Chapter 218: Artist Agency
Lin Nan heard Yue Jun say that Zhou Yi held a press conference for the three TV series.
But there were very few media present, and none of them were very famous.
The actors and stars who went to the stage were almost all below the second tier.
In the corner of the portal, Lin Nan saw this text message, and really brought it over with a word.
However, some media reported that Jiang Yurou went to Lin Nan Pictures, as well as photos of her leaving.
In this regard, Jiang Yurou's response was very direct.
"It's just about cooperation, and it doesn't ...... cooperation"
The consequences of this answer are not good.
knows that Lin Nan is very good at talking in film and television investment.
Li Yang's "Blind Mountain", Cao Baoping's "Li Mi's Conjecture", Lu Yang's "Blind Cinema", ......
More than one project was invested in the project that lost money.
The cooperation that can make Lin Nan refuse, well, at least in the eyes of insiders, it is Lin Nan who refuses.
The project that can make him refuse is most likely not a good project.
Yue Jun came back to talk to Lin Nan about it, and the latter was a little speechless.
"It's equivalent to saying that now, the circle is even less optimistic about Zhou Yi's project?"
"Hehe, it looks like this."
Lin Nan was also a little helpless, he didn't say anything, and he cheated Jiang Yurou?
But he also had to admit that this situation would be very beneficial to him.
On the other hand, Zhang Yimou's movie was officially named "Three Guns Shooting Surprise".
Incidentally, the cast was announced.
This made the film industry a little dumbfounded, and more than half of them were not professional actors.
"Are these people sure they can do a good movie?"
There are constant voices of skepticism online and in the industry.
Lin Nan heard that Zhao Benshan had opened his mouth, as long as Zhang Yimou selected the person, he didn't need to be paid, he could invest in it.
The most surprising thing is that Zhang Yimou's originally prepared script actually had to be revised twice.
The person who participated in the revision of the script was Zhao Benshan's royal screenwriter.
In Zhang Weiping's words:
"This collaboration is a process of 'learning from each other'.
Ichimou will continue to shoot big scenes and create magnificent and strange visual effects that he is good at.
And with the help of the humor of the two actors, the plot is enriched, so that the film can achieve a win-win situation for vision and story. ”
Lin Nan said, "Blood Labyrinth" is so famous, Zhang Yimou's screenwriting team can't be so unreliable.
After doing it for a long time, it turns out that the biggest problem is here!
Lao Mouzi's movie script, let the screenwriter who wrote the sketch and the two-person turn to operate!
Are you really not worried about something happening at all?
However, Zhang Weiping dared to play like this, and it is estimated that he has gained a lot of benefits.
On the other hand, the registration for this year's Golden Rooster Award has started again.
Cao Baoping called Lin Nan as soon as possible, and he wanted to take the movie to participate in the evaluation.
"You and Ning Hao can direct commercial films, you don't care about the golden rooster.
I can't do it, I'm going to give it a go......"
Lin Nan is the producer, Cao Baoping has this idea, and he must communicate with him.
"Hasn't Mr. Cao been waiting for the film festival? Now that you're all starting to sign up, let's go.
You are a professor at Nortel, and the treatment is definitely different from me and Ning Hao, at least it will be fairer, haha. ”
When Cao Baoping heard Lin Nan's words, he laughed, but didn't say anything.
It sounds ironic, but it's true.
Lin Nan has achievements, but he is not qualified; And he has qualifications, but no achievements.
This is placed in domestic film festivals, and in contrast to the two, he has an absolute advantage.
"Wait until you go to Venice and get another prize, and then come back and slap them in the face, hehe......"
Cao Baoping finally joked.
"If you really look up to me, I'll take it as a blessing."
Cao Bao's efficiency is very high, and within two days, Lin Nan saw "Li Mi's Conjecture" on the official website of Jinji.
…………
Lin Nan continued to refine the script, well, adaptation.
Time passed day by day, and the graduate students who were about to graduate from Nortel returned from various crews one after another.
There are many undergraduates who cannot survive in the film and television industry after graduation and choose to change careers.
But Nortel's graduate students are different, they can basically find errands in the circle easily.
The filming location of "Cinema for the Blind" is in the capital.
Lin Nan went to the scene to take a look.
Every time he sees Wang Jinsong, he can think of "slingshotman", and his acting skills can be called explosive.
"I also said when Director Lin will come over, after all, I invested more than two million, haha."
Lu Yang's personality is more extroverted than Guo Wan.
"Isn't this coming?" Lin Nan said with a smile.
He had tested Lu Yang before and asked him if he would like to sign for him.
The latter thought about it for a few days and still did not give a reply.
It can be seen that it is an ideal.
After greeting Wang Jinsong and a few others, Lin Nan went to the side to chat with Lu Yang.
"The male lead I chose, like me, was making a movie for the first time, but his performance was very eye-catching."
Lu Yang talked about the male lead in this movie and was very satisfied.
Haiyan's artists will be trapped in the TV circle after a long time and can't get out, so they can only keep filming TV series in the end.
Lin Nan believes that Zhou Yiwei will cherish the opportunity given by Lu Yang.
