After two months of various ceremonies and urban dramas, the drama market finally ushered in a costume drama that attracted much attention.
In the early morning of November 12, “He Wei Hu Ting” quietly went online in Youku, and updated the five episodes in one breath. After the costume dramas such as “Chen Qingling” and “Chang’an Twelve Hours”, another new drama was staged. Directly broadcast scenes.
The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by the online writer Xue Manliangyuan. The theme of the novel is the same as that of “Zhangbang” and “Tiansheng Long Song”. The historical background is overhead, focusing on conspiracy + romance. On the watercress, the original novel has a high score of 8.5, and the total number of evaluations in the two editions is close to 7,000. Good heat and good reputation.
Therefore, even if it is new at zero, close to zero publicity, the performance of “Heye Huating” is not bad. After all, there is a popular IP blessing, with a luxury team composed of Yang Wenjun, Luo Jin, Li Yitong, Jin Wei, Huang Zhizhong, Zhang Zhijian, etc., even the company behind it is also the “All Star” lineup.
01 2016 has been filed, “The Boy of You” is the copyright owner behind the original novel
As early as September 2016, “Heyi Huating” appeared in the TV drama filing. At that time, the reporting organization was Zhonghui Film and Television. It can be understood that the drama was first led by Zhonghui Film and Television.
Zhonghui Film and Television is a new three-board company listed in early 2016 (completed in July 2018). The biggest advantage is that it has accumulated a lot of well-known IP.
At the 2016 strategic conference, its founder, Dong Jun, announced the following: “Dedication of Suspect X”, “Lotus”, “Jiu Gong Dance”, “God Tour”, “Looking for a Past Life”, “Lonely City Close” and “Crane 33 IPs including 唳华亭》; September 2016,Company co-founder Hou Xiaoqiang (currently resigned) has made a list, saying that Zhonghui Film has the copyright of the China IP 100 list.
There are many strong IPs, and Zhonghui Films is also favored by the capital market. As early as May 2016, Sanqi Mutual Entertainment announced that it hopes to purchase 1.2 billion of wholly-owned shares of Zhonghui Film and Television. It is because the company has an IP buyer team headed by Hou Xiaoqiang and a production team headed by Dong Jun. However, due to the “funding of the capital market environment”, the wholly-owned acquisition plan ended in failure. However, Sanqi Mutual Entertainment still has a strategic investment of 300 million yuan.

Checking the information shows that in addition to the game, the game has a total investment of 3 billion yuan. In early 2018, Zhonghui Film and Television also received a private placement of 30.93 million. The investors are Yunfeng Fund and Fuhui Xinyue.
Since the signing of the gambling agreement has not been approved, the acquisition has been blown, Zhonghui Film and Television has once been at the forefront of public opinion, but this celebrity blessing company seems to be using the work to prove itself in recent years.
The most successful case of Zhonghui Films so far should be the “Youth of the Boys” that is being released. The film won the box office for 17 consecutive days, and the current total box office exceeded 1.4 billion. Other successful works of the company include “Dedication of Suspects x”, “Bring my brother away” and so on.
If the “Heye Huating” becomes an explosion again, Zhonghui Film will undoubtedly become one of the biggest beneficiaries.
02 Sorrow 2019 : 10 million investment in “Shanghai Fortress” is not a return to blood
In addition to the leading party, Zhonghui Film and Television, behind this well-conceived visual feast, there are also many capital promoters, including Ali Pictures, which is listed on Hong Kong stocks, and ChinaVision Entertainment, which is seeking listing.
Youku is the main producer and solo platform of “Heye Huating”. It is quite reasonable for Ali Pictures to participate in the vote. The appearance of China Entertainment is quite unexpected.
In June 2017, in the prospectus submitted by VisionChina, the company announced the investment plans and progress of the company’s film and television drama in the next two years, including 7 films and 5 TV series. There is no such name as “He Wei Hua Ting”, the company’s official Weibo and official website, there is no introduction of the related content of “He Wei Huating”. It can be seen that the investment ratio of Huashi Entertainment to “Heye Huating” should be low.

