Chapter 1115: The impact of 32.5 billion
If there is no Yang Ming, maybe Xiao Bufan will still be the popular king of the entertainment industry, and he has a lot of support in the hearts of fans.
In fact, the box office fiasco of "The Legend of the Snow Fox of Liaozhai" did not have much negative impact on Xiao Bufan in the face of the box office fiasco of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms";
No one can guarantee that the movie they starred in will always be a blockbuster.
It can only be blamed before the release of the movie, Xiao Bufan was too confident and too high-profile, so that he was hyped by the media and watched by everyone.
In order to alleviate the adverse impact of the box office failure of "Liao Zhai" on himself, Xiao Bufan arranged for people to push everything on Mingjing's head.
This is where the problem lies.
Mingjing resolutely turned against Xiao's Film Company, exposing all kinds of inside stories, coupled with all kinds of black materials from the Xiao family consortium at this time, which were held by the media, Xiao Bufan's identity as a child of the Xiao family suddenly became the target of the entertainment industry, and everything he did in the past was turned out by the media, and his reputation plummeted.
Originally, Xiao Bufan's popularity in the entertainment industry was hyped up through various means, and a star who was not supported by classic works was like a bubble, which would blow away.
All this also made Xiao Bufan's efforts in the entertainment industry in the past few years come to naught.
And Yang Ming, who detonated all this, was naturally regarded by Xiao Bufan as a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his heart, and he was mad with anger.
The family spends money on timely movies, in addition to the high-level executives of the family consortium who are optimistic about the prospects of timely movies in Internet e-commerce, there are also reasons why Xiao Bufan contributes to it, he wants to destroy the career that Yang Ming is proud of, he wants Yang Ming to stink, let him go bankrupt, and destroy all his pride.
It is precisely because of these that Xiao Bufan is so concerned about timely movies, personally sits in Yanjing, and arranges people to poach people from Maoyan Movies, all of which are instructed by Xiao Bufan.
However, no one expected that the situation would change so quickly.
Overnight, Yang Ming's capital was comparable to that of the entire Xiao family.
Hundreds of billions of wealth, if you add Yang Ming's previous assets, even if it is not as good as Xiao's, it will not be too far behind, and Yang Ming has a huge cash flow in his hands that even if it is Xiao's, it is quite shocking.
"Ho!"
Xiao Bufan sat in his office with a gloomy face, and slowly spit out two words from his mouth.
The reason for all this is that the outside world has once again restored its confidence in Maoyan Movies and Yang Ming, all of which originated from He's sky-high acquisition.
Although he was extremely annoyed by this, he could not vent it.
The He family in the Lion City, this is a family consortium that is even more powerful than the Xiao family.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Bai of Zhonghuang Entertainment and Mr. He of Shengli Pictures are here. At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in.
"Got it. Xiao Bufan took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.
After a while, Bai Chongshi and He Xinghan walked in.
Seeing this, Xiao Bufan immediately arranged for someone to make tea for them, he looked at He Xinghan, and couldn't help but think of the He family in the Lion City that he was still talking about just now, although they were both surnamed He, but the two had nothing to do with each other.
"Lao He, how is it? When will the racing movie of Victory Pictures start filming?" Seeing He Xinghan, Xiao Bufan couldn't help but think of something, so he asked.
"It's almost coming, next week!" He Xinghan said after a moment's thought.
He knew why Xiao Bufan cared about this, after all, the other party had invested a lot of money in this movie.
Xiao Bufan's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked curiously: "Has the cast been decided?
"Hmm!" He Xinghan nodded, and said confidently: "The candidate has been decided, Luo Tianwen will come to play the male number one, and the other actors are definitely big-name stars, and they will not be worse than Yang Ming!"
Luo Tianwen, the heavyweight superstar in the entertainment industry, if it were not for Yang Ming's success in the international film market, perhaps this has always been the most influential local star artist, but since Yang Ming stepped into the film industry, everything has changed.
Not to mention Yang Ming himself, there are several actors who know the movie just by starring in him, and leave a name in the world.
Even, the newcomer Ji Feihong, who impressed foreign fans through a "Shaolin Temple", to a certain extent, the box office appeal of his movies abroad is a little stronger than Luo Tianwen.
When the media reported the news, it made Luo Tianwen a little embarrassed.
Therefore, in the past two years, Luo Tianwen has been seeking cooperation in the international film industry, but although he has taken on several blockbuster productions released around the world, his reputation has not been good.
