Chapter 824: Share, Exploitation, Connections

"Well, thank you very much to Director Lin and Producer Liu for the invitation, so that Yinghuang can also participate in the project of the main theme film."

Yang Shoucheng took Lin Nan's words just right, and smiled at everyone, especially to La Beikang and Ren Zhonglun.

The latter two didn't say anything more, but straightened their waists with indifferent expressions.

At this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had already sat in their positions, and the assistant followed in with a few documents in his arms.

"Director Lin, can we start?"

The director of the Golden Shield asked. The others were group presidents or executives who could have had free time, but he didn't.

There are a lot of things to do with Jin Dun, but there are not many people, so he will have to rush back in a while.

"yes, okay."

Lin Nan signaled to the assistant and sent the information to the remaining 6 producers.

"This is the detailed budget statement of the "Mekong Operation", 200 million, you can take it back.

Originally, I was still hesitant to be a director myself, after all, I was also busy with the wedding during this time.

But in the end, after thinking about it, I still have to guide it myself, but I have to wait until after the wedding. ”

When a few people heard Lin Nan's words, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground in an instant, and they were extremely down-to-earth!

"You are the most suitable director. After all, in the main theme of commercial films, you are synonymous. ”

Ren Zhonglun smiled and praised it, but when he heard this in La's ears, he felt very harsh.

Because when filming "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", where was there anything going on.

"For this film, I'm still the producer.

From the preparation of the project to the official start-up, as Lin Nan said, there will indeed be an interval of a few months, which is a bit long. Everyone has to be mentally prepared. ”

Liu Yifei's voice is crisp and slightly magnetic.

"It's okay with long intervals.

The two of you are busy with the wedding first, and then you will be married after your honeymoon, just like "Outwitting Tiger Mountain". ”

Chairman Ren nodded, and the smile on his face never broke.

La Paikang couldn't stand it anymore, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", this movie has nothing to do with you being in the movie! What, give me eye drops?

Although he noticed the slightest smell of gunpowder between the upper shadow and the middle shadow, Lin Nan just smiled and ignored it.

He looked at Jin Dun's side: "Director Zhang, I know that Jin Dun is very strict in terms of accounts and capital control.

This budget is the most detailed one my company has ever made, and you can directly enter the file after you take it back. ”

"Well, it's very detailed. Thank you very much for saving us a lot of trouble. ”

Director Zhang said very approvingly, and then asked for another one and put it in his briefcase.

"Now let's talk about share."

As Lin Nan's words landed, several people present suddenly lifted their spirits.

However, if you compare it, you will find that the three of Guangguang, Wanda and Jindun are much more relaxed than the three of China Film, Shangying and Yinghuang.

"Director Zhang, according to what I said before, Jindun will take 10% unchanged, and Lin Nan Pictures will send the project's exclusive fund account to Jindun."

"Okay, no problem."

The dialogue between Lin Nan and Director Jin Dun Zhang made La Xiangkang and Ren Zhonglun chuckle in their hearts:

"You actually set a share in advance?! Didn't notify ......"

The two of them quietly glanced at everyone present...... Wang Changtian and Ye Ning were not surprised, Yang Shoucheng seemed to be looking forward to it?

This situation made the two of them feel a little anxious and worried earlier, and instantly became heavier - their own family was "excluded"?

"Wang Dong, the share of light, I already told you when I was at the Modu International Film Festival."

"Well, 15%."

Wang Changtian's smiling appearance became more and more dazzling in La's eyes. Actually started allocating shares a month ago?

Ren Zhonglun also looked at Wang Changtian, and was beating a drum in his heart: More than a golden shield?

"Wanda is the same as light."

"Well, Wang Dong said hello to me."

Ye Ning also smiled and bowed his head at Lin Nan.

At this point, the three took 40%. There are four left, and 60% left!

La Paikang, Ren Zhonglun, and Yang Shoucheng were all muttering in their hearts:

Lin Nan Pictures is definitely going to take the lion's share, is it to take the remaining half? What about the other three? 30%?

"Dong Yang, thank you for Yifei's naturalization. Yinghuang's share is 10%. ”

The moment they heard this, Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi both had heartfelt smiles on their faces, 10% was enough, the same as the golden shield.