Hua Shi Entertainment was established in 2005 and was established by Zhang Jun, the head of the Hailong Department engaged in oilfield services and oilfield equipment. According to the company’s check, the company’s major shareholder is Beijing Huashi Hailong Petroleum Investment Co., Ltd., with a shareholding ratio of 63.76%. Other major shareholders include China Cultural Industry Fund, Wanda Group, Gaochun Capital, and Yuanchuang Capital.
In June 2017, VisionChina had hit IPO. In March 2018, VisionChina appeared in the list of companies that the CSRC applied for termination of listing review. In January 2019, Vision Entertainment and Huatai United Securities Co., Ltd. signed a listing counseling agreement and embarked on the IPO journey again. However, the revival of VisionChina in 2019 is quite unsatisfactory.
As an old-fashioned film and television company, there are not many representative works of VisionChina. The first is the 2013 box office third-quarter “To Youth” (720 million box office), and the second is Sun Hao’s “The Year of the Flower” 》. Just as Huashi Entertainment plans to raise 900 million yuan to do something, it has planted a big head in “Shanghai Fortress.”
According to the previous announcement, Vision Entertainment contributed 30% of the investment share of “Shanghai Fortress” and invested 108 million yuan. It is estimated that the total investment of the film is at least 360 million yuan, and the final box office is 1.2. Billion, can be described as blood.
For Huashi Entertainment, even if the “He Xi Hua Ting” participated in the competition, it will not be able to fill the huge pit brought by “Shanghai Fortress”.
03 8 star companies,< /strong>Cao Dun and Yang Wenjun are winners
Who else will be the beneficiary of “He Wei Huating”? Director Yang Wenjun and director Cao Dun and Hou Xiaoqiang of Changan Twelve Hours are also winners.
Yang Wenjun, who has directed film and television works such as “Divorce Lawyers”, “How to Silence” and “Fujian”, is both the director of “He Xi Hua Ting” and the major shareholder of the company behind the production of extraordinary film and television.

Checking the information shows that extraordinary film was established in 2017 with a registered capital of 13.888 million. Currently, Yang Wenjun holds 70.2% of the shares. Youku is the company’s second largest shareholder, holding 10%. Other shareholders include Ciwen Media. The wholly-owned subsidiary Dongyang Zifeng Film and Television, the above mentioned Huashi Entertainment, and the extraordinary (Zhejiang) film and television supervisor Zhang Yonghui and so on.
In addition to extraordinary film and television, director Yang Wenjun also holds a 100% and 70% stake in the Wenjun Film and Television Culture Studio and the Happy Film Festival.

The other shareholder of “Heye Huating” Xuzhou Renren Film and Television is the director of Cao Dun, holding 45% of the shares. Other shareholders include Youku, Huang Yanqiu and Ma Yujie. In addition to “He Xi Hua Ting”, Cao Dun directed “Chang’an Twelve Hours”, “Love You, Heal Me”, 仨Ren Film has also participated in investment.

As a director who was born as a big cow, Cao Dun not only handed over the highly regarded works such as “The Sea of the Clouds”, “Love You to Heal Me”, “Changan Twelve Hours”, etc. The market is also active. At present, there are 8 companies directly involved in Cao Dun’s investment.
The last producer, the Alliance of the Gods, is Hou Xiaoqiang’s company. The star entrepreneur has many labels: the former Shanda Literature CEO, the founder of Zhonghui Film, the founder of Jinying Technology, and the Chinese IP One person…
Hou Xiaoqiang joined Wuzhonghui Film and Television in 2015, and has since become a spokesperson for Zhonghui Film and Television. However, in January last year, Zhonghui Film and Television released a report on changes in equity, Hou Xiaoqiang saw a total of 30.926 million yuan through the reduction of Zhonghui Film and Television stocks. At present, Hou Xiaoqiang is no longer a senior executive of Zhonghui Film and Television, but still holds 18.92% of the latter and is the second largest shareholder.
In addition, the broadcast of “He Xi Hua Ting” also made this year’s “Chang’an Twelve Hours” fame and fortune again become the focus.
In the drama market, before the appearance of “Chang’an”, Youku had not handed over a solo work with a reputation and a win-win situation for two years. So much so that the media talked about Youku often without mercy, the title is such as Youku ushered in the dark moment, once the mystery of a brother, the chain is fallingIn the matter, Youku has never lost…
In 2019, the audience still did not wait for Youku’s “White Nights to Cheat 2” and “Da Ming Feng Hua” and other key repertoires. Fortunately, when the situation was embarrassing, the low-key returning big brother gave Youku a chance to “turn over”.
The benefits that Changan brings to Youku are “visible to the naked eye.” Youku has said that the average daily DAU and membership growth rate of the entire summer platform has reached a record high, and the membership growth rate is three times that of last year, breaking the record of all members and new content since 2018.
Not only is the member pull new, but the producer also said in interviews with the media that, with the authorization of the game, overseas authorization, derivative income, and inter-individual advertising, the final income of the entire IP will exceed 10 billion.
Of course, this “10 billion” Youku is definitely not an exclusive one, but the appearance of “Changan” has indeed made this quiet and long-term platform a lot of status.
With the broadcast of “He Wei Huating”, Youku seems to have taken the lead in the end of the year. In terms of the current episodes, the rhythm of the plot, the suspense setting, the service, the actors and the actors are all more brilliant. The Douban score is 7.7 points. However, whether this costume orthodox drama can become an explosion of “Chang’an” is still more time to observe. After all, it is 60 episodes.
