China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 375: We still need to give priority to encouragement to DreamWorks

"Blue Ocean Cinema Line?"

"Blue Ocean Cinemas has been the fastest-expanding cinema chain in the past two years. It also has an urgent need for funds, and the returns it gives us are better than those of China United."

Xu Wenshen was so anxious to summon Chen Jingxing back because the investment documents for the theater chain required Chen Jingxing's nod and signature.

"The foundation of DreamWorks is too weak. If things go on like this, until the halo fades in the eyes of investors, the current stock price will not be able to sustain it for too long." Xu Wenshen has a strong sense of crisis.

Chen Jingxing nodded in approval of President Xu's "threatening words in the prosperous times".

DreamWorks' current market value ranks third among all listed film and television companies in China, second only to Beijing Film and China Film, both of which are listed on A-shares. Beijing Film's market value is currently as high as 80 billion.

DreamWorks' current market value of nearly 50 billion is really due to last year's brilliant record, the performance of this year's Spring Festival, and Chen Jingxing's Oscar for Best Director.

In a sense, it is a star stock.

If we compare it with Hollywood film and television companies, the bubble is as big as the sky.

Film and television companies and Internet companies are not the same concept. Internet companies look at the future and look forward to the future.

Devote yourself wholeheartedly to the warmth and happiness of a family of three.

Chen Jingxing was a little puzzled by Xu Wenshen's urgency, but what he didn't know was that Xu Wenshen had been off guard by the fluctuations in stock prices in the past few days.

After the equity swap, DreamWorks' shares in Mexico have exceeded 76%. Even if Mexico is separated from DreamWorks and listed separately in the future, DreamWorks' absolute control over Mexico can be guaranteed.

Film and television companies only focus on the present and there is no future to speak of. If you do well at the box office this year, you may be in trouble next year. Potential is a bubble in the film and television industry.

In addition, all Chen Jingxing can do is create a few more IPs and raise a few golden hens.

Xu Wenshen couldn't wait any longer.

No wonder there are some mysterious operations by some film and television companies in the past life that netizens and audiences can’t understand.

I can't give too much spoilers, but I can say that "Edge of Tomorrow" is really similar to "Source Code", but it is different from "Source Code", it is a completely advanced version..."

While Chen Jingxing was wondering about DreamWorks' sudden improvement in work efficiency, he took out his mobile phone and searched for the three words "DreamWorks" by mistake. Sure enough, the homepage was the stock price.

After falling for several days, it suddenly rose by more than 5% today. The stock price rose from 32.5 to 34.2, and the market value returned to 50 billion, an increase of 2.6 billion.

This "listing syndrome" of worrying about gains and losses due to daily fluctuations in stock prices will obviously take a long time to digest.

Not to mention Chen Jingxing dealing with "listing syndrome" in the office.

DreamWorks' machines also started turning at an unprecedented speed, and negotiations with theaters were implemented at an unprecedented speed.

"Unexpected! Unexpected! DreamWorks once again successfully carried out the 'trailer scam'. After watching the trailer before, I thought it was an action-packed, special effects-driven science fiction blockbuster about alien invasion. Such a theme

It is indeed rare in domestic movies, but the story of the movie really exceeded my expectations!

God knows he originally wanted to search for "Edge of Tomorrow" and wanted to see the feedback and evaluation of the movie on the Internet...

Therefore, Xu Wenshen’s decision to invest in theaters and expand the business scope of DreamWorks received positive response and support from all senior executives.

Xu Wenshen believes that this is far from enough. The first thing he focuses on is the theater chain. This asset-heavy industry has a large demand for funds, and due to the current period of rapid expansion, there is a large funding gap. For DreamWorks, it is an entry point.

The resistance is relatively low.

"To be honest, judging from the trailer, "Uncensored" is more interesting than "Edge of Tomorrow." DreamWorks, aren't you very good at playing trailers? Just give me this one??

As well as observing and tossing about my daughter’s career.

After all, the stock price alone has risen by 2.6 billion today, and it is still rising as he speaks...

Chen Jingxing was actually more distressed than Xu Wenshen and the others. After all, he had the largest number of shares. Starting from the next day, from the opening of the market in the morning to the close of the market in the afternoon, his paper wealth could lose hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.

The green lines of Hong Kong stocks look fresh and pleasant.

As DreamWorks executives, not only Xu Wenshen, many people have equity incentives, and even several founders and executives of Mo hold equity in DreamWorks.

This is not only true for the big screen, streaming media for small screens is also growing very fast, and copyright prices are rising even more fiercely than box office.

Especially on the first day of listing, the company made great progress, with a 90% increase compared to the issue price. Xu Wenshen and other senior executives were so excited when they saw their net worth. They were heartbroken when the stock price started to drop in the following days.

.

The listing of DreamWorks made senior executives like Xu Wenshen unable to control their emotions. Even if they knew it was paper wealth, the fluctuations in paper wealth would still make people feel anxious.

In the past, DreamWorks' executives basically followed Chen Jingxing's lead. Firstly, they did not make mistakes by following Chen Jingxing. Secondly, they lacked some "ownership spirit".

In order to get rid of the "exciting" after-effects of listing, Chen Jingxing did not go online for several days, and tried not to watch TV or receive any information related to DreamWorks' listing.

Now that it is listed and you have money, it is the best time to enter the market.

