Chapter 549 Although a Bit Ugly, It Is Really Sweet

In the Hong Kong circle, all the big names that can be called are flying to Thailand in a swarm.

Many Hong Kong stars who were filming or running announcements in the mainland also temporarily put aside their work.

These abrupt behaviors are all because a master named "White Dragon King" died! ?

In the eyes of the mainland film and television circles, this is really a fantasy and incomprehensible.

Lin Nan sat in the chairman's office of Guangguang, drinking tea sold by grams and joking about these gossips.

He was invited here today, just to drink tea and then listen to what Wang Changtian wanted to say about the movie.

"You are really cruel. The box office of a movie, minus 3.3% of the special business tax and 5% of the film special fund, the remaining 91.7% is the shareable box office.

And 42% of this 91.7% belongs to the producer and distributor, but you have to take 20% from this 91.7% first. Tsk tsk tsk..."

Wang Changtian said with a look of grief, which made Lin Nan react suddenly.

He asked why Lao Wang invited him to have tea today for no apparent reason, and what movie he wanted to talk about.

It turned out that the movie they wanted to talk about was the sequel to Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand"!

"Has Xu Zheng finished the script? Did Mr. Wang get the share?"

Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

He remembered that Wang Changtian had called him specifically to ask if he had really sold the copyright of the "Lost" series to Xu Zheng.

After confirmation, Lao Wang clearly expressed his desire to participate in the investment of the sequel, and Lin Nan asked him to find Xu Zheng himself.

So now, is it done?

"Yes, the share was indeed obtained, but that guy is very smart and wants Guangguang to waive the distribution fee."

Wang Changtian said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Agreed?"

Lin Nan guessed that Xu Zheng was smart to begin with.

"I agreed. This kind of movie is at most medium-cost. With the name of the sequel to the Lost series, there is almost no need for publicity, and the distribution is even easier."

"As for the script, he hasn't finished it yet, but has an outline."

"Name?"

"Temporarily named it Lost in Hong Kong."

After saying this, Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan and felt a little uncomfortable again:

"The combined share of Guangguang and Xu Zheng's Zhenledao only accounted for 23% of the shareable box office, which is only 3 points more than you!"

"Haha, if there is a sequel after Lost in Hong Kong, I will have 10%.

And this is the sequel to Lost in Thailand, and it is a small and medium-cost movie. It is difficult to lose money. Don't complain, Mr. Wang."

After staying for two hours, Lin Nan declined Wang Changtian's invitation to have lunch and left Guangguang.

He also made an appointment with a "private teacher" to learn something.

…………

The Return of the Condor Heroes, which has been complained by the industry and the entire network for more than half a month, has new news.

"Yu Zheng's new version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, starring Chen Xiao, Chen Yanxi, Zhang Xinyu and others, officially started filming today."

"It is reported that Yu Zheng's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes has fewer filming locations, far less than Zhang Jizhong's version..."

"Chen Yanxi admitted in an interview with the media that she did have great psychological pressure, but she would try her best to overcome it and present a different version of Little Dragon Girl to the audience."

"Chen Xiao does not shy away from comparing himself with Huang Xiaoming and Louis Koo, and will do his best to surpass them..."

The entertainment industry is like this, praising you and scolding you sometimes represent your "success", after all, being black and red is also red!

Just like this The Return of the Condor Heroes, no matter how much the netizens disagree or how fiercely they scold, it will be useless, and the film producers will only be happier.

Anyway, Yu Zheng has harvested all the attention and topic that should be harvested.

Perhaps from the beginning, Yu Zheng had only one idea:

Since he was not sure or had not thought about surpassing the classics, he would be unique and subvert everyone's cognition, and make money!

In a blink of an eye, the third week of August ended.

Several domestic films have either reached the end or have stopped.

In terms of box office, "Time Traveler" is still the most eye-catching one.

"Produced by Lin Nan Films and directed by Director Guo Fan, "Time Traveler" has been released for three weeks, and the total box office has exceeded 500 million, closing at 501.4 million."

