February 12th, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month.

"Xiu Chun Knife" was released for 28 days, and its total box office reached 530 million yuan, completing the sweep of the Spring Festival.

Starting from the past two days, the film's follow-up has been weak, with the single-day box office falling below 1 million and no hope of breaking 600 million. The final total box office was around 540 to 550 million.

This week, the mainland market is dominated by "Mission: Impossible 4", with a single-week box office of 132 million, taking the top spot next week.

Data released by China Film Group shows that "Mission: Impossible 4" has a total box office of 460 million in the 16 days it was released, which is 20 million less than the previous one.

In addition to "Mission: Impossible 4", there are five more movies on the list from February 6th to February 12th.

The second place "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" was released for 3 days, with a total box office of 95.8 million yuan.

The third place "I Do" was released for three days, with a total of 19.9 million soft sister coins.

The fourth place "High Altitude Love 2" was released for 4 days, with a total box office of 11.6 million yuan.

The fifth-placed film "The King" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 10.5 million and a total box office of 24.8 million yuan.

"Xiu Chun Knife" ranked sixth. It was released for 28 days, with a weekly box office of 9.5 million and a total box office of 536 million yuan.

In the office of Chairman Hengyu.

Fang Ziheng finished browsing the movie data table and shook his head helplessly.

After the increase in imported films, the domestic protection period is shaky. At least one or two Hollywood films are released in the mainland every month.

Without policy protection, most domestic films seem to have lost a layer of gold, and will only be beaten when encountering Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

There is no way to hide from this kind of thing. Only by rising up to resist and using high-quality films to confront the situation can we stabilize the annual box office share of domestic films and enhance the audience's confidence in domestic films little by little.

After closing the computer, Fang Ziheng opened the drawer, took out a gold-plated invitation and put it on the table.

Sina Weibo held the first Weibo Night.

Sina CEO Cao Guowei made a special trip to Hengyu, handed the invitation letter to him, and asked him and his artists to appear.

Weibo Night, the previous event was called Sina Festival, which had little gold content and relied entirely on celebrity artists to support the scene.

There are a lot of various awards, and they will be given out as soon as you go. Everyone has a share.

Fang Ziheng vaguely remembered that there were more than a dozen pheasant festivals like this in the next year.

Media websites, TV stations, video websites, and any platform related to the entertainment industry have held such activities.

For example, Lin Feifei and Andy, two beauties, also wanted to hold a potato festival, and they even made a special plan to include it in Hengyu's major events in 2012.

Just wait for Tudou Video to be re-listed in April, and the plan for the festival will begin.

The euphemistic name is to boost Tudou's reputation, but in fact Lin Feifei and others want to further build the reputation of Hengyu Media.

To put it bluntly, I just want to build a huge mountain!

Hengyu is currently following the path of forming good relationships, not offending anyone, and cooperating with major film and television companies for win-win results.

This route is okay in the short term, but not in the long term. It lacks the power and domineering power to dominate the world.

Fang Zihengle was free to let them control it.

In the past few years, he has made friends with this person and that person outside. He is used to being a good guy, so it's time to show off his muscles.

dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Fang Ziheng raised his head, looked at it, and leaned back, looking like a boss.

The office door was pushed open, and Fang Rou stepped in with Liu Minghui, the director of strategic investment.

"Chairman, Director Liu has something important to report to you."

"I understand, make two cups of tea."

Fang Ziheng nodded, waved to Liu Minghui behind him, pointed to the guest sofa and said, "Minghui, has Sogou Browser been taken down?"

"Chairman, I got it!"

Liu Minghui looked excited, came to the sofa area, put a folder on the coffee table and said.

After a while, Fang Rou made two cups of hot tea and came over.

Fang Ziheng came to the sofa area, sat down, put the folder on his legs, opened it, and said with a smile: "Just take it and tell me the results of the acquisition."

"After four rounds of negotiations, the company finally acquired 45% of Sogou's shares from Sohu for 680 million softmei coins."

"What other conditions did Director Zhang put forward?"

"Just to mention one, Sohu has invested in Hengyu Games."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he moved his body and turned to the last page of the contract, which clearly marked the agreement between Hengyu and Sohu.

Hengyu Media acquired 45% of Sogou's shares for 680 million Sogou coins, becoming the second largest shareholder of this browser platform and possessing secondary rights to operate the browser.

Sohu invested 50 million soft sister coins in 5% of the shares of Hengyu Game Company to participate in the maintenance and profit sharing of the two major games "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends".

In addition: Sohu has the responsibility to assist Hengyu in operating its games (including promotion, holding e-sports competitions), etc.

There is a clear division of responsibilities between the two companies. Generally speaking, Hengyu Media suffered a small loss in the early stage.

Not only did he give the money, he also sold 5% of Hengyu Games' shares at a low price.

Fang Ziheng looked down for a few times, smiled with satisfaction, patted Liu Minghui on the shoulder and praised: "Not bad, well done!"

He understood in his heart that although Hengyu suffered a loss in the early stage, in the long run, Hengyu Media made a lot of money.

The size of a browser alone may not cost a lot.

But if it is supplemented with a series of businesses such as the large entertainment industry, video, games, and new media, it will instantly transform into a killer weapon with extremely high user stickiness.

In 2014, He Xiaopengzi, the founder of UC, sold UC to Alibaba Group for 30 billion softmei coins, making a huge profit.

30 billion!

At that time, UC was only slightly higher than Sogou in terms of content and traffic, and it was already so profitable.

It is foreseeable that after Hengyu Media completes the link with Sogou and transfers its business, and 4G arrives in two years, the value of Sogou Browser will be higher than that of UC Browser.

At this time, Sogou's total market value was approximately 1.5 billion softmei coins. In addition to Hengyu's large-scale merger and acquisition, Sohu also repurchased 10% of its shares from Alibaba.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course.

The most important thing is that Zhang Chaoyang is not short of money, he is a fun-loving person.

After Sohu fell into the second echelon of domestic Internet, Zhang Chaoyang entered the sage mode and started to win in life.

He wanted to play games, Fang Ziheng allowed him to do whatever he wanted, and it was only right to win Sogou.

In later generations, Sogou has been unable to develop. This is partly due to Sohu not wanting to make progress, and more importantly, Sohu's own lack of traffic, which cannot drive Sogou forward.

In 2020, Sogou was jointly boycotted by major mobile phone manufacturers, and had no choice but to announce that it would stop serving and go offline.

Haohao is a leading browser. As time goes by, it becomes weaker and weaker, and it is forced to stop serving and go offline. Lao Zhang is no longer there.

"Game life, Lao Zhang's life creed!"

Fang Ziheng muttered something softly, closed the folder, and leaned back on the sofa, looking comfortable and at ease.

After drinking tea, he signed a letter and handed it to Liu Minghui, asking him to forward it to Sogou founder Wang Xiaochuan.

In the letterhead, he racked his brains over the past two days and recalled the new functions and functions of QQ and UC browsers in later generations.