"Director Lin is polite, it's all his own people."

Hearing this conversation, La's and Ren immediately understood why Yinghuang was able to join the Mekong Action.

But at the same time, they also felt a little more aggrieved and unwilling in their hearts, especially La's accompaniment.

There are only 50% left, if Lin Nan leaves 30% by himself, won't Zhongying have to share 20% with Shangying? That's less than 15% of Detective Chinatown!

The four companies that have already obtained the share all looked at Lin Nan and the two chairmen of China Film and Shanghai Film intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Nan Pictures must be the main controller, and its share must be more than 15% of Light and Wanda, and it can't be 20%, which is too little.

What about the middle shadow and the upper shadow?

It's really interesting, and even a little exciting!

Even Liu Yifei couldn't help but look away, and didn't look at the expressions of several people, because she knew her Lin Dao's plan.

I saw Lin Nan with a smile on his face, and said very casually: "Lin Nan Pictures will keep 40% this time." ”

In the large conference room, there was a dead silence, and a pin drop could be heard.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning have long had conjectures in this regard, but they still have some "can't bear to look at it directly".

Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi were even more stunned, where could they have thought of such a situation, the two of them were obviously a little "frightened".

As for Director Zhang of Jindun, he squinted his eyes and looked like he was smiling.

The atmosphere was abruptly depressed to the extreme.

Ren Zhonglun frowned, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't open it.

Shangying has just returned to this ship, and he has no qualifications for "too little" at all, but it is really too little, almost "insulting"!

He looked at Lapai Kang, whose face was completely undisguised, and he was dripping with water.

Suddenly, Lama Companion Kang spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "5%? Lin Nan, as for being so ruthless? ”

"Ladong, as a state-owned enterprise, interests are never the first, just participate, isn't it?"

Lin Nan's high-sounding words immediately stopped La's accompaniment.

Without waiting for the other party to react, he went on to add:

"Lin Nan Pictures had to be the sole master prosecution to guarantee my absolute control over Operation Mekong.

If you don't have a small share, you can discuss with the other 5 companies to see if you can share some profits from them and give them to China Film. ”

La Pai Kang was speechless for a while, in his sight, Lin Nan was smiling at this moment, but he was extremely distant.

As for the others, it was all a smile of "rejection".

In the large conference room, it was dead silence again.

Director Zhang, who is still a golden shield, got up with a smile and broke this embarrassing situation:

"Director Lin, I'll leave first, there is still a lot of work for Jin Dun. What about contracts? ”

"Sign together in two days."

"Okay."

The departure of one person also announced the end of today's "meeting".

La Beikang didn't say much, but just glanced at Lin Nan before leaving.

And Ren Zhonglun sighed and patted Lin Nan on the shoulder: "5% is 5%, Shangying can accept it." ”

When the two left, Yang Shoucheng also stood up, "Thank you Director Lin this time, Wenxi and I will also go back to the capital branch first." ”

"Hmm."

Only Wang Changtian and Ye Ning were left in the conference room.

"Will you cut too hard this time?"

"Maybe. But the film and television industry is becoming more and more market-oriented...... The cooperation with China Film consumes all the previous feelings. ”

Lin Nan meant something, so be it.

"Marketization? Also, the industry is no longer like 5 years ago, and the status and role of China Film will become smaller and smaller, almost nothing. When the affection is exhausted, it will ......"

Downstairs.

Before Ren Zhonglun got into the car, he couldn't help but "make up" to La, and he was in a bad mood, so he could only get it back from Zhongying:

"To be honest, Shangying was affected by Zhongying. Ladong, what are you doing, a golden rooster ......?"

"I ......"

La Beikang was on the verge of "explosion", and when he heard this, he was about to blow up, but when he turned his head, Ren Zhonglun had already gotten into the car.

…………

At noon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei went home.

On the Internet, I heard that "Gardenia Blossom" had just been released for half a day, and it was pinched with "Small Times 4".

To be precise, it was a pinching between the fans of the two sides, after all, they are two youth movies with the same theme next to each other in the same schedule.

