Chapter 674 Objection
In the domestic film and television industry, there are many people in the Beijing circle, and Huayi is not the only one.
But Huayi is the leader in the film and television industry in Beijing and the only large listed company.
Its market value has officially exceeded 45 billion recently!
As for why Xu Ke brought people to Zhou Xingchi today and not someone else? The reason is still because of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
Because of the lawsuit between Zhou Xingchi and Hua Yi, the two sides had a great grudge, and the latter was a core member of the Beijing circle.
Xu Ke himself has a film contract with Hua Yi, namely the "Detective Dee" series, and their relationship has been very good in recent years.
Wu Yifan, who has been recruited by Beijing Circle, wants to get access to the top resource of "Mermaid".
Then only Xu Ke, a great director who has done well in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, can be the middleman and lobbyist.
The most important point is that Wang Zhonglei analyzed that with Zhou Xingchi's money-loving character, he most likely would not mind the fact that Wu Yifan was in the Beijing circle.
After all, the Beijing circle is not equal to Huayi, and with Xu Ke lobbying from the side, it is very likely that Wu Yifan will get the opportunity to successfully gilt!
Seeing that Zhou Xingchi had not yet agreed, Xu Ke waved to his female assistant, "Go and bring this person over."
Then, he looked at Zhou Xingchi again, "You go first When you meet him, he is a very handsome young man, no worse than you were back then, haha..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but smile. Flattery, no one likes to hear it, especially on the outside.
Downstairs, Han Jianu, Zhang Yuqi, and Deng Chao also saw Wu Yifan, mother and son, and the accompanying assistant. They were nothing but surprised.
Everyone knows that this person is most likely here to get a role, not to audition.
Because according to Zhou Xingchi’s character, he generally won’t take the initiative to use good-looking new male artists. For his movies, the new actors are all weird-looking actors or beautiful star girls.
The three of them did not say hello to each other because they were not familiar with each other.
However, Wu Yifan's mother was very shrewd and took the initiative to take her son to greet the three of them, especially Han Jianu.
After all, Han Sanping's daughter and Lin Nan's junior sister are also famous in the industry.
"Ms. Wu, Director Xu, please come up."
Xu Ke's assistant shouted from a distance.
"Oh, okay. Fanfan, let's go."
The three people who were about to get in the car looked over subconsciously.
“Director Xu Ke?”
"Well, it's him. I've seen this assistant at my dad's place before, right next to Director Xu Ke. Unexpectedly, he's still a mistress."
Han Jianu smacked her lips. said with fearless disdain.
Deng Chao and Zhang Yuqi looked at each other. They were worthy of being Han Dong’s daughter. They were incomparable.
......
Upstairs, Wu Yifan's biological mother introduced her son's "excellence" to Zhou Xingchi with a flattering smile.
The leader of Team EXO~M debuted, and has fans all over Southeast Asia. He has been obedient since he was a child, and he is a trainee who can endure hardships and stand hard work when he debuts...
In Zhou Xingchi's eyes, the woman in front of him seemed to be selling a product.
However, it can be heard that this product does have some value and can attract many "young fans" to become viewers and movie fans.
"Can you act? How are your acting skills?" Zhou Xingchi asked.
But as soon as he asked this question, he regretted it. How could he have acting skills?
"Acting skills? It is said outside that newcomers who are not from a professional background can turn decay into magic in your hands. It just requires training and training. It should be very simple to tailor a guest role with a few minutes of footage, and there is no need for a paycheck. ..."
Xu Ke said good things at the right time, and he will also make a cameo appearance in "Mermaid".
Mother Wu said nothing, a little embarrassed, but the smile on her face did not break.
"You two can go back. I'll think about it and will give Director Xu a reply later."
Zhou Xingchi's cold voice made Mother Wu's smile freeze, but she covered it up in an instant. Go over and nod with a smile:
"Okay, then Director Zhou and Director Xu, I will take Fanfan and leave first..."
Pulling her unresponsive son, Mother Wu left the room.
"This Ms. Wu is very controlling and shrewd; this Wu Yifan is a bit, how to describe it, like a puppet...not accurate, like..."
Short In just ten minutes, Zhou Xingchi used his professional knowledge as an actor and director to profile Wu Yifan and his son.
"Haha, his mother is his manager. It is understandable that he is a bit controlling. After all, he grew up in a single-parent family."
Xu Ke tried to use "single-parent family" to win Zhou Xingchi's sympathy, but the latter still shook his head.
“No?”
Xu Ke asked in disbelief. In his opinion, Zhou Xingchi would definitely not reject him! But why are you shaking your head?
"Director Xu, it's not impossible. If you bring someone to audition, I will give him an audition even if I am off work or on rest.
But you want me to give him an audition directly. To give a role to a person with no acting skills, and to create a character alone, even if it is only a few minutes of filming, this has to be discussed with several other investors
China Film, Lin Nan Pictures and Shanghai Film Group promised not to interfere in casting, but this is not the case. This has changed the script! ”
Zhou Xingchi actually wanted to promise Xu Ke that he would accept any method that would help the box office.
But the contract was clearly written. If the movie forcibly blocked people or changed the script , you must obtain the consent of more than half of the investors.
“Then, just ask them for their opinions. I don't think they would object. "Xu Ke said.
…………
Lin Nan was in for a treat. There were many dresses and skirts that Liu Yifei didn't usually wear, and she tried them on one by one today. They were very eye-catching.
As for which one she chose to wear at the engagement party tomorrow, she actually kept it a secret from Lin Nan. Okay, keep it a secret.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the school called.
