Chapter 363: Initial D
Although Yida Group is essentially a family business, the main power in the past has always been in the hands of Lu Yuesheng and his wife, and his daughter Lu Xueyan also has 5% of the group's shares!
However, in the final analysis, Yida Group is still a listed company, which is also the problem that Lu Yuesheng is worried about, because in the past, judging from Lu Xueyan's consistent expression, if she becomes the chairman of the group, I am afraid that several shareholders will quickly withdraw their capital, and the group's shares will plummet.
Therefore, after Wu Zhengying became the Lu family's Chenglong fast son-in-law, Lu Yuesheng began to put the hope of cultivating the chairman of the group on Wu Zhengying, and before he died, he also made a certain distribution of the group shares in his hands!
Now after Lu Yuesheng's death, Lu Xueyan currently has 8% of the shares, Wu Zhengying is 10%, and Tao Wenhua has 31% of the shares, Tao Wenhua is the person with the highest shares in the entire board of directors, and he is also the nominal chairman of the group!
Of course, this power will gradually be transferred to Wu Zhengying's hands, but now is not a good time!
In addition, a new member has been added to the board of directors of Yida Group, this person is Xiao Ran, he had a private agreement with Mr. Lu before his death, will help Yida Group develop normally, and let Wu Zhengying gradually become the chairman of the group, for which Xiao Ran also spent more than one billion yuan to acquire 5% of the shares of Yida Group and become a member of the board of directors!
Of course, Xiao Ran will not meddle in the affairs of the group, but will only use his influence to stabilize the situation and play a role in the development of the entire group!
This is a favor that Xiao Ran returned to Lu Yuesheng, in fact, after Mr. Lu's death, Xiao Ran was not so optimistic about the prospects of Yida Group. Although Wu Zhengying is a more reliable heir than Lu Xueyan, after all, Wu Zhengying's ability is also limited. It is already rare to be able to ensure the stability of the entire Yida Group, not to mention how much development there is.
But whether it's Mr. Lu. is still Wu Zhengying, they are all Xiao Ran's own people, and Xiao Ran's money is invested in Yida Group, although there is not much growth value, but it is not a problem to maintain value!
……
Although the news of Mr. Lu's death was shocking, for Xiao Ran, it was not so sad, it was nothing more than a little regret, and life still had to be the same.
A few days later. The big movie "Run, Brother" was released nationwide as scheduled, in addition to the joint release of the three major theaters and the best prime time, basically the theaters of the major theater companies across the country have regarded this movie as a magic weapon to attract audiences to enter the cinema, in addition, the five theaters of Xiao Ran's Oriental Cinema Company also released this movie at the same time!
That's right. Now there have been five openings in Xiao Ran Square, and these five Xiao Ran Squares have become the most lively places in the whole of China. For this reason, Xiao Ran also set his sights beyond Yanjing and prepared to build Xiao Ran Square in other cities!
As for the changes made by Xiao Ran himself, the new running man movie has been released since the premiere. It has been highly praised and has aroused a certain amount of topicality!
Some people say that the tone of Xiao Ran's film is too dark. completely magnifies the ugliness of human nature to the extreme, but some viewers think that human nature is like this. It's just that under the constraints of certain moral and social rules, people will become restrained......
No matter what the angle is, it is nothing more than a matter of opinion, because the debate about the inherent good and evil of human nature has been going on for thousands of years, and no one can give an accurate answer.
However, it is precisely because it has caused such a strong topic, and it has also attracted the part of the audience who originally didn't watch the running man to the plot of the movie, because although this movie has the setting of tearing off the name brand in the variety show, the protagonists are still served by the guests and hosts in the show, but on the whole, the innovation of this movie is still very high.
This is also the reason why the audience is interested, since the big movie of Running Man began to be released nationwide, the box office results on the first day were very gratifying, accumulating as much as 170 million, which is a movie where all the leading actors are newcomers in the film industry, and it can be regarded as a rebellion!
And after the box office hit on the first day, the next boom continued, and the cumulative box office in a week has been as much as 830 million.
This is already a great encouragement and harvest for Xiao Ran, and among the same seven newcomers in the film industry, except for Su Min, Xie Wenxuan and Zhang Yaoyang, who are still well-known in the film industry, the other four are basically newcomers in the film industry, but being able to star in a movie with such a bad box office performance will also make their future development in the film industry more smooth!
