That year Huayu

Most of the actors, stars and people in the film and television industry were stunned by the news online.

It’s unbelievable that there are actually artists who would choose to leave Shanhai Media?

Isn’t it satisfying to have a big tree at your back, no shortage of resources, and a smooth future?

The news that Yang Mi's contract with Shanhai Media had expired and would not be renewed quickly spread throughout the film and television industry, entertainment industry, media and the Internet.

Almost instantly it became a hot topic of discussion for everyone and the focus of attention in the circle.

In the eyes of many colleagues, it is Lin Nan's big heart that makes her let go of an A-list actress so easily.

But it also shows that Lin Nan really doesn't care about the so-called A-list stars, because the company's profits never rely on artist managers.

Shanhai Media may not care about a front-line actress with high commercial value, but other companies are different.

The top four actresses, the heroine of a movie with a box office of 500 million, a huge commercial value, and a resume of several well-known movies and hit TV series, this is Yang Mi's current confidence.

In the eyes of other companies, Yang Mi is just a piece of cake. Whoever can sign in will make a lot of money, picking up on Lin Nan's mistakes!

In just half a day, a large number of brokerage companies or film and television companies in the industry began to contact Yang Mi and Zeng Jia one after another, offering to offer their services.

"Is she crazy? There are so many artists out there who dream of signing a contract with Shanhai Media."

"After leaving Shanhai Media, am I afraid that I will become a target? The first of the four little actresses is a very good stepping stone. There are many actresses in the industry who want to step on her, especially those with companies behind them. What? The means may be..."

"Will she still have so many high-quality film resources in the future?"

"Support Sister Mi's choice. All the feasts in the world will come to an end. The next stop will be even better!"

Fans have a lot to think about, including those who are optimistic about it or not, and those who are against it and those who are supportive of it.

Actors and entertainers in the circle are also talking a lot. There are many who are confused, watching the excitement, and even gloating and thinking about replacing him.

"Good thing, this is the best news I've heard in months."

Cai Yinong said with a sneer. There are definitely not a few people in the industry who have the same thoughts as her.

In the past, when trying to win over rivals for my own artists, especially when choosing Yang Mi, I had to be wary and hesitant.

From now on...it won't be necessary.

…

Yue Jun said everything on Weibo and stopped replying. However, reporters from the media still came to the company to block the door. Yue Jun could only deal with it.

Lin Nan's phone was never disconnected. They all thought the company had broken up with Yang Mi, and asked if they could help seal it...

"What kind of seal? It's just that the normal contract will not be renewed when it expires. They are big-hearted and want to be their own bosses..."

Lin Nan was convinced by people like Wang Changtian and Ye Ning. They had good intentions, but when they first asked him if he wanted to be banned, it was as if Lin Nan was a bully.

"Being your own boss? Well, you have a good career plan and you are ambitious. You also know that you can't get promoted as an actor. That's fine. Since it's okay, I'll give it up."

"Well, Mr. Wang, see you later."

Lin Nan smiled silently and threw down the phone, dismissing these people.

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and Yue Jun also notified them early. From now on, Yang Mi has nothing to do with the company.

However, Lin Nan Pictures will not, like some companies in the industry, require them to have no contact with the artists who have left the company, as long as their friends and work can be separated.

…………

"Mimi, I have to announce it to the outside world, otherwise a large number of invitations will continue to come in, wanting to sign you."

"Well, let's go, this is our new beginning."

Yang Mi said confidently.

The first of the four young actresses, coupled with the box office success of "Love in Seattle", her net worth has skyrocketed a lot in the past two months.

To be the top actress, she only needs three things: stable high box office, top awards, and becoming capital.

"I will realize all of these one by one." Yang Mi murmured.

In the afternoon, Zeng Jia posted a Weibo message on behalf of Yang Mi and herself.

"Thank you to many film and television and brokerage companies in the industry for their optimism and love for Yang Mi. Here we give a unified reply:

In the future, Yang Mi's work will be carried out under the name of "Jiaxing Studio". For all business dealings, please contact the studio. The following is the detailed address and phone number of the studio..."

As soon as it was posted on Weibo, many people in the industry immediately went to check out this studio.

Immediately, the entire film and television industry suddenly realized.

Zeng Jia is the legal representative, and Yang Mi is one of the three shareholders!

Before, only a small number of people speculated that a studio might be opened, but now it has been proven that these few people were right.

Emotional Yang Mi left Shanhai Media just to go it alone and want to be her own boss!

However, there are many favorable and unfavorable voices in the industry and on the Internet.

"Everyone wants to imitate Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhou Xun, but those few have either accumulated works for many years, or have Huayi stocks, and have extensive connections and good timing, so they have successfully promoted themselves to capital, and now they are Multiple identities.

