At the beginning of 2005, Huayi Brothers Company did seem to be thriving, whether it was film investment, star brokerage or distribution business, it showed a thriving trend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info∷Top∷Point∷Small∷ Say,

For example, the investment in "No Thieves in the World" and the release of "Kung Fu" are enough to make Huayi remembered by the entire industry! The top three directors on the 2004 box office list were Stephen Chow, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, except for Zhang Yimou, who was a partner of New Picture Film Company. Feng Xiaogang and Stephen Chow, one is the queen director who signed a long-term contract with Huayi Company, and the other is also a director who has strategic cooperation with Huayi Company.

In terms of star lineup, within a few years after joining Wang Jinghua, the first agent in the entertainment industry, Huayi's annual income of more than 500,000 yuan is considered a star, with nearly 20 people and more than 100 signed artists.

It is conservatively estimated that last year, Huayi Brothers' revenue exceeded 400 million yuan, and its net profit was also hundreds of millions. Purely in terms of film and television revenue, Huayi can be said to be the most leading company in the past year.

Despite many people's feelings, companies with the word brother seem to be awesome. There was Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States at the beginning, and then the Shaw Brothers Film Company, and then Huayi Brothers Company today......

After Wang Qinian talked with the head of China Film, he participated in Huayi's celebration meeting together.

In addition to the fact that everyone is a factor in the same circle, more importantly, the partner company is also a shareholder of Huayi, with 20% of the equity, although it does not hold a controlling stake, but it can talk to Huayi's managers and make some suggestions.

"Congratulations to Boss Wang, the champion of the domestic film box office market in 05 is actually Huayi!" Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Aren't you also Boss Wang?" Wang Zhongjun also smiled, "However, we can't compare with you." Last year, it was the partner company that let us, if not, it would be Huayi's turn! ”

Wang Qinian said with a smile: "In terms of pure industrial layout, Huayi is very successful!" The director and star are not bad, and more importantly, Brother Jun, you have a good vision, and you are a person on the scene. With a lot of friends and a wide range of friends, it's easy to do a good job! ”

"Hehe, what kind of communication do I have!" Wang Zhongjun laughed at himself and said, "I'm such a person, I can't do anything, I'm too lazy to do it." He will only eat, drink, play cards, and hang out with people. Let me do the serious work, how is it possible! ”

"That's work!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "Everyone works in a different way, and I also envy Brother Jun, just play with people casually, and do a good job." If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do it! ”

"Brother Wang, don't be modest. You've done a much more successful career than me!! Wang Zhongjun said with a smile. Just the little partner company opened more than a dozen movie theaters in one go, which is something we can't compare! ”

Some entrepreneurs in this era rely on eating, drinking, and having fun, and after establishing relationships, they rely on connections to make money. Of course, there are also a lot of people who are bold. How productive the land is, and succeeds by gambling and risking it.

What really relies on wisdom and knowledge to succeed is to wait until the opportunities in traditional industries are exhausted, and then there are various high knowledge thresholds. and the creativity-driven industry, which is beginning to surpass the traditional industry.

The traditional mode of eating, drinking, gambling and betting made a fortune, and later caused countless people to go bankrupt.

In the future, there will be countless people who will often sigh, how can some billionaires in our small place go to Macau to gamble, lose all their worth, and still owe a lot of debt? From the scene of hugging and hugging, to the sneaky characters who hide everywhere and dare not see people? It stands to reason that he has made so much money in the past and has an IQ, how can he be stupid?

In fact, success in the past did not depend on IQ. People think of success as IQ, which is obviously a misunderstanding. It is certainly possible for those with high IQs to succeed, but in an era where success can be achieved only by relying on connections and luck, countless people with low IQs have also become billionaires.

The real test is whether the other party has IQ, not to envy his fortune. But after making a fortune, the future development is whether there is IQ, pattern, whether it can keep the family business, and there is still development.

"Cinema, Brother Jun can too!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "To open a theater with an area of more than 2,000 square meters in the capital, now you only need to invest more than 20 million yuan, and in the future, it may be far more than that!" ”

"I can't afford it!" Wang Zhongjun shook his head again and again when he heard this.

