Chapter 783: Huanxi's goal; Lin Dao is going to take a loan!

~10 min read 1,933 words

After Ang Lee's "Director Forum" ended, the vast majority of guests did not stay too long at the Film Academy; a group of people seemed to disperse like birds and beasts, quickly disappearing from the media's field of vision.

Only Lin Nan and Ning Hao were leisurely like unemployed vagrants, still eating in the school canteen, swiping Old Jiang's card.

"Dong Ping wants to dig Director Zhang, what do you think?"

"Director Zhang Yimou's contract with LeTV should expire at the end of May the year after next, right? This is still more than a year and a half!" Lin Nan glanced at Ning Hao and said expressionlessly.

"Mm, I know. But didn't Director Zhang and the others get pitted to their grandmother's house by LeTV?"

"Especially Director Zhang himself, he tossed for a lifetime, but in the end, he was eaten clean by LeTV, bones and marrow. This is even more ruthless than Zhang Weiping."

"In addition, Dong Ping heard some wind from other places, and he firmly believes that LeTV cannot survive this wave, and how could Director Zhang renew the contract? It is even in a state of being in the same bed but different dreams and being separated from each other!"

Ning Hao lowered his voice, his expression was unusually serious and earnest, so that Lin Nan didn't know what to say for a while.

Well, Dong Ping is indeed keen, and very courageous. Isn't Zhang Yimou eaten clean? I heard that even the pay for *The Great Wall* was invested by him in the first half of the year, increasing his shares in LeTV!

"So how do you plan to do it?"

"There will definitely be no fewer competitors in the circle. Dong Ping plans to contact Director Zhang first, striving to win him over within a year next year... seamless connection in the first half of the year after next!"

Ning Hao said, his demeanor was already eager to try. Lin Nan nodded, Huanxi's decision was indeed very meticulous, nothing to say. As for their competitors, there are indeed quite a few.

"I can only promise you that I will not reveal your matter." Lin Nan said with words in his words.

"Are there other companies that have the idea of digging people?" Ning Hao is not stupid, and instantly heard the subtext from Lin Dao's words.

Lin Nan didn't speak and continued to eat. When the two Zhangs broke up, Enlight threw an olive branch to Zhang Yimou, but it didn't succeed. This time, Old Wang still has ideas.

Hearing the matter revealed by Ning Hao, Lin Nan, as a third party who is familiar with both Enlight and Huanxi and has no conflict of interest, can only remain silent, helping neither side and offending neither side.

Although he didn't get a response, Ning Hao didn't pursue it anymore. Whether it is the answer or not, it is actually not important, because all parties who have ideas know very well: there will definitely be competitors, that is Zhang Yimou!

……

The behind-the-scenes main force of *Pacific Rim 2* set off for Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis on the morning of the 3rd. All subsequent logistics support work, according to the original plan, will be assisted by Wanda and Enlight.

And on the morning of the 4th, Marvel's *Doctor Strange* under Disney also officially met with domestic audiences; at the current stage, the appeal of the superhero series is simply unparalleled, with a super high screening rate of 36.5% on the first day, which is evident!

Up to this point, *Mr. Donkey* has been released for a full week. Its total box office reached 150 million, but the daily box office for the next period is destined to be unusually difficult!

At 10:00 AM, China Film announced another batch of imported film schedules; these films are the opening guns for next year, and they will be released starting from March after the Spring Festival slot.

Among them, there are *Kong: Skull Island* produced by Warner and Legendary Pictures, with Jing Tian as the second female lead; and *Beauty and the Beast* (live-action version) produced by Disney and starring Emma Watson...

A group of films are all sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters that are undoubtedly Hollywood, which is very eye-catching!

At the same time, in the afternoon, the information of two Chinese films also landed, becoming the focus of attention in the circle, especially the latter.

"Jointly produced by Bad Monkey Films, Red Star Dock, and Huang Bo Studio, written by Xing Aina, produced by Xing Aina and Liu Yifei, Huang Bo's film director debut *The Island*, passed the script review today."

"Huang Bo Studio official Weibo posted: From today, the film *The Island* is officially established, and casting begins..."

"In the morning, Zhang Yimou director studio released the film project announcement to the outside world: Following *The Great Wall*, Zhang Yimou director's new work *Shadow* has submitted the script for review today. Trial casting work will be carried out simultaneously..."

"Media called Zhang Yimou director studio to learn: The film *Shadow* is an ancient costume, martial arts, action blockbuster, Zhang Yimou director will integrate ink painting style into the film lens, which is also his first time to dabble in this style, a bold breakthrough..."

……

Compared with Huang Bo and Zhang Yimou, the entire film and television circle is undoubtedly focusing on Zhang Yimou's new film!

And the gimmicks of ancient costume, martial arts, and action blockbuster also made all industry insiders and actors think of Zhang Yimou's two masterpieces more than ten years ago: *Hero* and *House of Flying Daggers*!

