Entertainment, I just like making movies

One hundred billion!

Two hundred billion!

Three hundred billion!

Liu Zhiping, Cheng Wu, Sun Zhong, and Chen Juhong were stunned, and their thoughts were temporarily lost.

No matter how well prepared they were before arriving, they never expected that Fang Ziheng would start the topic like this, let alone call out three sets of shocking data.

It’s really bragging about not paying taxes, thinking they don’t understand anything.

Among the four of them, which one is like the programmers at Tencent headquarters who sit in the office every day?

Return 300 billion, why the hell didn’t you say 3 trillion!

The corners of Liu Zhiping's mouth twitched, he was extremely speechless, and there was an urge in his heart to get up and leave.

grass!

He didn't want to talk to Fang Ziheng anymore.

You know, Tengxun is a leading company in the Internet and is best at using data to speak for itself. Long before Xiaoma was ready to enter the film and television industry, the company's think tank had analyzed the prospects of the entire entertainment industry.

The conclusion drawn is very gratifying. If the resources of all parties are integrated and Tengxun is responsible for guiding the flow, it is entirely possible to build a large entertainment business group worth tens of billions in a few years.

There is hope for 100 billion, but it is quite difficult!

Don't look at Huayi's current market value of over 40 billion, most of which are artificially high stock prices. As long as a major movie takes a big dive, or word of mouth backfires, the stock price will fall in minutes.

Based on a variety of analysis and argumentation, Tengxun Company finally came to the conclusion that a large entertainment company in China can reach 100 billion.

This data was originally revealed by Xiao Ma himself after he met Fang Ziheng, as a tool to show off.

Now Fang Ziheng is calling out the 300 billion entertainment industry, making it clear that he looks down on Teng Xun. No one who has such a huge entertainment group under his command will be treated as a younger brother.

Almost instantly, the four of them understood Fang Ziheng's determination.

call.

Liu Zhiping let out a sullen breath and slowly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Understanding means understanding, dissatisfaction means dissatisfaction, and negotiations must continue.

Now it was Teng Xun who was begging for help, not Fang Ziheng who was begging for them. He could only let the other party show off.

Liu Zhiping was certainly not an ordinary person because he was qualified to be the CEO of Tengxun. In the blink of an eye, he found a way to break the situation.

He took out the cigarettes in his pocket, stood up and handed one to Fang Ziheng, then lit one for himself, and threw the cigarettes to Cheng Wu and Sun Zhong. Finally, Fang Rou and Chen Juhong smiled apologetically.

With a few small moves, he made it look like he couldn't stop smoking when the craving for cigarettes came.

Fang Ziheng ignored the other party's appearance of being a gentleman, lit a cigarette and took a puff, signaling Fang Rou to open the window.

Fang Rou obediently opened the two windows behind her, and a ray of cool breeze blew in, shaking the spirits of several people in the room.

The temperature in Shencheng in winter is neither cold nor hot, which is very suitable for raising people.

"With the 300 billion entertainment industry, Director Fang is so courageous!"

Liu Zhiping exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled inexplicably, returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and began to lobby for the second time.

"To be honest with Director Fang, I had a general discussion with Director Ma before coming here, and we concluded that it is just around the corner for the entertainment industry to exceed 100 billion, and 200 billion is not impossible."

"The 300 billion you mentioned may really have hope in the future."

Liu Zhiping smiled and raised his tone, matching Fang Ziheng's bragging.

Immediately, he changed the subject and said with a bit of doubt: "But Mr. Fang, don't forget, the total output value of the film market this year is only 16 billion. If you want to make it into the 300 billion industry you mentioned, at least the annual output must be A total box office of 100 billion is enough!"

"How many years will it take to achieve a total box office of 100 billion, based on the current growth rate? Ten, twenty, thirty years?"

Liu Zhiping also raised a conceptual question.

Isn’t it just bragging? Who wouldn’t!

You shouted the slogan of 300 billion, I will not refute it, I will ask you for advice, when can we achieve the head office?

Liu Zhiping was sure that Fang Ziheng was bragging before.

He didn't believe that the other party could predict the film market in the next ten or twenty years.

At this time, Cheng Wu next to him joined the conversation and assisted Liu Zhiping with a kick.

