After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 190: Confrontation, Light Chaos

"Try to release it before the big earthquake. Far Cry is only a movie with an investment of 8 million. How can it compare to the big earthquake with an investment of hundreds of millions?" Li Mingyang took the cocktail handed by the waiter, took a sip, and frowned slightly, "This wine is really hard to drink."

"Haha, Director Li knows about wine?" Chen Daoming said with a smile.

"I don't really understand. My requirements are simple. Just want it to taste good."

"So what kind of wine is good to drink?"

"I am a person who follows the crowd. I usually like what young people like, and I usually don't like what young people don't like."

"Haha, the young people market is huge."

Smart people could already tell that the two were not talking about wine, but the earthquake.

It was not until then that Wu Zhikui realized that Li Mingyang and Kangxi were talking about the earthquake.

Xu Fan gritted his teeth and really disliked the young man in front of him.

If it was anyone else who dared to make such indirect accusations, she would have slapped him in the face, but the person in front of her was Li Mingyang, who could make Huayi a mess.

What's more, the biggest financial sponsor was sitting next to Li Mingyang, which made it difficult for him to save face.

Scold...

Just right!

Everyone in the circle is waiting for Feng Kuazi and Li Mingyang to have a passionate confrontation, and she doesn't want to be the fuse.

"Director Li, what are your box office expectations for Far Cry?" Wang Dajun said with a smile.

"It's enough to make back the money."

"With Director Li's reputation, the box office must be at least 100 million!" Wang Dajun said sarcastically.

Li Mingyang laughed, "One hundred million is not enough! At least two or three hundred million is enough, Mr. Wang, don't you think so?"

Wang Dajun adjusted his glasses, "Then I will just watch Director Li create another success... No! No! The box office of this movie seems to have nothing to do with you. You are neither the director nor the lead actor. It all depends on women selling their bodies, haha! Director Li is still as stable as ever. He always relies on women's three things when making movies. It's as vulgar as possible!"

"Not as good as the brothel brothers." Li Mingyang said directly.

Everyone present was shocked.

Although it is true, saying this is tantamount to directly breaking off relations.

"What's wrong with this cocktail? Did they change the bartender?" Cai Zhongxin vented his anger on the waiter, then turned around and laughed again: "I personally think that when you go out, you should only seek money and not fight. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, but fighting is harmful to both sides. Mr. Ma

I hope everyone can make money together.”

"Mr. Cai is absolutely right. That's exactly what I meant." Wang Dajun immediately expressed his opinion. He stood up very humbly and bent over to toast Li Mingyang.

No matter how good Li Mingyang is, he is just a newcomer into the circle.

Wang Dajun is the chairman of Huayi Brothers, the leading domestic entertainment and film and television company, and has a very high status in the circle.

Wang Dajun toasted so humbly and lowered himself so low that Cai Zhongxin was stunned on the spot.

Li Mingyang has seen it a lot, so he didn't react. He smiled and stood up, "It was just a slip of the tongue, haha, it was just a slip of the tongue, Mr. Wang, you won't mind, right?"

"This is all slander from those villains. Why would I mind? I did it. You can do whatever you want."

Slander ball.

"I think so too. Are those things in the circle still considered a big deal?" Li Mingyang drank the cocktail in his hand.

Li Mingyang and Wang Dajun simultaneously turned their cups upside down and smiled at each other.

They both know the truth, reconciliation is impossible!

The end-of-year box office battle.

It is related to China Film Group and the investment intentions of a number of Internet capitals.

Huayi can only win, not lose.

You can't even win by a small margin, you have to win by a big margin!
……

Leave the clubhouse.

Li Mingyang looked back at the club and thought that Wang Dajun's attitude was not right. He seemed unaware that he was locked in the film circle.

He took out his cell phone and called Wang Changtian, but the call didn't go through. When he returned to the hotel suite, Wang Changtian called him.

Upon learning that Li Mingyang had gone to Ali and met Wang Dajun and others, Wang Changtian asked in surprise: "Why did you go to Ali?"

"They have invited me again and again, it would be bad not to go!" Li Mingyang asked in confusion: "I met Wang Dajun today, and it seemed like he didn't know that he was locked in the film industry."

"They have already acquired the land, but they haven't figured out what happened yet... You don't have to worry about this matter. There are many people who want to get involved in Huayi..." Wang Changtian changed the subject and said, "Did you meet Jack Ma?"

"No, Cai Zhongxin received me."

