Chapter 187 Confirming China Film Academy’s Script Judgment Ability
Liu Yifei has been sulking for the past two days.
Just because there was one dumpling left in the pot, she tasted it and found that it was undercooked.
Thinking of Lin Nan eating a plate in one sitting on New Year's Eve, she felt happy and uncomfortable at the same time.
"This is the second time. It turns out that you really don't have this talent. Let's forget about it from now on."
Liu Yifei raised her head and subconsciously wanted to refute.
Finally, he nodded pitifully, "Yes, I understand."
…
Hua Yi moved quickly.
Now everyone in the circle knows that Lin Nan subscribed for stocks. The specific amount has not been disclosed, but it cannot be hidden for long.
Most people are not optimistic about the listing of Huayi, because there has never been a precedent for a film and television company to go public in the mainland.
"The Wind" was still handed over to Deputy Chen, but preparations are expected to wait until the second half of the year.
Zhou Xingchi is still the same Zhou Xingchi. Seventeen days after its release, the box office of "Yangtze River No. 7" exceeded the 200 million threshold, and there is another one in the club.
Lin Nan made an appointment to meet Han Sanping.
Since Han Sanping took over last year, the person leading the China Film Festival team to international film festivals has changed.
Regarding "Inception", Lin Nan knew that he could not avoid China Film, and he would only talk to China Film about this matter this time.
When the secretary brought Lin Nan to the chairman's office, Han Sanping was making tea.
"Sit down. It's not a big deal to have you come over and tell me about the project in person, right?"
With that said, Han Sanping poured two cups of tea and let Lin Nan do as she pleased.
"No, that's why I came to you. It involves imported films."
Han Sanping suddenly became energetic.
"What's the specific situation?"
"Christopher Nolan directed it, Leonardo DiCaprio stars, and I wrote the script. That's all it is now."
"Pa", Han Sanping slapped his thigh.
"Enough, enough, these are enough. Haha, it is indeed a good project, a big project."
Han Sanping suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Lin Nan.
"Is China Film only the one in China?"
"Well, this movie is going to be released globally. China Film has the right to import it, so other companies won't consider it."
"You are more cautious this time, unlike in "Journey to the Center of the Earth"?"
"No way, Director Nolan hasn't finished the budget yet. But just like that, it already has 130 million U.S. dollars, and three investors, Warner, Appian Trail, and Crystal Pictures, have been selected.
Even if I introduce China Film to them, I may not be able to get the qualification for global accounts. There is a high probability that China Film can only get domestic or Asian accounts. "
Lin Nan modified it a little. He would not reveal that Crystal Pictures was his own, otherwise Han Sanping would definitely push the envelope.
"Isn't it more than 130 million US dollars? That's really high. The domestic scale is too small and it is not qualified to participate in the global account sharing."
As Han Sanping spoke, he glanced at Lin Nan.
"That means the law hasn't been finalized yet, right?"
“Yes, only after the budget is fully released can we sit together and negotiate the proportion of investment and the division of rights and interests of all parties.
I'll also say hello to Director Han first, so don't be in a hurry when the time comes. "Lin Nan explained.
"Well, no. China Film will not miss such a big project. Nolan and Leonardo will definitely make money. Don't you invest?"
Han Sanping asked suddenly.
"Of course I have to invest. I will invest in the script plus capital, but it shouldn't be much."
"Well, let me just say, with your personality, how could you not participate.
Since you said you won't consider other companies, keep this matter a secret and save them from bothering you. "
Han Sanping's thoughts are incredible.
Lin Nan was nagged for a while and finally sent out of China Film.
…………
The incident on Hong Kong Island was quickly put down, and Yinghuang became more vigorous.
Press conferences were held one after another, and Yang Shoucheng even stepped off the stage in person to ensure that the acting career of several female artists would not be interrupted.
The promotional poster for "Seeing the Dragon Removes Its Armor" is out.
At the end of the year, Andy Lau was on the phone with Lin Nan, joking that his movie was going to compete with "Painted Skin" and "The King of Kung Fu".
Lin Nan really took it as a joke, but Liu Dehua didn't lie to him.
"Seeing the Dragon Undresses" is indeed scheduled to be released on April 3rd.
In addition, there are "The Beginning of Spring" on the 10th and "Anaconda" on the 8th.
Lin Nan didn't even know what the latter two were thinking. Gu Changwei's "The Beginning of Spring" is a film that is competing for awards, so it may not matter at the box office.
But in "Anaconda" played by Jing Tian, he really came out to seek death.
Originally, the promotion of "Painted Skin" was planned to start in March.
But "Seeing the Dragon Removes Armor" was already acted upon in advance, and Lin Nan felt that "Painted Skin" would also work.
After communicating with Bona, the promotion of "Painted Skin" officially began.
Lin Nan notified Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming and others to shoot a promotional video first.
On the other side, some media broke the news that Wang Jinghua had submitted her resignation to Chengtian and the two parties were handing over business.
The reporters couldn't find Wang Jinghua, so they went to interview Cheng Tian, who vaguely expressed ignorance.
