It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1002 I like it! I like it too! I don’t like it…

“In December…Longwei Media and Wanjia Group formally signed an equity transfer agreement, with the former announcing that it would pay 12 billion yuan in four installments to acquire 30.59% of Wanjia Culture’s equity.

Subsequently, the Shanghai Stock Exchange formally issued an inquiry letter regarding Longwei Media's acquisition of the listed company Wanjia Culture, requiring it to explain the source of its funding channels and provide relevant written responses.

Longwei Media explained today that the 30.59 billion yuan equity transfer payment was all self-raised funds, including 6000 million yuan of shareholders' own funds; the remaining 29.999 billion yuan was all loans.

The loan includes a loan of 15 billion yuan from XZ Yinbi Xin Asset Management Co., Ltd., with a repayment period of 3 years and an annualized interest rate of 10%, as well as financing of approximately 15 billion yuan from financial institutions by pledging Wanjia Culture’s equity.

“Although Longwei Media has not officially disclosed the specific guarantor, according to insiders’ analysis…it is suspected to be from the ‘Ali Group’!”

With the arrival of a new day, the news about "The Ferryman" and "Railroad Tigers" have been temporarily put aside by netizens.

Looking around, everyone's attention today is almost all on Longwei Media and Wanjia Culture!

A long time ago, many "leeks" were surprised and puzzled. Where did this "female Buffett" get such courage to use such a large lever to erode Wanjia Culture?

Now, with the news that "the guarantor is suspected to be from Alibaba" emerging, everyone finally realized it!

"That's what I said. No wonder Zhao Yanzi is so bold. It turns out that she has the Ali Group behind her to support her."

"Wow! She is worthy of being our country's 'female Buffett'. This operation is really amazing. She can actually borrow so much money."

"So, Wanjia Culture is about to take advantage of this wave, right?"

"Everyone, hurry up and get ready to enter the market and hold on. Follow Zhao Buffett Yanzi, and you will definitely make a lot of money this time."

"Although her character is not very good, I have to say that her investment methods are indeed unique. You can indeed make money by following her. I will follow her this time."

"Why is there no response regarding 'business plan' and 'long-term holding'? So what will Longwei Media do after the acquisition? I think we still have to think carefully before we make any mistakes."

"What kind of business plan do you need? This is a project guaranteed by Alibaba. Don't you still trust Mr. Ma? Zhao Yanzi was trained by Mr. Ma. How could her investment be wrong?"

"..."

It has to be said that once a person's thinking becomes solidified, it is very difficult to change it from the outside world.

For example, now, when the seven words "the guarantor is Alibaba" appeared, everyone immediately had full confidence in Longwei Media's acquisition of Wanjia Culture!

After all, how could you fail if you follow Jack Ma?

As for the word "suspected", it has long been thrown out of everyone's mind.

Everyone knows that Zhao Yanzi has been with Alibaba for a long time. What is "suspected"? No one pays attention to this word.

Everyone now assumes that this "suspected" is the "fact".

"Chen Fei, is this project really that good? Why do I see so many people online saying that as long as you follow it, you can make money without losing money?"

Listening to Liu Yifei's question, Chen Fei laughed: "Whoever believes this kind of thing is stupid. Ma Yun said that he has no interest in money, so how could he be 'interested' in Wanjia Culture?

What’s more, Alibaba is only showing up as a guarantor. Even if the guarantee is successful, it’s still unknown what will happen next…”

The more Miss Liu listened, the more confused she became, and in the end she even started scratching her head.

"So you're saying this isn't a good project to follow up on?"

"In a word!" Chen Fei raised his finger and pointed out the inside story: "This is used to cut leeks. Anyone who chooses to follow is a fool!"

"Ah? Then won't many people be in trouble again?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chen Fei suddenly sneered, "As long as we let those poor losers know that they can't get this financing from Longwei Media, and there is absolutely no way they will get it, there will naturally be fewer unlucky people."

