1980 My literary era

Zhang Yimou's latest work "The Last of the Tang" was released on September 30. As Zhang Yimou's sincere work in the film industry for two years, he once again competed in the field of historical blockbusters in costumes. "The Last of the Tang" has been well-received since its inception. It has met the expectations of countless industry insiders and audiences.

In order to cooperate with the company's listing, Wenhua Film and Television spent a lot of money on publicity before the movie was released, and the news and public opinion were overwhelming.

On the first day of its release, "The Last of the Tang Dynasty" grossed 18 million at the box office, monopolizing most of the films in movie theaters across the country. Its momentum was even greater than that of "Hero".

A week later, the movie’s first-week box office results were released.

115 million yuan!

With a box office of over 100 million in a single week, "The Last of the Tang Dynasty" has accomplished a feat that no one has ever matched in the history of Chinese films.

This box office figure was quickly exposed by the media after it was released, and the domestic film industry fell into a state of speechlessness.

Two years ago, "Hero" pushed the box office record of Chinese movies to 300 million, making countless filmmakers feel helpless with no hope of catching up in this life.

The release of "Titanic" a year ago raised this record again to 364 million yuan. On the contrary, everyone feels that this number does not look so scary, because with the "Hero" Zhuyu in front, everyone always believes that Chinese filmmakers will create myths again.

But no one expected that the myth would come so quickly.

"The Last Tang" has a box office of 105 million in a single week. It seems that it should be effortless to break the 300 million box office of "Heroes". It is not impossible to break the 364 million box office of "Titanic".

Within two years, the box office exceeded 300 million.

These filmmakers and film and television companies don't know whether to call Zhang Yimou awesome or Wenhua Film and Television.

In short, they are all awesome, so awesome that they can only look up to them.

After the first week's box office of "The Last Tang Dynasty" was released, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which was closed for a week due to National Day, reopened.

On October 8, about half an hour after the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened, Wenhua Film and Television's stock price reached its daily limit.

In the next three days, stimulated by the positive box office performance of "The Last of the Tang Dynasty", Wenhua Film and Television's stock price rose three times in a row, with the stock price as high as 35.4 yuan per share, an increase of more than 200% compared to the original issuance pricing.

At the same time, the market value of Wenhua Film and Television is approaching 10 billion.

Yu Dong's words of "reaching a market value of tens of billions within two years" on the day of listing were frantically slapped in the face by the market just over a week later, but he was very happy with this slap in the face.

Cultural Film and Television has successfully completed its listing, its stock price has soared, and its market value has soared. This is good news for Guowen Group.

In addition to the benefits at the group level, the ones who have gained the most are of course the many employees who subscribed to Wenhua shares.

In less than a month, the stocks that employees originally subscribed for for less than 6 yuan suddenly rose to 35.4 yuan, an increase of nearly 6 times.

The stocks subscribed by these employees ranged from 400 shares to thousands or tens of thousands of shares. For example, Wenhua's senior executives and backbones each subscribed to tens of thousands of shares.

Within ten days after Wenhua Film and Television went public, 11 millionaires were created, and as many as 215 people in the entire group made tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands through stocks.

Even the ordinary employees who subscribed the least amount of stocks have made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan due to the crazy rise in the stock price of Wenhua Film and Television. This windfall may be more than half a year's salary for ordinary working-class people.

This is a feast of wealth!

Those employees who chose to give up at the beginning of the subscription due to various psychological reasons, looked at those employees celebrating this, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and at the same time they were filled with a feeling of envy and jealousy.

Within Guowen Group, there are people with more complicated emotions than them.

That is those employees who were greedy for small gains and sold the stocks they obtained to Feng Xiaogang at a low price.

The stock was sold at a discount and made a few hundred dollars, but in the end it was a loss of tens of thousands.

What a loss!

In the week after the National Day, the atmosphere within the Mandarin Group was extremely tense. Most of the topics discussed by employees every day revolved around the stock price of Wenhua Film and Television.

Among the many employees who regretted it, Yu Hua felt particularly special.

He subscribed for the initial shares, and he even had the foresight to use Mo Yan's share to buy another 5,000 shares.

Now that the stock price of Wenhua Film and Television has increased several times, he has also earned more than 100,000 yuan.

Logically speaking, he should be happy. After all, the small treasury has never been more abundant.

But he just couldn't be happy.

If he had not chosen to use his private money to buy the 5,000 shares of Mo Yan out of selfish motives, but had honestly discussed with his wife Cheng Hong to use the money to buy the remaining 41,000 shares of Mo Yan, then now he would have become a hundred He is the millionaire.

Pain, regret, self-blame... these emotions filled Yu Hua's heart, especially every night when he returned home, his wife Cheng Hong told him how much Wenhua Film and Television's stock had risen and how much he had earned for those 2,000 shares. This emotion becomes even stronger when you feel complacent about having tens of thousands of dollars.

