Chapter 875: Who Is Better at Boasting, Boss Jia or Boss Ma?

On the evening of the 28th, after finishing a day of filming, Chen Fei turned on his laptop as soon as he returned to the hotel and began to remotely follow the 88th Academy Awards held tonight.

However, just as he was happily watching the Hollywood actresses who were "making a fool of themselves" on the red carpet just to attract attention, the phone rang suddenly.

After taking a look at the name marked on the caller ID, Chen Fei casually pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Mr. Wang? What's going on..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Changtian interrupted: "Have you heard the news? Something happened! Something big happened! The film and television industry is going to be turned upside down!"

"Ah?" Chen Fei looked confused: "What happened? Why is it going to be turned upside down?"

Since returning to the hotel after finishing today's filming, he has been following the news on Weibo, and he didn't see any "shocking hot searches" being exposed?

"You don't know?"

"Boss Wang, please stop keeping us in suspense. Did the sky fall? Or did the ground collapse?"

"Huh!" Wang Changtian let out a long sigh on the other end of the phone and said in a deep voice: "According to people familiar with the matter, after Ye Ning left, more than 20 senior executives from Wanda's cinema chain resigned and left.

And there were paparazzi who took photos of Wang Jianlin returning to China on a private plane at the Capital Airport, which directly verified the authenticity of the major changes in Wanda Cinema..."

Fade Chen was shocked and didn't even bother to look at Oscar. He was very surprised and said: "So, the real situation Did Ye Ning leave Wanda with more than 20 confidants? "

"That's right!" Wang Changtian was a little scared: "With such a lineup, if they choose to start a business, they might really make a big name, and they will be a favorable competitor!"

"Haha, start a business?"

Chen Fei smiled and shook his head: "Starting a business is impossible. These people are all senior cinema chain managers. It's impossible for them to buy land, build cinemas, and open cinema chains by themselves, right?"

"Not starting a business? Could it be that they were poached by other cinema chain companies..."

While analyzing, Wang Changtian's tone suddenly paused!

The next second, he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Brother Chen? This... This is not a trick you played, right?"

"Me? How is it possible? Am I idle? Why do I poach Ye Ning?"

Chen Fei looked at a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How did he bring the topic to himself?

However, at this moment, Wang Changtian analyzed in a very clear manner: "As we all know, in addition to Wanda Cinema Line, the company with the largest market share in China is your Pan Asia Cinema Line.

And Pan Asia Cinema Line's general manager Huo Qigang is currently also the chairman of Golden Harvest Films. He has multiple positions and will definitely be unable to take care of everything, so you set your sights on Wanda..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei was inexplicably surprised!

Damn it, this analysis is quite accurate!

Indeed, there are only a few companies in the current circle that are most likely to accept Ye Ning's big team, and Pan Asia Cinema Line is undoubtedly the most likely one.

Huo Qigang couldn't be distracted, so he promised Ye Ning a huge profit to switch jobs and let him be solely responsible for the entire Pan Asia Cinema Line system...

It would be fine if he didn't analyze it, but once he analyzed it, it seemed like it had become an established fact!

However, Chen Fei said that he was too wronged!

"Mr. Wang, I admit that your analysis is indeed quite reasonable, but I want to say that I really didn't do it, and there is no need for me to do it.

I have nothing to do to offend Wanda, which is now in its heyday. Am I crazy?

Although I am not afraid of Wanda, I don't need to do it. It's meaningless. Our cinema chain is currently running quite stably, and it has stopped expanding and started internal upgrades to digest the previous gains. There is no need to add burden to myself..."

Chen Fei explained a lot, which made Wang Changtian stop his guess in his mind half-believing and half-doubting.

However, as soon as the phone was hung up, Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping and others couldn't wait to call in.

Without exception, both of them were wondering if there was Chen Fei's "little trick" in this.

"Mr. Ren, please stop your guessing. It's not something that Pan Asia Cinema Line did. I'm not interested in doing this kind of behavior to undermine other companies. After all, Wanda didn't offend me..."

"Mr. Han, if you have time to come to me to ask, you might as well ask Yu Dong. Maybe it's his Poly Bona that did this."

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Han Sanping on the other end directly denied: "Yu Dong can't do such a 'beautiful' thing. Although Bona is rushing to A shares and has the support of Alibaba, the prospects are not clear.

Professional managers like Ye Ning usually take action only after they are optimistic about the future of a company. .

For example, your Pan Asia Cinema Line has a bright future, huge development potential, and the greatest suspicion! "

"..."

After being speechless for a long time, Chen Fei said innocently: "But this is really not done by me."

Han Sanping frowned and continued to guess: "Could it be one of the two companies, Alibaba and Huayi?"

"It's possible! The former has always been at odds with Wanda, and the latter is doing something like "de-monotonization of movies", which is particularly suspicious!"

