Chapter 577: On the road of capital, running farther and farther
The domestic media is constantly reprinting Hollywood movie information.
Directed by Lin Nan, starring Leonardo, Naomi Watts, and Jessica Chastain.
The Oscar-winning film "The Invisible Guest" was released in the North American market for two weeks, and the total box office received a total of $162 million......"
Every time the box office data of "The Invisible Guest" is updated, it always makes the mainland film industry sigh and scold for a while.
Because in the past, domestic blockbusters were released in North America, which producer didn't cover the box office results as much as possible?
I am afraid that the domestic media will "talk nonsense" on the Internet and let the audience and netizens know.
Even when asked head-on, the filmmaker said in a general and vague way that "the film was a big hit at the box office in the North American market", which was perfunctory.
I never dared to disclose data to the outside world, because I couldn't afford to lose that person, and I was afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed inside and outside the circle.
Moreover, this kind of operation is already the default unspoken rule in the industry.
But Lin Nan's foreign language films this time are not subject to this unspoken rule, because they can't be constrained by Hollywood.
But there is a very key problem, Lin Nan is a mainland director! Netizens unconsciously compared him with other domestic directors.
It's okay now, it's okay not to compare, but as soon as you compare, you will find a problem, other directors and film companies are really incompetent and wasteful!
Immediately, the group ridicule mode was naturally turned on the Internet......
"The daily box office is falling very quickly, and we estimate that it may be cut in half in the third week, and then stabilize for a while."
As soon as he got up at nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan received a call from Tom. The public relations party in Hollywood has just begun.
"As long as the box office can exceed $200 million in the first month, I will be satisfied, and how much can I have after that, let's talk about it, you keep an eye on it." Lin Nan said with a yawn.
"Well, don't worry, Lin, everything is OK. Then I won't disturb your rest. ”
"You don't want me to disturb your party, do you? Tom. ”
"Hahaha, Lin, don't say it."
Tom's snarful laughter came from the phone, and a woman could be faintly heard calling out to him, and the sound gave goosebumps.
"This guy is really hopeless......"
Lin Nan shook his head with a smile, ready to wash up and go out.
Ten minutes later, he casually clicked on the entertainment news and found that the front-page information in the circle today was quite lively.
It seems that the Capital TV has sent an official letter to the higher authorities, asking for strong condemnation of the behavior of someone who said cross talk for insulting the deceased, and there has been progress.
This kind of thing is really impossible to say, and it is difficult to explain it.
Three years ago, Capital TV reported on the illegal encroachment of private villas on public green space, triggering a series of "conflicts".
As a result, a cross talk club was named by major official media, closed down, and rectified for a long time.
This grudge, which lasted for more than three years, should have ended at the end of last month, because the director at the time was terminally ill and left.
But on the other side, there was obviously no intention of stopping, and the next day he posted a red double happiness on Weibo, made a limerick, and celebrated happily.
As long as you are not a fool, you can see who he is targeting, and public opinion on the Internet has been around for a while, and the impact is extremely bad.
No, the TV Literature and Art Working Committee under the China Broadcasting Association officially issued an announcement this morning:
He strongly demanded that the crosstalk speakers apologize to the deceased and his family, and called on nearly 400 television stations across the country to "give up" attention to the person.
What does it mean to "give up" attention, the subtext is soft blocking.
I have to say that the ideal is very full, but the reality is often about interests.
The China Broadcasting Association is only a public institution, not an administrative unit, and I am afraid that not many TV stations will take care of it, especially those satellite TV channels.
…………
The promotion of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has been temporarily stopped.
Because Han Sanping, Guo Wan, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Bingbing and others have been running propaganda for more than half a month, it's time to rest.
Speaking of which, Han Sanye is really "duplicitous".
When he was asked to follow the publicity, he was quite reluctant, and "pretended to be reserved" and said that he would only participate in a few games.
As a result, he really started to publicize, but he didn't fall behind, and he was more dedicated than anyone else.
Lin Nan can't rest, he should come to the company, and there are a lot of chores at the end of the year.
However, as soon as he arrived at the company, he heard that Feng Xiaogang's "Private Custom" had a small problem.
