Chapter 891 "Ip Man 4"; Tudou Announcement, Effective Immediately

Chapter 891 "Ip Man 4"; Tudou Announcement, from now on...

On the morning of the 18th, Lin Nan still got up very early; it was said that the crew had two days off, but he really felt that he didn't get much rest!

No, it's just past eight o'clock, and I have to rush to catch a plane again. Liu Yifei transformed into a racing driver, while the business car driven by her assistant followed closely behind.

"You can take a nap when you get home soon. I'll be back after half a month or up to twenty days."

"I can't sleep anymore. Brother Xun asked us to go to her birthday party at noon. We still have to put on makeup and pick out clothes. Changchang will be here soon."

"Oh, now it's 41?!" Lin Nan couldn't help but joked while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Don't tell her before, she will curse." Miss Liu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

The red Ferrari parked slowly outside the airport. Liu Yifei, wearing a T-shirt, slim jeans, burgundy sunglasses, and long hair shawl, accompanied Lin Nan and got out of the car.

The two assistants did not need to be reminded and went straight to check in with their suitcases in hand.

"Come on, give me a hug." Lin Nan hugged Liu Yifei into her arms. She was soft and fragrant.

"Okay, come in quickly, reporters are coming." Miss Liu said softly, but she did not let go of Lin Nan's hand.

"Sissi, please don't answer the recent strange calls. I guess some people will probably bother you if they can't find me, even our mother."

Lin Nan let go of Liu Yifei and reminded her seriously.

"Yes, I understand." Miss Liu nodded vigorously. She knew in her heart that it was just about the potatoes.

Two minutes later, Lin Nan closed the car door for Liu Yifei, and then strode towards the waiting hall;

No matter how many entertainment journalists and paparazzi shouted and surrounded him, he ignored them and only kept smiling and nodding in response.

The news of Lin Nan's appearance at the airport was not a hot topic, and was quickly submerged in the gossip related to the Nortel School Anniversary yesterday. After all, it was a grand ceremony for most of the film and television industry.

However, in the eyes of industry insiders, the trends in the film market are the focus of most attention, because this is the arena for the entire production industry and the film circle, where the career lies!

The lingering charm of the National Day season has long been exhausted, and several leading movies are also coming to an end.

"Co-produced by Zhenledao, Guangguang, and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xu Zheng, starring Xu Zheng, Bao Beier, Du Juan, Zhao Yanzi and others;

"囧", the third part of the "囧" series, was released for 23 days, with a total box office of 1.77 billion, and a daily box office of less than 100,000. Unfortunately, the film stopped just before the 2 billion box office mark! "

"Director Xu Zheng said in an interview that he is satisfied with the 1.77 billion box office performance of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" and looks forward to making up for his regrets next time;

Enlight Chairman Wang Changtian updated his personal Weibo: The celebration banquet for "囧 in Hong Kong" is scheduled to be held in Beijing on the morning of the 25th of this month. We welcome many colleagues in the industry, filmmakers, and media friends..."

"Co-produced by Happy Mahua and Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Yin Zheng, Song Yang and others;

The movie "Charlotte" has been in theaters for 18 days, with a total box office of 1.701 billion, and a daily revenue of nearly 10 million. The film is still 12 days away from release, and there is still hope to reach the 1.8 billion box office threshold. "

"There is a consensus in the film industry: "Charlotte" is the biggest box office dark horse of domestic films this year; actors Shen Teng and Ma Li became famous immediately. With this film, they officially appeared on the big screen and entered the first-line ranks. The other actors have their own achievements. addition……"

…

At noon, Lin Nan arrived in Yunnan and returned to the hotel where the crew had stayed; Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing and other actors arrived earlier than him.

Especially Zhu Yawen, who flew here right after attending the school anniversary last night, which was really unexpected.

While several people were having lunch together, Ning Hao also arrived.

At this time, the people from Jindun and the head of the logistics team came together to report the situation.

"Director Lin, most of the crew and the machines had already set off for the Golden Triangle at 9:30 in the morning, and had already checked into the hotel at this time;

The entourage of relevant departments and us will leave on time at three o'clock in the afternoon..."

