Chapter 494

"This idea of yours is simply amazing!"

La Peikang exclaimed, and Ren Zhonglun also nodded in approval.

"I want to make it clear in advance that this marketing method consumes the audience's favor accumulated by Director Zhou Xingchi for more than twenty years!"

Lin Nan looked at Zhou Xingchi, emphasizing the last sentence.

The latter only frowned for one or two seconds, then decisively nodded and agreed.

"Lin Dao's method is very good, I support it, let's do it this way."

At this moment, Zhou Xingchi is first a businessman, then a director, and finally the former actor Zhou Xingchi.

Lin Nan knows that this idea of his may be a bit unauthentic, and even slightly moral kidnapping.

But, Zhou Xingchi is really too suitable for this marketing method.

Among the "Two Zhous and One Jackie" in Hong Kong, in the mainland market, Zhou Xingchi definitely has a big advantage, and there are more fans who like him!

"The contract has been signed, the audition and marketing matters are decided. Shall we have a casual meal at noon?"

La Peikang was in a good mood and took the opportunity to issue an invitation.

He felt that Lin Nan's idea was really too good.

This method, combined with the audition momentum of 'The Mermaid', will definitely not be a problem for the film to break even.

As for how much it can earn, it depends on the actual effect. In short, high box office is very promising!

Unlike the good mood of La Peikang, Lin Nan, and Zhou Xingchi, Ren Zhonglun felt a bit uncomfortable after the fact.

Although he didn't say it, and the expression on his face was smiling, he knew in his heart that he already regretted it, regretted only asking for a 15% share!

Lin Nan and La Peikang both noticed the slightly stiff smile on Ren Zhonglun's face, and instantly guessed the specific reason in their hearts.

Only Zhou Xingchi noticed it too, but because he had little dealings with Shanghai Film, he didn't think much about it.

Lunch was eaten in the small auditorium where China Film specifically receives important guests.

After the banquet, everyone didn't stay long; Ren Zhonglun said goodbye first, followed by Zhou Xingchi.

"Look, Chairman Han has figured out his temper, haha..."

La Peikang teased Ren Zhonglun directly in front of Lin Nan, without any avoidance.

"Produced and directed by famous director Xu Jinglei, with investment from Alibaba, starring Wu Yifan, Xu Jinglei, Wang Likun, Re Yizha, and others.

The romance film 'Somewhere Only We Know' officially began filming in the capital today."

The Beijing circle made a big fanfare to build momentum for Xu Jinglei's new movie.

Many big names forwarded and supported it on Weibo, and praised the newcomer Wu Yifan, whom she strongly supported, endlessly.

Lin Nan was browsing the news in the company while shaking his head. Alibaba entering the film and television industry really hooked up with the Beijing circle first.

After a long time, he took the mobile phone, flipped through the address book, and dialed out.

A few seconds later, the phone was answered instantly, "Lin Dao?"

"I should still have 10 million shares of Huayi stock, right?"

"Yes, it's exactly 10 million shares, are you going to?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked uncertainly; it had only been a month since Lin Nan's last sell-off! Is this going to clear the position gradually?

"What is their stock price currently?"

"Since the 'Feng Xiaogang Director Film Commune' in Haikou opened, Huayi's stock price has been rising, it's 54.53 yuan now."

Lin Nan thought about it, this time it won't be as ruthless as the previous two times.

Previously, large-scale sell-offs in a short period of time forced the rise of Huayi's stock to drop a bit, and after the news spread, the stock price fell even more.

"This time, take it slow, there is still a week until the end of the month, just sell 2 million shares within a week."

Hearing the number given by Lin Nan, the person on the other end of the phone was stunned, another large sum!

"Okay, Lin Dao. We will handle it immediately and summarize it for you on the last day of the month."

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

Enlight, 'Keep Running' project team.

Including the director, photography, planning, logistics, and seven resident guests, all arrived.

Everyone is going to set off together to the recording location of the first episode of the first season.

Throughout the first season, team members from South Korea's 'Running Man' will come to participate.

"Especially Reba, do you remember what I told you before?"

In the conference room, Lin Nan's question made everyone look at Especially Reba.

The other resident guests were all envious; sure enough, their own artists are different, having special treatment?

Especially Reba was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously, "Lin Dao, I remember. Be open, play openly!"

What? Deng Chao and the other six people all had stunned expressions, just said this?

"Hmm, just remember it. The rest of you are the same, this is the core connotation of 'Keep Running'. In addition, Especially Reba is the only girl, you guys take care of her."

Lin Nan specifically exhorted, this was conveyed by Liu Yifei. Miss Liu is like this, quite a big sister style!

"No problem, Lin Dao, don't worry."

"I can guarantee this, unless you step over my corpse!"

"Old Sha, stop it, your physical fitness is not as good as mine."

"Hehe, that's excessive."

