Chapter 655: Meeting, A Joke-like Promise

"Mainly produced by LeTV Film, supervised and written by Xu Ke, produced by Shi Nansheng, directed by Yuan Heping, starring Dong Chengpeng, Ni Ni, Li Zhiting, Zhou Dongyu, Wu Bai, Liu Yan, and others, the costume martial arts fantasy blockbuster 'The Thousand Faces of Dunjia' officially commenced filming this morning at Hengdian World Studios."

"Jointly produced by Yinghuang and Lin Nan Film, starring Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Yue, Chen Guokun, and others, the final chapter of the 'Ip Man' series, 'Ip Man 4', held its opening ceremony in Shanghai this morning..."

Waking up in the morning, among the headlines and hot searches of film and entertainment information, there was news of the start of two more commercial blockbusters.

One was a remake of a martial arts classic from decades ago, with a big director, big producer, and big martial arts choreographer behind the scenes; the other was the last film of a series that had been very popular in recent years.

The popularity of these two movies was self-evident, both were the focus of attention across the entire internet.

After parting with Liu Yifei at the door, Lin Nan went straight to the company; after Red Star Dock sent over the personnel information, Lin Nan Film could arrange ticket booking.

At the same time, Huayi.

Wang Zhongjun hugged Ye Ning with a face full of joy, followed by Wang Zhonglei.

"The group is making final adjustments these two days, and all the positions left for you can be cleared within a week. Today, according to the contract, we will first transfer the shares to you..."

Hearing this, Ye Ning's originally somewhat serious expression relaxed a lot; he was still quite "low-key" coming to Huayi today.

"Okay, Wang Zong, transfer the shares first."

"Does Ye Zong feel particularly awkward calling this Wang Zong? Hahaha, don't take it to heart; it can be the same at Huayi and Wanda, but also different!

Saying it's the same, it's because both are Wang Zong; saying it's different, it's because Huayi won't limit your treatment, for example: shares!"

"Ye Zong can rest assured, from now on we are one family. Let's go celebrate at noon; rest assured, before the process at Wanda is finished, we will absolutely keep it low-key and confidential, just go to my private club."

Wang Zhonglei took over Wang Zhongjun's words and said with a chuckle.

Today, the two brothers were indeed happy, because Ye Ning could be considered to have truly become a member of Huayi, and the latter was a top-tier professional manager in the industry, with powerful capabilities!

At this moment, Ye Ning's mood was indeed very good, but he still hadn't forgotten serious business.

"After my procedures at Wanda are completely finished and they issue an announcement; they will take action and submit their resignations together."

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei heard this, and the excitement in their eyes became even more obvious; the "they" in Ye Ning's mouth were the backbone-level cinema managers of Wanda Cinema, which was another large batch of talent!

Although Huayi was "de-film-singularizing", the cinema chain had never been affected;

The reason was nothing more than the former being in the production field, while the latter was a manifestation of the right to speak in the industry.

Such a large cinema chain was enough to ensure that Huayi would always have a foothold and an invincible position in the film circle!

"Okay, the group is waiting for them, and we'll have a welcome banquet together then."

Yue Jun was quite emotional; it was truly not easy for a female artist who debuted as an idol to enter the film and television circle and get female lead roles one after another.

That's right, just now, Huace announced the female lead candidate for 'The Starry Night, The Starry Sea', adapted from the big IP 'The Starry Night, The Starry Sea': Song Qian, the leader of the South Korean girl group f(x).

"Artists who debuted as idols have an obvious advantage, which is that they bring a large number of fans. This is their advantage, but it is also their shackles, permanent shackles that cannot be broken!

Such artists can never achieve a promotion in status in the film and television industry, can never become the most core popular actresses, let alone big actresses; they can only be idol artists.

Because of their background, they will never be accepted by the traditional 'academic school' in the industry, because idols are at the bottom of the contempt chain, especially those who debuted in South Korea..."

Lin Nan said the most realistic problem in the industry calmly and also gave a conclusion to the girl named Song Qian.

After all, he was from the academic school, so he naturally understood these "iron rules" in the industry.

"Hmm, that's true.

However, Master Huang must be happy; he really likes this kind of TV drama, and every female lead he pairs with is very beautiful, hehe..."

Yue Jun's teasing made Lin Nan laugh instantly:

"He is already an almost perfect male actor; this can be considered one of his few shortcomings. Of course, this is his hobby and cannot be completely defined as a shortcoming."

Just as Yue Jun was about to take over the conversation with a smile, Lin Nan's phone on the desk rang.

He immediately connected the call and joked: "Wang Zong, 'Detective Chinatown' has just been pulled from theaters; you wouldn't be telling me that Enlight is preparing to advance the funds for the split first, right?"

"Split a feather, where would I get 1.3 billion to advance? I ask you, has anyone from Wanda been to your company?"

Wang Changtian's voice was surprisingly serious; Lin Nan and Yue Jun instantly realized the problem.

"From the time I came to the company this morning until now, I haven't seen anyone from Wanda." Lin Nan subconsciously looked at his left wrist; it was just past 10 o'clock.

"You come to Enlight now, let's talk face to face... something happened!"

Hearing this, Lin Nan had to take it seriously.

He stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out of the office, while instructing Yue Jun: "I'll go to Enlight first; if anyone comes to the company, let me know."

"Okay, Lin Dao."

Half an hour after Lin Nan drove away from the company, two Volkswagen commercial vehicles drove to the downstairs of the company.

