Chapter 426: Not Demanding, but Rejected

Just one night later, the news that Lin Nan and the theater party signed a gambling agreement again spread all over the film and television industry.

"Lin Nan Pictures signed an account-sharing VAM agreement with a domestic cinema company yesterday on the box office of "Genius Gunman".

"The gambling mode this time is the same as "Pacific Rim", and director Lin Nan is aiming at the box office of more than 1 billion......"

After many production companies got the news, they were a little envious, because Lin Nan's account-sharing VAM agreement was only beneficial to the producer.

Each film company immediately had its own thoughts.

"Can we borrow his account-sharing model and use it for the company's own films?"

Huayi, Bona, Xingmei and other companies with big directors and big production films reacted as soon as possible.

Wang Zhongjun tapped his fingers on the table and asked Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang.

"You can give it a try, and you won't lose money anyway. But I just don't know if the theater chain will agree? ”

Feng Xiaogang said in a deep voice. When it comes to interests, he is more rational than anyone else.

"Find a few more companies, especially if you have a blockbuster to be released this year, and go together. We don't have high requirements, so we take Lin Nan's treatment as the goal. ”

"Okay."

…………

There have been a small number of media outlets reporting on the copyright transaction volume of "Genius Gunman" on the Internet, and not surprisingly, it is all news from the theater company.

Some reporters called Lin Nan Pictures, but Jiang Yurou did not hide it, and immediately announced it on the company's Weibo.

"Many people wonder why Director Lin is so confident in "Genius Gunman", and why the theater side agreed to the bet cleanly."

"The reason is simple, this movie is great! Its rights transaction in Cannes amounted to $83.65 million. ”

"And Director Lin is one of the few directors in China who is qualified to let the theater side accept the gambling requirements, and he is the current holder of the box office record of domestic films, "Thieves", 901 million ......"

…………

The gossip on the Internet has been confirmed, and the copyright has really sold for 83.65 million US dollars!

The entire film and television industry was in an uproar.

Whether it is the production industry, entertainment companies, or actors and artists in the circle, they were all shocked.

This kind of profit scale and speed cannot be described, except for envy and acid, there is no other feeling.

No wonder Lin Nan Pictures has said many times that it will not consider accepting investment. Yes, a fool would do that!

By this time, the topic of "Genius Gunman" has been completely full, and the publicity effect is close to maximization.

Lin Nan was answering the phone, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and others were joking one by one, saying that Lin Nan was not authentic.

"The profit of the light in a year is not comparable to the copyright income of one of your movies! By the way, give me the release of "Thai Embarrassment". ”

"Yes. You're afraid you're coming to the last word, right? ”

"And you guessed it, haha......"

The sycophants, compliments and congratulations of insiders, and the expectations of netizens and audiences for the movie have been piled up on Lin Nan and the company's Weibo.

Of course, there are a small number of yin and yang weird.

Liu Yifei's side is also very lively.

"It is recommended that Producer Liu guard your director Lin, there are a lot of bewitching and cheap goods in the entertainment industry......"

"I want to ask, how much money can Yifei get? If you remember correctly, Red Star Dock is also the producer. ”

"I'm curious, how many assets does Director Lin have now? Forbes and Hurun are really not powerful! ”

……

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed at this moment.

Because the Film Bureau actually issued an article praising the good results achieved by "Genius Gunman" in Cannes, and the wording is high-end, elegant, and very patterned.

But when translated into the vernacular, it may be a bit cheesy: everyone makes more good movies, sells more copyrights, and earns more American knives and euros......

…………

Before you know it, June's film is also starting to be released.

"Men in Black 3" in May, the box office reported 400 million, and the daily income was still 10 million; At this time, movies such as "Madagascar 3" also followed, and imported films were still strong.

Domestic films seem to be waiting for "The Four Famous Catches" to blow the horn of the summer file.

"How about those ad endorsements?"

Lin Nan saw Zhao Liying, who returned to the company.

