Chapter 972 "Asura"; La Dong...it's "Pacific Rim 2"! Xiying, it’s worth it.
The last time "Operation Mekong" divided investment shares, the person who represented Wanda to Lin Nan Pictures was still Ye Ning;
I didn't expect that eight months had passed. No.
Guangguang 12th floor, in Wang Changtian's office.
Lin Nan looked at the "newcomer" sent by Wanda with a smile and said hello:
"So, now Mr. Liu is the president of Wanda Cinemas, taking care of the film company as well?"
Liu Xiaobin smiled and nodded, his attitude slightly lowered:
"Well, after Mr. Ye left, , I was transferred from the position of financial director of the commercial real estate group to the executive president of the theater chain, and was also in charge of Wanda Pictures.
Speaking of which, I joined the group two years earlier than Mr. Ye. I am Millennium. Year, he was born in 2002, but Mr. Ye is indeed more capable than me; over the years, he has held several important positions:
Group Director, Vice President of Wanda Culture Group, President of Wanda Cinemas, Wanda Pictures General manager, chairman of the distribution company, director of AMC theaters...
No, after this incident, the group was greatly shaken; several senior executives were transferred before they could take over the job that Mr. Ye had done alone..."
Lin Nanhe Wang Changtian glanced at each other vaguely and sighed in his heart:
Good guy, has the old man been bitten by a snake and been afraid of the rope for ten years? He actually directly decentralized power and is not allowed to do it again? The second Ye Ning appears!
“It’s our first meeting, I still have to congratulate Mr. Liu, you’ve been promoted. "Wang Changtian made a joke and changed the topic.
"Haha, it's hard to say this kind of thing so straightforwardly. However, I would like to ask Director Lin and Director Wang to take care of me in the future. We have been allies and partners for many years.
In addition, Director Wang asked me to say hello to you two on his behalf. The relationship between Wanda, Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight will not change in any way because of Ye Ning’s departure, but will only become closer..."
Liu Xiaobin picked up the Teacup said with a smile. Lin Nan and Wang Changtian nodded and raised their glasses. "Director Lin, Director Wang, let's talk about business next, right?" When I received the notice from Director Wang, I was looking forward to it. This was my first big project after taking over!
I will be the host at noon, you two are welcome, I have already made arrangements before I came, we will set off soon..."
Lin Nan and Wang Changtian did not refuse and sighed. He is worthy of being one of the executives sent by Big Lao Wang to take over Ye Ning’s previous core position. He has emotional intelligence, sophistication, and attitude, all in one!
"Then let me tell you."
Lin Nan spoke, and Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin immediately became serious.
"The budget of "Pacific Rim 2" is 165 million US dollars. The original share of Xiying was 5%, but it was changed to 10% this morning.
Of course, I am also interested in helping them. , Their current situation is indeed too bad, so the share that Wanda and Guangguang can allocate is only 25%, half and half."
Hearing what Lin Nan said, Wang Changtian felt a little regretful, but he was still very sad. Happy, after all the light changes from 0 to 12.5%:
"Very good. Ray will prepare the funds as soon as possible in the next two days and wait for notification."
Compared to Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin is completely excited;
Because "Pacific Rim 1" At that time, Wanda’s share was 10%. Now it has an increase of 2.5%. This is undoubtedly his contribution.
"Okay, Wanda has no problem at all. We will do our best when arranging films for global distribution!"
Not long after, the three of them came out of the light talking and laughing, behind them Followed by several entourage.
Until the dinner, everyone still had a tacit understanding and did not mention the other domestic producer of "Pacific Rim 1" - China Film!
……
Afternoon, Jiaxing Media.
The call was made directly to Yang Mi, not Zeng Jia, Yang Mi’s manager.
“From these days until May Day, you cannot miss any publicity event during this period. Isn’t this a bit too harsh?”
Zeng Jia was not very happy, and her tone was full of complaints and unwillingness.
Yang Mi said nothing, frowning as she looked at the "promotional itinerary" sent by Xue Xiaolu;
After a long time, she forcibly cheered up, swept away her fatigue, and said to Zeng Jia said:
"Jiajia, just follow this schedule to communicate with the two crews. On days when there is a promotional schedule, you will not join the crew.
Conflicts with the promotional schedule The announcements should be staggered as much as possible, and can be arranged at other times on the day of the promotional event; it’s just that I’m a little tired from rushing to the event, and it’s nothing.”
