Chapter 150 Pin Xixi, born in advance, seizes 200 billion in revenue

Shanhai Film and Television Headquarters.

Training room on the third floor.

The room is spacious and bright, with a small stage in the center and a set of audio equipment on both sides, which is usually used for rehearsals and performances.

There is a large screen behind the stage that can play videos to help artists better understand the characters and plot.

There is also a small bar in the upper right corner, offering a variety of free drinks and fruits.

Chen Heyu is sitting at the top, with Guo Fan, Lao Xiao, Liu Xiaowan, Wang Zhi and others on his right, and Liu Dehua, Wu Jin, Wu Da, Shen Teng and Ning Li on his left.

"Uncle Da, are you feeling well?"

As a fan, he asked with concern.

At the beginning of the year, Wu Da lost 15 kilograms due to heart failure caused by a viral infection and diabetes. After the operation, he slowly recovered after half a year of training.

After receiving Guo Fan's invitation, Wu Da immediately agreed.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your concern. I have no problem."

Wu Da replied with a smile. The bones on his face were clearly visible, and his energy and blood had obviously not fully recovered.

"Lao Guo, after joining the team, arrange an assistant for Uncle Da to take care of him conveniently."

Chen Heyu warned.

Guo Fan nodded.

"In my lifetime, it will be worth it if I have the opportunity to make a movie like this and leave a page in the history of our Chinese film industry.

Don't get any special treatment, I can't afford it."

Wu Tat's Mandarin is very standard. Hengdian has worked hard in filming for many years. He is several levels better than those Hong Kong artists who speak awkward Mandarin and come to the mainland to make money.

"Brother Da, you have just recovered, so you still need to pay more attention. Mr. Chen is right."

Liu Dehua persuaded.

"Yes, Uncle Da, please don't refuse."

Wu Jin said with a smile.

Seeing that it was difficult to refuse, Uncle Da could only thank them one by one and agree first.

In "The Wandering Earth", his role is not heavy, and the first part was relatively easy.

The second part requires him to wear a space suit weighing tens of kilograms, which is a kind of torture for him.

"Everyone has read the script. If you have any ideas, you can talk about it first."

Chen Heyu asked.

"Mr. Chen, which company are Shanhai going to use to make the special effects shots for the movie? Industrial Light & Magic or Weta Digital?"

Wu Jin asked curiously.

Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Digital are both foreign film special effects production companies.

Industrial Light & Magic has won 15 Oscars for Best Visual Effects and has provided special effects services for films such as "Star Wars", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", and "Harry Potter".

Weta Digital has won five Oscars for Best Visual Effects, and its representative works include "Avatar", "King Kong", "Lord of the Rings", etc.

Chen Heyu smiled and shook his head.

"A domestic company? Galaxy Digital or Base CG?"

Wu Jin continued to ask.

For a science fiction blockbuster, special effects processing is a top priority. Each company has its own areas of expertise. Some major productions will even invite multiple movie special effects teams to work together to complete the project.

Basically, a reliable special effects company determines half of the quality of a movie.

"More Max is responsible for part of the special effects production, and the core work is handled by Future Technology."

Chen Heyu announced calmly.

This plan was finally finalized after three rounds of seminars. "Wandering Planet" is about to be launched, and the Moss AI special effects are still being developed and trained. It will take at least 3 to 6 months to complete and go online.

Some special effects shots in the early stage can only be handed over to other special effects companies first.

More Max is a top special effects production company in China, headquartered in Shanghai. It has a team of professional artists, designers and technicians who are proficient in 3D modeling, dynamic simulation, ray tracing and other special effects technologies.

Wu Jin had heard about the strong strength and suddenly felt confident.

"Mr. Chen, Brother Jin is five years older than me. Is it inappropriate for me to play his master?"

Shen Teng raised his hand like a primary school student typing a report.

His cheerful face and funny tone made everyone present laugh.

With "Charlotte" grossing nearly 2 billion at the box office, his popularity has naturally increased, and he can tease Wu Jin in person without any psychological burden.

"Don't worry, this has been considered for a long time. Director Guo will come and explain it to Teacher Shen."

Chen Heyu burst out laughing.

Among comedy films, Shen Teng is indeed the actor with the most box office appeal. Regardless of the facts, his face alone that makes the audience laugh is worth hundreds of millions in box office.

Otherwise, in the previous life, content would not have been one of the important factors in measuring the success of a comedy.

"We will use artificial intelligence and expression capture technology to solve Brother Jin's age problem and bring him back to his youth. The same goes for Brother Hua."

