A week later, when the box office numbers of "Looking for Li Feiteng", "Love Me Indefinitely", "Ghost Shadow", and "Liao Zhai Yizhi" were uploaded to the headquarters of Tengda Media Group, Wang Zhonglei, the president in charge of film investment, immediately passed the box office numbers to Chairman Li Feiteng.

At this time, Li Feiteng was working in the Google Group, busy with the LP3 music player, including the improvement of LP3 format technology.

Sitting in front of a computer, after he received Wang Zhonglei's email, he opened it and looked at the box office numbers of these four movies, he laughed in surprise and said to himself: "Yes, making movies is really making money." ”

"Looking for Li Feiteng" had a box office of 52.6 million yuan a week.

"Love Me Indefinitely" lasted for 12 days and had a box office of 41 million yuan.

"Ghost" lasted for 21 days and had a box office of 25.6 million yuan.

"Chatting about Different Aspirations" lasted for 26 days and had a box office of 24.3 million yuan.

Judging from this latest box office figure, Li Feiteng knows that the movie "Looking for Li Feiteng" will break through the box office of 100 million a week later, which is basically not a difficult thing.

And the popularity of "Love Me Indefinitely" was also expected by him.

However, the box office of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" was dismal, which was something that Li Feiteng did not expect at all, this movie feels better than "Ghost Shadow", why didn't it attract the box office?

Thinking about it, it is still because of the market, there are still too few genuine audiences, and after they spend money to watch one or two movies, they may not be willing to spend money to watch other movies.

You must know that this is still the prime time of the National Day, according to the usual time. Their movie consumption will definitely be less.

Four domestic films. The cumulative box office this month has exceeded 100 million. Last year, China's domestic films and foreign films created a total value of about 700 million yuan in the film market.

And this year, Li Feiteng predicts that the Chinese film market will break through the 1.5 billion yuan mark.

However, this is far from enough, just imagine, a foreign movie. Many of the box offices can exceed 100 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to the total amount of the current Chinese film market.

There are 1.3 billion people in China, and the audience that can enter the cinema now is probably only tens of millions, which may not be enough.

On the one hand, movie tickets are indeed more expensive, on the other hand, it also shows that everyone's income is generally not high, and the gap between the rich and the poor is still provoked, rich people have no time to watch movies, and those who have no money are reluctant to watch movies.

It's not that there is no market in Huaxia, but that the people are not willing to contribute their hard work and money to the movie.

What can be done by Li Feiteng. It is to try to open up the market and create better film works. He has no way to adjust too many changes in the film market, such as lowering the price, although this is a way, but if the audience is unwilling, even if the movie ticket is a little cheaper, it will not have much effect.

If you want to really make movies cheaper, you still have to invest in more movie theaters.

This year is 2001, and the radio and television department has not yet opened the threshold for film distribution, and both shooting and screening need to go through heavy audits.

There are no privatized cinema chains.

It will not be until next year that Huaxia Film will begin to implement the cinema system, and theaters can freely choose the cinema chain to join and obtain the source of the film.

Film shooting does not need to be monopolized by film studios, as long as you obtain a shooting permit and a screening permit, you can make a movie and release it.

For example, the movies produced by Tengda Group are actually the directors and directors of United Yanjing Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio, such as Han Ye, who is a chairman of Tengda Media Group, and all movies must be hung with his name.

The cinema system has actually begun to be studied now, and Li Feiteng has also received a notice that at the end of this month, he will go to the Radio and Television Bureau to have a meeting together.

Today, radio and television will first open three cinema chains, so that the current film production companies can compete and obtain the right to use the cinema chains.

The Wanda department in the previous life was prepared to be established after next year, Li Feiteng is alone, although he has the capital and strength to make the largest cinema in China, but the cinema line does not only need money, but also has connections and relationships.

This matter is particularly important, if Tengda Media Group has its own theater, it does not need to give China Film Group a large share of profits in terms of distribution, Tengda's own theater line, of course, can make two more money.

In the evening, Li Feiteng and Wang Jianlin had a better time to eat and discuss in the Mandarin Duck Building.

Wang Jianlin is still very rich, but now that he sees Li Feiteng, he is not as confident and proud as before.

He lowered his head and modestly stretched out his hand, shook hands with Li Feiteng and smiled: "Feiteng, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm just busy with software, Brother Wang, let's go in and talk. ”

"Okay, good, go in and say, go in and say. ”

After Wang Jianlin and Li Feiteng arrived at the room, the meal was ready, Li Feiteng liked to drink some liquor, he poured wine and smiled: "Mr. Wang, drink some?"

