Chapter 1013: The "Tragedy" Of China Film Group and Bona Film Group: The Donkey Is Discarded After It Has Done Its Job! The Female Buffett Falls!
Chapter 1013 The "tragedy" of China Film and Bona is a waste of time! Female Buffett... fell!
"Due to the influence of director Chen Fei's extreme sports challenge in France, the box office of "Operation Red Sea" surged by 30 million yuan yesterday compared with the previous day, with a total box office of 41.12 million yuan in a single day!"
"On the 21st day of release, the box office of "Railway Tigers" has dropped to 4.0881 million, with a total box office of 564 million yuan."
"The box office of "The Great Wall" in the latest day only reported 2.6686 million, and there are only 3 days left before the first key extension."
"Yesterday, many imported Hollywood blockbusters such as "Passengers" and "Backkom: The Unlucky Bear" officially joined the box office competition, which may have a huge impact on domestic films."
"The nomination list for the 89th Academy Awards was officially announced today. Unfortunately, the Sino-Indian co-production film "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" recommended by China Film Group was not shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film nomination."
"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk failed to be nominated for an Oscar, and Lee's bid for the Olympics has officially failed."
…
Early in the morning, 2/3 of the eyes of the film and television industry were on China Film and La Sheikang, while the other 1/3 of the eyes turned to Bo Na and Yu Dong.
At this moment, the sarcastic voice seemed to have spread throughout the film and television industry!
"Hahaha, I'm really happy to death. "The Great Wall" is so bad, and you actually applied for a key extension? Isn't La Pikang just slapping himself in the face?"
"The Great Wall here failed miserably at the box office, and another film, Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, didn't even get nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. China Film Group is really pulling its weight this year."
"As far as I know, under the leadership of our Chairman Lada, China Film's distribution, theaters, and film approval businesses have suffered a complete loss this year. This is retribution! He deserves to be unlucky!"
"Bona is also very unlucky this year. The summer release of "Legend of the Gods" suffered a huge loss, and then "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" also suffered a huge loss. Now Li Jin has failed to compete for the Olympics. I want to Let’s see how his financing goes in March.”
"If these two people had any intention of repenting, they wouldn't be so unlucky all the time. They deserve to suffer a lot!"
Throughout the morning, La Sheikang sneezed countless times.
Of course he also knew that many people in the circle were mocking him, and even many people in the company looked at him very strangely.
But faced with this situation, he could only pretend that he didn't hear or see it, and hold on.
There is no way, who made China Film Group's performance last year a mess under his leadership.
However, what he never expected was that the house leaked and it rained all night!
A few minutes ago, Universal Pictures sent an email to China Film Group notifying China Film and Television that "The Great Wall" will hold its premiere in North America as scheduled. It also clarified that director Zhang Yimou and his team need to arrive in Hollywood before February 15th, Los Angeles time. .
However, the second half of the email brought an unexpected twist.
That's right: Universal Pictures has decided not to send invitations to the Oscars ceremony and dinner to the core creators of "The Great Wall" for the time being.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making La Sheikang's heart suddenly sink!
After all, the Oscars are the highest honor in the global film industry. Being invited to attend its awards ceremony and dinner is the highest honor for any filmmaker.
But now a sudden change has interrupted La Sheikang's plan.
He originally thought that if the news of "The Great Wall"'s participation in the Oscars was announced, he might be able to use the popularity to boost the film's box office performance.
But now this sudden change suddenly broke his plan.
"Is this key extension really going to be useless?"
At this moment, his face suddenly became very ugly.
If "The Great Wall" collapses like this, you don't have to guess, there will definitely be a lot of people outside to catch him and ridicule him, especially Ren Zhonglun, who will never let this opportunity go.
When he thought of this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, full of unwillingness and helplessness.
The same is true for Yu Dong on the other side.
When he learned that "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" failed to get even an Oscar nomination, his face was full of confusion and confusion.
