Chapter 344

The vast majority of actors, stars, and industry insiders in the film and television circle were stunned by the news on the internet.

Unbelievable, is there really an artist who would choose to leave Shanhai Media?

Backed by a big tree, resources are not lacking, and the future is flat; is this not satisfying enough?

The news of Yang Mi's contract with Shanhai Media expiring and not renewing spread rapidly throughout the entire film and television circle, entertainment circle, media, and the internet.

It almost instantly became a topic of heated discussion for everyone and the focus of attention in the circle.

In the eyes of many peers, it was Lin Nan's big heart that easily let go of a first-line actress.

But it also shows that Lin Nan doesn't care about so-called first-line stars, because the company's profit has never relied on artist management.

Shanhai Media can not care about a first-line actress with high commercial value, but other companies are different.

The head of the Four Little Dan actresses, the female lead of a 500 million box office film, high commercial value, and several well-known films and hit TV drama resumes; this is Yang Mi's current confidence.

In the eyes of other companies, Yang Mi is completely a sweet pastry; whoever can sign her will make a lot of money, picking up Lin Nan's leak!

In just half a day, a large number of management companies or film and television companies in the industry began to contact Yang Mi and Ceng Jia one after another, taking the initiative to extend an olive branch.

"Is she crazy? How many artists outside dream of signing with Shanhai Media."

"Leaving Shanhai Media, is she afraid of becoming a living target? The head of the Four Little Dan actresses, isn't that a very good stepping stone? There won't be few actresses in the circle who want to step on her to get up, especially those with companies behind them, what means might be used..."

"This, in the future, can she still have so many high-quality film resources?"

"Support Mi Jie's choice, there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end, the next stop is better!"

Fans have a lot of thoughts, and there are those who are optimistic or pessimistic, opposed and supportive.

And the actors and artists in the circle are also discussing, suspicious, watching the fun, and even gloating, wanting to take her place, all of which are everywhere.

"Good thing, this is the best news I've heard in months."

Cai Yinong said with a sneer. There are definitely not a few in the industry who have the same thoughts as her.

In the past, when pulling and stepping on opponents for their own artists, especially when choosing Yang Mi, they had to be cautious and hesitant.

Later... no need.

Yue Jun said on Weibo that he would not reply later, but media reporters still ran to the company to block the door, and Yue Jun could only deal with it.

Lin Nan's phone also didn't stop, all asking if the company and Yang Mi had fallen out, and asking if they needed help to block...

"Block what block? It's just a normal contract expiration and non-renewal. They have big hearts and want to be bosses themselves..."

Lin Nan was convinced by people like Wang Changtian and Ye Ning; good intentions are good intentions, but they asked him if he wanted to block her as soon as they came up, as if Lin Nan was a bully.

"Want to be a boss yourself? Um, the career planning is good, she's an ambitious one. Also knows that being an actor can't achieve class promotion. Okay, since there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Um, Chairman Wang, see you later."

Lin Nan smiled speechlessly, threw away his phone, and finally dismissed these people.

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, and others, Yue Jun also notified them early, saying that Yang Mi and the company have nothing to do with each other from now on.

But Lin Nan Pictures will not be like some companies in the industry, requiring them not to associate with artists who have left the company; friends and work can be separated.

"Mi Mi, I'm going to announce it to the outside world, otherwise there will be a large number of invitations sent over, wanting to sign you."

"Um, send it, this is our new beginning."

Yang Mi said confidently.

The head of the Four Little Dan actresses, plus the box office of "Sleepless in Seattle", in these two months, her worth has skyrocketed a lot.

From the top-level actresses, she is only missing three things: stable high box office, top awards, and becoming capital.

"These, I will realize them one by one." Yang Mi muttered.

In the afternoon, Ceng Jia issued a Weibo post on behalf of Yang Mi and herself.

"Thank you to the many film and television and management companies in the industry for their favor and love for Yang Mi. Here we reply uniformly:"

"In the future, Yang Mi's work will be carried out in the name of 'Jiaxing Studio'. For all business dealings, please contact the studio. The following is the detailed address and phone number of the studio..."

Once the Weibo post came out, many people in the circle immediately went to check this studio.

Subsequently, the entire film and television circle suddenly realized.

Ceng Jia is the legal representative, and Yang Mi is one of the three shareholders!

Before, only a small number of people guessed that they might open a studio; now it is proven that this small number of people are right.

It turns out Yang Mi left Shanhai Media just to go it alone, wanting to be a boss herself!

However, there are many optimistic and pessimistic voices in the circle and on the internet.

"All want to learn from Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Xun, but those few have accumulated works for many years, or have Huayi stocks, and have extensive connections, occupying the right time and place, so they successfully promoted to capital, and now hold multiple identities."

