Chapter 672: Get Rid of the Monotony of Movies? Huaxiaxing Has Been Delisted! The Light Boat Has Passed Through Thousands of Mountains!

From the beginning of the company's establishment, the two Wang brothers have been promoting Huayi as the No. 1 private film and television company in the industry!

When the company went public, this statement was indeed endorsed by many people.

But now, as Feiyue Film and Television continues to soar until it has produced a movie with a box office of over 2 billion, the two Wang brothers finally cannot calm down.

If we don’t regain some of the popularity quickly, then half of Huayi’s efforts over the years will be in vain.

It just so happened that Huayi was going to hold the "Twentieth Anniversary of the Group and Shareholders' Meeting" in the near future, so the two brothers plotted to prepare for a big one!

Not long after the crew of "The Martian" announced that the premiere would be held at the Bird's Nest, Huayi's shareholder meeting followed closely behind.

Because Chen Fei had sold off his shares in Huayi a long time ago, he was naturally not qualified to attend this shareholders' meeting.

However, it doesn’t really matter whether you attend or not, because the media at the scene once again began to synchronize the relevant content of Huayi’s shareholders’ meeting on Weibo.

It can be seen from the published on-site photos and videos that the splendid atmosphere of this shareholders' meeting is not ordinary!

Not only were banners hung all over the hotel, hundreds of meters of red carpet were laid out, as well as various flower baskets!

Those who can step on the red carpet, without exception, are all big names, producers, actors, etc. in the industry who have close cooperation with Huayi.

Chen Fei even saw Ma Yun in the photos of the scene released by the media.

Others such as Xu Ke, Gu Changwei, Li Bingbin, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Dabeard, Feng Xiaogang and others are all absent.

After paying attention for a few minutes, Chen Fei looked away.

He planned to wait until the conference over there was over before going online to see if the two Wang brothers had come up with any new operations.

Before that, he had to go to the filming site of "Nirvana in Fire".

The crew will first shoot some scenes at the Huairou Film and Television City in the capital, so they will also hold the opening ceremony here.

Although most of the media went to Huayi today, when Chen Fei arrived at the scene, he still saw a lot of media and reporters.

"Good morning, Director Chen!"

"Director Chen! Is it convenient for me to be interviewed?"

"Director Chen, what do you think of the many scandals about Hu Ge and Liu Shishi that have been revealed on the Internet recently? Is choosing them as the leading actors of "Nirvana in Fire" really suspected of riding on the popularity of "Sword and Sword 3"?"

This group of reporters was afraid that the world would be in chaos, so they asked pointed questions.

Chen Fei actually didn't want to answer these questions, but seeing more and more people gathered around him, he simply replied:

"I unconditionally believe in the character of Hu Ge and Liu Shishi. I hope all netizens and fans can be sensible and correctly view the various rumors spread by some people on the Internet. I always believe that rumors will stop at the wise..."

After saying this, he quickly walked into the set under the protection of security guards.

The year-end bonuses of the public relations department of Feiyue Film and Television have all been deducted. The reason is very simple. They appear too weak and insignificant when facing the siege of public opinion from all sides.

Weibo had always been in control before, but now Chen Fei deliberately let Weibo loose its restrictions, and the public relations department was suddenly confused!

Facing the overwhelming trolls and public opinion, they are unable to fight back!

The original public relations manager had been fired by Chen Fei, and he deliberately hired one from Bona at a high price.

The newly appointed person is quite capable. He has controlled many scattered rumors recently and protected the reputation of the company's artists in a timely manner.

After the new public relations manager passed the test, Chen Fei specifically contacted Weibo. The two parties are currently working together to control public opinion. I believe it will not take long for things to return to normal.

As soon as he entered the set, Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Jiang Xuerou and others came to greet him.

Also coming along was mainland male director Li Ha.

This former photographer of "Crossing Guandong" and the screenwriter of the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was specially invited by Jiang Xuerou to shoot "Nirvana in Fire".

These contracted directors under Feiyue Film and Television have now officially entered the film industry, and they have their own business to be busy with, so they can only find people from outside to make TV series.

And Li Hao is undoubtedly a good choice.

Jiang Xuerou, a professional producer and supervisor, will also help on site to ensure the smooth progress of the filming.

"Mr. Chen, you are here."

"How's it going? Can we start?"

"Well, that's all. It's all ready."

After a brief greeting, Li Hedong and Jiang Xuerou turned around and went to the crew and began to prepare for the next start-up ceremony.

Chen Fei briefly chatted with Hu Ge and Liu Shishi.

"It is no exaggeration to say that if this drama is successfully filmed, it will benefit both of you as much as the "Sword and Fairy" series, so you must film it well!

You don’t need to give a chance to those voices from the outside. They are just a group of trolls and black men setting the pace. I will let the public relations handle it. Your task is just to make this drama good..."

