Chapter 295 Watching him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests (asking for monthly tickets)
People like Jiang Wen should be beaten.

Lin Yicheng didn't take it to heart at all.

Don't talk about the current Jiang Wen. He is still the Jiang Wen who became famous again after filming "Let the Bullets Fly" and was praised to the sky by his fans, who wanted to apply for him to be listed as a world heritage.

Even at that time, he did not have the strength to challenge Lin Yicheng.

Not to mention, now, Jiang Wen’s biggest financial backer is so poor that he is almost penniless.

Without the support of the financial sponsor, is Jiang Wen going to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly"?
Who will invest in him?

In his previous life, Jiang Wen gained a group of die-hard and enthusiastic fans thanks to the "Beiyang Trilogy".

Even though "One Step Away" and "Hidden Man" are more mysterious and failed more than the last.

Even though Jiang Wen was ridiculed by many people, they said that his best work was teaching Quentin to say "awesome".

Those fans were persistent in finding various excuses for him and kept defending him.

When Jiang Wen's true face was completely exposed, those fans insisted on one sentence - "Jiang Wen said that the person he admires most is...", trying to confuse right and wrong and confuse the public.

Are people who worship ～～ necessarily good people? Are they necessarily straight?
There are so many people who admire ～～, so who does Jiang Wen think he is?

If you don’t believe it, go to Xiao Rizu now and ask some 60- or 70-year-old people.

When these people were young, they also worshipped fanatically~!

When it comes to a person, don't just look at what he says, look at what he does.

Especially the entertainment industry.

Many people speak better than they sing. Just by looking at his/her words, you would think that he/she is a saint.

Actually?
Full of thieves and prostitutes.

After many people have seen Jiang Wen's true colors, and then carefully dig into the "Beiyang Trilogy"...

You will find that some of the things expressed in it are really terrifying when you think about them carefully.

At 7:20 on July 0, Sina Weibo went online on time.

As the largest shareholder, Lin Yicheng also personally came out to make a call.

His Weibo name is just three words: Lin Yicheng.

Verifying the identity is even simpler, just two words: director.

There's nothing fancy about it.

[A new encounter starts here. I am Lin Yicheng, I am waiting for you on Weibo. ]

Such a simple sentence received hundreds of thousands of reposts, tens of thousands of comments and likes in just a few minutes.

This version of Sina Weibo is relatively simple and does not have any features like hot searches or super topics.

Lin Yicheng is not in a hurry to throw out these ideas.

After all, Weibo is a new thing in China and users need some time to understand and become familiar with it.

Making it too complicated at one time will undoubtedly raise the threshold and increase the difficulty for users to get started.

Do more harm than good.

Moreover, it won’t be long before Sohu will also come up with “Sohu Weibo”.

If we release the complete version of Sina Weibo now, wouldn't that just give Sohu an opportunity to copy our work?
It would be better to release a new feature every once in a while, so that Sina Weibo can only struggle to catch up.
-
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Yicheng woke up from Fan Xiaopang's bed. Just as he was about to get up, he was grabbed by an arm.

"Are you awake? Come, do some morning exercises first."

"I did it three times last night. I'm still not satisfied?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Look at what you said. Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. You ate yesterday, so you don't have to eat today?" Fat Fan said confidently.

Well, there is indeed something wrong with this.

More than an hour later.

Fat Fan was very sensible and lit a cigarette for Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng picked up the laptop on the bedside table and opened Weibo.

Take a closer look.

"Fuck me!"

Lin Yicheng was shocked.

Good guy.

So far, his Weibo post has been forwarded 1200 million times and received more than 600 million comments and likes.

The number of his fans has directly exceeded 10 million.

"Come on, look at mine."

Fat Fan urged in a tender voice.

Lin Yicheng clicked on Fan Xiaopang’s Weibo again.

Her name is "Fan Bingbing" and her certification information is "actor".

Lin Yicheng had already instructed Cao Guowei to prepare internal numbers for them in advance.

