On August 26, 2013, Chinese Internet giant Ali Baba announced the establishment of Ali Entertainment Strategic Section in Beijing.
At the press conference, Ma Yun, chairman of the board of directors of Ahli, attended in person.
On the stage, Ma Yun drank chicken soup just like he had done in many previous speeches.
“In 10 years’ time, what will the Chinese people lack most?”
“Health and happiness!”
"To finally realize the "happy section" represented by "culture and entertainment", we must explore and innovate in the organizational structure and management methods, and achieve the strategic goal of final encirclement with the cohesion of "integration""
It’s chicken soup again. If you want to be healthy and happy, cancel Double Eleven!!!!
Tang An and senior executives from major companies came to attend this press conference. Basically, everyone who was free came.
"Eight business groups, ah, this is really a big deal. The combined valuation of these eight companies must be more than 60 billion."
Wang Changtian sighed secretly, this size far exceeded any other company on the scene, and their film and television companies couldn't compare at all.
"It's almost 60 billion. Ah Li is a big company. We can't compare with any of its subsidiaries."
Yu Dong also sighed. The successful listing on Nasdaq a few years ago was the most prosperous time in his life. However, in comparison, Bernard, let alone compared with Ahli Entertainment Group, has been continuously...
Youku can't be compared to either company.
Wang Zhongjun didn't feel melancholy at all. Thanks to the explosion of the domestic film market during the summer holiday season, all film and television stocks soared. Huayi's market value was almost 18 billion.
In the second half of the year, two movies that are sure to be successful, "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Dragon King" and "Private Customization" will be released, and the market value will reach 20 billion.
At the end of last year, it was still hovering around 10 billion, and now it will hit 20 billion!
Coupled with the fact that Jiuzhou Publishing is about to be established, Wang Zhongjun's current mood is almost as good as the day when Huayi was successfully listed.
He smiled and said, "Dong Yu is wrong. The wealth that Dong Dong controls now is not much less than this."
Yu Dong suddenly realized and laughed, "That's right, Director Tang is not only good at making movies, but his company operations and investments are also top-notch. He has created an industry worth tens of billions in just a few years."
"The industry under Mr. Tang's control exceeds 60 billion, right? This year, Forbes will rank among the top ten in China."
"I don't think it's just in the top ten. Maybe this year it will even beat Ma Dong."
Seeing that he was about to start flattering mode, Tang An quickly interrupted.
"Everyone, please be humble. The film and television stocks are doing very well now. It is estimated that the first film and television stock worth over 30 billion will appear within this year. I wonder which of the two directors can take the lead." Tang An said with a smile.
"30 billion is hard to come by. Even if Guangxian could double it, it would still be close." Wang Changtian obviously does not have this confidence.
Wang Zhongjun also shook his head. No matter how confident he was, he didn't think Huayi could reach 30 billion by the end of the year from the current 18 billion.
You must know that the company with the highest market value on the GEM is only over 30 billion.
Obviously everyone thought Tang An was joking, but what Tang An said was true.
If Huayi's actions remain unchanged, the market value will soar to 36 billion even before the Lunar New Year holiday.
It was just two acquisitions, one of which was a mobile game company at a premium of 15 times.
The other time was when the country's national strength increased and the company was purchased at a premium of 36 times.
After two acquisitions, in three months, the market value doubled. This is really awesome.
It is because of this that the target of a market capitalization of 100 billion was announced.
This shows how big the prospects (bubble) of the film and television industry are.
The press conference continued, and the management of the Great Entertainment Group and the personnel adjustments of the eight major companies were also announced one by one.
Gu Yong will be the chairman of the Industry Development Committee of Ahli Entertainment Group and assist in formulating the long-term development and investment layout strategy of the entertainment industry.
Yu Yongfu serves as the chairman and CEO of Ahlida Entertainment Group, and is fully responsible for the leadership and management of Ahlida Entertainment Group.
The business components of the Great Entertainment Group are: Ahli Pictures, Youku Group, Ahli Music, Ahli Sports, n, Ahli Games, Ahli Literature, and Ahli Digital Entertainment Division.
Management of each company: Fan Luyuan, chairman and CEO of Ahli Pictures, Yang Weidong, president of Youku Group, Gao Xiaosong, chairman of Ahli Music, and CEO Song Ke; Zhang Dazhong, CEO of Ahli Sports, and He Xiaopeng, president of n.
Zhang Yu (Yu Yan), vice president of the corporate development department of Ahli Baba Group, serves as the secretary-general of the Great Entertainment Group.
This fame comes from the fact that the top management of Ah Li all have a fancy name, but this Yuyan refers to Wang Yuyan. It takes a lot of courage to choose this fancy name.
As soon as this list came out, everyone was in awe.
Although there had been rumors for a long time that Zhang Qiang was transferred from CEO to co-president, when it was actually announced, it was still a bit regretful.
He gave up his position as the managing director and deputy general manager of China Film Group Corporation, and came to help Ahli single-handedly build Lili Pictures when it was possible to take a step forward before the change of leadership. Now it has ended up in this situation.
Tang An shook his head, "General Gu Yong also lost Youku. Yang Weidong seems to have joined Youku after Ahli acquired Youku."
Wang Zhongjun nodded, "I used to be the marketing director of Nokia China. Later I started my own business. I was hired by Ahli a few months ago."
"Ahli's consistent approach, any company that comes under Ahli must become a member of Ahli."
It is no surprise to everyone. Since the acquisition of these eight companies by Ahli, almost all the leaders have been changed.
