Shenhao who plays around the world

Chapter 210 Farewell to the big screen

With a 5% profit margin, only 25% will be given to Wang Jinghua and the other producers, which is equivalent to four times the cost to be able to recover the capital.

Gee, it seems that the number one agent in Mainland China dotes on her precious son!

Wang Jinghua offered 5% of her share to seduce Lin Shen to increase her share of their movie, which was already a cut.

She was even prepared for the fact that other investors disagreed, and even if she spent her own money, she still wanted to make her son's movie a success.

Partners Huang Bo, Yan Ni, and Beijing-based director Guan Hu are on hand.

As long as the reputation is good, she will work a little harder.

I dare not say that the Golden Horse Best Actor and the Best Actor at the College Student Film Festival are still confident.

By then, who would dare to say that her son is a parallel import movie star?

Lin Shen nodded slightly and looked at this legendary number one agent in the Mainland with admiration.

Frankly speaking, without much grudge, it would be difficult for him to refuse such an offer.

"Sister Hua, it's not about how much you want to share. I value the quality of the work more. As long as the quality of the movie is online, even if you don't give us any rebates, we will still increase the number of films."

Not only Dong Zizhang, but Lin Shen didn't have a good impression either.

Guan Hu, the current leading director in Beijing circles, is even more looked down upon by Lin Shen.

Just relying on some achievements, you will commit suicide in various ways.

Beijing circle?

Already lonely.

Wang Jinghua was stunned. She never expected that Director Lin would be so unreasonable.

But people looked down upon them and the little benefit they ceded was only a few million.

For Lin Shen, the mansion given to Sun Yi was more than 100 million.

The conditions given by Wang Jinghua were not enough to make Lin Shen's heart sway.

If there is nothing to talk about, they will naturally break up unhappy.

In order not to completely break her face, Wang Jinghua managed to maintain her grace.

Dong Zishan, on the other hand, could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

I saw my former wife now nestled in the arms of another man.

The man's possessiveness almost made him lose his mind several times.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, Wang Jinghua always woke him up in time and prevented him from doing anything stupid.

After being sent out of the office by his secretary, Dong Zijin kicked the curb several times angrily until he left Tangcheng Building.

"Mom, they've gone too far."

Dong Zitian thought about the unsightly scene he saw when he entered the office, and was filled with anger and had nowhere to express his feelings.

"That's alright. You don't play much anymore?"

Wang Jinghua ignored Dong Zishan, but was a little worried about whether she would lose too much on this investment.

"Well...you can't blame me, they posted it themselves."

Dong Zishan muttered a few words and said no more.

"It's okay now. After all, the film schedules given to us by the leading theater chains are quite reasonable. What I'm worried about is that we will be targeted all the time in the future, which will make life difficult."

Wang Jinghua felt despair when she thought about Guanhai Group's financial resources.

If Xingyi Cinemas has 1,500 cinemas, it will be much stronger than Wanda Cinemas.

By then, Xingyi Cinemas will occupy 35% of the market share, becoming the well-deserved leader among cinemas.

Let me ask, which movie can still make a profit even if it loses 35% of its ticket sales?

A movie like this must be low-budget.

As long as it is a blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million, it will not be able to withstand such a devastating blow.

What's even more egregious is that this doesn't allow us to sue Xingyi Cinema for monopoly. It doesn't even have a market share of more than half, so what kind of monopoly is it?

Even Wanda cannot compete with Xingyi Cinemas in competing for high-quality commercial projects.

The reason is very simple, Xingyi Cinema and Huoshe are highly tied together.

If you want Huoshe to move in and boost the mall's popularity, you must leave the planned theater location to Xingyi Cinema.

Huoshe’s popularity has already been recognized and sought after by the market.

If a shopping mall wants to make money, it naturally needs to have customer flow.

No shopping mall can ignore the customer flow driven by Huoshe.

Under the same circumstances, Natural Star Cinema is more competitive.

When opening a cinema, regardless of the preliminary site selection and design, the entire construction period only takes three and a half months before it can be officially opened.

In other words, as long as you have money, it won't be a problem to open 2,000 or 3,000 movie theaters.

But the domestic box office ceiling is only 80 billion.

The fare is so expensive that it kills people.

Unless it is a blockbuster movie or a European and American blockbuster, it is difficult to cause a movie-watching frenzy.

…

Seeing Wang Jinghua and her son leaving in dejection, Sun Yi felt happy.

She mocked Dong Zi's short tendons, but she was just telling the truth.

These past few days have exhausted her.

Fortunately, Lin Shen will return to Shanghai tomorrow, so she can finally have a few days to rest and take good care of her body.

However, many marketing accounts appeared that night, using the title of executive surnamed L, implicitly pointing out that Sun Yi was close to a powerful senior executive.

