This director only makes bad movies

Xu Nan received a call from Lin Ziyi.

"Xu Nan, do you have time?"

"Yes, what do you want?"

"Come to the company and let's reallocate the shares."

Lin Ziyi's voice was a little depressed, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Xu Nan's heart moved.

Share allocation?

It’s only April now, three months before the first anniversary of Munan Video’s founding, and the time seems to have not come yet.

certainly.

It’s not even a few months away.

The ending is basically doomed.

There are still two or three months left, unless Lin Ziyi can produce a hit drama like "Horse" during this period, so that she can have a chance to counterattack.

And one is not enough. At least two or three phenomenal TV series like "Horse" are needed to gain an advantage in the share allocation.

But that's obviously impossible.

If Lin Ziyi really had that ability, he wouldn't be able to keep being in the limelight.

It seemed that Lin Ziyi no longer wanted to struggle.

Otherwise, the decision to allocate shares will not be made in advance.

Xu Nan's guess was correct.

Arriving at the company, Lin Ziyi got straight to the point.

"According to our original agreement, each of us has 30% of the shares of Munan Video, and the remaining 40% of the shares will be distributed according to the development of Munan Video."

"For the past six months, the company's development has basically relied on you. I'm just a handyman and I don't have much credit."

"You have taken all the 40% of the shares, and I don't want them anymore."

Although according to the agreement, Lin Ziyi can get about 5% of the shares, she might be able to get more if she works hard.

However, Xu Nan is the soul of the development of Munan Video. She is just a support player.

Be direct.

Munan's video can be done without Lin Ziyi, but it can't be done without Xu Nan.

If she hadn't been able to bring Xu Nan over to start a business together, Munan Video would have gone bankrupt long ago on her own.

Lin Ziyi knew this very well.

Being arrogant, she didn't want to take advantage of Xu Nan, let alone get credit, so she simply didn't want any shares.

In this regard, Lin Ziyi, who comes from a wealthy family, is still very generous.

She knows how to maximize her own interests.

Without shares, not only can Xu Nan be favored, but Xu Nan can also be firmly tied to the chariot of Munan Video.

Only by tying Xu Nan tightly can the value of 30% of the shares in her hands be guaranteed.

"Hey, so generous."

Xu Nan smiled: "It's a bit beyond my expectation."

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "If you don't want to, then we will distribute it according to the original agreement."

"It just so happens that I feel I have few shares."

"Then no need." Xu Nan shook his head: "I have a better distribution plan."

"Forty percent of the shares to be allocated, you take ten percent and I take thirty percent."

"In this way, the shares of Munan Video become four for you and six for me."

"How about it?"

Xu Nan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Ziyi hesitated and said: "Why?"

"I didn't play a big role in the development of the company."

"As much as I hate to admit it, you deserve the most credit for Munan Video being able to develop to this point."

"I don't have a big role."

"Why do you allocate shares like this?"

Xu Nan's expression was serious: "Actually, your contribution is not small."

"At least he is better than me in company management."

"My contribution is in the open, and your contribution is in the dark. It is indispensable."

"So, you deserve ten percent of the shares."

In fact, the reason why Xu Nan was willing to give Lin Ziyi more shares was very simple.

First, Lin Ziyi is good at managing the company. She manages Munan's video in an orderly manner, which complements Xu Nan perfectly.

Second, you can’t do everything you want, and you can’t take advantage of all the benefits. Only by allocating more of the cake to others will others be willing to help you make the cake bigger.

Therefore, Xu Nan made the decision to give Lin Ziyi more shares.

Lin Ziyi thought about it for a moment, then took a deep look at Xu Nan.

"Okay, let's decide."

Xu Nan smiled and said: "Then Munan Video, can we also change its name to Nanmu Video?"

Lin Ziyi's voice was depressed: "You are the boss, you decide."

The two of them finished their discussion.

The next step is to go through the formalities.

Soon, the formalities were completed and Munan Video officially changed its name to Nanmu Video.

At the same time, Xu Nan also persuaded Lin Ziyi to give 20% of the dry shares to the management and some outstanding employees.

Lin Ziyi also agreed.

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi's redistribution of shares did not cause any turmoil because not many people knew about it.

Many people even thought that Xu Nan was the boss of Munan Video and had no idea who Lin Ziyi was.

On the contrary, the fact that Munan Video changed its name to Nanmu Video triggered a lot of discussion.

Munan Video is already a first-line video platform, with nearly 200 million paying members. Most people are already used to the name Munan Video.

As a result, Munan Video suddenly changed its name to Nanmu Video, which made members a little uncomfortable in a short period of time.

"Why did you change your name?"

"I've been using it for half a year, why did I suddenly change my name?"

"That's right, isn't Munan's video quite easy to read?"

"Actually, I have always thought that the name Munan Video is very difficult to pronounce. Now it is much more pleasant to listen to after changing it to Nanmu Video."

"I also thought the name was inexplicable at first, and I made suggestions to the software officials. They didn't reply to me at the time. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that the name was suddenly changed a few months later."

"Haha, you don't mean to say that Munan Video changed its name after listening to your opinion."

"Maybe it's possible that the official had to change the name because too many people raised their opinions."

"I feel that Nanmu Video is more pleasant to listen to than Munan Video. No wonder the name was changed."

