Chapter 624: Ye Ning and Wanda; Passed Review!

No one in the film and television circle would have thought that a web drama from LeEco could actually become so popular?

It was clearly a grassroots cast, and the costumes, props, plot, lines, and acting were completely unwatchable...

But it just happened to become popular overnight, to the point of being discussed by the entire internet, with explosive traffic!

A graduate of the advanced acting class at the Beijing Film Academy named Zhang Tianai suddenly became popular and famous in just a few days, realizing the dream of reaching the sky in one step in the entertainment industry!

"Hey, this is really hellish!

In the second half of this year, Enlight Media's stock price has been stable and rising, all the way red, because so many films they participated in investing and distributing achieved super-high box office!

But why LeEco? Why can one of its web dramas win two daily limit increases in a row and still be rising? Just because it's an internet company?"

At Tudou, in the large conference room, Wang Changtian scolded "indignantly."

Lin Nan watched from the side, wanting to laugh but holding back. And Wang Wei nodded in agreement:

"Popular is popular, but the stock price over there seems to be a bit of a 'fuss.' But it doesn't matter, we are here today to talk about self-produced dramas!"

Hearing Wang Wei's last sentence, Wang Changtian restrained his emotions.

"After Tudou goes public, we can set up a separate department specifically responsible for this business. Self-produced dramas can effectively and significantly reduce costs, and we have full exclusive broadcasting rights and copyrights."

Lin Nan nodded and spoke first, very seriously and solemnly.

"I also think it should be like this. The flexibility and variability of the internet are reflected here." Wang Changtian took over the conversation and expressed his approval.

"I agree too, so is it settled?"

Wang Wei looked at Lin Nan and Wang Changtian, and both nodded at the same time.

According to the rules, the decision-making power for Tudou's development lies with the founder shareholders, so Tencent didn't send anyone over today.

"What's going on with Ye Ning, why didn't he come today? Should we have lunch together at noon?"

After finishing the serious business, Wang Changtian changed the subject to Ye Ning.

"Ye Zong said we can decide, Wanda Cinema is very busy recently, he can't get away." Wang Wei explained quickly.

Hearing this, Wang Changtian didn't say anything more, and Lin Nan subconsciously nodded: "After all, it's the New Year release slot, it would be strange if he weren't busy."

The lunch gathering was avoided. The three sat in the conference room and talked about Tudou's second round of financing plan.

At the same time, Wanda Cinema.

Ye Ning sat in the office, in front of him was a person in charge of a certain cinema under him, who was also his old subordinate.

These days, he has seen many old subordinates; seeing them one by one is very safe.

"The annual meeting is in a few days, let's have a beginning and an end."

"Ye Zong, what's the specific time?"

"After the Spring Festival work starts, I will submit my resignation to the group."

When Ye Ning said this, he was still somewhat unwilling, but he didn't regret it. Right now, the group doesn't know his decision yet.

"This time is no problem, you can get the year-end bonus... According to the group's rules and regulations, once the resignation is submitted, the resignation procedure will take effect immediately, and the process will start immediately. Ye Zong, then I will also leave at that time, and leave with you."

"Hmm, together."

Ye Ning looked at the other party and couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, I didn't expect that none of you would refuse me."

"Ye Zong, are you so unconfident in yourself? You have been my old leader for ten years. Besides..."

As he spoke, the smile on the cinema manager's face suddenly disappeared:

"Besides, this is Wanda! How many shares belong to options? Almost all of them are in the hands of the big boss. Didn't you also provide us with a big road, a choice?"

Hearing this "heartfelt word" from the other party, Ye Ning had nothing to say.

Wanda is very powerful now, very prosperous, and according to rumors, it will soon take over that giant. But the more this is the case, the more powerful the group will be!

Because in the eyes of the big boss, no one is indispensable, even executives who have served Wanda for more than ten years!

"Hmm, they have similar thoughts to you. Of course, the same as me. Just..."

Ye Ning thought of Tudou, thought of Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, and others. Wanda's investment in Tudou was something he had been following, and at this moment he couldn't help but feel some regret and reluctance.

But for Tudou with a market value of 40 billion, those shares are just like that in the eyes of the big boss?

Otherwise, with these merits and ten years of hard work, why couldn't he get shares?

"Ye Zong, what do you want to say?"

"Nothing, you go back and notify the next one, let him come to see me."

"Hmm, okay."

The Bureau.

Tong Gang, as the deputy director in charge of the Film Bureau, is looking at the report submitted by Zhang Hongsen.

The total annual box office of the domestic film market, as of today, has already reached more than 44 billion, which is indeed much higher than last year and the year before.

"If *Mojin: The Lost Legend* is rejected, let it be... Does his company have other projects under review?"

"As for films, there is the script of *Ip Man 4* jointly produced by Emperor Motion Pictures, which is under review;"

As for TV dramas, there is *Eternal Love* sent to the bureau by Xingwu, but the couple, surely they don't distinguish between each other.

As for the review of the TV drama script, that is not the business of the Film Bureau; however, the review time for costume and mythological dramas is generally not short."

Zhang Hongsen said with a smile and picked up the teacup.

"Go and arrange it, if there is no big problem, pass it immediately."

"Okay, Director Tong." The secretary heard this and agreed immediately.

