Chapter 578: Miscellaneous Events During the Lunar New Year Holiday, Head-On Conflict

"In the morning, Director Lin Nan, on behalf of China Film Group, Wanda, Guangguang and other producers of the film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", signed a total box office betting and profit-sharing agreement with theater companies across the country."

"The agreement continues the total box office betting and profit-sharing ratio of "Bad Genius" and "Pacific Rim".

That is: when the total box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is fixed at three different intervals, namely, below 800 million, between 800 million and 1.2 billion, and above 1.2 billion, the producers will get 43%, 44.5%, and 46% of the shareable box office according to the profit-sharing agreement."

Another dazzling news!

The production industry sighed that only Lin Nan could chew these theaters.

Other film companies, including the two industry leaders, Star Media and Huayi, have done things like selling good by reducing the profit-sharing ratio in exchange for the theaters to increase the number of screenings.

Compared with Lin Nan, the behavior of these two companies is undoubtedly inferior.

Come to think of it, Lin Nan is many times stronger than Zhang Weiping, who threatened the cinema chain with Zhang Yimou two years ago.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to get the cinema chain to sign the total box office betting and sharing agreement one after another willingly.

On the other hand, Zhang Weiping was directly eliminated after a complete defeat.

The reason is that it still depends on the box office, and in this regard, Lin Nan is much stronger than Zhang Yimou.

…

The Lunar New Year file is like a large battlefield, with several movies released and participating in the war every day.

But most films will inevitably become cannon fodder, becoming the foil and background board of a few movies.

And these few movies are almost all movies directed by big directors or big productions.

They have their own topics and traffic, a certain audience base and stronger box office appeal, which is an advantage that other movies can hardly surpass!

As a main theme commercial blockbuster directed by Lin Nan and released during the Spring Festival, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will only be better than it!

But even so, Lin Nan also hopes to promote the movie as much as possible.

"Don't ask me about movies like "Storm" and "Personal Tailor"... I can only take time to go to the premiere of "New Police Story 2013"."

Looking at the invitation in Yue Jun's hand, Lin Nan said speechlessly.

These people sent invitations to him by name, but where does he get so much time and energy? He doesn't have the interest.

"In the final analysis, it's because Director Lin has too many news recently, and they are all shocking big news, so everyone is staring at you. Haha..."

Yue Jun said with a smile, looking proud of it.

Lin Nan didn't comment. Isn't this what these people think?

He has been back for two days, and there are still many media who want to make an appointment for an interview. There are people squatting downstairs of the company now.

"You can do whatever you want. I'll go back first. I have to go to promote with Guo Fan and others tomorrow."

As he spoke, Lin Nan got up and walked out, and Yue Jun followed him out of the office.

…………

At noon, Li Bingbing posted a photo with Deng Wendi.

In this way, the attention of the mainland entertainment industry was once again attracted by Ms. Deng after half a year.

From being "divorced" in the middle of the year to completing the formalities in the past two days, Deng Wendi did not make a fuss, and behaved extremely calmly and cooperatively.

This respectful and submissive attitude also allowed her to get a "drop in the bucket" compensation from the media tycoon despite the prenuptial property agreement.

That is, Deng Wendi received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate, including the capital courtyard, and hundreds of millions of dollars in breakup fees.

These are actually secondary. What the entertainment industry is most concerned about is that Deng Wendi also posted on Weibo:

She said that she would invest in the film and television media company of Li Bingbing and her sister to provide help and bridges for domestic films and actors to go overseas.

It has to be said that this is a precise grasp of the domestic film and television entertainment industry.

Even if she divorced the media tycoon, she is still a big figure in the circle with her many years of connections and wealth. Capital! It can make countless actors and artists flatter and fawn on her.

At around eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Nan met several long-lost main cast members.

Han Sanping, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Bingbing, Luo Jin, Guo Fan, Han Jianu.

"Hey? Where's Huang Xiaoming?" Lin Nan asked.

"Director Lin, did you forget so quickly?

He's very busy, with "The Best Life for a Woman Who Acts Like a Coquettish Person" and "The Splendid Adventure of Jin Xiu Yuan". I heard that there's still some scenes in "The Crossing" that haven't been finished yet."

Fan Bingbing reminded with a smile, and didn't forget to tease Huang Xiaoming.

"Fortunately, he comes back every three or four days to cooperate with the promotion, and nothing has gone wrong so far." Guo Fan explained.

