That year Huayu

Sometimes, Lin Nan didn't know how to evaluate Zhang Weiping.

He is a pure businessman, and precisely because he is a businessman, he looks at all the points where he can make money.

"All the people invited to the scene are production companies. He hopes that everyone will unite and put strong pressure on the theaters to increase the current bill-sharing ratio..."

Yue Jun said very excitedly, and it was obvious that he supported Zhang Weiping's move.

But Lin Nan was a little indifferent.

Although Zhang Weiping's selfishness is also in line with the interests of the producers, the current status of the domestic market has not yet developed to the point where the producers can overwhelm the theaters.

Those who take the initiative are still those professional theater companies, which control more than 80% of the theaters in the country!

Maybe some production companies have a few theaters in their hands, but they are all small and fragmented and cannot be put on the stage.

Although "Thirteen Girls" is a much-anticipated blockbuster, it is the domestically produced blockbuster with the largest investment this year, and major theaters are eagerly waiting for its release.

But only Zhang Weiping has this kind of bargaining chip. Most production companies don't have "Thirteen Hairpins" or Zhang Yimou.

"Director Lin?"

Seeing Lin Nan's calm look, Yue Jun asked.

"There shouldn't be many companies that agree to him on the spot, right?"

Lin Nan asked with an affirmative tone.

Yue Jun nodded subconsciously:

"How does Director Lin know? All companies are interested, but most of them say they want to go back to report, discuss, and then reply..."

As he spoke, Yue Jun seemed to understand what Lin Nan meant, "In the end, they probably won't follow?"

"Well, most companies probably won't follow suit. How can they compete head-on with theater chains?"

Currently, only commercial blockbusters such as "Thirteen Hairpins" by big directors are qualified to compete head-on with theaters.

Because there are only a few movies a year, theater chains are pointing to it to make money. If other companies join in, they are seeking death.

Only when the market truly develops to a certain scale and the market is large enough, can both production companies and theaters be in a state of balance, and no one can control the other. Now, it's still a little bit worse.

"He should focus on winning over you, right?" Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and guessed with a smile.

"Hehe, Director Lin is right. Including us, the Huayi family are all targets of being attracted, but none of us expressed our position on the spot."

It seems that Zhang Weiping knows very well that there are only a few domestic film production companies that can have influence on theaters.

These companies all have one thing in common, that is, they have big directors who can sell commercial films.

At this point, Lin Nan is very confident in himself, and he is definitely the target of being attracted.

"Director Lin, what does our company mean?" Yue Jun continued to ask.

Lin Nan thought for a while and made a calculation in his mind:

"'Thirteen Hairpins' will be released in two months, and the only one who is anxious is Zhang Weiping. If he wants other companies to charge with him, how is that possible? None of them are fools.

As for us, when he starts making trouble, we will just support him. After all, revolution has never been successful the first time. "

As a producer, Lin Nan absolutely supports increasing the share ratio.

But the position of taking the lead is too risky. Since Zhang Weiping intends to put pressure on theaters, let him take this position.

"Director Lin, what if he asks for our answer these days?"

"Then tell him clearly that we support it, but only after he speaks out. But if you want us to act together with him, that's impossible.

I think other companies should have the same attitude. Even worse, they might just yell a few words..."

Lin Nan replied casually, there was no need to deal with Zhang Weiping in such a matter.

…………

The National Day holiday is over.

"Painting on the Wall" has reached 130 million, and the daily box office at this time is still just over 7 million.

Guangguang's press releases were sent out one after another, all of which were "good news."

On the other hand, look at "The Legend of White Snake". Although the total box office is also 130 million, the daily revenue has dropped by 5 million.

From the box office success in the first few days to the public outcry, it took a sharp turn.

"The Legend of White Snake" staged a "collapse of the middle road" drama for the industry, directly booking the title of the biggest joke in the film industry this year.

It is an inevitable fact that the box office was surpassed and crushed by "Painting on the Wall".

I don’t know if Yang Zai is really crazy or pretending to be stupid, or if he wants to hype it up again.

Juli Films actually announced on Weibo that the sequel to "The Legend of White Snake" has been approved and will start filming from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.

And they have invited Jet Li to continue to participate, and the sequel will also be made into a 3D version.

Needless to say, this news really attracted a lot of attention.

But when Yang Zai "learned lessons" and "looked forward to the future" in front of the media, he was slapped in the face again.

Li Lianjie's assistant took the initiative to contact the media:

"We have not received an invitation and will not participate. When we were filming "The Legend of White Snake", we agreed that we would only make a cameo.

But after joining the cast, the producer, Juli Pictures, kept revising the script and adding more scenes, turning the original two days of filming into 25 days of filming.

