Chapter 340: Short Selling (4400+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
"Ah Lang's Story" officially starts today!
In China, it takes almost several months for actor training to prepare for a film from project approval to preliminary preparation, but there is simply no such long time for you to prepare in Xiangjiang.
This is also the difference between domestic films and Xiangjiang movies at this time, and the same two different shooting methods also give different flavors to the performance methods of the actors in the two places.
Domestic film actors are more disciplined and will perform in the established way of the movie, in a decent manner.
And Hong Kong's movies are even better in terms of temporary response.
These two performance styles can't be said to be good or bad, everyone has their own merits.
The movie "The Story of Ah Lang" is the first movie led by Wu Jianye after winning Liu Feng, and Fengge Entertainment naturally attaches great importance to it.
Therefore, when "Ah Lang's Story" was launched, Jiang Zhiqiang, as the new general manager of Fengge Entertainment, also rushed to the scene in person, coupled with Zhou Yanfa's popularity in Xiangjiang now, so when "Ah Lang's Story" was launched, it attracted media newspapers from all over Xiangjiang.
Wu Jianye was happy at this time, hiding to the side, watching the main creators of the movie, facing the long guns and short cannons of the media.
Gong Bin, who participated in the filming of a movie in Xiangjiang for the first time, naturally faced the media in Xiangjiang for the first time at this time, which made her a little difficult to adapt for a while.
This movie not only has the joining of Zhou Runfa, but also the joining of Wu Mengda, who has reformed his ways.
Wu Mengda's previous road to fame was too smooth, so he became addicted to gambling, owed a huge amount of gambling debts in the early eighties, and even had suicidal thoughts at one point, but finally survived, and then Wu Mengda began to study acting seriously, and it was not until last year that he participated in the wireless "Senior Brother Xinzha" again to get out of the quagmire.
As for his later golden partner Zhou Xingchi, he has just escaped from the category of dead play and played the main role in TVB's unit drama "Brother's Girlfriend".
After the interview, Zhou Runfa, Wu Mengda, and Du Qifeng chatted together, and among the three, Zhou Runfa and Wu Mengda were both students of the third session of the Xiangjiang Wireless TVB Artist Training Class.
At that time, when Wu Mengda owed a huge amount of gambling debts, he wanted to ask Zhou Runfa for help, but at that time, Zhou Yanfa had already seen through it, as long as he gave the money to Wu Mengda, Wu Mengda would definitely have to take the money to gamble again, so he did not lend money to Wu Mengda.
At that time, Wu Mengda hated Zhou Runfa very much, you must know that they were good friends at that time, but with the passage of time, Wu Mengda also slowly understood Zhou Runfa's approach, so now although everyone no longer talks about everything as before, it is no problem to be an ordinary friend.
As for Du Qifeng, he was their junior brother, a student from the fourth artist training class, but he studied directing at that time, not acting.
Because TVB's artist training class is so famous, there are a lot of superstars, so everyone thinks that this artist training class is only for training artists, but in fact, this is just a misunderstanding of everyone, wireless training classes, not only artist classes, director classes, and screenwriter classes.
When Wu Mengda was addicted to drugs, Du Qifeng even thought that his senior brother couldn't support the wall with mud.
However, the prodigal son did not change his money, and in the end, everyone saw Wu Mengda's change, and they were all willing to help his fellow disciple.
Gong Bin also came to Wu Jianye's side at this time, even with Zhou Yanfa's help just now, she was still a little at a loss, and those reporters had all the questions.
Some people even asked her if she relied on her relationship to get the opportunity to co-star in a movie with Zhou Yunfa.
This made Gong Zhen a little worried.
"Okay, Xiangjiang's reporters are this virtue, you don't have to take their words to heart, as long as you act in the movie well, when the movie is released, you will naturally know your ability!" Wu Jianye comforted.
Gong Yan nodded, but then asked with some loss, "Are you going back soon?"
The main problem of Wu Jianye's visit to Xiangjiang this time is the acquisition of ATV, and now ATV has been acquired by Yaoguang Group, which means that Wu Jianye's time in Xiangjiang is running out.
Wu Jianye: "Okay, for the rest of the time, you will be very busy, when you have time, I will come to Xiangjiang to see you again!"
Gong Yan also knew that there was no way to do it, but there were still grievances in his heart.
At this time, Wu Mengda and Du Qifeng also came over under the leadership of Zhou Runfa.
