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

Chapter 1013: The "tragedy" of China Film Group and Bona Film Group: the donkey is discarded after it has done its job! The female Buffett... has fallen!
"Due to the extreme sports challenge that director Chen Fei took in France, the box office of Operation Red Sea yesterday surged by 3000 million compared to the day before, with a total single-day box office of 4112 million yuan!"

"On the 21st day of its release, the box office of Railroad Tigers has dropped to 408.81 million yuan, with a total box office of 5.64 million yuan."

"The latest single-day box office for The Great Wall is only 266.86 million, and there are only three days left before the first key extension."

"Yesterday, Hollywood blockbusters such as Passengers and Backbone officially joined the box office battle, which may have a huge impact on domestic films."

"The list of nominees for the 89th Academy Awards was officially announced today. Unfortunately, the Sino-Indian co-production "Xuan Zang", recommended by China Film Group, failed to be nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film."

"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" failed to be nominated for an Oscar, and Lee's attempt to win an Oscar this year has officially failed."

……

Early in the morning, 2/3 of the attention in the film and television industry was on China Film Group and Lapaitang, while the remaining 1/3 was on Bona and Yu Dong.

At this moment, the voices of ridicule have spread throughout the entire film and television industry!

"Hahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter. The Great Wall is in such a mess, and yet they applied for a key extension? Isn't Lapaikang just slapping itself in the face?"

"The Great Wall was a box office failure, and another film, Xuanzang, didn't even make the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. China Film Group's performance was really bad this year."

"As far as I know, under the leadership of our Chairman Lada, China Film's distribution, cinema, and wholesale film businesses have all suffered huge losses this year. This is retribution! He deserves it!"

"Bona has been unlucky this year. The summer movie 'Legend of the Gods' suffered a huge loss, and then 'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' also suffered a huge loss. Now Li An has failed to win an Oscar. I want to see how his financing in March will go."

"If these two had any intention of repentance, they wouldn't have been so unlucky all the time. They don't do their jobs all day long. They deserve it!"

La Peikang sneezed so many times throughout the morning.

Of course, he also knew that many people in the circle were mocking him, and even many people in the company looked at him strangely.

But faced with this situation, he could only pretend he didn't hear or see it and hold on.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's because under his leadership, China Film Group's performance was so terrible last year.

However, what he never expected was that when it rains it suddenly happened!

A few minutes ago, Universal Pictures sent an email to China Film, informing them that "The Great Wall" will premiere in North America as scheduled, and also clarified that director Zhang Yimou and his team need to arrive in Hollywood before February 2, Los Angeles time.

However, the second half of the email took an unexpected turn.

That is: Universal Pictures has decided not to send invitations to the Oscars ceremony and dinner to the core creative crew of "The Great Wall" for the time being.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and La Peikang's heart suddenly sank!
After all, the Oscars are the highest hall of honor in the global film industry. Being invited to attend its awards ceremony and dinner is the highest honor for any filmmaker.

But the sudden change interrupted La Peikang's plan.

He had originally thought that if the news of "The Great Wall" participating in the Oscars ceremony was announced, perhaps the popularity could boost the box office performance of the film.

But now this sudden change has abruptly disrupted his plan.

"Is this key extension really not going to be used anymore?"

At this moment, his expression suddenly turned very ugly.

If "The Great Wall" had collapsed halfway, you can tell without a doubt that there would have been a lot of people out there who would have mocked him, especially Ren Zhonglun, who would definitely not miss this opportunity.

When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, full of resentment and helplessness.

The same was true for Yu Dong on the other side.

When he learned that "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" didn't even get an Oscar nomination, his face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Impossible? How could this happen? That's Li An's award-winning film! Doesn't Hollywood love movies of this kind the most? Why can't it even get a nomination?"

Seeing that his boss was about to go crazy, the public relations manager who was responsible for communicating with Hollywood quickly explained:

"Mr. Yu, Sony's response was that the film reveals the true cruelty of war and the inner struggles of soldiers through the perspective of Billy Lynn. This profound and complex theme may not conform to the general aesthetic preferences of Oscar judges or the general audience.

Director Li An responded that the film uses a lot of flashbacks and flashbacks to interweave war memories with real life. This narrative method may be difficult to understand for some viewers... In addition, the story has a relatively slow pace and focuses more on the characterization of the characters' inner world and the expression of their emotions rather than the advancement of the tense plot. This may have affected the audience's viewing experience and acceptance.

Finally, it’s the box office and word of mouth. The film’s performance in North America was not very good, with only less than 200 million US dollars, and the IMDb score was only 6.2, which greatly affected the judges’ judgment…”

"And then?" Yu Dong finally came back to his senses from his daze: "Is this the only explanation? We invested so many public relations resources, and this is the outcome?"

The public relations manager remained silent and was unable to speak for a long time.

"Aren't they going to give me an explanation?" Yu Dong was still questioning.

"Director Li An is really sorry to disappoint you..."

"I don't want to be disappointed! I want a prize! I want profit! I want money! I want my money back! Who will make up for my losses? Ah! Tell me who will make up for it?"

