Chapter 1078 Official Script, March next year
On National Day, the passenger flow at the Capital Airport is naturally self-evident, with huge crowds of people.
But even in this case, a group of paparazzi can still lock the target shot in a moment - the olfactory sensitivity is fully maximized.
“Good guy, it’s really a big fish?”
“If China Film Group can send several vehicles to pick it up, what is it if it’s not a big fish?”
"It's Li An...director!"
After an entertainment reporter saw clearly the person being picked up, the other paparazzi instantly became excited.
"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is the first major director's film to be released in November and December. It is completely reasonable for Li An to return to China at this time.
"Let's go, get stuck..."
"I heard that Director Li will be at the Film Academy's "Huashan Swordsman" on the 2nd of next month. Which of you has got the tickets? ”
"What's the Huashan sword discussion? That's the 'Big Director Film Forum'!"
"By the way, protests have already started online this morning. I guess all the Lotte Group's business here at Bangzi will be lost... …”
“You guys talk so much nonsense, hurry up and chase... Director Li... Director Li...”
After notifying Wang Changtian and the others, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei continued to stay at home. . There are too many people outside today, so it’s not a good time to go out for a walk.
As for the hot search online about Li An’s arrival in Beijing, it’s impossible for Director Lin not to see it; after all, it was so loud that he was chased and shouted at by a bunch of paparazzi at the airport, but it attracted a big wave Where are the eyeballs.
"This seems to be the first time that your movie has overlapped with Director Li's movie in terms of schedule. Well, I'm somewhat looking forward to it." Liu Yifei was flipping through Lin Nan's storyboards while chatting.
"Director Li An has never been a big director of commercial films. Even his highest-grossing "Life of Pi" is a literary film;
So what if there is overlap? ? What's more, it's not a head-on encounter, but a 17-day delay. The only opponent in "Operation Mekong" is a commercial film of the same period. "
Speaking of this, Lin Nan unconsciously thought of Golden Shield. Director Zhang "hinted" what he said:
"People rarely have family fun all year round, so we won't let this kind of 'serious' commercial movie with the main theme ruin the atmosphere of the Spring Festival... It will be released on November 28 .
I said I won’t ‘spoil’ the atmosphere of the Spring Festival stalls, so I won’t spoil it… and the Spring Festival is on January 28th! "
For this year's Lunar New Year game, Lin Nan is participating in the competition with an "official script". Doesn't he just have a calm attitude of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and strategizing?
"You What are you laughing at? Inexplicable. "Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan's slightly raised corners of her mouth and was puzzled.
"What are you laughing at? I laugh. Although "Operation Mekong" is still nearly two months away from its release, it already received a one-month extension key half a year ago! "
Lin Nan raised her eyebrows at Liu Yifei and told her about this for the first time.
Sure enough, Miss Liu's eyes widened a bit, her expression was quite shocked, and then a clear smile appeared on her face; she figured out everything in an instant... and Yourong Yan was very happy.
......
Following the official start of casting for "Youth" on the 1st, "The Righteous" also released an audition announcement on the morning of the 2nd. The auditions will start on the 5th. .
As soon as the news came out, the film and television industry was in a state of excitement. Two great directors are casting for new films at the same time. Isn't this the biggest "National Day gift" for actors in the industry?
Its popularity and attention have caused the industry to completely ignore the movie information about the re-release of "Wolf Warrior 2".
That's right, Wu Pan started filming the domestic scenes of "Wolf Warrior 2" non-stop on the second day of National Day;
Liu Yifei, as the main producer, also followed Xie Nan early in the morning We went to the scene together to visit the crew and watch the filming ceremony!
In the film and television entertainment industry, there has never been a fixed holiday. The closer a legal holiday is, the busier and more prosperous the film and television industry will be, because it is a good time.
No, I was joking with Wang Wei the day before yesterday, saying that I would not work overtime three days before the National Day; but it was only the second day that Lin Nan came to the company.
"Director Lin, these are the documents to be signed. These are the financial statements as of the end of September. These are all invitations for the next two months, including invitations to premieres and events.
