Early in the morning on Monday, December 20, Tang An rushed to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to attend the last GEM listing ceremony in 2010.
Today is also the day when the third domestic film and television media company is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, excluding Chengtian’s backdoor listing of Jiahe on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
After the successful listing of Huayi, domestic first-tier film and television companies have launched plans to go public. The fastest-moving company is Jiangzhe Huace Film and Television, which listed on the GEM on December 26 and became the first Chinese TV drama stock.
This film and television company, which is now mainly engaged in the production of TV series, also went public smoothly. The closing price reached 107 yuan, an increase of 58% from the opening price of 68 yuan, and the total market value reached 4.6 billion.
Huace has not created a large number of wealthy artists like Huayi. The only beneficiaries are its two gold medal screenwriters, Liu Heng and Zhou Jingzhi, who have become the top ten shareholders of Huace.
The most important thing for a TV series is the script, and a top screenwriter is the most important thing for a TV series production company.
Since it is the last batch of listed companies this year and there are quite a few companies, there are more than 10 companies, so it took a lot of time to complete a set of procedures.
Wang Changtian and Qin Hong rang the big bell, which also marked the listing of the third domestic film and television media company and the listing of the first theater chain company.
It was 8:50 in the morning, 10 minutes before the market opened, and everyone at the scene was staring at the huge LCD monitor on the stage.
The most nervous ones are of course the shareholders of these more than ten listed companies. When 9 o'clock comes, that momentary jump may determine hundreds of millions or even billions of capital.
Officially opens at 9 o'clock.
Guangxian's share price jumped directly from the issue price of 58.5 to 71 yuan, exceeding the issue price at the opening.
Although Star Cinema is not a film and television production and distribution company, its parent company has just produced and distributed "Edge of Tomorrow", which set a box office record for Chinese-language movies. In addition, the theater has physical assets, and its stock price has been soaring.
"Director Wang, Director Qin, congratulations on the successful listing."
"I would also like to thank Director Tang. Without you, these films would not have gone so smoothly," Wang Changtian almost burst out laughing. At this important moment, he couldn't restrain himself even if he wanted to.
"You're welcome, Director Wang. Without your help, the film would not have achieved its current results." Tang An waved his hand.
Next to Qin Hong, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to him smiled and said, "Dr. Tang is really young and promising. Our Xingmei Cinemas can successfully go public this time without your help."
"You're welcome, Mr. Qin. You were the leader in the media field back then. My achievements don't mean anything." Tang An said with a smile.
"It's a thing of the past, and I'm a loser." Tan Hui sighed.
Qin Hong's elder brother Qin Hui started from scratch and entered the media industry at the age of 33 to establish Xingmei Group.
Less than 35 years old, through a series of investments and acquisitions, a huge empire spanning the three major industries of communications, IT, and media was formed. It was also one of the leaders in China's cultural media industry at that time.
Moreover, he also expanded his territory overseas and acquired four listed companies in Hong Kong. It was the heyday of Qin Hui's media career, and his media career was forming a pattern that spanned domestic and overseas markets.
However, the step was too big, and the previous big steps foreshadowed the collapse.
The policy has also changed. In 2004, Optoelectronics issued a document allowing overseas assets to participate in TV program production, and the film and television production industry has become an open field.
His industrial chain suddenly broke due to the scarcity of resources. In addition, he was involved in the corruption case of the president of China Construction Bank that year. Under competition and squeeze, he quickly lost his advantage. Xingmei Media began to fall apart.
You must know that in 2003, the revenue of Xingmei Media reached more than 400 million, which was much higher than that of Huayi and Bernard.
StarMedia's various companies were split up, and those that were acquired were acquired. Communications company StarMedia United did not survive, and was later listed on a backdoor listing by Huanrui.
Of course, he also has an identity that is well-known to people across the country. In 1995, at the age of 27, he bought the then-ordinary song and dance hall "Heaven and Earth" and single-handedly built it into the best entertainment venue in Beijing.
Later, in 2005, due to the incident of Xingmei Media, it was sold again.
Qin Hong is now in charge of Xingmei Group. He plays in overseas capital markets and owns many listed companies.
An hour later, Guangxian's stock price had risen to more than 90 yuan, and its market value was infinitely close to 10 billion.
Its leading anchors, the "Three Treasures of Guangxian" Liu Yan, Xie Tan, Da Zuo, and other hosts also received shares worth millions.
Although it cannot be compared with Huayi, it is already very good for these young hosts.
Then Tang An attended the noon banquet, and some well-known local entrepreneurs in Shenzhen were also present.
Brother Tengxun Ma also came, looking elegant with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
After the banquet, Brother Ma invited Tang An to have tea.
"Congratulations to Mr. Tang for his movie being a hit at home and abroad. Mr. Tang has accomplished what many people have failed to do. I guess he will be among the top ten at the global box office this year."
"Dr. Ma, you're welcome. The top ten in the world have a box office of at least 500 million U.S. dollars. I would be very satisfied with 300 million." Tang An said quickly, lowering his attitude.
"300 million US dollars is also a record. Many Hollywood blockbusters cannot sell this figure. Director Tang has made a big step forward for our country's movies." Brother Ma sighed.
After some flattery and polite words, Tang An roughly knew what he was looking for.
The box office of a single film in the 18 days after its release was 180 million US dollars, and the mainland box office is about to exceed 1 billion yuan. The domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, and capital is starting to focus on it.
Brother Ma proposed to become a shareholder, and the resources of Tengxun Group were fully open to the Han and Tang Dynasties, but Tang An still declined.
After walking out of the room, Tang An still had an incredible feeling.
This is one of the three major gangsters on the Internet. Even if Tengxun is not as large as it was later, it is still a very large group with a market value of 40 to 50 billion US dollars.
However, Tang An is also self-aware, and he is able to talk to Brother Ma on an almost equal footing mainly because he values the potential of Han and Tang Media.
There are two major film directors in film and television production, four first-line stars in the artist management, the publicity resources are not weak, and theater chains are still being built. This high-quality company is a piece of meat for all venture capital institutions.
There are already many funds at home and abroad, and venture capital has contacted Tang An, so it is not surprising that he was chosen by Brother Ma.
After all, later on, companies of all sizes in the entertainment industry were controlled by BAT, either Teng Xun's son or Ah Li's grandson.
Tang An shook his head and didn't think so much for the time being. He should still have a few years to work hard to make money and complete the layout of all channels and the surrounding pan-entertainment industry, so as not to be regarded as a grandson by others.
In the afternoon, he had to rush to meet the crew to promote the movie, so Tang An left the hotel directly.
However, when I went downstairs, I happened to bump into Wu Jing and Xie Tan. They said hello and asked Wu Jing what he has been busy with recently.
"Director Tang, I have accepted a TV series now and am going to go to the army to train first." Wu Jing replied with a smile.
TV drama?
"Special Forces".
After filming "Special Forces", "Wolf Warrior" was released, and not even Tang An paid attention to it.
He remembered all these things, but there were too many things. If no one mentioned it, or if he thought about it deliberately, it would be easy to ignore it for a while.
It's like having this library in your head. You have to find the book to know what is written in it.
"Military drama? Your image is quite suitable. If you need investment, just come to me and promote the spirit of the Chinese people." Tang An said with a smile.
