Chapter 475: Celebration Banquet
If Chen Zhongtian only regretted it a little before, but he didn't actually take it too seriously, then now, Chen Zhongtian's resentment towards Lin Xiao can be said to have reached an extreme.
Although the turmoil of Tianxing Group was finally suppressed by Chen Zhongtian, although the stock price fell a lot, it was also temporary.
The stock price of film and television companies has always been easy to rise and fall with the popularity or loss of a movie.
He wasn't so worried about this, but this time the loss was huge.
Tianxing Cinema has been expanding, but because of the collective departure of its franchised theaters, the expansion of Tianxing Cinema has suddenly become stagnant.
It's just that for Ling Xiao Pavilion, Chen Zhongtian really doesn't have any good ways for the time being, because some means may be easy to deal with some small companies, but it is not so easy to deal with Ling Xiao Pavilion, which is in full swing.
However, Chen Zhongtian made a note of this matter, if he had at most taken a tacit attitude without paying attention to it before, then in the future, as long as he found an opportunity, he would not hesitate to take the initiative.
Chen Zhongtian's jealousy, Lin Xiao didn't know, but he didn't take it too seriously, for him, although Ling Xiao Pavilion is not a giant in the film industry at the moment, but three films in a row have been a great success, and Ling Xiao Pavilion as long as it does not encounter Waterloo, then Tianxing has no way to take Ling Xiao Pavilion.
After all, Lingxiao Pavilion, which is backed by big capital giants, is no longer Wuxia Ameng.
Tianxing Group can be said to have lost face this time, not to mention the decline in stocks, although the collective difficulties of the board of directors and shareholders were strongly suppressed by Chen Zhongtian, the losses were immeasurable.
At the same time, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" successfully exceeded the 3 billion mark after more than two months of screening.
However, the daily box office also began to fall below 10 million Chinese dollars and entered the final stage.
Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing, where the "Infernal Affairs" celebration banquet will be held.
"Infernal Affairs" has a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, which has also made Lingxiao Pavilion the hottest film company at the moment.
Although Ling Xiao Pavilion is still a little short of many domestic film companies, after all, Ling Xiao Ge does not have too many contracted actors, and there are only two or three signed directors.
It is mainly a star studio model dominated by Lin Xiao.
But no one will underestimate Lingxiao Pavilion, because the success of a movie may be summed up as shit luck, two movies in a row have been successful, and there may be coincidences and accidents, but three movies in a row have been successful, and the so-called things are only three, then it is enough to prove that this is definitely not luck and coincidence, but strength.
Therefore, at the celebration banquet of "Infernal Affairs", many domestic film and television bigwigs came to cheer one after another.
Among them, Yao Ding of Tianhua Film and Television, Fang Miao of Tianhua Cinema Line, Shaodong Wang Bin of Tianhua Group and so on.
The other two shareholders of Lingxiao Pavilion, Huaying Group, also sent a high-level executive at the vice president level, Zheng Jiang.
Yan Wei of ECCOM Group, Shi Zhipeng, president of Ahri Pictures, and so on.
Not to mention the stars present, how many people have become popular in the three movies of Ling Xiao Pavilion? Almost all the stars who participated in the show have greatly improved their worth and fame.
"Brother Xiao, congratulations!"
"Mr. Lin, congratulations!"
"Mr. Lin, congratulations!"
People from all walks of life looked at Lin Xiao with envy, jealousy, and other complicated eyes, and said a word of congratulations.
There's no way not to be envious or jealous, the 3 special movies have directly turned a small studio into a hot new force in the film industry.
If nothing else, the ROI of all three movies is enough to make anyone red-eyed.
"Mr. Lin, our Ahri is also a shareholder of Lingxiao Pavilion, there is a gap in funds, why don't you say it, it's not kind. Shi Zhipeng was a little depressed.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is also one of the shareholders of Lingxiao Pavilion, so it can share some of the benefits of "Infernal Affairs", but it is obviously a lot different from Tianhua and ECCOM, which were later added to direct investment.
"Haha, where is Mr. Shi talking about, you know, this time it's a special case. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Of course I know it's a special situation, but I don't know if Mr. Lin has any plans for the future? Now there seem to be a few projects in Lingxiao Pavilion, I don't know if Mr. Lin has ever thought about adapting a few of your works into film and television works?" Shi Zhipeng looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and said.
Yao Ding happened to come over with Yan Wei of ECCOM, and when he heard Shi Zhipeng's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
At the beginning, Tianhua and Ahri took a stake in Lingxiao Pavilion, and several of Lin Xiao's best-selling works also accounted for a large part of their valuation of Lingxiao Pavilion.
And compared to movies, even if Lin Xiao has dominated three popular movies, there is still no sure way to make money or lose money, but if Lin Xiao's several films are adapted into film and television works, it is almost a project that will make money without losing money.
"Mr. Shi's proposal is good, Mr. Lin, you can't hold it anymore, it's time to put your films on the screen. Yao Ding said with a smile.
"Ahem, this is easy to say, but when it comes to projects, I have a project next, I don't know if I am interested?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Oh, there will be a new project so soon?" Whether it was Yao Ding, Yan Wei or Shi Zhipeng, they all looked at Lin Xiaodao with bright eyes.
"Well, it's still a film project, and the estimated cost should be on par with "Infernal Affairs", Ling Xiao Ge invests 50%, and I plan to raise 50% externally, if a few people are interested, they can join in. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
It is good to eat alone, but sometimes it is better to be happy alone, such as this time "Infernal Affairs", the introduction of investment from Tianhua and ECCOM, although it gave up part of the benefits, but in terms of publicity, it has received a lot of help from the two giants.
Especially in ECCOM, it has a unique advantage in terms of online publicity, and "Infernal Affairs" can have today's achievements, although it is inseparable from the excitement of the film itself, but it also plays a huge role in publicity.
"Of course I'm interested, I think Mr. Lin's project, I'm afraid there is no one who won't be interested, right?" Yan Wei slapped a sycophant quietly, but what he said was also the truth, if Ling Xiao Ge said that the new film wanted to be financed externally, I was afraid that it would be able to step on the threshold of Ling Xiao Pavilion.
The return on investment of several of Ling Xiao Ge's movies is so high that countless film and television giants are jealous.
As for Lin Xiao, this time he really has a little idea of sharing the risk, because he is not as confident in the next project as before, because he wants to direct the next movie himself!
"In that case, we'll talk later. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Of course that's good, haha!"
Yan Wei, Yao Ding and others were all smiling, but they didn't know if they would have laughed so happily if they knew that the next movie would be directed by Lin Xiao himself.