In addition, the director forum held by Director Li An and China Film at Nortel sent an invitation email again today. This time there is a specific event process and guest list..."
Sitting in the office, watching As the assistant introduced him in the same way, Lin Nan felt a little headache, "I understand, I'll read it slowly, and you can come back to get the documents around noon. "
"Okay, Director Lin. "
After the assistant responded, he immediately left the office; this is what Lin Nan meant, the former does not need to wait here.
"Good guy, the taxes to be paid this year Not less than last year? "Lin Nan was shocked when he looked at the report.
Although the settlement time was delayed by two months, the box office profits of "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown" are both included in this year;
But even if "Love in Seattle 2" is added, ” and the yet-to-be-released “The Chaser” and “Passing Through Your World”, the total box office profit this year is unlikely to be more than last year! Well, as usual, "Operation Mekong" will be next year's top hit.
Lin Nan flipped through the report and soon found the problem.
Four artist studios, no, to be precise, they should be two female artist studios. They have created huge profit sharing for Shanhai Media in these 9 months.
Reba, in particular, has doubled his business announcements, advertisements and endorsements... he is a walking money-making machine!
"Artist management business... No wonder few companies are willing to give up this business. It is getting more and more abnormal."
"Director Lin, so many employees in the marketing department are saying, why don't artists Are you going to start the brokerage business again?" Yue Jun came in after hearing Lin Nan's sigh at the door.
“Forget it, it’s good as it is now.” Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun, paused, and then said:
“Remind Shanhai Media to reduce the heat appropriately. Although the endorsement of Ba’s announcement is to be a star as the main actor and as a supplement, he must not overdo it with his fame. Hearing this, Yue Jun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's the truth. I will tell you later. Director Lin, actually, this is the workload after screening her several times. But you may not have noticed that there is too much hot money in our industry now. Well, the higher the value of an artist, the more he is robbed..."
Lin Nan ignored Yue Jun's words until the latter made a suggestion: "Reba's tax rate is the highest, should we open more stores for her..."
" No need, just pay the taxes honestly." Lin Nan decisively rejected the other party, but he also had a question and looked at Yue Jun: "There are already many artists who have opened multiple studios and companies?"
Hearing Lin Nan's question, Yue Jun couldn't hold back his laughter: "Director Lin, that's more than just a lot? That's a lot!
That is to say, the actors around us don't have This is the case, but if you look outside, most of the studios and companies owned by first-tier artists in the industry basically start with a few companies, and range from a dozen or even dozens of companies!”< br>
Yue Jun's voice echoed in the office. Lin Nan did not answer, but remained silent, and the atmosphere became cold.
"Director Lin?"
"Have you ever thought about people's desires...especially the money in our industry is so easy to make, and all of them are here They try every means and brains to avoid taxes, but their desires are hard to satisfy. If one day, they can no longer avoid paying more taxes, how will they satisfy their desires? ”
Yue Jun's expression suddenly became serious. He had already realized what Lin Nan was talking about!
"There should be something like that happening outside, right?" Lin Nan lowered his head and started to get busy.
"Although there is no definite 'evidence', as far as I know... there is, and quite a few."
Yue Jun nodded. The industry has indeed been in chaos in recent years; the reason is that actors It’s so easy and crazy for artists to make money.
“We only have four artist studios, don’t think too much, four is enough. When appropriate, I will also remind the four of them that cleanliness is the most important thing under Shanhai Media.”
"Well, okay, Director Lin."
At this moment, Yue Jun nodded seriously and agreed.
...
As we enter the National Day holiday, whether the movies in the schedule are high-quality or bad, they all have higher daily box office than usual due to objective reasons.
But at the same time, "The Murderer" also exceeded Lin Nan's previous prediction. It did not fall in the third week, but fell in the second week ahead of schedule, and fell in the third week during the National Day. sky.
That is, after 14 days of release, the total box office revenue was 305 million, and the daily box office fell below 100,000! Its market share was completely sucked up by the movies "Passing Through Your World".
