Chapter 213 Investment Lu Yang, Xiao Ma
In the New Year holiday, "Ip Man" is not a rival to "If You Are the One".
After the box office was stumbled to 120 million, it was completely shut down and announced that it would be released.
In contrast, "If You Are the One" exceeded 100 million in five days, and made rapid progress...
Ying Huang is already very satisfied with this. For a long time, the movies he made were not as profitable as this one.
"Director Lin, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and prepare for the sequel?" Yang Shoucheng said on the phone.
“With the first film laying the foundation, the sequel will bring its own fans and fans.
The quality of your shooting and production cannot be worse than the first one," Lin Nan reminded.
This is what Yang Shoucheng wants.
"Don't worry, Director Lin, the sequel will be better than the first one in terms of teamwork and production. What script?"
"I have arranged it to get your people to my company."
A few hours later, Ying Huang announced the sequel plan for "Ip Man" to the outside world.
"Is the phone still not available?" Donnie Yen asked his agent.
"Mani has been busy all the time. Logically speaking, he will find us as soon as possible when he starts a sequel. After all, you are the protagonist..."
When the agent said this, he was a little guilty.
Even in a series, it is common to change the protagonist.
Donnie Yen frowned. He had just stepped into the ranks of first-tier stars with one foot, and the sequel was very important to him.
"We'll go find Mr. Yang in person and be soft-hearted?"
Donnie Yen went to see Lin Nan first, and he was indeed rash.
These days have been beaten intentionally or unintentionally, and now they are also hitting.
"Well, let's go now." Donnie Yen nodded and said.
…………
In such a huge film and television industry, the Beidian Circle is definitely a big mountain divided by school.
Since the news that Lin Nan was willing to invest in Cao Baoping came out of the last time in "Li Mi's Conjecture" and the news that he was willing to invest in Cao Baoping, the eyes of the teachers in the academy looked at him even more complicated.
Today, Lao Jiang came to Lin Nan and talked about investment.
"Instructor Jiang, don't you want to make movies too, right?"
"Me? I didn't have that idea for a short time.
I am a senior you, a graduate student in the 2004-grade director department. I am older than you. When I come back to find investment, they think of you."
"How many movies have you made? What are your masterpieces?"
If a senior film and television practitioner like Cao Baoping, Lin Nan would not ask about these things, but students who have just graduated have to ask.
"I haven't made a movie, this is the first one.
After graduation, he has been working as an executive director and an associate director. If you look at it, it will be considered as giving face to other professors. If it really doesn’t work, it will be rejected.”
Lao Jiang looked like she was dealing with errands.
Lin Nan doesn't care, just treats gold digging, maybe he can find something good.
When Lao Jiang brought the person to the editing room, Lin Nan was stunned.
Lu Yang, who graduated from a master's degree in 2007, is five years older than Lin Nan and looks quite ordinary.
"Director Lin, I remember what you said at the graduation ceremony, haha." The visitor greeted with a smile.
One of Lin Nan’s graduation speeches was that he promised to invest in films by students in the director’s department.
As long as the script is fine and his own strength is not too bad, he will consider it.
"Just remember, carry the script?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
"I'll definitely bring it with me, give it to me.
I was originally planning to be an assistant director to continue saving money, but it was too slow and I don’t know when it will be... "
Lin Nan took over the script and it was a literary drama. Well, this kind of movie is generally very cost-effective.
"The Blind Cinema?"
"Yes, the script I wrote myself." Lu Yang's tone was confident.
Lin Nan quickly read the script. The story is very simple, suitable for the film festival, selling copyright.
"Does the actor have any intention?"
Lin Nan did not look up and asked.
"Teacher Wang Jinsong promised to give me the schedule..."
This sentence attracted Lin Nan's attention, and that person was very willing to support the students of the school.
Not long after, Lu Yang left the academy.
Lao Jiang ran over curiously, "Did you vote?"
"I voted."
"How many."
"Two million."
Originally, Lu Yang's budget was 2.5 million, but Lin Nan gave him 2.6 million and asked him to go to the company to sign a contract with Yue Jun.
Lao Jiang gave a thumbs up. "Okay, your reputation has been gone."
…………
The news first spread in school and then was reported by the media.
This is the second Nortel Film student invested by Lin Nan and from the director department.
The first one is Ning Hao, who is now a famous director.
"When supporting new directors, Lin Nan does better than many large companies."
Many companies went to inquire about the news, but after they found out that it was a literary film worth about 2 million, they instantly lost interest.
Everyone thought it would be another "Stone".
After "Ip Man" was released, "If You Are the One" truly dominated the market, with a daily box office stable at nearly 17 million. Huayi is already preparing for a later celebration party.
Yinghuang Headquarters.
Donnie Yen and his agent have been waiting for a long time.
But the feedback I received was that Yang Shoucheng was having a meeting, and the participants were the director and production team of "Ip Man".
"Sister Mani, Zi Dan is really sincere. He didn't think too much about it in the capital at that time..."
