Chapter Fifty-Nine: News Flies

The media, which has a wide range of powers, is reporting the news of suspected contradictions within Huayi, pointing directly at the top.

But soon this grapevine news will be gone.

Many people who saw it didn't take it seriously, and some people noticed this matter, and they passed it quietly, without even making a statement.

A message from across the ocean was pinned to the top of the portal.

Hollywood New Line Films recently announced a new film plan, which will work with the famous director and screenwriter Lin Nan to collaborate on the 3D sci-fi adventure film "Adventure in the Center of the Earth".

The latter participated in the production as a screenwriter and investor, and the initial budget of the film reached 60 million US dollars, and Lin Nan held a 30% investment ratio of ......"

"Dead Silence" allowed Lin Nan to successfully open the door to Hollywood. The new line is the second Hollywood film company to throw an olive branch to Lin Nan after Lionsgate......"

Lionsgate director Wen Tsai-jen said in an interview that he was looking forward to Lin Nan and New Line's new film, who is the director of the hit horror movie "Dead Silence".

The domestic film and television industry was dazzled by this news, and for a while, other entertainment gossip was suppressed.

Those who know and don't know are all contacting Lin Nan.

Through the existing news, you can easily calculate the investment share owned by Lin Nan, which is 18 million US dollars.

The film companies were the most enthusiastic, and they asked Lin Nan about the authenticity of this matter, although the news of the new line could not be fake, but everyone was looking forward to getting the exact news from Lin Nan's mouth.

successively answered the phone calls from Guangguang, Wanda Ye Ning, Xiying and other companies, and was ridiculed by Ning Hao for a long time, Lin Nan finally accepted a telephone interview with the reporter directly, bluntly saying that this is the real thing.

Soon, the news was updated.

"The reporter from this site got the exact news from Director Lin Nan, and it is true that he has cooperated with New Line Films in the new film "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", and the investment amount is true."

Now everyone is really not calm, they are all speculating whether Lin Nan has the right to cast, the investment amount of thirty percent, it stands to reason that it is impossible to have no say in casting, Lin Nan is still a screenwriter, and Hollywood screenwriters are not so weak in China.

The clever media has already gone to the original novel, or dragged the people over there to inquire about the adapted script.

There are three protagonists, two uncles and nephews, plus a female guide role, and an investment of 60 million US dollars, and the protagonists are basically these three.

At this moment, a large number of brokerage companies began to look for Lin Nan, and even Zhang Ziyi's agent was found, Lin Nan was still curious, wasn't she preparing for "Night Banquet"? Such a big appetite!

For the people who inquired about the casting, Lin Nan didn't see it, didn't say anything, and the few people who knew it wouldn't reveal it.

China Film took the lead and announced that it had received an investment of four million US dollars from Lin Nan, which added another fire to this matter.

Shangying followed closely behind, and also disclosed the investment amount, which was four million like Zhongying.

The addition of two leading state-owned enterprises in the film and television industry really made this matter a sure fact.

Only then did the group react that Lin Nan, Zhongying and Shangying had already reached an agreement, and it was just announced at this time.

"There are still some shares, which have not been finalized, about six million......"

These are the words that Lin Nan asked people to hand out.

"Big brother, I'll contact Lin Nan, we need this investment to stabilize the next situation. Wang Jinghua has already made up her mind to leave......"

"Okay, you can go, but he can't let go easily, we have to be prepared for a premium."

"I understand."

……

Lu Zheng looked at the news in his hand and moved, but he still held back.

"If he has the right to decide this female character, we can help you buy it, but unfortunately there is no definite news."

A Hollywood science fiction film with a cost of 60 million US dollars, its heroine is also fragrant even in Hollywood, let alone in China.

If Lin Nan revealed that he could decide the ownership of this female character, then the actress who found him could drown him, and he had no doubt about the madness of these domestic actresses.

Jing Tian is holding a book in his hand, which is not thick, it is the original novel of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth".

"But Director Lin Nan didn't make it clear that he didn't have the right to say in casting." Jing Tian whispered.

"Looks like you enjoyed the movie."

Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"Looking at the movements of the new line and Lin Nan, they should be sure of the profitability of this movie, since they are sure of making a profit, they will choose a lot of partners, I will ask someone to inquire."

"Okay, Uncle Lu."

Choosing to enter the film and television industry was Jing Tian's own idea and wish since he was a child, so his family asked Lu Zheng to help him.

The first step was to release the EP first, and invited the producer of the princess to help her make the lyrics and songs, and the title song MV even found the new director Ning Hao.

And this is just a stepping stone to the industry, it would be best if you could directly participate in the movie.

But at present, there is no chance to enter the crew of a big director, but the crew on Hong Kong Island can smash it into it if they have money.

Although Jing Tian is not very old, he still wants to join a serious big crew, not the "Python Horror" in his hand.

On the other side, Liu's mother was also asking Liu Yifei, "Lin Nan came to be a guest that day, didn't I talk to you about the movie?" ”

Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan shook their heads, "I didn't say this that day." ”

Liu's mother was a little regretful, "This is a Hollywood movie, if only he could call the shots." ”

Liu Yifei felt that her mother had taken it for granted again.

"Why don't we go and ask him?"

Shu Chang proposed.

