I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 220 The new directors of Galloping Pony!
The filming of "From Marriage to Love" filmed by Cheng Yi and Zhou Yutong went smoothly, but the web drama "The Legendary Chen Qianqian" was not smooth. After all, Liu Yuning and Zhao Lusi had no acting experience before.

At any rate, Liu Yuning and Zhang Ruonan have worked together to film the microfilm of Mao's Tree Studio, and Zhao Lusi is really a newcomer.

When Bai Xiaolu Studio announced that Zhao Lusi would star in "The Legendary Chen Qianqian", Zhang Ruonan's fans complained for Zhang Ruonan, "Zhang Ruonan and Liu Yuning are both old people from Weimeng Media, and they joined Bai Xiaolu Studio together. The micro-film starring the individual is quite well received, why not let the two of them play together?"

Zhang Ruonan's first appearance in the second issue of "Longing for Life" was well received. She has the face of a nation's first love, and she is diligent and cute in the show.He Jiong praised Zhang Ruonan and Wu Lei as a pair of diligent siblings, and He Jiong and Liu Yiwei are parents.

In fact, the opinions of fans are trivial matters. There are a few agencies that care about the opinions of fans. Unless they are fans of traffic stars, such as Siba Media and Lehua Entertainment, they need fans to support them.Lehua Entertainment relied on Han Geng in the first few years, and Wang Yibo in the next few years. This kind of company actually plans to go public. Isn't this a proper way to collect money in the stock market?

However, Zhao Lusi's acting skills are not what Zheng Wentong is most worried about. Zhao Lusi's knowledge reserve is even more worrying. She doesn't even know some historical common sense. , and found a teacher to give her cultural lessons.

Zhao Lusi had a bitter face. She was not a material for studying, so she wanted to be an actress.She really didn't expect to leave school and still have to take culture classes, but she didn't dare to disobey the big boss's wishes.

However, in order to encourage her, the studio has helped her contact the variety show of the second season of "Mars Intelligence Agency". It just so happens that Zhao Lusi also knows Wang Han at home.Unlike Zhang Ruonan, Zhao Lusi's family conditions are good, belonging to a small rich family.If we make a ranking according to the wealth of the original family, Zhao Lusi > Bai Xiaolu > Zhang Ruonan > Yang Chaoyue.

One month after its release, "Passing Through the World" broke 8 million at the box office, breaking the 7.86 million box office record of "BJ Meets Seattle: A Love Letter", becoming the highest-grossing romance film in China.

Yanjing Pony Pentium held a celebration banquet in Yanjing to celebrate the success of the film's main creators, but surprisingly, the big boss Zheng Wentong did not attend the celebration banquet. Only the chairman Zhong Lifang appeared at the celebration banquet. mean.

"Passing Through Your World" has a box office of more than 8 million yuan, with a publicity cost of 4000 million yuan and a production cost of 1000 million yuan. The salary of the leading actors is about 2500 million yuan. This movie has created a net profit of about 2 million yuan for Yanjing Galloping Horse. .

Bai Xiaolu asked her boyfriend worriedly, "If you don't attend the celebration banquet, will Zhang Yibai feel that you don't pay enough attention to him? Galloping Horse is now preparing to go public again. If Zhang Yibai switches to another company before going public, it will be troublesome."

"Do you think Zhang Yibai won't switch to another company if I attend the celebration banquet? This is like falling in love. Girls take the initiative to break up because they want to be retained, and boys break up as a notice."

"Several companies have been in contact with Zhang Yibai during this period, including Enlight Media and Huanxi Media. When Zhang Yibai contacted these companies, he did not shy away from me."

"Zhang Yibai is up for sale right now. He wants to take advantage of the box office hit and negotiate terms with me. But it's a pity that "Passing Through Your World" is his highlight moment. It's easy to get together and get away." Zheng Wentong said.

When Yanjing Galloping Horse internally subscribed for shares, "Passing Through Your World" just happened to be released.Zhang Yibai made two requests to the company:

One, his next movie will be invested. In addition to the director's remuneration, he hopes to get box office dividends.

Second, this internal subscription, he hopes to buy at least 25 million shares of Galloping Horse at an internal subscription price of 100 yuan.

When Zhong Lifang conveyed Zhang Yibai's two requests to Zheng Wentong, Zheng Wentong refused directly, without any room for negotiation.

Zhong Lifang means that Zhang Yibai can conditionally agree to Zhang Yibai's request, and can set up a standard line for box office dividends. For example, after the box office exceeds 4 million, Zhang Yibai can participate in dividends.

If Zhang Yibai wants to buy 100 million internally subscribed shares, she may not participate in the internally subscribed shares and give up the shares to Zhang Yibai.

Before Zheng Wentong made a statement, Zhang Yibai first came to show off, and met with representatives of other film and television media companies in Yanjing.

For Zheng Wentong, Ning Hao, Shen Teng and Shu Huan are the indispensable part of the signed director and screenwriter, Zhang Yibai is actually dispensable.

The shooting of "Passing Through Your World" can only be said to be unsatisfactory, taking advantage of the subject matter and the location and casting of the outside shooting.

Zheng Wentong bought the right to adapt the novel "Passing Through Your World" with the same name. Zheng Wentong and Zhang Jiajia jointly completed the screenwriting work. Zheng Wentong decided on the location of Daocheng Yading for the filming. Zheng Wentong decided to star Deng Chao, Yue Yunpeng and Liu Yan. Yang Yang, Bai Baihe and Du Juan are Zhang Baiding.