Two weeks after the release of the big movie "Run, Brother", the box office has accumulated as much as 1.3 billion, and at this time, written by Xiao Ran, directed by Liu Kui, Yuan Biao as the action director, starring Wang Yundi and Ye Xiaotian, and the "Initial D" invested by Huanyi Film Company, a subsidiary of the Wang family, also started its premiere!
Xiao Ran, as a screenwriter and a staunch teammate of the Wang family's camp, naturally had to be present to support, and in this movie, Wu Zhengying, the fifth senior brother who has been out of film for more than a year, also played a cameo role in a supporting role, that is, playing Tuohai's father Wentai, the former car god, and later retired because his wife left him, and finally used an AE86 to cultivate a new generation of car god Tuohai......
So as a part of the movie and as a representative of Yida Group, Wu Zhengying also attended the premiere of "Initial D", which also made countless fans crazy!
Wu Zhengying played a supporting role in the "Initial D" of Xiao Ran's in-depth cooperation with Huanyi Film Company, and more importantly, Xiao Ran was pulling Wu Zhengying into the camp of the Wang family, with the current power of the Wang family in the entertainment industry and officialdom, as long as Wu Zhengying is on good terms with Wang Yongbin and others, then those in the Yida Group who want to try to split and seek benefits will also weigh their own weight!
"Initial D" finally set off a wave of racing movies, although there have been a lot of racing movies in China in the past, but the box office results have been relatively average, but the appearance of "Initial D" has changed such a phenomenon!
The box office on the first day was 97 million, almost breaking 100 million, when the entire film industry was dumbfounded, the box office of the movie soared day by day, everyone who watched it said that this is a very emotional racing movie, although the protagonist has a cold zombie face, but with his character is so good that it is to the extreme!
This is also the role that is most in line with Wang Yundi's personal personality in his career, so he is particularly handy to play, plus the handsome Ryosuke with Xiao Ran's cameo, Wu Zhengying's cameo appearance as the former decadent car god Wentai, and Ye Xiaotian's heartless Amu who used his former comic nature to play make the audience like it very much!
In addition to the likable characters, the movie has an element of drifting, which is also different from other racing movies in the whole movie, not as boring as the movie that is only faster and has no skills, but with a bit of tension and excitement throughout the whole process!
So a week has passed, and the box office of the movie has accumulated a full 570 million, if this state can be maintained in the future, then it is not impossible for the total box office to exceed 1.5 billion!
And this is because "Initial D" gave up the prime time to "Run, Brother", if it weren't for that, this movie might also hit the 2 billion mark!
The box office of Chinese films has achieved such a blowout growth, which also makes the practitioners of the entire film industry full of confidence in this industry!
Since Xiao Ran stepped into the film industry three years ago, the pattern of the entire Chinese film industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, in the past, movies and Hollywood movies in the country of sticks were popular, and at the same time when domestic films are difficult to exceed 100 million yuan, there are indeed at least three or five films in the country that can exceed 100 million every year, which is still the box office of the mainland of China!
As for Hollywood movies, as long as they are masterpieces, they are basically guaranteed to exceed 100 million, and even a few years ago, there was a superhero special effects movie called "King Kong Man of the Rescue" that got a good result of 900 million at the box office!
This was already an incredible number at the time, who knew that after Xiao Ran entered the film industry, he continued to break records, starting from the first film breaking 100 million, until it broke 1 billion, and finally 2 billion, and some people even predicted that if "The True Color of Heroes" is placed on a good schedule and the screening time is extended, it is very likely to become the only film in the entire Chinese film circle to break through 3 billion!
This is a miracle that belongs to Xiao Ran's creation, and under such a miracle, in addition to the audience who loves Xiao Ran's movies entering the cinema to contribute to the box office, there are also some people who didn't know Xiao Ran before, but felt that Xiao Ran was able to break so many box office records in a row It was very powerful, so I deliberately entered the cinema to see how good Xiao Ran's movie was......
So this is also the reason why the Wang family chose to cooperate with Xiao Ran when the Yanjing officialdom is so deep-rooted, because Xiao Ran is not only a successful filmmaker, but also a national idol that the whole country is very eager to pursue, so Xiao Ran's influence is no less than that of any politician, and even exaggeratedly, if Xiao Ran praises a movie that is being released in public, then the box office of this movie may usher in a very large increase!
Xiao Ran's cooperation with the Wang family can be regarded as taking what he needs, Xiao Ran relied on the Wang family to help him solve some official problems, such as taking land to build buildings, film review and distribution, and the Wang family used Xiao Ran's influence to make money together and gain a good reputation!
