Chapter 394: Zhang Yimou Is Sending People In?

The news that Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping parted ways has become the focus of discussion in the industry.

But strangely, neither of the two parties appeared to speak, and the media wanted to interview them, but could not contact them.

"It's probably something, which is still under negotiation and has not come to a conclusion."

Lin Nan said his guess.

"What is it?" Liu Yifei was a little curious.

"It's nothing more than interests. As a big director, Zhang Yimou has filmed so many movies, and he gets a share of the box office.

Now that the contract has expired, there is no official statement, but the studio's people leaked the news.

It is obvious that the money that should be taken has not been received, or it is simply being dragged by Zhang Weiping..."

Several people heard Lin Nan's analysis and felt a little incredible.

Is there really anyone who dares to control Zhang Yimou?

"Let's not worry about those, get ready to make up, and start work."

Lin Nan urged, a group of people are really too gossipy.

...

...

"Xixi, get ready, action!"

A world map was spread on the table, and the camera was given to Liu Yifei.

At this time, she had made up her mind, and she looked confident and decisive.

"My idea is that you two take the exam in Hong Kong Island, and I will fly to a time zone where the exam starts earlier.

In this way, I will see the test questions a few hours earlier than you. After I finish, I will write down the answers and send them to you..."

...

"You can find some reliable classmates, they give money, and I will give the answers. Only in this way can I have money to study abroad with you without asking others..."

Hearing this, Luo Jin and the others instantly showed excitement.

"You go find customers, and leave the exam to me."

At this time, Luo Jin reacted, "How do you bring out the answers?"

"I can memorize them as long as there is enough time. But when I finish the questions, there may not be enough time. There are more than a hundred questions, and I estimate that I can only memorize half of them..."

"Half? How can that be possible?"

"So, I need a helper!"

…………

Zhu Yawen looked at Lin Nan with grievance. The following scene was really too difficult for him.

"Don't worry, it's just thrown into the garbage dump...

I specifically asked Ying Huang to find a real garbage dump, and strive for authenticity!"

After the words fell, Liu Yifei and others looked at Zhu Yawen jokingly, wanting to laugh but forcing themselves to hold back.

"Xiao Zhu, as a qualified actor, well, keep going!"

"Old Zhu, I'm counting on you, haha..."

...

Zhu Yawen looked bitter and sighed, "I'll try to get it through in one take."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded.

In a few years, if the actors are asked to roll around in the garbage dump, the draft will probably be published everywhere.

All the compliments are "dedicated" and "hard work", and maybe even in this case, a stand-in is used!

"Have you memorized the next plot and lines?" Lin Nan asked.

"Of course I have memorized them, do you underestimate me?"

The next plot is a turning point.

The male protagonist played by Zhu Yawen has a small laundry shop at home. On the way to deliver clothes, he scratched someone else's car.

After being beaten all over, he was thrown into the garbage dump. Therefore, he missed the application exam for a full scholarship to study abroad...

"Makeup, transition."

...

In the end, the heroine played by Liu Yifei set the number of people in this SAT cheating plan at 30, and they were all students from trustworthy wealthy families.

After all, each person had to pay 200,000 yuan. If there were more people, the risk would be too great, and if there were fewer people, it would not be cost-effective.

The heroine even agreed to give half of the money to Luo Jin and Shu Chang.

Outdoor scenes.

"Don't really fight when you fight later." Zhu Yawen said to several guest actors in a kind tone.

"Don't worry, we are all professionals, but just in case, you still have to focus on protecting special areas, haha..."

Lin Nan teased, causing Lao Zhu to roll his eyes, and Liu Yifei and others to laugh.

"Ready, action!"

It can only be said that Zhu Yawen was unlucky. He failed one, two, and was beaten up three times before he finished filming this scene.

The next scene was the shot of him waking up in the garbage dump the next morning with injuries all over his body.

…………

After work in the evening, I returned to the hotel.

Lin Nan saw a lot of missed calls, all from Yue Jun, so he called back.

"I didn't bring my phone to work today, what's the matter?"

"Director Lin, many financial institutions came to ask if the company needs financing, if there is a plan to go public..."

A few minutes later, Lin Nan understood.

The news that he had taken out a loan from ICBC somehow got out, and a group of financial institutions came all at once like cats smelling fish.

Lin Nan Pictures is a high-quality company in the industry.

The box office profit alone is very impressive, and it is one of the best in the industry, not to mention copyright transactions. These financial people are very smart.

"Next time I ask you about these things, just say you don't need them, not now, and not in the future."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Lin Nan remembered something.

"By the way, contact Xu Zheng and tell him that the company is planning to start the second installment of the "囧" series..."

"Director Lin, are we going to start now?"

"After I finish shooting "Bad Genius" and return to Beijing, we can start the project."

"Okay, I'll let him know later."

If you think about it carefully, Lin Nan's own movies have not been in the Lunar New Year file yet.

This time he has some ideas, and he can arrange a movie of his own for next year's Lunar New Year.

"Guo Fan has to wait until at least April to finalize his graduation. Lu Yang, we can't let him be idle like this anymore."

"When "The Genius Gunman" is finished filming, all the work will be arranged for you!"

Lin Nan called someone from ICBC, and sure enough, there was a mole there.

"Director Lin, I'm so sorry. We will definitely not keep someone like this who cheats and leaks information about major clients. We have already fired him and will keep a record on his record..."

