In mid-November, Tang An invited Yu Dong, Pang Hong, Wang Changtian, and Zhou Yongqiang, director of the board of directors and president of Singapore Mediacorp Group, to discuss the investment and distribution of "Painted Skin 2".

They had already met once before, and a preliminary verbal agreement had been reached, and this time they had come to sign the contract.

In addition to Bernard and Ningxia Film Studio, Tang An also brought Guangxian in.

This is also because there is no movie released in Guangxian in July this year, even in July and August during the entire summer season, there is only one film directed by Chen Musheng and starring Guo Fucheng and Shu Qi.

Bernard is similar, "The King of Guns" in early July and "Deserted Village Inn" in early August.

Most of the other movies in the summer file were distributed by China Film, and some were Magic Shadow and Huayi.

With the joint release of these two giants, the summer file can at least face "Tangshan Earthquake" positively.

Zhou Yongqiang is the president of Mediacorp, and this time he came to the mainland to discuss cooperation with CCTV, and he happened to come to talk about this project.

Last year, "Painted Skin" sold more than $4 million in Southeast Asia, and the box office share alone was almost enough to recoup their costs, as well as revenue from videotapes and other rights.

This year's sequel certainly won't be missed.

Coming to the hotel on time, Wang Changtian and Pang Hong had already arrived, and Yu Dong and Zhou Yongqiang also arrived not long after.

As the initiator of the project and the largest investor, Tang An spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have each done an accounting before the cost issue, the production cost is 55 million, the publicity cost is 25 million, and the total cost is 800 billion!"

"According to what we agreed before, I will contribute 30 million, accounting for 50% of all the income. ”

Yu Dong said, "Berner invested 15 million, accounting for 25% of all revenues!"

Pang Hong continued: "We are a small household in Ningxia Factory, and we shared a piece of the pie with Mr. Tang and Yu Dong last year, and invested another 9 million this year, accounting for 15% of the income. ”

Wang Changtian smiled and said, "Thank you so much for thinking of me for such a good project this time, I will pay 6 million for the remaining 10%." ”

Zhou Yongqiang, president of Star Media, finally smiled, "Last year's "Painted Skin" sold more than 4 million US dollars in Asia, and we are willing to invest 20 million yuan in the Asian copyright of this second part this year!"

Mediacorp is the largest media group in Singapore and one of the largest in Southeast Asia.

Indonesian media giants such as Impression Media and Yue Nan International Media are their partners, and their distribution capabilities are among the top in Southeast Asia.

The first part sold more than 4 million, and now with the foundation of the first part, the box office will definitely increase, and 20 million is not expensive.

2000 shared 25% of the cost, and the actual cost was only 60 million, even if the box office was only as much as the first part, it was enough to return to the cost.

Next, the contract was signed, and the specific details have been discussed, this time it was jointly issued by Berner and Guangxian, with a total issuance fee of 10%, half for each party.

In fact, judging from the box office of 200 million in the first part, this second part is fully qualified to pay only 8% of the distribution fee.

However, next year, Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" has been confirmed to land in the summer file, and the distribution needs the best support of Berner and Guangxi, and the cost is set at 10%, and Pang Hong also agreed.

After the business was over, it was time to eat and drink, Tang An immediately asked the hotel to bring up the dishes and set up a full table.

Tang An poured himself a glass, raised his glass and smiled at everyone, "For this cooperation, I salute you, and I also hope that "Painted Skin 2" will be a big hit at the box office next year!"

"Come on. ”

"Cheers. ”

Chinese people can never just eat at the dinner table, before they have eaten two bites, they start drinking, drinking and talking about work.

Wang Changtian touched Tang An with the cup, and asked with a smile, "Why did Mr. Tang think of looking for me if he had something good this time?"

Tang An drank all the wine in the cup and laughed, "If you have money, everyone will earn it together, don't forget me if Wang Dong has any good projects in the future!"

"Then why didn't Mr. Tang look for Wang Dong?"

