What kind of company is Starry Sky Director Studio?
The first private film and television company in Mainland China!
Don't look at Huayi's successful listing in 2009, and its market value once reached tens of billions.
But Starry Sky Director Studio still firmly occupies the throne of the number one private film and television company in the mainland.
There is no way, even if Huayi goes public and raises a huge amount of ammunition, compared with the output of film and television dramas, it is still not enough.
By the way, the investment circle is quite optimistic about Star Director Studio.
Previously, many investment institutions hoped to invest in Star Director Studio and help the director studio go public smoothly.
Not to mention anything else, according to the estimated market value of over 100 billion, it is safe to say that it is gone.
How many companies with a market capitalization of 100 billion are there in China?
Not to mention, it is an asset-light company in the film and television entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, Wu Dong was completely indifferent to this.
A director's studio executive suggested it secretly, but he just replied lightly: "Am I short of money?"
Of course, he has no intention of stopping his senior executives from making money.
Under the Star Director Studio, there is also a special film and television investment fund that specializes in the film and television creation of scripts that are not required by the director studio.
For example, a youth campus movie imitating the popular "The Wind Rises".
Starry Sky Director Studio will not make it again, or Wu Dong thinks it will be a work that can make the audience feel sincerity.
But it has to be said that the market for campus youth films is not small, and the demand is also huge.
When I was filming "The Wind Rises," I also wrote several other scripts, but the last few scripts were shelved.
When the film and television investment fund was established, we immediately started filming those youth campus movies.
One of them has been released, and although the box office has not exceeded 100 million, it is still a pretty good result, at least for the amount of investment.
There are many films like this that are about to be filmed.
I believe that if momentum builds up in a few years, and the film and television investment fund is separated and listed, it will definitely not be worse than Huayi.
As the leader of private film and television companies, the relationship between Star Director Studio and the Film Bureau is naturally quite good.
Films submitted for review by director studios are rarely rejected.
Not only because the films shot by Starry Sky Director Studio rarely have sensitive themes or problematic content, but it is also due to the reputation of the director studio itself.
Of course, if it is a film that we know cannot pass the censorship, Star Director Studio will not shoot it at all. If you really can’t bear to part with it, then just change to another vest.
This time, the second season of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" was suddenly blocked. Obviously the situation is not that simple, and there must be something behind the scenes.
Sure enough, the results of some inquiries made him dumbfounded.
Someone wanted to intimidate him, but they didn't go too far, that is, they just made him feel disgusted.
The fact that the second season of "The Romance of Dragons and Snakes" is blocked is not a big trouble. As long as he goes to the capital in person, it will be unblocked easily.
Some people just want him to know that there are many ways to prevent Wu Dong from succeeding.
A typical example of success and failure!
Wu Dong didn't think anything of it, he didn't think he was disgusted, and it wouldn't be a big deal to go to the capital.
If he is a small character, I am really worried that some people will wait for him.
But now, he is not only the leading helmsman in the film and television industry, but also the most dazzling high-tech company CEO, and has caught the attention of the top people.
Just based on those two identities, it is not something that ordinary people can calculate.
Of course, it is true that some people and some forces want him to know how powerful he is.
The Beijing circle in the film and television industry was very unhappy with him.
Originally, Beijing was the absolute center of the cultural, film and television field. Before the Internet giants entered the scene, Beijing was definitely the top force in the film and television industry.
Ordinary actors want to become famous and enter the first-line ranks. Unless they get help from top resources in other circles, entering the Beijing circle is the most convenient and fastest way.
If you look at so many Chinese entertainment novels, you will know that most of the headquarters are set up in the capital.
But the emergence of Starry Sky Director Studio has broken the originally stable power structure in the film and television industry.
Zhongzhou Province has no close ties with any of the previous eight major state-owned film studios, and it belongs to a remote area in the film and television industry.
However, the strong rise of Xingkong Director Studio has led to the rapid expansion of Zhongzhou Province’s film and television territory.
The output of Starry Sky Director Studio alone is quite astonishing.
At this time, Datang Film and Television, which belongs to the strategic alliance of director studios, has been filming several high-quality TV series for several consecutive years and has gained momentum.
Seeing the signs, many film and television studios were also established in the provincial capital and began to cooperate with the Star Director Studio to shoot film and television dramas.
It can be said that Zhongzhou Province at this time is definitely considered a powerhouse in the film and television industry.
The number of film and television dramas shot in a year may be lower than that of a certain store in the south and the capital, but the quality definitely surpasses those two places.
