Chapter 582: It's New Year's Day Again

On the morning of the 30th, Pony Galloping released a long announcement on the official website and Weibo at the same time.

The content of the announcement looks back on Pony's journey to the market over the years.

Since getting an investment of 40 million US dollars in 08, it has been aiming to land on the NASDAQ or A shares.

At the beginning of 11 years, in order to speed up the pace of listing, it signed a listing VAM agreement with CCB Cultural Investment with an investment of 750 million yuan.

Now that the time of 3 years has passed, they regret and are extremely disappointed to inform the outside world that due to a series of reasons, Xiaoma has not been able to complete the listing within the specified time limit in accordance with the content of the contract......

An announcement shook the entire film and television industry.

Because everyone originally thought that the announcement issued by Xiaoma would be the news that it had successfully acquired a listed company and would be listed on the backdoor.

After all, in the middle of the year, Zhong Lifang also represented Xiaoma and rejected Huayi's acquisition intention domineeringly, which was called a high-spirited person at that time!

As a result, in a blink of an eye, what I was waiting for was the news that the listing had failed?

This is no small matter.

You must know that in the mainland film and television industry, under the listed companies, Xiaoma is one of the top private companies.

The failure of the listing means that it must immediately take out more than 1 billion in cash in accordance with the VAM agreement and buy back the shares of Xiaoma purchased by CCB Cultural Investment with an investment of 750 million yuan three years ago.

Is this possible?

"It's completely impossible! What film and television company can come up with so much money at once? Huayi is impossible, even if it can be taken out, it will take a long time to turnover. ”

Yue Jun sat in Lin Nan's office and said with an oath.

"I guess at this time, the companies in the circle are discussing this matter, right?" Lin Nan chuckled.

The pony lost the bet, but the money has already been spent, where is the money to buy back the shares?

Capital will not have mercy on you, it will only seize the time to suck the marrow and try to recover as much loss as possible from the pony and leave it with a huge debt.

"The pattern of film and television companies in the industry is going to change, at least the pony will fall out of the first echelon, and even the second echelon. It is not even ruled out that some peers may fall straight into the ground. ”

Yue Jun glanced at the news on the tablet and felt something.

"If the pony didn't gamble at the beginning, even if it wasn't successful now, it would still be a big company in the circle, where would there be so many bad things?"

"Haha, where are so many ifs. According to what you say, wouldn't it be more comfortable if you agreed to sell it to Huayi half a year ago? With a huge amount of money, you can directly become a shareholder and executive of a listed company! ”

Lin Nan was happy.

It's really like the rumors in the circle, since the bet, the pony has been constantly unlucky, and always passes by the correct answer.

At this time, I am afraid that the eyes of many companies in the industry are glowing green. Ponies are like stripped girls, looked at and coveted by a crowd.

The news in the mainland film and television industry is dazzling, and Hollywood movie information is also constantly being transmitted back to China.

"The Invisible Guest" took four weeks and grossed $220 million in North America.

According to Tom on the phone, the daily box office has dropped by one million, and the revenue has been reported to be more than $8000.

And after the end of these three days at the end of the month, the theater chain will retain the lowest film schedule, and then report the box office account once a month.

Lin Nan knows that the box office of this movie is almost here, and it depends on whether he can be nominated or even won in half a month.

Even if there are only nominations, "The Invisible Guest" will have a second spring.

Outside of North America, European rights will sell at a good price, and the theater chain will always remain in a state of thin water.

"Regardless of whether you can nominate or not, you still have to go to the Berlin Film Festival's trading market."

…………

In addition to "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", several other Spring Festival movies have started the final promotional sprint.

Especially the "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" produced by Hong Kong Island, all kinds of behind-the-scenes footage, focusing on Donnie Yen's makeup video, which is vigorously put out.

The meaning I want to express is very clear: in this movie, they are very attentive, and Donnie Yen is not easy!

Every time I put on makeup, it takes five hours just to apply the hair.

After the whole play, 20 inverted molds before and after, more than 70 Hollywood makeup artists spent thousands of hours of makeup, and more than 200 kilograms of monkey hair consumables were used!

Not to mention, this data sounds really shocking to the audience.

Donnie Yen should also regard this movie as his future career, the hope of breaking the kettle and fighting back.

He changed his "cold" style in the past, and rarely launched Weibo frequently, trying his best to "please" the audience and fans.

It's just that this kind of suddenly, quick success and quick profit, in the eyes of the mainland film and television industry, is really funny and ironic.

I used to be high up and look down on this and look down on that.

