Chapter 269: I feel sorry for Brother Xiaoyao
"We invested in Tianyi Entertainment, not to harvest leeks in the stock market, but to do it as a career. Wang Jinjin explained.
"Don't Mr. Shen and those foreigners want to do a good job of Tianyi?"
"I don't know what he's thinking," Wang Jinjin spread his hands, "but I don't like what he does." The play of those foreigners, on the one hand, allows Tianyi to go to the stock market to make money, and on the other hand, they also use Tianyi's resources to make money for some other companies they hold, but Tianyi itself does not make any money. Don't look at Tianyi, it seems that the momentum is very good now, but this kind of development is unhealthy. If it continues like this, it will not last long. β
Du Caige moved, looking a little uneasy.
I always feel that it is a little wrong for the other party to talk to him about this kind of thing that should be confidential as soon as he opens his mouth.
Xiao Junhua said with a smile: "Don't blame us for being shallow and profound, Wang Shao and I have also observed you for a long time, and I think that Brother Du is a friend worth making, so I will speak more directly." β
Du Caige smiled and nodded, but he was a little wary in his heart, he didn't want to be used as a gunman, and he was sold to pay for him.
"Yes, Brother Du, I know very well what you are a person, I have been in contact with some of your former friends, and everyone has a good reputation for you, righteousness, and affection, so we want to make friends with you. Wang Jinjin said.
Xiao Junhua gave a thumbs up, "At the beginning, those actresses were claimed by the companies they endorsed, and you spent hundreds of millions of dollars to lose money for them." Although there are not many people in the circle who know, but if anyone knows, who doesn't praise you for being affectionate and righteous? You can completely ignore them. β
The two sang and harmonized, and put a high hat on Du Caige.
Du Caige is not a young man who is confused after listening to a few nice words.
He was still highly vigilant in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about me, it's boring to talk about me, there's nothing to talk about about those things." Let's talk about Tianyi Entertainment, I checked the holding situation of Tianyi Entertainment carefully. β
"Now it should be 53% foreign-owned, Dahuaguo's shareholders only account for 14%, and the management team and senior employees hold 7%, and 26% are circulating in the hands of shareholders. β
"What do you think, you want to take back the shares from foreigners?"
"Take back some of it. Xiao Junhua said.
"Isn't it okay to throw money?" Du Caige, who didn't understand capital operation, asked a very naΓ―ve question.
Of course, the other party also knew that he didn't understand these things, and he didn't mean to laugh at him.
The fat on Wang Jinjin's face trembled, and he sighed: "If we want to take back the shares now, on the one hand, we must have a lot of premiums, and it is very unworthy." Even if we cut the meat and buy it at a premium, the other party will not put too many shares to us. β
"Why is that?" Du Caige was puzzled.
Wang Jinjin lowered his head and drank tea, Xiao Junhua thought about it, and explained in a language that Du Caige could understand: "Because they need the shell of Tianyi Entertainment to do something." For example, on the bright side, Hollywood movies are introduced. Emmm, there are many more, involving some secrets of the company, which I am not very convenient to disclose. β
Du Caige didn't touch the hot tea, took a bottle of ice mineral water and drank it in small sips.
He guessed that those foreigners would use Tianyi to do some illegal things?
For example, money laundering?
In his previous life, he had heard many similar things.
He thought for a while and asked the most crucial question: "I still don't understand why you came to me for this matter." Frankly, you may know that Shen Jinsong has a personal vendetta with me, and I have a reason to deal with him, but on the one hand, he and I are not a major opponent at the moment. On the other hand, Shen Jinsong is just a vice president, and if I deal with him, what good can I do to you?"
Xiao Junhua and Wang Jinjin looked at each other and smiled, the two foxes, one old and one young, one thin and one fat, obviously had a tacit understanding.
"Actually, it's not a problem, I'll explain it to you later," Xiao Junhua said, "The most critical problem now is that you have a grudge against him, and we also see him as unpleasant, and we want him to suffer." We have common interests. Do you think that's the reason?"
Du Caige nodded. "That's right, it's the basis of our partnership. β
Xiao Junhua spread his hands: "But how to deal with him? This is what we should discuss." β
......
When various topics related to the second season of "New Power of Music" remained high on the hot search list, and tens of millions of viewers across the country were looking forward to the broadcast of the second episode, the serialization of the online version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was about to usher in the finale.
Although a large part of those readers who have entered the physical book have bad intentions, they deliberately describe "Fairy Sword" as warm, humorous, sweet and romantic.
However, some users who bought physical books in online shopping malls also left real opinions.
"I haven't read such an abusive book in years. β
"Where is the author's address? I definitely don't want to send blades to his house. β
"Crying all night. I recommended it to my classmates, and my classmates also burst into tears. I feel sorry for my brother. β
"I've been struggling with whether Li Xiaoyao prefers Lin Yueru or Ling'er, and who he will end up with now. As a result, I don't need to worry about it now~ laugh and cry. β
So in fact, many readers who read it on the Internet already know that the ending of this book may be more abusive.
