Chapter 642 We All Owe Zhou Xingchi a Movie Ticket

When Lin Nan woke up early in the morning, she heard that Wang Jing's "The Man from Macau 2" would hold a press conference in the capital in the morning.

Under the huge pressure of public opinion in the mainland and the attitude of tacitly banning, Bona and Wang Jing's team made decisive adjustments.

In the first part, some people who were blatantly crooked were eliminated, and this part added a lot of mainland actors.

The media over there seem to have learned a little bit in the past two years, but only a little.

Although they dare not openly refute the fact of the ban, they are still sarcastic and indirect.

They say that the mainland market is too fragile and petty, and they always nitpick and exaggerate their actors.

Even some actors and artists over there are still defending the idiots who were banned. I don't know if they are pig-brains or have ulterior motives?

Before eight o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finished washing and eating breakfast.

"Let's go, set off for home."

Putting on sunglasses, holding Lin Nan's hand, Miss Liu was about to go out.

The high ponytail swayed gently, looking very excited.

Lin Nan was holding a phone with his other hand, half a body behind her.

"The day after tomorrow morning, I'll sign the contract at China Film Group, don't forget it."

"Don't worry, Mr. La, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan saw another text message from Wang Changtian.

"Running Man" will officially start recording in four days, and I have to show up at that time to boost momentum.

"The Mermaid?" Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and asked.

She learned about Zhou Xingchi's new movie from Lin Nan two days ago, and the 90 million was invested in this movie.

"Yes, it's this one."

Lin Nan pretended to be in pain, "I have to recover these two days, and take advantage of the sharp rise in Huayi's stock price to cash in some stocks."

"Hahaha, don't say it's to improve your life. They are all joking now, asking me to manage your money, saying that you are too extravagant."

Looking at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei joked with a smile.

"You? Haha, you can't even manage your own finances, and..." Lin Nan smiled and suddenly looked at Liu Yifei's eyes jokingly.

"What's that look in your eyes?" Miss Liu was a little silly.

"I was wondering if someone was hinting at me just now? Princess Sissi, what do you think?"

"Ah? Then you are just overthinking. I am still planning to let you eat gigolo."

Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly, crossed her arms in front of her chest, she is a standard independent woman.

"Tsk tsk, it's really not easy. I have been waiting for your gigolo since I saw you at school for the first time."

"Ah, stop talking."

After saying it awkwardly, the smile on her oval face could not be stopped.

The car drove quickly towards the airport. It was not too congested at this time, and it arrived just after nine o'clock.

Tomorrow night, it will be the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival, which is the final and most grand red carpet segment.

It is estimated that except for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, basically no celebrities in the circle will leave the Magic City today.

Because for most stars, the red carpet of a Class A film festival is a top resource, which means exposure, shots, and commercial value.

Those who have film works will definitely not be absent, and those who don’t will find ways to go up and get on.

When some entertainment reporters saw Lin Nan and Liu Yifei at the airport, they were a little emotional.

“Only Director Lin dares to play like this. He really brought Liu Yifei to attend the forum and have fun. Oh no, it was to have fun and attend the forum by the way!”

…………

Hai Run, which successfully acquired a shell and reorganized for nearly two months, announced the news of the official resumption of stock trading in the morning.

So far, the film and television industry has added another listed company.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei left the Capital Airport, they were blocked by media reporters and asked about their views on the matter.

In addition to congratulating, he also publicly stated his attitude for the first time-Lin Nan Pictures has no plans to go public and will not go public.

Then, the news spread quickly on the Internet.

A large number of companies in the circle, Internet companies and financial institutions all felt it was a pity.

You know, once Lin Nan Pictures goes public, the guaranteed bottom line will be another Huayi, and it will most likely be stronger.

Many people even think that Lin Nan is a little ungrateful and too independent, just not wanting to let the big guys take advantage!

"Backdoor listing, the potential is really not good, the market value is only 2.522 billion?"

Liu Xiaoli was arranging lunch, and Liu Yifei was running around, saying that she was helping, but in fact she was just messing around.

Lin Nan was ordered to wait for dinner in the living room, and he immediately started to check the news.

Compared with Huayi, the market value of Hai Run is only one-thirteenth, which is really like a joke.

However, Deng Chao and his wife successfully became capital through Hai Run's listing.

After having lunch with Liu Yifei and his future mother-in-law, Lin Nan rested for more than an hour and hurried back to the company.

The location work of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" is progressing very smoothly, and the start time may be advanced.

"The first round of broadcast rights were bought by Capital TV, Dragon TV, Blueberry TV, and Shandong TV, and the profits are very good."

In the office, Lin Nan took the details handed over by Yue Jun and read them carefully.

The production cost of "Red Sorghum" was as high as 120 million yuan, mainly because Zhou Xun was quite expensive. After all, she was the winner of the three major film awards, and she took 30 million yuan.

Even though she had a good relationship with Lin Nan and took the initiative to ask for a reduction in pay, Lin Nan could not really reduce it.

If she lowered her TV drama pay, would she lower it again when other big directors or big companies approached her in the future?

If she lowered it, it would affect Zhou Xun's future market quotation, and if she didn't, she would offend people!

So, Lin Nan didn't lower Zhou Xun's pay by a penny last year, with an episode pay of 500,000.

