In a courtyard club in Xicheng District, Tang An met Han Sanping.

This is still since the premiere of "Interstellar", Tang An has only seen Han Sanping for the first time in a month.

"Han Dong, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have something to worry about lately. ”

After drinking two glasses first, Tang An saw that Han Sanping's complexion was not very good.

Han Sanping shook his head and smiled, "Busy with the handover, the two companies have a lot of things, and it is estimated that they will be idle next year." ”

Although any large company is not supported by one person, without the CEO above, the company will still turn.

However, the positions of the chairmen of China Film Group and China Film Co., Ltd. involve too much, not only the internal affairs of China Film, but also the intertwined ones, and it will not be possible to get a smooth handover in a while.

Tang An nodded, and asked again, "Dong Han, how will the business of China Film Group and China Film Co., Ltd. be divided in the future?"

China Film Group and China Film Co., Ltd. are two companies, and the latter was established for listing.

As early as 2005, China Film Group planned to integrate its high-quality assets to list in Hong Kong, but in the end, the listing plan fell through due to the country's decision to restrict foreign investment in the mainland's media and entertainment industries.

In 2007, China Film Group restarted the call for IPO, but in the end it did not work, and it was postponed again and again

The restrictions on overseas capital in the cultural media industry are too great, and in the past, Warner was forced to withdraw from the Warner Wanda Cinema Line, which made Wanda pick up a big bargain.

China Film Group wanted to go public in Xiangjiang because it was delayed because of similar things, otherwise it would have been listed long ago.

In the future, Canxing Productions, the largest variety show production company in China, cannot be listed due to the major shareholder behind it, the media giant News Group.

The program production company that produced "The Voice" was even valued at 21 billion at the time of its IPO five years later, making it the largest and most professional variety show production company in China.

Originally, in the past two years, Canxing Productions planned to prepare for listing, and even in response to the policy, Canxing Production planned to separate Dream Qiangyin, which is responsible for the artist management, brand management and Internet derivative business division of "The Voice", and went public in Xiangjiang with the parent company News Group.

And Canxing Production stayed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to be listed, taking advantage of the loopholes in the policy.

But I don't know how it still didn't work out, and next year News Corp withdrew and management took over.

Another shareholder, Modu Media Group, became the biggest winner, and the management went out of the Group.

Foreign investors have worked hard to build the company, but when it comes to harvesting, they have no share.

China Film Group was not listed for various reasons, so it joined forces with Gehua Cable, Xiangnan Television and Radio, Jiangning Radio and Television, International Television Corporation, Changying Group, Unicom, and CCTV Media to establish China Film Co., Ltd.

China Film Group holds 93% of the shares, and each of the other 1% has launched a listing plan, but it is not the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but it is on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

It is very important how much business has been divested by China Film Group and how much the company has injected into China Film shares, and what is the future positioning of the two companies.

Han Sanping pondered for a moment, looked at Tang An, and did not hide it.

"China Film Group retains import and export branches, film and television bases, film equipment companies, production branches, marketing branches, and distribution and projection branches all injected into China Film shares. ”

...

This is production, distribution, and marketing, although the theater chain is a controlling company, but it is all operated independently.

It is equivalent to that in addition to the film and television base and the introduction of film rights, all other businesses have been injected into China Film shares.

China Film Group is going to retreat behind the scenes and change China Film shares to power.

Although China Film Group holds 93% of the shares, it is nominally the majority shareholder of China Film Co., Ltd.

However, the management of China Film Co., Ltd. is appointed by the Optoelectronics and Propaganda Department, and China Film Group does not have absolute control.

What a chicken trouble!

Tang An thought for a while and said, "Then "Heart Flower Road" or should I give up?"

"Heart Flower Road" was originally invested and issued by China Film Co., Ltd., snatching food from the hands of the national character, or when the new official takes office, don't cause a fire.

"It's up to you whether you take it or not, I'll take 600 million to the meeting to discuss, it should be able to pass, if you want to open 700 million, take it, it's too risky, I don't want to leave a mess before leaving." Han Sanping shook his head.

Tang An thought about it, it was just business competition, to see who offered the highest price.

If you are afraid of taking risks, don't be blushing when you make money.

By the way, Zhang Ping will serve as the general manager of China Film Co., Ltd., and Lin Sheng will serve as the vice president, and concurrently serve as the general manager of the distribution and screening branch. Han Sanping said again.

Before leaving, you have to arrange your cronies, when Han Sanping was still the vice chairman, Lin Sheng was his faction when he was the team leader in the distribution department, and he should also move his position.

Next, Tang An learned about some personnel transfers, and Jiang Defu, general manager of the marketing branch of China Film Group, is still the general manager of the marketing branch of China Film Co., Ltd.

This is Han Sanping's old subordinate in Beijing Film Studio, and he is also Yu Dong's old boss.

When Yu Dong was first assigned to Beijing Film Studio, Jiang Defu served as the director of the publicity and distribution department, and he was Yu Dong's direct boss, and Yu Dong was still under him when he became the section chief.

However, he later went to Wanda Film and Television as the general manager, and then Wanda naturally became a shareholder of Bernard, and all of Bernard's cinemas joined the Wanda Cinema Line.

Among them, what role Yu Dong's old boss Jiang Defu played, it is worth discussing.

Tang An also inquired about the personality and personal preferences of Kang Pei, the new boss of China Film Co., Ltd.

