Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This news was so shocking that at two o'clock in the afternoon, the official website of Meihua Media and the "Colorful Plum Blossom" website, which had just released the news, were quickly crashed by enthusiastic netizens. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening.  Back to normal.

    "Ah ah ah, my God, Qin Tianzhu is crazy, Meihua Media is crazy! I'm going crazy too!"

    "100 million yuan? Is Keanu Reeves' salary so expensive?"

    "Nonsense, after "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves is the most expensive star on the planet, with a basic salary of 13 million US dollars. In the first part of "The Matrix" alone, he earned 4,000 in salary plus dividends  Ten thousand US dollars. Receiving 100 million yuan from Meihua Media is already a huge honor!"

    "Yes, I can act in a TV series, and I am not the first protagonist. It should be because I am friends with Qin Tianzhu. Although it has not been reported much in the media, many people know that one of the screenwriters of "The Matrix"  As soon as there was Qin Tianzhu, they should have formed a friendship at that time."

    "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or cheap, we the audience just need to lie back and enjoy it. Oh, it's so great. Keanu Reeves plays the role of Lobo. I've never had such a big idea in my mind before."

    "Hey, with Keanu Reeves here, "The Legend of Two Dragons" has re-entered the mainstream market in Europe and the United States. Are there any doubts about this?"

    There is a lot of excitement and excitement on the Internet. Netizens are imagining what it will be like after the production of this masterpiece is completed.

    Unlike online public opinion, traditional media such as print media and TV stations are extremely shocked by this earth-shattering news, but most of their views are conservative and cautious.  Some media even directly gave negative comments and were not optimistic about Meihua Media's big adventure.

    ??Most of them analyze it from the perspective of cost-benefit of a TV series, so it is more reasonable and well-founded.

    ""Datang" will be the Waterloo directed by Qin Tianzhu.

    As soon as Keanu Reeves joined, many people thought that it was a certainty that "The Great Tang" would re-enter the U.S. market. This was really wishful thinking and they didn't understand the state of the U.S. television industry.  In the American television industry, ratings are king. As long as a show's ratings are unsatisfactory, it can be cut off at any time, no matter how sophisticated the production is or how famous the actors are.  "Datang" is different from "Prison Break" in that it is a martial arts historical drama with strong Chinese culture.  This type of TV series wouldn't even make it past the pilot episode if it were put on a mainstream TV station in the United States.

    The huge investment in "Datang" is destined to be in vain.  "¡ª¡ª"Southern Weekend"

    The news of Keanu Reeves joining "Datang" was so eye-catching that even the "People's Daily" paid great attention to the matter and published a special commentator article.  However, unlike the previous attitude that was always optimistic about Qin Tianzhu and Meihua Media, this time, the "People's Daily" also believed that Qin Tianzhu's move was too much.

    "Obviously, the long-term success has caused Qin Tianzhu and his Meihua Media to lose due caution. Qin Tianzhu wants to promote "Datang" globally and promote Chinese culture and history to the world. This is a good idea,  But implementation should be more down-to-earth. Promoting Chinese culture and cultural products is not an overnight success, but a long-term process. Even Hollywood movies took a long time to dominate the world.

    Qin Tianzhu has invested heavily in "Datang" and is suspected of being eager for success.  Meihua Media may not even be able to recover the huge investment cost of "Datang".  Nowadays, many media are not optimistic about "Datang", which should be a kind reminder that we don't want our talented young people to get into too deep.  I hope that these worries of friends in the media will prove to be unfounded in the end.

    In the end, I still hope that "Datang" can achieve commercial success like Qin Tianzhu's other works.  After all, Qin Tianzhu is a talented young man who can always create miracles. We should still have some confidence in him.  "

    Across the ocean, the American media is also paying close attention to this news.

    "Keanu Reeves' participation in a Chinese TV series project is indeed unexpected. I really didn't expect that a Chinese TV series production company would be able to hire Keanu. It must be admitted that China Qin is a  A very courageous young man. Obviously, after he tasted the success of "Prison Break" once, he wanted to do it again.

    But I still want to remind China Qin that although the meat in the American market is fat, it is not so easy to get it into your mouth.  Keanu is a good actor, and Americans love Keanu.  But American audiences are very sensible, and they won¡¯t necessarily like watching it just because it¡¯s a TV series starring Keanu.  Everything still needs to be seen whether the TV series itself can attract the attention of American audiences.  ¡±¡ª¡ª"Los Angeles Times"

    In the biography of Yihua Brothers?? Company, Chairman Wang Jun and his brother Wang Lei are also talking about this major event in the domestic entertainment industry.

    Wang Lei said with envy: "Meihua Media is so proud that a TV series can hire Keanu Reeves!"

    Wang Jun said: "It still needs a lot of lining!"

    100 million yuan?  The Yihua Brothers have yet to have a project with a total cost of 100 million, let alone just one actor's salary.

    Wang Lei suddenly said excitedly: "Brother, the newspapers are saying that Qin Tianzhu is likely to have a big somersault this time. Do you think this is possible?"

    In Wang Lei¡¯s view, if Meihua Media collapses, it will be equivalent to a mountain being removed from the heads of the Yihua brothers, and the prospects for Yihua will be smooth.

