Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 421 Private Fund Raising

"The film and television industry is booming, and the superiors have seen broad prospects. This restructuring is not just for the two companies, Bestone and Oriental Pearl. All the resources of the Magic City Department's promotional outlets are within the scope of adjustment."

"Where is the Phantom Group?"

"Moying will leave SMG and become city manager."

"Director Fang, Director Lin, whether it is SMG, Moying, or Oriental TV, we all look forward to further cooperation with Hengyu Media."

In the luxurious lounge, Wang Jianjun, president of China Media Group, sat elegantly on the sofa and talked.

Wang Jianjun is in her late fifties, but looks to be in her early forties. She has a fair and shiny complexion, a dignified temperament, and the charm of a strong woman.

Sitting on the main seat next to her was a middle-aged man in his early fifties.

Li Ruigang!

The chairman of China Media Group and the director of Magic City Radio, he is a person who would be shocked even if he was stomping his feet in the media field of China.

Li Ruigang looked calm and acted like a big boss, not caring at all about Wang Jianjun's early revelation of the news.

He stared at the handsome man and beauty on the sofa opposite. His eyes first stayed on Sister Lin's face for a few seconds, and then focused on Fang Ziheng.

He knew the identity of the Lin family girl very well. She was a standard third generation of the imperial capital. Otherwise, he would not have met with Hengyu and the two in advance, and he also allowed Wang Jianjun to reveal the information.

On the contrary, it was Fang Ziheng who made Li Ruigang quite curious. At such a young age, he had established a huge film and television industry in just a few years. He was much more powerful than when he was young.

The other party's visit this time should be more than just fancying Best TV.

Li Ruigang thought in his mind and waited quietly for the young man opposite to express his intention.

As he expected, after Wang Jianjun finished speaking, Fang Ziheng slowly stood up and asked loudly, "Director Li, I wonder if Hengyu has the opportunity to inject capital into the newly formed Oriental Pearl New Media Company?"

Fang Ziheng didn't hide it, and he didn't need to hide it.

When it comes to the status of the four people in the rest room, they need to talk more openly about things. If there is drama, they will do it, and if there is no drama, they will look for opportunities to do it again.

There is a very important message in what Wang Jianjun just said.

Moying Group will be upgraded from a subsidiary of China Media Group to a company directly under the Modu Propaganda Department.

This shows that the prospects of movies have become the consensus of the industry, and the superiors are also very optimistic about the movie market.

At the same time, it also revealed a major signal that Moying Group became independent and embarked on the road to compete with China Film Group.

Moying is backed by the Magic City and has no shortage of money. It is easier to mobilize funds than China Film.

Moreover, Moying owns one of the top three joint theater chains in the country, and with the support of China Media and Media Broadcasting, it can definitely compete head-on with China Film.

That is to say, China Film is sitting in the front seat, and Moying has insufficient status and belongs to someone else's child in front of Optoelectronics.

Otherwise, the promotion of Demon Shadow this time may really impact China Film's status.

Of course.

China Film Group is also a big company with a big business. It has multiple trump cards in the film and television field and is not that easy to overthrow.

Just having the right to import films would overwhelm Demon Shadow.

Chairman Ren Zhong scolded his mother several times in private, saying that Moying was a picked-up child who did not have the love of his father or the love of his mother.

However, only Fang Ziheng knew that in a few years, Demon Shadow would be able to break through several blockades and occupy a large share of the film market.

In the previous life, in March 2018, the Film Bureau under Optoelectronics was successfully upgraded and became a unit directly under the Propaganda Department.

The prefix is ​​coupled with the word "country", and the path is exactly the same as today's Phantom.

Since then, Optoelectronics no longer has management rights, China Film has lost half of its country, and Moying has taken advantage of the situation.

It was from that year that the main theme movie became a hit.

The direction of publicity and cultural output has gradually returned to normal.

