Chapter 828: Wang Baoqiang, who crosses the industry, and his agent Song Shihe
"Produced by Xinli and adapted from the popular online novel of the same name, the movie "The Legend of Wukong" was filed and announced this morning."
"Top The IP film "The Legend of Wukong" has officially announced that the core starring actors Peng Yuyan and Yu Wenle have been confirmed; the remaining actors are currently auditioning and the film is expected to be officially launched in October. "
" Director Feng Xiaogang expressed support on Weibo. Director Chen Kaige: It is afternoon in Los Angeles time, the sky is blue and the sunshine is clean. I am located on the top of the mountain with a macro view;
I suddenly remembered what Director Kaige said in an interview, 'How many things can we directors decide? ? Not much, but we have to shoulder the blame! I hope the audience will understand and be tolerant. "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is great and not easy. Support it."
...
In the office, Lin Nan was talking on the phone and browsing news on the Internet.
On a new day, the Rays have also joined the army of suspensions.
Lin Nan couldn't help but joke with Wang Changtian: "Director Wang, why don't you let me copy the bottom later? What do you think?"
On the other end of the phone When Wang Changtian heard this, he suddenly lost his good temper:
"The wool has come to me? Are you short of these three melons and two dates? Are you sure you can get back to more than 5,000 points? Are you trying to ridicule me?"
Okay, what Lao Wang said It makes sense.
Given Big A’s urinary temperament, he would only go for one bear to the end. Lin Nan really didn’t have the need to spend a lot of money to buy Guangguang stock at the bottom, and he didn’t lack that little money.
“I’m joking with you, can’t you hear me? Besides, the common stocks in the secondary market are not attractive to me, right?
But the original shares of the Rays, I like them Interested. What do you think, Mr. Wang?”
Lin Nan pretended to have a meaningful tone and "hinted" Wang Changtian.
"Haha. Okay, let's come out and talk now."
Director Lin is confused now, really?
"Director Wang, are you sure?"
"I will be the host at noon and have a project. Would you like to come over and take a look? They are all acquaintances."
Good guy, Lin Nan said that Wang Changtian would never call to complain about the stock market. Sure enough, he had other intentions!
"Okay, it just so happens that Yifei also made an announcement today and is not at home."
"If Yifei didn't make an announcement, do you still have to report it?" Lao Wang teased with interest. Lin Nan got up.
"Yeah, almost. After the report, shall I take her with me?"
"You, you are really good at it. You understand how husband and wife get along at a young age."
< br>
"Dr. Wang, thank you. I learned all these valuable experiences from Director Ning's lessons, hahaha..."
...
Just after 11 o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan I left the company on time and went to the dinner.
Liu Yifei is attending a jewelry exhibition, and there is a luncheon arranged there.
While answering Lin Nan's call, many people in the surrounding circle couldn't help but cast their eyes on Miss Liu.
After hanging up, Zhou Xun and others started to play and joke for a while: "You're actually reporting for it? You're really going to get married soon, tsk tsk tsk, I'm so envious!"
"No, that's nonsense. Just asking me for details. Location, maybe we can stop by and have a look."
Liu Yifei was smiling, her mood was written on her face, and she was duplicitous.
At almost 12 o'clock, Lin Nan arrived at his destination - a high-end Chinese restaurant. Well, privacy seems pretty good.
He took his assistant and followed the waiter into the elevator all the way to the 16th floor.
At the door of the elegantly decorated private room, a man and a woman were giving instructions to people in the restaurant.
One is Wang Changtian's female secretary, and the other is...
When he saw Lin Nan and his assistant, Wang Changtian's secretary suddenly smiled: "Director Lin , please come in, Director Wang and the others are here."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, passing by, and a voice came from behind: "The food can be served now."
The moment he stepped into the box door, Lin Nan saw the people sitting inside.
There are really a few acquaintances!
"Lin Nan, I arrived a long time ago and I'm waiting for you."
"Director Lin, I'm sorry to bother you, please sit here."
" Director Lin."
"Director Lin."
"Hello, Director Lin."
The voices that came to me were Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang, followed closely by the greetings from others.
Such as the head of the Guangguang marketing department, people from the production department, Liu Yan, and Wang Baoqiang’s... wife.
“I was worried that I would have to eat lunch alone in the office today. Director Wang’s call came at the right time.”
Lin Nan smiled and sat down between Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang. Everyone has also sat down; as for the assistants and secretaries, they all stay outside...
Ten minutes later, several waiters pushed the dining carts in one after another, served food, arranged the dishes, and left in one go.
No matter what the topic is at the dinner table, it will be very easy to start, and it is no different now.
In early February 2013, Raytheon released a strategic document, the "Rayway - Actors - New Director Plan".
This document aims to make up for the disadvantages of light in directing and to cultivate film directors based on light.
The current Deng Chao and Director Deng are the beneficiaries of this "New Director Project".
Today's dinner is related to the "Guangguang-Actor-New Director Project", which was prepared by Guangwang for Wang Baoqiang; of course, it was also prepared for Lin Nan.
Just like Deng Chao's original "The Breakup Master", Lao Wang was very optimistic about Wang Baoqiang's debut film director and wanted to invite Lin Nan to join him. "Nowadays, whether it is a live-action movie or an animated movie, as long as it has the theme of 'Journey to the West', it is extremely popular.
