Chapter Ninety-Nine: ShowBox
"I guess he'll be able to speak, how can a young man hold back his anger, but it's quite old-fashioned."
Wang Zhongjun looked at Sina Toutiao and said.
"Yahoo's idea, the directors who receive the invitation this time will be borrowed a wave of popularity." Mr. Xiao Wang explained.
"But we still have to learn a lesson, we will also sign the people selected this time, don't be like Mango Tianyu, the artists who came out of the draft will make trouble to terminate the contract."
Wang Zhongjun said with a cold face.
"This one definitely won't. However, Mango Tianyu is indeed unlucky, the people who have worked hard to come out will be terminated at this time, and the most serious thing is not this, but someone has taken the lead, and other people will have ideas in their hearts. ”
Wang Zhonglei analyzed.
……
Lin Nan needs to be cautious about the release of "Time and Space Cruise".
At the original time, it was also called "Horror Cruise", and the reputation was very good, and the rigorous logical conception and plot advancement made it win high praise.
Although it was introduced and did not set off much box office in China, there were still some repercussions outside.
This time, Lin Nan revised the script, locked the sci-fi setting, and released it in multiple regions again, hoping to get a satisfactory box office result.
"The people from South Korea are coming, you are the director and the main prosecution of the movie, and they want to see you by name."
Lin Nan was called to Zhongying by Han Sanping again.
"Which one?"
"ShowBox contacted us first, but then news came from Xijie's side."
Han Sanping's fingers tapped the desktop, and the wind was light.
This made Lin Nan a little surprised, originally he thought that there would be one at most, but he didn't expect that both would come.
"Come on, come on, it's actually a good thing for us to have competition."
Lin Nan knows the national situation over there, almost all walks of life are big groups, and if you only cooperate with one family, it is inevitable that you will be targeted or coerced.
"Are you interested in choosing ShowBox?"
Han Sanping already had an idea when he heard what Lin Nan meant.
"Mr. Han, don't pretend to be confused, they have competition, and we have the initiative, okay, it's not that you don't know this reason." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Hehe, knowing is knowing, but after all, is you the person who talks about the movie?"
Lin Nan was thinking about something else at this time, the release of "Time and Space Cruise" could cooperate with ShowBox, but he could also cooperate with Xijie on other things, such as movies.
"Stick movies, don't take them for nothing." Lin Nan suddenly had this idea.
In fact, the film market in South Korea is really strange, and many extreme themes can be filmed, which is very enviable.
"Okay, when they come, I'll go with you to meet them." Lin Nan said.
Out of Han Sanping's office, Lin Nan went to the later stage as usual.
At this time, everyone is talking about "Geisha", which has been released in North America for almost a month, and the box office results are very average.
In this way, Zhang Ziyi is still optimistic that she is one of the strong contenders for the actress, which is very strange, is it based on Rob Marshall's sentence: She will be the next target to be chased by the whole world?
"I'm optimistic that Zhang Ziyi will win the queen."
"Gong Li's best supporting actress is also very popular."
"Director Lin, who do you think has a higher chance?"
Lin Nan walked in and was asked.
"If you want to win the Oscar, pass the Theron level first."
Lin Nan said with a smile, no one can ignore Charlize Theron.
"Theron? It seems that yes, she is the actress of 04, and she has her this year. ”
"Then Director Lin is optimistic about her?" A group of people wondered.
"Which one do I think will work?" Lin Nan complained.
"Director Lin, when we cut "Time and Space Cruise", we found that it can also be made into a horror movie, and it will be another movie with a slight change, and it will be absolutely wonderful."
Someone excitedly told Lin Nan about it.
"Then this movie is still not available?" Lin Nan said angrily.
"yes, haha."
……
SHOWBOX arrived at China Film on the 4th, and Lin Nan was still asleep when he was woken up by the phone.
Han Sanping's secretary told Lin Nan that the representative of SB had arrived, and there was a high-level person.
"Okay, you tell Mr. Han, I will pass on time."
Last night, Lin Nan watched TV, CCTV's "Wulin Gaiden", and felt like a dream, and by the way, he made some contributions to its ratings.
Listening to the meaning of Han Sanping's secretary, the people from the Korean side first went to Zhongying and met Han Sanping, and then they put forward the serious matter, Lin Nan is an important part.
In the field of film and television, South Korea's promotion can be said to have spared no effort, since last year's "Dae Jang Geum", many domestic practitioners have begun to worry about the impact of the invasion of Hallyu.
If it is said that the domestic film goes to sea, it is longed for and regarded as honor and political achievement.
South Korea is pathological, hysterical, suppressed by the United States on the one hand, and eager to enter there, to be recognized, and even to try to compete.
Lin Nan once heard netizens say that there are only two kinds of aesthetics in this world that cannot be wrong, the coal boss and the South Korean chaebol.
Film companies are generally at the top of the film and television entertainment industry, and companies like Showbox and Xijie are even more prominent in the environment of national entertainment in South Korea.
After washing, Lin Nan drove out of the school, attracting a lot of attention.
