Chapter 244

Gao Jun, poor in his youth, worked as a conductor on the 106 trackless tram and as a clerk in a timber company.

After graduating from the Literature Department of the Beijing Film Academy, he was assigned to the Beijing Film Company and became a reporter for "Beijing Film World."

Gao Jun started film planning and marketing in 1990 and is currently the vice president of the state-owned New Film Union, a cinema chain company with China Film as the lead investor.

Boss Lu targeted him mainly to find an operator for the "Inquiry Realm Wenjie Jiahe" cinema chain that he was about to bring into his sphere of influence.

The importance of marketing to a film goes without saying.

From "Drummer" to "Thief" and "Alien Realm" in this life, Lu Kuan's personal box office and reputation in films are flying together.

In addition to the film's subject matter and quality, marketing is the top priority.

At both ends of the film, one side is the producer and the producer, and the other side is the cinema.

If you want the film industry to prosper, you must maximize the interests of both sides, which requires the role of the "cinema chain" in the middle to play an important role.

In the Chinese film circle at the beginning of the millennium, there were three top talents in the cinema chain.

North Gao Jun, South Zhao Jun, Magic City Wu Wu Hehu.

These three are all bald, but they are also extremely smart people in the organization, distribution, and marketing of cinema chains.

Among them, the New Film Union where Gao Jun is located occupies 80% of the Beijing film market;

Wu Wu Hehu is currently the vice president of the Magic City United Cinema Chain, which is the largest film distribution company in Magic City and also occupies 80% of the local market share;

Zhao Jun is the head of the Guangdong Film Company, occupying more than 50% of the market share in the entire Guangdong province.

Looking at the national plate, Beijing, Magic City, and Guangdong combined can occupy more than 35% of the national film market share.

Around 2008 in later generations, the cinema chain reform that had been implemented for many years was effective, and among the 50 cinema chains in the country, these three people occupied one-third.

Specifically to Gao Jun's genius works over the years, to be honest, even if Lu Kuan is a hanger from later generations, he is not inferior to Boss Lu.

Simple examples:

In 1995, Xu Ke and Zhang Zhang Guorong's "The Chinese Feast" was operated by him, tied to a tea merchant, and launched an activity of watching movies and sending tea, which was pioneering at the time;

In 1996, Ye Ye Daying's "Red Cherry" premiered in Beijing. At a time when the "Auction Law" had not yet been introduced in the country, he served as an auctioneer himself and created the model of "premiere auction," which was a great success.

The most famous one is 1998, when he, Han Han Shanping, and Zhang Yuan Heping of Forbidden City Film Industry created the concept of "New Year's Eve File."

In the marketing of Pants' "The Dream Factory," the production mode of state-owned film studios in the past was changed, and all main creators used a bundling system of remuneration and box office, which finally exploded.

Just one year later, Old Han entered China Film, which had just been established, as vice chairman and vice general manager because of this pioneering achievement.

Old Han in 1999, because of Gao Jun's all-out help, successfully entered China Film;

Old Han in 2004, because of Lu Kuan and the explosion of "Alien Realm," has a good hope of taking off the deputy word on his head in advance.

But now Lu Kuan wants to snatch Gao Jun from him.

Can Old Han not be embarrassed?!

Han Han Shanping stared blankly at the young director who was still holding his hand with a smile. As a Sichuanese, he had a curse he didn't know whether to say or not.

Farmer and snake!

Dongguo Mr. and wolf!

Lu Dongbin and dog!

"Lu Kuan! This is absolutely impossible, Gao Jun is doing well in the New Film Union, what are you going to do there, you don't have a cinema or a cinema chain."

Director Tong was also confused: "Yes, we can talk about digging people under Han Zong, what do you want Gao Jun to do?"

"Your Inquiry Realm Wenjie Xiying distribution company has just started, isn't it a waste of talent to let Gao Jun go over?"

Boss Lu sneered: "Not having it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future!"

"If a person has no long-term worries, there must be immediate worries. Inquiry Realm will definitely make up for this link. I am also doing some talent reserves in advance."

Old Han waved his hands repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Boss Lu looked at him funny.

Gao Jun is your soldier, but you are Old Tong's soldier!

"Han Zong, you just said it yourself, if you have any requirements, just mention it, there is no such shop after this village!"

He is not afraid of Han Han Shanping turning his face.

Just like before, "Alien Realm" brought him too much.

Especially the cultural propaganda to overseas and breaking the domestic box office record, making the giant ship of "Titanic" sink completely.

Not to mention the explosion of Travel Satellite TV this year, how much revenue it created for China Film, which invested in it.

As long as you have value, you are not afraid of having no friends, especially friends like Han Zong who have "vision."

A Gao Jun and a Lu Kuan, which is lighter and which is heavier, Old Han can still distinguish.

Director Tong can't manage so much, his main task today is to reconcile contradictions, let Lu Kuan let go and don't stare at Lu Lu Chuan and Yanda Huayi.

Especially Lu Lu Chuan's father, a member of the National Committee of the Writers Association, who comes to harass him every day, annoying people to death.

"Okay, I won't manage the following things, the organization will fully consider Gao Jun's personal wishes."

