Chapter 294: Ali Can't Be Provoked!
Wang Zhongjun's incomprehension also haunted Wang Changtian and Li Ziming.
The three of them belong to traditional filmmakers, and they are very good at producing and distributing films, and they are also very experienced.
But for Tengxun, Ali, and Baidu's pan-entertainment road, they are blind.
The three companies rolled their eyes at the dazzling operation, and they were confused.
The three of them were curious and looked at Fang Ziheng expectantly, hoping that he would be able to solve their doubts.
"Film and television IP is just one of them."
"With the increase in domestic people's demand for cultural products in recent years, in addition to the vigorous development of movies, TV dramas, and variety shows, many animation, online texts, and games have also ushered in new developments!"
As a company that started with social platforms and games, Tengxun will naturally not let go of these fields.
There are four main categories of business in the entertainment sector of Tengxun, namely Tengxun Games, Tengxun Animation, Tengxun Literature and Tengxun Pictures.
I don't need to say more about games, the literature section, animation, film and television section are the focus of the future development of Tengxun! ”
"Literature is the source of creation, and by winning these stations, Tengxun will have endless resources, whether it is developing games, film and television dramas, or animation, he is familiar with it.
With Tengxun's leading position on social platforms, even if it is watered with huge traffic, it can create a series of popular IPs! ”
Fang Ziheng said lightly, explaining Tengxun's layout in the entertainment range.
At the beginning of this year, Tengxun Animation was established, and then carried out large-scale copyright cooperation with Shueisha and won the online copyright of 11 classic comics.
The exclusive introduction of manga works includes many works such as "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Saint Seiya", which laid the foundation for the development of Tengxun's animation industry.
Tengxun won many stations this time, not only to open up the film and television IP link, but also to open up all channels of the entire pan-entertainment.
With a series of popular IPs, we develop various peripheral industries such as games, film and television, animation, and publishing.
Hearing Fang Ziheng's popular science, the three of them suddenly realized.
Wang Changtian pushed his glasses, revealing a look that was the same: "If you look at it this way, the route taken by Tengxun, Ali, and Baidu is very similar to Fang Dong's Hengyu Media!" ”
"The business that the three have, Hengyu Media Group has, and the business that the three do not have, Hengyu Media Group also has."
"Movies, TV series, variety shows, games, video websites, special effects companies, theaters, artist agents, all industries related to entertainment, Hengyu Media owns them all."
Wang Changtian said as he counted with his fingers.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
When they were still lamenting the arrogance of the three major hooligans on the Internet, Fang Ziheng unknowingly invested in so many businesses, completely opening up Tengxun and Ali to create a pan-entertainment industry circle.
As soon as they heard this, Wang Zhongjun and Li Ziming blinked their eyes twice, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
it.
The true God is with them!
IP incubation, film and television production, publicity and distribution, video playback, game special effects, and Hengyu are really not lacking.
What's even more terrifying is that Hengyu has achieved these projects to the top of the industry, and the achievements he has achieved are beyond the reach of traditional film and television companies.
Wang Zhongjun touched his chin, looked at Fang Ziheng with a new look, and said in a tentative tone: "Fang Dong, is Hengyu Media taking too many routes.
It's not that my brother is too talkative, there are so many fields, how can a company have that more energy to take care of. ”
In his heart, he has already made a small calculation.
He was wondering if the Huayi brothers should also make a move and invest in one or two stations to play.
Forget about video sites, that thing is too expensive!
Fang Ziheng didn't know Wang Zhongjun's calculations, shook his head with a smile and said: "Hengyu is mainly engaged in the three major sectors of movies, TV series, and variety shows, and the other businesses are all petty fights, selling peripherals to earn some pocket money." ”
Pocket money!
It's up to you!
It's true that we don't know the situation of Tudou Video, Starting Point Chinese Network, and Hengyu Game.
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian rolled their eyes violently, eager to kick him.
They have seen it before, Fang Ziheng's pretend, they have seen it for the first time.
The topic said this, and naturally it couldn't go on.
Li Ziming pointed to the lounge and invited a few people to sit over for a while, he was the oldest, and he couldn't stand it standing and chatting.
Immediately, the four of them went to the lounge, lit a cigarette and continued to talk.
Li Ziming remembered that a few days ago, Liu Debing, the person in charge of Baoli Wanhe Cinema Line, reported to him about his recent business, one of which was related to Hengyu Media.
"Dong Fang, I suddenly remembered that you also recently established a company."
"The Big Dipper Issuing Company that Li Dong said, right?" Fang Ziheng smiled and took the initiative to open his mouth to take the topic.
"Yes, it's the Big Dipper!"
Li Ziming took a puff of cigarette, gave a thumbs up and admired: "Fang Dong is so courageous, he established a distribution company with the four major cinema chains, and mastered 25% of the country's cinema chains in one fell swoop." ”
The reason why he said this was because Liu Debing reported to him that Hengyu occupied the position of a major shareholder in the Big Dipper Distribution Company, and took out the distribution rights of two movies and handed them over to this company.
