Chapter 891 "Ip Man 4"; Tudou Announcement, from now on...
On the morning of the 18th, Lin Nan still got up very early; it was said that the crew had two days off, but he really felt that I didn’t get much rest!
No, it’s just past eight o’clock, and I have to rush to catch a plane again. Liu Yifei transformed into a racing driver, while the business car driven by her assistant followed closely behind.
"You can go back to sleep when you get home soon. I will be back after half a month or twenty days at most."
"I can't sleep anymore, Brother Xun My son asked us to go to her birthday party at noon. We still have to put on makeup and pick out clothes. Changchang will come over soon. ”
"Oh, now it's 41?!" Lin Nan couldn't help but joked while sitting in the passenger seat.
“Don’t tell her that, she will curse.” Miss Liu couldn’t help laughing when she heard this.
The red Ferrari parked slowly outside the airport. Liu Yifei, wearing a T-shirt, slim jeans, burgundy sunglasses and long hair shawl, accompanied Lin Nan and got out of the car.
The two assistants did not need to be reminded and went straight to the registration with their suitcases in hand.
“Come on, give me a hug.” Lin Nan hugged Liu Yifei into her arms. She was soft and fragrant.
"Okay, come in quickly, reporters are coming." Miss Liu said softly, but she did not let go of Lin Nan's hand.
"Sissi, don't answer the recent strange calls. I guess some people will probably bother you if they can't find me, even our mother."
< br>Lin Nan let go of Liu Yifei and reminded her seriously.
"Yes, I understand." Miss Liu nodded vigorously. She knew in her heart that it was just about the potatoes.
Two minutes later, after closing the car door for Liu Yifei, Lin Nan strode towards the departure hall;
No matter how many entertainment reporters and paparazzi shouted and surrounded him, he ignored them and only kept smiling and nodding in response.
The news of Lin Nan's appearance at the airport was not a hot topic, and was quickly submerged in the gossip related to the Nortel School Anniversary yesterday. After all, it was a grand ceremony for most of the film and television industry.
However, in the eyes of industry insiders, the trends in the film market are the focus of everyone's greatest attention, because this is the arena for the entire production industry and the film circle, where the career lies!
The lingering charm of the National Day schedule has long been exhausted, and several leading movies are also coming to an end.
"Co-produced by Zhenledao, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xu Zheng, starring Xu Zheng, Bao Beier, Du Juan, Zhao Yanzi and others;
"囧", the third part of the "囧" series, was released for 23 days. The total box office reached a total of 1.77 billion, and the daily box office was less than 100,000. The film unfortunately stopped before the 2 billion box office mark! "
"Director Xu Zheng said in an interview that he is satisfied with the 1.77 billion box office result of "囧" and looks forward to making up for his regrets next time;
Guangguang Chairman Wang Changtian updated his personal Weibo: The celebration banquet of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" is scheduled to be held in Beijing on the morning of the 25th of this month. We welcome many colleagues in the industry, filmmakers, and media friends..."
"Co-produced by Happy Mahua and Lin Nan Pictures, Yan Fei, Directed by Peng Damo, starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Yin Zheng, Song Yang and others;
The movie "Charlotte Trouble" was released for 18 days, with a total box office of 1.701 billion, and a daily revenue of nearly 10 million; the film is There are still 12 days left until release, and there is still hope of hitting the 1.8 billion yuan box office threshold. ”
"There is a consensus in the film industry: "Charlotte" is the biggest box office dark horse of domestic films this year; actors Shen Teng and Ma Li became famous immediately. With this film, they officially appeared on the big screen and entered the first-line ranks. The other actors have their own achievements. Bonus..."
...
At noon, Lin Nan arrived in Yunnan and returned to the hotel where the crew had stayed; Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing and other actors were better than He arrived early.
Especially Zhu Yawen, who flew here right after attending the school anniversary last night, which is really unexpected.
While several people were having lunch together, Ning Hao also arrived.
At this time, the people from Jindun and the head of the logistics team came together to report the situation.
