Chapter 1046 Big Change; "Youth"; Handle
To be honest, in the many years since he has been in the film industry, Ning Hao has made literary films and is good at black humor comedies. He even does very well with realistic subjects. , such as "No Man's Land";
But he is really not good at it, or he has never made a science fiction movie at all, especially serious science fiction.
However, this does not prevent him from making magical changes, changing a science fiction novel into what he needs, into his own style;
Furthermore, from a more serious science fiction novel The novel becomes a script in the form of "comedy + science fiction"!
""Village Teacher"... you are really good at choosing!" Lin Nan smacked her mouth, not knowing what to say, so she could only sigh.
"I can't go back on my word. You promised me before that I can choose from your company's copyright library." Ning Hao waved the novel in his hand, as if he was determined to win.
“Well, I always keep my word and will never break my promise.
But you chose the copyright, so do we have to calculate the copyright fee? As the old saying goes. Well done, my brothers will settle the score."
Director Lin changed his words and changed the topic with a smile. Naturally, you won't go back on what you promised, but it's a one-size-fits-all deal, and the money issue still needs to be discussed, otherwise things will get messy.
Hearing this, Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan with a disgusted expression, "You and Yifei can use the copyright to offset the investment share, and even make additional cash investments. Is that okay?"
" Huh? Haha, that's a good suggestion. You're really a thief. Not only did you take my copyright, but you also tied Yifei and I on board! He is becoming more and more like a capitalist, and the street lights are not far away."
Lin Nan joked silently, but he did not refuse; Ning Hao could also hear the ridicule in his words. Smiling and cunning expression.
On his way back to Tiangong Color from the screenwriting department, Director Ning couldn’t wait to start planning the movie:
"After the special effects and post-production of "Elf" are completely completed, our senior screenwriter and I can start working on the script slowly.
As I said, we will not copy the original work, but I made a major change and only borrowed its ideas and settings to make my movie. Well, it is definitely similar in spirit but not in form.
When the audience enters the theater, they will never be able to tell that the movie is derived from "Country Teacher". 》...When the preparations are almost complete, it should probably be done by the middle of next year, right?”
“That’s your business, I don’t care. But according to you and Huanxi’s founder shareholders. Contract, Huanxi seems to have the right to invest first in your movie, right?"
"Well, I know you are a bit dissatisfied with Dong Ping, but I am the main control between you. There’s no need to deal with it...Besides, won’t Xu Zheng still be happy if he starts the "囧" series again?"
While Lin Nan and Ning Hao were muttering, at Hongxingwu, Jiang Yanrou and the film purchasers of several satellite channels had determined the final exact time for a round of copyright negotiations, which is tomorrow morning!
There is no airtight wall in this world. After all, the "restraint order" matter spread, spread to the next door, and was brought to the surface.
In the morning, in just 20 days, all 53 mainland domestic dramas involving 42 artists starring in the next door were taken down, and a large number of artists next door were returned to the mainland, their performances were canceled, and their contracts were torn up. The news was broken by the official media next door.
Hong Kong media and Taiwanese media followed the trend with reports, which made the matter reach its peak within an hour, raging across the entire Internet.
Not to mention the response from above, when Lin Nan and Ning Hao went out to "forage" at noon, the Internet was already in a state of commotion.
Countless netizens and fans got into fights and scolded each other. The former supported the ban, while the latter abused the former crazily, and even attacked a completely "non-existent" policy...
If nothing else, the above one Impromptu emergency meetings should be indispensable!
“With so much noise outside, the response from above is naturally quick. As for how to respond? It’s nothing more than: This is completely false rumors. There has never been such a policy. At most, it is a spontaneous behavior of the industry... Supervisor The department can't intervene!"
Wang Zhongjun joked in a teasing tone at Hua Yi's dinner. The people around him all laughed in agreement.
"The San Sebastian International Film Festival will open in the middle of next month. Xiaogang, you will definitely bring the crew there. After that, there will be the Golden Horse, and the "Youth" project The preparations won’t be delayed, right?”
After everyone laughed, Wang Zhongjun looked at Feng Xiaogang and asked about business.
The latter smiled and shook his head. Today's little steel cannon smiled even more ferociously. It seemed that the skin disease was getting worse. Coupled with the teeth that people couldn't bear to look at, they were obviously a little scary. people!
