Chapter 318 Animation Company Plan
"Boss, many partners have come to ask what our company's next project plans are. Including several David TVs, Penguin Video, Pea Video, etc..."

During the Olympics, Fang Xing basically rested at home, and the release of the album had already been settled.

Of course, every Monday, Fang Xing would still go to the company to attend the weekly work meeting.

Qiao Yinghong first made a work summary of the past week.

The sales of the album have entered a plateau, and the long-term effect is very good.

This album has at least 1000 million sales income every month, and there will be VIP membership share and copyright income in the future.

After the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Fang Xing was completely free.

According to Fang Xing's habit, after a period of rest, he will have a new work plan.

If it's music work, Fang Xing is a shareholder of Songshi Records, and basically won't cooperate with other record companies.

If it is a film and television project, then there are more opportunities for cooperation.

so far.

The two TV series produced by Ark Culture, "Wulin Biography" and "The Beginning", both are hits, and both are B-level productions.

This kind of project with small investment and high yield is the hen that lays golden eggs, and it is the favorite type of investment for film and television companies.

Because the investment is small, even if you lose, you will not lose much.

Once it becomes a blockbuster drama, not only the investment income is huge, but also the artists in the company can be stuffed into the TV series, so that the TV series will make the company's artists popular.

Therefore, right after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, many partners came to inquire about the news.

Qiao Yinghong's response is basically that there is no project plan for the time being.

"Boss, what project do you want to prepare next?" After Qiao Yinghong finished her work report, she asked the most concerned question.

"Not yet, do the work at hand first." Fang Xing did not have any new work plans yet.

"At present, all David TV and film and television companies want to ask us if we have any film and television plans. Does the boss have any ideas now? Or whether to hold a concert? With the boss's current music library, it is enough to hold a concert." Qiao Yinghong proposed Two suggestions.

Generally speaking, if a singer wants to hold a personal concert, the premise is that the song can sing the entire concert.

The second is that the tickets have to be sold.

Now, Mai Lin Records is preparing for Tan Zhiguan's national tour, and the tickets for Donghai Station have already started selling.

"The concert will not be held for the time being. Tickets are still too expensive for most people. Let's talk about it later when we need it." Fang Xing is not considering the concert for the time being.

Qiao Yinghong nodded, and then said: "Also, the regulatory department of radio and television has issued a document and needs to send someone to a meeting."

"You can arrange this matter. We will strictly follow the requirements of the national regulatory authorities." Fang Xing expressed his attitude.

"Okay." Qiao Yinghong nodded in agreement, and wrote it down in the notebook with a pen.

At the end of the regular meeting, Fang Xing remembered something and asked, "How much money is in the company's account now?"

Qiao Yinghong communicated with the chief financial officer, and replied: "We don't have any investment projects in the near future, and the funds are abundant. There are [-] million funds that can be used directly. If the demand is greater, we can raise another [-] million within three months."

"Enough, I have time to chat with Liang Jing, if he is willing, buy his studio. I plan to expand the scale and develop into a film and animation company." Fang Xing said his plan.

"Spirited Away" produced by Liang Jing Studio has reached the late stage.

In this animated film, Ark Culture is the main investor, accounting for 50%.

In addition, Fang Xing, as the director, screenwriter, and producer, also got another 10% dividend, and the remaining 40% went to investors such as Liangjing Studio and Jade Bird Film and Television.

Regarding the acquisition of Liang Jing's studio, Fang Xing hadn't talked to him yet, so he wasn't sure if he was willing or not.

If he is willing, then Fang Xing is going to use his studio as the basis to develop into a film and television animation company.

If he doesn't want to, then buy another animation company.

Now the animation industry is not doing well, big companies are doing well, and many small companies are facing bankruptcy. It is not difficult to acquire a small animation company.

Of course, Fang Xing's first choice is to cooperate with Liang Jing.

After all, they have worked together before, and they know Liang Jing's character and behavior quite well.

Fang Xing likes people like Liang Jing who concentrate on doing things instead of making money.

……

After the regular work meeting was over, Qiao Yinghong had a chat with Liang Jing in person.

This matter is very important, Liang Jing couldn't make up his mind for a while.

That night, he called Fang Xing, hoping to meet up.

Fang Xing asked him to come to Ark Culture the next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Fang woke up to the office, Liang Jing was already waiting in the office.

"Have you had breakfast?" Fang Xing asked casually after sitting down.

"Eat, eat." Liang Jing held the briefcase in his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"I asked you to come here today, and you should know about it. I'm thinking about buying an animation company, or injecting capital. Because we have cooperated before and we are quite harmonious, so if you want, we will do it together in the future. If you think you can do it alone It's better, then I'll let someone talk about other animation companies." Fang Xing directly expressed his attitude as soon as he came up.

Although the two parties cooperated on "Spirited Away", the process was very pleasant, but this time, after all, they want to acquire his studio, so it is better to clarify the matter.

In business talk business, all the terms are put on the surface, which can avoid conflicts in the future.

