"Father, do you believe him?"

Taiwan Island, Chen family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xiangdong, who respected his father's order and personally sent Mai Xiaoyu away, raised his doubts after returning to the study.

Mai Xiaoyu's visit to the Chen family on Taiwan Island this time is the same as the purpose of the previous meeting with Yang Gongzi of the Yang family in Xiangjiang, that is, to take advantage of the good opportunity of Qingtian's stock price plummeting due to the failure of the acquisition, and snipe Qingtian.

Old Man Chen didn't say anything, looked at his eldest son, and asked indifferently, "What do you think?"

"With the current market situation in the secondary market and the grievances between the two parties for many years, it is operable, and the profit margin is not small, but it is ......"

"Go on. ”

"I don't understand why he's coming to us. ”

Mai Xiaoyu's closest partner is the seven shareholders of Hualong Pictures, and the interests of all parties are closely linked, and Mengren is regarded as one of the spokespersons of the interests of the other seven.

It was he who took the lead and pulled the other seven to join forces to win the Tang Dynasty Hotel in the way of empty gloves and white wolves, earning more than a billion yuan for nothing, and then used the money to establish Hualong Pictures in the United States.

In the early days of Hualong Pictures in the United States, it was very low-key. Until the release of "Twilight", it earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and the rich returns of the audio-visual product market and peripheral products at a cost of tens of millions of dollars, thus showing its prominence.

Immediately after his operation, Hualong Pictures won a series of battles.

Co-invested with Disney in the 3D fantasy blockbusters "The Wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland".

The former was released this summer, with a global box office of more than $600 million, and the audio-visual market can be expected to make profits, and it also uses Disney's strong brand to share the revenue of peripheral products. Disney is eager to create "The Wizard of Wonderland 2", and Warner is also preparing to develop the "Oz Country" series of movies, which is enough to prove the huge profit margins in it.

The latter will be released next year, except for the criticism of the heroine, other aspects are generally optimistic about people inside and outside the industry.

At the Cannes Film Festival this summer, Ning Shirong was overshadowed, which led to the failure of Qingtian's acquisition plan. However, as soon as Qingtian withdrew from the acquisition, Hualong Pictures made up for the gap and successfully took over the acquisition of a certain theater chain in the United States, saving a lot of early and mid-term costs.

There is also "Twilight 2", which will be released worldwide in November, as well as Mengren's layout in domestic film and television special effects, video websites, peripheral product development, etc., all in cooperation with various shareholders of Hualong Pictures.

Meng people have a close cooperative relationship with Naqi many times, why don't they come forward with Naqi, but look for Hailian?

Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure it out.

The old man nodded without comment: "Say the conclusion." ”

"I'm worried he's trying to use us as guns. ”

"Be a gunman?" the old man smiled, "do you think he is the kind of person who has the courage and is short-sighted?"

Meng Ren and Qingtian have a deep hatred like the sea, and they have been subjected to the difficult calculations of the Ning family in all aspects during their growth, and they have bumped into the present. It wasn't until it was branded as the spokesperson of the seven interests that it finally really gained a foothold.

And all of this is almost all the credit of Mai Xiaoyu. On the surface, it was his decision to sign artists, make film and television dramas, and invest abroad, but secretly, he also single-handedly resolved the Ning family's various off-market moves.

Putting aside Chen Qiaoen's relationship, with Mai Xiaoyu's cleverness, he would never use Hailian to deal with Qingtian and reap the benefits himself.

Because that would be tantamount to death.

I have a grudge against Qingtian, and if I offend Hailian, do you really think that the identity of the spokesperson for benefits is a gold medal for avoiding death?

"Then why?"

Chen Xiangdong admitted that what the old man said made sense, but he still couldn't understand Mai Xiaoyu's approach.

Since it is expected to make a lot of money by sniping Qingtian through the secondary market, there is no reason to come to the Chen family without notifying the other seven, right?

The old man sipped the tea, squinting his eyes as if reminiscing.

Chen Xiangdong poured tea and stood aside and didn't dare to disturb.

Ten minutes later, the old man spoke: "Xiangdong, do you remember that on the night of my 70th birthday, he played chess with me?"

Well?

Chen Xiangdong was stunned.

Of course he remembered it, but he never fully figured it out.

Afterwards, he consulted the old man, but the old man smiled and said nothing, and also discussed with Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xiangxi, but he couldn't understand it.

"I don't have any words on my biggest piece because I'm not sure what he's going to do. But now I am sure that the temptation of fame and fortune over the years has not made him forget his original intention. No matter how he changes, he is still the Mai Shouzheng of the last century, and he has not forgotten the hatred with the Ning family. And if you want to find justice from the Ning family, you must first uproot the big tree of Qingtian. ”

Chen Xiangdong gasped: "Father, are you saying that he wants to annex Qingtian?"

