Chapter 273: Domestic Movies Will Never Be Defeated by Hollywood Blockbusters

February 12, the twenty-first day of the first month.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" was released for 28 days, and the total box office reached 530 million soft girl coins, completing the sweep of the Spring Festival stalls.

Since the first two days, the follow-up of the movie has been weak, and the single-day box office has fallen below 1 million, and there is no hope of breaking 600 million, and the final total box office is about 5.4 to 550 million.

This week, the mainland market belongs to the world of "Mission Impossible 4", with a single-week box office of 132 million, winning the weekly champion.

According to the data released by China Film, "Mission Impossible 4" was released for 16 days, with a total box office of 460 million, 20 million less than the previous life.

In addition to "Mission Impossible 4", there are five other movies on the list from February 6 to February 12.

The second place "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" was released for 3 days, with a total box office of 95.8 million soft girl coins.

The third place "I Do" was released for three days, with a total of 19.9 million soft girl coins.

The fourth place "High Altitude Love 2", which was released for 4 days, had a total box office of 11.6 million soft girl coins.

The fifth place "Death Gold" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 10.5 million and a total box office of 24.8 million soft girl coins.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" ranked sixth, with a weekly box office of 9.5 million and a total box office of 536 million soft girl coins after 28 days of release.

In the office of Chairman Hengyu.

Fang Ziheng shook his head helplessly after browsing the movie data table.

After the increase in imported films, the domestic protection month is shaky, and at least one or two Hollywood films will be released on the mainland every month.

Without policy protection, most domestic films seem to be missing a layer of gold, and they can only be beaten when encountering Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

This kind of thing, you can't hide it, only by standing up and resisting, and using the hard steel of high-quality movies can we stabilize the annual box office share of domestic films and enhance the audience's confidence in domestic films little by little.

Closing the computer, Fang Ziheng opened the drawer, took out a hot gold invitation and put it on the table.

Sina Weibo held the first Weibo Night.

Sina CEO Cao Guowei came to Hengyu and handed him the invitation letter, asking him and his artists to appear.

Weibo Night, the previous event was called the Sina Festival, which had no gold content, and it all relied on star artists to support the scene.

There are a lot of various awards, and if you go, you can give them, and everyone has a share.

Fang Ziheng vaguely remembered that there would be more than a dozen similar pheasant ceremonies in the next year.

Media websites, TV stations, video websites, and all platforms that are related to the entertainment industry have held this kind of event.

Let's just say that Concubine Lin and Andy, the two beauties also want to hold a potato festival, and they also made a special plan to be included in Hengyu's major events in 2012.

Just wait for the potato video to re-launch in April, and the grand ceremony plan will be implemented.

The beautiful name is to give potatoes a strong momentum, but in fact, Concubine Lin and her sisters want to further promote the fame of Hengyu Media.

To put it bluntly, I just want to set up a huge mountain!

Hengyu is currently taking the route of making good connections, no one can be offended, and win-win cooperation with major film and television companies.

This route is okay in the short term, but not in the long term, and it lacks the power and domineering to dominate the world.

Fang Zihengle's leisure is at their disposal.

In the past few years, he has made friends outside and knows this and that, and the good man should get used to it, and it is time to show off his muscles.

Knock knock

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Fang Ziheng raised his head and looked, leaning behind him, with a big boss's momentum.

The office door was pushed open, and Fang Rou stepped in with Liu Minghui, the director of strategic investment.

"Chairman, Director Liu has something important to report to you."

"I see, make two cups of tea."

Fang Ziheng nodded, beckoned to Liu Minghui behind him, pointed to the hospitality sofa and said, "Minghui, Sogou browser has been won?" ”

"Chairman, take it!"

Liu Minghui looked excited, came to the sofa area, put a folder on the coffee table and said.

After a while, Fang Rou brewed two cups of hot tea.

Fang Ziheng came to the sofa area, sat down, put the folder on his legs and opened it, and said with a smile: "Just take it, tell me about the acquisition results." ”

"After four rounds of negotiations, the company finally acquired a 45% stake in Sogou from Sohu for 680 million soft sister coins."

"What other conditions did Zhang Dong put forward?"

"Just mention one, Sohu has a stake in Hengyu Games."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he moved his body and turned the last page of the contract, which clearly marked the agreement between Hengyu and Sohu.

Hengyu Media acquired 45% of Sogou's shares for 680 million soft sister coins, becoming the second largest shareholder of this browser platform, with the right to operate the browser at the secondary level.

