Chapter 556 Miss Sister's Daily Life
The schedule is very deserted, but the industry is very lively. Since March, Huayi has announced in a high-profile manner that it will enter the international market and carry out "international strategic layout". It announced yesterday that it is negotiating with Hollywood Studio3 and plans to cooperate with other investors They will form an investment entity together, and plan to invest US$8 million to US$1.2 million in the production company founded by former Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov.

This is Wang Zhonglei's most high-profile publicity since he proposed last year that Huayi should "de-simplify films".

After all, Huayi still proposed "de-filmization". Wang Zhongjun's explanation for this is: "De-filmization means not not making movies, but not just making movies. In the future, Huayi Brothers will carry out the layout of the whole industry, live entertainment, theme Parks, etc., are our development goals.”

"De-filming is the company's core business, because Huayi started out with movies. However, I think it's definitely not enough to only make movies. I understand movie products, and movie products are really not like you can fully control them. Just say you make movies. When it’s over, it will sell well! For example, if you want to make five films this year, you can make five. First, the director’s preparation, it is a creation of a complete art department. If the script is not good, you dare not start the machine. If you dare to start, there will be no such movie next year. For example, Tsui Hark wants to make this year, but everyone is not satisfied with the script. How can you make it next year?

"Let's say Feng Xiaogang, you are so looking forward to him having a movie this year, but Xiaogang is also very anxious, but he just doesn't have a mature story, or mature things, he just wants to be empty!"

Wang Zhongjun continued: "This is the reason why we want to make movies. We must find a way to find our big culture and entertainment outside of movies. I think it is not Huayi Brothers if Huayi does not make movies, but Huayi Brothers only makes movies. , let alone Huayi Brothers!
"During the 16 years since Huayi was established, how many times have we been box office champions? We have a director who is undefeated in more than a dozen films, which is almost unbeatable in the world, and Huayi Brothers' best performance is the 14th in the country. % share, this share exceeds Disney's share in the United States!"

The Wang Brothers obviously set Huayi up against Disney.

There is no film production company in the world that does not want to be Disney, but there is only one Disney in the world.

At least in China, the Disney model cannot be done.

Culture serves politics, and the Disney model cannot survive in the domestic political environment.

In a sense, it makes sense for Huayi to "de-filmize".

Now the domestic market is divided too seriously, Hollywood's share is close to half, several major domestic film studios are fighting each other, and only a few can go to theaters every year. If it is evenly divided, how much can each company get?

Can there be big hits like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Lost in Thailand" every year?

The domestic market is indeed growing every year, but the Wang brothers don't think the market will be big enough to feed Huayi.

How much does the annual box office champion get? 10?Or 20 billion?How much is left in the hands of the producers?

They don't think that the domestic market is as big as 3000 billion, as the group of Internet companies boasted.

Therefore, it is still necessary to lead Huayi to transform early. Of course, movies must be made, but some investment must be made. Movie towns must also be made, and live entertainment playgrounds must also keep up. Theaters are heavy assets and can maintain Huayi’s current status. Some scales do not move.

There is also an online ticketing website. Online ticketing can directly expand its distribution.

So in the past six months, Huayi has made many moves, issuing bonds, financing, cashing out, and then waving money around to invest.

Hua Yi, known as Little Wanda.

Many people in the industry are actually very optimistic about this set of operations of Huayi.

It is said to be "de-movieized", but looking at Huayi's investment in the past six months, investing in Hollywood studios and movies, and controlling the online ticketing website Mizuo.com...

In fact, it still revolves around the big entertainment sector of film and television. The industry interprets it as Huayi's remote learning in an attempt to "open up the entire industry chain."

Huayi has been the leader in the Chinese film and television industry for more than ten years. Although it has been pulled down remotely in the past three to five years, the foundation is still there. The industry is very optimistic about the layout of Huayi's entire industrial chain.