"There is no need to annex, as long as the controlling stake and kick the Ning family out of the power layer of the Qingtian Group, it is enough. ”

"That's impossible! How large the cute talent is, even if the stock price of Qingtian Group falls sharply, it is not something he can worry about. Moreover, the Ning family not only holds a large number of shares, but also has a huge network of contacts, how can it be as easy as he imagined to snatch the Ning family's controlling stake in Qingtian through the secondary market?"

"yes, it sounds like a fantasy, and that's what I couldn't figure out. But if you think about his personality and his way of doing things, that's the most reasonable explanation. ”

"If he really thinks so, he's crazy...... Could it be that he wants to take control of Qingtian by hitting Qingtian again and again, and finally controlling Qingtian?"

"I think he wants to finish his work and solve the Ning family at one time. ”

"It's absolutely impossible. Not to mention that he doesn't have enough capital, even if he does, Qingtian is not a lamb to be slaughtered. As long as the holdings are increased through the secondary market, or the private placement of shares to the persons acting in concert, the controlling stake can be successfully stabilized. ”

The old man smiled faintly: "If it were you who decided, would you choose to increase your holdings or private placement?"

"To increase your holdings, it is safest to hold the stock in your own hands. ”

"Then what else do you have to worry about? Xiangdong, sometimes you think about problems, and it is easy to complicate things. You remember, we are businessmen, except for the big issues of right and wrong, everything is based on profits. Since the Ning family is likely to increase their holdings, why don't we buy at a low price?"

"I see! I'll let the investment department focus on the stock of Qingtian tomorrow and choose the right low to enter the ......"

……

At the beginning of November, Mai Xiaoyu completed his lobbying work in Xiangjiang and Taiwan and returned to Yanjing.

He firmly believes that the two families will not miss this opportunity to make money, who will let him and Qing Tianning's family feud be as deep as the sea?

Secretly absorbing chips at a low level, waiting for him to hold more than 5% of the shares, officially declaring to the relevant departments, and raising a sign to acquire Qingtian Group, Qingtian's stock price will definitely rise all the way. For Hailian and Emperor, both have huge arbitrage space, what reason is not to participate?

It takes a long time to work, and it can't be achieved overnight.

So after returning to Yanjing, he put the matter aside for the time being, and found Lin Yiping and Wang Yuqi to watch the sample film of "Mao Liar".

The plot structure of the first season of "Mao Liar" is relatively simple, the plot is not complicated, and the post-production is not difficult, and the two executive directors Lin Yiping and Wang Yuqi have done a good job. Mai Xiaoyu spent a few days watching 20 episodes of "Mao Liar" repeatedly, pointed out a small number of problems, and asked them to revise them according to their own opinions.

The end of the day's work.

In the evening, Mak Xiaoyu came out of the gym and asked Ke Haoyi to drive him to the Forgotten Bar in Houhai.

In the past two years, the pace of cute people has been too big, the workload and work intensity have increased sharply, and mistakes will inevitably occur in all links. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoli presided over the overall situation and ensured the steady development of cute people as much as possible.

He was not idle, writing books, songs, drawing comics, and writing scripts were all routine. Dealing with troubles, maintaining relationships in all aspects, and participating in the production process of the first season of "Running Brothers" and big movies, directing "Mao Liar" and starring in "Step by Step", I didn't have the opportunity to be a shopkeeper.

There are fewer days to come to the Forgotten Bar.

He came a few times last year, and after the Spring Festival this year, he never came again, just talked to Wu Weiguo on a few phone calls.

Ke Haoyi was recommended by Wu Weiguo from the bar security guard, knew many people in the bar, and stayed outside to chat; Mai Xiaoyu was invited to the office by Wu Weiguo and chatted while drinking.

Thinking about Mai Shouzheng back then, and then looking at Mai Xiaoyu today, Wu Weiguo is more and more emotional. The white horse passed through the gap, and the changes were huge, which always made him feel unreal.

He pulled Mai Xiaoyu to drink a lot of wine and talk a lot, and finally joked about when Mai Xiaoyu would get married.

"When I kill the first evil, I will invite you to my wedding. ”

Wu Weiguo woke up instantly: "You haven't put it down yet?"

"Have you let go? Have you let go of the old bunch of fools?"

"But you're different!"

"yes, I'm having a successful career now. Not only do they have money and status, but they also have friends, all of whom are friends with money, power, and status, and they are qualified to play with the law, and they no longer have to be played with by others with the law as before. ”

Wu Weiguo trembled violently, and listened to Mai Xiaoyu continue: "Old Wu, you can contact those people before, right?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm going to make a movie.

"Movie?

"Nine Gates. ”

Nine Gates!

Wu Weiguo's mind buzzed, and then something in his body began to boil......

