Chapter 619 Choice is more important than effort, investment invitation
“What I want to tell you today will affect your future development route.”
As soon as Lin Nan opened his mouth, Reba asked He tensed up subconsciously.
"Development route?" She was a little nervous.
"Do you know about South Korea's "Running Man"?"
"I've watched a little bit. It's a good variety show. It's very popular."
Reba nodded. She didn't know what this had to do with her development path. Could it be that she wanted to send herself to South Korea?
"The company has obtained the copyright of this variety show and is preparing to produce "Running Man" in China."
Lin Nan started the topic directly. At this time, Reba was a little belatedly aware of it.
Besides, Liu Yifei stretched out her fair and slender fingers, picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate brought in by her assistant and put it to her red lips. The two complemented each other and were charming.
She looked at Reba and interrupted with a smile: "He wants to ask you if you would like to be a permanent guest on "Running Man"."
"Yes, a permanent guest. This variety show is the first Ji, it will be jointly created by our company, Enlight, and the South Korean team, and it will definitely be a hit. "
Lin Nan said with certainty under Reba's slightly dazed eyes.
"Isn't this a good thing? Why do you still ask me if I am willing?" Reba asked a little naively.
Lin Nan smiled at Reba: "It is a good thing, but it also has disadvantages. This is the reason why you come back for an interview, and it is related to your future development direction."
Reba turned around and looked at the eldest sister in confusion.
Miss Liu smiled and shook her head, indicating that she would continue to listen to Lin Nan.
“Most people think that celebrities and actors are the same profession, but there is still a big difference between them.”
“Real actors rely on their film and television works to speak, and their acting skills , rely on awards and audience recognition, which often requires outstanding talent or time.
For example, Gong Li and Zhou Xun are actors first and then top actresses; while teachers like Li Xuejian and Li Baotian are. Is a pure actor
A real actor can be a top star, but it is difficult for a star to become a real actor! You should understand the relationship between actors and stars, which one comes first and which one comes last? "
Reba listened very carefully. These are the real big names and actors in the industry.
Lin Nan changed the topic, "Well, you sister Yifei is one of those people who has a big heart. The heart of an actor also gave birth to the face and body of a top star.
Although she is a bit slow on the road of being an actress, it does not delay her from being an actor and also becoming a big star. She walks on two legs and takes her time. Haha..."
"Fuck you, if you want to say that I am less talented, just say so. I have a good mentality, I am an actor, I can endure hardships and I am making progress. I am the Golden Horse Best Actress! ”
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, a little arrogant, and said angrily.
"Your movie queen, that is, I will take you. Let you go by yourself, it will take years of the monkey... Oh, don't throw it away..."
Lin Nan has quick eyes and quick hands, and caught Liu Yifei Pretending to be angry, he smashed the strawberry at him and threw it into his mouth.
Reba felt very warm watching the fight between the two.
"Director Lin, what about me?"
Looking at Reba, Lin Nan became more serious.
“How long do you think it will take for you to enter the front line or even secure a first-line position if you rely on acting?
A hit drama, strong publicity, hard promotion? And then rely on Continuous hype? This method is very tiring. If your acting skills are not up to par, you will eventually become a joke.
On the road of being an actor, your talent and appearance are all limited. The acting career and achievements will not go far..."
Lin Nan said it very directly, without considering whether it would hurt his self-esteem, but an artist must have the psychological endurance.
Reba's face was already slightly pale, and she nodded lightly. She knew that it was difficult for her to choose a script because of her ethnic minority face.
She doesn’t have the talents of Gong Li and Zhou Xun, let alone the long-term accumulation of acting skills. There is a high probability that she will not be able to accumulate much.
"Now the company has a shortcut for you."
"Go to "Running Man"?" Reba responded quickly this time.
“Yes, through this variety show, you have a 90% chance of becoming a first-line actress. But there is a prerequisite, you must do it.”
Reba's mind was buzzing, and all she could think of was the phrase "You have a 90% chance of becoming a first-tier actress."
"Director Lin, tell me." Reba's eyes suddenly lit up. .
"If you have watched the original version of "Running Man", you should know that in this variety show, you must be open-minded and have fun. If you can be open-minded, it will not be 90%, but infinitely close. 100%."
