Chapter 688 Rejection, "The Great Wall"
Lin Nan asked back with a smile, making the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly become awkward.
"How can a director be scolded? Unless the movie made by this director is really a bad movie that is recognized by all the people!
But Director Lin is not that kind of director. Your reputation It has always been top-notch, both in terms of film quality and box office appeal,”
After a few seconds of dead silence, Dong Ping continued.
Xu Zheng also nodded in agreement. At that moment, he didn't know how to answer Lin Nan's words. Fortunately, Dong Ping did.
"Haha, although Lin Nan Pictures is not listed on the market, I also know clearly that after the director completes the filming of a movie, he needs to do publicity, marketing, and hype. Generally speaking, it means running, After all, it is also a commodity.
Does the director have the final say in the operation of a listed company? Not counting it! A listed company means capital, and capital will do whatever it takes. Ghost market, raking in box office, speculating on stock prices, and then harvesting...repeated operations.
How many listed companies can stick to their true intentions and avoid such operations that make money quickly? The public doesn’t know the inside story. They only remember the director, because they only go to the theater because of the great director!”
Lin Nan said he was tired and picked up the red wine on the table to moisten it! voice.
"Sissi, I'll be back soon, you have to drive."
"Yes, no problem."
Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, Lin Nan's words were so sharp!
There was complete silence at the dinner table.
Ning Hao and Xing Ai had expressionless faces, but there was something in their eyes.
Dong Ping and Xu Zheng, on the other hand, were speechless and a little speechless for a while.
If listed companies don’t do that, why should they go public? Learn from Huayi and go across industries to engage in real estate, finance, and the Internet?
Even if Huanxi wants to do this, how can he keep up if he starts so late?
The first film and television company to go public and try to take advantage of others is completely unmatched by the companies behind it.
What's more, Huanxi is still equivalent to a backdoor listing, while Huayi is a direct IPO. The gap in strength between the two is too huge!
"Director Lin's analysis is quite detailed. It seems that he has thought about the company's listing."
"If I don't understand clearly, how can I firmly not let Lin Nan Pictures go public?" You know, a lot of capital has extended an olive branch to me several years ago...including banks and Alibaba..."
Faced with Dong Ping's strange words, Lin Nan chose to confront him head-on. .
The joy that can be bought with 1 billion, the biggest capital is actually their "big director alliance system". The more big directors have shareholders, the greater their influence, the higher the market value, and the more they can harvest. Simple...
Lin Nan glanced at Ning Hao, who was a little silent. He can understand the other party's thoughts. After all, only by becoming a capital can one have the right to speak. Joy is Ning Hao's shortcut.
After the banquet, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei did not choose to stay any longer because today was not a pure gathering of friends. Ning Hao, Xing Aina and Xu Zheng sent them out of the door.
“Keep your heart.”
Lin Nan patted Ning Hao on the shoulder, and then got into the co-pilot.
"Well, don't worry. Will you go to the charity dinner later? See you then."
"Yeah."
"Director Lin, Yifei, see you another day."
Liu Yifei had already found a pair of her white shoes from the trunk and put them on, since she had to drive after all.
"Let's go, bye."
"Drive slowly, Yifei." Xing Aina reminded.
It wasn’t until the big black G drove out of everyone’s sight that Dong Ping walked out of the villa.
"I just went to the bathroom, why did Director Lin go back? I even said we wanted to chat for a while."
Everyone was aware of this perfunctory remark and didn't say anything.
"Since Lin Nan refused, let this matter end here. Don't bother him in the future." Ning Hao said.
"Okay, let's start with our three companies, and then continue to develop other great directors..." Dong Ping agreed decisively.
Xu Zheng followed behind and agreed. Today's result was beyond his expectation. He never expected that Lin Nan would refuse.
Looking at it this way, Ning Hao and Xing Aina guessed it right!
…………
The advertising of "Running Man" has almost been laid out like a carpet, and the interest of the entire Internet audience has been aroused by several promotional videos.
Looking at the film market, the most eye-catching films this month are Chen Kexin's "Dear" and Ning Hao's "The Love of the Heart" at the end of the month.
These two movies are only a few days away from their release.
Once October enters, the market will become more competitive.
Movies such as "Golden Age" and "Ruffian Hero 2" are all waiting during the National Day!
"On the 26th, the 'It doesn't matter' full moon wine; on the 27th, the Hundred Flowers Awards, it has nothing to do with us; on the 28th, the premiere of "Heart Blossoms"... Well, the latest one is the day after tomorrow. Bazaar..."
After Liu Yifei returned home, she sat at the door and began to count her schedule.
She doesn’t have much free time. She will most likely have to travel for a month in October for the promotion of "Interstellar".
Lin Nan was currently browsing the news on the Internet.