"Isn't it possible? How could this happen? That's Lee's award-winning film! Doesn't Hollywood like this kind of movie the most? Why can't it even get a nomination?"
Seeing that his boss was about to get mad, the public relations manager responsible for communicating with Hollywood quickly explained:
"Dong Yu, the reply from Sony is that this film reveals the true cruelty of war and the inner struggles of soldiers through the perspective of Billy Lynn. Such a profound and complex theme may not be consistent with The general aesthetic preferences of Oscar judges or the general audience.
The reply given by director Li Yin was that the film uses a lot of flashbacks and flashbacks to interweave war memories with real life. This narrative method may be difficult for some viewers to understand... and then In addition, the pace of the story is relatively slow and focuses more on the inner portrayal and emotional expression of the characters rather than the intense plot advancement, which may have affected the audience's viewing experience and acceptance.
The last thing is the box office and reputation. The film's performance in North America was not very good, with less than 2 million US dollars, and the lMDb score was only 6.2, which greatly affected the judges' judgment..."
"Then what?" Yu Dong finally recovered from his dazed state: "Are these the only explanations? Did we invest so much public relations resources in exchange for such an ending?"
The public relations manager was silent, unable to speak for a long time.
"Aren't they ready to give me an explanation?" Yu Dong was still questioning.
"Director Li Ying said I'm really sorry to disappoint you..."
"I don't want to be disappointed! I want awards! I want profits! I want money! I want my money back! Who will make up for my losses? Ah! Tell me who will make up for it?"
"Dr. Yu, the movie "Dang Kou Fengyun" co-produced by our company and Media Asia has been finalized. This movie may be able to make up for the previous losses..."
"What about the voices outside that are laughing at me? Can they be covered up? Can they stop laughing at me?"
The public relations manager was completely silent.
What can he do?
The project "Billy Lynn's Midfielder" was decided by Yu Dong himself. Now that the project has failed, Bona will naturally have to bear the corresponding price.
As the chairman and direct person in charge of the project, Yu Dong has an unshirkable responsibility.
Therefore, he must endure the ridicule and abuse, and no one can bear the consequences on his behalf.
…
At around three o'clock in the afternoon on the 14th, the flight from France to the capital landed.
Chen Fei left the airport through the VIP channel without attracting anyone's attention, and arrived at the underground parking lot smoothly.
After getting into the commercial car that came to pick him up, he breathed a sigh of relief and took off his mask, sunglasses and other disguises.
However, in the next second, his hands were held by Liu Yifei.
"Huh? Why are there no wounds on your hands?"
Miss Liu frowned and looked over and over at Chen Fei's palms and backs, trying to find the traces of the wounds she said.
"Hey? Why do I have a cut on my hand?"
"I watched that video. Your hands were just rubbing on the ground, and then so many sparks exploded out!"
"Hey? Do you really think I'm a ruthless iron hand?" Chen Fei looked at the silly girl in front of him with a dumbfounded expression, and explained to her: "Of course I wear protective gloves on my hands. As for the spark, it's because It’s because of the flint on the gloves.”
"Oh! That's it!" Liu Yifei looked like she suddenly realized it, and then asked curiously: "I also like skateboarding? Can you teach me?"
"Okay, this is easy to learn..."
Chatting all the way, time passed very quickly, and we almost got home smoothly in a daze.
At the same time, just as Chen Fei was packing his luggage back from India, a notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission suddenly appeared on Weibo's hot search list!
"After verification by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, it was determined that Longwei Media had many problems such as illegal information disclosure, misleading investors, and false securities statements during the acquisition of the listed company Wanjia Culture, which has caused major financing accidents...
Longwei Media is controlled by actor Zhao Yanzi and was established on November 2, 2016. The registered capital is only 2 million yuan, which has not yet been paid in, and it has not carried out any actual business.
Wanjia Culture is a company listed on the A-share market. Its main business covers many fields, but it has not developed outstanding core competitiveness for a long time.