"Don't do it, if you want to say it, he'll say it."

Liu Yifei disagreed with Shu's proposal.

Lin Nan received a call from Wang Zhonglei, first after a communicative scene, and finally clarified his intentions, hoping to get part of the remaining share in Lin Nan's hands.

Lin Nan didn't agree directly, but told him that he could take time to come to the interview, just with other companies.

did not lie to Mr. Wang, Lin Nan also received the intention of other companies, including his old friend Guangguang and Wanda, which is expanding the scale of the theater chain.

To be honest, with Huayi, these three are indeed private enterprises that Lin Nan can cooperate with ideally.

Although Wanda has not yet set foot in the upstream industry, its intention is obvious, as can be seen from asking Lin Nan for a share.

An unexpected guest visited Lin Nan, Yinghuang's people.

"Lin Sheng, meet again."

This is the second time Lin Nan has met this Yinghuang artist director.

"Ms. Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what to do when I come here this time? Director Jiang Wen didn't hear that the progress was not going well. ”

Lin Nan invited Huo Wenxi into the office.

"Lin Sheng, don't pretend to be confused, you can definitely guess the purpose of my visit this time."

Huo Wenxi sat opposite Lin Nan in an urban beauty costume and talked eloquently.

Lin Nan stopped pretending, "Ms. Huo came early, and when the time comes, the few families will sit down together, and then let's talk about it." ”

"Lin Sheng, what are the others? In my opinion, whether it is money, artists or status, Yinghuang is the most suitable choice for you. ”

"Hong Kong Island is too small, my basic market is in the mainland, and the future will also belong to the mainland market......"

Huo Wenxi didn't expect Lin Nan to say it so directly.

"Since Miss Huo is coming to Beijing, let's stay for two more days, and when the time comes, how about I inform you?"

Huo Wenxi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll wait for Lin Sheng's call, and I'll just go to visit Director Jiang Wen's class again."

"No problem."

……

In 20 days, "Hidden in the Dust" came to an end, and the box office received 10.8 million.

The news, which had been missing for a few days, popped up again, and this time the gossip reporters didn't know where to get the exact news.

bluntly said that Wang Jinghua had a falling out with the Huayi brothers, and would lead its artists to leave Huayi Economic Company, and even the suspected job-hopping targets were reported.

Unlike the last vague and general news, this time it directly named individuals, and it was specific to the event.

Everyone in the circle knows that Huayi is the leader in private film and television companies.

It has established its status not only with a prolific director like Feng Xiaogang, but also with a huge group of artists and stars, among which there are many big names and countless powerful actors.

The revenue of artist brokerage has always occupied a non-negligible weight in the profit composition of Huayi, and everyone in the circle is happy to watch the excitement.

Regarding this matter, the reply given by Huayi Brothers Film and Television Media is nothing.

On the other side, Wang Jinghua's reply was that she was on a business trip and would talk about it when she returned to Beijing.

Orange Sky, who is suspected of taking over the company, is also unclear.

The news outside was flying all over the sky, and Lin Nan waited for people from four companies in his company.

Huo Wenxi of Yinghuang, President Wang of Huayi, Vice President of Guangguang, and executives of Wanda Cinema Line.

"First of all, I have to explain to the four of you that I only have six million shares left in my hand, and Zhongying, Shangying and my side are all four million.

The six million can't be given to only one party, and the partners can't be too many, so I plan to divide the two families, and the one with the highest price will get it. ”

Lin Nan got straight to the point and explained the meaning directly. Looking at the expressions of several people, they are all mentally prepared in advance.

China Film and Shanghai Film have a background and power, and they can endorse the import and distribution of foreign films, so they are the shares they get at a low price, but these few companies are definitely not good.

The premium is already inevitable, but the four of them didn't expect that Lin Nan only had two, that is, the investment share of three million US dollars each of the two companies.

At the beginning, Lin Nan had a rough idea in his heart, and the result was completely in line with his expectations.

Although Guangguang is developing towards the film business, its main business is still in the variety show and TV business.

Lin Nan has a good relationship with Guangguang, but their hard power is really not good, and they are the first to quit.

"Say hello to Mr. Wang for me."

"I will, Director Lin."

Ying Huang was greedy for this opportunity to go directly to Hollywood, but the style of Hong Kong Islanders made Huo Wenxi inferior to Wanda and Huayi in terms of quotations, and the second one withdrew.

"Miss Huo, let's cooperate again next time." Lin Nan said.

"It's okay, there will be a chance in the future, Yinghuang is looking forward to cooperating with Director Lin."

Huo Wenxi also left early.

Huayi and Wanda each received 3 million investments, but they spent 4.2 million yuan.

"Director Lin, please keep this matter secret for a while, and then I will announce it here."

Wang Zhonglei said.

"This is no problem, I believe that the light and Miss Huo will not take the initiative to reveal it."

"We're definitely in our own business."

Wanda's executives sold their favors.

Wang Zhonglei went out satisfied.

"Director Lin, there's something I want to ask."

Wanda's man spoke.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Nan still has to give face to his partners.

"You really didn't get a role in this movie? For example, the heroine. ”

Lin Nan hesitated.

"She's not part of what we're working with."

The other party seemed to understand what Lin Nan meant.

"I understand, thank you Director Lin."
