Chapter 905 Coincidence; Do you want to take students with you?
On the morning of the 8th, Wang Changtian personally led people to Lin Nan Pictures.
“As I told you before, although these two movies are commercial blockbusters for the Lunar New Year, they are only willing to sign a betting agreement on the total box office of "Detective Chinatown";
As for "The Secret of the Dragon", don't even think about it. Not many theaters agree with it. Wu Ershan is far inferior to you. He doesn't have the box office appeal, even for top IPs."
"Not many theaters agree? Then I am quite curious about how many theaters agree? Which ones?"
In the office, Wang Changtian fell silent when faced with Lin Nan's inquiry.
Yue Jun next to him glanced at Lin Nan subconsciously. He had already guessed something, maybe not even "a few".
After a moment, Wang Changtian hesitated and spoke:
“Among the top ten theater chains with the largest market share, only Wanda and Dadi Cinemas agreed, and the other major theater chains They all opposed it, so that small theater chains that followed the trend and opposed it swarmed;
China Film Group’s theater chain, Polybona’s theater chain, Huayi Theater Line, and Star America Theater Line, these are all...actively opposed ”
The office fell silent for a moment. Unlike Yue Jun's surprise at the Central Theater Line, Lin Nan's face showed no strange emotion at all.
"Dr. Wang, as the distributor, Enlight would like to thank Wanda and Dadi Cinemas for me. I won't embarrass them either. "The Secret of the Dragon" will just be a bet without signing it."
Lin Nan said decisively and then looked at Yue Jun.
"Director Yue will follow Guang Guang to sign the total box office betting agreement of "Detective Chinatown" with the major theater chains, and try to get it done within this week."
"No problem, Director Lin." Yue Jun nodded.
A few minutes later, only Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were left in the office, and everyone else left.
“To be honest, I think China Film’s handling of things this time is a bit rough, but they have their share.” Wang Changtian complained.
“Even if you have a share, you can’t force others to bet. Once you sign a bet, it means that more film arrangement resources will be allocated to "The Secret of the Dragon", but will it be able to receive the expectations? It’s hard to say what kind of profit return you have. After all, you don’t think Wu Ershan has that strong box office appeal, right?”
Lin Nan said tepidly. As for Huayi? They are all competitors, and of course they will oppose "The Secret of the Dragon".
As for "Detective Chinatown," Hua Yi can't afford to object, because most theaters are definitely willing. If any family objects, it is very likely that Lin Nan will kill them to scare the monkeys.
Suddenly, Wang Changtian smiled and glanced at Lin Nan with a strange expression, "I discovered something interesting."
"What?"
"It was directed by Wu Ershan in the first place. "Painted Skin 2", Shanghai Film Group fell behind; this time it was "The Secret of the Dragon" directed by him, and China Film Group fell behind even though it was a participating investor! Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"It's really... it's a coincidence."
Lin Nan smiled and shook his head. Shanghai Film had to wait for 5 years from "Painted Skin 2" to "Detective Chinatown".
Not long after, the two went to Tiangong Color.
If nothing else, the publisher of "Operation Mekong" is still Guangguang, well, at least it accounts for the majority.
Looking at the special effects company with more than 200 people, Wang Changtian couldn't help but feel envious: Lin Nan has many companies under his name, and Tiangong Color is undoubtedly the most valuable!
But when he saw Ning Hao, Lao Wang was a little confused. When it comes to post-editing of the movie, Ning Hao is not needed, right?
Under the awkward smile of Director Ning Da, Lin Nan could only joke, "He is busy at home, so he came to help, and it's free, just take care of the food. Haha..."
......
For four consecutive days, Lin Nan was at home and at the company, both at home and on the front line.
Turn on the news in the morning, good guys, film and television information, entertainment gossip, all were suppressed by the news about the Water Cube and Ali's Double Eleven Party last night.
To describe Alibaba's Double Eleven Party in one sentence, it is: it really "bought" most of the entertainment industry to support it. It was "inhumane" and extravagant to the extreme!
Zhao Yanzi even posted a photo with Jack Ma, claiming that she would like to work as a customer service person at Alibaba... and the popularity and topic volume exploded.
And Youku's exclusive live broadcast of this party has earned enough traffic, and the limelight at this time completely crushed Tudou.
Not only that, in the media reports, it is already: Youku relies on Alibaba, and sooner or later it will reach the first position in the domestic industry, taking advantage of the trend to overthrow Tudou...
On publicity Lin Nan admires Ali for building momentum and "confused people", and even more admires "Feng Qingyang".
In the morning, Nortel.
Lin Nan strolled around the school. Today was the start time for his second elective course.
Many students around were rushing to the large terraced classrooms, and the limit of 30 elective courses was the same as before.
"What are you going to talk about today? The 'hidden rules' you talked about last time caused quite a stir in public opinion."
