Halfway through Chapter 577, show off your muscles
Lin Nan got into Liu Yifei’s car and no longer thought about the interview just now.
"Go back quickly, I'm starving."
"You didn't eat on the plane?"
Liu Yifei turned her head and asked with concern .
"Yeah, I was only thinking about you on the way. I just remembered that I didn't eat anything."
Lin Nan said seriously, getting a pair of cute white eyes and a sweet smile.
"Sit tight."
While speaking, Liu Yifei held the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator, giving Lin Nan a long-lost pushing feeling!
“Sissi, it’s a pity that you don’t want to be a driver.”
…………
The film and television industry is a little numb.
In just half a month, Lin Nan has been in the news since he openly and domineeringly sarcastic and scolded the award presenters and Cai Kangyong at the Golden Horse Awards Gala.
The news just reported today is even more shocking than the last!
"The film "The Invisible Guest", directed by Lin Nan, was released in North America for one week and grossed US$98.4 million at the box office!."
"At 12:30 noon, Director Lin Nan landed at the Capital Airport."
"In an interview with reporters, Director Lin Nan publicly admitted for the first time that he owns more than half of the shares of Crystal Pictures, a Hollywood independent film production company. ! ”
This last piece of news was like a thunderstorm in a dry day, blasting the entire film and television industry to a crisp and completely waking it up.
Everyone in the industry remembers that at the premiere of "Super Body", Lin Nan admitted for the first time that he owned shares in Crystal Pictures, but he emphasized that it was not much!
Now it seems that he was lying to everyone at that time!
State-owned enterprises such as China Film and Shanghai Film and Television were the fastest to respond.
Enlightenment, Wanda, Huayi, Bona... giants such as Xingmei, Chengtian, Yinghuang, etc., have seen this news one after another.
Entertainment companies, brokerage companies, actors and stars in the film and television industry were even more excited, especially those who had a good relationship with Lin Nan.
"More than half of the shares? I think it's the majority of the shares, right? That Tom should be a professional manager with some shares!"
On Huayi's side, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun analyzed it carefully.
Once upon a time, Wang Zhonglei was the first person in the industry to realize the relationship between Lin Nan and Crystal Pictures, but now he has made even bolder guesses.
"Whether it is more than half of the shares or the majority of the shares, it will not affect his identity as the boss of Crystal Pictures, nor will it change the fact that he owns a well-known Hollywood independent film production company!"< br>
Wang Zhongjun closed his eyes and said seriously.
"Keep a good relationship with him, and make sure he comes to the shareholders' meeting at the end of next month. In addition, pay him dividends in the form of additional stock distribution."
"All dividends , all in the form of additional shares?" Wang Zhonglei asked confirmingly.
"Yes, all."
…………
Lin Nan knew that after answering that question at the airport, he would not be able to rest in peace for a short time.
This is after he said that he had just over half of the shares, which was 55%. If he had said that he had 95% of the shares, then it is estimated that these people would not have made a phone call at this time, but would have committed suicide in person!
As the old saying goes, Lin Nan said it was 55% anyway. Believe it or not is a matter for others. He and Tom had a private equity holding agreement.
"Damn it, when I was in office, you told me that you only had a small amount of shares and could not influence the business of Crystal Pictures! 55% is called a little bit, but your little bit is 55%?"
Han Sanping A roaring voice came from the phone, and he looked so angry that he didn't look like a 60-year-old person at all.
"Director Han, I just want to make money leisurely and support my family. If I tell everyone, think about the consequences?
It will definitely happen every three days. If you urge me to start projects, recruit people, and make co-productions, maybe someone will care about the shares in my hand, use dirty tricks, or kidnap me morally, it will make me sick!”
Hearing this Lin! When Nan said this, Han Sanping's voice became softer unconsciously.
Because if I had known that Lin Nan had more than half of the shares at that time, I would have really urged him to start projects, co-productions, and large-scale productions every day...
"Then why is it made public now?" Han Sanping asked rhetorically .
"I don't think it was that time anymore. Now, I can take on things and my wings are full, what do you think? Haha..."
Lin Nan said this , but the real reason is that Internet capital is about to enter the market, and he has to show off his muscles to the outside world appropriately.
55% are muscles, and 40% are hidden muscles.
The development of Crystal Pictures in Hollywood over the years, the popularity it has gained, and the connections it has made cannot be achieved simply by relying on money from Internet capital.
This is the "capital" that only Lin Nan has and that other companies in the circle do not have, and it is also one of his confidence.
"Okay, that's good. Since you have chosen to go public, be prepared to be 'harassed'."
Han Sanping felt relieved and started joking again. .
“Thank you, Director Han, for your concern.”
"No, I'm retired, so I'd better avoid this title in the future."
Han Sanping asked with some emotion.
“You’re used to it, you can’t change it.” Lin Nan responded with a smile.
......
The calls came one after another, even several at the same time.
Ray and Wanda are the most excited because they are close allies.
Most of the people in the circle sent messages to express their "shock", and a few who had a particularly good relationship only called to complain.
