How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 474: Several Projects—Bullets in Jianghu
After some exchanges, coupled with Zhang Nan's speculation on some projects based on the original time and space, we roughly understood the purpose of Jiang Wen, Xu Zheng and Zhao Benshan's coming together.

The mainland film industry has become so popular in the past few years. As the big bosses, mainstays and successful directors in the industry, they all want to get involved and make a fortune.

After all, the box office can easily reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which is indeed a very attractive profit!

However, several of them are old people in the industry, and they know very well that for a movie to be successful, it depends not only on quality, but also on the strength of the producer and distributor.

In terms of production and distribution capabilities alone, Changgong Group under Zhang Nan is the leading presence in the mainland.

The most important thing is that the current atmosphere in the entertainment industry is not so exaggerated. These people do not only think about making money and future development, but also attach great importance to future career development.

Then the Longbow Group, which has considerable influence around the world, is a very high-quality partner.

After understanding the thoughts of these people, Zhang Nan focused on the projects they wanted to shoot.

Then Zhang Nan became energetic.

Because if the calculation is correct, what Jiang Wen is going to shoot this time is "Let the Bullets Fly".

If there were no "Avatar", "Let the Bullets Fly" would be the mainland box office champion in 2010, with a box office of 6.6 million yuan in the mainland.

And Xu Zheng's side is even more critical - the first part of the "People on the Road" series.

Although the box office is average at just over 3000 million yuan, the entire series has great potential!
In other words, the [Laughing Jianghu] project that Zhao Benshan wants to do is a little less interesting.

But there is also a box office of 1.5 million yuan.

Overall, they are all high-quality projects.

"We are all acquaintances. I won't say any polite words. If there is cooperation, I have been in the Mainland these days. You can go directly to Longgong Film and Television City to chat with me. Today is the premiere of [The Founding of a Republic], okay? Talk about other things.”

Zhang Nan has no intention of having an in-depth chat with a few people now. After all, this is Huaying's place.

Then Jiang Wen, Xu Zheng and Zhao Benshan also understood the meaning of Zhang Nan's words, and they all smiled and nodded.

Looking at the current situation, Zhang Nan just said a few words and left from here, walking towards Han Sanpin who greeted him.

Looking at Zhang Nan's leaving figure, several people were quite emotional.

But the most emotional among them is Xu Zheng.

Because [Nightclub] was just released in July, it was only recently released.

The box office of more than 1000 million yuan compared to the production fee of more than 200 million yuan, it is definitely a return of money and a huge profit.

But in fact, the box office of [Nightclub] can be higher, but it suffers from the average strength of the distributor.

So this time he caught up with Zhang Nan, and Xu Zheng secretly argued that he must have something to do with the project this time.

……

the other side.

Han Sanpin called Zhang Nan over because he was entrusted with it.

"Director Zhang, my surname is Wang, Wanda Wang. I intend to get involved in the cinema industry. I also hope that Director Zhang, as a senior in the industry, can give me some advice."

Wanda Wang, who is not too tall but speaks loudly and has a small goal of hundreds of millions, was the first to extend his hand in a friendly manner after seeing Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan was quite surprised after seeing Wanda Wang.

But after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me.

Wanda's involvement in the film and television industry began in 2011.

But for a behemoth like Wanda, formulating a plan cannot be done overnight, but requires a considerable amount of time to plan and prepare.It's already September 2009, and I must have been in contact with China Film Group early on.

"Don't take any advice, just communicate more and make progress together." Zhang Nan responded modestly.

When Wanda Wang heard Zhang Nan's reply, her eyes were filled with astonishment.

He really didn't expect Zhang Nan to be so polite to others.

Because Wanda Wang has vague statistics on Zhang Nan's current industrial assets - because Zhang Nan's assets are easy to calculate, they are Changgong Film and Television City, Longgong Film and Television Fund, Longgong Film and Television Company, and Longgong Distribution Company.

Among them, Longgong Film and Television City, although not as valuable as the Wanda Group's nearly 600 billion yuan at this time, is still worth 2004 to 288 billion yuan (the fixed assets of Hengdian Film and Television City in 2009 were worth [-] billion, and this was all in [-] Yes, doubling it is not too much!)

Then there is the Longbow Film and Television Fund, a single film and television fund financial product that is quite famous in the global financial market.

Not counting Zhang Nan's film contracts, there are billions of dollars in revenue every year, and the revenue alone is hundreds of millions every year. The entire company's valuation will not be less than 30 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than 200 billion yuan.

The following Longbow Film and Television Company was not very valuable, because it only had contracts between a few artists and directors. The annual income was a few hundred million US dollars, and the total price was only a few billion yuan.

But Longbow Publishing Company is in trouble.

Franchise theaters all over the world, with deep roots in Asia, starting with a total value of tens of billions of dollars.

Of course.

Due to the franchise method, Zhang Nan does not personally own much of the theater assets under Longbow Distribution Company.

But even so, owning such a theater chain is worth billions of dollars and tens of billions of RMB.

The total value of these assets alone is at least much higher than that of Wanda, not to mention the value of Zhang Nan's personal brand.

……

Wanda Wang, whose eyes were filled with astonishment, did not stay with Zhang Nan and Han Sanpin for long, because Wanda Wang came here to meet Zhang Nan, a top brother in the mainland film and television industry.

It will be very convenient to cooperate with Zhang Nan's distribution company after the Wanda Cinema Line is listed in the future.

"I can't help but introduce it. The current economic environment is like this. In accordance with the requirements from above, Huaying in the film and television industry must make great efforts to support private enterprises." Han Sanpin explained to Zhang Nan why he was called over to meet Wanda Wang. .

Zhang Nan waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "When I started distribution, I just wanted to avoid being stuck by others, and also to support Chinese-language films overseas. I didn't expect to end up in this situation. It's troublesome. There are too many, and now I’m thinking about selling the longbows if I have the chance.”

This is Zhang Nan’s true thoughts, because it is now 2009, and 2019 is only ten years away.

It looked very long.

But for a big asset like a theater chain, a fire sale cannot be successful overnight. It will take at least several years of negotiation.

Then there isn't much time left.

If we don't make some plans early, the losses will be too big when the mandatory winter of the film market comes.

It's not that Zhang Nan can't handle it.

But if you can avoid losses, why should you bear it?
The most important thing is that Zhang Nan feels that he has reached the end of relying on the movie theater model to distribute movies.

Because the six major Hollywood companies above will no longer tolerate the growth of Longbow Publishing Company.

Longbow Pictures continues to grow and develop, and the ending is expected to be even worse than DreamWorks.

Because Spielberg is still white-skinned after all, but he is not.
