Hualiu Director

Chapter 244 An Invitation from Huayi

After returning to the capital from Hunan, Lin Hong wrote the script for several days in his study at home, and finally wrote the first, second, and third scripts of "Resident Evil".

Because the previous episodes of the "Resident Evil" series will give people the illusion of confusion in terms of plot logic, so Lin Hong followed the timeline from the beginning of the Umbrella Company's plan to destroy the world and create gods, to the creation of Alice, and finally The time story line of the final chapter has been sorted out.

After finishing writing the script and timeline story outline, Lin Hong certified the copyright of the script in China and Beautiful Country respectively, and then sent the complete trilogy script to Milla Jovovich.

Mira called Lin Hong the next day, and she said that she couldn't wait to start this charming doomsday world.

Lin Hong said that the project can be started, but the preparation will definitely take a lot of time, because this movie can be released in China, but he does not plan to shoot in China, that would be too troublesome.

But Lin Hong's foundation in Hollywood is still too weak, he needs a better opportunity to enter the market, and then start the life crisis series.

As for the opportunity to enter Hollywood, it is of course that the "Transformers" series and "The Silence of the Lambs" can achieve great box office and artistic success. Invite Lin Hong to enter.

For the "Resident Evil" series, Lin Hong hasn't decided whether he wants to direct it himself, or whether he should just act as a producer or producer, but the project is definitely going to be launched.

After making an appointment with Mira for the next meeting in the beautiful country, Lin Hong brought a lot of fruit to visit the crew of "Eating and Drinking Men and Women".

I don't know if it's because of the agreement with Lin Hong that the filming progress of Ang Lee's crew is obviously faster than when he was in Hollywood.

Of course, Lin Hong would not be narcissistic and think that it was really because of him that Li An speeded up. When Lin Hong asked Li An the reason, Li An also had mixed feelings.

"Hollywood is already a complete film industry system, and there are ready-made teams to complete everything.

However, Beautiful Country now divides the film work more and more carefully. Although it can improve the service quality, it will also delay the progress to a certain extent.

Coupled with the strange wind direction in Hollywood in recent years, the intervention of various teams and labor unions, many actresses or so-called disadvantaged actors always ask for rest, and there are also many people who require eight-hour working hours and weekends.

So sometimes it's not that the progress of our directors is slow, but that the industry environment is changing.

It’s different here in mainland China. After the actors join the group, they don’t have any concept of rest. Even arranging night scenes, kiss scenes and sex scenes, you only need to talk to the actors. Even actors like Zou Xun and He Lei are the same. , and everyone enjoyed it.

What I admire the most is the field manager Huang Li recruited. Everyone is like clockwork. You can't see any fatigue from their faces, and everyone is always in a state of excitement. "

Lin Hong wanted to say, this means that you are a famous director Li Anda, who is not excited to cooperate with you, you can change to a third-rate director to come on stage and see.

Forget it, this is a beautiful misunderstanding, let Ang Lee continue to misunderstand, this is good for promoting the development of the Chinese film industry.

After chatting with Li An about the film's later stage and the release date, Lin Hong invited Li An, Zou Xun, He Lei and other crew chiefs to have a meal.

On the second day of visiting Ang Lee, Lin Hong went to Hualiu Music, and Ye Xianglun was recording his first album. Lin Hong saw him and Lin Qinglan singing duet with loving eyes through the glass, and Lin Hong felt uncomfortable for a while.

Especially when Lin Qinglan came out, the first sentence was "Why are you here?"

Lin Hong automatically ignored Lin Qinglan, and instead started talking to Ye Xianglun who was behind her.

"How many songs have you recorded?"

"I have already recorded 8 songs, and the recording will be done in one week."

Ye Xianglun answered Lin Hong's words very respectfully, because Lin Hong was not only kind to him, but also his future uncle, and there was no way to suppress his blood.

Lin Hong is not a professional musician, so he simply let Ye Xianglun take charge of the album. He is only responsible for two songs. Talent and ability, more than anyone believes.

"Produce the album as soon as possible, ask the company for any resources you need, and ask Xiao Di for help in the follow-up promotion."

Although Hualiu Music bears the name of Hualiu, it is Lin Hong's private music company and has nothing to do with Hualiu Film and Television, but it is not a problem for Xiao Di to find some resources to promote Ye Xianglun.

"Brother, I have already contacted Manager Xiao."

Lin Qinglan leaned over with a smile, she would not be soft when picking up her brother's wool, and Hualiu was not a little princess to her, so it was not easy to find some resources.

