Chapter 612 Listing

Qiong Yao wrote a long Weibo post, which was like an open letter to the General Administration.

This is the hottest topic in the entertainment industry today, the headline of the headlines.

In the open letter, she was stern and angry, and reported Yu Zheng's bad behavior of plagiarizing several of her works by real name, and gave all the examples.

She pleaded with the General Administration to stop broadcasting, remove from shelves, and ban the latter's TV series, and clearly stated that she would sue Yu Zheng.

Afterwards, Yu Zheng immediately responded with a long article, but the wording was very interesting.

This person obviously had a certain psychological preparation a long time ago.

In his long reply, he first regarded himself as a junior and praised Qiong Yao, and then he made a eloquent sophistry:

He said that those plots were coincidences and misunderstandings, and the "plagiarism theory" was malicious hype, provocation and smear by some media and netizens.

In the script he wrote, there was only tribute and reference to Qiong Yao, and there was no plagiarism!

Yu Zheng obviously underestimated Qiong Yao's determination this time. The latter did not want to settle the matter peacefully. His company's reply was only three words: See you in court.

99% of netizens on the Internet all support Qiong Yao, and a large number of screenwriters in the industry have expressed their stance to boycott Yu Zheng.

There are even screenwriters who have worked with Yu Zheng who publicly said: "As early as 2009, Yu Zheng asked me to directly misappropriate the main content of Qiong Yao's script.

And bluntly said that as long as the content copied does not exceed 20%, it will be fine. For example, if you copy 20 episodes of the other party, but you can expand the series to 100 episodes, in this case, even the court cannot pursue it!"

This kind of operation routine is simply eye-opening for netizens.

Some netizens who are interested in good things even "translated" Yu Zheng's long article that seemed to show weakness but was actually clamoring. The meaning is very shameless:

First, I used the actor you made famous as a supporting role, so this is not plagiarism, but admiration and imitation.

Second, you already knew that I was plagiarizing, but you have not stopped it, so I am not wrong.

Third, South Korea is also copying. I am not the first one. If you want to find trouble, please go to South Korea first. They are all fine, but I am unlucky. This is unfair!

…

For a time, Yu Zheng, who was already notorious in the industry, became the target of the screenwriters in the circle.

In the past, no screenwriter dared to take on Yu Zheng's background, or no one succeeded, because he could make money and promote people, and was "protected" by the market and capital.

But now it is different. With the senior big names in the screenwriter industry taking the lead, the entire industry has begun to denounce Yu Zheng.

"I heard that Qiong Yao's attitude is very firm. He wrote an open letter and then officially sued in the capital.

However, Yu Zheng is not idle either. He should be spending money on public relations. Posts on the Internet and Weibo that whitewash him are appearing and increasing in a blowout manner."

Tiangong Color, Lin Nan looked at the message sent by Wang Wei while listening to Yue Jun's gossip.

There are many actors who support Qiong Yao, but not a single one supports Yu Zheng, including those actors he made famous, who dare not say a word.

Yu Zheng Studio's "Palace Lock Liancheng", which had been on air for less than a week, was the direct fuse that angered the old lady.

But unfortunately, Tudou bought the exclusive online broadcast rights for the show, and the number of clicks was very popular.

According to Wang Wei, Tudou had received a unilateral notice from Qiongyao Company, asking it to remove the show, but he was not going to respond. He would wait until the lawsuit was over and the court made a ruling before he decided whether to remove it.

Guangguang and Wanda both supported Wang Wei's approach, and Lin Nan replied to the message and chose to second the motion. After all, Mango TV was still broadcasting normally.

After chatting with Yue Jun for more than ten minutes, Lin Nan once again devoted himself to the post-production of "Manchester by the Sea".

It is now mid-April, and he has to finish the post-production within two months at the latest.

This will leave Crystal Pictures more than half a month for promotion and preview, so that they can register for Oscars and other awards in early July.

In addition, Jiang Xingrou's TV series team is also ready, and "The Journey of Flower" will officially start filming in Hengdian at the end of the month.

…………

"Jointly produced by Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Ning Hao and supervised by Lin Nan, the movie "Heart Flower Road" is officially scheduled for September 30, locking in the National Day."

Another movie with a big director and a big cast has been scheduled, and it's a comedy!

Many producers in the production industry who are eyeing the National Day are in a dilemma now.

Everyone even began to consider whether to change the schedule to avoid "Heart Flower Road"?

At present, the May Day schedule is about to begin.

The promotion of the three domestic films "Rebirth: The Frozen Gate", "My Deskmate", and "Hypnotist" has entered a white-hot stage.

