That year Huayu

Chapter 897 Youku...will die sooner or later!

"The large-scale costume TV series "The Young Lady" of the same name, controlled by Hua Zeketon Film and Television and adapted from the popular IP novel, will be officially launched at Hengdian Film and Television City this morning."

"It is reported that the TV series "Splendid Young" is a project participated by Tang Yan Studio, and he is also the producer for the first time; the drama stars Tang Yan, Luo Jin, Wu Jianhao, Mao Xiaoxun and others."

"Following Tudou, Penguin issued an announcement: The group will complete all financing procedures with Tudou within a week and officially join the Tudou family..."

"According to people familiar with the matter, many companies' financing quotations for Tudou were higher than Penguin's, but they were all rejected. This result was unexpected, but it is also reasonable!"

Throughout the morning, news about the film and television entertainment industry mixed with news about Tudou dominated the front pages of various media platforms, making it dizzying.

In the light of day, Wang Changtian once again faced more "turbulent" phone harassment than the previous days. Who made Lin Nan turn off her phone, Wang Wei refused to see guests, and Wanda was even more domineering?

"This result is a decision made after careful consideration based on the future development needs of Tudou."

"IDG is not short of this project. Although we are old friends, I am not the only shareholder of Tudou..."

"The Poly family, which has such a big business, is just a video website. There is no way to kill a chicken with a big knife..."

…

Wang Changtian was exhausted from more than a dozen phone calls in a row.

He was sitting on an office chair and drinking some cold tea. Although he was tired, the joyful smile on his face could not be hidden.

"The current market value of Raytheon is only 19 billion, but Tudou is only the first round of financing, and its valuation has reached 40 billion. Thinking about it now, when Lin Nan asked me to invest in Tudou, luckily I didn't hesitate, haha..."

"Director Wang, what are you doing?"

Looking at Wang Changtian who stood up and was about to walk out, the secretary asked quickly.

"Go out and hide, so that no one comes to block the door of the company. What's wrong with you?"

Wang Changtian looked at the secretary who just came in and asked the same question.

"Director Wang, Ali sent someone to send an invitation letter, saying that they, Director Ma, are the host and would like to invite you to have lunch with them."

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Changtian's face suddenly faded a bit, "Is this because you don't want to give up or what?"

If someone else wanted to invite him to a dinner because of the potato issue, he would definitely refuse without even thinking about it.

But Alibaba’s Jack Ma... This is now the "god" of the Internet industry, a national idol and mentor!

Wang Changtian picked up his cell phone, flipped through the address books of Lin Nan and others, and at the same time told his secretary: "Bring me the invitation letter."

"Okay, Director Wang."

…

A little separation is better than a newlywed, this is probably the feeling.

Lin Nan lazily slumped on the sofa and answered the phone. His reaction was a little slow, like a deflated ball, but his inner emotions were high;

And Liu Yifei next to her... well, she is refreshed, energetic, pink and tender, and in extremely good condition - a true vixen who absorbs yang energy!

"Director Lin, when are you free in the afternoon or evening, let's meet?"

"Director Cao, are you talking about potatoes?" Lin Nan guessed Cao Guowei's purpose.

"Well, it's about Tudou. Director Lin should understand that to a certain extent, the two sides are complementary."

Just when Lin Nan was about to speak, Wang Changtian's call came in.

"Then let's go tonight. Dong Cao will decide on a place and just give me the address."

"okay."

When I got Wang Changtian's call, the first thing he said was: "Has Ali been looking for you?"

Lin Nan glanced at the rosy-cheeked Liu Yifei, who was leaning there holding a tablet and chatting with Shu Chang.

"Yue Jun made all the calls to his home landline. Do you think Ali is looking for me?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Wang Wei is the manager of Tudou, so he definitely can't go. Ali shouldn't be able to invite Wanda, right?" Lin Nan asked rhetorically.

"Well, Ye Ning said that Big Pharaoh just asked people to ignore him. Haha..."

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The conflict between e-commerce and the real economy, and the conflict between Taobao and Wanda Plaza.

"Then let's go and meet him. I'm really looking forward to how this boss will 'brainwash' me this time."

"As I said, he is not a pyramid schemer, haha...

But don’t tell me yet, his mouth is really powerful, no one in the business world can argue with him at present! "

A few minutes later, Lin Nan changed her clothes.

"Sissi, I have to go out and I won't be with you for lunch."

"Dinner party?"

Liu Yifei raised her head and asked with charming eyes. Did she know what Yue Jun said on the phone, or she was the one who asked Lin Nan to get up.

"Well, let's go once so that we don't have to worry about it all the time in the future."

"Then you come back early, I'll wait for you." Liu Yifei winked with evil intentions, making Lin Nan's bones feel numb.

…

The time has entered November.

In the film market, "I Am a Witness", co-invested by Jiaxing and starring Yang Mi, received a daily box office of 50.05 million yesterday.

Not surprisingly, this low-budget movie is sure to make money. This also means that Jiaxing won the first battle after financing the bet.

Jia Zhangke's "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" was a bit miserable. Yesterday was obviously a Saturday, but the daily box office did not increase but dropped, only 5.51 million.

But this movie is definitely not likely to lose money, because it is Jia Zhangke's movie and has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes, and the copyright price is only high, not low!

Lin Nan drove from home and went to meet Wang Changtian first.

