Chapter 1455 1457 [Backdoor Listing]

  In October, Xiang Nan began to plan for the listing of Kylin Real Estate in Xiangjiang.

  Going public is not a simple matter. It needs to apply, accept hearings, recruit brokers, review accounts, public offering, listing and trading...

  Many companies have to be busy for several years in order to go public. Even so, there is no guarantee of 100% success.

  Therefore, there is another easy way called backdoor listing. First obtain a controlling stake in a listed company with a low market value, and then inject the assets of the parent company into it. In this way, its listing status can be used to realize the listing of the parent company.

  This phenomenon is very common in the Xiangjiang stock market, and some people even specialize in this kind of business. They acquire these listed companies with low market capitalization, divest their assets, and then sell them to companies that want to go public through a backdoor.

  Xiang Nan wants to take the route of backdoor listing. This is also a common method for Chinese companies to list in Hong Kong.

  For example, in 1992, Shougang acquired Xiangjiang Dongrong Iron and Steel, achieving a backdoor listing; in 1993, China Aerospace acquired Kangli Company, and Everbright acquired Ningfa International...

  Xiang Nan then contacted Peregrine Investment Company. This company was co-founded by Liang Botao and Du William, two former managers of Citicorp, and the behind-the-scenes funders are Li Jiacheng, Hu Yingxiang and other 18 wealthy people in Hong Kong. It can be said that they have abundant funds and powerful strength.

   Founded in 1988, in 1992, the profit reached 660 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be quite strong. Moreover, Liang Botao is very good at providing listing services for mainland companies, so he is also known as the godfather of red chips.

  Under the operation of Peregrine Investment Company, the listing plan of Kunpeng Real Estate is being promoted in an orderly manner.

  Buying shells, auditing accounts, asset restructuring, recruiting brokers, reporting for approval, issuing new shares, listing and trading...

  The so-called money can turn ghosts around. Under the influence of money, Peregrine also tried its best to promote the listing of Kunpeng Real Estate.

  …

   Entering November, Xiang Nan wrote a new script for Feng Xiaogang - "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin".

This script was originally written by the well-known writer Liu Heng in 1997. He also wrote "Ju Dou", "The Overlord of Western Chu", "Red Rose and White Rose", "A Lawsuit Against Qiu Ju", "Assembly Number" , "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and so on, are top-notch screenwriters in the Mainland.

   After Feng Xiaogang read the script, he thought it was really well written. The characters are very vivid. After reading the script, I feel that everyone is in front of me, vivid and vivid.

  So he knew it was a good script, as long as it was filmed, it would definitely look good, so he took it immediately.

  Feng Xiaogang then started casting.

   "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin", there are only three leading actors, Zhang Damin, Yun Fang, mother, and others are supporting roles.

  Feng Xiaogang considered it, and chose Feng Gong as the lead actor.

  On the one hand, he is a well-known comedian across the country, and has a certain box office appeal; on the other hand, the two of them have collaborated on "Father and Son" before, and they have a certain tacit understanding.

  Yunfang also don't take advantage of outsiders, and directly set up Xu Fan.

   As for the role of the mother, he originally wanted to find Teacher Zhao Lixie, but in 1995, Teacher Zhao had already started to feel ill. In addition, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and I have to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, so there is really no schedule.

  Finally, Xu Fan recommended Mr. Li Mingqi. The two of them have collaborated in "Chicken Feather in One Place" and "Story of My Family" before, and they highly praise her acting skills.

  Feng Xiaogang has also heard of her name, and after looking for her, she really deserves her reputation. Thus, the actor structure basically took shape. For other supporting roles, you can find them casually, as long as they don't pull your hips too much.

  …

   While Feng Xiaogang was busy preparing "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin", Zhang Yimou also found a new script, which was written by a well-known writer, and the name was "Speak Well".

  Comment began to write novels in 1986, and released a collection of personal short stories in 1994, which also won the Changbai Mountain Literature and Art Award. And it was "An Hong", one of the stories in this collection of short stories, that attracted Zhang Yimou's attention.

  Later, he found a commentary and cooperated with him to turn this short story into a script, and the name was changed to "Speak Well".

Xiang Nan knows that Commentary is one of the top screenwriters in the mainland. His works include "The Devil Is Coming", "The Sun Also Rises", "Let the Bullets Fly", "No Man's Land", "One Step Away" and so on. Said it was pretty awesome.

  The script of "Speak Well" is also really good, and it is one of Zhang Yimou's classic masterpieces. The phrase [An Hong's forehead misses you] is a classic.

   "Okay, Director Zhang, you have a good eye. I think this script is okay." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Professor Cheng, with your words, I feel relieved." Zhang Yimou smiled.

   This is his first attempt at directing an urban film, whether it will work or not, in fact, he has no idea, he just wants to try. After all, he can't always shoot Republic of China dramas and rural dramas, and he should get out of his comfort zone to make a living.

   And Xiang Nan's affirmation immediately gave him great confidence.

   Subsequently, Zhang Yimou also began to look for suitable actors.

   "Speak Well", there are a total of three protagonists, Zhao Xiaoshuai who strives to pursue love, Zhang Qiusheng who is innocently involved, and the beautiful and charming An Hong.

  Zhang Yimou plans to use old friends to play the role, Zhao Xiaoshuai will be played by Jiang Wen, Zhang Qiusheng will be played by Li Baotian, and An Hong will be played by Gong Li.

   But it is a pity that Gong Li has already received the "Jurassic Park 2" big pie, and there is no schedule for the time being.

"Jurassic Park 2" is also written by Xiang Nan. The story follows "Jurassic Park". Together with the captain, lead the team into Nubra Island to capture the story of dinosaurs.

  The investment of this film exceeds 80 million US dollars, and the cost is higher than that of the upper part. Coupled with Spielberg's directing and Bruce Willis starring, it can be regarded as a big pie for Gong Li.

  If this movie becomes a big hit, it will also be beneficial for her to break into Hollywood, so naturally she should not miss it.

  Zhang Yimou had no choice but to find another person.

  …

  The role of An Hong, although it is a heroine, is actually a supporting role in terms of roles. It is only responsible for being beautiful and charming, without much character depth.

   Therefore, it is relatively easy to find an actress who can play her role. After all, the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is beautiful women.

  Especially when I heard that Zhang Yimou chose actresses, the resumes of the applicants came like snowflakes, and Zhang Yimou was dazzled.

  In the end, it was Xiang Nan who made the decision for him, and the model Qu Ying was chosen as the leading role.

  Qu Ying was one of the hottest models in the mainland in the 1990s. Won the second runner-up of the second China Top Ten Supermodel Competition in the American Supermodel Contest China Trials.

   Not only is she tall and beautiful, but also has a free and easy temperament, so she is very popular after her debut. In particular, she has studied drama before and has some acting experience. After his debut, he also took on a few movies, and the response was pretty good.

  So, Zhang Yimou was also very satisfied with her, so he finalized her.