Director Tong sat on the office chair, picked up the teacup and sent the guest: "As for whether you Lu Kuan can convince him, it is your own business."

"Good, good, good, Director Tong, you rest, Han Zong and I won't disturb you."

Boss Lu dragged Old Han, who was depressed, and walked out of the director's office with a smile.

7 o'clock in the evening, Gongjian Gongjian Hutong, Ice Cellar Wang Mansion.

Today Boss Lu didn't invite anyone, one Han Han Shanping, one Dong Dong Shuangqiang.

There are only two themes, one is that "Zhu Xian" officially ended at the end of October, "Super Girl" ended, and the golden file continues the boutique drama strategy.

These three people in charge of New Vision must celebrate and drink together.

Second is to smooth Old Han's spirit, and don't leave any gaps between the two sides.

Old Han was naturally solemn, but he broke his work with a bitter smile under the frequent toasts of Lu Kuan and Dong Dong Shuangqiang.

"I really regret helping you coordinate this matter with Director Tong today, hey!"

Two taels of white wine went down, comforting Old Han's sorrowful intestines.

Dong Dong Shuangqiang smiled: "Han Zong, you have to think so."

"You went today, Director Lu dug Gao Jun."

"If you didn't go today, do you believe he would dare to dig even you?"

Han Han Shanping and Boss Lu laughed, this Old Dong is a wonderful person.

"I would rather be dug by him! What is this, I just called Gao Jun, and he was still confused."

"Tell me what you are digging Gao Jun for, anyway, I can't think of it."

Lu Kuan put down his wine glass leisurely. His cooperation with Han Han Shanping has entered the deep water area, but he is not afraid to reveal Wenjie Jiahe's affairs in advance.

But Dong Dong Shuangqiang...

Boss Lu is not sure what choice he will make between himself and Zhou Jun now.

Adults don't play between children, and don't play with him if you play with me.

It's just that seeing Zhou Jun is determined to merge with Yanda Huayi and fight against the powerful Inquiry Realm together.

There is not much time left for Dong Dong Shuangqiang to make a choice.

Just take advantage of the trend to beat him today.

"Afei, go to my study and take the fax copy from Hong Kong yesterday."

"Yes, Boss."

With the document in hand, Han Han Shanping and Dong Dong Shuangqiang looked intently.

Beijing Inquiry Realm Media Culture Co., Ltd., acquired all 24.78% of Wenjie Jiahe Group shares and convertible bonds held by Zou Zou Wenhuai and Zou Chongheng, priced at 205 million Hong Kong dollars.

Han Han Shanping looked up at him in disbelief, and everything was clear.

Gao Jun, Gao Jun, it seems that you have been targeted for more than a day or two.

He knows that "Alien Realm" is very profitable, and China Film alone has a box office share of over 100 million in the country, not to mention Lu Kuan who takes the global box office share.

But when did he start thinking about Wenjie Jiahe?

The rhythm of this planning and industrial layout is really not generally tight!

Han Han Shanping was shocked, Dong Dong Shuangqiang even more so.

Because he knows about Zhou Jun's joint investment in Yanda Huayi with internet companies such as Sina and Tom Network.

As mentioned earlier, Wang Dajun's Yanda Huayi just started making movies, and it was Dong Dong Shuangqiang who brought him into the industry. He has a very close relationship with Yanda Huayi and Zhou Jun.

Of course, interests are eternal, and the huge dividends brought by Travel Satellite TV under Lu Kuan's operation are also a part he cannot give up.

That's why he is so embarrassed.

But Zhou Jun just got the 15 million USD Series A round and prepared to go to Hong Kong to intercept Wenjie Jiahe, and the other party had already signed the share transfer agreement.

This damn thing...

"Old Dong, you don't seem too surprised."

Dong Dong Shuangqiang looked up and saw Lu Kuan looking at himself with a smile. This old glutton who has been in the mall for many years had sweat on his palms for no reason.

Lu Kuan knows that he knows Zhou Jun wants to intercept Wenjie Jiahe, but he didn't say anything.

If you don't say anything or do anything now, this relationship will definitely be alienated...

"Damn! Brother, you are on vacation in Jiuzhaigou, and I didn't mean to disturb you."

"To tell you the truth, Zhou Jun helped Yanda Huayi get 15 million USD in financing from Sina, Yahoo China, and Tom Network, accounting for 30% of their shares."

"This matter was just decided yesterday, it is estimated that it will be in the newspaper tomorrow, they... it is estimated that they are also eyeing Wenjie Jiahe."

Dong Dong Shuangqiang raised his glass without changing his face: "Brother, congratulations, you are still awesome, I am really convinced this time."

This sentence is a pun, which is an apology and a soft one.

Boss Lu didn't expect him to stand completely on his side like this.

Just if there is a situation in the future, you can report it in advance, which can be more favorable to deal with Yanda Huayi and Zhou Jun.

And this contract that reached an agreement with Wenjie Jiahe will become a small test for Dong Dong Shuangqiang.

Zou Chongheng is still pretending to be a snake with Zhou Jun at the request of Boss Lu, and the latter is currently trying his best to win this core of the film industry chain.

Since you Dong Dong Shuangqiang know that Inquiry Realm and Yanda Huayi are competing for Wenjie Jiahe, I will tell you clearly now that I have succeeded.

