This director lacks vision.

Chapter 415 Yang Mi: My greatest enemy is you!
Seeing how sensible Chen Yao was, Gao Yuanyuan nodded in satisfaction. She smiled and said to Jiang Yifeng, "I've invited Xiaoxiao to dinner tonight. Why don't you come too?"

After so much time and effort spent actively befriending them, Li Yunxiao has become good friends with Gao Yuanyuan and Nazha.

After all, neither Gao Yuanyuan nor Nazar are the kind of people who are hard-hearted.

Li Yunxiao has a sweet tongue and is very good at handling things. They rejected her many times, but eventually they felt embarrassed and slowly started to have contact with her again.

Besides Gao Yuanyuan and Nazha, Li Yunxiao also has a good relationship with Jing Tian.

Both women now live in the Shou Chuang Tian Xi residential complex; they are actually neighbors across the hall.

Li Yunxiao took the initiative to visit her a few times, and Da Tiantian accepted this new friend.

Just when everyone thought Li Yunxiao was going to make great strides and continue to win over Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, hoping to join the harem as soon as possible, Li Yunxiao suddenly stopped.

This surprised not only the seven women in the harem, but even Jiang Yifeng himself.

Li Yunxiao's answer was that she only wanted to be Jiang Yifeng's mistress, as long as the relationship was stable, she had no other ambitions.

Upon hearing this, some of the seven women in the harem believed it, while others did not.

But Gao Yuanyuan believed it; she saw herself in Li Yunxiao, and the two had similar mindsets.

Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Yunxiao became even closer.

During the time Jiang Yifeng was abroad promoting the Pacific Rim, the two women often ate together and sent photos to Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng named the two girls the "Yuanxiao" duo.

It has to be said that Li Yunxiao played her retreat-to-advance tactic very well; Nazha and Jingtian were no longer so wary of her.

But this wasn't something she did intentionally; rather, it was simply her true mindset, which inadvertently created a very good effect.

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Jiang Yifeng nodded and said, "No problem. Meng Ziyi has invited Chen Yao and Jiang Peiyao to play cards at the courtyard house tonight."

After being enlightened by Gao Yuanyuan, Meng Ziyi changed his strategy and now makes time to meet up with his cousin whenever he has free time.

She's starting to reveal her hand; she's preparing to give up her cousin's identity.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan looked at Chen Yao and said, "No problem. Da Yaoyao told me that Xiao Yaoyao is a very nice person."

Chen Yao immediately said, "I also learned from Senior Yao Yao. She always told me that Sister Yuan Yuan is especially good."

Although Jiang Peiyao isn't very old, Chen Yao is really flat-chested.

In addition, Jiang Peiyao is half a year older than Chen Yao, so in the "Shake It" group, Jiang Yifeng calls Jiang Peiyao "Big Yao Yao" and Chen Yao "Little Yao Yao".

Hearing Chen Yao's words, Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "Don't panic, Yao Yao. You and Xiao Xiao will definitely have something to talk about tonight."

She's Xiaoxiao, about your size, small and very cute.

Li Yunxiao was also young, and Jiang Yifeng often teased her about it.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan smiled happily. After taking the beauty potion, she now truly deserved the title of "Big Beauty Yuanyuan".

Topics we used to dislike discussing, we now enjoy talking about very much.

Gao Yuanyuan asked, "Li Yunxiao is Xiao Xiaoxiao, then who is Da Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Yifeng replied, "Cheng Xiao."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded: "Cheng Xiao is indeed talented. In the recent concert performance of the second generation group, there was a famous scene of Cheng Xiao dancing. She was shaking a lot, and the number of views on the whole Internet exceeded 100 million."

The workload of the second-generation members of Produce 101 is also very high.

After releasing their album in May, they immediately began their concert tour at the end of June.

Cheng Xiao is indeed exceptionally talented.

Just as Jiang Yifeng was about to speak, Ke Lan, who played Lu Yike, walked over and interjected, "President Jiang, you've made so many female stars famous. Aren't you afraid they'll leave you after taking the benefits?"

In life, you'll always encounter some ungrateful wretches.

Ke Lan's words seemed to be referring to Li Yapeng.

Li Yapeng's rise to fame was indeed initially aided by Ke Lan's help.

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "I never think I've done anyone any favors. You always need someone to film a movie, and you need guests to make a show. We're just working together to create a work."

Therefore, it's not a question of ingratitude.

If you always feel that others owe you something, you'll only hurt yourself.

Jiang Yifeng's words were a bit of a sophistry, but it's true that this mindset is better.

If you constantly feel that others owe you something, you're more likely to get yourself into a trap.

Jiang Yifeng has a very self-centered mindset and never worries about gains or losses.

When Gao Yuanyuan said she wanted to leave, Jiang Yifeng didn't indulge her. In fact, he didn't spend much energy on women.

