Chapter 132: End of 2015
The market value of domestic media companies, especially listed companies, is greatly affected by the quality of the films produced or distributed.
The market is not very mature, and it is easy to be influenced by a certain movie.
At the beginning, when Feng Xiaogang's "Private Custom" was listed, Huayi's stock plummeted, and this time it was replaced by Light Media!
It doesn't matter, next year, there will be "The Ferryman" that will cause the stock price of Alibaba Pictures to plummet!
Therefore, for media companies that have been listed, the pursuit should not be the gains and losses of a movie, but the quality of the released films, otherwise there will be a few more movies like "Villain Angel", whether the big boss can withstand it, even Shen Lin will have an opinion on the light!
What's special, there are hundreds of millions less for no reason, who can calm down?
Even if the word-of-mouth is ridiculously poor, "Villain Angel" can still steal more than 600 million box office results in such a crowded schedule.
Deng Chao's popularity is really high!
It should be said that the effect of "Running Man" is really powerful.
By the way, the year-end dividend, Wang Sinion directly transferred 200 million yuan to Shen Lin's account.
……
The struggle in the domestic box office market was fierce, and the three films did not give in to each other.
But most people don't care about this, movies can only be regarded as consumer goods in leisure time for the people, and no one can expect a movie to last a lifetime.
Most people don't change their work or leisure plans because of this.
With the arrival of New Year's Day, the annual year-end evaluation is released.
Shen Lin has been ranked in the top three of the Forbes China Celebrity List for three consecutive years, compared with the second place last year, this year it has gone one step further and directly occupied the top position.
The influence of Cannes and the Golden Globes can be seen.
On the list of artist income, Shen Lin still occupies the chief.
all know that Shen Lin's salary for making movies is directly linked to the box office.
This year, Shen Lin personally directed two films, "Operation Mekong" and "Carol", the former got a domestic box office result of 2.2 billion, according to the director sharing agreement signed between him and Bona, Shen Lin can get the basic director's salary of 20 million plus 10.5% of the box office share, together, a total of 230 million;
"Carol" belongs to Zhao Liying's studio, which occupies 90% of the investment and distribution share, with a publicity and distribution cost of nearly 60 million, a total of 620 million domestic box office, and a total of almost 30 million US dollars in foreign copyrights;
The two movies directly made Shen Lin earn close to 500 million.
Compared with last year's "Super Body", which earned more than $200 million in a movie, this year's Shen Lin is undoubtedly a little behind in terms of making money.
However, fortunately, "Carol" won the award, successfully won the Cannes Palme d'Or, and won two Cannes actresses with a film.
It does not affect Shen Lin's status as a director.
Compared with 2014, this year's Zhao Liying studio is undoubtedly more like a media company, rather than the previous workshop-style studio that simply served Shen Lin and Zhao Liying.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the studio invested in a large number of TV series, web dramas, including movies.
"Descendants of the Dragon" was broadcast on the stars, which directly created hundreds of millions of net profits for the studio (the cost was 200 million, Mango Satellite TV won the first round of broadcast rights with 320 million, and this round and the third round of broadcast rights bought almost 100 million);
The TV series "The Pretender" and "Langya Bang", which were jointly invested and produced with Dongyang Afternoon, once again brought nearly 200 million net profits to the studio;
In terms of online dramas, "The Best of Us" and "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" include "Residual Sin", which is being processed in the post-production, which does not make a lot of money, but further consolidates the studio's compulsion.
This year, the studio tried film distribution for the first time, and the results were good, "Wolf Warrior" successfully won a box office score of nearly 800 million, "Heart Labyrinth" almost broke 100 million at the box office, and "Carol" created a new box office record for domestic literary films.
Several films participated in the production were all big hits, especially "Monster Hunt" and "The Return of the Great Sage", the former directly set a box office record for Chinese films.
"Monster Hunt", Shen Lin invested in his personal capacity, and the studio participated in the distribution.
"The Return of the Great Sage", Shen Lin also participated in the investment in his personal capacity, and the studio participated in the distribution.
The profits brought by the two movies made all film and television companies look sideways.
Shen Lin's vision has become the most trusted banner in the film and television investment circle!
It doesn't matter if he is awesome alone, the two of them broke out collectively.
This year, Yingbao only has two big-screen works, "Monster Hunt" and "Carol", one makes money and the other wins awards!
"Monster Hunt" has completely established Yingbao's status as the queen of the box office on the big screen, and the most direct role is that the number of advertisements she endorses has increased by 12 again, and the endorsement fee has also doubled;
The Cannes actress of "Carol" confirmed the status of Yingbao's acting school.
A new generation of Xiaohuadan who has both commercial appeal and no lack of acting skills, her influence today is no worse than that of Zhao Junqi back then!
What's more, people are still on the rise, and there are no black spots.
On weekdays, you are either in the crew, or you stay at home, or go shopping with a few girls.
How can such an actress be black?
However, Shen Lin had two scandals in a year, which somewhat affected his image as a good man in the hearts of the people, although it was quickly 'clarified' that it was just a rumor, but there are still many netizens who firmly believe that Shen Lin's character has collapsed!
In 2015, Zhao Liying's studio began to develop explosively, and the number of films and TV series invested and distributed rose rapidly.
Especially in October, he signed Hu Ge, the hottest star in China, which had a great impact.
A lot of people wonder if the studio is going to go public or something.
Shen Lin didn't admit it publicly, but he discussed the idea with Fang Jianhao.
It is unanimously agreed that now is not a good time, adhere to the strategy of sneaky development, build a high wall, recruit grain, and slowly become the king!
Low-key is king!
2015 is also the year when Shen Lin lost the annual single-film box office champion for the first time after his debut!
In 2011, "Those Years" gave him the first place to win the annual box office champion;
In 2012, "Chinatown Veteran" set a record box office of 2 billion;
In 2013, a "Interstellar" movie directly spread Shen Lin's commercial film ability all over Hollywood;
In 2014, "Super Body" directly won the global box office of more than 900 million US dollars at a cost of 30 million US dollars, establishing its status as a master of commercial films;
Then, in 2015, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Operation Mekong" directed by him were both bumper, but it was not as good as "Fast and Furious 7" and "Monster Hunt", and the mainland box office list only ranked third.
Although the overseas box office of "Operation Mekong" far exceeded that of "Monster Hunt", but at the domestic box office, Shen Lin did lose to Xu Chengyi!
Many fans of Shen Lin have expectations for him and feel that he is bound to snatch back the 2016 box office championship!