The entertainment news on the car radio made him feel a little emotional.

In order to promote this "I Am a Witness", Yang Mi pulled Hu Ge, who had just returned to the peak with "The Disguiser" and "Nirvana in Fire" and whose topic continued to explode due to the popular "Good Times", and stirred up a wave of popularity.

She first unfollowed the other party on Weibo, and then followed him again after a long time. Then there were many press releases on the Internet that the two of them seemed to have talked about "Chinese Paladin III"...

In the end, perhaps because of the noise from Yang Mi's fans, Hu Ge helped to post on Weibo and started to promote it.

However, from beginning to end, Liu Shishi, the "good sister" during "Chinese Paladin III", did not move.

"With the pressure of gambling on my shoulders, there are more methods!" Lin Nan muttered and entered the Guangguang Building.

…

Just after 12 noon, Lin Nan arrived at the destination in Wang Changtian's car.

It can only be said that this Alibaba executive is indeed very pompous. There are indeed many executives following him, and they all have a sense of "obedience".

After such a long time since they had a direct encounter at the "Internet Era + Film and Television Culture Industry Summit" held by Alibaba, Jack Ma's intuitive feeling to Lin Nan and Wang Changtian has not changed. He still has the aura of "looking down on the world", which is a manifestation of extreme self-confidence!

"Director Lin, President Wang, please sit down. Today we are just a gathering among friends, no need to be polite."

This sentence was originally a courtesy, and Lin Nan and Wang Changtian smiled in their hearts.

What is a master? Jack Ma is a master.

Others did not talk about Tudou, but directly talked about Alibaba's big entertainment plan.

And I hope that Lin Nan and Wang Changtian can give some suggestions on this framework from the perspective of professionals in the film and television industry.

How can we make suggestions? When it comes to building a "framework", the film and television industry is definitely not as strong as Internet companies;

And Alibaba's big entertainment plan is perfect, well-conceived, and is aimed at all-round coverage and closed loop.

But how Alibaba will implement it specifically is not something that Lin Nan and Wang Changtian can "dictate"; because once it is proposed, it will definitely not be able to be argued, and the other party may try to persuade it!

"Mr. Ma, everyone is very busy, and I believe you are even busier.

Let's talk about business during this meal, talk about the business that you invited me and Lin Nan to come over, and let's solve it all at once..."

Wang Changtian went straight to the point as planned and didn't plan to waste time. Lin Nan smiled and took a bite of the dish, then put down his chopsticks.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be more concerned than me. Okay, then I won't beat around the bush."

Lin Nan looked at the other party from the perspective of a director.

Jack Ma is really a top actor, and he is not the kind of actor who knows that you know I am acting, but I still act as usual; he is the kind of big star who is already natural in both truth and falsehood.

"Director Lin, Mr. Wang, I know that you two are the first and third largest shareholders of Tudou and can completely influence the financing results.

Can you tell me why Alibaba didn't get the financing quota in this round? Or, where is Alibaba's shortcoming? I am sure that Alibaba must be the company with the highest bid and the best conditions."

Although Jack Ma was smiling when he got serious, the pressure suddenly increased.

Lin Nan observed that several Alibaba executives around him were a little restrained for a moment. Obviously, they were all afraid of Jack Ma.

For a company like Alibaba, Jack Ma is the emperor!

Wang Changtian glanced at Lin Nan, it was his turn to take action.

Lin Nan understood and took over the conversation: "Why didn't Alibaba get the financing quota? In order to prevent Tudou from being exploited and dying!"

As soon as the voice fell, the smiles of everyone present disappeared instantly.

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Ma, to be honest, Alibaba's big entertainment plan is really great in my eyes. This is the conclusion I have drawn from the perspective of a professional in the film and television industry.

But unfortunately, Alibaba's big entertainment plan does not serve the film and television cultural industry, but is for the "traffic" that is unique to this industry and not available in other industries!"

When Lin Nan said this, Wang Changtian was stunned, and the people in Alibaba looked more serious. Only Jack Matt smiled independently.

"E-commerce and finance are the lifeblood of Alibaba. Other subsidiaries, branches, and companies with shares are children raised by stepmothers. They are the traffic pools and blood bags that Taobao sucks blood from..."

"Director Lin, your thinking is still too limited..."

Lin Nan's words were interrupted, and Lao Ma's smile had disappeared. His expression seemed to be a little contemptuous, very playful.

"Mr. Ma, I can tell you clearly that Alibaba cannot invest in Tudou, at least I will not agree, and I own 41% of the shares.

In addition, let me add one more thing: Youku could compete with Tudou before, and Gudong's business capabilities are very strong; but from the day Alibaba swallowed Youku, Youku has only one way, that is, downhill; it will only get worse and worse, being exploited, until one day... Youku... will die sooner or later!"

"Director Lin said that I almost believed it. Youku will die sooner or later? Haha..." Jack Ma laughed continuously, and so did the executives, as if they heard a joke.

"Director Lin, I just want to ask how Youku died? Haha..." An executive joked.

"Killed by Tudou!" Lin Nan also seemed to be joking.

Wang Changtian also smiled and shook his head gently. Is this the end of today's dinner?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's eat. Director Lin, Director Wang, please..."

Lao Ma took the initiative to change the subject, but it was obvious that he had lost his enthusiasm just now, and only "courtesy" remained.
