Chapter 99 What Rules Are Violated

Last night, Lin Nan slept in the hotel, and didn't sleep well all night.

His mind was full of the two conversations with Liu Yifei, tossing and turning like a cat, scratching himself.

"I like it, it's good."

Lin Nan remembered his ideal a few years ago, when he decided to be a sea king.

But personality is sometimes very strange, it is innate and destined, and the nature is awakened when you fall in love at first sight.

Liu Yifei was well protected by Liu Xiaoli. From "Tianlong" to the filming of "Shendiao", all kinds of dirty words were thrown at this girl.

But these ugly words did not frustrate Liu Yifei, and she "took time" to appear on "Fashuo".

After getting Lin Nan's "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the dark words on the Internet made a comeback, even worse than before, but Liu Yifei still held on. It's incredible that an 18-year-old girl can do this.

She used to be a little networm, but now she rarely surfs...

This strong mentality is also one of the reasons why Lin Nan likes it.

Perhaps her divorced family has shaped her heart since she was young.

After washing up, Lin Nan left the hotel.

Yesterday, she was too excited and didn't answer many calls, and there were many text messages.

There were many text messages wishing her a happy holiday, and there were more people than before, such as Zeng Li and others.

"Yesterday, was that a holiday gift?" Lin Nan muttered with a smile.

Turning on the radio in the car, she heard a lot of news.

Eason Chan swept the 2018 Music Awards Ceremony, the Super Girl New Year's Eve Concert, Feng Xiaogang announced the suspension of "The Banquet" in a fancy way, thanking the crew for their hard work...

A piece of film and television news attracted Lin Nan's attention.

The costume sitcom created by the original team of "The Story of the Kitchen Class" is going to be broadcast on CCTV-8.

"Wulin Wai Zhuan?"

What a familiar drama for Lin Nan, the shopkeeper Tong with an authentic accent.

"After graduating in June, the company should also expand its business."

This idea suddenly became very strong, TV drama business, film and television investment business, and even signing a few artists.

The post-editing group of "Time and Space Cruise" of China Film did not have a holiday. Lin Nan drove to China Film and had to come from time to time to see how the editing was going and whether it met his requirements.

There are many directors who often go to China Film. Every year, many directors come to fight for the film support fund, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, which can basically support some low-cost art films or realistic themes.

Lin Nan does not come to China Film very often, but he can see some directors running for funds almost every time he comes, and he is not surprised.

But this time the other party set his sights on him.

"Director Lin Nan, I wonder if you have a plan to invest in the film. My script is still very good. It only costs about three million..."

Lin Nan was a little confused. What happened? It was the first time that he was stopped from investing in China Film!

Looking at several unfamiliar faces, Lin Nan was a little at a loss and could only step back.

Fortunately, several staff members of China Film came to stop him, and he was relieved.

...

"Director Lin, did you scare you?"

A China Film employee asked with a smile.

"What's going on? I remember that all the directors who were listed came to ask for funds during holidays?"

Lin Nan was a little confused. Didn't they care about the influence of their status?

The other party had a bitter face and hesitated for a while before speaking, "Only because you have a good relationship with the group, I said that there was a meeting a few days ago. This year's support funds were cut, and those people were included..."

"More than these few?"

Lin Nan tried.

"Almost cut in half."

Lin Nan understood. This is to make up for the losses. When it is said to be cut in half, it is probably referring to the total support funds being cut in half, but the number of supported films will definitely not be reduced too much, which will also look better.

There is this advantage of pulling China Film Group to make movies together, and you can make full use of these good equipment and talents of China Film Group.

"Director Lin, come to see the post-production?"

Everyone greeted Lin Nan familiarly when they saw him. He had done the post-production of "Hidden in the Dust" before, and now he is completely an old acquaintance.

"Yes, I heard that you are working overtime, so I came to express my condolences, haha."

"You can't come empty-handed?" Someone joked.

"Okay, I'll take care of the lunch."

Lin Nan said generously after looking at the first scene of Zeng Li and Ning Hao on the screen.

"Okay, thank you Director Lin."

"Thank you Director Lin for the hospitality, haha."

...

When this play was filmed, it was recorded live, and it sounds very good now. The lines of the actors in the Central Academy of Drama are really not exaggerated.

In comparison, the three people in the Central Academy of Drama in this movie completely crushed the other three.

Looking at Zeng Li with blood on her face in the picture, Lin Nan also felt that she was not suitable for the small screen, but more suitable for long shots. If she changed into ancient costumes, it would be very good.

"Sorry to bother you guys. When it's finished, I will definitely ask President Han to give you bonuses, project bonuses."

"Then Director Lin has to talk to President Han. A big director can't break his promise."

"Yes, that's the reason."

Lin Nan smiled and said that everything is easy to talk about.

Lin Nan told Han Sanping about the multi-regional distribution of this movie.

China Film Group needs to help him with Southeast Asia, and he can communicate with Lionsgate or New Line for North America and Europe and ask them to distribute.

