Chapter 851 The Aggrieved Xiangjiang Filmmaker
The specifications of China Film’s listing are not small. The deputy director of Optoelectronics and the director of the Film Bureau are all present, and each leader speaks one by one.

Tang An just sat down with someone, just to make a show.

Even in the second half of 2015, when the Han and Tang Dynasties were victorious and once again swept the domestic film market, Tang An didn't plan to ridicule or talk to them.

Of course, Wang Zhongjun and Fan Luyuan said a few words in a strange manner, but Tang An sent them back.

Only losers are anxious. When you lose in the film market, you just want to win back with your mouth.

It was enough for Tang An to come here with great fanfare as a victor.

Just sitting under the stage like this became one of the centers of focus on the scene.

Compared to their heaviness and different thoughts, Tang An and the others were much more relaxed.

"This time China Film's listing did not create a billionaire." Xu Zheng also joked.

Every time a film and television company goes public, in addition to the company's executives, there are always a group of stars and directors who benefit from it, with the exception of China Film.

Of course, this is determined by the interest of China Film Group.

Tang An said with a smile, "The dividends in the capital market have almost been eaten up. It is estimated that it will be the last year or two. Some time ago, I heard from CITIC's executive director that the China Securities Regulatory Commission may impose restrictions on film and television, games, and the Internet. Tutoring hours and profit requirements may increase."

what?
Hearing what Tang An said, Xu Zheng was shocked.

In addition to their salary, film and television investment, and advertising income, these actors and directors are mostly in the capital market, and any merger or bet is more than the salary of a few movies.

If it is really going to restrict the listing of the film and television industry, that is really bad news.

Not only Xu Zheng, but no one does not want to take more money. This matter is related to the future of all stars and directors in the middle and upper classes in the industry.

Yang Mi immediately exclaimed, "Then what should I do, I'm still planning to apply for listing on the GEM!"

"You really dare to think, why not come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to ring the bell next year." Tang An was speechless.

Yang Mi glared at Tang An angrily, "Why not, many small companies are preparing to go public."

Deng Chaolai smoothed things over and said, "Mimi, your company must meet the requirements of the GEM, and there is no problem going public."

"It's not the same thing."

Tang An shook his head. Yang Mi's company must have a valuation of 30 billion. Most of the companies on the GEM do not have this market value, and there are even many companies on the main board that do not have such a market value.

"Industry dividends have been eaten by several major companies, especially small and medium-sized film and television companies. It will become more and more difficult to survive in the capital market. Now there are signs of this. Heli Chenguang behind Guo Jinming has postponed the new third board. Listed on the NEEQ after the release of "Grand Trail" next year, the listing of Jiangning Happy Blue Ocean will also be delayed until next year."

The ones in front eat meat, the ones in the back drink soup, and the ones in the back can't even drink soup.

Not only can't drink the soup, but it's easy to burn your mouth.

Tang An looked around, and happened to see Hong Tao, the chairman of Happy Blue Ocean, and Wu Xiubo who was following him.

Tang An said to everyone, "Look over there, Happy Blue Ocean has postponed its listing, and Wu Xiubo may suffer a lot of losses this time."

Everyone in the circle knew about this, and Wu Xiubo often went to Baoli Building, and often came to visit, they all knew each other.

Wu Xiubo has a good friend named Wu Jiaxuan, who is the CEO of Mengjiangwei Film and Television. He has a very strong relationship. Mengjiangwei is also in Baoli Building, and he is a neighbor of Hantang.

The main controller of "Military Alliance" is Mengjiangwei Film and Television, and this project is also in preparation, and both of them have also come to Hantang to seek cooperation.

Tang An continued, "Wu Xiubo planned to spend 12 million yuan to subscribe for 4500% of the shares of Happy Blue Ocean in 2 years, but he had no money, so he paid 500 million yuan himself, and took 2% of the shares as collateral, from a private company Borrow 4000 million.

Now everyone knows that once a film and television company goes public, the shareholders will make a fortune, but the 4000 million has 300 million interest every year, and it is still a stock bought in 2012. In addition to the three-year lifting period, cash can only be cashed out in 2019. The interest of more than 2000 million, plus inflation, this investment can be said to be stable. "

This is the first time that everyone has heard that someone has invested in a film and television company that is about to go public, resulting in a loss of money.

In the past two years, there have been many new film and television companies, and many have closed, but almost all of the listed film and television companies have made a fortune.

Investing in a film and television company that is about to go public is a guaranteed profit.

But looking at Wu Xiubo who was sitting with Hong Tao over there, his expression was not very good, it was obvious that he had lost money.

Tang An said that the situation is so severe, coupled with the ready-made examples, Happiness Blue Ocean is not a small company, and the listing has been frustrated, and their capital dreams are also a little wobbly.

Seeing that they were a little more rational and no longer thinking about going public to make a fortune, Tang An smiled again, "The general environment of the capital market will not be very good in the next few years, but as long as they have strength, it is not a problem. Tang Cinemas will have to go public next year, and Forbidden City Media has some of your films, and there will be no problem going public after two years, as for each of you, it depends on the situation and you can do what you can."

Speaking of the listing of Hantang Films, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

As the veterans of the Hantang Group, they have made great contributions to the group, and they are all waiting for the listing of Hantang Pictures to get a share of it.

And with Tang An's personality, he probably wouldn't be stingy in his actions.

We must know that Hua Yiguang distributed nearly 7.5% of the shares to its artists and directors back then. With the target of Hantang Films' market value of 7.5 billion, if 75% were also distributed, it would be [-] billion!

