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

Chapter 534: Going through the back door? The U.S. sword offensive is powerful! Wanda has done a great job!
"Today, the official blog of Feiyue Film and Television announced that the casting of "The Murderer" has been officially completed. Song Laoer will be played by Zhang Songwen, and Dong Xiaofeng will be played by Zhang Yi..."

""Into the Dust" has announced that it has entered the preparatory period. The director will be Shen Ao, a new director from the Nortel Directing Department in 05. Tian Zhuangzhuang will play the male lead Ma Youtie and also serve as a producer."

"The 'New Art Film Recovery' plan launched by Pan-Asia Cinemas in conjunction with well-known directors such as Chen Fei, Jia Zhangke, Tian Zhuangzhuang, etc. has been officially launched, and the first batch of art films have now begun to be released in theaters."

"According to the list, "No Man's Land", "Shoplifters", "Chinese Partners", etc. are all on the list."

"The pre-sale box office of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" has exceeded 100 million, and the first domestic animated film produced by Feiyue Films is about to hit the market!"

……

As we approach late May, news about the entertainment industry is still abuzz online.

Looking around, news related to Chen Fei occupies a lot of space, attracting countless netizens to watch.

It seems that as long as he stays in the mainland for one more day, there will be a steady stream of news coming out.

The audition announcement for the heroine of "Into the Dust" has been sent out. This time, Tian Zhuangzhuang will personally select his partner.

If Youku can reach in-depth cooperation with Feiyue Film and Television and Walton Pictures, what kind of status will Youku eventually achieve?
Number one in the country?

No, Jiang Wenli wanted to play the role of "Cao Guiying", but because she was not familiar with Chen Fei, she hired Gu Changwei to act as a lobbyist.

In the car, Zhou Shouzi briefly reported: "This acquisition cost approximately US$6.5 million. According to your wishes, we have completed an absolute controlling stake in Youku and retained a complete high-level system..."

After completing the acquisition of Tudou, Youku’s current market share is already very high.

“Starting today, customers from Feiyue Pictures, Volton Pictures, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, DreamWorks, Hulu, Netflix, SBS, CJ, ShouBox, Golden Harvest, Movies and Media, etc. All film and television resources will be open to Youku to launch in-depth cooperation..."

The company's current partners include China Film, Disney, DreamWorks, 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate and many other top film production companies in the industry.

Funds and resources are what Chen Fei lacks the most, and Youku can provide a platform to undertake these things, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Arriving at the conference room, under the leadership of Gu Yongqiang, all senior executives of Youku were in place and started the first internal high-level meeting after the acquisition.

If you want to win a role, then go to auditions. There is no point in doing all these things.

The moment he got out of the car, Chen Fei vaguely noticed that there seemed to be flash lights and the sound of camera shutters on both sides.

For example, in the acquisition of Youku, under the "U.S. knife offensive", Youku, which was already listed on Nasdaq, had no intention of resisting at all.

However, many people still contacted Chen Fei and wanted him to "help" a little.

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!
Chen Fei's words directly caused an uproar in the conference room!

Until now, Chen Fei has never encountered anything that cannot be done with money.

Although the call came to Chen Fei, he did not answer the call.

Absolutely stable!

This is going to be a big deal!

There is only one thought in his mind now.

Gu Yongqiang behaved very enthusiastically, as if he were a subordinate treating his boss.

However, even if they had been mentally prepared before, many people still felt a little dazed looking at the young man sitting in the main seat.

"it is good."

"Literary films depend on acting skills and the actor's suitability. This is not something I can just recommend someone to and successfully get a role. It mainly depends on the audition effect..."

It’s just a change of manager in the company, and the replacement is still a big resource person!

And next, he will help Youku move more smoothly and steadily!
When he arrived at the door of Youku Company, through the car window, Chen Fei could see a group of Youku executives headed by Gu Yongqiang waiting outside the door of the company.

这家公司是由原搜狐总裁和首席运营官古勇锵在2005年11月创立的，06年6月21日成功公测上线。

However, he didn't pay attention, but smiled and shook hands with Gu Yongqiang and others who came forward to greet them.

