Chapter 893 Terms of the first round of financing, starting at 38 billion!

The helicopter slowly landed at the crew station on the bank of the Mekong River. After a while, Lin Nan took off his headphones and stepped down.

This scene has been filmed for nearly five days. As of this morning, when the camera was turned off and rested, the last third of the scene was filmed.

I can only say that the scene on the Mekong River was indeed very slow and tiring to shoot, but this scene was also the most exciting and exciting climax in the end.

"Director Lin, the crew is preparing a barbecue for noon today."

From a distance, Li Bingbing was waving. Today is also the day she leaves the group.

"Have a drink later to celebrate the official completion of your scene."

"That one glass is not enough, at least one bottle, right? Haha..."

Hear At these words, Lin Nan could only smile and say nothing; among the big stars, especially the four-dan Shuang Bing, there was no one who was not a "drinking heroine"!

Of course, this is also a rotten industry culture, but it cannot be changed at all.

The crew station made up of more than twenty camouflage tents looks like a picnic atmosphere;

And the catering team accompanying the crew is indeed having an outdoor barbecue. All members of the crew gathered around in twos and threes, talking and laughing. So lively.

"Lin Nan, come and sit here."

Ning Hao patted the seat next to him and greeted Lin Nan. He had just sat down for two minutes; the person at the same table was They are Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing and Zhu Yawen.

“If everything goes well, you can sacrifice and finish tomorrow!”

Lin Nan glanced at Lao Zhu and joked.

Zhu Yawen didn't care, so she opened a bottle of beer and borrowed it from the donkey down the slope: "I wish I could leave early. Mosquito bites are killing me these days."

" Then I'll help you and make the scene of your sacrifice more tragic." Ning Hao picked up the cup and joked.

While a few people were talking, the catering team was already serving tables one by one, mainly seafood and beef, with a fruit buffet on the side.

"Tudou is holding a financing dinner tonight. Why don't you look excited at all?" Ning Hao and Lin Nan clinked glasses.

"I'm so exhausted from filming that I can't get excited."

Lin Nan said truthfully. Fortunately, the people at Jindun blocked all the official media who wanted to visit the crew, otherwise they would have been even more tired.

"Come and celebrate the completion of the lead female role."

"Happy completion!"

"Thank you everyone. When the crew officially wraps up, we will meet again in the capital. ”

Li Bingbing was not polite, smiled, picked up the whole bottle of beer and drank with several people. This was also a rare occasion to deepen personal connections.

"How about I change the wine bar for you?"

"No, no, no, everyone is the same."

At the same time, in the capital, Lin Nan Films.

Liu Yifei was sitting in Director Lin's office, with a dazzling array of lunches on the desk in front of her; while Shu Chang was sitting on an office chair, eating together.

Placed on the table with lunch were two scripts, with the same eight words on the front page: "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

“Take a copy back and read it first. The review of this kind of script will be very slow, basically more than one and a half months, so there is no rush.

As for the casting matter When Lin Nan comes back, let him help us choose. We don’t know many actors in the industry."

Liu Yifei was talking to Shu Chang while eating. She really can't do the casting thing, and the same goes for Hongxingwu. Fortunately, Jiang Yuerou will also help check it.

Shu Chang nodded with a smile and said very confidently:

"Well, don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else. In terms of acting skills, I am much better than that Yang Mi! What's more, this is a TV series, and I am a young and experienced actor!"

For Shu Liu Yifei has no doubts about what she advocates;

Because her best friend is already very strong, she has starred in as many hit TV series as her, and she is also a great beauty in terms of appearance, and her national popularity is even higher. .

"Then let's look forward to your second vixen. In addition, Hongxingwu will submit the script for review in the next few days and publicly approve the project for this TV series..."

While Liu Yifei spoke, Shu Chang took advantage of her unpreparedness and snatched the last prawn from her bowl in an instant, making the latter angry immediately:

"Sissi, you have gone too far. You have eaten so much that your butt is full length!"

