Chapter 483 Temporarily pressing one end (please subscribe for the first update!)
At 2011:11 pm on November 10, 6, the Hantang International Cinema in Xin'ao Branch of Tianhong Shopping Center in Beijing Olympic Sports Center was holding a premiere ceremony for the movie "Predecessor Raiders".

Up to now, Hantang Cinemas has opened nearly a hundred movie theaters across the country. Although most of them are located in second- and third-tier cities and county towns, new luxury movie theaters have also been built in several major cities, all of which have seven or eight halls. There is also a hall for thousands of people.

The Rainbow in the Olympic Sports Center only opened two months ago, although it is outside the third ring road and far away from the CBD.

However, there are also many nearby communities, primary and secondary schools, and universities, which seem to have formed a new shopping and leisure center on the North Fourth Ring Road.

And there is only one Poly Cinema nearby, which is very advantageous.

It was the first time to hold a premiere at his own home, and Tang An was in a different mood.

"Hi, Mr. Li."

"Mr. Zhao is here, please come in."

"Mr. Qian, welcome to honor me."

Huayi also held the premiere today, but there were also quite a few people from Tang An's side.

Even several major theaters have sent people over, but Huang Qun, the general manager of Xinyinglian Cinemas, is complaining that Tang An has already grasped the production and distribution of film and television, and he wants to compete with the theaters for the market.

"Tang Dong, you are not being kind, you are here to steal business from us."

Tang An waved his hands and smiled, "Mr. Huang, what you said is serious. Xinyinglian is the top five theater chains in China, and the entire Dongzhimen business district is your movie theater. I just opened two movie theaters in the capital." .”

They are all just joking, there is still a lot of territory in the movie theater market waiting for the major theater lines to occupy it.

What's more, Tang An is targeting the markets of small cities and county towns, and there is not much conflict with their major theater chains that mainly operate in first- and second-tier cities.

People from Berna, Guangxian, Xiaoma, LeTV, Xingmei, and Wanda also arrived soon after.

Some friends who are not in the film and television industry also came to join in the show, and Cao Wei, CEO of Xinlang and CEO of Xinlang Weibo, was present in person.

"Hello Mr. Cao, welcome to join us."

Tang An walked up quickly.

Nowadays, Xinlang Weibo is developing more and more rapidly, occupying the vast majority of social media.

Even if Tengxun launched Tengxun Weibo later, it did not affect the status of Xinlang Weibo at all.

What's more, now Weibo online publicity has accounted for a very important proportion.

As for Cao Wei's reason for coming, Tang An also knew.

As early as half a month ago, Xin Lang had the willingness to take a stake in Tudou, and had already discussed cooperation with Wang Wei for half a month.

All of this naturally cannot avoid Tang An, the major shareholder. He holds 24.7% of the shares. As long as he takes any two shares of Kaixin Asia, IDG, and GGV Capital, he can reach at least 48%.

Then go to buy some small shareholders, you can achieve absolute control of Tudou.

It is of course good to cooperate with Xinlang, but I didn't talk about it in the screening hall, just chatted a few words and then sat and waited for the premiere ceremony to start.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the premiere ceremony officially began, and Tang An did not come on stage, so Chen Guofu was asked to go up on behalf of the company.

At about 7:[-], the movie started showing.

This film was still completed by Sheng Tang Studio and Tian Yusheng himself. Tang An just invested and stuffed a heroine in it, and did not interfere with the production of the film.

Basically the original plot, comedy romance.

If you just look at the title and starring role, many people will think it is a vulgar web drama.

The movie was actually well done, and the much-maligned heroine got better after being replaced by Wan Qian.

At the beginning of the wedding, the wedding atmosphere of the bride and groom's predecessors was tense and funny.

The plot is sad and happy, and it can mobilize the audience's emotions at any time. After all, it is a film that is very close to people's lives. Who can do without a few exes.

Although there are many nasty jokes in the plot, they are very down-to-earth, and they are not too blunt when mixed together.

The actors themselves are quite suitable for the role. Although there is no breakthrough in acting skills, the acting skills of the two leading actors are not as good as Wan Qian and Wang Likun, but they are enough.

