China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 521 Gambling

As we all know, for the movie "ShipTwo", Wang Shu later reached a cooperation with Huayi, which led to Huayi's participation in the film.

With this successful example, film companies such as Light Media, Emperor Entertainment Group, Huayi Film Group, and Bona Film Group have all approached Wang Shu to seek cooperation.

It’s not that we can’t discuss these collaborations that come to us.

Wang Shu directly eliminated Emperor Entertainment Group and Bona Entertainment.

The former was listed on Hong Kong Island in the millennium, while the latter will not be listed until 2022. There is nothing much to talk about.

Relatively speaking, Huayi and Guangxian have something to talk about.

Huayi will be listed at the end of October this year, and its stock price has soared.

Guangxian will be listed in early August 2011, and its stock price will also soar.

It can even be said that Guangxian's price-to-earnings ratio is higher than Huayi's.

Of course, Huayi’s share price fell because it gave its equity to celebrities and put pressure on selling, so that its price-to-earnings ratio is lower than that of Guangguang.

But no matter what, after the listing, the price-to-earnings ratio of Guangxian is indeed higher than that of Huayi.

In a private room of a hotel in Beijing, Wang Shu attended a dinner party organized by Wang Changtian as scheduled.

The two were old friends who had dealt with each other many times. After a few simple courtesies, they sat down and chatted while eating.

Wang Changtian wanted to get on the co-production train, and Wang Shu also wanted to get shares in Light Media.

He knew clearly that after the listing of Light Media, the market value was 81.1 billion.

As a result, Wang Changtian became the boss of a listed media and film and television company with a personal net worth of nearly 40 billion yuan.

After Light Media went public, the closing price was 74 yuan per share.

If Wang Shu used one or two yuan per share to buy 200 million original shares from Guangxian now, he would make a fortune when Guangxian went public.

For example, Wang Shu spent 2 million yuan to get 400 million original shares of Guangguang Media at a price of 200 yuan per share.

When the price rises to 74 yuan per share, it will be 1.48 million.

400 million turned into 1.48 million in the blink of an eye.

Of course, this is a theoretical benefit, and there will be differences in practice.

But no matter what, I spent 2 million yuan to get 400 million original shares of Guangxian at a price of 200 yuan per share.

Well, when Guangxian goes public, it will at least be worth more than 100 million.

Although Wang Changtian did not distribute equity to artists under Guangxian to reduce the pressure on the company, he distributed 20% of the shares to the company's backbone business personnel.

From this point, it can be seen that Wang Shu did have the opportunity to obtain Guangxian’s original shares.

"Director Wang, this is the wine that Mr. Wang brought from home. He has treasured it for many years."

Next to Wang Shu, Liu Yan poured him wine and said with a smile.

Liu Yan is an artist of Guangguang, and Wang Changtian knows that Wang Shu and Liu Yan have a good relationship.

So Liu Yan was invited to join the dinner.

"Oh?" Wang Shu said jokingly, "Boss Wang, you are too polite, aren't you?"

Wang Changtian laughed and said, "It has to be taken out and drunk eventually, so today I'm bringing it out for Director Wang to try."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and after they had almost finished their meal, they finally got down to business.

Wang Changtian smiled and said, "Director Wang, Guangguang and Yikeshu have cooperated several times, and every time was a pleasure."

"This time, I came to you just to ask, can light be used as a factor?"

Wang Shu heard this and said calmly, "Boss Wang, to be honest, before you called me, Huayi, Bona, and even Emperor Entertainment Group and Uniview Entertainment in Hong Kong had contacted me."

"They have the same idea as you, they all want to get involved."

When Wang Changtian heard this, his heart sank.

Wang Shu has always cooperated with China Film Group, which, as the leading company in the mainland, is not short of money. This time, not only China Film Group, but also Shanghai Film Group and Wanda Film Group participated.

With these three giants around, plus the participation of Hollywood companies, it means that Wang Shu's co-production has no shortage of funds.

On the premise that there is no shortage of funds, companies such as Huayi, Bona, Emperor Entertainment Group and Media China also want to participate in the investment.

Wang Changtian just felt that the competition was too fierce and it was difficult to deal with.

However, he is not completely without confidence.

In terms of friendship, he felt that Guang Guang was deeper than those of Huayi, Emperor Entertainment Group and Wang Shu.

If you polish Wang Shu a little, maybe there will be changes.

Wang Changtian raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Shu, then said with a smile, "Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Director Wang's co-production project will be a success, so of course everyone wants to be a part of it."

"But compared to them, Guangguang has cooperated with Yikeshu many times."

“And it’s been a pleasure working together.”

"This time, Director Wang can definitely continue to cooperate with Guangguang."

Wang Shu listened to him and said calmly, "Boss Wang, to be honest, this co-production has no shortage of funds."

"And you also said that this co-production could be a success."

"So, whether it's China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, or Wanda, none of them want to see new film companies join in."

Wang Changtian had anticipated this and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Director Wang, didn't Huayi participate in the last time you directed the movie "Travel to Taipei"?"

This sentence hit Wang Shu's heart. He interrupted without making any noise, "Last time, after confirming the share, Huayi did participate in the investment of Taipei Trip again, but Huayi used the company's original shares for replacement. Could it be that Mr. Wang also has this idea?"

When Wang Changtian heard this, his face froze and he smiled awkwardly: "Director Wang, you don't know that Guangguang has not distributed any equity, so..."

He had no intention of trading Guangxian's original shares to Wang Shu, he just wanted to establish a relationship and participate in co-production of a film.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Boss Wang, Mr. Wang from Huayi also contacted me. Guangguang didn't distribute equity, but Huayi did. Isn't that right?"

Although the words were not said explicitly, Wang Changtian understood them clearly.

This is telling him that if Guangguang is not sincere, even if it will invest in another film and television company, it will be the sincere Huayi.

In fact, Huayi no longer distributes equity to external parties.

However, Wang Changtian could not protect Wang Shu and Huayi's big and small Wang Hui from doing things behind the scenes.

Wang Changtian suddenly asked in confusion: "Director Wang, I see that you seem to be very interested in original shares. Are you sure that you can make money by listing the company?"

Wang Shu listened to him and explained calmly, "I directed a movie called The Wolf of Wall Street in Hollywood. Mr. Wang should know about this, right?"

“This movie is about the stock market.”

“So I like to tinker with that now.”

"However, it is normal for the stock market to have gains and losses."

“No one can make a profit without losing money.”

"After all, it's just a gamble."

This answer is rather far-fetched and superficial.

However, just because it was so simple, Wang Changtian believed it.

He thought that Wang Shu had gone to Hollywood, been influenced by the capitalist world, and had picked up some bad habits.

For example, the stock market.

The stock market, after all, is nothing more than a gamble.

Nowadays, there are very few people in the mainland entertainment industry who understand finance.

Wang Changtian doesn’t really understand either.
