Entertainment, I just like making movies

Polytech Media.

It was originally a Culture and Arts Co., Ltd. under the Baoli Group. It was a large media company founded in 2003 in cooperation with Teito University Huayi.

The combination of state-owned enterprises and school-enterprises gives Huayi Media the most professional and largest business structure in China.

Two content platforms (film and television production, advertising production) and one broadcast platform (travel TV).

Through the effective integration of resources, Baoli Huayi has finally formed a large-scale comprehensive media group with business systems such as channel operation, film production, TV series production, professional film and television distribution, advertising operations, and entertainment agency.

However, in a powerful media group, if you encounter a leader who only plays with capital and does not engage in content, you have to be cool.

This is the case with Huayi Media.

The person in charge, Dong Ping, is known as a "cultural businessman" by the outside world. He has successively established a number of cultural companies, entered and exited the entertainment, film and television industry, made away with a large amount of money, and almost emptied the entire Huayi Media.

Now Dong Ping stopped playing and walked away, leaving a big mess behind.

Many of Huayi Media's previous high-quality assets were wiped out by Bona Yudong, leaving a bunch of negative equity subsidiaries.

After nearly two years of losses, Baoli Group intends to transfer 50% of the equity of Huayi Media, completely abandon the film and television industry, and concentrate its efforts on terminal theaters.

"Poly Culture, Oriental Dragon Film Production Company, 20% equity of Xinbaoyuan Film and Television, 20% equity of British Film and Television, Qiansi Advertising!"

Fang Ziheng raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the five company names scrolling on the computer page.

If nothing else happens, Poly will sell these five companies, for about 400 million RMB.

Four hundred million is not much, and Hengyu Media can take it out at any time.

What he is really worried about is that during the acquisition process of Hengyu, several companies such as Huayi, Bona, Guangxian, Chengtian, and Pony Galloping were causing trouble, and their prices were maliciously raised, and one or two companies were even robbed.

You know, if Hengyu successfully acquires five companies, it will own the entire structure of all film and television media companies except theater chains.

A series of channels such as film production, film and television production, publicity and distribution, advertising, landing promotion and so on are all opened up.

Hengyu has been developing for more than two years. In addition to production, it is not good at publicity, advertising, and on-the-ground promotion.

We can only barely clear the channel network in first-tier cities and provincial capitals, but the lower prefecture-level cities and small towns in counties and districts are beyond our reach.

When "Edge of Tomorrow" was released, Hengyu, China Film, and Bona announced it together. Promotional materials were included in the release, and trivial channel matters such as connecting theaters across the country and supervising box office all depended on China Film and Bona.

In addition to worrying about accidents during the acquisition process, Fang Ziheng also took a fancy to Baoli's theater chains.

This is an entire theater chain covering all major provinces across the country and ranking among the top ten in the country.

It would be great if we could take advantage of the opportunity of acquiring these companies to participate in Baoli Cinema Line.

It's a pity that Baoli is not short of money and is a Big Mac in itself.

Even if you acquire a small stake in a theater chain at a premium, others may not take it seriously.

dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

Fang Ziheng slipped over and opened the door, and Lin Feifei and Andy came hand in hand.

"What's so urgent?"

Concubine Lin glanced at him, then walked into the suite with Andy. She quickly scanned the entire room and found no outsiders.

"Sister Lin, Andy, here."

Fang Ziheng brought the two of them to the computer, pointed at the computer page and said: "Baoli Group intends to sell these companies, how about we Hengyu take them down?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feifei and Andy were instantly shocked. They leaned over in front of the computer and stared at the computer page.

While checking the news, Concubine Lin wondered: "Lao Fang, where did you get the news? Doesn't it say about adjusting the structure and reorganizing Huayi?"

"It couldn't be formed, and Huayi was hollowed out. President Dong Ping resigned and went to Hong Kong Island to set up a cultural Huaguo Media Company."

Fang Ziheng spread his hands, took two steps back and sat on the sofa, feeling very unhappy.

Dong Ping’s Cultural Huaguo Media was later acquired by Alibaba for most of its shares at a high price, and was soon listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

This guy once again played with cultural capital, swept away billions in cash, and was full of money.

Two minutes later.

Andy's eyes flashed and he was the first to speak out: "It would be best if we can win. Hengyu's shortcomings will be further improved."

"Yes, as long as Baoli is willing to sell, we will buy it, even if Baoli sells it at a high premium!"

Lin Feifei supported the acquisition opinion and sat at the computer desk with a smile, moving her hand cursor to enlarge the scrolling news on the web page.

Seeing that the two female generals supported him, Fang Ziheng immediately expressed his concerns.

At the same time, it was stated that if possible, Hengyu would further acquire part of the shares of Baoli Cinemas.

Sure enough, Lin Feifei and Andy also frowned after hearing this.

Hua Yi, Bona and the others might really have a hand in this matter.

There is really no good solution to this matter.

