Entertainment, I just like making movies

Leaving the palace.

Fang Ziheng was wearing a gray warm sleeping jacket, holding little Yueyue back and forth in the living room, pouting at his daughter from time to time.

"Mu Ma, be good Yueyue, call me daddy."

Little Yueyue has pretty features and a rosy face. She is also wearing a thick white sleeping jacket.

The father and daughter were wearing parent-child suits, hugging each other like two chubby brown bears, one big and one small.

Little Yueyue took a nap for a while and felt full of energy.

She talked to Fang Ziheng for a while, her legs moved lightly in his arms, and she pouted like her father. After a while, he turned his little head and looked at his mother who was practicing yoga not far from the living room.

There seems to be endless vitality in this small body.

Zeng Li was dressed in pure black yoga clothes. He stood on the yoga mat, holding his head with his elbows raised. He jumped straight with his legs together and lifted his legs into the air with force on his waist and abdomen. He was undergoing physical rehabilitation.

I did it for a while.

Unable to support her body, she lay down on the yoga mat, turned her head sideways and looked over, gasping and saying, "I can't stand it anymore, I'm exhausted."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, I've been holding on for almost ten minutes." Fang Ziheng walked over with little Yueyue in his arms and comforted the great beauty Zeng in a warm voice.

Twenty days after returning, Zeng Li's body gradually recovered. Except for his waist, abdomen and thighs, he had returned to his original appearance before pregnancy.

However, Miss Zeng was not satisfied. As soon as Fang Rou's mother said she could get out of bed, she immediately started exercising.

After resting for a while, she continued to practice the second set. While practicing, she said: "Ziheng, if you don't go to the road show, are you really okay?"

"I was watching the news this morning, and a reporter raised a question. Sissi and the others didn't know how to answer it?"

"It's okay. Reporters just like to do stunts. I've already said hello to Wanda Film and Television. I'll be on a few talk shows in the next few days. I'll leave the offline road show to the leading actors."

Fang Ziheng explained with a smile, holding his daughter and gently throwing her up, making a small swing back and forth with his hands.

The popularity of "The Great Wall" has created unprecedented traffic for the movie, and it doesn't matter whether he is on the road show or not.

The four leading actors and the seven leading actors can completely control any scene.

Besides, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Chen Kun, these four super first-line movie stars are in the group, and they bring huge popularity wherever they go.

He deliberately did not promote it, naturally he wanted to spend more time with Zeng Li and his daughter.

He will have to start filming "The Founding of the Army" in a few days, and it will take several months. If he doesn't take a break now, he may not have any rest later.

Half an hour later.

Little Yueyue was exhausted, her big eyes blinked, and she quickly fell asleep with her eyes squinted.

Fang Ziheng put the girl into the lathe and was about to go upstairs to read the news when he heard the buzzing and vibration of his cell phone on the coffee table.

I walked over and saw that it was a call from China Film Director Han.

He picked up the phone, pointed upstairs and said to Zeng Li: "Sister, you're almost done practicing and take a shower quickly. Don't work too hard."

Zeng Li was very considerate and immediately stopped exercising when he saw something happened.

She stood up and wiped her sweat with a towel, walked towards the small lathe, and smiled: "Okay, you answer the phone quickly, I'll watch my daughter."

Fang Ziheng made an OK gesture, turned around, opened his phone, and walked upstairs.

"Hello, Director Han."

"It's a great thing to be on the Yangma News!"

"Okay, it's a movie channel interview, right? I'll go there in two days."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Director Han."

On the stairs, Fang Ziheng hung up the phone and smiled slightly.

It seems that the popularity of "The Great Wall" has attracted the attention of the higher-ups, who want to help in advance.

Director Han said on the phone: Yangma will report on "The Great Wall" the day after tomorrow and ask him to provide a clip that should not only show the power of the Tang Empire, but also show the harmony of all nations.

The Sixth Princess also wants to do an exclusive interview with "The Great Wall" and, if possible, record a special film record with Fang Ziheng.

Starting from his first film "The Unknown Man", his film path was connected one by one until "The Great Wall" was listed in Yangma.

A film record is different from an interview, which is a huge honor.

It is the most direct official praise for those who have contributed to the film industry. Just like the author writing a book, it records Fang Ziheng's film life so that it can be passed down to future generations.

even

Yangma will also intercept and broadcast the movie records to promote Fang Ziheng's achievements to the people across the country.

In the living room, Zeng Li looked at his lover's back and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, secretly congratulating him.

She only heard the word "Yang Ma" and knew that "The Great Wall" had received good news.

