#1226 - A half-true and half-false cinema plan; a "painful and joyful" experience
The bank's response was indeed faster, more accurate and more drastic than that of the relevant departments. In less than 20 hours, it submitted a request for property preservation to the court.
The goal was clear and to the point, which was to directly target the more than 1.2 billion yuan in deposits that Boss Jia left for his wife and children before he fled, as well as a large number of jewelry and luxury items including several properties...
This was the hot news on the morning of the 6th that attracted much attention from the film and television industry and the entire Internet.
As expected, LeTV’s bankruptcy is LeTV’s business. No matter how much foreign debt it owes, how many people it has caused to lose their fortunes, or how many actors and stars it has deceived, the boss will never be poor!
"It's good now. The exclusive film and television copyrights owned by LeTV will never be sold. I guess they will have to rely on the various income from these things to pay employees' salaries.
Speaking of which, Wang Wei has always been determined to do something evil, but at this point, he can do nothing about it. Between lingering on and being completely finished, Zhang Zhao and the others know the difference and will not make a fool of themselves. "
Wang Changtian made a special trip to Tiangong Colors. He was in high spirits recently and was also in high spirits when talking about gossip.
After all, the stock prices of Tudou and Guangguang Media are both on the rise, so naturally people are in high spirits.
"Mr. Wang, please get down to business. How is the release of Wolf Warrior 2 going?" Lin Nan asked Wang Changtian while watching the edited footage of himself pole dancing.
Right now, the most important thing is the release of Wolf Warrior 2. The objective conditions of right time, right place, and right people are hard to come by, and we cannot relax even a little bit.
When it came to business, the smile on Wang Changtian's face suddenly disappeared, and his brows slightly wrinkled:
“Guangzhou Film Group and Shanghai Film Group have done their best, but among the films released in the same period, there are still some that have considerable influence and appeal.
So the current situation is that the major domestic cinema chains are basically divided into three camps: Wanda, Shanghai Film Group, and Dadi Cinemas are the leaders, and they will give us high-profile screenings from day one;
Cinema chains led by China Film Group and Polybona Film Group prioritized The Founding of an Army, as their combined market share is not small.
As for the last part of the theater chains, they are represented by Jinyi Cinemas and New Film Association. They promised to give "Wolf Warrior 2" a normal screening schedule because they also have to take care of popular movies such as "Eternal Love".
But they also promised that starting from the day after the release, they would adjust the schedule flexibly based on the trends of the film market and the reviews and attendance of many films in the same period, respecting the market and the box office interests!"
To be honest, after hearing this result, Lin Nan was already very satisfied.
After all, looking back, mainstream commercial films with military themes have never received such high-standard treatment, especially the personal heroism in our country!
You have to know that due to the general environment, public intellectuals always criticize domestic films and lead the trend, artificially creating an atmosphere of public opinion at the cultural level that blockbusters with personal heroism can only be produced by Hollywood, and the rest are all inappropriate!
“It’s already very good that it has been released to this extent. In a word, Wolf Warrior 2 is at the forefront of the trend; we just need to seize the opportunity, and the results will not be low,” Lin Nan said solemnly.
"Guangzhou has been engaged in the distribution business for many years. To date, my biggest feeling is that as the market becomes more and more prosperous, the voice of cinema chains has become increasingly stronger.
For a long time in the past, theater chains had to curry favor with distributors and film producers, just like Zhang Weiping could use Zhang Yimou to threaten theater chains again and again;
What about now? It’s completely the opposite. We need to curry favor with the theaters and ask them to schedule films. And it’s foreseeable that this situation will continue to be the same and will get worse and worse…”
Wang Changtian changed the subject and began to sigh with inexplicable emotion, but he was more jealous.
“The cinema chains are quite happy. After paying 8.3% of the total box office revenue of a movie to the special fund and additional taxes, they will take 57% of the remaining portion.
Moreover, the box office share is only a small part of the profit, popcorn, snacks and drinks are the big part... just sitting there and collecting money, it's a sure win." Lin Nan took over the conversation and echoed with a sigh.
