After the public screening of "The Endless Gardener" at the film festival, the reviews were certainly positive, and all kinds of praise took over the newspapers, but Daniel was skeptical about whether Chinese moviegoers really approved of the film - according to Li Yu's speech at the "Silver Star Forum", Chinese filmmakers on the one hand expect Hollywood to be this kind of pomp, but on the other hand, they don't necessarily look up to Hollywood in their hearts.

Yes, this will surprise the more than 1,000 people who were there at the time.

Li Yu mentioned this when he could use Feng Xiaogang's speech.

In his opinion, the fifth generation of Chinese directors has very high artistic attainments, whether it is "Red Sorghum" or "Farewell My Concubine", or Hong Kong literary film directors such as Wang Jiawei and Xu Anhua, they are supported by international awards. For Hollywood, a place known for its successful commercial film system, these directors may not be able to afford it in their hearts, despite the huge output value of the film industry, global influence, and the core position in the film industry, etc., these things make Chinese directors envious.

Daniel agrees that modern Chinese have a mixture of arrogance and inferiority in many areas, and movies are no exception. Therefore, just the evaluation of "The Immortal Gardener", which is an exhibited film, is only regarded as a unique politeness of Chinese.

The relationship between the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival reached the top, and Pan, a new acquaintance of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, specially called Daniel, hoping that he would come to the closing ceremony - because he should still be in Thailand at that time and had not returned to Los Angeles. But Daniel declined the invitation, and while visiting the refugee camps in Thailand, he returned to China for the closing ceremony of a major film festival, which was somewhat nondescript and could have attracted predictable criticism.

In fact, the Shanghai Film Festival is also a headache. At the opening ceremony, Daniel. Sandler, Rachel. Vichy, Liam. Hollywood superstars such as Neeson and Li Yu attended the ceremony, making the word "international" worthy of its name for the first time. But at the closing ceremony, all these people were gone, and the illusion that the officials had worked so hard to create was instantly beaten back to its original shape - if Daniel could stay in the scene. Of course, you can still leave a pair of pants to cover your shame for the Shanghai International Film Festival. Unfortunately, Daniel has no intention of being this little pants, and what the Shanghai International Film Festival needs to do is to find its niche, play into its increasingly strong market appeal, and be more open and confident - not to be flattering.

Daniel also did not accept the invitation of the film festival organizing committee to serve as the chairman of the next jury -- he did not accept the invitation of the three major European ones, but he accepted the invitation of the Shanghai International Film Festival, which is too flattering. Daniel has no plans to use his reputation to make a face for the Shanghai International Film Festival.

21st. Daniel flew from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Bangkok, Thailand, and thousands of people blocked the airport - this time everyone knows Daniel's itinerary, fans from all over the country, even Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia did not get the opportunity to meet their idols during the Shanghai International Film Festival, so most of them seized the opportunity to see off the plane.

This may be an experience of baptism for ordinary people in Shanghai.

Hundreds of police officers stood at the entrance of the airport with signs, T-shirts and dolls of various merchandise, and balloons holding names and avatars, mostly young girls. The road ahead is smooth.

Ordinary passengers walked through the middle of the crowd in horror, completely unaware of what was happening.

Liu Chiping, president of T News, happened to return to Shenzhen from Shanghai. I was fortunate enough to witness this scene.

"A leader is coming?" Liu Chiping asked the attaché in surprise that as a mega company with a market value of $10 billion in Hong Kong, they had a good grasp of this government information. This time, he didn't hear anything. Shanghai has been turbulent recently, and the rumors of the top leaders are boiling and surging. Liu Chiping knew. This time it's not necessarily a rumor.

However, even if the central leadership is to deal with major cases, it will not be this posture.

The entourage looked against the window and said, "Daniel Sandler, Daniel. Sandler. ”

"Huh? Yes. He is leaving China today. Liu Chiping reacted immediately, and when Raymond and Ma Huateng were talking, he was also there, and he knew a lot about this young superstar.