And since 2008, Wanjia Culture has repeatedly planned to "sell its shell", that is, sell its controlling stake to other companies or investors, but none of them have been successful. This reflects Wanjia Culture's difficulties in operation and governance. It also provided an opportunity for its subsequent acquisition by Longwei Media.
The purpose of this financing acquisition by both parties is to induce shareholders to purchase Wanjia Culture stocks through misleading descriptions of financial strength, thereby making illegal profits; it has violated Article 36 of the Securities Law, and issuers and listed companies must comply with the law. The information disclosed must be true, accurate and complete, and shall not contain false records, misleading statements or major omissions.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission has now issued an administrative penalty decision to Wanjia Culture: requiring Wanjia Culture and Longwei Media to order corrections; give them a warning and impose a fine of 600,000 yuan each.
At the same time, Kong Deyong, Huang Youlong, Zhao Yanzi, Zhao Zheng and other responsible persons were given warnings, fined 300,000 yuan each, and strictly prohibited from entering the securities market within 5 years..."
As this thousand-word notice surfaced, the outside world finally saw Zhao Yanzi's true face!
What many investors never expected was that the "female Buffett" they had admired for a long time was actually scheming about the hard-earned money in their pockets!
When they thought that after buying Wanjia Culture's stocks, they would lose 100% of their money, it was difficult for them to suppress the anger in their hearts!
"This damn bitch is so abominable. She is actually trying to take advantage of our hard-earned money. She really deserves to go to hell!"
"Ever since she was driven back from Venice, I knew that this girl's character must be very bad, and her hands and feet are definitely not clean. Now, the truth is out!"
"Fuck! Fortunately, I was wise enough to run away in advance, otherwise she would definitely kill me this time!"
"Zhao Yanzi! Give me back my hard-earned money! Even though I'm still your fan! Is this how you cheat your fans?"
"Will there be any involvement from Alibaba? I don't believe that a woman like her can do such a dirty thing! How can she be so capable?"
"..."
When Chen Fei received the news and checked Weibo, he suddenly found that Zhao Yanzi had been criticized by thousands of people!
Interestingly, an executive from Alibaba even issued a clarification announcement, saying that the acquisition of Wanjia Culture by Longwei Media had nothing to do with them.
Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yanzi is no longer a shareholder of Alibaba Pictures.
And what's more interesting is that after Alibaba's "god" stepped down as CEO, he has not appeared on the same stage with Zhao Yanzi or accepted media interviews with him for a long time.
Based on this, in the eyes of a large number of "sons of gods", this matter naturally has nothing to do with Alibaba.
All the mistakes should be paid by Zhao Yanzi alone, and it has nothing to do with Alibaba at all, and it is impossible to have any relationship!
"This move of sacrificing the pawn to save the master is really a good move!"
"That's right, they took all the blame from their own side and pushed all the responsibility onto Zhao Yanzi, haha, it's really better to let a friend die than to let me die."
Chen Fei was on the phone with Zhou Shouzi.
Both of them despised Ali's "selling out teammates", but it had to be said that Ali was really good at this operation.
If Zhao Yanzi's plan could go smoothly, then Ali would naturally profit from it, and it also successfully tested the bottom line of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Even if it failed, it would not have any impact on them.
Anyway, from beginning to end, Ali had never publicly said that it would get involved in this acquisition event, at most it had released some smoke bombs of "suspected guarantees".
Now that the plan has failed, they have directly taken all the blame from themselves with a clarification announcement.
As for Zhao Yanzi, the female "Buffett", she was directly thrown out as cannon fodder, without any regret at all.
It has to be said that this operation is both smooth and ruthless, fully demonstrating the wolfish ambition and audacity of capitalists!
"How is Pinduoduo developing? Is it going smoothly?"
Chen Fei suddenly changed the subject and asked about the current status of Pinduoduo, a social e-commerce platform that Longxiang Capital successfully entered as early as 2015.
