Chapter 802: Melee, discouraged Liu Yifei

On this day of family reunion, when Li Mu received news from Zheng Zhihao who was far away in Hong Kong, he quickly called back.

"Mr. Li, we have successfully completed the task and have fulfilled our mission."

Zheng Zhihao said excitedly, because today he was leading the senior management team to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to witness Maoyan's official listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

And in the end, Maoyan's performance on that day was still very encouraging. Although it did not rise sharply, it rose slightly by 1% and did not fall below the issue price of HK$14.82.

You have to know that during the capital winter in 18, many stocks fell below their issue prices. Even new economy companies such as Xiaomi Technology and Meituan Dianping suffered from unsatisfactory performance after listing.

"Thank you for your hard work. Have a good meal. Don't worry about the expense. I'll pay for it. Sorry for delaying everyone's New Year celebrations."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we won't save money for you."

Zheng Zhihao could also hear the voices of other senior executives. It was obvious that a lot of effort and time had been put into this listing, and the final finishing work had to be done after the market closed before it was officially over.

At this time, the report of Maoyan's listing was also quietly released, but on New Year's Eve, few people would pay special attention to this news which was not very popular.

But for Maoyan, this listing also means the end of a seven-year long run.

It is not easy for Maoyan to survive in the once fiercely competitive online ticketing market.

However, going public does not mean the end of these difficult times, as Maoyan still faces many problems.

For example, with the dual support of Meituan and Tencent, how can we open up new battlefields while maintaining our dominance?
It may be wondered how Rumengying and Guangxian, as the joint largest shareholders of Maoyan, will collaborate with Meituan and Tencent to form advantages in the industrial chain?

These are the problems facing Li Mu, Wang Changtian and Maoyan executives.

"It's better to be listed on the A-share market. Listing is the end point." After Li Mu hung up the phone, he thought for a long time and couldn't help muttering.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Shen Teng... these directors and actors with the greatest box office appeal all joined the melee.

In the end, will everyone be happy or will everyone be sad? The answer has been revealed.

However, New Year's Day was not a day to sleep in. Li Mu got up in a daze and yawned. The residual warmth of the seat next to him was still there, and it was obvious that he had just gotten up not long ago. He just didn't see anyone.

Not far away, two voices were heard, one clear and pleasant, the other a childish voice.

"Mom, this dress is so red"

"Yes, we should wear new red clothes during the Chinese New Year. It's festive. Okay, okay." Liu Yifei said with great satisfaction as she looked at the little boy wearing a modified version of the Hanfu with bright red embroidery.

But then he shook his head and said, "Oh, and I have to braid my hair."

"How many nests should I have?"

"You don't know how to do it yet. Mom will tie it up for you. Then you can show it to your dad, grandparents and grandma. They will definitely praise you." Liu Yifei bent over, her fair and slender hands fiddling with the little girl's hair flexibly.

After a while, the little boy's braids were tied, and Li Mu happened to come over at this time.

"Dad, look at how little my hair has changed." The little boy pointed at his hair happily.

“It looks good, really good!”

Li Mu's eyes lit up as well. The festive bright red dress, which had a bit of Hanfu style, paired with the pigtails, was indeed very cute, just like a little princess walking out of a painting.

"That nest needs to be shown to grandparents and grandma."

Hearing Li Mu's praise, the little boy smiled even more, and then he trotted to the living room, ready to show it to everyone.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene, and then leaned on Li Mu's shoulder.
People stayed at home more on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and started visiting relatives and friends on the second day. However, Li Mu and Liu Yifei's phones kept ringing since last night, including early in the morning.

At this time, major Spring Festival movies are already competing in theaters.

Before 11 o'clock in the evening, various film and television reports came in.

"According to Maoyan data, as of 10:13.3 last night, the total box office of the mainland film market on the first day of the Lunar New Year was billion, setting a new record for the domestic box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In terms of single films, the three films "Crazy Alien", "Flying Life" and "The New King of Comedy" formed the first echelon of competition during the Spring Festival, among which "Crazy Alien" temporarily took the lead with a single-day box office of over 4 million yuan.

As soon as the data from the first day of the Spring Festival came out, the entire film and television industry felt the excitement boiling again.

After all, last year's Spring Festival box office was 13 billion, and we thought it might not be broken this year, but who would have thought it was actually broken.

However, "Crazy Alien", produced by Mengying Media, once again took the lead, which made the industry somewhat envious.

Because the competitiveness has lasted for two years, this piece of cake can be said to be eaten to the fullest.

However, the box office rankings of the Spring Festival period soon changed.

On February 2, the second day of the Spring Festival, the single-day movie box office of "The New King of Comedy", which had been ranked second with a box office of 6 million, plummeted by 2.8%, and the single-day box office fell to fourth place, overtaken by the domestic animated film "Boonie Bears: The Wild Age".

The word of mouth is also quite bad, with only a passing score of 6.0 on Douban. It is obvious that its stamina will be quite insufficient.

