The world is in trouble

Chapter 236: Finale! Success! Killing indiscriminately

Chapter 236: Finale! Success! Killing!
Neither Mr. Huo of Emperor Entertainment Group nor Jackie Chan were very surprised by the disastrous box office performance of “The King’s Woman 2”.

Because all the cinema managers have responded that the attendance of this movie is very poor, so don’t have too high expectations. Of course, when the box office data came out, it was still a certain blow when it only took in 1200 million in the first week.

With 1200 million in the first week, the final box office might have been only over million, which is definitely a loss.

Of course, this film may have some box office in Hong Kong, but the total box office revenue must be at least around 2.5 million to break even.

I really lost so much money that I am about to vomit blood.

Mr. Huo and Brother Cheng Long both looked unhappy. This movie was made solely to promote Prince Fang, but it ended up being a flop like this.

Of course, the more crucial thing is that they don’t understand “Love is Not Blind”.

How did this box office come out? Such a small production, such a mediocre plot, and it actually made 3800 million?
“I think this has the most to do with publicity,” said Mr. Huo. “The publicity for this movie was so sharp, and it also coincided with the popularity of Britain’s Got Talent, which aroused the national pride of many people in the mainland.”

“Therefore, this box office trend is unlikely to continue, and the second week will probably see a big drop.”

Of course, no matter how much the performance of “Love Is Not Blind” plummets, it cannot save “The Matrix 33”.

But this time, Lightning Entertainment came to blatantly slap them in the face.

Xia Xi went to visit first and expressed her belief that harmony is the most important thing and invited artists under Emperor Entertainment Group to join Facebook, but Mr. Huo and Mr. Yang refused.

As a result, Lightning Entertainment attacked directly.

“Young people nowadays are really a little crazy.” Brother Cheng Long couldn’t help but say.

The eldest brother has certainly made a lot of money, but he still has a strong sense of career. However, he has recently faced a bottleneck in his career.

Rush Hour brought his career to its peak, and Shanghai Noon was also pretty good. But the subsequent losses of Shanghai Noon 2 and Around the World in Days reduced his opportunities in Hollywood.

He will produce a series of movies next. “The Myth” and “Baby Project” are actually of good quality, but the box office results are not ideal.

Later, the film “The Forbidden Kingdom” co-produced with Huayi, although it earned $1.2 million in box office worldwide and was the only time that Cheng Long and Li Lianjie cooperated, it was still a flop compared to the investment cost of $7000 million, and its reputation was even worse.

He had to wait until “The Chinese Zodiac” became a big hit before he regained his glory in the mainland.

Of course, no matter what, Brother Cheng Long’s contribution to Chinese-language films is very great, and he is definitely a milestone figure.

Mr. Huo couldn’t help but say, “If you want to cooperate, then talk about it properly. You want to use this method to make us bow down? How is that possible?”

“He is not really a big shot in the domestic market, so it is ridiculous for him to have so many enemies.”

Brother Cheng Long, on the other hand, could understand it a little, because he was also very crazy when he was young.

Always successful, always crazy.

However, given his current status in the underworld, it is impossible for him to bow down to a young man. It would be better for everyone to keep to themselves.

………………

“Do you want more promotion?” Gao Changhe found Lin Xiao.

He was a little unsure, the box office in the first week was so good, it ranked second in film history. So he should make a big fuss about this record to attract more people to the cinema.

But Gao Changhe knew Lin Xiao. He liked to speak with product strength and did not like excessive hype and publicity.

So, he was unsure and came to report again.

Lin Xiao didn’t say anything, but sighed softly in his heart.

Gao Changhe’s ability is really limited, which means he is extremely loyal.

If it were Li Shuang, she would not come to report, and she would definitely be able to see through my thoughts.

“Hold a meeting among yourselves on this matter and make the decision yourselves.” Lin Xiao’s tone was still gentle.

Gao Changhe suddenly became nervous and nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

Next, Gao Changhe convened a meeting of Lightning Entertainment’s core executives.

Should we continue the previous promotion? Should we make a big fuss about this statistic being the second-best in film history?

Mr. Lin doesn’t seem to like this kind of exaggeration.

Whenever Gao Changhe encountered something, his first instinctive reaction was to ask whether Lin Xiao thought this way and whether Lin Xiao would be happy.

If Lin Xiao is not happy, he will not do it even if it is in the interests of Lightning Entertainment.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Shuang.

