Chapter 877 Follow-up, Investment Division
As the night passed, the news about the Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner not only did not cool down at all, but became even more heated and boiling from the early morning.
Relevant entertainment information has reached the point of hot discussion on the entire Internet; the public opinion is very exciting!
“Last night, the Bazaar Charity Dinner came to a successful conclusion; the total amount of donations raised during this charity dinner reached more than 50 million.”
“Last night, just five days ago The trophy and certificate of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, which is awarded and symbolizes the highest honor in the mainland film industry, was freely given by Director Lin Nan..."
"Director Lin Nan specifically emphasized that he has never touched the trophy and certificate from beginning to end, has never entered his home, is not second-hand goods, and does not lack this one..."
"Director Lin Nan·Best Director Golden Rooster Award Trophy and certificate, the starting price is 100 yuan;
After many rounds of bidding, it was finally purchased by Starlight Pictures at a high price of 2.6 million yuan. The latter donated 2.6 million yuan in the name of its artist Jing Tian. Yuan."
......
"Awesome, Director Lin is openly at odds with the Golden Rooster Award. He is giving away the award and selling it in front of his face."
"All the trophies and certificates of film awards that Director Lin has won are Liu Yifei's collection;
Every time there is an update, she will send out all her collections, that is, all the trophies of her family. 'Show off';
But this time is the exception. Maybe they really think Jinji is disgusting, right? They don't even have a photo with Jinji!"
"No one! Did you notice? This starting price is amazing!”
“Haha, yes. If it is a starting price of 1 yuan, it can be said that it is a symbolic starting price, which is priceless. Interpretation; but what the hell is 100 yuan?”
"Just like Director Lin Nan said at the Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner when the auction was priced: 100 yuan, isn't this the cost of materials and production?
The production cost of the Golden Rooster Award trophy and certificate will definitely not exceed 100 yuan, the starting price is the cost price of materials and processing fees. Director Lin made it clear that he was selling scraps there... and auctioning handicrafts!"
"Starting from last night, the Golden Rooster Award will be completely shipped from the factory. Pricing: 100 yuan! How much it will sell for and how much the premium will be depends on who owns it!” , a premium of 2.5999 million! The starting price is the price of the Golden Rooster, and the premium is because of Director Lin!”
“If anyone in the film industry auctions the Golden Rooster Award again, the cap will be 2.6 million, because of Lin! The director sold it for 2.6 million
Unless the person who auctions off the Golden Rooster Award for the second time has greater achievements than Director Lin Nan, otherwise, it will be completely unconvincing! "
"If that's the case, then just give 2.6 million to the Golden Rooster Award Committee. Can you just give an award directly? There are many celebrities who can afford it. How about paying it? ! "
"Although they are all chickens, this is not the way to sell them. It..."
"You two upstairs are so brave, be careful of the golden rooster lawyer's letter warning! ”
……
Lin Nan didn't know how chaotic the Internet was because he was still sleeping and recuperating.
But the film bureau has already bear the brunt of the quarrel, and it is extremely "busy".
The Golden Rooster Committee, the Filmmakers Association Council, the Review Committee...the overlap of personnel in these units and departments is very high.
At this moment, Tong Gang was blocked by a group of people, and Zhang Hongsen happened to be "hiding" in Tong Gang's office, so he was blocked together.
"We are not blind. He is deliberately disgusting us and humiliating the entire Chinese film industry! He vents all his dissatisfaction with the Golden Rooster, the General Administration, and the officials here."
"Tong Ju, Zhang Ju, go check out what is being said on the Internet right now. What is a Golden Rooster worth 100 yuan? Are you asking where to pay to book the Golden Rooster Award for the year after next..."
"Some of our committee members and directors couldn't help but criticize Lin Nan's behavior of auctioning the Golden Rooster Award on the Internet. As a result, the post was deleted within a few minutes of being posted, and he was banned for half a year! They said that we were being abused for no reason, and that we were What kind of community agreement is violated..."
In the huge office, more than a dozen veteran cadres with an average age of 55+ listed Lin Nan's crimes angrily, as if they had been fed gunshot.
Although the expressions of Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen were calm, they both felt disgusted in their hearts: You are scolding so harshly, and others are shareholders. Who can you ban from the platform?
“Forget it, it’s charity. He didn’t earn a penny, so all the 2.6 million that Jing Tian gave him was donated to poor counties, and he bought an ambulance...”
"Yes, you gave out the prize and others used it for charity. Is there anything wrong with that? I wish every film worker in the Mainland had such an awareness!"