His little man is getting stronger and stronger!

very nice

In the study.

As soon as Fang Ziheng turned on the computer, he received another call from Song Ge of Wanda Film and Television.

"Haha, Director Fang, you have also received the notice, right? "The Great Wall" has been listed on Yangma, which means that the film has been recognized by the superiors!"

On the phone, Song Ge expressed his joy and excitement.

As the main controller of "The Great Wall", the film has made remarkable achievements, and he, the person in charge of Wanda Film and Television, has also followed suit.

Both its status in the industry and within Wanda Group are not what they used to be.

Regardless of other things, just Wang Jianlin's personal phone call to praise him made Song Ge high-spirited and happy.

Big Pharaoh said that the headquarters will continue to increase investment in Wanda Film and Television. Wanda Film and Television will only need to hand over half of the profits earned this time, and the remaining half will be retained to develop the front-line production field.

Song Ge has already made up his mind to expand the production team of Wanda Film and Television as soon as the distribution of "The Great Wall" arrives.

Directors, producers, filming, screenwriters, equipment, and front-line crew talents have upgraded Wanda Film and Television’s comprehensive strength in all aspects.

Once the upgrade is completed, Wanda Film and Television will transform into the fifth giant in the film and television industry.

Coupled with the help of Wanda Cinemas, it will be a new chapter in the entertainment industry!

Listening to Song Ge's happy tone, Fang Ziheng moved his hand sign and said leisurely: "Congratulations to Mr. Song. With the support of Wanda Headquarters, Wanda Film and Television's development will soon be on the fast track."

In the last life, projects controlled by Wanda Film and Television were blocked one after another, so much so that the resources invested by Wanda Headquarters were cut off.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Song Ge chose to leave and then established his own Imperial Capital Ferris Wheel Culture Media.

Wang Jinghua’s Eighteen Culture Company was also brought in to integrate artist management and film and television production.

Didu Culture Company has developed and grown in just a few years. It first invested in "My Deskmate" and released "Blissful" with a guaranteed guarantee, and then participated in films such as "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", "Railway Tigers", and "Wolf Warrior 2".

Song Ge also became a new tycoon in the entertainment industry.

Speaking of "Wolf Warrior 2", Song Ge also played the role of Ambassador Fan in the movie, and his acting skills were quite good.

However, this guy was caught engaging in a false transfer scheme in 2021, and Imperial Culture was administratively punished and issued a market ban notice.

Song Ge himself and 17 other parties were given administrative penalties.

The culture of the imperial capital was instantly wiped out, and Wang Jinghua left with the Eighteenth Culture and got together with Tengxun Pictures.

Of course, things have changed in this life.

Under Song Ge's management, Wanda Pictures first made its mark by investing in "Edge of Tomorrow", and then collaborated with Fang Ziheng to produce "The Great Wall". At the same time, it also used the theater schedule as a bargaining chip to participate in Huayi's projects in the past two years.

He is currently enjoying a prosperous life in Wanda, but he has no intention of leaving.

The trend of domestic entertainment has also produced other chemical reactions due to Fang Ziheng's several blockbuster movies, and it is rushing towards the unknown.

Whether it is good or bad, everything is still unknown!

After chatting for a few words, Song Ge changed the topic and invited Fang Ziheng to North America.

"The Great Wall" has submitted for this year's Oscar Film Award, and Song Ge plans to work with 21st Century Fox to see if they can win the best foreign language film.

At the worst, we have to organize an award in the visual and graphic categories.

"I'm sorry, I can't get away from here. I will report to "The Founding of the Army" in a week at most."

Fang Ziheng politely rejected the other party without even thinking about it.

"That's it, then I won't force it."

"Director Fang, please wait for me to come back and have a celebration banquet together. I will give you a toast and thank you for your help to Wanda Film and Television."

"Easy to say, easy to say. I wish Mr. Song a happy journey."

With that said, Fang Ziheng hung up the phone and looked at the laptop.

It's not that he doesn't give Song Ge face, but that he really doesn't want to go to North America.

He didn't even go to "The Secret of the Dragon" when it was released last year. "The Great Wall" is not yet under the control of Hengyu Media, and he won't go there.

With Deng Wendi as his partner, as long as Hengyu produces first-class movies, it will naturally continue to export them overseas.

Whether you go or not, there will be no shortage of overseas benefits!

Besides, he doesn’t understand English, so he’s just going to be a stranger for a few days!

Boring!

For the next two days, "The Great Wall" continued to bombard the film market, showing its absolute dominance in the film market.

Sunday.

It once again exceeded 100 million in a single day, with a massive box office of 123 million.

