Chapter 490: Investment, Results
In less than three minutes, Liu Yifei came back with a script.
"Well, this is the script Xie Nan gave me. He said that he had found a lot of companies, but they were all rejected. ”
When Lin Nan heard this, he couldn't help laughing:
"So, that's why she often invited you to afternoon tea and dinner in the past few days?"
"Come to think of it, that's how it should be. She hesitated to the last before she spoke to me. ”
Liu Yifei nodded, said with a smile, and urged Lin Nan.
"I think this script is okay, but don't you often say that I don't have a good eye for picking scripts, so you can help me read it."
"The people in the company advised me not to invest, saying that this kind of movie will lose one by one. I'm very entangled now, and I was able to give Xie Nan a package ticket at that time. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look."
As Lin Nan spoke, he flipped up the script, and in less than a minute, the expression on his face was wrong.
"What's wrong, isn't it?"
"No, I'll take a look."
Lin Nan quickly turned the page and browsed.
Five minutes later, Lin Nan closed the script, although he only read a fifth of it.
"Why didn't you watch it?" Liu Yifei asked.
Lin Nan looked at Miss Liu's fair and delicate face in front of her, and shook her head with a smile:
"Don't look at it, Xie Nan is investing in Wu Yan."
"You can guess that?"
"When he was filming "Thieves" before, he said that he would not give up his dream of directing. This script is also a military theme, who else can Xie Nan give him investment in? There is no movie name on the script......"
Lin Nan explained to the end, and also complained.
"So, should I invest or not? I checked it, and it seems that this type of movie outside really doesn't make much money......"
Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and said a little timidly.
"Fool, you want to invest, right?"
Lin Nan pinched the girl's face, which was very smooth and tender.
"Hmm." Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously.
"Then go and call Xie Nan and ask her to bring Wu Yan out, and I will accompany you to meet with them."
Lin Nan shook his head at Liu Yifei and gestured to the mobile phone on the table.
"Really? Okay, I'll call now, I guess she's been waiting for my news for the past two days. ”
Liu Yifei picked up the mobile phone, found the number, and immediately dialed it.
Looking at her serious look, Lin Nan smiled lightly and muttered, "Congratulations, Producer Liu." ”
……
"Yes, Lin Nan and I are together, you have a treat."
……
"Okay, we'll go over now, just in time for dinner."
Five minutes later, Liu Yifei hung up the phone and looked at Lin Nan.
"Today's dinner is over, Xie Nan has a big dinner, hehe."
"The investment in a movie is less than tens of millions, and this meal is not cheap." Lin Nan quipped.
"Alright, you go for a drive, I'm going to change my clothes."
Liu Yifei walked out of the villa with light steps.
…………
Half an hour later, Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei's newly bought Ferrari and drove her straight to the private restaurant.
At this time, Xie Nan and Wu Yan had already arrived.
"Listen to me, order first. When they arrived, they were ready to serve. Xie Nan commanded.
"What's the matter? Do you know what Director Lin likes to eat? ”
"Nonsense, how could I possibly know. But I know what Yifei likes to eat, and that's enough. ”
Xie Nan glanced at Wu Yan, this brain does not turn!
"Makes sense, you're amazing!" Wu Yan realized it afterwards and gave a thumbs up.
"Hmph, learn a little."
……
The sun is gradually setting, and the weather in March is still a little cool.
Lin Nan parked the car, followed the waiter with Liu Yifei, and walked to the private room.
Both of them are light down jackets, and Liu Yifei is still wearing a hat, but she can't hide her outstanding temperament at all.
"Oh, Director Lin, Yifei, sit down. It's time to serve. ”
Xie Nan said to the waiter.
After entering the private room, it was much warmer, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei took off their coats.
"I have to call you Director Wu Yan this time?"
As soon as Lin Nan sat down, he joked.
Director Lin laughed, but he didn't dare to say that. I directed a "Wolf's Tooth" and lost my savings for several years. ”
"So this time?"
"Isn't this precipitated for five years, ready to fight again. It's a shame to say that he really can't find investment, so Xie Nan opened up with Yifei. ”
Speaking of this topic, Wu Yan is really a little embarrassed, a man who claims to be a real man, and relies on his girlfriend to find investment.
At this time, a team of waitresses came in, laid out the dishes, and withdrew.
These people obviously recognized a few people present, especially Liu Yifei.
"Let's talk while eating, I'm always close to what Yifei likes to eat." Xie Nan interjected with a smile.
"I see." Lin Nan was also happy.
……
Everyone chatted while eating, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei knew that Xie Nan had already gone to find Wang Changtian before, and Wu Yan had been preparing for this movie for a long time.
Because some time ago, the light announced one: "Light-Actor-New Director Project".
It's a pity that in the eyes of Wang Changtian and the evaluation team of Guangguang, Wu Yan does not meet the requirements.
As an actor, he hovered in the second and third lines, and as a director, he lost blood again, so they decisively rejected Xie Nan and Wu Yan.
Lin Nan took a sip of food, and mourned for Wang Changtian for three seconds in his heart.
"Let's talk about investment."
Lin Nan put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to speak, he came today to fight for Liu Yifei's greatest interests.
"Director Lin, please speak." Wu Yan took over the conversation, and several people stopped chopsticks.
"This movie, Yifei's Red Star Dock can be cast."
Looking at the surprised looks of the two opposites, Lin Nan added: "For your future films, we have priority investment rights." ”
"And this kind of good thing?"
