Chapter 285 The Big Three are scared(1/2)
........
Before "Edge of Tomorrow" was released.
Teng Xun, Ali's biggest idea is to take shares in Hengyu Media, Huayi, and Guangdian companies, secretly control a film and television company with great potential, and prepare for a full-scale entry into the film and television industry later.
It's a pity that neither Fang Ziheng, nor Wang Changtian, Yu Dong and others are willing to be others' grandchildren.
Even Wang Zhongjun is only willing to sell a small amount of shares in Huayi, and he will not sell any more.
"Edge of Tomorrow" turned out to be a hit, and it grossed 3 billion in box office worldwide.
The three major Internet giants once began to change their minds and no longer sought to only acquire shares in film and television companies.
Instead, they are waiting and watching while preparing for their respective film and television companies.
The three giants took the opportunity to establish a website to further understand the film and television industry from the side and understand the front-line production field.
At that time, they had no idea of entering the front-line production field, they just had an understanding of it.
After all, everyone has heard the legend of the coal boss, who happily broke into the entertainment industry while carrying money in a sack, only to be deceived in the end.
Until "The Secret of the Dragon" was released, it once again sold 3.5 billion yuan at the global box office.
The three giants finally couldn't sit still, completely changed their internal assessment of the film and television industry, and quickly changed their previously made strategic decisions.
Hangcheng Ma and Shencheng Ma even took the initiative to contact Fang Ziheng and invest in the project controlled by Hengyu Media this year.
This kind of situation would never have happened in the previous life!
Erma's ambitions are definitely not worth the box office revenue of a movie. Even if he wants to invest, he will invest in a certain company, and he will never invest in just a certain movie.
Fang Ziheng's two consecutive films were global hits, which made Erma see the potential of the film and television industry and the cake of the film market.
At this point, they no longer wait behind and have entered the field of first-line film and television production two years earlier than in the previous life.
9 a.m. on the 11th.
Pengyu National Hotel, large banquet hall No. 1.
The colorful flags are fluttering, and the blessings are hanging high.
Entertainment media, Internet new media, and even traditional mainstream media are swarming in with long guns and short guns.
Everyone wants to take a look at how big a stir Alibaba intends to make this time when it announces its entry into the film and television industry.
When Fang Ziheng, Andy, and Lao Mouzi entered the venue, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Li Ming and others had already arrived, and they formed a small circle and talked quietly.
In addition, many TV drama production companies and other film professionals in the industry were present, as well as many people from the media and Internet industries.
Fang Ziheng ignored everyone's looks and led the two of them to Wang Zhongjun and others, waving to greet them.
"You guys came very quickly. I hurried and took my time, but I still lagged behind you."
"Haha, Mr. Fang has everything to do every day, so he is a busy man."
Wang Zhongjun said with a smile and handed over a foreign cigarette of unknown brand.
Except for this guy who is leisurely and leisurely, the other people don't look relaxed, their eyebrows are slightly furrowed, and they obviously feel the pressure brought by Ali's cross-border cooperation.
Wang Changtian was smoking a cigarette and looked over with a sigh, saying: "Dong Fang is still more courageous. The guaranteed release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is 950 million. I, Old Wang, can't even think about it."...
Guangxian had previously cooperated with Huang Jiaozhu's studio and invested in the production of a movie "Everyman", but ended up going to his grandma's house.
In "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Wang Changtian actually valued Zhou Xingchi very much and raised the price to 750 million.
Now that Hengyu Media has snatched it away, how can he not be depressed?
"Director Fang is a film connoisseur, and he never fails to see the movies he likes. Besides, Zhou Xingchi's work, which he has been honing for three years, is definitely worth 950 million guaranteed."
Wang Zhongjun took out his lighter, took the initiative to light it for Fang Ziheng, and said with high spirits.
Damn...
Just tell me why Wang Zhongjun was so nice to Lao Zhi today.
Let’s look at the face of the guaranteed issuance at a sky-high price of 950 million.
grass!
Fang Ziheng squinted his eyes and smoked, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, pretending to be annoyed and said: "Oh, I was too impulsive at the time, 950 million! Director Wang, do you think we have signed a contract? How about 800 million?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's happy face instantly fell, and his head shook like a drum.
"Director Fang, as the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, and his words are like water thrown out. Besides, I am only one of the producers of the movie, so I really can't do anything."
Changing the contract is absolutely unacceptable.
With the guaranteed issuance of 950 million, except for Hengyu Media, who else dares to take advantage of this?
That's right, he was taken advantage of.
Wang Zhongjun burst into laughter at this time. He really didn't expect that Zhou Xingchi's movie would sell such a high box office guarantee in advance.
