Chapter 974: China Film, fate is over; "Wolf Warrior 2" investment division!
In the office, there was an unusual silence.
Yue Jun and others all looked at Wang Yong intentionally or unintentionally. This chairman of Xiying is really "fierce"!
Even Director Zhang of Xiying lowered his head deliberately at this moment, letting his head be empty, his eyes distracted, his mind wandering, trying to be as low-key as possible.
It’s okay for the chairman to point his nose at Peikang, but his subordinates can’t have any “weird” expressions, which is taboo within the system.
Looking at Lin Nan again, he was expressionless and silent, as if he had nothing to do with him;
Ren Zhonglun was in a stunned state, swallowing his saliva with a look of astonishment on his face. Are those in the northwest so reckless? Even he didn't dare to openly humiliate La Peikang like this. This was so bloody that it stabbed him in the heart!
As for La Peikang, his face was livid and his breathing was rapid; everyone could see that he was obviously on the verge of breaking out.
“In the eyes of Director Wang, China Film and Television has become an industry villain who bullies the market, uses power to suppress others, promotes favors over rivals, and suppresses and exploits partners?”
La Pai Kang stared at Wang Yong with obvious bloodshot eyes.
"Haha, looking at the domestic films that have been small and famous or have box office appeal since the project was established, to the large-scale production projects with great prospects and political achievements, how many of them have not been affected by China Film Group?
Most For high-quality projects, China Film Group Corporation’s name can always be found on the producer side; for low-quality projects, China Film Group Corporation will appear on the producer or distributor side... Is there no other state-owned enterprise in the film and television industry that is so big? In the industry, without China Film Group, the project will really not be possible? Are all of them voluntary? Or are they more or less willing to pay protection fees? "
Okay? Guys, Lin Nan was not calm now: Chairman Wang, can this kind of thing be said directly? Can it be interpreted this way?
Lin Nan glanced aside slightly. At this moment, Ren Zhonglun's expression was even more complicated. His admiration and "frightened" eyes were undisguised and naked.
In the office, except for the four "leaders", all the others had turned into quails and were made of wood before Wang Yong finished speaking.
How to describe La Peikang at this moment?
He was like a bull with red eyes, but his hooves were completely restrained and his horns were removed by Wang Yong's words. He had nowhere to vent his anger and could only hold it back and suppress it in his heart.
Because the reality is just as Wang Yong said, it is exactly the same!
It’s just that no one has ever dared to point it out so nakedly, and use sharp, straightforward, and to the point words, offending China Film without any scruples!
"Well said, well said..."
La Peikang said coldly and hoarsely, and it could be heard that he was suppressing his emotions as much as possible. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Lin Nan:
“You think so too?”
“Me? La Dong, my circle is actually very small, not big.”
< br>Lin Nan was speechless. He did not answer directly, but this was also an answer: He has a small circle and does not understand the situations that Director Wang mentioned.
But there are no idiots here. Lin Nan is just avoiding the frontal problem and saving dignity for La Pai Kang.
His circle is small, but does he really not know what Wang Yong said? He is not blind!
"Okay, today's trip was not in vain...it was not in vain...Director Wang, you have learned a lesson...The group still has something to do, so I will leave first."
The calmer it gets. , after the outbreak, the more...
At this moment, in the eyes of Lin Nan and others, La Peikang almost staggered when he got up, which gave people this feeling; he was still holding back and suppressing , If Wang Yong doesn’t save him face, he has to save it himself.
"Director Yue, help me see off Director La."
Lin Nan blurted out subconsciously, La Peikang did not refuse.
Yue Jun understood and immediately opened the door of the conference room himself. La Peikang took his entourage and walked out without looking back.
The office was quiet for another minute. Ren Zhonglun looked at Lin Nan, then at Wang Yong, and couldn't help but said:
"Dr. Wang, what you said about China Film The problem, to be precise, started with Director Han.”
Wang Yong looked directly at Ren Zhonglun. He did not refute immediately, and his aura was not as "overbearing" as before:
"It started from Director Han, but Director Lao has become even more aggressive and eager for quick success, right? ?
And he only inherited Director Han’s domineering temperament, but did not inherit Director Han’s pioneering spirit, responsibility to support the weak in the industry, and character of equal treatment and respect for partners..."
Ren Zhonglun opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say.
