That year Huayu

There was still discussion in the industry about whether the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" would be as deserted as "Thirteen Hairpins".

The results were somewhat surprising. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

The premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was much more lively than "Thirteen Hairpins".

All the major film and television companies in the industry joined in support, and they could not see the anger and annoyance they felt after being stabbed in the back by Yu Dong!

Actors and stars from the film and television industry gathered together, and media from all walks of life also flocked to the event.

The premieres of the two films were in stark contrast. After the news was reported, boos erupted online.

As for why this is the case? The reason is very practical:

Bona is a company listed on Nasdaq, one of the giants in the industry, and it is much more important than the new picture!

However, Lin Nan still didn't go. He didn't care if Yu Dong was a giant or not.

…………

Lin Nan saw that the movie Bay Island was also on the Lunar New Year schedule, and it was released five days after "Pacific Rim".

A few years ago, he asked Yue Jun to go there and negotiate to purchase the copyright of the novel, but the result was not very good.

At that time, he was planning to buy it back and direct it himself, filming for Liu Yifei.

That was also the first time that Lin Nan had the idea to direct and act by himself, and play the leading role of the male and female actors together with Liu Yifei.

But the original author's request made him unable to accept it. The former wants to be the director and cast and film by himself, otherwise he will not sell the copyright.

How could Lin Nan agree to such a request? Do you think he was taken advantage of? Spend money to support others? ! Most people who can make such a request have something wrong with their brains.

The final result was that Yue Jun negotiated for more than half a month and even increased the price several times, but still could not reach an agreement.

Simply, Lin Nan gave up the idea and gave up on the novel. There are so many good scripts, and there is no one missing.

"The release in the Mainland has been delayed, and it is on the same schedule as "Pacific Rim". Don't even think about the film schedule and high box office..."

…………

Facts have proved that listed companies in the film and television industry still cannot rely too much on actors and stars.

Two days ago, Huo Wenxi came to the capital and met with Lin Nan to talk about the crew of "Genius Gunslinger".

Lin Nan didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect a big news to come out today.

Ying Huang has done something big!

Yang Shoucheng paid a lot of money to poach Ge You from Hua Yi.

And this morning, a signing ceremony was held on Hong Kong Island for a five-year contract.

Yinghuang promised to create three large-scale movies for Ge You during the contract period, with a total investment of no less than 500 million.

"Actually, three days ago, there were rumors that Ge You was leaving Huayi. At that time, Huayi's stock price dropped..."

The way Yue Jun was hesitating gave Lin Nan a bad feeling. He hadn't paid attention to these things in the past two days.

"Whatever you want to say, just say it."

"Director Lin, Huayi's stock price has been falling in the past three days, and it has dropped 12 points..."

Everyone in the company knows that Lin Nan holds a lot of Huayi shares.

Hearing Yue Jun's words, Lin Nan wanted to vomit blood.

He was still thinking yesterday about whether to cash out Huayi's shares and use them to recycle Tudou's shares. After all, this was quite convenient.

Now it's good, the plan has to change, otherwise it will be a big loss.

"How did the two brothers react?"

“Issuing announcements every day to ‘prove’ that Ge You’s departure will not have much impact on the company, and emphasize that Feng Xiaogang will always stay at Huayi.

Director Feng also posted several Weibo messages to stabilize the morale of the troops, haha..."

"Isn't this inconsistent? There is no silver here?" Lin Nan cursed.

Huayi's most profitable movies are almost all co-productions between Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, and they have been for many years.

The previous listing prospectus stated that the company is highly dependent on Feng Xiaogang’s team. And Ge You is the core of Feng Xiaogang's team.

"What a bad luck. Forget it, move the money from other places..."

"What did Director Lin say?" Yue Jun asked curiously. He didn't hear clearly what Lin Nan was mumbling.

"It's nothing. I said Huayi's stock price will rise back within a few months, half a year, or a year."

Lin Nan replied casually.

…

…

The first batch of staff of "Genius Gunslinger" has already set off to Hong Kong Island to arrange the venue.

Lin Nan and other main actors will join the cast to start shooting in the second half of the year.

It’s been more than a week since we entered the Lunar New Year season, and the movie market is slightly weak.

After "Hongmen Banquet" has a box office of over 100 million, it has the advantage of having no blockbuster competition in the same period and even worse opponents. The daily box office can still remain at 6 or 7 million, but the ending is already doomed.

As long as "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are released, there is a high probability that "Hongmen Banquet" will be completely killed on the spot.

…

As a member of the film industry, Lin Nan and a large number of filmmakers were attracted by the news from the official media.

The bilateral agreement signed with Dayang in 2001 had just expired, and the country couldn't wait to file a complaint with the WTO.

Accusing the domestic film policy of being xenophobic and not open enough, and demanding an increase in the number of imported films and the ratio of revenue sharing.

This matter is different from Zhang Weiping's petty quarrel.

After entering the World Trade Center, you must abide by the rules of the game. Only by giving up can you gain.