Now give you two choices.

Choose to report to Zhou Jun, I don't blame you, everyone will be a passerby from now on.

Please take the initiative to transfer the equity of New Vision, and Travel Satellite TV will have nothing to do with you from now on.

If you don't transfer, I will join Han Han Shanping to kick you out.

Choose to keep silent, once the Wenjie Jiahe acquisition is successful, Zhou Jun finds that he has been played, and you Dong Dong Shuangqiang know it but don't report it, then you will have a gap.

As for how to let Zhou Jun know, there are ways.

The choice is handed to you Dong Dong Shuangqiang.

Any choice you make now, no one will blame you, but if you make a choice and want to be two-sided, then you will be a person who is not a person on both sides.

Dong Dong Shuangqiang swallowed the wine in the cup with difficulty, without sweetness, only bitterness.

The pressure Lu Kuan brought him was too great.

Han Han Shanping probably finished reading the entire acquisition agreement.

"You are a big deal this time? Not only the shares of Zou Zou Wenhuai and his daughter, but also Li Li Jiacheng and other shareholders, you want to eat them all, it's really amazing!"

Actually, Lu Kuan was shocked when he heard Tom Network.

Tom financed Yanda Huayi in later generations, and Tom's president Zhou Zhou Kaixuan is the "confidante" of Huang Huang Gua.

Fortunately, Zou Zou Wenhuai and Li Li Jiacheng, who was the white knight at the beginning, had an agreement, and this time they directly repurchased the shares.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to be inserted by Zhou Zhou Kaixuan of Tom Network through Zhou Jun.

"It's a big deal, and it basically spent the income of 'Alien Realm', more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, with the goal of obtaining absolute holding power of 52.73% of Wenjie Jiahe."

Boss Lu cried poor very slyly, anyway, Han Han Shanping and Dong Dong Shuangqiang didn't know the details of his income in Hollywood.

Wealth moves people's hearts, so you can't help but guard against it.

Lu Kuan drank the wine in the cup with a smile, thinking it was really sighing.

His butterfly wings allowed him to build a huge entertainment empire in just two or three years.

At the same time, from "Drummer", "Thief" to the Crazy series, especially the explosion of "Alien Realm", also allowed countless social capital and hot money to pour into the film industry.

This process is much faster than later generations, which can be seen from the growth rate of the number of screens.

And Zhou Jun is one of the spoilers who was attracted by this blue ocean of the film market and entertainment market in this life and entered the game in advance.

Of course, this spoiler is for Lu Kuan.

For Yanda Huayi, Zhou Jun is the key person who helped them complete financing in advance, more than a year earlier than Yanda Huayi's first Series A round in later generations.

It can only be said that the demonstration effect brought by Inquiry Realm and the pressure on other film and television companies in the domestic entertainment industry are too great.

Lu Kuan is like a catfish, constantly stirring up wind and rain, pushing the entire industry forward.

It's just that his layout for Yanda Huayi and the encirclement of industrial logic have been going on, and the merger of Zhou Jun and Yanda Huayi is just to make this fat pig fatter.

As long as it is not fat enough that he can't eat it in one bite, he is not afraid of the pig hurting people, it is always people eating pigs.

After the banquet, the three dispersed with their own thoughts.

Han Han Shanping is considering the person in charge of the New Film Union after Gao Jun leaves;

Dong Dong Shuangqiang is considering his own position, he can hear Lu Kuan's beating just now, and the background of Zhou Jun and Yanda Huayi...

Boss Lu is on his way to Huabin Golf, considering...

Considering what posture to use with Fan Bingbing tonight.

The scenes of "Single Men and Women" in Beijing ended, and he had to transfer to Gusu tomorrow. Boss Lu, who had been plain for a week, was already itchy.

As soon as he entered the door, Fan Bingbing had already prepared hangover soup.

Watching a charming big actress with full aura in front of people, colorful;

Back home, she washed her hands and made soup, waiting for the gentleman to taste it, which is really a happy thing in the world.

No wonder Xu Jiayin's money is to engage in a song and dance troupe, looking at it every day without lying down is pleasing to the eye.

Fan Bingbing served him to finish the hangover soup with extreme small meaning, and the two bathed together.

Boss Lu asked about the matter of bridging the gap for her before: "Have you been in contact with Galliano, Wintour and them recently?"

"Hmm! I watched the exhibition several times, Galliano is interested in Chinese culture, and I sent him many art collections of Chinese paintings."

"He was very happy and said this was his new source of inspiration."

Lu Kuan nodded, knowing that Fan Bingbing doesn't need people to worry about this.

Knowing himself at the end of 2001, and daring to run to a hotel in Jiangsu province at the beginning of 2002 to smash the yellow dragon, this courage is not possessed by every female star.

Speaking of which, she knew Lu Kuan earlier than Liu Liu Yifei.

Unfortunately, the same person has different lives.

"I saw your cover photo in the October issue, what about that dress?"

"At home, what's wrong?"

Boss Lu's hands kept moving: "Wear it next time."

Fan Bingbing smiled charmingly: "Do you still need that thing to help the fun? Every time like a beast."

