That year Huayu

Chapter 972 "Asura"; La Dong...it's "Pacific Rim 2"! Xiying, it’s worth it.

The last time "Operation Mekong" divided investment shares, the person who represented Wanda to Lin Nan Pictures was Ye Ning;

Unexpectedly, eight months have passed and things have changed.

Guangguang 12th floor, in Wang Changtian's office.

Lin Nan looked at the "newcomer" sent by Wanda with a smile and said hello:

"So, now Mr. Liu is the president of Wanda Cinemas, taking care of the film company as well?"

Liu Xiaobin smiled and nodded, his posture slightly lowered:

"Well, after Mr. Ye left, I was transferred from the position of financial director of the commercial real estate group to the executive president of the theater chain, and was also in charge of Wanda Pictures.

Speaking of which, I joined the group two years earlier than Mr. Ye. I am a Millennium student and he was born in 2002, but Mr. Ye is indeed more capable than me. Over the years, he has held several important positions:

Group director, vice president of Wanda Culture Group, president of Wanda Cinemas, general manager of Wanda Pictures, chairman of the distribution company, director of AMC Cinemas...

No, after this incident, the group was greatly shaken; several senior executives were transferred before they could take over the job that Mr. Ye had done alone..."

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian glanced at each other vaguely, feeling in their hearts:

Good guy, Big Lao Wang was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years? It actually decentralized power directly and no second Ye Ning was allowed to appear!

"This is our first meeting. I would like to congratulate Mr. Liu on your promotion." Wang Changtian joked and changed the topic.

"Haha, it's hard to say this kind of thing so straightforwardly. However, I would like to ask Director Lin and Director Wang to take care of me in the future. We have been allies and partners for many years.

In addition, Director Wang asked me to say hello to you two on his behalf. The relationship between Wanda, Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight will not change in any way because of Ye Ning’s departure, but will only become closer..."

Liu Xiaobin picked up the teacup and said with a smile. Lin Nan and Wang Changtian nodded and raised their glasses.

"Director Lin, Director Wang, let's talk about business next, shall we? When I received the notice from Director Wang, I was looking forward to it. This is my first big project after taking over!

I'll be the host at noon, don't be polite, I've already made arrangements before I came here, we'll set off soon..."

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian did not refuse, and they sighed that they were worthy of being one of the senior executives sent by Big Lao Wang to take over Ye Ning's previous core position, with emotional intelligence, sophistication, and attitude, all in one!

"Then let me tell you."

Lin Nan spoke, and Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin immediately became serious.

"The budget of "Pacific Rim 2" is US$165 million. Xiying's share was originally 5%, but it was changed to 10% this morning.

Of course, I also intend to help them. Their current situation is indeed too bad, so the share that Wanda and Guangguang can allocate is only 25%, half or half. "

Hearing what Lin Nan said, although Wang Changtian felt a little regretful, he was still very happy. After all, the light changed from 0 to 12.5%:

"Very good, the Rays will prepare the funds as soon as possible in the next two days and wait for notification."

Compared with Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin is completely excited;

Because in "Pacific Rim 1", Wanda's share was 10%, and now it has an increase of 2.5%, which is undoubtedly his contribution.

"Okay, Wanda has no problem at all. We will do our best when arranging the film for global distribution!"

Not long after, the three of them came out of the light talking and laughing, followed by several entourage.

Until the dinner, everyone still had a tacit understanding and did not mention the other domestic producer of "Pacific Rim 1" - China Film!

…

Afternoon, Jiaxing Media.

The call was made directly to Yang Mi, not Zeng Jia, Yang Mi's manager.

"From these days until May Day, you cannot miss any promotional event. Isn't this a bit too harsh?"

Zeng Jia was not very happy, and her tone was full of complaints and unwillingness.

Yang Mi said nothing, frowning as she looked at the "promotional itinerary" sent by Xue Xiaolu;

After a long time, she forcibly cheered up, swept away her fatigue, and said to Zeng Jia:

"Jiajia, just follow this schedule to communicate with the two crews. If you have a promotional schedule, you won't join the crew.

Announcements that conflict with the promotional schedule should also be staggered as much as possible, and can be arranged at other times on the day of the promotional event; it is just a little tiring from rushing to the event, nothing more. "

Hearing what Yang Mi said without delaying anything, Zeng Jia had no objection and felt relieved:

"Okay, I'll go communicate with the crew and organizers later. It should be no problem."