"How's it going?"
Lu Yang smiled a little helplessly, "I originally planned to open a studio or a small company. ”
Lin Nan really didn't expect this answer, so he wanted to reject himself?
Seeing that the other party's voice changed, he continued, "But after thinking about it carefully, I think that what I want to shoot, I don't think anyone will invest in me." ”
"Shoot what?" Lin Nan faintly looked forward to the answer.
"Martial arts. Don't Director Lin think that there are no martial arts films in the mainland?
The famous martial arts movies, directors and teams are all from Hong Kong Island. ”
Lin Nan knew it in his heart.
Lu Yang talked about the demeanor of martial arts movies, just like Guo Wan went to Tiangong for the first time.
"It is generally believed in the industry that martial arts films are a thing of the past.
Even on Hong Kong Island, hasn't there been a good movie for a long time? ”
Lin Nan deliberately poured cold water on Lu Yang, and the latter would not be unaware of this situation.
"So I said, I don't think anyone will invest in me. If Director Lin is willing to give it a try......"
That's what Lin Nan was waiting for!
"Let's get this movie done first. Remember what I said to you last time? ”
Lu Yang nodded.
"That's not a joke, I happen to have this kind of script over there."
Lin Nan nodded, he believed that Lu Yang understood what he meant.
After the crew started, Lin Nan watched it for a while and left.
The results of this visit were very good, and Lu Yang basically agreed to his invitation to sign.
After all, ideals also need funds to pay for them, let alone high-risk ideals such as making movies.
"On the road of 'wronged big head', I really went farther and farther......"
Lin Nan laughed at himself.
…………
"Mythology", jointly produced by Yinghuang and Shangying, held a start-up press conference in the capital.
Lin Nan received the invitation, but did not go.
Yue Jun came back and told him that several bigwigs were asking Lin Nan Pictures if they had any eyebrows for the next project.
"What do you say?"
"I'm sure I don't know."
Yue Jun spreads his hands, he is responsible for a lot of work in the company, but movies are not included.
However, many people asked him about artist management today.
"Director Lin, we really have to think about the artist agency."
Lin Nan raised his head and glanced at Yue Jun.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You may not usually pay attention to the salary, and no actor or agent would dare to ask for a high price in front of you.
But I've been in contact with a lot, and the overall salary in the industry is rising this year, including various endorsement fees, all of which are going up......"
Lin Nan listened very carefully, and there was a new policy to encourage the financial industry to enter the cultural industry, and there will be policy support in the future.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the salary will rise.
This rise is completely unstoppable......
Lin Nan remembered that when Liu Yifei filmed "Condor", the salary for one episode was only 8,000 yuan.
"What do you mean, do you want the company to officially launch the artist brokerage business?"
The moment he asked this sentence, Lin Nan already knew the answer in his heart.
"That's what I thought."
Yue Jun said categorically.
In his opinion, with the company's signboard, the signed actors will not lack notices and drama appointments. This cake will only get bigger and bigger in the future.
Lin Nan frowned, he has been avoiding this question, after all, the company's main business is production, and there is a natural conflict with artist management.
But now, it seems that I have to think about it.
Ten minutes later, Lin Nan seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Yue Jun, who had been waiting, and said:
"The artist brokerage business is not just about signing people, but also about supporting agents, assistants, publicity teams, etc."
"I know that Zhang Yi's team is my Zhang Luo." Yue Jun said with a smile.
"Okay, you go and give me a plan for artist management, and I'll talk about the rest later......"
——
There is no need to keep this kind of thing secret.
Soon, Lin Nan's company wanted to do the matter of artist management, and it spread throughout the entire circle, and it was also spread "looks good".
"Director Lin is going to sign someone?"
"As long as Nortel's?"
"There is also an age limit!"
……
Let's not talk about which ones are true and which ones are false, anyway, there are many people who are tempted, and there are more companies and actors who are waiting.
When Yang Mi heard this, her mind turned quickly, and her contract was about to expire within a year.
Several teachers from the acting department called Lin Nan.
His reply was very uniform: "It's not decided yet, we have to wait for a while." ”
Jing Tian saw the news when the crew was resting.
"Brother Lin is going to sign an actor?"
For a moment, Jing Tian shook his head slightly, "Call Brother Lin, it's good......"
Liu Yifei seems to have gone to Nortel and got some professional books on filmmaking, and read them very seriously.
From time to time, I also circle the key points.
Lin Nan looked at the girl's serious appearance and asked, "Aren't you going to ask me something?" ”
"Ask what? Do you want to do the thing of artist management? ”
"That's right."
Liu Yifei's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled brightly.
Said seriously: "This is a good thing, the boss lady is looking forward to more employees, hehe......"
Lin Nan gave a thumbs up, "Well said, I have the posture of a lady!" ”
Before Lin Nan could reflect, he saw Liu Yifei dodge and came to him.
"Lady?"
The girl's smile was murderous, and she did it.
"Shhh...... Pain and pain...... Sissi, let go......"
"Hmph, let you keep your mouth shut, how many women?"
"One, just you......"
