That year Huayu

"Lin, this is how Hollywood is, and it should be similar over there. The Eighth National Congress has been arrogant for a long time. This is also the reason why the independent film industry was born and grew..."

As Tom drove, he talked about the past history of the eight major Hollywood companies, which were arrogant, monopolistic, domineering, and unreasonable.

The booming independent film industry has made this situation much less common, but it still exists.

"Tom, it goes without saying, help me buy a plane ticket." Lin Nan said with a cold face.

"Oh well."

…

After the cast list of "The Deer and the Cauldron" was officially announced, it became the target of verbal criticism from many actors. These people were all ruined by Zhang Jizhong's "audition".

Actor Du Chun even held a press conference, saying that Zhang Jizhong's talent show was a scam, a hype, and a delay, so that his colleagues should not be fooled in the future.

Hua Yi hurriedly issued a statement before suppressing the decision. The main reason was that Huang Xiaoming's popularity had been accepted by the public. "The Condor" was so popular that it had already entered the Hong Kong Island TV station.

"20th Century Fox revealed that Lin Nan, a young Chinese director, rejected their invitation to cooperate. The remuneration included 1.2 million screenwriting fees and 2% of the box office share..."

"Twentieth Century Fox, one of the top eight companies in Hollywood, expresses deep regret."

…

In July, the already lively entertainment industry in China received a piece of breaking news.

"Sissi, didn't Lin Nan say he was going to South Korea?" Mother Liu asked.

Liu Yifei looked confused. Lin Nan had never told her. Just now, Zhu Yawen called her to ask her about this.

"I don't know, he didn't tell me about it."

Lin Nan's new company was surrounded by reporters.

Yue Jun came forward to be interviewed.

"I'm sorry, everyone, Director Lin hasn't come back yet, and we don't know the specific situation. Let's wait until he comes back."

"Yawen?

Wang Jinghua looked at Zhu Yawen in front of her, waiting for his answer.

She really wanted to know what kind of project made Lin Nan reject a company like Twentieth Century Fox.

Chengtian's side just hinted at her.

Everyone in the company knows that the person who is close to Lin Nan is Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen shook her head, "I don't know at all. I only saw it in the news when he went to South Korea."

Anyone who inquires about information at this time is very utilitarian.

"He hasn't come back yet?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"The internet is not as fast as a plane. Even if we rush back non-stop, we would still be flying in the sky right now."

Wang Zhonglei smiled.

"I rejected the invitation from 20th Century Fox. What are you thinking about?" Wang Zhongjun couldn't wait to switch with Lin Nan.

China Film, Shanghai Film, Enlight, Wanda, and several old partners were all paying attention to Lin Nan's news, but their mobile phones were always turned off, and they couldn't contact anyone at all, and they didn't know his return flight.

At the airport exit, Lin Nan looked confused. A group of media surrounded him like they were arresting a criminal.

"Go to the side and don't block the road." Lin Nan urged.

"Director Lin, Fox said that you rejected their invitation to cooperate. Is that true?"

Lin Nan understood now, "Yes, we haven't reached an agreement."

"Can I ask Director Lin, what kind of project is it? The Eight Hollywood Studios offered a price of 1.2 million and a 2% box office share."

A reporter took the opportunity to talk.

"What did you say?" Lin Nan was even more confused. Wasn't it 800,000?

Hearing the same quotation from several media outlets, Lin Nan felt even more angry now. He was cruel enough to preemptively change the numbers. In the end, he didn't know how to praise!

"Let let..."

Lin Nan squeezed out of the crowd and got into the car.

"When did this news come out?"

The employee who was driving noticed that Lin Nan's tone was a bit cold and said carefully, "It appeared on the portal in the early morning. It was published by an overseas reporter."

At this time, the phone that was just turned on was constantly vibrating and text messages were also prompting.

Lin Nan was older than the other, and he had realized that he might have been tricked by the two foreigners.

As for why the quotation given to myself is different from what was told to the media, it is no longer important.

After answering the phone, Lin Nan rubbed his eyes and said, "Go to China Film Academy."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Han Sanping has been in a good mood recently. "Time Cruise", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and other invested movies are also being finalized and finalized. He wants to have performance and political achievements.

He knew about the news about Lin Nan and 20th Century Fox in the early morning, when they were still having a fierce fight at the bar.

The most successful thing in the past two years was poaching Lin Nan from Shanghai Film Group Corporation. It didn't matter that the first film was invested by Shanghai Film Group Corporation, but now we are not close to China Film Group Corporation.

"I've been thinking about you since early morning."

Han Sanping smiled when he saw Lin Nan coming in.

"What's there to worry about? I've been humiliated this time."

Lin Nan pulled a face and slumped down on the sofa, showing a sense of decadence.

Seeing that Lin Nan seemed to have something on his mind, Han Sanping also stopped smiling.

"What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing to be invited by the top eight Hollywood companies to collaborate? Why did you reject it and feel humiliated?"

"New Line is also owned by Time Warner. I didn't appear to be arrogant at the time. Mr. Han didn't know the faces of those two people at Twentieth Century Fox..."

