Chapter 413: Special Effects, Spring Festival Slot

Lin Nan's 1.2 billion directly made Wang Zhonglei stutter.

It also made quite a few bosses of film and television companies around, including directors, feel unbelievable.

They had all treated the 1 billion box office slogan Lin Nan shouted before as a joke; that was just promotion, not to mention the 1.2 billion said at this moment.

Mainstream films, even the mainstream commercial films Lin Nan talked about, couldn't possibly have such a high box office!

"Lin Dao, are you really that confident?" Wang Zhonglei sneered.

"I still have this bit of confidence. Look, just because Chairman Han came to help me play the big villain, I must have this bit of confidence."

Lin Nan looked in the direction of Han Sanping in the distance and said with a light laugh, his tone carrying unquestionable certainty.

"Good, good, then look forward to Lin Dao creating a new record. Chairman Yu, didn't you say you were also interested?"

Wang Zhonglei pulled Yu Dong to step down.

The latter was not a soft persimmon either; he shook his head and started to put eye drops on Wang Zhonglei:

"Bona has a small appetite and is also timid; it can't compare to Huayi's wealth and arrogance, daring to grab distribution business from China Film. Oh right, Chairman La doesn't seem to have come today, what a pity, tsk tsk tsk..."

Wang Zhonglei directly ignored Yu Dong.

The idea for *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* didn't work out, so he looked at Ning Hao again:

"If Director Ning is interested, you can also choose to cooperate with Huayi when the time comes; we will sweep the couch to welcome you."

"I don't like gambling; I'd rather honestly enter the cinema for release, at most choose the sharing model." Ning Hao directly refused.

Lin Nan scanned Wang Zhonglei with some disdain.

Huayi's distribution business hasn't become dominant yet; the capital operation model is closely following Hollywood, and the ambition is not small, even guaranteed distribution has been sorted out, but I don't know which production company will fall first.

"Director Ning doesn't have this idea, then forget it; come, everyone raise your glasses and clink one, wish Chairman Han..."

Not long after, Han Sanping walked over with Han Jia'nu.

This should be the first time Lin Nan was toasted by Han Sanping, and it felt very unreal.

He discovered one thing: the wine in Han Sanping's glass really entered his stomach; he is worthy of being a leader tested by alcohol!

And that half glass of wine of Han Jia'nu, after a turn, it was still half a glass at first glance, at most sipped a tiny bit; she was taken care of by Han Sanping to the extreme, a biological daughter!

"In the future, I have to trouble everyone to take care of Jia'nu more..."

"It should be, Chairman Han."

"Chairman Han is too kind."

Around eleven o'clock in the evening, this wine banquet was considered to have ended successfully.

Today, not a single person left early, because this was Han Sanping's official "departure" banquet.

Regardless of how many people had opposed Han Sanping in the past, or cursed and cursed behind his back.

But everyone never denied the huge contribution Han Sanping has made to the domestic film industry over the years.

"Chairman Han, then I'll go." Lin Nan greeted and said goodbye.

"Mm, be careful when driving; Ning Hao will rest here for one night first." Han Sanping instructed.

When coming, Ning Hao and Lin Nan both drove cars.

But at the wine banquet, because of the matter of *No Man's Land*, Ning Hao toasted Han Sanping several glasses of white wine in a row; there was half a bottle, right?

He is not Han Sanping's opponent tested by alcohol; he is already exhausted at this moment!

The first day of National Day ended; for the entire film and television circle, it might not be anything. But only the big shots at the top know that that "Vulture" has officially become the past.

…………

This National Day slot, Huayi is really going to become the hegemon.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, the daily box office of *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon* jumped from around 40 million the day before to 65.5 million.

In three days of release, it harvested a total of 137 million, which can be said to be leading the way!

Wang Zhonglei's matter of offering an 800 million guaranteed distribution to Lin Nan for *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* also spread in the industry.

Almost the entire film and television circle was sighing at Lin Nan's ability to make money, and the lead actors such as Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, etc., were even more excited.

Because although Lin Nan refused Huayi, doesn't this mean that the box office might be even higher?!

The next morning, Tiangong Color.

"How is it, can you give me an accurate time now?"

The two small groups responsible for the special effects of *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* didn't react; why did the boss ask so long in advance?

"Lin Dao, it's really hard to say; it's impossible to guarantee that the special effects shots will definitely be completed by the end of this month."

The person in charge of the *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* project said frankly.

Hearing this answer, Lin Nan started to think about the time problem.

January 31st is the Spring Festival; if it is to be released at that time, at least two months of promotion period must be left.

As for the review time? Mainstream films, the review is absolutely no problem, especially the one directed by Lin Nan.

If this were blocked, Lin Nan would dare to go directly to the Film Bureau to curse; it is estimated that Tong Gang would help him curse together!

"At the latest, at the latest next month, I want to see all the special effects shots."

Lin Nan said to the forty employees of the two groups, and these people seemed to be wilting instantly.

The employees of the remaining groups instantly had a gloating expression, and they didn't hide it; this is the mode of getting along for science and engineering men.

"This, Lin Dao, how about before the end of next month?" The project person in charge fought for time as much as possible.

Lin Nan nodded and decided to give them some stimulation:

"Okay, if it can be done by the middle of next month, the two groups of the *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* project can add one month's salary to the year-end bonus; if done in the first ten days, add two months."