Wang Changtian said, "However, Yu Yongfu has received benefits, and it is not in vain that he has been promoting the acquisition of Ah Li and N."
Tang An disagreed and chuckled, "Haha, does Mr. Wang really think so?"
Wang Changtian asked, "Oh, what advice does Mr. Tang have?"
"According to past rules, Yu Yongfu, the chairman of a major entertainment company, will not be able to hold the position for long."
Tang An smiled and did not continue.
Everyone doesn’t understand why, from Chairman N to Chairman of Ah Li Business Group, this can be said to be a big step forward.
Zhang Qiang looked at the figures on the stage, thoughtfully.
"The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook it. The birds disappear and the good bow is hidden."
Zhang Zhao of Leshi was deeply touched by Zhang Qiang's experience. He founded Guangxian Pictures from scratch, only to be kicked out by Wang Changtian when the harvest came.
Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao rarely appeared together in public. Zhang Zhao's now sarcastic words made everyone want to watch the fun and wait for Wang Changtian's reaction with smiles.
But to everyone's disappointment, Wang Changtian was still smiling, his small eyes were slightly squinted behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and there was no reaction.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Tang An changed the subject and talked about the film business.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have won the distribution rights of "Tai Ping Lun", and the guarantee of 800 million is the highest guarantee figure in the domestic market today."
"Dongdu of Tang Dynasty guaranteed 700 million for "Heart Blossoms on the Road", so what about 800 million for "Tai Ping Lun"." Zhang Zhao said with a smile.
Yu Dong continued, "Mr. Zhang is really admirable. The guarantee of 800 million is a huge gamble."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand, "It's only 800 million for the upper and lower parts. If you take it apart, you can get one for 400 million, which is the same price as Yu Dong's "The Future"."
"Director Li must have invested a lot in "Tai Ping Lun", so why did he give up the distribution rights to Mr. Zhang?" Wang Zhongjun looked at Li Ming.
Li Ming smiled bitterly, "I'm not as bold as Mr. Zhang. I really can't afford the 800 million guarantee."
Li Ming's heart aches when he talks about this. The two movies together only have a guarantee of 800 million. If he couldn't come up with so much money at once, how could he give it to Zhang Zhao.
In order to make this movie called "Titanic" from the East, he even bought Digital Domain, the producer of "Titanic", and asked the original crew to create the special effects of "Titanic".
As a result, a large sum of money was spent to acquire Digital Domain, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and all the special effects costs for the movie were spent on software and hardware.
After the production of "The Wheel", the digital field in North America once again fell into unemployment. In order to save costs, Hollywood studios turned to domestic special effects companies to do the work.
I acquired a first-class special effects company, made a movie, and then sold it to Tang An. I didn't make much money in the middle.
However, even if the digital field is sold, the money obtained is enough to pay the minimum guarantee fee, but there is still no money for publicity expenses and company operations.
Not to mention how depressed he was, Li Ming felt that if both the upper and lower parts of "The Wheel" grossed 1 billion at the box office, he would vomit blood and die.
Compared to Li Ming's depression, Zhang Zhao was much happier.
Next year, there will be two parts of "Taiwan" and "Tiny Times 2", and we also won the "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth", a fantasy comedy action 3D blockbuster co-produced by multiple parties.
This is a large-scale production with a cost of 200 million. Wang Baoqiang became famous with the "囧" series trilogy.
Although Donnie Yen has no blockbuster movies except the "Ip Man" series, with box office of more than 100 million points, "Havoc in Heaven" will be released during the Spring Festival next year, and "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" will be released in May.
The first film was released at the end of April, just in time to capitalize on the momentum of "Havoc in Heaven".
Several people were chatting here, paying attention to the situation on the stage from time to time, extracting some useful information from it.
Nearly two hours later, the press conference ended and everyone moved to the banquet hall next door.
Ma Yun drank a glass with everyone, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a smile.
"All my colleagues in the entertainment industry are here. Thank you all for coming. Let's work together to make this 500 billion entertainment industry bigger and stronger!"
When I last met with Tang An, I was talking about a 300 billion entertainment industry, but now I changed my mind and said 500 billion.
However, 500 billion is still an exaggerated figure for everyone. Thinking about such a big cake makes people excited.
Come on, Brother Ma accidentally threw out another piece of chicken soup.
Not long after, Ma Yun left first, and Yu Yongfu, chairman of Lida Entertainment, became the centerpiece of the entire banquet.
Tang An looked around with a glass of wine. Zhang Wei and Zhang Qiang didn't know what they were talking about in the distance. After saying a few words, Zhang Wei went to find Fan Luyuan, the newly appointed chairman and CEO of Ahli Pictures, Ahli Pictures.
coo and others are gathering together.
The entire top management of Li Pictures is now from Li Baba, so Zhang Qiang, a foreigner, seems a bit out of place.
"Mr. Zhang."
Tang An strode forward, raised his glass and raised a wall to signal.
"Tang Dong."
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, drank a glass with Tang An, and drank all the wine in the glass, a bit like drinking wine.
ps: This book is not over yet, it is still early, there will be at least three movies, and there will definitely be two million words.
Although the subscription is not high now, it can improve my life.
What's more, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This book has made me feel much better this year than in previous years, although I will inevitably be ridiculed for not being able to find a girlfriend, not being able to afford a house, etc.
But at least this is the best year I’ve had since I entered society at the age of 18. Thank you all, thank you!
