That year Huayu

Chapter 102 ShowBox

"I guess he will speak out. How can a young man hold back his anger? But the content is quite sophisticated."

Wang Zhongjun looked at Sina headlines and said.

"Yahoo's idea is that all directors who receive the invitation this time will be given a boost of popularity." Mr. Xiao Wang explained.

"But we still have to learn lessons. We will also sign the people selected this time. Don't be like Mango Tianyu, where the artists promoted in the draft will terminate their contracts."

Wang Zhongjun said with a cold face.

"This will definitely not happen. However, Mango Tianyu is indeed unlucky. The people who have worked so hard to support are now being terminated. The most serious thing is not this, but someone who took the lead. Do other people have thoughts in their hearts? .”

Wang Zhonglei analyzed.

Lin Nan needs to be careful about the release of "Time Cruiser".

It was originally called "Terror Cruise" and had a very good reputation. Its rigorous logical conception and plot advancement earned it high praise.

Although it was introduced and did not generate much box office success in China, it still had some repercussions outside.

This time, Lin Nan revised the script, locked down the science fiction setting, and released it in multiple regions again, hoping to get a satisfactory box office result.

"People from South Korea are coming. You are the director and main producer of the film. They have named you and want to see you."

Lin Nan was once again called to China Film Academy by Han Sanping.

"Which one?"

"ShowBox contacted us first, but then news came from CJ."

Han Sanping tapped his fingers on the table with a calm expression.

This surprised Lin Nan. He originally thought that at most one family would come, but he didn't expect that both families came.

"Come on, come on. In fact, competition is a good thing for us."

Lin Nan knew the national conditions there. Large groups had the final say in almost all walks of life. If he only cooperated with one company, he would inevitably be targeted or blackmailed.

"Are you interested in choosing ShowBox?"

Han Sanping already had an idea after hearing what Lin Nan meant.

"Mr. Han, please stop pretending to be confused. They have competition, so we have the initiative. It's not like you don't know this." Lin Nan smiled.

"Haha, I know, I know, but after all, you are the one who talks about the movie."

Lin Nan was thinking about something else at the moment. The release of "Time Cruiser" could be cooperated with ShowBox, but he could also cooperate with CJ on other things, such as movies.

"If you don't take a stick movie, you won't get it for nothing." Lin Nan suddenly had this idea.

In fact, the film market in South Korea is really strange. It can film a lot of extreme themes, which is very enviable.

"Okay, when they come, I will go with you to meet them." Lin Nan said.

After leaving Han Sanping's office, Lin Nan went to the post-production area as usual.

Everyone is talking about "Geisha" at the moment. It has been released in North America for almost a month, and the box office results are very average.

It's strange that Zhang Ziyi is still regarded as one of the strong contenders for Best Actress. Could it be based on Rob Marshall's words: She will be the next target to be chased by the world?

"I'm optimistic that Zhang Ziyi will win the Best Actress Award."

"Gong Li's call for Best Supporting Actress is also very high."

"Director Lin, who do you think has a higher chance?"

Lin Nan walked in and was asked.

"If you want to win an Oscar for Best Actress, you must first pass Theron's test."

Lin Nan said with a smile that no one can ignore Charlize Theron.

"Theron? It seems so. She was the Best Actress in 2004, and she will be there this year too."

"So Director Lin is optimistic about her?" A group of people asked curiously.

"Which one do I think will be useful?" Lin Nan complained.

"Director Lin, when we were editing "Time Cruiser", we discovered that it could also be made into a horror film. With a few changes, it would be another movie, and it would be absolutely wonderful."

Someone told Lin Nan excitedly about this.

"Then the movie won't be released yet?" Lin Nan said angrily.

"That's right, haha."

SHOWBOX arrived at China Film Studio on the 4th. Lin Nan was still sleeping soundly when she was woken up by a phone call.

Han Sanping's secretary told Lin Nan that SB representatives had arrived, and there was also a senior executive.

"Okay, tell Mr. Han that I will be there on time."

Last night, Lin Nan watched TV, CCTV's "Wulin Gaiden", and felt like he was in a dream, which also contributed to its ratings.

Hearing what Secretary Han Sanping said, the Korean people first went to China Film and Television and met with Han Sanping, and then brought up the serious matter. Lin Nan was an important part of it.

In the field of film and television, South Korea has spared no effort in promoting it. Since last year's "Dae Jang Geum", many domestic practitioners have begun to worry about the impact of the Korean Wave.

If we say that domestic film exports are longing for them, they regard them as honors and political achievements.

South Korea is sick and hysterical. On the one hand, it is suppressed by the United States, but on the other hand, it is eager to enter there, be recognized, and even attempt to compete.

Lin Nan once heard a netizen say that there are only two people in the world whose aesthetics are unmistakable: coal bosses and South Korean chaebols.

Film companies are generally at the top of the film and television entertainment industry, but companies like Showbox and CJ are even more superior in South Korea's national entertainment environment.

After washing up, Lin Nan drove out of the school and attracted a lot of attention.

Lionsgate has already replied to Lin Nan's message that they can accept the film's distribution. They also joked that friendship will only make them work harder during the distribution, and they must pay no less.

