Chapter 740: Second in industry market value, original shareholder meeting
Early in the morning, countless people in the film and television circle were paying attention to the situation in Shanghai, and the vast majority of industry insiders were even waiting for the live broadcast on the internet.
That's right, the bell-ringing listing ceremony of China Film Group Corporation would have a large number of media for live broadcast reports, after all, this is the so-called "first stock" of the domestic film and television industry!
This "first stock" doesn't mean the first one, but refers to China Film Group's power and status in the industry.
The A-share market opens at 9:30, and the moment the time arrived, the internet was instantly swiped by news about China Film Group Corporation.
"In the morning, China Film Group Chairman La Peikang and Film Bureau Deputy Director Tong Gang, at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, under the witness of nearly a hundred media lenses, jointly completed the bell-ringing ceremony to open the market;
Film Bureau Director Zhang Hongsen, former China Film Group Chairman Han Sanping, Movie Channel Director Cao Yin, Director Huang Jianxin, and others were in suits and leather shoes, ranking in the China Film Group seats..."
"It is reported that actors Gong Li, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Jingchun, Wang Xueqi, and others were ranked on both sides as actor representatives and shareholders, watching the listing ceremony of China Film Group Corporation on site."
"At 9:30 AM, China Film Group Corporation officially rang the bell and listed;
The stock abbreviation is 'China Film Shares,' the issuance price is 8.92 yuan, the number of stocks publicly issued for the first time is no more than 467 million shares, the opening price is 10.7 yuan, and it has been floating red all the way after opening..."
"Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Lin Nan, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and more than ten big directors in the industry successively recorded videos to update Weibo, congratulating the issuance of 'China Film Shares'..."
Inside Tiangong Color.
After completing the follow-the-crowd congratulation task, Lin Nan and Ning Hao continued to work on serious business.
China Film Group's stocks are different from other private listed companies in the film and television industry. The former's stocks will be very "value-preserving," or even can be said to be profitable as soon as bought, and will definitely not lose money.
Because it has special things like "power" that other listed companies in the film and television industry don't have;
Coupled with the huge Chinese-language film market as a bottom, as well as its large cinema chains, and China Film Group's excellent hobbies and fine style of wanting to get a foot in almost all good resources...
All these are enough to ensure that China Film Group Corporation's stocks can always stand firm!
"Just wait and see how much it can rise by the close of the market this afternoon."
"A limit-up should be no problem, after all, this is China Film Group!"
On the computer display screen, Lin Nan pulled back the shot of him and Liu Yifei arguing and scolding each other for five seconds, and after freezing it, he affirmed to Ning Hao with great certainty.
"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of being the only central-level one in the industry. The limit-up of new stocks does not exceed 144% of the issuance price, that is, a 44% increase!" The great Director Ning sighed quite enviously.
"Why? Do you regret it? I didn't buy because I didn't want to have such a deep intersection with state-owned enterprises, but you didn't buy, which makes me very puzzled, it doesn't make sense."
"What's so puzzling about this? First, I don't need to hug the thighs of China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, and second, do you think everyone has your treatment, getting the promise of two or three points of shares?
The total share capital is nearly 2 billion, Huang Xiaoming, Gong Li, and those people buying a few million shares is only a few thousandths, and it's mainly to get on the boat and submit a letter of intent, and I don't need it.
Besides, where would I get so much cash? You're not unaware of me, most of my family fortune is in Huanxi, and I have to keep money in the account of Bad Monkey, unlike you, this rich dog..."
"Alright, alright, why are you still attacking me personally while talking?" Lin Nan interrupted the other party angrily, Director Ning is a typical "hating the rich"!
In one morning, La Peikang could be said to have shown off his limelight; the things that Han Sanping had initiated and kept talking about and preparing for when he was in office were finally accomplished in his hands.
Undoubtedly, this is political achievement!
And as China Film Group's old rival, the pressure had been completely given to Shanghai Film Group, and to Ren Zhonglun.
Although because there is a huge gap in the number of issued stocks, it will lead to a several-fold difference in the market value of the two companies;
But in a week, Shanghai Film Group's stock price must not be inferior to others, otherwise it would really be a big loss of face.
"Chairman Ren, Director Tong, Director Zhang, and the others are preparing to return. Chairman La specially reminded on the side, saying that you must go to attend the celebration banquet tomorrow night...
What time do you think is appropriate for this flight?"
The secretary asked Ren Zhonglun about the itinerary with a scalp-numbing feeling. He could see that his chairman was stimulated quite a bit by the proud La Peikang this morning!
