Chapter 362: Raising the Ratio, the Honeymoon Period is Coming
Sometimes, Lin Nan doesn't know how to evaluate Zhang Weiping.
He is a pure businessman, and it is precisely because he is a businessman that he looks at all the points that can make money.
"All the production companies invited to the scene are present, and he hopes that everyone will join forces, take a tough attitude, put strong pressure on the theater chain, and increase the current account sharing ratio......
Yue Jun was very excited when he said it, and it could be seen that he supported Zhang Weiping's move.
But Lin Nan was a little indifferent.
Although Zhang Weiping's selfishness is also in line with the interests of the producer, the current situation of the domestic market has not yet developed to the point where the producer crushes the theater chain.
It is still those professional cinema companies that occupy the initiative, and they control more than eighty percent of the theaters in China!
Maybe some production companies have so many theaters in their hands, but they are all petty and too scattered to be on the table.
Although "Thirteen Hairpins" is a much-anticipated blockbuster, this year's domestic blockbuster with the largest investment, major theaters are waiting for its release.
But this kind of bargaining chip is only in Zhang Weiping's hands, and most production companies do not have "Thirteen Hairpins", nor Zhang Yimou.
"Director Lin?"
Seeing Lin Nan's calm face, Yue Jun asked out loud.
"There shouldn't be a few companies, promise him on the spot, right?"
Lin Nan asked with an affirmative tone.
Yue Jun nodded subconsciously:
"How does Director Lin know? All the companies were very interested, but most of them said that they would go back and report, discuss, and give a reply......"
As he spoke, Yue Jun seemed to understand what Lin Nan meant, "In the end, they probably won't follow?" ”
"Well, most companies shouldn't follow, what do they take to be tough with the theater chain?"
At present, only commercial blockbusters with big directors like "Thirteen Hairpins" are qualified to compete with theaters.
Because there are only a few films a year, the theater chain is pointing to it to make money. Other companies come together, and that is to find death.
Only when the market really develops to a certain scale and the market is huge enough, can the production company and the theater chain be in a state of balance, and no one can control anyone. Now, it's a little worse.
"He should be focusing on you, right?" Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and guessed with a smile.
"Hehe, Director Lin is right, including us, Huayi is the target of several people, but we didn't express our position on the spot."
It seems that Zhang Weiping knows very well in his heart that there are only a few domestic film production companies that can have influence on the theater side.
These companies all have a common feature, that is, they have big commercial film directors who can sell well.
At this point, Lin Nan is very confident in himself, he must be the object of being co-opted.
"Director Lin, what does our company mean?" Yue Jun continued to ask.
Lin Nan thought about it and had a plan in his heart:
""Thirteen Hairpins" will be released in two months, and it will only be Zhang Weiping who is anxious. If you want other companies to follow him on the charge, how is that possible? None of them are fools.
As for us, when he makes a fuss, we will support him. After all, there has never been an example of a revolution that succeeded in one go. ”
As a producer, Lin Nan absolutely supports increasing the share ratio.
can take the position of the eldest brother, the risk is too great. Since Zhang Weiping intends to put pressure on the theater chain, let him sit in this position.
"Director Lin, what if he asks us for an answer these days?"
"Then tell him clearly that we support it, but only after he speaks up. But if you want us to act with him, that's impossible.
I think other companies should have the same attitude. Even worse, it may only follow the shouting ......"
Lin Nan replied very casually, there is no need to drag on Zhang Weiping for this kind of thing.
…………
The National Day holiday is over.
"Painted Wall" rushed to 130 million, and the daily box office at this time was still in the early 7 million.
The press releases of the light were sent out one after another, and they were all "good news".
On the other hand, "The Legend of the White Snake" is here. Although the total box office is also 130 million, the daily income has dropped by 5 million.
From the box office success in the first few days, to the public opinion uproar, it has taken a sharp turn.
"The Legend of the White Snake" staged a drama of "the collapse of the middle way" for the industry, and directly booked the title of the biggest joke in the film industry this year.
It is an inevitable fact that the box office was surpassed and crushed by "The Painted Wall".
I don't know if Yang Tsai is really crazy or fake, or wants to hype it up again.
Juli Film and Television actually announced on Weibo that the sequel to "The Legend of the White Snake" has been approved and will start filming from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.
And they have invited Li Lianjie to continue to participate, and the sequel will also be made into a 3D version.
Not to mention, this news has really attracted a lot of attention.
But when Yang Zai "learned lessons" and "looked forward to the future" in front of the media, he was slapped in the face again.
Li Lianjie's assistant took the initiative to contact the media:
"We didn't get an invitation and we won't be there. When I was filming "The Legend of the White Snake" before, I said that it was just a cameo.
But after joining the group, the producer Juli Pictures continued to revise the script and add scenes, making the original two-day scene become a 25-day play.
