Chapter 666 Cooperation and Cracks

The company's biggest name right now is naturally Lin Xiao himself, followed by Liang Shaoqing.

However, Liang Shaoqing is affiliated with the Ling Xiao Pavilion in the form of a studio.

Then there is the queen sister who has already half-retired.

Also, at the beginning of this year, Lin Xiao's younger brother, Xie Xin, had officially left the original brokerage company after his contract with the original brokerage company expired, and started his own personal studio, which was also affiliated with Ling Xiao Pavilion.

In addition to the newly promoted Xiaohua, Yan Jue, who the company obviously wants to promote, plays the role of Thirteenth Aunt in "Huang Feihong".

As well as Liu Xixi and others, therefore, although the artists under Ling Xiaoge are still not comparable to those established brokerage companies, they have already begun to mature.

In terms of directors, Lin Xiao will not talk about it. Currently, Chen He and Nan Ke are already able to play their own roles.

Then there is Sanle Animation. Sanle Animation currently has two projects with the highest value, "Peppa Pig" and "Kung Fu Panda".

However, there are many places to spend money.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" has officially started, and the investment in this one alone, although it is jointly invested by several companies, the combined investment amount of the Lingxiao Pavilion and Sanle Animation has exceeded 3 million Chinese dollars.

The second is the special effects company that broke away from Sanle Animation, Aurora Special Effects, which is still in the stage of burning money.

Of course, the most important thing is the investment in the first themed apartment of The Peak Tower, as well as the layout of the Tower in the cinema.

After Yao Ding took office, the first thing he did was to cancel the year-end dividend and use it as funds for the acquisition of theaters.

At present, there are more than 50 theaters belonging to the Lingxiao Pavilion, and this number is still increasing.

However, if the revenue statement of the film project of Lingxiao Pavilion is announced, it will make countless people envious and unbelievable.

The movie "Kung Fu Panda" alone has earned a net profit of more than 1 million US dollars, and although the sales of peripheral products will definitely begin to fade as the movie is released, it is still a steady stream. side provides profits.

At the same time, "Peppa Pig" is definitely a miracle.

Last year, the gross profit of "Peppa Pig" was as high as 28 billion Chinese dollars, and the investment was negligible. It is definitely a huge treasure that has yet to be excavated.

The exorbitantly priced script "Face Changing", which Tianhua bought from Lin Xiao earlier, was officially announced to be released before the traditional domestic film protection month.

There is no way, although Huaguo has canceled the so-called domestic film protection month on the surface, but in fact, this is still an unspoken rule.

Throughout July, apart from the ones that have been released before, there is no foreign movie released this month.

Although "Face Changing" is a co-production, it is still excluded. However, Tianhua has thought of a way, that is, to let "Face Changing" be released before July. month, but it was still able to continue showing.

In North America, this year's summer season is full of blockbuster movies. There are more than 6 blockbuster sequels alone, not to mention that there are many superhero movies that will be released in this schedule.

So "Face Changing" finally chose the slightly dull June in North America.

On Tianhua's side, Yao Ding's successor was a vice president dug from Tianxing, Wu Wenlong.

Wu Wenlong could be said to be the real power figure on Tianxing's side before, but Tianhua offered him a reward that he couldn't refuse, and he was in charge of his own side or someone else's subordinate, he naturally chose the former.

When Wu Wenlong entered Tianhua Films, the first thing he did was to cast a wide net to catch more fish, and began to shrink the investment share of blockbuster films, and began to invest in those low-cost films.

It has to be said that Wu Wenlong's strategy made Tianhua's performance much better after Yao Ding left.

However, I don’t know if he wants to go to Yao Dinghua, or if he wants to use Yao Ding’s project to make a name for himself in the company. He is actually dissatisfied with the agreement signed between "Face Changing" and Lin Xiao, and has repeatedly hoped to negotiate with Lin Xiao to sign a new agreement.

Just kidding, Lin Xiao naturally couldn't agree.

For this reason, although Ling Xiao Pavilion and Tian Hua Ming still have a cooperative relationship on the surface, in fact, a very obvious crack has already formed.

For example, the new project of Ling Xiao Pavilion, apart from the previous cooperation when Yao Ding was there, the subsequent cooperation is almost zero.

After Yao Ding entered the High Heaven Pavilion, the first decision he made was to cancel the year-end dividend strategy, which also caused great dissatisfaction on Tianhua's side.

The main reason is that Tianhua's real estate industry has become saturated in recent years, and Tianhua's parent company is heavily in debt, and loans are no longer as easy as in the past.

At a time when big real estate developers across the country are beginning to consider transitioning to other industries, Tianhua is no exception.

Therefore, Tianhua Films was able to obtain less and less support from the parent company. Naturally, the annual dividends of hundreds of millions in the High Heaven Pavilion became a piece of fat that Wu Wenlong was staring at.

However, Yao Ding directly took office as a new official with three fires, and the first fire was on the shareholders.

Ari and Huaying are fine, especially in order to ease the relationship with Ling Xiaoge, Ari has no way to raise objections, and Huaying has just obtained the huge benefits brought by "Kung Fu Panda", so it is naturally impossible Go and stand on Tianhua's side at this time.

In addition, Lin Xiao already had an absolute controlling stake, so Tianhua's dissatisfaction was useless at all.

In the past, when Ling Xiao Pavilion was just a small company, there were many places that needed Tianhua's support and help, but now, Tianhua has become the most inconspicuous shareholder.

Because the High Heaven Pavilion itself has also started to set up a theater chain, although it is still not as good as Tianhua, but because the relationship between the High Heaven Pavilion and Huaying is very harmonious, there is no need to worry about this aspect.

On the other hand, ECCOM has always hoped to increase its stake in Ling Xiao Pavilion, and even turned its idea to Tianhua.

In the end, I don’t know if it’s because I’m really short of money, or I feel that the honeymoon period with High Heaven Pavilion is over, and Yao Ding on High Heaven Pavilion has made a decision that High Heaven Pavilion will not pay dividends for the next three years. On the other hand, he actually agreed to ECCOM's quotation and gave up more than half of the shares he held in his hand.

However, despite this, at the premiere of "Face Changing", Lin Xiao, as the screenwriter, ate such a large piece of fat, so it was naturally impossible for him to be absent.

The premiere of "Face Changing" in China was held very grandly. The lineup of this film is extremely luxurious. Two film stars at home and abroad are playing on the same stage. In addition, the script is Lin Xiao, who has never missed a shot. The screenplay is written by a master screenwriter, and the director is also a top director.

Therefore, the premiere of "Face Changing" can be described as a gathering of stars, even no less than the star lineups of those film festivals.