Zeng Maojun of Wanda is very happy because Wanda's Spring Festival movie season this year is also a good harvest. Although the release of "Love in the City 2" is still a long way off, as a producer, Wanda has appeared in "Crazy Alien", "Flying Life", "Integrity" and "Boonie Bears: The Wild Bunch", which is definitely a perfect answer.

This year's Spring Festival movie season was enthusiastically watched, led by "Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life".

But as the saying goes, every festive season you gain three pounds, and if you look closely you gain three kilograms.

During the Chinese New Year, people eat and drink a lot. There are many people visiting, chatting, eating melon seeds and gossiping, and it is inevitable to chew something.

If the weight gain is put on the little kid, then that's fine.

But if it happens to Liu Yifei, it would be a trouble.

Although it’s not as exaggerated as gaining three kilograms, the obvious number is a bit glaring on the scale.

"Damn it, the fat on my belly is like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how hard I try to shake it off, it won't go away. I'm getting fatter again."

Liu Yifei pinched her little swimming ring with her hands, wanting to cry but without tears.

"Mom, I'm fat, I don't have that much," the little bun said, and even pinched his belly to show off. Then Liu Yifei pinched his face, "If you had that much, you would be really fat."

"No, I have to exercise and cheer up. I'm going to eat cucumbers and tomatoes to lose weight." Liu Yifei began to encourage herself.

"Lao Ning will treat you to dinner tonight." Li Mu added lightly.

"Okay, let's finish this meal and leave tomorrow."

"Forgot? We will treat Teacher Tian to dinner tomorrow."

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow." Liu Yifei said, feeling a little discouraged. "No, why are there so many dinner parties?"

"I usually see you eating happily and never complain." Li Mu couldn't help but teasing.

"Ah, but I wasn't fat at that time. How could I go out and meet people?"

After saying that, Liu Yifei fell heavily on the bed, looking as if she had lost all desire to live.

At this time, the originally lively Spring Festival holiday unexpectedly became a big scandal in the industry because of Zhai Tianlin's question "What is CNKI?" during a live broadcast, and it became a hot topic for a while.

After all, Zhai Tianlin has created a persona for himself that can be described as a highly educated entertainer, and he even announced on Weibo a few years ago that he was hired by Peking University's postdoctoral research station.

As soon as the Weibo post was released, it immediately aroused the admiration of the fans. He is a postdoctoral fellow in the entertainment industry. Moreover, since Zhai Tianlin's role in the hit TV series "White Deer Plain" became popular, his number of fans has been increasing day by day. Although there were some negative news about him such as "refusing to take photos with fans", it still couldn't stop the highlight of his personality such as "high education, honesty, good acting skills, and hard work".

"Zhai Tianlin doesn't know about CNKI." This incident quickly aroused the curiosity of gossip lovers in the fan circle. People began to question Zhai's academic qualifications, and the mask began to be torn off.

Because as long as you have a college degree or above, knowing CNKI is basically common knowledge. After all, viewing research papers on CNKI and uploading graduation theses to CNKI are routine operations.

It can be said that CNKI is as common as eating for highly educated people.

For a time, Zhai Tianlin’s academic qualifications were questioned and began to be widely discussed on Weibo.

"Old Li, did you see that? Yu Zheng also came to take advantage of Zhai Tianlin's fun and testified for him."

During the dinner, Ning Hao glanced at the message on his phone and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm? Let me see." Before Li Mu could move, Xing Aina quickly responded to Ning Hao's words and picked up the phone directly.

"I watch it too. I watch it too." Liu Yifei is no exception.

Eating melons is indeed human nature. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't slow down and picked up his mobile phone to take a look.

At this time, Yu Zheng probably didn't want to miss any hot spots and couldn't help but get involved.

In the hot search, Yu Zheng posted on Weibo that he asked Zhai Tianlin for his doctoral thesis and was very impressed after reading it.

At the same time, Yu Zheng also uploaded screenshots of the chat.

"Did you see the problem? Don't read the comments," Ning Hao said quickly when he saw Li Mu also looking at his phone.

"Ah? Problem? What's the problem?" Xing Aina had obviously finished reading it. "It's just a few screenshots of files."

"Yes!" Liu Yifei was also a little confused.

"Zhai Tianlin is unlucky too." Li Mu closed his phone and couldn't help but laugh. "How dare he send this? An undergraduate thesis wouldn't be 645K in size, let alone a doctoral student. This is really a hammer, there's no way he can escape."

"Huh? There's even this detail?" Liu Yifei and Xing Aina looked back in confusion, "It's over, Sister Na, I even forgot the size of my original paper."

"What a coincidence, mine is too, but it seems much bigger than this." Xing Aina was also a little embarrassed.

"Nonsense, it's normal for undergraduate thesis documents to be dozens of megabytes in size. They must be much larger than this."

Ning Hao couldn't help but complain, and then he met Xing Aina's gaze, and his momentum instantly weakened a bit.