"Wu Sheng, this is Du Qifeng, the director of this movie, and this is Wu Mengda, my classmate in the artist training class!" Zhou Yunfa introduced the two.
Du Qifeng and Wu Mengda both know Wu Jianye's status in Fengge Entertainment, and their attitudes are naturally very respectful, especially Du Qifeng, as a director, he is naturally more clear about Wu Jianye's achievements.
This has created a special position for Wu Jianye in Xiangjiang.
In the hearts of ordinary Xiangjiang fans, Wu Jianye is one of the most well-known rock stars in the world, and in this group of Xiangjiang directors, Wu Jianye is a quasi-master director, and the director who can win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival is enough for them to worship.
"Director Wu, I've already read your "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and I personally like the use of colors in it!" Du Qifeng complimented.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Director Du is polite, I also watched the "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" you filmed before, and I also like Director Du's arrangement of the atmosphere in the movie and the actors' positions!"
The reason why Du Qifeng can be called the master of Xiangjiang directors in later generations is because of the feeling he created in the group scenes in the movie and the atmosphere of the whole movie, which is definitely the top director in the world.
"Gunfire" and "PTU" are the best interpretations, these two plays are group scenes, but the atmosphere of the whole movie and the position of many actors in the camera are unforgettable.
At this time, although Du Qifeng was not yet Du Cannon, he still had the arrogance he should have, so after listening to Wu Jianye's compliment, he also showed a smug smile.
Later, Wu Mengda also expressed his gratitude to Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, thank you Fengge Entertainment for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely perform well." ”
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, you will also be a person of Fengge Entertainment in the future, and the company will not treat its own people badly!"
Wu Mengda hurriedly said: "Thank you Director Wu for your concern!"
After chatting a few words, Wu Jianye got up and said goodbye, leaving this place to the crew of "Ah Lang's Story".
After leaving the crew, Wu Jianye went straight to Yu Zhi Investment in Central.
Since Chen Wenlun and Xie Wanqing have already dealt with him, it is naturally impossible for him to let go of his opponent, Pan Disheng's Debao Pictures is now in an embarrassment due to the joint ban of Fengge Entertainment and Golden Harvest, and its artists are also panicking, unless Pan Disheng can hold on until four years later, the lease contract between Fengge Entertainment and Shaw Brothers Cinemas ends, otherwise in the past four years, Pan Disheng's Debao Pictures, don't think about doing anything.
In this battle, Pan Disheng's loss was at least more than 100 million, which was not a bolt from the blue for Pan Disheng, who had just started his career.
Now Wu Jianye is aiming at Chen's toys.
"Brother, we're ready!"
In the rest of the investment, Yanwen has already been in full swing.
"Okay, let's get started!" Wu Jianye has found a way to deal with Chen's toys through the observation of the past two days, although after the last lesson, Chen's toys have expanded their shareholdings, but also more than 51%, but as long as your company is still in the stock market, there are many ways to deal with you.
Therefore, the listing of the company is actually a double-edged sword, although it can raise funds more quickly, but it may also make the founders lose control of the company.
In the afternoon, as soon as the stock market in Hong Kong opened, the entire stock exchange felt an unusual smell.
Chen's toys, which have always been favored by the Xiangjiang stock market, have seen a large number of sell-offs, which makes some people a little confused.
Soon the news reached Chen Wenlun's ears.
The first moment he received the news, he thought of Wu Jianye, and immediately called Xie Wanqing, who had come to Chen's toys to help him, to his office.
"Someone maliciously sold the shares of Chen's toys!"
"Is it Wu Jianye?" Xie Wanqing immediately asked.
"I don't know, but it should be him!" Chen Wenlun said briefly.
Xie Wanqing immediately inquired about the specific situation of the person in charge of investment of Chen's toys, and then said: "How can he have so many shares of Chen's toys in his hands?"
After finishing speaking, his face changed: "Could it be that a major shareholder sold his shares to him?"
Chen Wenlun immediately picked up the phone on his desk and asked the company's major shareholders if they had sold the company's shares recently.
"Nope!"
After putting down the phone, Chen Wenlun said, but his face was not much lighter because of this.
"Short?" Xie Wanqing's face also changed!
Shorting is a strategic behavior in the stock market, but this mechanism has very high requirements for capital, even when Wu Jianye was reborn, the domestic stock market did not introduce this mechanism, but the Xiangjiang stock market at this time has long existed.
