director of the millennium

A little after ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Yuan arrived at the headquarters of Light and Shadow Times.

Since the era of light on the other side of the ocean entered the acquisition period, Wu Yuan's work in company management has indeed dropped sharply.

In the past, he not only had to control the general development direction of domestic companies, but also needed to control the general direction of the Light Times.

Originally, the Light Era was supposed to make several movies this year, including the "Hunger Games" series.

But now that the company has entered the final stage of being acquired, Wu Yuan naturally no longer needs to worry about the Light Era.

Even a lot of John's work has already been handed over to Disney, so he feels even more relaxed.

Of course, he will also receive billions of dollars in cash for this.

Wu Yuan has already decided how to use this money.

Datou will definitely invest in the development of light and shadow broadcast, especially in Asia.

At present, streaming media platforms in the United States such as Netflix and Disney+ have not yet appeared or have just started. In the entire world, Light and Shadow Qvod is the first to develop transnationally.

However, due to insufficient funds, although the development of the light and shadow era is very steady, it can also be said to be slow.

After all, for Internet companies, exponential expansion is the basic operation.

In the early stages of the software's launch, everyone should be frantically burning money to capture market users.

Just like Disney+ only started in 2017, but by 2019 it was spread across dozens of countries around the world, with hundreds of millions of users and over million paying users.

Such data are of course the result of crazy spending.

Wu Yuan before did not have the ability to spend money.

Originally, he planned to start the first round of financing for Light and Shadow Kuaibo, but just at this time, Disney came to acquire Light Times and offered a huge amount of cash. Wu Yuan immediately gave up the idea of ​​financing.

30 billion U.S. dollars. Assuming that only 20 billion U.S. dollars are invested in Guangying Kuaibo, this amount of money is definitely more than what he raised when he opened the first round of financing.

After all, Wu Yuan does not want to lose control of Guangying Kuaibo, so it is impossible to take out too many shares in the first round, only about 20% at most.

Can the current valuation of Guangying Kuaibo exceed US$100 billion?

Certainly not.

But if he invests 20 billion US dollars in a wave of crazy expansion, the valuation is estimated to exceed billion US dollars, and it may even exceed billion US dollars.

This is the charm of Internet finance.

And there isn't much time left for him.

It’s already 2013, and in two or three years, the domestic video platform war will be over.

At present, domestic video platforms have been engaged in a big fight. Tudou has fallen out of the echelon due to the divorce case of its founder and was acquired by Youku.

The strange video is already ready to start, and it will be released first.

Although Penguin Video has just started, it is still backed by Penguin Group, which should not be underestimated.

As for once-powerful platforms such as Liujianfang and Ku6, they have rapidly declined and been abandoned by the market after the domestic online video copyright hammer was hammered down.

Although Guangying Kuaibo is now the largest video platform in China, surpassing Youku, it is still under great pressure.

After the three giants start spending crazy money to buy copyrights in this area, if Lighting and Film Express cannot spend the money to keep up with the copyrights and does not have many genuine movies and TV series under its umbrella, it will soon fall behind.

Of course, Wu Yuan had already prepared for this.

Whether it's Wan He Tianyi or Rampage Comics, Wu Yuan has already captured the Light and Shadow Era.

The era of light and shadow will not only burn money to grab copyrights, but will also focus on self-produced dramas in the next few years.

What we are playing is competition with differences, staying one step ahead!
While other platforms in China were still fighting for piracy, Guangying Times was already buying genuine copyrights that were not worth much at the time and were regarded as being taken advantage of. As for domestic video platforms, they have almost merged and begun to use genuine products. Wu Yuan has already directed the development of his own dramas and variety shows in the light and shadow era.

Of the 20 billion US dollars, 3-5 million will be used to develop self-made online dramas and usher in a great era of online dramas.

Of course, this money is not just for domestic use, but also for the self-produced drama strategy of the entire Asia in the light and shadow era.

3-5 million US dollars, almost billion yuan, is enough to film dozens of his own dramas and variety shows!

Even if you want to target the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets, it is more than enough!

As for the remaining US$10 billion, Wu Yuan has also thought about it and has to invest it in his main business, which is the era of light and shadow.

Producing film and television dramas has always been Wu Yuan's main business. Whether it is a streaming media platform or a theater chain, they are all expansions based on the main business.

This 10 billion will be used to make our own movies and TV series in the light and shadow era.

These are no longer online dramas, they will all be blockbusters and star-rated TV series.

Especially TV series.

Under the orders of Wu Yuan, Light and Shadow Times has been buying the film and television adaptation rights of novels.

Especially Gu Man's novels.

From "Shan Shan Is Here" to "A Little Smile Is Alluring" to idol dramas such as "You Are My Glory".

Male-video novels such as "Sister-in-law", "Celebrating More Than Years", "Fight to Break the Sphere", "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", and "Tomb Robbers Notes".

Wu Yuan caught them all in one go.

Next, the Light and Shadow Era will produce a large number of TV series, because the mainland film and television market in the next five years will not only belong to movies, but also to TV series.

Especially for "Tomb Raiders", the TV series and movie of this novel have already been approved, and they just need to spend money.

The Age of Light and Shadow is not like a group of small companies in the original world. If you want to do something, you must use good special effects, and don’t do those 50-cent special effects!

In addition, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Fights Break the Sphere" are also TV series and movies that have been approved together.

One billion US dollars is not necessarily enough.

Moreover, Wu Yuan's new movie will definitely cost a lot of money. He must make a super special effects blockbuster this time!
We can’t let “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” take the cake!

With these things in mind, Wu Yuan walked all the way to the company building and arrived at Li Xiaoping's office.

As soon as she saw him, Li Xiaoping said angrily: "Ale, isn't this our beloved director Wu, Boss Wu?"

"Why are you free to come to the company today?"

"I thought you had forgotten that you have such a company."

Eh? !

Why is Li Xiaoping so weird today?

Wu Yuan smiled awkwardly, "What's going on?"

"What else can happen?" Li Xiaoping glared at Wu Yuan angrily: "Now the company has three movies in post-production, three movies in the process of being approved for production, and five or six TV series projects are in progress."

"With so many things, you, the big boss, just act as a hands-off shopkeeper and don't care about it?"

"This." Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Next time I will do it. I will definitely care about it next time."

"I'm busy with my own movie!" (End of chapter)
