Chapter 739: Lei Jiayin, Wang Baoqiang
The next morning, the entire film and television industry paid attention to the announcement issued by Hong Kong Island Anle Pictures.
After three and a half months of delay, it finally couldn't be delayed.
According to the relevant document policy, the company decided to reshoot the fantasy movie "Monster Hunt" starring the bad artist Ke.
Actor Jing Boran will be the leading actor to complete the filming of all the live shots...... It is estimated that within the year, the film will be able to land in theaters and meet the audience. β
Although this news came abruptly, the industry was actually psychologically prepared.
After all, it was the actor who had an accident, and it couldn't be solved by deleting the scenes;
And it is impossible to give up a movie that has invested two or three hundred million yuan, so it can only be remade with a hard head.
But the cost of this actor's salary will inevitably be doubled, and the pressure to return to the cost will skyrocket instantly!
Many companies and countless artists in the circle are a little envious, because this "Monster Hunt" has become the cake of the "Huayi series", and the male and female protagonists are all in the bag.
In the eyes of peers, Anle Pictures is really a bit like a wronged boss this time.
"Number 27, right? Well, yes, I'll be on time. I haven't congratulated Mr. Wang yet, Huayi's market value is about to exceed 70 billion. β
Lin Nan said a rare compliment, which made Wang Zhonglei a little uncomfortable, and he paused for a second before speaking:
"Tongxi. Doesn't Director Lin also have six million shares of the group in his hand, and he will increase it a little more this time. β
"Then I'm looking forward to the day of the shareholders' meeting."
"The previous proposal, Director Lin can think about it again. Huayi is the largest listed company in the film and television industry, and 100 billion is expected to ...... I really have to leave, I can pack it up and buy ......."
"No, I don't like to give discounts to others."
Lin Nan directly refused, letting the other party get stuck.
"Okay, don't bother."
There was an instant more "indifference" on the other end of the phone, and there was no enthusiasm just now.
After ending the call, Lin Nan couldn't help but show a disdainful smile on his face.
Wang Zhonglei is still thinking about taking advantage? Isn't this a pipe dream?
"This is the last time I will go to Huayi's shareholders' meeting, and in a few months, we can say goodbye completely.
Is there still a promise of 100 billion? Hehe. Relying on real estate, finance, those businesses are expected to be 100 billion?
You can't remember at all that at the beginning of Huayi's listing, it was the film and television cultural industry that was listed! Or, is it just pretending to be confused? β
Looking at the market value and stock price of Huayi on the Internet, Lin Nan couldn't help muttering in his heart. The "transaction" with Huayi at the beginning was really not a loss, and it made dozens of times!
However, thinking of Yue Jun's phone call yesterday afternoon, Lin Nan had a headache again.
"I'd better wait for him to call me. There is one less resident guest, and there are definitely a lot of people in the circle who are scrambling for it......"
β¦β¦
It's only been a few days since I returned from Hollywood, and I have to plan my trip to Berlin again.
Liu Yifei even attached more importance to this trip to Berlin than Lin Nan, and took the initiative to ask when she would leave, so that she could let the brand know it.
Director Lin originally thought that she was concerned about the two of them flying to Paris during the Berlin Film Festival.
But the answer I heard was another very sweet one.
"Going to Paris is something that you, the son-in-law-to-be, should take the initiative to worry about.
As for my concern about going to the film festival? Who told you to go to Berlin for the first two times to win an award, and you didn't take me with you? β
Liu Yifei sat there, tilted her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows at Lin Nan, and then deducted him for a "crime"!
"Sissi, the conscience of heaven and earth! When I won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the first time, you were in the crew of "The Condor Heroes", and the relationship between the two of us had not yet been determined;
When you won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for the second time, you trained at a martial arts school to prepare for the launch of "The King of Kung Fu". What do you mean I don't take you? β
Lin Nan smiled and shouted injustice, it was too wrong.
"Hmph, I don't care. In short, the truth is that you didn't take me with me when I wasn't there. β
Miss Liu looked at Lin Nan with a playful expression of "I'm not going to reason with you", the meaning is very clear, this time I went to Berlin with you in a "special capacity"!
How could Lin Nan not see Liu Yifei's arrogant and careful thinking, he couldn't help but smile and hurriedly nodded and confessed:
"Uh-huh, blame me, blame me. The third time I went to the Berlin International Film Festival to compete, I remembered to take you, my girlfriend and fiancΓ©e, this time there is Producer Liu, and it is not Silver Bear. β
"You've passed, hee-hee......"
Miss Liu's shrewdness passed, and a simple smile appeared on her face again, but she really switched freely.
"Then book flight number 2, shall we? Sissi. β
"Okay."
β¦β¦
The film industry has been missing Han Sanping for more than 15 months.
Whenever an imported blockbuster is to be released in the mainland, everyone especially misses this "mountain carving" who was once scolded by most of his peers in the circle.
It's a pity that no matter how much nostalgia you have, it's useless. Now in charge, it is Lapai Kang.
In January, the first imported blockbuster released during the Chinese New Year was "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies".
When the entire crew of this movie came to China to participate in the film conference and showed great importance, the audience was already conquered.
