Chapter 670 Oscar, the quagmire of the entertainment industry
"Lin, I got accurate inside information. Your name is on the invitation list for new members of the Oscar Academy this year."
Tom was excited said. For Crystal Pictures, this is great news.
If Lin Nan can win an Oscar again, such as Best Director or Best Picture.
The influence of Crystal Pictures in Hollywood will instantly increase ten times or even dozens of times under the double superposition. It’s exciting to think about it!
Hearing Tom's answer, Lin Nan was in a daze for a moment. Is it really true?
"Is your news true or false? Don't let anyone fool you!"
Lin Nan asked uncertainly. To be honest, he seemed to have some expectations in his heart?
"There will be no lies, believe me. We are best friends at the party, they will not lie to me about this kind of thing."
Hearing Tom's vows, Lin Nan suddenly I'm a little suspicious of the "party" he mentioned. Is this "party" serious?
After all, there is an old saying that goes well: The four pillars of life are those who went to the countryside together, carried guns together, went to school together, and went whoring together...
Oops, my thoughts went astray!
"Okay, I believe you. But before you officially receive the invitation, don't make any noise. If it's fake, I will become an international joke!"
Lin Nan solemnly emphasized that Tom had this problem.
“Don’t worry, I’m still waiting for Crystal Pictures to double its market value, double its business, and become the second Wayne...the second big producer!”
"Damn it, if you really become Weinstein, we can say goodbye."
Lin Nan retorted angrily. This guy actually realized that he changed his tune in the middle.
"Haha, I'm just talking, just talking. That's it, see you later. Oh, forgot, say hello to Crystal for me, Tom wishes her a happy engagement.
Besides, I remember them Tell me, you will receive an invitation from the Academy in about a month, and it will be announced later!"
"Yes, I understand."
Lin Nan smiled and hung up the phone, looked up at Lin Nan Pictures, which was more than ten floors high, and felt very good.
“Huh?”
In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through Lin Nan’s mind.
“Good guys, if what Tom said is true...doesn’t that mean that I can vote for my own “Manchester by the Sea” in this year’s Oscar selection? Oh, this is interesting! ”
……
Lin Nan originally wanted to talk to Yue Jun about Shanhai Media, but when he entered the company, he learned that the latter had gone to attend the 12th China International Film and Television Program Trade Exhibition on behalf of Lin Nan Pictures and was not in the company.
Lin Nan had vague ideas about Shanhai Media’s arrangements before.
Nowadays, as the entire film and television industry has skyrocketed again in salary, it has become a major trend for actors and artists to open personal studios.
Those who are more capable and well-connected can directly open a film and television company, but there are very few actors and stars like this.
The influx of hot money and the expansion of territory in the Internet industry will continue to force the salaries of the film and television industry to continue to rise, because the only weapon for those people is money!
Moreover, behind the skyrocketing remuneration, there may be other shady operations hidden.
Lei Jiayin’s contract is the first to expire, and Lin Nan plans to ask Yue Jun to talk to him.
If the contract expires and he wants to leave, the company will never stop him. It’s easy to get together and part ways, and we are still friends.
If he wants to renew the contract, I suggest him to open a studio. The company will provide certain support and help, but it must take a share.
As for the other three artists whose contracts have not expired, Lin Nan more or less has some ideas and plans, and we still have to talk about them later...
"Director Lin, aren't you going to ask Guo Fan and I what we think?"
Tiangong color, Lu Yang put down the Coke in his hand, speechless.
"You and Guo Fan? Okay, let me ask you now, do you have any plans to open a studio? The company can provide financial and network support."
Lin Nan asked sincerely .
"Hahaha, no!" Lu Yang replied jokingly.
Lin Nan smiled and pointed at Lu Yang. He had guessed this result early on. He understood the personalities of these two people.
“Look at the film industry, which directors actually run their own studios and companies? There are only a few big directors including you, and you are still the strongest one.
Guo Fan and I are not prolific directors. If we open our own studio, we will starve to death! It is better to stay in the company honestly, get high salary and box office split, and have a big tree to enjoy the shade..."
Lu Yang showed unparalleled shrewdness and sobriety at this moment, he really looked like a veteran who had been wandering around the world!
"Well said! That's why I didn't plan to ask you two. You are so lazy as a director, and you still open a studio? Haha..."
Lin Nan laughed and said, "Just work for yourself honestly!"
As noon approached, Lin Nan received a call from Jackie Chan.
When the meeting ended the day before yesterday, the latter said that he would treat him to dinner. Lin Nan also hoped that the other party would be too busy and forget about it.
In this case, you can escape. I just didn't expect that the call would come today.
Just as Lin Nan was quickly thinking about the reasons for his refusal, Ren Zhonglun's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I saw the news on the Internet today, and it said that you drove Yifei's red Ferrari to the company. You shouldn't have eaten yet, right? Come and join us?"
Okay, when Ren Zhonglun said these words When the time came, Lin Nan had only one option - go to the banquet!
Jackie Chan invites guests to dinner, what does he want to do? Of course Lin Nan could guess that it was for his son.
But Lin Nan really can’t help with this kind of work!
“Oh, he asked Shanghai Film Academy for help? It seems that the eldest brother and Shanghai Film Academy have a lot of intersections!”
