In mid-July, after a lengthy campaign, "Earthquake" was officially released.
Feng Dapao's "500 million" rhetoric did not come true. "Earthquake" was like a giant tear gas bomb, hitting the hearts of the Chinese audience. Almost everyone who entered the cinema cried half a pack of tissues after coming out. Celebrities were interviewed one after another.
Express his love for "The Great Earthquake" and his appreciation for Feng Dapao.
If you ignore the bug movie "Avatar", "Earthquake" has almost refreshed all the existing records of Chinese movies.
The box office of a single show was 100,000, the box office of a spot screening was 3 million, the box office of the first day was 37.9 million, the box office of a single day was 52.5 million, it exceeded 100 million in 3 days, and 170 million in 4 days... Feng Dapao was indeed prosperous, and he was the king of commercial films for a while.
, vaguely compared to the national teacher.
Since there will be a must-make movie "If You Are the One 2" at the end of the year, Feng Dapao may complete the achievement of dominating the schedule with two films a year.
It was impossible for him to be self-effacing, but he immediately started talking nonsense: "If the Chinese audience doesn't have me, Feng Dapao, what will they watch?"

"Zhang Yimou is indeed not as good as me at the box office. Counting from the release of "Party A and Party B" in 1998, in twelve years, I won six annual film championships. Why don't you recognize me..."
Feng Dapao felt aggrieved at the end.
I have done small roles before, so you can’t treat me like a small role your whole life.
The film is expected to bring 200 million yuan in revenue to China Film and Television, but this is not the bulk of the revenue. "Big Earthquake" has gained more abundantly in the capital market. In view of its performance that exceeded expectations, China Film and Television's stock hit the daily limit during the session.
It still rose 8.30% at the close. This increased the total share capital by about 1.7 billion, and the overall market value reached 20 billion.
This increase has far exceeded the box office of "Earthquake" itself, and even "Avatar" cannot match it.
The two kings are naturally determined to "tell stories", not to the fans, but to the leeks in the capital market.
The two brothers held a small meeting internally, and the eldest brother Wang Zhongjun emphasized: "Fang Yi's shares are more valuable than we thought, and we must find a way to transfer them to us... After the listing, I read the analysis of the managers of the securities funds.
They believe that the value of movies as a light industrial product is erratic and not as good as real estate and hardware equipment. They are not optimistic about the profitability of companies that only make movies in the long term..."
Wang Zhonglei asked anxiously, as if listening to a book from heaven: "What do you mean?"
"It means that we need to extend our tentacles longer and catch both upstream and downstream... It doesn't matter whether we can catch it or not. The important thing is to make people believe that we are going to catch it! Do you think Fang Yi has less than 100 million shares in DJ?
Is it important? It is important, because it can increase the value of our stock by one billion."
It took Wang Zhonglei a while to think about this, and he said, "Is it possible that such a situation exists? Fang Yi doesn't intend to transfer his shares. He just has the backbone, ah, he's so brave! He doesn't like us either.
He has good intentions and refuses to let go of his equity, what should we do with him?"
"Now is a society governed by the rule of law. If he doesn't want to vomit and doesn't accept our blame, no one can do anything to him! It is true that it can make it more difficult for him to make films, and it is true that we can ban him within the scope of his reach, but we can't
Cover the sky with one hand! China Film Academy cannot cover the sky with one hand, can it?"
Wang Zhonglei looked at his brother, waiting for an answer.
His brother thought for a while and shook his head, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who are knowledgeable will be appreciated. I caused him trouble, but I also respected him and gave him a decent way out... Let
He affiliated his studio with us, and he is the director; I also asked him to be the leading actor in the next part of the "Detective Dee" series, and he is the actor."
Wang Zhongjun said quietly, "I think he should be convinced, what do you think? Cooperation is a win-win situation, non-cooperation is a lose-lose, and he loses. If he transfers the shares to us, we will not treat him badly. If he does not transfer them to us, as long as
If the vote passes, I can also inject capital at a premium to dilute his shares - but the cost is much greater than ex-ante replacement now.
And he will totally offend us."