If it hadn't been for the three-year crisis, the film and television industry would have completely grown, and maybe it would have been able to export a few more Chinese-flavored films.

With his thoughts flying, Fang Ziheng spoke up again, looked at Wang Jianjun and asked: "Mr. Wang, can you tell us how much Oriental Pearl New Media is planning to raise?"

He stood in front, while Concubine Lin cooperated tacitly and took the initiative to pick up the purple clay pot on the coffee table and serve tea to the two people opposite.

Li Ruigang and Wang Jianjun did not dare to neglect, and tapped the coffee table with two fingers to show courtesy.

While Li Ruigang was pondering, Wang Jianjun smiled slightly, raised his eyes to face Fang Ziheng, and said solemnly: "To be honest with Director Fang, this time it is expected to raise about 15 billion yuan in a non-public offering!"

"15 billion, isn't it a lot?"

Concubine Lin raised her eyebrows, put down the purple clay pot gently, kicked out a kick and asked, "Sister Jun, which investors are interested?"

"There are quite a few. The company representatives outside have all submitted capital injection proposals to me."

Wang Jianjun pursed his lips and spoke softly.

Fang Ziheng nodded slightly and sent a thank you. Wang Jianjun only revealed so many inside stories because of Sister Lin's face.

Li Ruigang explained some problems without interrupting her.

Previously, two or three dramas produced by Hengyu's TV drama division were sold to Dragon TV every year.

One after another of high-quality content, Hengyu's reputation and production standards have been recognized by many TV stations across the country.

It’s hard to say that SMG executives are optimistic about Hengyu Media and further cooperation between the two parties.

Just when Fang Ziheng had thoughts in his mind and was about to further discuss the acquisition, Li Ruigang patted his legs and stood up slowly under the gaze of the three people.

"Director Fang, Director Lin, I personally do not refuse cooperation between Wenguang and Hengyu. The two of you can discuss the specific matters with Jianjun after the meeting."

"That's it for today. The meeting is about to begin."

With that said, Li Ruigang stretched out his hand towards Fang Ziheng, shook it hard, nodded to Sister Lin, and strode out.

Wang Jianjun stood up and raised his hand to check the time. He smiled and said to Lin Feifei, "Feifei, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay, Sister Wang, it's just my treat."

"How can I ask you to invite me to my house? I'll ask your brother-in-law to get off work early and cook you some authentic Magic City side dishes."

With a smile in his eyes, Wang Jianjun said hello to Fang Ziheng and walked away with his bag.

Make an appointment!

It seems that he, a great director, was not invited, but taking the initiative to invite Sister Lin to his home further revealed his intention to cooperate.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei looked at each other, showing a little joy.

Afterwards, the two of them also went out. The four of them were divided into three groups and appeared in the conference hall outside at intervals of more than ten seconds.

As soon as the two came out, they were seen by Guangxian, Tengxun, Baidu, Alibaba, and Xiangnan TV.

Thinking of Li Ruigang and Wang Jianjun who came out in front, all the representatives' expressions changed, secretly thinking that it was not good.

"Good luck to Mr. Fang!"

Wang Changtian glanced at Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei who had walked to the third row and took their seats. He sighed slightly and a dim light flashed in his eyes.

Among the six or seven companies with investment intentions, only the company name of Hengyu Media was placed in the third row, and the other companies were all placed in the fourth row!

Fucked!

Wang Changtian felt unhappy and had a premonition that he would come to paddle today.

Two hours later.

The public discussion ended successfully. Under the witness of the city government leaders, Beston and Oriental Pearl successfully reached a reorganization intention.

Specific details will be disclosed one by one during the subsequent restructuring process, and the plan to raise 15 billion yuan is, as Wang Jianjun said, a non-public fundraising, and not a word was mentioned at the discussion.

Fang Ziheng rejected the invitations of Wang Changtian and Chen Wu and immediately returned to the hotel suite with Sister Lin.

"Sister, when will you return to the imperial capital?"