"There will be no delay. Zhenyun said that the script will be completed by the end of this month or early next month and will be sent directly to the review. This time, we will wait until it is reviewed before casting. After all, it is a sensitive subject. "
"Has the wind about this project been released?" Wang Zhonglei took over Feng Xiaogang's words and asked.
"It has been released. Director Feng's project is a high-quality and sought-after resource in the industry. Naturally, we should leave time for everyone to compete." A senior executive immediately flattered him and replied.
Everyone here knows that Feng Xiaogang is full of ambitions for this "Youth"; he wants both artistic attributes and commercial results, and the casting was planned to be a business from the beginning, and was done by the industry Companies compete!
"Well, just let the news out. Director Feng just waits to finish." Wang Zhongjun said with a smile and raised his glass, and a group of people followed him.
At this moment, Wang Zhonglei’s assistant suddenly pushed open the box door and walked over quickly. He came to the former’s side amidst everyone’s doubtful eyes: “Mr. Wang, your phone number is... "
"Huh? Let's eat first, I'll go out and take a call." Wang Zhonglei frowned subconsciously when he heard the name, but his expression returned to normal in an instant, and he stood up and walked outside.
Wang Zhongjun and others didn't pay much attention to it, because Wang Zhonglei was originally the second boss in charge of external affairs of the group, so he naturally had a lot to do.
Outside the box, Wang Zhonglei took the "on-call" mobile phone and smiled naturally on his face, his voice seemed to be full of smiles:
"Mr. Chen, you are a rare visitor, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is there a call? Haha..."
Ten minutes later, the call was hung up, and Wang Zhonglei returned to the box with a smile on his face; his eyes swept over Wang Zhongjun and looked at Feng Xiaogang: "Director Feng, A big fish is biting!”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"The time has been arranged. I will take you to meet Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei. It depends on you whether you can stand out through this movie.
It's still the old saying: Xiaohong relies on support, resources can solve it; big red relies on fate, this is metaphysics. Unless you have a steady stream of good resources, like Jing Tian.
When it comes to resources, there are only a few actresses in this industry who are not lacking in resources... Now is the era of capital, and the film and television industry is no longer what it was 10 years ago; money is not that valuable! "
"I know, I will cherish it, Mr. Chen. ”
Although she feels unwilling to be born at the wrong time, what can she do? She can only hope that the road ahead will be smooth sailing, and she can be like those top A-list actresses...
The person behind the desk opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say what he wanted to say. He just waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. There will be announcements later. ”
"Well, okay."
When there was only one person left in the empty office, he couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to go to Huayi to find resources;
< br>But there are only so many great directors in China, and the only places where he can trade profits for roles are with Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi!
"Xiaoli, you really have a good son-in-law. Cannes International Film Festival, Best Supporting Actress Award."…………
I said I was going to see a ready-to-wear show at a fashion show, and I wanted to do some shopping on the way, but the result of this shopping was: I only took my assistant with me when I went there, but when I came back, I had a lot of big and small bags with me!
After get off work in the evening, Lin Nan was shocked when he went to the airport to pick up the plane. Was he going to the Magic City to purchase goods? The RV in Hongxingwu was filled with bags and jewelry bought for the assistant.
As for Shu Chang, she did not give in too much. Her assistants and employees all had happy expressions, as if they were celebrating the New Year. After all, the cheapest gifts start at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
After parting ways, Liu Yifei got into Lin Nan’s passenger seat; on the way home, she shared today’s itinerary with a smile.
“I met Sister Gong Li in Shanghai today. Her seat was not far from mine, and we all had dinner together at noon. I heard from her that she was going to attend a meeting of China Film and Television Co., Ltd. in the morning the day after tomorrow. Bell-ringing ceremony. This is the first time I know that she also bought a lot of shares in China Film Group... La Dong specially invited her to attend the listing bell-ringing ceremony.”
"When the potatoes are on the market, I will take you to pick them." Lin Nan added with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait, hehe." Liu Yifei was not reserved this time, looking as arrogant as he should have taken her with him.
“I guess many people in the industry are waiting to send congratulations the day after tomorrow, and we will not be exempt from this.”
“Well, more or less, after all, China Film Group has gone public.”< br>
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and joked playfully. She remembered Lin Nan said: China Film Film Co., Ltd. will materialize China Film's "power" and then display it in the financial market!