Wang Zhonglei recalled the young man's firmness that Fang Yi showed when he first met Fang Yi, and he disagreed with his brother's thoughts: "You always said that I can't be a businessman and act on impulse. Fang Yi is very calm and calm. He
He looks prettier than me, but does he have business in his heart?"
"I don't think so."
With these words, the small meeting between the two of them ended.
At the same time, Pengcheng was voting on the newly introduced China Film and Television Capital. More than 50% of the votes were needed to pass.
Because Wang Tao, a man from science and engineering, and his college friend own more than 50% of the shares, and his friend is almost a brainless man from science and engineering.
The real essence of this vote is whether the science and engineering man is willing to add another investor of the same quality as Fang Yi - for example, if a company introduces investment from Ali and Penguin at the same time, this will turn into a crisis of trust and eventually eliminate
Get rid of one side of homogeneity.
Before voting, Sequoia Capital briefly introduced the current situation of China Film and Television:
"...the largest and earliest privately-owned film and television company in the country to be listed on the market is the well-deserved overlord of the mainland film industry. The new film "The Great Earthquake" currently in theaters has..."
Wang Tao's gentle baritone reminded Wang Tao of Fang Yi. Fang Yi had come to see him the week before. Fang Yi did not mention voting or investment during the whole process, but instead told him about the new movie "Love Letter".
He described the scenes that the movie will have. The youth of many people is concentrated in each pixel, which makes him yearn for it. Before he made a drone, he never thought that it could be used to shoot movies, but he instinctively thought that it could be used to shoot movies.
It's engineering equipment.
It wasn't until Fang Yi came to visit and used real cameras to shoot that he believed that drones could become part of art, not an engineering art, but one of the most direct arts of mankind.
Along the corridor of the office building on this floor, there is also a group photo of the early employees. Fang Yi took good care of him and did not seek the limelight in his company.
With this in mind, Wang Tao voted no in the subsequent vote.
China Film and Television failed to enter the market for the first time.
When the news came back to the capital, the two kings were furious. They didn't expect that they would not be able to pass the first level.
Wang Zhongjun called Zhou Kui and accused Sequoia Capital of not doing things well. Wang Tao was obviously not convinced yet and was unwilling to let the newcomers in.
Sequoia Capital believes that China Film and Television did not acquire Fang Yi, which caused Fang Yi to show a strong personal will in maintaining his equity, which in turn affected Wang Tao.
After scolding each other, they came back to find new methods.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com
Sequoia Capital continues to propose the next round of voting to confirm that other shareholders will not change their minds and continue to apply eye drops; while China Film and Television wants Fang Yi to buy it quickly.
It was no longer possible for Fang Yi to get an appointment through Feng Dapao. In fact, after the success of "Big Earthquake", Feng Dapao even became uneasy and clamored for shares.
After much trouble, the two kings got the phone number of Fang Yi’s agent, Zhen’s sister: “I’d like to visit you at home.”
The real sister reported her address.
The two thought it was a good sign, so the elder brother asked his younger brother to go find Fang Yi alone, and told his younger brother, "Be polite."
I went to the door and rang the doorbell, but no one was there.
I rang the doorbell repeatedly for about ten minutes to confirm that no one was there. Wang Zhonglei called Sister Zhen and asked, "Where is the person?"
"Oh, he changed places."
"Are you kidding me? Can you forget such a thing?"
"His new house has been found a long time ago. You are out of luck. He just moved out a few days ago and he didn't tell me."
"I've been having bad luck lately. Can you tell me his new address?"
"Boss Fang is not allowed to disclose it."
Wang Zhonglei wanted to smash the phone. These movie makers were so incompetent that even Feng Dapao came to him to make a fuss. He returned to his home angrily, only to see his daughter staring intently at the TV series.
"Watching a TV show again, what TV show?"
""Xian San"."
"It seems to be a movie about Sugar Man. Who do you like in it? Dad invites him to your birthday party... Dad still has some respect in the industry."
"I like Fang Yi."
"That bastard?!"
Her daughter jumped up and became very angry, "Dad, why did you say that about my brother? If you continue to say that, I will sever the father-daughter relationship with you."
Wang Zhonglei felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and almost lost sight of Marx for a while.
