Chapter 655 Equal Status!
Time passed by, and the National Day file started, but it had nothing to do with Han Tang Media, and it had nothing to do with Tang An.

It’s just that Nuomi Films is about to usher in another battle, a market battle with ticketing platforms such as Maoyan, Tao Piao Piao, and Weipiaoer.

The four major platforms, together with small and medium-sized ticketing websites such as Guevara, are expected to invest nearly 1.5 million yuan in the National Day file.

The battle of ticket compensation is all about spending money and publicity, fighting for hard power, money and offline and online channels.

At present, with the massive investment of the four major platforms, other established ticket-buying websites have basically fallen behind.

The box office of "Interstellar" around the world has also been settled, plus half of the domestic follow-up settlement, and some other income, once again accounted for 8.7 million yuan.

Originally there was still 27 billion yuan in the account, plus the 8.7 million yuan, a total of 35.7 billion yuan.

However, the two new films were about to be approved, and Tang An repaid the bank loan of 23 billion, leaving a loan of 10 billion.

In addition, through Zhang Qiang's matchmaking, Tang An acquired the old film and television company Forbidden City Films.

Behind the Forbidden City Films are Jingcheng TV Station and Jingcheng Dianguang Media, and the two parties have begun to cooperate.

Among them, the publicity and distribution business was spun off and merged into Hantang Film Group.

As for the film and television production business, it will be retained and the Forbidden City Media will be established.

Forbidden City Films has basically not produced or released any film and television dramas in the past few years, and the price is still 12 billion. Nowadays, all film and television companies have inflated prices.

Tang An spent 7.87 million in cash to keep the film and television production business, and the other [-] million publicity and distribution business was merged into Hantang Film Group. Jingcheng TV Station and Jingcheng TV Media own [-]% of the shares of Hantang Film Group.

Hantang Film Group, which has been merged into Nuomi Films, and has withdrawn a large number of manpower and business from Hantang Media, is now valued at 89 billion.

It is not much less than the market value of Guangxian when it was listed, and it is even higher than Bernard's market value today.

There is no way, the prospects for the film and television industry are bright now. A few days ago, Huayi announced the establishment of Kyushu Publishing and the acquisition of a game company. The market value has soared to 240 billion.

After the release of "Di Renjie: Dragon King", Huayi will buy Zhang Guoli's Guoli Changsheng at a premium, and the market value will skyrocket to 360 billion yuan, or even higher, just like in history.

In two years at most, it will reach an unprecedented 800 billion!
More and more capital is pouring into the film and television industry.

Sometimes money is just a bunch of numbers.

In the blink of an eye, there will be less than 8 million left, but those two projects can borrow a large amount of money at any time, and there is no shortage of money now.

Nuomi Films competed wildly with Fujixun, Ah Li, and Meituan for the market, and "Dragon King of the Gods" was a big hit in the National Day file, earning 6000 million box office on the first day.

Tang An didn't care about these things, and Tang An didn't care about the film and television dramas under his banner, it didn't matter if he made money or lost money.

Losing a few films was just a drop in the bucket for such a large group, and had no impact at all. Tang An didn't pay attention to every film at all.

The script of "OPERATION RED SEA" is still under review, and even if there are more than ten departments, it is not that simple, after all, there are too many things involved.

The script of "Mysterious Superstar" has also sorted out a complete plot, and even the location team was sent to the counties and cities around the capital to find a suitable location for the location.

The actor is not in a hurry, but the heroine has to be decided first, and he has to receive a month or two of professional training.

Actors have to audition. Tang An has asked people to collect information on actresses of the age group across the country, and picked out a dozen auditions.

Playing a girl in her teens, unlike other characters, after Tang An finalized the main plot and character design, he could immediately find seven or eight suitable candidates in his mind.

It's not a very biased role. It's so easy to find suitable actors. As long as you know the general situation of these actors in the circle, you can find them even with your eyes closed.

Although Tang An knew most of the actors well, and even knew the characteristics of many young actors afterward.

But for this age group, it is not that simple to be able to support a commercial movie and to be able to play with a few powerful actors.

Unlike the pure, charming, long-legged and fierce actors, these actors are so easy to find, and there are a lot of them.

It was a rare time for a relatively large-scale audition. Tang An hadn't auditioned for a long time.

But there is one more important thing right now. Tang An and Zhang Qiang received directors Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan in the conference room at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Before the end of 09, Tang An set up a studio for Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan, and now there are still two years left.

Given the circumstances of the two of them back then, the contract was still very generous.

