That year Huayu

"The Orphan of Zhao" is released.

Although Director Chen had stumbled several times before, the audience still chose to believe in him.

The box office on the first day was 27 million! This data is already very good.

A large number of actors and stars expressed their opinions one after another, and there was endless praise.

"This data is stable. The minimum guarantee of 300 million is no problem, the probability of 400 million is not small, and there is hope for 500 million..."

"Director Chen is worthy of being Director Chen. A great director takes action, that's why he is so strong!"

…

"Laughing Out Loud", which was released a day earlier, also did well, with 22 million on its first day.

But compared to Chen Kaige, Zhao Benshan is much more low-key.

"We don't have big ambitions. We will be satisfied if the total box office reaches 150 million."

The comments from ordinary viewers online are quite interesting.

"I think "The Great Laughter" is better than "The Orphan of Zhao"..."

"Director Chen started high and low again. The second half of the movie seemed like a different director. It was so chaotic..."

"Huang Xiaoming and Ge You performed the Broken Back Feeling..."

"When can he get back to the level of Farewell My Concubine?"

"To sum up, Chen Kaige worked hard to make another bad movie!"

…

Unlike Zhao Benshan's box office increase on the second day, "The Orphan of Zhao" saw a direct drop of 4 million on Sunday.

But fortunately, in two days, the box office still climbed to 50 million.

Lin Nan saw the news that Chen Kaige and his wife were interviewed by the media.

“The audience needs to watch this movie several times to understand its deeper meaning.

I have subversively modified and filled in the original story to reveal the loyalty, humanity, and virtue in it..."

Sometimes, I have to obey Chen Kaige, he always firmly believes that he is right.

The praise from the stars in the circle slowly died down...

…………

"Director Lin, the special effects of "Painted Skin 2" are expected to be completed in late December."

Lin Nan nodded. It took five months, and the efficiency was already very good.

"What about the other two?"

"The Wall Painting is small in scale and will be completed by the end of this month; the Warring States Period is large in scale and will not be completed until next year."

"I see."

After the tiangongcai employees finished their report, they left the office.

Lin Nan looked at the annual meeting invitation letter that Huayi had sent a few days ago on the table with a playful expression.

"This is the first time I have attended another company's annual meeting..."

But Lin Nan also wanted to know how many shares Huayi would give him as dividends this time.

the next morning.

Liu Yifei and Lin Nan both got up early.

One is going to record a talk show, and the other is going to attend the Huayi Annual Meeting.

"Oh God! Can you change the outfit you are wearing?"

Lin Nan said with a speechless expression.

"I don't want to change. I think they look good. I have pink stockings."

Liu Yifei smiled and refused, saying that she had chosen this outfit for a long time.

"You really don't want to change?"

"Determined not to change!"

…

After persuading to no avail, Lin Nan had no choice but to give up. He kept his head down while eating, out of sight and out of mind.

In this way, Liu Yifei still wandered in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, very provocatively.

At around nine o'clock, two cars drove out of the villa area at the same time.

…………

The annual meeting of a listed company is full of pomp and extravagance.

Lin Nan is an outsider, and today he only cares about shareholder dividends.

Actors including Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Bingbing who left Huayi all came because of the stock deal.

"I'm going to sell it all in a few days."

Zhou Xun stood next to Lin Nan and whispered something.

"Have you made up your mind? Aren't you ready to wait for a higher price?"

Zhou Xun shook his head, "No, I'm not interested in these things in the first place. I have to thank you for making so much money."

"You're welcome."

Lin Nan thought about it for a while, Zhou Xun's little stock, he was too lazy to make that idea.

Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are different. Even if they leave, they still have a good relationship with Hua Yi.

At this moment, the two of them were hanging around Wang Zhonglei and others, chatting and laughing.

From time to time, actors would come to Lin Nan to say hello, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Hanyu...

Lin Nan saw many familiar faces.

Huayi has so many artists, including those from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Feng Yuanzhuo and others.

It is no exaggeration to describe Huayi at this moment as being at the peak of the sun. For the lucky draw for artists, all cash is prepared, ranging from hundreds of thousands to thousands.

In the end, there was a large group of artists who had nothing. Wang Zhongjun stepped forward and handed out consolation prizes of one thousand yuan.

"Director Lin, look at it. Those who have won small prizes or nothing at all are almost all small artists, aren't they?"

Zhou Xun said without leaving any trace.

