Chapter 844 Only the Money You Put Into Your Own Pocket Can Be Considered Yours
Ever since he made a bet with Chen Fei, Zhang Hao has been paying attention to the news on Feiyue Film and Television.
Now, as the two projects "Zhu Xian" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" have been confirmed one after another, he suddenly feels the pressure doubled!
Although compared to the very popular "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", the IP popularity of "Zhu Xian" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" is not very high.
But the problem is that the quality of the original novels of the latter two is not bad, and the fan stickiness is also very high.
And the most important thing is that Feiyue Film and Television’s slogan of “only producing high-quality products” has spread in the film and television industry and even on the Internet.
Under such circumstances, many passerby fans will naturally be attracted to the work after it goes online.
In addition, the casts of these two works are all top-notch in the industry, which greatly increases the success rate of the works after they are launched.
Yang Mi faced off against Zhao Liying; Jing Tian and Yang Yang faced off against the "fairy sword" combination of Hu Ge + Liu Shishi + Tang Yan.
Looking at the two lineups, who will lose and who will win suddenly becomes unknown!
"This bet is not easy to win!"
In the office, Zhang Rong murmured and began to think about how to arrange the follow-up arrangements in order to keep the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" high on the hot search list.
After thinking about it, the "gold finger" of "big data" soon appeared in his mind.
"If I deliberately target a specific group of movie fans and audiences with promotional resources, I think they will definitely participate in the discussion, and then I can expand the scope from point to point, and I think it will definitely produce good results..."
The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this method was very feasible. He immediately called the project leader and asked them to draw up a detailed PPT plan and start implementing it immediately.
At the same time, at Huayi, the two brothers of the Wang family couldn't help but feel an unknown fire rising in their hearts when they looked at "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", which was pushed to seventh on the hot search list.
"Haha, you are grabbing the hot search, right? You are really awesome at Feiyue Film and Television. I want to see how long you can stay awesome!"
Wang Zhonglei's face was very ugly. If eyes could kill, Chen Fei would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
He originally thought about letting "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" stay on the hot search list for a few more days, taking the opportunity to increase the stock price.
But I never expected that within a few hours, the hot search would already be suppressed.
The expected goal was not achieved at all, not to mention how depressing it felt!
At this time, Wang Zhongjun suddenly spoke: "In that case, let's let the news out. This time, we will also make him leap into the film and television industry!"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
As soon as Wang Zhonglei heard this, he walked out happily and went straight to the public relations department.
If you listen carefully, you can still faintly hear his muttering in the corridor: "You can't cut all the leeks anyway, why don't you just cut one and grow another?"
The corrupt official He Shen once said that only the money he puts in his pocket belongs to him! This is a classic quote! You have to apply what you learn..."
…
17th, morning.
Just when many media were reporting that the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Ant-Man" had a box office of 85.88 million on its first day, Huayi released several announcements that once again hit the screens of major domestic entertainment information websites and social platforms.
"After unanimous vote by the board of directors, Huayi will now acquire 70% of the shares of Dongyang Meila Film Company founded by Feng Xiaogang for RMB 1.05 billion, and both parties have subsequently signed a voluntary gambling agreement.
The conditions of the agreement are: Dongyang Meila needs to make an after-tax net profit of no less than 100 million every year from 2016 to 2020, and increase it at an annual rate of 15%...
If it fails to be completed, Feng Xiaogang needs to make up the profits himself, hand it over to the company, and cover the liquidated damages incurred during the signing of the gambling agreement. "
"At the same time, as approved by the full board of directors, Huayi will also pay RMB 756 million in cash to acquire 70% of Dongyang Haohan Pictures founded by Yang Ying, Chen He, Feng Shaofeng, Zheng Kai, Li Chen, Du Chun and others. shares, and both parties subsequently voluntarily signed a gambling agreement.
The conditions of the agreement are: All contracted stars, actors, artists, singers, etc. under Dongyang Haohan Pictures must complete quantitative performance goals in the next five years, and increase by 15% annually.
If it fails to be completed, the individual must make up the profit and hand it over to the company to cover the liquidated damages incurred during the signing of the gambling agreement. "
"Sina Entertainment reported: It is reported that Dongyang Meila Company, founded by Feng Xiaogang, has been established for less than two months, and the company is the co-producer of Huayi's new movie "I am not Pan Jinlian."
"Tencent Entertainment reports: Dongyang Haohan Pictures has been established for less than a week. The company is suspected to be a shell company, and its office address has not been officially announced to the public."
"Huayi's move actually overdrafts the company's potential and puts shareholders in dire straits..."
With Huayi's two announcements and in-depth follow-up reports from many professional media, the entire entertainment industry was completely blown away!
You know, the "gambling agreement" between Jiaxing Media and Shangshi Pictures, which was jointly founded by Yang Mi and Zeng Jia, is still high on the hot search list.
Unexpectedly, Huayi actually turned around and also made a bet, and it was still "acquisition + bet", which was exactly the same as the bet signed with Zhang Guoli before!