"Very smoothly!" Zhou Shouzi was a little surprised: "Boss, your vision is really good. In just two years, the number of active buyers in Pinduoduo has exceeded 200 million.
In June this year, Huang Zheng is preparing to conduct a C round of financing, and then go public on the US stock market directly next year!
According to my calculations and verification, at the latest in three years, Pinduoduo's user scale will surpass Taobao and become the e-commerce platform with the largest number of users in the world!"
"Haha, good! I look forward to that day!"
At this moment, Chen Fei was actually a little excited.
I don't know what kind of mood and feelings Alibaba will have when Pinduoduo's user scale successfully surpasses Taobao?
Perhaps by then, the "God" will have completely fallen.
...
Alibaba Pictures
In Zhang Qiong's office.
Looking at Zhao Yanzi, who was pale, anxious, and at a loss, Zhang Qiong was also in a very bad mood.
The plan had just started, and a large amount of funds had just been invested. Before they could withdraw them, they suddenly exploded.
This is so fucked up!
He now wanted to ask the "female Buffett" who was forcibly promoted in front of him what stupid things she had done in recent days, and she was caught with so many handles!
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless to say more.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly said: "At this time, Mr. Ma will definitely not see you, so don't even think about looking for him."
"Ah?" Zhao Yanzi suddenly panicked: "Mr. Zhang, what should I do now? All the money I invested has gone down the drain, and the bank is already urging me to repay the loan. Where can I find such a large sum of money?"
After secretly cursing "idiot" in his heart, Zhang Qi comforted him: "Don't worry, the group will not let it go, and will definitely help you fill this hole.
However, at this time, you are no longer suitable to stay in China. I have found a channel for you to go to Singapore. You pack up and leave China as soon as possible. Don't let the bank find you. I will notify you when you can come back."
"Oh...Oh! OK!"
Perhaps because Zhao Yanzi was completely panicked, she didn't think much about it. After responding, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Behind her, the two "bodyguards" specially arranged by Zhang Qi followed immediately.
As the office door closed again, the secretary who had been standing silently beside her suddenly asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang? Will the group really help her fill this hole?"
"Hehe." Zhang Qi sneered and asked back: "She borrowed the money herself, why should the group help her pay it back?"
"Then why did you ask her to leave the country as soon as possible?"
"Because once she leaves the country, her words and deeds can be controlled, and we don't have to worry about her talking nonsense."
"Oh! Is that so?!"
The secretary suddenly realized, and then asked again: "Then what should we do here?"
"Find a few suitable hot searches to suppress the heat of this matter first. Even if it can't be suppressed, try to reduce its impact as much as possible, and try not to involve us."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand. I'll make arrangements right away."
"Remember to keep an eye on that woman, don't let her talk nonsense, and send her to Singapore as soon as possible."
"Yeah, got it."
The office door was quickly closed again, and Zhang Hao was the only one left in the huge room.
After pondering for a while, he picked up his cell phone and dialed the number of "God".
"Dududu..."
"Hey, Director Ma, I have arranged for Zhao Yanzi to be sent abroad. What should we do next?"
After waiting for a while, a confident voice finally came from the other side of the phone: "Let's end this matter. Since this road is not feasible, it seems that we can only do it on Ant Financial." Article.
You just have to do your part. You must make 'Alibaba Entertainment' bigger and stronger. At the same time, you should cooperate with Li Jie and implement the plan made by Tao Piao Piao before the Spring Festival. I understand. ? "
"Okay, Director Ma, I will cooperate with Li..."
"Dududu..."
Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Zhang Hao's face darkened, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He knew very well that Ma Yun was already very dissatisfied with him. After all, he was the "manager" behind Zhao Yanzi in this acquisition plan!
If nothing else goes wrong, if he can't make any achievements in the future, I'm afraid he will be "adjusted" by the company and leave!
