That year Huayu

Chapter 1041: Original intention; a response with thorns in every word, tearing the face apart; August Jianjun...

"I only knew that there were many celebrities in Hong Kong Island who were uneducated and unskilled, and a large number of them became famous from childhood; so their outspokenness and crooked butts were commonplace and not surprising.

But this is the first time I have seen someone so stupid; I can only say that this fat-headed woman has completely cut off the future of China Star in the mainland, tut tut..."

Lin Nan agreed with Wang Changtian's words, that is, the family will definitely not be able to survive in the mainland in the future, at least the movies produced by their company will not appear in the mainland.

Because although Hong Kong films can enjoy the same distribution ratio as mainland films in the mainland, the former is essentially still classified as imported films;

And this woman directly posted a Weibo to provoke China Film, implying that the latter broke the rules and excluded compatriots, and it was a bite back and blame-shifting behavior, which can be said to have offended China Film to death.

If their family can get a quota for imported films in the future, it would be a miracle;

Even if they want to come in as a batch film, there are only two companies that have a quota for batch films, one is China Film and the other is Huaxia Film; China Film will definitely not give out a quota, and it will slap itself in the face, and Huaxia Film...

You know, China Film and Shanghai Film are the second largest shareholders of Huaxia Film, and the two companies together have two more shares than the largest shareholder!

"She is quite clever. Look at the end of her Weibo. She even wants to coerce the entire Hong Kong circle... This is taboo."

"To be honest, I am looking forward to the reactions of Director Ren and Director La. I can't wait." Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, and didn't pick up Wang Changtian's "taboo" topic.

"Those two? Who knows, they may be thinking about how to deal with that family with great interest at this moment? Haha..."

Facts have proved that Wang Changtian's joke is not just a joke.

Because while Lin Nan was talking to him about the release of "The Murderer" and "Mr. Donkey", the two chairmen of China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group were also busy dealing with the public pressure brought by the Weibo post.

Of course, the two chairmen were not panicked at all, and were even a little excited;

After all, over the years, there are fewer and fewer idiots who choose to confront the two state-owned enterprise giants, and it is rare to see them. Well, it is a rare thing!

In the chairman's office of China Film Group, La Peikang is drinking tea with a smile on his face.

The last time China Film Group was criticized, especially the chairman was named, it was the "Zuoshan Diao" era, and it was also the first time that the famous adjective "Zuoshan Diao" was applied to Han Sanping.

Since then, in the eyes of the domestic film and television industry: "Zuoshan Diao" is equivalent to Han Sanping, and Han Sanping is "Zuoshan Diao", and the two are completely tied together!

This is also a "record" that Zhang Weiping is proud of, but where is Zhang Dapao now? At present, he is a deadbeat, so low-key that there is no news or trace of him, and he has been "banned" by the entire industry.

"Boss La, do you want to respond? But there is no name on the other side. If you respond, it will feel like there is something fishy going on here."

The secretary looked at La Peikang, who was smiling, and reminded him carefully.

"Response? Of course you have to respond! What is this place to hide three hundred taels of silver? That is to describe a fool who hides and hides. As for us, let the group's theater department pick one or two companies out and issue an announcement openly and righteously!"

At this point, La Peikang seemed to have thought of something, and his smile became even brighter: "Go contact the chairman's office of Shanghai Film Group and communicate the wording between the two sides;

The manuscript should be as profound and sharp as possible, and it should be as painful as possible! Remember, there is no need for gorgeous words, but the truth that is sharp in every word!"

The secretary was stunned. Is Boss La going to stab and then sprinkle salt? After reacting instantly, he nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

…

Just after arriving at the company in the afternoon, Weibo called Lin Nan:

The public notice of the change of major shareholders' shares will be officially announced on Nasdaq and in China in the next few days.

Lin Nan didn't care much about this matter. After all, the money had been spent and the shares had been obtained. Now it was just announced to the outside world.