In recent years, China has indeed deliberately squeezed imported films and protected the development of domestic films.

It is said that at least 20 Hollywood branch movies are imported every year. In fact, there is really not more than one...

This has also led to a large number of domestic film companies and filmmakers being like flowers in a greenhouse, not thinking about progress or breakthroughs, just fooling around and making money all day long.

And once they are hurt by imported blockbusters, they will just yell at the film bureau and demand the so-called "Domestic Film Protection Month." The "protection against shortcomings" mentioned above did not play a positive role, and instead the child was raised to waste!

At the premiere of "The Martian", Lin Nan proposed to set up his own special effects company. A group of people regarded him as a fool. Now everyone was dumbfounded.

Because of the WTO lawsuit, the domestic side obviously does not have an advantage...

I just don’t know what the specific results will be then.

But domestic filmmakers can all guess that the result will definitely not be good.

By this time, many people realized that Lin Nan's original move was really prescient.

"Tiangong Color, currently operating normally, does not require investment, does not accept shares, and is not considering listing..."

Within a day, many chicken thieves came to contact Lin Nan with only one purpose.

…

"The promotion of "Pacific Rim" in China has been fully launched. Are you sure you won't be able to come to the premiere by then?"

During this period of time, Han Sanping's most important movie was "Pacific Rim". After all, box office is his political achievement!

If this movie can make a lot of money in the global film market, then this political achievement will be huge!

"Director Han, we can't come. We will leave for Hong Kong Island in a few days. By the way, when will the new rules for imported films be released?"

Lin Nan asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it should be soon. I heard from the Children's Bureau that it must be finalized during the Spring Festival at the latest.

After all, the previous contract has expired, and new rules will definitely apply next year.

Lin Nan, the wolf is really coming..."

What Han Sanping said was quite sinister and made people nervous, but Lin Nan understood the meaning behind his words. At the negotiation table, the domestic side does not have an advantage and is still struggling, hoping to make as few concessions as possible.

"I just need to take care of myself. I wish they would be snatched away by wolves, hahaha..."

Lin Nan said jokingly.

"This kind of mentality is not good. You must have a stand and be consistent with the outside world..."

"Yes, yes. Director Han is right. Regarding the premiere, China Film and Wanda will be in trouble."

…

It used to be said that those who act well should direct, just like Xu Zheng and Zhao Yanzi. After all, they are also actors in their profession, so they have the foundation.

But now it’s amazing, even novel writers are clamoring to enter the film industry and become directors!

"I will spend a year adapting my novel into a movie script and learning directing skills. I will try to start filming this time next year..."

Fans were waving flags and shouting, but people in the film and television industry were watching the joke, and many people were even very aggressive in their jokes.

"It's not your fault that you are short, but it's a bit too much to know that the sky is high and the earth is high..."

For a time, there was another scolding war on the Internet.

…

Liu Yifei listened to Lin Nan's suggestion and has been writing biographies seriously for the past two days.

When she saw Lin Nan's figure, she just glanced at him and ignored him.

The serious look is quite heartless!

"how's it going?"

"Well, the effect was good. It gave me a deeper understanding of the character."

Liu Yifei nodded and handed the booklet in her hand to Lin Nan. It was densely packed and written a lot.

"Yes, this is a 'careful' character. Due to family reasons, he is particularly sensitive to the concept of money. It is exactly the opposite of Luo Jin's character..."

"Changchang just came here."

Liu Yifei suddenly said something, but Lin Nan didn't understand what she meant.

"She took the little girl with her."

Lin Nan understood now. He looked at Liu Yifei and asked with some worry: "You didn't promise anything, right?"

"How could it be? Changchang didn't say anything, he just sat there for a while."

"Well, that's good. After knowing her for so many years, I can only take care of her at most."

In Lin Nan's eyes, every friend around him has obvious weaknesses.

Shu Chang has lacked love since he was a child, has soft ears, and is easily led astray. He listens to whatever his "relatives" say.

Zhu Yawen is a bit narcissistic and quite a bitch...

Luo Jin has a strong self-esteem and sometimes cares about face.

…

As for Liu Yifei, Lin Nan glanced at her and shook her head unconsciously.

Fairies are just appearances!

On the inside, he is very reckless, very naive, very naive, very sweet, and occasionally very shrewd!

"What are you looking at? Why are you shaking your head?"

Liu Yifei had a "cold light" in her eyes and a fierce tone.

"Huh? It's nothing. I think you're incredibly beautiful."

Lin Nan said that practice makes perfect, and muttered in his heart: "This is just an accident."

"Hmph, you continue to lie, let's see if I believe you or not. I was only 16 years old at the time..."

Liu Yifei turned her head and continued writing her biography, scolding Lin Nan.

Lin Nan sat on the sofa and just looked at Liu Yifei, with a smile on her lips and feeling very peaceful. At this moment, there is quite a joy of life, and the years are quiet...