"Alas, I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. At this critical juncture, using such dirty means to offend Wanda, isn't this a dead end? "

"Hehe, maybe the company that did it is very confident? "

"Confidence?" Han Sanping was very disdainful: "No matter how confident you are, no matter how reliable you are, but the methods are so dirty, in the end it will inevitably hurt both sides, and even lead to a point of no return..."

After saying this, Chen Fei stopped picking him up. Anyway, he was also a melon-eater and would not get involved in this matter.

Regardless of the wind from east to west, it can't blow on me anyway.

After answering a lot of phone calls, when Chen Fei turned his attention to his laptop again, he saw that the Oscar ceremony was already halfway through.

"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 88th Academy Awards is Adam McKay for "The Big Short." Congratulations..."

As the presenter finished speaking, the Dolby Theater suddenly burst into deafening applause and cheers!

Chen Fei also raised his hand and patted it gently.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in 2008, he took advantage of the financial crisis in North America to make money and founded the top consortium "Longxiang Capital".

And this "The Big Short" is very similar to his past deeds. It tells the story of several Wall Street investment geniuses who saw through the illusion of bubbles before the 2007 US credit crisis and benefited significantly by shorting subprime mortgage CDS, becoming a minority. The story of an investment tycoon who profited massively from a financial disaster.

However, in comparison, what he did was more "ruthless", far beyond what those so-called investment wizards could match.

When he was filming "Ready Player One", he went to a Bitcoin mining base under the guise of visiting the scene.

After years of hard work, and with the help of Bruce’s nephew Eric Kerger, the mining machine has now mined more than 5 million Bitcoins!

In order not to affect the "market conditions", the mining machines have now been stopped, and Eric Kerger has also gone to Kerguelen Island to research new projects.

More than 5 million Bitcoins and six hard drives are now stored in a safe under the courtyard.

Chen Fei is not planning to touch this thing in the short term. He wants to wait until the value of these Bitcoins has almost reached its highest point before starting to sell it to the outside world.

By then, tens of billions of dollars will have been collected, which can be invested in research institutes to research various new technologies.

Aerospace, aviation, satellites, chips, artificial intelligence AI, all-solid-state batteries, drones...

Longxiang Capital has invested in too many projects. Looking at it, these all require heavy spending to achieve results.

"Dingle bell!"

At this time, the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thinking and planning for the future.

After taking a look at the name marked on the caller ID, he raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling quite surprised.

He casually pressed the connect button, and before the person on the other end could speak, he took the lead and said, "Lion? What's the matter with calling me so late?"

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Fei found that it seemed that he had not spoken to Leon Walras on the phone for more than a year. The two parties had been communicating by email on weekdays.

The latter is still the head of Longxiang Capital's North American region and is responsible for all Longxiang Capital and Chen Fei's external investments.

This is a lot of money!

Chen Fei is even a little nervous now. Could it be that something happened to his assets?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Leon Walras on the other side of the phone say: "Fei, I think I need to remind you that the next presidential election in the United States is about to begin."

"Oh?" Chen Fei frowned: "Did someone contact you?"

"Yes." Lyon responded: "Last night when I attended the investment dinner hosted by Musk, I met the 'businessman' who was very vocal. He hoped that Longxiang Capital could support him in the general election."

Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and many pictures appeared in his mind.

If he remembers correctly, this "businessman" finally succeeded and sat in that position for a full 4 years!

But as far as he knows, this person's attitude towards China is actually not very good, especially those Chinese capitals living in the United States have been targeted by him.

Therefore, after he takes office, Longxiang Capital may also be affected...

Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately ordered: "You can try to contact him and tell him that Longxiang Capital can support his election. Anyway, spending money is money for anyone.

But I need his guarantee. I want him to promise that he will not attack Longxiang Capital after he takes office. I want him to be the protective umbrella of Longxiang Capital, just like the Morgan Consortium. "

"Okay, Boss, I understand what you mean."

Leon Walras responded, already having a series of plans in mind.

But actually he was a little surprised, because he didn't expect Chen Fei to be really optimistic about any "businessman".

I just don’t know if this businessman does become president in the end, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for Hollywood, which his boss is currently using to "cover" his behind-the-scenes assets?

…

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the last day of February!

In the morning, on the way to the set, Chen Fei saw many new hot searches on Weibo.

"The drama, romance, and fantasy film "A Little Smile Is Allure", co-produced by Huace Pictures and Modu Juku Culture Communication Co., Ltd., starring Yang Ying and Jing Boran, officially wrapped today!"

Accompanying this report was Huang Xiaoming’s “screen-swiping” Weibo promotion.

In order for his wife's new movie to be a hit, he worked hard and even wanted to go to the final press conference to support her!

Immediately following the news of the completion of "A Smile Is Charming" came several announcements about the film's release date.

"The Sino-Indian co-production film "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty", controlled by China Film Group Corporation, starring Huang Xiaoming, and starring Xu Zheng, Luo Jin, Pu Bajia and others, has been officially announced to be released on April 29."