Sun Yi didn't take it seriously either.

Forestry Pictures is a big company, and the public relations department is not a freeloader.

We immediately clarified it to the outside world and directly sued several marketing accounts that spread rumors.

Several marketing accounts that were originally used to collect money for services were directly blocked on Weibo, making me want to cry without tears.

You know, these accounts have been in operation for at least several years.

Being banned for two or three hundred thousand dollars is not worth it.

When Dong Zitian received the news, he was extremely angry again.

Throw out millions and make a little splash.

There was no way, he couldn't just mention Sun Yi and Lin Shen by name, right?

Unless he has solid evidence, netizens will not believe him.

Although he witnessed it with his own eyes, mobile phones and other electronic devices were confiscated before entering the office, making it difficult to record a sound.

Xingyi Cinema Line could not reach an agreement on arranging the film, so Wang Jinghua had to pay out of her own pocket to make up for the losses of other investors.

But I never expected it.

On the day of the film's premiere, the internet was flooded with negative information about director Guan Hu.

In addition, Dong Zishan is not clean either.

The combination of the two directly led to the dismal box office performance on the first day.

There is no doubt that this movie created for Dong Zitian was a direct loss.

Let alone making money, it is difficult to maintain capital.

The word-of-mouth rating plummeted from 6 points at the release to less than 5 points.

A series of blows almost made Wang Jinghua faint.

Including investment and subsidies to other investors, Wang Jinghua lost 100 million in this movie!

Despite all these years, she is quite majestic.

But in the final analysis, she is just an agent.

Many celebrities have long established their own businesses and established personal studios.

Her prestige also comes from the stars under her hands.

Most of her resources and connections were used to support Dong Zizhang.

Now that the box office is sluggish, the huge investment will obviously be wasted.

Wang Jinghua cares more about her son's future than investment losses.

As the male protagonist, Dong Zishan failed to support the box office. If he wants to receive a good movie in the future, his hope will be even slimmer.

Even whether I can continue to be involved in the film industry in the future is a question.

In the small screen circle, Aiyouteng, as a rival of Lemon Films, will definitely not reject Dong Zishan.

But forget about the big screen in the future.

…

Not long ago, Guanhai Group obtained an offshore syndicated loan of up to US$10 billion.

Among them, 5 billion US dollars are term loans, and the principal will be repaid in one lump sum after 5 years.

The other US$5 billion is a revolving credit facility.

Guanhai Group itself has very abundant cash flow.

With two major businesses, Happy Planet is aggressively seizing the advertising market share that originally belonged to Douyin, while Artistry is shunning other brands in the field of daily chemicals.

Precisely because of the abundant cash flow, it is easier to win the favor of these banks and financial institutions.

Companies with stable repayment capabilities such as Guanhai Group are more popular with them.

Originally, Guanhai Group only wanted to raise a loan of US$7 billion, but they couldn't stand it. Having more money is a good thing. In the end, they actually obtained a loan line of US$10 billion.

After the funds were obtained, US$4 billion was allocated to Tangcheng Group to complete subsequent investment and construction of theaters.

Originally, many film and television companies thought that Tangcheng Group's 1,500 movie theaters were just a slogan.

Unexpectedly, he really has this strength.

US$4 billion was invested in the film and television industry, which is definitely the largest investment in history.

In the past six months, Tangcheng Group’s business departments have been unable to stop.

Just the location selection of the movie theater is enough for them to drink a pot.

Thinking of the completion of 1,500 movie theaters, all those working in the film and television industry are secretly frightened.

Is Wanda awesome enough?

There are only 900 movie theaters under its umbrella.

The Tangcheng Group has 1,500 stores, almost twice as many as Wanda.

In the theater chain industry, the most straightforward way to measure market share and voice is to look at the number of theaters it owns.

Wanda was great in the past because of its large number of movie theaters.

Relying on his leading position in the theater chain, no one dared to say anything when Principal Wang criticized the celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Faced with Xingyi Cinema's massive and aggressive advance, Wanda definitely cannot play this way.

They previously raised 4.35 billion to expand the movie theater, which caused great controversy.

This time, Tangcheng Group was even more ruthless. It directly obtained US$4 billion from Guanhai Group and directly threw Wanda away.

There are 1,500 movie theaters, accounting for 35% of the box office, involving artist management, film and television production, and long video platforms.

The outside world's valuation of Tangcheng Group has already skyrocketed to 30 billion US dollars.

Just one lemon movie has made many investment institutions salivate.

In their eyes, Lemon Films has more potential to grow into Netflix than Aiyouteng.

A series of hit film and television dramas have made the outside world more optimistic about it.

Light Lemon Films is valued at US$15 billion, which is not too much.

At its peak, Kiwi Fruit had a market value of US$31.2 billion.

