Chapter 280: Different Ideas (5/5)

Huang Zhongjun, born in 1960, belongs to the children of the big courtyard, has a bold temperament, and has been influenced by art since childhood, and has "his own feelings" for film, painting, and architecture.

The result of the combination of Jianghu and scholarly anger is that Huang Zhongjun sees movies as a ring to attract connections.

Unlike the heads of other film and television companies, Huang Zhongjun has always liked to deal with entrepreneurs outside the entertainment industry, and frequently participates in various entrepreneur gatherings.

It should be the end of 06, Huang Zhongjun met Lao Ma in the "China Entrepreneur Club", and walked together because of the common hobby of collecting art, and then cherished each other.

According to "Business People", every time Lao Ma goes to Beijing, the two will have a "secret meeting", and Huang Zhongjun will live at Lao Ma's house every time he goes to Hangzhou.

Huang Zhongjun, who is good at managing circles, has also developed Lao Ma into a business partner.

In 07, Lao Ma invested in Huayi Brothers in his personal capacity.

With the endorsement of Lao Ma, Jiang Nanchun, the founder of Yunfeng Fund, Wanxiang Group, and Focus Media, also joined the team of shareholders of Huayi Brothers.

Later, Lao Ma also led Ahri, Tencent, and Ping An of China to jointly invest 3.6 billion yuan in cash in Huayi Brothers, creating the most beautiful moment in the film and television industry.

Lao Huang is a circle!

After going public, he began to de-cinematize and transform into investment...

The model of using capital leverage to acquire, cash out and profit the game industry has become the economic growth pole that Huayi Brothers focuses on.

Compared with the dismal film business, Huayi Brothers is expanding in other aspects, investing in games, operating IP, live entertainment, theater construction, Internet entertainment, etc., all have Huayi's figure.

After Huayi went public, the movie basically didn't make any money - except for a "Journey to the West", their financial reports were all made by the palm fun technology they invested in before reducing their holdings...

After just four years of hard work, Huayi has finally become less like a film company or an entertainment company, but more like a group that looks extremely bloated before it grows up, and has a little bit of any business...

This is the biggest difference between him and Boss Lu!

Boss Lu has never mixed circles, and he can't say that he doesn't mix circles, but his circle is relatively small, and there are no rich people or celebrities...

Celebrities, once you become famous, there will be a bunch of celebrities and rich people who are willing to get to know you, call you brothers, travel together, and even share the wine pond meat forest, Xiangche supermodel...

If Boss Lu wants to, of course he can.

He doesn't like that!

The two companies started differently, Huang Zhongjun said in an interview: "Why do we succeed in the movie? It depends on 'big productions, big spending, and big names in film and television!'"

So, they will be deeply bound to the stars!

Through the acquisition of star cooperation companies at a high premium and the signing of VAM agreements, resources are deeply bundled.

Of course, there is no problem with this model when the star is high, but once the star value falls, it will deeply affect the company!

Lu Xiaoran's orange directly withdrew from the brokerage department and did not sign a brokerage contract with any celebrity...

Orange Movies started with low-cost movies, except for "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the sequence of works released so far, the largest investment is 90 million in "Source Code", which is not the main investment of Orange...

Also, Lu Xiaoran never cashes out of the stock market!

Huang Zhongjun cashed out more than 500 million yuan in 3 months, and the explanation given by Huayi Brothers was that the chairman was "caused by his children's work, personal finance, and investment in new projects".

Faced with the question of reducing his holdings and cashing out, Huang Zhongjun responded confidently, "I also want to live, the salary I receive in the company is hundreds of thousands, and I am also a person who can spend money, I can't survive if I don't sell stocks, and I don't have so much energy to continue to work for shareholders." ”

I have to sigh that Huang Zhongjun, who is so "poor" that he urgently cashes out 500 million yuan in the stock market, spent 377 million yuan to buy a famous Van Gogh painting some time ago, and the industry was shocked!

In the following two years, Huang Zhongjun also spent 185 million yuan to photograph Picasso's famous painting "Sitting Portrait of a Woman with Hair in a Bun", and 207 million yuan to buy Zeng Gong's "Bureau Post"...

That's the right way to open a billionaire!

In comparison, Lu Xiaoran's five properties in Beijing, three in Shanghai, three in Xi'an, and two in Hangzhou are considered fart!

Lu five hundred who can only hoard houses!

......

Huang Zhongjun shook hands with Lu Xiaoran very warmly, and then said, "Lu Dong is also coming to ride a horse?"

“... I was caught by a friend, let me introduce, Cao Binkun, a particularly good actor!"

