That year Huayu

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, who were about to leave work early and leave the company, were notified of a hot search news by Yue Jun.

"Splendid Young", co-produced by Tang Yan and starring her and Luo Jin, was sued two hours ago on the grounds that the original novel was suspected of plagiarizing 219 works.

A group of plaintiffs jointly requested that the TV series be removed from the shelves, just like the court ordered Mango Channel and the entire network to remove and block Yu Zheng's "The Palace".

"Although there may be big differences in content between the TV series and the original novel, generally this kind of lawsuit will affect the TV series to a greater or lesser extent, and it will inevitably affect the producer.

Generally speaking, it’s because the popularity and data of this drama in the past 20 days since its launch are so good that it’s eye-catching! "

Yue Jun shook his head with a smile, feeling somewhat sympathetic to Tang Yan and Luo Jin; for these two people, it was an unforeseen disaster. The key is that Luo Jin, the male protagonist, is still floating on the sea at the moment.

"Let me call Tangtang and ask. It stands to reason that her studio is one of the producers, and it must also be one of the defendants now." Liu Yifei curled her red lips and smiled helplessly.

"Well, you go ahead. Luo Jin won't be distracted outside and work hard for us." Lin Nan joked casually, but Miss Liu turned around and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Director Lin, there is one more thing."

"Tell me, you went to the office and stayed in the office for so long. It would be weird if nothing happened."

"Director Hu Mei came to solicit investment, but I rejected him." Yue Jun spread his hands, showing that although he did not give face to his seniors in the industry, his actions were completely reasonable and legal.

"Huh? Director Hu Mei is here to solicit investment? This is really new. How can she still lack investment?" Lin Nan was immediately surprised, even shocked.

Hu Mei is a classmate of Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige. He is a great director in the field of TV dramas. His representative works include "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Loyalty", "Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty", "Qiao Family Courtyard", etc.;

She also has many works in movies, such as "Confucius", but her influence and achievements are far less successful than her TV series, but she can still do it.

"Director Lin, you don't know, if she was looking for investment in a TV series, I would have approved it for her in the office just now without even thinking about it. But she was looking for investment in a movie, and..."

"And what? Say it." Seeing Yue Jun's expression of wanting to laugh, Lin Nan urged him repeatedly.

"She is going to make the movie "Dream of Red Mansions", and it will be a trilogy. It said that the script has been filed with the Film Bureau, and I checked it, and it was just announced this morning.

But that's "Dream of Red Mansions", and the 1987 version is there. The remake of the TV series has been criticized, let alone a movie. How to make a movie like this? Isn’t this seeking death?

Even if the backstage team from back then were moved over intact, it would be impossible. In the eyes of the audience, "Dream of Red Mansions" no matter how it is filmed, it will only be a sensational piece to 'make money'! "

Lin Nan nodded. He strongly agreed with Yue Jun's point of view. Indeed, in the current environment of the film and television industry, it is impossible for there to be another "Dream of Red Mansions", let alone a "Dream of Red Mansions" movie.

"It's right not to invest in her, but I have to say that Director Hu Mei is really persistent.

In the second half of 2007, when she was kicked out as the chief director of the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions", she announced that she would make "Dream of Red Mansions" by herself. Unexpectedly, almost 10 years later, the project has actually been approved! "

Lin Nan admires this persistence from the bottom of his heart. After all, this person will soon be in his 60s.

After a few words of teasing, Lin Nan went straight into the elevator. Liu Yifei should be waiting for him in the car. As for Han Jia'er, the father and daughter will probably have to work "overtime" for another hour.

Two minutes later, Director Lin turned off his phone and got into the driver's seat. Miss Liu glanced at him and then continued chatting with Tang Yan.

The latter's studio is indeed on the list of defendants, but Huace is the main prosecutor and will handle the matter with full authority.

In addition, the TV series will end its broadcast on the 9th of next month and will not be affected in any way.

As for the subsequent second and third rounds, nothing should happen until the "accident" is dealt with. As for whether the subsequent rounds and the entire network will be removed from the shelves, it depends on the outcome of the process.

"Why did you shut down your phone for no reason?"

After getting on the main road, Liu Yifei asked Lin Nan suspiciously. But before Lin Nan could reply, her mobile phone screen lit up again, and a call came in.

