Dongzhimen Baoli Building, Hantang Media Group.

Liu Debin, president of Hantang Films, came to report to Tang An early in the morning.

"Mr. Liu, sit down and wait for me for two minutes. ”

Quickly read the report in hand and set it aside.

"Mr. Liu, the financing of 2 billion will be in place soon, Hantang Pictures will be listed in two years, and I don't need to say much about the importance of these two years. ”

Liu Debin immediately said, "Tang Dong, you can rest assured that the company is currently operating well and has no problems with its smooth listing." ”

Tang An nodded, he had nothing to worry about in this regard.

With a strong enough channel, it's basically impossible to fail.

Look at these big companies, no matter how bad a blockbuster loses, there will be no losses all year round.

Even if Ah Tanuki Pictures loses about one billion every year, it is not the loss of Ah Tanuki Pictures itself.

If it's really a tanuki film company that loses one billion a year, that gang of sub-management is the real fool, and it's hopeless.

It is impossible to find a CEO in any small and medium-sized company in the film and television industry to manage Ahri Pictures.

There are strong enough channel resources, and you can make money with your eyes closed.

Ah, the loss is only for the tickets, more than one billion tickets per year, and a huge amount of promotion costs.

Tang An, the operator of Hantang Films, is not worried at all, Nuomi Film has the support of a new round of financing of 2 billion yuan, and it can also maintain and even expand its market share advantage.

There's nothing to say about this, it's just fighting for money and resources, and there's no way to get around.

The original time and space ticket was launched two years later than Maoyan, and as a result, it occupied the first share of the market in just three years, relying on the support of Ah's traffic and huge cash.

Hantang Pictures has nothing to worry about, to ensure the share of glutinous rice films, there are no major mistakes in the business, and nothing else matters.

After listening to Liu Debin's report briefly, Tang An looked at the time and it was not early.

"It's almost time, let's talk on the way, go and see Zhou Xingchi. ”

Leave the company, get in the car and go to the hotel that you have made an appointment with Zhou Xingchi.

"Mr. Liu, why did you say that Zhou Xingchi didn't accept our investment?"

Liu Debin thought for a while and said, "Tang Dong, I think he should want to compete with you, and he doesn't want his film to have anything to do with you." ”

"He's a proud guy, I've met him a few times, I don't see anything on the surface, but I feel it. And he added.

Tang An shook his head and smiled, "That's the only explanation." ”

Everyone's personality is different, and this can't be changed.

Liu Debin said again, "Ma Yun came to him in person yesterday, this is the first time Ma Yun has appeared for a movie, it seems that he and Zhou Xingchi had a good relationship before." ”

Ma Yun has a wide range of friends, and the film and television industry is the same, and he has a good relationship with many big-name stars.

It is estimated that there should be no one who is unwilling to make friends with old horses.

sang "Legend" with Li Jian, asked Huang Bo how he looked, and played Tai Chi with Zhou Xingchi......

In terms of Ma Yun's eloquence, or the ability to flicker, people who are no longer at the same level can be easily suppressed.

Ten years ago, if Ma Yun accepted Tang An as his younger brother, he might not agree.

But now, Tang An at least surpassed Ma Yun in personal wealth, unlike before, he needed to look up to him, there was no pressure in his heart, he couldn't fool no matter what he said.

The main thing is the mentality, now standing in front of any ordinary person, ordinary people are estimated to have trembling hands and feet.

But if the man happens to be unrecognizable......

Zhou Xingchi has a great probability of accepting Ma Yun's investment, but Tang An also has to take the time to run.

"By the way, Tang Dong, speaking of which, in addition to last year's Spring Festival, we had some holidays with him. Liu Debin also said again.

Tang An asked, "Oh, what did you offend him?"

Liu Debin explained, "He has three cinema management companies under the magic capital Bigao, Chongqing Jiaying, and Chongqing Yuejie, a total of more than 20 cinemas, and the magic capital Bigao has joined the joint cinema line of the Magic Shadow Group, and several cinemas of Chongqing Jiaying and Yuejie Cinema Management Company have joined the land. ”

... And there's such a thing.

But this shouldn't be the main reason, although nearly 100 movie theaters were fined and rectified that time, but it was just some who went too far and were killed as chickens for monkeys.

Basically, there are few franchised theaters in the major theaters that do not steal the box office, and even some directly operated theaters, it is not so simple to be investigated, and those movie theaters that have been fined for rectification have stolen at least half of the box office in a year.

Even if you are fined 200,000 yuan and rectify for three months, you will not lose money.

However, if the stolen box office is greedy by the theater manager below, then the movie theater will lose a lot.

......

In the hotel that he had made an appointment, Tang An met Zhou Xingchi and his assistant Chen Zhenyu again.

