If it is controversial to select Yan Guo's best director,

Some people would choose Ang Lee, who has won the most Oscar nominations for his masterpieces "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust, Caution";

Some people will also choose Wong Kar-wai, who is extremely influential in the Chinese film industry and even the world film industry;

even,

Others will choose the new generation of talented directors, each of whose works can be called a classic, such as Jiang Wen whose masterpiece "Let the Bullets Fly";

but.

If we want to talk about a truly "Mr. Big Scene", a great director who has both fame and strength, it must be Director Zhang Yimou.

Representative works: "Red Sorghum", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", etc. I won't go into details.

Just because he served as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in 2008, he showed the world a variety of unique Yanguo elements. The opening ceremony that shocked the world is enough to prove his world-class director level.

but.

Even though he recognized Director Zhang Yimou, Mo Ran quickly reacted and shook his head slightly.

"I'm not a LeTV employee."

"oh?"

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised.

But after a brief pause, he asked again:

"Then you are also a shareholder of 'LeTV Pictures'?"

"Are you here to see what's going on?"

When the words fell this time, the dozen or so celebrities in the hall all looked at Mo Ran.

As Mo Ran guessed, these celebrities have invested a lot of money to invest in "LeTV Pictures". They gathered here today to take advantage of the critical moment of Sunac's investment in "LeTV" to understand the real situation of "LeTV Pictures" now. Condition.

At this moment, when I heard Zhang Yimou asking, I couldn't help but be a little curious about Mo Ran's identity.

"no."

"I was just passing by to take a look."

Mo Ran said calmly.

The words fell,

The celebrities who were still looking forward to Mo Ran's identity immediately turned their heads and continued scrolling through their phones.

Even Zhang Yimou's eyes flashed with disappointment, he opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and said no more.

When Mo Ran saw this, he said no more, turned around and left with Lawyer Wu.

But before taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned around and glanced at the dozen or so celebrities in the entertainment industry in the hall.

Finally, his eyes fell on Zhang Yimou again.

"Old Wu, write down my phone number and give it to Director Zhang."

"If he wants it, give it to him. If he doesn't want it, forget it."

"Um."

Lawyer Wu didn't ask any further questions, and immediately took out the pen he carried with him and wrote down Mo Ran's personal phone number in his notebook, and then tore off the paper.

He quickly walked to Zhang Yimou. The assistant on the side wanted to stop him, but Zhang Yimou immediately signaled to let him go.

The movement at the scene obviously attracted the attention of other people in the hall again. Everyone looked at the note paper in Lawyer Wu's hand and then at Zhang Yimou, and they were all secretly surprised.

What surprised everyone was not that Lawyer Wu came back. What surprised them was that Lawyer Wu actually took a piece of note paper, wrote a phone number and handed it to Director Zhang Yimou.

To know,

After all, Director Zhang is also one of the most famous directors in the Yan Kingdom, and there are countless people who want to know him.

Logically speaking, when these people see Director Zhang, they would at least respectfully hand over their business cards and introduce themselves, but this person in front of them...

Everyone subconsciously looked at Mo Ran outside the door.

But the man in front of him asked his assistant to casually write a phone call to Zhang Yimou, Director Zhang. It didn't seem like he wanted to get to know Director Zhang at all, it felt more like...?

Can you give me some guidance?

Call me if you need anything?

hiss……

Those who can work in the entertainment industry are all human beings. Seeing Mo Ran being so calm and casual, everyone couldn't help but speculate about Mo Ran's identity.

Zhang Yimou was obviously a little surprised. He looked at the phone number on the note, looked up at Mo Ran from afar, and finally picked it up after hesitating for a moment.

A smile appeared on Mo Ran's lips, and soon Lawyer Wu came back.

"Mr. Mo, I have already given it to Director Zhang."

"Well, let's go."

After saying this, Mo Ran walked to the elevator and walked out of the LeTV Building without any further delay.

…

Meeting Zhang Yimou and Director Zhang was just a small incident, and Mo Ran's sudden phone call was just a matter of effort.

Compared to other stars in the entertainment industry, he still has a good impression of Director Zhang.

but.

He was not sure whether Zhang Yimou would contact him. He had already done what he could do, and the rest depended on fate.

The two quickly returned to the hotel not far from the LeTV Building. The "LeTV Copyright Buyout" trip was fruitful and went very smoothly. As soon as they returned to the hotel, Mo Ran booked a flight ticket and prepared to return to Chengdu tomorrow.

