Chapter 642 We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket
Getting up early in the morning, Lin Nan heard that Wang Jing’s "Macau 2" was going to hold a launch conference in the capital in the morning.
Faced by the huge pressure from public opinion in the mainland and the tacit attitude of banning it from above, Bona and Wang Jing’s team made decisive adjustments.
In the first part, some people with blatant buttocks were eliminated. This part has added many mainland actors.
The media over there seem to have learned a little better in the past two years, but only a little.
Although I dare not openly refute the fact of the ban, I am still arrogant and criticizing.
It is said that the Mainland market is too glass-hearted and petty, and is always picky about their actors and goes above and beyond.
Even some actors and artists over there are still defending the idiots who have been banned. I wonder if they all have pig brains or have ulterior motives?
Before eight o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finished washing and had breakfast.
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
After putting on her sunglasses and holding Lin Nan's hand, Miss Liu was about to go out.
The high ponytail swayed slightly, looking very excited.
Lin Nan was holding the phone with her other hand, half a body behind her.
“Don’t forget to sign a contract with China Film Group the day after tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. La, I will be there on time.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan saw another text message from Wang Changtian.
"Running Man" will officially start recording in four days, and we have to make an appearance and build momentum by then.
"'Mermaid'?" Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and asked.
She learned about Zhou Xingchi's new movie from Lin Nan two days ago. The 90 million yuan was invested in this movie.
“Yes, that’s it.”
Lin Nan pretended to be in pain, "I have to regain my strength in the past two days, and take advantage of the sharp rise in Huayi's stock price to cash out some stocks."
"Hahaha, don't say it's an improvement again. Life. They are all joking now, saying that I am in charge of your money, saying that you are too lavish."
Looking at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei joked with a smile.
"You? Haha, you can't even take care of your own finances, yet..." Lin Nan smiled and suddenly looked into Liu Yifei's eyes teasingly.
“What’s that look in your eyes?” Miss Liu was a little stupid.
"I was wondering, was someone hinting at me just now? Princess Sissi, what do you think."
"Ah? Then you are simply overthinking, and I am going to let you eat soft rice."
Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She is a standard independent woman.
"Tsk, tsk, it's not easy. You are such a soft-mouthed person, but I have been waiting for you since the first time I saw you in school."
"Oh, stop talking. ”
After saying something embarrassingly, the smile on his oval face couldn't stop.
The car drove quickly towards the airport. There was not much traffic at this time, and we arrived at early nine o'clock.
Tomorrow night is the closing ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival, the final and grandest red carpet event.
It is estimated that except for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, basically no celebrities in the industry will leave the Magic City today.
Because for most stars, the red carpet of Class A film festivals is the top resource, exposure, camera, and commercial value.
Those who have film works will definitely not be absent, and those who don’t will find ways to get involved.
When some entertainment reporters saw Lin Nan and the two at the airport, they were a little emotional.
"Only Director Lin dares to play like this. He really brought Liu Yifei to participate in the forum and play. Oh no, it was the play that happened to participate in the forum!"
…………
The backdoor transaction was successful and Hairun, which had been restructured for nearly two months, received news in the morning that the stock had officially resumed trading and issuance.
So far, there is another listed company in the film and television industry.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei left the Capital Airport, they were blocked by reporters and asked about their views on the matter.
While congratulating him, he also publicly stated his attitude for the first time - Lin Nan Pictures has no plans to go public and will not go public.
Immediately afterwards, the news spread rapidly on the Internet.
A large number of companies in the industry, Internet companies and financial institutions feel it is a pity.
You know, once Lin Nan Pictures goes public, the guarantee will be another Huayi, and it will most likely be stronger.
Many people even think that Lin Nan is a bit ungrateful and too independent. He just doesn’t want the big guys to take advantage of him!
"Backdoor listing, the potential is really not that good, the market value is only 2.522 billion?"
Liu Xiaoli was preparing lunch, and Liu Yifei ran back and forth, saying that she was planning to start, but in fact she was just making trouble.
Lin Nan was ordered to wait in the living room for dinner, and he immediately started reading the news.
Compared with Huayi's, Hairun's market value is only one-third, which is really like a joke.
However, the Deng Chao couple successfully became capital through the listing of Hairun.
After having lunch with Liu Yifei and her mother-in-law-to-be, and resting for more than an hour, Lin Nan hurried back to the company.
The filming work for "The Secret of the Dragon" is progressing very smoothly, and the start-up time may be advanced.
“The first-round broadcast rights were bought by Capital TV, Dragon TV, Blueberry TV, and Shandong TV, and the profits were very good.”
In the office, Lin Nan took the details handed over by Yue Jun and read them carefully.
The production cost of "Red Sorghum" was as high as 120 million, mainly because Zhou Xun was very expensive. After all, she is a three-time Best Actress, so she took 30 million.
Even though she had a good relationship with Lin Nan and offered to reduce her salary, Lin Nan couldn't really reduce her salary.
He lowered her salary for the TV series. If other big directors or big companies come to her in the future, will she still get a lower salary?
If it is lowered, it will affect the market quotation after the weekly news. If it is not lowered, it will offend people!
Simply speaking, one episode was paid 500,000 yuan, but Lin Nan didn't give Zhou Xun a penny last year.
"Sixty episodes, the transaction price for each episode is 1.1 million. This is the only price a recognized and influential high-quality drama like "Red Sorghum" can sell for." Yue Jun said proudly .
