Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Five: The End.

In the 2015 National Day holiday, [Hong Kong Lost] has been attracting much attention since the start of filming due to its previous foundation of [Hong Kong Lost]. However, in order to prove his strength, Xu Zheng did not choose to cooperate with Huang Bo. Wang Baozui again, but instead invited an unknown actor Bao Beier.

Although Xu Zheng strongly stated that it was because Huang Bo and Wang Baozui had no schedule, but everyone in the circle knew that Xu Zheng's ambition was not satisfied with just being a director and without rich capital. Xu Zheng could only prove through his own strength that he could also carry the box office of a movie alone.

On September 25, [Hong Kong Empress] was released. Although the audience once complained that this drama was a sequel to the dog-tail, although most people think that Bao Beier has portrayed honesty as a fool, when the first-day box office data of [Hong Kong Empress] was released, it still caused crazy media reports.

The box office of 210 million on the first day broke the first day of the Chinese movie box office record, the first day of the 2D movie, and a series of mainland movie related records.

That night, Xu Zheng was as excited as a child. He smiled and burst into tears. Zhou Xing patted him on the shoulder. It was not easy for Xu Zheng to be able to get to where he is today for an ordinary actor who came from an ordinary family, without background and no connections. It is conceivable that the pressure on his shoulders, but fortunately, the result is good.

"Congratulations, starting today, mainland commercial films will have a place."

Xu Zheng nodded gratefully, wiped his tears and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you, sorry, I'm so excited."

Zhou Xing patted his shoulder: "I understand, don't forget, I have also walked from an actor to today little by little."

In the end, [Hong Kong Empress] won 1.61 billion yuan in box office and became the biggest winner in the National Day holiday. Xu Zheng was sought after by investors and became one of the hottest commercial directors at the moment.

Of course, if Xu Zheng wants to truly gain the trust of investors, he must prove his strength again in addition to series such as [Lost in Thailand] and [Lost in Hong Kong].

In addition to movies during the National Day holiday, TV series also attracted a hot growth, and some more idyllic viewers took advantage of the holiday to watch the dramas.

[Good Times] After the broadcast, she was on Magic City Satellite TV and Anhui Satellite TV premiered, with the national average rating reaching 1.136%. Chen Yao also made the audience realize that in addition to the dark loli Yue Qiluo, she also has a generous side.

Compared with the dominant position of the National Day holiday [Hong Kong Embarrassment], the battle for the New Year holiday in 2015 seemed extremely fierce.

[Ghost Blows Out the Light: Dragon Finding Art] is scheduled for December 18th.

[Lao Paoer] starring Xiaogangpao is scheduled to be released on December 24th.

[Detective Chinatown] scheduled for December 31.

【Mermaid】Scheduled on February 8th......

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the phenomenon of these films fighting in the New Year holidays in a market style that the capacity of the mainland film market has become very large. Although the competition for the New Year holidays in the past few years was fierce, it was not so exaggerated.

This is true. [Longhunting Art] finally won 1.67 billion box office, [Lao Cannon] won 900 million box office, [Detective Chinatown] won 823 million box office, and Stephen Chow's [Mermaid] even crazily won 3.38 billion box office, and at the same time broke the mainland box office record of 2.4 billion [Monster Hunt] and successfully topped the list.

What’s more interesting is that since she was cheated by Huayi last time, Stephen Chow has never cooperated with Huayi again. This time [Mermaid] has even joined the name of Huayi’s old rival, Light.

The light has surpassed Huayi for the first time and became the most successful film and television company in the mainland. I don’t know if the Wang brothers regretted saving the 80 million in order to save. After all, the losses this time [Mermaid] brought to Huayi far exceeded 80 million.

In 2016, it gradually fell into silence after the New Year's holiday, and the subsequent movies did not bring too many surprises. There were many movies full of criticism, such as [Journey to the West: The Three Fighting the Bone Demon] and the Tomb Raiders' Chronicles. The [Operation Mekong River], which originally thought it was the main theme movie, was eye-catching and finally won 1.18 billion yuan in box office.

"Zhixing Film and Television" did not shoot movies in 2016, but instead focused all its energy on TV series.

[Ode to Joy] It was jointly premiered on April 18 on Magic City Satellite TV and Zhejiang Blue Satellite TV. Once it was broadcast, it resonated with many urban women.

Andy, played by Li Xiaoran, has a cold and abstinent face, but the audience loves and pitys because of her poor life experience.

