Chapter 412 The contract has expired for two years
A group of Hong Kong filmmakers talked about the future of Chinese-language films and commented on mainland films and the market.
This is the most eye-catching topic at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which is being held recently.
In the final analysis, these people are carrying private goods, and their purpose is not pure!
For example, Chen Kexin said it very nakedly:
"In the face of the new Sino-US film agreement, only by investing in more co-productions from the mainland and Hong Kong Island can we compete with imported Hollywood blockbusters. The mainland film industry needs to increase investment...
But there has always been a lack of film production in the mainland. Qualified and professional film producers, and Hong Kong Island never lacks these high-end talents, and the two sides complement each other..."
Wenjun is even more ruthless: "Hong Kong Island is a creative base, and we don't need to distinguish between Hong Kong films and Hong Kong films. Co-productions are all Chinese-language films.
Hong Kong Island filmmakers are responsible for the creativity, team and operation management, and the mainland is the production base and main target market.
This is the cooperation model. The new trend of co-productions can allow Chinese films to go global and compete head-on with Hollywood.”
...
The mainland film industry was stunned for a moment. Good guy, are you so direct now? Understand that mainland film companies are being taken advantage of!
What does it mean for Hong Kong filmmakers to be creative, responsible for the team and operational management, while the mainland serves as the production base and market?
Doesn’t this mean that mainland companies should only provide money and take care of the market, while Hong Kong filmmakers should handle other matters, leaving investors alone?
When Lin Nan saw the news, he couldn’t hold it back and said:
"You should save your face! Do you think that the mainland film industry is full of stupid people and rich people who take advantage of them?"
If other ordinary directors and filmmakers said this, the impact would not be too great. , but who said it was Lin Nan.
The media went crazy and were extremely excited.
The two sides have already fought once before in the "Zhao Zhen dispute". Director Lin is going to fight this time?
However, in the eyes of many mainland filmmakers, Lin Nan is right. These guys in Hong Kong are indeed too arrogant.
What kind of wisdom are you talking about? They just asked mainland film companies to give them money, but they didn't produce any good films!
“In recent years, there have been many co-productions between the Mainland and Hong Kong Island. In many cases, the whereabouts of funds from Mainland investors are unknown, the films are perfunctory, and the reputation is extremely poor. This is worth pondering!”
“ Today, the professionalism of the mainland film industry is no worse than that of Hong Kong Island, and we do not have to invest in them. We also have a large number of professional filmmakers who lack opportunities..."
...
Speak out. There are many media outlets, and the mainland side is very objective. They also cited many examples of movies, and Chen Kexin is the "key care target".
As for the Hong Kong media, Lin Nan became the sinner who destroyed "unity" and affected the development of Hong Kong movies, and was accused and criticized in various ways.
A large number of mainland filmmakers, directors, and actors gathered under Lin Nan’s Weibo. Likes and comments were all in support...
“Don’t think about it before you post on Weibo. What are the consequences? You thought you were an ordinary person, so you filed a lawsuit with the film bureau..."
Han Sanping kept talking with the voice on on his phone.
Liu Yifei put one foot on Lin Nan's leg and lay on the sofa. She was laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking.
"Director Han, I'm not wrong. Those guys really treat mainland investors as fools."
Lin Nan even wondered if Han Sanping had taken on the role of being taken advantage of, so he was so angry?
If you think about it, it's really possible. After all, Han Sanping was cheated by Hong Kong Island more than once or twice, especially by Chen Kexin.
"It doesn't work to tell the truth. Delete it quickly. This is what the bureau means. Otherwise, let the Tong Bureau call you personally?"
"Is this necessary?" Lin Nan was not Very willing.
"If you were a small director, no one would care about you, but you are not."
Hearing this, Lin Nan was a little helpless. His high status can sometimes be a shackle.
"Okay, I'll delete it, for the sake of 'unity'. But Director Han, taking this opportunity, I have to say one more thing.
I really don't like the movie "Taiping Wheel" invested by China Film. Look, you are mentally prepared, so hang up."
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
Han Sanping only uttered four words before hearing the busy signal.
"Director Han is definitely scolding you right now. He actually cursed him for losing money on his film investment, hahaha..."
Liu Yifei pressed her whole legs on Lin Nan's thigh, smiling. teased.
"Just scold him, he has been preaching for so long. Come on, let me delete one and post another."
After a while, Lin Nan's Weibo came out.
"Delete the above article. In addition, I did not do this voluntarily, I was sued!"
...
"Haha, Director Lin has been educated?!"
“Let’s take a blind guess. It’s either the big brother of China Film Group Corporation, or the bureau...”
……
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan's new Weibo and couldn't help but laugh:
"Just delete the first one.
However, this guy really doesn't like "Taiping" Wheel"? It doesn't make sense!"
......
Lin Nan Pictures invested 50 million, Yinghuang 30 million, all invested in "One Man's Martial Arts" in the account opened.