Sitting on the chair, Lin Nan just hung up the phone and saw Yue Jun coming in with the finance department; but before he could ask what was going on, the phone that had just been off the screen instantly lit up again.

Director Lin could only extend his hand to signal Yue Jun to sit first, and he answered the phone.

"Producer Hou?"

"Director Lin, did I disturb you?"

"No, I'm in the company. Yifei and Shu Chang have plans to go shopping."

"I'm glad I didn't disturb you. It's like this. We are sure that the script of Nirvana in Fire 2 can be completed by the end of August or the beginning of September at the latest, and the budget will be completed at the same time;

At that time, I will personally bring people to the company to discuss the investment share with Director Lin or Director Yue... Director Lin, what do you think of this time?

Hearing this, Lin Nan nodded subconsciously and joked: "Early September is fine, as long as it's not the 9th, haha..."

"Of course, it won't delay Producer Liu from celebrating Director Lin's birthday.

One more thing, I have promised Huang Xiaoming before that he will be the leading actor, and he is indeed suitable... I think there should be no problem with Director Lin, right? As for other roles, if Director Lin has a favorite, you can tell me directly. "

"I almost never interfere with roles that have been decided by our partners, so Producer Hou can rest assured. As for other roles, we will discuss them at that time."

"Yes, everyone knows Director Lin's style. However, Huang Xiaoming is good, but his wife called us a few days ago and said that a third-tier actor was going to be banned... I was also convinced, and they all said to marry a wife Marry a virtuous man..."

The smile on Lin Nan's face gradually faded, and she listened to Hou Hongliang complaining for a while, and then the two of them hung up the phone while laughing.

"What's going on?" Lin Nan put down his phone and looked at Yue Jun and Finance.

"The funds from Shiyue Culture have been used up again. This time, the total amount requested for the two movies is 80 million, which is expected to last until the end of next year." Yue Jun waved his hand, and the finance department immediately handed over the order.

Lin Nan scanned it roughly, and after finding no problems, he signed decisively and handed it to the treasurer: "You go out and make the payment first."

The finance manager was obviously very smart. He left the office immediately and closed the door behind him.

"Did Yang Ying call us too?" Lin Nan asked with a smile, looking at Yue Jun sitting opposite.

Hearing this question, Yue Jun smiled and nodded:

"Well, the attack came to me. I thought about it at the time and simply gave the leader Huang this face; I have already ordered the people below to ignore the third-tier artist and not to add insult to injury or take the initiative to embarrass others. I will not express my position to the outside world. …”

Listening to Yue Jun's ramble, Lin Nan felt really emotional for a moment. After being silent for a few seconds, she couldn't help but interrupt him:

"'Block'? A man as smart as Huang Xiaoming would really say 'ban' an actor? Did he personally call you and ask him to 'ban' that actor in exchange for his face?"

Yue Jun was stunned and shook his head: "No, only Yang Ying called."

Sure enough! Lin Nan murmured in his heart, wanting to laugh a little.

"This is where he is shrewd. Do you really think that everyone in the circle will take Yang Ying's words as his own? He is just trying to deal with Yang Ying. Everyone will give Yang Ying face in words, but in fact Whatever happens.

She was a young model and was originally a vase. Did she really think that she would become a phoenix when she flew on a branch? Do you really think that you can so unscrupulously squander the connections Huang Xiaoming has worked so hard to save over the years?

You know, the favors consumed by flattering her are actually not much for Huang Xiaoming, but helping her block someone is completely different!

To ban an actor, he either has to give up enough benefits in exchange, or he has to completely consume this human connection... After all, banning an actor is never a trivial matter, it is to offend the person behind the actor. The brokerage company, as well as the risk of endless troubles after being defeated, all of which need to be borne by Huang Xiaoming!

Therefore, if he really wants to ban him, he will definitely speak out himself instead of letting Yang Ying jump up and down here and play the clown in front of everyone..."

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Yue Jun's expression suddenly changed. His brows furrowed and he realized later: "So, when it comes to human relations, I still think simply? Didn't I think that deeply?"

