Chapter 970: Replace China Film Group? 10%, submitted by Xiying Film
“Shocking: In the morning, Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned from Hollywood and landed at the Capital Airport;
The former revealed in an interview with the media that Lin Nan Film Two senior executives of the industry and an unknown number of middle managers were once attracted by Huayi in an attempt to poach people and exploit corners..."
"In the face of the dispute between Wanda and Huayi, although Lin Nan did not express his position clearly, Lin Nan Between the lines of the director’s words, there is no doubt that Wanda is on the side!”
……
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had just arrived home and had not even finished unloading their luggage. News about the two of them suddenly appeared on the headlines and hot searches, and quickly spread throughout the circle.
The two of them were calmly discussing what they wanted to eat for lunch at home. After all, the Chinese restaurants in Hollywood are still a lot less interesting, and they are far from comparable to those in China;
But the industry is no longer calm. It has become hotly discussed and excited.
Because Lin Nan is the first person in the industry to speak publicly in front of the media and high-profilely side with one of Wanda and Huayi, and he is a big director and a big capital!
In the opinion of many colleagues in the film and television industry, there is another meaning behind Director Lin’s behavior, namely:
It was originally just a "personal feud" between two top giants in the industry, but now and in the future, it is very likely to develop into a confrontation and competition between the two camps.
However, most colleagues can also understand, who made Huayi's side so "unscrupulous" that they actually tried to pry people from Lin Nan Pictures?
Wanda and Lin Nan Pictures, who were originally partners and allies, now have more reason to share the same hatred!
When I think that this is a "fight" involving at least three film and television giants, colleagues in the entire film and television industry can't help but get excited. This is a big deal!
Huayi.
From the announcement the day before yesterday to the press conference held yesterday, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were in extremely comfortable and happy moods for more than two days;
Because whether it was the actual situation or the public opinion on the Internet, Hua Hua Yidu took advantage; words such as "immoral" and "moral kidnapping" were all thrown at Wanda!
But at this moment, both of their expressions were a little gloomy.
Lin Nan's intervention caused the public opinion to change, and there was a faint trend that was unfavorable to Huayi. This was something they did not expect.
After all, someone who wants to pry off a giant in the industry can still explain it by saying "people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places";
However, it is really unjustifiable to continuously attack two giants in the industry and pry the middle and senior management on a large scale. It will greatly affect the image and reputation of the company and its managers!
Although in the eyes of the industry, Hua Yi, Wang Zhongjun, and Wang Zhonglei do not have a good image, good reputation, or good reputation, the two brothers do not have "self-awareness"!
"Ever since Lin Nan finished the phone call at the airport more than an hour ago, media outlets have been calling the group to verify it. There are more and more reporters downstairs in the company. Over there at the front desk..."
"Stand back and don't respond. Let's just let this kind of thing go as soon as we are happy. The more entangled it will be, the more trouble it will be..."
Wang Zhongjun pinched his eyebrows. He was not sure that he would be crushed in public opinion. It was impossible to take advantage of Lin Nan like Wanda; because the group really poached those people in Yue Jun, but they didn't take advantage of them.
"Okay, I will tell you to go down and avoid this matter. I think it will fade away in two or three days, and then find some other hot searches."
Wang Zhonglei nodded and said. The public is forgetful, and the best way to make them forget a hot search is to give them another or multiple hot searches!
……
There are a wide variety of dishes on the table, and the tablet computer is placed on a stand and stands beside it.
That's right, Liu Yifei was eating while videotaping with Shu Chang; of course, Shu Chang in the video was also feasting, and the two besties are both gluttons.
"Isn't it time for you to come to visit the class? Since you haven't announced anything in the near future, you just come here to play with me."
Chewing food in his mouth, Shu Chang "seduce" Liu Yifei with unclear words. .
Miss Liu raised her head and looked at Lin Nan who was dealing with the prawns with a smile. Director Lin handed the thing in his hand to her:
"You can go as long as you like in these two days. It doesn’t matter, it’s a TV series produced by Hongxingwu after all, and you are still the producer.”
“Yeah, I think so too, ah…” Liu Yifei opened her red lips lightly and asked Lin Nan to feed it. she.
"Humph, I'll be spoiled by you two even if I have lunch, so I won't eat!" Shu Chang said angrily and disdainfully.
"That's okay, I'll eat less and I won't die of hunger." Lin Nan replied with a smile.
Shu Chang angrily urged Liu Yifei, who was laughing at her, to turn the tablet around so that she could confront Lin Nan.
But before Miss Liu could agree, Director Lin called. He immediately put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with a wet wipe, then stood up and walked towards the living room.
“Quite busy?”
"It must be serious business." Liu Yifei stretched out her finger, smiled and tapped the camera, as if tapping Shu Chang's head.
After a while, I heard Lin Nan's voice from a distance: "Then go to your side. There are probably a lot of media reporters and paparazzi squatting downstairs in my company."
In the afternoon, Liu Yifei rested at home. She had promised to visit the class of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" tomorrow, while Lin Nan left for Guangming.
After not seeing him for more than half a month, Wang Changtian seems to have gained a little weight and his face is red.
“Wu Gan said that the budget for "Wolf Warrior 2" will be available in the next two days.
In addition, the cast of "Passing Through Your World" has also been fixed, and like Bao Qiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu", it will start shooting at the end of this month or early next month. "
In the office, Wang Changtian poured a cup of Pu'er for Lin Nan.
"Well, let's wait for him. When Yifei and I were in Hollywood, we said that "Wolf Warrior 2" would be released at the beginning of the month. "
Lin Nan picked up the tea cup, eh, good tea, good water, and good cooking!
