Ali Pictures' 2015 financial report was released in February, with a loss of hundreds of millions!

Normally, film companies that are new to the film industry always have to pay money to buy some lessons, didn't Wanda Pictures come over like this at the beginning.

Besides, Ali Yinghou is backed by Da Ali, which is the most critical part of Ali's entertainment industry chain, so it is impossible for Ma Yun's father to leave him alone, and shareholders have confidence in him.

What's more, Ma Yun's father strategized and directly merged the Taobao business into Ali Pictures, and recently it was rumored that he would hand over his Heyi Pictures to Ali Pictures, it is conceivable that Ali Pictures' status in Ma Yun's father's heart is not low!

In addition, "The Ferryman", escorted by Wang Jiawei this year, is about to be launched, so the stock price of Alibaba Pictures has not declined, but has maintained a good growth.

Compared with when Shen Lin and Zhao Liying started, the stock price has increased by at least 4 times.

"Wow! I'm rich!"

Ying Bao checked his stock account, the original 80 million, now there is 350 million.

"Yes, you little rich woman!"

Shen Lin smiled and pinched her nose.

"Then I'll give you the money..."

Li Ying thought about it and handed the phone to Shen Lin.

"What are you doing for me?"

Shen Lin was a little baffled.

"Aren't you going to do a theatrical theater?"

“… Silly daughter-in-law, I'm not short of money, you earned it, I earned it!"

Shen Lin was a little moved, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and then calculated an account: "I invested 600 million US dollars at the beginning, sold half of it last year, cashed out 600 million US dollars, and there are still 6 percent of the shares left, and these 6 percent are now worth nearly 800 million US dollars!"

"Are you ready to sell them all?"

"How is it possible, all of them are sold, who will buy them? There are not so many retail investors taking over, and there are so many sales at one time, which has a great impact on the stock price..."

“… So, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Liying has no interest in these at all.

"Well, let's find someone to take over, Zhao Junqi took over last year, who are you looking for this year?"

"Find Ma Yunbei, he has money anyway!"

“… You have a point!"

Shen Lin nodded, agreeing with his daughter-in-law's suggestion.

"Shen Lin, how do you think I should spend so much money?

Li Ying changed the subject.

"Whatever you want, as long as you don't take drugs, don't gamble, and don't have a little white face, what do you like!"

"Hmph, you're just raising a little white face!"

After pondering for a while, Li Ying said, "Otherwise, I'll donate some money to repair the road in our hometown, as well as the school's teaching building..."

……

In the next ten days, Shen Lin has been busy discussing things about the literary theater with iQiwei, and the news quickly spread throughout the circle.

Most people will give a thumbs up, but some will just scold 'Stupid!

Similar to what Shen Lin expected, iQiwei agreed to contribute 20 percent, and the remaining 80 percent was provided by Shen Lin.

In terms of iQibi, it began to open up a literary theater line on June 1.

A group of people in the Beijing circle knocked on the side and wanted to inquire about the news, but they only knew that Shen Lin had paid for an online literary and art theater, and no one knew what it was.

Shen Lin's mouth is very strict, and the entire studio is strictly kept secret from the outside world.

In addition to this incident, Shen Lin really met Ma Yun and sold his shares in Ali Pictures, only keeping one percent.

With the cash-out money, Shen Lin immediately started negotiations with Da Lao Wang and ate half of the shares of Xinli in Da Lao Wang's hand at a price of 800 million.

Almost busy, Shen Lin prepared to leave for North America.

The preliminary preparations for "La La Land" have been completed, and Mianda has called several times to ask Shen Lin to hurry to Los Angeles, and he can't wait!

Still, there was something he needed to deal with.

The release schedule of "July and Ansheng" is arranged!

……

The May Day of 2016 came as scheduled.

Again, the brutal growth of domestic films in 2015 caused the weakness of Chinese films in 2016.

Coupled with the fact that the box office in February was too hot, it directly extracted all the enthusiasm for watching movies in the first half of this year.

The number of screens continues to increase, and the theater chain continues to build new ones, but unfortunately, the box office of the movie not only did not continue to grow as expected, but even declined compared with last year!

Especially in April's box office market, the market is only less than 70% of last year's.

No way, there was "Fast and Furious 7" last April.

But so far, in addition to the various popularity of the Spring Festival file, the movie schedule in the first half of the year is not hopeful at all.

It doesn't matter if it's an April Fool's Day file, a Qingming file, or the upcoming May Day file!

In this year's May Day, a total of seven domestic films competed.

"Beijing Meets Seattle: A Love Letter", "Hot Pot Hero", "Phantom of the Demon Palace", "Tang Xuanzang", "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", "Dream Partner" and "Fantasy Forest", which has been released for half a month

At the top of the list must be "North West 2", which has a good reputation in the previous one, this work starring the original cast, even if you know that this is a work of money, there will definitely be many viewers who are willing to pay for it.

In fact, it is true, in three days on May Day, the box office of "North West 2" was reported to be 280 million, occupying the top spot, but on the third day of release, the box office has been counterattacked by "Hot Pot Hero", which occupies only 18% of the film schedule, and since then, "North West 2" has never won the single-day box office championship!

No way, the reputation is too bad!

Typical shoddy production, the sincerity of the circle of money is really a little lacking, except that the actors have a little relationship with the previous work, and the plot has no connection with BJ and Seattle.

On the other hand, although "Hot Pot Hero" is a rookie director, the leading actors are strong, the plot of the movie is passable, the quality is not bad, and the word-of-mouth advantage is huge, if it weren't for the previous work of "North West 2" is too attractive, it is estimated that the next day, the box office has been overtaken!

As of May 6, "Hot Pot Hero" has received a box office score of 480 million, which is almost exactly the same as Shen Lin expected before!

To be honest, "Hot Pot Hero" didn't participate in variety show promotion, and it was Zhao Liying's fans who gave it such a high box office result!

As for the remaining films, whether it is "The Phantom of the Palace" created by the original team of "Beijing No. 81" or "Dream Partner" directed by Zhang Taiyou, the director of "You from the Stars", the box office is very poor, and the loss is certain.

"Phantom of the Palace" proves that Ruby Lin has never had box office appeal!

As for "Dream Partner", it means that Tangtang and Yao Dazui together can't save a bad movie!

As for "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", I really responded to that sentence, youth films still need to have traffic and fresh meat to play the starring role, otherwise, no one will really watch bad movies.

"Tang Xuanzang" focuses on Huang Xiaoming, Brother Xiao Ming has never had box office appeal, but he won the Best Actor at the Changchun Film Festival with this film, which can be regarded as a slight gain.

On May 6th, "American Team 3" will be released in the mainland!
