The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 46 Jianghe Culture Has Another Moth
Most of the Huanshiwang executives present here have read the script, but there is a huge gap between the text and the video. There is no doubt that the movie has brought them greater surprises than when they first saw the script.

Ren Bowei turned around and said with a smile: "Director Chen, although I can't predict the box office, but as far as the movie itself is concerned, I believe that "Fatal Identity" has a place in Huaguo's commercial movies, and it is definitely a classic." type of film."

Kang Hua on the side also stared at Chen Jingxing with strange eyes: "Director Chen, where did your endless ideas come from? The next movie will not be of this type, right? Has the script come out yet? Our Fantasy World Net will definitely continue to invest.”

Even though the movie hasn't been released yet, Kang Hua has already set his sights on Chen Jingxing's next script.

Ren Bowei shook his head: "Creativity is not the most important thing. There are many imaginative people in the world. Being able to combine creativity into a good story and make a film is an even more remarkable ability than creativity." , Mr. Chen, does your DreamWorks still need investment? Huanshiwang hopes to reach a closer cooperation with DreamWorks, you can give a figure for the valuation, I am serious."

The executives around were shocked, and after watching the movie, they couldn't wait to offer to invest in other people's companies, which shows how much Mr. Ren attaches importance to the young director in front of him.

Chen Jingxing asked with a smile: "Mr. Ren, the movie hasn't been released yet. I don't know if it's for money or not. Huanshi.com has so much confidence in me?"

"Regardless of whether or not the film is a box office success, it will not change my investment intention. This is because of my trust in Director Chen's personal ability. Don't worry, we have no intention of shaking your absolute control over DreamWorks. If If you feel uneasy, we accept that the investment shares should be limited to 15%.”

Ren Bowei thought that Chen Jingxing was the kind of person who attaches great importance to the control of the company, and wanted to dispel his worries. In the past, Huanshi.com used to invest in celebrities' personal studios, or as a bargaining chip for signing VAM agreements. It is better to kick the founder away, because the biggest value of a company founded by a star is the star itself, and it is unlikely for investors to take the founder away in the entertainment industry.

"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for your kindness. Now I'm focusing almost all of my energy on this movie. Let's wait for the investment to be discussed after the movie is released."

Ren Bowei and Kang Hua glanced at each other. It seems that this kid is very confident in his work, and he doesn't eat flattery. He didn't get dizzy from the flattery just now.

Chen Jingxing has no obsession with dreamworks becoming his sole proprietorship company. Even if he wants to ensure absolute control over the company, he does not need to be so extreme at all. It is important to know that sole proprietorship investors bear unlimited responsibility for the company's debts, even if out of From the perspective of risk control, Chen Jingxing will not refuse reasonable investment.

The most important thing is that investors themselves can bring not only funds but also resources, which is especially important in the film and television industry. Why do the five major studios and some theater companies hold shares in each other?The personal studios of many celebrities even accept investment from more than a dozen companies. Why?
In this circle, resources are even more important than funds. Didn't Internet companies like Huanshiwang hit the wall several times with huge funds in their hands?

So even for the future development of DreamWorks, Chen Jingxing would not refuse to invest.

But not accepting investment now.

Chen Jingxing is confident that as long as "Fatal Identity" can achieve a decent box office, such as more than [-] million, the valuation of DreamWorks will double or triple from the current basis. How can it be possible to sell shares at a low price now?
Secondly, as long as "Fatal Identity" can achieve a good box office result, it will not only attract investors from Huanshiwang, but also other Internet companies and even the five major studios may be interested in DreamWorks.

Chen Jingxing wants to take advantage of the Internet capital, but Internet capital is not just Huanshiwang. It accepts as much capital as possible from the film and television industry and even outside the circle. This is the road envisioned by Chen Jingxing for the future financing of DreamWorks. , Multiple investors have multiple paths.

Seeing that Chen Jingxing didn't let go, Ren Bowei felt a little regretful, but he didn't bother anymore, and changed the subject: "The quality of the movie is very reliable, so we can be bolder in the distribution, Mr. Kang, what's your opinion? "

Kang Hua was a little hesitant: "The previous distribution strategy has already been decided, and we have basically negotiated with several theater companies. Who knows that Jianghe will come out again, and it is indeed a bit difficult."

