Chapter 851: Eight major companies join forces
After resting in the hotel for one night, Tang An came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange next door early the next morning.
At 8:30 the ceremony site was ready, and at 8:40 a.m., all the guests were seated.
As the first stock of the cinema chain, backed by Wanda, it may become the first film and television company with a market value of 100 billion yuan.
At 9:05, the host took the stage and introduced the guests, and then Jiang Defu took the stage to deliver a speech.
Then the deputy secretary of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Dang Wei, made a speech, and Lao Wang and the Shanghai Stock Exchange signed a listing agreement, and the two sides exchanged gifts.
A series of procedures are carried out one after another, and it is only a few minutes before the gong is launched.
Tang An and the CEOs of several giants sat in the audience, waiting for the smooth listing of the first share of the theater chain.
Tang An glanced at the neat giants next to him, tilted his head slightly, and smiled at the two brothers Wang Zhongjun next to him, "Why do you have time to come this time, and the company is fine?"
"I just happened to have time, so I came over. ”
Wang Zhongjun said, "And the market value of Wanda Movies may surpass Huayi, and I am also nervous." ”
Tang An smiled, "Wang Dong doesn't have to worry too much, according to the issue price, even if the limit is not up to 80 billion market value, it depends on the situation after that." ”
The most valuable thing about Wanda movies is the cinema chain, all of which are directly operated theaters, with first-class facilities and equipment, super popularity, high ticket prices and low venue rents, and they are unicorns fed by Wanda with trillions of real estate.
Wanda Film and Television has been established for a short time, and it has been able to get movies in the past year or two, and it still relies on the brand of Wanda.
But even so, unless the shareholders are crazy, there is basically little hope for the current market value of 100 billion.
Wang Zhonglei, who was separated by a position, interjected, "It's a pity that Tang Dong's cinema line was only listed at the end of the year, and if it was a year earlier, the name of the first share of this cinema chain was Hantang Cinema." ”
Tang An shook his head, "How can there be so many ifs, if you want to say if, two months ago, Jinyi Zhujiang should have been the first stock of the theater chain." ”
"Yes, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Wang Zhonglei nodded, smiling inexplicably.
In June, Jinyi Zhujiang was supposed to be listed, but at the last moment of passing the review, he turned his head and was put on a position by a certain department in a certain city.
In the previous prospectus of Jinyi Zhujiang, it was shown that in 2011, a department in a certain city of Jiang was the fifth largest group ticket buyer of Jinyi Zhujiang Cinema Line, with an annual consumption amount of 960,000 yuan.
As soon as the prospectus came out, there was nothing wrong, but at the end of last year, three years later, a few days before the listing was to be passed, the matter was reported by the media.
At that time, a local department had 75 employees, which meant that the average person spent more than 10,000 yuan a year to watch movies.
Netizens like to watch this kind of thing the most, and for a while, that part of the local area has become the "XXX who loves to watch movies" in the mouth of netizens
Immediately afterward, of course, they wanted to claim that the amount was wrong, and sent a lawyer's letter to Jin Yizhujiang, asking for clarification and an apology.
Jinyi Zhujiang also issued a statement, saying that all units including their department and the relevant departmental system consume all year round.
Of course, the other party doesn't admit it, and he watches nearly a million movies a year, so what do the masses think, what do the above think?
So the situation of film consumption in the past 11 years was disclosed, and a total of four educational and popular science films were organized, with a total cost of 13,000 yuan.
Jinyi Zhujiang also couldn't produce relevant contracts and receipts to prove it.
So on the same day, the listing of Jinyi Zhujiang was canceled, but Wanda Film was officially approved.
Jinyi Zhujiang wanted to compete for time and go public before Wanda, but he didn't expect such a show.
The box office data of more than 900,000 yuan is completely a drop in the bucket for the top ten theaters in China, and there is no impact without this amount.
As for whether a certain department and Jinyi Zhujiang did not go through the procedure and went through other means, then only the two of them know.
If it is said that this account has gone through other channels, it is also in the past, after all, the annual spending of nearly one million movie-watching expenses will inevitably spread rumors.
And 2014 is the time when the anti-corruption efforts are at their highest, and everyone is in danger.
What is going on, may only be known to both parties, but it is a fact that Jinyi Zhujiang has been listed on the ground.
You still have to be careful when dealing with the government, formalize it as much as possible, and make fewer famous halls in private, otherwise you won't be justified if you are sold.
......
At 9:35, the gong sounded on time, announcing the official launch of Wanda Films.
The last stock exchange in China is a little different, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is ringing the bell, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange is indeed ringing the gong.
