Chapter 835 Eight major companies join forces
After resting at the hotel for one night, Tang An came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange next door early the next morning.

The ceremony site was ready at 8:8, and officially started at 40:[-], and all guests were seated.

As the first company in the theater chain, backed by Wanda, it may become the first film and television company with a market value of [-] billion. The ceremony was also lively and lively, and there was a song performance.

At 9 minutes after 5:[-], the host came on stage, introduced the guests present, and then Jiang Defu came to the stage to deliver a speech.

Then Deputy Secretary Dang Wei of the Shanghai Stock Exchange gave a speech, Lao Wang signed a listing agreement with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the two sides exchanged gifts.

A series of procedures are carried out in sequence, and it is only a few minutes before the gong is launched.

Tang An and the bosses of several big giants were sitting in the audience, waiting for the smooth listing of the first share of the theater chain.

Tang An glanced at the neat giants next to him, turned his head slightly, and smiled at the two brothers Wang Zhongjun next to him, "Why do Wang and Dong have time to come this time, is the company all right?"

"It happens to be free, so I'll come over."

Wang Zhongjun said with a chuckle, "And the market value of Wanda Films may surpass Huayi, so I'm also nervous."

Tang An smiled, "Wang Dong doesn't have to worry too much. Judging from the issue price, even if the daily limit does not reach the market value of 800 billion, it depends on the future situation."

The most valuable thing about Wanda Movies is the theater chain, all of which are directly operated theaters, with first-class facilities and equipment, super popular, high ticket prices, and low venue rents. They are unicorns that Wanda has raised with trillions of dollars in real estate.

Wanda Films has only been established for a short time, and in the past one or two years, there have been films that can be produced, and it is still relying on the brand of Wanda.

But even so, unless the stockholders are crazy, there is basically no hope for the current market value of [-] billion.

Wang Zhonglei, who was a distance away, interjected, "It's a pity that the theater chain owned by Director Tang didn't go public until the end of the year. If it had been a year earlier, the first share of this theater chain would have been owned by Hantang Cinema Line."

Tang An shook his head, "How can there be so many ifs? If you want to say ifs, Jinyi Pearl River should have been the first stock in the theater two months ago."

"Yes, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Wang Zhonglei nodded and smiled inexplicably.

Jinyi Pearl River was going to be listed in June, but at the last moment of the review, it was put on the list by a certain department of a certain city.

In the previous prospectus of Jinyi Pearl River, it was shown that in 2011, a certain department in a certain city in Jiang was the fifth largest group ticket customer of Jinyi Pearl River Cinemas, with an annual consumption of 96 yuan.

Nothing happened as soon as the prospectus came out, but at the end of last year, it was reported by the media only a few days before the listing was about to be approved.

At that time, there were 75 employees in a certain local department, which means that the average person spent more than 1 yuan a year to watch movies.

Netizens like to watch this kind of thing the most. For a while, that part of the local area became the "XXX who likes to watch movies most" among netizens.

Immediately afterwards, they of course declared that the amount was wrong, and sent a lawyer's letter to Jinyi Zhujiang, asking for clarification and an apology.

Jinyi Zhujiang also issued a statement, saying that all units including their departments and related department systems consume throughout the year.

Of course the other side doesn't admit it, and they watched nearly a million movies a year, so what do the masses think, and what do the higher-ups think?
So I disclosed the situation of film consumption in the past 11 years, organized a total of four educational and popular science films, with a total cost of 3000 yuan.

Jinyi Zhujiang also could not provide relevant contracts and receipts to prove it.

So on the same day, the listing of Jinyi Zhujiang was cancelled, while Wanda Films was officially approved.

Jinyi Pearl River wanted to compete for time and go public before Wanda, but it did not expect such an announcement.

The box office data of more than 90 yuan is a drop in the bucket for the top ten theaters in China. If this amount is less, it will have no effect at all. Once it is meaningless, it is reasonable to say that there is no need for cost.

As for whether a certain department and Jinyi Zhujiang did not follow the procedures and took the account through other means, only the two of them would know.

If it is said that this account has gone through other channels, that is also true. After all, nearly one million movie viewing expenditures a year will inevitably cause rumors to spread.

And 2014 was the time when the anti-corruption efforts were the strongest, and everyone was in danger.

What happened in the end may only be known by both parties, but it is a fact that Jinyi Zhujiang's listing was stranded.

You still have to be careful when dealing with the government, try to be as formal as possible, and do less tricks in private, or you won't be able to reason if you are sold out.

At 9:35, the gong sounded on time, announcing the official launch of Wanda Films.

The last stock exchange in China is a little different. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange is ringing the bell, but the Shanghai Stock Exchange is indeed ringing the gong.

