China Entertainment Times

Chapter 270 Tang An's New Movie
Just after the "Red Cliff" celebration banquet, Xu Zheng also returned from Jiangcheng with the crew of "On the Journey".

The post-production was also arranged at the China Film Digital Base, and the other party's editor was invited to do the editing.

Both Xu Zheng and Wu Jing were filming for the first time, and it was impossible for Tang An to hand over the editing rights to them. Who knew what kind of film would be produced.

Although the combined investment of the two films is only 1000 million, it cannot be wasted.

Moreover, it is actually not a good thing to delegate power to them too much, and give them as much power as they have ability.

After Tang An went to see it twice, he didn't care about it. He either stayed at home or continued to write the script in Huayi's office.

If there is a meeting, I will go to a meeting, I will participate in any event, and I will join in the fun if I have a part in the award ceremony.

On the 13th, the Hundred Flowers Film Festival returned empty-handed. The Hundred Flowers Awards did not award technical awards, and "Now You See Me" didn't win a single award.

The three films "Assembly", "Yun Shui Ballad" and "Invisible Wings" won all the awards, and the other films did not win any awards.

Huayi can be described as a complete victory.

Feng Xiaogang won the best director.

Zhang Hanyu won the best actor.

Li Binbin won Best Actress.

Deng Chao won Best Supporting Actor.

Assembly took the best feature film.

"Yun Shui Ballad" and "Invisible Wings" won excellent feature films.

Soy sauce is played every year, but last year's Golden Rooster Awards awarded several technical awards, and "The Wind" won the best art and best recording awards.

However, the main awards were all taken away by some main theme movies. Who made "Assembly" appear on the news network, but "The Wind" did not.

However, at the Golden Horse Awards, Li Binbin won the best actress, and also won two small awards, so there are two best actresses.

In terms of awards and box office, now Li Binbin ranks in the middle of the four dens and double ices.

Tang An doesn't care about awards or not. He can't think of winning awards like some people who have enough box office. He doesn't need to win an award to prove himself.

A broken trophy, which was a rarity two years ago, is now worthless in terms of his reputation, without any real benefit.

If it wasn't for not showing that he looked down on the organizing committee, Tang An would really be too lazy to join in the fun.

Occasionally, Huayi also participates in some conferences. For such a large company, there are a lot of conferences and small meetings.

A group meeting was held today, and the senior executives of all subsidiaries participated. The heads of the four-room group of the artist management department all came to say hello to Tang An one by one.

"Hi, Mr. Tang!"

Li Xue, the person in charge of the first studio, and its artists include Li Binbin, Ren Quan, Li Zhonghan, Chen Shicheng, Li Chen.
Fei Lin, the person in charge of the second studio, and his artists include Luo Haiqiong, Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, Lin Xinru, Wang Baoqiang, Xu Fan, Su Youpeng, Hu Jing.
Zhou Shiwei, the person in charge of the third studio, and his artists include Wang Xiaoming, An Yixuan, Chen Zihan, Huo Shiyan
Zhang Shiman, the person in charge of the fourth studio, and his artists include Yuxuan, Xu Luoxuan, Liu Mei.
In the last working group, Huang Feng led the weekly newsletter alone.

The five major managers, this is the current core of Huayi Artists Brokerage, each holds the titles of vice president and joint general manager.

Originally, the first studio was the strongest, and also the most important studio in Huayi, but with the rise of Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao, there was a tendency to catch up from behind.

However, the two of them are still not the "top names" of the studio, because Luo Haiqiong is the girlfriend of the studio's head Fei Lin, so they were only eligible to participate in the fundraising meeting after the annual meeting last year.

Fan Binbin was originally the headliner of the fourth studio, but after she left, there were only three or two kittens left.

As for Zou Xun's group, it was only established for Zou Xun two years ago, serving her alone.

Of course, the heads of several studios are generally only responsible for the "top brands" under their banners, and the others are assigned agents separately.

The studios are all responsible for their own profits and losses, and the big brokers are responsible for the company, for the income, for the input and output, and for increasing efficiency.

In this regard, Huayi can be said to be more than five years ahead of the entire entertainment industry.

The fight between the four rooms and the group has never stopped, but they are all in the same company, and everything is kept in secret.

In addition to the artist management department, several people in charge of its Huayi Music Company also came.

More than 30 senior executives of the group gathered together with distinct seating positions.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Zhongjun exchanged pleasantries and began.