Now that you're down, you've begun to put down your body and wag your tail to beg for mercy? is still the mainland netizens and viewers he has always looked down on!

In the blink of an eye, the year has passed.

On the morning of New Year's Day, Lin Nan slept lazily.

Because I went to cheer for Lama last night, I attended the premiere dinner of a Chinese-British co-production "Prehistoric Monster".

In the face of the toasts of many foreign actors, Lin Nan couldn't hide, and he was a little drunk at the end, and he was brought back by Liu Yifei.

"Sympathize with Ladong, and I have to clean up the mess of a garbage movie."

Lin Nan yawned, complained, and went to take a bath.

Outside, at nine o'clock in the morning, the noon sun officially announced the list of fixed angles of "Langya Bang".

Even the boot time was announced, that is, after the Spring Festival holiday.

On the Internet, both fans of the original work and viewers are looking forward to it.

After all, Hu Ge really has a good appeal in costume TV series.

Originally, Lin Nan wanted to see if Miss Liu had gotten up, but when she came to the next door, she found out that Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan had gone out early in the morning, each with their own announcements.

"Oops, I remember, today is New Year's Day!"

Lin Nan patted his head and muttered with a smile.

On a festival like New Year's Day, how could brands not be active? The eight-figure endorsement fee is not taken for nothing.

In his pocket, there was a buzzing sound, and Lin Nan took out his mobile phone, it was Huang Bo.

"Yes, this year's New Year's greeting time, you have advanced from the Lunar New Year to the Gregorian calendar?"

"Haha, yes, I wish Director Lin a happy New Year. When I went back to the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first year of junior high school, I would do it again. ”

Huang Bo's laughter was very hearty, but Lin Nan could hear that he should have something else to do.

"Don't talk about these things, let's talk about it, how do you call early in the morning? What's the matter? ”

"Director Lin, it's almost 11 o'clock now......

"Oh, it's all a minor issue, let's get down to business."

"How about I invite Director Lin to lunch?"

Hearing Huang Bo's words, Lin Nan paused, it seems that there is really something serious!

"Okay, send the address."

An hour later, Lin Nan met Huang Bo at a hot pot restaurant near Nortel.

The latter is wearing a jacket, and he really doesn't have the slightest temperament of a first-line actor and actor, just like an ordinary person.

"When I was still in school in my freshman and sophomore years, Lao Zhu and Luo Jin often played autumn breezes, so I was here to entertain."

Huang Bo and Lin Nan followed the waiter and walked to the private room.

You can see that in the lobby on the first floor, there are still many Nortel students chatting while eating.

They didn't notice Lin Nan and the others wearing masks who walked by.

"Who called Director Lin at that time, he was already famous." Huang Bo quipped quietly.

Entering the private room, there is naturally a waiter to arrange everything, and there are separate ingredients here, which can be matched by yourself.

When everyone else went out and the two began to move their chopsticks, Lin Nan spoke.

"I have nothing to do, the movie I want to make later, but I can't stuff it, it's a foreign language film." Lin Nan made a joke.

"I'm here, is it a windfall? It is estimated that no one in the circle knows Director Lin's new film plan, right? ”

"Almost, Yifei knows about it in China."

Lin Nan chuckled and nodded, and looked at Huang Bo again:

"Tell me, I don't believe it, you just invited me to dinner. If it's just for dinner, Ning Hao will also be called to them. ”

Huang Bo gave a thumbs up and sighed twice, "Director Lin is amazing." ”

He poured two slices of beef into the pot and said:

"Xu Zheng came to me yesterday to talk about "Hong Kong". I wonder if Director Lin doesn't interfere in this movie at all? ”

Lin Nan subconsciously replied: "The copyright is all given to him, I only enjoy 20% of the final shareable box office and 20% of other peripheral income, and I have no right to interfere in the rest of the things." ”

When the words landed, I saw Huang Bo's expression stretch instantly, as if he was still a little happy?

"Then I'll know, thank you Director Lin."

"Thank me? Thank me for what? At this moment, Lin Nan was stunned.

"I want to talk to Xu Zheng and participate in the account sharing ...... in the form of zero remuneration or even additional investment."

Huang Bo was blunt, said his thoughts with a smile, and he could hear it in his tone, he had already made up his mind!

Lin Nan listened to Huang Boxu babbling like this, and couldn't interject in the middle.

Until one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan was still in a trance.

Huang Bo's idea is very firm, but who is Xu Zheng? How can it be that simple?

"Alas......"

Lin Nan really can't say anything, so let Huang Bo try it himself.

