Chapter 493 Investment, Results
In less than three minutes, Liu Yifei came back with a script.
"Here, this is the script Xie Nan gave me. He said that he found many companies, but was rejected by them all."
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He said:
“So, this is why she often invited you to have afternoon tea and dinner in those days?”
"When you think about it, it should be like this. She hesitated until the end before she spoke to me."
Liu Yifei nodded, said with a smile, and urged Lin Nan.
“I think this script is okay, but don’t you often say that I don’t have a good sense when choosing scripts? Then please help me take a look.”
“Everyone in the company suggested that I don’t Investment, I was very confused now, but I gave Xie Nan a guarantee."
"Okay, let me take a look."
< br>
As Lin Nan spoke, he flipped through the script. Within a minute, the expression on his face changed.
"What's wrong? Is it bad?"
"No, I'll look at it again."
Lin Nan quickly turned the pages and browsed.
Five minutes later, Lin Nan closed the script, although he had only read one-fifth of it.
"Why don't you watch it?" Liu Yifei asked.
Lin Nan looked at Miss Liu’s fair and delicate pretty face in front of her, smiled and shook her head:
“Don’t look, Xie Nan is trying to attract investment for Wu Dan. "
"You can guess this?"
"When he was filming "Thieves", he said that he would not give up his dream of directing. , besides attracting investment for him, who else can Xie Nan give to him? There is no movie name on the script..."
Lin Nan made some remarks at the end of his explanation.
"Then, should I invest? I checked, and it seems that this type of movie outside is really not very profitable..."
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan, a little timidly said.
“Fool, you want to invest, right?”
Lin Nan pinched the girl’s cheek, which was very smooth.
"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously.
"Then call Xie Nan and ask her to bring Wu Gan out. I will accompany you to meet them."
Lin Nan shook his head at Liu Yifei and signaled Mobile phone on the table.
"Really? Okay, I'll call right now. I guess she has been waiting for news from me these two days."
Liu Yifei picked up the phone, found the number, and dialed it immediately go out.
Looking at her serious look, Lin Nan smiled softly and murmured, "Congratulations, Producer Liu."
...
"Yes, Lin Nan and I are here to treat you.”
……
“Okay, let’s go there now, just in time for dinner”
Five minutes later, Liu Yifei hung up the phone and looked at Lin Nan.
"Today's dinner is settled, Xie Nan is treating us to a big dinner, hehe."
"The investment in a movie is at least tens of millions, and this meal is not cheap." Lin Nan joked.
"Okay, hurry up and drive, I'm going to change clothes."
Liu Yifei walked out of the villa with light steps.
.........
Half an hour later, Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei's newly bought Ferrari and drove her straight to the private restaurant.
At this time, Xie Nan and Wu Gan have arrived.
"Listen to me and order first. When they arrive, it will be time to serve the food." Xie Nan ordered.
“What should you order? Do you know what Director Lin likes to eat?”
"Nonsense, how could I possibly know. But I know what Yifei likes to eat, and that's enough."
Xie Nan rolled his eyes at Wu Gan, he's so stupid!
"That makes sense, you are awesome!" Wu Gan then realized it and gave a thumbs up.
“Huh, learn a little bit.”
……
The sun was setting gradually, and the weather in March was still a bit cool.
Lin Nan parked the car and followed the waiter with Liu Yifei to the private room.
Both of them wore light down jackets, and Liu Yifei also wore a hat, but it could not hide her outstanding temperament at all.
"Oh, Director Lin, Yifei, sit down quickly. The food is ready to be served."
Xie Nan said to the waiter.
It was much warmer after entering the private room. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei took off their coats.
"I have to call you Director Wu Gan this time?"
Lin Nan joked as soon as he sat down.
"Director Lin was joking, but he didn't dare to say that. I just directed a movie called "Spike" and I lost all my savings over the years."
"So this time? ”
"This has been settling down for five years, and we are ready to fight again. I am ashamed to say that I really can't find investment, so Xie Nan just spoke to Yifei."
When it comes to this topic, Wu Gan is really a little embarrassed. , a self-proclaimed man who relies on his girlfriend to find investment.
At this time, a team of waitresses came in, arranged the dishes, and then left.
These people obviously recognized several people here, especially Liu Yifei.
"Let's chat while we eat. I always order what Yifei likes to eat." Xie Nan added with a smile.
"I can tell." Lin Nan was also happy.
......
While everyone was eating and chatting, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei realized that Xie Nan had already gone to see Wang Changtian before, and Wu Dan had been preparing for this movie for a long time. .
Because some time ago, Guangguang announced a project: "Guangguang-Actor-New Director Project".
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Wang Changtian and the Guangguang evaluation team, Wu Gan did not meet the requirements. As an actor, he was stuck in the second or third tier, and as a director, he suffered another loss, so they decisively rejected Xie Nan and Wu Gan.
Lin Nan took a bite of the dish and silently mourned for Wang Changtian for three seconds.
“Let’s talk about investment.”
Lin Nan put down his chopsticks and spoke proactively. He came today to fight for Liu Yifei’s best interests.
"Director Lin, please speak." Wu Gan took over and everyone stopped using their chopsticks.
"Yifei's Hongxingwu can invest in this movie."
