Chapter 864 Cast a Wide Net!
"In the morning, Director Li An, Matt Damon, and Jessica Chastain landed at the Capital Airport together with their respective entourages."
"Matt Damon said in an interview with the media that all three of them came for the wedding of Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei."
"Jessica Chastain joked that she and Matt Damon had agreed in advance to set off together; the two met Director Li An purely by chance and happened to be traveling together, but they had the same purpose."
"The Venice International Film Festival officially opens. Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang, Guan Rui, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Xu Qing and others represent the Chinese film team and are the first to step on the red carpet!"
"Director Hou Xiaoxian walked on the red carpet of the opening ceremony with the jury, and responded to the movie channel's question: "The Assassin" was released for 6 days, but unfortunately the box office stopped at 60 million;
He said: The mainland film market has tended to be impetuous, one-sided, and fast-food-style development. Art films are dead and the soil is no longer there..."
…
In the hotel, Liu Yifei and Jessica Chastain were laughing and chatting, and by the way, they introduced Shu Chang to each other;
The three women chatted non-stop for a while and agreed to go shopping together tomorrow.
Lin Nan sat with Matt Damon and Tom, complaining about Leonardo.
The latter had to come a few days late because there were several big shows in Hollywood, and Leonardo’s new girlfriend was still a model, and he wanted to go to the show and support her!
“Leon will definitely come alone in two days and won’t bring anyone else with him.
Originally he wanted to go with us, but he couldn't bear to part with the big shows these days; that was his favorite occasion besides the awards stage, even more than his love for supermodels. After all, supermodels can be replaced, haha..."
Matt Damon unceremoniously "disdains" DiCaprio, who is not around at the moment anyway.
Tom was laughing along side him, very obscenely.
"Well, that's his style."
Lin Nan also nodded, guessing that Leonardo, who had won the statuette, would be more wanton in his vacation now, right?
"By the way, his film "The Revenant" has already been submitted for this year's Oscars. This guy's self-confidence is now booming, and his mentality is also very good."
Matt added with both regret and envy, and a bit of sourness in his tone. After all, the Oscar-winning actor's statuette is the dream that all Hollywood actors long for!
"The Revenant? Then I'm also a public relations target!" Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Of course, Lin."
While the six people were chatting, the waiters in the hotel had already started serving food. Now that they are in China, Lin Nan will of course prepare Chinese food for them!
At this time, paparazzi were already everywhere outside the hotel, and many media reporters were even ready to stay here for more than a week.
After Li An checked into the hotel, he only bumped into Lin Nan and hurried to China Film.
He was attending the wedding and working at the same time. After all, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" had just finished filming.
When Lin Nan and the six of them were sitting around a large round table, eating and chatting, the same scene was happening over at China Film.
La Peikang looked at Li An and asked with a smile: "Director Li, is there any chance that this movie will win awards?"
Hearing this question, Li An smiled helplessly. China Film really valued awards, especially those from outside.
He hesitated, and then told La Peikang truthfully: "Because of the subject matter, it's hard to say, but we can try it next year."
Sure enough, a smile immediately appeared on La Peikang's face.
Because whether in the eyes of the industry or in his eyes, Li An's ability to win awards is the best. Whether it is a Chinese-language film or a foreign-language film, Li An can almost be regarded as the first among Chinese-language directors!
…………
Lin Nan discovered an advantage of Tom.
That is, the latter can entertain all the guests from Hollywood on his behalf, which is more convenient than the people from Lin Nan Pictures, and also saves Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's energy, which is very good.
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned home in the afternoon, they saw an invitation letter sent from LeTV Pictures.
It seems that LeTV Pictures is going to completely open up financing channels to the entire film and television industry.
With curiosity and a look at the excitement, Lin Nan inquired a little;
Sure enough, a large number of first-line actors and celebrities in the industry are trying to connect there, and the scale is terrifying.
"Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Feng Shaofeng, Chen He, Qin Lan... dozens of first-line artists, in addition to a large number of artist studios and companies jointly established by actors and stars... these people and groups It seems that everyone has confirmed their investment intentions and are already discussing specific investment matters..."
Yue Jun's voice came from the phone.
Not only Lin Nan and Liu Yifei received invitations, but also the studios of Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Zhao Liying and Reba. LeTV really cast a wide net!
"Tell the four of them not to get involved and just run their own studios honestly."
"Well, I will notify you in place. But the momentum over there is really big! Director Zhang Yimou held 12 million shares in the past, and later Guo Jingming purchased 5 million shares. Now if this large number of people invest and become As a shareholder of LeTV Pictures, LeTV Pictures is really a big player in the industry!”
"Whether LeTV Pictures is big or not has nothing to do with us. There is no such thing as a free lunch. LeTV's stock price is too good, and LeTV Pictures is going to raise funds... Once it is successfully listed, it will be a company with a market value of tens of billions... Why can such a good thing happen..."
Halfway through, Lin Nan swallowed his words back, "Anyway, just tell the four of them not to touch it."
"Well, I will remind them in place."
Yue Jun felt that what Lin Nan said made sense, and the effort and the benefit are proportional!
LeTV Pictures, a giant ship that is about to go to sea, is just giving away tickets so casually? If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit too unreasonable!
You have to know that other companies are cautious and trembling when raising funds, and they value shares more than anything else!
...
In just half a day, the news about LeTV Pictures in the film and television industry has gone crazy.
Most of the people in the circle who received the invitation were all excited, and the artists who did not receive the invitation were all a little disappointed, as if they had missed a great opportunity.
There were even some rumors in the circle, saying that this investment in LeTV Pictures would definitely make a lot of money. Even if it could not be successfully listed later, there would be some capital operations to ensure the interests of shareholders... What made the industry crazy the most was that this "rumor" was released from LeTV!
When Lin Nan received a call from Wang Changtian and heard him talk about this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared!