Netizens discussed it for a while, and the matter passed naturally.

It's just a name change, nothing to make a fuss about.

A few days later, Xu Nan received a call from Lin Ziyi.

"I have something to tell you. Someone wants to ask you to make a movie."

Xu Nan asked: "Who is it? What do you mean?"

Lin Ziyi said: "Do you know "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry"?"

"of course I know."

"Legend of Sword and Chivalry" is an extremely classic TV series about chivalry. When "Legend of Sword and Chivalry" was aired more than ten years ago, the theaters were packed with people.

Let's put it this way, this TV series is as popular as "The Rush", or even more popular than "The Rush".

Because when "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry" was broadcast, the mainstream entertainment method was watching TV. This TV series is a special classic and is well-known throughout the country.

Three female stars, Mimi, Liu Shishi, and Liu Yifei, became famous thanks to "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry", and they are known as the Three Beauties of Sword and Fairy.

All three female stars relied on this TV series to become first-line stars and have been popular for many years.

But if you rely on it a little, you can understand how influential this TV series is.

Lin Ziyi continued: "Now that you know this TV series, it will be easier."

"The thing is very simple. The TV series "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry" is adapted from the novel of the same name, and the copyright is also in their hands."

"I contacted the game company and wanted to buy the rights to remake it, but they put forward a condition, which is to let you help make a movie about Sword and Fairy."

"So let me ask you what you mean."

"Help make a movie?" Xu Nan pondered.

"That's right." Lin Ziyi said: "Because the other party thinks that only a great director like you can shoot that kind of fairy spirit, especially the kind of fairy spirit and ethereal special effects. They think you are the most experienced and capable in the country." produce the effect they want.”

Fairy spirit!

Special effects!

Xu Nan smiled.

He's really good at this.

but.

"What do you think?"

Lin Ziyi: "I think I can agree."

"Because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a big IP, whether it is made into a TV series or a movie, it will naturally have a large audience."

"If I can get the copyright for the price of a movie, I think it's worth it."

"Of course, it depends on what you mean, I'm just informing."

Xu Nan: "Don't decide in a hurry."

"I want to decide after talking with the other party."

"Okay, I'll help you make an appointment."

A few days later.

A teahouse.

Xu Nan met the person in charge of Dayu Games.

Chen Nantian.

It's a coincidence that both of their names have the character "南" in them.

Maybe this is the so-called fate.

Chen Nantian claims to be under fifty, but judging by his hairline, he may be far beyond that.

The situation of his company Dayu Games is not very good either. This company has developed many classic games, but now it has fallen behind the times.

Some time ago, an online game that Dayu Games invested heavily in failed, and the huge amount of money was wasted.

In desperation, Chen Nantian planned to take out the old IP of Fairy Sword and turn it into a mobile game to bring back some blood to the company.

At the same time, the IP is sold as start-up funds for the project.

Yes, you still need to sell the IP to get start-up funds for the project.

Chen Nantian also had some ulterior motives when he proposed to let Xu Nan make a movie.

Chen Nantian has no worries about selling the TV series rights of "Legend of Sword and Chivalry". After all, this is a national-level IP.

But movies are on another level.

TV shows are free to watch, but movies cost money.

The most important thing is that there has never been a successful Xianxia movie in China.

from! Come! All! without! have! ! !

Ever since a famous director named Xu lost hundreds of millions on a Xianxia movie at the beginning of the century, no one has dared to make a Xianxia movie anymore.

As soon as he heard that Nanmu Video wanted to buy the copyright of Legend of Sword and Chivalry, Chen Nantian's mind immediately became active.

Can we package and sell the film adaptation rights, so that we can get more money?

Although his thoughts were impure, Chen Nantian did not show it.

On the contrary, when Xu Nan arrived, he was talking loudly, advocating both the Legend of Sword and the Legend of Sword and the domestic Xianxia movie.

"Xian is a concept unique to Chinese culture and represents transcendence from the world."

"Xia is also the crystallization of Chinese culture. It represents injustice and justice."

"The combination of immortals and Xia is China's unique Xianxia. Chinese people have seen science fiction movies and superhero movies, but no one has seen a Xianxia movie that is authentic to Chinese culture."

"I'm heartbroken."

When they arrived at the private room, what Xu Nan saw was Chen Nantian talking eloquently in front of Lin Ziyi.

He walked up and said hello.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Xu Nan."

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I've seen your movie, it's very exciting."

"I have also played the games developed by your company, which left a deep impression on me as a child."

After a brief greeting, Xu Nan got straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I already know your conditions. My answer is that the risk of this matter is too great."

Chen Nantian's expression was sincere: "I know the risks are high, but high risks represent high returns."

"Many Chinese people are looking forward to seeing a real and authentic Chinese traditional culture fairy tale blockbuster."

"If we can make a high-quality Xianxia movie, it will definitely be a box office hit."

"Mr. Xu, you are the number one director in the country. Aren't you sad to see the decline of traditional Chinese culture?"

"Seeing the decline of the traditional Chinese cultural concept of Xianxia, ​​don't you want to revitalize it?"

"The audience wants to see a wonderful fairy tale blockbuster, don't you want to satisfy them?"

Xu Nan shook his head decisively: "I don't want to."

Chen Nantian: "."

I can't talk anymore today.
