Chapter 491 Departure
On behalf of the company, Yue Jun went to the launch conference of "Private Customization".
Lin Nan was invited to visit the crew of "The Heart of the Sun" for a visit.
Both movies are shot at the same time, but their performances are not even the slightest bit different from each other.
Huayi's side is equivalent to a media meeting, with many guests and media, and the specifications are grand.
As for "Scorching Sun", it's like a grassroots team with not many reporters. After the opening ceremony in the morning, filming will officially begin in the afternoon.
"Lin Nan, welcome to visit the class. We are all acquaintances, don't you need me to introduce you?"
Cao Baoping came up to us with a smile on his face and pointed at a group of actors.
"Teacher Cao, no need, we all know each other."
"Director Lin."
"Hello, Director Lin."
"Hello, Director Lin Nan."
......
Deng Chao, Duan Yihong, Guo Tao, and Wang Luodan, four familiar actors, one after another Say hello to Lin Nan.
Hong Kong actor Lui Songxian, the character that impressed Lin Nan the most was Linghu Chong!
Among this group of people, the one who has been in contact with Lin Nan for the longest time and is the most familiar with him is Wang Luodan, which is a pity.
"Why do you think you are just playing around and have lost all the four little girls?"
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Wang Luodan also frowned:
"I'm also confused. I have all the movies of great directors, including Mr. Xue's "Thirty-day Love", Director Chen's "Search", and now Mr. Cao's "Heart of the Burning Sun". Maybe it's because I don't have them. Are you good at hype?"
Wang Luodan asked uncertainly, her company is indeed not very good at hype.
"In the future, you should be smarter. Don't look at him as a classmate and just speak for him without any brains..."
Lin Nan struck a blow, believing that Wang Luodan understood what he was referring to.
"I regret it too. Who knew she would turn into this kind of person after graduation? Forget it.
I signed a two-month drama contract with Teacher Cao , and there will be a TV series after that. I hope my career will go well this year.”
When Wang Luodan said the second half, he was a little bit showy.
"What TV series?"
"It's a collaboration between the company and Hong Kong Island. "Wei Zifu", I play Wei Zifu."
Lin Nan nodded, "Then I wish you the best. Good luck to you, I hope it can be as good as "Struggle" and "Secret Fragrance""
…………
The half-day visit went by in a hurry, and Lin Nan didn’t stay long.
Even so, media reports have come out.
"Director Lin Nan visited director Cao Baoping's new film "Heart of the Burning Sun". The film officially started shooting today."
"Professor Cao Baoping's new film "Heart of the Burning Sun" was invested by the owner of Bona Pictures , Lin Nan Pictures was not involved..."
When Lin Nan returned to the company, the headlines in the industry had changed.
The verdict was announced in the lawsuit between Tang Dynasty and Lin Gengxin.
During the previous first trial, Lin Gengxin's demands were:
Require Tangren to pay him 1.5 million in salary owed to him for several years; and confirmed that the contract was terminated in mid-December last year.
Tang Dynasty countersued in court, demanding that Lin Gengxin continue to perform the artist contract and compensate for breach of contract fees of 2 million yuan for taking on roles without permission.
You must know that once the ruling is made to continue to perform the artist contract, what awaits Lin Gengxin will be 8 years of snow, unless he continues to appeal.
Fortunately, because Tang Ren failed to fulfill what he promised when he signed Lin Gengxin, Tang Ren lost the lawsuit cleanly.
But he didn't expect that Cai Yinong immediately filed an appeal in Shanghai after it was over. This time it was the second trial.
The verdict is a bit like a fifty-fifty vote, but overall it still favors Lin Genxin.
That is: compensation of 1.95 million to Tangren, and the contract was officially terminated in October this year.
Lin Gengxin accepted this result in court and decisively chose to buy her own freedom with 1.95 million, which meant that she could not receive notices for 8 months.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tang people are not satisfied with this result at all, but they can only accept it.
Because there is only one chance to appeal, and it has been used, and this is the result!
When the news came out, Tang people immediately became a joke in the media and on the Internet. This was a lawsuit fought in the Magic City, the stronghold of the Tang Dynasty, and the outcome was both times in favor of Lin Gengxin.
This means that what Lin Gengxin said before was all true. The Tang people coaxed and deceived artists into signing contracts. If they failed to break up peacefully, they would directly use public opinion to suppress and smear them!
For a time, Tangren's reputation among students in major art schools plummeted.
“Mr. Cai, do you still want to go to several art schools?”
"Go, why not go. Do you think this matter will affect the newcomers? You are wrong!
The newcomers are not qualified to think so far. Being able to get ahead is their first priority."
< br>Cai Yinong said firmly.
In this circle, there is never a shortage of potential newcomers, and there are always countless times more competitors than opportunities.
And Tangren can give opportunities, even small role opportunities, which will make countless newcomers rush for it.
"Catch the tail of the art exam and let them screen it carefully. If you are promising, report back."
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Cai."
…………
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" topped 1.2 billion, becoming the third Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 1.2 billion.
At this time, it is only 60 million away from the 1.267 billion of "囧囧", and there are only 5 days left!
"The daily box office has dropped by 10 million to only 8 to 9 million. There is no chance."
Almost all people in the industry have this feeling. The gap brought by a delayed secret key is not that big. Easy to chase.
But everyone in the industry also understands that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is more popular than "囧", and is slightly worse than "Genius Gunslinger".