In this way, there is no possibility that their Weibo names can be registered by others.

Not only is the publishing time of Fan Xiaopang’s Weibo the same as Lin Yicheng’s, but even the content is very similar.

【Fate begins with meeting. I am Fan Bingbing, and I am glad to meet you on Weibo.】

Lin Yicheng could see through her secretive thoughts that she was trying to reveal something to the outside world.

However, Lin Yicheng didn't say anything.

After all, he couldn't give Fat Fan an official status.

As long as Fan Xiaopang doesn’t make any official announcement, it’s not a big deal at all.

With her intelligence, she wouldn't do such a thing.
-
This Weibo post by Fan Xiaopang has been forwarded over 700 million times, and received over 300 million comments and likes.

She has more than 500 million fans, almost half of Lin Yicheng's.

"No, why?"

Fat Fan pouted, looking a little depressed.

"I've been in this business for so many years, how come I'm so much worse than you?"

"What? You want more than me?" Lin Yicheng gave her an unpleasant look.

Isn’t it normal that a daughter is not as good as her father?
What’s the matter, you, Fatty Fan, still want to rebel against Tiangang?

Punishment must be punished.

"Hmm~"

Fat Fan let out a long, greasy nasal sound.

He grabbed Lin Yicheng's hand and didn't let him leave.

How can just one flick be enough?

At least you have to play a complete song!

"have to."

Lin Yicheng finally discovered that this method was not a punishment for Fan Xiaopang at all, but a reward!

"Hmm~ Could it be that, um~ they are trying to please you, um~ deliberately, um~ creating this data for you?"

Fan Xiaopang spoke in a disjointed manner.

After hearing what Fan Xiaopang said, Lin Yicheng began to have some doubts.

With his free hand, he took out his cell phone and called Cao Guowei to ask if the staff had done anything wrong.

However, Cao Guowei told him that the data was completely true and not a bit exaggerated.

At the end of the call, Cao Guowei also said that after Weibo went online, it had a few brief freezes due to too many registrations and visits.

Thanks to the programmers working overtime, the system was not completely shut down.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yicheng suddenly realized something.

It seems that he has always underestimated the number of his fans.

Although his blog often receives millions or even tens of millions of hits and views.

But that is different from the number of fans after all.

Now, Lin Yicheng has a general idea of ​​the number of his fans.

Just during this short phone call, his number of fans increased by more than 100,000.
-
The phone calls between Lin Yicheng and Cao Guowei were on loudspeaker mode.

Fat Fan also heard it.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with the fact that she didn’t have as many fans as Lin Yicheng.

Of course, your man must be stronger than you.

Her doubts just now were just the coquetry between lovers.

She knew too well how petty her man was.

As soon as she acted coquettishly, the reward came immediately.

This is Fan Xiaopang's unique little trick, or rather, this is the unique little romance between her and Lin Yicheng.

"Hmm~ Take another look, hmm~ Look at that girl Jing Tian~"

Fan Xiaopang hummed these words in a nasal tone.

Lin Yicheng's skills are still good.

Practice makes perfect.

Just now, he didn't miss once, and the lowest score he got was Good.

From time to time, Great and Perfect appear.

After playing the song, neither Lin Yicheng nor Fan Xiaopang were satisfied, it was just superficial.

Anyone who has played "QQ Xuan Wu" knows that this game actually has a hidden highest rating.

Call "My God"...

However, to reach this hidden score, players need to explore carefully.
-
While playing the show dance, Lin Yicheng opened Jing Tian’s Weibo.

Jing Tian’s Weibo account is just her name, and she is certified as an actress.

She also sent a message at 0 o'clock.

[Hello everyone, I am the new actor Jing Tian, ​​nice to meet you all (cute cute love love love)]

Well, it’s a very common sentence, nothing new.

"How much is she?"

Fat Fan was too weak to get up and go check it out himself, so he could only ask Lin Yicheng while humming.

