Chapter 685: Show Off Your Muscles! The Era of 3 Billion Box Office for Domestic Films Has Officially Arrived!
In a blink of an eye, the time came to nine o'clock in the morning.
What surprised the industry was that almost five hours had passed since the black material broke out, but there was still no movement from Feiyue Film and Television.
It's as if the public relations department has completely lost its role!
But logically speaking, such a large company shouldn't have such a public relations failure?
Moreover, it is the boss of his own company who is being smeared and framed. If there is no movement from the public relations department, then why should they be of any use?
For a time, many people called Chen Fei, wanting to ask if he needed help.
Unfortunately, the feedback they received was still a notification that "the number you dialed is powered off".
Not only was the cell phone whose phone number many people knew was turned off, but even the personal phone was turned off.
Someone tried to contact Liu Yifei, but the final result displayed was still "power off, unable to connect".
For a time, the news in the industry became more intense.
Some people even analyzed that maybe Chen Fei and Liu Yifei have been controlled by relevant departments because they committed crimes abroad?
At ten o'clock in the morning, several messages suddenly posted on Sina Weibo quickly hit the hot search list!
The official website first announced that from now on, the word "Sina" in the prefix of the company name will be officially removed, leaving only the single name "Weibo".
And this also means that the other two companies participating in the "Weibo" business competition have finally come to an end.
Immediately afterwards, Weibo’s official website announced a “Prospectus for the Proposed IPO.”
When the contents of this prospectus were clearly displayed in front of everyone, it directly aroused the attention of the entire film and television industry.
A full 238 pages of content show in detail Sina Weibo from its birth to several financings, as well as all data such as current scale, market share, future prospects, as well as future goals and expectations.
It can be seen from the contents of this prospectus alone that this is a company with great potential and market, and it is very worthy of investors' investment.
The most shocking thing among them is the current shareholding ratio of Weibo that was revealed.
A long time ago, there were actually rumors in the industry that Chen Fei held a lot of shares in Weibo.
Everyone didn't think much about it at first, just thinking that he might only hold a small part and was just an ordinary investor enjoying the dividends.
But when Chen Fei's true shareholding ratio was announced, everyone suddenly realized that their previous guesses were so petty.
“According to the contents of Weibo’s Prospectus for IPO: Longxiang Capital (Chen Fei, the person in charge) has completed shares in Weibo since its inception. After multiple rounds of financing, it still holds 16% of the original stock of Weibo. share.
Once Weibo is officially listed, as the controlling chairman of Longxiang Capital, Chen Fei will become its largest individual shareholder!
and! As the chairman of Longxiang Capital, Director Chen Fei has also participated in investments including Weibo, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Maoyan.com, Xiaomi, Longxiang Aerospace Technology, DJI Drone, CATL, BYD, Huawei, Tencent, JD Finance and other more than 1,000 companies with distinctive technical characteristics, high growth and high development potential have become an investment institution with industry benchmark influence, and are called "the entrepreneurs behind the entrepreneurs" by the investment industry!
According to inquiries, the company's assets under management are approximately US$88.6 billion, equivalent to approximately 700 billion yuan. "
With a series of news exposures, the entire entertainment industry, film and television industry, and even the business industry have completely exploded. All celebrities, artists, company CEOs, etc. just feel like there are gold stars pouring out in front of their eyes.
You know, the fact that Chen Fei is the largest shareholder of Weibo is enough to surprise many people.
Because Weibo is so special in the film and television media industry, it is no exaggeration to say that it almost restricts the entire entertainment industry!
The development of the film and television industry is inseparable from the assistance of Weibo. Before all movies and TV series are screened, Weibo is the preferred promotion channel.
There is so much user data on this platform that it can even determine the box office success or failure of a movie!
There are many producers and brokerage company owners in the industry who love it so much that they even spend a lot of money to invest in it, but they don't do it right.
But now, news suddenly came to light on the Internet, saying that Chen Fei is one of the major shareholders of Weibo!
The emergence of this news is no less than a major earthquake for the entire entertainment industry!
And more importantly, Weibo is just the tip of the iceberg of Chen Fei's assets. Longxiang Capital, which he controls, is actually the largest VC investment institution in the country!
The entire film and television industry knows exactly what such a huge scale means.
If Chen Fei wanted to, he could even directly buy out all four companies including Huayi, Guangguang, Bona, and Chengtian.
At this time, everyone finally understood why he would not let Feiyue Film and Television go on the market.
With such terrifying financial strength in hand, why do you still go to the market?
That's more than 700 billion yuan. When piled up, it's hundreds of meters high. If it collapses, it can kill people directly!
But now, these all belong to Chen Fei alone.
The business world is in turmoil because of this news, and the entertainment world has been hit into a mess.
When these news were released by the media, everyone looked at the negative information about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei on Weibo and felt extremely ironic.
Playing tricks on platforms controlled by others and discrediting the platform owners, what's the difference between this and being a fool?