Xiying, which was unknown in the past, has opened everyone’s eyes today.
"So, it's because of China Film and Television Film and Television that suffered the disaster?" Ren Zhonglun looked at Lin Nan.
Not entirely, half of it.
Lin Nan did not comment, but said in a joking tone: "Dong Ren, just accompany him, otherwise China Film Group will really have no dignity at all."
"You This is really human talk! Haha..."
Ren Zhonglun grimaced and laughed angrily.
But he knew that even La Peikang ended up in this embarrassing "situation" today, so there would be no chance for Shanghai Film Academy; or in other words, there was no need to "force" anymore, because there was no chance at all.
But fortunately, Shanghai Film has now reestablished a good cooperative relationship with Lin Nan. Although it is difficult to return to the time before "Painted Skin 2"... but it is enough, at least it is much better than China Film. !
After we stopped talking about business, the atmosphere in the office became much better. Industry gossip, movie market... chatter and laughter gradually started.
Downstairs of Lin Nan Pictures, La Peikang stopped and looked back for a while. He looked at a certain floor of the building and remained silent for a long time.
“La Dong, aren’t we going back?”
La Peikang frowned, as if he didn't hear the secretary's voice. After a moment, he lowered his hoarse voice: "Go... call and ask... go to Director Han..."
"Okay. ”
The China Film Group and the others finally followed La Peikang into the car, and Yue Jun left the window on the third floor.
In the evening, around five o'clock.
Lin Nan sent Wang Yong, Ren Zhonglun and others out of the company. Looking at the fleet of cars leaving, Director Lin pinched his eyebrows:
"It's good to be separated from China Film Group. At least I won't have so many worries in the future. I feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden."
"Director Lin, are you sure this won't turn into an enemy?" Yue Jun asked bitterly. Dao, still a little worried.
"Turn each other against each other? If they really turned against each other, then our Ladong Ke would really have to carry the saying 'Rise rice with kindness and rival rice with hatred'!
He has always thought highly of himself and wanted to surpass Director Han. If he is really so small-minded, he should stop dreaming as soon as possible, although this is just a dream...
As Director Wang said, ability, character, and structure I can't compare to Director Han in everything... I was too close to Director Han before, and now I just want to return to a simple, ordinary 'friend' relationship with China Film Group!"
...
What does it mean to come over during dinner? Want to eat? I was so embarrassed yesterday afternoon!
Han Jia Nu glanced at the exquisite clock at home. It was exactly six o'clock in the evening, dinner time.
But in the past, there was an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table where there used to be only two people, father and daughter.
While eating, La Peikang rambled on about today's "humiliation" process. La Peikang couldn't see any emotion or anger, as if he had already vented his anger, and now he was just frowning.
Han Sanping didn't answer until he handed the rice bowl as big as his fist to Han Jianu, who understood and went to the kitchen to add rice. Then he spoke:
"Wang Yong is right, these two You have indeed crossed the line, getting deeper and deeper.”
As a retired person, there is nothing Han Sanping dares to say; To save face, now that Xiying has exposed it, he will no longer hide it.
What's more, even if he said it before, would La Peikang listen? The answer is absolutely impossible. Mr. Han has a very clear understanding of this successor.
Not only did La Peikang not listen before, but after today, he still won’t learn the lesson;
Any China Film Chairman will go his own way. This is the attribute of the current leader and cannot be changed!
Just like himself, Lin Nan reminded and advised him so many times, but he still stumbled when he should, and jumped into the same trap several times in a row... Damn Wu Yusen!
"Director Han?"
La Peikang's voice contained no emotion or anger. This was not what he came here to hear.
"La Dong, let's get together and part ways."
"Dr. Han?"
La Peikang shouted again, in a more serious tone.
“Let’s get together and part ways. Lin Nan and Lin Nan Pictures grew into towering trees under my nose. They really don’t owe China Film Industry anything. Even if they did owe something, it would have been long ago. Return it.
Since he wants to, then do what he wants. Forcing this kind of thing will only be counterproductive and annoying..."
Han Sanping said calmly, he was only responsible for saying that as for La Peikang's reaction and attitude, that was La Peikang's business.
"Yes, Lin Nan owes China Film nothing, all the favors belong to Director Han!"
When these words are spoken, it means that today's meal is here.
Han Sanping did not get up to send his meal, but shook his head and continued to pick up the dishes.