"The premiere time was postponed from the 14th to the 17th, and Wang Zhonglei said that he would do his best to ensure the normal release on the 19th."
"Why is that?" Lin Nan was a little puzzled.
"I heard that it was the result of the bureau's temporary review, and the specific reason seems to be that some of Fan Wei's lines are too naked and contain a lot of 'sensitive content'."
"Sensitive content? That's an emergency deletion! ”
Lin Nan remembers the role played by Fan Wei, as if he was a driver who dreamed of being a leader of a "clean official"?
Then this can make sense, after all, the screenwriter of the movie is Wang Shuo.
This guy must have alluded to too much content in real officialdom, his words were sharp, and he touched people or things that shouldn't be touched.
"That's right, Director Lin. , I'm asking about the annual meeting again, hehe......"
Yue Jun's laughter contained a lot of information, Lin Nan could guess what these people wanted to do, and they were addicted?
"From "Love in Seattle" at the beginning of the year to "One Man's Martial Arts", and then to "Time and Space Love Traveler", the box office alone added up to 1.66 billion ......"
As he spoke, Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and nodded with a smile:
"Just like last year, let the employees on both sides come up with their own ideas and put them together to see which artists they want to perform this year."
"Haha, okay, Director Lin. I'll let them know later. ”
Not long after Yue Jun left the office, another call came.
Lin Nan is a little annoyed, since returning to China a few days ago, he has received no less than 5 calls every day!
"Huh? This is a real rarity. ”
Looking at the three words "Cao Guowei" on the mobile phone screen, Lin Nan muttered softly, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Dong Cao?"
"Haha, Director Lin, I called me rashly, it didn't affect my work, right?"
"No, I just arrived at the company not long ago, is there something wrong with Dong Cao?"
Lin Nan asked directly.
Although he has shares in Weibo, to be precise, he and Cao Guowei do not belong to the same industry.
Of course, the two don't usually communicate much, except when they make additional investments.
Hearing Lin Nan's question, Cao Guowei first laughed heartily, and then spoke:
"Thank you Director Lin for his investment in Sina at the beginning of Weibo, which has given us momentum. Now among the three, it can basically be said that we are the only one. ”
Lin Nan frowned unconsciously, he was a little confused, Cao Guowei is looking for himself to recall the past?
"Director Lin, do you remember the special terms when we signed the share transfer agreement?"
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously: "Remember, I authorize the voting rights to Chairman Cao, and I have the right to make additional investments so that the shares will not be diluted......"
Speaking of this, Lin Nan's voice stopped abruptly.
His eyes widened instantly, and he realized something!
"Cao Dong, you, Weibo?"
"Hahaha, Director Lin, have you had several rounds of additional investment before you reacted?"
Cao Guowei's words made Lin Nan excited and didn't know what to say.
"Yes, IPO?"
"Yes, we plan to submit an IPO application in the first half of next year."
Cao Guowei's tone suddenly became more serious: "Director Lin, I need you to add another agreement." ”
"What agreement?"
"The shares in Director Lin's hands are the original shares of Weibo when it was first established, and after we go public, we plan to use a two-tier shareholding structure.
Therefore, I hope that Director Lin will come over and improve the contract again, not interfere in the company's operation, and continue to authorize me with future voting rights, and if I want to sell shares in the future, I must also give priority to selling to the founding team......"
Cao Guowei continued to talk about his business, but Lin Nan couldn't listen anymore.
His mind was full of words like "IPO," "original shares," and "two-tier equity structure."
"Director Lin, how's it going?"
Lin Nan was awakened from his distraction, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, it's okay, I'll take the time to bring someone over in the next few days." ”
"Okay, Director Lin, I'll greet you in the company. There's one more thing, though. ”
Hearing Lin Nan's affirmative reply, Cao Guowei's tone changed from serious to soft.
"What?"
"This year's Weibo night is in the middle of next month. Director Lin and Producer Liu came over this time to have a show, hehe......"
Lin Nan nodded his head and agreed decisively: "Okay, no problem." ”
It wasn't until twenty minutes after the two sides hung up the phone that Lin Nan recovered from his joy.
"It's not easy, it's not in vain that I've followed it from its inception to the present, and the right to speak is basically stable!"
Suddenly, a thought popped up in Lin Nan's mind, he seemed to be running farther and farther on the road of capital.