Just like when Huayi went public, countless stockholders and investors stood in front of their computers, and the stocks were looted as soon as the market opened.

With Wanda's brand name, a successful IPO is inevitable.

Just like ordinary people buying houses, even if the houses of big developers are slightly more expensive, they will grab them, and some houses of unknown small developers should be sold slowly.

No, the stock price rose steadily as soon as it was listed, and was sealed on the daily limit board with a 43.98% increase in a short time. The market value was as high as 710 billion, second only to Huayi, which was in the early 800 billion.

As soon as it goes public, the daily limit will be raised. If there are four consecutive daily limit in the next four days, it will break the [-] billion mark.

How crazy!

Originally, Tang An thought that he would have to wait at least another half an hour, but he didn't expect the price limit to rise as soon as it was listed. According to this trend, it might directly exceed [-] billion after four daily limit.

But think about the stock market is like this, someone named the top ten domestic stocks last year, distributed in ten industries, each stock can be scary.

Huayi is one of the magic stocks. From the market value of tens of billions to the present, it is higher than the combination of Lions and DreamWorks.

There is also Boss Jia’s Lay’s. At present, the market value of Youku and Tudou is only close to 40 billion U.S. dollars, but Coke’s has already broken through the [-] billion U.S. dollar mark by relying on smartphones, super TVs, and super cars.

Lay’s mobile phones are not selling very well, TVs are selling very well, and cars have not yet been developed.

Can you achieve a market value of tens of billions of dollars by selling TVs?
It's not that Boss Jia opened his mouth, only you can brag and fool, and the money is just a bunch of numbers.

Wanda is also bragging. It has repeatedly leaked rumors that it is negotiating with the lions about acquisitions, and that it will take a stake in MGM. It also threatened to control 20% of the global theater market.

To acquire a Hollywood giant and a leading second-tier studio, and also control 20% of the world's theaters.

20% of the world's theaters, what is that concept?
God!

Anyway, bragging doesn't pay taxes, and investors don't need to believe it.

After attending the listing ceremony, there was another banquet. This time, many local big companies in Shanghai came.

At the banquet, Tang An had a side-by-side chat with Yu Dong and Wang Changtian. This time, several of their giants, China Film, and Leshi, the boss of the second-tier film and television company, all gathered together, and even the second-in-command came. It was by no means a coincidence.

"It seems that there is something wrong."

After the banquet, Tang An sighed slightly on the way to Han and Tang Literature in Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park.

Yang Mi, who was staring at the tablet and watching the stock market next to him, was a little puzzled, "Ah, what's wrong, Brother An, what happened?"

Tang An smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, you bought Wanda stock?"

"Yeah, I've had someone snatch it up and pay attention to Wanda's situation."

Yang Mi said a little excitedly, "Brother An, the stock market can make more money than making movies and TV shows. On the first day, it hit the daily limit, an increase of nearly 44%. It's tens of billions a day."

Starting a small company, after working hard for several years, it was hard to achieve a valuation of 30 billion, and when it went public, it skyrocketed to tens of billions, which is really incomparable.

Tang Andao, "This barbaric growth won't last long. When the market gets bigger and bigger, the higher authorities will definitely introduce a series of policies to guide the development of the industry."

The country has been doing this for so many years.

At the beginning, in order to let a certain industry develop as much as possible, there are no restrictions, and when the industry is initially mature, it will start to be regulated.

In the next year, the road to capital securitization of film and television companies will start to be bumpy. Tang De’s acquisition of Amyshen, Baofeng Technology’s acquisition of Straw Bear Pictures all ended in failure, and Zhao Wei’s leveraged acquisition of Wanjia Culture was called off.
The way to make hot money through the capital operation of film and television projects was completely blocked, and capital began to flee.

Although a good film and television project can still make money, for many capitals, the income of the project itself is far from enough, not to mention the risks.

What they need is to use a project, or even a star, to obtain greater benefits through capital operations.

It can be said that the current Internet capital has much more appetite than the original coal boss.

Although people in the industry have made a lot of money, it will be detrimental to the entire industry in the long run, and the state has begun to intervene.

After controlling the capital, it is time to start controlling the content. The policy is getting tighter and tighter, strictly controlling the cultivation of idols and parent-child variety shows, and regulating and planning the total amount, themes and origins of imported overseas audio-visual programs.

There are also restrictions on artists' salaries, accountability for tax evasion, stricter management of online audio-visual programs, unified standards for video websites and TV stations, and a ruler for online and offline.

Various factors contributed to the subsequent cold winter in the industry.

Generally speaking, it is still good, and it does not have much influence on the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Tang An came to Hantang Literature and had a meeting with the management. The main thing was the listing next year, and there was nothing too fussy about the company itself.

