Chapter 43

The most excited are a group of film companies and actors and stars. Every channel connecting to Hollywood is a sweet pastry in the mainland.

At this time, Lin Nan is this channel. Once the profit of "Dead Silence" reaches expectations, this channel will be completely consolidated and will continue to expand.

"Lin, I received news that before the results of the first film at Lionsgate, even if various film companies are optimistic about your script, they cannot agree to your requirements, especially since some scripts are obviously A-level productions."

Lin Nan guessed that Lionsgate could agree because these two films have low investment and short cycles, and losing money is almost impossible. Plus other additional reasons, he got a 20% share.

"Don't worry. Since they are all watching, let's wait until 'Dead Silence' is released in the second half of the year. I am ready to return to China, Tom."

The business of coming here this time has been done, and the stock account has been opened. Lin Nan has no need to stay.

"Crazy Stone" is approaching release, and he has to go back to continue the promotion. Ning Hao is urging.

"So fast? Okay, I will send you to the airport then. I will help you handle your stocks."

The flight at 9:00 on the 11th, and when arriving at the Capital Airport, it was noon on the 12th. There is always a feeling that time has been stolen by half.

You can occasionally see the promotional posters of "Super Girl" on the billboards on the roadside. This year, Mango TV's promotion intensity is very full. It is said that the advertising fees have already been earned full.

The taxi driver was talking on the phone while driving, which made Lin Nan feel sudden. Listening to that meaning, the family was going to be demolished...

It is just taking advantage of the Olympic wind. This housing price is about to start moving, all the way up several jumps.

Returning to the company, everyone saw Lin Nan and excitedly asked if the company would cooperate with Hollywood in the future.

"Yes, the first film with Lionsgate, they plan to release it in the second half of the year."

Lin Nan looked at everyone's expectant eyes and answered.

A group of people were chattering excitedly there. For the mainland film and television industry in this period, Hollywood is a truly high-end place and a place for mainland actors to gild.

"Lin Dao, the film revenue sharing from South Korea has arrived. It was just docked with China Film Group two days ago." The finance department reported.

"Got it."

"That side said that after you come back, have time to go to China Film Group to sit." The finance department remembered and said, and then left Lin Nan's office.

China Film Group called him. Lin Nan could guess what it was. Han Zong or China Film Group was very eager for Hollywood films, eager to participate in investment and production, and eager to go to sea.

But so far, Lin Nan really can't help with this. Even he himself is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. Whether he can reach the opposite bank smoothly depends on the results of "Dead Silence."

Thinking for a while, Lin Nan still made a phone call, "Hello, Han Zong, it's me. I just arrived at the company. I'll go to the group to see you when I'm free."

Han Sanping's tone was very close. He praised Lin Nan for being able to cooperate with Lionsgate for a long time, and finally pointed out that if he needs funds in the future, he can talk to China Film Group. As long as it is a film cooperation with Hollywood, China Film Group can provide help as much as possible, including but not limited to funds and contacts.

"For now, I have to wait. Wait for the results of the first film to decide how much say I can get later. That side is much more practical than us."

Lin Nan said the truth without any exaggeration.

"Also, but I believe in your strength. Aren't you so successful at a young age? 'Crazy Stone' is about to be released. What is missing in terms of promotion? Just say it. I will definitely help if I can..."

"Thank you, Han Zong. I am preparing to find Ning Hao..."

Ending the call, Lin Nan prepared to leave the company.

He called Ning Hao again and made an appointment to meet at Enlight Media. As the producer, executive producer, and screenwriter of "Crazy Stone," taking advantage of the heat of just signing with "Lionsgate," he has to promote it well.

Enlight Media has strong contacts in the traditional TV station system. Recently, it has been preparing to do a nationwide host competition in conjunction with Huitun TV, and it is planned to start officially in August.

The company has two public cars. This is the first time Lin Nan has taken one. If he says it out, he might be laughed at by others.

Arriving at the entrance of Enlight Media, Lin Nan asked the company's people to drive back. He would not return to the company later.

Ning Hao arrived a few minutes early. Seeing Lin Nan's figure, he walked up excitedly, "You are really amazing. Those two days, the circle was full of your news. Good guy, you went to Los Angeles alone."

"Haha, is it that exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated at all. I'm so envious."

Ning Hao is also unreliable, not wanting face at all.

"Go, go, hurry in. President Wang should have waited for a while." Lin Nan said.

The two chatted and laughed into the Enlight Media building.

Enlight Media started from the TV broadcasting system and can implement promotion well to the audience. The programs they cooperate with various TV stations and radio stations also have the shadow of "Crazy Stone."

Enlight Media led by Wang Changtian not only does film investment, production, and distribution, but also TV drama production and distribution, variety shows, and artist brokerage. This time taking over the distribution of "Crazy Stone," he attaches great importance to it.

Referring to the mainland film market in the past few years, only Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang can carry the box office, but Enlight Media cannot get involved in the films of both.

Lin Nan rose abruptly, and Enlight Media had the opportunity to get involved in high-box-office films, especially investing in "Youth Returns," which made them earn a lot.