"Sixty episodes, each episode is sold at a price of 1.1 million. Only a recognized and influential high-quality drama like Red Sorghum can sell for this price." Yue Jun said proudly.

"Four companies in the first round, 66 million each, the profit is really good. Otherwise, why do some companies only shoot TV dramas? Although the profit is not as good as that of a hit movie, the risk is much smaller." Lin Nan nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Director Lin, there are several invitations and invitation cards of yours."

Looking at the red wedding invitation card at the top, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, there really was one.

"Let me see. Wow, at the end of November? Together with the Golden Horse Awards, and in Taipei! There won't be another Golden Horse Awards next?"

Lin Nan admired his own bad mouth. Just after he finished speaking, the next letter was a guest invitation letter for the Golden Horse Awards.

"Tsk tsk, I just won a few awards for "Bad Genius", and this is still sticking to me? Let's talk about it later, and I'm probably not free.

This year, "Manchester by the Sea" will be registered for the Golden Globe and Oscars, and I may have to stay in Hollywood during that time."

After chatting for a while, Lin Nan asked about "Mojin".

Wu Ershan personally led the team to the site to scout the scene, and will be back before the end of the month.

If it's fast, "Mojin" can officially start shooting in July.

...

The Shanghai International Film Festival, which has been lively for nearly ten days, has finally come to an end.

Since early in the morning, Weibo has been filled with interactive photos posted by assistants or studios of various stars.

People trying on dresses, putting on makeup, taking photos, each one is either beautiful or handsome, anyway, there is no ugly one!

All the female stars were preparing for the red carpet, and they were bound to show their best in those two or three minutes to compete for the top spot.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were free at night, so they watched the live broadcast.

Sure enough, in the eyes of all the stars in the circle, the most important part of the Magic City International Film Festival is not the award ceremony, but the closing red carpet.

"Even if Gong Li comes to be the chairman of the jury, it can't change the style of the Magic City Film Festival."

After watching the award ceremony, Lin Nan sighed.

Except for the Jury Award, all the important awards in the main competition unit were won by foreign films as expected.

However, this year's Film Channel Media Awards unit is quite interesting. In contrast to last year's doubts, everyone agrees this time.

Because the best actor and actress were two powerful actors, Li Baotian and Tao Hong.

Even the best new director was not criticized like Guo Jingming last year, but there were many praises.

"Xiao Yang, "Old Boys: Way of the Dragon"! It seems to be released next month?"

...

In the morning, La Peikang's secretary called to remind him.

Lin Nan took two employees from the company and went directly to China Film.

It was the same as when they met a week ago, La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Zhou Xingchi and Lin Nan.

It was just that everyone brought one or two more people this time because it involved contracts.

"Has Director Zhou found all the investors?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

"Thank you Director Lin for your concern. I will invest part of it, and the rest has been decided."

The four people were chatting and laughing, while the subordinates were carefully checking the film investment agreement.

"Director La, Director Ren, Director Lin, I have something to tell you in advance."

"Director Zhou, please speak."

"In order to ensure the publicity effect of this movie, my team is preparing to hold a two to three-month audition to select the heroine."

Hearing Zhou Xingchi's words, La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun's eyes lit up instantly.

Several famous "girls" in the circle that people talk about with relish are Mou Girl, Star Girl, and Dragon Girl.

These titles are undoubtedly the names of newcomers.

And every newcomer can cause huge discussion and attention from the outside world.

If a special audition is held for the new "Star Girl", it is conceivable that the publicity effect will be sensational!

"Good idea!"

"Shanghai Film Studio supports it."

"I have no objection."

"Lin Nan, you didn't even promote a "Lin Girl", you are not good enough!

That Jing Tian, ​​count as half. Although she played in your "The Martian", the first movie to be released was a horror movie "Anaconda."

La Peikang looked at Lin Nan and joked.

Lin Nan didn't care about Zhou Xingchi, and replied casually:

"Didn't Mr. La find out? These "Mou Girls", "Dragon Girls", and "Star Girls" have all had scandals with the name in front of "Girl."

"Good guy, are you henpecked?!" La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun laughed.

Zhou Xingchi on the side smiled and shook his head. He had a lawsuit with the "Star Girl".

"Boss La, no problem."

"Boss Ren, no problem with the contract."

"Director Lin, OK."

As their subordinates reported, several people began to sign contracts.

China Film Group 25%, 75 million yuan; Shanghai Film Group 15%, 45 million yuan; Lin Nan 30%, 90 million yuan!

"I have an idea, do you want to hear it? It's about publicity."

After signing several contracts, Lin Nan suddenly looked up at several people and said.

"If you have a good idea, just say it."

"Director Lin, I would like to ask you humbly."

"Director Zhou has starred in many classic comedy movies. In the past, most mainland audiences watched pirated copies on the Internet or watched them for free on TV.

And the three words "Zhou Xingchi" are also the "god" in the hearts of countless mainland movie fans! In view of this, we can play the emotional card in publicity."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang nodded after thinking.

Only Zhou Xingchi smiled a little embarrassedly, "How can it be so exaggerated as Director Lin said."

"Just tell me how to play the emotional card for publicity?" La Peikang asked.

"For example, we can start online marketing from now on, and the core content is just one sentence: We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket!"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he looked at the three people.

La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and Zhou Xingchi were all stunned, but their eyes were glowing green!
