That year Huayu

The helicopter slowly landed at the crew's residence on the bank of the Mekong River. Not long after, Lin Nan took off his headphones and stepped down.

This scene has been filmed for nearly five days. As of this morning, when the camera was turned off for a break, it was only the last third of the scene.

It can only be said that the scene on the Mekong River was indeed very slow and tiring to shoot, but this scene was also the last and most exciting climax.

"Director Lin, the crew prepared a barbecue at noon today."

From a distance, Li Bingbing was waving, and today was also the day she left the crew.

"Have a drink later to celebrate the official completion of your scene."

"That one glass is not enough, at least one bottle, right? Haha..."

Hearing this, Lin Nan could only smile and said nothing; the big actresses, especially the four actresses and the two ices, are all "women in wine"!

Of course, this is also a kind of dregs industry culture, but it cannot be changed at all.

The crew's base, which consisted of more than 20 camouflage tents, seemed to have a picnic atmosphere;

The catering team accompanying the crew was indeed having an open-air barbecue, and all the crew members gathered around in groups of three or four, talking and laughing, which was very lively.

"Lin Nan, come and sit here."

Ning Hao patted the seat next to him and called Lin Nan, who had just sat down for less than two minutes; Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing and Zhu Yawen were sitting at the same table.

"If everything goes well, you can sacrifice and finish the filming tomorrow!"

Lin Nan glanced at Lao Zhu and joked.

Zhu Yawen didn't care, and directly opened a bottle of beer to get out of the situation: "I can't wait to leave early. The mosquito bites these days are almost torturing me to death."

"Then I will fulfill your wish and make the scene of your sacrifice more tragic." Ning Hao picked up the cup and joked.

While the few people were talking, the catering team had already served dishes to the tables, mainly seafood and beef, and there was also a fruit buffet on the side.

"Tudou is going to hold a financing dinner tonight, why don't you look excited at all?" Ning Hao and Lin Nan clinked their glasses.

"I'm exhausted from filming, I can't get excited."

Lin Nan told the truth, fortunately the people of Golden Shield blocked all the official media who wanted to visit the crew, otherwise it would be even more tiring.

"Come, celebrate the completion of the female lead."

"Congratulations on the completion!"

"Thank you everyone. When the crew officially completes the filming, we will meet again in the capital."

Li Bingbing was not polite, he smiled and picked up a whole bottle of beer and drank with a few people. This was also a rare occasion to deepen personal connections.

"How about changing your wine?"

"No, no, everyone is the same."

At the same time, in the capital, Lin Nan Film.

Liu Yifei sat in the office of Director Lin, with a dazzling array of lunch on the desk in front of her; while Shu Chang sat in an office chair, eating with them on the side.

Along with lunch, there were two scripts on the table, with the same eight characters on the front page: "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

"Take one back and read it first. This kind of script will take a long time to review, basically more than one and a half months, so there is no rush.

As for the casting, when Lin Nan comes back, let him help us choose. After all, we don't know many actors in the industry."

Liu Yifei talked to Shu Chang while eating; she really couldn't do the casting, and the same was true for Hongxingwu. Fortunately, Jiang Xingrou would also help to check.

Shu Chang nodded with a smile and said confidently:

"Well, don't worry. I can't say anything else, but I am much better than Yang Mi in acting! What's more, this is a TV series, and I am a young veteran actor!"

Liu Yifei had no doubt about Shu Chang's promise;

Because her bestie is already very strong, she has acted in as many hit TV series as her, and she is also a great beauty in terms of appearance, and her popularity is even higher.

"Then let's look forward to your second vixen. In addition, Hongxingwu will submit the script for review in the next few days and publicly approve the project of this TV series..."

While Liu Yifei was speaking, she took advantage of Shu Chang's unpreparedness and instantly snatched the last prawn from her bowl, which made the latter angry:

"Xixi, you are too much. You have grown a butt after eating so much!"

…………

Since noon, many industry leaders have arrived at the Capital Airport one after another.

Compared to the stars in the film and television entertainment industry, these people are undoubtedly very low-key.

In just a few days, Ren Zhonglun arrived in Beijing for the second time. This time he came for the evening dinner.

Since June this year, Shanghai Film Group's Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. has also started its financing and listing journey, and has gone through two rounds so far.

Unlike the low-key financing and strict issuance of "tickets" by China Film Co., Ltd., Shanghai Film Film seems to be more courageous.

After two rounds of financing, the list of shareholders that has been determined is mainly composed of capital and filmmakers in the film and television industry, supplemented by a small number of financial institutions, and even some actors and stars have received "ordinary tickets" to purchase "very few" original shares.

In this comparison, Shanghai Film Film is naturally very powerful!