As long as the money is available, everything will fall into place.

Chen Fei nodded and briefly looked through Youku's internal information.

Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei are an interesting couple. They are obviously doing their own thing, but they still try their best to support each other in their careers.

But he never expected that at this critical moment, Chen Fei would come to join in the fun.

……

By this time, everyone already knew that the helm of Youku had officially changed to Chen Fei.

As soon as the car parked, Zhou Shouzi pushed the door open from the right and walked out, and took the initiative to block the door for Chen Fei.

To be honest, when Zhou Shouzi learned that the person who acquired Youku was actually Chen Fei, the boss of Feiyue Film and Television, he was already in a very excited state.

Spending huge sums of money to acquire Youku, and retaining his professional and personal shareholdings as CEO, requiring him to continue to be at the helm...

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Youku..."

After receiving a call from Zhou Shouzi, Chen Fei set off directly from the company, met him, and went straight to Youku headquarters.

Chen Fei will never criticize a movie produced and starred by Tian Zhuangzhuang. He will only wait until the filming of the movie is over to see the final effect.

Since the completion of the merger with Tudou, Youku has become even more popular!
However, in Chen Fei's view, Youku has just celebrated its 12th birthday, and there is still a long way to go before adulthood.

He is currently negotiating with Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. and other companies, preparing to reach cooperation with them and introduce their movies and series.

After a few simple explanations, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

Since its establishment, Youku has never been so "full".

Sure enough, being favored by the big boss of the resource side is one of the important prerequisites for the vigorous development of the film and television broadcast platform!

Of course, Chen Fei didn't need to worry about the details of the cooperation. His main purpose of coming here today was to look familiar and show off how thick his "thighs" were!

His purpose is very simple, which is to make Youku the well-deserved No. 1 in the industry.

iQiyi, Tencent, Mango and others can only drink what is left of him.

After the meeting, Chen Fei and Zhou Shouzi followed Gu Yongqiang to his office and had a chat about the company's next development.

"Mobile video software can be launched."

The first words Chen Fei spoke made Gu Yongqiang freeze on the spot.

After a moment, he subconsciously retorted: "Now... is this necessary?"

"What phone is Mr. Gu using?"

"apple."

Gu Yong raised his hand with a brand new 4s. He spent 6599 to buy it, which is several times more expensive than domestic mobile phones in China!
"So what do you think of this phone?"

Hearing these words, Gu Yongqiang's face became much more serious, and he solemnly said: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is an epoch-making product!"

Chen Fei suddenly remembered the sharp increase in the Apple shares he held, and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Next, Mr. Gu can do a simple survey on the 'popularization speed of smartphones'. Believe me, you will be shocked and speechless!

The traffic loss of the 3G network is certainly a major flaw, but the arrival of the 4G network can definitely change this flaw.

Once the regional network is opened, watching TV dramas, movies, mobile online games... these will definitely become popular all over the country.

The first person to pick the grapes is qualified to evaluate whether it is sweet or sour. Market share is always the focus we need to pay attention to.

The computer version is certainly important, but it is also very important to seize the opportunity on the mobile version..."

Chen Fei picked up some things he could talk about and immediately confused Gu Yongqiang.

After calming down for a while, he murmured: "So, mobile is the new trend in future development?"

"Correct!"

Chen Fei nodded heavily, his eyes showing deep affirmation.

Gu Yongqiang is a ruthless man who led Youku all the way out of the siege and killed the big brother Tudou. Naturally, he does not lack this vision.

He quickly made a decision and waved his fist resolutely: "Then do it! No matter what, the first person to eat the crab will not be any worse."

……

After leaving Youku, on the way back in the car, Chen Fei specifically asked Zhou Shouzi about the development of "Kuaishou" and "Bytedance".

He has invested in both companies and can be regarded as the second largest shareholder after the founders.

"The development is good and the prospects are excellent."

Zhou Shouzi spoke concisely and clearly, clearly expressing what Chen Fei wanted to hear most.