What is unknown is that when Yang Ming was casting in "Three Kingdoms", Luo Tianwen secretly contacted Yang Ming and wanted to seek a role, but unfortunately Yang Ming refused, only a few people knew about this matter, and no one in the outside world knew about it, if this matter was known by the media, it is estimated that the entire entertainment industry would be a sensation.
Because of Yang Ming's refusal, this also made Luo Tianwen's prejudice against Yang Ming deeper and deeper.
This time, Victory Pictures announced that it would also make a racing movie, and Luo Tianwen arranged for his agent to contact Victory Pictures and got the male lead, he must make Yang Ming regret it.
You must know that the casting of "Three Kingdoms" was immense, but all well-known actors in the entertainment industry will basically make a cameo in the role of a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms, to be honest, this kind of free cameo, if it is put in normal times, movies directed by other directors, it is estimated that no one will be interested.
But at that time, due to various reasons, all actors and artists were eager for cameos in "Three Kingdoms".
As if he hadn't made a cameo in this super-blockbuster with a lot of heroes, he wouldn't have a place in the entertainment industry.
Luo Tianwen, who failed to get the opportunity, became more and more resentful of Yang Ming.
Xiao Bufan chatted with He Xinghan about the racing movie that Victory Pictures was preparing to shoot, and Bai Chongshi sat on the side and drank tea leisurely without expressing his opinion.
Before, He Xinghan had tried whether his two giants should cooperate in investment and filming, but Bai Chongshi refused after thinking about it, he had an inexplicable fear of Yang Ming in his heart, no matter how good He Xinghan said and how generous the conditions were, he was still not optimistic about Victory Pictures, a star-studded and money-rich racing movie.
Thinking of this, he casually glanced at Xiao Bufan, this young master was probably stimulated by Yang Ming, otherwise he would not have been in the slightest possibility of being in the limelight, but he smashed two or three hundred million at once, it seems that the other party's hatred for Yang Ming is like a surging river, endless!
Ahem-
After a while, Bai Chongshi coughed lightly, interrupted the chat between the two, and said slowly: "Two, what do you say about the movie now?
Hearing Bai Chongshi's words, Xiao Bufan and He Xinghan couldn't help but fall silent, with a solemn look on their faces.
If it was before the news of 'the 32.5 billion yuan sky-high acquisition of the He family in the Lion City', maybe the two would unswervingly continue the subsidy plan, but when the news was exposed, He Xinghan began to retreat as soon as possible.
Compared with Xiao's strong financial resources, Victory Pictures' confidence is not so sufficient.
And Xiao Bufan also looked heavy and hesitant, for Xiao, there is no problem at all to continue to spend money on the implementation of the subsidy plan.
But the pressure brought by 32.5 billion Chinese dollars is just too great.
Yang Ming has this 32.5 billion yuan, and it is estimated that Maoyan Films will continue to fight the subsidy plan with timely films to the end.
In this way, it may not achieve the desired effect.
Seeing the two of them with such expressions, Bai Chongshi couldn't help but sigh slightly, the sky-high purchase of the He family in the Lion City had brought too much influence.
Originally, I expected to rely on Xiao's financial resources to catch Oriental DreamWorks off guard, and even catch up, but now it seems that it is difficult.
The Xiao family is not short of money, but now the other party is also the master of money.
32.5 billion, it can change so many things.
"The subsidy plan is not going to stop for the time being, after all, the timely movie has just been operated, and it needs to continue to increase its popularity and expand the number of users. Xiao Bufan thought about it and said, this strategy was also decided by the top of the family, no matter what, now the timely movie is too much worse than Maoyan, and only by continuing to spend money will there be a chance to catch up.
Bai Chongshi nodded when he heard this, and he also admitted that this was the best way at the moment.
"If several of us join forces to get the theater to ban Maoyan, do you think it's okay?" He Xinghan suddenly asked.
Bai Chongshi, who was drinking tea, heard this, and almost didn't take a sip of tea from his mouth, he looked at He Xinghan, this uncle didn't take cat's eye seriously.
Without waiting for Bai Chongshi to speak, Xiao Bufan shook his head and refused: "This can't be done, although our side is strong, but the other party is not a soft persimmon, if it really makes trouble, our side may not necessarily have an advantage." ”
What are you kidding, Maoyan Movie is not a vegetarian over there, Yang Ming's guy has long used various means to tie Huaxia Brothers Media, Baoli Company, and Royal Entertainment to the same chariot, and the influence of the other party in the film industry is much greater than that of timely movies.
