Chapter 316 Premiere Ceremony
Xu Zheng and Niu Hao came to find Shen Fang today, apart from participating in tomorrow's premiere, they also had a task to help be a middleman.

"Let's talk, if you have something to say, you can't speak up at all." Shen Fang looked at the expressions of the two of them, and called them to the next office.

The two looked at each other, and finally Niu Hao took the initiative to say: "How much do you know about the current situation of Benma Films?"

"Brunning Horse Films?" Shen Fang thought for a while and said, "After Li Ming passed away unexpectedly, I heard that the company was in chaos. The widow Jin Yan and his sisters were all vying for the controlling stake in the company, and many projects were stalled."

"Yes, I was able to achieve success at the beginning, thanks to the help of Brother Big Dog." Niu Hao said with emotion: "This time he had an accident, which caused a big mess for Benma Films."

In order to go public, Benma Films has carried out several financings successively. The last time it signed a gambling agreement when it was financing with CCB. Silver Culture has the right to require Benma Films or any of the Li Ming brothers and sisters to acquire the equity of Benma Films held by CCB in one go.At the same time, an additional 2013% annual compound interest is also attached.

CCB Culture has invested a total of 4.5 million yuan in Benma Films. If the listing fails, according to the content of the agreement, either Benma Films or Li Ming brothers and sisters will not only have to repay 4.5 million yuan, but also repay 10% of the annual "interest". Rolling interest", according to this calculation, the total amount is as high as 4.95 million.

The three original Li Ming brothers and sisters jointly hold 58% of the shares of Benma Films, and the three control the company in the form of a family. Li Ming, as the absolute core of the family, realizes the holding of the company.But now when Li Ming went there, due to the huge debts, the three companies had disagreements and were on the verge of collapse. Seeing that the Benma Film Industry established by Big Dog was facing collapse, the three finally decided to take advantage of the fact that the market value of Benma Film and Television did not show a significant increase. In the event of a fall, sell the equity in your hand.

"How much are they going to price their equity?" Shen Fang asked.Benma Pictures really has a lot of resources that can make Shen feel at ease. It has such blockbuster films as "No Man's Land", "Wulin Biography", "Love to the End", "Longmen Bodyguard Bureau", "I Am a Special Forces Series" and so on. Copyright of the play.By the way, "My Brother's Name is Shun Liu", which is often ridiculed by netizens, is also produced by Benma Pictures.Not to mention the screenwriting resources and film and television management talents that Shen Fang coveted.

"According to the valuation of 25 billion, their 58% equity is 14.5 billion, and they will also undertake the debt of 4.95 million to repurchase CCB's equity." Niu Hao said.

Whether the price is high or not, last year CCB still invested according to the market value of 30 billion, and obtained 4.5% equity for 15 million.But today, this price is debatable. After all, Li Ming, the core person of the company, is no longer here, so this valuation is a bit high.

"Brother Gou once helped Haozi and me a lot. We are basically brought together by him. This time the capital culture is listed, Haozi and I are also worth hundreds of millions, but for Benma Films, it is still a bit difficult. It's a drop in the bucket." Xu Zheng looked at Shen Fang silently, thinking that he was hesitant because he thought that the valuation of Benma Films was too high, so he tried to persuade him again.

"Brother Niu, Brother Xu, I don't mean that. This valuation is acceptable. I'm thinking about how to integrate with Wild Fox after taking over Benma Films. The businesses of the two companies have many overlaps. After taking it down, how will the business be carried out?"

Niu Hao and Xu Zheng didn't have much idea about this question either. They were good at making films, but if they were allowed to manage the company, there was nothing they could do.

"Well, I'll talk to Mr. Huo tomorrow. Even if it's the acquisition of Benma Films, it will be done in the name of Wild Fox Company. In the end, it will be merged into the group. Mr. Huo must know." Shen Fang said: "You can tell Li Ming's widow first, I admire Brother Gou's character very much, even if the two parties do not reach an agreement in the end, I can help them pay off their debts first."

Niu Hao and the two also knew that after all, this was an acquisition involving nearly 20 billion yuan. Even if Shen Fang's funds came easily, it was impossible to make such a hasty decision.But with Shen Fang's last promise, the two of them can be regarded as repaying Brother Gou's favor.

At night, when Shen Fang and Qin Mohan talked about this matter, they couldn't help but sigh. This is the disadvantage of family management enterprises. A family has only one core. When this person has an accident, the family members must appear The phenomenon of power struggle.