"Ali's God of Wealth, this man is not simple... What did he say to you?"

"What else can we do? It's the same old saying, peace is the most precious thing."

"Nonsense, Alibaba is hoping that we can fight Huayi as hard as possible. I'm going to Shenzhen to meet another boss Ma tomorrow, and he doesn't want to just sit there and wait."

"His money is not easy to take."

"I didn't plan to take his money, I was going to solicit sponsorship!"

"Ha ha!"

"I'm asking you if you're planning on Youku shares? Listen to me, let go of the 0.8, it's a guaranteed 1 point anyway, so you won't lose money anyway."

Wang Changtian does not plan to retain shares in Youku. After the listing, he will let Gu buy them back and then withdraw his shares and leave.

But Li Mingyang didn't want to do that, he wanted to wait for Alibaba to acquire him.

1.8% of Youku shares.

Deduct 20% personal income tax and stamp duty for individual shareholders.

The total amount is nearly 600 million!

The contract signed by Li Mingyang and Lao Gu is different from that signed by Wang Changtian.

Lao Gu does not intend to buy back all the shares held by Li Mingyang, but only 0.8%, leaving 1%.

As a major contributor to the listing, if Li Mingyang cashed out all the money and ran away, Youku's stock price would definitely plummet.

Lao Gu doesn't want Li Mingyang to get too many shares, nor does he want Li Mingyang to cash out completely.

He thinks 1% is the most reasonable number.

When additional shares are issued, shareholders have the right to make follow-up investments to maintain their shareholding ratio.

Of course, you can also choose to give up, in which case your equity will be diluted.

Youku will definitely issue additional shares many times, Li Mingyang thought

To maintain the current shareholding ratio, money must be spent.

Youku is a large company with a market value of 30 billion US dollars. If it wants to continue investing to maintain its growth, it will need at least million US dollars as a base.

Although he made a lot of money in the past two years, he borrowed even more money.

He can't afford 30 million US dollars.

So he set his sights on Alibaba, which was expected to acquire Youku in the future.

"Although we have developed so many money-making projects for Youku, Youku is still losing money... I don't think Gu Yongqiang can hold on." "Gu Yongqiang doesn't understand video websites at all. He is just a capital gambler who is waiting for the right price. Youku will be sold sooner or later."

Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and continued, "You have too little contact with Lao Gu. Once Youku successfully goes public, that guy will show his true colors. He won't allow you to take such a high stake. You can't beat him."

"It took a lot of effort to get so many shares... Lao Gu doesn't dare to go too far. I can afford the money, so how can he not let me invest? At most, he can hold my shares on my behalf, and I won't participate in management."

Wang Changtian smiled. "Youku has been burning money and earning money since its founding. It is about to go public, but Gu's shares are still above 40%, and the directors and management hold more than 51%. As for Tudou, Wang Wei's shares are almost below 10%."

"Guogu Capital is doing too well. Besides, Youku's shareholders, except for the management, are all foreign investors. We are the only two outsiders. If Gugu joins forces with foreign investors to play with the U.S. stock market, they can make you lose as much as you invest."

Li Mingyang hesitated. Foreign capital did not abide by the rules and customized the rules of the game in a roundabout way, which could make him give up his shares.

"Let me think about it again." Li Mingyang said.

“Well, but remember, don’t use Ali’s money to maintain Youku’s shares. I feel that Youku’s final destination is Ali…”

Wang Changtian is pretty awesome...you can tell from this.

Of course, if he wasn’t awesome, Li Mingyang wouldn’t have chosen the light.

Wang Changtian's ruthlessness was exactly what he needed.

The two people work together seamlessly and are like fish in water.

That’s it… Guangxian is actually a family business.

There are too many royal relatives, and they are all very capable.

This made Wang Changtian speechless.

He actually doesn't like having so many relatives in the company.

The disadvantage of family businesses is that in the early stages of the business, everyone focuses on one thing, but once the business becomes bigger and stronger, various hidden dangers will arise.

It is difficult for outsiders to integrate.

For example, Zhang Zhao, the president and founder of Enlight Pictures.

Zhang Zhao is considered an old filmmaker. He joined the Shanghai Film Group in his early years and later joined Viewpoint Communication Company under SCIO as vice president.

Later, he joined Enlight Media and later founded Enlight Pictures.

In 2011, Zhang Zhao left Enlight Pictures and founded LeTV Pictures, where he served as CEO and executive director. His works as a producer include Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home", "The Great Wall" and "Shadow", Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times" series, etc.