"Well, that's why I turned off my phone, but it's still here, haha..."

Liu Yifei answered the phone naively, turned on the speakerphone, and heard Lao Jiang's voice instantly: "Is Director Hu Mei going to your place?"

"Huh?" Liu Yifei was completely confused and looked at Lin Nan.

"I just left half an hour ago. Yue Jun received me and refused."

"First of all, let me explain to you. She came to the school beforehand and met with Director Tian.

To be honest, we are not optimistic about her "Dream of Red Mansions" project unless she can recruit a group of actors from all over the country and train them for two or three years. But is this possible? Totally impossible!

We can't stop her from seeking investment from you. After all, your reputation as a big business owner is deeply rooted in the school. You are always willing to accept the film projects of Director Cao and Director Xue..."

Lao Jiang kept complaining, and Liu Yifei finally understood: Director Hu Mei was very determined to shoot the "Dream of Red Mansions" trilogy, but no one invested in her, and now she is looking for money all over the world!

…

"Operation Mekong" opened the door to the Lunar New Year holiday, and the entire film industry was staring at it intently, just waiting for the sound of the first shot, that is, the first day box office.

On the morning of the 29th, when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were still sleeping soundly in bed, the bigwigs of Guangguang, Yinghuang, Wanda, Golden Shield, Shanghai Film and China Film had already woken up early.

At eight o'clock, when the first day box office data of "Operation Mekong" landed on the headlines of major portals and the top search list on Weibo, the entire film industry was "as expected" and made a sensation.

"The main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong", which is controlled by Lin Nan Films and jointly produced by Guangguang, Golden Shield, Yinghuang, China Film and Shanghai Film, has a strong box office of 301 million on the first day of its release..."

"After nearly 10 months, Director Lin Nan regained the first-day box office record of domestic films with the movie "Operation Mekong", which is 30 million higher than the 271 million first-day box office of "The Mermaid"!"

"Affected by the release of the movie "Operation Mekong", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Moana" "The daily box office of Hollywood imported films such as "I Am Not Madame Bovary" dropped sharply yesterday, and the screening rate dropped again today..."

"Feng Xiaogang's film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" was most seriously affected by "Operation Mekong"; the former's daily revenue plummeted from 8.87 million to 420,000 yesterday, and the total box office may unfortunately stop at 231 million. "

"According to the heads of many theater chains, because the daily box office of "Operation Mekong" showed a trend of overwhelming success, the theater chain has decided to completely abandon "I Am Not Madame Bovary"..."

301 million!

For the Chinese film industry, Lin Nan directly raised the threshold of the first-day box office to 300 million.

Although the single-day box office record of domestic films is still in the hands of "The Mermaid", which is 315 million; but the industry is aware of a fact, that is, the first-day box office is more difficult than the single-day box office.

"It is worthy of being directed by Lin Nan. This box office appeal is really unsolvable among domestic film directors!"

Zhang Mo looked at the news, then glanced at Zhang Yimou and Dong Ping, and couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't think Er Dongsheng's "The Sword of the Third Young Master" could pose even the slightest threat to this film, and the former would definitely be cannon fodder.

And the film that really had to face "Operation Mekong" head-on was undoubtedly her own father's "The Great Wall", because it was a true ancient costume fantasy special effects blockbuster.

"Director Lin is indeed amazing, but Director Zhang is a senior in the industry after all, and he is not inferior at all." Dong Ping raised his teacup and toasted Zhang Yimou with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou didn't say anything to refute, but just smiled and sipped his tea in response. Zhang Mo knew his mentality at the moment: once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years.

"Director Zhang, I came here this morning and I have nothing to say. Although your contract with LeTV still has one and a half years to run, Huanxi is serious.

Director Chen Kexin, Director Wang Jiawei, and Director Gu Changwei and Director Zhang Yibai in two days are all ready-made examples.

If you can come by then, I can guarantee that your treatment will be the highest, cash plus shares. A group of great directors sticking together, this power is absolutely unparalleled in China!"

Dong Ping looked at Zhang Yimou with a smile on his face, speaking clearly and sincerely. But Director Zhang did not respond, and continued to drink tea slowly.

