That year Huayu

After just one night, the gambling agreement between Jiaxing Media and Shangshi Pictures spread throughout the film and television industry and the entertainment industry.

According to the gambling agreement, Shangshi Pictures invested 300 million in cash in Jiaxing Media, accounting for 20% of the shares, and provided the latter with necessary channel resources;

However, from the date of signing the contract to the end of 2017, Jiaxing must make the company's net profit after tax reach more than 95%, and must achieve a net profit after tax of more than 310 million;

If the goal is not achieved, according to the gambling terms of the contract, Jiaxing Media must repurchase the 20% shares held by Shangshi Pictures at an annualized rate of 15%.

And the most core and critical additional clause in the agreement is aimed at Yang Mi, the cash cow:

That is, during the execution of the gambling contract, Yang Mi, the core contracted artist under Jiaxing Media, shall not terminate the contract!

In the eyes of most companies in the film and television industry, Jiaxing's financing gambling can really be described as "audacious".

Undoubtedly, 300 million in cash is a lot, but by comparison, the requirements for Jiaxing in the gambling agreement are more stringent and more abnormal.

It is said that pressure creates motivation, but Jiaxing and Yang Mi can no longer be said to be pressure, but carrying two mountains, and Yang Mi and Zeng Jia took the initiative to carry them!

"I'm afraid it will take three years without a break? The workload will also increase many times?"

While Lin Nan hung up Yue Jun's phone, Liu Yifei was also browsing the relevant news about Jiaxing, looking shocked and scared.

With her more Buddhist personality, she will never add such a heavy burden and workload to herself, otherwise her life will definitely lose color and sunshine.

"The bigger the ambition, the bigger the motivation. Although Jiaxing is not a traditional production company, Yang Mi is very popular. As long as she works hard, there will be no problem." Lin Nan smiled and joked. He admired Yang Mi very much. If the latter could put this energy and determination into other places, such as honing her acting skills, then it would be great, but it's a pity... "Work harder? How hard must she work to complete the bet?" Liu Yifei compared herself and couldn't imagine how hard Yang Mi, whose commercial value was far less than hers, had to work to achieve her goal? And Jiaxing, doesn't it rely on Yang Mi? "Work hard... Completely become a working machine." Lin Nan nodded and said very affirmatively. Apart from this, which company dares to take such a big bet bill when there is only one first-line artist? Moreover, Jiaxing Media is not a serious production company, and it can't produce a low-cost and popular movie or TV series exclusively to make hundreds of millions directly! "Working machine? Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed. Hmm? Then can she still guarantee the quality of filming?"

Liu Yifei curled her lips and instantly thought of the key point.

"In the past few years, except for the two months when she was pressed in the crew of "Love in Seattle 2", when have I seen her have such a thing as "filming quality"? "

Lin Nan was amused.

At this moment, any normal person in the circle should be able to foresee that in the next two years or so, Yang Mi will only be more crazy about filming, running notices, and accepting endorsements... accepting everyone!

"It will be very tiring... year after year without soul repetition and going through the motions... will only continue to waste and overdraw yourself until you burn out..."

Liu Yifei didn't say anything too harsh, so she could only describe it this way.

"Have you two rested enough? The crew can start filming! Who would dare to believe it if it was told to others? Directors and producers are the most lazy!"

In the distance, Ning Hao complained about Lin Nan and Liu Yifei without any hesitation, not giving them face at all.

All the actors around, including Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, as well as the crew, Golden Shield, and relevant departments, couldn't help laughing.

"Here we go, we'll start filming."

Lin Nan stood up from the folding chair with a smile and walked out of the tent; while Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Ning Hao in annoyance, and she must "whisper" to that sister when she has time!

...

While Lin Nan and others were filming the long scene of rescuing the tainted witness, news also came out from several movies in the film circle at the same time.

"Jointly produced by Huayi and Dongyang Meila, directed by Feng Xiaogang and written by Liu Zhenyun, the film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" has announced the completion of casting..."

