That year Huayu

Chapter 839 A good experienced boss; Shanhai Academy...

Directed by Lin Nan and jointly produced by 7 top giants in the production industry, the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong" has appointed the first actor for this movie!

Once this gossip in the industry spread, its popularity immediately matched the "big event" of Lin Nan Pictures' unilateral "blocking" of Anle Cinemas.

Actors and artists in the industry are all restless and eager to try.

But what everyone doesn't know is that this is actually the second actor cast in the film.

At the same time, the online voting campaign for the movie "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has passed the halfway mark.

The current data is simply shocking to the film and television industry.

Because Liu Yifei has not done any publicity at all, has not issued any press releases, and has never even mentioned topics related to "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" from beginning to end...

She ranked first with an overwhelming number of votes!

Following closely behind is Shu Chang. After all, her nationality is not inferior to that of Miss Liu.

And the vixen back then was also the first love in the hearts of countless people - "Lotus Lantern": Xiaoyu.

It was Yang Mi who clung to Shu Chang and even came and went. Speaking of red, she is really red!

After the top three, there are a series of popular actresses such as Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Bai Bing, Yang Ying, Ni Nai, etc.

The votes of these people were all about the same, whether they were true, false, or watered down. Anyway, the battle was tense for a while, and the fight was inextricable.

Contrary to the actress vote, the male actor vote seems a bit boring.

Because there are so many candidates, netizen participation is not high, and no actor has an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, in the opinion of many people in the industry, in the end it may be up to Alibaba Pictures' production team to decide on the leading actor, rather than relying entirely on voting.

…

Company, office.

Lin Nan glanced at the "apology letter" sent by Anle Pictures with a rather teasing expression.

This is just a process, one of the items in the General Administration’s notification document.

And Anle Pictures is just "acting according to the rules", because it can be seen from the wording and sentences of this "apology letter": it is very official and completely insincere.

"Director Lin, they probably didn't steal anymore.

But in addition to the aboveboard means of charity screenings, other small actions have not stopped, and some have even intensified. "

Although it is shameless to spend your own money to buy water injection at the box office, there is really no way to pursue it.

Lin Nan glanced at Yue Jun and said rather speechlessly:

"This is an old fox... he has his own money to pay for it. I heard that he will go to the Venice Film Festival next to sell the copyright."

"Leeks? The stock market? It's miserable! Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Yue Jun joked with a smile, and then got down to business:

"There is news from Guangguang. The distribution theater chain previously established for "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" has eliminated Anle.

In addition, the premiere and banquet are officially scheduled for August 4th, which is also the time to hold a celebration banquet for "Xiu Chun Dao 2"! "

"okay."

Speaking of "Xiuchundao 2", Lin Nan and Yue Jun were in a much better mood.

At the premiere, Lu Yang also said that he hoped that the box office performance would be guaranteed at 500 million and sprint to 600 million.

But now, after 23 days of release, the total box office has not only exceeded 600 million to reach 680 million, but it looks like it can even hit 700 million!

Because yesterday's daily box office was 5.03 million, and there are still 7 days until the movie is released.

As for another "The Return of the Great Sage", this is already a phenomenal blockbuster movie - the benchmark and flag for domestic animated movies.

After 23 days of release, the total box office revenue was 1.135 billion. Just yesterday, it appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Culture.

When the Venice International Film Festival opens in September, "The Return of the Great Sage" will undoubtedly be the top priority of Lin Nan Pictures' copyright transactions.

But when it comes to box office, "Pancake Man" and "Monster Hunt" are still unavoidable topics.

The former took 8 days and cut 980 million.

Although the daily box office has been cut in half due to word-of-mouth, and has dropped to just over 10 million, the 1 billion box office is definitely within reach.

Otherwise, why would Sohu and Dong Chengpeng open champagne at halftime and start preparing for the celebration banquet so early? Its cost is only 50 million!

Finally, there is "Monster Hunt" which is at the peak of public opinion.

Anle got 1.245 billion in just 9 days through various tricks. It truly proves the saying: A shameless person is invincible!

…………

In the afternoon, Bona and Wang Jing simultaneously announced "Macau 3", which really surprised the film and television industry and countless netizens.

From the perspective of the industry, the "Macau Storm" series has indeed made money, so much so that the lineup for the third installment is actually so luxurious:

"Produced by Bona, written and directed by director Wang Jing, "Macau 3" has officially completed its casting. The list of main actors is announced as follows:

Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Jialing, Li Yuchun, Xiang Yiqiang, Xiang Zuo..."

"After many years, God of Gamblers, Swordsman, and Long Wu reunite in "Macau 3"... The film will be officially launched in early August."

When Lin Nan saw the news, he subconsciously guessed that Liu Tianwang was filming a love movie again.

Because according to the usual nature of Hong Kong films, this kind of commercial series will only get worse and worse, until there is no more commercial value "squeezed out".