“Uncle La is gone?”
Student Xiao Han was really stuck, and he filled the bowl with one-third of the rice in his hand.
"If you don't come out, I'm going to look for you in the kitchen. Although our home is a villa, the kitchen isn't a maze, right? Is it that big?"
"It's not you. Are you hinting at me? Besides, Uncle La's expression affects my appetite..."
Han Jianu handed the rice bowl to Lao Han with a smile, then sat down and continued to cook.
"Dad, what is the situation now? My senior brother Lin and China Film Group have completely fallen out? Such a childish trick of turning against each other will not really happen, will it?"
Han Jianyu asked her biological father "sneakily", trying to get some information so that she could go...
"What status do everyone have? How could such a thing happen? It's not like that. Just like China Film and Hua Yi did... you are overthinking it."
Han Sanping laughed silently at himself for kissing his daughter, but the smile on his face disappeared in the next second, and he said with emotion:< br>
"It's just that fate has really ended here."
"Huh? Fate has ended!" Han Jianu exclaimed, still a little surprised by the excitement.
"Well, that's right. The market is getting bigger and bigger, and state-owned enterprises are getting smaller and smaller.
For Lin Nan, China Film is even a burden, lying on the body to suck blood... Who can let La Pai Kang I’m not doing anything, but I still want to tie people up.”
At this point, Han Sanping’s expression changed again, but it was just a smile.
He looked at Han Jianu, his eyes were very soft, and he was a little complacent:
"But the fate has been separated, it is just the fate between China Film and Lin Nan. This does not include Our father and son!”
"Oh, Old Han, are you admitting that when you were in office, you used the public for personal gain?" Han Jianu began to leak the news again.
"What are you talking about, you damn girl? You're going to make me mad, right?"
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. Come, eat some food, I'll pick it up for you. ”
…………
The next morning, it was just as Lin Nan guessed.
Although the first-day box office of "Zootopia" was only 22.42 million, its amazing reputation caused the theaters to directly increase the film schedule by more than 6 points.
I believe that the box office revenue on the second day will definitely increase exponentially, several times.
At the same time, Liu Yifei changed her return ticket to early in the morning because she had an appointment with Wu Gan and Guang Guang for lunch.
As a result, Director Lin Da was forced to leave home at eight o'clock to pick up people at the airport. Because Liu Yifei's flight will arrive at the Capital Airport around 10 o'clock.
There don’t seem to be many movies released in March, but there are still quite a few blockbusters.
At half past nine, when Lin Nan arrived outside the airport, he could clearly see several huge movie billboards and posters:
Leonardo's "The Revenant", Summit Entertainment's "Gods of War: Thrones" "Eye", Warner's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"... are all imported blockbusters with box office appeal!
In comparison, those domestic films are a bit out of the spotlight, and you can only see relevant promotional news online. "Los Angeles Trouble" starring Xia Yu, Song Zuer, and Yang Zi starred in "The Revenant"; "The Uninvited Guest" by Li Ming, Geng Le, and Han Caiying...
Good Well, we don’t see any box office advantage from these movies. Anyway, if Lin Nan were a viewer, he would definitely choose to watch those imported movies when he entered the theater!
It's exactly ten o'clock!
White sneakers, wide-leg ripped denim trousers, a white t-shirt over a denim top, big sunglasses, a baseball cap, a high ponytail, exquisite makeup, and red lips...youthful, beautiful, and beautiful!
Lin Nan "caught" Liu Yifei in the crowd at a glance. She was a little girl, and she even deliberately walked away from her assistant!
However, although it seems that you are traveling lightly, it is really easy to fish in troubled waters to avoid paparazzi and entertainment reporters.
No, a group of reporters chased a few assistants pulling suitcases, and when they arrived at the RV in Hongxingwu, they realized that they had been tricked;
And Liu Yifei fell into Lin Nan's arms. Well, it smelled light, sweet, mixed with body fragrance.
"Get in the car quickly, be careful not to be discovered, hehe." Liu Yifei broke away from Lin Nan's arms and urged with a smile.
"Well, let's go."
I have to say that Liu Xiaoli's car does not drive out often, so it is indeed not easy to be noticed by the paparazzi.
As soon as Liu Yifei got into the passenger seat, she took off her sunglasses and hat, untied her ponytail, and her long hair fell out as she shook her head, looking very charming.
