To put it simply, a company's listing is a public offering to raise funds. Basically, the purpose of most companies is to go public. After listing, the market value increases significantly, which is more conducive to raising funds. Investors can also cash out and leave, and management must also
It is profitable and can also make money.
At the same time, after listing, many things will become public and require supervision by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Future Pictures will go public in just half a year, and everything that needs to be done is gone.
When it was time to share the cake, Li Qian also determined the shares for the company's executives and its actors and directors in the company's large conference room.
Du Yang, Zhong Lifang, several directors, as well as Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang are two male actors in the company, and the only actress is Zhao Liying. They are mainly artist managers. Li Qian is not too concerned about it, there are only three
The first-line actors, as well as several other second-tier actors who have been with the company almost since their debut, can be regarded as growing up with the company.
In terms of directors, there are more people. In addition to Guo Fan, Wen Muye, Qi Yukun, and Su Lun, who have been following Li Qian, there are also Wu Jing, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng.
Although they did not sign a director contract, Future Pictures has invested in their studio, and all the movies they directed are produced by Future Pictures.
As for Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke, the relationship is just a cooperative relationship and has not reached this point.
There are more than 20 people, come and share this piece of cake.
More than 20 people gathered together. Needless to say, several senior executives of the company have been waiting for this day since joining the company and have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Even a person who is indifferent to money can't hide the excitement in his eyes at this time.
Especially when he saw Li Qian walking in with a stack of documents in his hand, his eyes focused on it.
"Everyone is here, so I won't be verbose."
Li Qian smiled and asked several secretaries to distribute the subscription contracts to everyone present. The specific number of shares had been confirmed before.
Du Yang, as the president of the company, subscribed for 3 million shares.
Zhong Lifang had 2.6 million shares, several directors each had 800,000 shares, senior middle managers, and the CEOs of several small companies that were acquired earlier also took about 100,000 or 200,000 shares.
Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang both had 2.6 million shares, Zhao Liying had 1 million shares, and several second-tier actors like Li Qing had about 200,000 shares each.
Guo Fan, Su Lun, Qi Yukun, Wen Muye each had 2.6 million shares, and Wu Jing, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng had 2 million shares.
The subscription price was 4 yuan per share, and a total of almost 30 million shares were subscribed.
The listing price in half a year should be more than 60 yuan. Even based on the issuance price, Du Yang, who gets the most, can still get 180 million yuan.
Du Yang has been managing the company since the start-up period, so the two hundred million is nothing to Li Qian.
Several directors, Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang also received almost 200 million.
In fact, according to Huayang Media's allocation that year, directors and first-line actors were the ones who made the most profits. However, at the beginning, Huayang Media only had one Ma Xiaogang, and the combined sum of several first-line stars was not as much as Ma Xiaogang's, let alone other senior executives.
Already.
Li Qian gave much more to the management than Huayang Media, Guangxian and other film and television companies. After all, they have been managing the company since its establishment.
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Wu Jing, although their studios are all owned by the company and the company has taken shares, they are still different from Guo Fan.
30 million shares were given away. Based on the total share capital of 530 million, 5.66% of the shares were given away.
The issue price of more than 60 yuan also means that the company's market value was more than 32 billion when it was first listed, which is similar to the valuation of the last financing.
However, this is the situation after part of the industry has been divested, not to mention that once listed, the 32 billion will turn into 46 billion steadily, and it will only take two minutes at most.
The highest increase on the first day can only be 44%, and there will be a few more daily limits, with a maximum of 60 to 70 billion. Even if it falls slightly, it will at least exceed the current market value of Huayang Media of 56 billion.
Before it goes on the market, "Wolf Warrior 2" will be released, which is also a huge boost.
Predictions about company listings are commonplace on financial channels, and everyone almost instinctively estimates the amount of money they will receive.
Looking at the shares worth two to three hundred million in front of them, everyone quickly signed their names on the subscription form, and then heaved a sigh of relief with great satisfaction.
However, Qi Yukun, who has been making literary films, still has some doubts.
"Boss"
Li Qian smiled and said, "Hurry up and sign. It's so troublesome to write a name. After we finish, we have to talk about the two films "My Motherland and Me" and "The Loveliest Person". I guess the results will be published soon."