"The day after tomorrow, I'll go to the set with you tomorrow."

"Well, it's time to go and see it. You, the chief producer, haven't shown up since the movie started. Everyone misses you."

Fang Ziheng patted the beauty's buttocks and said nonsense seriously.

Although Lin Feifei also serves as the chief producer of his films, she has long since ignored the specific matters and has sent a production team from the film business department to assist.

It is said to be assistance, but in fact it is to manage expenses and provide financial support to Fang Ziheng.

Concubine Lin turned pale like a young man, took off her coat and came to the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked at the Magic City Broadcasting and Television Daxia opposite, and said with some hesitation: "Zi Heng, do you think I can go to this invitation tonight? "

"Huh?...Sister, are you worried..."

Fang Ziheng was stunned and asked with some confusion.

"One thing is that Sister Jun is my peer. The old man left early and has been working hard in the magic city alone for many years."

Sister Lin spoke softly and pointedly.

Fang Zihengming understood her worries, walked over and held her waist to the sofa, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. The internal staff of China Media Media has probably come to a conclusion about Mr. Wang's transfer to Oriental New Media, so there is no need to worry about rumors. .”

"Even if the other party has the idea of ​​borrowing help, it should be a few years later."

"That's right, I'm overthinking it!"

Lin Feifei nodded slightly, leaned back on the sofa, took off her shoes, and put a pair of beautiful legs on Fang Ziheng's knees.

Fang Ziheng stroked his leg with one hand, took out his mobile phone with the other, and dialed Andy's number to ask about the group's cash flow.

If he wanted to invest in the Oriental Pearl, he would need a large amount of money. He had to take stock of his family's financial situation before he could hit it accurately.

Early March.

"The God of Medicine" finished filming the magic city scenes and moved to Jinling, the capital city of Sujiang Province.

The filming locations in Jinling are scattered throughout the city, and most of them are outdoor scenes, so the crew has to travel back and forth every day.

A small pharmaceutical factory, general manager's office.

Fang Ziheng sat in front of the monitor, playing with his phone and checking the latest week's box office results.

Opposite the monitor, in front of the desk, Xu Zheng and Lei Jiaying were rehearsing over and over again.

It has been two weeks since February 16th.

The film market is turbulent and the banner has changed.

Following last week's "Tang Detective 2" once again exerted its strength and collected 320 million in box office in seven days, this week the movie market ushered in a new king.

The Hollywood action-adventure movie "The Hobbit 2" relied on its good viewing experience and reputation to earn a box office of 195 million.

Including the 156 million in the first week, the total box office in 12 days came to 356 million. It is another imported film that is expected to reach 500 million.

"Tang Detective 2" ushered in the second stage of diving in the new week, with 170 million in seven days, and its potential is slowly being depleted.

But today the Internet is full of reports and boasts about "Tang Detective 2".

Nothing else.

In the 33 days since the movie was released, the total box office broke the record of "囧 in Hong Kong", exceeding 1.9 billion, successfully ranking first in Chinese film history.

The day before yesterday, Wen Muye and Fang Ziheng took leave and flew back to the imperial capital. With Liu Qianqian, Bao Qiang and others, they started promoting the movie again and accepted the admiration of the outside world.

The film bureau also issued a key, giving it 42 days of release time, helping "Tang Detective 2" reach the 2 billion box office mark.

Judging from the current single-day box office of 15 million to 20 million, it is a foregone conclusion that "Tang Detective 2" will exceed 2 billion.

Fang Ziheng had previously wanted to have a 1.8 billion box office celebration party, but then he decided not to do it. If he wanted to do it, he would do it with 2 billion. Only then did the excitement become more exciting.

Another Hollywood movie, "RoboCop" ranked third, with 120 million in the first four days, which is a very good trend.

The fourth place is "Empire Love Story", which lost its halo in the new week and only received 55 million, with a total box office of 380 million.