But most actors' studios are struggling, small workshops, and they might as well stay in the original company. "

"Why should Yang Mi be the boss? This studio is broke. If you come out to work alone for the unfettered freedom, then pretend that I didn't tell you."

"Now the salary is constantly rising. With her commercial value, as long as she takes more projects and signs more people to lead her, sooner or later she can make the studio bigger and stronger. When the time comes, it can be upgraded to a company and continue to raise funds..."

…………

The news that Yang Mi opened a studio in partnership with her agent once again made headlines.

At this time, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", which had been released for one month, was officially released.

Media reports began to flood the screen.

"Directed by Zhou Xingchi, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" has been successfully completed, with a total box office revenue of 1.245 billion. Unfortunately, it lost to "囧" and ranked third on the Chinese film box office list."

"Film investors in the mainland market can earn around 500 million in box office share. Huayi will be the biggest beneficiary, enjoying 70%."

The invitation for Huayi to hold a celebration party for the film has been distributed throughout the film and television industry.

A "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the box office split alone allowed Huayi to make back all the losses from the previous movies, and in addition there was a surplus.

This result makes most of the production companies that participated in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival programs and suffered losses, extremely envious.

Although March is not even halfway through, there is only one famous domestic film out there.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures and directed by director Xue Xiaolu, the box office of "Love in Seattle" has reached 540 million, and the daily box office has dropped to about 6 million..."

"Imported films such as "Die Hard 5", "Inside the World" and "The Iron Lady" have all been released."

"Imported blockbusters such as "Resident Evil 5", "Oz and Oz", and "Giant Catcher" will be officially released in mid-to-late term."

Everyone in the film industry can see that with the end of the Spring Festival, it’s time for domestic films to struggle again.

…

Originally, Lin Nan was not planning to go to Hua Yi's celebration party in person, but the film bureau seemed to take it seriously, and many leaders would be present. Maybe it was because the movie was a co-production.

So Lin Nan went for a walk, while Liu Yifei was too lazy to move and was still sleeping.

At a glance, the scene was a lively one.

Third tier, second tier, first tier, small company, big company, different circles have clear boundaries.

Those who keep wandering around with a glass of wine are always the lower-ranking and thoughtful people.

Several state-owned enterprises and large companies in the industry, including Guangguang's Wang Changtian, Bona's Yu Dong, Xingmei's Qin Hong and others, are all here.

These people are not here for Hua Yi's face, but for Zhou Xingchi.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" once again proved that Zhou Xingchi is a box office guarantee. No, Hua Yi is full at once!

"Director Lin."

"Director Lin."

…

Lin Nan nodded in response and walked to Wang Changtian's side.

"You're late, Director Tong has just left."

"Is the salary high enough?"

Lin Nan was surprised and said that he originally thought that there would be at most a few ordinary leaders.

"After all, it is a co-production, and this movie can be used as a banner to promote it."

After saying this, Lin Nan understood. Zhou Xingchi is a Hong Kong filmmaker, but he is different from those die-hards.

"You guys pried the corner of the wall, how's it going?"

"As you said, we were just having normal social interactions." Wang Changtian shook his head repeatedly and denied it.

"I understand, it's impossible to succeed once or twice, haha..." Lin Nan laughed.

While Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting, the actors from the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" crew were also busy brushing their faces. This was a rare opportunity. There were many big companies, big producers and directors present. Woolen cloth.

Lin Nan was not interested in a few actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but there were some actors from the Mainland who were somewhat interesting.

In media reports, Li Lianjie's godson Wen Zhang always looked arrogant, but now he was nodding and bowing, laughing along with him. I also know how to read people's dishes.

"Well, this is probably the most beautiful actress in our crew. The first movie was a movie by Xing Ye."

Huang Bo joked next to Lin Nan and Wang Changtian that since the girls from Hong Kong and Taiwan were not here, he was not afraid of offending anyone.

"Hello, Director Wang, hello Director Lin, I'm Tang Yixin, Brother Bo is joking."

Lin Nan nodded. He didn't think what Huang Bo said was wrong. Those in Hong Kong and Taiwan were really not that good. They were either big talkers or selling their breasts.

Today should be Lin Nan's first face-to-face interaction with Zhou Xingchi.

When the other party said they were looking forward to cooperation, Lin Nan only took it as a polite comment. The chance of cooperation was too small.

However, Zhou Xingchi's vicissitudes of life cannot be compared with Liu Dehua. He seems to be 10 years older than Liu Tianwang.

…………

The celebration party for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is over.

At present, in the domestic film industry, three films have box office exceeding 1 billion.

Everyone is also full of expectations or full of confidence in the fourth 1 billion movie.