Just like when Huayi was listed, countless shareholders and investors were in front of the computer, and the stock was robbed as soon as the market opened.
With the signboard of Wanda, the success of the listing is inevitable.
Just like ordinary people buy houses, the houses of big developers have to be grabbed even if they are a little more expensive, and the houses of some unknown small developers should be sold slowly.
No, as soon as the stock price was listed, it rose slowly, and it didn't take long for it to be sealed on the daily limit with a rise of 43.98%, with a market value of 71 billion, second only to Huayi, which was in the early 80 billion.
As soon as it is listed, it will break the 100 billion mark if it has four consecutive daily limits in four days.
It's crazy!
Originally, Tang An thought that he would have to wait for at least half an hour, but he didn't expect that the price limit would be increased as soon as it was listed.
But think about the stock market is like this, someone rated the top ten domestic stocks last year, distributed in ten industries, each stock can be scary.
Huayi is one of the god stocks, from a market value of 10 billion to now, it is higher than the lions and DreamWorks combined.
There is also Boss Jia's Le's, the current market value of Youku and Tudou is only close to $4 billion, but Cola's has broken through the $10 billion mark early by relying on the business of smart phones, super TVs, and super cars.
Lay's mobile phones don't sell very well, TVs sell very well, cars... Cars haven't been developed yet.
Can you achieve a market value of tens of billions of dollars by selling TVs?
It's not that Boss Jia has a mouth, only you can blow and flicker, and the money is just a bunch of numbers.
Wanda also bragged, and frequently released rumors before, saying that it was negotiating with the Lions about the acquisition, wanted to take a stake in MGM, and also threatened to control 20% of the global cinema market.
It wants to buy a Hollywood giant and a leading second-tier studio, and also control 20% of the world's theater chain.
20% of the world's cinema chains, what is that concept?
Heaven for it!
Anyway, bragging is not taxed, and shareholders don't need to believe it.
......
After attending the listing ceremony, it was another banquet, and this time there were many large local enterprises in the magic capital.
At the banquet, Tang An chatted with Yu Dong and Wang Changtian sideways, this time their giants plus China Film and Leshi, the boss of the second-tier film and television company, all got together, and even the second-in-command came, it was no accident.
"Looks like something's going on. ”
At the end of the banquet, on the way to Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park for Han and Tang Dynasty literature, Tang An sighed slightly.
Yang Mi, who was staring at the tablet next to him and looking at the stock market, was a little puzzled, "Ah... What's wrong with Brother An, what's going on?"
Tang An smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, you bought Wanda's stock?"
"yes, I've got people to grab a little bit and pay attention to Wanda's situation. ”
Yang Mi said a little excitedly, "Brother An, the stock market makes more money than making movies and television, and the price limit is up and down on the first day, with an increase of nearly 44%, and it is tens of billions a day." ”
To open a small company, it is hard to achieve a valuation of two or three billion yuan after a few years of hard work, and it is really incomparable to the tens of billions of dollars that people have skyrocketed when they go public.
Tang An said, "This kind of barbaric growth will not last long, when the market is getting bigger and bigger, the above will definitely start to introduce a series of policies to guide the development of the industry." ”
The state has been doing this for so many years.
At the beginning, in order to make a certain industry develop as much as possible, there are no restrictions, and when the industry is initially mature, it begins to standardize.
In the next year, the road to capital securitization of film and television companies began to be bumpy, Tang De's acquisition of Aimeishen, Baofeng Technology's acquisition of Straw Bear Pictures all ended in failure, and Zhao Wei's leveraged acquisition of Wanjia Culture was stopped......
The road to make hot money through the capital operation of film and television projects was completely blocked, and capital began to flee.
Although it is still possible to make money by doing a good job in a film and television project, for many capitals, the benefits of the project itself are far from enough, not to mention the risks.
What they need is to put a project, or even a star, to obtain greater benefits through capital operations.
Today's Internet capital can be said to have a much greater appetite than the original coal bosses.
Although the people in the industry have made a lot of money, it is not good for the entire industry in the long run, and the state has begun to intervene.
After controlling the capital, it is necessary to start controlling the content, and the policy is becoming tighter and tighter, strictly controlling idol cultivation and parent-child variety shows, and regulating and planning the total amount, theme and origin of imported overseas audio-visual programs.
It also restricts the remuneration of artists, investigates the responsibility for tax evasion, tightens the management of online audio-visual programs, unifies the standards of video websites and television stations, and uses a ruler online and offline.
All kinds of factors also caused the later industry winter.
In general, it is still good, and it does not have much impact on Han Tang.
