Century Summit began to launch a tender offer for Golden Harvest on November 20, and the two-month tender offer expired on January 20, and the acquisition of Golden Harvest officially ended. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next day, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that as of 4 p.m. yesterday, Century Summit had successfully acquired 89.96% of Golden Harvest's shares, and according to the listing rules of Hong Kong, Century Summit needed to give back 14% of its shares to ensure 25% of the outstanding shares.
So far, Century Summit has completely completed the acquisition of Golden Harvest and become the first entertainment company to go public. Both Heung Kong Media and relevant people in the mainland predict that Century Summit will merge its high-quality assets into Golden Harvest next, and then complete the backdoor listing. There are even gossip media who have even thought of the name of the company, which is called the peak of the Golden Harvest Century.
However, at a press conference held on the 22nd, Qiu Yuanxu, general manager of Golden Harvest, denied the statement that Century Summit would be backdoor listed, saying that Golden Harvest would operate first, and Century Summit would not be backdoor listed.
At the press conference, Qiu Yuanxu announced three projects of Golden Harvest, the comedy "Crazy Travel" co-directed by Ning Hao and Zhou Xingchi, which was mainly filmed in France and co-produced by Golden Harvest, Qingying Studio and Europa Pictures, the action film "Redemption" directed by Ding Sheng, and the Xiangjiang police film "Wounded City" directed by Liu Weiqiang.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanxu announced that Golden Harvest will accelerate the pace of development of cinemas in the mainland, and Golden Harvest cinemas will appear in cities such as Beiping, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Suzhou this year and next, and Golden Harvest plans to open 50 cinemas in the mainland within five years.
After Golden Harvest announced a series of plans, the financial and entertainment media in Hong Kong were bullish on Golden Harvest's share price. Golden Harvest's plan also stimulated investor enthusiasm, and Golden Harvest's share price began to climb rapidly.
However, as the boss of Golden Harvest, Zhang Ran has never shown up, and since the Beijing circle issued a boycott, Zhang Ran has never appeared in the media, as if the world has evaporated.
In fact, Zhang Ran did not evaporate from the world, but the second round of statements at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was about to begin, and he was all about to revise the opening ceremony plan.
On January 26, the second round of bidding for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held in Kuangou, a suburb of Beiping, and the five teams that entered the second round made statements in turn according to the time period.
Zhang Ran's team was scheduled for the fifth presentation, and the time was half past four in the afternoon. Zhang Ran's team is still the four from the first round, Zhang Ran who is responsible for the presentation, Lin Ying and Bob Dickinson of the negative technical solution, and Jin Wei, the team leader.
Like last time, Zhang Ran and the others arrived at the location of the Olympic Organizing Committee half an hour ahead of schedule, and were arranged by the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee to wait in the lounge.
At 4:20, the staff came over to inform that it was Zhang Ran's turn to make a statement.
Zhang Ran and the others came out of the lounge and bumped into Zhang Yimou's team who had just finished their statement and came out of the conference room.
Zhang Yimou also saw Zhang Ran, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Zhang Ran, long time no see!"
Although Zhang Ran had a scolding war with Zhang Weiping not long ago, and was overshadowed by the news that Zhang Weiping had returned "Wuji", Zhang Weiping is Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Yimou is Zhang Yimou. He smiled and said, "Director Zhang, seeing that you are full of red face, you should have made a good statement!"
Zhang Yimou is really satisfied with his statement today, this time he did not let his partner Wang Chaoge do it for him, but personally explained to the big screen, their plan for every detail of the opening ceremony has been carefully designed, he feels that this time the bid should be won.
However, Zhang Yimou has never been a particularly flamboyant person, and said modestly: "It can only be said that it is so-so!" Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Ran and said: "Don't care what those people say." Sometimes, some young directors were very frustrated when they were scolded, and when they called me, I persuaded them: How many people do you say there are in the capital's literary and art circles? 3,000 or 5,000? Just like that, these people scolded you, and you are so depressed? I always persuade them like this. However, not to mention 35,000 people, in the capital's literary and artistic circles, if there are 350 people who scold you without stopping, you will be sentenced to death. ”
Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Yimou was talking about the Beijing circle, and asked, "Then how did you survive?"
Zhang Yimou condensed and said: "I know that there are so many thirty or fifty people competing with you, why do you think that the sky is about to fall? You feel that you are useless and that you are finished? These thirty or fifty people are a problem of mentality, and they also like to form gangs! Therefore, I don't believe in this at all, as long as you keep coming up with good works, they can't do anything about you." ”
Although Zhang Ran didn't take the joint boycott of the Beijing circle in his eyes, Zhang Yimou's words still warmed his heart: "Thank you Director Zhang, I am neither shameless nor lifeless, and I am not so easy to be defeated by them!"
After entering the conference room, Zhang Ran saw a row of leaders sitting across the conference table. The presentation was still presided over by Liu Qi, president of the Olympic Organizing Committee, but compared with the first round, several leaders from the Disabled Persons' Federation, the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Sports of China were added, and the lineup was even larger.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Zhang Ran, there are many leaders present today, I will introduce you to you!"
"This is the chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation. ”
"This is Liu Peng, director of the General Administration of Sports. ”
"This is Minister Liu Dezhong of the Ministry of Culture. ”
……
These are all big shots, Zhang Ran didn't dare to slack off, and greeted him very respectfully. And these people also looked at Zhang Ran with a smile and a little curiosity, this is Zhang Ran, really young enough.