…………

Since noon, many industry leaders have arrived at the Capital Airport one after another. .

Compared to stars in the film and television entertainment industry, these people are undoubtedly very low-key.

In just a few days, Ren Zhonglun arrived in Beijing for the second time. This time he came for the dinner in the evening.

Since June this year, Shanghai Film Group's Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. has also begun its financing and listing journey, and has gone through two rounds so far.

Unlike China Film Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Film Group Co., Ltd., which maintains a low-key financing and strictly issues "tickets," Shanghai Film Film Co., Ltd. appears to be more courageous.

After two rounds of financing, the list of shareholders that has been determined is dominated by capital and filmmakers from the film and television industry, supplemented by a small number of financial institutions, and even some actors and stars have received "ordinary tickets" , a “minimum number” of original shares can be purchased.

After such a comparison, Shanghai Film Movies is naturally very powerful!

“At the Magic City International Film Festival, I invited Lin Nan to attend our financing dinner. Although he was present, he refused... I hope this time will be a good result. After all, it is a state-owned enterprise. Shareholders can provide a lot of conveniences to listed companies! ”

Ren Zhonglun was sitting in the car talking to his secretary.

What a recognized high-quality company needs for financing is actually not money... His only worry is about China Film, because the two state-owned enterprises belong to the same industry and type, so there is bound to be competition, and the first round of financing It will definitely not introduce China Film and Shanghai Film at the same time.

The secretary in the co-pilot knew what his boss was thinking. Hearing this, he immediately agreed: "Our Shanghai Film Academy does not have as many rules and regulations as China Film Academy, which is what companies prefer."

"Well, this Well said.”

Facing Ren Zhonglun’s compliment, the secretary smiled on his face, but in his heart it was not the same;

From the perspective of his "bystander": the two words "state-owned enterprises" are not 100% advantageous, and sometimes they may be disadvantages...

...

Afternoon, The news that first attracted the attention of the film industry was not from the mainland, but from Hong Kong Island.

"Produced and supervised by director Chen Kexin, director Chen Kexin's We Production Co., Ltd. is the main control investment, Hong Kong Island Geek Pictures, Xingmei Chairman Qin Hong's Jiaying Pictures, and Alibaba Pictures "July and Ansheng", a literary film adapted from the novel of the same name, has been officially approved. "

"It is reported that the film will be directed by Eric Tsang, the son of Hong Kong star Eric Tsang, which is his first independent directorship. Film director... The two leading roles in the film have been confirmed to be played by mainland actors Ma Chun and Zhou Dongyu..."

"Director Chen Kexin said in an interview that Hong Kong filmmakers and production teams will do their best to cultivate the new generation of film directors in Hong Kong..."

In this way, a piece of film information spread in the film industry;

The great director of literary and artistic films personally produces and supervises the production, and has a top-notch production team. Although the director is directing independently for the first time, he has co-directed films many times, and was also nominated for the Golden Horse Best New Director Award... The entire Hong Kong High-quality film projects supported by the island film circle to "train" the next generation of directors...

Based on all the above characteristics, countless actors and agents have concluded:

This is the top quality film project Cake, and fully meets all the prerequisites for winning a prize.

Especially in terms of winning awards, this film has the support of the entire Hong Kong community. There is no doubt that the Hong Kong community is very united in helping the "heirs", and Nicholas Tse is an example!

Taiyang Chuanhe.

When the news of the project of "July and Ansheng" was officially made public, it was the first time for everyone in the company to congratulate Zhou Dongyu;

Because at this moment, she was considered a Completely settled.

However, while the agent congratulated her, he couldn’t help but mention her:

"The movie will start shooting at the beginning of next month, which will only take a week. After you join the team, you must not only have a good relationship with Director Chen and Director Zeng, but you must also have a good relationship with your co-star Ma Chun.

