China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 567 "Suspect Tracking III" is about to be traded with insider

"...The main reason is that the film market has bid farewell to the era of rapid growth. The box office in the first half of this year was basically the same as last year, with a total of 31.9 billion yuan, and even a few hundred million yuan. There is no hope for the box office of 100 billion yuan, and the capital will not withdraw.

?

I devote myself to the development of domestic films, but in the end it is my fault?"

Listening to Director Chen Da’s angry complaint, Zhang Jingyan said: “Okay, don’t behave like a cheap person. The firmness of your DreamWorks stocks is even jealous. Can you not let others say it is possible? Can you block others

Your mouth? You guys are bad, that's all, it's all my fault."

Chen Jingxing snorted: "Then let them enjoy their mouths."

Capital retreat mainly broke out in the second half of last year. Almost all film and television companies, whose valuations were not listed, fell sharply, and those who fell from hundreds of millions of dollars were worthless.

If listed, the stock discount is light. The other five major studios are listed companies, and the market value drops range from 40% to 60%.

The spectacularity is enough to flatten the bulging potato chips, and the air is gone.

But there is no one who is alone, DreamWorks is a typical example.

As the only one listed in the six major islands, although it also fell a lot at the beginning, from 140 billion to 110 billion, as "Matrix III" was hit globally at the end of the year, the stock price began to stop falling and rebound again.

Following the Spring Festival, "Interstellar" and "Mind Agents" won the third place in the championship, and even broke the box office record of "Wolf Tooth II", and its market value also directly broke through the 150 billion Hong Kong dollar mark.

There is no way. Although capital is ebbing, calm non-hot money will prefer firm and high-quality companies.

Of course, Zhang Jingyan did this not selflessly. She worked hard for the company. There may be one thing, but it was mainly out of her own interests.

This is also the reason why capital quickly assembles to DreamWorks.

Reality is better than humans now, DreamWorks is now investing in movies, and the same is true for TV series.

In this world, domestic films are no shortage of industrial blockbusters, and new criticisms have emerged.

"What about "The Past of Earth: Overture"? Isn't it really sold?"

The number of member subscriptions of Huanshi.com has not only stopped growing since the first quarter, but also has a downward trend, which is also the reason why its stock price has been falling continuously in recent months.

Of course, Zhang Jingyan, who was one of the first to promote this transaction, was under a lot of pressure.

The high-scoring movies and dramas in recent years are basically divided into two parts: DreamWorks and Korean films and TV shows. The more extreme movie fans on both sides will naturally collide and stumble with opinions.

Especially now, several major websites, including C website, are striving for the younger generation, and even the three groups of young users born in the 1995s, 2000s, and 2005s.

Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks fans naturally think that your movie is worthy of being the same as "Central of Earth", "Marine" and "Matrix"?

Korean fans also think that you just flatter and only know how to shoot the main theme. Most movies with happy endings are worthy of being so profound, so dark, so human, and so critically important great realist works?

There are actually quite a lot of Korean movie fans in China, and they are also very active online.

This is the power to build a successful IP.

In addition to testing whether Chen Jingxing's next movie "The Past of Earth" can squeeze out investment share, Zhang Jingyan also confirmed the production progress of the two dramas "Elysium" and "Dynasty" with Chen Jingxing.

After the Spring Festival, the stock price fell again, especially after the screening of "Sky Eagle Warrior", it was revealed that the public opinion that the adaptation failed, and the stock price plummeted within a few days, almost falling back to before the Spring Festival. However, with "Sky Eagle Warrior"

The box office explosion after the release, and the capital market that changed its course once again brought DreamWorks back its market value of HK$150 billion.

Chen Jingxing did not come forward to respond to the storm. He was not even angry, but was a little ridiculous.

In order to save the stock price and increase the market value, Fantasy Network also bought the exclusive copyright of the three TV series "Dreamworks" with great courage.

If you can really shoot it, the box office will not be low. Isn’t "The God of Medicine" also worth 3 billion? "Matrix II" did not affect others becoming a dark horse in the box office?

Some fans of Chen Jingxing also dug out the box office "My Robot Girlfriend", which was recently released at the same time as "Sky Eagle Warrior", was produced by Jianghe Pictures.

Even though DreamWorks did not reveal how many films it would be filmed in the future, most people can be sure that this series can still be filmed at least three or four more.

