Chapter 618 Shares, "Charlotte", "Running Man"
On May 1st, the first-day box office data of the first two movies have already made headlines in the media.
"Produced by Guangguang, starring Lin Gengxin and Zhou Dongyu, the youth film "My Deskmate" grossed 25.63 million at the box office on the first day of its release."
"Starring Donnie Yen and Huang Sheng Starring Yi, the movie "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" lost to "My Deskmate" on its first day, with a revenue of 22.92 million. "
"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, starring Zhao Liying, Huo Jianhua and others. The costume fairy tale "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" officially started shooting at Hengdian Film and Television City this morning."
...
Lin Nan slid the mouse.
The Hollywood blockbuster "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is scheduled to be released in late May, and I heard that Fan Bingbing will star in it. Hong Kong's "Overheard 3" went to the end of May.
"Director Yue is quite ruthless, he actually opened his mouth and got 40%!"
Looking away from the computer screen, Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and joked.
"I wanted to quote a higher price so that there would be room for negotiation." Yue Jun spread his hands and said with a smile.
Lin Nan nodded. Facts have proved that Yue Jun’s 40% repayment was very good.
Although Zhang Chen sternly rejected Yue Jun's intention to acquire 40% of the shares on the spot, he did not reject Lin Nan Pictures' investment in the company.
“He thinks 40% is too much, and I don’t agree with 25%. There is no result after a lot of pushing and pulling, so we all just go back and think about it again.”
Yue Jun continued to add , as if he had a winning chance.
"Although they haven't reached an agreement for the time being, they will not give up in the future.
As long as a person sees real opportunities and temptations, he will never forget them and keep them in his mind. Unless he has great courage and absolute self-confidence. You can do it yourself!"
Lin Nan analyzed that this is human nature.
Suddenly, Yue Jun's phone rang.
The two looked at each other instantly.
"Happy Twist?"
"It's them."
"Answer."
"Mr. Zhang, this is Yue Jun." The external voice on the mobile phone was turned on.
"Director Yue, we have thought about it and found that 40% is still too much and will affect the company's normal operations..."
Lin Nan wanted to laugh a little while listening to Zhang Chen's "explanation" on the phone.
This is not because he is afraid of affecting the company's operations. It should be because he is afraid of threatening his control over Happy Twist, and that he may be slowly cannibalized and occupy the magpie's nest in the future.
At this time, I heard a number being reported on the phone.
"...30%, that's the most we can give out. If it's more, I think Happy Mahua can accumulate it for a while, or find another company..."
Yue Jun looked at Lin Nan with a questioning look in his eyes.
Lin Nan nodded.
“30%?”
“Yes, the current market value of Happy Mahua is around 200 million...”
“Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? How did you calculate the market value of 100 million? I don’t think it’s worth that much, right?”
Yue Jun is lowering the price because Zhang Chen did inflate the market value, but this is human nature.
"We have our own theater, our own brand, the programs are all original, and the reputation is very good..."
"But the scale is not very good, and it is only famous around the capital, and the profit scale of stage plays is very small. ..."
Looking at the two people arguing, Lin Nan interrupted with a smile:
"Let's do this, Mr. Zhang, I will give you 50 million for the 30% of the shares. , must be higher than 30% of the actual market value. "What do you think?"
Hearing Lin Nan's voice suddenly, Zhang Chen over there was stunned and immediately realized that it was Lin Nan.
He also knew that he was falsely reporting a high price, but this was business after all, and he had to fight for as much as he could.
“Since it is Director Lin who has spoken, in order for the company to develop better in the future, I accept this price.”
“If new investors are introduced in the future, Lin Nan Pictures will retain the additional investment The right to invest.”
“Okay.”
“Okay, let’s make an appointment to sign the contract.”
.........
Yan Fei, Peng Damo, as well as Shen Teng, Ma Li, Song Yang and others who had just finished the performance were all chatting in the backstage rest area.
These people are almost all the core members of Happy Twist.
"Mr. Zhang asked everyone to come over and say that he has something important to report." An assistant trotted over and shouted.
Yan Fei and Shen Teng stood up immediately, "Done?"
Others realized it later and rushed back immediately.
When everyone came to the office area to see Zhang Chen, the latter was drinking tea leisurely.
"Mr. Zhang?" Yan Fei asked first.
Zhang Chen put down the teacup in his hand, took a deep breath, and smiled on his face.
“Let me tell you some good news. I have already negotiated with Lin Nan Pictures. They invested us 50 million in cash and became shareholders of Happy Mahua, accounting for 30% of the shares.
Not only can we make movies, but maybe everyone will also have a chance to make movies or TV series from Lin Nan Pictures in the future. Haha..."
Everyone was excited when they heard the news.
The big screen is right in front of us!
"Finally, it's time to switch from shotgun to cannon. "Shen Teng smiled and hugged Ma Li.
"It's great, the company is rich. Should we add some bonuses first? Ha ha. ”
...
