Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 652 The Three Yangs' Melee
Wolf Warrior 2 is still rising in value, and Autumn Pictures' stock price is still rising!
7号晚9点25分，上映12天的《战狼2》票房达35亿，成功超越《美人鱼》，成为新的影史冠军。

In contrast, Autumn Pictures' stock price has risen by 56% since the release of "Wolf Warrior 2," with the highest increase exceeding 66% during the period, pushing the company back above the 800 billion mark!
The film's other production companies, such as Vantone, Guangxian, and China Film Group, also saw encouraging gains.

What is a wealth myth? This is a wealth myth.

In just 12 days, Autumn Pictures' market value surged by nearly 300 billion!
It was already such a grand spectacle when it was launched two years ago in the fall.

This is certainly a bubble, but some ordinary stock investors and viewers feel that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is far more than this, and the stock price of Autumn Pictures is also far more than this.

Unfortunately, the listing in Hong Kong in the fall made it inconvenient for mainland investors to buy, but the surge in prices still attracted many mainland retail investors to buy in.

However, some institutions and individuals who entered the market earlier have already begun to cash out at high prices.

For example, the 143 million shares that Yang Mi held on behalf of someone were all sold off in the past two days at an average price of 40.2 yuan, netting her over 5700 million yuan. What happened to these funds is unknown.

Yang Mi herself held onto her 110 million shares, not because she felt it was her friend's company's stock and that holding onto it a little longer would be fair to her friend, but simply because she felt the stock price in the fall hadn't peaked yet, and she wanted to make a quick profit by exiting at the highest point.

She's currently filming "Legend of Fuyao" in Hengdian. In her spare time, she checks stock apps. She thinks the stock price will rise to 50 yuan in the fall, and she can sell it when it reaches 48 or 49 yuan.

Why is it 50 yuan?
There's no reason why, it's just a woman's intuition.

However, most of the other celebrity shareholders in Autumn Film couldn't hold back any longer. In the past two years, the entire film and media stock market has been in a slump, and celebrity shareholders couldn't find a good opportunity to reduce their holdings and make profits. Now that Autumn Film is climbing to new heights, when else would they make money if not now?

These celebrity shareholders hold anywhere from hundreds of thousands to over a million shares. In addition, there is the withdrawal of some institutional funds. For example, on the 7th, a certain securities company, together with its three branches, sold off 2.7 million yuan worth of shares.

A large amount of capital fled, which turned Autumn Pictures into a negative news, and the stock price fell as soon as it opened the next day.

This is actually quite understandable. The recent short-term surge in stock price has been too large, accumulating significant risks. At the same time, the film industry is a high-risk sector with little sustainability, and the phenomenal success of "Wolf Warrior 2" is, in fact, somewhat accidental. Although the box office may continue to rise sharply, and Autumn Pictures' performance will become even more impressive, "Wolf Warrior 2" lacks sustainability, so it is reasonable for investors to choose to take profits.

All of the above are normal transactions, and Autumn Pictures does not intend to respond to them.

Some of the company's employees also profited handsomely from the surge in stock price, and some colleagues have already started thinking about buying new cars.

Li Qiutang has no time to pay attention to so many things. How much her net worth has increased is just a number; it's all just empty talk if you can't produce tangible results.

The underground scenes of "The Wandering Earth" have all been filmed, and now they are continuing to film the surface scenes.

He's now hoping that Wu Jing can come to the film set soon to help him finish his scenes.

Because Li Qiutang secured Wu Jing's remaining schedule, Wu Jing was going to have minor leg surgery after finishing the promotion for "Wolf Warrior 2." It wasn't serious, but he would need to use crutches for a while. Li Qiutang wanted to finish filming his scenes before his surgery.

"Director, Jing is scolding those young heartthrobs again." During dinner, his assistant showed him news about Wu Jing and "Wolf Warrior 2" on his phone.

Wu Jing seems to have gotten a bit addicted to criticizing young male celebrities these past few days, seizing every opportunity to give them a piece of his mind.