At this point, Lin Nan paused: "But it also means that you have taken a different path, becoming a star first and then an actor.
You will become a popular female star, but you are just an ordinary actor. I am talking about your acting skills. Of course, you can also secretly improve and surprise everyone.”
"I am willing to choose this path."
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Reba gave her choice. She looked at Lin Nan with extremely firm eyes.
“It has been 4 years since I signed with the company and I have rarely seen you so decisive. It’s great. This variety show will continue and will become your base...”
Lin Nan I am very satisfied with Reba’s attitude. Be decisive when it’s time to be decisive. Choice is more important than hard work!
“Well, I listen to the company.” Reba nodded firmly again.
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Liu Yifei shook her fist at her.
"Thank you, Sister Yifei, I will work hard."
…………
"My Deskmate" made 110 million in three days, surpassing "Frozen:" "Gate of Rebirth" is worth 40 million, allowing the industry to once again see the charm of low-budget youth films.
The production industry has also become more convinced that youth-themed films are popular genre films, and they are right at the forefront. As long as it can be released to the public, it will make money.
Many film and television companies have not finished the youth-themed movies they have on hand, and they are rushing to develop new films of the same type.
Film companies that had never made a youth film before also hurriedly set up projects, hastily drafted scripts and assembled a shooting team.
Youth-themed movies have entered the assembly line production mode. The quality does not matter, as long as they can be shot and released as quickly as possible.
Many newly established small companies have no film production experience and ask how to shoot? Simple!
Just find out Director Lin Nan’s original speech and incorporate it into it. Haven’t you seen big companies doing this? !
Time flies and two days pass, and it’s the 29th.
In the film market, Xu Zheng's "The Hypnotist" was officially released.
The matter of Lin Nan Films investing in Happy Twist has also come to the signing stage.
The signing place this time was Happy Twist. It was a sign of respect from Lin Nan to the other party, and it was also the first time he met Zhang Chen.
Lawyers from both parties are verifying the contract, and there is a notary nearby.
Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Allen, Song Yang...Chang Yuan...
A group of core members of Mahua were also watching around, with excited expressions and joy on their faces. expression.
“Director Lin, it’s okay.”
“Mr. Zhang, it’s okay.”
“Please.”
Lin Nan and Zhang Chen signed and fingerprinted the three investment agreements.
"Director Lin, welcome to the happy Mahua family."
After receiving the equity transfer agreement, Zhang Chen and Lin Nan hugged instead of shaking hands.
"From now on, I will be my own. The funds will arrive before noon."
After saying that, Lin Nan looked at the actors in Happy Twist: "I'm very curious now. , what was Mahua’s first movie? ”
"It's "Charlotte Troubles". We are currently working on the script. We plan to officially start filming in the second half of the year."
Hearing the name, Lin Nan subconsciously looked at Shen Teng and Ma Li. "Director Lin guessed right, it's the two of them. They are partners in the stage play and the Spring Festival Gala. They will definitely not be replaced in the movie! They are the two most famous actors in the company, haha..."
Zhang Chen noticed Lin Nan's eyes and said with a smile.
“The filming team, logistics, and post-production can all be discussed.”
"Thank you, Director Lin."
Half an hour later, Lin Nan led the people away from Happy Twist.
When there was an extra 50 million in the company's account, a group of people were extremely excited.
"I seem to see a bright road ahead. My thousand-mile horse finally has a chance to run."
"Shen Teng, you are so wretched." Ma Li teased. .
"Does this mean that Mr. Zhang restricted you? Our temple is small?" Song Yang began to dig holes.
"Alas, I dare not say that. Without Mr. Zhang, we would not be where we are today, nor will we be tomorrow, haha..."
...
< br>In the afternoon, Lin Nan Pictures issued an announcement, and it quickly became a hot spot in the industry.
Actually, Happy Mahua did the same thing on Weibo, but after all, its influence is limited.
Many media are reprinting and reporting on it, and many people in the film and television industry are paying attention to it.
“It is reported that Lin Nan Pictures acquired 30% of the equity of Happy Mahua with a cash investment of 50 million this morning.”
“The latter is an entertainment culture media company, mainly engaged in The business is stage plays. It has a complete creative team and dozens of original stage plays. The works have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala several times. Its artists include sketch actors Shen Teng and Ma Li..."
