Chapter 871: Envy
Just when the entertainment industry was speculating about how much important members of the Hantang family would be able to benefit from the listing of Hantang Pictures, Hantang Pictures also issued a prospectus a week before the listing.
As the biggest giant in the entertainment industry, the listing of Hantang Pictures is definitely one of the most important things in the industry this year.
Hantang Media, Hantang Pictures, the senior executives of these two major groups, as well as important actors and directors of the Hantang Department, have not been asked about this matter.
When the prospectus was announced, most of the industry's attention turned to the dozens of pages of prospectus.
Hantang Film Group has a total share capital of 825 million shares, 82.5 million shares are listed and issued, the issue price is 56 yuan per share, and it is expected to raise 4.6 billion yuan.
After a round of financing, private placement, and a public offering of 82.5 million shares before the IPO, Hantang Media Group still holds 67.4% of the shares of Hantang Film Group.
And what insiders are most concerned about is how much benefit the actors and directors of the Han and Tang dynasties have received, and it has also been announced in front of the public.
The four most important directors of the Han and Tang dynasties, Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Wu Jing, all got 7 million shares.
7 million shares, even according to the issue price, there is 390 million yuan.
Judging from the current market of film and television stocks, as well as Hantang itself, the daily limit on the first day of listing is a certainty, and the only doubt is that it can be limited to several consecutive daily limits.
The real gold and platinum of 390 million, the companies in the film and television industry whose net profit can exceed this number in a year can be counted with both hands, and they were easily obtained by the four directors.
Tang An's generosity exceeded everyone's expectations, Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng both have two billion-dollar box office movies in hand, and among the many domestic directors, except for Tang An, none can surpass the two of them.
I don't know how many companies have contacted them in the past two years, and they are willing to pay liquidated damages and give shares, so to speak, as long as they nod their heads, like Zhou Xingchi, 1 billion bets, several major companies will not hesitate to send them.
Although Ning Hao only has a billion-level movie, he has been favored by the circle since "Crazy Stone", and won a billion box office with non-sequel movies.
Wu Jing was able to get the same shares, which surprised everyone, after all, he had only directed two movies.
Let's not talk about "Wolf Teeth", although "Wolf Warrior" sold 800 million, there is still a gap with Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao.
A newcomer in the director industry, and even in the eyes of many directors, Wu Jing is an amateur, relying on two slogans to fool the audience, and has no other skills.
is such an amateur director, who instantly became a billionaire, and even once Hantang Pictures came to eight consecutive limits, he could become a billionaire.
One billion, there are not many people in the entire industry with a net worth of one billion.
All over the country, some somewhat famous directors are envious and jealous in their hearts.
Feng Xiaogang, who is filming the new film "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" in Chengde, Hebei Province, also read the prospectus released by Hantang Pictures.
This morning, Feng Xiaogang was in no mood for filming.
I have worked hard for so many years, and I haven't saved much money, and I am reluctant to drive a cheaper private jet, and I can't fly a few times a year, that is, I signed a gambling agreement with Huayi to get less than one billion.
It's good now, Wu Ershan and they don't have to bet, and the shares will be worth one billion in a long time.
Although it is not so easy to increase the limit for eight consecutive days, Hantang Pictures may not be able to do it.
Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng are okay, the real results are there, and Ning Hao's ability is obvious to all, but a single Wu Jing can take so much.
Although Feng Xiaogang definitely can't get it, he is jealous, and he can't help but be jealous.
After filming absentmindedly in the morning, and eating with screenwriter Liu Zhenyu and several leading actors at noon, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and there was more or less envy in their tone.
Several major companies have been listed, and it is difficult to get such a sum of money, so we can only focus on those second-tier companies.
Fan Binbin and Zhao Wei invested in Tang De together, and made tens of millions, in today's prevalent gambling, Fan Binbin also wanted to make a profit, so he reached an acquisition case with Tang De, sold 51% of the shares of Emmy Pictures to Tang De at a price of 450 million, and then signed an exclusive agency contract with Emmy God for performing arts brokerage, which is equivalent to binding Tang De.
sold himself to Tang Decai in exchange for 450 million, and he was excited before, but now he looks at Wu Jing and Xu Zheng who may get a billion shares, and they are red-eyed.
Liu Zhenyun could see it, he smiled at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Seven years ago, you took more than 200 million shares of Huayi, and the 200 million at that time is not much less than the current billion. ”
"That's a billion!"