Some time ago, Lemon Video increased its prices again, with a monthly membership fee of 20 yuan.

But this time, Lemon Films officially canceled its advertising business and the interface is cleaner.

The price has been raised twice and has just reached 20 yuan.

And this is after cutting off the advertising business, which really shocked many people.

Thanks to the support from peers, Lemon Films still appears to be very cost-effective due to this wave of price increases.

There are no ads, which is something that no streaming media platform dares to do.

For users, it’s simply not that satisfying.

Advertisements on TV or in variety shows have nothing to do with the platform.

Users of the other three platforms have all declined to a greater or lesser extent, boosting the number of subscription members of Lemon Movies to 115 million.

The losses of other companies are very serious. Kiwi Fruit is almost losing money so much that even mom can’t recognize it, and its market value has shrunk by 90% compared to its peak.

The goose manufacturer has a big business, so it can't afford to lose.

Youku also has the support of Alibaba, but many film and television projects with large investments cannot find suitable actors.

Good actors are all here at Forest Film.

If you can't film your own dramas, how can you think of taking on outside dramas?

The price increase of Lemon Film and Television has also become a hot search topic.

Netizens who signed up for annual membership in advance were immediately overjoyed.

"What a risk. I just signed up for the annual membership one day, and the price went up the next day. I saved 60 yuan at once. Don't be too happy!"

"Gan, there are still 2 days until the membership expires. I wanted to renew before it expired, but now I am losing money. It's so uncomfortable!"

"One thing to say, it's so comfortable without ads. Can the other three companies imitate it? When other platform memberships expire, I will stick to Lemon Films!"

"Brothers, stop talking. I'm already so depressed that I can't eat. Seeing you taking advantage of me is even more uncomfortable than killing me!"

Overall, 90% of the people support the price increase.

In order to fear that the price will continue to rise in the future, many netizens who have not yet expired have renewed their subscriptions in advance, and they still renew for one year.

An old man directly renewed his subscription for 30 years.

To use this old man’s words, if the price rises to 30 yuan in the future, saving 10 yuan every month will save 3,600 yuan in 30 years!

Of course, this is just a joke.

Some people are really not short of money and just have fun.

Some netizens were surprised to find that this man, who has been a member for 30 years, has three extra planets after his name, which is also the basis for distinguishing membership levels.

What everyone is more curious about is, how many years of membership can be opened at most?

Soon, Lemon Films gave the answer.

It can be renewed for up to 50 years.

After renewing for 50 years, a galaxy will appear behind the user's name.

For example, posting barrages will have colorful and cool effects, which are very eye-catching.

Many netizens felt their scalps numb from the show.

If you have been a member for 50 years, you may not want your grandson to inherit their membership.

Calculated based on the current membership price of 240 yuan next year, it will be 12,000 yuan in 50 years!

They are crazy enough to spend so much money.

12,000 is indeed expensive for most people.

But there are always some people who don't regard money as money at all, and there are quite a few people who have signed up for the highest membership.

…

Just as Wang Jinghua expected, many film and television projects do not give them the opportunity to audition at all.

Even if she asked someone to intercede, she was rejected mercilessly by the other party.

As long as you are not stupid, you will not use Dong Zizhang at the risk of blood loss.

By offending Xingyi Cinemas, which will account for 35% of the box office in the future, Dong Zishan is destined to only hang out on the small screen and work with actors in the TV industry that he looked down on before.

Even, he has to accept the position of second and third male supporting roles.

Small screen circles, different film circles.

The requirements for a male protagonist are acting skills second and handsomeness first.

Obviously, Dong Zizhan has nothing to do with Shuai.

It wasn't his mother who supported him, any passerby would be more outstanding than him.

Looking at Sun Yi, in addition to being the heroine of an online drama, she recently partnered with several veteran actors in a self-produced movie produced by Forestry Pictures.

Watching his ex-wife enter the film industry, he was rejected by the film industry.

The reversal of status made Dong Zitian even more decadent.

Wang Jinghua saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.

For the sake of her son, she had to beg her ex-daughter-in-law, whom she had previously despised, to show mercy.

As a result, he was naturally ridiculed and left alone.

How could Sun Yi, who had been angry for so many years, just smile and forget her grudges just because of Wang Jinghua's hypocritical and pitiful gesture.

Compared with the few resources Wang Jinghua gave her as charity in the past, Lin Shen was much more generous.

Even the film industry, which she had always dreamed of, has completely opened its doors to her.

In order to avoid Lin Shen misunderstanding, Wang Jinghua’s WeChat account and phone number were all blocked.

Now that it's broken, break it cleanly.

If the lotus root is broken and the thread is connected, it is undesirable.

Sun Yi didn't want to make Lin Shen unhappy.

As for the life and death of Wang Jinghua, mother and son, what does it have to do with her?
