Chapter 636 Crazy Entertainment Industry! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
The summer of 2013 is coming to an end, and "Interstellar" is getting closer and closer to the box office of 20 billion.

"Wolf Warrior" was also released for four weeks, and won a super high box office of 25 million in 6.45 days, ranking second in the summer box office.

The box office of "Pacific Rim", which is a big hit in China, reached 6.4 million in one month after its release, and the box office in the mainland alone approached [-] million US dollars.

At the same time, this is also the first A-level major production in the mainland film market whose domestic box office exceeds that of North America!

At a historic moment, a big production with an investment of nearly [-] million, the domestic box office is even higher than the North American box office!

"Pacific Rim", which was originally a disastrous box office failure in North America, has become a profitable film because of the domestic box office explosion. It can be said that the domestic market saved this A-level production!

"Iron Man 3" broke [-] million, and "Pacific Rim" broke [-] million. In the domestic market, two Hollywood movies worth [-] million US dollars were born within a year, which is already a market that cannot be ignored for Hollywood filmmakers.

In addition to two films with a box office of 5.69 million, the domestic adventure blockbuster "Tomb Raider Notes" won a box office of [-] million after more than a month of screening.

Thanks to the higher share of the two points, even if the trend of "Tomb Raiders Notes" is not very good, it has maintained a lot of filming.

The higher the share, the less the stolen box office.

The box office of the Hollywood blockbuster "Vegetarian Chicken 6" failed to exceed 3.5 million, while "Superman: Man of Steel" won [-] million at the box office.

There are only a few films that exceed 1.8 million, "Return to Earth" won 1.45 million, and "White House Has Fallen" [-] million.

"One Night Surprise" starring Fan Binbin received 1.51 million box office in three weeks after its release, which is a good result.

Originally, it was 4000 million in the first three days, and 9000 million in a single week in the second week. The trend is so good, I thought that there was another blockbuster, and Fan Binbin's monoclonal antibody ability was about to explode.

As a result, the third week was only 2100 million in a single week, which was immediately discouraged, and the box office was just like that.

During the pre-publicity period, there were all kinds of "reveal of Fan Binbin's large-scale sex scene in "One Night Surprise"", "exposure of a deleted version of the sex scene", and "Fan Binbin's passionate clips".

It worked a little in the first two weeks and attracted a lot of viewers, but it didn't work after that.

It is still useful to rely on passionate dramas to attract audiences. Guangxian is the most slick, and several small and medium-budget movies are supported by female stars selling meat.

There are only a few movies that have exceeded [-] million in the summer, but movies such as "Guild Wars", "Great Ape", "Monsters University" and so on still have the possibility of breaking [-] million.

"Jurassic Park", which was released in 6 days, won [-] million box office in [-] days. It is certain that it will break [-] million. As for how far it can go, it depends on the next trend

The.

This year's summer file has "Interstellar", which has a box office hit of nearly 20 billion. In the three months from June to August, the domestic market broke out a huge box office of more than 80 billion.

80 billion ah, one after another broke the first day, single day, single week, single month box office records in the domestic market, worthy of the name of the most popular schedule.

It's the end of August, and the bustling summer vacation is coming to an end. It's time for major companies to inspect and harvest the fruits.

Tang An lost his jet lag when he returned to China, and returned to work the next day.

In the large conference room of the group, all the senior managers above the branch companies and group directors were present.

"Everyone has worked hard. After a busy summer vacation, all companies have achieved remarkable results. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Let's exchange some pleasantries and get straight to the point, there are a lot of things to do today.

Tang An first looked at Cheng Hai, the distribution director, and asked, "Mr. Cheng, when will the share of "Interstellar" come down?"

Generally speaking, if the share of the film is slow, it can take three or four months to come down. However, Hantang Media is the distributor, and it is a very strong distributor. Now it has been released for one and a half months.

Cheng Hai replied, "As of Sunday, August [-]th, the box office has already been settled, and it is estimated that it will be available in two days."

"Please urge me to send the money as soon as possible."

Before August 17.85th, it seemed to be 8.03 billion. Tang An raised a share of two points, and got 3 million. Adding in the 5000 million subsidy for 8.53D or giant-screen movies with a box office of more than [-] million, it was [-] million.

It cost more than 10 billion to acquire the three companies before, and the overseas copyright income was 3 million. Adding the money in the group account, there is nearly 50 billion in cash.

Overseas box office revenue should be more than 4 million to nearly [-] million

However, there are still 33 billion in loans, how to spend this money in total.

But the primary goal is to acquire Weibo, Tang An looked at Wu Feng.

"Mr. Wu, how is Xinlang going?"

"Chairman, there are still some details left. In general, we bought 14.77% of Weibo's shares for 7 billion, and Ah Li won 12% of the shares and became the second largest shareholder. Then we can expand our shares to up to 15%, Ah Li is 20%."

According to the purchase price, the valuation of Weibo is about 210 billion, which is not as good as a UC.

Weibo was at this price a year ago, and Weibo has taken many detours in the past year or so.

Take 7% of the shares, plus the previous 1%, that is the third largest shareholder, which is much more than the management headed by Cao Guowei, and it is enough.

The specific details will be reported separately later, and each company has made new progress.

The first is the life service platform Nuomi.com. When it was acquired from Renren.com, its valuation was less than one billion yuan. After nearly a year of development, it has invested 1.5 million yuan. Soared to nearly 30 billion yuan.

It looks quite high, but in fact, if there is no deviation, the valuation of Meituan will be as high as US$30 billion when it raises its C round in May next year.

There is also Dianping, whose valuation is now higher than that of Nuomi.com.

As for whether you are hungry, there is no way to compare it now.

