Chapter 633 Tan Beng Charges at Billion Fan Bingbing
As the first independently listed film and television company in China, Huayi’s 20th anniversary celebration has attracted countless attention in the industry.
Generally speaking, however, company annual meetings are held in the evening, which is more appropriate and lively.
But Huayi’s focus this time is the shareholders’ meeting and celebration, so the time is set in the morning.
Around half past nine, Wei Jin, dressed in casual clothes, came to a five-star hotel with his assistant Chen Yuqi.
It's no wonder that the Wang brothers put on quite a show this time. In addition to booking a floor of the hotel as the venue, they also hung banners outside the hotel and laid a red carpet several dozen meters long.
"Boss, what a grand ceremony! It's almost as grand as many film festivals, right?"
Looking at the large number of security personnel and etiquette ladies on both sides of the red carpet, as well as the media holding cameras, Chen Yuqi, who was attending an important occasion with Wei Jin for the first time, had a hint of excitement in her tone.
"Haha, you are surprised by what you have seen."
As he was speaking, Wei Jin immediately walked onto the red carpet with his assistant, and an etiquette lady came to lead the way.
Following the good-looking etiquette lady, Wei and Jin came to the banquet hall which had been decorated in advance.

Looking around, there are nearly three hundred seats, and they are almost full.
The vast majority of them are filmmakers, producers, actors and stars in the circle who are related to Huayi or have worked with Huayi. They are basically all big names, and there are even some stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Someone noticed Wei Jin and greeted him. Immediately the venue became lively with greetings everywhere.
Amidst the greetings along the way, Wei Jin followed the etiquette and walked to the first row, while the young assistant could only stay in another area.
On the way, Wei Jin saw many artists under Huayi, such as several members of the Stab-in-the-Dagger Cult, Feng Shaofeng, Chen He, Shu Qi, Liu Jialing, Fan Wei, Bai Baihe, and Feng Yuanzheng, with whom he had worked before.
Compared with the first time Wei Jin attended the shareholders' meeting a few years ago, the number of Huayi's artists has obviously shrunk a lot, but their status is also higher. There is no small artist like Zhao Liying anymore.
"Boss Wei, here."
The person who greeted Wei Jin was Zhang Guoli, with whom he had worked in "Room" and "Whiplash".
It can be seen that after selling the company to Huayi, Lao Zhang and the Wang brothers became even more closely tied together, and their seats were all in the first row.
"Teacher Zhang, long time no see."
Wei Jin greeted him with a smile, and then called out to Gu Changwei, Feng Dapao, Zhang Da Huzi and others who were sitting nearby.
The group of people responded with a smile and wished Wei Jin a happy Oscar win.
The greetings did not last too long, after all, Wei Jin arrived relatively late. About ten minutes later, the celebration officially began.
At the invitation of the emcee, the Wang brothers walked up to the podium. Behind them was a large LED screen. It seemed that they were going to give a PPT presentation today.
Sure enough, after a conventional welcome speech, a line of words appeared on the big screen - get rid of the single-minded development path of movies.
The place suddenly became noisy because the film and television industry was becoming more and more prosperous. Why was this happening?
Not to mention anything else, the movie "Private Tailor", which was released some time ago, although failed to break the 7 million box office mark, it also broke the record of "The Great Earthquake" and closed at million.
Even if there was no bet reached with the theaters, based on the 43% profit sharing ratio, the revenue attributable to the producer would be as high as million.
Taking into account the prices of various advertising placements, reality shows and copyrights, the overall project net profit exceeded 3 million.

In the eyes of many people in the industry, now is the time to work hard.
As for the situation on the scene, the big and small Wangs were also mentally prepared.
For the next hour, the two of them seemed to be singing a duet, explaining in detail the ins and outs of this "de-monotonous development of the film industry."
Judging from the logic of the Wang brothers, the film and television industry is indeed becoming more and more prosperous, but the competition is also becoming more and more fierce.
Especially today when production and artist operating costs have increased significantly, the risks in the film and television industry are unprecedentedly high.
Wang Zhonglei even used "The Loyal and Brave Generals of the Yang Family" as an example to prove that what he said was true.
In addition, Huayi's core profit point - artist brokerage - has also seen its profits shrink after its listing, as a large number of celebrity shareholders have adopted a studio cooperation model due to their skyrocketing net worth.
Considering that studio cooperation will be the general trend, Huayi Brothers decided to remove the artist brokerage business from the group's core business.
