Chapter 311: Conclusion

In the entire film and television industry, it seems there isn't a single company that refused Alibaba's summit invitation.

Everyone knows this is a God of Wealth; regardless of their thoughts or motives, everyone came to show their support and make an appearance.

Lin Nan admits that this was the first time he had heard such a "simple and easy to understand" analysis of the film and television industry.

In the mouth of this Boss Ma, it seems everything can be fitted into a formula, including making movies.

He even cited quite a few examples of successful domestic films, leaving many people stunned. Hmm, there's some truth to it!

Sitting next to Lin Nan was Wang Changtian.

"Is Alibaba planning to cross over into this industry?"

"Ever since they started investing in Huayi, they probably had this idea, but they shouldn't be coming in directly for the time being."

Lin Nan voiced his speculation.

Wang Changtian nodded and said nothing more.

Above, Boss Ma was still holding forth, his words resonating.

Pan Yueming's operation here was also very rational; he didn't continue to waste time and energy online refuting or proving his innocence, because he knew it was futile.

The November films are in the midst of intense promotion.

After Yue Jun finished speaking, he added a sentence:

"Those who dare to go directly through legal procedures generally have no problems."

At this moment, the film circle's attention was drawn by Feng Xiaogang's Weibo post.

Lin Nan muttered softly. Perhaps in this person's eyes, the film and television circle would sooner or later be in his pocket.

Wang Changtian and Lin Nan were both a bit surprised; if it were anyone else, they would have already taken their leave or ended the topic by now.

Instead, he chose to directly sue the woman's agent and team: fabricating facts, publicly slandering and insulting, inciting public opinion, cyberbullying...

Starting from November, domestic films will enter a state of chaotic battle; the number of imported films is extremely small, and the most prominent one is *Life of Pi*.

Truly, the less you care, the more others seek you out.

"Chairman Wang, Lin Dao."

"When the authorities make up their minds and start cracking down on piracy, they should all be coming in."

"Already a shareholder of Youku, and still eyeing Tudou? This ambition is indeed huge!"

Yue Jun was right; this is the reality of the circle.

Lin Nan muttered in a low voice, not letting Liu Qianqian hear.

Running to film crews, running to Macau casinos, even senior psychologists and criminal investigation experts have been brought in.

This time, there would actually be zero product placement? Many people found it inconceivable.

This "advertising master" of the industry solemnly announced to the outside world for the first time: "*Back to 1942*, zero product placement."

"According to China Film data, after the Southeast Asian box office settlement, the five domestic production companies can share a box office of 296 million."

You have to know that for *Aftershock* back then, Feng Xiaogang had quite a lot of product placement.

"There are many companies in the circle, and countless projects; a large number of high-quality companies are waiting for Ma Dong to invest."

Lin Nan originally thought that after refusing once, it would be over.

Good fellow, that post of his instantly raised the status, making people unconsciously feel a mental lift.

The final conclusion reached was that the woman's accusations against the man—gambling addiction, huge debts, marital infidelity, etc. —all lacked a foundation and no real evidence could be produced.

"Lin Dao's movie has finally finished its theatrical run. If this continues, other film companies really won't have a way to survive."

"Go to the cinema?" Liu Qianqian asked softly.

Boss Ma was surrounded in the middle, like stars surrounding the moon, looking quite impressive.

To companies in the industry, this was exceptionally glaring.

Saying this really made the production companies' hearts flutter; it's a good thing!

If we go to the cinema, I'm afraid you'll make a fool of yourself and be discovered by other audience members as 'Liu Qianqian', that wouldn't be good, haha..."

"When can Lin Dao's movies try entering the New Year or Spring Festival slots? It should be very exciting."

Lin Nan nodded, pondering something. He is capital, but he is not cold-blooded capital.

But it's a pity, regardless of who is right or wrong in this kind of matter—whether it's the woman maliciously framing him or the man truly being the victim.

"But the projects Lin Dao has initiated several times are currently the highest quality in the film and television circle, aren't they?"

"I have his agent's contact information here. Having helped him this much, their contract renewal should be inevitable."

Capital won't care if you are guilty or if you are a victim.

The morning summit ended, and most of the film and television company bosses, led by Huayi, had already surrounded him.

"Fortunately, it's nothing." Wang Changtian and Lin Nan said in unison.

The agent seems to be called Chen Zhihi, she's a woman, and she handles things quite decisively."

One of the final outcomes will be that both of their careers suffer major blows and impacts."

"The premiere, I suppose. Huayi will send us an invitation."

"When a man's wife wants to get him but has no real evidence, this man's character is trustworthy."

"*Passengers* has officially finished its theatrical run. According to China Film distribution data, the domestic total box office reached 952 million, the second highest on the Chinese film box office list..."

Many people from film companies were already preparing to have a good chat at the banquet after the meeting.

Everyone knows that film and television projects are very expensive, especially big productions. Alibaba is willing to provide investment and participate in film production without interfering with project production and operations..."

