Chapter 555 Someone is messing up! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
In 2010, the total box office of the domestic film market just exceeded 130 billion, last year it exceeded 150 billion, and this year it has exceeded [-] billion.

There is also the Hollywood disaster blockbuster "2012" in the Lunar New Year file.

"Life of Pi" directed by the famous Chinese director Li Yin.

The blockbuster "[-]" directed by Feng Xiaogang, the former King of Lunar New Year.

The action-adventure blockbuster "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longling Misty Cave" directed by Wu Ershan.

Kung Fu superstar Cheng Long directed and acted in the Kung Fu comedy "Zodiac".

The action drama "Great Shanghai" starring Zhou Runfa, Hong Jinbao and Wang Xiaoming.

Seven films have not yet been released, and it is conservatively estimated that at least 30 billion yuan in box office will be produced in the remaining one and a half months.

Then the total box office of domestic movies this year will reach 180 billion, an increase of 38.5% compared to last year.

180 billion, five years ago, this figure was unimaginable.

The plate of the film industry is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone is making more money.

But the total box office is only 180 billion. Tang An, a director, has already achieved a staggering 220 billion net worth, which shocked everyone in the industry.

There are two or three listed film and television companies in China with a market value of around 40 billion, but Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian are only worth 200 billion. They are not at the same level as Tang An. They even entered the top [-] of the Forbes list. don't go.

All the executives of film and television companies were taken aback by this number. They have been in the film and television industry for so many years, and they never thought that one day they would be able to reach the top of the country's richest list, bringing a large number of pharmaceutical, mining, energy, real estate, Internet, etc. The boss is under the pressure.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, all kinds of emotions, but it also gave practitioners in the film and television industry greater confidence.

Tang An can achieve a net worth of 200 billion in just three years, so even if he can't reach this point, he can always look forward to the double discount.

For the Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun checked his own ranking, and he was still in the top two hundred, which was just over one-seventh of Tang An's assets.

A comparison makes no sense at all.

With a long sigh, he threw the two pieces of paper aside.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about the shocking thing, took a sip of hot tea, cheered up and said the business.

"Zhong Lei, the next three months will be the most important time for the company. There can be no problems with any of the films "130", "Zodiac", and "Journey to the West". There is no upper limit on the budget of the public relations department. , and then the opportunity for these three movies to be released at the same time, at least the company's market value must be stabilized at more than [-] billion!" Wang Zhongjun asked with a serious face.

After "If You Are the One 2" last year, Huayi Investment released several blockbuster films, but it has been a long time since such a blockbuster blockbuster was released.

Needless to say, "6", the previous year's "Tangshan Earthquake" won more than [-] million box office in one fell swoop, and "[-]", which also sold bitterness and tears, is definitely a super blockbuster with a billion-dollar level.

Although Cheng Long's previous movies didn't have a high box office, this time it's a pure kung fu comedy, and "Zodiac" also has the potential to hit a billion.

Moreover, this film was filmed in many countries around the world, and the overseas results are also enough to look forward to.

Zhou Xingchi's last movie was "Yangtze River No. 08" in [-]. It was not a comedy that won [-] million box office.

Now "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is released again during the Spring Festival, and it is undoubtedly a billion-dollar blockbuster. The only thing that is uncertain is whether the audience will buy it without the starring role of Zhou Xingchi.

Even if the three billion-dollar blockbusters were too competitive in the same period, they might not be able to break the billion-dollar mark.

But in Wang Zhongjun's heart, no matter what, there will be at least 20 billion box office, and more than 25 billion is a sure thing.

Three blockbuster films were bombarded in turn, and more than three months was enough to push Huayi's stock to a peak. How much it can rise depends on the stock market.

Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Li Ming, Zhang Zhao, Qin Hong...the CEOs of the major companies have different ideas, but they all see the prospects of the film and television industry from Tang An.

An industry can create a No.11 super rich man in the country, and maybe he will be in the top ten in two years.

How many industries are there in the country?It is enough to prove the future of the film and television industry.

There are also those who are unhappy, and Zhang Zhao, CEO of LeTV Pictures, is one of them.

On the desk is the printed leaderboard list, and the Weibo interface is being displayed on the computer.

The official Weibo of Yang Mi Studio, which has been reorganized into Sega Media, announced the adaptation of Gu Man's popular novel "A Slight Smile is Alluring", and the heroine is Jiang Xiaodi, the heroine of the movie "Tiny Times".

Zhang Zhao has already rejected Zhou Jia's investment request three times in a row, the negotiation between the two parties broke down, and the heroine has to be replaced.

Prior to this, he also prevaricated and dealt with the distribution department of Hantang Media twice, preparing to let LeTV Films master the distribution.

He didn't expect the other party to be so determined. The heroine of a popular series said no, so she didn't want it, and even announced the start of filming a TV series, without giving any way out.

If you don’t want it, there are many people rushing to ask for it.

Zhang Zhao sneered, from Moying Group to Viewpoint Communication under the State Council Information Office, and then to Guangxian Media, he founded Guangxian Films and served as the president.

