Chapter 309 [Banned]
Just when "Avatar" set off a frenzy of 3D movie viewing in the mainland, the first day of the film's release was also the first trading day of the new year of Big A. Shareholders were looking forward to a good start for Big A in 2010, but it turned out to be a bad start. .
It closed down -1.02% on the first trading day of the new year, making stockholders very depressed.
After two days of turbulence, today, January 7th, when the market opened on Thursday, the big A fell again, closing down -1.89%, and the index closed at 3192.78 points, directly breaking through the integer mark of 3200 points.
Before the opening of the first trading day of the new year, the market index was at 3,277 points. Everyone was counting on a good start. On the first day of the new year, they immediately regained the 3,300-point mark in one go, but they plunged downward.
When the market opened on Friday, Big A opened lower and moved lower again. In the afternoon, the decline once expanded to -1.34%, but it rebounded strongly in the last hour of late trading, and finally closed with a slight increase of +0.10%.
The market in the first week of the new year has made stockholders eat noodles, and everyone is swearing at big A.
But immediately after the market closed, something that made the stockholders vomit blood came. A super heavy news, the spokesperson of the Regulatory Commission announced that the top management had agreed in principle to carry out the pilot program of margin financing and securities lending business of securities companies and the launch of stock index futures varieties.
Margin financing and securities lending will be "piloted first and gradually rolled out", and the preparations for stock index futures will take about 3 months.
That is to say, Big A can raise funds to use leverage to go long, and can also sell securities to short, including the listing of new products such as stock index futures. In other words, Big A can also gradually go short.
According to the disclosed news, the first batch of pilot securities firms for margin financing and securities lending will be selected from 11 securities firms that participated in the online test in 2008, including Zhongxin Securities and Hitong Securities, and the capital threshold for individual stock index futures investors may be set at 500,000. Yuan.
In short, although big A can be shorted, absolutely most retail investors cannot reach the threshold, only big funds can do it.
Throughout the weekend and weekends, the news in the capital market was that Big A was about to start margin financing and securities lending and stock index futures, which can be regarded as a major event for the A-share market.
Experts are all boasting that Big A is ushering in historic progress, and the whole weekend and weekends are full of voices, especially saying that Big A can raise more funds and leverage funds, which means future market liquidity It will soar sharply, thereby driving the market to rise, and the bull market in the new year will start, and the 3478 high will be broken.
The retail investors who are out of space are in a hurry, and they are even more anxious if they don't have a bargaining chip in their hands.
When the market opened on Monday, January 11, the auctions of the two A-share markets gapped and opened sharply. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Index directly stood at 3301.61 points in the call auction, and opened sharply higher by +3.30% with a jump of 105.61 points. The entire market was extremely hot.
During the five minutes from 9:25 to 30, the stockholders who were out of space quickly placed orders and ran into the market, for fear of missing the big market.
As a result, when the market opened at 9:30, the bullish investors, especially those who entered the market through bidding, were dumbfounded.
The two cities opened directly with no rebound. At 2:30 in the last session, they even touched the zero axis and turned green. Although the slight rebound was recovered, they opened 3.3 percentage points higher in the morning and closed 0.52 percentage points throughout the day.
The lungs of all stock investors who rushed in early in the morning were about to explode. Big A was cheated miserably. I don’t know how many stock investors smashed their screens, keyboards, and mice. They all thought that today’s market was at least Red 7 points to close.
This is the result?
That's it?
This fraudulent market has really stumped the stockholders, all of them are confused, and all major forums are full of curses.
...
In the afternoon, stay in the villa quietly.
At this moment, about 20 minutes have passed since Big A closed. Fang Hong is sitting on the sofa in the leisure area on the first floor of Jingxin Residence by himself, and he is paying attention to the news about the release of "Avatar".
This super Hollywood blockbuster has been screened in the mainland for a full week, and its first-week opening score hit 509 million yuan, breaking a series of records in the history of mainland movies.
Such an exaggerated achievement also strengthens the determination of major companies in the film and television industry to accelerate the expansion of 3D theaters.
As for Yixing Theaters, its more than 1,200 3D screens are now full of blood, and it has become the biggest winner of the movie "Avatar" in the domestic box office. With the box office of 500 million yuan, Yixing Theaters will not say much. 180 million cakes will also be taken away.
However, Fang Hong obviously doesn’t just value the 180 million box office split. What he really cares about is that the 3D theaters have come from behind to seize the opportunity. According to the original plan, the number of screens under the Star Media will exceed More than 5,000 yuan, of which the 3D screen needs to be more than 3,500 yuan.
In short, it is expansion, crazy expansion!
With the increasing market share of Star Theaters in the number of screens, Star Media Group will have more and more voice in the film and television industry. Is your movie very good? But if you want more films, it depends on the face of my theaters. Otherwise, if you criticize me no matter how good you are, your movie box office will hit the street. Film producers are the last thing they want to offend theater companies.
Of course, this will also lose the profits of the theater chain, but for Fang Hong, the right to speak is far greater than the movie box office.