"It has been forwarded more than 200 million times, with more than 100 million comments and likes, and more than 200 million fans," said Lin Yicheng.

"That's good."

Fan Xiaopang felt relieved immediately.

This is right.

For a young girl who just debuted, it is quite good to have such data.

Almost one-third of her.

So what if you are the queen or the first wife?
In this family, my status is indeed not as good as yours.

But in the audience's mind, you are still far worse than me!
After making this comparison, Fan Xiaopang felt very happy.

This beauty doesn't matter.

Fat Fan felt his breathing choke and his mind went blank.

"Yeah~"
-
Lin Yicheng continued to read Weibo.

He then clicked on the Weibo of other artists under "Galaxy".

Those artists had already received instructions.

No matter how famous you are, no matter how long you have been in the industry.

They all opened Sina Weibo accounts at the first opportunity and took practical actions to show their support for the big boss Lin Yicheng.

Some of these people have millions of fans, while others have hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of fans.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, the number of fans can directly indicate whether the artist is popular or famous.

Of course, this number of fans refers to the real number of fans.

Lin Yicheng knew that things like buying fans would definitely happen in the future and could not be stopped.

He had no objection to this.

Celebrity artists need a large number of fans to prove their popularity and value to the audience, film and television companies, and brand merchants.

Fans need the number of fans to prove to their rivals that their brother/sister is a popular actor/actress, so as to compete and show off.

Film and television companies need the number of fans to judge whether an actor is worth promoting and how much value he has.

Brand merchants also need the number of fans as a reference for finding spokespersons.

Weibo itself needs fans to maintain its activity and increase traffic, and to obtain actual commercial benefits as well as higher market value and stock price.

This is a huge chain of interests, which is intricate and interconnected.

However, although Lin Yicheng did not eliminate it, he did not do nothing either.

He once made a long list and gave it to Cao Guowei.

Lin Yicheng knows that there are problems with these people, but they have not revealed any problems yet, and the public does not know that they have problems either.

For these people, we need to limit their traffic and their fans.

Lin Yicheng was unwilling to punish without teaching.

However, Weibo will strictly monitor the accounts of these people internally.

Once any abnormality or error is found, the account will be shut down or blocked immediately.

Most of the people on the list are from the entertainment industry.
-
With Sina's various investments and promotions, coupled with the leading role of many entertainment stars and sports celebrities.

In addition, Weibo has many advantages such as simplicity and timeliness.

Driven by various favorable factors, the game was launched on July 7 and lasted until early September.

The number of registered users on Weibo has exceeded 1 million in one fell swoop.

Weibo, this new thing, has completely entered thousands of households and has become an indispensable destination for countless netizens.

The relatively open public opinion environment provides users with the opportunity to fully participate in public events.

Even though it took less than two months, many Weibo users have keenly discovered that their relationship with the world has rapidly become closer.

Even if they cannot write articles, they can easily express their opinions and make their own voices heard.

In the early days, news was all top-down, the throat was in the hands of the media, and the public could only accept it passively.

With the emergence of post bars, forums and blogs, this situation has changed somewhat, but it is still not enough.

Those posts that become popular either have good writing skills or good content, which is still a bit difficult for most ordinary users.

Now, with the emergence of Weibo, everything has begun to change.

The slogan "Go to Weibo and discover new things anytime and anywhere" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has been widely recognized.
-
The Internet is still in its wild growth period.

The content on Weibo is naturally varied and varied.

Anything.

You can basically find whatever you want to see.

Of course, with Lin Yicheng's reminder, some incorrect remarks and content will definitely not occur.

Cao Guowei came up with several ideas.

He recruited many Internet celebrities to Weibo.

For example, Mu Zimei, who once serialized her sex diary in Xici Hutong, and Sister Furong, who only wanted fame but not reputation.