Lin Hongbai gave Lin Qinglan a look, he also gave up on this younger sister who turned her elbow outward, hey.

"You should record your own album as soon as possible during the summer vacation, don't delay until the start of school, you know?"

Lin Qinglan's album recording was originally planned, but she insisted on waiting for Ye Xianglun to finish recording, because she wanted Ye Xianglun to be her producer, and Lin Hong had no problem thinking about it, so she agreed.

Or let the two of them release their albums at the same time, and see what kind of shock it will have on this stagnant Chinese music scene?

As soon as this idea came out, Lin Hong became a little excited. Ye Xianglun's talent can definitely lead the music scene for decades, and Lin Qinglan's singing skills, plus the songs written by her brother Lin Hong and her boyfriend Ye Xianglun, are at least at the level of a new generation of little queens.

If these two released an album at the same time...

Just do it!

So Lin Hong shared his thoughts with the two of them, and Ye Xianglun and Lin Qinglan also became excited.

The two of them are not because of such a reason as to shock the Chinese music scene, but because they are excited because they can release an album together to spread dog food.

After confirming that the two of them would release an album, Lin Hong received a call from Huang Xiaoming just as he was about to go back.

Lin Hong thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Huang Xiaoming's call was to invite him to visit and guide Huayi.

Lin Hong wasn't sure what Huayi's purpose was, but he was fearless. Isn't it Huayi?

So the next morning, Wang Lei's driver came to greet Lin Hong at the door of Lin Hong's house, and there was Huang Xiaoming in the car.

"Brother Xiaoming, you're out of sight now. Based on our relationship, I'll go there just by calling you. There's no need to make it so grand!"

Sitting on the leather sofa of a Rolls-Royce drinking ice-cold whiskey, Lin Hong felt that Hualiu should also build a Rolls-Royce.

"My status today is the major shareholder of Huayi, so it must be more solemn to invite you to guide me."

Although Huang Xiaoming said so, he still regarded Lin Hong as a friend in his demeanor, and he didn't deliberately.

"Oh, brother Xiaoming, tell me what is the purpose of Huayi inviting me over today, otherwise I will not be prepared for the question you ask later."

Huang Xiaoming is really uncomfortable at this time. On the one hand, he is Lin Hong's good friend, and he must be morally towards Lin Hong.

But he is also the seventh largest shareholder of Huayi, and he has benefited a lot from Huayi. It can be said that without Huayi's strong support, Huang Xiaoming would not be able to achieve today's achievements, so he is obliged to contribute to the interests of Huayi.

"Lin Hong, let me tell you the truth. Huayi's big ip plan is not going well. We have a lot of internal disputes, and we haven't been able to reach a consensus, so I want to ask you, an expert, to help plan it.

in addition……"

The previous words were not considered embarrassing, but then Huang Xiaoming hesitated to speak.Lin Hong knew that this "other" was the key today.

"Brother Xiaoming, it's okay to say."

Seeing that Lin Hong was so free and easy, Huang Xiaoming was even more embarrassed, but thinking that it was up to Lin Hong whether to agree or not, he still bit the bullet and said it.

"In addition, Huayi's board of directors intends to exchange shares with Hualiu!"

Equity replacement usually involves the introduction of strategic investors or partners to achieve cross-shareholding between the two parties in order to establish a relationship of interest.

This is actually a cooperative relationship with limited trust, in order to share the risk and the incentive mechanism to take effect at the same time, which is relatively common in commercial cooperation.

But there is a premise here, that is, there will be no change in controlling rights after the equity replacement.

Hualiu's current shareholding is very clear. Lin Hong alone holds 51% of the shares and enjoys absolute controlling rights, while none of the other seven shareholders hold 7%.

Judging from the current development situation of Hualiu, none of the seven shareholders is willing to sell their shares, and Lin Hong has no plans to transfer or replace them.

Moreover, Hualiu is not a listed company, and there is no dispersed equity circulating in the market.

The most important thing is that although Huayi is still No.1 in China, they are already on the decline.

"Forget it, Hualiu currently has no plans to go public!"

Lin Hong's resolute refusal was expected by Huang Xiaoming, and he was not surprised at all, because anyone in the industry knows that the development prospects of the two companies are not comparable at all.

"Brother Xiaoming, let me see how far your Huayi's big IP plan has come. Although I don't agree with the equity swap, we still have other ways of cooperation!"
