Chapter 571 First contact with Ma Yun! (Second more please subscribe!)

The Lunar New Year file is over, and 2013 is here.

A year has passed, and it is time for major companies to take stock and summarize the gains and losses of the past year.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Huayi Brothers just experienced the disastrous failure of "20" at the box office. The stock price plummeted by nearly 20%, and their market value has evaporated by [-] billion.

However, with the box office hit of "Zodiac", it finally stopped the downward trend.

Wang Zhongjun finally felt relieved. Before the release of "Zodiac", he was even more nervous than when "[-]" was released.

If "Zodiac" strikes again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, 25 days after its release, the box office has exceeded 90 million, and Huayi's market value has also returned to [-] billion, and it is still rising as it gets closer and closer to [-] billion.

It is foreseeable that as long as the box office exceeds one billion, it is possible to reach the tens of billions mark.

"[-]" hit the box office, which also made Wang Zhongjun more vigilant about the Spring Festival stalls.

Feng Xiaogang rushed, and probably no director other than Tang An dared to promise that he would be a big hit.

I held a morning meeting to make full preparations for the release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

At the same time, "Zodiac", which is currently being screened, has not been let go.

"No matter what, we must ensure that the box office of "The Chinese Zodiac" exceeds one billion. Go talk to the theaters and reduce the follow-up share. We must ensure that it reaches one billion!"

Wang Zhongjun ordered with a serious face.

One billion is a watershed. There are only five in China, and they are all produced by Hantang Media.

If Huayi can produce and distribute a billion-dollar movie, its influence will be extraordinary.

Breaking through one billion, creating a wave of momentum, stabilizing the market value at more than ten billion or even higher in one fell swoop.

Shareholders and speculators who currently hold Huayi stock are waiting to break one billion. If it fails to reach it, it is likely to cause a lot of impact.

"The production department is preparing to cooperate with Director Feng to prepare the next film. Wang Xi is already working on re-polishing the script of "Nobleman" in 08. This time, there is absolutely no room for any problems!"

This year has already been considered a failure. The "Tai Chi" series hit the street, "[-]" hit the street, and only one "Zodiac" succeeded, which made last year's financial report look better.

When the Wang brothers returned to the chairman's office, Wang Zhongjun still looked sad.

Wang Zhonglei thought he was worried about the company's next project, so he persuaded him, "Brother, don't worry too much, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" has a great chance of winning against "Journey to Hong Kong", Zhou Xingchi is also the real king of comedy.

Feng Xiaogang's "Aristocrat" this time is a comedy. If the cost is under control, the cost may be recovered through advertising placement, and this year there will be Xu Ke's "Di Renjie". "

"That's not what worries me."

Wang Zhongjun shook his head. Feng Xiaogang failed with the disaster theme this time, but he is best at comedy themes. For the movie "Nobleman", Wang Hao had to re-polish the script, so there is nothing to worry about.

Needless to say "Di Renjie", Xu Ke's previous "Tongtian Empire" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" were all big sellers.

"Zhong Lei, haven't you noticed that since Tang An and Chen Guofu left, the company's film projects have been worse year after year." Wang Zhongjun sighed.

Wang Zhonglei nodded, "It's really too risky to rely on only one Feng Xiaogang, but right now there are only a few directors who can sell the box office, so dig it out and make up for it."

"It's not just that, Tang Anna has nothing to say. Just talk about Chen Guofu. In the past few years, the films that the company made money were all handled by him. There are not many films in the company's film production that are losing money. Now get rid of Feng Xiaogang. Out of several movies, only one "You Long Xi Feng" made a profit." Wang Zhongjun said helplessly.

Wang Zhonglei said, "But where can I find a top producer? It's impossible for Bernard's Shi Nansheng, and China Film's Huang Jianxin can't be invited either."

It's not so easy to find a top-level producer. This is not the kind of producer with a name. From film preparation to post-production, it is even more difficult than a director.

Producer, as the name suggests, supervises the quality of the film, not just tedious preliminary preparations.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, how is your talk with Teng Huatao?" Wang Zhongjun talked about another matter.

Now Huayi not only lacks a top producer who can control the overall situation, but there are also very few good directors.

In the past two years, I worked on Project H. In addition to Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" and "Zodiac", the sequel "Global Love" of "Love in the City", Feng Delun's "Tai Chi" two parts, "Starry Sky" All hit the street.

Wang Zhongjun, who is still working on "The General of the Yang Family" and "The Best Life for a Coquettish Woman", has no hope.

There is no market for the former costume films.

The title of the latter does not seem to be able to sell money.

Without a director, Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhonglei to ask Teng Huatao if he had a film project.

Although "Waiting for the Wind" failed, "33 Days of Broken Love" is enough to prove Teng Huatao's ability, and it is also a director that Hua Yi can currently produce.

Wang Zhonglei said, "He is currently producing the TV series "Little Daddy". I chatted with him for more than half an hour, and I have no intention of returning to the big screen at all."

"waste!"

Wang Zhongjun couldn't help cursing out loud.

Since the failure of "Waiting for the Wind", Teng Huatao was completely depressed after being hit, and he didn't even have the courage to pick up the guide tube again.

Wang Zhonglei also said with some regrets, "It's also because "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was too successful and praised him too highly. That's why we couldn't accept the failure of "Waiting for the Wind", and the media stepped on it even harder."

"Useless things, I went to find his old paper myself in order to keep him, so I left such a waste!"

The more Wang Zhonglei thought about it, the angrier he became. Feng Xiaogang shouldn't be bold, he is more courageous than the sky, but he just refuses to honestly make comedy films, war, earthquake, disaster films, whatever unpopular things he does.

