Chapter 554: Return to the Movie

In the global film market, summer files are the top priority of the year, and Huaguo is no exception.

At the beginning of July, it was originally the beginning of the summer season, but in addition to the upcoming "Little Times" in the entire entertainment industry, there was also some lace news.

In the entertainment industry, that is, love, breakup, and fineness, Li Chen and Zhang Xinyu's "stone love" has been popular for a while.

This year, the film and television industry has not yet had variety shows, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV launched two variety shows "The Voice of China" and "Running Man" one after another in the summer.

Two popular variety shows were broadcast in turn, which immediately completely detonated the ratings, and crushed all programs in the country at the same time.

"The Voice" aired two episodes, the first with a rating of 1.5%, and the second in the same period.

In the second episode, the ratings immediately skyrocketed to 2.8%, and the viewership share also exceeded 7%.

Running Man also broadcast two episodes, the first episode had an audience rating of 3%, and the second episode also rose to the ratings champion.

Two variety shows were broadcast at the same time, one Friday and one Saturday, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV made a big splash.

There were seven guests running men, Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, and Wang Kai from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Li Chen, Yang Ying, Wang Kai, and Wang Baoqiang from Huayi.

When it was settled before, Wang Baoqiang had not left Huayi.

Four in Huayi and three in Han and Tang, these three people still managed to make it up, and no one wanted to go.

Deng Chao plans to develop in the direction of comedy, focusing on comedy, taking into account other genres, and it just so happens that this is a funny type of variety show, to find inspiration.

Zhao Liying is okay under Zhou Shiwei now, but she is still far from the front line, and she is not picky.

Although Wang Kai is already on the front line in the TV series, he is not picky when he is free, and the sissy in "Ugly Girl Invincible" has been played for several seasons in a row, so he took it.

As for Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Sun Li, and Liu Ye, the four front-line lines are not at all.

A few studio newcomers have signed a lot, not to mention that the film and television schools have to sign forty or fifty newcomers combined, basically covering the 08-11 sessions.

Anyway, there are many roles, and the No. 5 and No. 6 roles in the star TV series are very rare for these newcomers, so you don't have to worry about the roles not being arranged.

The two variety shows not only made Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV the most dazzling TV station this summer, but Tudou Group, as an exclusive online broadcasting platform, also benefited from the market value, breaking through the $1 billion mark in one fell swoop, reaching 1.157 billion.

In comparison, Youku, the country's largest video website, has now fallen to $2.3 billion in market capitalization.

Although the gap between the two is still very large, the increase in potatoes has just begun, after all, the variety show has only been broadcast for two episodes, and it will take a long time to follow, and now the stock has a price a day.

And Tudou is stepping up the launch of a large number of online dramas, including the TV series "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

At the same time, after the preparation of all departments of Tudou Pictures has been completed, the production departments of movies, TV series, and variety shows have also prepared a large number of online dramas, online universities, and online comprehensives.

The two variety shows are about to suppress the news of Tengxun's establishment of Tencent Pictures, Baidu's successive return of other shares of iQiyi, the acquisition of PPS, and the establishment of iQiyi Pictures.

If it weren't for the propaganda of the two major companies, they might not have been able to make even a little wave among the masses.

Fuji News once again announced a merger and acquisition case, acquiring 100% of the shares of Shengda Literature for 310 million US dollars, and forming a new Fujian News Literature with QQ Reading, and the new website to create Chinese!

Reading Network, Under the Banyan Tree, Romance Bar, Tianfang Listening Book Network, Yue Reading Network, five major stations, plus two publishing houses, CIIC Bowen and Jushi Wenhua.

Just such a little industry, it cost 310 million US dollars.

Tengxun then began to contact SoftBank China, Carlyle Capital, IDG Capital, and Trustbridge Capital, intending to acquire 54.28% of the shares held by these shareholders.

Fortunately, Tang An reacted quickly, taking the lead in winning 5.71% of the shares in the hands of Trustbridge Capital at a premium price of 47 million US dollars, and the total shares reached 48.57%, plus 2.86% in the hands of Wu Wen's team, which has exceeded 50%.

Tang An has already given Wu Wen's team the greatest freedom, and it is basically impossible for them to fall to Teng Xun.

Even if the worst happens, Tang An still has the right of first refusal.

In the conference room of Hantang Media, Tang An, Chen Guoyan, and Xu Yanyun, the three heads of the company, as well as Wu Feng, deputy general manager of the investment and development department, and Ya Ning, deputy general manager of the development department, were holding a meeting.

Also, the curtain is showing the Shengda Literature Conference Room, where Wu Wen and his team are there.

Soon after the acquisition was launched, Tang An received a rumor from Wu Wen, after all, he had also worked in Shengda Literature for several years.

Originally, Tang An had the plan to take down the remaining websites and publishing houses of Shengda Literature, but at this time, it was not necessary, it would cost money everywhere, and he wanted to wait for half a year.

