Chapter 103: Producer Liu

Lin Nan paid attention to yesterday's fundraising data.

Bazaar announced it on Weibo.

31 million! This number is really neat!

Among them, Jackie Chan alone contributed 15.92 million, accounting for "half the country."

"Over a hundred celebrities and stars, really more than half went to rub the red carpet and rub media exposure!"

This matter cannot be criticized, because donations and bidding are indeed voluntary; you can't force others to take out money.

But it just looks very glaring.

After that multi-color printed evening dress was sent over, it went directly into Liu Yifei's wardrobe.

Next time it appears, don't know when it will be.

Lin Nan hadn't seen what other female stars' wardrobes were like; anyway, Liu Yifei's was quite big, plus the fitting room, it was worth his three bedrooms.

……

"Lin Dao, *Ip Man 2* has wrapped up."

When Yang Shoucheng called Lin Nan to talk about this matter, his tone was angry.

Because of the explosion of *Ip Man 1*, Donnie Yen had one foot into the first tier.

There weren't many famous action stars to begin with, and because Donnie Yen was a Hong Kong actor, he was sought after by many people in the mainland.

Popularity, announcements, endorsements, and scripts all surged.

During the filming period, he frequently asked for leave, rushed to other sets, and ran announcements; this situation led to *Ip Man 2* dragging on until now to wrap up.

Lin Nan admired Yang Shoucheng's businessman mentality of putting the project first; he only told him after it wrapped up.

"Meaning this guy is very floaty now?"

"Hehe, once successful, there's a bit of this meaning..." Yang Shoucheng sneered.

"Chairman Yeung, do post-production first, ensure that there are no problems before the film's promotion and release."

Lin Nan thought for a while and replied.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Shoucheng paused, obviously understanding Lin Nan's meaning.

"Lin Dao, don't worry, there won't be any problems before this film is released."

The crew dragged on for so long before wrapping up; the previous budget must have been exceeded.

Lin Nan didn't receive a notification, and the share wouldn't change. The part that exceeded the budget must have been paid for by Emperor Motion Pictures.

Don't look at how generous Yang Shoucheng is when giving jewelry and accessories to female stars, but in this matter, Donnie Yen will definitely be "remembered."

……

The latest box office summary data for *The Founding of a Republic* had already exceeded 300 million.

It looks like reaching 400 million should be no problem.

In the film and television circle, Han Sanping's interviews could be seen everywhere.

In the photos, he was radiant.

Thinking about it, the cost of this film was only 30 million, and now the box office was already over 300 million.

This profit, all film companies in the industry, none were not envious.

Just don't know how much *The Message* can get.

Peter Chan specifically notified Lin Nan that they were preparing to hold the premiere at the Beijing Film Academy.

In terms of scale, it definitely couldn't compare to *The Founding of a Republic*.

Huayi's artists basically all came. Quite a few actors and directors in the industry were also invited to come and support.

Lin Nan and Tian Zhuangzhuang sat together.

"Any new play arrangements?"

"Yes."

Lin Nan won the Golden Lion, and as his mentor, Tian Zhuangzhuang was equally honored.

"Realistic subject matter or?"

"Commercial film, the script is almost done, can choose actors later."

Within a year or two, Lin Nan wasn't prepared to shoot award-chasing films again. The great era of the film and television industry was coming.

"Mm, very good.

I'm just afraid that you, like some of us, won the three major gold awards and lost yourself; that would be bad instead."

Tian Zhuangzhuang nagged.

Not only was it hard for Lin Nan to answer, but the people around him, Gu Changwei, Zhang Jingchu, and others, also pretended not to hear.

These two days, Director Chen took *Forever Enthralled* to sign up for the Oscars again...

On the screen, the main feature of *The Message* began to play, production party: Lin Nan Film Industry, Huayi Film Industry...

This film was much more oppressive than *The Founding of a Republic*, but it was also a fine tribute film.

……

……

Starlight Splendid held a screening for *The Legend of Sun Zi*, and the invitation was sent to all film and television companies in the industry.

Yue Jun went on behalf of Lin Nan Film Industry.

"How is it?"

"The picture and sound effects are very good, it's just the plot..."

"Did they add quite a few fictional characters and fictional plots, and the historical research is extremely imprecise?"

Lin Nan asked tentatively. Historical subject matter for supporting people, the shortcomings must be these.

"Yes, but heard the copyright has already been sold to Japan."

This point is really true; Japan likes this kind of domestic film and television works, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms...

Lin Nan began to speed up, perfecting his script.

On the other side, Huayi picked a good day and officially submitted an application for listing on the Growth Enterprise Market.

At the same time, the prospectus also announced the existing list of shareholders, involving a large number of celebrities and stars in the industry.

Lin Nan also paid attention to it.

Huayi artists have a limit of 1.8 million shares, obviously not including Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Jizhong.

These two, one had 2.88 million shares, one had 2.16 million shares.

Lin Nan's figure of 8 million shares was very eye-catching when hung there.