"Director Lin, most members of the crew and the machines have already set off for the Golden Triangle at 9:30 in the morning, and have already checked into the hotel at this time;
Relevant departments The entourage and us set off on time at three o'clock in the afternoon..."
Well, after having lunch and resting for a while, we have to rush on our way again. Lin Nan smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay, you should hurry up and prepare."
When there were only five acquaintances left at the dinner table, everyone started chatting again.
"Although it has been developed into a tourist destination, it is quite prosperous. But after filming, we should try not to go out unless we can. Safety first."
Lin Nan kindly reminded , several people nodded in agreement.
“By the way, I met Director Chen when I left last night. You didn’t see his expression. He didn’t even say hello to him. He was attending a school anniversary just like someone owed him money.
After thinking about it, your sister and I figured it was the reason why we didn’t get the ‘Special Contribution Award’. After all, he’s such a ‘high and mighty’ person, the Palme d’Or director! Tsk tsk...”
Ning Hao was really interested and teased Lin Nan about Chen Kaige last night;
On the other hand, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing and Zhu Yawen could only say nothing, smiling while picking up their dishes. The topic is too high-end and I dare not get involved!
"Maybe, anyway, his competitor is Director Zhang, not me. Haha..." Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.
Lunch ended in a hurry, and several people started packing their bags again.
At the same time, in the capital, Lin Nan Films.
After Yue Jun came back from outside, he sat in the office and immediately flipped through several business card holders in the drawer. He didn't save some phone numbers!
"Director Lin is not here, so we have to push forward the new projects on the schedule. But in the past, Director Lin had direct conversations with them... Why can't I find them?"
The assistant took the company's The project memo stood quietly on the side, watching Yue Jun busy there, and hurriedly asked: "Director Yue, do you want to help?"
"No, found it!"
Yue Jun placed a simple business card with a gold-plated pattern on the table, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the business card were three simple traditional Chinese characters: Yang Shoucheng.
After taking the memo from his assistant, Yue Jun called directly from his landline phone.
At this moment, Hong Kong Island.
Chairman Yang Da is attending a reception hosted by the Hong Kong Island Film Union. The theme of such events is always a cliché, namely: how to revitalize and develop Hong Kong films!
Several giants in Hong Kong, such as Yinghuang, Anle, Media Asia, China Star... are all here.
“Sister Mani, is your phone turned off?”
A young assistant ran to the edge of Huo Wen Creek and asked in a low voice. The latter was socializing with several female artists.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Director Yue of Lin Nan Pictures called Director Yang..."
Hearing this, Huo Wenxi immediately put down his wine glass.
Logically speaking, Yue Jun usually calls her because the status of both parties is equal; but the person who calls Director Yang directly is usually Director Lin Nan!
At this moment, Yue Jun couldn't get through her phone, so he called Director Yang directly...it was obviously a very important business matter!
"You guys talk first, I have something to do and I have to excuse myself."
Huo Wenxi took his assistant and looked for his boss.
“Are you talking about Lin Nan Pictures?”
“Yes, it’s Lin Nan Pictures.”
Several female artists began to chatter.
In the cocktail lounge area, the chairman’s assistant stood guard outside to ensure that no one would break in. He only let him go after seeing Huo Wenxi.
"Director Yue, what do you mean to say that preparations for "Ip Man 4" can begin?"
As soon as he walked into the rest area, Huo Wenxi heard Yang Shoucheng's laughter and was in a good mood. .
“Yes, Director Yang. Director Lin should have told you before that this is also the last part of this series.
The creative team, especially the director, martial arts directors, and shooting team, please coordinate in advance and try to maintain the same style as before;
Finally, Director Huo, please take time to visit Lin Nan Pictures , divide the investment shares..."
The smile on Yang Shoucheng's face is already overflowing, "Well, Wenxi will go to the capital at the end of this month, and the team's Yinghuang will take care of it..."< br>
Two minutes later, Yang Shoucheng looked at Huo Wenxi and said with a smile, "Did you hear that?" "
"Well, the "Ip Man" series is about to open its fourth installment! ”
Huo Wenxi was also in a good mood and nodded. If a series of movies achieves this level of success, as long as they are not perfunctory, it will be difficult to compensate them!