A luxury convoy passed Lin Nan's Mercedes-Benz. The first car was a Ferrari trot and a BMW X5 camera car, followed by dozens of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars of the same color.

While waiting at the red light, Lin Nan heard several car owners nearby talking about the wedding of a family member of the famous star Zhang Ziyi.

"I thought Zhang Ziyi was getting married." Lin Nan muttered.

Lin Nan guessed who it was. It was said that one person can ascend to heaven, which is very applicable to Zhang Ziyi. Her brother is currently her manager. Lin Nan saw it once and was very angry.

China Film Group has a department dedicated to entertaining guests. When the showbox people came over, they went straight to the topic, so Han Sanping asked someone to contact Lin Nan. Otherwise, there would have been a lot of business complications, which would have dragged on for at least a day or two.

When we arrived at China Film Academy, someone was already waiting for Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, Mr. Han and the others are in the banquet hall. Come with me."

"OK, thanks."

The auditorium-style banquet hall exuded solemnity. In the huge place, there were only Han Sanping and his secretary, as well as three people from Han Fang, two men and one woman, all about forty years old.

"Lin Nan, come here. Let me introduce to you. This is Director Lin Nan. They are from Korean Film Company."

Han Sanping saw Lin Nan coming in, stood up and introduced him.

"Director Lin Nan, I have long admired you." A man who looked like a boss in South Korea greeted him.

Can you still speak Mandarin?

Lin Nan's first reaction was this.

"Hello." The proper etiquette must be followed.

Lin Nan never thought that the other party would go all the way to China for the release of a movie.

that's the truth.

The person in charge of SB found a lot of topics, but the distribution matter only accounted for half, and the rest was Lin Nan's cooperation with Lions Gate and New Line.

They hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Lin Nan in the future, to be precise, Lin Nan's future Hollywood movies.

Lin Nan saw Han Sanping's face turned green and gloomy.

Backed by the parent group, SB has been actively expanding its theater business in South Korea, which has been very helpful in movie scheduling. This is also the reason why they dare to challenge CJ. After all, they have only been established for a few years, and CJ is more powerful than CJ. The film and television business started very late.

From the moment they explained their other intention, Han Sanping lost his composure.

Han Sanping's unhappiness did not affect the outcome of the cooperation. Lin Nan handed over the distribution of "Time Cruiser" in Korea to SB.

"Director Lin, please rest assured that we will make the distribution of your film perfect when the time comes and lay a solid foundation for our future cooperation.

In addition, we also look forward to your coming to Korea as a guest, and we will provide warm hospitality to make you feel at home..."

Lin Nan was very curious. What kind of hospitality did they mean? How many actresses could be found to entertain him?

Things were done quickly. After the reporter took the group photo, the SB people successfully completed their mission to China.

The deal was settled at noon, and in the afternoon we visited the Beijing Film Studio with the people from China Film Group. In the evening, the people from SB took a flight back, and it was convenient because the distance was short.

"His uncle, these grandsons are poaching in front of me..."

Lin Nan sat in Han Sanping's office and watched him scolding him for a long time.

"Hahaha, Mr. Han, if you don't take a break, it's almost twenty minutes..."

Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh. It felt very good to have the capital to be asked for cooperation. Anyway, he felt very comfortable listening to what the person in charge of the showbox said.

Han Sanping sat there and glanced at Lin Nan.

"People in South Korea also want to eat shit. They come here to look for food. They are wishful thinking..."

After taking a breath, Han Sanping's voice was not so loud this time.

"You wouldn't really consider cooperating with them, would you?"

Han Sanping looked at the smiling Lin Nan and asked.

"I have just cooperated with Lions Gate and the others not long ago. I am still crossing the river by feeling the stones with trepidation. How can I have the mind to deal with those sticks." Lin Nan said bluntly.

After hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping felt much more comfortable.

"Yinghuang hasn't found you yet?"

"No, if it's a matter of distribution, Mr. Han, you can leave it to them. It's not the case of CJ and SB, nor is it the case of Lionsgate. China Film Group can make the decision in China."

Lin Nan made his attitude clear.

The mobile phone on Han Sanping's table rang at an inappropriate time.

Anyone who can make a private phone call must have some status.

"...You made the call at the right time. He has been with the group today. The South Korean Film Company just left two hours ago. Okay, let's go to the same place. I'll go with him..."

After the phone call, Han Sanping glanced at Lin Nan, who had a premonition that this was another kind of entertainment.

After hanging up the phone, Han Sanping said to Lin Nan: "Ying Huang's Yang Shoucheng has come to Beijing. We are inviting you to the dinner party tonight. Firstly, it's Jiang Wen, who is visiting the team, and secondly, it's about the release of "Time Cruiser". I invited you by name, let's go together." go."

"You really don't need to say anything, it comes as soon as you say it." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"By the way, Jiang Wen is also there. You will get to know each other then."

Lin Nan was a little moved when he heard Jiang Wen's name. There were not many directors of Chinese dramas, and this one was a representative one, especially with his temper.

Thinking of Lu Chuan again, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh. The rumors in the world were very interesting.
