Chapter 433 Boss Wei: I Have an Incompatible Relationship with Gambling and Drugs
PPTV won the first battle, and Li Ji and Wei Yang's group surpassed Suning, and their internal momentum soared.
Strike while the iron is hot, PPTV officially announced that many new films and TV series will be launched soon, which has stirred up the heat.
Not long after, the Magnolia Awards and Shanghai Satellite TV announced their cooperation with PPTV, and the online copyright of the Magnolia Awards ceremony for the next three years belongs to PPTV.
Two days later, PPTV announced the introduction of a large number of variety shows from nearly ten TV stations including Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, and Liaoning Province.
Although the ace programs of each company have basically been sold, these second- and third-tier variety shows have greatly supplemented PPTV's variety show inventory, and with popular variety shows such as Blue Whale's "Dad is Back", they have suddenly propped up the shelf of PPTV's variety show section.
In May, PPTV and Blue Whale announced the creation of the first comedy competition variety show "Happy Comedian".
It is planned to invite Deyun Club, Liaoning Folk Art Troupe, Happy Twist and other comedy groups to compete on the same stage to determine the strongest comedy team.
This is also the first variety show project that PPTV has deeply participated in, but it is definitely not the last one.
Wei Yang intends to use this opportunity to cultivate a group of variety show teams belonging to the website in PPTV, and will make some small and medium-sized programs in the future to enrich the variety of variety shows.
From this point of view, Wei Yang no longer takes Suning seriously, and he treats PPTV as his own territory without hesitation and makes long-term plans.
This makes the Suning system and even the headquarters behind it very unhappy, but they can't swallow Wei Yang in one go.
Not to mention swallowing, they can't even dilute Wei Yang's shares by investing an extra 1 billion yuan, and even the same investment as Wei Yang is a bit bumpy.
In fact, Wei Yang really hopes that Suning will gather a group of funds, rush in to offset his funds, and catch him off guard.
If there are more, Suning will be reluctant to invest. If the number is small, he will pay as much as he gets, and PPTV will have more money.
If PPTV gets 5 billion development funds, Wei Yang will dare to compete for the first website in the industry within a year.
But it is obvious that he is blindly thinking. PPTV is only valued at a certain amount. If Suning can easily take out tens of billions in one go, Wei Yang will not be the major shareholder.
Therefore, Suning is not a big threat to Wei Yang now. It is just the old-fashioned incompetent rage, and then expects him to fail.
In contrast, Wei Yang is a little worried that Suning can't hold on and sells his shares in advance.
Because there are rumors in the industry that Alibaba has begun to seek to acquire a video website.
This rumor has been circulating for a long time. Jack Ma's big entertainment strategy has been loud and clear, so how could he not lay out a video website.
When Suning acquired PPTV before, there was competition from Alibaba, but the latter seemed to think that the scale was too small and gave up halfway.
Boss Wei is a little worried that he has made PPTV bigger. Suning is unwilling to give him shares when it sees that it is no match for him, and then invites Alibaba, the wolf.
This war of attrition is useful for Suning, which does not attach importance to PPTV and has insufficient cash flow, but it is useless for Alibaba.
Jack Ma spent a lot of money, and spent nearly 30 billion to acquire Youku. Wei Yang really doesn't have the confidence to fight him.
So if he doesn't see Alibaba and Youku meet, Wei Yang is really afraid that Suning will cut off his source of income.
But even though he was wary, Wei Yang didn't want to slow down. It doesn't make sense to stop doing things just because you're afraid.
Hengdian, the crew of "Nirvana in Fire"
Wei Yang was browsing some news on his phone, analyzing and pondering Alibaba's layout, wondering if he was Jack Ma, would he give up the industry giant Youku and choose PPTV, which is on the rise.
He still thinks that Jack Ma is more likely to take action on Youku, but he has to be on guard.
"Before the end of the year, we must get more shares from Suning and try to achieve absolute control."
Many people think that absolute control is 51%, which is only relative.
Owning more than half of the shares means a lot of control over the company, but some major events still need to be notified or even agreed to by other shareholders.
But if you own more than 67% of the shares, this is absolute control, and the company's affairs are decided by one person.
If Wei Yang can have this equity ratio, he can directly kick out all the managers of Suning, take full control of PPTV, and turn Suning into a shareholder with only basic rights such as dividends. It's only a matter of time before he loses.
But it is not easy to do this. Suning is not stupid and will not sit back and watch Wei Yang succeed.
"You have to spend money."
Wei Yang was determined. He could not live like this. He invested most of the profits of Blue Whale this year. Red Shark also transferred a batch of funds. If it didn't work, he would use his own private money.
Wei Yang has always kept his private and personal money very clear!
