That year Huayu

After all, "Ip Man" is no match for "If You Are the One" during the Lunar New Year season.

After the box office hit 120 million, it completely stalled and was announced to be released.

On the other hand, "If You Are the One" has surpassed 100 million in five days and is making great progress...

Ying Huang is already very satisfied with this. For a long time, none of the movies he made before were as profitable as this one.

"Director Lin, let's strike while the iron is hot and prepare for the sequel, right?" Yang Shoucheng said on the phone.

“With the first film laying the foundation, the sequel will bring its own fans and fans.

The quality of your filming and production cannot be worse than the first one. Lin Nan warned.

This is what Yang Shoucheng wants.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, the sequel will be better than the first one in terms of team and production. What about the script?"

"Ask your people to go to my company to get it. I have already made arrangements."

A few hours later, Ying Huang announced the sequel plan of "Ip Man" to the outside world.

"Is the phone still not getting through?" Zhen Zidan asked his agent.

"Mani's line has been busy. Logically speaking, when the sequel starts, they should contact us immediately. After all, you are the protagonist..."

The agent also felt a little guilty when he said this.

Even in series, it is common for the protagonists to change.

Donnie Yen frowned. He had just stepped into the ranks of first-line stars, and the sequel was very important to him.

"Let's go find Director Yang in person and convince ourselves?"

Zhen Zidan was indeed rash when he went to see Lin Nan first.

It has been beaten intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days, and it is also being beaten now.

"Well, let's go now." Zhen Zishan nodded and said.

…………

In the huge film and television industry, divided by schools, the Nortel Circle is definitely a big one.

Ever since the news came out that "Li Mi's Conjecture" lost money last time and Lin Nan was still willing to invest in Cao Baoping, the teachers in the college looked at him with more complicated eyes.

Today Lao Jiang came to Lin Nan and talked about investment.

"Director Jiang, don't you also want to make a movie?"

"Me? I haven't had that idea for a while.

One of your seniors, a graduate student in directing in 2004, who is older than you, came back to look for investment, and they thought of you. "

"How many movies have you made? What are your masterpieces?"

If it were a senior film and television practitioner like Cao Baoping, Lin Nan wouldn't ask these questions, but fresh graduates would have to ask.

“I’ve never made a movie before, but this is the first one.

He has been working as an executive director and assistant director after graduation. If you go and take a look, it is to show respect to other professors. If it doesn't work, just reject him. "

Lao Jiang looked like he was dealing with an errand.

Lin Nan didn't care. He just treated it as a gold dig, and he might be able to find something good.

When Lao Jiang brought people to the editing room, Lin Nan was stunned.

Lu Yang, who graduated with a master's degree in 2007, is five years older than Lin Nan and looks really ordinary.

"Director Lin, I remember what you said at the graduation ceremony, haha." The visitor said hello with a smile on his face.

Lin Nan's graduation speech included a promise to invest in films made by directing students.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the script and his own abilities are not too bad, he will consider it.

"Just remember it, bring the script with you?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

“I’ll definitely bring it with me, here it is.

I originally planned to work as an assistant director and continue to save money, but it’s too slow and I don’t know when I will be able to make my fortune…”

Lin Nan took over the script, which is a literary and artistic drama. Well, this usually saves money.

""Cinema for the Blind"?"

"Yes, I wrote the script myself." Lu Yang said with confidence in his tone.

Lin Nan quickly flipped through the script. The story was very simple, suitable for film festivals and selling copyrights.

"Are you interested in being an actor?"

Lin Nan asked without looking up.

"Teacher Wang Jinsong promised to give me a schedule..."

This sentence attracted Lin Nan's attention. Yes, that person was very willing to support the students of this school.

Soon after, Lu Yang left the academy.

Lao Jiang ran over curiously, "Did you vote?"

"Voted."

"How many."

"Two million or so."

Lu Yang's original budget was 2.5 million, but Lin Nan gave him 2.6 million and asked him to go to the company to sign a contract with Yue Jun.

Lao Jiang gave a thumbs up. "Okay, your reputation is now out."

…………

The news first spread in the school and then was reported by the media.

This is the second Nortel student Lin Nan has invested in, majoring in directing.

The first one is Ning Hao, who is now a famous director.

"Lin Nan does a better job than many big companies in supporting new directors."

Many companies specifically went to inquire about the news. After learning that it was a literary film worth over two million yuan, they instantly lost interest.

Everyone thought it would be another "Stone" movie.

After the release of "Ip Man", "If You Are the One" has truly become a dominant player, with a stable daily box office of nearly 17 million. Huayi is already preparing for the celebration party later.

Yinghuang Headquarters.

Donnie Yen and his agent have been waiting for a long time.

But the feedback I received was that Yang Shoucheng was having a meeting, and the people attending the meeting were the director and production team of "Ip Man".

"Sister Mani, Zidan is really sincere. I didn't think too much about it in the capital at that time..."

The agent was apologizing in front of Huo Wenxi.

"Some things have rules."

