Chapter 544

"Produced by Great Wall Film and Television, starring Jing Tian, Geng Le, and Nie Yuan, the large-scale ancient Qing palace drama *The Legend of Da Yu'er* officially wrapped up in Chuzhou Great Wall Film and Television Base yesterday afternoon."

"In the morning, although the heroine Jing Tian was unable to attend the wrap-up banquet and media conference due to reasons, she still received unanimous recognition and praise from the director and all the crew staff..."

"Directed by Director Chen Kexin, starring Zhao Yanzi, Huang Bo, Tong Dawei, Hao Lei, and others, the anti-trafficking film *Dearest* is officially released today."

"Alibaba significantly increased its holdings..."

Two days ago, Lin Nan was still saying that Alibaba would expand its territory after this, but he didn't expect there to be movement today.

Wang Wei notified Lin Nan, Enlight, and Wanda early in the morning that Youku, Tudou's biggest rival, had issued an announcement.

For listed companies, when there are major share changes, according to regulations, they must be filed and disclosed to the CSRC and the public.

Alibaba is further acquiring the original shares of Youku. Many small shareholders have chosen to sell at a premium, and the total share is not small.

But judging from the disclosed documents, even after completing this equity change, Alibaba is still not enough to enter the board of directors, and Youku is still under the control of Gu Yongqiang.

However, the signal released by the former is already very obvious. I assume that no matter how slow Gu Yongqiang is, he definitely knows in his heart—he let the wolf into the house in the first place!

If there are no accidents, I'm afraid there will be a protracted tug-of-war of "vertical and horizontal alliances" within Youku.

But facing the strong and tiger-like Alibaba, how long can this Chairman Gu struggle?

"Therefore, from the beginning of financing, you cannot open a gap for Alibaba! This kind of investor who has enough crushing strength and the intention to occupy the magpie's nest is simply a disaster for the founding team."

On the phone, Wang Changtian said in a tone of "sharing a common hatred."

Lin Nan was noncommittal about this.

Perhaps for Gu Yongqiang, this is a disaster that gives him a headache, but for Tudou, it might not be a bad thing.

"Alibaba will not stop its pace. When they complete that step, Tudou can start financing."

"Which step?" Wang Changtian asked in confusion.

"When they completely take down Youku."

"Then, I guess it won't be long?"

Wang Changtian was already a bit excited. Tudou is like a bottomless pit, and Enlight is under the most pressure among the three.

"My predicted time is next year. I said this time to Tencent before too. Chairman Wang, be prepared, Enlight will hold on for another year."

"Tencent? They..."

"Don't worry too much. First, their style is different from Alibaba's; second, there will be agreement restrictions when entering the market.

Finally, the dual-class equity structure can ensure that the right to speak of our three companies is not threatened in the slightest. On this point, Youku was truly careless at the time and did not take it into account!"

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Wang Changtian was relieved, and his tone became much lighter.

"That's good, it must be stabilized for us. Tudou is much more valuable than Enlight. In the future, I will likely have to rely on Tudou to make a living, haha..."

"About the same, about the same."

Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh too.

"I estimate that Alibaba will come to find us again. They like monopoly and cannot give up Tudou. Does Chairman Wang understand what I mean?"

"Don't worry, I understand. Firmly decline to the end, no room for negotiation, heh."

…………

Tang Ren truly spent a fortune for that *Sound of the Desert*.

Near noon, Lin Nan heard that they had an accident at the broadcast media meeting in the capital.

I don't know which gossip media it was, but they actually asked Cai Yinong: Can this drama pass the review? Was there some shady transaction?

Listen, how can anyone ask questions like that?

Although Tang Ren is no longer the Tang Ren of the past, they cannot be humiliated to their faces like this.

That reporter was immediately called out by Boss Cai, who had a dark face.

I assume that when the event ended, the other media present had all been taken care of, otherwise this farce would not have been as simple as spreading in a small range.

It can only be said that Tang Ren is already setting sun and old, and any opponent can find fault at will to test their weight.

After all, in the internet age, everyone knows how to use internet water armies, and they are better than their predecessors.

However, Tang Ren's operation is indeed quite flashy. Now they are using Hu Ge as a blood bag.

The previous Xianxia drama *Xuan-Yuan Sword* was to support Jiang Jinfu, and this ancient costume drama is to be a spare tire for Liu Shishi and Peng Yuyan.

This usage of the first brother made other film and television companies say it was a pity and a waste. But helplessly, this corner could not be dug!

Red envelopes are a bit vulgar.

So Liu Yifei let Lin Nan prepare it; she couldn't think of what gift to send.

If it were to be sent to Xie Nan, she would have many ideas, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

Lin Nan was very straightforward. He bought a small pure gold lock for Ning Hao's son at the time, and the great Director Ning loved it. This time, he just did the same, too lazy to think more.

On the morning of the 26th, the two were ready to go to the full-month banquet.

Liu Yifei's outfit was youthful and full of vitality.

White sneakers with wide-leg jeans, a large white T-shirt on the upper body, two braids, and sunglasses, bright eyes and white teeth, quite good-looking.