Lu Yang and Yue Jun rushed back from Hong Kong Island. The former will take one month to complete the production of sub-shots and shooting plans.
“Many people are asking me whether the movie "Car on the Road", which will be released soon, has anything to do with us."
After Yue Jun said this, he couldn't bear it Laughing all the time.
"Well, at first glance, it does sound a bit like a joke. Who played it?"
"Guo Degang, Yu Qian."
Hearing this, Lin Nan was even more speechless:
"Is this person really determined to cross the industry? If the media asks, just say it has nothing to do with us. If the media doesn't ask, we shouldn't respond proactively."
“Understood, avoid taking the initiative to promote others.” Speaking of Guo Degang, Lin Nan remembered the incident a month ago.
The people from Deyun Society beat up the journalists who were filming at Fengxing Studio at the airport, and three more were detained and fined plus half a month of detention.
For a time, everyone in the circle was lamenting the power of Deyun Society. They didn’t even need bodyguards, they could do it themselves!
But if you have sex with Feng Xing, Zhuo Wei will have to keep an eye on you for how many years?
…………
Every remake of Jin Yong’s drama always attracts the attention of the film and television industry and the audience.
Even Lin Nan has noticed the news that Yu Zheng Studio will start filming "The Swordsman" in a week.
But what caught Lin Nan's attention the most was this person's Weibo post:
""The Swordsman" is only the first one, and there will be remakes of other Jin Yong dramas in the future..."
… …
After two months of filming, "Love in Seattle" has been completed.
Xue Xiaolu, Yang Mi, Yu Hewei and others returned to the capital and were surrounded by the media at the airport.
When asked when it would be released, Xue Xiaolu said that after finishing the post-production as soon as possible, she would need to discuss it with Lin Nan. Lin Nan was more experienced in setting the film schedule.
And Yang Mi looked like a victorious general, looking very confident.
"Our movie will definitely be a big hit at the box office. Well, more than "33 Days of Love", it will definitely exceed 500 million..."
...
"The love movie "Love in Seattle" produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xue Xiaolu, starring Yang Mi and Yu Hewei, has been completed. Today the crew members returned to the capital..."
"Yang Mi boldly said that "Love in Seattle" will have a box office of over 500 million..."
...
Lin Nan met the crew members at the company, including Yu Hewei.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xue. Can you take it back to the school to edit this time?"
"Yes, it's convenient over there. I can take the time to stare at it after class, and I can still find it. If some students come to help, we should give them the opportunity to practice teaching.”
Before Lin Nan could speak, Xue Xiaolu added: "But don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
"Okay, Teacher Xue can make the decision. Complete the post-production as soon as possible so that I can plan and arrange the schedule."
The filming crew’s closing banquet was held overseas.
However, Lin Nan still paid for it and treated everyone to a big meal, which was regarded as catching the wind.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed.
Yang Mi left the company with Zeng Jia and will take a break for half a month. There will be many announcements, endorsements and activities after that.
"Director Lin, there is something I need to remind you."
Lin Nan looked back at Yue Jun with a serious face, "What is it?"
"Yang Mi's contract will be two years old this month"
"It's been two years?" Lin Nan murmured in a daze.
"Her business ability is outstanding. I checked and found that she has made a lot of money for the company in the past two years, and the income is very high..." Yue Jun continued.
In the past two years, Yang Mi has been developing upwards and firmly standing in the ranks of first-line actresses.
As an agent, Zeng Jia will get part of his salary from the company, but most of it will be from Yang Mi's share. If he gets a share, he probably made a lot of money.
“What do you want to say?”
“According to industry regulations, you need to talk to her about this matter at least three months before the contract expires.
Here in Yang Mi, I think it can be advanced to half a year, or even earlier. After all, time flies by very quickly. "
"You are responsible for Shanhai Media's affairs. " Lin Nan said casually, without a trace of emotion.
"Then I will talk to her about this matter in half a year.
Director Lin, if something goes wrong, do you want me? "
Yue Jun asked with a cold look in his eyes.
"When did you become like this?" Lin Nan chuckled and shook his head.
“Shanhai Media, this name is very correct. We don’t do those dirty and morally damaging things.”
Hearing what Lin Nan meant, Yue Jun’s expression changed. So cold.
“Hey, I was affected by the bad things in other companies. My thoughts went astray and I have to reflect.
However, we are not short of a first-line actress, artist management business It was just incidental.”
Yue Jun smiled and laughed at himself, then said:
"When the time comes, I will discuss this matter with her. If Yang Mi renews her contract, the distribution ratio can be adjusted in the next contract... ”
Lin Nan nodded and said nothing. He was also thinking about Yang Mi.
As Yue Jun said, the main business of Lin Nan Pictures is production, and Shanhai Media is just incidental.
But judging from what Yue Jun meant, he wanted to keep Yang Mi and renew her contract. After all, the latter’s business capabilities are really strong!
I just don't know if he can keep it.
Lin Nan will wait and see.
