Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 239 July Rebellion
Naturally, it was Meng Bai who had to break the awkwardness.

He calmly took his arm out of Li Yitong's arms, took a step forward, and said with a natural smile: "Why did Sister Ou come out?"

"Oh, go to the bathroom."

There were more people in the room closer to them, so she deliberately chose one that was farther away.

I didn't expect to run into this scene halfway.

Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Li Yitong pursed her lips and said quickly: "I, I'll go back first."

As she spoke, she and Wang Ou nodded, then turned to Meng Bai and silently mouthed "wait for me in the evening", then quickly walked back.

Meng Bai had no intention of staying and was about to say goodbye to Wang Ou, but unexpectedly he was stopped by the other party.

"Teacher Meng, I don't think I've heard much about the new projects of the 'Green Vine Series' this year?"

Wang Ou's bright eyes sparkled under the light.

"There were some problems before, but we have started preparations again recently." Meng Bai said.

"That's it..."

Wang Ou was a little curious about what went wrong, but since no one said anything, she thought it must be something internal to Arc Light, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"I don't know what the story is this time, but I've always been a big fan of the 'Green Ivy Series'."

After that, she continued, "I wonder if there is a role that I can be suitable for. I have always wanted to work with Teacher Meng again."

As an actor who became famous in his thirties, Wang Ou knows very well that resources are something that cannot be obtained without actively seeking them.

So whether it was the last "Shirley Yang" or this time's new project of Arc Light, she has been actively striving for it.

Looking at the mature and beautiful lady in front of him, Meng Bai smiled and said, "There will definitely be opportunities. There should be auditions for new projects in a while. Sister Ou can come and try then."

There is nothing suitable for Arc Light's next film, "Criminal Mind 2", but there is a second female forensic doctor role in "Day and Night" that is more suitable for her.

But his words were not final, he just said that you could give it a try.

Wang Ou is not Boss Li and the others, so Meng Bai will not rush to give him a role.

But for Wang Ou, just hearing that there was an opportunity was enough to satisfy him.

Mingyan's face lit up with a charming glow, and she smiled and said, "I don't know when it will start, I will prepare in advance."

Meng Bai did not answer this question, but asked: "I remember today is the end of the month, June 30th?"

Wang Ou didn't understand, but nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow will be July."

When Meng Bai heard this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry Sister Ou, don't worry, you will soon know when it starts."

"what?"
-
The "silent period" that Meng Bai had previously agreed upon with Boss Jia was until the end of June.

This agreement is very obvious, and the other party will definitely make a big move before this.

Sure enough, in early June, Leshi.com announced that its acquisition of LeTV Pictures had officially entered the substantive stage, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission also issued an announcement stating that it would supervise this "6 billion merger and acquisition case."

At the same time, Leshi.com's stock, which had been suspended for half a year, announced its resumption of trading and restarted secondary market trading.

During the call auction on the first day of resumption, 20 sell orders locked the price of Leshi.com at the lower limit. But with the official opening, a huge influx of funds forcibly opened the lower limit.

In the following month, various good news continued to be released, and Leshi.com's stock price also rose against the market trend and returned to the 100 yuan level.

Although it cannot be compared with the peak period in the middle of last year, it is already very good considering the current downward trend of the entire market.

All investors of Leshi.com, big or small, were beaming with joy.

Although the profit is not much at the moment, it is much better than losing money outside.

It is said that human happiness depends entirely on comparison.

Unfortunately, happy times always pass by so quickly. In the midst of all the singing and dancing, June came to an end.

Meng Bai has always been a man who keeps his promises. He said he would remain silent until the end of June, and not a day less.

Likewise, one more day won’t do.

July 1st, Friday, is the last trading day of the week.

At 0.1: in the morning, the stock market opened and Leshi.com's share price opened % higher, which is almost one cent.

Just when the stock investors who were slacking off at work thought that today was another day of making a fortune, the candlestick chart suddenly slid downward and fell below the opening price.

Immediately afterwards, before anyone could react, the share price of Leshi.com plummeted, from +0.1 to -7.9, a drop of eight percentage points.

