Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 34: The Queen of Children's Songs Makes a Stunning Debut!

Shen Gongbao didn't seem to care much about whether Liu Yifei was willing to join the studio.

Liu Yifei's addition is the icing on the cake.

On the one hand, if she were a teammate, Shen Gongbao could also mess with Liu Yifei whenever he had time and rack up some rewards.

To be honest, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a good temper and personality. She can take a joke and is a very promising comedian.

Sometimes it's not fun to do something alone; you need teammates.

On the other hand, with Snow Leopard Studio being a newly established studio, the addition of more well-known celebrities can generate buzz for the studio and benefit its development.

Of course, Shen Gongbao also admitted that he had his own agenda and really wanted to try Liu Yifei's taste. Joining the studio would make things easier.

When everything you do is based on the other person's needs and you can accurately address their pain points, things often become very simple.

That evening, Li Xue persuaded Li Bingbing, who even called Shen Gongbao directly to inquire about the studio's first film.

Shen Gongbao chatted with her for a while and gave her a big promise, which made Sister Bingbing very satisfied.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoli also had a detailed discussion with Shen Gongbao. After understanding the specific details, she agreed to join the Snow Leopard Studio.

With everything settled, the next step was execution, and Shen Gongbao entrusted this task to Li Xue.

On May 25th, Shen Gongbao, Li Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Li Xue, Jackie Chan, and Wang Zhongjun signed multiple contracts and the bylaws of Snow Leopard Studio.

Jackie Chan invested 3264 million yuan to acquire 1632 million yuan worth of Huayi Brothers stock and a 30% stake in Snow Leopard Studio.

Huayi sold 1088 million shares at a price of 1.5 yuan per share, valuing the company at 1632 million yuan, representing a 30% stake in Snow Leopard Studio.

Shen Gongbao, Li Bingbing, and Liu Yifei invested their signing fees, each holding 10% of the shares, and were also entitled to purchase 36 Huayi incentive shares.

As a manager of the studio, Li Xue contributed her management skills as equity and invested 300 million yuan in cash, holding a 10% stake in the studio.

The specific investment method involves Jackie Chan purchasing shares of Huayi Brothers at a price of 3 yuan per share, and then Huayi Brothers investing in Snow Leopard Studio.

To protect the investment rights of Jackie Chan and Huayi Brothers, a performance-based agreement was specifically signed:

If Snow Leopard Studio's cumulative profit does not exceed 7200 million RMB in the three full years of 2008, 2009, and 2010, the repurchase clause will be forcibly triggered. Shen Gongbao will pay Jackie Chan 5222.4 million RMB and Huayi Brothers 2611.2 million RMB to redeem 60% of the studio's shares, as well as 1088 million Huayi Brothers shares held by Jackie Chan.

After all the contracts were signed, Jackie Chan patted Shen Gongbao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You'll have a heavy responsibility after the studio is established!"

Wang Zhongjun was also beaming with joy.

He said in a strong voice, "Young people should work hard, especially since the Taoist priest is a genius and academic achiever, and with the help of two female stars, Bingbing and Liu Yifei, it shouldn't be difficult for the studio to make a profit of 2400 million yuan a year."

Objectively speaking, with the help of Jackie Chan and Huayi Brothers, as well as Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei, plus the strong newcomer Shen Gongbao, as long as everyone works hard, the performance target can indeed be achieved.

No one would have guessed that Shen Gongbao had already prepared for the failure of the bet and used the money to redeem the studio and Huayi's shares.

Based on Huayi's future development, by 2011, these 1088 million shares will be worth at least 500 to 600 million yuan.

At that time, Shen Gongbao will not only make a fortune in money, but he will also be rewarded with Taoist books for his actions of harming his teammates.

For example, right now, after the contract was signed, Shen Gongbao received feedback from the Daoist book.

[The player analyzed the needs of various parties using existing information, and through strategic alliances, achieved a shrewd and profitable scheme, establishing the Snow Leopard Studio and betraying Li Lianjie, for which they were rewarded with an upgrade to their Beast Taming skill.]

【Beast Taming Skill (lv2): Allows you to capture two pets and train them, increasing their growth rate by 10%.】

Seeing that his Beast Taming Technique had been upgraded, Shen Gongbao was very satisfied. He now had an extra pet slot, which meant he could finally win over Xiao Lixue and take the first step towards building his harem.

