Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 109 Are you in the top ten of the rich list?!
Li Wenyu chatted briefly for a few minutes and then hung up the phone after rejecting Lao Xiong's financing intention.

Jeon Ji-hyun, who was driving, nearly twisted her shoulders and head backwards 120 degrees. "Director Li, is Time Campus valued at 1.5 million US dollars?"

Lao Li and Lao Xiong communicated in Mandarin.

But Xiaoxian's Mandarin is now (40/100), and although his spoken English is still very poor, he understands a lot more when listening.

Before she could get a response, Quan Zhixian became even more excited. "Xinghuo Weibo's valuation is 4 million dollars. Has your assets exceeded 40 billion Hong Kong dollars?"

"6500 billion South Korean won! You just graduated from college!"

Jeon Ji-hyun also called out various names like "brother" in private in a very nice way, but she didn't dare to call out those names because Pang Bing was sitting in the back seat.

As a South Korean, no one can ignore the influence of the chaebol.

In South Korea, normal people cannot escape the curse of death, taxes and Samsung throughout their lives.

The speed of Li Wenyu's rise as an internet tycoon after the millennium stimulated her so much that she wanted to be a gentle and kind person even while driving.

I wish Lao Li could sing Conquer while standing.

Fat Bing wordlessly hammered the back of Xiao Quan's driver's seat, "Drive carefully and don't turn your head randomly. If there's a car accident, I'll kill you."

When Quan Zhixian, frightened by the black face, hurriedly recovered and drove away, Pang Bing was also slightly dizzy and muttered, "Last time, SoftBank wanted to raise 5000% of Weibo for $10 million, but you rejected it. That's equivalent to a market value of $5 million."

"This campus network is worth 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Maybe it will easily break 2 million Hong Kong dollars next month. You've made another to million Hong Kong dollars in the stock market..."

This does not include the money from Time Media Group!

Time Media's share of profits from Hero and Kung Fu is in the tens of millions, and it made 100 to 200 million from the sales of You Who Came From the Stars, and there are also subsequent profits from various DVDs.

Commercial blockbusters like "Extreme Job" also have promising prospects.

As for the signed artists, Li Jiaxin's advertising income is tens of millions.

Huang Xiaoming snatched the role of Xie Tingfeng in New Police Story with a 300 million yuan discount on his salary. He also snatched the image of the young Liang Chaowei in Infernal Affairs 2 with a 600 million yuan salary!
After the original Infernal Affairs became a huge hit, the second and third films were hastily launched.

However fast it was launched, the second part was only started in May this year, and it was released on and off...it was not released until the National Day in 5.

The first film in this dimension was released in mainland China and grossed 7800 million yuan.

The second part is still in preparation. My Love from the Star is very popular in Asia. Now Huang Xiaoming, who plays Professor Huang, is several times more popular than F4 among Korean stars in Taiwan, and he can suppress F4 alone.

He was confirmed to be the male lead or second male lead when Infernal Affairs 2 was about to be filmed.

Was there originally a scene where Ah Le was playing a young boy? They reshot the scene and changed the lens, waiting for Huang Xiaoming's schedule, specifically waiting for him to focus on filming first.

That's what it means to intercept!

Investors still want to leverage Professor Huang's popularity to earn more box office revenue and sales.

Time Media takes 50% of this.

After a quick calculation, Pang Bing exclaimed again, "Brother Yu, will your assets exceed 60 billion Hong Kong dollars next month?"

Before Shiguang Weibo's first round of financing, she knew that the bids from outside were getting higher and higher, and more and more aggressive.

The campus network is definitely following this trend now.

Li Wenyu shook his head, "It's okay, I just need to spend money faster."

There is no rush to change careers and enter the new field of toy manufacturing. He still has a lot to learn. He can directly buy Penguin at the bottom in June next year. An 6% increase would cost 11 to million yuan.

Pang Bing glanced at Quan Zhixian again, "You're in the top ten of the pig-killing list, and you're still so calm? Last year, you were tenth on the Forbes mainland rich list, with a net worth of 3.6 million US dollars, less than 30 billion RMB."

