Chapter 585: De-simplification of the film and sell it
Lin Nan became the first mainland director to be nominated for four Oscars.
This news completely ignited the entire domestic film and television circle in just one day.
From the Film Bureau to ordinary netizens, the film and television entertainment industry is the most restless.
In the past few days, Liu Yifei has also been ridiculed by many people, asking her to prepare the Oscar red carpet dress and "go out" with Lin Nan when the time comes.
Even many of Miss Liu's brands took the initiative to ask, and the meaning was very clear, dresses, jewelry, and accessories could be prepared in advance.
Lin Nan couldn't help but wonder, should these brands give him a reward?
In the end, he magically found that because of his reasons, there were many more high-end brands that had recently come to Hongxingwu to discuss cooperation!
Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
Several domestic films that have attracted much attention have also come to an end.
"Private Custom" ended with 713 million, and "New Police Story 2013" had a total box office of 534 million, and these two movies are the top two in the Chinese New Year file.
At this point, the Spring Festival stalls are about to begin.
"Tonight's company's annual meeting, is Director Lin coming?"
Lin Nan didn't go to the company for several days, because there were many media reporters squatting downstairs in the company.
Just block him once, and as a result, these people are still enjoying it again and again!
"Forget it, if I go, everyone will have a lot of fun. South Korea is all docked? β
Hearing Lin Nan's question, Yue Jun smiled:
"It's all done, T-ara, KARA, AOA, Girls' Generation, f(x), and SISTAR are all there, enough for a three-hour show."
Perhaps thinking of something, Yue Jun continued to add:
"Now the Korean Wave is too crazy, and all the David New Year's Eve parties are men's and women's groups. That is, at the invitation of our company, several of their girl groups specially adjusted the schedule. β
Lin Nan nodded, Yue Jun was right.
The girl groups and boy groups in South Korea have almost swept the domestic market, with countless fans, and many entertainment companies in the mainland have no power to fight back.
After confirming with Yue Jun again that there was no problem with the premiere of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", Lin Nan hung up the phone.
Outside, the information of the film and television industry is constantly refreshing.
Yu Zheng personally promoted the opening ceremony of the new drama, and the stars followed, and the news quickly occupied the headlines.
"Jointly produced by CCTV, Dongyang Film and Television, and produced by Yu Zheng Studio, the costume TV series "The Legend of Ban Shu" was officially launched in Hengdian Film and Television City this morning."
"Jing Tian stepped off the big screen for the first time and will play the role of the big heroine Ban Shu, looking forward to her wonderful performance."
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment when he saw this news, and he actually thought of the role of the Nihuang County Lord in the previous "Langya Bang".
It seems that Jing Tian can also do it? After all, in "Warring States", she played a female general!
"It's a pity."
After all, "The Legend of Ban Shu" is a project that was set a few months ago, and Lin Nan naturally didn't think about her when she was casting in "Langya Bang".
Thinking about it carefully at this time, Jing Tian can indeed be a candidate for the Nihuang County Lord, at least younger than Liu Tao!
"It's a shame indeed."
β¦β¦
At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei ran to Lin Nan with a smile on her face and asked him:
"Do you want to go out to dinner with me? Someone treated. β
Lin Nan was a little confused: "Who?" Would you please or please me? β
"Of course you invite me, you are at most a family member, you can follow to eat and drink."
Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Nan still looked puzzled, Miss Liu explained with a smile: "Xie Nan has received the certificate, and I want to invite everyone to a big meal." β
Good guys, Wu Yan and Xie Nan will get the certificate quietly? There's no wind outside!
"Who are they?" Lin Nan asked.
"It's Liu Yan. Well, Xie Nan invited it alone, and the man didn't know. β
Liu Yifei blinked and looked at Lin Nan.
"Then I won't go, it's all women."
Lin Nan shook his head, what would he say if he went? It's really like following Liu Yifei to eat and drink?
"Really?"
Liu Yifei lifted her chin lightly, pretending to be threatening.
"No, no." Lin Nan was very determined.
"Hmph, don't pull it down, I'll go by myself, you're hungry."
After speaking, Liu Yifei led her army, turned around arrogantly, and prepared to go back to change clothes.
Lin Nan looked at her slender figure walking away, and shook his head with a smile, "Wu Yan's action is very fast." β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Wu Qian and Xie Nan disclosed the news of obtaining the certificate on Weibo, which made the film and television circle before Chinese New Year's Eve a little more lively.
However, the most eye-catching ones are Zhang Yimou's "Return" and Jiang Wen's "One Step Away", which were also announced at the same time and entered post-production.
It is foreseeable in the film industry that the works of these two great directors will be released within this year.
Other companies have to think carefully when setting the schedule.