"Lin Nan Films Or will you get involved in stage drama? ”
……
An announcement aroused heated discussion in the circle.
"Does Director Lin have a wide range of interests?"
"So calculated, Director Lin Nan currently owns many industries, including:
Lin Nan Pictures, Crystal Pictures (more than half of the shares), Tiangong Color, Shanhai Media, Tudou (suspected to be the largest shareholder), Weibo (shareholder), Happy Mahua (shareholder), Huayi (shareholder)"
"Upstairs! , you missed one family!”
"Yes, forget about one family, Hongxingwu, that is the dowry!"
"Uh... does he still need a wife?"
...
On Weibo , various discussions inside and outside the circle.
Lin Nan also had no peace at home, and the phone calls came one after another.
Several partners are asking him, why invest in a stage company with little prospect?
"If you are optimistic about them, just invest. Fifty million is not much.",
When receiving the call from Wang Changtian, Lin Nan said it very casually.
“I really don’t understand your operation, but I subconsciously feel that you won’t do anything to lose money!”
Hearing Wang Changtian’s words, Lin Nan really didn’t understand. Everyone is an old fox if they know how to refute.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Director Wang, the "Running Man" project will be officially announced in the next two days."
"The popular outdoor reality show in South Korea will be brought to the mainland. Do these domestic companies and artists have to fight, right? Haha..."
Wang Changtian smiled proudly. During these days, he has become more and more optimistic about "Running Man".
People in the film and television and entertainment circles are not fools. "Running Man" endorsed by Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight cannot be shoddy.
As long as you are an insider, you should be aware that this is a reality show that flatters people!
"When it is announced, we will start selecting people."
......
On the last day of April, Lin Nan did not go to the company, but stayed at home to rest.
He and Liu Yifei are going to attend the premiere of "Return" on May Day.
The movie was only released on the 16th, but the premiere was held on the 1st. This is very bold in the eyes of the film and television industry.
Because once the premiere is held prematurely, it is very likely that the movie will be deliberately smeared by trolls on the Internet before it is released.
This kind of thing happens all the time in the film industry.
But thinking that this is Zhang Yimou's movie, everyone has a natural feeling. Director Zhang should be full of confidence in his movie.
May Day, morning.
Liu Yifei, dressed as a strong woman, got into the car with Lin Nan and set off to the premiere of "Return".
"There should be a lot of people in the industry cheering for it today."
Lin Nan muttered, after all, this is a realistic-themed literary film in which Zhang Yimou and Gong Li join forces again after many years.
"I'm here to study. Fans call Teacher Gong Li 'Gong Huang'!"
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said it very seriously.
“Some things cannot be learned...”
Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, he was punched.
An hour later, the two arrived at their destination.
LeTV gave Zhang Yimou a high standard of courtesy, which was indeed much more elegant than Zhang Dapao at the time.
Hurrying through the red carpet, the atmosphere was really lively.
Lin Nan led Liu Yifei directly to the creative circle of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, and nodded in response to the greetings from the side.
"Director Zhang, Sister Gong Li..."
"Lin Nan, Yifei."
"Director Lin, Yifei."
...
To be honest, today is Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's movie, otherwise Lin Nan really wouldn't come to LeTV's activities.
He saw Mr. Jia, surrounded by a large number of actors and stars, mostly first- and second-tier actors.
You can hear from a distance that Jia Yueting is promoting "LeTV Pictures", "Stocks", "Subsidiary Listing"...
The people nearby, actors, celebrities, personal Everyone looked very interested.
“LeTV Pictures will open up part of its shares to the film and television industry in the second half of the year. All companies and studios in the industry, especially big directors and well-known actors, can invest in shares.
We will invest in shares in three years A-shares will be listed within 10 days...The market is developing rapidly now. Once listed, the market value will definitely reach more than 50 billion..."
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to the first row of seats, they happened to hear clearly what Mr. Jia said.
Good guy, you have such a loud voice!
"Director Lin, I heard that you recently invested in a small company that produces stage plays?
Coincidentally, LeTV Pictures, a subsidiary of our group, will begin to accept investment from the film and television industry in the second half of the year.< br>
Is Director Lin’s company interested in investing? We can send a formal investment invitation to Lin Nan Films...”
