.......

Wang Zhonglei hung up the phone and looked at Wang Zhongjun and Feng Pants in surprise.

what's the situation?

Hengyu Media, what do you want to do?

Do you want to start a war with Hua Yi?

No one can answer the trio.

Wang Zhongjun was stunned for a long time before he thought of contacting Fang Ziheng quickly to discuss how to promote the two movies.

Fang Ziheng returned to the office at this time and was explaining some details to Liu Minghui, director of Hengyu's strategic investment department.

After Hengyu laid out its sixth strategic investment, the investment department has been frequently deployed these days and has achieved initial results.

Douyu Live, Nuomi.com, Maoyan Movies, and Zhihu, four platforms have received investment from Hengyu Media.

Douyu and Zhihu belong to the angel round, and Hengyu invested US$5 million each to take 20% of the shares of each of the two platforms.

Among them, financing for Douyu Live is a little more difficult. This platform was conceived by Station A. It is still in the stage of releasing live broadcasts and relies entirely on Station A to deliver traffic.

After Hengyu Media came in, founder Chen Shaojie immediately persuaded Station A owner Cai Dongqing to let Douyu operate independently.

At the same time, Hengyu Live, a game live streaming platform created by Sohu for Hengyu Games, was launched soon after.

After the two platforms go online for a period of time, they will immediately operate live broadcasts of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends" and jointly host the national invitational tournaments for the two games.

Nuomi.com and Maoyan Movies are two software projects that Fang Ziheng has taken a fancy to. He fully acquired them at a high premium and integrated them into the Hengyu Maoyan app.

The newly integrated app is an assisted living platform, with services covering more than a dozen areas such as food, movies, hotels, travel, train tickets, air tickets, recharge, and takeout.

Among the dozen fields, the focus is on expanding into the two major industries of film and food.

Movies, in particular, need to be connected to terminals in theaters across the country to control the accurate box office of released movies in real time.

By achieving this, Hengyu will have a major publicity weapon, which can not only help accurately analyze and predict domestically released movies, but also promote movie projects controlled by Hengyu Media.

With this gadget, audiences can keep up to date with the latest movie developments at any time without leaving their homes.

The movie's reputation, real-time box office, film schedule, and attendance are all at a glance.

After reading the report submitted by the Strategic Investment Department, Fang Ziheng put down the document, glanced at the silent mobile phone on the table, and said with a smile: "Minghui, what did ByteDance say?"

"Having entered the second round of financing negotiations, Zhang Yimin upgraded his studio to a company this time, mainly to speed up the launch time of Toutiao and to develop a 'personalized recommendation engine' for Internet data application."

"Of the 10 million that the company invested previously, Zhang Yimin invested 5 million himself and has been burned. Zhang Yimin is preparing to officially launch the second round of financing in March next year!"

Liu Minghui's eyes sparkled as he recounted the details of his meeting with Zhang Yimin.

"oh.."

"How much is he prepared to raise?"

Fang Ziheng sat up straight and asked urgently.

At the end of 2011, Hengyu was the first to win the angel round investment from Zhang Yimin Studio with 10 million soft sister coins, thereby catching the Bytedance Express.

In the previous life, ByteDance only officially received a 5 million angel round investment from Source Code Capital in March this year.

In September this year, it received US$1 million in Series A financing from Sig Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund.

ByteDance will not launch its third round of financing until September next year.

In this life, due to Fang Ziheng's intervention, ByteDance's development showed a small jump, and the timeline was faster than in the previous life.

It can be predicted that the next few years will be the peak development period of ByteDance. After rounds B, C, D, E and two consecutive rounds of strategic investment, the total valuation reached US$100 billion in March 2020.

Become a veritable unicorn company in China’s Internet field!

In those few years, ByteDance was like a rocket, extremely fierce and no less powerful than Teng Xun and Alibaba.

To be honest, it is good luck for Hengyu to obtain angel investment from ByteDance.

This is due to Fang Ziheng's forward-looking vision and his early move, and also to Zhang Yimin's early start-up and the urgent need to obtain capital recognition.

Things are different now. ByteDance has skipped its initial development, and Zhang Yimin is not so easy to fool.

really..