Chen Wenlun said in a deep voice: "Hmph, since he dares to sell, we will take over, I want to see what to do when the time comes, he Wu Jianye can't take out enough shares?"
Shorting, in this era, is actually a very dangerous behavior, taking advantage of the time difference in stock trading, you can sell the stocks that you do not have, and when the shareholders who really own the company's shares rush to the panic, when they sell the real shares they have in their hands, the short seller can buy at a lower price, and then transfer the acquired equity to the previous acquirer, so as to earn the difference.
Of course, this is only a relatively superficial explanation, and it will be a very long time to really understand the mechanism of shorting.
At the same time, shorting is also a very controversial thing in the stock market, so even when Wu Jianye was reborn, the domestic stock market has not introduced a shorting mechanism.
In the face of Wu Jianye's shorting, Chen Wenlun wanted to buy the stock price of Chen's toys at a high price, thereby raising the stock price.
If Chen Wenlun wins, Wu Jianye will not only have to face a huge loss of funds, but also face the possible outcome of not having shares to Chen Wenlun on the handover day.
And what Wu Jianye has to do is to try his best to cause a huge sensation in this matter, causing panic among shareholders, as long as the leeks in the market are gone, they are eager to sell the scattered shares in their hands, then Chen's toys will be gone, and Chen Wenlun will face huge losses.
Not only that, but it will also create an unreliable impression in the minds of shareholders, and it will be difficult to think about it later.
This short-selling of Chen's toys came very suddenly, so suddenly that even now, many people have not figured out who is dealing with Chen's toys.
At the beginning, shareholders watched the stock price of Chen's toys being depressed little by little, and then the large sell-off was being acquired little by little, and they still had some expectations in their hearts, thinking that it was impossible for Chen's to watch their stock price being deliberately suppressed.
But as more and more stocks were sold, and Chen's acquisitions were getting slower, a bad feeling rose in their hearts.
Chen's Toys!
"How much money does this Wu Jianye have, isn't he worried about losing all these money?" Chen Wenlun has long lost his former demeanor at this time, and the glasses he usually wears on his face have been thrown on his desk by him, and his tie has also been torn by him.
The reason for this result is that Wu Jianye's sell-off is too ruthless, and it is not necessary to use cash for shorting, he needs to pay a deposit and interest to the institution that owns the equity of Chen's toys.
Although the entire Chen family owns 51% of the shares of Chen's toys, these shares are not only in the hands of Chen Wenlun, but scattered in the hands of all Chen members and the Chen alliance, and their shares are likely to be mortgaged, or other collateral situations, that is to say, Chen Wenlun is not facing a simple 49% of the shares at all, but may exceed 70% of the Chen shares.
The funds involved in this are more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars, this huge amount of money even the entire Chen family can't come out, plus some people are now maliciously shorting the stock price of Chen's toys, even if the Chen family wants to take these shares to mortgage, they can't get their ideal funds.
It can be said that this battle was unequal from the beginning, Wu Jianye has a huge amount of money in his hands, not to mention Chen's toys, a company with a market value of less than one billion, even if the market value of Chen's toys reaches 5 billion, Wu Jianye will die.
"Brother Lun, you don't have to worry first, we can think of a way!"
Xie Wanqing stepped forward and comforted.
"It's all you, the eighth woman, if it weren't for you, how could I be the enemy of Wu Jianye, and now seeing that Chen's toys are about to be lost in my hands, you are happy!"
The furious Chen Wenlun finally vented his anger on Xie Wanqing, a woman he once said would love for the rest of his life.
In the face of the possibility of losing Chen's toys, Chen Wenlun's love is finally not so strong.
Xie Wanqing stood there in a daze, looking at Chen Wenlun blankly, even though she had felt that Chen Wenlun had a grudge against her during this time, but she didn't expect Chen Wenlun to really say these words.
At this moment, Xie Wanqing's heart was broken!
"I see, don't worry, you won't lose Chen's toys!" Xie Wanqing wiped away the tears she was about to shed, turned around and walked to the door of the office.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Wenlun's voice came from behind her, like a wounded beast.
"The whole thing started because of me, I'm going to go to Wu Jianye now. ”
After finishing speaking, Xie Wan walked out of Chen Wenlun's office without looking back.
Chen Wenlun looked at Xie Wanqing's back, pouted, and finally didn't say anything.
