Chapter 492 Yesterday, there was a fight, today there is a lawsuit
Most of the actors, stars and people in the film and television industry were stunned by the news on the Internet.
It’s unbelievable that some artists would choose to leave Shanhai Media?
Backed by big trees, with abundant resources and a smooth future, isn’t this enough?
The news that Yang Mi’s contract with Shanhai Media has expired and will not be renewed quickly spread throughout the film and television industry, entertainment industry, media and the Internet.
Almost instantly it became a hot topic of discussion for everyone and the focus of attention in the circle.
In the eyes of many colleagues, it is Lin Nan's big heart that makes her let go of an A-list actress so easily.
But it also shows that Lin Nan really doesn't care about the so-called first-line stars, because the company's profits never rely on artist managers.
Shanhai Media may not care about a front-line actress with high commercial value, but other companies are different.
The first of the Four Little Actresses, the heroine of a movie with a box office of 500 million, a huge commercial value, several well-known movies, and a resume of hit TV series, this is Yang Mi's current confidence.
In the eyes of other companies, Yang Mi is just a piece of cake. Whoever can sign in will make a lot of money, picking up on Lin Nan's mistakes!
In just half a day, a large number of brokerage companies or film and television companies in the industry began to contact Yang Mi and Zeng Jia one after another, offering them an olive branch.
“Is she crazy? There are so many artists out there who dream of signing a contract with Shanhai Media.”
“After leaving Shanhai Media, I am afraid that I will become a target? Among the four little beauties, First of all, isn't it a very good stepping stone? There are many actresses in the industry who want to step on her, especially those with companies behind them. What methods can be used..."
"This, she will do in the future. , can there still be so many high-quality film resources? ”
"Support Sister Mi's choice, all the feasts in the world will end, and the next stop will be better!"
Fans have a lot to think about, including those who are optimistic about it or not, and those who oppose and support it.
The actors and artists in the circle are also talking a lot. There are many people who are confused, watching the fun, and even gloating and thinking about replacing it.
"Good thing, this is the best news I have heard in months."
Cai Yinong said with a sneer. There are definitely not a few people in the industry who have the same thoughts as her.
In the past, when trying to win over rivals for my own artists, especially when choosing Yang Mi, I had to be wary and hesitant.
From now on... you won’t need it.
......
Yue Jun said it all on Weibo and stopped replying, but reporters from the media still came to the company to block the door, and Yue Jun could only deal with it.
Lin Nan’s phone calls were never disconnected. They all thought that the company and Yang Mi had broken up, and asked if they could help seal the seal...
"What kind of seal? It's just that the normal contract will not be renewed when it expires. They are big-hearted and want to be their own bosses..."
Lin Nan has already convinced people like Wang Changtian and Ye Ning. Her good intentions are He had good intentions, but he asked him if he wanted to be banned as soon as he came up, as if Lin Nan was a bully.
"Be your own boss? Well, you have a good career plan and you are ambitious. You also know that you can't be promoted as an actor. That's fine. Since it's okay, I'll give up."
"Well, Mr. Wang, see you later."
Lin Nan smiled silently, threw down the phone, and dismissed these people.
Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and Yue Jun also notified them early. From now on, Yang Mi has nothing to do with the company.
But Lin Nan Pictures will not, like some companies in the industry, require them to have no contact with the artists who have left the company. Friendships and work can be separated.
…………
“Mimi, I have to announce it to the outside world, otherwise a large number of invitations will continue to be sent to me, wanting to sign you.”
“ Well, let’s go, this is our new beginning.”
Yang Mi said confidently.
The number one among the four young actresses, coupled with the box office success of "Love in Seattle", her net worth has skyrocketed a lot in the past two months.
Beyond the top actress, she only lacks three things: stable high box office, top awards, and becoming capital.
"I will realize these one by one." Yang Mi murmured.
In the afternoon, Zeng Jia posted a Weibo message on behalf of Yang Mi and herself.
"Thank you to many film and television and brokerage companies in the industry for their optimism and love for Yang Mi. Here we give a unified reply:
In the future, Yang Mi's work will be carried out under the name of 'Jiaxing Studio', and all business aspects will be carried out. For all inquiries, please contact the studio. The following is the detailed address and phone number of the studio..."
As soon as it was posted on Weibo, many people in the industry immediately went to check this studio.
Suddenly, the entire film and television industry suddenly realized.
Zeng Jia is the legal representative and Yang Mi is one of the three shareholders!
Before, only a small number of people speculated that a studio might be opened, but now it has been proven that these few people were right.
Emotional Yang Mi left Shanhai Media just to go it alone and want to be her own boss!
However, there are many favorable and unfavorable voices in the industry and on the Internet.
