Chapter 981 The Promise in Bed; LeTV Pictures Shareholders Meeting
“Although it is a movie for fun and fun, I have already polished it repeatedly when I wrote the outline;
The script written by the screenwriting department has been revised several times, and I have read them all. At least I can guarantee that its story is complete, focusing on light comedy and fantasy and love elements in an urban setting.
In addition, when we are filming, if we have inspiration on the spot, we can also make changes while filming, and we can make changes at any time on the spot. My requirements are not high, as long as the film passes, everyone can use it as they like!”
At the dinner table, Lin Nan once again talked to Ning Hao about "Second Generation Fairy". Since it is him and Liu Yifei who will act, there can be no mistakes in the script.
"Good guy, make changes while filming, make changes at any time and shoot at any time? Now I really believe what you say: I made this movie just for fun!"
Ning Hao took a sip of beer and laughed. Making fun of Lin Nan.
"Why do you have the idea of making a light comedy romance film to spice things up and have fun?" Xing Aina was very puzzled and asked Miss Liu next to her.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei was happy at first, and then immediately changed her face; she glared at Lin Nan fiercely, and then answered Xing Aina:
"According to the plan , this "Second Generations" was filmed immediately after the completion of another movie "Marriage Story", and the atmosphere of "Marriage Story" is very similar to the previous "The Fault in Our Stars";
The two of us will get tired of life, get tired of each other, separate, break up, and get divorced in the movie... Lin Nan is afraid that after I finish filming this movie, I will be depressed for a long time like I was after "The Fault in Our Stars" was completed.
So I thought of using the fantasy love comedy "Second Generation Fairy" to change my mood and state. Isn't it just for fun? "
Hearing Liu Yifei's explanation, Xing Aina and Ning Hao suddenly realized.
"You two are still good at playing, Lin Nan is really serious. ”
Producer Xing looked at Liu Yifei with a thumbs up and praised Lin Nan.
Immediately, she glanced at Ning Hao, who felt guilty for a while, and quickly turned to director Lin Da, changing the topic:
""Marriage Story", the name is a film for awards?"
< br>"Well, it is a romantic and literary drama with a realistic theme, which is very suitable for the film festival route. In fact, the reasons Yifei said for filming "Second Generation Fairy" are not complete, and there is still one missing."
"That's fine. Is there any reason that we don’t know?”
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Xing Aina asked. Including Liu Hanhan, all three people looked over.
"Because I have joked with Sissi many times before, saying that I would let her play the role of a vixen in the future. Well, if you marry her, you have to fulfill your promise now, right? Hehe..."
"Oh, I'm so envious. You, Yifei.
Before I got married, someone made a lot of promises to me, but after all these years, I haven’t seen any of them fulfilled. I guess I should have given up on them! ?”
While Xing Ai was being arrogant and Ning Hao was begging for mercy with a smile, Liu Yifei was glaring at Lin Nan with a pink face;
Because the latter joked many times about letting her act. When they were vixens, both of them were in bed...it just ended...
Director Lin Da is so thick-skinned that he doesn’t care about Liu Hanhan’s “anger” and even gives him an innocent smile;
Well, Liu Hanhan’s face is now pink and murderous. , it’s so beautiful!
Not long after, the "chilling" atmosphere in the restaurant box was "jointly" dispelled by Ning Hao and Lin Nan.
While changing glasses, Director Ning sentimentally lamented for the nth time about reality-themed movies. He was inspired by Lin Nan's another award-winning film "Marriage Story".
Ever since "No Man's Land", Ning Hao's energy and spirit have been completely dispersed and wiped out;
Even now, there is still desire deep in his heart, but he can't raise the energy at all; he was hurt too deeply and the psychological shadow was too heavy.
“The film started filming in early 2009 and was released at the end of 2013. It’s been so long. Cheer up and go for the awards. Are you an ideal film director in the beginning?”
"Haha, it's not that easy. It's getting harder and harder."