The reason is that a large number of fans went to the theater for the names and feelings of He Yuan, "Gardenia Bloom", and Li Yifeng, but they were all disgusted.

Immediately afterwards, there were a lot of bad reviews on the Internet, such as "big bad movies", "a lump of stool", and "urine spots throughout the process".

There are even many movie reviews that are "far worse than "Small Times 4", and fans of "Small Times 4" are indeed fueling the flames and stepping on it.

In this way, the "brain-dead fans" on both sides "communicated" on Weibo, and the content was simply unsightly.

Afternoon time.

Lin Nan leaned on the swing, still recalling the distribution of shares in the morning, and was a little embarrassed for a while; The reason why I was able to get to this point with Zhongying is because of a golden rooster, or because I got too close before.

"Sissi, the nomination for the Golden Rooster should come out soon, right?"

"Huh? Golden Rooster? The nomination should be next month. What does this do, you ask? We don't go. ”

"It's nothing, I just remembered it suddenly...... It's not going. But I just don't know how disgusting it will be......"

Lin Nan's voice became quieter, and then she turned her head sideways to look at Liu Yifei on the side, she was holding the tablet and looking at Weibo, as if she was leaving a message or something.

"Who?"

"The end of "Journey to the West 3" was launched this afternoon, Tang Yan and Wu Yan both posted on Weibo, I will give them a thumbs up."

"Okay, another bad movie is about to start."

"Someone else just turned on the phone, and you just said this?" Liu Yifei scolded Lin Nan.

"Listen to what Liu Zhenwei said in an interview: What fans understand "Journey to the West" is wrong, and he wants to use this movie to tell the audience what "Journey to the West" is!

If you hear it, you will say this to him, this film is designated as a big bad movie. The reason why "Journey to the West" can become a classic is because fans found their empathy in Zhou Xingchi's version, but he said that fans misunderstood?

The reason why he was able to shoot the third part was because the first two were too classic and formed a top-level big IP effect; He wants to go against the fans and try to overturn the first two films, isn't that to overthrow "Journey to the West" in the hearts of fans and cut this big IP?

It's like building a building, while building the third floor, while saying that the first and second floors are built wrong, and they are demolishing it! Do you think that if a director does this, the audience and fans will buy it? ”

"Like, that's the reason!"

Liu Yifei's eyes flashed, her thick eyelashes blinked lightly, and she was very good-looking.

"This series, ruined."

Just when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were "sympathizing" with Wu Yan and Tang Yan, Han Sanping also welcomed a guest - La Pai Kang.

In the study, after Han Jianu made tea, she was "kicked out" by Han Sanping.

But Xiao Han did not go back to his study, but outside the door of Lao Han's study, his ears were close to the door, eavesdropping.

"Ladong, I'm retired. These things shouldn't come to me, and I can't help much. ”

"In the final analysis, the relationship between Han Dong and Lin Nan is far from being comparable to me. At least Jia Nu has a good relationship with the two of them, isn't it? ”

"China Film is China Film, I am me, and a good girl is a good girl, and it can't be generalized."

Han Sanping held the teacup and politely refused.

At this moment, in La's view, the word "mountain carving" can only describe the former Han Sanping;

And where is Han Sanping in front of him the domineering "mountain carving"? He's already an old fox who has become a spirit!

"The first commercial film with the main theme, China Film has 30%, and the second film has only 5%! Han Dong, don't you think it's funny? And this time, the Ministry of Public Security nodded, and Jin Dun participated in ......"

“5%……”

Han Sanping muttered for a moment and still shook his head.

He is right, state-owned enterprises focus on participation. If he hadn't forced me to play 'Mountain Carving', I wouldn't have asked for 30% of my mouth. ”

"This time it's 30 to 5 percent, and next time? From 5% to 0%? ”

La Paikang also picked up the teacup, and his tone was a little gloomy and lonely.

Although China Film is the leader, it is ...... in film production Now is the big wave of marketization, and good directors are close to capital or playing by themselves.

"What about 0%? Aren't your "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" and "The Great Wall" all achievements? ”

Han Sanping smiled and said, still not letting go.