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two people opposite, Lin Nan added: "We want priority investment rights in your future movies."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Wu Gan smiled and agreed: "No problem."
"Yifei can fully invest in this film. For the next one, let’s take 40% of the investment share,” Lin Nan said casually.
"No problem, it's a deal."
Wu Gan raised his glass very decisively, as if he was afraid that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would regret it.
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei and said, "Go back later and you drive."
"Yes, okay." Miss Liu nodded gently.
Two hours later, Lin Nan admitted that he could not drink Wu Gan.
After making an appointment to sign the contract the next day, everyone dispersed.
That night, there were a lot of photos on the Internet, all of which were taken outside the private restaurant when everyone was separated.
"Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Wu Gan, and Xie Nan had a dinner together. Two men were suspected of drinking..."
The next day, Wu Gan and Xie Nan brought professional personnel, went directly to Hongxingwu.
The two parties signed an investment agreement for "Wolf Warrior", which also includes a priority investment clause for 40% of the investment share in subsequent films.
.........
Although "Love in Seattle" has been postponed for half a month, it seems that it can no longer run.
"Director Xue Xiaolu's work, "Love in Seattle", has a box office of 570 million. It is still early to be released, but the daily box office has dropped to about 1 million, and there is no hope of a 600 million box office!"
"This box office is already very high, I am very satisfied. Between the salary and the box office split, I can get a total of fifteen million in two times, which is great."
Xue Xiaolu and Lin Nan called All the time, there was excitement in his tone.
“Mr.
"Then I'm not polite, I know you are not short of the money."
After Xue Xiaolu finished speaking, she mentioned another thing.
"I have made a decision in the past few days. I will use this movie title and continue to make a sequel. But as you know, I am a working teacher and I am usually very busy, so the script may be completed very slowly. "
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Teacher Xue has also saved some money. Let's go together then?" Lin Nan joked.
"Then forget it. I just want to do a good job as a teacher, screenwriter and director, and I don't dare to invest.
There are so many examples out there. Once you invest, you will be invisible. It will double the pressure and will definitely affect the filming of the film. It is better for me to split the payment between the film remuneration and the box office, which is safe.”
When I was a director, I was fine, but when I was involved in investment and making movies, it was easy to get into trouble and become hysterical.

The lawsuit between Zhou Xingchi and Hua Yi is progressing very quickly.
After all, this case is not complicated, and the evidence collection is even simpler. It is also a typical case in the industry and has attracted much attention from the film and television industry.
Not surprisingly, Zhou Xingchi lost the lawsuit.
Although many people disagree and think Zhou Xingchi is right, the 80 million should be given to him, he deserves it.
But between morality and law, the latter will always win, and Hua Yi won.
At the entrance of the court, a large number of reporters surrounded Wang Zhonglei for interviews.
The latter still maintains that facial makeup smile, just like Yue Buqun.
He said something that made the entire film industry feel ashamed, but he didn’t seem to feel ashamed at all:
“Zhou Xingchi is a complete layman, even the judge knows more about movies than him Operations, better understanding of movies..."
Wang Zhonglei's words really mean that he is getting an advantage.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is deliberately humiliating Zhou Xingchi and leaves no room or way out for him!
Faced with Huayi's ridicule, Zhou Xingchi did not choose to appeal, because it was impossible to overturn the situation and an unsealed contract had no legal effect.
He just said one sentence in front of the media: "Hua Yi, they are so unethical..."
Hua Yi's behavior almost aroused public outrage on the Internet, but it was useless , few people in the industry speak out.
Only a few of Huayi's competitors dare to say a few words.
"When Director Zhou Xingchi chooses a partner next time, he can consider the lighting. I think Wang Changtian's reputation in the industry is still good. Many filmmakers can testify to this."
"Reputation is Signboard, someone is obviously smashing his own sign," Qin Hong also posted on Weibo.
Next, all the well-known film and television companies and distribution companies in the industry came out. Anyway, they were just being weird without naming names.
Even Lin Nan couldn't hold back and posted a Weibo post:
"In the future, colleagues should be more rigorous and careful when signing contracts.
Integrity must still be guaranteed by a contract. If you trust others too much, you may suffer big losses, just like Director Zhou Xingchi. I also look forward to cooperating with Director Zhou Xingchi..."
No matter whether he has the opportunity to cooperate in the future, Lin Nan just added, what Hua Yi did is really disgusting.
…………
“Made, they are all pretending to be good people, they are so hypocritical, give me eye drops! "
Wang Zhongjun smashed the imported porcelain on the table and cursed.
"As long as we win the lawsuit, we will get an advantage, and those people can only be jealous." Wang Zhonglei reassured.
"Yes, I'm safe. With Zhou Xingchi's efficiency in making movies, these people still want to cooperate with him, wait another four or five years? Haha."
Wang Zhongjun said disdainfully Said, unabashedly ridiculing all the film companies and distribution companies.
“As long as we remain the leader in this circle, we will naturally be right.”
At this point, Wang Zhongjun thought of something and looked at Wang Zhonglei.
"How's that land going?"
"It's almost done. It's still going to be done in the name of a film and television culture town, but the authorities are too strict about this land. I'm afraid that when the time comes..."< br>
“Don’t worry so much, the brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death.”
