That year Huayu

Wang Zhonglei sat on the office chair, frowning slightly.

"You mean, I just finished the formalities at the company in the morning, and the news from the Light came out in the afternoon?"

"Mr. Wang, don't even think about it, I definitely got the role before!"

Li Cong said swornly.

If the film contract was signed before the contract expired, then Hua Yi would have every reason to fight for his own interests.

"You go and negotiate with Guang Guang first, be more formal. Find out who arranged it and what is it called?"

"Zhao Liying."

"Yes, let's first ask who made the connection and whether Zhao Liying has signed a movie contract."

At this moment, Wang Zhonglei already had a plan in mind.

If the movie contract is signed, then a lawsuit will be filed, and Huayi's interests will not be lost.

Even if he didn't sign, he still needs to know which company did it before he can talk about the follow-up.

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

…………

"Warring States" became the first blockbuster after the millennium to have such a tragic box office performance.

After six days of grossing 61.64 million, the daily box office dropped directly to 3 million.

This large-scale production, with an investment of 150 million and a cast spanning three countries and four regions, will most likely not last more than half a month.

""Warring States" was also terrible in North America, and the publisher just gave up on it."

"How much is it over there?" Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and asked.

"One week, $68,000."

"How many?"

Yue Jun smiled and said, "Director Lin, you heard that right, it's 68,000 US dollars."

This number is indeed dumbfounding.

A blockbuster hit the streets at the same time in China and North America, and "Warring States" can be regarded as the only one.

…………

"Director Wang, someone from Hua Yi is here."

Wang Changtian didn't respond for a while.

Although everyone's surname is Wang, he and the two brothers don't have much interaction on weekdays. They are not on the same path.

"What are you here for?"

"It's Li Jie from Huayi's agent, and he also has a legal representative."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian smiled instantly.

"A pig with a green onion stuck in its nose, she's just pretending to be here for me! Bring her here."

Watching the secretary leave the office, Wang Changtian remembered something and suddenly found it even more interesting.

Not long after, Li Chong, dressed in professional attire, was brought into the office, followed by a middle-aged man.

Wang Changtian was a well-known big shot in the industry, and Li Chong didn't dare to take charge of him.

"Director Wang, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Well, it's not a bother. If you have something to say, just tell me."

Li Cong saw that Wang Changtian didn't want to be polite and spoke quickly.

"Director Wang, that's it.

Yesterday afternoon, Raytheon announced the candidate for the lead female role in "The Big Four". But yesterday morning, our contract with her was officially terminated.

Mr. Wang, please let me come to visit you and find out when Zhao Liying got the role, because she most likely broke the contract. "

Wang Changtian even found it funny. The woman in front of him made Wang Zhonglei move out.

"I made a reservation for her last month..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a glimmer of light flashing in Li Chong's eyes. She glanced at the legal officer beside her, who nodded.

"Director Wang, has Guangguang signed a contract with her?"

Li Cong asked impatiently.

"No."

Wang Changtian's answer left Li Chong at a loss for a moment.

Why didn't you sign the contract?

Leaving the heroine with a young actor for more than a month without signing a contract? What about the liar?

"Director Wang, can you tell me who helped her get the role?"

"sure."

Wang Changtian did not refuse. At this point, there is no need to deliberately hide it.

“The role is what Lin Nan wants.

Now you understand why you don’t need to sign a contract, right? Because it’s not necessary, haha…”

Li Cong and the middle-aged man beside him were stunned for a moment.

If things are like this, then they can only go back and report to Wang Zhonglei...

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for disturbing you today."

"I won't send it."

The secretary took the person out, and Wang Changtian couldn't help laughing.

He took the phone and dialed a number.

"Lin Nan, people from Huayi came to my place to inquire about news. It's quite formal, hehe..."

…………

"Warring States" is completely gone.

There is only one blockbuster film left in April, "Guan Yunchang", which is only a few days away from release.

The leading actors, led by Donnie Yen, began to increase their promotional efforts and occasionally promoted "Warring States".

"This movie has an investment of 150 million. As for the box office target, I don't dare to set it too exaggeratedly, but I won't be conservative either.

Donnie Yen's Guan Yu is worthy of all the audience's expectations! We are also confident in "Guan Yunchang", it will definitely sell for 600 million! "

""Guan Yunchang" and "Warring States" are completely different..."

Many mainland filmmakers can't stand the moral character of these people in Hong Kong.

Is it necessary to keep mentioning "Warring States" like this? It feels like slapping mainland movie people in the face...

…………

Shanhai Media released a new announcement to the outside world through Weibo.

"Welcome actress Zhao Liying to join the big family of Shanhai Media..."

With a simple Weibo post, I liked Zhao Liying, just like when I welcomed Yang Mi and Lei Jiayin.

"I am very happy to join Shanhai Media and will work hard to make progress with the company in the future. Thank you Director Lin, Director Yue and Director Jiang."

Zhao Liying also updated a Weibo post, tagging Shanhai Media.

Within an hour, word spread in the industry.

