Chapter 144: The Dignified...
As of November 2012, the number of screens in China reached 15,000.
Everyone can see that Chinese films are ushering in a period of rapid development, and theaters will definitely be able to make money, so major theaters are expanding rapidly!
Huiwen Cinemas currently has nearly 1,100 screens, and the pace of acquisition has been temporarily stopped, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to digest the sequelae of rapid expansion...
15,000 screens, when all the seats are full 24 hours a day, the highest market is 400 million.
It's impossible!
A quarter of them is already a situation where the number of moviegoers is overwhelming.
The number of the big market is here, and it is unlikely that there will be two barley movies, not to mention that "The Gift of Room No. 7" has been spread by word of mouth, and it can only be said that "Cold War" is unlucky...
Huiwen's 2012 year is so awesome that it is bursting!
At the beginning of the year, the box office of "The Great Gold Robbery" broke 300 million, which was a good start.
"Embroidered Spring Knife 2", which was originally released in May, made many people in the industry find a sense of balance...
Then, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" in June, "The Wind of the King of Wong Fei Hung" in July, and "Dao Ma Dan" in September were box office successes one after another!
originally thought that "Room Seven Gift" would break the level of 100 million at most - the industry often gathers and communicates with each other, Huang Wen himself said that the box office expectations for "Room No. 7 Gift" are not high...
Damn, it's going to be 1 billion soon!
As of November, the total box office for the whole year is 14 billion, of which foreign imported films account for 54%, and the remaining total is only 6.2 billion, of which Huiwen Tianxia occupies 4 billion!
What do you want to do in the world?
Do you eat meat yourself and don't give people a mouthful of soup to drink?
The most important thing is that none of the movies released are directed by Xu Hui!
This power makes people scared and even more jealous...
Don't forget, Zhang Yimou is also tied to Huiwen!
Chen Snail, Yang Qing, and Lu Yang received a bunch of olive branches...
Especially Yang Qing, as a mature director who has already released four movies, he has received more invitations, including Pony Bento!
Pony's boss visits him personally to convince him to rejoin Pony and promises to give him a five-percent stake...
Yang Qing was a little moved.
In 2012, Xiaoma was only one step away from going public, and had passed the IPO and obtained the funds for the equity investment of Jianyin Cultural Industry, amounting to 750 million yuan, which is definitely a big deal!
However, he also has a high degree of freedom to stay in Huiwen, he has his own director's studio, and he makes a lot of money!
"The Gift of Room No. 7" can get 8% of the box office dividends, plus the original director's salary, close to 100 million in income!
The dividend agreement signed by Huiwen Tianxia and the director is capped at 8%...
But who thinks they earn less?
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to talk to a few buddies.
……
Yang Qing had a good relationship with Ning Hao and Xu Guangtou, and the three of them made an appointment at Ning Hao's house.
We met in the afternoon, chatted briefly, and then had dinner.
While eating, Xu Hui knocked on the door and came in.
He received a notice from Ning Hao...
To be honest, Xu Hui was a little difficult to accept.
Although Yang Qing already had works before joining Huiwen, "Nightclub", but at that time, his works, including his own directing style, were still groping, the filming of "Old Boy", although the director was him, but Xu Hui also gave a lot of pertinent advice, especially in terms of rhythm and composition, when it came to "Hot Pot Hero", the first version failed to pass the review, Xu Hui led a group of people and almost knelt to the Film Bureau, which was in exchange for the smooth release of "Hot Pot Hero".
"Room No. 7 Gift", the screenwriter, plot concept, including the idea of taking it to Hong Kong for filming, were also provided by Xu Hui!
Damn, do you want to leave now that you have a nickname?
It's too much!
Originally, he received a call at two o'clock in the afternoon and set off directly, without telling Huang Wen.
It is said that you can get to Ning Hao's house in an hour, but the road is blocked for almost two hours...
Sometimes a traffic jam can also calm a person's anger.
He thought about it for a long time, just like Ning Hao said, everyone has their own choice, especially the director, maybe he wants to try other directions and doesn't want to be bound!
It's not easy for a mountain city to come to the capital, and I heard that I used to drink with a bunch of big brothers in order to make a living...
……
"Xu... Mr. Xu..."
Yang Qing was a little surprised, he hadn't decided whether to leave Huiwen World or not.
Is this the door?
"Wow, hand grab lamb!"
After two hours of blockage, the gas was almost gone, and my stomach was hungry.
Taking the dishes and chopsticks handed by Xing Ai, Xu Hui said, 'Thank you, sister-in-law', and then sat down.
The scene was embarrassing at one point...
Yang Qing wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Xu Guangtou and Ning Hao.
Eat well!
"You guys go to the study, I'll clean up the rest!"
“… Excuse me, sister-in-law..."
After eating, Xing Aina offered to let the gang get out...
Transfer scenes.
Taking the cigarette handed by Ning Hao, Xu Hui lit it, took a puff, then stared at Yang Qing and asked, "What conditions did Xiaoma put forward over there?"
"Brother Li said he wanted me to go back and help him..."
“… And then what?"
They are all adults, so they don't believe that there is no exchange of interests!
"He said that as long as Pony goes public, he will give me five percent of the original shares!"
“… Five percent of the original shares, what a big cake!"
Xu Hui sneered, Li Ming himself owns twenty-three percent of Xiaoma's equity, and he can barely occupy the status of a major shareholder through cross-holding, and his sister unilaterally controls more than thirty percent!
Can he divide five percent of the shares to Yang Qing?
“… As far as I know, the pony is currently in the middle of a family fight, and even if you go, you may not have a chance to do what you can do!"
This is usually the case for family-owned companies, and a chaotic shareholding structure can easily lead to a battle for control.
Li Ming can barely hold it down now, because Xiaoma was founded by him, and he is the soul of Xiaoma!
“… Yang Qing, not to mention whether Brother Li will really give you five percent of the shares, if you really leave Huiwen, will you still be so free now? If Brother Li asks you to make a movie every year, or how much box office your work must have, what will you do?"
Ning Hao also persuaded.
Yang Qing was a little incomprehensible, Xu bald: "When we first came to Huiwen, it was because there were no constraints that we could make the movies we wanted to make, and the company didn't stipulate how many works we had to complete each year..."
Xu Hui touched the tip of his nose and was a little embarrassed: "... There is still a rule that at least three movies must be released in five years!"
"What is the rule for making three movies in five years? It's not three movies a year!"
Ning Hao asked rhetorically, and Xu Guangtou said with feeling: "I think the most important thing to be a director is to meet a group of like-minded friends and an investor who understands us, from this aspect, I really don't think Pony is a good choice!"
