Chapter 1031: Start-up matters; blocked...
If you ask which paparazzi in the entertainment industry is the strongest, there is no doubt that it must be Fengxing.
Because they follow the procedures and techniques of reporting serious news, that is, they obtain a complete chain of evidence to prove that what they say in their entertainment news is true.
Therefore, the entertainment information released by Fengxing is very convincing and credible in the eyes of countless netizens. This is also a reflection of past performance and reputation.
Because of this, Zhuo Wei was naturally regarded as a "god of plague" in the circle.
Countless actors, stars, and film and television professionals hate him with gnashing of teeth, but they are helpless and even laugh when they meet him. After all, many people dare not guarantee that they are "clean"!
No, Director Gu has been dragged out of his connotation again. The reason is that Miss Zhang was photographed having a secret meeting with the former last night, and the two only separated in the early morning.
“We just had a hot pot meal, and now there is another big gossip in the circle! Tsk tsk, it’s really exciting. But not to mention, Director Gu has been quite affectionate over the years. Hehe..."
Han Jianyu was leaning on the sofa, rubbing her somewhat full belly while laughing and joking.
“But he is already that old?” Shu Chang flipped through the news on his phone with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Never doubt the energy of the fifth generation of great directors and their young hearts. Of course, this private gathering between the two should be the reason why Zhang Jingchu's new movie is about to be released."
Lin Nan analyzed teasingly. The specific reasons are quite different.
"Quick Gunslinger" was released on the same day as Zhu Yawen's "Lu Yao Knows Ma Li"? Liu Yifei remembered that there was such a movie in which Zhang Jingchu was the heroine.
“Well, it’s this movie.
It’s funny to say that although she was banned by many directors and producers’ wives, the directors and producers still Willing to help privately
She can seamlessly transition into the Hong Kong scene, and she works with well-known directors there. This is Director Gu's network. Now I can come back to the mainland for this reason, haha..."
Lin Nan was almost laughing, but he had to admit that Zhang Jingchu was indeed a very capable actress in the industry. The acting skills are also very good, but the "husband" behavior cannot be evaluated.
"I think this trend will definitely suffer someday. Sooner or later, big paparazzi like Zhuo Wei will finish playing and offend people. Too many.
After all, more and more industry bosses and actors and stars are now tied to capital, and this situation will become the norm in the future. It’s strange that you can survive if you use too much capital. "
Han Jianu took over Lin Nan's words and affirmed with determination. Although she is often careless, her acumen is truly inherited from a mountain eagle, and her IQ is always online!
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Nan and the others were chatting and laughing at home; Director Gu had probably become the talk of the town again...
It was approaching six o'clock in the evening. Monkey Pictures.
Because he had to join the team in two days, Ning Hao specially held a meeting to arrange the company's work for the next month. Well, mainly the post-production outsourcing of some film and television works and commercial work.
When all the employees were off work, his cell phone rang suddenly.
“Director Xu, I’m calling you at this time. What’s the matter?”
Ning Hao put away the documents and asked Xu Zheng on speakerphone. While Xing Aina was helping, she was also listening attentively.
"We have temporarily arranged a dinner at eight o'clock in the evening. It is very important. You have to rush over..."
"What dinner?" Xing Aina asked immediately. She didn't trust Xu Zheng. Yes, that guy has too many tricks.
"Yeah, the big screenwriter is here too? It's nothing, it's business, haha..." Xu Zheng said perfunctorily with a smile.
Ning Hao looked at Xing Aina with an innocent expression, but the latter stared back.
"Is there anything serious that I can't talk about publicly? Ning Hao's shares are half of mine!" In her opinion, the more you hide it, the more problematic it will be!
"Just say it and make it look like there's really nothing good going on." Ning Hao was speechless and urged Xu Zheng.
Ever since that year when I went to a nightclub with Huang Bo and this guy and got caught by the paparazzi, my position as a younger brother in the family was completely stable. Well, there was also the matter of text messages being found out. .
Hearing this, Xu Zheng showed off his cards and couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's Director Gu Changwei's business. He just called and agreed to the matter;
But at present, his contract with Huayi still has four months left, so we have to wait for a while. The reason why we made a temporary arrangement for the evening meal is to receive Director Gu..."
"Why did you suddenly agree? Haven't you been hesitating before? And the conditions haven’t been agreed upon yet. "
Ning Hao asked subconsciously, Xing Aina was also curious. She knew about Huanxi's contact with several big directors in the mainland.
"Tonight is the final negotiation. , In addition, Director Gu just made a condition..." Xu Zheng said hesitantly, and both Ning Hao and Ning Hao could hear that he was trying his best to suppress his laughter.
"What condition? ”
"Help him handle the public opinion online."
"With Zhang Jingchu?" Ning Hao suddenly realized that Director Gu was also a person who cared about face!