."
Although Qi Yukun did not have blockbuster movies, such as "The Labyrinth of the Heart" and "Breaking Silence", which were not very profitable, he was also the company's art director and basically participated in the preparation of all movies, and his credit was not small.
Having said that, Qi Yukun stopped being pretentious and signed his name.
After a large piece of cake was divided and signed, Du Yang and the others left the conference room with smiles on their faces and went to work.
After collecting the contract, Li Qian began to discuss business with them.
"There are some parts in those two movies that we should pay more attention to."
"Director Li, just ask." Xu Zheng nodded repeatedly after taking the money, and smiled with his bald head and round face, which made people laugh.
"First of all, each unit of "My Motherland and Me" should not exceed 20 minutes. Although "The Loveliest Person" has one less unit, it is best to keep it to 20 minutes. Throw away all those superfluous ideas and try to keep it as long as possible.
From the small to the big, use partial depictions to express the whole.”
Their previous plans were basically based on micro-movies, which were five to sixty minutes in length. They were good or bad, but one unit lasted five to sixty minutes, and a film lasted three to four hundred minutes.
Over five hours, I went to the toilet several times, and my eyes were sore.
"Wouldn't that mean that everything would be overthrown?"
After saying this, Xu Zhengcai realized that he had only submitted a plan before, without a script, so he had no estimate of the approximate duration. Thinking about it this way, his plan could not be completed in twenty minutes.
"During this period, I have also reviewed your plan over and over again and made some optimizations. Please take a look."
Li Qian said as he took out a folder and opened the first page, "First of all, Director Ning, your plan is based on the national flag as I said. It would be too troublesome to start with the design of the national flag, so just simplify it.
Focusing on the raising of the national flag, the various difficulties of raising the national flag were filmed within 20 minutes, and finally ended with the founding ceremony of the country in about one minute."
Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "I checked the history. According to the requirements at that time, the height of the flagpole should be the same as the Tiananmen Gate Tower. After on-site measurement, Lin Zhiyuan's data was 35 meters high.
But at that time, in the newly liberated capital, everything was in dire straits. It was not easy to find materials suitable for making flagpoles. Finally, I came up with a brilliant idea, which was to use four water pipes with different diameters.
, put them together section by section and weld them.
However, after the welding was completed, the length was 22.5 meters, which did not meet the 35-meter height requirement. In the end, after consulting the command headquarters, the length of the flagpole was determined to be 22.5 meters."
Li Qian shook his head, "The flagpole is not the main thing, the main thing is the national flag, the period of raising the national flag, and the precise coordination of the process and the national anthem. I suggest starting from this aspect."
"Technical difficulties?" Ning Hao understood. The time of raising the national flag was synchronized with the national anthem. When the national flag reached the top, the national anthem also happened to be sung.
"Then, Brother Zheng, your previous plan was very good. The parallel montage, the perspective of the Olympic preparation team, and the perspective of an ordinary person watching the Olympics from other places were carried out and advanced simultaneously.
The preparatory team was busy and nervous, but the people who came to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games were excited and happy, and the process was a bit funny. In the end, the two timelines converged at the Olympic opening ceremony and merged into one.
But the same problem is too long and cannot be solved in 20 minutes. I suggest cutting off the role of the preparation team and telling it from the perspective of a tourist, or adding a local from the capital to create a single-line narrative."
"Okay, let me think about it again." Xu Zheng nodded, and if we really took the photo, 20 minutes would definitely not be enough.
Their previous plans basically had too much content, because there was so much to express about this kind of historical event, and they wanted to squeeze everything into it.
Li Qian didn't emphasize the issue of duration before. He thought that a movie with six or seven units should have a limited duration.
"Then "The Cutest Man" also tried to simplify the plot as much as possible. The other parts were fine. The two units of Huang Jiguang and *** are somewhat similar. You should try your best to shoot something different."
"However, the deeds of these two people have too much in common. They were both young and poor, joined the army, and died heroically." Guo Fan was also distressed.
Li Qian took out a piece of paper from the folder and said, "There is still something different. Qiu Shaoyun joined the army in 1949 and was already a mature soldier and a veteran during the Beibei War.
