8 p.m.

    In a private room of a hotel in the East China Sea.

    A well-dressed young man in his twenties sat at the table, ignoring all kinds of delicacies brought in front of him, staring at the LCD TV hanging on the wall next to him.

    On TV, Donghai satellite TV is broadcasting you from the stars starring Mai Xiaoyu and Chen Qiaoen.

    The young man''s name is Jason. He is the youngest son of Chen Xiangdong. After studying in the United States, he has been wandering in the United States and came back not long ago. This time, Chen Xiangdong brought him to the East China Sea to arrange him to enter the Sea Union line selection training.

    In the past two years, China''s film and television industry has exploded: in terms of TV dramas, actors'' pay has broken through the sky again and again; In terms of film, China has become the second largest ticket warehouse in the world, close to the United States.

    In view of this, the sea union group has increased its investment in the film and television industry, and Jason has also been arranged to join the Sea Union cinema to fully understand the domestic film and television industry.

    "Jason, eat! You''re in your twenties. Did you watch TV every day when you were in the United States? Don''t go back this time. Stay in the cinema and study hard with your second and third uncles, worry more about work and watch less boring TV dramas!" Chen Xiangdong scolded.

    "Dad, why do you just talk about me? Second and third uncles are watching!"

    Jason said a word, Chen Nannan and Chen Xiangxi took back their eyes and smiled awkwardly at their eldest brother Chen Xiangdong.

    Chen Nannan: "I haven''t seen Jon for a long time. Her mother and I can only see her on TV."

    Chen Xiangxi: "Jon''s TV play is good-looking. Qianqian came back two days ago and forced me to accompany her to see it on the computer in the middle of the night."

    Jason frowned and looked at them: "second and third uncles, don''t you think there is a problem with Mengren company?"

    "What''s the problem?"

    "As far as I know, why, which was popular at the beginning of the year, was produced by Meng Ren; the legend of Zhen Huan, which was popular in May, was also produced by Meng Ren; in my opinion, the star at the end of the year was no less than the legend of Zhen Huan, which was also produced by Meng Ren."

    Speaking of this, Jason stopped talking and looked proudly at the three brothers Chen Xiangdong, Chen Nannan and Chen Xiangxi, with a taste of consideration in his eyes.

    The meaning is obvious: I''ve already said that. Haven''t you understood it?

    Chen Nannan: "

    Chen Xiangxi: "

    Chen Xiangdong slapped and said, "I''ve grown up since I came back from the United States. I dare to sell off in front of my elders!"

    Jason rubbed his head with grievances on his face and said bitterly: "don''t you think these three plays are too concentrated and wasteful to be broadcast within one year..."

    According to him, "why", "Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Star" are TV dramas produced by the same company. They are popular and have a far-reaching impact. They are expected to win the viewing champion of that year or impact the major TV Drama Awards in China next year.

    Due to the pressure of the ban, the broadcast of Zhen Huan had to be arranged in April and could not be postponed; Then the star should make way for it and spare enough time to maximize the potential of the legend of Zhen Huan, so as to ensure the maximum revenue.

    Even if you are in a hurry, you can broadcast it next year. There is no need to make a situation of "cute drama vs Cute drama".

    "... in view of this, I have reason to doubt that there are defects in the layout of Mengren film and television executives at the macro strategic level. Such a company is doomed to be difficult to grow up and do not deserve a cousin."

    Chen Xiangxi thought: "no one can guarantee the viewing effect before the TV series is broadcast. Maybe Meng people don''t know that their star will be so popular after it is broadcast."

    "Uncle, you''re right, but when we arrange the film in the cinema, we will also evaluate the film and estimate that the film may reach the box office, so as to determine the premiere film arrangement rate. Mengren film and television has been established for so many years and has shot a large number of popular dramas, and there''s no reason to lack market judgment on its own TV dramas. If that''s the case, cousin doesn''t have to stay in Mengren."

    Chen Nan then said, "your cousin is going to set up a personal studio."

    "Good, second uncle! The tiger fighting brothers go to battle. Let''s operate my cousin''s studio. Whether it''s a film or a TV play, my cousin now has a good appeal. Then we will expand my cousin''s studio and make it the first brand of Hailian. The company can also reap a high return on investment by investing in the production of film and TV plays."

    "What you are most capable of is that mouth." Chen Xiangdong waved impatiently. "If you don''t understand the actual situation, don''t rush to show off your point of view. On Chengfu''s means, Mai Xiaoyu is much better than you, and you deserve to evaluate him... Go, take a la carte and sit there and watch your TV. Don''t disturb me to talk with your second and third uncles."

