Chapter 961 "Wolf Warrior 2" preparation; Ye Ning's call
In 9 days, it won 2.148 billion; this box office result is gorgeous and dazzling.
Even Wang Jingdu posted a congratulatory Weibo at around 11 noon: "Congratulations to Director Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" for breaking the 2 billion mark!"
As soon as this Weibo was posted, It quickly topped the list of hot searches on Weibo and the entertainment headlines of major portal websites.
Netizens and posts praising Wang Jing’s sincere attitude and accusing him of taking advantage of the publicity to hype him up emerged one after another; the Internet soon became a quarrel and a mess.
As a result, the grievances and resentments between Zhou Xingchi and those people in the Hong Kong circle over the years have been brought out again.
After all, there are countless big names there who have accused and belittled Zhou Xingchi’s poor character countless times; at the same time, there are also many big names who have stood up for Zhou Xingchi’s character and talent, saying bluntly that he is just not good at sociability!
However, in the eyes of many people in the industry, Wang Jing’s Weibo post, which does not shy away from Xiang Jia, is indeed more of a sincere congratulation;
Although he is also here He has said frankly many times in public that Zhou Xingchi has big problems with his character and conduct, but every time he has not hesitated to praise his talent and strength;
And today, it is mostly praise.
This is because the box office sales of his "Macau 3" and Cheng Baorui's "Three Fighters" are less than half of "Mermaid" at this time, which are 877 million and 866 million respectively.
Lin Nan was not in a hurry to leave the light, and even had lunch with Lao Wang.
Talking about the movie market, "Murder in Time" jointly produced by Wanda and Yinghuang was a complete hit. It was really a three-day trip to the theater;
First 9.32 million on the first day, 1.4 million on the second day, and 160,000 on the third day!
How can Yang Ying be able to support the box office? Isn’t this just a joke and wasting money?
As for Zhang Ziyi's "Running for Love", the same is true. With 36 million, 4.04 million, and 1.01 million, you can only live for two more days at most, and you can still survive.
"About the end of next month, Bao Qiang's film "Havoc in Tianzhu" will be ready to start shooting; the casting has been completed, and most of them are people he contacted himself."
Lin Nan and Wang Changtian walked back to the light. He planned to sit for a while and go back later.
"Well, methodical, he is a person who really wants to cross over to become a director."
Lin Nan affirmed, and the next second, he and Wang Changtian saw Wu Danhe at the elevator entrance Xie Nan.
"Hey, you two just came back from lunch?" Wu Dan greeted with a smile.
“You should be considered the non-Kuang artist who comes to Guangming most often in the industry, right?” Lin Nan also joked while nodding.
“No problem, my wife is here.”
A playful joke immediately made everyone present, including the employees passing by; Xie Nan also smiled and said nothing. A glance at Wu Gan is a sign of harmony between husband and wife.
"During the Spring Festival, I took people abroad and visited many places..." The four of them entered the elevator. Wu Gen's tone became more serious and he talked about business.
""Wolf Warrior 2"?"
Lin Nan and Wang Changtian asked subconsciously, almost in unison.
"Yes, Director Lin and Director Wang, the script of "Wolf Warrior 2" can be polished in at most half a month."
Speaking of this, Wu Gaidun paused For a moment, they looked at Lin Nan and Wang Changtian, their expressions became more serious and serious:
"I plan to start casting the project while submitting the script for review. The actors must follow me abroad for at least one or two months to train. Then it was officially launched. I have contacted the relevant departments for support.”
"So in the next one or two months, the investment will be in place, right?" Lin Nan understood the meaning and joked.
Sure enough, Wu Gan smiled embarrassedly but cheekily:
“No rush, no hurry, the budget won’t come out in two days, let’s talk about it then, haha ..."
...
Nortel is a little embarrassed. I don’t know who broke the news about the last few preliminary auditions of the performance department the day before yesterday.
Guan Xiaotong, who debuted as a child actor, was stopped after reciting only a short paragraph because he made repeated mistakes and was too poor when performing poetry recitation. Many candidates in the same group confirmed this.
Logically speaking, this should be brushed off directly; but everyone in the industry or online knows that Nortel will definitely protect this child star.
As a result, netizens with a "rebellious" spirit on the Internet began to get angry:
They all started to visit the Nortel Performing School, waiting to see the "special care" in the future, such as When comparing Zhou Dongyu’s college entrance examination results, the admission score was the same!
When Lin Nan returned to the company, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. How do you say this? The result was actually doomed from the beginning.
Schools will recruit child stars like this with good looks and high national standards with their eyes closed.
No matter how bad reviews are given at the art exam site, it is just a formality, for the majority of candidates and the media to see.
After all, the debut of a child star means that this student’s starting point is naturally much higher than that of all other amateur candidates!
......
"It is impossible to visit the class. If I have this time, wouldn't it be good for me to sleep at home..."
In the afternoon, as soon as Lin Nan entered the house, she heard Liu Yifei's crisp and soft laughter.
I saw her wearing light pink furry home clothes and printed cotton socks on her feet, curled up on the sofa and playing a video.
