News is flying around
There are media outlets with powerful media reports on suspected conflicts within Huayi, pointing directly at the top management.
But soon this gossip disappeared.
Many people who saw it didn't take it seriously, but those who noticed it passed by quietly without even making a statement.
A piece of news from across the ocean was pinned to the top of the portal.
"Hollywood New Line Cinema recently announced its new film plan, and will collaborate with the famous director and screenwriter Lin Nan on the 3D science fiction adventure film "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
The latter participated in the production as a screenwriter and investor. The initial budget of the film reached 60 million US dollars, and Lin Nan held a 30% investment ratio..."
"'Dead Silence' allowed Lin Nan to successfully open the door to Hollywood. New Line is the second Hollywood film company to extend an olive branch to Lin Nan after Lionsgate..."
"Lionsgate director James Wan, who is the director of the hit horror movie "Dead Silence," said in an interview that he is looking forward to new films from Lin Nan and New Line."
The domestic film and television industry was dazzled by this news, and all other entertainment gossip was suppressed for a while.
Anyone I know or don’t know is contacting Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, please keep this matter secret for a while, and I will announce it then."
…
After receiving phone calls from Enlight, Wanda Ye Ning, Xiying and other companies, and being ridiculed by Ning Hao for a long time, Lin Nan finally accepted a phone interview directly from the reporter and frankly stated that this was the truth.
Now a large number of agencies are looking for Lin Nan, including Zhang Ziyi's agent. Lin Nan is still curious, isn't she preparing for "The Night Banquet"? She has such a big appetite!
Shanghai Film Group followed closely behind, and also disclosed the amount of investment it received, which was the same as China Film Group's, which was four million.
A Hollywood science fiction film costing US$60 million, its heroine is still popular even in Hollywood, let alone in China.
Lin Nan received a call from Wang Zhonglei. They started with a social conversation, and finally made it clear their purpose, hoping to get part of Lin Nan's remaining share.
Wanda's people spoke.
"She is not in the content of our cooperation."
"Director Lin, I have something to ask you."
"Miss Huo, let's work together again next time," Lin Nan said.
Huo Wenxi also left early.
Although Guangguang is developing towards the film business, its current main business is still in the variety show and television business.
"There are still some shares, which have not been finalized, about six million..."
An unexpected guest visited Lin Nan, a man from Yinghuang.
On the other side, Mother Liu was also asking Liu Yifei, "Lin Nan was a guest that day. Didn't he talk to you about the movie?"
To be honest, together with Huayi, these three are indeed Lin Nan's ideal private companies to cooperate with.
"Since Miss Huo has come to Beijing, please stay for two more days. How about I let you know when we talk?"
"First of all, I need to make it clear to the four of you that I only have 6 million shares left in my hand, and China Film, Shanghai Film and myself all have 4 million.
Liu Yifei felt that her mother was taking things for granted again.
The six million cannot be given to just one party, and there cannot be too many partners. My plan is to divide it between two parties, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Lin Nan stopped pretending, "Ms. Huo came early. Let's talk about it when we all sit down together."
Regarding this matter, the reply given by Huayi Brothers Film and Television Media was false.
"Lin Sheng, please stop pretending to be confused. You can definitely guess the purpose of my visit this time."
"Okay, you go ahead, but he won't let go easily. We have to be prepared to pay a premium."
Only then did everyone realize that Lin Nan and China Film and Shanghai Film had already reached an agreement, and now they were just announcing it.
"Lin Sheng, which other companies are there? In my opinion, whether it is funds, artists or status, Yinghuang is the most suitable choice for you."
"If he had the right to decide on this female character, we could help you buy it. Unfortunately, there is no definite information."
Huo Wenxi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Different from the vague and general news last time, this time it directly named an individual and was specific about the incident.
"This reporter got the exact information from director Lin Nan that he is indeed cooperating with New Line Cinema on the new film "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and 30% of the investment amount is true."
"Looking at the news from New Line and Lin Nan, they should be sure of the profit of this movie. Since they are sure of the profit, they have more choices for partners. I asked someone to go and find out."
If Lin Nan reveals that he can decide the ownership of this female character, then the actress who comes to him can drown her. He has no doubt about the madness of these domestic actresses.
"no problem."
"I will, Director Lin."
Yinghuang was covetous of the opportunity to go directly to Hollywood, but the Hong Kong people's behavior made Huo Wenxi not as decisive as Wanda and Huayi in terms of quotation, and he withdrew for the second time.
The first step was to release the EP first, and hired Princess's producer to help her produce lyrics and music. For the title song MV, she even hired new director Ning Hao.
"It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future. Yinghuang looks forward to cooperating with you, Director Lin."
Huo Wenxi was dressed as an urban beauty, sitting opposite Lin Nan and talking.
This is what Lin Nan asked someone to hand out.
What has established its status is not only its prolific director like Feng Xiaogang, but also its huge group of artists and stars, including many big names and countless capable actors.
But currently there is no chance to join the crew of a big director. On the contrary, if the crew on Hong Kong Island has money, they can get in.
Huo Wenxi from Yinghuang, Mr. Xiao Wang from Huayi, the vice president of Enlight, and the executive of Wanda Cinemas.
