Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 261
Spring Festival stalls!
The schedule that only emerged in 2010 was pioneered by Uncle Long.

Before 2010, from the end of November to the fifteenth or three months of the first month of the new year, they were all called Lunar New Year stalls.

With the improvement of the national economy, the establishment of theaters across the country and the prosperity of commercial films, more and more films are released at the end of each year.

In order to avoid the highly competitive Lunar New Year files, many small and medium-cost movies have to choose their release dates around New Year's Eve.

So far, the Lunar New Year stalls have been divided into two.

The period from the end of November to the Lunar New Year is called the Lunar New Year stall, and the twenty days from the Xiaonian to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year are called the Spring Festival stall.

The extra money in the pockets of ordinary people is gradually increasing, and the slightly dull Spring Festival stalls are also full of vitality, becoming the third largest schedule after the summer vacation and Lunar New Year stalls, and even more popular than the National Day stalls.

There is no doubt that the biggest winner of this year's Lunar New Year file belongs to Hengyu Media.

In 2011, several big-cast films that Hua Yi directed were still in production. Feng Pants' "1942" and Uncle Long's "Zodiac" will not be released until this year.
Master Xing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be delayed until 13 years.

Guangxian has been doing small things for many years, and it went public last year and made a big splash. It has directed three costume movies with an investment of more than [-] million yuan, but none of them are too big.

After Bona US stocks rebounded from "Edge of Tomorrow", they fell into the quagmire again.

Although several films under the master control such as "Eavesdropping 2", "The Inn of Fortune" and "The Great Magician" made money, they did nothing to boost the stock price.

On the morning of May 1th.

Hengyu's team went to the United States to promote, and Yu Dong also came to see him off. Bona sent two executives to fly to North America to cooperate with Andy to discuss the copyright of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate".

In the waiting hall of the airport, Fang Ziheng and Yu Dong were chatting in the smoking room.

With a smile on his face, Yu Dong smoked a cigarette and sighed: "Fang Dong, you are still a cow, Heng Yu is an expert in making movies!"

Bona has been established for so many years, and has never directed a film with a single film exceeding [-] million yuan. The two blockbuster films that participated in the investment were all hitched by Hengyu Media.

"Yu Dong is too polite."

Fang Ziheng smiled modestly, flicked the cigarette ash and said: "Fang is not a person who eats alone, let's have a good chat after the New Year, Hengyu's project will not forget Bona Films."

"That's a good relationship. I'm older than me. Thank you, Dong Fang."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dong hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, and looked at Fang Ziheng with affection.

"Don Fang, don't worry, Lao Yu has no other advantages, but loyalty. From now on, Bona and Hengyu will be brother companies. I, Lao Yu, will never drag Hengyu back."

Yu Dong patted his chest and made a vow, willing to become a closer partner with Hengyu Media.

What Fang Ziheng wanted was his words.

Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, and the three companies have to both win over and split up. On a large scale, they have to form an offensive and defensive alliance.

In private, we should also communicate more with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong.

Huayi pays attention to stocks, as long as it gives Wang Zhongjun a 20% investment share in a blockbuster movie every year, he can make this guy greet him with a smile and not make small moves behind his back.

Wang Changtian has a deep mind, and small favors and small benefits are useless to him.

Fang Ziheng used Hengyu Mutual Entertainment to pull him onto the chariot, and called on Xingmei Cinemas and Baoli Cinemas to set up Wuzhou Publishing, and only then did he gain Lao Wang's friendship.

Among the three, there was one remaining in Yudong. Although this guy was not a good bird, he was still the boss of a film and television company who made movies sincerely.

Bona has no good projects next year, and there is no place to spend the money, which just gives Fang Ziheng an opportunity to take advantage of.

Paying a share of one or two medium-budget film projects can definitely draw Bona to Hengyu's side.

In Fang Ziheng's forecast, the three major listed companies are in the front, and Hengyu Media is in the rear, forming a three-punch pattern, firmly controlling the pattern of the film market.