In 2002, real estate tycoon Chen ranked 17th with more than 24 billion yuan!

According to last year's figures, Li Wenyu was ranked third on the mainland China rich list.

Li Wenyu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's all just valuations, no need to make a fuss. Based on the current trend, the richest man in mainland China in 03 will be NetEase's Ding Yong."

"With Lao Ding at the forefront, what does my valuation mean? If there's no real trading, the hype is just for show."

This is still the developmental stage of Internet tycoons.

No matter what the outside world thinks, as long as Shi Guang Campus Network didn't ask Lao Xiong to sell 4500% for $30 million, the asset value of $1.5 million is not valid.

No contractual transactions involving real money will be recognized.

What if SoftBank continues to bid a high price for Time Weibo? If there is no transaction, the market value will still be $4 million.

Moreover, Lao Ding was the richest man for one term and then fell from power until the financial crisis at the end of 08, when the heads of major Internet companies...

It's just bubbling, and its value is fluctuating.

Pang Bing almost spit out his food. Was NetEase's Lao Ding the richest man in 03?
When they both bought the pig farm stocks, they looked like bankrupt?

After she opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, she nodded, "This is really uncertain."

…………

Two days later, July 7th.

The crew of [Extreme Job] has been filming for half a month and everything is going smoothly.

Li Wenyu shouted "cut" in a fried chicken restaurant on a street that was not very busy, asking the crew to take a break.

Xiao Yang ran over and said, "Brother Yu, Stephen Chow is here. He seems very interested in making a cameo appearance in our crew?"

Fat Bing, who was also present, was dumbfounded. "No way, in Kung Fu Hustle, Huayi's Lao Feng took the initiative to guest star, saying that he wanted to collaborate with this Xing Ge in a guest role."

"That person turned his face away and didn't recognize me."

During the filming of Kung Fu, Pang Bing was treated like a queen in the crew, and Stephen Chow never once gave her a bad face.

He was always afraid of not receiving a good reception.

But her current contract is still with Huayi, but with 0 commission within the term. Her relationship with Huayi Shoubing is getting better and better.

Xiao Gangpao's movie "Cell Phone" has been completed and is waiting to be released. The heroine of this version of Cell Phone is Liu Jialing.

Liu Jialing is not yet 40 years old and her acting skills are good enough.

The appearance is not as good but the overall effect is not much weaker than the original Fat Ice.

During the filming, Lao Feng invited Zhou Xingchi to make a guest appearance, but was rejected.

Li Wenyu stood up and walked out. "It's rare for someone to guest-star in someone else's film, but for the sake of the box office, I certainly welcome it."

Fat Bing followed closely behind, "Is he trying to show his goodwill because of your wealth ranking among the top few on the rich list? Or is he trying to get Kung Fu Er to continue their cooperation?"

Kung Fu has been released for less than half a month, and Stephen Chow has been working one day and resting the next, so his schedule is very busy and tight.

Old Li nodded and said no more. Zhou Xingchi, his girlfriend, and assistant were already approaching, distributing various small gifts.

The two sides met and shook hands. After a few polite exchanges, Zhou Xingchi said, "Ayu, congratulations. I wish you a big hit during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"If a blockbuster like ours were to clash with the release date, I'd have to actively avoid it. I heard that Long Ge, Hong Jubao, and Le Ge are all actively offering to guest star in your new film."

"I'm here to visit the set to share the good news. Kung Fu's success is inseparable from your publicity and online promotion. This Saturday night we'll hold a nationwide celebration banquet for the success of breaking 2 million RMB and HKD."

"You and Bingbing must do me the honor of attending. I'll just have to guest-star as an extreme professional."

When Brother Xing needs to demonstrate his emotional intelligence, he speaks really nicely.

During the breaks in the marathon roadshow, he took the initiative to fly back to Hong Kong Island, hold a celebration banquet in Hong Kong Island, and make a guest appearance.

The new offer from IDG to Shiguan Campus Network gradually spread.