"That's why you let go of the whole company and let Mr. Huo and his professionals manage the company?" Qin Mohan asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's not an excuse because you were too tired to go to work?"

"Ah, you dare to slander me like this, Qin Mohan, it seems that you haven't taught me a lesson for a long time, your skin is itchy." Shen Fang said to Qin Mohan after being told what was on his mind.

"Hehe, come on, who is afraid of whom!" Qin Mohan, whose relatives had gone away, challenged Shen Fang.

Shen Fang, who hadn't tasted meat for a week, couldn't bear it anymore, turned into a wolf, and rushed forward.All of a sudden, there was a beautiful sound, and the garden was full of spring. Even Mocha, who was locked on the balcony, couldn't help but "whoop" to the outside. Spring has really come.

On April 4rd, at 3:[-] p.m., at Yanjing Wangjing SOHO Center, Wangjing Cinemas of Jingcheng Cultural Theater Line will hold the premiere ceremony of "Left Ear" on time.

"Director Qu, hello. Who is this? Mr. Li from Mocha?" Shen Fang arrived at the scene 10 minutes before the ceremony, just in time to meet Qu Xiaoxiao who was doing the final review with a man.Looking at the man in his 40s with a fat figure in front of him, he said uncertainly.

"Young Master Shen, you have a good memory. I didn't expect you to remember me when I met you last year." This person's name is Li Mo, and he is the general manager of Yanjing Mocha Event Planning Company. They were responsible for the wedding planning when Tao Chengren got married last year.In addition to weddings, their company also undertakes all event planning. At that time, he left a business card for Shen Fang, and Shen Fang gave it to Qu Xiaoxiao from the public relations department.

"Mr. Li, your company undertook the premiere this time? Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Fang couldn't help but praise the grand yet delicate layout of the scene.

"Young Master Shen, it's not my old Li Chui. In Yanjing, there is no event that I can't undertake, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed. It is definitely better than other people's quality at the same price." Li Mo promised confidently, this is This is the first cooperation with Wild Fox Company, and it is also Wild Fox's first movie premiere this year. Li Mo took over this project with the attitude of keeping capital.

Shen Fang explained to him and Qu Xiaoxiao a few more words before leaving.Today, he is the organizer of the event and the producer of the film. When the ceremony begins, he will accompany Qin Mohan into the arena.

"Honey, you are really beautiful today!" Shen Fang couldn't help but praise Qin Mohan in the mirror.

In order to fit Li Er's temperament in the "Left Ear" movie, Qin Mohan did not wear a sexy dress that can show off her figure today. Instead, she chose a minimalist white dress under Chen Lan's suggestion. It is pure, clean and not exaggerated. She tied a high ponytail to reveal her slender neck, and wore an emerald jade pendant bought in Xiangjiang, which is pure and noble.

Qin Mohan blocked his approaching mouth with his hands, and said hastily, "I have received your compliment, but don't expect me to kiss you, and others will laugh at me if I mess up my makeup."

There are quite a lot of stars who came to join the premiere ceremony today. Apart from Xu Zheng, Niu Hao, and Tao Hong who are relatively free now, Huang Bo, Zhao Yan, and Zhang Yi, the crew of "Dear" who have just finished filming, all came to join in the show. The crew of "Langya Bang" also wanted to come, but Shen Fang dissuaded them in the end. It was too troublesome to come back from Hengdian for a premiere, plus some friends from Yanjing film and television circles such as Huang Lei, He Jiong, Chen Shu, Wu Jing Wait, a premiere gathered dozens of stars.

Among them, the entrance of Shen Fang and Qin Mohan attracted the most attention. In order to match Qin Mohan, Shen Fang also wore a white suit. Under Chen Lan's suggestion, Chen Lan's original hairstyle had been kept on for years. It was cut into a delicate short haircut to cover the scar on the forehead, making it less harsh.If it is said that Shen Fang was too masculine in the past, but the short hair now makes him a little more elegant.

The host of the premiere this time invited Liu Yan from Guangxian Media. This was also a signal to Wang Changtian that he would stand at attention when he was beaten. I know what you did, and I responded.But I don't want everyone to really tear their faces apart. I handed over the steps to you and invited the hosts under your banner. Whether we are enemies or friends depends on your attitude in the future.