“Everyone wants to imitate Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhou Xun, but those few have either accumulated works for many years, or own Huayi stock, and have extensive connections and good timing, so they succeeded. I have been promoted to capital, and now I have many identities.
But most actors’ studios are struggling and small workshops. It is better to stay in the original company.”
"Why should Yang Mi be the boss? This studio is so poor. If she came out to work alone for the unfettered freedom, then pretend I didn't say it."
"Now the salary is soaring. With her commercial value, as long as more By taking on some projects and signing more people, we can make the studio bigger and stronger sooner or later. Then we can upgrade it to a company and continue to raise funds..."
…………
Yang The news that Mi is partnering with her agent to open a studio has once again made headlines.
At this time, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", which has been released for one month, has also been officially released.
Media reports began to flood the screen.
"Directed by Zhou Xingchi, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" has been successfully completed, with a total box office revenue of 1.245 billion. Unfortunately, it lost to "囧" and ranked third on the Chinese film box office list."
"The box office share of movie investors in the mainland market can reach about 500 million. Huayi will be the biggest beneficiary, enjoying 70%."
The invitation for Huayi to hold a celebration banquet for the film has been Sent all over the film and television industry.
A "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the box office split alone allowed Huayi to make back all the losses from the previous movies, in addition to making a profit.
This result makes most of the production companies that participated in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival programs and suffered losses, extremely envious.
Although March is not over halfway, there is only one famous domestic film among them.
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by director Xue Xiaolu, the box office of "Love in Seattle" has reached 540 million, and the daily box office has dropped to about 6 million..."
"Imported movie "Tiger" Films such as "Dare 5", "The World" and "The Iron Lady" have all been released."
"Imported blockbusters such as "Resident Evil 5", "Oz and Oz" and "Giant Catcher" will be released. It will be officially released in mid to late 2020. ”
Everyone in the film industry can see that with the end of the Spring Festival, it’s time for domestic films to struggle again.
......
Originally Lin Nan was not planning to go to Hua Yi's celebration party in person, but the film bureau seemed to attach great importance to it, and many leaders would be present, probably because this movie is a co-production. Bar.
So Lin Nan went for a walk, while Liu Yifei was too lazy to move and was still sleeping.
At first glance, the scene is a lively one.
Third tier, second tier, first tier, small company, big company, different circles have clear boundaries.
Those who keep wandering around with a glass of wine are always the inferior and thoughtful people.
Several state-owned enterprises and large companies in the industry, including Guangguang's Wang Changtian, Bona's Yu Dong, Xingmei's Qin Hong, etc., are all present.
These people are not here for Hua Yi’s face, but for Zhou Xingchi.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" once again proved that Zhou Xingchi is a box office guarantee. No, Hua Yi is full at once!
"Director Lin."
"Director Lin."
...
Lin Nan nodded in response and walked to Wang Changtian. "You're late, Tong Ju has just left."
"Is the salary high enough?"
Lin Nan said in surprise. He originally thought that there would be at most a few ordinary leaders.
"After all, it is a co-production. This movie can be used as a banner to promote it."
Say this, Lin Nan understands. Zhou Xingchi is a Hong Kong filmmaker, but he is different from those die-hards.
“How is your prying at the corner?”
"As you said, we were just having normal social interactions." Wang Changtian shook his head repeatedly and denied it.
"I understand, it's impossible to succeed once or twice, haha..." Lin Nan smiled.
While Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting, the actors from the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" crew were also busy brushing their faces. This was a rare opportunity. There were many big companies and companies present. What about big producers and directors.
Lin Nan is not interested in a few actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but there are some actors from the mainland who are somewhat interesting.
In media reports, Li Lianjie’s godson Wen Zhang always looks arrogant, but now he is nodding and bowing, laughing along with him. I also know how to read people's dishes.
"Well, this should be the most beautiful actress in our crew. The first movie is Master Xing's movie."
Huang Bo joked next to Lin Nan and Wang Changtian, anyway Those women from Hong Kong and Taiwan are not around, so they are not afraid of offending anyone.
"Hello, Director Wang, hello Director Lin, I am Tang Yixin, Brother Bo is joking."
Lin Nan nodded, he didn't think what Huang Bo said was wrong, those people from Hong Kong and Taiwan This one is really not that good. He is either a big talker or selling his breasts.
Today should be Lin Nan’s first face-to-face communication with Zhou Xingchi.
When the other party said they were looking forward to cooperation, Lin Nan only took it as a polite comment. The chance of cooperation was too small.
However, Zhou Xingchi’s vicissitudes of life cannot be compared with Liu Dehua. He seems to be 10 years older than Liu Tianwang.
…………
The celebration party for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is over.
Currently, in the domestic film industry, there have been three films with a box office exceeding 1 billion.
