Chapter 860 What Kind of Pyramid Scheme Is This?

Two days later, the hot searches on Weibo are still centered around several recent events.

"Feiyue Films and Alibaba Pictures have clearly reached a bet. This will be a fierce collision between the 'Internet production model' and the 'traditional production model'!"

"The film version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" successfully held a press conference in the capital this morning. Jing Tian, ​​Yang Yang, Yan Yiqun and other main creative members were present."

"The filming of "Zhu Xian" and "Princess Agents" is progressing smoothly. The crew is currently closed and does not accept visits and interviews from outside media reporters."

"The box office of "Old Cannon" barely recovered, with an additional box office of 36.99 million yesterday."

"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was released for three days, and the box office totaled 589 million yuan, which has achieved a leading position."

"The comedy film "One Thought in Heaven", which is controlled by Happy Twist and starred by Shen Teng and Ma Li, has been completely removed from the theaters due to the exhaustion of its box office potential. The total box office closed at 63.69 million."

"..."

The online hot searches are very mixed and chaotic, and there are countless people who call Chen Fei for verification.

Unfortunately, because his phone was turned off, ordinary people could not contact him at all.

There were many media and reporters who wanted to interview him, but how could anyone come to a place like a warship?

Therefore, even though the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar because of the announcement of Alibaba Pictures and the bet between it and Feiyue Pictures, it did not affect the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

What's more, the crew has already driven the warship into the sea, and the sound of various frigates, helicopters, and guns is "booming". Who dares to approach?

For Chen Fei and other actors, this may be just a normal shooting scene, but for the navy on the entire warship, this is a real gun and live ammunition exercise!

If any foreign ship dares to approach without a legitimate reason, they will be greeted by ship-borne machine guns!

At the same time, Alibaba Pictures.

After attending the launch conference of the film version of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and dealing with the media and reporters who deliberately wanted to stir up trouble, Zhang Wei immediately returned to his office and gathered several of his capable people.

"There has been a lot of controversy about us online these days. Many people question us, laugh at us, and even insult us!

But in my opinion, all of this is just passing clouds and there is no need to mention it.

Because we are Alibaba, this name is a symbol of our strength, and it is also equivalent to "success", which is based on evidence and reliance!

Just the vote for the protagonist of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" has brought us overwhelming traffic and hot searches, and even once allowed our stock price to rise to the limit, which means that the path we are taking now is correct and unquestionable!

Therefore, even if we are competing with Feiyue Film and Television, we don't need to worry, because we are destined to succeed!

As long as we follow the footsteps of President Ma, we will surely open up a new era and future. Traditional industries must be subverted and changed by us Alibaba!"

Facing a group of executives, Zhang Qi's voice was ups and downs, It was very contagious and appealing, triggering cheers and responses from the audience:

"Mr. Zhang is right. As long as we work together, the future of traditional industries will be completely subverted by the new Internet production model!"

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" will be successful. What are Chen Fei and Feiyue Film and Television? They are just a group of relics from the old times."

"From now on, everyone needs to work harder. If we win this bet, Alibaba Pictures will become the leader in the film and television industry in the future!"

"What we have always done is to step on the shoulders of others to get to the top, and we are destined to succeed!"

"Haha, looking around, Alibaba will succeed in any industry it enters, even the film and television industry is no exception."

The atmosphere in the office was extremely warm, and the faint voice fell into the ears of many employees outside, which also triggered cheers and excitement.

In the eyes of everyone, Alibaba Pictures is destined to succeed, because they have never tasted the taste of failure from beginning to end, and it is impossible to fail!

Until all the executives left Zhang Qi's office, the employees at the workstations outside stood up collectively and gave cheers and applause.

Fortunately, this is a listed company, otherwise those who don't know would think they have entered some pyramid scheme den!

At the same time, at the filming site of the movie version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Jing Tian was sitting in the lounge, chatting with Lu Zheng about the bet between Alibaba Pictures and Feiyue Pictures.

"Uncle Lu, will this matter affect me?"

Jing Tian frowned slightly, regretting that she played the leading female role in this movie.

If she had known it would be like this, she would never agree to Lu Zheng's communication with Alibaba to help her win the role of the leading female role.

"Alas!" Lu Zheng sighed, and was a little annoyed.

It was not his intention to confront Feiyue Pictures, but now the situation has arisen, and it must be resolved.

He originally thought that he was not prepared to stand on one side, but the problem now is that Jing Tian has already joined the group, which means that she is naturally on Alibaba's side.

As the leading actress, the higher the box office of the movie, the better it is for her, and vice versa.

This means that after the movie is released, she must stand on the opposite side of Feiyue Film and Television, because the two sides are destined to be competitors.

At this time, Jing Tian suddenly spoke up and asked tentatively: "Is it too late for me to withdraw now?"

"It's too late." Lu Zheng shook his head: "The contract has been signed. Withdrawing now means paying a huge penalty and offending Alibaba Pictures. We can't do this."

