On July 13, a reporter photographed Huang Xiaoming meeting Li Xiaowan at night; on July 14, a media revealed that Lin Xinru visited Zhang Ran in the hospital, and the two chatted for a long time; on July 15, a reporter photographed Cai Yinong secretly meeting Zhang Jizhong...

A series of news and Coke has ruined major media, and various reports have been released one after another. They have conducted in-depth analysis. They all guessed that Zhang Ran now has more than $1 billion and is definitely going to carry out a new round of poaching operations against Huayi. Many media are saying that Huayi is really going to finish this time.

This series of actions at the peak of the world really put a lot of pressure on Huayi, and the Wang brothers really couldn't sit still.

In Huayi's office, Wang Zhong looked very serious and asked, "Brother, what should I do now?"

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a while before saying, "Zhang Ran's recent actions are too big, unlike his style of acting. I suspect he is making a name for himself, and his real target may be Feng Xiaogang!"

Wang Zhonglei was shocked and nodded slowly. There was a joke in the circle that Feng Xiaogang could shake Hua Yi even if he sneezes. Hua Yi cannot do without Feng Xiaogang, but Feng Xiaogang cannot do without Hua Yi.

In 2003, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi did not renew their contract after the contract expired, so they chose to set up their own business and joined forces with Zhang Guoli to establish a company called Taihe Minzhong, each holding 50% of the shares. The two were ambitious and planned to shoot two movies a year and Zhang Guoli to shoot three TV series a year.

After only half a year of hard work, Feng Xiaogang felt that he was too tired to start a company and had to worry about everything himself. He was still comfortable as a simple director and only cared about filming. So he returned to Huayi in 2004 and signed a five-year contract.

Zhang Ran’s company is more professional than Huayi and richer than Huayi. If Zhang Ran throws 200 to 300 million on Feng Xiaogang, can Huayi still retain Feng Xiaogang? If Feng Xiaogang leaves, Huayi will probably be really in danger!

Wang Zhonglei felt a huge crisis and asked, "What should we do now?"

Wang Zhongjun said in a deep voice: "Feng Xiaogang must be tied to Huayi's chariot, and he cannot be allowed to leave. Now Feng Xiaogang has 2.88 million shares, and we will transfer him 4 million shares to make his shareholding ratio reach 6%. In this way, when Huayi goes public, the shares in his hand can be worth hundreds of millions. Not only Feng Xiaogang, we will also increase the shares on a large scale to allow the company's employees and celebrities to hold shares. Tell them that when Huayi goes public, they are all millionaires and billionaires, and tie everyone to Huayi's chariot. If anyone wants to leave Huayi, they must clear the shares!"

Wang Zhonglei felt that this was a good idea: "This is the only way to do it. As long as we can go public, we will have enough funds!

In the next few days, Huayi began to increase capital and expand its shares on a large scale, and the targets were Huayi's employees and contracted stars. In addition to Feng Xiaogang, more than 50 people, including Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Hanyu, obtained Huayi's shares, such as Huang Xiaoming's 1.8 million shares, and the few were as low as Yuan Chun's 30,000 shares. Of course, Huayi also signed an agreement when selling the shares. After the above-mentioned employees or celebrities left Huayi, they needed to clear their equity.

After hearing the news of Huayi's expansion of capital and conversion of shares, Zhang Ran said nothing, but just sneered. Huayi really began to plan to go public, and things were moving in the direction he wanted.

Zhang Ran knows that no matter whether it is film and television companies or other companies, they pay the most attention to performance before listing, because the performance before listing directly determines whether it can be listed and the issuance price of the stock. Many companies do not hesitate to embellish their performance in order to list, and Huayi is no exception. Especially now they are facing the pressure of Zhang Ran’s capital, and they definitely hope to make their performance beautiful so that they can get enough money from the stock market circle.

If a film and television company wants to make its performance impressive enough, the only way is to invest in more film and television dramas. However, to invest in more films, it requires more funds. Huayi has limited funds, so Huayi will definitely raise funds. This is the opportunity Zhang Ran is waiting for. He plans to use Huayi financing to make a plan, just like CITIC did to eliminate South Beauty, so Huayi died on the threshold of listing.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this game. It requires a strong helper and constantly put pressure on Huayi. Moreover, any problems may fail before Huayi enters the game. However, Zhang Ran is very confident about this, because Wang Zhongjun has always claimed to be a master of capital operation. This time Zhang Ran wanted to let him die in capital operation, and those who drowned are often water-like.

The next key point of this game is Huayi's two key movies "Night Banquet" and "Mo Attack" in the second half of the year. The investment amounts of the two movies are US$20 million and US$16 million respectively, and the cost is very high. As long as you can successfully snipe these two movies, Huayi will definitely raise funds on a large scale.

There is still some time before the movie is released, so Zhang Ran is not in a hurry to do anything. His current focus is on the creativity of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The creative team of the opening ceremony on September 5th must report to the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee, so a more detailed opening ceremony plan must be presented before September 5th.

At this time, "Golden Armor" had completed the filming of Wulong and returned to Peking. After Zhang Yimou made a brief arrangement of the post-production work of the movie, he appeared in Zhang Ran's ward with a creative team. In the past week, Zhang Ran's ward has become a temporary office of the creative team, and a group of people came to Zhang Ran's ward for meetings on time every day.

