The schedule is very quiet, but the industry is very lively. Starting from March, Huayi announced that it would enter the international market and carry out "international strategic layout". Yesterday, it announced that it was negotiating with Hollywood Studio 8 and intends to form an investment entity with other investors, and plans to invest in the production company founded by former Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinoff for US$120 million to 150 million.

This is the most high-profile publicity Wang Zhonglei has carried out since last year's proposal that Huayi should "de-single movies".

Huayi finally proposed "de-filmization". Wang Zhongjun's explanation for this is: "De-filmization is not about not making movies, but about not making movies. Huayi Brothers will carry out full-industry layout, real-life entertainment, theme parks, etc. in the future, which are all our development goals."

"De-filmization is the company's core business, because Huayi started out with movies. However, I think it is definitely not enough to make movies. I understand movie products, and movie products are really not as good as you can control them. Just say that you will sell well after you finish shooting! For example, if you want to shoot five movies this year, you can shoot five movies. First, the director's preparation is a completely art creation. If you don't have a good script, you dare not start the movie. Once you don't dare to start the movie, there will be no movie next year. For example, Tsui Hark wants to shoot this year, but everyone is not satisfied with the script. How can you enter it next year?

"Suppose Feng Xiaogang, you are looking forward to a movie this year, but Xiaogang is also very anxious, but he just doesn't have a mature story or a mature thing, he just needs a gap!"

Wang Zhongjun continued: "This is why we need to de-movie production. We must find ways to find our great culture and entertainment outside of the movie. I think Huayi is not the Huayi brothers if it doesn't make movies, but Huayi brothers only make movies, let alone Huayi brothers!

"In the past 16 years since Huayi was established, we have become the box office champion. We have a director who has been unbeaten in filming more than a dozen movies, which is almost not in the world. Moreover, Huayi Brothers has the best performance and accounts for 14% of the country's share, which exceeds Disney's share in the United States!"

The Wang brothers obviously benchmarked Huayi against Disney.

There is no film production company in the world that doesn't want to make Disney, but there is only one Disney in the world.

At least in China, the Disney model cannot be achieved.

Culture serves politics, and the Disney model cannot survive in the domestic political environment.

In a sense, Huayi’s “de-filmization” makes sense.

The domestic market is now being divided too seriously. Hollywood is nearly half of it. Several major domestic film merchants are fighting in chaos. There are only a few people who can go to theaters every year. After spreading it equally, how many can each company get?

Can big hits like "Journey to the West" and "Lost in Thailand" be available every year?

The domestic market is indeed growing every year, but the Wang brothers do not think the market will be big enough to feed Huayi.

How much can a box office champion get? 1 billion or 2 billion every year? How much can I still be left after being assigned to the producer?

They don’t think there are 300 billion people in the domestic market who do the Internet.

So we still have to take Huayi to transform early. Of course, we have to do movies, but we still have to make some investments. We also need to do movie towns, and live entertainment and amusement parks must also keep up with them. Cinemas are heavy assets and can maintain Huayi’s current scale.

There is also an online ticketing website that must be laid out, and online ticket sales can directly expand their issuance.

So in the past six months, Huayi has made many moves, issuing bonds, raising funds, cashing out, and then investing everywhere with money waving.

Huayi, known as Little Wanda.

Many people in the industry are actually optimistic about Huayi's operations.

It is said to be "de-movieization", but looking at Huayi's investment in the past six months, investing in Hollywood studios and movies, holding online ticketing websites and selling websites...

In fact, it is still focusing on the film and television entertainment sector, and the industry interprets it as Huayi Learning Remote, trying to "open up the entire industrial chain."

Huayi has been the leader of the Chinese film and television industry for more than ten years. Although it has been remotely pulled down in the past three to five years, its foundation is still there. The industry is very optimistic about Huayi's entire industrial chain layout.

But Cheng Yuan knew that this was not the case. He said at the meeting: "Huayi certainly chose to start from the entertainment sector that he is most familiar with. On the one hand, it can stabilize shareholders and the secondary market, and on the other hand, it also leaves a way out for himself. The two brothers want to build Huayi into an investment company and operate capitalized."