Guo Fan took up the topic and answered Shen Teng's doubts.

Among the remaining few people, no one dared to speak. They were just lucky enough to be cast, so how could they dare to give suggestions?

Just listen to the command and try your best!

Ning Li sat blankly in his chair, his mind still spinning. He heard that the boss of Shanhai had appointed him to play an important supporting role.

I didn't read the contract carefully, so I chose to sign the contract directly and signed the agency contract with Shanhai Film and Television.

A big company with a billion investment!

He is forty-five years old this year, and half of his body is buried in the loess. If he does not seize this rare opportunity, he will be a late bloomer.

At this time, he has not yet appeared in "Undocumented Crime", and he is still not the ruthless Li Toyota.

Therefore, as the youngest person, when others were silent, he kept his mouth shut to avoid causing trouble.

"Finish the remaining characters as soon as possible. I will return to Yancheng next week to help you keep an eye on the development progress of AI special effects.

Regarding overseas market issues, Mr. San agreed to help negotiate and strive for a split account model and simultaneous global release..."

Chen Heyu said.

When Chinese-language films go overseas, there are generally two cooperation models: split accounts and buyout, and the income gap is huge.

Only Category A blockbusters have a chance to get share rights, while all others will be bought out.

One price!

After it is sold, even if the box office reaches 10 billion US dollars, it will not matter half a cent to you.

"Hero" sold over 100 million U.S. dollars at the overseas box office, and the DVD rights were worth 30 million U.S. dollars. In fact, in Zhang Yimou's hands, it was less than 10 million U.S. dollars, and he could barely take a sip of soup.

Why?

Because it adopted the buyout model and had no familiar issuers overseas, it had no choice but to swallow its troubles and suffer heavy losses.

When everyone heard these words, they were all shocked. Mountain and Sea is such a big deal, and it actually wants to be released simultaneously around the world.

If the movie becomes popular, it will add a lot of qualifications to everyone's acting career.

"Find someone to inquire about Master Xing's schedule and see if he is willing to come and make a guest appearance. Which one of you will step in?"

Chen Heyu thought for a while and added.

"At the last film symposium, Star Master asked me to make a cameo in "Mermaid". I came forward to communicate, so there should be no big problem."

Lao Xiao said with a smile.

There is still room for the most popular commercial director in the Chinese language, and even the celebrity star wants to take advantage of his popularity.

Uncle Da remained silent. His former partner was a stranger due to various factors affecting his status and status.

He also wanted to cooperate with Xing Zai, who at that time was the "Xing Ye".

A few days later, the official account of Shanhai Film and Television Company successively released concept posters of the actors and storyboards.

For a time, the popularity and number of discussions on "Wandering Earth Star" remained high, and it appeared on the hot search list.

In particular, it was officially announced that "Uncle Tat and Master Xing" will once again play rival roles in the movie, which instantly set off the entire Internet.

Looking forward to it!

In the hearts of fans, they have been looking forward to the cooperation between the two, even though in the movie, Master Xing is a friendly guest star, and Uncle Da only plays a small supporting role.

It is destined not to satisfy everyone’s wishes.

…

Friday.

Shanghai Boyue Hotel Conference Hall.

The interior of the house is beautifully decorated, with dark tones on the walls and a large number of artworks and crystal light bulbs dotting the space, giving the space a more layered feel.

The ceiling chandelier emits soft light, making people feel like they are in the starry sky.

The comfort of the sofa was impeccable. Chen Heyu enjoyed leaning on the chair and said to Zhou Xiaoyu who was standing aside: "This place is good. You can choose this place for the next annual meeting."

"A bit extravagant."

Lao Zhou frowned and said, he is a pragmatist and prefers to convert these into cash and distribute them to the employees below.

Chen Heyu smiled and ignored him.

He likes Lao Zhou's character very much, unlike some big bosses who do charity all day long but refuse to give their employees a dime in salary increase.

At this moment, a man of medium build walked over, wearing a straight suit and combed back hair. At first glance, he looked more like an elegant teacher.

"Mr. Zhou, please come here and the exchange will be complete and successful only with your participation."

The man smiled slightly and calmly flattered Zhou Xiaoyu. The unique charm of a middle-aged entrepreneur made him not look greasy.

"Ahem, Mr. Bai is very polite. Let me introduce to you. This is my boss, Mr. Chen Heyu, the controlling shareholder of Shanhai Capital."

Lao Zhou smiled and said, there is no way he can pretend to be in front of his boss.

"Mr. Chen, don't blame me for missing your welcome. Take some time to show your respect. I'll put a table on it myself to apologize to you."