The registration time for Nortel’s new academic year is August 30th. Lin Nan’s information will be posted on the school’s official website on the morning of September 1st. At the same time, that day was also the opening ceremony.
The intention of the Film School is to allow Lin Nan to attend the opening ceremony together and speak as an outstanding alumni, graduate, international director, and associate professor.
This was so generous that Lin Nan was embarrassed to shirk it and immediately nodded in agreement.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were walking their dogs on the lawn. Just as Lin Nan was about to go there, the call came.
"Zhou Xingchi? Is it a matter of casting or audition?" He muttered and answered the phone: "Director Zhou? Is the casting over or the audition is about to reach the final?"
Zhou Xingchi had previously said hello that he would invite Lin Nan, La Peikang and others to watch the finals.
"Haha, Director Lin. The audition finals will be on the 16th next month. Then, Director Lin, remember to leave time to come over."
"Yes, no problem."
"There is one more thing , Director Xu Ke recommended a very popular artist to me. I hope that a few minutes of guest appearance will definitely help the movie’s box office... I’ll ask Director Lin for his opinion. Later, there will be China Film and Shanghai Film. Opinions."
"Recommended?"
Lin Nan immediately thought of a few other words: "Serby" and "Gold-plated"!
"Stuffed...who is the person recommended?"
"It is said that he came back from South Korea. He is a very popular idol artist named Wu Yifan. I just asked someone to check it. It is indeed very popular among young fans. There are so many. "
Nah, Lin Nan almost cursed when he heard Zhou Xingchi's name. These people in Beijing really spare no effort!
Agree? Nonsense, Lin Nan definitely disagrees!
He invested 30%, why should he let people from the Beijing circle do gold plating?
"Director Zhou, I think an artist who started out as a trainee should have no acting skills, right?
So I object. Or you think he is extremely talented and a born actor. Well, like Xun "Brother."
Lin Nan declined politely, but in a firm tone.
"Then...then, Director Lin is sure that's what he means, do you object?"
"Yes, I object."
"Okay, I'll ask China Film and Shanghai Film and Television to see what their opinions are."
Hearing this, Lin Nan knew that Zhou Xingchi wanted to keep Wu Yifan.
"Director Zhou, when you talk to La Dong, please convey my opinions and attitude to him." Lin Nan warned.
Although Zhou Xingchi didn't understand what Lin Nan meant for a while, he still agreed, "Yes, I will."
Lin Nan was very confident, and he still liked La Peikang Those who have cognition, the latter also has a good relationship with him and belongs to his own people.
But compared with Han Sanping, La Peikang was not decisive enough, bold enough, domineering enough, and not aggressive enough.
But there are gains when there are losses. Compared to Han Sanping, La Peikang is more cautious. The most important thing is that he can listen to Lin Nan's suggestions and opinions.
Unlike Mr. Han, when Lin Nan said "Tai Ping Wheel" was rubbish, he would still pounce on it; when he said "Tai Chi Man" was not good, he would still do it... Lin Nan made money by leading China Film Group At the box office, he can make losses with his back foot, and he never tires of it!
……
I’m confused!
Zhou Xingchi was confused, and so was Xu Ke beside him.
After Shangying agreed, Zhou Xingchi called La Peikang. Both of them were very confident.
But the conversation was going well until La Dong heard Zhou Xingchi say that Lin Nan objected. He hesitated for three seconds and immediately objected without any discussion!
“How much share do the two of them have together?” Xu Ke subconsciously asked Zhou Xingchi.
“50%.”
Xu Ke was silent. Supposing Wu Yifan to join the crew of "Mermaid" is a very small matter.
But on this small matter, La Peikang actually chose to take sides and follow Lin Nan? !
So now you want to get rid of Lin Nan? Is it possible? I'm afraid it will be difficult!
Because everyone in the circle knows that Lin Nan is the type who is easy to talk but also very difficult to talk to.
Once I have a good relationship with you, I can do whatever I want. I won’t have any problem inserting people into his movies.
But if the conversation is unfamiliar, unfamiliar, or you already have an attitude, it will be really difficult to handle.
In this case, Lin Nan would not give anyone any face, but he still has such confidence and strength!
"Director Xu, that's it. I'm a hindsight and know why Director Lin asked me to tell La Dong what he meant."
Zhou Xingchi shook his head gently. . He is just an idol artist who started out as a trainee. No matter how popular he is, he is still just an artist. Can he be compared with Lin Nan Pictures and China Film?
"Well, okay. You rest, I will go back first."
"Yeah."
......
"He didn't agree? Did he know it was Hua Yi's idea?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
"No, it was Director Lin and China Film Group who objected."
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment. After a while, Wang Zhonglei said in a low voice: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Xu."< br>
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhonglei lost his face instantly.
“After all calculations, I didn’t expect that something went wrong between Lin Nan and China Film Group. China Film Group? How could Mr. Lao pay attention to such trivial matters?”
“Since it didn’t succeed, then Just let him come back. See Guan Fu, "Lao Pao'er" is about to start a project."
......
Since so many relatives have moved into the two villas, Lin Nan He and Liu Yifei suddenly became more honest.
I spend the evening video chatting with my cell phone, which is really uncomfortable.
“After the engagement banquet is over tomorrow, it is estimated that all the elders will not be able to stay long. By then...”
“Hey, what nonsense are you thinking about again?”
Across the screen, Liu Yifei said angrily, luckily Shu Chang was taking a shower and wasn't around.
"I didn't think anything of it. I just thought the clothes you tried on in the afternoon were very beautiful. I want to show them to you one day. Well, the best is in the evening..."
"It's a beautiful idea... I'll see how you do tomorrow."
