Chapter 139: The Box Office at Zero Points (Subscribe for the third update)

"Congratulations, Director Tang, the audience has given it rave reviews. Just now I chatted with a few senior film critics, and they are also full of praise for this movie!"

Wang Zhongjun walked over with his artists.

"Hello Director Tang!"

Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and others greeted Tang An one after another.

"It's good that you didn't disappoint Wang Dong. If you lose your money, I'm sorry!" Tang An laughed.

"Director Tang was joking, so I never worried about it!" Wang Zhongjun said proudly.

Several people chatted casually for a while, Wang Zhongjun signaled them to go elsewhere, looked around, and lowered his voice slightly.

"Director Tang, how did you think about that last time? Now that the movie is released, it's time for you to give me an answer!"

Urging so urgently, is it urging your life!

Tang An originally thought that Wang Zhongjun was a person who would do great things, but he didn't expect to be so impatient about such a small matter.

But after thinking about it, I also got together with him twice in the past six months, and there was nothing unusual during the period, why did I suddenly become so anxious.

Could it be that something happened to Huayi?

"Wang Dong, has something happened to you recently?" Tang An asked tentatively.

"It's nothing, it's just that our entire company is looking forward to Director Tang, and there are so many artists in the company who are all waiting to film under Director Tang!" Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.

"Wang Dong, you see that my current box office performance is still unknown. I really don't have the time to think about it. Let's talk about it some time later!" Tang An said after thinking about it.

Wang Zhongjun has also been troubled by trifles recently. Last month, he and Columbia had already negotiated an overseas release, and the full copyright package will be 1000 million US dollars.

It was a good thing in the first place, two-thirds of the cost has been recovered, and the film's profitability has been confirmed, but it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

But at this time Feng Xiaogang approached him with the script again.

"Night Banquet" hadn't been released yet, and Feng Xiaogang wanted to make a war movie again. When he learned that the contract was negotiated, he immediately came to ask for money.

Feng Dapao felt that Lao Zhi earned you so much money, why don't you spend some money to make new films for Lao Zhi!
Therefore, Wang Zhongjun now urgently needs to find a director with weight to come to the company, at least to make Feng Xiaogang fearful.

Hua Yi didn't rely on him alone!
He still wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Dong walking towards this side, he still didn't speak.

After coping with one crop after another, as usual, we still cultivate relationships and get close.

The dinner lasted for more than an hour and didn't end until almost 11 o'clock.

After sending them all away, Tang An sat down directly on the table, picked up a plate with a lot of things, and sat there to eat without any hesitation about his appearance.

I have been busy since the afternoon, and I can finally take a break from the meeting.

Xu Manyun came back from seeing off the guests at the door, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes when he saw this, "You are tired, I'll ask someone to bring a chair over!"

"No, I'll leave after two bites!" Tang An waved his hands and said vaguely.

"Drink some water, don't choke!" Xu Manyun looked around, took a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it over.

"Ah."

I took a big sip of water, swallowed the food in my mouth, and burped.

"You should eat something too, you've been standing all afternoon!"

"I'm fine, I changed into flat shoes, and I'm not so tired!" Xu Manyun smiled and shook his head.

The two just sat at the dining table and finished their dinner, leaving a mess waiting for the staff to clean up, before leaving by themselves.

After getting into the car, Tang An put down the chair and lay down for a while.

"To my place?"

"Ok!"

After humming, Tang An closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while.

When they arrived at Xu Manyun's residence, the two took a comfortable shower and went to bed.

Tang An was leaning against the head of the bed, with Xu Manyun lying in his arms, gently rubbing her hands on her smooth back through the silk pajamas.

"There are still nearly two hours before the end of the zero-point field. Why don't you go to bed first, set the alarm clock, and wake up at that time!"

Xu Manyun took Tang An's hand and looked at his tired face.

"I can't sleep until the ticket office at midnight!" Tang An patted her on the back and shook his head.

"If you don't read the comments, the news should have come out more than two hours after the premiere!"

"There's nothing to watch. The reporters and film critics who participated in the premiere all stuffed red envelopes. No one dared to be so blind. Most of those audiences are my loyal fans. It doesn't take much to know that most of the praise is good!"

"Then why wait, it's boring, and time passes slowly!"

"Why don't you watch a movie to pass the time!"

Xu Manyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested.

"Watch a horror movie, the exciting one, the time flies!"

As I said that, I was about to get out of bed and flip through DVDs.

