordinary casual sweater.
Liu Yifei, who took off all her jewelry and tied her hair in a high ponytail, looked even more pure and refined.
At first glance, it seemed like she was going to take the art exam instead of being a guest for the re-examination.
"Well, it was indeed too conspicuous yesterday. I want to keep a low profile today."
Hearing Miss Liu's words without self-awareness, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh and complained:
"Unless I give it to you Change your face, otherwise, you won't be able to keep a low profile."
Liu Yifei looked proud of herself, rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, and chuckled.
“You are so sweet, I have to go.”
As soon as she put on her sunglasses, Liu Yifei got into the Ferrari.
“You can drive slower!”
“I know.”
Looking at the red car speeding away, Lin Nan shook his head and drove the car Going to school by car is not low-key at all!
…………
As a film director, Lin Nan heard a lot of news today about Kodak's official filing for bankruptcy protection.
This is the world's largest film manufacturer and affects the entire film industry.
Fortunately, Lin Nan started to mix digital cameras and film shooting a long time ago when making movies.
Unlike Feng Xiaogang and others, they will have to face the adaptation process from pure film movies to digital cameras.
I heard that the crew of "1942" is hoarding film. Some other powerful directors are also doing this! They prefer the texture of film and are used to shooting films on film. This time, I was forced to learn and adapt to digital cameras.
In addition, Kodak publicly sold its Oscar naming rights with eight years remaining.
In the domestic film and television industry, many big companies are ready to make moves, such as Huayi, Bona, Chengtian, Yinghuang...
But the one shouting the loudest is Yang Zai Guy, he immediately shouted on Weibo:
"Oscar naming rights, this is a good project! Juli Pictures decided to bid for it and buy it!
We will Take the lead to enter Hollywood, contribute to the domestic film industry..."
The slogan was shouted loudly, but what it was greeted with was overwhelming boos and ridicule from the Internet and within the circle.
“I vowed before that I would invest in 10 movies with a cost of hundreds of millions, but why did it end in vain?”
“I heard that Juli Pictures is already an empty shell and everyone has been dismissed. It’s clean, is it true?”
“Huang Shengyi has been married to You Yin for several years, but he still pretends to be single and flirts with men...”
…
The aftermath of "White Snake" is clearly not over yet.
Yang Zai said one thing, and instantly he was criticized ten times by netizens and insiders. In the end, he had to delete his Weibo in despair and pretend that nothing happened, leaving nothing but jokes.
……
Tudou went through five rounds of financing and received a total of US$135 million.
Then you burn money, buy copyrights, keep losing money, and keep increasing your market share.
Everything was developing in a positive direction until Wang Wei's incident happened...
Youku came from behind and was the first to go public in the United States, and the situation reversed instantly.
Lin Nan met Wang Wei at the company. In addition, there were many people from lawyers and accounting firms.
Equity agreements, signed, fingerprinted, stamped, filed... No link is missed.
After these procedures were completed, the irrelevant personnel were sent out. For these people, red envelopes in addition to remuneration are indispensable.
Lin Nan and Wang Wei were the only ones left in the office.
"Director Lin, you understand. Although the amount of financing is 135 million US dollars, the market value is higher than this."
Lin Nan nodded. Of course he understood this truth. After all, potatoes are also So much territory has been opened up.
Even if things happen one after another, the market value will not drop to that point.
“The 850 million has been spent.”
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
He spent 850 million in one month. He had never done this before.
He only spent 60 million dollars on the villa in Beverly Hills.
Of course, Lin Nan took advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, and now the value has appreciated a lot.
“It doesn’t matter if you spend all the money, as long as you gain something. But what’s going on?”
Lin Nan asked aloud.
There are a few guys who shouted to quit before, but now they are pushing back!
Wang Wei is also a bit embarrassed, "There are always smart people who want to give it a try, especially when they know that new capital will come in to take over."
"But fortunately, these companies I I will put it at the end and fight a protracted battle.
The most important thing now is that I need money to continue to repurchase shares, and many shareholders are waiting. In addition, my share..."
Lin Nan knew what Wang Wei was talking about.
"We will not break our promise. When enough shares are recovered from those people, we will re-inject capital.
At that time, your 10% will become more, and Tudou still needs You, the founder, continue to be at the helm."
Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Nan:
"When will the new funds arrive?"
"Soon, just in the next few days."
......
Half an hour later, Wang Wei left Lin Nan Pictures.
According to the original plan, Lin Nan entered the market first to ensure that he got enough shares, and then the three companies acted together.
He took out his cell phone and called Ye Ning.
"Director Lin? The box office of "Pacific Rim" is great. It has reached 1.3 billion. By the end of this week, it should reach 1.32 billion."
Ye Ning's voice was full of excitement. "Pacific Rim" is his The biggest performance in the past two years.
“I’m not calling to talk about this matter.”
“That is?”
“Mr. Ye, please inform your group. You can enter the venue. , Tudou needs funds.”
