Huayi's ambition is really not small.

After a series of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of the year, which caused the stock price to soar, this time it actually sent an acquisition intention to Xiaoma.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately touched the nerves of all film and television companies in the entire industry.

In an interview, Wang Zhonglei was even more outspoken, revealing a domineering attitude:

"What we value is Pony's ability to produce in the TV drama field, as well as the digital kingdom in their hands.

In addition, if Ms. Zhong Lifang is willing to join the Huayi family, we will definitely welcome her......"

The circle is waiting for the pony's reply. Is it to accept a merger? Or continue to seek an independent listing?

"There is only half a year left. According to the VAM agreement signed between Xiaoma and the bank, if the listing cannot be completed before December 31.

Then they will have to pay a premium, and it is a one-time, cash repurchase of the 750 million yuan of shares invested by CCB before, which should exceed 1 billion yuan. ”

This is the biggest news in the industry at the moment, and there is no film and television company that is not paying attention.

"Xiaoma's financing party is not only CCB, their financing amount in the past five years is the highest in the industry, which is ...... more than Huayi and Bona combined."

Lin Nan muttered, and Yue Jun also nodded.

A few days ago, Xiaoma invited Lin Nan to his IPO party, but he politely declined, and in the end Yue Jun went to participate.

But only two days later, Lin Nan received a message from Xiaoma, asking him if he had any intention of investing, just like when he bought Huayi stocks.

Lin Nan spent 24 million to buy 8 million original shares of Huayi.

Now with the additional shares, according to the stock price in the secondary market, it is almost about 500 million, and it is worth making blood.

It can't be said that Lin Nan took advantage, after all, Huayi also used his reputation.

But Xiaoma, that's almost a family business, I heard that even the chairman can't say a word, Lin Nan will only go to the shares if he has a problem with his brain!

"Huayi's offer is not low, and the stock price has risen again in less than half a day since the news came out. I just don't know what kind of attitude the pony has over there. Yue Jun sighed.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Nan's mouth and said, "It's good." Maybe the top management of the pony is having a meeting right now. ”

On the one hand, it was acquired, got money and shares, and became the second-in-command on the Huayi ship;

On the other hand, it continues to take big risks to go public independently, and once it succeeds, it will be a giant.

I have to say that between these left and right thoughts, there are all tests and temptations of ambition, risk, and interests.

Light's "Fuji Detective", although it has been released for less than a month, the box office has fallen to 260 million, and there is no more progress.

The last movie "To Youth" made money, which lost it again, which made many people in the circle feel embarrassed.

In comparison, "Little Times" was released a week later than "Fuji Detective".

Although the former started high and went low, it took 13 days to stumble and break through 400 million, and the box office potential was almost exhausted, but it was already a big profit!

Moreover, sometimes you really can't underestimate the fanaticism of fans, and it is also brain-dead.

Guo Jingming and fans of "Little Times" launched an initiative on the Internet.

They called on all fans who like Guo Jingming and "Little Times" to enter the theater again and contribute to the box office of the movie.

Not to mention, as soon as this initiative came out, a large number of fans responded.

Immediately, the box office of "Little Times" was like taking medicine, and there was a trend of returning to the light.

Its daily box office directly rushed back to 20 million, which made the industry jaw-dropping, but I don't know how many days it can last?

Everyone has always heard of fan movies before, and this is probably the most straightforward fan film in China so far!

……

Liu Yifei has been a little busy in the past two days, almost always going out early and returning late.

In addition to my own announcement, I also received a public service announcement, and I heard that it is a love for small animals.

I just posted a photo on Weibo, with a black nose and beard painted on my face, cat ears on my head, and a cat outfit, very cute, and I also gave Lin Nan.

Many insiders are leaving messages and liking, and there are even more fans.

"I'll show you when I go back in the afternoon."

Liu Yifei in the video call is the shape in the photo, pink and tender, like a cat.

"Okay, I'll wait. Let's record your charity song first. ”

Lin Nan nodded his head and replied softly.

"Isn't Director Lin coming to visit Ban Yifei?"

Several actors on Liu Yifei's side who were also recording public service announcements greeted Lin Nan through their mobile phones.

"No, I'm going to get in the way and affect you."

It seems that the director is shouting over there, and although Miss Liu is reluctant, she still decisively hangs up the phone.

"Don't tell you, I'm going to get to work."

"That's okay, Producer Liu, you're busy, call me if you have something, hehe......" Lin Nan quipped.

…………

From the announcement of the project to the casting momentum, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", which has been hyped for months, has finally started.

This game adaptation of the Xianxia drama, in the eyes of the industry, meets all the elements of success.

"The large-scale costume fairy drama "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" starring Yang Mi, Li Yifeng, Ma Tianyu, Qiao Zhenyu and others starring Huanrui Main Control, Guangguang, International Television Corporation, etc., was officially launched in Hengdian Film and Television City at noon today."

"After 5 years, Yang Mi starred in the Xianxia drama again, and "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" will surpass the "Fairy Sword" series ......"

In the face of reporters' questions, Yang Mi refused to answer questions related to "Little Times".

