Just when the entertainment industry was speculating on how much benefit important members of the Han and Tang Dynasty could gain from the listing of Hantang Pictures, Hantang Pictures also released a prospectus one week before its listing.
As the largest giant in the entertainment industry, the listing of Hantang Pictures is definitely one of the most important events in the industry this year.
Han and Tang Media and Han and Tang Pictures, senior executives of these two major groups, as well as important actors and directors of the Han and Tang Dynasties, have been asked about this matter frequently.
When the prospectus was announced, most of the industry turned its attention to the dozens of pages of the prospectus.
The total share capital of Hantang Film Group reaches 825 million shares, and 82.5 million shares are issued on the market. The issue price is 56 yuan per share, and it is expected to raise 4.6 billion yuan.
After a round of financing before the IPO, private placement, and the public issuance of 82.5 million shares, Hantang Media Group still holds 67.4% of the shares of Hantang Film Group.
What people in the industry are most concerned about is how much benefits actors and directors from the Han and Tang Dynasties have received, which has also been announced to the public.
The four most important directors of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and Wu Jing, all received 7 million shares.
7 million shares, even based on the issue price, is 390 million yuan.
Judging from the current market conditions of film and television stocks, as well as Han and Tang itself, it is certain that the daily limit will be reached on the first day of listing. The only question is whether it can achieve several consecutive daily limit increases.
390 million in real money. I can count the number of companies in the film and television industry whose annual net profit exceeds this figure on one hand. It was so easily obtained by four directors.
Tang An's generosity exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng have two movies with a box office of one billion in their hands. Among the many domestic directors, except for Tang An, no one can surpass them.
I don’t know how many companies have approached them in the past two years and are willing to pay liquidated damages and give them shares. It can be said that as long as they nod their heads and make a 1 billion bet like Zhou Xingchi’s, several major companies will give it to them without hesitation.
Although Ning Hao only has one billion-dollar movie, he has been favored by the industry since "Crazy Stone" and has achieved billions in box office with non-sequel movies.
Wu Jing was able to get the same shares, which surprised everyone. After all, he had only directed two movies.
Let's not talk about "Wolf Fang". Although "Wolf Warrior" sold 800 million yuan, there is still a gap between Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao.
A newcomer to the directing industry, even in the eyes of many directors, Wu Jing is just an amateur, relying on a few catchy slogans to fool the audience, and has no other abilities.
Just such an amateur director became a billionaire in an instant, and even once Hantang Pictures hit the daily limit for eight consecutive times, he could become a billionaire.
There are not many people with a net worth of one billion in the entire industry.
All over the country, some well-known directors feel envious and jealous.
Feng Xiaogang, who is filming the new film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" in Chengde, northern Hebei Province, also read the prospectus issued by Hantang Pictures.
This morning, Feng Xiaogang was not in the mood for filming.
I have worked hard for so many years, but I haven't saved much money. I bought a cheaper private jet and was reluctant to fly it. I can't fly a few times a year. That is, I only got less than ten yuan after signing a gambling agreement with Huayi.
100 million.
It's good now, Wu Ershan and the others don't have to bet against each other, and their shares will be worth one billion in no time.
Although it is not that easy to achieve eight consecutive daily limits, Hantang Pictures may not be able to do it.
Forget about Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng, their real achievements are there, and Ning Hao's ability is obvious to all, but Wu Jing can get so much.
Although Feng Xiaogang definitely can't get it, he is just jealous and can't help but be jealous.
I finished filming absent-mindedly all morning, and had dinner with screenwriter Liu Zhenyu and several leading actors at noon. Everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and their voices were more or less envious.
Several major companies have gone public, and it will be difficult to get such a sum of money. We can only focus on those second-tier companies.
Fan Binbin and Zhao Wei invested in Tang De together and made tens of millions. Today, when gambling is popular, Fan Binbin also wanted to make a fortune, so he reached an acquisition deal with Tang De and bought Amy Shenying at a price of 450 million. After selling 51% of the shares in the entertainment industry to Tang De, and then signing an exclusive agency contract with Amy God, he is bound to Tang De.
He sold himself to Tang Decai in exchange for 450 million. He was very excited before, but now looking at Wu Jing, Xu Zheng and the others, they may get 1 billion in stock, and they are extremely jealous.
Liu Zhenyun was open-minded. He smiled at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Seven years ago you took more than 200 million shares of Huayi. The 200 million at that time was not much less than the current one billion."
"It's not just one billion!"
