Chapter 507 China Film Group Has Both Money and People

Ying Huang's announcement directly made Donnie Yen a joke in the industry, looking like a clown.

It is true that it is relatively common in the industry to take advantage of the situation to ask for a salary increase, but this must be done within a certain limit.

But three years ago, he dared to forcefully ask for 30 million. This was really a bad idea.

After all, the mainland box office of "Ip Man 2" was only 260 million.

The salary of 30 million three years ago was far beyond the market price.

Moreover, he still used a strike as a blackmail method and demanded a price of 30 million.

How arrogant and arrogant do you have to be to dare to do this?

Blackmail the film crew?

No matter how popular an actor is, he is not irreplaceable.

No matter how popular you are, you are still playing with fire.

Perhaps, there was once an actor who held the position of celebrity and forced the film crew to succeed.

But now it seems that Zhen Zidan is one of the unlucky ones.

What he met was Lin Nan, but Lin Nan didn't accept this trick at all. She directly shelved the project, cooled it down for three years, and then restarted it and changed roles!

The industry has already acquiesced that the replacement of Donnie Yen was mainly due to Lin Nan's intention, because the main producer of "Ip Man" is Lin Nan Pictures.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but think of what Hong Jinbao said sarcastically to someone during the "Zhao Zhen Controversy":

"Some people are just stupid and do stupid things every day."

The Internet is very lively, everyone is discussing the announcement about Ying Huang's slap in the face, and speculating on how Donnie Yen will respond.

The circle was much quieter, and almost no one dared to speak randomly or interfere with this matter.

Ying Huang's statement made the Hong Kong media's voices quieter.

Mainland media are watching the excitement. Just like during the "Zhao Zhen Controversy", most of them are on the opposite side of Zhen Zidan.

But it is undeniable that whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, there are always mountains and competing interests.

There must be people who spoke up for Zhen Zidan. They were all trying to smooth things over with Xi Ni and want to get rid of the matter as soon as possible.

Lin Nan saw Zhen Zi's unilateral Weibo post reproduced by the media and got scared?

"The matter of the 30 million yuan salary was purely a misunderstanding and a joke in the communication between the agent and Ying Huang at the time.

It was our failure to communicate well that caused the problem. Afterwards, I explained to the film crew many times and apologized..."

Lin Nan was so angry that he laughed when he saw this post. Is this a trick?

There were many sensible people in the circle, but not many idiots, and they could all see that Donnie Yen was giving in and looking for a way out.

However, a private Weibo post by Huo Wenxi still slapped the other party hard in the face, causing a large number of netizens to applaud and applaud.

"The arrogance has turned into a joke? A year and a half or two years later, after being riddled with bad movies, and the value of the film has plummeted, are you just starting to apologize? Your acting is good, who are you trying to fool?"

In the Hong Kong area, someone has come forward to be a peacemaker and is looking for Yang Shoucheng.

Even Lin Nan received a few calls, asking him not to pay attention to such a trivial matter and to drop the price.

This made Lin Nan a little depressed. He had never cared about such a trivial matter and had always treated it as a joke.

Now, Donnie Yen is indeed a joke. He found his steps and climbed down them. But instead of walking down, he just rolled down.

…………

"Over at Ying Huang, the casting of "Ip Man 3" is quite high-profile."

"Yang Shoucheng probably did it intentionally, just to stimulate some people, haha..."

Lin Nan glanced at the news online and saw that the second male lead had been announced, and it was Zhang Jin.

There is a heated discussion in the media and on the Internet. In a movie, the first and second male leads are both Wuying-level action actors. This is so rare, it is simply a luxury.

Therefore, "Ip Man 3" has become a highly anticipated movie.

A large number of viewers and fans hope that the fight scenes in the film will be more eye-catching and more punchy.

"Director Jiang seems to have said hello?" Yue Jun teased.

"It doesn't matter, he is a rare action actor and martial arts instructor in the industry. Putting aside this status, I think he is better than Donnie Yen in terms of acting skills."

Lin Nan told the truth and took the script, "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" handed over by Yue Jun.

"This is the final version after refinement."

Lin Nan roughly flipped through the script and nodded:

"Let's just take it and send it for review. I didn't read it carefully. Who knows if I might change the lyrics on the spur of the moment during filming."

"Then I'll go in the afternoon."

"Well, go find someone you don't know, otherwise you'll be on the news in less than an hour."

Lin Nan was not joking. If Yue Jun went to submit the script for review in person, in the evening, there would definitely be news on the Internet: "Director Lin Nan's new script is suspected of being submitted for review."