This is a sad topic, Lin Nan fell silent again, because Yue Jun is indeed not good at this;

After a long time, Lin Nan broke the eerily quiet atmosphere in the office:

"This thing about worldliness? Haha...

In fact, regarding this matter, whether you gave Yang Ying face or not at the time, it cannot be said to be wrong. It is indeed right and makes sense;

Because reality is not black and white, we cannot be Holy Mothers. Huang Xiaoming has a very deep and good relationship with us. He gives me gifts every year and festival, red wine and seafood year after year... He always supports every charity auction and spends millions to buy my manuscripts... Well, he also supports everything our company has. I have acted in so many movies of the company... To refute the reputation of a young actor with whom I have no friendship at all would indeed make me look a bit sanctimonious, like a 'saint' or a hypocrite...

But, Brother Yue, have you forgotten how you were kicked out of the crew?

You should act according to your heart. You don’t need to consider where you are now, and you don’t have to forcefully change your thoughts, opinions, words and deeds for the benefit of the company or my face... just like you did before, act according to your heart. , even if something goes wrong, I will be the one in front.

Again, you underestimate Huang Xiaoming's business intelligence. Even if he is obsessed with Yang Ying, he will never do such stupid things. "

Lin Nan spoke to Yue Jun seriously. He pursed his lips, forced a smile and shook his head. His energy seemed to be a little sluggish;

He looked at Lin Nan and opened his mouth several times, but no words came out. Until finally, as if he had exhausted all his strength, a deep voice sounded:

"Do you follow your heart? I was indeed very stubborn at the time, but, Director Lin, so many years have passed, and your and my identities and status in the industry have undergone earth-shaking changes... When it comes to keeping your heart, Lin Director, this is really difficult, even though I managed to keep 99% of it..."

"Ninety-nine percent?" Lin Nan asked doubtfully. He didn't understand what Yue Jun wanted to express.

Yue Jun raised his head, a complex expression on his face, and murmured in retrospect: "I have banned the young director, the assistant director, and the woman."

For a moment, Lin Nan was shocked by Yue Jun's words. He had no idea that Yue Jun had done this! But... he had nothing to say about this, and he didn't know what to say. Yue Jun's revenge was never too late, and it was human nature, and it was reasonable!

"Well, I know."

Lin Nan responded woodenly, and after a moment he added: "Follow your heart, don't take that phone call seriously... No one took it seriously."

"Okay."

...

Time finally came to the last day of July.

Early in the morning, more than half of the entertainment headlines and hot searches on the Internet were about Bali;

Because Huo Jianhua and Princess Ziwei were getting married there today, and a large number of domestic film and television stars went there, such as Hu Ge, Fan Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun, the crew of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"... Wu Qilong, Liu Shishi...

However, for the film industry, the most eye-catching news is undoubtedly the news related to "Legend of the Gods"; after all, yesterday morning, the fat lady just publicly and implicitly criticized China Film and Shanghai Film!

"The box office of the large-scale ancient costume mythological epic "Legend of the Gods", jointly produced by China Star and Bona Film Group, fell to 44.54 million on the second day of its release, and it is likely to continue to decline and plummet..."

"It is reported that except for the Polybona Cinema Line, which continues to maintain a screening rate of more than 30%, most domestic cinemas have reduced the screening rate of "Legend of the Gods" to about 15%, and some cinemas have cut it to 3%... The film's comprehensive screening rate today is 16.2%..."

"At 9 o'clock in the morning, China Film Southern Shinkansen, China Film Star Cinema Line, and New Film Association Cinema Line issued a joint announcement regarding "Legend of the Gods" Response to the low screening schedule of "Legend of the Gods":

Previously, the group's marketing department had made a relatively scientific and reasonable estimate of the market potential of "Legend of the Gods" before its release:

The makeup and coloring of the film are eye-catching, the lines are exaggerated and perfunctory, the style is abrupt and patchwork, the acting is exaggerated and poor, the theme deviates from Eastern culture, and the plot is a mess... Looking at the whole movie, there is nothing to recommend.

