Chapter 321: It's Your Own Business (2/5)
Huayi's listing is definitely a big event in the entire entertainment industry!
In those years, the Huang brothers were at the forefront of every step, including financing, artist brokerage...
Complete the distribution section - As early as 03, Huayi realized the importance of film distribution channels, so it began to expand its distribution business.
With the help of capital, the listing was completed...
It became the first listed stock of a domestic film and television company.
No one is unconvinced...
A veritable leader!
Of course, after some capital predators entered the market, Huayi Brothers couldn't play that set...
"Congratulations, bell ringer!"
Huang Zhonglei waved his hand: "Actually... Everybody wants to go public on the NASDAQ!"
"Let's do Chinese film and television, let's not go to the United States to go public!"
Why do you want to go to NASDAQ in the past few years?
Because that batch of returnees is rapidly harvesting a group of China's leading industry enterprises and private enterprises.
These private enterprises encountered capital bottlenecks in 06 and 07 years, and they could not raise money, and the bank houses had to be mortgaged and guaranteed.
There are no financial instruments, and there is no hope of going public - the only investors are the group of people who came back from Wall Street led by Xiong Xiaoge and Shen Nanpeng!
Capital is scarce!
Later, when they got rich, Sequoia Capital and IDG Capital were occupied by the Ali Department and the Tencent Department...
Huang Zhongjun was lucky that he didn't meet Shen Nanpeng, but met Ma Yun!
Otherwise, landing on the NASDAQ is Huayi...
"We're worried now that no one will take over when we go public..."
"Don't worry... If you really don't feel at ease, sell me another 6 million shares!"
He's just talking...
According to the prediction of financial institutions, the reasonable price set by the industry for Hua Yi before listing is 28-30 yuan...
In other words, the market value predicted from the beginning was more than 3 billion!
By analogy, it's equivalent to 15 Emperors...
The listing is definitely a success!
Huang Zhonglei wittily changed the topic: "..."Moving Maze 2" has exploded again at the North American box office, and the money you make from this film has caught up with the income of our Huayi for several years!"
Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "I just followed to drink the soup, and the big head was made by Fox!"
Huang Zhonglei smiled and did not continue the topic...
"Moving Maze 2", released on the 12th, grossed $42 million in the first weekend, and the word-of-mouth continued the first part, with an estimated total box office of at least 120 million...
With an investment of $45 million, the sequel is sure to make a lot of money!
Of course, for a whole month, the attention of the North American film and television industry was occupied by "Twilight 2: New Moon"...
Released on September 18, it cost $50 million to produce and earned $143 million at the box office in its first weekend...
It's just unreasonable!
The opening weekend of $143 million is the third in film history, behind "The Dark Knight" and "Spider-Man 3"...
Of course, after a month of release, the final box office did not reach 300 million...
People have already made a lot of money!
The global box office of the last "Moving Labyrinth" was close to 400 million US dollars, and it can be said that it can wrestle with "Twilight", and the second part is not comparable, with an overseas box office of 430 million US dollars...
Summit Entertainment relied on this series to make a name for itself!
Of course, "Moving Maze 2" is not much worse, the global box office should be in the early 400 million US dollars, and the income is also about 200 million, Shen Mengxi personally earned 40 million US dollars from this movie - 20% of the account, if you add the studio's account, it will be more than 70 million US dollars...
Huayi Brothers' listing prospectus stated that the annual net profit in 2008 was 68.0645 million yuan.
Indeed, the money made by Shen Mengxi in a drama can be called Hua Yi's earnings for a few years...
Insert a sentence, Shen Mengxi's 6.8 million shares publicly show the fifth largest individual shareholder, and only Ma Yun and Jiang Nanchun are listed in front of him...
Chen Liming holds 5.2 million shares, ranking sixth...
......
Zhao Jinsong also came, and he whispered to Shen Mengxi: "Chen Guofu wants to cooperate with us to license "Di Renjie"... Ready to make a series!"
"Di Renjie" series...
Is that Di Renjie who is getting worse and worse?
"I'm not very optimistic, the most important thing to do in a series of films, especially commercial films, is to ensure the consistency of the works before and after. Permission for this person to be too imaginative, it doesn't matter if a drama is rotten, if it is put in a series, it will be the whole series!"
After a pause, Shen Mengxi added: "Unless he is willing to only be a director!"
Hand over the screenwriting rights...
Zhao Jinsong didn't answer...
Fools know it's impossible!
That's permission, Xu Laowei's film director, producer, and screenwriter grabbed it.
"Huayi will have "Tangshan Earthquake", "Di Renjie", and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" next year, all of which are blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million..."
"There are also "Spy Sea", "New Shaolin Temple"... If people want to do something, let them do it, and we will do it step by step. ”
A lot of times, it's not like you just want to do it!
As soon as people go public, they have money, and they dig people everywhere...
"They think "The Wind" is quite happy to work together..."
"Next year's National Day file, we will be on "My Girlhood"..."
Shen Mengxi directly blocked the words.
Zhao Jinsong couldn't say anything, someone happened to be looking for him, and he left...
......
"Wendi Deng invited me to star in "Snowflake Secret Fan", and also said that the director is Wang Ying, who is the director of "The Joy Luck Club"!"
Liu Yifei is very excited...
She really likes "The Joy Luck Club".
"The Joy Luck Club"...
A typical Chinese image film in the eyes of Westerners.
depicts four Chinese girls who have a tragic experience in China, and then invariably choose to go to the United States to start a new life...
Of course, "The Joy Luck Club" shows more of a clash of cultures: the clash between Chinese family ethics and Western ideas of freedom and independence...
It includes the hottest Chinese actresses in China and the United States that year...
You can still check it out!
Shen Mengxi was a little surprised when she heard her say this: "... You want to pick up "Snowflake Secret Fan"?"
"Well, I really want to shoot it, it's said to be a lesbian type!"
“... If you like the lesbian genre, our studio is preparing a "The Price of Salt", starring Cate Blanchett, looking for the second female lead, you can try it!"
"No, I mainly want to be good friends with Wendi Deng... She knows a lot of people!"
"I think it's enough for you to be good with me!"
The young lady smiled and put her arm around her: "... Then I won't take it!"
“... I don't mean that, you don't have to think about my opinion about what you want to do, it's your own business!"
"Then why didn't you let me pick up "Chunli" before?"
"The nature is different, you just went to the United States at that time, and you needed a blockbuster film to open up popularity, but now it's different, "Wolverine", "Inception"... Chinese actress, you are also the only one!"
"Then do you think "Snowflake Secret Fan" can be a blockbuster?"
"Wang Ying's movies have never been blockbusters, he can't even understand the basic narrative, and this "Snowflake Secret Fan" will not be an exception..."
The young lady pondered for a moment: "Then I still don't answer, I like Kate more!"
