Chapter 677: Cooperation and Rift

The company's current biggest name is naturally Lin Xiao himself, followed by Liang Shaoqing.

However, Liang Shaoqing is attached to Lingxiao Pavilion in the form of a studio.

And then there is the half-retired actress sister.

There is also at the beginning of this year, Lin Xiao's little brother, Xie Xin, expired his contract with the original brokerage company, officially broke away from the original brokerage company, and opened his own personal studio, which is also attached to Ling Xiao.

Coupled with the new Xiaohua, Yan Jue, who is obviously supported by the company, plays the role of the thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong".

and Liu Xixi and others, so although the artists under Lingxiao Pavilion cannot be compared with those old brokerage companies, they have already begun to become a climate.

In terms of directors, Lin Xiao won't talk about it, and the ones who are already able to take charge on their own are Chen He and Nan Ke.

And then there's Sanle Animation, Sanle Animation, which currently has two of the most valuable projects, "Peppa Pig" and "Kung Fu Panda".

However, there are also many places to spend money.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" has been officially opened, and the investment in this part alone, although it is a joint investment by many companies, but Ling Xiao Pavilion and Sanle Animation, the combined investment amount has exceeded 300 million Chinese dollars.

The second is the special effects company that broke away from Sanle Animation, Aurora Special Effects, which is still in the stage of burning money.

Of course, the biggest thing is the investment in the first theme apartment of Soaring Pavilion, as well as the layout of Soaring Pavilion in the cinema chain.

After Yao Ding took office, the first thing he did was to cancel the year-end dividend and use it as funds for the acquisition of theaters.

At present, there are more than 50 theaters on the side of Lingxiao Pavilion, and this number continues to increase.

However, if the revenue statement of Ling Xiao Pavilion's film project is released, I am afraid that it will make countless people blush and unbelievable.

The movie "Kung Fu Panda" alone has made a net profit of more than 100 million US dollars, and although with the release of the movie, the sales of peripheral products will definitely begin to fade, but it is still a steady stream of profits here.

At the same time, "Peppa Pig" is definitely a miracle.

Last year, the gross profit of "Peppa Pig" was as high as 2.8 billion Chinese dollars, and the investment is negligible, and it is definitely a huge treasure that needs to be explored.

Previously, the sky-high script "Changing Face" that Tianhua bought from Lin Xiao was officially announced and released before the traditional domestic film protection month.

There is no way, although Huaguo has canceled the so-called domestic film protection month on the surface, but in fact, this is still an unspoken rule.

Throughout July, apart from those that had already been released before, no foreign film was released this month.

Although "Changing Face" is a co-production, it is still excluded, but Tianhua has thought of a way, that is, let "Changing Face" be released before July, and at that time, although it will be a domestic film protection month, it will still be able to continue to be screened.

In North America, this year's summer file is even more blockbuster, with more than 6 sequel blockbusters alone, not to mention that there are many superhero films that will be released in this schedule.

So "Changing Face" finally chose on the North American side, a slightly dull June.

On Tianhua's side, Yao Ding was replaced by a vice president from Tianxing, Wu Wenlong.

Wu Wenlong could be said to be a powerful figure on Tianxing's side before, but Tianhua's side offered him a reward that he couldn't refuse, and he was in charge of himself and being a subordinate to others, so he naturally chose the former between the two.

When Wu Wenlong settled in Tianhua Pictures, the first thing he did was to cast a wide net to catch more fish, and began to shrink the investment share of blockbusters, and instead began to invest in those low- and medium-cost films.

I have to say that Wu Wenlong's strategy made Tianhua's performance look a lot better during the period after Yao Ding left.

It's just that I don't know if I want to go to Yao Dinghua, or if I want to use Yao Ding's project to establish a prestige in the company, he is dissatisfied with the agreement signed between "Changing Face" and Lin Xiao, and hopes to talk to Lin Xiao about signing a new agreement many times.

Just kidding, Lin Xiao naturally couldn't agree.

For this reason, although Ling Xiao Pavilion and Tianhua Ming still have a cooperative relationship on the surface, in fact, there has been a very obvious rift.

For example, the new project here in Lingxiao Pavilion, except for the cooperation when Yao Ding was there before, the subsequent cooperation was almost zero.

And after Yao Ding became the owner of Lingxiao Pavilion, the first decision he made, the strategy of canceling the dividend at the end of the year, also caused great dissatisfaction on Tianhua's side.

The main reason is that Tianhua has begun to saturate the real estate industry in recent years, and the parent company on Tianhua's side has high debts, and loans are no longer as easy as in the past.

At a time when large real estate developers across the country are beginning to consider transforming into other industries, Tianhua is no exception.

Therefore, Tianhua Pictures can get less and less support from the parent company, and naturally, the annual dividends of hundreds of millions of dollars on the side of Lingxiao Pavilion have become a piece of fat that Wu Wenlong is staring at.

However, Yao Ding was directly appointed as a new official with three fires, and the first fire burned to the shareholders.

Ahri and Huaying are okay here, especially in order to ease the relationship with Lingxiao Pavilion, it is impossible for Ahri to raise objections, and Huaying has just obtained the huge benefits brought by "Kung Fu Panda", so it is naturally impossible to stand on Tianhua's side at this time.

In addition, Lin Xiao already had an absolute controlling stake, so Tianhua's dissatisfaction was of no use at all.

In the past, when Lingxiao Pavilion was only a small company, there were many places that needed Tianhua's support and help, but now, Tianhua has become the most inconspicuous shareholder.

Because Ling Xiao Pavilion itself has also begun to set up a cinema chain, although it is not as good as Tianhua at present, but because the relationship between Ling Xiao Pavilion and Huaying is very harmonious, there is no need to worry about this.

On the other hand, ECCOM has always hoped to increase its stake in Lingxiao Pavilion, and even hit Tianhua's side.

As a result, I don't know if it's because of a real lack of money, or because I feel that the honeymoon period with Lingxiao Pavilion is over, and Yao Ding on Lingxiao Pavilion's side made the decision that Lingxiao Pavilion will not pay dividends in the next three years, so that Tianhua Pictures actually agreed to ECCOM's offer and gave up more than half of the shares held in his hand.

However, despite this, at the premiere of "Changing Face", Lin Xiao, as the screenwriter, gnawed on such a big piece of fat, so it was naturally impossible to be absent.

The premiere of "Changing Face" in China was held very grandly, this film, the lineup can be called extremely luxurious, two domestic and foreign actors, on the same stage, plus the script is the script of Lin Xiao, a screenwriter who has never missed, and the director is also a top director.

Therefore, the premiere of "Changing Face" can also be described as a star-studded lineup, even less than the star lineup of those film festivals.