Teng Huatao, who should try boldly, was so shocked that he didn't dare to make a movie.

Every major company has its own difficulties. "Berna" invested 1.5 million in "Great Shanghai", and the box office is estimated to be less than [-] million.

This is all invested by Berner himself. Even if the distribution income is included, the loss will be 4000 million.

The less than 1000 million earned by "The Great Magician" is not enough to pay.

The same is true for Guang Xian, "Four Famous Catchers" made a small profit, and all the compensation went to "Tongque Terrace".

The money-losing films of the two major companies are all starring Zhou Runfa, and the title of box office poison will never be taken off.

Back then, "The True Colors of a Hero" turned box office poison into fairy hair. Now, where can I find such a movie!

Pony went on the market after the summer vacation, but "The Golden Heist" was not as good as expected, and life was not easy. Ning Hao planned to find other people to invest in and distribute the new films.

On the contrary, "The Wind Listener" invested by Huace was a big success at the box office, and the TV drama business also developed very well.
The biggest winner in 2012 is probably Hantang Media. All the movies released within a year have exploded at the box office, and the TV drama business is also good. In terms of variety shows, two episodes have already started recording.

On this day, Tang An was also in a meeting to take stock of last year.

The atmosphere of the meeting is different from that of all companies, and the meeting room is full of joy.

The business of each department is very good. In a bumper year, bonuses and dividends will naturally not be less.

Tang An finally came late, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and started the group directly.

First report the results of the second half of the year.

In terms of movies, the box office of "The Stolen Five Years" was 3.4 million. The company invested 70%, plus the 2500 million publicity costs paid, the mainland box office can recover a total of 8600 million, and the profit is 5100 million.

With 1800 million yuan in Baodao, almost 350 million yuan can be allocated.

Adding in other pre-roll ads, TV, online copyrights, etc., Lin Lin can always get 300 million.

The box office of "Quick Book: Happy Home" is 1.5 million. This bad film requires 12 points of distribution share, plus 1500 publicity and distribution costs, and can recover 3300 million.

As for "Longling Miku", it has not yet reached the time of settlement, but the box office is still fixed at 12.6 billion.

The distribution share is 1.26 million, the production income minus the 8000 million publicity fee, Wu Ershan's 5% share, Wu Ershan's 30%, and 2.23 million in revenue.

The total income is 4.29 million, and the pre-roll ads and other copyrights have sold a total of more than 2000 million points, and 1500 million can be allocated.

There are also a lot of overseas box offices. The global market sold 6000 million US dollars, and the share was nearly 1700 million US dollars. The various copyrights were 600 million US dollars, a total of 1.5 million yuan, and the company took 1.05 million.

The income of 5.34 million, in addition to 1.4 million production costs and 8000 million publicity, made a profit of 3.14 million.

There are only two movies, and TV dramas have earned another 1.6 million in the past few months.

In terms of variety shows, Dongfang Fengxing's original business is mainly invested in new variety shows.

8.2 million in cash, first let the finance company repay the loans of "Longling Miku", "Hong Kong囧", and several TV dramas first, and the rest plus the original funds on the company's books, there are still 5.5 million, you can live a good life years.

After discussing the time and place of the annual meeting and doing some activities, the meeting ended.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang An came to the Beijing Performing Arts Center to participate in the 2012 Economic Figure Awards Ceremony.

To this point, various activities outside the entertainment industry are always inevitable.

But Tang An is here to make soy sauce, and the company's size is only more than 100 billion.

In terms of social influence, it's not that big.

Quietly be a melon-eating crowd below, and chat with people who know and don't know next to them from time to time.

This year's selection of people is "taking industry as the mission"

opening words:
Electric lights illuminate our lives - Edison lit the world's first electric light with electricity.

The steam engine freed our hands - James Watt Industries changed lives.

Then there are many more: industry is the foundation of the national development economy, the mainstay of the national economy, industry is the foundation of the economy, and industry creates the future.
After talking about a lot of industries, seven industrialists won awards in the end.

Song Ziping, chairman of Huaguo Building Materials Group, the world's largest construction company.

Hu Wenming, chairman of Huaguo Shipbuilding Industry Group, the largest shipbuilding company in Huaguo and the second largest in the world.

Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, a traditional retailer and real estate giant.

Of course, Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba's board of directors, is indispensable. This man was regarded as a liar at first, then a madman later, and a madman today.

The man who borrowed money from employees to pay employees has now become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country.

Both the richest king and the richest horse appeared, and of course Rebs, who will suppress the four kings in the future, is also indispensable.

Lei Jun won the 2012 Annual Economic Emerging Award. Although Xiaomi was established for a short time, it sold 2 million units in 700 years, with annual sales exceeding 1 billion yuan. Apple has a version every year, Google has a version in the first quarter, and Xiaomi has a new version every week. The award is well deserved.

After the awards were awarded one by one, the organizer CCTV also held a dinner to entertain all the bigwigs.

The dinner party is a place to walk around and build relationships, and Tang An also met a lot of people.

Chatted with Rebs for a while, after all, he is also one of Xiaomi's shareholders.

The banquet lasted until 09:30 in the evening. Tang An had obtained a bunch of personal business cards and was invited to join several clubs.

Just as he was leaving, Ma Yun hugged him.

"Tang Dong, I haven't seen you for a few years, do you have time to chat?"

Tang An was a little surprised, but still nodded and smiled, "Mr. Ma invites me, of course I'm free."

In the first direct contact with Ma Yun, Tang An also wanted to see what he wanted to do.
