Chapter 866: A Bit of a Voice
It has been six years since the first film and television company in the mainland went public, and Huayi was the first to eat crabs, up to Erwang, down to its artists, all of them were full of oil.
Tang An is also one of the beneficiaries of this feast, with an investment of 12 million in exchange for nearly 300 million, he has accumulated enough original capital to eat Baoli Culture in one bite, and with Baoli Culture and its Oriental Shenlong Pictures, he has gained a firm foothold on the express train of the domestic film industry.
Otherwise, it would not be so fast to make that little money just by making movies.
Immediately afterwards, Bernard, Guangxian, Xingmei, and CTI were listed one after another, except for Bernard, who was not accustomed to the US stock market, they were all great successes.
As the leader of the domestic film and television industry, China Film sought to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as early as 2004, but due to policy reasons at that time, foreign investment was restricted from entering the media industry, which was unsuccessful.
After the policy was loosened, in 2007, China Film restarted the listing plan again, but due to the impact of the financial crisis, it ran aground again.
In 2010, China Film cooperated with China Television Corporation, CCTV Media, Changying Group, Jiangning Radio and Television, Gehua Cable, Xiangnan Television and Radio Media, Huaguo Unicom, and eight giants jointly established China Film Co., Ltd., which once again impacted the capital market.
But in the end, it didn't work, and during Han Sanping's tenure, he never led China Film to impact the capital market.
This year, it has been eleven years since China Film first sought to go public, and China Film shares are finally going public.
Early in the morning, most of the high-level executives of the entertainment industry gathered at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which became a red carpet show.
Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Jiang Defu, and others came early.
"Kang Dong, congratulations. ”
"Congratulations to Kang Dong and I wish China Film a smooth listing. ”
"The limit is not to run, it depends on how much time it takes. ”
"Five minutes at most!"
"Now film and television stocks are hot, it is estimated that the limit will be limited within three minutes, and after several consecutive daily limits, it is expected to hit the first stock of film and television. ”
Everyone said some words of blessing with smiles on their faces, whether it was Jiang Defu, who left China Film because of Kangpei, or Wang Zhongjun, who had just been replaced by Wanda Film as the first stock of film and television, there was no sense of crisis at this time.
If it had been listed two years earlier, China Film would definitely have the ability to compete for the first share of film and television, but this time is not good for China Film.
China Film's annual revenue is more than any film and television company, but there are as many as 160 second- and third-level subsidiaries and branches, which are too bloated as a whole, and China Film itself is formed by the merger of a group of companies, and the whole industry chain is pieced together.
The annual revenue far exceeds that of any company, and the profit is second only to Hantang Media, but the gross profit margin is far less than that of Huayi, Wanda, Guangxian, and CTI.
In 2012, the signing of the "Sino-US Film Memorandum of Understanding" raised the share of imported films to 25%, and China Film's profits fell a lot that year.
Moreover, in the middle of last year, a new agreement was signed, and China Film Co., Ltd. still retains the distribution business of imported films, but China Film no longer entrusts China Film Co., Ltd. to engage in the specific business of imported films, and 1.5% of the total box office of imported films and the management fee for buying out films were recovered by China Film.
It is equal to a part of the profits of imported films and batches of films directly taken away by China Film, 1.5% of the box office revenue, which is not a small amount, the total box office of imported films this year reached 160, and 1.5% is 240 million.
There are two aspects to the profit of imported films, the first is to remove the 25% of the film company and the share of theaters and theaters, and the rest of the distribution share, and the other is this 1.5%.
The profit of 240 million was taken away, and the profit of China Film Co., Ltd. fell by at least 20% this year.
As for the management fee for the buyout film, it is equivalent to an index fee, and each buyout film needs to be issued by China Film, whether it is bought out or not, a sum of money must be charged.
Although ordinary people don't know much about these, for senior shareholders, especially those who have been paying attention to China Film shares, they will not be unaware.
Why didn't Kang Pei know that the 1.5% share of the box office of the account-sharing film and the management fee for the batch of films, he didn't want to be taken back by China Film.
