Lin Nan's "Sou Shen Ji", which had been stopped for a year and a half, has always been the resentment of many book fans, and now after getting the news that Lin Nan will serialize the remaining length of "Sou Shen Ji" on the website, the hearts of these book fans who were originally in a wait-and-see state immediately leaned towards the upcoming Nanshan Chinese website.

For a time, the readership of Nanshan Chinese Network has increased sharply, and according to this trend, it can indeed increase the market share of Nanshan Chinese Network by more than two percent, and it may even be higher.

But the initial market share does not determine the success or failure of a website, Lin Nan alone can not support a website, if the website's books are not good, can not let the readers who come to find the right novels they like, then the website will slowly die, not to mention that now Lin Nan has a strong competitor.

What Lin Nan can bring to the website is only a relatively high starting point, that is, he used his book friends and fans to bring traffic to the website at the beginning, but whether he can retain these traffic, and whether he can turn Lin Nan's book fans into book fans of the website, is the most important factor that determines the success or failure of the website, and it is also a challenge for Gao Han.

After such a long time of receiving and reviewing, Lin Nan believes that Gao Han and they will not let him down.

After promising to release the second half of "Sou Shen Ji" on the upcoming Nanshan Chinese Network, Lin Nan also began to take time to write the manuscript of "Sou Shen Ji", but because he has not typed on a large scale for a long time, the typing speed is now not as good as the peak of previous years, at most 3,000 words an hour, which is still based on the fact that he does not have to think about the plot or organize the sentences, if you add the plot to smooth the sentence, then Lin Nan estimates that he is enough for a thousand words in an hour.

After Wei Junbo sorted out the contract and sent it to Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi really signed the contract very happily, although the matter seemed very abnormal at this point, but neither Wei Junbo nor Lin Nan saw that there was any crisis in this abnormal thing, so they could only put this matter aside and no longer think about it.

After signing a contract with Zhou Xingchi. Lin Nan began to prepare for filming, because the filming of the third part of "Chainsaw" has taken away a lot of people from the company, so it is a bit stretched to shoot "Journey to the West" now, so he has to go down. Lin Nan finally decided to find a partner to work with, and this drama could not be filmed by the strength of his Nanshan Film and Television Company alone.

The first thing Lin Nan found must be the ancient entertainment that has been cooperating for a long time, although the ancient entertainment company was very interested in Lin Nan's shooting plan after learning about it, but there was nothing they could do, it was now May, they were also working on the whole line, there were basically no idlers in the company, and there was no team to cooperate with Lin Nan to shoot.

However, he is very interested in investment, but this Lin Nan is absolutely unnecessary, and filming a "Journey to the West" has not yet made him unable to turn over funds.

After failing to talk to the ancient entertainment. Lin Nan naturally aimed at the other four giants, Haitian International always made trouble for Lin Nan before, although it died down after "Chainsaw" opened the foreign market, but Lin Nan still didn't have a good impression of this company, so he didn't think about it.

And the only thing left is the 71 Film Studio. Xia Entertainment Film and Television Company and Hantang Media, Qiyi Film Studio is completely controlled by the state, Lin Nan doesn't want to cooperate with it, because he is worried that he will be subject to too many restrictions in the filming process, and he can't drink Qiyi Film Studio at that time, which will only increase the trouble, and the most important thing is that he is really embarrassed to negotiate the price with Qiyi Film Studio.

So you can only choose between Xia Entertainment Film and Television and Hantang Media. It doesn't matter which of these two companies you choose, so Lin Nan also sent someone to these two companies to express his intention as soon as possible, and then talked about cooperation.

Lin Nan means that Nanshan Film and Television Company will fund it, and the partner will provide filming personnel, equipment, some actors and shooting venues. He then pays the partner for his labor.

Soon, Xia Yu Film and Television's reply reached Lin Nan's ears, Xia Yu Film and Television Company was not enthusiastic about this cooperation, because they could not see any benefits in the matter of cooperating with Lin Nan, this matter was actually to put it bluntly, it was to lend their chickens to Lin Nan to help Lin Nan lay eggs. Then Lin Nan paid him some fees, but after the high-level accounting of Xia Entertainment Film and Television, he felt that the fee Lin Nan paid him was not as much as he let the chickens lay eggs and sell them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they still have a lot of filming tasks like Chuangu Entertainment, so instead of lending people to Lin Nan, why not shoot their own scenes?