Lin Nan glanced at it, and it was true that the leader was a girl with a little bun face, Zhao Liying.

After the affairs of Huayi's internal artists are finished, the next step is the highlight of the day, which is the increase in stock distribution and dividends.

Wang Zhongjun first drew a big picture for his own artists, "In the future, the company will continue to allocate shares to everyone..."

…

Star shareholders were named one after another to allocate additional shares.

Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jizhong, Feng Xiaogang...

Zhou Xun’s 1 million shares became 1.15 million.

Lin Nan's 8 million turned into 9.2 million...

Many small artists below looked at the front with envy. Those who allotted shares were all big names in the industry.

Many people whose contracts are about to expire have noticed Lin Nan...

"Perhaps, when the contract expires, you can try your luck at Shanhai Media?"

…………

As soon as Huayi's annual meeting ended, news from the outside world spread.

How many stocks Lin Nan and others held and how much they were currently worth were all reported.

"The stocks alone are worth nearly 300 million?"

"It's so rich..."

Zeng Jia and Yang Mi looked at each other, feeling the gap in status and wealth so intuitively for the first time.

"As an actor, I didn't know that I could earn so much money in the Year of the Monkey. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Director Lin..."

Yang Mi said with emotion.

She thought of Liu Yifei again, who was one of the producers of "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Xing Lun".

Unconsciously, they were already in two different classes.

"What are you thinking about? Let's take our time. Let's take a look at this song first. We'll record it in a few days."

Zeng Jia interrupted Yang Mi's thoughts. In her opinion, Yang Mi thought too much, which would affect her mood.

"What song is it?"

"The song sent by the crew is for you, the heroine, to sing the theme song. There will be one version for both men and women, and they will be placed in each episode."

Yang Mi took a few pages from Zeng Jia.

""The Offering of Love"?"

"Yes, the lyrics are quite catchy."

After looking at the lyrics on the staff, Yang Mi nodded and read out:

"Hold you in my hands and burn incense religiously, cut a piece of candlelight to light up the economy..."

Although she knew she was not good at singing, Yang Mi would never let go of the theme song she got.

…………

When Liu Yifei got out of the car wearing pink stockings, a knee-length printed skirt, a small suit, and black high heels, Lin Nan was a little bit dumbfounded.

If this were applied to other girls, it would definitely look shabby, but Liu Yifei managed to wear something different.

"They all say that I look good, but you are the only one who has any objection."

After not seeing each other for a day, the first thing Miss Liu said when she saw Lin Nan was this! Sure enough, girls have really good memories in this regard, they hold grudges!

"I just realized now that it's really pretty."

Lin Nan nodded and said seriously.

"Hmph, you look like you don't mean what you say, it's so fake!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, and then burst into laughter.

"However, I choose to believe you..."

…

The box office performance of "The Orphan of Zhao" was worse than that of "The Promise".

After 27 million on the first day, it went down all the way without any return.

Twenty million fell directly on the third day, fifteen million, twelve million, ten million on the fourth day...

No matter how much propaganda Chen Kaige and others try, they can't stop this downward trend.

Misfortune never comes singly. It was revealed that "The Orphan of Zhao" stole the box office, and videos secretly shot in the theater were posted online.

The money spent was for "Laughing in the River" and the tickets for "The Orphan of Zhao" were given.

Original words from the theater staff: It’s all the same and it won’t affect your movie watching.

The audience didn't care who did it, whether it was real or fake, they only recognized Chen Kaige, who instantly fell into the center of public opinion.

Coupled with the gossip about Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi, the topic of this movie has firmly occupied the headlines.

The public relations level of Fan Bingbing Studio is top-notch.

Lin Nan noticed the name of the publicity director and the woman behind Fan Bingbing, Yang Tianzhen!

…

"If You Are the One 2" and "Let the Bullets Fly" started their last promotion before release.

Jiang Wen's operation is very cool, and the last promotional video is full of useful information.

There are a lot of obscene inscriptions, bloody, violent, and nudity scenes.

This makes many people a little curious, how did it pass the review? He didn’t ask for rectification!

"Director Kai Ge's movie is probably hopeless. When I premiere it here, you must be there on time. Remember to take Yifei with you."

"Just because you're inviting people to support you, Director Chen at least sent me an invitation letter." Lin Nan joked.

"Which of us brothers will follow who? No need to be so polite, it's settled like this.

It's a pity that Zhang Yi doesn't have time. How about letting him take a leave of absence from the crew of "Pacific Rim"? "

What Jiang Wen thought was quite beautiful!

