"Father, do you believe him?"
Taiwan Island, Chen family.
Chen Xiangdong, who respected his father's order and personally sent Mai Xiaoyu away, put forward his doubts after returning to his study.
The purpose of Mai Xiaoyu's visit to the Chen family on Taiwan island is the same as that of his previous meeting with the young childe of Xiangjiang Yang family, that is, to snipe Qingtian once when its share price plummeted due to the failure of its acquisition.
Old man Chen didn't say anything. He looked at his eldest son and asked calmly, "what do you think?"
"With the current situation of Optimus in the secondary market and the gratitude and resentment of both sides over the years, it is operational and has a lot of profit space, but..."
"Go on."
"I don't understand why he came to us."
Mai Xiaoyu's closest partner is the seven shareholders of Hualong film. The interests of all parties are closely linked, and Mengren is regarded as one of the interest spokesmen of the other seven.
He took the lead and urged the other seven companies to join hands to win the Tang Dynasty Hotel by covering the white wolf with empty hands. He earned more than one billion for nothing, and then used the money to set up Hualong film in the United States.
Hualong film was very low-key in the early days of its establishment in the United States. Until "Twilight" was released, it earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office at the cost of tens of millions of dollars, as well as the rich returns of audio-visual products market and peripheral products, so as to show its leading role.
Then, under his operation, Hualong film was victorious.
Jointly invested with Disney in 3D fantasy blockbusters "the wizard of Wonderland" and "Alice in Wonderland".
The former was released this summer, with a global box office of more than 600 million US dollars. The market revenue of audio-visual products can be expected. It also shares the revenue of peripheral products with the help of Disney's powerful brand. Disney is eager to create "the wizard of Wonderland 2", and Warner is also preparing to develop "oz country" series films, which is enough to prove the large profit margin.
The latter will be released next year. In addition to the criticism of the heroine, other aspects are generally favored by people inside and outside the industry.
Ning Shirong overcame the Cannes Film Festival this summer, which led to the failure of Optimus's acquisition plan. However, as soon as Optimus withdrew from the acquisition, Hualong film made up the gap and successfully took over the acquisition of a theater in the United States, saving a lot of early and medium-term costs.
In addition, twilight City 2, which was released worldwide in November, and Mengren's layout in domestic film and television special effects, video websites and peripheral product development, are all in cooperation with the shareholders of Hualong film.
Meng Ren has a close relationship with Naqi family for many times. Why not ask Naqi family to come forward, but Hailian?
Chen Xiangdong couldn't figure it out.
The old man nodded without comment: "say the conclusion."
"I'm afraid he wants to use us as guns."
"Be a gunner?" the old man smiled. "Do you think he is the kind of brave, resourceless and short-sighted man?"
Meng Ren and Qingtian are as deep as the sea. In the process of growing up, he has been made difficult by Ning family in all aspects, bumping and bumping until now. It was not until it was branded with the brand of seven interest spokesmen that it finally gained a firm foothold.
Almost all this is due to Mai Xiaoyu. On the face of it, it was his decision to sign artists, make film and television dramas and invest abroad; Secretly, he did all kinds of outside moves of Ning family.
Despite Chen Qiaoen's relationship, with Mai Xiaoyu's intelligence, he will never use the sea alliance to deal with Optimus and reap profits by himself.
Because that's death.
I have a grudge against Optimus, and then offend the Sea Union. Do you really think that the identity of interest spokesman is a gold medal?
"Then why?"
Chen Xiangdong admitted that what the old man said was reasonable, but he still couldn't understand Mai Xiaoyu's practice.
Since it is expected to snipe at Optimus through the secondary market and make a lot of money, there is no reason to come to the Chen family without notifying the other seven, right?
The old man sipped tea and narrowed his eyes as if he were remembering.
Chen Xiangdong poured tea and stood aside, afraid to disturb.
More than ten minutes later, the old man said, "Xiangdong, do you remember he played chess with me on the night of my 70th birthday?"
Huh?
Chen Xiangdong was stunned.
Of course he remembered it and never fully understood it.
Afterwards, he consulted the old man, who smiled but didn't speak; I also discussed with Chen Nannan and Chen Xiangxi, but I couldn't understand it.
"There is no word on my biggest chess piece because I am not sure of his ultimate goal. But now I am sure that the temptation of fame and wealth over the years has not made him forget his original heart. No matter how he changes, he or Mai Shouzheng of the last century has not forgotten his hatred with Ning family. If you want to seek justice from Ning family, you must first pull out the big tree Qingtian."