The stock investors were completely confused. Is there some big boss cashing out and running away? How come a "Soul-Breaking Sword" suddenly appeared?
Looking at the data, there is no change in the fundamentals, and there are no large sell orders on the capital side, so the only problem is the news.

Sure enough, not long after, someone forwarded a message to the discussion area.

[Arc-Light Films announced that it will terminate its cooperation with Leshi.com due to serious differences in strategic planning and project creation. After friendly negotiations between the two parties, the "Green Ivy Series" IP and related authorizations for subsequent projects will all be transferred to Arc-Light Films for independent responsibility. 】

Oh shit! ArcLight and Leshi.com have "broken up"!

Not only shareholders and investors, but the entire industry was shocked.

For a long time, the combination of "ArcGuang Film and Television Content Production + Leshi.com Channel Platform" has firmly occupied the top spot in the online drama market.

The scene of "Forensic Qin Ming" topping the "2015 Online Drama Champion" is still fresh in our minds. I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few months, the two families have separated.

But then again, in business cooperation, it is normal to break up and get back together.

For ArcLight Pictures, the impact is actually not that big.

The "Criminal Investigation Universe" derived from the "Green Ivy Series" has become the top IP for criminal investigation and suspense online dramas in the past two years.

Without Leshi.com, many video platforms are scrambling to cooperate with it.

This is indeed the case. Just the day after the "breakup announcement" was released, ArcLight Pictures' official Weibo account released a series of new messages.

[The summer movie "Detective Chinatown" will be incorporated into the "Green Ivy Detective Universe." ]

[The new project of the "Green Ivy Series" "Psychological Crime 2" has been officially launched, with Tencent Video as the cooperation platform, and is positioned as S-level. ]

[The new project of the "Green Ivy Series" "Day and Night Chase" has been officially launched, with the cooperation platform being Qiyi TV, and positioned at S+ level. ]

As for the two web drama projects, everyone can still understand them, but what the hell is this movie that suddenly popped up?

Many people began searching for information about "Detective Chinatown".

Upon checking, I found out that this is the movie that became a hot topic during the Spring Festival because of director Chen Sicheng’s "cheating incident".

Looking at the screenwriter column again, as expected, it is "Meng Bai" who has no rivals in the field of suspense film and television in recent years.

With the support of Meng Bai's script and the fact that it was the first film project in the "Green Ivy Series", the popularity and search volume of "Detective Chinatown 3" soared.

Chen Zhixi, Chen Sicheng and the producers were very happy as they could save a lot of publicity costs.

The scenery on Arclight Films' side is more beautiful, but the scenery on Leshi.com's side is a bit gloomy.

There are all kinds of gossips in the market, such as "funding shortage", "running away early", "big store bullying customers", "big customers bullying the store"...

True and false news are everywhere.

Fortunately, Leshi.com was well prepared for this situation.

On the one hand, they issued a statement to refute the rumor, saying that the two companies stopped cooperating only because of different cooperation concepts, and on the other hand, they stated that the website has many other high-quality partners.

At the same time, it also gave the new dramas that will be aired in the second half of the year to show that it has sufficient content reserves.

The actual situation of the announced projects is unclear, but at least the stock price has stabilized temporarily.

After all, with the annual hit drama "Go Princess Go", the market will not completely lose confidence in Leshi.com.

However, many people still called Meng Bai to ask if there was any inside information.

For example, Huang Xiaoming, who is also one of the star shareholders of Leshi.com, has invested nearly 2000 million yuan in total.

Then there is Nini, this girl also invested some money in venture capital before. Although it is not much, it is several million.

Regarding Huang Xiaoming and others, Meng Bai directly stated that the reason for stopping the cooperation was for ArcLight to have greater development and he did not want to be tied to one platform.

This reason sounded straightforward, but it immediately convinced everyone.

Or to be more precise, they are willing to believe this answer.

As for Nini, Meng Bai hinted that there might be some problems with Leshi.com, and it would be best to find an opportunity to escape if possible.

After all, they had cooperated for a while, so he wouldn't just deny it.

As for whether the girl listened or not, that was her own business and Meng Bai didn't bother to care.

He has to go find his "true partner" Teacher Li.