Then she sighed: "Su Mang and that group of people are really realistic. I posted photos with Galliano and Wintour on the blog on the front foot, and "Harper's Bazaar" found me as soon as I returned to China."

"Boss Lu~~~ How should I thank you?"

The big actress leaned her head lightly, licking his earlobe with her tongue, doing her best to be charming.

Boss Lu held the white snow lightly, the tender and smooth pudding was fragrant and soft: "Just thank me like this."

The bathtub pool overflowed the floor, and for a while the spring was boundless.

"Smoke one for me too?"

"You? It's not good for women to smoke, don't smoke."

After the two finished talking, Lu Kuan was flipping through the October issue of "Harper's Bazaar" she mentioned.

Fashion magazines usually talk about "Golden Nine and Silver Ten."

These two months are considered the most important time period in the fashion industry.

September is the beginning of the new year in the fashion industry, last year's popular styles are eliminated, and major brands will release heavy new fashion and trends.

October is slightly inferior to September.

The reason why these two months are important is because they are the concentrated release period of fashion information, and also the key period for advertisers and brands to compete for market share.

For fashion magazines, Golden Nine and Silver Ten is the busiest period for the editorial department and the advertising department, and it is also the best time to show their comprehensive strength and influence.

For stars, appearing on the cover of fashion magazines in these two months is obviously the most convincing proof of their status and status in the fashion circle.

Fan Bingbing in the previous life only appeared on the cover of "Harper's Bazaar" for the first time in 2008, let alone Golden Nine and Silver Ten.

She certainly understands the meaning of this, so how can she not be devoted to Boss Lu.

It's just that the more she gets, the more the big actress's ambition expands.

I knew you earlier than her, I paid more than her.

Why is the heroine of the domestic box office champion movie not me?

Why is the one wearing Hanfu in Paris not me?

Lu Kuan certainly doesn't have the ability to see through people's hearts, he didn't notice Fan Bingbing's expression looking at him.

Both love and fear.

"Shot well, in another year or two, the title of the first female star in the domestic fashion circle will be yours."

Boss Lu beckoned to her with a smile, letting Fan Bingbing sit on his lap.

A body of fragrant and tender soft meat, holding it is extremely comfortable.

I don't know what it feels like to hold little Liu?

emm

Boss Lu couldn't wait.

Fan Bingbing wrapped around Lu Kuan's neck, her heart full of melancholy and resentment, but her face was still decorated with a beautiful smile.

What is a big actress?

Even if the heart is cold to the bone, the face is still burning!

Just like Fan Bingbing in later generations, stepping on countless slanders and black materials, she also has to move forward to release her ambition.

She interpreted what is colorful, golden and brilliant, ups and downs, lights and green wine, and head and horns. She is a microcosm of the top female stars in the domestic entertainment industry of an era.

Of course, if you do something wrong, you should be beaten and punished, this cannot be avoided.

The time is still early, the two continue tonight's kpi, and there is another creaking sound of the dragon and phoenix chair in the room...

The domestic entertainment industry is surging, the rift between Yanda Huayi and Inquiry Realm has stopped, and each has started an "arms race."

First, Yanda Huayi announced the cooperation with Tom Network, Yahoo China, and Sina at the press conference at the Media Center.

The financing amount of up to 60 million USD is staggering.

The share ratio is placed there, the larger the number, the higher the recognition of Yanda Huayi's valuation by relevant enterprises and venture capital.

Following Inquiry Realm, another domestic entertainment aircraft carrier is about to set sail.

This investment of nearly 500 million RMB means that Yanda Huayi can invest in any blockbuster, can start to develop distribution and cinema business, and can invest in the construction of film and television cities.

Can further improve all links in the film industry chain.

Moreover, this is only the first round.

The pressure is on Inquiry Realm, unfortunately there is no movement.

Yanda Huayi pursued the victory, and through professional media such as "China Film News" and "Beijing Daily," officially announced that it had initially reached an agreement with Hong Kong Wenjie Jiahe Shares.

It will conduct the last round of negotiations on the share transfer in the hands of the Zou family father and daughter in the near future, which is the first card played after the huge financing of 60 million USD.

Very abruptly and rarely, a senior pen holder in the Policy Research Office of the Reform Commission published an editorial in the "People's Daily":

"On the Important Significance of Yanda Huayi Brothers' Acquisition of Hong Kong Wenjie Jiahe Shares under the Situation of the New Service Trade Agreement."

The new service trade agreement mentioned here is the CEPA mentioned above, that is, the regulation that Hong Kong films can enter the mainland without quota restrictions.

The article details:

The marriage between mainland film giant Yanda Huayi and Wenjie Jiahe can greatly promote the integration of film resources in the two places and enhance the cooperation of funds and technology.

At the same time, Yanda Huayi Shares under the leadership of Wang Dajun can promote the integration and innovation of film types in the two places with a more open mind and a more positive attitude.

This is of great significance for jointly creating Chinese film brands and expanding international market channels, and it is a good thing that has a hundred benefits and no harm to the industry and the audience!

Boss Lu also read this editorial, which simply blew Yanda Huayi into the savior of the domestic film industry, as if it were a crime if Wenjie Jiahe didn't sell to Yanda Huayi!

This is equivalent to putting pressure on Wenjie Jiahe through official editorials, hoping that they can know the current affairs.