Chen Xiangdong took a breath: "father, do you mean he wants to swallow Optimus?"
"There is no need for annexation. It is enough to take control and kick Ning family out of the power level of Optimus group."
"That's impossible! There are so many cute talents. Even if the share price of Optimus group falls badly, it's not something he can care about. Moreover, Ningjia not only holds more shares, but also has a huge network of contacts. It's not as easy as he thought to seize Ningjia's controlling stake in Optimus through the secondary market?"
"Yes, it sounds like a fantasy. That's what I can't figure out. But if you think about his character and style of behavior, that's the most reasonable explanation."
"If he really thinks so, he's crazy... Does he want to take control of Optimus through hitting Optimus again and again
"I think he wants to finish his work and solve Ning's family at one time."
"It's absolutely impossible. Not to mention that he doesn't have enough capital. Even if he does, Optimus is not a lamb to be slaughtered. As long as he increases his holdings in the secondary market or issues additional shares to people acting in concert, he can smoothly stabilize his controlling stake."
The old man smiled faintly: "if you decide, will you choose to increase holdings or private placement?"
"Holding more shares is the most secure in your own hands."
"What else do you have to worry about? Xiangdong, sometimes you think about problems and are easy to complicate. Remember, we are businessmen. In addition to major issues of right and wrong, we put interests first. Since Ningjia is likely to increase its holdings, why don't we buy at a low level?"
"I see! I'll let the investment department focus on Qingtian's stock tomorrow and choose the appropriate low point to enter..."
……
In early November, Mai Xiaoyu completed the lobbying work in Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island and returned to Yanjing.
He firmly believes that the two families will not miss this opportunity to make money. Who makes him and qingtianning's family have a deep hatred like the sea?
Low secret fund-raising. When he holds more than 5% of the shares, he officially makes a public declaration to relevant departments and raises a card to acquire Optimus group, Optimus's share price will rise all the way. For the sea alliance and the British emperor, there is a huge arbitrage space. Why not participate?
It takes a long time to operate, and it can't be realized overnight.
Therefore, after returning to Yanjing, he put the matter aside for the time being and asked Lin Yiping and Wang Yuqi to watch the sample film of Mao cheat.
The plot structure of the first season of Mao cheat is relatively simple, the plot is not complex, and the post production is not difficult. The two executive directors Lin Yiping and Wang Yuqi did a good job. Mai Xiaoyu spent a few days repeatedly reading 20 episodes of Mao cheat, pointed out a few problems and asked them to revise them according to their own opinions.
At the end of the day.
In the evening, Mai Xiaoyu came out of the gym and asked Ke Haoyi to drive him to the forgetting bar in Houhai.
In the past two years, people have taken too big steps, the workload and work intensity have increased sharply, and mistakes are inevitable in all links. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoli presided over the overall situation to ensure the smooth development of Meng people as much as possible.
He is not idle. Writing books, songs, comics and scripts are routine. He handled troubles and maintained relationships in all aspects. He participated in the production process of the first season of "run brothers" and the big film. He directed "Mao cheat" and starred in "Bu Bu Bu", and had no chance to be the shopkeeper.
There are fewer days to forget the bar.
He also came several times last year. After the Spring Festival this year, he never came again. He just talked to Wu Weiguo by phone.
Ke Haoyi was recommended by Wu Weiguo from the bar security. He met many people in the bar and stayed outside to chat; Mai Xiaoyu was invited by Wu Weiguo to the office and chatted while drinking.
Think about Mai Shouzheng in those days, and then look at Mai Xiaoyu today. Wu Weiguo is more and more filled with emotion. He always feels unreal because of his great changes.
He took Mai Xiaoyu to drink a lot of wine and said a lot of words. Finally, he joked about when Mai Xiaoyu would get married.
"When I kill the chief villain, I will invite you to my wedding."
Wu Weiguo woke up in a moment: "haven't you put it down yet?"
"Did you put it down? Did those fools put it down before?"
"But you are different!"
"Yes, I have a successful career now. I not only have money and status, but also have friends. They are friends with money, power and status. They are qualified to play and play with the law. They don't have to be played and played with the law as before."
Wu Weiguo suddenly trembled and listened to Mai Xiaoyu continue: "Lao Wu, you can get in touch with those people before, right?"
"What are you doing?"
"Don't be so nervous. I'm going to make a movie.
"Movie? What movie?"
"Nine doors."
Nine doors!