    Jason''s seven disagreed and eight were angry. He sat on the sofa and called the waiter to order a beer chicken wing package. He ate and drank while watching TV. He also secretly touched and pricked his ears to listen to Chen Xiangdong.

    He heard his second Uncle Chen Nannan defend him.

    "If you think about what Jason said, it''s also reasonable. Let''s not say anything else. Just say the awards ceremony of major domestic TV dramas next year, these three films are likely to face the situation of ''killing each other''. It''s better to separate them and put the star after the new year as the opening drama."

    Chen Xiangdong asked, "what about nine doors after ten years?"

    The Chinese new year will be earlier next year. The Spring Festival will be celebrated on January 20, resulting in the overlap of Christmas files and new year files, but leaving Valentine''s Day files empty.

    "Nine doors" is scheduled to be released on December 24, just to get through the Christmas and new year stalls. "Stars" is scheduled to premiere in early December. The more popular it is after broadcasting, the better the linkage and publicity of the film "nine doors", which also stars Mai Xiaoyu.

    "Brother, do you mean that the stars is to pave the way for nine doors?" Chen Xiangxi put down his chopsticks and thought.

    "It''s not just stars, Bu Bu and why." Chen Xiangdong lowered his voice. "Third, how much do you eat now?"

    "Less than three percent."

    "Why is it so slow?"

    "There are too many opponents. From the perspective of disk and operation methods, at least a dozen institutions secretly scavenge and hoard the shares of Optimus group. Fortunately, we have a tacit understanding and strive to control the stock price. A few months ago, we jointly suppressed hot money trying to steal chickens and failed. Even so, the stock price has risen by more than 30% this year."

    "I don''t understand the specific operation. I''ll just give you a bottom. The old man said that the shareholding ratio should not exceed 5%, the more the better, and don''t care too much about the cost."

    Chen Nannan felt a move in his heart when he heard the speech: "the old man is so optimistic about Mai Xiaoyu? Does cute people really hope to buy Optimus?"

    "If you are really optimistic, you will not limit the shareholding ratio of no more than 5%. However, the old man believes that waiting until Meng people start the acquisition war will pose a great threat to Optimus. It is worth fighting."

    "Four or six? Cute people have such a big win?"

    "Otherwise, why do you think Mengren has continuously broadcast three popular TV dramas, why, the legend of Zhen Huan and stars, including nine doors, to prepare for the acquisition war this year?"

    "I see!" Jason suddenly ran over with beer and fried chicken. "Cute people want snake to swallow elephant to buy Optimus. They have been making subtle public opinion all year..."

    Three phenomenal TV dramas a year, plus two phenomenal variety shows, as well as the overseas popularity of dramas such as Gong, Qing Shi and Bu Bu, which are exaggerated and heated by the media, are all to repeatedly create a cute super reputation in the hearts of the audience.

    These are the public opinion cards played by Meng people.

    When the acquisition war officially starts, Mengren is likely to be supported by small and medium-sized retail investors holding Optimus shares and some neutral institutions. In the next year''s general election of the board of directors and supervisors of Optimus group, we will increase the chips for Meng people to finally join Optimus group.

    Nine doors is the moral card played by Meng people, striving for the moral commanding height, and also striving for more chips for their acquisition of Optimus!

    "Dad, am I right?"

    Chen Xiangdong refused to comment: "continue."

    "There are many international acquisition cases, but no enterprise has ever taken this approach. Although Mengren''s doing so will help improve the acquisition success rate, it also shows that it is not strong enough and has to rely on external forces."

    "We Hailian can provide some help for Mengren, but ultimately it depends on Mengren himself. Therefore, my grandfather asked that the shareholding ratio should not exceed 5% in order to advance and retreat freely and ensure the maximization of the group''s interests."

    "Compared with the strength and scale of Mengren and Optimus, Mengren is obviously at a disadvantage. If Mengren''s means are limited to this, it''s difficult to succeed in the acquisition unless they have a backhand. However, Optimus must be on guard, so I''m still not optimistic about Mengren."

    Jason hasn''t been back for a long time and has limited understanding of domestic forms. However, with limited understanding and a few words just heard, we can make such an analysis, which makes Chen Nannan and Chen Xiangxi nod and praise frequently, congratulate Chen Xiangdong on giving birth to a good son, and feel that there are successors in the Chen family.

    Chen Xiangdong explained with a smile that his little son was good at oral Kung Fu, lacked practical operation and was not calm enough, so the old man arranged him to polish in the Hailian cinema. The vigorous development of the film and television industry contains a lot of opportunities and attracts more and more funds. It is also a good choice for training young people.

    Without saying a word, Jason became light again and began to comment on the way Mengren acquired Optimus again, saying "what would I do if I were you?".

