"I want a heartwarming story of family, love, friendship..."
"The heroine should be close to her without makeup, and she and Zhu Xichun's character are husband and wife. There is also a child's role, which is the hero's daughter. The role is also very important. Let's play the little girl who played the earthquake."
There was no nonsense or shirk. Wei Tao briefly talked about the settings of multiple characters in the play. Lao Xu and Zhu Xichun played the husband and wife. Even if they were wearing light make-up, it would not be a big problem. He just said that the filming would be very hard, except for a lot of In addition to the green screen shooting that had to be done with post-production special effects, it was impossible for every actor to deal with some outdoor scenes in a relaxed state. Come on, be prepared to endure hardships.
If the director wants to direct, if he takes out the core story part and refuses to accept changes, if he agrees, then it will be no problem for him to direct, and the character should have more extraordinary performance in terms of sporadic comedy effects.
Today, Wei Tao is very famous in the relevant circles, and there are many people who know him well. They all say that Mr. Wei is generous and generous, and Mr. Wang was very confident when he came and did not feel that he would be rejected.
Good actors, good directors, and a good collaborator.
No matter how much the investment is, no matter what the subject matter is, if you, Mr. Wei, dare to shoot, we will dare to follow you. "The Legend of the Villain" has fully explained the problem. Mr. Wei is young and understands the tastes of today's young people better. He has already picked the first mature fruit in the new film market.
Will you still be able to pick it next? Da Wang always has confidence in him.
As for Wang Shuo, when he saw Yan Xiyu's appearance as a little girl next to Wei Tao, he knew that some things would not be an obstacle for him. Even the various pressures had no power. To a certain extent, he would also get additional benefits. The help may come from the invisible.
Relieving the pressure is equivalent to an extra boost.
"If we just want to make money, if we two cooperate, I don't need a script, I just need an investment figure." Wei Tao also praised Wang Shuo and Director Pao. Even if Jiang Lang is exhausted, even if Guizhou Donkey has no skills, if Wang Shuo's writing ability really adds Filming with a director will always be a comedy that makes a lot of money. As for the failure that the director faced in the later period when he wanted to improve his style, that was his personal choice.
Repeated style comedy, find the right time and promote it accordingly, not to mention the hit, it can make the audience feel relaxed and happy when they walk out of the cinema, and there is no pressure to make money.
We didn’t have dinner together, but simply chatted for a while, and the main creative lineup such as Liu Dehua, Xu Jinglei, Zhu Xichun, Chao Ge, Da Hei Niu, Xiao Zifeng, etc. was directly finalized.
The script is not yet available. Investments within 150 million can be entered into the account of the production team at any time.
Watching Wei Tao, Yan Xiyu, and Zhu Xichun leave, Mr. Da Wang squinted his eyes and sighed: "Now in front of him is a road to the sky. Making a movie or something is just for fun."
Old Xu smiled slightly: "Don't they all say that he entered the film and television industry to flatter his woman?"
Director: "He is very responsible in this regard. I thought he would let Damimi be the heroine this time."
Mr. Da Wang gave an answer that can be explained: "He cast a fairy tale drama for the other party. After filming, he is in post-production. It is about to be filmed. Analysis is very likely to become a hit. Although he did not participate in the filming, his style is It’s fixed, you just have to concentrate on filming, and you’re not allowed to skip scenes or be half-hearted. In the movie “Skyscraper” that Dababy did two years ago, except for the shooting of Running Man, he didn’t come out to participate in any activities, so he calmed down on the set. It took two months of filming."
Everyone understands what he said. The TV series in which Damimi plays the leading role will definitely need a large-scale publicity before it is broadcast on the star, and it is very likely to conflict with the schedule of this drama.
Lao Xu was unhappy: "Why can't I be more suitable?"
Wang Shuo suddenly said: "Take care of Zhu Xichun, and you will reciprocate the favor."
Judging from people, this person is indeed unique. Everyone nodded, no matter whether it was for those reasons or to give face to the media. Mr. Wei will not regret it if he agrees. Performing his role well is the foundation and his duty. Apart from work, being a teacher is also a way of showing attitude.
Wang Shuo frowned slightly, smoked a cigarette, and said with some uncertainty: "I always feel that he doesn't care about these investments. Even if the creative stories are all his, it makes me feel that all of this is nothing." It's a bit casual to waste a little bit of his energy."
Others don't believe it, but Da Wang always believes it. They all think that Wei Tao is crying wolf, but this guy doesn't seem to have any interest in the fat people in this circle. He does his own thing very independently. He seems to be indifferent to any evaluation from the outside world. I never paid attention to it. The purpose of investing seems to be very clear. I am just here to win people over. It has nothing to do with whether I make money or not. I am not interested in this either.
