That year Huayu

Following the official conclusion of Blueberry Channel, the first season of "Running Man" has also concluded successfully on Tudou.

As one of the top three popular variety shows of the year, it is also the number one reality show in China.

Its popularity and topic volume exploded again on the day the webcast ended, directly dominating the entertainment headlines and hot searches.

The calls from countless viewers and netizens for the second season can simply be described as overwhelming and passionate.

Seven permanent guests and a few flying guests also topped the trending search list, making it even more popular.

Throughout the first season, their number of fans, commercial value, announcements and endorsements have all increased steadily, making them the envy of many artists in the industry.

At the same time, both the advertisers in the first season and other brands with ideas have also taken action.

The purpose is very clear, that is, to find out clearly the launch time and investment plan of the second season of "Running Man" so as to be ready to participate in the bidding at any time.

"According to informed sources, the large-scale outdoor reality show "Running Man" controlled by Lin Nan Pictures may have one of its regular guests leave the show and miss the second season."

"Among the seven permanent guests, the information about those who have left the team is unknown and needs to be further disclosed by the producer..."

"The phenomenal hit variety show "Running Man", its permanent guest candidates are bound to be competed by many celebrities in the film and television and entertainment circles!"

…

There really are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

It had only been a few days before the news about Wang Baoqiang's departure from "Running Man" leaked out. Fortunately, it only spread a little bit.

But even so, yesterday's entertainment hot spot of the Tang Dynasty's first sister getting married was suppressed by this incident, and the hot search ranking can only be temporarily ranked below it.

And indeed, as the entertainment news said, the circle suddenly became lively.

A large number of actors, celebrities and entertainers, as well as their companies, are paying attention to the permanent guest spot vacated by "Running Man".

Because this has been verified through the first season, the top resources in the industry, the big cake! No artist can remain tempted and cannot resist this temptation!

"Someone really gave up? Who left?"

On the set of the movie "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", during the break, Yang Ying sat next to Huang Xiaoming with a look of surprise on his face.

Everyone around, whether they were actors or staff, could basically hear a hint of something strange in her tone.

"Have you been there when the baby was in the first season of "Running Man"?" Yang Mi raised her head and asked.

"She has been to two episodes, and her number of fans has increased a lot."

"Yeah, it's fun." Yang Ying agreed.

Leader Huang smiled and nodded. How could he not understand the meaning of his girlfriend's words? It's just that I want him to inquire about the news.

"Even if someone leaves and misses the second season, it won't be Reba. Don't even think about the female artists in the industry."

"Why?"

Yang Ying refuted Huang Xiaoming, what if?

"Because this is a shortcut to promotion to the front line. All it takes is time, and Reba is still not ready yet. Director Lin will not allow her to go astray."

Yang Mi explained aloud, and then remembered the slap in the face that Zeng Jia had vowed to say.

She couldn't help feeling that capital was really good. All she had to do to win over people was to use resources! No shortcut? Then create shortcuts!

Yang Ying frowned subconsciously, she was still holding on to a sense of luck.

"Mimi is right, that's the truth, don't think too much about it.

Each of the four artists in Director Lin's company will have a paved road to the front line, and Reba's road is "Running Man"! "

Huang Xiaoming is worthy of being a figure who has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has successfully promoted his capital. He hit the nail on the head and was very confident.

"What about me?"

"As I said before, I can be a flying guest a few more times."

"Then it's up to you."

Yang Mi looked at Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming chatting with each other, feeling a little "disgusted".

To be honest, she really doesn't like Yang Ying. If it weren't for Huang Xiaoming's help, Yang Ying would have no chance of being a second-tier star, let alone a minor star.

Anyway, she can't count on others. In her understanding, her career must depend on herself! Others are just others after all!

…………

Near noon, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei came out of the cinema.

As the final film in the series, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" gives people a very good viewing experience.

In particular, the magnificent war scenes coupled with a large number of CG special effects made all the audience's eyes shine. The ticket price of 100 yuan is not a waste at all!

The two found a restaurant, Liu Yifei was ordering food, while Lin Nan was looking through missed calls and text messages.

"Switching off your phone while watching a movie is indeed a wise thing to do, these people."

"What's wrong?" Miss Liu asked doubtfully.

"There were 12 missed calls and 8 text messages, of which Director Wang accounted for about one-third."

Lin Nan browsed the news on the Internet and already knew the reason.

"I only have a missed call from Xie Nan. Wu Gan is about to start promoting "Wolf Warrior"."

Liu Yifei nodded and said, as investors in "Wolf Warrior", Wu Dan and his wife would definitely say hello to her.

"Yeah, it really doesn't stop, here it comes again!"