Sohu Company invested 5% of the shares of Hengyu Game Company with 50 million soft sister coins to participate in the maintenance and profit sharing of the two major games of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends".

In addition, Sohu has the responsibility to assist Hengyu in operating its games, (including publicity, holding e-sports competitions) and so on.

The responsibilities of the two companies are clearly divided, and in general, Hengyu Media suffered a small loss in the early stage.

not only gave money, but also sold 5% of the shares of Hengyu Games.

Fang Ziheng looked down a few times, smiled with satisfaction, patted Liu Minghui's shoulder and praised: "Not bad, well done!" ”

He knew in his heart that it seemed that Hengyu suffered a loss in the early stage, but in the long run, Hengyu Media made a lot of money.

The size of a browser may not be a few dollars on its own.

However, if it is filled with a series of businesses such as video, games, and new media, it will instantly turn into a big killer with high user stickiness.

In 2014, He Xiaopengzi, the founder of UC, sold UC to Ali Group for 30 billion soft sister coins and made a lot of money.

30 billion!

At that time, UC, whether it was content or traffic, was only a drop above Sogou, and it was already so straightforward.

It is foreseeable that after Hengyu Media completes the link with Sogou and transmits its business, the value of Sogou Browser will be higher than that of UC Browser when 4G arrives two years later.

At this time, Sogou, with a total market value of about 1.5 billion soft sister coins, in addition to Hengyu initiating a comprehensive merger and acquisition, Sohu also repurchased 10% of the shares from Ali.

Of course.

The most important point is that Zhang Chaoyang is not short of money, he is a happy person.

After Sohu fell into the second echelon of the domestic Internet, Zhang Chaoyang entered the sage mode and started to lie down and win a life.

He wanted to play a game, Fang Ziheng did what he wanted, and it was right to take Sogou.

In later generations, Sogou has not been able to develop, which is not only due to Sohu's lack of progress, but also because Sohu's own traffic is not enough, and it cannot take Sogou forward.

In 2020, Sogou was boycotted by major mobile phone manufacturers and had to announce the suspension of service and offline.

It's a good head browser, and as time gets weaker and weaker, it was forced to stop the service and go offline, and Lao Zhang is no one.

"Game life, Lao Zhang's life creed!"

Fang Ziheng muttered softly, closed the folder, and leaned back on the sofa, looking comfortable, so that he was not at ease.

After drinking tea, he handed over a letter to Liu Minghui and asked him to pass it on to Wang Xiaochuan, the founder of Sogou.

Inside the letter, he racked his brains in the past two days, recalling the new functions sorted out by QQ and UC browsers in later generations.

Nine-level acceleration system.

Seven functional systems.

Nine pole acceleration, seven functions.

Fang Ziheng didn't understand the profession, but relied on his memory to copy some terms, hoping to help Sogou.

As for how Sogou gets these terms, it's none of his business, he just needs to stop it in time when Sogou starts 'push-to-talk download', and it doesn't happen that it is boycotted by mobile phone manufacturers.

Number 13.

Fang Ziheng led the team and brought Hengyu's artists to the second phase of the Imperial Capital International Trade Center to participate in the first Weibo night.

After nearly two years of development, Weibo has more than 100 million registered users, and the number of online users has reached 20 million every day, and its valuation has been rising.

The specifications of the event are not small, and they can support the major events in the entertainment industry since the beginning of 2012.

The awards of the event are also voted by netizens online, focusing on online and offline interaction and national entertainment.

February 15th.

Hengyu Media Group held a press conference.

At the meeting, Fang Ziheng announced Hengyu's top ten film projects and top ten TV series projects this year.

In addition to six film projects with major companies, four other separately produced films were launched at the same time.

The posters of the ten films were presented on the big screen at the press conference in turn.

"The Four Famous Catches 2" director Hao Yi, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Lao Mouzi.

"Chinese Partner" director Lao Mouzi, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng,

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 1" (movie version), director Wu Jing, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng.

"National Security 1" (film version), director Wen Muye, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, and producer Wu Jing.

"Blooming Heart" director Ning Hao, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Xu Zheng.

"Master of Hypnosis" director Xu Zheng, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Ning Hao.

"Former Raiders 1" director Su Lun, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Wen Muye.

"Left Ear" director Yu Feihong, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Fang Ziheng.

"Donkey Gets Water" director Guo Fan, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Su Lun.

"Drug War" director Lin Chao, screenwriter Fang Ziheng, producer Wu Jing.

Ten films, ten directors.

Hengyu has signed six directors, each of whom wears two hats, both as a director and as a director and as someone else to produce another film.