It was not until Zhang Mo could no longer sit still and touched his father in a subtle way that Zhang Yimou spoke: "It's still early. It's completely meaningless to say this now."

"Maybe I didn't make it clear. Director Zhang, what I mean is this: if you can come, we don't need you to allocate shares at an ultra-low price like Director Wang Jiawei and others did. We will give you shares for free, and there are also hundreds of millions of cash; the only requirement is your personal contract and the priority investment right of the film..."

Dong Ping elaborated again in detail. His sincerity to Zhang Yimou is indeed different from that of Wang Jiawei, Chen Kexin and others, because Zhang Yimou is unique.

However, Director Zhang still looked calm and unmoved, and did not give in. After more than half an hour, Dong Ping had no choice but to say goodbye first and make an appointment next time... He would not give up.

"Dad, why are you..."

"Why am I so cautious this time? I'm scared. Besides, it's still early, no rush. Although Huanxi's model is very reasonable and ideal, but... it's still early, maybe there are other options?"

Zhang Mo swallowed unconsciously. She saw that her own father was waiting for a price. He wanted more, and Dong Ping didn't give enough!

...

Since getting up at 9:30, Lin Nan has been answering calls non-stop. Several producers of "Operation Mekong" have all called.

The purpose is only one: to share joy and happiness!

"Yes, Mr. La also called. But I have nothing to say to him. I just said a few perfunctory words and hung up."

"He must be regretting it now, right? Although Shanghai Film also has 5%, it still has "Dying to Survive" and "The Wandering Earth" later. What does China Film have for you? Nothing!"

Lin Nan has long been indifferent to this matter, so he didn't respond to Wang Changtian's words.

"I'm very curious now. Do you think he will be promoted or will he be the same as Mr. Han?"

"Director Wang, you are such a gossip. No matter whether he is promoted or retired, he is different from Director Han!"

Lin Nan corrected silently, and then saw Liu Yifei at the door waving to him, urging him. "Director Wang, come here, I'm going out. Oh, by the way, keep an eye on Baoqiang's side."

"I know, he is still running a road show. It seems that he went to your hometown today?!"

Outside the world, news about the super high box office of 301 million yuan on the first day of "Operation Mekong" continues to bombard the film industry, and Feng Xiaogang was singled out for ridicule and slapped in the face.

Because Lin Nan's daily revenue in one day crushed his total box office for more than ten days; not only that, "Pan Jinlian" was directly "squeezed out" of the theater chain!

The casting work had to continue, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were drowned out by congratulations from the actors waiting to audition in the company.

Han Jianu is a thief, and she takes advantage of the situation and demands that the feasts continue during this period, and that Producer Liu pays for it! Okay, of course it’s no problem, these are all small things.

On the morning of the 30th, although there was no hustle and bustle on the first day, "Operation Mekong" still delivered a box office of 255 million the next day, which was perfect and the envy of the entire production industry.

At this moment, Lin Nan no longer pays much attention to the box office, even though the whole circle is still staring and marveling at it; his mind has already shifted to Weibo's shareholder meeting tomorrow morning, and he doesn't know if it can be successful?

…

"Thank you Director Jiang, thank you Director Lin and the company. I will adjust the situation and be ready to join the team at any time."

Wang Chuanxuan received a call from Jiang Yuerou and was very excited for a moment. He got the role.

Not long after, the other person hung up the phone, but the joyful smile on Wang Chuanxuan's face still remained. The agent stood aside and was equally happy.

"I don't care what you are like in normal times. After joining the crew of "The God of Medicine" this time, you should learn more about your worldly skills. There are no disadvantages, only advantages!" After a moment, the agent warned seriously.

"I understand, I know what to do." Wang Chuanxuan also nodded very seriously.

"If you perform better this time and risk your life to act, you might really seize the opportunity.

Look, there are so many movies from big directors released during the Lunar New Year holiday. Which movie’s premiere have you been invited to? Is it "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang, or "The Ferryman" directed by Wang Jiawei? Not even one! This is the embodiment of coffee position and resources. "

"If you can't get into the premiere, then go to the theater. Then go watch "The Great Wall" or "The Ferryman" and slowly learn and improve. Haha..."

Wang Chuanxuan, who got the role, rarely laughed. But he is not joking, because he really knows how to go to the theater to enjoy and learn from the films of great directors!