"But most actors' studios are in a state of dying struggle, a small workshop model, not as good as staying in the original company."

"What does Yang Mi have to be a boss? This studio is empty. If going it alone is for unrestrained freedom, then I didn't say anything."

"Now the salary is constantly soaring, with her commercial value, as long as she takes more plays and brings more people, she can sooner or later make the studio bigger and stronger, and then upgrade to a company and continue to raise funds..."

The news of Yang Mi opening a studio with her manager again made the headlines.

And at this time, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which had been released for a full month, was also officially taken off the screen.

Media reports began to screen.

"Directed by Zhou Xingchi, 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons' successfully finished its run, with a total box office of 1.245 billion, regrettably losing to 'Lost in Thailand', ranking third on the Chinese film box office list."

"The film's investors can reach about 500 million in box office sharing in the mainland market. Huayi will be the biggest beneficiary, enjoying 70%."

The invitation for Huayi to hold a celebration banquet for the film has been sent throughout the film and television circle.

A "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", just the box office sharing, allowed Huayi to earn back all the losses of the previous few films, and there was a surplus.

This result made the vast majority of film production companies that participated in the New Year slot and Spring Festival slot and lost money feel extremely envious.

Although March has not passed half, among the group of domestic films that can be named, there is only one left.

"Produced by Lin Nan Pictures, directed by Xue Xiaolu, 'Sleepless in Seattle' box office has reached 540 million, and the daily box office has fallen to around 6 million..."

"Imported films such as 'A Good Day to Die Hard', 'Upside Down', 'The Iron Lady', etc., have been released one after another."

"'Resident Evil 5', 'Oz the Great and Powerful', 'Jack the Giant Slayer' and other imported blockbusters will be officially released in the middle and late of the month."

The film circle can see that the Spring Festival slot is over, and it is time for domestic films to be in a difficult situation again.

Originally, Lin Nan didn't intend to go to Huayi's celebration banquet in person, but the Film Bureau seemed to attach great importance to it, and many leaders would be present; maybe it was because this film was a co-production.

So Lin Nan went for a turn, while Liu Yifei was too lazy to move and was still sleeping.

On the scene, looking at it, it was called lively.

Third-tier, second-tier, first-tier, small companies, big companies, the boundaries of different circles are distinct.

Those who are constantly walking around with wine glasses are always the subordinates and those with thoughts.

Several state-owned enterprises and big companies in the industry, Wang Changtian of Enlight, Yu Dong of Bona, Tan Hong of StarMe, etc., not one is missing, all are there.

These people are not here for Huayi's face, but for Zhou Xingchi.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" once again proved that Zhou Xingchi is a box office guarantee. Isn't it, Huayi ate enough at once!

"Lin Dao."

"Lin Dao."

Lin Nan nodded in response all the way and walked to Wang Changtian's side.

"You're late, Director Tong just left."

"This, the treatment is high enough?"

Lin Nan said in surprise; he originally thought that at most a few ordinary leaders would come.

"After all, it's a co-production, this film can be used as a banner and pushed out."

Hearing this, Lin Nan understood. Zhou Xingchi is a Hong Kong filmmaker, but he is different from those stubborn factions.

"How is your wall-prying going?"

"What are you saying, we are normal social interactions." Wang Changtian shook his head repeatedly, denying it.

"I understand, it's impossible to succeed once or twice, haha..." Lin Nan laughed.

Just as Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting, the actors of the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" crew were also busy brushing their faces; this is a rare good opportunity, and there are many big companies, big producers, and directors present.

Lin Nan is not interested in several Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, but the mainland ones are a bit interesting.

In media reports, Wenzhang, the godson of Li Lianjie, is always arrogant, isn't he nodding and bowing now, accompanying with a smile. The skill of looking at people to order dishes is also something he can do.

"Um, this should be the most beautiful actress in our crew. The first film is Star Master's film."

Huang Bo joked beside Lin Nan and Wang Changtian; anyway, those Hong Kong and Taiwan women are not there, so he is not afraid of offending people.

"Hello Chairman Wang, hello Lin Dao, I am Tang Yixin, Brother Bo is joking."

Lin Nan nodded; he didn't think Huang Bo was wrong. Those Hong Kong and Taiwan ones are indeed not very good, either their mouths are big or they are selling their chests.

Today should be the first time Lin Nan has communicated with Zhou Xingchi face-to-face.

The other party said something about looking forward to cooperation, and Lin Nan just took it as polite words; the chance of cooperation is too small.

However, Zhou Xingchi's vicissitudes look really can't compare to Liu Dehua, looking like he can be 10 years older than Heavenly King Liu.

The celebration banquet for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ended.

Currently, in the domestic film industry, there are three films with a box office of over 1 billion.