……

Returning to the office from Tiangong Color, Lin Nan answered the phone while brushing the news.

Tom is a night owl, and it is appropriate to call Lin Nan at night, because it happens to be daytime in China.

"Lin, the regular Oscar registration has ended."

Lin Nan understands what this means. That is, the PR of the shortlisted films, which can be planned and even carried out.

"The Appian Road believes that it is necessary to set the release schedule of the film first, and the public relations and public screening will not be delayed."

"What about time?"

To be honest, this is the first time that a film directed by Lin Nan has been released in North America.

The previous two foreign language films were sold directly at the film festival, and he didn't care much about the follow-up.

"Lionsgate's suggestion is for a release on December 1, which is when the awards season officially begins."

Lin Nan thought about it, this time is indeed appropriate, and it is also the time to be shortlisted for the film selection, and the list of nominees will be announced in mid-January.

"I'll come over when the time is okay."

At this time, Lin Nan already had a plan in his heart, and after a trip to the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, he had to go to Hollywood.

"Lin, there's the most important thing." Tom quipped.

"Huh?"

As soon as he said it, Lin Nan patted his head and was negligent. The most important thing in public relations is money.

"Haha, sorry Tom, I forgot. What do PR agencies say? ”

"Crystal Pictures and Appian Road have been in contact with three established PR firms in total. The budget offers they gave were $12 million, $13 million, and $15 million.

They are all familiar with Oscar PR, and there are successes and failures. Lin, I have to remind you that it's just the budget! ”

Tom focused on the last sentence.

According to the system of Crystal Pictures, such a large sum of money, even if it is shared equally with the Appian Ancient Road, it must be agreed by Lin Nan, because this is not the production investment of the movie.

"I guess, Leon should choose the one with 15 million dollars, right?"

Lin Nan ignored Tom's reminder and diverted the topic.

"Haha, yes. He was very decisive in choosing the most expensive one, let me ask your opinion. ”

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh.

It is estimated that if there is another 20 million US dollars, Xiao Lizi will definitely give priority to 20 million dollars.

"Reply to Leon for me, I agree with his choice, just choose the $15 million one."

"Okay, Lin. I'm really looking forward to you being the best director at the Oscar. In that case, the company's influence will be greater. ”

Tom's tone was filled with a hint of excitement and excitement, clearly already longing.

"It's convenient for you to hook up with actresses, right?"

"Dear Lin, don't slander me like that, I just want you to succeed purely, hahaha......"

This laughter fully exposed Tom's true thoughts, that is, what Lin Nan thought!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan was also thinking about the entry of "The Invisible Guest" into China.

"Let's take the form of a batch of films......"

…………

Entering July, the big news in the film industry is one after another.

When Han Sanping was in the crew of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", the "Taiping Wheel" that he had been thinking about finally started.

This should be the most high-profile film project in the Chinese film industry in the second half of the year!

"Jointly produced by China Film, Xiaoma, LeTV, and Huayi, directed by Wu Yusen, and starring Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Song Hye Kyo, Huang Xiaoming and others, the epic blockbuster "Taiping Wheel" was officially launched today."

"Han Sanping, chairman of China Film, together with Huayi Wang Zhonglei, LeTV Zhang Zhao, Xiaoma Li Ming and others, delivered a speech!"

"It is reported that the initial investment of the epic blockbuster "Taiping Wheel" is as high as 400 million, and the filming will be made into two ......"

"Director Wu Yusen bluntly said that "Taiping Wheel" will be the "Titanic" of the East!"

The industry is like a fried pot, most of the actors and artists in the film and television industry have posted articles on the Internet to promote "Taiping Wheel", and the sedan chair is raised high!

……

"The last big stone in my heart finally landed. If there are any projects in the next two months, I will also push them to others. ”

When Han Sanping and Lin Nan were talking on the phone, a trace of relaxation could be heard in their voices.

Lin Nan thought about it, and didn't say anything to strike: "Then congratulations to Han Dong, you have nothing to do." ”

"Easy? Hehe, "Tai Chi Man" is not easy. You kid rejected me at the beginning, and now it seems that you did the right thing to refuse! ”

Han Sanping laughed at himself again, this movie is over.

invested 150 million, and only got 10 million box office in three days, what else to do?

This kind of bad movie and bad box office, Lin Nan is really hard to answer, so he simply diverted the topic.

"Han Dong, is there any quota for this year's batch of films?"

"Batch films? Are you going to buy a movie to come in? ”

"My "Invisible Guest" will be released in North America in December, and I want to introduce it to China in the form of a batch of films." Lin Nan did not hide it.

"There are still places for this year, but I suggest that you go to La Xiangkang at the end of the year and ask him for next year's quota for films."

Han Sanping paused when he said this, "I mean, you know, right?" ”

Lin Nan was just stunned for a moment, and then understood Han Sanping's intentions: "I understand, thank you Han Dong." ”

I really have to thank Han Sanping, it's all here, and he's still mentioning Lin Nan's interpersonal contacts.

The cooperation with the new chairman can start from the number of film approvals, and the more you mix, the more familiar you are!
