China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 221 219. The entertainment circle is so lively

Hangzhou, Ahri headquarters.

"Mr. Ma, last time you wanted to invest in Huayi, I discussed it with my elder brother. In fact, Huayi is not short of money right now."

Wang Zhonglei sat on a chair, sipping tea, and said with a smile.

On the opposite side, Ma Yun was laughing in her heart: "Is there no shortage of money? Then why are you here this time? Is it because of my investment? Is there a 'but' behind it?"

Sure enough, Wang Zhonglei continued: "However, if Ari can invest in the capital, the company will develop better, and we can be regarded as a strong alliance, and Feiyu has made great moves this year. If we don't act, sooner or later we will be eliminated. He suppressed."

"It's no problem to invest, but..."

Ma Yun first confirmed her thoughts, and when she heard that the other party had similar goals to her own, she nodded first, and then changed the topic: "However, I want to know about Huayi's plan for the past two years."

It's normal for people to get money, so it's natural to know about the company's development.

Fortunately, before Wang Zhonglei came, he had already made preparations, and said with a smile: "You also know that this year we have a movie "The Banquet" with a large investment that is being filmed, and a movie with a small investment "A Ghost in My Heart" is in the post-production stage. The box office of "Love Epilepsy", which we cooperated with Emperor before, is also good at the box office, and if the funds are in place, we plan to launch three more films."

"Haha, is it true that Wang always heard that Feiyu Entertainment has three movies this year, and he intends to fight with them?"

Ma Yun smiled slightly when she heard the plan.

"President Ma's news is really well-informed. It seems that he really has plans to enter the entertainment industry."

Wang Zhonglei did not deny it and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma also has issues with Feiyu's Cao Yu. We are on the same front."

Cao Yu stole the limelight from Ma Yun in the West Lake Discussion of Swords. Commercially, Jingdong and Penguin are also Ahri's biggest competitors. This is already an open situation, and Wang Zhonglei knows it very well.

Especially last time in Yanjing, Ma Yun had shown hostility towards Cao Yu.

Those who have the same enemy are friends.

However, Ma Yun still didn't agree, and asked, "Do you have a script for the movie you plan to invest in this year?"

"This has been prepared for a long time. We plan to cooperate with Brother Cheng Long on "Baby Project", and then cooperate with Liu Dehua on "Mo Gong". In addition, we are also planning a comedy "Restless Dogs" about marriage and family. Ma How do you feel about these movies?"

Now that he has come to discuss cooperation, Wang Zhonglei does not hide it.

"Brother Cheng Long, King Liu"

Hearing the names of these two people, Ma Yun was a little worried, and said in her heart: "Although Liu Tianwang has charisma, sometimes he is a box office poison."

Although Ma Yun is engaged in e-commerce, he knows a little about the film industry, which is also a hobby.

"how?"

Seeing Ma Yun frowning, Wang Zhonglei asked.

"fine."

Naturally, Ma Yun couldn't speak ill of Liu Tianwang. After all, there was nothing to say about Liu Tianwang's character, but the box office had always been mediocre.

"The cooperation thing?"

"It's still what I said last time, 1000 million US dollars, 10% of the shares."

Ma Yun still held out a finger.

"Less, the investment in these movies is not small. The bottom line for me and my brother is 3000 million US dollars, 10%."

Wang Zhonglei stated his bottom line.

"Hehe, it's impossible."

Ma Yun immediately refused.

"How about this, 3000 million US dollars, in addition to 10% of Huayi Brothers' shares, our 13.7 shares of Huayi in Zhejiang Province will also be transferred to you. When we go public, you will also get part of the income from the group. If you don't Promise, we can only find someone else."

Wang Zhonglei came up with a plan after discussing with his elder brother and the company's finances in the future.

Zhejiang Huayi is the predecessor of Huayi Brothers, and it is part of the entire group, but it is now an empty shell, and it is just used to operate funds.

Ma Yun frowned, did the math, and felt that it was feasible, and finally said: "The maximum is 2000 million US dollars, but I still want to express it to Huayi in Zhejiang Province. I will personally contribute hundreds of thousands more, so it will be easy to account for."

"2000"

Wang Zhonglei was a little dissatisfied, because this was the bottom line given by his elder brother.

According to their thinking, they could have asked for a little more, but now it seems that it is a bit difficult.

Sure enough, after a lot of bargaining, Ma Yun was unwilling to add a dime, so Wang Zhonglei reluctantly agreed for several new plays this year.