Hearing what Yang Mi said without delaying anything, Zeng Jia had no objection and felt relieved:
"Okay, I will communicate with the crew and the organizers later. It should be No problem."
After the stone in her heart fell to the ground, Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi who was obviously tired, and then reminded:
"There will be a brand party reception in the evening, you. Why don't you sleep for two hours first?"
"Well, I'll take a nap. I thought that if there was a hit movie, I might be able to finish the bet in advance, but now it seems that I'd better do it first. I've been so busy. Get ready to go down;
But it doesn’t matter, a 300 million yuan bet is still no problem. If a popular front-line person like me works so hard, if our company can’t make 100 million a year, then we will really be sorry for this celebrity..."
Yang Mi said feebly, regardless of whether she had enough sleep, the continuous work was indeed a waste of energy.
...
The Nortel 16th-level art exam has been successfully completed, but. The school is still bustling with people.
After all, the final rankings have not been announced yet, so all the final exam candidates can’t help but come to the school, and the same goes for the Central Theater and the Upper Theater;
In addition, there are also a lot of art candidates who failed in the first few rounds of the art exam and are now rushing to study in related majors in higher vocational colleges;
This retreat is also a way for thousands of troops to pass. Single-plank bridge...it's the best thing if you can move around.
Lin Nan received a call from Lao Jiang again. According to the school's procedures, the other associate professors have begun to submit papers and works one after another in preparation for the subsequent defense session.
Although he has special treatment, he still has to take this matter to heart. He needs to prepare the copy of "Operation Mekong" in advance...
China Film.
"Now that the script of "The Founding of the Army" has been sent to the bureau for review, the project will be officially announced in a few days.
Before the Army Day, the casting of the all-star cast and the location of the film will be announced Location scouting and selection, adjustment of actors' schedules... these all take a lot of time.
Inform director Liu Weiqiang and others that they will be very busy in the past four or five months..."
"Okay, La Dong."
The secretary nodded immediately in response, but there was a trace of hesitation on his face, whether it was unintentional or intentional.
"What's wrong? Just tell me if you have anything to say."
La Peikang knew his secretary, glanced at it, and asked.
Hearing this, the secretary immediately talked about what happened that morning without any further hesitation:
“La Dong, I saw people from the Western Film Production Department at the Film Bureau this morning.< br>
Guess what, Xiying actually submitted the application materials for the co-production film and gave it to the Green Channel, requiring approval within two months..."
Sure enough, before the secretary finished speaking, La Peikang's eyes widened and the pen in his hand stopped.
He raised his head with an expression of disbelief on his face and asked:
"Do they have the money to make a co-production? Do they have the courage? What kind of movie? Where did they co-produce it with?"
“I asked about it, but Director Wang of the Co-production Management Office kept it secret from me and didn’t reveal anything.
However, I saw Director Zhang’s expression from a distance, and he seemed very excited and happy. An expression of ecstasy and excitement? ”
La Peikang's eyes flashed. As the leader of the domestic film and television industry, he has a very keen sense of smell;
I was rejected by Ning Ying some time ago, but I didn't expect that Xiying also has good things? !
Immediately, La Peikang picked up the landline phone on his desk, found a phone and made a call. He was connected after a few seconds, and hung up after a while of greetings.
He looked at the secretary: "You can go to the film bureau again and this time you can enter the co-production management office... After seeing Xiying's project, call me as soon as possible.
I’m also very curious. With such a rich family, what kind of co-production can we still do? If necessary, can we help, haha..."
As soon as the secretary left, Han Sanping called.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han. You don't have to deliver it in person...it's okay to be idle. I'll go over and sit..."
...
Exclusively In Han Jia'v's study, there were many papers scattered on the table, all of which were drafts of biographies.
The sound of typing on the keyboard is endless. She writes, deletes, and deletes. She strives to make the words the simplest, most sincere, and most profound.
But after all, it was her first time to write a movie script, so it was really challenging and difficult for her.
"Oh, my hair has been falling out recently. I need to take it easy for a few days to change my mood."
After scratching her head, Han Jianu muttered speechlessly.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, she had a video chat with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and it was difficult to make an appointment for a meal;
One of them is on the set, and they will not be on vacation in the short term, and the other one will go Visiting class, I have to play for one more day before returning.
I called Lin Nan to ask for advice on writing a script, but I was laughed at!
Writing a script is like several schools of acting. The experiential school is the most authentic, natural and direct;
The actor puts all his emotions into it and becomes the character himself. , the person acting is herself; the same can be said for writing a script, writing about "himself";
He also suggested that she, a "rookie", could just refer to the "experience school", and the script she writes will definitely be The most carefree!