At the same time, the foreign exchange account of Inquiry Realm's mainland company received strict supervision, and the Administration suspended the exchange on the grounds of abnormal transactions.

This is to restrict the free flow of Inquiry Realm's accounts from funds, and not let the large amount of "Alien Realm" box office share in Inquiry Realm's overseas accounts flow back to the mainland.

Attempting to slow down Inquiry Realm's rhythm of touching Wenjie Jiahe.

Zhou Jun and Wang Dajun took turns for nearly two months, although Zou Chongheng always greeted with a smile, he always failed to reach an agreement in the end.

Therefore, they created momentum on the surface and tripped secretly, doing everything possible to intercept Wenjie Jiahe.

Boss Lu's purpose in letting Zou Chongheng drag them is here.

He wants to see who is standing behind Zhou Jun and the big and small Wangs under such a situation, and how much power they can borrow.

In the future, it can also be prevented in a targeted manner.

The situation is excellent, at the Yanda Huayi headquarters in Beijing, Zhou Jun and the big and small Wang brothers are celebrating in the office, Feng Feng Xiaogang and Lu Lu Chuan are supporting.

Dong Dong Shuangqiang is also here today, dragged by Zhou Jun.

As mentioned earlier, Dong Dong Shuangqiang is an old gun in the film circle, and he made movies earlier than Yanda Huayi.

He himself is also relatively close to the Beijing circle.

Zhou Jun said earnestly: "Old Dong, as a brother, it's not that I can't see you well, but you are a bit too close to Lu Kuan."

Wang Wang Xiaolei supported Zhou Young Master: "Brother Dong, you brought me into the industry when you made movies, I am very grateful to you."

"Indeed, Lu Kuan is talented, and your Travel Satellite TV is also doing very well, but look at the current situation?"

"Fan Bingbing, Nara, Fan Bingbing, and dozens of top artists under Wang Wang Jinhua are in hand, 500 million financing is in hand, and Brother Jun is also determined to win Wenjie Jiahe."

"Brother Dong, that kid's money in overseas accounts can't come in now, there is no hope."

Dong Dong Shuangqiang smiled bitterly and drank tea to cover up the embarrassment in his heart.

He felt embarrassed for this group of bastards.

"Brothers, don't embarrass me, you two gods are fighting, I won't get involved."

Feng Feng Xiaogang just walked out of the scandal of scolding reporters recently, and smiled when he heard the words: "I saw a comment today that said it well."

"Now the masters are among the people, and the clowns are in the hall, isn't this talking about that kid?"

Lu Lu Chuan was also filled with righteous indignation: "In the past, Qu Yuan was demoted and wrote the famous article 'Chu Ci Bu Ju' in anger."

"The yellow bell is destroyed, the tile pot is thundering, the slanderers are high, and the virtuous are nameless!"

"Boss Zhou, two Boss Wangs, I want to thank you, thank you for presiding over justice, attacking slanderers, and speaking for 'Kekexili'."

"Now it is the side of justice, Yanda Huayi is about to win, I am looking forward to the future domestic film industry, which can let us pure filmmakers write and draw!"

If you ask who is the most active in jumping up and down now that Yanda Huayi is in power, it is Lu Lu Chuan and his father, a member of the National Committee of the Writers Association.

The cooperation between Yanda Huayi and Wenjie Jiahe gave him hope that his dream of replacing Lu Kuan as the first young director in the country would be realized.

Since Cannes in 2002, he has been watching this petty director who only knows hype and marketing and grandstanding rise to the top!

Shamelessly labeling himself as a commercial film director!

Betrayed the director group at the Beijing Film Academy Seven Gentlemen Symposium and acted as a gun for the authorities!

Frequently using endless hype means to output his film garbage, fooling those ignorant audiences!

Let truly good art films, such as his two masterpieces, not get the proper scheduling rate.

Is it okay now?

Yanda Huayi combines with internet capital, who can't hype two times in the future?

Sina is a website with much older qualifications than Blog Network!

Yanda Huayi acquires Wenjie Jiahe cinema chain, who can't get high scheduling in the future?

Can your "Alien Realm" be scheduled for 90%?

Yanda Huayi-affiliated cinema chains will give you 10% at most!

Go play on the side!

Taro began to indulge in the beautiful future, as if his "Kekexili" was disqualified from the Golden Horse Awards, it was not so sad.

At this moment in the Yanda Huayi office, only Dong Dong Shuangqiang was sitting on pins and needles, stuck in his throat, and on his back.

Lu Kuan, Lu Kuan, you really have a good poisonous plan!

Today this group of bastards celebrated in front of me, and when they knew they were played, and thought of today's things, how can I, Old Dong, meet them!

Embarrassing, too damn embarrassing.

Yanda Huayi is noisy, Inquiry Realm is silent.

Reporters are good at picking things up, Yanda Huayi is cooking oil with fire, and they have been blocking in front of the Ideal Building newly purchased by Inquiry Realm.

Except for Lu Kuan, who is devoted to editing and repairing the loopholes of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," they can't touch.

Basically, Inquiry Realm's executives from Sun Sun Wenwen, Lu Yao, Zhong Zhong Lifang, Liu Hong, to male and female artists scattered on various film sets have been interviewed.