"It's too late. It's too difficult to enter the market now. The cost is terribly high. If I had known this would happen, I should have entered the market around the millennium. Even when Guangguang started making movies, it wasn't too late then..."
Wang Changtian cursed at himself, and then looked at Lin Nan for some reason:
"I remember you said before that you were interested in a cinema chain. But with the current land prices and market conditions, I'm afraid your intention will always remain just an intention."
"Intention? No, I'm already planning it. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll probably get the license first... Well, then I'll open one or two IMAX giant-screen theaters as flagships and templates, so that people can get familiar with the theater business for a while..."
For the first time, Lin Nan told others about his actual plan in a joking tone, half true and half false.
…
The first hit work in the second half of the year was born - "The Advisors Alliance".
As the first part of a two-part series, the most outstanding character is Cao Cao.
Yu Hewei's Cao Cao impressed countless audiences inside and outside the circle as well as on the Internet, and received almost no negative reviews.
He successfully created a brand new Cao Cao, different from any other "villain" on the screen before.
Especially the scene at sunset: he held a banquet for all his ministers, recounted his achievements and failures over the past few decades, and then, when he was old, he drank and danced heroically. It was the highlight!
Therefore, Youku really won the bet on this drama. Moreover, they also bought one hot search after another to add fuel to the fire, which really brought in a lot of new traffic.
“The fan base for popular IPs is primarily composed of Internet users, so it is not wrong to increase investment in promotion on Internet platforms.
Besides, it is already the Internet age, and the active position for publicity and promotion should be here, because almost all the audiences are netizens! "
Zhang Qiang spoke in a sharp and confident tone as he gave instructions on the publicity and promotion of "Eternal Love".
There is less than a month left before the film is released. As the first film produced exclusively by Alibaba Pictures, it is of great significance and importance.
"Boss Zhang, the finalized script of Kung Fu has been delivered."
"Just take it to the Film Bureau for review, and send a copy to Mr. Ma. It's your first time acting, so you have to read the script carefully, right?"
Zhang Qiang paused for a moment, then laughed and joked. But the secretary seemed hesitant, as if there was something else going on.
"Anything else?" he asked, looking at the secretary.
"The group called and said that the China Securities Regulatory Commission sent a formal letter asking us to cooperate in the inquiry into Wanjia Culture. Mr. Zhang, you may have to miss the press conference for Eternal Love tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang's face darkened immediately, "Isn't it almost resolved?"
"It was caused by the incident at LeEco. The PR department said that a small fine may not solve the problem, and there is a high probability that Director Zhao will be banned from the financial market... The group is worried that she will make a scene..."
"Okay, I'll go again." Hearing this, Zhang Qiang's expression changed again, this time it was much more serious.
…
When leaving the company at around five in the afternoon, Lin Nan heard a piece of gossip in the circle: the film review of Feng Xiaogang's "Youth" was rejected by the Film Bureau for the third time this afternoon.
This is a very rare thing among the film works of many well-known directors in the mainland.
Especially since Feng Xiaogang's previous film had just won a major award abroad at the end of September last year. The comparison of treatment at this moment is undoubtedly a slap in his face.
Fortunately, Xiao Gangpao and Mr. Lou are different. The former is just furious and curses in private. The latter is very likely to expose the "suppression" he has suffered to the international stage...
"Has it been filed?"
"The project promotion poster I just saw was issued by Louye Company. It looks like the filming will start in December."
"The Lyceum Theatre!
When I invited Gong Li to star in Marriage Story in the first half of last year, she was obsessed with this movie. Lou Ye told her that the filming would start in the second half of last year at the earliest, but in the end, it was delayed to the end of this year!"
Lin Nan originally came to Han Jianu's studio to pick up Liu Yifei, but as soon as he arrived, he heard the news that Lou Ye's new film project had been launched, and along with it, the casting announcement for the heroine was also announced.
I have to say, no matter how you look at it, in the eyes of the industry, this is an award-winning film by a big director; the lineup of this director and the core heroine is undoubtedly aimed at an A-level film festival - top resources!
