Chapter 303: The Lion's Mouth Opens
November 7th.
Dongzhimen, Hengyu International Cinema.
"Director Fang, as a new billionaire, will you turn to behind-the-scenes management in the future and not participate in the field of front-line shooting?"
"Absolutely not, wealth only represents the improvement of the material standard of life, and hobbies and careers are the long-term spiritual food."
"As long as the audience likes to watch my films, I will shoot until I am forty or fifty years old!"
Facing Tengxun's reporter's question, Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and said with the usual tone of being interviewed.
The reporter seemed to know that he would say this, and did not show a look of surprise.
It's all foxes, who can tell the truth.
I was even filmed until I was fifty years old, and I didn't believe in ghosts.
The reporter on Sina Weibo was a man in his thirties, who squeezed away Teng Xun's peers, raised the microphone and asked: "Director Fang, did the filming of "The Great Wall" go well, can you meet the public this year?" ”
"The filming process is quite smooth, the film has entered the post-production stage, and it is expected to be released during the Spring Festival, and I hope you will support it at that time."
The two opening remarks were asked, and the reporter was no longer reserved, and a rush of brains came over
"Director Fang, what do you think of Director Lu Chuan's new film?"
"Director Lu Chuan said that his new movie "Seven Star Lu King" will be a masterpiece that surpasses "Looking for the Dragon"!"
"Director Fang, what do you think about Hengyu's artist Zeng Li's pregnancy?"
"There is gossip that the object of Zeng Li is a mysterious rich man, do you recognize Fang Dao?"
"Director Fang, what do you think of "Cold War", which premiered today, is it possible to break the box office record of "Drug War"?"
One after another buried questions were thrown out of the reporter's mouth, and Fang Ziheng didn't answer, and he didn't answer either.
It's like the problem of getting pregnant!
What could he think?
It is impossible to tell a reporter that his ideas have long been put into action.
The child's father is him!
and Lu Chuan said that "Seven Star Lu King" will surpass "Looking for the Dragon" and become a masterpiece of fantasy movies.
This kind of remark looks like a porcelain encounter scene specially made by Ali and Lu Chuan.
If he really choked back, he happened to fall into the other party's arms and sent a wave of heat to "Seven Star Lu King".
Fang Ziheng said that he was not fooled, and resolutely did not give Lu Chuan a chance to touch porcelain.
He glanced at the guests who entered the venue behind the reporter, moved his steps to the steps, and laughed: ""Cold War" is a rare movie, whether it is the innovation of the theme or the cast, it can be called the best Hong Kong Island police film in the past ten years.
I believe that with the promotion and distribution of Hengyu Media, "Cold War" will definitely be able to move forward and leave a strong mark on this year's Chinese New Year! ”
Skipping the first two questions, Fang Ziheng caught "Cold War" and blew it, and after blowing, he turned around and walked directly into the studio.
Leave a bunch of resentful and unfinished reporters!
Large Screening Room No. 1.
Jiang Zhiqiang, the co-producer of the film in the Song Dynasty and Anle Film and Television of Yindu Organization, was greeting the guests at the door with a smile on his face.
Next to the two, there are also two slender Hong Kong Island female stars in evening dresses.
Yang Caini who played the movie Liang Ziwei.
Wen Yongshan, who plays the role of a barrister's assistant.
When Fang Ziheng passed, Wen Yongshan's eyes lit up, and he pulled Jiang Zhiqiang and reminded: "Mr. Jiang, Director Fang is here." ”
"Oh"
Jiang Zhiqiang immediately looked over, took a few steps forward and bowed his hand: "Haha, Fang Dong is finally here, tonight is Hengyu's home field, if you don't come, Song Dong and I have no bottom in our hearts!" ”
"Mr. Jiang is modest, Hengyu is just providing a platform, and you and Song Dong are the producers of "Cold War"."
Fang Ziheng shook hands with Jiang Zhiqiang, and smiled at Song Dynasty: "Song Dong, how about "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" with a 9% distribution fee, and the Asian region is fully distributed by Yindu Institution?" ”
"No problem, as long as Fang Dong speaks, everything is easy to say!"
The Song Dynasty's smile did not decrease, and he responded in one bite, but in his heart he scolded Fang Ziheng for not being interesting enough.
Nima
Hengyu released "Cold War", with a minimum distribution fee of 12%, and also signed a gambling agreement, with the box office rising to 16% from more than 500 million to 16%, and 18% to more than 600 million.
Lunyindu issued "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and the issuance fee was only 9%, which was nearly double the difference between the two.
Song Dynasty was very unhappy, but there was no way to do it.
Not to mention that "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has proven its box office performance in the mainland market, even Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media are not what they used to be.
Billionaires are not something that anyone can handle.
The development of Hengyu Media is a growth rate every year.
He and Jiang Zhiqiang left Bona and handed over "Cold War" to Hengyu for distribution, just because they were optimistic about Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media and wanted to deepen the friendship between the two sides.
