The cooperation between China Film and Television and Sequoia Capital did not cause a lot of waves.
DJ is currently just a small company with a valuation of several hundred million, nothing too remarkable. Since founder Wang Tao has been building DJ as a hidden champion company in its niche, the company has not gained much public fame so far.
But he is indeed famous in small circles.
The stock price can also reflect the market's optimism. On the day the group photo was taken, the stock price of China Film and Television rose by 6%. For the company's current size, this represents an increase of more than one billion in wealth out of thin air.
It’s no wonder that the second king quickly became obsessed with capital games and no longer cared about making movies. Movies are rare cultural products with high risks, high investment, low returns or even negative returns. Its obvious benefit is that it has strong positive social externalities.
, contrary to the negative externalities of the financial industry.
This positive externality, in layman’s terms, is the so-called cultural influence, which is reflected in physical objects and related cultural and tourism products.
"Above Heaven"
This dividend can be enjoyed by the country and the media giants. China Film and Television is far from reaching this size.
If it weren't for the tens of billions of subsidies, as well as the fact that it has violated the WTO accession-related agreements for a long time (China Film Group has been involved in Hollywood lawsuits every year), more than half of the current five-person and six-person film and television companies would have collapsed.
At a time when a storm was about to come, Fang Yi was holding on to his base. He stayed up all night discussing schedule and publicity matters with China Film Group, and edited a new short trailer of more than one minute.
Zhang Chaoyang of Souhu and the Third Master of China Film Group respectively received messages from Fang Yi.
Zhang Chaoyang did not watch the movie at all, and only sent one sentence, "I just like to receive awards, and I don't need to know what awards they are."
The third master called Fang Yi: "Not bad, keep up the good work, so far I'm satisfied, now all that's left is to confirm the schedule... If you can bear it, I actually recommend that you wait until next spring."
"At that time, the competition was not as fierce as it is now. You have gained some fame with "Let the Bullets Fly", and the audience will look forward to your dramas even more."
Fang Yi: “I’ve been listening to Mr. San talking about the National Day holiday. What’s the obstacle to the National Day holiday?”
The third master coughed a few times: "Ahem...I can't tell you, this is not the attitude of a referee."
"I'm too impatient. I'm worried that the youth film genre won't take off and no one will dare to make it again."
The Third Master was silent for a while, "I like the history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty very much, especially the period of the Wu Anniversary Period. Many famous figures were born, including those who investigated, those who sent troops, those who rebelled, those who investigated, those who investigated..."
Fang Yi: "I like it too. I checked and heard that it will be released in September. It looks like it will be at the end of September?"
"National Day, it's not talking about the day of National Day, it's talking about the days before National Day. My personal understanding is the week before, what do you think."
Fang Yi: "I agree with you."
hang up the phone.
Fang Yi knew the exact release time of "Tongtian Empire", one week before National Day.
San Ye's so-called "National Day schedule is a few days before National Day" is not nonsense, it is indeed a few days ago. Current theater chains generally believe that National Day is crowded with people, and everyone goes out to spend money, but they don't know how to watch movies - because Chinese people
I don't have this habit.
It's too dry to say that.
After ten years of development, after the Lunar New Year season (end of December) was developed, some people believed that the Spring Festival season (February) would be more popular than the Lunar New Year season, but no film company dared to experiment with their own films to find out for everyone.
This year's Lunar New Year holiday is rare for films by three major directors to be released at the same time. Although this is spectacular, it also reflects from the side that they would rather be released in a mature period than dare to violate the audience's movie-watching habits.
The film complaint program "The Tenth Screening Room" on the Yangma Channel puts it well, "The blood of pioneers flows through every exploration period."
Chinese people do not have the habit of spending money to watch movies, let alone the habit of watching movies at specific times. The current Lunar New Year, summer, and National Day movies are all produced by a large number of movies that have been produced for decades.
Entertainment activities were forcibly given to the Chinese during this period.
In July, with the introduction of Sequoia Capital, China Film and Television, as a new potential investor, entered the sights of all current shareholders and accepted the trial of whether it could pass.
Fang Yi needs to do three things.
