Century Peak initiated a tender offer from Jiahe on November 20, and until the two-month offer expired on January 20, the acquisition of Jiahe officially ended.

The next day, the Xiangjiang Federation Exchange issued an announcement that Century Peak successfully acquired 89.96% of Jiahe's shares as of 4 pm yesterday. According to the Xiangjiang listing rules, Century Peak needs to give up 14% of its shares to ensure 25% of its outstanding shares.

At this point, Century Dingfeng completely completed the acquisition of Jiahe and became the first listed entertainment company. Whether it is Xiangjiang Media or relevant people in the mainland, they predict that Century Dingfeng will merge its high-quality assets to Jiahe and then complete a backdoor listing. Some gossip media even thought of the company's name, called Jiahe Dingfeng.

However, at a press conference held on the 22nd, Jiahe General Manager Qiu Yuanxu denied the statement that Century Summit will go public through backdoor listing, saying that Jiahe will operate and Century Summit will not go public through backdoor listing.

At the press conference, Qiu Yuanxu announced three projects of Jiahe, the comedy "Crazy Travel" co-directed by Ning Hao and Zhou Xingchi. The film is mainly filmed in France, co-produced by Jiahe, Qing Film Studio and France Europa Film; the action film "Reden" directed by Ding Sheng; and the Xiangjiang police and gangster film "Wreak City" directed by Liu Weiqiang.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanxu announced that Jiahe would accelerate the development of mainland theaters. Jiahe Cinemas will appear in cities such as Peking, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Suzhou this and next two years. Jiahe plans to open 50 cinemas in the mainland within five years.

After Jiahe announced a series of plans, Xiangjiang's financial and entertainment media were both bullish on Jiahe's stock price. Jiahe's plan also aroused investors' enthusiasm, and Jiahe's stock price began to rise rapidly.

However, as the boss of Jiahe, Zhang Ran has never appeared. Since the Beijing circle made a joint boycott, Zhang Ran has never appeared in the media again, as if the world has evaporated.

In fact, Zhang Ran did not evaporate in the world, but the second round of statements on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was about to begin, and he was completely obsessed with the modification of the opening ceremony plan.

On January 26, the second round of bidding for the Olympic Opening Ceremony was held in Kuangou, the outskirts of Peking. Five teams entering the second round made statements in turn according to time periods.

Zhang Ran’s team was arranged for the fifth statement, which was 4:30 pm. Zhang Ran’s team was still the four people in the first round this time, Zhang Ran who was responsible for the statement, Lin Ying and Bob Dickinson who were the losers’ technical solutions, and team leader Jin Wei.

Just like last time, Zhang Ran and the others arrived at the location of the Olympic Organizing Committee half an hour in advance and were arranged by the Olympic Organizing Committee staff to wait in the lounge.

At 4:20, the staff came to inform and it was Zhang Ran and the others' turn to state.

Zhang Ran and the others came out of the lounge and ran into Zhang Yimou's team who had just finished their statements and came out of the conference room.

Zhang Yimou also saw Zhang Ran, smiled and greeted, "Zhang Ran, long time no see!"

Although Zhang Ran had a verbal battle with Zhang Weiping not long ago and was also fouled by Zhang Weiping's return of "The Promise", Zhang Weiping is Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou is Zhang Yimou. He smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you should have made a good statement when you look red!"

Zhang Yimou was indeed very satisfied with his statement today. This time he did not ask his partner Wang Chaoge to take over, but personally explained to the big screen. Their plan carefully designed every detail of the opening ceremony. He felt that this bid should be won.

However, Zhang Yimou has never been a very ostentatious person. He said modestly: "I can only say it's careless!" At this point, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Ran and said: "Don't care what those people say. Sometimes some young directors are very depressed when they are scolded. When they call me, I will persuade him: How many people are there in the capital's literary and artistic circles? 3,000? Just these people scold you, are you so depressed? I always advise them like this. But, let alone three or five thousand people, in the capital's literary and artistic circles, if there are 30,000 people who keep scolding you, you can be sentenced to death."

Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Yimou was talking about the Beijing Circle and asked, "Then how did you survive?"

Zhang Yimou said intently: "I know that thirty or fifty people are competing with you. Why do you think the sky is going to fall? You just think you are useless and you are finished? These thirty or fifty people are mentally problematic and like to form cliques! So, I don't believe this at all. As long as you keep bringing out good works, they will have no choice but to do anything to you."

Although Zhang Ran did not take the joint boycott of the Beijing Circle seriously, Zhang Yimou's words still made him feel warm: "Thank you, Director Zhang, I am both shameless and lifeless, and I am not so easily defeated by them!"

After entering the conference room, Zhang Ran saw a row of leaders sitting opposite the conference table. This statement was still chaired by Liu Qi, chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee. However, the judges added the Disabled Persons' Federation compared with the first round, and several leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Sport of China, with a larger lineup.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Zhang Ran, there are many leaders present today, I will introduce you to you!"

"This is the President of Demp, the China Disabled Persons' Federation."

"This is Director Liu Peng, General Administration of Sports."

"This is Minister Liu Dezhong of the Ministry of Culture."

...

These are all big names, and Zhang Ran dared not be negligent and said hello very respectfully. These people also looked at Zhang Ran with a little curious smile. This is Zhang Ran, she is so young.

The statements of the first four teams are good and bad, with highlights and shortcomings, but in general, they all have their own tricks, so the leaders are very looking forward to Zhang Ran’s plan.