As soon as the words fell, the originally excited atmosphere of the crowd suddenly became dull.

Chen Jingxing also frowned.

I have to say that Jiang He, an old enemy, is very good at making moths. Originally, Huanshi.com had scheduled "Fatal Identity" to January 2014, 1. Its release on New Year's Day is a good release date in the Lunar New Year file. For this reason, Ren Bowei has already contacted several The home theater chain talked for many days before it was finally finalized.

Unexpectedly, Jianghe Culture suddenly announced yesterday that "Blood Knife Warriors", which was originally scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, will be moved to New Year's Day, which happens to collide with "Fatal Identity".

When Chen Jingxing first found out about this, he really wanted to ask Jiang He's boss, how much hatred did he have with him, and it was worth such a relentless pursuit?

But soon he realized that Jiang He didn't do this mainly because of "Fatal Identity".

Huanshiwang.com withstood the pressure of Qin Wuye, the national filmmaker, and nailed the Spring Festival file, so those who were kicked out from the first day of the new year became Jianghe Culture.

In fact, to be honest, it wasn't that Guoying pressured Jianghe Culture to withdraw from the Spring Festival, it was Jianghe Culture that couldn't hold on.

The outbreak of the Spring Festival in 2013 has made the film industry see the unlimited potential of the Spring Festival. Major studios have released heavyweight movies to compete for the Spring Festival in 2014. As a result, four blockbuster films will be squeezed in next year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. .

Even with the most optimistic growth rate forecast for the Spring Festival box office market, the four blockbusters are too reluctant. Before the five majors can coordinate with each other to come up with a result, Huanshiwang plunged in again. The investment is not large, but Huanshiwang's publicity ability and Qiwenshe's comedy appeal make other studios feel like a formidable enemy, and in this way, the Spring Festival stalls may become canned sardines.

Guoying Qin Zhonghe even called Ren Bowei specifically to persuade Huanshi.com to withdraw from the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, the purpose of Huanshi.com was to disrupt the original order, even if he did things that hurt others and benefited himself, and a novel The cost of comedy films can also afford it, so they insist on not withdrawing.

Huanshi.com would rather lose money than withdraw. Now it's time for other studios to sit on the candle. Jianghe is the first to be unable to withstand it. Jianghe's martial arts masterpiece "Blood Knife Warriors" claims to have an investment of 7000 million, even if the water is removed [-] million. As a traditional studio, Jianghe is incomparable to Huanshiwang in terms of liquidity and size. He absolutely cannot afford to lose money. In the internal evaluation, he also thinks that it is difficult to beat Guoying's "" Spring and Autumn Forges the Sword", Jingying and United Cinemas' "The Monkey King" and "Casino II" led by Tianrun.

In fact, even without Huanshiwang's spoiler, "Blood Knife Warriors" is likely to be changed. The reason why it lasted until now is purely because the five major studios are blinking first.

Since the Spring Festival file is to be withdrawn, when will it be changed to become a problem. After the Spring Festival file, three, four, and May are the off-season. If you want a big ticket warehouse, you have to go to the summer file, and the time will be too long. The movie "Blood Knife Warriors" was even finished at the end of 2012. It was originally planned to be released in the summer of 2013, but it was red-eyed by the outbreak of the Spring Festival, so it was announced that it would be scheduled for the Spring Festival in 2014.

Since it can’t be postponed, then we can move up the file. Originally, a better schedule is late December, but the superhero blockbuster "Martian Manhunter" introduced by China Film Group is scheduled for Christmas Eve. Although "Martian Manhunter" is not a popular hero, the domestic box office forecast Not high, but try to avoid head-on collisions with Hollywood blockbusters.

The first day of the Lunar New Year falls on February 2th. The box office market is usually relatively sluggish in the 8 days before New Year’s Eve. Therefore, it is necessary to open up enough space with the Spring Festival stalls and not to collide head-on with blockbuster blockbusters. New Year’s Day is a more suitable date. .
