Xinjiang Morning News (Text/Reporter Liu Qing Photo/Network) Since Huang Lei's matter of being the star and behind-the-scenes boss of "Late Night Canteen" was pickpocketed, Xiaobian found that such middle-aged uncles in the circle are getting older and older. In the current hit dramas, Wu Xiubo in "Army-Master Alliance", Deng Chao in "Compound Master", and Wu Qilong in "A Grain of Red Dust", they are both the main actors and the boss behind the scenes, with a higher net worth than one, and more investment than one, which can be said to easily play the film and television business circle. But then again, since it is a business, there are profits and losses. Today, Xiaobian took stock of these three male gods who are investors, who will suck gold?
Wu Xiubo is worth more than 100 million yuan, and there is no urgency in investment for stability
At present, the hit drama "Army Division" has won a win-win situation in word of mouth and ratings, and the biggest winner is Wu Xiubo, the chief producer. "Army-Master Alliance" invested 400 million yuan, which is comparable to the level of big film production, and nearly 80 actors in the play were paid half price at the invitation of Wu Xiubo, and had to praise Wu Xiubo's network resources in the entertainment industry.
The producers of this drama are Dongyang Mengjiangwei Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Huali Culture Media Co., Ltd., Holgos Fuji Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Inji Entertainment Media. Among them, Wu Xiubo had invested in Dongyang Mengjiangwei Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. and Ergos Buji Culture Media Co., Ltd., and served as the sole natural person shareholder of the latter. It is not difficult to understand why Wu Xiubo dared to release the whole process of responsible rhetoric at the "Military Division Alliance" press conference.
It is reported that Dongyang Alliance established Wei Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. in 2010, with an initial registered capital of only 1 million yuan, and later expanded to 510 million, and the actual controller is Xu Jiaxuan. There are artists Zhang Zhixi, Wang Ou, Zhang Ruihan, Cui Lin, Jiang Zhengyang, etc., TV series "Never Forgive", "Our Youth With NoWhere to Rest", the movie "Tokyo Trial" and "West Wind Lie" are representative works. Wu Xiubo's Khorgos Culture Media Co., Ltd., founded in September 2015, previously invested in the film "Beijing Meets Seattle's Love Letter", which earned 790 million yuan at the box office.
When did Wu Xiubo become the boss? As we all know, Wu Xiubo is a well-known "late bloomer" in the entertainment industry, at the age of 35, he only broke into the film and television circle, starred in 21 dramas in 8 years, but has been tepid. It wasn't until 2010, with "Before Dawn", that the 42-year-old Wu Xiubo finally caught fire. Since then, Wu Xiubo's films have continued to be published, and popular dramas such as "Heart Technique", "Divorce Lawyer", and "Ma Xiangyang's Journey to the Countryside" can be highly recognized and evaluated.
Acting made money, Wu Xiubo did not take the drama like crazy, but made an investment. In 2011, Wu Xiubo, who had just started his acting career, poured out all his capital of 45 million yuan and bought 4.66 million shares of "Happy Blue Ocean", becoming the sixth largest shareholder of the company. However, his own funds are only more than 5 million, and the remaining more than 40 million are loans, so it can be said that Wu Xiubo mortgaged his future to this company. In 2016, Happy Blue Ocean was listed, and the stock price also doubled nearly four times, and Wu Xiubo made a lot of money.
In addition, Wu Xiubo is also a shareholder of Zhejiang Tangde Film and Television Co., Ltd., he also holds 2% of the shares of Xitian Film and Television, these companies have been listed and doubled, Wu Xiubo's net worth has exceeded 100 million, and he has the status of the dominant artist of Xitian Film and Television, and the gold absorption will continue to break out, but he said that investment can not be urgent, what will he do next?
Gold Absorption Index: Four stars
Comments: Although Wu Xiubo's own investment works are not many, the strength of the companies he holds in the circle can be described as well-known. Just as the so-called "good shade under the big tree", so make money steadily and make more money, what do you think?
To create a film and television industry chain, Wu Qilong ranked among the 1 billion bosses
In the upcoming TV series "A Grain of Red Dust", Wu Qilong plays the domineering president Qi Tang, an identity that more or less coincides with him outside the play. The producer is Shanghai Drama Core Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd., LeTV Video, Wu Qilong and the producer are more or less related, otherwise he could not provide a recording studio for the crew free of charge, and he created 8 original songs for the whole drama at his own expense, even if he debuted with music.
In fact, the identity of Wu Qilong's boss is no secret, which was all dug up last year when Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi got married. How big is the industrial chain behind Wu Qilong?
For more than ten years, Wu Qilong has devoted himself to business, involving a series of fields such as film and television, games, literature, music, intelligent hardware, real estate, and consumption upgrading, and has 6 companies, 2 studios, and 3 patents.