Tang An quickly grabbed him, and said dumbfoundedly, "You don't want to sleep anymore?"

"That's right!" Xu Manyun finally realized that it was almost morning.

"How about "Shark Beach", I haven't really watched this movie from the audience's point of view, now let's see if there are any shortcomings!" Tang An said after thinking for a while.

"Row!"

Xu Manyun immediately went barefoot to flip through DVDs under the opposite TV cabinet.

In summer, the silk pajamas are transparent and short.

This bend, that tight and seductive arc
Fortunately, Tang Dasheng is not such a vulgar person.

Don't move like a mountain!

"Okay!" Xu Manyun smiled and ran back to the bed to lie down, and leaned into Tang An's arms.

Press the remote and the movie starts playing.

After a year, watching my own movie again, I really don't feel very good.

Except for some places that are beyond his control, the overall rhythm is still somewhat lacking.

Moreover, the angles for capturing Yang Mi's body were not good enough, and many shots did not perform very well.

Halfway through the movie, Xu Manyun suddenly said, "I remember that the contract between Yang Mi and Long Xinda still has more than 3 years left, will you sign her by then?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Columbia's overseas copyright fees have not arrived. Excluding the share from China Film and Huayi, there is still 2000 million in the company's account. After "Super Body" is released, a large amount of cash will be deposited. I Thinking about expanding the company's scale!"

Xu Manyun quickly explained.

"No, let's buy some houses around the third ring road with that money, especially the houses in the school district!"

"Then has the studio always maintained this scale?" Xu Manyun asked puzzled.

"Of course not. It's useless to expand the scale now. The most we can do is to find a few directors and sign a few stars. Without any network resources, we can't even set up a company framework!"

"Keep all the money, and it will be useful to me around 09."

"Do you want to buy directly?"

"which company?"

"Poly Huayi!" Tang An said truthfully without hiding it from her.

"."

Xu Manyun was stunned, she never thought that Tang An's target would be this giant.

It's too far-fetched, even if Tang An's target is Hua Yi, she wouldn't be so surprised.

Hurray only spent 51 million yuan to acquire 3500% of Huayi's shares last year. Although most of the cost has been recovered overseas because of "The Banquet", the market value is only 1.5 million yuan.

However, Woori Holdings of Xiangjiang spent HK$2 million to acquire a 5.5% stake in Poly Huayi in February last year. The two are not of the same size at all.

Tang An didn't care about Xu Manyun's surprise, and he said, "I know what you mean, but in two years, Poly Berner will separate from Poly Huayi, and at that time, Poly Huayi's market value will be left one-third It's not bad!"

"Last year's merger and acquisition case was nothing more than Dong Ping's tricks, repeated mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and cashing out several times!"

Dong Ping is also a genius. He is the chairman of Wenhua Zhonghua, which was acquired by Jack Ma. With a cash reserve of only 10 million Hong Kong dollars in 1 years, he actually bought 50% of the shares of MSN Huaguo. At that time, the 50% was worth 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Later, after a series of fancy operations, 60% of Wenhua Zhonghua’s shares were sold to Jack Ma at a price of 62 billion.

Then 1.5 Holdings, which bought the box office share of Xu Zheng's "囧囧 in Hong Kong" for 21 million, is also owned by Dong Ping.

However, Xu Zheng himself is the second largest shareholder of 21 Holdings
Capital just knows how to play, and a series of riot operations are dazzling.

Poly Huayi is a company reorganized by Poly Culture and Peking University Huayi. Tang An will see if he can bite off a piece of meat. After all, this is a mature media group, and there is also a Poly Wanhe theater chain.

Its subsidiary Dongfang Shenlong is also an established film company, and everything is ready-made, and it only needs to spend money.

However, the Poly Group was unlucky enough. It was played by Dong Ping and kicked away by Yu Dong after using it.
In the end, when Poly Culture sold the remaining 50% of Poly Huayi’s shares, the listing price was only 8000 million.

After chatting for a while, at two o'clock in the morning, the laptop on the bedside was about to receive an email.

The screening box office is out.

820 copies, 820 screenings in the early morning, fully double the number of screenings of "Horror Cruise".

Tang An finally breathed a sigh of relief at the box office.

Although there is still a long way to go before the box office record set by "The Promise", it is enough to satisfy him!
320 million!
Nearly three parts of "Cruise of Horror"!

PS: I don’t understand capital stuff, just take a look, it’s too complicated, but Dong Ping is really awesome!
There is another chapter in the morning!
