Entertainment, I just like making movies

20 billion!

How dare you think!

Compared with Wen Yongshan's cheerful thoughts, Ali and the other three showed a different picture, with sneers in their hearts.

Fang Ziheng's words are simply taking Alibaba as a scapegoat, and he has no intention of selling UC shares at all.

Without waiting for Zhang Wei to reply, Gu Yong, who had long been dissatisfied with Fang Ziheng, narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Director Fang, even though Hengyu Media has delivered a lot of high-quality content to UC Browser, bringing a new experience to UC users. , to enhance user stickiness.

But essentially, the total number of UC users has not increased much and is still just over 400 million! "

"For 20% of the shares, the asking price is 20 billion soft sister coins. Is Mr. Fang a fool for Alibaba?"

After saying that, Gu Yong showed a look of disdain, but did not say clearly that Fang Ziheng was crazy about money.

Zhang Wei, who was slow for a moment, nodded, looked at Fang Ziheng and said quietly: "Director Fang, to be honest, you overestimate the UC shares in your hands.

Alibaba already controls 40% of UC's shares. As long as it takes over He Xiaopeng's team, Xiaomi, and Nokia, it can still gain absolute control and operating rights of UC! "

After saying these words, Zhang Weirou's expression suddenly changed, and a mysterious confidence emanated from him.

Fang Ziheng didn't answer. He picked up the hot tea on the coffee table and took a sip, as if he was exposed and wanted to drink tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhang Qiang overcame the initial shock and quickly regained his composure. The old god was leaning on the sofa watching the show.

He has never been interested in Alibaba's acquisition of UC and how it will fight Hengyu Media.

He is a filmmaker. As long as he completes the film projects produced and distributed by Alibaba Pictures Group every year, he will be able to report to Alibaba headquarters.

Wen Yongshan also saw something was wrong and understood that Fang Ziheng was being suppressed.

She pursed her lips, changed her expression, and looked over with a worried and confused look.

That feeling, misty eyes, concern and obsession, no man can stand.

Seeing this, Gu Yong, who was sitting diagonally opposite, felt even more depressed. He secretly cursed Fang Ziheng for his good luck and the pity of beauties.

Gu Yong thought too much.

Fang Ziheng ignored Wen Yongshan's gaze, as his acting skills were acquired through long-term training.

He put down the tea cup, looked at Zhang Wei with a smile, and said casually: "Mr. Zhang, you understand wrong. I don't overestimate the 20% of UC shares in my hand. I have confidence in the entire UC browser!"

"According to my analysis, UC's current market value is between US$2.5 billion and US$3 billion. In the next few years, with the popularity of smartphones, China's Internet market will definitely become more popular!"

"20 billion is not high at all!"

"I've already made the price. Whether you accept it or not is up to Ali!"

Fang Ziheng spoke calmly, his voice was steady and unhurried, but there was a strong sense of confidence in his words.

Ali is not a fool, is he?

As the largest browser platform in China, UC’s future value is immeasurable!

Today Alibaba can give a valuation of US$5 billion, but I know it will not give a valuation of US$6 billion, US$8 billion, or even US$10 billion next year or the year after that.

As for Zhang Wei's statement that he will absolutely control UC and completely take over the operating rights, just listen to this, it's just a scaremongering.

As long as Alibaba does not acquire all the shares of UC, it will not be able to completely control UC, and it will not even think about consuming traffic.

When I met with He Xiaopeng last time, he made it clear that the acquisition of Alibaba can be delayed as long as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more profitable it will be.

Anyway, it’s not him who is anxious!

As his mind wandered, Fang Ziheng changed the topic and said again: "I heard that Baidu is also determined to win UC Browser, and has sent people to contact Director He and Xiaomi's Rebus.

Mr. Zhang, our business cannot be done with justice, not this time, let’s talk about it next time! "

While speaking, Fang Ziheng kept paying attention to Zhang Wei's expression.

really

After hearing that Baidu had also taken action, Zhang Wei's eyes were focused and his brows were furrowed, as if he had suddenly encountered a natural enemy and had to prepare for the attack.