"Big capital, it's good, at least it can ensure that Sissi and I don't have to look at anyone's face in the circle! Or even ......"
…………
What La's accompaniment said when he called Lin Nan before was also officially announced, and the media forwarded and reported it one after another.
"Disney's 3D animated movie "Frozen" starring Liu Yifei has been confirmed to be released on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, in domestic time!"
Disney said that Liu Yifei's dubbing performance was very exciting, and she will continue to cooperate in the future......"
As the leading performer, Miss Liu was the first to forward and recommend on Weibo:
"It's a pleasure to be able to dub and star in Frozen, and I would like to thank Lin Nan and Disney here.
I hope that when you go to the theater to watch "Frozen" during the Spring Festival, you will enjoy my dubbing performance.
In addition, let me inform you: there are two versions of dubbing in Chinese and English, you can choose according to your preference, thank you. ”
Within a few moments of Liu Yifei's Weibo being issued, a large number of actors, artists or companies in the industry began to forward, like and leave messages, and for a while, it was extremely lively.
However, the news that "Frozen" is scheduled for February 5 has also been teased by many friends and netizens in the circle to ridicule Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.
"I found an interesting thing, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and "Frozen" was released on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, on the same schedule!"
"Good guy, Lin Nan's main theme movie is going to clash head-on with Yifei's animated film and grab the audience! This is the first time, right? ”
"Lao Zhu, can you speak? What is a head-on conflict? That's love and killing, okay, haha......"
"As one of the leading actors, I should have supported "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", but Producer Liu, I can't afford to offend."
"Xiao Ming, you are such a chicken thief. Yifei, although Lin Nan is indeed a strong pervert, but sister, I still support you, fuck him! ”
"I'd rather offend the director than the director's wife, this is not a multiple choice, this is a single choice - Huang Xiaoming!" Fan Bingbing commented, and Sect Leader Aite Huang.
"Producer Liu, come on, bring down Director Lin."
"On behalf of "Wolf Warrior", I support the producer and Producer Liu!"
"Sissi, beat Lin Nan." Shu Zhan jumped a little again.
……
Lin Nan looked at the comments on Weibo, she really wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, speechless!
Liu Yifei's side was full of encouragement and "sycophancy", and there were even a lot of "damages" to him.
But Lin Nan's own side, why is it all out of tune?
What: "Durian and keyboard, right?" "Do you want a box office or a girlfriend? "Persuade Lin Dao to do it yourself! ”……
"Who are these people?" Lin Nan chuckled and complained.
I believe that many producers in the circle have very opinions.
This Spring Festival, there is another big-budget animated movie, which is still Hollywood Disney.
The most important thing is that with the influence of Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, "Frozen" rubbed on the popularity of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and the publicity effect took off instantly, which was completely unreasonable.
On the other hand, movies such as "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Macau Fengyun", and "Dahua Tianxian" are also forced to increase publicity efforts.
In the afternoon, Lin Nan drove home, humming a small song with incomplete tones throughout the whole process, and he was in a very good mood.
After all, I learned the news of Weibo's IPO from Cao Guowei today, how can I not be excited?
Liu Yifei sat on the cradle of the garden in a pink down jacket, basking in only a trace of warm sunshine, holding a tablet in her arms and chatting happily.
Seeing Lin Nan's figure, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face, and she reached out to pat the position next to her, "Come on." ”
"Sissi, wait a minute."
Lin Nan shook her mobile phone, and Miss Liu instantly understood, there was a phone.
It was Hugo's phone.
"Call me, is there something wrong?"
"Director Lin, I got the male number one in "Langya Bang"."
For this result, Lin Nan was not surprised at all.
That "Langya Bang" is about ancient costume conspiracy dramas, but it is more inclined to ancient puppet dramas, with all elements, and a bit of revenge.
In terms of costume TV series actors who can play, there are only a few in the circle, and Hu Ge is the only one who is familiar with Lin Nan.
"Sure?"
"Producer Hou said that the final list of fixed angles still needs Lin Nan to make a decision." Hugo said with a smile.
"yes, I'll watch it again. But since it's you, it's no problem, congratulations. ”
"Haha, thank you Director Lin."
