Chapter 231: Film and Television Revival Plan
Since the dinner had not yet started, Gu Cheng was invited by this group of elders to the huge sofa in the VIP area.
Although everyone present had a lot of famous elders in the capital circle of Duhuaguo, they all subconsciously left the main sofa to Gu Cheng, like Chu Man, among this group of elders, they didn't even have the qualifications to sit.
But despite this, Chu Man still did not slack off at all, and listened attentively to the conversation of Gu Cheng and the others...
"Gu Dong, I heard that you did the planning of this [Douyin National Beauty Pageant]?"
He Chuan, the director of Tomato Satellite TV, is about fifty or sixty years old, although he is born in a physique, he does not have the slightest intention of putting on a show, and he took the lead in asking Gu Cheng with a gentle face.
Gu Cheng listened to He Chuan's question, subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yiming, and found that he winked at him with a smile, and knew that it was Zhang Yiming who was wearing a high hat for himself outside, and then responded with a smile: "I just gave a proposal, and it is the credit of the company's planning and operation." ”
"Gu Dong is modest, you may not know that your byte's [Douyin National Beauty Pageant] has been selected as one of the top ten classic marketing examples in the country in 2016, and in two months, the number of users has exceeded 100 million, which has comprehensively surpassed the major domestic short video platforms, and a few days ago, Sequoia Capital has called on Zhang Dong to open a pre-IPO round of financing...
Announced a valuation of $32 billion...
The market value has tripled in two months! When the IPO round of financing is re-listed, it is likely to rise several times, and Gu Dong and Zhang Dong may both be included in the global Forbes rich list.
And before I came, Mr. Dies, the first president of our group, asked me to ask Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhang if they would like to let our physical manufacturing company taste the sweetness of Huaguo's Internet enterprises. ”
Andrea Jeff said in pure Chinese flattery.
This group of capital bosses is talking about it, all of them are centered on Gu Cheng...
It seems that the chairman of Byte Leap is not Zhang Yiming, but Gu Cheng.
But Zhang Yiming was still smiling and didn't care at all.
The total cost of this [National Beauty Pageant] seems to be very high, reaching 700 million, but in fact?
Mengniu became the exclusive title of the beauty contest, with a naming fee of up to 150 million, and Tomato Satellite TV took over the broadcast rights of the finals, with a broadcast fee of up to 65 million alone, like the German Volkswagen has become a strategic partner of Douyin APP in the negotiation of nearly a month, and signed a 3-year advertising push fee of 500 million.
In other words, after a beauty pageant, not only did not there be a loss, but a small profit...
And the results are obvious, as evidenced by Sequoia Capital's $32 billion valuation...
And the most important point is the political cost that Gu Cheng and Lin Xiao gave to Byte Jump!
As long as there are two of them for a day, Douyin will not fall off the altar!
Not to mention that he just respects Gu Cheng in his words, even if Gu Cheng initiates a board meeting now and wants to serve as the chairman of Byte Leap, Zhang Yiming will not even blink his eyes, and immediately abdicate.
After all, who can't get along with money?
After being polite with this group of big bosses for a long time, Xu Tongtong, who had been sitting next to him well-behaved, couldn't sit still, and began to look around, Gu Cheng also stood up and smiled when he saw this: "Dong Zhang, I'm here to have a meal today, the specific details of the finals are up to you to decide and negotiate with the bosses, my friend is still over there, I'll go over and say hello, and I'll leave it to you here." ”
Everyone was not the slightest dissatisfied with Gu Cheng's provocative behavior, but they all got up and said with a smile: "Gu Dong is a young man, and he has no common language with us old guys, so he understands and understands. ”
Gu Cheng didn't bother to continue to explain politely, just smiled and nodded to them, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Principal Wang.
Looking at Gu Cheng's back gradually drifting away, He Chuan, who was in the system and had lived in Shanghai for a long time, sighed slightly: "Gu Lao retreated into the background, and the resources built for decades should have been slowly handed over to Gu Dong, and the Shanghai government led by Chief Qiao has not been estranged from the Chuangsheng Group because of Gu Lao's retirement, but has cooperated more closely.
It is estimated that in a few years, the Shanghai business district may be centered on him.
Zhang Dong is lucky, with Gu Dong in charge of the general direction, the development of Byte Leap can be said to be smooth all the way. ”
Zhang Yiming smiled and didn't make a sound, but turned his head to Chu Man and said, "Consultant Chu, you just go and follow Gu Dong, Gu Cheng will meet any needs as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about it on my side." ”
"Okay Zhang Dong."
After speaking, Chu Man twisted Yingying's slender waist and followed Gu Cheng's back.
