Chapter 394 2013 Development Project
"Boss Wang, this is our overall work project plan for this year."

In the small conference room on the 6th floor of Galaxy Building, Zhao Hetai, the general manager of the [Film and Television Production Business Group] and Galaxy Pictures, stood in front of the display screen and made a respectful introduction.

“Among the company’s planned projects, the films that will be released in the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] include Gravity, Transcendence, Machinist, Vice City and Distortion.

Non-movie universe works include "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" directed by Tsui Hark.

Among them, your film Gravity has already been released. The remaining films, except for Transcendence, have also completed post-production, and the subsequent releases will proceed as planned.

In terms of TV series, the main ones that have been completed and will be broadcast this year include the movie universe derivative TV series "Detective Chinatown", "Unnatural Death", "Love O2O" and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier ".

The company has invested in and produced TV series that are not related to the movie universe, such as "The Girls of Luoyang".

Zhao Hetai introduced while pressing the laser pen in his hand.

On the screen, the details of each project were scrolling in turn. After introducing the film and television projects that were completed last year and will be released this year, he began to introduce the work tasks of the Galaxy Group's film and television production department this year.

"This year, the company is currently planning to shoot and produce the Galaxy Cinematic Universe project, and the main films include Wolf Warriors 2, Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department, Now You See Me, Detective Chinatown 2, and Cold War.

The TV series are "Person of Interest" and "Forensic Qin Ming".

In addition, non-movie universe projects include "A Man's Martial Arts", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Come, My Love".

Of course, these are projects that have been basically confirmed and are in the early stages of preparation and production. Some projects are still in the intention stage and have not yet been officially started.

Our film and television production department will also step up follow-up, attention and management, and strive to not miss any good project."

Wang Hao flipped through the project plan in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

The current development of the Galaxy Group is completely on the right track, and each branch has its own complete set of system processes.

This certainly does not mean that the development of each branch can be completely separated from his guidance, but at least in terms of overall operations, the company can operate normally and develop well even without his excessive attention.

“Yes, the film and television department has been running well under the management of President Zhao over the past year, and its business is also among the best in the entire group company. I am very satisfied with this.

After all, everyone knows that in addition to being the chairman of the group company, I am also the chief planner and a director of the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe].

Inevitably, my energy was distracted from company development.

So thanks to your strong support, we have been able to grow Galaxy Group to its current size and continue to grow and develop. Everyone here can be said to be a contributor to Galaxy Group.

This meritorious service deserves a reward. I believe everyone should know that Galaxy Pictures is currently preparing for financing and listing. "

As soon as Wang Hao said this, most of the people present breathed faster. Of course, they all knew about Galaxy Pictures' financing and future listing.

After all, the people from the major investment banks would not avoid them when they came to the company for audit investigations, and they also understood what it would mean for the company to go public.

“Although our Galaxy Group is not an Internet company, we will still implement the talent shareholding plan that traditional Internet companies follow during their listing process.

In the future, everyone here will receive a portion of the original shares of Galaxy Pictures. Galaxy Pictures will no longer be my, Wang Hao’s, personal Galaxy Pictures, but everyone’s Galaxy Pictures.

With its listing, everyone here will also receive generous rewards. At least in my personal opinion, the listing of Galaxy Pictures will be far more successful than that of Huayi Group. "

Wang Hao looked at everyone with confidence, and everyone present stood up and applauded with excited faces flushed.

Of course, they have great confidence in the listing of Galaxy Pictures. After all, the current market value of Huayi Group is 300 billion.

Their Galaxy Pictures is currently more successful than Huayi Group and is one of the leading companies in the film and television industry. Its market value must be higher than that of Huayi Group.

The market value after listing should be at least 500 billion, even if it is not 400 billion.

As the management of Galaxy Pictures, they can also get some shares.

When the company goes public, you can achieve financial freedom by simply selling it.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Galaxy Group will continue to develop well in the future and do better and better.

Wang Hao is quite confident about this, because during the meetings in the past few days, he talked most about listing.

It's not just the listing plan of Galaxy Pictures, but also the listing plans of Tao Piaopiao, StarReader Chinese, and StarGame Entertainment, which have made the employees and management of the relevant business groups very excited.

If you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it some grass.

The listing plan of Galaxy Group's affiliated industries and employee stock ownership are the best fodder.

Inspired by these resources, Galaxy Group is also transforming from a large-scale cultural, film and television entertainment company to a capital platform.

As to whether this change is good or bad, we can only wait and see.

Wang Hao spent more than a week and finally sorted out all the internal affairs of the company.

Today, the film and television business production group is the last department he sorted out, and it is also the most important one.

It was far from enough to just listen to their work reports. After the meeting, he had to go deep into each project team.

Whether it is a completed project, an ongoing project, or a newly launched project, he has to go and see it in person.

Zhao Hetai, as the general manager of the business group, was of course aware of this, so he did not spend too much effort on the introduction.

The morning meeting was quickly concluded, and then he took Wang Hao to the grassroots level, going deep into the various crews and business departments under the company.

While working at the grassroots level, Wang Hao also received some opinions and suggestions from grassroots employees and heads of other departments.

Among them, the words of a technical director of the Starlight Fantasy Special Effects Company aroused Wang Hao's interest.

"Mr. Wang, I want to develop a new project. Does the company have any ideas?"

Li Kun, a tall and thin man in his 30s who is the head of the special effects team, looked at Wang Hao and asked bravely.

