Chapter 500 Main Theme?
LeEco announced abruptly that it had signed a contract with Zhang Yimou and his studio.
A group of leading companies in the film industry had been trying to recruit a big director for a year, but in the end, they chose LeEco?
This news caught everyone off guard, and many people in the industry were a little bit unconvinced.
But when Zhang Yimou, who had been silent for a long time, personally spoke out, the industry had to believe it.
"Today is a special day for me. I have officially signed a contract with LeEco Pictures and become its contracted director and art director..."
Zhang Yimou directly published a long article of hundreds of words to confirm his new partner and boss.
Boss Jia and Zhang Zhao also expressed their views in front of the media at the same time:
"LeEco Pictures welcomes Director Zhang Yimou to join. The company will also hold a grand, grand and public signing ceremony for him in the future."
The media flocked to report. Zhang Yimou, the top director in China, has become the art director of LeEco Pictures!
At this time, everyone looked at LeEco again, and it seemed to have instantly become a giant in the film and television industry, the top film and television company.
Because LeTV, which already had money and channels, now has a big director, which is simply like adding wings to a tiger.
It is conceivable that with Zhang Yimou, LeTV will have what kind of temptation to actors and stars in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry? It is absolutely fatal!
Lin Nan received a call from Ye Ning.
"See, it is indeed LeTV. When they poached him at the beginning of last year, I had this guess. I really don't know what conditions they gave that can be higher than ours?"
At that time, Lin Nan was filming "Bad Genius", and Zhang Yimou asked him if he wanted to sign Ni Yi. Lin Nan introduced this matter to Guangguang and Wanda.
Wang Changtian was frightened by Zhang Weiping's breach of contract fee, and felt that the lawsuit would take too long, so he gave up.
Wanda's main goal was to poach Zhang Yimou, and Ni Yi could be signed by the way, but in the end it also ended in failure.
"Who knows what promises they made. Maybe it was the original shares of LeTV Pictures before it went public?"
Lin Nan joked in a joking tone, but the probability is really high.
Ye Ning only said with disdain:
"How long has LeTV Pictures been established? You are already thinking about going public? This is not a joke."
"But if you want to go public, Director Lin's company should be the most suitable one in the industry. As long as you ask, everything will go smoothly. You have to give me a chance when the time comes?"
As he was talking, he turned to Lin Nan again. He laughed and retorted:
"Mr. Ye thinks too much. Lin Nan Pictures will not go public. Tudou needs to go down this path..."
...
The casting of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was quite fast.
To be precise, it should not be casting, but the parties are filling in people.
Huanrui officially announced the list of main creators: Yang Mi, Li Yifeng, Gillian Chung, Qiao Zhenyu, Ma Tianyu, Chen Weiting, Zhang Zhiyao...
As Wang Changtian said, there are actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and there are many guest actors, all of whom are familiar faces in film and television dramas.
In the eyes of many people, if nothing unexpected happens, the two TV series that have attracted the most attention in the industry this year are undoubtedly "Red Sorghum" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
The former has several halos, Nobel Prize-winning literary works, top directors and starring actors; the latter is a fairy-tale drama adapted from a game, with huge investment, especially attracting young audiences.
...
No one expected that before the release of several movies at the end of the month, the best performing Chinese-language film was actually "The Breakup Contract".
Lin Nan glanced at the data of "The Breakup Contract". It broke 100 million in 7 days, which is indeed very good for a love movie.
"Art film? Commercial film? Realistic theme, action film, crime film, science fiction... main theme?"
Supporting his forehead, Lin Nan was a little embarrassed. What to shoot next, his thoughts were a little messy.
He wanted this and that at the same time, and didn't know which one to decide for a while!
"Forget it, don't think about it for now."
Lin Nan shook his head and stopped thinking about the movie. He decided to plan the schedule of "Time Traveler" first.
The invitation to the premiere of "So Young" has been sent to Lin Nan Pictures.
As a film invested by Guangguang, this face must be given. Lin Nan decided to let Yue Jun represent the company to go. After all, the next day is the premiere of "One Man's Martial Arts".
After all, they are competitors, and as a boss, I will not go to support my opponent. If I really go, I will definitely be blocked by the media and asked all kinds of questions.
Lu Yang flew back from Hong Kong Island with all the main creators.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. All the publicity ends here."
Lin Nan met everyone in the company, and it can be clearly seen that everyone is a little tired physically, but in high spirits.
"One Man's Martial Arts" is about to be released, and no one is not nervous and excited.
"Director Lin, you promised to support me, but you haven't moved yet?" Lu Yang joked.
"It's not too late to go to the premiere, right? After the premiere, Yifei and I will go abroad."
"Are you going too? Isn't Yifei dubbing?"
Lin Nan decided not to talk about the Oscar registration for the time being, and give everyone a surprise when the time comes.
"Director Huo Wenxi, is he in the Capital Company?" Lin Nan looked at Bai Bing.
"Director Lin, Director Huo is not here. He will come with Director Yang at the premiere."
Hearing this, Lin Nan did not ask any more questions. "At noon, I will treat you to a meal to welcome you."
"That's great."
"Thank you, Director Lin."
...
Entertainment reporters always find the news first.
