China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Future Star Animation will cooperate with DreamWorks Animation and Paramount to establish Oriental DreamWorks in China.

If the cooperation is reached, future animated films of Stars will be endorsed by DreamWorks Animation.

Furthermore, the distribution of DreamWorks Animation movies in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan will only be handled by Oriental DreamWorks. Their movies are very good, such as the "Shrek" series, "Madagascar" series, etc., which are all high-box office movies. .

In this way, Star Animation's works will have a fair market competition environment in North America to the greatest extent in the future. At the same time, Star Animation, which has the distribution key of DreamWorks, will also be given a huge boost when it is listed on the mainland in the future.

As for Xingchen Headquarters, it will naturally deepen its cooperation with Summit.

Dingfeng is about to go public, so Xingchen will not work with others, just focus on cooperating with Dingfeng.

If Xingchen's movies want to enter North America, they still need to be handled by Peak, and then distributed by big companies such as Paramount or Universal.

The same is true in the Mainland, where the top works of Stars will be distributed.

In this way, the two companies can assist each other in their subsequent listings in their respective countries.

The Star Headquarters can still maintain its independence.

Independence is important.

Nowadays, North America is the biggest box office for Stars, especially for animated movies, so many things cannot go around them.

However, its own global ledger distribution channels are also gradually growing.

In fact, this time "Kung Fu Panda" is a global hit.

In addition to gains in cultural output, super IP, box office profits, etc., Xingchen's biggest gain is the group of international film producers gathered through this cooperation.

Everyone is very realistic.

If I make money by cooperating with you, I can of course deepen our cooperation in the future.

So in the future, as long as Lu Ping An maintains the high quality of his works all the way.

Xingchen has a distribution channel that is unique to other mainland companies and second only to Hollywood, and is just around the corner.

Xingchen's ability to resist risks can also be greatly enhanced in the future.

Of course, as I said before, you cannot rely entirely on others for many things.

And all the operations under the movie are just to ensure that the movie can achieve its due popularity.

On this basis, the most important thing is actually the movie itself.

If a movie is good, it's just a matter of making more money or less.

If the movie is bad, then of course everything will end.

It's just that this is what Lu Ping'an is least worried about.

The subsequent negotiations continued all the way, and Xiang Guoqiang was responsible for the negotiations.

Then wait until Christmas Eve, December 24, for everything to be finalized.

It has been two weeks since "Kung Fu Panda" was released in North America.

At this time, the North American box office of "Kung Fu Panda" has reached 160 million US dollars, and the total box office has reached 650 million US dollars.

It is still an achievement that exceeds expectations.

The main reason is that the quality of the movies in the same period is average, and there are more movies with big thunder and small rain.

There is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the North American market is booming this year!

In 2007, the annual box office in the North American market exceeded 10 billion US dollars, the highest record in history. At the same time, it will be several hundred million higher than next year. After all, there will be a financial crisis next year.

Coupled with various factors such as Lu Ping'an's direction, Cheng Long's endorsement, and global success, it is only natural that the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" is higher than that of the original film!

North American media soon released predictions, saying that after the three-month release cycle of "Kung Fu Panda", it would not be a big problem for the North American box office to exceed 250 million.

This figure ranks ninth on the North American box office list in 2007, second only to the 260 million of "I Am Legend" in the same period.

But it is unusual for animated movies. It can directly become the fifth highest-grossing animated movie in global film history!

So after the domestic media reprinted it, the people rejoiced again.

Colleagues are also very happy.

For example, Huayi and Big Kings.

"Kung Fu Panda" was a hit at the box office, proving itself especially in North America.

Global IP has been formed.

Lu Ping'an's reputation has soared, and Cheng Long has also enjoyed many benefits.

For this reason, the big and small king acid is definitely sour.

But also because of the popularity of Panda, it also promoted the international market of kung fu-themed and Chinese-language films.