"It should be, such a big battle." The entourage shook his head, "I don't know why these little girls are crazy, this is the first time he has come to China." ”

"Tsk, it's not just the little girl who looks crazy when she sees him, many people who are older than you are almost crazy when they see him." Liu Chiping leaned back on his back, "Don't look at the fact that he just attended a film festival, he brought a large crowd, and he has come into contact with a lot of people in the past few days, us, Qiandu, Ali, Qihoo, NEW Lang, S Fox - people are wealthy." ”

"Are F2F and MB already profitable? Not to mention start-ups like LinkedIn and YouTube, which seem to be rich but shouldn't have much cash. ”

"MB has long been profitable, but after going public, it changed its strategy and re-focused on attracting users as its main purpose, so its profitability has declined, but it is definitely not a loss. F2F's profitability has always been strong, and it would have been a better social networking model that Daniel had created based on MB's experience. The most important thing is that banks and investment funds all over the world are now holding money waiting for them to take it, and they are also planning to reduce some of MB's shares and gradually give up their holdings. These are still the pieces we have learned, MGM, DD Pictures, as well as Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft's stock investment, are directly involved in the operation of Plutos, and outsiders don't know, rumors that they also have hedge funds, which are involved in crude oil and bulk goods. How deep the water behind it is is not something that outsiders can understand. If this young man is revealed to be the new richest man in the world one day, many people will not be surprised. ”

The entourage can only shake their heads and sigh a few words, people are incomparable, when he was 26 years old, he had just entered the T news, and he was still helping some old birds to do chores, serving tea and water to sweep the floor, etc., and the T news at that time did not have today's scale.

"Did Mr. Ma agree?"

Liu Chiping smiled and did not speak.

……

When Liu Chiping and his entourage were waiting in the VIP waiting hall, the earth-shattering sound outside could be transmitted inside, and everyone put down what they were doing and listened attentively.

"Here we are."

"Mr. Liu, what kind of person, such a big move."

It's normal for a few people in the VIP lounge to know each other, and some people arrive early - it's not uncommon for the plane to be late at this time. They didn't know that there were thousands of people gathered outside.

"Haha, Mr. Wang, there is an American strong dragon in Shanghai, haven't you heard?"

The person who asked the question is in real estate, with a huge net worth, and of course he knows the movements of Shanghai and Beijing, and he quickly understands it when he hears Liu Chiping say this.

"Daniel. Sandler? ”

"Apart from him, who else can make such a big move, and the Four Heavenly Kings can't do it, right?"

"Mr. Liu, you are outdated, the Four Heavenly Kings have long been gone, and now they are the most popular in the group of little girls in Xiangnantai." An executive who followed Mr. Wang said with a smile.

Shonan TV held a singing talent show last year, setting off an unprecedented whirlwind of terror, and even the United States was alarmed.

……

Soon, Daniel and his party entered the VIP hall to wait for the plane.

Liu was able to communicate directly with Daniel for the first time - Daniel was not directly involved in Plutos' operation in China. Therefore, except for the two CEOs and officials of Huaying and China Film, no one has directly interviewed Daniel. Liu Chiping got an unexpected opportunity.

However, what attracted Daniel's attention was not Liu Chiping of T News, but Mr. Wang, who was sitting on the side, Chairman W Da. But Wan is notoriously conservative, and in 2002 he began to take the company private, and now basically owns the majority of the group's stake – a piece of meat that investors want but can't.

"Raymond will transfer to South Africa, I personally communicated with them in Thailand, Nasby's wishes we know, if they insist, we hope that the T-news team can firmly support us - like them, we do not seek control of the company, we will not interfere with the team's decision-making, in addition, Plutos Investment's strong technical reserves, patent reserves and abundant cash flow in the Internet field will be used as a solid backing for T-News' further rapid development - the introduction of a relatively stronger shareholder, For the T-signal team, there are pros and cons. ”

Daniel probably repeated the conversation between Raymond and Mr. Ma.

South Africa's Nascopy Group and South Africa's ASBS Bank hold up to half of the shares of T News, making it the largest shareholder. Daniel's public market in Hong Kong is not enough to raise enough shares, so there are only two ways, one is to transfer NASCOPY and ASBS, and the other is to expand the shares of the T-Xun team and dilute the shares of the major shareholders - they can do this, because Nascopy explicitly gave up voting rights when it became a shareholder, so the T-news team has absolute control over the company.

Plutos' presence in Internet profits, patented technology reserves, and its strength in international markets outside of China are all the chips that T-com is looking forward to – bringing in Plutos to diversify the company's equity is also an established strategy. Although T-Xun has not yet implemented this plan because of the good cooperation between the two parties, Plutos intends to enter, of course, it will have to be considered separately.

……

The chance encounter in the departure hall is just an opportunity to express your will and sincerity, and the specific work still needs to be negotiated for many years.

Before the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, shrinking investments in North America and Europe and accelerating capital transfers to China was also Plutos's established strategy, and this will not change whether T-com accepts Plutos or not - even if it starts again, Daniel is confident that it will support an amazing number of market participants in China.