The media's praise of director Chen Sichen has also stopped. "Tang Detective 2" is so awesome that it suppresses the power of emerging directors.

Two movies, "Havoc in Heaven" and "Macau" were released yesterday. The former has a total box office of 848 million.

As Fang Ziheng predicted, the latter successfully exceeded the 500 million box office mark when it was released, thanks to Bona's additional publicity.

Da Tiantian called again and was overjoyed, saying that she had finally kept her reputation as one of the Four Little Actresses and the leading figure in the box office.

The two matters of investing in Oriental Pearl New Media and acquiring TV rights have also made progress. Andy is fully responsible for it, and Wu Minghui of the Strategic Investment Department will implement it.

This time, Hengyu Group has mobilized 3 billion in cash to prepare to compete with the three Aiyouteng companies.

"That's almost it. Let's officially do it twice."

After watching for a while, Fang Ziheng picked up his phone and waved to Xu Zheng and Lei Jiaying, who were still rehearsing.

"Okay, director!"

The two stopped communicating and returned to their seats.

Three minutes later, Fang Ziheng gave the order.

"Everyone in your place!"

"The actors are in place!"

"The 100th scene, the first shot, start!"

The set fell silent for an instant.

The camera is focused on the production workshop outside the office,

Cao Bin, played by Lei Jiaying, stood with Xu Zheng with his hands behind his back, looking around at the surrounding environment.

While Xu Zheng was smoking, he suddenly asked, "How do you know them?"

The tone was very light and nonchalant, for fear that Xu Zheng would become suspicious.

"We met while playing cards. A few of them owed me money, and later they were defrauded by counterfeit drug dealers."

"I helped them collect debts, but I didn't expect them to start fighting again."

While Xu Zheng answered, he picked up an opened pack of Huazi from his desk, opened it with one hand and handed it to Lei Jiaying.

Lei Jiaying rolled his eyes with a look of disdain. He didn't even look at Xu Zheng, but looked at Zhang Yu who was busy.

"That Huang Mao is a patient, right? Why is he here with you?"

Xu Zheng was stunned, glanced at Zhang Yu quickly, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "You know him."

"I've seen it."

Hearing the understatement made Xu Zheng tremble in his heart. He knew very well that this former uncle was a ruthless person and he must not let the other party see any clues.

Xu Zheng turned around, concealed his emotions, walked back to his office seat, and said with a smile: "He was introduced by someone else."

"You may not think that he is just a patient, but he works hard. He is as good as the other two, and the salary is only half the salary."

In and out of words, Xu Zheng not only revealed his knowledge of Huang Mao, but also evaded his suspicion from Lei Jiaying.

After returning to the boss's chair, Xu Zheng gained some confidence and asked, "By the way, why do you ask this?"

"We are investigating a fake Yindu medicine case. You have sold Yindu divine oil before, and you know a few leukemia patients."

Lei Jiaying still replied tepidly, turned around, came to sit opposite the desk.

The moment he sat down, his aura changed. He stared into Xu Zheng's eyes and asked solemnly, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Do you suspect that I'm selling fake medicine?"

Xu Zheng felt something in his heart and was momentarily confused.

He immediately looked away, with a smile on his face and said: "You're kidding, officer, I know you look down on me because of the past, but you can't frame me falsely!

You have also seen that my factory is running so well and is booming, with a net profit of hundreds of thousands per month. Why should I touch that thing? "

Talking

He thought carefully for two or three seconds, took a deep sip of the Huazi in his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke and said disdainfully: "Is it very profitable?"

Click!

Just when Lei Jiaying was about to take over the scene, Fang Ziheng's voice suddenly sounded on the set calling for a pause.

Fang Ziheng came to the two of them, looked at Lei Jiaying, then at Xu Zheng, and frowned.

"Zhengzi, you are smoking the wrong cigarette. Huazi is used by Cheng Yong to entertain guests. As the boss, he smokes cigars!"

"Let's start this part again. Where are the props and cigars?"