"Mr. Yu, the film Going Out of Town, which is co-produced by our company and Media Asia, has been scheduled for release. This film may be able to make up for the previous losses..."

"What about those voices outside who are laughing at me? Can I cover them up? Can I stop them from laughing at me?"

The PR manager was completely silent.

What can he do?
The project of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" was decided by Yu Dong himself. Now that the project has failed, Bona will naturally have to bear the corresponding price.

As the chairman and the direct person in charge of the project, Yu Dong has an unshirkable responsibility.

Therefore, he has to endure the ridicule and abuse, and no one can bear the consequences on his behalf.

……

At around 14: p.m. on the th, the flight from France to the capital landed.

Chen Fei did not attract anyone's attention. He left the airport through the VIP channel and successfully arrived at the underground parking lot.

After getting into the business car that came to pick him up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off his disguise, including his mask and sunglasses.

However, in the next second, his hands were held by Liu Yifei.

"Huh? Why don't you have any wounds on your hands?"

Miss Liu frowned and looked over and over again at the palm and back of Chen Fei's hand, trying to find the wound she mentioned.

"Hey? Why do I have a cut on my hand?"

"I watched that video, and you just rubbed your hands on the ground, and then so many sparks flew out!"

"Hey? Do you really think I have a ruthless hand?" Chen Fei looked at the silly girl in front of him with a look of confusion and explained to her: "Of course I was wearing protective gloves. As for the sparks, it was because there was flint on the gloves."

"Oh! So that's it!" Liu Yifei pretended to understand something, and then asked curiously: "I also like to skateboard? Can you teach me?"

"Sure, this is easy to learn..."

We chatted along the way and time passed very quickly. I arrived home smoothly in a daze.

At the same time, when Chen Fei was packing the luggage he brought back from India, a notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission suddenly appeared on the Weibo hot search list!

"After investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, it was determined that Longwei Media had many problems in the process of acquiring the listed company Wanjia Culture, including illegal information disclosure, misleading investors, and false securities statements, which has caused a major financing accident...

Longwei Media is controlled by actress Zhao Yanzi and was established on November 2016, 11 with a registered capital of only 2 million yuan, which has not yet been paid in full and has not conducted any actual business.

Wanjia Culture is a company listed on the A-share market. Its main business covers multiple fields, but it has not formed outstanding core competitiveness for a long time.

Moreover, since 2008, Wanjia Culture has repeatedly planned to "sell its shell", that is, to sell its controlling stake to other companies or investors, but all failed. This reflects the difficulties Wanjia Culture faced in operation and governance, and also provided an opportunity for its subsequent acquisition by Longwei Media.

The financing acquisition by both parties was intended to induce investors to purchase Wanjia Culture shares through misleading descriptions of financial strength, thereby making illegal profits; this has violated Article 36 of the Securities Law, which requires that information disclosed by issuers and listed companies in accordance with the law must be true, accurate and complete, and must not contain false records, misleading statements or major omissions.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission has now issued an administrative penalty decision to Wanjia Culture: requiring Wanjia Culture and Longwei Media to make corrections; giving warnings, and imposing a fine of 60 yuan each.

At the same time, Kong Deyong, Huang Youlong, Zhao Yanzi, Zhao Zheng and other responsible persons were warned and fined 30 yuan each, and were strictly prohibited from entering the securities market within 5 years..." As this notice of more than a thousand words surfaced, the outside world finally saw Zhao Yanzi's true face!

What many investors never expected was that the "female Buffett" they had admired for so long was actually planning to take away their hard-earned money!

When they thought about the fact that they would 100% lose all their money after buying Wanjia Culture’s stocks, they found it difficult to suppress the anger in their hearts!

"This damn woman is so despicable. She actually wants to take our hard-earned money. She really deserves to go to hell!"

"Ever since she was driven back from Venice, I knew this woman must have a very bad character and her hands and feet must be dirty. Now the truth is out!"

"Fuck! Fortunately, I was smart enough to run away in advance, otherwise I would definitely be killed by her this time!"

"Zhao Yanzi! Give me back my hard-earned money! I am still your fan! Is this how you harm your fans?"

"Is there any involvement from Alibaba? I don't believe that a woman like her can do such a dirty thing! How can she be so capable?"

"..."

When Chen Fei received the news and logged into Weibo to check, he was shocked to find that Zhao Yanzi had been criticized by thousands of people!

What’s very interesting is that a senior executive from Alibaba actually issued a clarification announcement, stating that the acquisition of Wanjia Culture by Longwei Media has nothing to do with them.

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

The most important thing is that Zhao Yanzi is no longer a shareholder of Alibaba Pictures.

What’s even more interesting is that after that “god” of Alibaba stepped down as CEO, he hasn’t appeared on the same stage with Zhao Yanzi or accepted media interviews with her for a long time.

Based on this, in the eyes of a large number of "sons of God", this matter naturally has nothing to do with Ali.

Zhao Yanzi should be solely responsible for all the mistakes. It has nothing to do with Alibaba and there is no way it can be related!

