Chapter 839 A veteran good boss; Shanhai Cinema...
Directed by Lin Nan and jointly produced by 7 top giants in the production industry, the main theme of the commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong" has set the number one spot for this movie An actor!
As soon as this industry gossip spread, its popularity immediately followed the "big event" of Lin Nan Pictures' unilateral "blocking" of Anle Cinemas.
The actors and artists in the industry are all restless and eager to try.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that this is actually the second actor cast in the film.
At the same time, the online voting campaign for the movie "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has passed the halfway mark.
The current data is simply shocking to the film and television industry.
Because Liu Yifei has not done any publicity at all, has not issued any press releases, and has never even mentioned topics related to "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" from beginning to end...
She ranked first with an overwhelming number of votes!
Following closely behind is Shu Chang. After all, her nationality is not inferior to that of Miss Liu.
And the vixen back then was also the first love in the hearts of countless people - "Lotus Lantern": Xiaoyu.
It was Yang Mi who clung to Shu Chang and even came and went. Speaking of red, she is really red!
After the top three, there are a series of popular actresses such as Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Bai Bing, Yang Ying, Ni Nai, etc.
The votes of these people are all about the same, whether they are true, false, or watered down. Anyway, the battle situation was tense for a while, and the fight was inextricable.
Contrary to the actress vote, the male actor vote seems a bit boring.
Because there are so many candidates, netizen participation is not high, and no actor has an overwhelming advantage.
So, in the opinion of many people in the industry, in the end it may be up to the production team of Alibaba Pictures to decide on the leading actor, rather than relying entirely on voting.
……
Company, in the office.
Lin Nan glanced at the "apology letter" sent by Anle Pictures with a rather teasing expression.
This is just a process, one of the items in the General Administration’s notification document.
And Anle Pictures is just "acting according to the rules", because it can be seen from the wording and sentences of this "apology letter": it is very official and completely insincere.
"Director Lin, they should have stopped stealing.
But apart from the aboveboard means of public welfare screenings, other small tricks have not stopped, and some have even intensified."
Although it is shameless to spend money to buy water injection at the box office, there is really no way to pursue it.
Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and said rather speechlessly:
"This is an old fox... he has his own leeks to pay for it. I heard that he will go to the Venice Film Festival next to sell copyrights. ."
"Leeks? The stock market? Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Yue Jun joked and then got down to business:
"The light. News came from the side that the distribution theaters previously planned for "Get Out! Tumor King" have been eliminated
In addition, the premiere and banquet time are officially scheduled for August 4th, which is also the time to hold a celebration banquet for "Xiu Chun Dao 2"! "
"Well, okay. ”
Speaking of "Xiuchundao 2", Lin Nan and Yue Jun were in a much better mood.
At the premiere, Lu Yang also said that he hoped that the box office results would be better. It's guaranteed to be 500 million, and it's hitting 600 million.
But now, after 23 days of release, the total box office has not only exceeded 600 million and reached 680 million, but it looks like it can hit 700 million!
Because yesterday's daily box office was 5.03 million, and there are still 7 days until the movie is released.
As for another "The Return of the Great Sage", this is already a phenomenal blockbuster movie - the benchmark and flag for domestic animated films.
After 23 days of release, the total box office revenue was 1.135 billion. Just yesterday, it appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Culture.
When the Venice International Film Festival opens in September, "The Return of the Great Sage" will undoubtedly be the top priority of Lin Nan Pictures' copyright transactions.
But when it comes to box office, "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" are still unavoidable topics.
The former took 8 days and cut 980 million.
Although the daily box office has been cut in half again due to word-of-mouth, and has dropped to just over 10 million, the 1 billion box office is definitely within reach.
Why else would Sohu and Dong Chengpeng open champagne at halftime and start preparing for the celebration banquet so early? Its cost is only 50 million!
The last one is "Monster Hunt" which is at the peak of public opinion.
Under various tricks, Anle got 1.245 billion in just 9 days. It truly proves the saying: A shameless person is invincible!
.........
In the afternoon, Bona and Wang Jing simultaneously announced "Macau 3", which really surprised the film and television industry and countless netizens.
In the eyes of the industry, the series "Macau" is really profitable, so much so that the lineup of the third part is actually so luxurious:
"Produced by Bona, Written and directed by director Wang Jing, the main cast list for "Macau 3" has been officially completed and is announced as follows:
Chow Runfa, Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Jiali, Li Yuchun, Xiang Weiqiang, To the left..."
"After many years, God of Gamblers, Swordsman, and Long Wu reunited in "Macau 3"... The film will be officially launched in early August."
When Lin Nan saw the news, he subconsciously I guessed that Liu Tianwang was filming a love movie again.
Because according to the usual behavior of Hong Kong films, this kind of commercial series will only get worse and worse until they are "squeezed" out of any commercial value.