This time independently undertaking the distribution of "Crazy Stone" is also because the relationship was in place before, so he got the opportunity from Lin Nan.

Wang Changtian heard that China Film Group once tried to introduce Bona's Fatty Yu to Lin Nan, and the purpose was the promotion and distribution of "Crazy Stone."

Finally, Lin Nan stated that he had already cooperated with Enlight Media, so he dealt with it. In fact, at that point, Enlight Media had not received Lin Nan's distribution business regarding "Crazy Stone."

The secretary led Ning Hao and Lin Nan through the office area. Many Enlight Media artists were staring at the two, looking like they wanted to go up and get close.

Everyone looked at Lin Nan with particularly enthusiastic eyes. Box office, awards, plus the cooperation with Lionsgate a few days ago—Lin Nan is now in the mainland film and television circle, which can be described as in full swing, only after Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

The gap in status and the company's rules and regulations finally made a group of artists hold back their steps to go up.

Wang Changtian has been very busy recently. The company has many businesses of its own, and this year it has to open a host competition to add new people to the company. But he will not neglect the promotion work of "Crazy Stone" at all. The trend of this film's big sale is very obvious. He only needs to follow the trend, and there will be one more item on the company's report card, and the competitiveness in distribution will be stronger in the future.

"Haha, Lin Dao, congratulations on breaking into Hollywood."

Wang Changtian saw the two and first congratulated Lin Nan, and asked if he needed to rest for a day. After all, he just came back.

"Work is important. Let's prioritize promotion first."

According to Enlight Media's promotion progress, almost all major cinema theaters have posters of "Crazy Stone." The early interviews have also been done a lot. This time, focus on some TV stations and satellite TV programs. Ordinary audiences watch TV more.

Wang Changtian gave the itinerary to Lin Nan and Ning Hao, "Take the main creative team together, run through these programs, and it's almost done."

The work for the next week is arranged full, from morning to night, and also have to rush.

After chatting with Wang Changtian for a while, the two left.

"Are you still living in the dormitory?"

Lin Nan sat in Ning Hao's car, and the latter asked.

"Yes."

"You are not short of money for a house, and you still live in school?"

"The school atmosphere is good. I planned to live for four years. As for buying a house? I originally planned to buy it, but later changed my mind. Wait until I have a girlfriend in the future. Maybe I will find a rich woman. She has a big villa, haha."

Lin Nan laughed loudly.

"Thinking quite beautifully." Ning Hao complained.

Sitting in the car, Lin Nan called several main creators of "Crazy Stone." Logically speaking, cooperating with promotion is the obligation of actors, but he still said that if they are busy, forget it.

None of the main creators said they were busy. Lin Nan called them. Even if they were busy, they said they were not busy. Being able to promote with a big director is a rare opportunity. Contacts are walked out like this.

"How much box office do you think 'Crazy Stone' can have?" Ning Hao was driving and asked.

"Won't you know next month? Are you nervous?"

"A little nervous. This is my first time directing a commercial film, and it's a comedy. Although your script is great, my pressure is also very big.

If the box office is good, others will say it is your credit. If the box office is bad, others will say it is my fault. Can I not be nervous?"

Ning Hao said his inner thoughts.

"Don't think about these things. You just think about how much price is appropriate for other producers to find you to shoot films next time."

Ning Hao heard this and was instantly excited, "You mean, the box office will be very good?"

Ning Hao is just not confident. "Incense" gave him a shadow of flopping.

"You directed the film from beginning to end. Ask yourself how the quality is."

Ning Hao was silent for a while, "I think it's great."

"Then that's it. I paid the money and I'm not nervous. What are you afraid of?" Lin Nan said with a smile.

Leaving Lin Nan at the entrance of the Film Academy, Ning Hao drove back to the studio. The two made an appointment for the departure time tomorrow morning, and other main creators would also arrive at the TV station on time.

Starting from the 13th, Lin Nan and several people in the crew started to record programs without stopping, traveling between the airport and various city TV stations.

Thanks to the Silver Bear Lin Nan won in February and the news of the cooperation with Lionsgate just now, the promotion effect of "Crazy Stone" is very good.

Although the director is not Ning Hao, in the eyes of many audiences, this is Lin Nan's work.

In the program interaction session, Lin Nan even took out his previous two commercial films for comparison, promising that "Crazy Stone" would definitely not be worse than the previous two.

The focus of promotion is several first-tier city satellite TVs. When in Shanghai, the group took time to go to Shanghai Film Group to sit for a while, mainly because President Ren wanted to get closer to Lin Nan.

The film was shot in Chongqing. Expanding the promotion topic based on this also received enthusiastic treatment from local media.

The last stop returned to the capital, and the final promotion was conducted on Capital Satellite TV.

Seven-day itinerary, besides rushing, is recording or live broadcasting in the studio. The group was exhausted. After finishing the promotion of Capital Satellite TV, they could finally rest.

From the night of the 19th, Lin Nan slept until 12 noon the next day, and the phone ring woke him up.

The dormitory for one person looked very quiet. The phone ring rang abruptly, very harsh.

Feeling the phone, Lin Nan squinted and looked. It was Liu Yifei's.