"After Li Bingbing won the leading female role in Lin Nan's "Operation Mekong", the second of the two Bings, Fan Bingbing, won the leading female role in "I Am Not Madame Bovary"!"

"Actors Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, Dong Chengpeng, Yu Hewei and others will star in the film "I Am Not Madame Bovary"; Director Feng Xiaogang said that the film will officially start shooting after "Old Cannon" is released."

"In the morning, the popular young actress Jing Tian appeared at the Capital Airport. She will set off for Hollywood to join the Warner and Legendary Pictures' 185 million US dollar fantasy blockbuster "King Kong: Skull Island"..."

"It is reported that Jing Tian will play the second female role in the film; she is one of the few female actresses born after 1985 in China who has appeared on the international stage several times..."

"Marvel's imported sci-fi blockbuster "Ant-Man" will officially land in theaters across the country on the 16th of this month..."

Huayi, in the conference room. Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei sat on one side of the long table;

On the other side sat Feng Shaofeng, Li Chen, Du Chun, and Yang Ying, who was in high spirits after her wedding.

She was not affected by any negative public opinion on the Internet, and now she is the boss of Huang Xiaoming's company, and her status in the circle is not low.

Around, several lawyers were checking the contract, but this did not affect the conversation and laughter of several people.

"The film and television entertainment industry is booming now. Performance betting is absolutely easy for you. It is not difficult. Now it is just to get the income in advance, and it is a premium!"

Hua Yi has always been led by Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun. At this moment, the former smiled and "flattered" the people in front of him.

"We definitely believe what Mr. Wang said, and we are very grateful to Hua Yi for giving this opportunity."

Without waiting for the others to speak, Yang Ying spoke first; she felt that she was already capital and that things were different now, and she took a posture.

No one in the room felt that Yang Ying's attitude was wrong. The entertainment industry is realistic. Huang Xiaoming is capital, and his wife is of course capital!

"The contract is correct."

"No problem!"

"It can be signed."

The lawyers brought by Yang Ying and others gave feedback one after another, and the few people were completely relieved and a little impatient.

"Then sign it. Sign the contract today. Tomorrow the group will officially announce it to the public. The funds will arrive within this week." Wang Zhongjun spoke.

"Yes, sign it!"

"Sign it."

...

Blank bullets can also hurt people!

Ning Hao carried the camera to take a close-up shot, and then was hit on the forehead by the shell of the blank bullet. It almost made everyone laugh to death.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you have a horn on your forehead, and it's a single horn! Haha..."

"You'd better pray that the swelling will go down within two or three days, otherwise what will others think of the school celebration in a few days? Ning Hao came out with injuries from Lin Nan's crew? What a crappy crew!"

Director Ning sat there, applying an ice pack, cursing.

"Then don't worry, two days is definitely enough, and he will definitely recover as before; even if he is not completely healed, it will definitely not be seen."

Liu Yifei said confidently, helping Lin Nan to be consistent with the outside world; she has filmed a lot of fighting scenes and has experience!

"Hey, forget it, let's talk about the progress. According to your shooting plan, we can finish all the scenes in Yunnan before the morning of the 16th. After returning to attend the school celebration, Yifei really won't come with you?" Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately looked at Lin Nan, with some expectation and warning in her eyes. "If she doesn't come with you, leave her in the capital. She can go out with Shu Chang and Na Jie when she has nothing to do. She just got married. Besides, the script of a TV series should be ready, and Hongxingwu just took over." Lin Nan shook his head at Liu Yifei and dispelled her idea; Miss Liu had a lot of fun these days and didn't want to go back. "If you don't want to come with me, then don't come with me. You make me look like I'm a treasure." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and was quite "disdainful". After checking the time, Lin Nan shouted to the logistics team, "It's almost six o'clock. Let's stop here today. The crew should pack up and go back to the hotel!"

When everyone was packing up, a soft hand appeared on Lin Nan's waist, and she whispered sweetly: "Director Lin, you're dead!"