They're gone, so be it; the next one will be better.

That's why Jiang Yifeng can be so dashing.

But the strange thing is that the more he does this, the more charming he becomes. Coupled with the added features of his character model and identity, he ends up surrounded by a galaxy of stars.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Ke Lan seemed to be thinking. She wanted to continue the conversation, but Jiang Yifeng left directly.

Jiang Yifeng isn't interested in female celebrities who aren't good-looking; they're just tools for filming, so there's no need to talk about them.

After lunch, Jiang Yifeng was on set making preparations for the start of filming.

That evening, he also served as the referee, officiating the match between the Lantern Festival Duo and the Shake Shake Duo.

In the end, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Yunxiao were more effective, and the Lantern Festival duo defeated the Shake Shake duo with fewer troops.

Afterwards, Meng Ziyi was still unconvinced, and Li Yunxiao said arrogantly, "My mother hasn't even made a move yet. Next time I'll call my godmother. She's a professional host and very articulate. You'll lose even faster."

Meng Ziyi was most proud of his verbal skills. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Then you wait, I'm going to get Nazar's help! I'll show you what twins are all about!"

Jiang Peiyao suddenly hugged Gao Yuanyuan and asked, "Twins? Aren't we twins?"

People who spend a lot of time together will influence each other and sometimes become more and more alike, which is the origin of the phenomenon of couples looking alike.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Peiyao were already somewhat similar, and after spending several years together, they became even more alike.

Looking at the two charming faces, one happy and one angry, side by side, Meng Ziyi was speechless.

Chen Yao then said, "Senior, which side are you on? No wonder we lost."

Meng Ziyi immediately said, "That's right! So we had an undercover agent on our side! This doesn't count, we'll fight again next time!"

Amidst laughter and playful banter, the two sides issued a challenge, agreeing to fight again another day.

Jiang Yifeng chuckled, put his arm around Gao Yuanyuan, and watched the young actresses battle it out.

……

Filming for "In the Name of the People" began quietly at 9:18 a.m. on July 28.

Jiang Yifeng had the desired effects and shooting scenes in mind, and with the crew full of professional actors, the filming went very smoothly.

In addition, the luxurious multi-camera setup meant that Jiang Yifeng could get many shots right in one take.

"Pass! Pass! Pass!"

"OK, next game!"

"Very good! Time to eat!"

……

Seeing how quickly Jiang Yifeng was filming, many veteran actors were starting to have doubts.

They suspected that Jiang Yifeng was just going through the motions to complete an official task, and that's why he rushed through the filming. Although they had this thought, they didn't dare ask, as they didn't want to offend either the officials or Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng didn't explain. Anyway, these people had a very good professional attitude and their acting was impeccable.

Based on this schedule, Jiang Yifeng and Chen Sicheng will be divided into two groups for filming, and it is expected that filming of "In the Name of the People" will be completed in about a month.

At noon on August 1st, after having lunch with the crew, Jiang Yifeng said, "I have something to do today, so the scenes I'm filming this afternoon will be moved to the evening."

Today is the premiere of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster, The Great Wall, and Zhang Yimou has specially invited Jiang Yifeng to attend.

Zhang Yimou also attended the premiere of Pacific Rim last time, and Jiang Yifeng himself is also very curious about the new "Great Wall".

I want to see what kind of effect this co-production, which was completed earlier than the previous one and in which Zhang Yimou has more say, will have.

So he plans to go to the premiere.

At 1:30 p.m., Jiang Yifeng arrived at the National Assembly Hall.

Zhang Yimou's movies often have their premieres here, which makes them seem more upscale.

In the square of the National Assembly Hall, not only was a long red carpet laid out, but there were also two rows of heavily armed Great Wall guards on the left and right.

As Jiang Yifeng walked across the red carpet, the guards raised their spears, making a great show of it.

Upon entering the hall, one sees Zhang Yi and others standing at the entrance to greet guests.

To his left are actors Matt Damon and Li Binbin, and to his right are Jia Yueting and his wife from LeTV, and Wang Zhonglei from Huayi Brothers.

With the A-share market now in a bull market and the film market booming, LeEco's stock has seen a significant increase, and its market capitalization is approaching 500 billion yuan.

Even Huayi, which had been declining all year, has recently seen its market value rebound, exceeding 10 billion.

Upon seeing Jiang Yifeng, Zhang Yimou quickly stepped forward.

"President Jiang, I didn't expect you to come alone today."

"I was filming today, so I came directly from the set."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Yifeng walked into the screening room, and unexpectedly, Jia Yueting followed him.

"President Jiang, I heard that Sohu is interested in selling Huanrui?"

Sohu had previously tried to sell Huanrui Media, but Huanrui's valuation plummeted after the failure of Jade Dynasty, making it impossible to sell at a suitable price.

