Chapter 280 Different Ideas (5/5)

Huang Zhongjun, born in 1960, is a child from a large courtyard. He is generous and has been influenced by "art" since childhood. He "has his own feelings" about film, painting and architecture.

The result of the combination of the spirit of the martial arts and the spirit of the scholars is that Huang Zhongjun regards the movie as a stage to win over his connections.

Unlike the heads of other film and television companies, Huang Zhongjun has always liked to deal with entrepreneurs outside the entertainment industry and frequently participated in various entrepreneur gatherings.

It should be at the end of 2006 that Huang Zhongjun met Lao Ma at the "Chinese Entrepreneurs Club". He walked together because of his common hobby of collecting artworks, and then he appreciated each other.

According to "Business People", every time Lao Ma goes to Beijing, the two of them will "secretly meet", while Huang Zhongjun lives at Lao Ma's house every time he goes to Hangzhou.

Huang Zhongjun, who is good at managing circles, also developed Lao Ma into a business partner.

In 2007, Lao Ma invested in Huayi Brothers as his personal capacity.

With Lao Ma's endorsement, Yunfeng Fund, Wanxiang Group, and Focus Media founder Jiang Nanchun also joined the Huayi Brothers' shareholder team.

Later, Lao Ma also led the three companies of Ali, Tencent and China Ping An to jointly invest 3.6 billion yuan in cash in Huayi Brothers, creating the most glorious moment in the film and television industry.

Old Huang is in the circle.

Making movies is not the purpose!

After going public, he began to de-film and transform into investment...

The use of capital leverage to acquire, cash out and make profits in the game industry has become the economic growth pole that Huayi Brothers focuses on building.

Compared with the bleak movie business, Huayi Brothers is expanding in other aspects, investing in games, operating IP, real-life entertainment, theater construction, Internet entertainment, etc., and Huayi is present.

After Huayi went public, the movie basically never made any money - except for the movie "Journey to the West", their financial reports were made by Zhangqu Technology, which they invested in before...

After just four years of hard work, Huayi finally became less like a film company or an entertainment company, but more like a group that looks extremely bloated before growing up, with a little bit of business...

This is the biggest difference between him and Boss Lu!

Boss Lu never gets into circles, nor can he say he doesn't get into circles, but his circle is relatively small, and there are no rich people or celebrities...

Once celebrities become famous, there will be a bunch of celebrities. Rich people are willing to meet you, call you brothers, travel with you, or even share wine pools, meat forests, and supermodels of fragrant cars...

If Boss Lu is willing, of course it can be.

He doesn't like this!

The two companies started differently. Huang Zhongjun said in an interview: "Why did we succeed in the movie? It is based on 'big production, big money and big names in film and television!'"

So, they will deeply bind celebrities!

By acquiring celebrity cooperation companies at high premiums and signing betting agreements to deeply bundle resources.

Of course, there is no problem with this model when the stars are highlighting, but once the star's value drops, it will deeply affect the company!

Lu Xiaoran's Orange directly revoked the brokerage department and did not sign brokerage contracts with any celebrities...

Orange movies started with low-cost movies. In addition to "Treasure Hunt Alliance", the biggest investment in the series of works released so far is "Source Code"'s 90 million yuan, which is not Orange's main control investment...

Also, Lu Xiaoran never cashes out from the stock market!

Huang Zhongjun cashed out more than 500 million yuan in three months, and the explanation given by Huayi Brothers was that the chairman "is caused by his children's work, personal finance, and investment in new projects."

Faced with the question of reducing holdings and cashing out, Huang Zhongjun responded with confidence, "I want to live too. The salary I received in the company is only hundreds of thousands. I am also a very cost-effective person. I can't survive without selling stocks, and I don't have that much energy to continue working for shareholders."

It has to be sighed that Huang Zhongjun, who is so poor that he is eager to cash out 500 million yuan in the stock market, spent 377 million to buy a famous Van Gogh painting some time ago, which shocked the industry!

In the following two years, Huang Zhongjun spent 185 million to capture Picasso's famous painting "A woman sitting in a bun" and bought Zeng Gong's "Journal of the Story" for 207 million...

This is the right way for billionaires to open!

In comparison, Lu Xiaoran’s five properties in Beijing, three properties in Shanghai, three properties in Xi’an, and two properties in Hangzhou are nothing!

Lu Wubai, who only knows how to stock up on houses!

...

Huang Zhongjun shook hands with Lu Xiaoran enthusiastically and said, "Dr. Lu is here to ride a horse, too?"

"...I was caught by a friend. Let me introduce you to Cao Binkun, a particularly outstanding actor!"