As soon as I hung up the phone, there was also a call from the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Nan guessed what was going on in an instant.

"Hello, Mr. Cai?"

"Director Lin, our movie "Step by Step" is going to start shooting in the next two days. You can send a supervisor over there..."

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it."

"I wonder if Director Lin is free this time. Like last time in "Sword and Sword III", he would like to come over to visit the class?"

Cai Yinong asked expectantly. If Lin Nan can come, the promotion of this TV series will be more effective.

"Not this time. The post-production of my film will take a long time, and there will be a lot of things to do after that. I will ask Yue Jun, on behalf of the company, and me to come over and visit the team."

Lin Nan simply refused. The last time he visited the cast of "Sword and Sword III", at least there were acquaintances such as Hu Ge. This time, he had no idea of ​​knowing the actor.

Hearing Lin Nan's decisiveness, Cai Yinong stopped forcing it, but he still felt it was a pity.

Film and television news reports came out quickly.

So far, Tangren's reputation in the TV industry is still very good.

"The clear-cut drama "Step by Step", jointly produced by Tangren Film and Television and Lin Nan Pictures, will start shooting in Hengdian in the near future."

"Starring: Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong..."

The media is like a cat that smells fish.

"Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Gong Lock Heart Jade", aren't these the materials for a head-on confrontation?

All of a sudden, all kinds of press releases came out, including the previous grievances between Yang Mi and Tang Ren...

…

Huayi has seen large order transactions for the first time since the stock ban was lifted.

Zhou Xun sold all the stocks at once and cashed out.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaoming sold two million shares...

In an interview, Zhou Xun said bluntly that he didn’t have much idea about stocks or anything else, and he just wanted to stop worrying about it after selling it.

Huang Xiaoming is also very direct. He wants to open a studio, sign artists, and make film and television investments, and he needs capital turnover.

He added that even if he sells some stocks, it will not affect his relationship with Huayi. Emotional intelligence is online anytime, anywhere!

…

"Lin Nan, does your company really have no plans to go public in the future?"

After a long time, Han Sanping called again to ask about this matter.

Bona was successfully listed on NASDAQ. It was the first domestic film and television company to be listed in the United States. The news spread and stimulated the entire film and television industry.

Everyone looked at their peers and finally settled on Lin Nan Pictures.

Looking at all the production companies, the one with the most outstanding performance is not Bona, but Lin Nan Pictures. No one in the industry doubts this.

The combined box office of the four movies this year is really scary!

"Your call is already the fifth I have received today." Lin Nan joked.

"Just tell me whether you have this idea? If so, please tell me that the higher-ups support the listing of private film companies!"

"No. I make the decisions for my own company, why should I bring in others?

I don’t lack that little money, so it’s pretty good now. "

Lin Nan answered simply. It was impossible for him to let Lin Nan Pictures go public.

“Okay, I get it.

You have such a big tone, look at other companies, which one is not rushing to go public? "

After hearing Lin Nan's clear statement, Han Sanping said no more.

After two days, not only the film circle, but also the financial circle knew that Lin Nan Pictures was a shady character.

When other companies hear the word "IPO", they all warmly welcome them, but it's different here with Lin Nan.

…

Heavenly colors.

Liu Yifei sat in a separate seat, watching the full version of "The Star" without any deletions, and was moved by herself from time to time, wiping a few tears.

"This version is very good. I can take it back and watch it with my mother, or I can shout it out together."

"Berlin invited me to bring this film over, what do you think?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei sat up instantly, "Really?"

It can be seen that the girl is very excited.

Lin Nan nodded, "Yeah, really."

Nothing happened as he expected. Liu Yifei did not urge him to agree, but sat down again after being happy.

Liu Yifei thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Lin Nan and asked seriously:

"I heard that the films that the Berlin Film Festival loves are never this kind of literary films, but realistic ones, right?"

"Yes, you are right." Lin Nan nodded and gave a positive reply.

"Then let's not go to Berlin. Let's try Cannes?"

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan with a pair of dark eyes, with a hint of expectation.

“It’s the most competitive place among the three major film festivals.

However, we can give it a try and treat it as a trip..."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and said softly.

"good."

Miss Liu instantly brightened up and shouted happily, with a bright smile on her face...

Today is still a chapter.

It feels worse than yesterday, and I think it will be over soon.

When I feel better these two days, I will recover...