Jiang Yifeng then postponed his actions, planning to wait until after the broadcast of "Swords of Legends".

The Legend of the Ancient Sword has been completed and will be broadcast in September.

Jia Yueting's inquiry to Huanrui at this time clearly indicates his intention to snag a bargain.

Instead of answering, Jiang Yifeng asked, "President Jia, are you interested in Huanrui?"

Jia Yueting did not deny it, nodding and saying, "I am very interested."

LeTV has signed contracts with many big-name directors and is making great strides in the film industry, but its performance in the television drama field is lackluster.

Especially at Jiang Yifeng's suggestion, Sohu bought the copyrights to many TV series. Without these TV series copyrights, LeTV's customer acquisition capabilities were not strong enough.

From a business perspective, LeEco's acquisition of H&R Century Pictures can make up for its weakness in TV dramas and increase LeEco's content production capabilities.

From a capital operation perspective, the acquisition of Huanrui is also a major positive development, which can stimulate the stock price to rise.

Jiang Yifeng was smart; he understood Jia Yueting's thoughts and asked, "You also think highly of Gujian Qitan?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yueting smiled broadly.

“It’s so easy to talk to you, Mr. Jiang. I really think highly of this drama and want to acquire Huanrui in advance to take advantage of the current stock market situation.”

Jiang Yifeng's plan was to sell Huanrui at the highest price after Gujian Qitan became a hit drama.
Jia Yueting had a similar idea; he wanted to buy Huanrui in advance, including the TV series "Swords of Legends".

Then, in conjunction with the acquisition of Huanrui and the huge success of Gujian, they continued to boost the stock price and carried out capital operations.

Jiang Yifeng didn't mince words and said directly, "My bottom line is 35 billion. I won't sell for less than that."

Sohu spent 13.7 billion yuan to acquire Huanrui. Later, Jiang Yifeng spent money to buy the shares of the remaining minority shareholders, totaling about 15 billion yuan.

35 billion is just a doubling of the profit.

Seeing that Jia Yueting still wanted to bargain, Jiang Yifeng said, "This is the price. I'm already giving you face."

The film and television market is booming right now, and film and television companies are valued very highly. Just look at the valuations of companies like New Classics Media.

"I can get Huanrui listed on the New Third Board and raise a lot of money."

With internet capital now entering the entertainment industry, the valuations of major companies are inflated. In the future, Jiaxing Media could potentially reach a market value of 50 billion yuan.

Of course, that's just a way to inflate market value with a single financing round, which is rather inflated and cannot be compared to a complete acquisition.

But Jiang Yifeng's offer was indeed quite reasonable.

For Jiang Yifeng, Huanrui was definitely going to be sold, and it would be most comfortable to sell it while the market environment was good.

Moreover, selling Huanrui to LeEco is a very good idea.

Relatively speaking, LeEco's foundation is quite weak, and this company will definitely face a crisis in the future.

Selling Huanrui to one of the three giants BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) would likely strengthen Tencent Video, Youku, or iQiyi.

There are only a handful of companies in the market capable of acquiring Huanrui at a high price.

After considering the potential returns from the capital market, Jia Yueting decisively said, "No problem, 35 billion it is, it's a deal."

Many big deals are accomplished unintentionally, and that's how the two of them finalized the acquisition of Huanrui.

Jia Yueting left satisfied.

Before long, Jiang Yifeng had a beautiful woman by his side.

She wore a low-cut, bodycon dress, the white flesh of her breasts dazzlingly bright, and her long, beautiful legs, encased in black stockings, appeared even more shapely and straight, making one want to reach out and play with them.

Coupled with red stilettos, it's safe to say she's incredibly sexy.

Such a beauty is none other than Da Mi Mi, whom we haven't seen in a long time.

Seeing that Jiang Yifeng remained motionless, Yang Mi said in a sweet, childlike voice, "You really have no gentlemanly manners, help me up!"

Jiang Yifeng joked, "I thought you would deliberately lose your balance and fall into my arms."

"Is it okay? Here I come!"

Yang Mi had wanted to do this for a long time, but she was afraid of angering Jiang Yifeng, so she didn't dare to do anything reckless.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, she stumbled and then fell into his arms.

There were media reporters present at today's premiere.

Click!Click!
This scene was quickly captured by reporters.

Yang Mi whispered contentedly in Jiang Yifeng's ear, "It's been so long since I've had any rumors with you, let me ride on your coattails too~"

Since it was a public place, Yang Mi let Jiang Yifeng feel her softness before reluctantly leaving his embrace.

She sat down in her seat and straightened her clothes.

Jiang Yifeng said, "You're so popular now, do you still need to ride on my coattails?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi sighed and said, "I was very popular, but you released two movies one after the other, first promoting Jing Tian and then Xiao Tian."

They stole all my attention.

I've realized it: my greatest enemy is you!