"The daily box office of "Time Traveler" has dropped to more than 8 million, and there are still 10 days before it is released."

In China, another director of the 500 million box office club was born! And he is still from Lin Nan Films, the previous one was Lu Yang.

The reaction of Beijing Film Academy was faster than that of Lin Nan Films.

Before Yue Jun sent a congratulatory message on the company's Weibo, the official website of the Film Academy had already pinned the newsletter.

"Congratulations to our outstanding graduate Guo Fan for his film "Time Traveler", which successfully broke through the 500 million box office..."

The congratulatory messages in the circle all went to Guo Fan.

To be honest, he belongs to the direct line of Lin Nan Films, and was found by Lin Nan at the graduate student interview site.

To a certain extent, Guo Fan and Lin Nan are closer than Lu Yang!

"Time Traveler" is a runaway success, but other domestic films are different.

"After two weeks of release, the total box office of "Tiny Times 2" closed at 262 million yuan, and the daily box office fell to 100,000, which is far from the first one!"

People are complaining online, this is not far away, this is nearly half of the box office, 220 million yuan!

To ​​be honest, among all the veteran big stars, Lin Nan thinks Fan Bingbing is really capable of carrying the box office.

Even if it is a literary film, a romance film, or a crime suspense film, as long as she stars in it, she will rarely lose money.

Just like this "One Night Surprise", it made 160 million in two weeks of release.

Although the daily box office dropped by 500,000 yuan, it definitely made money. After all, the cost was only 40,000 yuan.

…………

Yang Mi felt as if the house was leaking and it rained all night.

The nomination of "Search" in the Golden Rooster made her worried, and "Tiny Times 2" also went downhill.

Think about it when "Tiny Times 1" was first released, the daily box office once reached more than 70 million.

She originally thought that it would surpass the box office of "Love in Seattle" and that she would successfully become a heroine with a box office of 600 million.

But now it seems that the joy is really in vain.

When Yang Mi saw the news about the 500 million box office of "Space Traveler", she felt even more complicated.

Because Guo Fan said at the beginning that he could directly give her a supporting actress role and audition for the heroine.

If she goes by herself, the heroine should be fine. After all, we are all in the same company, and Yue Jun also takes good care of himself and will help.

"well……"

…………

After several days of study, Lin Nan successfully mastered a craft and successfully graduated.

As soon as he returned to the company, his assistant came to the office.

"Director Lin, there are several invitations sent specifically to you."

"Who sent them all? Bring them over and let me take a look."

As Lin Nan spoke, he had already received a stack of invitations from his assistant.

The next moment, his eyes widened, and then he smiled speechlessly.

Good guys, Internet companies have been sending out invitations these past two days? It shouldn’t be just Lin Nan Films, right?

"Alibaba: Film and Television Industry Report Conference in the Internet Era":

"Penguin: Film and Television Culture Industry Investment Exchange Conference";

"Baidu: Redefining..."

"Sohu:..."

…

Lin Nan quickly scanned these invitations, and only one word came to his mind: watching with eagerness.

This hasn’t even come in yet, and everyone’s tone is so loud.

What kind of invitation is this? What are you guys doing here?

Are you trying to show off your power, or are you showing off your muscles and preparing to recruit your younger brother?

Lin Nan pouted, he didn't want to go, and he didn't have time.

"Where is Director Jiang?"

"The budget for "Red Sorghum" is over budget, and Director Jiang is taking care of it."

"Then inform Director Yue and let him handle it. I won't come to the company for the remaining week."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, the assistant was obviously stunned.

"Okay, Director Lin. I'll tell Director Yue soon."

"Well, let's go out."

Lin Nan was still complaining about these Internet companies in his heart. If it were another time, he might not be in the mood to listen to their bragging.

But these days at the end of the month? Sorry, no time.

Liu Yifei is about to join the team, so Lin Nan needs to spend more time with her.