Therefore, the group does not think that the film is worth investing a large share of the screening resources, and the comprehensive box office and film reviews of the film in the two days since its release also prove that the market department's prediction is accurate It is correct that the film is a complete rotten film...

Based on the principle of being responsible to the audience, responsible for the profitability of the cinema chain, and fair treatment of other high-quality films, we will continue to reduce the film's screening rate as appropriate to support other high-quality films and meet the needs of the audience and fans..."

"The three cinema chains under Shanghai Film Group followed closely and responded to the low screening of "Legend of the Gods":

A rotten film that has been abused and complained by the audience and fans is openly clamoring and demanding super-standard screening resources and treatment. This is extremely unreasonable in itself. , and they have no self-awareness.

With an investment of more than 500 million RMB, they made such a bad movie that can be on the list of the worst movies in the history of Chinese-language films, or even on the top three of the competitive list. This has to make people in the industry doubt whether you have made the movie carefully, and whether all the money has been spent on the movie? Or is the high investment just a gimmick of your financial operation..."

The joint "counterattack" of the theaters under the two state-owned giants in the Chinese-language film and television industry, China Film and Shanghai Film, and the ruthless response directly and directly, can be said to have shocked the entire circle!

For the first time, the eldest and second brothers stood up directly, without any pretense, and spoke nakedly: I did it, and I gave you the reason, what do you want, you rubbish?

The circle was so quiet that no one dared to interfere in this matter, but privately they were definitely watching the excitement with shining eyes. Because this is Bonner and China Star, being "double-hit" together!

"No hope, just wait to die."

Yu Dong's mentality was on the verge of collapse at this moment, so much so that he started to "talk nonsense" on the phone, and his tone was extremely cold, not giving Xiang Qiang any face at all.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my wife to do that... You came from China Film Group. I wonder if Mr. Yu has any other solution for this situation? After all, we..."

"Solution? Haha, unless I become the chairman of China Film Group!

Chairman Xiang, I can tell you clearly today that once those two notices come out, starting from tomorrow, except for Bonar Cinema Line, all other domestic cinemas will significantly reduce the screening schedule of "Legend of the Gods". This is inevitable! Be prepared. This movie is gone and all is lost.

Moreover, there will most likely be no China Star in the mainland in the future! I've said all. After that, we don't have to cooperate anymore. Everything ends here! Your wife is really a disaster..."

Yu Dong cursed out words that completely tore his face apart. Without waiting for the other party to react, he resolutely hung up the phone, and then blocked and deleted... As for the finishing work after "Legend of the Gods", the company's people will handle it, and official business will be handled impartially!

Yawning, Lin Nan watched the excitement and gave two thumbs up. So many netizens caught it, and they all tagged him, "Look, Director Lin slipped his hand again!"

"Let's go, hurry up and go out with me."

Liu Yifei tied her hair into a bun, wore a white T-shirt and knee-length denim shorts, and stepped on white sneakers. She waved at the door, looking like she couldn't wait to go out for a ride.

On her white wrist, the golden braided gold bracelet and the diamond bracelet complement each other, making her movements even more graceful.

"Come on, after finishing the filming, you really let yourself go."

"Oh, it's just these few days. I'll start reading in two days. I haven't finished the last book yet, so hurry up..."

Grabbing Lin Nan's hand, Liu Yifei went straight to the garage. She was driving today.

A few minutes later, with bursts of roar, a red sports car jumped out of the garage and drove out of the gate.

During the day, the entertainment reporters were very busy because they captured many photos of Director Lin and Producer Liu;

Liu Yifei tried on Lin Nan's sunglasses, the two of them picked out silk scarves, ate each other's cakes secretly, and went to a car show to show off... They really just ate, drank, had fun, wandered around, and even went to the library in the end...

