Chapter 766 Ren Zhonglun’s assist
“Produced and produced by Lin Nan Pictures, with Enlight participating in the investment, the second season of the large-scale competitive reality show “Running Man” officially started recording this morning!”
"Resident guests Deng Chao, Reba, Chen He, Zhang Jin, Sha Yi, Zheng Kai and others warmly welcomed the new member Lu Han to join, and the seven people appeared in front of the camera."
"Spring Festival period The total box office of "Macau 2" exceeded 900 million in the two weeks of its release, showing its decline. It may be difficult to surpass the 1 billion box office mark. "
"The movie "The Hero" and "Wolf Totem" followed closely. Afterwards, they earned 710 million and 660 million box office respectively. The two films are also about to reach their potential.”
...
One night passed, and it was the Lantern Festival. The atmosphere of the Lunar New Year will also completely dissipate today.
Since the morning, online film and television entertainment information has been constantly refreshing, attracting the attention of countless insiders and netizens.
But there is no news at all about "Detective Chinatown" that many actors, artists, film and television agencies and agents are concerned about.
At eight o'clock sharp, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went out at the same time.
The former is going to the company because Enlight, Wanda, China Film and Shanghai Film will arrive before 11 o'clock; the latter is going to Enlight to participate in a promotional interview for "Wolf Warrior".
"Come back early in the afternoon, mom will prepare the Lantern Festival."
Liu Yifei was wearing a women's casual suit, with long hair and light makeup. She sat in the back seat of the Hongxingwu vehicle, lowered the window, and warned Lin Nan.
Director Lin was fastening his seat belt and still had some uneaten eggs in his hand. He nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, I will definitely be back earlier than you. Let's go quickly. , remember to treat Xie Nan to lunch.”
"Yeah, yeah, give me a video when you're free at noon."
Liu Yifei playfully made a phone call gesture, and then told the driver to drive.
After eating, Lin Nan set off.
He already has a plan in mind regarding the allocation of investment shares in "Detective Chinatown".
I just don’t know who the people from the four companies coming today will be? Especially China Film.
"It's impossible to cut down all at once..."
...
Since yesterday afternoon, Yue Jun has not been idle. Too many companies and agents in the industry came to him to inquire about "Detective Chinatown".
What can he say? I can only tell everyone that auditions and casting have not started yet, please wait for the news!
"Director Yue, Director Lin was surrounded by media reporters downstairs."
"Huh?"
To be honest, Lin Nan did not expect that there would be so many entertainment reporters squatting downstairs in the company.
Although there are usually two or three and no more than five, who would have thought that nearly twenty would appear today?
"Director Lin, when will "Detective Chinatown" be launched? Will there still be open auditions in the film and television industry? Or will it be by invitation?"
"As an in-service professor at Nortel, Will you be there for the preliminary exam tomorrow?”
"How confident are you about directing the comedy film "Detective Chinatown" for the first time? What are your expectations at the box office..."
...
Lin Nan with the help of security , squeezed into the company building with difficulty.
"Director Lin, you didn't expect that, did you? This is the treatment you received for your first domestic commercial film after winning the Golden Ball, Golden Bear and Oscar in succession! The most important thing is that it is far from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" "It has been a year since the release of "
Yue Jun joked with Lin Nan, who was also shocked when he came in the morning. The news only came out yesterday afternoon. Unexpectedly, the media went crazy this morning.
Lin Nan nodded silently, not expecting it.
"Give them some red envelopes and send them away. The Guangguang family will be here soon."
Hearing this, Yue Jun suddenly became more serious, "Well, I'll let them go right away. Do it.”
Lin Nan didn’t go back to the office, but went to the Tiangong Color floors.
Wu Ershan is still working overtime to follow up on the later stages of "Searching for the Dragon", and the special effects team dedicated to this project is even more busy.
"How long will it take?"
Lin Nan's voice sounded, attracting the attention of many people.
Wu Ershan raised his head and adjusted his glasses, "By the end of this month, we should be able to complete the preliminary editing. The final editing can only be done after all the special effects are finished."
"How long will it take for the special effects?"
"Director Lin, it will not be until the middle of next month at the earliest. We can guarantee that all the special effects of "The Secret of the Dragon" will be completed before the end of next month." The project leader hurriedly replied road.