At noon, not long after Lin Nan and others entered the restaurant, photos and news appeared on the Internet.
"Director Lin Nan, welcome the crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" and wait for the premiere of the movie!"
...
Bai Bing is an actor of Ying Huang and the only woman at the table.
"With me, there is no need for toasts. Baoqiang knows that he tried this for me after filming "Lost on Journey", but I refused."
Lin Nan waved his hand and rejected Bai Bing, and Wang Baoqiang nodded with a smile on his face.
Seeing that it was really like this, Bai Bing gave up.
"This cooperation is good. If there is a chance in the future, we can continue to cooperate."
Lu Yang raised a glass of red wine and said to several actors. It can be seen that he is really satisfied with this "One Man's Martial Arts".
After a welcoming banquet, everyone went home. Wang Baoqiang went home, and Bai Bing was also picked up by his assistant.
However, Zhao Wenzhuo followed Lin Nan and Lu Yang back to the company together.
In the office, Zhao Wenzhuo, who had just not touched a drop of wine, sat upright.
"Director Lin?"
"You are about the same height as Zhen Zidan." Lin Nan looked at Zhao Wenzhuo and said.
The other party frowned slightly, and didn't react. Why did you mention Zhen Zidan?
"After "One Man's Martial Arts", we will restart the "Ip Man" series with Ying Huang." Lin Nan stopped there.
At this time, Zhao Wenzhuo didn't understand what Lin Nan meant, and he hurriedly looked at the latter.
"Director Lin, I can do it."
Zhao Wenzhuo is an action actor. He knows very well that looking at the film projects in the film industry in recent years, "Ip Man" is an unavoidable topic in action movies.
It was because of the two "Ip Man" movies that Zhen Zidan broke through from the second-tier to the first-tier, calling himself an action superstar and becoming arrogant...
"The reason why this series was suspended before was also because Zhen Zidan asked for too much, thinking he could control the crew."
Lin Nan looked at Zhao Wenzhuo and said, "You look much more decent than him. If you are asked to play Ip Man, it should be no problem."
Hearing Lin Nan's affirmation, Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't help but show a relaxed look and smile on his face.
"Director Lin, don't worry, I have the confidence to play Ip Man well." He said seriously.
In Lin Nan's view, what acting skills are needed in "Ip Man"? It doesn't need too superb acting skills at all.
The most attractive part of it to the audience is the clean and neat fighting, and the life and survival in the background of that era.
"Arrange the schedule for the second half of the year, and keep this matter confidential for the time being." Lin Nan said to Zhao Wenzhuo.
"Well, Director Lin, don't worry."
Zhao Wenzhuo nodded vigorously.
He knew very well that he had already acted in Lin Nan Film's "One Man's Martial Arts", and the next "Ip Man 3" was an opportunity that he could not miss.
Once he seized this opportunity, he would have a chance to act in similar action and kung fu films of Lin Nan Film in the future.
…………
When Lin Nan returned home in the afternoon, he was still thinking about his next movie.
When he looked up, he saw Shu Chang sitting in his living room, eating the fruit bought by Lin Nan and stroking Liu Yifei's favorite cat, just like his own home.
Miss Liu was sitting on the side, talking intermittently.
"Xixi, your big director is back."
Shu Chang put a strawberry in his mouth and said to Liu Yifei next to him.
Miss Liu moved her butt to the side of Shu Chang, obviously wanting Lin Nan to sit over.
"What's wrong, you look like you're in a bad mood?"
After Lin Nan approached, he saw Liu Yifei's appearance.
Before Miss Liu could speak, Shu Chang, who was quick-talking, had already spoken:
"Mr. Chen, it seems, had argued with Auntie about something today, and finally left with a cold face."
"You are the only one who talks too much."
Liu Yifei glared at Shu Chang, who laughed and shrank his head.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Lin Nan sat next to Liu Yifei and asked softly. In his opinion, what big deal could Chen Jinfei have?
Liu Yifei leaned her head on Lin Nan's shoulder and sighed:
"The Godfather is going to open another film and television company and wants me to invest, but Mom didn't agree. We know that he should be targeting you and me."
Lin Nan thought it was something else.
It is estimated that the man saw that the film and television industry is making more and more money now, which is completely different from the past, and couldn't help wanting to come back.
It just so happened that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were already a big banner. And Liu Xiaoli is a mother who considers everything for her daughter, so she definitely didn't agree.
Because once she agreed, it would be equivalent to supporting a new company with nothing.
Even in Liu Xiaoli's eyes, Chen Jinfei is just as unprofessional as she is.
Just like the original Red Starwood, how could it be run well? In the end, it was Liu Yifei who was dragged down, and even Lin Nan was involved.
"Since Auntie has refused, don't take it to heart." Lin Nan smiled and comforted.
"That's right, if you really invest, the next step may be to involve Lin Nan." Shu Chang echoed on the side.
Liu Yifei nodded slightly and thought of something else:
"Xie Nan called today and asked me to visit the training of "Wolf Warrior", which was still in the army. She said that there are many green lights for main theme movies..."
Lin Nan didn't listen carefully to what Liu Yifei said later. There were only three words in his mind: main theme!
At this time, an idea popped up in his mind:
"Do you want to try main theme movies?"