Okay, let's take a break after lunch, and then we have to rush again. Lin Nan smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay, you should hurry up and prepare."

When there were only five acquaintances left at the dinner table, everyone started chatting again.

"Although it has been developed into a tourist destination, it is quite prosperous. But after filming, we should try not to go out unless we can. Safety comes first."

Lin Nan kindly reminded, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I ran into Director Chen when I was leaving last night. You didn't see his expression. You didn't even say hello to him without a smile. Attending a school anniversary was like someone who owed him money.

Your sister and I thought about it and guessed that it was the reason why we didn't get the 'Special Contribution Award'. After all, he was such a 'high and mighty' person and the director of the Palme d'Or! Tsk tsk..."

Ning Hao was really interested and teased Lin Nan about Chen Kaige last night;

On the other hand, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing and Zhu Yawen could only say nothing, smiling while picking up their dishes. The topic is too high-end and I dare not get involved!

"Maybe, anyway, his competitor is Director Zhang, not me. Haha..." Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.

Lunch ended hastily, and several people began to pack their bags again.

At the same time, in the capital, Lin Nan Films.

After Yue Jun came back from outside, he sat in the office and immediately flipped through several business card folders in the drawer. Some of the phone numbers were not saved by him!

"Director Lin is not here, so we have to push forward the new projects in the schedule. But in the past, Director Lin had direct conversations with them... How come I can't find them?"

The assistant stood quietly by the side with the company's project memo, watching Yue Jun busy there, and hurriedly asked: "Director Yue, do you need help?"

"No, I found it!"

Yue Jun put a simple business card with a gold-plated pattern on the table, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the business card were three simple traditional Chinese characters: Yang Shoucheng.

Taking the memo from the assistant, Yue Jun directly called with a landline.

At this moment, Hong Kong Island.

Chairman Yang Da was attending a cocktail party held by the Hong Kong Island Film Union. The theme of this kind of event is always a cliché, that is: how to revitalize and develop Hong Kong Island movies!

Several giants in the Hong Kong circle, such as Yinghuang, Anle, Media Asia, China Star... are all here.

"Mani sister, is your phone turned off?"

A little assistant ran to Huo Wenxi and asked quietly, the latter was socializing with several female artists.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Director Yue of Lin Nan Films called Director Yang..."

Hearing this, Huo Wenxi immediately put down the wine glass.

It stands to reason that Yue Jun usually calls her because both parties have equal status; and those who call Director Yang directly are usually Director Lin Nan!

At this moment, Yue Jun couldn't get through to her, so he called Director Yang directly... Obviously it was very important business!

"You guys chat first, I have something to do and I'll leave for a while."

Huo Wenxi took the little assistant and went to find the figure of her boss.

"Are you talking about Lin Nan Films?"

"Yes, it's Lin Nan Films."

Several female artists began to chatter.

In the lounge area of ​​the cocktail party, the chairman's assistant was guarding outside to ensure that no one broke in. After seeing Huo Wenxi, he let her in.

"Director Yue, do you mean that preparations for Ip Man 4 can begin?"

As soon as he entered the lounge, Huo Wenxi heard Yang Shoucheng's laughter and was in a good mood.

"Yes, Director Yang. Director Lin should have told you before that this is also the last film in this series.

As for the main creative team, especially the director, martial arts director, and shooting team, please ask Ying Huang to coordinate in advance and try to keep the same style as before;

Finally, Director Huo, you can ask her to take time to come to Lin Nan Films to divide the investment shares..."

The smile on Yang Shoucheng's face was about to overflow, "Well, Wenxi will go to the capital at the end of this month, and Ying Huang will take care of the team..."

Two minutes later, the phone was hung up. Yang Shoucheng looked at Huo Wenxi on the side and said with a smile: "Did you hear it?"

"Well, the Ip Man series is going to start the fourth film!"

Huo Wenxi was also in a good mood and nodded. If a series of movies reaches this point, as long as it is not perfunctory, it will be difficult to lose money!

"Adjust the schedule. Go to Lin Nan Film Studio before the end of the month and try to get more for us."

