Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 192 Why are you getting shorter and shorter? [Subscribe]

January 1th, the third day of Squid Game’s premiere.

Old Li was taking a nap on the 15th floor of the Time Media Building when he found himself attacked.

This is Dong Li coming back.

Junior Sister Lingling’s screen time in “John Wick” is far less than that of the main female lead Gao Yuanyuan.

It officially started filming on November 11 last year, and it has been more than 29 days now?

The filming of Dong Li's role was completed in less than 15 days.

She was kept there by Da Meiyu and was not allowed to return to Beijing.

Da Meiyu is all about sisterhood. Don't leave her alone on the peninsula. She will be too lonely and it will be a drag.

A few hours later.

After eating and drinking her fill, Dong Li smiled sweetly and said, "It's a shame to be Yuanyuan's sister, but she's been filming for over a month and is almost done."

"Brother, you finally made Xiao Tong famous."

"The first episode had a 19% viewership rating, and the second episode had a 21% rating. The trend is still very stable."

The first broadcast of Squid Game in mainland China attracted countless viewers, and countless Deng Xiaoping fans were eager to watch the show, but its ratings were not as high as the initial launch of (Goblin).

This is just into the fourth week of (Perfect Strangers) being in theaters.

And it’s the third day of the twelfth lunar month.

Media Asia's (Initial D) has also been released, and Jay Chou has started promoting it and going on roadshows and performing.

Jay Chou has a lot of fans and can attract many people to go to the cinema.

Initial D also tried to invite time-based actors and actresses like Huang Xiaoming and Dong Li many times but failed, and finally invited Chen Guanxi and Gillian Chung.

Although their popularity in mainland China is far less than that of their original tracks, they still have quite a few fans.

Twins has been in the music industry for several years and still has a large number of fans.

You can make some money from the roadshow.

Media Asia's Lao Lin is also helpless. Besides Perfect Strangers, the Lunar New Year films he is eyeing include Jackie Chan and Jet Li's respective blockbusters.

Including Hong Yubao's (Menglong) also invited Jiang Shuying to participate in the roadshow.

With the existence of these blockbusters, Perfect Strangers' box office starts higher than (Crazy Stone), but the final data is likely to be lower than Stone.

Jackie Chan (Project Baby) and Ajie (Black Mask 3) also have their own fan bases.

Dong Li ran over to pour two more cups of herbal tea and asked curiously, "With the popularity of Squidward Tensor, will it boost sales of the first and second installments of The Hunger Games?"

This is all battle royale in nature.

Old Li laughed, "That doesn't matter. Compared to big movies, book royalties are just a drop in the bucket."

Dong Ling smiled. "That's right. Weibo's IPO ringing ceremony will be held on the Lantern Festival? There's only a little over a month left."

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s review has been going on for some time.

The final date is set to be the Lantern Festival, which is February 2rd.

In the next 50 days, (John Wick 1) will be released in conjunction with the release date starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Wenyu lit a cigarette and said, "I'll make a lot of money if it goes public. It'll be a quick buck for Weibo's development."

"But Weibo's starting point is relatively high. Besides buying a house, you can also use your money to buy Apple stock in the United States through Hong Kong Island."

"Apple's market capitalization is now $20-30 billion. You and Xiaotong can use your money to buy it slowly."

Taking Penguin's original track listing as an example, the total share capital was 16.81 billion shares. When it was listed, it had small shareholders including Pony Ma's team, South African Newspaper Group, IDG, etc.

4.2 million shares flowed into the stock market, with an issue price of HK$3.7 per share, which is a 25% ratio. More than HK$15 billion was raised, and the market value at the initial stage of listing was over HK$ billion.

This level is also roughly the same, with the earliest entry into the market being between 25% and 30%.

It was bought up by Lao Li, and the stock price soared all the way to over 300 billion, floated for a while and then fell back.

The original track of Weibo was to be listed on the Nasdaq, issuing 1680 million shares at $17 per share, raising $2.856 million in the stock market.

Lao Li’s listing plan is similar and has been discussed long ago.

He released 60% of the 10% in his hands, and IDG's Xiong Xiaoge + Samsung's Lee Jae-yong released 25%, which is %.

Our goal is to raise 25% of HK$50 billion.

The issue price is set at HK$200 billion, the total market value of the group.

The 50 billion yuan belongs to Weibo Group and is public funds, which can only be used for the development of Weibo. However, there are many big things that can be done with 50 billion yuan.

You said that Penguin's initial bid was 200 to billion, and it was because of him that the current situation came about. What confidence does Weibo have in setting a bid of billion?
This is the largest online promotion and marketing platform giant in East Asia and Southeast Asia!

A platform for speaking out, a channel for expressing opinions, etc.