First and most fundamentally, he needs to prove that his publicity value is irreplaceable and higher than that of China Film and Television. Under the common interests, even Sequoia Capital will belatedly kick away China Film and Television, and even
In turn, protect him. Make sure that he is the only "true peer petitor" left.
The second is the top priority. Wang Tao, a man from science and engineering, cannot be fooled. He still holds more than half of the shares. The good situation is that he has no brains to side with Fang Yi, and Wang Fang’s gay friendship is indestructible; the more realistic situation is that he wants to
Seeing that Fang Yi is competing with China Film and Television, he will vote against it for a period of time, but there is no guarantee that it will last forever.
The worst thing, of course, is that he passed immediately, and Fang Yi had to stop farming and development, and start the duel now.
The third is that he himself must keep calm and maintain his existing endorsements. There must be no other disturbances that would make him completely distracted.
In early July, the "Big Earthquake" and the shareholder vote were about to come. Fang Yi moved to the border between Guangdong and Guizhou provinces.
Tissot organized a charity promotion event for him and Liu Tianxian to create the image of spokespersons.
Liu Tianxian rarely did these things before, and her mother who came with her this time didn't know it either. Both mother and daughter were listening to Fang Yi's agent Zhenjie's popular science:
"Charity activities are a win-win situation. At many parties, we see artists spending large sums of money. In fact, it is the sponsors behind them who are helping them gain limelight and build their reputations."
"For example, Boss Fang went to the Basha Charity Auction before. Even if there was no international chapter to disrupt the situation, his box would be bought by Tissot executives and donated in the joint names of him and Tissot... If he needs to find a reason
Donating money is not necessarily his own money, but the money Tissot promised him to donate. In short, he did not spend any money himself."
Liu Tianxian was stunned and said, "I donated one million before..."
Sister Zhen nodded, "Yes, so you offended someone, and that's not what everyone does."
She asked again: "What if you promise to donate money, but the sponsor behind it doesn't give it? Is it hard to get off?"
Sister Zhen also answered her: "You have already begun to draw inferences. Most of the so-called fraudulent donations are like this. Otherwise, it is impossible for a person with a well-developed cerebellum to behave in front of the Red Cross. There is no need to ask for trouble. The worst is not to donate.
Well, isn’t it better than making a fraudulent donation?”
After the science popularization session was completed, Fang Yi and Liu Tianxian began to send footballs, desks, schoolbags and other items to children in mountainous areas.
Tissot started the event, but both of them spent their own money to buy things before coming.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Fang Yi said: "If I hadn't come here, I really wouldn't have known that except for the Pearl River Delta region, the economic development level of other places in Guangdong Province was lower than the national average."
Liu Tianxian was tying a red scarf. She raised her head and glanced at Fang Yi, "I don't know either."
Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.
The subsequent process of distributing school bags was even more uncomfortable, because the children's skin was already dark and thick at a young age, so they all came to envy them, looking at them curiously, examining their skin as if they were precious crystals.
This made Fang Yi feel ashamed. After he handed out all the things he had on hand, he returned to the car to move a new box of alarm clocks. All timing equipment in this school will be provided by Tissot.
Fang Yi suddenly said: "Being a hope primary school is a good thing, but I haven't reached this level yet. Since it is hope, it must be given for a long time, and cannot be given and stopped. Maybe I can try it in a few years."
Liu Tianxian said: "If you like, we can donate together. Now I will help you cushion it."
Fang Yi looked at her strangely, "What do you want me to do?"
"Liu Yifei, an Earthling from the Milky Way - the Orion Arm - the third ring of the solar system! You may not have as much cash on hand as I do now. I remember you are behind me on the celebrity list, and you are still missing by more than one person..."
The female Earth human said: "A gentleman's virtue is to help the world. What is the previous sentence?"
Male earthling and gentleman: "Who told you?"
"Mom, but I will know it myself soon... She is not asking me to draw a clear line between you and me. Anyway, we are both hated by Huaxia Film and Television. She is asking me to advise you to avoid the limelight like I did before.
"
"A gentleman carries a sword on his waist, so he can easily kill one or two thieves."
Liu Tianxian was worried, helpless, and a little happy, "Fang Yi, you are really arrogant."
