That year Huayu

There are powerful media outlets reporting on suspected conflicts within Huayi, pointing directly at the top management.

But soon this gossip disappeared.

Many people who saw it didn't take it seriously, but those who noticed it passed by quietly without even making a statement.

A piece of news from across the ocean was pinned to the top of the portal.

"Hollywood New Line Cinema recently announced its new film plan, and will collaborate with the famous director and screenwriter Lin Nan on the 3D science fiction adventure film "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

The latter participated in the production as a screenwriter and investor. The initial budget of the film reached 60 million US dollars, and Lin Nan held a 30% investment ratio..."

"'Dead Silence' allowed Lin Nan to successfully open the door to Hollywood. New Line is the second Hollywood film company to extend an olive branch to Lin Nan after Lionsgate..."

"Lionsgate director James Wan, who is the director of the hit horror movie "Dead Silence," said in an interview that he is looking forward to new films from Lin Nan and New Line."

The domestic film and television industry was dazzled by this news, and all other entertainment gossip was suppressed for a while.

Everyone who knows him or not is contacting Lin Nan.

From the existing information, you can easily calculate Lin Nan's investment share, which is US$18 million.

The film companies were the most enthusiastic and asked Lin Nan about the authenticity of this matter. Although the news from New Line could not be false, everyone was looking forward to getting the exact information from Lin Nan.

After taking calls from Enlight, Wanda Ye Ning, Xiying and other companies, and being teased by Ning Hao for a long time, Lin Nan finally accepted a phone interview directly from the reporter and said frankly that this was the truth.

Soon, news update.

"This reporter got the exact information from director Lin Nan that he is indeed cooperating with New Line Cinema on the new film "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and 30% of the investment amount is true."

Now everyone is really not calm. They are all speculating whether Lin Nan has the right to cast. With 30% of the investment, it stands to reason that Lin Nan cannot have no say in the casting. Lin Nan is also a screenwriter. Hollywood screenwriters are not like those in China. Weak.

The clever media have already gone to read the original novel, or dragged people over there to inquire about the adapted script.

There are three protagonists, two uncles and nephews, plus a female guide character. With an investment of 60 million US dollars, the protagonists are basically these three.

Now a large number of agencies are looking for Lin Nan, including Zhang Ziyi's agent. Lin Nan is still curious, isn't she preparing for "The Night Banquet"? Such a big appetite!

Lin Nan didn't meet anyone who inquired about the casting, and didn't say anything. The few people who knew about it wouldn't reveal it either.

China Film Group took the lead and announced that it had received an investment of US$4 million from Lin Nan, adding fuel to the fire to the matter.

Shanghai Film Group followed closely behind, and also disclosed the amount of investment it received, which was the same as China Film Group's, which was four million.

The joining of two leading state-owned enterprises in the film and television industry has really made this matter a definite fact.

Only then did everyone realize that Lin Nan had already reached an agreement with China Film and Shanghai Film Group, and it was just announced now.

"There are still some shares, which have not been finalized, about six million..."

This is what Lin Nan asked someone to hand out.

"Brother, let me contact Lin Nan. We need this investment to stabilize the next situation. Wang Jinghua has already made up her mind to leave..."

"Okay, you go ahead, but he won't let go easily. We have to be prepared to pay a premium."

"I see."

…

Lu Zheng looked at the news in his hand and was moved, but he still held it back.

"If he had the decision-making power about this female character, we could help you buy it. Unfortunately, there is no definite information."

A Hollywood science fiction film costing US$60 million, its heroine is still popular even in Hollywood, let alone in China.

If Lin Nan reveals that he can decide the ownership of this female character, then the actress who comes to him can drown her. He has no doubt about the madness of these domestic actresses.

Jing Tian held a book in his hand. It was not thick. It was the original novel of "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

"But Director Lin Nan didn't make it clear that he had no say in casting." Jing Tian said softly.

"It seems you liked the movie."

Lu Zheng smiled.

"Looking at the news from New Line and Lin Nan, they should be sure of the profit of this movie. Since they are sure of the profit, they have more choices for partners. I asked someone to go and find out."

"Okay, Uncle Lu."

Choosing to enter the film and television industry was Jing Tian's own idea and his childhood wish. For this reason, his family asked Lu Zheng to help him.

The first step was to release the EP first, and hired Princess's producer to help her produce lyrics and music. For the title song MV, she even hired new director Ning Hao.

And this is just a stepping stone to enter the industry. It would be best if you can directly participate in movies.

But currently there is no chance to join the crew of a big director. On the contrary, if the crew on Hong Kong Island has money, they can get in.

Although Jing Tian is not old, he still wants to join a serious big film crew, not the "Anaconda" in his hand.

On the other side, Mother Liu was also asking Liu Yifei, "Lin Nan was a guest that day. Didn't he talk to you about the movie?"

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang shook their heads, "I didn't say this that day."

Mother Liu felt a little regretful, "This is a Hollywood movie. It would be great if he could make the decision."

Liu Yifei felt that her mother was taking things for granted again.

"How about we go ask him?"

Shu Chang suggested.

"It's better to say goodbye. If he wants to say it, he will."

