"Tangshan Earthquake" is a much-anticipated movie, and the media will definitely focus on the film. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHowever, the next day, the news of the completion of "Tangshan Earthquake" was stolen by Huayi, who held a press conference and announced its stake in Jinyi Cinemas.

For the specific cooperation content after this transaction, Huayi and Jinyi did not disclose much, but said that Huayi will participate in the construction of Jinyi's new cinema after subscribing to the shares of Jinyi Cinema Line.

According to the data released not long ago, Jinyi ranked sixth in the country at the box office last year, and there is a real estate group behind Jinyi, which is very strong, and the cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation. Huayi got the cinema resources they wanted, and Jinyi could link up with Huayi's three major business segments. For example, Huayi can mobilize star resources to participate in the theater's press conferences, meet-and-greets and other landing activities to bring direct influence to the theater.

Investing in Jinyi, coupled with a series of previous actions, Huayi is fighting back at the peak of the century with facts, and it is not so easy to defeat us!

Zhang Ran doesn't care about Huayi's stake in Jinyi, most of the products produced by Century Peak are commercial blockbusters, which can bring huge profits to the theater chain, Huayi does not have a controlling stake, it is difficult to persuade Jinyi shareholders to block Century Peak, and if Century Peak is blocked, Jinyi's own income will also decrease. When the peak of the century blocked Huayi, Zhang Ran paid out of his own pocket to subsidize the northern cinema chain, and the northern cinema chain agreed to follow the ban on Huayi. Zhang Ran can afford to lose, but does Huayi have that much money to lose?

Recently, Hua Yi has engaged in a series of actions, and the really powerful move is to pull the cinema chain to invest in Hua Yi's movie. Last month, Huayi announced that Beiping New Film Association and United Cinemas would take a stake in Feng Xiaogang's new film "Assembly", and one of the two cinemas ranked second in the country and the other ranked third in the country. With their shares, not only is the film schedule guaranteed, but the peak of the century does not dare to say the word ban lightly.

The Wang brothers' recent series of moves are indeed good, but they have a fatal flaw - limited funds. If they have hundreds of millions of dollars in their hands, it's going to be difficult. It's a pity they didn't, so the moment they signed the VAM agreement, the big picture was already decided.

Zhang Ran was too lazy to deal with them, as long as he followed the predetermined plan, Hua Yi would die in three years. For Zhang Ran, the most important thing now is the later stage of "Tangshan Earthquake".

There are more than 1,300 special effects shots in "Tangshan Earthquake", and the special effects production cost accounts for 50% of the total investment, reaching 150 million, which is 5 times that of Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake". However, there is not much time left for the special effects team, and "Tangshan Earthquake" is planned to be released during the Spring Festival next year, that is, in February. After deducting the time required for test screenings, on-demand screenings, and other requirements, it must be completed by January next year at the latest, which is a huge test for the entire special effects team.

On Monday, February 12, countless people are waiting for the box office data to come out, especially the fans of Zhou Xingchi and Ning Hao. "Crazy Travel" is now only 6 million away from "Time Warrior", and it is likely to break the record of "Time Warrior" this week and become the new king of Chinese film box office!

When the box office came out, when everyone saw the data of "Crazy Travel", the whole country was boiling!

"Crazy Travel" broke the record of "Time Warrior" with 365 million and ascended to the throne of the box office champion!

So far, there are only three domestic movies with a box office of more than 300 million, "Titanic", "Time Warrior", and "Crazy Travel". However, "Titanic" invested $150 million, "Time Warrior invested" $120 million, and "Crazy Journey" invested only $20 million. It's an absolute miracle that a $20 million movie can beat two Hollywood A-grade productions to become the king of the box office!

"Crazy Travel" is not only crazy in the mainland, but also in Xiangjiang, Taiwan, Singapore, and even the entire East Asian region.

"Crazy Travel" was a box office hit in East Asia, in addition to Zhou Xingchi's appeal and the fact that the movie is very funny. The key is to meet the needs of different people, for example, in the past Hollywood movies, Oriental women often played exotic stunners, bearing the greedy gaze of Western men, it is difficult to see Eastern men and Western women falling in love, and the otaku played by Zhou Xingchi in "Crazy Travel" fell in love with the French beauty Melanie Loren, satisfying the psychology of many male audiences;

Soon after the box office was released, Zhang Ran's mobile phone, which was busy in the late stage of Tiangong's heavy color, rang, he thought it was Ning Hao calling to call him, and picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Ziyi. He walked out of the room and connected the phone: "Ziyi, why do you have time to call me?"

Zhang Ziyi said with a smile: "Director, congratulations, "Crazy Travel" has broken the record!"

Zhang Ran said in a reproachful tone: "The director of "Crazy Travel" is Ning Hao, and it is my record that has been broken, you actually came to congratulate me?

Zhang Ziyi smiled: "You are the big boss, Ning Hao, they worked for you, and in the end the money went into your pocket!

Zhang Ran educated: "Ziyi, you are the number one actress in China, can you pursue a little art, can you not keep mentioning money? vulgar, it's just too vulgar!"

Zhang Ziyi said eloquently: "I'm a vulgar person, and my favorite thing is to lie on the bed and count the money!"

