Chapter 988 Schedule confirmed: "Operation Mekong" VS "Railway Tiger"?
One night passed and time entered April.
The successful conclusion of the "Mermaid" celebration dinner also means that the movie has actually been released early, because there are only one or two thousand yuan left at the daily box office.
The entire film industry seems to be eagerly waiting for Zhou Xingchi's next work - "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons";
Yes, from the film industry's point of view, this film "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" belongs to Zhou Xingchi, and it is deeply imprinted with his label; as for Xu Ke, he has no sense of existence!
...
"Produced by Huayi, co-produced by Toyo Mira Pictures and Yaolai Pictures, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, Dong Chengpeng, Yu Hewei, Zhang Jiayi and others;
The realistic drama film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is officially scheduled for November 18th... Director Feng claims that the film is his own work and has been registered for international film festivals. ”
"After a few days, the listed company LeTV once again issued a "Notice to the Outside World and Shareholders":
The group has completed the preliminary merger and acquisition of LeTV Pictures, and the original shareholders of LeTV Pictures:
Director Zhang Yimou, Director Guo Jingming, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Sun Honglei, Li Xiaolu, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Su Mang, Liu Tao, Qin Lan, Chen He, Ma Su, Jia Nailiang, Su Hong, Huo More than 20 people, including Si Yan, Li Chen, and Ni Na, have, without exception, officially become the original shareholders of LeTV through share exchange and shareholding increase;
Director Zhang Yimou and many other individual shareholders have promised to voluntarily give up Voting rights, not participating in corporate management and operations, and within the agreed time, will not sell its LeTV shares to third parties or secondary markets..."
I saw this hot topic early on April Fool's Day Information, the film and television industry will not really regard it as a "joke"
In the eyes of countless insiders, these more than 20 directors and actors can be said to be promotion capital this time. Another surge in the value of capital! This kind of overwhelming wealth is really enviable. I only regret that I was "cowardly" and didn't seize the opportunity!
"There is still one hour until nine o'clock, when the time comes! If you look at the changes in LeTV’s stock price, it’s definitely rising all the way. ”
Lin Nan dozed off and answered Wang Changtian's call while washing up. There was a strong sourness in Lao Wang's tone.
"It's so sour, Mr. Wang. What you had for breakfast wasn't xiaolongbao dipped in vinegar, was it?"
There was sudden silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone, Lin Nan's hand The shaver also stopped, smiled and joked: "Okay, you are not really eating this set meal, are you?"
"Steamed dumplings dipped in vinegar, the assistant just sent them, and there are also stomach nourishing ones. Porridge. Just say I'm jealous, and you're beating around the bush, I'm just jealous, what's wrong?"
Wang Changtian stopped hiding and spoke truthfully, chewing the food louder.
"Don't worry, I estimate that "Pacific Rim 2" will be successfully registered within a week; once the news is made public, Ray's stock price will definitely be stimulated."
"It's so fast. ? I remember that Xiying just sent it at the beginning of last month? "
"You also said that it was sent by Xiying. It should be normal for them to play tricks and slap the table in the bureau, right? ? After all, he is the big brother, he has great qualifications! Haha..."
"Hey, it's okay, that's the reason."
Wang Changtian was having breakfast in the company. After washing up at home, the two chatted about irrelevant gossip for a while, and then got down to business.
Ray has fully launched the release of "Love in Seattle 2". According to Lin Nan Pictures' public statement last year, this film will still not enter Anle Pictures.
However, the people on Anle's side tried to contact Guang Guang, hoping to find someone in the circle who was closer to Lin Nan to be the peacemaker... This is what happened early this morning.
But the result can be imagined. Wang Changtian refused and called Lin Nan now just to talk about this matter.
“Then again, in the past six months, Anle Cinema has really been frightened, especially during the two months of the Lunar New Year period, haha...”
“It’s already been done. I don’t want to deal with them. Okay, Director Wang, I’m going out. Let’s talk later.”
"Well, okay."
Lin Nan returned to the room, patted Liu Yifei's butt, and told her to get up early and go to eat. Then she was thrown out with a pillow by the "humming" Miss Liu.
The appointment with Director Zhang from Golden Shield was at 10:30 in the morning; so Lin Nan was not in a hurry, but listened to the radio and drove slowly.
Today is the first day of April. The film market has "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk", "Hot Pot Hero", "My Grandpa the Agent" and the imported film "Soul Muppets" all at once. With four movies to come out, the competition is fierce.
The film "Zootopia" was released for 28 days and finally fell to 1.53 billion; it created a new record for the highest box office of an animated film in the Chinese film market, but unfortunately it was a Disney imported film.
As for Leonardo's "The Revenant", it ended with 386 million. Relatively speaking, this is a very good result. After all, it is that kind of subject.
……
Film Bureau.
Lin Nan was still talking to Wang Changtian about "Pacific Rim 2", while Director Zhang from Xiying Film Studio "dropped in" to speed up the progress.
“I said Lao Zhang just went to work early in the morning, so there’s no need to be so urging, right?”
"How can we do it without urging? How can we be more efficient without urging? We all know what the working status is!
It's only been a few days, right? Try hard and get the approval and filing successfully before the 5th. By the way, the documents will be released to the public..."
Director Zhang from Xiying opened his mouth and kept talking, making Director Wang of the foreign language film approval and filing department frown;
Co-production films The relevant documents and scripts for filing came in from him. After being reviewed by multiple departments, they were sent back again to complete the filing process and publicize it. That's why he was blocked by the people from Xiying!