And "Coming Home" in mid-May was shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival today, which amplified the publicity effect by more than ten times.

Just as the name of the movie suggests, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li "returned" with "Coming Home"!

But when it comes to publicity effect and attention, "The Invisible Guest" is still firmly in the top spot.

Lin Nan's film won the first Oscar for the mainland, and this gimmick was extremely loud.

After leaving Tiangong Color and returning home in the afternoon, Lin Nan received many text messages from people in the industry, asking him to read the news about Alibaba.

Lin Nan was quite curious, could it be that the production of film and television projects had begun?

After he opened the news, he was stunned in less than ten seconds and was shocked.

Alibaba, which is rich and powerful, has finally begun to subvert the three views of the traditional film and television industry since it acquired China Culture, a listed company, and entered the film and television industry!

They launched a crowdfunding business for the film and television industry, namely: "Entertainment Treasure".

This business is well promoted:

"Internet users can invest at least 100 yuan to invest in popular film and television projects in the industry, provide production funds for them and participate in dividends, with an annualized return of at least 7%."

The Internet is very lively, and countless netizens are extremely excited, as if the film and television industry is right in front of them and within their reach. Ordinary people can also be investors in movies and TV series!

A large number of netizens are leaving messages and suggestions, calling on Ali to talk to big directors such as Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, and Xu Ke. As long as these people's film projects are launched, they will definitely invest even if they sell everything they have.

Unlike those "ignorant" netizens, the film and television industry is a little frightened.

What is Ali going to do? Why does this business sound so "scary"?

Practitioners in the film and television industry, especially production companies, directors, and producers, who doesn't know that this industry is a high-risk industry, especially movies, which are high-risk among high-risks!

Why does Ali dare to guarantee an annualized return of 7%? This feels wrong, it's completely off track...

Besides, crowdfunding to invest in popular film and television projects? Which popular project needs crowdfunding! ?

Big directors' projects are never short of investment, they are the ones who choose the investors!

In the eyes of the traditional film and television industry, "Entertainment Treasure" is a bit scary!

"Good guy, really good guy, dare to play like this!"

Lin Nan was browsing the news and couldn't help but exclaimed, Ali's operation was really amazing, and it was too bold.

"What are you talking about, you look scared?"

Liu Yifei came down from the second floor in her home clothes and cute slippers.

She just took a shower and dried her hair, and she looked unusually pink, her white feet and toes painted with pink nail polish were also very conspicuous.

"The film and television industry is going to be in chaos."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei and replied, saying it very seriously.

Miss Liu sat down next to Lin Nan, and I don't know which smell of body fragrance or shower gel prevailed, faint and charming.

She glanced at the news on the tablet, "Crowdfunding?"

"Yes, Internet companies have many tricks. This is not crowdfunding for making movies, this is..."

Lin Nan stopped talking halfway.

"The company's movies don't need crowdfunding, why do you worry so much."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and smiled at Lin Nan.

"That's right, I'll stick together with Guangguang and Wanda, just ignore this giant crocodile."

Lin Nan nodded and muttered, then looked at Liu Yifei, "Why are you taking a shower at this time, you didn't sleep until the afternoon again?"

"You slept until the afternoon, I got up at 11 o'clock in the morning, but Xie Nan and the others asked me to go out for dinner and shopping at the same time."

Well, women always have to clean up before going out, but it seems that Liu Yifei will just take a shower and go out without makeup.

"If you need anything, call me and I'll pick you up."

"Yeah, I know."

...

The next day, Tiangong Color.

Lin Nan continued to immerse himself in the post-production of "Manchester by the Sea".

Outsiders heard that Bona had started filming another "Sword of the Three Young Masters", directed by Hong Kong director Er Dongsheng, who was also a pretentious one.

He won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director with "One Nite in Mongkok", beating Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", which is still a joke.

But what Lin Nan was more concerned about was that "Ordinary World" seemed to be open for visits, which meant that it was not far from the end of filming.

Lin Nan liked the original novel very much and had asked Yue Jun to ask.

But unfortunately, the film and television copyright was bought by China Television Films, and they did not agree to transfer it, so they had to give up in the end.

"Director Lin, someone from Alibaba is coming."

The assistant ran to Tiangong Color and said to Lin Nan.

"Is Director Yue in the company?"

"Yes."

"Let him go, I'm not in the company today."

Lin Nan ordered directly, he was too lazy to deal with people from Alibaba, each of them was like a crosstalk, all fake and arrogant.

"Okay."

...

Just after 11 o'clock in the morning, Yue Jun came to find Lin Nan.