As soon as he looked up, he saw Wang Changtian staring at him with shining eyes:
"Tell me, how are things going with "Pacific Rim 2"? I feel like a cat is scratching my heart."
Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing immediately: " I brought back 35% of the share."
Wang Changtian's eyes widened even more after he finished speaking, and he slammed the table, "Okay, you did a great job! "
Halfway through his laughter, Wang Changtian calmed down and became a little serious: "Where is Wanda? "
"Although something happened at Wanda, it will definitely not affect us. Regarding the relationship between them, it’s up to Director Wang to contact them.”
"What about the share? How do the three companies divide the 35%?"
When talking about this issue, Lin Nan hesitated. Xiying said it was 5% before, but we can't really stop asking in case there is a change.
“When Yifei and I were in our hometown around the Spring Festival, we confirmed with Xiying that they could only provide 5% of the share, and it was still 5% of the US$150 million budget. But now it is final The budget is 165 million US dollars. When they arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will ask them if they want to change the share. I will allow them to increase or decrease it;
But I think even if they want to increase the share , I guess I can’t add a few points... The rest will be divided between Guangguang and Wanda.”
"You are really kind and righteous to Xiying. You are worthy of being from my hometown."
Wang Changtian smacked his lips and sighed with emotion.
But he estimated that with the mess that Xiying was in, it could only maintain a 5% share. After all, the budget had increased by 15 million US dollars.
Furthermore, Xiying does not have a listed company, and its annual allocation is far less than that of China Film and Shanghai Film. Where will they get the money for additional investment? !
“When will the co-production film be submitted for review?” Wang Changtian couldn’t restrain his curiosity and asked again.
The review process for co-productions is different from that of domestic films. At the film bureau, you have to go through the procedures of several departments, that is, special "reporting" and "approval" for co-productions:
The reporting content includes: co-productions Detailed information about Chinese and foreign producers, Chinese and foreign investment ratios, the approximate proportion of Chinese personnel in the project, domestic shooting locations, movie scripts...
In short, the review and approval process for co-productions is very strict and time-consuming. The production time is definitely longer than that of domestic films; but the subsequent treatment is the same as that of domestic films.
"Within a week, no later than early ten days."
Lin Nan said firmly. He is waiting for Xiying, Xiying is of great use!
...
The next morning, Liu Yifei was full of energy and flew to Hengdian with her assistant, where the scene of "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was transferred.
Lin Nan was called to the company by Yue Jun's phone call. Who would have thought that people from Xiying would be so active?
Yesterday afternoon Yue Jun informed me that "tomorrow and the next two days" would be fine, but he flew to the capital early this morning.
In the office, sitting opposite Lin Nan was Director Zhang of the Xiying Production Department.
But the smile on his face when he first arrived has now disappeared and turned a little bitter; just because he heard the figure of 165 million US dollars.
"Xiying is the only state-owned enterprise in China in this project. Director Zhang should understand what this means?"
"Replacing China Film?"
The other party's eyes lit up, and he felt his energy and energy more than doubled in an instant.
“Yes, Xiying, Wanda, Guangguang.”
"What about Director Lin's company?"
"Hollywood's Crystal Pictures is in charge, accounting for 25%!"
Lin Nan nodded and said seriously.
I saw Director Zhang sitting opposite and waved hesitantly to the entourage, "Give me the mobile phone. Director Lin, would you like me to make a call?"
"Well, if necessary, There is a small conference room next door.”
"Thank you." Director Zhang stood up immediately, followed Lin Nan's assistant with his entourage.
A few seconds later, Director Lin sighed regretfully; it is really not easy for Xiying Film, only the signboard of a state-owned enterprise and those priceless but worthless honors are left!
As he approached, Lin Nan took out a cowhide file bag from the drawer, which was prepared and organized yesterday afternoon.
Ten minutes later, Director Zhang strode back to the office; at this moment, in Lin Nan's eyes, his whole person carried a sense of "decision" and momentum.
"Director Lin, Xiying has made a bet, we believe in you more than we believe in ourselves."
Director Zhang looked at Lin Nan and said very solemnly.
Hey guys, Director Lin felt a little stressed after hearing these words, but he was even more curious about how Xiying made the "bet"?
"Is Xiying's investment share going to change?" Lin Nan knew that it should be increased, but he still asked a general question.
"Well, Xiying can provide 10%. After this project, Xiying will not be able to make other movies, at least it will not be able to produce it itself. It can only provide people and technology in exchange for investment..."
“10%?!”
Even Lin Nan was shocked. He originally thought that there would only be one or two points more at most, "Are you sure?"
"Sure! After all, Director Lin also said that Xiying is the only one among the Chinese production companies For state-owned enterprises, 5% is really hard to get rid of. Haha..."
Is this the main reason? That phrase "replace China Film and Television"!
Lin Nan said no more, but pushed the cowhide document bag in front of Director Zhang.
"Director Lin, what is this?"
"This is the application document for the co-production of "Pacific Rim 2"!"
Lin Nan looked at Director Zhang, with his doubtful eyes, and added: "Let Xiying submit the application."
"Okay, Xiying picked it up." Without saying a word, Director Zhang excitedly picked up the document bag and handed it to his entourage.
The reason why Lin Nan asked Xiying to submit the report is that, firstly, Lin Nan Pictures’ goal is too big;
Secondly, well, in order to cope with the upcoming China Film and Shanghai Film. ;
Finally, Xiying had to "pat the table" with the bureau from time to time to urge the progress of approval?
Xiying definitely understands these!
