That year Huayu

To be honest, after so many years of filmmaking, Ning Hao has made literary films, and is good at black humor comedies. He even does very well with realistic themes, such as "No Man's Land";

But he is really not good at it, or he has never made a science fiction movie at all, especially serious science fiction.

However, this does not prevent him from making magical changes, changing a science fiction novel into what he needs, into his own style;

Furthermore, it changed from a more serious science fiction novel to a script in the form of "comedy + science fiction"!

""Village Teacher"... you are really good at choosing!" Lin Nan smacked her mouth, not knowing what to say, so she could only sigh.

"You can't go back on your word. You promised me before that I can choose from your company's copyright library." Ning Hao waved the novel in his hand, as if he was determined to win.

“Well, I always keep my word and will never break my promise.

However, you have chosen the copyright, so do we have to calculate the copyright fee? As the old saying goes, brothers will settle the score. "

Director Lin changed his tone and changed the topic with a smile. Naturally, you won't go back on what you promised, but it's the same thing, and the money issue still needs to be discussed, otherwise it will be chaos.

Hearing this, Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan with a disgusted expression, "You and Yifei can use the copyright to offset the investment share, and even make additional cash investments. Is that okay?"

"Huh? Haha, that's a good suggestion. You are really a thief. Not only did you take my copyright, but you also tied Yifei and I on board!

I have to admit that you are becoming more and more like a capitalist now, and you are not far away from hanging up street lights. "

Lin Nan joked silently, but he did not refuse; Ning Hao could also hear the ridicule in his words, with the same smile on his face and a treacherous expression.

On the way back to Tiangong Color from the screenwriting department, Director Ning couldn’t wait to start planning the movie:

"After the special effects and post-production of "Elf" are completely completed, our senior screenwriter and I can start working on the script slowly.

As I said again, I will not copy the original work, but make major changes. I will only use its ideas and settings to make my movie. Well, they must be similar in spirit but not in form.

After the audience enters the theater, they will never be able to tell that the movie is derived from "Country Teacher"... The preparations are almost done, probably by the middle of next year, right? "

"That's your business, I don't care. But according to the founder-shareholder agreement between you and Huanxi, Huanxi seems to have priority investment rights in your movie, right?"

"This, um, indeed. I know you dislike Dong Ping a little bit, but I am the main controller, and you don't need to deal with each other... Besides, if Xu Zheng starts the "囧" series in the future, won't there still be problems? Are you happy?"

While Lin Nan and Ning Hao were muttering, at Hongxingwu, Jiang Yuerou and the film purchase managers of several satellite channels had also determined the final exact time for a round of copyright negotiations, which is tomorrow morning!

There is no airtight wall in this world, and the "restraint order" matter finally spread, spread to the next door, and was brought to the surface.

In the morning, in just 20 days, all 53 mainland domestic dramas involving 42 artists starring in the movie were taken down, and a large number of artists were returned to the mainland, their performances were canceled, and their contracts were torn up. The news was reported by the official media It exploded.

Hong Kong media and Taiwanese media followed suit with reports, which made the matter reach its peak within a few hours, raging across the entire Internet.

Regardless of how the higher-ups responded, when Lin Nan and Ning Hao went out to "forage" at noon, the Internet was already in a state of commotion.

Countless netizens and fans got into fights and scolded each other. The former supported the ban, while the latter abused the former wildly, and even attacked the completely "non-existent" policy...

If nothing else, the above impromptu emergency meeting should be indispensable!

"With so much noise outside, the response from above is naturally quick. As for how to respond? It's nothing more than: This is completely false rumors. There has never been such a policy. At most, it is a spontaneous behavior of the industry... The competent authorities cannot intervene!"

At Huayi's dinner, Wang Zhongjun joked in a teasing tone. The people around him all laughed in agreement.

"The San Sebastian International Film Festival will open in the middle of next month. Xiaogang, you will definitely bring the crew there. There will be Golden Horse after that, so the preparations for the "Youth" project will not be delayed, right? ?”

After everyone laughed, Wang Zhongjun looked at Feng Xiaogang and asked about business.

The latter smiled and shook his head. Today's little steel cannon smiled even more ferociously. It seemed that the skin disease was getting worse. Coupled with the teeth that people couldn't bear to look at, they were obviously a little scary!