Tang An came to Hantang Literature and met with the management, mainly because of the listing next year, and the company itself did not talk much about anything.
Just when Tang An was holding a meeting in Han and Tang literature, in the large conference room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Jiang Defu, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Fan Luyuan, Ren Yuse, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Ping were also in a meeting.
After half a month of tandem, the eight major companies of China Film, Huayi, Bernard, Guangxian, Wanda, Ahri, Tengxun, and Lay's have reached an agreement, and the general cooperation has been negotiated.
As the initiator, Fan Luyuan should lead this cooperation, but in the film and television industry, Ahri Pictures does not have that qualification.
Zhongying is also hindered by its identity, and Huayi is originally suitable for dominance.
However, Wanda Movies is now on the market, and it is certain that the market value will surpass Huayi in a day or two, plus behind Wanda Movies is the entire Vanda, and the weight is enough.
The cooperation plan has been decided after many previous consultations, and this time the contract was signed directly.
Involving eight major companies, more than 10 heavyweight film projects in the next two years.
For each major project, four or five companies work together to maximize the sharing of resources between each other.
The eight major companies control more than half of the domestic theater chains, nearly 60% of the share of online ticket purchases, the strongest publicity and marketing resources, and the best production team.
One by one, the investment, transfer, issuance, and marketing contracts were signed, and all the people breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.
Han Tang was strong enough, so strong that their seven major companies joined forces because of this, temporarily putting aside their past grievances.
Even Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao sat together and talked and laughed, and Han Sanping's old subordinates Jiang Defu and Kang Pei could join forces, even if Kang Pei was behind his departure from China Film Marketing Company.
There is no one who is not excited, Tang An refused Zhang Zhao's cooperation, Zhang Zhao is now eager to see the scene of Tang An's defeat and Han Tang's weakness in the face of their encirclement and suppression.
Wang Zhongjun has also waited for six years, and in 09 Tang An took away a top producer, a big agent, and a popular first-line movie star from Huayi.
Two of the three most important people in the entire Huayi film and television production business left, leaving only one Feng Xiaogang, and since then, except for Feng Xiaogang and Tsui Hark's films, none of them have achieved any decent results, so much so that he focuses on live entertainment.
It can be said that Tang An stepped on Hua Yi and succeeded step by step, but he couldn't do anything about him, and every time they met, they had to talk as if nothing had happened.
In this cooperation between the eight major companies, Wang Zhongjun has absolute confidence. can bite a large piece of meat on Han Tang's body.
Even he has begun to brew, when the time comes, as a successful person, what attitude should he take to face Tang An.
Fan Luyuan and Wang Zhongjun are similar, but Yu Dong and Wang Changtian don't have so many ideas, they have no grievances with Tang An, and even have friendships.
It's just that friendship is friendship, business is business, and they don't want to see a film and television company that is completely above several major companies appear.
has been engaged in the film and television industry since the last century, and they are all veterans of this industry, so it can be said that the film and television industry is the whole of their career, and they are unwilling to condescend to it.
After signing the contract, the respective interests are tied together, which can basically ensure the solidity of this cooperation.
Otherwise, just say it with white teeth, then there is a fart, and maybe someone will drop the chain when the time comes.
Fan Luyuan put down his pen, looked at his results with great satisfaction, and said to everyone, "Everyone, then follow our plan, from now on, everyone will work together in the second half of the year and next year, and there will be a month before the National Day file, this is the first battle, "Charlotte's Troubles", which Hantang Media participated in investing and distributed, was released, and our focus is "Incredible,"
"Incredible" has just won a billion box office starring friends, as well as Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Shenyanglian co-starring, with the east wind of "Pancake Man", success is inevitable.
Although "Charlotte's Troubles" is a well-known drama, and the starring Shen Teng is popular because of the Spring Festival Gala, everyone is very confident.
A drama is a drama, the Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala, can it be the same as a movie, otherwise find Zhao Benshan, Liu Qian, and Feng Mercury to make a movie.
What's more, if you gather the resources of several of them, you will definitely only be stronger than Han Tang!
One company is not the opponent of Hantang, but eight companies have enough high-quality projects and enough resources!
There are only four popular schedules, but only blockbusters can maximize the box office during popular schedules.
And Han Tang occupies two or three all year round, and even occupies the popular schedule throughout the year, compressing the living space of other companies, and they can only fight hard.
Otherwise, it will be released on Qingming and May Day, and drink soup after it.
In the final analysis, the market is not divided enough, either to form a monopoly like Ahri and Tengxun, or to form a melee like takeaway and shared bicycles, and the final winner takes all, or a monopoly.