Zhang Ziyi loves money is a well-known thing, but when she heard her say that her favorite thing is to lie on the bed and count money, Zhang Ran was still overturned, lying on the bed and counting money, isn't that a special worker, and said speechlessly: "I was really defeated by you." Don't worry, the dramas at the peak of the century have always had dividends!"

Zhang Ziyi laughed: "I'm joking with you, in fact, I just called to ask, after the filming of your "Big Earthquake" is over, is there a suitable role for me in the next new play?"

Zhang Ran has the script in his hand, but he doesn't have the time or heart to shoot it now: "I won't make any more movies before the Olympics are over, and I will spend all my energy on the Olympics next." I won't think about new films until after the Olympics, and if there is a suitable role at that time, I will definitely look for you, and I absolutely approve of your acting skills. ”

After a brief chat with Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ran hung up the phone and was preparing to meet the room. The phone rang again, it was Ning Hao's phone. As soon as it was connected, Ning Hao's extremely lewd laughter came. He took the phone farther away, scolded "fuck off", and then hung up the phone, not giving Ning Hao a chance.

While Zhang Ran was busy with the later stage of the movie, the New Year was getting closer and closer. Even if Zhang Ran throws the movie aside, he has a lot of things that he has to deal with, such as the company's year-end summary.

On February 14, in the conference room of the pinnacle of the century, the company's senior management and the leaders of various branches gathered together. Qiu Yuanxu of Golden Harvest, Gao Jun of Summit Pictures, Cai Yinong of the Tang Dynasty, etc., they are the skeleton of the entire company, an indispensable part, and with their existence, the big ship of the peak of the century can really sail to sea in the future!

Today's meeting is to take stock of last year and plan for the coming year.

Last year, Century Peak suffered a huge loss on paper, but it was not that Century Peak did not make money, but that the company expanded rapidly, made large-scale acquisitions, and invested. For example, the acquisition of Warner's cinemas, the acquisition of Silver Star Cinemas, etc., which cost a lot of money. In fact, from the perspective of specific projects, most of the projects at the peak of the century have made money, including "Crazy Travel", a box office giant that can bring more than 100 million revenues, and there are only two projects that really lose money, one is "Wounded City", and the other is the video website of the peak of the century.

"Wounded City" has an average box office in the mainland, and its performance in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia is also mediocre, and I instinctively thought that I could make a small profit, at least a draw, but it turned out to be a loss of 2 million, and the Century Summit website lost more than 40 million, mainly because the operating costs of the website are getting higher and higher, and it costs a lot of money to buy dramas. However, up to now, the peak of the century has more than 1,000 film copyrights and more than 50,000 TV series copyrights. Everyone is very optimistic about the future of the website, and when the copyright lawsuit starts in a year or two, it will be able to quickly turn over by distribution.

However, although the peak of the century is a loss on the books, the year is approaching, and the bonus should be obtained, and the dividends must not be less. Among them, many projects cannot be interrupted during the Spring Festival, requiring employees to work overtime, if there is no bonus, where will the employees get motivation.

The next item at the meeting was the work plan for the coming year. After listening to the plans of each branch, Zhang Ran nodded and said his thoughts, hoping that the peak of the century would release ten movies and strive for a box office of 1 billion. The main promotion is "Redemption" directed by Ding Sheng, "The Unspeakable Secret" directed by Jay Chou, and "Time and Space Warrior 2" released in the summer is the top priority.

In terms of TV series, Zhang Ran is most concerned about "Providence" and "Meteor Garden", "Providence" is the beginning of the "Dragon Group" series plan, if "Providence" fails, the conceived IP may be stillborn, and "Meteor Garden" is an important attempt to develop derivatives.

Zhang Ran attaches great importance to derivatives, emphasizing: "Last year, the global film box office was more than 30 billion US dollars, and the film derivatives market was more than 200 billion US dollars, of which the revenue of clothing derivatives alone exceeded 30 billion. Movies don't make money at the box office, what really makes money is the derivatives of movies. In the area of derivatives, we have experience, the T-shirts of "Time and Space Warrior" have been sold abroad for millions of pieces, and many people have worn them in China, but they have not done it in China, and we did not have the ability to do this at that time, so we can only watch the pirates make money!

The domestic derivatives market has only just started in recent years, and there are many problems, especially piracy, and there is almost no solution to it. Recently, "Crazy Travel" has been very popular, and the set of Wang Daren's clothes worn by Melanie Loren is particularly beautiful, but less than ten days after the movie was released, the same style of Melanie was sold on Taobao with great fanfare. Genuine Wang Daren's clothing is 2,000 yuan, and only 150 are sold on Taobao, I have looked at the sales of pirated versions, and at least tens of thousands of sets have been sold!

Derivatives belong to the pioneering stage in China, and it is certain that it is difficult to do, but if we do not open up, then this market will always be barren and it is impossible to grow its own fruits. In the past two years, we have been laying out the layout for the whole industry chain, but the company's development speed is much faster than we imagined, and now our video website registered users have exceeded 10 million, of course, there are still very few paying users; we have built 9 cinemas, and we also have a cinema in our hands; we also have the clothing brand of Alexander Wang; now the industrial chain layout has begun to increase the scale, and the ring of derivatives has taken shape, this year, on the basis of continuing to improve the industrial chain, derivatives can be forced!"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he looked up at the people present and said with a smile: "Tell me your opinion!"