Lin Nan is very satisfied with this progress.
“This big IP movie will be put in the Lunar New Year period.”
Hearing this, the entire "Search for the Dragon" special effects team members were all excited.
Director Lin can say that it is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year, which means that he is very optimistic about the box office potential of "The Secret of the Dragon"! At the same time, it also means that everyone’s bonus may be doubled several times!
"Director Lin, what's the Lunar New Year holiday?" Wu Ershan was also a little excited.
"Well, this year's Lunar New Year festival will be very lively. By then, the film industry will also be very surprised."
Lin Nan meant something. Having already been to the Spring Festival stall, he wanted to go to the Lunar New Year stall this time.
"Director Lin, Director Wang is here."
"Well, take it to my office... No, take it to the small reception room on the third floor."
"Okay. , Director Lin.”
Five minutes later, Lin Nan met Wang Changtian on the third floor.
The latter was seen crossing his legs, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside the window.
“I rarely come to your company, it’s much more lively than mine.”
“My place is a pure production company, and Lin Nan Pictures, Tiangong Color, Shanhai Media is in the same building, so there must be more people than Guangguang."
Lin Nan sat opposite Wang Changtian, also looking at the greenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Give me 20% light this time." Suddenly, Lin Nan said.
“I thought I could give you more. Isn’t it still so low?”
“It’s not low this time and there will be Shanghai Film Group.”
Hearing this, Wang Changtian immediately looked at Lin Nan, very surprised: "You, you let Shang Ying in?"
"Yes."
"Five companies, give me 20%? You can't just take 20%! Which company did you cut?"
Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan in disbelief. In fact, he had already guessed it.
He originally thought that there would be only a small change, but he didn't expect that it had already reached this stage!
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "Director Wang will take the initiative to report later."
"Okay."
Wang Changtian came early, running over at half past nine. So much so that the two of them chatted and waited in the reception room for a long time.
Ye Ning arrived at early ten o'clock. After a series of shocks, he didn't think too much.
Neither Wang Changtian nor Ye Ning mentioned the golden rooster, but they were just "looking forward" to whether it would be awkward when everyone sat together to allocate the shares.
At around 10:30, Ye Ning suddenly shouted, startling the two people beside him:
“They are coming!”
Lin Nan and Wang Changtian looked at the two cars arriving one after another downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Downstairs, it’s very lively.
"Ren...Dong?"
La Peikang's secretary saw Ren Zhonglun the moment he got off the car, and subconsciously shouted softly.
“Your boss didn’t come today?” Ren Zhonglun was in a good mood and took the initiative to say hello and ask.
"La Dong is busy."
The secretary did not lie, La Peikang was indeed meeting with Huayi and LeTV to discuss the release of "The Other Side".
"Okay, let's go in. I was looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Dong, today, haha..."
After Ren Zhonglun finished speaking, he strode into Lin Nan Pictures .
At this time, La Peikang's secretary was already a little late-minded. He took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back.
When the leaders are having a meeting, the phone cannot be reached. Besides, there's no point in calling now.
Originally La Peikang was planning to come in person, but the matter of "The Other Side" was decided several days in advance. At the same time, this film was also the most troublesome project for China Film Group... In the end , La Peikang could only send his secretary to Lin Nan Pictures.
……
The atmosphere in the small reception room on the third floor is a bit weird.
Wang Changtian and Ye Ning greeted Ren Zhonglun with smiles and chatted enthusiastically.
We haven’t sat together and talked about cooperation for several years. Now we are collaborating again after five or six years, and it feels like things are different. After all, Han Sanping has already retreated!
“It’s almost time to reminisce, let’s start?” Ren Zhonglun smiled.
“Then let’s talk about business.”
Wang Changtian and Ye Ning nodded in agreement, as did La Peikang’s secretary.
Several people looked at Lin Nan, waiting for the accuser to decide their share first.
"The documents in everyone's hands have been clearly listed. The budget this time is 120 million. Lin Nan Pictures takes 30%, the same as in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."
"You can give it to SIPG's share."
Ren Zhonglun was the second to speak. Wang Changtian and Ye Ning had no objections, as did the people from China Film. Why didn't La Peikang come in person?
“15%.” Lin Nan said directly.
