Chapter 613 Market Value

"The Capital International Film Festival is about to open again?"

After lunch, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were walking their dogs outside to digest their food when they received a call from their superiors.

During the second session of the previous year, he was invited to attend the "Chinese and Foreign Directors Forum" of the Capital International Film Festival, and he only attended this event.

That time, the leaders simply forced the event to be held, calling the domestic film industry to compete with the Hollywood camp, in order to elevate the status of the Capital International Film Festival.

But the result was not good, and it can even be described as a mess.

The Hollywood directors headed by James Cameron only said some "flattering" words on it.

Afterwards, they took over the special effects and production business of many mainland films and many production companies in the next few years.

And Chen Kaige, the representative of domestic directors and the Golden Palm director, was only concerned with pretending to be cool the whole time.

Afterwards, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai and others complained about the censorship mechanism on Weibo and flattered foreigners.

Complaining about why Hollywood ghost movies, horror movies and supernatural movies can be shown, but such movies from the mainland are prohibited from entering theaters!

After that "Chinese and Foreign Directors Forum", except for those from Hollywood, almost all mainland directors were very unhappy, of course, except Chen Kaige who had nothing to do with it.

"Don't just care about the three major European films and Oscars every day, but also pay attention to domestic film festivals.

This year is the fourth session. I sent an invitation letter to your company at the beginning of the month, but there has been no reply until now. The opening will be the day after tomorrow."

The phone was on speakerphone, and La Peikang's words were clear and loud. Lin Nan's expression was a little speechless.

Liu Yifei poked Lin Nan's arm with her finger on the side, and smiled and whispered: "Maybe it was thrown into the trash can a long time ago..."

"Okay, I won't force you to come to the red carpet for the opening ceremony.

But after all, you are the only person in the mainland who has won an Oscar. Take some time to come and show up after the opening. There are many foreign filmmakers."

"Well, no problem, Mr. La."

Lin Nan agreed with a smile. That little golden man for original screenplay is quite troublesome.

The Capital International Film Festival has the word "international" in its title, but it's really empty, so Lin Nan didn't take it to heart. It's normal not to remember it.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan shook his head, "This is an extra task. Hey, who is the chairman of the jury?"

"It seems to be Director Wu Yusen." Liu Yifei thought for a while and answered.

"There's no one here, why is it him again?"

...

"My Deskmate", "Rebirth: Frozen Gate", "Hypnotist" and other movies are already building momentum for the premieres in a few days.

However, the headlines in the film and television industry are not these movies and the upcoming May Day schedule, but Tangren's TV series.

Among the hot searches on Weibo, Tangren can occupy four out of ten news, and the content is either Liu Shishi or "Step by Step".

Whether the press release was bought or not, it must be the one who knows it best, and outsiders can only guess. But for Tangren Company, there is a tacit understanding in the circle, and it must have been bought!

In the afternoon, Cai Yinong personally led the team, Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong, Jiang Jinfu and others, to hold the premiere press conference in the capital.

At the scene, she shouted the propaganda slogan when facing the media interview, and she was also sarcastic:

"As the sequel to "Startling by Each Step", "Startling by Each Step" surpasses the previous work in all aspects, and the plot and quality are also better, more sincere and more complete.

This drama must be a hit drama. The most important thing is: Tangren respects originality and copyright, and we never plagiarize!"

Good guy, let's not talk about whether Cai Yinong's promotion of "Startling by Each Step" is exaggerated and fooling the audience.

But everyone heard this last sentence clearly.

This is to point to Yu Zheng's name, taking advantage of Qiong Yao's accusation of plagiarism, and implicitly satirizing the things of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Startling by Each Step".

Even if you Tangren got the copyright, what? It doesn't matter. I can copy it. It doesn't matter if the quality is a little worse, as long as it is broadcast before you!

At night, Lin Nan went to bed early to save himself from staring at the news late at night.

At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you can naturally see the complete data information of Weibo's first day on Nasdaq, from opening to closing!

Overnight.

Starting from six o'clock in the morning, the headlines of the media were given to the Capital International Film Festival, and there were even special sections.

In addition, a large number of reporters squatted at the Capital Airport, and the Internet continued to update photos of foreign crews, filmmakers, actors and stars.

From the day before the opening ceremony, that is, today, to the day of the closing ceremony, foreign filmmakers will arrive one after another, but fewer and fewer.

At half past eight, Lin Nan was already sitting at the dining table to eat breakfast.

As usual, Liu Xiaoli had a regular diet and finished eating around half past seven. Next was Lin Nan, and finally Liu Yifei, who had not yet gotten up.