"I still don't quite understand..."

Liu Yifei shook her head, obviously confused by Chen Fei's words.

"Let's end this topic. You're not going to invest anyway." Fade Chen reached out and tapped her on the head, then turned and looked out the window.

The venue for the "La La Land" celebration dinner is almost here, and tonight is destined to be another star-studded night!
A film with literary, dramatic, song and dance themes actually earned 10.13 billion yuan in box office within one month of its release. Its value is simply too high!
This also proves from the side that the combined box office appeal of him and Liu Yifei has reached a terrifying level!

At the same time, on the night of the celebration party for "La La Land", Dong Ping, chairman of Huanxi Media, once again visited Zhang Yimou's studio not far away.

After considering this period of time, and considering the various influences after the release of "The Great Wall", the "National Master" seems to have made a decision!
"Director Zhang, I'm really happy that we can gather here again tonight. I even specially prepared a bottle of red wine for this occasion."

Dong Ping pointed to the expensive red wine on the table with a bright smile on his face.

The same was true for Zhang Yimou on the opposite side.

"Tingting, go prepare some red wine glasses and a decanter."

"Yeah, okay." Chen Ting turned and walked out of the study, and took the wine glass back after a while.

At this time, Dong Ping had already talked to Zhang Yimou about the relevant conditions and plans for the latter to sign a contract with Huanxi Media:
"Since the filming of Hero in 02, Director Zhang, you have been hailed as a pioneer of domestic Chinese-language commercial films. Now, after so many years, you are still active in the film industry and have mastered a pivotal position. So, your joining is definitely a 'tiger-adding-wings' presence for Huanxi Media! There is no doubt about that!"

Zhang Yimou nodded slightly, looking calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

Previously, Wang Changtian from Guangguang Film Studio and Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Studio also praised him in this way when they chatted with him, so he has almost become insulated from these nice words.

Therefore, what he wants now is substantial benefits!

Dong Ping took a breath and continued, "You should have known about this when you attended Huanxi Media's director signing meeting before. For the two directors Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai, we asked for priority investment rights and up to 60% of the investment share.

But for your film, I hope to obtain exclusive investment rights, that is, after the formal signing, all the films you shoot next can only be invested by Huanxi. As for the share and salary, these will be based on the market price. You will definitely not lose a penny. What do you think?"

Zhang Yimou frowned slightly when he heard this, and he was obviously concerned about this condition...

But the next second, Dong Ping offered him conditions that made him very excited!
"As for your contract terms, Huanxi Media plans to conditionally allocate 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars worth of shares to you, and provide you with up to 1 million yuan in operating expenses for the cooperation project. What do you think?"

When this condition was put forward, Zhang Yimou had no reaction yet, but Chen Ting and Zhang Mo on the side could no longer contain their excitement!

1.5 million Hong Kong dollars worth of shares, plus a signing fee of 1 million yuan, when added together, this condition is simply too generous!
It is no exaggeration to say that this signing fee alone exceeds what Zhang Yimou earned in the first half of his life.

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou, the person involved, finally couldn't hold back and immediately asked, "What about the contract time?"

Dong Ping's heart tightened, he knew this was the most critical link.

"How about 10 years? During this period, you have to produce a sufficient number of film and television works, including but not limited to movies, TV series, and web series..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yimou frowned again.

You know, the contracts of Wang Jiawei, Chen Kexin, Gu Changwei and Zhang Yibai are only for 6 years, and his 10 years is undoubtedly a bit too long.

He is 66 this year, and will be 10 in another 76 years. It is another matter whether he will still be able to carry the camera by then.

However, Zhang Yimou did not refuse immediately.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Although 10 years is not a short time, it is not unacceptable. However, I need to see your specific plans and commitments. After all, my time and energy are limited. I must ensure that this cooperation can bring me sufficient returns."

