Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The movie called "Room" in Shanhe's mind has added some busyness to his life.

Throughout July, Shanhe was busy with preparations for "Joker", Tudou IPO and new books while spending time with his family.

In mid-July, Tudou began communication and negotiations with various Wall Street investment banks and financial securities companies.

At the same time, news began to spread within Chuhe Film and Television Group that Shanhe was preparing to sell the original shares of Tudou to group employees.

This news set off a huge wave in the hearts of all the old employees of Chuhe Film and Television Group.

Is the boss going to pay us?

It is said that when the news that the group planned to merge with Tudou came out last year, this incident triggered active attention and heated discussions among employees within the entire group.

Everyone is amazed by the decision-making and action capabilities of the group’s senior management, and they are very supportive!

Employees within the entire group know that once Tudou is merged by Chuhe Film and Television Group, its future will be bright.

The production and distribution resources of Chuhe Film and Television Group and video websites are naturally complementary. Tudou needs various resources of Chuhe Film and Television Group, and Chuhe Film and Television also needs to have its own media platform like Tudou.

When the news that Tudou.com was acquired by Chuhe Film and Television was confirmed, the entire Chuhe Film and Television Group was filled with joy.

The number one video website in China was just taken down by us!

The development of the group has a new driving force!

In the past year, the development of Tudou has confirmed everyone's predictions.

Tudou has completely revamped its version, cooperated with various crosstalk sketch clubs in Beijing, invested in Happy Twist and other strategies, which greatly supplemented the content production of Tudou's funny short videos.

The advantages of Colorful Light were also fully demonstrated on Tudou.com. Tudou's animation section soon became the largest online gathering place for animation fans in the country.

Homemade comments or short parody videos by anime fans are very popular on Tudou.com.

Coupled with Chuhe Film and Television Group's rich film library and cooperation resources with major TV stations across the country, Tudou.com got rid of the quagmire and difficulties as soon as it joined the Chuhe Film and Television family and began to develop rapidly.

The boss's student-aid documentary provided an excellent opportunity for Tudou's leapfrog development.

Everyone understands that there is no possibility of failure in the IPO of Tudou.com, which has great prospects in the United States!

Now that the boss wants to sell original shares within the group, isn't it clear that he will give everyone rewards and money? Once Tudou is listed on the US stock market, the stock price will definitely soar!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Discussions were in full swing on the internal LAN of Chuhe Film and Television Group.

"Is this reliable? If it is true, then we all have to make a small fortune with the group!"

"I think this is close to ten, and it is in line with the boss's consistent style. I just don't know what the specific regulations are, how many original shares are issued internally, what is the price, and what are the standards for shareholders and shareholding amounts?"

"The boss is wise. I estimate that the old employees will have a certain share, and the price will not be too high. How many times do you think Tudou's stock price will soar on the day it is listed?"

"On the day Youku's stock was issued, it soared 16%. Tudou is no worse than Youku!"

"There is hope!"

…

Yang Liu looked at everyone's discussion on the intranet with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart was filled with excitement and pride.

She is the earliest employee of Chuhe Film and Television and the first general manager.

Ten years ago, when Chuhe Film and Television was first established, there were only a few people and a few guns!

Including myself, everyone thinks that Chuhe Film and Television is just a big toy in the career of Shanhe writer, and it should not make any big noise in the chaotic domestic entertainment industry.

But everything is so smooth and smooth, so incredible!

First, the joining of Ning Hao and his wife gave Chuhe Film and Television a firm foothold. Then, Zhong Lifeng, a strong woman with no shortage of ambition and skills, chose Chuhe Film and Television.

What is even more amazing is that Shanhe has burst out with unparalleled talent in the director's profession, creating miracles one after another.

Chuhe Film and Television followed Shanhe's footsteps naturally and became a monster in the Chinese film and television industry.

Now, she has finally gained a foothold in China's growing film and television market and roared to the world!

After recalling and sighing for a moment, Yang Liu spoke on the intranet:

"Okay, everyone, please stop speculating and fantasizing. I can tell you that this is true, but the specific plan is still under discussion. The matter will not be resolved until Mr. Zhong and the IPO team return to China. The boss and the group will not I would like to express my gratitude to those who have contributed to the development of the group, and please be patient!"

Yang Liu's speech instantly triggered a burst of cheers,

"Manager Yang has spoken and this matter is gone!"

"Mr. Yang is wise, Mr. Zhong is wise, long live the boss!"

"I didn't say anything, the group is quite interesting!"

"I'm looking forward to it. This will be a wealth feast that will shock the whole of China!"