After the stone in her heart fell to the ground, Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi, who was obviously tired, and then reminded:

"There will be a brand party reception in the evening, why don't you sleep for two hours first?"

"Well, I'm going to take a nap. I thought that if there was a hit movie, I might be able to finish the bet in advance, but now it seems that I'd better be prepared to continue being so busy;

But it doesn’t matter, a 300 million yuan bet is still no problem. If a popular front-line person like me works so hard, if our company can’t make 100 million a year, then we will really feel sorry for this celebrity..."

Yang Mi said feebly, regardless of whether she had enough sleep time, the continuous work was indeed a waste of energy.

…

The Nortel Grade 16 art exam has been successfully concluded, but the school is still bustling with people.

After all, the final list has not yet been announced, so all the final exam candidates cannot help but come to the school, and the same goes for the Central Theater and the Upper Theater;

In addition, there are also a lot of art candidates who failed in the early rounds of the art exam and are now rushing to major in related majors in higher vocational colleges;

This retreat is also a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses... It is best to be able to move around.

Lin Nan received a call from Lao Jiang again. According to the school's procedures, the other associate professors have begun to submit papers and works in preparation for the subsequent defense session.

Although he has special treatment, he still has to take this matter to heart and prepare a copy of "Operation Mekong" in advance...

China Film.

"Now that the script of "The Founding of an Army" has been sent to the bureau for review, the project will be officially approved and made public in a few days.

Before the Army Day, the casting of the all-star cast, the location scouting and selection of movie locations, and the adjustment of actors' schedules... these all take a lot of time.

Inform Director Liu Weiqiang and the others that they have been very busy in the past four or five months..."

"Okay, La Dong."

The secretary nodded immediately in response, but there was a trace of hesitation on his face, whether it was unintentional or intentional.

"What's wrong? Just tell me if you have anything to say."

La Peikang knew his secretary, and after taking a glance, he asked.

Hearing this, the secretary immediately talked about what happened in the morning without any further hesitation:

"La Dong, I saw people from the Western Film Production Department at the Film Bureau this morning.

Guess what, Xiying actually submitted the application materials for a co-production film and gave it to the green pass, requiring approval within two months..."

Sure enough, before the secretary finished speaking, La Peikang's eyes widened and the pen in his hand stopped.

He raised his head and asked with an unbelievable look on his face:

"Do they have the money to make a co-production? Do they have the courage? What kind of movie? Where did it co-produce it?"

“I asked about it, but Director Wang of the Co-production Management Office kept it secret from me and didn’t reveal anything.

However, I saw Director Zhang’s expression from a distance. He seemed to be very excited and happy. He seemed to be ecstatic and excited? "

La Peikang's eyes flashed. As the leader of the domestic film and television industry, his sense of smell is quite sensitive;

I was rejected by Ning Ying some time ago, but I didn’t expect Xiying to have good things here? !

Immediately, La Peikang picked up the landline on his desk, found a phone and made a call. He was connected after a few seconds, and hung up after a while of greetings.

He looked at his secretary: "You can go to the film bureau again and this time you can enter the co-production management office... After seeing Xiying's project, call me as soon as possible.

I'm also very curious. With such a wealthy family, what other co-productions can you make? We can also help when necessary, haha..."

As soon as the secretary left, Han Sanping called.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Han. You don't have to deliver it in person... It's okay to have nothing to do. I'll go over and sit..."

…

In the study room that belongs to Han Jianu alone, there are many papers scattered on the table, which are all drafts of biographies.

The sound of typing on the keyboard was endless. She wrote, deleted, and deleted. She tried to make the words the simplest, most sincere, and most profound.

But after all, it was her first time to write a movie script, so it was really challenging and difficult for her.

"Oh, my hair has been falling out recently. I need to take it easy for a few days to change my mood."

After scratching her head, Han Jianu muttered speechlessly.

She had a video chat with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang around two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was difficult to make an appointment for dinner;

One of the two is on the set and will not take a holiday in the short term, while the other is going to visit the crew and will have to play for another day before returning.

I called Lin Nan to ask for advice on writing a script, but I was laughed at!

Writing a script is like several schools of acting. The experiential school is the most authentic and natural, as well as the most direct;

The actor puts all his emotions into it, he is the character, and what he plays is himself; the same can be done when writing a script, and what he writes is also "himself";

He also suggested that she, a "rookie", could just refer to the "experience school" and the script she wrote would definitely be the most thoughtful!