In the context of instability in traditional film and television content production and artist management businesses, Huayi can develop multiple legs to walk on by de-monopolizing its film business, greatly increasing the group's stability and long-term profitability.
"So as early as the beginning of the listing, we have been working on de-monopolizing the film industry, and we have achieved some results. Mission Hills Community, Central China Real Estate Tourism Town, and Ourpalm Technology have all injected new strength into the group.
In the future, we will also increase our efforts to focus on cultural towns, theme parks, games, tourism, the Internet, finance, electronic products and other fields to bring stronger impetus to the development of the group."
As the Wang brothers gave their emotional speeches, the people in the audience were convinced and the applause was quite enthusiastic.
Because industries such as real estate, Internet, finance, and gaming have proven in the past two years that they have a bright future.
Whether it is profit cycle or risk control, it has much more advantages than the film and television industry.
But Wei Jin just shook his head when he heard this. Diversified development is certainly a good thing, but does Huayi itself have the ability to do so?
Not to mention the Internet, finance and other industries, just talking about real estate, can Huayi, which started out as a content creator, compete with those real estate giants?
Huayi's move is tantamount to giving up its own advantages and forcibly changing track.
However, Wei Jin didn't care about this. He just wanted to know how much quota he could get from this dividend.
He didn't have to wait too long. At around 11:, the Wang brothers finished their speeches, and the annual shareholder dividend distribution session officially began.
Wei Jin and the four queens each received a quota of 150 million shares again.
Countless people at the scene cast envious glances, because according to Friday's closing price, Wei Jin made at least 6 million yuan by sitting here for two hours.
But this also proves one thing, that Huayi has really made money in other fields.
The strategy of “de-monotonizing movies” is indeed correct!
For a time, everyone was looking forward to Huayi reaching new heights!
Next came the most grand and lively annual meeting of Huayi’s 20th anniversary celebration, and Wei Jin also had lunch there.
During the dinner, Huayi's big and small Wangs made all kinds of promises for Wei Jin, and even shouted out the slogan of a market value of 100 billion yuan within three years.
The purpose is self-evident, of course, to tie Wei and Jin firmly to the big ship of Huayi.
After all, although Wei Jin, Zeng Li and others did not hold 5% of the shares, the number of shares they held was close to 2013 million, ranking 10th in the number of shares in circulation at the end of .
These data are open to the public. As long as these few of them still hold on, it will bring confidence to investors!

Wang Zhonglei even said that if Wei Jin needed it, they could sign an internal agreement and he would definitely not suffer any loss in terms of price.
Wei Jin just laughed it off. After all, how could an internal transfer compare to the price in the secondary market? On the way out of the Royal Hotel, Wei Jin called Xiang Wenlong and arranged a trading team to wait for an opportunity to gradually move forward.
Unexpectedly, just after hanging up the phone, he received an invitation to dinner from Huang Bai. Since he had nothing to do before the New Year, Wei Jin agreed.
After spending an afternoon with Liu Yan, who was two months pregnant, in the Yanjiao villa, Wei Jin rushed to the agreed hot pot restaurant at seven in the evening.
As expected, Huang Bo didn’t just invite him to dinner, he wanted to chat with him about “Lost in Hong Kong”.
"You mean the talks didn't go well?"
Wei Jin picked up a piece of tripe and asked casually.
"It's not that it didn't go smoothly, it's that the talks completely broke down."
Huang Bai picked up his beer and drank it in one gulp. Then he added, "I thought it would be difficult to negotiate, but I didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly. There is no room for negotiation at all."
Huang Bo was very excited. This result was obviously beyond his expectations. After all, he was a Golden Horse Award winner and had a record of two billion-box office movies!
"What did he say?" Wei Jin wrapped the freshly boiled tripe in a dish of oil and put it into his mouth.
"What he meant was that the Lost in China series is already a mature IP with its own box office appeal. The sequel Lost in Hong Kong can be done without anyone, not even himself!"
Wei Jin stopped using his chopsticks, not surprised: "That's right, there's nothing wrong with that. Then just perform normally."
At this point, Wei Jin paused, and noticing Huang Bo's angry expression, he asked tentatively, "Could it be that he didn't get the film contract?"
"Haha, Lao Wei, you guessed right."
Huang Bo laughed at himself, "He meant that the pay would be increased by 50% based on Lost in Thailand. How could I agree to that? Even with that, he seemed to be giving me a lot of face."
"."
Wei Jin didn't know what to say. Huang Bo only got 50 million for "Lost in Thailand". Even if it increased by 600%, it would only be million.