"Mr. Mo, aren't you waiting for the final result of the negotiations between LeTV and Sunac?"

"No."

Mo Ran shook his head,

Although the negotiations between LeTV and Sunac are still continuing, it has nothing to do with him. He has already got everything he wants.

and.

He has been busy with this matter since the Chinese New Year. There are already a lot of things at Nietzsche's headquarters that he needs to go back to deal with, and there is no time to delay.

"Okay, let's have an early dinner and have a good rest then."

"Um."

The two of them were talking, and Mo Ran also knew that Lawyer Wu was exhausted these past few days. He was just about to find a restaurant online for a good meal, when his phone suddenly rang as soon as he took it out.

It's an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Hi, hello, I'm Zhang Yimou."

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment. After a moment, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he looked at the time and realized that it had only been an hour since he left LeTV.

Director Zhang called over so quickly.

Mo Ran smiled.

"Hello, Director Zhang. I have long admired your name. What do you want?"

"You're welcome. Your assistant told me earlier that I can call you if I need anything."

"I do have something I would like to consult now."

"Is it about LeTV Pictures?"

After the words fell, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a moment, he answered slowly.

"Yes."

Mo Ran laughed twice, and did not embarrass Zhang Yimou any more, but suddenly his tone tightened.

"I do know something."

There was silence for a moment again on the other end of the phone, and this time it took several seconds before another voice came.

"In this case, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly on the phone. How about we have a meal together?"

"Call your assistant, I'll book a private room, and we can chat while we eat?"

Mo Ran thought for a moment and didn't refuse.

"Add me on WeChat and send your location. I'll be there shortly."

"But...it's best to be closer."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Lawyer Wu looked at Mo Ran in surprise.

"Mr. Mo, did Lao Mouzi really believe you? Did he really call you?"

Mo Ran smiled and raised the "Nietzsche X1" mobile phone in his hand.

"Not only did he call us, he also invited us to dinner."

"real?"

"No...why is this!"

Lawyer Wu sighed in surprise, even though he was already an elite.

But privately, when I calm down, it’s still unbelievable to think that a director of Zhang Yimou’s level could take the initiative to invite him to have a meal.

but.

His surprise soon turned to praise.

"Mr. Mo, you are so awesome!"

"This is the top director in our Yan Kingdom. I've seen all the movies he made, and I can be considered a fan of his!"

"Tell me, can I take a photo with him later?"

"it should be OK!"

Mo Ran smiled.

In fact, it was unexpected but reasonable that Director Zhang could contact him so quickly.

An internationally renowned director like Director Zhang has long been a master of people and looks at people like a torch. He should have seen some clues from his previous actions on the phone.

Besides, a meal is nothing to him.

"Tidy up, let's get ready to go."

Half an hour later.

"Xishui" private room of "Yuhong Pavilion" restaurant.

Mo Ran and Lawyer Wu pushed open the door and entered. Zhang Yimou was already waiting in the room.

Next to him is another assistant from his previous group.

After a few simple greetings and two cups of Maotai, the four of them sat together and the atmosphere gradually became familiar.

When the dishes were all served, the assistant made an excuse to dismiss the waiter in the private room, and Mo Ran knew that business was about to come down.

"Mr. Mo, you just said on the phone that you know something about 'LeTV Pictures'; I really want to know the real situation of 'LeTV Pictures' now..."

"I wonder if you have any information in this regard?"

Mo Ran put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth gently.

"Actually, I know what you want to ask."

"I checked on the way here just now. You invested 30 million to subscribe for 1% of the equity of 'LeTV Pictures' a few years ago, right?"

"right."

Mo Ran looked at Zhang Yimou.

"First of all, I can tell you clearly that 99% of the equity transaction between Sunac and LeTV will be completed, probably within the next few days."

"According to the information I know, Sunac will purchase 20% of the equity of 'LeTV Pictures' for about 1.1 billion. After calculation, 1% of your equity can be worth 55 million."

“You made a lot more money than you did in previous years when you bought it.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

"but."

Mo Ran shook his head gently.

"But...I suggest you that now is your last chance."

"Hurry up. While there are still people who are optimistic about Sunac's investment in LeTV, we will sell all the shares of LeTV in the past few days and exchange them for cash."

ah? !

Just these few days?

Sell ​​out LeTV? !

Director Zhang was quite happy to hear that he had made a lot of money.

But he suddenly became nervous again.

He frowned slightly, filled a glass of wine for Mo Ran himself, and whispered:

“I’m listening to a lot of people these days.”