Dongyang Haohan, Dongyang Meila... the two companies combined directly received 1.806 billion yuan in cash!
This news quickly topped the headlines of major entertainment information websites, sparking heated discussions among countless people.
Doubts from netizens and stockholders flooded the Internet, all of which were puzzled by Huayi's move.
The two companies were established not long ago, how could they have such a high valuation? Is this not a joke?
At the same time, many people in the circle were also confused by Huayi's move.
Everyone started a company and worked hard to promote the company's listing, naturally for the goal of "money".
But money can't be earned this way, one thing that might go wrong could cause a big problem!
It is taboo for listed companies to blatantly turn stockholders' money into their own!
At this time, at Feiyue Film and Television, Su Guohai was looking at Chen Fei with a confused look on his face, and asked curiously: "A premium of nearly 100 times for the acquisition? Aren't they afraid of the market supervision bureau coming to investigate?"
"Why should they be afraid?" Chen Fei looked at him leisurely: "There is nothing illegal or non-compliant in their operations. The market value of the acquired company is also determined by themselves, which is within the prescribed range."
Hearing this, Su Guohai couldn't help but frowned.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
These actions of Huayi seemed legal and compliant, but they also revealed a sense of "conspiracy", which was obviously for their own selfish interests.
"No need to guess." Chen Fei smiled and explained: "If you look at it from the perspective of shareholders, you will find that this matter is of no benefit to shareholders.
Huayi must be the one who gets the most benefits, while Dongyang Mira and Dongyang Haohan will not lose money.
After all, prices are rising all the time. If you can get this money in advance, the benefits that can be generated will definitely not be small!"
Hearing this, Su Guohai smacked his lips and showed a bit of fear on his face: "This...isn't this just digging up the roots of your own company?"
"No, no, no!" Chen Fei added: "Strictly speaking, the current Huayi no longer belongs exclusively to the two brothers of the Wang family. From the day of the successful listing, this company belongs to the shareholders.
And what they are doing now is just making money from shareholders, not from the perspective of a film and television production company. "
"But if they continue like this, won't something go wrong?"
"Hehe."
Chen Fei smiled and analyzed meaningfully: "Maybe in a few years, you will see the news that Huayi's market value has fallen from tens of billions to tens of billions, and then it will be targeted, investigated, and closed down."
"Will there be such a day?"
"Don't worry, everything they are doing now is playing with fire, and sooner or later they will burn themselves!"
Chen Fei's tone was very firm, as if he had seen the end of Huayi.
At this time, the assistant suddenly opened the office door and walked in, holding two file bags in his hands: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Su, these are two documents sent from the Film Bureau."
"Oh? So fast?"
Chen Fei muttered in surprise, took the two file bags, and opened them directly.
Looking around, one of them was the filming permit for In the Name of People, and the other was the filming permit for Operation Red Sea.
"Sure enough, it still needs official endorsement. No one dares to block it. It can pass without changing a word..."
While sighing, Chen Fei picked up the file bag containing the filming permit for In the Name of People, handed it to his assistant, and instructed: "Thank you for your trouble. Take this document to Director Kang Honglei. He knows what to do."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
The assistant took the file bag and left the office quickly.
Then, Chen Fei handed the script of Operation Red Sea to Su Guohai: "The preliminary preparations for this project can also begin. The Navy will assist throughout the process."
Su Guohai took the document and read it through, nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
With the experience of preparing Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy and Operation Mekong, he is now familiar with the preliminary preparations for main theme movies.
What's more, there is assistance from official departments, so it will definitely be a green light situation.
"Except for the Navy, are the investors still the same ones as last time? I will send the invitation letter directly?"
"No, not anymore." Chen Fei shook his head slightly and said softly: "This time, I am going to change the previous share distribution. The existence of some investors is completely unnecessary. Giving so many investment shares is a pure waste of resources."
"Huh?"
Su Guohai was stunned and instantly guessed which party Chen Fei was talking about.
Thinking back to the behavior of that person during this period, he couldn't help but feel a little indignant!
"Indeed, the times have changed, and we naturally can't act too easy to bully, otherwise the outside world will look down on us."
"Okay, you go and get busy first, I will send the invitation list to your mailbox later, and you can send the invitation letter according to that list."
"Okay."
Su Guohai finally responded and turned to leave Chen Fei's office.
At this time, the outside world had already started a new round of sensation!
Originally, everyone's focus was on the news that Huayi spent nearly 2 billion to acquire shares of two "shell companies", but with the two latest notices released by the Film Bureau, the attention of most people in the industry was immediately drawn to it.
"In the Name of the People, the anti-corruption script adapted from the novel of the same name by contemporary writer Zhou Mei, has been officially reviewed.
The play will be jointly produced by the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Propaganda Department of the JS Provincial Party Committee, the Golden Shield Film and Television Center, Hai Zheng, and SD Radio and Television.
