Chapter 140: Zero Point Box Office (Third Update)
"Congratulations to Director Tang, the audience has been well received, I chatted with several senior film critics just now, and they are also full of praise for this movie!"
Wang Zhongjun walked over with his artists.
"Director Tang is good!"
Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and others greeted Tang An one after another.
"It's good that you didn't disappoint Wang Dong, if you lose your share of money at that time, you won't be able to bear it!" Tang An laughed.
"Director Tang said with a smile, I haven't worried about this!" Wang Zhongjun said proudly.
After chatting casually for a while, Wang Zhongjun motioned for them to go elsewhere, looked down on both sides, and lowered his voice slightly.
"Director Tang, how did you think about that last time, now that the movie is released, it's time to give me an answer!"
It's so urgent, is it urgent!
Tang An originally thought that Wang Zhongjun was a person who did great things, but he didn't expect that such a little thing would be so uncontrollable.
But after thinking about it, I have also been together with him twice in the past six months, and there is nothing abnormal during this period, why is he suddenly so anxious.
Could it be that something happened to Huayi?
"Dong Wang, have you encountered anything recently?" Tang An asked tentatively.
"It's nothing, it's just that our whole company is looking forward to Director Tang, and there are so many artists in the company who are waiting to film under Director Tang!" Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.
"Dong Wang, you see that my specific box office results are still unknown, and I really don't have the heart to think about this, let's talk about it after a while!" Tang An thought for a while and said.
Wang Zhongjun has also been entangled in trivial matters recently, and last month he and Colombia had negotiated an overseas distribution, with a full copyright package of 10 million US dollars.
It was originally a good thing, two-thirds of the cost was recovered, and the profitability of the film was already a certainty, but it was just a matter of earning more and earning less.
But at this time, Feng Xiaogang found him with the script again.
"Night Banquet" has not yet been released, Feng Xiaogang wants to make another war film, and when he learned that the contract was negotiated, he immediately came to ask for money.
Feng Dacang felt that the old paper had made so much money for you, and he didn't take out some of it to make a new film for the old paper!
Therefore, Wang Zhongjun now urgently needs to find a weighty director to come to the company, at least to make Feng Xiaogang fearful.
Huayi didn't rely on him alone!
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Yu Dong walking towards this side, he still didn't speak.
......
After coping with one stubble after another, as usual, it is still close to pulling relationships and sets.
The dinner lasted more than an hour and ended at almost 11 o'clock.
After sending them all away, Tang An sat directly on the table, took a plate and sandwiched a lot of things, and sat there to eat without any scruples.
From the busy afternoon to now, it is finally time to take a break.
Xu Yanyun sent the guest back from the door, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes when she saw this, "I'm tired, I'll ask someone to move a chair over!"
"No, I'll take two bites and leave!" Tang An waved his hand and said vaguely.
"Drink saliva, don't choke!" Xu Yanyun looked left and right, took a bottle of water, twisted the lid and handed it over.
"Hmm. ”
I took a big sip of water, swallowed the food in my mouth, and burped.
"You can eat something too, I've been standing all afternoon!"
"I'm fine, I changed into flat shoes, I'm not so tired!" Xu Yanyun smiled and shook her head.
The two of them just sat at the table and finished their dinner, leaving the mess waiting for the staff to clean up, and left first.
After getting into the car, Tang An put down the chair and lay down for a while.
"me?"
"Hmm!"
With a sigh, Tang An closed his eyes and slept for a while.
When they arrived at Xu Yanyun's residence, the two took a comfortable shower and went to bed.
Tang An leaned on the head of the bed, Xu Yanyun lay in his arms, his hand gently rubbing through her silk pajamas on her smooth back.
"There are still nearly two hours before the end of the zero hour field, why don't you go to bed first, set the alarm clock, and get up when the time comes!"
Xu Yanyun took Tang An's hand and looked at his tired face.
"I can't wait for the box office at zero o'clock, and I can't sleep a little!" Tang An patted her back and shook his head.
"Then if you don't look at the comments, more than two hours have passed since the premiere, and the news should have come out!"
"There's nothing to see, the reporters and film critics who participated in the premiere have stuffed red envelopes, no one dares to be so blind, most of those audiences are my loyal fans, and you don't have to think about it to know that there are many praises!"
"Then why don't you wait, it's boring, and time flies slowly!"
"Why don't you watch a movie and pass the time!"
Xu Yanyun's eyes suddenly lit up and suggested.
"Watch horror movies, the tense and exciting kind, time flies quickly!"
