Entertainment, I just like making movies

The vigorous press conference ended.

It is conceivable that the news of Ali's entry into the film and television industry will definitely make headlines in major media.

Soon, the media reporters accepted the red envelopes distributed by Ali and left with satisfaction.

Other invited guests were led to the banquet hall next door by Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wei, Gu Yong and others to enjoy the sumptuous lunch prepared by Ali.

Everyone was very considerate and did not leave early.

In any case, Ali is a giant in the entertainment industry, and it is necessary to maintain respect on the surface.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm very happy to congratulate you. You have successfully taken charge of Alibaba Pictures Group and finally fulfilled your career dream."

Fang Ziheng took a few bites of snacks, came to Zhang Qiang with red wine, and complimented him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you very much, Director Fang, for coming to appreciate the glory. Alibaba Pictures has just started and needs the help of giants like Hengyu Media Group. I look forward to the day when we can cooperate."

Zhang Qiang raised a glass of red wine and gently touched it with Fang Ziheng, then said with a confident smile.

"Mr. Zhang is so polite. With Alibaba as our backing, I believe the film and television industry will soon have another giant."

If Fang Ziheng refuses to cooperate, he will continue to give Zhang Qiang a high hat.

Alibaba Pictures had just been promoted, and Zhang Qiang and Alibaba were currently in their honeymoon period. Nothing he said was good, so he just picked what the other party liked to hear.

Looking at Fang Ziheng's young and handsome face, Zhang Qiang sighed inwardly.

On the surface, he is loyal and full of power, but in fact, he is not optimistic about Ali's rash promotion to a group company.

He is a serious filmmaker and has been the chairman and general manager of the state-owned Forbidden City Film Company in his early years.

The real reason for leaving China Film and Television to join Alibaba this time is very simple.

After China Film Director Han was re-elected, his position was not improved and he was only appointed as deputy director and deputy general manager.

The position of general manager was snatched away by another deputy general manager, Chen Yu.

Chen Yu is only 35 years old and is young and powerful. Zhang Qiang is conceited that he will not achieve any great development if he stays at China Film Academy, so he might as well go overseas and give it a try.

He is 50 years old this year, which can be considered his prime years. The film and television industry is seeing vigorous development, and he does not want to waste his time.

After joining Alibaba, Zhang Qiang originally wanted to lead Alibaba Pictures' acquisition of Forbidden City Film Company, thereby taking over the company's publicity channels and production department.

In this way, it not only enriches the main business of Alibaba Pictures, but also brings over the old subordinates of Forbidden City Film Company in one fell swoop. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

However, Zhang Qiang never imagined that Alibaba would look down on Forbidden City Film Company and would rather spend billions more to acquire Wenhuahuaguo and go public in advance.

This operation interrupted Zhang Qiang's layout. Alibaba Pictures was upgraded and deviated from his expectations.

According to his idea, he would first seek to produce and distribute one or two movies, and then step by step into a stable path after upgrading to Alibaba Pictures.

In addition, Zhang Qiang was extremely reluctant to ask Lu Chuan to make a movie.

He could not make the decision, and all the power of the newly established Alibaba Pictures Group fell into the hands of Shao Xiaoli, chairman of the board of directors, and Zhang Wei, Gu Yong, and Deng Kangming.

The idea of ​​these four people is exactly the same as that of the Internet. They acquired Wenhua Huaguo and went public through a backdoor listing. They first increased the market value and then used money and big data as a killer to push back on the business controlled by the company.

Alibaba's senior executives did not take Zhang Qiang's opinions seriously, and agreed to Shao Xiaoli and others' plan with almost no discussion.

In this way, today's Alibaba press conference was held!

The good Wang Zha was in hand, but he was randomly played by his pig teammates.

Zhang Qiang has a sense of déjà vu that his heart is as high as the sky and his life is as thin as paper.

Of course, he still has great expectations for Alibaba and believes that he can take the helm of Alibaba Pictures Group.

All he needs to do is smooth out the relationships within the group and use his abilities to gain the trust of Shao Xiaoli and Alibaba's top executives. I believe he can lead Alibaba Pictures to truly skyrocket.

