April 10th.

Fang Ziheng attended the opening ceremony of the Boao Economic Forum, and after four meetings on the 8th and 9th, boarded a plane directly from Sanya to Jinling.

There are two biggest gains from this trip.

First: At the first dinner on the evening of the 8th, Fang Ziheng had the honor to sit at the same table with the boss of the central bank and chatted about Hengyu payment issues.

Hengyu Payment is about to pass the review and go online in the near future. It will take half a year to a year. If it develops quickly, it may be upgraded from a regional payment license to a national payment license depending on the situation.

The boss of the central bank also reminded Fang Ziheng that if you want to develop online payment, you must have cloud computing in hand to ensure the property safety of the people.

The reminder from an expert in the financial field seemed like just one or two words, but it shocked Fang Ziheng and made him look higher and further.

Second: Through the film, television, media, and cultural industry roundtable held on the morning of the 9th, Hengyu Media has established itself as the number one private enterprise in the true sense.

As the only private film and television enterprise invited, Fang Ziheng spoke in his dual capacity as an international director and the chairman of Hengyu Media, describing the prospects and future of China's film and television industry, media industry, and large entertainment industry to more than 50 countries.

Many people sitting next to Fang Ziheng, including Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others, have become heads of radio and television stations in various provinces.

This kind of treatment was not even given to the King of China in the previous generation, which shows Fang Ziheng's current status in the Chinese film and television field.

April 12th.

After staying in Jinling for a day, the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" boarded a charter flight to India.

Naturally, this time I went abroad to shoot the drug-buying plot in India.

Fang Ziheng chose the shooting location in Dhahavi, Mumbai, the largest slum in Asia and the second largest in the world.

Among the nearly 2,000 slums of various sizes in Mumbai, India, Dhavi is the largest.

The total area is only 75 square kilometers, but the number of residents reaches millions.

Fang Ziheng hopes to show the audience an extremely real India and let Chinese people understand the conditions at home of their neighbors.

In order to better present the details of the film, the crew did not block the entire filming process in India, but adopted candid filming throughout the entire process.

On the plane.

Fang Ziheng was sitting in the business class, his head resting on the chair, tilted slightly, looking like a man.

Fang Rou wore a professional suit and sat behind him, holding a document in her hand and reporting in a low voice.

"Tengxun has transferred funds, a total of 3.5 billion, and the 5 billion repurchased by the group has also been received. Yesterday afternoon, the private placement was completed, and the group controls 3% of the shares."

"Where is the stock price? Is it still falling?" Fang Ziheng nodded and asked.

When private placement is launched after listing, the stock price will generally fluctuate, and most stocks will fall after the number of shares is increased.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is no exception.

Before Tengxun’s capital injection, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment’s share price rose from 2 yuan to 375 yuan on the first day, with a total market value of 66.7 billion.

The day after the capital injection, Hengyu's share price fell by 15%, from 375 yuan to 869 yuan.

On the third day, yesterday, the stock price fell again to 654 yuan.

"It has now stabilized. The stock price before boarding was 24 yuan, with a total market value of 8.4 billion!"

Fang Rou raised the corners of her mouth and said happily.

The total share capital of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment increased from 800 million shares to 1.6 billion shares, and its market value skyrocketed again, approaching 100 billion, instantly leaving Huayi behind.

If the stock price can be stabilized in the next month and the summer season comes, then Hengyu Interactive Entertainment will be really stable!

To be honest, if he hadn't been born in two lifetimes, Fang Ziheng's mood would probably be crazy with excitement.

It took five years to build a media empire worth hundreds of billions in my own hands.

Even now, sitting on the plane, he still felt a little carried away, glad that he had chosen his old profession in this life.

Five years of strong output have brought about many changes in the Chinese film and television industry in this generation compared to the previous one.

The most intuitive feeling is that the taste of movie audiences has improved, and the number of high-quality TV series has increased.

Although the film and television industry is about to enter the era of IP and traffic, the entertainment industry now has Hengyu Media, which is dedicated to high-quality content, and a group of lovely people who sincerely promote Chinese films.

And the leader of all this is Fang Ziheng!

You can allow him to float for a while!

"Xiaorou, does the group have any news about Huayi Brothers and Tengxun Pictures?"

"some."

Hearing Fang Ziheng's question, Fang Rou opened the last page of the document and said in a serious voice: "The news came from the President's Office at eight o'clock last night. Tengxun Pictures will establish a large entertainment group on April 15th. Representative Xiang Wan

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment went to participate.”

"In addition, the Hua Yi brothers are preparing to set up a joint distribution company. Currently, the three cinemas that are interested include Dadi Cinemas, the Oscar Cinemas of Henan Culture Film and Television Group, and Bona International Cinemas!"

