Even though he was banned for five years again, and won the title of "King of Banned Films" in the circle, Lou Ye still received an invitation to the Huabiao Award.

Although he is also strong, he is still not as strong as Chen Fei after all, so even if he holds his breath, he finally agrees to participate.

Speaking of which, he actually annoys those old things, too.

"Suzhou Creek", "Summer Palace", "Spring Breeze Drunken Night", which of these films is not an excellent literary film in the world? But in China, I just can't pass the trial!

Many peers in the industry feel aggrieved for him, especially Jiang Wen, who has publicly expressed his appreciation for him several times, but this still can't change the minds of those people above.

What made him angry the most was that he was banned three times in a row, but another movie that could never pass the review according to common sense actually passed the review on a horse!

Yu Feihong - "Love Has an Afterlife".

This is a romance film that tells the story of people and ghosts in a modern context!

Let's not talk about its story, this theme alone is enough to be banned for 180 years, and the director has also been banned from meat.

But the strange thing is that the one who stepped on the horse actually passed the trial!

When he heard the news, he almost didn't sit still, ready to go to the old men and ask for an explanation!

Why!

The domestic ban on "trickery" is particularly strong now, even zombie films and zombie films are difficult to pass the trial, but Yu Feihong is just a rookie director, and he is still filming this kind of taboo theme, how can he pass the trial?

And now it's all set! This also means that it won't be long before you can log in to domestic theaters!

Stepping on a horse, there was "Nanjing! Nanking! The kind of traitor films with unclear meaning, and then there are taboo films such as Yu Feihong's "Love Has an Afterlife".

They can all pass the review, why can't my "Spring Breeze Drunk Night" pass?

The more Lou Ye thought about it, the more angry he became, he was going to go to the Film Bureau to ask for an explanation, but after thinking about it, he felt that he would definitely be kicked out if he went alone.

After all, the power of one person is still too small.

It just so happens that the Huabiao Award is about to be held, so it is better to go here and toss it, there are so many directors who have been banned from directing on the scene, maybe someone will come out to support him.

So on the 29th, he changed into a suit, and with a bullish energy, he rushed directly to the award ceremony.

～

For the sake of "political achievements", those old guys did make a lot of efforts.

This year's Huabiao Awards is called a grand one, where CEOs, producers, first- and second-tier stars, and first- and second-tier directors of various film and television production companies gather!

There was news on the Internet that this year's Huabiao Awards will invite all the directors of the 100 million yuan box office club in the Chinese film industry to arrange for them to give speeches on stage.

Lou Ye didn't believe it before, but when he saw Zhang Yimou, who hadn't appeared in public for a long time, he immediately believed it.

However, he himself actually doesn't have a good impression of Zhang Yimou, especially his partner Zhang Weiping, who is so crazy that he talks like a thorn.

As a director, Lou Ye's attention is mostly on the director on the scene.

In addition to Zhang Yimou, he also saw Feng Xiaogang, who was filming "The Great Earthquake", Chen Kaige, who was building a film and television city, and Chen Long, Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei and other Hong Kong directors who have been very "popular" recently.

"Tsk, this group of old men is quite big."

Lou Ye secretly complained in his heart, and turned his head and fell on the circle of film and television production.

Han Sanping will always be the most eye-catching one in the crowd, but he has also been riddled with scandals recently, just because he had a meal with Fan Bingbin, he was said by the unscrupulous paparazzi to be the "unspoken rule" in the industry.

He didn't know what the specific inside story was, he wasn't that big of gossip, but if he only looked at the news on the Internet, he also felt that something was not quite right with these two people.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fan Bingbin is too beautiful, and Han Sanping's identity is indeed easy to think about.

After glancing over Han Sanping, Ning Hao's figure appeared in Lou Ye's eyes.

At this time, he was surrounded by a group of producers, chatting and laughing.

Although Lou Ye couldn't hear what they were saying, it was nothing more than "Painted Skin 2", which was a big cake, and everyone wanted to go up and take a bite.

Especially Guangguang, which has just recently announced its official entry into the film and television industry, has been rumored to be an upstream producer, and these two companies are even a little hungry.

If it weren't for the ban period, Lou Ye would be interested in pulling an investment from them.

While greeting some acquaintances, Lou Ye's eyes continued to look around the scene.

He saw the two brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, and there were also people from Emperor, Media Asia, and Golden Harvest, and even several Wanwan companies.

But what made him feel strange was that the person who should have appeared at the Huabiao Awards tonight had not shown up for a long time!

It wasn't until the award ceremony officially started more than half an hour later that he reacted in hindsight.