Although Fantasy Network expects the procurement copyright fee to exceed 24 billion this year, it is not easy to withdraw 1 billion from it. After all, each carrot is one pit, and it also involves the fat sharing activities of many executives and producers.

Fantasy World.com is interested, and coupled with the lobbying of his old friend Zhang Jingyan, Chen Jingxing also agreed.

"Sister Zhang, let me tell you the truth. This drama involves my subsequent film plan, and I really can't sell exclusive copyrights."

However, Chen Jingxing has never liked to sell exclusive copyrights before, and only the exclusive copyright of "Black Mirror II" was bundled with "The Birth of the Director" and sold to Fantasy World.com.

There is no difference between DreamWorks and Hollywood, which once bombarded the Chinese market with blockbusters. Let’s see what movies are being made next door in South Korea?

These remarks really have some markets, and many movie fans or literary youths have a lot of resonance. After all, they are not very interested in special effects blockbusters, and usually like Korean realistic and highly critical works.

It can be said that if you only look at the secondary market, it will be even more thrilling than the reputation and box office trend of "Sky Eagle Warrior". This is also the reason why Chen Jingxing is gradually feeling less about the market value. The capital market is really outrageous and too ridiculous.

The result of the three-network broadcast is that the member conversion effect has been diluted, and C stations that have greater stickiness to young people benefit the most. Penguin Video is tied up with its parent company to sell members everywhere, with second benefit, and Fantasy Network benefiting the least.

In particular, it also combines the popular "Sky Eagle Warrior" and says that DreamWorks produces such brainless movies, which use uncontrollable special effects to distort the audience's aesthetic needs for the movie. In the long run, the audience will not buy it without special effects.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of high-quality industrial blockbusters, and many movie fans and literary youths are even more eager for Korean-style movies.

This wave of debate then evolved into the Nth "Dream Korea War" in some niche forums. Of course, as usual, supporters of DreamWorks won a great victory and gained an absolute advantage.

In addition, the film market has been criticized for its increasingly oligopolitical phenomenon, winners take all, the gap between the rich and the poor widens, and becoming more and more singular.

The lock-in period of equity obtained by Zhang Jingyan as vice president ended at the beginning of the year, but the stock price fell into a dog.

Unexpectedly, one day, China will have such a debate.

In this plane, the rise of DreamWorks and the rise of the Korean film and television industry are synchronized.

Zhang Jingyan gave him a blank look. After all, the ups and downs of the traffic economy in recent years are both witnesses and participants, and there have been many lessons.

DreamWorks' special effects industrial blockbusters seriously squeeze the small and medium-sized films of comedy, love, realism and literary elements, which are one of the reasons for the industry's cold winter.

"Suspect Tracking III", "Elysia" and "Dynasties" are really more investment than the other, and the production cost of the collection is tens of millions or even higher.

In the past life, domestic film science fiction blockbusters, special effects blockbusters started late, but everyone hoped that more good industrial movies would appear in domestic films.

"Sky Eagle Warrior" is not only about current profits, but also about imagination space in the next few years. Although the first part consumed four apostles, who made "Sky Eagle Warrior" more apostles?

In the past life, China was a high-quality industrial blockbuster and high-quality small and medium-cost film, especially realist films, so the group of Hakka and Hakka and South Korea combined to jointly criticize domestic films.

Industrial blockbusters have squeezed the space for other types of small and medium-sized films, and are worried about the oligopolisization of the domestic film market.

Therefore, Huanshi.com also plans to buy exclusive copyrights directly. Not only is it worth it or not, it can really make the number of member subscriptions better in the short-term financial report, and it will also have a huge impact on the stock price.

Especially at DreamWorks, he began to produce main theme movies, including "Mekong", "Wolf Tooth II" and "Red Sea", as well as "Georgetic" and "Martian Rescue".

The upward momentum has not even stopped. After all, the biggest concern of capital for film and television companies is the instability of the future imagination space.

After all, it is not DreamWorks that will not allow you to make diversified small and medium-sized films, not allow you to make realistic themes, and not allow you to make large-scale works that criticize the state, society, and government.

Even if you don’t watch the so-called “brainless” special effects blockbuster like “Sky Eagle Warrior”, you won’t watch your bad movie?

I am not good at scolding my opponent for being too strong and shameless.

This is also the butterfly effect caused by Chen Jingxing's wings.