"Humph, they are not good things."
Xing Ai's cold snort instantly silenced the two directors on both sides of the phone; their subconscious told them that at this moment, they could not be provoked It excites the great screenwriter.
…………
"Co-produced by Biantian Culture and Enlight Pictures, the fantasy, love, and adventure animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" grossed 72 million at the box office on its first day of release;
The film has received mixed reviews from film critics across the Internet Severe differentiation, under the elegant and graceful Chinese style, the plot is fragmented and festering, the storyline is confusing, bloody, and even has incorrect views;
But it is undeniable that the beauty of the pictures, the excellence of the music, the oriental The rich classical charm is amazing and amazing... Looking back, I can't help but regret the plot..."
"It is controlled by Anle Pictures, China Film Group participates in the investment, Aaron Kwok, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Runfa, Yang Caini, Starring Wen Yongshan and others;
The movie "Cold War 2" grossed 95.76 million at the box office on its first day, becoming one of the few high-quality, high-box office Hong Kong films in recent years..."
"Exclusively produced by Huayi Pictures, it took 6 years and cost 60 million US dollars to produce. The animated film "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" suffered a waterloo on the first day of filming, with a revenue of 3.51 million.
Although the film was a one-shot It was well-received, but not a box office hit. According to many domestic theaters, the film’s screenings will not be increased, and even today’s screenings have dropped by 0.2% to 5.7%..."
On the morning of the 9th, yesterday Wednesday The box office performance of this heavyweight domestic film has been on the headlines of film and television news.
Hua Yi, pulled a big one!
So much so that Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and other senior executives came to the company early to hold meetings and figure out solutions!
"Did Wanda work with other theater chains to do this? Or was it the mastermind?"
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange. Wang Zhongjun first targeted Wanda. After all, the "big feud" had just been forged for more than four months and was still fresh in his mind.
Old God Ye Ning closed his eyes and rested his mind. Wang Zhonglei opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly:
"Except for our own theater chain, the film schedules of other theater chains are generally very low. There is currently no sign that it is the evil hand over there.
But they did make some small changes in the scheduling time. Nearly 70% of the shows are at noon and early morning... We can't protest or complain about this. ”
< br>
"Is this a problem with the distribution department?" Wang Zhongjun turned his attention to the person next to Ye Ning, the person in charge and senior executive of Huayi's distribution business.
"Director Wang, we have really tried our best on the issue of distribution."
The middle-aged executive who was a little overweight could not say anything else and could only respond like this. He really Tried his best.
“An investment of 60 million U.S. dollars, nearly 400 million yuan!
You take the entire department and go and re-distribute it for me now. If this movie really fails in the end, you Just free up the seat for someone with the ability, like Mr. Ye.”
After Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, all the executives in the conference room immediately looked at Ye Ning. The latter also opened his eyes and murmured in his heart: Are you going to put him on the fire? It will excite Wanda!
Distribution, isn’t it all about relationships with major domestic theaters? As a former veteran of Wanda, Ye Ning is naturally an old acquaintance of major theater chains in China.
"Okay, I'll go now."
The person in charge of the distribution department stood up with a pale face and said to Wang Zhongjun tremblingly. Then he glanced at Ye Ning vaguely, his eyes were abnormal. Ice cold.
In Huayi, Wang Zhongjun is the emperor, and no one can question his orders. Many executives are mourning for this old friend in the distribution department. The possibility of his stepping down is too great.
At the same time, many people also had a vague feeling of resistance to Ye Ning.
Since he arrived, he has continued to erode the power and influence in the hands of other executives! Moreover, he also has 34 die-hard middle-level Ma Zai, which is really a powerful force and a strong enemy!
......
Lin Nan is connecting funds with the bank. Within the next month, Weibo will act as an intermediary to help the original shareholders complete the increase in shareholding;
< br>Therefore, the corresponding acquisition funds must be prepared in advance.
As a U.S.-listed company, Weibo naturally has to make public announcements about changes in members and shares of its major shareholders.
As for the specific announcement time, it will be almost next month, that is, after all share transactions are completed!
After the ICBC executives promised with a smile that they would not delay the business, Lin Nan hung up the phone.
He stretched and looked at the time. It's early ten o'clock in the morning and it's time to get off work.
The launch time of "Second Generation Fairy" was originally scheduled for the 10th, but Lin Nan temporarily changed the time and pushed it back two days.
Because he needs to go to Weibo from time to time for meetings or video conferences these days to determine the share of his increased holdings.
But thinking about it, it won’t be much, just a few points.
Guangbo is increasing the promotion and distribution of "Big Fish and Begonia", and the film scheduling rate seems to have increased by 4 points;
Although "Chilling 2" has dropped by 1.5 points film schedule, but the attendance rate seems to have increased by 9% due to word-of-mouth;
Looking around, Huayi's "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" really has a tendency to "get out", but many in the industry People are happy to see this excitement!
