The reason why Zhonghe Film Industry is positioned as focusing on film and television investment is mainly because many group executives, including Zhang Yida, are not familiar with other business sectors and have little experience.
You can hire headhunters to find relevant talents, but the film and television industry is very deep and there are many scammers.
When it comes to film and television investment, Zhang Yida still remembers some hit movies to some extent, which can give full play to his strengths.
Earn income during the investment process and get to know some excellent content producers at the same time.
Through mergers and acquisitions or equity investments, we will improve each major business segment bit by bit.
After listening to Zhang Yida's story, Zhang Lan also understood that it turned out that it was not a comprehensive film and television group.
To put it bluntly, at this stage, we are building a film and television investment fund company.
"After the establishment of Zhonghua Industry, will it also be under the content business group?" Zhang Lan asked again.
"Of course." Zhang Yida nodded with a smile and added: "By the way, in addition to the film and television company, we also need to establish an online ticketing company."
“Online ticketing?”
Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, "Maoyan, Tao Piao Piao kind?"
"Yes, this is also a part of the industry chain. After the platform is built, DouShi, Kuaishou, Pinduoduo, and TouRongHui will all open traffic portals."
A few traffic portals with hundreds of millions of users sounds very good.
But Zhang Lan was still a little worried and said: "It is said that both Maoyan and Taopiaopiao suffered serious losses, and the fight was fierce. Neither party was willing to stop ticket purchase subsidies."
Zhang Yida nodded, "You are right, but if we want to carry out ecological layout, we have to fight for it.
After the platform is developed, we can also get involved in film and television distribution and other related businesses."
Zhang Lan nodded. Compared with the long-term plan, a little loss is nothing.
"Mr. Zhang, what other arrangements are there? Have you told them all?"
Zhang Lan was too lazy to ask questions one by one. She wanted to hear Zhonghe's big entertainment plan in one go.
"Novel, comics, games, e-sports..."
Zhang Yida also simply explained all the follow-up directions.
Zhang Lan nodded while listening, and occasionally put forward some of his own opinions.
Zhang Yida said with a smile: "Now you understand, the content business group is our interactive entertainment business group.
This is a very important core for the group.
It is precisely because the task is important that I choose to leave it to you. Don’t let me down."
While Zhang Lan felt that the task was heavy, she also felt that Mr. Zhang valued and trusted her.
She said with joy on her face: "Mr. Zhang, I will never let you down."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang..."
Zhang Lan added: "In the entertainment sector, in addition to artist management and theater chains, we have also planned other businesses. What should we do with these two areas?"
Zhang Yida thought for a while and said: "The artist management business is not easy, and celebrities often fall out with the company.
We can just choose to invest in one company, there is no need to get involved too deeply.
As for theater chains, this thing is not suitable for Internet companies!"
"Who is suitable to play? A commercial real estate company?"
Zhang Yida nodded and smiled, "Yes, this is suitable for "landlords" to play. I haven't seen Shi Cong for a long time. Let me ask him to talk about cooperation with Wanda Cinemas!
By the way, we will also finalize the e-sports cooperation.”
…
Outside the Sanlitun bar, luxury cars are everywhere.
An inconspicuous Bentley stopped slowly, Qian Li opened the door, and Zhang Yida walked out of the car.
After straightening his clothes, Zhang Yida looked at the billboard "Ohird" standing above his head.
Yes, this is it. This is where classmate Shi Cong asked him to meet.
He originally asked Shi Cong to move to another place, but Shi Cong refused and insisted on staying here.
Zhang Yida had no choice but to give up! After all, Si Cong's temper made his own company scold him.
Several bodyguards behind him also parked their cars and walked silently behind Zhang Yida.
The waiter standing at the door of the bar seemed to recognize Zhang Yida and greeted him warmly.
"Please lead me down the road. Wang Shicong and I have made an appointment."
The waiter replied "Okay" and respectfully led the way. Zhang Yida followed him, followed by four bodyguards.
Several bodyguards protected Zhang Yida tightly, walked through the aisle, and came to the torn K1 card table.
"Hey, Mr. Da, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come."
Si Cong was lying on the sofa, surrounded by a group of Internet celebrity beauties in cool clothes.
He looked at Zhang Yida with a half-smile, and made a joke.
The two don't meet much offline. They occasionally interact on Weibo or chat on WeChat.
More than a dozen Internet celebrities also turned their attention to Zhang Yida, either surprised or curious.
Zhang Yida found an empty seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "You can still enjoy life by tearing green onions!"
Wang Sicong said to the Internet celebrity beauties on his left and right, "I won't pour wine for Mr. Zhang yet."
A smart girl quickly got up and went to pour wine for Zhang Yida.
The girls who moved slowly could only secretly regret in their hearts that they had missed such a good opportunity.
The girl poured the wine for Zhang Yida and then sat down next to Zhang Yida.
Zhang Yida looked around a few times with his peripheral vision and found that many people were taking photos.