"Adjust the schedule. Before the end of the month, go to Lin Nan Pictures and try to get more for us."
"Okay, Director Yang."...
< br>
In the eyes of Lin Nan, Ning Hao and others, the developed area of the Golden Triangle, which is more than 300 kilometers away from the border, is similar to the third-tier cities in China;
There are even many areas similar to the urban-rural fringe, and overall they have a backward atmosphere. The architectural style naturally has a somewhat exotic flavor.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the crew members were ready, and the filming location was in a large shopping mall here.
This is the first time that all the members of the "Mekong Case·Special Operations Group" disguised themselves and had a confrontation with the gang of villains, and then they were exposed, exchanged fire, drove, and chased!
Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, and Li Bingbing gave Lin Nan the "OK" gesture at the same time, and other actors followed closely behind, also on standby.
"Director Ning?"
"I'm sure there's no problem, I'm just waiting for your command."
Ning Hao stood behind the main camera and shouted, he was responsible for Zhang Hanyu's lens;
In addition, there are six cameras Responsible for the mission of assistant camera, six people took the shots, filming Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing and others.
"Prepare, 3, 2, 1, action!"
As Lin Nan's voice fell, the filming of the second half of "Operation Mekong" officially began.
Zhang Hanyu's sophistication, Zhu Yawen's forbearance, and Li Bingbing's resoluteness, the three people's character creation is perfect.
Sitting behind the monitor, Lin Nan watched everyone's performance and was very satisfied.
They are all veteran actors, and there are almost no mistakes. The only difference is between good and better; after all, the script has been read so many times, and everyone has rehearsed it in private for so long!
......
At noon, when the filming of "Operation Mekong" was in full swing, the domestic film and television industry, financial industry, Internet industry... all focused their attention on Tudou!
Major financial capital, Internet capital, film and television capital... are all agitated, enthusiastic, and even boiling because of Tudou's announcement.
Relevant news dominates the hot search list, and the attention, popularity, and topics on the entire network are overwhelming. Countless people in the film, television and entertainment circles are shocked and looking up.
“This morning, Tudou Video Network released an important announcement:
In view of the fact that the company’s development has reached a necessary stage, in order to enable Tudou to continue to grow and expand, and thus better serve users, all shareholders Through a unanimous vote, Tudou will launch the IPO process from now on;
From the date of the announcement, Tudou’s first round of financing plan has officially begun; the first round of financing reception is scheduled for the evening of the 25th of this month, and investment from all walks of life is welcome Please actively sign up to receive an invitation to the dinner party.”
"According to industry insiders, Tudou's market share is as high as 40%, higher than Youku. It ranks first among similar companies in market share!"
"It is reported that this round of listing journey is Tudou’s second listing trip; 5 years ago, Tudou was stopped from listing due to the divorce case of founder Wang Wei and stopped in four rounds of financing; after that, Tudou fell into a serious trough, its valuation plummeted, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy until Major shareholder change..."
"Relevant website data shows that the current major shareholders of Tudou are: Lin Nan Pictures, Wanda Pictures, Enlight Media, Wang Wei..."
...
Everyone knows that Tudou does not belong to the film and television industry. It is an Internet attribute and only intersects with the film and television industry.
This also means that whether in terms of valuation or post-IPO market value, Tudou is not comparable to listed companies in the film and television industry. Its upper limit is even greater!
“Contact Tudou immediately, we must be the ones to receive the invitation letter to the financing dinner on the 25th!”
“Let’s find out, among so many banks, who are our competitors? The shares released in the first round will not be large, because Tudou is not short of money!”
“According to the plan, we will go to Mr. Wang to get the invitation letter. This is what Director Lin agreed to!”
< br>“Go and sign up first, and then see if there are any other more reliable ways before the dinner. It’s definitely best to have an extra insurance policy.”
...
Capital in the financial industry, capital in the Internet industry, and even capital in the film and television industry have all begun to take action.
No one is stupid. Everyone knows what high-quality stocks are. Potatoes are the top quality stocks - a super big cake!
“It’s finally begun.”