Who is not a teenager when we talk about dreams? Ning Hao smiled bitterly. Neither Xing Aina nor Liu Yifei interrupted, but ate and watched quietly.
“Is it difficult?”
"Are you speaking in human language?"
"I heard from the grapevine two days ago that Feng Xiaogang's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has been registered for the San Sebastian International Film Festival. This year he can You are 58 years old and still competing for awards! How old are you, how can you give up?
We all know that in this industry, a big director cannot live without international awards and influence. Yes, this will make you less confident, less convincing, and less complete! Just like Feng Xiaogang, who is always angry and angry."
Lin Nan borrowed from Feng Xiaogang to encourage Ning Hao.
Xing Aina nodded in agreement: "Lin Nan is right, don't you sigh and regret from time to time? Commercial films are just money, and we are not short of money now..."
At this moment, Liu Yifei's watery eyes were shining, and she looked at Lin Nan with a smile on her face, feeling very proud. Because we have no shortage of trophies, and they are all grand prizes.
“Go for prizes? Hey, I really want to, but...it’s tiring just thinking about it. It’s easy to put all your efforts into vain in an instant. And once there is no gain, there is a high probability that It’s a lot to pay.”
Ning Hao shook his head, looked at Lin Nan bitterly, and said jokingly: “Since you are so experienced in going to the film festival, you can help me later. ?”
Lin Nan was stunned. He didn’t expect Ning Hao to say such a request for help, as if he was joking; but he could also tell that Ning Hao was using a joke to cover up. It’s self-esteem, but it’s really a desire!
"Me? Okay, let's talk about it later, if there is a chance. After all, it's not just the work that has the final say in winning the prize."
Lin Nan pointedly said that the direction of the wind, the preferences of the jury...these are all uncertain factors that can affect the outcome.
But Lin Nan will take notice. After all, Ning Hao and he are old friends who have known each other for 13 years. It is not an exaggeration to call them besties!
And at the General Administration's "Opinions on Dealing with Bad Artists" conference the year before last, Ning Hao did not hesitate to offend the entire industry and publicly expressed his support for Lin Nan.
At that time, only three private companies publicly supported Lin Nan—Enlight, Wanda, and Bad Monkey!
“Haha, okay, I’m waiting for you to be the chairman of the jury of the International Category A Film Festival, just like Zhang Yimou and Li An did back then, promoting each other!”
"That's right."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too." Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks with a smile. She was looking forward to Lin Nan becoming the chairman of the jury.
......
The people at Xiying are really awesome. Only about ten days have passed and they have already started to rush the approval process of "Pacific Rim 2".
In a word, they want to get the documents that have been approved and successfully filed in early April. They really only give the bureau one month.
On the morning of the 20th, when Lin Nan heard the news, he collapsed on the sofa with laughter;
Having such a partner, it is indeed very "safe" and does not need to worry about him. , because Xiying cares more about him than him!
Looking at the Internet again, there is no need to guess that the focus of the entire Internet today is the information about the wedding of Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi in Bali.
It should have started at four or five in the morning, and the hot searches on Weibo were all over the place.
What about the 3 million yuan wedding dress, 12 million yuan jewelry, which celebrity updates Bali photos on Weibo, and the sunrise sea view...
Although there is such a large amount of traffic, the discussion has not exploded, which is surprising.
However, all the gossip circulating in the circle yesterday came true: Cai Yinong, Hu Ge and other Tang members did not go.
The previous "Step by Step" crew included 6 actors including Yuan Hong, but only Lin Gengxin was missing...
In the film market, "Crazy Animals" "City" took 16 days to break and refresh the highest box office record for an animated film created by "The Return of the Monkey King" in the domestic film market;
The box office record of 1.366 billion was refreshed to 1.4 billion.
The daily box office of more than 20 million yuan and the overwhelmingly good reputation indicates that "Zootopia" can easily reach 1.5 billion!
As for other movies, "The Revenant" has strong momentum. On the second day of its release, the box office increased by another 20 million, with a revenue of more than 83 million.
Political factors aside, this movie is indeed a rare good movie.
