The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 375 Encouraging Dreamworks
"Blue Ocean Theater?"

"Blue Ocean Cinemas is the fastest-expanding cinema in the past two years. It also has an urgent need for funds, and the return it gives us is better than that of Zoomlion."

Xu Wenshen was so eager to call Chen Jingxing back because Chen Jingxing needed to nod and sign the investment documents for the cinema chain.

"DreamWorks' foundation is too weak. If things go on like this, the current stock price will not be able to last long after the halo fades in the eyes of shareholders." Xu Wenshen has a strong sense of crisis.

Chen Jingxing nodded in approval of President Xu's "dangerous words in the prosperous age".

The current market value of DreamWorks ranks third among all listed film and television companies in Huaguo, second only to Jingying and Guoying, both of which are listed on the A-share market.

Dreamworks' current market value of close to 500 billion is really due to last year's brilliant record, this year's Spring Festival performance, and Chen Jingxing's Oscar for Best Director.

In a sense, it is a star stock.

If the benchmark is based on Hollywood film and television companies, the bubble is so big that it is sky-high.

Film and television companies and Internet companies are not the same concept. Internet companies look at the future and look forward to the future.

Film and television companies only look at the present, and there is no future to speak of. If you have a strong box office this year, you may continue to hit the street next year. Potential is a bubble in the film and television industry.

It's just that Huaguo's film and television companies have caught up with the good times. The film market is not only huge, but also growing at a high speed, and there is no ceiling in sight for a while. Many people in the industry believe that the scale of Huaguo's film market will be 1000 billion, let alone 2000 billion. It's all possible.

Not only the big screen is like this, but the streaming media of the small screen is also growing very fast, and the copyright price has risen more fiercely than the box office.

Under such optimistic market expectations, film and television companies including DreamWorks have also been treated like half an Internet company. I don’t necessarily believe that you have stable creative and output capabilities, but I believe in the development prospects of the Huaguo film market. bright.

In a popular sense, the high market value of domestic film and television companies is mainly due to the market dividends. Shareholders and investment institutions holding film and television concept stocks may not necessarily be optimistic about your company. They are optimistic about the market and betting on your company's ability. A rising tide lifts all boats.

In order to maintain DreamWorks' current "prosperity and wealth", it is necessary to expand to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, or even diversify, increase the proportion of revenue for "gold diggers selling water", and reduce the proportion of revenue for "gold diggers".

In this way, even if you are unlucky this year and do not find gold, you can still make money by selling water and maintain the company's revenue and even profits.

DreamWorks invested in Station C, and even Mo, the number one special effects and animation studio in China, is the two most attractive capitals of DreamWorks in the eyes of institutional investors.

In addition, all Chen Jingxing can do is create a few more IPs and raise a few golden hens.

But Xu Wenshen thinks this is far from enough. The first thing he focuses on is the theater chain. This asset-heavy industry has a large demand for funds, and now due to the period of rapid expansion, there is a large funding gap. For DreamWorks, it is an entry The resistance is relatively low.

Now that it's on the market and has money, it's the best time to enter the market.

Of the six major film studios in Huaguo, only DreamWorks has no investment in theaters.

Xu Wenshen couldn't wait for a moment.

Chen Jingxing was a little puzzled by Xu Wenshen's urgency, but what he didn't know was that Xu Wenshen had been caught off guard by the stock price fluctuations these days.

As the executives of DreamWorks, not only Xu Wenshen, many people have equity incentives, even several founders and executives of Mo hold shares in DreamWorks.

However, the shares in the hands of Xu Sheng and others are that DreamWorks signed an equity swap agreement with the founders of Mok before going public. One is to allow them to enjoy the dividends of DreamWorks’ listing, and the other is to expand DreamWorks’ relationship with Mok. Take control.

After the equity swap, DreamWorks' shareholding in Mo has exceeded 76%. Even if Mo is spun off from DreamWorks and listed separately in the future, DreamWorks' absolute control over Mo can be guaranteed.

And the listing of DreamWorks made senior executives like Xu Wenshen unable to control their emotions. Even if they knew it was paper wealth, the fluctuation of paper wealth would still make people feel up and down.

Especially on the first day of IPO, they made great progress all the way. Compared with the issue price, Xu Wenshen and a group of executives were so excited and excited when they saw their net worth. .

You must know that a little fluctuation in the stock price will cause the expansion or contraction of paper wealth to be in the tens of millions, which is more exciting than gambling.

This kind of "listing syndrome" that worries about gains and losses because of daily stock price fluctuations obviously takes a long time to digest.

Chen Jingxing was actually more distressed than Xu Wenshen and the others. After all, he had the most shares. From the next day, from the opening of the market in the morning to the closing of the market in the afternoon, his paper wealth could lose hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Chen Jingxing had never had such an experience in his two lifetimes.

So exciting!
This kind of mentality of being hung by the stock price cannot be adjusted in a day or two, and it takes time to smooth and dilute it.

In order to get rid of this "stimulating" after-effects of listing, Chen Jingxing did not surf the Internet for several days, tried not to watch TV, and did not receive any information related to the listing of DreamWorks.

I devoted myself wholeheartedly to the warmth and happiness of a family of three.

As well as observing and tossing her daughter's career.