………………
When I saw Zhou Yanxue again, I felt that she had changed a lot. She was no longer the same as before. She had a simple ponytail, and the delicate and pretty look on her body was much lighter, and she was more calm.
When he saw Wei Tao, he stood up very proactively, reached out his hand and shook hands with him in a formal manner: "Mr. Wei, long time no see."
"Long time no see, I'm getting darker and thinner." He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, let alone a cute girl. He didn't let go of the past and could continue to do it. The other party gave up. He was the one who took advantage and won, so there was no need to pursue him fiercely. He didn't care whether this was a trap dug by others. The meeting that Zhou Fen opened was a trap, so Zhou Fen would have to take care of him later. I jump down, otherwise would Zhou Fen have any face?
Zhou Yanxue smiled lightly and sat down again: "Really? That's good."
Sun Jing felt that he no longer recognized her. Was she still the weird Zhou Yanxue? Not only was the pretense of scholarly family status gone, but the whole person was completely different from before, as if he was a completely different person.
Order, eat, and chat.
Seeing Zhou Yanxue eating, everyone was a little surprised. They had changed, completely changed.
I can eat, and when I eat, I don’t deliberately show the posture of a beautiful woman eating. I have no image at all. I eat quickly, eat a lot, leave no leftovers, and there are no bones, fish bones and other food residues in front of me. , tidy up, and when everyone thinks they can’t eat anymore, she will take the initiative to order another bowl of rice. The amount of leftovers on the table is a bit worse than the amount of packed food. There is not much left, so packing is not worth it. , normality is what’s left.
She ate it all, leaving nothing behind.
"I want to go to the army tomorrow to see Yuan Xuefeng (the fourth generation who stood up for her, is now sent to the army for training)."
Wei Tao nodded: "I should go, let me know when I leave and help prepare some things."
Zhou Yanxue looked at him: "Let's go together, there is a supermarket downstairs."
Wei Tao: "Okay."
Four people, one man and three women, were shopping in the supermarket. Such a combination naturally attracted many people's glances. Sun Jing was not used to it. She fell behind and whispered to Yan Xiyu: "What's going on with these two people?"
Yan Xiyu looked at the two people who were each pushing a small cart to buy things, and said with a smile: "Turn hostility into friendship." Zhou Yanxue also wanted to thank Wei Tao for finding a goal in her life and finding someone to like each other. The most suitable husband."
"Ah." Sun Jing whispered: "Can she and Yuan Xuefeng make it?"
"pretty close."
After a while, Sun Jing shook his head slightly and sighed: "Fortunately, I hugged my thigh very early. I have to work hard. My thigh is getting thicker and thicker. I won't be able to hug her one day."
Yan Xiyu chuckled. Sun Jing's philistine truthfulness was also her shining point. Regardless of whether this person was good or not, being truthful was also a very comfortable and very good label for a friend.
………………
Looking at the mobile phone in front of him, Wei Tao skillfully operated it. After so many years of rebirth, it was just like using the iPhone 4 again. It took only a short period of adaptation to regain the familiarity of the online world at his fingertips.
A little smaller and a little rough, but this is from the perspective of someone who has seen the landscape of smartphones ten years from now. Now, when taking pictures and playing videos, the era of smartphones does not start from being able to do it, but from a new era. Multi-auxiliary functions begin.
Maybe now, this is not an auxiliary function, but the main function.
[The timeline has been advanced again. 】
Wei Tao no longer thinks about why it is ahead of schedule, what investment is enough, what pressure breaks out. Those reasons are no longer considered. The machine is out, and there is no need to announce that it will enter the mobile phone industry. The official announcement should be released at the same time as the product.
I have a product, and my confidence is strong. Now it is obvious that Rebus has come up with an option that you believe in me or not. Before my product is released, there is still a probability of success. Let’s see if you dare to place a bet.
If my product is released and officially put into the market, the risk I will take and the risk you are taking on your current investment will most likely be equal. It is a question of whether you bet or I bet. But before that, it is not clear whether I am betting on it. I am confident to do this, which is equivalent to giving you a chance now. If I really wait until my product is released successfully, then it will not be resources and money now. For those who can enter the market, the current valuation cannot be used as a reference to enter the market.
Personnel from various major investment banks have arrived. This kind of news is not a secret here in Wei Tao. Brother Xiao Ma also brought Penguin capital and has reserved a seat early. The previous investors are also eager to give it a try.
Liu Qin first went to Wei Tao for a late-night snack. The two of them sat at the food stall, eating spicy stir-fried seafood and kebabs, and each drank eight bottles of beer.
Both of them are good drinkers and chat in a relatively low voice. Otherwise, if the people next to them hear talking about tens of millions or hundreds of millions, they will think that these two are bragging regardless of location.
