Chapter 244: The Charm of Capital
Peng Yichen stood on the podium, looking at countless pairs Chinese of eyes staring at him, and no longer felt awkward and uncomfortable with this feeling of being in the limelight.
He easily expressed his thoughts on "Journey to the West".
"Please note that "Journey to the West" is not a story about religion and faith, and the protagonist I want to create is not the legendary gods and Buddhas in the sky. It's a mortal with flesh and blood, who dares to love and hate.. Therefore, I would like to state one thing in advance that the characters in this movie and the characters in Journey to the West have no connection except for the same name. In the same way, this movie has nothing to do with religion, myths and legends, or beliefs. You don't need to be seated. You can think of this as a fairy tale for adults. From this fairy tale, you can see the story of young people's pursuit of love and slow growth. After listening to Peng Yichen's answer, the reporters in the audience all had stunned expressions, and they didn't understand what he was going to shoot "Journey to the West" about.
At this time, many reporters no longer cared about the restriction of three questions, and asked nonsense.
"Director Peng, how can you say that your big talk about Journey to the West has nothing to do with the characters of Journey to the West?" someone asked.
"Yes, if it has nothing to do with Journey to the West, then the name of this film is just for the convenience of hype. ”
"Director Peng, the four protagonists of Journey to the West are all practicing monks, what love stories are worth excavating about them?"
"Director Peng, in the introduction just now, this movie is divided into two episodes, the name of the next episode is the marriage of the Great Sage, does it mean that Sun Wukong marries his wife?" ...... After Peng Yichen and all the reporters quieted down, he glanced at the audience lightly, pointed to the last reporter to ask a question, and said with a smile
"Last question, pick the one you just shouted. Indeed, the next episode of this movie is the story of Monkey King marrying his wife. As soon as Peng Yichen's voice fell, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar.
In film and television works, it is not that there are no works that have adapted and described the love between the four Tang monks and apprentices, but in those works, they only scratched the surface, and never dared to describe this point too deeply, let alone let these four characters marry wives.
dared to let Sun Wukong marry a wife in his works, Peng Yichen was definitely the first. Everyone's three views and lower limit were once again refreshed by Peng Yichen's boldness...... When everyone thinks of the picture of a hairy monkey and a beautiful woman lying on the bed, they feel goosebumps stand up all over their bodies.
Peng Yichen seemed to be satisfied with everyone's reaction and did not give reporters a chance to ask questions. He turned his head and gestured to the backstage staff, and the list of main characters in "Journey to the West" was refreshed on the big screen.
Sun Wukong was reincarnated as a bandit? is it called the Supreme Treasure? Is his 'first love' Bai Jingjing or a white bone spirit?
Bai Jingjing's sister is called Chun Thirty Niang, is she a spider spirit? And this silk immortal, whose real identity is the wick of the Buddha - Zixia Fairy?
The brief character introduction not only did not let these reporters guess the main plot of "Journey to the West", but made their brains almost become a pile of paste.
In the end, the big screen showed the proportion of investment by Huimin Film and Television and Chen Jing Film Company, each of which invested 500 million yuan and received 45% of the revenue share in the later stage of the film, while Peng Yichen became a shareholder as the actor, screenwriter and director, and personally received 0% revenue share.
At this point, Peng Yichen's task was completely completed, and he walked back to his seat. Next, it was the turn of the other four big directors to take the stage one by one.
In the first year after Huimin Film and Television went public, of course, it was impossible to just cooperate with Peng Yichen, and at the same time, four other films were also announced.
They are: Chen Guozhong's "The Great Wall", Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", Zhang Xingping's "Love Through Time and Space", and Xu Ke's "Five Elements Bagua".
When Peng Yichen knew that after Huimin Film and Television was listed, he immediately wanted to shoot the movies of these four big directors, and he knew that the 30 million shares he bought would definitely make a lot of money.
A year later, his prediction came true. …… Two days after the end of the media promotion meeting, the same group of people gathered together and waited for the performance of Huimin Film and Television's listed stocks after the stock market opened in the morning.
Peng Yichen sat at a table with several directors and stars who also bought the original shares of Huimin Film and Television, and after everyone toasted together, Peng Yichen took the initiative to talk to Zhang Xingping through a toast.
After two years of cooperation, Peng Yichen and Zhang Xingping have a very close relationship. Peng Yichen deliberately took the opportunity of today's listing of Huimin Film and Television to deliberately talk to him, just because his thoughts were a little difficult to speak.
"What, you're going to ask me to play a role in your new movie. Tatsuko, you're kidding. I've never been an actor in my life, aren't you a strong man?" Zhang Xingping almost jumped up from his chair after listening to Peng Yichen's words.
"Haha, Director Zhang, you are too modest. I really have a role in this movie that has to be you. Judging from the image and temperament, only you can play this character. Peng Yichen sneered.
"Is this character the kind of handsome, handsome, and well-hidden? Zhang Xingping wiped his hair with a narcissistic expression.
Peng Yichen knew that he was sometimes like this kind of old naughty boy, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, it's this kind of character." ”
"Then tell me, what is the name of this character?"
"Bodhi Ancestor!" ...... Before you know it, it's time for the opening of the Hong Kong stock market. Peng Yichen went to the bathroom, and when he returned, he saw everyone standing up from their seats and cheering together.
It turned out that after the stock market opened, the share price of Huimin Film and Television rose from 5.2 yuan per share to .3, and it rose in just a few minutes.
"Up... Rose... "Many small investors shouted in unison.
Soon, even some young actors who bought a small portion of the stock joined in. The stock price of Huimin Film and Television really rose all the way in their shouting, and Ali's stock rose to 7.5 yuan an hour later.
Peng Yichen's purchase price of the original shares was 2.0 yuan per share, which means that in just one hour, the value of the shares in Peng Yichen's hands has increased by 2.9 times.
The original shares he bought for 30 million were already worth about 87 million at this time. The madness and charm of capital are fully revealed at this moment.
"Today we have made a good start, I believe everyone must have made a lot of money, please support Huimin Film and Television Group in the future. Now, I'm proposing a toast to everyone. At this time, Xiao Min, a strong woman who has become the general manager of Huimin Film and Television, raised her wine glass and proposed.
Everyone responded. Everyone raised their glasses and shouted
"Long Live Radiance"
"I will support you" and took a sip of the red wine in the glass. Peng Yichen looked at Xiao Min's current appearance, and suddenly thought of the scene when he and Huang Bo signed a contract with Huimin Film and Television.
At that time, Xiao Min gave it to everyone
"Painted pie", I didn't expect it to be realized so quickly. What he didn't know was that just a week later, when the stock price of Huimin Film and Television stabilized, the stock price rose by 350% compared with the listing price.
As a result, the market value of Huimin Film and Television Group swelled to 2 billion, becoming the undisputed largest film and television entertainment company in the whole of China.
And the value of the shares on hand of Peng Yichen and Yu Jing will also swell to about 700 million by then. The magic of capital is eroding the entire Chinese film industry little by little.