Lionsgate has already replied to Lin Nan's news, they can accept the movie release, and they also joked that friendship will only make them work harder during the release, and the remuneration should not be less.
A luxury convoy passed past Lin Nan's Mercedes-Benz, with a Ferrari trot in the lead, a BMW X5 camera car, and dozens of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars of the same color.
When waiting for the red light, Lin Nan heard several car owners next to him talking about the marriage of the family of the big star Zhang Ziyi.
"I thought Zhang Ziyi would get married." Lin Nan muttered.
Lin Nan guessed who it was, and they all said that a person who had attained the Tao of the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and it was very applicable to Zhang Ziyi, her brother was currently her agent, Lin Nan had seen it once, and he was angry.
China Film has a department dedicated to entertaining guests, and after the showbox people came, they went straight to the point, so Han Sanping asked people to contact Lin Nan, otherwise there should be a commercial pull, at least for a day or two.
When he arrived at Zhongying, someone had been waiting for Lin Nan for a long time.
"Director Lin, Mr. Han, they are in the banquet hall, you come with me."
"Okay, thanks."
The auditorium-style banquet hall is solemn, and there are only Han Sanping and the secretary in the huge place, and there are three people from the Korean side, two men and one woman, all of whom are about forty years old.
"Lin Nan, come. Let me introduce to you, this is director Lin Nan, and they are a Korean film company. ”
Han Sanping saw Lin Nan come in, got up and introduced.
"Director Lin Nan, long admiration." A man who looked like a head in South Korea greeted.
Do you still speak Mandarin?
Lin Nan's first reaction was this.
"Hello." There must be etiquette.
……
Lin Nan never thought that the other party would deliberately come to China for the release of a movie.
And that's exactly what happened.
The person in charge of SB has found a lot of topics, and only half of the distribution is the matter, and the rest is the cooperation between Lin Nan and Lionsgate and New Line.
They hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Lin Nan in the future, to be precise, Lin Nan's future Hollywood movies.
Lin Nan saw that Han Sanping's face was iron blue, very gloomy.
Backed by the parent group, SB has been actively expanding its cinema business in South Korea, which is of great help to the film schedule, which is why they dare to argue with Xijie, after all, they have not been established for a few years, and they are much later than Xijie in the film and television business.
From the moment they explained their other intentions, Han Sanping didn't have a good face.
Han Sanping's unhappiness did not affect the result of the cooperation, and Lin Nan handed over the release of "Time and Space Cruise" in South Korea to SB.
"Director Lin, please rest assured, when the time comes, we will make the distribution of your film as perfect as possible and lay a good foundation for our future cooperation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Korea, and we will provide you with a warm welcome to make you feel at home......"
Lin Nan was very curious, how did they entertain the hospitality they said, and find a few actresses to entertain themselves?
Things were done quickly, and after the reporter took a group photo, the people of SB successfully completed the mission to China.
Negotiated at noon, followed the people of China Film to visit the Beijing Film Studio in the afternoon, and the people of SB took the plane back in the evening, and the distance was convenient.
"His uncle, these grandsons are digging the foot of the wall in front of me......"
Lin Nan sat in Han Sanping's office and watched him scold here for a while.
"Hahaha, I said Mr. Han, if you don't want to take a break, it's almost twenty minutes......"
Lin Nan really couldn't help but want to laugh, he felt very good that he had this kind of capital that was begged for cooperation, anyway, he listened to the words of the person in charge of the showbox.
Han Sanping sat there and glanced at Lin Nan.
"People in South Korea also want to eat fart, so they come to us to find food, wishful thinking......"
With a sigh of relief, Han Sanping's voice was not so loud this time.
"You're not really thinking about working with them, are you?"
Han Sanping looked at Lin Nan, who was smiling, and asked.
"I've only been working with Lionsgate for a short time, and I'm still trembling and crossing the river by feeling the stones, how can I bother with those sticks." Lin Nan said bluntly.
After hearing Lin Nan's words, Han Sanping became much more comfortable.
"Yinghuang hasn't looked for you yet?"
"No, if it's a matter of distribution, Mr. Han, you can leave it to them, and it's not the case of Xijie and SB, nor the situation of Lionsgate, just be the master of the domestic film."
Lin Nan expressed his attitude.
The mobile phone on Han Sanping's desk rang at an inopportune time.
Those who can make a private call to come in definitely have a bit of identity.
“…… It's time for you to make this call, he's been on the group's side today, the South Korean film company has just left for less than two hours, okay, old place, I'll ...... with him."
Continuing the phone, Han Sanping glanced at Lin Nan, who had a hunch and what kind of entertainment it was.
After hanging up the phone, Han Sanping said to Lin Nan: "Yinghuang's Yang Shoucheng has come to Beijing, tonight's banquet, one is to visit Jiang Wen, and the other is the release of "Time and Space Cruise". ”
"I really don't have to say it, but I'll come as soon as I say it." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"By the way, Jiang Wen is also here, you will know each other when the time comes."
Hearing Jiang Wen's name, Lin Nan was a little moved, there are not many directors of Chinese opera, this is a representative figure, especially his temper.
Thinking of Lu Chuan again, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are very interesting.