The company can go bankrupt, but it should not affect his personal assets. That is the way out and retirement money for his whole family.
Including a lot of funds borrowed from the acquisition of PPTV before, they were all mortgaged by the company or other assets, and his personal money was not touched.
For example, his dozens of high-end properties, some high-quality stocks, funds and bonds of financial nature, a certain currency that is now popular, and some small extra incomes made through some golden fingers in the past, such as gambling, bottom-fishing, etc.
In addition to real estate and some stock funds, many of the things behind are sensitive. Wei Yang has hardly mentioned them to anyone, and it is not convenient to talk about them.
So Wei Yang regarded them all as his own private money, which is not much in detail.
There are only a few small items in cash. If they are mortgaged, two or three billion will be no problem. In fact, they can be worth more if sold, but many things have not reached their market peak, so Wei Yang will not get rid of them easily.
This money is one of Wei Yang's last few trump cards. Wei Yang is unwilling to take it out unless it is absolutely necessary.
If this fails, Boss Wei will have worked for nothing for most of these years.
"Damn it, Zhang family, and Lao Ma, please don't push me to that extent, otherwise you will come back to kick me when I am down."
Wei Yang took a look at Jack Ma in the photo, who was full of vigor, turned off his phone, and closed his eyes to rest.
As a result, within a minute, Wei Yang twitched his nose, opened his eyes, and saw Liu Shishi holding two boxes of food in front of him.
One was braised beef brisket, with a ruddy color and a fragrant meat.
The other was fried tofu, golden on both sides, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"..."
Wei Yang was so angry, and he didn't know who infected him. Liu Shishi was getting worse and worse.
Knowing that he was dieting to lose weight and keep in shape, and was as hungry as a grandson every day, Liu Shishi made a bunch of delicious food in front of him every day to tempt him. It was really not a son of man.
"Oh, this braised beef brisket is really well stewed, but it is still chewy and the more you eat, the more delicious it tastes."
Liu Shishi smacked her lips without caring about her image to tempt Wei Yang. Boss Wei was upset and covered his ears and closed his eyes.
Out of sight, out of mind; out of hearing, out of mind!
But Wei Yang could cover his mouth and eyes, and couldn't stand the smell rushing into his nose.
"I'm going to sleep in the RV, don't disturb me."
Wei Yang got up and left. Today they were shooting outside, and there was no rest room. Most people built a shed outside, and only a few leading actors had RVs.
I wanted to take advantage of the break to bask in the sun, but someone made trouble, so Wei Yang simply went back to the RV to hide.
"Hahaha."
Looking at Boss Wei who escaped in a panic, Liu Shishi was in a good mood. While inviting his assistant to eat together, he held his mobile phone to show off the results of the previous battle in a small group of three people.
In this small group, if it was a show of affection, the two might not say anything, but if it was to tease Wei Yang, the three of them would chat happily.
As a female star, Liu Shishi didn't dare to eat too much. She only ate a few pieces of braised beef brisket. She ate more tofu and the vegetables brought later, and even ate a little rice.
After eating about 50% full, she put down her chopsticks. She was bored and took some fruit to the RV to find Wei Yang.
The child was still easy to be soft-hearted. After teasing him, she was worried about Wei Yang's anger and health, so she was ready to come to coax him.
As a result, as soon as she got on the RV, she saw Wei Yang hurriedly hiding something behind him, and there was a greasy luster on his mouth.
Liu Shishi: "..."
Sure enough, there should be no kindness to this dog thing...
"What are you hiding? Hand it over."
"What do you mean by hiding? Why are you here? Let me see what you have in your hand."
Wei Yang wiped his mouth calmly and changed the subject. Liu Shishi was unmoved and took out her mobile phone to threaten.
"You won't tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I'll tell Lao Fang."
"Don't."
Wei Yang was scared. Lao Fang was his nutritionist, who was responsible for his diet recipes this time and matched his diet every day.
This time, Wei Yang lost weight and maintained his body shape at the same time. Not only did he achieve the effect as quickly as possible, but he also ensured that he would take in other nutrients during weight loss, and tried his best to prevent these behaviors from hurting Wei Yang's body.
If Lao Fang knew that Wei Yang was not eating according to the matching, he would definitely adjust the menu for the past two days.
Maybe he would prepare some "dark dishes" that only consider nutrition and weight loss effects without considering the taste. Boss Wei is fed up with those nutritious meals that are not filling and not delicious.
In order to succeed in dieting, Wei Yang made a harsh statement, so it was naturally not easy to go back on his word. He had nothing to say when being tortured.
"Sister, please be merciful. I haven't touched normal food for almost half a month. There are also indulgent meals for weight loss. Let me go once."
