America's Road to Fame

Chapter 392 The Eastern Superhero

Previously, both Fan Bingbing and Quan Zhixian, as the producers of the second episode of "Extreme Game", were following the crew to produce.

This time Fan Bingbing took the time to come back, mainly because Huace Film and Television is planning to make a big move in the film industry.

Prior to this, the shareholding structure of Huace Film and Television was that the founder and CEO Zhao Yifang held 41.3% of the shares, Future Entertainment Media Company held 41% of the shares, and Fan Bingbing Studio held 17.7% of the shares. Chinese company.

It is worth mentioning that Fan Bingbing's studio has been renamed and registered as a formal film and television investment company, named Meishen Film and Television Investment, and Fan Bingbing still holds 51% of the shares, his mother 4%, and Huaxia Future Capital holds 45% of the shares. .

At the beginning of this year, Huace Films landed on the A-share market, known as Huaguo's "No. 50 TV drama stock", especially the "Extreme Game" they cooperated with Netflix, which was popular all over the world, so their IPO was extremely successful , the stock was very popular, because investors were too active during the road show, and the number of pre-orders was several times the number of shares issued, so the issue price continued to increase. The final issue price was 4236 yuan, and 16944 million shares were issued, accounting for the total share capital. 25% of the 84.72 million shares. Calculated at this price, after the issuance of new shares, the valuation of Huace Film and Television will reach [-] billion Chinese dollars, becoming the third largest private film and television company in China after Huayi Company and Enlight Media.

After the listing of Huace Film and Television, the founder and CEO Zhao Yifang held nearly 5248 million ordinary shares, with a shareholding ratio of 30.975%; Future Entertainment Media Company held 5210 million ordinary shares, with a shareholding ratio of 30.75%; The investment holds 2250 million ordinary shares, with a shareholding ratio of 13.275%.

On the day when Huace Film and Television went public, it jumped 62% at the opening, with an opening price of 81 yuan. The highest price on the day touched more than 90 yuan, and finally closed at 85.5 yuan.

Calculated according to this price, the market value of Huace Film and Television is as high as nearly 145 billion Chinese dollars. Now, after Huace Film and Television has successively acquired a number of film and television production, distribution and content companies in China, the latest stock price is 127 yuan, with a market value of As high as 215 billion Chinese dollars, it is already close to Enlight Media, which ranks second among private companies.

If calculated based on this market value, the shares of Huace Film and Television held by Meishen Film and Television Investment Company controlled by Fan Bingbing are worth 28.575 billion Chinese dollars. She and her mother are only holding shares of Meishen Film and Television Investment Company, and their net worth has reached 15.7 billion Chinese dollars was spent, which can be called horror.

Another reason why the stock price of Huace Film and Television has risen so quickly is that although the tradable shares account for 25% of the total share capital, after its IPO and listing, the future investment company has been continuously absorbing Huace For film and television stocks, Future Investment currently holds 1690 million Huace Film and Television stocks, with an average share price of around 75 yuan (the total average price after IPO and listing), accounting for 9.975% of the total share capital.

In this way, the three companies, Future Entertainment Media, Future Investment, and Meishen Film and Television Investment, hold a total of 54% of the shares of Huace Film and Television, ensuring the actual control of this company.

Next, Meta Entertainment Media Company, which holds the copyright of Marvel Comics, will form a joint venture company with Huace Film and Television Company in China. The new company will be called Marvel Huaguo Company.

In Marvel Huaguo Company, Meta Entertainment and Media Company will put the superheroes in the Marvel comic universe about Huaguo, as well as the right to use the background of the Marvel universe and the adaptation rights of related plots, at a valuation of 1.5 million US dollars. A joint venture with a 30% stake.

And Meta Entertainment Media Company promised to allow Marvel Huaguo to communicate with Marvel Entertainment, and to create new superheroes and characters related to the plot of Huaguo in comic works.

Huace film and television company invested 1 million US dollars, and provided related film and television production and publicity resources, and occupied 30% of the shares of Marvel Huaguo.

WSS Investment Company invested 5000 million US dollars and holds 10% of the shares of Marvel Huaguo.

Weimi Investment Company invested 2500 million US dollars and holds 5% of the shares of Marvel Huaguo.

Future Entertainment Media Company invested 6000 million US dollars, as well as related film and television resources, and holds 19% of the shares of Marvel Huaguo.

After the share distribution was completed, Yang Mi knew that Meishen Film and Television Investment Company was a company controlled by Fan Bingbing, and she knew about other companies. She looked at the name of WSS Investment Company and thought to herself, William and Shishi?Knowing the inside story, she understood that it should be William Chen's shares to the pregnant Liu Shishi.

Having a child is different. My own Weimi investment can only get 5% of the shares. Thinking of this, Yang Mi couldn't help touching her stomach. Why is she so unlucky, and she also studied hard ah.

But thinking of my recent busyness, and thinking of Liu Shishi who is going to leave work because she is about to give birth, and even leave Huaguo for at least a year, well, let's wait a little longer, let's talk about it when I have a foundation for my career.

In the current Marvel universe, after launching two "Iron Man" movies and an "Invincible Hulk", "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Thor" will be released this year. The popular response, the box office also satisfied the [-]th Century MGM Pictures, so now it has started filming "The Avengers", which will be released next year and will bring together many superheroes.

Therefore, under this background, coupled with the development of Huaguo's film and television industry, in addition to producing the traditional American storyline of the Marvel Universe in Hollywood, it seems to be a good idea to open up the storyline of the Marvel Universe in China.

In fact, in the original Marvel comics, there are many Huaguo characters, including villains and superheroes, such as Mandarin, Shangqi, Wanzhongxia, etc. Even Huaguo has a superhero organization similar to the "Avengers" , such as "Chinese Team", "Immortal Weapon", "People's Defense Force"... and even "The Xian" which evolved from myths and legends.

If Marvel Huaguo is used to shoot Marvel Universe film and television works based on Huaguo, or the Greater China region including Japan and South Korea, then some of these characters can be used or borrowed from, but it must be corrected. The characters, plots, backgrounds, etc. need to be modified and recreated, and even some new superheroes need to be created.

After all, the characters and stories about Huaguo created from the perspective of the Americans are hard to describe.

In this way, Marvel Huaguo Company has obtained the authorization to use and re-create the superheroes of the Marvel Universe China, and then it will be able to shoot the Huaguo version of the "Avengers" series of movies and inject them with Huaguo's own characters. The connotation of the essence of culture, rather than the purely American world view, is what William Chen is looking forward to. It should be quite interesting for Captain Hua to meet Captain America in the future.

Of course, with the current situation of Marvel Huaguo Company, although there is no shortage of funds, it is a bit difficult to directly produce movies. First of all, it will not be like the Marvel Universe produced by the Marvel Studios of MGM Pictures in the [-]th century. Movies, then have a mass base.

Therefore, at the beginning, Marvel Huaguo Company will first conduct fanartistic essay writing activities for superheroes in the Greater China region of the Marvel Universe through the China Literature Group, a subsidiary of Future Entertainment Media Company, based on Shanda Literature, and review related content. Launch superhero comics and other forms for promotion and content construction.

Then Huace Film and Television Company will cooperate with Netflix to produce related Huaguo superhero drama series.

Finally, after these Chinese superheroes have a certain popularity and mass base, they will launch related movie works.