"Han Dong, you are really stable. Favors and connections, no leakage, are kept for the beautiful girl. ”

Please don't move the mountain when you see it...... Han Sanping, Lapai Kang sighed and got up and gave up.

"Han Dong, then I'll go first. It's empty, you come back and take a look. After all, he is the contracted director of China Film and the consultant of the General Administration......"

"Well, I'll send you."

A few minutes later, in the courtyard, Han Sanping and Han Jianu watched an Audi go away.

"Tut-tut, my Senior Brother Lin is ruthless enough, directly cut to 5%? All I can say is - well done! ”

When Han Sanping heard this, he glanced at his daughter angrily, but he was echoing:

"It's ruthless enough, but he has this kind of confidence.

And now it seems that the further back it goes, the lower the influence of China Film on the industry, this is a big policy and a big trend! ”

…………

The time came to the 11th.

"The Return of the Great Sage" and "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" ranked third and fourth on yesterday's box office list with box office results of 68.82 million and 38.14 million respectively.

and "Small Times 4" and "Gardenia Blossom" occupy the first and second places with the advantages of "youth films" and "fan movies", with a box office of 91.2 million and 8206.

However, the industry is very clear that these two youth films are three to five days of box office "popularity", and it is impossible to survive for a week!

As for director Chen Da's "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain"? The daily box office of 12.44 million announced that the film is already going downhill, and the road ahead is coming to an end.

Even whether its total box office can reach 300 million is unknown, because there are two domestic "blockbusters" such as "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" waiting in the third week.

However, compared with these movie information, the film and television entertainment industry is most concerned about the second-instance lawsuit between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.

For the first time in the industry, in an official document, I can clearly and nakedly see how Zhang Dacang squeezed a top director!

Zhang Yimou said that Zhang Dacang owed tens of millions of salaries and dividends, but Zhang Dacang said that he had already paid Zhang Yimou's wife 12.53 million at the end of 11, and the two did not owe each other for a long time.

Regarding this, Director Zhang Da's answer shocked the entire film and television industry:

The 12.53 million is the salary of all the movies he directed in the past 10 years from 01 to 09 before "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" in "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides"; And from "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" to the end of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", all the movie remuneration and dividends in between have not been given a penny!

In order to prove that he did not tell a lie, Director Zhang Da's lawyer even took out the investigation records of the Family Planning Commission.

The lawyer of the new picture in the court was also the agent who participated in the transcript when the Family Planning Commission went to the new picture to investigate Zhang Yimou's income.

The transcript clearly says that since the millennium, it has been the new picture that has been helping Director Zhang Da handle taxes, and the 10 million is all the after-tax remuneration of Director Zhang Da since 01 and in the past 10 years!

Good guys, the new picture is suddenly contradictory.

Zhang Dacang was in a panic, and even changed his words in court, saying that the agent did not know the specific situation at that time, and the transcript of the Family Planning Commission could not be true.

Then his words were directly rejected by the presiding judge in court: "Since he doesn't know the situation, why did he accept the investigation and questioning of the Family Planning Commission as an agent?" ”

At this point, the final trial is over, and Zhang Dacang needs to pay tens of millions of arrears!

The film and television industry is not surprised by this final result, because Zhang Yimou's character is definitely more credible than Zhang Weiping.

It's just that what shocks everyone is that a top international director has really only received a salary of more than 10 million in 10 years, and he has been owed 10 years to get it.

It's unimaginable, Zhang Dacang is really crazy!

You must know that Feng Xiaogang earned tens of millions of dollars with a "No Thieves in the World". In contrast, the national teacher was really pitted too badly!

Lin Nan also saw the news of the final judgment of the second lawsuit, and he could only say that Zhang Dacang was black enough!

This can completely make sense, why Zhang Yimou will join LeTV and take over "The Great Wall".

The reason is very simple - it's all money, lack of money!

……

"Flower Thousand Bone" still firmly occupies the first place in the TV series ratings list, and its popularity remains high.

But at the same time, another Republic of China fantasy drama also sprung up and came out.

That is, Tang and Sohu jointly produced the drama, "Heartless Mage".