"The first half of the year has passed, let's make a summary first and see what everyone has achieved in the past half of this year."

Just as Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, a financial statement was projected on the opposite screen, and a vice president of the finance department was in charge of explaining it.

In the first half of the year, Huayi's main film projects were "You Now You See Me" and "The King of Kung Fu". These two films brought Huayi hundreds of millions of yuan in cash income.

The mainland distribution fee of "You Now You See Me" is divided into 8%, which is 2500 million.

The box office is divided into 70%, a total of 7640 million.

Overseas copyright of 6000 million yuan spent 4000 million yuan in publicity fees, and the remaining 2800 million yuan was divided into [-] million yuan for Zhonghuayi.

In addition, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan box office share and mainland TV, Internet, and video copyright share totaled 1200 million.

Added up, the total revenue is 1.414 million.

And Huayi's investment is 7000*75%, which is 5250 million.

The net profit is 8890 million. Even if the distribution fee is deducted, the revenue ratio exceeds 200%.

But Tang An invested 1750 million and earned back 4988 million, nearly three times the profit.

Tang An took advantage of the box office share, 25% of the investment was exchanged for 30% of the income, and the distribution fee was also reduced to 8%.

Win-win!

The net profit of a movie is 9000 million, and this does not include the exposure of its artists, and the invisible connections between theaters, media, and TV stations.

"The King of Kung Fu" did not make Hua Yi lose money. The huge sales of overseas copyrights, coupled with the box office of more than 5000 million US dollars in North America, made Wang Zhongjun a lot of money in the European market. The overseas copyrights alone almost recovered the cost of 3 million.

The meeting continued, followed by the TV drama business. The ratings of TV dramas such as "Soldier Assault" and "The Deer and Ding Tale" that were broadcast last year were not bad, and the subsequent broadcasting rights have sold a considerable number.

It is expected that there will be as many as 19 TV series launched next year, including the TV series "Proof of Identity" that was born out of the movie "Assembly" and the TV series of the same name as the movie "Mei Lanfang".

"My Movie My Regiment" created by the original crew of "Soldiers Assault", the new version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and so on.

Then the record business and the artist brokerage business in the first half of the year were also described one by one.

The record business is Hua Yi's weakness, but last year he signed a BOBO group consisting of Fu Xinbo and Jing Boran.

The sales volume of the first album released in May this year reached 5 in the first month, which is not bad.

For things that had nothing to do with TV and movies, Tang An just sat there and listened quietly, letting them talk.

The general manager of Huayi Music has a good idea.

"Wang Dong, Shonan TV has already started to enter the film and television production business. Mango Pictures' summer movie "Perfect" has earned nearly 5000 million at the box office."

"I think we can cooperate with Jiangning Satellite TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, follow the example of Tianyu Media established by Shonan Satellite TV, set up two subsidiaries, and rely on the other's TV station to hold some talent shows."

This is a good idea. Jiangning Satellite TV is now the second largest TV station in China after Shonan Satellite TV in domestic ratings, and it has a similar cooperation with Huayi before.

"Absolutely Singing" was co-organized by Huayi and Jiangning Satellite TV. Unfortunately, this program failed to achieve half of the influence of "Super Girl", and there were not many artists worth cultivating.

After discussing for a while, Wang Zhongjun handed over the matter to the general manager of Huayi Music, and asked him to talk to the two TV stations first to see if they had any intention of cooperating.

This is the later Lanxing Huayi and Lanhai Huayi, but it seems to be on the street.

Mango Pictures, a joint investment between Shonan Satellite TV and Li Xiang, has been the same for two years, with no sound.

On the contrary, Shonan Satellite TV's own Mango TV culture is doing well, and later invested in TV series, "Pretty Li Huizhen", "Whirlwind Girl", and "Gongsuo" series all have good ratings.

There are too many things to do in such a large company, and the meeting barely ended after more than three hours.

But in the end Wang Zhongjun asked about Tang An's new film.

Wang Zhongjun looked at Tang An with a smile, "Mr. Tang, do you have any ideas for next year's film? Which actors are needed so that they can spare their time?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked at Tang An.

Especially for the five persons in charge of a group of four, the most important thing for the company every year is Tang An and Feng Xiaogang's movies, but Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" is estimated to take another year to prepare, and the most important thing right now is Tang An There is a new movie.
