On the sofa in the office, Tang An sat down next to Xu Yanyun, and asked with a smile after listening to her.

"Yan Yun, do you think I'm too radical?"

Xu Yanyun didn't beat around the bush either, and said bluntly, "9 movies, plus your new movie this year, that's 10 films, on average, there must be one every month, and the schedule is a big trouble." ”

"And the distribution rights of these 6 films are all because of the company's outstanding performance in the past two years, and none of the films have failed, in case there are more movies that fail at the box office next year, it is easy for outsiders to question our distribution ability. ”

"I've thought about what you said, these 6 movies are all small-budget movies, and the production cost of "The Wind Listener", which has the largest investment, is 70 million, "Cold War" is 40 million, "Small Times" is 30 million, and "The Five Years That Were Stolen" has been compressed to 15 million. ”

Originally, "Little Times" was actually filmed with two episodes, and it was cut into 4 parts.

After the filming of the last episode, the material was not enough to cut into two movies, but it was edited by time.

The picture is not enough music, the story is not enough to make up the slow-motion MV, and I can always make up the duration of the two movies, and finally the two movies are released.

Originally, the production cost of the first two parts, that is, the first episode, was 44 million, but now it has been changed to three shots, and the production budget of the first part is 30 million.

Not to mention how well it was filmed, at least four were compressed into three, and the plot should be a little tighter...

"The Wind Listener" is a spy war film, and Meiya and Hua Ce smashed into the 70 million production cost.

"Cold War" has a big gunfight scene, and the crew wants to rebuild a viaduct in the downtown area, but they get HTC, Longines... and many other sponsorships, and the production cost is only 40 million.

This is why digital cameras are now used for filmmaking, otherwise five years ago, switching to film would have cost a lot of money.

As for "Fast Ben: Happy Home", the production cost reported by Shonan TV is 20 million, plus the publicity fee, and they can only recover their costs if they have a box office of 80 or 90 million.

But even if it only sold 10 million box office, it can't be blamed on the distributor......

It's really that the movies made before the base camp are too bad at the box office, and the reputation is also poor.

As for the five TV series, they are jointly invested with their studios, other TV stations and TV drama production companies.

Although all aspects have been taken into account, there is no need to put all the pressure on the company, but Xu Yanyun still feels that anything next year is too heavy.

Huayi, which focuses on film and television production, will not have 15 projects next year.

Tang An didn't hide his thoughts, and said bluntly, "Ahri and Tengxun's preparations for a film and television company have officially begun, and I heard that Ahri is looking for a suitable shell listed company, and plans to set up a film and television company and then go public through a backdoor listing." ”

"Baidu is now busy acquiring Aiqiyi, and the establishment of a film and television company is about to begin. ”

"By the end of next year at the latest, the film and television companies under the three major Internet companies will basically have a prototype, and with their channels and capital, they will be able to complete the layout of the entire industrial chain in four years at most, and then we will not be as good as we are now. ”

Tang An's expression was a little serious, and Xu Yanyun then said, "If, as you said, the three of them are really determined to eat the cake of the film and television industry, then why don't you raise financing, as long as there are enough funds in four years, open up online and offline channels, and double or triple the scale of the theater chain, wouldn't there be more capital to compete with Internet giants?"

Tang An smiled, "Who said that I won't raise money, the company's 7 studios can be expanded into a film and television production company." After the division of "The Martian" is settled, each studio will inject 30 million yuan, and next year, in addition to the current five TV series, each studio will produce at least one more film and television drama. ”

These seven studios either have directors like Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan who are box office hits, or there are first-line stars like Liu Ye, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Deng Chao, and Sun Li.

In addition, several high-quality film and television dramas have been produced, and the valuation has gone up in two years.

With the popularity of film and television stocks, it couldn't be easier to attract investment.

When the valuation rises, sell some of the shares, and the seven studios can get a lot of cash.

There are also cinemas, which have invested 500 million yuan to build 100 cinemas, with more than 20 under construction, and can also accelerate the expansion of external financing, just maintain the holdings, and don't let the markets in third-tier cities be preempted by Dadi Cinemas.

After listening to Tang An's plan, Xu Yanyun was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"So you're going to 'raise' the studio so you can sell it for money?"

Your analogy is very appropriate, and that's pretty much what it means, and that's inevitable. 5 first-line stars, so many film and television dramas, and two more can be brought out, plus a large number of second- and third-tier stars, the company can't take care of it at all, and if it doesn't find other capital to join, sooner or later the contract will expire and leave. ”

"When the time comes, it can be listed on the New Third Board, and it is best to be listed on the backdoor. ”

"What about the group, has it always refused to accept financing?"

"It's not to the point where you have to melt in, let's take a look at the overseas box office of "The Martian". ”

"Well, don't forget that the bank owes a lot of money. ”

It is inevitable to use these stars and directors' studios to attract capital, the 5 first-line stars, there will be more in the future, even Tengxun can't eat it, it can't always be like now, unless they don't pursue it.

Hantang Media does not need financing, there is no shortage of money and no lack of channels, even BAT will take at least three or four years to complete the encirclement of the media industry, and there is still time.

The network has not developed fast enough, not to the extent that it will be four or five years later, and BAT is now rich and has no problem.

But its studios must, like the later Yang Mi Studio, it is impossible to achieve a market value of 5 billion and rely on her as a first-line star.

Jiahang Media accepted the financing of Shangroom Pictures after buying a shell of the New Third Board for 20 million yuan, and behind Shangroom is Oriental Pearl Media, which has a market value of nearly 100 billion.

The 7 studios, with the support of Hantang Media, have been able to attract financing from several large media companies, not only making money, but also finding a partner for themselves.

In the afternoon and evening, Tang An found Zhou Shiwei, Zhou Jia, Chang Jihong and others respectively, asking them to expand the studio, establish a film and television production department, and sign some newcomers to various film and television schools.

After spending a whole day dealing with things, on the morning of Thursday, January 5, Tang An took the crew to the United States by plane.

I left on the morning of the 5th, and when I arrived, it was also the morning of the 5th, and it seemed that the time had never changed.

Zhang Yi, head of the North American distribution department, and Twentieth Century Fox, a vice president in charge of international theatrical distribution, received the reception.

"Hello Mr. Jami. ”

"Hello Mr. Tang, welcome to the United States. ”

After a while, I went to a hotel near the premiere theater.

It will be officially released tomorrow, premiere tonight, and there will be no screenings in advance.

Zhao Yilai, head of the North American distribution department, reported on the film's release tomorrow.

In response to the success of "Edge of Tomorrow" and Wendy Dun's strong support, "The Martian" opened in 2,200 theaters on the second weekend after Christmas.

After a day of rest in the hotel, I went out to the theater at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

However, as soon as the car arrived at the theater, there were many people around the door, and two people were holding a banner, looking more excited, and the theater security was maintaining order.

Tang An looked carefully at the words on the banner, frowned, and then chuckled.

"The people of the United States don't seem to welcome me!"

PS: The third watch is sent, good night everyone.

Many readers say that BAT's monopoly, and I have thought about it, but now the book is only in early 2012, the Internet has not been fully developed, and BAT is still developing rapidly in 16-18 years, and there are still several years to complete the layout.

Of course, I don't know much about it, and I'm a dick on the street......