The structure of Zhang Ran's plan has not changed. It is still the three chapters of heaven, earth and man, and the program has not made much adjustments. The Tian chapter still talks about culture and civilization. The three programs are still "Tai Chi", "Bronze Warehouses" and "Nichang"; the Earth chapter has some changes, and "Spring River Moon Night" and "Sinan" are retained, and "The Great Wall Moon" is replaced by "Flying Dream". This program talks from Chang'e to Wanhu, and then talks about Chinese astronauts going to heaven to complete the dream of flying heaven for generations; the three programs of the Human chapter are "The Dream of the Boy", "The Builder", and "The Same Earth", but there are many changes in the content, which can even be said to be subversive changes.

In Zhang Ran's plan, starting from tracing the origin of the Chinese nation, there are the Yellow River water, the red kite, the prosperous Tang Dynasty peonies, Yao Ming, Chinese Kung Fu and astronauts, with their thinking jumping, erect and stroking, and using symbolic techniques to show the majestic and solemn artistic conception.

After listening to Zhang Ran’s statement, Liu Qi and the leaders present smiled. Demp-side said approvingly: “Comrade Liu Qi said before that your plan was beyond imagination, really beyond imagination, and a perfect collection of classical culture and modern technology!”

Next, Lin Ying began to make a technical statement. She conducted a detailed analysis and explanation of the various technologies needed for the entire opening ceremony, and issued various relevant data and experimental reports, technically ensuring the operability of the entire plan.

After Lin Ying finished speaking, the leaders present nodded and praised. The whole plan was really feasible.

It was almost six o'clock, and Liu Qi did not mean to leave Zhang Ran and the others for dinner. He smiled and said, "We would like to express our gratitude to your team for their work. After today's statement, 8 judges will score your five teams, and the scoring content will be detailed into 22 items. The team with the highest score will be the winner. We will announce the results at the end of March, thank you!"

After coming out of the conference room, Lin Ying stretched out her hand to Zhang Ran: "I have seen many geniuses. You are not the most genius I have ever seen, but you are the hardest I have ever seen. I have learned a lot when working with you. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate in the future!"

Zhang Ran shook Lin Ying's hand and said, "I have also learned a lot from you, Chinese classical culture, modern art, dance, music, etc. These are a huge asset for my future creation. I hope I can cooperate with you if I have the opportunity!"

From participating in the Olympic bidding to now, Zhang Ran has not used all his strength, but has used 120% or even 150% of the energy. No matter what the final result is, Zhang Ran can accept it calmly and he has done his best.

Of course, Zhang Ran still sincerely hopes that he can win!

In recent days, Zhang Ran only slept for three or four hours a day for bidding plans, and he was seriously lacking in sleep. After returning home, he fell asleep without saying a word.

The next morning, Zhang Ran woke up and turned on the Internet to take a look and found that the entire Internet was in full swing.

Just early this morning, the Oscars announced their nomination list, and Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress for "Memoirs of Geisha". After this news came out, both the Internet and the media caused a sensation.

This is the first time a Chinese actress won the Oscar for Best Actress!

"Zhang Ziyi actually won the Oscar for Best Actress. No, I'm not right?"

"It's really unexpected. Zhang Ziyi was really nominated?"

"Didn't it say that Zhang Ziyi's "Memoirs of Geisha" is so bad that the United States is full of criticism? How did she nominate the Oscar!"

"That's so awesome. Zhang Ziyi actually got the Oscar nomination!"

Zhang Ziyi was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. She was nominated with Reese Witherspoon's "Walk with Songs", Judy Dench's "Mrs. Henderson's Dedication", Charlize Theron's "Northern Storm", and Felicity Hoffman's "Traveling America".

Zhang Ran was a little surprised. In his last life, Zhang Ziyi won many nominations at the Oscar outpost with "Memoirs of Geisha", including the Golden Globe Award, the Actors Union, and the British and Ao nominations. Among them, the nominations of the Actors Union are the most valuable. The nominations of the Actors Union are selected by members of the Actors Union, which is equivalent to being recognized by the entire peer industry. After these nominations, there is a great chance of nominations to be awarded the Oscar, so almost everyone believes that Zhang Ziyi will create the myth of Asian actresses and get the nomination for the Best Actress of the Oscar.

However, the reality is cruel. Keira Knightley was not particularly optimistic before and successfully counterattacked and squeezed out Zhang Ziyi and was nominated. That was the closest Chinese actor to an Oscar nomination.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyi was really nominated this time!

Zhang Ran thought about it and felt that the reason why history was rewritten should be related to Zhang Ziyi's appearance in "Space and Space Warrior". "Space and Space Warrior" made Zhang Ziyi really gain fame in Hollywood and let more Americans know her. Moreover, after training in "Space and Space Warrior", her English was even better. When she was acting in "Memoirs of Geisha", she became much more comfortable and her acting became even better.

With this Oscar nomination, Zhang Ziyi should have been better in Hollywood than in her previous life, but there is no fundamental change. The situation of Asians being discriminated against in Hollywood will not change. Almost all Asian characters are kung fu masters, sexy beauties and other homogeneous vases. Such roles cannot make a name for themselves in Hollywood.

Zhang Ziyi's future doesn't care about Zhang Ran, but she did Zhang Ran a favor by getting the nomination. Zhang Ran believes that the negotiation between Rong Xinda and the other two Bingbing will be much easier.

Sure enough, less than two days later, Zhang Ran received a call from Li Xiaowan: "Zhang Ran, Li Binbin and her sister Li Xue want to meet you and talk to you in person. I wonder when you are free?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "It's going to be tomorrow night!"
Chapter completed!