But many people on the Internet cited clues. For example, Fan Bingbing, who joined Chengtian Studio less than a year ago, terminated his contract, Wang Jinghua’s Yang Tianzhen left with him, and Chengtian established a new Chengtian Shijiu agency in addition to Wang Jinghua’s company. company……
Zhu Yawen called and talked about this matter with Lin Nan.
"It's been decided. I came with you originally, and we'll go together this time..."
Lin Nan opened his mouth: "You are doing the same thing as Lu Bu."
"What?"
"Nothing, I wish you good luck. Don't you really consider my suggestion to set up a studio?"
"No."
Lin Nan listened to Zhu Yawen's firm tone and said nothing more. This company with a pure agent model will become more and more difficult as time goes on. When the pay increases, it will be even more difficult to survive.
...
Chen Guanxi is a man and announced his permanent withdrawal from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, it seems that the photo shoots are consensual. It can only be said that he is unlucky.
Lin Nan went back to school. He will be free when he graduates from graduate school.
This year's art exam is a bit strict. Wang Jinsong, the director of the performance department, will be the chief examiner in person.
The elimination rate of the preliminary exam has increased to 70%, and several people who originally took the back door have been eliminated.
At the final exam, Lin Nan was watching the excitement on the side. Many people were a little nervous because they saw him and made mistakes.
"Lin Nan, did you see any good seedlings?"
Wang Jinsong's question was a bit redundant.
"Really not. They all seem to come from the same training class. There should be many teachers working part-time in the acting department, right?"
"Haha, you're so bold. But I was also shocked. It's time to make a fuss about this."
After Wang Jinsong finished speaking, he sat up straight again. The other teachers who were accompanying the students in the art exam were a little absent-minded.
…………
After the art exam, Lin Nan started to promote the crew.
The first stop was the movie channel.
Two recording studios, one for "Painted Skin" and the other for "Resurrection of the Dragon". What a coincidence.
Especially when Liu Dehua was filming "Resurrection of the Dragon", he also visited the crew of "Painted Skin", which was even more interesting.
"In April, the first competition will be between our two dramas. We'll see how the box office performs then."
"Brother Hua, if you want to say that, I'm not lying, haha."
...
"Brother Xun, listen to my advice and buy some Huayi shares. You don't lack that little money. If you feel uneasy, just transfer it to me."
Lin Nan and Zhou Xun get along well, and he gave advice for the second time.
Zhou Xun didn't expect that Lin Nan would say this twice.
"Tell me, how much did you buy? Are you sure you won't lose money?" Zhou Xun approached Lin Nan and asked.
"Eight million shares."
"So many?"
"I'm reminding you because I have a good relationship with you. Ask the leader how much he bought."
Zhou Xun pulled Huang Xiaoming, "How much did you buy?"
"Isn't the upper limit for each artist to subscribe to 1.8 million shares? I bought them all.
In fact, Director Lin is right. You don't lack that little money. At worst, you can sell it to Director Lin.
Of course, if you make money, keep it for yourself, haha..." Huang Xiaoming said.
"You all say that? Then I'll go find Mr. Wang to fill out the subscription form later." Zhou Xun nodded and made a decision.
Wang Baoqiang has developed very well in the past two years and is synonymous with grassroots.
A large number of grassroots actors are eager to become big stars like him.
I heard from several CCTV staff that Wang Baoqiang just came to the show two days ago.
When talking about life, he revealed that he had found a girlfriend, who is still a college student.
When Lin Nan heard this, his head was buzzing, and he felt that an honest man was going to suffer.
…………
Lin Nan led people to run for a week in a row, visiting several key cities, and the effect was very good.
As an investor, Wanda has promised to set the highest schedule.
Xiying and Ningying can't do much, but they will also try their best to increase the publicity of "Painted Skin" in their respective provinces.
When Lin Nan came back, he happened to enter the villa area with Liu Xiaoli's car.
After parking the car, I saw Liu Yifei stepping out of the car.
This outfit is very pleasing to the eye today.
Pure white short-sleeved shirt, black bow tie around the neck, black bib shorts, a pair of white, slender, and round legs.
Lin Nan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"How do I look like this? I just wore this outfit for the photo shoot."
Liu Yifei turned around while speaking.
If Liu's mother wasn't still around, Lin Nan probably would have made a move.
"Yeah, very beautiful, playful and cute."
"Hehe..."
…………
Liu Xiaoli took out a dozen scripts and wanted Lin Nan to help take a look. These were all invitations sent to Liu Yifei recently.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei sat on the sofa and began to read the scripts.
Pretentious art films, bloody love films, messy dramas...
Liu Xiaoli picked these first. Her script judgment ability is really poor.
"Auntie, why don't you wait a while.
These movie scripts are too bad. They just want to use Xixi's reputation to attract investment..."
Lin Nan's words made Liu Xiaoli a little difficult to accept. She thought they were all good.
"Is it really that bad?"
"Mom, Lin Nan is the screenwriter." Liu Yifei replied.
"Auntie, believe me, I have won many best screenwriter awards. Let's wait a little longer, maybe there will be other good opportunities."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Xiaoli and gave his advice.