Make a fortune now, and when the movie is released, as long as the box office can exceed 670 million, and Huayi is one of the producers, the stock price will soar.
This kind of business is a guaranteed profit without losing any money.
Fang Ziheng was also very happy. Hengyu must have made a lot of money from the sale of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and his profit would never be less than that of Zhou Xingchi and Hua Yi.
Everyone chatted a few more words about "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and then changed the topic to Alibaba Pictures.
Alibaba Pictures Group!
Just from today's battle, we can see that this is not a simple film and television production company.
Everyone knows that Ali is coming in a big way and it is only a matter of time before he causes huge waves.
.........
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The press conference started on time. Hang Chengma, the head of Alibaba, walked onto the podium surrounded by a group of people.
Everyone in the venue stopped communicating and looked at the short figure on the podium.
Chairman Alibaba took action personally, and he was indeed famous!
The leisurely Wang Zhongjun also narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, and his attitude changed into a serious one.
He stood next to Fang Ziheng and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Chairman Ma only attends projects worth more than 3 billion? Why are you here in person today?"
"Director Wang, you don't think that the upgrade of Alibaba Pictures to a group company is a small matter, do you?" Fang Ziheng glanced at him and said speechlessly.
What are you thinking about?
Their ambition is to establish a large cultural and entertainment business group and create a company with an output value of tens of billions to hundreds of billions in the film and television industry.
I really thought that Hangcheng Ma invested in your Huayi because they were interested in the hundreds of millions of stocks. They were planning ahead and understanding the trends of the Chinese film and television industry in advance.
The North American market is ahead. In the eyes of capital tycoons, the Chinese film market will catch up with Hollywood sooner or later and surpass the United States!…
"Alibaba's goal is to create a new type of film and television company, establish a full industry chain of culture, film and television, and entertainment online and offline, and ultimately make due contributions to the Chinese entertainment industry!"
As Hang Chengma spoke on the rostrum, the venue burst into warm applause.
Everyone has heard Alibaba’s ambition and courage to build a whole industry chain of culture, film and television, and entertainment.
Just like the path taken by Hengyu Media, we layout the entire industry and create a new entertainment company.
Many people clapped and were worried at the same time, and some even looked towards where Fang Ziheng was sitting.
Alibaba’s operation, at first glance, is that it is rushing to go public!
Hengyu Media Group has great potential, and its size is different from that of Alibaba Pictures. It stands to reason that it should have been listed long ago.
Fang Ziheng, what on earth is this guy waiting for?
Ignoring everyone's scrutinizing glances, Fang Ziheng was there, identifying the top executives of Alibaba Pictures Group on the stage one by one.
Zhang Qiang, formerly the managing and deputy general manager of China Film Group, became the CEO of Alibaba Pictures Group, a further step forward than before.
Zhang Wei, former vice president of Alibaba’s Strategic Investment Department, serves as vice president of Alibaba Pictures Group, concurrently serving as CFO and chief financial officer.
Gu Yong, former president and vice president of Alibaba Youku
He is also the director of the production department and has become the head of the film and television business of Alibaba Pictures Group.
Deng Kangming, senior vice president of Alibaba Group, serves as COO and chief operating officer of Alibaba Pictures Group, and is fully responsible for legal affairs, human resources, resources, marketing and public relations, etc.
In addition, Shao Xiaoli, the secretary-general of Alibaba's board of directors and executive director, came to serve as chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba Pictures Group.
Zhang Qiang, the current CEO, is in a tough position. He is overseen by the Chairman of the Board of Directors above and watched by a group of chief officers below.
Except for him, who joined Alibaba halfway, the others are all Alibaba's direct officials.
Fang Ziheng looked at the senior executives of Alibaba Group on the stage, and said with a smile to Wang Changtian next to him: "Mr. Zhang is finished. He, the CEO, is stuck in the middle. He will suffer the consequences in the future."
Wang Changtian smiled in his eyes and nodded in agreement: "Lao Zhang also wanted to make a career, otherwise he would not have left China Film to join Alibaba. Now it seems that he cannot be trusted by Hang Chengma!"
"Are you two worrying too much?"
Yu Dong on the side smiled and shook his head: "After all, I have obtained the position of president. With Mr. Zhang's connections and methods, as long as he creates one or two popular movies, I believe he will soon be able to gain a firm foothold within Alibaba.
In addition, I think Chairman Shao also holds other positions in Alibaba, so he probably has no intention of managing Alibaba Pictures Group, and I think he should leave all the power to Mr. Zhang."
