Lionsgate had a lot of money on the way to a low-budget horror movie.

"You're supposed to be the first film to be released widely, I remember?"

Wen Ziren asked curiously.

"That's right, it's going to have to be this step."

"Don't worry too much, "Dead Silence" and the Berlin Film Festival have already promoted it for you, and when Lionsgate is released, it will be relatively easy, and I can't guarantee how much the painting will be, but it will definitely not be the kind of treatment that no one cares about."

Lin Nan nodded, indicating understanding.

He didn't expect to make much money outside, with the cost of "Time Cruise", it is unlikely that he will lose money, but coming out and breaking through is also good for future film distribution, isn't it.

"Well, let's talk about "Latent", what are you going to do this time?" Lin Nan changed the subject.

Hearing this, Wen Ziren was obviously excited.

Similar to the cost estimate given by Ling, the company's team set a budget of about 1.5 million dollars, and no more than 180,000 at most.

The filming cycle is expected to be about a month, which is similar to "Dead Silence", or even shorter. ”

Listening to the information reported by Wen Ziren, Lin Nan had to admire Lionsgate's assembly line operation mode, and played the small-budget horror film clearly.

"James, I want to ask you a question?" Lin Nan said suddenly.

"What's the problem?"

"Do you make a foreign film?"

Wen Ziren heard this and laughed.

"Although I've been working for Lionsgate, I'm free, and there's nothing in my contract with Lionsgate that I can't make outside films, and of course competitors can't do it, but I still have the most basic principles."

"Oh, I see."

Lin Nan didn't say anything more, it was enough to know this.

He came here this time mainly to finalize the release, and the rest of the ideas will be implemented in the future.

The news of Lin Nan's appearance in Hollywood appeared in the domestic media seven or eight hours later, especially the dinner scene with Lionsgate's popular fried chicken Wen Ziren.

"Tsk, they are all young directors."

With the box office hits of "Chainsaw 1" and "Dead Silence", Wan Tsai-jen is also regarded as the most profitable director of Lionsgate films.

"It is understood that director Wen Zai-yan will still not direct "Chainsaw 3", but will devote himself to the production of "Latent 1", which will be put into filming soon......"

"The new movie "Latent 1", according to the contract, Nortel director Lin Nan still has 20% of the box office share and DVD revenue share......"

"I don't know if I don't watch the news, he went abroad again, but unfortunately, we can't do such a thing as a horror movie."

Han Sanping was a little sorry, he also knew that this kind of film could make money, but unfortunately it was not allowed in China.

……

Lin Nan visited the post-production center of Xinline for the first time, and nine out of ten of all the world's current big-budget films are inseparable from the Hollywood team.

Even though South Korea is catching up in special effects production, it is still far from Hollywood.

"Lin, with hundreds of special effects artists and technicians, we can make sure that it will be released by the middle of the year."

Lin Nan was a little sour at this time, and these people were all the most lacking film and television technical talents in China, as well as these equipment.

"The 2D version should be fine, right?" Lin Nan asked.

"Of course, the effort was put into the shooting, and the 2D version was done a few days ago, so if you want to see it, it's totally fine."

After thinking about it, Lin Nan still refused, "Forget it, I'll still save my expectations until the release and leave them in the theater." ”

The new line was stunned for a moment, and showed a praising smile, "Yes, stay in the theater, you must watch the 3D version, you don't seem to have many theaters like this over there......"

The latter sentence made Lin Nan very uncomfortable.

"It's not much now, but it's going to increase quickly, and it won't be long before we become the world's largest film market......"

"Oh, we're all looking forward to ......"

When he left the post-production center of the new line, Lin Nan was still a little reluctant, and the post-production special effects team was really eye-catching.

After staying for two days, Lin Nan still had to leave, Tom patted his chest full of fat and muttered.

"Lin, don't worry, the company's affairs will be handed over to me, and I will definitely find the most suitable company in the first half of the year, haha......"

Tom seemed to be a little stunned about this matter, and Lin Nan didn't say anything, just care.

Always collaborates with others in movies, it's okay once or twice, the water in Hollywood is too deep, he is afraid that he will be killed sooner or later if he cooperates with others, so let's do it himself and find someone else for the release.

"Tom, feel free to email me if there's news."

"Okay, Lin."

Lin Nan came in a hurry and returned in a hurry, just because Liu Yifei was urging, and he didn't say what was going on, but it sounded very anxious.

……

Jet lag on the plane is the most trouble-free.

Landing at the airport in the morning, Lin Nan took over the car driven by the employees and went straight to Liu Yifei's side.

Fortunately, it's not Liu Yifei's business.

Shu Zhan nestled pitifully on the sofa, and Liu Yifei on the side comforted her like a big sister.

"What's going on?"

Lin Nan was a little angry, and when he was at the airport just now, he heard his employee mention it, as if Shu was accused.

"If you want to go to school, you can go to school, and if you want to film, you can film. It's good for you, you said you were in school here, and you went to string three plays over there, but you still signed a contract and couldn't make a play. ”

"Woo...... I didn't think it would ......."

Shu Zhan cried as soon as he said it.

"Let's see what she does, my mother has already gone to help ask the lawyer." Liu Yifei said.

