["Pegasus" Premiere Explodes, the First Film Produced with AI Assistance in History?]

[From 2 Months to 2 Weeks, Costs Decrease Instead of Increase, Does AIGC Have the Potential to Overturn the Traditional Film Industry?]

[Far Surpassing Industry Expectations, "Pegasus" Scores 8.5 on Douban, Box Office Soars in the First Week!]

[Director Han Fei Says Future Plans Include Continuing to Strengthen Cooperation with Baiyeji, Introducing Deep AI Creative Technology, and Reveals "Pegasus 2" Script Already in Progress...]

[...]

Looking at the various news on the tablet, the wavy-haired girl couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at your judgment, you had two projects in front of you, and you didn't invest in the blockbuster film, but instead put money into Ai Dou New Energy, almost losing big time.

Even Sister Weiwei's judgment was better than yours."

Hu Yifei felt a bit embarrassed.

"Well, it's not like I knew Master Meng's skills at the time. If I had known earlier, I would've followed in blindly!"

He looked reminiscent.

"Now that I think about it, when Mr. Liu and Mr. Yu asked me for Xiao Meng's contact, I was still clueless. When it comes to judging people, I really am a step behind these business giants."

Recently, Hua Wei turned the tide with light chip technology, gaining significant momentum.

Jingdong has been relatively low-key, though it recently underwent a major executive reshuffle.

It's said that Mr. Liu used this opportunity to solidify his position on the board, firmly grasping the company's discourse power, and has been advancing rapidly in the logistics industry, with the market value climbing steadily.

Hu Yifei naturally didn't know that these two companies' paths had been quietly altered by someone...

He just felt that these big shots indeed had sharp eyes.

"My husband isn't bad either! I just came in and saw a bunch of reporters blocking the door to interview you. You're also a hotshot in the tech world now, I never imagined I'd become a CEO's wife one day."

The wavy-haired girl wrapped her arms around her fiancé with a look of adoration.

Hu Yifei shook his head with a smile, "They're after Baiyeji's high-tech, not me.

Before, I was worried about selling products, now I'm worried they're too good. Baiyeji has been flooded these past few days, and companies seeking cooperation can line up all the way to Suzhou River...

It's true what they say about talent being the most important in the 21st century. I don't know where Chairman Gao found someone like Demon Hunter.

With just a few technologies developed, any Fortune 500 company would fight over them, and yet I haven't even provided basic benefits for him...

We've got a Buddha living in our little temple..."

Hu Yifei mused to himself.

Due to confidentiality agreements, he hadn't told his fiancée that the old man had suddenly come to Su City a few days ago.

He, himself, and Mr. Hu talked late into the night in the study, and after staying for a night, he left hurriedly.

Before leaving, he sternly taught him that if a CEO does a bad job, it's a management position; to do well, it must be a service position.

He gave a long speech on principles, finally instructing him to serve Demon Hunter well and meet any of his needs.

The tone was such that it didn't even regard him as a cadre, emphasizing a focus centered around Demon Hunter...

"Who says great Buddhas can't live in small temples? Nowadays, those in big temples aren't necessarily real Buddhas."

Hu Yifei chuckled instantly, "Yeah! You're right, I didn't expect my wife to understand philosophy. Come here, hubby rewards you with a kiss!"

"Shoo! Stop sweet-talking. By the way, with such a good response from the box office this time, Sister Weiwei's investment could at least double, right?

That's why I say Xiao Meng is a super potential stock. Look, Sister Weiwei hasn't even captured the man yet, but her wealth is already liberated.

It's a pity though, last time during the movie premiere, we finally created a chance for Sister Weiwei to be alone with him, and guess what they talked about.

She said they discussed how to invest in movies... I was really floored."

"Uh..."

"I'll have to give her a proper lesson on how to capture a man's heart! Hmm! And ask if we can invest in the next movie together..."

Watching his fiancée babble on, Hu Yifei just smiled.

"Alright, I'll hand over my little treasury to you later, with a master guiding you, Sister can invest blindly, but these two days I might not be able to accompany you to look at wedding dresses."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Mmm... I have to go on a business trip to Hainan Island."

"What are you going there for?"

"Heh, I'm going there to launch a satellite..."

...

"Bang!"

Compared to Baiyeji and Han Fei's production team, the Xu family's third son, Xu Jingfeng, was already so angry that he slammed the table.

"Hype! Damn it, it's all hype!"

"Pegasus" box office was skyrocketing, riding the hype of AIGC's debut to hit several trending lists, with its box office and popularity climbing steadily, and if anyone was feeling the most hurt, it had to be "Magic City Fortress" released on the same day...

Also, there was a hot topic comparing the two films, and the comments section was simply unbearable.

Basically, artistic indie films crushed save-the-world stories, with reviews being utterly one-sided.

Seeing their first week's box office nearly double that of "Magic City Fortress," with all the buzz and profits siphoned away.

As his first billion-dollar investment, Mr. Xu was naturally getting anxious.

"Damn these netizens, don't they understand what art means? A lousy car-themed comedy, how can it compare to our stars and seas?