Everyone is also full of expectations or full of confidence in the fourth 1 billion movie.
Lin Nan discovered that Liu Yifei seemed to have been returning to Hongxingwu frequently in the past two days.
I don’t know if there is another announcement or if a new brand owner has been hired.
That's it, two or three days later.
Yue Jun hurried to the Tiangong Colorful Floor, with an expression of... gloating on his face?
"What good happened to you?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
"Hahaha, it's so noisy. There's a lot of noise outside. Director Lin, please take a look."
Tiangong Color is a group of science and engineering men, and they don't care about gossip during working hours. Lin Nan was really confused.
He opened the entertainment information and his eyes widened the next second.
I saw an enlarged and bold title on the headlines of the film and television entertainment section.
"Yesterday, we had a fight, and today we are going to court - Zhou Xingchi sued Hua Yi, asking for 80 million box office share!"
This is really big news in the industry, because both Zhou Xingchi and Hua Yi have important positions in the film industry. status.
This time it was done openly and openly.
Zhou Xingchi made it very clear:
“A few days before New Year’s Eve, we had already negotiated an agreement with Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi.
Once the movie's box office exceeds 500 million, director Zhou Xingchi will receive an additional 80 million box office share. However, Huayi went against his promise and refused to acknowledge the agreement and pay the share. "
Wang Zhonglei also ended up directly, and he tore off his mask and made naked sarcasm:
"What Mr. Zhou Xingchi said was indeed discussed in the email, but the two parties did not A formal contract is signed, so it does not have legal effect. We believe that the court will make a fair decision. ”
“In addition, everyone knows that Mr. Zhou Xingchi loves money, but I would also like to remind him: A gentleman loves money in a proper way. Don’t go crazy thinking about money and talk indiscriminately. This will only bring humiliation to yourself. , making people laugh..."
Weibo, Tieba, and various social platforms are about to explode.
In just one morning, the entire industry, the media, and the Internet were all covered in this matter.
“The question now is whether the court recognizes those emails. It stands to reason that the emails have made it very clear that both parties agreed to accept the 80 million incentive agreement.
But the question is It just happened to be due to time. Because of New Year's Eve, the two parties did not sign a paper agreement, so there was no official seal or signature."
Yue Jun sighed with emotion, Hua Yi threw away Zhou Xingchi's trust. It's underfoot.
“Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Zhang Weiping are so similar, no, they are much more ruthless than Zhang Dapao.”
Lin Nan sneered and said mockingly:
"I am so decisive when I see profit and abandon my righteousness! To put it more accurately, it is short-sighted. For 80 million, I completely offended Zhou Xingchi. With Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal, isn't it worth it?" 80 million?
You also verbally criticize others for loving money. Who doesn’t love money? If they don’t love it, how can they hack the 80 million?”
Yue Jun? Nod, indeed.
“This lawsuit is simple and clear to say. It just depends on whether those emails count. The result is expected to be out in a few days.”
.........
Many production companies in the industry are very excited. A few days ago they were still thinking about how to take advantage of the situation.
No, Huayi himself will give everyone a chance!
“When doing business in the light industry, it is always a matter of spitting out foam and nailing it. If you say it out loud, it will be thrown out...”
“Bona has never treated its partners harshly so far. I look forward to cooperating with Mr. Xing.”
Yu Dong is also shameless. He seems to have forgotten to postpone the box office split for the new picture, and he has postponed it for a month or two.
"Singmei looks forward to cooperating with director Zhou Xingchi in the future..."
The Internet is overwhelmingly criticizing Huayi, but morality and law are sometimes contradictory.
…………
Liu Yifei finally waited until Lin Nan came back, with a sad look on her face, which was another kind of beauty.
"You're back, you're giving me a headache."
Lin Nan really felt like Lin Daiyu when he looked at her.
"I don't know how to treat illnesses. You have a headache. Did Auntie scold you again?"
Lin Nan joked. After Liu Xiaoli criticized Liu Yifei before, the latter was like this, listless.
A little earlier, when she was still at school, she would secretly call Lin Nan and complain about her mother.
"No way. I got a script, and I thought it was okay, but people in the company advised me not to vote for it."
"Looking for you to act? What movie?"
Lin Nan asked with a smile, sitting next to Liu Yifei, a little curious.
"It's not acting, Xie Nan asked me to invest. I studied it myself for a few days, but now I'm in trouble and have a headache."
Liu Yifei moved her buttocks and found a comfortable position. Leaning on Lin Nan.
"Hey, she also wants to be a director instead of a host?"
Lin Nan complained subconsciously without thinking too much.
"No. Oh, I'll bring the script. You'll know after you look at it."
As she spoke, Liu Yifei got up and went back to another villa to get the script.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Nan said with a smile.
