Chapter 60: An Unexpected Visitor (part 5 of 5)
Except for the theme park, other projects with the word Yuehua are basically profitable!
Movie theaters and video companies don't count, that thing is a long-term investment...
Even if you add it all, there is a surplus...
This is a statement for the year.
Externally, Yuehua's annual report is very good-looking, compared with last year, faded out and relied on "Kung Fu Panda", which has been a lot more successful.
The most important thing is that "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", "Tengu", and "Teeth of Love" have all achieved profitability!
Especially "Painted Skin", Xu Xiake, who had only been around in the field of TV dramas before, handed over a box office of 352 million in the mainland and a total box office of 120 million US dollars in overseas...
It's a pity that the peripheral sales are not very ideal, otherwise, the profit created by "Painted Skin" will definitely not be less than that of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2"...
What does this mean?
On behalf of Yuehua, he does not rely solely on a certain director or actor, and he can form a scale purely for distribution!
Investor confidence is high.
A market capitalization forecast of 38 billion is given...
Yuehua has not yet announced the number of star holdings in his hands, and Zhang Junsheng has great confidence in the market value after listing!
To explain, Summit Entertainment and Lucas Cinemas are both listed companies in North America, and their operating conditions are not counted under Yuehua.
When the right opportunity arises, Zhang Junsheng will announce the collectivization, and at that time, a large international media company covering online, offline, and surrounding worlds will be born!
……
The Hollywood Annual Report is also out.
In 08, the number one was Warner Bros., with a cumulative total box office of $17.05 in the North American market;
In sixth place is 20th Century Forbes, with an annual box office of $919 million;
Excluding the six at the top of the pyramid, the seventh is Summit Entertainment, which grossed $482.5 million at the North American box office in 2008, mainly relying on "Twilight" and "Dancing My Life" and "Painted Skin";
It is worth mentioning that Lionsgate, which grossed $406 million at the North American box office in 2008, ranked eighth...
With "Twilight", "The Hunger Games", Wen Ziren's horror universe, and the dark fairy tale series conceived by Zhang Junsheng, for at least ten years, Summit Entertainment does not have to worry about the lack of projects, and can firmly rank in the top seven.
For the rest, wait for Paramount to go bankrupt...
With the development of giant mergers and acquisitions, as well as the doubling of his own investment, Zhang Junsheng believes that Summit Entertainment will eventually get the MPAA pass.
Become a member of the top club in the truest sense of the word!
Whether it is Spielberg-led DreamWorks or Miramax Films, which is thriving at the Oscars, they are not members of the MPAA, so no matter how famous they are, they are only second-rate characters in Hollywood after all.
The MPAA is the one who makes the rules!
For example, they actually rated "The King's Speech" as R, excuse me, what is there about that movie that deserves R?
Also, "Blue Valentine" is divided into NC-17...
Oh my God, there's no dew...
Harvey has repeatedly bombarded the MPAA for this, and even took the MPAA to court.
There's no use for eggs, you're a low-end player!
Joining the MPAA is difficult!
All decisions of the MPAA must be unanimously supported by the six major companies, and each of the six companies has a veto power...
Similar to the principle of unanimity among the five powers of the United Nations, India and Japan have been clamoring for permanent seats, or to increase the number of permanent members to ten...
Hehe, every time China exercises a veto...
Ukraine's proposal to abolish Russia's veto was rejected by Russia.
It's not a joke...
……
On January 16, "Under the Red Cliff" was released.
To be honest, the next episode is better than the previous episode, but the last episode consumes too much word-of-mouth.
Many people would rather rewatch "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", or simply dare not go to the movie, rather than sit in the theater and watch a sinister comedy.
"The first funny blockbuster of the year, at the end of the film, I really thought that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were going to kiss... Embarrassed me!"
"A little thunder every day. Life is a little more exciting!"
"Why don't you find Uncle Ge or Wang Bo for this kind of comedy?"
"Sister Chi Ling walked into Cao Ying with a cat, and I wanted to sneak into her rules at that time..."
The reputation is very bad, and it can't even compare to the upper part...
The premiere was 10 hours and the box office was 13 million...
According to this data analysis, the total box office is likely to stop at 200 million!
This is definitely not satisfactory to investors, especially Han Sanye, who has always been strategic, "Red Cliff" is a very important project of China Film.
At the moment, he is sitting in his office, flipping through the detailed box office report.
"Red Cliff" is a big project of China Film!
Judging from the current situation, the total box office of the upper and lower episodes plus one can barely reach more than 400 million, and China Film's 120 million yuan investment should be able to recover the cost...
However, what the third master wants to do is not to recover the cost, he wants to leave a famous film history!
After watching the overseas box office report of "Red Cliff", he was happy...
Huayang lost 300 million this time!
Dead friends don't die poor!
Kaisen!
"Buzz!"
The mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate, and he frowned and picked it up to look at it and stretched it instantly.
After chatting for a few words, the third master hung up the phone...
"Nine months to make a tribute film?"
……
"That's it, according to last year's standards this year, and when it goes public next year, we will hold an annual meeting!"
The financial report statistics are out, and it is time for the benchmark of the year-end bonus to be announced...
“… So much more?"
Tang Ningyu was a little distressed, five times the year-end bonus, if it goes down in a wave, tens of millions will be gone...
"It's about to go public, let the employees have fun!"
"Okay, you're the big boss, you have the final say!"
Chen Jianming from the finance department walked out of the office with a smile...
"By the way, Old Tang, we have no problem with the company's taxes, right?
“… Nonsense, we're a regular army!"
Tang Ningyu was a little speechless...
"That's good, I'm afraid there will be some yin and yang contracts..."
"This kind of thing will not happen in our company, all our projects and capital flows have been recorded!"
"Well, let's go, let's have dinner and talk about the listing by the way..."
“… Your "The Wind" is gone?"
“… Isn't the venue still being built? The actors are all selected, and there are three assistant directors staring at them, what do I care?"
"What about 'Vulgar'?"
"Vulgar is ready to participate in the Berlin Film Festival..."
"After taking the Palme d'Or, are you still not satisfied? Do you still think about the Golden Bear?"
Zhang Junsheng waved his hand: "There is such a thing as awards, the more the merrier." ”
The two walked out of the office and met a woman.
Thin, refreshing, with a soft voice, but inexplicably a little strong, not aggressive, nor bluff, but a kind of natural revelation, very beautiful and atmospheric.
It's actually Yu Feihong!
"There's a copy problem, I may have to invest an additional 3 million..."
The first sentence made Zhang Junsheng stunned...
It took a long time to react, and her first movie "Love Has an Afterlife" was produced by Yuehua...
“… What's wrong with copies?"
"That copy was made in Thailand, after a special color matching, and now this batch is washed in China, and the tone and light sense are completely wrong. ”
“… Why do you want to do it in Thailand? Yuehua can also have a special printing factory!"
"Thailand's cheap and not bad quality..."
"And where did you wash it?"
