Chapter 1920 Good News

Seeing the expression on Zhou Ning's face, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, Jin Cheng would have wanted to lean over and listen to what was being said on the phone.

And after she hung up the phone, she still looked distracted. This expression is not common on Zhou Ning's face now.

Let's put it this way, if this call came from the station, Jin Cheng would have suspected that the station was going to replace her as a host.

"What's wrong? Did they invite us to film at Mr. Feng's house?" He asked with a smile.

Zhou Ning obviously didn't seem to have recovered from his shock. After a while, he said, "You guessed it right. This time, there was another emergency. Mr. Feng's company in the United States successfully reached an acquisition agreement with a film company."

"Film company?" Jin Cheng was stunned.

His first reaction was that Feng Yiping's business in the United States was mainly concentrated on the Internet, which seemed to be somewhat incompatible with film companies.

But when he thought of the previous acquisition of Netflix and the popular YouTube, these two companies were obviously involved in a lot of film companies.

"Which one?" Jin Cheng knew some well-known Hollywood film companies, but his specific knowledge was very limited. Like most people, he had no idea who was strong and who was weak, and who was doing well.

He only knew that it would not be easy to acquire an American film company, and it would not be cheap.

"Manager Zheng said it was a film company called Marvel,"

"Marvel? Are you sure it was Marvel?" Jin Cheng got a little excited.

"It's Marvel, how come you know this company?" Zhou Ning asked.

Jin Cheng did know a little bit. As a man, many people like science fiction movies, and the movies related to Marvel are all science fiction movies.

"Of course, you see, Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Blade..., they all belong to Marvel,"

"Did you ask how much money it cost?"

"Why ask this," Zhou Ning shook his head, "Did you get the point? This means that we may go to the United States with President Feng,"

"Yes, yes, yes, sorry, I was a little excited for a while, haha, now I'm even more excited, we are actually going to go to the United States with President Feng," Jin Cheng laughed.

"The question is, can we go to the United States together?" Zhou Ning was not as optimistic as Jin Cheng.

Going to the United States is not as simple as running from north to south in China. Apart from other things, the cost is not a small amount.

"The station will definitely agree. Think about it, this is our country's acquisition of a well-known American film company. It is such an exciting thing. Since we have encountered it, how can the station not agree to let us go?" Jin Cheng said.

He didn't know whether he was comforting Zhou Ning or comforting himself.

"I'm calling Director Li now," Zhou Ning said.

When she was about to dial, she paused again, "We just announced a merger and acquisition, and now we are going to acquire an American film company. This is really unimaginable,"

"Yes, the world of the richest man is too far away from us," Jin Cheng also shook his head.

Just announced that his subsidiary Jiasheng Mall will take over Alibaba, and now it is going to acquire a well-known American film company like Marvel. It feels like he buys a company like going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

But his vegetables, let alone several lifetimes, even hundreds of lifetimes can't afford it.

The merger with Alibaba was a big deal worth more than 20 billion RMB (Yahoo paid 1 billion USD for 40% of Alibaba, and Feng Yiping obviously would not take advantage of Ma in this regard).

Although Jin Cheng did not know the acquisition price of Marvel, he felt that such a film company with a lot of resources and popular copyrights must be worth at least 1 billion USD, or perhaps 2 billion USD?

That would be another big project worth 10 to 20 billion RMB.

"You said, in comparison, can the money we can earn in this lifetime still be called money?" Jin Cheng said, "For Mr. Feng, money may really be just a number,"

Zhou Ning forgot her previous sigh and forgot to call Li Zhen. She had a strong impulse at this time.

Apart from his wealth and ability, Feng Yiping was not only handsome, but also humorous. Now that he was so close to Feng Yiping, then...

"Hi, hi, Zhou Ning, what's wrong with you?" Jin Cheng said, waving his hand in front of Zhou Ning's eyes. What's wrong with her today? Why does she seem to be completely out of shape?

"Oh, nothing," Zhou Ning finally came back to his senses.

What was I thinking about? Although I have good conditions, the girls around Feng Yiping, just his assistant Wu Qian, are not better than me in any way?

Since Feng Yiping doesn't care about Wu Qian, how could he be attracted to me?

She shook her head, drove such a ridiculous idea out of her mind, adjusted her mood, and called Director Li Zhen, the person in charge of the column.

"Director," Zhou Ning had prepared a lot of speeches, but perhaps it was a reward for her resisting the temptation and impulse just now. After listening to her introduction, Li Zhen was even more excited and excited than him, "Really?"

"Really, this is the news that Ms. Zheng Jiayi, the chief press officer of Jiasheng, just called me to tell me that the agreement has been finalized, and the signing and official announcement will be carried out in three days,"

"She wants to know if our crew will accompany them,"

"Of course, of course," Zhou Ning heard that Li Zhen should stand up over there.

"Haha, this is a rare opportunity, you must go," Li Zhen said, "I will ask them to prepare the relevant procedures,"

"Just want to tell you a good news, our column has been sponsored by a company, and it is a high-priced sponsor,"

"Really?" This time, Zhou Ning couldn't control herself and shouted out loud.

Everyone in the car looked at her. Although they didn't know what it was, seeing her happy expression, they were sure that it was a good thing.

This is naturally a good thing, and it is a great thing!