From the beginning, Lin Nan had a rough idea, and the results were completely in line with his expectations.
"Then I'll wait for Lin Sheng's call, and I'll go check out Director Jiang Wen's class."
Huayi and Wanda each received an investment of 3 million, but the money they spent was 4.2 million.
Liu Yifei disagreed with Shu Chang's proposal.
Lu Zheng smiled.
It was bluntly stated that Wang Jinghua had broken up with the Huayi brothers and would lead her artists to leave the Huayi Economic Company, and even the suspected job-hopping target was reported.
The clever media have already gone to read the original novel, or dragged people there to inquire about the adapted script.
Although Jing Tian is young, he still wants to join a serious big drama crew, not the "Anaconda" in his hand.
Everyone in the industry knows that Huayi is the leader among private film and television companies.
"What's up?"
News that had disappeared for a few days resurfaced, and this time the gossip reporters didn't know where they got the exact information.
There are three protagonists, two uncles and nephews, plus a female guide character, and an investment of 60 million US dollars. The protagonists are basically these three.
Wanda executives sold favors.
Lin Nan hesitated.
Chengtian, who was suspected of taking over the company, couldn't explain clearly.
Wang Zhonglei went out with satisfaction.
Shu Chang suggested.
Lin Nan and Guang Guang have a good relationship, but their physical strength is really not good, so they were the first to quit.
"Lin Sheng, we meet again."
China Film Group took the lead and announced that it had received an investment of US$4 million from Lin Nan, adding further fuel to the fire.
And this is just a stepping stone to enter the industry. It would be best if you can directly participate in movies.
Each film company was the most enthusiastic and asked Lin Nan about the authenticity of this matter. Although the news from New Line could not be false, everyone was looking forward to getting the exact information from Lin Nan.
"Okay, Uncle Lu."
Jing Tian held a book in his hand. It was not thick. It was the original novel of "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
Lin Nan got straight to the point and explained his intention directly. Judging from the expressions of several people, they were prepared in advance.
Although Wanda has not yet set foot in the upstream industry, its intention is obvious, as can be seen from asking Lin Nan about its share.
"But Director Lin Nan didn't make it clear that he had no say in casting." Jing Tian said softly.
"I see."
"Brother, let me contact Lin Nan. We need this investment to stabilize the next situation. Wang Jinghua has already made up her mind to leave..."
"Ms. Huo, long time no see. Why are you here this time? Director Jiang Wen hasn't heard that things are not going well."
Through existing information, you can easily calculate Lin Nan's investment share, which is US$18 million.
Soon, news update.
"It seems you like the movie very much."
Lin Nan didn't meet anyone who inquired about the casting, and didn't say anything. The few people who knew about it wouldn't reveal it either.
Lin Nan invited Huo Wenxi into the office.
"Hong Kong Island is too small. My base is on the mainland, and I will also belong to the mainland market in the future..."
"Did you really not get a role in this movie? For example, the heroine."
Huo Wenxi didn't expect Lin Nan to speak so directly.
"Say hello to Mr. Wang for me."
Lin Nan did not agree directly, but told him that he could make time for the interview, which happened to be with other companies.
This is the second time Lin Nan has met this British artist director.
"We must be minding our own business."
China Film and Shanghai Film have the background, power, and endorsement in the import and distribution of foreign films, so they can get their share at a fair price, but these companies will definitely not be able to do so.
Wang Jinghua's reply on the other side was that she was on a business trip and would wait until she returned to Beijing.
Lin Nan still has to give face to his partners.
Choosing to enter the film and television industry was Jing Tian's own idea and his childhood wish. For this reason, his family asked Lu Zheng to help him.
The joining of two leading state-owned enterprises in the film and television industry has really made this matter a definite fact.
Artist management revenue has always played an important role in Huayi's profit structure, and everyone in the industry is happy to watch the excitement.
"That's no problem. I believe Guang Guang and Miss Huo won't take the initiative to disclose it."
"It's better to say goodbye. If you want to say it, he will."
Mother Liu felt a little regretful, "This is a Hollywood movie. It would be great if he could make the decision."
Now everyone is really not calm. They are all speculating whether Lin Nan has the right to cast. With 30% of the investment, it stands to reason that Lin Nan cannot have no say in the casting. Lin Nan is also a screenwriter, and Hollywood screenwriters are not like those in China.
Weak.
The news outside was flying all over the sky, and Lin Nan was waiting for people from four companies to come to his company.
"How about we go ask him?"
Without lying to Mr. Wang, Lin Nan also received interest from other companies, including his old friend Enlight and Wanda, which is expanding its theater chain.
…
Lu Zheng looked at the news in his hand and was moved, but he still held it back.
In twenty days, "Into the Dust" came to an end, with a box office revenue of 10.8 million.
The premium was inevitable, but the four of them did not expect that Lin Nan only wanted two companies, which meant an investment share of US$3 million for each company.
Wang Zhonglei said.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang shook their heads, "I didn't say this that day."
The other party seemed to understand what Lin Nan meant.
"I understand, thank you, Director Lin."
