Chapter 589 Improving Life
Lin Nan couldn't understand why Liu Yifei liked red Ferraris so much in such a huge auto show.
When I asked her, the reason was very simple and unpretentious: "Because I'm used to driving!"
This reason left Lin Nan speechless. It was simply perfect.
Immediately, he decisively swiped his card and waited for the new car. In half a month, there will be a new red Ferrari sports car in Miss Liu's garage.
Whether it is the financial circle or the film and television circle, news always spreads very fast!
Just one day later, word spread about Lin Nan selling Huayi shares.
"Director Lin Nan recently cashed out Huayi shares at a high price in the secondary market, with the transaction amount reaching 168 million yuan."
"Since subscribing for 8 million shares of Huayi in early 2008, after many dividend increases, the specific number of shares held by Director Lin Nan is unknown to the outside world, but it is now the first time he has cashed out."
There is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing on the Internet. The most I can say is: What a huge amount of money!
But for the film and television circles and the financial circle, the meaning is different.
For the film and television industry, actors and artists have experienced deeply what it means to be rich with capital.
I cashed out 168 million at will. Even a super star like Jackie Chan has to work hard for two or three years. After all, the tax rate is very high!
Film and television companies are even more bitter. Their net profits for several years combined are not that much, not to mention that not every drama can make money.
The film and television industry is inherently an industry with long cycles and high risks, so there are no film and television companies that don’t want to go public!
This is not good news for the financial world.
Lin Nan is one of the few great directors in China and is internationally renowned.
In the prospectus for Huayi's initial listing, he, the Golden Lion director, played a large role.
I have held shares for six years. Although it was the first time to cash out, I only cashed out part of it, but it still had a great impact on Huayi.
To put it another way: it doesn’t matter whether you cashed out 168 million, what matters is who cashed out.
Lin Nan cashed out.
As a result, after the news spread, the rising trend of Huayi's stock price was abruptly interrupted, and it immediately began to fall sharply, because many people followed the selling.
After all, for an internationally renowned director and the owner of a top film and television company to sell off the shares of another film and television company, this seems to be something serious!
Lin Nan was answering Wang Zhonglei's call at this time.
"Director Lin, before you sell your stocks, at least say hello to us. Now we are completely caught off guard by this. Other shareholders are asking the reason and whether they have offended you...
In addition, it would be inconvenient for Director Lin to tell me what is the specific reason for selling the stocks this time? besides……"
…
Twenty minutes later, both parties ended the call unhappy.
Huayi, Chairman's Office.
"I'm pretty good at selling. I sold 3.86 million shares, leaving 11 million shares intact!"
Wang Zhongjun took the freshly ground Lanshan, took a sip, and then placed it heavily on the table with an unhappy tone in his voice.
"Listen to what he means, and then..."
"What happens next?" Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhonglei.
"Lin Nan didn't say it clearly, but I think he might keep selling until he clears out all our stocks."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's face turned darker, which meant that Lin Nan had to completely cut off the relationship with Hua Yi.
The office was quiet for a while, only to hear Wang Zhongjun sneer:
"Huayi is developing at a rapid pace, but he, the original shareholder, wants to get off the ship midway. It is really stupid. In a few years, our market value will exceed 100 billion, and when he cries, idiot..."
…
Lin Nan just posted on Weibo:
“Many friends in the industry and media are asking me, why did I suddenly cash out so many Huayi shares?
Let me reply here uniformly. The reason for cashing out some stocks is very simple, just to improve life! Well, no other reason. "
In less than ten minutes, the comments below have exploded and are constantly being refreshed.
"Improve your life? Director Lin, can you let me, sister, stay at your house for a few days and see what you eat? Don't worry, I won't compete with Yifei!"
"The first thing Director Lin did to improve his life was to take Yifei to a car show and then give her a new Ferrari? There are pictures and the truth!"
"What? The leader can also give your family one. It's not expensive for you, it's only a few million."
"Improve your life - what a reason to show off! I don't know you anymore, Lin Nan." Zhu Yawen said with a broken mouth.
"If you can't afford to eat, come to my house with Yifei. As long as you give me the leading role in the next drama!"
"I learned a lesson from Director Lin today. I also want to improve my life!"
"I envy Yifei."
"Envy +1."
"Envy +2."
…
Under Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's Weibo, there have been many photos of the two of them going to car shows to look at cars.
Although they were wearing masks, with their figure and temperament, insiders and paparazzi could tell it was the two of them at a glance, especially Liu Yifei who also tried out a car.
Outside the world, the news about Director Zhang once again caused a lot of discussion in the circle and on the Internet.
From being reported for having a child in March 2012, to voluntarily accepting the punishment when "Return" was released 4 months ago, and now, only two months away, this incident has been completed for two years.
Today, the relevant departments spent four months verifying Da Dao Zhang’s income over the past ten years and finally gave the specific amount of fines, 7.48 million!
As soon as this figure was announced from official channels, it instantly became a hot topic on the Internet. The person who was scolded the most was not Director Zhang, but Zhang Dapao.
Because this kind of fine is calculated based on the annual income of parents in the year before they gave birth to their children. Director Zhang gave birth to two more children, and the total amount was only 7.48 million? !
By reverse calculation, everyone found a problem:
An international director who won two Golden Lions, a Golden Bear and many Best Director Awards, has been with Zhang Dapao for so many years, but his salary and dividends are actually "insultingly" low!
If this doesn't break up, there must be something wrong with his brain!
However, many people in the circle are not focusing on this. Everyone is sighing that the energy of these fifth-generation directors is so vigorous that it is a bit inhuman.
In 2006, Director Zhang was busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympics while filming "Curse of the Golden Flower".
Even so, at the age of 56, he actually found time to have a third child! This is no longer a word "awesome"!
…
News about the premiere of each of the movies in the Spring Festival are spreading.
Because of the New Year's Eve in between, the premiere of the movie must be held several days or even a week in advance.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is no exception.
As the first mainstream commercial film in China, and directed by Lin Nan, the industry's attention to it is almost the highest.
Lin Nan is in the company's office at the moment, answering a long-distance call.
"Lin, our "Fifty Shades of Grey" box office is very good, the North American box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and it will be released around the world in succession.
I have signed a memorandum with Lionsgate, and there are two sequels to come, and they will be filmed later!"
"Sequel? Haha, you guy. Okay, let's just make a sequel."
Lin Nan smiled speechlessly. Anyway, the first part has been filmed, so what's wrong with the second and third parts.
"By the way, how are Leon and the others?"
"Hey, of course they are very happy. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for The Invisible Guest and The Wolf of Wall Street. In his words, there is a 2 in 6 chance, which is a great chance! Haha..."
Lin Nan chuckled, "I hope so."
"Also, Jessica Chastain said that when you come, she must give you a kiss, thank you for nominating her for Best Supporting Actress. Don't worry, I won't tell Crystal."
"Get lost!"
"Haha, okay, see you on the Oscar red carpet, dear boss."
Lin Nan really had nothing to say to Tom, who had no business, so he stood up and walked out of the office.
"Director Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"
The assistant stood up and asked immediately.
"Book me a plane ticket the day after the premiere of Taking Tiger Mountain..."
"Okay, Director Lin."
