China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

It is said that doing business, no matter how big or small, actually depends on whether the other party is buying or selling in good faith.

It's okay if you trade sincerely, no matter how many differences there are, you can always reach an agreement.

But if you encounter the kind of one that raises the price on the ground and breaks its promise, it is best not to take it no matter how cheap it is.

Because there will definitely be all kinds of shit troubles in the future.

Fortunately, Brother Big Dog is not such a person!

In fact, Gao Fei and Brother Big Dog don't know each other.

Although there was a time when the media in the industry called Xiao Ma and Zhou Yi the twin stars of the Chinese film and television industry.

But in fact, he and Brother Big Dog have never even met once.

After Zhouyi was successfully listed and skyrocketed, there were even fewer opportunities for the two parties to deal with each other.

But even so, through some private news channels, Gao Fei still has some understanding of Big Dog Brother.

……

Brother Big Dog, that is, Li Big Dog, whose real name is Li Ming.

After graduating from Guangyuan, he started his business by doing advertisements, then turned to TV dramas, and founded Galloping Horse single-handedly. He has been in the business world for decades.

Because he was born in a military family, he is very popular in the world, and he is very heroic.

That's why he was nicknamed "Big Dog Brother" by his friends just now.

Of course, it is impossible to do business by relying on the arrogance of the rivers and lakes alone.

Brother Big Dog is able to be what he is today, of course there are connections at the top.

Otherwise, Remington would not have been acting as an agent for CCTV advertising as its main business.

You must know that this business is not something ordinary people can do.

If the relationship is not in place, no matter how high the agency fee is, it will be in vain!
It's just that "you will prosper with this, and you will die with it."

At the beginning, Remington relied on his connections to dominate the advertising industry, and even forced the Huayi Brothers to switch to making movies. It is inevitable that they will be implicated in the future.

According to Gao Fei's understanding, the reason why Xiaoma's listing journey is so difficult this time is actually due to upper-level reasons.

Because the backer on Brother Big Dog didn't retreat, but fell down.

This made the relevant interest groups all be temporarily classified into separate files for filing.

Regarding this point, when Gao Fei was drinking tea with Brother Big Dog, he also briefly mentioned a few words.

If there is a chance to do it again, Brother Big Dog actually wants to be as pure as Gao Fei.

He didn't understand until today that business is business, politics is politics, and it's best not to confuse the two.

People with real business acumen never think about taking shortcuts to start a business.

Because the foundation of a business empire built in this way will always be floating.

From this perspective, Brother Big Dog is actually very envious of Gao Fei.

After all, through some private news channels, he knew that although Gao Fei hadn't entered into that circle, some seniors actually admired him.

Of course, part of this is naturally due to the accident in 08.

But more and more, Huayi Brothers' behavior has disappointed some people more and more.

Therefore, after Huayi's path became more and more deviant, some talents gradually turned their attention to Zhouyi.

It's just that from the beginning to the end, Gao Fei didn't know their existence, and they didn't have any contact with Gao Fei in private.

The whole process is business-like, and there is nothing that cannot be said to others!
And this is where Brother Big Dog is most jealous of Gao Fei.

After all, in this way, although Zhou Yi does not have an extra help, it also reduces additional risks.

And for a company, sometimes having a relatively fair environment and being able to develop without being disturbed is actually the biggest help.

But then again, it's too late for Brother Big Dog to say anything.

So after the people below talked about the same, the two of them had a brief chat and then settled the matter.

3.58 million soft sister coins, or about 5000 million U.S. dollars.

This is the final consensus reached by the two parties!

That is to say, in more than a year, Xiaoma has reaped nearly 3000 million U.S. dollars, or about 1.84 million yuan, by "reselling" Digital Domain.

On the surface, Galloping Horse's initial acquisition of "Digital Domain" was indeed not a failure.

But if the losses since the acquisition of "Digital Domain" are included, Xiao Ma has actually made a lot of hard money this time.

After all, the reason why Cameron sold the "Digital Domain" was that he couldn't afford it.

We must know that the film and television special effects industry is not an ordinary assembly line factory, and it is not easy to recruit just one person.