Huang Zhongjun looked at Cao Binkun and asked suspiciously: "Cao Binkun?

Cao Binkun nodded: "Yes, Huang Dong has also watched "Latent"?"

"Well, I watched it a few years ago, a very good TV series. ”

"Thank you!"

"I heard that "Latent" is the work of Lu Dong's screenwriter?"

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "No, I'm working for Teacher Jiang Wei, he is the chief screenwriter." ”

"That's also very powerful, I heard that at that time, Lu Dong was only in his twenties?"

"Hehe... Maybe it's a hobby, I like to write a little bit of a story or something..."

"I can't, I can only paint. ”

After chatting a few words, Huang Zhongjun said goodbye, and Lu Xiaoran watched him leave...

Cao Binkun whispered: "I thought you two would quarrel!"

"Quarrelsome?"

""Shendu Dragon King" and "Moon"!"

“... You're thinking too much!"

"I heard that theaters have begun to suppress "Moon"!"

Lu Xiaoran: "That's nothing to do with him, I guess he doesn't even know what the plot of "Shendu Dragon King" is, why do you quarrel with me?

It's not nonsense, after Huayi went public, Huang Zhongjun basically didn't care about movies.

He has the nickname of 'China's laziest CEO', he is used to getting up at 11 o'clock and not going to work much in the morning, and he believes that the chairman of a company should not have a workload every day...

Cao Binkun pursed his lips, picked up his iPad and began to order...

Boss Lu was thinking about Huayi's layout, and then reflected on whether the orange path was right.

The business model of a good film company should be like this: there are fixed works that can be released in theaters every year, and the next year, 3 or even 5 years of filming plans are made in advance.

After a good work is rewarded by a high box office in the market, the capital earned will continue to be invested in the main business of film and television, locking in excellent creatives, cultivating new directors and screenwriters, and buying copyrights.

Instead of investing in games, abusing funds to buy famous paintings, or something - it's not that you can't invest, and the business you invest in should be helpful to your main business.

In this way, a positive cycle can be formed, bringing good works to the audience, leaving classics to the film and television industry, bringing enough cash flow to the company, and bringing a new atmosphere to the film and television industry.

That's the way oranges are going now!

Orange's film project has been running for three years now.

Huayi... The wrong way!

After coming back to her senses, Lu Xiaoran glanced at Cao Binkun: "Lao Cao, I want to make a new movie, you can help me play a role!"

"Okay, when will you shoot?"

“... Wait a week. ”

"Yes, give me the script!"

"Hmm. ”

Lao Cao didn't ask about the plot and characters at all, he directly agreed, he knew that Lu Xiaoran would not pit him...

Director Lu's new movie that is ready to start filming is, of course, "Detective Chinatown", in addition to Wang Baobao + Zhang Xincheng, other supporting roles, such as Kun Tai, Huang Langden, Tony, Li, the robbery trio...

Lao Cao played Kun Tai, Huang Langden handed over to Shen Teng, Li, and of course Pan Yueming;

The robbery trio: Allen, Yin Xiaotian and Wei Shen...

The others remain the same, especially Ah Xiang, according to the auxiliary device, 'I never thought Tong Yali would be so beautiful!'

Director Lu has no intention of continuing the frontier at all, he just wants to know what kind of beauty Ah Xiang can do!

The dish was quite fast, the two continued to chat while eating, and Boss Lu revealed: ""Partner" will focus on next year's May Day..."

"Is it settled?"

"Hmm... Huang Dong, what's wrong?"

Halfway through speaking, Huang Zhongjun came over again.

Huang Zhongjun said with a smile: "I don't know if I have the honor to invite Lu Dong to come to the box for a gathering?"

Lu Xiaoran looked at the table full of food: "We have ordered the dishes." ”

“... Zeng Dong and Mr. Ye are also in the box, Lu Dong won't lose face, right?"

"Who?"

"Zeng Maojun, Ye Ning!"

Tsk, the head of Wanda Films and Wanda Cinemas...

What a big hand!

It's a pity that it is not enough to see in front of Lu Ma five hundred, if Wang Shoufu or Lao Ma comes, he may move his position.

waved his hand: "... In this way, you can help me tell them, in two days, the box office of "Moon" will break 500 million, and we will hold a celebration party, and when the time comes, everyone is welcome to participate!"

"Hehe, then I'll take my leave..."

Huang Zhongjun still smiled and left the hall...

Cao Binkun didn't raise his head: "You don't give him face like this?"

"It's an opponent, why pretend to be a brother? Besides, I don't like him very much!"

“... There are more people who don't like him!"

"And then?"

"There are a lot of people who don't like you!"

"Damn!"
