Chapter 619: Choice Is More Important than Hard Work, Investment Invitation

"What I'm going to tell you today will affect your future development path."

As soon as Lin Nan opened his mouth, Reba subconsciously tensed up.

"Development route?" She was a little nervous.

"Do you know about the South Korean movie "Running Man"?"

"I've watched a little bit. It's a very good variety show. It's very popular."

Reba nodded. She didn't know what this had to do with her development path. Could it be that she wanted to send herself to South Korea?

"The company has obtained the copyright of this variety show and is preparing to produce "Running Man" in China."

Lin Nan opened the topic directly. At this time, Reba was a little belatedly aware of it.

On the side, Liu Yifei stretched out her fair and slender fingers, picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate brought in by her assistant and put it to her red lips. The two complemented each other and were charming.

She looked at Reba and interrupted with a smile: "He wants to ask you if you would like to be a regular guest on "Running Man"."

"Yes, a permanent guest. The first season of this variety show will be jointly created by our company, Enlight, and the South Korean team. It will definitely be a hit."

Lin Nan said affirmatively under Reba's slightly dazed eyes.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why do you still ask me if I am willing?" Reba asked a little naively.

Lin Nan smiled at Reba: "It's a good thing, but it also has disadvantages. This is why you come back for an interview. This is related to your future development direction."

Reba turned around and looked at the eldest sister in confusion.

Miss Liu smiled and shook her head, indicating that she should continue listening to Lin Nan.

"Most people think that celebrities and actors are the same profession, but there is still a big difference."

“Real actors rely on their film and television works to speak for themselves, relying on their acting skills, awards, and audience recognition, which often requires outstanding talent or time.

People like Gong Li and Zhou Xun are actors first and then top actresses; while teachers Li Xuejian and Li Baotian are pure actors.

A real actor can be a top star, but it is difficult for a star to become a real actor! You should understand the relationship between actors and stars, which one comes first and which one comes last? "

Reba listened very carefully. These are the real big names and actors in the industry.

Lin Nan changed the subject, "Well, you sister Yifei is the kind of person who has the heart of an actress, but also has the face and body of a top star.

Although her journey as an actress is a little slow, it doesn't stop her from being an actor and also becoming a big star. She walks on two legs, so take her time. Ha ha……"

"Screw you. If you want to say that I'm less talented, just say so. I have a good mentality. I'm an actor. I can endure hardships and I'm making progress. I'm the Golden Horse Best Actress!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, a little arrogant, and said angrily.

"Your movie queen, that is, I will take you. Let you go by yourself, it will take years and years of the monkey... Oh, don't throw it away..."

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Nan caught the strawberry Liu Yifei feigned anger and threw it at him, then threw it into his mouth.

Reba looked at the fight between the two and felt very warm.

"Director Lin, what about me?"

Looking at Reba, Lin Nan became more serious.

"How long do you think it will take for you to enter the front line or even secure a first-line position if you rely on acting?

A hit drama, strong publicity, a hard push? And then rely on continued hype? This way is very tiring. If the acting is not up to par, it will end up being a joke.

On the road of being an actor, your average talent and your appearance will limit your acting career and achievements, and you will not be able to go far..."

Lin Nan said it very directly, without considering whether it would hurt his self-esteem, but an artist must have the mental ability to bear it.

Reba's face was already slightly pale and she nodded lightly. She knew that it was difficult for her to choose a script because of her ethnic minority face.

She doesn't have the talent of people like Gong Li and Zhou Xun, not to mention that if she spends a long time honing her acting skills, she probably won't be able to hone much.

"Now the company has a shortcut for you."

"Go to "Running Man"?" Reba responded quickly this time.

"Yes, through this variety show, you have a 90% chance of becoming a first-line actress. But there is a prerequisite, you must do it."

Reba's mind was buzzing, and all she could think of was the phrase "You have a 90% chance of becoming a first-tier actress."

"Director Lin, tell me." Reba's eyes suddenly lit up. .

"If you have watched the original version of "Running Man", you should know that this variety show must be open-minded and open-minded. If you can be open-minded, it will not be 90%, but infinitely close to 100%."

At this point, Lin Nan paused: "But this also means that you have embarked on a different path, becoming a star first and then an actor.