For a column, whether there will be sponsorship from advertisers is more important than ratings.

"Of course it's true. After watching our first sample film, the companies that the advertising department found all competed to bid," Li Zhen said excitedly, "So, your task is to shoot a high-quality program. Don't worry about other things. We are not short of money now."

A large group of people have gathered around. As soon as Zhou Ning put down the phone, everyone asked a question in unison, "What's the good news?"

"The good news is that our crew will go to the United States with Mr. Feng!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Yeah!" The whole car of people cheered.

For most people, going abroad at public expense, especially to a country like the United States, is always a rare benefit.

As for why he went to the United States, no one asked.

Feng Yiping has so many industries in the United States. As a program that hopes to fully reveal his image to the public, isn't it normal to go to the United States to learn about the situation there?

Jin Cheng, who knew more, was surprised. "How could the director be so generous?"

"After watching the sample of the first episode, our column has already attracted advertising sponsorship, and the advertising fee is very high. Director Li said that these fees are not a problem,"

"It feels good that money is just a number," Jin Cheng said with a smile.

…………

If you want to say who is the happiest after receiving this news, it must be Chen Tao.

Such a big thing has finally been discussed, so there is no doubt that the Jiasheng Media, which he is in charge of, has naturally become the most important company in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Although according to the boss's usual practice, the acquired company will basically still operate based on the original team and it is impossible to be injected into his own Jiasheng Media, but this is naturally for his company to open up the road to Hollywood.

Let's not talk about other things first. If this merger is completed, it means that Jiasheng Media has established a relationship with Hollywood's distribution channels.

He remembered that Feng Yiping had done a lot of analysis on the characteristics of the domestic film and television industry, including the Hong Kong film and television industry. One of the most helpless points was that due to the limited scope of distribution, production companies would gather together to produce some types of works that are currently popular with the audience.

If gambling films are popular, then all gambling films will be made. If gangster films are popular, then everyone will flock to make gangster films. If everyone likes to watch police and gangster films, then everyone will flock to make police and gangster films...

Meteor Garden became popular, and then a lot of gardens came out. My Fair Princess became popular, and suddenly there was a long list of princesses and princesses. Spy war films attracted attention, and then there were various special agent groups...

This reason is also very simple. Just like for Zhou Ning and others, the most important survival indicator of a column is whether there are advertisers sponsoring it. The most important indicator for film and television companies is not to produce conscientious works, but to produce works that will make money.

Film and television works are essentially no different from other works produced on the assembly line. They are all carriers for generating profits.

Those film and television companies that say they are just for art will eventually be abandoned by art.

Based on this premise, it is obviously the safest to launch some projects with lower risks, so it is reasonable to cluster them together.

Therefore, from the perspective of the big screen, there are now very few companies that will launch niche art film projects, or projects with less popular themes.

But if there are channels to find buyers around the world, this situation will naturally be greatly improved. A niche movie with an investment of tens of millions is only a few million euros or US dollars. As long as a buyer is found overseas, it will be recovered.

"Haha," thinking about it, he also laughed. In the future, Jiasheng Media will definitely be the media company in China that dares to invest in the most niche works, which will obviously make friends with many directors and actors.

After all, although many times, under the pressure of reality, everyone will be helpless, there will still be many directors and actors who hope to have the opportunity to produce or perform some works with artistic value.

He then thought, if the General Administration knew this news? Would they look at him differently?

Looking at the momentum today, the General Administration is obviously trying to take sides this time. There have been many precedents. In similar situations, it is always the mainland companies that are wronged.

As for the reason, it is also ready. In this big family, the mainland is the boss. Since it is the boss, it must act like a boss.

So what Chen Tao wants to see most is the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, which has brought the matter to the General Administration.

If many members of the association know that their company has acquired Marvel, will they have any ideas?

That is definitely the case.

Although even a figure like Chow Yun-fat has failed in his attempt to enter Hollywood.

But, just because he couldn't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it either, and if he couldn't do it then, it doesn't mean that he can't do it now.

In front of a possible opportunity, most people will do it like they do in front of a beautiful woman or a rich man, putting aside other problems and jumping in first.

Maybe they will succeed?

Chen Tao is not sure how these Hong Kong colleagues who feel they have a sure win today will perform in the future, but he thinks it will be very exciting.

He is also looking forward to it.

With this news, he doesn't care about things like "the General Administration invites you to have tea" that many people avoid.

Haha, I, Old Chen, have the ability to rise to another level.

He picked up the phone and said to the secretary, "Let them in."

Less than three seconds after he put down the phone, the beautiful women swarmed in, including Xiao Guoguo.

"Mr. Chen, it is said that good things should not flow to outsiders. Since the actors of the group of "Palace" need to be adjusted, why can't we consider our own people?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you also know how hard we have worked recently and how much progress we have made..."

Chen Tao looked at these attractive artists under his company with a smile, and suddenly felt that he was really happy as the boss of a media company.

He was happy enough and finally waved his hand, "Those are nothing. I want to tell you a bigger good news. Please pay attention to your screams,"

"We have reached an acquisition agreement with Marvel. Girls, we are about to successfully acquire a well-known American film company!"

"Wow!" In Chen Tao's office, a scream of piercing clouds and silk suddenly rang out.

Chen Tao was busy looking for headphones. It seems that there is a pair in the office. Where is it?
