Chapter 409 Huayi goes public

October is about to pass, and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is about to come to an end, as early as half a month ago, this all-star super movie broke the mainland box office champion of Chinese films held by "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" (324 million) with an irresistible momentum, and then the suspense lies in whether it can kill the 428 million of "Transformers", rewriting the situation that the mainland box office champion has been dominated by foreign language films since "Titanic".

Unfortunately, film screening ultimately depends on the market to coordinate, although "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has an unprecedented star lineup, an unprecedented huge film scheduling advantage, strong support from relevant departments, and countless government departments to charter the movie, but in the end it still lost to Hollywood's century-old film industry master "Transformers 2", a group of steel creatures with cool movie pictures, middle-to-low narrative techniques, and a huge impact on the childhood of generations of Chinese defeated the big ship that crashed on the iceberg and sank in the Atlantic, and blocked the charge of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and held the throne of the box office champion of mainland films.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" unfortunately ranked second in the mainland box office list, the mainland box office champion of Chinese films, with a total box office of 419 million, although the biggest highlight of this movie is counting stars, but it must be fair to say that this is not an ignorant and ridiculous red theme movie, as a movie, even if there are no bright stars, this movie can still be regarded as a qualified work.

The National Day file is below "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", which is produced by Huayi Brothers and adapted from the novel of the same name by the Mai family, which is in the fifth week of release. The film successfully broke through the 200 million mark and became Huayi Brothers' highest-grossing film so far this year. "The Wind" is expected to become Huayi's highest-grossing movie in 09, and now it is getting easier and easier to have a box office of over 100 million, and it is getting easier and easier to really test whether a movie is a box office hit, "200 million" has gradually become a new threshold, "The Wind" has just stepped into this threshold, for a niche spy war-themed movie, this is definitely a brilliant success.

This success. Thanks to the wonderful performances of several big-name actors and Huayi's strong publicity and distribution capabilities, Huayi earned tickets and the actors gained a good reputation. However, the biggest beneficiary is probably the two directors.

Chen Guofu's position within Huayi has been further consolidated after this battle, and the two kings have become more and more trusting of him, and he will be the producer of several major projects of Huayi Brothers in the future, and he has great power. You can almost control the choice of directors and actors. Some people say that Chen Guofu is the real master of Huayi Brothers, the uncrowned king, and there is some truth in this.

Another director, Gao Qunshu, has also gone from obscurity to the ranks of first-line directors, his film debut "Tokyo Trial" has a polarized reputation, and the second "The Wind" has reversed the decline and achieved such a high achievement, which is really envious of others, and now there are many investors who are looking for him to make movies with money. 200 million directors are still rare.

The big sale of "The Wind" is definitely good news for Huayi Brothers, but it is a bit worthless compared to the listing of Huayi Brothers on the GEM.

Recently. Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd. announced that it was officially listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and became the first listed film and television production company in China. After the listing, Huayi Brothers raised a total of 1.2 billion yuan, how to spend this money has become a hot topic, it is not difficult to see where this huge amount of money is going from the prospectus, "The company has been restricted by the scale of funds and cannot further expand the production scale of film and television works." After the funds raised this time are in place, the company will reach an annual output of 6 movies and 600 episodes of TV dramas. In addition, Huayi Brothers also intends to use the recruited funds to build multi-functional cinemas, build their own cinemas, invest in the development of derivative products, increase investment in economic affairs, and improve their own industrial chain.

In order to win over these stars, the tragedy of Wang Jinghua hollowing out Huayi artists will no longer occur, Huayi will sell shares internally, and many stars have taken this opportunity to become Huayi shareholders, among which Feng Xiaogang and Huang Xiaoming are the worst, the acquisition of shares is the most fierce, and Xiao Ming, who is nervous at hand, even borrowed money to buy Huayi's shares, they are the star shareholders who account for the most sharesAfter the company was successfully listed, their shares were worth more than 100 million yuan, and they became the richest among the stars.

In fact, if He Mu is determined to put Shuimu Forest on the market, his net worth will skyrocket to a terrifying point, Shuimu's potential is still very favored by the public, and He Mu's vision is also good, he has not seen it yet, even if the box office is not so ideal, "One Shot 147" has awards to make up for it.

There are many benefits to financing and listing, a large amount of cash flow will accelerate the company's development process, many things that dare not think and dare to do now dare to think and dare to do, but there are too many rules and regulations, too many restrictions, not free enough, the future will set up a general meeting of shareholders, everything must be for the sake of shareholders, and may even face the risk of being eaten dry by others, far less than now, the whole company only needs He Mu to call the shots, his ideas represent the absolute will of the company, so the company has a strong implementation and execution.