At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang led Yang Caini and Wen Yongshan over, and said with a smile: "Director Fang, these two are the leading actors of "Cold War", this one you should know, Yang Caini, this big beauty is named Wen Yongshan, and she is the most prominent actress in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the past two years. ”
"Hello Director Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The two female stars stepped forward and greeted Fang Ziheng respectfully.
Especially Wen Yongshan, a pair of Qiushui Yiren's eyes seem to be pure and lustful, lonely and melancholy, and the people who see it are angry, and they always give people a kind of rush to ravage me and hurt me.
Fang Ziheng was also teased, he forcibly suppressed the nameless fire in his heart, stretched out his hand and touched the two gently, and chuckled: "Hello two, I hope to see your wonderful performance in the movie later, and if there is a chance in the future, Hengyu Media will send an invitation to the two of them to cooperate." ”
"Thank you, Director Fang!"
Yang Caini's face was happy, and he was waiting for these words, and bowed slightly to thank him.
As for taking down Fang Ziheng and climbing into his bed to become a wealthy man, she has self-knowledge, so she can only think about it in her heart.
She often watches entertainment gossip in the mainland, and knows that the new billionaire and international director in front of her is currently dating Liu Qianqian, who has the 'No. 1 actress in the mainland'.
She is not a little girl, so she is almost old, so she decided to recommend herself to the pillow.
Yang Caini quickly retreated, leaving Wen Yongshan alone.
Wen Yong's eyes were shining, and Ying Ying looked at her and said softly: "Director Fang, the premiere hasn't started yet, why don't you go to the lounge and sit for a while?" ”
As she spoke, she took the initiative to step forward, put her hands around his arm, and leaned forward.
Fang Ziheng: "."
He's hooked up, isn't he?
Should I refuse?
Fang Ziheng muttered in his heart, and on the surface, he nodded to Song Dynasty and Jiang Zhiqiang, and walked into the screening hall with the ambiguous smiles of the two.
Along the way, many people cast their attention on them.
Fortunately, the reporters had not yet come in, except for the guests who arrived in advance, only a small number of audience members sat on chairs and whispered.
Fang Ziheng's steps were relaxed, and while nodding with the people who came to greet him, he had nothing to say: "Miss Wen, are you familiar with Yang Ying?" ”
"Yang Ying, Director Fang is talking about baby, I am good friends with her, and we used to go on dates and shopping together on Hong Kong Island."
Wen Yongshan smiled slightly, clenched his hands and said.
Immediately, her eyebrows expanded, revealing a look of envy, and she sighed: "Baby's changes are so great, career and love are both harvested, and many former friends have talked about her for a long time and are happy for her." ”
Glad?
Perhaps!
Since Yang Ying and Sect Leader Huang were together, their resources have skyrocketed, and they have become the object of praise in the second year after joining Huayi.
This year, Sect Leader Huang personally called Fang Ziheng and asked for a seat for Yang Ying as the main member of the second season of "Run, Brother".
With the broadcast of the second running man, Yang Ying's popularity soared, once surpassing Da Mimi, Song Yi and others, and was regarded as the new 'national goddess' by the good news media.
As a good friend in the past, Wen Yongshan may have been happy for Yang Ying, but more envy in his heart.
However, Yang Ying in the previous life, except for her acting skills, she reported negative news about finding a safe baby for the crew, everything else was fine.
For some former friends in the Hong Kong Island area, there is a lot of help.
Not to mention anything else, Xiong Dailing, who entered the film and television industry with his sister-in-law of the Heavenly King, was quite taken care of by Yang Ying.
appeared on "Run, Brother" three times, fully expanding its popularity.
Fang Ziheng smiled and said nothing, recalling some interesting things in the entertainment industry in his previous life.
Wen Yongshan in front of him, there were no scandals in his last life, he got married early, polished his acting skills in many Hong Kong films, and finally relied on his good acting skills to become a small hit in a spy war drama and successfully entered the mainland film and television circle.
When he came to the lounge, Fang Ziheng withdrew his hand from Wen Yongshan's arms and looked at several 'friends' in the lounge with a smile on his face.
"Three, how are you doing?"
The 'friends' in the lounge are none other than the three heads of Alibaba Pictures, who have eaten 20% of the investment share of "Cold War".
Zhang Wall, Gu Yong, Zhang Wei.
As soon as the three of them saw Fang Ziheng, their faces changed slightly, and they quickly managed their expressions.
Gu Yong glanced at Wen Yongshan, a fire of desire sparked in his heart, and he said with full anger: "Hongfu, who dragged Fang Dong, Ali Pictures and Youku have been having a good time recently!" ”
After Ali Pictures was upgraded, it frequently reported the project "Seven Star Lu King" on the Internet.
Invest 300 million soft girl coins today, invite all the big coffee guests tomorrow, and want to create a super fantasy adventure blockbuster the day after tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the east wind of "Looking for the Dragon", the popularity of "Seven Star Lu King" rose gradually, which not only allowed Lu Chuan to eliminate last year's bad luck, but also dragged down Youku's falling stock price in one fell swoop.