Among the artists, only Huang Xiaoming bought the full 1.8 million shares; sometimes have to admit, Sect Leader really has that life.

Ranking second was Zhou Xun, who was pointed out by Lin Nan several times, with 1 million shares.

Li Bingbing and Ren Quan only had a few hundred thousand shares...

The media unanimously favored Huayi.

"Huayi is expected to become the first domestic film and television entertainment company listed domestically..."

"Main business segment, Huayi's profitability is extremely dependent on Feng Xiaogang..."

"Lin Dao Nan, holding a large number of Huayi original shares!"

……

In Wang Zhonglei's view, the act of "tricking" Lin Nan into buying Huayi stocks was very wise.

Now the benefits were already obvious.

"Lin Dao, the audit has been passed, we will be fully listed in the latter part of next month."

Wang Zhonglei specifically came to greet Lin Nan; the addition of this Golden Lion director was only good for the stock price.

"Okay, looking forward to Huayi's stock soaring."

"Haha, borrow Lin Dao's auspicious words..."

Although at the beginning, both had their own thoughts, but at this moment, the goals were the same.

……

The box office growth of *The Founding of a Republic* had reached the last leg, but looking at this situation, it still had some impact on the first-day box office of *The Message*.

The latter reported 12 million on the first day; for *The Message* with a medium investment scale, this was already a very dazzling figure, as long as it didn't compare with *The Founding of a Republic*.

Box office plus copyright, making money with this film was no problem.

Driving the car, Lin Nan returned to the villa.

He found the gate was open, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yifei sitting in the living room.

A group of cats and dogs surrounded the girl, quite harmonious; they were now used to having two "homes."

"I was just let out, and I was discovered by you."

Lin Nan looked at the script in Liu Yifei's hand and said with a smile.

"Is this the movie to be filmed later?"

"That's right, in the company's subsequent projects, there is this movie."

Liu Yifei should have just started reading, hadn't finished flipping through it.

"Then I have to take a good look, see if there's a role suitable for me..."

"Mm, up to you.

But why only look at the role, not consider the producer?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Liu Yifei instantly raised her head to look at him.

On her face was first joy, then she frowned again, some hesitation.

"But I've only started learning for a short time, what if I mess it up?"

"With me covering the bottom, what are you afraid of? Actors and producers don't conflict. No matter how you read self-study, can it compare to directly producing a movie?"

Liu Yifei nodded; she felt that what Lin Nan said made sense.

"Then, then I'll try? Hee hee..."

"Mm, just take this play to practice. When Lu Yang comes back, I'll introduce you."

Liu Yifei nodded; if it were a movie directed by Lin Nan, she would absolutely not be a producer; if she messed it up, she would feel very guilty.

Of course, if the director was someone else, then it didn't matter...

Liu Yifei remembered the "experience" Xing Aina gave her at the beginning of the year, and her eyes instantly became firm.

"This producer, I'm determined to be!"

Lin Nan was startled; why was she suddenly so imposing, and her eyes were a bit cold? He didn't seem to say anything wrong?

…………

The National Day long holiday began.

The daily box office of *The Message* broke through to over 20 million, and the total box office of *The Founding of a Republic* reached 380 million.

The latter was only 60 million away from refreshing *The Martian*'s record.

Han Sanping was even more excited and even called Lin Nan.

"Haha, after the National Day holiday, this box office record might be *The Founding of a Republic*'s."

"Then I have to congratulate you..."

Han Sanping never concealed his personality of loving to boast, but this loving to boast was the commendatory kind, not derogatory.

"When the celebration party is held, you come too; no matter what, it was obtained from your hands."

Lin Nan was speechless in his heart. So certain?

If it's short by a little, it will be very painful when the face is slapped!

……

Quite a few people called, making Lin Nan a bit confused.

"Lin Dao, Yifei is going to be a producer? What movie?"

"Are you two opening a husband-and-wife shop? Still short of actors?"

"Lin Dao, are you going to open a new film?"

……

Lin Nan went to flip through Liu Yifei's Weibo and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Looking forward to the feeling of being a producer for the first time. In the future, please call me Producer Liu. Hee hee."

The full text of the Weibo only had these two sentences. Mm, and it was accompanied by a photo of her smiling and holding a kitten.

For these people who came to ask Lin Nan, his unified reply was that it would be announced after the project was established later.

The news that Liu Yifei was going to be a producer was confirmed from Lin Nan's side.

For a group of actresses born in the 80s, this was a bit of a big blow.

How many people were still wandering outside the film circle, and Liu Yifei was already going to try to be a film producer.

"Different people, different lives, we can only be envious..."

"Isn't it just..."

……

Many companies in the industry knew that the movie Liu Yifei could use to "practice" could only be produced by Lin Nan Film Industry.

It was still a new movie that hadn't been made public!

People who had ideas all popped up.

When Lin Nan called Liu Yifei, she was actually with Xing Aina.

Listening to that meaning, Xing Aina had also been self-studying production for the past half year or a year; this was good, finally had a companion. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