"Okay, no problem, I'll report it immediately. If nothing happens, the funds will be available at any time the day after tomorrow at the latest." Lin Nan was shocked by this efficiency. It is indeed Wanda!
The same phone call was made to Wang Changtian, but this person seemed a little hasty.
It seems that something happened to the crew of "Sad Fairy Tale". Liu Shishi, the lead actor, suffered from pancreatitis and was admitted to the hospital.
For a person like Lao Wang who is very economical, it is quite heartbreaking that the crew was delayed for a week.
"No problem, I'll prepare the funds now, don't worry!"
......
This time, Lin Nan ignored what the people at the bank said, and he planned to directly use the account existing funds. After all, he couldn't wait a week in terms of time.
……
In the evening, Liu Yifei came back.
"They worked really hard. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they started plastic surgery when they were less than twenty years old."
"Art candidates?"
"Yes, Dean Wang Jinsong said on the spot It was wiped out in front of the candidates, and there was no need to wait until the results of the re-examination were announced."
Lin Nan was not surprised to hear that Wang Jinsong took part in the art exam every time. They are all very strict.
“As a result, in the afternoon, a large number of reporters surrounded the art exam site, saying that the school discriminated against plastic surgery candidates.”
"Then I would like to hear the response from the hospital?"
"It was Teacher Wang who came forward and said that natural beauty is the most insurmountable. He does not accept candidates who have plastic surgery!"
As he spoke, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t notice it yesterday, but today I saw a lot of ‘little’ people.”
Lin Nan was confused by Liu Yifei, what did she say?
"Little Fan Bingbing, little Gong Li, little Zhou Dongyu... I also met several 'me's face to face, little Liu Yifei!"
Miss Liu hugged her belly and nestled on the sofa. He laughed. There is no lady image at all.
Lin Nan also smiles heartily, but that’s it!
Every year during the art exam, there are always a few "little Fan Bingbing", "little Liu Yifei", "little Zhang Ziyi" in the media reports...
This phenomenon will only become more common the further we go.
……
The film bureau’s sudden meeting invitation caught many people in the industry off guard.
Looks like he is in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn’t have arrived at short notice in the evening.
Early the next morning, Lin Nan set off for the General Administration. The nine o'clock meeting was really early!
After arriving, he realized that it was indeed a big deal.
Because all the people present were film companies, directors and producers, and some of them came back from other places.
Several state-owned enterprise bosses all feel as if they haven’t had a good night’s sleep and are a little out of sorts.
“What’s going on?”
Ning Hao bumped into Lin Nan and asked with a yawn.
Feng Xiaogang next to him also yawned again and again, having rushed back all night last night.
Lu Chuan in the distance had a good chat with some old guys in the system.
......
As soon as the time came, Tong Gang on the podium spoke.
“I called you here temporarily today because I have something important to say.”
The people below, except for a few state-owned enterprise bosses who seemed to know something, everyone else immediately sat upright and listened with their ears pricked up.
"Yesterday morning, we and the other side of the ocean reached an agreement on a memorandum of understanding on WTO film-related issues..."
As soon as these words came out, 99% of the people at the scene were not calm. .
Is it finally here? !
Tong Gang sighed:
"Starting from this year, Hollywood's imported split movies have increased from 20 to 34, and all of them are IMAX and 3D movies. The split ratio has been adjusted from 13% to 25%."
The words have not yet finished. , there was noisy discussion below, and it was noisy. It's like a classroom in a big school classroom that can't be quiet.
"Quiet, this matter will be announced in the form of a formal document in two days. Everyone, please be prepared. This time, the wolf is really coming!"
The noises came again. It rang.
“Tong Bureau, can’t it be changed?”
I don't know who asked the stupid question. Not to mention Tong Gang, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun and others in the first row all turned around and looked at that person like a fool. He was an old guy in the system.
"By the way, to be precise, starting from March, you will compete head-on with these Hollywood blockbusters. There are 34 movies in total, basically all of them are commercial films!"
Lin Nan I felt eyes scanning over me.
"Director Ning Hao, Director Lin Nan, Director Chen Kaige, Director Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan...
You should all have movies released this year, so just be the vanguard!"
Hearing this, the people named were dumbfounded.
Lin Nan understands what this means, which means that once their movies are finalized, at least one imported film will be arranged to compete with them! Both are normal.
"Why don't you find some time alone and put in four, five, six...seven imported split-movies?"
Lin Nan made a suggestion jokingly, which instantly attracted a chorus of approval. .
Especially Feng Xiaogang, slapping his thighs and shouting good ideas...
But Tong Gang above had a dark face.
"What do you think this is? Are you playing house? You even found a special time to let the imported film be consumed..."
Tong Gang was angry above, but there was dead silence below.
"Don't think about it. Those methods in the past can no longer be used. Prepare to fight with real swords and guns! Whether you live or die depends on the quality of your movie..."
Tong Gang's words , very decisive. This time, a group of people really felt restless.
The wolf is really here!