"There will be no delay. Zhenyun said that the script will be completed by the end of this month or early next month and will be sent directly for review. This time, we will wait until it is reviewed before casting. After all, it is a sensitive subject."

"Has the wind about this project been released?" Wang Zhonglei took over Feng Xiaogang's words and asked.

"It has been released. Director Feng's project is a high-quality and sought-after resource in the industry. Naturally, we should leave time for everyone to compete." A senior executive immediately flattered him and replied.

Everyone here knows that Feng Xiaogang is full of ambitions for this "Youth"; he wants both artistic attributes and commercial results, and the casting was planned to be a business from the beginning, and was done by the industry Companies compete!

"Well, just let the news out. Director Feng just waits to finish." Wang Zhongjun said with a smile and raised his glass, and a group of people followed him.

At this moment, Wang Zhonglei's assistant suddenly pushed open the box door and walked over quickly. Amid everyone's doubtful eyes, he came close to the former: "Mr. Wang, your phone number is..."

"Huh? Everyone eat first, I'll go out and take a call." Wang Zhonglei frowned subconsciously after hearing the name, but his expression returned to normal in an instant, and he stood up and walked outside.

Wang Zhongjun and others didn't pay much attention to it, because Wang Zhonglei was originally the second boss in charge of external affairs of the group, so he naturally had a lot to do.

Outside the box, Wang Zhonglei took over the "calling" mobile phone and smiled naturally on his face, and his voice seemed to be full of smiles:

"Mr. Chen, you are a rare visitor. Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Haha..."

Ten minutes later, the call was hung up, and Wang Zhonglei returned to the box with a look of amusement on his face; his eyes swept over Wang Zhongjun and looked at Feng Xiaogang: "Director Feng, a big fish has bitten the hook!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"The time has been arranged. I will take you to meet Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei. It's up to you whether you can make a name for yourself through this movie.

It's still the old saying: Xiaohong relies on support, resources can solve it; big red relies on fate, this is metaphysics. Unless you have a steady stream of good resources, like Jing Tian.

But in terms of resources, there are only a few actresses in this industry who are not lacking in resources... Now is the era of capital, and the film and television industry is no longer what it was 10 years ago; money is not that valuable! "

"I know, I will cherish it, Mr. Chen."

Although she felt unwilling to be born at the wrong time, what could she do? I can only hope that the road ahead will be smooth sailing, and I can be like those top A-list actresses...

The person behind the desk opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say what he wanted to say. He just waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. There will be announcements later."

"Yeah, okay."

When there was only one person left in the empty office, he couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to go to Hua Yi to find resources;

But there are only so many great directors in China, and the only places where he can trade profits for roles are with Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi!

"Xiaoli, you really have a good son-in-law. Cannes International Film Festival, Best Supporting Actress Award."

…………

It was said that I was going to see a ready-to-wear show at a fashion show, and I wanted to do some shopping on the way, but the result of this shopping was: I only took my assistant with me when I went there, but when I came back, I had a lot of big and small bags with me!

After getting off work in the evening, Lin Nan was shocked when she went to the airport to pick up the plane. Did she go to the magic city to purchase goods? The RV in Hongxingwu was filled with bags and jewelry bought for the assistant.

As for Shu Chang, the same goes for her. Her assistants and employees all had happy expressions, as if they were celebrating the New Year. After all, the cheapest gifts start at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

After parting ways, Liu Yifei got into Lin Nan's passenger seat; on the way home, she shared today's itinerary with a smile.

"I met Sister Gong Li in Shanghai today. Her seat was not far from mine. We all had dinner together at noon. I heard from her that she was going to attend the bell-ringing ceremony of China Film and Television Co., Ltd. the day after tomorrow. I still I learned for the first time that she also bought a lot of shares in China Film Group Corporation...La Dong specially invited her to attend the listing bell-ringing ceremony."

"When the potatoes are on the market, I will take you to pick them." Lin Nan added with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait, hehe." Liu Yifei was not reserved this time, looking as arrogant as she should have been with him.

"I guess many people in the industry are waiting to send congratulations the day after tomorrow, and we will not be exempted from this."

