Chapter 425: Pressing Chess, Agreement
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's remarks on the play quickly spread throughout the film circle.
Poor Zhang Weiping was the first to propose to change the proportion of account sharing, but in the end it was not negotiated, so they could only take a step back and reach an agreement with a decreasing VAM sharing model.
Subsequently, no one expected that Lin Nan's side not only changed the rules of the bet and proposed the account-sharing model that the higher the box office, the higher the share, but also successfully won the bet!
Now it's even more addictive, and "Genius Gunslinger" is ready to do the same!
Everyone couldn't help laughing at Zhang Weiping, as if they had set up a platform for Lin Nan and paved the way.
"Director Lin, don't you say you're serious?"
Ye Ning's phone call quickly came.
Just because Lin Nan Pictures is very clean and neat, after Liu Yifei publicly said those words, he immediately issued a gambling invitation to all theaters.
The major cinema companies are a little undecided, but in fact, they are eager to try.
Pacific Rim has proven that this is a win-win model.
And the major theater chains are not united, if they don't agree to gamble, Lin Nan is easier than Zhang Weiping to break the theater line.
Offending a top commercial film director and a high-grossing production company is not the result that the theater chain wants to see.
What's more, this time "Genius Gunman" is a domestic film, and Lin Nan may not be able to get the highest proportion......
"Yifei has spoken out publicly, I must be serious."
Lin Nan said with a smile and no doubt.
Ye Ning, who was only listening to the other end of the phone, paused for a few seconds, "Director Lin, can you tell me how much "Genius Gunman" sold at the Cannes Film Festival?" ”
Lin Nan knew that the theater would definitely inquire about the news.
At the beginning, the filmmakers in various regions didn't know each other's reserve prices, and on their own side, Lin Nan issued a gag order very early, just to prevent this hand.
"I can't."
Hearing this answer, Ye Ning understood.
"It seems that Director Lin sold it for a lot of money. Let's talk to each other when the time comes. ”
"Okay."
…………
Nortel's official website posted the graduation list of all graduate students.
Guo Wan and Zhao Yanzi, who are in the forefront, are both outstanding graduates of their respective majors and have the highest thesis defense scores.
This announcement time is a little late, Lin Nan heard Han Jianu say that it was the graduate school of the directing department waiting for Zhao Yanzi's movie, the "To Our Dying Youth".
However, the film submitted by Zhao Yanzi is not a finished product, just a rough cut work.
is such a movie with the theme of youth films, and it can actually get the highest score. To be honest, this result is a bit unexpected, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense.
A large number of industry insiders, familiar and unfamiliar, all sent congratulations on Weibo, only the two of them.
Those graduates who are not famous are basically ignored.
On the Internet, many people are watching the excitement.
Many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who quit Weibo because of the "Zhao Zhen controversy" seem to have made an appointment, and returned to Weibo to promote public welfare through the public welfare activities of "World Environment Day".
In the final analysis, I am still reluctant to have that large number of fans, or more precisely, I am reluctant to benefit.
Feng Xiaogang was very excited and took the initiative to post on Weibo to welcome Shu Qi's return, and many celebrities in the Huayi circle followed closely and expressed their welcome.
Netizens were sneering, saying that they would quit, but they had withdrawn for less than 3 months?
Director Feng, who is bent on being a messenger of protecting flowers, will inevitably spray again.
…………
said that it was a week, and it was really just a week, and "Thai Embarrassment" was inserted.
The latest batch of approved lists of the Film Bureau are all films with a lot of origins.
Cheng Long's "Zodiac", Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment", ......
Before Hua Yi only said that the movie would be released in the Chinese New Year, it was reviewed now, and the specific release date was announced as soon as possible.
After careful discussion and coordination by the company, Feng Xiaogang directed the movie "1942", which is scheduled for November 29;
Brother Cheng Long's self-written, directed and acted movie "Zodiac" is scheduled for December 12......"
As soon as the news was announced, the entire film industry was not calm.