"It's really good, thank you Director Lin for your concern."

It can be seen that what Zhao Liying said is very sincere and not adulterated.

This bun face is quite affinity.

"Is that coming back today?"

"I'm coming back to find Director Jiang, and there is still a contract for "The Four Famous Catches 2", and then I have to follow Director Chen and them to start running the publicity ......"

Lin Nan remembered that Wang Changtian said that when the first part was released, the second part would be ready to start.

"Well, there you go."

Lin Nan nodded and didn't ask any more, but Zhao Liying looked a little hesitant.

"Director Lin, I heard that the company has help and benefits for artists in terms of capital loans?

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, Zhao Liying asked quite tactfully, "I heard"!

The company does have this thing, which is the inspiration that Lin Nan got from Yue Jun.

However, there are only 5 artists in total, Yang Mi and Zhang Yi have debuted for so long and have savings. Reba is a newcomer, and Lei Jiayin didn't mention it.

Speaking of which, Zhao Liying was the first to ask about it.

"With this benefit, you need money?" Lin Nan asked softly.

Zhao Liying nodded seriously, "I think, I bought the house......"

It's not easy to live in the capital! Now Lin Nan understood.

Zhao Liying is full of calculations, and it has only been one year since she signed a contract with Shanhai Media, but this year has made her see hope.

Before, on Huayi's side, with her coffee position, if she wanted to buy a house in the capital, she could only think about it in her dreams.

You must know that even Yue Jun bought a villa two or three years after he became the housekeeper of Lin Nan Pictures.

"That's what I saw Director Jiang for, right?"

"Well, yes."

"Then you go, the company has this benefit for artists, which is equivalent to overdrawing part of your future salary and endorsement remuneration in advance, without interest."

Zhao Liying's contract is eight years, and she is only the descendant of the company, which is a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Zhao Liying was obviously a little excited. This means that the purpose of her return today has been achieved.

Looking at Zhao Liying's back as she walked away, Lin Nan felt a little that people from low-level families often have very simple ideas, and they also have courage when necessary.

Between the lightning and flint, a thought popped up in Lin Nan's mind, he felt that Zhao Liying and Wang Baoqiang were still a bit similar?!

…………

The next day, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others started the second round of film promotion again.

This time it is still from the capital, Chinese opera.

There are basically more performance students recruited here every year than Nortel, and the teaching is also stricter.

Even the 12th grade, which started in three months, has already arrived at the school and started to work hard.

When it comes to the number of people and battles on the scene, it is even more exaggerated than in the play, and many students who have graduated and officially graduated half a month later have come.

…………

"Maybe everyone loves art, but no one can refuse the big screen, let alone you, the youngest Golden Lion director and director of commercial films."

A Chinese opera director laughed with Lin Nan.

"Art, after all, must also go to the market, and the high and low will not last long."

After the propaganda ended, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others were left behind by the acting department and had a meal.

Over the years, with the rapid development of the film and television industry, Chinese opera has changed a lot, and the previous set made the students of this school suffer too much when they go out to compete.

Several Nortel, Shangju, and Foreign Language Academies were warmly welcomed in Chinese opera, which was indeed a bit awkward.

Lin Nan was pulled to introduce many students who have graduated and are in school, and in the mouth of the Chinese opera teacher, these are all young students with very good acting skills.

Anyway, Lin Nan has never heard this kind of thing in the mouth of the teacher of Nortel's performance department, maybe because he has no confidence, right?

"This is Song Yi, who was admitted to Renyi as soon as he graduated, and it has been almost two years, and he often goes back to school to rehearse dramas."

"Lan Yingying, just entered the Renyi ...... with the first place last month"

……

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei responded with "Director Lin is good" and "Producer Liu is good", but in fact, they couldn't cry or laugh in their hearts.

Good guys, none of the actors who pulled over were famous, but they were all organized.

It's not a human art, it's the National Theater or the Youth Theater, it's a bit showy!