Lin Nan patted his forehead, because he had forgotten about it.

"He's really busy with this drama."

It's just that Huang Xiaoming is popular, and he's also a top-tier actor and Golden Rooster Award winner. If it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to take on Wu Yusen's drama.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan subconsciously thought of Yang Mi's shadow in her mind. She was also a fool at the beginning, and she chose to run into Chen Kaige's gun!

"Where is Yifei? Didn't she come today?" Han Jianu looked around and asked Lin Nan.

During the promotion a few days ago, she and Liu Yifei were the only two girls of similar age in the crew who could chat. I didn't see anyone today, and I was a little uncomfortable.

Lin Nan couldn't help but smile. Miss Liu was still sleeping at home at this moment, and the reason was also very legitimate:

"She said that since I'm back, she'll let me come, and she'll give herself a few days off to have a good rest."

"Tsk, being lazy is being lazy, and you have a lot of excuses..."

"Let's go, hurry up, we've made an appointment with the Central Academy of Drama, and we're going to have a film presentation in the morning." Han Sanping urged.

...

On the seventh day of the release of "No Man's Land", the daily box office only dropped by 20 million, closing at 17.2 million.

A large number of positive reviews online have shown this road crime film its impressive box office potential and vitality.

On the other hand, "The Four" is different.

After three days of hard work, it earned 89.34 million in box office.

But on the fourth day, the daily box office was cut in half from 26.4 million the day before to 12.2 million.

This daily box office reduction made the film industry feel a little painful. This is no longer a normal reduction, but an avalanche!

The situation of "The Four" has also made the production industry once again have some resistance to traditional martial arts films.

It may really be hopeless.

Lu Yang is still perfecting "The Blade of the Assassin 2", and he also read this information.

However, in his eyes, the "The Blade of the Assassin 2" on his hands is different from "The Four Famous Detectives 2", and he is also different from Chen Jiashang.

"Even Xu Ke has a new style. In contrast, Director Chen Jiashang still hasn't made a breakthrough and is out of date..."

After muttering, Lu Yang buried his head in the script of "The Blade of the Assassin 2" again.

He is confident that he can definitely finish the final draft of the script within half a month, and then the project will be established!

...

During this period, if you want to ask which actor in the circle is the most frustrated or the most ridiculed.

Then I think it should be Yang Mi.

Since she left Shanhai Media at the beginning of the year, she has been the subject of discussion in the circle.

Most of the fans support her to start her own business, while the other part thinks that she should not leave the big tree of Lin Nan Pictures.

Many competitors and companies should also be waiting to see her joke.

Fortunately, in the past year, the performance of many movies and TV series has made her fans soar, and her salary and value have also soared, standing firmly in the forefront of the first-line young actresses.

But the news during this period has really made her the object of ridicule in the industry, the kind that cannot be refuted!

Even the members of the "Tiny Times 3" crew looked at her with a hint of complexity. Was it pity? Sympathy? Or gloating?

"Who would have thought that Director Lin kept it so secret. He is not a small shareholder of Crystal Pictures, but a big boss with more than half of the shares...

He has a well-known Hollywood film company! "The Invisible Guest" has also grossed over 100 million US dollars..."

Yang Mi murmured softly, her face extremely gloomy, and her heart was bleeding uncomfortably.

She knew what she had lost. Invisibly, she lost the opportunity in Hollywood.

"Zhang Yi has joined the "Pacific Rim" crew... It means that several of us have opportunities, why didn't I wait a little longer?"

"Mi Mi, are you thinking about those things again?"

Zeng Jia came over at the right time. Where in the world can you regret? Even if there is, you can't eat it...

"Jia Jia?"

"Think about it, looking at the mainland entertainment industry, apart from those big actresses who have won awards and starred in foreign films, who among the young actresses can compare to you?"

Seeing that Yang Mi still had a face full of resentment and entanglement, Zeng Jia continued: "Don't think too much, you are already the best young actress.

Those big actresses, even Liu Yifei, all have big directors or giant companies behind them. From this point of view, you don't have their background but have worked hard to this point. It is really an inspirational template!"

Yang Mi forced a smile. Zeng Jia's words were right, but she was still unwilling.

"There is another thing. According to the plan, our studio will be upgraded to a company after the new year. As for the name, I plan to use "Jiaxing", and call it "Jiaxing Media". What do you think?"

"Well, it's up to you, it's all the same..."

Yang Mi nodded and said casually. She didn't care about these things.