“The four companies in the first round, each with 66 million, are really not bad profits. What if some companies only make TV series? Although the profits are not as good as blockbuster movies, the risks are also much smaller. Yeah." Lin Nan nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Director Lin, there are several invitations and invitations from you."
Looking at the red wedding invitation at the top, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, and Really.
"Let's see. Good guy, at the end of November? We went together with the Golden Horse, and we were still in Taipei! There won't be any Golden Horse down here, right?"
Lin Nan even admired his crow's mouth, just now After finishing speaking, the next letter was a guest invitation letter from Golden Horse. "Tsk, tsk, I won a few awards for "Genius Gunslinger", and it still sticks to me? Let's talk about it, and I will most likely not be free.
This year, "Seaside" "Manchester" will apply for the Golden Globe and Oscar, and I may go to Hollywood to stay during that time."
After chatting for a while, Lin Nan asked about "The Secret of the Dragon".
Wu Ershan personally led the team to go to the scene to collect scenery, and they would be back before the end of the month.
If it’s quick, “The Secret of the Dragon” will be officially launched in July.
……
The Shanghai International Film Festival, which has been bustling for nearly ten days, has finally come to an end.
Since early in the morning, Weibo has been full of interactive photos sent by the assistants or studios of various celebrities.
Those who were trying on dresses, putting on makeup, and taking photos were all either beautiful or handsome, and none of them were ugly anyway!
All female celebrities are preparing carefully for the red carpet, and they must use their best skills in those two or three minutes to compete.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had nothing to do at night and even watched the live broadcast.
Sure enough, in the eyes of all stars in the industry, the most important thing about the Magic City International Film Festival is not the awards ceremony, but the closing ceremony red carpet.
“Even if Gong Li comes to serve as the chairman of the jury, he can’t change the style of the Shanghai Film Festival.”
After watching the award ceremony, Lin Nan sighed.
Except for the Jury Prize, all the important awards in the main competition were won by foreign films as expected.
However, this year’s Movie Channel Media Awards category is quite interesting. It is completely opposite to last year’s skepticism. This time everyone agrees.
Because it was Li Baotian and Tao Hong who won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
Even the Best New Director was not criticized like Guo Jingming last year, but instead received a lot of praise.
"Xiao Yang, "Old Boy: The Dragon Crosses the River"! It seems to be released next month?"
...
In the morning, La Peikang's secretary called specifically to remind him. .
Lin Nan took two employees from the company and went directly to China Film.
La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Zhou Xingchi and Lin Nan were still the same as when they met a week ago.
It's just that this time everyone brought one or two more people because it involved contract matters.
"Has Director Zhou found all the investment?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.
"Thank you, Director Lin, for your concern. I will pay for part of it, and some others have been decided."
The four of them were chatting and laughing, while the subordinates were carefully checking the film investment. protocol.
"Director La, Director Ren, and Director Lin, there is something I want to tell you three in advance."
"Director Zhou, please speak."
"In order to ensure the publicity effect of this movie, my team is preparing to conduct an audition lasting two to three months to select the heroine."
Hearing Zhou Xingchi's words, La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun's eyes instantly lit up.
A few famous "girls" that people talk about in the circle are Mou Girl, Star Girl, and Dragon Girl.
These titles are undoubtedly names for newcomers.
And every time a new person is introduced, it can arouse huge discussion and attention from the outside world.
If a special audition is held for the new "Star Girl", you can imagine that the publicity effect will be sensational!
“Good idea!”
“Shanghai Film Support.”
“I have no objection.”
"Lin Nan, you didn't even praise a 'Lin Girl', you're not doing your best!
That Jing Tian, let's count him half. Although he acted in your "The Martian", he was the first to be released. But it’s a horror movie, "Anaconda"
La Peikang looked at Lin Nan and joked.
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to Zhou Xingchi and replied casually:
"Didn't La Dong notice? These 'Mou Girl', 'Dragon Girl', and 'Star Girl' are all the same as 'Girl' 'The previous name has been rumored."
"Good guy, are you henpecked?!" La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun laughed.
On one side, Zhou Xingchi shook his head with a smile. He had been involved in a lawsuit with "Star Girl".
"Director La, there is no problem."
"Director Ren, there is no problem with the contract."
"Director Lin, yes."
Following the reports from their subordinates, several people began to sign the contract.
China Film 25%, invested 75 million; Shanghai Film 15%, invested 45 million; Lin Nan 30%, 90 million!
"I have an idea, do you want to hear it, about publicity."
After signing several contracts, Lin Nan suddenly looked up at a few people and said.
“If you have a good idea, just say it.”
"Director Lin, I humbly ask for advice."
"Director Zhou has starred in many classic comedy movies. In the past, most mainland audiences watched pirated versions online or for free on TV.
The word "Zhou Xingchi" is also the "god" in the hearts of countless mainland movie fans! In response to this, we can play the emotional card in publicity."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang. They all nodded after thinking.
Only Zhou Xingchi smiled sheepishly, "How could Director Lin be so exaggerated?"
"Can you just tell me how to use the emotional card for publicity?" La Peikang asked.
“For example, we can start online marketing from now on. The core content is just one sentence: We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket!”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he looked at San people.
La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and Zhou Xingchi were all stunned, but their eyes were glowing green!
