Chapter 489 Agreement, What Agreement?

Speaking of which, it's really a joke.

All film and television companies and star studios in the industry are basically releasing products such as:

Festive Weibo posts such as "Have a great start to the new year", "Go smoothly at work in the new year", "The movie is a big hit at the box office", "The TV series ratings hit a new high".

After all, there are still a few days until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Lunar New Year is not over yet.

But Tangren was very conspicuous. On the first day of construction, he directly sent a letter to the industry: "Solemn Statement."

The content is directed at its artist Lin Gengxin. The termination lawsuit with the company has not yet been pronounced, and the management contract is still valid.

His behavior of privately engaging in performing arts activities is a serious breach of contract.

Any third party that circumvents the performance contract signed by Tang Ren and Lin Gengxin will infringe Tang Ren's legitimate rights and interests and shall not be counted.

A third party that has infringed upon Tangren's legitimate rights and interests hopes to contact the company to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise Tangren will use legal means to protect the company's damaged interests.

…

Other companies started work after the holiday, and they were all happy.

As for Cai Yinong, he first sent a "warning letter" to the industry, which is strange if it is not irritating.

The key is that the signature on the "Solemn Statement" sent by Tangren is not the previous Tangren Film and Television, but Tangren Film!

Just one word difference, there is a lot to say here.

This company that has been producing TV series for many years has finally made up its mind to enter the film production industry?

Lin Gengxin was not convinced at all and directly responded to Weibo with a sarcastic message:

"You're posting this on New Year's Day? In terms of magnanimity, you've lost so badly. You guys who broke the contract first, are you so anxious that you jump over the wall?

That's right, after all, it is a small company, and signing artists relies on coaxing and deception, so how can it be so grand? "

After posting this on Weibo, it immediately received support from a large number of netizens.

"Before signing the contract, I said you were a treasure, but after signing the contract, I treated you like grass and abandoned you like a shoe!"

"If you still want to continue acting, just fight the lawsuit firmly and don't settle..."

"You can't believe what the Tang people say. They have always manipulated public opinion, smeared and suppressed!"

"Think about Yang Mi and Tang Yan, artists who are not from the Tang Dynasty. They were all smeared and targeted like that."

"You are the first artist of your own to rise up and slap the Tang people in the face. Be careful of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys..."

…

The Tang Dynasty and Lin Gengxin are engaged in a lawsuit here;

Over there, Tang Dynasty's "fans" and Lin Gengxin's supporters were also quarreling with each other online.

They have just started the new year and have provided the media and entertainment industry with a lively show. They are really good people.

"Who wouldn't have had some luck? Otherwise, a third-tier artist, he wouldn't have been so confident in filing a lawsuit and fighting to the end."

In the Tiangong color, Lin Nan and Guo Fan were chatting together. He heard that Lin Gengxin had one or two pretty good friends.

After the filming of "Space Traveler" was completed, the post-production work was not started immediately. It only officially started in the past two days. Guo Fan happened to be with Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, the VCR editing is done, can you send it to me now?"

"Well, send it."

This year's Berlin Film Festival, apart from "The Grandmaster" being the opening film, has nothing to do with Chinese films.

Berlin sent invitations to many filmmakers. After thinking about it, Lin Nan chose the VCR method to send opening congratulations.

"Director Lin, Director Lu Yang is here."

The administration at Lin Nan Pictures came over with a tiangong color.

"Take it to my office. I'll go over after watching this clip."

As Lin Nan spoke, he looked at Guo Fan again, "You should stop what you are doing and go over first."

"What's going on?"

"It's a good thing, you'll find out soon."

Lin Nan smiled and made a riddle.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yang and Guo Fan were drinking tea in the office.

"I just told me to come to the company and nothing happened. I'm still preparing for the movie promotion later."

Lu Yang was full of questions.

"Director Lin said it was a good thing. Look, isn't this coming?"

I saw Lin Nan walking in with an assistant behind him.

"Director Lin, what's going on? Let's hurry up. I have to meet with the people from Guangguang later to discuss the publicity plan."

"What's the rush? Let's take a look at the new contract for you first."

Lin Nan signaled to his assistant, who opened the folder in his hand and handed the new contract to Lu Yang and Guo Ban.

"It's no different... Huh? I'll go, Director Lin is so awesome!"

Lu Yang flipped through the page very quickly and already saw the modified places.

“In the past, your director’s salary plus 3% of the producer’s income has been changed to 5% of the producer’s income.

A movie, excluding the publicity and distribution costs, is almost the divisible box office of the director's salary plus two points. "

Lin Nan said to himself, while the two people opposite him stared at the contract with burning eyes.

This means that for a movie with a box office of 100 million, Guo Fan and Lu Yang will get 2 million more.