In the eyes of everyone, Ren Zhonglun nodded happily.
Now, the people from China Film Group are no longer calm.
Ren Zhonglun actually agreed? So what should China Film Group do? When I came here, La Dong ordered that it should not be less than 25%! Directly 10% more than Shanghai Film Industry? Can this be done?
"China Film, 25%?" the secretary said hesitantly.
“Is that too much? Why is China Film 10% more than Shanghai Film?”
Ren Zhonglun's voice was very soft and he said with a smile, but his tone was not soft. He knows very well where Shanghai Film’s share comes from!
"Then, China Film is just like Film and Television, both are state-owned enterprises."
"Director Lin, this?"
"This is my first time directing a comedy. It’s hard to say whether the movie will succeed or not. It’s better for the two state-owned enterprises to be more conservative. After all, it’s the country’s money.”
The secretary heard it, and Lin Nan made up his mind.
"Then, just listen to Director Lin!"
"Light, 20%."
"Wanda, 20%."
Wang Changtian and Ye Ning looked at each other One glance, and they said in unison.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, and the people from China Film Group could no longer sit still.
"Director Lin, Director Ren, Director Wang, and Mr. Ye. Now that the share has been decided, I'll take my leave. Director La, I still have a lot of work to do."
"Well, I won't waste your time. Director Yue, please send me off."
"Okay."
In a blink of an eye, there were only 4 people left in the reception room.
"Shanghai Film has obtained 15% of the share from China Film, which is quite a lot. Lin Nan, I will leave first and have booked a flight for after 12 o'clock."
Ren Zhonglun stood up. He took the initiative to help suppress the people of China Film Group today, and he did so intentionally. He had even prepared to face off against La Peikang.
“I also said that we should all have dinner together at noon.” Lin Nan also smiled and stood up, ready to send them off.
“I’m not going to eat anymore. I’m going back.” Wang Changtian stretched his waist.
“Together.”
The four of them went all the way downstairs. Ren Zhonglun and Ye Ning got in the car and waved away one after another. Only Wang Changtian waited for a while.
"Today's matter, is there no problem?"
"Dr. Wang is referring to China Film Group?"
"Nonsense."
"That's it. You don't complain often China Film Group gets a lot, but it actually doesn’t do much? It doesn’t have the light and dedication to publicity, and it can’t be as protective as Wanda in film planning, haha..."
Lin Nan joked with Wang Changtian, and then became more serious:
"From now on, it will all be like this. There is still a distinction between closeness and distance. In the second half of this year, Tudou will start financing. The three of us are complementary allies, and we can even form a closed loop."
"Okay!"
Wang Changtian couldn't help shouting.
…………
China Film.
"... "The Other Side" will be put on the summer schedule. If it is moved to other schedules, the box office will be worse due to the impact of the first film's reputation..."
A huge investment blockbuster, a loss. In this way, we have to discuss the second half together. Wang Zhonglei and others are more frustrated than the other.
"Then let's do the summer season." La Peikang said.
……
China Film, Chairman’s Office.
Looking at the secretary who hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, La Peikang asked with a smile and some expectation: "Have we negotiated? How many are we?"
The secretary opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
At this time, La Peikang noticed something strange, "What's wrong? Tell me."
"La Dong, I met Director Ren at Lin Nan Pictures today."
“What? Ren Zhonglun?”
La Peikang sat up straight in an instant, his expression quite gloomy.
"Yes, "Detective Chinatown" is available in Shanghai."
"How many did we get?" La Peikang asked sharply, already having a bad feeling in his heart.
"Yes, 15%. Director Ren asked Director Lin to look at it...and then...finally..."
The secretary rambled on about the scene, and La Peikang frowned. , his face is getting worse and worse.
After a long time, there was dead silence in the office.
"He is openly expressing his dissatisfaction and doing it to me openly..."
La Peikang's voice was very low and his emotions could not be heard.
Because Shanghai Film Group Co., Ltd. backed down from the production of "Painted Skin 2", Han Sanping took the opportunity to "squeeze it out" for 5 years... Then it came back because of the Golden Rooster incident... It was replaced by China Film Group Corporation, and its share was cut off...< br>
…………
Afternoon.
An announcement about the Golden Rooster Awards caused the entire film and television industry to immediately become confused and talk about it.