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Don't forget that there is Forbidden City Media. Each of the four of them owns 10% of the shares. This company will participate in every one of their movies. It is estimated that it will be listed in two years. Even if it only has a market value of 10 billion, One person is another billion."
Tang An had spent a lot of money to win over them. Feng Xiaogang even thought for a moment that if he had left Huayi and opened a company with Tang An, half of Tang An's net worth would be his now.
But it was just a momentary thought. At that time, he wished that Tang An would leave quickly. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Leaving Tang An made Feng Xiaogang's position in Huayi more and more stable.
When Fan Binbin heard another billion, he became even more envious.
However, since Tang An values Wu Jing so much, it is estimated that the prospects of "Wolf Warrior 2" will not be bad.
The Navy's "Operation Red Sea" was a hit, the Army's "Wolf Warrior" series was a hit, and the air force-themed movie "Sky Hunter" they invested in will take advantage of this trend and have great hopes of selling a billion dollars at the box office.
Before the movie was released, there was some hype about the marriage of the two. As the male and female protagonists, the meaning of the movie deepened and it was just another gimmick.
...
At the recording site of the new season of Running Man, several actors were also discussing.
Running Man is a variety show co-produced by Huayi, Hantang, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV. Over the past few seasons, stars from Huayi and Hantang have appeared, and they get along fairly well.
Stars from the Han and Tang Dynasties came and went, from Deng Chao to Xiao Di, and then to Nana, there were several waves of changes, but only these people under Huayi are still there.
After signing the contract, Deng Kai and Chen He had to think twice before withdrawing. Li Chen and Yang Ying, who had recently signed a contract, also joined in.
As soon as the morning came, they caught Nana and asked her why she didn't get the shares, and asked her about internal affairs of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
During this period, Nana has been asked how many shares her boss Deng Chao has taken. Now that it has been announced, she is asking herself again.
"Why can't I get the shares? When I voluntarily quit Running Man, I will be qualified!" Nana wanted to shout out what was in her heart. In the show, Yang Ying, who is almost 30, has already set up the persona of a sweet girl. Occupied, he can only act cute every day and become the object of ridicule in various games and activities. If he didn't need this show, he would have quit long ago.
However, when faced with further questioning, he could only keep saying that he was not well-known and had insufficient qualifications.
They couldn't ask for any inside information, and no one asked any more questions.
But envy is inevitable. Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan all got 4 million shares. Among the actors who got the least, Wang Kai got 800,000 shares.
800,000 shares are also 45 million, and after the daily limit, it will be 60 million.
As for the few of them, seven or eight people bet against Huayi, and the total amount is only 700 million. The average is less than 100 million per person. This is less than 100 million for four years of gambling.
Others are just envious, because after all, they have no chance.
However, Deng Kai was nominated by Tang An to star in "Now You See Me" in the lecture theater of the film school, but he failed to get closer to Tang An after that. When Tang An ran away, he took Zhou Shiwei and Deng Chao with him, and Zhou Shiwei again He took Zhao Liying and Wang Kai away, but not himself.
Although he knew clearly that when he debuted with "The Shocking Demons", he had a very high starting point and was being trained by Huayi and Zhou Shiwei could not take him away, Deng Kai still felt a pity in his heart.
Now he is desperately trying to take on the role for a bet of less than 100 million, but Deng Chao no longer likes running men. Xiaodi came and left after one season. Many front-line actors in the Han and Tang Dynasties did not want to come. Deng Chao put all his company's Nana was squeezed in and became the smallest star in the history of the show.
...
Zhou Xingchi, who is far away in Hong Kong, is also paying attention to the news of the mainland film industry. He couldn't help but sigh when he learned that the shares obtained by Wu Ershan and others may be worth one billion in the future.
I couldn't resist the temptation of the new culture and accepted a 1.3 billion bet. I had to guarantee performance for five years, otherwise I would have to spend additional money.
As for them, there is no risk at all. They can only make money by selling them as soon as the ban is lifted.
"The Mermaid", which just sold 3.5 billion, also made a wedding dress for Tang An, with a guaranteed 2.6 billion and a box office of 3.5 billion.
The Han and Tang Dynasties paid a guarantee fee of 800 million and a publicity fee of 100 million, and received the entire share of the 2.6 billion, and 80% of the remaining 900 million, for a total of 1.43 billion.
1.43 billion, minus the guarantee fee and publicity fee, it also made 530 million. However, many producers took away 800 million guarantee fee and minus 300 million cost, which is only 500 million in theory.