"This move of sacrificing the rook to save the king is really a very clever one!"

"That's right. He picked up all the spoils from his own farm and put all the blame on Zhao Yanzi. Haha, it's really better to let a friend die than to let me die."

Chen Fei was talking on the phone with Zhou Shouzi.

Both of them despised Ali's behavior of "selling out teammates", but it must be said that Ali played this wave of operations very well.

If Zhao Yanzi's plan can go smoothly, then Alibaba can naturally profit from it and successfully test the bottom line of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Even if they fail, it will not have any impact on them.

Anyway, from the beginning to the end, Alibaba has never publicly stated that it will get involved in this acquisition. At most, it just released some smoke bombs of "suspected guarantees".

Now that the plan has failed, they have completely cleared themselves of all responsibility with a clarification announcement.

As for Zhao Yanzi, the female "Buffett", she was directly thrown out as cannon fodder without any sense of pity at all.

I have to say that this operation was both smooth and ruthless, fully demonstrating the capitalists' wolfish ambitions and audacity!
"How is Pinduoduo developing? Is it going smoothly?"

Chen Fei suddenly changed the subject and asked about the current status of Pinduoduo, a social e-commerce platform that Longxiang Capital had successfully invested in as early as 2015.

"It's going very smoothly!" Zhou Shouzi was a little surprised: "Boss, you have a really good vision. In just two years, the number of active buyers on Pinduoduo has exceeded 2 million.

In June of this year, Huang Zheng is preparing to conduct a C round of financing, and then go directly to the US stock market for listing next year!

According to my calculations and verification, within three years at the latest, Pinduoduo’s user base will surpass Taobao and become the e-commerce platform with the largest number of users in the world!"

"Haha, great! I look forward to that day!"

At this moment, Fade Chen was actually a little excited.

I wonder what Alibaba’s mood and feelings will be when the day comes when Pinduoduo’s user base successfully surpasses Taobao?

Perhaps by then, "God" will have completely fallen.

……

Alibaba Pictures.

Inside Zhang Qiong’s office.

Looking at Zhao Yanzi, who was pale, anxious and at a loss, Zhang Qi was also in a very bad mood.

The plan had just started, a large amount of money had just been invested, and before there was time to withdraw it, it suddenly collapsed.

This is so fucked up!
He now particularly wanted to ask this "female Buffett" who was forcibly promoted what stupid things she had done in recent days that she had been caught with so many evidences!
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Mr. Ma will definitely not see you at this time, so don't even think about looking for him."

"Ah?" Zhao Yanzi panicked: "Mr. Zhang, what should I do now? All the money I invested has gone down the drain. The bank is already asking me to repay the loan. Where can I find such a large sum of money?"

After secretly cursing "idiot" in his heart, Zhang Qi comforted him: "Don't worry, the group will not sit idly by and will definitely help you fill this hole.

However, it is not suitable for you to stay in China at this time. I have found a way for you to go to Singapore. Please pack up and leave China as soon as possible. Don't let the bank find you. I will notify you when you can come back."

"Oh...oh! OK!"

Perhaps because Zhao Yanzi was completely panicked, she didn't think much about it. She responded and turned around and left in a hurry.

Behind her, the two "bodyguards" specially arranged by Zhang Qie for her immediately followed.

As the office door closed again, the secretary who had been standing silently by the side suddenly asked curiously, "Boss Zhang? Will the group really help her fill this hole?"

"Haha." Zhang Qi sneered and asked, "She borrowed the money herself, why should the group help her pay it back?"

"Then why did you ask her to leave the country as soon as possible?"

"Since she's out of the country, her words and actions can be controlled, and we don't have to worry about her saying anything wrong."

"Oh! Is that so?!"

The secretary suddenly realized what was going on, and then asked, "So what should we do here?"

"Find a few suitable hot searches to suppress the heat of this matter first. Even if we can't suppress it, try to reduce its impact as much as possible and try not to involve us."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

"Remember to keep a close eye on that woman. Don't let her say anything nonsense. Send her to Singapore as soon as possible."

"alright, I got it."

The office door was soon closed again, and Zhang Qi was the only one left in the huge room.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and called "God".

"Beep beep..."

"Hey, Mr. Ma, I have arranged for someone to send Zhao Yanzi abroad. What should we do next?"

After waiting for a while, a strong voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "Let's end this matter here. Since this road is not feasible, it seems that we can only make a fuss about Ant Financial.

You just need to do your part and make sure that 'Ali Entertainment' becomes bigger and stronger. At the same time, cooperate with Li Jie and implement the plan made by Tao Piaopiao before the Spring Festival. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Mr. Ma, I will cooperate with Li..."

"Beep beep..."

Hearing the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Zhang Qi's face darkened slightly, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

He knew very well that Ma Yun was very dissatisfied with him now. After all, in this acquisition plan, he was the "operator" behind Zhao Yanzi!
If nothing unexpected happens, if he fails to achieve any results in the future, he will probably be "adjusted" out of the company!