Generally speaking, as long as Miss Liu has no announcement or is not in the crew, the order of eating breakfast will basically not change, and she will always be the last one.

Resisting the urge to read the news of Nasdaq, Lin Nan flipped through the film and television information:

"The film "The Crossing", jointly produced by China Film, Xiaoma, Huayi, LeTV, and Youzu, and directed by Wu Yusen, held a wrap-up press conference in Beijing at 8 am."

"Director Wu Yusen and the leading actors Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, and Song Hye Kyo attended the wrap-up press conference and announced on the spot: "The Crossing (Part 1)" is officially scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday and will be released on December 2."

"La Peikang, chairman of China Film Group Corporation, said: Chinese-language films have entered the era of 2 billion yuan in box office. As the "Titanic" of the East, the total box office of "The Taiping" will also hit 2 billion yuan!"

"Director Wu Yusen is confident about the box office. He bluntly said that "The Wheel" is an epic disaster romance blockbuster, and the box office of 2 billion is not a problem..."

…

Lin Nan laughed. Let's not mention the strength of the Hong Kong director. Anyway, everyone was full of words when speaking, leaving no room for anything.

Mainland directors should really learn from this.

This year's Lunar New Year festival is becoming more and more lively, with Jiang Wen, Wu Yusen... and several great directors.

Lin Nan remembered Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun's film "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life", which seemed to have been filmed during the Lunar New Year period.

After checking the news for a while, Lin Nan put down her phone and began to concentrate on eating, which was already cold.

"Lin Nan, wake up Sissi later. I'm going out first."

Liu Xiaoli carried her bag and ordered as she walked past Lin Nan.

There is a classical stage play at the Poly Theater today, and Liu Xiaoli is going to watch the performance.

"Okay, I'll call her after I finish eating and let her sleep a little longer." Lin Nan agreed with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli smiled silently, but was very satisfied with Lin Nan's attitude, and then went out to the garage.

Ten minutes later, Lin Nan was about to get up and go to the second floor. Suddenly, a series of text messages popped in, and a call reminder from Ning Hao popped up on the phone interface.

He subconsciously connected and clicked on the speakerphone, and then, Ning Hao's loud voice came out:

"Lin Nan, your uncle is such a wealthy person. I'm so envious of you..."

At this moment, Lin Nan couldn't guess what was going on.

The summary news after Nasdaq's first day of trading is back!

He hurriedly interrupted Ning Hao's chattering and envious words, hung up the phone, and ignored the text messages and calls that continued to come in.

Lin Nan opened Weibo and suddenly saw Weibo's summary of the first day's news on Nasdaq appearing in the hot search!

"Weibo, officially listed on Nasdaq yesterday!"

"At the beginning of the opening, the stock price fell below the issue price of US$17, starting at US$16.7..."

"Weibo has great stamina. When the market closed at 9 a.m. Beijing time and 8 p.m. New York time, the stock price closed at US$20.24, with a peak of US$24.48."

“On the first day of listing, Weibo’s share price rose 19.06%, with a market value of US$4.2 billion, approximately RMB 26 billion!”

…

Lin Nan watched the news, and his heartbeat slowly slowed down.

He heard Cao Guowei say that the Weibo team's original goal was to have a market value of US$7-8 billion when the market closed on the first day, one-third of Twitter's.

However, the overall environment for U.S. stocks is still a bit sluggish, with only half of the expected target achieved.

But now the market value is already very good. After all, Weibo has unparalleled market advantages.

The mobile phone on the dining table was still vibrating. It was Wang Changtian at this moment, and Lin Nan replied with a "system message".

His mind was still buzzing and he had forgotten to wake Liu Yifei up. He muttered to himself:

"What is 260 times 12%?"

…

The film and television and entertainment circles have completely exploded.

Under Lin Nan's Weibo and Liu Yifei's Weibo, comments and comments are rapidly refreshing and piling up, and news is also being reported.

"Oh my god, Director Lin's assets have increased by 504 million US dollars!"

"Today the exchange rate is close to 1:6.2..."

"Director Lin, please support me!"

"Is this the most valuable director in the industry? There are only so many who have been exposed to the public."

"Where is Yifei? Where is Yifei? If you are not here, sister, I will take your director Lin away. Well, if you don't say anything, you are tacitly agreeing..."

"Brother Xun, stop shouting, you can't beat Yifei, she has practiced it, I testify!"

"Lin Nan is mad, why am I so uncomfortable?"

"Director Ning, you don't want to say what's on your mind in public. There are too many people, haha..."

"My thighs are thicker!"

