That year Huayu

The business Han Sanping mentioned on the phone was indeed business, not a small matter.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan drove to China Film Academy alone.

"Director Lin, Director Han is still busy, please come with me."

"good."

Lin Nan followed the people from China Film and Television and walked all the way to the conference room area.

This road looks a bit familiar.

When we got to the place, it looked even more familiar.

Last year, it was in this conference room...

Lin Nan walked in, and there was already someone inside, who came earlier than him.

"Director Wang?"

"Here you go, sit down quickly."

Old God Wang Changtian said on the ground, pointing to the position next to him.

The receptionist brought the tea and fruit bowl in and apparently asked the two of them to wait.

"What's going on? You didn't explain it clearly to me on the phone." Lin Nan asked directly.

"You'll know soon, this time it's a tough battle."

Wang Changtian looked mysterious and smiled at Lin Nan. He was really pretending!

OK. Lin Nan didn't ask any questions, so he just ate the fruits and waited.

After a while, people started arriving one after another.

Wang Zhonglei of Huayi;

Yu Dong of Bona;

The beautiful Tan Hong.

In addition, there are Feng Xiaogang, Lu Chuan, Liu Weiqiang, Wang Jing, Xu Ke...

There was an endless stream of greetings, and all the nastiness of the past seemed to have been temporarily put aside.

Lin Nan seemed to understand a little bit.

After everyone sat down, Han Sanpingzhen was the last one to walk in. After sitting down, he looked at Lin Nan and said with a smile:

"Lin Nan, although your company does not do distribution, after some discussion among us, we still feel that you cannot be left out."

"Yes, Director Lin's company cannot be spared, and the weight is not light."

Wang Zhonglei gave Lin Nan a compliment with a facial expression smile.

At this time, Lin Nan had scanned everyone present and confirmed his inner thoughts.

These people are either directors or producers of Lunar New Year movies.

Except for Lin Nan himself, the five companies present have one thing in common: they are all issuers!

Lin Nan smiled unconsciously and boarded the "thief ship". No, he and these people should be in the same camp!

Seeing Lin Nan's expression, Wang Changtian knew that he had guessed it.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Zhang Dapao."

Han Sanping said something dirty directly, and everyone laughed along with him.

"Thanks to him for causing trouble last year. We have raised the issue of reforming the division of accounts to the superiors several times, but unfortunately, the bureau just can't make a decision, saying it involves too much."

"This year we will not let the production industry take over. Let us, the five major distribution companies, come. We only had this intention before. Today we are sitting here to discuss it."

…

Lin Nan finally understood now that he was going to put pressure on theaters again, this time with a more powerful distribution company taking the lead.

After all, the production industry is upstream, and theater chains are downstream. Distribution companies, as middlemen, are more powerful for downstream theater chains.

Because there are a lot of movies distributed by them, these are the lifeblood of the theater chain.

The reason why Lin Nan was called over was because he was special.

Lin Nan Pictures is a leading domestic production company with high production and profit, making it a favorite among theaters.

And he himself is the most capable commercial film director in the film industry.

"We currently have nine Lunar New Year movies in our hands. This is the most direct bargaining chip..."

Han Sanping continued to talk.

Wang Changtian glanced at Lin Nan and smiled sheepishly.

The release of "Lost in Thailand" was done by Lighting, and now it has become a bargaining chip that threatens theaters.

Han Sanping knew that Lin Nan could make the decision, so he simply didn't bother to call Xu Zheng a "new director."

In addition to "Thailand", there are also eight movies including "1942", "The King's Feast", "Big Shanghai", "The Grandmaster" and "Zodiac", for a total of nine movies.

"The distributor and the producer are one and the same. The more the film producer gets, the more the distributor will make..."

The five companies here are not only distribution companies, but also production companies. This time, some of the battles have been fought.

"Adjusting from 43% to 45%, what Zhang Weiping failed to do last year, our publisher can do it this year."

Generally speaking, the distributor takes the box office share ratio from the producer, and the specific amount is negotiated in advance.

Anyway, Lin Nan's film distribution fees have always been the lowest in the industry.

Either it is 1% of the box office that can be divided, or a certain amount is directly set. Even so, it is still the target of competition.

It seems that everyone here has a very unified opinion, and in less than two hours, a unanimous intention was reached.

"At the end of November, the Lunar New Year season officially begins. We will issue a 'notice' to the theaters in mid-November. At this stage, everyone must keep it confidential."

The meaning of the word "notice" is very simple: not accepting negotiation or giving in, which represents a tough attitude and determination!