Huang Jiguang signed up to join the army in 1951 and was assigned as a correspondent. Strictly speaking, he was a recruit. Although both recruits and veterans were full of anger when facing the American army, their states on the battlefield were different."
Most military TV dramas start when the protagonist just joins the army, or before he joins the army. Becoming a real soldier requires a process.
Li Qian checked Huang Jiguang's information. When he joined the army, he originally wanted to go to the front lines and kill more enemies. However, according to needs, Huang Jiguang, the correspondent, was left behind in the logistics.
He felt like an overturned five-flavor bottle, which was very unpleasant, especially when he saw that his fellow soldiers who had joined the army had killed many enemies, and he was very envious.
So, he asked the deputy instructor for three days' leave. When the assistant instructor learned that he wanted to go to the frontier with his fellow villagers to fight the enemy, he said to him seriously: "Look at my watch, the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand are constantly moving.
Turn, why is it turning? What is driving it?"
The assistant instructor used a knife to open the back of the watch, revealing many parts. He continued to say to him, "This is a clockwork, gears, and small screws. If one of them is missing, or one of them stops working, the needle on the other side will still rotate."
Is it? Our battlefield is like this watch, and each soldier is a small part of it. Although the division of labor is different, their role is the same."
In fact, similar plots can be found in many movies and TV dramas. A soldier who is eager to kill the enemy is so eager that he cannot go to the battlefield.
"Huang Jiguang, I suggest that you depict the stage from recruit to maturity, where you will be sacrificed in the end. Don't rush forward. It requires courage, perseverance, and wisdom. After all, flesh and blood are facing machine gun fire. We must execute together.
When other soldiers on the mission were tens of meters away from the fire point, they sacrificed their lives and were seriously injured. Why he did it? It can't be because he was lucky to be hit in a vital part." Li Qian said.
"Wisdom?" Guo Fan was slightly stunned. This word seems to be rarely used for such a heroic sacrifice of soldiers.
Except for the male protagonist of the war drama who has wisdom, the others basically rely on courage and tenacity.
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, wisdom, even if they are ordinary soldiers, don't portray them as reckless men. As for Qiu Shaoyun, he is a veteran, so we must highlight his strength and show him to the King of Soldiers."
Just move closer in this direction and be more realistic."
It's really not easy to put two similar heroes together in the same movie in the form of a unit drama, so we can only try to shoot something different.
"But as for the King of Soldiers, there is already a Zhang Taofang?" Wu Jing, who had just finished filming the King of Soldiers, said.
"I'll discuss that with Zhang Yimou, but he mainly shoots snipers. He has even thought of a name for the unit. It's called "The Coldest Gun". There shouldn't be too many similarities." Li Qian said.
Li Qian explained the problems one by one in the units they were responsible for.
In fact, there are three main issues. The length of each unit of "My Motherland and Me" needs to be cut carefully. The other is to focus on joy and touching.
After all, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is a happy occasion, so we must not forget to take the photo in a tragic direction.
The other thing is what I just mentioned. The six soldiers in "The Loveliest Man" have the same identity, so the plots tend to be the same, which makes the audience tired.
Anyway, the problem has been pointed out, and the rest is left to them to figure out and discuss later, and the plot must be checked by the boss.
After the business talk was over, some casual chats started, and Wu Jing talked about the news report a few days ago that Huayang Media was going to put the battle to defend the Sihang Warehouse on the big screen.
"Guan Hu also makes war films. I feel like there are quite a lot of people making war films now. I heard that there are several projects that are attracting investment, including films about the air force."
As a war film director, Wu Jing certainly hopes to have more and better war films.
"I heard that a real estate developer in Suzhou had a piece of land, and promised to use it to build a real-life scene, so that we could raise the cost. It's a piece of land, and it's still in Suzhou!" Xu Zheng's concern is different. In this real estate industry, real estate is booming.
In this era of development, real estate developers do not build houses, but use the area to set up movie scenes.
"Movies are so profitable now, so I guess the real estate developers are trying to block it. Besides, after the filming is over, they can demolish it and continue to build houses." Li Qian said with a smile.
"It's so crazy." Xu Zheng still couldn't imagine it.
"Maybe there will be even crazier ones in the future." Ning Hao laughed.