"At the time of the Magic City International Film Festival, I invited Lin Nan to attend our financing dinner. Although he was present, he refused... I hope this time will be a good result. After all, a state-owned enterprise shareholder can provide a lot of convenience for listed companies!"

Sitting in the car, Ren Zhonglun talked to his secretary.

When a recognized high-quality company raises funds, it is not actually about money... His only concern is China Film Group, because the two state-owned enterprises belong to the same industry and type, so there will inevitably be competition, and the first round of financing will definitely not introduce both China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group.

The secretary on the co-pilot seat understood his boss's thoughts, and immediately agreed: "Our Shanghai Film Group does not have as many rules and regulations as China Film Group, which is more preferred by enterprises."

"Well, that's well said."

Faced with Ren Zhonglun's praise, the secretary smiled, but his heart was not like that;

From his "bystander" perspective: the word "state-owned enterprise" is not 100% advantageous, and sometimes it may even be a disadvantage...

...

In the afternoon, the first news that attracted the attention of the film industry was not from the mainland, but from Hong Kong Island.

"Directed and produced by Chen Kexin, and mainly invested by our production company under Chen Kexin, the art film "July and Ansheng" adapted from the novel of the same name is jointly produced by Hong Kong Geek Films, Jiaying Films under the chairman of Star Media Tan Hong, and Alibaba Films. The project has been officially approved."

"It is reported that the film will be directed by Zeng Guoxiang, the son of Hong Kong star Zeng Zhiwei, which is his first time to independently direct a film... The two female protagonists of the film have been confirmed to be played by mainland actors Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu..."

"Director Chen Kexin said in an interview that a group of Hong Kong filmmakers and The production team will do their best to train the new generation of Hong Kong film directors..."

A piece of film information spread in the film industry;

The director of the art film personally produced and supervised the film, the top production team, the director directed the film independently for the first time, but he has co-directed many films and was nominated for the Best New Director Award at the Golden Horse Awards... The entire Hong Kong film industry supports this high-quality film project to "train" the next generation of directors...

Combining all the above characteristics, countless actors and agents concluded:

This is the top cake, and it fully meets all the pre-requisites for award-winning films.

Especially in terms of awards, this film has the support of the entire Hong Kong industry. There is no doubt that the Hong Kong industry is very united in supporting the "heirs", and Nicholas Tse is an example!

Tai Yang Chuan He.

When the news of the establishment of "July and Ansheng" was officially announced, all the people in the company congratulated Zhou Dongyu for the first time;

Because at this moment, she was completely settled.

However, the agent couldn't help but remind her after congratulating her:

"The film will start shooting at the beginning of next month, which is only a week away. After you join the crew, you should not only build good relationships with Director Chen and Director Zeng, but also with Ma Sichun, who will be acting with you.

I don't need to say much about the former, they are big figures in the Hong Kong circle; and the latter is the niece of Director Gu Changwei, a princess of the Northwest circle, and you can imagine her connections...

Although you debuted as a Mou girl, you are not from the Northwest circle. The only Mou girl who can speak in that circle is Gong Li... You must remember this."

"The princess of the Northwest circle...so she doesn't need to audition, she can get the role with just a few words..."

Zhou Dongyu didn't smile, and even had some strange emotions on her face, "I know, I will build good relationships in the crew."

"Think more before you speak or do things, just like the last time you recorded "Go Fighting", don't let this happen again, even if you think so in your heart, you can't show it, understand?" The agent reminded again.

'Well, I understand. ’

…

The crew of Operation Mekong landed with a “click”, announcing the end of the afternoon shooting.

The male No. 2 played by Zhu Yawen has been clearly determined to die since he helped his girlfriend to avenge her;

When the shooting starts tomorrow, this character can crash into the captain of the private armed forces and die together, and then the shooting will be completed.

“Only Hanyu’s male No. 1 can survive to the end, and the rest of us have to exit the shooting in a ‘death’ way.”

Zhu Yawen said to herself with a bottle of mineral water.

“The theme of the happy ending is too fake. We adapted a real case, so we have to shoot the cruel parts. Didn’t you see that the ‘military dog’ was sacrificed?” Lin Nan said with a smile.

The next second, the German Shepherd who had just been taken into the car turned around and barked at Director Lin twice, which was very appropriate. Everyone in the crew burst into laughter.

"Haha... it's asking: Director Lin, why are you calling me? Isn't it finished?"

"Hey, Zhu Yawen, when did you learn dog language, or are you a lucky dog?" Lin Nan immediately retorted, little guy, I can't deal with you.

"I'm your uncle."

"Haha, let him finish more tomorrow, it's outrageous." Ning Hao fanned the flames.

"Good idea, adopt it!"