"Well, that's about right. After all, China Film Group has gone public."

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and joked playfully. She remembered Lin Nan said: China Film Film Co., Ltd. will materialize China Film's "power" and then display it in the financial market!

When I got home, it was another night of going to bed early and getting up early. Well, there were a few fights in the middle.

Lin Nan, who was tired from working all day, was no match for Liu Yifei, who was full of energy after playing all day. Therefore, Director Lin can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman. After all, face is the most important thing!

Ever since, he couldn't get up in the morning... Director Ning Da could only work on the post-production of Tiangong Color alone in the morning.

"At around 9 a.m., Huayi Group and Director Feng Xiaogang's Studio issued a joint announcement:

Following multiple invitations from Hollywood agency CAA, the innovative artist agency, director Feng Xiaogang has confirmed that he has signed with CAA and has become a contracted director. In the future, we do not rule out entering the international film market and entering Hollywood to direct foreign language films..."

"It is reported that CAA is one of the three major agencies in Hollywood. The company has recruited many first-line stars and directors in Hollywood, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tom Hanks, George K. Rooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc.;

CAA has previously signed contracts with many celebrities in the Chinese film industry, including well-known directors Li An, Wu Yusen, Wong Kar-Wai, actors Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Yu Nan, etc..."

As soon as the entire film and television industry opened their eyes, there was news that Feng Xiaogang was going to enter Hollywood. It was really exciting.

Many first- and second-tier actors in the industry are posting flattery on Weibo, scrambling to get ahead, as if they are greeting the future Hollywood director in advance!

But in Lin Nan's opinion, this is really a bit ridiculous. After all, with Xiao Gangpao's style, he can't get along in Hollywood, and it's impossible for him to get along.

Even if he signed a contract with the agency there, his main business must still be in China. At most, he might be able to help a little more when he is competing for awards abroad.

Hmm? Competing for awards?

Thinking of this, Lin Nan seemed to suddenly understand... Feng Xiaogang really burned his boats!

Yawning and going downstairs, Lin Nan looked up and saw Liu Yifei wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, barefoot, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and answering the phone.

Her left leg was on her right leg, and her white feet and long legs were shaking, which was really eye-catching, hurting people's mind, body, and kidneys!

"Who's calling? You look so happy, with a smile on your face?"

"It's Director Jiang. The copyright negotiation for "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" will start soon. In the afternoon, no, at the earliest before noon, we will know the final result."

"Oh, that's something to look forward to, but remember to give bonuses to the production team of Lin Nan Pictures."

Lin Nan said jokingly and sat next to Liu Yifei, who smiled and nodded: "No problem, Director Lin."

Light, Wang Changtian's secretary is reporting the progress.

"Director Wang, the new car will arrive at the customs around the 20th, and it can be received within two days at most."

"Well, as long as it can be signed before the 25th, it will be fine, otherwise it will be a shame to send a gift late, hehe..."

Wang Changtian smiled and shook his head. He spent more than a thousand dollars, which was over budget!

Just after he finished sighing and joking, he saw the phone on the table buzzing. Wang Changtian answered the phone and joked, "You called me in person, it seems that you are going to wrap up?"

A hearty smile came from the other end of the phone, it was Wang Baoqiang's voice: "Boss Wang, it will be finished in the next two days, can I call you in advance to report."

"It is really not easy for you, a new director, to finish "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two" in more than four months but less than five months. This seems to be the first time you have been on the crew for five months without going home?"

"Boss Wang, it's for making a movie. It's my first time as a director, I'm not strong enough, I must use time and attitude to make up for it. But it's okay, I can go back to see my son, daughter and wife in two days, haha..."

Wang Baoqiang laughed happily, firstly because his directorial debut was finally going to be completed, and secondly because he really missed home.

"Then wrap up quickly, Director Lin and I are waiting in the capital to hold a celebration banquet for you, and we will only invite you."

While Wang Changtian and Wang Baoqiang were chatting on the phone, the latter's company had just completed an asset transfer.

"He's coming back."

"What are you afraid of? He's just a fool. He'll continue to fool you in the past. When you find a reason, you can make trouble with him and divorce him...

But before that, we have to get some evidence against him, which may be useful in the future..."