However, in terms of box office alone, it did not lose at all, but made a huge profit, because the production cost of "The Chaser" was only 30 million!
Of course, the box office of several other National Day commercial movies is much higher. But compared with each other, the daily box office trends are quite different.
"Passing Through Your World" has been released for 5 days, earning 472 million, and the daily revenue is still more than 60 million.
The "Grand Trail" was released for 4 days, with a total box office revenue of 240 million. Speaking of its daily box office, it’s a bit funny:
On the second day of its release, fans pushed it to 70 million, and then it dropped at a rate of 10 million every day. , just like the daily box office trend of the "Tiny Times" series!
The last "Ace Funny Ace", this movie is also the most difficult to describe; it cost 130 million in four days, and its tepid appearance gives people the feeling that it will be "finished" at any time. It completely conforms to Wang Changtian's "definition" of it - inferior, cheap, just what Wang Jing uses to make money!
After breakfast, Lin Nan was ready to go out. Liu Yifei's Ferrari F12TDF happened to be parked in the yard. It was driven by Han Jianu just this morning, and she was at home right now.
"Do you two ladies want to come with me to the Tudou headquarters?" Lin Nan was too lazy to go to the garage and simply got into the bright yellow sports car.
"You want to go and talk about business, but what can we do there?" Liu Yifei curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan.
“Oh, I can follow you.” Han Jianu was not polite and raised her hand directly. But she was immediately pushed back by Miss Liu, "What are you making fun of?"
"I'll go listen and see how many stocks I can buy!" Han Jianu said matter-of-factly , At this moment, there is only "Brother Kong Fang" in his eyes.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but frowned and looked at classmate Xiao Han with disgust, "Don't embarrass Director Han, acting like a money addict."
"Hey, you But my back hurts when I stand and talk. How can I compare with you? Look, my life has not been as good as yours since I was a kid. My first car was..."
Looking at Liu Yifei. Lin Nan didn't bother to pay attention to Han Jia'v, who looked like she was arguing and arguing, and just stepped away! Just hearing the roar of the engine, without waiting for the two women to react, a flash of bright yellow jumped out of the yard.
Early ten o'clock in the morning, Tudou building.
The person who came to represent the light today was naturally Wang Changtian; and Wanda was also Liu Xiaobin, who asked him to take over Ye Ning's most important shifts.
As for Penguin, he is a senior vice president and has dealt with everyone many times before.
As for Weibo, it was really beyond Lin Nan’s expectation, because it was not Cao Guowei. Previously, Lin Nan, Wang Changtian and Wang Wei all thought that Cao Guowei would come in person.
"Director Lin, I'm really sorry. Originally, Director Cao really wanted to come here in person, but there was an emergency, so he had no choice but to send me."
"What do you mean? "Yes, I'm just curious. What has Director Cao been busy with recently?" Lin Nan asked politely, and then entered the elevator with Weibo's executives.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that some competitors’ methods in business are a bit unethical and they always ‘steal’ Weibo’s resources.”
"Huh? Is there such a situation?" Lin Nan was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
“That’s right, Director Lin is not involved in the management of Weibo, so of course he doesn’t know about it. It’s the Byte system, but it’s a bit unscrupulous this year. Our original shareholders’ meeting in December was to discuss this matter. , Weibo has some shares there... Director Lin will know it by then."
Lin Nan didn't answer, just nodded with a smile, but at the moment his mind was filled with lightning.
……
On the 23rd floor of the Tudou building, there were only 6 people in the big meeting.
"According to the team's plan and having communicated with ICBC, Tudou will submit an IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in March next year. If everything goes well, Tudou will be officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange probably in the middle of the year or a little later. Ring the bell and log in to the Hong Kong stock market...
Let’s take a look at the information in front of us. This is the initially planned number of shares for the initial public offering, the number of shares in the option pool, and the number of internally subscribed shares before listing... According to all our parties, Opinions can be revised and adjusted continuously... After all, you must be responsible to our six major shareholders first, and secondly..."