Needless to say, the former is a big shot in the Hong Kong circle; the latter is director Gu Changwei’s niece, a princess in the northwest circle, and her connections are as you can imagine...

Although you debuted as a girl, But you are not from the Northwest Circle. The only girl who can speak in that circle is Gong Li... You must remember."

"The Princess of the Northwest Circle...so she can just talk and laugh without auditioning. If you laugh, you will get the role..."

There was no smile on Zhou Dongyu's face, and he even had some strange emotions, "I know, we will build a good relationship on the set."

"Before you speak and do things, think more than you think. Just like the last time we recorded "Extreme Challenge", don't let this happen again. Even if you think so in your heart, you can't show it, you know?" the manager warned again. road.

‘Well, I understand. ’

……

The crew of "Operation Mekong" landed with a "click", announcing that the afternoon filming was over.

The second male lead played by Zhu Yawen has obviously been determined to die since he avenged his girlfriend;

As long as the film starts tomorrow, this character can collide with the captain of the private army and die together, and then the film will be completed.

"As long as Brother Hanyu's leading male character can survive to the end, the rest of us have to die and exit."

Zhu Yawen held a bottle of mineral water. , joked to himself.

“The theme of the happy ending is too false. We are adapting a real case, so we have to show the cruel parts. Didn’t you see that all the ‘military dogs’ were sacrificed?” Lin Nan smiled. said.

The next second, I saw the German shepherd who had just been brought into the car. He immediately turned around and barked at Director Lin twice, which was very appropriate for the occasion. Everyone in the crew burst into laughter.

"Haha...it's asking: Director Lin, why are you calling me? Isn't it finished?"

"Hey, Zhu Yawen, when did you understand dog language, or are you just a dog? Prosperity?" Lin Nan immediately replied, "I can't handle you anymore, little guy."

"I am your uncle."

"Haha, let him finish a few more times tomorrow, it will be contrary to heaven." Ning Hao fanned the flames.

“Good idea, adopt it!”

…………

It’s past seven o’clock in the evening.

A large number of media gathered outside the China World Hotel, but they could not get in because the venue was booked.

The luxury cars outside are arriving one by one in an endless stream.

Nearly a hundred security personnel were on site to prevent any media reporters from approaching these vehicles and the people getting out of the vehicles.

Of course, quite a few of the people who got out of these luxury cars brought assistants as well as their own personal bodyguards.

“This scene is really big!”

“Is that the vice president of Penguin?”

“Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital, SoftBank...” 
“One of Ali’s second-in-commands just went in.”

"Zhang Zhao from LeTV, Yu Dong from Bona, Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, Qin Hong from Xingmei..." "ICBC, CCB, China Merchants... HSBC... Morgan Stanley..."

"Director La from China Film, Director Ren from Shanghai Film... Holy shit, is this Poly?"

"Director Wang from Guangguang is here!"

"People from Wanda are also here. .”

"It's Director Cao from Weibo."

"Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu!"

"Is this... someone from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

...... 
All the media reporters were chattering excitedly outside, and the cameras in their hands never stopped. The cameras were full of capital and big guys!

Among journalists, it is rare to find many professional media people, such as financial reporters.

At this moment, the banquet hall of the Guomao Hotel, which is more than 2,000 square meters, is brightly lit and extremely lively.

There is an endless supply of food and wine, and even the waiters are all tall and beautiful.

Tonight, this is a business dinner for the upper class, high-end, luxurious, and full of big shots.

At a glance, people from the financial industry, the Internet industry, and the film and television industry are all gathered into small groups, laughing and socializing, without exception.

"Director Lin Nan really didn't come tonight? No representative?"

The president of a branch of ICBC asked Wang Changtian with a smile. The accounts of Lin Nan Pictures are at ICBC.

“Lin Nan’s job is a film director, and of course the crew is the most important.”

While Wang Changtian answered, he clinked glasses with the foreigner from IDG Capital, whom he had dealt with before. .