Because it seems that everyone knows that she can represent General Lin to a large extent.

“My opinion is to continue promoting it, because Love Is Not Blind is a very rare work.”

“It was made with a very small investment, and the story is very plain. It doesn’t look like a work that can be a big hit at all.”

“It is precisely because of this that we can show the promotional capabilities of our Lightning Entertainment and give people the feeling that we, Lightning Entertainment, can do anything.”

“We need to make people feel that Master Ergou has great luck and will be successful in everything he does.”

“So, continue the promotion in the second week.”

“Keep going.”

………………………………

Afterwards, Gao Changhe found Li Shuang.

“Boss Li, let’s find a time to report to Boss Lin and Boss Xia?” Gao Changhe said, “You will take charge of Lightning Entertainment.”

Li Shuang smiled and said, “What about you, Mr. Gao?”

Gao Changhe said: “I can arrange it. Honorary chairman or something like that is fine.”

Li Shuang shook her head: “Mr. Gao, no need.”

“I’m telling you the truth. I’m aggressive and forge ahead, while you’re more stable. You’re the boss and I’m the fighter. That’s just right.”

“Don’t mention this matter anymore.”

Next, follow Li Shuang’s deployment.

The promotion of “Love Is Not Blind” is in full swing.

However, this time the focus is on promoting the box office results.

First week box office ranked second in film history.

It was still broadcast in the form of news on major satellite TV stations.

First, take a picture of the crowded crowd in the theater, and then emphasize that this movie’s first-week box office is second in history, second only to “Hero”.

This second highest ranking in film history obviously hurt many people’s hearts.

It caused a wave of public opinion.

Many filmmakers, film companies and experts have joined in.

“For a movie like Love Is Not Blind to become the second highest-grossing movie in its first week, it’s a complete tragedy for Chinese films.”

“What kind of market is this? Can such a weird thing happen?”

But this is exactly the effect that Lightning Entertainment wants, which is to make people scold.

The more you criticize, the more popular it will be. There will be many people who don’t believe it and insist on going to the cinema to see if it deserves to be the second best film in history.

My colleagues in the film production companies are extremely jealous.

“Crazy Stone” cost eight million yuan and grossed 1.2 million yuan.

The cost of Love Is Not Blind was only less than 33 million, but it made 3800 million in its first week.

You are just making money by making this movie, it’s just robbing money.

Are the TV and movie markets your money-printing machines? Can you take whatever you want?
New Picture’s “House of Flying Daggers” will be released at the end of September, so full-scale promotion has also begun.

The reporter asked Master Zhang.

“Director Zhang, Love Is Not Blind ranked second in the box office in its first week, second only to Hero. Do you have anything to say?”

Master Zhang didn’t want to offend anyone, so his answer was very conventional and calm.

Zhang Weiping next to him couldn’t help but said: “Does the Chinese film market need a movie like Love Is Not Blind? No!”

“What the Chinese film market needs are films like ‘Hero’ and ‘House of Flying Daggers’.”

“I still say that whether it is Crazy Stone or Love Is Not Blind, they are full of speculation. The huge sales of such works are a tragedy of the market. Bad money drives out good money.”

“In the future, everyone should just make these low-budget movies. Who would be willing to invest big money to make a big production?”

“This is a promotional event for House of Flying Daggers. Please stop talking about that movie and stop mentioning that person’s name.”

…………………………

Mr. Wang from Huayi couldn’t help but speak out.

“Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but this film market is not healthy.”

“A big production that cost a lot of money and effort and had to be remade several times ended up not doing well at the box office, causing the producers to lose money.”

“Some small productions make dozens of times the profit. This kind of market will discourage those who are serious about making movies.”

“However, we will still maintain our determination to produce high-quality products.”

“Spend more money, find better actors and better directors, and present better works to the audience.”

“Doing good deeds without asking for reward.”

………………

After Gao Changhe understood Lin Xiao’s spirit, he immediately found his position and started bombarding.

“If you are jealous, then you are jealous. Why are you saying so much?”

“Does Lightning Entertainment not have any big productions? If the ‘Doomsday Trip’ with an investment of 10 million US dollars at the end of the year is not a big production, then what is it?”

“The upcoming TV series Squidward Idol only has about ten episodes, but it will cost 10 million US dollars.”

“The planned Kung Fu Panda is expected to cost 1.3 million US dollars?”

“Who among you can compare?”

