Chapter 478 The starting point of the Chinese website!
In the evening, at a hotel in Yinchuan City, Tang An invited several actors who had finished filming to have a meal.
"Binbin, Brother Wu, "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" will be released soon, right?"
We were chatting casually at the dinner table. There were many investors in "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes", led by Wendy Deng and Fox Searchlight. In addition to the domestic Huayi Brothers and Moying Group, there were also investments from SoftBank and IDG Capital.
The title of Murdoch's wife is still very valuable, and it is easy to find an investment of hundreds of millions.
Just like the son of the richest man, making money couldn't be easier for him.
With a cost of 500 million, they made a profit of 6.3 billion in two to three years.
This has also led many people to joke, "It's so difficult to start a business. It's better to ask your parents for hundreds of millions to start a business."
Of course, people are also capable. Relationships are one thing, but you still have to have abilities.
"It's June 25th in China and July 24th in North America. Director Tang should come over when he's free." Li Binbin said with a smile.
"Of course, "The Martian" was also finished filming at that time, and I happened to have time."
Tang An continued, "First of all, I congratulate Binbin and Brother Wu for going abroad, and even Wolverine came to act as a supporting actor."
Jiang Wu waved his hands repeatedly, "As the male lead, I am just a supporting character. The real protagonists are Bin Bin and Quan Zixian."
Li Binbin also said, "Hugh Jackman is just Ms. Deng who came in for three or four scenes."
"No matter what, as this movie is distributed by Fox, it will definitely make it to mainstream theaters. The rest depends on the audience."
This is Li Binbin's first movie after meeting Wendy Deng. It also has Hugh Jackman as a guest star. The script is also selected from an English book published by a Chinese writer.
It was supposed to have a good box office success both domestically and overseas, but it failed miserably at the box office.
However, this film was sent to Cannes for exhibition, and it seems that the copyright has been sold.
"How did it go when you went to Cannes a few days ago? Did a film company buy the rights?" Tang An asked after thinking about it.
There is nothing to hide about this, Li Binbin said truthfully, "It has been sold to Nadiya, and most of the cost has been recovered. The other party is more optimistic about female-themed movies, and they bought the overseas copyright of "Black Swan" last year."
He must have been tricked to death, and he would have to spit out half of the money he made on "Black Swan".
Tomorrow Tang An still has a movie to shoot, and the dinner didn't last long. He told Wang Kai to shoot well the next "Why Sheng Xiao Silence", and Yang Mi's "Detective Chinatown".
Then we continued shooting, and now there were only more than a hundred people from the crew left in the entire studio, as well as the actor Liu Ye.
It was a boring and boring shooting time. At the end of May, Tang An was invited by Pang Hong to attend the "Online Games and Film and Television Seminar" in Yinchuan City.
In the afternoon, I finished work an hour early and rushed to the hotel.
"Mr. Pang, why do you want to hold this seminar?"
Tang An learned about this conference in the past two days. It was a conference led by Pang Hong, Shengda, and dmg Media Group.
There are several large advertising companies, film and television companies and game companies participating.
Shengda Network CEO Chen Danian, Ninetowns Vice President Liu Guoding, Bernard Coo Chen Yongxiong, and Guangxian Executive Vice President Li Xiaoping all came.
Pang Hong came up and said with a smile, "Director Tang is here. Isn't this the previous cooperation between Shengda and the "Painted Skin" online game? Mr. Chen and I discussed it and found other companies, so we got together to discuss the matter.
The feasibility of film and television adaptation of games.”
"This is a good thing. If it is possible to adapt movies and TV shows to online games, our movies will have another profit channel." Tang An nodded.
Only then did Tang An remember that Pang Hong had another identity, the CEO of Qilin Film and Television, a subsidiary of Qilin.com. Qilin.com also made games, so it was not surprising that he could take the lead.
Entering the large conference hall, Chen Yongxiong and Li Xiaoping arrived, and Tang An also stepped forward to say hello.
"You two are here too. How are Yu Dong and Wang Dong now?"
"Hello, Mr. Tang."
Chen Yongxiong said, "Previously, Yu Dong specifically asked me to come and see Tang Dong after I arrived."
Li Xiaoping also laughed and said, "Since Director Tang announced that "Searching for the Dragon" will be scheduled for National Day, we, Director Wang, have been worried."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't make it in time for the summer schedule, and the Lunar New Year schedule is too crowded, so we can only make it during the National Day schedule."
Tang An smiled apologetically, "I'll tell Director Wang when I get back. Can our two families cooperate? The National Day schedule can fully accommodate two blockbusters."
Li Xiaoping said quickly, "Director Tang is being polite. Director Wang has no intention of complaining to you. Mr. Zhang from the distribution department complained before, but he was reprimanded by Director Wang."
After all, the traffic of the National Day stalls is not as good as the Lunar New Year stalls and summer stalls, and even worse than the Spring Festival stalls.
After all, people generally don’t travel during the Spring Festival, and families often watch movies together. It’s possible that one person in the family likes a certain movie and drags the whole family to watch it together.
However, the National Day Golden Week is still the peak tourist season. For the movie market, the traffic is slightly worse than the Spring Festival period.
Ever since "Painted Skin" came out and opened up the National Day schedule, there has been at least one blockbuster movie every year during this period, and last year it was "Detective Dee: The Great Empire."
Two blockbusters are already the limit. Now that three blockbusters, "Painting on the Wall", "The Legend of White Snake" and "The Secret of the Dragon" are squeezed together, it will inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation for all three.
With Guangxian's publicity capabilities, if the quality of "The Legend of White Snake" is average, there won't be much problem in handling it, and even Jet Li won't have anything to worry about.
But with the addition of "Searching for the Dragon", it's hard to say. Li Xiaoping also wanted to talk to Tang An about the cooperation between the two parties when he came this time. Unexpectedly, Tang An took the initiative to bring it up.
"In the future, if we have movies together, we can coordinate with each other, and we can also bundle them for marketing."
Tang An responded with a smile.
It can be said that we have reached a verbal cooperation with Li Xiaoping. We will first finish "The Legend of White Snake" as soon as possible, divide the National Day schedule, and slowly negotiate the details.
However, this does not change the competitive relationship between them. Tang An has no doubt that once there is an opportunity, Wang Changtian will definitely use all channels to deal with "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Nine-Percent Demon Tower" to deal with "Xunlong"
"Secrets".
It didn't take long for people to come in one after another.
Chen Tianqiao's younger brother Chen Danian, who is also the CEO of Shengda Network, came, followed by a man in his early thirties.
Tang An recognized him at a glance. When he was young, Wu Wen was the founder of Singularity Chinese website and later the helmsman of China Literature Group with assets of up to 80 billion.
Wu Wen, who is in his early thirties, is much younger and more handsome than he was more than ten years later.
However, Tang An keenly saw the worry that could not be erased in his eyes.
By this time, the conflict between his team and the CEO of Shengda Literature should have broken out.
Shengda Literature now accounts for 70% of the entire online literature industry market, and QiDian Chinese website alone accounts for 44% of the entire market.
Shengda Literature not only has Singularity, but also controls 10 other websites.
Wu Wen values Singularity, which he founded, while Shengda Network values Shengda Literature as a whole. The conflict between them is inevitable.
Probably next year, Wu Wen found several other investors and wanted to join forces to buy Singularity back, but they couldn't agree on the price.
Tang An looked at the expression on his face, thought for a while, and then smiled and greeted him.
Shengda Network CEO, Chen Tianqiao’s brother Chen Danian also came, as did Shengda Literature President Wu Wen.
