Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

The next day.

The fans left Hengdian happily, and everyone left with a lot of goodies from this visit.

cough cough.

To keep quiet, Shen Yan specially bought 40 Sony Ericsson W20 phones at his own expense.

I didn't use Sony's free device allowance.

Too late!

Each guitar costs only a little over 1400 yuan. If you buy 40 of them, the total price won't even be as high as the guitar itself.

All-inclusive accommodation and meals, signed albums and posters, cell phones, photos, and tours—if anyone still exposes his affair with Sister Xia after all this, it's a huge blow.

Let him be.

He's fearless anyway!

of course.

He didn't forget his promise. As soon as the bank opened on Monday, Shen Yan donated 100,000 yuan in the name of his fan club.

After making the payment, Zhang Dandan didn't forget to send the receipt to her core fan group.

As soon as Shen Yan returned to the film set, Liu Shishi came over.

"They've all left?"

The last few days have been filled with group scenes, specifically the scenes between Ying Wuqiu and the four members of the Yizhimei group.

So, Sister Xia and he were in the same group every day.

"Yes, they've all left."

"Old K is coming today."

Then, Liu Shishi mentioned something else, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"She said we're going to Beijing in a few days to record 'TV Pioneer List'."

"Just the two of us?" Shen Yan asked, feigning ignorance.

"And Yuan Hong."

"Oh, what date are you going?"

"The 9th of next month."

The two were very "in sync"; neither of them mentioned Zhang Junning, not even Xia Jie. Only a fool would mention her.

Why doesn't he ask himself?

"Aren't you going to ask her?" After holding it in for a while, Sister Xia couldn't help but ask.

Who is it?

"Who are you talking about?"

"Why did you hit her?" Shen Yan grabbed the blind woman's small hand.

"Hmph, who told you to write a song for her?"

"What song?"

This time, Shen Yan wasn't pretending to be stupid.

"It's...it's that English song, something like Promise, Missing."

"Huh?" Shen Yan looked speechless. "Who told you it was written for her?"

"Isn't that right?"

Since things had come to this point, Sister Xia decided to go all out and satisfy her curiosity first, regardless of whether Shen Yan thought she was petty or jealous!

No, that's not it.

Shen Yan shrugged, hummed a few lines, and then concluded.

"This song is about ordinary daily life, reminding everyone that the ordinary things we do now are actually very beautiful. If you don't believe me, you'll know when the album is released."

After saying that, he reached out and ruffled the blind woman's hair.

I never expected that Sister Xia would be so jealous, while Poor Ha has become so understanding.

It also includes a self-guided strategy.

"Cough cough."

Just then, a cough came from behind. Turning around, I saw Cai Yinong looking helpless.

"You two should be more careful on set from now on. If the rumors are confirmed, it won't do Shishi any good."

She was actually saying this to Shen Yan.

Shi Shi?

Is it even useful to say it?

Cai Yinong could easily imagine that with just a little encouragement from Shen Yan, her "number one sister" would dare to reveal her secret.

Sometimes she even wondered if she had bad taste.

Guan Yonghe was like that back then, and Sun Li was still willing to do anything for love. But Liu Shishi went even further.

Even though I told her that what lay ahead might be a pit of fire, she still jumped in without hesitation.

I'm so worried.

I just hope that when the two break up, Shishi won't be too hurt.

"Sister K, we know what we're doing."

Shen Yan chuckled, which was his response to Cai Yinong.

"Um."

Cai Yinong nodded.

"I've arranged an interview for you on the 18th of next month, on Dragon TV's 'Kefan's Listening.' I'll have Hu Jia coordinate with you afterward."

"Kefan, please listen?"

Shen Yan was quite surprised. He knew this show, the famous scene of "Nine Turns of Intestines" by Cao Kefan, but what about the others?

Gone.

But that wasn't what surprised him; what surprised him was that the show had actually invited him.

Despite his popularity this year, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the strongest newcomer in the Chinese music scene in 2010.

However, the interview programs at this time, especially those that claim to be high-end interview programs, are all very "arrogant".

They are going to interview writers, painters, directors, middle-aged and older actresses, sports celebrities, superstars, business tycoons, and so on.

A newcomer to the music scene?

Who knows if it's just a flash in the pan?

Even the most down-to-earth talk show, "A Date with Lu Yu," rarely interviews new singers.

We should wait at least a year or two to see how things go before making an appointment, otherwise it could easily ruin our reputation.

"Yeah, your promotional song is a huge hit in Shanghai."

Cai Yinong stated frankly.

"Many listeners called the TV station, hoping to learn more about you, and then they sent you an invitation."

"Recorded in mid-July, aired in August, just in time for album promotion."

"Understood, I'll contact Sister Jia later."

"Um."

After saying this, Cai Yinong left the rest area. She returned to Hengdian today not just for Shen Yan.

She had more important business to attend to.

Look for Li Guoli.

Let's talk about Ping An's investment in Tangren Media.

"Old Wu, you guys film the rest of the scenes. I need to talk to Mr. Cai about something."