Leaving the Forgotten Bar, Wu Weiguo arranged for someone to drive Mai Xiaoyu home.

At home, Liu Tao had already taken a bath and was waiting for him with a mask.

"Where did you go, why did you drink so much?" Liu Tao took off his coat for him and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I sat down with Lao Wu, and finalized a group of actors by the way. ”

"What actor?"

"You'll know when you look back. Mai Xiaoyu hugged Liu Tao and kissed him passionately, "Next year, the year after tomorrow at the latest, I will marry you!"

Liu Tao stroked Mai Xiaoyu's cheek and stared at him: He and I are waiting for you to marry me. ”

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Mai Xiaoyu bent down and hugged Liu Tao in his arms: "When I was filming in Hengdian, you didn't visit my class, I will punish you." ”

"Didn't you punish you when you came back, and you punished you several times. ”

"One more penalty tonight. ”

As he spoke, Mai Xiaoyu hugged Liu Tao and was about to go back to the bedroom.

"Let's take a shower first. ”

"Wash together. ”

"I've washed it. ”

"Okay then, wait until I'm here to rub my back......"

In the wee hours of the morning, from the bathroom to the bedroom, after two fierce fights in quick succession, the storm finally subsided.

Liu Tao fell into Mai Xiaoyu's arms and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

"It's okay, it's just happy. ”

"Because of what?"

"I'm going to make a movie next year, can you make a cameo, I want your first kiss on the screen. ”

"What movie, what role are you going to give me a cameo?"

"Acting in your true colors, that is, you want to jump off the building, and I went to the scene where the hero on the roof of the building saved the beauty. ”

"You still mean that heroes save beauty, it's clear that you lied to me. ”

The old things were brought up again, Liu Tao was sweet in his heart, and hugged Mai Xiaoyu tightly.

Mai Xiaoyu caressed her smooth back, "Okay, okay, I lied to you at the time, I invited you to watch a movie as an atonement, okay?"

"Well, it's been a long time since we've seen a movie together. What movie to watch?"

"Twilight 2. ”

……

The production cost of "Twilight 2 New Moon" is 55 million, and the cute people invest 15 million, and on November 20, 09, it will be released simultaneously around the world, including Huaxia.

"Twilight 1" has a gratifying box office performance, exceeding $400 million worldwide. The producer, Hualong Pictures, and the domestic distributor, Hailian Cinemas, are full of expectations for the box office of the second part. After multiple operations, it has successfully achieved simultaneous release in China and other parts of the world.

Created by the original cast, the male and female protagonists became popular with the first part, and their salaries also rose from $600,000 and $2 million in the first part to $3 million and $4.5 million.

Christine, who earned $4.5 million, won the Best Actress Award at the 18th MTV Movie Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 11th Teen Choice Awards for "Twilight", which completely opened up the situation in Hollywood and won a lot of popularity around the world.

Christine, who is the most popular and valuable person in "Twilight", is still not a big star in Hollywood, and "Twilight 2 Crescent" still has no big stars and no big scenes...... To put it nicely, it's called a fantasy romance movie, but to put it badly, it's an old-fashioned story of a vampire's unruly love affair with a human.

However, no one expected that after its release on November 20, "Twilight 2" crushed Disney's popular 3D fantasy blockbuster "The Wizard of Wonderland" with an unstoppable momentum!

Before Liu Tao left Yanjing to catch up with the announcement, Mai Xiaoyu watched this movie with her in the couple's box in the theater.

Liu Tao's evaluation is: a bit naïve......

Mai Xiaoyu couldn't refute it, because he also felt the same way.

There are many voices who think this film is naïve and boring, but they can't stop the popularity of "Twilight 2".

On the first day of its release in North America, it earned $72.7 million, breaking last year's "The Dark Knight" of 67.2 million and setting a new box office record on the first day in North America.

The shocking box office of $140 million in three days over the weekend became the third highest-grossing film in North American history in the first week, only inferior to the 158 million of "The Dark Knight" and the 151 million of "Spider-Man 3".

In addition, the film's three-day premiere grossed more than $260 million at the global box office, which also made "The Wizard of Wonderland" unattainable.

"The more naïve, the more sensational!"

This phrase almost became the label of "Twilight".

You can ridicule the film with impunity, but you can't stop women, especially young female viewers, from following the Twilight series of movies!

Immature?

Someone loves to watch it!

Immature?

The box office is high, and it is global!

Immature?

The 3D blockbuster "The Wizard of Wonderland" can't turn over!

Disney has a kind of scolding impulse, regretting that it did not ask to participate in the investment in "Twilight 2".

People who don't like 3D technology always like to compare "New Moon" with "Magic Mirror", and praise "New Moon" to prove that 3D blockbusters are just a flash in the pan.

This situation continued until the global release of "Avatar......
