Chapter 485: Nanjing goes public, Fangjing tens of billions
The failure of Monster Hunt, 19th Generation and Journey to the West has taught people in the film industry a hard lesson. The quality is not good, the production is big, the traffic is big, and the audience who joins the movie star will not buy it.
Since radio and television have stepped up their efforts to strictly monitor the pay of celebrities in the entertainment industry and strictly prohibited bad dramas and time-travel dramas from entering the market, the market has changed from the previous mess. There are more and more good dramas and movies, and the audience's tastes have gradually improved.
The most popular topic on Weibo that day was "Movie market, how far can it go in the traffic era."
Many celebrities have expressed their opinions. Most people think that it will not last long and quality will be king in the future. Some people think that it is reasonable to exist and the traffic of small fresh meat will never disappear.
Regarding this matter, Fang Jing did not say anything. Before his rebirth, he was already an old man in the world, but fresh meat still emerged one after another to occupy his place.
However, he feels that this phenomenon will not disappear, but will become more and more formal in the future. If you look at foreign countries, you will know that idols are idols, actors are actors, and singers are singers. Each develops its own field. This will be the case in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future.
Although it is worth talking about the first heavy blow in the era of large traffic, the success of Red Sea and Tang Ren is also a major topic of discussion online.
How much money did Chen Sicheng and Fang Jing earn?
"If you go by what Shi Hang said, Fang Jing will make a lot of money this time during Operation Red Sea. Three to five billion is not a problem. It is equivalent to the net income of some large companies in a year."
"Damimi is known as the queen of money-making. Last year, Jiahang and their company earned 1.7 billion a year, which is already very impressive. Fang Jing and his company should be the ceiling in this industry. None of the established film and television companies that have been in the industry for decades can do so.
earn."
"Chen Sicheng's Chinatown Detective has obviously become a big IP, and it is estimated that it will inevitably make money in the future, but this time there are many investors in Chinatown Detective 2.
After checking, the largest one is an investment company that has been registered for less than two years and has invested more than 100 million. The boss is a newcomer and has no good reputation. I don’t know if it is a vest.”
…
One month later, the Spring Festival movie started to be released. Chinatown Detective's final box office was 3.2 billion, and Operation Red Sea's box office was 3.6 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing movie in China, the first being Wolf Warrior 2.
The original most promising movie, Monster Hunt, had a box office of 2.2 billion, but the investors suffered a huge loss.
In mid-February, Nanjing announced that it had been acquired. The acquirer was a listed company called Donghua Film and Television. This was a half-dead company, barely closed.
The key is that it was purchased at a low price. This has confused some melon-eating people. Is Fang Jing crazy? It is not a problem for Nanjing to sell more than one billion yuan now, but it has to be sold at a low price. What does it mean?
Some people who play in finance can see Fang Jing's methods at a glance. Isn't this the same method as Yang Mi before?
Someone checked and found that in recent months, Donghua has not only acquired Nanjing, but also several investment companies. Coincidentally, one of them is the investment company that previously invested more than 100 million in Detective Chinatown 2.
Is it possible that a film and television company whose business is not doing well and is about to go bankrupt can acquire Nanjing and several popular investment companies? I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't tricky.
A few days later, Nanjing, a subsidiary, announced its listing, and the shareholders of the parent company that acquired them changed. The biggest one was Fangjing.
Now everyone understood that what Fang Jing was doing was a backdoor listing, and those investment companies and Donghua Film and Television belonged to him.
Nanjing has been established for a short period of time and does not have the qualifications to be listed on the market. However, it is different if it is acquired. It can be successfully listed under the name of the parent company.
Yang Mi had also played this trick before. Her Jiahang Studio first developed into a company and then went public. The stock price skyrocketed, and its market value was 5 billion overnight.
"Dear me, did you just read it? Nanjing's stock has soared. Its market value is now 8 billion. Fang Jing has made a fortune."
"Twenty-two years old and worth eight billion, why am I so envious?"
"Don't forget, Fang Jing also has dozens of companies under his control. He was involved in the previous projects such as "Journey to the Road", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Wolf Warrior 2", and now "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown". He is probably worth over 10 billion.
"
"He debuted in 2014 and became worth tens of billions in less than four years. Isn't Fang Jing so awesome? He's a proper protagonist!"
The listing of Nanjing has once again elevated Fangjing. He holds a tens of billions of film and television companies. Even the kings have to give him some face when they meet him. First-line artists are not in the same league as him. The gap between them is not a gap, but tens of billions of capital.
Jiangzhe, Nanjing Entertainment, in the conference hall, all the company's actors and directors, artists, agents, and leaders of various departments gathered together.
On the stage, Fang Jing said with a relaxed smile: "Don't be so formal, everyone, relax. Let's just have a brief chat and talk about this year's development."
Hearing Fang Jing's words, everyone took a heavy breath. Isn't Nanjing's development their development? Artists are bound to the company, and everyone prospers.
"The company plans to launch four dramas this year!"
"Hiss!" All the actors were excited. There are four dramas. How many actors are needed? First come first, first come first. Of course, our company chooses first, and then recruits roles from outside.
Four dramas, after all, everyone has a role.
"In the first full-time master, Luo Yongfang plays the leading role. Ying Haoming and Li Yitong have already passed on to play the second male and female roles. The crew is full. It has been filming for a while and we are not hiring for the time being."
"The second part of the film is directed by Xu Ding. The protagonist Zhang Yi and the heroine are found from outside. Those who want to be a supporting role can audition, but they must be over thirty-five years old."
Over the age of thirty-five, when hearing this condition, the young artists were discouraged, while the old actors laughed. They were too old to play the leading role. This kind of role was simply tailor-made for them.
Fang Jing is also for the quality of the TV series. In his previous life, Zhang Yi won the TV drama with this drama, and the heroine Yin Tao won the TV drama. The young actors' acting skills are not enough and they just mess up. The old actors are better.
"The third part is Operation Ice Breaking, directed by Liu Zhangmu, starring Teacher Wang Jinsong and myself. Teacher Wu Gang will be invited later..."
Liu Zhangmu was the former executive director of Wolf Warrior 2 and was hired by Fang Jing at a high price. He also directed Icebreaker in his previous life. This time, Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong and Fang Jing are supporting a film.
Brother Tazhai must be online!
In order to restore the general plot of his previous life as much as possible, actor Simon Yam would also send out invitations, but he would delete the emotional scenes with the heroine.
The biggest failure was the emotional scene in the ice-breaking operation in the previous life, but the director had to arrange it because the female protagonist joined the team with money.
"The fourth part is Lost on the Road 2. Xu Zheng directs and stars in it. The protagonists are definitely not available, but there are many supporting roles. If you want to star, you can ask Xu Zheng to audition for the role."
"For the above-mentioned dramas, except for the full-time masters, everyone can apply for the remaining three. As for whether the role is suitable, it depends on the director and the script. The time is one month, and the crew will select actors after one month."
Everyone has his or her own position, some are suitable for acting as adultery, and some are suitable for acting as evil. Fang Jing will not let them play important roles just because everyone here is one of his own.
Of course, veteran actors in the company must be more popular. Although there are few opportunities to play leading roles, there are many supporting roles. Zhang Zhijian, Li Jianyi, Liu Yijun, Yu Xiaowei and others have excellent acting skills, and there is no shortage of filming.