…………

At noon, the Film Academy sent out the 14-year art examination enrollment brochure, and sure enough, it recruited more and more year by year.

Although there are only a few more undergraduate places in the performance department, the enrollment places for other related majors in the acting school have increased by nearly 100.

Not to mention those majors such as dubbing and animation.

The doorway is self-evident.

After all, to be an actor, you don't necessarily have to be a professional actor.

First of all, you have to find a way to blend in with this circle, and then it depends on everyone's fate, namely: opportunities and "background".

It has been a month since the release of "The Invisible Guest", and mainland media have reprinted Hollywood information.

Directed by Lin Nan, starring Leonardo, Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts,

The foreign-language film "The Invisible Guest" was released in North America for a month, and the total box office has accumulated 222.8 million US dollars. ”

"Jointly produced by Crystal Pictures and Lionsgate, the R-rated love movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" officially landed in North America and will be released in many countries and regions in the future."

The Academy announced that the list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards will be announced on the 16th of this month. Director Lin Nan and director Feng Xiaogang will compete for the regular award nomination and the Best Foreign Language Film award nomination respectively. ”

Not only will the Oscars announce the shortlist on the 16th, but the Berlin International Film Festival will also choose the list of public nominees in the middle of the month.

The mainland film industry suddenly became excited.

Because this year, there are several big directors competing for awards on both sides, which is exciting to think about.

The sunset dyed half of the sky red, and Lin Nan waited for Liu Yifei like a lonely person, and it was estimated that she would be back soon.

He sat in the garden, watching a group of cats and dogs frolicking around and answering the phone.

"Didn't you see it, Director Ning was also nervous? Ha ha. ”

", this is a golden bear, my first time. Speaking of which, you fought to the end twice, and you still didn't miss the Golden Bear? ”

Ning Hao retorted, and for a while, Lin Nan actually had nothing to say.

"But at least, I got two Silver Bear trophies for Best Director, didn't I? Next time, maybe it's a golden bear. ”

"Next time? Then I'm not sure, this time I can get the Golden Bear directly! Ning Hao complained.

"Wait, Berlin is two days ahead of the Oscars, and it's time to nominate it, remember to have a treat." Lin Nan smiled and took the conversation.

Sure enough, hearing this, Ning Hao was in a much better mood.

"Haha, no problem. But then again, even if I wasn't nominated, I would have had to go over and sell the rights after the opening with No Man's Land......"

The movement of the car in the distance attracted Lin Nan's attention, it was Hongxingwu's nanny car.

"Okay, Sissi is back, I won't talk to you." Lin Nan was about to hang up the phone in an instant.

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately scolded with a smile:

"Okay, your uncle, it's enough! When you get married, you'll know how happy it is to be able to talk to your friends for an extra minute......

Without waiting for Ning Hao to finish speaking, Lin Nan hung up, "After marriage, I won't hide from debts......

At the entrance of the villa, the car door opens.

Liu Yifei jumped down in a green down jacket, with the ball head, thinking that she had just come back from the crew.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Liu Yifei grinned, jumped to Lin Nan in three or two steps, wrapped her arms around his neck, and snuggled up.

"Yes, waiting for the sunset, waiting for you."

This answer seems to be very good.

Miss Liu hugged Lin Nan's arm beautifully, "Well, let's go, let's go back, today's event is interesting......"

……

At night, Lin Nan was finally not alone here, Shu advocated this light bulb, and shook his eyes for several days!

After a long absence, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei spent a shameless night, and it was not until the second half of the night that the two were exhausted and hugged each other and fell asleep.

"I ...... To ...... in the afternoon ...... in the afternoon" Liu Yifei shrank in Lin Nan's arms, talking in her dreams, naively.

Lin Nan wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't lift his energy, "Well, sleep...... Sleep...... bar. ”

I don't know how long it has been, it should be three poles in the sun, right?

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone in the dream became the reality, and Lin Nan was woken up.

And Liu Yifei shrunk in the quilt, only the tips of her hair were exposed, obviously avoiding the "noise".

Lin Nan knew that if the phone rang again, Miss Liu would probably lose her temper.

He quickly touched the phone, muted it, got out of bed gently, tiptoed outside, and closed the door.

"Shh......h

Lin Nan's heart was lifted and put down.

"I said Director Yue, disturbing people's dreams in the morning, it's very lacking in morality!"

"Uh...... Director Lin, it's half past eleven......"

Lin Nan removed the phone from his ear and glanced at it. Well, it's almost 12 o'clock, and I got up late for two days in a row!

"What's the matter?"

"Director Lin, in the early hours of the morning, something big happened!"