A person who started a business worth hundreds of millions would sit here eating skewers, drinking beer, and two skewers of lamb kidneys per person?
Wei Tao wears sportswear, flip-flops, a large T-shirt, and a hat. Unless you are someone who pays close attention to him and is familiar with him, you have to get very close to recognize who this is? Regarding Liu Qin, except for people in the industry, no one recognized what he looked like in reality.
"This time, I don't have much chance here?"
Facing Liu Qin, who came to do ideological work, Wei Tao behaved very calmly, as the old saying goes: "I have said and made promises, so there is no need to worry about not keeping them."
You think that Xiaomi will develop well and I will regret it, but I know that Xiaomi will be better in the future, and I still will not regret it now, and I will definitely do what I promised.
Rebus wanted to make everyone friends, and did not want to complicate the relationship with each other in a blunt way. Liu Qin was his good friend, and Wei Tao was an influential and capable partner who could cause trouble. Partner, Rebus doesn't want to offend, because he is afraid that Wei Tao will be instigated by others when he is young, and when the time comes to cause trouble, both of us will lose face.
At this moment, Duowan was put aside by Rebus, and he was even prepared in his heart that if Wei Tao wanted to support him, he would be willing to suppress Li Xueliang over there for the sake of a good development environment for Xiaomi.
Which is more important? When most of today's Internet giants were still in the grassroots entrepreneurial stage, Rebus was already a big boss in the industry. He knew very well how to deal with some business matters.
"This time, because of the intervention of Xiao Ma and the others, the valuation will increase and may reach 4 billion US dollars. But you can rest assured that the financing amount will not be very high, and it will not have a great impact on your share."
Wei Tao's relaxation and indifference were not pretended, and he was just joking freely: "Then I guess Brother Ma is going to bother me again. I'm going to go back to the Northeast. Yanjing is too noisy here."
Liu Qin had a purpose that was his own and had nothing to do with Rebus. He looked at Wei Tao and said it directly. He gave up the roundabout way to understand it and said directly: "With a valuation of five billion US dollars, do you have any idea to provide some shares? To be honest, we want a little bit here, and the outside world also wants a little bit. Brother Xiao Ma will not give you such a high price."
After finishing eight bottles of beer, I paid the bill and stood up. It was twelve o'clock and the streets were still lively. Young couples were releasing their youthful vitality. Tourists who stayed up to spend the night in the city were always dotting the bustle of the streets. .
The two of them walked on the street in perfect harmony, taking their time and looking for the focus in the bustle. They didn't speak for a long time.
This is not a buy and sell business.
It doesn’t mean that you don’t have to sell it if you don’t want to sell it, nor does it mean that anyone can buy it just by putting up the money, nor does it mean that you will definitely get it just because the price is high.
Xiaomi's valuation is like being equipped with a rocket launcher. It rises so fast in a swish. Everything is no longer a simple division of interests. As its shareholder, if you are a small shareholder, there is no problem. Wei Tao maintains 20% share, this is obviously not in compliance with the 'rules'. Not only Rebus will not be willing to do it, but all shareholders and capable people outside who hold money in their hands will also not be willing.
If Wei Tao is just a businessman from Songjiang, an independent investor with no foundation who makes a fortune by casting a wide net, then the Xiaomi shares he holds at this moment are the original sin and will inevitably be attacked by many parties.
If you don't know what's interesting, then everyone will definitely make you aware of what's interesting.
Liu Qin is a messenger, and with this attitude, he has already recognized Wei Tao's strength.
What's left is whether Wei Tao is willing to offend others and make some friends. He won't use strong methods, but he will have an image of you.
"I have not underestimated Mr. Lei, nor have I underestimated the development of domestic smartphones. Now let me take some share. Mr. Liu, do you think I am short of money?"
Liu Qin waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Wei, don't get me wrong."
Wei Tao found a place beside a flower bed, squatted on the concrete platform at the edge of the flower bed, facing the lively street, and lit a cigarette. Smoking and drinking were indistinguishable. If you drank too much, cigarettes were naturally the best companion. vegetable.
"I know that many friends lead to many paths, but with this valuation, don't be ridiculous. Either exchange it for the shares that I recognize the prospect of, or wait for another round. I won't move in the D round, and I will transfer part of the E round. When the time comes, it’s up to you whether you still treat it as a favor or not.”
Liu Qin didn't mind the dust on the edge of the flower bed and sat down directly. After listening to Wei Tao's words, he nodded: "I will convey that, in fact, if it were me, I would hold it until half a year after the listing before making a decision. "
Wei Tao laughed, put out the cigarette butt on the edge of the flower bed, stood up, waved his hand, took the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can on the street. He stood at the edge of the road. In less than half a minute, Lu Jiang drove over.
