Fang Jianhao made the above answer at the meeting of Zhao Liying's studio to answer reporters' questions held on the afternoon of January 14.

There is no way, the tree is very windy.

At the beginning, Shen Lin and Fang Jianhao's strategy was to unswervingly take a low-key route and make a fortune in a muffled voice, but unfortunately, in the era of self-media, your company is so profitable, but you still want to be low-key?

The same is true for why the financial statements should be made public in accordance with the practice of listed companies.

Many people like to speculate on the reasons for the production of high-grossing movies for various reasons, and the simplest theory is 'money laundering!'

In the eyes of many people, film and television production is definitely the best choice for money laundering, because the production costs of the film industry are not transparent, such as script writing, if you find someone to write a script, the price can be 100,000, or 200,000, 500,000, and it is impossible to judge what level the script is and whether it will be popular... Others such as actors, equipment, etc. are all the same, and then the movie that claims to invest 100 million may only have a few million actual shooting funds, and then the rest of the money is laundered and returned, as for the box office, it doesn't matter...

Of course, Shen Lin admits that there is definitely money laundering in our country's film and television production industry, and there are many movies that don't look like big productions, but they claim to have spent more than 100 million yuan, and this thing is definitely money laundering!

Of course, he would never do it himself, and he didn't have to, his films have no shortage of investors!

But conspiracy theories are never lacking.

When some people mention Shen Lin, they say, 'Money launderer!'

it!

Public financial statements, while not enough to put an end to such rhetoric, can at least reassure most people.

At the same time, Fang Jianhao also disclosed the studio-related investment plan after 2016.

In addition to the "Tomb Robbery Notes" series, the "Fengshen" series and the "Flood Wilderness" series appeared in the company's plan.

That's not enough to cause controversy, the key is that the minimum investment cost of these series of big movies is $100 million!

Nima, Shen Lin is so bold.

For ordinary medium-sized companies, one commercial masterpiece a year is already very good, even if Huayi announced the 2016 film plan some time ago, it is not so awesome, people's big investment is only "Warcraft", and it is only a small investor, and the big head is in Legendary Pictures, that is, Legendary Pictures, which was acquired by Wanda.

The top media in the domestic row have all disclosed their film plans for 2016, and Lay's 2016 includes "The Great Wall", "Jue Ji", "Bounty Hunter", "Mechanic 2" and so on;

Wanda's 2016 is ambitious, with "King Kong: Skull Island", "Warcraft", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Wolverine 3" and of course Shen Lin's "Touching the Golden Captain", people are big capitalists and can afford big productions;

In terms of light, although there are many projects invested in 2016, only "Touching the Golden Captain" and "Chinatown Veteran 2" and of course "Bangkok Travel" can be called big productions;

Bona is still betting on HK director, "The Sword of the Third Young Master", "God of War Qi Jiguang", "Annihilation of the Dangerous City", by the way, Yu Dong didn't know how to hook up with Ang Lee, and decided to invest in his new work "Billy Lynn's Long Intermission"!

Ali also announced the 2016 film plan, and "The Ferryman" is impressively listed...

Shen Lin is good, and he will develop three series of works at one time.

“… We plan to have one film in the "Tomb Robbery Notes" series every year, with the first three films directed by Shen Lin, with a total investment of no less than 500 million US dollars; the "Fengshen" series, the producer and screenwriter are from Shen Lin to the people, the director is Wu Ershan, and the total investment of the first three films is not less than 500 million US dollars; the "Flood Waste" series is just a prototype, and even if it is done, it will have to wait until after 2020, but Shen Lin already has a draft of the general outline of the script..."

"As for TV dramas, we still work with Dongyang to bring you high-quality TV dramas in the afternoon, and our commitment is that the actors' fees will not account for 40% of the total production costs, and the filming has been confirmed to start "Ode to Joy" and "People's Righteousness"..."

In terms of variety shows, the studio will cooperate with Mango Satellite TV to produce an outdoor variety show, tentatively named "Longing for Life". ”

"That's all I want to say, what do you want to ask?"

Fang Jianhao looked up at the media in the audience.

A group of reporters were frightened by Mr. Fang's ambitions.

According to rough estimates, the investment in such movies, TV series, and variety shows, even if there are partners, the studio's investment is not less than $1 billion!

"We want to know that the company is so big that it is not afraid of losing money?"

"These projects are all made after long-term discussions and research with Disney, the domestic market is booming, and domestic films must also keep up with the rhythm, we are willing to be pioneers!"

"When will the "Tomb Robbery Notes" series and the "Gods" series meet us?"

"The first part of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has been confirmed to be released in December for the Chinese New Year, and the "Fengshen" series may have to wait until 2018..."

"Mr. Fang, Huayi announced a new film plan some time ago, and they are also preparing the "Legend of the Gods" series, will this bother you?"

"Hehe, "Romance of the Gods" is originally a treasure of the Chinese nation, anyone can shoot it, and "Journey to the West" has also filmed a lot of films!"

"I heard that Shen Lin decided to buy out and release Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" with a box office of 25 million..."

"It's not that high, the agreement we signed is 1.8 billion box office..."

"Can you give us an idea of the company's box office expectations for this film?"

"Well, from my point of view, there can be almost 1.8 billion, but Shen Lin said that at least 2.5 billion, he is the boss, just take his words as the standard!"

“… May I ask why Shen Lin didn't show up today?"

"Oh, he's on the phone at home, and the Oscar nominees are announced today!"

……

On January 14, 2016, the nominees for the 88th Academy Awards were announced.

"Carol" won four nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Score!

There was no director nomination, Shen Lin was a little disappointed, after all, he was a director, and he also focused on public relations of this project during public relations.

Shen Lin was a little disappointed, but the whole company was jubilant.

You can brush the layout for free for a month again!

Since the nomination of "Carol" was announced at the Golden Globe Awards, it has been hanging on the pages of major portals, winning awards, and directly occupying various headlines, and even Yang Ma has joined in the fun and reported several times.

Although many people are unhappy, they can't help it, who makes you not have this ability?

Now that the Oscar "Carol" has won four nominations again, Shen Lin can hang on the page for at least a month.

Many 'friendly forces' secretly hated behind their backs, but they did not dare to say anything publicly.

This is what people deserve.

Shen Lin was very calm, and methodically started the selection of the heroine of "Touching the Golden Captain".