"Others not only provided the lot but also said , I also donated the same 2.6 million! How much did you donate? How many times have you donated?” An army.
More than a dozen "veteran cadres" were feeling angry, but they just didn't know how to respond.
How much have you donated? Most people have never donated. But I have done it many times by initiating donations from others, but this can also be considered as a contribution to charity!
"But, why is the starting price 100 yuan, not 1 yuan? Isn't this trampling on the dignity of the golden rooster?"
Tong Gang frowned. Do these people not understand people's words or simply don't want to listen? Human words?
"Is there any difference between the starting price of 100 yuan and the starting price of 1 yuan?"
Zhang Hongsen saved Tong Gang with one sentence, everyone fell silent, and there was a dead silence in the office.
Is there a difference? Of course there is a difference!
But no one at the scene could tell this difference. If anyone said it openly, he would be the one who insulted the Golden Rooster Award!
A few minutes later, only Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen were left in the office, and the dozen or so "veteran cadres" had disappeared.
With the "will" of dozens of people from several departments, they came angrily, but they ran away in disgrace.
Because they saw that the two direct leaders were clearly favoring Lin Nan!
"He was indeed a bit too ruthless this time, leaving no room for himself and Jin Ji!" Zhang Hongsen sighed with emotion.
"What he said is actually correct. He is not short of this award."
Tong Gang muttered with a smile, and then called the secretary in.
"Tong Bureau?"
"Ask the people below to notify the relevant units and platforms. The heat has been suppressed and it has become a joke."
"Okay, Tong Bureau.”
"Tong Bureau, you really take good care of him. I hope he won't make any trouble next year when Huabiao comes."
"Lin Nan is sensible and won't do it."
Tong Gang He smiled and shook his head, then seemed to think of something interesting again:
“Last night at the Bazaar Charity Night, when he stood on the stage to auction the Golden Rooster Award trophies and certificates, he definitely wanted to be there. It's wonderful. If you raise the card, you will offend the Golden Rooster; if you don't raise the card, you will offend Lin Nan! Haha..."
"Most people chose to be friends with Lin Nan without any hesitation!"
< br>
.........
At half past 10 noon, Lin Nan got up sleepily.
It was almost 12 o'clock when he and Liu Yifei got home last night; they took a shower and messed around for a while, and it was already 2 o'clock in the morning...so they went to bed too late!
In the garden, Lin Nan sat on the swing without any desire and looked through the missed calls from the morning. It was from Yue Jun.
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, felt refreshed and full of energy, carrying cat food and feeding the cat, smiling constantly.
The phone call came back and the answer was: "What's going on?"
"Director Lin, at around eight o'clock this morning, Li Bingbing came over with his assistant and said that you gave her the copy of "Operation Mekong" The number one female?"
Lin Nan patted his head and was so obsessed with women that he forgot about this matter!
"Well, I made an appointment with her at the Bazaar dinner yesterday and made an appointment to go to the company today. How did you deal with it?" "The contract has been signed, and I don't think anyone in the industry dares to come to our company. It’s a lie, haha..."
Yue Jun smiled and joked that he called Lin Nan just to confirm and report the matter.
“The entire "Operation Mekong" project is now ready.
Notify all actors, film crews, and logistics teams, and then contact Golden Shield to prepare special 'props'...especially It’s Mr. Chen Baoguo, shoot his scene first.”
Lin Nan smiled and then ordered without hesitation;
After finishing filming “Detective Chinatown”, I took a break for 5 months. It’s time to get ready to start work again!
"Well, okay, Director Lin."
......
In the afternoon, the attention of the film industry seemed to be instantly attracted to Hua Yi.
After two years since "Private Order", a "bad movie" that made money, Feng Xiaogang finally got news about his new movie.
"Feng Xiaogang Studio, a subsidiary of Huayi, announced that Toyo Mira Pictures was officially established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of director Feng Xiaogang."
"Co-produced by Huayi, Toyo Mira, and Yaolai Pictures, directed by Director Feng Xiaogang, and written by Liu Zhenyun, the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has been officially approved; casting for the film and television industry will begin from now on..."
"Director Feng Xiaogang claimed that the new film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has far-reaching ideas and explores human nature, and will become one of the most outstanding masterpieces in his career."
"The third part of the "囧" series "囧" , will be released in theaters across the country after 12 o'clock tonight and will be officially released!"
Lin Nan also has a task, which is to help the premiere of "Charlotte" the day after tomorrow.
