Chapter 702 "Chinatown..."
After 5 months, the entertainment industry has once again seen what a "superstar" in the new era is and what "fan appeal" is!
Following Wu Yifan’s return to China in mid-May, the second member of Asia’s top popular boy group EXO has sued SM Entertainment.
He also left without saying goodbye, still "escaping" back to China, and then filed a lawsuit in Seoul on the grounds of limited personal health and development.
The content of the appeal is exactly the same, that is, the exclusive agency contract with SM Entertainment is invalid and requires unconditional termination. Almost copied Wu Yifan's "breakup mode"!
Just a Weibo post of "I'm home" made tens of millions of fans go crazy. Weibo's hot searches went straight to the top of the list, and the topic traffic was eye-popping.
Even Weibo’s server is running at full capacity! You can imagine how popular he is and how huge his fan market is!
As soon as the news spread, the domestic entertainment circle was shocked and the media was in an uproar.
Film and television companies, entertainment companies, and brokerage companies in the industry are looking sideways, with green eyes, ready to offer olive branches.
The treatment that Wu Yifan enjoyed at the beginning has not been reduced at all by Lu Han, or even more!
Because the industry has proven the market value of the former, the latter is self-evident.
Lu Han is also an "idol superstar" in the fan market, an unparalleled favorite!
Old people and first-line stars in the domestic film and television industry are all lamenting and envying the huge fan market size and amazing fan appeal of these "young people".
Because in the film and television entertainment industry, there is a market where there is a niche. This is an iron rule in the film and television entertainment industry in the Internet era.
As expected, there will be another top-tier idol star in his twenties in the industry!
"SM Entertainment is also miserable. It dominates the South Korean entertainment industry, but those who are 'disobedient' are ethnic Chinese and Chinese. They can't afford to offend them because they have the backing of the mainland market and the country, haha."
Yue Jun There is nothing wrong with this. The unspoken rules in the entertainment industry in South Korea are even worse. There is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't play with.
But they don’t dare to exploit foreign artists too much, because if something happens, the impact will be huge.
“Nowadays, everything is about traffic, and his traffic is really scary. I am afraid he will dominate the list on Weibo for several days, and the hot search will also last ten and a half months, right?”
Lin Nan said with interest.
"By the way, Wu Ershan is working in Tiangong Color right now?"
"Yes. The team has determined that the post-editing and special effects production of "The Secret of the Dragon" will take at least half a year.
Since Huang Xiaoming and others had a lot of announcements, the closing party was cancelled. Therefore, Director Wu Ershan came to the company early this morning and has already started to get busy.”
“Well, let’s get started. That’s good. It will probably be released in the second half of next year.”
Lin Nan has no objections to the post-production time of more than half a year.
"The Secret of the Dragon" is originally a special effects movie. The weird and unpredictable special effects shots and pictures under the bizarre background story are its biggest selling points.
The quality of the finished film must not be perfunctory to the audience, otherwise it will waste the big IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The result must be that Lin Nan Films was besieged and abused by a large number of fans!
So in post-production, it is completely necessary and appropriate to spend more time and energy to achieve the highest quality possible.
......
Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" was officially released today. Many domestic movies are facing a major enemy and have been affected.
However, according to the data from the theaters, the film schedule rate of "Heart Blossom Road" has not been reduced too much, and it still maintains a share of just over 20%.
The 1 billion box office threshold will definitely not be able to stop "Beautiful Heart". As for whether it will reach more than one billion in the end? All we can do is do our best and obey fate. Anyway, 2 billion is definitely useless!
Sure enough, near noon, Ning Hao called in a hurry. The meaning is very simple, let Lin Nan quickly help shout and promote it.
After all, it is a movie invested and co-produced by himself, so of course Lin Nan will not refuse.
However, after he posted on Weibo and waved the flag, he suddenly noticed the promotional release from the Tang Dynasty. Hu Ge and others were retweeting and promoting it.
"Starring Liu Shishi, a famous actor and one of the Four Little Actresses, the Sino-Japanese co-production film "Five Minutes Before Midnight" will be released in China on the 23rd..."
"Liu Shishi, the first sister of the Tang Dynasty" , appeared on the international stage for the first time, and joined hands with Japanese directors and actors to appear at the Busan International Film Festival..."
...
To be honest, for Tang people's "hard work" and " Lin Nan recognizes the spirit of “praising the first sister”.
Is it just a Sino-Japanese co-production? It sounds like there is no desire.
Moreover, a good island country drama movie is not something that the first sister of Tang Dynasty can support. Her acting skills are just mediocre.
……
Zhang Yimou Studio.
Looking at the equity transfer contract in front of him, Lao Mouzi showed a rare smile.
After sixteen years of cooperation with Zhang Weiping, the other party has not been as generous as LeTV this time!
"Director Zhang, as long as you take over "The Great Wall", this equity transfer agreement with an additional 50% will be signed by both of us immediately, effective and public. And the price you need to pay is only the lowest internal price.
You must know that Director Lin Nan only received 8 million shares of Huayi, but the market valuation was hundreds of millions! Once LeTV Pictures is listed, its market value will definitely not be lower than Huayi! ”
When Zhang Zhao came over yesterday, he didn't bring any "chips", so he didn't make a decision.
