Chapter 288: Not Highly Required Acting Skills

China Film Group is a big company with broad shoulders.

Design of Chinese elements, selection of domestic filming locations, communication and coordination among various units and departments...

Lin Nan threw all these tasks to China Film Group, and Han Sanping accepted them happily.

Whether it is shooting, post-production or special effects work, Lin Nan Film will only send a small number of employees to participate.

Because the company is short of staff, and Tiangong Color is also busy.

"What it means is that the Chinese personnel in the main creative team are mainly composed of China Film Group and Wanda?" Yue Jun asked.

"China Film Group accounts for the majority, and Wanda has few people. After all, it has just been established for a short time, and the heart is willing but the strength is insufficient."

Lin Nan replied. It would be best if China Film Group had more technical personnel.

After all, it is a state-owned enterprise, and it has the responsibility and obligation to support and drive the entire domestic film industry.

...

"Mi Mi, it's hard to say now."

Hearing Zeng Jia's words, Yang Mi, who was taking off her costume, stopped what she was doing.

She frowned, "What's the problem?"

In her opinion, Liu Yifei has clearly stated that she will not participate, so what else can go wrong?

"I heard from Director Yue that the preparations for Warner and Lionsgate have already begun, and the domestic team will set off soon..."

"Well, then what?"

"In terms of time, we may not be able to wait..."

This is simply bad news for Yang Mi!

"So soon?"

"Two Hollywood big companies, hundreds of people are doing the preparations, the efficiency cannot be low."

On that day, during the filming of the "Palace Lock Heart Jade" crew, Yang Mi was a little absent-minded, frequently distracted, and was constantly NG.

...

Huayi is very rich now, and everyone knows this.

But Lin Nan didn't expect that Wang Zhonglei would ask him to buy the investment share of "Pacific Rim".

"Director Lin, remember that a few years ago, we bought the share of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from you.

I wonder if there is still a chance this time?"

To be honest, Lin Nan really didn't consider this situation.

He glanced at Wang Zhonglei and asked:

"The last time, Mr. Wang was dealing with the public opinion crisis caused by Wang Jinghua and a large number of artists leaving Huayi, what about this time?"

Wang Zhonglei didn't expect Lin Nan to ask so directly, "Director Lin is also a shareholder of Huayi, I won't hide it."

"It's almost a year since the listing, and the lock-up period is coming..."

Lin Nan understood after hearing this.

If they get the investment share of "Pacific Rim", Huayi's stock will most likely rise.

Do the Wang brothers want to improve their lives? Or do they have other plans?

Lin Nan shook his head helplessly.

In the original "Journey to the Center of the Earth", he had planned to sell the shares at a premium from the beginning, so he could sell it.

But this time it's different.

Wang Zhonglei saw Lin Nan shaking his head, and his heart skipped a beat. "Director Lin, is there any problem?"

"This time it's a co-production, and because the project is relatively large, there are notes in the contract.

Any change in the investment amount of any party needs to be communicated with other producers in advance, and other people have priority in trading..."

This clause was proposed by Warner, and the first one to agree was Wanda!

Disappointment flashed across Wang Zhonglei's face.

"In that case, I won't bother Director Lin, let's find time to meet again another day..."

"Well, Mr. Wang, take care."

After leaving Lin Nan Pictures, Wang Zhonglei got in the car, his face immediately became gloomy, took out his mobile phone, and dialed out.

"Brother, we didn't reach an agreement..."

Some time ago, Huayi had just determined a development route.

That is, to enter other peripheral industries, such as cultural real estate, mobile games, Internet entertainment, hotel investment...

And the implementation of this strategy is inseparable from funds, a steady stream of funds, Huayi stocks are a cow.

Originally, I thought of a premium, using the news of participating in "Pacific Rim" to stimulate the stock price that was about to be released. There are many methods and means in the financial market...

But he didn't expect to be rejected, which caught Wang Zhonglei off guard...

…………

Lin Nan asked someone to find out about Huayi's recent actions and came to a very interesting conclusion.

"Has it already begun to 'de-single-film'?"

To be honest, Lin Nan felt that Wang Zhongjun and his team had a lot of ideas, but once this kind of thing is put in the wrong order, it is easy to collapse.

…

Several movies in August are still a while away from being released;

Those movies in September can't wait to start building momentum.

"The Hawthorn Tree" has completely opened the curtain of publicity, and a large number of stills have been released.

Zhang Weiping shouted to the audience and the media: Zhang Yimou is a master! And this movie is a masterpiece!

But Feng Xiaogang turned around and said something weird: There are no masters in this era, they are all vulgar people.

"The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" and "Sword Rain" were compared head-on, Xu Ke vs. Wu Yusen, which seems to be quite interesting.

Zhen Zidan's "Fist of Fury" is a bit floating.

The slogan "Zhen Kung Fu + No. 1 Fighting Star + Superhero" was shouted out, and the box office target was 500 million!