Even if he was kicked out by Wang Changtian, he turned around and founded LeTV Pictures within half a year. This year, he released six films this year, ranking firmly in the second echelon of domestic film and television companies, and he is a well-deserved leader in the film and television industry.

Now that the "Little Times" series has become famous, even if the heroine is changed, it's no big deal.

It's just that the heroine is not easy to choose. Cai Zhiping recommended Chen Xiyan, who is from her own company.

Guo Jinming recommended an actress from CTI, because CTI had just invested in Guo Jinming's Most Worldly Culture.

Zhang Yimou, the artistic director of the company, also wanted to get several actors from Zhang Weiping for the new picture.

And some of the company's star shareholders.

Wang Xiaoming recommended his girlfriend Yang Ying.

Feng Shaofeng also recommended Ni Ni.

Sun Honglei.
Previously, in order to expand his influence, Zhang Zhao invited many celebrities to buy shares, and now all of them have their eyes on the heroine of "Little Times".

I don't know how many calls I received this morning, and Zhang Zhao is also thinking about the actor.

It's impossible for Chen Xiyan, most of the actors in the movie are now Cai Zhiping's people, how could it be possible to let out the heroine.

According to Feng Shaofeng, LeTV has already invested in a love movie for him and Ni Ni.

Wang Xiaoming's girlfriend Yang Ying. Both "Waiting for the Wind" and "Tai Chi" hit the street.

There is really no suitable person
In addition to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Wei, the president of Ah Li Pictures, was probably also upset.

But now Zhang Qiang is slowly starting to fight back. The two are fighting openly and secretly in the company, and they each have their own projects, so they don't have much time to spare.

And Zhao Wei, who was filming "To Our Dying Youth" at Southeast University, also saw the news immediately.

Thinking that Tang An could achieve a net worth of 200 billion as a director, he might as well!
Every issue of the Forbes rankings can cause quite a stir in the circles of various industries, but for ordinary people, they generally care about who is the richest man, or they might as well care about the Forbes Celebrity List.

But this year Tang An was on the list, and he jumped up to No. 11 directly, overwhelming all the real estate tycoons, Internet tycoons, and mining tycoons, which is definitely a huge news.

Economy, society, technology, entertainment.
Almost all types of news are reporting the news about Tang An's net worth of 224 billion, which is not much less than the news about the richest man Zong Qinghou.

Especially in the entertainment media, news about Tang An occupied nearly half of all entertainment news.

"The 2012 Forbes Rich List was released. Beverage tycoon Zong Qinghou became the richest man in China. The famous director Tang An beat Internet giant Ma Yun to the top 224 with a net worth of 11 billion yuan, ranking No.[-]! "

"With a net worth of 200 billion, Tang Ancheng is the only practitioner in the media industry among the top [-] millionaires!"

"200 billion in three years, Fujixun News exclusively reveals Tang An's media empire!"

"From a great director to a media oligarch, Tang An has become No. 1 in the media industry!"

"Tang Ancheng is the youngest of the 32 billionaires who started from scratch, and at the age of 200, he equaled the record of the youngest [-] billion rich man created by the chairman of Sunshine Energy, Peng Xiaofeng!"

The current news in the entertainment industry is nothing more than news about divorce, sex, scandals, and movies such as "The Stolen Five Years".

The news that Tang An was ranked No. 11 on the Forbes rich list was widely reported, and basically everyone knew it. Ordinary people who often read the news online could see it.

If other people may not know it, Tang An's movie has at least tens of millions of viewers in China. After so many movies, his reputation is no less than that of Zhang Yimou.

It can't be said that he is a household name, but at least everyone who likes to watch movies knows him.

The audience's understanding of Tang An is limited to the very powerful director. His movies have been sold all over the world, with a box office of 30 billion. The film and television company he owns is also one of the best in the entertainment industry, and he has invested in several companies.

But that's all. Everyone knows that Tang An is rich, but no one knows to what extent. Not many people try to find out.

The figure of 224 billion is definitely far beyond the range of public perception. For ordinary people, they cannot imagine that a director can have a wealth of more than 200 billion. This is already a number that 99.99% of people will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

The key point is that the distance between Tang An and the masses is not far. Basically, movies are released every year, and they often run road shows all over the country. If you want to see them, you can see them.

The matter of Tang An's 224 billion net worth is now being discussed everywhere on the Internet, occupying the front pages of major portal websites, ranking first in Weibo searches, and ranking first in Baidu searches.

There are all kinds of news, and some media are almost reporting him as a role model and idol for young people in Huaguo.

This is still the case that Hantang Media did not dispatch naval propaganda.

In fact, it is considered normal. A 32-year-old billionaire often has close contact with ordinary people, and he is close to ordinary people.

There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and Tang An, the person involved, was also very busy.

At the beginning, he would go online to read everyone's comments, and when he saw the words like 666 and awesome, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

But what followed were countless interviews of all kinds, including economics, entertainment, and state-run newspapers such as the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, and the Beijing Municipal Government.

It's not easy to refuse. Fortunately, the interviews are all in the office, so there is no need to run around.