Of course, going public will always be one of his alternatives, and when the company really needs a lot of money to develop rapidly, perhaps he will carefully consider this issue.

In addition to the Huayi Brothers, who have just completed the financing and listing and have greatly increased their strength, the most popular this year is probably Shuimu Forest, under the leadership of young actor He Mu, Shuimu Forest's masterpieces have been frequently released, and movies have been sold well, and in less than a year, it has grown into a force that colleagues in the circle cannot ignore. And just after the annual dark horse "Glass Heart" was painted, Shuimu Forest immediately issued two announcements, one is to cooperate with Starlight Film and Television Culture Company to jointly shoot the film version of the famous online novel "My Beautiful Boss", the popular newcomer Jing Tian will play the role of Shishi, and the other is that Shuimu Forest will jointly develop the film project "Decisive Battle of Chama Town" with LeTV Entertainment and the famous advertising director Li Weiran, although both projects Mizuki does not occupy a leading position, but they are indispensable, The important position of Shuimu Forest in the Chinese film and television industry cannot be ignored more and more.

After the news leaked out and had a certain publicity effect, He Mu met Li Weiran, the director of "The Decisive Battle of Chama Town", although he used this film to prevaricate him in front of Xiong Da, but in fact, he has not officially agreed to star, and they met this time to talk about this issue.

"Director Li hasn't seen you for a long time, I don't know who Lu Dao is more inclined to star in this movie in your mind? Tell me what you think, starting with the heroine. He Mu went straight to the point.

"Mr. He, let's talk about the actor first, Tang Gaopeng is the core of the movie." Li Weiran felt that the configuration of other actors needed to revolve around the male lead.

"Don't talk about the actor, if I say I want to play Tang Gaopeng and Director Li, I shouldn't object, right?"

Li Weiran and Zhang Zhao looked at each other and smiled, "How can you object, it should be said that it is an honor, with Mr. He's backbone, I also have a basic plan for how other actors should choose." Li Weiran said, and then they began to discuss the heroine candidate, He Mu did not nominate Shishi as soon as he came up, he gave Li Weiran a chance to express his thoughts.

Li Weiran first expressed her idea of wanting to "destroy the goddess", "I hope that the performance and appearance of the heroine in "Brake Town" can subvert people's inherent impression of her in the past. "To put it bluntly, it is to pretend to be ugly and subvert.

Li Weiran said, "So this lady must have a dignified personality and beautiful appearance, at least in the eyes of the public, so that there can be a surprise of contrast." I have worked with such a female artist in advertising before, although she is not an actress and has no acting experience, but she is definitely a goddess-level artist, if she is subverted in the movie, coupled with the relationship with Mr. He, the selling point of the movie will definitely be 10%. ”

"What did Director Li say?" He Mu squinted his eyes and asked.

"Miss Zhang Zilin, your wife." Li Weiran said with a smile.

The corners of He Mu's mouth twitched, and as he expected, Li Weiran actually took a fancy to his wife, and asked Zhang Zilin, the dignified lady of the world, the proprietress of Mizuki, and the darling of the fashion industry, to play a village girl, and he could figure it out, "Don't think about this Director Li, it's impossible, do you have any other suitable candidates?" He Mu directly refused, and then asked rhetorically, if he didn't have him, he would have to sacrifice poetry.

Li Weiran asked what he was doing, was he worried about acting? Are you not used to filming and working together as husband and wife? Don't you want your wife to develop into an actress?

He Mu was annoyed by Li Weiran's question, and replied directly, "These reasons are not true, mainly because Zilin's physical condition is not allowed, and everyone should understand this when I say this." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded with a smile on his face, "I read the gossip a few days ago, saying that it was the young lady of the world who went out to go shopping, and her posture was a little fat, maybe she was pregnant with a child, could it be true?" ”

He Mu generously admitted, "Pregnancy is like conceiving a talent, you can't hide it, and I don't disagree with the two of you, that gossip is true, so Director Li shouldn't beat my wife's idea, it's impossible for her to come out to take over the drama now." ”

Li Weiran closed his mouth regretfully, He Mu saw the opportunity, "Actually, I ...... here", at the same time as he spoke, Zhang Zhao on the other side also said the same thing, "Actually, I ...... here" (to be continued......
