Chapter 838 Director Chen is a little injured (4200+ chapters~)
"Given Harris has agreed to sell his shares in Lingzhi Global!"
In the hotel, Jiang Zhiqiang met Wu Jianye and reported on the acquisition of Lingzhi Global shares!
"Haha, that's right, these six months of operation have finally paid off!" Wu Jianye smiled happily.
Although it seems that Jiang Zhiqiang just made an appointment with Given Harris and bought all his shares in Lingzhi Global, in fact Fengge Media has been operating this matter since half a year ago. First, it sent people
Investigate Lingzhi Global’s ownership structure and company operations, and also analyze the development of Lingzhi Global’s entire industry chain.
At the same time, he had to contact other shareholders of Lingzhi Global, as well as Luc Besson and others. It can be said that without such a long period of preliminary preparations, Jiang Zhiqiang would not have been able to win Given Harris today.
"However, the price proposed by Given Harris is US$1.08 billion!" Jiang Zhiqiang said.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Okay, after all, we are not just interested in Gaumont Film Company!"
Before this, Jiang Zhiqiang had been talking to Given Harris that he was interested in Gaumont Film Company, a subsidiary of Lingzhi Global. In fact, it was not just that.
Also interested is the Ganoderma Lucidum Company's advertising business.
"The next step is to continue to increase Fengge Media's shares in Lingzhi Global. When it reaches 51%, we can proceed with the next step of the plan!"
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Okay!"
After the Cannes Film Festival ended, Fengge Media suddenly announced that it had acquired 51% of the shares of Lingzhi Global, becoming the largest controlling shareholder of Lingzhi Global.
At the same time, Lingzhi Global announced that it would sell 58.12% of its shares in Gaumont Film Company to Fengge Film Company. At the same time, Gaumont Film Company announced that it would be renamed Fengge Gaumont Film Company. Since then, France's largest
One of the film companies, Gaumont Film Company, has become a subsidiary of Fengge Media. At the same time, the theater chain and distribution company under Gaumont Film Company were packaged and sold to Fengge Cinema Line, a subsidiary of Fengge Media.
This decision also announced that Fengge Media will officially enter the European film production industry.
Just when this news had not been digested by the European media, Fengge Media once again announced that it would package and sell Lingzhi Global’s advertising business to Mingxin Advertising Company in North America!
Lingzhi Global, which was once famous in France, was reorganized by Fengge Media in a series. During the spin-off process, it was dismantled into pieces. Only some less important industries were retained and became Fengge Media.
A useless thing in hand, in the next two or three years, Fengge Media will sell Lingzhi Global's shares or industries in scattered ways. I believe that in less than five years, Lingzhi Global will become the dust of history.
Such a series of operations made Mingxin Advertising Company, which was only somewhat famous in North America before, instantly become one of the few advertising companies in the world!
As for Mingxin Advertising Company, it is actually an advertising company established by Li Xiuming.
Naturally, Li Xiuming didn't have the funds to acquire Lingzhi Global, but it didn't matter, who gave Wu Jianye the money?
If the shares of some companies Wu Jianye invested in North America were his gifts to his daughter Wu Luoxin, then Mingxin Advertising Company would be Li Xiuming's gift to his daughter.
But at that time, Wu Jianye had already left Cannes and returned to China, so the business earthquake in Europe and the United States actually did not have much impact on him.
At this time, Wu Jianye only talked to Jiang Zhiqiang about some future plans.
.......
Two weeks passed very quickly, and it was almost time to reach the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. At this time, stars from all over the world also came to Cannes.
What excites Cannes reporters the most is undoubtedly the arrival of Isabelle Adjani.
At this time, the Cannes Film Festival has announced that Isabelle Adjani will be the award guest at this Cannes Film Festival, but the specific award has not yet been announced.
Isabelle Adjani's first appearance in Cannes immediately attracted interviews from many reporters.
The focus of their interview was actually the gossip about Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau, the biggest hot news in France during this period besides movies!