…

The next day, Lin Nan got up very early and started working.

He even pretended that he had gone to the company early.

At around 11 o'clock, Liu Yifei called Lin Nan.

"Where are you?"

"I just left the company and am busy outside at the moment."

"Have you forgotten what day today is?"

There was a somewhat dissatisfied tone in Liu Yifei's voice, as if she was saying: You'd better answer me, otherwise I'll be angry!

"Today seems to be someone's birthday, right?"

"Hehe, you're pretty good at pretending!"

On the other end of the phone, Miss Liu's voice instantly became crisp and sweet.

"Since early in the morning, those people in the circle have been sending you birthday wishes. They all remember it. Can I, my boyfriend, remember it?"

"Well, when will you come back? Is it still afternoon?"

"What's wrong?"

"Mom is going to order a cake. Come back early this afternoon."

Lin Nan subconsciously looked at the semi-finished product in front of him: "Auntie, there is no need to order it. I have already made arrangements and will take it back in the afternoon."

'ah? okay. ’

Lin Nan didn't put down the phone until Miss Liu hung up.

"I've been studying for a week, you have to give me some credit!"

Lin Nan muttered softly, and then started moving his hands again. This was really not an easy task.

Everything has to be done by yourself, which is not only a lot of steps, but also cumbersome. Lin Nan is not very skilled at doing this, so he must be slow.

…

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan finally finished all the petals, patterns, and text on the cake.

"There's a huge difference between painting on a cake and splitting shots."

Lin Nan looked at his work and nodded hesitantly:

"Hmm...should, maybe, maybe, is it still acceptable?"

He picked up his cell phone and called Liu Yifei.

"Are you back? I didn't see you."

"Come to my side and give you a surprise."

"Haha, there's still a surprise? Wait, I'll be right over..."

Lin Nan could hear Liu Yifei's sweet laughter through the phone. She didn't hang up the phone, and there were cats and dogs barking beside her.

…

Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Yifei's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.

The next moment, a bright smile burst out on her face, "You, really you did it?"

"Who else could it be but me? It's been a long day. It started in the morning and just ended."

Lin Nan said with a chuckle, he was really a little tired and his face was still stained with cream.

"When did you know how to do this? How come I didn't know."

Miss Liu threw herself into Lin Nan's arms, tilted her head and smiled, her voice became a little sweet.

"I've been going out early and coming back late these days, so I found a teacher to learn it. How is it?"

Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at the six-layer cake carefully for the first time.

Each layer was surrounded by blooming red roses, and the top was still decorated with roses, surrounded by a portrait of a person, should it be herself?

"Is this me?"

"Yeah, yes, how is it?"

"Your painting is really ugly, don't draw it next time..."

"Oh, just make do with it. How could I know that this is so different from drawing a storyboard? It's my first time."

Twenty minutes later, the two of them carried the six-layer cake and walked towards the villa next door.

Miss Liu was smiling silly all the way, so silly and cute.

A group of beautiful cats and dogs surrounded the two of them, and the picture was beautiful...

…………

At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Yifei's Weibo was updated, with two photos and a paragraph of text.

A photo with Lin Nan was taken by Liu Xiaoli, and Liu's mother didn't want to be in the photo.

The other photo is of Liu Yifei pretending to hug a cake, but the expression on her face is funny.

The accompanying text is very concise: "This is a big cake made by Director Lin himself! Although it is a little ugly, it is really sweet, and it is sweet in my heart, hehe..."

In less than a minute, the comments below were full of messages.

"Happy birthday, Xixi, remember to save a piece of cake for me."

"Happy birthday, Sister Yifei."

"Director Lin has grown up? Can he do this? As a brother, I don't believe it!"

"I envy you! Yifei, tomorrow, lend your Director Lin to me..."

"Xun brother, what kind of lewd words are you saying? Delete it quickly and let me post it!"

"Director Lin must have taken a long time to make such a big cake?"
