Chapter 251 Utilitarianism, Donations
Chen Jingyuan didn't dwell too much on the matter of Xiao Meng, but instead started thinking about the content of the movie.
The film "The Bravest" differs slightly from the one filmed before the character's rebirth, but the impact is not significant.
The male lead in this movie is also an old acquaintance of Chen Jingyuan.
Huang Xiaoming!
The development over the past two years has been neither particularly good nor particularly bad.
The only downside is that two big-budget productions flopped, which is something Huang Xiaoming finds rather frustrating.
Fortunately, Huang Xiaoming actively sought to participate in the "Blazing Heroes" project.
This is Chen Jingyuan's project, and Huang Xiaoming had already found out about it long ago.
Naturally, we will do our best to secure this project!
Before the tax scandal broke out, Huang Xiaoming had already been confirmed as the main character.
During the premiere ceremony, Huang Xiaoming made a special effort to thank Chen Jingyuan.
The tax evasion scandal has also had a significant impact on Huang Xiaoming, and this project remains crucial for him.
After all, so many top celebrities have been dragged down, and Huang Xiaoming's association with so many companies has also been exposed.
Her popularity is only slightly less than Yang Mi's.
If Huang Xiaoming didn't have good connections, it wouldn't have been so easy to suppress this.
Including live-streaming to help farmers, Huang Xiaoming was among the first to do so, following in Yang Mi's footsteps.
A wise person judges actions, not intentions!
Even if it was somewhat utilitarian, at least we did it, right?
Furthermore, the crew of "The Bravest" had already started filming at that time, and it would be troublesome to replace the actor at the last minute.
The investors behind the scenes also played a role, at least by saying something in their favor.
Huang Xiaoming expressed his gratitude, but Chen Jingyuan felt perfectly at ease.
Less than two days later, the film "The Bravest" began its theatrical release.
The box office reached 1.8 million on the first day, but it started to drop to only 1.2 million on the second day.
It might be due to the weekend!
However, after three days, the box office has already reached nearly 4 million.
This is a very good result, and the reputation is also quite good.
There has been some official promotion, and overall, it is predicted that the box office will exceed 15 billion.
Many investors are undoubtedly very excited, as the profits have at least doubled.
You can make money no matter how much you invest!
The investment cost of "The Bravest" was not low, but making tens of millions was still quite easy.
This is no small amount!
Moreover, the stock prices of many entertainment companies have recovered considerably, although they are still quite good, even though they are not as good as before they were halved.
Huayi is probably the worst off, as its stock price has barely recovered.
Following the official announcement, Huayi's stock price fell again.
The celebrities exposed have quite a few connections with Huayi Brothers, which naturally has a significant impact.
There have been various rumors circulating, such as Huayi paying a fine exceeding ten figures this time.
In short, there were both true and false claims, but they still had a significant impact on Huayi's stock price.
Of course, many entertainment companies were more gloating, after all, Huayi was the originator of the dual contracts.
If Huayi hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have been implicated.
Yang Mi probably harbors the most resentment towards Huayi.
He was already a top national celebrity, but he almost faded into obscurity because of a scandal.
Not to mention that Jiaxing's market value is not like that of listed companies, which is relatively easier to recover.
Currently, Jiaxing's market value is still declining, making an IPO impossible.
Capital investment in Jiaxing is simply for the purpose of going public and cashing out; if it can't go public, then it has little value at all.
Especially now that the entertainment market is clearly on a downward trend!
For all these reasons, Yang Mi is definitely the one who hates Huayi the most.
However, Huayi's bad luck didn't end there, because just five days after "The Bravest" was released.
Wang Juan, in her capacity as Vice President of Tencent Penguin Pictures, held a press conference in Shanghai.
The main announcement is about the variety show "Five Ha" (五哈), and the plot is heating up: Update, come and check it out! Including the departure of several original regular guests from "Running Man".
It's worth noting that Running Man is a top-tier national variety show, so its popularity goes without saying.
"Really? Brother Chao is actually leaving Running Man!"
"No way! What's the point of Running Man without these regular cast members?"
"Changing the guests on a variety show is basically the end of the show."
.....
This incident sparked a lot of discussion among netizens, with many expressing their pessimism.
Changing guests can have a significant impact on a popular variety show, let alone when several guests are changed in succession.
In addition, some netizens had a rather peculiar point of view: why wasn't this press conference hosted by President Chen?
It's hard not to pay attention to Chen Jingyuan because he's so popular!
Chen Jingyuan was not actually in Shanghai, but had already returned to Shenzhen.
On the one hand, there are many projects that need to be released soon, which requires close monitoring.
On the other hand, there is the 35th anniversary celebration of Shenzhen University, which is scheduled for late September.
Some prominent alumni of Shenzhen University within Tencent are also preparing to donate funds to establish the Shenzhen University Talent Fund.
It is mainly used to hire renowned professors and fund students' further studies, etc.
It is mainly used to hire renowned professors and fund students' further studies, etc.
As the person in charge of Tencent, Pony Ma immediately donated 2 small goals, and other Tencent founders also donated 50 million yuan.
Chen Jingyuan is now a well-known alumnus, so he certainly can't be stingy.
After careful consideration, he donated 30 million yuan, less than some of the founders of Tencent but more than many alumni.
This amount is actually quite high, especially considering that Chen Jingyuan has only been out of school for a few years.
Moreover, Chen Jingyuan's help to Shenzhen University is not limited to donations.
The blue ocean strategy proposed by Guoai Games previously benefited many teachers at Shenzhen University.
Chen Jingyuan felt that he was just as popular at Shenzhen University as Little Ma.
Most importantly, Shenzhen University has been inviting me to give a lecture every year.
It's because Chen Jingyuan's previous lectures were so successful that Shenzhen University gained considerable fame as a result.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan had no intention of giving a second lecture.
He doesn't mind revealing some of his wealth secrets, but the problem is that he's likely to be sanctioned by the authorities.
After all, if he were to recommend a particular stock now, a lot of people would definitely buy it.
Even if there are problems, it can't stop the trust of many netizens.
Naturally, Chen Jingyuan dared not say anything easily!
at the same time!
The situation within Huayi was far from peaceful, with official announcements and changes to the Running Man cast, among other things.
Huayi has not participated in many profitable projects, which means it has fallen behind step by step.
In contrast, the two Wang brothers originally intended to salvage their stock.
Unfortunately, there was just too much negative news, and the downward trend in the stock price was unstoppable.
Originally, Huayi should have had a market value of over 10 billion yuan at this point in time, but now it's less than 8 billion yuan.
At its peak, Huayi Brothers' market value was nearly 100 billion yuan, making it the first listed company in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The result is now a complete mess!
Fortunately, the two brothers still had some resources, such as having previously purchased a lot of antiques and other valuables.
We can get through this!
The key issue is the gap between the current situation and the past, while other entertainment companies have largely recovered.
Although it wasn't as good as it was at its peak, it was still quite good, but Huayi itself fell to rock bottom.
No one would feel at ease in that situation!
Many people used to give the two brothers face, but now that's no longer the case.
The two brothers were still quite angry about the penguins kicking them when they were down, but the problem was they were powerless to do anything about it.
Even at the peak of Huayi's market value, there was not much that could be done against Tencent.
Especially now!
The two brothers had considered targeting Chen Jingyuan personally.
The problem is that Chen Jingyuan is not only the vice president of Tencent, but also a top billionaire with billions in assets, which is highly valued by Pony Ma!
Targeting individuals is simply not feasible; one wrong move and you could face a counterattack from Tencent.
Huayi can't afford any more setbacks right now!
