1059 [There are no two in the limelight]
Xiang Nan and Ling Xiangqian later held a wedding in Shanhai City, and invited local relatives, friends, classmates, and teachers.
"Tiankuo, Qianqian, I knew you were promising, and you really did not disappoint the teacher." Director Pan praised with a smile, "Work hard in the future, you are now a role model for our Zhenhua classmates to learn from, we must give them
Take the lead."
Xiang Nan is now a second-level associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one step away from becoming a researcher. The rank of a researcher is equivalent to professor or deputy department level, which is still very prestigious.
Not to mention that he also wrote so many best-selling books. On their Zhenhua Middle School campus alone, several books were copied a day.
Ling Xiangqian now runs a media company, and the videos she releases are also very popular. Especially after the release of "Huang Pi Zi Grave", she raised 100 million yuan, making her a very successful person.
Zhenhua Middle School has graduated tens of thousands of students over the years, and we have never seen anyone better than them, so everyone is proud of them.
"Don't worry, Director Pan, we will definitely continue to work hard." Xiang Nan smiled.
…
In addition to Director Pan, Teacher Wu Wenlu, Teacher Yu Dan, Teacher Zhang Feng, and Teacher Zhang Ping, there were also many students who stayed in the local area to attend the wedding, including Mi Qiao.
"Benben and I have now opened our own B&B. It is located on the outskirts of Shanhai City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The environment is great." She smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "Many people go to our place to play and stay in our hotel."
Shop, eat our skewers, you are welcome to play when you have time~"
"Opening a store there will also help Mi Qiao recuperate." Benben added, "Her condition has been relatively stable in the past few years, but she just can't be too tired."
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
He had just taken Mi Qiao's pulse, but her illness still could not be cured. She could only nurse her back to health slowly and try to prolong her life as much as possible.
But seeing that she was living happily made him feel relieved.
…
In 2015, Lingtian Media, which raised 100 million yuan, made much bigger moves than before. Two TV series started shooting at the same time.
One is "The Middle Game of the Antique Game" and the other is "The Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Wonderful Ancient City".
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is basically the same cast, with the protagonist Li Xian, the second male lead Qiao Sha, the female lead Shirley Yang starring Wang Zixuan (the little goddess in "River God", Li Weijuan in "To Youth"), and the second female lead Yingzi starring Zhu
Starring Yan Manzi.
The total investment is 30 million yuan. After all, there are a lot of special effects used in this movie, such as Jingjue Ancient City, Niutoushan Underground Palace, etc. It would be impossible to produce special effects worth 30 million yuan.
"The Middle Game of the Antique Game" stars Xia Yu as Wishes, Qiao Zhenyu as Yao Bueran, and Cai Wenjing as Huang Yanyan... Xiang Nan has seen this version before and found it pretty good.
Moreover, although Xia Yu and Qiao Zhenyu have become famous for a long time, their salary is not expensive. Although Cai Wenjing played the lead female lead in "The Tomb of the Yellow Pier" and received a good response, the attention of online dramas is not as high as that of celebrities.
It’s a drama, so the pay isn’t high.
The cost of this play is also 30 million.
…
In 2015, the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" starring Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Shu Qi, and angelababy and adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was officially released, and subsequently won a box office of 1.67 billion yuan.
All of a sudden, the popularity of the IP "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" has exploded. Numerous film and television companies in the industry hope to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp".
Wantu Pictures, which previously spent 40 million to buy the film and TV adaptation rights of eight novels, was first called a fool. Only now do we know how big a bargain they got.
If all eight books were to be adapted into movies, with this quality and this box office, it would be a huge profit. Forty million is nothing, four hundred million is not much.
However, the film and web drama adaptation rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" have been sold, leaving only the TV drama adaptation rights.
TV series about tomb robbing are actually not easy to gain star status. After all, tomb robbing is an illegal act and should not be widely publicized. Like the online dramas launched by Lingtian Media, the stories have been significantly modified.
Therefore, no one dared to ask for the TV adaptation rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" originally. But now that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is so popular, some film and television companies are still willing to give it a try.
Xiang Nan was also unambiguous and directly shouted out a 10 million authorization.
Anyway, he is not short of money now. Do you want love? You must know that over the years, he has been speculating in real estate, stocks and coins. His net worth is not tens of billions but also billions.
I don’t dare to say that I have to fight against capital, but at least I have achieved financial freedom early on.
Moreover, he has just been promoted to researcher. At a young age, he is responsible for leading the team to study astrophysics. It can be said that he has become a technological leader in this field.
So now, he wants money, fame, and status. He doesn't need to look at the face of capital, but capital wants to look at his face.
In the end, Huanrui bought all eight parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" for 80 million. They were ready to take a gamble.
…
At the end of 2015, "Antique Game" was launched on Tencent Video and received tens of millions of clicks on the same day. The total subscription volume exceeded 2 billion, creating astonishing profits of hundreds of millions.
In 2016, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" was officially launched. This online drama was even more ruthless, with over 100 million views on the day it was launched. The total subscription volume was nearly 6 billion, and the profits created made Tencent Video even more popular.
Blinded.
Therefore, in 2016, Tencent Video also invested in Lingtian Media.
Lingtian Media was founded only four years ago, and its valuation has increased hundreds of times from a million-level valuation at the beginning to a current valuation of 1.8 billion.
Such achievements naturally caused an uproar in the outside world.
…
However, both Xiang Nan and Ling Xiangqian knew that the media reports were too exaggerated.
Although Lingtian Media's initial start-up capital was only 500,000 yuan, because of its symbolic price of one yuan, it obtained "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Tomb Robbers Notes", "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty", "Old Martial Arts", "Tiankeng",
It has the web drama adaptation rights for many novels such as "Antique Game", so its valuation is seriously underestimated.
Based on the popularity of these IPs at that time, Lingtian Media’s valuation should actually be around 30 million. After all, so many popular IPs are also a huge intangible wealth.
However, media reports pay attention to "the words are not shocking and the death is endless", and naturally the more exaggerated the better.
In fact, Lingtian Media’s valuation increased sixty times in four years, which is quite remarkable.
After Lingtian Media received capital injection from Tencent Video, it gradually became a film and television giant.
Subsequently, at Xiang Nan's suggestion, it filmed "Dear, Beloved", "Settle Down", "Little Farewell", "Little Joy", "Mountains and Seas", etc., gradually becoming a company that only produces online short films.
A small video media company has grown into a small giant in the film and television industry.
As a result, Ling Xiangqian has been rated by the media many times as one of the most influential women in the mainland entertainment industry, stealing the limelight.
…
In 2017, Yu Zhouzhou went to Africa to collect information and encountered an epidemic there.
After Lin Yang received the news, he flew to her side immediately.
Although Yu Zhouzhou's feelings for him have always been indifferent for so many years, Lin Yang has never given up.
And under the raging epidemic, at a critical moment of life and death, Yu Zhouzhou finally figured out that she really couldn't live without Lin Yang.
If she fell ill and died now, the person who would be most sorry would be Lin Yang.