When the time comes, there will definitely be a group of people coming to bother Lin Nan.

He plans to decide on the investors after the review. This is the first time he is making a main theme movie, so it is better to be more stable.

Yue Jun took over the script and talked about another thing:

"Director Ning's "The Flowers of the Heart", I think you can really put a person in it..."

…………

After 21 days of release, Zhao Yanzi's "Youth" has really climbed the 600 million threshold, with a revenue of 610 million.

As previously touted by the media, she surpassed Xue Xiaolu and became the first female director in the Chinese film industry.

The icing on the cake is always a common feature in the film and television and entertainment circles.

Female directors are already rare, which is also a major bonus for Zhao Yanzi.

For a time, she seemed to have completely stepped into and firmly established herself in the top director class, unparalleled in the limelight.

At this moment, Lu Yang was a little worried.

After 20 days, the total box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" has reached 480 million yuan, just one step away from the final victory. The more you watch, the more uncomfortable it is, but there is no point in being anxious.

For Han Sanping's sake, Lin Nan went to the premiere of "Chinese Partners".

Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Tong Dawei should be considered the three top male stars in the mainland.

Although they filmed a movie together, you can still see at a glance that they are estranged from each other and hardly communicate.

"Director Lin, toast to you."

"You toasted me for no reason, I tend to think too much, haha..."

Lin Nan looked at Huang Xiaoming who was holding a glass of red wine in front of him and joked.

"I heard that Director Lin is going to start a new film."

Huang Xiaoming was quite direct and smiled.

"I can't guarantee that there is a role suitable for you."

"Just try your luck. Just consider it when casting."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, not refusing, "Of course there is no problem, of course I will consider it."

Before they chatted for a few words, Wang Changtian came over, and the leader naturally found an excuse to leave.

"I saw you and Deng Chao chatting over there for a long time, what were you talking about?"

"Of course it was business. By the way, how are you preparing for your movie this time?"

Lin Nan laughed, he knew that Wang Changtian must have a purpose when he came here.

Before Lin Nan could complain, Wang Changtian continued:

"Didn't you ask me what Deng Chao and I talked about?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"He is the candidate for the 'new director' signed by the group..."

Lin Nan was not surprised by this answer.

After all, Wang Changtian has always been very good to Deng Chao, and he has given him the leading actor of the movie several times.

"We just decided on a movie yesterday. Guangguang will invest and he will be the director. Are you interested in joining us? The cost won't be too high.

I can't always take your boat. We have to reciprocate, right? But at present, Guangguang can't do big projects."

After hearing what Wang Changtian said, Lin Nan didn't think much about it. Old Wang is indeed a long-term partner.

At present, several long-term partners, including China Film, Guangguang, and Wanda, have invited Lin Nan to invest.

It's just that Han Sanping may be a little bit evil. Although the projects that invite Lin Nan every time are big productions, they are all poisonous.

"Okay, call me when it's decided. In addition, this time, I will film together with several companies."

Lin Nan smiled and gave Wang Changtian the answer he wanted, the second half of the sentence.

"Okay, haha, I'll wait for your call."

Wang Changtian turned around and waved to Deng Chao, who walked over with a smile.

"Director Lin, I hope to learn a lot from you on the road of directing. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

After speaking, Deng Chao drank the glass of red wine in his hand.

Lin Nan looked at Wang Changtian. Wow, he was thinking about getting me to join before he came here? !

Han Sanping was quite busy at the premiere, and Lin Nan didn't have a chance to talk to him.

"Forget it, I'll go to China Film Academy alone."

…………

The premiere of "Chinese Partners" is over.

Lin Nan has to think about what Yue Jun said and squeeze in people.

After waiting in the company for nearly an hour, Zhao Liying, who has a small face, came. She also put on light makeup and looked very pretty.

Since the "Four Famous Detectives" series was completely finished in February, she has been half working and half taking a vacation, which is very comfortable.

Today, she suddenly received a call from Yue Jun, saying that Director Lin wanted her and asked her to come to the company.

She didn't ask anything and rushed over immediately.

"Director Lin, you're looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm going to find a crew for you."

"Ah?"

"Haha, I'm not asking you to join the crew right away. The filming will probably start later in the second half of the year. Let's go, follow me to Bad Monkey. They're auditioning."

Lin Nan didn't call Ning Hao. He was going to take people there directly.

Zhao Liying was auditioning, so he stood by and took a look at the actors.

The leading actress of "Heart Flower Road" has been announced. It's a powerful big star, Yuan Quan.

I think it should be no problem to let Zhao Liying play a supporting role for Yuan Quan.