Dong Ping couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this. As long as Zhang Yimou did not completely refuse, it meant that they still had a chance to continue negotiations and strive to reach a cooperation plan that both parties could accept.

In the following time, the two sides continued to discuss the specific details and conditions of the cooperation. Zhang Yimou put forward his own requirements and expectations, and Dong Ping tried his best to meet his requirements, while also striving for more rights and interests...

In a blink of an eye, it was already 12 o'clock.

After several hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the details of the cooperation.

That is: when Zhang Yimou's contract with LeTV expires, he will immediately join Huanxi Media and work for it until he is 75 years old!
"Crash..."

The sweet wine has been poured into the decanter, and the rich aroma permeates the study, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if one sniff of it would make them intoxicated.

"Director Zhang, come, let's raise our glasses together to celebrate this moment of 'win-win cooperation'."

"Okay! Mr. Dong, I toast to you."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them picked up the wine glasses without hesitation and swallowed the wine in one gulp.

For Zhang Yimou, this glass of wine represented the difficulties and melancholy he had experienced in his life, because from now on, he would have to completely abandon his face and work hard for "money".

Even if he will be criticized and abused during this period, he will never regret it, because he is really "afraid of being poor"!
For Dong Ping, this glass of wine represents the bright future of Huanxi Media!

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Once Zhang Yimou joins, he believes that Huanxi Future will definitely surpass a number of private listed film and television companies such as Huayi and Alibaba Pictures and stand at the top of the film and television industry!

As for the behemoth Feiyue Film and Television, it is not within his consideration in the short term.

Because as long as this company does not choose to go public, it will never become a thorn in Huanxi's eyes or a thorn in his side. After all, the difference between going public and not going public is huge.

After a glass of red wine, the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Director Zhang, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now. I hope your next film Shadow will go smoothly and be a big hit at the box office."

"Okay, thanks to President Dong for his good wishes... I'll take you there."

Zhang Yimou stood up with Dong Ping and walked out together.

However, at this moment, Chen Ting's voice came from behind the two of them: "Boss Dong, you haven't got your red wine yet."

Dong Ping stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is a gift I gave to Director Zhang. How can you take it away? Leave it here and drink it."

"Oh, thank you then."

Chen Ting didn't think much about it, it was just a bottle of red wine.

A few minutes passed in a flash. After the family sent Dong Ping to the car, they quickly returned to the study.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou's eldest son Zhang Yinan's eyes suddenly fell on the label of the bottle of red wine on the table.

At first he didn't pay much attention to it, but after staring at it for a while, he inexplicably felt that it was becoming more and more familiar the more he looked at it!

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, searched on Baidu according to the label, and his mouth opened in surprise!

"Dad, Mom, Sister! This... this red wine is a first-class winery red wine from Chateau Lafite Bordeaux in 1855. It costs nearly one million per bottle!"

"How much? One million per bottle?" Chen Ting was stunned on the spot.

Given their family's financial situation, they could certainly afford a bottle of wine worth one million, but neither Zhang Yimou nor Chen Ting would ever spend that money.

Because in their minds, being willing to spend one million to buy a bottle of wine is something that only someone with a lot of money can do.

But now, most of their assets are thrown into the mess of LeTV. Where do they get the money to squander like this?
"As expected of a finance professional, he's really generous. He casually buys wine worth millions." Zhang Mo murmured, unable to hide his envy in his tone.

"This is the power of capital!" Zhang Yimou murmured, his tone full of emotion: "Dong Ping can easily buy a million red wine, and even Zhao Yanzi can spend 30 billion to acquire a listed company, so where does their money come from?
Haha, the money in the capital market has long been unable to be quantified by numbers, because it is basically endless and inexhaustible.