It was released for three days on its first weekend, with a total box office of 389 million.

If you include the zero-day box office of 12.9 million on January 25, the total box office of "The Great Wall" has terrifyingly exceeded 400 million!

400 million in three days!

Looking at the entire Chinese film market, it is a miraculous data.

There is no other movie that can compare with it. "Edge of Tomorrow" and "The Secret of the Dragon" are both inferior.

If we say that the science fiction blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" is China's first movie to truly declare its military strength to the people of the world.

Then "The Secret of the Dragon" is the first movie to show the Chinese film industry system to the world.

"The Great Wall" goes a step further, using the core themes in the movie to perfectly show the peak era of China thousands of years ago to the Western world.

"The Great Wall" clearly tells the Western world that your ancestors thousands of years ago were nothing but dancing!

This kind of obscure cultural export seems to be harmless, but in fact it is the most deadly.

Once overseas audiences like Chinese-language movies, they will spontaneously learn about China's thousand-year traditional culture.

Then, dive in and get stuck.

When these viewers look back at their own country, a sense of hostility rises from the bottom of their hearts, and the cowards turn into keyboard warriors.

So brave!

Hey.

That would be great fun!

In the last life, China failed to achieve cultural export by relying on movies. Instead, it used the country's hard power to influence the world step by step.

The results are very gratifying. More and more overseas people have fallen in love with this country with thousands of years of civilization after getting to know China again.

At that time, the country of China was prosperous and prosperous, and it stood tall in the world. Under the pressure of the big country, the surrounding small countries trembled.

It’s so cool!

The same goes back to "The Great Wall". After the movie was released in overseas theaters, the majesty of the Tang Empire aroused huge waves in the hearts of thousands of viewers.

In the North American market, it earned US$28 million in the first three days of the weekend, ranking second.

Europe and Australia also contributed nearly 15 million US dollars in box office.

Countries in Asia have achieved gratifying results, with Little Days, Smecta and Singapore alone contributing nearly 10 million U.S. dollars in box office.

As of January 28, the total number of overseas movie viewers exceeded 3 million.

Without any surprise, "The Great Wall" took the top spot in the global film market with an invincible attitude!

Countless viewers have left comments about "The Great Wall" on the Internet.

In addition to the movie itself, the topic everyone discussed was more about expressing their yearning for the Tang Empire.

Chinatowns in overseas countries have suddenly become a hotly searched term on the Internet in various countries!

"Great Wall"!

Declaring its power to the world step by step, just like Gaozong Li Zhi in the movie.

Looking around the world, I don’t know what an opponent is!

January 29th.

Hengyu Media Group.

Fang Ziheng personally received Cai Chongxin, chairman of Alibaba's board of directors, and Chen Jun, head of Alibaba's strategic investment department.

Also present were Alibaba Pictures Group CEO Zhang Qiang and Chief Financial Officer Zhang Wei.

In the most luxurious reception room of the group, thirteen figures gathered and took their seats.

Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, Andy, and Liu Minghui faced off against Cai Chongxin, Chen Jun, and Zhang Qiang.

Lin Ruohua, the group's financial director, and two financial staff sat around a small glass round table with Zhang Wei and the two subordinates she brought.

At the last premiere of "The Great Wall", Shao Xiaoli, the secretary-general of Alibaba's board of directors, was assigned by Hangzhou Ma to go to the premiere to satisfy Fang Ziheng's 20 billion offer.

Today is the day to sign the contract!

Speaking of this, I have to thank Baidu for its help.

The online market in recent months can be described as turbulent.

The three gangsters of BAT got into a fight and kept throwing money at multiple tracks.

The most important investment is undoubtedly UC Browser.

Baidu has been competing with Alibaba, launching several strong acquisitions of UC, and the valuation quotes have become higher each time.

He Xiaopeng, the founder of UC, and Yu Yongfu, the angel round investor, jumped back and forth and hit Alibaba hard.

In the end, Ali came out on top.

With a wholly-owned valuation of US$7 billion, they won the shares of two people and Xiaomi Rebus respectively.

At this point, except for the 20% held by Fang Ziheng, the remaining 80% of UC's shares are all in the hands of Alibaba.

And because of the operational ownership rights established when UC was founded, Alibaba cannot dictate the management of UC Browser at will like other investment platforms.

At the very least, Alibaba cannot divert traffic to Taobao through UC without Fang Ziheng’s consent.

Unless Alibaba fully controls UC and expels Fang Ziheng from the UC board of directors.

It was precisely because of this operating ownership that Alibaba had no choice but to accept Fang Ziheng's blackmail and quoted a price of 20 billion.