The mysterious self-confidence in her body also disappeared, and she was no longer worthy of her existence.

In this Forbes wealth list, Li Yanhong of Baidu ranks second on the list with a net worth of 51.03 billion.

Regardless of ranking and net worth, Li Yanhong is much higher than Hangcheng Ma.

Baidu's market value this year is US$47.9 billion, while Alibaba's valuation is only US$36 billion.

In comparison, Alibaba is weaker than Baidu.

Fang Ziheng took out Baidu and instantly disrupted Zhang Wei's psychology.

The other party cannot predict the future development of Baidu, let alone know that Alibaba will soon be on the fast track.

At the same time, Fang Ziheng is not afraid of Alibaba falling out, nor is he afraid that Alibaba headquarters will not fall into the pit he dug in advance.

In the previous life, Alibaba acquired all the shares of UC next year, which was regarded as the most exciting large-scale merger and acquisition in the industry.

This move not only brought Baidu into line and had a huge impact on Baidu's profitable business, but also brought huge traffic to the Taobao platform.

Less than half a year after acquiring UC, Alibaba’s valuation doubled, soaring from US$80 billion at the end of 2013 to US$200 billion in 2014.

UC Browser has a fatal temptation for Alibaba!

He quoted 20 billion, which was absolutely sincere, and it was not even high!

At 7 p.m., the premiere begins.

Fang Ziheng and Song Dynasty sat in the front row, watching quietly as Jiang Zhi came on stage to chat with the film's creators about interesting things about filming.

Half an hour later, the movie started playing.

The plot opens with Gao Chao, taking the style of Hong Kong police and gangster films to the extreme.

An assault vehicle equipped with satellite positioning suddenly disappeared. All five police officers in the vehicle, including the son of the deputy director of the operations department, disappeared, and their lives were uncertain.

The bizarre plot involves a dispute between two senior officers of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. The two deputy commissioners, one military and one civil, both use the case to make a fuss.

To be honest, this innovative plot does bring a great sense of freshness to the audience.

Mainland audiences have watched too many Hong Kong movies about low-level police officers working hard, and suddenly their eyes lit up when they saw the struggle among the top police officers.

First-class service, online IQ, and reasonable logic.

The emergence of "Chill" was a shot in the arm for the declining police and gangster films in Hong Kong.

As expected, warm applause erupted from the auditorium after the movie.

The audience applauded while thinking and discussing the plot of the movie and the roles of the characters.

Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Senior Assistant Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner, Chief Superintendent, Senior Superintendent, Superintendent of Police.

For the first time, the film clearly displays the police ranks, departments, and responsible persons of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. The level of excitement can be said to completely surpass most previous police and criminal films.

The audience is very curious about this and it is full of freshness.

Fang Ziyi stood up slowly, applauded, and congratulated Song Dynasty: "Congratulations to Song Dynasty, "Cold War" is a rare and good movie, and it will be a box office hit soon!"

"Haha, we are all happy together. I also ask Director Fang to arrange more filming for the movie. I am very grateful to Old Song."

Song Dai breathed a sigh of relief, showed a calm expression, smiled happily and repeatedly raised his hands in greeting.

Judging from the audience's response, the premiere of "Chill" was very good, with box office on the first day, and the film's reputation will definitely not be too bad.

Now it depends on Hengyu Media's promotion and distribution. As long as the promotion and distribution are strong, "Cold War" will most likely become a small hit in this year's Lunar New Year.

The Song Dynasty did not have high expectations for the movie box office. 450 million was unthinkable, but 200 to 300 million would be enough to meet his expectations.

Fang Ziheng saw the other party's caution and chuckled: "I see, although the production cost of "Chilling" is not high, the shooting quality is very good. It is hard to say that it has a box office of 500 million, and it cannot escape with 400 million."

After hearing this, Song Yi laughed and didn't answer the call in time.