Just when Han Jianu was complaining about Lin Nan, there was a knock on the door: "Jianu, your uncle is here. Come out and say hello, be polite."

Upon hearing Lao Han's voice, classmate Xiao Han responded immediately. Although she is careless, she still has the courtesy that she should have, no less.

Not long after, when Han Jianu came downstairs, she saw La Peikang and Han Sanping drinking tea in the living room and chatting about "The Founding of the Army".

There was also a document bag in front of them. She knew without guessing that it was a movie planning document made by Lao Han.

"Jia Nu, I heard that you stay in the study all day writing scripts? What kind of script are you writing? Tell me about it. Uncle La will invest in you when the time comes." La Peikang looked at Han Jia Nu with a smile.

"If you ask again, she won't tell. She didn't even tell me, and she wouldn't let me in through her study door." Han Sanping said mockingly while holding tea.

"When I finish it, everyone will know. As for finding investments, I have my own plans, so I don't need Uncle La to worry about it."

Han Jianu smiled and sat next to Han Sanping, adding tea to the two of them.

"Well, it's a good thing to have your own ideas!"

La Peikang nodded and praised. Then he looked at Han Sanping and said to Han Jianu:

"I just talked to your dad, do you want to be the assistant director of the crew of "The Founding of an Army"? This is the main theme, and it will only benefit your resume..."

"I was the assistant director of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" before, so I don't need any other main theme; the bonus of "The Founding of an Army" to my resume should be... almost nothing, right?"

Well, Han Jianu, who was careless, said something without thinking, which immediately choked La Peikang; he was a little embarrassed, because "The Founding of an Army" might, with a high probability, really not be able to compare with "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"!

"You girl, how can you talk like that? You are being kind?"

Han Sanping said unhappily, but that was all.

"Don't talk about her, since you don't have any ideas, then forget it."

La Peikang was not angry, mainly because he understood Han Jianu's character. At their status and position, it was rare to have a junior who "speaks the truth", and it was good to be noisy!

Han Jianu was about to speak with a smile, but at this moment, La Peikang's cell phone rang. The noise instantly attracted the attention of Han Sanping and Xiao Han.

...

Shanghai Film.

Ren Zhonglun tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and he squinted his eyes and looked directly at the marketing manager in front of him, "Say it again, are you sure?"

"Director Ren, I am sure that Ningying's big production is called "Asura", with an investment budget of more than 100 million US dollars, and almost all of it is funded by Ningying. It is currently doing preparatory work before the project is established, including special effects modeling...

I heard that it is likely to be officially announced and cast in the middle of the year, and start filming in the second half of the year... Xiying and Zhongying had both tried to make it before, but they were all rejected, especially Xiying, which didn't even know what movie it was, and was sent away."

At this moment, Ren Zhonglun's face was already full of playful expression.

"More than 100 million US dollars! Is this a last-ditch effort? We have to think carefully before we can do this, but they are quite wild and resolute! Have they ever thought about what to do if they fail? Can they afford the consequences? Well, do they have so much money?"

"It seems that they should have assets to mortgage, right? They all started from old film studios, especially Ningying, they own a lot of land and properties."

"Oh, that's all they have! They would rather mortgage than accept our kindness, right?"

Ren Zhonglun said speechlessly, looking down on him.

There is an old saying that goes, the more people who can burn their boats, the more they prove that they have "nothing" or are in a difficult situation!

"Mr. Ren, there is one more thing." The marketing manager interrupted Ren Zhonglun's train of thought.

"Didn't you go to contact Ningying specifically? What else did you get?"

Looking at the expressions of his subordinates, Ren Zhonglun said suspiciously.

"Director Ren, I have a few friends at Xiying. This afternoon I heard that they submitted a co-production report..."

Hearing the word "co-production", Ren Zhonglun sat up straight, and asked: "What movie? Who is it co-produced with?"

"Director Ren, it seems to be..."

"What did you say?"

La Peikang almost yelled excitedly, and veins could be seen faintly on his neck, and his eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

Han Sanping and Han Jianu, who were watching, remained silent, because they heard the voice on the phone clearly.

Not only did they hear it clearly, but they had heard Lin Nan talk about it at home at the end of August last year.