Unfortunately, "Macau 3" fits the characteristics of this kind of production - therefore, Andy Lau's favor is quite valuable, I'm afraid he will have to take the blame and be scolded again!
“Alibaba Pictures contacted Hongxingwu.”
Hearing Liu Yifei say this, Director Lin immediately became energetic and immediately put down the tablet in his hand.
“Is it really your idea?”
Lin Nan couldn’t help laughing, but isn’t the voting not over yet?
“I didn’t say much else, I just sent an invitation to invite me to attend the film seminar later.”
Miss Liu explained with a smile, Lin Nan has gained a lot of experience. An IP movie, all nonsense, but also a seminar? !
"Then thank you for the invitation. It will save you time trouble."
"Changchang also received the invitation. I estimate that among the actors in the industry who were voted online, Ali did not miss out."
< br>Liu Yifei’s analysis was very clear, and it seems that this possibility is indeed very high. This hype is definitely another top gimmick and a hot topic in public opinion.
"You two should stay away. Fans want you to accept it, it's just a good wish. This is a trap, don't jump. At least it won't do any good to you two."
"I know that if you can't finish such a long story in a movie, it will only end up in pieces. Following you over the years, it's not like I haven't improved in terms of scripts."
Liu Yifei pouted and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan angrily. She actually looked down on her after telling her so many times!
……
The summer vacation is about to pass halfway, and the end of July seems to be flying by. No. 25, No. 26, No. 27, No. 28, No. 29!
Hua Yi's "Destined" only lived for 5 days after it was released on the 24th, and was hastily released on the 29th.
The total box office revenue was 37.78 million, and 90% of the box office revenue was obtained on the first and second day of release, which is terrible.
But helpless, who said that several movies in the same period are too cruel!
On the morning of the 30th, the summer season officially entered the second half of the "battlefield". Because two blockbusters were released at the same time.
"Co-produced by China Film, Pony, Huayi, LeTV and Youzu, directed by Director Wu Yusen, starring Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo and others, the movie "The Other Side" was released on This morning, it was officially released. "
"Director Wu Yusen was interviewed by reporters on Hong Kong Island and emphasized:
"The Other Side" is the real essence of the movie "The Wheel". , and "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)" is the perfect preparation for it. I hope fans and audiences can calm down, let go of their prejudices, stay patient, and don't miss it..."
"Produced by China Film, co-directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, and Cheng Shiqing, starring Fan Bingbing, Li Ming, Wu Zun, Ning Jing and others.
The large-scale historical costume film "The Woman of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" lasted for 6 It was filmed and produced in 2017 and has officially launched in theaters across the country this morning..."
"According to theater chain data, due to the extremely poor reputation and box office of the previous film, the overall scheduling rate of "The Other Side" was only 3.6%; the first-day screening rate of "The Lady of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" was 20.1%. "
...
Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to outside movie information.
After breakfast at nine o'clock, he was ready to leave for the company. Before leaving, he asked Liu Yifei again if he wanted to come with him, but he was still decisively rejected.
At this time, someone at Lin Nan Pictures arrived earlier than Lin Nan.
Third floor, large conference room.
I don’t know how long ago it was last time all the artists met.
Today, several people sat together again, and it felt quite "nostalgic", but everyone's smiles were a little sad. "I said, Lao Lei, what are you doing here? This is about our signing of actors. Does it have anything to do with you, who runs a studio?"
Zhang Yi still looked like an old man, teasing Lei Jiayin beside him. This scene also made Zhao Liying and Reba laugh.
"Just look at the excitement. You have already seen the excitement before. Besides, what contract actors? After today, they are all studio owners and wage earners!"
Lei Jiayin was also a fool and replied with a smile.
However, these words instantly made the three people on the opposite side feel a little unnatural.
"Actually, the company did this for our own good and gave us a chance to develop upwards. Anyway, I have gained a lot in the past few months. Well, a win-win situation!"
"A lot of gain? Look at you. In that way, the income will be doubled?”
“Hey, hey, don’t say this, don’t say this.”
Looking at Lei Jiayin’s wretched appearance, Zhao Liying and Reba were also nervous. Relieved a lot.
At this moment, Jiang Yuerou and his assistant pushed the door in.
"Director Jiang."
"Director Jiang."
...
The four greetings were almost in unison.
"Well, everyone, please sit down. Director Lin has just arrived. He is in the office now and will come over later."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuerou signaled her assistant to hand out the three document bags in her hand.
At this moment, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, and Reba couldn't help but become serious, and took the document bag one after another. .
"This is the artist management contract you signed with the company. Zhang Yi signed it with Lin Nan Pictures, Liying and Reba signed it with Shanhai Media..."
File The bag was opened, and three contracts came into view.
I saw that Zhang Yi’s face was obviously a little yellowed. After all, in two months, it will be 9 years!
"As long as we're all here."
Lin Nan's voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lin Nan, Yue Jun, and two assistants and administrators.