Bai Cong, the boss of Zheya Technology, enthusiastically picked up his wine glass, lowered his body and spoke flatteringly.

I even want to hit the snake with a stick and further deepen the relationship.

Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Heyu was in a trance.

Bai Cong was his boss in his previous life. He would wait a few more years and become a billionaire when he went public. Standing in front of him now, groveling, made him feel extremely sad.

Time has changed and everything is different!

In the last life, Boss Bai was barely a conscientious entrepreneur, and Chen Heyu was an ordinary employee who was given thousands of stock options.

He used the money to buy several new mobile phones.

But not long after, in order to prepare for listing and reduce costs and improve efficiency, the company fired him. He felt both love and hate.

"Mr. Bai, I have studied your company's business model. With last year's revenue, there is no problem in going public. I suggest you seize the golden period of 4G development and make early preparations."

Chen Heyu kindly gave me a few words.

This saves the other party from struggling for 7 years and only going public in 2021, which is a waste of time.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice."

Bai Cong nodded slightly and pretended to listen to his opinion.

"Mr. Bai, I heard that your company has a senior executive. Is he here today?"

Chen Heyu took advantage of the situation and asked.

"Oh? Mr. Chen actually knows her. I'm calling her over now. Please wait a moment."

Bai Cong was surprised and said that Gao Jingwen was one of his generals. It could be said that Zhe Ya had half of the credit for his achievements today.

In charge of the two core business lines of operations and commerce, he has taken advantage of special e-commerce and completed sales of 4 billion last year. For a small start-up company, this achievement is impressive enough.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to poach people?"

Zhou Xiaoyu understood his temper and asked tentatively.

"It's just a meeting, don't think too much, am I that kind of person?"

Chen Heyu waved his hand to interrupt Lao Zhou's doubts. Gao Jingwen was his direct boss in his previous life, and he knew his abilities very well.

pity.

Bai Cong has the ability to recognize people, but he has no tolerance for others. He only agreed to give less than 1% of the equity to Gao Jingwen, who had made great contributions. As a result, Gao Jingwen became disheartened and ran away with the bucket.

Within a few years, Gao Jingwen entered the field of live streaming and has several middle- and upper-level anchors under his banner, with annual sales exceeding tens of billions.

Completed the listing one step earlier than Zheya, which can be regarded as a slap in the face.

Bai Cong didn't know why Chen Heyu knew about Gao Jingwen, but in order to build a good relationship with him, he still called Gao Jingwen.

"Jingwen, let me take you to meet a big boss, who is also a big financial backer of Zheya."

Mr. Bai said with a smile.

"The boss of Shanhai Capital?"

Gao Jingwen reacted quickly.

"Smart, if he wants to see you, go over first and then talk."

Mr. Bai urged.

Then, the two bypassed the crowd and returned to Chen Heyu's table, where they found Huang Zheng from Qile.com chatting happily with him.

He adjusted his mentality and brought Gao Jingwen over.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, this is Gao Jingwen, the VP of operations of Zheya. Both of them are seniors in the business world. Please take care of me."

Mr. Bai said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, I am Gao Jingwen. Nice to meet you."

Thirty-two-year-old Gao Jingwen, who was born in Ali, started in a sales position and has rich management experience and business negotiation skills. He stood in front of Chen Heyu without any fear.

Looking at his previous leader with a new perspective, Chen Heyu found that he was really a good professional manager.

Moreover, she has abilities that ordinary managers don’t have: the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit to go from 0 to 1.

"Hello, Mr. Gao, I've heard of your name. The Shanghai e-commerce circle is so big, and it's easy for outstanding people to stand out.

If it’s convenient, leave me a phone number. I’ll have to ask you if I have any professional questions in the e-commerce field in the future.”

In front of Bai Cong, he couldn't poach him directly until Gao Jingwen wanted to run away.

When the time comes, it would be a good choice to invest in her live broadcast organization or leave her to Luo Wenwen.

"Just call me Jingwen."

Gao Jingwen said modestly, surrounded by company bosses, how could she be called "Mr. Gao"? Although Chen Heyu was young, she could not underestimate him.

Shanhai Capital is extremely famous in the Internet circles in Shanghai. If I have the opportunity to start a business in the future, it will also be an important network.

The two immediately exchanged contact information and WeChat IDs, and then chatted for a few words. Seeing that Chen Heyu was not very interested, Gao Jingwen left.

"Mr. Huang, I invested in your project, but I'm actually not optimistic about it."