When seeing the online media platforms directly or indirectly controlled by Longxiang Capital, many companies in the industry who are very good at using water armies suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.
Because this means that Chen Fei will be invincible on all online media in the future.
Even the people around him, Feiyue Film and Television, Feiyinghuang Agency, etc., can get his support, so as to avoid some unnecessary smears and slanders.
Even those who play tricks behind the scenes will have nowhere to hide in front of him.
The explosive news and public opinion orientation that outsiders need to spend a lot of money to create are just a matter of changing the code in front of him.
When this huge gap appeared, many people in the industry couldn't hold it on the spot.
Tangren
Cai Yinong's body was shaking constantly at this moment. It was not because of cold, but because she was scared!
In this smear campaign against Chen Fei and Liu Yifei caused by "red eye disease", Tangren was also one of the participants.
And because she had a lot of water armies in her hands, two-thirds of the water armies that were still active on the Internet were arranged by her.
The remaining 1/3 were arranged by other companies.
In order to achieve the expected goal, they deliberately chose a time when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were both abroad and the public relations department was not at work, and directly deployed a large number of water armies.
The effect was very significant. Many netizens who did not know the reason were led into the ditch and began to target Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, and even ran to the bottom of their Weibo and called them "traitors" and "traitors".
As for the root cause, these netizens did not know at all and would not care.
They were just joining in the fun and following the water army to engage in cyber violence.
But now, after Chen Fei directly "stopped pretending and showed his cards", these instigators, including Tangren, could not sit still.
You know, the current film and television entertainment industry is completely inseparable from the Internet channel, and now Chen Fei has occupied Weibo, the largest media platform for discourse power.
This also means that he only needs to give the next order to clean up all the negative information about him on the Internet.
On the other hand, those who target him will not last long if they encounter a thunderous counterattack!
"What should I do? What should I do now?"
Cai Yinong felt that she had a headache. If Chen Fei turned around to retaliate against her, she had no idea how to resist.
"By the way, I still have allies. If I join forces with other companies, there may be a glimmer of hope..."
Cai Yinong said naggingly, and quickly picked up the phone and called Wang Zhonglei.
At this time, Huayi.
When he saw the phone screen on the table light up, Wang Zhonglei looked sideways with some annoyance.
Looking at the three words "Cai Yinong", he felt his head swell and his heart was even more upset.
After pressing the hang-up button and turning off the phone, he looked up at Wang Zhongjun, frowned and asked: "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Alas!"
Wang Zhongjun sighed and was also very upset.
Huayi has gone through 21 years of ups and downs. Over the years, relying on its position in the industry and the means of controlling public opinion, it has suppressed countless artists.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet.
Now it's good, not only are my shoes wet, but even my whole body has fallen into the water.
After thinking for a while, Wang Zhongjun stood up and walked out, saying, "I'll go find the person above. You go down first and make arrangements to remove all the water army and try to push the responsibility to Chengtian, Bona and Tangren.
We failed this time. Try to avoid him in the future and don't provoke him again."
Apart from a little headache, Wang Zhongjun was not as scared as Cai Yinong.
Huayi is still very different from other companies. As the first private film and television company successfully listed in China, there are people above who are taking care of it.
Even if Chen Fei will retaliate, I think he will not do it too much. After all, Huayi has a person with a national character at the beginning of the name.
As long as Huayi can develop better and better in the future, no one can touch them!
Here, the two brothers of the Wang family are trying to make up for it, while on the other side, Bona, Chengtian and Tangren are also thinking about their own remedies.
At Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at the news on the Internet and were speechless for a long time.
At this moment, the two of them inexplicably felt like they had walked around the gates of hell!
A few hours ago, when she saw the negative information about Liu Yifei on the Internet, Zeng Jia also bought a lot of press releases, ready to "pull down the wall when everyone falls".
Yang Mi did not refuse this, but chose to acquiesce.
She actually wanted to experience the feeling of "one whale falls, all things come to life".
However, before they could take action, a lot of news that caused a crazy earthquake in the entire entertainment industry suddenly appeared on the Internet.
"Fortunately, we were a step slower, otherwise we would have been finished!"
Zeng Jia said with lingering fear, secretly thanking herself that she had not done anything stupid yet.
Yang Mi did not answer, because her mind was in a mess.
Since leaving Feiyinghuang Agency, she felt more and more that she seemed to have been doing stupid things!
Especially the decision to film "Tiny Times", although it brought her considerable income, it also affected her subsequent arrangements.
Many crews clearly stated that they would no longer accept her auditions because she played a role with a wrong outlook on life.
The "cause" planted before has now all turned into "bitter fruit"!
After filming "Breakup Master", she has been looking for a new crew, but she has never found a suitable one, which makes her, a "model worker", very uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Zeng Jia suddenly said: "Mi Mi, I just helped you take a new play yesterday, this is the script."
