Chapter 855 Envy
Just as the entertainment industry was speculating about how much the important members of the Hantang family could benefit from after Hantang Films went public, Hantang Films also released a prospectus a week before the listing.

As the biggest giant in the entertainment industry, the listing of Hantang Pictures is definitely one of the most important events in the industry this year.

Hantang Media, Hantang Films, the top executives of the two major groups, as well as important actors and directors of the Hantang family, have been asked about this matter quite often.

When the prospectus was announced, most of the industry's attention turned to the tens of pages of the prospectus.

Hantang Film Group has a total share capital of 8.25 million shares, 8250 million shares are listed and issued at an issue price of 56 yuan per share, and it is expected to raise funds of 46 billion.

After a round of financing before the IPO, a private placement, and a public offering of 8250 million shares, Hantang Media Group still holds 67.4% of the shares of Hantang Film Group.

What people in the circle are most concerned about, how much benefits the actors and directors of the Han and Tang dynasties have received, is also announced to the public.

The four most important directors of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Wu Jing, all received 700 million shares.

700 million shares, even if calculated according to the issue price, there are 3.9 million yuan.

However, judging from the current market of film and television stocks, as well as Hantang itself, the daily limit on the first day of listing is a certainty, and the only question is how many consecutive daily limit can be reached.

The 3.9 million in real gold and platinum, the companies in the film and television industry whose annual net profit can exceed this figure can be counted on one hand, and it was so easily obtained by four directors.

Tang An's generosity was beyond everyone's expectations. Forget about Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng, they both have two movies with a box office of one billion in their hands. Among the many domestic directors, except for Tang An, none can surpass them.

In the past two years, I don’t know how many companies have contacted them and are willing to pay liquidated damages and give shares. It can be said that as long as they nod, a few big companies will give it to them without hesitation if they gamble 10 billion like Zhou Xingchi.

Although Ning Hao only has one billion-level movie, he has been favored by the circle since "Crazy Stone", and won a billion box office with his non-sequel movies.

Wu Jing was able to get the same shares, which surprised everyone, after all, he only directed two movies.

Not to mention "Spike Fang", although "Wolf Warrior" sold [-] million, but there is still a gap with Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, and Ning Hao.

A newcomer in the director industry, even in the eyes of many directors, Wu Jing is an amateur, who has no other skills to fool the audience with a few catchphrases.

Just such an amateur director became a billionaire in an instant, and even once Hantang Films hit eight consecutive daily limit, he could become a billionaire.

One billion, there are not many people in the entire industry with a net worth of one billion.

All over the country, some well-known directors were envious and jealous.

Feng Xiaogang, who is filming the new film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" in Hebei Chengde, also read the prospectus issued by Hantang Films.

This morning, Feng Xiaogang was in no mood for filming.

I have worked so hard for so many years, but I haven't saved much money. I bought a cheaper private jet and I am reluctant to fly it. I can't fly a few times a year. That is, I signed a gambling agreement with Huayi to get less than ten dollars. billions.

Fortunately, Wu Ershan and the others don't have to bet against each other, and the shares will be worth one billion in a short time.

Although it is not so easy to achieve eight consecutive daily limit, Hantang Films may not be unable to do it.

Forget about Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng, the real achievements are there, and Ning Hao's ability is obvious to all, but one Wu Jing can get so much.

Although Feng Xiaogang definitely couldn't get it, he was just jealous, and couldn't help being jealous.

After absent-mindedly finishing the filming all morning, and having dinner with screenwriter Liu Zhenyu and several leading actors at noon, everyone couldn't help talking about this matter, and the tone was more or less envious.

Several major companies have been listed, and it will be difficult to get such a sum of money. We can only focus on those second-tier companies.

Fan Binbin and Zhao Wei bought shares of Tang De back then, and earned tens of millions. Today, when VS gambling is prevalent, Fan Binbin also wanted to make a fortune, so he reached an acquisition case with Tang De, and bought Amy Shenying at a price of 4.5 million. Sell ​​51% of the shares in the industry to Tang De, and then sign an exclusive agency contract with Amy God, which is tantamount to binding with Tang De.

Selling himself to Tang Decai in exchange for 4.5 million, I was so excited before, but now I see that Wu Jing and Xu Zheng may get [-] billion stocks, and I am jealous.