It is equivalent to a combination of TV stations, newspapers and magazines in the era of print media. Time Weibo dominates East Asia and Southeast Asia.

This kind of big company has the attributes of making a lot of money from advertising. From Murdoch to SoftBank and Judas behind Jack Ma, they were rejected time and time again.

In order to exert influence and control over the platform to drive the rhythm of public opinion, they will all go out to buy things.

This way you don’t have to worry about your issue price being too high and the stock price falling below the issue price after listing.

At this stage, many official units in the mainland, as well as official units in Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have registered certified official accounts and often express their opinions through the platforms.

Lao Li will not let his Weibo shares fall below 35% within the next ten years, and there will be no "same shares, different voting rights" system in Hong Kong stocks within the next ten years.

So a few years later, Alibaba withdrew from the Hong Kong stock market and went to New York for listing. In order to ensure control over the company's decision-making, JD.com's Daqiangzi also went to the United States to play AB stocks.

They all belong to the founders, and their personal shareholding ratio is getting smaller and smaller, but their voting decision-making power has not decreased.

Dong Li smiled brightly at his words, "Are you arranging a new inheritance for Xiao Tong, Yuan Yuan, and me? That's fine."

"Before, only Sister Bingbing and Sister Xin received guidance. I envied them but didn't dare to speak up. I wasn't envious of whether they could get rich."

"The stocks they bought haven't fluctuated much in the past two years. I felt like you didn't really treat me as your own. Now I feel like we're family."

Old Li, “…”

Anyway, it’s all their income from running around.

He was about to say something else when a text message rang, "Li, this is Steve Jobs from Apple. I'm really willing to pay a large sum to buy out some of your mobile phone design patents."

"I'm sincere. I'm offering $300 million per patent. I only need a few. You can provide the permanent transfer rights."

This was the Nth time that Jobs had harassed him in the past six months.

He did not register all the smartphone design patents.

This is just like grabbing a domain name. The early bird gets the worm. Once you have an inspiration to design a certain look, apply for registration and if you can monopolize it, you’ll have it.

But the iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and then iPhone , , and are all in Lao Li's hands.

Regardless of how far Steve Jobs, who has already started developing the iOS operating system, has planned for Apple, he is now the owner of several generations of smartphones.

It represents the perfect crystallization of what Joe wants and dreams of the most.

A permanent patent transfer for $300 million?
It's very sincere. Theoretically, this is a mobile phone that needs to sell 300 million units worldwide to accumulate this much.

But in the future, Apple will sue Samsung for 20 billion US dollars in patent infringement!

The claim is not just for appearance infringement, there are other claims as well.

But asking for $20 billion is also a huge ask.

As time flies, the new year's winter vacation and Spring Festival are getting closer and closer.

Beijing TV once again set off a viewing frenzy by broadcasting (Squid Game).

There are many things to do during the Chinese New Year period, and migrant workers have started returning home in batches early on.

Various factors can affect ratings.

But Squid still had a viewership rate of 23% in the third episode, 26% in the fifth episode, and a peak of 28% in the seventh episode.

This is not as high as the record of the rebroadcast of "My Love from the Star", nor is it as great as the myth that "Goblin" created when it was first broadcast.

But it is still no problem to call it the king of period dramas.

Tong Liya completely took off and became a huge star.

The last-minute invitations to the Spring Festival Gala all came to the Time Building and blocked the crowds.

In fact, as early as when "Goblin" was a huge hit, CCTV also offered Spring Festival Gala projects to Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying, and also to Tong Liya.

It was Xiao Tong who didn’t answer.

At that time, she was already one of the four beauties of the time!

Even though major film and television projects are still in the pipeline, their popularity cannot be stopped.

At the end of this year, with the bombardment of "Perfect Stranger" and "Squid", her popularity easily suppressed Yang Mi.

January 1th is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the finale of the ninth episode of Squid Game, the ratings of Beijing TV officially broke 30% and reached 32%.

The official Weibo accounts of Deng Xiaoping, Tong Liya and others were almost paralyzed and crashed by countless netizens and fans.

Countless people were flooding the screen with comments, crying out that the poor heroine Xiao Tong died so tragically.

The death was so sad and helpless that it makes people want to cry.

There are also countless netizens who are flooding the screen with Tu Dengqi's updates, complaining about Lao Deng, why are the dramas of your time king so short?

This is a puzzling question.

My Love from the Star has 21 episodes, Dark Glory has 16 episodes, Goblin has 20 episodes, and now it’s Squidward’s turn. Your outrageous 9 episodes is the end?
Grass is a plant. Look at how "Return of the Condor Heroes" expanded from 24 episodes in the first part to 40 episodes in the third part?

Various other TV series are also getting longer and longer.

They finally came across a great drama and a big project, but is it easy to catch up?
As a result, you are getting shorter and shorter!
It is in this case.

