Chapter 362 From a big director to a media tycoon! Month
"According to insiders of Poly Group, the merger and acquisition of Tang An Film and Television Production Studio, a subsidiary of the famous director Tang An, and Poly Culture Media, a subsidiary of Poly Group, are close to completion!"
"In one month, Tang An completed the perfect transformation from a great director to a media tycoon!"
"A small studio acquires a large group, involving an amount of 300 million. The largest merger and acquisition case of the year in the media industry has occurred!"
"It only took Tang An 5 years to go from a new director to a media tycoon, and another giant in the film and television industry was born!"
"Exclusively reveals Tang An's path to media tycoon..."
"The youngest media tycoon was born, Tang An is only 29 years old!"
...
Although it has not been officially announced, Tang An raised a large amount of cash, went to Poly Group many times, and brought a team of domestic first-class lawyers. Even a fool knows what Tang An wants to do.
Not only are the entertainment media following the report and trying every possible means to get accurate information from within Poly, but even the financial section is also following the report.
After all, the other party involved in the real estate giant Poly Group is a director, and it only has one studio under its umbrella.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as an ant swallowing an elephant or a snake swallowing a whale.
The media, which were originally reporting on some upcoming movies during the Lunar New Year holiday, started reporting on the news that Tang An was going to acquire companies such as Poly Culture, leaving the melon-eaters confused.
When I found out what happened and what kind of company this Poly Culture was, I realized that Tang An was so stupid that he jumped from director to big boss.
"Tang An is so awesome, are you going to start working alone?"
"It's great to be your own boss, why don't you keep working for others?"
"Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others are still helping others make money, but now Tang An has opened his own company."
"Now that I'm a boss, will I still make movies in the future?"
"Definitely, directing is his main job. If he doesn't make movies, then there will be one less movie to watch every year."
"Who knows for sure? Who will work when you have money? Filming is very tiring. Wouldn't it be better to find a few directors to help you make money?"
"I'll go. If that's the case, I still wish Tang An fails in starting a business, the company goes bankrupt, and he just makes movies honestly 23333~~~"
"The person upstairs is too selfish, but I think so too..."
...
On the second day after the merger was completed, Poly Group issued an announcement that it had officially sold all of its Poly Culture, Oriental Dragon, Qiansi Advertising and other companies to Tang'an Film and Television Studio.
This is considered a real deal, and the popularity of this matter has once again reached a new level.
China Film Group, Han Sanping received a call from Tang An and congratulated him before hanging up.
"It's amazing." Han Sanping sighed.
Lin Sheng in front of him asked in confusion, "Director Han, what's the matter with Tang An's call?"
Han Sanping shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just let me know. But from now on, I should call him Director Tang. Hantang Media Group, the name is well chosen."
Lin Sheng smiled bitterly, "It's only been a few years. He was so young when he came to me with "Shark Beach", and now he has acquired a media company."
In 5 years, going from a team leader in the distribution department to the position of director is not too slow, but in comparison, it is not impressive enough.
Lin Sheng thought for a while and asked, "So, Director Han, what are you going to do?"
"what to do?"
"Do nothing." Han Sanping said with a smile.
"Then do you think Tang An can succeed? Wang Zhongjun is probably very angry now."
"Tang An has chosen a good time. Guangxian has already submitted a listing application to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It will be listed in the second half of next year. Bernard is about the same. Yu Dong is still thinking about landing on Dasdaq. If it is one year earlier,
Maybe the three of them will join forces to deal with Tang An, and now Yu Dong and Wang Changtian must be focusing on going public, allowing Tang An to take advantage of the loophole."
The film industry is so big, and no one wants to share the cake among multiple people.
Especially for a director like Tang An, who has strong box office appeal, as long as he establishes a publicity and distribution channel in two or three years, it will be difficult to touch him, and he must be strangled in the cradle.
But Bernard and Guangxian are both going public now, and they must achieve good results. If they spend resources to deal with Tang An, the gains outweigh the losses.
You may even support Tang An in exchange for part of the investment and distribution rights to make your performance look better.
After all, it is not just a matter of hundreds of millions after listing. A film with a box office record in film history is enough to impress shareholders and investors and cause the stock price to rise significantly.
...
Office of the Chairman of Huayi Brothers Media Group.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off!"
"Crack!"
The phone was slammed on the table, but Tang An's call still couldn't be reached. Wang Zhongjun didn't know how many times he had called.
Lin Sheng was right. Wang Zhongjun was almost on the verge of rage. His fists were tightly clenched and the word "angry" was clearly written on his face.
Opposite Wang Zhonglei saw him like this and quickly advised him, "Brother, don't be angry. When he was filming "Chinese Partner" last year, didn't you suspect that he wanted to start a business?"
"And Tang An is not as old as Feng Xiaogang. You see, Binbin, Xiao Ming and the others are all going to open studios. How can Tang An stay in Huayi forever?"
Wang Zhongjun's anger subsided a little. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can this be the same? Now he has made it clear that he wants to come in and share a piece of the cake!"
Tang An's acquisition of a media company and the establishment of a studio are not of the same nature. Even if Feng Xiaogang wants to leave Huayi to set up an independent studio, Wang Zhongjun will not stop him.
Because even if he makes a movie, it still needs Huayi's investment, promotion, and distribution, not to mention distribution.
Now Tang An has made it clear that the entire industry chain will be involved. When it develops, it will be another Huayi, Bernard.
"Then why don't we make an appointment with Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and the others to discuss the response plan?" Wang Zhonglei suggested.
"It's useless. The two of them regard listing as the most important thing. If they want to encircle Tang An, it will definitely affect their performance next year." Wang Zhongjun shook his head.
Wang Zhongjun has been thinking about how to deal with it these days. Of course, he doesn't want to just watch Tang An become bigger.
The best way is to snipe all the movies he invests in next year. Tang An definitely doesn't have much money now. As long as the movie fails next year, a company with hundreds of people will quickly bring him down.
It is very difficult for Huayi alone to snipe Tang An's movie in terms of promotion, schedule, and film arrangement. It is almost impossible without the help of others.
Wang Zhongjun sighed and said helplessly, "Forget it, Tang An has also made a lot of contributions to Huayi in the past few years. Since he can't be killed, there is no need to waste his efforts. Let's wait until he comes. He must be short of funds now.
Let’s see if he is willing to accept our capital injection.”