And they are the same as before, they just need to be good directors.

You don’t need to worry about anything else, and you don’t need to pay anything extra. It’s so comfortable!

"Where's the pen? Give me the pen quickly. "One Man's Martial Arts" will be based on the new contract. Haha..."

Lu Yang took the lead in getting weird and livening up the atmosphere.

Half an hour later, the new contract was signed, and both Guo Fan and Lu Yang looked happy.

The box office split is the greatest encouragement and motivation for a commercial film director.

…………

In the film market, with the resumption of work during the Spring Festival, the market has shown signs of weakness.

""Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released for 14 days, earning 940 million. The box office performance is tied with "囧", and second only to the 963 million of "The Genius" in the same period."

"'Love in Seattle' has been in theaters for 10 days, with a box office revenue of 330 million, ranking second in the Lunar New Year festival, and has great stamina."

"The 101st Proposal, starring Huang Bo and Lin Chiling, has a box office of over 100 million, but it has no success."

"Zhang Ziyi's love movie "Perfect 2" has a box office of 72 million. It has no film schedule and is about to be released. It is expected that the final box office will not exceed 75 million."

""The Village Wanzhi Gets Better", produced by Bayi Film Studio and China Film, starring 32 actors and stars including Jing Tian, ​​has exceeded 30 million at the box office, with a revenue of 31.22 million. It is scheduled to be released in advance."

…

These news are not enough to attract the attention of the film and television industry and the public, because everyone is watching the joke of "Together".

This Lunar New Year, and even the biggest joke in the film industry in ten years!

"Together," a romantic film starring kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, newly minted actress Yang Ying, Taiwanese actress Chen Yanxi and others, grossed 823,000 at the box office and became the biggest cannon fodder in the Lunar New Year festival, with bad reviews such as Chao, has been forced to draw!”

Some media also joined in the fun and added prefixes to Donnie Yen and Yang Ying, which was a slap in the face.

Such box office results will definitely become a stain on their careers that can never be erased for Donnie Yen and Yang Ying, the two actors with the "biggest status" in the movie!

"Donnie Yen has regained the title of box office poison since "Ip Man"."

"They are also four young beauties, and they all have the same surname of Yang. Look at Yang Mi in "Love in Seattle", she is a very good gold digger."

"How much did it cost to buy Yang Ying, the fourth little beauty?"

"Master, please change your girlfriend. Yang Ying will be your biggest failure in your life..."

…

Faced with the sharp comments and ridicules from netizens, the person involved could only remain silent and try to keep a low profile and avoid the limelight.

In the film market, imported films such as "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" have also begun to be released one after another.

The only domestic films left are "Journey to the West" and "Seattle", which can still withstand the pressure and continue to increase their box office.

Just when everyone started to pay attention to imported films, the film bureau issued the latest notice.

"The release date of the movie "Love in Seattle" will be postponed to the end of March, and the release time will be extended by 14 days."

"The release date of the film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" co-produced by the Mainland and Hong Kong Island remains unchanged."

This news surprised the entire production industry.

Did both movies apply for extension keys? As a result, one passed and the other was killed!

Although the current daily box office of the two movies is similar, the rejection of the extension application for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still makes many people feel more regretful.

Because on the box office list, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" has the potential to compete for first place, with strong momentum!

…

"The postponement of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was rejected, and the postponement of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was rejected... and they all belong to Hua Yi? This, tsk tsk tsk..."

There were also many people in the circle who thought of other reasons and felt a little gloating for a while.

Huayi.

"What does he want to do? Make us a stumbling block and put our little shoes on?"

Wang Zhongjun's eyes were bloodshot, and he knew clearly that it was Han Sanping who did it.

This is Han Sanping's revenge on Huayi for backstabbing the publisher and "1942" being the first to bow to theaters.

"But what can we do? He can influence the bureau, but what can we do? Go and complain? Who can we complain to? This is too childish."

Wang Zhonglei also frowned, unable to do anything.

If it were any other company in the industry, Huayi would be able to find trouble, but there is nothing that China Film can do!

There are still many headaches to worry about now. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has done well at the box office, but Huayi's stock price has not risen, but Bigao Group's stock price has been rising steadily.

Suddenly, Wang Zhonglei thought of another thing.

"Brother, there is something I need to remind you."

"What's going on?" Wang Zhongjun asked casually, closing his eyes and calming down.

"It's the incentive agreement we negotiated with Zhou Xingchi on New Year's Eve. Once the box office exceeds 500 million, he can get another 80 million box office share..."

"Yes, that's right. That's why he worked so hard to promote, and even held a media symposium with Ma Yun. What do you mean by this?"

Wang Zhongjun opened his eyes, looked at Wang Zhonglei and asked.

I saw the latter showing a malicious smile.