So exciting!

This kind of mentality of being hung up on the stock price cannot be adjusted in a day or two. It takes time to smooth out and dilute.

Chen Jingxing has never had this kind of experience in his life.

Who made his daughter look so cute? He couldn't control his hands.

In this way, even if you are unlucky this year and fail to find gold, you can still make money by selling water and maintain the company's revenue and even profits.

It can be seen that money can really make trouble, especially lost money.

Chen Jingxing looked up at Xu Wenshen's baffled eyes and sighed.

If the movie makes money, they can also get bonuses and red envelopes. Even if the movie loses money, the responsibility belongs to the big boss, and they should get a fair share of their salary, which is a reward-based work incentive.

Let me spend money on "The Lost World" for nothing! It's really disappointing. After all, Warner is also one of the two giants in Hollywood. It invested nearly 200 million US dollars and showed me this?

You must know that a small fluctuation in the stock price can cause the expansion or contraction of paper wealth by millions and tens of millions, which is more exciting than gambling.

The premieres of "Edge of Tomorrow" and several other May Day movies have sparked discussion online.

"Director Guo Fan has become more and more comfortable in handling this kind of heavy industry movie. The war scenes are really great, the plot is exciting and brain-burning, but it doesn't look tiring, but relaxed. The first half of the movie is really humorous. This is DreamWorks

Something that hasn’t been seen in previous movies..."

Under such optimistic market expectations, film and television companies including DreamWorks have also received half the treatment of Internet companies. I may not necessarily believe that you have stable creative and output capabilities, but I believe in the development prospects of the Chinese film market.

bright.

Of the six major studios in China, only DreamWorks has no investment in theaters.

Xu Wenshen smiled and seemed to have been prepared: "The main reason is that the reputation of "Edge of Tomorrow" has come out, and the box office of the prime show has also exceeded previous expectations. Today's premiere box office may exceed 110 million. After all, it is a working day, so

The box office performance was higher than expected.

However, the equity in the hands of Xu Sheng and others is that DreamWorks signed an equity swap agreement with several founders of Mexico before it went public. One is to allow them to enjoy the dividends of DreamWorks' listing, and the other is to expand DreamWorks' exposure to Mexico.

Take control.

In a popular sense, the market value of domestic film and television companies is so high mainly because they have reaped market dividends. Investors and investment institutions holding film and television concept stocks may not necessarily be optimistic about your company. What they are optimistic about is the market, and they are betting on the ability of your company.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

Or has DreamWorks raised my threshold for appreciating science fiction movies? From now on, science fiction movies will only recognize DreamWorks, so Warner should continue to make your superhero movies."

"Oh, 110 million..." After hearing Xu Wenshen's "report", Chen Jingxing's heart didn't even move at all.

"I have long hoped for more movies like "Source Code". It's strange. I think the idea of ​​"Source Code" is really great, but DreamWorks has been stuck on "The Signal" since then and put the Walkie-Talkie TV

It’s fun to play, but it just refuses to develop the rollback setting of “Source Code”.

It's just that China's film and television companies have caught up with the good times. The film market is not only huge, but also growing at a rapid rate. The ceiling can't even be seen for a while. Many people in the industry believe that the size of China's film market will be 100 billion or 200 billion in the future.

It's all possible.

He relies on his daughter and wife to resolve the "listing syndrome", while senior executives such as Xu Wenshen rely on work to relieve it, or to ensure that the stock price rises as much as possible and does not fall.

If DreamWorks wants to maintain its current "prosperity and wealth", it must expand to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and even diversify its development, increase the proportion of revenue from "selling water to gold diggers" and reduce the proportion of revenue from "gold diggers".

In front of the stock market, the box office of a movie is nothing...

"Damn it! Did it rise so much today?"

Tomorrow's pre-sales will also increase significantly. According to the estimated box office of 1.5 billion, there is no problem, and it has the potential to hit 2 billion, so the market has responded."

DreamWorks invested in Station C, and even has Mo, the country's number one special effects and animation studio, as two of DreamWorks' most attractive assets in the eyes of institutional investors.

Sure enough, going public is poison.

As a result, when the setting of "Tomorrow" came out, I just screamed! I felt moved that I would never forget it, and although the concept was similar to "Source Code", it was even more exciting, far beyond my expectations!"

But it's different now. When the stock price falls, it's their paper wealth that falls. This is a penalty added to the reward.

"Originally I wanted to give it four stars, but after much deliberation I decided to add one star. How can I put it, maybe the appetite for "The Matrix" was too high, but the creative implementation of "Edge of Tomorrow" is really good, and the story is also very full.

, it doesn’t lower my intelligence, and it doesn’t have any peeing spots, but it just feels quite satisfactory and doesn’t make me particularly surprised.

However, I still deeply reflected that movies like "The Matrix" cannot be used as a reference, and it is somewhat unfair to "Tomorrow".

Judging from the completion of various aspects such as special effects, script, action scenes, etc., this is indeed a science fiction blockbuster with no shortcomings. If you put it to other domestic companies and teams, they would probably not be able to make it even if they beat their shit.

Alas, I'm thinking of "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Journey to the West" released during the Spring Festival. Nowadays, domestic movies are simply a meal of chocolate and a meal of shit. Who can sustain this? For companies like DreamWorks, we still need to give priority to encouragement.
