That year Huayu

Chapter 678: Guaranteed Trend, Warning

Ning Hao is a very cool person. When he landed at the Capital Airport in the morning, when faced with questions from media reporters, he directly told him everything he knew.

The news spread quickly inside and outside the circle, and the Internet was full of news that "Heart Blossoms" was a big seller at the Venice Film Festival Film Trade Show.

The purpose of building publicity for the film's release was naturally achieved.

"Co-produced by Bad Monkey and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Ning Hao and produced by Lin Nan, the copyright of the movie "Beautiful Heart" sold well at the Venice Film Festival!"

"According to Director Ning Hao, the film copyright transaction amounted to US$21.58 million, of which nearly half was for director Lin Nan!"

"The investment cost of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" is 50 million, and it has achieved net profit. The film will be the most popular film in the National Day holiday this year!"

Lin Nan never expected that Ning Hao would actually pull him out for publicity.

Although many film producers are indeed interested in his name, if they do this, Lin Nan will be in trouble in the future.

If acquaintances and friends in the industry asked him to take on the title of producer, would he refuse or agree?

"It's really rare! Not long after I returned to the company, Huayi, Guangguang, Bona, and Wanda all came to find me. Guess what?"

After answering Ning Hao's call, before Lin Nan could start complaining, the person on the other end started nagging him.

"Why, are you looking for a guaranteed release?"

"Oh, I'll go, you guessed this!"

Lin Nan smiled silently, and he just said it casually. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right.

However, it is also reasonable. "Heart Blossom Road Release" meets all the basic conditions for guaranteed release:

The producer, director, producer, screenwriter, and core starring actors are all top-notch lineups, and they also sold a lot of copyrights!

"The film market changes every year, and guaranteed distribution will become a popular trend in the industry. Of course, if producers and directors are absolutely confident, then they will make a bet;

If you don't have absolute confidence, just negotiate a high price for the guaranteed issuance. This will be safe and make some money, and transfer the risk to the issuer. "

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask about the prices offered by those companies to Ning Hao.

"I get angry when I talk about this! Just because the box office of my last movie was only 260 million, while Jiang Wen's was 700 million. In addition, the cost of "Heart Blossom Road" was only one-sixth of the cost of "One Step Away" One, so the guaranteed box office price they gave me is far lower than Jiang Wengao?"

Ignoring Ning Hao's aggrieved expression, Lin Nan urged with a smile: "Tell me quickly, how much?"

"Enray is willing to guarantee a box office release of 600 million, Bona 650 million, Wanda and Huayi both 700 million, and none of the others exceed 700 million.

If we agree and choose 700 million, we will be able to get the studio’s share of the box office corresponding to the box office in the next few days! "Ning Haoyan said concisely and comprehensively.

"No need to talk? I'm thinking that if the box office is guaranteed to be more than one billion, and we take 43% to exit early, then it's still okay. Haha..."

"You want to eat shit! I want 1 billion, but they all refused."

"What about betting?" Lin Nan asked with a chuckle.

"Your uncle is mocking me, right? I'm not qualified for your kind of gambling; I'm not willing to do the other two types of gambling, the risks are too great!"

Lin Nan could tell that Ning Hao still longed for his gambling method, but the theaters ignored him; as for the guarantee, he thought the prices offered by several distributors were low.

"Then just reject them and "Heart Blossom Road" will be released as normal.

That's how much money you should split. This way, your filmmaker's mentality will not be affected by making more or less money as a result of the final guaranteed release. "

Lin Nan suggested. Although he has half of the investment in "Heart Blossom Road", the main controller is Ning Hao, and the one who calls the shots is also Bad Monkey.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and he said seriously: "Well, it's up to you. I'll go back and inform them that they won't accept guaranteed box office distribution.

This time I will see if I can reach 1 billion! You predicted before that I could rise to several levels, so don’t slap me in the face at the end, haha..."

…………

In August, it was over.

In the morning, when Lin Nan was still dreaming, the headlines about him had already appeared in the most conspicuous position in the film and television information section.

The hot searches on Weibo are even more impressive, and he is the first one.

"At five o'clock in the morning, the official website of the Film School announced the list of new faculty members for the 2014-2015 academic year. Director Lin Nan is on the list, ranking first in the public document!"

"The documents show that Director Lin Nan is on-the-job with the Film School and has the title of associate professor and will participate in teaching work."

"Nortel's official WeChat post welcomes Lin Nan back to the Film School, and welcomes art candidates to actively sign up for the Nortel Level 15 Art Examination. Professor Lin Nan will officially teach next year."

Although the film and television industry has known about this for a long time, everyone was still a little surprised when they actually saw the news announced by Nortel.