As he spoke, he was about to get out of bed and flip through the DVD.
Tang An hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile, "You don't want to sleep?"
"That's right!" Xu Yanyun reacted at this time, it was almost early in the morning.
"Or "Shark Beach", I haven't really seen this movie from the audience's point of view, now let's see if there are any shortcomings!" Tang An thought about it and said.
"Okay!"
Xu Yanyun immediately went barefoot to flip through the DVD under the TV cabinet opposite.
In the summer, the silk pajamas are transparent, and they are spicy and short.
This bend, that tense and seductive arc......
Fortunately, Tang Dasheng is not such a vulgar person.
Immovable as a mountain!
"Okay!" Xu Yanyun ran back to the bed with a smile and leaned into Tang An's arms.
Press the remote and the movie starts playing.
After a year, I really don't feel very good when I watch my own movies again.
Except for some things that are not within his control, the overall rhythm is still somewhat lacking.
And the angle of Yang Mi's figure is not in place, and many shots are not very good.
Halfway through the movie, Xu Yanyun suddenly said loudly, "I remember that Yang Mi and Long Xinda's contract is still more than 3 years, will you sign her at that time?"
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Colombia's overseas copyright fees haven't arrived, except for the share of China Film and Huayi, there are still 20 million in the company's account, and there will be a large amount of cash deposited after the painting of "Super Body", I wonder if I want to expand the scale of the company!"
Xu Yanyun hurriedly explained.
"No, then the money can buy some houses around the Third Ring Road, especially the school district house!"
"Then the studio has always maintained this scale?" Xu Yanyun was puzzled.
"Of course not, it's useless to expand the scale now, at most it's just to find a few directors and sign a few stars, without any network resources, and you can't even build a company framework!"
"The money is kept, and I'll be useful around '09. ”
"Do you want to buy it outright?"
"Which company?"
"Poly Huayi!" Tang An didn't hide it from her, and said truthfully.
“......”
Xu Yanyun was stunned, she never thought that Tang An's target would be this giant.
It's too fantastical, even if Tang An's target is Hua Yi, she won't be so surprised.
Huayou Century only spent 35 million yuan to win 51% of Huayi's shares last year, and although most of the cost has been recovered overseas because of "Night Banquet", the market value is only 150 million.
But Xiangjiang's Woori Holdings spent 550 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire a 50% stake in Poly Huayi in February last year, and the two are not the same size at all.
Tang An was unimpressed by Xu Yanyun's surprise, and he said, "I know what you mean, but in two years, Poly Berner will split up with Poly Huayi, and it would be good if Poly Huayi's market value could be left at that time!"
"Last year's merger and acquisition case was just Dong Ping's tricks, and it was just a few repeated mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and cashing out!"
Dong Ping is also a bull, that is, the chairman of Cultural China, which was acquired by Jack Ma, and his cash reserves of only 100 million Hong Kong dollars in 10 years actually acquired 50% of the shares of MSN Huaguo, which was worth 1 billion Hong Kong dollars at that time.
Later, after a series of fancy operations, 60% of the shares of Cultural China were sold to Jack Ma at a price of 6.2 billion.
Then the 21 Holdings, which bought Xu Zheng's box office share of "Hong Kong" for 150 million, is also Dong Ping's.
However, Xu Zheng himself is the second largest shareholder of 21 Holdings......
Capital is able to play, and a series of sassy operations are dazzling.
Poly Huayi is a company reorganized by Poly Culture and Peking University Huayi, and when the time comes, Tang An will see if he can bite a piece of meat, after all, this is a mature media group, and there is a Poly Wanhe Cinema Line.
Its Oriental Shenlong is also a veteran film company, everything is ready-made, and it only needs to spend money.
However, Poly Group was unlucky enough, it was played by Dong Ping, and it was kicked away after being used by Yu Dong......
In the end, when Poly Culture sold the remaining 50% shares of Poly Huayi, the listing price was only 80 million.
After chatting for a while, at two o'clock in the morning, the laptop on the bedside was ready to receive an email.
The box office came out.
820 copies, 820 screenings in the early hours of the morning, more than twice the number of screenings of "Horror Cruise".
And the box office finally relieved Tang An.
Although there is still a long way to go from the box office record set by "Wu Ji", it is enough to satisfy him!
3.2 million!
It's almost three parts of "Horror Cruise"!
PS: I don't understand the capital thing, just take a look, it's too complicated, but Dong Ping is really awesome!
There's one more chapter in the early hours of the morning,!