Lin Nan Films, Tiangong Color and Shanhai Media, for two consecutive years, have held annual meetings with the help of many popular first-line girl groups.
This kind of "grand occasion" has really attracted a lot of attention from the entertainment industry and the Internet, and many media are stationed outside, with long guns and short guns.
Weibo has turned into a platform for real-time updates.
"It's time for Lin Nan Pictures to hold its annual meeting every year, last year was full of long legs, and this year is the same! Brothers, look at the picture and watch the video......"
"T-ara is sexier than when it was ...... young"
"Fart, Yun'er is the most beautiful!"
"Song Qian, the captain of f(x), this flexibility is invincible!"
"I'm going to hit ten ......"
"It's just me wondering, why don't you invite a boy band? Super JuniorγEXOβ¦β¦ Lin Nan Pictures is not bad for money. β
"The boys'! Director Lin didn't like it. β
"Upstairs, how do you speak? Don't insult our ......"
"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy, concentrate on looking at your legs and looking at your ......"
β¦β¦
Lin Nan glanced at the excitement of the media and Weibo, and didn't look at it anymore, they were all "perverts".
Most people in the circle are still lamenting the wealth of Lin Nan Pictures, and tens of millions of dollars have been thrown out.
"Rest early, I'll have business tomorrow."
After muttering a word, Lin Nan decisively went to bed.
Following.
Lin Nan was woken up by the alarm clock early in the morning.
Today's headlines in the film and television industry, you don't have to guess to know that it must be the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Huayi Group and the shareholders' meeting, and the annual meeting is only incidental.
After all, Huayi is the first independently listed film and television company in the domestic film and television industry, and now it is the leader among private film and television enterprises.
Generally, the company's annual meeting is held in the evening, which is more appropriate and lively.
But obviously, Huayi's focus this time is the company's 20th anniversary celebration and shareholders' meeting, which has to be placed in the morning, which means better.
At nine o'clock, Lin Nan, who was dressed in casual clothes, did not bring an assistant, but drove directly to the destination - a five-star hotel chartered by Huayi.
Not to mention, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei made a lot of pomp this time.
In addition to the banners outside the hotel, there is also a 20-meter red carpet, lined with dense, hundreds of square meters of flowers and potted plants.
A large number of hostesses and security personnel, as well as dozens of media outlets, were busy outside the venue.
The filmmakers, producers, actors and stars in the circle who have a relationship with Huayi or cooperate with or are invited entered the venue one by one, most of them are big names, including Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
Many people from the financial circle and Internet companies are also mixed in.
"Director Lin, congratulations. The Oscars in early March, but you must win the cup. β
"Thank you, Director Xu is polite."
Lin Nan arrived with Xu Ke and walked the red carpet together.
The two followed the hostess all the way to the banquet hall that had been set up.
As far as the eye can see, it is neat and tidy, I am afraid that there are two or three hundred seats, and the big screen and podium have been prepared on the rostrum early.
Many people turned around and noticed Lin Nan and Xu Ke.
Lin Nan also saw some insiders clearly, and could only say that Huayi deserved to be Huayi.
They have not signed newcomers since a long time ago, and the artists here are at least third-tier starters.
The hostess in the venue took Lin Nan and Xu Ke to the first row.
On the way, Lin Nan saw the Knife Sect, Feng Shaofeng, Chen He, Shu Qi, Liu Jialing, Fan Wei, Bai Baihe, Feng Yuanyu, and Zhang Hanyu...... There are no starlets.
In the first row, Lin Nan is Zhang Jizhong and Feng Xiaogang on the left, and Gu Changwei and Zhang Guoli are on the right, and he can only chat with Gu Changwei.
About half an hour later, the venue was full of people, and Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also stepped onto the rostrum at the invitation of the master of ceremonies.
"Here we go." Lin Nan muttered in his heart.
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Huayi Company and the shareholders' meeting of Huayi Group."
"As early as the beginning of Huayi's listing, we wanted to hold a conference to talk about the direction of the group's development, but we couldn't make up our minds.
Today, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary, we have decided to talk to all shareholders, as well as industry and media colleagues about the development plan of Huayi Group......"
At this time, a line of words has appeared on the big screen:
"De-film singular development route".
β¦β¦
There was a noise on the field in an instant, and everyone reacted differently.
"De-film ...... simplification"
Lin Nan was also chanting these words in his mouth, and the expression on his face was a little strange.
To be honest, this route is really good, and it can make Hua Yiduo walk on several legs.
However, there is a very core problem that the "de-film simplification development route" is easy to deviate from in practice, and even strengthen the branches and weak cadres, and lose the foundation.
Sure enough, Wang Zhonglei above began to get to the point.
"In fact, since the company went public, we have been doing 'de-simplification of films', and we only said it publicly to you today.