Therefore, even if the special effects company works for half a year and takes half a year off.

But most of the bosses of special effects companies still have to spend money to support these great masters.

Because if these people leave, they won't even be able to make half a year's profit.

And this is why after the partner of "Digital Domain" left, he was very pessimistic about the future of the special effects industry.

Because he can't see any hope of making a profit in special effects companies in Hollywood.

Of course, this wave of Zhou Yi did not suffer.

After all, as an internationally renowned film and television special effects company, Digital Domain's strength is not something to boast about.

With the industry's top CG technology research and development capabilities, Digital Domain, in addition to holding 7 Oscars and being nominated for [-] Oscars for visual effects, has such a false reputation, it also has the ability to suppress the bottom of the box.

Such as:

Self-developed track (sensing tracking software)
nuke (digital compositing software) storm (rendering engine)
And patents in the field of film and television special effects such as "fluid simulation system" are the foundation for Digital Domain to have such a great reputation today.

In addition to the production of special effects for movies, Digital Domain also provides production services for TV commercials, games, and music videos, and especially has the world's only core technology "virtual human technology".

After Cameron founded the "Digital Domain", because he was half a scientist, he was very willing to invest in technology.

Among them, the "virtual human production" business was promoted by Cameron at the beginning.

However, his vision was a little too far ahead.

As a result, the technology has been developed, but there are no applicable scenarios.

Then a very strange situation occurred.

That is, the strength of "Digital Domain" in terms of technology and patents is getting stronger and stronger, and the company is losing more and more money.

If not, Hollywood, and even various capitals in North America, would not shy away from the "Digital Domain".

After all, there are people in the decapitation business, but no one in the loss-making business!
……

Soon, after Gao Fei sent off Brother Big Dog with emotion, Jiang Hong came in excitedly.

In other words, she knew about Gao Fei's plan.

Therefore, if you want to say who is the happiest in the entire company for this acquisition of "Digital Domain", I am afraid it is her.

Seeing her like this, Gao Fei immediately smiled slightly and said:

"Okay, don't be too happy."

"This is the first step. Whether or not all the companies in the group can be connected together depends on whether it goes well in the future!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hong immediately said with emotion:

"Mr. Gao, don't worry, this thing will definitely happen."

"I'll leave for Chengdu in the afternoon, and promise to buy you some powerful game studios."

Seeing what she said, Gao Fei nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay then, I'll leave the game section to you."

Speaking of this, Gao Fei looked at Jiang Hong very solemnly and said:
"Digital Domain must reform!"

"Otherwise, with its original business logic, it will never be possible to make a profit!"

"And the game sector will be an important part of Digital Domain, so you must keep an eye on it."

After beating Jiang Hong, Gao Fei turned around and left Zhouyi Building.

Because the game segment is just one of the legs of the Digital Domain.

In addition, it needs one leg to truly walk on two legs.

As for the other leg, it is naturally the special effects training that Gao Fei has been eyeing for a long time.

After all, the facts are now clear:
The original business model of Digital Domain did not work, and the industry ecology in the field of Hollywood film and television special effects was also flawed.

So Gao Fei naturally can't be confined to the old routines of the Americans, he has to find a way to find his own way!
Isn't it because the industry ecology is not perfect?
Then create an industry ecology with Chinese characteristics!

Of course, there will always be some mistakes when crossing the river by feeling the stones.

But Gao Fei believes that Yu Minhong should understand!
Why do you say that?
Haha, well, it's really embarrassing to say that.

Because he poached Qiu Wu, the director of the training department of New Oriental!
But he dared to swear to the lamp, this time he really didn't mean it.

Among the candidates recommended by the real headhunters, only Qiu Wu's resume is the most suitable.

The second is not in the same class as him at all, so how can you let Gao Fei choose!

However, as a veteran who has followed New Oriental's growth all the way, Qiu Wuneng was so easily poached by Gao Fei, and Yu Minhong is actually to blame.

After all, if it weren't for Yu Minhong's too independent temper, the people below would not want to leave so much.

Of course, this cannot be said in front of Yu Minhong.

