Chapter 853 Sweeping the Spring Festival stalls again

As the opening of the market approached, all the guests present sat down in the audience, waiting for the official listing of the most watched stock on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the opening year of 2016.

Tang An didn't overwhelm the guests, and handed over the scene to Wu Wen.

Although after listing and issuing 1.51 million shares, Tang An still holds 52% of the shares of Hantang Literature and has absolute control, but the independence of Hantang Literature is still very strong, and the group does not interfere too much with Hantang Literature operate.

There is no need to interfere, the senior management of the entire Han and Tang literature is the group of veterans of the original Singularity Chinese website, and they are the founders of online literature. In this industry, no one is more professional than them.

No one loves this industry more than them. The many capitals that entered the industry later are only for making money. The life and death of the industry has nothing to do with them.

Everything went according to the procedure. Wu Wen spoke on behalf of Han and Tang literature, expressing his feelings about the development process of the industry and the achievements of the company.

As the biggest beneficiary other than Tang An, Wu Wen didn't show much excitement. Before that, he had been sitting under the stage, holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking at the mobile phone, and watching the market opening on the stage from time to time. Gong smiled.

At 9:30, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially opened, and Han and Tang Literature was officially listed.

Issued 1.51 million shares at an issue price of 35 Hong Kong dollars. It is expected to raise funds of 52.85 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the subscription amount has reached more than 2800 billion. It is destined to go up across the board as soon as it goes public.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "grabbing". The winning rate of one lot is pitifully low, and the asking price in the black market has exceeded 45 Hong Kong dollars per share.

As soon as it was listed, the stock price soared to 50 Hong Kong dollars, and it continued to rise. At 9:48, after more than 18 minutes of listing, the stock price had exceeded 70, which was twice the issue price.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange does not have the rule of daily limit in the mainland securities market, and only the mainland has the rule of daily limit in the global stock market.

However, after breaking through 70, the trend became a little weak, and failed to continue to rise, but slowly fell back, and finally stabilized at around 65.5 Hong Kong dollars.

Issued 1.51 million shares at 65.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, raising funds of nearly 99 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 79 billion yuan.

The total market value of Han and Tang literature has also reached 590 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about 470 billion yuan.

perfect!

The listing went smoothly, and Tang An then hosted a banquet for the guests at the hotel next door.

Inevitably, it was another entertainment, listening to all kinds of congratulations and the like.

Xiang Huaqiang, Lin Jianyue, and Yang Shoucheng also came to congratulate with smiles on their faces. The market value is nearly 600 billion, and they are only a subsidiary of Tang An. At this time, they are also feeling dull.

"Hehe, thank you for your support, please forgive me for the poor greeting."

Tang An smiled, had a drink with them, and without saying anything, turned around to deal with the others.

These Xiangjiang capitalists also have a keen sense of smell, and in just half an hour just now, many of them have made millions of profits from it.

Business is not easy these days, and a charterer who owns thousands of properties under his banner even bobo inquired about a novel website in Xiangjiang.

In fact, Xiangjiang also has web novels, and the tertiary film "All the Way to the West" was adapted from a local web novel in Xiangjiang.

However, they are all published on forums, such as the Gordon Forum, similar to the fact that many people wrote books in Tianya ten years ago.

Some people in Xiangjiang also read the mainland’s web articles, and people in Southeast Asian countries read them, and they even go to Bilibili.

However, the Xiangjiang market is too small to support authors at all. Without authors, there will be no content. It is impossible to build a website by yourself, at most it will be a channel.

Tang An talked to a big landlord about building a channel platform, and called the vice president of Han and Tang Literature in charge of channel operations to talk to him in detail, and then dealt with other people.

When Xiang Huaqiang and the others saw Tang An, they just greeted them lightly, and then turned to chat with others, their faces a little ugly.

Even if they couldn't make it into the top wave of people in Xiangjiang, they were still at the top of the list in Xiangjiang, so they were ignored by Tang An.

But I can only hold back my displeasure, and what is even more disconcerting is the CEOs of Meiya Entertainment and Oriental Pictures, who greeted each other with only Tang An's nod and smile.

Don't give them face, not everyone is qualified to let Tang An give face.

With this skill, it is better to fool these landlords.

After the banquet was over and the guests were sent off, Tang An got together with several executives of the company, and some influential writers were also there.

"Thank you all, the success of the company today is inseparable from everyone. I hope you will grow together with Hantang Literature and become bigger and stronger!"

Tang An said a few words, and then told Wu Wen, "Mr. Wu, the company is now listed, and every move is paid attention to by investors and shareholders. You can’t wait for the knife to fall before acting.”

