Chapter 435: It’s Over!
Soon, Sister Hua met Lu Pingan on the top floor of Xingchen.
The two are old friends, so there is no need to beat around the bush.
So after Sister Hua finished introducing herself with a stack of actor cards, Lu Pingan asked, "Is Sister Hua happy at Orange Sky?"
Sister Hua was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Director Lu, do you have anything to say?"
"Indeed."
Lu Pingan smiled and nodded.
In the original time and space, Sister Hua left Huayi and joined Orange Sky in 2005.
She will leave again in early 2008 and set up her own company.
During this period, the contradictions between the two people gradually expanded.
Boss Wu was very dissatisfied with Sister Hua's management company. He was afraid that he would become the next "Huayi", so he hurriedly established the "Orange Sky 19" agency to divide Sister Hua's real power.
However, the artists only listened to Sister Hua.
In March 2008, there was news that Sister Hua was leaving Orange Sky.
A month later, Orange Sky's top brother Hu Jun became a citizen of Hong Kong through the "Selection Plan" and established his own film studio, preparing to leave Orange Sky.
In August, Boss Wu wanted to check Sister Hua's account, but was rejected, so he sued Sister Hua.
In the end, Sister Hua left completely.
Now, the situation is not as intense as in the original time and space.
The conflict between Sister Hua and Cheng Tian does not seem to be very big.
At least it seems far from the point of breaking up.
The reason is that Lu Pingan thinks that this is probably related to his Xingchen affecting the development of Cheng Tian.
In the original time and space, after Cheng Tian won Sister Hua, it began to get involved in distribution and cinemas, that is, buying shares of Jiahe. Until the second half of this year, it completely bought all of Zou Huaiwen's shares in Jiahe Cinema Line and established Cheng Tian Jiahe.
In the original time and space, Cheng Tian was established for only a few years, and the pace of expansion can be said to be very smooth.
But in this time and space, because Xingchen is dominating the domestic entertainment, many film companies that are not familiar with Xingchen will naturally encounter many obstacles in their development.
For example, Cheng Tian has failed to communicate with Jiahe to acquire shares many times because Lu Pingan has already made a move.
Although there are still some shares that have not been acquired, the owner of Jiahe, Zou Huaiwen, is not stupid. Unlike Boss Wu, he knows that the small target is Lu Ping'an's company, so compared with the small Japanese company Chengtian, he naturally prefers Lu Ping'an, and even helps Lu Ping'an hide Chengtian.
Chengtian, which failed to successfully expand its distribution and theater territory, is not so confident, so it will not have too much conflict with the "dictatorial" Hua Jie, and it is more tolerant of Hua Jie.
But Chengtian is bad because he shouldn't trip up Lu Ping'an.
Earlier, Hu Qingquan used his capital status to put pressure on a group of producers, and soon locked in the suspects who played tricks some time ago, and Chengtian was one of them.
So Japanese companies really can't be trusted.
Earlier, Chengtian poached Hua Jie from Huayi, and various media such as Sohu suspected Japanese capital and other reasons, and conspiracy theories were rampant.
Now it seems that it is better to believe it.
In this case, Lu Ping'an must take action.
From the upper financial to the lower business side, everything that can be taken should be taken away by him.
On the business side, Sister Hua is just in time now.
"Are you interested in starting a company with us? You can do whatever you want with the new company. I won't interfere."
Lu Ping'an showed his hand directly.
Sister Hua was obviously moved after hearing this.
She had wanted to join Lu Ping'an's Xingchen earlier, but Xingchen's structure was special and they failed to cooperate.
Now Xingchen's strength is far beyond the past, and her own strength is also far beyond the past.
To join Xingchen, it is actually something worth considering for Sister Hua.
As a result, Lu Ping'an said to set up a separate company, and resources can be shared without interference.
This is a more relaxed condition than simply joining!
This is what he said in terms of interests, and from a personal perspective, this is more attractive to her.
At present, she is not doing very well in Chengtian.
As the number one agent in China, she has her own way of working.
But Chengtian does not agree with her very much, thinking that she is "dictatorial" and has snatched the right to speak from the original team of Chengtian, which has caused the contradictions to accumulate a lot.
In her opinion, even if Lu Ping'an didn't propose cooperation, she would definitely find a way to get out of it in a few days.
So now, since Lu Ping'an said so, they can naturally have a good chat.