“When it comes to quality and excellence, who can compare to us at Lightning Entertainment?”

“I think it’s pointless to waste so much time talking. The truth will be revealed in the market.”

“Our film “The Last Days” is scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year. How about you all come and give it a try?”

In the following period of time, Gao Changhe, Zhang Weiping and Huayi enjoyed a war of words in the newspapers.

In the end, Gao Changhe finally said the words that broke Zhang Weiping’s defense.

“Director Zhang, Zhang Weiping is not worthy of you. Don’t stay at New Picture. Come to Lightning Entertainment.”

This sentence made Zhang Weiping burst into curses.

“With your stinginess, you still want to cooperate with Yimou? Can you afford it?” Zhang Weiping: “What? Kung Fu Panda cost 1.3 million US dollars. You are bragging about something that didn’t happen. The investment in your Doomsday Journey was only or million US dollars, but you boasted about million US dollars.”

“Even if The Last Days Travels was worth 10 million dollars, it’s only a quarter of House of Flying Daggers.”

“We invested 3 million RMB in House of Flying Daggers, and it will soon be shown to audiences all over the country. By then, everyone will be able to tell who are the real Chinese filmmakers and who are the speculators.”

“It’s ridiculous to regard a speculator as a hero. It’s also interesting to call himself the leader and to win over a group of ignorant children to flatter him.”

“I’ve often heard of the name Ergou Jiaozhu before. Ergou Jiaozhu, who did I think he was? Was he a dog, or Dongfang Bubai?”

Gao Changhe: “Come on, I made my fortune by speculating in stocks, and you made your fortune by bribing hospitals and selling medical equipment. How much better are you than me? Why are you pretending to be rich?”

“You invested 3 million RMB in House of Flying Daggers, and we invested more than million RMB in The Last Days. The box office will depend on the main event, whether it is the domestic box office or the global box office. If we lose, I will donate million to build schools in poor mountainous areas. If you lose, you will donate million!”

All of a sudden, he put the other person there.

Zhang Weiping: “Okay, isn’t it just 50 million? I hope you can take it out by then, and don’t go bankrupt again.”

In this war of public opinion, a 100 million yuan bet inexplicably emerged.

The popularity of “Love Is Not Blind” has reached a new level.

During the whole process, Lin Xiao and Xia Xi had completely stayed out of it and seemed detached.

………………………………

Amid this war of words, the second week’s box office came out.

Manager Liu of Sichuan Pacific gave the box office data in the shortest time possible.

The second week box office of “The Matrix Reloaded” is 2 million RMB.

“Love Is Not Blind” second week box office, 33 million!
After this data came out, the circle was silent again.

Mr. Zhang from the new picture simply folded the pen.

The total box office revenue for two weeks totaled 9300 million.

For a movie with an investment of only 560 million, isn’t this return more exaggerated than expected?
The verbal battles over the past few days have all contributed to the box office success of this movie. Although Zhang Weiping was also promoting the upcoming “House of Flying Daggers”, now seeing that this hype has all become the box office success of “Love Is Not Blind”, how can he not be furious when he is doing the work of others?

When Huayi President Wang looked at the box office, he felt a chill in his teeth.

Is it so easy to get box office success nowadays?

Is it so easy to make over 100 million yuan at the box office? Can we just rush through it casually?
We at Huayi have been making movies for so many years, but no one has ever had a box office of over 100 million. Last year’s “Cell Phone” only made over 60 million.

………………

Zhen Zhidan came to the Lightning Group again.

This time, he couldn’t understand the movie “Love Is Not Blind” at all, but the box office was about to exceed 33 million.

This really seems like magic.

“Boss Lin, is there anything I can do for you?” He simply bowed and said, “Boss Lin, please give me more support.”

Lin Xiao was silent for a while and said, “But in that case, Mr. Zhen may need to sign a contract with Lightning Entertainment in the name of his personal studio.”

Signing a contract with a personal studio also means being incorporated in some way.

This is the first star in the Hong Kong circle to join the Lightning Group.

It’s quite like buying bones with a fortune.

“Of course.” Zhen Zhidan was silent for a long time and agreed decisively.

Lin Xiao: “Then we have a pleasant cooperation.”

The two reached out and shook hands.

Zhen Zhidan: “Master, is there a script suitable for me?”

Lin Xiao: “What do you think?”