It wasn't Li Wenyu who leaked it, it was Xiong Xiaoge!
It's not that Lao Xiong failed to join the campus network when it was valued at 1.5 million US dollars, so he took the initiative to expose the news and make fun of himself, but that there are many venture capitals in China.

Aside from IDG, there are also giants like SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, and Shenzhen Capital Group. For example, Weibo was valued at 32 billion RMB, but Xiong Xiaoge got in first. SoftBank then tried to get in again at a valuation of over 40 billion RMB, but failed.

Too many people are eyeing the Time Internet Factory.

If it weren't for the top hacker Li Wenyu hired to lead the team, they would have been hacked badly long ago.

Of course, Lao Lin of Media Asia in Hong Kong Island Capital wanted to get on board more than once, but after the news spread, Lao Lin became a laughing stock.

There is also the precedent of Li Ershao first investing in and then abandoning Penguin.

Not to mention Media Asia's Lao Lin, it is normal for fans such as Liu Liu, Li Huanggua, etc. to pay attention to the Time Series.

Zhou Xingchi got the news from Hong Kong Island Capital, and someone commissioned him to test the waters.

Li Wenyu smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Xing. There's actually a role suitable for you. Five narcotics police officers are tasked with monitoring a drug lord who has fled Hong Kong Island and his subordinates who remain in Hong Kong Island."

"I was spying on the fried chicken shop across the street. The original owner of the fried chicken shop was about to close down because of poor business. Due to fate, I came up with a few comedy sketches. This character was just a few minutes of comedy performance."

"Brother Xing, you're such a great honor to be able to guest star."

In Extreme Job, five funny narcotics police officers monitor a suspicious drug lord's team of subordinates, and speechlessly buy a fried chicken shop, turning the half-dying business into a hot store that makes a sensation in the whole city.

Then he made a fortune in the fried chicken business.

It is also full of jokes.

In the end, the drug lords who had fled and returned to Hong Kong used their fried chicken shops to open branches and deliver takeout and powder through these branches all over Hong Kong.

The main comedians are still the five-member team including Won Piao and Jeon Ji-hyun.

But the owner of a fried chicken shop that was once deserted? With only a few minutes of screen time, Stephen Chow's cameo was too much of a stretch.

Lao Li was worried that he would be crushed when the main characters were acting against each other.

The actual situation is indeed so. Originally, the role of the store owner was played by Ouyang Zhenhua as a guest star, and now it is played by Yang Mi during the period when she was the second female lead in TVB's Forensic Heroes.

Yang Mi came to visit the set, and TV drama stars such as Ouyang also came to visit and make guest appearances.

Yuan Biao and the others acted with ease, but when Zhou Xingchi joined in as a guest star, this Xing Ge took the script and pondered it.

Yuan Biao, Xiong Xinxin, Zou Zhaolong and Zhang Jin all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, after being urged by the others, Quan Zhixian came over and whispered, "Director Li, this Stephen Chow is making a cameo appearance. Will we be beaten to a pulp?"

Li Wenyu shook his head. "It's okay. When he's easy to talk to, it's easy for him to hold back and act."

From January to now, Jeon Ji-hyun's acting skills have improved from 1 to 81. This is the overall attribute. She also immersed herself in the script for 83 months for Extreme Pro.

How funny can she be? Zhou Xingchi should hold back a bit so that Quan Zhixian won't be too upset.

For example, in a funny joke, the owner of a fried chicken shop asked the five people what their relationship was and why they wanted to open a shop together?
Xiong Xinxin said Quan Zhixian is his wife and Zhang Jin is his younger brother.

The whole family works together to start a business!

Then Yuan Biao, who had just rushed in from outside the store, took out the deposit and handed it to the owner.

The owner said it was great that the whole family worked together to do business. Yuan Biao grabbed Quan Zhixian's arm and said, "Yes, I am her husband, we are family."

The owner's expression suddenly became interesting.

This kind of funny little plot is easy for Zhou Xingchi to come up with.

There are only a few jokes!
Quan Zhixian is not too bad, but Yuan Biao, Xiong Xinxin and Zou Zhaolong are a bit weak.

Take a picture and watch!

