Chapter 1023 I Don’t Want to See Him (44)

Last year, Great Wall Film and Television successfully went public through a backdoor merger with Jiangsu Hongbao, becoming the first A-share backdoor film and television company and the first backdoor film and television company to be listed on the main board.

Great Wall Film and Television is a well-known film and television media organization in China. It has filmed TV series such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The Ming Dynasty", "The Emperor of Heaven", "The Suppression of Bandits in the Southwest"...

The listing was successful, with an estimated market value of 3.2 billion!

Moreover, as a film and television company that succeeded in backdooring at the first price, Great Wall Film and Television's stock price hit the daily limit for 12 consecutive times after its listing, and its market value soared four times - approaching 15 billion~

Capital groups are chasing dreams in the film and television industry, and star stocks have become a craze.

Some time ago, it was reported that Hairun Film and Television planned to backdoor Shenke for 2.5 billion, Jiaxing Media was preparing to backdoor Xi'an Datong, etc...

Of course, Ma Yun looks down on this little money...

It's boring to make small fuss, he wants to have a big entertainment!

In fact, at the end of last year, it acquired Xiami Music and Tiantian Dongting to enter the online music market.

Later, the "Alibaba Entertainment Section" was specially announced and even announced in a high-profile manner: "There is no upper limit on investment in Alibaba Entertainment."

It means he wants to entertain!

This year, the acquired Xiami and Tiantian Dongting formed the Alibaba Digital Entertainment Division; the US$4.5 billion acquisition of Youku Tudou;

UC was acquired for US$5 billion, UC Jiuyou was integrated into Alibaba Games, Shuqi Novel and UC Bookstore were integrated into Alibaba Literature;

Acquired Cultural China for HK$6.2 billion to establish Alibaba Pictures;

Acquired Damai.com to establish a live entertainment business group...

Be generous and have no upper limit!

For comparison, Shen Xudong only spent 800 million yuan to acquire Maoyan last year. It was really a small deal!

Zhang Qiang continued: "Ali concluded that the Chinese film market will be a big market worth 300 billion yuan..."

"It's not that big..."

"30% of a movie's healthy revenue comes from box office, and 70% comes from copyright sales, derivatives, etc., and the Chinese film industry has made great progress in the latter in recent years. It is expected that the revenue of the two will be the same in the future..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's not that easy to get. What the audience likes is feature films..."

"IP+ stars, let netizens participate from the beginning of casting..."

Shen Xudong glanced at Han Shanping, and then reminded: "High-quality content cannot be mass-produced. Studioism was popular in Hollywood in the 1930s, and movies were made in factories. Collective creation, streamlined division of labor. Dissolving individual talents and creativity, Then RKO played itself out. Movies are always chosen by the audience. In the end, the audience is still willing to see the movie they want to see, not the movie the studio wants the audience to watch. IP is not a panacea, just like superhero movies. Not every movie makes money..."

"...Haha...Dong Shen's insights are so enlightening."

"No, I'm just talking nonsense..."

"Actually, Ma Yun is quite interested in you. Do you want me to make an appointment for you two to meet?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to see him..."

"Why?"

"They are not part of the same system, so we can't talk about it..."

"He is very interested in movies..."

Shen Xudong smiled: "There are so many people who like movies. I have to meet them, so forget it..."

…

Shen Xudong actually admires Ma Yun.

Ma Yun was a person who had the courage to face injustice on the road before he became famous. He was in the news. Moreover, when he was still in the entrepreneurial stage, there were a lot of videos recording his words and deeds. It is impossible for him to know that he wanted to be a Chinese businessman twenty years ago. The richest man.

And the Taobao and Alipay he founded have indeed promoted China's progress. It is not an exaggeration, allowing every ordinary person to enjoy the convenience of the information age.

It is not easy for a person to make some achievements and benefit society in this life!

In fact, as long as the big guys in the Internet era develop to a certain level, they will hit this invisible ceiling - monopoly!

In the early years, he said: I am just a person responsible for helping society manage wealth. He is humble and reserved, knowing his responsibilities and the reason why the country supports Ahri.

Later, after he mastered a large amount of capital, he really drifted away. He was not as good as another Mr. Ma. He no longer felt that he was a person supported by the state to help society manage wealth, but felt that he could use wealth to reshape social values. And it’s still brainwashing from the perspective of capitalists.

A classic dragon slayer-turned-dragon story!

He also started a lakeside university...

Sometimes I really doubt his brain. For such a stupid thing, is it possible that Ali Intelligent Group has not read history?

How to evaluate him objectively?

Well, I'm not tall, I'm a bit skinny, my English is good, I have certain eloquence and organizational skills, I work outside the system, I have no establishment, I'm a flexible employee, I do some business to make a living...

That’s it!

As for why Shen Xudong doesn't want to see him, the most important thing is that they don't get along...

Ahri is very strong, and they focus on top-level design, execution, and power to create miracles rather than the objective laws of the industry.

These things are naturally incompatible with the content!

Content needs room for free play!

Sometimes I really don’t understand. Even a once-in-a-century business genius like Steve Jobs knows that he cannot interfere with the creation of Pixar Animation Studio.

Art creation has its own rules.

Why do Ahli and the others?

…

It was late at night when the banquet ended.

Shen Xudong was the last one to leave, he was the host!

After thanking the person in charge of the hotel, I left the banquet hall. At the end of the long corridor, there was a balcony, which looked quite cool.

I simply walked over, lit a cigarette, and reviewed it in my mind...

"Why do you smoke?"

"...Huh? Yifei? Auntie didn't come with you?"

It was Liu Yifei. Shen Xudong quickly put out his cigarette and replied casually...

"I'm already 27, and I'm not a child..."

Shen Xudong raised his wrist and looked at the time: "It's almost 3 o'clock now, why don't you take a rest?"

"I just haven't seen you for a long time and wanted to say hello..."

"Ha ha…"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you back to the hotel..."

"No, my car will be here soon... I'm going to film a movie later..."

"Oh? What show?"

"It's called "Dew Beauty", a collaboration with Rain..."

"The King of Hallyu?"

"...Well, Zhang Xiaoxian's original work..."

Shen Xudong commented: "I have read a few of Zhang Xiaoxian's works. To be honest, they are a bit outdated. She takes love too seriously. The general consensus of modern people is that although love is important, it is only one of the pursuits in life. .There are many beautiful things in life, and beautiful love should not hinder your pursuit of other things in life, such as the realization of the value of life..."

“But the role I play is very challenging!”

"…more challenging than "Legend of White Ghost"?"

"That movie is..."

"Money laundering, I understand!"

So-called Chinese-foreign co-productions are generally used to launder money...

Otherwise, "Legend of the White Ghost" claims to have invested 200 million, but the result is a war scene with only a handful of participants, no special effects, and no big scenes. A war in the era of cold weapons makes me uninterested. Even the young and Dangerous guy holding a knife to kill people in Causeway Bay is more passionate than here.

Where is the 200 million spent?

Before Liu Yifei could say anything, Shen Xudong advised: "You will do less co-productions in the future. How many co-productions have been successful?"
