At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 694
Han Shanping, the boss of China Film Group!

How much did he contribute to Chinese films?
Many people say that he is a pig in the wind!
Actually not.

At that time, there were actually two paths before Chinese films: one was to follow the art film route, which was to learn from European films, and this path was supported by many people; the other was to learn from the American model and focus on commercial films.

China Film Group headed by Han Dong insisted on the second way.

Moreover, the speed of importing blockbuster films has been well grasped, and the imported blockbuster films have not completely killed Chinese movies.

He can follow the example of the Taiwan Film Bureau, the entire film subsidy, and then support the art films shot for international film festivals, and give large bonuses if they win awards in international film festivals...

Completely push the audience to American movies!
It's not impossible, he has the right.

Shen Xudong admired him a lot and often chatted with him.

Han Shanping also admires Shen Xudong quite a lot. Over the years, the films that Tianmei and China Film have cooperated with each other can make a profit...

Among the favorite generals!

In particular, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" broke the box office record of domestic films.

But he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Shen Xudong...

Most of the films produced by Shen Xudong are medium investment, but they are very successful at the box office.

This is contrary to his blockbuster plan.

Many people question whether the so-called blockbuster plan is correct, especially Tianmei's Three Kingdoms series, each of which costs around 2000 million US dollars, has achieved a win-win situation at the box office and word of mouth.

2000 million US dollars is of course considered a large investment, but it can only be regarded as a medium level in the blockbuster field dominated by Director Han.

Well, it's actually the impact on "Red Cliff"...

Director Han is very worried about "Red Cliff", he can be sure that the reputation of "Red Cliff" will not be good - the plot is exactly the kind predicted by "Blockbuster"...

But he is more curious about 'one book, two shots'.

How should I put it, if it is promoted by the Film Bureau or China Film Bureau, it is a political achievement worth mentioning!

It doesn't matter, the success of "Back to 20" proves that this model is feasible, and Director Han asked Shen Xudong to learn from it.

Regarding Han Dong’s questions, Shen Xudong explained one by one: “Actually, we put forward two proposals at that time. One is that we create script ideas and take 20% of the profits; I chose the first one…”

"Then they took advantage of it!" Han Dong continued: "I have a question, how can these two films be exported?"

"Oh, the Korean version is not exported, it's only released in Korea, that's a prerequisite..."

"...that's about the same!"

"Don't underestimate "Back to 20". We have already sold the adaptation rights in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, and the adaptation rights in Japan are being negotiated...I love to talk to them, France, Spain, and Italy also very interested!"

"Is that so? Instead of importing it directly, just remake it?"

"The introduction will definitely be introduced. Golden Harvest is responsible for the distribution in the Southeast Asian market, and it has been confirmed that it will be screened in most countries and regions in Southeast Asia."

"Then you made two shares of money!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Good luck..."

Director Han glanced at him and asked again: "Are there any future joint development projects?"

"Yes, two comedies and romances, and one thriller!"

"Comedy romance?"

"Yes, "Inner Beauty" and "Love Saint"...are very nonsense stories..."

"What about the thriller?"

""Neighbors"... This script was provided by South Korea, adapted from a manga, and we each made a version..."

Director Han nodded: "Thriller films must have a good scale!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Xudong laughed: "Don't worry, the scale of "Neighbors" is definitely easy to grasp!"

"Neighbors", the life of the disliked perverted murderer, the perverted murderer was once again attacked by the underworld!

A heart-pounding thriller…

……

Han Dong came to the Shanghai Film Festival mainly for the forum unit, in fact, to make money!
There are many participants in this forum, including Zhu Yunlai, president of China International Capital Corporation, Shen Nanpeng, founder and executive partner of Sequoia Capital China Fund, Xiong Xiaoge, global executive vice president of IDG, and Wang Ran of Yikai Capital. energy of"…

Shen Xudong is also here for this forum!
He spoke first: "China's film market has great potential, so it goes without saying...I think the upper limit of the Chinese film market should be around 1500 billion...This is calculated based on the number of moviegoers in the US market...Look, America The per capita movie viewing index is 4.7 times, we don’t need 4.7 times, as long as the per capita 3 times, we can achieve a market size of 1365 billion... This is still calculated based on the ticket price of 35..."

"I know you guys think I'm drawing big cakes. After all, our total box office is only five billion or so at this stage... But you have to look at the number of screens and theaters. Our company has a Golden Harvest cinema chain. We built a large-scale movie theater in Nanchang last year. A theater with ten halls will be completed in the second half of the year, so what do you think is the revenue for the first half of the year?"

Before they could speak, Shen Xudong asked and answered: "800 million, you must know that before this theater was completed, there were only three state-owned theaters operating in Nanchang, namely Hubin, Jiangxi Art Theater and Baihuazhou, and the entire market was relatively sluggish. The box office total is only 06 million!"

"In half a year, we managed to overtake!"

"I use this example to illustrate that movies have audiences, and our audience loves watching movies, but there are no theaters in many places..."

"According to the expansion scale of today's theater chains, the number of our screens will exceed 8000 in two years at most, and break 150 in three years. At that time, the market size must be at least [-] billion, otherwise, we will not be able to support so many theaters!"

"According to the 1.5th rule of the film market, it is very normal for the first movie to break the box office of one billion. Based on the calculation of the cost of 10 million, the profit of the box office of 5 billion can also exceed [-] million!"

"So, the film industry, at least the Chinese film industry, has great potential. I hope that all the capital tycoons can consider entering the film market..."

The so-called money-squeezing is telling stories to attract investment...

Is Shen Xudong short of money?

Very short, there is no one who is not short of money to make a movie, the lack of money here is worthy of benign funds, not the money of the coal boss...

Plus, Golden Harvest does need a capital infusion -- without it, Golden Harvest is unlikely to leapfrog.

It refers to the evolution from a market value of less than 500 billion to a market value of over [-] billion, or even over [-] billion...

In addition, he likes Shen Nanpeng very much, and every major entrepreneurial website has him playing tricks...

He needs money. Apart from financing Golden Harvest, Shen Xudong also wants to build a building...

After all, all kinds of entrepreneurship are not as good as a building!
LG company has lost money for 15 consecutive quarters. It has no choice but to withdraw from the mainland market. Once the building is sold, it costs 80 billion yuan and makes a net profit of 50 billion yuan!
Sohu...four buildings, worth more than 20 billion dollars...you need to know Sohu's market value...now it seems to be less than 4 million dollars!
In other words, the capital represented by Xiong Xiaoge said, "The film industry should be the most complicated industry compared to all the other industries I have been in contact with. The investment process is very complicated, and the risk of the project is relatively high. You can't see it." Income, and no one can guarantee the income, this is very difficult! '

Shen Nanpeng also said: "The success of a film depends too much on the creators themselves, which is why we dare not invest..."
