Chapter 641 Animation
It is a pity that although there are so many classic copyrights, they have not been well developed.
So, when Xu Liang established Hongmeng Animation, he thought of it immediately.
"Have you been in contact with the other party?"
Zhao Lang nodded, "We are in contact. Regarding our acquisition, Shangmei Film's attitude is very ambiguous, and it has neither explicitly refused nor agreed. .”
"It's normal. It's a state-owned enterprise after all. But judging from your information, Shangmei Film's financial situation is very bad."
"Yes, the cost of the animated feature film "Lotus Lantern" is 12 million, 25 million It obviously lost a lot of money at the box office. Since then, Shangmei Film has not been able to release any influential animation works." Zhao Lang said.
Xu Liang nodded and asked, "How are you going to acquire Meiying?"
"The restructuring of state-owned enterprises is a major trend across the country, so we plan to discuss this matter directly with the competent authorities in Shanghai.
The second point is that we will retain all Shanmei Film employees after the acquisition, and there will be no layoffs unless the other party violates the rules.”
Xu Liang nodded secretly.
Coupled with the reputation accumulated from the previous work, many people are optimistic about it.
"Bright Sword" and "First Intimate Contact" were both acquired in 2001.
What leaders are most worried about is the massive layoffs after state-owned enterprises are acquired.
“In addition, we are still in contact with Zhou Xingxing and want to invest in his new movie "Kung Fu". If everything goes well, we will join forces with Universal to take over the control and distribution of this movie.
"Detective Di Renjie", with an investment of 40 million, is directed by Qian Yanqiu and stars Liang Guanhua and Zhang Zijian...
"First Intimate Contact", investment 30 million, director Liang Shengquan, starring: TBD.
He has always wanted to build Universal Park into a Disney-style theme park suitable for families. Obtaining the classic animation copyrights from American Films will undoubtedly solve the pain point of Universal Studios’ lack of local classic animation IP.
“Okay.”
“Third, combined with the copyright library of Meiying, we will produce an animated feature film and a short film.
"By the way, Mr. Xu. This is the company's shooting plan for four TV series and two movies this year."
The two agreed quickly.
Wait until Zhao Lang leaves.
"House of Flying Daggers" invested 50 million Chinese dollars and obtained 22% of the share; directed by Zhang Yimou, starring: Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, etc.
“Red Star dock?”
If you want to invest, you need a premium. "
"Hmm. ”
Although she didn’t know the relationship between the big boss and Liu Tianxian, she quickly agreed.
Xiang Lili and the others were also very happy.
Xu Liang If the CEO comes forward, Universal Studios will definitely not dare to refuse.
Every employee is a burden that the government needs to deal with.
Two movies, "First Intimate Contact", with an investment of 5 million Chinese dollars, the director and the starring role are to be determined.
We are also in contact with Cheng Long's new film "New Police Story", but the competition for his new film is too great. The local capital in Hong Kong and Hollywood companies are basically interested.
“Forget it about New Police Story, let’s fight for the share and main distribution rights of Kung Fu.” Xu Liang thought about it briefly and said.
"Autumn Fairy Tale", investment 50 million, director Lin Shufen, starring to be determined.
Xiang Lili suddenly asked, "That Liu Tianxian's agency?"
"Go all out to acquire Shanghai Meiying. If you encounter difficulties, just call me."
Because Hongmeng Film and Television's business is not yet mature. It has been delayed.
Since Hongmeng decided to develop the pan-entertainment industry, under the leadership of Xu Liang, it has attached great importance to acquiring film and television copyrights and novel copyrights.
Because it hasn’t been settled yet, it doesn’t appear on the list yet.
"Mr. Xiang, please pay attention to something. If Liu Xiaoli from Hongxingwu asks you to cooperate, you can directly take the controlling stake of Redxingwu."
Fourth, fully cooperate with Universal Studios and take advantage of Meiying's mature copyrights have jointly created with Universal Studios the tourist attractions of "Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha Haohai", "Tales from the Heavenly Book" and "Black Cat Sheriff". "
"Okay. ”
Four TV series.
Once you understand the scale, it will be easy to operate.
He took the document from Xiang Lili's hand.
"This is a good idea. I will explain this matter to Jacques Kerr." Xu Liang said.
He has seen both movies.
"Bright Sword", invested 25 million, directed by Li Jian, starring Li Youbin, Zhang Guangbei...
“Do you need special attention?”
One is a main theme, one is a costume drama, and two are idol dramas.
“After getting the controlling stake, I can give you suitable roles, and forget about them if they are not suitable.”
But for the former, he only remembers Wu Handsome’s ugly mask, and has almost forgotten the general plot. .
But "Kung Fu" is different, he still clearly remembers the entire main plot.
It’s clear which one is better and which one is worse.
Why do I remember good movies so clearly?
Because you will watch it many times.
So it becomes a good choice which one to invest in.
“If there is a suitable role, I will recommend an actor from Jiahua.”
“Okay.”
"How are the auditions for "Super Boy" going?"