After all, Alibaba Pictures Group is not short of money!

Fang Ziheng didn't know what Zhang Qiang was thinking. He only thought that the other person had just been promoted and was still immersed in joy.

After testing each other for a few words, he saw that there was no chance and was ready to leave first and go back to spend more time with Zeng Li.

Zeng Li just finished filming "Chinese Partner" two days ago. Now he is raising a baby in the palace, and he is eager to see him.

Fang Ziheng thinks too much!

He wanted to leave, but someone was looking for him.

Zhang Wei and Gu Yong came hand in hand with red wine in hand, smiling like flowers and saying: "Dr. Fang, we meet again, you are still as charming as ever."

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Gu, congratulations."

Fang Ziheng stopped moving, raised his hand to touch the two of them, and said with a smile.

Zhang Wei, wearing a beauty professional suit, glanced at him and said with a hint of emotion: "Director Fang, please consider the "囧 Series" carefully. Alibaba Pictures Group can continue to increase the price."

"You have also seen that Alibaba Pictures Group is no less qualified than any other film and television giant in terms of qualifications and distribution channels. It is fully capable of making "囧 Series" stronger and bigger."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yong also joined the lobbying team and spoke lightly.

"Director Fang, I am dissatisfied with your statement that the headquarters is currently discussing whether to merge Youku Video into Alibaba Pictures Group."

Tsk tsk

Give both grace and power.

The routine is very smooth!

Are you giving me an ultimatum?

Fang Ziheng looked calm, stared at Gu Yong and smiled faintly: "This is a good thing. With Youku joining, Alibaba Pictures Group will be stronger. Once listed, the total market value is expected to surpass Huayi and become the leader in the film and television industry!"

What a fuck!

Alibaba moved so quickly that it was upgraded to a film and television group and began preparations to establish a large cultural and entertainment business group.

A big dog owner, really a big dog owner!

Alibaba’s large entertainment business group is different from Alibaba Pictures Group.

In the last life, in 2017, Alibaba’s big entertainment strategy brought together eight business groups.

Involving Alibaba Pictures, Youku Video, Alibaba Music, Alibaba Literature, Alibaba Games, Alibaba Sports, Alibaba Digital Entertainment, and most of the media businesses controlled by Alibaba.

The eight major business groups, plus most of the entertainment industry controlled by Alibaba Investment, have a total market value that far exceeds 100 billion soft sister coins!

There are more than 400 well-known artists who are deeply bound to Alibaba, or have in-depth cooperation indirectly or directly with Alibaba.

In addition to the lack of opening up of theater channels, Alibaba's large entertainment business group is so huge that it far exceeds the established film and television giants.

To be honest, Fang Ziheng was scared.

But it was just a shock, I'm afraid it's impossible to be afraid.

No matter how awesome Alibaba is, it had to wait until 2017 in its previous life to complete the ecological closed loop.

Even if there are reasons in this life for Ali to fully enter the film and television industry two years in advance, it will take 2015 for Ali to achieve the upgrade of the entire industry chain.

This year is only 2012!

hehe

By 2015, Hengyu Media Group had already completed the entire industry layout, opened up all online and offline channels, and successfully launched a large entertainment strategic aircraft carrier!

Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng raised the corner of his mouth and refused again: "I'm really sorry, the "囧 Series" will not be developed this year. We will talk about it next year!"

With that said, he nodded to the three of them, put down his wine glass and turned to leave.

Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand to shout, but opened his mouth but was unable to make a sound, and stood there silently.

Zhang Wei and Gu Yong's expressions tightened, and they stared at Fang Ziheng's back with anger in their eyes.

"I don't know how to praise!"

Gu Yong snorted coldly, drank the red wine in one gulp, and strode in the other direction.

Zhang Wei suppressed his inner impulse, looked at Lao Mouzi and Andy who were not far away, and said to Zhang Qiang: "President, I'm talking to those two."

"That's fine, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Qiang nodded kindly, put on a smile again, and walked towards Wang Zhongjun and others, preparing to go there and make a good relationship.

However, before he could walk over, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong quickly put down their wine glasses, said goodbye to the people around them, and hurriedly followed Fang Ziheng away.