And now, I am also going to jump into this pool, to fish, to rob, to earn money crazily, wantonly, and by any means necessary, without caring about my reputation after death. If I don’t earn money now, what will you do when I am old and unable to move? "

"dad……"

Zhang Mo wanted to say something, but Zhang Yimou stopped him by looking up: "No need to say more, this is my own choice. Using fame to exchange for profit is also the last struggle of my life. As for the right and wrong, merits and demerits, let the outside world judge."

……

"Last night, all the main creators of La La Land gathered in Kyoto to hold a celebration party for the 10 billion box office success..."

"After three days of opening weekend, the comedy and romance film "The Ferryman", which was produced by Alibaba Pictures, supervised by Wang Jiawei, directed by Zhang Yijia, and starred by Tony Leung, Jin Chengwu, Eason Chan, Yang Ying, Zhang Rongrong and others, grossed 2.12 million yuan... The film's overall reputation score has completely collapsed, with only 4.6 points left."

"The comedy and action film Railroad Tigers, co-produced by Shanghai Film Group and Yaolai Pictures, directed by Ding Mao, and starring Chen Long, Jaycee Chan, Huang Zitao and others, grossed 1.85 million yuan in three days."

"On the 10th day of its release, The Great Wall's reputation has been hard to recover... However, the Film Bureau still issued a key extension notice, which means that the film will be postponed until the last day of February before it will be officially taken off the screen."

"The comedy, romance and fantasy film "28 Years Old Minor", exclusively produced by LeTV Pictures and directed by Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo, starring Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua and others, was officially taken off the screen yesterday morning. The film was released for 16 days and the total box office revenue was reported to be 1.29 million RMB!"

"On the 24th day of the release of Operation Red Sea, the box office has officially exceeded 39 billion, with a total of 39.53 billion. The 40 billion mark is just around the corner!"

Although the 26th is Monday, looking at the entire film and television industry, it is even more lively and exciting than Saturday and Sunday!
"La La Land" just held its celebration party, while "Operation Red Sea" is about to break 40 billion. This situation has undoubtedly brought envy, jealousy and jealousy from many investors in the circle.

Of course, compared with the keen attention within the industry, netizens outside are not so concerned.

Anyway, the 40 billion box office has nothing to do with them. Comparatively speaking, they still prefer to eat spectators and watch the fun.

For example, the Weibo post that Wang Jiawei posted this morning attracted the attention of many people inside and outside the industry.

Faced with many negative and bad reviews of "The Ferryman" on the Internet, Director Wang finally launched a "counterattack":
"In fact, the world is so big, there are more than just north and south. If you only seek perfection, you will be complacent. In your eyes, this is just a movie, but to me, it is a world.
As the saying goes, great success begins with imperfections. Imperfections lead to progress. Ferryman, ferrying others and ferrying yourself - I like it! "

At first glance, this post is so full of the flavor of "preaching" that it is almost overflowing, and the attitude is so disgusting that it can be as disgusting as it can be.

However, there are many people who choose to "lick".

After this post was officially released, Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro followed suit and began to lead the "chain".

The two directly forwarded the post and wrote: "I like it too."

Then things suddenly got out of control!

Chen Kexin, Zhang Yibai, Chen Yixun, Lu Chuan, Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Guoxiang, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Carina Lau, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbin, Zhou Xun, Shu Qi, Xu Jinlei, Zhou Dongyu, Gillian Chung, Li Yifeng, Zhang Rongrong, Du Juan, Xiong Dailin, Dapeng...

Looking around, countless first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier filmmakers, actors, and celebrities in the industry have all taken action, forwarding this post while writing: "I like it too."

Within a whole day, the number of reposts of the post reached a terrifying number of hundreds, and almost half of the entertainment industry had joined in.

Even Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, Wang Jing... and even Zhou Xingchi chose to express their support.

There is no way. After all, everyone is in this circle to make a living. Except for those who are capable and have no shortage of resources, who dares to refute? Who has to come out and praise?
However, amidst this grand occasion, a very striking comment emerged.

Wang Chuanjun: “I don’t like it!”
