Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Chapter 290 This is a capital game

The flight steward went to the airport VIP channel in advance to greet Holly and help him carry his luggage.

Holly glanced at Li Nian's outfit today and praised, "It looks very stylish today, I like it."

Li Nianying smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your praise."

Got on a private plane and flew directly to the capital.

He can spend the night with his goddaughter tonight and attend Guo Fan's dinner tomorrow. Holly can predict that it will not be easy for Qihang Media to get a share of the sci-fi IP.

Because the science fiction IP "The Wandering Earth" has been a capital game from the beginning.

Whether it is the main creative team or the publicity team, the external packaging is that it is difficult to shoot this movie, lack of funds, overcome various technical special effects... whatever problems.

He emphasized that it is not easy to make Chinese science fiction movies and called on the Chinese people to pay for them.

But is this really the case?

Are the investors and big financiers behind the first and second installments of "The Wandering Earth" really short of money, or are they really unwilling to invest?
In other words, it was a capital game to cut leeks from the beginning.

When the first part of "The Wandering Earth" was released, Guo Fan invited Wu Jing to join the team. During the announcement, he mentioned that Wu Jing helped solve the urgent need for funds shortage.

In fact, it's just two brothers joining a group to keep warm. If they knew who the investors behind it were, netizens would probably understand.

The two main investors in the first part were Jingcheng Culture and Guo Fan Pictures. Wu Jing’s Dengfeng Pictures joined in the later stages of filming and got a piece of the pie.

The predecessor of Jingcheng Culture was Jingcheng Tourism, which became a listed company in the past few years. Later, with the help of Song Ge, it acquired Ferris Wheel Culture and changed its name to Jingcheng Culture.

Who is Song Ge?

Wang Jianlin's former boss, the chairman of Wanda Pictures Group, had been supporting Wang Jianlin to take Wanda Pictures public before leaving Wanda to run his own Ferris Wheel Culture.

After Jingcheng Tourism acquired Ferris Wheel Culture for 1.5 million, Song Ge became the vice chairman of Jingcheng Culture.

Next, Jingcheng Culture began to adjust its business focus, moving from the tourism industry into the entertainment industry.

First, Century Partners was acquired for 13.5 billion. The actual controller of Century Partners was the former person in charge of film and television dramas of Huayi Brothers. He controlled the best team of screenwriters and directors in the country.

Then it spent 7.5 million to acquire Zhejiang Galaxy. The actual controller of Zhejiang Galaxy is gold medal agent Wang Jinghua, who controls more than 50 well-known entertainers in the entertainment industry, including Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Liang Jiahui, Carina Lau, Zhou Dongyu, Lu Yi... and so on.

These two steps of Beijing Culture have laid the foundation for a cheating existence in the film and television industry in the next few years. They have successively launched "My Deskmate", "The Flowers of the Heart", "Wolf Warrior", "The Secret of the Dragon", " "The Wandering Earth"...and many other blockbuster movies.

Huali, the major shareholder behind Jingcheng Culture, cannot take such a big step alone. After all, this kind of merger-and-acquisition style of play consumes too much cash.

At this time, it was Song Ge who brought in another big benefactor, Zhang Jun of Fortune Life Insurance.

Zhang Jun and his wife are tens of billions of billionaires who have appeared on the Hurun rankings.

After injecting capital into Jingcheng Culture, Zhang Jun pushed Song Ge to take the position of chairman of Jingcheng.

From this, Song Ge started his original career at Wanda Pictures.

Created the rapid rise of Beijing culture.

The production cost of The Wandering Earth 1 was only over [-] million. Do you think Guo Fan is really short of money?
Forget about the culture of the capital alone, there is another big benefactor, and he is not short of money either.

The legal representative of Guo Fan Pictures is Guo Fan, but who is the major shareholder behind it?
Another second-generation super-rich person in China is Sun Zheyi.

Sun Zheyi's father is Sun Hongbin, the former richest man in Tianjin who took over from Jia Yueting and Sunac China's Sunac Wang Shi.

At that time, Sun Zheyi from the Sunac Group, Wang Sicong from the Wanda Group, Zhang Kangyang from the Suning Group, and Li Xingxing from the Geely Group were collectively known as the “four major young clubs in China.”

It's just that this second-generation super rich man keeps a low profile, rarely shows up, and is rarely known to the public.

But there is no doubt that he is truly talented and knowledgeable, and his investment vision is ruthless.

Before Sunac China entered the real estate crisis, he had already been appointed to take over Sunac Entertainment.

When filming "The Wandering Earth 1", Sun Zhe first provided a film and television shooting base, took a big bite, then invested in Guo Fan Pictures, took another bite, and finally split the box office and took another bite.

This young boss ate a fish three times and played a capital game even more wildly than his father, Sun Hongbin.

Then he invested in "My Motherland and Me", "Assassination of Novelists", "Ten Thousand Miles Home", and "The Wandering Earth 2".

Each one of them is a movie with a box office of over [-] billion, making a lot of money.

While Sun Hongbin was still struggling in the real estate business, he had already instructed his son to carve out a career in the entertainment industry.

It's just that Sunac China's market is too big to be closed for a while.

The current environment is not like Wang Jianlin’s situation a few years ago, where people were buying and selling.

He smashed it all into his bowl and could only swallow it slowly.

Sun Zhe Yique invested more than [-] million in production costs?

Wu Jing joined in the later stage and acted as a friendly star. He didn't have much role. In fact, Wolf Warrior was very popular at that time and Guo Fan wanted to use his reputation to promote it. Then he said that he ran out of money in the later stages of filming, so his good brother Wu Jing joined the team with funding.