Lin Nan discovered that Liu Yifei seemed to have been returning to Hongxingwu frequently in the past two days.

I don’t know if there is another announcement or if a new brand owner has been hired.

That's it, two or three days later.

Yue Jun hurried to the Tiangong color floor, with an expression of...gloating on his face?

"What good happened to you?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

"Hahaha, it's so lively. There's a lot of noise outside. Director Lin, please take a look."

Tiangong Color here is a group of science and engineering men, and they don't care about gossip during working hours. Lin Nan is really a little confused.

He turned on the entertainment information and his eyes widened the next second.

All I saw were enlarged and bold titles on the headlines of the film and television entertainment section.

"Yesterday we had a feast, and today we are going to court - Zhou Xingchi is suing Huayi, asking for 80 million to share the box office split!"

This is really big news in the industry, because both Zhou Xingchi and Hua Yi hold a pivotal position in the film industry.

This time it was done openly and openly.

Zhou Xingchi said it very clearly:

“A few days before New Year’s Eve, we had already negotiated an agreement with Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi.

Once the movie's box office exceeds 500 million, director Zhou Xingchi will receive an additional 80 million box office share. However, Huayi went against his promise and refused to acknowledge the agreement and pay the share. "

Wang Zhonglei also came to the end directly, and he tore off his mask and made naked sarcasm:

"What Mr. Zhou Xingchi said was indeed discussed in the email, but the two parties did not sign a formal contract, so it has no legal effect. We believe the court will make a fair decision."

"In addition, everyone knows that Mr. Zhou Xingchi loves money, but I would also like to remind him: a gentleman should acquire money in a proper way. Don't go crazy thinking about money and talk randomly. This will only humiliate yourself and make others laugh..."

Weibo, Tieba, and various social platforms are all about to explode.

In just one morning, the entire industry, the media, and the Internet were all covered in this matter.

"The question now is whether the court recognizes those emails. It stands to reason that the emails have made it very clear that both parties unanimously accepted the 80 million incentive agreement.

But the problem just happened to be the time. Because of New Year's Eve, the two parties did not sign a paper agreement, so there was no official seal or signature. "

Yue Jun clicked his tongue and sighed, Hua Yi threw Zhou Xingchi's trust under his feet and trampled on him.

"Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Zhang Weiping are really similar. No, they are much more ruthless than Zhang Dapao."

Lin Nan sneered and mocked:

"Seeing profit and forgetting one's righteousness, he is simply decisive! To put it more accurately, it is short-sighted. For 80 million, he completely offended Zhou Xingchi. With Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal, isn't it worth 80 million?

He also verbally criticizes others for loving money. Who doesn’t love money? They don’t? If they don't love it, how can they hack the 80 million? "

Yue Jun nodded, that was indeed the case.

"This lawsuit is simple and clear to say. It just depends on whether those emails count. The result is expected to be out in a few days."

…………

Many production companies in the industry are very excited. A few days ago, they were still thinking about how to gain leverage.

No, Huayi himself is giving everyone a chance!

"When doing business with light, it is always a matter of spitting and nailing. If you say it out loud, it will be like water thrown out..."

"So far, Bona has never treated its partners harshly. We look forward to cooperating with Xingye."

Yu Dong is also shameless. He seems to have forgotten to postpone the box office split for the new picture, and he has postponed it for a month or two.

"Xingmei looks forward to cooperating with Director Zhou Xingchi in the future..."

The Internet is overwhelmingly criticizing Hua Yi, but morality and law are sometimes really at odds with each other.

…………

Liu Yifei finally waited until Lin Nan came back, with a sad look on her face, which was another kind of beauty.

"You're back, you're giving me a headache."

When Lin Nan looked at her, she really felt like Lin Daiyu.

"I don't know how to treat illnesses. I have a headache. Did Auntie scold you again?"

Lin Nan joked. After Liu Xiaoli criticized Liu Yifei before, the latter was like this, listless.

Earlier, when she was still at school, she would secretly call Lin Nan and complain about her mother.

"That's not true. I got a script, and I thought it was okay, but people in the company advised me not to vote for it."

"Looking for you to act? What movie?"

Lin Nan asked with a smile, sitting next to Liu Yifei, a little curious.

"It's not acting. Xie Nan asked me to invest in it. I've been researching it myself for a few days, but now I'm in trouble and have a headache."

Liu Yifei moved her buttocks, found a comfortable position, and leaned against Lin Nan.

"Hey, she also wants to be a director, not a host?"

Lin Nan didn't think much and complained subconsciously.

"No. Oh, I'll bring the script and you'll know after you read it."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei got up and went back to another villa to get the script.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Nan said with a smile.