Not long after, the administration on the third floor ran to Yue Jun's office in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Director Yue, people from Wanda Film are here, wanting to see Lin Dao, looking very formal. I said only you were here... they are waiting on the third floor."

Yue Jun's spirit was lifted, and he said indifferently: "You go first, I'll be there."

Near 11 AM, the entertainment news that Zhang Yimou and Miss Jing Tian Tian returned to Beijing on the same flight made the headlines.

Many people also learned for the first time that these two were actually fellow villagers.

Although at the wrap-up press conference of 'The Great Wall', the two publicly said they were fellow villagers, and Miss Jing Tian Tian often went to Zhang Yimou's place to eat in the crew, but those who knew were a minority after all, not comparable to the "promotional" effect this time.

Lin Nan flipped through the news aimlessly, his brows slightly furrowed, his attention entirely on Wang Changtian's words:

"The Vice President of Wanda Film brought people over and clearly told me: although Ye Ning resigned, Wanda doesn't want to lose Enlight as an ally and partner..."

"Resigned? I said why has that guy Ye Ning been weird for the past few months? Last time he even asked if we had any plans to expand the cinema business, saying a subordinate who had followed him for many years wanted to change the environment!

He's not a subordinate, he's creating a 'friend' out of thin air! Before you came, I called several more times, good guy, it's still turned off..."

Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing rang out; it was Lin Nan's. Wang Changtian immediately quieted down and looked over.

Seeing "Yue Jun" on the screen, Lin Nan guessed it immediately.

"Did Wanda people go to the company?"

"Yes, Lin Dao. Just left; they said Ye Zong submitted his resignation the day before yesterday, Wanda headquarters has already approved it, and it will be announced tomorrow..."

A few minutes later, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Inside the office, it was dead silent.

After a long time, Lin Nan was the first to speak: "I guess Wanda should have sent people to Potato over there today too."

"That's for sure!

There was no wind in the circle about this matter; if it weren't for Wanda people coming over, we would still think Ye Ning was on a long vacation right now!

I'm particularly curious now, what is this guy thinking after leaving Wanda? What are his plans? Wanda is now in its prime, 'sweeping goods' everywhere abroad, buying non-stop..."

Lin Nan didn't listen to what Wang Changtian was saying anymore; his thoughts drifted to the matter of 'Pacific Rim 2'... it was really troublesome!

"Wang Zong?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Wang Changtian looked at Lin Nan.

"Is 'Pacific Rim 2' going to be established? Is Enlight going to follow?"

Before the words fell, Wang Changtian's eyes widened; he pointed at Lin Nan, so excited that he stuttered:

"This, this, does this even need to be asked? There was no Enlight in the first one, I will definitely follow the second one! Hmm? You, you hid this quite well, it's definitely not a sequel prepared on the spur of the moment, right?"

Faced with Old Wang's questioning, Lin Nan nodded with a smile: "It was planned in the first half of last year."

"Then how many companies are there this time? The share won't be pitifully small, right?"

Wang Changtian asked with some worry, because there were 5 producers in the first one, and there were three in China: Lin Nan Film, China Film, and Wanda.

"The share shouldn't be pitifully small. As for how many companies? I replaced China Film with Western Film this time..."

When Lin Nan said the second half of the sentence, his tone was much colder.

Wang Changtian opened his mouth and didn't say anything. This result was unexpected, but it was also reasonable;

After all, it could be seen from 'Detective Chinatown' and 'Operation Mekong' that Lin Nan was intentionally reducing China Film's share, and now it was reduced to 0, which was understandable.

"What about Shanghai Film?"

"Not bringing them, not only will Shanghai Film not have a share, but Lin Nan Film will also not invest this time; it can be considered as giving China Film a final explanation." Lin Nan smiled.

"Explanation? It won't happen that kindness turns into hatred, no need to give an explanation. Besides, your explanation is also a bit empty; Lin Nan Film doesn't invest, then what about Crystal Film?"

Wang Changtian saw through the meaning in Lin Nan's words at a glance.

"Hahaha..." Lin Dao could only smile to cover up his embarrassment.

"Whether to bring China Film or not is your business, but when the time comes, import..."

"Wang Zong, are you stupid?"

Lin Nan interrupted Wang Changtian's words; the latter was stunned, and then patted his forehead with annoyance.

"Oh my, forgot, forgot, I was angered by Ye Ning's matter."

"According to the rules of the Film Bureau, Sino-foreign co-productions only need to be filed for review, cast according to the rules, filmed on location in China, and have at least one-third of Chinese members in the team. The finished film enjoys the same treatment as domestic films, no import needed!"

"Hmm, that's right, so China Film can't hold us hostage."

"Then what about Wanda? They were in the first one, and now over there... I don't know what the result of Ye Ning's matter will be, I don't believe he will go to another industry, after all, more than ten years of connections and qualifications are all in the film and television industry!"

Lin Nan didn't pay attention to Wang Changtian; his gaze looked outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and after a long time, he muttered:

"He's not stupid, naturally he will stay in the film and television industry. But he also has a non-compete agreement; any company that dares to accept or even poach him means they are going to fight Wanda head-on!

Wang Zong, how many companies in the circle do you think have this kind of courage and strength? It can't be a state-owned enterprise, right? State-owned enterprises are never short of talent!"

After speaking, Lin Nan looked at Wang Changtian.

I saw that the expression on Old Wang's face changed, not losing to when he just heard the news of 'Pacific Rim 2', only just now it was excitement and agitation, and at this moment it was shock, shock beyond measure.

"Those two brothers?!

They, they are making too much money in finance, internet, and real estate, and they are floating!"
