Chapter 640 The fangs of the big dog! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
"There are too many things to talk about, and Mr. Zhang doesn't know much about movies, right? If you talk too much, you will become more confused."

Tang An said this with a slight smile. Although there was no irony on the surface, the meaning was obvious.

This sentence is ironic without turning, and the people present are not stupid, so no one can't understand it.

Zhang Wei originally wanted to embarrass Zhang Qiang, but she didn't expect Tang An to block her back with a single sentence, and she couldn't refute.

Fan Luyuan's face was also a little ugly. He was the one who said politely that he was an outsider and needed to ask Tang An for advice.

Now Tang An used his words to block Zhang Wei, meaning that you are all laymen, and I have nothing to say to you.

Tang An didn't hold on to it either. After achieving his goal, he didn't seem to welcome him very much, so he left first.

"Director Fan, I have an event tonight, so I won't bother you any more, we'll meet again next time."

Leaving the grand banquet hall straight away, leaving everyone with stunned faces behind.

"Hehe, this Tang Dong looks a bit like he's here to mess things up, he choked and left."

On the side, Wang Changtian shook his wine glass slightly, looked at Fan Luyuan and said.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "Don't look at Tang Dong as young, but he can speak impeccably, and he can carry a gun with a stick. Zhang Wei is also the vice president in charge of business negotiations in Ahli, so he just has nothing to say."

"Mr. Cai and Mr. Ma personally negotiated the important acquisitions of Ah Li. Most of the other acquisitions are just the general trend, and this Mr. Zhang's major is financial analysis," Wang Zhongjun said with a light smile.

What kind of business negotiation is it? It's just doing asset evaluation, analysis, and bargaining.

Wang Zhongjun even felt that in order to expand distribution channels, the bosses of their film and television company ran from one cinema to another across the country, and most of the cinema managers they met at the wine table were much easier to deal with than Zhang Wei.

The original distribution channel was really created by one movie theater after another on the wine table. From local bullies to relatives of high-ranking officials, there are all kinds of people of all kinds, and those talents are really difficult to deal with.

A year ago, when Ahli, Fujixun, and Baidu entered the film and television industry strongly, Wang Zhongjun was frightened for a while. Facing these three giants, he even worried that the major film companies would not be able to last for a few years like other industries. have to be acquired.

Now it seems that they are all laymen.

Ah Limaimaimai, Youku, Wenhua Zhonghua and NC alone have spent tens of billions, but they are useless at all, and they have made no achievements on the big and small screens.

Baidu Aiqiyi's online movies are doing very well, second only to Tudou, compared with Youku and Tengxun Video.

However, online movies are something that cannot be put on the stage after all, so it is not a cause for concern.

Fujixun Films is also not doing business properly. At the beginning, it competed with the Han and Tang Dynasties for the online literature market, trying to do all-round IP development with online novels as the core.

As a result, the founding Chinese still could not shake the status of Singularity. After more than a year of fast reading, a huge team of authors was quickly pulled together, and there were more and more books, and some web dramas, animations, and games were adapted. That's all.

The two Internet giants are not doing their jobs properly, and it is useless to spend their money in vain.

After going around in a circle, Wang Zhongjun discovered that the film and television industry is still their private land.

Wang Zhongjun rushed to Yu Dong and the others with a smile, "Everyone think, will the personnel adjustment of Li Film Industry have any effect?"

"No matter how you adjust it, Ah Li's size is there. I really want to do something. Nothing can stop them."

Compared to Wang Zhongjun, others were not so optimistic.

Wang Changtian said, "A rough estimate is that nearly half of the 80 billion box office in the summer season comes from online ticket purchases. Nuomi Movies, Tao Piao Piao, Maoyan, and Wei Piao Piao invested a total of more than 5 million in supplementary tickets. If ah Regardless of the cost, I estimate that a movie with a box office of one billion can be piled up by collecting tickets."

Pile up a movie with a box office of one billion?

Wang Zhongjun was noncommittal and just wanted to refute.

However, it is not impossible to think of the preferential strength of online ticket purchases.

One billion box office, counting as an ordinary 2D movie, it will sell almost 3000 million tickets.

With so many people across the country, it is not impossible to sell.

Ah Li, if you are determined to do this, let alone 9.9 yuan, movie tickets of 6.9 yuan and 5.9 yuan are not impossible.

Ten yuan is reluctant, but six or seven yuan is different. Most audiences will not be stingy, as long as the movie is not too bad.

Really, as long as Ah Li is willing to put down the capital, it is really not difficult to pile up a movie with a box office of one billion.

"This online ticketing platform is also equivalent to the theater terminals on the ground. Now online ticketing accounts for half of the proportion. Who knows if it will account for 80% or 90% in a few years."

Wang Changtian's words made several bosses frown. Although the ticket subsidies of several platforms are beneficial to them now, it is foreseeable that as long as the market is divided up, they will probably have to pay the tickets themselves.

It's just that they can't interfere. This is driven by the development of the Internet. Everything is convenient on the Internet. It is impossible to go backwards, and there is no good way.

Several bosses were chatting there, while Fan Luyuan and Zhang Wei could only watch Tang An leave.

"boss Zhang."

Fan Luyuan opened his mouth to appease Zhang Qiang, but Zhang Qiang interrupted him.

"Director Fan, the resignation letter will be sent to your mailbox tomorrow. The handover of the company is basically over. I will finish the finishing work before I leave. I wish you can lead Li Films to do better."

After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he nodded slightly and left regardless of their reactions.

Originally, I thought about finishing things in a while and leaving peacefully, but now it seems that...
The comforting words Fan Luyuan wanted to say just now were held back in his mouth.

He swallowed it back, and watched Zhang Qiang leave uncertainly.