"Director Lin, it looks like "Mermaid" is not going to work. Yesterday's daily box office was only 1.45 million..."
Lin Nan was shocked when she received the call from Yue Jun. Jump. "Is the drop so exaggerated? I remember there were more than 16 million a few days ago?"
“That’s a flashback! With so many new movies released, especially “The Revenant” and “Zootopia,” the few remaining potential audiences for “Mermaid” have been sucked away. And pirated copies are already out on the Internet.”
While Lin Nan and Yue Jun were on the phone, China Film was also discussing "Mermaid".
After all, it is impossible for the total box office of the movie to exceed 3.5 billion as La Peikang expected.
"The Japanese box office is falling too fast and there is no way to 'save' it, otherwise it will be too fake and will be scolded by public opinion. China Film and Shanghai Film are both state-owned enterprises, and this is not a mission film..."
La Peikang's secretary explained to Zhou Xingchi that the stock price of the latter's Bigo Group had risen a lot in the past month or so, so much so that he had some bad thoughts at the moment.
"Just let nature take its course. Don't do things that are not worth the gain or loss. It's not worth it."
Although La Peikang was a little reluctant, he still told Zhou Xingchi again and again. He knew that Zhou Xingchi was a man who loved money as much as his life, but China Film's reputation was more important.
Zhou Xingchi opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out. In the Mainland, he still needs to rely on China Film Group.
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, instantly attracting the attention of several people in the office.
"Come in."
"Lao Dong, Mr. Wang from Huayi, Mr. Liu from Wanda, Mr. Zhang from Alibaba... and Director Xu Ke are all already at the conference hall."
Hearing this, La Peikang immediately looked at Zhou Xingchi: "Let's go, Director Zhou, let's go discuss "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons";
I hope it can be like "Journey to the West" in 2013 "Conquering the Demon" is as brilliant as this year's "Mermaid" during the Spring Festival."
"Okay, La Dong"
A few seconds later, Director La, Zhou Xingchi and others left the chairman's office and went straight to the China Film Conference Hall.
……
Near noon, the Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee officially announced the list of all participating films this year, attracting attention from the industry and gaining popularity online.
"The 33rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards announced this morning the list of all participating films.
Among them, "Get Out!" is exclusively produced and produced by Lin Nan Pictures. Five movies with high box office and high reputation, including "Tumor King", "Xiu Chun Dao 2 Shura Battlefield", "Charlotte", "Hong Kong", and "The Secret of the Dragon" are all included in the publicity documents."
"It is reported that the military action film "Wolf Warrior" produced by Hongxingwu Pictures and directed by Wu Gan is also on the list of entries for the Hundred Flowers Awards."
"In response to the fact that Lin Nan's films did not appear on the list of entries for the Hundred Flowers Awards. , the media has called Lin Nan Film Director Yue Jun;
The latter said in an interview: Because Director Lin already has a lot of awards, he himself declined the invitation and decided to send as many awards as possible. opportunity to compete with other film works and filmmakers."
The announcement of the Hundred Flowers Award registration list and the content of Yue Jun's reply to the media interviews, these two things were superimposed, and Wu Qilong and Liu were directly involved. The popularity of Shi Shi's wedding has been suppressed, and the Internet is even hotter.
“What does it mean to ‘have a lot of awards and give up as many opportunities as possible to other films and filmmakers’? This pretense is so fresh and refined, I admire it!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Director Lin is only in his early 30s, and now he starts to support the 'newcomers'?"
"Upstairs, are you going to laugh me to death? Do you know that everything you said? Newcomers, they are all older than Director Lin Nan! Haha..."
"I wonder how the Golden Rooster Committee feels at this moment? Director Lin's attitude towards Baihua is ten thousand times more distressed. That chicken!”
“Isn’t anyone paying attention? Together, these five films from Lin Nan Pictures can almost sweep the list of the 221 films that have signed up for the Hundred Flowers Award”
"Dear directed by Chen Kexin, "Scorched Heart" directed by Cao Baoping, "Wolf Totem", "Monster Hunt", and "Old Paoer" are also worthy of a battle!"< br>
...