"This is a big cake! It's a pity that there is no role suitable for me, otherwise I would like to try it."

Lin Nan got off work early again, and before he walked into the door, he heard the chattering voices in the house, it was Watching Shu Chang.

"This film is exclusively produced by LeTV, let alone there is no role suitable for you, even if there is, it is highly likely that you can't get it."

Lin Nan unceremoniously hit the few women in the living room, because LeTV will definitely favor actors who have interests with themselves or are close, and LeTV is already in that bird-like state, how can it give resources to outsiders who are not related?

"There are so many big directors who have opened new films in the second half of this year and the first half of next year, the film market behind will definitely be a dragon and tiger fight!" Han Jia nodded and affirmed.

"Lin Dao, off work?" Tang Yan asked with a smile; she had just attended the premiere press conference for *The Princess Weiyoung* this morning and was here to bum a meal. "Wishing Boss Tang's new drama a great start." Lin Nan joked and cupped his hands in a salute.

The online broadcast copyright of *The Princess Weiyoung* was sold to Tudou, and the price was very good. As for the TV station, it was synchronized by Dragon TV and Beijing TV, and it started on Singles' Day.

"Then borrow Lin Dao's auspicious words, thank you." Tang Yan learned to hug his fist, she is one of the producers.

"Alright, alright, don't be polite. You go to the wine cellar to pick a bottle of red wine first, the restaurant's delivery car will be here in a while, and we will entertain Tang Tang today."

Liu Yifei clapped her hands and urged Lin Nan. She also got up and took the three women to tidy up the dining table. The cups and tableware must be set up first.

Fifteen minutes later, the restaurant's car arrived. After setting the plates quickly, only four women sat around. Because it was very unfortunate, a phone call came, looking for Lin Nan.

"Is the time for the general meeting set?" Sitting on the sofa alone, Lin Nan connected to the call from Cao Guowei's secretary.

"Yes, Lin Dao. Chairman Cao rushed to the dinner party just now. Before leaving, he asked me to notify all original shareholders that our meeting time was moved from the middle of December to the morning of December 1st. You must come early..."

"Can you tell me what the content of this general meeting is?"

When Lin Nan went to Tudou to participate in the meeting about Tudou's listing before, although he had heard the Weibo executives mention it, he was still pretending to be ignorant at this moment, inquiring.

"The specific content may be a bit much, but the most important one is that we will completely break with the ByteDance system in the future, and the two sides will be pure competitors in the future;"

"Chairman Cao wants to sell the shares of the ByteDance system held by our Weibo, but you know, this kind of thing requires all original shareholders with voting rights to vote and pass;"

"Although Lin Dao, you entrusted the voting rights to Chairman Cao very early, but this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Chairman Cao still feels that it is better for you to come in person, it seems like he mentioned it to you once before?"

Because Lin Nan is a major shareholder with 16% of the shares, the secretary knew everything.

"Mm, it was mentioned once to let me support him. Alright, I know, you tell Chairman Cao, I will arrive on time."

"Okay, Lin Dao. Then I won't disturb your..."

The voice on the phone, Lin Nan could no longer listen. His hand was trembling, it seems... should it be excited?

"Lin Nan, come and eat, there is something you like..."

"Xixi, you guys eat first. I have something to do, I have to go to the study to deal with it first." Speaking, Lin Nan got up and walked to the stairs.

On the dining table, Watching Shu Chang and the three looked at Liu Yifei, their eyes full of inquiry.

And Miss Liu also frowned, but instantly relaxed, helplessly: "It should be a very important thing, otherwise Lin Nan would not delay the meal time."

"Isn't it, you two are 'lazy people', not important things are never in a hurry." Watching Shu Chang complained with a lip, and Han Jia and Tang Yan nodded happily.

"Hee hee, eat, let's start first, don't wait for him..."

In the study, Lin Nan made a phone call.

……

"In the near future, I may need a large amount of funds..."

"Lin Dao, is there a specific time needed?"

"Fast two months, slow three or four months." Lin Nan pondered and gave a time period.

"Okay, no problem. ICBC will be ready at any time. Lin Dao, just make a phone call to tell me the specific amount of funds."

"I have been waiting for you to open your mouth, it is really not easy to eat some interest! Rest assured, the interest rate given to you is definitely the lowest, haha..."

Lin Nan endured the laughter, didn't scold it out, and really waited to earn his money? But that's it, being able to use the bank's money to do his own things, that is naturally using the bank's first!

"For them, I am still too high-quality as a customer! Mm?" Just hung up the phone, Yue Jun's came again.

"Speak, I am preparing to eat."

"Lin Dao, Bona just sent an invitation letter. Their first round of financing dinner is set for the evening of the 1st of next month, wanting to invite you..."
