The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 374 Chen Qianqian

"On April 4, DreamWorks Studios was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first mainland film and television company to go public on Hong Kong Island.

On the first day of listing, the share price of DreamWorks opened all the way higher, with an opening increase of more than 90%, and its market value once exceeded 550 billion Hong Kong dollars.

As of press time, DreamWorks Studios has risen by 78.57%, with a total market value of 486 billion yuan.

Although it has been diluted, Chen Jingxing still holds 46.47% of the shares and is worth more than 225 billion. According to the latest Forbes China Rich List, it is enough to rank in the top 70.

Experts say that the market's pursuit of DreamWorks is irrational, and its current market value has been severely overestimated. Taking American film and television media companies as an example, the market value of film and television companies is usually equivalent to their annual revenue.

Especially for DreamWorks, although the films it produced last year generated a global box office of more than 150 billion yuan, plus other revenues such as TV dramas and animations, although the revenue has not been disclosed, it is conservatively estimated that it should be more than 60 billion yuan.

But the box office results of film and television companies are unstable. Even world giants like Disney and Warner have erratic box office results every year. What's more, DreamWorks implements a boutique strategy, and the number of projects is far less than that of large film and television companies.

However, Dreamworks' business lines are too pure, and the film and television industry has little involvement in the upstream and downstream, which will make its revenue more unstable, and the revenue stability is far lower than that of the other five major studios.

However, considering that Huaguo’s overall film and television concept stocks are seriously overvalued, especially the bubbles in several A-share film and television stocks are more serious, and Dreamworks still holds 25.36% of the shares of C Station, and C Station also intends to speed up the pace of listing in the United States. .

If DreamWorks can maintain the revenue scale of last year, its market value may be relatively stable in the foreseeable future, and even rise with the growth of Station C.

Our reporter XXX reported.

...The sci-fi film "Edge of Tomorrow" produced by DreamWorks was officially released nationwide today. This film is directed by Guo Fan, a new star in the domestic film industry and has directed "Operation Mekong", starring action actors Wu Jing and Li Bingbing. It tells the story of the future The story of the human resistance army fighting against aliens.

It is reported that a large number of movie fans are excitedly waiting in the lobby at zero o'clock today. This is the first sci-fi movie after "Matrix" by DreamWorks, which is good at making sci-fi movies. Fans are looking forward to it.

The manager of National Film Studios said in an interview that "Edge of Tomorrow" will be the key film to support the market on May [-] this year. According to audience feedback, "Edge of Tomorrow" continues the reputation of science fiction films produced by DreamWorks, with exciting action and plot. exciting tension...

Last year's May 10st, DreamWorks' sci-fi romance film "Signal: Mirage" performed well, with a box office of more than 10 billion. "Edge of Tomorrow" is expected to surpass "Mirage" at the box office, becoming the fourth domestic film with a box office of more than [-] billion this year.

The first three films are 28.2 billion for the Spring Festival file "Detective Chinatown II", 15.8 billion for the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage", and 11.6 billion for "Kung Fu Yoga"..."

Tang Xin was lying on the bed in the suite ward of the International Department of Union Medical College Hospital, picked up the remote control and turned down the volume, picked up the baby, and nodded gently: "Sissy, did you hear that? Your father is a billionaire. You will be a billion little princess in the future..."

The little baby grabbed Tang Xin's hand and laughed.

Chen Jingxing, who was sitting by the bed, was a little jealous, and gently harassed his daughter's ear pinna with his fingers, which annoyed the little baby, and soon made him cry.

Tang Xin gave Chen Jingxing a white look: "How many times have you made her cry in the past few days? Babies can't keep crying, don't owe me any more."

It has been six days since Tang Xin gave birth, and she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but instead of going home, she will move to the Annabelle Nursing Center. This is a relatively high-end confinement center in Beijing, and the service is thoughtful and considerate.

Originally, according to Tang Xin's idea, she planned to go to a private hospital for delivery, and the service was better than that of a public hospital, which was also introduced by her colleague.

However, Chen Jingxing was not at ease about the level of private hospitals. Although there was basically no risk in childbirth, he was not afraid of [-] but just in case.

My brother Dong's younger sister will die due to sudden amniotic fluid embolism, which shows that no matter how low the risk is, it is not zero.

Although the top hospitals may not be able to save amniotic fluid embolism, it is always safer.

Top public hospitals are cheap, high-level, and poor in service, while private hospitals are expensive, good in service, and unreliable.

But for Chen Jingxing, he naturally wanted both.

After picking and choosing, the International Department of Union Medical College Hospital is a more suitable choice. Although the service is still slightly different from that of the private hospitals I contacted before, it is enough.

And the little princess who was born was also named by Chen Jingxing and Tang Xin immediately, even in advance - Chen Qianqian.

If it's a boy, it's Chen Zhouzhou.

Although the two elders were quite opposed, thinking that the name was too childish.

But Chen Jingxing and Tang Xin insisted that the name was cute, and the four old people had no choice but to give up their objections.

A buzzing sound interrupted the sweet and comfortable atmosphere of the family of three.

Chen Jingxing took out his phone and wanted to press it, but when he saw that it was Xu Wenshen calling, he could only sigh softly, and gave Tang Xin an apologetic look.

His account is known only to the top management of the company, and he has been keeping quiet these days, Xu Wenshen must have really been unable to hold back his call this time.