"There are some who are not optimistic about Sunac's investment in LeTV, and there are also those who are optimistic about the prospects of Sunac's investment in LeTV, but overall, they are more optimistic."

"You are the first person I have heard to be so impatient and definitely not optimistic about LeTV's future..."

"Now the market is saying that Sunac will invest 15 billion. I think no matter how much 15 billion it is, it can sustain it for a while, right?"

Mo Ran gently picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

If he remembers correctly, just half a month after Sunac Real Estate took over LeTV, Sunac CEO Sun Hongbin said that he was willing to sell all LeTV shares at a 20% discount.

In just 15 days, it lost 4 billion yuan at a 80% discount. You can only imagine how bad LeTV's situation has become.

It was at that time,

Everyone in the market realizes that LeTV's situation has deteriorated to the point where it can't even make a splash with 15 billion.

Mo Ran put down his wine glass.

Just when Zhang Yimou had a solemn look on his face and was about to listen to his next explanation, he was no longer willing to say more and just replied lightly:

“What other people think doesn’t matter.”

"I've given you my opinion, believe it or not."

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, not expecting Mo Ran to stop suddenly.

He wanted to try to ask again, but Mo Ran waved his hand.

Lawyer Wu on the side saw this, coughed slightly and said:

"Director Zhang, Mr. Mo does know more information than you do."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Mo and I went to LeTV Tower today..."

As he said that, Lawyer Wu glanced at Mo Ran. Seeing that Mo Ran had no objection, he revealed a little more.

"Mr. Mo and I went to LeTV Tower today. We actually made some deals with LeTV... We obviously know more than you do."

"But please understand that we can't go into details."

At this time, Zhang Yimou already knew that Mo Ran was the owner of Nietzsche Mobile and had no doubts about what Lawyer Wu said.

He instantly remembered the scene of today's meeting.

Opposite "LeTV Pictures" is the "LeTV Copyright" department. Could it be...

Are they here to discuss film and television rights with LeTV?

After thinking about it, Zhang Yimou's face became more and more serious. After simply eating for a while, both parties lost interest in continuing.

Before leaving.

Zhang Yimou looked at Mo Ran with a serious expression.

"Mr. Mo, I will consider your opinion carefully."

"Anyway, thank you for the reminder."

"Um."

Mo Ran didn't say much anymore. It was up to Director Zhang to decide whether he believed it or not.

…

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Mo Ran and Lawyer Wu returned to Chengdu smoothly.

Mo Ran no longer focused on Sunac and LeTV. After arranging people to go to Beijing to handle the remaining copyright matters, he first learned about the situation of several departments, and then his attention fell on the "Nietzsche TV Platform".

This time, we finally spent 700 million to buy all the copyright resources of LeTV. The next step is to put them on the "Nietzsche TV Platform" and then make full use of the ecosystem to sell TVs.

certainly,

Unlike Accountant Jia who is building a TV ecosystem and wants to make money from TV and platform content, Mo Ran’s current thoughts are——

Platform content is free and money is made from TV.

That afternoon, Mo Ran handed over the copyright content matter to Jiang Lan. This time he planned to promote the "Nietzsche TV Platform" generously.

By the way, you have to cooperate with the huge popularity of "In the Name of the People" and take advantage of it.

The "TV Business Department" started new work content and planned publicity.

The news about Sunac and LeTV also came on the third day.

Not surprisingly,

Sunac finally acquired a majority stake in LeTV for RMB 15 billion, and instantly became a "white knight" praised by everyone on the Internet and in the economic circle.

at the same time.

The market has also begun to become optimistic about the subsequent development of LeTV. With the addition of Sunac Real Estate as a major shareholder, it is obvious that there will be no funding problems in the short term.

Mo Ran glanced at it briefly and stopped paying attention. Now that everything has settled, he can openly promote the film and television content from the "Nietzsche TV Platform"!

only.

Mo Ran's mind flashed, wondering whether Director Zhang Yimou had sold his shares or not?

However, this is not important anymore.

On February 21, the news that 9,000 movies and 100,000 TV series episodes were launched on the "Nietzsche TV Platform" suddenly exploded on the Internet.

Judging from the promotional content, there are many foreign film copyrights such as "Shawshank Redemption" and "House of Cards", as well as domestic classic TV series such as "My Captain, My Group" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

but.

None of this is the most exciting.

The most exciting thing is...

“All Nietzsche TV customers can watch all videos on the ‘Nietzsche TV platform’ for free!”

free? !