It seems that Wang Dadao is going to be like Huang Haibo, half a month later, another half year!
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the madam is only 18 years old. One against two, there are still two 30-year-olds...”
Lin Nan felt a little sympathetic to Xiying. After all, Director Wang is now the young director. Some great directors who sell Western movies a reputation are also directly related to them.
Liu Yifei's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang. It was a call from Hongxingwu.
"Take it for me." She shouted to Lin Nan.
"Hello?"
"Director Lin, Warner sent an email to the company. It is a very formal work email." "Forward it to me."
< br>
“Okay, Director Lin.”
"What's wrong?"
After a while, Liu Yifei asked doubtfully.
Lin Nan pretended to sigh, "Let's take a look at your latest work schedule, Princess Sissi."
"Ah? Is it from "Interstellar"?"
As she asked, Miss Liu walked over from the gate and took the tablet that Lin Nan handed her.
"No. 5? So fast!"
"Yes, it's No. 5." Lin Nan nodded and confirmed.
Starting from October 5th, Liu Yifei will have to follow Nolan, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain and others to promote the film.
Moreover, the promotion of the "Interstellar" crew will start in North America and Europe, and finally come to the mainland market in late October and early November.
“I can still play at home for half a month, don’t worry.”
Looking at Liu Yifei, who had a "sad face", Lin Nan smiled and comforted her.
"Well, that's all I can do. Come and help me, what should I wear the day after tomorrow?"
"Wear whatever you want, you will look good in anything you wear."
"Hey, I think so too."
…………
China Film, Chairman's Office.
"What's wrong with them?"
La Peikang asked the secretary angrily.
“That’s right, they crossed out Director Li An from the director list. They said that Director Li An is planning to make a war film and is seeking investment... and will not consider external films...”
"Huh? He still wants to attract investment? He still lacks investment? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing this, La Peikang was very happy. Isn’t it a joke that the Best Director Oscar lacks investment?
“I heard that the new movie is about the Iraq War, and no one from Hollywood voted for it.” The secretary also smiled.
"Hahaha, what do you mean by freedom? Isn't this a typical lack of freedom?"
La Peikang said with a smile, and nodded again: "In that case, Lin Nan is It’s the first one on the list.”
“La Dong, there is one more thing. Legend has sent me the complete script. They will bring it together early next month.”
Taking a few pages of A4 paper from the secretary's hand, La Peikang flipped through them, nodding from time to time.
""The Great Wall"? "The Great Wall"! What a great name. The only one with distinctive Chinese elements in the world."
La Peikang became more and more satisfied as he watched it. This is no better than Han Sanping The battles (achievements) when you were the head of the family were small, right? And it was completely shot from a Chinese perspective!
Thinking of Li An just now, La Peikang looked at his secretary, "Lin Nan doesn't have any movie plans recently, right? Don't miss it again."
"I haven't heard of it. Probably not. It’s time for public relations in Hollywood, and Director Lin won’t be distracted. Even if there is a new movie planned, it will most likely be next year.”
"That's good, that's good."
......
When La Peikang was talking about Lin Nan, the latter was answering Cao Baoping's call.
As expected of a senior professor in the system, he was always arrogant when asking about things.
"Do you think my film "Heart of the Burning Sun" will be able to successfully meet the audience?"
Lin Nan wanted to say it, but couldn't.
The schedule has been set. If he leaks the news, Cao Baoping will definitely withdraw the schedule and modify it temporarily.
The Children's Bureau strictly required confidentiality at that time, and even used the word "discipline".
Think about the administrative level of the General Administration. Who would dare to leak the contents of meetings in that kind of unit privately? Something big is going to happen!
"Teacher Cao, please don't make things difficult for me. The Children's Bureau said that the document will be officially issued before the National Day. That is at the end of this month, in a few days, please wait. Well, this Time does not require confidentiality!”
"Okay, you are quite strict! Then I will wait for another twelve days. In addition, the script of "The Murderer" can probably be given to you in December. Prepare the funds..."
< br>"This is absolutely no problem! Who doesn't know at Nortel that Professor Cao's scripts are not bad! Haha..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan began to sigh.
Although there are not many scenes of Huang Bo's good friend, the frontal scenes will definitely not appear and will most likely be cut out, because the cost of finding someone to reshoot is obviously higher.
With the influx of the Internet industry, the film and television industry seems to have been equipped with an engine, and publicity channels have suddenly exploded.
TV series began to talk about traffic, and the same goes for actors.
What is traffic, that is: appearance rate, topic volume, discussion, exposure...
As an entertaining charity dinner, Harper's Bazaar fits the criteria of "traffic" All requested!
Lin Nan can already predict that this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner will be special. There will definitely be a lot of "popular fried chicken"!