In the afternoon, when Lin Nan left home to go to the company, Liu Yifei was taking a call from Shu Chang;
The latter was chattering with excitement. After all, she had signed up for two movies. Hundred Flowers Award, and they are all movies with good reputation and box office, so I have great hopes...
Originally, according to the regulations of co-productions, people from Lin Nan Pictures were not qualified to be behind the scenes of the crew of "Pacific Rim 2" The team's;
But who made Lin Nan Pictures and Crystal Pictures the difference between Lin Nan's right and left hands, so this backdoor was opened naturally.
"Lin, Warner and Lionsgate's plan is to start the project team in early May, so the departure time for the Chinese team will be early May.
In addition, the Chinese actors in the co-production will also be needed by your side at the latest It will be determined in early May;
Because the team will then design makeup that suits the actors and make each person's combat uniform based on their appearance and appearance..."
Tom's The call was made on time. As soon as Lin Nan sat down, the call came.
“I got it, Tom.”
"Lin, after the filming starts, part of the scenes will be shot in China. I'll come over to you and Crystal then?"
"Then you have a long time to wait, it will take more than half a year. Okay. , I won’t waste your time of having fun.”
Lin Nan could vaguely hear the noise around Tom; as for what the occasion was, hehe, there was no need to guess.
"Lin, say hello to Crystal for me, see you later, haha..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan saw the online movie "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" in which Huayi participated in the investment , Zhu Yawen also forwarded the news on Weibo that the summer vacation is scheduled for July 15.
Thinking about it now, it turns out that Huayi was interested in Ye Ning as early as the first half of last year; so as one of the producers, they invited Ye Ning to be one of the producers? !
After handling some trivial documents, Lin Nan went to the screenwriting department and stayed for a long time.
The "Wandering Earth" project team is dismantling the novel. The workload is a bit large and the progress is indeed slow.
But there is no rush, because the most indispensable thing at present is time, and slow work and careful work are the key;
Furthermore, Liu Diangong has also agreed to serve as a screenwriter consultant, and will provide it when the time comes. Help to make the script as close to the atmosphere of the original work as possible to meet the expectations of all movie fans.
Arriving late and leaving early is the prerogative of Lin Nan, the boss.
After he left the company at about four o'clock in the afternoon, many front-line and big names in the industry also received excited and excited calls one after another at the same time, including Zhang Yimou.
"Director Zhang, on the 25th of this month, please be sure to attend the shareholders meeting of LeTV Pictures in person."
"What is the specific matter?"
Although it is vague There were speculations, but Zhang Yimou still asked, with a rare smile of joy on his face.
"Regarding the subsequent disguised listing of the company and the realization of the value of the shares held by star shareholders, we need to inform, negotiate and discuss with all shareholders so that everyone can make a decision... You are the largest individual shareholder in the industry, please Be sure to be there!"
"Okay, okay, I will go to the company in person on the 25th."
Zhang Yimou said "ok" twice, and he was already in a state of excitement.
His shares in LeTV Pictures are worth several hundred million if calculated according to the current market valuation!
Having been partnered with Zhang Weiping for 16 years, he has been "poor" for 16 years; didn't he put his heart into making movies? Pay attention! But...after the partnership broke up, he saw the income!
In just over an hour, nearly 20 first- and second-tier film and television stars and celebrities in the film and television industry, including Guo Jingming, Deng Chao, Sun Li Studio, Sun Honglei, Li Xiaolu, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, and Yang Ying, all received calls. Telephone notification from LeTV Pictures.
Just like the shareholders' meetings held before the listing of many listed companies, at this moment, the people in these circles all think so, and they are all in a state of overjoyment.
In their eyes, LeTV Pictures is one of the best unlisted companies in the film and television industry;
Once it completes the disguised listing and completes the process, then in their hands The stocks can be directly liquidated immediately, and the value will definitely increase more than a hundred times, and the own assets will skyrocket!
