Chapter 284 IPO Planning

Lin Nan's advice to Lu Zheng was quite effective.

"My Beautiful Boss" grossed 8.6 million yuan on the first day.

Although the cast was not very large, the reviews were generally good.

"A very pure love movie. Although it is the old-fashioned story of a poor boy and a rich girl, it is very healing..."

"No kissing scenes, a very clean love movie!"

"Jing Tian's acting skills seem to have improved!"

"The heroine is luxurious, not inferior to Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada"..."

...

Lin Nan saw some reviews. Now that he said his acting skills had improved, he was afraid that he would scold her again later.

The screening schedule of "Earthquake" was indeed reduced as Han Sanping said, but it was still beyond the normal line.

Huayi chose not to respond to the collective accusations of the production companies in the circle, including the ten-day delay.

The meat is the most practical when it is in your mouth, and a little accusation is nothing.

A transatlantic call came in.

"Tom, if I still receive your call at night in the future, your year-end bonus will be gone."

"Oh, no.

Lin, please don't be so stingy. I called to tell you a good news."

Hearing this, Lin Nan reacted instantly.

It should be about the box office of "Lucy".

"Tell me, how much?"

"Paul just got the data and sent it to me.

I didn't delay for a minute, and you still want to deduct my year-end bonus?!"

"Then 5%, or wait a little longer..."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, the other end of the phone was anxious.

"103 million, it's 103 million! You should be able to see the news after dawn."

To be honest, this number is higher than Lin Nan's expectations.

After all, this is Liu Yifei's first attempt at a heroine. In his expectation, 90 million is pretty good.

"You should thank Leon and Matt later, they helped to shout twice in the middle."

Tom reminded.

Lin Nan nodded subconsciously, "I know. When I go back, I will thank them in person."

This favor is considered owed.

...

On the second day of August, the film and television industry was extremely lively.

After holding the domestic film box office record for 21 months, Lin Nan's "The Martian" was surpassed and wiped out by "The Great Earthquake".

"The Great Earthquake took 11 days and the box office closed at 450 million, becoming the new domestic film box office champion..."

"Director Lin Nan is like yesterday's flower, and "The Martian" has become history."

"No, Director Lin has not lost, he still has "The Thieves". We will be back..."

...

The Internet is full of news about the "new king's coronation", which is very lively.

The media's mouth cannot be stopped.

Lin Nan doesn't care about losing the box office record at all.

He searched for a long time before he found the news about "The Sword of the Assassin" under a lot of movie information.

"The first costume movie "The Sword of the Assassin" directed by Lu Yang had a box office of 14.8 million on the first day..."

Seeing this data, Lin Nan felt much more relieved and was quite content.

The market for martial arts movies is getting smaller and smaller. Especially for traditional martial arts movies, the survival space is even more insufficient.

For example, "Embroidered Spring Blade" adds officialdom intrigue and national justice.

"Dragon Gate Flying Dagger", which Xu Ke is working on recently, focuses on martial arts + 3D technology.

Everyone is trying to find a new way.

…………

"Palace" crew.

When Yang Mi learned about the first day box office of "Embroidered Spring Blade", she was excited for a while.

"Mi Mi, you are the heroine. This movie will definitely make hundreds of millions!"

Zeng Jia shook Yang Mi and said excitedly.

"Yes, this will be the first billion-dollar box office movie I starred in, haha..."

"Congratulations, Mi Mi."

"Congratulations..."

Feng Shaofeng, Tong Liya and others came over with smiles on their faces.

……

At noon, Sina first published the box office results of "Lucy" in North America in July, which caused a sensation again.

"Lionsgate news, the sci-fi action movie "Lucy" has been released for a month, and the box office has closed at 103 million US dollars, making a lot of profit..."

Although it lost to "The Great Earthquake" in China, "Lucy"'s performance in North America is eye-catching.

For a time, the topic about Liu Yifei on the Internet has surged again.

It's okay for the little flowers, because they are too far away and can't be jealous.

On the contrary, the big flowers are now feeling more pressure.

"Another one?"

Zhang Ziyi was a little emotional in the crew of "The Grandmaster".

She left Hollywood in disgrace. The glory of "International Zhang" seems like yesterday.

Now she is still unwilling and still thinking about when to fight back.

In Zhang Ziyi's view, Liu Yifei has a representative work in Hollywood and has established a firm foothold.

"Lucy, Crystal Pictures, Liu Yifei...Lin Nan!"

Not only Zhang Ziyi, but also Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing...

A group of big flowers with ideas thought of Lin Nan.

…

Since the moment the news came back, Lin Nan’s phone has not stopped ringing.

The amount of money Lucy made on paper was clearly laid out there, and anyone in the industry could calculate it.

Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian…even Wang Zhonglei, Yang Shoucheng…

They all called one after another, and their meaning was very clear, they were calling for the next project.

"Call me next time and you won't have to ask about the introduction..."

"Money is not a problem. We have money and a theater chain. We can help Director Lin with any project..."

Wang Changtian even promised that if he brought a light, he would follow suit next time.

To be honest, Lin Nan is indeed considering new projects recently. The era of commercial films has arrived.

…

When I returned to the villa, I happened to see Liu Yifei driving back.

Lin Nan rarely saw Liu Yifei drive this red Ferrari, but he actually drove it today.

She usually likes to drive Lin Nan's big G, and she drives it much more often than Lin Nan.

"Where did you go today?"

"Sister Bingbing invited me and said that someone wanted to invite me to make a movie, so I went with my assistant to the coffee shop."

Lin Nan frowned, "Who?"

"It's the Deng Wendi you said last time that it's best not to deal with him."

Lin Nan nodded, thinking that it was indeed her.

Looking at Liu Yifei like this, she obviously wasn't fooled either.

"What's that look in your eyes? I'm not stupid, I definitely didn't agree to anything.

There wasn’t even a script, so I just went to drink coffee..."

Miss Liu rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.

I just admire this Ms. Deng a little bit, she is very efficient, so I am eyeing Liu Yifei!

"If I ask you for a script again in the future, just tell me that you want to give it to me for review."

"Well, I refuse in your name, I understand." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Haha not bad."

Lin Nan did mean this.

In his opinion, Deng Wendi would not have any good projects, and he was too scheming to be friends with.

…………

In August, art schools began to mail out admission notices.

Lin Nan saw many child stars posting notices or acceptance text messages on Weibo.

The most eye-catching ones are Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, who were admitted to Nortel together and will become classmates.

"Director Lin, Reba has received the admission notice to go to the theater, and the training program can begin."

"Well, you arrange it.

Tell her that at least, let alone two years, she has to calm down in the first year and not let other people go out to take roles to affect her mentality. "

"OK."

The media pays more attention to these child stars and famous newcomers.

Reba is also in the news reports. After all, he is the first art candidate signed by Shanhai Media.

…

A phone call came over.

Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this note on her phone.

"Hello……"

"Director Lin, it's me, Wang Wei."

"Mr. Wang, are you calling me at this time to ask for movie rights? Or a TV series?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"Director Lin was joking. The funds from previous financings to buy copyrights and drama series are almost used up.

This call to Director Lin is to inform you that we plan to submit an IPO in early November. "

Two and a half years.

It has been two and a half years since Lin Nan invested in Tudou, and now he has finally reached this point.

"Then what can I do?"

“Director Lin’s personal information will be used in our prospectus.

After all, Tudou is a video website, and its main business is movies and TV series.

And you are the Golden Lion director, internationally famous..."

Lin Nan didn't say anything. This was the obligation of shareholders.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is everything ready? Don't you have anything to worry about?"

When Wang Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Lin, for your concern. Everything is OK."

…………

After ending the call with Wang Wei, Lin Nan still felt a little uneasy.

Unlike Huayi's listing on the GEM, Tudou is targeting Nasdaq...

"Succeed or fail!"

Lin Nan had considered this issue more than two years ago when he invested in Tudou.

If he succeeds, he will make money.

As for failure?

That's another option.

Lin Nan didn't think too much about it. The result will come naturally when the time comes.

He turned on his computer and began to check the situation of the American stock market...

…………

The daily box office of "Earthquake" is still strong and remains above 30 million.

"Xiu Chun Knife" and "My Beautiful Boss" are also relatively stable, ranking second and third among domestic films.

"Mars"'s blessing to Jing Tian allowed this "My Beautiful Boss" to be fully exposed.

Stars are shining this time, and there is a high probability that they will make money.

"Tiantian, our movie has a high chance of reaching over 100 million yuan."

Lu Zheng said with excitement.

Although I thought that a box office of 50 million would be enough, who would think that the box office is too much.

"One hundred million?"

Jing Tian murmured to himself, with a smile on his face.

"Director Lin's suggestion is very good. I heard from Ye Ning that many viewers who came out of the screening room of "Earthquake" turned around and bought tickets for "Xiu Chun Knife" and "My Beautiful Boss."

Lu Zheng said excitedly, he was about to see the money back.

"Uncle Lu, thank you."

Jing Tian's sudden words made Lu Zheng a little confused.

"Niece, we don't say this anymore, we should be happy now.

"Warring States" is almost a month away from filming, and the results will definitely be better by then.

From now on, we will invest in Hollywood movies ourselves and you will act in them..."