Upon seeing Cai Yinong approach, Li Guoli greeted the directors, and then the two of them went to the crew's rest area.

"Karen, I've said it so many times."

After everyone else left, Li Guoli lit a cigarette and fired the first shot, his tone tinged with impatience.

"I'm not interested in equity financing. You've been in Hong Kong for so many years, don't you know what kind of people investors are?"

This is not the first time the two have discussed equity financing.

But this time, Li Guoli decided to be open and honest.

"Furthermore, as you know, I'm getting older and older, and sometimes I feel like I don't have enough energy."

"Wait two more years. After I retire, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

"Brother Li, we've been working together for so many years, you should know what kind of person I am."

When even her age was brought up, Cai Yinong immediately changed her strategy.

"I've considered all your concerns. Rest assured, no matter who we ultimately reach an agreement with, creative freedom will absolutely be at the heart of the negotiations."

"If investors are unwilling to grant me sufficient creative freedom, I would rather give up funding than compromise."

Seeing that Li Guoli was just silently smoking, she continued to persuade him.

"Brother Li, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but the market is forcing us. I heard some news during my trip to Yanjing: Huace has confirmed its listing this year."

"In terms of fundamentals, they are far inferior to us at Tangren, but in terms of IPO, they have already taken the lead."

"HuaCe?"

Li Guoli exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"Karen, if I remember correctly, they're very close to Boss Lou of Guangxia?"

"I don't need to say more about who the person surnamed Lou is, do I?"

"With someone else helping to make the connection, what do we have to compare with?"

"That person has retired, and his influence is not what it used to be."

Cai Yinong revealed one piece of information, but concealed another crucial piece of information.

That one person alone can't get through all the obstacles.

There's another boost.

A person with connections and influence.

LeEco, which is about to have its IPO, was also mediated by them.

The person surnamed Lou had interacted with the other party a long time ago.

She was unaware of these things at first, but heard them from a dinner party, an investor's dinner party that Xu's wife had taken her to.

Similar situations are actually quite common in the IPO circle, and most of them are one-off deals.

Assist with IPO, make a surprise investment, get out of the predicament, and leave.

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a fallen phoenix is ​​still beyond our reach."

Li Guoli sighed.

"Karen, you've changed so much lately. Yes, you can control the equity in financing, and you can give up only 20%, or even less."

"However, some people may not necessarily follow the rules."

"What would you do if someone ordered you to do something you didn't want to do?"

"Aren't you going to do it?"

"Is there a possibility that they'll force you to take the initiative to do it?"

"I just don't understand why you're so insistent on an IPO?"

"Was it Wang Yi's suggestion?"

"You've changed so much since you started dating him."

"It has nothing to do with him."

Cai Yinong shook her head.

"Brother Li, we must be prepared for the worst even in times of peace. As for what you mentioned, I have already considered it."

"Among the investors we've been in contact with so far, Ping An has the fewest requirements. Backed by the Ping An Group, they have no shortage of money or connections. They are purely financial investors and at most want some influence."

"Why don't you understand?"

Li Guoli lit another cigarette.

"You...you..."

The two had known each other for many years, and seeing the expression on Cai Yinong's face, Li Guoli was too lazy to say anything.

That's a firm decision!

I don't know who bewitched her.

"never mind!"

Li Guoli threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it hard.

"You're being completely unreasonable. Calm down, let's talk about it later, at least after we finish filming this series."

After a long while, watching Li Guoli's departing figure, Cai Yinong also sighed.

Ugh.

Why is it so difficult?

The IPO may have initially been somewhat related to Shen Yan, but at this moment, it is Cai Yinong herself who wants to push forward with the IPO.

Time waits for no one.

Currently, Tangren Media has one drama awaiting broadcast, "The Weaver Girl," and one drama currently being filmed, "The Vigilantes in Masks."

In addition, there are two dramas awaiting filming: "Scarlet Heart" and "Love O2O".

The latter has already secured funding and completed its preparations, only lacking some supporting actors. What about the former?

Preparations are mostly complete, but nearly half of the funds are still needed.

It's not that the Tang people can't come up with the money, but that they can't invest it all. If they go all in, even a slight problem could break their financial chain.

Anyone who has run a company knows what it means when the cash flow breaks down.

Although Yanjing Bank's Shenhai Putuo branch recently contacted them, saying they had a new business that could provide credit loans to Tangren.

but.

The loan has to be repaid, and the other party also requires collateral and guarantees.

What about equity financing?

That was a legitimate investment; even if it lost money, she wouldn't have to pay it back. Of course, she also knew that the investors would have performance requirements.

But it's still better than gambling away your entire fortune.

She doesn't want to experience the financial crisis that plagued the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again.

However, just as Li Guoli understood her, she also understood this business partner very well.

Given his resistance, it would be difficult for the two to reach a consensus.

Without the major shareholder's approval, she wouldn't have had a chance to discuss investment and financing at all.

and many more.

Suddenly, she thought of someone.

How about trying a roundabout approach?

Taking the family route?