Lin Nan drove to the dining place that Jackie Chan sent over, a very private private restaurant.
Following the waiter around and around, after entering the box, Lin Nan took off his sunglasses. Counting him, there were only three people here.
Jackie Chan’s assistants and Ren Zhonglun’s people are all guarding outside.
"Director Ren, eldest brother."
"Director Lin, sit down quickly."
"Lin Nan, sit here."
It can be seen that Jackie Chan is the host today, and Ren Zhonglun and Lin Nan are both guests, but Ren Zhonglun does not look like a guest entirely. Lin Nan murmured in his heart and didn't think about it any more.
The three of them chatted for a few minutes until all the dishes were served and all the service staff left.
At this time, Jackie Chan took action and poured Lin Nan a glass of wine himself.
"Brother, I drove here by myself, and it was Sissi's car."
"Ah? Forget it, let's have tea."
As he spoke, Jackie Chan rushed to Lin Nan again Pour a cup of tea.
The former didn't say anything about letting someone send Lin Nan back after drinking, because there was no need and everyone was understanding.
“Come on, I’ll go first.”
Jackie Chan was very generous and drank the first cup of white wine directly.
Ren Zhonglun smiled and took a sip, and Lin Nan could only serve him with tea.
"Director Lin, do you think there is any room for this 'ban'?" Jackie Chan said abruptly.
“What leeway?”
Lin Nan asked subconsciously. But the moment he asked this question, he already knew the answer.
"From a permanent ban to a ban within a few years?"
"I...I don't know. The first round of document compilation meeting will only start on the 28th."
>"I think there is still room for this kind of leeway. Didn't the 42 public institutions and entertainment agencies yesterday just appeal for this matter?"
At this moment, Lin Nan's three views were affected. It was quite a shock, and I even felt a little scared in my heart.
The chairman of Shanghai Film Studio, Ren Zhonglun, is a director. How could he say such a thing? What does he mean?
"This, it doesn't count even if we say it." Lin Nan could only deal with it this way.
"Director Lin, please help me with this. I don't need your support then, as long as I don't object."
Jackie Chan held up a glass of wine again and greeted Lin Nan.
Everyone in the industry knows that Lin Nan has a very important "discourse proportion" in this matter. After all, he is the first major director in the industry to propose "blocking"!
“I abstain?”
"Well, abstain. I will raise this matter when the time comes."
Ren Zhonglun interrupted abruptly and then looked at Lin Nan.
At this moment, Lin Nan felt very powerless. This is the circle of the film and television entertainment industry, this is the general environment, it is really like a bottomless quagmire!
Lin Nan closed his eyes and nodded, his voice slightly hoarse: "Okay, I agree."
What can he do? These two people just wanted him to remain silent instead of speaking out in support. Did Lin Nan want to refute them directly? Saying that I don't want to join in the same deeds with you, slap you in the face and throw a tantrum?
This is the entertainment industry!
When Jackie Chan and Ren Zhonglun heard this answer, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
For nearly an hour, the three of them exchanged cups and cups, and Jackie Chan kept a smile on his face.
It seems that the "little house" thing is destined to be solved easily.
At around 12 o'clock, almost 1 p.m., Lin Nan got into the driver's seat of the Ferrari. Ren Zhonglun and Jackie Chan watched him go away before returning to the box.
"Director Ren, thank you very much."
"It's still early. Take the time to meet Xiying and Ningying in the past few days. This is just the first step. I hope it will succeed this time. If not If it succeeds, then I will keep a low profile for a year and then hand it over to Shanghai Film Industry..."
Jackie Chan nodded. In exchange for asking Shanghai Film University for help, he will work with Shanghai Film University on film projects in the future. Stand together.
My company will invest in the movies he stars in.
From now on, Shanghai Film Group Corporation will have priority to participate in Jackie Chan's movies and even co-produce them... or even just the two of them...
...
After the car drove a few kilometers, Lin Nan became more and more panicked as she thought about it. It was so against her will and her conscience couldn’t bear it!
He parked the car on the side of the road, thinking about it, and an idea flashed in his mind:
"Huh? Although I agreed to abstain, not to speak or to object, I can still negotiate with La Dong said..."
Immediately, Lin Nan made a phone call.
"What do you want to see me for now? I'm a little busy this morning, and I'm having lunch now."
"Well, La Dong, there is something I need to tell you..."
Tong Gang also rose to the position of chairman of China Film Group Corporation, and Han Sanping, La Peikang and others are all direct descendants.
Since he is a direct descendant, he must firmly support his immediate boss and big brother’s permanent ban!
"...Okay, I understand. I will come when the time comes, and you don't have to get involved." La Peikang said in a bad tone.
"Okay, La Dong. Then I won't disturb your meal."
After making the call, Lin Nan felt much better.
"Handsome, do you have time for a cup of coffee?"
A young woman with light makeup and a good figure stood one meter away and struck up a conversation with Lin Nan. He didn't say anything. Just step on the accelerator and blast away.
“God bless me, don’t be photographed by the paparazzi...I have never experienced such gossip before, and I will be engaged the day after tomorrow...”
Lin Nan trembled and muttered, if word of this got out, his legs would be broken by Old Lintou...