This is not counting Oriental DreamWorks, and Yang Ming also has a theater chain of his own industry.
In fact, Xiao Bufan has another reason in his heart that he has not said, in recent times, the black materials about the Xiao family have been flying all over the sky, and they have even attracted the attention of the government and court departments, and he must be low-key at this time, the family has already told him, and he does not dare to take the lead at this time and use unconventional competitive means against each other.
Bai Chongshi saw that Xiao Bufan was not carried away by hatred, and nodded secretly, fortunately, this young master of the Xiao family is a person who understands, if this person is also hot-headed, only cares about pleasure, and is reckless, he will consider whether he should continue to cooperate.
The trio continued for a while to discuss the issue of timely film development.
At present, there is no good way, only by continuing to subsidize can we maintain the pressure on Maoyan Films.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang in the office.
Just as the three of them saw whose mobile phone rang, another mobile phone rang.
Within moments, all three of their phones rang.
He Xinghan's face was full of curiosity, but Xiao Bufan and Bai Chongshi's expressions changed, and they immediately picked up their mobile phones to talk.
"What? Tianxia Pictures has a stake in Maoyan Films?"
"Liu Xinsheng, Lu Enzhong, Shangguantian, and Wen Jingtao held a press conference together to announce that Tianxia Pictures would acquire 5% of the shares of Maoyan Film for 400 million yuan and become one of the shareholders!"
After a while, the three of them put down their mobile phones and looked at each other, their eyes were extremely heavy.
Especially Bai Chongshi and Xiao Bufan, they each glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity and incredulity in each other's eyes.
Obviously, both of them see the significance and impact of Maoyan Films at such a moment, and pull Tianxia Pictures into Maoyan Films.
This is very bad for a timely movie.
Now, Maoyan Film, as the platform with the largest influence on the Internet and the largest share of Internet ticketing in China, has once again added a shareholder member, Tianxia Pictures!
Looking at the other shareholders, Huaxia Brothers Media, Baoli Company, and Royal Entertainment are the three old giants in the entertainment industry and have a lot of say in the circle;
Originally, these entertainment companies joined forces, which has brought a lot of pressure to the timely film side, after all, Maoyan Film, as a company specializing in Internet ticket distribution, the film industry is a circle that cannot be bypassed in any case, and with the escort of these major companies, the development prospects are definitely smooth sailing.
Now another Tianxia Pictures has been added, maybe this is not a giant-level company, but it is also an old film company, a local first-line film company, and its connections in the film industry are not comparable to ordinary companies.
The more Bai Chongshi thought about it, the more solemn his face became.
He soon realized the influence of the other party's approach, as well as the impact on the inherent interests of the Chinese entertainment industry.
"No, we also want to include new partners!" Bai Chongshi said categorically, if this continues, if Yang Ming is releasing some shares and accepting several strong film companies, then the pressure on timely films will be extremely strong.
Perhaps the competition between Maoyan Movies and Timely Movies is, in the eyes of others, just commercial competition.
But the nature of these two Internet companies is too special, they completely rely on the film industry to survive, and if there is no strong film company behind it, it is impossible to talk about development.
"I very much agree that if you transfer a part of the shares of Timely Films, you can exchange a large amount of cash back. At this time, He Xinghan preemptively said that he was completely attracted by the 400 million, such a large amount of money, even if it was Victory Pictures, it was very tempting.
Hearing He Xinghan's words, Bai Chongshi couldn't help but feel irritable in his heart, and he couldn't wait to give this guy a slap.
When is it, I still care about money, to put it mildly, even if the film is willing to transfer shares in time, it needs someone to take over.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his face changed, and he blurted out: "32.5 billion!"
When Xiao Bufan heard this number, he was a little puzzled why Bai Chongshi mentioned this at this time, but he quickly realized something, and his face couldn't help but become ugly.
Now with Yang Ming's 32.5 billion cash in hand, the outside world will definitely not be as optimistic about timely movies as before.
Even if a company wants to buy it, it is estimated that the price will be very low.
The facts are as Bai Chongshi and Xiao Bufan predicted.
On the second day after Tianxia Pictures spent 400 million yuan to acquire 5% of the shares of Maoyan Film and became one of its shareholders, Timely Film also released news to the outside world to seek partners.
But no company responded immediately and was waiting and watching.
There are also one or two companies that offer, but the price is enough to make Xiao Bufan and Bai Chongshi grit their teeth, eager to stab each other to death, the price of cabbage is more than the price of cabbage.