Tang Xin's finger seemed to be a baby's toy. She glared at Chen Jingxing, "Hurry up and go to your work. If you stay any longer, be careful that Qianqian will take revenge. In the future, when your daughter pulls out of your control, don't blame me for turning a blind eye." ah."

Since dating Chen Jingxing, the age gap has rarely been reflected in real life, and the relationship between siblings is completely untrue.

Chen Jingxing seemed to have a kind of maturity that a boy beyond his age should have.

As a result, since the birth of the daughter, the husband began to be childish rapidly, and Sissy became like his toy, no matter how much he could not amuse him enough.

Chen Jingxing didn't care about Tang Xin's drive away like a plague god. He smiled cheerfully and kissed his wife. out of the house.

Seeing the pink face of the little man lying next to her begin to wrinkle, and a layer of mist formed from his curious and confused eyes, Tang Xin took a deep breath.

"Chen Jingxing!!"

She gave birth to a child, and she still brought buy one get one free?
It is true that one child gave birth to a second child.

"Boss, a reporter asked you yesterday if you want to take a break from filming, how should I answer?"

As soon as he stepped into the office, Xu Wenshen closed the door to block the curious eyes of the staff outside who followed Chen Jingxing all the way, and then gave Chen Jingxing a blow.

Facing President Xu's eccentricity, Chen Jingxing hastily issued a "crime order".

Chen Jingxing basically suspended his work from the end of April to concentrate on accompanying Tang Xin while she was about to give birth.

The filming of "Matrix II", which had already started, also stopped, and the entire crew was on vacation.

It's not a problem for most crew members, who wouldn't be happy to get paid for nothing?The vacation period is also counted in the construction period.

The actors also received additional remuneration, and most of them were stars dug out by DreamWorks, so there was no complaint.

DreamWorks was listed on Hong Kong Island, and Chen Jingxing was unable to come forward. It was Xu Wenshen who led the team to ring the bell at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This aroused a lot of attention from the Hong Kong media at the time. After all, this also affected the news value in a certain sense.

Ever since someone won the Oscar for best director, the outside world has been buzzing, but Chen Jingxing, who is in the eye of the typhoon, is quite low-key.

All applications for interviews were rejected, and Time Magazine’s cover for Chen Jingxing was rejected. In the end, Chen Jingxing’s abstract, post-modern portrait was used as the cover of the North American, Asian and global editions after the Oscars. The effect is actually quite good. Compared with the cover shot by real people, it is more legendary and mysterious.

I didn't attend the celebration party where the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" broke one billion.

Even when "Matrix II" started filming, no photos were released, and the filming scene was also a letter to the end, and the media was declined to disturb the filming.

Of course, the excuse is aboveboard, for fear of spoilers.

This is really not unfounded worry, just like Hollywood's heavyweight super-English movies must be strictly kept secret, "Matrix II" has also reached this level.

Not only the domestic media paid special attention to it, but even the foreign media were very concerned about every move of the "Matrix" sequel.

Although Chen Jingxing apparently relied on "Gravity" to become the king of the Oscars, in fact, in the eyes of many media, especially most netizens, at most one-third of Chen Jingxing's best director was due to "Gravity" ", and one third are Chen Jingxing's previous sci-fi movies.

The final third is The Matrix.

In fact, the stamina of "Matrix" is much greater than that of "Gravity", although the global box office is more than 2 million US dollars worse than "Gravity".

Because "Gravity" is the movie "Gravity", you can pass it after watching it in theaters.

"Matrix" is a revolutionary world view in science fiction movies.

And even if "Matrix" leaves the theater, leaves the IMAX screen, it still has a strong charm on the computer, on the TV, and even on the mobile phone.

Matrix, Lord God, Saint, Awakening, Huaxu Kingdom, Scavenger, Robots Raising Humans, and Brains in Vats, the real and unreal discussions of the world not only stay in the pen of film critics, but also spread rapidly among movie fans.

Puzzle solving, secondary creation, and various interpretations not only did not fade away with the release of the movie, but their vitality became stronger and stronger.

With the Oscar-best director and the filming of "Matrix II", the more people are curious about Chen Jingxing, the more mysterious and low-key Chen Jingxing is, and this is news value.

It is no wonder that the Hong Kong media were very disappointed that Chen Jingxing did not attend the listing of DreamWorks.

Even at the capital level, the underwriters are also dissatisfied when the company is listed and the chairman and largest shareholder does not show up.

Although Hong Kong stocks are not as outrageous as A shares, there is also a metaphysical part.

If Chen Jingxing, the Oscar-winning director and legendary figure who created DreamWorks, can make an appearance on the day of the listing, the media hype will increase, and will the opening price increase be even higher?
But Chen Jingxing is not just a director after all, as the big boss of DreamWorks, some complaints from his partners are like a breeze to him.

Didn't even attend the listing of DreamWorks, let alone the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow".

It just so happened that Guo Fan, the director of "Edge of Tomorrow", was eating sand while shooting "Operation Red Sea" in Africa. The promotion of "Edge of Tomorrow", a heavyweight sci-fi giant produced by DreamWorks, was completely supported by the leading actor.

Fortunately, Wu Jing and Li Bingbing, who have finished filming "Spike II", are considered big stars. Even if they are not first-line, their nationalities are quite strong, which did not affect the film's publicity.

It's no wonder that Xu Wenshen has deep resentment towards Chen Jingxing.