"I want to take the capital to go overseas and make a fortune."

Cheng Yuan shut up when he said this. Everyone here is a human spirit and understands the meaning behind this sentence.

I went overseas with the money I earned in China. Those who know you said you are going to make a fortune, and those who don’t know you think you want to transfer assets!

Money is going around overseas, and you come back and say that the investment has failed, who will the shareholders ask for money?

But in the past two years, domestic film and television companies have been encouraged to go overseas, saying that they want to "tell Chinese stories to the world."

Encourage content and capital to go overseas, and encourage domestic companies and production companies to join forces.

Of course, Remote also invests in other film and television, but film and television has always been the core of all Remote’s business. All investments made by Remote are to provide blood to its own film and television sector.

This is called not forgetting the original intention.

After the meeting at the company, Cheng Yu'an went home to rest first and then returned to Hengdian tomorrow.

Liu Yifei is not at home.

The key is that Cheng Yuan doesn’t know where his wife has gone.

"Hey, where are you? There is no one at home."

"Are you back? I'm in Miyun."

"Why are you going to run?"

"Make a show. The first episode of "Longing for Life" Season 1."

Cheng Yuan forgot about this show, a variety show jointly created by Tudou and Mango TV.

Focus on slow-practical pastoral life.

"Aren't you not participating in the variety show? Why did you go to Miyun to play happily?" Liu Yifei was still not changed by Cheng Yu'an in some aspects. She was still idly idly and was too lazy to be surprised. Except for the new drama to be released and to promote variety shows, she usually does not appear on variety shows at all.

"I saw this show that was quite fun, so I called Shi Shi to come together." Liu Yifei's two younger sisters, Reba and Nazha, one was filming "The Dragon Search" and the other was filming "Flowers and Boys" in Italy. Shi Shi happened to come back a few days ago, and she took her to the suburbs again.

What Cheng Yuan didn't know was that the phone call he and Liu Yifei were recorded by the program team throughout the whole process.

In addition to He Jiong and Huang Sanshi, the host of Tudou's homemade "A Life" also added a female host Cao Ying.

Liu Yifei hung up the phone, and Cao Ying smiled and said, "Is he like this in normal times? If you can't see you, call you? If you do this in our business, it's normal to not be at home for a long time."

Liu Yifei smiled: "He knew that I had no new job recently, and I didn't tell him where to go when I was not at home. I usually call and ask, just know where to go."

The five people chatted a lot at the Mushroom House. The first episode of the first season was very pure and had no publicity. The five people chatted while working and eating at the Mushroom House.

"Your show is very good, you are relaxed and comfortable." Liu Yifei praised while the five of them were having a meal.

As the group chatted, they naturally talked about Cheng Yuan who was not present.

Huang Sanshi was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he asked Liu Yifei: "Who is in your family usually in charge of the money?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "We don't care. We have an investment management company. In addition to the necessary living expenses at home, the money is in the hands of the investment and financial consultant."

The company is called Yi'an Investment Management Co., Ltd., and it belongs to the private property of the two.

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei remembered something fun: "The night after we got the certificate and returned to Beijing, he pushed all his bank cards, credit cards, passbooks, stocks, funds, and some fixed assets in front of me in a mess and said I wanted me to take care of the money. I was almost scared to death."

"I said I don't have that brain. My mother used to take care of my own money, so I can't take care of it. I also want to give him my money and let him take care of it."

Liu Shishi interrupted and said, "Do you know how much money he has?"

Liu Yifei shook her head: "I don't know."

"Last year Forbes said his net worth was over 40 billion," He Jiong added.

"I don't know how much money he has, and he doesn't know. He will still calculate it in the first few years, but I've been too lazy to forget it in the past two years. The outside world says it's as much as it is." The young lady continued to say that the family is in charge of money. "He has a financial management concept, but he doesn't have time to do this, so he simply set up a financial management company, and our personal money is all in it."