"The company has always encouraged employees to be bold and innovative. If you have any ideas, just tell me directly." Wang Hao encouraged him with a smile. Li Kun was very excited and said quickly:

"It's like this, Mr. Wang. I think with our company's current technological level, we are fully capable of expanding our business in the 3D animation field."

"The company does have plans in this regard. Do you already have any ideas in this regard?" Wang Hao asked curiously.

Li Kun shook his head and nodded.

“It’s like this, Mr. Wang, I have a friend who has a 3D animation project that he has been working on for many years.

We are having some financial difficulties right now, so I think we can talk to him and see if we can take over the project or invest in it.”

Having said that, Li Kun hastily explained, as if he was worried that his suggestion would be suspected of having other selfish motives:
“I have also looked at his project, which is indeed a very good project, but due to funding and technical issues, it has been in the final polishing stage.

There are not many project teams and practitioners doing 3D animation in China. It is rare to find one. I think it would be a pity if they failed.”

Wang Hao is still somewhat interested in the 3D animation project that Li Kun mentioned. After all, as he said, there are not many companies in China investing in this area, and there are also fewer directors and creators willing to delve deeply into this industry.

However, 3D animation is also an important part of the development of the film and television industry. Wang Hao is not one of those people in China who are prejudiced against animation and comics. He knows that these are not just industries for the younger generation.

With the country's economic development, the animation industry is becoming more and more popular among all ages.

Foreign 3D animation companies such as Disney and DreamWorks have considerable annual revenues, and their related peripheral products are also hot sellers.

"What's the name of that friend you're talking about? What 3D animation project is he making?"

Wang Hao looked at Li Kun and asked.

Li Kun quickly replied:
"His name is Tian Xiaopeng. He is currently working on a 3D animation project related to Journey to the West. As for the specific name, it seems that it has not been determined yet.

But he has been working on this project for six or seven years, and many people in the industry know him.”

3D animation, Tian Xiaopeng, "Journey to the West".

After hearing these key pieces of information, Wang Hao instantly had an idea of ​​a project that would become a big hit in the future - "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

Sure enough, as Li Kun introduced in more detail, various pieces of information coincided with the memories in Wang Hao's mind.

According to the other party, the project only needs some additional investment, and the project should be completed and released the year after next. "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" happened to be released around 2015.

"Not bad," Wang Hao nodded, and then said, "I am very interested in this project. You should contact your friend first and ask him to come to our company to meet with Mr. Zhao from the Film and Television Production Group."

Li Kun was delighted when he heard this and thanked him repeatedly. Then he ran out to contact his good friend and inform him of the good news.

After leaving the special effects department, Wang Hao asked before Zhao Hetai could speak.

"I remember that our company won't have any big productions released during the Spring Festival next year."

Zhao Hetai originally wanted to talk about 3D animation, but when he heard Wang Hao's question, he was stunned. He didn't know why the boss asked this, but he still answered:

“Yes, this year’s other major project, Transcendence, is scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday, and your next film, Wolf Warriors 2, is scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday next year.

During the 2014 Spring Festival, our company did not prepare any major productions. The production department is planning to select one of the spin-off films and release it during the Spring Festival next year."

"That won't work." Wang Hao shook his head.

"The release of my film Gravity this year can be said to have completely heated up the Spring Festival prime time period.

I am afraid that the movie-watching craze during the Spring Festival next year will be even greater than this year. In the future, everyone will get used to watching movies during the Spring Festival.

This will become a new must-fight schedule, and our group company must also pay attention to it.”

Zhao Hetai nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Boss Wang, you are right. We will definitely pay attention to it. However, the movie that will be released during the Spring Festival next year..."

"I remember that Xinghao Company over in Xiangjiang invested 2.5 million in a real-life magic action 3D movie a few years ago. It should be almost finished now, right?"

Zhao Hetai didn't expect Wang Hao to suddenly change the subject. He thought about it carefully before answering:
“That should be the case. Their movie project has a large investment and also has a lot of special effects.

We also bid for "Starlight Fantasy", but we didn't win. However, we have also paid attention to the information in this regard. The film should be entering the final stage now."

"This kind of big investment and big production is probably very picky about the choice of release date.

This year's National Day has our "Transcendence" in the schedule. The other party has learned from the previous experience of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and I think they will not compete with us head-on. I guess they will release it during the Spring Festival next year."

Wang Hao said this with a smile and continued to instruct Zhao Hetai.

"What a coincidence, both are about Journey to the West. How about this, you sign the 3D Journey to the West animation project of Li Kun's friend, and then let the company set up a 3D animation production department to provide technical support for the project.

We will try to complete this project as soon as possible and release it during the Spring Festival next year. By then, we will use Journey to the West-themed 3D animation to compete with their special effects movie Havoc in Heaven. "

Zhao Hetai looked embarrassed when he heard this, and subconsciously reminded:

"Mr. Wang has animated films like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and Boonie Bears released during the Spring Festival every year, and the performance is very stable. If we release another animated film, the competition will be very intense."

“Don’t worry about that.” Wang Hao waved his hand, “The two animated films, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, are still mainly aimed at the children’s market.

Our 3D animation is for all ages, so the two are not in conflict."

Zhao Hetai knew that Chairman Wang Hao had made up his mind, so he naturally didn't say anything more. After all, it was just a 3D animated movie.

Moreover, most of the work has been completed, so the subsequent investment should not be much. Even if there is a loss, it will not have a big impact on the group company.

And as the chairman said, animated films are indeed one of the future development directions of their group company.

If the company wants to develop comprehensively, it is impossible not to do this kind of project, and it is also good to give it a try.