While Tang An was having a meeting on Han and Tang Literature, Jiang Defu, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Fan Luyuan, Ren Yuse, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Ping were also in the meeting room in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

After half a month of tandem, China Film, Huayi, Bernard, Guangxian, Wanda, Ah Li, Fujixun, and Lay’s eight major companies have reached an agreement, and the general cooperation has also been discussed.

As the initiator himself, Fan Luyuan should lead this cooperation, but in the film and television industry, Li Film Industry is not yet qualified.

Due to China Film Group's status, Hua Yi was originally suitable to lead.

However, Wanda Movies is now on the market, and it is certain that the market value will surpass Huayi in a day or two. In addition, Wanda Movies is behind the entire Wanda, which is enough.

The cooperation plan has been determined through many consultations before, and this time the contract will be signed directly.

Involving eight major companies, more than ten heavyweight film projects in the next two years.

For every major project, there are four or five companies cross-cooperating to maximize the sharing of resources between each other.

The eight major companies control more than half of the domestic theaters, nearly 60% of online ticket purchases, the strongest publicity and marketing resources, and the best production team. If there is no Han and Tang Dynasty, these eight major companies can fully represent the entire movie industry.

After signing investment, transfer, distribution, and marketing contracts one by one, all the talents breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The Han and Tang Dynasties were strong enough, so strong that their seven major companies joined forces and put aside their past grievances for the time being.

Even Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao were sitting together talking and laughing happily, and Han Sanping's old subordinates Jiang Defu and Kang Pei were able to join forces, even though it was Kang Pei who pushed him to leave the China Film Marketing Company.

No one was not excited. Tang An refused Zhang Zhao's cooperation. Zhang Zhao now eagerly wanted to see the scene of Tang An's defeat and the weakening of Han and Tang in the face of their encirclement and suppression. .

Wang Zhongjun also waited for six years. In 09, Tang An took away a top producer, a big manager, and a popular first-line movie star from Huayi.

Two of the three most important people in the entire Huayi film and television production business left, leaving only one Feng Xiaogang. Since then, except for Feng Xiaogang and Tsui Hark's films, none of them have achieved any decent results, so that he will focus on Put it on top of live entertainment.

It can be said that Tang An succeeded step by step by stepping on Hua Yi's body, but he had nothing to do with him, and every time he met, he would act as if nothing had happened and talk happily.

Wang Zhongjun has absolute confidence in the cooperation of the eight major companies.It can bite off a large piece of meat from Han Tang.

He has even started to think about what kind of attitude he should face Tang An as a successful man.

Fan Luyuan and Wang Zhongjun were similar, but Yu Dong and Wang Changtian didn't have so many ideas. They had no grievances with Tang An, and even had friendship.

It's just that friendship is friendship, business is business, and they don't want to see a film and television company that completely surpasses several major companies appear.

They have been engaged in the film and television industry since the last century, and they are all veterans of this industry. It can be said that the film and television industry is the whole of their career, and they are not willing to accept it.

After signing the contract, their respective interests are tied together, which can basically ensure the firmness of this cooperation.

Otherwise, just say it with empty teeth, that's useless, and someone might lose the chain at that time.

Fan Luyuan put down his pen, looked at his results very satisfied, and said to everyone, "Everyone, then follow our plan. From now on, everyone will work together in the second half of the year and next year, and the National Day will be a month away. The file is ready, this is the first battle, "Charlotte's Annoyance" which Hantang Media participated in the investment and released is released, and our focus is "Unbelievable", "

"Unbelievable" stars Da Peng, who has just won a billion box office, as well as co-stars Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Shenyanglian. With the help of "Pancake Man", success is inevitable.

Although "Charlotte's Annoyance" is a well-known drama, the lead actor Shen Teng became popular because of the Spring Festival Gala, but everyone is very confident.

A drama is a drama, and the Spring Festival Gala is a Spring Festival Gala. Can it be the same as a movie? Otherwise, Zhao Benshan, Liu Qian, and Feng Mercury will be asked to make a movie.

What's more, gathering the resources of several of them will definitely only be stronger than Han and Tang!

A company is not the opponent of Hantang, but the eight major companies have enough high-quality projects and enough resources!

There are only four popular schedules, but only in the popular schedules can the box office be maximized.

However, Han and Tang occupy two or three, or even occupy, the most popular schedules throughout the year, which compresses the living space of other companies, and they can only fight head-to-head.

Otherwise, it will be shown on Qingming Festival and May Day, and drink soup after it.

In the final analysis, the market is still not divided enough. Either it will form a monopoly like Ahli and Fujixun, or it will be a melee like takeaway and shared bicycles. The final winner takes all, or a monopoly.