But Cheng Yuan knew that this was not the case. He said during the meeting: "Of course Huayi chose to start with the entertainment sector that I am most familiar with. On the one hand, it can stabilize shareholders and the secondary market, and on the other hand, it also leaves a way out for myself. The two brothers are I want to turn Huayi into an investment company and operate capitalized."

"I want to go out to sea with capital and make a lot of fun."

Cheng Yu'an shut up when he said this, everyone here is smart and understands the meaning behind this sentence.

Going overseas with the money earned in China, those who know it say you are going to make money, but those who don’t know think you are going to transfer assets!

The money has been transferred overseas, and you come back and say that the investment failed, and the shareholders will go to whom to ask for money!

However, in the past two years, domestic film and television companies have been encouraged to go overseas, saying that they want to "tell Chinese stories to the world."

Encourage content and capital to go overseas, and encourage strong alliances between domestic companies and production companies.

Of course, Yuanyuan also makes investments other than film and television, but film and television has always been the core of all Yuanyuan's businesses, and all investments made by Yuanyuan are to feed its own film and television sector.

This is called not forgetting the original intention.

After the company meeting, Cheng Yu'an went home to rest first, and returned to Hengdian tomorrow.

Liu Yifei was not at home.

The point is that Cheng Yu'an still doesn't know where his wife has gone.

"Hey, where are you? There's no one at home."

"You're back? I'm in Miyun."

"What are you doing there?"

"Do a show. The first episode of the first season of "Longing for Life"."

Cheng Yu'an forgot about this show, a variety show jointly created by Tudou and Mango Channel.

Focus on slow-paced pastoral life.

"Didn't you not participate in variety shows? Why did you go to Miyun to play?" Some aspects of Liu Yifei have not been changed by Cheng Yu'an. show up.

"I thought this show was very interesting, so I asked Shi Shi to come with me." Liu Yifei's two younger sisters, Reba and Nazha, are filming "Looking for the Dragon" and the other is filming "Flowers and Boys" in Italy Well, it happened that Shi Shi came back a few days ago, and she was taken to the suburbs again by her.

What Cheng Yu'an didn't know was that the whole call between him and Liu Yifei was recorded by the program crew.

In addition to He Jiong and Huang Sanshi, the host of Tudou's self-made "Longing for Life" also added a female host Cao Ying.

After Liu Yifei hung up the phone, Cao Ying smiled and said, "Is he always like this? Calling you when he can't see you? It's normal for us to be away for a long time."

Liu Yifei smiled: "He knows that I don't have a new job recently, and I haven't told him where I'm going when I'm not at home. He usually calls and asks, as long as he knows where I am."

The five chatted a lot in the Mushroom House. The first episode of the first season was very pure, without any promotional nature. The five chatted while working in the Mushroom House.

"Your program is very good, relaxed and at ease." Liu Yifei boasted when the five of them were having dinner.

As the group chatted, they naturally talked about Cheng Yu'an who was not there.

Huang Sanshi was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he asked Liu Yifei, "Who usually manages the money in your family?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "We don't care about it. We have an investment management company. Except for the necessary living expenses of the family, all the money is in the hands of the investment and financial consultant."

The name of this company is Yi'an Investment Management Co., Ltd., which belongs to the private property of the two.

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei thought of something funny: "The night we returned to the capital after receiving the certificate, he pushed all his bank cards, credit cards, passbooks, stocks, funds, and some fixed assets in front of me in a mess. , Said that I should manage the money, I was scared to death."

"I said I didn't have that brain. My mother used to manage my own money, and I couldn't manage it. I still want to give him my money and let him manage it for me."

Liu Shishi interjected, "Do you know how much money he has?"

Liu Yifei shook her head: "I don't know."

"Last year, Forbes said that his net worth exceeded 400 billion." Jiong He added.

"I don't know how much money he has, and he doesn't know himself either. In the first few years, he can count it, but in the past two years, he can't be bothered to count it. It's as much as the outside world says." The young lady went on to say that the family manages money, "he I have a concept of financial management, but I don’t have time to do this, so I simply set up a financial management company, and all our personal money is in it.”
