Previously, China Film and Television was very interested in DJ's shares and wanted to squeeze him out. The second king thought he was very talented, so he offered Fang Yi the conditions for exchanging shares, fully thinking that he would know his interests and come over to be his younger brother with peace of mind.
The result was not.
On the contrary, he was defeated by Fang Yi in his own field. The movie "Tongtian Empire" is not a bad movie. On the contrary, it is a commercial movie on the standard. The director, production, and actors have no big shortcomings, but
It's ugly to lose.
This incident has affected the fundamentals of China Film and Television. The withdrawal password he promised to shareholders seems to have expired. "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" was originally a large-scale series, but now the first shot is dumb. Is it still worth it?
If it goes on, the market has begun to doubt.
Based on the viewing trend reflected in the movie "Love Letter", China Film Group held two seminars for this purpose, and Guo Fan gave the speech instead of Fang Yi.
The theme of the discussion is: the battle for routes.
Ever since the ground-breaking "Hero" launched the ancient martial arts blockbusters, our market has only recognized this ultimate route, which is the ultimate after the Bronze Gate.
Both Feng Dapao and Chen Kaige were so excited that they tried a template one after another ("The Night Banquet", "The Promise").
Only this type of film can flourish both at home and abroad and achieve a certain box office around the world.
"The Promise" almost smashed the brand. But the new "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff" both did well at the overseas box office. In fact, they are still variants of costume blockbusters.
The problem is that everyone knows that this routine is in decline and is quickly rejected by the audience. And the market has not yet found a new "greatest common denominator" in the minds of the audience.
"Love Letter" seems to have touched the edge?
It's a pity that the isolated evidence doesn't mean anything. What is the trend? I'm afraid I have to wait for Fang Yi to explain it in person.
When Fang Yi returned to DJ's office building in Pengcheng again, Wang Tao personally came to pick him up at the gate and introduced him to the current business development situation:
"Your movie has a great publicity effect on DJs. Now almost all production companies know the equipment you use. They don't know how you are successful, but they will imitate you. Imitate your stories and imitate your equipment.
.”
As the elevator gradually rose, Wang Tao snapped his fingers, feeling a little proud.
"Right now, orders are in short supply. We are developing new equipment again. I can show it to you later. It is equivalent to the fact that we have already made a name for ourselves in the film industry."
"Now we just need the documentary "We Live in China" shot by director Lu Chuan... That film can be shown at the United Nations, which shows the strength of our DJ equipment in special equipment - because we have to shoot the continuous snow-capped mountains, and the endless
The Gobi desert in the inhabited area, the humid bamboo forest with morning mist, all these complex environments were filmed with one machine. Please be sure to dub it."
At this point, DJ has basically gotten rid of the embarrassment of sitting in the dormitory for R&D for the past two years and has entered a period of rapid growth.
Wang Tao mentioned the past in a brisk and emotional tone, "Fang Yi, I think you and I are the same person. As long as our stuff is good enough, others can't beat us, no matter how big they are or how powerful they are... the technology itself
It’s fair.”
He took Fang Yi to the new laboratory and emphasized, "No one can come in this laboratory except me and the R&D backbone, but you are an exception. You are different."
A small, exquisite 4-axis aerial photography equipment was delivered to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi: "Should I wear gloves?"
"You don't have to. I don't wear gloves when I usually play. They're not that delicate."
This is a statement. Wang Tao has already stated his position once before, and he was biased towards him at that time, "before Fang Yi's movie is released, he will not do anything detrimental to him."
Now express your position again.
The most obvious difference between this device and the original aceone is its appearance. This one has 4 axes. When it flies in the sky, it looks like a flat flying disc, while the original one is in the shape of a small helicopter.
There has also been progress in terms of quality. The new version of the equipment is obviously cuter and closer to the consumer market.
"There are more interesting ones."
Wang Tao turned on the test system in the laboratory, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere, but the thing was still able to maintain its level. Fang Yi saw from the connected monitor that the picture barely changed.
The popular one now on the market is different. It can only be pulled out to a few tens of meters to take long-range shots, and the shaking is obvious when taking close-up shots.
He found it very interesting and asked Wang Tao to add more air.
The picture started to shake slightly, but it was adjusted quickly.
"anything else?"
Wang Tao asked him to put on his protective glasses, and the two of them entered a special surveillance room together to prevent the blades from hitting themselves.
The air volume begins to increase and becomes random, and there are several airflows in different directions.
At this time, the screen was shaking more obviously, and it was difficult to control. As soon as Wang Tao saw the plane start to shake crookedly to one side, he immediately turned off the wind. He picked up his treasure and carefully checked whether there was any hidden damage.
He asked Fang Yi, "What do you think of this? It may take a year or two to actually make it. If the sales are good by then, we can introduce new investors - Sequoia Capital suggested that I can go public by then.
, I feel that after listing, we have to be responsible to shareholders and consider the impact of various news every day, so future research and development will not be pure."
"What do you think? In fact, you can cash out your stocks without going public. It's just that it's not publicly issued. We are a manufacturing company after all, and we accidentally became a film and television hardware company... I learned about a communications company in Pengcheng.
, their business is much larger, and they have not been listed on the market. The research and development cycle for products like ours is too long, and it is actually not suitable for listing."
Fang Yi nodded, "I agree with you."
Wang Tao raised his head and smiled: "Are you serious?"
"real."
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "Sure enough, you and I are like-minded. After all, you who make movies are different from those who invest money. Since I wrote the first code, the only one who has really helped me and understood me is
My college friends, and you - Sequoia Capital gave me money, but I looked down on him..."
He sighed, "You are still the purest. I really think making a movie is a very fair thing."
Fang Yi shrugged, and the two chatted about the current situation together. Then Sequoia Capital proposed a new proposal to "introduce investment," and Fang Yi and Wang Tao appeared in the conference room.
Representatives of existing investors greeted Fang Yi one after another.
Wang Tao introduced him and said, "Director Fang is our second largest individual shareholder and also our brand. It should be said that DJ is a manufacturing company with a low reputation. It will be the same in ten or twenty years. It was Director Fang who made us
It has become famous among the public, and so far, nearly 30 million people across Asia have viewed the footage shot with our equipment—I don’t think other organizations or individuals can do this.”
"Our current equipment is expensive, the domestic consumer market is very small, and Director Fang's reputation overseas may now be greater than that of China Film and Television."
The results of the vote are obvious. China Film and Television’s entry plan is bankrupt. If Sequoia Capital doesn’t want everyone to play house anymore, it will not raise this kind of proposal again in the short term.
The approval rate of the vote is the most interesting. Previously, the major investors were hiding and did not bet on any of them. This time they all voted against it. The representative of Sequoia Capital is Zheng Qiudong, who was very happy after messing up the matter.