"Lin Nan, let's go."
Liu Yifei smiled and pointed forward, directing Lin Nan.
“Well, let’s go.”
Director Lin stepped on the accelerator and the car jumped out.
Producer Liu opened the chat interface, which contained a message from Xie Nan about the location of the lunch stop. She continued the message before boarding the plane and replied.
…
Light.
Yesterday, the news that three big guys from West Film, China Film and Shanghai Film Group gathered at Lin Nan Pictures has spread in the circle.
Although most people are not aware of it. The specific reasons are unknown, but the curiosity is endless.
But among them, Wang Changtian is not included.
At this time, he was drinking tea with Wu Dan, counting the time, and preparing to go to the dinner together later.
As for why Wu Gan was waiting in the light? Isn't it because Xie Nan is a contracted host of Guangguang? After she finishes recording the show, they can set off together.
“Director Wang, it makes me uncomfortable to see you holding back what you want to say!”
“Oh, forget it, I can’t hide it for a few days anyway.
Let me tell you, although I didn't go to Lin Nan's place yesterday afternoon, I can guess what the situation was like at that time
That scene was absolutely explosive, with a strong smell of gunpowder, and it was even a real fire, and the face was torn..."
"Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen to it? "Wu Dan smiled. Please forgive him for being a reckless man and not thinking bright enough!
"The project of "Pacific Rim 2" was approved, but Lin Nan kicked China Film out of the movie and did not give Shanghai Film a share. Give Xiying a hand! The three families went to Lin Nan Pictures, think about it? "
Hearing this, Wu Gan immediately widened his eyes, swallowed his saliva and said:
"Yes, now I can also imagine the scene. This is to offend China Film. Dead? ”
Wang Changtian said nothing, just smiled and shook his head. I talked to Lin Nan on the phone last night, and he was shocked by Xiying's "poor and arrogant" character. He was really awesome!
"Director Wang, Director Wu, we can set off."
After Wang Changtian and Wu Gen joked for a few more minutes, Xie Nan got off work. She knocked on the open door of her office and shouted with a smile.
“Then let’s go.”
Wang Changtian stood up first.
Wu Gan picked up his backpack and then took Xie Nan's bag, very consciously and winkingly!
Noon, five minutes past 12 o'clock.
Wang Changtian led his secretary, Wu Gan and Xie Nan to the agreed upon high-end restaurant.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were already waiting here, tasting small pastries.
“The host arrived late. Yifei and I have been waiting for twenty minutes.”
Lin Nan complained about Wu Dan, Liu Yifei nodded with a smile, and then waved to Xie Nan, who sat on her left side.
“He really has to make amends.” Wang Changtian sat on Lin Nan’s right side and joked in agreement.
While Wu Gan was confirming the serving of food with the foreman of the box, he turned around and said with a smile: "No problem, I will punish myself with three drinks in a while... Well, add another bottle of wine..."
"Drink less!" Xie Nan looked at Wu Dan angrily.
“Oh, isn’t this going to take money out of the pockets of Producer Liu and Director Wang? Can’t I show my sincerity?”
Good guy, as soon as Wu Gan said these words, everyone present immediately became happy.
Ten minutes later, nearly 30 dishes were placed on the table with a dazzling array of dishes. The bright red in the two decanters was also extremely eye-catching.
The waiters dispersed, leaving only five people in the private room.
While everyone was changing glasses, Wu Gan opened the backpack he brought and took out a collection of three budgets, crew preparations, and shooting plans.
Wang Changtian has one share, Liu Yifei and Lin Nan share one share, and Wu Gen and Xie Nan keep one share for themselves.
"Yifei, Director Lin, Director Wang, this is the budget for "Wolf Warrior 2"."
"What? Two hundred million!"
Wang Changtian was given the budget number Shocked, a military-themed commercial film has a budget of 200 million? If you say this, which colleague will not scold you?
The production costs of Enlight’s own movies rarely exceed hundreds of millions! Does Wu Pan think he is Lin Nan? Or do you think you are Guo Fan, Lu Yang and the others?
"Dr. Wang, please listen to me first. The budget is very high, but it is all spent on production. This time we have to go abroad for filming and training...many troops cannot have all the things. It’s all for nothing, even on warships... I want to make a military and commercial blockbuster with real swords and guns..."