On the way back, Lin Nan received a call from Wang Changtian.
“The listing application materials of China Film Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. have just been announced and passed the review. The official listing time is set for early next month!”
“ So fast?" Lin Nan asked in surprise. "Is it going to be slow for these two companies? They are just going through a process, and it is the policy that allows them to go public!" Wang Changtian's tone was unusually sure.
"That means there will be two unavoidable celebration cocktail parties in early or mid-next month!" Lin Nan smacked his lips and joked.
"Well, almost. I heard a rumor that just came out:
Shanghai Film and China Film seem to be absorbing ordinary small shareholders in the industry again, or they are tying people on their own ships. . The basic threshold for getting on the ship is to start at the first line, and there is no upper limit!" "So the industry must be in chaos now?" Lin Nan understood, thinking that there are definitely more excited artists. .
"Well, that's crazy! It always gives me a bad feeling when state-owned enterprises do things like this. Tell me, if these actors and stars have some problems in the future, will these two big ships be insured or not? Where is Bao? "
The topic froze here, Lin Nan did not respond, and Wang Changtian did not ask any more questions. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they both seemed to have the answers.
"Just now, Xie Nandu said hello to me, and then left in a hurry. If my guess is correct, her destination is either Shanghai Film or China Film!"
After a while, Wang Tsuneta changed the topic.
Even Wu Gan and Xie Nan have their thoughts on it. To be precise, Wu Gan has the idea, because Xie Nan is not yet qualified to be valued by Shanghai Film and China Film.
"Everyone wants to have more connections and more paths, I understand."
Lin Nan said with a smile, the big ship of a state-owned enterprise is a giant ship, and it can really make things happen when necessary. !
While Lin Nan was chatting with Wang Changtian while driving, the film bureau was also "lively".
After hearing the secretary’s report, Zhang Hongsen ran to Tong Gang’s office.
At this time, the two people were staring at each other, whether they were laughing or not, it was very funny anyway.
"Do you want to tell Hai Zheng? Who would have thought that Lin Nan would star in Lin Nan Pictures' second movie? How long will he do this? The intention there is Him!”
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you remind me or not. After all, according to Hai Zheng’s intention, even if the "Operation Red Sea" project is approved, the casting, training and preparation time will still be spent. It will take several months or even half a year. The filming will most likely have to wait until next year. Is it possible for Lin Nan to film a movie next year? ”
Tong Gang smiled and shook his head, and continued: "Don't worry so much about Hai Zheng, but Kong Zheng's "Sky Hunter", I think it is very perfunctory.
Other actors are training at the base. , but Fan Bingbing, the heroine, has been filming a large-scale costume TV series for nearly half a year. Is she preparing to join the cast of "Sky Hunter" or even join the cast?"
Zhang Hongsen was diverted by Tong Gang's joking tone, "I heard that the TV series with an investment of 500 million was not originally called "Win the World", but something like "The Richest Female in the Qin Dynasty"! Haha..."
“Invest 500 million? These people are becoming more and more wanton!”
Tong Gang’s tone suddenly cooled down, Zhang Hongsen immediately realized something, and his expression returned to normal in an instant serious.
Reba, who went to Hollywood for more than a week, is back. When Lin Nan arrived home, he saw her feeding the cat with Liu Yifei.
The former still shouted "Sister Yifei" one after another, but Miss Liu lost herself in the "Sister Yifei".
“Have the makeup and clothes been finalized?”
“Yes, Director Lin, my look in the movie, combat uniform, etc. have all been finalized.” See. Reba stood up immediately at the sight of Lin Nan's figure.
“Because your mobile phone can’t make calls, Tom just called me and asked if you have any plans for the Oscars this year.
In addition, it seems that the reform of the Academy members has been completed and an announcement will be made early next month. "
Liu Yifei also stood up and put the cat food aside.
"Oscar schedule? Lin Nan muttered, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't have any idea at the moment. We have been going there for three consecutive years." "
" Let's talk about it near the end of the year? "
"Well, let's talk about it at the end of the year. ”
As they spoke, the three of them entered the villa. There is an extra person at lunch today, and Reba comes with a gift.
......
On a new day, amidst controversy, "Big Fish and Begonia" handed over the results for the second day of its release: the daily box office increased by 800 compared to the first day. million, increased to 80 million.
The box office of "Chill 2" the next day increased by 7 million, officially exceeding 100 million in a single day, reaching 102.8 million.
Only Hua Yi's "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" is still so lifeless.
It struggled to climb the 10 million threshold and earned 10.26 million. It has completely become the laughing stock of the entire film industry, and this movie is destined to suffer heavy losses!
July has just arrived on the 10th, and large-scale promotions for August movies have begun.