"Good fellows! Chen Fei didn't come! Hahahahahaha ”

Lou Ye couldn't hold back, and almost laughed out loud.

Because there was a camera on the stage pointed at the audience, he had to bow his head sharply, but the constantly shrugging shoulders betrayed him.

The cowhide is blowing loudly, and what do you say that this year's Huabiao Awards will gather all the directors of the Chinese film industry with a box office of 100 million yuan to share their experience on the spot.

But it's good now, Chen Fei, who is the No.1 commercial film in Chinese film and the No.2 commercial film in global film history, didn't come, so what's the point of this award ceremony?

Especially when he watched Chen Kaige, Lu Chuan, Wu Yu and others talking on stage, he almost couldn't hold back.

He looks at those people now as if he is looking at clowns, isn't this a proper "there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king"?

"Hey, what are you laughing at? It's all fun all night! Why haven't you stopped? ”

Jiang Wen patted him on the shoulder, looking curious.

When this guy first came, he still had a black face, as if he was going to hit someone, but why couldn't he stop being happy all of a sudden, I'm afraid he's crazy?

"Didn't you notice? Chen Fei didn't come! ”

"......" Jiang Wen suddenly realized, "I know! So that's why you're having fun? ”

Lou Ye, "I want to see now what the expressions of those old guys from the organizer are, they are quite big, but now it's good, let's get rid of it!" ”

"Hahaha." Jiang Wen was also happy, "Whatever, let's just join in the fun, just wait and see the follow-up." ”

There were many people at the scene who didn't react at first, but as the awards progressed, everyone gradually came back to their senses.

The audience has already begun to whisper, Chen Fei didn't come, this award ceremony always feels a little up and down, the key is that no one can hold the scene!

Even if Li Press and Zhang Yimou both appeared on stage in the end, they always felt that something was missing.

The domestic box office of "Inception" has already rushed to 1.1 billion, and it is charging towards 1.2 billion, and it is very likely to rush up depending on the situation.

With such results, others seem a little embarrassed.

Even if Ning Hao has a movie with a box office of 500 million, others haven't even rushed up to 400 million, let alone break 1 billion.

Celebrities only dare to whisper and whisper, but the media don't care so much.

After discovering that Chen Fei did not come, many people directly stuffed the original manuscript into their pockets, and wrote Chen Fei's name on a notepad with their backhands.

The popularity of this wave of Huabiao Awards must be on the business director who did not show up!

Until the end of the award ceremony, Lou Ye didn't go up to do anything, because he felt that it was unnecessary at all, after all, there were still "pioneers" in front!

～

The day after the end of the Huabiao Award, the news spread on the Internet!

"The 13th Huabiao Awards were successfully held last night, but director Chen Fei did not attend the event."

"The stars were shining on the scene, but the biggest "star" did not appear, does this mean some kind of mistake on the part of the organizers? ”

"Ning Hao, Zhang Yimou, Wu Yu, Li Press, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other business directors came on the stage one by one to share their experiences, but the response on the scene was mediocre, and everyone was obviously not very satisfied."

“……”

Because of the high popularity on the Internet, coupled with the fact that various media like to engage in "conspiracy theories", the organizers of the Huabiao Award had to come forward to explain.

They still follow the same method of publishing.

The writer is obviously an old man, and he apologized at the beginning, saying that he failed to meet the expectations of netizens.

However, when it comes to specific explanations, a lot of "water" is added.

In the article, it was first made clear that the organizer had sent invitations to Chen Fei many times, and specially asked several friends in the circle who had a good relationship with him to help, but in the end, he still failed to achieve his wish.

Although they are very sorry, they are helpless.

That's the end of this explainer's article!

The writer obviously put himself in the position of a "vulnerable group", and the meaning is also obvious, probably that Chen Fei is very good now, and he looks down on the Huabiao Award at all, so even if the organizer invited him many times, he refused mercilessly.

No explanation for Chen Fei appeared in the article, and even the reasons he used to refuse to participate in the award ceremony were not written.

When it comes to dragging their feet and doing things, these old guys are obviously professionals!

As soon as the article was published, it immediately aroused the righteous indignation of many passers-by!

There are already a lot of Chen Fei's black fans on the post bar, and some water armies are starting to bring rhythm.

"Hehe, I kind of understand, what Chinese director? What ray of hope? To put it bluntly, it's just a dog of those capitalists in Hollywood. ”

"I didn't support such a big event in China, and the old-timers begged you and were rejected, and the face is really big enough!"