The agent was laughing in front of Huo Wenxi.
"Some things are rules."
"Sister Mani is right. What about the sequel?"
"Wait a moment, Mr. Yang and the others will finish the meeting and meet you."
Huo Wenxi is very satisfied with Donnie Yen's team's attitude, after all, the original team is definitely the best choice.
Soon, Ye Weixin and others took the elevator down.
"Director Ye."
Donnie Yen and the others walked over with smiles on their faces.
"As planned, work starts after the New Year. If you change people to perform, everyone will have a headache. You can have a good talk with Mr. Yang."
As he said that, Ye Weixin patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder.
In his opinion, Yang Shoucheng would not replace him, but he was still a little angry.
"I will, thank you Director Ye."
"You're welcome."
With "Ip Man", Ye Weixin was successfully promoted to director of 100 million yuan and was in a very good mood recently.
An hour later, Donnie Yen left Yang Shoucheng's office with a smile on his face.
It was not until he left Ying Huang Building and got into the car that his face suddenly became gloomy.
"drive."
"How is it? Is it okay with the sequel?" the agent asked hurriedly.
"No problem, but the pay will not increase."
"Or three million?! That's too low, right?"
Donnie Yen had a cold face and didn't say anything.
Wait until he stands firmly...
——
On the 22nd, the starry TV series press conference.
A lot of first- and second-tier stars and media have come.
Huang Xiaoming, Zeng Li, Hu Jun and others are all actors in "Martian Rescue", and are supported by acquaintances.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao were there for only one hour.
As a favor, showing one's size is enough, and Lu Zheng personally sent the two out.
"The late episode of "Hunting" has been edited?"
"It's almost done, just these two days."
Ning Hao is now waiting for "Racing" to be released, and then he can concentrate on filming "No Man's Land".
"A company came to me two days ago and wanted to sign the priority investment rights for my subsequent movies." Ning Hao began to show off again.
"Agree?" Lin Nan praised her with great confidence.
"Haha, if I had agreed before, but I would definitely not. At most, it would be a cooperative choice in the future."
Ning Hao’s words are reasonable. Now he is famous and capable, and can do projects by himself without having to work for others.
Lin Nan was quite curious about which company it was.
"Which company? They are actually confident to ask you for priority investment rights."
"It is a company that mainly produces TV series, Pony Prancing.
They want to officially enter the film industry next year. When they see my bad monkey and small family, they throw out their olive branches.
Their vice president is pretty good at talking, he is a strong woman.”
Ning Hao said in a recollection.
Lin Nan has an impression. At the beginning of the year, the company raised $40 million in financing, shocking the entire film and television industry.
You should know that even Huayi has raised several rounds of financing, but never once was comparable to Xiaoma's first round of financing.
After raising so much money, I must be in the movie industry.
After breaking up with Ning Hao, Lin Nan returned to the company.
"Luxing" has been airing for several days.
"The data obtained from the TV station has an average viewership rate these days at 4.9%, and a maximum viewership rate of 7%...."
Yue Jun reported the data with an excited look on his face.
Obviously, this TV series became popular and was no less than the previous "Soldier Assault" and "Regiment Commander".
Soon, Yue Jun talked about another thing, "There was something wrong with Tudou. Not long ago, Mr. Wang and his wife filed for divorce..."
Lin Nan's eyes lit up, "Nothing else?"
"Yes. Because the competition among video websites is too fierce, they want to postpone the payment for the final payment by one month in case of emergency needs.
Of course, the other side also said that if we don’t agree, it’s all right, they will pay according to the agreed time.”
Lin Nan tapped the desk with his finger and thought for a while.
"You go and reply to them, I agree."
Yue Jun did not ask much, and it was already known that Lin Nan was a shareholder of Tudou.
"Okay, I'll inform you now."
After Yue Jun finished speaking, he left the office and brought it to the door.
Lin Nan thought about Yue Jun's words alone, but Wang Wei took this step.
But it doesn't matter. No matter where it develops in the end, it will not affect Lin Nan.
The purpose of investing that 10 million US dollars was not just waiting for potatoes to go public.
“I can accept whether it is listed or not.”
Lin Nan murmured to himself that he would still follow the subsequent financing.
The invitation letter for "The Legend of Sword III" has been posted all over the circle.
Tangren was very high-profile this time, not only because Hu Ge was a first-line student, but also with the goal of appreciating people.
"How did she reply?"
"Yang Mi said that her contract has one more year left and we can't consider us for the time being."
The assistant conveyed the original words to Cai Yinong.
"What a pity. Go and communicate with Rong Xinda about Yang Mi's advertising video. Perfection is still waiting for my reply."
"Yeah, I'll go right away."
On the other side.
Yang Mi has no interest in Cai Yinong's recruitment.
In her opinion, Tangren cannot provide movie resources, so signing this company is no different from retirement.
And there is already a Liu Shishi there, and even if she goes there, she won’t get much good role.
It’s better to wait until the contract expires and go to Zeng Jia.
Chapter completed!