But at first, Wu Qilong's investment was not successful. As we all know, Wu Qilong, who was selected by the star scouts in 1988 when setting up a stall, was heavily indebted to his father. In 1991, Wu Qilong began his business layout, but it ended in failure, and restaurants and clothing stores closed down one after another. In 2001, the success of "Xiao Shiylang" also marked the end of the huge debt, and Wu Qilong's investment ushered in the spring.
Wu Qilong's career began in 2003, and he shifted his career focus from Hong Kong to the mainland. At the same time as signing the Huayi Brothers, he also registered Beijing Straw Bear Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. in Beijing, and began to look for film and television drama investment opportunities, and successively only did popular TV series such as "Remember Me Love You"), "The Legend of the New White-Haired Witch", "Sharp Renshi", "Underwater Taofa" animation movie and network hit drama "Regretless Youth", and participated in the post-production of films such as "Ink Attack" and the shooting and production of movies such as "Ticket", "Emerald Dragon", "Deadly Travel" and so on. However, Wu Qilong once admitted that in 2010, he invested in two TV series and a movie, lost money, and saved three years to dare to shoot "The Legend of the New White-haired Witch", and this play sold for 84 million.
Wu Qilong does not value a TV series. He began to envision the concept of "all-IP", "groping for a combination of games + TV series". Therefore, in 2012, Wu Qilong founded Beijing Straw Bear Technology Co., Ltd. and entered the field of online games. The first IP created is "Shushan War Chronicle", from literature, TV series, online dramas, music, movies began to form a perfect industrial chain, and an important link in this chain is the game.
So far, Straw Bear Technology has developed a number of games including "Sharp Renshi", "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Toward Victory" and so on.
2016 is a new stage in Wu Qilong's life and career. At the beginning of the year, he and Liu Shishi held a wedding in Bali, and the career also went through the climbing stage and entered the harvest period. Driven by the concept of "film-game interaction", the IP ecosystem created by Wu Qilong has completed the layout across the film and television, games, literature and music industries. Last year, the first 1 billion-level company hatched by Wu Qilong was sold to A-share "Demon King" Storm Video, and he also entered the 1 billion-level boss club.
Gold Absorption Index: Five stars
Comments: Wu Qilong has been operating for twenty years, with such a complete and powerful industrial chain, where is there still no money to earn?
Multi-faceted Deng Chao played investment and focused on creating original IP
The popular TV series "Compound Master", Deng Chao is an investor in this drama. In fact, before the broadcast of "Compound Master", the derivative of the "Breakup Master" series of works was taken as a marketing hotspot, and it can be thought of related to Deng Chao.
A small editor search found that one of the producers of "Compound Master" was an orange image, and the boss was Deng Chao himself. It is reported that Orange Image was established in August 2013, Deng Chao registered Tianjin Orange Image Media Co., Ltd. with Yu Baimei and Guangguang for 3 million yuan, and served as the chairman of the board, and has produced movies "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel".
Seeing this, everyone is not surprised that the original team of "Breakup Master", Baimei Studio actor Liang Chao, Zhao Manzhu and others joined the "Compound Master" reason.
In addition to Orange Image, Deng Chao is also a shareholder of a number of film and television companies, and in 2015 he held 0.43% of the shares of LeTV Pictures for 30 million yuan; he also invested in "Running Man" and so on.
In fact, Deng Chao, who came from a drama background, has now diversified his identity, and he is an actor, director, variety show, investor, etc. He really started investing across the border in 2013, when he set up his own studio and invested in Orange Images in August. On August 26, 2014, Deng Chao, Together with Zhou Hongyi, Chairman of 360 Company, Xu Xiaoping, Zhenge Angel Investment Fund, and Yu Baimei, a friend, formed a team and joined hands with 80 investment institutions to jointly launch the Dandelion Entrepreneurship Plan, becoming the first star to invest in the Internet industry across borders.
In September 2015, Deng Chao officially joined a domestic TV brand as the product manager and served as the spokesperson of the brand.
In addition to entering the investment industry, Deng Chao's company's development scale is also growing. In 2016, Suning established Suning Investment Group, and injected nearly 100 million yuan into the orange image to help the orange image transform into original IP.
The last part of the IP novel "Psychological Crime" series, "City Lights", the film version also has Deng Chao's investment. As a leading actor and as an actor, Deng Chao can be described as dedicated in IP conversion.
In addition, in 2016, Deng Chao invested 780,000 yuan in Beijing Yiding Culture Communication Co., Ltd. as a shareholder. Founded in 2009, this company specializes in literary and artistic performances and film and television planning, and has played a very important role in the development of Deng Chao's drama career, Chao Theater.
Comments: Compared with the first two, Deng Chao investment is a little late, but his age and changeable style are his advantages, with two major advantages, which one is stronger in gold absorption ability? Did you come to that conclusion?
