Chapter 586 Nomination Time Is Coming
No one in the film and television industry expected this.
On the morning of the 30th, Xiaoma Pentium, which had just announced its failure to go public and its bet, had another big mess less than three days later.
In the early morning of the 2nd, Xiaoma's chairman suffered a heart attack and died after failed rescue.
A top film and television company in the industry has suffered such bad luck one after another.
In the future, let alone being able to withstand the pressure of huge debts and continue to seek IPOs.
Because what Xiaoma will face next may be a situation where the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, or even bankruptcy and liquidation.
Losing the foreign debt in the bet, and if other investment institutions want to withdraw when the situation is not good...
These add up to a funding hole of more than 1 billion, which will completely crush and even kill this "horse".
Even if these investors do not put pressure on Xiaoma, do not urge debts, do not withdraw, and let it continue to operate.
But it is unknown how long it will take to recover its vitality and get back on track. What's more, Xiaoma Pentium has lost its backbone and is already a mess.
Lin Nan hurriedly put on his clothes, leaned against Liu Yifei's rosy face and whispered to her that he had to go out for something, and then left amid her nasal humming.
Wang Zhonglei, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Qin Hong, Zhang Zhao...
Companies in the circle, whether they were enemies or friends in the past, are now posting Weibo to express their condolences.
Many filmmakers, producers, and actors who have been promoted by Xiao Ma or have worked with him are also doing the same thing.
When I arrived at the company, Yue Jun had already posted a Weibo on behalf of Lin Nan Pictures.
"The world is so fickle. According to gossip, several of Xiaoma's projects, including the upcoming film and television projects, have been targeted."
Hearing Yue Jun's statement, even Lin Nan took a breath, "It's really cruel!"
"But this is inevitable. The most important point is that everyone is not optimistic about Xiaoma's future because it is a family business.
And Zhong Lifang, who holds the power, is an outsider. Li Ming has always firmly supported and trusted her, but now she is gone..."
Yue Jun's words make a lot of sense. Fortunately, after "The Golden Robbery", Lin Nan Pictures has no connection with that place anymore.
"Whether there is internal fighting or not, it has nothing to do with us. Have they decided on the annual meeting?"
Lin Nan shook his head and began to care about his company's affairs.
Speaking of this, Yue Jun laughed.
"Hahaha, the requirements of these people, in their words, are always so simple and plain."
"Or a girl group?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
Yue Jun nodded and paused:
"Our company's annual meeting is already famous in the industry and on the Internet. Didn't they say that family members can be brought this year? So they want another boy band."
"Boy band? Their family members and girlfriends suggested it, right?" Lin Nan was so angry that she laughed.
"I guess so, and they specifically asked for EXO." Yue Jun spread his hands.
"You are really stupid, I rejected it. Seeing those makeups, I am afraid I will get goose bumps."
Lin Nan remembered the time when Huayi set up a stage and invited big names in the industry to watch the performances of South Korean girl and boy bands.
To be honest, he couldn't accept the makeups of those boy bands in South Korea, which were very eye-catching.
If a rough guy like Wu Yi was dragged over, he would probably feel uncomfortable and want to hit someone.
"The boy band was rejected, but the girl band stayed?" Yue Jun asked again to confirm.
"Yes." Lin Nan nodded.
"Okay, I'll notify them this afternoon and have someone contact South Korea."
…………
In a blink of an eye, the New Year's Day holiday is over.
At this time, "Personal Tailor" has been released for 16 days.
This movie took advantage of the peak of the New Year's Day holiday to break through 600 million in box office, closing at 645 million.
The 700 million mark is just around the corner, and the daily box office is still 6 or 7 million. People in the industry can see that the probability of crossing the 700 million threshold is not small!
The worst of this Lunar New Year and New Year's Day may be the Sino-British co-production "Prehistoric Monsters" invested by China Film with 12 million US dollars.
It only got more than 9 million in box office in the three days of New Year's Day. How can it play?
Even if the king of heaven came, it couldn't change its blood loss.
The promotion of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" started again.
A new clip appeared in the media and the Internet, which was a small clip of Zhang Hanyu's cut in the Tiger Hall.
"A cloud in the northwest sky, a crow fell into a flock of phoenixes;
The room is full of heroes, who is the king and who is the minister."
...
The publicity effect is very good, the number of views, likes and comments is skyrocketing every minute.
The main creators came out of the movie channel, those who had something to do left first, and those who didn't had a simple meal together.
In fact, there were only four people, Lin Nan, Han Sanping, Han Jianu and Guo Fan. Liu Yifei had to shoot a fashion magazine, so she was absent.
Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Luo Jin and others also had notices.
I haven't seen Han Sanping for a few days, and he talked a lot today.
"I am still a consultant in the bureau and China Film. Yesterday, La Peikang told me that he wanted to bid to buy Xiao Ma's investment share in "The Crossing". What do you think?"
At the dinner table, Han Sanping asked a sharp question, and Han Jianu and Guo Fan looked over.
Lin Nan almost got his trachea choked by food. Is the position of chairman of China Film poisonous?
"Boss Han, do you want to hear me tell the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense, it must be the truth."
Lin Nan drank some juice and smoothed it out.
"Why don't you ask Mr. La to see if Huayi and LeTV are willing to take over and trade the shares held by China Film to them. We don't want to make money, just break even."
Lin Nan said it sincerely, Han Jianu and Guo Fan were a little stunned, but Han Sanping frowned and said nothing.
"You really don't think highly of the film project I invested in?"
"Ah, even if you ask me a hundred times, I will still give the same answer. I have never been optimistic about it. The previous experience of "Red Cliff" was there, but you still went on the ship of "The Crossing" without hesitation.
The former was lucky, with the island country as a guarantee, and China Film did not lose money. But "The Crossing", how can it be compared with "Titanic"..."
Lin Nan had another sentence that he didn't say: "Is Wu Yusen comparing himself to Cameron? Or can Zhang Ziyi and Jin Chengwu compete with Leo and Kate Winslet?"
Lin Nan's answer surprised the three people present. Guo Fan and Han Jianu were the first to hear Lin Nan say such a serious word.
Han Sanping seemed to have lost his energy and spirit all of a sudden, and sighed:
"It is impossible to sell. The rules of China Film Group do not allow it. No matter how much or how little it sells or whether it guarantees capital, there will be suspicion of asset loss. I can only not think about Xiao Ma..."
"Oh no", these are the only two words in Lin Nan's mind.
…………
January gave the film and television industry a feeling of passing quickly, perhaps this is related to the overwhelming film publicity and entertainment gossip.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "The Man from Macau", "Frozen", "Ex-Files", "A Chinese Odyssey"...
Several movies are popular during the Spring Festival, and the publicity is not bad.
But what the film industry is most concerned about is the Berlin International Film Festival and the Academy Awards, which are about to announce the nomination list.
Ning Hao, Lou Ye, Lin Nan, Feng Xiaogang...several well-known directors!
To be honest, Lin Nan himself is a little nervous.
Thinking about the afternoon of New Year's Day, he still laughed at Ning Hao, now he has to laugh at himself.
"Nomination time is coming."
