That year Huayu

Chapter 401 The 850 million is spent, the wolf is coming

The next morning, Liu Yifei didn't let Lin Nan send her to Nortel.

Her style also changed to a bare face with light makeup and an ordinary casual sweater.

Liu Yifei, who took off all her jewelry and tied her hair in a high ponytail, looked even more pure and refined.

At first glance, it seemed like she was going to take an art exam instead of being a guest for the re-examination.

"Well, it was indeed too conspicuous yesterday. Today I want to be a little more low-key."

Hearing Miss Liu's words without self-awareness, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing and complained:

"Unless I change your face, I can't keep a low profile."

Liu Yifei looked proud of her use, rolled her eyes at Lin Nan, and chuckled.

"You're so sweet, I have to get going."

As soon as she put on her sunglasses, Liu Yifei got into the Ferrari.

"You can drive slower!"

"Know it."

Looking at the red car speeding away, Lin Nan shook his head. Driving this car to school was not low-key at all!

…………

As a film director, Lin Nan heard a lot of news today about Kodak's official filing for bankruptcy protection.

This is the world's largest film manufacturer and affects the entire film industry.

Fortunately, Lin Nan started to mix digital cameras and film shooting a long time ago when making movies.

Unlike Feng Xiaogang and others, they will have to face the adaptation process from pure film movies to digital cameras.

I heard that the crew of "1942" is hoarding film. Some other powerful directors are also doing this! They prefer the texture of film and are used to shooting films on film. This time, I was forced to learn and adapt to digital cameras.

In addition, Kodak publicly sold its Oscar naming rights with eight years remaining.

In the domestic film and television industry, many big companies are ready to make moves, such as Huayi, Bona, Chengtian, Yinghuang...

But the loudest shouter was Yang Zai. He immediately shouted on Weibo:

"Oscar naming rights, this is a good project! Juli Pictures decided to bid for it and buy it!

We will take the lead and make contributions to the domestic film industry in Hollywood..."

The slogan was shouted loudly, but what it was greeted with was overwhelming boos and ridicule from the Internet and within the circle.

"I vowed before that I would invest in 10 movies with a cost of hundreds of millions, but why did it end in vain?"

"I heard that Juli Pictures is an empty shell and all the people have been dismissed. Is this true?"

"Huang Shengyi has been married to Qin Yin for several years, but he still pretends to be single on the show and flirts with men..."

…

The aftermath of "White Snake" is clearly not over yet.

Yang Zai's one sentence was immediately criticized by netizens and insiders ten times. In the end, he had to delete Weibo in despair and pretend that nothing happened, leaving nothing but jokes.

…

Tudou went through five rounds of financing and received a total of US$135 million.

Then they burn money, buy copyrights, keep losing money, and keep increasing their market share.

Everything was developing in a positive direction until Wang Wei's incident happened...

Youku, a latecomer, was the first to go public in the United States, and the situation was instantly reversed.

Lin Nan met Wang Wei in the company. In addition, there were many people from lawyers and accounting firms.

Each equity agreement must be signed, fingerprinted, stamped, and filed... without missing any link.

After these procedures were completed, the irrelevant personnel were sent out. For these people, red envelopes in addition to remuneration are indispensable.

Lin Nan and Wang Wei were the only ones left in the office.

"Director Lin, you understand. Although the amount of financing is US$135 million, the market value is higher than this."

Lin Nan nodded. Of course he understood this. After all, Potato had expanded its territory so much.

Even if things happen one after another, the market value will not drop to that point.

"That 850 million has been spent."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Nan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

He spent 850 million in one month, which he had never done before.

He only spent 60 million dollars on the villa in Beverly Hills.

Of course, that was because Lin Nan took advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, and now its value has appreciated a lot.

"It doesn't matter if the money is spent, as long as there is something gained. But, what's going on?"

Lin Nan asked aloud.

There are a few guys who shouted to quit before, but now they are pushing back!

Wang Wei is also a bit embarrassed, "There are always smart people who want to give it a try, especially when they know that new capital will come in to take over."

“But fortunately, I will put these companies last and fight a protracted war.

The most important thing now is that I need money to continue buying back shares, and many shareholders are waiting. Besides, my share..."

Lin Nan knew what Wang Wei was talking about.

"We will not break our promise. Once enough shares are recovered from those people, we will re-inject capital.

At that time, your 15% will be more, and Tudou still needs you, the founder, to continue to be at the helm. "

Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Nan:

"When will the new funds arrive?"

"Soon, just in the next few days."

…

Half an hour later, Wang Wei left Lin Nan Pictures.

According to the original plan, Lin Nan entered the market first to ensure that he got enough shares, and then the three companies acted together.

He took out his cell phone and called Ye Ning.

"Director Lin? The box office of "Pacific Rim" is great, it has reached 1.3 billion. By the end of this week, it should reach 1.32 billion."

Ye Ning's voice was filled with excitement. "Pacific Rim" was his biggest achievement in the past two years.

"I didn't call to talk about this."

"That is?"