In front of everyone, Zhang Qiang didn't give him any face, and Fan Luyuan couldn't persuade him to stay, not to mention Zhang Wei made it clear that he was targeting Zhang Qiang.

It was a good banquet, first Tang An left the venue, and then the co-president of raccoon film industry put forward his resignation in public and also left the venue.

Everyone didn't react, why did Zhang Qiang resign when he said he would resign.

But after thinking about it, it became obvious what Tang An and Zhang Qiang were talking about when they left.

"It's too direct, you don't show any affection at all." Wang Changtian looked at this scene in amazement.

Everyone was speechless, everyone present could say this, but Wang Changtian was not qualified.

On the eve of Guangxian Media's IPO, Wang Changtian kicked Zhang Zhao away, the CEO of Guangxian Pictures, which was far more heartless than it is now.

Not only outsiders were watching the joke, but the other seven companies of the Big Entertainment Group were also laughing secretly.

A good banquet, just like this changed.

The banquet ended hastily, and it was not in vain to come all the way to witness a "farce".

As the host, Yu Yongfu sent off the bosses one by one, while Fan Luyuan, Zhang Wei, Deng Kangming, COO of Ahli Films and others came to a conference room in the hotel.

Looking at these future subordinates of him, Fan Lu's vitality did not go anywhere.

When I was in Alipay before, in order to win the battle of fast payment with the bank, everyone, including the customer service department who was complained by customers for Alipay payment countless times every day, coupled with the pressure from Ma Yun above, how could they have the energy to do anything? internal struggle.

But now is not the time to blame anyone, there are no objections.

More than half of 2013 has passed, and the next six months can be said to be preparations for next year's work.

The company's financial report in the first half of the year was not bad. After all, "To Youth" is a big dark horse, which is enough to fill the shortfall of "Tomb Raider Notes", and there are many more.

Fan Luyuan went straight to the point, "From today onwards, I will officially join the Fox Film Industry. I ask everyone to confirm at least two projects in the shortest possible time, whether it is production or distribution!"

"Dr. Fan, apart from a few films from Hantang Media, next year's heavyweight films should be "Havoc in Heaven", "The Wind and Cloud in Macau", "Dear", and "One Step Away" that have not yet signed a distribution contract. , "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", these two films, Jiang Wen and Tsui Hark, have not yet started filming.

"Havoc in Heaven" was released by Xinghao himself, "Macao Wind and Cloud" was partly funded by Berner, and the distribution in the mainland is probably done by Berner himself, "Dear" has investment from Guangxian and Xingmei, "One Step Away" is Jiang Wen Yihu, Wanda participated in the investment, "Return" was invested by Lay's, "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" Bernard and Wanda invested, and Youku also participated. "

Zhang Wei also made preparations, and quickly reported the movies that were expected to be big hits next year, and then said.

"Currently, the investors of these films have strong publicity and distribution capabilities. Unless they offer a high guarantee, they will definitely not be able to win the distribution rights."

Fan Luyuan nodded, Zhang Wei had done a lot of work anyway.

These films all have the potential to sell well.

"Havoc in Heaven" stars three superstars, with a huge investment, special effects worth looking forward to, and a wide audience of themes.

"Omen" is said to be a gambling film, Zhou Runfa is good at the subject matter, and after "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhou Runfa can be considered as a box office poison.

"One Step Away" has Jiang Wen as a guarantee.

The combination of Zhang Yimou + Gong Li in "Return" is definitely another classic.

Although it is said to be a love biography movie with an unpleasant subject matter, Zhang Yimou is still a top domestic director. War movies like "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" can sell nearly [-] million at the box office, and "Return" will not be bad.

"Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" is directed by Xu Ke, and the subject matter has not been proven, but the success of "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" are enough to reassure.

"Dear" is an unpopular theme again, and these big directors are now popular with niche themes.

Although Chen Kexin is slightly inferior to the above-mentioned ones in terms of business, he is still a first-line director. Zhao Wei has just become popular with "To Youth", and the prospect of this "Dear" is also very promising.

Fan Luyuan didn't care that the investors of these films had the ability to distribute them. He waved his hand, glanced at everyone, and said loudly.

"Mr. Zhang, everyone, although we, Li Film Industry, lack experience, and we are not as good as other companies in terms of contacts, channels, and resources in film and television, but we have our advantages!"

"The high guarantee fee is not a problem. We must give full play to our advantages. All departments will immediately conduct a detailed and comprehensive evaluation survey on the above-mentioned several films. I want to see them within three days!"

Of course, everyone understood what advantage Fan Luyuan was talking about.

money!
This is Ahli's biggest advantage. Even if the producers of these films have distribution capabilities, they are not invested by one company after all.

As long as you propose a price high enough that the other party cannot match it, or a price that you dare not bet on, you will naturally get the distribution right!

"Hantang Media snatched "Heart Blossom Road" from China Film and Beijing Culture with a guarantee of [-] million. If it were placed now, we should have paid [-] billion or even one billion!"

When Fan Luyuan was in Alipay, he dared to unilaterally connect to the quick payment interface when the bank did not agree to the quick payment.

Besides, the success or failure of one or two projects is not important, what the raccoon lacks has never been money!

Ah Li Films is not just a film company, Fan Luyuan has talked with Ma Yun, Zhang Yong and other high-level executives many times.

All the companies under Ahli are not separate entities, their own profits and losses are insignificant, the most important thing is their contribution to the whole.

Even if Li Films and Tao Piao Piao lost hundreds of millions of dollars a year, they can recover it in other ways through various channels!

The one-billion guarantee was announced, and Zhang Wei and others became more confident.

As long as they have enough funds, they are sure to win the distribution rights of at least one or two films!

Not bad money!
Big dog, raccoon, showed its fangs to the entertainment circle for the first time, the kind that is unreasonable!
