China Film Conference Room.
More than a dozen company executives were talking to each other. Some were pointing at the documents in their hands and talking endlessly. Some were looking at the reports in front of them and making lofty remarks. Some were holding their mobile phones and showing the people next to them some new information. It was such a lively scene. scene!
Everyone has different looks and different things, but the same thing is that everyone has a smile on their face at this moment.
“从2011年到2013年，这三年公司的营收分别是62.78亿元、84.03亿元和84.27亿元，这个营收数据，募集80亿元资金应该问题不大。”
"The weighted return on equity in the past three years has been 23.83%, 21.23% and 13.29% respectively. After 2012, China Film Group no longer receives the income from the specific business of being entrusted with the film import link, so the net profit attributable to the parent company will inevitably decline, which has a negative impact on the company's The listing plan is actually unfavorable.”
"The impact of private investment on the production and theater business is becoming more and more serious. From the perspective of theater business, China Film Group has lagged far behind Wanda Cinema."
"There are many people out there who are badmouthing us!"
"The monopoly business has shrunk severely due to policy reasons, but fortunately the company has maintained a very good cooperative relationship with Huashang Media in recent years."
Yes, if we take a closer look at China Film's development over the years, we are indeed facing many severe challenges.
At the policy level, part of the revenue from imported films that used to be monopolized by China Film was shared by China Film. In 2012, China and the United States signed a "Memorandum of Understanding", which doubled the share of Hollywood blockbusters in China, and the quota for imported films was also increased from 20. to 34 movies, and China Film also gave up the profits from specific links.
At the market level, China Film Co., Ltd. is facing an increasingly fierce impact from private companies.
In terms of theater chains, in recent years, China Film has not only lost to Wanda Cinema, but has also been surpassed by Lianhe Cinema, a subsidiary of Moying. Unfortunately, it has been relegated to third place in the market.
China Film is facing many challenges at the moment, which can be described as internal and external troubles. However, at this time, the company is still confident in seeking to raise funds from the magic certificate. I am afraid that a large part of the source of its confidence is that they and Huashang Media have always maintained good relationship.
This is why everyone in the conference room is currently discussing the challenges the company is facing, but unusually, everyone has a smile on their face.
China Film Group participated in the investment, and its share is not small. The premiere box office of "Interstellar" was 4.32 million yuan. The single-day box office in the mainland broke the historical record and increased to 4 million levels. This kind of achievement is enough to make investment in normal times. The face of China Film Group is blooming with joy, not to mention the critical moment when the company is seeking to go public? !
There is no doubt that the better "Interstellar" sells, the smoother China Film's road to listing will be!
After a while, a 54-year-old man walked into the conference room. The conference room immediately became quiet. The visitor glanced at him and saw that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, so he sat down at the main seat in the conference room.
"Now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting!"
The visitor's name is Pei Kang, the new chairman of China Film Co., Ltd. Chairman Han Sanping, who turned 60 years ago, has officially announced his retirement.
"Before discussing the company's listing plan, let's talk about the premiere performance of "Interstellar" first. Has everyone seen this movie?" Pei asked with a smile.
"Chairman, we have all watched it in advance. We were the first to see the film before it was reviewed."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Pei Kang continued with a smile: "Watching it inside the company and watching it in the theater are completely different experiences. I went to the theater to watch it in person yesterday. To be honest, I was shocked by the scene. "Interstellar" 》The pre-sale box office is extremely high, everyone knows this, so before I went to the theater, I had expected that the attendance rate would be very high, and the flow of people in the theater would also be very large, but I still did not expect that it would be that big. It can be said that The audience’s enthusiasm for watching the movie has been completely aroused.”
At this time, a female vice president laughed and said: "My daughter sent me a video yesterday. The theater was really crowded. My daughter said that many people not only went there simply for the quality of the movie, but also wanted to be in the theater. Take a good look at the couple Li Mu and Liu Yifei. They just received their certificates a few days ago, and the process caused a sensation throughout China. Now a blockbuster starring the two is about to be released. For many people, "Interstellar" It’s a movie they can’t miss no matter what.”
Then a fat male executive wearing glasses laughed and said: "The Spring Festival's "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the May Day "Space Rescue", and now "Interstellar", these movies exist, our company The performance is much better.”
The smile on Pei Kang's face became brighter. He had just taken over the company from Chairman Han Sanping, and the three films the company had previously invested in had achieved incredible results one after another.From a time point of view, these three films were all projects invested by Han Sanping when he was chairman. However, from a practical point of view, Han Sanping has retired, and naturally most of the credit for these three films will fall on him.
"I was thinking at the beginning of the year, and I didn't know when the next movie with a box office of over 30 billion would be released - it turns out that it will only take half a year." Pei Kang laughed.