You will become a popular female star, but you will be just an ordinary actor. I am talking about acting. Of course, you can also make progress secretly and surprise everyone. "

"I am willing to choose this path."

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Reba gave her choice. She looked at Lin Nan with extremely firm eyes.

"I've been with the company for 4 years and I've rarely seen you so decisive. It's great. This variety show will continue and will become your base..."

Lin Nan is very satisfied with Reba's attitude. Be decisive when it's time to be decisive. Choice is more important than hard work!

"Well, I listen to the company." Reba nodded firmly again.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Liu Yifei shook her fist at her.

"Thank you, Sister Yifei, I will try my best."

…………

"My Deskmate" earned 110 million in three days, surpassing "Iceberg: The Gate of Rebirth" by 40 million, which once again made the industry see the charm of low-cost youth films.

The film production industry has also strengthened the idea that youth-themed films are popular genres, and they are in the spotlight. As long as they can be released, they will make money.

Many film and television companies have not finished their youth-themed films, but they have hurriedly launched new films of the same type.

Film companies that have not made youth films before also hurriedly launched projects, hastily wrote scripts, and formed filming teams.

Youth-themed films have already entered the assembly line production mode. The quality does not matter, as long as they can be shot and released as quickly as possible.

Many newly established small companies have no experience in film production. How to shoot? Simple!

Find the original speech of Director Lin Nan and apply it to it. Haven't you seen that big companies do the same? !

Time flies and two days have passed. It's the 29th.

In the film market, Xu Zheng's "Hypnotist" was officially released.

The matter of Lin Nan Films investing in Happy Twist has also come to the signing stage.

The signing location this time is Happy Twist, which is considered as Lin Nan's respect for the other party, and it is also the first time he meets Zhang Chen.

The lawyers of both parties are checking the contract, and there is a notary on the side.

Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Allen, Song Yang... Chang Yuan...

A group of core members of Twist are also watching around, looking very excited and happy.

"Director Lin, no problem."

"Mr. Zhang, it's OK."

"Please."

Lin Nan and Zhang Chen signed and fingerprinted the three investment agreements.

"Director Lin, welcome to join the Happy Twist family."

After collecting the equity transfer agreement, Zhang Chen and Lin Nan hugged instead of shaking hands.

"We'll be family members from now on. The funds will arrive before noon."

After that, Lin Nan looked at the actors of Happy Twist: "I'm very curious now, what will be the first movie of Twist?"

"It's "Charlotte's Troubles". We're working on the script and plan to start filming in the second half of the year."

Hearing the name, Lin Nan subconsciously looked at Shen Teng and Ma Li.

"Director Lin is right, it's the two of them. They're partners in stage plays and the Spring Festival Gala, and they'll definitely not change actors in the movie! They're the most famous actors in the company, haha..."

Zhang Chen noticed Lin Nan's eyes and said with a smile.

"Filming team, logistics, post-production, you can ask for these."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Half an hour later, Lin Nan led people away from Happy Twist.

When the company's account had an extra 50 million, a group of people were extremely excited.

"I seem to see a bright future ahead, and my thousand-mile horse finally has the opportunity to run."

"Shen Teng, you're so wretched." Ma Li teased.

"Are you saying that Mr. Zhang restricted you? Our temple is too small?" Song Yang began to dig a hole.

"Ah, alas, I dare not say that. Without Mr. Zhang, we would not be here today, nor would we be here tomorrow, haha..."

...

In the afternoon, Lin Nan Pictures issued an announcement, which quickly became a hot topic in the circle.

In fact, Happy Twist also did the same thing on Weibo, but after all, its influence is limited.

Many media are reprinting and reporting, and many people in the film and television industry are paying attention to it.

"It is reported that Lin Nan Pictures acquired 30% of Happy Twist's equity in the form of a 50 million cash investment this morning."

"The latter is an entertainment and cultural media company, and its main business is stage plays. It has a complete creative team and dozens of original stage plays. Its works have been on the Spring Festival Gala stage several times. Its artists include sketch actors Shen Teng and Ma Li..."

"Will Lin Nan Pictures be involved in the field of stage plays?"

...

An announcement has caused a heated discussion in the circle.

