Chapter 966 I Really Can’t Bear It Anymore

It is indeed related to Shen Xudong!

Although he only mentioned it to Liao Gaoxiang, the latter took it to heart...

A lot of resources were given.

Coupled with Zhou Yanyan's subsequent efforts, Zhang Tianai once had a reputation as a resource person...

Of course, this is all for later!

Shen Xudong returned to the capital for two things. One was to attend the premiere of "A Romantic Affair", starring Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao. Xudong received an invitation from Huang Xiaoming...

The second is a personal matter - Li Ming, a galloping pony, asked him to borrow money, which is regarded as a company loan...

The second thing to deal with first is that Xiaoma borrowed money because he had no money to acquire Digital Domain, an American special effects technology company commonly known as Digital Domain...

Shen Xudong knows one thing about Digital Domain - a bankrupt special effects company!

However, the domestic media publicity said that it was "founded by the famous director Cameron; it has the industry's top CG technology research and development capabilities and has seven Oscar awards";

"Overseas acquisitions" and "entering the international market" are the most eye-catching keywords!

Of course, the most important thing is that Pony Galloping Films wants to go public, but internally it has been suffering from the lack of a stable core industry.

This is because the management of the film and television industry is particularly unstable, and Galloping Horse is not like Tianmei Media or Huayi Brothers. The former has a bunch of profitable directors and producers under its control, while the latter can keep Feng Xiaogang as the box office pillar.

Xiaoma doesn't have a particularly attractive director or producer. It signed Wu Yusen a few years ago, but Wu Yusen obviously can't keep up with the times...

Planned two works, "Flying Tiger" and "1949". "Flying Tiger" was immediately released, and "1949" was renamed "Tai Ping Wheel". It was intensively prepared and cost nearly 300 million...

It’s hard to say whether you can make money or not!

Galloping Horse wants to develop domestic film and television special effects production through overseas acquisitions and introduce a set of special effects technology from the United States, and at the same time enrich its own company's business.

To explain, low-end technology from the United States is introduced to serve China's cheap and low-cost movies. This business is developed to enrich the company's business and ultimately seek to go public.

In fact, this kind of consideration is not unreasonable.

So, asking $30 million to acquire Digital Domain...

It's a pity that Shen Xudong knows the details of Digital Kingdom...

This company was once estimated to have a market value of US$300 million, but it has not developed any valuable technology in special effects processing in the past few years. The company's executives misjudged its business direction and actually engaged in real estate development, and its operations were unfavorable. , in the past, in order to obtain cash, some relatively valuable core technologies were transferred out. The company also suffered a serious loss of key technical personnel, and the rest were some uncompetitive third-rate technologies...

This thing is not worth $30 million!

Spending $30 million to buy an American special effects company that is nothing but a shell?

Is your brain flooded?

Most importantly, Shen Xudong knew that Galloping Pony would soon be in decline - many people said that Li Ming's death led to Pony's collapse. In fact, this was not the case. It was mainly due to the collapse of its backer.

Galloping Pony started out as an advertising company called Remington Advertising, which made its fortune through CCTV...

At the end of 2013, CCTV launched an anti-corruption campaign...

Shen Xudong didn't want to get involved with Li Ming. If it weren't for Ning Hao's introduction, he wouldn't have met Li Ming at all...

However, Gao Fenfen thought it was a good opportunity. Xiao Ma had the copyrights to "The Sky of History", "Sweet Honey", "My Brother's Name is Shunliu", "I am a Special Forces Soldier" and "Military Ge Erdan"...

She wants the rights...

In addition, Xiao Ma has many contracted screenwriters, and she is very optimistic about Li Xiuwen, who wrote "Ten Sends to the Red Army". Li Xiuwen is Xiaoma's contracted screenwriter!

"Ten Sending the Red Army" is a modern revolutionary drama jointly produced by Tianmei Media, Galloping Pony, and the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, directed by Mao Weining, and starred by Tianmei's actors...

Deng Chao, Wang Lei, Chen Xiao, and Wang Kai all accepted dramas based on minimum pay...

In short, Gao Fenfen wants to lend money to Li Ming...

Shen Xudong asked the company's professionals to calculate the price and then agreed to the loan.

As for whether this matter will ruin some people's plans, then he has no control over it!

Oh, in the original time and space, the person who played the role of lending money was Che Feng. The latter had never been involved in the film and television industry before and did not understand the technical level of visual effects. But this person is "playing with money" and a frequent visitor to capital operations.

He also has an identity: the son-in-law of the former central bank governor!

After borrowing money, through some means, I directly took Digital Domain into my hands, and then went public through a backdoor...

He owns the Aoliang Group, whose original business scope was scrap metal recycling and some real estate properties in Hong Kong, which were barely related to the concept of "environmental protection."

Directly renamed "Digital Domain" and listed in Hong Kong.

Aoliang was originally a junk stock, with a share price of more than 6 cents in Hong Kong. After changing its name to Digital Domain, the stock price soared after introducing the concept of "visual special effects"...

This trick is somewhat similar to Li Zekai's Yingke in the past. Playing with concepts, playing with whatever is popular, Cyberport, telecommunications technology, visual effects, 3D, the inside of the shell is actually hollow...

Why doesn't he run it well? With his connections, wouldn't he be able to make money by doing special effects?

Crony Capital is used to making quick money, and they simply don’t know how to do it, and they don’t even bother to do real things!

Will Shen Xudong ruin his good deeds?

If it's broken, it's broken. What can I do?

Doesn’t Tianmei Group have a backer?

Nonsense, Tianmei set up an organization right after it was established...

…

Gao Qunshu was very angry.

Some time ago, he scolded "Tiny Times 2" on the Internet - it was released so quickly that it cost money and was shameless.

Mainly because "Tiny Times 2" conflicts with his movie "A Romance"...

Both are released on August 9th...

The summer season is already in full swing. "The Return of the South China Sea" is confirmed to be released on August 16. According to predictions, it is definitely a movie that will break over 1 billion.

That means that there is only one week left for most movies to be released in August - between August 9th and August 16th...

What about early August?

Haha, "Fast and Furious 6", "Pacific Rim", "Danger", and "Jurassic Park 3D" are all released during this time period. Who dares to get into trouble with domestic movies?

Even Tianmei Media's youth film "The Left Ear" only took in 260 million at the box office!

Back to the topic, after Gao Qunshu posted this on Weibo, he was directly besieged by Guo Jingming’s fans...

The two sides were at loggerheads.

Then, at the premiere of "A Romantic Affair", Gao Qunshu complained to a group of media, claiming, "I criticized Guo Jingming in the previous period and expanded the scolding. The bosses who protect the calf want to teach me a lesson."

The so-called "lesson" is that Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times 2" has been rescheduled and will be released on August 8 at the same time as Director Gao's "A Romantic Affair", a close "hand-to-hand" fight.

Shen Xudong rolled his eyes directly...

You really think highly of yourself, "A Romantic Affair" is a masterpiece comparable to "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"...

Does "Tiny Times 2" want to educate you?

The media below did not give him any face, and directly stood up and asked: "Why doesn't he want to educate "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea"?"

Gao Qunshu explained: ""Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is actually a fan movie...it's just that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has a larger number of fans..."

Shen Xudong couldn't help it: "According to your theory, there are no normal movies in the world, they are all fan movies... Then can I say that "A Romantic Affair" is also a fan movie? Because it is an adaptation of Haiyan's original work?"