Wu Gan began to "lobby" Qi Kai in a nonchalant manner. His energy at this moment was completely different from before, he was serious and eager to the extreme.
Lin Nan was eating and listening to Wu Gen's detailed introduction, while Liu Yifei and Xie Nan looked at the budget sheet; Director Wu's wise wife was helping her director and saying good things.
“Is your stall a little too big? With a budget of 200 million, you need at least 600 million in box office to make back the money, and this kind of movie cannot be sold abroad. Copyright! The box office of the first part has just reached 700 million, I remember it is 706 million, right?" Wang Changtian frowned slightly and looked at Wu Gan and asked.
Wu Gan was speechless immediately, because what Wang Changtian said was right; for a military commercial film with an investment of 200 million yuan, the risks are indeed very high, and there is no way to argue with it.
"But the market has doubled, hasn't it, Director Wang?"
Wu Gan could only find this reason. Who said that two hundred million is really a lot.
Lin Nan could tell that Wang Changtian did have some concerns. Wu Gan didn't have the qualifications, status, and box office appeal that would make him willing to pay for his favors!
"You were the one who took the initiative to join us and invest, but now you are the one who is hesitant. I really don’t know what to say to you, Director Wang!"
Lin Nan smiled Making fun of Wang Changtian helped Wu Dan relieve a wave of pressure, and the latter immediately smiled.
"How do you feel about the budget, crew preparation, and shooting plan?"
Wang Changtian turned his attention to Liu Yifei next to Lin Nan and asked.
Liu Qianqian tugged on Lin Nan's sleeve, their eyes met, and she nodded, her watery eyes extremely lively. Lin Nan said nothing, only gave a supportive smile.
"Director Wang, there is no problem with Hongxingwu. According to the contract with Director Wu for "Wolf Warrior", I will invest 40% of the share in "Wolf Warrior 2"!"
Listen When Liu Yifei said such categorical words, Xie Nan and Wu Gan immediately smiled with joy.
"Thank you, Yifei." Xie Nan thanked her.
"Thank you so much, Producer Liu."
"The light is just like 30%!" Wang Changtian gritted his teeth and reported a number.
The reason why he cut through the mess quickly was not because he believed in Wu Dan, but because he believed that Lin Nan would not cheat his wife!
But as soon as Wang Changtian finished speaking, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei saw Wu Gen showing an expression of embarrassment and helplessness, as did Xie Nan.
"What's wrong with you two?" Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks and asked doubtfully.
“It’s not your own investment that can’t keep up, right?” Lin Nan guessed as he put a piece of charcoal-roasted wagyu into his mouth.
Hearing this, Wang Changtian looked at Wu Gan in shock, "It can't be true, right? You still vowed last year that you would invest part of it?"
"But then "I didn't expect the budget to be 200 million right now?" Wu Dan spread his hands and became cheeky.
"Then how much can you two bring out?" Before Lin Nan could say anything, Wang Changtian asked first.
I saw Xie Nan replying for Wu Gao: "We, as a couple, can only spend 40 million at most. This is still..."
At this point, Xie Nan glanced at Wu Gao, who was vague. He made a gesture with his eyes; then, he didn't say anything about the mortgage of the property.
"That's 20%?"
Wang Changtian nodded and muttered, and then saw him looking at Wu Gan, and then winking with a funny expression:
"Here, there are two wealthy people sitting over there. It has only been two months this year, and the box office has made more than 800 million, although the split of "Detective Chinatown" has not been released yet, and "Mermaid" is still in theaters... ”
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were both speechless, because Wu Gan and Xie Nan really looked at them with "pleasant" looks.
"Director Lin, what do you think of this?"
"Yifei, Producer Liu?"
The couple are quite in sync!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. After two or three seconds, Miss Liu puffed up her cheeks and smiled softly: "How about you come and we can come together?"
"A husband and wife team in the production company?" Lin Nan smiled.
"Yeah, husband and wife team!"
Seeing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's playful tone and playful look, Wu Gan and the others knew that the matter was done.
"The last 10% share will come from Lin Nan Pictures."
Lin Nan looked at Wu Gan and Wang Changtian and nodded happily.
"Haha, Director Lin, Yifei, I won't say anything else, it's all in this glass of wine... No, waiter, bring me a bottle of Moutai..."
Wu Gan was about to express his intention to Bottle blow!