"I will continue to talk about the 'rules' today. The rules of survival in the film and television industry are 'choice' and 'effort'!"
Lin Nan looked at Lao Jiang and couldn't help complaining again:
"Nortel's young actors are still too good. This time, when Yifei Company's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" opens its casting call, I'm afraid I'll have to try out in Chinese dramas, or choose among those Chinese drama actors who have graduated before."
"My Director Lin, please keep your voice down. If people from the acting academy hear it, they won't dare to trouble you, but they dare to criticize me all day long."
Lao Jiang was bitter. With a face, he originally thought that after becoming the deputy director, he could "have five people and six people";
But after he became the deputy director, he realized that the leader of the acting school would not dare to show up in front of the director of the directing department. Jiji Waiwai, but because the previous director was Tian Zhuangzang, they didn’t dare to Jiji Waiwai!
"What are you afraid of? Just say it was me." Lin Nan smiled and put his arm on Lao Jiang's shoulder. In Nortel, he could also walk sideways!
"Relax, I am the instructor of Qin Department after all...I still have something to do." "What's the matter?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
"The preparations for the Grade 16 Art Examination are about to begin. Didn't you see that there are many new faces in the school?"
Hearing this, Lin Nan followed Lao Jiang's gaze. past.
Sure enough... some people came in advance to "familiarize themselves with the environment", and the acting school was very lively.
Huh? Lin Nan saw an acquaintance and looked over there.
"Hello, Director Lin."
The girl in the distance smiled and bent over, and the middle-aged man following him also lowered his head with a smile as a greeting.
“Yeah.”
Lin Nan nodded and didn’t say much.
“Do you know him?”
"You don't know? That little girl's first movie was Director Chen's "The Promise". She previously participated in my company's "Painted Skin 2", and this year she auditioned for my "Chinatown Detective". She is also in the industry. "Relationships...but my character is not bad."
Hearing this, Lao Jiang immediately reacted, "That should be no problem. With this resume, I can enter the acting department with my eyes closed." . ”
Good guy, Lin Nan doesn’t even know if Lao Jiang is praising Guan Xiaotong or satirizing the acting academy? But it's true.
“Oh, I almost forgot something, I just happened to meet you.”
Old Jiang patted his forehead and asked Xiang Lin Nan: “Do you want to take care of students?”
"What do you mean?" Lin Nan was a little confused.
"You are an associate professor, you can supervise graduate students, and you will be promoted to full professor within one or two years... The department asked me to communicate with you... Oh, don't run away..."
"Are you kidding? I don't have such interest. It's not good to be free. I'm out of my mind and causing trouble for myself..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, Lin Nan Already gone far.
Lao Jiang looked at the retreating figure and murmured with a smile: "Oh, this guy reacts so quickly!
The school does not lack a professor to teach graduate students, but it lacks someone like you: the identity, status, connections, influence, and international reputation of the top directors in the film industry..."
Lin Nan walked into the classroom At that time, I was still complaining. Want to prostitute him for free?
The classroom was still full today.
Standing on the podium, Lin Nan glanced over. I saw the artist from the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yao.
I really answered the topic of his lecture today: "Choice" and "Effort"
Although the web drama "Wuxin Master" is very good, she "chooses" Tang people, which is a trap. What if I try harder later?
……
While Lin Nan was giving lectures, Liu Yifei was not idle either.
She was sitting on the sofa, with her right leg crossed over her left leg, arranging her work with a breathtaking aura:
“Be prepared, our casting this time will mainly focus on As for TV drama actors, they are mainly from the three major art schools, with China Drama first, then Shanghai Drama and Nortel...
After the script has been reviewed, the audition announcement can be sent out immediately. Director Jiang from Lin Nan Pictures will help with the audition and casting..."
The two assistants nodded hurriedly and memorized every word.
"You are really like your director Lin. He was born in Nortel, but you 'discriminate' against Nortel. "
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, this is the industry's recognition and default! "
Looking at Tang Yan and Luo Jin who came to the capital from the crew's vacation, Liu Yifei denied with a smile.
"It's not like Yifei has excluded Nortel. Isn't there Nortel?" Tang Yan helped Luo Jin.
"Okay, that's all, you can go back."
After sending away the two assistants, Liu Yifei's aura calmed down a little: "Wait for Lin Nan, he will be here at noon I'll be back, and we'll have lunch together then."
"Okay, where's Auntie? We've been here for twenty minutes, and we haven't seen Auntie yet," Tang Yan asked curiously.
"Mom has returned to her hometown again. My grandma and the others are very old and need someone to accompany them."
Liu Yifei explained, then picked up her mobile phone, "Let's figure out where to go for lunch first, or order food at home?"
"It's up to you to do whatever you want. We only have two days off. After Luo Jin checks in at Alibaba Pictures tomorrow, we have to go back to the set."
"The film is about to start?" Liu Yifei responded.
“Well, it’s about to be turned on.”
