That year Huayu

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

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

In the open letter, she was stern, full of grief and indignation, and reported in real name the bad behavior of plagiarizing several of her works, and gave all the examples.

She implored the General Administration to stop broadcasting, remove, and ban the latter's TV series, and made it clear that she would prosecute Yu Zheng.

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

This person had obviously been mentally prepared a long time ago.

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

He said that those plot points were all coincidences and misunderstandings, and the "plagiarism theory" was malicious hype and instigation to smear the film by some media and netizens.

In the script he wrote, there are only tributes and references to Qiong Yao, and there is never plagiarism!

Yu Zheng obviously underestimated Qiong Yao's determination this time. The latter did not want to settle the matter at all, and his company's reply only had three words: See you in court.

Ninety-nine percent of netizens on the Internet support Qiong Yao, and a large number of screenwriters in the industry expressed their opposition to Yu Zheng.

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

He also bluntly said that as long as he copied no more than 20% of the content, it would be fine. For example, if he copied 20 episodes of the other party, he could expand the series to 100 episodes. In this case, even the court would not be able to pursue him! "

This kind of operation routine is an eye-opener for netizens.

Netizens with good intentions even "translated" Yu Zheng's long article that showed weakness on the surface but was actually shouting. The meaning was very shameless:

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

Second, you already knew that I was plagiarizing but never stopped it, so I was not wrong.

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

…

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

In the past, no screenwriter dared to take on the role of Zheng Laodie, or in other words, no one had ever succeeded. It was because it could make money, praise people, and was "covered" by the market and capital.

But things are different now. Senior figures in the screenwriting industry have taken the lead, and the entire industry has begun to denounce the evidence.

“I heard that Qiong Yao’s attitude was very resolute. They wrote an open letter and then formally filed a lawsuit in the capital.

However, Yu Zheng is not idle either. He is probably spending money on public relations. Posts on the Internet and Weibo to whitewash him are appearing and increasing in spurts. "

With the color of nature, Lin Nan was reading the message from Wang Wei while listening to Yue Jun's gossip.

There were many actors who supported Qiong Yao, but none of them supported Yu Zheng, including the actors he had made famous, and none of them dared to say anything.

Yu Zheng Studio's "The Palace", which aired less than a week ago, was the direct trigger and angered the old lady.

But unfortunately, Tudou bought the exclusive web broadcast rights of this drama, and the number of hits was very popular.

According to Wang Wei, Tudou has received a unilateral notice from Qiongyao Company, requesting that the show be removed from the shelves, but he is not prepared to pay attention to it. He will wait until the lawsuit is over and the court rules. .

Guangguang and Wanda both supported Wang Wei's approach, and Lin Nan replied to the message and chose to second the proposal. After all, Mango Channel is still playing 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's already mid-April, and he needs to complete the post-production trimming within two months at the latest.

This will give Crystal Pictures more than half a month to promote and screen, so that they can register for Oscars and other awards in early July.

In addition, Jiang Yuerou's TV drama team is also ready. "Flower Thousand Bones" will be officially launched in Hengdian at the end of the month.

…………

"Co-produced by Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Director Ning Hao, and supervised by Director Lin Nan, the movie "Beautiful Heart" is officially scheduled to be released on September 30, locking in the National Day schedule."

Another movie with a big director and a big cast is scheduled to be released, and it’s also a comedy!

Many in the production industry are eyeing the producers of National Day movies, and now they are in trouble.

The guys are even starting to think about whether to change the schedule to avoid "Heart Blossoms"?

Right now, the May Day shift is about to begin.

Promotion of three domestic films: "Rebirth: The Frozen Door", "My Deskmate" and "The Hypnotist". It has reached a fever pitch.

And "Return", released in mid-May, was shortlisted for the Cannes International Film Festival today, amplifying the publicity effect more than tenfold.

Just like the name of the movie, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li "return" with "Return"!

However, when it comes to publicity effect and attention, "The Invisible Guest" still holds the top spot.

