Chapter 10 Screening, Meeting

"Smack", a stack of newspapers was thrown on the long table of the meeting.

"Can anyone tell me what this is"?

In China Film's office, Yang Dong knocked on the table, and his tone was not good.

Vice Chairman Han pulled the newspaper, and the headline on it was: "Shanghai Film Insight Pearl, Film Academy Freshman Works Sell Big"!

The subtitle is more direct: It is reported that China Film once refused to invest in the film.

The newspapers were read by the high-level people present one by one, and some middle-level people attending the meeting did not dare to say anything.

"How much box office"? Vice Chairman Han asked.

"As of yesterday, it has exceeded 20 million," reported a department manager.

For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was tense again.

"The funny thing is that the newspaper said that China Film refused to invest, but I didn't know at all, Lao Han, do you know? Mr. Jiao? ”

opened his mouth with one hand, but in exchange he shook his head, how could this kind of film come to the eyes of himself and others before it became famous.

But the current situation is that it is indeed famous, and this pot has to be carried without carrying it.

"Who did you see at that time," Yang Dong asked.

Someone got up tremblingly, "Yang Dong, I saw it, but I followed the normal process, it is impossible to give investment, he is just a freshman."

The man was explaining, but to no avail, "You change the guard for a while, and then you will talk about it."

The top leader made a decision lightly, and several high-level officials unanimously agreed.

The middle level of the audience was silent one by one, trying to reduce the sense of presence.

When the time came to the twelfth, Lin Nan also learned that the box office broke 20 million.

The evaluation of the outside world is that it is both sides, and the audience thinks the plot is very good, and it is the first time to see this kind of storyline, which is very good.

But most of what the media released was the remarks of film critics.

"The whole is immature and needs to be improved", this is a more pertinent evaluation.

It's okay to be a little disparaged, "open ending, pretend to be smart", "eighteen or nineteen years old knows what marriage is, it's unrealistic".

What's more, it has risen to three views and careers, can't you make anything other than romance movies? This is the student and the actor today?

As time went on, the box office of the movie became higher and higher, and the increase became less and less.

Shangying has been much more positive these days, they have fought a good battle, and they are very enthusiastic about Lin Nan.

and promised that if Lin Nan has a new film plan in the future, they are willing to continue to invest and make profits.

Lin Nan was a little moved, but he still said that he would talk about it after the film was released, and the deep meaning was that he would wait until he got the dividends.

Liu Yifei called Lin Nan to congratulate him on the success of his movie and complained that her mother had lost her heroine.

Lin Nan was threatened by the phone, and next time she will definitely find her to play the heroine.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Nan went to find the old class with a smile on his face.

"Mom, my female number one", Liu Yifei sat on the sofa and began to think about it, while Liu's mother was helping her sort out her clothes.

"Okay, okay, next time let your godfather find you a better movie crew, that small crew will miss it, what if the box office exceeds 20 million, you are going to make a big director movie."

Mother Liu didn't even look at her daughter, and her tone was normal.

"Mom, don't say that about Lin Nan".

Seeing her daughter's angry appearance, Liu's mother stopped talking.

"Teacher, it's still the same thing."

"Changing majors"?

"Right".

"Why do you have to turn around, aren't we good at acting? There are only a few directors in your class."

Although Mr. Zhou was impatient, he still took out a few pages from the drawer and said, "Fill it out and give it to me."

Lin Nan took it, and it was an application for changing majors, "good teacher".

"You are now also the male lead, producer and director of 20 million box office movies, and you are a little famous all over the country, don't be a hippie smiling face for a day."

"Teacher, maybe it will be 30 million by the end of the month", Lin Nan said.

The process of changing majors was unexpectedly fast, and the school approved it on the same day.

When Lin Nan took the stamped document to the office of the directing department, these teachers seemed to already know.

In fact, the teachers' offices are not far away, a matter of a few steps.

"In the future, you will be a member of our directing department, you don't have to move the dormitory, just follow the directing department for class or something."

Lin Nan left after completing the formalities.

Originally, there were only thirteen students in the 02-level director department, six undergraduates, seven Jialinnan, two chief teachers, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Jiang. The remaining seven are undergraduates of the national pei, and the faculty members are others.

This year, the faculty has increased greatly, and director Tian Zhuangzhuang has also returned to teach in the directing department.

"Lao Zhang and Lao Jiang, now the strength of your 02-level director department has increased greatly", a group of teachers laughed in the office, making fun of the two.

"You did a good job, and you rebelled in a blink of an eye", Zhu Yawen sneered.

"I've made two movies, maybe the director is more suitable for me, just sit there and shout," Lin Nan said with a smile.

Zhu Yawen changed her face, "Director Lin, Director Lin, for the sake of our daily relationship, don't forget me if there is a drama in the future, I can wash it clean", he said and took Lin Nan's right hand with both hands.

"Disgusting, get out of here".

"Haha, remember to leave me a role", Zhu Yawen didn't bother Lin Nan to sort out the books, the latter just brought back the director's book.