In June 2019, Zhang Zhao resigned as chairman and CEO of LeEco Entertainment.

After leaving LeEco Entertainment and making a brief transition to Fosun Films, Zhang Zhaoyu founded Jupin Pictures.

Not long after completing the A round of financing, he unfortunately passed away.

The establishment of Enlight Pictures was once Zhang Zhao’s “highlight moment”. The “ground network distribution” created the “Enlight Speed” that attracted much attention in the industry and also accelerated the commercialization of Chinese genre films.

In the four years since the company was founded, Enlight Pictures has produced and released more than 20 commercial films, maintaining a 100% growth rate for four consecutive years.

Having been in the industry for more than 150 years, Zhang Zhao has worked with many creators and creative organizations as a producer, supervisor, producer, and distributor. He has participated in the production and distribution of more than films with a total box office of more than billion yuan.

He is called "the standard-bearer of the Renaissance of China's film industry" by the Hollywood media.

Light has developed to this day.

We don’t make blockbusters, nor build cinema chains, but rely on distribution, marketing and local networks to win.

This was all Zhang Zhao’s plan.

Before leaving Yanbei for Zhoushan, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to find him and have a talk.

The two talked until very late, and when they left, he said that he might leave Guangguang and hoped to have a chance to work together again in the future.

As one of the pioneers of domestic films.

He is a man who keeps pace with the times.

In his eyes, box office is the foundation of domestic films.

The market decides everything.

He said something that Li Mingyang liked very much.

"Disney and Netflix are both companies with a market value of one trillion yuan. As the industry adjusts and restructures with a new framework, in ten to fifteen years, the Chinese market will definitely give birth to a trillion-yuan entertainment company."

When it comes to movies, he is not bound by genre, nor does he distinguish between good and bad; he only focuses on the market.

Zhang Zhao is good at creating movie brands and serializations. Tiny Times and Boonie Bears are both his works.

In addition to his outstanding personal abilities, his loyalty is also unique to Li Mingyang in the capital sector...

When LeTV collapsed.

Creditors blocked the LeTV building downstairs all day long, and except for the legal representative Jia Yueting, all the main leaders of LeTV's seven ecosystems had disappeared.

Only LeTV Pictures was struggling to hold on like a "blood transfusion vehicle", and Zhang Zhao was therefore given the titles of "savior" and "LeTV's night watchman".

In December 2014, Jia Yueting was stranded overseas, and LeTV fell into crisis for the first time and was suspended for a long time.

LeTV Pictures passively announced that it would merge and reorganize with LeTV.com and start injecting capital into LeTV.com within the next year. The day after the announcement, LeTV.com's stock price hit the daily limit.

In order to increase the confidence of shareholders, LeTV Pictures took on a three-year performance bet.

This bet is naturally a joke.

LeTV's biggest risk is Jia Yueting himself.

In November 2016, he took it upon himself to admit that LeTV's capital chain was broken, thus opening Pandora's box.

In January 2017, Sun Hongbin, known as the "white knight", announced that he would inject 1 billion yuan into LeEco to acquire high-quality assets such as LeTV.com, LeTV Pictures, and LeEco Zhixin. Although people were skeptical about the deal at the time, on the surface, LeEco seemed to have gotten another chance to survive.

in fact……

Before the acquisition was completed, Jia Yueting asked Zhang Zhao to provide LeTV with 3 million yuan in emergency assistance.

Sun Hongbin kept sending messages to Zhang Zhao, trying to stop him from borrowing money.

At 2017 a.m. one day in April 4, after smoking more than 3 cigarettes, Zhang Zhao finally made a choice to lend 60 million yuan to Jia Yueting.

The 3 million yuan is the last money on LeTV Pictures’ account.

From the bankruptcy to the 3 million yuan, LeTV has cumulatively drained 17 billion yuan from LeTV Pictures.

LeTV Pictures’ valuation was forced to drop from 98 billion to 30 billion.

This loyalty made Lao Sun very angry, but in the end he still let Zhang Zhao leave LeChuang Entertainment with dignity.

If you need ability, you must have ability; if you need loyalty, you must be loyal.

However, the light cannot stay for such people.

Although Li Mingyang talked about everything with Wang Changtian, he never asked about Zhang Zhao's affairs.

Because the answer.

In his previous life, his ex-girlfriend once told him this.

Wang Changtian could tolerate his achievements surpassing his master, but the royal family could not.