"What should I do now? Should I continue to shoot with the crew?"

"That's the only way for now." Lu Zheng said, and pondered for a moment, and then continued: "You can rest assured to shoot in the crew first, I will communicate with Mr. Chen to see what he means."

In fact, according to Lu Zheng's understanding of Chen Fei, the latter is not a narrow-minded person.

If nothing unexpected happens, Feiyue Film and Television should carry out this bet in an upright manner, rather than doing that kind of despicable operation.

What's more, Jing Tian has a good relationship with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and there is no conflict between the two sides.

Based on this, Chen Fei should not have too many ideas.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that Alibaba Pictures will not do other tricks.

…

On the sixth floor of Feiyue Film and Television, in the reception room.

At this time, Zhang Chen, the helmsman of Kaixin Mahua, was waiting for Su Guohai's arrival with his secretary.

Holding a cup of coffee in his hand, Zhang Chen looked around and sighed: "It would be great if Kaixin Mahua could have its own office building!"

The secretary replied: "Mr. Zhang, I believe that with your leadership and our efforts, one day, we will have it."

Zhang Chen's eyes showed some envy: "Alas, I hope there will be that day!"

At present, Kaixin Mahua has not yet survived the crisis, and the company is in constant turmoil. How can we talk about those illusory futures?

At this moment, the door of the reception room was opened, and Su Guohai also led the secretary and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, I just arrived a while ago."

Zhang Chen smiled and was very humble.

Although he was the helmsman of Happy Twist, and Su Guohai was just one of the senior executives of Feiyue Film and Television, the status of both parties in the industry was not at the same level.

What's more, he was still asking for help, which made him naturally inferior to Su Guohai.

The two did not go to the meeting room, but sat down directly in the reception room.

After a brief greeting, under the deliberate guidance of Su Guohai, the two sides quickly got to the point.

"After receiving your company's request for help, I went to understand the current difficulties and problems faced by Happy Twist, and this is actually not a troublesome matter for Feiyue Film and Television."

Zhang Chen's eyes showed some expectation when he heard this.

From Su Guohai's tone, he could hear that Feiyue Film and Television could help with this.

However, the next second, he heard a sentence that was very unexpected to him.

"Have you ever considered strategic cooperation with other companies?"

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned after hearing this, but he quickly reacted: "Of course, we have been exploring new development paths, but we need to be cautious in choosing partners."

Su Guohai nodded and continued: "So, if Feiyue Film and Television is interested in establishing a strategic partnership with you, what do you think?"

Zhang Chen's eyes flashed a glimmer, but he still responded cautiously: "This is indeed a very attractive proposal. After all, your company's influence and resource advantages in the industry are very valuable to us.

In fact, we have received many people who are dissatisfied with President Su. 's investment intention.

But without exception, other investors have explicitly requested to intervene in the management and operation of the company, so in the end it can only be left unresolved. "

Su Guohai smiled slightly, expressing his understanding:

"Then if Feiyue Film and Television will not interfere with your core business and decision-making, and will also provide full support in resources, technology and market, can Mr. Zhang accept it?

I think you should also understand the capabilities and influence of Feiyue Film and Television. From production to post-production to theaters, our company has achieved full coverage, and can even provide overseas channels. I think Mr. Zhang should also know this..."

In the reception room, listening to Su Guohai's words, Zhang Chen has already fallen into deep thought.

And the secretary standing beside him has burst into strong expectations and longings in his eyes at this time!

She even has a bright vision and future in her mind, because once Happy Twist can get investment from Feiyue Film and Television, its status in the circle will inevitably soar!

This is a recognized fact in the circle!

She now wants to agree to it for Zhang Chen immediately, after all, if you miss this good thing, you can't find the next one.

However, Zhang Chen still maintained a cautious attitude: "Mr. Su? Are you sure Feiyue Film and Television can not interfere with the management and operation of Happy Twist?"

"Of course, this can be written in the contract." Su Guohai suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said: "What's more, we don't have the energy to interfere. After all, Happy Twist doesn't seem to have anything particularly important for us to seize, right?"

"That's true." Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly and asked in a different way: "So, if I accept the investment, how many shares does Feiyue Film and Television want to occupy?"

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me about the current equity division of Happy Twist?"

"Most of it is in my hands, and some of it is in the hands of several other founders of the company. It has not been leaked."

"That's good." Su Guohai smiled: "In this case, I can make the decision to help Happy Mahua survive the current crisis, continue to inject funds that satisfy you, and provide corresponding resources and contacts.

Our requirement is 40%, what do you think? "

"What! 40%?"

Zhang Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Once he agrees to this condition, even if it is stated in the contract that Feiyue Film and Television will not interfere with the management and operation of Happy Mahua, it will still have an impact on his status.

After all, that’s 40%!

Once he joins forces with other shareholders, they can oust him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen quickly shook his head and refused: "Mr. Su, you are talking too much. I cannot accept it. 20% is the greatest sincerity I can give."