After going back, he discussed it with Jia Yueting, so he came here again today with the equity agreement.
Zhang Yimou did not answer, but turned over the contract in front of him.
For the past thirty years, he had been making movies without thinking too much about it. Now at this age, although I still have good energy, I can't just think about movies. Times have long been different. The incident with Zhang Weiping taught him that money is also a very important thing.
"One thousand..." "How about this number? Once LeTV Pictures is listed, Director Zhang's stock will be worth at least hundreds of millions, or even more than one billion! This is also what we promised when Director Zhang signed with LeTV. One of the conditions, that is, the allotment of shares, is now superimposed."
Seeing that number, Zhang Yimou was really moved.
He closed the agreement in his hand, as if making a major decision, and finally nodded.
"Mr. Zhang, you can reply to China Film. I am willing to take over the directorship of "The Great Wall". I hope that China Film, Legendary and Universal Pictures can provide all the support they should have."
Hearing from the old Zhang Zhao was overjoyed at Mouzi's words.
Zhang Yimou agreed, which means that LeTV can get the investment share of "The Great Wall" and the domestic distribution business.
The valuation of LeTV Pictures and the stock price of parent company LeTV will also rise accordingly!
"Okay, Director Zhang can find a lawyer and check the contract carefully. We will sign it today."
Zhang Zhao said excitedly, while Zhang Yimou nodded with a smile on his face.
At the same time, the former was also mocking Lin Nan in his heart:
“There is something wrong with my brain. As La Dong’s first choice for director, I gave up such a big cake! Haha. But it’s good to give up! If you don’t give up, where will the opportunity be for LeTV?”
…………
Put the script outline of "Pacific Rim 2" in the safe, Lin Nan paused.
He pulled out a manuscript from the pile of outlines inside.
""Detective Chinatown"... I have been working on "Pacific Rim 2" a bit too hard these two days. I will find time to improve it later. I will be very busy at the end of the year, and I don't know if there will be one in the first half of next year. What about the time? It has to be calculated, and it has to be staggered before and after the wedding..."
Just as Lin Nan was muttering, the phone on the desk suddenly buzzed.
He put the script outline of "Detective Chinatown" back into the safe and closed it immediately. Then he answered the phone happily, because it was Liu Yifei who called back.
“Are you resting now?” Lin Nan looked at his watch, it was two thirty in the afternoon.
"Well, the press conference just ended an hour ago. Guess what I'm doing now?"
Miss Liu's clear voice came, with a playful tone.
"How did I know? In the hotel? Shopping? Are you planning to return home early?"
"Yeah, Director Lin guessed it right, but there is no reward. I'm going to the airport In the car, hehe..."
Lin Nan was really confused now.
He remembered that Liu Yifei’s October itinerary did not include China? Unless I finish the promotion, I will come back early at the end of October.
"You didn't fool me, did you? The actor who cheated the director will be punished when he comes back!"
"Hey, who is afraid of whom."
Listen to Liu Yifei With her arrogant tone, Lin Nan could think of her little expression at this time.
Definitely with arms folded across chest or hips, arrogantly rolling eyes at people, or squinting!
"Our next stop was originally the Busan Film Festival, but Warner felt it was too noisy there, so we changed our itinerary to Hong Kong Island. But the schedule was very busy and we didn't have time to go home again."
"Hong Kong Island? ”
Hearing this location, Lin Nan couldn’t help but frowned. The past two days have not been peaceful on Hong Kong Island.
“Look at the news over there for a while. It’s been a bit chaotic recently. Many Hong Kong artists have made speeches without thinking. Even Jackie Chan’s normal appeal to speak has been criticized.
When the crew goes to promote, you must not be fooled by some reporters, especially the past few days," Lin Nan warned Liu Yifei seriously.
"Haha, Director Lin, you underestimate me! I have been much more stable than you in my public speeches over the years!"
Miss Liu replied unconvinced. Only then did Lin Nan realize that Liu Yifei seemed to be more stable and had an overall view of the situation than him in public. Is this also due to differences in family background? !
"Okay, you are more stable than me."
"That's about right, hehe."
…………
Deng Chao, Reba, Wang Baoqiang, Chen He, Zhang Jin, Sha Yi, Zheng Kai and many others are forwarding Blueberry Channel’s information about the official launch of the first season of “Running Man” tonight. Countless fans responded to the news. Interactive message.
It has been eight months since the project of "Running Man" was established and made public at the beginning of the year, and now it will be broadcast in just a few hours!
Relevant topics and discussions on the Internet have also reached their peak at this moment.
The domestic version of "Running Man" is undoubtedly a handful at the top of mainland variety shows.
Countless pairs of eyes from colleagues in the industry are staring at it. We just have to "weigh" the weight of "Running Man" tonight to see what Lin Nan Pictures and Guangguang have come up with?
The joint announcement from LeTV Pictures and Zhang Yimou Studio came out suddenly, catching the entire industry off guard.
Everyone’s first reaction was: From now on, LeTV will completely tie Zhang Yimou to death! Just like the relationship between Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang, their interests are deeply tied!
Lin Nan glanced at the news and couldn't help but sigh, "Director Zhang..."
...
I will never understand those "well-intentioned suggestions" The author is finished"!
