Chapter 641: A moment of silence for Jiang Wen in advance
"Reprinted from Hollywood movie information:
Controlled by Crystal Pictures, Lionsgate Films participated in investment and production, the R-rated film "Fifty Shades Darker" "Officially launched in Hollywood yesterday"
"The movie "Fifty Shades Darker" is the sequel to the same-class film "Fifty Shades of Grey", which has grossed more than 450 million US dollars at the global box office..."
"Director Lin Nan met with senior Penguin executives during the Shanghai International Film Festival, and the two parties are suspected of reaching a cooperation."
...
A series of news reports started.
The film and television industry was first shocked by the global box office data of "Fifty Shades of Grey", and then the meeting between Lin Nan and Penguin.
“R-rated movies really make money, no wonder they have to make sequels.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t do it in China.”
"Lin Nan is too independent, and mainland companies can't get involved at all!"
"On the first day of the forum, he belittled the film and television thinking of good Internet companies. The result? He hooked up with Penguin. What does this mean? "
"It makes sense, after all, Penguin is less aggressive than Alibaba Pictures!"
"Then Penguin will be like Alibaba. Like investing in other film and television companies, investing in Lin Nan Pictures? "
"Is it possible, not necessarily in terms of film and television cooperation? "
What ordinary netizens talk about the most is "Fifty Shades Darker", because pirated copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey" can be seen in China, and that's what everyone is interested in.
The film and television industry was more concerned about Lin Nan and Penguin's affairs. In addition to the strange ridicule, many companies came to inquire about the news.
After all, Lin Nan Pictures is recognized as a big piece of cake. If it really accepts the investment, then everyone will have an idea.
After hanging up the phone with Peikang, Lin Nan picked up the water on the table and drank it. The explanations or perfunctory explanations made him a little impatient.
"What happened yesterday afternoon, I started surfing the Internet at night. This is so efficient!" Lin Nan muttered.
He and Penguin have reached a preliminary cooperation intention and will sign a cooperation memorandum later.
Tudou will not have an angel round. Penguin can enter the market during the first round of financing.
The exact number of rounds of financing that will be carried out in the future is not yet certain, but they can all follow.
As an additional condition, Penguin must provide traffic support, and this is also one of the resources they proactively proposed. The two parties just hit it off!
As for financing, how many shares should be released?
Lin Nan, Wanda, and Guangguang will discuss it carefully at that time. They will never give others the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest. The initiative must be in their own hands.
“Dual-class share structure is imperative! In addition, although Weibo’s traffic is not as good as Penguin’s two software, it is still a good choice.”
…
Today, Disney's live-action fantasy film "Maleficent" adapted from "Sleeping Beauty" was released, and Liu Yifei went to the theater early.
After so many years, Lin Nan knows Miss Liu very well. She has many sides.
Innocence, kindness, happiness, sunshine... they have not disappeared under the rumors, but have sharpened their tough temperament.
Besides that, Liu Yifei has always had a girlish heart.
So she likes animated movies and films such as "Frozen" and "Sleeping Beauty", and she is a bit silly from time to time.
Had it not been for the quick promise to Jiang Wen yesterday, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would have gone to the movies together, and Zhou Xun would not have been there again.
“I thought you weren’t coming?”
When they arrived outside the "Master" press conference, Jiang Wen put his arm around Lin Nan's shoulders and joked.
“I wanted to go to the movies with Yifei, but she said it was not good to let you go, so she pushed me over.”
“Isn’t this a good wife? ! Let’s go in. I’m telling you, I’ve read both the novel and the script of “The Master” by Liao Fan, it’s great.”
“Another action movie?” "That's right, but it's not martial arts. To be precise, it should be about 'martial people' and 'warriors', with the background of the Republic of China."
Lin Nan became a little interested. The newly-minted Berlin Best Actor's first movie after returning was praised so much by Jiang Wen, so it's probably not bad.
Entering the press conference, Lin Nan found that the cast was quite large and there were many familiar faces.