After he left, Liu Qin walked for a while alone and stood on the steps of the closed subway entrance. The wind was still a bit cold at night. He shook his head to dispel the confusion caused by his drunken state and took out his mobile phone to make a call. : "He is not a stubborn person, but he also hopes that everyone will not underestimate others' vision. Let's see how many rounds of financing you have before going public. In the E round, he will transfer part of it. Whether it is worth it or not, you can consider it yourself? Lao Lei, you Do we only plan to raise funds to Series E and then no longer accept financing?”
Rebus's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I just found out that Professor Jing Fanjing just met him."
Liu Qin's eyes widened suddenly: "Didn't he just get married? Does he want to marry the Yan family?"
Rebus: "What are you thinking about? It's because of Bitcoin. He has been very optimistic about Bitcoin from the beginning and invested in it for the long term."
Liu Qin frowned: "Where are you? I'll be there right away."
Rebus did not answer Liu Qin’s previous question, but the lack of answer seemed ambiguous. For Liu Qin, who also felt that he would not raise too many rounds of financing, E round and F round was also his judgment.
[Wei Tao, so accurate. 】
………………
Talking about returning to the Northeast, how could Wei Tao leave? Regarding Xiaomi, he has already made an overall plan. If he really holds too much, he will release some in the E round.
He knows that Xiaomi's valuation in the E round is almost the market value of its listing. Its value from the E round until a few years after the listing is almost a few years in vain for investors. It did not successfully break out at the last moment, which also made people have mixed opinions about Rebus. In the past, Wei Tao only knew the results, but now he can understand it more or less. How can an industry of such a large scale and volume be stable after being listed on the market? The decline is already a very remarkable success.
His rebirth has changed some things. Wei Tao is now not sure whether Xiaomi will still be the same as the era he was familiar with. Holding Xiaomi shares and becoming a relatively large shareholder of Xiaomi is not only a matter of money, but also status. A manifestation, so in the previous plan, even if it still continued the model before his rebirth, and he had played in vain for those few years, he also recognized it.
Now there are so many people staring, and the eyes are staring from higher places. Are you fighting hard, or taking a step back at the critical moment?
Instead of taking money out of my pocket, it allows me to make money in advance. When the time comes, the option of having multiple friends and multiple paths is also quite good. Now, if there is a good replacement, I don't mind, but I guess there won't be any leverage to impress me.
There is another reason why he cannot leave Yanjing for the time being. Others can only see the newlywed Yan'er living apart in the two places. What is puzzling is why Cao Xiyu does not come to Yanjing to accompany him. The interpretation from others is that Wei Tao is in love He is used to making trouble, and he has recently become very close to the daughter of the Yan family. Do you dare to let your wife come to Yanjing? That's not a big problem with man-made explosions.
Similar rumors are no different from the gossip news in the entertainment industry. The audience is just a little smaller. People with money and status will stop gossiping? If the melon is big enough, the same gossip.
Shen Mei took her daughter away and went south to visit her husband.
Meng Zonghai also had a special talk with Guan Jinyue. He did not want her to be a shameless woman in her life. Guan Jinyue did not comment on this and still went her own way. She should study and work when she should, and she would not weaken her respect for teachers by half. .
In the end, Meng Zonghai could only sigh deeply. In terms of personal emotions, he felt even more disgusted with Wei Tao, a guy who was not a man's son.
Professor Jing was very busy, following his leader on an overseas inspection trip. Only Zhou Fen was left to handle the matter in detail. He also had the dignity and demeanor of an older man, and took the initiative to visit and invite him to ease the unhappy relationship between them.
Regarding virtual currency, Wei Tao became a non-staff member of a high-level research team. His metaphysical identification and speculation, which others called unreasonable, were accepted by Zhou Fen and others, but there were some things that needed to be submitted. The number on the desk is 'too high' and may not be supported by real data and evidence. There must be predictions signed by professional groups with affirmative opinions. The role of think tanks lies precisely in this.
It doesn't matter whether Wei Tao's determination is metaphysics. Zhou Fen and his people saw with their own eyes Wei Tao's 'investment' in Bitcoin.
Zhou Fen also took professionals to check all the buying records, analyzing and identifying each batch in each time period, and the conclusion was very clear: "As a retail investor, Wei Tao will hardly be able to buy without affecting the overall fluctuations." Everybody bought it.”
It didn't cost much, and it's not a final word.
Zhou Fen is sure of one thing. Wei Tao's optimism has nothing to do with the concept of 'not spending much money'. No matter how expensive it is, as long as it is within his ability, he will still make the current acquisition.
[Many of his behaviors resemble a paranoid. In my eyes, he is a very crazy paranoid. Every big move he makes is not a gamble by some crazy person. Every time he places a bet, he is full of confidence. We cannot understand this confidence, but it does not mean that this confidence is not supported by "identified data". 】