…………

Five hours later.

Li Wenyu shouted "cut" again, announcing that this one had passed. Only then did the crew completely relax. Yuan Biao, Xiong Xinxin and others took the lead in coming over to apologize.

In addition to apologizing to Li Wenyu, an apology was also made to Zhou Xingchi.

A few minutes of drama and a few funny scenes took 5 hours to shoot, and it took seven or eight takes to get it right.

Brother Biao is under a lot of pressure, let alone Zhang Jin.

After a few polite words, Li Wenyu passed a cigar to Zhou Xingchi and said, "Brother Xing, do you have any idea about Kung Fu 2?"

"If you can't make 100 million RMB or HKD this time, it's unrealistic. It's much more profitable than investing in real estate, and it's more long-term."

"Have you ever considered that you can charge for DVDs for five to ten years now? And as internet speeds become more advanced and specialized video streaming websites emerge, they'll also steadily pay you copyright fees?"

Zhou Xingchi has a good attitude.

I was completely confused by what Lao Li said, "There are websites that play videos online? Can this develop like Weibo and campus networks?"

Old Li laughed. "This kind of website is a development, but in the early stages, even if you spend hundreds of millions on genuine copyright, you won't see any results. Only by spending billions to establish a monopoly can you plan a long-term stock market recovery."

"Whether it's your film, or a Hollywood film from China Star, Shaw Brothers, Our Time, or a foreigner, who's going to let you stream it online if you don't pay?"

"But with the increase in internet speed, online streaming is more efficient and faster than renting DVDs. Sooner or later, it will replace physical DVD rental stores."

He certainly wouldn't talk about ordinary business opportunities casually.

But for video websites that burn money, it doesn’t matter.

Zhou Xingchi was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded while puffing on his cigar. "Times have really changed. They've changed so much. Ah Yu, I'm here because someone wants to ask me something."

"He wants 2000% of the campus network for $10 million. Will you sell it to him? He's the brave uncle."

"Uncle Tong is not as good as IDG in mainland China, but in Hong Kong and Macau, if you become friends with him, your path will definitely be much smoother."

Zhou Xingchi felt like vomiting blood while speaking.

He spent so much time writing the Kung Fu script and had to wait a year to do the special effects.

Also, because Columbia accounts for the majority of the investment and has to share a large share of the profits, and the publicity and distribution companies, theaters, etc. also have to share profits, he can only get 100 million or 200 million at most.

This was actually quite a surprise.

How does it compare to a tough guy like Li Wenyu? The public beta started in February and it’s only July now.

IDG's valuation is 1.5 million US dollars, and Shadantong is even tempted to offer 2 million US dollars.

Li Wenyu was speechless. "This friend is really not cheap. If I wait a few more months, it won't be difficult to catch up with Weibo's $4 million valuation."

This is still the campus network without the Happy Farm stealing vegetable game.

The main reason is that the current Internet speed, flash and other technologies are not yet fully developed.

Zhou Xingchi was speechless for a moment. After smoking his cigar for dozens of seconds, he nodded. "If it were me, I would definitely not agree. Who would lose 100 million or 200 million dollars just to make friends? Who is stupid enough?"

"Ayu, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Hong Kong Island's housing prices seem to be showing signs of recovery, but I'm not in a hurry to sell the property. I'm going to try to get Kung Fu 2 out as soon as possible. You must come to the celebration party on Saturday."

Zhou Xingchi said politely that he was about to leave.

Zhou Xingchi wants to invest solely in Kung Fu 2, but he is afraid that he won’t be able to handle global promotion and distribution!

Li Wenyu walked out to see them off, "Infernal Affairs 1 made 7800 million in mainland China. If Xiao Ming is used in the second part, it won't be difficult to break million. There's also a third part that can continue to be a big hit."

"Come on, Brother Xing. I'm also optimistic that you can turn Kung Fu into a blockbuster series of two, three, and four, and make billions of dollars from it as a big IP."

Zhou Xingchi almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

If someone said this to him, he would definitely think it was a joke or an insult, but these words were said by the God of Wealth Li Wenyu!