Let’s not mention the financial industry and the Internet industry. In the film and television industry alone, there are a large number of companies trying to make potato chips, such as Huayi, LeTV, Xingmei... …even individual state-owned enterprises!
"Let's try it first and sign up."
"Okay, Director Ren."
......
"In the name of Weibo, go and contact Wang Wei."
"Cao Cao, don't you just ask Director Lin? He is Tudou's major shareholder!"
"No rush."
"Okay, Director Cao."
......
Jiaxing, Zeng Jia and Yang Mi, who had recently received financing, also Pay attention to Tudou’s announcement.
"Mimi, this is a company with a valuation of more than 30 billion, and it is not a premium valuation. When it is successfully listed, the market value will only be higher, or even more than doubled!
Tudou has issued a financing announcement now. You can see how many capitals want to get on board are rushing in... This is the real top capital! "
Zeng Jia said with a longing face, and Yang Mi swallowed subconsciously, "If you can't compare, don't even think about it. But, I really envy her..."
...
Big companies are taking action, small companies are fantasizing, and even some individuals in the film and television entertainment industry are "whimsical".
No one could get through to Lin Nan’s phone number. Wang Changtian just disappeared. Over at Wanda - Lao Wang was very proud. He had been shopping during this period...
No one who wants to take shortcuts can find a way, and all come back in vain! Be anxious, but don’t give up!
"Sissi, this is the sixth call that Hongxingwu has made to me since you turned off your phone! Those people are really powerful. They couldn't find Director Lin, so they tried every means to find you!"
Shu Chang pursed his lips, a little regretful about being this mouthpiece.
"Then next time you call, tell them, just say it was me and ignore those people. I guess the same is true for Lin Nan Pictures, but I think Senior Brother Yue Jun will definitely handle the matter. More experienced than me.”
Liu Yifei was curled up on the sofa, eating fresh strawberries, very comfortable.
"Your big director probably won't be able to come back for Tudou's financing dinner on the 25th. Do you, the 'hostess', want to go to the dinner party?"
Faced with Shu Chang's curious inquiry, Liu Yifei gently He bit off the tip of half of the strawberry and shook his head:
"No, I don't understand that. Besides, except for Director Wang, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Wang, I definitely don't know anyone else. Go After we get there, we will inevitably have to socialize and socialize. It’s too tiring, and I’m not stupid!”
Liu Yifei gave her best friend a look, “disdainful” that the other party is so stupid!
……
The next day.
On the crew of "Operation Mekong", Lin Nan sat behind the monitor and watched Zhu Yawen's performance, with veins popping out. It was an expression of extreme emotion.
After catching the drug dealer who abducted, defiled and forced his girlfriend to death during the chase, the second male character did not choose to abide by "discipline", but killed the drug dealer by "swallowing a gun"! And this scene happened right in front of the male lead.
In addition, the props team created a scene where brains mixed with blood are splashed onto the leaves of shrubs. Although it is very bloody in the camera, it is very refreshing!
Lin Nan will not cut this scene, because he is very sure that the review department will not dare to object and will only give him a pass, unless his brain is really flooded and he wants to die!
"Click!"
When Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone at the scene immediately relaxed. After filming this ten-minute scene, several supporting roles were completed at the same time.
“I said to Director Lin, Tudou will hold its first round of financing dinner in five days. Are you really not going back?”
“Nonsense, of course you won’t go back. Also, it’s best not to say anything else. Say it in front of me, otherwise I won't save face for you."
Lin Nan glared at Ning Hao. He knew about the latter's call from Dong Ping.
Obviously, Ning Hao understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'm too lazy to pass on the message, just leave it to fate."
"We don't expect to get the original shares of Tudou. When it is launched, we will go to the secondary market to support it.”
Li Bingbing was sitting on the chair next to him and joking, and many people around him were nodding in agreement and smiling constantly.
Because it does not require much judgment, Tudou is recognized as a high-quality stock, just buy it!
"Then I can only say one thing: thank you all for supporting me! Haha..."
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. He was also looking forward to the financing dinner on the night of the 25th. It would be very interesting to come...after all, most of the capital was to accompany the runners!