In the conference room.

Cai Chongxin took out two contracts, looked at Fang Ziheng with a tangled expression, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Director Fang, you are robbing Chi Guoguo. According to the valuation of US$7 billion, the 20% of the shares in your hand are falsely inflated by at least 90%." One billion soft girl coins!”

In his heart, he had already cursed!

He even wanted to question Fang Ziheng face to face: Aren't you afraid of Ali's revenge?

Ever since Cai Chongxin joined Alibaba and became one of the eighteen founders, he has never suffered such humiliation!

Other emerging Internet companies feel like meeting their angel father when they see him, and they want to kneel down to him in exchange for investment.

Fang Ziheng is good, he doesn't get oil and water, and he even behaves condescendingly.

It was as if they, Ali, begged him!

After so many years and countless investments, he has never been bullied so miserably.

Cai Chongxin had a hunch that if he really signed this contract and the news spread, the entire Internet and investment banking circles would laugh at him.

but..

I had to sign again because Ali couldn’t wait and there was not enough time!

Fang Ziheng smiled and saw that he was unwilling.

He stopped pretending, and directly showed his cards, using words to pierce Cai Chongxin's soft heart.

"Dr. Cai, let's not talk secretly. Alibaba's victory over UC Browser is equivalent to breaking a major arm of Baidu and seizing Baidu's largest traffic source base."

“In one period of growth and one contraction, Alibaba’s valuation will not only increase several times, but it will not be a problem to increase it by two or three times!”

"Ha, two or three times, Director Fang really doesn't hurt when he talks while standing!" Cai Chongxin's face twitched, and he grunted duplicitously.

Damn it!

No wonder the other party wants to hold on to the 20% shares in his hands. It turns out that he has seen through Ali's development pattern.

Cai Chongxin's heart was in turmoil, and he kept his expression calm while cursing his mother.

He had stabilized himself, but the people next to him didn't have such a good mental quality.

The expressions of Chen Jun, the head of Alibaba's strategic investment department, and Zhang Wei at the small round table changed instantly.

The two people's eyes were focused, looking at Fang Ziheng like a ghost!

Just half a month ago, after Alibaba completed the acquisition of 80% of UC, Alibaba's valuation has experienced growth in a short period of time.

From US$43 billion to US$58 billion.

A think tank at Alibaba headquarters assessed that if it completes its wholly-owned holding of UC and directs browser traffic to Taobao, its valuation will triple to four times.

Fang Ziheng's words are almost exactly the same as those of the headquarters think tank!

In other words, Fang Ziheng has already figured out the strategic vision of Alibaba senior management.

terrible!

Isn't he a director? Why is he so knowledgeable about the Internet?

The two of them were also shocked by huge waves in their hearts.

However, this was not over yet. Fang Ziheng's next words were the fatal blow to Ali and others.

“As far as I know, Alibaba has just blocked WeChat and cut off communication channels with Teng Xun.

I'm thinking, at this moment, Alibaba should be extremely eager for new mobile traffic to stabilize the business of the Taobao platform, right?

Alibaba was able to acquire Cultural China at a premium of three times before, but now it can acquire UC Browser at a premium of 9 billion yuan.

UC’s role for Ali is far greater than that of Cultural China! "

The powerful words were like thunder exploding in the hearts of Ali and others.

Even the sophisticated Cai Chongxin changed his expression and stared at Fang Ziheng with an extremely weird look.

Mahle Gobi!

This guy has already pinched Ali's seven inches of love, and pinched Taobao's traffic lifeline!

not good!

Almost instantly, Cai Chongxin's expression changed, embarrassing Yapi.

At the same time, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

Fang Ziheng can see Ali's weaknesses, and his colleagues may not be able to see them either.

This time I was extorted of a large sum of money!

What about next time?

No, we can't delay it any longer.

Cai Chongxin took out his pen and handed one contract to Fang Ziheng. He opened another contract, signed his name and stamped it with Ali's official seal.

He doesn't think about anything now. He just wants to sign the contract as soon as possible and win UC Browser as soon as possible.

The dissatisfaction with being blackmailed just now was completely gone, but I was still a little impatient.

It won’t take ten minutes!

After the two parties sign the contract, Alibaba will transfer 20 billion soft sister coins into Hengyu Media's public account in four installments within three months.

It wasn't until the contract was signed that Fang Ziheng raised his eyebrows and a trace of joy flashed across his face.

Concubine Lin and Andy also looked at each other, their mouth corners raised, revealing cheerful smiles.

Windfall breaks out!

This time, Hengyu Media will definitely make a fortune.
