Chapter 427 M&A School Meng(1/2)
“Then why don’t we… stop filming?”
Zhang Yida pretended to regret it. In fact, he had long wanted to make a movie reflecting the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.
The theme has been chosen, the Battle of Talas, Mo Dao slashing at the Arabian cavalry, that scene must have soared the audience's adrenaline.
The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta is just a younger brother.
Shooting a large-scale ancient war film is indeed a very risky thing.
"Kingdom of Heaven", "Alexander the Great", "Trojan Horse", etc. all suffered miserably.
The only ones that made any money were The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Even though it was okay to lose money, Zhang Yida was still afraid that he wouldn't be able to achieve the effect he wanted, and that he wouldn't gain public praise from the audience.
I haven’t heard of anyone in China who is good at making ancient war movies?
The colors of Lao Mouzi are quite good, and the shots of the big waves all over the city are good and dazzling, but the narrative is terrible.
"Don't worry, Mr. Da," Wu Xing said with a smile, "Making an ancient war movie is a high-risk investment for others, but you are different."
"Why am I different?"
Wu Xing laughed and said: "You are a rich man, you can afford to lose."
"Let's have fun, let's make trouble, don't make fun of the RMB."
Wu Xing waved his hand, "I'm just kidding, you have to ask professionals to give you advice when it comes to making movies."
Zhang Yida nodded, a large investment of several hundred million or more certainly cannot be treated as a joke.
Even if it means losing money, it should bring some other effects.
"But your story is quite good. With a few changes, it can be turned into a commercial film. Let's test the waters first."
Wu Xing is a little confused. If you want to talk about urban movies, he can still figure it out by inserting financial management, investment, and loan advertisements.
Isn’t this the right style for ancient movies?
Zhang Yida did not explain too much. He thought of the commercial film launched by UnionPay Cloud QuickPass in his previous life - the last transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty.
This short advertising video has a good reputation online, and many netizens have learned about the story of the white-haired lone soldier of the Anxi Protectorate through this short video.
Some netizens are clamoring for the director to make the movie quickly. If it is actually made, I don’t know if any netizens will support it.
You can copy this path yourself and try it out by shooting a commercial for Mobao Pay first.
At the same time, I also previewed the commercials online to see how the market reacts.
As for whether to make a movie, we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
"I also have a story here, which is slightly different from yours. Listen to it..."
Zhang Yida retold the story of the last money transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty to Wu Xing.
"Haha," Wu Xing said with a smile, "Your advertising idea is pretty good. You can just write it yourself, and why do you need me to ghostwrite it?"
"You won't help, right? Then let others earn the 100,000 yuan."
"No, no, no, brother Da, you are my biological brother. I will help you with this."
Zhang Yida smiled and said nothing.
There are four of them in a dormitory, and I won't say anything about it. Both Li Xu and Zhuang Liang have found well-paying jobs.
Wuxing is still taking the postgraduate entrance examination, he is still studying history, and his financial situation is the worst.
Giving money directly is not in line with my own principles of doing things. Ask him to write a script and give him 100,000 yuan, neither more nor less.
He told the story to the other party, wrote tens of thousands of words according to it, polished it up and was done.
"Thanks to my brother Da, I can be as good as a great writer in my lifetime."
Zhuang Liang and Li Xu knew that Zhang Yida was taking care of Wu Xing, so they were not jealous.
If you ask these two science students to write, they may not be able to write well.
Both of them are proud of being admitted to Beijing University. A gentleman will not eat what he grumbles for.
If they really wanted to ask Zhang Yida for help, they would not choose Penguin and Hua.
As long as they open their mouths, they believe that according to Zhang Yida's work style, Ruixiang and Zhonghe Group will definitely choose one of them to arrange a good position for them.
The location may not be very high, but it will definitely not be worse than Penguin or Huawei.
"Where are you two?"
Zhang Yida looked at Zhuang and Li, "Why did you choose Hua Wei and Penguin? Don't Ruixiang and Zhonghe look good?"
Li Xu smiled and said: "I don't want to trouble you, the positions we are looking for are all good, really!"
Zhuang Liang nodded and said: "When I go to learn some skills, I will come to join you."
Zhang Yida knew what the two of them were thinking, and he couldn't force it.
Even if they really join his company, he will not give them too much special care. At most, they will be given priority in promotions and salary increases under the same conditions.
But it’s okay if the two of them don’t join our company, the relationship between us is more pure.
Otherwise it would be quite embarrassing for the two of them to see him in the company.
"Come on you two, Penguin and Huawei are both very good companies. Once you learn the skills and want to start a business, I can give you an angel investment."
This time, the two of them did not refuse, and both nodded solemnly.
Who knows what will happen in the future? With Zhang Yida’s promise, what if it comes into use one day?
The few of them chatted about some interesting campus stories, while Zhang Yida acted as an audience and listened quietly to the three of them.
Finally, when it came time to check out, Zhang Yida did not fight for it.
It's only a few hundred dollars, so give yourself one more chance to owe them a favor.
…
Zhang Yida's impassioned graduation speech still made the front page headlines.
The most searched phrase on Weibo is "Zhang Yida's graduation speech".
Most of the comments from netizens are positive and positive. Especially the part about mocking the sweet air girl has become an insurmountable classic.
The most controversial one is the saying "Science has no borders, but scientists have borders."
Someone commented rhythmically: "An entrepreneur with narrow nationalism will never become an entrepreneur like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates."
This sentence stirred up a hornet's nest, and some people began to dig into Jobs' old accounts.
"New products will not be launched in mainland China", "I have never been to China in my life", "discrimination against us"... everything about Chen Sesame and rotten millet was revealed.
Others misinterpreted Zhang Yida's words and said, "Zhang Yida satirized the overseas Chinese scientists living overseas."
"If you don't come back to serve the motherland after studying abroad, you are unpatriotic."
These people summarized this view and put a big hat on Zhang Yida.
"The motherland has raised you. If you don't serve the motherland, you will be a white-eyed wolf."
Most netizens hold this view. They strongly support Zhang Yida and started a scolding war on Weibo with a small group of people who claim to be elites.
Weibo not only failed to stop relevant remarks, but instead made the fire worse.
Overseas groups of overseas Chinese scientists have spoken out, demanding a public apology from Zhang Yida.
Apologize, it is impossible to apologize in this life.
Zhang Yida's attitude was very tough and he asked the public relations department to start building momentum for him.
An article titled "Peking University Student Zhang Yida" broke the Internet.
"In four years of college, he rang the bell three times, paid a single personal tax of 2.32 billion, and donated 1 billion..."
Many netizens know that Zhang Yida is rich and owns many well-known companies, but this is the first time that he has such a comprehensive understanding of his assets and various deeds.
"If you want to criticize me, first tell me what contribution you have made to the country? Is it a tax of several billion, or a donation of one billion?"
"Those foreigners, please stop talking, because you are not worthy!"
"You don't deserve it!"
"You don't deserve it!"
…
"You are not worthy" has become a hot word because some well-meaning people have identified some of the most popular celebrities on the Internet, all of whom have foreign nationalities.
The Internet was noisy for a few days and then gradually died down.
Because the People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency have spoken out, a press release titled "Patriotic Young Entrepreneur Zhang Yida" explains all attitudes.
The monsters and monsters suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the comments on Weibo all turned into all kinds of praise and praise for Zhang Yida.
Zhang Yida would never believe that Ah Li was not behind this incident.
Sina holds 49.8% of Sina Weibo's shares and is the largest shareholder; the second largest shareholder is Ali, which holds 31% of Weibo's shares.