For example, there are two leaders in the non-mainstream world: Cheng Lin, who is known as the number one beauty on the Internet and has become the dream lover of a non-mainstream generation; and Shen Ke, the original Internet celebrity in the mainland, who she says is second to none and whom no one dares to claim as the king.

For example, Despicable Mavis, who was highly respected by Warcraft players for his "Magic World" series of videos, and Back Dormitory Boy, who became popular on the Internet...

It can be said that Cao Guowei has at least caught most of the current Internet celebrities.

In this regard, Cao Guowei also specifically consulted Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng didn't object.

As long as Weibo does not cross the red line and does not make inappropriate or improper remarks, nothing else will be a problem.

During the period of wild growth, the most important thing is to grab land, users and market as quickly as possible.

Once the market is established and the situation is stable, it will not be too late to consider other things.
-
In September, Lin Yicheng dealt with something by the way.

His endorsement contracts with Nokia and Audi have expired.

Lin Yicheng has already informed these two companies in advance that he will no longer be their spokesperson.

Nokia and Audi also expressed their understanding.

Lin Yicheng is already a "billionaire", it really doesn't make sense for him to endorse their products.

Moreover, they didn't know what kind of endorsement fee they should pay to Lin Yicheng in the next contract.

After all, Lin Yicheng's situation was too unusual, and there was no other similar example to refer to.

So, let’s terminate the contract peacefully. It’s good for you, me and everyone.

This does not affect their relationship with Lin Yicheng, nor does it affect their cooperation with Xinghe Film and Television.

It's not just about termination of contract.

Lin Yicheng contacted the heads of the two companies and put forward suggestions.

Give the Audi endorsement to Fan Xiaopang.

Give the Nokia endorsement to Jing Tian.

The main point is that the wealth is kept within the family, and the emphasis is on fairness.

Nokia and Audi had eaten meat with Lin Yicheng many times, and they wanted to continue eating it. Of course, they would not offend Lin Yicheng, so they agreed readily.

Therefore, Fan Xiaopang signed a three-year contract with Audi, with annual endorsement fees of 550 million, 600 million, and 650 million respectively. After the three-year contract is completed, as long as the sales volume reaches the target, he will be rewarded with another 200 million in one lump sum.

This endorsement fee totaling 2000 million immediately caused an uproar after being officially announced by Audi.

Especially the female stars, their eyes were red with envy and jealousy.

This price is something that even the most popular female stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan have never been able to afford, let alone in the mainland.

Fan Xiaopang has become the veritable "Queen of Business".

Adding some other endorsements and advertisements, Fan Xiaopang’s endorsement fees alone amount to tens of millions a year!
This amount of money is something that many female celebrities cannot earn in their entire lifetime or even several lifetimes.

In other words, these female stars don’t know that Fan Xiaopang still holds a small stake in the HL brand.

Otherwise, they would have thought of raising funds to find someone to kill Fan Xiaopang.
-
Compared to Fan Xiaopang, Jing Tian's endorsement of Nokia is much less in terms of both years and amount.

Jingtian’s contract with Nokia is for two years, totaling 500 million.

After all, Jing Tian has only been famous for a short time, and her fame has not yet been completely consolidated.

The price of 500 million is considered high for her.

You know, the endorsement fee of Yang Mi, one of the newly-minted "Four Little Flowers", is about this level.

Nokia gave this contract entirely out of Lin Yicheng's consideration.

Jing Tian himself was quite open-minded and didn't care.

She herself is not short of money, and she doesn't have a very accurate concept of money.

Lin Yicheng got the contract for her, and she happily accepted it.

Jing Tian thought to herself that she would save the money for her future baby, or give it to Dachengzi when he needed money urgently.

Lin Yicheng had his reasons for only signing the contract for two years.

After all, these two years are considered Nokia’s last glorious years.

Although Nokia's sales in China still remain the leader thanks to its many collaborations with Lin Yicheng, it has surpassed South Korea's Samsung and other domestic brands.

But as long as they insist on developing the Symbian system and refuse to accept the open Android system.

The end is only a matter of time.