Liu Zhenyun took it seriously. He smiled at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Seven years ago, you took more than 2 million shares of Huayi. The [-] million at that time is not much less than the one billion now."

"It's more than a billion!"

Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Don't forget there is Forbidden City Media, the four of them each have 10% of the shares, this company will participate in each of their films, and it is estimated that it will have to go public in two years, even if it only has a market value of 100 billion, a Another billion people."

This Tang An also spent a lot of money to help them. Feng Xiaogang even thought for a moment that if he had left Huayi back then and started a company with Tang An, half of Tang An's net worth should now be his own.

But it was just a momentary thought. Back then, he wished Tang An would leave quickly. After all, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, leaving Tang An would make Feng Xiaogang's position in Huayi even more stable.

And Fan Binbin was even more envious when he heard another billion.

But Tang An values ​​Wu Jing so much, so it is estimated that the prospect of "Wolf Warrior 2" will not be bad.

The Navy's "Operation Red Sea" is a big hit, and the Army's "Wolf Warrior" series is a big hit. When the time comes, the Air Force-themed movie "Space Hunting" they invested in and shot will take advantage of this wind to sell a billion box office.

Before the movie is released, let’s hype the marriage of the two. As the male and female protagonists, the meaning of the movie has been deepened, and it is another gimmick.

At the recording site of the new season of Running Man, several actors were also discussing.

Running Man is a variety show co-operated by Huayi, Hantang, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV. After several seasons, there are stars from Huayi and Hantang, and they get along fairly well.

The stars of the Han and Tang dynasties came and went, from Deng Chao to Xiaodi, and then to Nana, they changed a few waves, and these people under Huayi are still there.

After signing the VAM, Deng Kai and Chen He had to think carefully if they wanted to withdraw, and Li Chen and Yang Ying, who had just signed VAM, also joined in.

As soon as they came in the morning, they caught Nana and asked her why she didn't take the shares, and asked about Hantang's internal affairs.

During this period of time, Nana has been asked how many shares her boss Deng Chao has taken. Now that it is announced, she is asking herself again.

"Why can't my mother get the shares? When I voluntarily quit the running man, I will be eligible!" Nana really wanted to yell out what was in her heart. If it's taken up, he can only pretend to be cute every day, and become the target of being teased in various games and activities. If he didn't need this show, he would have quit a long time ago.

However, when faced with questioning, he could only repeatedly say that he was still young and had insufficient qualifications.

There was no inside story to ask, and no one asked any more.

But envy is inevitable. Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan all got 400 million shares. Among the few actors who got the least, Wang Kai got 80 shares.

80 shares is also 4500 million, and after a daily limit, it will be 6000 million.

As for the few of them, seven or eight of them gambled against Hua Yi, and the total amount was only [-] million, with an average of less than [-] million each.

Others are just envious and envious, after all, they have no chance at all.

However, Deng Kai was named by Tang Anzhong to star in "You Now You See Me" in the lecture theater of the Film Academy, but he failed to get closer to Tang An. When Tang An left, he took Zhou Shiwei and Deng Chao with him. Zhao Liying and Wang Kai were taken away, but not herself.

Although he knew that when he made his debut with "Shocking Devil Dao Group", he had a very high starting point and was trained by Huayi, so Zhou Shiwei couldn't take him with him, but Deng Kai still felt a pity in his heart.

Now he is desperately taking on the show for less than [-] million bets, and Deng Chao no longer looks down on Running Man. Nana was stuffed in, the smallest one ever on the show.

Zhou Xingchi, who is far away in Hong Kong, is also paying attention to the news of the mainland film industry, and he can't help but sigh when he learns that the shares that Wu Ershan and the others will get may be worth one billion in the future.

I couldn't resist the temptation of the new culture, and took a 13 billion bet against each other. I had to guarantee five years of performance, or I would have to pay extra.

And the few of them have no risk at all, they can only sell for money as soon as the ban is lifted.

The "Mermaid", which just sold 35 billion, also made a wedding dress for Tang An, with a guarantee of 26 billion and sold 35 billion at the box office.

Han and Tang paid 8 million guarantee fees and 26 million publicity fees, and got all of the 9 billion and 80% of the next 14.3 million, a total of [-] billion.

14.3 billion, minus the guarantee fee and publicity fee, also earned 5.3 million, and many producers got 8 million guarantee fee minus 3 million costs, which is only [-] million in theory.