Shanhai Media has signed another actor, and she is an actress who was not well-known before.

What makes actresses in the industry most speechless is that the heroine of "Four Famous Catchers" is the newly signed actress given to Shanhai Media.

There is no need to think about this anymore, it must be the role that Lin Nan Pictures helped get.

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Reba, Yang Mi and others also quickly received the news.

Several people politely posted words such as welcome, company meeting, or dinner party on Weibo, and added their following.

Yang Mi frowned a little now.

Zeng Jia has been on the phone for more than ten minutes and is asking about Zhao Liying.

After a while, the call ended.

"How is it? What's going on?" Yang Mi looked at Zeng Jia and asked quickly.

"I used to work for Huayi, and I'm very familiar with Director Jiang. I acted in Zhou Yi's "Big Insider" with Director Xu Zheng..."

The more Zeng Jia spoke, the softer his voice became.

“But this treatment is too good, isn’t it?

She just arrived, and you helped her get the female lead in Guangzhou's "Four Famous Catchers"? "

Yang Mi was a little sour and looked at Zeng Jia again, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you?"

The latter had a helpless smile on his face.

"This girl is the same age as Yifei and one year younger than you. You should know what this means."

Yang Mi nodded unnaturally, "It means there is competition for certain resources?"

"Actually, competition is nothing. After all, the company has a lot of resources and a wide network of contacts. Just like the female lead of the Rays this time, wouldn't we just bring it?"

"Then what do you mean?" Yang Mi was a little confused.

"Do you know how long she signed it?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Haha, I signed it for eight years, that's pretty cruel! Just like Zhang Yi back then."

Zeng Jia said minding his own business.

"Is this why she got a heroine right after she signed the contract?" Yang Mi's eyes widened.

"may be……"

Both of them knew at this moment that the company would definitely give preferential treatment to an artist who has been signed for eight years...

…………

"Mr. Wang, let's just ignore it now?"

Wang Zhonglei had a gloomy face.

If it were any other small company, he would definitely look for trouble, at least preemptively in terms of public opinion.

But there is Lin Nan over there, so this is going to be difficult.

First, the actors and crew did not sign a contract, so Hua Yi had no clue;

Secondly, Lin Nan looked confident and didn't care whether Hua Yi had any opinions or not.

He glanced at Li Chong and said, "You should go back to the brokerage company first."

Li Chong was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Well, Mr. Wang, I'll go back first."

She had some vague guesses that it would be nothing. After all, Lin Nan Pictures was not a small company.

…

Seeing the caller ID, Lin Nan smiled and picked up the phone.

"Director Lin, you are a bit unreasonable, poaching people from my company in advance..."

On the phone, Wang Zhonglei's voice was neither yin nor yang, but also seemed to be joking.

"Mr. Wang, you have wronged me. If Huayi doesn't give artists resources, why don't they let others take the initiative to find a home?"

Lin Nan shouted back directly.

"Haha, Director Lin must at least tell me, right? She..."

Before Wang Zhonglei could continue speaking, Lin Nan interrupted directly.

"I heard that Huayi's people went to Guangming with legal affairs?

If this actor has signed a contract with the crew, what Mr. Wang is talking to me about now should be about compensation or a lawsuit, right? "

Wang Zhonglei chuckled lightly and said nothing.

If Zhao Liying signed a contract with the crew, he would definitely not file a lawsuit, but he would definitely find a way to take a bite out of Lin Nan...

In Wang Zhonglei's eyes, although Lin Nan and Lin Nan Pictures are strong, Huayi is the big brother in the private sector!

"Mr. Wang, if there is nothing serious, I will give up. I am still preparing the promotion plan for "Star Luck" next month."

"OK……"

…………

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Nan shook his head, "It seems like everyone has to give you face..."

Wang Zhonglei on the other side was even more furious. Few people in the circle dared to deal with him like this and not take him seriously.

If anyone else was as presumptuous as him, Wang Zhonglei would either block the other party's films in the same schedule, or use his influence to suppress and exclude him... There are many ways to mess with you.

But when he thought that Lin Nan was opposite him, Wang Zhonglei felt a little helpless. Hua Yi couldn't handle it at all!

In the end, I could only sigh softly, "Let's take a look later..."

…

"Guan Yunchang" held its premiere with much anticipation.

Although the crew politely sent an invitation to Lin Nan Pictures, he did not go.

Ning Hao came back from the premiere and called Lin Nan immediately.

"Haha, you don't know, you just laughed me to death.

Just make fun of "Warring States", at least the special effects of "Warring States" kill it..."

Lin Nan didn't even know what this guy was talking about.

"Those people in Hong Kong Island are simply awesome! Guan Yu is nine feet tall, over two meters tall!

As for Donnie Yen's height of 1.7 meters, he actually used a lot of panoramic lenses when filming.

I’m afraid everyone can’t see that he looks like a monkey…”

Ning Hao chattered, laughing and complaining at the same time.

Only then did Lin Nan understand that the emotion was mocking "Guan Yunchang".