"Okay, Mr. Yang."

...

In the eyes of Lin Nan, Ning Hao and others, the developed area of ​​the Golden Triangle, more than 300 kilometers away from the border, is similar to the third-tier cities in China;

There are even many areas similar to the urban-rural junction, which generally exude a backward atmosphere. And the architectural style naturally has a certain foreign flavor.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the crew members were ready to take their positions, and the filming location was in a large shopping mall here.

This was the first time that all the members of the "Mekong River Case Special Operations Team" disguised themselves and had a direct confrontation with the villain gang, and then there was exposure, exchange of fire, speeding, and chasing!

Zhang Hanyu, Zhu Yawen, and Li Bingbing gave Lin Nan an "OK" gesture at the same time, and the other actors followed closely and were also on standby at any time.

"Director Ning?"

"I'm sure there's no problem. I'm just waiting for your command."

Ning Hao shouted from behind the main camera. He was responsible for Zhang Hanyu's shots.

In addition, there were six cameras that took on the mission of secondary shots. Six people were in charge of the shots, filming Zhu Yawen, Li Bingbing and others.

"Ready, 3, 2, 1, action!"

As Lin Nan's voice fell, the filming of the second half of "Operation Mekong" officially began.

Zhang Hanyu's experience, Zhu Yawen's forbearance, Li Bingbing's swiftness and decisiveness, the three characters were perfectly portrayed.

Sitting behind the monitor, Lin Nan watched everyone's performance and was very satisfied.

They were all old actors, and there were almost no mistakes, only the difference between good and better; after all, the script had been read so many times, and everyone had rehearsed privately for so long!

……

At noon, when "Operation Mekong" was being filmed intensively, the domestic film and television industry, financial industry, Internet industry...all focused their attention on Tudou!

Major financial capital, Internet capital, film and television capital...all became restless, enthusiastic, and even boiling because of Tudou's announcement.

Related news dominated the hot search list, and the attention, popularity, and topic volume of the entire network exploded, and countless people in the film and entertainment industry were shocked and looked up to them.

“This morning, Tudou Video Network issued an important announcement:

In view that the company's development has reached a necessary stage, in order to enable Tudou to continue to grow and expand and better serve users, Tudou has unanimously voted to launch the IPO process from now on;

From the date of the announcement, Tudou's first round of financing plan has officially begun; the first round of financing reception is scheduled for the evening of the 25th of this month. Investors from all walks of life are welcome to actively sign up and obtain invitations to the dinner. "

“According to industry insiders, Tudou’s market share accounts for more than 40%, which is higher than Youku. It ranks first among similar companies in terms of market share!”

“It is reported that this round of IPO is Tudou’s second IPO; 5 years ago, Tudou was suspended from listing due to founder Wang Wei’s divorce case and stopped in four rounds of financing; after that, Tudou fell into a serious trough. The valuation plummeted, and it was once on the verge of bankruptcy, until there was a major change of shareholders..."

"Relevant website data shows that the current major shareholders of Tudou are: Lin Nan Pictures, Wanda Pictures, Enlight Media, Wang Wei..."

…

Everyone knows that Tudou does not belong to the film and television industry. It is an Internet attribute and only intersects with the film and television industry.

This also means that whether it is valuation or post-IPO market value, Tudou is not comparable to listed companies in the film and television industry. Its upper limit is even greater!

"Contact Tudou immediately. We must be the ones invited to the financing dinner on the 25th!"

"Let's find out who our competitors are among so many banks? The shares released in the first round will definitely not be many, because Tudou is not short of money!"

"According to the plan, we go to Mr. Wang to get the invitation letter. This is what Director Lin promised us!"

"Go and sign up first, and before the dinner, we'll see if there are any other more reliable ways. It's definitely best to have an extra insurance policy."

…

Capital in the financial industry, capital in the Internet industry, and even capital in the film and television industry have all begun to take action.

No one is stupid. Everyone knows what high-quality stocks are. Potatoes are the top quality stocks - a super big cake!

"It finally begins."