Before the film was released, other film and television companies had already begun to discredit Zhang Yibai, Deng Chao, Liu Yan, Bai Baihe and others.If it weren't for Zheng Wentong's good communication with these big guys, how could "Passing Through Your World" have a box office of 8 million. Zhang Yibai has no capital to take credit for Zheng Wentong.

As a director, Zhang Yibai is good at marketing, and even bad movies can get a good box office, but it's a pity that he can't make high-quality content.Some capital may like such a director, but Zheng Wentong is not interested in Zhang Yibai, after all, his black history is real.

But marketing Zheng Wentong will also do it. Zheng Wentong personally worked on the publicity plans for "Wolf Warrior 1", "Charlotte Annoyance" and "The Mermaid".So for Galloping Pony, Ning Hao and Shen Teng are indispensable, while Zhang Yibai is dispensable.

When Slope Investment first acquired Galloping Horse, Zheng Wentong needed Ning Hao and Zhang Yibai to stabilize the company's valuation, so he immediately announced the casting of "Crazy Alien" and "Passing Through Your World".

But Zheng Wentong is also benevolent to the old people of Galloping Horse. Li Ming, the founder of Galloping Horse, has fulfilled all the equity incentives promised to these Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai, Shu Huan, Liu Heng, Lan Xiaolong, Kong Ergou and the company's management positions. .

Ning Hao initially held 2.5% of the shares. With the addition of the 100 million shares subscribed internally this time, his shareholding became 3%, and Shu Huan's shareholding became 1%. Zheng Wentong also cashed in Zhang Yibai's 1% shareholding.

Galloping Horse was valued at RMB 85 billion before listing, so Zhang Yibai’s 1% stake is also RMB 8500 million.Perhaps it was Zheng Wentong's different treatment of Ning Hao and Zhang Yibai that made Zhang Yibai dissatisfied, so he made a request to Zheng Wentong while the movie was hot. "I didn't even bother to attend the celebration banquet.

Zheng Wentong set up conditions for Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai and others when exchanging equity incentives. If they leave the company in the future, they need to sell the company’s equity they hold to Slope Investment at the company’s market value at that time.

So if Zhang Yibai wants to leave, Zheng Wentong will never keep him, let Zhang Yibai leave with 8500 million.Zhang Yibai also made a movie for the company with a box office of 8 million, and he could get 8500 million. Zheng Wentong felt that he was really interesting.

But Zhang Yibai didn't think so in his heart. He knew that if he stayed in the company, if Galloping Horse went public and the company's market value doubled or tripled, the 1% stake might become 1 million or even 2 million.

However, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange stipulates that the original shares subscribed by insiders cannot be traded within one year, and the stocks can only be sold after the restricted period.If the development of Galloping Horse is going well, the stocks held by Zhang Yibai will of course be more valuable, but if the company's development is unfavorable, then the stock price may also fall, so it is better to cash out now and leave.

After the celebration banquet, Zhang Yibai wanted to fight for him again, so he contacted Zheng Wentong, but Zheng Wentong still refused to let go.

Zhang Yibai felt ashamed, and there was no place to stay here. At the end of October, Zhang Yibai announced that he would join Huanxi Media Co., Ltd., and Huanxi Media had another shareholder director.Slope Investment’s shareholding in Galloping Horse has also become 10%, plus the 49.33% held by Tonglu Investment Fund, Zheng Wentong’s stake in Galloping Horse has become 6%.
Because Galloping Horse is preparing to go public in full swing, Zhang Yibai's departure makes investors bearish on the valuation of Galloping Horse.Cheng Wei believes that Zheng Wentong should adjust the valuation of Galloping Horse in real time, and the market value of the IPO should be adjusted to about RMB 75 billion.

On November [-]st, Yanjing Galloping Horse announced the signing of five directors including Song Xiaofei, Rao Xiaozhi, Xue Xiaolu, Guo Fan, and Wen Muye.

Zhang Yibai dismissed the news, thinking that none of the four directors combined could beat him, and Huanxi Media was already helping Zhang Yibai prepare a new movie.

Galloping Horse also announced its new filming plan for next year. Xue Xiaolu will direct the romance film "I Want Us Together", with Zhu Yawen as the leading actor and Tang Wei as the leading actress. up".

Xue Xiaolu is good at romance films herself, and she is the same type of director as Zhang Yibai.Both "Yanjing Meets Seattle" and "Yanjing Meets Seattle: A Love Letter" directed by her performed well at the box office.

Zhang Yibai had just broken Xue Xiaolu's box office record for a domestic romance film. As a result, Zhang Yibai had just left Galloping Horse, and Galloping Horse signed the same type of director Xue Xiaolu after changing hands. Zheng Wentong's move was simply a slap in the face.

Zheng Wentong has watched the TV series "Daming Fenghua" starring Zhu Yawen and Tang Wei. The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji played by Zhu Yawen in the play and Sun Ruowei played by Tang Wei still have a sense of CP.Xue Xiaolu originally wanted Wu Xiubo and Tang Wei to continue their trio, but Zheng Wentong directly vetoed it.

The move of Galloping Horse to sign five new directors has stabilized the valuation of the company before going public. At present, Galloping Horse’s new films in 17 include "The Richest Man in Tomatoes" and "I Want Us Together". Now Zheng Wentong has a bit of a headache who will sing that The magic "burn my calories".
