From traffic to movie star

Chapter 194 Eight Billion Financing

Times Pictures finally agreed, and was willing to sell [-] movie theaters to Medal Media.

As Wei Xun said, this is not a negotiation, but a necessary condition.

If you don't agree, your theater chain can only be controlled by Dynasty Entertainment's online ticket sales channel, and Times Pictures also won't get the right to screen movies with medals.

From "Chinese Partner" to "Charlotte Annoyance", the times have been envious of Wei Xun's movies for a long time.

Because not all film producers can absolutely guarantee to make money like Medal, and also earn a terrifyingly high profit return.

The scale of theater chains in the era was average, and the film production made profits and losses, which was considered so-so. It ranked at the bottom among the current seven major film companies, and life was tight.

The film industry is growing more and more prosperous, but some film production companies have been going downhill.

This is not surprising, because the public has higher requirements for film quality, and producers with insufficient strength will eventually be eliminated by the market.

After signing the theater transfer contract, Wei Xun sent Jin ZB and Hu Zhengxin away, and said with a smile: "President Jin, don't worry, I will let Chang Ming bring people to the past and connect with the times online data in the next few days."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei."

Jin ZB forced a smile and said, "For the twenty theaters, I will urge the manpower and medals to be delivered as soon as possible. There are still a lot of troublesome things in the company waiting for me to go back and solve them, so I won't bother you any more."

Hu Zhengxin couldn't laugh anymore.

More than a year ago, when Wei Xun was cheated out of the "Chinese Partner" project to join Dynasty Entertainment, he certainly could not have imagined that he would face such a reversal today.

Relying on selling cheap theaters to continue the era, the two presidents will definitely have a headache about how to appease the rest of the shareholders after they go back.

The future of Times Pictures will not be easy.

But this is someone else's business, and Wei Xun has no reason to take care of it.After Jin ZB left, he turned back to the company and pushed open the door of the big meeting room.

In the conference room, Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang were sitting and chatting. Seeing him come in, Chi Sheng asked with a smile, "It's all settled?"

In fact, when Wei Xun and Jin ZB signed the contract just now, Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang had already arrived, but it was not convenient to show up, so Mao Bin brought them to the conference room.

Wei Xun said with a smile: "It's settled, twenty large theaters."

Hang Gaoyang praised after hearing the words: "It's amazing."

As the president of Tianguang Media, he has witnessed Wei Xun's rise all the way in the past two or three years.

Up to now, Medal has not only begun to control the online ticketing market, but also has theaters.

"Compared to you, it's just drizzle." Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about today's business."

The so-called business, of course, is financing panda tickets.

This is also the purpose of Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang coming here today.

A few minutes later, Gu Changming walked in holding the computer.

Then, Guanchi's production manager Xiang Yang, the financing team, and Tianguang's related team, seven or eight people sat down on both sides of the conference room.

Wei Xun nodded to Gu Changming, and before the projection screen was turned on, he said with a smile: "Everyone, before showing the new function of panda ticket purchase, I would like to talk about the channel issue of panda. As of this morning, we have It opened up half of the movie theaters in China."

At present, there are more than 6000 theaters in China, and half of them have been connected, which means that at least [-] theaters have reached online cooperation with Panda Tickets.

Obviously, the fatal mistake of the ticket buying gang this time led to the complete rise of Panda Ticketing.

Beside, Gu Changming turned on the projector and connected his mobile phone to it.

The icon of Panda Ticketing app is projected on the projection screen in the meeting room.

Gu Changming handed the phone to Wei Xun, and then found a place to sit down.

Wei Xun met everyone's gaze, smiled and said: "In the past few months, Changming has made several new function optimizations and improvements for panda ticket purchases. The first function is positioning. For example, if you want to watch "Once upon a time we "For this movie, enter the name of the movie in the search box, and Panda Tickets will automatically select and recommend the nearest movie theaters for you. If you don't know the route, Panda also has a navigation plan."

Location push?
Chi Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "It's very human."

"The optimization of Panda Tickets this time is to start from the customer experience and strive to be humanized in every aspect."

Wei Xun smiled and said: "The second function is called online seat selection. That is to say, we will directly present the seat situation of the movie theater to the customer. The customer can lock the seats they want in the movie theater when they are at home. The chosen location in the hall."

On the projection screen, a seating plan of a cinema appeared.

This time, there was quite a commotion in the entire meeting room.

You know, in another world, when the online seat selection function first came out, I don’t know how many industry peers and audiences were amazed.

Hang Gaoyang was amazed: "Sure enough, it starts from the customer experience, so is this online seat selection system expensive?"

"This system is independent of the cinema's system. It only needs to access the seat data, but it can also be completely replaced. It depends on the meaning of the cinema."

Wei Xun said: "Customers who buy tickets through our system do not need to queue up at the ticket counter to pick up tickets when they arrive at the theater. They can just print the movie tickets in front of the ticket machine provided by Panda Tickets. The ticket machine of the seat selection system is relatively expensive. Some, a ticket issuing machine is about 1 yuan."

One set of 1 yuan may not seem high, but thousands of movie theaters, plus system updates, maintenance, laying, human and material resources will be consumed.

To buy tickets online, you have to fight for channels, film sources, funds, and ticket supplements.

Therefore, it is necessary to attract several well-funded companies to enter the market to help share the pressure, and the financing is conducive to the balanced distribution of equity ratios, paving the way for the future listing of Panda.

This time, neither Chi Sheng nor Hang Gaoyang spoke, obviously thinking about the cost.

"I'm talking about the third function, the rating system. After watching a movie with Panda Tickets, customers can rate the movie and post a movie review. In the future, Panda Tickets will integrate online ticket purchases, There are two major functions of film evaluation, online seat selection and positioning navigation are the features of online ticket purchase, leaving all the ticket purchase software on the market far behind."

"Panda Tickets will become the largest distributor of online ticket purchases, and our huge customer base will also allow Panda to be eligible to participate in film distribution, and at the same time become China's largest virtual theater chain."

Wei Xun said with a smile: "Our goal is that after five years, for every three movie tickets Huaxia sells, one of them must be from a panda."

As soon as these words came out, the entire meeting room fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by the prospect Wei Xun described.

Chi Sheng's face became serious, and he asked, "How much do you need?"

Wei Xun smiled and said, "At least [-] million."

　ps: Thanks to the four bigwigs 'Xiu Mu', 'Sky Li', 'Wu Qianyu' and 'Jiang Shui Hengbo' for their rewards, it's costly.