Including Tong Tong Liya who just entered the Beijing Film Academy this year, she was confused.

"May I ask what Inquiry Realm has to deal with the challenger Yanda Huayi?"

"May I ask how Inquiry Realm views the trend of top artists leaning towards Yanda Huayi?"

No comment, no comment, all no comment.

The big and small Wang brothers were high-spirited. Recently, they accepted an interview with a reporter from "Beijing Daily" and talked about the competition between the two companies. Wang Wang Xiaolei was righteous:

"Yanda Huayi is already qualified to say that from the position of strength, it officially challenges Inquiry Realm and keeps pace in the domestic entertainment industry."

If the balance of victory was originally maintained, then under the subtle guidance of public opinion, Yanda Huayi vaguely meant to occupy the top chair in the domestic entertainment circle.

For the onlookers, the most significant sign is that Zhang Zhang Jizhong, who has always been on good terms with Lu Kuan, has also signed with Yanda Huayi.

This drama circle tycoon, who has cooperated since Boss Lu's debut and is currently creating "The Return of the Condor Heroes" for Liu Liu Yifei of the "Inquiry Realm faction," has also invested in the opponent's embrace.

This is another big shot in the TV drama circle who has entered the game after reaching a strategic cooperation with Hairun Film and Television and Zhang Zhang Guoli signing.

This fire that Yanda Huayi started from the end of October burned incomparably, and also shook the confidence of many Inquiry Realm forces.

Huo Huo Wenxi called Li Li Shoucheng at the Beijing headquarters.

"Boss Li, Yanda Huayi got the script of 'Chinese Paladin 3' and sent an audition invitation to Tang Yan, we?"

"Go, it's just an audition, what's the big deal."

Li Li Shoucheng was watering flowers in the garden. He is 61 years old this year, and he has been living in seclusion since he was old.

"I'm afraid that Lu Sheng..."

"What are you afraid of, the copyright of 'Myth' was sold to him, Lu Sheng is not that stingy."

Huo Huo Wenxi tested: "Then our attitude towards Yanda Huayi and Inquiry Realm in the future..."

Li Li Shoucheng pondered for a few seconds, decided to brainwash the female subordinate again, and strengthen her thinking.

"Mani, do you know why you were put in Beijing two years ago?"

"Boss..."

"I'll say it vulgarly, just because you are a woman, Lu Sheng likes to engage in women, understand?"

Huo Huo Wenxi certainly didn't dare to get angry with the boss, but these words were clearly telling herself.

The priority of Inquiry Realm and Lu Kuan's line is higher than any other, and she cannot be distracted.

Perhaps this world, except for Liu Liu Yifei who trusts Lu Kuan 100%, counts as Li Li Shoucheng.

Little Liu is because from the age of 15, when her worldview and outlook on life were being shaped, she was intentionally or unintentionally brainwashed, or influenced by what she saw and heard;

And Li Li Shoucheng was because of Chen Bo's last words, the faith created by the strange power and chaos made this "old man" of the age of knowing destiny convinced.

Not to mention the benefits Yinghuang got from "Alien Realm."

Thinking of the little god, Boss Li also went to call him by the way.

"Lu Sheng, the money has arrived, have you received it?"

"Boss Li, it's already in Zou Zou Wenhuai's account, haha!"

"Good, wait for your press conference, I'll go join in the fun too."

"Welcome!"

The light is cooking oil with fire, and the dark is surging.

Just like this "mutual black" and "arms race" between Yanda Huayi and Inquiry Realm:

No one knows that Boss Lu had a deep talk with the bearded man during his few days of vacation in Jiuzhaigou;

No one knows that as early as the day after Liu Liu Yifei's black material was leaked in October, Sina, which later invested in Yanda Huayi, had already become the prey of Lu Kuan and Chen Chen Tianqiao;

No one knows that when Zhou Jun imposed various policy obstacles on Inquiry Realm in the mainland, and even directly cut off the inflow of foreign exchange funds, Boss Lu borrowed 300 million Hong Kong dollars from Li Li Shoucheng's Yinghuang to pay for the share transfer.

No one knows that in mid-November 2004, Boss Lu brought Gao Jun, who had already "surrendered," and appeared at Zou Zou Wenhuai's house on Cumberland Road, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.

After the acquisition agreement and procedures were formally fulfilled, on the morning of the 17th, a press conference was formally held at the Wenjie Jiahe Building, 687 Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Hong Kong.

Whether it is holding a premiere or a celebration in the mainland, except for the Yanda Huayi faction, basically everyone gave face to attend and celebrate.

And today in Hong Kong, it seems that Boss Lu's appeal is no weaker than the mainland.

On the surface, there are film circle celebrities invited by Zou Zou Wenhuai, Yinghuang and Huaguoxing help, and Mei Mei Yanfang as the big sister to call in the circle of friends.

Creating momentum is of course indispensable, Travel Satellite TV is broadcast live throughout, and Blog Network is broadcast live in text.

Stars such as Liang Liang Jiahui, Zhang Zhang Manyu, Fang Long, and Liu Liu Dehua all arrived, even Xie Tingfeng, who had a rift with Boss Lu, sat under the stage with peace of mind.