"Ha, Sissi, you are a rich woman, you have become a lot richer! When you come to visit the class, remember to bring me more gifts."

…

Liu Yifei was curled up in bed, with only half of her head exposed, her long black hair scattered behind her head, looking at Lin Nan with resentment.

"Don't look at me like that. I was told to wake you up. And I made you sleep for an extra hour. It's already ten o'clock."

Lin Nan smiled and leaned down to pull Miss Liu out of the bed.

As a result, she accidentally pulled her down and fell directly onto the bed.

"Hehe... Either let me sleep a little longer, or you can sleep with me a little longer. Anyway, I can't afford it."

Liu Yifei hugged Lin Nan and acted rogue.

"No, I'm going to be very busy in a while. I'm all on the phone, and my phone is still thrown outside."

Lin Nan was lying on his side, face to face with Liu Yifei, who had just been woken up from bed with a trace of rosy cheeks.

"Huh? The data is back?" Miss Liu responded immediately.

"Guess, how much is my 12% worth now?" Lin Nan said in acquiescence.

"I won't guess, just tell me."

Liu Yifei put her arms around Lin Nan's neck and urged.

"I used to say that I would be your soft rice, but now my dream is too far out of reach.

That 12% stake, based on the closing stock price just now, is worth $504 million. "

Lin Nan touched the tip of Liu Yifei's nose and was almost bitten by her.

"Haha, you still want to live off others, you're dreaming. You're the one who wants to support me, well, only me!"

Liu Yifei laughed loudly, hugged Lin Nan again, and got into his arms.

…………

Outside, film and television industry.

As time passed, the entire film and television industry was lamenting Lin Nan's skyrocketing net worth after going public on Weibo.

Maybe this is only a part of Lin Nan's assets, but it is the only one that is clearly displayed outside, giving people in the industry an unparalleled visual impact.

"Mi Mi, see, this is the charm of a company going public."

Zeng Jia said to Yang Mi excitedly.

"Are you sure we can get to the stage of going public?"

Yang Mi was also very eager. In her impression, Lin Nan used to be a big director, capital, and big boss in the industry.

But now that the number on the Internet is displayed, it has infinitely magnified Lin Nan's image in her heart.

If Jiaxing goes public one day... can she reach that level?

"Yes. Our company's profits are very high. You are the most popular young actress, so you don't have to worry about lack of investment institutions.

In the second half of the year, I will put this matter on the agenda and prepare for Jiaxing Media's first financing..."

Zeng Jia said confidently, and then thought of something else, and his mood became a little lower:

"It's just that it will definitely not be as large as the financing scale of those big companies. However, didn't big companies all start from small companies? Including those listed companies."

Yang Mi nodded, with a firm tone, "That's right, we want to make capital!"

Zeng Jia looked at Yang Mi, "I guess you will be more tired by then."

"It doesn't matter."

…………

"You are really amazing. No one was optimistic about Sina at the beginning, but you invested in them. Who would have thought that Penguin and Sohu actually lost!"

Wang Changtian looked emotional.

"Mr. Wang, please stop giving compliments. I'm really tired of hearing them today. My ears are callused. Haha..."

Lin Nan said half-jokingly and half-showing off.

He had made up his mind long ago that he would not sell a single cent of his Weibo shares and would just wait for dividends every year. The right to speak was the most important.

"When do you think Tudou will make a move?" Wang Changtian suddenly asked.

Lin Nan knew that Wang Changtian was talking about the listing. Tudou was burning too much money and Guangguang was a bit overwhelmed.

"Wait a little longer, this year has just begun. If Mr. Wang feels pressured, can you transfer some shares to me, or I can exchange them for Huayi's shares?"

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Wang Changtian hurriedly shook his head, "I can handle it. What do you mean by this year has just begun?"

"Didn't the higher-ups say last year that they would clear the obstacle of piracy in the film and television industry for the Internet industry within a year? There are only a few months left. The craziest time for the film and television industry is coming."

"Hahaha, tell me, how crazy is it?"

"Once the higher-ups really start, there will be no obstacles from piracy, and the hot money from the Internet will pour in like a dam bursting."

"That's great, Tudou's market valuation will definitely soar and soar!"

"But there may also be a swarm of demons dancing. After all, that is the Internet industry, and the thinking is completely different from ours, such as the recently launched Entertainment Bao by Alibaba, doesn't it sound very magical?"

Lin Nan said in a joking tone.

"It's quite devilish, and he even came to me. I'm not lucky enough to make that kind of 'quick money'."

Wang Changtian said with disdain, and his expression was a little scared, probably because he was tempted.