Unexpectedly, Teng Xun made a move, and Tang An could only send Wu Feng and Wu Wen to form a team to join.

However, Tengxun really doesn't treat money as money, and it was 310 million US dollars, more than 2 billion yuan.

At the beginning, it was only 350 million US dollars to win Singularity, Jin Qi, Xiaoxiang Academy, Red Sleeves Tianxiang and a publishing house.

It can only be said that a big dog is a big dog, and it can't compete at all.

Nowadays, with the success of several adapted movies, the word IP is gradually emerging, and the value of the Internet is gradually rising.

It doesn't matter if there are a few stations, but after all, Tengxun has QQ reading, which is the top five readers in terms of downloads.

With this APP, it is enough to support a website that is not much weaker than the singularity.

Wu Wen in the curtain reported on the current situation, relying on QQ reading to establish the founding Chinese impact on the network circle than the three giants to establish a film on the film and television industry impact is no smaller.

A new company, with enough traffic and enough readers, lacks a large number of authors.

On all websites on the whole network, almost all authors with some achievements have contacted each other to poach people, and some editors in the Singularity Editorial Department have left.

The conditions offered by Fuji Xun, who are not bad for money, are almost impossible to refuse.

It's the same as history, but it's all early.

Although Singularity was not greatly affected later, Tang An still discussed a series of countermeasures with them.

It's not like I haven't encountered this kind of thing back then, and I still survived.

In addition to adding some benefits to authors and increasing editorial salaries and benefits, Wu Wen decided to open a new website.

For more than a year, in addition to the original Singularity APP, a Cloud Book City APP has also been launched.

By giving a large amount of shares to major operators, mobile phone manufacturers, and stations, coupled with the huge advertising costs that have been smashed, the users of Cloud Bookstore will already rank in the top ten of major reading apps.

It is mainly the result of the fall of the mobile reading base and the diversion of a large number of users.

The audiences of Cloud Book City and Singularity are different, with the former focusing more on wireless wind, just like the later founders.

Cloud Bookstore has raised users, and will build its own website next.

As for the other details, I will leave it to Wu Wen's team.

Then there is the next question, Teng Xun not only looked at the field of online literature, but also thought about potatoes.

Hantang Media only holds 34.7% of the shares of Tudou Group, although it is already a relative control, but the voting rights are only 40%, which is generally enough.

But in the face of a master like Tengxun, who is not bad for money, it is not impossible to be really ruthless.

But fortunately, the two variety shows only aired two episodes, and the market value of Tudou skyrocketed to $1 billion.

It is foreseeable that by the time the two shows end, there will be more than two months to go, and the market value will definitely rise to a new height.

Moreover, at this time, Tudou is not much different from Youku's market share, once it completes the overtake, the meaning is different, and the first and second are absolutely incomparable.

At that time, it was not a billion thing.

It was precisely because of this that the shareholders suspended the negotiations with Tengxun.

In addition, Hantang also announced in advance the exclusive launch of the two web dramas "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" on Tudou.com, which is also good news.

This is not a solution, Tang An still has to find a chance to get the remaining 10% of the voting rights.

The meeting continued, and today's meeting is mainly for the variety show.

Hantang Media's variety show division has actually been established, but there is still a lack of a group of senior management.

Tang An plans to directly acquire a variety show production company to save trouble.

Wu Feng reported the results of the inspection.

At present, there are no more than 10 large-scale variety show production companies in China, namely Canxing Production, Blue Flame, Energy Film and Television, Dongfang Fengxing, Weizhong Media, and Shixi Media......

Canstar Productions is the producer of The Voice of China, a joint venture between the Chinese Cultural Foundation and News Corporation.

Blue Flame is owned by Warner Bailu, and the others don't have much corporate background.

Tang An flipped through the information of these companies, and the qualifications were all good.

"Mr. Wu, you can talk about these, at least take one and retain part of their management. ”

It's already July, and "Interstellar" is about to start filming, and Tang An has too many things that he can't take care of, so he will arrange them one by one.

Whether it is the release of several films in the second half of the company, the preparation for the distribution of Wuzhou, the business of Tudou Pictures, Han and Tang literature, Han and Tang Dynasty film and television dramas co-produced by several major studios, he can only ask about the general strategic direction.

The variety show will let the following people examine several variety shows in Southeast Asia that have been popular in China.

Approaching mid-July, another film "Little Times" released by the company was released in China, although there was a sniper from Ah, but in the full distribution of Han and Tang and the absence of other popular films in the same period, the super high box office of 291 million in the first weekend and four days shocked the entire entertainment industry, and no one thought that a film directed by a writer could burst out with such great energy.

"Wolf Warrior" has been launched, and "Interstellar" has also held a start-up press conference on the 13th, and Tang An wants to put all his energy back into the movie.
