Chapter 74: The End of February (4/4)

In recent years, the Internet has given a lot of movies a second life!

Theaters can't make money, and more movies choose to open up a second battlefield - online broadcasting.

Generally, the time for movies to be released is about 30 days, and many movies choose to be released in advance, for example, "The King of New Comedy", which was released for 28 days, directly transferred the battlefield to the Internet...

Although I don't know the specific data, "Detective Pu Songling" must have made huge profits on the Internet, with 140 million hits, considering that the movie's theatrical income is only 152 million yuan, the proportion of network income in the total income of the film is definitely not a small number - 12 yuan per on-demand (6 yuan for VIP members)...

The money will not all fall into the pockets of the filmmaker, and the number of clicks also includes the trial, but the 140 million clicks will still create a lot of network income!

……

On February 15, Zhang Junsheng returned to China...

The first thing I did when I got home was to attend a drinking party.

Dongyang Media held a cocktail party...

Presumably to clear the depression of last year, they invited a lot of people.

In last year's year-end inventory, Dongyang Media ranked last among the six major film and television companies, and was not even as good as the rising star Beijing Culture, which successively participated in the investment of popular films such as "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and "Railway Flying Tiger", which provided a guarantee for the growth of the company's main business.

Among the top 25 films of the mainland box office year, Dongyang Media has only one "Warcraft" that participates in the investment...

In terms of main business, although Dongyang Media has produced films including "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic", the box office performance of 3.1 billion yuan is by no means the top three in the industry...

This is not the first time!

Huang Zhongjun personally went out of the mountain and announced the revocation of Huang Zhonglei's position as the head of the film business...

de-cinematization, directly developed Dongyang Media from a market value of nearly 80 billion to less than 30 billion...

Of course, relying on the heritage, they are still opponents that cannot be underestimated, this year there is a continuation of the style of "Lao Paoer" "Little Master", Uncle Nose's "Dragon Shock" ("British Showdown"), Ma Xiaokang Film Studio will launch three works: "Fanghua", "Mobile Phone 2" and "Marriage Laboratory"...

In addition to the film business, they are also preparing to regain the TV drama business, "Still a Couple", "Phantom City", and "Late Night Canteen" have all been sold...

Of course, in addition to this time, they also want to pull out the newcomers they are promoting for everyone to meet...

Tang Yixin, the first sister of Dongyang Media...

The stars who have mixed well this year have opened their own studios and even companies.

The remaining 'first brother' and 'first sister' of major companies are not all second- and third-tier, and if they don't want to be cheap outsiders, they can feed their resources.

So, "Alone in the World", "Tai Chi Grandmaster's Tai Chi Gate", "Eight Hundred"...

Tang Yixin, when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was at the beginning, Yuehua intended to sign her, and everyone in the circle knew it, but now she was accepted by Dongyang Media, and the Huang brothers were extremely happy.

A vote of artists attended...

There are not many artists left, and the only names that can be called are Xu Fan, Yang Lixin and Yao Dazui...

Of course, Our Lady Yao has her own studio.

Zhang Junsheng didn't greet anyone much, he came here just to eat something, and by the way, to see how Dongyang Media regained lost ground...

Now it seems that it is still the same old way, relying on big stars and big directors...

There is no consideration of market changes at all.

Now the mainstream human right to watch movies is the post-90s...

Tang Ningyu walked over with a wine glass: "I haven't been able to understand, why does Dongyang Media want to do de-cinematization?"

“… I probably think it's too tiring to make a movie, and the movie itself is full of uncertainty!"

"But they started out in movies!"

"Who knows what they think..."

was chatting, Liu Sisi led Lin Xinru over: "This is Zhang Junsheng..."

Zhang Junsheng was polite: "Hello, Ms. Lin!"

"Call me Xinru!"

"Hehe... Hey, Zhonglei is looking for me... I'll go first!"

didn't have the idea of chatting with her at all, Zhang Junsheng casually found an excuse and left directly...

He hates Lin Xinru very much, although he says that life is like a drama and depends on acting skills, but acting comes to life, reversing black and white, which is the most disgusting.

"Doesn't he like me?"

“… I don't know, I'll help you ask!"

……

Huang Zhonglei looked grateful: "Junsheng, thank you for coming!"

“… You're welcome, we're all friends. ”

Zhang Junsheng raised his glass, and the two took a sip each, and the latter continued: "Dongyang is also preparing to transform into a heavy industry film this year!"

“… Really, great!"

"We tried to invest in Hollywood productions, 'Hurricane', '22 Miles,' 'A Little Favor,' and 'Mint'..."

"Literary and artistic?"

"No way, we don't eat as much in Hollywood as you do..."

"Who do you work with?"

"Mainly with STX Entertainment!"

“… The company in which Luc Besson has a stake?

Zhang Junsheng was completely speechless...

STX Entertainment, which lost 1.5 billion yuan last year, and then planned to go public in China, Fuji Xun and Li Zekai invested one after another, STX Entertainment released 23 sets of movies, with a global box office income of 1.3 billion US dollars, and the average global box office of each film was only more than 5,600 US dollars.

By the way, "City of a Thousand Planets", which lost more than $100 million, was invested by STX Entertainment and Europa Film and Television...

According to the information in the prospectus, STX Entertainment is really not a good company, not only losing more than 100 million US dollars every year, but also producing works that are not ideal in terms of word-of-mouth or commercial box office, although its positioning is different from that of traditional Hollywood companies, only producing 20 million-80 million US dollars of medium-themed films, but it has been 5 years and has not made achievements is a bit unreasonable.

"Are you still angry at Luc Besson, didn't they give you back 80 million euros?"

“… That's because they lost the lawsuit..."

Zhang Junsheng shrugged his shoulders and changed his tone: "You are free, but I don't think STX Entertainment is a good choice!"

“… The point is, we don't have a choice..."

Zhang Junsheng raised his glass and left...

If it were another company, Zhang Junsheng might have persuaded him, but Dongyang Media still forgot it...

Never forget to hit your competitors!

And even if it is said, it may not be useful, STX Entertainment has a lot of resources in Hollywood, catering to the domestic demand for film internationalization from 2015, Chinese capital, which has not had much say in Hollywood, can only retreat to cooperation with STX Entertainment, as long as the company with Hollywood is international, it can meet the psychological needs of the Chinese people.

Otherwise, why is Fujisun willing to invest?

Huang Zhonglei left, and Liu Sisi walked over: "You don't like Lin Xinru?"

“… That's right!"

"Why?"