But everyone is in the initial stage. Even if Meituan is leading now, no one knows when it will fall behind.

Emerging industries are developing the fastest. As long as there is money, channels and traffic, it is not difficult to catch up from behind.

The three Internet giants have already set their sights on this area. Ah Li has already led the investment in Meituan.

But now that Meituan and Ahli have not broken up, Fujixun naturally has his eyes on Nuomi.com.

The same is true for Baidu, who also fell in love with Nuomi. As for the younger brother, Ele.me, he was disliked.

"Accepting the investment of Fujixun and IDG Capital, the B round of financing is 8000 million US dollars."

Looking at the top domestic VCs on the list, Tang An finally chose IDG Capital and Fujixun instead of Sequoia Capital and Baidu, which seemed more sincere.

8000 million. According to the valuation of 30 billion yuan, nearly 15% of the shares will be sold directly. This amount of financing is already considered very large.

Wu Feng, an investment expert, was a little puzzled, "Chairman, is 8000 million too much? 5000 million for the B round should be enough."

Tang An shook his head, "5000 million is not enough. In addition to takeaway, Nuomi.com has already lagged behind Meituan and Dianping in terms of hotel travel and out-of-home dining."

"In addition, the acquisition of a suitable payment license also requires funds."

"Do the payment yourself? Fujixun will have an opinion."

"Let's get ready first, and I'll talk to Director Ma later." Tang An shook his head and made a decision.

Tang An is not a professional in this area, so follow the path of a successful person.

Nuomi.com was previously supported by Renren.com. If the life service platform hadn’t just developed, it would have been eliminated long ago.

Acceleration is required now, in all directions.

In general, with Tang An around, you can avoid a lot of detours, and catching up with Meituan is not a problem.

Otherwise, when Meituan acquires Dianping, there will be no game.

As for Nuomi.com’s acquisition of Dianping, funding is one aspect. The main reason is that the merger between Meituan and Dianping was facilitated by their common shares, Sequoia Capital, so Tang An did not accept Sequoia Capital’s financing, and found another Big top VC, DG capital.

As for Ele.me, he has never been an opponent. The name Ele.me limits his development, and he can only do takeaway.

Doing its own payment business and extending it to the financial industry is the way of Meituan.

Fujixun is not like Ahli, Ma Huateng will not have any objections, otherwise Meituan would not turn against Ahli because of its own payment business, and Fujixun took over.

The management models of Ahli and Fujixun's companies are different. The companies under Ahli will be integrated into the Ahli system without independence.

Fujixun only cares about the things on the user side, he asks all companies to serve its users together, and just give users a good experience on the service interface.As for the optimization of resources later, it doesn't really care how you play.

In comparison, Jack Ma is more domineering.

Payment is not something you can do if you want to do it. You need a license from the China Banking Regulatory Commission. Meituan did not have a license at the beginning and was reported to the China Banking Regulatory Commission by real names.

The meeting went on quickly, and noon passed.

In addition to the financing from Nuomi.com, the theater chain once again accepted financing from China Resources Real Estate.

The A round of theater chain accepted the financing from CITIC, and gave up 9.1% of the shares. This time, the B round accepted 3 million investment from China Resources, the top ten real estate company in the country, and gave up 9.68% of the shares. The group still has 82.1% of the shares. The theater chain is valued at 31 billion yuan, and already has 180 direct-operated and franchised theaters, a dozen or so more than Wanda.

However, Wanda’s theaters are all luxury theaters, with an average of 8.7 screens per theater, while Hantang Cinemas averages 5.5 screens per theater.

SMI has more than 360 theaters, and an average theater has only 4.7 screens.

China Resources Real Estate is not as good as Wanke, Hengda, and Greenland, but the other party will build a MixC commercial center in every city in the country, and promises to give priority to introducing Hantang cinemas.

There are far more things to deal with than this. The major companies under the group and the management structure of the group itself need to be reorganized.

Finally, the distribution department reported on some future business.

"Chairman, in addition to these few films, "Gardenia Blossoms" directed by He Jiong has reported a minimum guarantee amount of 4.5 million yuan, which is [-] million yuan higher than ours. The investors are still waiting for us. reply, do you want to quote?"

"No, let the 4.5 million yuan be taken by the movie." Tang An shook his head.

Cheng Hai, the distribution director, said, "In addition, due to the shortage of funds, Galloping Horse did not win the distribution rights of "Taiping Wheel", a tripartite cooperation between China Film, Pony, and Lay's, which was taken away by Lay's at a price of 8 million."

Fuck, Xiao Ma escaped a catastrophe. If the guarantee is [-] million, then the investment will be lost. If the publisher loses a lot of money, it will be over.

""Taiping Wheel" is two parts, right? Leshi's [-] million guaranteed two parts?" Tang An asked.

Cheng Hai nodded, "There are two."

Tsk tsk tsk, China Film and Xiao Ma have to thank Leshi this time.

The two parts of "Taiping Wheel" seem to have invested 3 million yuan.

With a guarantee of 8 million, if you can cheat a little money in Southeast Asia, you won't lose too much.

And this money can be obtained a year in advance now, and if you invest in something else in a year, you may earn it back.

The entertainment industry is getting more and more crazy. Bernard's guarantee of [-] million yuan for "The Future" is still reliable, but these two are a bit outrageous.

However, if there is no prophetic advantage, it is also reasonable to say that the 4.5 million guarantee of "Gardenia Blossoms" is a bit inflated, and gambling is not like this.

The two parts of "Taiping Wheel" totaled [-] million. The first part of "Red Cliff" was [-] million. It was five years ago. There is no problem with the two [-] million, not to mention the so-called Titanic of the East!
However, everything has a but.