Hearing this, Su Guohai smiled, stood up and said: "In this case, it seems that the negotiation cannot be completed today. Mr. Zhang might as well go back and think carefully about whether Feiyue Film and Television's investment is worth 40%."

How is it possible that cooperation can be concluded at once? This is impossible.

Zhang Chen didn't say much, said goodbye to Su Guohai with a heavy heart, and returned to Happy Twist.

In his heart, he really wanted to accept investment from Feiyue Film and Television, but the 40% figure was too much, and it was absolutely impossible!

…

It’s afternoon, and it’s the filming scene of the movie “Operation Red Sea”.

A majestic warship stands above the rippling blue sea.

The sun shines through the clouds and dapples the hull of the ship, adding a bit of majesty and mystery to this steel behemoth.

Cameras, lights, recording equipment, etc. are all ready, and the staff are busy going around every corner to ensure that every detail is perfect.

The camera slowly advanced, and Zhang Hanyu, who played the role of Captain Gao Yun, was seen standing on the bridge, looking at the vast sea with bright eyes.

He was dressed in a neat navy uniform with sparkling epaulettes, showing the pride and glory of the Chinese Navy.

Beside him, Zhang Yi, who plays Yang Rui, the captain of the Marine Corps Dragon Team, stood upright, his eyes firm and deep, as if he could penetrate all the fog.

"Are you ready?" Gao Yun asked in a deep voice, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Everything is ready, Captain!" Yang Rui responded quickly, his voice full of confidence and power.

Behind the monitor, Chen Fei stared at the two of them without blinking, making sure that every shot was perfect.

In the camera, the conversation between Gao Yun and Yang Rui slowly unfolds. Every line and every action they make has been carefully designed and polished, striving to present the most authentic naval style and the most profound emotional exchange.

"In this mission, we not only have to face the cunning and ferocity of terrorists, but also face the complex and ever-changing international situation. Are you ready, Yang Rui?"

Gao Yun's eyes turned to Yang Rui, as if testing his determination and courage.

Yang Rui met Gao Yun's gaze without flinching: "Captain, the Jiaolong Commando has made all preparations! No matter what enemies and difficulties we face, we will move forward bravely and complete the mission!"

Gao Yun nodded slightly, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes: "Very good! Remember, we are the sword of the country and the shield of the people. No matter when and where we are, we must keep our mission in mind and live up to the trust!"

Yang Rui nodded heavily: "Yes! Captain!"

As the conversation deepens, the emotions between the two gradually heat up.

At this moment, they are not only discussing tasks, but also exchanging each other's beliefs and pursuits.

In front of the camera, they are not actors, but real naval warriors. Every breath they take and every eye contact they make is full of sincerity and power.

At the same time, during the filming process, Chen Fei held a walkie-talkie and constantly ordered relevant personnel to adjust the lens and light, striving to capture the most perfect picture.

All the logistics staff of the crew also maintained a high degree of tension and concentration at all times to ensure that every detail was in line with the actual situation of the Navy.

The shooting continued until the evening. After checking all the materials collected today and confirming that there were no problems, Chen Fei immediately called for a pause.

"Everyone, start taking off your makeup, eating, and then go to rest immediately. Tomorrow morning we will shoot the scene of the exchange of fire with terrorists. This is a 'tough battle'. We must ensure that everyone is in the best condition..."

There were echoes of agreement from the scene, and everyone had suddenly entered a state of militarized management, truly enforcing orders and prohibitions.

At the same time, after saving all the captured materials, Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and turned it on.

As expected, the moment the screen turned on, a bunch of missed calls and text messages popped up.

He knew the purpose of most people calling him without even guessing.

Therefore, he did not choose to reply one by one, but selected a few of them and responded briefly.

The first choice is naturally Su Guohai. After all, the company's affairs are far higher than all other matters.

After answering the phone, Su Guohai briefly described the details of today's negotiation with Zhang Chen.

After hearing this, Chen Fei smiled: "40%? You are really a lion talking big!"

"Haha, negotiation, isn't it just you and me going back and forth? Anyway, the other side didn't explicitly reject our investment, so there should be hope."

"That's true. According to the current situation of Happy Twist, they have no choice."

Su Guohai asked tentatively: "Then I will continue?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded slightly: "40% is definitely not possible, but you can negotiate with them on the premise of the bottom line of 25% and strive to get more shares."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, don't worry, they can't run away, I will definitely strive not to be lower than 30%."

"Haha, okay, if you can really get 30%, your bonus this year will double!"

In an instant, Su Guohai's breathing became heavy.

You know, his year-end bonus is as high as 8 figures!

If this doubles, wouldn't it be close to nine figures?

Thinking of this, Su Guohai suddenly remembered the conditions that Huayi offered him when they wanted to poach him.

Now think about it, it's a good thing he didn't agree, otherwise where would he get this bonus close to nine figures?

(ps: First update, asking for monthly tickets!!!)