Qu Xiaoxiao played by Chen Yao is eccentric and has a loli face that has attracted countless fans for her. Speaking of which, 2015-2016 is definitely the year when Chen Yao has a great harvest. In just one year, she has gone from being an unknown little transparent to a new generation of popular actresses. Especially the roles played by the three works are different, which also proves the plasticity of her acting skills and a bright future.

Wang Zhi participated in [Hong Kong Empress], which was originally just because he didn't have a suitable script to show his face, but unexpectedly, after the movie was broadcast, her pure appearance made many viewers say: I met my first love again, and this time I played a good girl like Guan Juer in [Ode to Joy] and also won the love of many viewers.

Strictly speaking, Qiu Yingying, played by Yang Zi, can only be regarded as the fourth female role, far less than Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao. However, after the broadcast of [Ode to Joy], the audience broke the previous stereotype of her good girl "Xiaoxue". Qiu Yingying, played by her, is honest, impulsive, and sometimes even a little stupid. However, it is this stupidity that allows the audience to see Yang Zi's efforts and changes.

Fan Shengmei, played by Jiang Qin, is definitely the most controversial character in the play. The audience feels pity for her and thinks she is self-bearing. However, these debates add up to it, undoubtedly a recognition of Jiang Qin's acting skills.

In addition to the five beauties of Ode to Joy, the love and fight between Dr. Zhao Qiping and Qu Xiaoxiao played by Wang Kai also gave the audience a further understanding of him. It turned out that he could not only play the upright Seventh Prince.

In addition to [Ode to Joy], [Small Farewell] has also become a popular TV series of the year to gain a large number of audiences. Unfortunately, several young actors in this drama are under 18 years old and cannot sign contracts with the company.

[Ode to Joy] and [Small Farewell] are two big projects. Another small project unexpectedly received high praise from the entire network, that is, [The Best Us]. Geng Geng and Yu Huai became synonymous with young love in their students for a while.

2017 is definitely a memorable year for Chinese-language movies. During the summer season, [Wolf Warrior 2] finally won an astonishing box office of 5.68 billion, which not only broke the box office record of [Mermaid], but also directly raised this record to a level that was almost difficult to break.

And Wu Jing finally successfully gained a place in Chinese-language movies with this movie.

The competition for the National Day holiday is also quite fierce. Since the popularity of [Charlotte's Troubles] last year, Happy Twist has once again created the [Shameful Iron Fist] and is coming in full force.

Wang Jing's [Chasing the Dragon] was released on the same day. Speaking of which, Wang Jing has never gotten rid of the title of a bad film director over the years. He still gritted his teeth and filmed three films. He had no choice but to make money.

However, many viewers were surprised that this movie [Chasing Dragon] was unexpectedly good, with a Douban score of 75, and finally won 575 million.

[Shy Iron Fist] Still adhering to Happy Twist's usual comedy style, it finally won 2.21 billion yuan in box office, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate in comedy movies.

Compared with the National Day holiday, the battle in the New Year holiday is not bad. After the box office reputation of [The Taoist priests went down the mountain], Chen Kai learned from his mistakes and decided not to participate in the screenwriter and returned with [The Legend of Cat Demon] two years later.

To be honest, in Zhou Xing's opinion, this drama is still good. Unfortunately, due to Brother Chen's squandering fame over the years, the audience seems to no longer believe that he can make a good movie. The box office of this [Cat Demon Legend] is only 600 million.

There is a very interesting phenomenon here. [Cat Demon Legend] claims to invest 1 billion in filming, but it includes "Tangcheng", which was built by the local government and the crew is just rented. In fact, the cost of [Cat Demon Legend] is only less than 250 million. Moreover, this drama is cooperated with a large e-commerce platform, and 100 million tickets are not counted at the box office. After this calculation, [Cat Demon Legend] does not lose money.

Some netizens joked that Brother Chen Kai has been a director for so many years. He should have set up a company to build ancient buildings, such as the Qin Palace built by [Assassination of Qin], and the Tang City in this [The Legend of Cat Demon] has definitely restored the ancient style to the greatest extent.

Han Han's [Riding the Wind and Waves] became a dark horse, and in the New Year holiday, where competition was fierce, he finally won a box office of 1.06 billion.

Two years later, [Detective Chinatown 2] came again and finally won a high box office of 3.39 billion.

However, what surprised everyone was that such a high box office did not win the annual box office championship. [Operation Red Sea], which was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, gradually counterattacked with its outstanding reputation and finally won a box office of 3.65 billion, reaching the top in one fell swoop.