Everyone is full of expectations or confidence for the fourth 1 billion film.

Lin Nan found that Liu Yifei seemed to return to Red Star Dock frequently these two days.

Don't know if there is another public appearance, or if a new brand has come to find her.

Just like this, two or three days passed.

Yue Jun ran to the floor of Tiangong Color in a hurry, with... a gloating expression on his face?

"What good thing did you encounter?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

"Hahaha, big excitement, it's noisy outside, Lin Dao, take a look quickly."

Tiangong Color is a group of science and engineering men, and they don't care about gossip during working hours, so Lin Nan is really a bit confused.

He opened the entertainment information, and the next second his eyes widened.

I saw the enlarged and bold headline hanging on the headline of the film and television entertainment section.

"Yesterday, cups and dishes were intertwined, today they are in court - Zhou Xingchi sues Huayi, demanding 80 million in box office sharing!"

This is really big news in the industry, because Zhou Xingchi and Huayi both have a pivotal position in the film circle.

This time it is a clear-cut fight.

Zhou Xingchi said it very clearly:

"A few days before New Year's Eve, I had already discussed the agreement with Huayi General Manager Wang Zhonglei."

"Once the film box office exceeds 500 million, Zhou Xingchi, as the director, will receive an additional 80 million in box office sharing, but Huayi went back on their word, refused to acknowledge the agreement, and refused to pay the sharing money."

Wang Zhonglei also entered the game directly, and it was a naked satire of tearing off the mask:

"The content mentioned by Mr. Zhou Xingchi was indeed discussed in the email, but the two parties did not sign a formal contract, so it does not have legal effect. We believe the court will judge fairly."

"In addition, everyone knows that Mr. Zhou Xingchi loves money, but I also remind him: a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, don't want money and go crazy, opening your mouth indiscriminately, this will only bring humiliation to yourself and be laughed at..."

Weibo, Tieba, various social platforms, are simply about to explode.

In just one morning, the entire industry, media, and internet were full of this matter.

"The problem now is whether the court recognizes those emails or not. Reasonably speaking, the emails have already stated it very clearly, and both parties unanimously accepted the 80 million incentive agreement."

"But the problem happened to be the time. Because of New Year's Eve, the two sides did not sign a paper agreement, so there was no official seal and signature."

Yue Jun sighed with emotion, Huayi threw Zhou Xingchi's trust under his feet and stepped on it.

"Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Zhang Weiping are really alike, no, much more ruthless than Big Cannon Zhang."

Lin Nan sneered and mocked:

"Profiting from others' misfortune, it's quite decisive! To be more appropriate, it's short-sighted. For 80 million, completely offend Zhou Xingchi. With Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal, isn't it worth 80 million?

Also verbally attacking others for loving money, who doesn't love money, don't they? If they don't love it, can they black out this 80 million?"

Yue Jun nodded, indeed so.

"This lawsuit, speaking of which, is simple and clear; it's just looking at whether those emails count. It is estimated that the result will come out in a few days."

Many film production companies in the industry were excited; they were thinking about how to pry the wall a few days ago.

Isn't it, Huayi sent everyone an opportunity!

"Enlight does business, it has always been a spit and a nail; what is said is water splashed out..."

"Bona has not yet had any incidents of mistreating partners, looking forward to cooperating with Star Master."

Yu Dong is also shameless, as if he forgot about dragging the box office sharing of New Picture, and it was dragged for one or two months.

"StarMe looks forward to cooperating with Director Zhou Xingchi in the future..."

The internet is overwhelmingly scolding Huayi, but morality and law are sometimes contradictory.

Liu Yifei finally waited for Lin Nan to return, and the sad look was another kind of beauty.

"You finally came back, it gave me a headache."

Lin Nan looked at her appearance, and it really felt like Lin Daiyu.

"I can't cure diseases. Headache, did Auntie scold you again?"

Lin Nan joked. In the past, after Liu Xiaoli finished criticizing Liu Yifei, the latter would be like this, listless.

Earlier, when she was still in school, she would secretly call Lin Nan to complain about her mother.

"It's not that. I got a script, I think it's okay, but the people in the company all advised me not to invest."

"Looking for you to act? What film?"

Lin Nan asked with a smile, sitting beside Liu Yifei, a bit curious.

"It's not acting. Oh, Xie Nan asked me to invest. I studied it for a few days, and now I'm struggling, headache."

Liu Yifei moved her buttocks, found a comfortable position, and leaned on Lin Nan.

"Yo, she also wants to be a director, not a host anymore?"

Lin Nan didn't think much, and subconsciously complained.

"It's not that. Oh, I'll bring the script, you'll know when you see it."

Speaking, Liu Yifei got up and wanted to go back to the other villa to get the script.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Nan said with a smile.