The phone buzzed, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Liu Yifei joked: "I won't give up until Director Wang gets through your call."

At this time, the waiter was ready to serve the food.

Lin Nan thought for a while, then hung up the phone and sent a text message back.

"Let's have lunch first. As for what he wants to do with me, you don't have to think about it. It's just a joke!"

"Yeah, let's start."

…

light.

Wang Changtian looked at the text message he had just received, feeling helpless.

He just wants to put Bao Bei'er into "Running Man", why is it so difficult?

According to the estimates of the company team, once Bao Beier becomes a permanent resident in "Running Man", it will definitely become popular in the future.

The previous resident guests were already full, and Lin Nan wouldn’t let go, so of course there was no way.

But things are different now. There is a fool who has taken the initiative to quit. Shouldn't we seize this good opportunity of pie-in-the-sky? !

On the other side, the official account of Lin Nan Pictures was also in a mess.

Fans of many celebrities and artists in the circle have a melee here.

Some people recommend their own idols, some people bully other celebrities, and some people directly criticize them. There is a lot of chaos.

So much so that Yue Jun directly closed the comment function, and then everything became completely quiet.

Several days have passed, and the "Running Man" incident is still the focus of attention in the industry, but no new news has leaked out.

Lin Nan also stayed at home for several days, because there were always media reporters staying at the company.

According to the plan, the investment promotion for the second season of "Running Man" will be carried out in February, and new candidates will also be determined in February. Yue Jun will be responsible for these.

As for Lin Nan, she will negotiate with Wang Changtian about cooperating for the second season at the end of February, after the Oscars.

After all, he couldn't do things like tearing down mills and killing donkeys, crossing rivers and tearing down bridges. However, he was not prepared to continue to give 30% of the Rays' investment share, so it had to be reduced.

Because the team of Lin Nan Pictures can almost hold the situation on its own.

If the people from South Korea are left to consolidate for the second season, the company's team will be completely mature.

Even though we have a good relationship, we can’t be prostituted for nothing, right? Therefore, the investment share given to Ray must be reduced a bit.

On the 27th, Huayi Annual Meeting and General Meeting of Shareholders.

In the eyes of colleagues in the industry, Huayi is really a thief.

Every time, the annual meeting and the general meeting of shareholders are put together. When they are superimposed on each other, the popularity of public opinion suddenly rises.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan did not choose a suit and leather shoes, but a bottoming shirt and a down jacket directly outside.

The weather was so cold and snowing, so he wouldn't suffer for the sake of his face and grace, and he wouldn't be under the heating and air conditioning all the time.

"Why don't you wear what I bought for you?"

Liu Yifei, dressed in warm home clothes, folded her hands on her chest, frowned and asked coldly, startling Lin Nan.

"Well, this down jacket is the same."

"Since it's the same, then wear that one? I think you look good in it."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei turned around and ran to the cloakroom, bringing Lin Nan's clothes in less than half a minute.

"Here, this one." She looked at Lin Nan with a joking smile on her face.

"I'm really speechless."

What can Director Lin do? You can only accept it silently.

"Don't be too dissatisfied with this or that. The color is so good. It's much prettier than the one you bought... I'll help you..."

After a while, Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan covered in clothes and shoes she bought, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yeah, very good!"

"There are indeed many female artists at Huayi's annual party. But no matter what I wear, I should be very conspicuous. What do you mean, Producer Liu?"

Well, Lin Nan saw what he was thinking.

Liu Yifei didn't hide it either, "But you still have to be careful, don't be like Director Ning..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately became happy, "You know everything?"

"Yeah, that sister said that there are no good people over there! I wonder, isn't this something everyone in the industry knows? Hehe..."

Miss Liu was smiling brightly, she must be laughing at Ning Hao.

"Okay, I'm leaving. After all, the expenses for our wedding have to come from Hua Yi! I have to see how much I can get for the last time today, hehehe..."

"Yeah, come back soon."

…

As the listed company with the highest market value in the domestic film and television industry, Huayi's market value has nearly doubled, especially last year, with the full bloom of real estate and financial projects.

It is not an exaggeration to use "whale" to describe the giant ship Huayi. Therefore, this general meeting of shareholders and annual meeting is also the focus of the industry.

At a quarter past ten o'clock, Lin Nan arrived at the venue of Huayi's shareholders' meeting.

It is said that it is an annual meeting and a general meeting of shareholders, but it is actually no different from a grand party.

Because Lin Nan saw Jackie Chan, Xu Ke, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and others from a distance. These are all insiders with their own companies or studios.