"It's natural. As a pioneer in the industry, we must play a guiding and exemplary role." Wu Wen nodded in response.

Tang An went on to say, "After the Internet has grown savagely, it will only become more and more strict. In the past two years, the requirements for video websites, the live broadcast industry, and various playback software have also become stricter. Han and Tang literature has also been listed on the market, and sooner or later it will increase." Supervision of online texts."

The legalization of video websites, live broadcasts to crack down on bad content, Xunlei and other downloaders and players are now also under a lot of impact.

In the past two years, the Internet has been flooded with all kinds of Japanese feature movies, and you can see them everywhere. Take Xunlei as an example, you can go to dig treasures to buy a cheap membership account, and there are nearly a hundred unhealthy movies in the offline and playback records.

This kind of account is shared by an unknown number of people. The more people use it, the more movies there will be in the offline and playback records. If you just buy one and watch it for a month, you can’t finish it.

Now Xunlei has been warned by the above, and it has to be rectified in an all-round way.

"Remember how Kuaibo died? Internet supervision is very difficult, and the spread is wider, so the standards will definitely be stricter." Tang An added.

After hearing this, all the executives complained endlessly, didn't you take the lead in killing Kuaibo, and let Leshi and Huayi be the first birds to bear the wrath of netizens when it was over.

But it was just thinking about it in my heart, and I responded repeatedly with my mouth.

Tang An talked a few more words with the authors, and he was quite familiar with these authors.

Tang An originally wanted to persuade some authors who liked to write abusers and green articles, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Jin Yong wrote that the Shendiao newspaper was smashed, so he still went his own way.

Fortunately, the readers of online articles are not so extreme, unlike the readers of Japan Benzene. Later, an animation company in Japan Benzene was burned down. Tang An doesn't remember the specific reason, but it seems that dozens of them died.

The trip to Xiangjiang ended happily, Tang An didn't stay long, and flew back to the capital that day.

The Spring Festival stalls came soon as scheduled. "Kung Fu Panda 3" was the first to debut and was released two weeks before the Spring Festival. It grossed 4 million box office in the first weekend and 3 million in the second week, setting a new high in the series.

On the evening of February 2th, the four blockbuster films "The Mermaid", "Omen 7", "Journey to the West: Three Fighting the Bones", and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Qing Ming" held a grand premiere ceremony in Beijing, announcing the Spring Festival schedule of the official arrival.

All around the premiere scene, everyone is full of confidence.

The three sequels, with the guarantee of the previous work, are all blockbusters with a potential of one billion.

"The Mermaid" played a card of affection, and Zhou Xingchi's name is now his appeal.

The Spring Festival stalls are a visual carnival for the audience, and it is also a harvest time for major companies.

But how much you can gain depends on the box office of the movie.

After the premiere, the movie was officially released. Since the morning, the executives of major companies have been paying close attention to the movements of several movies.

"Brother, the box office of "The Mermaid" is too fierce. Now the audience seems to be brainwashed, and everyone is shouting that they owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket."

Brother Huayi, Wang Zhonglei said worriedly.

How could Wang Zhongjun not know that the pre-sale of "The Mermaid" exceeded [-] million on the first day alone, and the word-of-mouth was good, but suddenly the phrase "We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket" became popular all over the Internet, and the more it spread, the more evil it became.

The pre-sales on the first day exceeded 6800 million, 6000 million for "Three Fighting Bones", and 1400 million for "Omen". Ten thousand.

Wang Zhongjun was also jealous, and he began to regret it.

If he hadn't been greedy for the 8000 million at the beginning, Hua Yi would definitely have a part in "The Mermaid", and what he got would be more than 8000 million!
But it's useless to regret, Wang Zhongjun can only say, "Where are the film schedules for "Mermaid", as long as the box office does not exceed 26 billion, our goal will be achieved."

Affected by several major companies, the film schedule of "Mermaid" is only 26%, but even so, it still occupies the highest film schedule on the first day.

After all, there are pre-sales and word-of-mouth screenings. Even if the directly-operated theaters of the major theaters are determined not to arrange films, the large number of franchised theaters will not let them lose money.

"Three Dozens of Bones" is about the same as "Omen", both at about 24%, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" only 13%, another new film "Nian Beast War" is 6%, "Kung Fu Panda 3" took 4 points, and the rest was shared by other movies.

Judging from the current situation, they are at a disadvantage in all aspects. The only consolation is that "The Mermaid" is not enough.

