Chapter 649: The Crazy Entertainment Industry!(First More Subscription!)
The summer of 2013 has come to an end, and "Interstellar" is getting closer and closer to the 2 billion box office.
"Wolf Warrior" was also released for four weeks, and won a super high box office of 645 million in 25 days, ranking second at the summer box office.
and the domestic blockbuster "Pacific Rim", the box office reached 640 million in one month after its release, and the mainland box office alone approached 100 million US dollars.
At the same time, this is also the first A-level production in the mainland film market to surpass the North American box office at the domestic box office!
At a historic moment, a big production with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan, the domestic box office is even higher than the North American box office!
"Pacific Rim", which originally failed at the local box office in North America, became a profitable film because of the domestic box office, and it can be said that the domestic market has saved this A-level production!
"Iron Man 3" broke 700 million, "Pacific Rim" broke 600 million, and two Hollywood movies worth $100 million were born in the domestic market within a year, which is already a market that cannot be ignored for Hollywood studios.
In addition to the two films with a box office of 600 million, the domestic adventure blockbuster "Notes on Tomb Robbery" won a box office of 569 million after more than a month of screening.
Thanks to the sharing of the two points higher, even if the trend of "Tomb Robbery Notes" is not very good, it has maintained a lot of film scheduling.
The higher the score, the less box office will be stolen.
The Hollywood blockbuster "Vegetarian Chicken 6" failed to break 400 million at the box office, and "Superman: Man of Steel" won 350 million at the box office.
There are just a few more than 300 million, "Return to Earth" won 180 million, and "White House Fall" 145 million.
"One Night Surprise" starring Fan Binbin got a box office of 151 million in three weeks after its release, and the results were good.
Originally, it was 40 million in the first three days, and 90 million in a single week in the second week, the trend was so good, I thought that there was another blockbuster, and Fan Binbin's monoclonal antibody ability was about to explode.
As a result, there were only 21 million in a single week in the third week, which was deflated, and the box office was like that.
During the early publicity, there were all kinds of "exposure of "One Night Surprise" Fan Binbin's large-scale bed scene", "deleted version of the bed scene exposed", and "Fan Binbin's passion clip".
The first two weeks were a little useful, attracting a lot of viewers, but it didn't work in the end.
It's still a bit useful to rely on passion dramas to attract audiences, Guang Xian is the most slippery, and several small and medium-cost movies are supported by female stars selling meat.
There are only a few movies that have exceeded 100 million in the summer, but movies such as "Guild Wars", "Daming Gorilla", and "Monsters University" still have the possibility of breaking 100 million.
"Jurassic Park", which was released for 6 days, won 200 million box office in six days, and it is certain that it will break 300 million, as for how far it can go, it depends on the next trend
Finish.
This year's summer file has "Interstellar", a hit with a box office of nearly 2 billion, and in the three months from June to August, the domestic market has exploded with a huge box office of more than 8 billion.
8 billion, successively refreshed the first-day, single-day, single-week, and single-month box office records in the domestic market, and is worthy of the name of the first popular schedule.
At the end of August, the lively summer season is coming to an end, and it is time for major companies to accept and harvest fruits.
Tang An returned to China with jet lag, and the next day he threw himself into work again.
In the large conference room of the group, the senior executives above the major branches and group directors have arrived.
"You have worked hard, you have been busy for a summer vacation, and all companies have achieved remarkable results, thank you for your hard work during this time. ”
Say a few words of greeting, go straight to the point, there are many things to do today.
Tang An first looked at Cheng Hai, the distribution director, and asked, "Mr. Cheng, when will the division of "Interstellar" come down?"
Generally, if the division of the film is slow, it can take three or four months to come down, but Hantang Media was originally the distributor, and it was a very strong distributor, and now it has been released for a month and a half, and it is already the end of August, so you can settle a part of it first.
Cheng Hai replied, "The box office has been settled before Sunday, August 4th, and it is estimated that it will come down in two days." ”
"Supervise and get the money over as soon as possible. ”
Before August 4th, it seemed to be 1.785 billion, Tang An raised two points of sharing, 803 million in hand, plus 50 million subsidies for 3D or giant screen movies with a box office of more than 500 million, that is 853 million.
It cost more than 1 billion points to acquire three companies before, 300 million overseas copyright income, plus the money on the group's account, and nearly 5 billion in cash.
Overseas box office revenue should be more than 400 million and nearly 500 million
However, there are still 3.3 billion loans, how should this money be spent and summed up.
However, the primary target is the acquisition of Weibo, Tang An looked at Wu Feng.
"Mr. Wu, what's going on over there?"
"Chairman, there are still some details left, the overall is that we will acquire 7% of Weibo's shares for 1.477 billion, and Ahri took 12% of the shares to become the second largest shareholder, and then in the next few years, we can expand the shares to 15% at most, and Ahri is 20%. ”
According to the purchase price, Weibo's valuation is about 21 billion, which is not as good as a UC.
Weibo was at this price a year ago, and Weibo has taken a lot of detours for more than a year.
Winning 7% of the shares, plus the previous 1%, that is the third largest shareholder, much more than the management headed by Cao Guowei, it is enough.
The specific details will be reported separately later, and the various companies under its umbrella have made new progress.
The first is the life service platform Nuomi.com, which was valued at less than one billion yuan when it was originally taken from Renren.com, and after nearly a year of development, it injected 150 million yuan, even if the ticketing business was divested, the valuation has soared to nearly 3 billion yuan.
It seems quite high, but in fact, if there is no deviation, Meituan's valuation will be as high as $3 billion in May next year.
There is also a public comment, and now the valuation is also higher than that of Nuomi.com.
As for Ele.me, there's no comparison yet.