Hearing this, Yang Mi frowned slightly: "Another commercial film?"
She no longer wants to act in commercial films, because in her opinion, as an actor, she must need an art film that can carry the tripod and participate in the award-winning.
This is the foundation for her to establish her position in the circle.
Zeng Jia's behavior of helping her take on roles without permission made her very dissatisfied.
This feeling was like suddenly falling into a cage and losing the freedom she should have.
Zeng Jia seemed to have noticed Yang Mi's dissatisfaction and explained: "This is a film adapted from the 2011 South Korean crime suspense film "Blind Witness", directed by the famous South Korean director An Sang-hoon."
Hearing this, Yang Mi's face eased a little.
Since it is a crime suspect film, it must have great requirements for the actors' acting skills, which is in line with her goal.
And the next second, Zeng Jia continued to say: "Your partner is currently the most popular traffic star in China, EXO member Lu Han."
Hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes lit up!
She thought that her box office appeal was still good, and that Lu Han, not to mention, could create a Guinness World Record just by forwarding a Weibo post, which has verified how terrifying her number of fans is!
The cooperation between the two can ensure the box office performance of the film and create a breaking circle effect, which can be said to be the best of both worlds!
Yang Mi asked, "Where's the script? I'll take it back and have a look."
"Here."
Zeng Jia took out the script from the drawer under the desk and handed it over.
Looking at Yang Mi's back as she turned and left, her face gradually darkened.
She thought she had completely controlled Yang Mi and turned her into a worker, but from the conversation between the two just now, Yang Mi seemed to be a little "resistant".
"Heh, then just keep playing!"
She snorted coldly, and a lot of bad ideas popped up in her mind again.
Since opening this media company, Zeng Jia has regarded herself as the boss, and although Yang Mi has always regarded herself as a partner, in her opinion, Yang Mi is just a senior worker working for her.
In order to make this worker work honestly and in accordance with the rules in the future, she has arranged many means and strategies.
...
Time soon came to noon, when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei posted a certificate of "Chinese citizen" under their personal Weibo accounts respectively, all rumors were broken.
Until then, many people in the industry suddenly discovered that Liu Yifei had become a Chinese citizen, not a Chinese American.
Immediately afterwards, Weibo and other entertainment news websites simultaneously made efforts to successfully remove many malicious comments, public opinions, and slanderous remarks on the Internet.
In just one hour, the Internet returned to calm, and all the rumors about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei disappeared without a trace.
Although many people are still discussing Chen Fei's identity as the chairman of Longxiang Capital, Liu Yifei successfully withdrew and broke free from the siege of public opinion.
Seeing this situation, a number of film and television production companies and brokerage companies in the industry were envious again.
This is the benefit of mastering the media's discourse power, and you can always get out of the matter in the shortest time.
...
Chen Fei's mobile phone finally turned on.
As expected, one call after another came in continuously, either to send congratulations or to inquire about the news.
After picking some topics to talk about briefly, he threw himself into the filming of "The Revenant" again.
As for the "behind-the-scenes masters" such as Tangren, Huayi, Bona, and Orange Sky, he had already made arrangements.
They are just a group of small grasshoppers, they won't jump for too long.
Time quickly turned to late March, and the filming of "The Revenant" moved from Canada to Argentina.
At the same time, the mainland film industry ushered in a brand new era!
"The sci-fi film "The Martian", directed by Guo Fan and starring Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming and others, has officially entered the 3 billion box office mark today!"
"There are still 10 days before the film is released, and the box office is expected to rise significantly."
"The Chinese-language film market has officially entered the 3 billion box office era!"
"Feiyue Film and Television has once again broken the domestic film box office record. Its contracted director Guo Fan has become the first director of the 3 billion box office club for domestic films. Chen Fei and Liu Yifei have officially entered the 3 billion box office club actor list, standing out from the crowd!"
As hot news continues to emerge one after another, the entire film industry feels like "changing the world".
It just entered the 2 billion box office era two months ago. How come it suddenly entered the 3 billion box office era?
Chen Fei received a call from Guo Fan from China.
"Director Chen? I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"What do you think? Why don't you try slapping yourself? See if it hurts?"
He just said it casually, never thinking that the next second he actually heard a "pop" sound coming from the phone.
"Fuck! It hurts! It's not a dream! This horse riding is real! I have become a director in the 3 billion box office club of Chinese-language movies!"
Listening to the excited roar, Chen Fei just smiled softly and acted very calmly.
He himself is already a director with a global box office of tens of billions of dollars. A small Chinese-language film only has a box office of 3 billion, which is not enough to make him shout excitedly, or even cause waves in his heart.
After venting his inner excitement, Guo Fan finally got down to business:
"Director Chen, I have created a new script and have sent it to your email. If you have time, please give me some advice and see if there is anything that needs improvement."
New script?
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, he responded casually: "Okay, after today's filming is finished, I will watch it when I get back."