"I'm tired after filming all day."

"Hmph, I'm not tired!"

"Uh..."

Liu Yifei is indeed a heroine. She keeps her word, but she also takes advantage of others' misfortunes... In the evening, Lin Nan was dealt with!

The next morning, the entire film and entertainment industry was dazzled by Huayi's announcement.

The night before yesterday, Jiaxing held a celebration dinner, and the announcement of the gambling agreement was still on the hot search!

Huayi followed closely and did something else? And it was an acquisition plus a gambling, just like the acquisition of Zhang Guoli's company; but the scale of funds used for the acquisition this time far exceeded the total amount of funds when Zhang Guoli's company was acquired, which was three times!

"Huayi Group issued an announcement:

After the full vote of the board of directors, Huayi now uses 756 million yuan in cash to acquire 70% of Dongyang Haohan Pictures, which is 100% owned by Yang Ying, Feng Shaofeng, Li Chen, Du Chun and others; both parties voluntarily signed a performance betting agreement..."

"It is reported that the content of the betting agreement signed by Huayi and Dongyang Haohan is briefly summarized as follows:

Dongyang Haohan Pictures' celebrity shareholders must complete a quantitative performance target every year within the next 5 years, that is, the deadline is December 31, 19, for 5 consecutive years. The performance target increases by 15% year by year; if it is not completed in any year, it is necessary to make up the profit by itself and hand it over to the company..."

"According to the information query on the official website of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Dongyang Haohan Pictures was established less than three days ago!"

"According to the analysis of industry insiders, Huayi's acquisition of Dongyang Haohan Pictures at a premium of nearly 100 times is completely unreasonable..."

…………

The word "bet" has suddenly become the most talked-about word on the entire network.

A company that was established less than three days ago, 70% of its shares were sold for 756 million? A premium of nearly 100 times?

Not only were there doubts everywhere on the Internet, but even people in the industry thought it was a joke that was ridiculous and outrageous to the extreme!

Isn't this just trying to turn the stock market and investors' money into their own private property? !

But this is an open conspiracy and cannot be "convicted"!

Because Huayi's operation is legal and compliant, that is, acquiring companies and betting on performance! As for the valuation of this company, Huayi decides it by itself!

But the market changes rapidly. In five years, who can guarantee that those stars can always be first-line and make money?

But it is undeniable that no matter what the final outcome of the bet is, investors will not see any gains anyway;

And no matter whether you win or lose, the ones who make money are Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, and even the stars in the vast world, but the former will definitely get the big share!

Taking a step back, considering the high salaries and high endorsement fees in today's film and television entertainment industry, stars' money is definitely more stable than that of production companies!

In other words, even if Dongyang Haohan's bet fails and needs to make up for the profits, the gap will definitely not be much.

The 756 million that Yang Ying and others received in the early stage was already a huge profit!

Therefore, Huayi’s shareholders will definitely be the ones to fill the hole in the end!

"It's really amazing, easily worth hundreds of millions!"

From the crew of "Operation Mekong", Ning Hao said with emotion.

"It's amazing, haven't you noticed? Only Hua Yi does this in the film and television industry! The front foot is Zhang Guoli's company, now it's Dongyang Haohan, and now it doesn't even pretend to be pretending, it directly acquires the newly established shell company !”

Lin Nan said pointedly.

"how to say?"

"Isn't this what Internet companies and the financial industry do, and Huayi does it even better!

Shangshi Pictures invested in Jiaxing, and others also provided channel resources and equivalent exchanges; the fundamental purpose is also to hope that the latter can successfully go public in exchange for greater benefits. This includes CCB Culture’s previous investment and bet on Xiaoma!

But look at Huayi, they are not investing and gambling, but acquiring and gambling! We are not trying to make the other party develop better and go public, but we are directly asking for performance, beating our own investors in a roundabout way..."

"This, from what you said, it seems to be true! Isn't this just digging the roots?"