For two consecutive years, "Zhixing Film and Television" has never made any movies. In addition to occasionally investing in some movies, its main energy has been on TV series. In recent years, online video platforms have been increasing in the acquisition prices of TV series. If this trend is not grasped, I don’t know when it will happen.

In 2018, due to the proliferation of various ancient costumes and Qing palace dramas in the past few years, the country began to restrict the number of ancient costume dramas and the number of Qing palace dramas broadcast on TV platforms. For this reason, "Zhixing Film and Television" also followed the trend and focused its shooting on urban dramas.

[Dajiang Dahe] became the first project of "Zhixing Film and Television" after the beginning of the year, and Wang Kai naturally became the only candidate for the male lead.

Wang Zhi also got the role of the female lead Song Yunping.

Due to the increase in copyright fees for online novels in recent years, "Zhixing Film and Television" has begun to cooperate with China Literature Group. The first project is [Jiangye]. For this reason, Tencent behind China Literature also found Zhou Xing, hoping to acquire "Zhixing Film and Television".

Zhou Xing did not agree to this, but also stated that if Tencent only invested in a stake, it could be considered.

In the end, "Zhixing Film and Television" was valued at 23.8 billion yuan, and Zhou Xing sold 15% of the shares and sold them to Tencent for 3.57 billion yuan. Once the news broke, it caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.

You should know that "Zhixing Film and Television" has not yet been listed, and its valuation is as high as 23.8 billion. Isn't it normal for the market value to increase by two or three times in the future?

In other words, a film and television company with a scale of 100 billion will appear in the entertainment industry again?

For this reason, Zhou Xing received countless messy calls, including colleagues, investors, friends, and even Tong Liya was surprised to knock on his head for a long time.

"Stop making trouble."

"Don't move, let me see what's different about a head worth hundreds of billions." Tong Liya laughed aside after saying that.

Zhou Xing glared at her angrily. The child was in elementary school. Apart from his figure being a little more graceful than before, this woman seemed to have no change at all.

"Dad, you are so rich. Can I just wait for death without struggling to fight?" Zhou Hao said with his little face tilted.

Zhou Xing almost choked to death by a mouthful of milk: "What a mess? Who did you hear this?"

"I saw it online. It said that your net worth is over 100 billion yuan. How much is a 100 billion yuan?" The little guy has no specific concept of money.

Zhou Xing rubbed his son's head: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the media, how can there be hundreds of billions? That is, a little money for our pension. Besides, boys have to take on the responsibility of their family. When you are in love and get married, you will ask your dad for money. Are you embarrassed?"

"What's so sorry? My mother hasn't been working and spends money all day long, so she can't even put down the express delivery at home."

Faced with his son's naked contempt, Tong Liya was so angry that she wanted to pull his ears. Zhou Xing secretly laughed, but for his son's education, he still taught a lesson with a stern face: "So, think about it, if you marry a wife in the future, you will be the same as your mother. If you don't make money, can you just rely on your father alone?"

The two looked at each other and smiled and high-fives at each other. Tong Liya was furious.

After the news of Tencent's acquisition of "Zhixing Film and Television" shares came out, the most anxious thing was naturally New Classic Media. Originally, when it came into contact with Tencent and New Classic Media, it was planned to acquire it with full capital. However, now "Zhixing Film and Television" suddenly appeared halfway.

In terms of efficiency, "Zhixing Film and Television" is much better than New Classics Media, with a profit of several hundred million yuan every year, and it is quite stable.

In terms of the work "Zhixing Film and Television" has become a golden signboard in the TV drama industry, and all the TV dramas produced in recent years have not been popular.

What's more, there are so many celebrity artists under the name of "Zhixing Film and Television", and the income structure is more diversified than that of New Classics Media.

However, what is amazing is that after Tencent acquired 15% of the equity of "Zhixing Film and Television", it did not give up on acquiring New Classics Media, but signed a bet agreement with New Classics Media and finally acquired New Classics Media in full.

Judging from these two acquisitions, Tencent's intention to get involved in the film and television industry to open up the entire upstream and downstream supply chain is already obvious.

After obtaining Tencent's investment, Zhou Xing did not transfer the money by cleverly, but expanded the scale of "Zhixing Film and Television". Whether in terms of investment or self-control, the previous budget was based on half a year, and it directly turned out to be unlimited. As long as the project passed the review, the project could be established.

In 2019, "Zhixing Film and Television" returned to its old career and produced three movies in one go, namely: [Flying Life] [Wandering Earth] [Crazy Alien], with a very good box office reputation.