In short, the fact that Lin Nan is the boss of Crystal Pictures has completely spread throughout the film and television industry within a few hours, and is also hotly discussed on the Internet.
Liu Yifei hugged the computer and smiled like a fool.
Because at the premiere of "Super Body", Lin Nan publicly admitted that the name "Crystal Pictures" was taken from Liu Yifei's English name "Crystal".
At this moment, her Weibo posts are all talking about this matter. The words that appear most often are:
"The boss lady of Hollywood Film Company", "The boss lady of Crystal Pictures", "Four Points One of them belongs to Producer Liu"...
It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the phone calls and text messages gradually decreased. Lin Nan answered all the calls from people like La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun. .
"Lin Nan, why didn't you call me to your place?"
When Lin Nan stood up and was about to leave Liu Yifei's garden and go back to his own place, he was stopped. . Looking at Miss Liu's face, she was a little angry.
"I call you, are you going? I'm counting the days." Lin Nan gave her a joking look.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly widened, and the next moment her face was stained with pink clouds, and she smiled broadly.
"You, you are so boring."
"Then shall I leave?"
"Walk quickly, walk quickly, day by day, I am still thinking about this..."
"I said Princess Sissi, you were the one who made the first attack?"
"I am a woman. "
Liu Yifei crossed her arms and said arrogantly.
"Okay, I agree with this reason, you are the best." Lin Nan smiled and apologized.
…………
In December, the first weekend box office data of two domestic films that attracted much attention in the early Lunar New Year period were released.
"No Man's Land" was released for 6 days and grossed 137 million. The daily box office is stable, more than 20 million every day!
As for "Famous 2", it had 26.48 million on the first day and 34.72 million on the second day. It was released for 3 days and reported 89.34 million in the first weekend.
But when it comes to word of mouth, the latter is not as good as the former.
Because traditional martial arts has been declining, and everyone has his own martial arts in his heart.
The box office of Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Catchers 2" already has a feeling of burning oil, as if it is burning its potential to the maximum and will not last long.
Fortunately, the investment cost of the film is not high. The second and third films were shot as a set, so there is absolutely no problem in making money.
......
Now that Lin Nan has returned to China, he doesn't need to think too much about things in Hollywood. Leonardo and the others are watching "The Invisible Guest".
He plans to stay in the company for two days and then start promoting with the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."
Several other Lunar New Year movies have sent him premiere invitations.
I definitely want to go to "New Police Story 2013", which the company participated in.
“The auditions for "Nirvana in Fire" just started at the beginning of the month, and the competition is particularly fierce.
Basically all the TV drama niche actors and actresses in the circle have gone, and some second- and third-tier actors are also eyeing it. I heard that Noon Sunshine’s own actors are also auditioning..."
Listening to Yue Jun's report, Lin Nan felt that there were really a lot of things to do at the end of this year!
"Don't worry about that, anyway, the final list has to be put in front of me. If any one is 'unsuitable', it will be replaced."
Suddenly, Lin Nan thought of what he had done before What to tell Yue Jun.
"How is the matter with Shiyue Culture and the copyright of "Running Man" going?"
A helpless smile suddenly appeared on Yue Jun's face.
"The progress at Shiyue Culture is a bit slow. Can you give me another half a year?"
Lin Nan nodded: "Okay, what about the other thing?"
"Lunar Calendar I will go to South Korea again in the next year.”
“Are you sure?”
Yue Jun nodded, “Absolutely.”
"Then I wish you good luck."
A few minutes later, the two of them left the office at the same time.
Lin Nan went straight to the screenwriting department. He had to ask how the script of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was going.
Seeing Lin Nan's figure, someone naturally came over to greet him.
“Director Lin, the first draft was completed at the end of last month and is now being revised for the second time.”
"Approximately how long."
"The final draft can be finalized before the end of the year."
TV drama scripts are different from movie scripts. The workload is larger, but there are definitely no top-notch movies. The requirements of the script are so strict.
“Okay.”
When Lin Nan returned to the office with the script that had been refined once, Ye Ning’s call came.
"Mr. Ye, I just came back yesterday. You called today. Are you really not giving me any time to rest? Haha..."
"I don't want to call and disturb Director Lin, but the theater companies It’s urgent, Wanda is the number one theater chain, so we can only take the lead.”
Lin Nan smiled, “Tell me, what’s going to happen this time? You’re not going to ask me to give up. Is it a box office betting model?”
“Hahaha, Director Lin, they don’t have this idea now. You are a person who has made nearly 100 million US dollars in box office in North America in a week, and there are Hollywood producers. The company...
Their current idea is to quickly sign the gambling split agreement, fearing that you will follow Zhang Weiping's example, and then the lion will start talking, and then they will win over each other! "
"Is this an insult to me? Are you comparing me to Zhang Dapao?" Lin Nan laughed and cursed.
"I don't dare. Director Lin, let's see when you have time. Dozens of theaters are waiting for you."
"Let's do it tomorrow. I will start going to movies the day after tomorrow. Promoted.”
“Okay, I’ll inform them now.”