-----------------
When he came to the area where this group of stars was located, and saw Principal Wang who was sitting in front of Yang Cheng with a smile on his face, Gu Cheng walked up: "What are you happy talking about?" Tell me about it? ”
Hearing this voice, Yang Function, Huang Bo, Zhang Yixing and others hurriedly got up.
"Gu Dong."
"Gu Dong."
Listening to their greetings, Gu Cheng just casually pressed his hand to signal, and the warm smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Finished bragging with them?"
Principal Wang and Gu Cheng were not polite, moved their buttocks with a smile, and motioned for Gu Cheng to sit beside him.
"What can you brag about with them? It's just a few words. ”
Listening to the casual conversation between the two, this group of stars couldn't help but feel a little envy in their hearts.
Being able to talk and laugh with that group of elders can be said to be their lifelong pursuit, but Gu Cheng is face is full of impatience.
Just when the scene seemed a little restrained because Gu Cheng had joined this chat circle, Xu Tongtong, who had been following Gu Cheng, stared at Yang Cheng's face and pondered for a few seconds, and then said in surprise: "Are you Luo Qingchuan?!" ”
Yang Function listened to Xu Tongtong's inquiry, obviously stunned.
Gu Cheng looked at Xu Tongtong with an excited look, and also turned his head to look at Yang Function, then touched her head with a smile and said: "Her name is Yang Function, not Luo Qingchuan, she is an actor, and Luo Qingchuan is a role she plays." ”
"Uh-huh! I know, but I don't know her name..."
Gu Cheng glanced at Yang Function, turned his head again and said softly, "It's good if you call her Sister Mi Mi." ”
"Sister Mi Mi?"
Yang also woke up from his stunned...
She knew that the doll girl in front of her was not one of her fans...
Putting aside the identity of Gu Cheng's sister, the identity of a European princess alone is far beyond herself, and in front of her, she can't put on a top stand in China at all, and she is quite restrained: "Hello Princess Elsa, my name is Yang Function." ”
In the end, it was a child, Xu Tongtong waved his hand and said, "My Chinese name is Xu Tongtong, you can call me Xu Tongtong." ”
Seeing this, Gu Cheng also smiled and said to Xu Tongtong: "Do you need to let these people play with you?" ”
Xu Tongtong's big eyes immediately flashed when he heard this: "Is it okay?" ”
Gu Cheng smiled, and then said to this group of stars: "My sister admires you very much, I wonder if you can take some time to chat with her?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Wei hurriedly took the lead and said: "Gu Dong, you are serious, I also think that Sister Tong Tong is very cute, and it is also my honor to meet her." ”
can mix to such a point in the entertainment industry, every one of them is a human spirit.
In less than a second after Yang Cheng replied to Gu Cheng, he reacted, and they all stepped forward to greet Xu Tongtong with a smile.
Looking at Xu Tongtong, who had a good contact with this group of stars, Gu Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat next to Principal Wang.
"Where did you get a sister again?"
"Cousin."
"What's the matter with the princess?"
"My aunt is the youngest daughter of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, what do you think my cousin should be?"
Principal Wang only shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up.
He didn't feel strange at all that Gu Cheng occasionally exposed a background, in short, he was used to it...
Even if it suddenly revealed that Gu Cheng had something to do with the current Grand Chief, he would take it for granted.
After a brief chat, Principal Wang seemed to have thought of something, called out to Yang Function, and then looked at Yang Function who came over, and said: "I have introduced you to someone, and I will not mix it up if you two want to talk about it, and go to the bathroom." ”
After speaking, he got up and winked at Gu Cheng, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Give face." ”
Looking at his mysterious expression, Gu Cheng was also a little helpless, as the Discipline Inspection Commission of the entertainment industry, if he felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, Principal Wang was mercilessly and directly bombarded regardless of gender...
But it's very exceptional for this bad movie queen Da Mi Mi...
even shouted on Weibo, "If you are divorced, I will definitely marry you"...
In his previous life, Gu Cheng was just eating melons on Weibo, thinking it was a joke between rich people, but now it seems that this is not the case...
However, since Principal Wang had spoken, Gu Cheng was also willing to give him some face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, hello." ”
Yang Function also made a flattered expression, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu's name is good, I don't dare to bear the title of Mr. Yang." ”
Gu Cheng didn't bother with her, but asked, "The principal said that you have something to look for me?" ”
Yang Cheng hesitated, didn't speak for a long time, and Gu Cheng also frowned and said, "Miss Yang might as well say it directly, I like to go straight up." ”
Listening to Gu Cheng's words, Yang Function also cleaned up his mood and asked softly: "I heard that a week ago, Gu Dong, your Gray Rhino Capital joined forces with four major film and television production companies to engage in a cooperation, I don't know if I have a chance to participate?" ”
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It's spread so fast?" ”
Yang is right.