…

At the end of the meeting, Lin Nan was teased by Han Sanping:

"I know you and Wanda have a good relationship, but you know what happened this time."

"Oh, I understand, I don't have a big mouth."

Lin Nan sighed and said, "I knew I wouldn't come today."

Wang Changtian laughed heartily on the side, "Let's discuss the matter, it's all business."

…………

After getting in the car, Lin Nan called Liu Yifei.

Shopping is a very simple thing for ordinary girls.

But actresses and female celebrities are different. They are easily recognized, let alone two popular young actresses.

"Oh, it's Changchang who was exposed! Okay, you guys drink coffee first, I'll be right over."

Through the phone, Lin Nan could hear Shu Chang's voice, "It's not me, it's Qianqian..."

The two girls were recognized in the coffee shop, and then they simply drank coffee and read there!

More than half an hour later, when Lin Nan arrived, there were paparazzi outside.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Haha, are you filming in the open?"

Lin Nan glanced at the "Fengxing" sign and joked.

"Director Lin is joking, but you are one of those rare people who doesn't dislike celebrities in our industry."

"I don't object to you taking pictures in public places, as long as you don't get too close."

Lin Nan didn't do anything bad, so he wouldn't worry about being photographed by these people.

…

"Here, I ordered some coffee for you based on my timing. I only added a little bit of sugar."

At this time, there were not many people in the cafe. Even if they noticed a few celebrities, they just watched or took photos from a distance without disturbing them.

Liu Yifei pushed the coffee in front of Lin Nan. It was ordered according to her preferences. In life, she likes to be Lin Nan's boss.

"Oh, you said you asked me to come out to play, but it turned out that I was paying the bill. Please reimburse me."

Shu Chang glanced at Liu Yifei, and complained to Lin Nan in an eccentric manner, with a hint of joking.

"Next time, you call her out and let her pay. Or, in the second half, I will pay the bill?"

"Okay, I'm going to kill the big guy!"

Shu Chang suddenly smiled and then said through gritted teeth.

"Then just pack up and continue shopping."

Liu Yifei stretched her waist, exposing her slender waist. She looked at Lin Nan and said sweetly.

In the evening, photos of Lin Nan shopping with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang appeared on the Internet.

Feng Xing and the others really kept up with them from a distance, and they were not polite at all!

"Director Lin is so miserable. He only has a proper background board and a bag!"

"Why am I a little envious of Director Lin?"

"The one who ran away in the middle? Not only the one carrying the bag, but also the one who swiped the card!"

…

"Are we friends now? Don't the three of you call me now?"

Zhu Yawen's Weibo was posted, and she liked Lin Nan and the others, which attracted many acquaintances in the circle to make fun of her.

"Director Lin's pendant fell off, haha!"

Luo Jin was the first to reply to the message.

…

September is over.

"Passengers" was released for four days, with a box office of 203 million in its first weekend, officially entering the National Day holiday.

The producers of several movies seem to have gained confidence and want to make a comeback during the National Day holiday.

On Huayi's side, "Tai Chi 1" currently only has a box office of RMB 30 million.

Yang Ying personally went into battle, shouting on Weibo that the box office was 400 million, and then posted a declaration of bikini photos. I don’t know what Leader Huang thought.

Zhang Ziyi continues to hype her love life, and her ideal has never changed: to marry her husband and raise her children!

Fan Bingbing even posted a photo of her kissing with the director. What's so good about two women?

"Director Lin, the funding for "New Police Story 2013" has been allocated. Wanda is asking if we would like to send a producer or producer over."

Lin Nan thought for a while and shook his head.

"Forget it, there is no need to spend a lot of time with this small amount of funds. I believe in them."

Lin Nan thought about what happened yesterday again, but ultimately did not tell Yue Jun.

"Zeng Jia has registered a studio and told me specifically today that she hopes that in the future..."

Lin Nan understood the meaning of Yue Jun's words. It must be that Zeng Jia was a little cautious and thought about cooperating with Lin Nan Pictures in the future.

"There is nothing so good in the world. Since you choose to leave, you must be responsible for your own decision.

Once we step out of this door, the relationship between closeness and alienation changes. Our resources must prioritize our own people..."

Lin Nan said without raising his head.

To be honest, he admired Zeng Jia a little. He actually had such an idea. He was a genius.

Lin Nan remembered some of the company's movie plans.

Now that Yang Mi has decided to leave, the roles in these movies will have to be replaced by then.

Zhao Liying should be able to play the roles that Yang Mi can play, and there won't be much conflict between their acting styles.

But when the time comes, we have to talk to Lu Yang and the others.