In other words, it will allow international film producers to regain their confidence in Chinese-language commercial films internationally.

Therefore, "The King of Kung Fu", which followed the trends of "Kung Fu", "Cheng Long" and "Chinese commercial blockbusters", directly increased its overseas net worth.

So much so that some radical Hollywood media directly raised the box office prospects of "The King of Kung Fu" from 800 million to 1 billion!

$1 billion!

The little king is crazy!

Then we directly decided to hold off on the price negotiation for the outright issuance. We can’t sell it out so early. It’s best to learn how to be safe and divide the accounts this time!

Back when "Source Code" was released, Lu Ping An had split accounts and made a lot of money!

Now why can't we?

The estimated box office is 1 billion!

If you don’t share the accounts, won’t everyone else earn it?

So it must be divided.

And the advantage is mine!

Also very happy is Chengtian.

The international community is once again optimistic about Chinese-language commercial blockbusters.

"Red Cliff" also gets a lot of dividends.

Then we also began to consider the issue of splitting accounts and actively communicated with Huayi.

Of course, the happiest thing about the "Red Cliff" project is the Hong Kong and Taiwan capital behind John Woo.

After all, who is "Red Cliff" celebrating?

Why are mainland actors used to carry Hong Kong and Taiwan's sedan chairs?

This is all for a purpose.

When the time comes, the better the movie sells, the better the goal will be achieved.

In this regard, John Woo is still confident.

After all, in his opinion, he has also been a director in Hollywood.

How could he not know what the global market likes to see?

This wave, he will definitely come back strong!

Colleagues have their own ideas.

People from Xingchen’s own company had no intention of paying attention to them.

Because everyone is immersed in excitement.

Xingchen is about to be launched!

So now, what everyone is most concerned about is actually the issue of personal worth.

News about preparations for listing actually circulated a few months ago.

At that time, the market had already made rough valuation predictions for Xingchen.

Some say 1 billion, some say 2 billion, and some say 3 billion.

Take 1 billion as an example. Xiao Wang, who has just been working at the front desk for three months, did the math himself.

If you can survive until the day of listing, once the options you can get are converted, you will have at least hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, many people in the company feel that this valuation is low, and it is too undervalued!

You must know that Xingchen’s annual operating income now exceeds 1 billion.

This year, "Huan Tai" alone has more than 700 million.

In addition, "Kung Fu Panda" is a globally popular IP.

A mere valuation of 1 billion is certainly unreasonable.

But they don’t understand the capital market, and it doesn’t matter what they say, so they have to use the lowest standards to fantasize first.

So Xiao Wang quickly started fishing. He opened the webpage and looked at the down payment for housing prices within the Fourth Ring Road. Then he checked it out and continued to look at cars worth around 200,000 yuan.

It's only a few hundred thousand, which is certainly a lot in this era, but it's still very difficult for the housing prices in Beijing, so Xiao Wang thinks it's best to buy a car. As for a house, the price may be reduced in the future, and it can't be increased several times. Well, how can we still live?

But this action didn't last for a few days.

Soon Xingchen officially announced various cooperation plans with DreamWorks Animation in the future.

At this time, Xingchen’s valuation jumped sharply.

The lowest valuation has increased from 1 billion to about 2.5 billion, and the highest valuation has reached 5 billion.

For Xiao Wang, hundreds of thousands turned into millions. Now, Xiao Wang finally looked at the house.

However, even if it is 5 billion, some people still think it is low.

Such as a safe road.

He knew that Huayi was so messed up that its market value reached nearly 100 billion at its peak, and Huayi's single-year profit that year was less than 1 billion.

It's impossible for Xingchen to be worse than them in the future.

So a mere 5 billion is definitely low!

The initial valuation must be as high as possible.

We can't just let those blood suckers eat up all the bonuses.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

The listing process has not officially started yet, and it will take a long time after it starts.

Just take your time.

Anyway, the first share of private film and television must be his, and no one can take it away.
