China Entertainment Times

Chapter 543 Return to the Movie
In the global film market, the summer vacation is the top priority of the year, and Huaguo is no exception.

At the beginning of July, it was originally the beginning of the summer vacation, but the entire entertainment industry, except for the upcoming release of "Little Times", only some lace news.

In the entertainment industry, that is, love, breakup, fineness, etc., the "stone love" between Li Chen and Zhang Xinyu has been popular for a long time.

In fact, the film and television industry this year is not as lively as variety shows. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV successively launched two variety shows, "The Voice of China" and "Running Man" in the summer.

The two popular variety shows were broadcast in turn, and immediately blew up the ratings completely, crushing all the programs in the country at the same time.

"The Voice" aired two episodes, the ratings of the first episode was 1.5%, and it was second in the same period.

In the second period, the ratings immediately soared to 2.8%, and the ratings share also exceeded 7%.

Running Man also aired two episodes, the ratings of the first episode were 3%, and the second episode also rose to the top of the ratings.

Two variety shows were broadcast at the same time, one Friday and one Saturday, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV made a big splash.

Among the seven guests of Running Man, Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, and Wang Kai were from Han and Tang Dynasties, and Li Chen, Yang Ying, Wang Kai, and Wang Baoqiang were from Huayi.

When it was settled before, Wang Baoqiang hadn't left Huayi yet.

There were four in Huayi and three in Han and Tang. These three people were finally found together, and no one wanted to go.

Deng Chao intends to develop in the direction of comedy, focusing on comedy and taking into account other genres. It just so happens that this is a comedy variety show, so I came here to find inspiration.

Zhao Liying is doing well under Zhou Shiwei's subordinates, but she is still far from the first line, so she is not picky.

Although Wang Kai is already in the top line of TV dramas, he is not picky when he has time. Back then, the sissy in "Ugly Invincible" played for several seasons, so he accepted it.

As for the top four, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Sun Li, and Liu Ye, they don't like it at all.

The newcomers from the several studios signed quite a lot, not to mention that the various film and television academies added up to 08 to 11 newcomers, basically covering the [-]-[-] classes.

Anyway, there are more roles. The fifth and sixth roles in the star TV series are very rare for these newcomers, so don't worry about not being able to arrange the roles.

The two variety shows not only made Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV the most dazzling TV station in this summer, but Tudou Group, the exclusive online broadcasting platform, also benefited from the benefits, and its market value broke through the 10 billion US dollar mark in one fell swoop, reaching 11.57 billion.

In comparison, the market value of Youku, China's largest video site, has fallen to $23 billion today.

Although there is still a big gap between the two, Tudou's growth rate has just begun. After all, the variety show has only been broadcast for two episodes, and there will be a long time to come. Today, the stock price is one day.

And Tudou is stepping up to launch a lot of online dramas, including "Tomb Raiders Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" TV series.

At the same time, after the preparations for all departments of Tudou Pictures are completed, the production departments of movies, TV dramas, and variety shows have also prepared a lot of web dramas, web dramas, and web dramas.

The two variety shows almost suppressed the news that Fujixun established Tencent Pictures, Baidu successively took back other shares in iQiyi, acquired PPS, and established iQiyi Pictures.

If it weren't for the two major companies' hard-working publicity, they might not even be able to stir up any waves among the masses.

Fujixun once again announced a merger and acquisition case, acquiring 3.1% of the shares of Shengda Literature for 100 million US dollars, and formed a new Fujixun Literature with QQ Reading, and established a new website to create Chinese!

Fiction Reading Network, Under the Banyan Tree, Romance Novels, Tianfang Tingshu Network, Yuedu Network, five major fiction websites, plus two publishing houses, Zhongzhi Bowen and Jushi Wenhua.

Just such a small industry cost 3.1 million US dollars.

Fujixun then began to contact Softbank China, Carlyle Capital, IDG Capital, and Zhixin Capital, intending to win 54.28% of the shares held by these shareholders.

Fortunately, Tang An reacted quickly and took the first step to win 4700% of Zhixin Capital's shares at a premium price of 5.71 million U.S. dollars. The total shares reached 48.57%. 2.86%.

Tang An had already given Wu Wen's team the greatest freedom, and it was basically impossible for them to fall back on Teng Xun.

Even if the worst happens, Tang An still has the right of first refusal.

In the conference room of Hantang Media, the three leaders of the company, Tang An, Chen Guofu, and Xu Manyun, as well as Wu Feng, the deputy general manager of the investment and development department, and Ya Ning, the deputy general manager of the development department, were having a meeting.

Also, the curtain is showing the Shengda Literature Conference Room, where Wu Wen and his team are present.

Not long after Fujixun launched the acquisition case, Tang An received word from Wu Wen. After all, he had also worked in Shengda Literature for several years.

Originally, Tang An planned to take down the remaining few websites of Shengda Literature and the publishing house, but it was not necessary at this time, and he would spend money everywhere, and wanted to wait for half a year.