But knowing that the fascinating story and the romantic and moving love still attract them to continue watching.
I will cry when I know the ending, so it's a big deal to buy a few more packs of pumping paper!
A few days ago, Du Caige sent a single chapter, announcing that after the end of the first volume, the book would be ghostwritten by the gunman.
He will only provide outlines, settings, etc.
This single chapter caused an uproar in the online literature world.
Yes, not only in his readership, not only among the users of the founding Chinese website.
It also dropped a bombshell in the entire online literature circle.
In fact, on the topic of "gunman", readers have long communicated.
There are some authors who, while updating at a rapid rate, have dropped a lot in quality, and still have the energy to open two or three books at the same time.
Isn't this a gunslinger?
It's just that no writer has ever publicly stated before: I hired the gunman.
Many fans just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
But Du Caige put this truth in front of readers in a bloody way.
Many readers took off their fans on the spot.
"I didn't expect you, a thick-eyed person, to betray the revolution. I will never read your books again, the rivers and lakes are far away, so cherish them. β
Of course, there are also readers who have expressed their support for Hemingway.
"A lot of the author didn't say it, but who doesn't know that he hired the gunman? As long as the quality of the book does not deteriorate, I will continue to support Haid. In fact, I quite appreciate Haid's words in such a clear place, and tell you plainly that this is a gunman's ghostwriting, and he will not cheat money with a clear conscience. β
In short, there is a certain market for both opinions.
In fact, will the subscription drop drastically? It depends on the situation after the second volume of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is released.
Even if the subscription really drops, Du Caige actually doesn't care.
On the one hand, the part of "Sword and Fairy" that was followed by a gunslinger should be paid a large part of the profit.
In addition, the book "Fairy Sword" has already helped him earn enough money.
This time, the physical version of "Sword and Fairy 1" was released at the same time as the online version, so the sales were not affected by the online version at all.
The first printing of 300,000 copies, of which 50,000 hardcovers, was sold out in two and a half days. MANY USERS HAVE TO ORDER A SNEAK PEEK OF THE DIGITAL VERSION IN FINDER AND THEN ORDER A PHYSICAL BOOK.
On the bestseller lists of "Dahua Wencui", "Southern Literature", and "Mingde Daily", "Fairy Sword 1" all entered the top 5 of the weekly best-selling list.
ON FINDER, 310,000 SALES WERE MADE IN A WEEK, RANKING SECOND ON THE WEEKLY BEST-SELLING LIST.
Many industry insiders estimate that if it weren't for the conservative number of first prints of Sprout Press, "Sword and Fairy 1" would be expected to be the weekly sales champion.
A large part of the reason why "Fairy Sword 1" sells so well is because "Zhu Xian" is still on sale, and "Fairy Sword 1" is under the banner of the latest Xianxia masterpiece by the author of "Zhu Xian", a touching Xianxia.
The name "Hemingway" has also made a name for itself in the field of physical books, and it has a certain market appeal.
The 500,000 copies that were urgently printed have been almost sold out so far.
The market feedback is quite good, judging from the online ordering situation, there are many user IDs who place an order to buy a copy a few days after placing an order, and then place an order to buy, perhaps as a gift to relatives and friends.
According to this trend, it is entirely possible for "Fairy Sword 1" to reach sales of more than 10 million in 12 months, allowing Du Caige to get a stage bonus of 3 million.
It can be said that in this year's book market, "Zhu Xian" and the following "Fairy Sword 1" have become phenomenal readings.
In the field of classified books of Xianxia, he has fought all over the world and has not met an opponent.
This has also led to the film and television rights of "Zhu Xian" and "Fairy Sword" becoming hot.
Many people contacted Fan Yuhong for inquiries.
However, only the copyright of the big movie in "Zhu Xian" has not been sold, and Du Caige still wants to sell it at a price.
And the big movie copyright of "Fairy Sword", he wants to keep it for himself.
As a director, and as a person who likes Xianxia very much, if you can't make a movie like "Fairy Sword" that has strong traces of time and once represented the dream of a young man, your career will be imperfect.
As for others, such as anime, serials, online drama copyrights, etc., you can put some out.
But you can't just sell it just because you have more money than people give.
It is also necessary to examine the production capacity of the buyer.
The Fairy Sword series can be built into a fairy sword universe, and if it is sold to a buyer who is just bad money, it will undoubtedly damage the value of the IP.
These can be talked about slowly.
At present, Du Caige is mainly writing the romance of dragons and snakes in terms of handling.
Because the next thing is to write songs for Duan Xiaochen to help her enter the overseas market, to record programs, and to make micro-movies.
So Du Caige has been working very hard for a while.
My hands are almost dislocated, and I have saved 220,000 words of manuscript.
The relevant publicity has also been carried out, and the book is expected to be released on August 15.
Many readers are looking forward to what Hemingway called the "national art stream".