Let’s just say that "Avatar" is so popular now, it’s almost a grand occasion, 3D movie tickets are hard to find, but the 180 million cake of Yixing Cinemas is not too much, even if this movie finally hits 20 With a total box office of 100 million yuan in the mainland, Yixing Cinemas also cut more than 700 million yuan in the cake.
Really super profitable.
But I am afraid of comparing everything. Compared with the harvest of the financial capital market, that is the case.
Therefore, Fang Hong pays more attention to the right to speak. In the future, when Yixing Cinemas becomes the theater company with the largest number of screens in the mainland, and even occupies a dominant position in the market, no matter how big your director, actors, and producers are, you will be the best. If I don't arrange a film for you, no matter how good your movie is, you will suffer a blood loss. The most important thing is that I can afford it, but you can't afford it.
Then who dares to easily offend Yixing Media?
Over time, the right to speak has naturally been established, not to mention that the theater chain is only one of the links, and Fanghong's layout in the entertainment industry is completely eliminated, and the entire industry chain is built from the entire process of distribution, production, and channels.
The layout of this field is really that the "money ability" is almost omnipotent. As long as the money is in place, it can basically be solved. Unlike conquering high-tech, money alone may not be able to get it done, but in the entertainment industry, as long as you dare to run without making money. If you dare to spend money, you are basically invincible!
...
But at this moment, Fang Hong, who was reading the news, noticed that a mainland director posted a blog post on his blog today, which was forwarded and discussed by many people.
Fang Hong clicked on the link to the blog post posted by the director, and frowned when he saw the title. The title of the blog post posted by the director was: We should be ashamed in the face of "Avatar"!
Good guy!
This title made Fang Hong sneer at the beginning. It is almost certain that this person is a member of the "Licking West Clan" without reading the content, but Fang Hong also looked at the specific content of his blog post.
In his blog, the director praised "Avatar" almost to the point of worship. He expressed his admiration for James Cameron in his blog:
[This is a master-level visual feast and a dream trip that must not be missed.
The director's respect for life is fully revealed in the film.
This is not an unfathomable and obscure confession of a cultural person, but a sincere cry of an ordinary person, a simple metaphor: the jungle people can find their blood affiliation in Africa and Indians, which is completely in line with the reading of the public.
For ordinary viewers, in addition to being shocked by the visual feast presented by the film, the themes such as environmental protection, boundless love, and anti-colonialism in the film undoubtedly deeply touched the hearts of modern people.
When "sincerity" and "feelings" were flooded as movie buzzwords, Cameron took practical actions to let the global audience see a sincere work he has painstakingly prepared for more than ten years.
The audience's eyes are discerning, and they really used word of mouth to write a new record for "Avatar".
"Avatar" let me know that what we lack is not technology, technology can be used; "Avatar" suddenly made me realize how far away the feelings of our movies are from the simple beauty, how far we are from the clear and pure Far, how far is the distance between us and the fiery dream; we who have been running and reveling in the twisted, dark, nonsense, tangled vulgarity, how far is the distance from sincerity?
We should be ashamed of the purity of Avatar. 】
...
Fang Hong didn't take it seriously after reading this full-screen blog post full of "public knowledge", but when he was about to close the page, he noticed that the director's personal information was actually related to Yixing Media.
This successfully attracted Fang Hong's further attention to him.
Immediately open the search engine, enter the director's name to further inquire about the director's biographical information and the latest relevant information.
It turned out that this young director recently received investment from Yixing Media Group.
If you didn't see it, Fang Hong probably wouldn't care about it, but now that he saw the blog post, he called Cao Chenghui on the spot and told him about the director.
"...This person's film project has been withdrawn. In the future, all his films will be restricted to be screened, including using him as a template. All films of this type of person will be restricted to be screened, and Yixing Media will not give any resources to support!" Fang Hong simply said He said neatly that if he didn't arrange the film at all, it would attract criticism, but a symbolic order can also achieve the purpose of blocking.
"Understood!" Cao Chenghui on the other end of the phone responded immediately, and he was also quite surprised. The big boss called this call suddenly. A group of people of the same type, at least the resources held by Yixing Media Group will block this type of people.
Fang Hong immediately ended the communication with him and stopped paying attention, but Cao Chenghui immediately called Yang Guang, the second-in-command of Yixing Media. Simply banning a young director doesn't seem like a big deal, just do it.
But Cao Chenghui always felt that he was parachuted down to catch the Yixing Media Group. There was something wrong that he didn't realize, and he was discovered by the big boss, because under normal circumstances, the big boss would basically not do this.
Mr. Cao felt that it was absolutely impossible for the Big Boss to personally greet a director just to ban him. Why would the Big Boss intervene in such an insignificant matter?
To a certain extent, it must have reflected some structural problems within the Yixing Media Group that needed to be resolved. He had to take care of it, because Cao Chenghui was the first person responsible for something that happened, and he couldn't blame him at all.
