Chapter 618 Shares, "Charlotte's Troubles", "Running Man"

During the May Day holiday, the first-day box office data of the first two movies have been on the headlines of the media.

"Produced by Guangguang, starring Lin Gengxin and Zhou Dongyu, the youth film "My Deskmate" earned 25.63 million on the first day of its release."

"Starring Zhen Zidan and Huang Shengyi, the movie "Ice: The Gate of Rebirth" lost to "My Deskmate" on the first day and closed at 22.92 million."

"Produced by Lin Nan Films, starring Zhao Liying, Huo Jianhua and others, the ancient costume fairy drama "The Journey of Flower" officially started shooting at Hengdian World Studios this morning."

...

Lin Nan slid the mouse.

The Hollywood blockbuster "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is strongly scheduled for late May, and I heard that Fan Bingbing will star in it. Hong Kong's "Overheard 3" will be released at the end of May.

"Director Yue is quite ruthless, and he actually said 40%!"

Looking away from the computer screen, Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and joked.

"I wanted to quote a high price so that they could have a negotiation window." Yue Jun spread his hands and smiled.

Lin Nan nodded. It turned out that Yue Jun's 40% offer was very good.

Although Zhang Chen rejected Yue Jun's intention to acquire 40% of the shares on the spot, he did not reject Lin Nan's film investment.

"He thinks 40% is too much, and I don't agree to 25%. After a lot of arguing, there is no result. Let's just go back and think about it again."

Yue Jun continued to add, looking like he was sure of victory.

"Although we didn't reach an agreement for the time being, I think they won't give up.

Once a person sees a real opportunity and temptation, he will never forget it and it will always linger in his mind. Unless he has great courage and absolute confidence to succeed on his own!"

Lin Nan analyzed in his mouth, this is human nature.

Suddenly, Yue Jun's phone rang.

The two looked at each other instantly.

"Happy Twist?"

"It's them."

"Answer it."

"Mr. Zhang, this is Yue Jun." The phone turned on the external speaker.

"Director Yue, we've considered it, 40% is still too much, it will affect the normal operation of the company..."

Lin Nan wanted to laugh when listening to Zhang Chen's "explanation" on the phone.

This is not about being afraid of affecting the company's operations, but about threatening his control over Happy Twist, and being afraid that it might be slowly eroded and occupied in the future.

At this time, a number was heard on the phone.

"...30%, we can only give so many shares at most. If it's more, I think Happy Twist can accumulate for a while, or find another company..."

Yue Jun looked at Lin Nan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Lin Nan nodded.

"30%?"

"Yes, Happy Twist's current market value is about 200 million..."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, how did you calculate the market value of 200 million? I don't think it's worth that much, right?"

Yue Jun was trying to lower the price, because Zhang Chen did falsely report the market value, but this is human nature.

"We have our own theater, our own brand, and all the programs are original, with a good reputation..."

"But the scale is not very good, and it is only famous around the capital. The profit scale of stage plays is very small..."

Looking at the two people arguing, Lin Nan smiled and interrupted:

"How about this, Mr. Zhang, I will give you 50 million for this 30% of the shares. This price is definitely higher than 30% of the actual market value. What do you think?"

Suddenly hearing Lin Nan's voice, Zhang Chen on the other side was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was Lin Nan.

He also knew that he was falsely reporting a high price, but this is a business after all, and he should strive for more.

"Since it is Director Lin who asked, I accept this price for the better development of the company in the future."

"If new investors are introduced in the future, Lin Nan Pictures must reserve the right to make additional investments."

"Okay."

"Okay, then let's make an appointment to sign the contract, Mr. Zhang."

…………

Yan Fei, Peng Damo, and Shen Teng, Ma Li, Song Yang and others who had just finished their performance were chatting in the backstage lounge.

These people are almost all the core members of Happy Twist.

"Mr. Zhang asked everyone to come over. He said there is something important to notify us." An assistant came running over and shouted.

Yan Fei and Shen Teng stood up, "Is it done?"

Others realized it later and rushed back immediately.

When everyone came to the office area to see Zhang Chen, the latter was drinking tea leisurely.

"Mr. Zhang?" Yan Fei asked first.

Zhang Chen put down the teacup in his hand, took a deep breath, and smiled.

"I have good news for everyone. I have already negotiated with Lin Nan Pictures. They invested 50 million in cash and became shareholders of Happy Twist, holding 30% of the shares.

Not only can we make movies, but you may also have a chance to make movies or TV series from Lin Nan Pictures in the future. Hehe..."

Everyone was excited when they heard the news.

The big screen is right in front of us!

"Finally, we are going to upgrade our guns." Shen Teng smiled and hugged Ma Li.

"Great, the company has money. Should we give it some bonuses first? Haha."

...

