Chapter 131 4 Billion Capital Injection? (Part 1) (5/5)
During the Spring Festival, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" was released. At the same time, with the high box office, a group of people angrily scolded Zhou Xingchi for "Jiang Lang's talent was over"...
In fact, Stephen Chow wasn't scolded in "Journey to the West", he was scolded all the way...
"Thoughts on "The Stupid" of "Tang Bohu's Delicacy"";
"A Chinese Odyssey" is co-production with Xi'an Film Studio. Xi'an Film Studio, which has always produced art films, does not like this script. Deputy Director Zhang Zien thinks that this movie can only be regarded as "cultural garbage".
"Kung Fu" was made into "the martial arts film that ends everything" by Hollywood and Bill Morrie became the "highest achievement of contemporary comedy", but in China, there is a lot of bad comments: fragmented narrative, garbage! Or, it is not funny at all!
"Yangtze River 7" is a group of people who are criticizing it. The most famous film review is "If you become a good person, don't come to me!" Do you think someone is a girl?
"Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" is released, and the same is true!
Lots of negative reviews...
"Inspiration is exhausted, emotions are empty, repeating the past, seeing a completely old Zhou Xingchi;"
"I have never seen such a shameless movie that makes money. Is this money laundering? What are the so-called funny points? Is it funny to be ugly? Damn it! The screenwriter is eating shit, Sun Wukong is a monkey, not an orangutan, the whole movie is speechless."
"The funny thing about laughing is far more common than natural funny. As for the third-rate special effects and sets, it is already a common problem for Zhou Xingchi."
Douban score 6.4 points...
Of course, the box office is very good. The first day of "Journey to the West" box office is 76.85 million, setting a record for opening Chinese films; the box office exceeds 200 million in three days, setting a new Chinese box office record...
The box office champion cannot be without Zhou Xingchi, he is the king of comedy!
Then on February 14, "Inner Beauty" was released, winning 58 million box office on the first day, but failed to win the box office championship in "The Demon Suppressing"; the latter closed at 98 million in a single day...
"Inner Beauty" has a good reputation...
"A beautiful movie! It's unreal! The heroine is the heroine sent by the fairy tale world to save the hero who was cast with vicious magic!"
"A fresh movie, the tones look so comfortable!"
"The screenwriter is Shen Mengxi. It turns out that it is true love. Not only did he appear in person, he also found a handsome man to fall in love with his girlfriend!"
By the way, there are also "101 Marriage Proposals" and "A Better and Better Village Night" in the Spring Festival...
"101 Marriage Proposal" barely won 10% of the film schedule with Huang Bo's support, released for four days and had a box office of 42 million;
"A Better and Better Village Night"...
After the first day, the theaters gave up the films and gave 18% of the films on the first day, with a box office of only 6 million...
During the seven days of the Spring Festival, the box office was 940 million yuan, of which, "Journey to the West" won 620 million yuan, "Inner Beauty" won 170 million yuan (three days of release), and "101 Marriage Proposal" 080 million yuan...
This incident has greatly inspired the market!
Soon, it spread from the film industry to the investment industry.
On February 21, Tudou's second round of financing? Ma Yun is here...
...
Coping with the reporter first? When asked about "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons", Shen Mengxi replied: "Of course I've read it!"
"Then your image of the Monkey King?"
"I think the image of the demon king has been restored? The description of "Journey to the West": The four-foot-tall Thunder God's mouth is for the original book's wild monkey body; bloodthirsty and evil, and is cruel and cunning, demon heart; the old flag is still there? The mail has no gold in the past; the harsh and powerful have passed away, but he still refuses to abandon his former name."
"…In fact, Sun Wukong has various images? "Journey to the West" can also be interpreted differently? Some people think that "Journey to the West" tells the story of conversion that ends up with hardships, but some people see that this is a story of a compromise and undefeatable fate, so there is "The Legend of Wukong", so there is "The Legend of the West"..."
"I have talked to Mr. Zhou. The movie "Journey to the West" is a story about Tang Sanzang subduing monsters. In this story, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Sun Wukong are actually monsters. After being subdued by Tang Sanzang, they became his disciples. So in this story, they are actually villains, and monsters always have the taste of monsters."