"Sister Mani is right. What about the sequel?"

"Wait a moment, Director Yang and the others have finished their meeting and will see you."

Huo Wenxi is very satisfied with the attitude of Zhen Zidan's team. After all, the original team is definitely the best choice.

Not long after, I saw Ye Weixin and others coming down in the elevator.

"Director Ye."

Zhen Zidan and others walked over with smiles on their faces.

"It is planned to start work after the year. If someone else takes the role, everyone will have a headache. You and Director Yang have a good talk."

As he spoke, Ye Weixin patted Zonnie Yen on the shoulder.

In his opinion, Yang Shoucheng would not replace him, but he was still a little angry.

"I will, thank you, Director Ye."

"You're welcome."

With "Ip Man", Ye Weixin was successfully promoted to a billionaire director, and he is in a very good mood recently.

An hour later, Zhen Zi left Yang Shoucheng's office with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until he left the Yinghuang Building and got into the car that his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"drive."

"How's it going? Is there any problem with the sequel?" the agent asked hurriedly.

"No problem, but the salary will not increase."

"Or three million?! Isn't this too low?"

Zhen Zidan had a cold face and said nothing.

Waiting for him to stand firm...

——

On the 22nd, the star-studded TV series press conference was held.

A lot of first- and second-tier celebrities and media came.

Huang Xiaoming, Zeng Li, Hu Jun, etc. are all actors in "The Martian" and are considered acquaintances to support them.

Lin Nan and Ning Hao were at the scene and only stayed for an hour.

As a favor, showing one's face was enough, so Lu Zheng sent the two of them out personally.

"Has the post-editing of "Hunting" been completed?"

"That's almost it. Just these two days."

Ning Hao is now just waiting for "Racing" to be released, and then he can concentrate on filming "No Man's Land".

"A company came to me two days ago and wanted to sign the priority investment rights for my future movies." Ning Hao started to show off again.

"Agreed?" Lin Nan said in a flattering manner.

"Haha, I would have agreed before, but I definitely won't do it now. In the future, it will be a cooperative option at best."

What Ning Hao said makes sense. Now that he is famous and powerful, he can do his own projects without having to work for others.

Lin Nan was quite curious as to which company it was.

"Which company? They actually have the confidence to ask you for priority investment rights."

“It is a company that mainly produces TV series, Galloping Pony.

They wanted to officially enter the film industry next year, and seeing my small success in Bad Monkey, they offered me an olive branch.

Their vice president is very talkative and a strong woman. "

Ning Hao recalled.

Lin Nan had an impression. At the beginning of the year, this company raised 40 million US dollars, which shocked the entire film and television industry.

You must know that even Huayi has raised several rounds of financing, but none of them can match the amount of Xiaoma's first round of financing.

After raising so much money, he must enter the film industry.

After separating from Ning Hao, Lin Nan returned to the company.

"Insidious" has been airing for several days.

"According to the data obtained from the TV station, the average ratings these days are 4.9%, and the highest rating is 7%..."

Yue Jun reported the data with excitement.

It's obvious that this TV series is as popular as "Soldier Assault" and "Leader" before it.

Not long after, Yue Jun mentioned another thing, "There is something wrong with Tudou. Not long ago, Mr. Wang and his wife filed for divorce..."

Lin Nan's eyes lit up, "Is there nothing else?"

"Yes. Because the competition among video websites is too fierce, they want to postpone the final payment for one month to prepare for emergencies.

Of course, they also said that if we don't agree, forget it, they will pay according to the agreed time. "

Lin Nan tapped his fingers on the desk and thought for a while.

"You go and reply to them, I agree."

Yue Jun didn't ask any further questions. It was already known to everyone that Lin Nan was a shareholder of Tudou.

"Okay, I'll inform you now."

After Yue Jun finished speaking, he left the office and closed the door behind him.

Lin Nan was thinking about what Yue Jun had just said, but Wang Wei still took this step.

But it doesn't matter, no matter where it develops in the end, it will not affect Lin Nan.

The original intention of investing that 10 million US dollars was not simply to wait for potatoes to go on the market.

"Whether it's listed or not, I can accept it."

Lin Nan murmured to himself that he would still follow up on the subsequent financing.

Invitations for "Sword and Sword III" have been distributed throughout the industry.

The Tang Dynasty was very high-profile this time, not only because Hu Ge was a first-line niche, but also because he went there with the purpose of flattering others.

"How did she reply?"

"Yang Mi said that she has one year left on her contract and cannot consider us for the time being."

The assistant conveyed the original words to Cai Yinong.

"What a pity. Go and talk to Rong Xinda about Yang Mi's advertising video. Perfect is still waiting for my reply."

"Well, I'll go right away."

the other side.

Yang Mi was not interested in Cai Yinong's recruitment at all.

In her opinion, Tangren cannot provide film resources, so signing with this company is no different from providing for retirement.

And there is already Liu Shishi there. Even if she goes there, she won't get a good role.

It's better to wait until the contract expires and go find Zeng Jia.