For schools such as China National Theater, Shanghai Opera, and Beijing Dance Theatre, Nortel's current operations are a bit unethical.

They actually directly used Lin Nan as a recruitment advertisement, and it cannot be denied that this advertisement is indeed very confusing!

At this moment, the most excited people online are the film school students, followed by countless freshmen who are eager to take the 15-year art exam. Lin Nan returned to Nortel to teach. Isn't this a "resource"?

Congratulatory text messages and Weibo messages from people in the circle came in droves, and there was also an endless stream of people joking and joking. Lin Nan, on the other hand, was still sleeping - too tired.

"Refused?"

"The reply from Bad Monkey is that "Heart Blossom Road" will be released normally, and there will be no bets or guaranteed box office distribution. This is what Director Ning and Director Lin want to discuss."

This scene happened almost simultaneously in Huayi, Bona, Wanda and Guangguang.

"It seems they have some confidence, so forget it. What do you care about that?"

"The script has been sent for review."

"Then let's officially announce it to the outside world and start casting the project."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

It was around nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock when Lin Nan lazily got up. Miss Liu rarely got up earlier.

Liu Xiaoli is a frequent visitor to the theater and has already gone out, but she also left breakfast for her daughter and son-in-law before going out.

As soon as Lin Nan entered the door, he saw Liu Yifei holding a spoon and slowly eating the white fungus porridge in front of her. She also held a mobile phone in her other hand, wondering who she was chatting with.

"Come and take a look, they are all messages to congratulate you. I am replying to them one by one, Professor Lin."

After hearing this, Lin Nan realized that it was Nortel that had issued the publicity document.

"Oops, opening ceremony?"

The next second, Lin Nan exclaimed, he was going to give a speech.

"Did you sleep? It doesn't start until the afternoon."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said something with a smile.

Lin Nan patted his forehead, sat next to Liu Yifei, and joked: "Sissi, I have to exercise restraint these two days, it's affecting my memory."

"I'm going to die, haha..."

Liu Yifei rushed forward with all her teeth and claws, preparing to suppress them with force.

In the morning, "One Life to Live" co-produced by Yinghuang and Wanda held its premiere in Beijing.

Although Lin Nan received the invitation, he was too lazy to participate and went to the company instead.

"Tomorrow several star TV stations will go to Guangguang to watch the first few episodes of "Running Man". Regarding the negotiations and bidding, you will go there and follow on behalf of the company."

This reality show is a key project of the company, so it is just right for Yue Jun to watch it.

"No problem. The change procedures at Shiyue Culture can be completely completed in these two days, and everything in "The Secret of the Dragon" is also going well. I just have some free time."

While talking, a call suddenly came in. Lin Nan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was from Happy Twist.

"Director Lin, I'm going out first." Yue Jun said hello with a smile and left immediately.

Lin Nan nodded and answered the phone, "Director Yan, what's the matter?"

"Director Lin, I have told you so many times, you should just call me by my name, haha.

That’s what’s going on, let me tell you, “Charlotte Trouble” is about to be finished. "

"It's pretty fast. It's only one week away from reaching two months."

"This is because I am not familiar with it when I make a movie for the first time. In the future, the efficiency will definitely become higher and higher..."

The meaning of Yan Fei's phone call is very simple.

They were going to hold a final press conference and a final banquet, but unfortunately, Lin Nan didn't have time to go because the location was still in Dalian.

However, he promised that he could ask Tiangong Color for help in post-production, and if there were any problems with the finished film being submitted for review, he could be contacted.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, when Lin Nan arrived at Nortel, she heard Jiang Wen's gossip.

I don't know if this guy is overconfident or just a little "got carried away".

I heard that at the press conference of "One Step Away" this morning, he told the media in a high-profile manner that he would recommend himself to the General Administration and let "One Step Away" represent the mainland in this year's Oscar competition for the Best Foreign Language Film Award.

Moreover, Director Jiang also made bold statements, saying that if he didn’t go, who else would be qualified this year?

Regardless of whether he can succeed in self-recommendation or not, Jiang Wen is stealing the show right now.

Lin Nan was a little embarrassed to hear "Professor Lin" and "Teacher Lin" one after another, but he couldn't help but let these students call him, right?

At half past two, the opening ceremony started on time.

Lin Nan originally thought that there were only freshmen, but when he followed Lao Jiang and others to the outdoor scene, he discovered that many sophomores, juniors, and seniors had come to join in the fun.

"Look, they're all here for you. Even those famous people are back."

Lin Nan took a quick glance and saw some familiar faces.

