Chapter 839 A Good and Experienced Boss; Shanhai Cinema

Chapter 839 A good and experienced boss; Shanhai Cinema...

Directed by Lin Nan and co-produced by 7 top giants in the production industry, the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong" has decided on the first actor of this movie!

Once this gossip in the industry spread, its popularity immediately caught up with the "big event" of Lin Nan Pictures unilaterally "banning" Anle Cinema.

Actors and artists in the circle are all restless and eager to try.

But what everyone doesn't know is that this is actually the second actor to play a role in the film.

At the same time, the online voting activity for the movie "Eternal Love" has also passed the halfway point.

The current data is simply shocking to the film and television industry.

Because Liu Yifei, who has never done any publicity, has not issued any press releases, and has never mentioned topics related to "Eternal Love" from beginning to end...

She ranked first with an overwhelming number of votes!

Following closely behind is Shu Chang, after all, her national popularity is not much inferior to Miss Liu.

Moreover, the vixen of the year was also the first love in the minds of countless people - "The Lotus Lantern": Xiaoyu.

Yang Mi was the one who was biting Shu Chang tightly, and even had a back-and-forth relationship with him. When it comes to popularity, she is really popular!

After the top three, there were a series of popular actresses such as Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Bai Bing, Yang Ying, and Ni Yi.

The votes of these people were almost the same, some were real, some were fake, and some were watered down. Anyway, the battle was tense and difficult to resolve for a while.

In contrast to the voting for actresses, the voting for male actors seemed a bit boring.

Because there were too many candidates, the participation of netizens was not high, and no actor had an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, in the eyes of many industry insiders, the final decision on the male lead may still be made by the production team of Alibaba Pictures, rather than relying entirely on the vote.

...

In the company, in the office.

Lin Nan read ten lines at a glance, looking at the "apology letter" issued by Enlight Pictures, with a rather teasing expression.

This is just a process, one of the items in the General Administration's notification document.

And Enlight Pictures is just "following the rules", because the wording of this "apology letter" can be seen: very official, not at all sincere.

"Director Lin, they should not steal again.

But apart from the above-board means of public welfare screening, other small actions have not stopped, and some have even become worse."

Although it is shameless to spend money to buy box office and inflate the numbers, there is really no way to investigate.

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and said speechlessly:

"This is an old fox... There are always leeks to pay for it. I heard that he will go to the Venice Film Festival to sell copyrights next."

"Leeks? Stock market? Miserable! Tsk tsk tsk."

Yue Jun laughed and joked, then got down to business:

"There's news from Guangguang that the previously laid out distribution theaters for "Go Away Tumor" have eliminated Anle.

In addition, the premiere and banquet time are officially scheduled for August 4, which is also a good time to hold a celebration banquet for "Assassin's Blade 2"!

"Yeah, good."

When it comes to "Assassin's Blade 2", Lin Nan and Yue Jun's mood is much better.

At the beginning, Lu Yang said at the premiere that he hoped the box office performance could guarantee 500 million and sprint to 600 million.

But now, after 23 days of release, the total box office has not only exceeded 600 million to 680 million, but it looks like it can also rush to 700 million!

Because yesterday's daily box office was 5.03 million, and there are still 7 days before the end of the show.

As for the other "The Return of the Great Sage", it is already a phenomenal hit movie - the benchmark and banner of domestic animated films.

After 23 days of release, the total box office closed at 1.135 billion. Just yesterday, it appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Culture.

When the Venice International Film Festival opens in September, "The Return of the Great Sage" will undoubtedly be the top priority of Lin Nan Pictures' copyright transaction.

However, when it comes to box office, "The Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" are still topics that cannot be avoided.

The former took 8 days to cut 980 million.

Although the daily box office has been cut in half and cut in half again due to word of mouth, it has dropped to just over 10 million, but 1 billion box office is definitely in the bag.

Otherwise, why would Sohu and Dong Chengpeng open champagne at halftime and start preparing for the celebration banquet so early? Its cost is only 50 million!

Finally, it is "Monster Hunt" which is at the peak of public opinion.

Under various operations, Enlightenment got 1.245 billion in just 9 days. It really proves the saying: If you have no shame, you are invincible!

…………

In the afternoon, the official announcement of "The Man from Macau 3" by Bonner and Wang Jing at the same time really surprised the film and television industry and countless netizens.

In the eyes of the industry, the "The Man from Macau" series is indeed profitable, so much so that the lineup of the third part can be so luxurious:

"Produced by Bonner, directed by Wang Jing, "The Man from Macau 3" has officially completed the casting. The list of main actors is announced as follows:

Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Cheung Hok-yau, Cheung Ka-fai, Liu Jialing, Li Yuchun, Heung Chiu-keung, Xiang Zuo..."

"After many years, God of Gamblers, Knife Boy, and Long Wu reunited in "The Man from Macau 3"... The film will officially start shooting in early August."

