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

Chapter 685: Show off your muscles! The era of 30 billion box office for domestic films has officially arrived!
In a blink of an eye, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

What is surprising to the industry is that almost five hours have passed since the negative news broke out, but there is still no movement from Feiyue Films.

It's as if the public relations department has completely lost its effectiveness!

But logically speaking, such a large company shouldn't have such a public relations failure, right?

Moreover, the person who was defamed and framed was the boss of his own company. If the public relations department did not take any action, what use would they be?
At one point, many people called Fade Chen to ask if he needed help.

Unfortunately, the feedback they received was still the notification that "the phone you dialed is powered off."

Not only was the cell phone whose number many people knew turned off, but even the private phone was turned off.

Someone tried to contact Liu Yifei, but the final result was still "powered off, unable to connect."

For a time, news in the industry spread more intensely.

Some people even analyzed that Chen Fei and Liu Yifei might have committed crimes abroad and had been taken into custody by the relevant authorities?

It was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that several messages suddenly released on Sina Weibo quickly became the hot search list!
The official website first announced that from now on the word "Sina" would be officially removed from the prefix of the company name, leaving only the single name "Weibo".

This also means that the other two companies participating in the competition for the "Weibo" business have finally come to an end.

Immediately afterwards, Weibo’s official website released a “Prospectus for IPO”.

When the contents of this prospectus were clearly presented to the public, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry.

The 238-page document details all the data on Sina Weibo from its birth to several rounds of financing, as well as its current size, market share, future prospects, and future goals, plans, and expectations.

It can be seen from the contents of this prospectus alone that this is a company with great potential and market, and is very worthy of investment by investors.

The most shocking thing is the current shareholding ratio of Weibo that has been revealed.

A long time ago, there were rumors in the industry that Chen Fei held a lot of shares in Weibo.

No one thought much about it at first, they just thought he might only hold a small portion and was just an ordinary investor who enjoyed the profits.

But when Chen Fei's actual shareholding ratio was announced, everyone suddenly realized that their previous speculations were so petty.

"According to Weibo's IPO prospectus, Longxiang Capital (headed by Chen Fei) has invested in Weibo since its inception, and after multiple rounds of financing, it still holds 16% of Weibo's original shares.

Once Weibo is officially listed, Chen Fei, as the controlling chairman of Longxiang Capital, will become its largest individual shareholder!

Moreover! As the chairman of Longxiang Capital, Director Chen Fei has also participated in the investment of more than 1000 companies with distinctive technical characteristics, high growth and high development potential, including Weibo, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Maoyan.com, Xiaomi, Longxiang Aerospace Technology, DJI, CATL, BYD, Huawei, Tencent, JD Finance, etc., becoming an investment institution with industry influence and is called "the entrepreneur behind the entrepreneurs" by the investment industry!
According to inquiries, the company manages approximately US$886 billion in assets, equivalent to approximately RMB 7000 billion.”

As a series of news came to light, the entire entertainment, film and television, and even business circles were in an uproar. All the stars, artists, company bosses, etc. felt as if stars were constantly flowing out in front of their eyes.

You know, the fact that Chen Fei is the largest shareholder of Weibo is enough to surprise many people.

Because Weibo is so special in the film and television media industry, it is no exaggeration to say that it almost restricts the entire entertainment industry!
The development of the film and television industry to this day is inseparable from the assistance of Weibo. Before all movies and TV series are released, Weibo is the preferred promotional channel.

This platform has so much user data that it can even determine the box office success or failure of a movie!

There are many producers and agency bosses in the industry who love it to the core and are even willing to spend huge sums of money to invest in it, but they don't know how to do it.

But now, news suddenly emerged online, saying that Chen Fei is one of the major shareholders of Weibo!

The emergence of this news is no less than a major earthquake for the entire entertainment industry!

What’s more important is that Weibo is just the tip of the iceberg of Chen Fei’s assets. The Longxiang Capital he controls is actually the largest VC investment institution in the country!

The entire film and television industry is well aware of what such a huge scale means.

If Chen Fei wanted, he could even buy out the four companies, including Huayi, Guangxian, Bona Film Group, and Orange Sky, in full.

At this point, everyone finally understood why he would not allow Feiyue Film and Television to go public.

With such terrifying financial strength in hand, why would you go public?
That’s more than 7000 billion RMB. If piled up, it would be hundreds of meters high, and if it collapsed, it could kill people!
And now, these all belong to Chen Fei alone.

The business world is in turmoil because of this news, and the entertainment industry is even more devastated.

After this news was released by the media, everyone looked at the negative information about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei on Weibo and found it extremely ironic.

Using tricks on a platform controlled by others and discrediting the platform owner, what's the difference between this and being a fool?
When seeing the online media platforms directly or indirectly controlled by Longxiang Capital, many companies in the industry who are very good at using water armies suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Because this means that Chen Fei will be invincible in all online media in the future.

