Chapter 61 Father Zhang (3/5)

It is hard to imagine that Hong Kong film culture can give birth to Wang Jiawei!

What is even more unimaginable is that he cheated so many bosses but was not beaten to death...

What a miracle!

In order to invest in Wang Dao Wang's "The Legend of A Fei", Deng Guangrong spent more than 40 million (at that time it was 1991). Of course, this was an investment in the whole episode. As a result, Director Wang was squandered all of it as soon as he finished filming one. In the end, the box office of "The Legend of A Fei" was pitifully low, which made Deng Guangrong almost suffered a heart attack.

At the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony that year, Deng Guangrong held the best film trophy and couldn't help but complain: I bought this trophy for more than 40 million!

Deng Guangrong, the two things that both black and white have become the best of the beautiful Wutai Mountain, and there is nothing wrong with it...

He didn't even find someone to be Wang Jiawei, which means he is quite reliable!

To put it in, mainland filmmakers are even better than Director Wang in terms of losing money!

In "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying", Teacher Jiang directly fired the original director and asked Tian Zhuang to put out the fire.

Then, Teacher Jiang and Ye Tian joined forces to make "The Eunuch Li Lianying" pay a new level of compensation, which directly led to the bankruptcy of several state-owned film companies...

It's really closed down!

Teacher Jiang has another achievement: "Song of Qin"!

Looking back at that time, Teacher Jiang successfully fooled a Hong Kong tycoon Mr. Chen and asked him to invest 40 million to film "Song of Qin", but the box office was so low that it was negligible.

When "Song of Qin" was started, Mr. Chen came with a Mercedes-Benz and a follower.

When the premiere of "Say Something Good" was premiered, Mr. Chen rented it over to see Zhang Weipin...

However, Zhang's father is not short of money, so he treats filming as a foster artist...

So, Zhang Junsheng advised: "You just think it's for art. After a while, I'll go find Song Wen and ask him to transfer the FIRST Youth Film Festival to Taobao Film..."

“FIRST Youth Film Exhibition?”

"...It's a gathering of young filmmakers who are exploring talents. Please ask Uncle Dong to investigate!"

"…I'll tell you "The Grandmaster"!"

"Didn't I say that Wang Jiawei's movies rarely sell well. You can recover the cost. Just have fun secretly. By the way, North America will also be released!"

"The Grandmaster" invested 120 million yuan and had a box office of 290 million yuan. In addition, the copyright operation in Europe and North America did not make much money, but it was also a profitable project!

"Do you think I want to sign Wang Jiawei?"

"...Why did you sign him? It took ten years to make a movie!"

"But, Dong Ping said that he can increase the market value of Taobao movies..."

Zhang Junsheng rolled his eyes: "Then he cashed out and left the scene and threw the mess to you?"

"…You also think Dong Ping is unreliable?"

"Yes, he is very unreliable!" Dong Ping's best is to raise the stock price and then break the trap. This is what he did!

"Dad, if you really want to make a movie, you might as well acquire Bona. It just so happened that Yu Dong wanted to delist from Nasdaq..."

“…But we have already discussed it with Culture China…”

"Isn't the bill yet?"

“…you let me think about it first…”

Zhang's father fell into deep thought...

...

Listed companies bind big directors to stimulate stock prices. At the beginning, this set was somewhat useful. When they were used one after another, few people would be willing to be leeks...

That's what Dong Ping did!

In fact, all listed media companies do this. Having famous directors invest in shares is a way for film and television companies to bind resources, the same principle as celebrities investing in shares. But compared with binding stars, cooperating with directors can not only obtain projects brought by the director themselves, but also revitalize other film and television resources for the company, and it is also more diversified than the single brokerage income of celebrities.

When Yuehua went public, it also tied up several stars. Zhang Yimou announced that he would sign Yuehua, and his stock price rose by 5%!

This is a very normal phenomenon, which is equivalent to the monetization of popularity!

The director's reputation has been monetized for so many years...

But Wang Jiawei... Forget it, this guy is really speechless.

Too hard!

James Cameron has sharpened his sword for twelve years and has sharpened "Avatar", with a global box office of 2.7 billion US dollars. You have sharpened "The Grandmaster" and barely guaranteed the capital...

...

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang's mother turned off the TV and prepared to chat with her husband for half an hour.

It's real chat.

This is the rule they set when they get married. No matter how busy they are every day, they must chat for a while before going to bed, talk about work or private matters...

"What do you say about your son?"

"He doesn't trust Dong Ping very much and thinks he is a capital veteran, not the kind of person who concentrates on making movies!"

"…You think so too!"

"So, he suggested that I buy Bona!"

"Bonner? Is that Bonner from Yu Dong?"

"right!"

Zhang's mother calculated: "It seems that Bona is listed on the US stock market, right?"

"Yes, and the market value is only $900 million..."

Zhang's mother's eyes lit up: "Did he let you privatize it and then re-list in A-shares?"

"That's about that!"

"...I think we should acquire Bona. The price-to-earnings ratio of the Chinese market is much higher than that of the US stock market. I regret to list on Weibo in the United States! Also, the directors and producers of Cultural China signed contracts only for the sake of Dong Ping's sake. If we acquire Cultural China, would they listen to us?"

Zhang's father suddenly smiled: "...Haha, this kid really has a trick. I guess he has set his sights on Bona long ago and has never had the nerve to take action. He deliberately lured me to attack!"

"He has a good relationship with Yu Dong. This kid is much more flexible than you. He is just too concerned about human nature. If it were me, he would have acquired Dongyang Media long ago. I think they dare to say anything. There is also the "Beijing News", just do it!"

"It's not that easy. Behind the Beijing News are two major newspaper groups, Guangming and Southern. Besides, it's not possible for a company to be the dominant, and it's also beneficial to have someone who specializes in hacking yourself!"

“What are the benefits?”

"At least it means that Yuehua doesn't have a single hand in covering the sky!"

Zhang's mother retorted: "Will normal business mergers and acquisitions stop it? What are their reasons?"

"…Then tell me why should I rectify my Weibo?"

Zhang's mother stopped talking, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Hey, that Liu Sisi seems to be born in ballet and has a pretty innocent family background. Otherwise, let's look for her?"

"Ha..." Zhang Qinian yawned: "This is your business, don't tell me!"

"What's my business? Don't you want to hold your grandson?"

"…I still want a mistress, are you willing?"

“…Miss three?”

Zhang's mother's eyes were almost on fire...

"No, I mean I'm going to fill in the baby with a younger brother or sister..."

It’s all the fault of the times. When it comes to mistresses and little fours, everyone knows that the third ones in the family are the third ones. Now, mistresses have become synonyms for Erna, and little fours have become synonyms for a writer...

"…I'm fifty, old clams have beads, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes!"

Zhang's mother humbled herself, waiting for her husband to say some sweet words. After waiting for a long time, she didn't respond. She turned her head and looked at her. Zhang Qinian was already asleep...

Damn, Bai is excited!