Really treat the Lunar New Year stalls as buses, and stuff the blockbusters into them?
In particular, "1942" and "The King's Feast" were released on the same day, and many media went to interview the two directors.
Both mouths are quite hard, Feng Xiaogang is confident:
"1942" is the most dedicated film I have made in these years, far better than "The Great Earthquake", the box office is only high and not low, and director Lu Chuan has no advantage in commercial films......"
On the other hand, Lu Chuan quickly shot back, "When we meet on a narrow road, no one can say that they will win, why can't it be that "The King's Feast" is better than "1942"?" As long as you don't charter the ......"
Good guy, Lu Chuan is nakedly exposing the old bottom, and he doesn't save face for Feng Xiaogang at all.
Lin Nan Pictures is here.
"Director Lin, really don't change? The key is that so many blockbusters have entered the Lunar New Year file......"
Jiang Yurou asked with some concern, and Xu Zheng on the side wanted to refute, but opened his mouth and held back again.
After all, he is only the director and actor of the film and is not qualified to make decisions.
I saw Lin Nan smile and said, "What is the Lunar New Year?" ”
Jiang Yurou and Xu Zheng didn't react for a while, and were stunned.
"It's been a busy year, and most of us have a simple idea, they just want to go to the theater and relax. How to relax? Comedy is the best option! ”
After Lin Nan finished speaking, the two people in front of him understood.
"So the theme of "Thai Embarrassment" is the most appropriate?"
"That's true." Xu Zheng also nodded.
"Go and make an announcement, add some spices." Lin Nan commanded.
Jiang Yurou nodded and left the office.
"Director Lin, when "People Are in Embarrassment" was filmed before, we said that there would be a sequel, now?" Xu Zheng couldn't help but speak.
"It's too early, let's talk about it when this movie is released."
Lin Nan looked up at Xu Zheng and said casually.
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Hmm."
…………
An hour later, Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo was updated.
"Produced by the company, directed by Xu Zheng, and written by Lin Nan, "Thai Embarrassment" will be set for December 1. I am willing to compete with films such as "The King's Feast" head-on to see if there are any bad movies! ”
Good guys, three famous commercial films in one day, set a specific release time.
Lin Nan Pictures is even more ruthless here, directly naming "The King's Feast", what is this for?
Pressure chess?
Provocation, insult!
Too naked, right?
As soon as Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo came out, the media in the circle was excited.
Everyone knows that in the circle, there has been a conflict between Lin Nan and Lu Chuan, just like Jiang Wen and Lu Chuan.
In the past, there were always people who mediated, made peace, and pressed down. After all, both are well-known directors and facades of Nortel.
But this time, Lin Nan obviously didn't plan to be low-key, "Thai Embarrassment" directly named "The King's Feast", the intention was obvious, to do it positively, talk at the box office of the movie, and slap his face.
People who never think it's a big deal to watch the excitement are always the first to coax, just like Jiang Wen, a Weibo was quickly posted:
"Today I have to pick a bottle of good wine, prepare a good dish, and invite Director Lin to have a good meal. Now just want to say one word, well done! ”
The same nakedness, without any disguise!
On Huayi's side, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhonglei and others were also confused, although they were also opponents, they didn't take "Thai Embarrassment" in their eyes at all.
"The box office of the first part is more than 90 million, and the sequel should be like that, at most more than 100 million, which has no impact on us. Let them bite. ”
…………
Lu Chuan's face, his face was gloomy, and he had been scolding for a while, and Qin Lan was cleaning up the glass slag on the side.
Lu Chuan knows Go, the set time is adjacent, plus his own name, this is the press chess!
When did he receive such an insult, especially since "Thai Embarrassment" was not directed by Lin Nan himself, the latter was just a screenwriter.
"Arrogant and arrogant people will only shoot themselves in the foot, we will wait and see."
Lu Chuan's Weibo came out, and in the eyes of the media and circles, he was in response.
Standing in line, many insiders chose to stand in line.
First of all, Zhang Yi and other own artists, and then Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Jing Tian, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and a large number of actors and artists, all praised Lin Nan Pictures' Weibo.
