"The box office of "Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown" exceeded 1 billion, setting a record for the highest box office during the Spring Festival!"
"Sweeping through the Spring Festival period, "Detective Chinatown" has a box office that exceeds the total box office of all Spring Festival movies!"
""Detective Chinatown" continuously defeated two Hollywood blockbusters, "Mission: Impossible 4" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2", dominating the Spring Festival schedule."
"The "囧" series once again made a box office miracle, and new director Wang Wei became famous!"
"Deng Chao + Liu Haoran, the strongest comedy team in China is released!"
"The most beautiful woman in Chinatown, Yang Mi shows off the perfect vase!"
"The productions produced by Han and Tang must be high-quality, and Tang An once again supports a new director to take over!"
Another billion-dollar movie, this time it was released during the Spring Festival.
There is "Transformers 2" in the summer season, "The Secret of the Dragon" with 900 million in the National Day season, and Tang An's two movies in the Lunar New Year season. Together with this Spring Festival season, the four domestic periods with the highest box office potential all have a billion-level film. 's movie.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the next few years, or even more than ten years, this period will be the most important period of the year, and it will also be a battlefield where major companies compete.
Although judging from the data a few days before its release, "Detective Chinatown" is very confident of breaking one billion, but when it actually broke one billion, many people still felt a sense of disbelief.
In addition to reporting on the box office, director, and starring roles, various media also brought along Tang An, praising him for his good vision and that he was a great talent for new directors.
Huayi Brothers Group, Wang Zhongjun sighed several times one after another.
Wang Zhonglei was also filled with emotion, "How come Tang An can make a hit movie with just any director?"
Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, Tian Yusheng, Wang Wei, and Teng Huatao's "Thirty-three Days of Love" were also contributed by Tang An.
It doesn't matter if you only have one or two. It can be said that you are lucky, but the first films of these five directors were all invested by Tang An, and all of them were hits, and the profits were high.
This can no longer be described as having good taste. No matter how good a person is, he will always make mistakes, but Tang An never made any mistakes.
Not only in movies, but also in TV series, the two TV series "Step by Step" and "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" were also very popular around New Year's Day, which caused a great impact.
"It's not just good luck, look at this"
Wang Zhongjun shook his head, picked up a document from the table and handed it over.
"This is?"
Wang Zhonglei took the document with some confusion, but he understood it as soon as he opened it and read two pages.
"Is this from the investigation company?"
"Take a look."
As one of Huayi's biggest rivals, Wang Zhongjun saw that Hantang Media was developing faster and faster and had become the film and television company with the largest share of the domestic film market for two consecutive years. Wang Zhongjun found the largest investigation company in the country and spent two months on it. During the period, we conducted a detailed and all-round investigation of the media in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Wang Zhonglei was looking over there, and Wang Zhongjun continued.
"From production to publicity and distribution, to theaters, the industrial chain of the Han and Tang Dynasties has developed very maturely. In the past two years, its subsidiary Qiansi Advertising has expanded rapidly with the company's large number of film and television drama businesses, and has annexed five or six advertising companies. company."
"Xingmei, Poly Wanhe, Wanda have a very good relationship with Tang An, and they also have their own Han and Tang Cinemas. China Film Distribution Department Director Lin Sheng and Tang An have been friends for seven or eight years, and Director Han also thinks of him more seriously. United Not to mention theater chains and China Film Digital Cinemas, five of the top ten theater chains in China have a good relationship with him."
"Several popular TV series have also allowed Hantang to maintain good relationships with several TV stations."
"Investing almost a controlling stake in Weibo, UC, Tudou, and the newly established Han and Tang Literature. The shares of these companies alone are worth 3 billion."
"Even though Han and Tang now have nearly 2 billion in debt, several large domestic funds and investment banks have given it a valuation of over 10 billion!"
A valuation of tens of billions!
When Wang Zhonglei turned over this number, he was also shocked.
Huayi's current market value has just reached 15 billion. This is because the domestic film market has become more and more popular day by day since the Lunar New Year holiday, and all film and television stocks have surged.
After March and April, it will be cold for a while, and it will fall soon.
This is still the current valuation. Once successfully listed, it will immediately become the domestic film and television company with the highest market value.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is not an exaggeration. The "Painted Skin" series, the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, and the follow-up movies of the "囧" series are almost guaranteed to make money as long as there are no big mistakes. The copyright of any one of them is worth a lot.
money.
"Edge of Tomorrow" can definitely be made into a sequel, and the same can be said about "The Martian". The former can make the aliens come back, and the latter can also let the male protagonist go to Mars again.
If that doesn't work, just use Mercury, Jupiter, or if the spacecraft has an accident in space, do "Space Rescue".
Just follow the example of Hollywood and never let go of any blockbuster movie without the slightest possibility of making a sequel.
Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and said, "Brother, actually I think we can also make series films, such as "Now You See Me", "The Wind", "Chinese Partners", etc. If we find a good director, just follow Tang An's instructions
The model, general structure and script outline remain unchanged, as long as the filming is not bad, you can make money steadily."
Wang Zhonglei's words awakened Wang Zhongjun, and he immediately started thinking about the feasibility of these movies.
"Now You See Me" is not difficult. The selling point of this movie is the magic stunts.
"The Wind" needs a wonderful spy thriller script, and it also needs a director who is good at this kind of subject and grasps the rhythm and atmosphere.
"China Partner" is a story of entrepreneurship, replacing Yenching University with Qinghua University, and replacing the English training school with an Internet company.
Totally doable!
But Wang Zhongjun remembered another key thing.
"The contract we signed with Tang An Studio at that time was to distribute the copyright on a proportional basis."
Wang Zhonglei thought for a moment and nodded, "Tang An Studio enjoys the copyright and 30% of all profits."
He does not own the copyright to Feng Xiaogang's films, they are all in the hands of Hua Yi. After all, he is Hua Yi's contracted director and gets a share of the box office.
However, Tang An is a co-investor from the studio and enjoys a share of box office, video, overseas, etc. income, including copyright.
It's difficult now. We have to spend money to buy the copyrights of these movies. Tang An may not be able to sell them, otherwise the lion will open his mouth.
Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "Forget it, we have four blockbusters released this year, and we are all too busy. Besides Xiaogang's films, "Party A and Party B" are also suitable for making series films."
"Xiaogang doesn't even want to make comedies now, so why would he come to make a sequel?" Wang Zhonglei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In the past, Feng Xiaogang was scolded for only making vulgar comedy films. He was so stimulated that he filmed "Tangshan Earthquake", "Assembly", and "1942", which were praised and praised by many, and it was a box office hit and won many awards.
I won a lot, almost two Grand Slams, and gained fame and fortune.
Now Hua Yi asked Feng Xiaogang to make a comedy and he couldn't even complain. They won't do it. What can you do?
It took a lot of effort to convince Feng Xiaogang to make "If You Are the One 2". Feng Xiaogang saw that Huayi was willing to invest in "1942", otherwise Feng Xiaogang, who was busy with "Tangshan Earthquake" at the time, really wouldn't have made it.
.
Unless "1942" fails to meet expectations, it is still possible for Feng Xiaogang to return to comedy.
But it was impossible for Wang Zhonglei to think about it. "Assembly" and "Tangshan Earthquake" captured the tears very well and resonated with the audience. "1942" is also a tragic movie, and Feng Xiaogang is familiar with it.
Wang Zhongjun waved his hand and said, "Forget it if he doesn't want to film. We can also find a suitable comedy director and make the plots more funny."