    Chen Xiangdong frowned again, scolded him, and then asked Chen Xiangxi, "third, you first knew Mai Xiaoyu. The old man asked me to ask you. With your understanding of him, does he have any future moves?"

    "There must be!" Chen Xiangxi replied without thinking.

    "So sure?"

    Recalling the situation when he first met Mai Xiaoyu, Chen Xiangxi nodded seriously: "he is very cautious and likes to take the edge of the sword. He has planned this matter for ten years. I don''t believe he has no back moves."

    "That''s just right. In a few days, the premiere of nine doors will be held in Yanjing. Ask him in private."

    "I''ll try. He''s very tight lipped and doesn''t necessarily say."

    "Then you tell him that if his back hand is strong enough, the Hailian cinema can consider raising cards with Meng people."

    Join hands!

    Chen Xiangxi was stunned.

    Needless to say, that must be what the old man meant.

    The old man attaches so much importance to Mai Xiaoyu''s acquisition of Optimus, which is beyond the imagination of everyone in the Chen family.

    So that at ten o''clock in the evening, when Chen Xiangxi came home, he didn''t slow down from that sentence.

    "Husband, how did you come back? The stars are all over."

    Liu Qianqian went over, helped him take off his coat and gave it to the servant to hang up.

    Chen Xiangxi hugged Liu Qianqian and kissed him: "brother came with Jason. We talked about work when we had dinner in the evening."

    "Oh, don''t work too hard." Liu Qianqian took his arm and sat on the sofa. "Husband, when do you have a holiday?"

    "Why, do you want to go on vacation?"

    "I want to see the snow, eat fried chicken and drink beer..."

    Fried chicken and beer, because the "stars" heroine Chen Qiaoen''s line "how can there be no fried chicken and beer when it snows" is like a virus on the Internet.

    In December, many places in the North successively ushered in the first snow this year. The first snow scene broadcast by netizens can be seen everywhere on social networking platforms such as microblog. The most popular greeting is "have you eaten fried chicken and beer in the early snow this year".

    The three northeastern provinces have long been covered with snow, but they have not stopped the local audience from crazy love for "fried chicken and beer" when facing the snow.

    "Fried chicken and beer" has become the most fashionable word when people face the snow without suspense.

    The temperature in the south is high and it rarely snows, but the "fried chicken beer package" can be!

    Many hotels in China are looking for business opportunities and timely launch "fried chicken beer package" to meet customer needs, even western restaurants are no exception.

    Many hotels in Yanjing claim that their fried chicken and beer are the most authentic. Because the fried chicken in the star is the fried chicken of the old Zou family. At present, only Yanjing has it to sell.

    Laozoujia fried chicken brand is famous all over the country, and there are an endless stream of consultants interested in joining the chain store. A week after the star was broadcast, five old zoujia fried chicken franchise stores have appeared on the streets of Yanjing. Business is booming, and customers who come to buy have lined up in a long line.

    As can be seen from the fire of stars, countless audiences were poisoned, and more than half of them were women.

    Poisoning is not only the ordinary audience, but also the stars.

    In early December, when Yanjing ushered in the first snow, Gao Yuanyuan, who was attending the event in Yanjing, said on her microblog, "fried chicken and beer in snowy days", which made fans sigh that the goddess wanted fat regardless of her body.

    Guo Tao mentioned in his microblog that "tonight she ate fried chicken and I drank beer. I will try my best to protect her from growing up. Before her ''maishouzheng'' appeared... How do you feel that my daughter suffered a loss. @ Meng Renguan Wei"

    Haiqing said that watching the stars has therapeutic effect: "it''s not easy to rest for a day and catch a cold. Fortunately, you from the stars make your nose stuffy and headache less painful!"

    Li Bingyu posted a picture of intoxicated enjoyment with a coffee cup on her microblog, imitating the expression of the heroine Chen Qiaoen.

    Yang Mi complained on his microblog: "as a cute artist, he has to watch his own TV series and wait for updates on the computer every night... Boss, you know, the day of chasing the drama can''t hurt! @ Mengren official wechat"

    ……

    The star is poisoned deeply and the madness of chasing drama is beyond imagination.

    Some fans claim that according to their incomplete statistics, "stars" has been broadcast for less than three weeks, and more than 100 stars on both sides of the Strait have mentioned "stars".

    That''s true of stars, not to mention ordinary audiences.

    After the star was broadcast, it was like a fire in winter, which exploded the TV, Internet and media, and warmed the hearts of many viewers.

    On the Internet, there are endless topics about stars. A familiar voting topic has attracted the attention of many netizens:

    "Sugar Yan vs Liu Shi vs Chen Qiaoen, who has the strongest sense of CP with the boss!"