There are no big names in this movie. The only person who can help it quickly build a large audience is Lin Nan, the producer and shareholder of Happy Twist.
In his expectation, he hopes that the total box office of the two movies "Charlotte" and "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" can reach more than 3.5 billion, and then smash the National Day schedule!
As for other movies, I can only say sorry.
Facing the upcoming releases of "Charlotte" and "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", the industry once again turned its attention to the 29 cinemas of Anle Cinemas. In one word, miserable!
......
On the morning of the 25th, Liu Yifei accompanied Liu Xiaoli to go out, and Lin Nan received an invitation from Wang Changtian.
The focus of Ray's work this month and next month is on the distribution business, both on the two movies "Hong Kong" and "Charlotte", and its ambitions are even higher than before.
"Your auction of the Golden Rooster Award was so popular that it was suppressed by 80% to 90% in just one day yesterday. If I guessed correctly, it should have been opened by the higher-ups?!"< br>
"Yes, I know."
Lin Nan smiled indifferently while drinking Wang Changtian's tea, which cost more than ten thousand and one tael. Weibo had called him, and it was indeed the competent authorities who had spoken.
“Drink it too, it’s rare that Mr. Wang has changed the tea.”
Looking at Wang Baoqiang, Lin Nan raised his cup.
“I’m just a cow chewing peonies, and I can’t taste the taste. Director Lin, please.”
Wang Baoqiang smiled sincerely, but the words “cow chewing peonies” didn’t even come out After you come out, why are you still a "stupid person"? Over the years, he has continued to learn and improve!
"Let's talk about the main business today. I know you are about to start "Operation Mekong", so I specially invited you here today."
After Wang Changtian finished speaking, he looked at He turned to Wang Baoqiang, who nodded hurriedly and waved to the assistant behind him.
A file bag was handed over, and after opening it, there were three identical film production budgets-"Havoc in Tianzhu".
"So fast?" Lin Nan asked.
“Because this is my first time as a director, so if I hold on tight, my efficiency will be higher.” Wang Baoqiang explained with a smile.
At this moment, the office became quiet, and Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were already looking through the budget planning document.
Both of them are experienced filmmakers. Although they can see ten lines at a time, they will not miss anything at all.
"110 million? Are you sure it is that high?"
Lin Nan was a little surprised, considering that Deng Chao's first movie only cost 40 million!
“It’s not like you don’t know how the film salary market has increased in the past two years! Do you think that all directors are you, and the actors in the industry are eager to participate in your movie with ultra-low pay or zero pay? , or are you willing to reduce your salary to participate in your company's Lu Yang and Guo Fan's movies?"
Wang Changtian replied to Lin Nan angrily.
“It’s gone up again?”
Lin Nan asked belatedly. It seemed that he still underestimated the development of the industry.
“Well, so far this year, it has been increased twice, and it was increased once last month.
But I don’t blame you, after all, major directors basically have no idea about the salary market. Insensitive, because he is never short of money, let alone you!"
Well, Lin Nan also realized at this time that Li Bingbing probably didn't get the latest salary yesterday because of "Operation Mekong". The budget plan was made nearly three months ago.
“Okay, let’s talk about the division. Let me emphasize again that this time I will use Shanhai Media to participate in the investment, just as supporting new directors.”
Lin Nan said seemingly casually, and glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who quickly thanked him.
"What's the difference between Shanhai Media, Lin Nan Pictures, and Tiangong Color? They're all your company, right?"
Wang Changtian said indifferently, and then asked Asked Wang Baoqiang: "You are the director, how much are you prepared to invest?"
When talking about this topic, Wang Baoqiang's expression instantly became more serious, very serious: "Director Wang, Director Lin, I can come up with two Ten million... The leading actor and director will not receive any salary, it has been removed from the budget."
Lin Nan can see that Wang Baoqiang is really trying his best.
"Yes. Shanhai Media will offer 40 million. Guangguang is the main controller, and the remaining 50 million will be left to Director Wang?"
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Changtian with a smile, And picked up the teacup again,
“Of course it’s no problem. Come, let’s celebrate with tea instead of wine.”
Wang Changtian proudly picked up the teapot and added a cup for himself .
In the office, there was laughter again.
In fact, the last time I heard Wang Baoqiang talk about the script outline in detail, Lin Nan had no expectations for the quality of the movie.
But for new directors, if it doesn’t work once, you can do it a second time.
Especially Wang Baoqiang’s character is completely worth investing in! Moreover, the movie is a comedy. With his comedy audience, it is absolutely impossible to lose money.