Instead, he began to worry about gains and losses.

After 400 million, the issuance fee is 14%, and Hengyu Media can get more than 40 million in issuance profits.

More than 40 million!

It was nearly twice as much as the production cost of "Chill".

Issuance is indeed a sure-fire business.

Song Dynasty sighed, seeing that "Chill" was about to be a hit, but he could only let Hengyu Media bite off a big piece of fat.

As the head of Yindu Organization, he made money by distributing movies, and there was a faint tingling feeling in his heart.

It really lives up to that proverb!

Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay.

Yindu Organization has previously distributed several of Hengyu's movies and made a lot of money. Now it's time to give back.

After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Zhiqiang came over and invited everyone to move to a nearby hotel to attend a thank-you dinner.

Fang Ziheng originally wanted to return to the Li Palace early and spend more time with Zeng Li, but when he saw Wen Yongshan's confused eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.

Just go.

Just think of yourself as a philanthropist and teach this beauty for once!

The next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Amid Wen Yongshan's doubts and reluctance, Fang Ziheng said, "I am very optimistic about your development in the entertainment industry," and left without looking back.

It’s okay to eat seafood occasionally, but don’t overindulge.

I believe Wen Yongshan understood the meaning of his words.

A night of romance, resource exchange, and we never owe each other anything!

After leaving the hotel, he called Fang Zhongxin.

After a while, the black Maybach slowly came out of the hotel parking lot.

Fang Ziheng opened the car door and got in. He told him to go to the company and closed his eyes to rest.

The post-production of "The Great Wall" is still in production. He is not busy now, but he is not idle every day.

China Film Director Han made several calls to urge us, saying that preparations for "The Founding of an Army" were complete and they were just waiting for him, the chief director, to be in place.

In addition to "The Founding of an Army", the company also has a lot of things to deal with.

Soon to enter 2013, the strategic investment department of Hengyu Media asked Andy to fight, preparing to launch the sixth shot before the end of the year.

Andy asked Fang Ziheng's opinion, and the two decided to hold a meeting first to discuss the projects that the Strategic Investment Department was interested in.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The Maybach drove into the Baoli Building. Fang Ziheng got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked into the lobby of the office building with a relaxed look.

Along the way to the office, wherever he passed, he heard respectful calls from 'Chairman', which made him feel happier.

Hengyu's development has shown leaps and bounds. In addition to the hundreds of people stationed at the headquarters, all major subsidiaries are also fully staffed.

As of the end of last month, the group's total number of employees exceeded 5,000.

In addition, the three major departments of Hengyu Cinema, Hengyu Advertising, and Hengyu Publicity Department also have a vertically managed on-the-ground publicity team.

This team, numbering about a thousand people, has a daily task of communicating with local theaters, TV stations, and advertising producers.

Not only does he promote the movies and TV series produced by Hengyu, he is also responsible for supervising the box office theft and leakage in local cinemas.

dong dong

Just after reading a few documents, Lin Feifei, Andy, and Mo Xiangwan pushed in the door with Liu Minghui from the Strategic Investment Department.

"We're all here. Sit down first and I'll make you a cup of hot tea."

Fang Ziheng waved to the four of them, stood up and took out the expensive tea that Concubine Lin had brought to him from home during the Chinese New Year.

After several cups of hot tea were brewed, everyone came to the sofa where guests could sit and drink tea while browsing the projects prepared by Liu Minghui.

"Director Fang, let me first briefly introduce the project."

Liu Minghui coughed lightly, opened a document, and introduced the project in concise language.

There are more than 30 projects in total, diverse and covering all walks of life on the Internet!

Fang Ziheng took the list, looked at it briefly, and quickly found a dozen popular apps in his memory.

Gaode map!

91 Infinity Network Company!

Nuomi.com!

Take a taxi quickly!

Didi Taxi!

Guevara!

Are you hungry?

mobile game!

ByteDance!

Know almost!

Station B!

Cat's Eye Movie!