As for the cooperation with artists.
This matter couldn't be simpler.
If there is a suitable one, let them act.
In the end, they are all Sister Hua's people.
The two chatted until late at night, and finally Sister Hua mentioned the current layout plan of Chengtian.
In terms of movies, Sister Hua said that Boss Wu might make a big move next: "It's said to be related to Golden Harvest."
After hearing this, Lu Pingan laughed: "Sister Hua, you are selling company secrets."
"It's just a casual chat between friends, and I'm just guessing."
"You guessed it right!"
Lu Pingan gave a thumbs up, and then said, "But he definitely can't do this."
"Are you so sure?"
"Do you think my movie can be widely distributed in Southeast Asia because of what the media said, that it is a simple cooperation with Eagle King and Golden Harvest?"
"Then who are you?"
"I bought Golden Harvest's shares a long time ago, and I will go to Hong Kong tomorrow to buy the last bit of shares."
After hearing this, Sister Hua smiled and shook her head: "I should have thought of it earlier."
In the end, the two discussed a general idea.
It’s a big deal, it won’t be done so quickly, we have to talk slowly.
But no matter what, it’s certain that Sister Hua will leave Orange Sky, and the rest is just a matter of time.
The next day, Lu Ping’an flew to Hong Kong, and with the help of Xiang Guoqiang, signed the last acquisition agreement with Golden Harvest.
So far, Zou Wenhuai cleared his shares and completely retired, Xingchen completely controlled Golden Harvest, Xingchen Golden Harvest was established, and officially announced.
The industry was shocked.
Xingchen got Golden Harvest, and its strength increased again.
The mainland media praised it as "the handover of the Asian film era has officially changed hands."
Hong Kong people are all nostalgic for "the end of an era."
At this time, the boss of Orange Sky Wu in the mainland was just listening to the good news from Sister Hua.
Sister Hua is invincible, and the artists of her own company will participate in the guest appearance of "Wonderful Night 2", which is a great thing!
But before the good news was digested, thunderbolts came one after another, and the Golden Harvest that he was eyeing was intercepted.
Now, without the channel of Golden Harvest, Orange Sky’s future film and television layout will be even more difficult.
However, like many film and television companies, he quickly thought of other tracks.
For example, brokerage business and TV drama business.
But no one knows.
Lu Ping'an has secretly started a big expansion.
There is the brokerage business that everyone knows now, such as Sister Hua.
There are also future ones, such as the free video streaming website called "AYT" launched on the same day in the mainland and Hong Kong.
And the global film and television drama network broadcasting copyrights reserved by this website have already exceeded 50,000 copies.
Next, just wait for Lu Ping'an to finish the Olympic affairs, and then officially inject fresh blood into film and television dramas.
In addition to these, Lu Ping'an currently has a huge backlog of funds.
There is no way, the financial crisis is coming, and we have to avoid it a little.
Over the years, Lu Ping'an's funds in the stock market have been taken out once a few years ago to buy theaters, build buildings, and make studios.
Subsequent income continues to enter the stock market, and has never been used so far.
As a result, the number is shocking now.
Among them, Penguin alone contributed nearly 30 times the increase.
At that time, Lu Pingan bought nearly 200 million shares of Penguin at a price of less than 4 yuan.
Now the share price of Penguin has exceeded the 100 yuan mark.
This also means that Lu Pingan's stock assets in Penguin alone exceed 24 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Adding the market value of other stocks, the total is close to 60 billion yuan.
Unfortunately, the financial crisis will soon come, and stocks such as Penguin will also fall a lot in the future.
It is necessary to avoid it, but you can't take out too much.
So under Xiang Guoqiang's operation, this time about 800 million US dollars were released from the stock market.
How to use this money?
Of course, buy, buy, buy.
Buy theaters, companies, and copyrights in China
Various layouts to prepare for the future.
During this period, it doesn't prevent him from taking out a little to solve the problem of transportation.
"Old Xiang, go back and pay attention to business jets to see if there are big planes for sale by bankrupt tycoons next year. You can also find one for yourself."
Before leaving Hong Kong, Lu Pingan said to Xiang Guoqiang.
The plane really needs to be arranged. It is really not a problem to always catch flights.
If a foreigner leaves first, where will he, a great director, save his reputation?
"Understood."
Xiang Guoqiang smiled and wrote it down.