"Mr. Ye, please inform your group. You can enter the market. Tudou needs funds."

"Okay, no problem, I'll report it right away. If nothing else happens, the funds will be available at any time the day after tomorrow at the latest."

This efficiency shocked even Lin Nan. It was worthy of Wanda!

The same phone call was made to Wang Changtian, who seemed a little hasty.

It seems that something happened to the crew of "Sad Fairy Tale". As the lead actor, Liu Shishi suffered from pancreatitis and was admitted to the hospital.

For someone like Lao Wang, who is very prudent on budget, it was quite distressing that the crew was delayed for a week.

"No problem, I'll prepare the funds now, don't worry!"

…

This time, Lin Nan ignored what the people at the bank said. He planned to directly use the funds in his account. After all, he couldn't wait a week in terms of time.

…

In the evening, Liu Yifei came back.

"They work really hard. They are only 17 or 18 years old. They started plastic surgery when they were less than 20 years old."

"Art candidates?"

"Yes, Dean Wang Jinsong canceled it on the spot, in front of the candidates. There was no need to wait until the results of the re-examination were announced."

Lin Nan was not surprised to hear that Wang Jinsong took action in person. This man was very strict every time he took the art exam.

"As a result, in the afternoon, a large number of reporters surrounded the art exam site, saying that the school discriminated against plastic surgery candidates."

"Then I'd like to hear how the hospital responded?"

"It was Teacher Wang who came forward and said that natural beauty is the most insurmountable. He does not accept candidates who have plastic surgery!"

As he spoke, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.

"what happened again?"

"I didn't notice it yesterday, but today I saw a lot of 'junior' people."

Lin Nan was confused by Liu Yifei, what did she say?

"Little Fan Bingbing, little Gong Li, little Zhou Dongyu... I also met several 'me's face to face, little Liu Yifei!"

Miss Liu hugged her belly and sat on the sofa, almost laughing. There is no lady image at all.

Lin Nan also smiles heartily, but that's it!

Every year during the art exam, there are always a few "little Fan Bingbing", "little Liu Yifei", "little Zhang Ziyi" in the media reports...

This phenomenon will only become more common the further we go.

…

The film bureau's sudden meeting invitation caught many people in the industry off guard.

It looked like he was in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived at short notice in the evening.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan set off for the General Administration. The nine o'clock meeting was really early!

After arriving, he realized that it was indeed a big deal.

Because all the people present were film companies, directors and producers, and some of them came back from other places.

Several state-owned enterprise bosses all feel as if they haven't had a good night's sleep and are a little out of sorts.

"What's going on?"

Ning Hao bumped into Lin Nan and asked with a yawn.

Feng Xiaogang next to him also yawned again and again, having rushed back all night last night.

Lu Chuan in the distance had a good chat with some old guys in the system.

…

As soon as the time came, Tong Gang on the podium spoke.

"I called you here temporarily today because I have something important to talk about."

The people below, except for a few state-owned enterprise bosses who seemed to know something, everyone else immediately sat upright and listened with their ears pricked up.

"Yesterday morning, we and across the ocean reached an agreement on a memorandum of understanding on WTO film-related issues..."

As soon as these words came out, 99% of the people present were not calm.

Is it finally here? !

Tong Gang sighed:

"Starting from this year, Hollywood's imported split movies have increased from 20 to 34, and all of them are IMAX and 3D movies. The split ratio has been adjusted from 13% to 25%."

Before he could finish his words, noisy discussions suddenly broke out below. It's like a classroom in a big school classroom that can't be quiet.

"Quiet, this matter will be announced in the form of a formal document in two days. Everyone, please be prepared. This time, the wolf is really coming!"

The commotion started again.

"Tong Bureau, can't you change it?"

I don't know who asked the stupid question. Not to mention Tong Gang, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun and others in the first row turned around and looked at that person as if he were a fool. He was an old guy in the system.

"By the way, to be precise, starting from March, you will compete head-on with these Hollywood blockbusters. There are 34 in total, basically all of them are commercial films!"

Lin Nan felt eyes sweeping over him.

"Director Ning Hao, Director Lin Nan, Director Chen Kaige, Director Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan...

You should all have movies released this year, so just be the vanguard! "

Hearing this, the people named were dumbfounded.

Lin Nan understood what this meant, which meant that once their films were finalized, at least one imported film would be arranged to compete with them! Both are normal.

"Why don't you find some time alone and put in four, five, six...seven imported split-account movies?"

Lin Nan made a suggestion jokingly, which instantly attracted a burst of approval.

Especially Feng Xiaogang, slapping his thighs and shouting good ideas...

But Tong Gang above had a dark face.

"What do you think this is? Playing house? You also find a special time to let the imported film consume..."

Tong Gang was angry above, but there was dead silence below.

"Don't think about it. Those methods in the past can no longer be used. Prepare to fight with real swords and guns! Whether you live or die depends on the quality of your movie..."

Tong Gang's words were very decisive. This time, a group of people really felt restless.

The wolf is really coming!