"No complaints?" Tong Gang looked at Zhang Hongsen again, referring to the rejection of the extension key application for *Mojin: The Lost Legend*.

"No, only La Peikang called to ask, and didn't say anything."

Zhang Hongsen said truthfully, China Film Group is quite cooperative.

Tong Gang shook his head helplessly and teased with a smile: "If it were Han Sanping, he probably wouldn't call you."

"Then what could he do?"

China Film Group is a department-level unit, and the Film Bureau is also a department-level unit, but their functions are different. Zhang Hongsen didn't think Han Sanping could do anything. When he first took office, Han Sanping was waiting to retire, and the two didn't have much intersection.

"Haha, if it were him, he would first come to argue with me, instead of obeying!"

Tong Gang's tone carried undisguised appreciation, but also some regret; that was his former subordinate and direct line.

Zhang Hongsen heard the meaning in the leader's words: Director Tong approved of the rejection result, but was also somewhat disappointed with La Peikang's attitude?

"Alright, go and do it now."

Tong Gang urged the secretary, and also told Zhang Hongsen that it was enough for today.

In the blink of an eye, it was another few days, and the time came to the 19th.

That film *The Final Master* and *Oh My God* are similar, with only about a week of box office life, and finally exited the New Year release slot early with a total box office of 21.06 million.

And *Mojin: The Lost Legend* has been in public release for three full weeks, and its total box office has already reached 1.882 billion!

The entire film circle is staring at the number 1.882 billion, and no one is not swallowing their saliva.

The box office of *Mojin: The Lost Legend* surpassed the 1.771 billion of *Lost in Hong Kong* during the National Day slot, and also wiped out the 1.781 billion of *Goodbye Mr. Loser* during the National Day slot;

Its total box office is second only to the 2.053 billion of *The Taking of Tiger Mountain*, officially promoted to the second place in the domestic film box office list!

And at this time, *Mojin: The Lost Legend*'s daily box office yesterday was still 20 million, and there are 9 days left in the public release time—2 billion is still in sight; it's just that in the last 4 days of the remaining 9 days, it has to face the squeeze of *Bad Guys Always Die* and *Mr. Six*.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it may really be a matter of the final kick. Relax, look at luck."

Lin Nan held his phone and was talking to Director Wu Ershan on the phone; it was the other party who called.

"Still want to thank Lin Dao for giving me this opportunity, sincerely thank you..."

Director Wu Ershan was speaking from the heart, because for the past three weeks, he has become the most sought-after commercial film director in the industry.

"It will be taken off the screen on the night of the 27th, and the celebration banquet will be held together with the premiere of *Detective Chinatown* on the 28th. It will be arranged in the next two days, telling you in advance."

"Okay, Lin Dao. I and all the main creators will not be absent..."

Lin Nan hung up the phone and checked the time. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning, time to get off work and go home.

Outside, the lawsuit between Qiong Yao and Yu Zheng was sentenced in the final trial half an hour ago;

That is: reject Yu Zheng's appeal, maintain the first-instance result: Yu Zheng must publicly apologize and compensate 5 million...

At the moment of leaving the court gate, this person, known by fans as "Mother Yu," when facing media reporters asking when he would fulfill the judgment result and apologize and compensate Qiong Yao, he directly threw a sentence with a dark face: "Will not fulfill!"

This attitude and answer immediately excited the media, and it was another explosive hot search;

And Yu Zheng didn't care about the scolding on the internet and in the industry at all, after all, he was already notorious!

When driving the car into the garage, Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei;

Miss Liu was wearing a down jacket, sitting at the door, smiling and talking on the phone, and waved at him;

The person on the other end of the phone should be Shu Chang, and I don't know what they were talking about, so happy?

"Lin Nan, the script for *Eternal Love* has passed the review, just ten minutes ago!"

Before Lin Dao could get close, Liu Yifei shouted at him, her face full of smiles, red and tender and white.

"Hurry in, aren't you cold?"

"Not cold."

Liu Yifei took Lin Nan's arm, leaned on him, and winked at him playfully.

"Not cold? Then let me touch it."

"Oh my, it's too cold, go away, hehe..."

As Liu Yifei said, reports have already appeared online.

"According to the official website of the Bureau, the TV drama *Eternal Love* submitted by Xingwu Film Industry has officially passed the review... issued a filming permit..."

"In the morning, the Film Bureau's official website announced: the script of the film *Ip Man 4* submitted by Emperor Motion Pictures has officially passed the review, and the filming permit can be collected with the notification document..."

Once the two pieces of film and television information came out, the film and television circle immediately became lively.

*Ip Man 4* is fine, after all, it is the responsibility of Emperor Motion Pictures, and everyone knows more or less that the cast shouldn't change too much, so they won't have any ideas.

But the TV version of *Eternal Love* is different. This is a TV drama that the industry tacitly agrees will be popular, and it is produced by the Lin Nan Film Industry team! Naturally, many people have ideas.

At the Beijing Film Academy, the Acting Academy has already spread the news, and many people are just waiting for Xingwu to release the casting audition notice.

"Yaoyao, are you really not going? If you don't go, then I'm going to prepare the audition resume. The instructor is constantly reminding in the group."

Meng Ziyi pulled Chen Yao and asked again.