Chen Heyu sent Bai Cong away and started chatting with Huang Zheng. He was shocked when he opened his mouth.

Huang Zheng, who is 34 years old this year, is no longer a newbie in the business circle. Seven years ago, he resigned from Gugo and returned to China to start his own business.

He has experience in agency operating companies, cross-border e-commerce and gaming companies.

These experiences laid a solid foundation of merchant resources and technology for him to start Pinxixi. The bargaining method that is most disgusting to the Chinese people may have been replaced by the other party.

"Sixty thousand people can conquer a city, but they can't afford a mobile phone."

“Treat businesses as human beings!”

Various negative reviews have not affected it from becoming one of the three giants of e-commerce.

"What does Mr. Chen mean?"

Huang Zheng asked slightly confused.

"I am more optimistic about you. To be precise, it is your talent in the field of e-commerce. Do you think there can be a third competitor in the current domestic e-commerce environment?"

Chen Heyu guided him to think.

The Ali family is the largest, followed closely by Jingdong, and the market shares of Sushi and Guobei are pitifully small.

He was directly excluded from the discussion.

"It's difficult. The mid-to-low-end market, food and clothing categories are all taken by Ali. The high-end, 3C electronic and electrical online markets are mostly in the hands of Jingdong. I don't think there is a breakthrough point."

Huang Zheng thought carefully for a moment and gave an answer.

"What about the rural market? The current penetration rate of smartphones is 62%. Even if the penetration rate in rural areas is only 30%, it is still a blue ocean market of more than 200 million.

The shipment volume of smartphones will also expand this year, and this ratio will gradually change. 300 million, 400 million, 500 million are all unexplored blank areas.

At least Ahri and Jingdong haven’t noticed yet.”

Chen Heyu continued.

"Mr. Chen's idea is to start from the lower market and avoid the business scope of Ali and Jingdong?"

Huang Zheng understood a little bit and judged that this idea was feasible.

"Mr. Huang will be the executor, and I will be responsible for investing and jointly building Huaguo's third phenomenal e-commerce APP. Are you interested?"

Chen Heyu extended the invitation.

After a year, Huang Zheng took the initiative to found "Pin Haowu" and then promoted the birth of Pin Xixi. It was too slow.

At that time, he will be particularly passive when he makes an investment request. It is better to guide the other party to start Pinxixi in advance. He will directly invest as a partner and reap greater benefits.

After all, there is another "Father of Peach Treasures" competing with him for this role.

"Mr. Chen, your proposal is a bit big. Can you let me consider it for a few days?"

Huang Zheng was a little confused. He went out to attend an exchange reception and met the funder's father. He originally wanted to get close to him, but he never expected that the other party would take a fancy to him and be willing to invest in his entire new project.

"I don't have much time. Have you met the CEO Gao just now? If you don't agree, I will find someone else."

Chen Heyu said with a faint smile.

The words were half true and half false, and he didn't have much patience for Huang Zheng.

If the other party does not join his camp, he will immediately come up with a complete Pinxixi operation plan and hand it over to Gao Jingwen.

In the future, Pinxixi will rely on "low-price model, massive users, quality supply and big data technology" to win the market. In his opinion, these means have no barriers.

If he takes action, he will only be better. Relying on the powerful Moss Terminal and the good relationship with Penguin, his growth rate will be faster.

Huang Zheng's greatest role is to be a good trader and an excellent worker.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your support. I will seriously consider it."

Huang Zheng is not angry either. In front of the big boss, he has no right to be angry. Being modest and respectful is the proper attitude.

The reception ended and Chen Heyu left.

For two days over the weekend, I didn’t even wait for Huang Zheng’s reply.

In the new week, he took Lao Mo to Yancheng, intending to follow up on the development progress of Moss AI special effects.

The day after landing, Lao Zhou called.

"Boss, Huang Zheng agreed."

"You are responsible for this project, and it should be listed as one of the company's core businesses. You only need to hold a controlling share of the shares, leaving enough room for other investors."

Chen Heyu explained.

Pin Xixi's success is inseparable from the help of many capital tycoons. It is meaningless to acquire 90% of the equity in one go. Only Pin Xixi worth 500 billion yuan is his goal.

A few days later, a technology company called "Pinxixi" was formally established. Shanhai Capital held 70% of the shares, and Huang Zheng merged the assets and team of Qile.com, accounting for 30% of the shares.

Using the AB share structure, Shanhai Capital can control the controlling stake no matter how many rounds of financing it goes through.

As long as Chen Heyu makes this move steadily, the profit he can reap will be at least 200 billion.