Meituan!

ACFUN (the predecessor of Douyu) live broadcast!

He picked up a water-based pen and marked all the apps, including a few that must be taken down.

Then, he handed the list to Andy and circulated it to the four others, and said with a smile: "You can vote for all these projects, including Nuomi.com, Ele.me, Zhihu, Maoyan Movies, and Douyu Live, these five entertainment-related APPs For the first goal!”

"Also, Minghui, go to ByteDance and have a good chat with Zhang Yiming and ask him what he needs?"

"Okay, I'll go to ByteDance tomorrow!"

Liu Minghui responded solemnly, glanced at the annotations made by Fang Ziheng carefully, and then asked: "Director Fang, what about mobile games?"

"Games can be acquired, but as smartphones become more popular, there will be more and more mobile games on the market. Instead of acquiring them, we might as well poach talents and develop them ourselves!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Hengyu Games has developed more than a dozen games. After nearly two years of development, the two PC games "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends" have occupied an absolute market share.

In particular, "Absolute Survival" has not been fully promoted for more than a year due to the upgrade of Internet cafe equipment.

Just last month, as the movie "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" became popular, it also boosted the popularity of the game.

Internet cafes across the country have written to Hengyu Games to inquire about the configuration required to run the game, speeding up the equipment upgrade.

There is also "League of Legends". With the promotion of Hengyu's artists, it has taken the lead in occupying the Internet addicted teenagers in Internet cafes.

At this point in time, Audition has become lonely, and it is also a turning point for Internet-addicted teenagers to choose mobile games and client games.

Compared with QQ Speed ​​and QQ Dance, "League of Legends" has established itself as the number one MOBA game with little effort.

Coupled with the recent popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the two games dominate the country, overwhelming several new games launched by Tengxun.

Just like CrossFire, facing "PUBG" with upgraded Internet cafe equipment, it is really vulnerable.

Many gamers, while complaining, are getting into the chicken-eating business.

In the past two years, thanks to Hengyu Games' continuous delivery of cash milk to Hengyu Media, how could Fang Ziheng be so cool and generous in investing in this project and that project.

Fang Ziheng lit a cigarette and suddenly remembered that Chen Jing, the general manager of Hengyu Games, came to the group last month to report on work and talked about improving the quality of the two games and holding large-scale competitions.

"By the way, Andy, in the documents recently submitted by Hengyu Games, does it mention the application to hold competitions for "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"?"

"Yes, Chen Jing reported twice, and even called me specifically. He wants to test the waters and hold two invitational events after the new year, one each for "League of Legends" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!"

Andy flipped his hair around his ears, thought for a moment and nodded.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and said in a solemn voice: "Reply to Chen Jing and tell him not to worry, wait a moment, report all relevant procedures to the government department first, and prepare the game competition team!"

"Old Fang, what's wrong?" Concubine Lin's eyes flashed and she spoke softly.

Sister Lin heard the implication and reported all the procedures to the government department first, as mentioned here.

Andy, Mo Xiangwan, and Liu Minghui also looked over, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

There are not many game competitions in China at this time. The few competitions are held online solely by game producers, which is a small matter.

Hengyu takes the lead in holding offline large-scale invitational competitions to open up a new path for the gaming field. This is a great thing!

This shows that the cultural and entertainment spirit of our country has been further improved!

It stands to reason that government departments will generally not regulate such competitions. They will only pay attention and silently support them behind the scenes, and formulate relevant policy recommendations based on the situation.

Seeing this, could there be something else going on?

Several people looked at Fang Ziheng, expecting him to answer everyone's questions.

Fang Ziheng smiled slightly, flicked the ashes from his cigarette, stood up and walked to the window sill, opening a little of the window to let in the wind.

He held the cigarette, pointed in the direction, and said with an incomprehensible tone: "You have forgotten that in the gaming field, our Hengyu has an incredible opponent!"

"This opponent has been eyeing us and wants to swallow up Hengyu Games!"