When Lin Nan saw the news, he subconsciously guessed that King Liu was going to shoot a human relationship movie again.

Because according to the usual behavior of Hong Kong films, this kind of commercial series will only get worse and worse until they are "squeezed" out of any commercial value.

Unfortunately, "Macau 3" fits the characteristics of this kind of production - therefore, Andy Lau's favor is quite valuable, and I'm afraid he will have to take the blame and be scolded again!

"Alibaba Pictures contacted Hongxingwu."

Hearing Liu Yifei say this, Director Lin immediately became energetic and immediately put down the tablet in his hand.

"Do you really have an idea for me?"

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, but wasn't the voting over yet?

"I didn't say much else. I just sent an invitation to attend a film seminar later."

Miss Liu explained with a smile that Lin Nan had gained a lot of experience. An IP movie, all nonsense, but also a seminar? !

"Then thank you for the invitation. It will save you trouble later."

"Changchang has also received invitations. I estimate that among the actors in the industry who were voted online, Ali was not left behind."

Liu Yifei's analysis was very clear, and it seems that this possibility is indeed very high. This hype is definitely another top gimmick and a hot topic in public opinion.

"Both of you, please stay away. Fans want you to accept it. Those are just good wishes. This is a trap, don't jump. At least it won't do any good to you two."

"I know that if you can't finish such a long story in a movie, it will only end up in pieces. Following you over the years, it's not like I haven't improved in terms of scripts."

Liu Yifei pouted and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan angrily. She actually looked down on her after telling her so many times!

…

The summer vacation is about to pass halfway, and the end of July seems to be flying by. No. 25, No. 26, No. 27, No. 28, No. 29!

Hua Yi's "Destined" only lived for 5 days after it was released on the 24th, and was hastily released on the 29th.

Its total box office revenue was reported to be 37.78 million, and 90% of the box office revenue was obtained on the first and second day of release, which is terrible.

But helpless, who said that several movies in the same period are too cruel!

On the morning of the 30th, the summer season officially entered the second half of the "battlefield". Because two blockbusters were released at the same time.

"Co-produced by China Film, Pony, Huayi, LeTV, and Youzu, directed by Director Wu Yusen, starring Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo and others, the movie "The Other Side" was officially released this morning. "

"Director Wu Yusen was interviewed by reporters on Hong Kong Island and emphasized:

"The Other Side" is the real essence of the movie "The Other Side", and "The Other Side" is the perfect foreshadowing for it. I hope fans and audiences can calm down, put aside their prejudices, be patient, and don’t miss it..."

"Produced by China Film, co-directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, and Cheng Shiqing, starring Fan Bingbing, Li Ming, Wu Zun, Ning Jing and others.

The large-scale historical costume film "The Lady of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" took 6 years to shoot and was officially launched in theaters across the country early this morning..."

"According to theater chain data, due to the extremely poor reputation and box office of the previous film, the overall screening rate of "The Other Side" was only 3.6%; the first-day screening rate of "The Lady of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" was 20.1%."

…

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the movie information from the outside world.

After breakfast at nine o'clock, he was ready to leave for the company. Before leaving, he asked Liu Yifei again if he wanted to come with him, but he was still decisively rejected.

At this time, someone at Lin Nan Pictures arrived earlier than Lin Nan.

On the third floor, there is a large conference room.

I don’t know how long ago it was when all the artists last met.

Today, several people sat together again, and it felt quite "nostalgic", but everyone's smiles were a little sad.

"I said, Lao Lei, what are you doing here? This is about our signing of actors. Does it have anything to do with you, who runs a studio?"

Zhang Yi still looked like an old man, teasing Lei Jiayin beside him. This scene also made Zhao Liying and Reba laugh.

"Just look at the excitement. You guys have already seen the excitement before me. Besides, what contract actors? After today, they are all studio owners and wage earners!"

Lei Jiayin was also a fool and replied with a smile.

However, these words instantly made the three people on the opposite side feel a little unnatural.

"Actually, the company did this for our own good and gave us an opportunity for upward development. Anyway, I have gained a lot in the past few months. Well, a win-win situation!"

"Great harvest? Look at you, your income has doubled?"

"Hey hey hey... don't say this, don't say this."

Seeing Lei Jiayin's wretched appearance, Zhao Liying and Reba's nervousness eased a lot.

At this moment, Jiang Yuerou and his assistant pushed the door open and came in.

"Director Jiang."

"Director Jiang."

…

Four greetings, almost in unison.

"Well, everyone, please take a seat. Director Lin has just arrived. He is in the office now and will come over later."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuerou signaled her assistant to hand out the three document bags in her hand.

At this moment, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, and Reba couldn't help but become serious, and took the document bag one after another. .

"This is the artist management contract you signed with the company. Zhang Yi signed it with Lin Nan Pictures, Liying and Reba signed it with Shanhai Media..."