You don't need to think about it at the box office, and it will definitely not be bad. And the producers of a number of domestic films can only be angry, speechless and helpless!
In the afternoon, when Lin Nan went out to make an appointment, Yue Jun was also meeting with Lei Jiayin on the company's side.
On the floor of Shanhai Media, only a few artists and their logistics teams usually come over.
At this time, Lei Jiayin was sitting slightly cramped in the office, next to the agent, and opposite was Yue Jun, who was in charge of the entire Shanhai Media business.
"Director Yue, is you talking about my contract today?"
Lei Jiayin asked knowingly, but he also had to ask knowingly. Because his heart is actually very apprehensive, just to cover it up.
"Well, that's right, you only have two months left on your contract. I don't beat around the bush either......"
The agent and Lei Jiayin both looked at Yue Jun and were drumming in their hearts.
"Now there are three development models for actors and artists in the film and television industry.
The first is to be a pure actor and sign under a film and television company or a brokerage company;
second, open a studio or a company to work alone, like Zhu Yawen, Shu Zhan, Yang Mi;
Third, the company supports artists to open studios and hang them under the company's name. Of course, this model is a cooperative relationship between the two parties, and the company has to take shares. β
After Yue Jun finished speaking, he looked at Lei Jiayin.
The latter had a faint guess in his heart, the company didn't want him to choose the first option, or rather, the company didn't want to renew the contract, so let him choose between the latter two!
"In the current environment, you also know that salaries are rising...... You'll earn more......"
Listening to Yue Jun's words, Lei Jiayin's brain was spinning rapidly, the company had made up its mind and wanted him to set up his own door? !
"Director Yue, will they have this step after their contracts expire?"
"Hmm. Director Lin said that he didn't even rule out talking about this matter in advance. β
Hearing this, Lei Jiayin swallowed his saliva.
Choosing the second option, that is, being your own boss, is the most profitable of the three options. Can be the third ......
"Director Yue, I've thought about it......"
"Okay, then do it. Director Lin's words were kept secret from several other people. β
"Director Yue, I understand."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Not to mention, Wang Baoqiang, who wears black-rimmed glasses, is quite like the thing.
Lin Nan went to Wang Baoqiang's appointment, and the latter invited him to afternoon tea; As for what it was, he knew in his heart.
"Let's talk about it. Yue Jun called me, but only briefly about you. β
Wang Baoqiang was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.
"Director Lin, the company received other announcements for me before, and the recording of the second season of "Running Man" is in conflict in time......"
""Running Man" is recorded and broadcast at the same time, if this is still conflicting, then it seems that your other announcement is very busy?"
Lin Nan analyzed, and added: "It's okay, an actor with pursuits really shouldn't be resident in variety shows." β
For Wang Baoqiang, an actor from the grassroots, he still admires him very much, and the other party is also very good at being a person.
Wang Baoqiang's expression was a little embarrassed:
"Director Lin, actually, it's actually a variety show over there. is a variety show with military colors, with the participation of troops. Food, lodging, and recording are all in the army, and you can't leave during the period.
I will enter the army at the beginning of February and come out at the end of March...... I can't say the name of the variety show, I signed a confidentiality contract...... And the second season of "Running Man" is planned to start recording in early March......"
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
With Wang Baoqiang's character, he will indeed prefer this kind of "tough guy" style variety show, after all, his famous work is "Soldier Assault".
This kind of thing, Lin Nan understands that he can't force it, "Okay, I respect your choice." It's the one here that has to find a replacement for you in a month and a half. β
Suddenly, Director Lin Da remembered another serious matter, "Are you still on the schedule after the end of the variety show recording?" β
For a moment, Wang Baoqiang's eyes widened, and his tone was quite excited: "In, in, Director Lin?" β
"There's a movie that might start in April, and I need a leading actor, hehe......"
"Me, me, no problem, you're always there. Even if there is another contract, I will terminate the contract immediately and pay liquidated damages......"
"Well, then when you come back at the end of March, come to the company to talk."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem, thank you Director Lin, thank you ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the end of August last year, Wanda announced the release of "One Step Away" produced by Joyful Pictures with a box office guarantee of 1 billion yuan.
LeTV Pictures decisively withdrew "Detective Runaway", which is very optimistic about big data, from the Chinese New Year file on December 18, and changed the file to be released on January 16.
The purpose of this move is very clear, that is, to avoid "One Step Away", which will definitely be taken care of by Wanda Cinemas in terms of film scheduling.
But at this time, it is indeed to avoid "One Step Away", but if you don't fight for it, you have to fight the street. 4.86 million on the first day, rotten to the extreme.
first "One Step Away", and then "Detective Runaway", two movies that were favored by "big data", all of them collapsed, which caused a lot of confusion in the industry.
Sometimes, I have to admire the Internet people, who have come to a conclusion after some analysis on the Internet:
"Big data" has done everything that needs to be done, if the movie is still rotten? That's all a problem of the director and the script, a problem of "software", and the hardware of "big data" is not to blame!
Not to mention, this point of view is really convincing! Many insiders think it makes sense. "One Step Away" is Jiang Wenpiao, and "Detective Runaway" is a problem with the director's level......
Lin Nan, who looked at the film and television information, only felt that the industry was hopeless, because everyone had begun to convince themselves? !