It seems that Zhou Xingchi has no agent since Tian Qiwen and Wei Dashen, and only one assistant is by his side, and Chen Guohui, a partner of Xinghui, also ran away because of the share dividends of "God of Food", "The King of Comedy", and "Shaolin Football", and became a loner.

"Hello Director Zhou. ”

"Tang Dong, Mr. Liu, hello. ”

The two sides said hello and sat down face to face.

Tang An didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point, "Director Zhou, I hope you can consider our Han and Tang Dynasty, looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no company can compare to Han Tang in later marketing and publicity, no matter which company it is, the help for "Mermaid" will not be as great as the support that Han Tang can give." ”

Don't play false, cooperation relies on hard power.

Tang An is not talking big, in the film and television industry, whether it is Wanda or Ah Li, Teng Xun, or China Film, they are not the opponents of Han and Tang.

Zhou Xingchi is rich, sits on a billion mansions, has many properties under his name, speculates in real estate and land in Xiangjiang, and now has a net worth of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

But he still has to rely on large companies in the mainland, otherwise "Mermaid" will not give up two-thirds of the share.

Zhou Xingchi didn't refute, he waited for Tang An to finish speaking, glanced at Liu Debin next to him, and then spoke, "Does Tang Dong plan to invest in the name of Hantang Media or Hantang Pictures?"

Tang An was a little surprised, but still said truthfully, "Hantang Media is now planning my two new films, as well as the huge investment in the "Fengshen" series, and the investment in "Mermaid" is participated by Hantang Pictures, but the group's resources can be mobilized. ”

Zhou Xingchi said with a smile, "I heard that Hantang Pictures will go public in 2016, so if you say that, is investing in "Mermaid" just for the purpose of listing?"

Tang An nodded, "That's right." ”

Zhou Xingchi shook his head and said, "Then I'm sorry, my movie can't be reduced to a tool for listing." ”

Tang An smiled dumbly, this excuse is really clumsy.

It's a noble statement, but everyone is just a businessman.

In the next two years, he sold the shares of one of his companies to New Culture at a high price, sold 1.3 billion, and signed a four-year VAM agreement with a profit of one billion.

Therefore, after "The Mermaid", Zhou Xingchi, who has been sharpening his sword for four years, supervised the production of "Journey to the West" in 17 years, and filmed "The King of New Comedy" and "Mermaid 2" at the same time in 17 and 18 years.

The last two were released in 19, because 19 is the last year of the VAM agreement, and if it can't reach a profit of one billion, Zhou Xingchi will have to make money.

can see Zhou Xingchi's movies continuously, thanks to New Culture, and later many star fans said so, and said that they wanted to buy some stocks of New Culture.

Money is really almighty, 1.3 billion to buy a little worthless shares.

Even Zhou Xingchi finally fell in front of the 1.3 billion, and was finally coerced by capital.

Similarly, there is Feng Xiaogang, all the stars and directors who have opened a company have a bunch of capital to target.

Anyway, the capital doesn't lose anything, it's good for everyone to bet, if it can't be reached, the stars and directors will pay for it, and they just give the money to the stars in advance.

Tang An didn't dwell on it much, and said goodbye in two polite sentences.

"Director Zhou was disturbed, let's go first, goodbye. ”

Tang Dong walked slowly. ”

After Tang An left, assistant Chen Zhenyu said to Zhou Xingchi, "If you refuse him like this, will there be trouble then?"

Zhou Xingchi shook his head, "With China Shadow, Guangxian, and Ahri Investment, there will be no problems." ”

He doesn't know much about Tang An's personality, but it is said that he has a strong desire to control and is not too generous.

Zhou Xingchi is not afraid that Tang An will retaliate or something, there are three major companies investing, and there will be no problem.

What's more, there are more than 20 investors in this film, and there are everyone in the open, and it is impossible for Tang An to offend so many people.

He didn't accept Han Tang's investment, and the most important thing was that he didn't want to have anything to do with Tang An.

After all, Tang An is too famous now, and any movie with these two words, if you deliberately promote it, it is easy to think that it is related to Tang An.

Zhou Xingchi is also a person with a strong desire to control, and he will not allow his films to be related to others.

......

Tang An and Liu Debin left the hotel, got into the car, and instructed, "Wait for them to finalize the investment and make a formal offer." ”

The main thing to participate in "Mermaid" is to go public for Hantang Pictures, even if it may not be able to take away the film history championship from Tang An, it is also a phenomenal movie, and this one is better than three billion-level films.

Even if you can't get the investment, you can get the right to issue.

Liu Debin nodded, and had no objection to Tang An's insistence on winning this movie.