"My dad said that Director Lou has long fallen behind and has ideological problems. As a film director, and a non-commercial film director, he is too utilitarian and would even give up his bottom line for external awards. This kind of director is unlikely to win big awards, and his circle will become smaller and smaller in the future."
Han Jianu handed a list of cast members to Lin Nan, repeating Han Sanping's evaluation of Lou Ye.
"What specific date is scheduled to start next month?" Lin Nan asked after glancing at the list.
"After we finalize the full cast list in the next few days, we will start filming on time on the 15th of next month. It's a pity that I can't go to Venice Lido with you guys."
"Don't worry, we will play it back for you." Liu Yifei interjected at the right time with a sweet smile.
…
After seven days of release, "Reverse Time Rescue" was almost dead. As of the evening of the 6th, the total box office closed at 163 million, with a daily revenue of 130,000...
Entries such as "Best Wild Chicken Award at the Houston International Film Festival" and "Best Water Queen at the Houston International Film Festival" were clearly listed on the hot searches on Weibo on the morning of the 7th!
It cannot be denied that this will most likely have a certain negative impact on the upcoming film version of "Eternal Love".
So, in less than an hour, the large number of negative terms and hot search topics disappeared completely. People in the industry don't need to guess that Alibaba Pictures took action.
At the same time, "Secret Fruit", starring Chen Feiyu, the son of director Chen Da, which had been recommended and praised by dozens of first- and second-tier actors in the entire film and television entertainment industry, was officially released.
It’s just a bit regrettable. It seems that the theaters are not willing to give face to Director Chen like the actors and stars in the film and television industry.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan, who had originally planned to rest at home for the morning, was woken up by a phone call. He had to prepare some funds again.
Because ByteDance is going to conduct its E round of financing on August 1, it plans to sell 9% of its shares and raise US$2 billion.
That’s right, it has been less than six and a half months since Lin Nan joined ByteDance’s shareholder camp, and the latter’s market valuation has soared from US$11 billion to US$22.2 billion!
For Lin Nan, this was simply a "painful and joyful" experience.
Because he will have to go through this process many times in the future, where he will have to inject capital to ensure that his shares will not be diluted.
But we have to admit that the speed at which the market value of the shares he held was skyrocketing was truly frightening; in just six months, it had increased by nearly US$350 million!
"Let's not talk about Cao Guowei. Weibo and ByteDance are completely incompatible now. They are almost fighting each other. As for the red-robed leader of 360, I'm afraid he must be regretting it to death, right?"
The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more interesting it became, mainly because Zhou Hongyi was a money-hungry person.
Huayi.
Feng Xiaogang has given up and he doesn't want to try anymore, nor does he dare to try anymore.
Because today is already July 7th, there are only less than 3 months left until the end of September. During this period, we still need to do a good job of distribution and publicity, and we can't afford to delay.
"Director Wang, please ask Bayi Film Studio, Emei Film Studio, and Huaxia Film Studio for help. I can make some changes to the finished film, but this time we must get the permission for the public screening."
"You should have let it go a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on until now. It was sent for review three times and rejected three times. People are saying all kinds of things."
Wang Zhonglei interrupted Wang Zhongjun and angrily "criticized" Feng Xiaogang.
The latter's behavior has caused a lot of pressure on the publicity department. Ye Ning has been sarcastic several times. Feng Xiaogang had given Ye Ning a cold shoulder before, and now Ye Ning is also returning the favor.
"Why are we talking about this now? Don't we still have time? The film review and film promotion can be done at the same time without delaying either.
Xiaogang, you should prepare to take people to promote the company. Lao Er, go contact those three companies and solve the review issue.”
Wang Zhongjun played the role of the bad guy with ease and took control of the situation. Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei nodded and accepted the task.
"By the way, what's going on with Fan Bingbing recently? I heard that she seems to have accepted a role in Cao Baoping's new movie?"
“It’s not like she has accepted the film, but Cao Baoping has contacted her and expressed interest.
But this intention seems to be unsafe, because it has been spread in a small circle that Zhou Xun is trying to steal someone, so today she made an appointment with Cao Baoping...
From what she said, the script is indeed a good one, a realistic theme that is worthy of winning awards, and it would be a pity to miss it.”