Unfortunately, "The Man from Macau 3" just meets this production characteristic - so Liu Dehua's favor is quite valuable, and I'm afraid he will have to take the blame and be scolded again!

"Ali Pictures has contacted Hongxingwu."

When Director Lin heard Liu Yifei say this, he immediately became energetic and put down the tablet in his hand.

"Are you really planning to do it?"

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, but wasn't the voting over yet?

"Nothing else was said, just an invitation to invite me to attend the film seminar later."

Miss Liu explained with a smile, and Lin Nan was enlightened. An IP movie, messing around, and there is still a seminar? !

"Then thank you for the invitation, so that we don't have to worry about it later."

"Changchang also received an invitation. I guess Alibaba has not missed any of the actors in the circle who were voted online."

Liu Yifei's analysis is very reasonable, and it seems that this possibility is indeed very high. This hype is definitely another top gimmick and public opinion explosion point.

"You two should stay away. Fans hope that you will accept it, that's just a good wish. This is a pit, don't jump. At least it will not benefit you two."

"I know that a movie cannot finish such a long story, it will only be fragmented. I have followed you for these years, and I have made progress in the script."

Liu Yifei pouted and rolled her eyes at Lin Nan in annoyance. He actually looked down on her and warned her so many times!

...

The summer vacation is about to be halfway through, and the time at the end of July seems to have passed quickly. 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th!

Huayi's "Fate" was only released for 5 days after its release on the 24th, and was hastily withdrawn on the 29th.

Its total box office was reported to be 37.78 million, and 90% of the box office was earned on the first and second days of its release, which is terrible.

But there is no choice, who can blame the several movies in the same period for being too fierce!

On the morning of the 30th, the summer season officially entered the "battlefield" of the second half. Because two blockbusters were released at the same time.

"Jointly produced by China Film Group, Xiaoma, Huayi, LeTV, and Youzu, directed by Wu Yusen, and starring Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, etc., the movie "The Crossing: The Other Shore" was officially released this morning."

"Director Wu Yusen was interviewed by reporters in Hong Kong Island and emphasized: "The Crossing: The Other Shore" is the real essence of the movie "The Crossing", and "The Crossing (Part 1)" is the perfect preparation for it. I hope that fans and audiences can calm down, put aside their prejudices, maintain patience, and don't miss it..."

"Produced by China Film Group The film was co-directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou and Cheng Shiqing, and starred by Fan Bingbing, Li Ming, Wu Zun and Ning Jing.

The large-scale historical costume film "The Woman of the Dynasty·Yang Guifei" took 6 years to shoot and produce, and it has officially landed in theaters across the country this morning..."

"According to the data from the theater, due to the extremely poor reputation and box office of the previous work, the comprehensive screening rate of "The Crossing: The Other Shore" was only 3.6%; the first-day screening rate of "The Woman of the Dynasty·Yang Guifei" was 20.1%. "

...

Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to the outside movie information.

After breakfast at nine o'clock, he was ready to leave for the company. Before leaving, he asked Liu Yifei again if she wanted to go together, but was still decisively rejected.

At this time, someone in Lin Nan Pictures arrived earlier than Lin Nan.

On the third floor, the large conference room.

The last time all the artists met, I don't know how long ago it was.

Today, several people sat together again, and there was still a kind of "nostalgia", but everyone's smile was a little sad.

"I say, Lao Lei, what are you doing here? This is about us signing actors, and it has nothing to do with you, who runs a studio?"

Zhang Yi still looked like an old-fashioned man, teasing Lei Jiayin on the side, and this scene also made Zhao Liying and Reba laugh.

"Just watch the fun, you have already seen the fun before. Besides, what is a contracted actor? After today, they are all studio bosses and workers!"

Lei Jiayin is also a double-faced person, and he laughed and retorted.

But this also made the three people on the opposite side a little unnatural.

"In fact, the company does this for our good, giving us an opportunity to move up. Anyway, I have gained a lot in the past few months. Well, win-win!"

"Gained a lot? Look at you, your income has doubled?"

"Hehehe... Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this."

Looking at Lei Jiayin's wretched appearance, Zhao Liying and Reba's nervousness was relieved a lot.

Just then, Jiang Xingrou pushed the door in with her assistant.

"Director Jiang."

"Director Jiang."

...

Four greetings, almost in unison.

"Well, sit down. Director Lin just arrived. He is in the office now and will come over later."

As she spoke, Jiang Xingrou signaled her assistant to pass out the three file bags in her hand.

At this moment, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, and Reba all became serious and took the file bags one by one. .

"This is the artist agency contract you signed with the company. Zhang Yi signed with Lin Nan Films, and Liying and Reba signed with Shanhai Media..."

The file bag was opened, and three contracts came into view.

Zhang Yi's copy was obviously a little yellowed. After all, in two months, 9 years will have passed!