"Celebration banquet? And specifically named me? Is this showing off to me here? Shanghai Film Group's listing was completed by me single-handedly... Him? Without Han Sanping laying the foundation, could China Film Group be listed in his hands? Just picked up a big bargain!"
Ren Zhonglun cursed angrily, but after cursing, he had to admit: within the system, China Film Group is indeed pressing Shanghai Film Group, this is an iron fact.
"Tomorrow morning's flight.
I guess those few companies didn't miss one, all of them were 'separately' urged by La Peikang, saying they must go to attend China Film Group's banquet!"
Ren Zhonglun had just finished speaking when he heard the knock on the office door again, "Chairman Ren, the car is ready."
"Hmm, alright. Then let's go, go to the dinner party of 'Railroad Tigers.' The promotion of the film must also start, proceed cautiously."
It rose in the morning, and continued to rise in the afternoon. Although there were a few stagnations or even a drop of one or two cents in the middle, the overall trend remained unchanged, that is, rising!
Zhang Yimou looked at the invitation in his hand, and for a moment, he was full of emotions. China Film Group had invited him before, but... no money, all pressed into LeTV.
"Why are you back? Is the post-production done?" Looking at his eldest daughter, Zhang Yimou asked.
The latter nodded, saying very seriously and solemnly: "Dad, I want to put my '28-Year-Old Minor' into the New Year file.
I know the competition in the New Year file is very fierce, you big directors are all there, but the market is so big, I think I can eat that part of the market that overflows from the market... although it overflows, it is far better than other files."
"You have to think clearly, even if it's me, I dare not guarantee that I will definitely be competitive in this year's New Year file. Ang Lee, Feng Xiaogang, Lin Nan, Jackie Chan, they are all eyeing it."
Zhang Yimou didn't stubbornly deny the other party, but asked again. Even in the examples he listed, he had already defaulted to excluding Er Dongsheng and Cheng Er's films, leaving only the strongest few.
"I've thought clearly, just the New Year file. In addition, I want to ask you to help, to create momentum for me then, and invite some seniors and big directors in the circle to come and support..."
The father and daughter were rarely silent, and after a long time, it was Zhang Yimou who spoke first:
"Alright, it's time for me to pave the way for you. Connections and human favors, I will leave them to you, as for the family..."
"Leave it to them." Zhang Mi interrupted Zhang Yimou's words. In her eyes, Zhang Yimou had really aged a lot during this period, and his spirit was a bit sluggish.
"Good."
Zhang Yimou nodded. Speaking of the directors of their generation, he could be considered to have successors... much stronger than the other few.
Lin Nan yawned and pinched his eyebrows. Today's work progress ends here.
"Your Yifei came to pick you up from work, tsk tsk, it's another day of big bags and small bags."
Ning Hao's teasing voice sounded beside him. Lin Nan turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yifei walking into the door of Tiangong Color with two assistants, indeed carrying several handbags.
"Here, Director Ning, take it back and give it to Sister Na, there are ladies' watches and bags."
Liu Yifei didn't pay attention to Ning Hao's teasing, but walked to the front with a smile, and pointed to the gifts in the hands of the two assistants behind her.
Director Ning had a look of "flattered," first looking at Liu Yifei, then as if thinking of something, he glared at Lin Nan instantly, asking sharply: "What's going on?"
"Nothing's going on, I just mentioned it to Yifei yesterday afternoon, saying you are too stingy.
Here, just take it as an extra subsidy for you, this director, chief photographer, producer, editor, and half-supervisor, don't thank Yifei and me, haha..."
"I thank your grandfather... thank you for ruining my reputation? I'm still stingy..."
"Didn't you say you can take advantage of a little bit?"
"I..." Ning Hao was speechless, pointing at Lin Nan and unable to speak; Liu Yifei on the side hugged Lin Nan's arm, laughing non-stop.
"Just say whether you want it or not?"
"Want, why don't I want it, this is what our great screenwriter deserves as a producer... just slaughter you, this rich dog!"
Throwing down a sentence, Ning Hao decisively "snatched" several handbags, and then snorted coldly, walking directly out of Tiangong Color.
The entire film and television circle waited for a day, and finally waited for the first-day close of China Film Group Corporation—big explosion!
As of the close of the market in the afternoon, the stock price stabilized at 12.84 yuan; compared to the issuance price, an increase of 43.95%.
That is, on the day of the new stock listing, it closed at the limit-up!
As for the 44% limit-up stipulated, that is in a theoretical state; and the limit-up in reality, the vast majority cannot achieve a perfect fit of 44%.
Because if the stock price jumps like that, it will likely break through 44%, so it can only close at the limit-up as close to 44% as possible.
