Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 742 More and more concerts!

After saying this, Li Zhifan raised the Oscar statuette and threw it over his head vigorously.

The audience was dumbfounded again, thinking that Li Zhifan was going to smash the statuette.

However, the little golden man was only thrown about one meter above his head, then fell back, and was firmly held by Li Zhifan.

It seems that his hands have magical powers, or that Li Zhifan's hands and this little golden man are a pair of positive and negative magnets. Li Zhifan can hold it firmly in his hand without looking up, which is too surprising .

The audience came back to their senses, and the applause and shouts rang out one after another.

Everyone is not only for Li Zhifan's words just now, but also for his "unique skill". At this moment, in the impression of all Westerners, the Chinese have added a layer of mystery.

Mark Smith on the side of the stage turned blue and then pale. Li Zhifan's last speech was in English, and he understood it, but as an elite, Mark Smith would never turn back, because it would be of no use to him. On the contrary, it is easy to offend more people, especially the Oscar Organizing Committee.

So after Li Zhifan left the stage, the first thing Mark Smith said when he stepped onto the stage was: "Sorry, my words made Li uncomfortable. I am here to apologize to Li and to all Chinese Americans, but I also have my insistence. Children's problems, women's problems, and vulnerable groups' problems are really serious in some countries in South Asia and Central Asia, especially India, oh my God, I also saw news yesterday that a woman was raped on a bus Sixteen men raped the news, but the local court actually judged that it was the responsibility and fruit of the women. What kind of country is this! There are also countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines. There are many foundries that use child labor, and the youngest is only six years old. , it's incredible!"

Although Mark Smith added such a paragraph, saying that he was not talking about all Asians, especially not Chinese, but South Asian countries, but his ridicule before was indeed true, and it involved Li Zhifan. There is no doubt, who He could hear allusions.

Publishing this self-justified statement at this moment is even more annoying.

The actors in the front row were alright, they just kept silent and didn't jump up and curse.

But many filmmakers in the back row who were not shortlisted were different. There was resentment in their stomachs, but at this moment they found a channel to vent.

An Indian filmmaker took off his shoes and threw them on the stage, shouting: "Idiot! Bitch!"

Besides him, there was another black man who also stood up and threw a tomato towards the stage, which just hit Mark Smith's chest, and instantly exploded into pieces.

There was an uproar!

Mark Smith was even more confused!
As early as when the audience lost their shoes, the on-site director team had a premonition, so they cut the camera to the second scene.

This is the first time since the Oscars have been held for nearly a hundred years, the camera has been cut to the second scene during the live broadcast.

But the second scene is just a separate room, the walls are similar to the background of the stage. A backup host stood in front of the camera and said with a smile on his face: "Oh! I am very happy that "Coco" can win these honors. Now let's enter the commercial time , after the commercial, we will play a collection of highlights from "Coco" for everyone!"

Audiences who watched the Oscars around the world failed to see what happened on the spot, and after the commercials and highlights of "Coco", they found that the host had been changed and became a male host named David Krauss .

As for Mark Smith, he never appeared again in the second half.

In addition to the best animation, "Remember-me" also won the statuette for the best original song. This time, Li Zhifan still received the award, but compared with the generous accusations in the previous award declaration, this time there is a little more feeling and emotion. Backtracking the entire creative process of "Coco", as well as the time spent with all the behind-the-scenes participants of DreamWorks and so on.

After the awards ceremony, the award-winning crews will start celebrating. In addition to the award-winning film crews, the seven major Hollywood film companies will also hold a party after the awards ceremony, inviting many Hollywood stars to participate.

Li Zhifan was also invited by many film companies, because he does not belong to any of the seven major companies. The eighth largest in the current rumors - the Eastern Group, has not officially entered the game, only relying on "Coco" and a Mergers and acquisitions over the past few years are not acceptable.

Of the seven major film companies in Hollywood, which one has a history of decades, or even a century-old film company, these are the real behind-the-scenes players.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Big Seven, Li Zhifan is a favorite, and if he can be pulled into the banner by any one, it will be a very high weight. This time Li Zhifan won two awards for the first time in Hollywood, and it is an animation For feature films, if he makes a live-action film, whether it is in the North American market, the Chinese market, or the global market, he will definitely have a higher honor.

However, Li Zhifan's family didn't go. He chose to go back to DreamWorks with Angkers, because there were partners waiting for them to hold their own celebration party.

In addition to the entire staff of DreamWorks, their families, including Zhou Ke, also came to the scene with Little Cherry and Little Tudou.

Little Tudou is still a baby in swaddling, but Little Cherry is different. It is very fresh to come to this kind of place for the first time, especially all kinds of cartoon dolls can be seen everywhere in the company, which is naturally what attracts Little Cherry.

The most famous doll in DreamWorks is a big beige bear with a height of about three meters. Standing at the foot of the big bear, Little Cherry looked up at the big beige bear and exclaimed "Wow".

"like or not?"

Li Zhifan picked up Little Cherry from behind and brought him close to Big Bear, "Come on, touch his belly!"

——At Li Zhifan's height, he can only touch the belly of the beige bear.

"like!"

Little Cherry said, "But it's too big, I can't fit it in the house!"

"Hey, do you still want to take him home?"

Li Zhifan scratched her nose, "If you want to see it later, you can come anytime!"

"really?"

Little Cherry kept laughing excitedly, and patted Big Bear's stomach vigorously with both hands, looking extremely happy.

At this time, Silver came over with two wine glasses: "Li! Congratulations!"

Li Zhifan put down Little Cherry, and told her to find the children brought by other staff to play together, then took Silvo's wine glass, touched him, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the support of the guys! I also have to thank you Your help!"

"Should be!"