"Why don't you check it out, I suspect that he is no longer our Huaxia people, right? I'm afraid I've already got a green card, right? ”

“……”

Regarding the remarks of these black fans, Chen Fei's die-hard fans are naturally arguing with reason.

But in the face of the tide of water army, black fans and those passers-by who were brought to the rhythm, the confidence of the iron fans to counterattack is not very strong, after all, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Fei did not come to participate in this internal entertainment event!

However, just when the fans were being beaten and retreated, the time soon came to August 31, and a freshly baked report appeared on the front page of Sina.com!

[Hot news: On August 29th, national time, Walton Pictures officially went public on the NASDAQ bell ringing, and the founders Natalie Walton, Chen Fei, and Bruce Cockfner came to New York and participated in the bell ringing ceremony on the spot! 】

The report was published in a combination of pictures and texts, and it explained in detail the various details of the day.

Walton Pictures calculated on a 300 million share basis (including options and restricted stock) at an initial proposed issue price of $8 per share.

But because there are the Volton family, the Morgan consortium, and the yield of the previous year as the basic data, there are many capitals that say that this price is too low!

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the final issue price per share was $15, and a total of 50 million shares were offered for sale, raising a total of $750 million and a valuation of $4.5 billion!

If you compare those Internet companies that have just been listed, this data is really not good.

Any Internet company, if it can have the current rate of return of Walton Pictures, the valuation after listing can at least exceed 20 billion US dollars!

But if you compare it side-by-side, this data is a bit scary!

You must know that Lionsgate, which is often touted as the No. 1 under Hollywood's new Big Six, now has a market value of only $1.5 billion.

Walton Pictures is directly 3 times as much!

Even DreamWorks, which has been brilliant in Hollywood for a long time, now only has a market value of 3 billion US dollars, which is still the data generated when "Transformers 2" is popular all over the world.

Of course, compared with the six old companies of Sony, Warner, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, and Universal, it must be far behind.

Let's just say that Disney now, even if there are no blockbuster films in recent years, its company's market value is as high as 30 billion dollars, which is more than 6 times the valuation of Walton Pictures.

But how many years have these established companies been living?

On the other hand, Walton Pictures, it has been less than 5 years since it officially entered the circle of film and television production!

5 years, a market value of 4.5 billion US dollars!

As soon as this data appeared, it suddenly shocked a bunch of people's jaws!

For a while, this report was wildly reprinted by many media, and there was a trend of becoming popular in the whole of China in the blink of an eye.

The reason is also very simple, who made the CEO of Walton Pictures Chen Fei?

As long as you are not a fool, it should be clear that Chen Fei must occupy a certain percentage of shares in this company, otherwise he would not be so dedicated.

Huayi.

"What? Did Volton Pictures go public? ”

Hearing the assistant's report, Wang Zhonglei was stunned.

What's going on? Why did you suddenly make such a big piece of news? I haven't heard that there is a preparation for listing before?

"What's the opening price?" Wang Zhongjun asked very rationally.

Huayi will be ready to go public soon, and he is inexplicably a little curious, how big will the gap between the two companies be?

The assistant replied, "Per share, 23... Dollar! ”

"What about the current market capitalization?"

"$6.9 billion."

"Hiss!!"

As soon as the assistant's voice fell, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei subconsciously glanced at each other, and Qi Qi gasped.

Because Huayi is about to go public, the two of them will also pay attention to the market value of foreign film and television entertainment companies from time to time.

So far, the market value of film and television entertainment companies in the United States is at the lowest point.

As soon as the market value of Walton Pictures came out, it can be said that it is firmly within the scope of Hollywood's new seven majors.

Moreover, the potential of this company is extremely huge, "Inception" is still in theaters worldwide, and follow-up films such as "The Hunger Games", "Twilight", "Super Body", and "Kung Fu Panda" are also preparing to be released......

It is no exaggeration to say that if the follow-up movies can be a big success, doubling the market value will not be a problem!

This is also the reason why Marvel has not continued to exert force, if the entire Marvel universe is fully expanded, it will be easy to crush Disney!

Now most of the capital is still waiting, after all, after Volton Pictures acquired Marvel, there is only one "Iron Man 1" that has been a great success, and it is still unknown whether the follow-up will continue to be brilliant.

But even so, the "record" of Walton Pictures still amazed the whole of Hollywood!

The foreign media has even surrounded the headquarters of Volton Pictures, and they have interviewed them fiercely after Chen Fei and others come back!

At this time, inside the China Film Building.