As for the market value of China Film Group Corporation on the first day of listing, it also officially came out, stunning the entire film and television industry.
Because its market value directly crossed several listed companies in the film and television industry such as Enlight and Orange Sky, second only to Huayi, and settled in the second place in the industry, reporting 24 billion!
The next day, the liveliness of China Film Group had not yet dissipated, and the stock price was still rising, but the industry had no interest. After all, whether it rises more or less has nothing to do with the vast majority of people.
And the film and TV drama market is the focus that the circle will always pay attention to and value.
This is not it, the information of a new film attracted the attention of the entire industry, just because of its producer!
"Following 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' Mahua FunAge submitted the script for its second comedy film today, 'Never Say Die.'"
"According to Mahua FunAge Director Yan Fei, who accepted a telephone interview: 'Never Say Die' is also adapted from the original play of the same name, and will be directed by Director Song Yang;
The film's lead actors will continue to use the original cast of 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' and the two films will also have egg associations."
"Mahua FunAge official Weibo released an announcement, @Hongxingwu:
Looking forward to the first cooperation with Hongxingwu, thank you Producer Liu Yifei for providing help; 'Never Say Die' will be jointly produced by Mahua FunAge and Hongxingwu..."
The first film was "Goodbye Mr. Loser," which cut 1.781 billion; the second film "Never Say Die," it looks like it has a thousand threads of connection with "Goodbye Mr. Loser."
Based on these two points alone, Mahua FunAge's new film is undoubtedly the focus of heated discussion across the internet—a big cake.
And Hongxingwu's "appearance" as the only joint producer undoubtedly shocked the entire industry; but after reacting, everyone understood, because this is completely reasonable.
After all, Lin Nan is a shareholder of Mahua FunAge, so Liu Yifei is naturally a "shareholder"! It's just that such a big cake is truly tempting to the extreme...
"This is clearly a profitable movie, you guys digested it internally again. Are you afraid that others will speak to you, guarding against me?"
"Chairman Wang, the news just came out, and you called me right after. Then what is the answer, do I still need to answer? Haha..."
There, Lin Nan's sentence directly choked Wang Changtian.
Because he had to attend China Film Group's celebration banquet in the evening, the post-production of the two films was suspended for a day, and they were on holiday.
At this moment, the great Lin Dao was staying at home, swinging lazily on the swing.
"Heh, see through but don't say it, you did it on purpose, right? Fine, count it as me asking for trouble. Tomorrow morning, 'I Belonged to You' will hold a media press conference..."
"Chairman Wang, forget it, there is really no time tomorrow." Lin Nan bent down and picked up the little fat orange at his feet, and replied with a smile.
"Film post-production? Or something else?"
"Attending a banquet tonight, it will definitely be inevitable to be persuaded to drink, I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. Let's wait for the premiere, it's next month."
Hearing Lin Nan's "resolute" tone, Wang Changtian was too lazy to complain again: "Suit yourself. Every day, sleeping is more important than work, if you say it out, the circle can laugh to death..."
Lin Nan didn't give Wang Changtian a chance to continue, he hung up the phone, he really couldn't stand him!
Wang Zhonglei, private club.
The crisp pipa sound accompanied by faint incense lingered in the spacious ancient-style private room.
In front of the tea table, there were only four people sitting: Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhonglei, and Chen and Yang who came to the door today.
"'Youth' can be considered an art-oriented war drama, the background is set during the self-defense counterattack war, the protagonists are a group of young people in the army art troupe who are in their prime...
Oh right, the screenwriter is Yan Geling, and the script is also adapted from her novel of the same name. Roughly in the first half of next year, this novel should be published."
Feng Xiaogang held the teacup, his momentum was very well grasped, and he talked eloquently about the introduction of "Youth."
"Listening to it, it's a good script, plus Director Feng's guidance, it's definitely a good movie." Chen Jinfei gave a very high affirmation.
"Director Chen, the film is roughly like this, and all project preparation work will be done before the end of the year. But the only role I can give you is one of the two core female supporting roles.
Because to be honest, Miss Yang does not meet my requirements for the female lead. With me, the female lead must at least be good at dancing, look a bit more essential, and a bit more delicate..."
Feng Xiaogang glanced at the only woman present and said unceremoniously. He is the supplier of resources and has this confidence and strength.
Although casting is also done as a business, he will also refuse "business" that does not meet the role requirements! In the film and entertainment circle, the least lacking are actors, especially beautiful actresses!
"Alright, no problem, then one of the two core female supporting roles. The one with character characteristics, the one that leaves a deep impression on the audience, that is the most beautiful one in the setting."
Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other, the latter nodded and responded: "Director Chen, it's okay, then this role is reserved."
"Thank you, Director Feng, thank you, Wang Zong." The "protagonist" of today reacted quickly, immediately raised the teacup to toast, and thanked repeatedly.
Two hours later, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang sent Chen and Yang out of the club, watching the sedan slowly drive away and disappear at the end of the field of vision.
"Wang Zong, this resource exchange is a bit far, right?" Feng Xiaogang smacked his lips and teased.
"But for the group, it's more valuable than the resources of the film and television industry, isn't it? Don't worry, Director Feng, I will compensate you."
Wang Zhonglei promised with a smile, the thing Chen Jinfei used to exchange for resources, that is, help in the real estate field.
"I am naturally at ease, it's just a supporting role. I just feel a bit sighing, he... ran to us to find resources? Hehe."
In one day, many big figures and big names in the industry hurried to or back to the capital.
Just on Weibo, Lin Nan saw the figures of several companies such as Xi'an Film Group, Ningxia Film Group, Changchun Film Group, and Emperor Motion Pictures, all of which were chairmen coming out in person. The destination went without saying, it must be China Film Group's celebration banquet in the evening.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei was sitting in front of the dressing table applying makeup alone, light makeup. And Lin Nan was in a posture of not caring, just fresh and clean, he was too lazy to dress up.
And so, he sat on the sofa and brushed the news, while waiting for Liu Yifei.
Until six o'clock, Liu Yifei came down wearing a plain dress and high heels;
As she walked, her fair calves were looming, and her small feet gave Lin Nan an urge to hold them in his hands.
Clearly a person of 1.7 meters, and very "violent," but only has a pair of size 37 feet, which is really magical.
"Lin Nan, let's go." Liu Yifei reached out and put her braid on her right shoulder, hanging in front of her chest, and then pulled the great Lin Dao.
"Don't say, today's braid is quite good-looking, matching your casual dress, it's really a match."
Lin Nan nodded and praised. Mainly because Liu Yifei's hair is really thick, dense, and has good quality, so it's naturally good-looking when braided.
"Oh, just wear it casually, I didn't choose it carefully." Hearing this, Liu Yifei raised her head a bit proudly.
"Fortunately, you didn't choose carefully, as long as you don't choose carefully, there will definitely be no accidents!"
"Hmph, what are you saying?"
"Didn't say anything, didn't say anything, said you are beautiful. Go, hurry up and set off." Hearing the cold snort, Lin Nan hurriedly changed his words; he took Liu Yifei's hand and walked out, the driver and assistant had been waiting for a while.
China Film Group also made a big move, and for the banquet, that is, the celebration banquet tonight, they booked the largest banquet hall in the China World Hotel, which is the one of more than 2,000 square meters.
Before, the financing banquet of Tudou's two rounds was held in this hall.
Of course, now China Film Group Corporation has a market value of 25 billion, booking a banquet hall of more than 2,000 square meters to celebrate, that is naturally not out of place at all, and there is no fault to pick!
The scene downstairs was exceptionally noisy, with long guns and short cannons, and flashes constantly... between the moving heads, one couldn't see the end.
A large number of media reporters were steadily "suppressed" by the same number of security personnel, and could not get close to the red carpet at all.
Today, the upper echelons of the entire film and television industry can be said to have almost all arrived.
Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, Ningxia Film Group, Changchun Film Group, Pearl River Film Group, Emei Film Group... Huayi, Enlight, Bona, StarMe, Orange Sky... Emperor... Huace, Huanxi...
Major state-owned enterprises, film and television giants, big directors whose names can be called, second-line and above actor stars... the red carpet tonight is far better than the film festival!
When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the banquet hall holding hands, they rarely saw a scene where the big names in the circle were all gathered.
The chairman of Ningxia Film Group was blowing "Asura" there, saying that he was doing the final preparation before filming;
Wang Yong was chatting with Wang Changtian about "Pacific Rim 2"; Jiang Wen and Yang Shoucheng and others were gathered together, surrounded by actor stars who were flattering and echoing;
Big directors have their own circles... Film and television giants are even more like friends in twos and threes, very deceptive!
The group with the largest number of people on site should be the first and second-line actors, and at the same time, they are also the group with the lowest status on site; because apart from them, everyone on site is either a director, producer, or film and television capital! Hmm, and other capital!
"You two finally arrived." Ning Hao spotted Lin Nan and Liu Yifei and hurriedly ran over. It could be seen that he was almost suffocated in the social interaction.
"Lin Nan, Yifei, Ning Hao, let me introduce you."
Before the great Lin Dao and Producer Liu could talk to Director Ning, a greeting sound came from the side.