Just when Han Jianu was complaining about Lin Nan, there was a knock on the door: "Jianu, your uncle is here, come out and say hello, be polite."
Upon hearing Lao Han's voice, classmate Xiao Han responded immediately. Although she is careless, she still has the courtesy that she should have, no less.
Not long after, when Han Jianu came downstairs, she saw La Peikang and Han Sanping drinking tea in the living room and chatting about "The Founding of the Army". There was also a document bag in front of the two of them. She knew without guessing that it was a movie planning document made by Lao Han.
"Beauty, I heard that you stay in the study all day writing scripts? What kind of script are you writing? Tell me about it. I will invest in you when the time comes." La Pai He looked at Han Jianu with a generous smile.
"If you ask again, she won't tell. She didn't even tell me, and she wouldn't let me in through her study door." Han Sanping said mockingly while holding tea.
"When I finish it, everyone will know. As for finding investments, I have my own plans, so I don't need Uncle La to worry about it."
Han Jianu sat down on the edge of Han Sanping with a smile and gave The two refilled their cups of tea.
“Well, it’s a good thing to have your own ideas!”
La Peikang nodded and praised. Then he looked at Han Sanping and said to Han Jianu:
"I just told your dad, do you want to be the assistant director on the crew of "The Founding of the Army"? This is the main theme, for you Resumes only have benefits..."
"I have been the assistant director of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" before, so I don't need another main theme; "The Founding of an Army" should add... almost nothing to my resume, right?"
Well, the careless Han Jianu immediately choked up La Peikang with a word that didn't make sense; he was a little embarrassed, because "The Founding of an Army" might, most likely, really not be able to compete with "Take the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" Compare!
"You girl, how can you talk so well?"
Han Sanping retorted angrily, but that was all.
“Stop talking about her. Since I have no idea, let’s forget it.”
La Peikang is not angry. The most important thing is that he understands Han Jianu's character. In their status and position, it is rare to have a junior who "tells the truth", and he is very good!
Han Jianu smiled and was about to speak, but at this moment, La Peikang's cell phone rang. The movement instantly attracted the attention of Han Sanping and Xiao Han.
……
Shangying.
Ren Zhonglun tapped his knuckles lightly on the table. He narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the marketing manager in front of him, "Say it again, are you sure?"
"Director Ren, I am sure that Ning Ying's big production is called "Asura". The investment budget is more than 100 million US dollars, and almost all of it is funded by Ning Ying. We are currently doing preparatory work before the project is established, including special effects modeling... …
I heard that there is a high probability that the official announcement and casting will be made in the middle of the year, and filming will start in the second half of the year... Both Western Film and China Film have made plans before, but they were all severely rejected, especially Western Film. , I didn’t even know what movie it was, so I was dismissed.”
At this moment, Ren Zhonglun’s face already had a playful expression.
"More than 100 million U.S. dollars! Is this going to burn the boat? We have to think carefully before we want to play like this, but they are quite wild and decisive! They have never thought about what to do if they mess up. Can they afford the consequences? ? Well, they have so much money?”
“It seems like they are all from old film studios, especially Ningying. They own a lot of land and properties.”< br>
"Oh, that's all we have! You'd rather mortgage it than accept our kindness, right?"
Ren Zhonglun said speechlessly, looking down upon him.
Because there is an old saying, the more someone can burn everything, the more it proves that he has "nothing" or "is in a difficult situation"!
"Director Ren, there is something else." The marketing manager interrupted Ren Zhonglun's thoughts.
“Didn’t you specifically contact Ning Ying? Are there any other gains?”
Ren Zhonglun said suspiciously, looking at the expressions of his subordinates.
"Director Ren, I also have a few friends at Xiying. I heard this afternoon that they submitted the application materials for a co-production film..."
Hearing "Co-production film" "Three words, Ren Zhonglun immediately sat up straight, refreshed, and asked: "What movie? Where was it co-produced?"
"Dr. Ren, it seems to be..."
…………
"What did you say?"
La Peikang was so excited that he almost shouted. Veins could be seen faintly on his neck, and his eyes were wide and bloodshot.
Han Sanping and Han Jianu watched on the side and remained silent, because the father and daughter could hear the voice on the phone clearly.
Not only did they hear it clearly, but at the end of August last year, the father and daughter had already heard Lin Nan talk about it at home.