Guo Wan, Lu Yang, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others were also not absent.
This circle is Vanity Fair, as long as you are not blind, you should know which one to choose between Lin Nan and Lu Chuan.
…………
"Teacher Tian asked you not to deal with those people, saying that you were unassuming when you were young, and you will regret it when you get old, haha......"
Liu Yifei took Lin Nan's mobile phone, read the text message on it, and hugged her stomach and laughed.
"The teacher is right." Lin Nan said with a smile while sorting out his clothes in the mirror.
"A lot of blocked calls and texts?"
"It's all peacemakers, leave them alone. Pay attention to your mobile phone, maybe I'll ask you to convey it to me. ”
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Liu Yifei's mobile phone rang.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou? Lin Nan? He went out and went to talk to the cinema company about work. You don't have to help anyone with the talk, well, that's it......"
Lin Nan glanced at the smiling heartless Miss Liu, and gave a thumbs up, "I'm leaving." ”
"Well, come back early."
…………
Lin Nan took Jiang Yurou and some of the company's professionals to meet with the representatives of the theater in Wanda.
In the conference room, a group of people from the theater saw Lin Nan and his party coming in, and everyone was smiling, as if they were friends partying.
There was no tension between the two sides when they first met at the Film Bureau.
This is because "Pacific Rim" makes everyone earn.
"Director Lin, isn't it a problem for you to do this? It's been almost half a year since the bet, and in your case, Zhang Weiping doesn't count. In the past six months, other companies and movies have not even mentioned this matter. ”
The vice president of Dadi Cinema first joked.
"That's because they don't have confidence in themselves, and they're afraid of being pushed even lower by you. In terms of courage, it is not as good as Zhang Weiping. ”
Lin Nan said with a smile while motioning for Jiang Yurou and the others to sit down.
It's almost time, and the people of the new film association get straight to the point:
"This time the bet on "Genius Gunman", what does Director Lin want to bet on?"
Ye Ning drank tea with his head down on the side, not saying a word, as if he didn't care about the things on the field.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, just take out the last contract and sign it again, and finish it early."
"When I went out, Liu Yifei told me to go back early."
In the eyes of the theater side, Lin Nan's two sentences are more out of tune than the other.
"Pacific Rim's VAM?"
"That's right."
"Director Lin is not joking? Even "Pacific Rim" only exceeded 1.2 billion because of the extension key, and got 46% of the ......"
"I didn't say that I had to break through 1.2 billion, isn't 44.5% not bad? Don't I have this qualification for my domestic film? ”
Lin Nan interrupted the other party's words, with a smile on his face, and asked playfully.
No one will say that Lin Nan is not qualified, and when the original "Thief" gets here, he can still enjoy a 44.5% account sharing ratio.
On the field, there was silence for a moment, and the theater side looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't speak first.
In the end, Ye Ning opened his mouth to make a decision, and Wanda is the largest cinema chain in China.
"Let's follow "Pacific Rim", Director Lin is currently the most qualified director in China."
"Then sign?"
"Wanda has accepted it, so let's sign it."
……
After a while, all the theater representatives reached an agreement, and the gambling agreement of "Genius Gunman" was based on "Pacific Rim".
……
After more than two hours, all the contracts were signed and notarized.
At this time, a cinema company couldn't help but ask:
"Director Lin, can you tell us now what the copyright transaction amount of "Genius Gunman" is in Cannes, right?"
"$83.65 million!"
"Hiss......"
Lin Nan's voice landed, and the representatives of all the theater companies couldn't help but gasp and let out an exclamation.
"Awesome!"
"This, I have to scare a large number of film companies to death......"
"No wonder Director Lin is so confident!"
"Congratulations to Director Lin!"
……
"It's okay, it's okay. There's not much money either, hehehe......"
Lin Nan replied with a smile on his face.
The theater parties smiled reluctantly, obviously complaining about Lin Nan in their hearts, they can really pretend to be forced!