Why doesn't Huayi invest in cinemas? What about not engaging in theaters?

Because, movie theaters seem to have much lower operating risks than film investment, but they are heavy assets, and it will take many years to recover the cost by relying on operation.

And the film investment is simply neat, and it will be released after it is completed. After the release, whether it was a loss or a profit, the result was quickly clear. Although the profit and loss of film investment is not very stable, the cycle is fast!

If a company makes an average profit of 25% per movie, it only needs to invest in 10 films, and the capital will increase tenfold!

Cinemas are more like a stable business, which is as exciting as movie investment! 30 million yuan to invest in a movie theater, according to the current box office income, decent operation, it will take more than ten years to return to the capital, Huayi naturally does not do it!

To put it simply, investing in a movie is not only about making money, it's more like a lottery. Before the draw, there will be expectations. When the final result goes out, it is very exciting to people's hearts!

"By the way, Brother Jun, Huayi has recently had some cooperation with Emperor Company?" Wang Qinian asked.

"How?" Wang Zhongjun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Emperor Film Company, similar to Xiangjia's Chinese star, is a bit involved in the black, and its reputation is also very controversial. In various later door incidents, the artists under the Emperor became the protagonists of a certain door incident.

Of course, Emperor Hong Kong film recession, against the market development, in the late 90s and recently, many new stars, most of them signed brokerage contracts with Emperor, after all, there are very few companies willing to sign a good deal, Emperor is the only chance for many people to come out. Therefore, even though the reputation of the emperor is often stained, many people who want to become famous are still moths to the fire.

It seems that Emperor is the most successful agency in the Chinese film industry, not only for newcomers, but also for Jackie Chan who is currently cooperating with Emperor. After jumping out of Golden Harvest, Emperor is obviously Jackie Chan's pick-up man. Just relying on Jackie Chan's joining, the current Emperor has become a heavyweight company that is not inferior to Media Asia and Golden Harvest.

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that I want the game rights to a movie! Wang Qinian said.

"Game Copyright?" Wang Zhongjun suddenly felt very hot, and he had also heard about the profits of the game, but Huayi was not very familiar with this aspect, so he could only have hot eyes and no investment.

"The Emperor is planning to make a "The Great Sage of Love", right?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Yes! Liu Zhenwei is the director! Wang Zhongjun said with a smile, "In the past, Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" series was also directed by Liu Zhenwei! ”

"This movie Huayi is co-produced with the Emperor, right?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Yes!" Wang Zhongjun said.

"You helped matchmaking, 5 million yuan, I bought the game copyright of "The Great Sage of Love"!" Wang Qinian said.

"5 million to buy game copyright?!" Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but be surprised, this was a big investment. At present, the film and television adaptations of novels of first-line writers in China are generally sold for about hundreds of thousands of yuan to one million yuan. And the copyright of the game can be so much more expensive than the copyright of film and television?!

"Every once in a while, the little partner company will launch a game related to Journey to the West!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "You have to make a gimmick!" NetEase has "Journey to the West OL" to promote the movie of the same name, and the results are good. Our company also has the game of the same name of "The Great Sage", and at the moment, it's okay! ”

Wang Qinian said this, Wang Zhongjun knew that he had to sell him a favor. In fact, Wang Qinian also gave the opportunity, owed Wang Zhongjun a favor, and also brought the relationship between the two sides closer.

Although both partner companies and Huayi have film and television businesses, they don't actually have to fight to the death, and win-win cooperation is also a better model.

As a commercial film, "The Great Sage of Love" is not top-notch, and its quality and influence are far inferior to "Journey to the West". However, it can be roughly at the same level as Wang Qinian's "Great Sage Chapter".

And the derivative adaptation of "Journey to the West" is not only in the film and television industry, it is evergreen. In the game industry, the adapted games with the theme of Journey to the West are also relatively well accepted by the audience. Therefore, games with the theme of Journey to the West are easy to produce popular works. (To be continued.) )