Lin Nan didn't expect that Ning Hao could say the word "dig root", but he was indeed right:

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei had previously "de-filmed", that is, using Huayi's money to develop other businesses. Although it was unreasonable, it would not damage Huayi's foundation too much;

But now there is a trend of "going crazy", that is, directly inserting a tube into the root of the big tree Huayi to suck blood, sucking blood in big mouthfuls!

"We are digging our roots. When Huayi one day digs himself out of the leading position of listed companies in the film and television industry, the industry will almost have a whale fall..."

Lin Nan joked with a faint smile. By then, small capital in the film and television industry will definitely bloom everywhere!

"I'm afraid we still have to wait for a long time!"

Ning Hao didn't have much expectations, he already had capital.

"Director Lin, Li Bingbing is here." At this time, the assistant ran into the tent.

"Are you at the hotel or the crew?"

"He's just outside, talking to Producer Liu."

"Good attitude, dedicated!" Ning Hao couldn't help but praise with a smile.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao walked out of the tent and saw Li Bingbing in sportswear and two assistants joking with Liu Yifei on the grass in the distance. Zhu Yawen was also there introducing the shooting sentence by sentence. schedule.

"Are you here early?"

"Director Lin, it's not early. Come here in advance to adapt to the crew, and leave a good impression on Director Lin and Producer Liu. Maybe you can ask me to act again in the future?"

As expected of a long-famous big flower, she just knows how to talk.

…

Starting from the afternoon, "Operation Mekong" once again entered into intense shooting.

Lin Nan wanted to rush as much as possible to see if he could finish the scene in Yunnan on the afternoon of the 15th, which only took two and a half days.

In this way, he can stay with Liu Yifei in the capital for one more day. After attending the school anniversary on the 17th, he will fly over on the morning of the 18th, and then set off with the crew to Bangkok and the Golden Triangle... Of course, the relevant departments must accompany him.

Capital, Enlight Pictures.

Today is the 20th day of the release of "囧 in Hong Kong". This movie has shown obvious fatigue and is unable to succeed.

"Director Wang and Director Xu, as of this morning, the total box office of "囧 in Hong Kong" is 1.745 billion. The daily box office..."

When they heard the figure of 1.745 billion, Wang Changtian and Xu Zheng were both happy and regretful; they were happy because of the high box office, but regretful that they missed the 2 billion mark.

"Tell me, how much is the daily box office left?"

Wang Changtian knew what the secretary was hesitating about. The daily box office data should be very poor!

"There are only more than 5 million. The prediction given by Wanda Cinema is that in the remaining 10 days, the box office will most likely not exceed 30 million."

"In other words, there is a high probability that the final total box office will not reach 1.775 billion?"

Xu Zheng sighed reluctantly, and then asked: "What about "Charlotte Troubles"?"

From what he saw, "囧" and "Charlotte" have a feeling that they are better than each other. If they were not in the same time, the box office of "囧" would definitely be higher.

"After two weeks of release, the total box office is more than 1.53 billion, and the daily box office is still around 40 million."

"I really let Lin Nan say it for sure. A comedy movie with a box office of 1.5 billion+ is as good as "囧"!"

Wang Changtian couldn't help but smile, and looking at it like this, the total box office of "Charlotte Trouble" may really exceed "囧"! But fortunately, I gained all the light.

Unlike Wang Changtian's smile, Xu Zheng was really a little aggrieved.

My own movie "囧" is a series, and with such great momentum, it is unexpectedly counterattacked by a movie with no big names and only small actors!

At this moment, he thought of Bao Bei'er, who had the most negative reviews of "囧" on the entire Internet. He really regretted using a bag!

…

Lin Nan Films.

Jiang Yuerou is on annual leave, and the company only has one senior executive, Yue Jun, which makes him even busier.

"Go and notify Reba and ask her to fly to the set tomorrow morning. Her scene is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, Director Yue."