At that time, Han Sanping invited Lin Nan to his home to show his cards, and made it clear that he would participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, and also invited Lin Nan to direct "The Founding of an Army".

But Lin Nan's attitude towards the two things was: the former didn't matter, anyway, he wouldn't go; the latter was rejected because there was no "nutrient"!

When Lin Nan left, he specifically said: Crystal Pictures will restart the "Pacific Rim" series next year and make a sequel.

At that time, Han Sanping didn't understand what he meant and didn't know why Lin Nan said this, so he was laughed at by Han Jianu;

Finally, the "leaky cotton jacket" "translated" it:

"You mentioned the Golden Rooster event, and my senior brother Lin said he wouldn't go; but he mentioned the sequel to "Pacific Rim" right after, isn't the meaning very clear? Just five words: China Film Group, don't come!"

On the other end of the phone, the secretary said tremblingly:

"Mr. La, Mr. La, the co-production film submitted by Xiying is... "Pacific Rim 2"! The specific filing information, the producers... are not allowed to see."

The living room was so quiet that Han Jianu could even hear La Peikang's heavy breathing.

She lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence, and muttered in her heart: "Will he get angry? Don't..."

"He, he didn't say hello to us at all, didn't say a word, and he just decided on the project? A co-production project!?"

La Peikang gritted his teeth and "bite" out every word.

At this moment, he was furious, holding his breath, and was at the critical point of exploding!

China Film still had 20% in the first part, but in the second part, it was kicked out directly? Kicked out!

"Boss La, do you want to ask Director Lin... Just filed, there should be... a chance."

The secretary could obviously feel La Peikang's anger at the moment, so he was still cautious when speaking, not daring to say too much.

La Peikang didn't respond, he hung up the phone directly.

Looking at him again at this time, he was already frosty, and his aura was even more terrifying, completely a posture of strangers not approaching.

"Director Han, you heard it too, I have to go back...to deal with this matter tomorrow."

La Peikang suppressed his emotions and said goodbye to Han Sanping expressionlessly, but the expressions of the latter and Han Jianu gave him some "clues."

"Pacific Rim is currently the most successful Chinese-foreign co-production. Director Han was praised by the bureau at the time, but now China Film Group has been kicked out of the sequel! Director Han, why don't you look surprised at all? Still Is there a beautiful girl?”

"I……"

After all, she was young, so Han Jia Nyeo couldn't hold back and was about to speak, but she immediately reacted and looked at her own father, who was her supporter and harbor.

La Peikang stared at Han Sanping and saw the "Mountain Eagle" holding up the teacup calmly:

"I knew it last year, but what can I do? Lin Nan's temperament is easy to talk to, but once he makes up his mind, ten cows can't get him back. Yi Fei doesn't get involved in this, and more importantly …”

Han Sanping looked at La Peikang and said in a serious tone: "What's more important is that China Film is not the only state-owned enterprise in the country! Xiying is worth it."

The living room fell silent again, and La Peikang seemed not to have heard Han Sanping's words.

"Director Han, I'm leaving first. China Film Group will not give up on this matter."

After a long time, La Peikang said coldly. He picked up the document bag on the table, turned around and walked towards the door of the villa.

Han Jianu followed up with a look and wanted to give him a gift, but La Peikang remained indifferent until the sound of the car starting about twenty seconds later made her return to the living room.

"Dad, uncle La, where is this?"

"Hey, don't worry about him. It was pretty good when he first took office. It's only been two and a half years. However, he was greedy for merit, conservative, and irresponsible... all of Bo Liang's shortcomings suddenly appeared.

No one owes him anything, everything is mutual. Any major capital or film and television giant in the industry will not have any impact without China Film, let alone Lin Nan! "

Han Sanping drank tea and "criticized" La Peikang mercilessly.

Back then, Huayi was able to backstab Han Sanping, who supported them, and was not afraid of China Film at all, let alone Lin Nan Pictures now!

"Then, I'll call Senior Brother Lin and let's talk." Han Jianu muttered and went upstairs.

Looking at his daughter, Han Sanping smiled. He had a clear attitude, which was good.

…

There are several bags of cat food and dog food placed at the door of the villa, and Director Lin is feeding them.

Even in Hengdian, Liu Yifei couldn't worry about these little things and made a video call to remind Lin Nan.

"I am a great director. Ever since I fell into your hands, I have had an extra job as a breeder."

"Oh, just have some fun, hehe..."

…
