Chapter 253: Movies Are Still Handed Over to Mainstream Audiences (3/5)
"However, the concept stocks are a little inflated now, and I think that the market value of Yuehua can reach the height of the world at most..."
Universal's current market capitalization is $15 billion, ranking fourth among the top six in Hollywood.
"Dongyang Media and Guangguang Media are really not competitive, it is completely the inflated entertainment market that has driven their market value, you see now, the glamorous market value is as high as 18 billion, and it is about to catch up with Wall Street's valuation of the peak!"
Yu Dong sighed: "Yes, I was wondering if I was going to privatize it, and then pushed it from the NASDAQ"
Zhang Junsheng glanced at Yu Dong: "You have only been on the market for half a year... Did you hear something?"
“… What the wind is blowing"
Since the beginning of the year, Dongyang Media and Pipeline Media have begun to play with the concept...
It is to announce the film list at one time, pull up the stock price, and then sell the stock and cut the leeks...
Straight transition to the age of capital!
After Dongyang Media went public, Huang Zhongjun took a back seat, and Xiao Huang took the helm.
The gap between them is that Rhubarb can start from scratch, making Dongyang a well-known signboard in the mainland, and when he is at the helm, Dongyang Media's films can basically represent half of the mainland's commercial films.
Xiao Huang began to take the helm, and the film and television department lost money year after year, so he had to pick up the wool of shareholders!
In the capital era, the profits earned by box office such as "Wolf Warrior 2" are far less than the appreciation of its producer's shares.
Every big-budget movie has fully demonstrated the attributes of the product, and its effect is no less than Apple's launch of a new machine in September and October every year...
For capital giants, movies are really just a product.
But Bona can't play with it!
U.S. stocks and A-shares are completely different things...
Not to mention anything else, in the original time and space, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was a box office hit, but Bona's stock price fell one after another...
It's not easy to cut leeks without being acquired by other giants...
Zhang Junsheng waved his hand: "It's nothing, let's continue to play golf." ”
“… Junsheng, you've got to pull me... There aren't many people in China who make movies with their hearts now!"
"That's it, this year's Chinese New Year, we Yuehua are responsible for the release of Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", let's release it together!"
"Let the Bullets Fly"
"There is also "Zhao Ziyue", starring Uncle Ge..."
"Then I'll thank you first!"
“… You're welcome, we're allies..."
Zhang Junsheng is really not ready to pit in winter, and Bona is indeed one of the few media companies in China that concentrates on making movies.
Although he and Chen Kexin have torn up a fight, Bona is still influential in the Hong Kong circle, and he has signed ten film contracts with Chinese stars and Sakura Emperor...
And Bona also has more than 40 cinemas, although the number is not much, but they are all distributed in first-tier cities, at present, the number of Yuehua cinemas is not as good as Wanda - the big boss Wang is crazy, constantly spending money to buy cinemas, and the market share has surpassed Yuehua.
When a movie is released, the schedule of the theater chain can be said to play a decisive role in the box office of the film.
The cinema chain is always the strong party, and controlling the cinema chain is equivalent to controlling the distribution!
In later generations, "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors" was released, and the film schedule was pressed to three percent...
Frankly speaking, "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors" must be a bad movie, there is no doubt about it.
But Lao Guo, an outsider, was indeed bullied by this group of people in the circle.
Of course, Lao Guo also understands that he is making bad movies, the question is: so many bad movies can have a film schedule, why don't I make a bad movie and make money without a film schedule
can only say that Lao Guo is too lonely, if "Ancestors of the Nineteenth Generation" has Wanda's participation in the investment, the film schedule cannot be so low!
And there is a problem with the capital chain of Huber&Ranner, Zhang Junsheng will consider whether to buy shares...
……
After playing golf, Zhang Junsheng refused the invitation of the staff and returned to Yuehua by car.
Strictly speaking, "Untouchable" is a co-production, with Summit Entertainment and Yuehua Media each contributing 30%, Zhang Junsheng's film studio contributing 20%, and Xiao Lizi contributing 20%.
Last weekend, "Untouchable" grossed $78 million worldwide, topping the box office...
For a movie that costs only $40 million, it's definitely a very good start.
The problem is that public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable, although Zhang Junsheng has made a counterattack on Weibo, and the effect is not good...
Things that send charcoal in the snow rarely happen in the entertainment industry, but there are even more people who fall into the well!
If one person is unlucky, there will definitely be a bunch of people stepping on a few feet!
Ma Xiaokang, one of the people in the mainland entertainment industry, something happened, and immediately a bunch of people pointed at his nose and scolded...
Zhang Junsheng is the same, and Yuehua's style of acting is too novel, unlike most domestic film and television companies, they rarely bind a certain star, nor do they cooperate with a Hong Kong or Taiwan filmmaker, it has been an independent kingdom from the beginning, and after it was listed, it began to go through the waterfall process - the so-called waterfall process refers to the release of more than ten movies every year, and the number is rushed...
This is the production process of a Hollywood A-list studio!
Yuehua guarantees to release more than 15 films every year, and has signed distribution contracts with eight major cinema chains across the country...
Most film companies can't do this!
It's not that the money is not enough, last year, more than 600 movies were produced across the country, and only 280 were released in theaters.
Most film companies count on stars to sell money, and Yuehua has always won with content...
From the perspective of development, of course, Yuehua's way is right, but if you do this, you are in the way!
Therefore, "Untouchable" has not yet been released in the mainland, so beat him from public opinion first.
……
Tang Ningyu proposed: "Do you want to call the police and catch one or two killer monkeys"
“… No, just send a lawyer's letter to warn you, by the way, how much is the number of films?"
"Thirty-eight percent for the time being..."
"Why is it so low?"
"Wanda pressed the arrangement..."
Zhang Junsheng was a little puzzled: "Why are we pressed on the film schedule"
""West Wind Spirit" was released, and Wanda had investment in that movie. ”
“… Okay, inform Ye Ning and let him press the schedule of "West Wind Spirit"!"
"It's been suppressed... However, Junsheng, do we really care about anything, will it affect the "Untouchable" rush?"
“… Of course you have to take care of it, but now the movie hasn't been released yet, how can you take care of it?"
An Shaoyang, who has been silent, added: "Word-of-mouth control reviews are ready!"
“… Well, when the box office comes out on the first day, let's settle an account with them!"
Movies are not the same as ordinary things, some people really think that "The Wandering Earth" is a bad movie from the bottom of their hearts, he doesn't care about any special effects, and he doesn't care how exciting "The Wandering Earth" appears in Chinese movies as a science fiction film, but he simply feels that it is too sensational and the plot is unreasonable...
Does he have a point?
Of course there is, so is "The Wandering Earth" a bad movie?
Look at the mainstream voices, and the box office!
After all, the movie has to face the mainstream audience, not the small group of double-standard bars!