"There is no need to specifically intervene in the company's operations and development. Let Zhang Yiming and Cheng Yixiao handle it on their own and ensure our interests and right to speak."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand." "By the way, there is one more thing you need to do." Chen Fei suddenly remembered something he had decided on before, and immediately said: "I have There are also about 4000 million shares of Huayi stock. Please help me find someone willing to take over and sell them all to me. "

"it is good."

Zhou Shouzi didn't specifically ask for the reason. Since the boss had spoken, he just did as he was told.

To be honest, he actually admires Chen Fei quite a lot!

Because until now, none of the industries or companies Chen Fei invested in had lost money.

For industrial enterprises such as CATL, although the initial investment and sunk costs are large, the future prospects are very clear, and the investment will inevitably generate huge returns!

~

Chen Fei's appearance at Youku headquarters was inevitably announced online by the media.

In the Internet age, whenever there is any major news, it is generally impossible to hide it.

"According to internal information, director Chen Fei has now become the largest shareholder of Youku. Companies such as Feiyue Films, Jiahe, and Volton Pictures will reach strategic cooperation with Youku..."

News reports quickly swept the film and television circles, media circles, Internet platforms and various video websites.

Neither party is hiding this matter, and for listed companies such as Youku, share changes also need to be announced.

When the news was confirmed, it directly triggered a heated discussion in the circle!
You know, Feiyue Pictures, Golden Harvest, and Waltons Pictures are all big companies in the film and television industry, and the latter once surpassed the Big Six in Hollywood!

For video websites, they are resource producers. They have money, resources, and channel relationships. The cooperation between the two parties can be said to be a perfect match!

“As a producer, Feiyue Film and Television is in the upper reaches, the growing publicity and distribution department is in the middle, and Pan-Asia Cinemas is in the lower reaches. Coupled with Youku, the Internet video platform, all the business and functions of the film and television industry have been integrated. That’s it, what does he want to do?”

Many people had doubts in their minds, but the final conclusion they came to made them feel frightened!

"Industrial closed loop, ecological layout, and even...forming a monopoly!?"

The media swarmed in and blocked the door of Feiyue Film and Television Company.

Chen Fei originally didn't want to speak out on this matter. After all, he was not the kind of person who particularly liked to do things in a high-profile manner.

But at this time, there was no need to hide it, so he simply admitted it openly.

"Yes, I have indeed become Youku's largest shareholder..."

The news was confirmed, and for a while, all industries related to film and television were not calm.

The media even rushed to report:

"Director Chen Fei accepted an interview and stated that he has completed direct control of Youku and will vigorously support Youku's development in the future."

"It is reported that the acquisition cost is as high as US$7 million!"

"Except for Feiyue Film and Television, all film and television companies and film and television copyrights related to Chen Fei will all reach cooperation agreements with Youku to support it to go further and higher!"

There were many people watching the excitement in the circle, but there were also many people who made things difficult.

"Feiyue Film and Television has formed a closed loop in the industry! It is suspected of monopolistic behavior! We must not allow it to develop like this..."

One big hat after another was put on Chen Fei, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Many companies have the mentality that they don't want to see others monopolize, but they also want to monopolize themselves.

Under such circumstances, the cooperation between Chen Fei and Youku has naturally become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people.

However, these remarks did not cause any waves at all, because the cooperation between the two parties has just begun, and no one knows what will happen next?
If he was investigated and boycotted just because he said "suspected monopoly", wouldn't Chen Fei have been in the industry in vain for so many years?

At the same time, many acquaintances called and asked if they could become shareholders or form a partnership.

His first reaction was to refuse.

The future development prospects are great, and he himself has the strength and confidence to hold on. There is no need to bring in outsiders and cause new twists and turns.

……

On this side, the cooperation between Chen Fei and Youku is still receiving media and news attention, but on the other side, Wanda suddenly made a big move!
Foreign media took the lead in reporting it, and after it was reprinted by mainland media, it immediately made the front pages of major news websites.

"Wanda spent US$31 billion to acquire the North American AMC Cinema Group and said it would assume all its debts."

"The US$31 billion can be divided into two parts, of which US$26 billion is used to acquire 100% of AMC's shares, and US$ million is used for operations."