To this day, he doesn't have such high spirits.

It's not a person in the same world at all, so what to talk about chasing or not chasing, convinced or not.

It's just that the Hong Kong little king in this life is really a bit miserable, offending Boss Lu is secondary, and Lu Kuan didn't have so much leisure to clean him up later.

Mainly in terms of feelings, Wang Fei has already announced with Ya Peng, and will get married next year.

Zhang Zhang Baizhi broke up with him after the phone incident, because after "Love 33 Days" exploded, the market in the mainland also opened.

Although the two are now filming in the "Wu Ji" crew, they have basically become strangers.

The news spread to the mainland, and the always diligent Wang Dajun rarely failed to arrive at the office on time to hold a morning meeting for department managers;

Zhou Jun had a blue face, took his wife to visit some old friends of the older generation, to see if there was any room for recovery;

Wang Wang Xiaolei was so angry that he broke the hand string with excellent quality that he had just collected at home, and looked at the big and small yellow pear wood beads falling to the ground in a decadent manner.

Those ding-dong sounds were like heavy hammers, smashing into the hearts of the Yanda Huayi crowd who were still celebrating just now.

Equally shocking was Dong Dong Shuangqiang in front of the TV.

Looking at Lu Kuan, who was still indifferent on the screen of Travel Satellite TV, he secretly made a decision in his heart.

The press conference started, without any gimmicks, Zou Chongheng, as the former general manager, will continue to serve as the deputy general manager of Wenjie Jiahe as a transition.

Therefore, the news of Wenjie Jiahe changing owners was announced by her.

"Recently, Inquiry Realm has purchased a total of 24.78% of the shares under the names of Mr. Zou Zou Wenhuai and Ms. Zou Chongheng, and 8% of the shares under the name of Mr. Li Li Jiacheng, becoming the largest single shareholder of Wenjie Jiahe."

"So far, Inquiry Realm has obtained a cumulative 32.78% equity of Wenjie Jiahe shares and will initiate a tender offer."

Since Lu Kuan arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago, Wenjie Jiahe shares have been suspended from trading as required due to "major matters."

At that time, no one thought that this so-called major matter was actually the southward hunting of mainland entertainment giants.

Except for insiders such as Li Li Shoucheng and Mei Mei Yanfang, the media at the scene was in an uproar.

Then it was Zou Zou Wenhuai who came to the stage to speak tremblingly. He wanted to use his influence to create momentum for him before Lu Boss entered Wenjie Jiahe, helping him conquer the team.

"To tell you the truth, I negotiated the share transfer when I was playing bridge with Boss Lu."

"He deliberately lost the game to me to make this old man happy."

Mei Mei Yanfang, Fang Long and others laughed when they heard it, and truly felt Zou Zou Wenhuai's recognition of Lu Kuan.

Zou Zou Wenhuai sighed for a long time: "Maybe I am old this year, my sleep has always been bad, and I always dream when I sleep at night."

"One day I dreamed of Little Dragon."

"He has been asking me: Zou Sheng, is Wenjie Jiahe okay? How are our movies?"

"I can't answer."

The Hong Kong filmmakers who are old are a bit sad, and the distance from the era of that Oriental Hollywood is indeed a bit long.

The glory of Hong Kong films is hard to reappear.

"Until the day Chongheng talked to Lu Sheng, she told me, Daddy, the matter is done."

"It's a pity that I suffered from insomnia that night, I really want to dream of Little Dragon again, I want to tell him!"

"Little Dragon, I handed over Wenjie Jiahe to a young man from the mainland. His movie this year won the global box office weekly champion and made a lot of money from the foreign devils in Hollywood!"

"Those foreign devils are saying, wow, your Chinese monsters are really beautiful and romantic, your Chinese girls fight so sharply."

Zou Zou Wenhuai shed tears as he spoke: "I can almost imagine that Little Dragon must be dancing with joy."

Zou Chongheng also heard her eye sockets turn red, she knew this was her father's unfinished career.

Now, finally found someone worth entrusting.

Lu Kuan walked over and held Zou Zou Wenhuai's hand: "Zou Sheng, take good care of your health, wait for the day when Chinese films surpass Hollywood, you go to the dream and tell Mr. Li Lan Xiaolong!"

The scene was also crying and laughing.

Rather than saying this is an advance of mainland capital into the Hong Kong film circle, it is better to say it is the entrustment of the previous generation of Hong Kong film circle big shots.

There are many young viewers on Travel Satellite TV, but there are also many middle-aged people attracted by the Hanfu gathering that day and golden file movies such as "Lurk."

These middle-aged people's youth also grew up watching Wenjie Jiahe movies.

They have almost seen a whole generation of Hong Kong classics, and they are no strangers to Wenjie Jiahe's "Dang Dang Dang Dang" opening.

Blog Network also began to swipe the screen collectively, the host of the text live broadcast asked everyone to interact and say the Wenjie Jiahe movies they watched when they were young.

With Zou Zou Wenhuai's entrustment, these memories with feelings transferred the love for Wenjie Jiahe to the new "Inquiry Realm Wenjie Jiahe."

All movie fans are looking forward to the new Wenjie Jiahe being able to reappear the original glory under the leadership of the country's first director.