"Oh, when did Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun become so close?"

Fang Ziheng's eyes were surprised, he sat up suddenly, took the document and read it in detail.

According to the news, in addition to persuading three theater chains, Wang Zhongjun is also trying to find cooperation with the soon-to-be-established Tengxun Entertainment Group.

Tengxun has micro-tickets, which can enhance the ticket purchasing business of the joint issuing company and improve its publicity and distribution capabilities.

Fang Ziheng thought for a while and guessed the reason why Bona and Hua Yi cooperated.

Yu Dong is definitely an ambitious person!

By working with Hua Yi, at least you don't have to worry about being Wang Zhongjun's little brother.

Previously, Fang Ziheng extended an olive branch to Yu Dong, invited Bona to join Beidou Seven Stars, and also promised to buy out all shares of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

Yu Dong said yes, but there was no action.

Compared with the glamorous Wang Changtian, Yu Dong has a more rigid temperament. He can pay a premium for project cooperation, but not for in-depth cooperation with the group.

Whatever, let him be!

Shaking his head, Fang Ziheng ignored the matter and didn't think about it too much.

Huayi established a joint distribution company. There was an example in the previous life. It seemed to be called Jiuzhou Distribution and later changed to Huaying Tianxia.

However, in the previous life, Huayi cooperated with Moying and Alibaba Pictures.

Unexpectedly, in this life, Wang Zhongjun actually let go of Malaysia's pigeons and instead looked for Teng Xun to cooperate.

Interesting, interesting!

Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng's heart moved, and Fang Rou explained: "Contact Andy back and ask her to meet with the heads of Guangxian, Wanda Film and Television, and Xingmei Cinemas to discuss the exchange of shareholdings in Hengyu Interactive Entertainment."

Guangxian, Wanda Film and Television, and Xingmei Cinemas are shareholders of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment. Guangsheng and Xingmei hold a small share, only 2% after dilution, worth 1.9 billion.

Wanda Film and Television also invested in the private placement of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment and still holds 5% of the shares, worth 700 million.

In addition, Baoli Cinemas also owns 2% of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment.

However, as early as when Hengyu Media acquired Baoli Huayi, it invested 600 million yuan in Baoli Cinema Line, accounting for 15% of the shares.

During the subsequent expansion of Baoli Cinema Line, Hengyu Media never lost its stake and always followed the investment to maintain its shares.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has given up its interests, and it is the turn of Guangsheng, Wanda Film and Television, and Xingmei Cinemas.

Only through the cross-shareholding, coupled with the previous partnership with Guangsheng, Xingmei was established and then placed in Wuzhou Issuance under Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, did Fang Ziheng completely feel at ease with Wang Changtian and Tan Hong.

Hengyu Media owns Beidou Seven Star Company, Goulian Hengyu Cinemas, Wanda Cinemas, Jinyi Zhujiang Cinemas, Hengli Cinemas, and Baoli Cinemas.

Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is distributed by Wuzhou, linked to Guangxian Media and Xingmei Cinemas.

With two film and television companies, Guangxian and Wanda Pictures, plus six theater chains, as well as Hengyu's own theater chain, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment's distribution capabilities are second only to China Film and Television.

In fact, with the addition of the two subsidiaries of Hengyu Maoyan APP and Tudou Video, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment’s distribution hard power will be three points stronger.

In June, Hengyu's first movie of the year "Campus Youth 2" will be released. Then we will know how effective the joint distribution of multiple companies can be.

The next day.

The plane stopped in India and then transferred to Mumbai.

The whole team rested for a day and then went out with the China Film Production team to communicate with the local government with instructions from the embassy.

For cross-border shooting, location rental is usually handled by China Film.

On the 14th, seven o'clock in the morning.

Several vans, chased by a group of children, arrived on an ordinary street in Mumbai.

When we arrived at the location, the crew split into two.

Assistant director Wen Muye brought a team of people and arranged the scene with the Indian company that had been arranged in advance.

Fang Ziheng asked Xu to put on makeup first, while he discussed the shooting details with the photography team and lighting team.

There is no need to adjust the big aspects. In the previous shooting plan, the camera movements, scripts, actors' behavior, and even the real group performances to be captured were all planned.

When we arrived at the actual location, the subtle conditions were different from the big shooting plan, so we had to make fine adjustments before shooting started.

After deliberation for a while, Fang Ziheng made the final decision: "In this way, we should follow the previous style, maintain the realistic theme style, let the camera follow the characters closely, and follow the actors' performance fine-tuning.

In addition, some shaking shots were added to emphasize the insecurity the actors felt after arriving in a foreign country."
