You don't understand the happiness of the director

Dorothy chose Dragon Head to be released at the end of April in order to reap a wave of dividends when "The Twilight Saga 3" is released. The box office of this movie will not be lower than the second one, nor can it be lower than the second one.

Dorothy arrived in New York a few days in advance, and it was only then that she found out that Wang Quan had bought a house in New York behind her back!

It's near Wall Street, not far from Wall Street and Broadway. It has a large flat floor of more than 300 square meters. Gadot used to live here when she came to New York to watch shows or go shopping.

Later, Wang Quan and Gadot also lived here after they came to New York. More than two months have passed since the Oscars night, and everyone has learned to let go.

Gadot came to New York because she is also a shareholder. Female friends around Wang Quan and Dorothy, as well as actresses such as Little K, Theron, and Swifty, all used their savings to buy Longtou’s shares, and they are considered individual small shareholders. , Gadot had the biggest portion, because King Power half sold and half gave some away, so she came over to ring the bell together.

In addition, Long Toutou also exchanged shares with Illumination Entertainment, exchanging 2% of the shares for 18% of the shares held by the founder team. Therefore, the shares held by Wang Quan and Long Toutou in Illumination Entertainment reached 58%, which can be regarded as combining the animation company with Long raised his head and was completely tied to death.

Chris Meledandri, president of Lighting, is becoming more and more confident about the future of Longtou. If it is mixed with the other six companies, it is hard to say how many shares he will have left in Lighting.

Now not only does lighting still have the final say, but it also owns shares in Longtou, and is just waiting for the company to go public and appreciate in value.

Based on the calculation of 300 million shares (including options and restricted stocks), Longtou initially proposed an issuance price of US$6. Because it was too popular with capital, the final IPO price was US$10, and 40 million shares were taken out. All sales were completed and the funds were raised. Funding of 400 million, valuation of 3 billion U.S. dollars!

The traditional film and television industry is really incomparable to the Internet. If an Internet company had the profitability of a dragon, its valuation would be at least over 10 billion!

However, 3 billion is not too small. This market value is equivalent to that of independently listed DreamWorks Animation. It is lower than Pixar, which was sold to Disney for 7.4 billion. Disney itself has a market value of just over 30 billion (80 billion at its peak).

At this time, Netflix’s market value was only 2.5 billion, and Lionsgate was only 1.5 billion.

The market's expectations for Dragon Head are far higher than those of the established company Lionsgate. Last year, Lions Gate's total box office in North America was only over 300 million, which is incomparable to the newly born Dragon Head.

This morning, Wang Quan, Dorothy, Wendy, Gadot, Ma Ling, Suter Green, Chris Meledand and other company shareholders rang the bell on Nasdaq and announced that Longtou was officially listed!

They held each other's hands and looked expectantly at the stock code with the dragon's head on the big screen. When a bunch of numbers appeared on the screen, Gadot asked, "What's the opening price?"

Dorothy said excitedly, "$18.50!"

For the United States, which is still under the influence of the financial crisis, this data is simply too surprising! You must know that the market value of film and television entertainment companies in the United States is basically at its lowest point!

Wang Quan did a quick calculation and found that the market value was 5.5 billion dollars!

Based on the proportion of shares I hold, well, it doesn’t seem to be much, it’s boring.

However, Dorothy was very excited, hugging and kissing Wang Quan in front of Gadot. Gadot didn't care. The opening price was so high, and the good days were still to come.

Of course, Dorothy was also very grateful to her mother, the financial devil Ms. Wendy, who was basically in charge of the listing matters, so she hugged her mother tightly.

Next, Longtou’s stock price kept changing, rising a lot and then falling a little. I don’t know if the closing price can reach 20 dollars today.

Next, the group stayed at the stock exchange market, waiting for the market to close before going to the celebration banquet.

And Dorothy has already started discussing with Wang Quan how to spend the 400 million dollars.

"I think our company's film library is still too thin and lacks foundation. How about annexing several small companies to enrich it?"

This approach is normal. Wang Quan asked, "Which company do you like?"

Dorothy, "What do you think of the top? You can win it with tens of millions."

Without the peak of the "Twilight" series, it is worthless at all. Even if the Original Time and Space owned "Twilight", it only sold 400 million. The value of this small company established in 1997 is not high.

However, they recently have a movie called "The Hurt Locker" that has not yet been released. Wang Quan feels that just because of this movie, Peak needs to buy it. In addition, this company also has the "Dance My Life" series in its film library. and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Two Smoking Barrels", etc.

Wang Quan also proposed a company, "Buy Artisan Entertainment."