The document bag was opened, and three contracts came into view.

I saw that Zhang Yi's face was obviously a little yellowed. After all, in two months, it will be 9 years!

"It's good that everyone is here."

Lin Nan's voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone looked up, it was Lin Nan, Yue Jun, two assistants, and the administrative staff.

Another round of greetings ended, and the conference room became quieter than before.

"Zhang Yi's contract expires in September next year; Reba still has two years and eight months; Xiao Zhao has the longest, three years and nine months, right?"

Hearing Lin Nan's question, the three people nodded immediately.

"Director Lin, why..."

Lin Nan raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Yi's question.

"Listen to me. The company plans to open a studio for you and transfer all your remaining contract time into the studio contract. Of course, the studio contract will not be short.

The reasons for doing this are as follows:

First, the current film and television industry pay, endorsements, announcements... The market price continues to soar.

It must be more exciting to work for yourself, and the company will also make more money! Am I right, Lei Jiayin?"

Lin Nan laughed and teased, Lei Jiayin smiled and didn't say anything.

"Second, it's still about the income of actors and artists. You will earn more and more, and it will be easier and easier. In terms of paying taxes, studios will definitely be more favorable than individuals and pay less.

But I want to warn you here, remember: supporting you to open a studio is to allow you to legally avoid taxes, not to allow you to evade taxes, evade taxes, or evade taxes!"

"Third, although I don't want to admit it, it's a fact: in China, actors are young, unless you are a real acting school.

Actors with acting skills are more popular as they get older, just like Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin. Of course, more acting actors can only get by with "food and clothing", which involves many practical problems.

As actresses grow older, their competitiveness will become lower and lower, and they need to be promoted to capital as soon as possible. Even if they can't be promoted smoothly, at least they have to save enough wealth for themselves! Only then can they stay calm in the circle."

After saying this, Lin Nan looked at Zhao Liying and Reba, especially Reba.

"Reba, you have made more money for the company in the past two years than the three of them. Is it over 100 million?"

Lin Nan asked Jiang Xingrou about the last question.

"Yes, over 100 million, after tax."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and Zhao Liying were all shocked.

Reba smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's all the company's training, and "Running Man"..."

"When popular actresses are young, their ability to attract money is better than that of male artists of the same level.

After setting up a studio, the resources given to you by the company will not decrease, and there should be more resources outside; save more for yourself, just in case."

Lin Nan smiled and advised Reba, he should be considered a senior and good boss in the film and television industry!

"Yes, thank you Director Lin. I want to go to see Sister Yifei today. Is she at home? Or does she have any notice?"

"She is busy writing wedding invitations at home. You can go and help."

Lin Nan nodded, his voice was very light. Miss Liu attaches great importance to the wedding. He thinks that handwritten invitations will be more intimate for some guests.

The four artists present are not stupid. They can tell that the company is doing this for their own good, and it is a win-win situation.

"Okay, I'll go help."

To be honest, the other three are still very envious of the relationship between Reba and Liu Yifei.

Because they all know that Liu Yifei can influence the casting of Director Lin's movies and can decide the roles...

While several people are muttering in their hearts, Lin Nan is the same.

The four artists of the company are all in the first line.

But only Reba is a traffic star route. Although she has the best ability to attract money, she also has the biggest shortcomings, weaknesses, and defects. She can only be given more care and support!

"Although the company's profits have never relied on the artist brokerage business, you have indeed made a lot of money for the company. I hope to... keep up the good work! Four bosses?"

Lin Nan's joke instantly livened up the atmosphere.

"Director Lin, this is what you really want, right? Haha..."

"I'll work hard!"

...

"Okay, let's talk about the studio. Your studios are all in this building, on the same floor, and the company will clean them up as soon as possible.

As for the contract period, it starts at 5 years and is up to 9 years... 10 years is impossible! Profit ratio..."

While Lin Nan was talking, Yue Jun had already put several contracts in front of the three people, letting them flip through them.

What made Lin Nan satisfied was that Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, and Reba didn't look at them much, just waiting to sign.

After more than half an hour, the signing was completed, and Zhang Yi asked a question.

"Director Lin, our studios are all affiliated with Shanhai Media... Will Shanhai Media really stop signing artists in the future?"

"Yes, but the studios of the four of you can sign artists, which can be regarded as an indirect relaxation of restrictions.

Of course, it is mainly you who can sign artists. But remember, if you want to sign someone, the first thing to do is to look at their character! Director Yue or Director Jiang will investigate."

Speaking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of something else:

"Maybe one day, the studios of the four of you may 'move' and move out of Shanhai Media."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because Shanhai Media may change its name to Shanhai Cinema... But this is just a possibility. Most likely, a new company will be established, called: Shanhai Cinema!"

After the Anle incident, Lin Nan really included the cinema in his plan for the first time.

But when will it be implemented? It probably won’t be in the next few years!
