Chapter 102: A New Giant!

Early in the morning of the second day after Tianmu Studio's announcement, a big news occurred that was enough to affect the pattern of the entertainment industry in the next ten years.

Wanda Group held a press conference to announce its entry into the entertainment industry and established Wanda Film Group, and the deputy general manager of this newly established company is Wang Jinghua, the former director of Huayi's artist management department, who was caught in the exodus turmoil.

As soon as the news came out, all the entertainment reporters in the entire capital and even the whole country were moved, and almost all flocked to the press conference.

And the people in the domestic and entertainment circles are also watching the live broadcast of the press conference.

Everyone knows that with Wanda's financial resources and cinema companies, plus Wang Jinghua's stars and connections, it is enough to become another major film giant in China, and the previous balance of Huayi, Berna, and Guangxian is about to be broken!

On the top floor of the Berner Group, in the magnificent conference room, all the middle and senior leaders of the group, including Chairman Yu Dong, looked at the live broadcast on the projection screen with a serious face.

Judging from his decades of experience in the industry, Wanda is definitely not just about setting up a subsidiary this time, after all, even if it develops to the point of Berna, the annual profit is less than a fraction of others.

……

At the Wanda Pictures press conference, Wang Jinghua sat on the stage and looked at the group of reporters below.

At the beginning, she was going to set up a company by herself after being rejected by Li Mu, but what she never expected was that the assistant to the chairman of Wanda Group would personally call her to ask her to meet.

That was the first time she met Wang Jianlin, one of the top ten super-rich people in the country, and she was still very nervous in the entertainment industry for so many years facing a figure of this level.

To this day, she thinks everything is so incredible.

With the rapid development of the domestic film industry, Wanda is no longer just satisfied with the cinema chain.

The purpose of Wanda is to carry out the whole industry chain business of film and television investment, production, distribution, screening and post-production, and add a piece of territory to this business empire.

At this time, there was news of Wang Jinghua's departure, and the two sides hit it off, invested by Wanda, Wang Jinghua joined with more than half of its stars and enjoyed dividends.

This means that Wang Jinghua will also be working for himself in the future, but in order to be able to take away these people smoothly, Wanda also paid a price of 100 million.

After all, even if those actors signed contracts with Wang Jinghua personally, if Hua Yi really wants to go to court, this matter will be very difficult.

Thinking that he would become the vice president of the largest film and television group in China in the future, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but feel excited.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Jinghua picked up the microphone and cleared his throat to announce the official start of the press conference.

The reporters below were also impatient to wait, and they all squeezed forward desperately when they heard Wang Jinghua's words.

"Mr. Wang, why did you join Wanda Pictures, and is there any secret in this?"

"Mr. Wang, may I ask if you left Huayi in a premeditated manner?"

"Mr. Wang, have any celebrities left Huayi with you?"

……

Seeing the noise in the audience, Wang Jinghua frowned and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet and ask questions one by one!"

However, no matter how she called, no one paid attention to him, and they rushed to ask their own questions.

In the end, it was the press officer who helped her, turned the stereo to the highest pitch, and made a harsh and shrill sound to drown out the voices of the people, and the reporters were so frightened by the sound that they covered their ears and couldn't speak at once.

Seeing that the scene was instantly quiet, Wang Jinghua nodded with satisfaction, picked up the microphone and said slowly: "I know you have a lot of questions, please rest assured, I will answer them one by one today, first of all, let's talk about a few questions that everyone is most concerned about, first of all, I left Huayi not for a long time, it was Wang Dong who personally invited me to serve as the general manager of Wanda Pictures, I am deeply honored for this, thank you Wang Dong for thinking so highly of me." And this time there are some celebrities who came with me, and I'm grateful that they can believe in me so much!"

"Then may I ask Mr. Wang, who are the specific stars?"

"You'll find out later!"

"Mr. Wang, you just left with someone like this, how could Hua Yi let people go so easily?"

"My artists are all signed contracts with myself, and they have nothing to do with Huayi!" Wang Jinghua said with an unchanged face.

I'll go! You still have to be embarrassed, Hua Yi smashed a lot of resources down, and the stars brought out by you will have nothing to do with Hua Yi.

"Excuse me......"

Wang Jinghua calmly answered the reporter's questions, she has been in the entertainment industry for decades, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Everyone should ask the same question, now please ask our President Zhao to speak!" Seeing that the reporter's questions were focused on himself, Zhao Fang, the general manager sent by the group next to him, had not been ignored, Wang Jinghua quickly turned the topic to his side, although Wang Jianlin promised that the company's specific affairs would be decided by himself, but he was only a vice president, and it was still necessary to have a good relationship with Zhao Fang.

The reporters from Wanda in the audience immediately understood and transferred the topic to Zhao Fang's side.

"May I ask Mr. Zhao, your company has been involved in the film industry as early as 05 years and established Wanda Cinema Line, which has become the cinema company with the most theaters and screens in China, and now it will set up a film company, does it indicate that Wanda Group will fully enter the entertainment industry?"

Zhao Fang, who had been watching from the sidelines, heard the reporter's question, cleared his throat and said: "Hello friends from the media, I am very happy that you have come to attend the press conference of our Wanda Pictures, as the reporter said, now the domestic film market is becoming more and more mature, the number of moviegoers and the box office have risen sharply every year, with a huge population base, the group believes that at most in three years, the film industry in China will become the second largest film market in the world after the United States, so I was appointed to come to set up Wanda Pictures!"

Wow...... The reporters in the audience felt incredible when they heard Zhao Fang's words, and they must know that the total box office in China last year was only more than 4 billion, and there were less than 10 films with an annual box office of more than 100 million.

In last year's global box office rankings, the United States continued to lead the global film market, with a domestic box office of 9.87 billion yuan, Neon continued to rank second in the national box office, with a box office of 2.201 billion yuan, and the United States is still more than four times ahead of the second-place neon box office, and the countries ranked third to tenth in order of box office from high to low are: India, England, France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Italy, and South Korea.

Huaxia ranked twelfth, not even in the top ten, and the total box office was only one-third of that of the second-place Neon.
