Zhang Manyu's birthday everyone had a lot of fun, very happy, although it was only held in the hotel, the conditions were very simple, but on the contrary, everyone's sincere friendship seemed to be more experienced.

Zhou Bai has also participated in some high-end and atmospheric drinking parties, but he really doesn't like the kind of fake excitement where everyone wears a mask and pretends to be enthusiastic, but this kind of simple thing makes him happier more.

The birthday gift bag given to Zhang Manyu is actually not a valuable thing, so he wrote a birthday card and a very simple bracelet, this bracelet is a local souvenir, and it is really not much in value, but this is Zhou Bai and Zhang Ziyi who went shopping and carefully selected it, which can be regarded as a heart.

The reason why Zhang Manyu made a wish for world peace is because just a few days before her birthday, the "9/11" incident occurred in the United States that shocked the world, killing thousands of people, and the impact was so great, who can feel the war hanging over the heads of mankind, although it has nothing to do with our country, but no one wants this kind of thing to happen.

Zhou Bai actually knew about this matter for a long time, and got the news from the memory fragments, but he couldn't do anything, the only thing he could do was to verify whether the people around him had any plans to go abroad, if not, then rest assured.

The kind of thing like what is written in it, taking the opportunity to short the U.S. stock market or something, is purely dead, Zhou Bai is not so white-eyed, some things can be done, some things can't be done, is it really the U.S. surveillance department to eat white rice, this kind of thing to take advantage of the difficult time of the old United States to make a fortune, is enough for them to stare at you for a lifetime.

It's okay to short the financial tsunami, but something like "9/11", it can be said that whoever stupidly bumps into it is a fool, and has to bear the anger of the world's largest power, just worried that there is no place to vent, at this time there is a mosquito that secretly sucks blood on the wound, what do you guess will happen to this mosquito?

……

The days in Dunhuang are very hard, but this kind of hard work Zhou Bai has become accustomed to, everyone in the crew is like this, as an actor, it's okay, there are some breaks, those staff in the crew, including the assistant director, who is not covered with wind and sand.

No way, the scenery of this place is really beautiful, and the environment is really bad, often blowing five or six strong winds, sometimes you can feel the sand flying into your mouth with one mouth.

The things in the studio are generally reported by Xiaocao and Lin Chufang by phone, originally Zhou Baijin should have brought Xiaocao over with the crew, but considering that the environment here is too difficult, she asked her to go to Yuan Xiang's side to help, listening to Yuan Xiang, Xiaocao's growth is still quite fast, and she is also very adaptable to work.

As soon as he returned to the hotel from work that night, Zhou Bai received a call from Liu Guoyang.

"Brother Liu, are you saying that they want to take a stake in our studio?" Zhou Bai asked in surprise, but he didn't expect that just after a box office hit movie, many people put their minds on the shares of the studio.

"Yes, there are a few companies that have already issued conditions, and some of them are very generous, so I will give you a call to report them. Liu Guoyang confirmed.

"What is your opinion?" Zhou Bai asked.

What Zhou Bai said about you is actually the management team of the studio, referring to the main management personnel mainly Liu Guoyang, including Yuan Xi, Lin Chufang, publicity director Li Jia and others, these people are the backbone of the studio.

"We think it's not bad if we can join forces, and the conditions they offer are not low, 50 million for 49 percent of the shares, which is already very generous, and they don't seek a controlling stake, so we think it's acceptable. Liu Guoyang said with a slight sigh.

"The courage of the Wang brothers is indeed very big, even greater than that of Zhang Weiping, and they can value the studio at 100 million under the condition that only one movie is successful, it can be said that they are indeed very sincere. Zhou Bai said with a sigh.

This time, Liu Guoyang received an offer from the Wang brothers of Huayi Brothers, they have a lot of money, and they are willing to exchange 50 million for 49% of the shares of "Baiyang Studio", and now they want to come up with such a large amount of money, it is not easy to do it, it can be seen that they have made a lot of determination to tie Zhou Bai to their chariot.

This time, the olive branch can be said to be real money, 50 million for 49 percent of the shares, this price is really not low.

"Do you mean to agree to their terms? I think 49 percent of the shares are a bit much, or suppress a little, although there is no controlling interest, but the shares have reached the limit, if the studio wants to introduce investment in the future, it will be very bad for us. Liu Guoyang said hesitantly.

Estimated at 100 million, this condition is indeed too attractive, with a studio founded less than two years ago, the valuation reaches 100 million, even Liu Guoyang is excited, but as he said, once the investment is introduced again, it is likely that Zhou Bai will lose control of the studio, although the core assets of the studio are Zhou Bai and Yuan Xiang, but once they are controlled by others, it will definitely be uncomfortable.

"I just sighed, Zhang Weiping's offer to me is not very low, if it is compared to resources, the new picture is not worse than Huayi, but I refused, so Huayi Brothers' offer is also rejected together, if you want to cooperate, there are many ways, I am not ready to move the shares of the studio. Zhou Bai exhaled and said.

It is really difficult to refuse these lucrative conditions, this is 50 million, Zhou Bai has been in 98 years to the present, and all his net worth is not so much, even if "Fifty Times of First Love" is a big hit at the box office, in fact, the final box office is divided into his hands, and the profit is only about 16 million.

Although it is said that the income of a movie is definitely more than just looking at the box office, the box office of 118 million is about six times the cost of the movie, and the box office profit of the producer is less than double.

Fifty million is a big deal, Zhou Bai refused at once and made a lot of determination, because he really didn't want other people's hands to be inserted into the studio, even if Huayi Brothers did not have a controlling stake, but as a major shareholder, it was bound to have an impact on Zhou Bai's decision-making.

Now that our studio has become famous, it has been remembered by many people, and it is bound to be targeted next time, if you can cooperate with Huayi Brothers, it will save a lot of trouble, you don't think about it? Liu Guoyang said hesitantly.

"It's not okay to invest in the studio, but it doesn't mean that you can't cooperate, there is a lot of investment in "Painless Love", I plan to bring in external funds, you reply to them that we have a project that we want them to invest in, and the current production cost of the film is about 30 million, ask them if they are interested. ”