…

At the end of July, "The Instant Universe" completed its eight-week run in North America, with a cumulative box office of US$394 million.

Far surpassing the North American comedy box office record of the original "The Hangover".

European countries ended their screenings last week, and they also collected a total box office of nearly 300 million U.S. dollars.

The screening journey of "The Instant Universe" in various Asian countries is still continuing, but the number of films scheduled has become increasingly scarce.

The total domestic box office of the movie exceeded 1.7 billion yuan, and together with "Journey to Thailand", it completely brought comedy movies to the pinnacle of the domestic film market.

In Neon, "The Instant Universe" also created the pinnacle of comedy drama movies. The cumulative box office in eight weeks has exceeded 16 billion yen, and the box office in the ninth week can still exceed 100 million yen.

The cumulative number of moviegoers in Bangkok has reached 1.2 million, which astonished many local directors in Bangkok.

As of July 30th, "The Universe" has accumulated a total global box office of 114.7 billion!

Incredibly surpassing "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and ranking fourth in the global box office rankings.

So far, Shanhe and Cameron have completed the feat of completing the top four in the global box office rankings.

Many media have listed the films that have exceeded one billion US dollars in global box office so far:

First, "Avatar", directed by James Cameron, total box office - $2,481,500,000.

Second, "Gravity", directed by Shanhe Qiu, total box office - $1,912,100,000.

Third, "Titanic", directed by James Cameron, total box office - $1,843,200,000.

Eleventh, "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", directed by Christopher Nolan, total box office - $1,001,900,000.

There are eleven films in total, and what’s amazing is that four of them are inseparable from Shan He’s creation.

In addition to directing two movies, it is well known that Shanhe is also the father of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

For a time, the name of Shanhe once again resounded throughout the world!

Various gorgeous titles came to his head again,

"Son of God", "Box Office King", "Proud Man of the New Century", "Spokesperson of Chinese Culture" and other titles abound.

Shan He and his "The Instant Universe" set off a storm in the global box office rankings!

Perhaps it is precisely because Shanhe triggered a storm of public opinion at the global box office that Tudou's negotiations on selecting underwriters for this IPO went particularly smoothly.

In less than half a month, Tudou's IPO listing application process has reached the review stage.

Goldman Sachs became the lead underwriter of Tudou's IPO with the most favorable terms, and its joint underwriters were Allen \u0026 Company, Piper Jaffray and Pacific Crown Securities.

In mid-August, Tudou's equity distribution plan was released. Chuhe Film and Television Group holds 58% of the shares and is still Tudou's largest shareholder.

Zhong Lifeng personally holds 3.3% of the shares and becomes the largest private shareholder of Tudou.com, Ning Hao and his wife hold 2.8% of the shares, and Yang Liu holds 2% of the shares.

In addition, Tudou.com internally sold 15 million original shares to Chuhe Film and Television Group at a price of 20 yuan per share.

Several group veterans have purchased the largest amount of original equity.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang each have 400,000 shares, Xu Ke and his wife have 600,000 shares, Tian Xiaopeng has 400,000 shares, Wu Ershan has 200,000 shares, Dumpling has 200,000 shares, Hu Ge has 150,000 shares, Zeng Li has 150,000 shares, and Zhang Songwen has three 10,000 shares, 30,000 shares were collected on Monday...

Old employees within the entire Chuhe Group have a certain amount of equity purchase incentives.

Moreover, Shanhe also invested all 5% of its private equity into Chuhe Group's internal option reward pool, leaving sufficient incentive space for employees.

The IPO of Tudou has always been closely watched by various domestic online and financial media. The original stock feast within Chuhe Film and Television Group was quickly exposed.

Various news about the listing of Tudou.com were suddenly exposed to the public across the country, and the employees of Chuhe Film and Television Group instantly became the envy of the public.

The media's extensive reports and comments have made the eyes of the online melon-eaters brighten and their mouths are itching.

“Whether twenty yuan per share is considered expensive or cheap, I’m confused by the various reports!”

"It must be cheap, too cheap. The issue price of Youku on Nasdaq was US$12.6, the opening price was US$27, and the closing price on the first day was US$34.4. Tudou's stock price is probably not lower than Youku." , you can do the math yourself!”

"Fuck! If you think about it, it has doubled ten times as soon as it went public! Shanhe is throwing money away. Why am I not an employee of Chuhe Film and Television!"

"Let me go, how many billions, tens of millions, and millionaires will be born at Chuhe Film and Television this time? I'm so envious!"

"In terms of arrogance, no one in the country can compare with Shanhe. I guess he really has no idea about money. Making money is so easy for him!"