Because the four theaters did not participate in the production of the film, the newly established Big Dipper Distribution Company had to rely on Hengyu Media to deliver film projects in the early stage.
In this way, Hengyu monopolized the power and easily owned a national peer distribution company.
If the Big Dipper develops in the future, it will be enough to release more than ten movies a year, and the four theaters can make money with it.
If it doesn't develop, it's over.
The new company has become a subsidiary of Hengyu Media, and the four cinemas have also become a part-time job for Fang Ziheng!
At that time, Hengyu will send a few movies every year, so as to sign a low-price distribution ratio, and only pay a small part of the benefits, you can call on the four major theaters to increase the number of films.
Li Ziming also reacted to the situation after listening to Liu Debing's detailed report.
He can't point out the problem directly, so he can only ask Liu Debing to have a good relationship with Fang Ziheng, make every effort to develop the Big Dipper, and make this distribution company famous, so as to attract many producers in the circle to release film projects every year.
Old fox!
The old paper has divided the distribution interests of the two movies, and he is not satisfied.
As soon as he saw Li Ziming's expression, Fang Ziheng guessed that the other party meant something.
"Chairman Li is assured that the Big Dipper is committed to promoting more excellent film projects, not a distribution company of one person."
"In the future, in addition to Hengyu Media's films, Big Dipper will also contact other film producers in the circle to help them promote their films to theaters across the country."
"Haha, that's good, I'm waiting for the day when the Big Dipper's reputation will be great."
Li Ziming snorted and skipped this topic tacitly.
Fang Ziheng and Hengyu Media are not what they used to be, even if he is the deputy director of Baoli Group in charge of the film and television industry, he can only greet each other with a smile, and he can't easily pinch each other.
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian watched the play silently, thinking that Fang Ziheng had finally done something stupid.
unexpectedly gave up the distribution profits of the two films, and generously distributed tens of millions of banknotes.
The total box office of "Predecessor Raiders" is at least 380 million, and according to the 10% distribution, there is at least a distribution profit of 30 million.
Another "National Security 1", this movie has three linkage TV series as a boost, and the total box office is only higher than that of "Predecessor Raiders", and the distribution profit is at least 40 million.
Fang Ziheng opened his mouth and directly sent out 70 million profits.
It's atmospheric enough, and it's stupid enough!
The corners of the two mouths rose, and their mood was visibly relaxed.
Fang Ziheng's eyes were slight, and he didn't care about the reaction of the two of them at all, and he was stupid to see the future.
Seventy million only, he came out.
As long as the four major cinemas and the Hengyu Alliance can be stabilized, 70 million will be sent every year.
No matter how awesome you Wang Zhongjun is, you don't have to bow to the theater chain later, and take the initiative to increase the account sharing ratio of the theater chain, so that the theater chain can increase the number of movies released by Huayi.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
At the beginning of the premiere, Lin Chaoxian brought Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, Gu Tianle, and Guo Tao to the forefront.
As the host raised the atmosphere, Fang Ziheng and Li Ziming also came to the stage to say a few words.
"Drug War" and "National Security 1" are all invested by Baoli Group, and Li Ziming is one of the producers of the two films.
Both films involve shootouts and also require police assistance.
Baoli's brand is hard, with Baoli's help, the film has hardly encountered any problems from the establishment of the project to the start of filming and release.
"Director Lin is a senior director I admire very much, and he has a unique insight and arrangement in presenting film shootouts.
I watched "Drug War" in advance, and I can tell you very responsibly that this is a thrilling police and bandit shootout movie that can stand up to scrutiny! ”
Fang Ziheng blew the water, praised Lin Chaoxian and "Drug War", and finally returned to his seat.
At half past seven, the film was shown on time.
The opening of the movie is different from the original version, and the scene of the human body moving DU is not released for the first time, but the perspective is given to Louis Koo.
At the beginning of the new version of "Drug War", Louis Koo's DU factory had a problem and a big explosion occurred, and he escaped with his life and drove a vehicle to escape.
The police received a report and rushed to the scene of the explosion.
In the second act, there is a bus on the highway, a criminal gang that transports people in a car.
The anti-drug captain played by Zhang Yi received a text message, and the team told him that there was an explosion in a factory, which was suspected to be a DU factory.
Just when Zhang Yi frowned and thought, the bus came to the toll booth, and the crime boss jumped out of the car and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.
The police have already laid a wide net to arrest all the criminals.
In the hospital, Zhang Yi inadvertently saw Gu Tianle who crashed the car, and his professional instinct made him see the rotten scars on the other party's face.
It's a DU dealer!
Since then, the two lines have converged, not only explaining the antecedents, but also laying the follow-up plot.
After Fang Ziheng's refinement, the suspenseful atmosphere of "Drug War" has been raised by a notch, and the gunfight scene has also been grandened by several levels.
The production budget of the original version is less than 20 million, and the investment of 50 million in this version can completely arrange a large-scale shootout.