The producer has been confirmed to be Feiyue Film and Television, the director is Kang Honglei, a national first-level director and vice chairman of the Directors Committee of the China Broadcasting Federation, and the producer will be Chen Fei. "
"The main theme of the war and action movie script "Operation Red Sea", which is controlled by the Haizheng Television Art Center and written by Chen Fei himself, has been approved and reviewed, and the filming license has been issued to Feiyue Film and Television Company."
These two seemingly ordinary announcements directly caused a huge sensation in the film and television industry!
The first thing many people paid attention to was not "Operation Red Sea", but the "In the Name of the People".
You know, after Li Lu created this script, he visited almost all the film and television production companies in the mainland in order to attract investment.
However, after everyone read the content of the script of "In the Name of the People", they all "respectfully" invited him out of the company and did not dare to keep him for a moment longer.
That's in the name of the people! Which film and television company dares to participate in investment?
If there is anything wrong with the filming or the procedures are not in place, it will affect the future development of the company!
But everyone never expected that this script would be picked up by Feiyue Film and Television, and so many official departments would be involved in investment.
This is very interesting!
On Huayi's side, Wang Zhonglei frowned, puzzled.
"Feiyue Film and Television is a private film and television company, and there are no state-owned enterprises involved in investment. How can it get so many official endorsements for him?"
Seeing that the hot search he finally obtained was suppressed again, Wang Zhongjun looked very unhappy.
However, compared to the grumpy Wang Zhonglei, he is more calm and rational.
"Operation Mekong, controlled by Golden Shield, Operation Red Sea, controlled by Maritime Affairs, as well as One Hundred Regiments, Army Building, and Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom..."
Wang Zhongjun murmured to himself, his face changing at the same time.
Finally, he finally came to the conclusion: "If my guess is correct, the main theme commercial movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television should have brought a lot of gains to those official departments, and even great political achievements.
By reciprocating the favor, it couldn't be easier for him to win official endorsement. "
Wang Zhonglei couldn't believe it: "Can a movie with a main theme still have such an effect?"
"Of course there are no ordinary main theme movies, but if you take a closer look, whether it's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" or "Operation Mekong," are they the kind of ordinary main theme movies?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhonglei was immediately speechless.
Whose theme movie has a box office of 2 billion or even 3 billion? How could this be an ordinary theme movie?
If he wants to have good grades and be influential, it would be strange if his superiors didn't like him!
"Then what should we do now? The hot search has been suppressed again."
"What can I do? It's cool. Do you have any other tricks?"
"..."
"..."
The two brothers looked at each other and fell silent.

"Don't worry, Director Wang. Your share will definitely be indispensable, but you have to be mentally prepared this time. There are many investors in this movie."
"Director Ren? Let's meet on the 20th. Yes, come directly to my company."
"Qigang, please get ready. We will meet at the company at 10 a.m. on the 20th. Remember to bring your official seal."
"Director Lin, just come over when the time comes. I will complete all the procedures in advance. Your 20% will be written into the contract."
"Honeymooning? That's right... the role I gave you is in this main theme movie."
After connecting dozens of calls, Chen Fei finally turned off his phone and felt much calmer.
Influenced by "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Operation Mekong", the entire entertainment industry is now very clear that this theme movie "Operation Red Sea", which is controlled by Hai Zheng, will definitely be the largest, most fragrant and popular film in the current film industry. The ultimate "cake".
Once you can join it, it means that you can smoothly take advantage of the direct box office of 3 billion.
Let me ask, in the face of such top-level resources, who in the industry can not be moved?
However, as more and more people in the circle pay attention to the movie "Operation Red Sea", Jiang Zhihao's face becomes increasingly ugly.
Missing "Operation Mekong" before has caused huge losses to Anle Cinemas. Now, if they continue to miss "Operation Red Sea", I'm afraid those shareholders will eat him alive!
After considering this situation, he made a "protest" in public at the joint research meeting held the next day between Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, theaters, and production companies:
"Judging from the data, "Operation Mekong" has achieved a 'box office monopoly' during the National Day period, and their unilateral action of blocking Anle Cinema has clearly constituted a violation of the law. I implore the General Administration to intervene immediately..."
What he said was righteous, but most people in the venue cast sarcastic looks at him.
Is it illegal to accuse Feiyue Film and Television in the Mainland? Isn’t this just making yourself uncomfortable?
Sure enough, the next second, Zhang Hong, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, waved his hand impatiently: "Don't bring this kind of thing to the meeting, and the box office monopoly? Tell me how the box office is monopolized? Have you read the definition of the antitrust law? You are just talking nonsense here..."
Under the stage, Jiang Zhiqiang was speechless.
He subconsciously wanted to find allies, but looking at the entire venue, everyone's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm, and no one was willing to speak for him.
Even Bona, Huayi, and Chengtian, which are companies that are in strong competition with Feiyue Films, just pretended not to see his "help".
"Operation Mekong" is a mainstream movie, and the box office performance is so good, it must be listed here by the General Administration.
Want to target this movie?
Is this because you dislike your life being too comfortable and want to put some pressure on yourself?