There is never a pie in the sky, Tang An is now holding the position of Huayi's art director, there is no reason to come to Guangxian to cooperate.

"This is not known that there is still Director Feng's "Tangshan Earthquake", it is impossible for Huayi to release two blockbusters at the same time. ”

"Then Mr. Tang and Wang Dong are in the ring, aren't you afraid that Wang Dong will be unhappy?" Wang Changtian said strangely.

Tang An sighed, "There's no way, the Lunar New Year stalls can't be squeezed out, and the National Day stall market is too small after all, not to mention that it may not be released at the same time, but the specific time will be discussed." ”

Wang Changtian didn't ask any more, he just didn't want to eat a piece of cake in such a daze.

Yu Dong next to him was also a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it.

Tang An looked at Zhou Yongqiang again and touched a glass with him, "Mr. Zhou, I still need your help for next year's publicity." ”

Zhou Yongqiang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, I will arrange it when the time comes, Mr. Tang can rest assured." ”

He naturally knew what Tang An meant, and Mediacorp acquired a 27% stake in Dahe Media, one of the largest advertising companies in China, two years ago, becoming the second largest shareholder of Dahe Media.

......

After the dinner, Tang An immediately asked Xu Yanyun to take the contract to the bank for a loan, so that he no longer had to use the cash on the studio's books.

In the next few days, the collapse of Poly Huayi was just around the corner, but such a big company was still a company with declining performance, how could anyone take over.

A week later, Tang An took Xu Yanyun to Poly Group to discuss the acquisition.

The acquisition of a large media group by a mere director seems to the head of the team in charge of the acquisition case of Poly Group.

If it weren't for the name of director Tang Anda, it is estimated that he would not have seen it.

In the end, it was Tang An who proved his financial ability, and the other party was willing to sit down and talk.

In half a month, four negotiations were held, during which there was also news from the outside world, but no one took it seriously.

It is a little more reliable to say that Zhang Yimou acquired the new picture.

However, someone with a heart was already investigating Tang An, and when he learned that all his remaining 160 houses had been mortgaged with a large amount of cash in successive days, he realized that something was wrong.

At the end of November, Tang An came to Poly Group for the fourth time, accompanied by the largest team of lawyers who are good at mergers and acquisitions in China, including nearly 20 accountants!

After a series of cumbersome procedures, Tang An finally acquired Poly Culture Media, Oriental Shenlong Film Company and other companies with 280 million in cash.

Compared with the valuation of 350 million, it is 70 million less, but Poly has spun off its Poly Theater Management Co., Ltd., Poly International Auction Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Poly Art Plaza Co., Ltd. and other companies.

In addition, Tang An also reached a cooperation with Poly to invest 60 million yuan in Poly Wanhe Cinema Line, accounting for 10% of the shares, becoming one of the shareholders of the top ten cinema chains in China.

The chairman of Poly Group signed several documents and shook hands with Tang An, "Tang Dong, congratulations, Poly culture will be yours in the future!"

"Thank you Hedong, but it's not Poly Culture, it's Hantang Media Group!"

“... Yes, Hantang Media Group, remember to notify me when the development conference will be. ”

"It must be, please also ask He Dong to appreciate the light!"

Out of Poly Group, looking at the sky that was not too blue, Tang An breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's been 5 years, and it's not much different from an ordinary director, not even an assistant team, pretending to be unambitious and at ease with what happens.

However, now there are film and television production, distribution, publicity, advertising, and theaters, all of which are available, and the sky is high from now on!

However, there are still a lot of things to do, and the personnel and business of the new company will have to be readjusted.

Fortunately, Poly has already helped to separate the Poly culture, otherwise it will take a lot of effort.

During this time, the entertainment industry has been noisy, I don't know how many calls come in every day, and the mailbox is almost full.

As soon as he left the Poly Building, dozens of reporters who had been waiting for a long time had already surrounded him.

However, Tang An was not in the mood to be interviewed at this time, and got into the car under the protection of more than a dozen security guards photographed by Poly.