Lin Nan's incentive was spoken out, and the expressions of all employees compared to just now had completely reversed.

Those watching the fun were sour, and those who were wilting became full of energy again.

"Good, Lin Dao, rest assured, absolutely no problem." The project person in charge patted his chest and guaranteed.

Lin Nan left Tiangong Color with a smile; if *The Taking of Tiger Mountain* could finish special effects next month.

Then this film would be Lin Nan's first commercial blockbuster to enter the Spring Festival slot.

"If it is suddenly announced to be scheduled, for companies and films in the same slot in the industry, it should be considered a surprise, right? Mm, it should be a surprise!"

At this moment, Lin Nan was inexplicably looking forward to it, feeling it would be very exciting.

Huayi's stock price followed the box office of *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon* and advanced triumphantly, making a large number of production companies envious.

Other films in the market, whether domestic or imported, were suppressed by Tsui Hark's *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon*.

The most miserable film belongs to the inspirational blockbuster *Amazing*, which was invested and controlled by Shanghai Film Group and authorized by the NBA.

A box office of 4 million on the first day, 7 million in two days, and more than 10 million in three days is completely unworthy of the participation of so many NBA stars.

Lin Nan estimated that Ren Zhonglun must be very uncomfortable at this moment and will lose money.

"Lin Dao, the remuneration for Chairman Han and Han Jia'nu is ready."

Yue Jun came to the office in person to remind Lin Nan.

This money had been pressed from the end of June until now, for four months.

"Then pay it to Han Jia'nu."

"Okay."

"Wait."

Just as Yue Jun was about to turn and leave, he was stopped by Lin Nan again.

"Pay the tax for her; don't deduct it from that money."

"Haha, okay, I'll go notify finance." Yue Jun walked out of the office with a smile.

After thinking about it, Lin Nan still decided to call classmate Han.

"Hey, Senior Brother Lin. I'm busy editing, is there anything?"

Han Jia'nu's careless voice came from the mobile phone.

"Pay attention to check the account, the remuneration for Chairman Han and you."

"Ah, finally going to arrive? I've been thinking about it! I'll change the car later; I'm greedy for that new Ferrari of Qianqian's..."

"You'd better tell Chairman Han." Lin Nan reminded speechlessly.

"No need, Old Han's is mine; he won't have any opinion."

Han Jia'nu's words really couldn't be refuted.

After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Nan didn't disturb her editing anymore.

However, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he still had some feelings: "This is the unscrupulousness of an only child, especially a daughter."

…………

Domestic time 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Qianqian's call came back from Iceland.

"I wrap up the day after tomorrow morning, the flight in the evening, the morning after the day after tomorrow, remember to come to the airport to pick me up."

Liu Qianqian's soft voice with a nasal sound could only be made in the quilt.

Obviously, she was calling on the bed at this moment and hadn't gotten up yet.

"Okay, did Nolan say whether it's needed to go to Hollywood for dubbing later?"

"Not said yet; if re-dubbing is needed, then go when the time comes."

Miss Liu had an indifferent attitude, estimating that she was only thinking about wrapping up quickly and flying back immediately.

Enlight's efficiency was quite high.

It hadn't even left the National Day holiday, and *The Breakup Guru* was about to start filming.

The opening press conference they prepared this time didn't have a small movement; they invited many media reporters.

Because this is also Deng Chao's first time as a director, directing a film, which is very gimmicky.

The press conference location was in Enlight's studio hall.

Lin Nan, as one of the presenters, also came early in the morning and drank tea in Wang Changtian's office.

He looked at the complete actor list and didn't know how to evaluate it; they were all actors Deng Chao "pieced together".

"Let's go, go to the studio and sit." Wang Changtian stood up and invited.

"Mm."

Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Sun Li, Xie Nan, Liu Yan, Wu Jing... the actors and reporters were all in place.

Lin Nan followed behind Wang Changtian and entered the studio.

A group of people saw the two, and their eyes and lenses moved over.

Only Yang Mi was a bit unnatural; didn't expect that after leaving Shanhai Media, the first time to cooperate with the company again would be *The Breakup Guru* controlled by Enlight.

Lin Nan came today just to be a mascot.

Answering questions or something, those were the matters of the crew's main creators, at most plus Wang Changtian.

However, the reporters didn't think so; asking and asking, they pulled it to Lin Nan.

"Lin Dao, Yang Mi was an actor at Shanhai Media before; for actors who left, what is your attitude?"

This question was a bit abrupt, and everyone didn't react.

Lin Nan took the microphone, "Originally I was just here to support the scene today, so I'll answer one question."

At this time, everyone looked at Lin Nan, including Yang Mi.

"Actors who left Shanhai Media didn't become enemies and will never cooperate again. Just like this *The Breakup Guru*, I also participated in the investment, and the female lead is still Yang Mi."

Hearing this, the reporters were obviously stunned; although they were quite satisfied, it wasn't the answer they most wanted to hear.

On the contrary, Yang Mi was very happy, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

But just at this time, Lin Nan didn't put down the microphone, but continued to add:

"Of course, *The Breakup Guru* is a film controlled by Enlight, and I won't interfere either.

But if it were a film by Lin Nan Pictures, I would definitely prioritize using my own company's actors, instead of outsiders..."

Once these words came out, the smile on Yang Mi's face froze again instantly.
