Chapter 184: Shareholding, Copyright

Traffic jams are inevitable in the capital's traffic conditions, and will get worse in the future.

Lin Nan lowered the car window and looked outside boredly.

Next to him was a wedding convoy of more than 30 luxury cars, which was quite impressive.

Even the people in the car opposite looked a little familiar.

Just as Lin Nan was carefully distinguishing, the window of the car opposite rolled down.

"Director Lin, we can still meet on the road, it's fate."

Qin Hailu smiled and shouted.

Lin Nan was confused, "Senior Sister Qin, are you getting married?"

As soon as the question came out of her mouth, Lin Nan knew that she was talking too fast.

"Hahaha, I want to too, but I haven't met the right person yet. It's Liu Tao getting married, and I'll be the bridesmaid."

At this moment, Lin Nan reacted, one of the "Four Young Masters" circulated in the market.

"Oh, I see."

"Taozi has found the right person this time. Today he will announce his retirement from the entertainment industry and concentrate on taking care of his husband and children in the future..."

Qin Hailu seemed to be longing for this kind of life.

Lin Nan glanced at the car in front, "Sister Hailu, please convey my blessing to the newlyweds."

"Okay, no problem."

The car began to move slowly, and finally Lin Nan noticed that the wedding convoy drove towards the direction of the Peninsula Hotel.

On the other side, Lin Nan drove to a high-end teahouse.

An antique Chinese teahouse with excellent privacy.

The waiter led Lin Nan to a private room and left.

Knocked on the door gently.

"Come in."

Lin Nan pushed the door open, "Boss Wang, I'm sorry for the traffic jam on the road."

"Director Lin is too polite. I just arrived. Please take a seat."

"Well, thank you."

"I should thank Director Lin. "Soldier Assault" has helped our company a lot. It's been two years, and it's still the TV series with the best website playback data, no doubt."

"My company is about content, and Boss Wang's company is for the audience. We just complement each other."

Lin Nan picked up the teacup and toasted.

Wang Wei smiled and raised his cup.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for choosing to cooperate with us when Tudou was just starting out.

You are right. We are upstream and downstream, and we complement each other. I am willing to cooperate with Director Lin's company. But we still have to talk about specific issues."

Hearing this, Lin Nan felt more relieved.

"Although Mr. Wang started a year earlier, he is far behind Mr. Gu of Youku in raising funds..."

Lin Nan nodded.

"Yes, they have completed three rounds of financing, which is 50% more than mine, but how much can Director Lin invest?

As I said, most domestic investors are stingy."

"800,000 US dollars in the first round, 8.5 million US dollars in the second round, and 19 million US dollars in the third round. Are these the numbers for Tudou's three rounds of financing? Am I right?"

Wang Wei nodded, "Yes."

"I will invest 10 million US dollars and will not interfere with Tudou's operations. I can follow or not in the subsequent financing."

"How much?"

Wang Wei couldn't believe his ears. He knew that Lin Nan was one of the few big directors of commercial films in China, but he was too rich.

He begged for help from everyone, but only got nearly 30 million dollars in funding after three rounds.

Looking at Wang Wei's expression, Lin Nan smiled.

"Mr. Wang, have you forgotten? I have a company, not working for others. I sold the copyright of "Buried Alive" for 20 million dollars..."

"You really don't interfere with the company's operations?" Wang Wei asked after a long time.

"I'm very busy, how can I have that time.

Recently, I invested in "My Captain, My Regiment" directed by Kang Honglei, which is about to start filming. At that time, I can still get Tudou and the broadcasting rights of my movies..."

Lin Nan said slowly, Wang Wei was thinking.

He picked up the teapot and refilled a cup for himself and Wang Wei again, and saw the latter raised his head.

"Welcome Director Lin to join the Tudou family. I will reduce the total amount of the fourth round of financing by 10 million."

"Happy cooperation." Lin Nan raised his glass.

"Happy cooperation."

…………

"I heard that when investors on Wall Street choose investment targets, they always care about the family situation of the investee.

Unmarried or married, is there a written agreement on property? I wonder if this is true or false?"

"I haven't heard of this, but it seems necessary."

Wang Wei commented, thoughtfully, and glanced at Lin Nan again, feeling that the latter's words were meant for him.

"Remind me?" Wang Wei murmured in his heart.

…………

Today, the Internet is full of news about Liu Tao's wedding and marrying into a wealthy family.

There are also many celebrities at the scene, including Hu Jun, Pan Yueming, Ren Quan, Qin Hailu...

When Lin Nan returned home, he happened to catch Liu Yifei's live interview on Sina.

This girl is as sincere as ever in front of the camera, and says whatever she wants.

When talking about her mother-daughter relationship with Liu Xiaoli, she is very frank.

"Basically, before I was ten years old, I accompanied my mother in her performances, and now she accompanies me.

She is an artist, and one of the people who has given me the most encouragement and help in my artistic work."