When I got home, it was another night of going to bed early and getting up early. Well, there were a few fights in the middle.
Lin Nan, who was tired from working all day, was no match for Liu Yifei, who was full of energy after playing all day. Therefore, Director Lin can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman. After all, face is the most important thing!
As a result, he couldn't get up in the morning... Director Ning Da could only work on post-production work at Tiangong Color alone in the morning.
“At around 9 a.m., Huayi Group and Director Feng Xiaogang’s Studio issued a joint announcement:
Accepting multiple invitations from the Hollywood agency CAA, the innovative artist agency, Director Feng Xiaogang has now It is confirmed that he has signed a contract with CAA and will become a contracted director. He will not rule out entering the international film market and entering Hollywood to direct foreign language films..."
"It is reported that CAA is one of the three major agencies in Hollywood. The company has recruited many first-line stars and directors in Hollywood, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tom Hanks, George K. Rooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc.;
CAA has previously signed contracts with many celebrities in the Chinese film industry, including well-known directors Li An, Wu Yusen, and Wong Kar-wai , actors Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Yu Nan, etc..."
As soon as the entire film and television industry opened their eyes, there was news that Feng Xiaogang was going to enter Hollywood. It was really exciting.
Many first- and second-tier actors in the industry are posting flattery on Weibo, scrambling to get ahead, as if they are greeting the future Hollywood director in advance!
But in Lin Nan's opinion, this is really ridiculous. After all, with his little steel cannon style, he can't get along in Hollywood, and it's impossible for him to get along.
Even if he signs a contract with a brokerage company there, his main business must still be in China. At most, it may be a little more help when he is competing for prizes abroad.
Huh? Catch the prize?
Thinking of this, Lin Nan seemed to suddenly realize... Feng Xiaogang was really desperate!
Yawning and going downstairs, Lin Nan looked up and saw Liu Yifei wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, barefoot, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, answering the phone.
Her left leg is placed on her right leg, and her white feet and long legs are swaying, which is really eye-catching and hurts the nerves, body, and kidneys!
"Whose call is it? Seeing you so happy, with a smile on your face?"
"It's from Director Jiang. A round of copyright negotiations for "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" will start soon. In the afternoon, No, we will know the final result before noon at the earliest.”
“Oh, we can look forward to it, but remember to pay the bonus to the production team of Lin Nan Pictures.”
< br>Lin Nan said teasingly and sat next to Liu Yifei, who nodded with a smile: "No problem, Director Lin."
In the light, Wang Changtian's secretary was reporting on the progress.
"Director Wang, around the 20th, the new car will arrive at the customs and can be received within two days at most."
"Well, as long as I can sign for it before the 25th, it will be enough to avoid being late for a gift. It would be really embarrassing and embarrassing, haha..."
Wang Changtian smiled and shook his head, it cost him more than a thousand, which was beyond the budget!
As soon as I finished talking and laughing with emotion, I saw the mobile phone on the table buzzing and vibrating. Wang Changtian answered the phone and joked: "You called me personally, it seems that the deal is about to be finalized?"
A hearty smile came from the other end of the phone, and it was Wang Baoqiang's voice: "Director Wang, this It will be completed in two days. Can I call you in advance to report it?”
"It took more than four months and less than five months to complete "Havoc in Tianzhu". It was really not easy for a new director like you. This seems to be the first time that you have not been home for five months as a permanent member of the crew, right?"< br>
"Director Wang, it’s to make a movie. It’s my first time as a director. I’m not strong enough. I definitely need time and attitude to make up for it. But it’s okay. I can go back and watch it in two days. I have a son, a daughter and a wife, haha..."
Wang Baoqiang smiled happily. Firstly, his directorial debut was finally about to be completed. Secondly, he really felt homesick.
"Then finish the filming quickly. Director Lin and I are waiting in the capital to hold a finishing celebration banquet for you. You are the only one invited."
While Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang were chatting on the phone At that time, the latter company had just completed an asset transfer.
"He's coming back."
"What are you afraid of? He is a fool. He has fooled himself in the past, and he will continue to do so in the future. When you find a reason someday, you will start a fight with him and get a divorce...
< br>But before that, we have to get some handle on him first, maybe we can use it in the future..."