In fact, Liang Jing was also hesitant. He pushed his glasses again and asked, "I heard Mr. Qiao said that you want to develop a film and television animation company?"

"There is indeed a plan. Acquiring an animation company is the first step." Fang Xing replied with a nod.

"But my studio is actually very small." Liang Jing was a little worried.

"It's enough to finish an animated movie. The company can develop slowly in the future, it depends on your own ideas." Fang Xing didn't urge him.

"How much does the other party want to invest?" Liang Jing didn't use the word "acquisition", because he developed the studio by himself, and he still hoped to keep a part of the shares.

"I found an investment company to estimate that your Liang Jing studio is worth 3000 million based on the current valuation. Most of the value comes from the unfinished "Spirited Away." Fang Xing's tone was flat, no Deliberately belittle him.

Regarding the valuation of the studio, Liang Jing knew very well.

His studio, before cooperating with Fang Xing, was actually a grass-roots team, looking for people to invest everywhere, and it was on the verge of disbanding several times.

It wasn't until Fang Xing's investment began to produce "Spirited Away" that he began to recruit people, expand the studio, and produce this animated film.

So far, the project of Liangjing Studio has only one "Spirited Away".

Although he personally likes this animated film very much, it is still unknown whether the cost can be recovered after the film is released.

After all, now that the animated film is produced, it is still unknown whether it can be released.

After the release, whether the cost can be recovered is also unknown.

Liang Jing has only one goal for this animated film, to recover the cost.

As long as the cost is recovered, then he has the next project.

If you can't even recover the cost, then you don't know when you will have to wait for the next project.

Therefore, the value of his studio depends entirely on the project "Spirited Away".

If the project fails, the value of his studio will drop to the bottom, and if the project makes money, the value of his work will also increase accordingly.

Liang Jing is a person who wants to concentrate on animation. He really doesn't like and is not good at doing business.

However, he is not stupid.

He knew very well that if he made money with Spirited Away, the valuation of his studio would go up.

If "Spirited Away" hits the market, his studio will become worthless.

Currently, the production of "Spirited Away" has reached the final stage.

Fang Xing proposed to buy his studio at this time, the timing is very delicate.

Liang Jing asked tentatively: "President Fang, are you very confident in "Spirited Away"?"

Fang Xing smiled, and replied: "Of course, I am the editor of this animation film, and I am also responsible for part of the director's work. Of course I have confidence in it.

"I also understand what you are thinking, you think this is a big gamble.

"If Spirited Away hits, your studio valuation will skyrocket.

"That is to say, by that time, if you sell the studio, you can get more money.

"If "Spirited Away" loses money, the value of your studio will also plummet.

"In short, it depends on whether you want to accept the capital injection before the release of "Spirited Away", or wait until after the release."

Liang Jing shook his head quickly: "No, I just want to know the purpose of Boss Fang's acquisition of the studio."

Fang Xing thought for a moment, and said directly: "I'll tell you straight. I have confidence in "Spirited Away". After the movie is released, the valuation of your studio should increase.

"You should be able to make a lot of money from the project Spirited Away.

"You led the team to produce this animated film, and you deserve the money you make.

"However, let me tell you frankly, after "Spirited Away" is released, I will not consider injecting capital into your studio, but to acquire another animation company.

"It's as simple as that, now you accept the capital injection, and we will continue to cooperate.

"If you want to go it alone, you'll get what you deserve for working on this animated film."

After hearing this, Liang Jing frowned.

Because Fang Xing's words were too straightforward.

He didn't even hide an iota of real thoughts.

Liang Jing's heart was beating wildly, and he understood what Fang Xing meant.

If his studio accepts funding, there will be collaborations in the future.

If he does not accept the capital injection, then Fang Xing will buy another animation company.

This means that Fang Xing will no longer cooperate with him in future animation projects.

of course.

If "Spirited Away" makes money, then his studio will surely be able to get other animation projects.

The key point now depends on whether he values ​​the cooperation with Fang Xing.

After Fang Xing expressed his attitude, he kept smiling and looked at him.

In fact, on this kind of issue, Fang Xing has always given the partner a chance to choose.

This has been the case since "Wulin Biography".

If Song Yutong was willing to lower her salary to take the role of "Guo Furong", now Song Yutong can already try to become a first-line actress.

And Lin Yingxue, if she is willing to accept "The Beginning" at a friendly price for the sake of her previous cooperation when talking about "The Beginning", then she can also reach the top of the second line.

Now, Fang Xing is planning to start an animation company, and if he is going to buy a company, it depends on whether Liang Jing is willing or not.

Liang Jing was actually struggling.

He values ​​the cooperation with Fang Xing, but the studio is also his passion.

He thought about it all night last night and didn't get much sleep.

Fang Xing saw his hesitation, smiled and said: "Don't worry, you go back and think about it first, and give me an answer within a week."

Liang Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Fang, after you acquire the studio, will there be animation projects in the future?"

Fang Xing nodded and admitted, "Of course, otherwise, what would I do if I bought an animation company?"