"The crime and action movie "Chasing the Dragon", co-produced by Golden Harvest Pictures and Feiyue Pictures and starring Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Zheng Zeshi, has been officially announced to be released on April 29."

"Many Hollywood imported blockbusters such as "Gods: Eyes of Power," "Eddie the Eagle," and "Batman v Superman" have officially announced their release dates in March."

Not surprisingly, the Internet has already started to quarrel.

Especially those producers who have movies to be released in March, most of them have already begun to curse.

Counting that "Zootopia", there are no less than 8 Hollywood imported blockbusters that have been officially announced to be released in March!

Looking around, facing the encirclement and suppression of so many imported Hollywood blockbusters, which domestic film can withstand it?

Even "Mermaid" is sweating when you come in! Not to mention those low-budget domestic films.

…

As soon as Chen Fei arrived at the set, Huang Xiaoming came up to him with a smile.

"Director Chen, we have to fight in the ring this time, please be merciful!"

At first, Chen Fei didn't react, but soon he understood that Huang Xiaoming was talking about "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" and "Chasing the Dragon" competing for the May Day slot at the same time.

"Don't worry, the movie market has expanded to 800 million in a single day, can't it even accommodate two domestic movies?

As long as the quality of the videos is ensured, everyone will definitely make money, and there won't be much competition. "

"That's true..."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in approval, and after chatting for a few more words, he turned around to do his makeup.

…

Chen Fei thought that he was already an "expert" in eating melons, but he never expected that Wang Changtian was even more exaggerated than him!

In the evening, Lao Wang called again and told him the inside information he had learned with great interest.

"I'm telling you, don't be too surprised!"

"What?"

"According to insiders in Wanda, following Ye Ning's departure, Wanda Cinema Line left 28 executives in just a few days, and all of these people were managers of top cinemas under Wanda Cinema Line. Level figures, and all of them are core elites who have been trained by Wanda for more than 5 years!”

"What the hell?!"

Although Rao was mentally prepared, Chen Fei was still frightened by the operation of the "mastermind".

This horse riding can no longer be described as poking out the roots, it is completely knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow!

You know, for a large theater chain company, these theater managers are all top talents.

It is no exaggeration to say that these people are all able to stand alone, but now 28 of them have resigned at once...

"Half of Wanda Cinema Line collapsed!"

"Isn't that right?" Wang Changtian said with a hint of fear in his tone: "If Guangguang is messed with like this, I'm afraid the stock price will fall directly and the company may even be unable to recover in a short period of time."

"That's for sure, that is, for a large enterprise like Wanda, who can ordinary companies be able to withstand it?"

While talking, Chen Fei suddenly remembered the time in the middle of last year when the two Wang brothers secretly went to headhunters to poach the middle-level backbone of Feiyue Film and Television Company.

Thanks to Su Guohai, Jiang Xuerong, and Zhong Lifang, they withstood the temptation and forcefully rejected the conditions offered by Huayi.

Otherwise, if even one of these people leaves, the company will be in turmoil for a while.

When he thought of this, Chen Fei felt a little angry!

These two brothers are simply pests in the entertainment industry. If we find an opportunity, we must take revenge on them severely.

However, just as he was thinking of bad ideas, he heard Wang Changtian mention another "big melon":

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. I heard that LeTV Pictures seems to have canceled its IPO and is not planning to go public."

"Hey? Are you kidding? If LeTV Pictures doesn't go public, what will happen to the star shareholders of their company? They invested so much money to buy the original shares, and it's all in vain. Can they agree?"

"Only a ghost knows. I also heard what others said. It seems that Jia Yueting came forward in person and didn't know what he promised to those shareholders, so he calmed everyone down."

"Boss Jia? Haha, his mouth is on par with that of Mr. Ma..."

"Hahaha, one is better than the other, right?"

The two of them were chatting and gossiping, but at this time, Huayi's side was a "lively" scene.

In the office, Wang Zhongjun, Ye Ning, and more than a dozen senior executives who had resigned from Wanda Cinemas were chatting animatedly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

From now on, we are all grasshoppers in the same boat, and we are naturally intimate.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Zhonglei strode in with a smile on his face.

The office suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

Facing everyone's looks of expectation, speculation, or curiosity, he put his hands in his pockets and slowly said: "Everything has been arranged. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the relevant personnel change notice will be officially released.

The media meeting has also been arranged. It will be held in Huayi's auditorium at 3 p.m. Please remember to come on time to attend. "

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter suddenly erupted in the office.

Wang Zhongjun faced everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, starting from tomorrow we will fight side by side. I hope everyone can work together to create a better future!"

In an instant, a series of echoes followed:

"For the sake of Huayi, I should do my best."

"Haha, compared to Wanda, Huayi is more suitable for our development."

"That's right, in my opinion, Huayi's development prospects in film and television are far from comparable to that of Wanda. Wang Jianlin is better at real estate, but the film and television industry is just like that, because he doesn't know how to run it at all..."