Originally thought that he had picked up a big deal, but Tang An took half of the profit.

The [-] million theory of the producer was not taken away by Zhou Xingci alone. It means that he has been busy for a few years. He just worked for the capital and they released it. The money he earned was three or four times more busy than himself. more than a year.

Zhou Xingchi was very upset, just like he was scammed by Huayi for 8000 million. Although he was scammed at that time, Tang An didn't cheat him this time, but his own money flew into other people's pockets.

He doesn't like this, it seems like he's back in the 90s, he worked hard, but Xiang Huaqiang made the biggest profit.

After "The Mermaid" sold 35 billion yuan, "Journey to the West" which he collaborated with Xu Ke has also become a huge cake, and any company wants to release it.

"The Mermaid" made Tang An cheaper. Zhou Xingchi didn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time. The outside guarantee had reached 20 billion, but he still refused without hesitation.

A week after the announcement of the prospectus, the day when Hantang Film Group goes public is approaching.

The day before the listing, Tang An stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel near the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and most of the entertainment industry gathered near the Shanghai Stock Exchange again.

Wu Wen, CEO of Hantang Literature in the hotel, reported to Tang An some major events after the company's listing.

Hantang Literature gradually stabilized after the first few days of listing, and other shareholders of the company began to propose a large number of copyright transfers to stimulate the market.

"no!"

After listening to the report, Tang An immediately vetoed it.

"You can't do things like killing chickens to get soft. Selling a large number of first-line big IPs can really stimulate the stock price, and we can all make a fortune from it. But once these IPs are made into bad movies after a year or two, the losses caused will be huge." If it gets bigger, it will even affect the value of future online novel IP.”

In the past two years, Tang An has been controlling the progress of the film and television production of online texts. First-line IP has certain requirements for producers, and those film and television production companies with average production capabilities can't buy copyright even if they have money.

Although these well-known writers will be blocked from making money, Han and Tang Literature also issued some shares to them before going public, ranging from 0.01% to 0.1%.

As for the second and third tier IP, it is much more relaxed.

Even if these IPs pounced on ten titles, the consequences would not be as serious as those brought about by fighting against a horse.

If it explodes, it will also be good for the industry.

Restricting the sale of IP is not only for the web industry, but also for the film and television industry.

Now Xiaoxianrou has become the mainstream of the Internet, and it will only get worse in the future.

If this large amount of fresh meat wants to enter the mainstream entertainment industry, it must pass through film and television dramas.

It is impossible for first-line traffic to start from a small supporting role and become the protagonist step by step. In that case, it would not be traffic.

Moreover, the cycle of traffic is short, and it is very rare to be popular for two or three years. The brokerage company and themselves can't wait.

For film and television dramas to sell well, they usually need to have the same three things: famous actors, famous directors, and IP.

Although traffic is famous, it is different from famous actors. Famous directors generally have relatively more authority, and the possibility of using traffic is low.

The best way is to participate in a big IP, even if it is an amateur, or an idol who has just made his debut, as long as he starred in a big IP like "Dou Po", his popularity in a short period of time can even overwhelm any star.

In the future, each of these idols will officially enter the film and television industry with IP-adapted film and television dramas. One after another, the hot-eyed TV dramas pollute the audience's attention.

The coming of the traffic era is inevitable, and Tang An can't stop it, but he can take a shortcut from the traffic to the film and television industry, which is somewhat useful.

It is impossible for the companies behind these traffics to win first-tier big IPs, and the second- and third-tier IPs are free. After all, authors also have to eat, and it is impossible not to let others sell copyrights.

Second-tier and third-line IP shoots will be smashed. If they can become popular, it is a skill. If you don’t rely on IP to become popular, at least the plot and actors are good, and the traffic that can act well is also a good actor.

Wu Wen also agrees with Tang An's words. He is not a group of capitalists, he is really thinking about this industry.

But he also mentioned a special case, "Tang Dong, people from Penguin Films came here a while ago and wanted to buy a big IP. It was for Chen Kai's son. Do you think so?"

It's fine for others, but Chen Kai is a famous director in the film industry after all, so Wu Wen still let Tang An make up his mind.

"Brother Chen Kai, his son?"

Tang An said with a smile, "Isn't he the director himself, his son won't praise himself."
