Chapter 379: Wanting to do what Jiang Qian did to steal the book (Additional update 1)
Huaqing is a big company.
Lots of employees.
Therefore, no matter how aware of confidentiality, no matter how much Xu Xiyu improves his control, some things with low confidentiality levels will just leak out.
For example, his latest bold statement of "goal: to be No. 1 in the industry in terms of market capitalization". In just half a day, it basically spread throughout the industry.
As mentioned before, there are eight major private film and television companies in China's domestic entertainment industry, excluding China Film and Television.
According to the rankings when Xu Xiyu took over, they were Wandu, Guangying, Taoyu, Tengyu, Huaqing, Bernard, Capital Culture and Happy Pictures.
In other words, Huaqing was ranked fifth at that time, and its market value fell below 100, only 8.7 billion.
Now, after Xu Xiyu took over, Hua Qing's market value has risen to 13.5 billion, ranking third.
In front of him are Guangying, with a market value of 20.6 billion.
and 10,000 yuan, with a market value of 22.8 billion. Taoyu, ranked fourth, has a current market value of 10.9 billion, which is actually not that big of a difference from Huaqing.
It is worth mentioning that before "I'm Not the God of Medicine" broke the box office record in film history, "Huasheng Stew Shop", which ranked first in box office in film history, was produced by Jingcheng Culture.
Its market value is only about 3.4 billion.
Yes, its market value is approximately equal to the box office of "Huasheng Stew Shop".
This is actually very abnormal.
For other companies, if they had this kind of performance, their market value would have skyrocketed.
But the film and television industry is somewhat special.
In addition to the fact that "Huasheng Stewed Meat Shop" has many investors, Beijing Culture only accounts for the majority.
Another very important reason is that the market's valuation of film and television companies has already exceeded the water limit.
Just like Huayi Brothers on Earth, when it first went public, its market value was inflated to 90 billion.
What is this concept?
It can only be said to be crazy.
Now, let alone letting Huayi Brothers' shares rise to 90 billion, it won't even go up to 9 billion.
The same is true for Blue Star.
This has a consequence, that is, after the market value of Blue Star's film and television company reaches a certain amount, it will be difficult to increase it.
Just like the combined box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "The Annual Party Can't Stop" totaled more than 7 billion.
Although this box office split production can only get about 33%. Moreover, this 33% has to be shared by Hua Qing, Xu Xiyu personally, Xiao Moss, China Film and other investors.
But even so, no matter how you look at it, this performance is still quite impressive. That's it, not counting Huaqing's other gains.
But Huaqing's market value has only increased by 4.8 billion in the past two years.
It can only be said that every world has its own situation; every industry has its own market conditions.
Because of this, when everyone heard that Xu Xiyu wanted to make Hua Qing's market value number one in the industry.
The first reaction of many people is to "laugh".
Guangying, which is ahead, has a market value gap of 7.1 billion with Huaqing; and Wandu, which ranks first, has a gap of 9.3 billion with Huaqing.
This gap is equivalent to the difference between Huaqing two years ago.
Being number one in the industry is probably just a dream. After all, while you, Huaqing, are making progress, other companies are not just waiting around doing nothing.
Even Hua Qing’s current project involves Wan Tu and Guang Ying. If you make money, they will make money too.
"Unless Xu Xiyu can be successful every year, just for several years in a row, and each project can still make a lot of money, is this possible?" After seeing the news, Mao Gaojun couldn't help but sneered at his assistant.
It is difficult for the market value of film and television companies to increase, and this is why.
History has proven that no one can guarantee that the next film or television series will make money. Every new project is a fresh start, and it is a one-and-done deal.
Unlike other companies, it has made products, has standardized output, has a fixed consumer group, and can operate in the long term.
Therefore, Mao Gaojun said again: "I think Xu Xiyu is giving chicken soup to the employees of their company."
"Not necessarily, maybe he is confident in his creative ability."
"What's the use of having confidence? "The Beginning" was shot so well. Did he make money from it? Creative ability is creative ability, and projects are projects." Mao Gaojun sneered again.
The assistant opened his mouth when he heard this. He wanted to say that Xu Xiyu definitely did not lose money, it was just a matter of making more or less. But he really didn't dare to say this.