Wang Changtian smiled and put his arm around Lin Nan's shoulder: "Let me tell you, the first season hasn't started recording yet, and there are already many companies in the circle wanting to stuff people in."

"This feeling is very good, right?"

"Very good, this is a feeling that Enlight's previous variety shows have never experienced.

In the past, we mostly invited artists, but when it came to 'Keep Running', it was the other way around, and they took the initiative to come to the door to stuff people."

"Wait until the second season, the posture of peers in the circle will be even lower, for example: taking the initiative to beg."

Lin Nan said with a smile, his tone carrying certainty. Because 'Keep Running' will also be a huge promotional platform.

Wang Changtian nodded, indicating agreement.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the 'Keep Running' team boarded a plane to Hangzhou, the destination for the recording of the first episode.

Immediately after, only one night apart, the entertainment news on the internet was completely reported.

"Controlled by Lin Nan Pictures, invested and produced by Enlight, assisted by South Korea's 'Running Man' team, the large-scale outdoor reality variety show 'Keep Running' officially started recording in Hangzhou today..."

"Yes, the audition for the heroine nationwide, as well as the audition for other major roles in the entire film and television circle. He hopes that we can provide assistance in promotion."

"Looking forward to the domestic 'Running Man' of the first season meeting the audience soon!"

Some news cannot be hidden, after all, 'Keep Running' is an outdoor reality show.

It's just that the speed and scope of the news spread still greatly exceeded Lin Nan and Wang Changtian's expectations.

But it's also true, the more secret it is, the more it can arouse the curiosity and desire for discussion of ordinary people; human nature is like this.

The entire entertainment circle knows who the seven resident guests of 'Keep Running' are; this is undoubtedly top-tier resources, a long-term golden rice bowl!

"Look, I told you last time. The only female resident guest is from Lin Dao's company.

But I also fought for a guest spot for you, at worst just go a few more times."

Huang Xiaoming had a smile on his face, looking at Yang Ying with soft eyes, his voice carrying tenderness and doting.

"How can a guest spot compare to a resident guest? With the strength of Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight, she will quickly become popular and enter the first line, and she is another competitor..."

Yang Ying said unwillingly. Not to mention film and television resources, Lin Nan Pictures is enough, but other fashion resources, endorsements, etc., will definitely produce competition. But she also knows that Huang Xiaoming tried his best.

"Don't worry, I will pave the way for you. Prepare, prepare, isn't 'Bride Wars' about to enter the group."

"In the future, when Lin Dao looks for you to film, recommend me more, okay?"

"Haha, no one can influence Lin Dao, unless Yifei speaks. Okay, I'll mention it."

Huang Xiaoming knew she was still thinking about the previous 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' matter, so he just brushed it off.

Yang Mi was looking at the news on the internet, and hadn't recovered from the state of astonishment for a long time.

She knows how popular 'Running Man' is.

The positioning of Song Ji-hyo is the positioning of Especially Reba in 'Keep Running' now.

When she was still at Shanhai Media, although she felt that the girl's appearance was very suitable for the idol star route, she didn't think much about it.

Now it seems, it's really going to be! Lin Dao gave her an unparalleled top-tier resource!

"Mi Mi, don't be stunned, the promotion for 'Tiny Times 3' is about to start."

"Jia Jia, I remember you said before: even if Especially Reba has the opportunity to enter the first line, she must accumulate for at least several years; there are not so many shortcuts for her in the film and television circle and entertainment circle.

Now it seems you were wrong, isn't 'Keep Running' a shortcut to the sky?"

Yang Mi's abrupt words made Zeng Jia a bit unable to step down.

"Who knew Lin Dao was so ruthless, directly buying the copyright of 'Running Man'.

I estimate that we will have to go on this show later. At that time, you might have to speak..."

Yang Mi sighed and nodded: "I know, if we want to go to 'Keep Running', I will contact it. However, still the same sentence, when financing, I suggest inviting Lin Nan Pictures..."

"Why are you saying this again."

The war of the summer slot is about to open in one day.

Among domestic films, 'Ip Man 3' and 'The Breakup Guru' are representatives.

And among imported films, the sci-fi blockbuster 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' is at the forefront, and it is a momentum of sharpening swords.

What makes the circle most nervous and exciting is that these three movies are actually released on the same day; it's impossible for the gunpowder smell not to be strong.

"Warner sent an email, the schedule for 'Interstellar' can be determined recently, it should be a global simultaneous release."

Liu Yifei ran over holding a tablet computer, looking happy.

Lin Nan can understand her mood, this is Miss Liu's biggest role so far—the heroine of a sci-fi blockbuster produced by Warner, directed by Nolan, invested 170 million USD, and released globally.

The most critical point is that the male lead Matthew McConaughey and the second female lead Jessica Chastain she partnered with just won the Oscar for Best Actor and Oscar for Best Supporting Actress four months ago!

This level instantly increased by a large margin!

"At that time, I will go to stand for you!" Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand and said softly.

"Hmm, hehe..."