Listed companies need to have good performance and positive fame, and for film history companies, a movie that hits the box office is definitely beneficial.

The group has a lot of projects, but Xu Zheng's next film has not yet been filmed, and "Legend of the Gods" will also be released after it is listed.

"Then let's open a billion first and see how they react?" asked Liu Debin.

"Forget about one billion, directly open 1.3 billion, and you will focus on following up during this time. ”

Tang An doesn't care about this kind of thing, and he doesn't have that idle time.

"No problem, what's the bottom line?"

"20...2.5 billion, you decide for yourself within 2.5 billion, and come to me after 2.5 billion. ”

Tang An thought about it and gave a high bottom line, with the investment of the three major companies of China Film, Guangxian, and Ahri, it is impossible to grab the issuance right without a high price.

Originally, it was supposed to be Guangxian, Hehe, and China Film teaming up to guarantee 1.8 billion, but now it is impossible for Hantang to win it with this figure, after all, the distribution share is a large piece of profit.

2.5 billion?

Rao is Liu Debin saw that Tang An attached so much importance to "The Mermaid", and knew that it would definitely not be low, but this 25 really scared him.

However, in the past five years, Tang An has not only broken one record after another, but all the movies he is optimistic about have been successful without exception, and compared with outsiders, the trust in Tang An within the group is 100%.

Even if they didn't believe it, there was no way, countless facts proved that they couldn't convince Tang An to change his mind.

And the whole group is owned by Tang An alone, although Hantang Pictures has several other shareholders, but Tang An alone accounts for 82% of the shares, which is a real dictatorship.

This matter was handed over to Liu Debin, Tang An dealt with the company's affairs again, and then devoted himself to the editing of "Mysterious Superstar".

......

On April 27th, three days later, Xinghui signed a contract with Ahri and reached the last investment.

So far, all the 300 million investment in "Mermaid" has been received, excluding Zhou Xingchi's 60 million salary, and the production cost is as high as 240 million.

But just one day later, Hantang Pictures officially quoted a high guarantee of 1.3 billion to investors!

The four major investors got together again, but Zhou Xingchi was already busy with the movie, so he sent an assistant over, anyway, Zhou Xingchi couldn't get the distribution, and he still had to hand it over to these three.

The four parties sat together and didn't discuss for long, the box office of 1.3 billion seemed high enough, but it was far from what they expected.

What's more, if they release it themselves, they earn more.

On the day he got the offer, Zhou Xingchi's assistant Chen Zhenyu replied to Hantang Pictures and refused.

However, after thinking about it for two days, Hantang Pictures increased the offer to 1.5 billion.

The four investors still didn't discuss it for long and still refused.

In two years, the annual box office will increase by at least 50%, in the name of Zhou Xingchi, it took two years to carefully craft "The Mermaid", as long as the quality is acceptable, and Deng Chao, a big-name star with great box office appeal, the box office of 1.5 billion is close at hand.

...

In a clubhouse, Lin Sheng, Fan Luyuan, and Wang Changtian, who represented the three main prosecutions, and Chen Zhenyu, who represented Zhou Xingchi, got together.

Chen Zhenyu said the latest situation, "Three, Hantang Pictures has opened to 1.8 billion. ”

"No!" Fan Luyuan said without thinking.

Lin Sheng also said. "Our box office estimate is around 1.6-1.8 billion. ”

Although 1.8 billion met their box office estimates, the distribution fee was also a lot of money.

Wang Changtian said with a smile, "I don't think this is Tang Dong's highest offer, since he dares to speak, I have a hunch that it will definitely surprise us." ”

Wang Changtian guessed correctly, five days later, Liu Debin once again gave a sky-high guarantee of 2 billion.

2 billion guaranteed, this is already a box office record in film history, even if the market will rise by half in two years, this record is likely to be ancient.

Even if there is a high distribution share, this data will definitely make anyone's heart flutter.

Don't forget, this money can be obtained now, even if the final money is the same as the guarantee, but then two years later.

In two years, even if you buy a house, you can make a lot of money!

The Quartet came together again.

"What do you mean, three?"

Chen Zhenyu still asked them first, the issuance had nothing to do with him, although Zhou Xingchi didn't want Tang An to participate, but such a high price, other investors accepted it, and Zhou Xingchi had no way to refuse.

Wang Changtian was a little moved, he has always been a small business, and it took a lot of money to acquire Maoyan, and it would be great to be able to return the funds immediately, not to mention making a lot of money.

However, "You at the Same Table" is hot at the box office, and there are two low-cost youth films next, with a high probability of making a profit, and Wang Changtian is very angry this time.

He just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Fan Luyuan on the other side spoke.

"On behalf of Ahri Pictures, I will guarantee 2.1 billion. ”