"Director Lin has a wide range of interests?"

"If you count it this way, Director Lin Nan now has quite a few industries, including:

Lin Nan Pictures, Crystal Pictures (more than half of the shares), Tiangong Colors, Shanhai Media, Tudou (suspected to be the largest shareholder), Weibo (shareholder), Happy Twist (shareholder), Huayi (shareholder)!"

"Upstairs, you forgot one company!"

"Yes, you forgot one company, Hongxingwu, that's the dowry!"

"Uh... is he still in need of a concubine?"

...

On Weibo, there are all kinds of discussions inside and outside the circle.

Lin Nan didn't get any peace at home, as calls came one after another.

Several partners were asking him why he wanted to invest in a stage play company with no prospects?

"I'm optimistic about them, so I invested. Fifty million is not much."

When Lin Nan received Wang Changtian's call, he spoke casually.

"I really don't understand your operation, but I subconsciously feel that you won't do anything that will put you at a disadvantage!"

After hearing Wang Changtian's words, Lin Nan really didn't know how to refute them. They were all old foxes.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Mr. Wang, the project of "Running Man" will be officially announced in the next two days."

"If the popular outdoor reality show in South Korea is brought to the mainland, I guess these domestic companies and artists will fight, right? Haha..."

Wang Changtian smiled very proudly. These days, he has become more and more optimistic about "Running Man".

The people in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry are not fools. "Running Man", which is endorsed by Lin Nan Films and Guangguang, can definitely not be shoddy.

As long as you are an insider, you should be able to realize that this is a reality show to flatter people!

"Once it's announced, we'll start selecting people."

…………

On the last day of April, Lin Nan did not go to the company and stayed at home to rest.

He and Liu Yifei were going to attend the premiere of "Return" on May Day.

The movie was only released on the 16th, but the premiere was held on the 1st. This was very bold in the eyes of the film and television industry.

Because once the premiere is held prematurely, it is very likely that the movie will be deliberately smeared by trolls on the Internet before it is released.

This kind of thing happens all the time in the film industry.

But thinking that this is Zhang Yimou's movie, everyone has a natural feeling. Director Zhang should be full of confidence in his movie.

May Day, morning.

Liu Yifei, dressed like a strong woman, got into the car with Lin Nan and set off to the premiere of "Return".

"There should be a lot of people in the circle supporting me today."

Lin Nan muttered, after all, this is a realistic-themed literary film in which Zhang Yimou and Gong Li join forces again after many years.

"I'm here to study. Movie fans call Teacher Gong Li 'Gong Huang'!"

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said it very seriously.

"Some things cannot be learned..."

Before Lin Nan could finish speaking, he was punched.

An hour later, the two arrived at their destination.

LeTV gave Zhang Yimou high-level courtesy, which was indeed much more demanding than Zhang Dapao at the time.

Walking through the red carpet in a hurry, the atmosphere was really lively.

Lin Nan led Liu Yifei directly to the creative circle of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, and nodded in response to the greetings from the side.

"Director Zhang, Sister Gong Li..."

"Lin Nan, Yifei."

"Director Lin, Yifei."

To be honest, today is Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's movie, otherwise Lin Nan really wouldn't come to LeTV's activities.

He saw Mr. Jia, surrounded by a large number of actors and stars, mostly first- and second-tier actors.

You can hear from a distance that Jia Yueting is promoting "LeTV Pictures", "stocks", "subsidiary listing"...

The people around, actors and celebrities, all looked very interested.

“LeTV Pictures will open up part of its shares to the film and television industry in the second half of the year, and all companies and studios in the industry, especially big directors and well-known actors, can invest in the company.

We will be listed on the A-share market within three years...The market is developing rapidly now. Once listed, the market value will definitely reach more than 50 billion..."

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went to the first row of seats, they happened to hear clearly what Mr. Jia said.

Good guy, what a loud tone!

"Director Lin, I heard that you recently invested in a small company that produces stage plays?

Coincidentally, LeTV Pictures, a subsidiary of our group, will begin to accept investment from the film and television industry in the second half of the year.

Is Director Lin’s company interested in investing in it? We can send a formal investment invitation to Lin Nan Pictures..."