Gradually, I got used to it. Basically, there are one or two media and newspaper offices every day, and the words are similar. After two days, Tang An basically does not need any preparation. Rephrase it.

This is probably how the leader’s speech came about. It will come naturally when he talks a lot, and what he says looks different every time, but it actually has the same meaning.

There was a little commotion on the list this time, but it wasn't too big, after all, Hantang Media wasn't popular enough in China.

Although Tang arranged to enter No.11, which seems very high, the companies controlled by people in this position have all entered the world's top [-].

Not to mention the top [-] in the world, Hantang Media is far behind even the top [-] in Huaguo.

The 175th place in the Huaguo Top [-] this year is Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, with an annual turnover of [-] billion yuan.

Rich, but low status, that's the case.

It's not that there is no relationship with BAT. Even if Tang An accepts their investment, it will be difficult to do so at this time.

With a turnover of 170 billion, if you just make movies, you don’t count overseas income. For a movie with a box office of 10 billion, the publicity and production can earn 4.3 million.

In other words, you need to make 40 movies with a box office of one billion to be ranked in the top [-] in Huaguo.

Of course, the company can't just make movies, but also TV dramas, variety shows, distribution, theaters and other businesses.

However, if the film and television company wants to become one of the top [-] companies in Huaguo, don’t even think about it in the past few years. It is impossible to partner with BAT, unless Huayi, Bernard, and Guangxian are all acquired.

Tang An's entry into the Forbes rich list is still slowly fermenting, but he didn't let anyone publicize it, so he kept it at an appropriate level.

The Lunar New Year file is still going on. "The Stolen Five Years" has been released for two weeks as of the 19th. After earning 1.3 million box office in the first week, it earned 1.18 million again in the second week.

It was released for eleven days, with a total box office of 2.48 million.

The word-of-mouth of the film is average, and it can be regarded as a pass, and it is not a big problem to break through [-] million.

The monoclonal antibody has exceeded [-] million. After the four major female roles, Yang Mi also has some box office appeal, and now the movie circles have a very good evaluation of her.

We didn't pick up films like "Far Cry", "Big Wudang", and "The Vanishing Bullet". Although the output is small, there are only one or two films a year, but the quality and box office have improved.

Now the outside world's quotation for her film salary has reached 800 million, second only to Sidan Shuangbing, and it is one step away from the [-] million mark.

Of course, 800 million is just the pay for a romantic comedy film, after all, Yang Mi's two consecutive romantic films were big hits.

Moreover, the investment of this type is low, even with the 800 million yuan salary, without famous directors and big-name stars, the production cost of 1500 million yuan is almost the same.

Not to mention [-] million box office, even [-] million is a big profit.

Yang Mi has taken several notebooks in the past few days, so why don't she come to Tang An to give her advice.

Holding several scripts in his hands, Tang An shook his head and said speechlessly, "I still need to choose the scripts, and you must pay me at least 30% of your salary."

Yang Mi grinningly stepped forward and hugged Tang An's arm, "Oh brother An, you are already worth more than 200 billion yuan, why don't you take a look with your sharp eyes."

"I am a majestic 200 billion rich man, and I get millions of dollars in minutes. You can count it for more than ten minutes."

Tang An replied, and continued to look through the events.

They are all low-budget romantic comedies, and they want to try their luck.

But how could there be a dark horse every day? These few scripts are so bad that they seem to be made up of various plots.

Tang An angrily returned the stack of scripts to her, "Come back, there is no decent script."

"Ah, I'm wasting my time."

Yang Mi was a little disappointed, didn't stay long, and left in a hurry.

"Then brother An, I'm leaving, there are still activities."

Does this count as disrespecting people when they lift their pants?

Tang An shook his head and continued to prepare for editing.

Although the editing has not started yet, the preparations are about to start now.

Especially for this kind of ultra-long movie, which is close to 160 minutes, editing is the most important thing.

Rhythm is the most important thing. If the rhythm is not well grasped in such a long movie, the audience must be bored watching it.

Go through the script several times from the beginning to the end, I have a general plot direction in my mind, and mark each plot
At this moment, assistant Xiao He hurriedly knocked on the door and came in.

"The chairman is not well, something happened to the crew of "囧囧 in Hong Kong"."

Tang An stopped his work, saw that she was in such a hurry, and asked, "What's wrong, isn't "Lost in Hong Kong" going to be finished in a few days?"

"The film crew clashed with local merchants during filming in Xiangjiang, several people were injured, and now the other party is blocking the hotel"

"Is the crew injured or the locals injured?" Tang An asked.

"Locals, they want 500 million in compensation, or they will ask reporters to expose the beating of the crew."

Tang An frowned, "This is extortion, Xu Zheng didn't contact Eucalyptus?"

"I contacted them, but the other party didn't respond for a while, and Director Xu didn't call the police, saying that the group of people should be young and Dangerous, and calling the police is useless."

This is someone trying to make trouble, and it's such an old-fashioned way.

"I'll go to Xiasen Bureau first, you can arrange it, and I'll go to Xiangjiang myself!" Tang An ordered.