Of course, Wu Jing also took a bite.

Not to mention the following "The Wandering Earth 2".

Although Beijing Culture did not take the lead this time, a more powerful China Film Group came.

State-owned enterprises!

It is the largest film company in China composed of eight film and television units, and is also the only unit with the right to import films.

When investing in "The Wandering Earth 2", 20 billion funds were launched to support the science fiction film industry.

Although the production cost of "Traffic Earth 2" exceeded [-] billion, China Film Group alone was responsible for [-] million.

Next are Guo Fan Pictures invested by Sun Zheyi and Wu Jing's Dengfeng International.

Maoyan, Alibaba Pictures, etc. that joined later, that is, they used services to invest in publicity and distribution costs, and the box office share they received was only a small profit.

After all, what they are playing is a closed-loop circle, and their own people always take the lion's share.

Looking at it this way, no one would think that the crew of "The Wandering Earth" would be short of money.

Andy Lau was the least cost-effective. He paid to be famous, but in the end he didn't even get a bite.

The external promotion of "The Wandering Earth 2" is a loss of money. Whose money is it losing?

With the little leek’s money, the big capital has long been full.

Whether it is Guo Fan or Wu Jing, these directors and actors are just money-making tools for capital and spokespersons in the entertainment industry.You can discard it at any time, and you can replace it at any time.

The same was true for Huayi Brothers, who dominated the entertainment industry back then, and eventually became an outcast of capital.

Artists please directors and funders, and the funders must also serve the capitalists behind them.

What Holly wants to do is to be the capitalist who controls the entertainment industry behind the scenes.

This time Wu Jing took the initiative to ask him out, probably because he regarded him as a friend and wanted to play with him.

But Guo Fan has a different idea. This "alms master" will not let you take a big bite of the mature science fiction IP "The Wandering Earth" so easily.

You have money to invest, but others may not want it.

The shareholders behind him may not let you participate.

In this case, Guo Fan invited Holly to dinner, and Holly could probably guess Guo Fan's intention.

After all, the reputation of "Instructor Huo" is so popular all over the Internet.

His words are much more powerful than ticketing platforms such as Maoyan...

Otherwise, the crew would not use Qiang Yin as the main publicity channel.

Wu Jing was also asked to be a guest at New Oriental Live Studio to sell movie tickets.

The investment is not bad, but the publicity work must be done well.

With such a strong voice, it is no exaggeration to say that a topic can popularize a movie.

Who is Instructor Huo?

A powerful player with his own traffic.

……

Landed in Beijing and settled in a hotel.

From the moment he entered the room, Jiang He clung to Holly.

We are going to separate again.

Very sad.

During this trip to Hong Kong City, her godfather took her to see the world, and he also got Jackie Chan's invitation and Xiang Tai's contact information.

Although Hong Kong movies have declined, international movie stars like Jackie Chan and powerful producers like Xiang Tai still have a strong voice in the Chinese film market.

Jiang He knew in her heart that Holly only regarded her as his little lover, but she did not deny that she fell in love with this godfather.

But she is also aware of her identity and does not dare to overstep it easily. She has the idea of ​​replacing her godfather's sweetheart.

It is equivalent to self-destruction.

The little girl is not that stupid.

Holly took a bath, and she ran into the bathroom with a smile, took off her clothes, stepped into the bathtub and rubbed Holly's back.

Holly said enjoyingly: "Appearing on a variety show is a good thing for a newcomer like you.

But as an actor, don’t be obsessed with variety shows. In the future, I will also ask my company and agents to avoid receiving announcements from variety shows.

Actors cannot be active in variety shows often, and their roles cannot be established.

This time I went to northern Shaanxi to cooperate with Deng Chao and others in recording the program. "

"Yeah, I understand, godfather." Jiang He said.

"Next year the company will launch an S-class project. The male lead has been negotiated. Wang Hedi, I am going to let you take over the female lead.

You have played so many supporting roles, and I will remember the director’s affirmation and praise for you.

Give you a chance to try it.

do not let me down. "

Jiang He hugged Holly excitedly, "I love you, godfather."

Holly smiled: "As long as you obey, your godfather will give you whatever you want."

"Yeah, my daughter will listen to her godfather in everything." Jiang He responded obediently.

……

Early the next morning, Zhong Yiwen drove Jiang He back to school.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Holly got into the driver's car and went to the hotel for an appointment.

Wu Jing received the message and came down to greet him personally.

"Mr. Huo, please." Wu Jing was quite enthusiastic.

Huo Li said: "I'm having a social event in Hong Kong City. I'll fly directly to the capital as soon as I receive your notice. Is Guo Fan here?"

"Mr. Huo is busy with official duties, thank you for your support." Wu Jing said politely, "Guo Fan is in the box."

Holly nodded and followed upstairs.

When I walked into the box, I saw that Guo Fan was the only spokesperson, and none of the big benefactors behind him showed up.

Basically confirming Hawley's suspicions.

Tonight's dinner was not about letting him enter the circle to share the cake.

They were talking about how to profit from the reputation of "Instructor Huo".

If Instructor Huo's reputation was tainted with profit, he would no longer be the Instructor Huo who is sought after and respected by netizens.

Holly had replied to Zuo Yingying that he valued "reputation" very much. If someone had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of "Instructor Huo" for profit, he would have touched Holly's evil side.

　I recommend a new book "The Spy Begins in 1938" by a veteran author of the Anti-Japanese War espionage war. It is unsystematic, the writing is normal, and the plot is not exaggerated. Book friends who are interested in reading this kind of subject can take a look.