With Chen Fei's patient guidance, the tense heartstrings between the two people also relaxed a lot.

The start-up ceremony went smoothly, and the crew took advantage of the opportunity to announce the start-up.

The media who can be invited to the crew will definitely not ask random questions. Everyone talks about the crew and filming, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Under Li Yu's arrangement, the first scene of "Nirvana in Fire" officially kicked off in Huairou.

After staying at the shooting site for a while, Chen Fei and Jiang Xueruo said hello and left the crew in advance.

At this time, Liu Shishi, who was at the shooting site, suddenly turned her head and watched Chen Fei get into the car and leave. The corners of her mouth opened and closed slightly, and she uttered a barely detectable "thank you"!

If it weren't for Chen Fei, I'm afraid she would still be struggling in the quagmire of Tangren, unable to escape.

Even if she didn't renew her contract with Tangren, in order to avoid Cai Yinong's various thundering methods, she would probably choose to retire, or just find an old man with power or connections to marry.

But now everything is getting better, and she feels great with Feiyinghuang Agency behind her!

Not only is the company atmosphere very good, but there are also a steady stream of resources for her to choose from, and the agent will not force her to go out to accompany clients and sponsors.

This feeling is really great!

She even considered this place her home!

…

There was another show to be recorded in the evening, so Chen Fei went back home and prepared to change clothes.

When he left home, Huayi's "20th Anniversary of the Group's Establishment and Shareholders' Meeting" had already ended successfully.

Opening Weibo, you can clearly see that there are a lot of content about the meeting on the homepage interface.

However, the most noteworthy and also the first on the hot search list is a sentence said by Wang Zhonglei:

[Get rid of the single development route of movies! 】

"Hey!"

Looking at these words, Chen Fei laughed on the spot.

Sure enough, the operation is late but it comes!

If it is essentially, this route is indeed a very good way, which can allow Huayi to have multiple branches to complete the expansion of various industries and accumulate a lot of background...

But there is a most critical problem that the "get rid of the single development route of movies" is extremely difficult to operate in practice. If you don't play it well, it will ruin the entire basic plate!

Chen Fei clicked into this hot search, and then saw a reprint of Wang Zhonglei's speech at the press conference.

"From today on, Huayi will no longer engage in artist brokerage business, but will switch to the model of cooperating with artists to open studios. So far, we have opened 76 studios, and our partners are all second-tier and above.

The profits of movies and TV series are very limited, coupled with the increase in production and artist operating costs, which makes artist brokerage no longer a good choice.

In the future, Huayi will focus more on diversified channels such as theme parks, tourism, the Internet, finance, electronic products, and cultural towns, and open up more routes..."

Intuitively speaking, that "route" is actually equivalent to "profit channel".

In short, Huayi's shareholders' meeting today is announcing to the outside world: From now on, we will be involved in more businesses and make more money. Shareholders, come and buy our stocks!

I have to say that the effect is really good.

The online discussion is high, and even a daily limit has been set for Huayi's stocks.

However, there are also many people who remain rational.

Back then, Huayi was listed as a film and television company, and the government gave so much support and held such high expectations.

But now, Huayi has turned around halfway and is heading for real estate, finance, and the Internet.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the above?

It would be fine if it could succeed, but in Chen Fei's memory, Huayi seemed to have lost the film industry when it was heading for a single film development route!

In the end, they didn't want the basic market anymore, and they have been learning from companies like Wanda, Alibaba, and Tencent, trying to combine the strengths of many companies into one.

But what was the final result?

"If I remember correctly, 20 years later, Huayi's stock price seems to have fallen below 3 yuan, right?"

After muttering to himself, Chen Fei turned off Weibo, found Zhou Shouzi's phone number, and called him directly.

"Pay attention to Huayi's stock trend these two days, and take this opportunity to sell all the stocks you bought from the secondary market."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Zhou Shouzi responded and immediately arranged it.

…

The next day, Huayi's stock price once again hit a daily limit, and "de-filming single development route" became a hot topic on the Internet.

The news of the start of "Nirvana in Fire" was also released, but under Huayi's suppression, it was a bit difficult to get out for a while.

However, in the entertainment industry, there will always be a big fish jumping out from time to time, and it will blow up the water!

Just when the two brothers of the Wang family were enjoying the attention of the public and the ever-increasing market value, a big news suddenly broke out in Hong Kong!

"Huaxiaxing, delisted!"

When the Hong Kong media first exposed this news, domestic stockholders and film and television industry practitioners suddenly discovered that Huaxiaxing's stock price had been falling since the box office failure of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".

Until now, after countless daily limits, it has finally ushered in the day of forced delisting!

In just half a day, the news in the circle spread everywhere!

"All the film and television copyrights of Huaxiaxing have been sold off."

"According to well-known sources, the Xiang family has encountered the biggest economic crisis in history and has to sell off a large number of assets in exchange for cash."