…………

It's past seven in the evening.

A large number of media gathered outside the China World Hotel, but they couldn't get in because it was booked.

And the luxury cars outside were arriving one by one.

Nearly a hundred security personnel were on standby to prevent any media reporters from approaching these vehicles and the people getting out of the cars.

Of course, a considerable number of people who got out of these luxury cars brought their assistants and their own personal bodyguards.

"This is such a big scene!"

"Is that the vice president of Penguin?"

"Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital, Softbank..."

"One of the second-in-command of Alibaba just went in."

"Zhang Zhao of LeTV, Yu Dong of Bonanza, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, Qin Hong of StarMedia..."

"ICBC, CCB, CMB... HSBC... Morgan Stanley..."

"Chairman La of China Film Group, Chairman Ren of Shanghai Film Group... Fuck, is this Poly?"

"Chairman Wang of Guangguang has arrived!"

"Someone from Wanda has arrived, too."

"It's Chairman Cao of Weibo."

"Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu!"

"Is this...someone from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

...

All the media reporters were chattering excitedly outside, their cameras never stopped, and the lens was full of capital and bigwigs!

Among the reporters, there were also many professional media people, such as financial reporters.

At this moment, the banquet hall of the China World Hotel, which was more than 2,000 square meters, was brightly lit and extremely lively.

There were so many delicious foods and fine wines that even the waiters were all tall and beautiful.

Tonight, this was a business dinner for the upper class, high-end and luxurious, full of bigwigs.

At a glance, people from the financial industry, the Internet industry, and the film and television industry all gathered in small groups, chatting and socializing, without exception.

"Director Lin Nan really didn't come tonight? There's no representative either?"

The president of a branch of ICBC asked Wang Changtian with a smile. The accounts of Lin Nan Films are in ICBC.

"Lin Nan's main job is to be a film director, so of course the crew is the most important."

While answering, Wang Changtian clinked glasses with the foreigner of IDG Capital, whom he had dealt with before.

At the same time, the people of Penguin and Alibaba were disgusted with each other.

"You are really greedy. You just swallowed Youku, and you immediately come here to make plans?"

"If Alibaba doesn't do it, it won't do it. Once it does, it must be the largest in the industry; as our President Ma said, Alibaba is to subvert the industry, reform the industry, and lead the industry..."

Although they are both Internet companies, the senior vice president of Penguin still thinks that the other party is too "crazy". Subversion? Alibaba will be cleaned up sooner or later! It will be worse than when it was cleaned up!

People are still entering the venue one after another.

Dong Ping led Xu Zheng in; Huang Xiaoming, Ren Quan, Zhao Wei and others were purely here to socialize.

Wang Changtian was puzzled when he saw Ye Ning chatting with Wang Zhonglei, but he didn't think much about it.

"Sure enough, basically people in the same industry don't communicate with each other, competitors."

Wang Changtian smiled and sighed, the scene on the field at this time was really interesting.

"How are Mr. Wang and his team preparing?"

Catching a senior executive of Tudou, Wang Changtian asked directly.

Although so many people at the scene were holding glasses and talking and laughing, they were actually waiting for Wang Wei, and those delicacies were basically not touched.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang is still preparing in the back and will come out in about 20 minutes."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian understood that he was going to show up at 8:30.

Many people around also heard it, and then they knew it in their hearts.

Wang Wei was indeed in the hotel room, but he was not preparing anything. He had already prepared everything he should have prepared. He was on a video call with Lin Nan at the moment.

"I should have called my producer Liu, but I called you for no reason. It seems that I still can't completely ignore the financing dinner, haha..."

"Then how about a live broadcast for Director Lin? Just turn on the video?"

Wang Wei joked. If it were him, he would definitely come in person. So Lin Nan is already very good!

"That's not necessary. Let's talk about business. You will explain to everyone directly that there are only those in the first round, as well as our conditions and valuation bottom line..."

Lin Nan talked in a nagging manner to save trouble in the future.

At 8:29, Wang Wei stuck to the time and walked into the banquet hall with four Tudou executives and assistants.

The total number of guests and accompanying assistants was more than 300 people. At this moment, everyone cast their eyes over.

"Mr. Wang, I finally saw you."

"Mr. Wang, long time no see."

"Tudou has finally reached this point again, congratulations Mr. Wang."

...

The greetings one after another made the banquet hall noisy in an instant, but fortunately the venue was large enough and people would not feel irritated.

Wang Wei walked onto the stage with a smile on his face. He even saw some old faces, those who had invested in Tudou five years ago. Now he really felt that things had changed.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning had come to the front, and everyone looked at Wang Wei on the stage with burning eyes. It was about to start.

Sure enough.