Lin Nan recounted the scene intermittently, especially when the other party arrogantly mocked the domestic film industry for not being able to make special effects blockbusters or such large-scale technology productions.

Although there may be some truth to it, it is disgusting to be ridiculed outright.

The more Han Sanping listened, the darker his face became, almost freezing with frost.

"The bullshit here, the rotten stuff..."

Han Sanping slapped the table and cursed.

"What was negotiated with me was one price, and what was told to the media was another story. Even if I go to explain to the media now, it would be useless. They have preconceptions..."

Lin Nan felt a little bitter, he would definitely suffer the consequences of being a mute.

"What script is it?"

Han Sanping suddenly asked, and Lin Nan had a bad feeling. Mr. Han might have committed one of his old habits.

"A space science fiction film, a script about going to Mars to rescue astronauts. The special effects are very difficult to do and the cost is too high..."

Lin Nan's voice became quieter as he spoke, because he noticed that Han Sanping's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, like a wolf.

"Fuck his uncle's 20th Century Fox, let's do it ourselves!"

Lin Nan had guessed that this would be the case. The more he talked about spending money, the more interested he became.

"Mr. Han, this project is too big." Lin Nan poured cold water on it.

"Don't worry about it for now. Just tell me what's the most difficult part about it."

"Big special effects, realistic outer space, alien planet special effects, aircraft, spacesuits and a series of other issues will definitely require a large number of CG lenses, or real shots of special landforms..."

Lin Nan couldn't speak any more, and Han Sanping's eyes made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Do you have a budget?"

Lin Nan shook his head. He had never thought about doing this. He didn't think about the budget. He couldn't come up with the budget for a while.

"I haven't thought about the budget, but if I want to do it, I'm afraid it will cost several hundred million."

Lin Nan said something, and as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. The person in front of him was Han Sanping, the person who loved doing this kind of production, almost obsessed with it.

"Is it really impossible for China to handle this later stage?"

Lin Nan did not answer this question, because Han Sanping himself was shaking his head, and what the two people from 20th Century Fox said did make sense.

"How about doing it in Hollywood? New Line? Or Lionsgate?"

Han Sanping asked again. His mind was filled with what Lin Nan said about the difficulties in shooting and post-production, and then he was thinking: I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of millions.

"It should be possible, if you take it over there and make it."

Lin Nan regretted coming to China Film Academy, but he still told the truth.

"Then do it. Anyway, you are also preparing for the next part. Didn't they say we can't make it? Then let's do it..."

…

After returning to the villa exhausted, Lin Nan went to bed. He didn't want to worry about it in advance. It was important to get some sleep.

Lin Nan did not deliberately hide the fact that he stayed at China Film Studio for more than two hours.

In the evening, Lin Nan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up. A pure white cat squatted on his chest, and beside him was Liu Yifei with a smirk on his face.

"wake up?"

"Well, I was forcefully awakened by you."

"Get up quickly, you have a lot of news today."

Lin Nan hugged the cat, sat up, and said teasingly: "I'm the only one wearing clothes. If I'm naked, if you come in like this, you won't be able to get out."

"Hehe, then I will definitely sneak away quietly and not wake you up."

With the evening breeze blowing, Lin Nan listened to Liu Yifei talk about what happened in the past two days. Shu Chang turned on the phone, and the heroine of "Lust, Caution" was decided, and she was Tian Yu's girlfriend.

Miss Liu's album has been confirmed to be released throughout Asia.

"There has never been a record for a new singer to have her first album released throughout Asia. Congratulations, Sissi."

"Thank you, I will always keep the same pace as you."

The girl said sweetly.

"Then you have to work hard, I still have a Silver Bear trophy."

"Humph, I really can't speak."

…

The domestic box office of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" has reached 100 million, which is more than the original time of more than 70 million. The global box office has also exceeded the original time of just over 200 million US dollars, reaching 250 million.

This news was pinned to the top of Huayi’s official website, and Wang Zhonglei held a press conference specifically for this purpose.

"In the future, Huayi will insist on taking its movies overseas, cooperating with Hollywood, and going international. It will not only participate in movies, but also participate in production and Sino-US co-productions..."

Wanda has reaped the benefits, doubling its cinema construction plan and efficiency, and also put forward plans for the iMax giant screen.

Only China Film and Shanghai Film were a little dull, and only posted a congratulatory message on their official website. On the contrary, internal meetings and reports were much more lively.

Lin Nan was reading the script, and Han Sanping was right. He was so young, how could he do it if he didn't work hard? It was just a big production, it was done.

Unlike the previous scripts, this time there was a lot to prepare in the early stage, and it was not just about raising enough funds.

Many things need to be explained scientifically and require help from a professional team and personnel. Once these are sorted out in the early stage, it will be easier after starting up.

For this reason, Lin Nan has asked Han Sanping to contact the relevant departments, hoping to get their support.

At the very least, it will help you solve the difficulty with props. Of course, it would be better if you can provide more help.

This film has a very good intention. On the one hand, it shows the country's booming aerospace power. On the other hand, it also reflects the mind and integrity of a big country, the sentiment of never abandoning or giving up, and the three views are extremely upright.

In Lin Nan's opinion, the green light for this movie from beginning to end should have been given by the higher-ups.