When talking about the many speculations about her, Liu Yifei said frankly:

"It's just negative news. In fact, I know it very well. This may just be everyone's curiosity about me.

Just here to tell the audience fans, I am actually a two-sided person.

On the one hand, I am a slow-moving person. I won’t chat with strangers. Sometimes I am shy and don’t like to talk. But on the other hand, I am very lively and crazy. I am only like this with people I know very well and are very good to. Hehe…”

When Liu Yifei was asked if she had ever been in love or had a crush on someone, her face was full of smiles.

“Let me keep my little secret in my heart. I just need to know it myself.

If one day, I get married, then he must be a perfect person…”

As she spoke, Liu Yifei was still looking directly at the camera, and Lin Nan on the other side of the screen felt like she was being stared at.

“Getting married? Miss Liu.” Lin Nan laughed like a goose.

Which young actress nowadays doesn’t avoid the topic of love and marriage. Only Liu Yifei, who is so silly, looks like she doesn’t care and doesn’t avoid it.

This is more real and beautiful.

In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from America.

“Director Lin Nan, this is Ryan Reynolds. How are you doing recently?”

Lin Nan was a little confused. “I’m doing well recently. What’s wrong? Ryan. "

"I called here specially considering the time difference. I want to invite you to attend my engagement ceremony in Hollywood in the near future..."

After listening to the other party's words, Lin Nan was like, he is going to get engaged to Scarlett.

Although "Buried" helped Ryan Reynolds be nominated for the Best Silver Bear Actor, compared with Scarlett, the woman is still stronger than the man.

Engaged after dating for half a year, is it a gift? Lin Nan muttered to himself.

"Well, if I am in Hollywood at that time, I will attend on time. Congratulations, Ryan..."

The domestic box office of "Assembly" was fixed at 260 million yuan. With the copyright sold in Southeast Asia before, Huayi and Feng Xiaogang made a lot of money this time.

A large celebration banquet was held on the day of the release.

Feng Xiaogang was even more proud and unrivaled.

If we only talk about the domestic box office, he is now the second-ranked director in the domestic box office. 260 million yuan is only lower than "The Golden Curse" and higher than "Time and Space Cruise".

Wang Baoqiang has been on the rise in the past two years. From "A World Without Thieves" to "Soldiers Assault" and then to "Assembly", he has a very good audience appeal, so much so that he has two programs in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

...

"Once we get the copyright, we can do it. Director Chen will personally direct this movie. You can read the original work first to prepare for joining the group."

Wang Zhonglei said to Li Bingbing.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Wang."

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Wang, there was an accident. They said that the copyright was sold in October last year. ”

This news instantly wiped the smiles off Wang Zhonglei and Li Bingbing’s faces.

“Who bought it, and how much?”

“Mr. Mai didn’t say, but we found out the transaction price was 1.2 million.

Director Chen hopes the company can help him get the copyright.”

Wang Zhonglei frowned, “You go tell Director Chen that the company will help him with this matter.”

“1.2 million is indeed worth this price, but which company bought it?” Wang Zhonglei had no idea at this time.

“Bingbing, you go back first, I have to find someone to ask about this matter.”

“Well, then I won’t bother Mr. Wang. "Li Bingbing said and left the office.

Wang Zhonglei sat quietly for a while and made a phone call.

…

"CJ7" held a premiere press conference.

No one can compare to Zhou Xingchi's appeal.

All media were almost present, and China Film was the largest investor.

Han Sanping said at the scene with a hint of meaning:

"Zhou Xingchi is a genius, everyone knows this.

When making movies in the mainland, China Film will escort him, and no one can suppress a talented director..."

Afterwards, many netizens were discussing Han Sanping's words, and it was clear that he was talking about "Shaolin Soccer".

"This is not the same level. When Director Han stands there, those people in Hong Kong Island can't afford to offend him. ”

The actresses in Zhou Xingchi’s movies always attract attention.

Among several big domestic directors, Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingchi are the focus of attention every time they choose female roles.

Mou Girl, Xing Girl.

Other big directors don’t have this treatment, because they don’t use newcomers.

“This Zhang Yuqi seems to be an actress of Xinghui.

It’s definitely worth waiting for the heroine of Zhou Xingchi’s movie for four years, but I don’t know if it will be the same as that Huang Shengyi…”

The Chinese version of the trailer of "The Forbidden Kingdom" has been released.

Ming Kefu revealed in an interview with Sina that he originally designed a kissing scene for the heroine.

But after careful consideration, he crossed out that part of the script.

“It was obviously my suggestion, how did it become the director’s decision after thinking about it?”

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and asked.

“Ming Kefu is okay. It was originally a small matter. If you say it was your request, what will happen to those people on the Internet who are making trouble?”

Lin Nan sat on the sofa and said with his arms around Liu Yifei.

“That’s right, but I don’t bother to pay attention to those people. "

As she spoke, Liu Yifei changed into a comfortable position and leaned against Lin Nan.
