Chapter 401 8.5 Billion Is Spent, and the Wolf Is Coming

Chapter 401 850 million spent, the wolf is coming

The next morning, Liu Yifei didn't let Lin Nan take her to Beijing Film Academy.

Her look also changed to light makeup and ordinary casual sweater.

Liu Yifei, who took off all the jewelry and tied her hair into a high ponytail, looked more pure and refined.

At first glance, it seemed that she was going to take an art exam, not to be a guest for the re-examination.

"Well, it was too conspicuous yesterday. I want to be more low-key today."

Hearing Miss Liu's words without any self-awareness, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing and complained:

"Unless I change your face, otherwise, I can't be low-key."

Liu Yifei looked very proud, rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, and chuckled.

"You are so sweet, I have to leave."

Putting on sunglasses, Liu Yifei got into the Ferrari neatly.

"Drive slower!"

"I know."

Looking at the red car body speeding away, Lin Nan shook his head. Driving this car to school is not low-key at all!

…………

As a film director, Lin Nan heard a lot of news today about Kodak's official application for bankruptcy protection.

This is the world's largest film manufacturer, affecting the entire film industry.

Fortunately, Lin Nan has been using a mix of digital cameras and film since a long time ago.

Unlike Feng Xiaogang and others, they will have to face the adaptation process from pure film movies to digital cameras.

I heard that the crew of "1942" is hoarding film. Some other powerful directors are also doing this! They prefer the texture of film movies and are used to shooting movies with film. This time they are forced to learn and adapt to digital cameras.

In addition, Kodak publicly sells its Oscar naming rights, which have eight years left.

In the domestic film and television industry, many big companies are ready to make a move, such as Huayi, Bona, Chengtian, Yinghuang...

But the one who shouted the loudest was Yang Zai, who shouted on Weibo at the first time:

"The naming rights of the Oscars are a good project! Juli Pictures has decided to bid for it!

We will take the lead and help the domestic film industry enter Hollywood, add bricks and tiles, and make contributions..."

The slogan was shouted loudly, but it was greeted with one-sided boos and ridicule online and in the industry.

"Before vowing to invest in 10 movies with a cost of hundreds of millions, how come it ended in vain?"

"I heard that Juli Pictures is already an empty shell and all the people have been laid off. Is it true?"

"Huang Shengyi has been secretly married to you for several years, and he pretends to be single on the show and flirts with men..."

...

The sequelae of "White Snake" are obviously not over yet.

Yang Zai said one sentence, and netizens and people in the circle would immediately criticize him ten times. In the end, he had to delete his Weibo post in shame, pretending that nothing happened, leaving only a joke.

…

Tudou went through five rounds of financing and received a total of 135 million US dollars.

Then it burned money, bought copyrights, kept losing money, and continued to increase its market share.

Everything was originally moving in a positive direction, until Wang Wei's own incident happened...

Youku came from behind and was the first to go public in the United States, and the situation was reversed instantly.

Lin Nan met Wang Wei in the company. In addition, there were many people from lawyers and accounting firms.

Equity agreements were signed, fingerprinted, stamped, and filed... without missing any links.

After these procedures were completed, the irrelevant personnel were sent out. These people must receive red envelopes in addition to their remuneration.

In the office, only Lin Nan and Wang Wei were left.

"Director Lin, you know. Although the amount of financing is 135 million US dollars, the market value is higher than this."

Lin Nan nodded. He certainly understood this truth. After all, Tudou has also expanded so much.

Even if things go wrong one after another, the market value will not drop to that point.

"The 850 million has been spent."

Even if he was mentally prepared, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

Spent 850 million in a month, he had never done this before.

He only spent 60 million dollars on the villa in Beverly Hills.

Of course, that was Lin Nan taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, and now it has appreciated a lot.

"It doesn't matter if the money is spent, as long as there is a gain. But what's going on?"

Lin Nan asked.

Some guys who shouted to withdraw before are now shirking their responsibilities!

Wang Wei was also a little embarrassed. "There are always smart people who want to take a gamble, especially when they know that new capital will come in to take over."

"But fortunately, I will put these few companies last and fight a protracted war.

The most important thing now is that I need money to continue to repurchase shares. Many shareholders are waiting. In addition, my share..."

Lin Nan knew what Wang Wei said.

"I won't break my promise. When we get enough shares back from those people, we will re-inject capital.

At that time, your 10% will become more, and Tudou still needs you, the founder, to continue to steer the ship."

Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Nan:

"When will the new funds arrive?"

"Soon, in the next few days."

...

Half an hour later, Wang Wei left Lin Nan Pictures.

According to the original plan, Lin Nan entered the market first to ensure that he got enough shares, and then the three companies would act together.

He took out his mobile phone and called Ye Ning.

"Director Lin? The box office of "Pacific Rim" is great, it has reached 1.3 billion. By the end of this week, it should reach 1.32 billion."

Ye Ning's voice was filled with excitement. "Pacific Rim" was his biggest achievement in the past two years.

"I didn't call to talk about this."

"That is?"