    Wang Jun strangely forgot to glance at Wang Lei: "Why, do you really want to see Meihua Media fail?"

    Wang Lei did not deny it, and said bluntly: "Brother, there is nothing wrong with this, right? We are direct competitors with Meihua, how can we still hope that they will continue to prosper? What's more, this time it is Qin Tianzhu who is hot-headed, not us.  Trouble him. I estimate that the production cost of "Datang" will not be less than 100 million US dollars. If you are not careful, it is very possible to lose all your money."

    Wang Jun blew the tea leaves in the cup and said slowly: "Xiao Lei, I think a little differently from you. How can I put it, although Meihua Media is an extremely powerful opponent, we can only drink some if we follow it.  Soup, soup, water. But you can't deny that the big market for domestic TV dramas was basically opened up by Meihua Media. Although we in Yihua can only drink some soup, our days are better than before.  A lot.¡±

    After Wang Jun took a sip of tea, he continued: "Speaking of the "Datang" project, I don't want to see Meihua Media fail. Don't forget, there are more than a dozen of our Yihua brothers in this drama.  If "Datang" can once again enter the European and American mainstream markets, these artists from our company will at least become familiar to the international community.

    On the other hand, after "Datang" reaches Europe and the United States, Chinese martial arts and historical film and television works will be of great benefit to us Yihua brothers even if they have a certain international market.  "

    Wang Lei didn't expect his brother to think so far-reaching, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. In the end, he had to admit: "Brother, what you said makes sense. I mainly feel that our Yihua is always suppressed by Meihua like this, and it feels very  It¡¯s just aggrieved, but it¡¯s not as deep as you think.¡±

    Wang Jun said with a smile: "Even without Meihua, our Yihua family has no final say in the domestic entertainment industry. Except for some powerful state-owned units, Jujiang and Helen, both private companies, are not easy to mess with.  Helen, in particular, has been gaining momentum in recent times.¡±

    After "Meteor Garden", Yihua learned from the pain and determined to comprehensively learn the rules and regulations of Meihua Media. As a result, he lost many talents such as screenwriters or directors who like to be free.  Among several powerful large companies, Meihua and Jujiang people also have standardized company system constraints, and most of these talents were eventually lost to Helen Film and Television.  Therefore, Helen Film and Television has gained momentum in recent times.

    Wang Lei is responsible for the specific operations of the company and doesn¡¯t pay much attention to Helen Film and Television: ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry, our company¡¯s institutional construction has slowly got on the right track, but Helen is still following the same old path. Even if it is prosperous now, it will not be the same in the future.  After all, they are not our opponents.¡±

    There were a lot of discussions outside, but Qin Tianzhu and Meihua Media, who were in the eye of the public opinion storm, remained unmoved. Apart from releasing news to the outside world, they did not accept interviews from any media.  At the same time, another major event in the cultural industry is underway in a low-key manner.

    On December 17, in the conference hall of Meihua Media Headquarters, representatives from Meihua Media, Heng*dian Group, Lingquan Municipal Government, Liu Dehua and other parties gathered together to formally sign a memorandum of cooperation to form a new Meihua Group.

    In order to strengthen his control over New Plum Blossom Media, Qin Tianzhu deliberately cashed out 2 billion yuan from Global Village Technology and continued to increase his stake in Plum Blossom Media.  At the same time, his shareholding ratio in Global Village Technology dropped to 42%. This is not his main business. Qin Tianzhu is not concerned about his absolute control of Global Village Technology.

    The new Meihua Group is valued at around 30 billion yuan.  Qin Tianzhu personally holds 53% of the equity and is the largest shareholder, Lingquan City Government holds 31% and is the second largest shareholder, Heng*dian Group holds 8% and is the third largest shareholder, and the former Meihua Media Employee Stock Ownership Association holds 6%.  It is the fourth largest shareholder, and Liu Dehua accounts for 2, making it the fifth largest shareholder.

    Qin Tianzhu is the chairman of the board of directors, Xu Yongan, Zhou Jiapeng, Liu Dehua and Ma Xin, deputy mayor of the Lingquan Municipal Government, are the company directors, plus an external ** director, which together form the company's board of directors.

      Zhou Jiapeng is the president of the group company, and Xu Yongan, Wang Yu, Jin Guanghua and Cao Guowei are the company's vice presidents.  Among them, Xu Yongan is responsible for the theme park business; Wang Yu is responsible for the expansion of the group's overseas business; Jin Guanghua is responsible for the investment, production, and distribution of the company's film and television products; Cao Guowei is the CEO of Xinlang Chinese designated by Qin Tianzhu and is responsible for the group's Internet media business.

    The new Meihua Media Group includes Meihua Film and Television Theme Park, Meihua Entertainment Company, Yingyi Entertainment Company (focusing on art films and top films as well as the discovery of new talents), Meihua Music, Meihua Agency Company, New Thinking Advertising Company, and Xinlang Chinese  , "Hurun" magazine, Qidian Chinese, Tianxia Publishing House and many other wholly-owned subsidiaries.

    The territory of Meihua Group¡¯s cultural media empire has begun to take shape.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
