Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 269 The situation is reversed, Lao Wang is moved!
The top floor of Wanda Hotel.

In a small luxurious conference room.

Fang Ziheng and Wang Jianlin sat next to each other, talking and laughing.

"Wang Dong, Wanda has successfully acquired Legendary Films. You are going to make a big splash in the global film and television industry!"

"It's a bit difficult to do a big job. It can only be said that the industry is adjusted to prepare for the layout of overseas markets."

Wang Jianlin smiled lightly, his words were three points modest and seven points tough.

He is a talkative businessman with a straightforward temper and rarely avoids problems directly.

Fang Ziheng likes to deal with such people. Compared with the three Internet hooligans, he is more willing to cooperate with Wanda.

Wanda Group acquired Legendary Pictures for 375 billion soft sister coins last year, and began to transform into light assets.

To be honest, this step is relatively large.

In the previous life, Wanda only started its overseas layout in August this year, acquiring AMC, the second largest movie theater in North America, with a total investment of 8 billion US dollars.

2013 to 2015.

Wanda continued to make overseas investments. It first invested 40 billion pounds in urban renovation projects in England, and then acquired the largest theater chain in Australia, the Hoyts Group, for US$[-] million, becoming the world's largest cinema chain kingdom in one fell swoop.

After improving the theater system and hotel business, it officially launched the acquisition of Legendary Pictures in 2016.

I don't know what the stimulus was for this early shot, but I guess it was the butterfly effect brought about by "Edge of Tomorrow".

Of course, Wanda's early entry and quicker deployment of overseas markets is a great thing in terms of Chinese-language films.

As for Hengyu Media Group, there is also a lack of a strong domestic opponent.

At this time, Fang Ziheng didn't know that the three hooligans had also accelerated their pace of entry, and he was thinking of joining Wanda Film and Television and Wanda Cinemas to arrange a second chain of defense.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, and kindly reminded: "Wang Dong, the situation in the overseas market is changing, Legendary Pictures can only be regarded as a second-rate film producer in Hollywood, and it does not have the ability to release a big-cast film like "The Great Wall"."

"This time, I propose to join [-]th Century Fox to distribute "The Great Wall" overseas. This is the reason."

"I understand Director Fang's worries. To tell you the truth, Legendary Pictures is not my ideal acquisition target. I originally wanted to directly acquire one of the eight major Hollywood companies."

Director Wang sighed, patted the armrest of the sofa, and said in a concentrated voice: "It's a pity that the North American market is becoming more and more mature, and the eight companies are backed by large capitals. The equity and relationship are intricate, and the total market value has always remained high.

We are outsiders, if we really want to throw tens of billions of dollars down, we are likely to be slaughtered by them as pigs! "

"Fang Dong, you are an expert in making movies. What kind of route do you think Wanda Films should take in terms of movie production?"

"Should we continue to release blockbuster movies of the big cast and make a bloody road, or should we link up with local film and television companies and simmer slowly?"

Wang Jianlin changed the subject and said one of the biggest purposes of meeting Fang Ziheng today.

Fang Ziheng was silent, and did not speak in time, his eyes met with Lao Wang's.

Is this asking him the way?
Or to pave the way for him to paint a big cake?

In the last life, Wanda seemed to be simmering slowly in the overseas market, but in fact it was hard steel, trying to carve out a bloody path.

As a result, the meat was not yet cooked, and a hole was burnt in the bottom of the pot.

Lao Wang had no choice but to break his wrist, and sold most of his overseas business to put out the fire and make up for it. By mistake, he really walked out of the route of light industrial assets.

Afterwards, he sat on the fishing boat, watched the business situation with a smile, and always stood at the top of the pyramid.

Compared with Wang Shi and Xu Jiaying, who are also in the real estate industry, those Internet giants, he, Wang, was the winner who went ashore first.

"Wang Dong, as far as I am concerned, I prefer to take a steady path step by step."