Even the people around him, Feiyue Films, Feiyinghuang Agency, etc., can get his protection and avoid unnecessary smears and slanders.

Even those who play tricks behind the scenes will have nowhere to hide from him.

It would take outsiders a lot of money to create sensational news and public opinion, but for him, it is just a matter of changing a code.

When such a huge gap appeared, many people in the industry could not hold back.

Tang people.

Cai Yinong's body was shaking constantly at this moment. It was not because of the cold, but because of fear!
Tangren was also one of the participants in this smear campaign against Chen Fei and Liu Yifei that was caused by "red-eye disease".

And because she controls a large number of online trolls, two-thirds of the online trolls currently active on the Internet were arranged by her.

The remaining 1/3 is arranged by several other companies.

In order to achieve their desired goals, they deliberately chose a time period when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were both abroad and the public relations department had not yet started work, and directly deployed a large number of water armies.

The effect was very significant. Many netizens who did not know the truth were led into the ditch and began to target Chen Fei and Liu Yifei. Some even went to their Weibo posts and called them "traitors" and "traitors."

As for the root cause, these netizens have no idea at all and don’t care.

They are just joining in the fun and following the internet trolls to engage in cyberbullying.

But now, after Chen Fei directly "stopped pretending and revealed his cards", the instigators, including Tang Ren, could no longer sit still.

You know, the current film and television entertainment industry is completely dependent on the Internet channel, but now, Chen Fei has occupied Weibo, the largest media discourse platform.

This also means that he only needs to give the next order to clear up all the negative information about him on the Internet.

On the other hand, those who target him will not be able to hold out for long if they encounter a thunderous counterattack!

"What to do? What to do now?"

Cai Yinong was in a state of panic. If Chen Fei turned around and retaliated against her, she had no idea how to resist.

"Oh, I have allies. If I join forces with other companies, there might be a glimmer of hope..."

Cai Yinong kept talking, then quickly picked up her cell phone and called Wang Zhonglei.

At this time, on Huayi's side.

When Wang Zhonglei saw the screen of the mobile phone on the table light up, he turned his head and glanced at it with some annoyance.

Looking at the three words "Cai Yinong", he felt his head swelling and his heart was filled with annoyance.

After pressing the hang-up button and turning off the phone, he looked up at Wang Zhongjun, frowned and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"Ugh!"

Wang Zhongjun sighed deeply, feeling very upset.

Huayi has gone through 21 years of ups and downs. Over the years, it has suppressed countless artists by relying on its status in the industry and its means of manipulating public opinion.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Now, not only are my shoes wet, but my whole body is also in the water.

After thinking for a while, Wang Zhongjun stood up and walked out, saying, "I'll go find the person above. You go ahead and make arrangements to withdraw all the navy troops and try your best to push the responsibility onto Chengtian, Bona and Tangren.

We failed this time. We should try to avoid him and not provoke him again."

Apart from a slight headache, Wang Zhongjun was not as scared as Cai Yinong.

Huayi is different from other companies in many ways. As the first private film and television company in China to be successfully listed, there are people above it who are taking care of it. Even if Chen Fei wants to retaliate, he probably won't go too far. After all, Huayi is protected by someone whose name begins with the Chinese character "国".

As long as Huayi can develop better and better in the future, no one can touch them!
Here, the two brothers of the Wang family are trying to find a remedy, while on the other side, Bona, Chengtian and Tangren are also thinking of their own remedies.

Over at Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at the news online and were speechless for a long time.

At this moment, the two of them inexplicably felt as if they had gone around the gates of hell!

A few hours ago, when Zeng Jia saw the negative information about Liu Yifei on the Internet, he also bought a lot of press releases, ready to launch a wave of "pushing down the wall when everyone falls".

Yang Mi did not refuse, but chose to agree.

In fact, she also wanted to experience the feeling of "one whale falls, all things come to life".

However, before they could take action, a lot of news that caused the entire entertainment industry to go crazy was suddenly exposed on the Internet.

"Fortunately we were a step slow, otherwise we would have been doomed!"

Zeng Jia said this with lingering fear, secretly thankful that she hadn't done anything stupid yet.

Yang Mi didn't respond because her mind was in a mess.

Ever since she left Feiyinghuang Agency, she felt more and more that she had been doing stupid things!
In particular, the decision to take on the role in "Tiny Times" brought her considerable profits, but it also affected her subsequent arrangements.

Many film crews made it clear that they would no longer accept her auditions because she was playing a character with distorted values.

All the “causes” that were planted before have now turned into “bitter fruits”!
After filming "Breakup Guru", she has been looking for a new crew, but has never found a suitable one, which made her, a "model worker", very uncomfortable.

But at this moment, Zeng Jia suddenly said, "Mi Mi, I just helped you get a new play yesterday. Here is the script."

Hearing this, Yang Mi frowned slightly: "Another commercial film?"