Because he knew that Mao Gaojun knew everything in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it, or couldn't admit it. After all, admitting that "The Beginning" has made money means admitting that you have failed. How can you report this to your superiors?
This is also true. Mao Gaojun stopped worrying about "The Beginning" and changed the topic: "Is there any feedback from Jiang Yue?"
"There is feedback."
"How to say?"
"She said that the lead actor in "Nirvana in Fire" cleans up everything on his body very well. It is a bit difficult to try to catch the lead actor again and affect the broadcast of the show."
"Of course I know the difficulty. The problem is, if the protagonists are fine now, can't we guide them to make some mistakes? The whole party is over," Mao Gaojun said with a frown.
"What she means is that she advises us to change our thinking and try to play a new trick, but it won't work." The assistant said helplessly. He also felt that it wouldn't work. Huaqing's people were not stupid and could fall into the same pit twice.
But what Mao Gaojun wanted was to make them fall into the same pit twice, or even three times.
Only in this way can Xu Xiyu be completely disgusted to death.
Only when he was disgusted enough and finally let Xu Xiyu vent his anger, he would be happy. Only when he felt happy would he be grateful to his boss.
Thinking of this, he said: "I don't think it's possible, it's just that she doesn't want to. This bitch has been playing a trick with us from the beginning."
"What do you mean?" the assistant asked curiously.
"What is Hua Qing's next online project?" Mao Gaojun asked while thinking.
"It seems to be "Infernal Affairs" co-produced with Golden Harvest, the one starring Liu Weichi."
Hearing this, Mao Gaojun couldn't help but frown. If it was a movie starring people like Liu Weichi, it would be difficult to cause trouble for the lead actor.
Also, what does "Infernal Affairs" mean, what kind of nonsense is this name?
So, he asked: "What story is told in "Infernal Affairs"?"
"Police and gangster movies, Hong Kong movies, that's not all."
As soon as these words came out, Mao Gaojun's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but said: "How bad are the films in Xiangjiang? Xu Xiyu suffered a huge loss in "The Beginning".
Are you still thinking about being in this movie? Isn't this a brain problem? If it were me, I would rather wait for a more confident project to come online.
Only a strong project can restore the impact of "The Beginning". If "Infernal Affairs" is over, his goal of being the number one market value in the industry will become a complete joke. ”
As he talked, Mao Gaojun felt that sometimes waiting for his opponent to make mistakes seemed to be the best way to achieve success.
"Is it possible that it's this movie? Xu Xiyu has great confidence in him. How about we ask Jiang Yue for the script of "Infernal Affairs" and take a look?" the assistant suggested.
"Ask her for a script? Oh, can she give us a serious script? I told you, she is not of the same mind as us." Mao Gaojun shook his head.
"What should we do?"
"What should I do?" Mao Gaojun said and began to pace back and forth in the house.
After pacing like this for a while, he said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you want a script or not. It's not that I look down on Xu Xiyu, but the Xiangjiang movie is really bad. Even if he has eight hands, he can't write anything good." br>
What I'm more interested in is that since he is talking so boldly now, he must have a plan, and there is a high probability that only people at Jiang Yue's level know about this plan. We can let Bu Zhaojie steal it. ”
"Steal? You can't steal it. I don't think Jiang Yue trusts him very much."
"Then find a way to let him gain Jiang Yue's trust."
"How?"
"Do you remember Zhang Tonghe?"
"Zhang Tonghe?" The assistant was stunned.
"You said, if you ask Bu Zhaojie to go find Zhang Tonghe and get some dirty information about Qiao Shuangshuang and give it to Jiang Yue, will Jiang Yue look at him with admiration?" Mao Gaojun raised his lips.
"Hey, don't say it yet!" The assistant's eyes lit up when he heard this.
But after showing it off, he felt something was wrong again.
Wait, let Bu Zhaojie steal secrets. Why does this sound so familiar?
At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Yue was chatting in Xu Xiyu's office.
They were talking about the same thing. While chatting, Xu Xiyu suddenly said happily: "Hey, Jiang Yue, are you a fan of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Ah?" Jiang Yue was stunned when she heard this. Why did she talk about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" today?
"Otherwise, why did you want to play with Jiang Qian and steal the book?" Xu Xiyu became more and more happy.
