168: Chapter 169: Qianda Films Changes Hands, Earthquake in the Entertainment Industry
Even many of Leng Ba's fans shifted from anger to laughter:
"Sorry, sorry, I was too loud just now. It turns out the clowns were the ones jumping around!"
"The brand is so tough, our Ba is secure!"
"Hilarious, we didn't even need to fight; the boss stepped in and slapped them all down personally!"
As for the fans of other celebrities who had been jumping around and instigated by their studios, they were now like chickens choked by the neck, suddenly speechless.
Angry? Of course, they were angry! They felt humiliated.
Boycott? The company practically stated, "Buy it if you want, get lost if you don't," and the key was, even if you wanted to buy it, you couldn't! Threats were ineffective.
Slander? Thinking back to the real cases of people who were sent off to prison for spreading rumors about Xingchen Technology's beauty serum, their hands on the keyboards suddenly trembled.
Throwing a tantrum? The company completely ignored them. It was like punching cotton; they ended up becoming the laughingstock of the entire internet!
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.
In the face of absolute product strength and capital, their petty fan wars and noise seemed so ridiculous and insignificant.
The other side didn't need to follow the rules they imagined; they just flipped the table directly.
This originally grand "boycott" and "bickering" instantly became a farcical comedy in the face of Xingchen Technology's incredibly willful announcement, rapidly losing momentum and attention.
Only new topics like #Xingchen Technology Willful Announcement# and #Jiang Jing I Like It# remained, soaring to the top of the hot searches along with netizens' joyful mockery.
Leng Ba looked at the announcement, then looked at Jiang Jing beside her, who had a "standard procedure, don't make a fuss" expression, the admiration and love in her eyes almost turning into something tangible.
She pounced over to hug Jiang Jing's arm and smiled sweetly: "Brother Jiang Jing, you are so cool!"
Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow and pinched her cheek: "Otherwise? Play public opinion games with me? They aren't qualified enough."
Strength is the best public relations.
Just as the storm was slowly subsiding, another truly heavyweight piece of news exploded without warning!
The official Weibo of Qianda Group released a bombshell announcement:
"Warmly congratulate and welcome Mr. Jiang Jing for recently completing the acquisition of 100% equity of Qianda Film Co., Ltd., officially becoming the sole shareholder of Qianda Film!"
"The Group is full of confidence that Qianda Film will embark on a new journey and create new glories under Mr. Jiang Jing's leadership!"
"In the future, Qianda Group will continue to maintain close strategic cooperation with Qianda Film and move forward together! @Jiang Jing"
The Weibo post was accompanied by a screenshot of an official document—black and white text, clear official seal, with content identical to the Weibo post.
#Jiang Jing Acquires Qianda Film#
#Qianda Film Changes Hands#
#Jiang Jing — Sole Shareholder of Qianda Film#
Several related topics shot up like rockets, instantly dropping into the top of the hot searches, and with overwhelming momentum, rushed directly to the second spot. The heat index soared crazily, immediately poised to surpass "Leng Ba Endorsement" and take the top spot!
If the news of Leng Ba's endorsement was a bomb, then this news was an out-and-out earthquake, shaking the entire entertainment industry and even the financial circle until they were turned upside down!
Every celebrity, agent, director, and production company boss who saw this news... was stunned, their brains crashing on the spot!
"Qi... Qianda Film?! Acquired entirely by Jiang Jing?!"
"One hundred percent equity?! My god! That's a transaction worth tens of billions! It was completed so quietly?!"
"Qianda Film! One of the top theater chains in the country! Controlling the life and death of movie scheduling and promotion? It just changed owners like that?!"
"Jiang Jing... exactly how rich is he?! Xingchen Technology, Penguin shares, and now Qianda Film... how much is his net worth exactly?!"
Those female celebrities who were previously envious of Leng Ba and jealous of her latching onto a big shot were now looking at their phone screens, then back at their own carefully maintained faces in the mirror.
Their feelings had shifted from simple envy and jealousy to an indescribable sense of shock and desire.
What kind of heaven-defying luck did Leng Ba have?! What she latched onto wasn't just some "big shot"; this was clearly a capital dragon soaring into the nine heavens!
You want to become beautiful? He has a monopolistic, magical beauty serum that can make you gorgeous.
You want to make movies? The lifeblood of the country's largest theater chain's scheduling and promotion is in his hands.
He is also a heavyweight shareholder of an internet giant, with influence radiating online.
Most importantly, word is he is young and super handsome!
These conditions... they are almost too perfect to be real!
In an instant, the minds of countless female celebrities became active, their hearts burning with fire.
So what if the spokesperson position is gone?
With a capital tycoon of this level, even the resources leaking from between his fingers would be enough to stuff them!
A movie lead role? Top-tier fashion resources? Even just getting a connection with him would bring immeasurable hidden benefits!
"Quick! Go find out! No matter what, get Jiang Jing's contact information!"
"Contact everyone you can! See who can talk to Xingchen Technology or Qianda Film!"
"Prepare the most exquisite personal profile and portfolio! What if there's a chance?"
Countless studios and agent teams instantly began operating at high speed, aiming directly at — Jiang Jing.
The entire entertainment industry, because of one man's name, fell into an unprecedented state of restlessness and agitation.
Those who might have been acting aloof or self-important before now dropped their pretenses, starting to show their unique skills, trying to board this massive ship that was about to change the industry landscape.
Meanwhile, the capital market gave the most direct reaction.
The stock of Qianda Group, which had been moving steadily or even slightly sluggishly, actually rose against the trend after this announcement was released, showing a significant increase!
Although the acquisition was of Qianda Film, which was not exactly the same as the listed company entity of the Group, the market keenly captured the signal—Jiang Jing's entry was seen as a positive for the future development of Qianda Film and even the Group!
Investors used real money to express their optimism and confidence in this mysterious new tycoon's leadership ability!
This unexpected stock price increase was simply a pleasant surprise for Qianda Group.
Mr. Wang looked at the rising stock price on the computer screen, a long-lost happy smile appearing on his face.