"According to US media reports, the IRS is suspected of issuing a sky-high fine to a certain film and television company in Asia..."

When a listed company is forced to delist, the chain reaction will be terrifying!

If the interests of investors are harmed, the company's management will certainly not be spared.

"Some investors have already gathered downstairs of the Huaxia Star Company building, holding up banners and demanding compensation for their losses..."

Listening to the news brought by Huo Qigang, Chen Fei was extremely happy.

After working behind the scenes for so long, it finally paid off.

This time, Huaxia Star no longer has the capital to make a comeback. Apart from switching careers to operating hotels and casinos, the two brothers Xiang Huaqiang have no hope of continuing to touch the film and television industry.

This kind of incident, which caused violent turmoil in the film and television and financial circles, did not affect the smooth operation of the crew.

"Legend of White Ghost: Escape" has been launched very smoothly, but the investment share that originally belonged to China Star was divided between LeTV and Huayi.

Up to now, the investors have changed to seven companies: Bona, LeTV, Huayi, Alibaba, Huang Xiaoming Studio, Max Media, and Yunnan Film Group.

In addition, Yang Caiyu, a newly signed artist from Chen Jingfei's company, also successfully joined the crew and became the second female lead after Yang Ying.

"What are you laughing at?"

On the sofa, Liu Yifei, who was nestling in Chen Fei's arms, looked curiously at her smiling boyfriend, with doubts on her face.

"I wonder if this movie will make several investors cry because of their losses."

After taking a look at the name "Legend of White Ghost: Escape", Liu Yifei asked curiously: "Is this movie really that bad?"

Chen Fei nodded with certainty: "Believe me, it's not just bad. If this script were placed in Hollywood, no one would take a second look."

"All right."

Liu Yifei didn't have much to say, after all, Hongxingwu had completely severed ties with Chen Jingfei.

She has also seen that Yang Caiyu, but it can only be said that it was fate that played a trick on people...

Several movies that will be released during the Spring Festival have begun to hold premieres one after another.

Because there is New Year's Eve in between, the movie premiere will definitely have to be advanced a few days, or even a week.

The premiere of "The Martian" has been confirmed, and it will be on January 25th.

During this period of time, in addition to running promotions with other creators, Chen Fei has been following up on matters related to the premiere.

He does not need to be responsible for the venue, organization, security, etc. The film bureau will coordinate multiple departments and make unified arrangements.

What he needs to do now is the invitation and selection of guests.

Naturally, there is no need for him to make arrangements here in the mainland. The relevant lists and invitations have already been determined and are being delivered one by one in the past few days.

The most important thing now is abroad, that is, Hollywood!

According to Chen Fei's initial thoughts, he was actually planning to send invitation letters only to people who had cooperative relationships with Walton Pictures.

But after communicating with Natasha, he felt that this was not enough to demonstrate the grandeur of holding a premiere at the Bird's Nest.

So after careful consideration, he simply extended the scope of invitations to the six major Hollywood companies and even those independent production companies.

He didn't expect everyone invited to come, just some people or even representatives could come.

This is also a unique way to show off your connections and muscles.

It can not only have an impact on the domestic film and television industry, but also take this opportunity to publicize the development of the domestic film and television industry in recent years. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!

…

Well, Chen Fei's side is "beautiful", but Zhang Yimou's side is a bit "miserable".

From being reported for being a child in 2012, to voluntarily admitting his punishment when "Return" was released 4 months ago, Lao Mouzi's matter has been involved for two full years.

In short, Zhang Yimou, who is affectionately known as the "National Master" by movie fans, has won two Golden Lions, a Golden Bear, and numerous awards at three major European film festivals, has an annual salary of only a pitiful eight Number of digits!

Even if the remuneration is not included, and only the dividends from the copyrights of these movies are calculated, logically speaking, it should not be just this little!

You know, Zhang Yimou is the first person to lead domestic films to officially embark on the "commercialization path". After calculating his salary and dividends over the years, he should be in nine figures no matter how bad he is!

Now after the news broke, everyone discovered that the director's salary and dividends he received were probably not as much as Guo Jingming's.

Suddenly, a lot of curses suddenly appeared on the Internet, and Zhang Weiping directly became the target of the fire!

"Made, how dark is this feeling!"

"Is it true that I treat you as a brother and you treat me as a tool?"

"Zhang Yimou is so pitiful. After working for Xinpi for so many years, he has been cheated for so long. Isn't it too tragic?"

"Zhang Weiping is so vicious! No wonder he has no friends. If this continues, he will be destroyed sooner or later!"

“Support Zhang Yimou’s rights protection! We must get the money back!”

Looking at the news on the Internet, Chen Fei inexplicably recalled the scene when he was on the set of "Hero".

I remember that at the beginning, he had tormented Lao Mouzi a lot.

"Oh, I am 64 years old. I have spent most of my life struggling. Now I can say that I have crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