At the same time, Penguin and Ali's people hate each other.

"You guys are so heartless that you just swallowed Youku, and you immediately came here to make plans?"

"If Ali doesn't do it, it won't be done. Once it's done, it must be done. to be the largest in the industry; as our Chairman Ma said, Alibaba wants to subvert the industry, reform the industry, and lead the industry..."

Although they are both Internet companies, Penguin's senior vice president still feels that the other party is too "devious" "Yes. Still subversive? Ali will have to be dealt with sooner or later! The situation is worse than when my house was cleared!

People are still entering the venue one after another.

Dong Ping led Xu Zheng in; Huang Xiaoming, Ren Quan, Zhao Si and others were here purely for socializing.

When Wang Changtian saw Ye Ning chatting with Wang Zhonglei there, he felt very puzzled, but he didn't think much about it.

"Sure enough, basically they are communicating with people in the same industry but not with the same industry, competitors."

Wang Changtian smiled and sighed, the scene on the field at this time was really... Very interesting.

"How are Mr. Wang's preparations going?"

Wang Changtian asked directly as he caught a potato executive.

Although there were so many people at the scene talking and laughing with glasses of wine, they were actually waiting for Wang Wei, and basically no one touched the delicacies.

"Director Wang, Mr. Wang is still preparing at the back and will be out in about twenty minutes."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian understood that this was going to be stuck at half past eight. Show up at the right time.

Many people around me also heard it, and they immediately knew what was going on.

Wang Wei is indeed in the hotel room, but he is not preparing anything. What should be prepared has already been prepared. He is currently on a video call with Lin Nan.

"I was supposed to call my producer Liu, but I ended up calling you out of nowhere. It seems that I still can't do anything without caring about the financing dinner, haha..."

"Then do you want to call me? Director Lin will do a real-time broadcast? Just turn on the video?"

Wang Wei made a joke, if it were him, he would definitely come in person. So Lin Nan is already very powerful!

“That’s not necessary, let’s talk about the business. You will make it clear to everyone in a moment. There are only those in the first round, as well as our conditions and the bottom line of valuation...”
 Lin Nan talked nonchalantly to save herself from trouble later.

At 8:29, Wang Wei stuck to the time and walked into the banquet hall with four Tudou executives and assistants.

There were more than 300 guests and assistants in the audience. At this moment, everyone turned their eyes over.

“Mr. Wang, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Mr. Wang, long time no see.”

“Tudou has finally reached this step again. Congratulations to Mr. Wang. ”

...

The greetings came and went, making the banquet hall instantly noisy. Fortunately, the venue was large enough so that it would not make people feel irritated.

Wang Wei walked onto the stage with a smile on his face. He even saw some old faces, those who invested in potatoes five years ago. Now they really feel like things are changing.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning have come to the front, and everyone is looking at Wang Wei on the stage with eager eyes, about to start.

Sure enough.

“Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Tudou’s first round of financing dinner. For us, time is money, so I won’t waste my words.

Believe in Tudou’s Everyone has investigated the specific situation in detail before coming here tonight, especially friends from the financial industry and the Internet industry..."

The scene was extremely quiet, everyone was waiting for Wang Wei's next words. .

"Tudou.com's first round of financing was unanimously approved by the company's board of directors, and the proportion of shares available for financing is 10%..."

When the number "10%" was used by Wang Wei When the words came out from the microphone, everyone present was in high spirits.

This share is not large, even compared to other companies with Internet attributes, it is very small!

But this just shows the potential and high quality of Tudou. It has no shortage of funds. The original shareholders are not willing to let too many people enter the market. They are full of confidence in Tudou.

Wang Wei continued, but his next sentence poured a bowl of cold water on the eager capital investors.

“...these 10% shares, once raised, will automatically be converted into Class A shares...if there is a second round of financing, the same will apply.”

“Dual-class share structure ?”

"Tudou wants to implement AB shares?"