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Don't forget that there is also Forbidden City Media, each of the four of them has 10% of the shares, this company will participate in each of their films, and it is estimated that it will be listed in two years, even if it is only 10 billion market value, one person is 1 billion." ”
This Tang An also made a lot of money for the sake of brushing, Feng Xiaogang even thought for a moment that if he left Huayi back then and partnered with Tang An to start a company, then half of Tang An's net worth should be his own now.
It's just a momentary thought, back then he wished that Tang An would leave quickly, after all, one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and Tang An left to make Feng Xiaogang's position in Huayi more and more stable.
And Fan Binbin heard that there was another billion, and he was even more envious.
However, Tang An values Wu Jing so much, so it is estimated that the prospects of "Wolf Warrior 2" will not be bad.
The Navy's "Operation Red Sea" is a big hit, the Army's "Wolf Warrior" series is a big hit, and when the time comes, the Air Force-themed movie "Air and Space Hunting" that they invested in filming will take advantage of this east wind to sell a billion box office.
Before the movie is released, let's hype about the marriage of the two, as the hero and heroine, the meaning of the movie has deepened again, and it is another gimmick.
......
At the recording site of the new season of Running Man, several actors were also discussing.
As a variety show cooperated by Huayi, Hantang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan, Running Man has stars of Huayi and Hantang in several seasons, and they get along quite well.
The stars of the Han and Tang dynasties have come and gone, from Deng Chao to Xiaodi, and then to Nana, there have been several waves of people, and these people under Huayi are still there.
signed the bet, Deng Kai and Chen He had to weigh it if they wanted to quit, and Li Chen and Yang Ying, who had newly signed the bet, were also added.
As soon as they came in the morning, a few of them grabbed Nana and asked her why she didn't take the shares, and asked about some internal affairs in Hantang.
During this time, Nana has been asked how many shares his boss Deng Chao took, and now that it has been announced, he has come to ask himself again.
"Why can't the old lady get the shares? When I take the initiative to quit running man, I will be qualified!" Nana really wanted to shout out what was in her heart, Yang Ying, who was almost 30 in the show, had already taken up the character of a sweet girl, and he could only pretend to be new every day, and become the object of being teased in various games and activities, if he didn't need this show, he would have wanted to quit a long time ago.
However, in the face of questioning, he could only say again and again that his reputation was still small and his qualifications were not enough.
I couldn't ask any inside stories, and everyone stopped asking.
However, envy is inevitable, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan all got 4 million shares, and among the few people who took the least, Wang Kai took 800,000 shares.
800,000 shares are also 45 million, and after a daily limit, it is 60 million.
As for a few of them, seven or eight people bet against Huayi, adding up to only 700 million, an average of less than 100 million per person, which is still less than 100 million after four years of gambling.
Others are just envious and envious in their hearts, after all, they don't have a chance.
However, Deng Kai was named by Tang An to star in "The Shocking Demon Thieves" in the ladder classroom of the Film Academy that year, but then he failed to get close to Tang An, Tang An took Zhou Shiwei and Deng Chao away when he left, and Zhou Shiwei took Zhao Liying and Wang Kai away, but he didn't bring himself.
Although he knew that he debuted with "Shocking Demon Dao Group", the starting point was very high, and he was focused on training by Huayi, and Zhou Shiwei couldn't take it away, but Deng Kai still felt a pity in his heart.
Now he is desperately taking over the drama for less than 100 million bets, and Deng Chao can't look down on the running man anymore, Xiaodi has been here for a season and left, and many front-line people in the Han and Tang dynasties don't want to come, Deng Chao stuffed Nana from his company, and he is the smallest coffee in the history of the show.
......
Zhou Xingchi, who is far away in Xiangjiang, is also paying attention to the news of the mainland film industry, and he couldn't help but sigh when he learned that Wu Ershan and the shares they got might be worth one billion yuan in the future.
I didn't resist the temptation of the new culture, and took a bet of 1.3 billion, to ensure five years of performance, or I had to pay for it.
And a few of them have no risk, they can only sell for money as soon as the ban period is up.
"The Mermaid", which just sold 3.5 billion, also made a wedding dress for Tang An, and 2.6 billion was guaranteed to sell 3.5 billion at the box office.
Hantang paid 800 million yuan in guarantee fees, 100 million in publicity and distribution fees, and got all the shares of 2.6 billion, and 80% of the next 900 million, a total of 1.43 billion.