"Director Fang, you are an expert in filmmaking. I believe you have confidence in the film market and can seize the trend to create hit projects."

Cheng Wu first affirmed Fang Ziheng's ability, and then said: "However, we cannot blindly believe in the market. As the film market grows year by year and gradually matures, the development speed will inevitably become slower and slower, and even the potential will be exhausted. The market will come to the saturation period.

Taking North America as an example, the current total number of screens is 30,000, and the peak period of development has passed. It is expected to reach 50,000 total screens in three years, entering the market saturation period.

The total annual box office in North America five years ago was US$11 billion. Five years later, it has only increased by US$3 billion, and the total box office is around US$14 billion.

The real major players in North American movies are peripheral copyrights, home theaters, DVD sales, and TV on-demand. The total annual output value exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is why the eight Hollywood giants have an industry worth tens of billions.

Even so, there has never been an entertainment group worth hundreds of billions of dollars in Hollywood!

Piracy is rampant in our country, and the income from copyright is a small profit, less than one-tenth of the movie box office! "

Speaking of this, Cheng Wu sighed and persuaded: "Director Fang, judging from the size of China's film and television industry, it would be extremely difficult to achieve an output value of more than 100 billion with just one company. Only through the cooperation of multiple parties can we achieve this goal." It is only possible to integrate resources together and work in one place!”

After hearing this assist, Liu Zhiping, Sun Zhong, and Chen Juhong nodded frequently in agreement.

It's good for people to be ambitious, but you have to face reality!

Tengxun's current total market value is just over US$50 billion, which is equivalent to less than 400 billion in soft sister coins.

What will Fang Ziheng do to realize the 300 billion entertainment industry?

Bragging alone won’t do it!

The three of them were smiling on the surface, but feeling numb in their hearts, secretly scolding Fang Ziheng for suffering from delusional disorder and not knowing what the world was like.

After saying these words, Cheng Wu leaned back, crossed his legs and took a puff of cigarette.

After the initial courtesy, the four Teng Xun finally showed their fangs and turned into capital predators eyeing Fang Ziheng.

Fang Rou couldn't stand it anymore. Although she didn't quite understand the data the other party said, she knew it was time for both sides to show their sword.

Accept Teng Xun's kindness and we will become a family together!

If you don't agree, you will be your enemy from now on!

The little girl's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, she opened her phone and sent the recording to Andy.

She deliberately reminded Fang Ziheng, fearing that her young and energetic cousin would conflict with him and make the relationship stalemate.

When Lin Feifei and Andy taught her lessons, they once said that Internet giants such as Tengxun, Alibaba, and Baidu are not comparable to Hengyu at present.

It's okay for both sides to argue, but it's best not to offend if you can.

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

Fang Ziheng looked very calm, and was not disturbed by Cheng Wu's words.

After taking the last puff of his cigarette, he placed the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the coffee table, pointed to the tea cup and asked Fang Rou to add tea.

Fang Rou: "."

Brother, why are you still drinking tea? The other party is showing off his knife!

The little girl glanced sideways at Fang Ziheng, feeling extremely anxious.

Fang Ziheng gave her a warm smile, looked at the four of Teng Xun, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Zhiping, and said calmly: "Mr. Liu, you three, the biggest proof that you think Teng Xun can achieve his current size is What?"

"Of course it's the users. Our Tengxun users rank first on the Internet in China!"

Chen Juhong blurted out Teng Xun's biggest advantage and the fundamental reason for his huge size.

However, as soon as she said this, the expressions of Liu Zhiping, Cheng Wu, and Sun Zhong changed wildly, and they were no longer as calm and composed as before.

Fang Ziheng smiled, his smile full of confidence.

He took the tea handed by Fang Rou and stood up. He looked down at the four people, raised the corners of his mouth, and said boldly: "The population of China is four times that of North America. The huge demographic dividend is the basis of the 300 billion entertainment industry." certificate!"

"The same goes for Teng Xun, and the same goes for Hengyu!"

"The four figures are definitely more sensitive to numbers than Fang. There is no need for Fang to explain the details."

Teng Xun is like this, Hengyu is like this!

Calm yet harsh words sounded in the small conference room.