After all, it had only been eight days since his eighteenth birthday, and when he heard the defendant, Shu Zhan was decisively frightened.

Lin Nan sat down next to him, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Shu Zhan began to elaborate, the contract signed last year, there was no serious agent to check it, after listening to the layman's words, the family helped sign it, took 20% of the salary, and then began to string dramas and participate in endorsement activities for a month after joining the group, took leave for various reasons, and finally disappeared......

There are still a lot of dramas, "Three Drops of Blood", "Legendary Fantasy Yin Shang", ......

"me, you're a pig's brain? Don't know the spirit of the contract? Do you believe what others say? Doesn't matter? ”

was scolded by Lin Nan for a few words, and couldn't help crying.

"Alright, okay, don't cry." Lin Nan's voice was a little louder, and Shu Zhan held back.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli came back.

"Mom, how's it going?" Liu Yifei was the first to ask.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head, "No way, you will lose, others have contracts."

Lin Nan is back. ”

"Auntie."

Shu Zhan's eyes were red, "Then what should I do now?" ”

"Reconcile, lose money." Lin Nan said.

As soon as these words came out, a few people reacted, and at the beginning they were really concerned about it, and it was nothing more than a matter of money!

"But the summons are here, we don't need to find a lawyer or anything?"

The three women don't know anything about this.

"Settle the plaintiff and there will be nothing left."

What Lin Nan said was affirmative, which made the three of them feel a little more at ease.

"If that's the case, it's easy to do, I'll have someone contact the crew over there, and then it's private." Liu Xiaoli said.

"That needs to be done as soon as possible."

……

Liu Xiaoli turned around and went out to make a phone call.

Looking at Shu Zhan, Lin Nan sorted out his thoughts.

"The one who gave you ideas and acted as a temporary agent, don't contact him in the future, he will only trick you into making money for her.

If any crew is looking for you, you can take it to Sissi, or go to me, don't be like a mallet. ”

Lin Nan's words are a bit heavy, but he completely cares about Shu Zhan, the more popular the actors are in these years, the more they play, Liu Tianwang is the same, but it is disgusting to give Shu Zhan an idea to play and disappear.

Liu Yifei also said, "You just listen to Lin Nan, you don't have a company and no serious agent now, it's easy to be deceived." ”

Shu Zhan, who wanted to cry and endured it, nodded, "I, I will." ”

Not long after, Liu Xiaoli came in, "I asked someone to contact over there, Lin Nan is right, it is nothing more than a matter of compensation, it is the responsibility of advocacy, take the initiative to compensate, don't do this kind of thing in the future." ”

……

In the evening, sure enough, a letter came, and the amount of the lawsuit was 1.5 million.

"Being able to reply to the letter means that there is a willingness to settle, and if the lawsuit drags on for a long time, it is not good for advocacy after all."

"I'll pay for it."

After an afternoon of ideological education, Shu Zhan is much more rational at this time, this kind of thing will always make people grow up.

This figure not only returned the 20% salary, but also posted a lot, but if it is really judged, it is estimated that this figure will also be judged.

The next morning, it was Lin Nan who accompanied Shu Zhan.

Shu Xuan, who made his debut as a child star, has also saved a lot of money over the years.

Witnessed by the lawyer, the two parties handed over the compensation and signed a settlement letter.

"She was not an adult at that time, and she was led astray by outsiders, so she was more tolerant."

It's all come to this point, and there's nothing that can't be said, Lin Nan can only try to help Shu Zhan recover some favorability.

"Director Lin is polite, there will be no follow-up to this matter, it's a complete misunderstanding......"

"Thank you."

……

"Let's have a snack in the future."

On the way back, Lin Nan advised.

"Thank you, Lin Nan."

"Huh?"

"Thank you, brother."

"You don't lose." Lin Nan said with a smile.

The directing department of the film school is very efficient this time, and the results of the graduate student interviews have come out, including six art masters.

Zhao Yanzi became a student of another professor, and she previously revealed to the media that she applied for the exam, and she gave another interview for this result.

"The quota of Tian Dao is full, and it just so happens that my teacher is also willing to support me, so I am lucky to get the place of the Master of Arts, thanks to my mentor, thank my school, and everyone's concern......

Another reason, Zhao Yanzi heard about it, it was Tian Xiangzhi who felt that it was enough to bring Lin Nan a famous director, and it was not appropriate to bring a second star, so she had the operation of changing mentors.

Huang Xiaoming also successfully got the master's degree in the acting department, and also celebrated with Zhao Yanzi.

The reason why Zhao Yanzi changed her mentor, she told Huang Xiaoming.

"That's right, in this group of people in the director department, Director Lin is famous for you, and he is a famous director, if Director Tian accepts you again, it will look too domineering, and the faces of other mentors are not good-looking."

Zhao Yanzi glanced at Huang Xiaoming playfully, she actually didn't believe this reason, the questions asked by a group of mentors were all decent, so she went to Lin Nan and changed the topic of "Wuji", which always felt strange.

"It's all the same, let's not talk about it. By the way, the fake that the crew gave you is almost over, didn't you rush you over there in "New Shanghai Beach"? ”

"No, isn't it like you're idle, talk to you, and I'll go back in two days......"