Lin Nan's movie won the first Oscar trophy for mainland China. This gimmick is extremely resounding.

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 he has started to produce a film and television project?

After he turned on the news, he was stunned within ten seconds and was shocked.

The wealthy Alibaba has finally begun to subvert the traditional views of the film and television industry after acquiring Cultural China, a listed company, and entering the film and television industry!

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

This business is well promoted:

"With a minimum investment of 100 yuan, netizens can invest in popular film and TV series projects in the industry, provide production funds and participate in dividends, with annualized returns starting at 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, within their reach. Ordinary people can also be investors in movies and TV series!

A large number of netizens have left messages and suggested that Alibaba should talk to major directors such as Lin Nan, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Xu Ke, etc. As long as their film projects are launched, they will invest even if they sell the pot.

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 don’t know that this industry is a high-risk industry, especially movies, which are the highest risks among high risks!

Why can Alibaba guarantee an annual growth rate of 7%? This feels wrong, completely off track...

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

There is never a shortage of investment for the projects of great directors, they are the ones who choose the investors!

In the eyes of traditional film and television circles, "entertainment treasures" are a bit scary to think about!

"Good guy, what a good guy, how dare you play like this!"

Lin Nan was scrolling through the news and couldn't help but marvel. Ali's operations were really amazing and he was so courageous.

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

Liu Yifei walked down from the second floor wearing home clothes and cute slippers.

She had just taken a shower and dried her hair. She looked extremely pink, and 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, very seriously.

Miss Liu sat down next to Lin Nan. She didn't know which smell of body fragrance or shower gel had the upper hand. It was light and charming.

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

"Yes, Internet companies have many tricks. This is not crowdfunding to make a movie. This is..."

Halfway through his words, Lin Nan stopped abruptly.

"The company's movies don't need crowdfunding, so why are you worrying so much?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and smiled at Lin Nan.

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

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

"You just slept until the afternoon. I got up at 11 noon. It's just that Xie Nan and the others asked me to go out to eat and take a stroll in the evening."

Well, women always have to tidy up before going out, but it seems that the most Liu Yifei can do is take a shower and then go out without makeup.

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

"Ok, I know."

…

The next day, heavenly colors.

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

From the outside, I heard that Bona has launched another film, "The Sword of the Third Young Master", directed by Hong Kong director Ye Dongsheng. This is also a show-off.

It's still a joke that he won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director with "Mongkok Nights", beating Stephen Chow Sing-chi's "Kung Fu".

But what worries Lin Nan even more is that "The Ordinary World" seems to be open for exploration, which means that it is not far from completion.

Lin Nan liked the original work of this novel very much and once asked Yue Jun to ask about it.

But unfortunately, the film and television rights were bought by China Television Pictures, which did not agree to transfer them, so they had to give up in the end.

"Director Lin, someone is here from Ali."

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

"Director Yue is in the company?"

"exist."

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

Lin Nan gave the order directly. He was too lazy to deal with Ali's people. They were all talking like cross talk, which was completely false and very arrogant.

"OK."

…

Just after 11 a.m., Yue Jun came to see Lin Nan.

"It must be nothing good, right?"

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

"After buying it back, you put it in the 'Entertainment Treasure'?"

Lin Nan looked disdainful, asking questions and answering questions.

"I guess they are close to each other. Today are the senior executives of Alibaba Culture China. I heard from him that they will contact the big directors in the industry one by one.

We strive to get at least 50% of the new movies launched in the industry, especially blockbusters, through Entertainment Bao. Tsk tsk tsk, listen to this tone, you are going to enter the unified market! Ha ha……"

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

"Then what did you say?"

“Lin Nan Pictures has sufficient funds and has fixed partners from the upstream of the production industry to the downstream of theaters and even peripherals and online platforms, and no link is weak.

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

Yue Jun laughed while talking, and many Tiangong 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 late 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% 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..."

…