"If you write a book or make a movie, the income is measured in hundreds of millions, and it's in U.S. dollars! Who are you talking to?"

…

Two media storms of public opinion, the global box office rankings and the original stock of Chuhe Film and Television Group, are raging in the country, and the entire Internet is in an uproar.

Of course, it also spread to the Shanhe family's old house, and the whole family also paid attention and discussed it.

But Shanhe's past is so gorgeous that his family members have been numbed by him!

When the news came, everyone just discussed it at the dinner table and gave Shanhe a few words of praise and support. Xie Meiyu even expressed her dissatisfaction with Shanhe for being too hard-working and too high-profile.

In her opinion, if you have money, you have to keep a low profile and just know it. Anyone who shows off their money everywhere is a fool!

Shanhe is prestigious outside and is the pride of his family at home, but when it comes to daily family life, his status is probably only a little higher than his father Qiu Jiang!

On the surface, he was angry about this situation, but on the inside, he was happy with it, even very happy!

Without family ties, the success and wealth brought by rebirth would be meaningless. Shanhe enjoyed his mother's scolding and discipline very much, because this was his greatest wish when he was reborn:

Protect your family and protect your happiness!

However, his mother's partiality still made him complain. He just said that he was too tossing and too high-profile.

On the other hand, he made preparations for Xiao Xiong'er's future trip to the United States, and gave Shanhe a decree:

Take advantage of this time to go to the United States for filming and buy a suitable private jet to come back!

Shanhe looked at his mother who was taking it for granted, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:

You old man can really say one thing and do another, and have double standards for your son and grandson. You have bought all these things, how can you be so low-key!

At the end of August, Shanhe, who had been at home for more than a month, said goodbye to his son and family, who had been home for half a week, and boarded a flight to Los Angeles again.

The filming plan for "Joker" and the launch of Potato are the next tasks he needs to complete in country M.

After more than half a year of planning and nearly two months of filming preparations, all preparations for "Joker" have come to an end.

Among them, the choice of location and the adjustment of the studio need to be made by the director Shanhe.

Shanhe didn't delay. As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles and adjusted the time difference, he visited Heath Ledger's house.

Whether the movie can start filming on time or not, the status of Heath Ledger as the leading actor is crucial.

From the first moment he saw his friend, Shanhe knew that Heath Ledger was ready.

Losing weight has made Heath Ledger's cheeks more sculpted, his cheekbones are more prominent, and his overall temperament is a bit sluggish and confused. From time to time, his eyes reveal the hesitation and confusion of a low-level person!

It is somewhat similar to the clown in Shanhe's impression, but also somewhat different. After all, each actor has his own characteristics in his perception of the character.

Shanhe was very satisfied. Before filming started, if the actor had a shadow of his character, it meant he was ready. As for the performance, what was needed was on-the-spot inspiration and creativity.

After the two hugged each other and greeted each other, Heath Ledger poured Shan He a cup of coffee.

"Qiu, I'm almost ready. When do you plan to start shooting?"

Shanhe took a sip of coffee and replied with a smile:

"Heath, you are the core character of the movie. The quality of the movie depends largely on your performance. Next, you have to participate in all shooting work with me, including all aspects of framing and shooting. I need your opinion. , because the entire crew is working around the character You!"

"no problem!"

Heath Ledger did not hesitate and directly agreed to Shanhe.

"Qiu, when do we start? I've been waiting for a long time!"

Shanhe nodded,

"OK! We will start shooting and walking tomorrow. Robert De Niro, George Clooney and Zoe Saldana will all play supporting roles in the play!"

"I knew it earlier!"

Heath Ledger took a sip of coffee and said,

"Warner attaches great importance to "Joker". They urgently need you to restore face for DC Comics, even if the Joker is just a negative boss. Qiu, do you know that they once strongly invited me to star in "Green Lantern"!"

"Ha ha…"

Shanhe laughed when he heard this, and then asked casually,

"Why didn't you take the role? This is a superhero with a $200 million investment?"

"The script was terrible! You know I don't like popcorn movies, so it turns out I made the right choice!"

"Wise indeed!"

Shanhe shook his head and smiled, but did not continue the topic.

"Where are Michelle and Pony Shoes?"

"I asked them to go back to Michelle's parents' house in New York. I don't want them to see what I look like now!"

Shan He looked directly into Heath Ledger's eyes and saw no evasion or hesitation in his eyes.

"OK, Heath, we start tomorrow, we have to hurry up, our family needs our company!"

"I understand what you mean! Don't worry!"

…

The next day, Shanhe and the crew began the final preparations before the filming of "Joker" began.