She no longer wants to act in commercial films, because in her opinion, as an actor, she must act in an art film that can carry the weight and compete for awards.

This is the foundation for her to establish her position in the circle.

Zeng Jia's behavior of helping her take on roles without permission made her very dissatisfied.

This feeling is like suddenly falling into a cage and losing the freedom you should have.

Zeng Jia seemed to have sensed Yang Mi's dissatisfaction and explained, "This is an adaptation of the 2011 South Korean crime thriller film "Blind Witness," directed by the famous South Korean director An Sang-hoon."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's expression eased a little.

Since it is a crime suspense movie, it definitely requires extremely high acting skills from the actors, which is in line with her goal.

And the next second, Zeng Jia continued, "Your partner is currently the most popular traffic star in China, EXO member Lu Han."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes lit up!

She thinks that her box office appeal is pretty good, not to mention Lu Han, who was able to create a Guinness World Record just by forwarding a Weibo post, which has already proven how terrifying her number of fans is!
The cooperation between the two can not only ensure the box office success of the film, but also create a breaking effect, which is the best of both worlds!
Yang Mi took the initiative to ask: "Where's the script? I'll take it back and take a look first."

"here."

Zeng Jia took out the script from the drawer under her desk and handed it over.

Looking at Yang Mi's back as she turned and left, her face gradually became gloomy.

She thought she had completely controlled Yang Mi and turned her into a worker, but from the communication between the two just now, Yang Mi seemed to still have some "resistance".

"Oh, then let's continue playing!"

She snorted coldly, and a lot of bad ideas popped up in her mind again.

Since opening this media company, Zeng Jia has considered herself the boss. Although Yang Mi has always regarded herself as a partner, in her opinion, Yang Mi is just a senior employee working for her.

In order to make this worker work honestly and in accordance with the rules in the future, she has arranged many means and strategies.

……

Time soon came to noon, and when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei each posted a certificate of "Chinese citizenship" on their personal Weibo accounts, all the rumors were dispelled.

It was not until this time that many people in the industry suddenly discovered that Liu Yifei had somehow become a Chinese citizen, instead of her previous Chinese American identity.

Soon after, Weibo and other entertainment news websites also made efforts to successfully clear out many of the malicious comments, public opinions, and smear campaigns online.

In just one hour, the Internet returned to calm, and all the rumors about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei disappeared without a trace.

Although many people are still discussing Chen Fei's identity as the chairman of Longxiang Capital, Liu Yifei successfully withdrew and escaped the siege of public opinion.

Seeing this situation, many film and television production companies and brokerage companies in the industry were very envious.

This is the advantage of having the right to speak in the media; you can always extricate yourself from trouble in the shortest possible time.

……

Chen Fei's phone finally turned on.

As expected, calls came in one after another, either to congratulate or to inquire about news.

After briefly chatting about some topics that could be discussed, he once again threw himself into the filming of "The Revenant".

As for the "behind-the-scenes masters" such as Tangren, Huayi, Bona, and Orange Sky, he had already made arrangements.

They are just a bunch of little grasshoppers. They won't jump around for long.

Time quickly turned to late March, and the filming of "The Revenant" moved from Canada to Argentina.

At the same time, the mainland film industry has ushered in a new era!

"The science fiction film The Martian, directed by Guo Fan and starring Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming and others, has officially reached the 30 billion box office mark today!"

"There are still 10 days left before the film is released, and the box office is expected to rise significantly."

"The Chinese-language film market has officially entered the 30 billion box office era!"

"Feiyue Films has once again broken the box office record for domestic films. Its contracted director Guo Fan has become the first director to join the 30 billion yuan box office club for domestic films. Chen Fei and Liu Yifei have officially entered the roster of actors in the 30 billion yuan box office club, standing out from the crowd!"

As hot news continued to emerge one after another, the entire film industry felt as if it was undergoing a "complete change".

We just entered the 20 billion box office era two months ago, how come we suddenly entered the 30 billion box office era?
Chen Fei received a call from Guo Fan in China.

"Director Chen? I... I am not dreaming, am I?"

"What do you think? Why don't you slap yourself and see if it hurts?"

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the next second he actually heard a "click" sound coming from the phone.

"Fuck! It hurts! I'm not dreaming! This is real! I'm a director in the 30 billion box office club of Chinese-language films!"

Hearing the excited roar, Fade Chen just smiled softly and behaved very calmly.

He himself is already a director with a global box office of tens of billions of dollars. A small Chinese-language movie with a box office of only 30 billion is not enough to make him shout with excitement, and it can't even cause any waves in his heart.

After venting his inner excitement, Guo Fan finally got down to business:

"Director Chen, I have created a new script and have sent it to your email. If you have time, please give me some advice and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."

New script?
Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it and replied casually, "Okay, I'll watch it when I get back after today's filming is finished."