"Why buy him? Hasn't it been sold to Lions Gate?"

Wang Quan, "If I have enough money, I would like to buy Lions Gate, but I don't have much money, so I can just buy their subsidiary. It won't cost much."

Artisan Entertainment's film library is not very rich, and the more well-known one is "Blair Witch", but who allows it to hold the copyrights of several Marvel characters, including Black Widow, Punisher, Iron Fist and Humanoid.

Dorothy didn't object, and then the two of them thought of Miramax Pictures.

There are recent rumors that Disney intends to sell the film company founded by the Weinstein brothers in the 1970s after cutting back on staff at Miramax.

Although Harvey's character is not that good, his vision for movies is still very good. This company owns the copyrights of more than 700 movies, many of which are masterpieces. Most of Quentin's works, such as "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Chicago", " "Chocolate", "The English Patient", "Gangster", etc.

In addition, the domestic blockbusters "Hero" and "Shaolin Soccer" in the early 21st century are also in the hands of Miramax.

It’s just that this company is not cheap. It could be said to be a famous company second only to the 6, 7, and 8 major companies. Although the Harvey brothers are not at the helm, and Dimension Pictures was taken away by them, it only has this splendid film library. , and it’s worth a lot of money.

Together, the two of them should be able to win if the company will provide part of the money and Aunt Wendy will provide some.

They are thinking beautifully. Over there in China, the financial and entertainment pages are full of news about Longtou's listing.

When the stock price exceeded 20 yuan in the afternoon, domestic media immediately announced that Longtou’s market value had reached US$6 billion, totaling RMB40 billion!

A Sina report said, "At this time, it is not known how much shares Wang Quan still holds in Longtou, but it will not be less than 25% at least. So starting from today, director Wang Quan's personal net worth exceeds 10 billion!"

The news that "King Quan" is worth tens of billions instantly swept the entire Internet and became the biggest news in the entertainment industry, overwhelming the influence of yesterday's major film festival.

This year's Forbes China Rich List and Hurun Rich List have not yet been announced. According to the Forbes Rich List released at the end of last year, Liu Yongxing ranked first with 20.4 billion, and Ma Huateng ranked ninth with 10.7 billion.

Liu Xiaoli kept smiling while watching the news. Xiao Wang's net worth must have exceeded 10.7 billion. Isn't that the top ten richest man in the country?

Looking at her daughter who was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, Liu Xiaoli was furious. You can't work harder for your mother and snatch Xiao Wang away now!

You have no reputation or status, so your mother can’t go out and brag in a big way!

Although Longtou’s stock price is now very high, Liu Xiaoli quickly spent all her private wealth to buy Longtou’s stock, maybe it will still rise tomorrow.

At more than 20 US dollars per share, Liu Xiaoli directly bought 30,000 shares. It was still difficult to grab this, and she made up her mind not to consider selling it for a year. If she had money, she would buy Longtou.

In Shanghai, Lu Chuan is promoting his new movie "Jinling!" Jinling! ” is recording a program on Dragon TV, and good news has just come, “Jinling! Jinling! 》The box office in the first week was 60 million!

According to this trend, it is a certainty that the box office will exceed 100 million. In other words, he will become the sixth mainland director to exceed 100 million before Ning Hao!

The billionaire director is awesome. From now on, his name will be as famous as Zhang Yimou, Wang Quan and others. Now we have to see if he can break 200 million. If he breaks 200 million, Chen Kaige will be ranked behind him. Say Brother Chuan!

However, just when he was happy, bad news came from the Internet. Longtou was listed on the market, Wang Quan had a net worth of tens of billions, and he was his younger brother!

Ten billion, this, how is this possible!

Lu Chuan didn't trust the conscience of the domestic media. It wasn't an exaggeration to say it, and he wanted to boast about Wang. He only believed in himself. His English was good, so he just read the original English report, and then sat on the sofa blankly.

It turned out to be true!

No, if this company goes public, the founder’s shares will definitely be sold. It’s unclear whether Wang Quan owns 10% of the shares. It might only be in single digits!

Lu Chuan could only comfort himself in this way, but he still seemed absent-minded during the next recording of the program. His mind was filled with 10 billion, 10 billion, which he would never be able to spend in a lifetime!

"Brother, how many shares of Longtou do you still have?" Yang Mi called to chat with Wang Quan.

Wang Quan walked out of the bedroom to answer the phone so as not to disturb Gadot. She was too excited last night and slept very late.

Wang Quan, "Me, I still have 32% of the shares."