"Just like China's state-owned policy protection, North America and other countries in the world also have natural restrictions on foreign capital."

"Whether it's fighting a bloody road or chewing slowly, you need to speak for your work. This is the only iron law in the film and television industry!"

"In North America and in Hollywood, a movie with an investment of 3000 to 6000 million dollars is considered a success if it can sell more than [-] million dollars at the box office.

And a movie with an investment of more than [-] million US dollars, if it can't sell more than [-] million US dollars, it will be considered a failure.

Hollywood only cares about profit, whether it is the producer or the distributor, if the producer and operator of a project do not make money, no one will care about the company. "

Fang Ziheng said lightly, roughly talking about the cost and benefit ratio of film production.

On the luxurious sofa, Wang Jianlin leaned forward slightly, nodding while listening.

Wanda has great ambitions, and her vision is not limited to film production.

Acquiring many overseas theaters and building the world's largest theater chain giant are all in his overseas plans.

Channels and productions are all taken over, costs are controlled from the source, and the risk rate of the film industry is reduced.

This is Wanda's strategic policy!
The income ratio mentioned by Fang Ziheng seems to be just a few simple figures, but actually reveals quite a lot of deep meaning behind it.

As a bigwig in the business world, Wang Jianlin naturally understood the deep meaning of his words.

"I understand what Director Fang means. No matter where it is, product content is the kingly way, and it is one of the important principles of sustainable development.

Hehe, as long as there is a continuous output of high-quality movies, even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I have to buy it! "

The arrogant voice sounded in the conference room, Wang Jianlin smiled proudly, and instantly understood the key to the film market.

He looked at Fang Ziheng and secretly admired him.

Find a knowledgeable master to learn from, the effect is quite fruitful!

Speaking of which, Hengyu Media Group is taking such a route to create a large entertainment cycle industry, first supporting the family with high-quality movies, and then paving the way with various businesses.

In the end, he took the leap to the sky and produced a global hit movie like "Looking for the Dragon" alone!

The impact of a movie is immeasurable.

Leaving aside the imaginary things such as status and fame, the authority established by Hengyu alone has made major film and television companies look at each other with admiration and drool with envy.

The newly established subsidiary has also become a new star in the industry. The Hengyu Cinemas alone has attracted countless small theaters to come online.

Wang Jianlin remembered the feedback report he had received from Wanda Cinemas before he came to the hotel.

Hengyu Cinemas has developed rapidly in the past few months, and there are already hundreds of small theaters in prefecture-level cities, who have actively approached them to seek franchise and cooperation.

Gee
Even he, the boss of the Wanda Group, is not allowed to take the initiative to learn from him.

While admiring Wang Jianlin, he felt that it was time for him to show his skills, and he couldn't let the young people focus on their beauty.

He coughed lightly, leaned back, and regained the momentum of a business boss.

"Fang Dong, as far as I know, the development of Hengyu Cinemas is in full swing, and many small theaters are vying to join, and even seek investment and sale."

"It suddenly occurred to me just now that apart from its own business, Wanda Group also has good cooperative relations with real estate developers all over the country. If you need help, just ask Fang Dong."

coming.

Looking at the eloquent old Wang, Fang Ziheng's heart moved, and he secretly thought that this guy finally couldn't help reaching out to him.

"Wang Dong, has Wanda Cinemas reached its saturation point?"

Fang Ziheng smiled and asked the key point.

Open your mouth like a good intention, don't hit people with smiles.

Old Wang wanted to help, but he couldn't be indifferent and lose face.

"No, Wanda Cinemas will have to develop for at least a year before it can completely become the number one in the country."

Wang Jianlin shook his head, quite straightforward, not afraid to reveal the company's strategic direction.

He looked at Fang Ziheng and said domineeringly: "Wanda Cinemas belongs to Wanda Cinemas, and the development plan has already been set.