A large-scale merger and acquisition involving several hundred million yuan also involves Hengyu Media and Fang Ziheng. Whenever there is any trouble, the whole city will be in trouble.

Even if the acquisition is carried out secretly, it cannot be hidden from the outside world. Huayi itself is a media company, and everyone is an insider. A short message can leak the news.

The only way is to carry out the acquisition openly!

As Fang Ziheng went through his analysis, the room became completely quiet.

Lin Feifei lost her smile, got up and walked around the room, quickly using her brain to find a way to break the situation.

Fang Ziheng is still there, leisurely and leisurely.

a long time.

Andy, who was looking down in thought, straightened his body, glanced at the relaxed Fang Ziheng, and said lightly: "Are you trying to silence them with movie shares again?"

Ahem.

Ice Beauty is amazing, you can see it all.

Fang Ziheng raised his eyebrows and smiled silently at her.

He only knows this trick!

Lin Feifei, who walked to the door of the room, also heard this, turned around suddenly, and said with a smile: "Yes, use this method. We will control seven movies this year, one for each company, and each will give up some share and just throw it away. The best way to go shopping”

"No, no, not before buying the road."

Halfway through, Lin Feifei shook her head violently, her eyes suddenly sharp: "Huayi and Bona are listed companies, and they need good projects to increase their stock prices. Guangxian will be listed in October this year, and they also need hot-selling projects.

Galloping Pony just finished "Sword Rain" last year. Apart from Ning Hao, I haven't heard of any good projects this year.

Wanda Film and Television has always wanted to work with us, Hengyu, on a co-production, but it was too late for us to beg. "

"There is only one Chengtian Entertainment, but that is a company owned by Xiaorili."

"Giggle.."

As she spoke, Lin Feifei suddenly smiled and said with confidence: "Lao Fang, it's not us who pay for tolls, it should be these companies who take the initiative to seek cooperation with us and acquire the projects controlled by Hengyu this year at a premium. .”

Fang Ziheng: "."

Sister, are you too arrogant?

The plan unfolded in Sister Lin's arrogant words.

An operation to refuse and welcome the sale of the film's investment share was quietly plotted in Fang Ziheng's suite.

As for the acquisition, Andy will lead the Hengyu Investment Department to be fully responsible.

Regarding the matter of Baoli Cinema, Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei first found their connections and inquired about it.

The establishment of a theater chain is a major event, even more important than the acquisition of several subsidiaries of Huayi Media.

In the previous life, Huayi Brothers had been on the market for many years and had not made much achievements in the theater chain.

Of course, there is Wang Zhongjun's saucy operation to turn it into a movie, but the more important reason is that other theater chains are developing rapidly. Even if Huayi wants to join the game, someone must be willing to take them to play.

Hengyu Media, it’s time to launch the fourth round of investment.

The third investment launched by Hengyu in October last year came to an end at the beginning of the year.

Today's headlines by Zhang Yiming.

There are dozens of new media big V bloggers on Weibo.

Tiantiandongting music player.

Hengyu has completely won these three projects, spending a total of 150 million yuan.

Hengyu directly invested in Zhang Yiming’s entrepreneurial studio, with a one-time price of 30 million soft sister coins, accounting for 20% of the shares!

The two parties signed a complete agreement. Hengyu will not participate in the management and entrepreneurial development of Zhang Yiming Studio, but Hengyu Media will have a share in any project developed by the studio.

If financing is needed in the future, Hengyu will have priority in obtaining investment rights.

It is much easier to recruit new media. Most bloggers are ordinary people who like to play Weibo. Relying on the first-mover advantage and all kinds of fancy copywriting, they have become big V and millions of bloggers in a short period of time.

Hengyu's publicity department integrated these bloggers and established a new media promotion company. It received advertisements for the company on a monthly basis and distributed dividends to these bloggers, which was easy to win.

Tiantian Dongting spent the most money, a full 120 million soft sister coins, and Hengyu took 70% of the shares!

In the last life, Tiantian Dongting was acquired by Alibaba at a high price. After diversion, the platform was completely disabled.

Fang Ziheng has high expectations for Tiantian Dongting. Continuous founder and CEO Huang Xiaojie discussed and exchanged the development route of this musical instrument.

A total of ten standards were set!

1. Supports lossless music playback in all formats.

2. DIY concert, EQ, bass, surround sound and other sound effects.

3. Shake and meet your music soulmate.

4. Collect songs with one click of a heart, so easy.

5. The skin can be replaced at will.

6. Original horizontal screen stage to create cool stage special effects.

7. Provide the fastest updates of lyrics and high-definition singer pictures.

8. High-definition MV, a different enjoyment of listening to music.

9. Support desktop lyrics and move towards PCization.

10. The functions are considerate, and the sleep mode, wire control, and song streaming are convenient and practical.

In addition to continuing online music, the new version also has online entertainment areas such as Star Plaza, Star Information, Popular Events, and Star Mall.

After smartphones are fully popularized, Tiantian Dongting will also create music rankings, hold music festivals, and completely build the mainland's number one music library and China Entertainment Music's authoritative PP platform.