"Isn't this too domineering for the new shareholders?"

"So confident!"

......

As Wang Wei’s words came to light, there were many objections;

But most people keep quiet, especially in the Internet industry, because most of their listed companies are AB shares.

“In order to ensure the company’s stable development after listing, Tudou has reached an agreement with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market with a dual-class share structure model...to avoid the situation like Youku, where one pigeon takes over the magpie’s nest. !”

Many people at the scene looked at Alibaba’s second-in-command, intentionally or unintentionally. Is this a call to arms in person?

Following basic etiquette, the latter still kept smiling and said nothing, but others could not tell what was going on in his heart.

The scene was full of foxes, and many people had already made some vague guesses. In other words, Ali is a little hung up.

Wang Wei didn't pay much attention to everyone's reaction, but Wang Changtian was happy to watch the excitement, while Ye Ning was serious. He did not leak the details of Tudou's financing. This was his last act of conduct.

“Everyone, although Tudou needs financing, it is actually not short of funds... So the funds we can provide are only the lowest entry threshold. Whether we can get a share depends on the additional resources we can provide for Tudou. Resources...”

Wang Wei’s words made everyone have to face it.

When other companies raise funds, most of them are looking for capital. But when it comes to Tudou, it's the other way around. It's Tudou who is picky! But this is also Tudou’s confidence. It is reality and no one thinks it is wrong.

"Additional resources?"

An additional resource immediately gave up the idea of many capital parties; these people only have money and no other resources, especially those in the film and television industry.

Yu Dong, Zhang Zhao, Wang Zhonglei and others are getting darker and darker each time. What resources do they have? They have it, Lin Nan Pictures, Enlight, Wanda have it, and even more!

State-owned enterprises such as La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and Poly are still waiting and watching. Their resource is the system!

"Mr. Wang, let's talk about valuation."

Penguin's senior vice president said with a smile, already having a plan in mind. Home, there is traffic!

Wang Wei nodded, and everyone at the scene immediately focused their attention, wanting to hear Tudou's first-round market value quotation.

“Tudou is the largest owner of film and television copyrights on the entire Internet. We have been hoarding film and television copyrights in large quantities since 5 years ago, especially the copyrights of old dramas and old movies. Basically, they are all here with us. These are Tudou. assets..."

Wang Wei paused, glanced at everyone, and then said calmly:

"Tudou's first round of external financing, we positioned our market value It starts at 38 billion and plans to accept 1 to 3 new shareholders;

You can send your respective quotations, corresponding shares, and additional resources to Tudou in the form of emails or documents tomorrow and the next two days;

We will consider and consider, then make decisions and docking, and announce the final financing results and new shareholder information no later than the 1st of next month, that is, one week later.

Everyone, 38 billion is just the starting point... you can pay a premium! "

Wang Wei smiled and said the last sentence, feeling extremely happy. Although this sentence was said to everyone in public, it was also said to the senior vice president of Penguin!

10% of the shares cannot only be returned to 3.8 billion.

The dinner party officially started, but most of the capital parties were a little absent-minded while socializing.

Tonight, Tudou’s “financing terms” must be reported back as soon as possible, and a meeting must be held to discuss, discuss, and make decisions.

"Wang Changtian is really tight-lipped. I have to go find Lin Nan to see if I can get it from him..."

Ren Zhonglun glanced at La Peikang, I muttered in my heart. The latter was chatting with Zhang Zhao from LeTV about something, it seemed, about "The Great Wall".

......

"Mr. Wang, Alibaba's influence is its resources. We have our presence and subsidiaries in all walks of life. The interoperability of Tudou and Youku can even achieve The whole industry...Long...One word..."

While Wang Weifeng was talking to someone from HSBC, he saw Ali's second-in-command walking over, his arrogant tone really indescribable.

"Then I look forward to seeing Ali's 'quotation document' tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Wang Wei said perfunctorily.