Zhen Zhidan: “Mainland movies and Hong Kong movies are different. The inner temperament and emotions are different. Hong Kong movies are more narrow, while mainland movies, no matter how well they are made, have a bigger scope.”

Lin Xiao: “So do you want a movie with a mainland style or a Hong Kong style?”

Zhen Zhidan: “Of course it should be of mainland temperament, so the market is bigger.”

Lin Xiao: “Yes.” Regarding Zhen Zhidan’s movie, Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time. If he really wanted to cooperate with him, which one should he choose?
Then I realized that I could only choose between two.

“Ip Man”, “SPL 2”.

That’s right, it was “SPL 2”, the one starring Wu Jing. At that time, Wolf Warrior 2 had not yet been released and Wu Jing had not yet reached his peak, but “SPL 2” still earned more than 5 million yuan at the box office and had a very good reputation.

As for “SPL 1”, it actually has a better reputation, but it has too strong a Hong Kong flavor and is too violent, so it will definitely not be released in mainland China.

“SPL 2” has a larger scale and its plot is transnational. In addition, the plot of human organ trading, the love between father and daughter, rebirth after fall, etc. are actually very touching.

Lin Xiao handed over the rough outline of the script.

Zhen Zhidan finished reading it immediately and was immediately very excited.

Because you can tell at a glance that this script was carefully tailored and was definitely not a perfunctory work.

Moreover, this kind of script is what he wants, not only the martial arts scenes are brilliant, but also the literary scenes are very good. The key is the story, which can be seen at a glance that it has huge marketability and curiosity.

As long as the money is in place and the director is good enough, the film can achieve a high level of completion.

“Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin!”

“I really hope this is a new beginning for my career.”

“I also hope that my performance will not disappoint everyone.”

……………………

next day!

Zhen Zhidan and Lightning Entertainment held a press conference.

Zhen Zhidan Studio has signed a contract with Lightning Entertainment and will release its first work “SPL” next year.

This news once again caused a small shock.

Because this means that there is a gap in the Hong Kong circle’s boycott of Lightning Entertainment.

Although Zhen Zhidan is not as good as the two Zhou Yicheng, he is undoubtedly a first-line actor, and in terms of action design, he is definitely top-notch in a certain field. Of course, Qian Jiale, Yuan Heping and Hong Jinbao are also very good, but their styles are different.

And such a person actually chose to join Lightning Entertainment at this time.

Domestic newspapers haven’t said anything yet, but the headlines in Hong Kong newspapers are quite sensational.

“Is the Hong Kong film industry heading north? Or is it surrendering?”

“Kung Fu superstar sells himself to Internet capital.”

“A traitor from the Hong Kong film industry has appeared?”

It was written in the newspaper that although Hong Kong filmmakers have flocked to the north in recent years, they have still maintained a certain degree of independence and even have a certain initiative.

However, Zhen Zhidan actually chose to sign directly with Lightning Entertainment, which undoubtedly lost the initiative and went against the character of Hong Kong filmmakers.

If others follow suit, how can the Hong Kong film industry maintain its independence and secure the initiative?
Hong Kong films going north should be cooperative and led, rather than completely integrated.

Mr. Zhen, you have set a very bad example for your personal future.

How does it feel to have an Internet boss who is several decades younger than you as your godfather? Don’t you feel ashamed?
Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw these newspapers.

Are some people in the Hong Kong circle really so broken-down? Are they so angry and frustrated?

………………

Gao Changhe went to meet an unexpected person, director He Ping.

The failure of “Heroes of Heaven and Earth” should be regarded as the darkest moment for director He Ping.

Columbia turned ruthless and directly closed the Asian Film Consultant Office and terminated the contract with He Ping.

Of course, he and Huayi have continued to cooperate and there has been no termination of the contract as rumored.

However, after the failure of “Heroes of Heaven and Earth”, Huayi never gave him any film projects again. The movie “Wheat Field” made a few years later was still invested by Light Media.

“Director He, get up from where you fell.”

“How about ending the cooperation with Huayi? Join us at Lightning Entertainment.”

When director He Ping heard Gao Changhe’s words, he was stunned.

I am a member of the Beijing circle, and the failure of “Heroes of Heaven and Earth” started with Master Ergou.

In fact, it had nothing to do with Lin Xiao. He was just predicting the box office of the movie at that time. He still remained positive about the quality of the movie.