"As long as we're all here."

Lin Nan's voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lin Nan, Yue Jun, and two assistants and administrators.

Another round of greetings ended, and the conference room became even quieter than before.

"Zhang Yi's contract expires in September next year; Reba still has two years and eight months left; Xiao Zhao's longest contract is three years and nine months, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Nan's question, the three people nodded immediately.

"Director Lin, why..."

Lin Nan raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Yi's inquiry.

"Listen to me. The company plans to open a studio for you and transfer all your remaining contract time into the studio contract. Of course, the length of the studio contract will not be short.

The reasons for this are as follows:

First, the current film and television industry's remuneration, endorsements, announcements... the market continues to skyrocket.

Working for yourself will definitely make you more passionate, and the company will make more money! Am I right, Lei Jiayin? "

Lin Nan joked with a smile. Lei Jiayin chuckled but said nothing.

"Second, there is the issue of the income of actors and artists. You will earn more and more and it will become easier and easier. When it comes to paying taxes, studios will definitely be more favorable than individuals and pay less.

But I want to warn you here, please remember: supporting you to open a studio allows you to legally avoid taxes, but it does not allow you to evade taxes, evade taxes, and evade taxes! "

"Third, although I don't want to admit it, this is a fact: in China, actors only rely on their youth, unless you are a real actor.

Actors with acting skills become more popular as they get older, like Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin. Of course, more acting actors can still only make ends meet, which involves many practical issues.

As actresses grow older, their competitiveness will become lower and lower, and they need to be promoted to capital as soon as possible. Even if you can't get promoted smoothly, you must at least save enough wealth for yourself! Only then can you stay calm in the circle. "

After Lin Nan said this, he looked at Zhao Liying and Reba, especially Reba.

"Reba, you have made more money for the company than the three of them in the past two years. Is it hundreds of millions?"

Lin Nan asked Jiang Yuerou about the last words.

"Well, hundreds of millions, after tax."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and Zhao Liying were all shocked.

Reba smiled sheepishly: "It's all cultivated by the company, and "Running Man"..."

"When a popular actress is young, her ability to earn more money than her male counterpart.

After setting up a studio, the resources given to you by the company will not be reduced, and there should be more resources from outside. Save more money for yourself to be prepared. "

Lin Nan smiled and told Reba that he should be considered a good and experienced boss in the film and television industry!

"Yeah, thank you, Director Lin. I want to see Sister Yifei today. Is she at home? Or is there an announcement?"

"I'm busy writing wedding invitations at home, you can go and help."

Lin Nan nodded, his voice very soft. Ms. Liu attaches great importance to weddings. He feels that handwritten invitations will be more cordial for some guests.

The four artists here are not stupid. They can tell that the company is for their own good and it is a win-win situation.

"Okay, I'll go help."

To be honest, the other three are still very envious of the relationship between Reba and Liu Yifei.

Because they all know that Liu Yifei can influence Director Lin's movie casting and decide on roles...

While several people were muttering in their hearts, so was Lin Nan.

The four artists of the company are all on the front line.

But only Reba is on the traffic star route. Although her ability to attract money is number one, she also has the biggest shortcomings, weaknesses, and flaws, so we can only give her more care and support!

"Although the company's profit has never come from the artist management business, you have indeed made a lot of money for the company. I hope that in the future... we will continue to work hard! Four bosses?"

Lin Nan's joke instantly livened up the atmosphere.

"Director Lin, this is your true intention, right? Haha..."

"I'll work hard!"

…

"Okay, let's talk about the studio. Your studios are all in this building, on the same floor. The company will clean them up as soon as possible.

As for the contract period, it starts at 5 years and reaches a maximum of 9 years... 10 years is impossible! Divide into proportions..."

While Lin Nan was talking, Yue Jun had already placed several contracts in front of the three of them, letting them browse through them.

What made Lin Nan satisfied was that Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying and Reba didn't pay much attention to it and were just waiting to sign the contract.

After more than half an hour, the signing was completed, and Zhang Yi asked a question.

"Director Lin, our studios are all affiliated with Shanhai Media... Will Shanhai Media really stop signing artists at all in the future?"

"Yes, but the studio of the four of you can sign artists, which can be regarded as indirectly relaxing the restrictions.

Of course, the main thing is that you can sign the artists yourself. But remember, if you want to sign someone, character is the first priority! Director Yue or Director Jiang will inspect it. "

Speaking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but think of other things:

"Perhaps one day, the studio of the four of you may even 'move' away from Shanhai Media."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because Shanhai Media may change its name to Shanhai Cinema Line...but this is only a possibility. There is a high probability that a new company will be established, and it will be called: Shanhai Cinema Line!"

After Anle's incident, Lin Nan really included theaters in his plans for the first time.

But when will it be implemented specifically? It probably won’t happen in the next few years!