Fang Ziheng struck back, shocking the four of them.

Chen Juhong was dumbfounded and wished she could slap herself twice.

She didn't expect that Fang Ziheng would take advantage of her and use her words to turn the tables.

At this time, she came back to her senses and understood the meaning of Fang Ziheng's words as well as Liu Zhiping and the others.

China’s huge demographic dividend is the largest market in any industry. This is true for the Internet market and the large entertainment industry.

North America does not have an entertainment empire worth more than 100 billion, which does not mean that China does not.

Fang Ziheng's rhetorical question instantly broke the situation and interrupted the pressure of the four people.

Liu Zhiping lowered his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and extinguished the cigarette while secretly saying it was a pity.

Today, no chance!

That’s all.

I’ll find another chance next time.

He stood up and said goodbye to Fang Ziheng: "Director Fang, listening to you is worth ten years of reading. Let's talk about this today. We will meet next time."

After saying that, he reached out and shook Fang Ziheng's hand, turned around and left without any hesitation.

Cheng and Wu sighed, then stood up and said goodbye.

Fang Ziheng smiled and said nothing, winked at Fang Rou and asked her to see off the four people.

Fang Rou was a little confused, wondering why the four of them suddenly backed down.

But this is a good thing, it shows that my cousin is better, one person beat down and Teng trained four people.

She raised a bright smile and caught up with the four of them, and said crisply: "Four of you, go slowly. When you get to the imperial capital, you must come to Hengyu as a guest."

After a few people left, Fang Ziheng snapped his fingers, returned to the sofa and sat down slowly.

Teng Xun's intention today is very obvious, Zhang Yunke is much more fierce than Ali.

But it's not a big deal, it's just the soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth.

Buzz buzz...

The phone vibrated and an old song sounded.

"The world of mortals comes and goes and goes. It's all a dream. The world of mortals comes and goes and goes."

Fang Ziheng took a look and saw that it was Andy calling.

"Hey, Andy!"

When the call was connected, he realized that Fang Rou had just been playing with recording and had an extra hand.

"It's okay. Today can only be regarded as the second meeting. Just like last year when Teng Xun sent people to the company to lobby."

"It's okay, I thought you were going to see Xiaoma today!" Andy breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone.

"Why go to see him? Going there is equivalent to surrendering to Big Brother. I went there because my brain was in trouble."

"By the way, has the weekly box office in North America been released?"

"Half an hour ago, Teng Xun came out when he came to the door. If you look online, the Internet is almost noisy."

Andy chuckled and was in a good mood.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziheng opened his phone and logged into Weibo. At a glance, he saw that "Searching for the Dragon" was the top trending search in the North American market.

The bright banners are so dazzling and charming.

Below the banner, rows of movie titles and box office data were displayed, and the one at the top was "The Secret of the Dragon."

North American film market, weekly box office rankings from January 2 to January 8.

First place: "The Secret of the Dragon", which was released for nine days, with a weekly box office of US$50.3 million and a total box office of US$57.1 million.

Second place: "The Devil Within", released for seven days, with a weekly box office of US$33.73 million.

Third place: "Mission: Impossible 4", released for 23 days, with a weekly box office of US$19.87 million and a total box office of US$169.5 million.

Fourth place: "Sherlock Holmes 2", released for 23 days, with a weekly box office of US$13.69 million and a total box office of US$157 million.

Fifth place: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", which was released for 17 days, with a weekly box office of US$11.36 million and a total box office of US$76.9 million.

There are five more movies to come, and the weekly box office does not exceed 10 million US dollars. They are like weak chickens.

In addition, the box office results in Asia and other overseas regions have also been released.

In Asia, the weekly box office exceeded 80 million soft sister coins, and the total box office reached 100 million soft girls coins.

In Europe, Australia and other regions, the weekly box office was US$33 million, and the total box office was US$38 million.

Counting the gains in the second week of the mainland market.

The global weekly box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" has reached a shocking US$170 million!

$170 million!

Nearly 6 times higher than the second place "The Devil Within", it has no pressure to top the global weekly box office.

No wonder Andy said the Internet was blown up.

Not to mention other people, even Fang Ziheng himself was slightly absent-minded, showing a hint of disbelief.