Wei Yang begged for mercy bitterly, and Liu Shishi softened her heart again and took the phone back.
"Eat less, so as not to be found out."
"Don't worry, I'll just satisfy my cravings, I know my limits."
Wei Yang took out the hidden lunch box, which contained a box of cold pork head meat. The oily pork head meat was decorated with chili and garlic slices, and the colors were bright, making people's mouths water.
"Don't you mind the fat?"
"No, the fat is more fragrant, I can't wait to get an elbow to chew."
Wei Yang didn't object to fatty meat before, but he didn't have any preference, but after being "tortured" for more than a month, what he wanted to eat most was the pork head meat from the delicatessen they had met when they were young, which was soft, glutinous, and mellow.
In fact, he secretly asked someone to buy this box of pork head meat yesterday, but he had been holding back and put it in the refrigerator of the RV.
Today, Liu Shishi stimulated him so much that he couldn't stand it, so he heated it in the microwave and broke the rules to satisfy his cravings.
Under Liu Shishi's gaze, Wei Yang picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed a few times, with an intoxicated and satisfied look on his face.
"It's just a little bit of wine, it's simply hopeless."
"Is it so delicious?"
Seeing Wei Yang's exaggerated performance, Liu Shishi was also a little moved and looked outside.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Pig head meat."
Liu Shishi was choked with anger and left angrily. About half a minute later, she ran back and asked again in confusion.
"What kind of meat is this?"
Wei Yang actually reacted as soon as she left, and replied with a smile.
"Beef."
"Then I'll try it."
Liu Shishi picked a piece that was not fat, tasted it happily, and gave a good evaluation.
Wei Yang smiled. There is a saying that "three can't be eaten, two can be found, and one can be eaten casually". In daily life, many people have flexible bottom lines.
Especially Liu Shishi is just a member of the clan, not involved in other things, so there are not so many taboos.
As long as there are no outsiders, she eats happily, but the premise is that she "doesn't know". According to the rules, there is no problem with being deceived.
Wei Yang was very careful in his early years, until one time, the two of them found out that they had made a mistake after eating. As a result, Liu Shishi was just stunned for a moment, and pretended to be indifferent. From then on, he didn't care about this when there were no outsiders at home.
The two didn't eat much. Each of them ate fruit to satisfy their cravings. Wei Yang didn't dare to eat too sweet.
"I will never take this kind of role again in the future."
Wei Yang was very painful. He was not afraid of being tired and hard to exercise, but he was really uncomfortable not letting people eat, being hungry every day, and most of the food he ate was tasteless.
If Da Mimi and Liu Shishi hadn't accompanied him one after another, he might have been depressed.
Food is the first necessity of the people. At least for Wei Yang, this incident had a great impact on his mood. Apart from work, he rarely talked to others except Liu Shishi. This was the most "cold" time he had been in a film since his debut.
Liu Shishi laughed secretly: "Do you still remember the interview two days ago? I laughed to death."
When this was mentioned, Wei Yang's face became darker. 2014 was a famous "year of rule of law". Many people in the entertainment industry were imprisoned, and the outside world was in chaos.
As a result, Wei Yang was interviewed a few days ago. He became thinner because of dieting and weight loss, and he was in a bad mood because of long-term lack of food.
Although he was polite, compared with the smiling interview, he was obviously a little cold, and his answers were also a little stiff, because he had just finished filming, was hungry and weak, and had a little lack of strength.
This state, at this juncture, naturally made people think of something, and then the unscrupulous media immediately led the rhythm.
Wei Yang was so angry. You can call me bad, dirty, or a scumbag, but how can you arbitrarily put the blame on me?
He, Wei, has always been sworn enemies with gambling and drugs!
So Wei Yang cursed on Weibo for once, and then posted a few photos of the results of a series of inspection reports made by the local police station in Hengdian.
This operation directly proved Wei Yang's innocence, and through interviews with other people in the "Nirvana in Fire" crew, it was confirmed that Wei Yang was in a bad state because he was hungry.
While everyone was laughing at Boss Wei's miserable situation, they also found that this operation was very effective.
Many people strongly requested that other suspected candidates also go to the relevant departments to prove their innocence, which brought Boss Wei a lot of enemies.
But Boss Wei obviously didn't care about this.
In life, who dares to say that he is pure and flawless? Wei Yang himself is not a good thing, so he is also tolerant of many mistakes. Only the word "drug" is a bottom line issue in his view, so he firmly resists and disdains it.
The previous move was considered intentional, so that he could better prove his innocence and also win the battle.
Set the standard, and everyone will play by it in the future. If anyone dares not prove himself, he should get out as soon as possible...