"Director Lin, I am not involved in the drama. Wei Zhongxian's role in "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield" has been completed." Jin Shijie said with a smile.
Lin Nan responded with a smile, "You're really on the right track."
"To support your family." This reason is impeccable. After saying hello to Jiang Wenli, Lin Nan started chatting with Jiang Wen. This guy actually took out a handful of melon seeds for him.
Today was just for Jiang Wen’s sake. Lin Nan didn’t need to be formal, so the two of them started drinking.
"I'm going to discuss betting with the theater chain in advance, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Lin Nan looked at the melon seeds in his hand. They were not delicious.
“Are you kidding?”
"You think I'm not worthy?"
Fuck, this question is hard to answer, but Lin Nan really doesn't think "One Step Away" can compare to "Let the Bullets Fly".
"Then try to talk about my gambling model."
"Haha, I want to do it too. But do you think the grandsons of the theater chain will agree? I don't have you first. A record of breaking 1 billion box office and breaking 2 billion again."
Jiang Wen smacked his lips and cursed. "One Step Away" is a huge gamble, so it's no wonder there is no pressure.
What's more, Jiang Wen was ruthless enough at the time to go it alone, and all the 300 million investment came from his own company.
"Then what kind of gambling method are you talking about?"
"I am going to learn from Feng Xiaogang's "1942" last time."
"300 million Within the box office, you take 43%; for the part over 300 million and below 800 million, you take 45%; for the part over 800 million, you take 47%?
Brother, don’t blame me for attacking you last time. It’s a special situation. The five major issuers are in trouble, and Huayi defected. Do you think you can get this step-by-step increasing share ratio?”
"I can change it to 41%, 44%, or 47%, just bet on the later stage! It's already a box office era of 2 billion. I'll get a box office of more than 1 billion, isn't it too much? Good job, let's postpone it for another period..."
Lin Nan was stunned. Good guy, only Jiang Wen can say this, he is thick-skinned and confident enough!
"Not too much? I think it's quite excessive. Just take it easy, 41% is a bit too harsh..."
"Stop talking, it's decided like this. I'll talk to Ma later." Ke went to contact the theater. "
The press conference was being held above, and Lin Nan was trying to persuade Jiang Wen below, almost saying that he didn't like the movie.
But Director Jiang is notoriously stubborn in the industry, the type who can't pull ten cows back.
Come on, Lin Nan can only mourn Jiang Wen in advance!
When leaving, the guy even joked that Lin Nan should wait. Maybe during the Lunar New Year season, he would break Lin Nan's box office record.
"You are typical of being immersed in the glory of "Let the Bullets Fly" and unable to extricate yourself."
"Brother, this is called confidence!"
...
After Liu Yifei came back at noon, she kept telling Lin Nan about the character Maleficent in "Maleficent".
Obviously, Ms. Liu likes this movie very much, especially Angelina Jolie's performance.
But this is understandable. After all, there is a saying in Hollywood that there are two types of actresses in Hollywood, one is Angelina Jolie and the other is other actresses.
“Take time to play in the afternoon and pack your things in advance. We will go back tomorrow morning and we have to get up early.”
"I know, I have a lot of announcements later. Magazines, fashion shows... several endorsements are about to expire, and they are renewing their contracts."
Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, talking to Lin Nan was talking while sending messages to Shu Chang.
"Xiuchundao 2 Shura Battlefield" is about to be completed, and Shu Chang shouted for Liu Yifei to pick him up at the airport.
Lin Nan was also reading the news. Alibaba Film and Television moved really fast.
"Alibaba Pictures has reached a cooperation intention with the famous director Wang Jiawei and his company Zedong Pictures. The novel "Passing Through Your World" will likely be adapted to the big screen."
< br>
"Director Wang Jiawei confirmed that he will co-produce with Alibaba Pictures in the later stage.
The first film project will most likely choose to adapt a unit story from the novel "Passing Through Your World", and does not rule out cultivating the author's personal transformation As a director, he will personally participate in supervision and guidance..."
...
When I was writing the second chapter today, something happened that delayed a lot of time.