In addition, Dorothy holds 40% of the shares, the Greenberg family has increased its holdings to 6%, and Wang Quan's February 2 Fund holds 5%. Wang Quan and Dorothy will definitely reduce their holdings next, but the two have decided The bottom line is that the sum of their shares cannot be less than 50%, ensuring the dominance of the two founders in the company.

Yang Mi thought about it and quickly came up with a figure based on the closing price of Longtou's head, which was 21.8 dollars. "Brother, you are now worth 14 billion RMB. You are one of the top ten richest people in China!"

Wang Quan laughed, "It should be more than that."

"I know, I know. You still have real estate and other companies. That should be about 15 to 6 billion!" Yang Mi's voice was hoarse with excitement. Her brother is so powerful, why should she fight hard? Son!

Wang Quan: Sister, you underestimate your brother. Long Toutou is only a small part of his property.

King Quan, "It should be higher, but it's all theoretical. It's all in the stock market and can't be taken out, so it's just a bunch of numbers."

"That's invincible. You're only 24 years old!" Yang Mi said excitedly, "Brother, can the stock price of Longtoutou still rise? Is it still too late for me to buy it now?"

Wang Quan, "It will definitely rise, but instead of investing money in the US stock market, it is better to find a way to list Power World."

"Powerful world, listed on the market?!" Yang Mi, who had just had the idea of ​​lying down, straightened her back and became energetic when she heard "listed on the market".

"Brother, can I really do this?"

"What's wrong? It will definitely become the norm for domestic film and television companies to go public in the future. I know that Huayi and Chengtian are both thinking of ways to go public." Wang Quan encouraged.

Yang Mi clenched her fists, "Well, brother, I will work hard. By then I will also be the boss of a listed company!"

But after she worked hard, she suddenly thought of something, "No, you are the major shareholder of Power World, and I am just a third shareholder. Why am I so excited?"

Wang Quan, "If you want it, I will give you all the shares I have."

Wang Quan holds 65% of the shares in Power World. If all were given to Yang Mi, she would own nearly 80% of the shares.

At this moment, four big words popped up in Yang Mi's mind: One shot, a million dollars!

Then she quickly refused, "Let's forget it. I'm the major shareholder. I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress Sister Jia and the others, and you're not my boyfriend."

Wang Quan glanced at the direction of the bedroom and said firmly, "How about I give you a few percentage points and make you the second shareholder? Don't be polite to me, we are not outsiders."

"Ah, well," Yang Mi hesitated, "I can still accept the second shareholder."

"Okay, I'll let Chu Ling handle it later." He planned to take out 10 points of shares, giving five points to Yang Mi, four points to Chu Ling, and one point to Yang Tianzhen, who Yang Mi said was very capable.

This woman's abilities shown so far are pretty good and she can help Yang Mi check and balance Zeng Jia.

After hanging up Yang Mi's call, Wang Quan called Chen Chuling. She was a little embarrassed when she heard that she was going to be given shares. But when she heard that it was going to be given to Mi Shi, she had nothing to be embarrassed about. Mi Shi It has no value now.

After putting down the phone, Wang Quan saw that Dorothy's room had a crack in the door, so he pushed the door open and went in, and then saw Dorothy taking a bath in the bathtub.

"What kind of bath did you take so early in the morning?"

Dorothy played with bubbles, "I was so excited yesterday and felt so hot."

Wang Quan touched her forehead and said, "It's not burning."

Dorothy stretched out a leg, "Oh, don't I have a fever~"

Wang Quan glanced outside the door and said, "Get lost, Gadot is still here."

"Now that we know Gadot is here, why didn't you think that I was also in this house last night?" Dorothy snorted. She was so angry last night. If she had known better, she would have asked little K to come to New York with her. What a pity. I don’t have K.

Today's opening price of Longtou was 21.5, which was lower than yesterday's closing price. In the afternoon, the closing price was 20.8. This is a relatively normal market performance. After all, the economic winter has not passed yet, but this can allow all the small treasury to be invested. Liu Xiaoli panicked.

Long Toutou’s market value won’t be at its peak right from the start, right?

She glanced at her daughter and quickly called Wang Quan to ask him, one of her own, whether he could still hold the dragon's head.

As a result, the call didn't go through and the line was busy.

At this time, Wang Quan was on the phone with Naza. She rarely took the initiative to call him. This time she called him directly.

At the beginning, he asked, "Brother, are you really a billionaire?" He was still crying.

Wang Quan frowned, "What's wrong, Naza, is someone bullying you?"

Naza sobbed, "If it's true, can you give me one million and I'll sell myself to you..."
