(Hehe, I met a nice girl on a blind date...) ）

There are a total of 14 producers and co-producers of "The Mermaid", five theaters, and two major online ticketing platforms.

In terms of Zhou Xingchi, in addition to Aofei Culture and Xinghui Film, there is also Xiangshan Zeyue - Xiangshan Zeyue is a fund management company set up by Zhou Xingchi's film project, and Wuxi Huichi - this is a company in which Zhou Xingchi's sister serves as a legal person...

The film investment circle has always been a small market.

It is not as difficult as the outside world thinks to participate in Zhou Xingchi's movie, in addition to the connections in the circle, the people under the star have been actively contacting different companies.

The production budget of "Mermaid" is not cheap, and the terms of over-budget are also very vague...

It's definitely a pit of money!

This account, as long as Lu Xiaoran is willing to check, one check is accurate!

Of course, none of this is a matter under the super high box office of "Mermaid".

You know, with the box office of "The Mermaid" rising, the share price of Orange rose by 6%...

For a market value of 120 billion, a fluctuation of one percentage point is more than one billion!

The source of all this is Zhou Xingxing...

Therefore, the company feels that it can't lose big because of small ...

But it's still those three words: why?

Without the strong distribution, publicity, and control and review escort of Orange, "Mermaid" can win 3.35 billion?

The relationship between studios and superstars has always been tangled.

First of all, they need each other.

But they are full of strife.

The boss must think, if I earn less than you, then you are the boss, and I will work for you?

And celebrities must think, but if it weren't for me, would you be able to make so much money?

Especially a superstar like Zhou Xingchi!

If things are found to be irreconcilable, they are torn.

For example, Cruise and Paramount after "Spy 3".

The problem now is that Zhou Xingxing is not short of a home!

According to the words of Zhang Qiang, CEO of Ahri Pictures: "There is more porridge and less monks, today we can't find the director and actors with the money and the script, and we have to beg for people everywhere." ”

Xing Ye is the top IP!

Judging from the results of Hua Yi and Xing Ye's tearing, losing Xing Ye's high-quality resources, Hua Yi failed to catch the express train of "Mermaid", Hua Yi is very short-sighted...

As a result, Huayi's market value was overtaken by Wanda and Glossy one after another...

Ranked fourth...

That's why Lu Xiaoran is so entangled...

......

"You are not the same kind of person as Zhou Xingxing and Xu Zheng!"

"What do you make movies for? other than to make money?"

Lu Xiaoran thought for a while, and then replied: "Build a mature Chinese film industry, and by the way, write your name into the history of Chinese film!"

This is really Director Lu's goal now...

To be a man, you must always be ideal, what's the point of always making movies with money?

"But Zhou Xingchi is for money!"

“... I can't say the same, his exact words are, 'I still believe in doing things well, this is the core thing, and this and then making money is a match.'" That is, he is essentially a filmmaker..."

The big golden retriever was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think that you have convinced Zhou Xingxing with your personal charm?"

"How... How could it be, I... I'm not that in love!"

Lao Lu is a little embarrassed...

It's not that I think I'm glamorous, but I think the script of "Just Kidding" should have touched the stars...

The big golden retriever complained mercilessly: "Wake up! You are not the protagonist of fantasy, as soon as those people are born, the glow is ten thousand ways, there are thousands of rainbows, and countless chrysanthemums bloom in the sky, and then there is a strong wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and the whole picture of a thunder man's anal fissure! You don't have a bullish old man, carrying a broken thing to identify talent..."

"You're just a director!"

"I'm worth more than 100 billion!"

“... So what? Ma Yun is much better than you, isn't she swallowed in your stomach by the tears of those people?"

It's...

Ahri Pictures is really, five years after its establishment, it has been ridiculed in various ways, it cost 300 million to make a love film, and 300 million to make a big IP...

The so-called Ahri Entertainment loses billions of dollars every year!

“... Okay. ”

Lu Xiaoran nodded, then dialed Zhong Lifang's phone, and only said: "Next year's Spring Festival, I will supervise a movie..."

It means that I will give up Zhou Xingchi's IP...

"What about "Just Kidding"?"

“... Let David find a way to contact Jim Carrey, since Hong Kong's Jim Carrey can't act, then find the real Jim Carrey!"

......

So, with the news that "The Mermaid" set a box office record, another news also came out: "Journey to the West", Orange is no longer the producer...

There is a lot of speculation...

There are different opinions, and the general opinion: oranges are short-sighted!

I didn't see what happened to the Huang brothers after falling out with Zhou Xingxing...

Of course, some people also questioned Zhou Xingxing's character, after all, they fell out with Huayi and Orange one after another...

But someone immediately noticed that the Huayi brothers appeared on the list of producers of "Journey to the West"...

What's going on?

It is said that Ye Ning went to Hong Kong to find Zhou Xingchi in person, I don't know what promises were made, Zhou Xingchi and Huayi rebuilt the old friendship...

You see, there are no eternal opponents in the capital market, only interests!

Ye Ning is really amazing, after joining Huayi, in terms of movies, he formulated three regulations:

First: content is king, starting from the work itself and content, insisting on content as king, creating high-quality films, and "creating the power to touch people's hearts";

Second: work a series of blockbusters of genre and industrialization to better stimulate the effect of the industrial chain, "Di Renjie", "Painted Skin" and "Onmyoji" series;

Third, it is necessary to support auteur film genres with strong styles, such as Feng Xiaogang's films, Guan Yu and Cheng Er's films, and support young directors to explore different possibilities and maintain the youthful vitality of the film market.

In addition, in terms of line selection and publicity, the goal is to establish a self-operated cinema brand belonging to Huayi within five years, and the number of screens will reach 800...

Why doesn't Huayi engage in cinemas?

Huang Zhonglei explained: I'm afraid of the Paramount Act...

In fact, the main reason is that the Huang brothers feel that they have content and don't have to do theaters anymore...

In the later stage, I want to do a theater, but I can't afford it...

At this stage, the capital mergers and acquisitions in the cinema market are not particularly market-oriented, and the transaction price, target and price-earnings ratio exceed the market too much.

The market value of Orange Cinema is estimated to be 8 billion, that is to say, if it is sold, Orange Cinema will triple in four years!

Of course, if Huayi smashes the pot and sells iron, it will definitely be able to make a theater!

It's a pity that time doesn't wait for him, otherwise, if you give him another two years, maybe you can really lead Hua Yi out of the swamp...

Back to the orange announcement, the announcement shows that next year's Spring Festival, Orange will release a new movie directed by Su Lun, written and produced by Lu Xiaoran, tentatively named "Sunshine Sisters"...