The name of Lin Nan, a newcomer to Beiying, is remembered by audiences across the country together with the movie "Warm and Bright".

Especially I don't know who actually told Lin Nan about changing his major and saw the newspaper.

Now those who sarcastically mocked Lin Nan's cross-line line shut up, and others really went to the director's business.

Time came to the 25th, and the box office finally crossed the threshold of 30 million.

Shangying decided to hold a celebration banquet, which is a huge achievement, reputation is earned, money is earned. The most important thing is that there is something written in the leader's report.

was very generous before the film, and when he invested as a producer, he did not fight for the copyright of the film with Lin Nan, and most likely he didn't expect it to become like this, so the copyright of "Warm and Warm with Light" is still in the hands of the latter.

At this time, the box office exceeded 30 million, and the matter of copyright was raised.

Because it involves exports, this is a big profit, and Lin Nan, who holds all the copyrights, has become a fragrant dumpling.

What he said on the phone was very subtle, but Lin Nan could hear what it meant, Shangying wanted to get a piece of the copyright, and a film company found them, and the film and copyright were both interested.

Lin Nan didn't know how to reply for a while, so he simply dragged it out and said that he would wait a few more days.

With the movie being released for so long, Lin Nan's name has gradually become known to people in the circle, especially his investment proportion and right to speak in "Warm and Warm Light", which should be known.

"If you want to concentrate on making movies in the future, becoming a director, and investing in films, in fact, I suggest that you can change the studio into a company and recruit some people, which can be less but must be complete."

This is the teacher's advice to Lin Nan. Lin Nan came down and found the original intermediary, and the name was changed slightly: Lin Nan Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.

There are two modes of film exports, either direct one-time settlement, and then how much profit there is is a matter for the film company and the theater chain.

Either find a foreign distributor to distribute and divide the box office according to the proportion of the contract.

Imported films are roughly the same.

Lin Nan didn't want to trouble, and he was also self-aware, he wanted to choose the first one and get the money at once.

It's the end of the month, and the box office can't run, and finally stumbling to 31 million, and it's going to be released.

At this time, you can't drag Shangying anymore, hearing what Lin Nan meant, Shangying gave an option.

Lin Nan packaged and sold the film copyright to them, and as for everything that followed, it had nothing to do with him, whether it was a loss or a loss.

Shanghai Film accounts for 65% of the investment, and exports are to share the profits, but copyright is related to remakes and adaptations, and the film company wants to do it all at once.

Lin Nan accepted the option given by Shangying.

In terms of exports, 35% of the investment proportion, and the complete copyright, together, Shangying gave Lin Nan 8 million, after tax.

Lin Nan is very satisfied with this price, he is a newcomer, no one can say for sure whether this movie can be eaten in Southeast Asia.

"Box office accounting, we will supervise the theater chain and above, and we will also handle the taxes that should be paid, and the final account will be directly hit on your company's account."

Thank you to "Hero", thank you to Director Zhang and Producer Zhang.

It is their credit that allows the theater chain to increase the producer's share from 40% to 43%.

Lin Nan estimated slightly, excluding the special business tax and the special fund for the development of the film industry, and finally divided it into them.

Probably he can get about 4.3 million.

"I knew that I should insert some advertisements into it at that time, and this would not be paid for by the theater."

Lin Nan regretted that he didn't advertise at that time, but after thinking about it, it is estimated that no business is willing to advertise with him.

But next time, you can pay attention to this matter.

The company is still an empty shell, and the financial accounting must be in place first, otherwise some of them will be busy after dividing the accounts.

This month, Lin Nan can be regarded as having a star addiction, and there are many people who greet him in school, many of whom are not very familiar.

"There's no plan for the next step, is there? It's good if you don't have it, and go to class for a few days with peace of mind", this is what the teacher of the directing department said to him.

The main meaning may be to let him stabilize his mind and not float.

A few days later, the teacher found Lin Nan with someone he didn't know.

"Let me go to the symposium? Is it appropriate? ”

Sure enough, as long as you get results, you will inevitably be pulled to make up the numbers.

More than a year after joining the WTO, the cultural industry has borne the brunt.

Lin Nan is a newcomer, sitting in the back trembling, looking at the people above, they are all leaders, either the General Administration or the leaders of other cultural and tourism departments.

In the front row are the leaders of the Television Association and the Film Association, followed by well-known directors, well-known actors, and editors.

As a fledgling newcomer, Lin Nan was in the last few rows, holding a pen and making a appearance, and he just listened to what was said on it.

"The film and television industry is the most intuitive, and I hope you will pay attention to this. You are all directors, actors, screenwriters, etc., you are professionals. I hope you can come up with good works, drive the market, meet challenges, and still go out ......"

Hollywood is coming in, coming in with a knife, everyone can see the result, and the dimensionality reduction strikes.

Several big directors have spoken, Director Zhang is very objective, thinking that this is a catastrophic problem, which will impact or even crush today's domestic film and television industry, but it is also an opportunity to force us to progress.