Another round of greetings ended, and the conference room became even quieter than before.
“Zhang Yi’s contract expires in September next year; Reba still has two years and eight months left; Xiao Zhao’s longest contract is three years and nine months, right?”
< br>Hearing Lin Nan's question, the three people nodded immediately.
"Director Lin, why..."
Lin Nan raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Yi's inquiry.
“Listen to me. The company plans to open a studio for you and transfer all your remaining contract time into the studio contract. Of course, the length of the studio contract will not be short.
< br>The reasons for this are as follows:
First, the current film and television industry’s remuneration, endorsements, announcements... the market continues to skyrocket
Working for yourself will definitely make you more passionate, and the company will make more money! Am I right, Lei Jiayin? "
Lin Nan joked with a smile. Lei Jiayin smiled but didn't speak.
"Second, there is the issue of the income of actors and artists. You will earn more and more and it will become easier and easier. When it comes to paying taxes, studios are definitely more favorable than individuals and pay less.
But I want to warn you here, please remember: supporting you to open a studio allows you to legally avoid taxes, but it does not allow you to evade taxes, evade taxes, and evade taxes! "
"Third, although I don't want to admit it, this is a fact: in China, actors only rely on their youth, unless you are a real acting school.
Actors with acting skills become more popular as they get older, like Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin. Of course, more acting actors can still only make ends meet, which involves many practical issues.
As actresses grow older, their competitiveness will become lower and lower, and they need to be promoted to capital as soon as possible. Even if you can't get promoted smoothly, you must at least save enough wealth for yourself! Only then can you stay calm in the circle. "
After Lin Nan said this, he looked at Zhao Liying and Reba, especially Reba.
"Reba, the money you have made for the company in the past two years is more than There are more of all three of them. Hundreds of millions? ”
Lin Nan asked Jiang Yanrou about the last words.
"Well, hundreds of millions, after tax."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and Zhao Liying were all shocked.
Reba smiled sheepishly: "It's all cultivated by the company, and "Running Man"..."
"When a popular actress is young, her ability to attract money is very good. You have to surpass the same male artists.
After setting up a studio, the resources given to you by the company will not be reduced, and there should be more resources from outside; save more money for yourself, and be prepared. ”< br>
Lin Nan smiled and told Reba that he should be considered a good and experienced boss in the film and television industry!
"Yeah, thank you, Director Lin. I want to see Sister Yifei today. Is she at home? Is there any announcement?"
"I'm busy writing wedding invitations at home, you can go Help."
Lin Nan nodded, his voice soft. Ms. Liu attaches great importance to weddings. He feels that handwritten invitations will be more cordial for some guests.
The four artists here are not stupid. They can tell that the company is for their own good and it is a win-win situation.
"Okay, I'll go help."
To be honest, the other three are still very envious of the relationship between Reba and Liu Yifei.
Because they all know that Liu Yifei can influence Director Lin's movie casting and decide on roles...
While several people were muttering in their hearts, so was Lin Nan.
The four artists of the company are all on the front line.
But only Reba is on the traffic star route. Although her ability to attract money is number one, she also has the biggest shortcomings, weaknesses, and flaws. She can only be given more care and support!
"Although the company's profit has never come from the artist management business, you have indeed made a lot of money for the company. I hope that... we will continue to work hard! Four bosses?"
A joke from Lin Nan The words instantly enlivened the atmosphere.
"Director Lin, this is your true intention, right? Haha..."
"I will work hard!"
...
“Okay, let’s talk about the studio. Your studios are all in this building, on the same floor. The company will clean them up as soon as possible.
As for the contract period, it starts at 5 years and reaches 9 years at most... 10 years is impossible! The share ratio..."
While Lin Nan was speaking, Yue Jun had already placed several contracts in three. In front of people, you can browse and browse at will.
What made Lin Nan satisfied was that Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying and Reba didn't pay much attention to it, just waiting to sign the contract.
After more than half an hour, the signing was completed, and Zhang Yi asked a question.
"Director Lin, our studio is all affiliated with Shanhai Media... Will Shanhai Media really stop signing artists at all in the future?"
"Yes, but the work of the four of you The studio can sign artists, which is an indirect release of restrictions.
Of course, the main thing is that you can sign artists yourself, but remember, if you want to sign someone, the first priority is Director Yue or Director Jiang. I will investigate.”
Speaking of this, Lin Nan couldn’t help but think of other things:
"Perhaps one day, the studio of the four of you may also 'move' away from Shanhai Media."
"Huh? Why is this?"
"Because Shanhai Media has The name may be changed to Shanhai Cinema Line...but this is only a possibility. There is a high probability that a new company will be established, and it will be called: Shanhai Cinema Line!"
After the Anle incident, For the first time, Lin Nan really included the theater chain in his plan.
But when will it be implemented specifically... It probably won’t happen in the next few years!
There is only one chapter today and I can’t finish it
