Of course Chen Mengxi is joking...

He cooperates with Feng Xiaogang?

Is it possible?

The things in Feng Xiaogang's movies are no longer in line with the times. His movies reflect the "If Yun Knows" that he worked hard to shoot in his era, which only makes people feel ridiculous...

Back to the company, I looked through the annual financial report.

The film profits exceed 6 billion, of which the surrounding licenses, sales exceed 500 million, and overseas revenues are close to 3 billion...

The majority of overseas revenues are of course the investments such as "The Hunger Games", "Fifty Shades of Gray", "Unreachable" and other Bron House and S Studio projects, with revenue exceeding US$280 million!

These are all considered overseas investment income...

The overseas revenue of three works, "Walking with God", "A Mirror to the End" and "Sherlock on the Plain" is close to US$160 million...

Still too few!

When will overseas income reach 1:1 with domestic income? Even if it is a major success...

But to be honest, with the expansion of the domestic market, the domestic market is enough to support a media company with a market value of more than 200 billion yuan!

This is also the reason why major mainland companies are becoming less enterprising...

When you can eat enough in China, there is no need to work hard to develop any overseas markets - after all, it is thankless!

It's really thankless. The Italian branch has not yet had a work with a box office of over 100,000 viewers, with a loss of more than 2 million euros...

Moreover, is the so-called development of overseas markets a political or economic significance?

To put it bluntly, is a political, cultural or commercial demand for going overseas?

No one answered this question directly or touched on it.

Strictly speaking, when Chinese films are going abroad, there are only official demands; but the official stays at the concept stage and does not make any major policy arrangements, funding arrangements, organizational arrangements, and personnel arrangements for going abroad.

A few years ago, the domestic market had not yet risen. Mengxi Media was of course willing to focus on overseas, but now the domestic market is developing rapidly. Should Shen Mengxi still focus on overseas?

Even if he wants, will the company agree?

This is the actual situation to be considered!

I hope that after the release of "The Great Wall", this situation can be changed...

In terms of TV series, the profit is more than 800 million - this number has declined a bit. Most of the projects this year are mainly invested in, and all its eight major production teams have participated in the investment...

Of course, investment is also scary. The cost of three movies is over 600 million...

"Taking Tiger Mountain with Strategy" costs 160 million;

Eight movies being filmed, "Manslaughter", "Montage", "Drug War", "Hypnosis Master", "Watch of All", "Charlotte Troubles", "Perfect Stranger", and "The Gift of Room Seven". Except "Charlotte Troubles", they are all movies with a cost of more than 30 million...

well…

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

After drinking a sip of water... I made a good preparation and opened the annual financial report of potatoes...

It's OK, the annual loss is only 1.8 billion...

Anyway, it’s investor’s money burned!

Let me first say that Tudou Video will definitely suffer long-term losses - the key to profitability in the content industry lies in the fact that content monetization is greater than the content cost.

With the development of the market, the content cost will become higher and higher. In recent years, Chen Mengxi can still play self-produced dramas with a cost of less than 30 million. What will happen?

Moreover, in addition to homemade dramas, potatoes have to be bought in common dramas on the market!

It is impossible for iQiyi to have "Xuanyuan Sword" and "Parents' Love", but there is no Tudou?

The content cost is too high.

Why do you still have to burn money?

Channels, monetization, traffic...

Looking at the financial report, the annual revenue of the Tudou Game Platform has exceeded 2.6 billion!

Wait for "The Bone of Flowers" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" to be launched...

By the way, "The Journey of Flower", Potato decided to broadcast exclusively, with a copyright fee of 180 million - setting a new high!

I still have to raise funds quickly. This time I raise more, 8 billion yuan, and I can last for three years, and then go to the Hong Kong stock market to go public.

Why Hong Kong stocks?

Because A-share listing has rigid conditions: you must make a profit!

And it's profitable for three consecutive years

If you can make a profit, why should I go public?

...

"Are you gaining anything after a month of field trip?"

"There is a big gain, the whole world is the same, and they are raising the price!"

"What?"

"…nothing…"

Shaanxi Weiju, Chen Mengxi, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Yang Qing and Wu Ershan…

This is a small gathering that Chen Mengxi stopped. Wu Ershan didn’t want to come, but Chen Mengxi said, I will take you to make a fortune!

Get rich?

Then...go better.

"Is Scarlett Johansson easy to cooperate?"

"…It's okay, but she's a little short and she keeps smoking..."

After a pause, Chen Mengxi added: "Actually, Hollywood business stars have very high professional qualities. After collecting money, they will definitely work on time and work..."

"Is it called "Super Body"?"

"right!"

"What's the story?"

"Tell me about the development of the human brain, and eventually the body becomes sanctified... You can just go and watch it. This movie is quite erotic..."

"Elegant?"

"Well, the heroine Scarlett Johansson, the villain found Gong Li, and they had a scene of taking a shower together..."

Xu Zheng's eyes lit up: "Take a bath together?"

"It was designed by the director... Duncan Jones, like Tsui Hark, has a lily plot!" Chen Mengxi complained.

"Gong Li also starred?"

"I originally wanted to find Cate Blanchett, but she was too expensive, so she was replaced by Gong Li..."

By the way, add: "But when I was in Hungary, Gong Li was not on the crew, and her scenes were mainly concentrated in Hong Kong..."

Let me explain that the villain in "Super Body" originally wanted Liu Yifei to play, but she didn't match her schedule, and she didn't like to play such a role...

"Mission: Impossible 4" has just played the female killer, and "Super Boss" has come again to meet the boss...

Sooner or later, I will be protested and insulted by the Chinese!

The food was all over, and Chen Mengxi raised his glass: "Congratulations to Lao Ning and Lao Xu on the box office sales and officially joined the Billion Directors Club!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip...

It is red wine, Conman Di red wine, and Chen Mengxi specially placed it here.

Xu Zheng said: "I personally feel that after the box office exceeds 500 million, it will be an event and has nothing to do with the movie itself!"

Yang Qing: "This is a private party, don't talk about it so exclusively!"

"Really, I didn't expect the box office to be so high... You have watched movies before, and you expect to have 1.2 billion?"

Ning Hao shook his head: "To be honest, I expect "One Scene to the End" to be about 300 million to 500 million, and it suddenly hit 1.2 billion... I was a little confused..."

"Where is Wu Ershan? This year is the box office champion again!"

"Painted Skin 3" won the box office championship of domestic movies last year, and "Walking with God" was the box office champion for another 12 years...

Although "Painted Skin 3" was not directed by Wu Ershan himself, he is the producer!
Chapter completed!