This confrontation mixed with a certain ideological confrontation has also intensified the conflict between the two groups of fans.

This kind of criticism actually exists in Hollywood and has always existed, otherwise there would be no independent film movement.

The prices of exclusive copyrights and non-exclusive copyrights are very different, so Chen Jingxing's original insistence has also begun to loosen.

Of course, the audience who support DreamWorks and don’t like Korean movies to be praised too much. After all, Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks are all Chinese, Chinese companies, and movies are also domestic movies.

Objectively speaking, DreamWorks rarely shoot such realistic themes that deeply reflect human nature, and only one movie "The Ninth District" is involved.

The film and television dramas that both parties mocked each other were one star out of thin air on Douban.

I visited DreamWorks every few days.

"...Your fans are still very powerful in combat."

However, the Douban scores of Korean movies have added another wave of one-star reviews, and the scores have fallen to varying degrees.

In this way, 960 million is enough to cover the production cost of the three dramas, and even make profits, so Netflix is ​​making pure profits.

Although DreamWorks movies have also experienced one-star ratings, they have been less affected because of the large number of ratings.

With the annual copyright purchase amount of tens of billions of dollars, those who work on Huanshi.com can get three feet of oil.

"Suspect Tracking III", "Elysium" and "Dynasties" packed 960 million yuan.

DreamWorks dramas are very attractive to the conversion of members of young generations.

"Okay, stop being poor, "Suspect Tracking III" is about to be launched, "Elysium" and "Dynasties" are about to be rushed. Now you are a towering tree, and we can turn things around this year by relying on your Dream Factory

.”

Chen Jingxing said modestly: "How many fans are there? It's just a normal passerby audience. Movies are driven by passers-by, and fans can support them? Mr. Zhang should have quite some experience in recent years."

So by the end of July, "Sky Eagle Warrior" was still active in media and the Internet discussions. At the China Film and Television Capital Summit held in Haikou, Jianghe CEO Tian Shenxuan talked about the dismal film and television industry in the past year.

The investment and financing situation claims that the cold winter in the film and television industry in China has arrived.

For Fantasy, although DreamWorks’ dramas are not in line with the audience, they have always been very effective for member conversion.

Of course, Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks also have fans and supporters, and these voices will basically be criticized and ridiculed as soon as they appear.

It would be strange if it doesn't attract jealousy.

Is it your turn to say oligopolisization or singularization?

Then public opinion began to ferment, and the blame for DreamWorks's as capital tide receded gradually changed from a boasting joke to a real accusation.

"Don't worry, DreamWorks' production must be a fine product. Can I still smash my own signature? When did I make bad movies and dramas?"

Zhang Jingyan was like robbing food directly from others. Even if she was the vice president, she had made great efforts to settle the internal situation.

Chen Jingxing only knows how to play with skills, narrative structure and audio-visual wonders, and at most it rises to a philosophy of grand themes. He dares not touch the bloody things in reality, has no criticism and reflection, and can only be considered a good commercial film, and can change the country.

The movie is incomparable.

The film market is becoming more and more oligopolistic. More than 200 movies were released in the first half of the year, with a total box office of 32 billion yuan. Among them, three or four blockbusters led by DreamWorks account for one-third of them. The domestic film market is not diversified.

Instead, it is becoming more and more singular.

In particular, DreamWorks has always maintained abundant cash flow and is very restrained in investment. It stands out at a glance compared to other companies that like to play capital games and have a lot of debt when making a little money.

However, my peers don’t think so. After all, the market value of the other five film and television giants is almost the same as DreamWorks.

There are two industrial blockbuster series of movies, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Eagle Warrior", DreamWorks can't lose even if they are old.

It is not cost-effective to sell shares at this time, so of course she wants to raise the stock price and then cash out.

960 million yuan spent on the company. If the member subscription data can be significantly reversed in the short term, the stock price can rise and then sell it to make your own money. Only such a cost-effective thing will Zhang Jingyan take risks to promote it.

As for whether 960 million yuan can recover costs from member subscription data growth and advertising revenue at that time, it is actually not very important.

Anyway, Fantasy Network has been losing money for several years, so what if it continues to lose money?

Of course, Chen Jingxing is also a beneficiary. He also bought some Huanshiwang stocks on dips under Zhang Jingyan's reminder, and waited for the third-quarter financial report to be released and sold for a wave to make some pocket money.