Liang Jing asked again: "If I accept the capital injection, I hope to leave a part of the shares for myself and the original entrepreneurial team."

One of the reasons Fang Xing wanted to acquire his studio was because he valued his ability in animation production.

If you want to cooperate for a long time, of course you must leave him a part of the shares.

Otherwise, who would want to work for nothing?

Fang Xing replied: "If you accept the capital injection, then I will inject 5000 million to acquire 80% of the shares, and leave the remaining 20% ​​to you and your team."

When Liang Jing heard this answer, his heart was finally moved.

He knew very well that with his ability, without Fang Xing's help, his studio might have been disbanded by now.

If you want to develop the studio into an animation company in the future, you will definitely need a lot of money.

Even if they don't accept Fang Xing's capital injection, they still have to accept capital injection from other investment companies.

The difference is that if "Spirited Away" makes money in its release, his studio's valuation will be higher and he will get more money.

However, Fang Xing's meaning is also very obvious. After "Spirited Away" is released, he will not want his studio anymore, but choose other animation companies.

After Liang Jing thought it over, he immediately agreed: "I am willing to accept the capital injection, and I can sign the contract after discussing with the team when I go back."

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Okay, when the time comes, you will contact Mr. Qiao, and someone will discuss the details of the capital injection with you."

"Thank you Mr. Fang, then I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, Liang Jing stood up and said goodbye, ready to go back and discuss this matter with the team that started the business together.

After he went back, he immediately consulted with the five core members of the studio.

However, team members are not all thinking the same way.

Some have confidence in "Spirited Away" and feel that they should wait for the film to be released before refinancing.

At that time, a higher valuation can be obtained.

Liang Jing still hopes to accept the capital injection from Ark Culture: "Fang Xing's attitude is very clear. After "Spirited Away" is released, he will not want our studio."

"If we don't want our studio, then we can find other investment companies. As long as our value is reflected, are we afraid that no company is willing to invest?" Feng Jianyu, as a member of the entrepreneurial team, hopes to get more.

"However, once Fang Xing doesn't invest in us, he won't cooperate with us in future animation projects." Liang Jing still cared more about the animation works themselves.

"Can we only cooperate with Fang Xing? Is he the emperor? Without him, we can't do animation?" Feng Jianyu was very firm.

Another entrepreneurial team member suggested: "Stop arguing, let's vote. There are six of us, and Liang Jing counts as two votes. The minority obeys the majority. If you feel that you can't get along in the future, after the financing, everyone will divide the money and leave. Okay. Let's get together."

Liang Jing thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's vote. However, I still pay more attention to the animation itself. I like Fang Xing's attitude and understanding of animation. I like to continue to cooperate with him in the future, so I Raise your hand to invest in Ark Culture and agree to the capital injection of Ark Culture.”

Of the six people, only two raised their hands, and none of the other four raised their hands.

Seeing this result, Liang Jing was a little dazed. He didn't expect that in the six-person entrepreneurial team, four people voted against it.

"You..." He didn't know what to say.

Feng Jianyu sighed: "Liang Jing, I know you like animation, and we like it too, but we also want to make money. The quality of "Spirited Away" will definitely sell well. After "Spirited Away" becomes popular, Our studio will become famous. At that time, some companies will want to invest, and the valuation of hundreds of millions will be no problem.”

Liang Jing was a little angry: "Then what do you mean now?"

"What the four of us mean is that the studio needs to raise funds after "Spirited Away" is released. If Fang Xing is still willing to inject capital at that time, we can continue the discussion." Feng Jianyu expressed his attitude.

Liang Jing didn't expect this kind of result, he was stunned for a long time.

The next day, I had no choice but to find Fang Xing and explain the thoughts of the rest of the entrepreneurial team.

Fang Xing couldn't help feeling amused when he heard his story.

This studio is called Liang Jing Studio, but in the end he couldn't make his own decision.

From this point of view, he is indeed not suitable for managing the company, but only suitable for concentrating on animation.

Fang Xing thought about it, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Liang Jing quickly expressed his attitude: "I hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Fang, but our team voted internally, and four people disagreed. I... I don't know what to do."

Fang Xing was not angry about this, and said directly: "This is easy to handle. We jointly acquired an animation company. You are in charge of animation production, and I will send someone to manage the company.

"It's still the same as before. The acquired animation company will leave you with 80% of the shares. The part you invest can be paid after "Spirited Away" is released.

"Actually, you should also be able to see my attitude. The reason why I considered your studio at the beginning is actually just wanting you.

"If the rest of your team won't, then we'll just start another company, take as many people as you can out of the studio, and leave the rest to them."

Liang Jing was a little surprised when he heard this.

Now he finally understood what Fang Xing really wanted.

This is entirely to tailor an animation company for him, so that he can really concentrate on animation and manage the company's affairs, which can be handed over to other people.

This is actually what he really wanted.

Liang Jing didn't need to discuss with other people this time, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I am willing."
