Chapter 210: Invest in Lu Yang, Pony
"Ip Man" is in the Lunar New Year file, and after all, it is not the opponent of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
After the box office stumbled to 120 million, it completely turned off and announced the release.
On the other hand, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", broke 100 million in five days, and made great progress all the way......
Ying Huang is already very satisfied with this, for a long time before, the movies he made were not as profitable as this one.
"Director Lin, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and prepare for a sequel, right?" Yang Shoucheng said on the phone.
"With the first part to lay the foundation, the sequel will bring its own fans and fans.
The quality of your filming and production cannot be worse than the first one. Lin Nan advised.
That's what Yang Shoucheng wants.
"Director Lin rest assured, the sequel will be better than the first one in terms of team and production, what about the script?"
"Let your people go to my company to get it, I've already arranged it."
A few hours later, Yinghuang announced to the outside world plans for a sequel to "Ip Man".
"Still can't get through on the phone?" Donnie asked his agent.
"Mani's side has been busy, and it stands to reason that a sequel will be opened, so he should be the first to find us, after all, you are the protagonist......"
When the agent said this, he was also a little weak.
Even if it is a series, it is common to change the protagonist.
Donnie Yen frowned, he had just stepped into the ranks of A-list stars with one foot, and the sequel was important to him.
"Let's go to Yang Dong in person and take a soft soften?"
Donnie Yen went to see Lin Nan first, and he was indeed reckless.
I've been beaten intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days, and I'm also beating it now.
"Well, let's go now." Donnie Yen nodded and said.
…………
The huge film and television industry, divided by schools, the Nortel circle is definitely a big mountain.
Since the news came out that Lin Nan was willing to invest in Cao Baoping after the last time "Li Mi's Conjecture" lost money, the teachers in the academy looked at him more complicated.
Today, Lao Jiang came to Lin Nan and talked about investment.
"Director Jiang, don't you want to make a movie too?"
"Me? I didn't think about it for a while.
It's you a senior, a graduate student of the 04 directing department, who is older than you, and when you come back to find investment, they think of you. ”
"How many movies have you made? What are your masterpieces? ”
If it were a senior film and television practitioner like Cao Baoping, Lin Nan wouldn't ask about it, but the students who had just graduated would have to ask.
"I've never made a movie, this is the first one.
He has been working as an executive director and assistant director after graduation, and if you look at it twice, it can be regarded as giving face to other professors, but if it doesn't work, you will refuse. ”
Old Jiang looked like he was coping with an errand.
Lin Nan doesn't care, just pan for gold, maybe he can find something good.
When Lao Jiang brought people to the editing room, Lin Nan was stunned.
Lu Yang, who graduated with a master's degree in 07, is five years older than Lin Nan, and he looks really ordinary.
"Director Lin, I remember what you said at the graduation ceremony, haha." The visitor was smiling and greeting.
At the beginning, Lin Nan's graduation speech had a promise to invest in the films of the students of the directing department.
As long as the script is okay and his own strength is not too bad, he will consider it.
"Just remember, with the script?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"Definitely with it, give it.
I was going to continue saving money as an assistant director, but it was too slow, and I don't know when it will be the first ......"
Lin Nan took over the script, which is a literary and artistic drama. Well, this kind of is generally very cost-effective.
"Cinema for the Blind?"
"Yes, I wrote my own script." Lu Yang's tone was confident.
Lin Nan quickly flipped through the script, the story is very simple, suitable for the way of the film festival, selling copyrights.
"Is the actor interested?"
Lin Nan didn't look up and asked.
"Teacher Wang Jinsong promised to give me a schedule......"
This sentence attracted Lin Nan's attention, and yes, that person was very willing to support the students of this school.
Soon after, Lu Yang left the academy.
Old Jiang ran over curiously, "You voted?" ”
"Voted."
"How much."
"Two million."
Originally, Lu Yang's budget was 2.5 million, but Lin Nan gave 2.6 million and asked him to go to the company to find Yue Jun to sign a contract.
Old ginger gave a thumbs up. "Okay, your reputation is out."
…………
The news first spread in the school and then was reported by the media.
This is the second Nortel student invested by Lin Nan, from the directing department.
The first is Ning Hao, who is now a well-known director.
"In terms of supporting new directors, Lin Nan has done a better job than many large companies."
Many companies went to inquire about the news, and after knowing that it was a literary film of more than 2 million, they lost interest in an instant.
Everyone thought it would be another "Stone".
After the release of "Ip Man", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" has truly become a dominant company, with a daily box office stable of nearly 17 million, and Huayi is already preparing for the celebration party later.
Yinghuang headquarters.
Donnie Yen and his agent have been waiting for a long time.
But the feedback I got was that Yang Shoucheng was in a meeting, and the people who attended the meeting were the director and production team of "Ip Man".
"Sister Mani, Zidan is really sincere, and I didn't think too much about it in the capital at that time......"
The agent was smiling in front of Huo Wenxi.
