Chapter 584: The First Positive Contact with Ma Yun!(The Second Subscription Requests!)
The Chinese New Year is over, and 2013 has arrived.
A year has passed, and it is time for major companies to take stock and summarize the gains and losses of the past year.
Some people are happy and some are sad, Huayi Brothers has just experienced the box office fiasco of "1942", the stock fell by nearly 20%, and the market value evaporated by 2 billion.
However, with the box office success of "Zodiac", the downward trend has finally stopped.
Wang Zhongjun finally put his mind at ease, he was even more nervous before the release of "Zodiac" than when "1942" was released.
If "Zodiac" pounces again, the consequences are unimaginable.
Fortunately, 25 days after its release, the box office has broken 800 million, and Huayi's market value has also returned to 9 billion, and it is still rising as it gets closer and closer to one billion.
It is foreseeable that as long as the box office exceeds one billion, it is possible to rush to the 10 billion mark.
"1942" hit the box office, which also made Wang Zhongjun more and more vigilant about the Spring Festival.
Feng Xiaogang pounced, then I'm afraid that except for Tang An, no director dared to pack tickets and say that he would definitely be able to sell well.
held a morning meeting to fully prepare for the release of "Journey to the West".
At the same time, "Zodiac", which is being released, has not been put down.
"In any case, we must ensure that the box office of "Zodiac" exceeds one billion, go to talk to the theater chain, reduce the follow-up share, and ensure that it reaches one billion!"
Wang Zhongjun commanded with a serious face.
One billion is a watershed, and there are only five in China, and they are all produced by Hantang Media.
If Huayi can produce and distribute a billion-level movie, the influence will be absolutely extraordinary.
broke one billion, created a wave of momentum, and stabilized the market value at more than 10 billion or even higher in one fell swoop.
Now the shareholders and speculators who hold Huayi shares are waiting to break one billion, and once it is not reached, it is likely to have a big impact.
"The production department is ready to cooperate with Director Feng to prepare for the next movie, and Wang Yan is already working on re-polishing the book of "Aristocrat" in 08, and there will be absolutely no problems this time!"
This year has been regarded as a failure, the "Tai Chi" series hit the street, "1942" hit the street, and only one "Zodiac" succeeded, making last year's financial report look a little better.
When the Wang brothers returned to the chairman's office, Wang Zhongjun still looked sad.
Wang Zhonglei thought he was worried about the company's next project, so he persuaded, "Big brother, don't worry too much, "Journey to the West" has a great chance of winning against "Hong Kong", and Zhou Xingchi is also a genuine king of comedy.
Feng Xiaogang's "Aristocrat" this time is a comedy, and if the cost is controlled, maybe the cost of advertising placement will be recovered, and this year there is Xu Ke's "Di Renjie". ”
"That's not what I'm worried about. ”
Wang Zhongjun shook his head, Feng Xiaogang failed this disaster theme, but what he is best at is comedy themes, and the movie "Aristocrat" is still Wang Yan's re-polishing of the script, so there is nothing to worry about.
Needless to say, "Di Renjie", Xu Ke's previous "Tongtian Empire" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" were all big hits.
"Zhonglei, haven't you noticed that since Tang An and Chen Guozhang left, the company's film projects have been worse year by year. Wang Zhongjun sighed.
Wang Zhonglei nodded, "It's really too risky to rely on just one Feng Xiaogang, but there are only a few directors who can sell at the box office at the moment, and they can dig and make up for it." ”
"Not only that, Tang Anna has nothing to say, just Chen Guozhang, the films that the company made money in the past few years were all run by him, and there are not a few films in the company's film production that are at a loss, and now in addition to Feng Xiaogang's movies, only one "Dragon and Phoenix" is profitable. Wang Zhongjun said helplessly.
Wang Zhonglei said, "But where to find a top producer, it's impossible for Shi Nansheng from Berner, and Huang Jianxin from China Film can't be invited." ”
Where is the top producer so easy to find, this is not the kind of producer who has a name, from film preparation to post-production, it is even more difficult than a director.
Producers, as the name suggests, oversee the quality of a film, more than just tedious pre-preparation.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, how did you talk to Tenghua?" Wang Zhongjun said something else.
Huayi now not only lacks a top producer who controls the overall situation, but also has few good directors.
In the first two years, I got an H plan, but in addition to Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" and "Zodiac", the sequel to "Love in the City" "Global Love", Feng Delun's "Tai Chi" two-part series, and "Starry Sky" all hit the street.
The remaining "Yang Family General" and "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman" that are still in production Wang Zhongjun has no hope.
The former costume film has no market.
The latter title doesn't seem to be able to sell for money.
There was no director, so Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhonglei to ask Teng Huatao if he had any film projects.
Although "Waiting for the Wind" failed, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is enough to prove Teng Huatao's ability, and it is also the director that Huayi can handle at present.
Wang Zhonglei said, "He is now supervising the TV series "Little Dad", I chatted with him for more than half an hour, and I have no intention of returning to the big screen at all. ”
"Rubbish!"
Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but scold.
Since the failure of "Waiting for the Wind", Teng Huatao's whole person who was hit has been decadent, and he doesn't even have the courage to pick up the guide tube again.
Wang Zhonglei also said with some pity, "It's also that "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is too successful, and he is praised too highly, so he can't accept the failure of "Waiting for the Wind", and the media stepped on it even harder. ”
"Useless things, in vain I went to find his old paper in person in order to keep him, and I left such a waste!"
The more Wang Zhonglei thought about it, the more angry he became, Feng Xiaogang shouldn't be bold, he was bolder than the sky, he just refused to honestly make comedies, wars, earthquakes, disaster movies, what is unpopular.
Teng Huatao, who should have tried boldly, was hit and didn't dare to make a movie.
......
Major companies have their own difficulties, and "Bernard" has invested 100 million in "Big Shanghai", and the box office is estimated to be less than 150 million.
This is all invested by Berner himself, and even if the issuance income is included, he will lose 40 million.
The less than 10 million earned on "The Great Magician" is not enough to lose.
Guangxian is the same, "The Four Famous Catches" made a small profit, and all the losses went to "Tongquetai".
The films of the two major companies that lost money were all starring Zhou Runfa, and the name of box office poison could not be removed.
At the beginning, "The True Color of Heroes" turned box office poison into fairy hair, and now, where to find such a movie!
Xiaoma's side went public after the summer, but "The Great Gold Robbery" was not as expected, and life was not easy, and Ning Hao's new films were going to find others to invest in and release.
However, "The Wind Listener" invested by Great Aim was a great success at the box office, and the TV drama business also developed very well
......
The biggest winner in 2012 is probably Hantang Media, all the movies released within a year have exploded at the box office, the TV series business is also good, and two variety shows have begun to be recorded.
On this day, Tang An was also in a meeting to take stock of last year.
The atmosphere of all company meetings was different, and the meeting room was full of joy.
The business of all departments is very good, and in a bumper year, bonuses and dividends will naturally not be less.
Tang An finally came late, greeted for a while, and directly started the whole.
First of all, I reported the results of the second half of the year.
In terms of movies, the box office of "The Stolen Five Years" was 340 million, and the company invested 70%, plus the 25 million publicity and distribution costs paid, the mainland box office could recover a total of 86 million and make a profit of 51 million.
Baodao is 18 million yuan, and it can be divided into almost 3.5 million.
plus other patch advertising, TV, network copyright, etc., Lin Lin can always get 3 million.
The box office of "Happy Home" is 150 million, and this bad film requires a distribution share of 12 points, plus 1500 publicity costs, and can recover 33 million.
As for "Longling Grotto", it has not yet reached the time of settlement, but the box office is fixed at 1.26 billion.
The distribution share is 126 million, the production income minus 80 million publicity expenses, Wu Ershan's 5% share, Wu Ershan's 30% company, and 223 million income.
A total of 429 million in revenue, patch ads, and other copyrights have been sold for more than 20 million points, and some can get 15 million.
There are also a lot of overseas box offices, with $60 million sold in the global market, nearly $17 million, $6 million for various copyrights, a total of 150 million yuan, and the company took 105 million.
The revenue of 534 million, in addition to the production cost of 140 million and 80 million publicity, made a profit of 314 million.
There are only two movies, and in terms of TV series, 160 million have been received one after another in the past few months.
In terms of variety shows, it is mainly the original business of Dongfang Fengxing, which is all invested in new variety shows.
820 million in cash, let the finance first repay the loans of "Longling Grotto", "Hong Kong", and several TV series, and the rest plus the original funds on the company's books, there are 550 million, which can have a good year.
After discussing the time and place of the annual meeting, and what activities to do, the meeting ended.
......
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang An came to the Beijing Performing Arts Center to participate in the 2012 Economic Person of the Year Award Ceremony.
Having achieved this, various activities outside of the entertainment industry are always inevitable.
However, Tang An is here to make soy sauce, and the company's size is only more than 10 billion.
In terms of social influence, it is not much.
Quietly eat melons below, and chat with people you know and don't know next to you from time to time.
This year's selection is "Industry as the Mission"

After the awards were awarded, the organizer CCTV also held a dinner to entertain the bigwigs.
The dinner party is a place to walk around and build relationships with each other, and Tang An has also met a lot of people.
After chatting with Rebus for a while, after all, he is also one of the shareholders of Xiaomi.
The banquet lasted until half past nine in the evening, and Tang An had already obtained a bunch of private business cards and was invited to join several clubs.
Just as he was leaving, Ma Yun took him in his mouth.
"Tang Dong, I haven't seen you for a few years, do you have time to chat?"
Tang An was a little surprised, but he still nodded and smiled, "Ma Dong invited, of course I'm free." ”
The first direct contact with Ma Yun, Tang An also wanted to see what he wanted to do.