"Mr. Ye, please inform your group. You can enter the market. Tudou needs funds."

"Okay, no problem, I'll report it right away. If nothing else happens, the funds will be available at any time the day after tomorrow at the latest."

This efficiency shocked even Lin Nan. It was worthy of Wanda!

The same phone call was made to Wang Changtian, who seemed a little hasty.

It seems that something happened to the crew of "Sad Fairy Tale". Liu Shishi, the lead actor, suffered from pancreatitis and was admitted to the hospital.

For someone like Lao Wang, who is very careful about budgeting, it was quite distressing that the crew was delayed for a week.

"No problem, I'll prepare the funds now, don't worry!"

…

This time, Lin Nan ignored what the people at the bank said. He planned to directly use the funds in his account. After all, he couldn't wait a week in terms of time.

…

In the evening, Liu Yifei came back.

"They work really hard. They are only 17 or 18 years old. They started plastic surgery when they were less than 20 years old."

"Art candidates?"

"Yes, Dean Wang Jinsong canceled it on the spot, in front of the candidates. There was no need to wait until the results of the re-examination were announced."

Lin Nan was not surprised to hear that Wang Jinsong took action in person. This man was very strict every time he took the art exam.

"As a result, in the afternoon, a large number of reporters surrounded the art exam site, saying that the school discriminated against plastic surgery candidates."

"Then I'd like to hear how the hospital responded?"

"It was Teacher Wang who came forward and said that natural beauty is the most insurmountable. He does not accept candidates who have plastic surgery!"

As he spoke, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.

"what happened again?"

"I didn't notice it yesterday, but today I saw a lot of 'junior' people."

Lin Nan was confused by Liu Yifei, what did she say?

"Little Fan Bingbing, little Gong Li, little Zhou Dongyu... I also met several 'me's face to face, little Liu Yifei!"

Miss Liu hugged her belly and sat on the sofa, almost laughing. There is no lady image at all.

Lin Nan also smiles heartily, but that's it!

Every year during the art exam, there are always a few "little Fan Bingbing", "little Liu Yifei", "little Zhang Ziyi" in the media reports...

This phenomenon will only become more common the further we go.

…

The film bureau's sudden meeting invitation caught many people in the industry off guard.

It looked like he was in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived at short notice in the evening.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan set off for the General Administration. The nine o'clock meeting was really early!

After arriving, he realized that it was indeed a big deal.

Because all the people present were film companies, directors and producers, and some of them came back from other places.

Several state-owned enterprise bosses all feel as if they haven't had a good night's sleep and are a little out of sorts.

"What's going on?"

Ning Hao bumped into Lin Nan and asked with a yawn.

Feng Xiaogang next to him also yawned again and again, having rushed back all night last night.

Lu Chuan in the distance had a good chat with some old guys in the system.

…

As soon as the time came, Tong Gang on the podium spoke.

"I called you here temporarily today because I have something important to talk about."

The people below, except for a few state-owned enterprise bosses who seemed to know something, everyone else immediately sat upright and listened with their ears pricked up.

"Yesterday morning, we and across the ocean reached an agreement on a memorandum of understanding on WTO film-related issues..."

As soon as these words came out, 99% of the people present were not calm.

Is it finally here? !

Tong Gang sighed:

"Starting from this year, Hollywood's imported share-sharing movies have increased from 20 to 34, and all of them are mainly IMAX and 3D movies. The share-sharing ratio has been adjusted from 13% to 25%."

Before he could finish his words, noisy discussions suddenly broke out below. It's like a classroom in a big school classroom that can't be quiet.

"Quiet, this matter will be announced in the form of a formal document in two days. Everyone, please be prepared. This time, the wolf is really coming!"

The commotion started again.

"Tong Bureau, can't you change it?"

I don't know who asked the stupid question. Not to mention Tong Gang, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun and others in the first row all turned around and looked at that person like a fool. He was an old guy in the system.

"By the way, to be precise, starting from March, you will compete head-on with these Hollywood blockbusters. There are 34 movies in total, basically all of them are commercial movies!"

Lin Nan felt eyes sweeping over him.

"Director Ning Hao, Director Lin Nan, Director Chen Kaige, Director Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan...

You should all have movies released this year, so just be the vanguard! "

Hearing this, the people named were dumbfounded.

Lin Nan understood what this meant, which meant that once their movies were finalized, at least one imported film would be arranged to compete with them! Both are normal.

"Why don't you find some time alone and put in four, five, six...seven imported split-bill movies?"

Lin Nan made a suggestion jokingly, which instantly attracted a burst of approval.

Especially Feng Xiaogang, slapping his thighs and shouting good ideas...

But Tong Gang on the top had a dark face.

"What do you think this is? Are you playing house? You even specially found a time to let imported films fight each other..."

Tong Gang was angry on the top, and there was dead silence below.

"Don't think about it. The previous methods are no longer applicable. Get ready to fight with real swords and guns! Life and death depends on the quality of your movie..."

Tong Gang's words were very decisive. This time, a group of people really felt uneasy.

The wolf is really coming!