Silver asked insincerely, "By the way, at the headquarters, have you ever said when a new case will be given, or have any new plans?"

"not yet!"

Li Zhifan said, "But it is estimated that the final integration will be carried out in the second half of the year. DreamWorks will be completely merged into William Entertainment, but the label will still be retained. As for personnel..."

He smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I can't make a decision in this regard, but I will recommend it for you!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Silver is very happy, "As long as I can continue to manage DreamWorks, I have been here for a long time, I am familiar with everything here, and I want to work in this position until I retire. This is my sincere heart." , but I dare not say that in front of William's executives, so I can only say this to you alone."

"Ha ha!"

Li Zhifan smiled, he is not a qualified manager, but in terms of content planning, any company leader would not underestimate his ability, so Fang Xiao asked him to take over the position, which is quite appropriate.

But the most critical thing right now is the ownership of the timeline.

Probably after Li Zhifan's tour this time, he will sign an agreement with Fang Xiao, and Dongfang Group will complete the acquisition of Timeline, and he will also complete the purpose of most artists to start a company - cash out.

The difference is that other artists start companies purely for the purpose of cashing out, but Li Zhifan didn't think about it at first, but only after getting in touch with and understanding more in the circle, did he understand some truths.

An entertainment company established by artists, the best final destination is to be taken over by capital or giants, and can be acquired at its peak, that is the perfect ending for this company.

And artists can also go to form the next company, the next company, and then continue to be merged and acquired, and continue to cash out.

If you can't cash out successfully, there may be only one end in the final situation-being liquidated.

Even if it does not go bankrupt, it will be closed due to reasons such as the end of the artist's artistic career, birth, old age, illness and death.

On this point, Li Zhifan sees it very openly and thoroughly, because there are too many lessons learned from the past.

Even if they don't close their doors, they can only have a small position in this market, and they won't have the power to divide the cake like those giants and chaebols in the entertainment industry.

In the history of Hollywood, there have been many film companies that were prosperous for a while, but due to the unstable quality and profits of the films, the glory will quickly decline after a few years.

Although Timeline is not a simple film company, but a very comprehensive entertainment company, and its main business is entertainment brokerage, this is precisely because of Li Zhifan's own development, and also because his business is too big.

In the history of entertainment, there is an entertainment company established by a certain king of Xiangjiang. When it was established, several films invested and shot, as well as the albums it produced sold well, and it even signed a bunch of newcomers, but the money it earned was only the same, because the filming Movies and albums are very expensive projects, and finally had to develop branches to engage in real estate. In the end, the real estate route became popular, and this king also lost the idea of ​​​​continuing to develop movies, and was dragged down by the distribution, and all the movies and records business It was packaged and sold to other film companies, and it was completely changed into a real estate company. However, after entering the mainland market, due to various reasons, it lost nothing.

In China, there is even a case of "three surname changes" by a well-known director company. The film company he formed only made one blockbuster film. He took a lot of investment in the early stage, but the box office was not good. Some of the shares were sold to Huayi, the largest film company in China at that time, but soon the company was abandoned by Huayi, and all the shares held by Huayi were sold to the newly developed Guanghui Films, and finally the director gave up all the shares in hand , The debt was paid to Brilliance Pictures, and the company finally disappeared from the market under the dismemberment and diversion of Brilliance.

Cases like this happen every month in the entertainment industry. Later, everyone finally understands that if the company they form has a firm foothold, it must go public. But this is another science, and it’s not a good movie you can make. , or if you can write good music, you will be able to successfully go public and make money. It's better to package the company to a chaebol or industry giant, exchange some shares and eat sesame oil.

Dongfang Entertainment, which was separated from Dongfang Group, will definitely go public in the end, and Dongfang Group has this purpose, and Fang Xiao is a good player in the stock market, knowing how to split the company's business and acquire other companies' businesses to obtain greater profits.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhifan was willing to sell the timeline.

……

A week later, Li Zhifan returned to China.

And his upcoming tour is even more densely arranged.

Usually, even superstars at the superstar level have at most four or five solo concerts in a month. However, Li Zhifan has seven shows in a month at most, and three in a month at least.

Wuhan, Zhuankou Stadium!

Guangzhou, Tianhe Stadium!

Taiyuan, Red Lantern Stadium!
Xi'an, Provincial Stadium!
Fuzhou, Provincial Sports Center Stadium!
Chongqing, Sports Center Stadium!

Shenzhen, Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Stadium!
Kunming, Tuodong Stadium!

Nanchang, Provincial Sports Center Stadium!

SZ City Sports Center Stadium!

……

With the continuous advancement of the concert schedule and more and more additional performances, the domestic tour is no longer the 33 performances previously reported. Currently, Li Zhifan himself knows that the number of concerts negotiated has exceeded 90 performances.

Among them, Xiangjiang Hung Hom Stadium has scheduled 21 games, which means that Li Zhifan will play in Hung Hom for a month.

In addition, there are 4 games scheduled at the Taiwan Arena, and some countries in East Asia have also scheduled games, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

But the advantage of this is that Li Zhifan will have a lot of room for production of the live new song album that he wants to produce, and he can choose better high-quality sites from more sites.

In terms of music arrangement and accompaniment, you can also make new attempts with the band to improve the details.

The new songs were introduced to the public one after another, which also created huge waves.

Every time a concert is over, there will be netizens asking everywhere on the Internet, which new song will be sung this time.

Ever since the number of performances increased, Li Zhifan's singing of new songs has slowed down. What he wants is the final live album, which is the result of hard work.

Moreover, Hua Na has already made multiple versions plans for this Live album.

In addition to the originally planned version, there will also be a concert celebration version. In addition to new songs, this version will also have a B disc with more than a dozen old songs, and the version selected for new songs will also be different.