Miss Liu asked suspiciously; she hadn't read the original work.

Lin Nan stopped at the point; film resources are definitely prioritized for his own people, but Tudou's web dramas might not be.

In the end, Lin Nan was the one to say it, and Wang Changtian followed with a nod.

Wang Changtian was dazed for a moment, then smiled, "Well said, internet companies are even more afraid of piracy, hehe..."

"What are you saying?" Wang Changtian glanced at Lin Nan.

*Passengers* really couldn't run anymore; a 1 billion box office was absolutely impossible.

The matter between those two seemed to have a glimmer of reversal.

Lin Nan sat in the office, unable to help but tease.

Wang Changtian had an indifferent attitude; he came today just to give this person face, not with any intention of cooperating.

"So what if you have money. Enlight is also a listed company; making movies doesn't need Alibaba's investment. As for you? You need it even less. We are not like those two from Huayi."

"I have no intention of adding partners for the time being; China Film, Wanda, Enlight, as well as Xi'an Film and Ningxia Film—these are enough."

But even so, most people in the circle still stood by the woman's side without hesitation.

Lin Nan couldn't be bothered to move, eating on his own. He came on this trip just to listen to the bragging; he had no other thoughts.

Yue Jun patted his chest, saying with certainty.

After the man posted his own financial details, a large number of media outlets got involved, verifying the woman's accusations against the man one by one.

"Feng Xiaogang has zero product placement, just think about how dedicated he is."

The afternoon summit ended completely, and the media began to report extensively.

Lin Nan hung up Ye Ning's phone and sighed.

"His agent team is quite good; they started working before the renewal contract was even signed.

"We've hoarded so many, we need a large number of actors; you can pay more attention in the future..."

"Alibaba is also actively looking for film and television companies to cooperate with; I wonder if there's a chance?"

Lin Nan chuckled and said.

"I wouldn't. Is this movie very good?"

While suing, he also attached a sentence: "Enduring all along was just to consider the children."

"Hehe, that's fine too. If the company finances or goes public in the future, Lin Dao can say the word. No matter how much money, Alibaba absolutely won't bargain..."

Time flew by, and it was the end of the month.

"How is that person I told you to keep an eye on?"

"When the time comes, I'll take you to see this *Back to 1942*?"

"Didn't say anything, just sighing at how others are rich and powerful."

The Weibo accounts of China Film, Wanda, Enlight, and Lin Nan Film were all posts about *Passengers*.

"That's true, then let's go see the premiere when the time comes." Liu Qianqian nodded and said.

"Finally met someone with a brain, more brains than Yin Xiaotian back then."

"Congratulations to *Passengers* for achieving great box office results. Current interstellar immigration and starships are science fiction, but that doesn't mean the future won't be; the aerospace industry will always shine for the motherland's aerospace cause..."

Didn't expect that the next day, Alibaba would be asking about Tudou; Wanda was quite aggressive, being the first to express their stance, sternly refusing.

The abuser has popularity, so they will use it; no matter how pitiful the victim is, they won't sympathetically give you resources.

"Lin Dao, what are you planning to cooperate with him on? If it's a movie, it would be a bit too wasteful of resources."

Before Lin Nan could politely decline, Wang Changtian spoke up first, the meaning very clear.

Back then with Yin Xiaotian, he was the one who said on Weibo: "Just call the police directly," and only later did they go find the police.

"I will bring tissues for you."

"Ma Dong."

As he spoke, the other person sat down. The others nearby walked away very naturally.

"Invest, don't interfere? And then, take control, do it yourself! Planning slowly?"

Lin Nan looked at Yue Jun and said unexpectedly.

The aerospace industry also rarely issued a notice:

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting happily when a soft call came from the side.

"Alibaba currently has no experience, and won't rashly enter the film and television culture circle, but we have funds.

"The long-term cooperation between Enlight and Lin Dao is something many companies in the film and television circle envy. Chairman Wang from Huayi just mentioned it."

It can only be said, worthy of being in the internet business, is there a firewall installed on the face?

Boss Ma left, leaving Lin Nan and Wang Changtian looking at each other, "Another rich dog."

"Alibaba makes a big move, reaching an intention with several production companies to invest in over a dozen movies..."

Perhaps this is no longer something that can be explained by mouth.

"Makes sense, even the person in the same bed can only rely on framing, it really can explain a lot of things." Yue Jun nodded in affirmation.

After Wang Changtian toasted from afar with a few people, he also sat with Lin Nan, chatting while eating.

"I wonder when Alibaba will completely enter the film and television culture circle? With their scale, once they enter, they will be a behemoth."

Although there are many films, in the eyes of the industry, the only blockbusters worth looking forward to are *Back to 1942* and *Life of Pi*.

Both film parties seemed to tacitly agree with this view, and the promotional movements became even bigger.

However, Lin Nan believes that the subsequent *Lost in Thailand* will definitely surprise these people.