I'll do it!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qiang could not maintain his grace and cursed the quintessence of Chinese culture in a low voice!

The alliance of the four giants!

There are rumors outside that there is a hidden alliance between the four giants Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, and Hengyu.

Every time a movie controlled by the four major companies is released, the other three companies will make slight concessions and will not compete with projects of the same level. There will be a minimum interval of ten days and a half.

Originally, Zhang Qiang scoffed at this rumor!

The four giants are not related to each other. They are each rivals. They control and distribute more than 30 movies every year. How can they make concessions to each other?

But when Fang Ziheng left, the other three families only followed him. This was a real situation. Zhang Qiang saw it with his own eyes, and he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.

The four giants are really in alliance!

At this moment, Zhang Qiang felt a little panicked for no reason.

Alibaba Pictures Group is not afraid of the previous one and can rely on its parent company Alibaba Zhou Xuan to fight against it.

If we were to face four companies at the same time, it would be a fool's errand! ~

Fang Ziheng and the other four left midway, causing quite a stir in the banquet hall.

Many people looked at each other in confusion.

"What's the situation? Why did Director Fang leave without saying goodbye?"

"It seems that the conversation with Ali and the others was not pleasant, so Director Fang left first."

"No, Director Wang and the others didn't talk to Alibaba's executives, so why did they leave?"

A half-immortal shook his head and said suspiciously: "What happened today is very strange!"

‘What’s weird is that Alibaba wants to invest in Hengyu Media Group’s “囧 Series”, but Director Fang doesn’t agree. ’

"What about Wang, Dong and the three of them?"

"Are you stupid? The four giants have always advanced and retreated together. Alibaba is in such a big battle today. As a traditional film and television giant, do you think they are in a hurry?"

The guests talked a lot and quickly analyzed the truth.

Zhang Qiang maintained the atmosphere, confessed to several familiar guests, and then quickly walked to a small conference hall next door.

As soon as he came in, he saw Shao Xiaoli, Zhang Wei, Gu Yong, Deng Kangming, Dong Ping, and Zhao Yanzi sitting on the sofa. Everyone's expressions were unusually calm and ugly.

Shao Xiaoli nodded towards Zhang Qiang, pointed to the sofa on the left and asked him to sit down, and asked softly: "Fang Ziheng is gone?"

"Leave, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong also left together!"

"Damn it, these old people don't cultivate, they don't give us face!"

Dong Ping was sitting on Shao Xiaoli's right, with an angry look on his face, and slapped his thigh, making a sound.

"Let's go, it's okay to go!"

Gu Yong sneered, clenched his fist with his left hand, and said seriously: "Everyone, we have predicted today's situation. The four giants are all people who are unwilling to be inferior to others. If you want to steal food from them, it will be difficult to climb. sky!"

"Lao Gu is right. The four giants are all as cunning as foxes. They can rely on their independent production and distribution business to look down on our Alibaba Pictures, especially Fang Ziheng. He is as hard as iron and will never give in easily. Character!" Zhang Wei said with sharp eyes and a strong tone.

She had gone to Hengyu Media three times before, but had never seen Fang Ziheng. She already thought that he looked down on Ali.

"Well, why should others bow their heads? Isn't it better to cooperate normally and win-win?"

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but speak, and gave Zhang Wei a vague nod.

It’s useless!

Zhang Wei's words were unanimously recognized by others present.

Even Zhao Yanzi, who pretended to be transparent, nodded slightly, thinking that Fang Ziheng was too arrogant.

"cooperate!"

"Fang Ziheng has no idea of ​​cooperation at all. President You also saw it just now. Fang Ziheng rejected Alibaba. Even if we increase the price, we are not willing to separate the "囧 Series"."

Zhang Wei snorted slightly. She had just gone to chat with Andy and wanted to take a roundabout route and ask Andy to go back and put in a good word.

The result is your sister!

Andy actually poached her in person and invited her to join Hengyu Media. He said that Lin Feifei was very optimistic about her profession and wanted to ask her to return as the vice president of Hengyu Media and concurrently as the COO chief operating officer!

Zhang Wei's head felt like it was exploding at the time, but he had to hold back his temper.

