Chapter 548 You are facing a super rich with a net worth of 20 billion!
"Hantang Media sued Zhao Wei for breach of contract, and both parties went to court!"
"Zhao Wei violated the confidentiality agreement and privately revealed the details of the movie "囧". Hantang Media angrily sued the court after negotiations failed!"
"The biggest lawsuit of the year in the entertainment industry, "囧" was released before filming!"
"Should we safeguard our legitimate rights and interests or take advantage of others? Exclusively reveal the inside story of the "囧" crew!"
"Do actors deserve to have no human rights? List the three major crimes of the Han and Tang media!"
"Today, Hantang Media Group, one of the largest film and television companies in China, issued an announcement that it will initiate a civil lawsuit against the famous actress Zhao Wei, accusing Zhao Wei of leaking crew secrets!"
After Hantang announced the lawsuit, the entire film and television industry exploded instantly, and relevant media started reporting on the matter like crazy.
There are various reports, and they spread throughout the Internet in the shortest possible time.
Troopers from both sides frequently move around in every corner of the Internet, and have fierce collisions with fans of both sides.
"The Han and Tang dynasties are rubbish. They signed a contract and then broke it. Don't you even want to lose face?"
"If you dare to replace Zhao Wei, I will never watch the bullshit "囧". Which domestic actress can compare with Zhao Wei?"
"Don't you want to lose face? You're telling lies with your eyes open. All the evidence is on display. She violated the contract first!"
"Comparing a movie to a project, can the content of the project be disclosed casually, or should it be disclosed to another company in the same industry? Is it a bit professional ethics?"
"This can be washed. I'm drunk too. Do these NC fans have no brains or no eyes?"
"Zhao Wei's die-hard fans must be quite young. Why don't they have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? The terms of the contract are written in black and white. It is completely normal for people to terminate the contract. Who told you not to abide by the contract."
"What kind of breach of contract is this? You can't even say that you are the heroine. This kind of unreasonable contract is invalid!"
"It's invalid. The usury contract exceeds the interest stipulated by law and is invalid. Why don't you borrow it and get millions without having to pay it back!"
"It's so funny when it comes to loan sharking. Someone in our school borrowed money from usury and refused to repay it. He also encouraged his classmates to borrow money, saying that it was not recognized by the law. In the end, dozens of classmates were cheated."
The Internet is now dominated by the change of roles in "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", and even the acquisition of Cultural China by Ali Pictures and the establishment of the "Tomb Raiders" movie have been covered up.
The matter is getting bigger and bigger, just as Ah Li planned from the beginning to stir up the matter.
But everything did not develop as they expected. With the full public relations efforts of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they did not successfully dominate public opinion.
In the conference room of Ahli Pictures, several company executives and the heads of the publicity, marketing, and public relations departments were there, and Zhao Wei was also there.
Unlike the full confidence the night before, everyone here was worried.
The person with the ugliest expression was of course Zhao Wei, who originally wanted to use public opinion to force Tang An to give in. If that didn't work, even if he didn't get the role, he would still be able to win the favor of the masses.
Now the reaction of the Han and Tang Dynasties was too fast, without any delay, they directly sued, and they were well-founded.
If you sue, you will sue. As long as public opinion is on your side, everything is black and white.
But the other party's public relations are not weak at all, and the current public opinion is not favorable to her either.
"The print media will increase their public relations efforts!"
"The entire Propaganda Department will work overtime tonight, and we'll go find a few more troll companies!"
"There's no movement at all from Huayi, please come forward!"
Watching them discuss the solution with a cold eye, giving orders one by one, Zhao Wei finally understood.
In their eyes, what they did was just a way to attack the Han and Tang Dynasties.
From the beginning to the end, they were talking about how to conquer public opinion, but no one thought about how she could escape unscathed.
No one cares about her life or death, she is just a tool for use.
There was a heated discussion in the conference room about various plans to reverse the situation, and Zhao Wei left.
After leaving the conference room, Zhao Wei thought for a moment and then turned to the CEO's office, knocked on the door and entered.
Inside, the heads of the production and distribution departments are reporting on their work.
"Miss Zhao is here, please wait a moment."
Zhang Qiang first company explained something to the heads of the two departments, and they left.
"Ms. Zhao, please sit down."
Zhao Wei sat down opposite, suppressed his thoughts and smiled, "Mr. Zhang, the conference room is so noisy, you still have other things to think about."
"Does Miss Zhao blame me for not doing anything?" Zhang Qiang said.
Zhao Wei shook his head, "Tang An reacted too quickly, we didn't have enough time to build momentum, and"
Zhang Qiang took a sip of tea, gently placed the cup on the table, and said with a smile, "And you all underestimated him, right?"
He went on to say, "Tang An's reaction was beyond your expectations, and the capabilities of Han and Tang Media were also beyond your expectations. You did not underestimate your opponents, and you were not prepared enough."
Zhao Wei sighed, "That's right."
Zhang Qiang turned to say, "Ms. Zhao has also collaborated with Han and Tang Dynasties on two "Painted Skins", so she knows something about him."
"Domineering and powerful!"
Zhao Wei blurted out two words.
I remember when he was filming the first part of "Painted Skin" in Hengdian, he bribed the crew's photography team leader and lighting team leader to make many shots more beneficial to him.
This kind of thing is common in any crew, and she didn't go too far, otherwise it would affect the entire movie. Not only would it be bad for herself, but the director would not let it go.
Wu Ershan just saw that the overall effect was acceptable and it would not affect the overall effect, so he didn't say anything.
Otherwise, even if he is a new director, he would not allow it.
But as soon as Tang An arrived, he looked at one shot and removed the camera crew leader without saying a word.
How domineering!
Zhang Qiang listened to Zhao Wei's evaluation and shook his head again.
"How could a domineering and powerful super-rich man allow you to provoke? To put it bluntly, the combined net worth of you, your wife, and those sitting in the conference room is not half that of Tang An. In terms of personal wealth, Tang An Not much less than Mr. Ma."
"impossible."
As soon as Zhang Qiang finished speaking, Zhao Wei looked incredulous.
"You just ignore his status. I have made a simple assessment in the past two days. Hantang Media itself is valued at at least 13 billion. If Tang An raises funds at this valuation, no venture capital will refuse.
The market value of Tudou Group continues to rise and has exceeded 900 million U.S. dollars, and Tang An’s shares are almost 320 million U.S. dollars.
Due to the huge sales of several film and television adaptations of Han and Tang literature in the past two years, the valuation has doubled to US$700 million, and Tang An's share is almost US$300 million.
This is 4.3 billion yuan. The shares of Weibo and UC are almost 700 million, adding up to 5 billion.
The few financing projects he participated in before may go bankrupt at some point, and the current valuation is only about 300 million.
Each of its seven studios has at least one popular A-list star or well-known director. It is difficult to estimate this. Even if a company has 200 million, it still has 1.4 billion, and Tang An accounts for at least 1 billion.
Hantang Cinema Line had raised funds some time ago and was valued at 1 billion.
A 10% stake in Polyvanhe Cinemas should be worth 200 million, and many of its stores are assets of the cinemas.
50% stake in Xinbaoyuan, a large advertising and media group Qiansi Media”
After Zhang Qiang finished listing them one by one, he sighed.
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.
Zhao Wei quickly made a calculation in her mind and quickly came up with a number that she couldn't even believe.
"More than 20 billion!"
Zhao Wei's face was full of disbelief, but he didn't ask any questions about each transaction. The total amount indeed exceeded 20 billion yuan.