At the same time, 19 days after its release, the total box office of "Love in Seattle" finally exceeded 500 million, with a revenue of 502 million. At this time, the daily box office was still around 14 million.
Xue Xiaolu once again took a step forward and became a director in the 500 million box office club.
Yang Mi has also become the second female lead in a movie with a box office of more than 500 million yuan among the new generation of Four Xiaohuadans, and is truly the first of the Four Xiaohuadans.
But her role in "Love in Seattle" is much more than that of Ni Na in "The Thirteen Beauties"!
What Lin Nan didn’t expect was that Guo Jingming would come over to take advantage of the popularity!
This guy specially posted a congratulatory post on Weibo, and liked Yang Mi:
"Congratulations to Yang Mi and her starring love movie "Love in Seattle", which has a box office of over 500 million and continues to make great progress. .
I also hope that "Tiny Times" starring him will have the same success. Congratulations to Director Xue, and congratulations to the crew of "Love in Seattle"..." Although it was just to gain popularity, but the congratulations were so polite and thoughtful, Lin Nan really couldn't say anything, which was quite depressing.
Many people in the industry followed suit. Congratulations to Xue Xiaolu and the rest of the crew. Yang Mi was the first to take the lead and was the most conspicuous.
The other three little actresses instantly seemed eclipsed in comparison.
“I think I can act in her movie! ”
Yang Ying looked at Huang Xiaoming and said pointedly.
How could the leader not know what she meant? As his girlfriend, sometimes her "ambitions" are not small.
But it’s okay for him to go to Lin Nan Pictures’ movies by himself. After all, he has acted in several movies, and he has a good relationship with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
But Yang Ying, he was really not sure that Lin Nan would give this favor.
“Why don’t you speak?”
Yang Ying sat astride Huang Xiaoming's lap and asked softly.
"What can I say? Director Lin's movies are not just about blocking people if they want. Oh, don't move..."
"Then, what about me? How can I have a chance? "
As she spoke, Yang Ying twisted a few more times, teasingly.
“Don’t even think about director Lin’s movies. Not to mention Yifei, Shanhai Media has three other actresses, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Reba, unless.”
"Unless what?"
"Unless it's a supporting role, there may still be a chance."
That's what Huang Xiaoming thinks, and it can't be a supporting role in Lin Nan's movie, it has to be a few other directors movie.
But Yang Ying’s next words left Huang Xiaoming speechless.
“If it’s a supporting role, I can play a supporting role for Liu Yifei.”
"Then don't think about it. Most of the movies Yifei stars in are directed by Director Lin.
With that kind of supporting role, Shu Chang is definitely the first choice. She and Yifei are best friends, and Director Lin "Call me brother."
Huang Xiaoming said angrily, patting Yang Ying's butt to tell her not to cause trouble, but she twisted even more fiercely.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you keep an eye on it from now on."
"Okay, this is what you promised."
"I promised, let's solve your problem first."
As he spoke, Leader Huang stood up with his arms on each other's hips and walked towards the room...
... ...
Yue Jun answered the phone, his face not very good.
“It’s up to you.”
"Thank you, Director Yue."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Jun sighed and walked towards the Tiangong color floor.
Lin Nan was still watching the carefully edited movie clips over and over again. As for the soundtrack, it was all being worked on by Crystal Pictures, and the final production would be carried out at that time.
"Director Lin, Zeng Jia and Yang Mi want to make an announcement."
Yue Jun's voice suddenly came from the side, startling Lin Nan who was concentrating.
"Announced?" Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Okay, I picked the time well, very good!"
Lin Nan commented with a smile.
There are four young actresses, a heroine in a movie with a box office of 500 million, and "Love in Seattle" is still three weeks away from being released, so all the heat is concentrated on it.
"Let them alone and make an announcement in the name of Shanhai Media." Lin Nan ordered.
"Well, I understand."
After speaking, Yue Jun left Tiangong Color.
…………
A Weibo announcement made the entire film and television industry look sideways, it was like a fantasy.
“It has been three years since I signed with Shanhai Media. I would like to thank Director Lin Nan, Director Yue Jun, Director Jiang Jierou, Director Lu Yang, Director Guo Fan, and everyone in the company for taking good care of me during these three years.< br>
I am very happy to have met Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin. They have been very helpful to me.
Now my contract is about to expire. Although I am sad, I have to make a choice.
I wish Lin Nan Pictures, Tiangong Color, and Shanhai Media will continue to grow in the days to come.
I will leave Shanhai Media, but I am always grateful to the company and Director Lin Nan. If necessary in the future, I will be on call..."
...
Just one minute later, Shanhai Media’s official Weibo also posted an announcement.
“Three years go by in a blink of an eye. Everyone has their own choice, whether to stay or to work hard.
The contract between artist Yang Mi and Shanhai Media will be completed this year. It officially expires on the 20th. The two parties are acting on a voluntary basis, and the company respects Yang Mi’s choice and will not renew the contract after it expires.
We also wish Yang Mi a better career in the future and become a leader in the industry. Top artists and entrepreneurs. The company will no longer respond to this matter.”
…………
Two Weibo posts made the entire film and television industry confused.
Almost everyone in the industry couldn't believe what they saw.
"What is this? Is it fake?"
"This kind of cold joke is not funny!"
"Today seems, seems, should be, not April Fools' Day... …”