There was a buzz in Wu Weiguo's mind, and then something in his body began to boil
After leaving the forgetting bar, Wu Weiguo arranged for someone to drive Mai Xiaoyu home.
At home, Liu Tao has already taken a bath and applied a mask to wait for him.
"Where have you been? How did you drink so much?" Liu Tao took off his coat and asked with concern.
"It's all right. I sat down with Lao Wu and decided on a group of actors."
"What actor?"
"You'll know when you look back." Mai Xiaoyu hugged Liu Tao and kissed him. "Next year, the next year at the latest, I'll marry you!"
Liu Tao stroked Mai Xiaoyu's cheek and stared at him: he said, "I'll wait for you to marry me."
They stared for a moment. Mai Xiaoyu bent down and held Liu Tao in his arms: "when I was filming in Hengdian, you didn't visit my class. I'll punish you."
"Didn't you punish it after you came back? You punished it several times."
"Again tonight."
With these words, Mai Xiaoyu will go back to his bedroom with Liu Tao in his arms.
"Take a bath first."
"Wash together."
"I washed it."
"Well, wait for me to rub my back..."
In the early morning, after two fierce fights from the bathroom to the bedroom, the storm finally subsided.
Liu Tao fell in Mai Xiaoyu's arms and asked, "what's the matter with you today?"
"Nothing, just happy."
"For what?"
"I'm going to make a film next year. Would you like to guest star? I want your first kiss on the screen."
"What movie? What part are you going to make me guest?"
"When you want to jump off a building, I go to the rooftop of the building to save the United States."
"You also mean that heroes save the United States. It's clear that you lied to me."
Liu Tao's heart is sweet and hugs Mai Xiaoyu.
Mai Xiaoyu stroked her smooth waist; "Well, well, I lied to you at that time. Shall I invite you to a movie to make amends?"
"Well, we haven't seen a movie together for a long time. What movie?"
"Twilight 2."
……
The production cost of twilight 2 new moon was 55 million and the investment of cute people was 15 million. On November 20, 2009, it was released simultaneously all over the world, including China.
The box office performance of Twilight 1 is gratifying, with more than $400 million worldwide. The producer Hualong film and the domestic distributor Hailian cinema are full of expectations for the box office of the second film. Through multi-party operation, it has successfully achieved simultaneous release in China and other parts of the world.
Created by the original team, the male and female protagonists burst with popularity with the first film, and the film remuneration increased from $600000 and $2 million to $3 million and $4.5 million.
Christine, with a film remuneration of $4.5 million, won the best actress award of the 18th MTV film award and the best plot film actress award of the 11th youth Choice Award in the United States with twilight, which completely opened up the situation in Hollywood and won great popularity all over the world.
As the most popular and valuable Christine in twilight, she is still not a big star in Hollywood. Twilight 2 new moon still has no big star and no big audience... It sounds like a fantasy love movie. It's an old story of a vampire's incestuous love with human beings.
However, no one expected that after its release on November 20, "twilight 2" rolled over the popular Disney 3D fantasy blockbuster "the wizard of Wonderland" this summer!
Before Liu Tao left Yanjing to catch the announcement, Mai Xiaoyu watched the film with her in the lovers' box of the cinema.
Liu Tao's evaluation is: a little naive
Mai Xiaoyu could not refute it, because he felt the same way.
There are many voices that think the film is childish and boring, but it can't stop the popularity of twilight 2.
On the first day of its release in North America, it recorded $72.7 million, breaking last year's 67.2 million for the dark knight, setting a new box office record in North America.
With an amazing box office of $140 million in three days over the weekend, it became the third highest box office film in the first week of North American history, only inferior to 158 million in the dark knight and 151 million in spider man 3. The box office of this summer weekend was nearly 100 million. It is known as the wizard of Wonderland, which opened the prelude to 3D blockbusters.
In addition, the film premiered three days, with a total global box office of more than 260 million US dollars, which is also beyond the reach of the wizard of Wonderland.
"The more childish, the more sensational!"
This sentence has almost become the label of twilight.
You can ridicule this film unscrupulously, but you can't stop women, especially young women, from enthusiastically pursuing the Twilight series!
immature?
Some people love to see!
immature?
High box office, global!
immature?
The 3D blockbuster "the wizard of Wonderland" can't turn over!
Disney has an impulse to curse their mother and regret that they didn't ask to invest in twilight 2.
People who don't like 3D technology always like to compare "new moon" with "magic mirror" and hold "new moon" to prove that 3D blockbusters are only a flash in the pan.
This situation continued until Avatar was released worldwide