This is far from Huang Bai's current worth.
You should know that after "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Huang Bo's value has skyrocketed, and the current external salary offer has reached 20 million.
Guangtou Xu asked for a salary of 6 million. This is not a discount, this is a huge cut!
"Have you communicated with Baoqiang?"
"No. But I guess Xu Zheng won't give up. After all, Baoqiang was the core actor in the first two films, and he is much more important than me."
As he spoke, Huang Bai picked up his glass and drank it, then looked at Wei Jin, "Old Wei, you don't know, I've been wondering all afternoon, why did he become so strange?"
"Forehead"
For a moment, Wei Jin didn't know how to respond.
Huang Bai and Xu Zheng have known each other for more than eight years since they met on the set of Stone.
During this period, they also collaborated on "No Man's Land", "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand", so of course their relationship is very good.
Otherwise, the outside world would not call Huang Bai, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao the "Iron Triangle".

But obviously, this time, Xu Guangtou hurt Huang Bai's heart.
Not to mention how sad Huang Bai was, but the capital market's reaction was really quick.
After Huayi’s 20th anniversary celebration and shareholders’ meeting, the theory of “de-movie-single-development route” was also spread.
The result was that as soon as the stock market opened on Monday, Huayi’s stock price soared, and it hit the daily limit for two consecutive days!
You know, generally speaking, after the issuance of additional shares, the stock price will experience a correction.
The fact that Huayi’s stock price can continue to rise can only prove one thing: that is, including shareholders, everyone is extremely optimistic about the route of “de-single-dimensional development in the film industry”!
But this is not the most surprising thing in the industry. The most surprising and enviable thing is the resumption of trading of Meitao Entertainment!
Since the New Third Board does not have a limit on price fluctuations, on Monday, the day Meitao Entertainment resumed trading, the price per share soared from yuan to yuan, a single-day increase of .
Tuesday was even more terrifying, with an increase of , and the closing price directly approached the 40 yuan mark, closing at yuan.
"It's only been two days, and Meitao Entertainment's market value is close to 30 billion. It looks like this is far from the end. Is Fan Bingbing's net worth going to break through 10 billion?"
Inside the hotel where the crew of "Tiny Times" was working, Yang Mi's face flushed as she read the financial news, as if she was about to have a brain orgasm.
Zeng Jia, who was sitting next to her, was no less excited and was talking incoherently.
"Mimi, did you see that? This is the power of the capital market. We work hard to earn film pay and do commercial performances, but how much can we earn in a year? As long as the company goes public, a lot of money will come to us."
"Jia Jie, I know, I know. We must go public!"
It's not just Zeng Jia and Yang Mi who are fantasizing about this. Countless female celebrities in the circle are looking forward to copying Fan Bingbing's path.
But after thinking about it, most people showed a dejected look again - because they simply couldn't do it!
Not to mention that Fan Bingbing herself is one of the most profitable actresses in the domestic entertainment industry. The valuation of Meitao Entertainment in its first round of financing was as high as over ten billion yuan, and was favored by countless investors.
Just the few projects announced recently are resources that are out of reach for countless people in the industry.
After all, apart from Wei Jin, which company in the circle can provide such generous support to its studio?
Fan Bingbing certainly understood this logic, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Meitao Entertainment annual meeting and persuaded Wei Jin to show up, to help the company.
"Uncle, thank you. I really love you~ um~~"
As soon as they returned to the large flat in Wangfujing, Fan Bingbing, who was wearing a high ponytail and dressed like a strong woman, pouting her fiery red lips and kissing him.
A pair of small hands were also restlessly exploring the core area.
Faced with provocation, Wei Jin certainly would not sit still and wait for death. While responding enthusiastically with her red lips, she immediately used her Kung Fu skills.
Soon, the 33-year-old Fan Bingbing couldn't help it and started to shuffle the cards.
Although he is not as good as Jin Chen, Fan Bingbing's shuffling ability also makes him a strong player.
Especially when he looked up from time to time, the teasing and desire in Ruifeng's eyes made people feel full of the pleasure of conquest.
So after just two or three minutes, Wei Jin couldn't help but pat her pretty face.
Fan Bingbing immediately understood, and after gently letting him go, she turned around and lay on the back of the sofa, bending her body into an alluring arc, and turned back with a charming smile:
"Uncle, please enjoy yourself tonight, and don't show mercy to me~~"
"Hehe, then I have to test my sister-in-law's skills."