The premiere ceremony officially began. Liu Yan invited the director and main actors to the stage, and Shen Fang, as a behind-the-scenes staff, watched their performance off the stage.

First, Liu Yan asked about the filming experience of the film on behalf of the fans, and several leading actors and directors also shared interesting things encountered during the filming process.Afterwards, the media interviews began. The first few media members asked some popular questions in a very easy-going manner, and the leading actors also answered them. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Just when Liu Yan thought the ceremony was about to end, a strange The reporter asked a relatively sharp question.

This is a reporter from "Southern Metropolis Weekly Entertainment Report". When Liu Yan clicked on her, he asked Xue Xiaolu a question: "Hi Director Xue, I am a reporter from Huaxia Film Report. After the success of "Beijing Meets Seattle" and the film "Left Ear", aren't you afraid that the reputation you have finally built up will be ruined like this?"

Xue Xiaolu stopped Liu Yan from trying to stop the reporter, and asked directly: "This reporter, on what basis did you raise this question? What basis do you have to judge that this movie will be smashed?"

The reporter saw that he had successfully attracted the attention of the media present, and said loudly: "As we all know, the investor of this film is Wild Fox Film and Television, and the leading actor of this film, Qin Mohan, is the girlfriend of Shen Fang, the boss of Wild Fox Film and Television. This is obviously just a movie about a rich man adoring his girlfriend, isn't it doubtful? There are many similar movies in the circle, and without exception, they hit the street."

Xue Xiaolu laughed angrily at his logic. If others fail, we must not succeed. What kind of gangster logic is this?She stopped Qin Mohan and others who were angry, and said to the media people present: "I am a good friend with Rao Man, the author of the novel "Left Ear". I was tempted when she adapted this novel into a script 10 years ago." , but I had an appointment with another company at the time, so I missed it for a while. Later, Mr. Huo found me and gave me the script of this film to direct, and gave me a lot of authority, including choosing role rights." Then Xue Xiaolu talked about his origins with this script, this is not the film he took because of his salary.

"When I was confirming the actor, Rao Man and we had to choose it for several days without confirming it. In the end, a photo of Qin Mohan's admission to the drama school attracted me." Xue Xiaolu arranged for the staff, and released I saw the photo prepared by Qu Xiaoxiao in advance. In the photo, Qin Mohan was wearing no makeup, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans, looking extremely pure and clean under the sun.This was captured by a senior sister studying photography when Qin Mohan registered as a freshman.

"Did you see it? It's because of this photo that Rao Man and I confirmed that she is Li Er in the novel." Xue Xiaolu looked at the reporter of Nandu Weekly, and reprimanded him with a heavier tone: "This reporter friend, you You didn’t even watch the movie, but you made out of nothing and judged us out of thin air, denying our hard work for several months, who gave you the right to do this?” Shen Fang, who was sitting under the stage, looked at it not far away. Qu Xiaoxiao nodded. Xue Xiaolu's remarks were designated by the PR department in advance to prevent such emergencies. Unexpectedly, some malicious media actually asked this question.

Xue Xiaolu looked at the reporter from Nandu Weekly who was speechless in the audience, and gave him more strength and said: "When we discuss whether a film is successful, we basically use the box office as the evaluation criterion. Today, since the reporter from Nandu Weekly predicts the success of our film It will hit the street, so we might as well make a bet, I predict that the final box office of this film will exceed [-] million, I wonder if you dare to make this bet?"

"[-] million? Are you sure? We'll take it." Hearing Xue Xiaolu's prediction, the reporter from Southern Metropolis Weekly became interested again. Although this film has Qin Mohan's traffic bonus, the outside world's predictions generally do not exceed [-] million.

At this time, Shen Fang came to the stage from below the stage, and said to the reporter of Nandu Weekly: "Okay, since you should make a bet, let's talk about the bet. If the box office does not exceed [-] million, we will make it on the front page of your magazine." Advertisement for the entire issue, the above content is "Sorry, we bragged!" On the other hand, if the box office exceeds [-] million, please publish an apology news on the front page of your issue. How about it? With so many media friends present, do you dare to bet on it? Bundle."

"Okay, since Boss Shen has the taste, let's take a gamble." Seeing that today's goal has been achieved, the reporter sat down obediently and did not speak after agreeing.

Seeing that the premiere time was approaching, Liu Yan was afraid that some thorny reporter would come out and ask some inappropriate topics, so she hastily announced the end of the media interview.