"There are some things that are about rules."
"Sister Mani is right. And what about the sequel? ”
"Wait a while, Yang Dong, they will meet you after the meeting."
Huo Wenxi is very satisfied with the attitude of Donnie Yen's team, after all, the original team is definitely the best choice.
After a while, I saw Ye Weixin and others coming down by elevator.
"Ye Dao."
Donnie Yen walked over with a smile on his face.
"According to the plan, if you start work after the year, if you change someone to act, everyone will have a headache, you have a good talk with Yang Dong."
Saying that, Ye Weixin patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder.
In his opinion, Yang Shoucheng will not be replaced, but he is still a little angry in his heart.
"I will, thank you Director Ye."
"You're welcome."
With "Ip Man", Ye Weixin was successfully promoted to a director of 100 million yuan, and he has been in a very good mood recently.
An hour later, Donnie Yen walked out of Yang Shoucheng's office with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until he left the Yinghuang Building and got into the car that his face instantly became gloomy.
"Drive."
"How? No problem with a sequel, right? The agent asked hurriedly.
"No problem, but the salary won't go up."
"Or three million?! That's too low, isn't it? ”
Donnie Yen had a cold face and did not speak.
When he stood firm......
——
On the 22nd, the scene of the starry TV series press conference.
First- and second-tier celebrities and media have come a lot.
Huang Xiaoming, Zeng Li, Hu Jun, etc., are all actors in "The Martian", and they can be regarded as acquaintances.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao were at the scene and only stayed for an hour.
As a favor, it was enough to show their heads, and Lu Zheng personally sent the two out.
"The Hunt was cut in the end?"
"Almost, just these two days."
Ning Hao is now only waiting for "Racing" to be released, and then he can concentrate on filming "No Man's Land".
"Two days ago, a company came to me and wanted to sign the right of first refusal for my later films." Ning Hao began to show off again.
"Agreed?" Lin Nan gave a face-saving sentence.
"Haha, I would have said yes before, but not now. In the future, it will be a cooperative choice at most. ”
Ning Hao's words are reasonable, now he is famous and powerful, he can do his own projects, and he doesn't need to work for others.
Lin Nan was quite curious, which company it was.
"Which one? I have the confidence to ask you for the right of first refusal. ”
"It's a company that mainly does TV dramas, and ponies are galloping.
They wanted to officially enter the film industry next year, and they threw an olive branch to see my bad monkey and small family.
Their vice president is quite able to speak, she is a strong woman. ”
Ning Hao recalled.
Lin Nan had the impression that at the beginning of the year, the company raised $40 million, which shocked the entire film and television industry.
You must know that even Huayi has raised several rounds, but none of them can compare to the amount of Xiaoma's first round of financing.
After financing so much money, he must be in the film industry.
After separating from Ning Hao, Lin Nan returned to the company.
"Latent" has been on the air for several days.
"According to the data from the TV station, the average rating these days is 4.9%, and the highest rating is 7%......"
Yue Jun excitedly reported the data.
Obviously, this TV series is popular, not inferior to the previous "Soldier Assault" and "Regiment Commander".
Not long after, Yue Jun said another thing, "There is something wrong with the potato, and not long ago, Mr. Wang and his wife filed for divorce......
Lin Nan's eyes lit up, "Nothing else?" ”
"Yes. Because the competition between video sites is too fierce, they want to postpone the payment for a month this time in case they need it.
Of course, it was also said that if we don't agree, forget it, they will pay according to the agreed time. ”
Lin Nan's fingers tapped on the desk and thought about it.
"You go and reply to them, I agree."
Yue Jun didn't ask much, the fact that Lin Nan is a shareholder of potatoes has long been known.
"Okay, I'll let you know now."
After Yue Jun finished speaking, he left the office and took the door with him.
Lin Nan thought about Yue Jun's words just now, but Wang Wei still took this step.
But it doesn't matter, no matter where it develops in the end, it will not affect Lin Nan.
The original intention of investing that $10 million was not simply waiting for potatoes to go on the market.
"I can accept it or not."
Lin Nan muttered to himself, he would still follow the financing in the future.
The invitation letter for "Sword and Fairy III" has been sent all over the circle.
Tang Ren is very high-profile this time, not only because Hu Ge is a first-line student, but also with the purpose of praising people.
"How did she reply?"
"Yang Mi said that she still has one year left on her contract, and she can't consider us for the time being."
The assistant relayed the original words to Cai Yinong.
"It's a pity. You go and talk to Rong Xinda about Yang Mi's advertising video, Perfect is still waiting for my reply. ”
"Well, I'll go right away."
The other side.
Yang Mi was not interested in Cai Yinong's solicitation at all.
In her opinion, Tang people can't provide film resources, and signing this company is no different from pension.
And there is already a Liu Shishi over there, even if she passes, she won't get much of a good role.
It's better to wait for the contract to expire and go to Zeng Jia.