"Who does this new student represent? He shouldn't be a child star, right?"

Looking at the freshman who spoke in front of him, Lin Nan asked curiously. He knew that most of the former freshmen representatives were child stars.

"Asking knowingly...he's not a child star, he must be related." Lao Jiang complained.

"...Now I would like to invite Professor Lin Nan, an outstanding alumnus of the Academy's Directing Department and an internationally renowned director..."

"Your uncle, you won't go off-script and act on the spot again, right?"

Seeing Lin Nan standing up carelessly with empty hands, Lao Jiang shouted in a low voice, he was afraid of being cheated!

"Don't worry, it's definitely positive energy."

Lin Nan walked to the microphone and shook hands with the school leaders.

"I am very happy to return to my alma mater to teach. Everyone should know that when I was at school, I spent three days fishing and two days drying nets..."

Thousands of students at the scene burst into laughter. A group of leaders and professors behind Lin Nan were also very happy. Only Lao Jiang covered his face. It was so embarrassing.

"...Teachers Zhou, Teacher Jiang, and my mentor Professor Tian Zhuangzhuang can all testify that I am usually busy working on movies outside... The Silver Bear Award for Best Director and the Golden Lion Award for Best Film are all in school. Got it during the period!”

"Director Lin, you are still busy dating! Liu Yifei fell in love prematurely!"

Some senior students from the art department cheered and shouted, and the scene burst into laughter again.

"Well, yes, that's right." Lin Nan admitted with a smile.

“I don’t have any fancy experiences to share with you, but I can talk about things in this industry to give you a warning in advance.”

Lin Nan's tone was a little serious, and the place became quiet.

"The film and television industry and the entertainment industry are full of temptations. If you graduate from Nortel, you will not be unable to find a job. Even if you do poorly, you will be much better than ordinary white-collar workers.

If you are in the acting department, you will start as a small supporting role or as a special guest. This is the circle and your advantage. The professionals behind the scenes are what major film and television companies are competing for..."

“But one thing I can sincerely warn you is that there are many temptations in this industry; professional skills are important, but character is more important, and compliance with laws and regulations is the most important.

The General Administration is holding a meeting in front of us to deal with bad actors. So here today, I sincerely warn everyone, especially those in the acting department and those who want to be actors after taking the exam to save the country:

Don’t engage in marital infidelity, don’t engage in prostitution, don’t get involved in drugs, don’t get carried away... In the era of high pay, after you become popular, you must remember not to evade taxes... This is a dead end..."

After Lin Nan finished speaking, the leaders took the lead in applauding, followed by the audience.

As for whether these students would remember the most important things Lin Nan said at the end, that was not his concern.

"Okay, most of them haven't even entered the industry yet, so you scare them with a ban!" Lao Jiang smacked his lips and sighed.

The opening ceremony was still going on, and Lin Nan slipped out of the backstage early.

But before he could go far, he was stopped by a voice.

Lin Nan looked back and saw an unexpected figure.

"Zhou Dongyu, what's the matter?"

The one who chased me was looking for a girl.

"Hello, Director Lin, oh no, hello, Teacher Lin."

Lin Nan was a little curious. What did Zhou Dongyu want to do with him?

"Just tell me if you have anything to say. I'm getting ready to go home in a hurry."

"Teacher Lin, I would like to know if Shanhai Media is still signing people?" Zhou Dongyu asked with a sincere smile.

However, in Lin Nan's opinion, the girl Zhang Yimou selected over the past four years is now quite thoughtful.

Under that harmless smile, he was already filled with utilitarianism.

Lin Nan asked with interest, "I remember you are an artist from Shiba Culture? Your contract has not expired, right?"

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Zhou Dongyu thought he had a chance and quickly replied: "It's been less than a year..."

At this moment, Lin Nan felt a little sympathy for Wang Jinghua. She had raised her for more than two years and couldn't keep her!

After sizing up Zhou Dongyu again, he had to admit that she was a very scheming girl. She only signed with Wang Jinghua for three years, but she wanted to run away and find a new home ten months or nearly a year in advance!

Logically speaking, Wang Jinghua treated her well, but he might not be able to give her what she wanted. He is ambitious!

"Sorry, I have to make it clear to you that Shanhai Media will not sign any more people in the future."

Hearing what Lin Nan said, Zhou Dongyu was stunned, but he reacted quickly.

"Then you're disturbing Teacher Lin. Just pretend you didn't see me today?"

Of course Lin Nan understood the meaning of these words.

This is another Zhang Ziyi-like character. No wonder he dared to say before that she was no worse than Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.

"Well, I won't tell Mr. Wang."

"Thank you, Teacher Lin."