The ending of the movie has also been changed accordingly.
Without the original dog blood, the police paid a certain sacrifice and dispatched special police to kill all DUs with a thunderous force.
The plot of the original version is too disdainful, and it is the same as a Hong Kong Island police movie.
In the mainland, there is no room for DU traffickers to run rampant, and no matter how arrogant and powerful the criminal gang is, once it is bitten by the police, it will have to fight on the streets.
………
Two hours later, the film was shown.
In the screening room, the audience breathed a sigh of relief, immersed in the exciting shootout of the movie.
"It's so burning, the final long street shootout is just a stroke of genius!"
"It's amazing my brother, I can't imagine that the mainland can also shoot a fierce shootout that is not inferior to the Hong Kong Island film!"
"Did you find it, "Drug War" is more reasonable than Hong Kong Island films, after a round of bullets, both the police and DU dealers have to change the bullets!"
"It should be filmed according to real logic, the Hong Kong Island police movie is unreasonable, the pistol shoots dozens of bullets, and I am afraid of ghosts!"
With endless applause, the audience also talked about it, and they were very satisfied with tonight's visual feast.
on the first row of seats.
Lin Chaoxian got up slowly and secretly clenched his fists.
The audience's reaction gave him hope.
With "Drug War", he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the mainland film industry, or even go further.
This hope was brought to him by the young man next to him.
Lin Chaoxian turned around, looked at Fang Ziheng, and thanked him solemnly: "Dong Fang, thank you for giving me the opportunity." ”
"Director Lin is polite, I am a win-win cooperation."
Fang Ziheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The movie is very good, the investment of 50 million has reached the level of hundreds of millions of productions, I believe that it will not be long before I will have a celebration banquet for Director Lin." ”
Lin Chaoxian smiled, he also hoped that as Fang Ziheng said, he would hold a box office celebration banquet for the movie directed by him.
"Fang Dong, how much box office do you think the movie can have?"
At this time, Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, and Gu Tianle came to him, Wang Ou's eyes were like silk, staring at Fang Ziheng and asked crisply.
"Five hundred million!"
Fang Ziheng flipped his palm, smiled and said: "My minimum box office bottom line for "Drug War" is 500 million, if it can't reach 500 million, it means that the box office appeal of your starring role is not enough!" ”
Hiss..
Several people held their breath and looked at each other.
Billion!
It's not too high, but it's not low either.
Looking around today, any movie that can break 500 million is famous.
Can "Drug War" really break 500 million?
Not only Zhang Yi, Wang Ou, and Louis Koo, but also director Lin Chaoxian is also active, and he is looking forward to the movie more and more.
As for saying that they can't break the pot starring 500 million, they don't take it, and it is automatically filtered as a joke.
After the premiere.
Hengyu Media arranged a dinner at a nearby hotel as usual to thank the guests who came to cheer.
Fang Ziheng drank a few glasses, chatted with Lin Chao for a long time, and took the initiative to invite him to join Hengyu Media.
Lin Chaoxian was very moved, and stopped the idea of joining Hengyu again, saying that he would watch it when the total box office of the movie came out.
However, he patted his chest and said that he was not waiting for the price to sell, but hoped to join Hengyu in a decent way.
He is from Hong Kong Island, and he hopes to announce his arrival to the mainland through a film first.
This kind of psychology, Fang Ziheng Dong!
Just like Xu Ke who filmed "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", Lin Chaoxian, like his mentor, also has a proud backbone.
I always feel that when I come to the mainland for the first time, if I don't prove my worth, I will be weaker than the mainlanders.
"Okay, I'll wait for Director Lin's reply on the day of the celebration banquet."
Fang Ziheng smiled understandingly, had a drink with Lin Chao, and then ended the dinner trip.
Lin Chaoxian is a master director of gunfight films, and he is an indispensable one in the director territory of Hengyu Media.
Fang Ziheng is very optimistic about Lin Chaoxian, hoping that the other party can shoot gunfight-type movies instead of him.
It's okay to wait and give the other person a step and a buffer period.
Ali Pictures Headquarters!
Executive meetings.
Zhang Wall's face was solemn, holding a copy of the zero box office and first-day box office data of "Drug War".
On his left and right, there were three people, Zhang Wei, Gu Yong, and Deng Kangming.
In front of the three people, one person has a high-end laptop, and is browsing the media and audience reports and comments on "Drug War".
The reports on the Internet are almost praised.
If nothing else, "Drug War" will be another small hit movie with a small and big one.
Zhang Wei's thoughts are understood by everyone, and they want to block Hengyu's newly released movie.
However, Zhang Wall had a different idea, he put down the A4 paper data sheet, pointed to the point, and said in a condensed voice: "The box office at zero is 4.6 million, and the box office on the first day is 45 million!" ”
"Three, I think it's necessary to remind you that one of the producers of "Drug War" is Baoli Group.
This company, we Alibaba Pictures can't afford to provoke! ”