The statements of the first four teams are good and bad, there are bright spots and shortcomings, but in general, they all have their own high skills, so the leaders are very much looking forward to Zhang Ran's plan.
The structure of Zhang Ran's program has not changed, it is still the three chapters of heaven, earth and people, and the program has not been adjusted much, the heavenly chapter is still about culture and civilization, and the three programs are still "Tai Chi", "Bronze", and "Ni Shang"; there are some changes in the ground chapter, which retains "Spring River Flower Moon Night" and "Sinan", and "The Bright Moon of the Great Wall" is replaced by "Flying Dream"; this program talks from Chang'e to ten thousand households, and then to Chinese astronauts going to heaven and fulfilling the flying dream of their ancestors; One Earth", but there have been many changes in the content, and it can even be said to be subversive.
In Zhang Ran's plan, starting from tracing the origin of the Chinese nation, there are Yellow River water, red kites, peonies in the Tang Dynasty, Yao Ming, Chinese kung fu and astronauts.
After listening to Zhang Ran's statement, Liu Qi and the leaders present all smiled. Deng Pufang said approvingly: "Before Comrade Liu Qi said that your plan is beyond imagination, it is really beyond imagination, it is a perfect collection of classical culture and modern technology!"
Next, Lin Ying began to make a technical statement, she made a detailed analysis and explanation of the various technologies required for the entire opening ceremony, and issued a variety of relevant data and experimental reports, which technically ensured the operability of the entire program.
When Lin Ying finished speaking, the leaders present all nodded in admiration, the whole plan is really feasible.
The time was almost six o'clock, and Liu Qi didn't mean to leave Zhang Ran for their dinner, and said with a smile: "We thank you for your team's work, and after today's statement, there will be 8 judges who will score your five teams respectively, and the scoring content will be refined into 22 items." The team with the highest score will be the winner. We will announce the results at the end of March, thank you!"
Coming out of the conference room, Lin Ying stretched out her hand to Zhang Ran: "I have seen many talented artists, you are not the most talented I have ever seen, but you are the hardest working I have ever seen." I have learned a lot working with you and hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future!"
Zhang Ran shook Lin Ying's hand and said: "I have also learned a lot from you, Chinese classical culture, modernist art, dance, music, etc., these are all great assets for my future creation, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate!"
From participating in the Olympic bidding to the present, Zhang Ran has not used all his strength, but has used 120 percent, or even 150 percent of his energy. No matter what the final result is, Zhang Ran can accept it calmly, and he really tried his best.
Of course, Zhang Ran still sincerely hopes that he can win!
In recent days, Zhang Ran has only slept three or four hours a day in order to bid for the plan, and he has been seriously deprived of sleep. After returning home, he fell asleep on the bed without saying a word.
The next morning, Zhang Ran woke up and opened the Internet to take a look, and found that the entire network was fried.
In the early hours of this morning, the Oscars announced their list of nominees, and Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress for "Memoirs of a Geisha". After this news came out, both the Internet and the media caused a sensation.
This is the first time that a Chinese actor has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress!
"Zhang Ziyi was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, no, I read it right?"
"It's really unexpected, Zhang Ziyi was really nominated?"
"Didn't you say that Zhang Ziyi's "Memoirs of a Geisha" was badly acted, and the United States was scolded?
"It's so awesome, Zhang Ziyi really got an Oscar nomination!"
Zhang Ziyi was really nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, along with Reese Witherspoon's "Walking with the Song", Judi Dench's "Lady Henderson's Tribute", Charlize Theron's "Northern Vice", and Felicity Hoffman's "Crossing America".
Zhang Ran was a little surprised, in the previous life, Zhang Ziyi received many nominations at the Oscar outpost with "Memoirs of a Geisha", including nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild, and the British and Austrian. Among them, the nomination of the Actors' Guild is the most valuable, and the nomination of the Actors' Guild is elected by the members of the Actors' Guild, which is equivalent to being recognized by the entire peers. With these nominations, the chances of being nominated for an Oscar are very high, so almost everyone thinks that Zhang Ziyi will create a myth of an Asian actress and get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
However, the reality is cruel, and Keira Knightley, who was not particularly optimistic before, successfully achieved a counterattack and squeezed out Zhang Ziyi to be nominated, which was the closest Chinese actor has come to an Oscar nomination.
I didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to really get nominated this time!
Zhang Ran thought about it and felt that the reason why history would be rewritten should be related to Zhang Ziyi's appearance in "Time and Space Warrior", "Time and Space Warrior" made Zhang Ziyi really famous in Hollywood, so that more Americans knew her;
With this Oscar nomination, Zhang Ziyi should be better mixed in Hollywood than in the previous life, but it is unlikely that anything will fundamentally change. The situation of discrimination against Asians in Hollywood will not change, and the roles given to Asians are almost all homogeneous vases such as kung fu masters and sexy beauties, and they will not be able to get ahead in Hollywood with such roles.
Zhang Ziyi didn't care about Zhang Ran's future, but her nomination helped Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran believed that the next negotiation between Rong Xinda and the two Bingbing would be much easier.
Sure enough, within two days, Zhang Ran received a call from Li Xiaowan: "Zhang Ran, Li Binbin and her sister Li Xue want to meet you and talk to you face-to-face, I don't know when you will be free?"
Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow night!" (To be continued.) )ad_950