For more than three years since its listing, we have let go of more than 70 artists who have direct brokerage contracts with Huayi, all of whom are above the second tier, and will not do artist brokerage business in the future, but will switch to the model of opening studios with artists.
The profits of movies and TV series are limited, and the operating costs of producers and artists are rising significantly, and the artist brokerage business will be eliminated from the group's core business. In the future, we will intensify our efforts to 'de-singularize the development of films'.
Cultural towns, theme parks, tourism, games, Internet, finance, electronic products...... These will become the new direction and main direction of the group's development......"
Wang Zhonglei spoke excitedly above, and countless people below applauded excitedly.
Lin Nan heard something from Wang Zhonglei's words, "strong branches and weak cadres" and "weakening the film and television industry sector" may not be the final result of Huayi.
It is very likely that when they are taking the "de-film development route", they will become "de-film development route" when they walk, and the word "single" will disappear directly.
Although he had been prepared for a long time, Lin Nan still felt a little dazed when he heard Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei's "passionate speeches" in person.
Huayi was listed in the name of a film and television company, how much praise and expectations were given by the official at the beginning!
But now they are actually going to: real estate, finance, Internet, games, and other fields.
And it seems that Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei want to treat film and television as a "mother" and support other "businesses" in a heartless manner, but they don't want to continue to invest too many resources in the "mother", or even weaken it!
"That's right, real estate, Internet, finance, and games are all very good, far more and faster than making movies and television!" Lin Nan was speechless in his heart.
For a full hour and a half, the most important "de-film simplification" was finished,
Then, the annual shareholder dividend link officially began.
Almost everyone knows that Lin Nan has a large number of Huayi shares in his hands, far exceeding Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Zhang Guoli and others, and he has not sold them over the years.
But when he got up to 1.2 million additional stock dividends again, everyone couldn't help but be a little shocked and had a question:
"How many shares does Lin Nan have to pay so many dividends at one time?"
However, this also shows another thing, Huayi has really made money in other fields, and "de-simplification of movies" is really right!
The last link is Huayi's annual meeting, which is also the most grand and lively banquet.
Lin Nan didn't stay long, and after chatting with Li Bingbing and Zhang Hanyu for a while, he found an excuse to leave.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The speed of the financial market is really fast.
The morning before yesterday, after the 20th anniversary celebration and shareholders' meeting of Huayi, the set of "de-film simplification development route" also came out.
As a result, Huayi's stock price jumped up in response to the sound and has soared for two consecutive days.
Liu Yifei stroked the fat orange and looked at Lin Nan, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, sometimes frowning and sometimes contemplative, a little confused.
"What's wrong with you today? The premiere of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is just a few days away, are you worried about the box office? β
As she spoke, Liu Yifei ran to Lin Nan barefoot, stepping on the carpet for two or three steps.
She touched Lin Nan's forehead with her white and warm hands, and then touched herself, so she was relieved.
"Didn't burn?" Liu Yifei muttered.
saw Lin Nan raise his head and smile at the girl:
"How can I worry about the box office? Even if you hit the street, what can you do. I was thinking about things just now, and now I've made a decision. β
"What are you thinking?" Liu Yifei sat down next to Lin Nan.
Lin Nan didn't answer positively, but asked rhetorically: "How about I give you a car?" As a New Year's present. β
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "Well, it's okay." Why did you suddenly have this idea? It just so happens that I have a spot in my garage, no, you have more space here, haha......"
Lin Nan didn't answer, but took out his mobile phone and dialed a call out, a few seconds later.
"Director Lin?"
"What is the stock price today, at this moment?"
"Huayi's stock price has risen for two consecutive days, and now it is 41 yuan 6 cents 5, and you have 14.86 million shares in your hands...... Are you trading? β
"Deal."
Liu Yifei's eyes widened, looking at Lin Nan, really buy a car?
Lin Nan raised an eyebrow at her, in exchange for Miss Liu's right eyeblink, a playful wink.
"Are you going to transfer, or are you going to go to the secondary market?"
"Secondary market, 3.86 million shares."
"Okay, Director Lin. Because the stock price is still rising, it is not excluded that the price will fall or the stock price will fall during the sell-off, so the final transaction volume will be the same as it is expected now.
But Huayi's market is very good, the sell-off time should be fast, and the final transaction volume will only be ......"
"Well, let's throw it."
Lin Nan hung up the phone, looked at Liu Yifei, and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, I don't have 5% of Huayi shares in my hand, otherwise I would have to publicize it."
"I said I'll give you a car, isn't that enough? Tomorrow, let's go and see. β
"Uh-huh......"
Liu Yifei propped her elbows on her legs, her hands on her cheeks, she looked at Lin Nan like this, nodded straight, there seemed to be stars flashing in her eyes, and she smiled like a silly person.