"Seven Star Lu Wang", a key project to be built by Alibaba Pictures next year, is invested by Youku Video, China Film Group, and Hengdian Film and Television Group in addition to the group.
It is Zhang Wall's idea to pull China Film and Hengdian Film and Television Group into the game, and Ali Pictures will soon be upgraded to the same name, and it is difficult to produce and distribute a blockbuster with an investment of more than 300 million yuan alone, and foreign aid must be invited.
Zhang Wei and Gu Yong had a lot of complaints about this matter at first, thinking that Ali didn't need to divide the cake, and he could eat it alone.
In the end, Zhang Wall took Hengyu Media as an example to suppress the following group of executives.
In Zhang Wall's heart, pulling Zhongying and Hengdian Film and Television into the game is not to share the cake, but to share the risk.
He has always been skeptical about whether Lu Chuan can shoot "Seven Star Lu King" well, and he does not believe that Alibaba Pictures' distribution ability can promote the film to the whole country.
With the help of China Film and Hengdian Film and Television Group, at least the risk can be reduced and the absolute publicity power will be brought to the film after it is released.
Fang Ziheng is unaware of the internal affairs of Ali Pictures, and now he is not afraid of Ali when he first debuted a few years ago.
He sat down with Wen Yongshan, looked at Zhang Wall and took the lead in asking, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that Ali Pictures is going to upgrade again and set up a big entertainment business group?" ”
"Yes, the headquarters is still in preparation."
Zhang Wall smiled faintly, and was not afraid of the news being revealed, so he opened the topic head-on.
When Zhang Wei heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of the unpleasant incident that happened a few days ago.
Five days ago, Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba, led a team to UC for negotiations.
Under the guidance of Zhang Wei, Ali's strategic investment department was personally led by the vice president of the department to talk to Fang Ziheng about the acquisition of UC shares.
Zhang Wei remembered that at that time, several people were sitting in Hengyu's luxurious conference room, and Chen Jun, vice president of the strategic investment department, with great sincerity, offered a valuation of 5 billion US dollars to UC, and wanted to win 20% of Hengyu's shares with 1 billion US dollars.
1 billion US dollars!
This is simply sky-high, according to UC's third-quarter financial report, Hengyu successfully acquired 20% of UC's shares at the end of June for 200 million US dollars.
A little change of hands, it is 800 million US dollars, 6 billion soft sister coins of profit.
At that time, whether it was Zhang Wei himself, Chen Jun and Ali who led the team, they all felt that they had settled on Hengyu Media.
But it's not soft!
Fang Ziheng categorically rejected Chen Jun's offer and didn't buy it at all.
He also talked about it, saying that UC will definitely be valued at more than 5 billion US dollars in a year and a half, and it will not be worth selling it now.
After a negotiation, the two sides broke up unhappily.
Chen Jun was furious on the way back, scolded Fang Ziheng for not knowing how to lift, and threatened to make Hengyu Media look good sooner or later.
Chen Jun's words, Zhang Wei naturally didn't believe it.
Not to mention that Chen Jun is only the vice president of Alibaba's strategic investment department, or Cai Chongxin, the person in charge, he can't help Fang Ziheng.
Zhang Wei just didn't expect that Fang Ziheng, the new billionaire, was not only as hard as ever, but also much more ambitious, and the profit of 800 million US dollars was not eye-catching.
Thinking of this, Zhang slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, raised his eyes and asked, "Dong Fang, what do you think about UC's shares?" ”
"If you can, can you quote Ali a price?"
Zhang Wei used the honorific title, no matter what, the youngest billionaire in China in front of him won the respect of these professional workers.
Fang Ziheng's eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at it, and looked at Zhang Wei's sincere eyes.
UC Browser is an extremely important part of Alibaba's follow-up strategic plan.
Whether it is consuming traffic, pushing UC's customers to the Taobao platform, or integrating a series of entertainment businesses such as Alibaba Pictures Group, Youku Video, and Ali Literature to establish a large entertainment group, it is very important.
If she can say that Fang Ziheng has made a great contribution to Ali, Zhang Wei believes that her career path will be broader.
She is now an executive of Alibaba's subsidiary, and in the future, why can't she become an executive at Alibaba's headquarters.
However, Fang Ziheng's next words completely extinguished Zhang Wei's reverie that had just risen.
"20 billion!"
"In my heart, 20% of UC's shares are worth at least 20 billion, and there is no need to talk about anything lower than this price!"
An indifferent voice sounded in the lounge, like a bombshell knocking everyone to the ground.
Everyone looked at Fang Ziheng in a daze, with shocked expressions and a look of disbelief.
Especially Wen Yongshan next to him, his pupils were dilated and his breathing was short, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him.
………
This man is really so attractive!
He must be taken down!
Winning him, even if he can't be the main room, is enough to pave the way for my career and achieve a counterattack in life.
At this moment, Wen Yongshan, who originally only had a little ambiguous thoughts, constantly stimulated the feelings of struggle in his heart.
Yang Ying has the Yellow Sect Master!
Why can't I be a great director!