Kang Pei used to be the deputy director of the Film Bureau, and Tang An had a good contact, and he patronized another deputy director, Zhang Hongsen, who had been corrected.

"You will have the opportunity to contact in the future, and you will know when the time comes. Han Sanping waved his hand and didn't say anything.

Tang An didn't ask any more, probably a little understood.

Then he said another topic, "Han Dong, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has been decided to be released during the Spring Festival next year?"

Han Sanping nodded, "It's confirmed, but Xinghao is the main control of the distribution, so we just cooperate." ”

"It's a bit difficult to do, "Detective Chinatown" will go to Singapore to shoot in a week, and I originally wanted to be released in time for the Spring Festival, you know, I plan to spin off "Tang Detective" separately to make a series, and the embarrassing series will be released every Spring Festival every year. Tang An said with some embarrassment.

"The Spring Festival file can accommodate two billion-level movies. Han Sanping didn't say anything.

"But the two movies "Aomen Fengyun" and "Where Did You Go Dad" will also be released during the Spring Festival, "Macau Fengyun" should be a gambling film, and it will definitely be promoted under the banner of "God of Gamblers 3", "Where Did You Go Dad" variety show is too popular again, plus "Tang Detective", it will be too crowded. ”

When "Aomen Fengyun" is released, it will definitely follow the name promotion of "God of Gamblers", as long as Yu Dong is not stupid, he will not let go of this good opportunity to sell his feelings.

As for "Where Did Dad Go", it's hard to say, variety shows and movies are two different things after all.

The three blockbusters are a little crowded, and the Spring Festival stalls are concentrated in the outbreak period of only seven or eight days, once the holiday is over, the box office is inevitable, and it is difficult to have a chance to make a later effort.

Three blockbusters, then all three parties will be affected during the holidays, which is not good for anyone.

However, since Tang An took the initiative to mention it, Han Sanping waited for him to continue.

Tang An didn't hide it, smiled, and said directly, "Han Dong, I don't want to be unpopular with anyone at that time, I thought about it for a while, and planned to put "Detective Chinatown" in next year's New Year's file, or the Spring Festival file in 15, and "The Return of the Great Sage" in the Spring Festival in 14, just borrowing the east wind of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" to drink soup behind Zhongying, what do you think?"

Before Tang An finished speaking, Han Sanping was slightly surprised.

Take the initiative to give up the Spring Festival stalls and move it back a year, what is this?

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Han Sanping.

Tang An joked, "It's nothing to be a year late, I don't want to offend you." ”

Han Sanping shook his head, where is this because he doesn't want to offend himself, he doesn't want to offend Kangpei.

"Well, at the film industry seminar in early September, Compex will come on behalf of the Film Bureau, and then you can take the time to come and say it yourself. ”

"Okay, I'll definitely go when the time comes. ”

In order to sell well for Compek's new appointment, he took the initiative to withdraw the sequel to the billion-dollar blockbuster "Tang Detective 2", which gave enough face.

As for the time when "The Return of the Great Sage" explodes and accidentally overwhelms "Havoc in Heaven", then Tang An can't be blamed, after all, no one would have thought that this film would break out.

Compared with "Tang Detective 2", people are definitely willing to face "The Great Sage Returns".

Besides, China Film Co., Ltd. does not invest much in "Havoc in Heaven", nor is it the main control distribution, so it will never lose money.

When the time comes, you can only blame the movie for being so bad!

After getting down to business, eat, drink, and chat.

Tang An vaguely said that even if Han Sanping retreated, he would still stand in the same line with him.

It is not uncommon for people to go to tea and cool it anywhere, whether it is in politics or state-owned enterprises.

Some people can still maintain a lot of influence after retiring, and some people have become ordinary old people, others are ostensibly providing for you, and once something happens, it is normal to ignore you at all.

Han Sanping has retired, he has no real power, except for a few hardcore old subordinates, he needs more support to maintain his status in the Chinese film and television industry, instead of becoming a mascot.

Tang An also needs official relations, in addition to the director of the film bureau who has always been in contact, China Film shares cannot be left behind.

Kang Pei's attitude is unclear, there is no contact, the general manager Zhang Ping is still an old subordinate of Uncle Zhao Wei, and he is not a friend, which requires Han Sanping's reputation!

Of course, Tang An still owes him a lot of favors.

Mutual benefit.

......

Next, China Film and Beijing Tourism Culture teamed up to offer a guarantee of 600 million yuan for "Heart Flower Road", and Tang An pushed the price to 700 million yuan and won the project.

Then "Beijing Love Story" has also been discussing distribution matters with investors such as Chen Shicheng, Wanda, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The guarantee of 150 million yuan was rejected, and the increase to 200 million was also rejected, until the high price of 300 million yuan was offered, and Wanda and other investors began to quarrel.

The films produced by large companies themselves generally do not do guaranteed distribution, because they have a good distribution and publicity system and can control the risks by themselves.

Even if it reaches 300 million, Wanda wants to issue it by itself.

But other investors have quit, only more than 3,000 points of cost, and if they guarantee 300 million yuan, they can recover the cost now and make a lot of money.

If you wait until the movie is screened, it is not fair to say whether it can sell so much, and there is still half a year before the release, and in half a year, these tens of millions of investments will make more money.

Ye Yan now hates Tang An to death in his heart, such a film has a guarantee of 300 million, which is completely destroying the market and malicious competition!

and that "Heart Flower Road" dares to open a 700 million guarantee, and he is not afraid of death!