After obtaining 70 billion funds, Gu Cheng had already laid the foundation for the main task of the level 3 system.
Although the domestic entertainment industry occupies a large market of 1.4 billion people, at the Asian level alone, there are two countries that can compete with China head-on, let alone Western countries.
Gu Cheng planned to start directly from the West at first, but after several considerations, adhering to the concept that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, he still plans to spend a little money to make a foreshadowing.
But I didn't expect that in less than a week, my plan had already been spread.
However, he never intended to hide it from beginning to end, so he generously said to Yang Function: "Then do you know what the cooperation project of our five companies is?" ”
Yang shook his head.
If he can get a little rumor, it's already good, how can he know the specific plan?
"Because of the reason in charge of the entertainment department, the first step of the cooperation has been successfully negotiated, and it is estimated that it will be announced soon, so I will tell you about it in advance."
As soon as the words fell, the ears of Huang Bo, Sun Honglei and others, who had been eavesdropping, instantly pricked up.
"This plan is called the [Film and Television Revival Plan], which is supervised by the entertainment department, and is a plan jointly invested and cooperated by Gray Rhino Capital, Huayi Entertainment, Hong Kong Island Emperor Entertainment, Media Asia Group, and Shanghai Opera Group.
The general direction of the plan is to help more excellent works that lack investment to be made available to the public, led by our five companies.
You can understand it as a national film and television subsidy, but the only difference is that our [Film and Television Revival Plan] is not a subsidy, but an investment.
The initial cooperation fund of the project is 20 billion.
Gray Rhino Capital occupies 60% of the share, contributing 10 billion, and the remaining four film and television groups each invested 2.5 billion, accounting for 10%.
Just now, Miss Yang asked if your company could participate, and my answer was of course yes, after all, this [Film and Television Revival Plan] covers the entire film and television entertainment industry in China, and 20 billion is far from enough, so naturally the more the better.
If Miss Yang can come up with 2.5 billion, I will make the decision and give you 10% of the share, what do you think? ”
After Gu Cheng finished speaking, the originally lively atmosphere instantly fell silent...
Yang Function was even more full of wry smiles...
He knew that it was impossible for Gu Cheng to invest in the film and television industry, and if he could get involved, he would probably make a lot of money...
But after listening to Gu Cheng's investment base share, she completely gave up this idea...
Not to mention 2.5 billion, in the gambling agreement with Shangshi Pictures, she has not completed it until now that she has earned 310 million in three years...
2.5 billion, she needs to maintain her current work intensity, and work without eating or drinking for more than 20 years to earn enough...
It's no wonder that the cooperation this time is Huayi, Emperor, Media Asia, Shanghai Film and other old groups, ordinary film and television companies, and they don't even have the qualifications to get involved...
Thinking of this, Yang Function also smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry Gu Dong, I bothered me." ”
"I'm not interested in this cooperation, I don't know if there is a cooperation Miss Yang is interested."
Hearing Gu Cheng speak again, Yang Cheng's frustrated mood was instantly swept away, she knew that an elder of Gu Cheng's level, with an investment of less than "100 million", would basically not speak, even if it was the smallest cooperation in Gu Cheng's eyes, it was not something she could despise.
"Gu Dong, you say."
"I heard that Miss Yang's Jiaxing Media is about to expire because of the VAM agreement with Shangshi Pictures, right?"
"That's right, at present, more than 80% of the agreement profits have been completed, and when my new drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is released, I should be able to complete the gambling in advance."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Cheng with a puzzled face.
She didn't know what Gu Cheng meant by mentioning his VAM agreement at this time...
But Gu Cheng's next words were like a thunderclap, completely exploding in Yang Cheng's ears.
"I heard that you gave Shangshi Pictures 20% of the stock price for 300 million, right?
Due to the lack of industry qualifications, Gray Rhino Capital needs to acquire a film and television and brokerage company with complete qualifications in the industry to act as the face of Gray Rhino Capital in the industry, and I think Miss Yang's Jiaxing Media is very good.
I won't have any gambling agreement with you, 550 million yuan, to acquire 51% of your shares in Jiaxing Media.
If the cooperation is successful, Jiaxing Media will participate in this [Film and Television Revival Plan] and have the right of first refusal. ”
For a while, envious expressions rose from the faces of Huang Bo, Zhang Yixing and others.
Yang Function has worked hard for three years, but he has not completed the leap of capital, but once he accepts this condition, he will transform himself and instantly become the hot head capital in the entertainment industry!