Zhang Chen ignored a group of dishonest people, but looked at Yan Fei and Peng Damo, who were the company's directors and screenwriters.
"Lao Yan, Damo, let's see which play we adapt first?"
The investment in comedy movies is small, and the leading actors can directly use their own actors. After all, it is on the stage. They are acting and have rich experience, so the cost is lower.
So, Zhang Chen made a decisive decision to start the movie project. "I think everything is fine."
“Any one of our popular dramas will do.”
“How about we just use today’s one? Ma Li and I just finished it.”
Shen Teng interrupted, and everyone looked at him, including Zhang Chen.
"Well, we made a deal with Lin Nan Pictures today, and we proposed to make a movie today. So instead of choosing a script, we will use today's stage play. What do you two think?"
Zhang Chen asked Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay."
"That's it, I'll leave the script to you two."
"Okay. ”
When Zhang Chen turned around and returned to the office, it was already bustling outside.
"Good guy, you can do it, Brother Teng. This is "Charlotte's Trouble"!"
"Director Yan, Director Peng, when you write the script, add some drama to me, like a supporting role. "
"Me too."
......
"The Master of Hypnosis" produced by Wanda and starring Xu Zheng and Mo Wenwei is also having its premiere. .
But Lin Nan didn't go. He went shopping with Liu Yifei and had dinner together.
On Friday, "My Deskmate" and "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" were released at the same time, and the box office difference on the first day was less than 3 million.
But after the daily box office yesterday and Saturday came out today, the industry was dumbfounded.
The former’s daily box office soared to 43.61 million, while the latter’s was only 26.27 million.
Even Lin Nan has to admit that after watching it, youth films have indeed been in the spotlight in the past two years.
As long as it's a nostalgic youth movie, no matter how rubbish it is, as long as it can enter theaters, it can make money, even a lot of money.
"Since you got married, we haven't seen each other for half a year, right?"
In the restaurant, Lin Nan was peeling shrimps while talking to Zhu Yawen.
The shrimp meat put into the bowl was always taken away by Liu Yifei before Lin Nan could eat it, and then she gave him a smile in return.
“Yes, I accepted a TV series and I just came back.”
"Last time the school said you would go back to teach, how is it now?" Luo Jin asked while eating.
"We are going through the establishment process, and there is also the matter of professional titles, which will be finalized in the second half of the year.
The school will officially announce it by then. Don't spread the word about it, you two." Lin Nan He warned with a smile.
Liu Yifei also nodded and joked: "When he lectures, it will definitely be interesting for us to sit in and listen. Well, I will also record it."
"Good idea!"< br>
Zhu Yawen gave a thumbs up and looked at Lin Nan, "When the time comes, I will definitely go and see how Professor Lin teaches, haha..."
"Tsk, tsk, it's quite dreamy. "Yes. However, I estimate that your class will be full, especially those from the performance department, who will definitely take your class or skip it." Luo Jin agreed.
Lin Nan definitely understands this. Students from art schools understand the world better than students from ordinary universities.
“We’ll talk about it later, eat quickly. I can see several paparazzi around me...”
……
More than an hour later, when the four of them left the venue, their news was already in the hot searches on Weibo.
"Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin gathered for dinner this morning, talking and laughing..."
After making an appointment to meet next time, Lin Nan drove Then Liu Yifei left.
The two of them did not go home, but went directly to the company.
Because Lin Nan just received a call from Yue Jun, Reba is back.
The team in South Korea has been working with people from Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight for the past month.
The specific project planning for the first season of "Running Man" is already halfway done.
It’s time to start preparations for this variety show.
Back at the company, the two went directly to the office. Yue Jun, Reba, and their agent were all there.
“Sister Yifei, Director Lin.”
Good guy, after seeing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, the first person Reba shouted was not the boss?
Lin Nan was a little speechless. What happened to these people? Why are everyone so realistic? !
“Long time no see, have you graduated?”
“Well, I got the highest score.
Wait until the end of May, and I will go back to collect my graduation certificate and After receiving my degree certificate and attending the graduation ceremony, I was completely liberated.”
Reba smiled and nodded. Her resume was the best among all her classmates. Shanhai Media’s brand name worked well everywhere.
"Just graduate and stay in the capital from now on." Lin Nan instructed.
"Well, I think so too.
Director Lin, when you called me back this time, did the company have any movie appointments for me?"
Received from Since Yue Jun's call, Reba has been looking forward to it.
So after the defense and graduation performance, she rushed back immediately. Otherwise, she would stay at the school until the end of May and come back after attending the graduation ceremony.
When it came to serious matters, Lin Nan became more serious.
"Why don't you, Director Lin, talk to me and I go out first? I still have to keep an eye on the contract with Happy Mahua."
Yue Jun said with a smile, leading Reba's The agents left the office together.
Now that there are only three people left, Reba can clearly feel that Lin Nan has something important to say.