"The original reply I gave was that during the New Year's Eve, the company was on holiday, and there was no way to re-sign the paper contract. We would have to do it after the holiday. There was no objection there, they just said they trust us..."

"Then what?" Wang Zhongjun opened his eyes wide, and his facial muscles were trembling slightly.

"As of today, I haven't signed it yet, and there's no urging from the other side. In addition, we only reached an account-sharing incentive agreement in the form of an email, but there was no signature or official seal..."

After saying these words, Wang Zhonglei's face completely showed a smile, like a facial makeup smile, but without laughter, it looked a bit gloomy.

"Agreement, what kind of incentive agreement? Didn't we sign it? Where did the 80 million come from! Hahaha..."

Wang Zhongjun laughed and said, setting the tone for this matter.

"But, what if there are further questions over there?"

"Ask again? No, he won't ask again, so let's do it. Later, let Xiaogang announce the new film to stimulate the stock price..."

"Okay, I got it."

After that, the two brothers looked at each other and laughed loudly the next moment.

It seems that the matter of not getting the extension key has passed. Isn't this loss recovered? And even more money!

…………

Many people are teasing Lin Nan, getting another half-month extension key, this will increase the box office by tens of millions?

"Director Lin, thank you very much."

Xue Xiaolu also joked with Lin Nan.

"You'd better call me by my name. Besides, this is also a movie I invested in.

I just hope that the extra half-month release period can make a qualitative change in the box office, but don't get stuck at the threshold, that would be uncomfortable, haha..."

"I hope it won't be like that." Xue Xiaolu agreed with a smile.

…………

Yang Mi looked at the news in the media and laughed from ear to ear. The box office has exceeded 300 million, and it's only been half a month.

Even if the main box office of a movie is closed in the first half of the month to the first three weeks.

But "Seattle" will be released in a month, and the final total box office will definitely be very good, and 600 million may be possible.

"It's already 350 million, do you want to do it now?"

Zeng Jia asked, wanting to announce that the contract with Shanhai Media will not be renewed.

Because Yang Mi is so popular now.

She is the leader of the four little flowers, crushing another four little flowers Yang Ying in the same period, and the box office of the movie is much better than "Sad Fairy Tale" filmed in the same time period before, and of course, it is also better than Liu Shishi.

"No, wait for 500 million."

Yang Mi said firmly.

These two days, her fans have been blasting Liu Shishi. This time, the grudge has been formed since the two movies started shooting at the same time last year!

The people on the opposite side couldn't find a decent retort.

In a fit of rage, they could only talk about all kinds of gossip and black material, and they were all old things.

Yang Mi, very happy.

"500 million?"

"Yes, 500 million. If possible, I hope to get 600 million."

Yang Mi's eyes were full of fighting spirit and yearning.

Zeng Jia also nodded: "Okay, the higher the box office, the better the effect."

"I just don't know if there will be a second part of "Love in Seattle"? But I think the story is over, so there should be no more."

"I guess it is." Yang Mi nodded with a smile.

…………

Lin Nan returned to the villa in the afternoon and didn't see Miss Liu.

This is rare. I haven't heard that there are any announcements or activities today?

"Did she go crazy with Shu Chang? Singing, shopping, karting, watching movies, or partying?"

Lin Nan guessed and simply made a phone call. He missed her when he couldn't see anyone.

In less than ten seconds, the call was connected, but the person who answered the phone was unexpected to Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, are you so nervous about Yifei? Want to ask where she went? Hehehe..."

"Xie Nan, why is it you? Where is Xixi?" Lin Nan was even more puzzled, a little puzzled?

"Across from me, wearing gloves, peeling shrimps."

"Xie Nan said she would treat me to afternoon tea, but it turned into a snack. Should I bring it back to you?"

Liu Yifei's sweet voice came from the phone.

"Forget it, I just wanted to know where you are. Now that I know, I feel relieved."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Director Lin is so straightforward." Liu Yan's laughter came from the side again.

There was another round of noisy laughter on the phone, and even Lin Nan was amused.

"Is Director Lin coming over? It's not far away."

"I won't go over."

"I'll bring it back to you when I get back." Liu Yifei's crisp voice came, making the decision.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You guys take your time to eat, and I won't disturb you."

"Okay, goodbye Director Lin."

The noisy voice came again.

…………

Lin Nan hung up the phone and shook his head with a smile.

"Xie Nan treats? It's rare. Is it because they finally officially announced their relationship?"

Lin Nan didn't think much about it. Liu Yifei didn't have many friends and was a bit of a homebody. There are only a few people she can chat with, which is not easy.

Lin Nan certainly hopes that Miss Liu can go out for a walk more often when she has nothing to do, so that he himself will not join in the fun among women.
