Time passed by and the National Day program started, but it had nothing to do with Han and Tang Media, nor did it have anything to do with Tang An.
It’s just that Nuomi Movies is about to face another war, competing for the market with ticket sales platforms such as Maoyan, Taopiaopiao, and Weipiaoer.
The four major platforms, plus small and medium-sized ticket purchase websites such as Guevara, are expected to invest nearly 150 million yuan during the National Day period.
The ticket reimbursement war is all about spending money and publicity, and fighting for hard power, money and offline and online channels.
At present, with the heavy investment in the four major platforms, other established ticket purchasing websites have basically slowly fallen behind.
The global box office of "Interstellar" has also been settled, and together with half of the domestic subsequent settlement and other income, another 870 million yuan has been recorded.
Originally, there was still 2.7 billion RMB on the account, and adding the 870 million, there was still a total of 3.57 billion.
However, two new films are about to be launched, and Tang An has paid off the bank loan of 2.3 billion, leaving 1 billion in loans.
In addition, through Zhang Qiang's matchmaking, Tang An acquired Forbidden City Pictures, an established film and television company.
Behind Forbidden City Pictures are Jingcheng TV and Jingcheng Radio and Television Media, and the two parties have begun to cooperate.
The publicity and distribution business was spun off and merged into Hantang Film Group.
As for the film and television production business, it was retained and Forbidden City Media was established.
Forbidden City Pictures has basically not produced any movies in the past few years. What movies and TV series it has released are still priced at 1.2 billion. Nowadays, the prices of all film and television companies are inflated.
Tang An spent 500 million in cash to keep the film and television production business, and the publicity and distribution business worth another 700 million was merged into Hantang Film Group. Beijing TV Station and Jingcheng Television and Broadcasting Media own 7.87% of the shares of Hantang Film Group.
Hantang Film Group, which merged with Nuomi Films and removed a large number of manpower and business from Hantang Media, is now valued at 8.9 billion.
The market value is not much less than that of Guangxian when it was listed, and even higher than the market value of Berner today.
There is no way, the future of the film and television industry is very bright now. Huayi announced the establishment of Jiuzhou Publishing a few days ago and the acquisition of a game company. The market value has soared to 24 billion.
After "Detective Dee: The God of Dragon King" is released, Huayi acquires Zhang Guoli's Guoli Changsheng at a premium, and its market value will skyrocket to 36 billion yuan, as it has in history, or even higher.
In two years at most, it will reach an unprecedented 80 billion!
More and more capital is pouring into the film and television industry.
Sometimes, money is just a bunch of numbers.
In the blink of an eye, there will be less than 800 million left, but those two projects can lend a lot of money at any time, and there is no shortage of money now.
Nuomi Movies, Tengxun, Ahli, and Meituan are frantically competing for the market. "Dragon King of the City of Gods" was a hit during the National Day release, with a box office of RMB 60 million on the first day.
Tang An doesn't care about these things. Tang An doesn't care about the movies and TV series under his banner. It doesn't matter whether he makes money or loses.
The loss of a few films was just a drop in the bucket for such a large group, and had no impact at all. Tang An did not pay attention to each film at all.
The script of "Operation Red Sea" is still under review. There are more than ten departments, even if there is a lot of movement, it is not that simple. After all, there are too many things involved.
The script of "Mysterious Superstar" has also been sorted out with a complete plot, and the location team has even been sent to the counties and cities around the capital to find suitable location locations.
The actors are not in a hurry, they just have to decide on the heroine first and undergo one or two months of professional training.
Actors had to audition, and Tang An had already collected information on actresses of the same age group across the country and selected a dozen or so to audition.
Playing a teenage girl, unlike other characters, after Tang An finalized the main plot and character design, he could immediately find seven or eight suitable candidates in his mind.
It's not a very specific role. Suitable actors are so easy to find. As long as you have a general understanding of the actors in the industry, you can even find them with your eyes closed.
Although Tang An knows most of the actors very well, and even knows the characteristics of many young actors in the future.
But at this age, it is not that simple to be able to support a commercial movie and star with several powerful actors.
It’s not like they just want to be pure, charming, or have long legs and strong legs. These actors are so easy to find, and there are always a lot of them.
It's rare to have a relatively large-scale audition. Tang An hasn't auditioned in a long time.
But there is one important thing right now. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang An and Zhang Qiang received directors Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan in the conference room.
At the end of 2009, Tang An established a studio for Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan, and there are still two years left.