After Nokia's glory days, Jing Tian's contract also expired.

Nokia's subsequent decline naturally had nothing to do with her.
-
Speaking of which, Lin Yicheng had thought about finding Jing Tian or Fan Xiaopang to endorse domestic mobile phones or cars.

It’s just that it’s really hard to describe the current domestic mobile phones and domestic cars.

Take mobile phones for example.

The three giants that are most recognized by the general public are still Nokia, Motorola and Samsung.

This is really not worshipping foreign things.

Take the quality of Nokia mobile phones for example. How can those domestic mobile phones compare with them?

Those domestic mobile phones are now struggling in the cracks.

Companies like Bird and Jinli may be doing very well now.

But only after the tide goes out can you tell who is swimming naked.

VIVO and OPPO are not yet on the rise.

After searching for a while, Lin Yicheng still didn't know who to look for.

As we all know, domestic brands these days are indeed stingy when it comes to celebrity endorsement fees and are far less generous than foreign brands.

Let’s not talk about whether these brands can offer endorsement fees that match the net worth of Fan Xiaopang and Jing Tian.

The key is their quality...

Lin Yicheng doesn't want Fan Xiaopang and Jing Tian to get into trouble if something goes wrong because of endorsing these brands.

It’s not that Lin Yicheng doesn’t support domestic products, it’s just that sometimes domestic products don’t live up to expectations.

Lin Yicheng even had an urge to get a cell phone and a car for himself.

Think about it and forget it.

He is not Lei Bush.

He is still self-aware.
-
Time has unknowingly come to the end of September.

September 9th is just an ordinary day for ordinary people.

But for people in the entertainment industry, today is an extremely important day.

On this day, the Growth Enterprise Market Issuance Review Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued an announcement, approving the listing request of Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd.

Officially approved, Huayi Brothers, listed on October 10th.

This means that Huayi has become the first entertainment company in the mainland to be approved for a public offering of stocks.

It also means that the mainland film and television industry will enter a new pattern from now on.

It also means that a new batch of billionaires and multi-millionaires will be born in the circle.

On the same day, Huayi opened subscription on the Growth Enterprise Market.

The issue price per share is 24.58 yuan.

Because of Lin Yicheng's influence, the issue price of Huayi stock was a few dollars lower than in the previous life.

But it is not important.

What’s important is that its P/E ratio is as high as over 60 times!
Calculated at 24.58 yuan per share, Huayi has created nearly ten stars with a net worth of tens of millions - Feng Kuazi with a net worth of more than 8000 million, Zhang Da Huzi with a net worth of more than 6000 million, and Huang Xiaoming with a net worth of more than 5000 million.

There are also Luo Haiqiong, Ren Quan, Zhang Hanyu and others with more than 10 million.

A year ago, Boss Wang boasted to the outside world that he would “build China’s largest celebrity shareholding team”, and now it has really come true!
However, what was different from the previous life was that this time, not only did Mr. Zhou not buy the original shares in advance, but the sisters Li Bingbing and Li Xue did not buy them either.

The two sisters explained to Wang Da and Wang Xiao that they had just bought a house and made other investments. Although they really wanted to buy original shares and get rich with Wang Da and Wang Xiao, they had no money.

The two kings believed this explanation and didn't think much about it.

After all, in the impression of the two brothers, the elder sister is an honest person who abides by the law, and the younger sister is also a well-behaved and obedient person.

What bad intentions could these two people have?

Since I missed the opportunity to make a fortune, it doesn’t matter.

It just so happens that the sisters’ value cannot be raised, and they will still be playthings of the two brothers in the future.
-
On this day, Boss Wang, who rarely appeared in public, was in high spirits and spoke freely in front of the media cameras.

"As the leader and benchmark of the mainland film and television industry, Huayi will strictly demand ourselves with higher standards in the future."

“We also ask the audience and investors to keep their confidence in us. We will definitely live up to your trust and give back to the society, the audience and the shareholders who invested in us with better results.”

