Chapter 219: Pony Galloping New Directors!

The filming process of "Falling in Love from Marriage" filmed by Cheng Yi and Zhou Yutong went quite smoothly, but the online drama "The Legendary Chen Qianqian" was not smooth, after all, Liu Yuning and Zhao Lusi had no previous acting experience.

Liu Yuning and Zhang Ruonan have worked together to shoot a micro-film of Cat's Tree Studio, and Zhao Lusi is really a pure newcomer.

When Bai Xiaolu Studio announced that Zhao Lusi would star in "The Legendary Chen Qianqian", Zhang Ruonan's fans complained for Zhang Ruonan, "Zhang Ruonan and Liu Yuning are both old men of Weimeng Media and joined Bai Xiaolu Studio together. The micro-movie starring the two of them is quite well received, why not let the two of them pair up? ”

Zhang Ruonan's debut in the second issue of "Longing for Life" was well received, she has a national first love face, and she is diligent and cute in the show. He Jiong praised Zhang Ruonan and Wu Lei as a pair of diligent sisters and brothers, and He Jiong and Liu Yiwei are parents.

In fact, the opinions of fans are trivial, and there are several brokerage companies that care about the opinions of fans, unless they are fans of traffic stars, such as Siba Media and Lehua Entertainment, they want fans to live. Lehua Entertainment relied on Han Geng in the first few years and Wang Yibo in the next few years, and this kind of company actually plans to go public, isn't this a proper way to circle money in the stock market?

However, Zhao Lusi's acting skills are not Zheng Wentong's most worried, Zhao Lusi's knowledge reserve is even more worrying, even some historical knowledge is not clear, the founding of the party and the founding of the country are not clear, Zheng Wentong is afraid that she will overturn the interview like Rainie Yang, so now in addition to acting classes, she also found a teacher to give her cultural lessons.

Zhao Lusi had a bitter face, she was not the material for studying, so she wanted to be an actor. She really didn't expect to leave school, and she actually had to take cultural classes, but she didn't dare to disobey the big boss's intentions.

However, in order to encourage her, the studio has already helped her contact the variety show of the second season of "Mars Intelligence Agency", and it just so happens that Zhao Lusi also knows Wang Han at home. Unlike Zhang Ruonan, Zhao Lusi's family conditions are good and she belongs to a small rich family. If you make a ranking according to the wealth of the original family, Zhao Lusi > Bai Xiaolu> Zhang Ruonan > Yang surpass.

Within a month of its release, the box office of "Passing by the World" exceeded 800 million, breaking the box office record of 786 million for "BJ Meets Seattle: The Only Love Letter", becoming the highest-grossing romance film in China.

Yanjing Pony Galloping held a celebration banquet in Yanjing to celebrate the main creators of the movie, but surprisingly the big boss Zheng Wentong did not attend the celebration banquet, only Chairman Zhong Lifang appeared at the celebration banquet, and many people had other meanings.

"Passing by Your World" has a box office of more than 800 million, a publicity cost of 40 million, a production cost of 10 million, and the salary of the leading actors is about 25 million, and this movie has created a net profit of about 200 million for Yanjing Pony Galloping.

Bai Xiaolu asked her boyfriend worriedly, "If you don't attend the celebration banquet, will Zhang Yibai think that you don't pay enough attention to him, Pony Galloping is now preparing to go public, if Zhang Yibai switches to other companies before the listing, it will be troublesome." ”

"Do you think that if I attend the celebration banquet, Zhang Yibai will not switch to other companies? It's like falling in love, where a girl takes the initiative to break up in the hope of being retained, and a boy mentions a breakup in the hope of being retained. ”

"During this time, several companies have been in contact with Zhang Yibai, including Guangguang Media and Huanxi Media. When Zhang Yibai contacted these companies, he did not shy away from me. ”

"Zhang Yibai is now waiting for the price to sell, he wants to take advantage of the box office to sell and negotiate with me about the conditions. But it's a pity that "Passing by Your World" is his highlight moment, it's going to rain and the mother is going to get married, everyone is getting together and dispersed. Zheng Wentong said.

When Yanjing Pony Galloping subscribed for shares internally, "Passing by Your World" happened to be released. Zhang Yibai made two requests to the company:

First, his next film will participate in the investment, in addition to the director's salary, he hopes to be able to get box office dividends.

Second, in this internal subscription, he hopes to buy at least 1 million shares of Pony Galloping at an internal subscription price of 25 yuan.

When Zhong Lifang conveyed Zhang Yibai's two requests to Zheng Wentong, Zheng Wentong directly refused, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhong Lifang's meaning can conditionally agree to Zhang Yibai's request, and can set up a line for box office dividends, for example, after the box office exceeds 400 million, Zhang Yibai can participate in dividends.

If Zhang Yibai wants to buy 1 million internal subscription shares, she can not participate in the internal subscription and give the share to Zhang Yibai.

Zheng Wentong has not yet expressed his position, Zhang Yibai first came to the dismount and met with representatives of other film and television media companies in Yanjing.

For Zheng Wentong, Ning Hao, Shen Teng and Shu Huan are an indispensable part of the contracted directors and screenwriters, and Zhang Yibai is actually dispensable.

"Passing by Your World" can only be said to be unsatisfactory, taking advantage of a subject matter and location selection and casting.

The adaptation rights of the same name of "Passing by Your World" were purchased by Zheng Wentong, the screenwriting work was jointly completed by Zheng Wentong and Zhang Jiajia, the location of the filming was determined by Zheng Wentong, the starring Deng Chao, Yue Yunpeng, and Liu Yan were determined by Zheng Wentong, and Yang Yang, Bai Baihe and Du Juan were determined by Zhang Baibai.