Wu Yan smiled and agreed: "No problem." ”
"This Yifei can be fully invested. In the next part, let's take 40% of the investment share. Lin Nan said casually.
"No problem, it's a deal."
Wu Yan raised his glass very decisively, as if he was afraid that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei would regret it.
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei, "Go back in a while, you drive." ”
"yes, okay." Miss Liu nodded gently.
Two hours later, Lin Nan admitted that he couldn't drink Wu Yan.
After signing the contract the next day, everyone left.
That night, there were a lot of photos on the Internet, all of which were photos of everyone outside the private restaurant when everyone was separated.
Director Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Wu Yan, and Xie Nan had a dinner. Two men suspected of drinking alcohol ......"
The next day, Wu Yan and Xie Nan took professionals and went directly to Hongxingwu.
The two parties signed an investment agreement for "Wolf Warrior", which also includes a preferential investment clause for 40% of the investment share of the film in the future.

Although "Love Seattle" has been postponed for half a month, it seems that it is a little unable to run at this time.
"Director Xue Xiaolu's work, "Love in Seattle", the box office has reached 570 million, and the next release time is still early, but the daily box office has fallen to about 1 million, and the box office of 600 million is hopeless!"
"It's already very high at the box office and I'm very satisfied. Salary plus box office sharing, I can get a total of 15 million twice, which is very good. ”
When Xue Xiaolu and Lin Nan called, their tones were full of excitement.
"Teacher Xue, you don't need to wait for the theater to divide the account, the company will transfer it to you first after the screening." Lin Nan promised.
"Then you're welcome, I know you're not short of this money."
After Xue Xiaolu finished speaking, she mentioned another matter.
"I've made it up for the next few days. Just use the name of the movie and continue to make a sequel. But as you know, I'm a working teacher, and I'm usually very busy, so maybe the script will be very slow. ”
"Take your time, don't rush. Teacher Xue also saved some money, when the time comes? Lin Nan joked.
"Forget it, then. I just want to do a good job as a teacher, screenwriter and director, and I don't dare to invest in it.
How many examples are placed there, once you invest yourself, the pressure will multiply invisibly, and it will definitely affect the filming of the movie, I still get the salary and box office to share the account, safely. ”
Xue Xiaolu is also truthful and wise, and there are indeed too many such examples in the circle.
When you are a director, you are good, but when you participate in the investment, when you make a movie, you are easy to get into the horns and be hysterical.

The lawsuit between Zhou Xingchi and Huayi is progressing very quickly.
After all, this case is not complicated, the evidence collection is even simpler, and it can be regarded as a typical case in the industry, which has attracted much attention in the film and television industry.
Not surprisingly, Zhou Xingchi lost the lawsuit.
Although many people disagree and feel that Zhou Xingchi is right, the 80 million should be given to him, which he deserves.
But between morality and law, the latter will always win, and Huayi won.
At the entrance of the court, a large number of reporters surrounded Wang Zhonglei for an interview.
The latter still maintained that face-like smile, like Yue Buqun.
He said something that humiliated the entire film industry, but he didn't seem to feel ashamed at all:
"Zhou Xingchi is a complete layman, and even the judge understands the operation of movies and ...... movies better than him."
Wang Zhonglei's words are really cheap.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is deliberately humiliating Zhou Xingchi, being a man and doing things, leaving no room for room and no way back!
In the face of Huayi's ridicule, Zhou Xingchi did not choose to appeal, because it was impossible to turn the tables, and the unstamped contract had no legal effect.
He just said one sentence in front of the media: "Huayi, they are too moral......"
Huayi's behavior almost caused public outrage on the Internet, but it was useless, and there were few voices in the industry.
Only a few competitors of Huayi dare to say a few words.
"The next time Director Zhou Xingchi chooses a partner, he can consider the light, and the contemptible Wang Changtian's reputation in the industry thinks that it is still okay, which many filmmakers can testify."
"Credibility is a signboard, and obviously someone is smashing their own signboard." Qin Hong also posted on Weibo.
Next, the film and television companies and distribution companies that can be called in the circle have all run out, anyway, they are yin and yang weird without naming them.
Even Lin Nan couldn't hold back and posted a Weibo:
"In the future, when you sign a contract, you should be more rigorous and careful.
Integrity is a thing that must be guaranteed by a contract. If you trust others too much, you may suffer a big loss, just like director Zhou Xingchi. I am also looking forward to working with director Zhou Xingchi......"
Regardless of whether he has a chance to cooperate in the future, anyway, Lin Nan added a sentence, Huayi's thing is really disgusting.
…………
"Made, they are pretending to be good people one by one, hypocritical to death, give me eye medicine!"
Wang Zhongjun smashed the imported porcelain on the table and cursed.
"As long as we win the lawsuit, we get cheap, and those people can only be red-eyed." Wang Zhonglei reassured.
"Yes, it's safe to be in the bag. In terms of the efficiency of Zhou Xingchi's movie, these people still want to cooperate with him and wait for another four or five years? Hehe. ”
Wang Zhongjun said disdainfully, undisguised his ridicule of a number of film companies and distribution companies.
"In this circle, as long as we maintain our leading position, we are naturally right."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhongjun thought of something and looked at Wang Zhonglei.
"How's that going?"
"It's almost, it's still in the name of the film and television culture town, but the card is too strict for this piece, I'm afraid it will ...... then."
"Don't worry so much, support the bold, starve the cowardly."