It's all a bunch of parroting fools, the other side definitely paid to get the narrative going!

No way, we need to hire people to smear them, brother, give me some more budget, we can't sit idly by!"

Having never faced significant setbacks, Mr. Xu naturally refused to look for faults on his side, only feeling that the opponents had used dirty tricks.

The first investment was completely ruined by riding on hot topics.

"Calm down, Xiaofeng... I can allocate the money for you, but in this situation, it won't have much effect."

Xu Jingsong's tone was doting, but his heart was full of disdain.

This brainless fool didn't even look at the Douban score of "Magic City Fortress," which has dropped to 4.2 and is still sliding towards a 3.

This reputation is completely a disaster... even hiring ghostwriters couldn't save it.

In such a lopsided situation, he is still thinking about wasting money on PR, completely oblivious to the current situation.

He leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.

Although this investment failed and the movie flop is inevitable, he was not particularly disappointed.

After all, from the beginning, he didn't expect Xu Jingfeng, this second-generation heir, to achieve anything noteworthy.

To put it another way... if he actually managed to achieve something, then Xu Jingsong would be on high alert.

Without a useless little brother to highlight my wise and mighty self, how could I stand out?

Thinking of it, the family should be able to see through this guy's flashy but useless facade, haha...

Besides, now with Gao Sheng backing him, a loss of a mere 200 million is nothing to him.

"Big brother, are we just going to accept this failure?" Xu Jingfeng said, somewhat unwillingly.

"That Baiyeji is Gao Yuan's company, deliberately releasing news at the premiere to grab attention, it's clearly targeted at us!"

"Hmm..." Xu Jingsong squinted his eyes, tapping his fingers on the table.

The film was invested in by Gao Yuan, and Baiyeji is her subsidiary company. Such resource integration is understandable from a business perspective.

The only thing Xu Jingsong didn't expect was Baiyeji's unexpected array of black technologies...

He had already set traps for the opponent, thinking that their hasty release would at least affect the quality of the film.

Who would have thought they introduced new technology, recut the film in less than two weeks, and even gained traction, turning misfortune into fortune.

His original plan was to seize the scheduling resources from the opponent, hoping for mutual harm, with Gao Yuan suffering a big loss and them a small one.

That way, while repelling the external threat, they could stabilize internally, killing two birds with one stone.

Who knew Baiyeji would appear out of nowhere...

Perhaps that's why Gao Sheng is eyeing Baiyeji... this company is more valuable than I imagined...

Xu Jingsong mused silently.

"Don't worry, they won't be pleased for long. I've already raised a large sum of money from foreign investors. Isn't Gao Yuan relying on Baiyeji?

What is one movie? If we're going to strike, we will hit her at her Achilles' heel!"

"What's the Achilles' heel?"

"Ai Dou New Energy!" Xu Jingsong said with a smile.

"The most valuable company in Gao Yuan's hands is Baiyeji, and Baiyeji's core asset is Ai Dou New Energy!

I've already found out that Ai Dou New Energy is crazily borrowing money to expand a new production line, investing no less than ten billion.

As long as we can target and eliminate their car market, causing Ai Dou New Energy to continue losing money, in less than two years, their capital chain will surely break!

The Xu family originally had plans to enter the automotive sector, but we were always constrained by a lack of funds. Now with strong backing, it is the best time to expand ambitiously!

I've secretly acquired an electric car company, and soon we will establish the Xu family's own new energy vehicle company.

You Gao Yuan want to make new energy vehicles? We, the Xu family... are in!"

Xu Jingsong stood up with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the Suzhou River, a cold smile on his lips.

"We have deep financial reserves and can even sustain long-term losses, as long as we specifically target the opponent's market and prevent them from selling cars...

What future unicorn, what light of technology, it's all just Gao Yuan's ignorant fearlessness!"

A picture appeared in his mind of a future fierce price war, where Gao Yuan's Ai Dou New Energy trembles under competition from domestic and foreign capital, eventually being acquired in a bankruptcy sale...

With Gao Sheng's promise, what's Xu Jingsong's greatest advantage?

It's an endless stream of funds!

You invest in films, I will target your box office.

You invest in car manufacturing, I will also start making cars, using price wars to crush peers, and then tidy up the aftermath!

The Xu family's deep heritage and accumulation can't be compared to Gao Yuan, a self-made woman.

Plus, with an endless stream of US dollars now...

I can fail countless times, but if you fail just once, you'll be damned forever!

In short, whatever you Gao Yuan do, we the Xu family will do as well!

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, a major announcement was just made in the country, please check it out."

At this moment, Cui Jizhong rushed in with a tablet in hand.

"What news?"

He took the tablet somewhat indifferently to glance at it, and the next moment...

[Baiyeji holds a press conference to announce a joint venture with Hua Hang Science and Technology Group in Hainan to establish 'Ark Shares', officially entering the aerospace field...]

The smile that hadn't yet faded from Xu Jingsong's face suddenly froze.

You make films, and I'll follow!

You make new energy vehicles, and I'll follow!

You launch a satellite... how the hell am I supposed to follow that?!