As a result, Yu Hua worked extra hard when collecting food, which made Cheng Hong wonder if he had done something bad.

After finally getting over his wife's suspicion, Yu Hua had to face Mo Yan, his sworn friend.

Logically speaking, Yu Hua bought the stocks that Mo Yan didn't buy. He should be happy to laugh at Mo Yan, but he didn't buy them all.

As for Mo Yan, he perfectly avoided the chance of becoming a millionaire and gave the wealth he got to Yu Hua. Although the gift was not much, it was still a gift after all. Although he wanted to laugh at Yu Hua's failed speculation, he felt depressed when he thought that he would also be laughed at by Yu Hua.

In the end, the two were disgusted with each other and decided not to see each other in the past two months to avoid hurting each other.

The impact of the listing of Wenhua Film and Television on Guowen Group continues, and the box office of "The Last of the Tang Dynasty" is also booming.

After taking in a box office of 115 million yuan in the first week, "The Last Tang Dynasty" once again made a box office of 108 million yuan in the second week, with a total box office of 223 million yuan in the two weeks of release.

Breaking the box office record of "Heroes" is already a certainty. Even "Titanic", a ship that swept the world, may not be able to hold on for long. Anyone who cares about Chinese movies no longer doubts this.

Time flies by and it’s mid-November.

"The Last Tang Dynasty" has been in theaters for six weeks. With the release of the sixth week's box office, the film's cumulative box office has reached 380 million yuan, officially breaking the Chinese film box office record set by "Titanic" last year.

At the same time, this record will continue to be refreshed with the continued release of "The Last Tang Dynasty".

However, after all, this film has been released for a month and a half. Piracy has already been rampant and its potential has been basically exhausted. The only suspense is whether it can break the 400 million box office mark.

After the release of "The Last of the Tang Dynasty", Wenhua Film and Television's stock went through three daily limits, then rose and fell, and has maintained a stable trend during this period.

It wasn't until the news that the movie broke the record of "Titanic" was published in the newspapers that the stock price of Wenhua Film and Television rose again, and there was a wave of positive news.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the daily limit, the increase of more than 6% for two consecutive days has brought the stock price of Wenhua Film and Television to close to 40 yuan per share, and the market value has also successfully exceeded the 10 billion mark.

The stock price of Wenhua Film and Television has soared, and the most intuitive change brought to Guowen Group is that this winter, the number of employees of Guowen Group to pick up cars suddenly increased.

Alto, Santana, Jetta...

In more than a month, the street cars of the 1990s appeared one after another in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, making many employees talk about it.

Today, Guo Xu from the Foreign Languages ​​Department drove a brand new Xiali to work and instantly became the most handsome guy in the Chinese Language Club.

According to statistics from concerned people, during this period, the average private car ownership rate of employees jumped from 5‰ to 2.5%, an increase of up to 500%.

Although the frequency of private cars in the group has increased rapidly in the past month, everyone was still surprised that Guo Xugang drove Xiali.

Guo Xugang is a middle-aged editor and a backbone of the foreign language department. A few years ago, he moved to other places because of financial constraints at home.

But now, he has become one of the first people in the Chinese Literature Society to drive a car. This change is really surprising.

"Okay, Xu Gang, the stocks haven't been sold yet, so you bought the car first?"

A circle of colleagues surrounded Guo Xugang's Xia Li, so naturally he was teased by everyone.

"The stocks are just sitting there, and they can't run away. I've wanted to buy a car for a long time. It's convenient for going to work and picking up the kids."

The brand new Xiali made Guo Xugang particularly confident when he spoke.

"I really didn't realize that your family background is so rich!"

Many employees of the Chinese Publishing House have bought shares of Wenhua Film and Television, but the stock price has continued to rise, and the ban has not yet been lifted. Many colleagues have picked up cars these days, which only proves that they have saved a lot of money. Some family background.

"My family doesn't have much money, so I borrowed 20,000 from a relative to buy this car."

"How much does it cost to buy your car?"

"76,000." Guo Xugang replied.

Guo Xugang did not hide the fact that he borrowed money to buy a car, but said it openly. The stocks in his hands were his confidence. Some time ago, during the stock subscription, Guo Xugang could subscribe for 2,000 shares based on his qualifications and position. The stock price had risen so much that he just earned a Xiali.

He has a plan in mind. Even if the stock price drops later, it doesn't matter. It won't be worth 20,000 yuan, right?

"That's really not expensive."

"I want to get one."

Colleagues are talking about Guo Xugang's new car, and many of them are ready to move.

Lin Weimin stood in front of the office window and looked at the crowd downstairs, frowning.

The employees of the group still lack financial knowledge. The stocks have not been cashed out yet, and the car was backed up quickly.

Of course it's not that he has no confidence in his company, but he's not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it can obviously be more secure.

However, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart, especially after seeing Guo Xugang pick up the car, and recalling the time when he went back and forth to make a living.

Unknowingly, Lin Weimin's actions have changed the fate of many people.