Unexpectedly, Teng Xun made a move, Tang An could only send Wu Feng and Wu Wen to form a team to join in.

However, Tengxun really doesn't take money as money anymore, and it was 3.1 million U.S. dollars, more than 20 billion yuan.

It was only 3.5 million US dollars to win Singularity, Jinjiang, Xiaoxiang Academy, Hongxiu Tianxiang and a publishing house.

It can only be said that a big dog is a big dog, and it can't be competed at all.

Nowadays, with the success of several film adaptations, the word IP is gradually rising, and the value of online novels is also gradually rising. The film and television copyright of a phenomenal novel has reached tens of millions, which is no match for top TV screenwriters. Not inferior.

It doesn't matter if there are several novel websites, but Tengxun has QQ reading after all, and this is the top five novel readers by downloads.

This APP alone is enough to support a website that is not much weaker than Singularity.

Wu Wen from the curtain reported on the current situation. The impact of the founding Chinese established by relying on QQ reading on the online novel circle is no less than the impact of the three major giants on the film and television circle.

A new company, with enough traffic and enough readers, lacks a large number of authors.

On all websites on the entire network, almost all authors with some achievements have been contacted by the other party to recruit people, and an editor in the editorial department of Singularity has already left.

The condition offered by Fujixun, who is not short of money, is almost impossible to refuse.

Same as history, but earlier.

Although Singularity was not greatly affected later, Tang An still discussed a series of countermeasures with them.

It's not like I haven't encountered this kind of thing in the past, and I survived it.

In addition to increasing some benefits for authors and increasing editors' salaries and benefits, Wu Wen decided to open a new website.

Over the past year, in addition to the original Singularity APP, a Cloud Bookstore APP has also been launched.

After giving away a large amount of share to major operators, mobile phone manufacturers, and novel websites, plus the huge advertising costs, the users of Yunzhong Bookstore will already be ranked among the top ten reading apps.

It is mainly the result of the fall of the mobile reading base and the diversion of a large number of users.

The audiences of Yunzhong Bookstore and Singularity are different. The former focuses more on wireless-style novels, just like the later founding.

Yunzhong Bookstore has already raised users, and will build its own website next.

As for other details, I will leave it to Wu Wen and his team.

Then there is the next question. Fujixun is not only interested in the field of online literature, but also interested in Tudou.

Hantang Media only holds 34.7% of the shares of Tudou Group. Although it is already a relative holding, it only has 40% of the voting rights, which is usually enough.

But in the face of a master like Teng Xun who is not short of money, it is not impossible to really be ruthless.

Fortunately, the two variety shows only aired two episodes, and the market value of Tudou skyrocketed to US$10 billion.

It is foreseeable that when the two programs end, there are still more than two months, and the market value will definitely rise to a new height.

Moreover, at this time, Tudou is not much different from Youku's market share. Once the overtake is completed, the meaning will be different. The first and second are absolutely incomparable.

At that time, it was not a billion thing.

Those shareholders also took a fancy to this point, so they suspended the negotiation with Fujixun.

In addition, Hantang also announced in advance that the two online dramas "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Raiders Notes" will be broadcast exclusively on Tudou, which is also good news.

This is not the way, Tang An still has to find a chance to get the remaining 10% of the voting rights.

The meeting continues. Today's meeting is mainly for variety shows.

The Variety Business Department of Hantang Media has actually been established, but there is still a lack of a group of high-level management.

Tang An intends to directly acquire a variety show production company to save trouble.

Wu Feng reported the results of the investigation.

At present, there are no more than ten large-scale variety show production companies in China, namely Canxing Production, Blue Flame, Energy Films, Dongfang Fengxing, Weizhong Media, and Shixi Media.
Canxing Productions is the producer of The Voice of China, a joint venture between the Chinese Cultural Foundation and News Corporation.

Blue Flame is owned by Warner Hundred Records, and the others do not have much corporate background.

Tang An looked through the information of these companies, and found that they all have good qualifications.

"Mr. Wu, you can go talk about these things, at least win one, and you can keep part of their management."

It's already July, and the filming of "Interstellar" is about to start. Tang An has too many things that he can't take care of, so he arranges them one by one.

Whether it's the company's release of several films in the second half of the year, the preparations for Wuzhou's distribution, the business of Tudou Films, Han and Tang literature, the film and television dramas co-produced by Han and Tang Film and several major studios, he can only ask about the general strategic direction.

For variety shows, let the following people examine several variety shows in Southeast Asia that have been popular in China.

Near the middle of July, another movie released by the company "Little Times" was released in China. Although there was a sniper from Ah Li, but with the full release of Hantang and no other popular movies competing in the same period, the first weekend was four days. The super-high box office hit 2.91 million, which shocked the entire entertainment circle. No one thought that a movie directed by a writer could explode with such great energy.

"Wolf Warrior" has already launched, and "Interstellar" will also hold a press conference on the 13th. Tang An will put all his energy back into the movie.
