Chapter 388 Make Tang An Powerless! (The second update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)

At the end of March, the beach battle scenes of "Edge of Tomorrow" had come to an end, and there were only a few big scenes left to be shot, waiting for the army's planes, warships, and armored vehicles.

Although the military expressed its support, it still needs to go through many approvals before it can come down.

After all, even a general can't mobilize troops arbitrarily these days, let alone these equipments.

During this period of time, the production crew was quite quiet, but the outside world was quite lively. Those who didn't know thought that the summer vacation had already arrived.

First of all, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" officially exceeded [-] million, becoming the first domestic film with a box office of [-] million.

Starting from the highest box office record in a single day, "Lost in Thailand" has broken a series of records since its release, and stepped on all domestic films.

Tang An's domestic movie box office record has only been maintained for half a year. Up to now, only the domestic movie's first-day box office record has not been broken.

First, "Avatar" 13 billion, and "Thailand" 7 million. The domestic film market seems to have become hot in an instant.

The former can also be said to be due to the epoch-making 3D technology, but the latter is just an ordinary movie, which has raised the original domestic film box office record of 4 million by 3 million in one fell swoop.

Stimulated by this, Feng Xiaogang even announced in an interview that the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" was at least 8 million.

You must know that his previous goal was only 5 million, which was more than the 4 million in "Chinese Partner".

Other directors did not show weakness. In northern Hunan, Yichang, not far from Tang An, filmed the new film "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and Zhang Yimou also confidently stated that the box office of the new film aimed at 8 million.

Great directors like Chen Kaige and Jiang Wen are no exception. It seems that "Lost in Thailand" has suddenly become the target of everyone's catch-up.

Moreover, recently outside capital has also been in frequent contact with various companies in the industry. In the past, if the overseas copyright could not be sold when making a movie, it would basically lose money most of the time, and a lot of capital did not enter the market rashly.

But now the results of "Lost in Thailand" are here. If we roughly estimate the cost of the movie, the net profit is at least 1.5 million.

Of course, the first to bear the brunt are Bernard and Guangxian who are preparing to go public. If you look at Huayi, you will know that buying shares at this time is a guaranteed profit, and it is more than double the profit.

Even Tang An's Hantang Media did not have little contact with capital. Zhou Quan, a famous investor, IGD capital partner, and the top three Forbes Huaguo's best venture capitalists, contacted Tang An and asked for 5 capital injections. [-] million.

Other well-known domestic and Asian venture capital institutions also came here.

The one with the highest offer even directly gave a valuation of 15 billion.

The group that was originally less than 3 million yuan has not passed half a year. As long as Tang An is willing, it will change hands by 5 times.

Even Dong Ping, the chairman of Huayi, came here. Since Poly Culture and Huayi separated, the market value of Huayi has also fallen again and again.

However, at the end of last year, he acquired a cement company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, transferred out all the cement business, transferred in the film and television business, and changed its name to Wenhua Zhonghua.

Huayi went public through a backdoor, becoming the only two listed film and television companies in China, and because of the explosion of "Avatar" and "Lost in Thailand", the film market is booming, and the stock price has risen somewhat.

He came to Tang An to propose that the two parties reorganize again, and he took out a lot of analyzed data to convince Tang An.

But this is nothing more than a short-sighted person fooling around. Even if it is reorganized and listed through a backdoor, it will only be cashed out and lost control of the company.

Dong Ping, who specializes in this kind of business, of course doesn't care whether the company is his own, and in the end he sells it for cash.

That broken company was later sold to Ah Li, 60% of the shares were 60 billion.

Later, he took Xu Zheng and Ning Hao on board and became a shareholder of 21 Holdings. Xu Zheng sold his share of the proceeds from "囧带囧" to 1.5 Holdings at a price of 21 million. As the second largest shareholder of 21 Holdings, Xu Zheng benefited another 21 billion.

A piece of "Lost in Hong Kong" made him almost 20 billion, which is higher than the box office.

Movies have become a game of capital. After capital is involved, it is no longer a simple movie.

Making money has also become easier. Later, I don’t know how many film and television companies and studios that are not qualified to go public go public through backdoor listings. When the film and television stocks are booming, they make a fortune, and there are many people whose net worth has skyrocketed by hundreds of millions or billions.

In addition to the series of influences caused by "Lost in Thailand", two converted 3D Hollywood blockbusters "Alice in Wonderland" and "Clash of the Titans" released in March have also become hot topics.

Although the previous 3D conversion of "Su Qier" attracted a lot of criticism, the audience only thought that the domestic film was crudely produced, and they were still looking forward to these two Hollywood 3D movies.

As a result, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Although the box office of the two films was very high, the box office of "Alice in Wonderland" on the first day exceeded the 2300 million of "Lost in Thailand", and 7000 million in the first three days of the weekend.

"Clash of the Gods" also relied on the 3D title to get 1800 million box office on the first day, and nearly 6000 million in the first three days of the weekend.

The two films rubbed the three domestic films of the same period on the ground, and they couldn't breathe.

However, it doesn't matter!

The audience's word-of-mouth was in a mess, and the criticism was almost higher than the two movies "The Yueguang Treasure Box" and "Future Police".

At first, there was still a troll guide, but after the movie was released for more than a week, fans who spent a lot of money to watch two 3D movies spontaneously acted as tap water, constantly criticizing the two movies anywhere on the Internet.

The fake 3D and 3D subtitles directly caused the box office of the two movies to plummet.

Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun had just finished listening to the report of the new director of the Propaganda Department, with a smile on his face.

Wang Zhonglei next to him was also proud, "Brother, the 3D conversion has been labeled as "pseudo 3D" and "3D subtitles". Before Tang An's "Edge of Tomorrow" is released, it will be hyped as fake 3D. The impression formed in the audience's mind, even if Tang An wanted to publicize, it was too late."

"What's more, there are three blockbuster movies released in December. Under such circumstances, "Edge of Tomorrow" is doomed to fail!" Wang Zhongjun nodded confidently.

"Go and see what other 3D movies are going to be released, and don't miss any of them, so that the audience will feel disgusted when they hear about the 3D conversion!" Wang Zhongjun continued.

"Edge of Tomorrow" spent 4000 million conversion fees, and all of them are real scenes. The final effect must be much better than these shoddy 3D movies. In order to prevent Tang An from making a comeback, it is necessary to detain the conversion of 3D as fake 3D. make him helpless 1
At this time, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but rejoice that "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" was only converted into an IMAX version, and it was not converted into 3D, otherwise he would be fooled.