"Happy cooperation!"

Ma Yun stretched out her hand: "I hope you can successfully stop Feiyu."

"Hehe, same."

……

In Xiangshan, Cao Yu's negotiations are also coming to an end.

Xiangshan Film and Television City is located in Datang Port Ecotourism Zone, Xiangshan, Zhejiang Province. With Lingyan Mountain as the background, it cleverly combines the local natural landscapes such as mountains, rocks, caves, water, and forests. The scenery is very good and has great development prospects.

However, the first phase of Shendiao City is too small and has not yet developed. At present, it is considering attracting investment in order to turn losses into profits.

Now someone is taking over the project and will increase investment. The local government thinks this is a good thing and naturally supports it.

Under Zhang Jizhong's mediation, the original offer of 8000 million yuan was changed to 500 million yuan.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Cao Yu spent an extra 800 million to handle all aspects of the relationship very harmoniously.

In the end, he also got the right to develop the second phase of [-] mu of land.

Everyone is happy and happy.

In the original world, 06 was an extraordinary year.

This year, three masterpieces appeared, "Wulin Biography", "Soldier Assault", and "Country Love".

The film industry is even more turbulent.

"Full City with Golden Flowers", "Night Banquet", "Huo Yuanjia", and "Baby Project", etc., were all overwhelmed.

Of course, all this changed because of Cao Yu's rebirth.

"Wulin" and "Soldier Assault" have already appeared in advance amid the strangling of Huayi and Feiyu, and "Curse of the Golden Armor" was stillborn because of Zhang Yimou's falling out with his friends.

Although without these, the entertainment industry this year is still not peaceful.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xingye's movie "Yangtze River No. [-]" was launched in Hong Kong, and investor Cao Yu came in person.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Huayi's new movie "Ink Attack" held a press conference. The king of heaven Liu Dehua and the number one female Fan Erbing appeared at the press conference.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Feiyu Entertainment's movie "Assembly" also held a press conference. The male number one Jiang Wen and the newly promoted girl Zhao Liying appeared in front of the media.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, the movie "Baby Project" invested by Huayi was officially announced, starring Cheng Long, Louis Koo, Gao Yuanyuan, and even veteran Hong Kong comedy star Xu Guanwen joined the cast.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the film "Painted Skin" jointly invested by Feiyu and China Film Group held an open audition to select male and female leading actors.

On February [-], when the dragon raises its head, Huayi announced that it will cooperate with Lionsgate Pictures in Hollywood.

On the fifth day of February, Feiyu Entertainment announced that the sci-fi film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" co-produced by China and the United States will meet the audience in May.

Every time, as long as one company announces an action, another company will inevitably respond, tit for tat, full of gunpowder.

However, when Feiyu announced that the company will collaborate with Tomato Channel on the celebrity reality show "Running Brother", all the melon-eaters were waiting for Huayi's reaction, but they were dumbfounded.

Although Huayi got Ahri's investment and their pockets bulged, but they have bet all on movies this year, and they don't have any TV dramas, let alone variety shows?
Mainly, there are no good ideas either.

When many people who eat melons left messages on Huayi Weibo to tell them not to be cowardly, Mango Channel jumped out in time and announced a variety show called "Metamorphosis".

"That's how it's fun."

In Feiyu Entertainment's office, Cao Yu watched the entertainment news with a smile on his face.

He can't be alone and seek defeat. The game is more interesting when someone is playing with him.

While they were having a good time, Zhou Juan came in and reported: "Mr. Cao, we have obtained the Internet broadcasting rights for the World Cup. Are we starting to attract investment?"

"Well, you look at the arrangement."

Cao Yu nodded and saw that Zhou Juan had no intention of leaving. He raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Juan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Cao, there is a company that recruits people here."

"what company?"

"Heyi Network, they seem to be working on a video website. As far as I know, their website is called Youku."

"Oh?"

Hearing this name, Cao Yu's eyes narrowed immediately.

Poaching people is not scary, but this website will be acquired by Ari in the future, so he immediately asked, "Who are they poaching?"

"Technology department, mainly those who develop barrage."

As the CEO, Zhou Juan still understands these situations.

"I understand, don't alert the enemy first. As long as they are not core technical talents, let them leave if they want. You can handle the rest. I believe in your abilities."

Cao Yu nodded and then gave instructions.

"understood."

When Zhou Juan agreed to leave, Cao Yu leaned back on the chair and said with a faint smile, "Youku, it seems that you are interested in barrage."