Shao Xiaoli waved his hand and said leisurely: "Since others don't want to cooperate, then don't force it. Ali has made up his mind to enter the film and television industry. It will not be based on the will of any one person, and it cannot be stopped by a certain film and television giant!"

"Haha, giant?"

"In front of Alibaba, are the giants in the film and television industry considered giants?"

He stood up slowly, looked at everyone majestically, and gave the instructions of the chairman of the board of directors for the first time.

"Act according to the plan, hit one family, pull one family away, it's up to you to choose the person, I just want the results!"

"That's it, you discuss it first, and I have to report to Director Ma!"

After speaking, Shao Xiaoli nodded towards Zhang Qiang, the official CEO, and left the conference room with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Wei and others watched him leave, and then began to discuss the strategy of "beating one family and attracting one family".

Who to hit first?

Who else to pull?

"Attack Huayi first. Chairman Ma intends to sell Huayi's shares. We just took the opportunity to act and suppress Huayi's stock price!"

"The big and small kings of Huayi are all fierce people. The stock price is their lifeblood. As long as there is a sharp drop, Wang Zhongjun will definitely ask us for peace!"

Gu Yong was the first to speak, choosing the Huayi brothers as his first target.

In his view, Huayi is currently the private leader in the film and television industry. Success in suppressing Huayi will not only allow Alibaba Pictures Group to establish its prestige, but also gain Wang Zhongjun's peace.

At that time, Alibaba Pictures Group will randomly select one or two projects produced by Huayi.

Zhang Wei shook his head and gave a different idea.

"I don't think it's appropriate. China One has a market value of nearly 60 billion. This year they have three blockbusters: "Zodiac", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and "1942".

The three films are all directors with strong box office appeal. Even if we drive down Huayi's stock price, it will rebound again soon after the three films are released. "

"Inappropriate, inappropriate!"

As Zhang Wei spoke out, both Dong Ping and Deng Kangmin frowned, saying this made them feel deep in their hearts.

Huayi, the first stock in the film and television industry!

It's not that easy to suppress. What's more, Director Ma has not yet sold his shares in Huayi, and his personal relationship with Wang Zhongjun is not bad.

If they don't choose the right time, not only will they not be able to suppress them, they will also have to be questioned by Chairman Ma.

Damn it, I didn’t take action or sell Huayi’s stocks, so you are going to do it to others. Do you think my stocks are not money?

The two shook their heads and rejected Gu Yong's proposal. Hang Chengma's majesty was not something they, the subsidiary executives, could infringe upon!

Gu Yong also showed a hint of fear. He let out a breath and smiled at Zhang: "Mr. Duo Zhang has given me some advice, so who do you think we should fight first?"

"That's my opinion!"

Facing the looks of several people, Zhang Wei thought for a moment and slowly said: "Hit Hengyu Media first!"

"reason!"

Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows and spoke concisely.

"There are three reasons!"

Zhang Wei smiled confidently, raised three white fingers and said: "First, Fang Ziheng is currently the most popular director in China. As long as we can defeat the film directed by his screenwriter, our first step to establish our authority will be fully implemented. Come down!"

“Second, I have carefully analyzed Hengyu Media’s performance in the past three years, and I have never failed.

Movies are a high-risk industry, and we all know that no one can win all the time. Not Alibaba, not Huayi, and neither can Fang Ziheng! "

"This year Hengyu Media will control ten movies. Do you think all ten movies will continue to be successful?

Obviously impossible! "

Zhang Wei asked and answered himself, his eyes bursting with a strong sense of war, and loudly said: "Ten movies, as long as we choose the target to block, the probability of success is very high!"

"Thirdly, I heard that Director Lu and Fang Ziheng had a bad time. When the time comes, Director Lu will be in the front and Alibaba Pictures Group will support him from behind!

Even if the first attack fails, we can still operate to divert Fang Ziheng's anger. "

Zhang Wei spoke very quickly and finished the three reasons in one breath.

God’s wrath is transferred!

You might as well let Lu Chuan take the blame!

The corners of Zhang Qiang's mouth twitched and he took a deep look at Zhang Wei.

This bitch doesn’t look like a good person!