After location scouting, meetings, discussions, various renderings and scene arrangements, the photography team and lighting engineer began to adjust their shooting plans according to Shanhe's requirements.

Ten days later, all departments of the entire crew have completed their preparations. Just waiting for Shanhe's order, "Joker" can start shooting at any time.

Before filming started, Shanhe had one more thing to do first, which was to rush to Times Square in New York to host the bell-ringing ceremony for Tudou.com's listing.

On the afternoon of September 7, Shanhe arrived in New York City. His brother-in-law Michael drove Shanhe off the plane and took him back to Hathaway's parents' home.

After Gerald and Kate gave their son-in-law a hug, they immediately turned the topic to the little bear.

"Qiu, Annie called yesterday and said that Bernier can crawl out of the room by himself. Come and take a look. This is the photo Annie just sent us. What a great guy!"

Shanhe walked over to Gerald's computer and took a look. It was clear that the two of them loved their grandson, Xiao Xiong'er.

The photos of Little Bear on the computer were neatly arranged in folders by date.

From the time Little Bear was born to now, there are thousands of photos, each of which has been carefully sorted. It is obvious at a glance that the two of them often take them out to look at and talk about.

"Gerard, Kate, when Bernie is older, I will bring him and Hathaway to New York to stay with you for a while. He is a very lively child and likes to wander around and wander around. When he grows up, I will definitely come to New York often to annoy you!”

"Haha...we can't wait!"

Kate smiled and replied,

"Qiu, Gerald and Michael have already prepared for their vacation. Only Thomas, the dead boy, has gone to Northern Europe. We are planning to go to the capital at the end of this month. Uncle Michael has not met Bernier yet!"

"That would be great. Anne will be so happy, Kate. She misses you so much, especially after becoming a mother!"

“We miss her and Bernier too!”

…

Under the warm hospitality of his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Shanhe settled down at his father-in-law's house that night.

The next day, Shanhe met Zhong Lifeng and the entire IPO team led by Tudou CEO Chen Rui at Building 4 of Times Square in New York.

Yang Liu, Ning Hao and his wife, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang were also among them.

Tomorrow morning, they will together represent Tudou.com at the Nasdaq Securities Center to make the first announcement of Tudou.com’s listing!

There was naturally a lot of excitement and anticipation among everyone at this time. As soon as they saw the mountains and rivers, everyone cheered.

Among them, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang had the loudest and harshest voices. They were so grateful to Shanhe that they burst into tears!

The conversation between several Tudou executives and Zhong Lifeng on the plane kept the two of them in a state of excitement.

It was difficult to fall asleep in the hotel last night. Huang Bo chatted in Wang Baoqiang's room until midnight.

According to the stock price forecast they heard on the plane, their 400,000 shares of Tudou stock were valued at 20 million U.S. dollars, or more than 100 million yuan!

I can’t imagine how much this money came from. It was almost given to them by Shanhe!

The two of them reminisced about the bitterness and sweetness, and were filled with emotion when they thought of the miserable days!

…

"Baoqiang, no matter how much this stock is worth, we have to keep it. This stock represents not only money, but also our position in Chuhe Film and Television, and our growing years with Chuhe Film and Television. price!"

"These words speak to my heart!"

Wang Baoqiang's eyes were a little red with excitement.

"I often think of the first time I met Shanhe. At that time, I couldn't even earn ten yuan a day, and I was always bullied on the set. Shanhe was already a famous young genius writer at that time, and we both One is in the sky and the other is in the quagmire, but he really didn’t look down on me at all. He let me live in the dormitory of Chuhe Film and Television that day. Hiroko, it was the first time in my life that I lived in such a good room. I cried that night Got it!"

Huang Bo looked at the emotional Wang Baoqiang and patted him on the shoulder.

"The same goes for me. When Yang Liu called me, I was completely stupid. Later when I signed the contract, I still thought, how could Shanhe call my name? Could it be that he discovered the beauty of my soul at a glance, and later I met When it comes to you, I feel at ease. Compared with you, I, Huang Bo, am also a handsome guy!"

"screw you!"

"The day after tomorrow, there will be dozens of billionaires and hundreds of multimillionaires and millionaires in Chuhe Film and Television Group. The boss is really awesome!"

"Making money is just the smallest achievement of Shanhe!"

…

On September 9, 2011, at 9:9 New York time, Shanhe, together with Zhong Lifeng, Yang Liu, Chen Rui, Ning Hao and his wife, pressed the bell button representing Tudou.com's listing on the Nasdaq.

Tudou was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the stock code TUDOU. The issue price was US$24. A total of 18 million M-state depositary shares (ADS) were issued. The IPO raised a total of approximately US$432 million.