Let’s not mention the financial industry and the Internet industry. In the film and television industry alone, there are a large number of companies trying to make money, such as Huayi, LeTV, Xingmei... and even individual state-owned enterprises!

"Let's try it first and sign up."

"Okay, Director Ren."

…

“In the name of Weibo, let’s contact Wang Wei.”

"Director Cao, why don't you ask Director Lin directly? He is Tudou's major shareholder!"

"There's no rush yet."

"Okay, Director Cao."

…

Jiaxing, Zeng Jia and Yang Mi, who have recently received financing, are also paying attention to Tudou's announcement.

"Mimi, this is a company with a valuation of more than 30 billion, and it is not a premium valuation. When it is successfully listed, the market value will only be higher, or even more than doubled!

Tudou has issued a financing announcement now. You can see how many capitals want to get on board are rushing in... This is the real top capital! "

Zeng Jia said with a look of longing, and Yang Mi swallowed subconsciously, "Don't even think about it if you can't compare it to her. But, I really envy her..."

…

Big companies are taking action, small companies are fantasizing, and even some individuals in the film and television entertainment industry are "whimsical."

No one could get through to Lin Nan's phone. Wang Changtian just disappeared. Over at Wanda - Lao Wang was very proud. He had been shopping during this period...

No one who wants to take shortcuts can find a way, and all come back in vain! Be anxious, but don’t give up!

"Sissi, this is the sixth call that Hongxingwu has made to me since you turned off your phone! Those people are really powerful. They couldn't find Director Lin, so they tried every means to find you!"

Shu Chang pursed his lips, a little regretful about being this mouthpiece.

"Then next time you call, tell them, just say it was me and ignore those people. I guess the same is true for Lin Nan Pictures, but I think Senior Brother Yue Jun must have more experience in handling things than me."

Liu Yifei was curled up on the sofa, eating fresh strawberries, very comfortable.

"Your great director probably won't be able to come back for Tudou's financing dinner on the 25th. Do you, the 'hostess', want to go to the dinner?"

Faced with Shu Chang's curious inquiry, Liu Yifei gently bit off the tip of half of the strawberry, then shook her head:

"No, I don't understand that. Besides, except for Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Wang, I definitely don't know anyone else. After going there, I will inevitably have to socialize and socialize. It's too tiring, and I don't know stupid!"

Liu Yifei gave her best friend a roll of her eyes and "disdained" the other party for being so stupid!

…

The next day.

On the crew of "Operation Mekong", Lin Nan sat behind the monitor and watched Zhu Yawen's performance, with veins popping out. It was an expression of extreme emotion.

After catching the drug dealer who abducted, defiled and forced his girlfriend to death during the chase, the second male character did not choose to abide by "discipline", but killed the drug dealer by "swallowing a gun"! And this scene happened right in front of the male lead.

In addition, the props team created a scene where brains mixed with blood are splashed onto the leaves of shrubs. Although it is very bloody in the camera, it is very refreshing!

Lin Nan would not cut this scene, because he was very sure that the review department would not dare to object and would only give him a pass, unless his brain was really flooded and he wanted to die!

"Click!"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone at the scene immediately relaxed. After filming this ten-minute scene, several supporting roles were completed at the same time.

"I said Director Lin, Tudou will hold its first round of financing dinner in five days. Are you really not going back?"

"Nonsense, of course I won't go back. Also, you'd better not say anything else in front of me, otherwise I won't save face for you."

Lin Nan glared at Ning Hao. He knew about the latter's call from Dong Ping.

Obviously, Ning Hao understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'm too lazy to pass on the message. Just leave it to fate."

"We don't want to get the original shares of Tudou. When it goes public, we will go to the secondary market to support it."

Li Bingbing was sitting on the chair next to him and joking. Many people around him were nodding in agreement and smiling constantly.

Because it doesn’t require much judgment, Tudou is recognized as a high-quality stock, just buy it!

"Then I can only say one thing: thank you all for supporting me! Haha..."

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. He was also looking forward to the financing dinner on the evening of the 25th. It would be very interesting to come...after all, most of the capital was to accompany the runners!