Liu Yifei disagreed with Shu Chang's proposal.

Lin Nan received a call from Wang Zhonglei. They started with a social conversation, and finally stated their purpose of coming, hoping to get part of Lin Nan's remaining share.

Lin Nan did not agree directly, but told him that he could make time for the interview, which happened to be with other companies.

Mr. Wang was not deceived. Lin Nan also received interest from other companies, including his old friend Enlight and Wanda, which was expanding its theater chain.

To be honest, together with Huayi, these three are indeed Lin Nan's ideal private companies to cooperate with.

Although Wanda has not yet set foot in the upstream industry, its intention is obvious, as can be seen from asking Lin Nan about its share.

An unexpected guest visited Lin Nan, a man from Yinghuang.

"Lin Sheng, we meet again."

This is the second time Lin Nan has met this Yinghuang artist director.

"Ms. Huo, long time no see. Why are you here this time? Director Jiang Wen hasn't heard that things are not going well."

Lin Nan invited Huo Wenxi into the office.

"Lin Sheng, please stop pretending to be confused. You can definitely guess the purpose of my visit this time."

Huo Wenxi was dressed as an urban beauty, sitting opposite Lin Nan and talking.

Lin Nan stopped pretending, "Ms. Huo came early. Let's talk about it when we all sit down together."

"Lin Sheng, which other companies are there? In my opinion, whether it is funds, artists or status, Yinghuang is the most suitable choice for you."

"Hong Kong Island is too small. My base is on the mainland, and my future will also belong to the mainland market..."

Huo Wenxi didn't expect Lin Nan to speak so directly.

"Since Miss Huo has come to Beijing, please stay for two more days. When the time comes to talk, how about I inform you?"

Huo Wenxi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll wait for Lin Sheng's call, and I'll go check out Director Jiang Wen's class."

"no problem."

…

In twenty days, "Into the Dust" came to an end, with a box office revenue of 10.8 million.

News that had disappeared for a few days resurfaced, and this time the gossip reporters didn't know where they got the exact information.

It was bluntly stated that Wang Jinghua had broken up with the Huayi brothers and would lead her artists to leave the Huayi Economic Company, and even the suspected job-hopping target was reported.

Different from the vague and general news last time, this time it directly named an individual and was specific about the incident.

Everyone in the industry knows that Huayi is the leader among private film and television companies.

What has established its status is not only the prolific director like Feng Xiaogang, but also its huge group of artists and stars, including many big names and countless capable actors.

Artist management revenue has always played an important role in Huayi's profit structure, and everyone in the industry is happy to watch the excitement.

Regarding this matter, the reply given by Huayi Brothers Film and Television Media was groundless.

Wang Jinghua's reply on the other side was that she was on a business trip and would wait until she returned to Beijing.

Chengtian, who is suspected of taking over the company, can't explain clearly.

The news outside was flying everywhere, and Lin Nan was waiting for people from four companies to come to his company.

Huo Wenxi from Yinghuang, Xiao Wang from Huayi, Vice President of Guangguang, and executives from Wanda Cinemas.

“First of all, I need to make it clear to the four of you that I only have 6 million shares left in my hand, while China Film, Shanghai Film and myself all have 4 million.

The six million cannot be given to just one party, nor can there be too many partners. My plan is to divide it between two parties, and the one with the highest price will get it. "

Lin Nan got straight to the point and explained his meaning directly. Judging from the expressions of several people, they were mentally prepared in advance.

China Film and Shanghai Film have the background and power to support the import and distribution of foreign films, so they can get their shares at a fair price, but these companies will definitely not be able to do so.

The premium was inevitable, but the four of them didn't expect that Lin Nan only wanted two companies, which meant an investment share of US$3 million from each of the two companies.

From the beginning, Lin Nan had a rough idea, and the results were completely in line with his expectations.

Although Guangguang is developing towards the film business, its current main business is still in the variety show and television business.

Lin Nan has a good relationship with Guangguang, but their physical strength is really not good, so they were the first to quit.

"Say hello to Mr. Wang for me."

"I will, Director Lin."

Yinghuang coveted the opportunity to go directly to Hollywood, but the Hong Kong people's behavior made Huo Wenxi not as decisive as Wanda and Huayi in terms of quotation, and the second one withdrew.

"Miss Huo, let's work together again next time," Lin Nan said.

"It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future. Yinghuang looks forward to cooperating with you, Director Lin."

Huo Wenxi also left early.

Huayi and Wanda each received an investment of 3 million, but the money they spent was 4.2 million.

"Director Lin, please keep this matter secret for a while. I will announce it then."

Wang Zhonglei said.

"This is no problem. I believe Guang Guang and Miss Huo will not take the initiative to disclose it."

"We were definitely minding our own business."

Wanda executives sold favors.

Wang Zhonglei went out with satisfaction.

"Director Lin, I have something to ask you."

Wanda's people spoke.

"What's up?"

Lin Nan still has to give face to his partners.

"Did you really not get a role in this movie? For example, the heroine."

Lin Nan hesitated.

"She is not part of our collaboration."

The other party seemed to understand what Lin Nan meant.

"I understand, thank you, Director Lin."