But in the eyes of many people, Master Ergou’s words were golden. He said more than a month in advance that “Heroes of Heaven and Earth” would fail at the box office, and it really failed. In fact, the final box office was almost consistent with Ergou’s prediction.

“Director He, although Huayi will still cooperate with you for the sake of face, you will not have another chance.” Gao Changhe said: “But it will be different if you come to our Lightning Entertainment.”

“Your biggest concern right now is probably Columbia’s termination of the contract, and even the dissolution of the Asian Film Advisory Office. This is a huge humiliation for you.”

“But if you go through the Lightning Entertainment, you can get back everything you lost, or even double it back.”

“We have a TV series, only ten episodes, that is aimed at the whole world. It will not only be sold to South Korea and Japan, but also to the United States, the United Kingdom, etc.”

“The entire TV series cost 1000 million US dollars, with an international cast, Colombia’s participation in the production, and global distribution.”

“If you sign with Lightning Entertainment, you will be Director Lian Xi.”

“Just like the current “The Last Days”, there are two directors, one is Chinese and the other is Korean.”

Director He Ping was shocked.

Of course he knew that Lightning Entertainment was poaching talent, and they first poached talent from the Hong Kong industry and signed Zhen Zhidan.

This has already upset the Hong Kong circle, and the newspapers are furious. But it’s okay, after all, the grudge between the Hong Kong circle and Lightning Entertainment is not deep.

But the Beijing circle and Lightning Entertainment are sworn enemies.

He is the director and was previously considered one of the core members of the Beijing circle.

If he signed with Lightning Entertainment, it would cause a greater shock and would cause greater damage to the reputation of the Beijing circle.

It really hit me in the heart and stabbed me hard.

By then, the entire Beijing circle will probably regard him as a traitor and curse him madly.

But Gao Changhe was right. If he stayed in Beijing, he would have no chance in the next few years.

In this circle, without achievements, there is no status, and one can only rely on seniority and experience to bully others.

Gao Changhe: “Please think about it carefully.”

“But you have to get back to me in October, because our TV series project will have already started by then.”

“You know our leader’s style. He will spare no effort for his friends.”

“What he said always counts.”

“But if you miss this opportunity, then… you will never get it again.”

After Gao Changhe left, Director He still sat in his seat for a long time without moving.

………………………………

The third week box office results are out.

“The Power of Magic 2” 200 million.

“Love Is Not Blind” 33 million.

So far, the total box office of this movie has reached 1.22 million!
Compared with the second week, the box office in the third week has dropped by about 55%.

But it is certain that the box office will exceed 1.4 million in the end.

1.4 billion!
What a shocking number this is in this day and age.

The final box office was 26 times the cost!
Who could have thought that there would be a box office bomb during the summer vacation?

1.4 million is not only the box office champion so far this year, but also the second highest box office in the history of domestic films since its establishment in theaters, still second only to “Hero”.

The final box office of “The Matrix Reloaded” was only about 2 million, which was definitely a huge loss.

At the beginning, they made a big fanfare and were ready to completely suppress the low-budget production “Love Is Not Blind”, but in the end, the box office was only one-seventh of that of the other film.

It really makes me wonder what to say.

…………………………

Then, a secretly photographed scene appeared in a newspaper.

“He Ping, the core director of Beijing Circle, secretly met with Gao Changhe of Lightning Entertainment.”

“Director He Ping wants to betray the Beijing community and join Lightning Entertainment.”

“Kick the Hong Kong circle with your feet and punch the Beijing circle with your fists. After Zhen Zhidan surrendered, the leader of Ergou won another victory.”

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Many newspapers reprinted the article.

Various portal websites and entertainment programs on various satellite TV channels showed the meeting between Gao Changhe and director He Ping from various angles.

This was like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Because the movie “Love Is Not Blind” was a huge hit at the box office, people in the Beijing circle were already extremely upset.

You just finished the Hong Kong circle and now you want to deal with the Beijing circle?
Moreover, you want to poach a director who has been marginalized in the Beijing circle and give him important tasks.

Killing people will hurt your heart, killing people will hurt your heart!

Director He Ping has repeatedly explained in the circle that he has not signed a contract with Lightning Entertainment.

But the big guys in the circle didn’t say anything, but sneered in their hearts, you must have an ulterior motive, otherwise why did you meet him?
You two are obviously enemies, yet you are still having such a pleasant conversation with each other?
Huayi CEO Wang came forward and said: “At present, I have not received any news to prove that Director He Ping has chosen to sign a contract with Lightning Entertainment.”