In addition, there are actors from other film and television companies, such as Li Yifeng, Jiang Wenli... and others in the Beijing circle, Xu Jinglei, Guan Ru...

Of course, the most conspicuous ones are those from the Huayi family, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, Zhang Guoli, Gu Changwei...

"Director Lin, please come in quickly."

"Hey, Director Lin has been back from Hollywood for almost half a month. Today I have to congratulate him on the Golden Globe Award for Best Director!" Jackie Chan hugged him as soon as he came up.

"Brother, are you a little late?"

"Lin Nan, congratulations."

"Thank you, Director Gu."

…

Saying hello, talking and laughing one after another.

Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hui, who were in the distance, glanced here and pretended not to notice, and continued socializing.

"I heard that Director Xu introduced that you could have made a guest appearance in "Mermaid", but I guess it was our director Lin who didn't nod, so, haha."

Feng Xiaogang made a sudden joke, causing the people around him to subconsciously look in Lin Nan's direction.

"But don't be discouraged. Our "Old Paoer" is no worse than Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid". It's just a cameo. I don't know if the investment of 300 million can be repaid. It's not Zhou Xingchi himself..."

"Why don't you go say hello?" Xu Jinglei said.

…

Lin Nan attended Huayi's shareholders' meetings only a few times, but every time he got the same feeling: a mixed bag.

After just half an hour of chatting with acquaintances, a large group of Huayi artists with their own ulterior motives wandered over intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Nan was not going to give him a good look, it was annoying.

However, he sincerely "admired" Wang Zhonglei's operation and actually asked his 17-year-old daughter to pour wine for everyone. Was this to pave the way in advance? To train celebrities or to take over?

"Director Lin, let me introduce to you, this is the most popular young artist in the country right now..."

Xu Jinglei was a little disgusting. She held Wu Yifan's hand and ran over to say hello. Wang Shuo was still chatting there. It was really confusing...

…………

At this Huayi shareholders' meeting, Lin Nan was looking forward to the content of the second king's speech.

Well, it’s just like the expectation for Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen’s Spring Festival Gala sketches in the past, purely for the sake of watching “jokes”.

Sure enough, here's the whole story: Real estate is very profitable, financial project income has doubled, and game development has a lot of revenue...

The most basic film and television business was covered in just one sentence: Yu Huayi's revenue share continued to decrease, falling to less than 5%.

At the end of his speech, Wang Zhongjun added the last sentence: "It is expected that within this year, the group will completely cut off the artist management business."

The subtext of this sentence is: Artists who have a direct management contract with the group and it is about to expire, please find a new one as soon as possible! If the direct brokerage contract has more than one year left, it’s time to talk about terminating the contract!

Lin Nan sighed again, these two brothers have gone completely crazy. I was so excited by the market value of 70 billion that I went crazy!

…

"1.02 million shares? 1.55 million in cash?"

When Lin Nan got the details of his dividends, he was still a little unresponsive.

Huayi issued a lot of additional shares last year. He thought all of them would be distributed as dividends in the form of additional shares, but he didn't expect that there would still be some cash? !

"Director Lin, if I had known better, I shouldn't have sold the stock so early."

Huang Xiaoming came over and joked.

"If you hadn't sold it so early, you might just be an actor now." Lin Nan joked with a smile.

Huang Xiaoming's ability to increase capital relied on Huayi's stock.

He initially bought 1.8 million shares, then acquired another 1.8 million shares, and finally sold them all. With hundreds of millions of funds, he has successfully developed into a capital in the industry.

"Hahaha, that's right."

"Director Lin, what I promised before is still valid. If you want to change hands, you can contact me."

Wang Zhonglei suddenly ran over and said to Lin Nan. Huang Xiaoming was a little confused.

Lin Nan thought for a moment and replied "sincerely":

"I'm waiting for 60 yuan. When Huayi's stock price reaches 60 yuan, I will clear it all at once. Of course, if Mr. Wang is willing to take over for 60 yuan, we can cooperate now."

Lin Nan's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and seven or eight people around him heard it, and all looked at Lin Nan in astonishment.

Wang Zhonglei's mouth trembled slightly, "Haha, Director Lin, today's stock price is only 57 yuan!"

"Then just wait. Director Wang spoke so excitedly on stage just now. He is obviously full of confidence in Huayi's future. Unfortunately, I am too!"

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck. This sentence is enough to describe Wang Zhonglei who is leaving at this moment.

Huang Xiaoming opened his mouth and smiled helplessly: "Director Lin, you are the only one who dares to talk to Mr. Wang like this."

"What are you afraid of? He can still eat me?"

Lin Nan's calm look left Master Huang speechless, as did many people around him, because Lin Nan was indeed qualified to say such things!