Who made the girl look so cute?He couldn't control his hands.

He relied on his daughter and wife to relieve the "listing syndrome", while senior executives such as Xu Wenshen relied on work to alleviate it, or to ensure that the stock price rose as much as possible and did not fall down.

Therefore, Xu Wenshen's decision to invest in theaters and expand the business scope of DreamWorks has received positive responses and support from all executives.

The machines of DreamWorks have also been turned on at an unprecedented speed, and the negotiation with the theater chain has been implemented at an unprecedented speed.

It can be seen that money can really turn ghosts around, especially lost money.

In the past, the executives of DreamWorks basically followed Chen Jingxing's lead. One was that they did not miss out on following Chen Jingxing, and the other was that they lacked some "ownership spirit".

If the movie makes money, they can also get bonuses and red envelopes. Even if the movie loses money, the responsibility is still the big boss's. The salary they should have is not less than a cent, which is a work incentive of a reward nature.

But now it's different. When the stock price falls, it's their paper wealth that falls. This is a punishment added to the reward.

Chen Jingxing wondered about the sudden increase in work efficiency of DreamWorks, took out his mobile phone, and searched for the word DreamWorks by accident, and it turned out that the home page was the stock price.

God knows he originally wanted to search for "Edge of Tomorrow", and wanted to see the feedback and evaluation of this movie on the Internet...

"Damn it! It's risen so much today?"

The green lines of Hong Kong stocks look fresh and pleasant.

After falling for several days in a row, it suddenly rose by more than 5% today. The stock price rose from 32.5 to 34.2, and the market value regained 500 billion, an increase of 26 billion.

Xu Wenshen smiled, as if he had been prepared for a long time: "The main reason is that the word-of-mouth of "Edge of Tomorrow" has come out, and the box office of the golden show has also exceeded previous expectations. Today's premiere box office may exceed 1.1 million. After all, it is a weekday. The box office results were higher than expected.

Tomorrow's pre-sales will also increase a lot. According to the estimated box office of 15 billion, there is no problem, and it has the potential to hit 20 billion, so the market responded accordingly. "

"Oh, 1.1 million..." Hearing Xu Wenshen's "report", Chen Jingxing didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.

After all, the stock price alone has risen by 26 billion today, and it will still be rising when he speaks...

Under Xu Wenshen's inexplicable eyes, Chen Jingxing looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, listing is poison.

No wonder in the previous life, some film and television companies' mysterious operations made netizens and audiences a little confused.

In front of the stock market, what is the box office of a movie...

Not to mention that Chen Jingxing dealt with the "listing syndrome" in the office.

The word-of-mouth premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow" and several other films on the Internet has sparked discussion.

"AMAZING! AMAZING! Once again, Dreamworks has pulled off a 'trailer scam'. After seeing the trailer I thought it was an action-packed, special effects-driven sci-fi blockbuster about an alien invasion. It is indeed rare in domestic films, but the story of the film really exceeded my expectations!

I can't be too spoilery, but I can say that "Edge of Tomorrow" is really similar to "Source Code", but it is different from "Source Code", it is a completely advanced version..."

"Director Guo Fan is getting more and more comfortable in this kind of heavy industry movies. The war scenes are really good, the plot is exciting, brain-burning but it doesn't look tired, but very relaxed. The first half of the movie is really humorous. This is DreamWorks. Something that wasn't in the previous film..."

"To be honest, judging from the trailers, "The Lost World" is more interesting than "Edge of Tomorrow". DreamWorks, aren't you very good at playing trailers? Just give me this??

Let me spend money on "Lost in the Illusionary World" for nothing!It's really disappointing. After all, Warner is also the two giants of Hollywood, and they invested nearly [-] million US dollars to show me this?

Or has DreamWorks raised my threshold for appreciating sci-fi movies?In the future, sci-fi movies will only recognize DreamWorks, and Warner should continue to make your super-English movies. "

"I've been hoping for a few more films like "Source Code" for a long time. It's strange. I think the idea of ​​"Source Code" is really great, but Dreamworks has been stuck with "Signal" since then, and the walkie-talkie TV It's a good time to play, but I just don't want to develop the reversion settings of "Source Code".

As a result, when the setting of "Tomorrow" came out, I just screamed!There is a feeling that there will be echoes if you can't forget, and although the concept is similar to "Source Code", it is even more exciting, far exceeding my expectations! "

"I originally wanted to give it four stars, but after much deliberation, I decided to add another star. How should I say it, maybe the appetite for "Matrix" is too high, and the creative implementation of "Edge of Tomorrow" is really good, and the story is also very full. , I don't lose my intelligence, and I don't have any peeing points, but it just feels quite satisfactory, and it didn't surprise me.

However, I still thought about it deeply. Movies like "Matrix" cannot be used as a reference, and it is somewhat unfair to "Tomorrow".

Judging from the completion of special effects, scripts, action scenes and other aspects, this is indeed a sci-fi blockbuster with no shortcomings. If it is put into other domestic companies and teams, it may not be able to shoot their shit.

Alas, I think of "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Journey to the West" in the Spring Festival again. Domestic movies are now a meal of chocolate and shit. Who can stand it?For companies like DreamWorks, encouragement should be given priority. "