"The Return of the Great Sage? Sun Wukong is the heroic image... There is no need to worry about this!"
"The box office... I guess it can be more than 1 billion, no matter how high it is, it's hard to say!"
"Because "The Hobbit" is about to be released, "Die Hard 5" is about to be released..."
Answered a few questions? Chen Mengxi got rid of the reporter and went to the company's living room. Wang Ran led a group of VC investors to see him, while Liu Yifei was entangled by the reporters. Talk about the situation of "Inner Beauty"...
...
In fact, the second round of financing for Tudou? Wang Ran has basically solved it!
HNA Capital leads the investment of US$600 million? Ping An Bank, Oriental Huifu, and Zhongze Culture are responsible for the remaining US$900 million...
There was no matter between Ali and Ma Yun, but Yunfeng Fund suddenly contacted Wang Ran and said that he wanted to meet Chen Mengxi...
Yunfeng Fund has a very big background. The founders are Ma Yun and Yu Feng of Juzhong Media, natural person shareholders such as Shi Yuzhu, Wang Yusuo, Chen Guojun, and Cai Chaohui...
Capital circle boss!
So, of course, Chen Mengxi has to come and have a look...
He wanted to know what to sell in Ma Yun’s gourd.
"This is Mr. Chen Mengxi, this is Ma Yun..."
“…Looking for a long time!”
Ma Yun looked at Chen Mengxi curiously, then sighed: "You are the most beautiful entrepreneur I have ever seen!"
“…Thank you, you look so...you can never forget it!”
Wang Ran asked the staff to pour tea, and Ma Yun said again: "You are different from Huang Zhongjun!"
"I'm a movie, he's a businessman!"
"You look down on businessmen?"
"That's not...but it's really not a good thing to be too profitable!"
"I mean your company really doesn't have female celebrities to accompany you when you see customers!"
“…We don’t make that stuff.”
“What if the investors need it?”
"Then we won't cooperate," Chen Mengxi smiled: "There are always investors who don't need these, and we don't lack investors!"
Ma Yun looked at Chen Mengxi in a little surprised, and the latter suddenly said, "By the way, my fiancée will take a photo with you later, is it OK?"
"Your fiancée?"
"Liu Yifei, her annual consumption on Taobao... I think it's enough for you to take a photo with her!"
"Haha, then you can let her in!"
Chen Mengxi took out his cell phone and called the young lady. The young lady pushed the door and came in. She really took a few photos with Ma Yun, and then left...
Ma Yun watched her leave with a smile.
Chen Mengxi explained: "She still has to promote "Inner Beauty"...I heard that I am coming to see you today, and I am pestering me to come together!"
Going to the point, Ma Yun first pretended to be a match:
"Generally, investment projects with a price of less than 3 billion yuan do not need to meet the investment target, but the board of directors decides. I only have one interest when I meet you. How to do a movie market with a price of 300 billion yuan?"
“…Who told you that the film market can have 300 billion yuan?”
"Big data told me!"
“…Is it compared to the United States?”
"You know, too?"
That's right. In American TV networks, every TV network will broadcast movies in prime time. Therefore, the revenue from American TV copyrights brings more revenue to film companies than the box office of the movie, accounting for about 40%, which is the TV authorization.
There are also nearly 40%, about 37% of them come from home entertainment, which means DVDs and cable on demand, which are now developed to the Internet, just on demand.
So there are no American movies, and to be honest, there are no American TV channels.
In China, because we only have one movie channel now and only one movie channel nationwide, most of our provincial and local satellite TV stations do not buy movie copyrights now, which is an important reason for the relatively low income of China's film industry!
Now many industry insiders imagine that they can use the Internet to replace it and build up this market size!
Then the revenue channels of the film market doubled.
Also, American audiences watch 4.1 times a year, and China has 20,000 screens, and the average number of viewers is 0.00. If our audience watch movies twice a year, how big is that, that is twice that of the existing market in the United States!
If you watch it 4 times, it will be 4 times that of the current US market. If the box office of movies accounts for 30% of the entire industry, then the total value of our entire film and television industry is more than ten times that of the United States.