"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the financing dinner for Tudou's first round of financing. For us, time is money, so I won't waste my words.

I believe that everyone has already investigated the specific situation of Tudou in great detail before coming here tonight, especially friends in the financial and Internet industries..."

The scene was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for Wang Wei's next words.

"Tudou.com's first round of financing was unanimously approved by the company's board of directors, and the shares available for financing accounted for 10%..."

When Wang Wei said the number "10%" from the microphone, all the investors present were excited.

This share is not large, and even compared with other Internet companies, it is very small!

But this also precisely shows the potential and quality of Tudou. It is not short of funds, and the original shareholders are unwilling to let too many people enter the market. They are full of confidence in Tudou.

Wang Wei continued, but the next sentence instantly poured cold water on the investors who were excited.

"... Once the financing is completed, this 10% of the shares will automatically change to Class A shares... If there is a second round of financing, the same will apply."

"Dual-tier equity structure?"

"Tudou will implement AB shares?"

"Isn't this a bit too overbearing for new shareholders?"

"So confident!"

... As Wang Wei's voice fell, many objections were raised at the scene;

But most people remained silent, especially in the Internet industry, because most of their listed companies are AB shares.

"In order to ensure the stable development of the company after listing, Tudou has reached an intention with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market in a dual-tier equity structure... to avoid the situation of cuckoos occupying the magpie's nest like Youku!"

Many people at the scene looked at Alibaba's second-in-command intentionally or unintentionally. Was this a name-calling and a warning?

Based on basic etiquette, the latter still kept smiling and said nothing, but what he was muttering in his heart was unknown to others.

The scene was full of foxes, and many people had already made some vague guesses. That is, Ali is in a bit of trouble.

Wang Wei didn't pay much attention to the reactions of the crowd, but Wang Changtian was happy to watch the fun, while Ye Ning was serious. He didn't leak the details of Tudou's financing. This was his last ethics.

"Everyone, although Tudou needs financing, it is not too short of funds... So the funds you can provide are just the lowest entry threshold. Whether you can get a share depends on the additional resources you can provide for Tudou..."

Wang Wei's words forced everyone to face up to it.

When other companies raise funds, most of them beg the capital side; when it comes to Tudou, it's the other way around. It's Tudou that is picking and choosing! But this is also the confidence of Tudou, it's reality, and no one thinks it's wrong.

"Additional resources?"

An additional resource immediately dispelled the ideas of many capital parties; these people only have money and no other resources, especially in the film and television industry.

Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao, Wang Zhonglei and others are more and more embarrassed. What resources can they have? What they have, Lin Nan Pictures, Guangguang, Wanda, and even more!

La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and state-owned enterprises such as Poly are still waiting and watching. Their resource is the system!

"Mr. Wang, let's talk about valuation." Penguin's senior vice president said with a smile, already confident. We have traffic! Wang Wei nodded, and everyone on the scene immediately focused their attention, wanting to hear Tudou's first round of market value quotation for himself. "Tudou is the largest film and television copyright owner on the entire network. We have been hoarding film and television copyrights in large quantities since 5 years ago, especially the copyrights of old dramas and old movies, which are basically all here. These are Tudou's assets..." Wang Wei paused, glanced at everyone, and then said calmly: "For Tudou's first round of external financing, we have positioned our market value at 38 billion and plan to accept 1 to 3 new shareholders; you can send your respective quotations, corresponding shares, and additional resources to Tudou in the form of emails or documents in the next two days; we will consider and consider, and then make a decision and dock, and announce the final financing results and new shareholder information on the 1st of next month at the latest, that is, one week later. Everyone, 38 billion is just the starting point... it can be premium!" Wang Wei said the last sentence with a smile, feeling extremely happy. Although this sentence was said to everyone in public, it was also said to the senior vice president of Penguin!

10% of the shares cannot only bring back 3.8 billion.

The dinner officially began, but most of the investors were a little absent-minded after socializing.

Tonight, Tudou's "financing terms" must be reported back as soon as possible, and a meeting will be held to discuss, negotiate, and decide.

"Wang Changtian is really tight-lipped. I have to find Lin Nan to see if I can get it from him..."

Ren Zhonglun glanced at La Peikang and muttered in his heart. The latter was chatting with Zhang Zhao of LeTV about something, which seemed to be about "The Great Wall".

...

"Mr. Wang, Alibaba's influence is resources. We have our presence and subsidiaries in all walks of life. Tudou and Youku's mutual exchange can achieve the whole industry... monopoly... one-man rule..."

Wang Wei was talking to HSBC people when he saw Alibaba's second-in-command coming over. His arrogant tone was really indescribable.

"Then I look forward to seeing Ali's 'quotation document' tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Wang Wei said perfunctorily.