……

"Mr. Yu, it's really not that I poached people on purpose, it's just a coincidence of headhunting."

"No, where did you say, there is no beauty trick, am I that kind of person?"

"Hey~Old Yu, what are you talking about? Don't push your nose on your face!"

"I said, why are you so small-minded? We are all old brothers who started a business together. If you get rich, why don't others get rich?"

"Besides, you have already achieved this in the domestic English training industry, and there is not much room for improvement if you continue to do it!"

"That's right, that's right, Lao Qiu just wants to challenge himself, after all, you can't start to provide for the elderly at a young age, right?"

After half an hour, Gao Fei finally hung up the phone.

Gao Fei, who was already thirsty, threw his phone on the table, and complained helplessly:
"Why don't you just poach someone, why is the reaction so big!"

Although Gao Fei was well prepared, he did not expect Yu Minhong's reaction to be so intense.

With that posture, he almost wished to bring a knife to him for a high-end duel in a business war.

Fortunately, Gao Fei was smooth-talking, so he calmed down the irritable Yu Minhong just now.

Otherwise, Qiu Wu's resignation would be really troublesome.

It's just that Han Li on the other side of the sofa was amused when he said this.

"Boss, I think it's really no wonder Mr. Yu."

"You must know that New Oriental's core business is training, but you just poached the general of his training department. It's no wonder Mr. Yu is not in a hurry!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei quickly changed the subject after taking a sip of tea in embarrassment.

"By the way, what's going on with the Hong Kong stock market? Have you found a suitable shell?"

Seeing Gao Fei mentioning this matter, Han Li suddenly couldn't care less about the topic just now, and immediately straightened her face.

"There are already several choices, I would recommend Century Sage Scientific【1450.HK】"

"This company has been established since 2007. Its main business is a software and hardware video application solution provider. It still has some capabilities in sports event broadcasting services and event operations."

"If this shell is used to list on the Hong Kong stock market, it will also help the operation of the Xiong'an Cup Equestrian Charity Competition in the later stage."

"The most important thing is that the company's current market value continues to slump, and the total market value has been maintained between 1-2 million Hong Kong dollars, so the cost of buying a "shell" will not be too high."

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything.

After all, although he has already made up his mind to let Digital Domain go public on the Hong Kong stock market through a backdoor.

However, it is necessary to proceed with caution in how to proceed.

But then again, for domestic companies, the operation of backdoor listing in Hong Kong is actually nothing new.

In fact, since 2012, there has been an upsurge of mainland companies going to Hong Kong for backdoor listing in China.

The reason why this phenomenon occurs is actually directly related to the eighth and ninth A-share IPO suspension window periods, which are two long periods of time.

Of course, the relatively loose regulatory policies of the Hong Kong stock market are also a major incentive for mainland companies to go to Hong Kong for backdooring.

For example, when Orange Sky acquired Golden Harvest Films, it was actually a typical backdoor listing.

It's a pity that although Wu Kebo's financial methods are good, he doesn't want to make film and television production.

So it was obvious that Orange Sky Golden Harvest was the number one film and television stock in China, but it was suddenly played by him as a penny stock.

So far, Orange Sky has almost become a joke in the entertainment industry.

Of course, although Wu Kebo's backdoor listing failed in the end, it does not mean that there is a problem with this operation.

At least compared to normal IPOs, backdoor listings do not require disclosure of historical information and detailed equity changes.

Therefore, through the backdoor listing, Digital Domain can avoid the due diligence procedures of related parties.

Because backdoor listing in Hong Kong stocks is essentially a merger and acquisition between companies.

In this way, there are naturally no hard indicators such as profitability, and the listing conditions.

And this is actually the greatest significance of "backdoor listing".

If all goes well, then within 1-2 years, Goofy will be able to make Digital Domain listed on the Hong Kong stock market.

Of course, if you gain something, you lose something.

Although the backdoor listing is faster than the normal IPO, it is precisely because of this reason that the funds raised by the company after the backdoor listing will be far less than the effect of the normal IPO.

But for Gao Fei, these are not big problems.

Because what he needs is the financing channel of the listed platform.