The real estate developers I mentioned all over the country have many shopping malls that can build new theater lines. These locations may overlap with Wanda Cinemas, or they are not within the coverage of Wanda Cinemas. "

"I was thinking, if Hengyu Cinemas can take over these shopping malls and build new cinemas, the speed of development will be doubled!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Jianlin smiled calmly, picked up the hot tea on the coffee table and blew two breaths, like a master fisherman, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Originally, he wanted to use money to open Fang Ziheng's mouth, so that the other party would let go of Wanda's investment in Hengyu Media.

But this method is useless. Hengyu Media is not short of money at present. Not long ago, it just rejected the quotations from Ali, Tengxun and Baidu.

If money doesn't work, replace it with resources.

He believed that Fang Ziheng was a smart man who could understand his kindness.

.........

I have to say that Pharaoh is indeed very human!
His hand really hit Fang Ziheng's chest, and he was in a dilemma.

Fang Ziheng's eyes were deep in thought, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind, as well as the benefits and risks of Lawanda's boarding the ship.

The development of Hengyu Cinemas is one of the group's biggest goals in the next two years.

He held two group executive meetings at the end of last year, emphasizing the development speed and quality of the theater chain.

According to the joint deduction of several departments, Hengyu Cinema Line can barely be laid to all parts of the country in two years, and it will be promoted to the top [-] of Huaguo Cinema Line.

Among them, franchised theaters accounted for 70%, and new theaters accounted for 30%!

Most of the franchised theaters are in old locations and old movie halls, and they are definitely not as good as big shopping malls in terms of passenger flow.

The only advantage is that it costs less money, and only needs to invest in upgrading decoration and equipment.

To build a new cinema, you need to carefully select the site and increase it from scratch.

Hengyu Media is a film and television company, and real estate is two different industries. In the construction of new theaters, it will inevitably encounter some obstacles, which will affect the normal construction speed.

It would be great if Wanda, a real estate giant, could help. Not to mention the speed, it would also increase the proportion of theaters being rebuilt.

Two years later, Hengyu Cinemas is expected to enter the top [-] cinemas in the country, completely improving the channel laying.

But Old Wang will not help in vain, his purpose is clear.

It is nothing more than wanting the shares of Hengyu Media Group!

Ha ha.

The calculation is good.

Fang Ziheng shook his head lightly, and said softly: "Wang Dong, Hengyu Media Group currently has no plans to raise funds, and Hengyu Cinemas is already developing very fast. According to my estimation, it will only take three to five years to enter the national theater rankings. The top thirty will do."

"If Director Wang is interested, I would like to cooperate with Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, Wanda Film and Television and Wanda Cinemas!"

"Hengyu Mutual Entertainment!"

Wang Jianlin frowned, looking puzzled.

Being rejected by Fang Ziheng, he was already prepared, but what the hell is Hengyu Huyu called out by the other party?

"That's right, it's Hengyu Huyu!"

Fang Ziheng blinked, and introduced: "This company was just established last year. It is controlled by Hengyu Group. Hengyu Cinemas, Tudou Video, Qidian Chinese Network, and Hengyu Wuxing Director Company jointly hold shares!"

"Oh, by the way, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment has just established a film distribution company jointly with Baoli Cinemas, Xingmei Cinemas, Guangxian Media, and Hengyu Wuxing Director Company to invest in and distribute film projects!"

Hearing this, Wang Jianlin sat up straight suddenly, and stared at Fang Ziheng in surprise.

Business extension, resource integration and redevelopment.

It integrates theater chains, video websites, Qidian Chinese website, and Wuxing director company, and is also controlled by Hengyu Media Group.

This nagging son, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, is a small Hengyu Media Group!
seem
Compared with the current nameless Wanda Film and Television, this company called Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is more powerful.

Winning Hengyu Interactive Entertainment is equivalent to winning half of Hengyu Media Group.

In this way, Wanda has also taken a solid step forward in the domestic film and television production industry.

At this moment, the situation is reversed.

It's his turn, Lao Wang's heartbeat!