During this period, many reporters photographed Sophie Marceau coming to the hotel where Wu Jianye lived late at night. Although they did not take photos of the two entering and exiting together, they recalled that at the opening ceremony, Wu Jianye
The close relationship with Sophie Marceau inevitably made these reporters wonder.
Now these reporters are surrounding Isabel Adjani because they want to get her opinion on this matter.
After all, this news is too dramatic. First of all, Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau are both the most famous actresses in France. There is even a faint suggestion that Sophie Marceau is Isabelle Adjani's successor.
In addition to the previous scandals between Isabelle Adjani and Wu Jianye, now Sophie Marceau takes over Isabelle Adjani and continues to have scandals with Wu Jianye. If such news is no longer popular, then no news will be popular.
Yes!
Isabel Adjani looked at the reporter who asked the question and responded calmly: "What does it have to do with me!"
Reporters have long been accustomed to Isabelle Adjani's attitude. If we were to choose a female star that is least liked by reporters in the whole of Europe, Isabelle Adjani would definitely be on the list.
I go my own way and don’t know how to behave!
If Isabel Adjani hadn't been so beautiful and so good at acting, with a character like hers, she would definitely not have achieved what she does now!
In Isabel Adjani's view, the relationship between her and Wu Jianye has long been a thing of the past, and even when they were together, they were not lovers.
What is the relationship between Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau now? In Isabel Adjani's view, there is nothing to consider at all!
But just because Isabel Adjani doesn't take it to heart doesn't mean that reporters don't want to continue to dig deeper.
"If you saw Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau at the award ceremony, would you say hello to them?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Isabel Adjani asked directly.
After saying that, he didn’t even look at the reporters at the scene and left directly!
A group of reporters were left looking at each other.
However, they have also become accustomed to Isabel Adjani's character, and they are not accustomed to her behavior at all.
As the closing ceremony gets closer and closer, many stars have begun to appear in front of the camera frequently, and Sophie Marceau is no exception.
So reporters who couldn't find any news about Isabel Adjani turned to Sophie Marceau to find the answers they wanted.
"Director Wu Jianye and I are very good friends, not as you might guess!" Compared with Isabelle Adjani, Sophie Marceau's personality is not so aloof, and she is actually very good at
Use the media to increase your influence.
"We all know that you are currently in love with director Andrei Zulawski. I wonder if he knows about your relationship with Wu Jianye?"
This is the reporter. They can't ask anything from Isabelle Adjani. Even if Isabelle Adjani denounces them, there is nothing they can do. However, Sophie Marceau's side is different.
Since you are willing to answer our questions and need us to increase your visibility, we will not be lenient to you just because of your goodwill.
Sophie Marceau glanced at the reporter who asked the question and said with a smile: "It's my personal right to make any friends. Andre will never ask, and director Wu Jianye and I are not what you said."
There is a relationship, so please stop such groundless speculation!"
Many reporters couldn't help but curl their lips. It was indeed the same story. Isabelle Adjani was bitten to death at the beginning. She and Wu Jianye were just friends. Now Sophie Marceau is the same.
Then we are still friends, why don't you come to my room in the middle of the night?
"When Isabelle Adjani and Wu Jianye were friends before, Isabel Adjani was cast as the lead in "The Love of Ghosts" directed by Wu Jianye. Their partnership swept the global movie box office that year. Now,
You are also friends with Wu Jianye. Will you and Director Wu Jianye collaborate in the future?"
The questions are becoming more and more sharp, but Sophie Marceau's answers are also becoming more and more meaningful.
"Director Wu Jianye and I have a very pure friendship. I admire his talent very much. As for whether we will cooperate, we have not discussed it. After all, our friendship is pure. I believe that unless the script is suitable,
We will cooperate only if the roles are suitable!"
"Then can we understand that you think the friendship between Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani is impure?"
"This is what you said, I never said that!" After saying this, Sophie Marceau knew that her appearance could make her still popular even though she had no works to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.
left!
