Chapter 488: Major Decision of the Company
Chapter 488: Major Decision of the Company
Jason Statham had a very pleasant collaboration with Meng Ziren this time, and wanted to work with him again in the next movie, so he promoted himself with a smile and jokes.
After all, this movie is the highest-grossing movie in the Fast and Furious series so far. Although everyone in China is criticizing it, the reviews in Europe and the United States are quite good. As for how this good review came about, only Meng Ziren and the capital company behind him know it best.
With this drama as support, Meng Ziren's next drama will definitely be a hit. I can participate in it and maintain my popularity.
No one is a fool, and people with high emotional intelligence like Jason Statham are extremely smart.
Seeing that everyone wanted to work with Zhao Yun, Vin Diesel had to say something. He smiled and said, "One movie a year is enough for me. I'd better spend more time with my family in the rest of the time. Sorry, if the Fast and Furious series ends, I will definitely set aside a year to shoot for you!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun expressed his understanding that everyone has a different way of living and everyone has the happiness of their own way of living.
Moreover, Vin Diesel's way of filming can keep him very valuable. After all, he only makes one movie a year, and those investors who want to cooperate with him have to pay a high price to keep him.
To be honest, if Zhao Yun invites Vin Diesel and Jason Statham to shoot together, the cost is still a bit too much for Zhao Yun. After all, the filming of flowers in China is not as expensive as Hollywood in the United States, where it costs 200 million to 300 million US dollars or 100 million to 200 million US dollars.
Of course, there are also those who invest even more, and a large portion of them do so for money laundering.
Zhao Yun gained a lot from this meal together. First of all, he was confirmed as the overseas publicity staff for the release of Wandering Little Ball. He also booked a collaboration with Jason Statham in the next film.
After dinner, everyone chatted and Zhao Yun asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"
Meng Ziren smiled obscenely, "I'll go back to the hotel to recuperate so that I can take care of my little black stockings when I get back."
As soon as Meng Ziren finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Through this meal, Zhao Yun also learned that the reason why Meng Ziren, a Chinese, was loved by foreign capital was not only because of his abilities, but also because of his self-deprecating way of communication, which made it easy for him to get closer to others.
Moreover, his hobby is also the hobby of those capital tycoons. They let women carry their guns together, and they also carry women's legs together. It would be strange if their relationship was not good under such circumstances.
Jason Statham said, "I plan to go to the greet wall. Your Mr. Mao once said that one is not a true man if he has not been to the Great Wall. It is a 20,000-kilometer journey. I want to see this wonder of the world."
Vin Diesel also nodded and expressed his desire to visit the Great Wall.
Zhao Yun said with difficulty, "If you go to the Great Wall this time, I really can't accompany you. I have an ankle injury and haven't exercised recently. Let Brother Jing and Liu Cixin go with you!"
After hearing this, Jason Statham and Vin Diesel waved their hands and said, "If you are injured, don't go. Wu Jingjing and I will go."
Jason Statham and Wu Jingjing established a good relationship at this party. It was just right for two muscular men who love sports to climb mountains together.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhao Yun returned to the company to rest. Wu Jingjing and Liu Cixin accompanied them to climb the Great Wall.
In the afternoon, Li Chunxiao came to Zhao Yun's office.
"Boss Zhao, we have come up with two plans for the revenue sharing of our cooperation with Yanjing Television. Take a look!"
Zhao Yun picked up the document that Li Chunxiao handed to him and looked at it carefully.
One option is that Yunduo Company wants 50% of all investment promotion, and another option is that Yunduo Company only wants 20% from Yanjing TV Station, but Yunduo Company will own the copyright for the online channel.
The first option is safer, while the second option is a bit risky.
After all, this kind of more decent variety show, in this fast-food era, people still go online to have fun, whether they can accept re-education is a question. This is also the reason why Running Man became popular so quickly.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yun made comparisons in his mind and asked Li Chunxiao, who was sitting on the chair opposite, for his opinion.
"I think the second one."
"Oh! What's the reason?"
"The reason is that we are no longer just a company, we are also a capital party. We also want to play with capital, and the trick of capital is to use small amounts of money to pry larger levers."
Zhao Yun nodded in agreement with Li Chunxiao's words.
Li Chunxiao looked at Zhao Yun's reaction and continued, "Since we invested in Tomorrow's Headlines, they have been developing in the search and news fields. When I went there for a meeting this year, Zhang Erming told me that he wanted to enter the short video industry."
"Short video? Is it the same as slow hand?"
"Almost. He also felt that this was a big outlet after seeing the influence of Slow Hand last year. But he wanted to go for greener and brighter content output."
Zhao Yun was thoughtful after hearing this. He remembered Zhang Guoliang, Zhang Manman and Da Yuange who were currently doing live broadcasts on Slow Hand.
"Since he wants to make short videos, he definitely needs content output. We are a shareholder of Yunduo Company. In addition, our variety show is full of positive energy. If we cut the video into short videos and play them continuously on Douyin, it will definitely attract a lot of traffic."
"This way, the video traffic will be large, which can also feed back to Douyin and bring it more popularity. When Douyin goes public, our investment will have unexpected income."
Zhao Yun had to admire Li Chunxiao's vision. At that time, she was the one who made the final decision to let Zhao Yun invest in Tomorrow Headlines, and now she has even planned what happens next.
Li Chunxiao is born to be a handsome talent!
"Then what does Zhang Erming think about the future development of Douyin?"
"All video content is for making money. His idea is that Douyin is a structure that integrates video entertainment, live streaming sales, and short video sales. Everyone can sell goods and everyone can endorse their own products."
Zhao Yun frowned after hearing this. "If this continues, won't we be competing with Alimama and Jingxi in the future?"
Li Chunxiao explained, "It's unlikely that a fight will break out in the near future. People are not used to this kind of approach yet. Besides, Alimama and Jingxi are now well-capitalized. Zhang Erming won't dare to confront them in the short term."
"Besides, we are betting on both sides now. Later on, we can slowly reduce our holdings, cash out part of it, and keep the rest in. No matter who wins or loses, we will reap the benefits."
Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this. "You are right, but when to reduce the shareholding is a technical job. If we reduce the shareholding when the stock price drops sharply, I guess neither party will let us get away. After all, I am too famous. Once I reduce my shareholding, it will cause unimaginable losses to them."
"I will hire a professional analyst to discuss this later. Now we have to set a bottom line in advance. How much money will be obtained and how many shares will be left."
Zhao Yun thought about it. He currently holds 10% of Jingxi's shares and 20% of Tomorrow's Headlines. After a calculation, he said, "Jingxi will reduce its holdings to 5% and cash out 10 billion. No matter whether Douyin will win in the future or not, we will get the 10 billion first, and we will not be afraid of anything. What do you think?"
"Okay, I will slowly sell my shares after Jingxi goes public."