"Okay, okay, the 5th will be the 5th. I will help you in a moment to urge the old men in the script review department... Stop chanting!"
"Haha, you told me earlier. Then it will be the 5th. See you later, I have to go to Huaxia Film."
Ignoring Director Wang's dark face, Director Zhang turned around with a smile on his face He left. He was originally on a business trip to attend a meeting at Huaxia Film... Xiying is one of the shareholders of Huaxia Film.
Just as he was leaving the gate of the General Administration, Director Zhang saw La Peikang’s secretary, who was leading a foreigner, talking and laughing.
“Hey, Director Zhang, what are you doing?”
“Coming to urge the registration progress of that co-production film, what are you doing?” The matter of Xiying “seizing” China Film’s resources Son, it's an indisputable fact, so Director Zhang doesn't keep a low profile. Anyway, he was "faced". His own boss pointed his nose at La Peikang and slapped him in the face.
"China Film and Sony jointly produced "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" directed by Li An, which has been submitted for review and has been confirmed for import."
La Peikang's secretary is also " Arrogant!”
The two nodded to each other in a tacit understanding, and passed each other without losing their aura.
……
When Lin Nan arrived at the company near 10 o'clock, she immediately opened the news page.
Hey guys, sure enough, less than five minutes after the opening of the market, LeTV’s stock price started to rise and rose all the way up.
The fact that Zhang Yimou and more than 20 people have become individual shareholders of LeTV is undoubtedly the biggest good news for LeTV!
Many posts on the Internet even brought up Zhang Weiping, ridiculing and mocking him:
It is said that after the two Zhang broke up, Zhang Dapao was undoubtedly the clown who swam naked after the tide went out. I have been inactive in the film and television industry, and now I have become a deadbeat;
Directors Zhang Yimou and Zhang Da only started to make money and achieve financial freedom after being deceived for more than ten years. They no longer have to worry about being deceived.
"Director Lin, Director Zhang from Golden Shield is here."
"Please come to my office." Lin Nan raised his head and looked at the assistant.
Lin Nan has always been curious, what does Jin Dun want to talk to him about? The post-production of the film has been completely completed, and all that is left is the finalization, promotion and release...
"So, you are telling me about the special care in advance?"
Two or three minutes later, Director Zhang of Golden Shield arrived at the office with his subordinates, and Lin Nan greeted him at the door.
"Director Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Director Zhang is too polite, I have nothing to do."
The two sat down face to face, and the assistant was asking After that, he served tea to the other party, then left and took him to the door.
Without too much chatter, Director Zhang immediately talked about the purpose of his visit and asked:
"Director Lin, has the schedule of "Operation Mekong" been determined?"
"Well, it's a coincidence that Director Zhang asked. I just decided on the schedule a few days ago, which is the National Day schedule;
The concept of "Operation Mekong" perfectly complements the National Day, which is very meaningful," Lin Nan said immediately with a smile on his face.
Director Zhang opposite heard this and immediately nodded in agreement:
"They complement each other. Without New China, there would be no stable life for most people now..."
"But, Director Lin, can we change the schedule?" Director Zhang asked suddenly, making Lin Nan a little confused. What was going on?
“What do you mean?” Lin Nan asked in confusion.
“In the previous meeting of the ministry, the leader mentioned "Operation Mekong", a commercial film with the main theme belonging to the public security department, saying that it would be best to be released in a big time slot. I am not saying that the National Day time slot is small, but it is indeed It's not the biggest schedule, isn't it?
As for the Spring Festival period, forget it, after all, people rarely have family fun all year round, so we won't let such a slightly 'serious' theme commercial movie ruin the Spring Festival atmosphere;
At that time, everyone loved comedies and family-friendly movies... And the bloodshed and sacrifice of the anti-narcotics policemen were just for the sake of a better life for ordinary people, so don't go to the Spring Festival..."
Director Zhang was still talking, conveying the above meaning. Lin Nan heard it. Was he planning to go to the Lunar New Year stall? !
“So, it’s best to go to the Lunar New Year stall?”
“Well, the Lunar New Year stall is the best, and there will be strong support from above... Relevant leaders will also be present at the premiere. ..."
Lin Nan looked at Director Zhang who was talking eloquently. He knew that changing the schedule was inevitable. Of course, this was also a good thing; for "Operation Mekong", there are All benefit and no harm!
“Then let’s go in early December?”
"No, let it be released on November 28th!" Director Zhang emphasized.
Lin Nan was confused for only half a second before he reacted. At the same time, Director Zhang also took the initiative to explain:
“I said I wouldn’t ‘sabotage’ the Spring Festival stalls. I won’t spoil the atmosphere... and the Spring Festival is January 28th!”
“Okay, then November 28th.” Lin Nan nodded.
The two drank tea and talked vaguely about the special care after the movie was released...
Lin Nan had to admit that the department really valued this movie. After all, it was a commercial movie with the main theme that belonged to all anti-drug police officers and even the entire public security department!
Half an hour later, he sent Director Zhang and his party into the elevator.
Just as Director Lin turned around and walked into the office, something very important suddenly came to his mind!
"Good guy, I remember that Director Ren seemed to have said that "Railway Tigers"... is also going to the Lunar New Year show! Is this a competition?"
At this moment, Lin Nan I don’t even know how to describe my mood, is it weird?
After a long time, he sat on the boss's chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and smiled silently: "I was going to the National Day stall... Director Ren, just take care of yourself, and wish you good luck."