Since the end of Super Girl in 2003, Hongmeng Pictures has been intensively preparing for "Super Boy".
Because Hongmeng acquired Universal Entertainment and the film and television entertainment business is rapidly growing around the world, the 2004 "Super Boy" directly became a global audition.
“It went very smoothly. At present, the top three in the domestic competition have been born, and the overseas and Southeast Asian competitions are still in progress.
It will all be over in May.
We will start recording the first episode on May 10th. We will record three episodes first. After the college entrance examination, the first episode will be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV. "
He hesitated for a moment and said to Lily. "Mr. Xu, the current policy of merging the two channels is being implemented, which may have a certain impact on the separation of production and broadcasting. "
" Go into details. "
"Domestic TV stations are divided into wired and wireless TV stations. There are many TV stations across the country, and many provincial TV stations do not have the ability to independently produce programs.
Therefore, it had to be outsourced.
Many TV program companies in the industry, such as Enlight Media, provide programs to TV stations for free, and then make money through pre-roll ads, interstitial ads and advertising placement.
Their classic program "China Entertainment Report" has been broadcast on 158 TV channels, covering all regions in the country and 600 million viewers. It has become the most famous entertainment program in China and is broadcast in most regions at the same time. The program ranks first in the ratings and is known as the "News Network" in the entertainment industry.
However, with the implementation of the merger strategy of the two channels, the strength of local TV stations has greatly increased. Having mastered the channels, they have begun to compete for the revenue space of excellent programs.
Once the producer disagrees, the program will be adjusted to garbage time.
Our "Super Singer" project is one of the most popular entertainment programs in the country, and I am afraid it will also be affected by the policy. "
"Don't worry. If Beijing Satellite TV fails, we can move it to Qilu or Jiangsu Province. I have invested so much in these two provinces, so I still have some dignity. ”
Although he said this, he is most confident about the capital.
My father-in-law is here to control. Although tax matters involve laws and do not get involved, business operations are A matter of words.
“I understand. ”
Xiang Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
Backed by a top conglomerate, she was not very worried at first.
“How many people have PolyGram signed now?”
“There are currently six people, namely Principal Tan, Zhang Xueyou, Chen Kelly, Lu Guanting, Cai Qin and Dao Lang, who are currently in contact. The three are Chen Yixun, Sun Yanzi and Liu Huan."
"Why didn't Jay Chou be hired?"
"His contract with the brokerage company still has three years..."
"Then buy his brokerage company."
The one with the highest economic value in China in the future is this guy who talks about it. 'Ouch, not bad' guy.
Since PolyGram mainly signs contracts with top brands, Jay Chou is indispensable.
“I will send someone to contact you as soon as possible.”
Xu Liang nodded.
"This time on "Super Boy", all the top ten singers have signed their management contracts with 'Forest Records'. If there are some who don't want to sign, there is no need to press. The quality of the program comes first."
“Understood.”
Hongmeng Music business is divided into two parts, in addition to the online website and offline economic business.
The newly established ‘Forest Records’ has lost sales, while ‘PolyGram’ has lost quality.
Cooperate with each other, high and low.
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Liang stood up.
"You go ahead, I'm leaving first. Take the time to take down Shangmeiying."
Looking at the big boss's leaving figure, he opened his mouth to Lily, but he didn't say anything. come out.
In fact, both she and Hongmeng Film and Television wanted to adapt "Zhu Xian", but the big boss gave it to Jiahua.
It is estimated that it is impossible to come back.
After leaving Hongmeng Entertainment, I went directly to the Zhongding Building on the North Third Ring Road.
Compared to two months ago, Jiahua’s once-empty workstations have been half filled.
The front desk saw him and stood up quickly.
“Hello, Mr. Xu.”
Xu Liang smiled and nodded, without saying much, he led Lu Hui directly inside.
“Wow, Mr. Xu is so domineering.”
“The third richest man in the world, with a net worth of US$38.9 billion, how can he not be domineering?”
“If only I could be like this Just have a boyfriend.”
“Everything is possible in the dream”…
As expected, Xu Liang's arrival caused a sensation throughout Jiahua.
Although everyone knew that the company had shares in Hongmeng, they never expected that the famous Hongmeng boss, the super rich Xu Tanhua, would come.
Soon, the old staff vividly told the story of Xu Liang’s first visit.
Before reaching the office, Fan Xiaopang came out with a happy face after receiving the news.
“Are you here?”
"Yeah."
Wearing a pink women's suit, with a ponytail, simple light makeup, and black high heels, she exudes a capable temperament.
After entering the office and sitting down, Xu Liang patted his thigh.
Fan Xiaopang sat in his arms obediently.
“Okay, now I am becoming more and more like a strong woman.”
"Isn't everything I have given to you?"
After saying that, he kissed her directly.
Bold and direct.
Lu Hui saw this and turned around and walked out.
Huo Gang followed closely.
They are all used to it.
After the office became quiet, Fatty Fan clicked his tongue and released his mouth.
The big watery eyes looked at the man in front of her charmingly.
"Would you like to be here? It's so exciting."