Huang Zhongjun looked at Cao Binkun and said in confusion: "Cao Binkun? You have acted in "The Hidden"?

Cao Binkun nodded: "Yes, Mr. Huang has also watched "The Hidden"?"

"Well, I watched it a few years ago, a very good TV series."

"Thanks!"

"I heard that "Luxing" is the work of screenwriter Lu?"

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "No, I'm trying to help Teacher Jiang Wei, he is the chief screenwriter."

"That's also very powerful. I heard that at that time, Dong Lu was only in his twenties?"

"Haha... Maybe it's a hobby, I just like to write some stories..."

"I can't do it anymore, I can only draw."

After chatting for a few words, Huang Zhongjun said goodbye, and Lu Xiaoran watched him leave...

Cao Binkun whispered: "I thought you two would start arguing!"

"Strange?"

"The Dragon King of the God Capital" and the Moon!"

“…You’re thinking too much!”

"I heard that theaters have begun to suppress "Moon"!"

Lu Xiaoran: "That doesn't matter to him. I guess he doesn't even know what the plot of "Divine Capital Dragon King" is. Why do you argue with me? Order the food!"

It's not nonsense. After Huayi went public, Huang Zhongjun basically never cared about movies.

He has a nickname of "China's Lazy Ceo". He is used to getting up at 11 o'clock and not going to work in the morning. He believes that the chairman of a company should not have a daily workload...

Cao Binkun curled his lips, picked up the iPad and started ordering...

Boss Lu was thinking about Huayi's layout and then reflected on whether the path of Orange was right.

The business model of an excellent film company should be like this: every year there are fixed works that can be released in theaters, and the next year, 3 or even 5 years will be planned in advance.

After a good work gets a high box office return in the market, it will continue to invest the earned capital in the main business of film and television, lock in excellent creatives, cultivate new directors and screenwriters, and buy copyrights.

Instead of investing in games, abusing funds to buy famous paintings, or something - it is not that you cannot invest, the investment business should be helpful to the main business.

Only in this way can a positive cycle be formed, bring good works to the audience, leave classic works to the film and television industry, bring enough cash flow to the company, and bring new atmosphere to the film and television industry.

This is the way Orange is now on!

Orange's movie plan has been around for three years.

Huayi...the path is wrong!

After coming back to his senses, Lu Xiaoran looked at Cao Binkun: "Old Cao, I want to make a new movie. Come and help me play a role!"

"Okay, when will the film be taken?"

“…wait for a week.”

"Yes, give me the script!"

"Um."

Lao Cao didn't ask about the plot or characters at all, and he agreed directly. He knew that Lu Xiaoran would not cheat him...

The new movie director Lu is preparing to start filming is of course "Detective Chinatown". In addition to Wang Baobao + Zhang Xincheng, other supporting roles, such as Kun Tai, Huang Langdon, Tony, Lee, and the robbery trio...

Lao Cao is the one who is Kun Tai, Huang Langdeng is the one who is handed over to Chen Teng, Li, of course it is Pan Yueming;

Robbery trio: Allen, Yin Xiaotian and Wei Xiang…

Other things remain unchanged, especially A Xiang, according to the auxiliary, "I never thought that Tong Yali would be so beautiful!"

Director Lu had no intention of re-establishing his relationship, just wanted to know how Ah Xiang could do a beautiful and magical way!

The dishes were very fast, and the two continued chatting while eating. Boss Lu revealed: "Partners" mainly focus on May Day next year..."

"Has it settled?"

"Well... Mr. Huang, what's wrong?"

Halfway through, Huang Zhongjun came over again.

Huang Zhongjun smiled and said, "I wonder if there is any honor to invite Mr. Lu to the private room to gather?"

Lu Xiaoran looked at the table full of food: "We've ordered good food."

"…Dong Zeng and Mr. Ye are also in the private room. Will Mr. Lu be embarrassed, right?"

"who?"

"Zeng Maojun, Ye Ning!"

Tsk, the person in charge of Wanda Movies and Wanda Cinemas…

What a big card!

Unfortunately, it is not enough to put it in front of Lu Ma Ma. If the richest man Wang or the old Ma comes, he may move his seat.

He waved his hand: "...Let's do this, please tell them. In two days, the box office of "Moon" has exceeded 500 million. We will hold a celebration meeting. At that time, everyone is welcome to attend!"

"Haha, then I'll say goodbye..."

Huang Zhongjun still smiled and left the hall...

Cao Binkun didn't raise his head: "Are you so unpretentious to him?"

"I am an opponent, so why pretend to be a brother? Moreover, I don't like him very much!"

“…There are so many people who don’t like him!”

"Then what?"

“There are many people who don’t like you!”