The 105-minute movie ended quickly, ending with the meeting between Han Geng and Wan Qian on the street.

"Hi ex-husband."

"Hi ex-wife."

The premiere ended with the audience's applause and sporadic choking sounds. Judging from the audience's reaction, it was relatively satisfactory.

At the celebration banquet, Tang An toasted the creators.

"Director Tian, ​​everyone has worked hard, the audience responded very well, and you have completed a good work."

Tian Yusheng said gratefully, "Thank you Tang Dong for giving me this opportunity."

"Thank you Tang Dong."

"Respect Tang Dong."

After drinking a glass, Tang An laughed again, "Han Geng, you probably won't be able to wash off your playboy image after this movie."

Han Geng smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Deng Kai also did a good job, it's a little different from the original "You Now You See Me"."

"It was Tang Dong who gave you the chance." Deng Kai said hastily.

"But the two of you are still not as good as other girls. Ren Wanqian and Wang Likun are much better than you. If you really want to develop on the big screen, you need to strengthen your acting skills."

After saying a few words casually, I had a few drinks with the executives of various companies, and then came to a small conference room in the hotel with Cao Wei.

"Mr. Cao, I welcome Xinlang's investment. I don't know how Xinlang plans to cooperate with Tudou?"

Going straight to the point, it is impossible for Xinlang to just invest and wait for a price increase, and there must be business cooperation.

Unlike other capitals, Tang An did not participate much in the operation of Tudou. On the contrary, he also arranged for Zhou You, the vice president of the group, to go to Tudou as the president.

Since the beginning of this year, due to the success of some strategic directions proposed by Tang An through Zhouyou, the stock price has risen to 6 million US dollars from 7.5 million US dollars on the day of listing, a continuous increase of 25%.

With the support of shareholders such as IDG, Kaiyuan Capital, Capital Today, GGV Capital, and Jifu Asia, Zhou You has been promoted to COO of Tudou.com.

Even if Wang Wei still holds 25% of the voting rights, he does not have as much voice as so many shareholders.

Whoever can bring profits to shareholders will have a greater say.

Cao Wei's cooperation concept is inseparable from Tang An's support.

"Tang Dong, we are already building a "video homepage" product with hot words such as movies and TV series. Through the link on the video homepage, users can directly jump to Tudou.com to watch movies, which will bring a lot of traffic to Tudou.com .”

It is a generous condition for Cao Wei to open his mouth. At present, only less than 20% of the video website traffic, 30% comes from search, and the rest comes from various forums and other community-based platforms.

It would undoubtedly be a huge advantage to have access to the traffic of Xinlang Weibo.

For this cooperation alone, no matter whether it is Wang Wei or others, it is impossible to refuse.

And Xinlang is not completely without requirements. They have to hand over all their video storage to Tudou, so as to save a lot of broadband and maintenance costs.

Moreover, the shared video on Weibo will also be open to all websites. Tudou needs to spend resources to promote it, and Weibo can also collect part of the advertising share from it.

The verbal general direction has been finalized for the time being, and Cao Wei will bring people to talk with Tudou management for specific details.

Then Cao Wei mentioned the first Weibo Night Awards Gala two months later, and asked Tang An to bring his actors to attend.

This is the previous Xinlang Network Ceremony, a private awards show, with various reviews and selections. Many awards were voted on Weibo, and the influence and exposure were not bad.

Tang An also readily agreed to take someone on a trip to win a few prizes.

In the early morning of the 11th, the two films "Predecessor Raiders" and "Waiting for the Wind" were officially released in the domestic film market.

The audience of the two films are all young people, and the box office of the zero-point show is also quite a lot.

On the 12th, the first-day box office of the two films came out successively, and "Predecessor Raiders" won a high box office of 1200 million on the first day.

However, the box office champion of the day was "Waiting for the Wind". Relying on the title of the sequel of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", strong publicity, and deliberately hyped scandals, it won 1600 million box office on the first day.

"The Battle of Singles' Day has begun! On November 11, 11, the sequel of "11 Days of Broken Relationship" "Waiting for the Wind" once again won the single-day box office champion!"

When Wang Zhongjun saw such news in the company early in the morning, he was in a great mood, and finally overwhelmed Tang An.