But there was no way, I didn't keep it.
After saying some flattering words, the topic turned to Tang An again.
Fan Luyuan was the first to speak, "Everyone, the failure of the National Day file and the Chinese New Year file is mainly due to poor preparation, lack of sufficient weight of the movie, the next Spring Festival file is the best opportunity, Han Tang gave "The Mermaid" a sky-high price guarantee of 2.6 billion, after the Spring Festival, Han Tang Pictures went public, as long as it does not meet expectations, or even the gap is too big, it will definitely cause a heavy blow to the listing of Han Tang Pictures." ”
Blaming the defeat on a lack of preparation masks the shadow of failure.
is indeed underprepared, after all, when they were ready to cooperate, this year's movie had already been set.
Wang Zhongjun nodded and said, "What Fan Dong said is right, it is definitely not easy for "Mermaid" to get a box office of 2.6 billion in the fiercely competitive Spring Festival!"
The listing of China Film shares does not threaten Huayi and Wanda, but once Hantang Pictures is listed, it will be difficult to say.
In addition to "Mermaid", there are three heavyweight movies released in the Spring Festival file: "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", "Aomen Fengyun 3", and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Qingming Sword", and "Kung Fu Panda 3" will also be released the week before.
Although five blockbusters were released at the same time, "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" was not issued by China Film Co., Ltd.
The last "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" brought together the combination of two superstars and Donnie Yen, and also lost to Sanwu's "The Return of the Great Sage", which made Xinghao disappointed in China Film Co., Ltd., so this time it was released separately by Xinghao's An Quartzona .
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Underworld" was issued by China Film and has nothing to do with China Film shares.
Although they want to deal with Han and Tang, they will not let their films kill each other and suffer losses, and the resources of the eight major companies only need to be concentrated on "Aomen Fengyun" and "Kung Fu Panda 3", and of course they will get certain benefits.
However, "Mermaid" also has the investment of Ah Tanuki and Guangxian, although it is sold with a guarantee and it will not lose money, but the two of them will not hack the movie they invested in at that time.
Even they think that in the absence of film scheduling and such great competition, there is no need to do anything else, and the box office is destined to reach 2.6 billion.
Once the guarantee is not reached, it is time to frantically grasp a bit of hype when it is close to listing.
A few of them were talking here with great interest, and not long after, there was a noise outside, it was Tang An coming.
Not only Tang An, but also the big directors and first-line stars of Hantang have arrived.
At the entrance, a team of more than a dozen people was surrounded by reporters, as if they were the protagonists.
There are also many other stars and famous directors who came to the scene, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang came, but none of them came as neatly as Han Tang.
"Tang An, this is to bring all the people with heads and faces in Han and Tang. ”
Some of the guests present sighed in their hearts.
"Is this a demonstration?"
Looking at the directors with box office guarantees, and the popular first-line stars, they walked in after a short interview under the leadership of Tang An, and Fan Luyuan didn't know whether they should come forward to greet them.
However, Campey is the host, and Tang An is a guest or a distinguished guest.
Even if it is superficial work, it should be greeted and immediately smiled.
As soon as Campey moved, the others followed.
There is such an equally classic line in a classic TV series: If you can't kill me with one shot, let me come back to life, we can still do business.
Kang Pei and the other CEOs of the seven major companies greeted Tang An, and others followed, and Tang An on the other side also led people to this side.
"Welcome to Tang Dong!"
Kangpei smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang An, who also smiled and reached out to shake it.
"Congratulations to Dong Kang, I'm ready today, just waiting to buy some stocks, so I can make a small profit." ”
"Haha, then thank you Tang Dong!"
They each smiled and said hello, and in the eyes of many guests from inside and outside the industry, the scene was harmonious.
However, there is a group of people standing behind the two, and if the background and costumes are changed, it is really like a black and astringent negotiation.
Tang An made a rare high-profile this time, and brought people to China Film on the occasion of its listing... It's not about smashing the field, it's just about showing off your muscles.
This lineup of actors and directors, compared with the achievements of recent years, can beat all the artists and directors under the eight major companies!