Another vice president also laughed and said: "The first-day box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is far inferior to the current "Interstellar". "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has already received a box office of 33 billion. I watched "Interstellar" "Time Travel" is very likely to create a new history again!"
"A whole new history? How much do you mean?"
"You don't know how much I mean? You, Lao Li, are a genius!"
"You are not talking about 35 billion, are you? It is indeed very possible at present. It will exceed 4 million on the first day. It should not be a big problem to break 10 billion in the first three days of the weekend. It is entirely possible that the final box office will be around 35 billion."
"Lao Zhang, are you pretending to be confused? Is the number I mentioned 35 billion in your mind?"
"Me? Yes, there is a number. I just feel that--that number is a bit hot. Can it really exceed 40 billion?"
"You said that "Interstellar" can earn 40 billion. In fact, I think it is unlikely. But if you look at the first-day box office, according to the previous formula, there is a very high possibility of reaching 40 billion in new history."
"The final box office of "Interstellar", even if it is not 40, is definitely 37 or 38!"
Chairman Pei Kang said with a red face: "When Li Mu and his wife return to China, we will invite him to come to China Film to discuss the project. Then we will find more media. Whether "Interstellar" will get 35 billion or 40 billion is of course important, but these No market thinks it is important that our China Film Group and Li Mu’s Hua Shang are highly bound. However, we must make it clear to Chairman Li Mu in advance and don’t make him feel uncomfortable just because of this matter. That would be like picking up a lost watermelon. Where’s the sesame seeds?”
"Chairman, don't worry. When Chairman Li Mu arrives, if he wants to fish, I will dive and put fish on his hook!"
"Hahaha……"
One sentence made everyone in the conference room laugh.
……
In the next few days, "Interstellar" performed very well in the mainland market.
After taking in a box office of 4.32 million yuan on the first day, it also took in a box office of 4.71 million yuan and 4.45 million yuan on the second and third days respectively.
The day after the film was released happened to be a Saturday, and the box office on that day also surged without any suspense. The single-day box office was 4.71 million yuan. Not only did it once again set a new single-day box office record, it was also shocking!
Is today’s box office aiming for 5 million in a single day? !
When the final figure was fixed at 4.71 million yuan, many colleagues even took a deep breath.
Everyone is really afraid that "Interstellar" will really break the 5 million record regardless of it. It's not that Li Mu and Hua Shang Media are displeased. The most important thing is that the figure of 5 million in a single day is really shocking to everyone. It's too serious.
"Is this the real world? The real world has reached the level of 5 million in a single day? Am I dreaming?"
This is probably the above mentality.
Fortunately, the single-day box office of "Interstellar" did not continue to rise on the third day, but dropped slightly to 4.45 million yuan.
From the 11th to the 13th, in three days, the cumulative box office was 13.46 billion yuan!For a time, the news media reported wildly.
"Three days, 13.46 billion, the next step may be the moment to witness a miracle!"
"Three months before "Interstellar" was released, netizens were saying that it would be difficult for "Interstellar" to break the record set by "The Richest Man in Xihong City". What if we watch it now?"
"'Interstellar' is really not a film of the same level as 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'. The overseas box office of 'The Richest Man in Xihong City' is negligible, while 'Interstellar' is destined to take the world by storm!"
...Bernard Company, Chairman's Office.
"Hahaha……"
Chairman Yu Dong's hearty laughter could be heard in the office. At this moment, he was discussing a business with a very important client. Naturally, he had to talk about daily life during this period, which also enhanced the atmosphere.
Outside the office, Bernard's employees were also whispering about the gradual change in their chairman's speaking style in recent years.
"Hey, what do you think the chairman was talking about just now? Why is he so happy?"
"I don't know, but I heard that the chairman has become more and more fond of chatting with people about some of the interesting things that happened when he and Li Mu came into contact in recent years."
"It's true. In the past, Chairman Yu Dong's favorite thing to talk about was that he brought movie copies with him and drank one cup after another while arranging the film. Now the chairman really likes to talk about his cooperation with Li Mu."
"Not only our chairman, but Wang Changtian from Guangxian, Wang Zhongjun from Huayi, and Yan Yiyun from Xiying - which of these big bosses doesn't talk about their close relationship with Li Mu? Just because Li Mu is now If there is news that someone has a bad relationship with him, it is no exaggeration to say that the company’s valuation will be affected!”
"Hey, Li Mu and Huayi Brothers used to have a very close relationship. Why have they made fewer and fewer films together in the past two years? Isn't there some rift?"
"I don't know if there are any cracks, but I know that Huayi Brothers' stock price has been greatly affected in the past two years."
"This wave of "Interstellar" earned 13.46 billion in three days. Needless to say, our company's performance this year will definitely not be wrong!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it’s July 7th, which happens to be the day when this week’s North American box office charts are released.