Due to the reputation of producer Cui Baozhu, Mr. Jet Li did not say anything, but he will never cooperate with Juli Pictures again in the future..."

You have a lot of experience in the industry, but there is actually someone who can get Jet Li for free? For the price of a broken bone, he tricked someone into playing the leading role, and it was all a fighting scene!

Reputation doesn't seem to matter anymore after it gets stinky.

Just like Yang Zai, he looked completely proud of it and used this incident as a promotional selling point. He didn't give Li Lianjie even a trace of face, and even mocked him for being so arrogant...

When Lin Nan saw this gossip, he admired Yang Zai's thinking.

It might have just been a matter of losing a movie. This move of his will completely eliminate his future in the film and television industry.

With this kind of personality, which big-name star or company would dare to cooperate with him in the future? You have to always be on guard against being stabbed in the back by Yang Zai.

…………

Lin Nan went to the crew of "Search" and visited the second shift.

Apart from Ning Hao and Guo Fan, he has never visited any other directors.

But regarding Yang Mi, we still have to return the favor.

This time, Lin Nan finally got to see Director Chen on the set.

Every great director has his own style. Lin Nan agreed with this statement.

Just like this moment, Chen Hong led him to the filming crew, where Chen Kaige was explaining the scene to Gao Yuanyuan and Wang Luodan.

Director Chen's momentum made both actresses a little nervous.

It's obviously a drama, but Chen Kaige just wanted it to have the feel of an art film.

Lin Nan heard from Chen Hong that the script respects the original work and there is no major adaptation.

This is interesting. As long as Chen Kaige doesn't "tell stories", the movie will most likely reach a higher level!

…

Within two hours of the visit, there were reports online.

"Director Lin Nan, today I visited "Search", which talks about cyber violence."

"Director Lin visited the team, suspected to be due to Yang Mi's role-changing incident."

""Search" and "Hunting" belong to the same genre. Looking forward to Director Chen's "Search"..."

…

Lin Nan really couldn't stay with Chen Kaige's crew.

During the break, several actors were cautious when talking to Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, for fear of getting into trouble.

And Chen Kaige also maintained his posture and airs, enjoying the flattery and asking for advice, and giving guidance to a few people by the way.

This made Lin Nan a little scared. Aren't you tired?

Anyway, he has made so many movies and often joked and joked with the actors on the set, but it did not affect his status as a great director?

…………

When Lin Nan returned to the company, the employees told him that Guo Fan had been waiting for a long time.

Since the completion of "Passengers", Guo Fan has started preparing for his graduation.

I heard that the graduation process at the Management School is much more troublesome than that at the Directing Department. No, people will come and the company will come.

"You did a good job, come back and issue the certificate yourself." Lin Nan joked.

"Haha, what Director Lin said is that for this convenience, all that is needed now is your and Yifei's signatures."

Guo Fan handed over a few pages of forms, a list of materials for graduation from the School of Management.

Above is the information on "Passengers". From the preparation budget figures to the completion time of filming, it is very detailed. Yue Jun has helped stamp it.

Both the director and producer columns must be signed, proving that Guo Fan's graduation thesis is indeed from the crew of "Passengers".

Lin Nan picked up the pen, brushed it, and signed two names, his and Liu Yifei's.

"Are you being too perfunctory? At least take it back and let Yifei sign it for me."

Guo Ban smiled and took it, "Huh? Don't tell me, I really can't tell that it was signed by one person!"

Lin Nan smiled and said nothing. The name Liu Yifei signed looked more like the one he signed himself.

"When you finish your defense in the next year, it's time for you to work. Don't be lazy like Lu Yang, haha..."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Guo Fan chuckled and nodded. He thought so too.

"Lu Yang is indeed a bit lazy. He seems to have been a guest at the Busan Film Festival these two days.

But speaking of filming, does Director Lin have a ready-made script? "

Guo Fan asked with some expectation. Lin Nan's script is guaranteed, which is recognized in the industry.

"Well, you'll see the script after you sort out the school affairs."

"Okay, then just listen to Director Lin."

After more than half an hour, Guo Fan left the company.

…………

Speaking of the Busan Film Festival in the past two days, Huayi has done something big.

They signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Busan with UAM, an alliance of South Korea's six major brokerage companies.

This means that a large number of South Korean artists and idol stars will enter the mainland through Huayi.

After all, only people from small places enter the big market, and it cannot be the other way around. The only ones who take advantage will be the stick side.

Lin Nan's first reaction when he saw this news was, "The honeymoon period of the Chinese and Korean film and television cultural circles is coming!"

The fact was exactly as Lin Nan guessed.

The South Korean artists at the signing site were all well-known girl groups and boy groups there, and their intentions were obvious.

These domestic idols and starlets will probably be hung up and beaten when the time comes!