The assistant turned around and was about to leave, going to the artist studio floor, but was stopped again.

"Let me inform all the brands that have come to inquire about the news before that the advertising investment for "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Detective Chinatown" has officially begun, and you can submit bids. Then spread the news..."

After Yue Jun finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the assistant left with peace of mind.

The reason why he arranged this was because the people who took the initiative to inquire about investment advertisements were all brands that he had cooperated with before or had never successfully cooperated with them, so they must have priority.

As for Lin Nan's first commercial film after winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, the Golden Bear Award, and the Academy Award for Best Director, and it is also the first time he has dabbled in detective, action, and comedy films, I think the brand owners The level of looting will definitely be intense!

Because the gimmicks of "Detective Chinatown" are already full, this movie doesn't even need any more promotion!

…

“The box office market in general has entered a sluggish stage, but the majority is still in the hands of ‘Charlotte’… we will have to wait until the Lunar New Year period.

In addition, so far this year, films participated by Lin Nan Films account for a large proportion of the total box office output of the film market! It can even be said that the proportion is very large, reaching 12.2%..."

The General Administration, a group of state-owned enterprises, production companies, and theater chains are having a meeting.

After all, it's already October, and there are still a few small meetings that need to be held to lay the groundwork before the year-end meeting. As for Lin Nan Pictures, because Yue Jun couldn't leave, only a middle-level person came.

"As for Lin Nan Pictures' unilateral 'blocking' of Anle Cinemas, the Bureau really needs to resolve it; facts have proven that they are capable of achieving a 'box office monopoly'!"

"First of all, there is no such thing as a 'monopoly' at the box office; secondly, choosing which theater chain to exclude other people's movies is a private matter; both parties can resolve it privately and don't bring it here to discuss it."

Tong Gang interrupted the speech of the Hong Kong film circle representative angrily, and many people at the scene were happy to see the joke.

Please understand, this is the capital, not Hong Kong. Why do you come here to give Lin Nan Pictures eye drops?

At least 99% of the theater representatives present were on Lin Nan's side. Firstly, Lin Nan Pictures is a big box office player, and secondly, we are competitors with Anle Cinemas, and we hope that the other party will die.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting adjourned.

"Today is the 13th, which is only 4 days away from Nortel's 65th anniversary on the 17th. Lin Nan will probably receive an Outstanding Alumni Award, right?"

Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanping walked side by side, making La Peikang in the distance feel a little "chest tight".

"Isn't this obvious?"

Han Sanping replied that he and Han Jianu were also arriving that day.

"Director Han?"

Before Ren Zhonglun could speak, La Peikang's voice floated over from afar.

"La Dong, what's going on?"

Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun both stopped, waiting to accompany Kang.

"It's time to sign up for the Huabiao Award. It's up to Director Han to remind Lin Nan."

"Huabiao?!"

When La Peikang said this, Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun reacted instantly.

Originally, the biennial Huabiao should be held this year after 13 years; but due to some reasons, the decision was postponed by one year, which means it was pushed to June next year.

The registration time is almost at the end of this month or the beginning of next month!

"Lin Nan said that he would go to Huabiao."

Han Sanping emphasized. For China Film, if the Golden Rooster is a small glory, then Huabiao is a political achievement that can really be written into the archives!

"It's better to remind you." After La Peikang finished speaking, he walked away.

"Why……"

Han Sanping looked at the figure walking away and couldn't help but sigh.

When he turned back to look at Ren Zhonglun, he found that his expression was not very good either.

"What's wrong with you? You suddenly turned dark, as if I owe you money?"

"If it wasn't for La Peikang's reminder, I almost forgot that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was going to the Huabiao Awards.

You are such a bad guy. You were the one who excluded Shanghai Film from this film project in the first place. Otherwise, how could there be no Shanghai Film in Huabiao next year..."

"Hey, it's been two years. I'm really a devil of a man, with a small belly and chicken intestines..."

Han Sanping joked with a smile.