"There are many excellent actors in Chinese opera, director Lin Nan or the company will have a movie in the future, please give them a chance......"

"Well, there's a chance to audition."

……

Leaving the Chinese opera, Lin Nan and the others felt a lot more relaxed.

"In terms of business ability, Chinese opera is indeed stronger than the students of Nortel's performance department. Although it has been loosened a little in recent years, Nortel's side is even worse. ”

Lin Nan couldn't help it and complained.

"In a few days, I will go back to the school to publicize, and I hope Director Lin can say what he just said out loud."

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin joked maliciously, but Lin Nan ignored the two goods and went back to their respective homes.

…………

In the evening.

"Come and see, Huayi is inviting theaters to negotiate the box office gambling, and even the proportion of the gambling is copied from our "Genius Gunman......"

Liu Yifei was dressed in home clothes, followed by two honor guards, and ran to Lin Nan's side.

The latter had just come out of the shower, wearing only big pants, and hugged the person over.

"I'll see."

The news is reporting that Huayi, together with Bona, Xingmei and other companies, learned from Lin Nan a few days ago, and sent an invitation to the theater.

Today, Huayi and other companies followed the example of Lin Nan Pictures and negotiated with the theater party.

Strive to make films such as "1942", "Zodiac", and "Blood Drops" get the same gambling ratio as "Genius Gunman......"

"The specific outcome of the consultation is not yet known."

……

A few minutes later, Lin Nan finished reading it.

How to say it, he thinks that Wang Zhonglei's ideas are very good, but they may not be successful.

When a movie signs a gambling agreement, in fact, the theater side will also help a little, such as in the film scheduling, because this is a win-win result.

Only if a film is really likely to complete the VAM agreement, it will be favored and supported by the theater party, and not every movie will work.

And Lin Nan dared to speak because the box office of "Thieves" was as high as 901 million. He has this strength, and the theater is willing to trust him because of this.

The circle is paying attention to the movements of several companies in Huayi, but depending on the situation, at least we have to wait for tomorrow.

…………

The next morning, it was really as Lin Nan thought.

Several companies such as Huayi, Bona and Xingmei have collapsed with the eight major cinema companies.

To be precise, it was the theater that rejected the request of Wang Zhonglei and others, and in the eyes of the theater, those movies were not worth their bet.

Even the official announcement came out;

"After unanimous negotiation by our theater side, movies such as "1942" and "Zodiac" do not have the conditions to sign the same account-sharing gambling agreement as "Genius Gunman"."

"Because according to the content of the agreement, if the box office of the movie is higher than 800 million, the account sharing ratio will be changed from 43% to 44.5%, and there will be a substantial change in the account sharing ratio.

Looking at the past box office results of several directors, the highest box office of "The Great Earthquake" is only 673 million, far less than 800 million. Therefore, there is no need for the parties to enter into a VAM agreement......"

This announcement issued by Dadi Cinemas on behalf of all cinema chains is like a slap in the face of several companies and directors such as Huayi, which is very loud and embarrassing!

"According to what they say, Lin Nan is the only one left in the country!"

"The box office was high before, can it mean that this time it is also high? If foreign copyrights are sold at a high price, will the domestic box office be good? ”

……

Feng Xiaogang pulled the gong and scolded angrily in Wang Zhonglei's office, with uncontrollable anger on his face.

"There's no way, the theater chain won't let go, we can only wait for the time to slap them in the face with the box office. This time, do a good job of publicity, at least 800 million, show these people......"

Wang Zonglei said sharply.

Before, everyone still thought that the requirements were not high, and they just had to keep up with "Genius Gunman", but who knew that they would be rejected strongly?

"When the time comes, I will personally lead the team, the national roadshow, this time I will go above 1 billion, I still don't believe it......"

Feng Xiaogang scolded and said that this time he was slapped in the face by the theater line, which made him very angry.

Although he is not the only director who has been named.