I originally thought I was getting a big deal, but I didn't expect that Tang An took half of the profit.
The producer's 500 million theory was not taken away by Zhou Xingci alone. It was equivalent to working for several years, just working for the capital, and others just released it, and the money he made was three or four times more than what he had done before. More than years.
Zhou Xingchi was very unhappy, just like when Hua Yi cheated him out of 80 million. Although he was cheated at that time, Tang An didn't cheat him this time, but the money that originally belonged to him flew into other people's pockets.
He didn't like this. It seemed like he was back in the 1990s. He was working so hard, but it was Xiang Huaqiang who made the biggest profit.
After "Mermaid" sold 3.5 billion yuan, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which he collaborated with Xu Ke, also became a huge cake, and every company wanted to release it.
"Mermaid" gave Tang An an advantage, and Zhou Xingchi didn't want to make the same mistake again this time. The outside guarantee had already reached 2 billion, but he still rejected it without hesitation.
...
One week after the prospectus was released, the day for Hantang Film Group to go public is about to come.
The day before the listing, Tang An stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel near the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and most of the entertainment industry gathered near the Shanghai Stock Exchange again.
In the hotel, Wu Wen, CEO of Han and Tang Literature, reported to Tang An some major events after the company went public.
After the sharp rise in the first few days of listing, Han and Tang Literature gradually stabilized. At this time, other shareholders of the company began to propose a large number of open copyright transfers to stimulate the market.
"no!"
After hearing the report, Tang An immediately rejected it.
"You can't kill a chicken to gain a soft spot. Selling a large amount of big first-line IP can indeed stimulate the stock price, and we can all make a profit from it. But once these IPs are made into bad movies in a year or two, the losses will be huge.
If it gets bigger, it will even affect the value of future online novel IPs."
In the past two years, Tang An has been controlling the film and television progress of online articles. First-line IP has certain requirements for producers. Those film and television companies with average production capabilities cannot buy the copyright if they have money.
Although it would block the financial opportunities of these famous writers, before Han and Tang Literature went public, some shares were also issued to them, ranging from 0.01% to 0.1%.
As for second- and third-tier IP, it is much more relaxed.
Even if these IPs attack ten games, the consequences will not be as serious as the fighting spirit turning into a horse.
If it explodes, it will also be good for the industry.
Restricting the sale of IP is not only for the online literature industry, but also for the film and television industry.
Now that Xiaoxianrou has become the mainstream of the Internet, it will only become more and more serious in the future.
If these young talents want to enter the mainstream entertainment industry, they must go through film and television dramas.
It is impossible for first-line traffic to start from a supporting role and gradually become the protagonist. In that case, it would not be traffic.
Moreover, the traffic cycle is short, and it is very rare to be popular for two or three years. The brokerage company and themselves cannot wait.
If a film or television drama wants to be a big hit, it usually requires a famous actor, a famous director, and an IP.
Although traffic is famous, it is different from famous actors. Famous directors generally have relatively greater authority, and the possibility of using traffic is low.
The best way is to participate in a big IP. Even if you are an amateur or an idol who has just made his debut, as long as you star in a big IP like "Dou Po", your popularity can even surpass that of any star in a short period of time.
In the future, each of these idols will officially enter the film and television industry with film and television dramas adapted from IP. One after another, eye-catching TV dramas will pollute the audience's attention.
The arrival of the traffic era is inevitable, and Tang An can't stop it, but he can seize a shortcut from traffic to the film and television industry, which may be somewhat useful.
It is impossible for the company behind these traffics to win first-tier big IPs. Second-tier and third-tier IPs are free to do so. After all, authors also have to make a living, and it is impossible not to let others sell their copyrights.
If the second- and third-tier IPs fail, they will fail. If they can become popular, it is also a matter of skill. If they do not rely on IP to become popular, at least the plot and actors are good, and those who can act well are also good actors.
Wu Wen also agreed with Tang An's words. He is not one of those capitalists. He truly cares about the industry.
But he also mentioned a special case, "Dr. Tang, people from Penguin Pictures came here some time ago and wanted to buy a big IP. It was prepared for Brother Chen Kai's son. Do you think it is?"
Others would just pay it back, but after all, Brother Chen Kai was a well-known director in the film industry, so Wu Wen still let Tang An make the decision.
"Brother Chen Kai, his son?"
Tang An smiled and said, "Isn't he the director himself? His own son won't support himself."