In addition, many Zhongzhou film and television companies are also learning to imitate the Starry Sky Director Studio. They are not limited to praising their actors, but mainly focus on suitable roles.
Such a situation naturally arouses considerable dissatisfaction among certain forces and entities.
In such a situation, it can be said that both the right to speak and the territory of power have been affected, so it is strange to be happy.
In addition, some big names in the capital's technology circle are also very unkind to Star Group.
With the advent of tablet computers, how much of the spotlight has it occupied?
Although, Star Group’s tablet computer was the first to be developed and was jokingly called a prefabricated product by knowledgeable people in the technology circle.
But even if it's an assembled product, it can't hide the fact that Star Group's tablet computer is the first in the world.
The number one spot is the number one spot. There is nothing to say. Even the foreign media were embarrassed to praise Apple, which later followed up urgently.
The taste of the soup is naturally extremely delicious.
Even if Star Group soon won't be able to occupy the top three positions domestically and internationally in terms of tablet computer sales, Star Group is still very famous.
What dissatisfied some people the most is that Star Group directly opened up the production technology and specifications of tablet computers without even saying hello.
Although companies owned by some people took advantage extremely quickly, and even snatched the largest share of domestic tablet computer sales at one time, they were still not very satisfied with the results.
Foreign adults are dissatisfied, and they themselves have a considerable advantage and want to monopolize the domestic tablet market.
The behavior of the Starry Sky Group ruined their good plans and naturally caused dissatisfaction.
Wu Dong may know this, or he may not know it, and he won't care at all.
I made a trip to the capital to satisfy some people’s bad tastes, and sure enough, the relevant agencies granted permission for the online screening of the second season of “The Legend of Dragon and Snake.”
To be honest, with the size of Star Group, whether the online drama "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" can be broadcast will not affect Wu Dong at all.
If someone wants to hold on to the broadcast rights of "The Legend of Dragon and Snake" and use Star Director Studio in exchange for certain benefits, he will give up the project of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" without mercy.
Either wait until foreign film and television websites have developed to a certain level, and then simply screen them on foreign film and television websites.
However, the popular online drama "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" relies on some of Wu Dong's ideas. If it can be screened normally, Wu Dong's errands will be nothing.
Obviously, the person who wanted to bully him also understood the reason and had no intention of continuing to pester him.
While Wu Dong was working on the web drama "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", the other films shot by Star Director Studio were still released normally and achieved quite good results.
The first thing that stood out was the comedy film adapted from the sketches of Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Shimao, which received rave reviews as soon as it was released.
There is no doubt about the ability of the first-generation king of sketches, and the film adaptation is also quite exquisite, combining "making a movie" and "protagonist and supporting role" very well.
Another trilogy series, the first film "Making a Movie" grossed more than 200 million in box office during the off-season of February and March, shocking the entire film and television industry.
If it is placed during the Spring Festival and coupled with effective publicity, it is not impossible to hit a box office of 300 million.
Starry Sky Director Studio, on the other hand, is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai without any influence from the outside world!
"Making a Movie" is just the appetizer, and the later "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" and "Add a Long Shot" are the real drama.
2010 was another year when domestic movie box office exploded. Both "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of over 600 million.
Based on the classicness of the sketch "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", as long as the script does not collapse, the actors perform well, and the publicity is strong, I am afraid that I can enter the 600 million club.
In fact, as a comedy, it might have higher box office results.
After all, just two years later, "囧囧"'s box office revenue reached an astonishing 1.2 billion.
In terms of quality and classicness, how can "Lost in Thailand" compare to the big movie that evolved from "Protagonist and Supporting Actor"?
What is a leader in the film and television industry?
Star Director Studio has opened up a new type of film. The comedy film adapted from the classic sketch has been successful, and naturally there are many followers.
Among them is the film investment fund affiliated with the director's studio.
Thanks to Wu Dong's casual advice, the film investment fund has already acquired several other classic sketches with potential for adaptation.
For example, "The Supernatural Guerrilla" and classics such as "Decoration".
Of course, if you want your adaptation to do well, you also have to look at the quality of the script.
But just like that, Osmanthus TV station stopped tossing, and various entertainment programs were filled with news from the Star Director Studio, which made some people and certain forces feel helpless.
Not only is the film and television industry shining brightly, it is also closely related to the sports industry, and the teams led by Star Group are also performing extremely well.
With this attitude, Xingkong Group is very likely to become the undisputed hegemon in the cultural and sports world. Who can tell them that their achievements are dazzling...
