Chapter 486: Agreement, What Agreement?
It's a joke.
All film and television companies and star studios in the industry are basically posting issues such as:
"Happy start to the year", "Work smoothly in the new year", "Movie box office hits", "TV series ratings hit a new high" and other festive Weibo.
After all, there are still a few days left before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Lunar New Year is not over yet.
But the Tang people were very conspicuous, and on the first day of construction, they directly sent a letter to the industry: "Solemn Statement".
The content directly refers to its artist Lin Gengxin, and the termination lawsuit with the company has not been pronounced, and the brokerage contract is still valid.
His act of privately contacting performing arts activities is a serious breach of contract.
Any third party circumventing the performance contract signed between Tang and Lin Gengxin will infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of Tang and shall not be counted.
The third party that has infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of Tangren hopes to contact the company as soon as possible to solve the problem, otherwise Tangren will protect the company's damaged interests through legal means.
β¦β¦
Other companies started work after the holiday, and they were all jubilant.
On Cai Yinong's side, he first gave a "warning letter" to the industry, and it is strange that it is not dazzling.
The key is that the "Solemn Statement" issued by the Tang people, the signature behind it is not the previous Tang Dynasty film and television, but the Tang Dynasty movie!
The difference between one word and this is very saying.
This company, which has been doing TV dramas for many years, has finally made up its mind to enter the film production industry?
Lin Gengxin was not convinced at all, and directly replied to a Weibo for sarcastic:
"Hair this for the New Year? In terms of temperament, I lost too badly. You who defaulted first, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry?
That's right, after all, it's a small company, and signing artists relies on coaxing and deception, so where can the atmosphere go? β
This Weibo was sent out, and it immediately received strong support from a large number of netizens.
"Before signing the contract, I said that you were a treasure, and after signing the contract, I treated you like grass and abandoned you like a walk!"
"If you still want to continue acting, you must firmly fight the lawsuit and don't reconcile......"
"The words of the Tang people can't be believed, they have always manipulated public opinion, smeared and suppressed!"
"Think about Yang Mi and Tang Yan at the beginning, who were not Tang artists, they were all smeared and targeted like that."
"This is the first artist to rise up and slap the face of the Tang people, be careful of being killed and set an example ......"
β¦β¦
Tang and Lin Gengxin are fighting lawsuits here;
Over there, Tang people's "fans" and Lin Gengxin's supporters also scolded each other with great fanfare on the Internet.
As soon as they started the year, they provided a lively watch for the media and entertainment industry, but they are really good people.
"Who can not have a chance, otherwise he, a third-tier artist, would not be so confident to fight a lawsuit and fight to the end."
In the heavenly color, Lin Nan and Guo Wan were chatting together. He heard that Lin Gengxin had one or two friends who were not bad.
After the filming of "Time and Space Traveler", the post-production was not done immediately, and it only officially started in the past two days, and Guo Wan happened to be a companion with Lin Nan.
"Director Lin, the VCR is edited, will you send it now?"
"Well, let's send it."
This year's Berlin Film Festival, except for "The Grandmaster" is the opening film, it has nothing to do with Chinese films at all.
Berlin sent invitations to many filmmakers, and after thinking about it, Lin Nan chose the VCR to send opening congratulations.
"Director Lin, Director Lu Yang has arrived."
The administration of Lin Nan Pictures has come to the heavenly color.
"Take it to my office. After watching this clip, I went over. β
Lin Nan spoke, and looked at Guo Wan again, "You also stop what you are doing and go over first." β
"What's the matter?"
"Good things, I'll know in a moment."
Lin Nan smiled and played a dumb riddle.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yang and Guo Wan were drinking tea in the office.
"Just told me to come to the company, and I didn't say anything. I'm still preparing for the future of the movie. β
Lu Yang is full of doubts.
Director Lin said it was a good thing. Look, isn't this coming? β
I saw Lin Nan followed by the assistant and walked in.
"Director Lin, what's the matter? Let's hurry up, I'll have to meet the people of the light in a while and discuss the propaganda plan. β
"What's the hurry, let's take a look at the new contract for you first."
Lin Nan motioned to his assistant, who opened the folder in his hand and handed the new contract to Lu Yang and Guo Wan.
"It's no different...... Alas? I'll go, Lin Dao Atmosphere! β
Lu Yang flipped very quickly, and he had already seen the modified place.
"In the past, you were the director's salary plus 3% of the producer's income, but now it has been changed to 5% of the producer's income.
A movie, excluding the cost of publicity and distribution, is almost the director's salary plus two points of divisible box office. β
Lin Nan said to himself, and the two people on the other side were staring at the contract with burning eyes.
This means that for a movie with a box office of 100 million, Guo Wan and Lu Yang will have 2 million more money in their hands.
And they are the same as before, they just need to be good directors.
You don't have to worry about anything else, and you don't need to pay anything extra, so you don't have to!