"By the way, Zhong Lei, what happened to the matter that I asked you to investigate? Hantang's "The Wandering Earth" is still in preparation, so you plan to make "Three-Body Problem" again?" Wang Zhongjun asked again.

As early as two months ago, there was news that China Film Group and Han Tang were preparing to develop the big IP of "Three-Body Problem" after "The Wandering Earth".

Wang Zhonglei nodded and said, "I probably didn't run away, but there is a strange thing, this project is also participated by Wenguang, and I heard that a big leader went to Wenguang to inspect two days ago, and paid special attention to this project. The boss will personally accompany you."

"What's going on?" Wang Zhongjun frowned.

"The big leader seems to be a fan of "Three-Body Problem". Some time ago, he held a symposium on popular science and science fiction to talk to Liu Cixin." Wang Zhonglei said.

After listening, Wang Zhongjun frowned even tighter.

In this way, this project has been favored by the top leaders, and it will definitely be given the green light by then.

But it's still early, and it won't be released so soon, so Wang Zhongjun didn't think too much about it.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is over soon, and the box office for the first day of the Spring Festival stalls is also freshly released.

"The Mermaid", which was worth 2.5 million pre-sales alone, undoubtedly won the box office champion of the day, with a box office of [-] million on the first day.

"Macao Wind and Cloud 3" followed closely with 1.7 million, "Three Fighting Bones" got 1.6 million, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" only 4000 million.

The single-day market reached 6.6 million, setting a new record.

The next day, after the explosion on the first day, the box office dropped slightly. "Mermaid" took in 2.2 million, "Three Great Bones" and "Omen 3" took in 1.3 million and 1.1 million respectively.

On the third day, the box office stabilized, with little difference compared to yesterday.

"The Mermaid" exceeded 7.1 million for three consecutive days, and the total box office for the three days reached [-] million, which put a lot of pressure on other companies.

If the trend of this seven-day long holiday is stable, and then the decline is normal again, there is great hope to break through 26 billion.

Several major companies discussed again to further reduce the ticket schedule of "Mermaid".

However, before they could take action, the United Cinemas and Daguangming Cinemas under the Moying Group increased the schedule of "Mermaid" without warning, and 70% of the screenings were scheduled for "Mermaid".

The giants who got the news were at a loss. Although the Moying Group did not participate, they and Huayi jointly established Kyushu Publishing. They should be on Huayi's side. Why did they suddenly rebel!

Several giants began to hear from multiple sources, and after summarizing the news from various sources, they probably understood the reason.

The Han and Tang Dynasties wanted to develop "The Three-Body Problem", so Wenguang was specifically brought in.

"The Three-Body Problem" has a senior book fan who is a great leader, and he was born in Shanghai, and his father was an official in Shanghai in his early years.

When the big leader went to Shanghai before, he stopped by Wenguang to inspect the work to understand the progress of "Three-Body Problem", and the boss of Shanghai accompanied him.

The Moying Group used to be a subsidiary of the Wenguang Group. Although it was independent and under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzheng Department of the Magic City, the influence of Wenguang is still there.

Not to mention that compared to Wenguang, which is so big, Moying Group is a younger brother, and Wenguang has a greater say in front of the Propaganda Department.

Maybe the leader didn't say anything, and he didn't mean anything else, but every move made by the top will be interpreted by the people below.

Lu Xun can pull out a lot with an exclamation point, let alone a big leader.

Coupled with the participation of the Wenguang Group, the former superiors of the Moying Group must have made great efforts.

But even if the reason is introduced, the major companies have nothing to do.

With the support of United Cinemas and Da Guangming Cinemas, the film schedule of "Mermaid" immediately rose to 3.5 points, and some franchised theaters of other theaters also increased their film schedule by nearly [-] points because of the high box office of "Mermaid".

On the fourth day, the film schedule of "The Mermaid" reached 32%, and the box office returned to 2.5 million, continuing to crush all the blockbusters in the Spring Festival.

"The Mermaid", which occupies the most number of films, earned a total of 17.4 billion during the seven-day long holiday. This result also broke the previous seven-day box office record in film history.

However, "Three Dozens of Bones" got 9.6 million in seven days, "Omen 3" got 8.5 million, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Qingming" had a bad reputation, and the film schedule continued to decline. The total box office in seven days was only 1.9 million.

Although "Three Dozens of Bones" and "Omen 3" are already certain to break the billion mark, but throughout the Spring Festival, there is no doubt that "The Mermaid" is the biggest winner, with a data of 17.4 billion in seven days, to put it bluntly It is no exaggeration to sweep the Spring Festival stalls!