What an explosion!

170 million US dollars!

Equivalent to 1.275 billion soft sister coins!

How can you be so awesome?

After thinking for a while, he figured out the source of this data.

The reason why "The Secret of the Dragon" has achieved such outstanding results is not only the strong mainland market, but also another important reason. The North American market has significantly increased the number of screens.

If it had been placed last week, "The Secret of the Dragon" would not have had this advantage, even if 20th Century Fox fully promoted it.

Last week, "Mission: Impossible 4" was booming in North America, with a box office of US$42 million in a single week. Most of the screens and films in the North American market belonged to this movie.

The Secret of the Dragon was released with US$6.82 million on the first day. At that time, "Mission: Impossible 4" had just finished harvesting the box office, and its potential was declining.

Only then did 20th Century Fox have the opportunity to promote and distribute "The Secret of the Dragon" throughout North America, winning 4,500 cinemas and 9,000 fast screens in one fell swoop.

This number of screens is 2,000 more than that of "Mission: Impossible 4".

What's even more fortunate is that "The Devil Within" is a restricted-rated movie, and the number of theaters and screens is naturally subject to certain restrictions.

None of the other movies released during the same period were blockbuster hits, and they had little potential.

This led to the good results of "Search for the Dragon" in the North American market, which reached US$50.3 million in a single week.

On the Internet, there are voices everywhere that "The Secret of the Dragon" has reached the top of the global charts.

All the major entertainment media are like crazy, praising soft articles one after another.

The People's Daily, which has just joined Weibo, also came to join in the fun. @"The Secret of the Dragon" and Fang Ziheng sent two capital letters of congratulations.

Immediately afterwards, China Film, Film Bureau, Six Princesses, and several major companies in the entertainment industry also crowded over and congratulated "The Secret of the Dragon" for its incredible achievements.

Fang Ziheng smiled and quickly replied to these Weibo accounts that were joining in the fun and gaining fans.

To be honest, since he decided that the main tomb of "The Secret of the Dragon" should be Genghis Khan, he had thought that the overseas market would recognize the film, and he also thought that it could reach the heights of "Edge of Tomorrow".

But he really didn't expect "The Secret of the Dragon" to be such a huge hit in the overseas market, and to be able to hit the weekly box office of US$82 million in one fell swoop.

Really, it’s crazy!

Downstairs of the hotel, Teng Xun and four people left in a luxury business car.

Chen Juhong looked embarrassed and said regretfully: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, it was my words just now that caused an accident in the negotiation process."

"It's not your fault, Chief Editor Chen. When Fang Ziheng asked where Teng Xun's size came from, the discussion couldn't go on."

Liu Zhiping waved his hand to stop Chen Juhong, with a faint look in his eyes, regaining his CEO demeanor.

Sun Zhong, the CEO of Tengxun Video, looked unhappy and snorted: "Three hundred billion entertainment industry, haha, this director Fang has such big ambitions. Everyone knows that China's demographic dividend has unlimited potential, but what can be gained is How many people are there?

I don't believe it. Hengyu, an unlisted company, can grab the fattest piece of meat in the 300 billion big cake. "

Sun Zhong's words were unconvincing, but he didn't notice at all that he was led astray by Fang Ziheng, and he believed in the boastful words of a 300 billion entertainment industry.

"Old Sun, it's not a question of whether we believe it or not. The key is that Fang Ziheng is sweeping the film market and eating meat with great fanfare!"

Cheng Wu raised his phone and showed the global movie weekly ranking banner at the top of Weibo to the three of them.

hiss..

Three gasps of air sounded simultaneously in the medium-sized luxury business car.

Liu Zhiping took the phone, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at the dazzling numbers at the top of the rankings, and remained silent for a long time.

Damn you, Mom!

Even God is helping Fang Ziheng brag!

After a while, Liu Zhiping cursed in his heart.

He doesn't believe in the 300-billion entertainment industry. If the market is really that big, Tengxun will acquire Hengyu Media, Huayi, Guangguang, and Bona even if it sells everything.

Cheng Wu, Sun Zhong, and Chen Juhong looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Fang Ziheng, this freak!

Not only is it respected in the mainland film market, it is also unrivaled in the global film market!