Before the release of the movie, other film and television companies have begun to smear Zhang Yibai, Deng Chao, Liu Yan, Bai Baihe and others. If it weren't for Zheng Wentong's good communication with these elders, how could "Passing by Your World" have a box office of 800 million, and Zhang Yibai has no capital to be proud of himself in front of Zheng Wentong.

As a director, Zhang Yibai is good at marketing, and bad movies can also achieve a good box office, but unfortunately he can't shoot high-quality content. Some capital may like such a director, but Zheng Wentong is not interested in Zhang Yibai, after all, his black history is real.

But marketing Zheng Wentong will too. The publicity and distribution plans of "Wolf Warrior 1", "Charlotte Troubles" and "Mermaid", Zheng Wentong personally handled them. Therefore, for Pony Galloping, Ning Hao and Shen Teng are indispensable, and Zhang Yibai is dispensable.

When Slope Investment first acquired Pony Galloping, Zheng Wentong needed Ning Hao and Zhang Yibai to stabilize the company's valuation, so he immediately announced the filming of "Crazy Alien" and "Passing by Your World".

However, Zheng Wentong is also benevolent to the old man of Pony Galloping, and Li Ming, the founder of Pony Galloping, has fulfilled all the equity incentives promised to these Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai, Shu Huan, Liu Heng, Lan Xiaolong, Kong Ergou and the company's management positions.

Ning Hao initially held 2.5% of the shares, plus the 1 million shares subscribed internally, the shareholding became 3%, and Shu Huan's shareholding became 1%.

The valuation of Pony Gallop before listing was 8.5 billion yuan, so Zhang Yibai's 1% stake was also 85 million yuan. Perhaps it was Zheng Wentong's differential treatment of Ning Hao and Zhang Yibai that made Zhang Yibai dissatisfied, so he took advantage of the movie to make a request to Zheng Wentong, but what Zhang Yibai didn't expect was that Zheng Wentong didn't even have the intention of keeping him, and he didn't even bother to participate in the celebration banquet of "Passing by Your World".

Zheng Wentong set conditions for Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai and others to exchange equity incentives, and if they leave the company in the future, they need to sell their shares in the company to Slope Investment at the market value of the company at that time.

So if Zhang Yibai wants to leave, Zheng Wentong will definitely not keep him, and let Zhang Yibai leave with 85 million. Zhang Yibai also made a movie with a box office of 800 million for the company, and he could get 85 million, Zheng Wentong felt that he was really interesting.

However, Zhang Yibai didn't think so in his heart, he knew that if he stayed in the company, if Pony Galloping was listed, if the company's market value could be doubled or tripled, the 1% equity might become 100 million or even 200 million.

However, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange stipulates that the original shares subscribed internally cannot be traded for one year, and the shares can only be sold after the restriction period. If the development situation of the pony galloping is very good, the shares held by Zhang Yibai will of course be more valuable, but if the company's development is not good, then the stock price may also fall, and it is better to cash out and leave now.

After the celebration banquet, Zhang Yibai wanted to fight for himself again, and took the initiative to contact Zheng Wentong, but Zheng Wentong still refused to let go.

At the end of October, Zhang Yibai announced that he would join Huanxi Media Co., Ltd., and Huanxi Media had another shareholder director. Slope Investment's stake in Pony Galloping has also become 49.33%, plus the 6% held by Tonglu Investment Fund, Zheng Wentong's stake in Pony Galloping has become 55.33%.

Because Pony Gallop is in full swing preparing to go public, Zhang Yibai's departure has made investors bearish on Pony Gallop's valuation. Cheng Wei believes that Zheng Wentong should adjust the valuation of Pony Galloping in real time, and the market value of the IPO should be adjusted to about 7.5 billion yuan.

On November 1, Yanjing Pony Galloping announced the signing of five directors, including Song Xiaofei, Liang Xiaozhi, Xue Xiaolu, Guo Fan, and Wen Muye.

Zhang Yibai was dismissive of this news, thinking that none of the four directors together could beat him, and Huanxi Media was already helping Zhang Yibai prepare a new movie.

Pony Galloping also announced a new filming plan for next year, Xue Xiaolu will direct the romance film "I Want Us to Be Together", the male lead is Zhu Yawen, the female lead is Tang Wei, and the movie is adapted from "My Girlfriend Who Has Been Running for Ten Years Is About to Get Married".

Xue Xiaolu is good at romance films, and she and Zhang Yibai are the same type of directors. Her "Yanjing Meets Seattle" and "Yanjing Meets Seattle: The Only Love Letter" both did well at the box office.

Zhang Yibai just broke the box office record of domestic romance films held by Xue Xiaolu, but as soon as Zhang Yibai left Pony Galloping, Pony Galloping changed hands and signed Xue Xiaolu, a director of the same type, Zheng Wentong's move was simply a slap in the face.

Zheng Wentong has watched the TV series "Daming Fenghua" starring Zhu Yawen and Tang Wei, Zhu Yawen's grandson Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei played by Tang Wei in the drama still have a sense of CP. Xue Xiaolu originally wanted Wu Xiubo and Tang Wei to continue the trip, but Zheng Wentong directly vetoed it.

Pony Galloping signed five new directors to stabilize the company's valuation before going public, and the new films that Pony Gallop has started filming in 17 years include "The Richest Tomato" and "I Want Us to Be Together", Zheng Wentong now has a little headache who will sing the magical "burn my calories".