These movie fans will also become the biggest help for the subsequent Wenjie Jiahe cinema chain to open up territory in the mainland.

The power of feelings is infinite.

After Zou Zou Wenhuai and his daughter finished saying goodbye, the protagonist gave it to Boss Lu without giving way.

"Wen Wei Po" reporter asked: "Director Lu, this big acquisition of Wenjie Jiahe, are you preparing to put the center of your career in the Hong Kong film market?"

"The two places are one family, but the overall industry situation at present is definitely moving from south to north, whether it is funds or talents, this is an indisputable fact."

"The combination of Inquiry Realm and Wenjie Jiahe will be an integrated operation of film production and distribution."

"As a director and chairman of Inquiry Realm, I am also looking forward to using this bridge to cooperate with excellent colleagues in Hong Kong."

Subsequently, Mei Mei Yanfang, Fang Long, Liang Liang Jiahui and others at the scene accepted interviews.

They sang praises for Lu Kuan himself and the intervention of Inquiry Realm, believing that this is a strong alliance between the film industries of the two places, which is conducive to the development of the entire Chinese film industry.

A few days later, Wenjie Jiahe shares in Hong Kong stocks opened a violent rise as soon as they resumed trading, the stock price doubled 6 times, and finally reached a price close to 3 yuan.

And Boss Lu's tender offer for other shareholders and buying in the secondary market in advance, after spending nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars, finally completely mastered Wenjie Jiahe with a shareholding ratio of about 52.7%!

All industry insiders, entertainment reporters, film reporters in the country, and even onlookers and experts on the internet were surprised.

What is called not singing, it is amazing.

When Yanda Huayi was engaged in an arms race and vaguely wanted to occupy the top position of domestic entertainment companies, Inquiry Realm had already quietly completed the construction of the entire industrial chain under the leadership of Lu Kuan.

The most injured is Zhou Jun.

He felt that he had learned about the industrial trends of Inquiry Realm and Lu Kuan in advance and attempted to intercept, and also set obstacles to the acquisition from the policy level, but he still failed.

If it weren't for the use of connections and background to facilitate the cooperation between internet companies such as Sina and Yanda Huayi, I am afraid that this time will lose the qualification to compete with Inquiry Realm forever.

For a person like Zhou Jun who prides himself on his academic qualifications, background, and IQ, this is a major blow to his high heart.

In the following days, the "change of dynasty" of Wenjie Jiahe shares proceeded quietly.

Lu Kuan served as chairman of the board of Wenjie Jiahe Entertainment, and Gao Jun served as general manager.

Zou Zou Wenhuai retired honorably, still serving as honorary consultant, and his daughter Zou Chongheng served as deputy general manager, assisting Gao Jun in the transition.

Acquired Wenjie Jiahe, in addition to supplementing the last link of Inquiry Realm's film industry chain, there are many extra benefits.

For example, some movies cannot pass the review in the mainland due to subject matter problems, or even cannot pass the review in the name of co-production, now they can be invested in the name of Wenjie Jiahe.

For example, the previous Inquiry Realm wanted to borrow and finance, except for the Ideal Building bought later, there was no real estate as collateral, and the financing amount was limited.

Now with the Wenjie Jiahe Building in Hong Kong, and so many cinemas and film cities in Hong Kong and the country, the convenience of financing has been greatly improved.

In addition, Lu Kuan studied with Gao Jun the cinema chain resources of Wenjie Jiahe in addition to the mainland and Hong Kong:

In Taiwan, Wenjie Jiahe is the largest shareholder of Warner Village Cinema Chain in Taiwan. The cinema chain has 9 film cities and 87 cinemas in Taiwan, occupying about 33% of the market share in Taiwan;

In Singapore, Wenjie Jiahe has 9 film cities, occupying more than 40% of the market share in Singapore;

In Malaysia, the cinema chain operated by Wenjie Jiahe and local Xihua Film has 10 cinemas, also occupying a considerable market share.

What does this mean?

It means that after this, the movies of Inquiry Realm and Lu Kuan in Southeast Asia no longer need to rely on the hands of Yinghuang and Anle, and can do distribution directly by themselves!

Mastering Wenjie Jiahe is mastering a distribution network all over Southeast Asia, which is priceless!

If Lu Kuan wants to invest money to build this network again, it is impossible to do it without paying several times the price.

Media reprinted news and published reports.

Among them, a passage in the commentary of "China Film Report" aroused widespread identification among movie fans:

Lu Kuan criticized the unprofessionalism of some young actors in Hong Kong in 2002, and the beating incident of the "Little Fish and Flowers" crew this year once again proved this point;

Lu Kuan proposed in 2003 that Hong Kong films going north and the trend of commercial films are the two major trends in the future, which has almost become a consensus this year;

Lu Kuan talked about when communicating with Hong Kong director Wu Wu Yusen at Cannes in 2004, Hong Kong filmmakers should abandon their high-ranking posture and bow down to integrate into the mainland film circle.

When some people think that this young director, who is only twenty-three years old, was just pointing fingers at the time, making people annoying.

This time, he finally did it for real.

Opponents and questioners woke up, and the Wenjie Jiahe they were once proud of had changed owners.

Looking back, the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains.