Central Academy of Drama. Drama Auditorium.

Han Sanping held the microphone and talked about the educational significance of the play "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" on the stage.

In fact, there is no need to explain in such detail, because the drama that the Central Academy of Drama usually rehearses includes "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

However, the nearly 200 students, teachers and department leaders below still listened very carefully.

After all, the person standing on the stage is Han Sanping!

"Brother Lin, my father is obviously playing a villain, but his current posture looks like Yang Zirong?!"

Han Jianu is the deputy director, so she sits next to Lin Nan. She can whisper by slightly turning sideways.

Lin Nan glanced at Han Sanping again.

Well, isn't it?

Han Sanping's attitude of pointing out the situation and talking freely is like a hero.

This is exactly the tone he used to speak in public when he was the chairman!

In less than five minutes, Han Sanping finished his speech, and there was warm applause from the audience, which was no less than the applause Lin Nan just received.

"Why do I feel like I'm back to Beijing Film Academy when I come to the Central Academy of Drama this time? It's so popular!" Guo Fan also whispered.

"Hmm? It should be because of Director Lin..." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

Lin Nan took the microphone again. According to the convention, he, as a director, had to answer some questions about the film.

He originally thought that the students of the Central Academy of Drama would ask some more professional questions, but the result was not like that.

"Director Lin, "The Invisible Guest" was released for 11 days and received 140 million US dollars. How much can you get?"

This tacky question made the atmosphere lively, and even Han Sanping and others laughed.

"Haha, I can only say that Crystal Pictures can get half of the shareable box office." Lin Nan gave a half answer.

"Director Lin, the school invited you to teach at the Central Academy of Drama before, why didn't you agree?"

Good guy, when this question was asked, all the students of the Central Academy of Drama seemed to prick up their ears, only the teachers and department leaders in front smiled helplessly.

"There are countless excellent teachers in the Central Academy of Drama, and they don't need an inexperienced novice like me, don't you think?"

Lin Nan still didn't publicly say that he would teach at the Beijing Film Academy.

There have been enough news about him recently, so let's leave some space for others in the headlines.

"The art exam is about to start, can Director Lin come to the Central Academy of Drama to be an examiner?"

I don't know which student asked this question, even the department leaders in the front row widened their eyes and were obviously interested.

"So it's not fate. During that time, in addition to Oscar public relations, I also had a movie plan to do..."

"Movie plan?"

...

This group of people really caught Lin Nan and asked him questions for nearly an hour.

Fortunately, the trip of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to the Central Academy of Drama ended successfully.

After the crew members had a "reception banquet" at the Central Academy of Drama, they went back to their homes not long after.

However, the media's news also spread quickly, and what Lin Nan said at the Central Academy of Drama has been reported.

"Director Lin Nan is suspected to start a new movie project at the beginning of next year. The specific situation needs further understanding..."

…………

"Haha, further understanding? Why does it sound like a blind date!"

Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Okay, what's so funny. At that time, we should consider filming "Manchester by the Sea"."

Lin Nan put his arm around Liu Yifei's waist and said with a chuckle.

"I just think the media is so interesting. You just said the four words 'film plan' and they put you on the headlines. They look so good."

"Isn't that what they do for a living? Haha..."

Before Lin Nan finished speaking, the phone on the table vibrated.

"Boss La?"

Liu Yifei instantly let go of Lin Nan and let him answer the phone. She smiled and didn't disturb him.

"Hello, Boss La?"

"Let me tell you, you two are going to become competitors this time..."

Five minutes later, Lin Nan and La Peikang said goodbye and hung up the phone.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei came up and asked curiously.

"Well, Xixi, we may have to fight."

"Ah? Why?"

Looking at Lin Nan's serious look, Liu Yifei frowned and asked.

"Look at your silly look, it's a movie. You voiced and starred in "Frozen". China Film and Disney have already agreed on the specific release date."

"When?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei's eyes widened instantly and she was a little excited.

This is her first time to dub an animated film, in both Chinese and English!

"On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, it was only five days apart from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". Although they are not on the same track, they are still competitors! Because you will be used for publicity!"

Lin Nan smiled and pinched Liu Yifei's face, which was really smooth.

This publicity is not a bad thing. To a certain extent, it is also promoting Liu Yifei.

I think the mainland media will be even more excited.

Because "Liu Yifei's "Frozen" and Lin Nan's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will collide head-on in the same schedule", isn't this news very interesting?