Now Isabelle Adjani, the client who was forcibly dragged in by many reporters, and Sophie Marceau, one of the two clients Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau, also came out for interviews.
The remaining reporters just want to interview Wu Jianye, but Wu Jianye has been reclusive during this period. He is either watching movies with other judges at the Cannes Film Festival or perfecting his script in the hotel, so those
Reporters couldn't catch Wu Jianye at all.
They can't just rush into Wu Jianye's room and ask Wu Jianye!
In fact, when Sophie Marceau went to the hotel where Wu Jianye lived, some reporters had already figured out a way to sneak into the hotel and take photos of Sophie Marceau entering Wu Jianye's room.
It's a pity that no matter what method they use, they will be quickly discovered by some mysterious men in black, and there is no way.
Nowadays, many reporters know clearly that judging from the current situation, if they want to interview Wu Jianye, it seems that they have to wait until the day of the closing ceremony.
But they won't give up just yet.
For example, they found the crew of "Farewell My Concubine".
Seeing many reporters find him, Chen Kaige is quite happy. After all, the more reporters interview him, the more people are optimistic about his "Farewell My Concubine".
Even when Chen Kaige was alone in his hotel room, he had already thought about how to deal with the reporter's interview, found out some interesting things during the shooting, and also wrote about the various difficulties he encountered during the shooting.
And how to deal with these difficulties.
As well as his own shooting concepts and other issues, Chen Kaige wrote them down on a small piece of paper to prepare for emergencies.
Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that among so many reporters, only a few actually asked about the situation of "Farewell My Concubine".
Everyone is still concerned about Wu Jianye's scandal.
"Director Chen, we all know that you and Director Wu Jianye went to the same university or graduated from the same year. I believe you have a very good relationship. We would like to ask about Director Wu Jianye in your country.
Were you always so carefree?"
Chen Kaige is confused......
Now that "Farewell My Concubine" is the most talked-about movie at the entire Cannes Film Festival, can't you, as journalists, be a little more professional and interview me about this movie?
The most important thing is that I even prepared a small note, but you didn't ask. This is very hurtful.
"This...this..." Chen Kaige didn't know how to answer. No reporter in China would ask such a question, but it's different now. There are no foreign reporters at this time.
Honest.
These unethical questions asked made Chen Kaige a little confused about how to answer them.
On the contrary, Zhang Guoyi, who was standing aside, immediately took the reporter's question.
"I have known Director Wu for ten years. In my impression, Director Wu is a very friendly and kind person, and he is also a very talented director."
If "Farewell My Concubine" is the most unexpected movie at this Cannes Film Festival, the scandal between Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau is the most unexpected scandal for reporters.
Then the appearance of Zhang Guoyi was the Oriental actor that surprised these reporters the most!
Before Zhang Guoyi, they had never seen an actor who could be so stunning, kind-hearted, and very friendly to everyone around him.
In Cannes in May, it was very hot. Many reporters carried cameras and endured the heat. Although those so-called celebrities seemed friendly, they just smiled and nodded to themselves. They knew that,
Deep down, those celebrities just see them as tools.
But Zhang Guoyi is different. As this Asian superstar, Zhang Guoyi will be very happy to chat with them, and even buy them a bottle of mineral water on a hot day.
Although it was just a few small things, the more such small things, the more moved they were.
Therefore, throughout the Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Guoyi was the star who gained the most friendship from these reporters, and they were also willing to use their own connections to find news about Zhang Guoyi in Hong Kong and report it here.
Increase Zhang Guoyi’s influence here!
Now suddenly seeing Zhang Guoyuan standing up and saying good things to Wu Jianye, they were embarrassed to ask some difficult questions again!
"Sorry everyone, we have to attend an event. I will send you some water later, just to thank you for your hard work these days!" Zhang Guoyi also seized this opportunity and took Chen Kaige with him.
Wait for people to leave!
Looking at the backs of Zhang Guoyi and others, these reporters spread their hands and said what else. They should wait until Wu Jianye showed up before interviewing him!
