Liu Yifei is cooperating with the filming of promotional videos and posters, accompanied by Liu Xiaoli and her assistant.

Lin Nan took the time to take a look, and communicated with the people of the new line for a long time.

They were very grateful to Lin Nan for his original suggestion, which was to prepare an extra 2D version of the proposal.

Judging from the data they have collected during this time, 3D theaters in many countries and regions are indeed not popular.

If you only get on the 3D version of the movie, you will definitely lose a lot of box office.

There are many people in China who pay attention to the new line, China Film and Shanghai Film want political achievements, and Huayi and Wanda Cinemas want this reputation and gimmick.

Among the imported films, "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" has also received the most attention and reports from the media.

Lionsgate chose a good day, and on the last day of March, "Latent" opened, and this time Lin Nan went to the theater here.

"Lin, Lionsgate has always been strong in horror films, with a large audience base, and James is already a well-known horror film director, also highly sought after by fans, the box office of this movie should be no problem......"

Looking at the crowd of people, Tom talked eloquently and said to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan watched it for a while, the main audience is still mostly young people, according to the film classification principle here, "Latent" has viewing restrictions.

Liu Yifei's filming will take more than a week, because she is not the only one in the crew.

Lin Nan waited for the box office data of Lionsgate, and followed Tom to visit those companies.

Most Hollywood film companies, except for a few giants and the first echelon, rarely have companies that support their own directors and crews.

Because there are various guilds there, it is easy to pull up a group of people at any time, but there will be technical teams in various companies in the later stage, and the scale is different.

The best post-production team is in Hollywood, and the best special effects team is also here, and that's what Lin Nan needs.

"More than 200 people are here, and they can't afford it at present."

Lin Nan was the first to eliminate the largest one, with both the number of people and equipment, it seems that he has hit several movies on the street in a row, and the funds can't be taken out in other industries, and the loan is about to expire, and there are too many things.

There are several in a row, more or less because of financial problems to change hands.

Lin Nan finally locked his eyes on a company, which is located in the outskirts of Hollywood, and currently has 32 employees.

On top of that, the company actually has its own three-story western-style building to use as office space.

"Tom, what's going on with this family?"

What does Lin Nan think, how does he feel pleasing to the eye, isn't this the most ideal goal in his mind to borrow chickens and lay eggs? The company is not big, there are equipment and technical manpower!

"Oh, old Bob, I heard that he is doing a good job in the stock market, and he has decided to change his career to finance, and the funds after the company is cashed out will also be used to invest in the stock market......"

"Find someone to check whether this company has debt problems and lawsuits, as well as the property rights of that small building, if it's all right, just ......"

Lin Nan made a decision, and when he said this, he was still a little excited, and the company here was about to get started.

"Okay, Lin, I'll find out as soon as possible, you just wait to appoint me as manager, haha."

Tom was very excited, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, in the past two months of looking for a target for Lin Nan, he was thinking about the scene of others calling him the boss all the time, even if it was an agent.

Lin Nan took Liu Yifei to the cinema, this girl watched "Latent" all the time, she didn't follow the routine at all, her open arms were useless, but her arms were scratched blue, and her fingerprints were clear.

"You should be asked to play Mei Chaofeng."

After coming out, Lin Nan complained.

"He also said that he shouldn't have come if he knew it was so scary."

Liu Yifei said fiercely, puffing out her cheeks.

Lionsgate is going to hold a celebration party, and the opening results in North America have come out, just over 17 million dollars.

This result is really good, more than one million more than at the time of "Dead Silence".

Lin Nan thought of that sentence again, making blockbuster movies does not necessarily make more money than small-budget horror films.

Lionsgate has relied on one horror movie after another to get to where it is now.

But on the other hand, if you want to become bigger and stronger and become a real movie giant, you need to get out of the comfort zone of horror movies, and Lionsgate has indeed succeeded.

Liu Yifei was very unhappy about not being able to go to the Lionsgate celebration with Lin Nan, but she still had work to do.

"Why don't I go talk to them and help you take half a day off?"

Lin Nan said with a smile.

Liu Yifei frowned for a while, "Forget it, I can't do it if I ask for leave to attend the banquet, I have professionalism." ”

"Okay, you're a qualified actor."

Lin Nan did not hesitate to praise, in exchange for a pair of white eyes.

"Latent" has been confirmed to make a lot of money, and the publicity cost is only about two million US dollars, and now it depends on whether its global box office can exceed 100 million.

The Hollywood Daily reported on Lionsgate and Linnan again.

"Following "Dead Silence", Lionsgate once again set a record of being small and broad, and this script still comes from the genius screenwriter, Lin Nan."

"It is reported that "Latent" belongs to the series, and the follow-up script is still in the contract between Lionsgate and Lin Nan......"

……

The news back home is equally encouraging.

"The horror film "Latent" cooperated by director Lin Nan and Lionsgate Films, opened with 17 million knives in North America, and the global performance is expected to exceed 100 million ......"