But now, Xu Zheng's personal box office is more than 20 billion, and the box office of "Master of Hypnotism" without relying on the "囧" series is also very good.

Wu Ershan even has two 10 billion box office movies in hand, and his personal box office is nearly 30 billion.

Any of them, placed in other companies, is eligible to become a facade.

At least the three major companies, Ahli, Fujixun, and Wanda, have contacted them more than once.

Although it can still be squeezed for two years, Tang An doesn't mind letting them earn a little more for those who are capable.

The film and television production business of Forbidden City Films was spun off and Forbidden City Media was established just for the two of them.

Ning Hao is also willing to buy 10% of the shares for each person.

Although he left LeTV and set up Bad Monkey Pictures, Ning Hao's films still have to accept investment from big companies.

There are only a few big companies, and Ning Hao must also recognize the boss. In comparison, Hantang Media is quite good in terms of strength and treatment.

Cooperating as shareholders instead of contracting directors, Tang An gave them an equal status.

No one wants to be inferior to others. Feng Xiaogang doesn't want to stay in Huayi even when he is old, let alone the younger ones.

In the future, the films made by the three of them will be co-produced by Forbidden City Media and their own company, and Zhang Qiang will also serve as the general manager of Forbidden City Media.

It has been negotiated before, and the contract will be signed soon.

Starting today, Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan are no longer contracted directors of Hantang Media, but shareholders of Forbidden City Media.

Although there is a huge gap between them and Tang An in status, at least from the current status, they are at the same level.

Wu Ershan didn't have any special feelings, he just made more money.

It was already free enough, there was no interference in what kind of movie to make, and even now it took more than one billion to shoot a project with a cycle of at least three or four years, Tang An supported him.

But Xu Zheng was a little excited, the studio was logged out, and he was finally free.

Of all the directors in the country, at least he is the one with the most freedom.

Although not a shareholder of Hantang Media, Forbidden City Media will not only participate in the production of the three films, but also absorb other directors. Depending on the director's identity, status, and ability, he may give some shares or sign a contract.

Although there is only 10% of the shares, this is not only the income from the films he made, but also the films of Ning Hao and Wu Ershan. In the future, more and more directors' films can share the benefits.

What's more, his own movies, his own Zhenledao Film and Television can account for 30% of the share, which is completely his own.

This treatment is much higher than that of Feng Xiaogang of Huayi and Zhang Yimou of Leshi.

For the money, Feng Xiaogang had to sign a one-billion betting contract with Huayi. Once he lost, he would have to work for Huayi again.

From actor to director to capital, Xu Zheng only took a few years to stand at the top of the food chain in the film and television industry.

Tang An didn't care what they thought, and gave them enough benefits, not because he was generous, but because they deserved it.

The big head is still here with Tang An, not to mention that neither Zhen Le Dao nor Bad Monkey has the ability to publish.

The publicity and distribution business of Forbidden City Media was also spun off and merged into Hantang Film Group.

Only those who have mastered the publicity and distribution have the greatest right to speak, and it is impossible to open this opening to the outside world.

Just like when Western countries imposed a technological blockade on China, the key thing is not to give it to you.

Not only does he not know how to drive, it is impossible for any big company to drive.

Holding the announcement means getting most of the profits.

After signing the contract, drink tea and chat.

Tang An said with a smile, "Director Ning, how is the preparation for "Beautiful Heart" going? If you need help during the production process, just let me know."

Ning Hao said, "It's ready, and it will start up in half a month."

Tang Andao, "The three iron triangles of you are currently the strongest combination in the field of domestic comedy. I'm looking forward to the results of next year's National Day."

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Dong Tang, you are being polite. You are going to make a comedy movie, so let's release it first. By then, our "Heart Blossoming on the Road" will be bleak."

Tang An waved his hands and said, "This is the first time for me to try comedy themes. I'm not as good as you in this aspect. Besides, "Mystery Superstar" is more like an inspirational movie."

Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were only polite. In terms of other things, they are naturally not as good as they are, but in terms of comedy, except for Zhou Xingchi and Feng Xiaogang, there is really no one in China who they look up to.

After chatting for a while, Wu Ershan took out the script of the "Legend of the Gods" trilogy, and we discussed it together.

After nearly a year, with three screenwriters and their respective screenwriting teams, the first version of the script of this masterpiece of the gods has finally been completed.

Ning Hao and Xu Zheng also knew that Wu Ershan was planning to play a big game, so they took the script with curiosity.