Because of the face of Cui Baozhu's producer, Mr. Li Lianjie didn't say anything, but he would never cooperate with Juli Pictures again in the future......"
is considered to be a long-term insight in the circle, but there is really someone who can prostitute Li Lianjie for nothing? spent the price of a broken bone, and tricked someone into playing the leading role once, and it was all a play!
Fame is a thing, and after it stinks, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
is like Yang Zai, who is completely proud, and by the way, he used this incident as a promotional selling point. didn't leave even a trace of face for Li Lianjie at all, and mocked the other party's big ......
When Lin Nan saw this gossip, he admired Yang Zai's brain circuit a little.
It could have been just a matter of losing a movie. With this operation, even if he completely cut off his back path in the film and television industry.
With this kind of character, which big-name star or company will dare to cooperate with him in the future? I have to always be on the embankment to see if I will be backstabbed by Yang Zai.
…………
Lin Nan went to the crew of "Search" and visited the second shift.
Except for Ning Hao and Guo Wan, he hasn't visited other directors yet.
But Yang Mi's matter still has to be repaid.
This time, Lin Nan saw what Director Chen looked like on the set.
Every great director has his own style. Lin Nan agreed with this sentence.
Just like at this moment, Chen Hong led him to the filming team, and Chen Kaige was talking to Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Luodan.
Director Chen's momentum made both actresses a little nervous.
is obviously a feature film, but Chen Kaige just wants it to bring a kind of atmosphere of literary films.
Lin Nan heard Chen Hong say that this script respects the original work and has not been adapted much.
This is interesting, as long as Chen Kaige doesn't "tell the story", there is a high probability that the movie will be able to go to the next level!
……
Within two hours of the visit, there was a report on the Internet.
"Director Lin Nan, today's visit to "Search", the latter talks about online violence."
"Director Lin is in the class, suspected of being due to Yang Mi's role change incident."
""Searching" and "Hunting" belong to the same genre. Looking forward to Director Chen's "Search" ......"
……
Chen Kaige's crew, Lin Nan really couldn't stay.
During the break, several actors talked to Chen Kaige and Chen Hong cautiously, for fear of touching the mold.
And Chen Kaige is also stubbornly holding his posture and shelf, enjoying touting and asking for advice, and pointing out a few people by the way.
This made Lin Nan a little panicked, wasn't he tired?
Anyway, he has made so many movies, and he often jokes with actors in the crew, and he doesn't see any impact on his status as a big director?
…………
When Lin Nan returned to the company, the employee told him that Guo Wan had been waiting for a long time.
Since the completion of "Space Traveler", Guo Wan has been preparing for his graduation.
I heard that the graduation process at the School of Management is much more troublesome than that of the Department of Directing. No, people will come to the company.
"You've done a good job, come back and prove it yourself." Lin Nan teased.
"Haha, what Director Lin said is that for this convenience, now it's up to you and Yifei to sign."
Guo Wan handed over a few pages of the form, a special material list for the graduation of the School of Management.
The above is the information of "Space Traveler", from the number of the preparation budget to the time when the filming was completed, it is very detailed, and Yue Jun has already helped stamp it.
The director and producer must sign both columns to prove that Guo Wan's graduation thesis is indeed from the crew of "Space Travelers".
Lin Nan picked up the pen, brushed the brush, and signed two names, he and Liu Yifei's.
"You're too perfunctory, aren't you? Anyway, take it back and let Yifei sign it for me. ”
Guo Wan took it with a smile, "Huh? Not to mention, I really can't tell that it was signed by one person! ”
Lin Nan smiled and didn't speak. Liu Yifei signed his name, which is more similar than what he wrote himself.
"After participating in the defense in the future, you should work, don't be as lazy as Lu Yang, haha......"
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Guo Wan chuckled and nodded, he thought so too.
"Lu Yang is indeed a little lazy, it seems that he has been a guest at the Busan Film Festival in the past two days.
But when it comes to filming, Director Lin has a ready-made script here? ”
Guo Wan asked with some expectation, Lin Nan's script is guaranteed, which is recognized in the industry.
"Well, I'll see the script when you get the school done."
"Okay, then listen to Director Lin."
Half an hour later, Guo Wan left the company.
…………
Speaking of the Busan Film Festival in the past two days, Huayi has done a big thing.
They signed a strategic cooperation agreement with UAM, an alliance of six major brokerage companies in South Korea, in Busan.
This means that a large number of South Korean artists and idol stars will enter the mainland through the springboard of Huayi.
After all, only people from small places enter the big market, and it is impossible to reverse it, and it will only be the stick side that takes advantage.
Lin Nan's first reaction when he saw this news was, "The honeymoon period of the Chinese and Korean film and television cultural circles is coming!" ”
The facts are indeed as Lin Nan guessed.
The South Korean artists at the signing site are all well-known girl groups and men's groups over there, and the intention is already obvious.
These domestic idol stars, I'm afraid they will be hung up and beaten when the time comes!