Fang Ziheng is very arrogant, he has supervised three movies by himself, and if you count "The Great Wall", it will be four.

But it's not as busy as last year, when he produced six films by himself.

Although each part only requires him to participate in the fine editing, it also consumes a lot of brain cells.

Hengyu Media Group's generosity also shocked the media reporters present.

Starting from a movie in 09, Hengyu's development has reached a new level every year, and the projects under his control have multiplied.

This is to catch all the major movie schedules!

Fang Ziheng answered a few questions from reporters, handed over the press conference to Mo Xiang, secretary of the board of directors, and brought ten directors to the conference hall of the hotel.

As soon as he came up, he set the tone for everyone.

"Everyone, from today onwards, the film you directed will be officially approved."

"Hengyu Media will fully support your filming, I have only one request, release on time!"

"Three films will be released in June, July and August, one in September, one in October and one in November.

"Two in December and two in January."

When the ten people heard this, they all fell silent, each pondering when the movie they directed should be released.

From a common sense point of view, movies with higher production budgets must choose better schedules, such as being released in the summer and Chinese New Year files.

For the rest of the movies, the genre is selected as the national autumn file, the Spring Festival file and the usual schedule.

Fang Ziheng didn't say it, it doesn't mean that they can't miss it, everyone hopes that their movies can be a big hit.

After a while.

Lao Mouzi asked: "Fang Dong, will it be too rushed for ten movies to be released within a year?" ”

"Yes, I always feel that we have a sense of déjà vu that our own people are beating ourselves."

Wen Muye muttered, and also thought that it was inappropriate to release it all this year.

Wu Jing, Su Lun, and Hao Yi also nodded, with a worried look on their faces.

Guo Fan wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

As the new director of the company, he has not yet proven his strength, and his status and right to speak cannot be compared with Wen Muye.

Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Yu Feihong, and Lin Chaoxian looked calm, they are Hengyu's co-directors, and they think more about when their movies will be released.

Hengyu's internal problems don't need them to worry about.

Only Yu Feihong's eyes flowed, casting a vaguely concerned gaze at Fang Ziheng, calm on the surface, but secretly worried in his heart.

Sister Yu was worried that Fang Ziheng would be young and vigorous, and he would embark on the road of great joy.

"You don't have to worry about the release time, I will coordinate with China Film and major film and television companies."

Fang Ziheng smiled and waved his hand, exercising the rights of the big boss.

Afterwards, he scattered a circle of cigarettes and explained to several henchmen.

"You don't know that there will be more capital squeezed into the film industry in the next two years, and savage capital will not talk about the quality and level of films, what they want is to make money, and what they want is the benefits brought by the influence of films."

"When a lot of capital comes in, the film market will expand rapidly, and the annual production will skyrocket.

In this way, there will inevitably be a pile of bad movies, the audience scolds the street, does not trust domestic movies, and finally runs to watch foreign movies. ”

"Director, are you going to be too worried?"

Hao Yi blinked and asked a pig-brained question.

In his opinion, it is a good thing that a large amount of capital enters the market, which can allow more filmmakers to create more excellent works.

Compared with previous years, there is no other capital in the film market, so let the coal boss be the boss and show off.

Lao Mouzi shook his head slowly, and said in a condensed voice: "No, what Fang Dong said is very likely, too much uncontrollable capital will indeed bring a disaster to the film market!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Lao Mouzi uses the word disaster, which shows that he is very afraid of uncontrollable capital.

Savage capital is far more complex and destructive than they imagined.

At this time, Yu Feihong's beautiful eyes lit up, pursed her lips and smiled: "Director Fang, listen to what you mean, I want to use the boutique project created by Hengyu to stabilize the atmosphere of the film market." ”

"Those who know me, Sister Yu is also!"

Fang Ziheng gave her a thumbs up, his eyes were condensed, and he said confidently and firmly: "Hengyu Media wants to use high-quality movies to set benchmarks and guidelines for the whole industry, and declare to all filmmakers in China that only making movies well is the right way."

We have to tell the capital pouring in from the outside world that it is not a big deal to have money, and the bad movies they invest in are the lives of the streets!

At the same time, we also want to let hundreds of millions of viewers know that domestic films will never be defeated by Hollywood blockbusters because of Hengyu Media, never! ”

Fang Ziheng's words were loud, and he rushed straight into everyone's hearts with a momentum of moving forward bravely and opening the way for Chinese films.

Wen Muye, Hao Yi, and Guo Fan listened to the numb scalp and their blood boiled, and they couldn't wait to take their movies to fight with Hollywood blockbusters now.