Seeing that Shen Gongbao didn't say anything, everyone assumed it was because he was under too much pressure, and they all offered words of comfort.

Liu Yifei: "Don't be afraid, Teacher Shen, I will work hard to earn money!"

Li Bingbing: "Don't panic, let's work harder. If one movie becomes a box office hit, we can achieve our performance targets."

Jackie Chan: "Don't panic, I'll give you the second male lead role in my next movie, a role with just as much screen time as mine!"

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but exclaim, "Who says there are no good people in the entertainment industry? Look at these people, aren't they all good people?"

Of course, you have to ignore Jackie Chan's cunning, which transferred all the investment risks to Shen Gongbao, and you also have to ignore the fact that Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei never mentioned helping Shen Gongbao cover the losses.

If the performance-based agreement fails to materialize and Huayi's IPO runs into problems, Shen Gongbao will be burdened with nearly 8000 million yuan in debt.

Let's not talk about money or interests; we're all good friends!

Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "There's no other way. I have to guarantee my brother's investment returns. I was the one who proposed setting up the studio, so I have to bear the responsibility and risk!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation, and no one could find fault with them.

He then asked Wang Zhongjun, "Boss Wang, when are we going to hold the press conference?"

The establishment of Snow Leopard Studio is currently only a private agreement; a grand signing ceremony will definitely be held to announce it to the public.

Wang Zhongjun asked in a consultative tone, "How about the 28th?"

For Huayi, the sooner the news is announced, the better; they need to generate buzz.

Shen Gongbao shook his head and said, "The 28th is too rushed. How about June 1st? It's the start of a new month."

"This lifestyle is good, what do you think, brother?"

"Then let's make it June 1st!" Jackie Chan decided. "It'll give us a few more days to prepare, and we can make it a grand affair."

After everyone finalized the itinerary and details, they returned to the film set, where "The King of Kung Fu" was still being filmed.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li's casts have been removed, and they are now able to perform some dramatic scenes with minimal physical action.

Upon arriving at the film set, Shen Gongbao approached Liu Yifei and said, "Don't forget our promise."

With no more worries about Huayi, Liu Yifei felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders and became noticeably more lively.

She asked with a smile, "What agreement?"

"You promised before, I can let you do one thing."

Liu Yifei had a bad feeling, but she still nodded: "That's right, go ahead and say it, I keep my word."

"Didn't we hold a signing ceremony for Snow Leopard Studio on June 1st? This event has attracted a lot of attention, and there will definitely be many media reporters present."

We can't be unprepared and ruin the atmosphere.

So I think you should prepare a show.

Liu Yifei immediately understood Shen Gongbao's idea; no wonder Shen Gongbao had insisted on changing the press conference date to June 1st.

But she still clung to the hope that Shen Gongbao could act like a decent human being.

So she stammered, "Wh...what program?"

"Sing a children's song, the one about family titles, the one about 'Daba' being the grandpa."

Sure enough!

Liu Yifei looked utterly hopeless!

Shen Gongbao is truly a combination of angel and devil, making him both lovable and hateful!

Seeing that Liu Yifei remained silent, Shen Gongbao deliberately provoked her, saying, "Seriously? You're not going to go back on your word, are you? My request isn't unreasonable."

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and said resignedly, "Okay, I'll sing!"

"That's great! I knew you were a person of your word!"

Also, my boxing lessons for you were delayed because of the studio's opening. Let's start learning to boxing tonight. After boxing, I'll teach you some nursery rhymes.

With Huayi Brothers' hype, Snow Leopard Studio's press conference is sure to be the focus of everyone's attention. This kind of occasion is perfect for stirring things up, and Shen Gongbao won't miss it.

Liu Yifei singing children's songs was just one of the programs.

When the time comes, the celestial being will transform into a children's song queen, and "Daddy's Daddy" will be released to great acclaim. Just thinking about it makes me want to have fun.

Seeing the smug smile on Shen Gongbao's face, Liu Yifei clenched her fists, feeling incredibly angry!

The thought of having to sing a children's song at the press conference, especially one like "Daddy's daddy calls grandpa," made Liu Yifei want to crawl into a hole.

But there's no way around it; one can't be untrustworthy.

Liu Yifei could only endure this, but she secretly vowed to find a chance to get revenge!