Qian Li saw this and asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you want me to come over..."
"It's okay. I didn't do anything. Let them take pictures."
Zhang Yida estimates that he will definitely be in the tabloids tomorrow.
But it doesn't matter. It's better to let yourself be free while you are alive.
He had already informed Zhao Erya about going to the bar and obtained approval.
After Zhang Yida and Shi Cong drank a few glasses of wine, the latter suddenly said: "That chicken game is pretty good. When are you going to serve overseas?"
"Soon." Zhang Yida replied casually.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has exploded all over the world, and Penguin and NetEase have asked about agents several times.
But he didn't let go. On the one hand, he was not satisfied with the quotation, and on the other hand, he was considering whether to do it himself.
He has done enough actions during this period, if he adds another game.
Will Xiao Ma be so anxious that he will jump over the wall and be embarrassed?
He decided to wait and see Penguin's reaction.
"Do it yourself, or give it to the penguin?"
Shi Cong took a bite of the fruit fed by the internet celebrity girl next to him and muttered a question.
Zhang Yida did not answer this question, but asked about Panda TV.
"It's not the same as before. If you can't turn it on, just turn it off."
Zhang Yida smiled, he was really free and easy!
None of the dozen or so internet celebrities present said anything and listened silently to the conversation between the two.
This kind of occasion is not suitable for talking about cooperation, so Zhang Yida said again: "After drinking, how about making some skewers on the roadside later?"
"I like skewers the most. Remember to order more skewers later."
Wang Sicong also understood what Zhang Yida meant, which was to ask him to change places to discuss matters.
"Don't just talk, come on, have a drink!"
Shi Cong abandoned the group of warblers, sat down next to Zhang Yida, and started chatting about live broadcasts and e-sports.
Wang Sicong's e-sports career is still going very well, and Zhang Yida also knows something about it.
If you want to do e-sports, if you cooperate with him, you will definitely achieve good results.
Penguin has also been laying out its plans in this area, covering everything from upstream game manufacturer IPs, to midstream clubs and event companies, to downstream live broadcast platforms and various offline channels.
The reason why Wang Sicong lost in his previous life was because he didn't have enough cards in his hand.
No matter how strong Wanda is, it is not stronger than the Internet.
Wang Shicong’s Pulse Capital can also be regarded as a family office.
It has invested in many game manufacturers, such as Forgame Holdings, LeDou Games, and Hero Interactive Entertainment, but unfortunately they are all small companies and have not produced any big IP.
The mid-stream clubs are doing well, but the downstream Panda TV entered the game too late and its capital is not strong enough.
If Lao Wang All In, maybe he could be saved. But Lao Wang himself also encountered a lot of troubles.
So Sha Cong had to face many opponents alone. The e-sports soil that was cultivated eventually became cheaper than Penguin.
Zhang Yida has many good cards that Wang Shicong envies, including short videos, live broadcasts, and even the popular game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
After staying in the bar for two hours, Zhang Yida and Wang Sicong left together.
At a skewers shop on the roadside, drinking beer and eating skewers, we started chatting about serious matters.
"Do you want to cooperate with Wanda Cinemas?"
After listening to Zhang Yida's simple words, Wang Sicong quickly understood his intention.
"Yes, Zhonghe Film Industry will next invest in film and television, and will also gradually involve distribution business."
Wang Sicong nodded, "It's all a trivial matter. I'll just tell the old man later."
The old man and you are also from the same hometown, so we should be able to sell this face."
With the first goal achieved, Zhang Yida started talking about e-sports again.
After Wang Sicong listened, he said seriously: "When you enter e-sports, you need to lay out the entire industry chain. I'm afraid Penguin will never finish with you!"
Zhang Yida said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Ma is quite easy to talk to and quite generous, haha!"
Wang Sicong ate two bunches of kidneys, his mouth was full of oil. He glanced at Zhang Yida and said, "Easy to talk to and generous, haha!
But for your courage, I give you a toast. In China, Zhang Yida is the only one who dares to confront Jack Ma and then Bonima."
Look, how nice it sounds.
If someone said that Wang Sicong couldn't speak again, Zhang Yida would be the first to refuse.
Zhang Yida and Wang Shicong clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one breath.
Wang Sicong sighed, "To be honest, even if the two of us work together, we are only 30 to 40 percent sure of winning against Penguin."
Zhang Yida nodded, this is true. Penguin has long been a dominant player in the gaming field, and only NetEase can compare with it in China.
Penguin has also invested in a number of well-known foreign game studios, hoping to monopolize the agency rights for high-quality games from upstream.
To break this situation, relying solely on a blue hole would be somewhat powerless.
And currently there is only one PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds game in Blue Hole, and I don’t know where the next high-quality product will be.
Zhang Yida is actually a little hesitant. He and Penguin are falling out at this stage, so the timing is still a bit inappropriate.
Seeing Zhang Yida's confusion, Wang Shicong smiled and said, "Why don't you admit your mistake to the boss and apologize."