Shiyue Culture, a subsidiary of Tiangong Colors, the "Journey to the West" movie "The Return of the Saint" has only been released for 9 days, and the box office has exceeded 600 million, right? The reputation is even more explosive..."
Wang Changtian said confidently, and at the same time, he also expressed his concern for Lin Nan. of envy.
"Director Lin, the general framework of the script of "Havoc in Tianzhu" has been completed and is now being perfected. I would also like to thank Director Wang for giving me the opportunity to transform into a director. Do you think you are interested in this project, or can you help evaluate it? ”
Wang Baoqiang kept his attitude very low, with a constant smile on his face, and his words were quite tactful.
"EK's marketing department has already evaluated it, and it is likely to be a blockbuster movie. I invited you here just to ask if you would like to join us. It will be almost ready to start filming in about half a year."
< br>Wang Changtian said without politeness and carelessly.
In his opinion, he was completely sincere, and Lin Nan had no reason to refuse! It's not the previous "Bad Angel", which will start shooting this year.
The filming of "Havoc in Tianzhu" is basically destined to start early next year. By then, Lin Nan Pictures may not be as busy with as many projects as this year.
""Havoc in Tianzhu"?"
Lin Nan put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth. He really had nothing to say. He could appreciate Wang Changtian's kindness, but how could a good script be produced by following the trend?
With Lin Nan's muttering, Wang Baoqiang had already handed over the outline of the script, or half of the script.
He had no choice but to take over the script and start reading it. After all, his impression of Wang Baoqiang is really good.
Wang Baoqiang was very serious when he first entered the director's position. The "idea" of "Havoc in Tianzhu" was proposed by him himself.
He was also very careful about becoming a director for the first time, that is, starting from imitation - a touch of Westward Journey, road comedy...
But this half of the script gave Lin Nan the feeling, It's obviously a bit "thin" and "floating"...not quite up to standard.
“Supporting new directors, especially new directors who have experienced actors and actresses, is also a very meaningful thing.
It is better for Bao Qiang to become a director than to be a director like Guo Jingming. Reliable? ”
Wang Changtian intervened at the right time, which really made Lin Nan unable to refute for a while, because what Lao Wang said was indeed reasonable.
He glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who was still smiling, and simply nodded. After all, the relationship was very good.
“Okay, shoot well. The road of directing is actually quite difficult, so be prepared to be criticized. My first movie was also scolded badly. .
Dr. Wang, let me know when everything is ready. This time, I will follow the investment in the name of Tiangong Color or Shanhai Media, and support Baoqiang, no, support Wang Baoqiang. Director.”
Wang Changtian doesn’t mind at all that Lin Nan chose Tiangong Colors or Shanhai Media instead of Lin Nan Pictures, because this represents Lin Nan’s attitude and Not much difference.
"Okay, I estimate that the project will be almost ready by the end of the year."
"Thank you, thank you, Director Lin, for your support. I respect you."
Wang Baoqiang followed Wang Changtian, very excited. Like this, he held up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Everyone on the table also raised their glasses, smiling broadly. Because of a movie project, this was considered a verbal agreement, and it was a joint project between two top giants, Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight.
This morning’s dinner was a success.
After drinking and eating, although Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang wanted to chat for a while, Lin Nan himself did not intend to stay longer.
Immediately, the first two had no choice but to give up and get up to see Lin Nan off; and they would return to the light together later to talk about "Havoc in Tianzhu".
The assistant was chatting with Wang Changtian's secretary and people from Wang Baoqiang's company outside, but when he saw Mr. Lin coming out, he immediately interrupted the conversation.
“Have you eaten?”
“Director Lin, we have already eaten.”
"Then let's go and go back to the company."
"Okay, Director Lin."
As he spoke, the assistant called the driver.
The group of people sent Lin Nan and his assistant into the elevator, then stopped and waved goodbye.
While Lin Nan nodded with a smile, he also glanced at everyone. The two people next to Wang Baoqiang were particularly conspicuous.
In the elevator, Lin Nan looked at the assistant and asked:
"What were you talking about just now? You are obviously not familiar with each other, but you were still chatting so enthusiastically."
The assistant felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. : "Let's talk about the differences in daily work. Well, and the salary, our company is the best.
As for not being familiar with it, it is indeed not familiar. I have met Director Wang's secretary a few times with you, But this is indeed the first time I’ve met Wang Baoqiang’s agent.”
“Agent?”
"Yes, I just heard that this agent seemed to belong to Huayi before. But now he is not only Wang Baoqiang's agent, but also a senior executive of his company. It seems that his name is Song, oh, by the way, his name is Song Zhe , Well, Song Zhe..."
Hearing this, Lin Nan remained silent.
......
The afternoon seemed to fly by, and the day ended in such a hurry.
In the movie market, the one with the most stable box office performance is undoubtedly "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", followed closely by "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield".
And the two youth movies are indeed only three to five days of popularity. At least "Tiny Times 4" has only three days of momentum and has waned.
The worst thing is that director Chen Da's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has been "going down" at the daily box office;
Not to mention another bad movie on his resume, and It is still a bad movie that has been branded with a special brand, because of censorship and because of The Dragon Prince.
