Chapter 449: Investing in Movies
In fact, he knew about such a movie half a year ago.
At that time, the magic boy was still in production and had not been completed, and at that time, Tang Long was not optimistic about the anime movie "The Demon Boy".
And he had already forgotten the movie of the magic boy, but what he didn't expect was.
It's been half a year!
"The Demon Boy" actually appeared in his sight in such a way, which also made Tang Long feel annoyed, annoyed that when he first knew about the Demon Boy half a year ago, he didn't make additional investment...... Become an investor.
"Well, they asked me to invest an additional 20 million at that time. ”
"But I think that although the film market is hot now, animation movies are not popular, even if they are ...... after investment I was able to earn a little, but I couldn't make much, so I refused. ”
"Now I really regret it, with the momentum of the magic boy now, a proper foundation of 2 billion, if I had invested 20 million, I would have been able to get at least 100 million. ”
Tang Long held up a finger and said with a look of chagrin.
He is also a rich man, and missing this 100 million, although there will be no financial pressure on him.
But missing the investment in such a hit movie made him extremely annoyed and suspected that there was something wrong with his vision.
"Okay, you don't have to be annoyed, didn't you just miss "The Magic Boy". ”
"If you miss this hit, can we create a hit by ourselves? ”
Zhang Feng knew why Tang Long was annoyed, so he laughed.
Create your own hit?
When Tang Long heard Zhang Feng's words, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately asked, "Zhang Shao, what do you mean...... Are you going to make a movie?"
"Well, I did have that idea, and I just had it this morning. ”
Zhang Feng did not deny it and replied:
"It's been half a year since I acquired the three major film and television companies, but I haven't given any other instructions except for letting you shoot "The Legend of Roselle". ”
"Tell me about the achievements of the three major film and television companies in terms of films. ”
"This way, I have a good bottom in my heart. ”
Tang Long scratched his head and said: "Zhang Shao, we have invested in three movies in the past six months, all of which are being filmed, and the movies we invested in before have been released in four months in the past six months, and two of them have lost some money, adding up to about 300 million." ”
"The remaining two, one didn't lose money, but it didn't make much money, after the cost was removed...... That's just a few million dollars of profit left. ”
"It's the last step, and it was just released last month, and the box office is good, with a box office of 2.7 billion, ranking tenth in the Chinese movie box office list...... It is also our only movie in the top ten at the box office.
"But this time "Magic Boy" is a big hit, I estimate that it is very likely that they will exceed 2.7 billion box office, and we will be squeezed out of the top ten at the box office. ”
Squeezed out of the top 10 at the box office?
Zhang Feng frowned: "Aren't the three major film and television companies the largest entertainment company in Huaxia, how can they make achievements in the film market, is that all? Of the three behemoth film and television companies, only one movie is in the top ten at the box office, and it is still tenth?"
The answer given by Tang Long indeed exceeded Zhang Feng's expectations.
It can be said that Zhang Feng did not expect it at all.
Originally, he thought that!
There are behemoths like the three major film and television companies under their names, and they have to occupy at least five or six positions in the top ten box office in the film industry, or even occupy the top ten.
But the truth is!
Of the top ten movies at the box office in China, they only have one, and it is the last one, and it is ...... Now with the box office explosion of "Magic Boy", this tenth position will not be able to be kept.
This made Zhang Feng depressed and very depressed.
"Zhang Shao, the influence of the three major film and television companies in the circle is indeed very great, if you say that you go back five years, the top ten movies at the box office, we occupy eight seats...... And it's still in the top eight. ”
"But in the past five years, the Chinese film market has been too hot. ”
"The box office record is eager to break five times a year, and the top ten movies on the list now are all movies from the last three years. ”
Tang Long said with some grievances: "And a few years ago, when the film market was just booming, we also invested in some good movies, three of which entered the top five at the box office. ”
"But in the last three years, the dragon has been fighting...... Our top five movies have all been brushed down. ”
"For a long time, although the three major film and television companies have made achievements in the film market, the three of us have ...... In fact, they are all TV dramas and online dramas, and movies are a side hustle!"
"If you say that it is the hottest TV series and the hottest online drama now, then I dare to pat my chest and say it...... Whether it was before or now, seven or eight out of ten of the most popular dramas are from the three major film and television companies. ”
When talking about movies, Tang Long still lacked confidence.
But when it comes to the three major film and television companies, Tang Long is full of confidence.
"By the way, Zhang Shao...... In addition to TV series and online dramas, among the three major variety shows in the country, all of them are three major film and television companies. ”
Tang Long said in a deep voice: "Before you acquired the three major film and television companies, we were all rivals, although we had a good relationship in private, but the market competition was ...... are all secretly competing, each of them is crazy to create variety shows, and in the end, each of them creates a national variety show, which is now in the variety show market...... The three major film and television companies occupy the top three. ”
"And I don't want to brag about it, now the domestic ratings, online broadcasts, and the top ten variety shows, our three major film and television companies account for more than half, and they belong to the big brother of variety shows. ”
When he said this, Tang Long was still full of confidence, and his face was also flushed.
Zhang Feng heard Tang Long say this, but he thought about it.
TV series, the three major film and television companies are the leading industries.
Online dramas, the three major film and television companies are also leading industries.
Variety shows, the three major film and television companies are still the leading industries.
But it failed in the film market...... To put it bluntly, the three major film and television companies are a bit biased.
"Generally speaking, the strength of the three major film and television companies is still very strong, but now the film market is very hot, if we don't take advantage of the current market to stabilize the market in a few years, if we want to seize the market, it will be difficult. ”
Zhang Feng looked at Tang Long and said thoughtfully: "Since I am here today and I have talked about this, then we have to hurry up and start seizing the film market." ”
Seize the film market?
When Tang Long heard this, his eyes lit up, but then they dimmed.
"Zhang Shao, in fact, I have always had this idea, but now the film market is too deep. ”
"Good screenwriter, script...... have all been snatched away by those companies that specialize in films, and it is really difficult for the three major film and television companies to intervene. ”
"And we're in other fields, such as TV dramas, online dramas, variety shows...... The limelight is too strong, if it is snatching the film market in this case, it will offend the interests of many people, and then the three major film and television companies will become a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh. ”
Tang Long said worriedly.