Build a defensive circle of entertainment giants to prepare for the next two years to resist the sweep of the three hooligans.

The effect of this strategy has already appeared.

The most obvious is Huayi's live-action entertainment project, which has not been completed in this life.

On the one hand, Wang Zhongjun didn't intend to pay cash at all, but Zhang Weiping pointed it out in front of the leader of the Propaganda Department at the film working conference the year before last.

In addition to last year's "Four Famous Catch", "The Great Earthquake", and "Edge of Tomorrow", Wang Zhongjun watched Huayi's stock rise steadily, and he was much less concerned about real estate projects.

However, this is only the initial effect. In the future, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong will be called to drink tea and unify their thinking.

Publicize the harmfulness of the three hooligans to the film and television industry and their ambitions for traditional film and television companies.

Fang Ziheng is very confident now, Hengyu currently sits on the IP source of Qidian Chinese website, Tudou Video online channel, Tiangong Yicai Special Effects Company, and Hengyu game capital supplement.

As long as the Hengyu Cinemas is further improved, the threat of the three hooligans is not in vain, not to mention the hard steel, at least in the entertainment circle, and in the film and television industry, they can be ignored.

It will take another two to three years for Hengyu to lay out the theater circuit plan. During this period of time, the alliance of the four giants must be solid and there must be no problems.

While thinking with his eyes, Fang Ziheng pressed the cigarette out and said, "Did Yu ever think about withdrawing Bona to the mainland and re-listing?"

"Why didn't I think about it, but it's easy to get into the U.S. stock market, but it's hard to withdraw from the U.S. stock market!"

Yu Dong gave a wry smile, took several puffs of cigarettes in a row, pressed the butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, and cursed: "Damn it, if I knew Nakodas was so difficult to mess with, I might as well have let the company go public in the mainland, and I would Don’t be angry with the foreigners!”

In the previous life, Bona officially bid farewell to NASDAQ in 2016, and Bona was delisted from the US stock market.

Then it took another five years, until August 2021, 1, to return to mainland A-shares and ring the bell again for listing.

The journey was arduous and long, and Yu Dong also changed from a 39-year-old in his prime to a little old man in his early 50s.

In the years since Bona's return, he has been committed to shooting blockbuster films with Huaguo characteristics.

"Operation Mekong", "Operation Red Sea", "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart", "Captain Huaguo", "Heroes of Fire", "Decisive Moment", "Doctor Huaguo", "Changjin Lake", "Shuimen Bridge" ".

These films are all films controlled by Bona.

In the 30 years of Chinese-language film and television, hundreds of thousands of film and television companies have been established in the entertainment industry, and only Bona Films can be regarded as a real film company.

Yu Dong can be regarded as a real filmmaker!
This guy really loves movies. Although the way of rising is not very glorious, since Bona was founded, he has been committed to releasing popular and blockbuster movies.

Compared with the glamorous and small fights, Huayi anticlimactic, and the three hooligans playing with capital flow, Bona is much purer and has made greater contributions to Chinese-language films.

Fang Ziheng sighed, and suggested: "Yu Dong, don't care about the stock price, just let go if you have to, and come back as soon as possible is the right thing to do."

"The mainland market is growing day by day. In the next few years, the development of the film and television industry will continue to grow. The sooner Bona returns to A-shares, the sooner it can enjoy dividends."

"Dong Fang doesn't know something, why don't I want to return to A shares sooner, but the capital on Wall Street is unwilling to let go."

Yu Dong shook his head and said, with a gloomy expression and extremely angry heart.

North America welcomes any company to invest, spend money to build North America, and serve the so-called upper elite society.

But you want to go, sorry, it's not that easy.

Fortunately, the limited company can reasonably avoid the withdrawal of assets through multi-party operations. It is impossible for a listed company to lose its layers.

Hearing this, Fang Ziheng smiled and remained silent.

What should be reminded, he has already reminded, it depends on Yu Dong's courage.