Lin Nan didn't feel comfortable blaming him when he started talking like this, but he still gave him a warning.

"If this happens again, we don't need to cooperate anymore."

"Don't worry, Director Lin, this kind of thing will never happen again, I promise!"

"Then we'll see."

…………

In the new picture, after more than a month, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou sat face to face again.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was not very good. Lawyers were present on both sides.

"Director Zhang Yimou's box office share of "Three Guns", the box office share of "The Hawthorn Tree", and the subsequent box office share of "Thirteen Hairpins", please Mr. Zhang, please settle it in one go according to the contract when the time comes, especially the first two movies The division of the movie has been delayed for too long..."

"In addition, Director Zhang's remuneration for working with you for so long is far lower than Director Zhang's industry value and market quotation. The new pictures are enough of an advantage..."

…

As Zhang Yimou's lawyer spoke more and more, Zhang Weiping's face became darker and darker, and his already rough-looking face became more ferocious.

Zhang Weiping did not answer the question about the division, but talked about the artists.

"I want to take back Ni Nai's artist management rights. Please tell them that they must either come back to the company obediently or I will ban them..."

…

Another negotiation ended in vain.

When Zhang Yimou and the lawyer got into the car and left, the latter took the initiative to speak:

"Director Zhang, regarding the division of accounts, you can rest assured that he can't get away with the contract written in black and white. As for the artists..."

"What? Is it difficult?"

Zhang Yimou couldn't help but ask, all artists are on his side and even refused to answer calls from Zhang Weiping and New Picture, but the contract...

"Their management contracts are also signed in black and white on the new screen. It's easy to say that your studio signed Zhou Dongyu. No matter whether it is legal or not, they can always be pulled. Her contract is about to expire. But for the others, it is impossible."

"How to say?"

"Either go back to the new screen as Zhang Weiping said; or terminate the contract. If you can terminate the contract, the breach of contract fee will be too high. I suggest filing a lawsuit to reduce the breach of contract fee, or other companies are willing to take over..."

Lawyers are also very helpless. The breach of contract fees for seeking girls and boys are as high as eight figures, which is simply unbelievable.

But when you think about the fact that these actors all have the word "scheme", it makes sense that Zhang Weiping paid a high breach of contract fee.

"If they follow me, they won't be able to develop well, and I won't be able to open a company..."

…………

"Genius Gunslinger" here.

Zhu Yawen's face was covered with bloodstains, her clothes were in tatters, and her body was covered in dirt.

"Director Lin, you are so cruel. The smell of this garbage mountain is killing me."

"It's as if I didn't go in with you."

Lin Nan said angrily.

Liu Yifei and others stood far outside the garbage disposal center, watching Lin Nan and his group coming out of the center, but did not get close.

"Sissi, I'm very sad that you are hiding like this."

Lin Nan made a joke. Although he just went in and walked around, looking at Zhu Yawen's appearance, he had a feeling that he was also very dirty.

"I'm hiding from Xiao Zhu. Come back with me and take a shower. Stay away from him. He's too dirty."

Liu Yifei waved to Lin Nan and asked him to follow her back quickly.

"What do you mean I'm dirty? Is there any justice? I'm just doing this for filming!"

Zhu Yawen instantly felt that she was being targeted and the friendship had deteriorated!

…

Back to school again.

This time it was time for Liu Yifei to introduce cheating methods to Luo Jin.

“Each student brings four specially made 2B pencils.

The answers to the 52 multiple-choice questions in the first part and the 22 multiple-choice questions in the second part are given in order of barcode thickness on the 2B pencils numbered 1 to 4. The thickest is A and the thinnest is D. Four pencils are just right. enough.

The answers to the 16 fill-in-the-blank questions in the third part are the numbers next to the bar codes of the 4 pencils.

The fourth part, the paper title, will send back the keywords, and I will find the paper online and memorize it in shorthand..."

On the monitor, Liu Yifei made arrangements in a sharp tone, and finally added:

"All of this had to be completed within a few hours due to the time difference, including printing and pasting of the 2B pencil barcode."

"Ka, perfect! Tomorrow, we will film the scene where you lobby Zhu Yawen to join the cheating team!"

Lin Nan said to Liu Yifei, Luo Jin and Shu Chang.

…

Back at the hotel, Liu Yifei was still immersed in the "cheating plan" speech she just gave.

At this time, Lin Nan's cell phone rang.

"Who is it?" Miss Liu asked

"Director Zhang Yimou! I'll take the call first, and we'll have dinner together later."

"Well, then I'll go find Changchang first."

…

"Director Zhang?"

"Lin Nan, I'm sorry to bother you again. How is the new film going?"

"It's okay. We're in the second half. We'll be able to finish filming by the end of this month, but I'm not sure where we'll spend New Year's Eve, haha..."

"Isn't that how we filmmakers are? I have something to ask you today,"

"You tell me."

"Does your company still sign actors?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

"Director Zhang, just say what you want to say. I haven't really thought about signing anyone recently."

"What do you think of Ni Yi?"

Now, Lin Nan knew what Zhang Yimou meant.

"What happened? I remember her contract was with New Picture." Lin Nan tried to find out.

"Yes, the contract is going to be terminated, but the penalty is a bit high. If you can sign her, I think she can earn back the penalty..."

Lin Nan was stuck, and didn't know what to say for a while.