The Internet was full of stills, posters and highlights of several movies, as well as many gimmicks.

But many people were discussing "Thieves", why didn't they see any movement on "Thieves"?

Even Han Sanping called Lin Nan to ask if he wanted to start promoting it.

"Let's not rush, let's talk about it next month. This way we can maximize the expectations."

"Thieves Alliance" was released on the last day of September, aiming for the National Day holiday, and was not on the same starting line as those movies.

…

The casting of "Pacific Rim" is still the focus of the industry.

"This movie has a female character, right?"

"Well, I've read the script, and there's a female character. What, do you have any ideas?"

Ye Ning asked on the phone.

"Haha, I have some ideas. Besides, isn't Wanda Pictures one of the investors?"

Ye Ning paused for a moment, then reminded: "If you have any ideas, then ask Director Lin for his opinion."

"Well, I'll go and ask, and you can help me by saying a few words..."

…………

Lin Nan was currently listening to Zhu Yawen complain about Shiba Culture.

Two years have passed since Wang Jinghua left Chengtian with her people, but Wu Kebo sued Wang Jinghua in the past two days.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu is not that easy to play!

Wang Jinghua is also very powerful. Shiba Culture actually did not pay dividends to Wu Kebo in those three years because of losses.

It has been two years, and the other party is now suing, demanding to see various meeting minutes, financial statements, and account books during the three-year cooperation...

"Can't you provide it?" Lin Nan asked jokingly.

Although the brokerage company may make profits and losses, when it comes to Wang Jinghua, it is indeed false to say that it has been losing money.

Don’t even look at what artists she had in her hands at the beginning!

"You guessed it right again."

Zhu Yawen smiled a little helplessly.

Fortunately, he did not renew his contract at the beginning of the year and instead established a studio. The current lawsuit has nothing to do with him.

"She's also amazing, she's been fooling her for so long!"

Lin Nan sighed with emotion. He estimated that this matter would probably be kept private in the end and would not cause a big fuss.

…

When driving back, Lin Nan found that Liu Yifei's place seemed quite lively.

Shu Chang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, ran over. A group of cats and dogs chased her and played.

"Why do you have time today? I almost forgot what you look like, haha."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Shu Chang rolled his eyes.

Liu Yifei walked out of the villa wearing slippers and carrying a fruit plate, looking very homely and a bit lazy.

"She woke me up while I was still sleeping and scared me."

Miss Liu complained about her best friend.

"It's already ten o'clock, and you're still lying down in the sun..."

Before Shu Chang could finish speaking, Liu Yifei suppressed her.

After a few minutes, the fight ended.

When Lin Nan first saw Shu Chang, he thought she was here to ask about "Pacific Rim", but he guessed wrong.

But it's right to think about it, this girl doesn't seem to have much pursuit.

She is not very interested in going international or Hollywood movies.

"I'm not interested in your movie. I've accepted another drama." Shu Chang seemed to have guessed what Lin Nan was thinking.

"What drama?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask, and Lin Nan was also curious.

Now it was Shu Chang's turn to feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh, why are you asking so many questions? Seriously."

"Isn't it a 'silly girl'?"

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he saw Shu Chang staring over with an unkind look.

"Changchang, you won't let Lin Nan guess right, right?"

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she imitated Shu Chang's line in "Magic Phone", "Chinese Brand 2060..."

"You two are so annoying!"

It really made Lin Nan guess, and she laughed even more enthusiastically.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh. In fact, the acting is quite good and the creativity is good."

While chatting, Shu Chang started talking.

This time it is a sequel, but Jiao Enjun cannot participate due to schedule reasons...

…………

Lin Nan received a call.

how to say? Lu Zheng has such a big heart and dares to think about anything.

"Is "Warring States" about to be finished?"

"Well, it can be completed in about a week to ten days."

Lu Zheng is a shareholder of Wanda Pictures, but he didn't mention this matter on the phone. He was very measured.

"Director Lin, do you think Tiantian has a chance in this role?"

…

Lin Nan did not give a direct answer, only saying that he could not decide now and would have to wait.

"After the filming of "Warring States" is completed, we will meet in the capital. When the time comes, Director Lin must be sure to honor it..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan thought carefully about the female characters in "Pacific Rim".

He put a lot of thought into the setting of the script this time.

Many of the group portraits feature Chinese faces, such as scientists, doctors, engineers, soldiers, etc.

But when it comes to female characters, there is really only one.

"Science fiction movies, mechas, monsters...

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there are indeed no high acting requirements! "

Lin Nan shook his head and planned to wait for Warner and Lionsgate to finalize a rough timetable.

…………

Zhang Yi returned to the company happily and went straight to Lin Nan's office.

I said hello to many acquaintances along the way, and it was good to be teased.

It's indeed a good thing.

Looking back now, Zhang Yi is extremely grateful for the ruthless and decisive decision he made.

Isn't it just a ten-year date? Many people are envious of it now.

"This guy, you still have to be tough on yourself, haha..."