This time, it was said that the role of Zhuo Yifan was not originally intended for Zhang Han, but for another popular young actor. Wu Jing was not afraid of being laughed at, saying that he also knew that young actors could make money, so he wanted to find one to fill the role.

But that young actor's salary was far too high, exceeding the production team's budget by more than ten times!
Finally, Zhang Han saw the script for "Wolf Warrior 2" and felt that he could play the role of the rich second-generation, so he volunteered.

Oh no! Following the replacement of the original female lead, Lu Jingshan, with a more affordable option, another well-known young actor in the industry has turned down a role in "Wolf Warrior 2" by demanding an exorbitant price, missing out on a chance to become a breakout star. This has also become a hot topic of discussion among viewers.

So here's the question: who is this unlucky young heartthrob?

Many people guessed it was an electric eel because the rich second-generation character in the play was named Zhuo Yifan, which inevitably made people think of him.

"Director, do you know who that young heartthrob is?"

“I know,” Li Qiutang said with a smile, “but I can’t tell you.”

Even if it really is an electric eel, so what? Collaboration falling through is very normal in the industry; it's just a pity he missed out on "Wolf Warrior 2." They might not have wanted to make the film, and asking for an exorbitant price was likely a way to discourage the production team.

Li Qiutang has met actors who genuinely wanted to play roles, and those actors were truly willing to compromise.

"You're so boring." Unable to get an answer from Li Qiutang, the assistant felt disappointed.

Under the iron heel of "Wolf Warrior 2", all the movies in early August were reduced to background, but there is one background that is worth talking about.

"Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" starring Yang Ying and Yang Yang.

Yang Ying and Yang Yang's combined viewership was indeed top-tier, achieving a remarkable 1.65 million views on the first day.

However, something incredibly absurd happened during the promotion of this film.

The two Yangs fought over the billing order.

In this kind of situation, the two lead actors certainly wouldn't get involved personally; the battle would definitely start from their respective fan groups.

Yang Yang's fans say that Yang Ying is a variety show personality and not an actress at all, so of course she can't be the lead actress.

Yang Ying's fans believe that the original novel is a female-oriented novel, so the female lead should naturally be the lead actress. They have never heard of a male lead being the lead actress in a female-oriented novel.

In a typical film crew, the usual practice is to put one actor first in the opening credits and another second in the opening credits, and then switch them at the end of the credits.

By not offending either side, the artist's side can't find fault, and everyone can get by.

But Ahri is no ordinary company; Ahri chooses the strategy with the most bullet comments.

Drag Yang Mi into this mess!

The Three Yangs in a chaotic brawl!
The saying "After Yang Mi, there is no Bai Qian" is enough to prove how powerful Yang Mi's fans are.

Yang Mi's fans have no grudge against Yang Yang, so all their attacks and insults are directed at Yang Ying.

"I've seen the movie, and I'm even more convinced that there's no Bai Qian after Yang Mi."

"Yang Ying's performance made Yang Yang look like an artist."

You would never guess how brilliant the person who came up with this marketing plan is!
The movie "Once Upon a Time" generated a lot of buzz, and it was fortunate that "Wolf Warrior 2" overshadowed it, otherwise August would have been dominated by this movie's trending topics.

Not content with dragging Yang Mi into the mess, Ali also mentioned Liu Yifei.

During the film's promotion, possibly due to dissatisfaction with the dispute over billing order, an executive of Ali (the company behind Ali) responded to netizens' comments on Weibo, saying, "If we had fought hard against Liu Yifei back then, none of this trouble would have happened."

There are people within Ali who want to make good films and strongly disapprove of prioritizing viewership over audience reach.

Liu Yifei, of course, wouldn't respond; this film had nothing to do with her from beginning to end.

Even the fans remained rational, no matter what you say, they only watched the three Yangs' chaotic battle and never got involved.

"Yifei, the 'Mulan' production team wants you to go again tomorrow for a second audition."

"it is good."