"Drink, of course you have to drink something...... Wang Jianlin nodded with a smile, when he is facing Li Feiteng now, he really needs to drink some wine to suppress the shock, this kind of surprise is not a panic, but a kind of surprise, a feeling of incomparable amazement at the rise speed of the young man in front of him, the speed of wealth accumulation.

Really, in just two or three years, the young man in front of him is in the sky and the ground with him.

Li Feiteng is now the world's top richest man, while Wang Jianlin can only be said to be the top richest man in the mainland, which is not enough compared to Li Jiacheng, let alone compared with Li Feiteng.

The most important thing is that this young man, a few years ago, was an inconspicuous entrepreneur.

Wang Jianlin also took a fancy to Li Feiteng's relationship a long time ago, such as Li Kaitai.

But now it seems that his thoughts at that time were too ridiculous, and the young man in front of him is really a person worth looking at.

The two toasted each other and drank together, both thinking about a lot of things in their hearts.

Li Feiteng is not as sentimental as him, after thinking carefully about the theater line, he said: "Brother Wang, I came here this time to talk to you about the theater that Radio and Television is preparing to open." ”

Wang Jianlin listened, and he also said solemnly: "This matter is more important, and I have long wanted to talk to you." ”

"Well, anyway, the central government can release the theater chain from the monopoly China Film Group, which is a rare opportunity for us, I heard that there are three theater chains this time, my idea is that we can win at least two together, if we can win three, it would be better. ”

Wang Jianlin didn't expect his ambition to be so big, and said: "Winning all three articles, is there too much investment." ”

Li Feiteng shook his head and said: "It's not much at all, now the film market in China, in terms of production, we Tengda Media Group occupy 8% of the box office market every year, including blockbusters, which are also introduced by us as an agent, whether it is the investment department or the production department, it is quite mature." ”

"My plan is to build the largest cinema company in China, and also acquire other cinema chains in Europe and the United States, and wait until ten years later, Tengda Media Group will become one of the largest cinema companies in the world, and not only that, but also have a production base comparable to Hollywood...... Of course, Brother Wang, I need your Wanda Group to work together. ”

Li Feiteng said very far, and he is also very confident, what he wants to do not only requires Wanda Group, including Feiteng Industrial Group, and Longteng Holding Group, to invest in it, because the investment cost of the film is also very high.

The most important thing is that the risk of investing in movies is still very high, especially since online literature has not really developed, and there is no domestic blockbuster that Huaxia can create really good scripts and make the audience particularly like.

"This year, the "Hero" we invested in is a relatively large-cost movie, and if the box office of this movie is good, our Wanda Group will definitely not be timid. ”

This was said by Wang Jianlin, his ideas are not so radical, and compared with Li Feiteng's boldness, he is a little worried.

Because Tengda Media Film is already a behemoth, Li Feiteng's company has invested 700 million US dollars, and Wanda Group, General Industry Group, and Xiangjiang have also invested a total of 300 million US dollars.

With a real value of more than $1 billion, there is no other company in Asia that is larger than Tengda Media Group.

1 billion US dollars, in 2001, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was 10 billion yuan.

Because in this era, foreign exchange funds are still relatively scarce, and it is very difficult to cash out so many dollars at any time.

Moreover, for example, Li Feiteng's attempt to corporatize the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is now declining, and the capital of foreign exchange has begun to move closer to the gold market.

In two years, Li Feiteng really does not need to use US dollars to invest, he will choose to hold RMB, or simply do not use currency, and adopt the method of trading shares to complete his various investments.

Because using currency, it means all kinds of handling fees, all kinds of taxes, which will not be a big loss for people with little money, but if for Li Feiteng, he has 10 billion US dollars, and if he wants to convert it into RMB, because of various handling fees, after getting it down, he will lose more than 200 million US dollars.

Where did the more than $200 million go?

It's not to the relevant departments yet.

Most of Li Feiteng's money is still hard-earned money, and he has never felt that it is his own money.

He feels that his wealth has something to do with everyone in the world, because sooner or later, Li Feiteng will return it to the people to enhance his influence and fame.

Sometimes, it is good for the country, but sometimes, Li Feiteng is very afraid, and the money he contributed may really disappear without a trace. (To be continued......)