At present, Zhao Liying has only one movie "The Four 1" released in the movie. She is not a big star, just a second-tier star.

"Let's go."

"Oh."

Following Lin Nan, the two of them left the company building and got in the car. The driver went straight to Bad Monkey.

…………

At this time, there were still many stars auditioning for Bad Monkey.

According to the already announced cast, the two male protagonists are Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, and the leading actress is Yuan Quan.

These are all big names in the circle. Playing supporting roles for these people does not make you lose face at all, and you can also make connections.

Wang Jinghua personally led Zhou Dongyu, and Zeng Jia was next to Yang Mi;

At a glance, there are many first-line young actresses in the circle, such as Yang Ying, Ni Yi, Liu Shishi...

For these people, playing the second female role in a big director's movie is also an opportunity that should not be missed.

When Liu Shishi, Yang Ying and others came out with unnatural smiles one after another, the people outside were very happy.

When Zhou Dongyu and a few others appeared with a joyful look, everyone was a little uneasy again. This is pending...

Not long after, when Lin Nan led Zhao Liying and walked over from a distance, the expressions of all the remaining actresses were a little wrong in an instant.

What is this for?

A very bad idea suddenly popped up in the minds of a group of actresses.

As for the male actors, it doesn't matter.

"Director Lin."

"Director Lin."

...

Lin Nan nodded one by one as he heard greetings.

Until he saw Yang Mi and Zeng Jia, the two of them felt a little unnatural, but only for a moment.

"Didn't you accept the TV series? I heard that it will start filming in July. Why are you still here?"

"I thought maybe the schedule wouldn't conflict."

Yang Mi said with a stiff face, as if she had made a mistake and was caught again, her smile was a little stiff.

Lin Nan didn't say anything else, and led Zhao Liying directly inside.

Looking at the backs of the two, many people outside were a little nervous, especially Yang Mi, who was mixed with emotions.

"Why are you here?"

Xing Aina asked curiously, and glanced at Zhao Liying again, as if she understood something.

"Let her try the second female role, the role of the killer."

When he said this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Liying on the side was a little confused, killer?

"Okay, if it's not too bad, I can decide on her."

Xing Aina looked at Zhao Liying and nodded.

"Thank you, Sister Xing." Zhao Liying thanked him quickly.

A role that doesn't require much acting skills is still very easy.

…………

When Lin Nan returned home, he really felt a little tired.

He just went to fill in a person, but Ning Hao drafted him on the spot.

"There is still half a month left for the training of "Wolf Warrior". Will you go with me to the opening ceremony?"

Liu Yifei and Xie Nan and the other girls strolled all day today. There are still photos of them eating and drinking on the Internet.

"Of course, no problem. I'm going to support the movie invested by Producer Liu."

Lin Nan rested his head on Liu Yifei's thigh and closed his eyes for a nap.

It felt tight and elastic, very comfortable, but the ends of the hair brushed against his face, which was a little itchy.

"Huh? Why don't you sleep?"

Looking at Lin Nan who sat up, Miss Liu asked in confusion. She was about to take a photo of Lin Nan and send it out...

"I remembered something I forgot to do."

As she spoke, Lin Nan picked up her phone and called Han Sanping.

"A little nervous." He muttered quietly.

In less than half a minute, the call was connected.

"It's rare. I called you at this time before, and you always said that we can't talk about business after get off work.

Now I can say the same thing. Hurry up and talk about things. I'm busy too."

Han Sanping's gloating laughter came from the other end of the phone, which finally made him turn the tables.

"Good news." Lin Nan adjusted his tone.

"What good news?"

"About my new movie, Mr. Han will be in the group tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, come directly."

Hearing that it was really good news, Han Sanping's tone changed instantly.

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow, and Mr. Han must support me this time." Lin Nan began to dig a hole.

"Nonsense, when have I not supported you? At the beginning, there was no condition to make "The Martian" in China, and everyone was unanimously pessimistic about it. It was me who set the tone and took you to find the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the China National Aerospace Administration..."

"I feel relieved when you said that. Don't say a word of "no" tomorrow."

"Hehe, just ask for any support you need. China Film has money and people. If I say "no", you can go to Ren Zhonglun..."

This solemn tone is the answer Lin Nan wanted.

"Then see you tomorrow."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan was in a good mood.

"Are there still several companies working together on this movie?" Liu Yifei asked softly.

"Yes. We are a couple, and you will be the producer?"

Looking at Liu Yifei's pretty face, Lin Nan couldn't help pinching it.

"Well, okay, I'll be the producer."

Miss Liu nodded with a smile.