At that time, Han Sanping invited Lin Nan to his home for a showdown. He made it clear that he would attend the Golden Rooster Awards and also invited Lin Nan to direct "The Founding of the Army".
But Lin Nan's attitude towards two things is: the former doesn't matter, he won't go anyway; the latter refuses because there is no "nourishment"!
When Lin Nan left, he said something special: Next year Crystal Pictures will restart the "Pacific Rim" series and make a sequel.
At that time, Han Sanping didn’t understand what it meant, and he didn’t know why Lin Nan said this, so he was laughed at by Han Jianu;
Finally, the "leaky cotton-padded jacket" was "translated" After a while:
"You mentioned the Golden Rooster first, and my senior brother Lin said he wouldn't go; but then he mentioned the sequel to "Pacific Rim". Isn't this obvious? It's five years ago. One word: Don’t come even to China Film Group! ”
On the other end of the phone, the secretary said tremblingly:
"La Dong, La Dong, the co-production film submitted by Xiying is..."Pacific Rim 2"! The specific filing information, the producer... No Let’s see.”
The living room was so quiet that Han Jianu could even hear La Peikang’s heavy breathing.
She lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible, and murmured in her heart: "You won't get angry, will you? Don't..."
"He, he didn't say hello to us at all. , without saying a word, he just decided on a co-production project?”
La Peikang gritted his teeth, almost chewing out each word.
At this moment, an unknown fire arose in his heart, he was holding a breath in his chest, and his whole body was at the critical point of exploding!
China Film still had 20% in the first film, but in the second film, it was kicked out of the game? Kicked out!
"La Dong, do you want to ask Director Lin... I just filed the record, there should be... a chance."
The secretary can obviously feel La Peikang's reaction at this moment. He was so angry that he was still careful when speaking, not daring to say too much.
La Peikang didn't respond, so he hung up the phone directly.
Looking at him now, he already had a frosty look on his face, and his aura was even more frightening, as if he was keeping away from strangers.
"Director Han, you heard it too, I have to go back...to deal with this matter tomorrow."
La Peikang suppressed his emotions and said goodbye to Han Sanping expressionlessly, but The expressions of the latter and Han Jianu allowed him to see some "clues".
"Pacific Rim" is currently the most successful Sino-foreign co-production. Director Han was praised by the bureau at the time, but now China Film Group has been kicked out of the sequel! Director Han, why do you look so little Aren’t you surprised? There are beautiful girls?”
"I..."
After all, she was young, so Han Jia Nyeo couldn't hold back and was about to speak, but she immediately reacted and looked at her biological father, who was her supporter and harbor.
La Peikang stared at Han Sanping and saw the "Mountain Eagle" holding up the teacup calmly:
"I knew it last year, but what can I do? Lin Nanna He has a good temper and is easy to talk to, but once he makes up his mind, even ten cows can't get him back. What's more important is..."
Han Sanping looked at La Peikang. , with a stronger tone: "What's more important is that China Film is not the only state-owned enterprise in China! Xiying is worth it."
The living room fell silent again, and La Peikang seemed not to have heard Han Sanping's words.
"Director Han, I'm leaving first. China Film will not give up on this matter."
After a long time, La Peikang said coldly. He picked up the document bag on the table, turned around and walked towards the door of the villa.
Han Jianu followed up with a wink, wanting to give him a gift, but La Peikang remained indifferent until the sound of a car starting about twenty seconds later made her return to the living room.
"Dad, uncle La?"
"Hey, don't worry about him. It was pretty good when I first took office. It's only been two and a half years. But he's greedy for merit, conservative, and irresponsible... all of Bo Liang's shortcomings suddenly appeared.
< br>No one owes him anything, everything is mutual. Any major capital or film and television giant in the industry will have no impact without China Film Group, let alone Lin Nan! "
Han Sanping was drinking tea! , "criticized" La Peikang mercilessly.
Back then, Huayi was able to backstab Han Sanping who supported them, and was not afraid of China Film at all, let alone Lin Nan Pictures now!
"Then, I'll call Senior Brother Lin and talk about it." Han Jianu muttered and went upstairs.
Looking at his daughter, Han Sanping smiled. He had a clear attitude, which was good.
......
There are several bags of cat food and dog food at the door of the villa, and Director Lin is feeding them.
Even in Hengdian, Liu Yifei couldn't worry about these little things and made a video call to remind Lin Nan.
“I am a great director, but since I fell into your hands, I have had an extra job as a breeder.”
"Oh, just have fun, hee hee..."