Shuchang's phone must have just been turned off and he is currently removing his makeup.
"How have you been shooting these two days?" Lin Nan squeezed Liu Yifei, leaned forward and asked. "It's good. It feels like I was back when I was filming "Magic Phone 2" a few years ago. But today Brother Jiao and his daughter came to visit the class. It seems that she is a girl who wants to enter the film and television industry."
< br>
When talking about gossip, Shu Chang immediately became very energetic. He chatted with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei for a long time, and finally summed it up:
"...he is not a serious academic background, nor is he a child star. , and compared with his father, he looks too ordinary, and he didn’t inherit it at all.”
Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and lay on Lin Nan’s shoulder, “I have you, I have you. Are you talking so ordinary? Be careful when you say bad things to others..."
"I didn't mean to lie, I'm just ordinary, not as good as those students from Nortel and China Theater Company. I'm in my room, who can listen?"
At this point, Shu Chang lowered his voice mysteriously:
"I heard that Brother Jiao's family is a bit complicated? And I think his daughter seems to be a little deliberately close to her father in front of her, as if it's utilitarian? Tsk, maybe I feel wrong..."
< br>"Don't worry about other people's things, just play your part well."
"Stop gossiping."
Looking at Shu Chang, whose tone gradually became deeper, Liu Yifei hurriedly changed her mind. Topic;
Unlike her, Shu Chang was even worse. His parents divorced when he was five months old. He only had his mother in his childhood. When he was 10 years old, even his mother was gone...
"Oh, I won't gossip anymore."
…………
The next morning, it was past eight o'clock.
Wanda issued a very formal "announcement letter to the industry";
For a very few insiders such as Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, and Yue Jun, they are just My mood is a little mixed and solemn, after all, I already knew it the day before;
But for the entire mainland film industry, this is undoubtedly a blockbuster, blowing up the entire film industry and shocking all film and television companies in the entire industry!
"Wanda's report on the film and television industry:
The group's director, Ye Ning, the vice president in charge of the group's three companies, including theaters, film industries, and distribution, died on the 15th of this month due to personal reasons He has submitted his resignation to the group, effective immediately. From today on, Mr. Ye Ning is no longer a senior executive and employee of the group. We hope that all companies, partners and partners in the industry will be informed;
We also thank Ye Ning for his long-term service. Thanks to the contribution made by the group, I hope that it will achieve more brilliant results in its future work and career. In addition, I hope that both parties will abide by the agreement and stay well..."
Informed the content of the matter and thanked Ye Ning for his efforts. contribution, and tactfully warned them to abide by the non-competition agreement...
All the film and television companies and capital in the industry can extract several key points of Wanda's announcement at a glance.
No one believes that Ye Ning will leave the film and television industry. He has been deeply involved in this industry for more than ten years. Now the industry is already so prosperous, how can he leave? Stupid?
Ninety-nine percent of the film and television capital is vaguely guessing that someone is teasing the tiger's beard! If you watch some of them later, they will definitely be exciting.
The tickets for Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and their assistants have been booked; the flight time is early 9:30 am the day after tomorrow, and when they arrive in Los Angeles, it will be around 6 or 7 am.
In the morning, before the two of them could go out to go to the company, several phone calls came in;
Everyone is asking about Wanda and Ye Ning, who makes him a senior partner of Wanda Pictures.
After perfunctorily dismissing Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanping, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got into their cars.
For a whole morning, the film and television capital in the entire industry has been paying attention to the matter of Wanda and Ye Ning, the top manager;
For actors and artists, this matter It's not what they are interested in; because everyone is not of the same class at all, there are only a few actors and artists who have been promoted to capital, and they may gossip about it.
However, in the afternoon, another piece of "horrifying" news spread among a small circle in the industry, and even disappeared in a flash on Weibo.
"What did you say?"
Lin Nan sat behind the desk and put down the chopsticks in his hands in shock.
This is no longer a matter of whether Ye Ning will change jobs alone, this is about digging for Wanda’s roots. We must know that Wanda’s biggest foundation in the film and even the film and television industry lies in theater chains!
“As of 12 noon, word has spread that more than 20 theater managers of Wanda Cinemas have resigned this morning, all of whom have been working for more than five to eight years;
The exact number is unknown and is probably increasing. Wanda has not kept the news secret... It just spent money on public relations... I guess Director Wang will have to rush back from abroad immediately..."
Yue Jun said with a scared look on his face, but there was still a faint excitement on his face.
If Ye Ning resigned alone, the best everyone can guess is who was poached, or which company he switched jobs to;
But now so many key players of the theater chain have left at the same time, you fool Everyone knows that the nature of the matter is different, and something big has happened! Someone has taken advantage of the largest theater in the country!
Lin Nan looked a little serious and said nothing, which might alarm the bureau.
At this moment, the mobile phone next to the package suddenly vibrated. The two words on the screen were extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.
"Ye Ning?!"
Yue Jun opened his mouth in shock and looked.
And Lin Nan has already answered the phone: "Mr. Ye?"