Han Sanping, today he is in the group. For people of this level, there is no such thing as vacation.

Lin Nan stayed here for a while in the later stage, and then Han Sanping sent someone to look for him.

"Mr. Han, you are truly a success. Every time I come over to see the post-production process, you always call me over."

Lin Nan joked with a smile.

Han Sanping leaned back in his chair and said, "You still don't want to? If you don't come today, I will call you tomorrow."

Hearing that this meant it was serious business, Lin Nan put away his joking expression and said, "What serious business is this?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "It's about the movie."

"Issuance?" Lin Nan guessed.

Han Sanping nodded and said, "In fact, you already have connections with us in Europe and the United States. Lionsgate or New Line are both fine. China Film Group doesn't need to worry too much."

Lin Nan nodded, that's the truth.

"The multi-regional distribution mentioned before is only in Southeast Asia. Other places are easy to talk about. There is currently a problem in South Korea."

"What could be the problem?"

Lin Nan asked, logically speaking, there would be no difficulties. Those stickmen have always been proud of the entertainment industry, so the probability of a movie causing trouble should be low.

"It's not a bad thing." Han Sanping saw that Lin Nan had misinterpreted what he meant.

"You should know that the economic structure of this country is that many industries are controlled by large companies, the so-called chaebols."

"I know this."

"We worked with CJ on the previous "Return to Youth". Originally, "Time Cruiser" was most likely handed over to them, but this time another company came over, hoping to get the exclusive distribution rights."

"I was shocked. What did you think it was?"

Lin Nan reacted after speaking. CJ was originally a giant in the South Korean film and television industry, and those who dared to compete with it were definitely not small players.

"Which one?"

"ShowBox, they have a lot of say in theaters in South Korea." Han Sanping added.

Generally speaking, the more developed the economy, the better the movie box office, so South Korea is a box office that cannot be ignored.

"You mean, let me make a choice?"

Lin Nan asked.

"You have to make a choice, and you will be coming to China in two days." Han Sanping glanced at Lin Nan.

"Who? CJ or ShoeBox?"

"The latter, but there's no guarantee that CJ will come after hearing the news."

Lin Nan didn't think the joke was funny, "It's just a movie, and the cost is only 40 million, not 400 million. Is it worth a trip?"

"Besides, it hasn't been long since we started working on the post-production process, so we wouldn't want to talk about it so early."

"Don't think about this, you should consider which one to choose." Han Sanping gave all the questions to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan had only heard of the name of the company there, but didn't really know much about it.

I definitely can’t make a choice now. “Let me think about it when I go back. At worst, I’ll talk about it when I meet someone.”

Han Sanping didn't care about Lin Nan's idea. From China Film's point of view, it didn't matter who he collaborated with because it was prefixed with Chinese.

"Over on Hong Kong Island, I guess Yinghuang will look for you. Didn't they release "Stone" once before?"

Han Sanping reminded that Yang Shoucheng had actually talked about this matter with him on the phone, but Lin Nan was the person involved in this project, and Han Sanping suggested that he contact Lin Nan directly.

"This is no problem. We have already cooperated once."

Lin Nan agreed casually. He had a good impression of Yang Shoucheng, but his artists said otherwise.

Before Lin Nan could react, Han Sanping handed over a form.

Lin Nan was stunned and took it.

"This is information that will be released in a few days. Take a look at it first, don't tell anyone, and choose a good time for "Time Cruiser" this year."

Lin Nan looked at the document in his hand and his eyes lit up, "Mr. Han, is this not against the rules?"

"Violation? You didn't do anything. What rules did you break?"

Lin Nan really admires him, the boss is the boss.

The information in hand is this year’s list of imported films! Half of them have the approximate month marked, and a few even have the specific time marked.

"This is just most of them. There are still some that are under negotiation. We will give priority to our own people when the time comes..."

"Understood, Mr. Han."

China Film is China Film. Sometimes it is both a player and a referee, and many things in the game can be mixed in.

"That is to say, our current film industry is still too weak. Otherwise, why would we do this? We are under great pressure to import films, and the WTO regulations are there."

Han Sanping looked distressed, which moved Lin Nan a little. Although this man acted a bit domineering, his heart for the domestic film industry was genuine.

Lin Nan lowered his head and glanced at the list. "King Kong" will be released ten days later, followed by "War Pigeon" and "Battle of the Empire".

With three imported films coming together for one month, especially with a blockbuster like "King Kong" taking the lead, Lin Nan is worried about Jet Li's "Fearless" and just wishes him good luck.

"By the way, Mr. Han. I'm going to treat the post-production team to dinner this morning. Do you want to join us?"

Lin Nan didn't forget this and said smoothly.

Han Sanping smiled and waved his hand, "I won't go, there are other dinners.

You tell them that I have approved the project bonus you promised them to fight for, and it will be treated as a favor to you. "

"Haha, you actually knew it, it only took a while. Then thank you for this favor."
