What I have to say is that in terms of investment, Andy is really not good at it, but in fact the fundamental reason is that the domestic market for small and medium-cost films is not big enough. The reason why foreign small- and medium-cost films can develop is that the film market is huge.
Although many people in China have more and more money in big cities, compared with the number of movies watched by people abroad, the number of people in China is estimated to be less than one-tenth of that in the United States, which is not enough to support the entire market.
of prosperity
Relatively speaking, a blockbuster undoubtedly means that it is well-made and may be better. Even people who don’t watch movies will have this idea.
Therefore, the small amount of money planned for watching movies was invested in watching blockbusters. Under such circumstances, small and medium-sized budgets will only be able to stage a dark horse reverse unless they are of really high quality and ignore the quality gap.
What a great show
Dark horses are rare, so you can imagine the current situation of Hengye Company. It is precisely because of this that William took a fancy to this company and finally chose this company to acquire.
In order to complete the acquisition as soon as possible, Zhang Yicheng flew from Beijing to Fuzhou in person
By this time, William had already prepared his car and was waiting.
"Tell me about this company!" Zhang Yicheng asked directly after getting into the car and resting on the seat cushion of the car. It was still very tiring after a long flight.
"This company is the only company in Fujian that is qualified for film distribution. So far, it has released nine films, but there have been no works that have had a great response. The company's finances are also relatively difficult. After thinking about it, I think
There is an opportunity to acquire this company!" William said
William is different from other domestic managers. He grew up abroad and graduated from abroad. He will look at the domestic situation more rationally.
"Nine movies!" Zhang Yicheng nodded and said. This scale is not too big, nor is it too small. Since nine movies have been released, it means that the relationship network has been laid out, and it should be with all major theaters across the country.
If there are some connections, then the release of "Thirty-day Love" will undoubtedly go smoothly, which is very good for many things.
However, he could also imagine Hengye's situation. There was no doubt that he was starving to death and not full to eat. After all, the distribution company was no better than the actual filming company or the theater chain. All their income came from the dividends from the movie box office, and
If it is a truly powerful company, if it releases some blockbusters, the dividends can easily reach tens of millions. It is not difficult at all, and it can even be close to 100 million. This is just the profit from releasing a movie, but compared with these
In contrast to the big profits, the profits of small businesses in the entire industry are much weaker.
Everyone wants to be a distributor of blockbusters, but not everyone has such qualifications. There are only a few blockbusters a year, and whether there are ten or not, they have long been divided up by the major distribution companies. How can a small company have such an opportunity?
For small companies, the films they can distribute generally only have a box office of several million or tens of millions, and the dividends they can get are not very many.
The basic conditions for being acquired by Zhang Yicheng are really met. Of course, if the results are good, Zhang Yicheng will certainly not be able to acquire him. If the results are too bad, it doesn't matter. Anyway, what Zhang Yicheng values is qualifications and channels.
Of course, according to the characteristics of the issuing company, except for the troublesome process of laying pipelines at the beginning, it is basically a blank wolf, so even if it does not make money, it generally will not lose much. If you want to find a company that will go bankrupt.
It’s not easy for any company
"Yes, it's not too much, but it's okay. I personally suggest that it's best to win it!" William said, feeling a little emotional that doing things at home is not as good as abroad. Many times, things that seem to be taken for granted abroad are not done at home.
Not so!
"Yes!" Zhang Yicheng nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
The car drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at the office building where Hengye Company is located.
Since they had an appointment with Huan Yi, the boss of Hengye Group, Zhang Yicheng and others went in smoothly.
The boss of Hengye Group is an authentic southerner. He is not tall, but he appears to be quite capable!
"Hello, Mr. Huan!" Zhang Yicheng, "I am Zhang Yicheng!"
"Mr. Zhang is a celebrity now!" Huan Yi said jokingly
This is not a joke. Now Zhang Yicheng has really become a celebrity in the circle. After all, it is not easy to become the CEO of a large company at a young age.
It should be said that except for Zhang Yicheng, no one can do it. After all, a man in his thirties is still considered young and handsome!
What's more, Zhang Yicheng's company has made a lot of news. The results in just over a year are much better than those he has developed for so many years. There is nothing you can do if you don't believe it. The facts are right in front of you.
"Mr. Huan, I think you should be very clear about our purpose of coming!" Zhang Yicheng said
"Yes!" Huan Yi nodded and said
In fact, William certainly obtained the acquisition intention from Huanyi and then asked Zhang Yicheng to take action and move Zhang Yicheng out. Naturally, it was because there were conflicts that could not be resolved. It was not that Hengye had no intention of selling. After all,
They have been living or dying for such a long time, starving to death and not having enough to eat. They also want to get rid of this burden, but the price of this burden is quite different between the two parties.
Hengye was very open and wanted to pay 20 million, but in fact, Tianlan Entertainment was only willing to offer 8 million.
The price of 20 million is simply a sky-high price for Tianlan Entertainment. It’s a rip-off. Even if he made a profit from each of the nine movies he released before, it might only be that much, but almost all of the money is spent by those people.
After the shareholders have divided it up, the total assets of Hengye may only amount to three to four million. Asking for 20 million is really a scam. The eight million offered by Tianlan Entertainment is all based on the issuance qualifications and channels.
The problem is, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be interested in cleaning up Hengye's belongings. Skylan Entertainment has all those things, and it's far better than them.
"Mr. Huan, according to me, the eight million we offered is indeed a very generous price in the industry, isn't it? According to the investment and return ratio, plus our eight million,
Your company has at least earned more than a thousand percent profit, which is quite a lot, isn’t it?" Zhang Yicheng said.