Throwing her bag into the back seat, Miss Liu lazily leaned on the passenger seat, fastening her seat belt while instructing Lin Nan: "Driver, let's go."

"Alright, beauty."

On the car radio, the first-day box office of Chen Kexin's *Dearest* had already come out, reporting 12.3 million.

Still the same sentence, regardless of what this person is like, he still has some talent.

The film reviews on the internet were also very good, and many people even mentioned *Blind Mountain* from many years ago.

It's just that between the two films, one involves children and has a strong cast; the other is about women and is all grassroots.

In fact, these two films have no comparability at all. The latter was filmed more realistically and is even more unbearable to look at closely.

Until today, Lin Nan still thinks that Li Yang's spirit of not taking *Blind Mountain* to rush for awards is really worth admiring.

The radio was talking about paying attention to "anti-trafficking," and the theater chain had already doubled the screening rate of the film *Dearest*, hoping that more people would see it. Hmm, making money and public welfare, both are not delayed.

"Brother Qian, you really think highly of me. What kind of director am I now? I've only directed two films. The previous one lost a fortune, and this one was invested by Xie Nan for me. If there is any accident, it's really over.

Speaking of which, you are more professional than me, and you have even studied in the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy. Haha..."

In the hotel, Wu Jing laughed out crow's feet. Yu Qian was too good at joking. As soon as he came, he shouted directly: "Director Wu Jing, here is a gift for my nephew, take it." How could he withstand this? He was embarrassed.

Although he was only 5 years older than Wu Jing, Yu Qian's appearance seemed 15 years older than Wu Jing, a bit old-looking.

"We have connections, but not many in the film and television circle. I'm counting on you to make it out and have more paths. Haha."

"Why, I remember you are an actor. You mix in both the film and television circle and the crosstalk circle, what other paths are you looking for?" Wu Jing was a bit puzzled.

"My mixing in the film and television circle is a sideline. Looking for paths is definitely not for me. The crosstalk circle is too small, and I have to cross industries or even change careers to have a future..."

As he spoke, this person also shook his head.

Wu Jing could hear it. This person in front of him, who had always been a leisurely person who loved to play, was also worrying for others. As for who it was, it was nothing more than the younger generation.

"Speaking of paths, isn't Deyunshe also moving towards the film and television circle? What are you worried about?"

Hearing this, Yu Qian showed a helpless smile and shook his head: "They are messing around over there, all laymen... I want to find a proper..."

Just as he was about to speak, the movement around them made the two look at the entrance of the banquet hall on this floor.

"Oh, Lin Dao is here. Brother Qian, let's go, I'll introduce you to my 'path', haha..."

…………

Liu Yifei took the gift and went to Xie Nan and Liu Yan's side.

And Lin Nan chatted with the two here, and artists from the circle came to greet them from time to time.

How to put it, Lin Nan doesn't like listening to crosstalk, but he knows Yu Qian because the latter is also an actor and has acted in many TV dramas.

In terms of crosstalk, he doesn't know whose skill is better, Yu Qian or Guo Degang; but in the profession of actor, Yu Qian's acting must be completely crushing Guo Degang.

Meeting for the first time, Lin Nan's impression of this person was much better than the one surnamed Guo, so this counts as knowing each other.

When the banquet started, everyone returned to their seats. Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were counted among Xie Nan's relatives and friends, at the same table as Liu Yan and the others.

There was nothing wrong with this arrangement, it was very reasonable. After all, Lin Nan knew Xie Nan earlier, and Liu Yifei did too.

Moreover, when the Enlight host finals were held, Lin Nan even appeared to show his face and support the scene.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Nan noticed that Yu Qian and Wu Jing got up one after another. It seemed that the former had something to leave, and he smiled and signaled to Lin Nan.

"Why, leaving halfway through the meal?" A few minutes later, Xie Nan, who sat at this table to chat with Liu Yifei, Liu Yan, and others, asked Wu Jing who ran over.

"Brother Qian's apprentice is going to perform on stage this afternoon, he has to go back to hold the fort."

Hearing this, those present understood what they understood.

Lin Nan seemed to have heard someone say before that Yu Qian's apprentice is Guo Degang's son?

"It's really hard to understand. What era is it now, and he still lets a child drop out of school at that age... What is Teacher Guo thinking?"

Wu Jing muttered with a smile, which surprised many people. There is such a strange thing?

Wu Jing had already picked up the white wine: "Lin Dao, come, I toast you. Drink more today, last time we didn't drink much, and you were already not okay..."

Is this something a person says? You have been in the army and can drink well, but you don't have to show off like this!

Lin Nan cast a "help" look at Liu Yifei. He didn't want to drink with this animal, this guy couldn't stop!

Miss Liu received the signal and decisively spoke: "He can't drink, he still has to drive me back in a while. I just drank some champagne and can't drive."

After finishing her sentence, Liu Yifei winked at Lin Nan obscurely, done.

…………

How to put it, after two million words, the frequency of blocking is getting higher and higher, and even the hundred-plus chapters have problems! The kind of trumped-up charges, walking, shopping, greeting, all are said to involve negativity.

I still don't know how much I can write today, and I have to deal with the blocking.