"Wanda has completed the deployment of global theater chains and has officially surpassed the pan-Asian theater chain. It has transformed from being neck-and-neck to being the best..."

Looking at the news on the Internet, Chen Fei silently gave a thumbs up for Wanda's generous move.

But he wasn't too envious or anything.

After acquiring Golden Harvest and taking over Pan-Asia Cinemas earlier, he actually had the idea of ​​acquiring AMC together, but ultimately rejected the plan.

Although AMC is the largest theater chain in North America, its bloated system and complicated debt structure give Chen Fei a headache.

Rather than buying it, it’s better to do it yourself.

Although Pan-Asia Cinemas' market share in North America is not as large as AMC's, the cinema's projection equipment and infrastructure far exceed that of the latter.

If it continues to develop step by step, it may not be much worse than AMC in the future.

There have been heated discussions online about Wanda's acquisition of AMC, and there is even an illusion in the industry that the development of the domestic film industry seems to have spread to Hollywood.

However, after turning around and looking back at the box office results of domestic films, everyone's excitement suddenly sank to the bottom.

Throughout the month of May, with the exception of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", all other domestic films were overwhelmed by imported films!

When "Every Man" was released, the box office was only over 3000 million. Although movies such as "Books with My Wife" and "One Flew Over the Home" have been released for more than half a month, their box office did not even exceed million.

As for "Shadow Lover", which had high hopes, despite the participation of Zhang Baizhi and Jing Tian, ​​the box office was still very bleak.

This film, which was completed a long time ago, did not bring full harvest to the three production companies of DMG, Magic Movies, and Butterfly Era. Instead, it became the straw that broke the camel's back.

The three companies announced on the same day that they would tentatively finalize film and television investment projects.

As the heroine, Zhang Baizhi was greatly affected.

After divorcing Nicholas Tse, this former crown princess in Hong Kong's entertainment industry hit rock bottom.

……

May is coming to an end and June is coming, which also means that the three-month summer vacation is coming.

More and more domestic films have announced their schedules.

Chen Kaige's "Search" and Liang Baijian's "The Wudang Code" have been announced to be scheduled for July 7th, and will compete with "Four Famous Catchers" on July 6st.

However, many people's eyes are focused on the cast of these three movies.

"Wudang" and "Famous Four" both starred Yang Mi, and the crew of "Search" even reported that Yang Mi was kicked out of the crew at the beginning of filming.

And now these three movies actually appear in the same schedule, quite like Yang Mi surrounding Chen Kaige.

Yang Mi's support group "Bees" have already started clamoring on the Internet:

"This time, we must avenge the original insult!"

"Brothers and sisters, let that old fat guy Chen Kai see the power of our 'Bee Group'!"

"But what should I do if I also like Gao Yuanyuan?"

"Kick the guy upstairs out of the 'Bee Group', only Mimi fans deserve to stay here."

"Support "The Four Famous Catchers"! Boycott "Search"!"

Looking at the fans supporting her on Weibo, Yang Mi couldn't help but smile sweetly.

In terms of popularity, she is now much higher than Gao Yuanyuan, and she can definitely be called the number one person under the Four Dans!
However, when she thought about the seating arrangement at the charity party last night, the smile on Yang Mi's face suddenly disappeared.

The organizer actually arranged for her to sit together with Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Shu Chang, Huang Shengyi and others, obviously ranking them in the same level.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei, who is also a four-dan girl, is sitting with Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, and Fan Bingbing, as if she is already on an equal footing with the four-dan sisters.

What made her even more angry was that media reports said: "The 'Four Little Actresses' should be re-ranked. Liu Yifei is no longer suitable to be in the same queue as Yang Mi and others. Her current status has surpassed all female stars in the mainland. star……"

"One day, I can also..."

Yang Mi was mumbling when the phone suddenly rang.

She subconsciously looked sideways and saw the name "Guo Jingming" clearly marked on the caller ID.

""Tiny Times" seems pretty good..."

She murmured to herself, pressed the connect button, and started chatting about the script with Guo Jingming again.