Liu Minghui's words made Fang Ziheng pause, and he stopped smiling instantly.

"Director Fang, Zhang Yimin only needs 10 million US dollars, and he hopes that the A round of financing will be led by an Internet company!"

"We Hengyu, as a follow-up investor, can keep the corresponding shares!"

such a pity!

Fang Ziheng sighed.

Immediately, he was a little unwilling to give up, stared at Liu Minghui and said: "Well, you make an appointment with Zhang Yimin, I want to have a good talk with him!"

"Okay, Director Fang!"

Liu Minghui's eyes were focused, he nodded and softly agreed.

Although he didn’t know why his boss was optimistic about this small platform, as a subordinate, he never doubted his boss’s forward-looking vision.

Buzzing..

"The sea of ​​suffering stirs up love... In this world, it is difficult to escape fate."

A theme song from Westward Journey started playing from the smartphone on the table.

Fang Ziheng's eyes lit up, he picked up the phone and said to Liu Minghui: "I'll be here today. Minghui, please make an appointment with Zhang Yimin and tell me in advance."

"Okay, Director Fang, I'll take my leave now."

Liu Minghui's heart moved, he got up and went out with a smile.

He guessed that the call should be from Hua Yi.

Just now in Conference Room 1, when he was leaving the meeting after the meeting, he followed Fang Ziheng and heard him swearing to Director Lin that Wang Zhongjun would definitely call.

"Hello."

"Oh, that gust of wind brought Mr. Wang here!"

As he closed the door, Liu Minghui heard Fang Ziheng's cheerful laughter coming from inside, which confirmed his guess.

Naturally, Hua Yi came here to discuss the release date of the two movies.

Wang Zhongjun first complained on the phone, and then changed the topic and complained: "Brother Fang, you are unreasonable. You know that "1942" is in trouble, and you still cut off the evening news as a propaganda platform."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Director Wang, your words are hurtful. The box office of "1942" was 29 million on the first day. Based on the viewing performance of the premiere,

Judging from the results, it has a good reputation and the subsequent box office trend will be stable.

Besides, you have the first-mover advantage. If "Famous 2" wants to catch up, it can only increase investment in publicity, spend a lot of money to appear on the satellite TV evening news, and maintain its poor publicity market share!"

Fang Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly and talked nonsense seriously.

It is impossible to admit it!

In any case, now that Huayi and Hengyu are business friends, there are some things that can only be done but not said.

In addition, it is just a strategy to have "Four Famous 2" appear on the satellite TV evening news in advance.

A strategy to make Hua Yi owe Hengyu a favor!

Next, Fang Ziheng and Wang Zhongjun took turns arguing on the phone. Finally, Hengyu took a step back and gave up a one-minute promotion on the evening news.

Wang Zhongjun shared with Hengyu Media the project "Detective Dee: Dragon King of Gods" that Hua Yi will control next year.

Fang Ziheng grabbed 30% of the share and also served as the producer of Gang's movie!

Feng shui is turning, and it's coming to my house this year.

In the past, it was Wang Zhongjun who ripped off Hengyu, but now it's his turn to let go.

In the previous life, "Detective Dee: The God of Dragon King" was released on December 12 next year, making a box office of 600 million yuan.

If Xu Ke had overly enjoyed himself and paid too much attention to the film's post-production special effects, the total box office would have been even higher.

As long as the script is refined and Xu Ke's restless mind about special effects is controlled, "The Dragon King of God" will definitely be a rare commercial hit.

Fang Ziheng, there is no reason not to take part!

actually..

Fang Ziheng had never thought about taking this opportunity to completely fall out with Hua Yi and embark on the road of encircling and suppressing the big and small king brothers.

He thought about it and decided to let it go before talking about it.

On the one hand, he had deliberately made friends with Huayi before, exchanging projects for Huayi's original shares in exchange for development capital.

On the other hand, Alibaba and Teng Xun entered the industry early due to two globally popular movies, which caused some changes in the entertainment industry structure.

Now is not the time to have a stalemate with Hua Yi.

Before he could go forward and have a quarrel with Hua Yi, Wang Zhongjun was attracted by Ali and Teng Xun.

If this is the case, the project share previously allocated to Huayi by Hengyu Media will be in vain.
