Chapter 1108: Chatting at the Dinner Table; Disney's Further Solicitation!

Inside the restaurant private room, the environment and atmosphere were undoubtedly completely worthy of the two adjectives of high-end and luxury.

But facing a table full of dazzling Shanghai dishes, there were only three diners; that's right, Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, and Yue Jun.

"Publicly jumping back! Tsk tsk tsk, this brain is really... can't find a more derogatory word to describe it.

I can only sigh, as expected of being raised under the rice flag since childhood, not being a human, just wanting to be a dog." Wang Changtian picked up a piece of white-cut chicken, while chewing, while laughing.

"The Huang, Du, He and others who jumped out before were all expected. But today's one, Heavenly King Liu should be in a hurry to make a cut right now, right?"

Yue Jun teased with words in his words. That place is too small, and the small interpersonal circle leads to this situation, everyone is very familiar, and even formed a dry relative because of cooperation.

Lin Nan on the side didn't interrupt, he was focusing on dealing with the vinegar pork ribs.

His favorite Shanghai dish is vinegar pork ribs, hmm, and eight-treasure duck. He and Liu Qianqian are both carnivores, love to eat meat.

"Lin Nan, don't just focus on eating, chat a few words." Wang Changtian joked with a laugh.

"Chat about what? What is there to chat about, let's just watch. However, speaking of 'cutting', this is really a test of people; because we all know that she has great kindness to him.

But you can also rest assured that the position will definitely be firm; after all, in terms of treatment from above, except for the big brother, it is him.

When he was young, he might have been swayed by the situation at that time, but after that... it has been firm for more than thirty years." Lin Nan said very affirmatively.

He had heard Han Sanping mention it before, that the above intended to let Heavenly King Liu take over the big brother's class when the time comes, and be one of the vice chairmen of the association;

Although it is just a job with a name but no reality, it also represents the recognition from above.

"Hmm, what you said is really not wrong, it is indeed so.

Alright, then let's talk about Wanda's matter while eating." Wang Changtian nodded and took the initiative to change the topic.

To tell the truth, Tudou is profitable; the reason why it can be profitable is that the bulk is advertising revenue; because the market share is high enough, there are enough advertisers, and they are willing to spend money.

And although Wanda wants to transfer its shares to exchange for a huge amount of cash, they are not very willing to take action within the second half of this year; in the final analysis, they are reluctant to give up this year's dividends.

Therefore, this meeting of original shareholders is likely to be notifying Lin Nan and the others of the specific time when they plan to transfer shares; so as to give Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, and Wang Wei a buffer time to prepare, and also let the three parties of Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, and Wang Wei start to solve the corresponding problems as early as possible. Everyone gathers and disperses, not causing trouble for each other!

"What date was the appointment?" After more than half an hour, Lin Nan remembered to ask this question.

After Wang Changtian finished his call with him yesterday afternoon, he immediately went to communicate with Wanda about this matter, and also represented Lin Nan together.

"The morning of the 20th."

"Then the morning of the 20th."

"Lin Nan, there is one more thing. Wanda wants to transfer the original shares in their hands, should we say hello to Tencent and Weibo?

Wanda strictly complied with the original shareholder agreement before, and only revealed the matter of wanting to transfer equity to the three of us." Wang Changtian suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

"Let's have the four original shareholders meet first, and then find a time to say hello to those two families. As for those other small shareholders, don't pay attention to them at all, it's not their turn!"

Eating to eight points full, Lin Nan stopped the chopsticks in his hand and gave his opinion.

In a morning, the news that Director Lin arrived in Shanghai had already spread; but no one in the industry saw his figure, including the actors and staff of the Lin Nan Film Industry system.

And on

Consequently, in the afternoon, in the Chairman's office at Shanghai Film Group, only Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping, and Wang Yong were left drinking tea together.

"You really hit the nail on the head. As of this morning, quite a few filmmakers and crews have already reached out; they want to cancel their Shanghai Film Festival schedules temporarily, or shorten them, appearing only on the red carpet and at the awards ceremony on the final day for the closing ceremony."

Chairman Ren shook his head helplessly and sighed. This was the final film festival of his tenure, yet who could have predicted that a mess would break out right over there.

Under these circumstances, wouldn't most of the filmmakers over there choose to keep a low profile? And those who are fearless are, after all, in the minority. Of course, there are also those who resolutely expose themselves; these are even rarer, but also the most eye-catching.

"Whether those crews and filmmakers are there or not makes no difference. This is an international A-list film festival; the one thing it never lacks is crews and filmmakers," Han Sanping said with a light, indifferent smile.

"Chairman Han's words are spot on. This Shanghai Film Festival won't crash because of the absence of any person or any group of people. If it's meant to be star-studded, it will be star-studded," Wang Yong also smiled.

"I was just thinking about perfection. Now it seems, this is all it can be.

Fortunately, there are an exceptionally large number of foreign film crews competing and coming for promotional exhibitions this year, nearly 20% more than last year. These crews are fully capable of sustaining the scale of the film festival!"

"Since you put it that way, I don't need to guess. I suppose most of the core awards this year are destined for foreign films again, right? Including the top awards?" Hearing this, Han Sanping couldn't help but tease, and Wang Yong echoed him, nodding repeatedly.

Looking at Chairman Ren's reaction, his mouth hung open for a long time, and in the end, only a sigh of emotion escaped him. Well, he had tacitly agreed.

……

By six o'clock in the evening, Lin Nan was already holed up in the hotel; he didn't go out to show his face or have fun, even though Han Jia, Shu Chang, and the others had called him several times.

As for the Magnolia Awards, the red carpet lineup was indeed magnificent. Of course, it was all a group of veteran actors, with no sign of a generational shift, which was very dull.

Just like that, until nearly nine o'clock, the results of the awards ceremony were out.

Sure enough, "Like a Flowing River" was the biggest winner, taking home the Best TV Series Award and Best Director Award……

And when he saw this news update, Lin Nan was also on the phone with Disney.

"No problem. At the end of the month, on the 30th, you can come over, and you will definitely be able to see the finished cut of 'Mulan'.

As for other matters, we'll talk when we meet. Hmm, rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with the Golden Globe and Oscar campaigns afterward.

Of course, the public relations side has to rely on you. I suppose money is the one thing Disney doesn't lack, right? And I happen to make up for your long-standing weakness, which is not having a serious, top-tier film director, hahaha……"

"Lin, you are still as humorous as ever. So, are you really not going to reconsider? Join the Disney family and continue to be partners with Tang Mu?

We can offer you a $100 million signing bonus, a fixed annual salary of $10 million during the contract period, and individual film profit sharing…… You know, these can all be negotiated further……"

"Thank you very much for your kind intentions, but I really don't lack these things right now. Alright, let's stop here. It's already night on my end, and I need to rest. See you later."

"Alright then. Lin, see you at the end of the month."