At this time, the door of the smoking room was pushed open.

Liu Qianqian poked her head in, glanced twice and said, "Director, Yu Dong, it's almost time."

"It's Ms. Liu, oops, blame me, blame me for taking up Fang Dong's time."

Yu Dong was taken aback, patted his forehead suddenly, and smiled at Liu Qianqian with a face of shame.

As he spoke, he stood up and strode out, saying as he walked, "Fang Dong, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go and explain to them."

"Yu Dong, you are busy with your work."

Fang Ziheng waved his hand, then got up and walked to the door, smiling and looking at the young lady who stepped aside.

Liu Qianqian glared at him angrily, still worrying about him not going to North America.

Fang Ziheng took her little hand, straightened her hat, and said softly, "Come in and talk."

"I don't, it's full of smoke."

Liu Qianqian said no, but her body was very honest, she stepped up to Fang Ziheng, and closed the door behind her.

"Sissy..."

Fang Ziheng put her in his arms and kissed her forehead, expressing his reluctance.

"Oh, it will be seen by others."

The young lady was shy, shaking her head, paying attention to the flow of people outside the smoking room.

"It's okay, you can see it when you see it, no one cares about me kissing my wife."

"Bah, who is your wife, you are a big villain."

The young lady, Danfeng, narrowed her eyes, showed a little smile, put her arms around his neck and kissed him proactively.

This parting will take another ten days, and the group of them will have to spend the Chinese New Year in North America, and they will not be able to return until the first month of the month.

The relationship between the two is as gluey as honey, and of course they are reluctant to part with each other.

1 minute later.

Liu Qianqian was short of breath, holding Fang Ziheng's cheeks with both hands, and said fiercely with a pretty face: "I warn you, you have to be honest during my absence, if you let me know that you went to find Da Mimi, I can't get around you when I come back."

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll be as good as a jade!" Fang Ziheng hastily promised, with a loyal and dogleg appearance.

Liu Qianqian nodded, very satisfied with his statement, and continued to show her teeth: "Also, you have to call me every night, I want to check the ward!"

hiss..
My God, there is no need for ward rounds!

Fang Ziheng was dumbfounded, cursing in his heart which bastard taught me nothing.

Miss Sister's half-handed imperial husbandry, it seems that she did not figure it out by herself, and there must be someone behind her back.

He even came out for rounds.

Hey!
After thinking about it, Fang Ziheng decided to take the initiative: "We can video, I live at home every night and never go out to fool around."

"real!"

The little sister was happy, the corners of her mouth were raised, and the teeth were unconsciously exposed.

This is the effect she wanted. Anyway, Da Mimi is very busy and rarely lives in the duplex building. As long as Fang Ziheng doesn't go out to live, the chances of the two hooking up will be greatly reduced.

As for Concubine Lin, Zeng Li, and Song Yi, they usually go home during the Chinese New Year, even if they go to the duplex, it doesn't matter.

Just loosen the blood for her lover, she believes that the three of them will not steal her seat in the palace!
In this regard, Liu Qianqian still has confidence. After three years of dating, Lin Feifei, Zeng Li, and Song Yi's personalities are not that kind of people.

.........

ten o'clock in the morning.

Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian finished their ambiguity, sent a group of people to board the plane, and then drove to Hengyu Media to hold a meeting of the company's executives.

In the large conference room on the 22nd floor, except for Andy and Lin Wei, director of the distribution department, all other executives were present, sitting on both sides of the conference table.

The meeting was presided over by Mo Xiangwan, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Hengyu Media, and various departments reported the company's fourth-quarter earnings, as well as the financial reports of the company's many projects throughout 2011.

"Chairman, colleagues, the accounts for "Slaying the Wolf 2" and "33 Days of Broken Relationship" have been settled."

"The total box office of "Slaying the Wolf 2" is 4.65 million. After deducting 2000 million publicity expenses, the box office revenue is 1.25 million. After deducting the 6000 million production cost, the box office net profit is 6500 million soft sister coins."