In Yue Jun's words, Cai Yinong really dug up a good "treasure".

This "treasure" does not refer to Han Dongjun and Jin Chen, who are the starring roles under the Tang Dynasty, nor is it Zhang Ruoyun, the second generation of stars who are "hired" externally, but the supporting role: Chen Yao!

"Nortel's performance department is level 13, and I was born in an ordinary family, but it's a pity."

"As soon as you opened your mouth, you gave someone someone an order?"

Lin Nan teased Yue Jun while signing the document.

The "ordinary family" mentioned by the latter refers to the fact that the family does not have any connections and background in the film and television industry.

But the family's economic conditions will definitely not be too bad, otherwise it will not be possible to take the Nortel test; But this kind of family is indeed an "ordinary family" in the circle.

"Very spiritual, but chose the wrong company. If you enter the Tang Dynasty, you will enter the mouth of the tiger. Cai Yinong has been blind in the past few years, and he should not hold it, but he should hold it, and he will hold all the vases! ”

After Yue Jun finished complaining with a smile, he looked at Lin Nan and got down to business:

"Director Lin, don't we get the shooting permit? Zhang Ju personally called. ”

"Huh? When? ”

"This morning."

Lin Nan pushed the document in front of him aside:

"Then go and get it in 3 days, and by the way, do the film filing of "Operation Mekong".

When the time comes, the circle and the Internet will know why the audit department will slap itself in the face. ”

"Okay, then go on the 14th."

……

Lin Nan left the company when it was close to 11 o'clock at noon.

At the same time, another officially announced movie information on the Internet shook the eyes of the entire film and television entertainment industry - super big cake!

"Jointly produced by Warner Pictures and Legendary Pictures, with an investment of 185 million US dollars, the fantasy masterpiece "King Kong: Skull Island" was officially established and began casting for the world."

"According to the news released by Legendary Pictures, Chinese actress Jing Tian, who has just participated in the Sino-US co-production of the giant "The Great Wall", has been confirmed to star in "King Kong: Skull Island" ......"

"Starlight issued an announcement confirming the invitation from the crew of the Hollywood fantasy blockbuster "King Kong: Skull Island"."

"Actor Jing Tian updated Weibo: Thank you to Warner Pictures and Legendary Pictures for ......"

……

Quietly, it is another Hollywood S-level production. Countless young actresses in the circle have an unreal sense of "sadness".

In recent years, which actresses have "jumped" the most in film resources?

There is no doubt that the former one is Liu Yifei, and the latter one is Jing Tian!

These two and other post-80s actresses really don't stay in the same resource layer, they are all top Hollywood blockbusters!

"King Kong: Skull Island?"

At the dinner table, Liu Yifei was muttering while watching the news while picking up the rice.

"This is what Tom said about Warner's film project the last time we were filming "Detective Chinatown" in Bangkok, fantasy, action, adventure, monster blockbuster."

Lin Nan reminded with a smile, but the title of the film had not been decided last time.

"Oh, I refused."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she nodded with a smile, but then asked: "I just don't know if she got the female number one or the female number two?" ”

"Tian ...... If Jing Tian gets the female number one, it may be a little hanging. ”

……

At this time, the stars are shining.

Looking at Jing Tian who looked happy, Lu Zheng was also very happy, but there was still some sadness between his eyebrows.

"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. One "The Great Wall" and one "King Kong: Skull Island", I hope you can completely gain a firm foothold with these two blockbusters and go more smoothly on the road in the future. ”

"Uncle Lu, you?" Jing Tian heard something extraneous.

"Tian Tian, from 05 to now, it has been 10 years. I'll take care of you for another year, one year at most, and I'll retire. I've also explained it to you at home. ”

Lu Zheng talked to Jing Tian about this topic for the first time, and the latter was a little caught off guard for a while.

"But, I, Uncle Lu......"

"Don't worry, isn't there still a year left? We have built a lot of relationships over the years, and you just need to maintain them carefully. For example, Director Lin, Director Ning, Director Zhang...... It's all big directors. ”

In Lu Zheng's opinion, Jing Tian's connections are enough, and with her simple temperament, some connections will be very strong.
