I really can't act

Chapter 492 Teddy Sisters

The company under Ma et's name is expected to go public in the United States next year, and he will work hard to increase the valuation before that.Draw big pies for investors, tell stories, and believe that his business will continue to grow and have sufficient market potential.

So he needs to make a difference in the cultural industry. In his vision, Ali Culture is one of the troikas that can keep pace with online shopping malls and financial payments.Ma et established a company called Ari Culture, hoping to develop into a leading media group. For example, he recently tried to acquire a pptv video website-this is an effort in channels; he negotiated with Leshi Sports, will The broadcast rights of the other party's Premier League, Bundesliga, F1 and other sports events are diverted to their own platform-this is an effort in content; in addition, he also needs enough traditional high-quality content.

Ma et has already become a shareholder of Huayi Film and Television and Souhu Video Network, and now he is eyeing Fang Yi's newly established Republic Era.

Today, Lao Zhang is the host, and this is actually what he wants to match up.

However, Ma et has a relatively strong business style and a strong desire to control.He asked Fang Yi: "Since you want to put your film on your own video network, and I agree with it, can I change the way and make a detour?"

Fang Yi said: "You mean..."

"I'm not only investing in your movie, I'm also investing in your video website. In this way, you can still play it on your platform and you have the copyright, but we have become a family from now on, and there is no zero-sum game."

In other words, you own the movie and I own you.

Of course Fang Yi shook his head: "I'm not very short of money."

Ma et said: "I am not short of money, but I will never have too much money. I can guarantee that it will definitely be invested at a premium, and I will not treat you badly... You may not know that Xu Jiayin from Shencheng has a football game The team is engaged in gold dollar football. Although the results have improved in the past few years, it has been losing money. I also want to play football. I chatted with him. I am willing to pay a premium to buy his loss-making football team.”

He paused and said, "Compared to football, I really like movies. This is not just a business investment, but also my own personal feelings."

Fang Yi then asked: "If you invest in this video network, will you accept a loss?"

"I'm not short-sighted, losses are not a problem now."

"Do you have any requirements for content output?"

"There is still a little bit-let me make an analogy, for example, you have to make three movies every five years. Is this too much for me? I think the speed of your movie making can be achieved."

Fang Yi has almost made a movie every year for the past few years.This year the speed is even faster, "Zodiac" has been filming for five months now, and he is already preparing for the next film.

But Fang Yi disagreed with Ma et's request: "So this is where there is no way to compromise."

Ma et said helplessly: "For this request, I referred to the practices of some domestic companies, and I also referred to Hollywood... I don't think it is too much, you can think about it again."

It should be said that it is not too much. Internet companies have KPI genes in their blood, and they have a demon-like obsession with output assessment.It's just that Fang Yi is not an ordinary director, and he doesn't need such a fortune.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lao Zhang acted as a peacemaker, inviting everyone to drink and gossip.

Lao Zhang talked about the fact that he became very famous in the Internet circle recently, "A senior executive in Goudong recently resigned and spent tens of millions on research on ALS because he himself suffered from that disease. I found the meaning of life, and I have more fighting spirit than before—I just thought of myself. After I returned to China to start a business, I soon had everything and could enjoy everything in this industrialized society at any time, but I still felt empty inside. I think people have to find their own career to do, not just a matter of earning a living, but also a way to realize self-worth. You find your place in this society through this... and you have a sense of security. This is why people alive."

Mr. Zhang shared his philosophical insights.This guy was interviewed by Yang Lan before, and he said the same thing under the lens of the CCTV host.

"Pure consumption brings nothing but emptiness, and labor can make people feel value."

This kind of statement is a bit groaning if other people say it, but it makes sense for this buddy to say such a statement, at least he doesn't seem to be lying.

Ma et has been busy with the IPO recently, exhausted physically and mentally, and feels that Lao Zhang's words make sense.So a few people talked about Taoism and Buddhism from the Goudong executive, and finally extended to idealism inevitably.As soon as he mentioned this, Lao Zhang was extremely devout, sharing his outlook on life, while talking, he secretly glanced at Fang Yi's expression.

"Clap!"

Ma et took a call and went out.

Lao Zhang immediately asked in a low voice: "Fang Yi, Mr. Ma gave you money, why didn't you accept it?"

Fang Yi: "Mr. Ma's assistance is conditional. The money is hot, and I don't need to earn his share. I welcome him to invest in my movies. If he wants to invest in my company, he has to think about it again." ..."

Old Zhang answered: "Then the result of your consideration is to forget it."

Fang Yi spread his hands: "Forget it. I pay more attention to the story you tell than Mr. Ma's money. Maybe I can make a movie or something. The subject of frostbite is easy to win awards. I save my life by myself. How interesting."

Lao Zhang rubbed his chin, and said with emotion: "You are... really in line with your personality."

After Ma et came back, he might have thought of this incident, calmed down, and stopped mentioning the capital injection to Fang Yi.Not long after, Ma et got up to leave, leaving only Fang Yi and Lao Zhang.

Old Zhang said: "Maybe he went to find Jia next week."

"He's looking for Jia next week?"

"The boss of Leshi, his company is tens of billions... You and he are Mr. Ma's current celebrities, and he is the content provider of his cultural company. Although you have never met each other, but he came forward , you will get to know each other sooner or later."

Instead, Fang Yi asked Lao Zhang: "How did you match me with Ma et? Don't you have a competitive relationship with him?"

"We are friends now... With his capital injection and the help of Ari Group, I can't make big waves by myself." Lao Zhang said frankly, "If you have money, you are great, and if you have money, you can do whatever you want. , I don’t have as much money as him, and I don’t care as much as you.”

Leaving the box, I met several women talking and laughing together in the corridor, one of them was Liu Mi.Before Fang Yi could speak, Lao Zhang widened his eyes and called out, "Gan Wei?"

The woman named Gan Wei was much more enthusiastic than Lao Zhang, and exaggeratedly posted: "So it's Mr. Zhang!"

Of course Gan Wei also knew Fang Yi, she cast her eyes down, pretending to have just seen Fang Yi: "Director Fang is also here. It should be cooperation with Mr. Zhang?"

Old Zhang was half joking and half serious, "It's me and Fang Dao who cooperated, not him and me. The order of priority is different. He is the main one."
