The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 190 The storm is coming

Wang Wei and Zhao Yichuan reached a verbal agreement on investing in Amazon.

Yes, someone had a bad taste and suggested that Zhao Yichuan change the name of his e-commerce website to "Amazon".

Of course, the reasons on the surface are impassioned——

"Amazon is not only the river with the largest flow in the world, it is also many times larger than any other river. It can engulf any other river. This means that your website will become the largest e-commerce website in the world, engulfing any other river."

An e-commerce company!”

Zhao Yichuan was greatly encouraged by the expectations contained in this, and he immediately agreed.

Well, the price of 500 million may allow him to change the company's name to "Xunmaya", and he agrees.

——Even amid the Internet craze, where a new company named ".com" seems to go public every minute and raise hundreds of millions, the news that Amazon has raised 500 million in one go is enough to make people's jaws drop.

Zhao Yichuan has foreseen that when the agreement is officially signed, Amazon will transcend its limited user base and enter the public eye for the first time, becoming the focus of the Internet industry and even the national media, further expanding its influence.

Of course, Wang Wei is likely to be regarded by many people as "a fool with too much money".

In fact, after returning to Dunhuang from the cafe, Wang Wei was already prepared to be yelled at by Lao Wang.

Under his leadership, China Television Group entered a period of prosperity. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, China Television once dominated the top five companies in China Entertainment, and often demonstrated what it meant to be wealthy and powerful in front of its peers in China Entertainment.

Today was supposed to be a happy day - he went to attend an industry association.

Wang Wei and Shen Zhenyi looked at each other, and the former's face became serious: "What is going on?"

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be decided by just tapping on the forehead, so few people did not react for a while.

Up to now, among the five major film companies, China Television ranks at the bottom.

China Television's qualifications among the five major companies are not that old. In fact, in the golden age of China Entertainment, there was no trace of China Television at all among the all-powerful studios.

It doesn't matter what the association itself discusses. What matters is that because of Dunhuang's brilliant record this year, almost everyone in the association is singing praises around him.

I’m not afraid to put it bluntly, with Dunhuang’s current upward momentum and being brought under China Television, aren’t we afraid of being dragged down by their downturn?

What's happening here?

Lao Wang also wanted to figure this out.

Speaking of which, the relationship between China Television and Dunhuang has been maintained fairly well over the years. At the very least, the media under China Television have a more positive attitude towards Dunhuang among the five major media.

Especially in the presence of the five major colleagues who either looked disappointed or could not hide the sourness in their voices, it was so sour to the extreme.

Therefore, it seems logical to want to deepen cooperation with Dunhuang.

"The management of China Television Group hopes to exchange 30% to 50% of our shares in Dunhuang for shares of China Television Pictures of the same value, so as to have closer contact and cooperation with us; if it really

If the exchange is successful, you will become the largest individual shareholder of China Television Pictures!"

Among other things, making a movie and recruiting three or four Pegasus Award-winning actors and actresses to play supporting roles was China Television's favorite thing to do at that time.

Fortunately, as soon as Lao Wang came back, he compiled as much information as possible on the acquisitions that China Television had experienced in recent years, as well as their current operating conditions, including financial conditions and production conditions, for auxiliary analysis.

and reference.

——He never imagined that while he was planning to acquire a large number of shares in another company, he would also be planned to "steal" by others.

But Shen Zhenyi, who has keen intuition, frowned and shook her head slightly, "It doesn't feel right..."

However, after the time entered the mid-1980s, the aging Xie Yanxi began to become obsessed with absolute power and acquiesced in the infighting among the group's senior executives.

The two of them didn't talk for long, but the information revealed by the other party made Lao Wang even a little surprised and speechless——

This sudden news immediately silenced Wang Wei.

Human resources turmoil will naturally affect decision-making. In addition, it has repeatedly failed to invest in production. As a result, such a once glorious media and entertainment empire has begun to decline rapidly. Both the quantity and quality of film and television works produced in recent years have continued to be sluggish.

No matter how you look at this cooperation, it is more beneficial to China Television; it cannot be said that it is not beneficial to Dunhuang, but compared with the price paid, the benefits seem to be insignificant.

"Fifty million is nothing. The problem now is that we in Dunhuang are facing a deal involving an unknown number of 500 million!"

"Looking at it this way, the situation is very obvious. With the continuous success in the past few years, especially the continuous sales of the works, China Television Pictures and even the entire China Television Group regard our Dunhuang as a shot in the arm."

Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention China Television is still far from being "skinny" - among other things, it has a top global distribution network and one of the most important public television networks in the country. The profound foundation is enough to be proud of China Entertainment.

Lao Wang was the first to put down the information and broke the silence: "So they want to establish an inseparable cooperative relationship with Dunhuang, and even build a community of interests..."

They are all people in the industry. Even if they have not paid special attention to China Television Group, there is still no shortage of information in general. A few people were silent and looked at the information first——

——Even if it's just a waste.

However, under this momentum, China Television proposed in-depth cooperation, and the conditions offered were not too generous.

——Compared with Ding Shi Ding Mao Shi Mao’s work itself, the distribution and marketing work of the movie depends on the "road", and if you want to "walk the wild", you have to rely on blundering, blowing, and hacking.

Wang Wei felt the same way. He didn't even care whether the other party gave more specific conditions, but asked Lao Wang alertly: "The president of China Television Pictures, was his attitude at that time a test? Or was he determined to win?"

——Until the president of China Television Pictures contacted him in private.

As long as Dunhuang is not stupid, he will not agree easily or even consider it.

…

Until Xie Yanxi of the Xie family, in order to transform, he took over China Television, invested a huge amount of money at the time, seized the opportunity of the rise of the television industry, and extended China Television's business to the film industry, newspapers and magazines, publishing houses, music records, etc. In the field, a cross-media entertainment empire is rising.

Of course, he doesn't just do it to enjoy flattery. Joining this kind of industry association is also a way to increase his reputation and gain access to more connections.

Lao Wang got along very well in the association and made a lot of new connections in the theater industry.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wang didn't care about the 500 million he spent, and anxiously told them a piece of news when they just returned to the company -

Although the money belongs to him personally, Lao Wang has always disliked such "lavish spending", or even money that has a high probability of being wasted.

Lao Wang thought about it for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he said with a gloomy expression: "It's not like a test, but it's a bit like looking at a caught prey. There is no other way to go but this way..."

When Wang Wei heard this, he looked up at the low clouds outside the window and sighed——

"So I guessed right, a storm is coming!"

…

I’ll start with a short update today and start working on it tomorrow~~~