…

Huan Rui's "Qing Yun Zhi" has officially started airing. In line with the principle of supporting Zhao Liying, Shanhai Media also forwarded and supported it.

However, it seems that neither the casting nor the styling have met the approval of fans of the original work. When the second episode was airing, there were a lot of complaints online.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who had been playing for a day, went to bed very early at night and slept soundly. The two of them got up earlier in the morning because they were going to the launch conference of "The Founding of an Army".

As the top director and producer couple in the industry, they cannot be late for such an event named above!

Compared with yesterday, the news outside in the morning has changed a lot. It has changed a lot!

"Co-produced by Xinli, Shengkai Films, Kadokawa Pictures Co., Ltd., and Emperor Films, and directed by Chen Kaige, the costume, suspense, and fantasy masterpiece "The Legend of the Demon Cat" was officially launched at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang at 8 o'clock this morning. Power on!"

"Controlled by China Film, jointly produced by Bona, Bayi Film Studio, and Media Asia, with La Peikang as the chief producer and directed by Liu Weiqiang, the tribute blockbuster "The Founding of the Army" will be held in the capital Wangzuo Town at 9 o'clock this morning. Hold a launch conference..."

"On the third day of its release, the daily box office of "Legend of the Gods" dropped again, to 32.25 million; the film's first three-day weekend grossed a total of 135 million."

"Jackie Chan's movie "The Runaway" has been in theaters for 11 days and has grossed a total of 750 million at the box office, with a daily revenue of more than 30 million. It still has the potential to dominate the July schedule..."

…

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei arrived at the launch conference of "The Founding of an Army", it was already crowded with people. There were many first- and second-tier actors and stars in the industry, and even more official media.

The leaders of the General Administration, Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen and others were all there. The director of the Bayi Factory was very conspicuous in his military uniform... There were people from the Central Propaganda, Youth League Central Committee and other departments, and the scene was really big.

"Senior Brother Lin, Yifei, this way!"

Han Jianu greeted from a distance, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei followed the voice and passed by.

"I think this movie is going to be bad." As soon as she sat down, Han Jianu whispered to Liu Yifei, and her eyes glanced at the large group of creative actors in the front.

"Don't let Dong Han, Dong La and others hear what you said. Be careful to beat you up."

Liu Yifei chuckled and joked, while Lin Nan was listening on the side and also dealing with the insiders coming and going to say hello to him.

"That's what it is. This kind of gift film actually casts so many non-professional celebrities to play the main roles. I don't know what Uncle La was thinking."

"You two chat first, I'll go over there." Lin Nan said softly to Liu Yifei. He was talking about the direction of Han Sanping. Several familiar leaders were there, waving to him.

"Yeah, okay."

Lin Nan stood up and walked towards the leadership camp.

…

Wu Ershan left his own Changshengtian Pictures, well, it was just upgraded from a studio to a company!

He will have a place in the producer of "The Trilogy of the Gods", that is, he will participate in the project in the name of Changshengtian Pictures.

Song Ge's Maybach was parked and waiting outside. When he saw Wu Ershan leading his assistant out with a thick document bag, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Director Wu, today we are going to read your script. And for such a big project, who wouldn't be excited? Haha..."

"The project is big, but the cycle is also longer. Director Song, as the old saying goes, I'm not sure about Director Lin. We have to be mentally prepared."

Wu Ershan said it very seriously. Although he really wanted to try something through these three series of blockbusters and express what he had in mind, he had to be modest. For Lin Nan, he was really not sure of winning.

"Let's go first. I think Director Lin is attending the launch conference. He will be here at noon as promised;

Also, regarding your mentality, Director Wu, I have to retort: ​​Life is nothing more than a few things, and desires can never be filled! "

Looking at Song Ge, who had a smile on his face and seemed to have absolute confidence, Wu Ershan nodded in acquiescence. Fame and fortune are indeed addictive, and he has experienced it himself.

"Okay, let's set off first; make arrangements over there in advance and wait for Director Lin to come over."