“We are still in a cooperative relationship with Director He Ping.”

The reporter asked, “But some time ago, there was a rumor about your termination of the contract with director He Ping.”

Mr. Wang: “That’s not true. It was Columbia that ended its cooperation with Director He Ping, not Huayi.”

Reporter: “What do you think if Director He Ping really chooses to sign with Lightning Entertainment?”

Mr. Xiao Wang: “We fully respect Director He Ping. If there is a better future for him, we will never stop him.”

………………………………

Director He Ping was exhausted both physically and mentally as he watched the turmoil outside.

He also felt that the attitude of people in the circle towards him had become strange. It couldn’t be said to be cold, but it was a little weird.

I always feel like I’m smiling but my heart is not.

There’s always something ironic in his words and in his eyes.

And what did Mr. Wang mean by that? He specifically said that Columbia and I had terminated our contract. Isn’t that just opening the wound? And he said that if there is a better future, we will never stop it. Does this mean that he can leave if he wants to?

At the same time, when the reporter interviewed Lin Xiao from Lightning Group, the other party’s attitude was very firm.

“Yes, that’s what happened.”

“We did extend an invitation to Director He Ping, but he has not yet agreed.”

“I think Director He is a very good director and he is extremely serious about filmmaking.”

“I’ve said it before, even though ‘Heroes of Heaven and Earth’ didn’t do well at the box office, it doesn’t prevent it from being a good film.”

“I believe that after Director He joins Lightning Entertainment, he will definitely bring us great surprises.”

“He is one of the best directors in the country.”

If it was changed to the previous one, people would think it was a divisive tactic.

But now that Lin Xiao has achieved such great success, any words he says will be filled with great weight. After listening to this, Director He Ping couldn’t help but feel warm and felt like he was helping someone in need.

The failure of “Heroes of Heaven and Earth” made him start to deny himself.

However, Leader Ergou openly affirmed his abilities.

The key point is that Leader Ergou has never been defeated so far.

Therefore, what he said was full of authority.

Director He Ping, who originally thought that he would not consider anything at all, now discovered that the balance in his heart was tilting more and more towards Lightning Entertainment.

A $10 million TV series with global distribution.

The temptation is just too great.

Didn’t I do my best to promote Heroes of Heaven and Earth in order to go international? Didn’t I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang and Chen and become an international director?
……………………

These few months are destined to be a glorious time for Lightning Group.

Just a few days after the box office miracle of “Love Is Not Blind” came out.

Only this time, the news came from the financial circle.

Jiayuan.com, a subsidiary of Lightning Group, is planning to go public in the United States, and the operator is Merrill Lynch.

As a result, many reporters went to interview Merrill Lynch’s senior executives in China.

Finally, Merrill Lynch China’s top management gave a clear message.

“Yes, that’s what happened.”

“In fact, this matter is almost completed. Maybe in October or November, Jiayuan.com, a subsidiary of Lightning Group, will be listed on Nasdaq.”

“As for how many shares will be issued? How much will one share cost? How much money will be raised? I have no idea.”

“We can only say that this is a company with great potential, and its financial report and revenue are excellent.”

“And according to relevant authoritative statistics, it has a market share of more than 85% in the domestic matchmaking market, which is an absolute leader, and there is no challenger in sight.”

“Its offline business activities are very successful. In addition, Facebook’s professional advertising model has given a very surprising answer on Jiayuan.com.”

“This is a company with a bright future and we are very, very bullish on it.”

Although Merrill Lynch China did not disclose relevant data for this IPO, some resourceful reporters made judgments through various channels and made them public.

“According to forecasts, the funds raised by Jiayuan.com this time may reach 1 million US dollars!”

“And the valuation of Jiayuan.com by investors may reach US$4 million!”

As soon as this news came out, it once again caused a huge sensation.

Four hundred million dollars?!
Lightning Group has several subsidiaries.

Lightning Music, Lightning Entertainment, Facebook, Lightning Games, Jiayuan.com.

The market value of Jiayuan.com alone is US$4 million?
So what is the market value of the entire Lightning Group?
How much is the worth of Master Ergou?

………………

Note: I finally finished writing this. I am so tired! I got up at 6 o’clock this morning to go out and do some work. I didn’t come back until noon! Dear handsome benefactors, can you give me some monthly tickets for the cakes? I kowtow to you!