The three looked at the sound and saw Zhang Yimou bringing his... eldest daughter? The two came over together, "My daughter, Zhang Mi. I hope you will take care of her in the future, she is also going to move forward on the road of director."
"Lin Dao, Director Ning, Producer Liu." Zhang Mi greeted with a smile.
"Director Zhang, you said that, you can take care of her yourself, where do you need us?" Lin Nan nodded in response and said to Zhang Yimou with a smile.
"Still need to, you are all young, and I am already old, I don't know how many years I can work."
After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Yimou took people away.
Looking at the figure walking away, Ning Hao sighed: "Director Zhang is really miserable, all his family assets were pitted into LeTV, and now he has started to sell his old face to pull strings for his eldest daughter, tsk tsk..."
"Yifei." Han Jia nv didn't know what a lady was at all, shouted from afar, and walked over quickly. She had a smile of extreme happiness on her face, and her emotions were completely unreserved.
"You said a few days ago that your family was very poor, are you still poor today?" Liu Yifei held Han Jia nv's hand and teased with a smile.
"Oh, isn't there still a lock-up period, it will be poor for a long time, hehe. Besides, Old Han doesn't seem to be ready to sell... Go, go with me to that side, there is delicious food..."
Liu Yifei looked back at Lin Nan, her eyes shining.
"Princess Xixi, as you wish."
"Alright, see you later." Liu Yifei, with a smiling face, followed Han Jia nv away.
"Lin Dao, Director Ning, long time no see."
Lu Zheng appeared in front of them with Jing Tian. Ning Hao's eyes turned, and he said with a smile: "That, I have something to do, so I'll go first. Let's talk later."
In an instant, only the three of Lin Nan were left in the small range around them.
"It's been a long time, what is President Lu busy with recently?"
"Busy with other things. After staying in the film and television circle for so many years, Tian Tian has also reached this step. I am planning to retire next year, and I have to rely on herself in the future."
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Lin Nan subconsciously looked at Jing Tian, she had heavier makeup than Liu Yifei today, wearing a blue evening dress, which suited her very well.
"Brother Lin?" Jing Tian called out, still that smile, those watery eyes.
"She alone, should be no problem." Lin Nan nodded and affirmed.
"I hope so too. However, I still hope Lin Dao can look at the friendship of the past and take care of her more."
This is not easy to answer, but Lin Nan still nodded.
"Lin Dao?" At this time, another voice drifted over, it was Cao Guowei.
Seeing this situation, Lu Zheng didn't intend to disturb Lin Nan anymore, "Lin Dao, then you should be busy first. Tian Tian, let's go over, there are still many people to greet."
"Hmm, alright. Brother Lin, see you later." Looking at Lin Nan, Jing Tian smiled sweetly, and then turned and walked away with Lu Zheng.
"Chairman Cao, didn't expect you to come tonight too?"
"Weibo is deeply tied to the film and entertainment industry, China Film Group invited, I naturally have to come in person. This is not it, after seeing Lin Dao, I just remembered something, and told you by the way."
"What is it?" Lin Nan was a bit curious.
"There is a very important shareholder meeting before the end of the year, it is a meeting of original shareholders, Lin Dao must come to attend. I know that Lin Dao often goes to Hollywood at the end of the year, but this year you might have to..."
"Don't worry, Chairman Cao. I don't have any Hollywood itinerary arrangements this year, I'm in the country, and I'm not going anywhere." Lin Nan interrupted the other party with a smile.
"Good, it's good that there is no Hollywood itinerary. It's like this, Weibo held a lot of... before." Cao Guowei began to talk about serious business.
Weibo held quite a few shares of other companies before, and now due to its own strategic development needs and some other reasons, there is a plan to throw these shares out;
And the original shareholder meeting at the end of the year is to talk about these things... the specific content is a bit complicated, a bit much, and it will be detailed when the meeting is held.
"No problem, just give me a call when the specific time of the shareholder meeting is determined." Lin Nan nodded and responded with a smile.
"That's good, thank you Lin Dao for your support to me over the years."
"Chairman Cao is joking again, we belong to mutual trust. Besides, I don't participate in Weibo's management and operation, the voting right is naturally entrusted to Chairman Cao, haha..."
"But it doesn't prevent me from saying thank you, and I also hope that at the shareholder meeting at the end of the year, Lin Dao can continue to support my decision."
Although Lin Nan felt that Cao Guowei had something in his words, he thought carefully, it was nothing more than resolutions related to Weibo's internal affairs, as long as it didn't harm his interests.
"No problem, I naturally support Chairman Cao."