But everyone is in the initial stage, and even if Meituan is leading now, no one knows when it will fall behind.
Emerging industries, the fastest growing, as long as there is money, channels and traffic, it is not difficult to catch up.
The three Internet giants have already set their sights on this piece, and Ahri has already led the investment in Meituan, although Meituan has then thrown itself into the arms of Tengxun, and Ahli has switched to Eleme.
But now that Meituan and Ah Lik haven't broken up, Tengxun is naturally eyeing Nuomi.com.
Baidu is the same, he also fell in love with the glutinous rice net, and as for Eleme, who was still a little brother, he was disgusted.
"Received investment from Tengxun and IDG Capital, and raised $80 million in Series B. ”
Looking at the top domestic VCs on the list, Tang An finally chose IDG Capital and Tengxun instead of Sequoia Capital and Baidu, which seemed to be more sincere.
80 million, according to the valuation of 3 billion yuan, will directly give up nearly 15% of the shares, which is already a large amount of financing at present.
Wu Feng, an expert in investment, was a little puzzled, "Chairman, is 80 million too much, and 50 million in Series B should be enough." ”
Tang An shook his head, "50 million is not enough, in addition to takeout, Nuomi.com has lagged behind Meituan and Dianping in terms of hotel tourism and door-to-door dining." ”
"In addition, the acquisition of a suitable payment license also requires capital. ”
"Pay by yourself? ”
"Let's go and prepare first, and then I'll talk to Ma Dong. Tang An shook his head and made a decision.
Tang An is not a professional in this aspect, so follow the path of the successful.
Nuomi.com was supported by Renren before, if it weren't for the development of the life service platform, I'm afraid it would have been killed long ago.
Now it is time to accelerate, to accelerate in all directions.
With Tang An in general, you can take a lot of detours, and it is not a problem to catch up with Meituan.
Otherwise, when Meituan acquires Dianping, there will be no play.
As for Nuomi.com's acquisition of Dianping, capital is one aspect, mainly because the merger and acquisition between Meituan and Dianping was facilitated by their common share, Sequoia Capital, so Tang An did not accept Sequoia Capital's financing and found another top VC, DG Capital.
As for Ele.me, he has never been an opponent, and the name Ele.me has limited his development, so he can only do takeaway.
Doing its own payment business and extending it to the financial industry is Meituan's way.
Teng Xun is not like Ah Ah Tanuki, Ma Huateng will not have an opinion, otherwise Meituan would not have turned against Ah Tanuki because he wanted to do payment business, and Teng Xun took over.
The management model of the company under Ahri and Tengxun is different, and the companies under Ahri will be integrated into the Ahri system, and there is no independence.
Tengxun only cares about the user's side, and he asks each company to serve its users together, and give the user's service interface an experience stick. As for the optimization of resources in the back, it doesn't really care how you play.
In comparison, Jackma is more domineering.
Payment is not something you can do if you want to, you have to have a license from the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and Meituan was reported to the China Banking Regulatory Commission with real names without a license at the beginning.
The meeting went on very quickly, and noon passed.
In addition to the financing of Nuomi.com, the cinema chain once again accepted the financing of China Resources Real Estate.
The A round of cinemas accepted the financing of CITIC and gave up 9.1% of the shares, and this round B received 300 million investment from China Resources, one of the top ten real estate companies in the country, and gave up 9.68% of the shares, and the group still has 82.1% of the shares, with a valuation of 3.1 billion yuan, and has 180 directly operated and franchised theaters, more than a dozen more than Wanda.
However, Wanda is a luxury cinema, with an average of 8.7 screens per cinema, while the Hantang Cinema Line averages 5.5 screens per cinema.
Xingmei has more than 360 theaters, with an average of only 4.7 screens per theater.
China Resources Real Estate is not as good as Wanke, Hengda and Greenland, but the other party will build a commercial center in the MixC in every city in the country, and promises to give priority to the introduction of Hantang Cinema.
There are far more things to deal with than that, and the management structure of the group's major companies and the group itself needs to be reorganized.
Finally, the distribution department reported on some of the subsequent operations.
"Chairman, in addition to these films, director He Yu's "Gardenia Blossoms", the corner of the film quoted a guaranteed amount of 450 million, which is a little 500 million higher than ours, and the investor is still waiting for our reply, do you want to offer?"
"No, let the 450 million be taken by the corner film. Tang An shook his head.
Cheng Hai, the distribution director, said, "In addition, due to the shortage of funds, Pony Galloping did not win the distribution rights of "Taiping Wheel" cooperated by China Film, Pony and Lay's, and was taken away by Lay's at a price of 800 million. ”
, the pony escaped, if this is 800 million guaranteed, then the investment will be lost, and the publisher will lose a lot of money, then the game will be over.
""Taiping Wheel" is two parts, right, and Lay's 800 million guaranteed two?" Tang An asked.
Cheng Hai nodded, "It's two." ”
Tut-tut, Zhongying and Pony have to thank Lay's this time.
The two-part "Taiping Wheel" seems to have invested 300 million yuan.
800 million guaranteed, if you can cheat a little money in Southeast Asia, you won't lose too much.
And this money can be obtained a year in advance now, and if you invest something else in a year's time, you may earn it back.
The entertainment industry is getting crazier and crazier, and Bernard's guarantee of 400 million for "After the End" is quite reliable, but these two are a bit outrageous.
However, if there is no prophetic advantage, it is also said that in the past, the 450 million guarantee of "Gardenia Blossom" is a bit inflated, and gambling is not like this.
The two parts of "Taiping Wheel" have a total of 800 million, and the first part of "Red Cliff" was 300 million, all of which were five years ago, and there is no problem with the two 800 million, not to mention the Titanic, which is known as the East!
However, there is a but......