Lin Nan could only shake his head helplessly after knowing this, he could understand this very well, and he couldn't blame Xia Entertainment Film and Television Company.

And now Lin Nan is most worried that Hantang Media's ideas are the same as those of Xia Yu Film and Television Company, so he can only find some worse film and television companies to cooperate.

But fortunately, Hantang Media did not directly reject Lin Nan, but proposed to negotiate again!

There is no direct refusal, which means that there is a great chance to reach cooperation, because this shows that Hantang Media is also very interested in this shooting plan, and both parties are well aware of the meaning of discussing it again, that is, although Hantang Media is interested, it is still a little dissatisfied with the price, let's discuss the price again.

In the end, after many discussions, Hantang Media gave Lin Nan two choices, either to pay Hantang Entertainment 30 million at once, and then Hantang Entertainment provided extras, drama personnel, shooting equipment, venues, etc., all in accordance with the shooting requirements and scale proposed by Lin Nan's side; Or maybe Lin Nan doesn't have to spend a penny, and in the end, Hantang Media gets 15% of the movie's profits, and Hantang Media also adds a clause to Lin Nan, if the movie is finally distributed by Hantang Media, then only 20% of the profit is needed in total.

Faced with the multiple-choice question given by Hantang Media, Lin Nan and Wei Junbo thought about it carefully, and now asking the five giants to help distribute movies generally requires about 10% of the profit, but now Hantang Media only charges 20% of the total profit for filming and distribution, which means that the shooting fee only charges 10% of the total profit, which can be said to be quite cost-effective.

And according to Lin Nan's calculations, the profit that "Journey to the West" can bring to itself is actually about 300 million at most, and 10% is 30 million, and the profit of 20% can also ensure that Hantang Media does its best in the filming project, after all, the income they can get in the end is proportional to the box office of the movie.

After the decision, Lin Nan directly signed a contract with Hantang Media, and then Hantang Media prepared the crew and venue first.

As one of the five giants, Hantang Media's preparations were done very quickly, and some of the other main actors Lin Nan were also contacted through Zhou Xingchi's help, such as his gold medal partner Wu Mengda, and Lin Nan was also very fortunate that in this world Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda They haven't fallen out yet, otherwise his movie is estimated to be difficult to make.

During this period of time, Jiang Lin also led his team to make the script of "Journey to the West", after all, the plot was directly told to them by Lin Nan, they just sorted out what Lin Nan said and then expressed it in the situation of the script, which is not a difficult thing for them.

After the script and actors were ready, Lin Nan also brought a group of leading actors and scripts to the Western Film City in northern China, where the filming of "Journey to the West" was filmed this time.

Lin Nan grew up here since he was a child, and he was used to seeing the Gobi Desert and the wind and sand, but Zhou Xingchi, who had never been here, was a little stunned when they looked at the scene in front of them, which was completely different from the south, and looked up at the sky, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but admire: "White clouds and blue sky, this is the beautiful sky, the sky over there is gray!" ”

Western Cinema is located at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu regions, this kind of Gobi Desert is Lin Nan, who grew up in the north since childhood, can't stand it, Zhou Xingchi They are also bitter after experiencing the initial excitement, the sun during the day is fatal, and the cold at night is fatal, from time to time a hot wind rolls up the sand and blows unkempt and unkempt makes it unbearable for those actresses who love cleanliness, and in addition to this, they have to be careful of all kinds of small animals, such as scorpions or something.

The harsh environment here is really miserable for this group of actors, and it took several days to gradually adapt to the environment here.

After a few days of running-in, Lin Nan was also familiar with this unfamiliar crew, but fortunately, the crew was also very cooperative with Lin Nan, so there was no problem in commanding.

So after a few days of rest, "Journey to the West" officially started filming in Western Studios!

Before the launch of "Journey to the West", Lin Nan did not promote it everywhere as before, but quietly, because now that the war on the Nanshan Literature Network is imminent, he does not want to divert people's attention and steal the limelight of the Nanshan Chinese Network, anyway, "Journey to the West" is still a long time away from the release, and there is an opportunity to promote it, not bad these days.

At the same time as Lin Nan started shooting, Nanshan Chinese Network finally opened a station under the anti-expectation of countless book fans, and at the moment of opening the station, countless book fans and friends poured into the website together, and the huge traffic even almost paralyzed the website server, which made Gao Han can't help but wonder if he should change to a better server.