Zhang Chen ignored the group of people who were not doing their job properly, and looked at Yan Fei and Peng Damo, who were the company's director and screenwriter.

"Old Yan, Damo, which play should we adapt first?"

The investment in comedy movies is small, and the leading actors can be directly used by their own actors. After all, they are the ones acting on the stage and have rich experience, so the cost is even lower.

So, Zhang Chen made a decisive decision to start the film project.

"I think it's all right."

"Any one of our popular dramas will do."

"Why don't we just use today's one? Ma Li and I just finished performing."

Shen Teng interrupted, and everyone looked at him, including Zhang Chen.

"Well, we have agreed with Lin Nan Pictures today, and we also proposed to make a movie today, so it's better to choose a script than to use the same script, so we can use today's stage play. What do you two think?"

Zhang Chen asked Yan Fei and Peng Damo.

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay."

"Then let's take this one, and I'll leave the script to you two."

"Okay."

When Zhang Chen turned around and returned to the office, it was already lively outside.

"Good guy, you can do it, Brother Teng. This is "Charlotte's Troubles"!"

"Director Yan, Director Peng, when you are writing the script, add some scenes for me, and I want a big supporting role."

"Me too."

…………

"Hypnotist" produced by Wanda and starring Xu Zheng and Mo Wenwei also held its premiere.

However, Lin Nan did not go. He accompanied Liu Yifei to go shopping and have dinner together.

On Friday, "My Deskmate" and "Ice: The Gate of Rebirth" were released at the same time, and the difference in the first-day box office was less than 3 million.

But the daily box office of Saturday yesterday was released today, and the circle was dumbfounded.

The former's daily box office soared to 43.61 million, while the latter was only 26.27 million.

Even Lin Nan had to admit that youth films have been popular in the past two years.

As long as it is a nostalgic youth film, no matter how rubbish it is, as long as it can enter the theater, it can make money, even a lot of money.

"We haven't seen each other for half a year since you got married?"

In the restaurant, Lin Nan was talking to Zhu Yawen while peeling shrimps.

The shrimp meat put into the bowl was always picked up by Liu Yifei before Lin Nan could eat it himself, and then gave him a smile in return.

"Yes, I took a TV series. I just came back."

"The school said last time that you would go back to teach. How are you doing now?" Luo Jin asked while eating.

"We are going through the establishment process and the professional title issue. It will be settled in the second half of the year.

The school will officially announce it by then. Don't spread it out." Lin Nan smiled and warned.

Liu Yifei also nodded and joked: "When he gives a lecture, we will go to listen. It will definitely be very interesting. Well, I will also record it."

"Good idea!"

Zhu Yawen gave a thumbs up and looked at Lin Nan again, "When the time comes, I must go and see how 'Professor Lin' teaches, hehe..."

"Tsk tsk, it's quite dreamy. However, I think your class should be full, especially those people in the acting department, they will definitely grab your class or take your class for free." Luo Jin echoed.

Lin Nan must understand this point. Students from art schools understand the ways of the world better than students from ordinary universities.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's eat quickly. I saw several paparazzi around..."

...

More than an hour later, when the four of them left, there was already news about them on the hot search on Weibo.

"Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, had a dinner this morning, talking and laughing..."

After making an appointment to meet next time, Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei away.

The two did not go home, but went directly to the company.

Because Lin Nan just received a call from Yue Jun, Reba is back.

The team in South Korea has been running-in with Lin Nan Pictures and Guangguang for nearly a month.

The specific project planning for the first season of "Running Man" has been completed halfway.

It's time to set up the project for this variety show.

Back to the company, the two went directly to the office, Yue Jun and Reba, as well as their agent.

"Sister Yifei, Director Lin."

Good guy, after seeing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, Reba's first call was not the boss?

Lin Nan was a little speechless. What's wrong with these people? Why are they all so realistic? !

"Long time no see, have you graduated?"

"Yes, I got the highest score.

At the end of May, I will go back to get my diploma and degree certificate, and after attending the graduation ceremony, I will be completely liberated."

Reba smiled and nodded. Her resume is the best among all her classmates. The brand of Shanhai Media is useful everywhere.

"It's good to graduate. Stay in the capital in the future." Lin Nan said.

"Yes, I think so too.

Director Lin, did the company call me back this time to invite me to a play?"

Since receiving Yue Jun's call, Reba has been looking forward to it.

So after the defense and graduation performance, she rushed back immediately. Otherwise, she would stay in school until the end of May and come back after attending the graduation ceremony.

Talking about business, Lin Nan became more serious.

"How about Director Lin, you guys talk, I'll go out first? I still have to keep an eye on the contract with Happy Twist."

Yue Jun said with a smile, leading Reba's agent out of the office together.

Now there are only three people left, Reba can obviously feel that Lin Nan has something important to say.