The already dazzling entertainment news landed a headline and suppressed the hotly promoted "Dragon Tiger Gate".

Wang Zhonglei looked at the news on the portal, a little pantothenic, but at the same time, he also realized that Lin Nan was afraid that he would really have to stand firm over there.

"It's a pity that this kind of movie can't enter the mainland."

Han Sanping regretted again, but this news can give "Time and Space Cruise" a boost.

Lionsgate's dinner party is still full of guests, and Wen Tsairen is the focus of attention, from "Chainsaw" to "Latent", this guy has made Lions Gate a lot of money.

"Director Lin, why did you hide in the corner, I saw a lot of independent filmmakers greeting you?"

After dealing with many guests, Wen Ziren came to Lin Nan's side.

"There are many, just a few." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Looking at the crowd in the distance, Lin Nan beckoned to Wen Ziren, who took two steps forward.

"Director Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Nan took a deep breath, "Director Wen, do you remember what I asked you last time?" ”

Wen Ziren looked suspicious and didn't react, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's about inviting you to make a foreign film." Lin Nan's voice lowered.

I saw that the other party's eyes widened instantly, "Could it be that Director Lin is still going to ask me to make a film?" Hehe. ”

"Yes, there is an idea."

Lin Nan said bluntly.

"No kidding?" Wen asked.

Lin Nan shook his head.

"I still have some horror movie scripts in my hand, but I'm not interested in this, Director Wen has a lot of experience in this area......"

Wen Ziren really didn't think that Lin Nan would tell him such a thing.

"I admire Director Wen's talent, you can set up a studio, and we can invest in ...... together"

Lin Nan added a lot of strength, this was his biggest concession, if Wen Ziren sternly refused, then forget it.

But the difference between working for Lionsgate and working for himself, Lin Nan thought that the other party should know it in his heart.

"How can we invest together, Director Lin in an individual capacity or in a script?"

Wen Ziren paused for a long time before speaking.

"Tom has been helping me buy a company lately." Lin Nan clicked to the end.

"Let me think about it for a while, Director Lin."

Wen Ziren spoke, and there was no trace of emotion in his tone.

Lin Nan and Wen Ziren glanced at each other, "That needs to be done as soon as possible." ”

"Okay."

……

On the way back to the hotel, Lin Nan was still thinking about the conversation he had just had with Wen Ziren.

Will you be in a hurry at this step? But Wen Ziren's attainments in horror movies are really deep, and the conditions he gives are absolutely optimal, and co-investment means being his own boss.

Not long after Lin Nan returned to the hotel, Wen Ziren called, and there was nothing else to say, that is, Lin Nan's company would tell him after it was implemented, and he would seriously consider another matter.

"If you were 50% sure just now, then it's more than 60% at this time."

The next day, Tom came to see Lin Nan.

"Lin, old Bob wants to meet you."

"See me?"

The last time I went to see that company, Lin Nan didn't see Old Bob, and he was greeted by a middle-aged foreigner, who heard that it was the boss's family.

"Then go and meet."

When he came here again, looking at the building in front of him, which was only three floors but very tall, covering an area of seven or eight hundred square meters, Lin Nan liked it more and more.

Entering the building, many people noticed Lin Nan and Tom, they already knew something, and these two were most likely their new bosses.

An old man with gray and curly hair, slightly reddish skin, slightly chubby, about the same height as Tom, this is the owner of this company.

"Sit."

"Hello, Mr. Bob, I'm Lin Nan."

"I know you, you have been on the news in Hollywood recently, and you have made a lot of money for Lionsgate, and I envy you."

is a straightforward person, Lin Nan said in his heart.

"When I was a child, my dream was to open a film company and become a director, but there has been no improvement over the years, I directed a few movies, and I lost money, and finally maintained the company, which is an explanation for myself."

Lin Nan listened to this sixty-year-old man and talked about his deeds over the years.

"Listen to that fat man, you are the best Silver Bear director in Berlin?"

"Yes." Lin Nan replied.

"I really envy you. Still, we have to talk about the price......"

As soon as he spoke, the old man instantly became more energetic.

Lin Nan was fooled and almost thought that this was an old boy with a movie dream, but fortunately, the businessman's side was not hidden.

……

Lin Nan walked out of the film company with an indifferent face and glanced back.

"Tom."

"What's the matter, Lin?"

"I'll leave it to you, focus on protecting those equipment and machines, appease the employees, and the property rights of this building, and find a lawyer to handle ......it as soon as possible."

The price of the seven-figure dollar knife is mainly those equipment and machinery, followed by this property, as long as the staff does not cancel the contract, it is actually the easiest problem.

"Fortunately, there is a return to blood in "Latent", otherwise spending money like this will really delay domestic affairs."

Lin Nan was still planning the expansion of the domestic company, but it turned out to be settled here.