Ranking No. 1 is Twentieth Century Fox's "Dawn for the Planet of the Apes", which grossed US$2 million over the three-day weekend.
In second place is "Interstellar" produced by Huashang Media, which grossed a total of US$5732 million at the box office over the three days of the weekend.
In third place is "Transformers 4" produced by Paramount, with $1650 million over the three-day weekend.
It is a pity that "Interstellar" is just a little bit lower than "War for the Planet of the Apes: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", and just a little bit short of being able to win this week's weekend championship.
In 2011, "War for the Planet of the Apes", with a production cost of only US$1 million, earned US$9300 million in the North American market alone, which greatly exceeded market expectations. In the film, Caesar roared "for the first time" NO", countless movie fans were even shocked to the point of having their scalps numb.
Now "War for the Planet of the Apes" has once again landed in North America with a revenue of 2 million U.S. dollars. The first weekend result of 1.7 million U.S. dollars was not very good, but the feat of head-on defeating director Li Mu's new film "Interstellar" was still praised by countless Americans. Audiences are talking about it.
"How can an American Hollywood blockbuster finally beat director Li Mu to be talked about? It shows that in the hearts of old and American audiences, it is very rare to beat Li Mu."
In fact, the original "War for the Planet of the Apes" grossed more than 2 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend, but at that time, "War for the Planet of the Apes" did not have a strong opponent like "Interstellar."
……
Xijing, conference room of Xiying Film Studio.
Xiying Studio was originally not considered Li Mu’s natal family, but in the early days, Li Mu wanted to find a backer for himself, and Xiying also wanted to gain some exposure to Li Mu, a young talent. Even if it is acquiesced, after so many years, even if it was not the first time, now it is really called her mother's family.
A kiss is also a kiss, right?
As the head of Li Mu's family, factory director Yan Yiyun has been supporting Li Mu for free all year round. Li Mu reciprocated the favor and naturally gave him a share of the investment.
So to this day, most of the films invested by Huashang have a small share of Xi Film Studio. The difference is just the size of the share.
The "Interstellar" project that is currently in theaters naturally has a share of West Film Studio, so the leadership of West Film Studio is still very concerned about the box office performance of this film.
"'Interstellar' is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It only grossed over US$5700 million in its first weekend. It feels seriously underestimated."
"Yes, the key point is that "War for the Planet of the Apes" actually had a higher box office than "Interstellar". Do you think a movie with a group of apes as the protagonists is really that good? Anyway, no matter how I look at it, "Interstellar" is better. "
“It’s really such a pity that we were just a little short of winning the opening weekend championship by just $2!”
"Back then, "Gravity" won the weekend box office championship for five consecutive weeks. Now, a masterpiece like "Interstellar" hasn't even won a single championship. How can you explain it?"
At this time, factory director Yan Yiyun finally spoke:
"Okay, okay, don't be sorry. The weekend champion in North America is just like that. The key still depends on the final box office. This is the most important. The weekend box office of more than 1000 million US dollars will win the championship. Is this kind of Is the winner with $1000 million more powerful than the runner-up with $5700 million like "Interstellar"?"
In the conference room, the senior executives of Xiying nodded after hearing this. Then at this moment, a relatively younger man shook his mobile phone and said:
"The latest news is that the box office data for the North American market from the 11th to the 13th has been revised. "Interstellar" has been increased by US$5 to a final figure of US$5737 million. "War for the Planet of the Apes" has remained unchanged. The final data shows "Interstellar" is the real box office champion this weekend, and the data of "Interstellar" is about $2 higher than "War for the Planet of the Apes"!"
"The data has been corrected?" Yan Yiyun was stunned, and then walked directly behind the relatively younger senior executive, "Where is the news? Isn't it a mistake?"
As a result, when he saw that this was indeed the case, the smile on Yan Yiyun's face became obviously brighter.
"Let me just say, for a movie as good as Interstellar, it would be a real pity if it couldn't even win the weekend box office title."
Several of the other senior executives below couldn't help but pout.
Who just said that being the top weekend box office winner in North America means nothing?
The results of it?
After hearing this data correction, "Interstellar" can win the championship again, and it will fall out faster than anyone else?Is it meaningful to be the North American weekend box office champion for an instant?
……
North America.
Li Mu washed Liu Yifei's hair and handed her the towel.
"It looks like we have to fly to South Korea."
"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei asked as he took the towel and wiped his hair.
Li Mu laughed and said: "Who would have thought that South Korea has such a small population of just over 5000 million. As a result, our "Interstellar" has attracted more than 200 million Korean viewers into the theater within three days of its release. Now South Korea It is already the third largest market for "Interstellar" after the mainland and North America, and South Korea's distribution department strongly requested us to go there, saying that it will definitely significantly improve the film's box office performance in South Korea."
Li Mu is quite happy in Korea.