The creative team has also come up with many good ideas in the past month, among which Zhang Yimou's smiley face has been praised unanimously. Zhang Ran also likes this idea very much. Children represent the future. Thousands of smiling faces of children of different skin colors are like flowers blooming, which brings the world closer to the distance, and also conveys the same world and the same dream, sharing peace and common development!

However, there is a very important question now in front of the creative team, whether to use large LEDs on the ground. Zhang Ran definitely hopes to use LEDs, but the opposition is very fierce. Two-thirds of the people oppose using LEDs. The creative team held several meetings and couldn't decide.

Chen Weiya is a firm opponent of LED: "I never like LED. I think he is just neon lights flashing on the ground. The effect is not good when we watch the scene several times. We privately say that it looks like neon lights, like a bar!"

Lu Jiankang was also a staunch opponent: "These LED screens will have to withstand repeated tramplings from more than 30,000 people, and there are various large props up and down. Can you ensure that the LED screen will not have any problems? What if the screen is black at that time? Then the whole world will know that you have black at that time!"

Others who opposed LED also spoke: "The disadvantages of LED, its safety is too problematic. Its long-term stampede, vibration, rain, etc. We were going to start the event in Xi'an last year, and there was still a large piece of it not lit up! This thing, the whole world will know that you have a black screen!"

"Why are the ground-shop LEDs not used in previous Olympic Games? At most, it is used on a small scale. Is it because it has no money? It must be that there are many problems with LEDs!"

Zhang Yimou's team is a supporter of LEDs, and Wang Chaoge has used LEDs: "Our impression series is more than 100 square meters underwater, and it is also a lifting LED. It is used every day, and there is no problem. Everyone can see this thing, and the visual effect it brings is not comparable to traditional observation performances!"

Zhang Ran expressed support for Wang Chaoge's words: "If there is no image interaction, then our entire performance is a traditional group gymnastics model, which is the same thing, and it is difficult to satisfy the audience, and we lose the feeling of entering the digital age. Using LEDs does have great risks, but the visual impact it brings is definitely not comparable to traditional performances. I think this is a risk worth taking!"

Chen Weiya retorted: "That's right, but if the screen is blacked out then, how can you explain to the people of the whole country? You can't explain it! This is the Olympics, not other performances. It doesn't matter if it didn't perform well this time. There is still another game. If there is a problem, there will be no chance to correct it! Who dares to pat your chest and say that there will be no problem then!"

Zhang Ran wanted to pat his chest and said that the screen would never be black, but he couldn't make a promise. The nearly 20,000 square meters of floor can be opened, closed, lifted, and carried 60,000 LED screens. These LED screens have to undergo repeated tramplings by more than 30,000 people. It is normal for problems to occur.

In fact, there is indeed a black screen at the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics. During the two performances of Stars and Tai Chi, there is a black screen in the upper right corner of the led. However, because it is not very obvious and disappears quickly, most viewers did not notice it. But what if there is a large area of ​​black screen? How to explain it to the audience across the country?

Zhang Yimou also knew the risk was high, but he insisted: "No one can guarantee whether the signal would be cut off in the first three and a half hours of cushion performance. At that time, the signal would be cut off when the first game was pulled up. Who would go through the maintenance? It is impossible to repair it! This performance has been under the audience's eyelids. How do you repair it? After three and a half hours of performance, the signal can be continuously connected. What kind of LED is this? If you think about it carefully, it will be a nightmare, but I think it should still be used. The whole world has only one chance to do this in a large square. From now on, other countries will go towards the king. He will hit our arms when he walks in this direction. It will be difficult to surpass us. We are unique in the world!"

Chen Weiya immediately raised a new question: "In addition to risks, there is also a budget. Our total budget is only 800 million, and it may take tens of millions to use LEDs on a large scale. Is this money worth spending? Have you considered the budget?"

Yu Jianping is the leader of the technical team. In the past few days, he checked the relevant data and said: "According to our concept, LEDs must be at least 8,000 square meters, and the price is 30 million, so the budget will definitely exceed the budget. There is another bigger problem. There is very few LED screens in China that can produce such LED screens, and the production capacity is low. It takes about 6 months to produce 5,000 square meters. If it is 8,000 square meters, it will take 10 months. Now it is about August, and it is only two years away from the opening ceremony. If we use LEDs, we have to open bidding, and then we have to do various tramplings and rainwater soaking tests, including the ten months of production, as well as installation and debugging, how much time will there be to practice with the actors?"

The whole scene was silent. There were too many problems with using LEDs, and the risks were too great.

However, Zhang Ran was unwilling to give up. The LED that everyone imagined is more than 200 meters long, which is larger than the LEDs at the opening ceremony he remembered. So he suggested: "The LEDs can be changed to smaller to 5,000 square meters, which can save money and time."

Reducing the LED to reduce costs and production cycles, but the risk problem has not been solved, and the voices against LED are still strong. In the following days, the creative team held several discussions, but this issue was never confirmed.

Zhang Ran was really frustrated. He knew that he had to go to the led, but he couldn't convince everyone. The most important thing is that who he and Zhang Yimou directed was not decided yet, otherwise he would have made the decision to go to the led. Just when Zhang Ran was almost out of his way, an Ana Wentour phone call inspired him...