"It's definitely not a good thing, right?"

"Haha, Director Lin really guessed it. They want to invite our company to participate in the "Entertainment Treasure" project, or buy our company's investment share in the next movie at a premium."

"After buying it back, put it into "Entertainment Treasure"?"

Lin Nan looked disdainful, as if asking and answering.

"I guess it's almost certain. The senior executives of Ali Culture China came today. I heard from him that they will contact the big directors in the circle one by one.

Strive to make at least 50% of the new movies that are approved and started in the industry, especially the blockbusters, be handled by Entertainment Treasure. Tsk tsk tsk, listen to this tone, they are going to come in and unify the market! Haha..."

Lin Nan also laughed. Sure enough, the boss has the same style as his subordinates. It's Ali's style, nothing wrong with it!

"Then what did you say?"

"Linnan Pictures has sufficient funds, and has fixed partners from the upstream of the production industry to the downstream of the theaters and even the surrounding and network platforms. No link is weak.

I said it so bluntly, but he still asked me to think about it. The tone was as if Ali wanted to take care of our business and support us!"

Yue Jun laughed while talking, and many Tiangong Color employees around him also laughed.

"Don't pay attention to them. Others think differently than we do. They are not the same people at all."

Lin Nan shook his head and said loudly.

…

"The Invisible Guest" is being released in China and there is no need to prepare for a premiere because it has already been released in North America.

But there will definitely be a premiere of "Return" in the same period, and it will definitely be very grand.

No, even the invitation letter was sent to Lin Nan, and it was not sent to the company, but directly to his home!

An invitation letter and two names, just like the original "Hawthorn Tree Love".

People in the industry have long regarded Lin Nan and Liu Yifei as one and the same.

This time, which was very rare, Zhang Yimou even called.

"At the beginning of May, both you and Yifei will come to take a look and give me some advice."

"Director Zhang, you're welcome. We will definitely come when the time comes."

Lin Nan agreed, he also wanted to have a sneak peek.

You must know that the literary and realistic films made by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in those years were all films that students from the Nortel Directing Department had to make over and over again. I heard that the same was true for China Theater Company and Shanghai Theater Company.

"Okay, then it's settled."

"Um."

Lin Nan heard that "Return" could have entered the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival.

However, it was withdrawn due to artificial application from the domestic side, and finally went to the official screening module with regret.

As for the reason, you don’t need to guess.

Because Zhang Yimou is a famous international director, and this movie involves that special era background.

Time flies and the day comes when the results are about to come out.

Lin Nan had just watched the Hollywood animated movie "Rio 2" with Liu Yifei in the morning. When he got home at noon, he received a call from across the ocean.

"I went to the kitchen to help my mother and aunt serve the dishes."

Liu Yifei said softly and ran to the kitchen.

"Dr. Cao?"

"Lin Nan, it's 10:30 pm here..."

There was a hint of trembling and excitement in Cao Guowei's voice, and Lin Nan realized something.

He also suppressed some excitement and asked: "Director Cao, are we going to start?"

Over there, Cao Guowei suddenly laughed out loud, "In 11 hours, Weibo will officially open. You are the major shareholder, remember to publicize and celebrate..."

"11 hours..."

Lin Nan muttered this number, his eyes shining:

"Well, I will post on Weibo soon, wishing our stock price will skyrocket at the opening, haha..."

…

When Liu Yifei came out with the plate, she saw Lin Nan sitting at the dinner table laughing like a fool.

"What's wrong, Lin Nan? You're smiling so stupidly."

"11 hours later, Weibo officially landed on Nasdaq." Lin Nan said with a smile.

In his opinion, Weibo’s stock price will never be low. It is the world’s first listed Chinese social media with a market of more than one billion people!

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly widened:

"So fast! Do we have to stay up all night and wait? It will be late at night or even early tomorrow morning when the news comes back."

"No wait, have a good sleep tonight and see the results tomorrow."

As he spoke, Lin Nan took the tablet and started editing Weibo, and posted it two minutes later.

"Director Cao told me that Weibo will be launched on Nasdaq in 11 hours. I wish the opening of the market will be smooth and the stock price will skyrocket..."

…

While Lin Nan was having lunch with Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and others, the entire domestic film and television industry was attracted by this Weibo post.

“I’m looking forward to the share price on the first day.”

"I'm curious how much Director Lin Nan's 12% of the original shares will be worth after Weibo goes public?"

"This seems to be the only part of Director Lin's huge assets that is clearly stated on the surface?!"

"I envy Yifei..."

…