1.43 billion, minus the guarantee fee and publicity fee, also earned 530 million, and many producers took 800 million guarantee fee and subtracted 300 million costs, and the theory is only 500 million.
originally thought that he had picked up a big bargain, but he didn't expect Tang An to take half of the profits.
The producer's theory of 500 million yuan was not taken by Zhou Xingci alone, it is equivalent to working for a few years, just working for the capital, people will release it, and the money will be more than three or four years after he is busy.
Zhou Xingchi was very unhappy, just like he was cheated by Hua Yi for 80 million, although he was cheated at that time, Tang An didn't cheat him this time, but the money that belonged to him flew into someone else's pocket.
He doesn't like this, it seems that he has returned to the nineties, working hard, but it is Xiang Huaqiang who has benefited the most.
After "The Mermaid" sold 3.5 billion, his and Xu Ke's "Journey to the West" has also become a huge cake, and any company wants to release it.
"Mermaid" is cheaper than Tang An, this time Zhou Xingchi doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, the guarantee of the outside world has been opened to 2 billion, but he still refused without hesitation.
......
A week after the announcement of the prospectus, the day of Hantang Film Group's listing is also coming.
The day before the listing, Tang An stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel near the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and most of the entertainment industry also gathered near the Shanghai Stock Exchange again.
Wu Wen, CEO of Hantang Literature in the hotel, reported to Tang An some major events after the company's listing.
After a sharp rise in the first few days of listing, Hantang Literature also gradually stabilized, and at this time, other shareholders of the company began to propose a large number of open copyright transfers to stimulate the market.
"No way!"
After listening to the report, Tang An immediately vetoed it.
"You can't do things like killing chickens and taking softness, a large number of first-line big IPs can indeed stimulate the stock price, and we can all make a fortune from it, but once these IPs are made into bad movies after a year or two, the losses will be great, and it will even affect the value of network IP in the future. ”
In the past two years, Tang An has been controlling the progress of film and television on the Internet, and the first-line IP has certain requirements for the producer, and those film and television companies with average production capabilities can't buy the copyright if they have money.
Although it will block the financial path of these famous writers, before the listing of Han and Tang Literature, some shares were also issued to them, ranging from 0.01% to 0.1%.
As for the second- and third-tier IPs, they are much more relaxed.
Even if these IPs pounce on ten, they are not as serious as the consequences of fighting horses.
If it explodes, it will also be good for the industry.
Restricting the sale of IP is not only for the sake of the online literature industry, but also for the film and television industry.
Now that Xiaoxian Meat has become the mainstream of the Internet, it will only get more and more serious in the future.
If this large amount of small fresh meat wants to enter the mainstream entertainment industry, it must pass film and television dramas.
It is impossible for first-line traffic to start with a small supporting role and become the protagonist step by step, in that case, it will not be traffic.
Moreover, the cycle of traffic is short, and it is rare to be popular for two or three years, and the brokerage company and themselves can't wait.
If film and television dramas want to sell well, usually famous actors, famous directors, and IP must have the same.
Although the traffic is famous, it is different from the famous actors, and the general authority of the famous director is relatively large, and the possibility of using the traffic is low.
The best way is to participate in a big IP, even if it is an amateur, or an idol who has just debuted, as long as he stars in a big IP like "Dou Po", his popularity in a short period of time can even overshadow any star.
In the future, these idols will officially enter the film and television industry with IP-adapted film and television dramas, and one by one spicy-eyed TV series will pollute the audience's eyeballs.
The arrival of the traffic era is inevitable, and Tang An can't stop it, but he can choke a shortcut to the film and television industry from traffic, which is somewhat useful.
It is impossible for the company behind these traffic to win the first-line big IP, and the second- and third-tier IP is arbitrary, after all, the author also has to eat, and it is impossible not to let others sell the copyright.
If the second- and third-tier IP is smashed, it will be smashed, if it can become popular, it is also a skill, and if it does not rely on IP to become popular, at least the plot and actors are good, and the traffic that can act well is also a good actor.
Wu Wen also agreed with Tang An's words, he is not that group of capitalists, he is really thinking about this industry.
However, he talked about a special case, "Tang Dong, some time ago, people from Penguin Pictures came here and wanted to buy a big IP, which was prepared for Brother Chen Kai's son, you see?"
Others are okay, but after all, Brother Chen Kai is a director in the film industry, and Wu Wen still let Tang An take the idea.
"Brother Chen Kai, his son?"
Tang An smiled, "Isn't he a director himself, and his son won't hold it himself." ”