Han Sanping looked at the secretary with great interest, "Can you find it now?" What is Chen Fei's personal shareholding ratio? ”

According to the usual practice, the share of listed companies can be checked, but because Walton Pictures has just been listed, Han Sanping is still a little unsure if there is more detailed information over there.

The secretary subconsciously replied: "I can find it, it has been announced." ”

"How much?" Han Sanping straightened her waist suddenly, her face full of curiosity.

“34%！”

"Hahaha, I'll just say, he must have a high voice in this company, otherwise it would be impossible to make a fortune with China Film and Shangying."

Han Sanping was so excited for a while that she couldn't help herself, according to this situation, the chances of China Film participating in Hollywood blockbusters in the future will be greatly increased!

Normally, as long as you have more than 34% of the shares in your hands, you have a veto at the general meeting.

And Chen Fei's quota is just 34%, which means that he is one of the major shareholders of the company and enjoys a very high voice in the company.

In addition to his 34%, Natasha has 36%, Bruce has reduced his holdings to 8%, the Volton family has bought 5%, and Longxiang Capital has also bought 5%.

As for the remaining 12%, it was naturally sold, after all, the company would definitely sell the founder's shares when it went public.

Someone on the Internet calculated his current worth based on the proportion of Chen Fei's shares and the closing price on the day of listing, and finally came up with a terrible number!

$2.6 billion!

20.8 billion RMB!

When this figure was announced, not only the film and television industry was blown up, but even the domestic capital circle was completely shocked!

According to the Forbes rich list released at the end of last year, Liu Yongxing, who ranked first, was 20.4 billion yuan.

And now, as soon as Walton Pictures was listed, Chen Fei's worth began to soar wildly as if he was on a rocket, surpassing Liu Yongxing in one fell swoop!

Although this year's domestic Forbes rich list has not yet been announced, as long as you guess a little, you will know that Chen Fei can definitely be among the top ten!

At this time, the post bar was already boiling.

The iron fans, who were still being suppressed by the black powder, immediately straightened their backs and launched an extremely strong counterattack!

"It's just a broken watch award, what's worth participating in? At that time, Director Chen might as well go to NASDAQ to ring the bell. ”

"What? To participate in your award ceremony, can the organizer give Director Chen 20 billion yuan? ”

"Hehe, a bunch of bad pens, jump! Keep jumping! Do you know what the concept of 20 billion is? I can kill you with money! ”

"In all fairness, if it were me, I would definitely not hesitate to go to NASDAQ to ring the bell in the face of the invitation to the company's listing and awards ceremony."

"What if you get a green card? Isn't Director Chen worthy? ”

Because there is too much pressure in reality, everyone shows a lot of anger on the Internet, and the back and forth between the two sides has even evolved into pure personal attacks, and even regional attacks!

At this time, Chen Fei, who is far away in Hollywood, responded to this matter on his blog.

"First of all, thank you for your attention, but I want to say sorry first, after all, it is because of me that caused this scolding war on the Internet.

In fact, I am also very interested in the invitation of the organizer of the Huabiao Award, as a Chinese person, I should contribute to the development of the Chinese film and television industry, which is also my unshirkable responsibility!

However, because of the company's listing, I, the founder, had to be present to participate, so I had no choice but to refuse the invitation of the organizer of the Huabiao Award, and explained to the organizer of the Huabiao Award "carefully, patiently and seriously" the reason for not being able to participate.

I deeply regret the consequences of this situation, and I would like to say sorry to all of you, I should not have used public resources for personal reasons, and I hope you can understand my difficulties.

At the same time, I would like to say thank you to all fans and friends, thank you very much for maintaining me, but I hope you can end this unnecessary farce and create a beautiful and harmonious online atmosphere, thank you again! ”

As soon as the response came out, the two sides who were participating in the scolding war on the Internet were stunned for a while.

"It turns out that Director Chen didn't look down on us in the mainland, but he also deliberately used words such as careful, patient, and serious when he read the article, which is obviously a modest tone!"

"You see, people still say that the development of the mainland film and television industry is his unshirkable responsibility, and this is indeed the case! Director Chen's movies have really promoted the development of the film and television industry! ”

", Made, I'm careless, I'm misunderstood!"

"25 years old, the second in global film history, worth more than 20 billion yuan, I'm Nima, if I were Director Chen, I can't wait to lift my head to the sky now, only look at people with my nostrils, and people can reply to us so humbly, this ...... Misunderstanding! ”

"Damn, it's all because of the article released by the Huabiao Award, you can't explain it clearly at one time? Do you have to be in such a fog? The labor and management think that you have been wronged! ”

"Who wrote the article? You come out! I promise not to kill you! ”