"Where's the pen? Give me the pen. "One Man's Martial Arts" comes according to the new contract. Haha......"
Lu Yang took the lead in making fun and enlivening the atmosphere.
Half an hour later, the new contract was signed, and Guo Wan and Lu Yang were both happy.
Box office sharing is the greatest encouragement and incentive for a commercial film director.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the film market, with the resumption of work during the Spring Festival, the market has shown signs of weakness.
"Journey to the West" was released for 14 days and cut 940 million. The box office performance chased "Thai Embarrassment", second only to the 963 million of "Genius Gunman" in the same time period. β
""Love in Seattle" was released for 10 days, and the box office reported 330 million, ranking second in the Chinese New Year file, and it is full of stamina."
"The 101st Marriage Proposal" starring Huang Bo and Lin Zhiling has a box office of more than 100 million, and the follow-up is weak."
"Zhang Ziyi's love movie "Very Perfect 2", with a box office of 72 million, has no scheduled films, and the next screening is just around the corner. The final box office is not expected to exceed 75 million. β
"Produced by Bayi Factory and China Film, starring 32 actors and stars such as Jing Tian, "The Village Evening is Getting Better and Better", the box office exceeded 30 million, and the revenue was 31.22 million, and the painting was completed in advance."
β¦β¦
None of these news are enough to attract the attention of the film and television industry and the public, because everyone is watching the joke of "Together".
This Chinese New Year, and even the biggest joke in the film industry in ten years!
"The romance film "Together" starring kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, the new four little flowers Yang Ying, Taiwan actor Chen Yanxi and others has a total box office of 823,000, becoming the biggest cannon fodder in the New Year stalls, with a flood of bad reviews, and has been forced to paint!"
Some media also joined in the fun, and added prefixes to Donnie Yen and Yang Ying, which was simply a slap in the face.
Such box office results, for Donnie Yen and Yang Ying, the two actors in the "biggest coffee" in the movie, will definitely become a stain that can never be erased in their careers!
"Donnie Yen has regained the title of box office poison since "Ip Man".
"It's the same four little flowers, all surnamed Yang, look at Yang Mi in "Love in Seattle", the gold worshipper girl plays very well."
"Yang Ying, the four little flowers, how much did it cost to buy?"
"Change the sect leader's girlfriend, Yang Ying will be the biggest failure in your life......"
β¦β¦
In the face of the sharp comments and ridicule of netizens, the parties concerned could only remain silent, try to keep a low profile and avoid the limelight.
In the film market, imported films such as "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" have also begun to be released one after another.
The only domestic films left are "Journey to the West" and "Seattle", which can withstand the pressure and increase the box office.
Just when everyone began to pay attention to imported films, the film bureau issued the latest notice.
"The release time of the movie "Love in Seattle" will be postponed to the end of March, and the release time will be extended by 14 days."
"The mainland and Hong Kong Island co-produced the movie "Journey to the West", and the screening time remains unchanged."
This news surprised the entire production industry.
Is this the key to both films applying for an extension? As a result, one passed, and the other was killed!
Although the daily box office of the two movies is about the same now, the rejection of the postponement application of "Journey to the West" still makes many people feel more regretful.
Because on the box office list, "Journey to the West" is a potential stock to fight for the first place, and the momentum is strong!
β¦β¦
"The postponement of "Zodiac" was rejected, and the postponement of "Journey to the West" was rejected...... Are they all Huayi's? This, tsk tsk......"
There are also many people in the circle who think of other reasons, and they are a little gloating for a while.
Huayi.
"What does he want to do? Make stumbling blocks, give us little shoes? β
Wang Zhongjun's eyes were bloodshot, and he knew very well that it was Han Sanping who did it.
It was Han Sanping's revenge on Hua Yi's backstabbing publisher and "1942" who first bowed to the theaters.
"But what can we do? He can influence the bureau, and what can we do? Go to sue? Who can you turn to? It's naΓ―ve. β
Wang Zhonglei also frowned, helpless.
If you change other companies in the circle, Huayi can find fault, but Zhongying, there is no way to do it!
There are still many headaches now, "Journey to the West" is a good box office, but Huayi's stock price has not risen, but the stock price of Gao Group has jumped up.
Suddenly, Wang Zhonglei thought of another thing.
"Big brother, there's something I have to remind."
"What's the matter?" Wang Zhongjun closed his eyes, calmed his emotions, and asked casually.
"It was the incentive agreement we negotiated with Zhou Xingchi on Chinese New Year's Eve. Once the box office exceeds 500 million, he can get another 80 million box office shares......"
"Yes, that's right. That's why he worked so hard to publicize, and even cooperated with Ma Yun to have a media symposium. What are you talking about this? β
Wang Zhongjun opened his eyes, looked at Wang Zhonglei and asked.
I saw the latter smile with a hint of malice.