Although there are more stars and directors under Hantang, the most important ones are Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao, and only three of them each got 15% of the shares of Forbidden City Media.

Originally, Deng Chao could become the fourth, but "Villain Angel" failed to meet expectations.

After calculating an account in their hearts, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Tang An took 3% of Huayi's shares back then, even if the two of them didn't get that much, as long as they got 1%, it would be one billion.

Xu Zheng and Ning Hao looked at each other, and soon the enthusiasm in their eyes faded a little. One billion is too much, and they dare not expect it.

Feng Xiaogang and Huayi signed the VAM agreement and they couldn't get one billion yuan, so Zhou Xingchi and New Culture got this amount, but it was a four-year performance VAM, and there were still a lot of restrictions.

The vast majority of directors in the circle are envious of Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi, and it's not that they haven't thought about it.

But now, there is no need to bet against each other, and there are no restrictions. You may get a similar amount of shares in a few months.

The same big director, others have to sign a four-to-five-year gambling agreement, and there are various restrictions and risks, but I don't have to do anything, and the money will be in hand.

Excited to think about.

Tang An couldn't hide his joy when he saw each of them. Most people work these days not only for money, but also for dreams and chicken soup.

Next, the listing of China Film went very smoothly. In less than 1 minute, it was directly blocked at the daily limit, which was even crazier than when Wanda was listed last time.

This is also inevitable, with Huaguo Securities, CITIC, China Merchants Bank, Social Security Fund and other giants jointly promoting it, coupled with the name of China Film Group, it is not uncommon for a one-minute daily limit.

However, the market value is only 403 billion, and it can increase by 44% on the first day, and up to 10% every day after that. Even if there are seven or eight consecutive daily limit, it will not reach the current market value of Wanda Films.

China Film Group went public, and after New Year's Day in early January, Tang An's Han and Tang Literature will also be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

As the first listed company of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Tang An naturally had to attend in person, and brought a team consisting of more than ten people from the three major departments of the distribution department, publicity and marketing department, and development department.

Before Hantang Literature went public, Tang An had to finalize with Li Ruigang the establishment of a distribution company in Southeast Asia.

The two parties first negotiated first, and then contacted Yuenan, Mingguo, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries one by one, and strived to initially complete the laying of the distribution network in the southeast development area after one year.

After getting off the plane and heading to the hotel, Cheng Hai, the director of the distribution department who accompanied him, held a pile of documents and asked Tang An for instructions, "Chairman, do you have any instructions regarding the cooperation with Shaw Brothers?"

Tang An said, "You can bring someone to discuss this matter."

"Chairman, won't you attend?" Cheng Hai was stunned.

This is related to the layout of the distribution network in the entire Southeast Asian region, not the city of Xiangjiang.

Tang An waved his hand and said, "Director Li and I have already discussed the general direction. You can just come forward for the rest. Director Li probably won't show up by then. He still has a lot of TVB affairs."

"Just remember one thing. If you need to make concessions, you must make concessions. If you don't want to give in, you can't give in. This cooperation must also be led by us!"

"Okay Chairman, I'll go talk to them tomorrow." Cheng Hai could only nod in response.

When Tang An arrived at the hotel, he went to look for Wu Wen. The listing was coming soon, so he had to prepare.

On the next day, Cheng Hai took the teams of three departments to Shaw Brothers Films located on Environmental Protection Avenue, Tseung Kwan O Industrial Park.

Looking at this prestigious film and television company, Cheng Hai was deeply moved.

Before that, Cheng Hai worked in distribution at Dongfang Shenlong, all the way from a distribution commissioner to a regional director in charge of a province. Later, he cooperated with Berna, and Dongfang Shenlong's distribution business was handed over to Berna. Most of the business was the distribution of Xiangjiang movies. I haven't come to Xiangjiang less often, and it's not the first time I've come to Shaw Brothers.

In the past, although Bernard had monopolized the distribution of most of Xiangjiang's films in the mainland, in that era, except for Bernard's top management, the middle management had always kept a low profile when facing the big companies of Xiangjiang.

In the face of Yinghuang and Huanya, it is not that Cheng Hai did not act low. Although the Shaw Brothers had long since declined, when Cheng Hai came here ten years ago, his attitude was still very low.

But this time, in Cheng Hai's eyes, there is no difference between Shaw Brothers and the small companies in the mainland. placed in a higher position.

Seeing that Tang An didn't show up, the Shaw executives who came to greet him were slightly taken aback, but they also asked the staff next to him to go up and inform him that he had arrived.

As the largest film and television company in Xiangjiang, it was able to radiate the entire Southeast Asia at its peak. Many old people of Shaw Brothers are still stuck in the glory of the year.

In the largest meeting room of Shaw Brothers, a group of senior executives of Shaw Brothers were stupefied when they learned that Hantang came to discuss cooperation with only a director of the distribution department, and then they were really aggrieved.

"It's fine if Tang An doesn't come, but the president, vice president, and general manager of the film business department don't even show up, and just send a distribution director over. What does that mean!"

"It doesn't take us seriously!"

"It's simply too arrogant, there is no sincerity at all, and it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate!"

Some people even started cursing, with a look of indignation, as if they were stimulated by something.

Except for Li Ruigang, the newly appointed chairman of the board of directors, all senior executives of Shaw Brothers, including the president and several executive directors, were present.

Facing Tang An, they also knew the situation of the domestic film and television industry, so they made enough gestures.

However, a group of people waited for Tang An here for a long time, but Tang An didn't come.

It doesn't matter if you don't come, Zhang Qiang comes too, but they sent a distribution director to talk, they couldn't bear it anyway, they felt completely ignored, as if they had been greatly humiliated.