On January 1, Lao Li arrived at the Media Building in a car driven by Da Meiyuan, and saw Huang Xiaoming and Blake Lively waiting on the second floor of the underground parking lot.

After Lao Li got out of the car, he greeted them with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work recently. You can leave now to film the second season of The Big Bang Theory. Warner Bros. Television can't wait and has urged us many times."

It's not just Warner Bros. TV that's pushing for it, even the TV stations that are broadcasting it are pushing for it.

Because there is fierce competition among television networks in the United States.

If you don’t have good projects, big projects, how can you increase ratings?
How to sell advertising if the ratings are low?
When you come across a good comedy like "The Big Bang Theory", which is steadily promoted season after season, it is easy for everyone to win over a large group of people without any effort.

The original trajectory was the Hollywood screenwriters and producers strike in 08, which led to the unfinished Prison Break series.

Others were affected and were launched more than a year later. The different dramas were almost spread throughout the entire American drama circle.

There is no such thing. Every production team that goes to the TV station is in urgent need of stable updates on the drama king.

Lao Huang and Blake started their roadshow on December 12 and continued for nearly a month.

This is the same as Deng Xiaoping's team.

The result is that (Perfect Strangers) has accumulated a box office of 2.85 million yuan in the mainland, and this is the fifth week of its release.

The total accumulated decline of Harbour City was HK$1.23 million.

Jackie Chan's (Baby Project) has been released in Harbour City, and Deng Xiaoping has now turned to helping Jackie Chan with roadshows.

Huang Xiaoming flattered her politely for a while before saying, "Boss, since Miss Gao's action movie might be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

"I can also push it a little further and run around for a few days to help out."

Da Meiyu flew back from the peninsula the day before yesterday. After enjoying herself in different places for two days, she decided to follow Lao Li to do post-production.

Li Wenyu is not the director of this movie, so he still has to spend a few days on post-production editing.

Strive to be the best.

Blake nodded hurriedly, "Boss, I can too."

This is not a matter of money. From the beginning of September last year to now, Blake has been using the prescription given by Lao Li, including occasionally giving her a bottle of ready-made Chinese medicine ointment.

After more than four months of treatment, her skin had many spots, thick hair, large pores, and strong body odor, and other problems were solved.

Being controlled is so much better than most white women!

And as long as Blake goes to find Alexandra... Alexandra has been busy improving her acting and singing skills recently.

Blake contacted her several times and was sure that Lao Li had more advanced beauty care packages.

Alexandra has better skin than many East Asian girls.

The girl's skin is white, moist and elastic, which makes people wonder if she has been kicked out of the white ethnic group.

Old Li waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Eat your meal, you can leave now."

They have been doing a lot of roadshows recently, and they are all film projects in which they are not involved.

If you help (John Wick) run again, the effect will be reduced step by step.

To be honest, with Deng Xiaoping's good singing skills, it would be better to let him hold a concert instead of going on roadshows like this, and spend a little money to pay for him to sing a bunch of popular songs.

If Lao Deng holds dozens of tours, the income from tickets and peripherals will be higher than the total box office of (Stone) and (Squid)!
After Huang and Blake expressed their loyalty for a while and were rejected, they thanked him and left.

As Da Meiyuan followed him into the elevator, she laughed and said, "The contrast between Huang Xiaoming and Blake on screen is so funny."

"Now I'm kind of looking forward to the second season of The Big Bang Theory."

"By the way, how much did Gong Li spend to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a TV or Movie Drama? She really made it happen."

It’s only January 1th, and the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was four days ago.

Lao Li is gone, and he didn't win the trophy despite being nominated for Best Director. Gong Li won the award successfully, which set a precedent for Chinese actresses. She can't get off the list anymore.

This is a bigger precedent than the one Zhang Guorong set last time, after all, Brother Rong did not win the award.

Old Li was speechless.

The elevator went up to the 15th floor, and he smiled as he left, "Sister Gong is almost bankrupt. She's so poor she has to borrow money to spend."

"But when it comes to awards, she's completely done it all. She's won a Golden Globe, but only had an Oscar nomination but no trophy."

The situation created by Gong Li will still have to last until 20 years later, when the Chinese film and television circles will no longer be interested in Hollywood and will no longer go there to play.

Only then would Yang Ziqiong break this monopoly.

How much did Lao Yang sacrifice at that time?
Gong Li is quite cruel to herself. In 04, she helped Lao Li to go to Berlin, and this time to Hollywood, and she really spent all her family fortune.

Of course, winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in 2005 was also a new peak for her. She had fame, and she made money from commercial endorsements and other means, including film pay.

It will also reach new heights!
Originally, she received $500 million for her role in Miami Vice, but now it’s at least $800 million!