As for his patience, he has no need to rely on "Digital Domain" to make quick money in Hong Kong stocks.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Huayi Brothers.

Because after the listing, the Wang brothers also spent 1.48 million yuan to acquire a 22% stake in Palm Fun Technology and became its second largest shareholder.

And this is the only thing Gao Fei thinks the Wang brothers did right.

Although the current income of most film and television companies is far less than Penguin's game business income.

But there is no doubt that the national influence of film and television dramas is far above that of games.

Therefore, if the influence of film and television dramas can be organically combined with games, there will be a lot to do in the future.

But it's a pity that the Wang family brothers are still too impatient.

In order to maintain the brilliance of Huayi's annual report, not only did it not try to increase its holdings after the listing of Palm Fun Technology, but instead reduced its holdings every year to cash out, in order to beautify the financial statements.

As a result, Hua Yi's future with unlimited potential was strangled in the cradle.

Even in the process, the Wang brothers obtained dozens of times the return on investment, and the stock price of Huayi was also excited for a while because they kept cashing out Palm Fun Technology.

But in Gao Fei's view, the Wang brothers are still too short-sighted.

No, neither can be said to be short-sighted.

Because this is simply because I think I have developed too well, and deliberately make it more difficult for myself!

……

2013, April 8.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiong'an Racecourse.

Taking advantage of the evening breeze, when Gao Fei avoided the scorching heat and rode Heifeng for a walk along the shore, he heard the sound of horseshoes from behind him, so he couldn't help but look back, only to find that it was Yang Mi, who was wearing a female knight uniform, galloping towards the galloping horse.

Not to mention, that heroic appearance really has a special charm.

Influenced by Gao Fei, almost all the stars under Zhou Yi, male or female, are good at equestrian skills.

And this also makes them filming, as long as there are horse riding scenes, they are almost all real.

Clean and tidy, never playing anything imaginary.

This is almost becoming a major label for Zhouyi artists in the entertainment industry.

Goofy has heard about this too.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, such a label of health and vitality was better than Huayi's notorious reputation.

Seeing Yang Mi's appearance, Gao Fei simply stopped in place and waited for a while.

After she caught up panting, Gao Fei just reined in his horse and rode close to him, keeping pace with him.

"How did you come?"

"Hasn't "The Year in a Hurry" already started, why haven't you joined the group yet?"

Yang Mi glared at him coquettishly when he heard the words, and said angrily:

"It's not because of you!"

It is said that since "To Youth" won nearly one billion box office not long ago, it has completely detonated the category of youth films in China.

All of a sudden, major film and television companies set up projects one after another.

As a result, Zhou Yi's stars have received similar movie invitations.

For example, Nazha took a piece of "You at the Same Table".

It's just that Yang Mi's "The Year in a Hurry" is different from these movies.

As early as before "To Youth" was released, this "The Year in a Hurry" was approved.

Because of investment reasons, it has been delayed until recently.

But hearing Yang Mi's words, Gao Fei was stunned.

"You have to talk about the Basic Law even if you are being blamed!"

Gao Fei Dang even said with an innocent face:

"I didn't touch this project from the beginning to the end, why is it on me again?"

Hearing this remark made Yang Mi laugh out loud.

After a while, she who was trembling with laughter just stroked her messy long hair, and explained with a smile on her face:

"This time I really didn't wrong you!"

"Originally, the choice of actor has been decided long ago, but who would have thought that you would be so perverted!"

"A youth film can even win 9.9 million box office!"

"So the group of investors started to play various kinds of Cypriots again, and the director also wanted to strengthen the cast."

"Anyway, other than me, other roles are temporarily undecided."

"How do I join the team in this situation? How do I turn it on?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei was dumbfounded.

If so, it's really his fault.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, you are right."

After all, with a little effort on his legs, he immediately galloped on Heifeng again.

Yang Mi was so angry that he waved his whip bitterly, and followed closely.

So, he ran away, she chased, and she couldn't fly.

Of course, even if he caught up, Yang Mi didn't do anything to Gao Fei.

However, after a horse race, both of them felt much refreshed.

So on the way back from leading the horse, Yang Mi finally talked about her reason for coming...