"After going public, we will further expand the scale of film and television production to achieve the goal of producing 6 films and 600 episodes of TV series per year."

“这6部电影中，4部是投资7000万人民币以上的大制作，1部投资3000万左右的中等制作，1部千万以下的小成本影片。”

"We will make money from these four blockbusters and improve the company's performance. As for the small and medium-cost films, they are mainly used for training. On the one hand, we will improve and optimize the types of films produced by the company, and on the other hand, we will improve the level of the company's cast and crew reserves."

"In terms of TV series, Huayi intends to go the high-quality route, with 600 episodes targeting the prime-time broadcast market and increasing the average investment cost per episode."

"The entire company is very confident about this goal. We have been preparing for this goal since three or four years ago, stockpiling scripts and honing the team."

"For example, Nanjing! Nanjing!, which was released during the National Day this year, is a work that has been in the making for more than five years. Painted Skin, which will be released at the end of October, is a masterpiece that has been in the making for seven years."

"I believe that these two films will be successful at the box office. They will not disappoint the audience in terms of word of mouth."
-
When the reporter asked about Huayi's reliance on Feng Kuazi, Wang Boss said without hesitation: "Xiaogang is indeed a banner of the company."

Then he added: "However, of course, the more flags, the better. In the future, we at Huayi will provide strong investment and support to other directors, especially new directors. We also welcome other directors to come to Huayi to discuss cooperation."

Then, Boss Wang added, "In addition, we have also put the construction of cinema chains on the agenda. In the near future, we will open six modern cinemas in five major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shancheng, Chengdu, and Fengtian."

“We hope to build a cinema chain that matches Huayi’s own film brand in four to five years.”

The reporter also asked whether the investment in cinemas was intended to make it easier for Huayi's films to be released.

Boss Wang laughed again, and his laugh was profound and pointed.

"If we are only doing this for Huayi's own release, then that would be underestimating us. The key is that Huayi must fully participate in the entire industry and build a complete industrial chain of our own."

"Before, because the industrial chain was not perfect, we often had to act according to other people's wishes. Even if we suffered losses and endured hardships, we had to swallow our anger."

"After all, we at Huayi value being kind to others and believe that harmony brings wealth."

"Compared to some of our peers who are promoting their products with great fanfare and want to make them known nationwide, we at Huayi are relatively low-key. So many people may not know that we are doing it."

"I believe that when our specific plans are announced next year, everyone will be very surprised."
-
Looking at Boss Wang on TV, who was full of confidence and exuded the aura of a successful person and a top boss, Lin Yicheng smiled.

Huayi's so-called heavy investment in movies and TV series is targeted at Galaxy Film and Television, which is currently walking on two legs.

What Boss Wang said about increasing investment in other directors in the future goes without saying.

Nowadays, the holy place in the minds of those unknown directors is Galaxy Film and Television.

The Wang brothers, of course, could not just sit there and watch "all the best talents in the world fall into the trap of Xinghe Film and Television".

As for "Nanjing! Nanjing!" and "Painted Skin", no matter whether it took five years or seven years to polish the sword, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.

Boss Wang's last words were directed directly at Xinghe Film and Television.

We were made difficult by Xinghe Film and Television in scheduling films. I feel bitter about it, but I won't say it.

Because we are role models and big brothers, we cannot argue with younger brothers.

Come and have a look, our big brother is so good and kind. Is there anyone better than us in the circle?
there is none left!
Why don't you come and watch our movies and TV series? Why don't you come and buy our stocks?

On the contrary, I don’t need to say much about the character of that little brother who always “bullies others by taking advantage of his power” on a daily basis, right?

You must keep your eyes open and don't be fooled by his appearance!

Lin Yicheng turned off the TV.

In my mind, I went over my plan again.

Sneering and muttering to himself.

"All is ready except for the opportunity."

"I saw him build a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, and I saw his building collapse."

(End of this chapter)