"At the beginning, I replied that during the Chinese New Year's Eve, the company was on holiday, and there was no way to make up the paper contract, and I would do it again after the holiday. There's no opinion over there, just that they trust us......"
"And then?" Wang Zhongjun's eyes widened, and his facial muscles trembled slightly.
"As of today, I haven't signed it yet, and I haven't urged it there. In addition, we only reached an account-sharing incentive agreement in the form of an email, but we did not sign or affix the official seal......"
After saying this, Wang Zhonglei completely showed a smile on his face, like a face-painted smile, but there was no laughter, and it looked a little gloomy.
"Protocol, what incentive protocol? Didn't we sign it? Where did the 80 million come from! Hahaha......"
Wang Zhongjun said with a laugh, setting the tone for this matter.
"But, what if you ask over there?"
"Follow-up? If there is no matter, he will not ask again, so he will do it. Go back, let Xiaogang announce the new film over there, and stimulate the stock price ......"
"Okay, I got it."
With that, the two brothers looked at each other for a moment, and the next moment they laughed loudly.
The matter of not getting the extension key seems to be over. Won't you make up for this loss? And earn more!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Many people are making fun of Lin Nan, and he got the key to the extension for half a month, which must not increase the box office by tens of millions?
"Director Lin, thank you."
Xue Xiaolu also joked with Lin Nan.
"You'd better call me by name. Besides, this is also a movie that I invested in.
I just hope that with an extra half a month of release period, there will be a qualitative change at the box office, but don't get stuck at the threshold, it will be uncomfortable, haha......"
"Hopefully not." Xue Xiaolu echoed with a smile.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yang Mi looked at the news in the media, and she couldn't stop smiling, the box office has been more than 300 million, and it has only been half a month.
Even the most important box office reports of a movie are in the first half of the month to the first three weeks.
But there is still a month left for the release of "Seattle", and the final total box office will definitely be very good, and 600 million may have a chance.
"It's already 350 million, do you want to do it now?"
Zeng Jia asked, wanting to announce now that the contract with Shanhai Media will expire and not be renewed.
Because Yang Mi's limelight is now very strong.
The first of the four little flowers, the same schedule crushed another four little flowers Yang Ying, and the "Sad Fairy Tale" filmed at the same time before the box office was beaten, of course, it was also Liu Shishi.
"No, wait for 500 million."
Yang Mi said categorically.
In the past two days, her fans have caught Liu Shishi, and this time the grudge has been settled since the two movies started filming at the same time last year!
The group of people on the other side couldn't find a decent reply.
In a hurry, he can only pull all kinds of scandals, black materials, and some old sesame seeds and rotten grains.
Yang Mi, very happy.
"500 million?"
"Yes, 500 million, if possible, I hope to have 600 million."
Yang Mi's eyes were full of fighting spirit and longing.
Zeng Jia also nodded: "Yes, the higher the box office, the better the effect." β
"I just don't know if there is a second part of "Love in Seattle"? But I think the story is over, and it should be gone. β
"I guess it's gone." Yang Mi smiled and nodded.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lin Nan returned to the villa in the middle of the afternoon, but he didn't see Miss Liu.
This is rare, and I haven't heard of any announcements or events today?
"Could it be that he and Shu Zhan went crazy? Singing, shopping, shopping, go-karting, or going to the movies, partying? β
Lin Nan guessed, so he simply made a phone call, and he couldn't see anyone, he still thought about it.
In less than ten seconds, the phone was connected, but it was just the person who answered the phone, which Lin Nan didn't expect.
"Director Lin, are you so nervous Yifei? I want to ask where she went? Hehehe......"
"Xie Nan, why are you? What about the Sissi? Lin Nan was even more puzzled, a little inexplicable?
"Across from me, wearing gloves, peeling shrimp."
"Xie Nan said to invite me to afternoon tea, who knew that it would become a snack again, do you want to bring it to you when I go back?"
Liu Yifei's sweet voice came out of the phone.
"Forget it, I just want to know where you are, and now that I know, I'm relieved."
"Tut-tut, Director Lin is so straightforward." Liu Yan's laughter came from the side.
There was another burst of noisy laughter on the phone, and even Lin Nan was happy.
"Is Director Lin coming over? Not far away. β
"I'm not going to go."
"I'll bring it to you when I get back." Liu Yifei's crisp voice came, and she was in charge.
"Okay, listen to you. Eat slowly, and it won't bother you. β
"Okay, goodbye Director Lin."
The cacophony came again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lin Nan hung up the phone and shook his head with a smile.
"Xie Nan has a treat? It's rare. Is it because the relationship has finally been officially disclosed? β
Lin Nan didn't think much about it, Liu Yifei didn't have many friends, and she was still relatively homely. There are only a few things she can talk to, and it's not easy.
Of course, Lin Nan hopes that Miss Liu can go out for a stroll more if she has nothing to do, and he won't go to the women's pile to join in the fun.