When I open Weibo at 1 p.m., what comes into view is the intimate stills of Yang Ying and Jing Boran, the promotional draft of "A Slight Smile Is Alluring".
It seems that the movie and TV series with the same name will be filmed and broadcast next month. This can be regarded as a linkage between film and television!
“Did you see that after the millennium, the Mainland’s 4th Four Little Actresses are preparing for selection again. Although it will not be officially launched until late next month, the news has been released today and the warm-up has begun. ! ”
Originally, he came to Ning Hao, the director of "Second Generation Fairy", to discuss the production, but as soon as they met, he started talking to Lin Nan about boring things on the Internet.
“Let’s just judge. We have been adding water since the last session. This time, you don’t need to think about it. It is completely a game of capital in the circle, and everyone is praising people.”
Lin Nan said nonchalantly that if he wanted, he could get a spot at any time. But, it doesn't make any sense.
"Yes, that's true. But in just a few years, the entire industry has changed drastically. Everything is capital, everywhere is capital...
Remember us When we first met, I was still a flamboyant. "Incense" made me lose money to my grandma's house, and you haven't won your first Silver Bear yet..."
Looking at Ning Hao's nostalgic expression, Lin Nan couldn't help but joke: "You're talking like you're not a capital?"
"Haha, of course, does everyone in the industry want to be a capital? , I finally succeeded after all my efforts.”
“By the way, what’s wrong with you today? Is your sister going to divorce you? Or is your adopted mistress threatening you? ?”
“Fuck you, you’re just getting divorced and you’re raising a mistress.”
Ning Hao sat up from the recliner and cursed immediately after hearing this. He glanced at the direction of the villa behind him, then glared at Lin Nan angrily and explained:
"It's Director Gu Changwei. He just made me feel a little emotional."
"Haha, why did he feel sorry for you?"
"The night before yesterday, Huanxi had already won over Director Gu. At the end of the year, he You will become a happy shareholder.
You say that someone who is almost 60 years old is still so excited about fame and fortune? When negotiating, he is as energetic as a young man. < br>
I was just joking, saying that he would also like to integrate into the capital circle and experience the feeling of capital. Hey, are you ready to make up for the regrets of the past few decades? ”
Sitting next to Ning Hao, Lin Nan couldn't stop laughing.
“The director of their generation, the one who lives the most comfortable life is Director Chen. The latter has long been a capital. How can others not envy him?
What if Director Gu is like that? I have already become a capital, maybe my wife’s surname will not be Jiang now, but Zhang!” Lin Nan joked without any scruples.
To be honest, his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang was much more unruly and romantic than people like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. If he hadn't been banned for 10 years, he wouldn't be sure what he would be like now.
Concerning "Second Generation Goblin", a movie that was shot for fun, Lin Nan and Ning Hao had reached an agreement before that there was no need to draw separate shots.
When filming, just follow your feelings and focus on beauty and comedy. Everyone on set can give opinions, but of course, only a few people are qualified to do so.
The movie will officially start shooting on the afternoon of the 12th, and for the entire crew, there are only the last two days left.
In the afternoon, Director Lin went straight to Weibo and started a small meeting with several people about share distribution.
......
"Producer Hou, you can rest assured on this. Everyone in the industry knows about my professional ethics. I will never be perfunctory in my work and I will be meticulous."
Huang Xiaoming and Hou Hongliang were sitting face to face. The former's goal was "Nirvana in Fire 2".
Hou Hongliang naturally knows Huang Xiaoming’s reputation. This is one of the few big-name actors and assets in the industry, with connections throughout the industry and excellent popularity with the audience.
After hesitating for a moment, Hou Hongliang nodded.
"Yes. The script will be released around October. At that time, we will also divide the investment amount with Director Lin's company and officially start casting. As for the start-up time, we plan to set it in December. You can advance Arrange the schedule!”
“Thank you so much, Producer Hou, I will definitely arrange the schedule. Here’s to you.”
Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming suddenly smiled with joy, and his gloomy mood was swept away. The fact that "Splendid Years" was "blocked" seemed unimportant.
More than an hour later, the two ended their meeting and left with their assistants.
As soon as we got into the business car, the assistant reminded Huang Xiaoming: "Brother Xiaoming, the baby has called you several times. Because you are talking about work with Producer Hou, I didn't dare to disturb you."
"Well, give it to me and I'll call you back."
Huang Xiaoming took the phone and called back immediately.
On the crew of "Lonely Beauty Don't Admire Yourself", Yang Ying was resting in the room. He answered the call as soon as he saw the call. Huang Xiaoming's gentle voice came from the other side:
"What's the matter? What's urgent? I was just negotiating with Hou Hongliang, the producer of Noon Sunshine.”
“I’m going to ban that actor, it’s so disrespectful...”