"In addition, because "Slaying Wolf 2" is supervised by the chairman, many advertisers came to the door in advance. The production department negotiated a total of 4800 million feature advertisements. The movie "Slaying Wolf 2" brought 1.13 million to the company. income!"

Chief Financial Officer Lin Ruohua held a report, and while talking, came to the front of the conference room and used the remote control to open the multimedia on the wall.

On the multimedia screen, the expenditure accounts of "Slaying the Wolf 2" are listed line by line, as well as the income after the release.

Fang Ziheng rubbed his chin and looked at it for a while, then said to Lin Ruohua, "After the meeting, prepare a check for 880 million, I will use it."

"Okay, Chairman!"

Lin Ruohua smiled slightly, and responded immediately.

Liu Minghui from the Strategic Investment Department and Ning You, Director of the Propaganda Department, frowned, wanting to speak, as if they had different opinions on Fang Ziheng's approach.

Fang Ziheng ignored the two and waved for Lin Ruohua to continue.

Wu Jing worked hard, wrote, directed and acted by himself, and only accounted for 2% of the income from "Slaying the Wolf 10". As an investor, he had to be eye-catching.

The box office is a big hit, and the dividends that should be given must be given.

880 million may not seem like much, but it can warm Wu Jing's heart.

Fang Ziheng knew very well that Wu Jing was a good director seedling, the kind with his own box office appeal.

The two usually communicate a lot, and the other party is not a person who values ​​money very much.

But it is this kind of disregard, he should level the water and give out a dividend of 880 million. In the future, Wu Jing will bring him tens of hundreds of times of feedback.

Then, Lin Ruohua elaborated on the income of "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

"33 Days of Broken Love" has a total box office of 6.1 million soft sister coins.

The producer's share is 2.573 million. Compared with "Slaying the Wolf 2" and the theater chain's 45% share, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is a bit more, with a share of 46%.

After deducting 3000 million publicity fees, the remaining box office revenue is 2.273 million.

Among them, 10% of Hengyu's distribution account must be deducted first, which is 2273 million.

At the same time, Su Lun had to deduct Su Lun's director share, which was 10% like Wu Jing, 2000 million.

In the whole project, Su Lun personally invested another 5%, Hengyu Media accounted for 65%, and Rong Xinda accounted for 30%.

Calculated, Hengyu Media can share 1.26 million yuan, deducting 3000 million production costs, and a net box office profit of 9600 million yuan.

In addition to the 2273 million distribution share and the 8600 million feature advertising fee, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" brought the company nearly [-] million in net income.

3000 million cost, 8 million net profit in 2 months.

Tsk tsk smells so good!

After reading the report, Fang Ziheng gestured to Lin Ruohua, asking her to prepare a check for Su Lun as well.

Seeing this, Wen Muye, who is the director of the film business department of Hengyu Media, smiled knowingly, and gave Fang Ziheng a thumbs up in front of everyone.

Boss, you are really kind!
I love you!
Seeing Wen Muye's shameless flattery, the rest of the executives were speechless.

Damn, besides being the director of the film business department, this guy is also the contracted director of the company.

Fang Ziheng sent the check with great fanfare, and this guy was the happiest.

After the distribution of "Manslaughter 10" came out in October, Wen Muye also got a bonus of 1 million yuan, which made them very envious of the group of executives.

Li Xiaoshu from the TV business department gave Wen Muye a sideways look, annoyed that he was acting badly and broke the news.

The contracted directors in their department who made TV dramas were all moved when they heard the news.

I keep reporting to her, and I also want to direct a movie, so I can be promoted to a movie director and reach the pinnacle of my life.

Sensing Li Xiaoshu's warning gaze, Wen Muye felt very wronged, what is this all about.

Obviously Fang Ziheng asked him to spread the news in order to attract talents to join Hengyu Media, why everyone blames him.

He's the one who takes the blame, okay?