Considering the circumstances of the two of them at the time, the contract was still very generous.
But now, Xu Zheng's personal box office is more than 2 billion, and "The Hypnotist", which does not rely on the "囧" series, is also very good at the box office.
Wu Ershan has two movies with a box office of 1 billion, and his personal box office is nearly 3 billion.
Any one of them would be qualified to become a facade for other companies.
At least the three major companies, Ah Li, Tengxun, and Wanda, have contacted them more than once.
Although there are still two years left to exploit, Tang An doesn't mind letting those who are capable earn a little more.
Forbidden City Pictures' film and television production business was spun off and Forbidden City Media was established just for the two of them.
Each person has 10% of the shares, and Ning Hao is also willing to invest.
Although he left LeTV and founded Bad Monkey Pictures, Ning Hao still has to accept investment from large companies for his films.
There are only a few big companies, and Ning Hao has to find a boss. In comparison, Hantang Media is quite good in terms of strength and treatment.
By cooperating as shareholders, rather than contracting as directors, Tang An gave them an equal status.
No one wants to be subordinate to others. Feng Xiaogang didn't want to stay in Huayi even at his age, let alone the younger ones.
In the future, the movies produced by the three of them will be jointly produced by Forbidden City Media and their own company. Zhang Qiang also serves as the general manager of Forbidden City Media.
It has been negotiated before and the contract will be signed soon.
From today on, Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan are no longer contracted directors under Hantang Media, but shareholders of Forbidden City Media.
Although there is a huge gap in status between them and Tang An, at least in terms of their current status, they are on the same level.
Wu Ershan has no special feelings, he just makes more money.
He was already free enough to make any movie without interference. Even now that he has to spend more than one billion to shoot a project that lasts for at least three or four years, Tang An supports him.
But Xu Zheng was a little excited. The studio was canceled and he was finally free.
Of all the directors in the country, at least he is the freest among them.
Although it is not a shareholder of Hantang Media, Forbidden City Media will not only participate in the production of the three of their films, but also recruit other directors. Depending on the director's identity, status, and ability, Forbidden City Media may give them a small share or sign a contract.
Although I only have 10% of the shares, I can share the profits not only from the films I filmed, but also from the films of Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, and more and more directors in the future.
What's more, his own movies and Zhenledao Film and Television can account for 30% of the share, which is completely his own.
This salary is much higher than that of Feng Xiaogang of Huayi and Zhang Yimou of Leshi.
For that money, Feng Xiaogang had to sign a billion-dollar gambling contract with Huayi. Once he lost, he would have to work for Huayi again.
From actor to director to capital, it only took Xu Zheng a few years to reach the top of the food chain in the film and television industry.
Tang An didn't care what they thought and gave them enough benefits. It was not his own generosity. This was what they deserved.
The big head is still here in Tang An, not to mention that neither Zhen Le Dao nor Bad Monkey have the ability to publish.
The publicity and distribution business of Forbidden City Media was also divested and merged into Hantang Film Group.
Only by mastering the publicity can we have the greatest say. It is impossible to open this mouth to the outside world.
Just like when Western countries imposed a technological blockade on China, the key things were not given to you.
Not only can he not open it, it is impossible for any big company to open it.
If you hold Xuanfa, you will get most of the profits.
After signing the contract, we had tea and chat.
Tang An smiled and said, "Director Ning, how are you preparing for "Heart Blossoms on the Road"? If you need help during the production, please let me know."
Ning Hao said, "We're all ready. We'll be able to start the machine in half a month."
Tang An said, "You three iron triangle are now the strongest combination in the domestic comedy field. I am looking forward to the results of next year's National Day."
Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be too polite, Mr. Tang. You are going to make a comedy film, so it is better to release it first. By then, our "Heart Blossoms" will be lackluster."
Tang An waved his hands and said, "This is my first time trying a comedy theme. I'm not as good as you in this aspect. Besides, "Mysterious Superstar" is more like an inspirational movie."
Ning Hao and Xu Zheng only had a few polite words. In terms of other things, they were naturally not as good as them, but in terms of comedy, except for Zhou Xingchi and Feng Xiaogang, there was really no one in the country that they liked.
After chatting for a while, Wu Ershan took out the script of the "Legend of the Gods" trilogy and everyone discussed it together.
After nearly a year, working with three screenwriters and their respective screenwriting teams, the first version of the script for this epic masterpiece was finally completed.
Ning Hao and Xu Zheng also knew that Wu Ershan was preparing to play something big, so they took over the script with curious faces.
