Chapter 408 Still Weak! (The second update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)

In September, the domestic film market entered the off-season, not only for movies, but also for TV series.

Only on September 9st, a sci-fi movie "Inception" was released. This sci-fi blockbuster, which was later regarded as a classic, got a good box office of 1 million on the first day.

It is already very good to get a box office of 1300 million on the first day of the school season just after the summer.

5 million in 9300 days in the first week, breaking [-] million in two weeks, added fire to this off-season movie, and it doesn't look so cold.

North America and overseas are also great sellers. It was released in North America as early as July, and won a box office of 7 million in North America.

Xiangjiang was also released in July, with a total box office of 5700 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Japan, it surpassed the annual box office of "Titanic" in three days, causing a violent sensation.

It is the latest to be released in mainland China. In addition to these two weeks, the global box office has exceeded 8 million US dollars.

After the first half month, the single-day box office of "Raise Your Hands: Chasing the Adomaru" broke through the 100 million mark, and the others didn't even cause a storm.

On September 9th, Tang An came to Shanghai Shanghai Radio and Television Station located in Shanghai Pudong New District to attend the inauguration ceremony of Li Ruigang, the new director of Shanghai Shanghai Radio and Television Station.

As one of the few media giants in China, Li Ruigang's inauguration ceremony gathered almost all the CEOs of related industries in the circle.

General film companies are not eligible to receive invitations.

Modu Radio and Television Station was formally established last year, merging Modu TV, Modu Oriental TV, Modu People's Broadcasting Station, and Modu Oriental Radio. Li Ruigang concurrently serves as the president of Modu Oriental Media Group.

After being led to the auditorium, Tang An was still placed in the middle, and there were too many bosses here.

Everyone around was a bigwig in the entertainment circle, with Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Qin Hong in front.

In the front, those who can sit with the leaders of Modu Optoelectronics and Han Sanping are all with a market value of tens of billions or even nearly [-] billion.

Huayi's third largest shareholder, Jiang Nanchun, chairman of Focus Media, was sitting in front.

For people in the film and television industry, Huayi, Bernard, and Guangxian are giants, but looking at the entire media circle, for Huayi and the others, a large group like Focus Media is a giant.

This is the first media group to land on the U.S. stock market, and it has gained a firm foothold on NASDAQ. Its market value has reached nearly 10 billion, and it has monopolized the billboards in commercial office buildings in domestic cities. The market value of more than [-] LCD billboards alone is equivalent to It is worth the market value of three Huayi.

However, there are some foam elements. After all, an LCD billboard with a cost of 4000 yuan has a market value of 40 million yuan, which is also rare.

It depends on when this bubble bursts, and it may become bigger and bigger.

The ceremony was very formal, which showed Li Ruigang's weight.

This is a real media giant. Li Ruigang is still serving as the president of Shanghai Oriental Media Group. Last year, the turnover exceeded 01 billion, which is more than 30:[-] points larger than these film and television companies in the circle.

Moreover, Li Ruigang is also the director of WWP Group, the world's largest media group, and the only Chinese director.

After the ceremony, everyone moved to the Expo Intercontinental Hotel by the Huangpu River to attend a grand banquet.

Tang An was also led by Han Sanping to barely get into their circle.

"Director Li, this is Tang An Tang Director of Han Tang Media, a young talent in the media field." Han Sanping pulled Tang An and introduced.

"Hello, Master Li." Tang An greeted quickly.

Facing Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and the others, Tang An could still face each other as equals, but this big boss who was later called Huaguo's "Murdoch" still couldn't keep calm.

Moreover, Tang An also admired him very much. In the next two years, he would give up his career in politics or business.

When he was promoted from a state-owned enterprise in his early 40s, he was promoted to the Standing Committee. As long as there are no accidents, he will at least be a big official in Xinjiang in the future.

It is estimated that if anyone chooses, he will choose to be in politics.

It was rare that Li Ruigang knew Tang An, so he had a drink with him with a smile.

"Tang Dong is really young and promising. I was a few years older than you and I just took over Wenguang Media."

"Master Li, you are joking, I am a small company, how can I compare with you." Tang An laughed quickly.

"Tang Dong is being modest. The TV series your company made before was called "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Unfortunately, we didn't get the terrestrial channel to test the waters."

"If Master Li is interested, we can talk about the first round then." Tang An said politely.

I can't stop complaining in my heart. Your new director has taken office, and the following Dongfang TV station has also carried out personnel transfers. Who cares about testing the waters of a TV series? No one even came.

Then Han Sanping took Tang An to meet Jiang Nanchun, chairman of Focus Media, and chatted for a few words.

There are also large domestic media groups such as Southern Media, and people in related industries have made friends.

This is how the network came about. Jiang Nanchun was chatting with Sun Zhengyi, the head of Softbank, and Lu Hongliang, the chairman of Starkey, and Sun Zhengyi jokingly asked Tang An if he needed financing.

Although it was a joke, Tang An knew that as long as he agreed, he would definitely get the financing.

On the way, Shengda Chen Tianqiao also came, Sun Zhengyi and Lu Hongliang are both shareholders of Shengda.

Chen Tianqiao also talked about Shengda's plan to develop a magical online game, and discussed with Tang An about the game adaptation of "Painted Skin".

Adapting the online game "Painted Skin" does not need to pay Tang An's copyright fee, the copyright is still in the hands of Pu Songlin.
However, if you want to use the characters and plots in the movie, and want several leading actors to speak with the images in the movie, you have to give Tang An money.

A banquet met many people, from the media field, investment companies, and officials.

After a circle, Tang An introduced each other, found Han Sanping again, and said sincerely, "Han Dong, thank you so much."

Without Han Sanping's recommendation, it would be difficult for him to enter a higher circle, let alone know so many people.

In the final analysis, he is the boss of a company with a market value of more than one billion, plus the status of a big director, which is not enough to look good in front of others.

"Hehe, you will get to know each other sooner or later. If you are willing to raise money now, Softbank and Sequoia will come to you." Han Sanping waved his hand and smiled.

As a leader in the entertainment industry, Han Sanping still hopes that there will be more fresh blood in the entertainment industry. As long as Tang An has the ability, he doesn't mind mentioning it.

"By the way, what happened to your sci-fi movie, remember to submit it for trial as soon as it comes out." Han Sanping turned and urged.

"It's going well, don't worry."

With the help of the military and the background of the end of the world, the review period must be longer.

After the banquet ended at noon, Tang An got together with them again and rushed back to the capital in the afternoon.

After walking this trip, Tang An really realized that he was still very weak, much weaker.

However, with more than ten years of foresight, I am very confident that I will finally step into the top circle.

After this year, those projects can recover a lot of cash.

It will take some time for the theaters to digest the [-] million cash, and next year is enough for him to start seven or eight film and television drama projects at the same time, and then develop other surrounding industrial chains.

But what is in front of us now is "33 Days of Broken Love". The production cost of this film is only 1600 million. If there are no accidents, it can bring hundreds of millions of profits to the group.

After that, there will be "Edge of Tomorrow", one by one, step by step.