Well, basically following the route of later generations of Kugou Music and QQ Music.

However, Tiantian Dongting is currently the leader in domestic music players. These measures and standards have turned it into a benchmark in the industry.

Last week, Hengyu signed a development agreement for "The Voice of China" with Zhejiang East TV. Tiantian Dongting also participated, and will record the entire live MV, and won the music copyright for the entire season.

So far, Hengyu's third investment project, including mobile browser APP and film and television website, has not yet been finalized. It is expected to complete the investment in the target before this summer.

March 15th.

Xiangshan Film and Television Base.

Hengyu Media's first movie this year "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" has officially started filming.

"Searching for the Dragon" has two main shooting locations, one at the Xiangshan Film and Television Base and the other at the Qinghai Lake Scenic Area.

It is impossible to actually go to Lake Baikal to shoot the ancient tombs at the bottom of the lake in the movie. They would freeze to death. We can only send people there to shoot enough panoramic scenery.

Most of the cemetery scenes were shot at the Xiangshan Film and Television Base. Hengyu Media cooperated with the base to build a 30,000-square-meter studio.

Among them, 12,000 square meters were used to decorate the underground tomb scene.

For this filming, Fang Ziheng will use 3D real shooting, and 70% of the 300 million production budget will be spent on real shooting and special effects.

In terms of special effects costs alone, "The Secret of the Dragon" is much higher than "Edge of Tomorrow". There is no military support this time, and everything has to be made with real money.

Just for the studio space and 3D equipment, the crew spent nearly 100 million in the early stage.

The special effects are still done by Tiangong Yicai, China Film and Television Technology.

One thing to say is that the special effects of the original version of "The Secret of the Dragon" were not very good. They barely reached the first-class level in China at the time, and there was still a big gap between them and the top.

If it is put on a global scale and the movie takes the path of global distribution, the original movie will not be able to do it.

In the previous life, the production cost of the original version of "The Secret of the Dragon" was only 170 million, but in 2015, Chen Kun, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi each had a salary of more than 10 million.

In other words, less than 130 million was actually spent on film production.

This life is only 11 years old. There is a difference of four years. 300 million compared to 130 million. The film production funds are completely different.

In a four-star hotel near Xiangshan.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Song Yi, Liu Ye, Liu Jialing, Jiang Shuying, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Xu Zheng, Lei Datou, Guo Jingfei, Wang Xun, Zou Zhaolong, and the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" Tianxiaba Sing stood in a row on the stage Open and accept interviews from the media.

In addition to the invited media, there were also many fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" who came here, as well as uninvited colleagues from the industry.

The most eye-catching ones are Director Han of China Film and Television and the bosses of major film and television companies.

They have only one purpose here today, to invest in "The Secret of the Dragon"!

The press conference begins.

The reporters' first question was naturally aimed at Fang Ziheng.

"Hello Director Fang, I see you are not wearing a costume. May I ask why you don't continue to write, direct and act on your own and follow the trinity route?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Fang Ziheng's face was slightly startled, and then he looked at the reporter who asked the question like a fool.

Everyone else next to them also laughed. Liu Qianqian and Song Yi covered their mouths, fearing that they would be caught by reporters and ruin their image if they smiled too much.

Fang Ziheng pressed down his hands to quiet the scene, and asked the reporter with a smile: "First of all, have you read the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"No!"

The reporter was a young man wearing a pair of glasses. He shook his head affirmatively after hearing the question.

"If you had read the novel, you wouldn't ask this question. It's not that I don't want to act, but that there is no suitable role for me in the movie!"

""The Secret of the Dragon" is a movie adapted from the original novel and follows the plot style of the novel. The main characters in it all have different ages and special personalities. I am so handsome. In the words of the original work Tian Xia Ba Sing , I can’t play the male lead Hu Bayi!”

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly and boasted, attributing his inability to participate to being too handsome.

Liu Ye, who played Hu Bayi, twitched his lips and wanted to refute Fang Ziheng.

What do you mean!

Did he get the role of Hu Bayi because he was not handsome?

The audience burst into laughter.

The reporters laughed very happily, after all, they received the red envelopes in advance.

After the atmosphere became lively, the questions continued.

The reporter from Sina Entertainment got the second right to ask questions. He is an old friend of Fang Ziheng and he never asks about particularly sharp topics.

"Director Fang, I have read the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Judging from the number of actors on stage and their costumes, this adaptation seems to be very powerful. Can you briefly introduce the plot to us?"

As soon as he said this, many novel fans sitting behind him nodded and gave the Sina Entertainment reporter a thumbs up.

have a look.

This is a truly professional reporter who asks questions to the point.

Unlike the young man before, he had never read any novels, yet he still had the nerve to come to interview and ask questions.

The book fans were secretly happy and stared at Fang Ziheng on the stage with burning eyes.

They also want to know which plot of "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" is about in "The Secret of the Dragon" and why so many actors with different styles are needed.
