This star’s style is wrong

"Boss, many partners have come to ask what our company's next project plans are. Including several TV stations, Penguin Video, Pea Video, etc..."

During the Olympics, Fang Xing basically rested at home, and the release of the album has been finalized.

Of course, every Monday, Fang Xing would still go to the company to attend the weekly work meeting.

Qiao Yinghong first summarized the work of the past week.

The sales of the album have entered a stable period, and the long-term effect is very good.

This album generates at least 10 million in sales revenue every month, and there will be VIP membership sharing and copyright income in the future.

After the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Fang Xing was completely free.

According to Fang Xing's habit, he would have a new work plan after taking a break.

If it's music work, Fang Xing is a shareholder of Songshi Records and will basically not cooperate with other record companies.

If it is a film and television project, there will be more opportunities for cooperation.

so far.

The two TV series produced by Ark Culture, "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning", are both hits, and both are B-level hits.

This kind of project with small investment and high yield is a hen that can lay golden eggs. It is the favorite investment type of film and television companies.

Because the investment is small, even if you lose money, you won’t lose much.

Once it becomes a hit drama, not only will the investment income be huge, but the company's artists can also be inserted into the TV series, making the TV series popular among the company's artists.

Therefore, as soon as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games ended, many partners came to inquire for information.

Qiao Yinghong's response was basically that there are no project plans for the time being.

"Boss, what projects are you preparing for next?" Qiao Yinghong asked this most concerning question after finishing her work report.

"Not yet, let's do the work at hand first." Fang Xing indeed has no new work plan yet.

"Currently, major TV and film companies want to ask us if we have any film and television plans. Does the boss have any ideas now? Or do we want to hold a concert? The boss's current music library is enough to hold a concert." Qiao Yinghong proposed Two suggestions.

Generally speaking, if a singer wants to hold a solo concert, the prerequisite is that the song can fill the entire concert.

The second thing is that the tickets have to be sold.

Now, Mailin Records is preparing a national tour for Tan Zhiguan, and tickets for Donghai Station have already gone on sale.

"We won't hold the concert for the time being. Tickets are still too expensive for most people. We'll talk about it later when needed." Fang Xing didn't consider the concert for the time being.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and continued: "Also, the radio and television regulatory authorities have issued documents and need to send people to a meeting."

"You can just arrange this. We will strictly follow the requirements of the national regulatory authorities." Fang Xing expressed his attitude.

"Okay." Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed, writing it down in the notebook with a pen.

At the end of the regular meeting, Fang Xing remembered something and asked, "How much money does the company have in its account now?"

Qiao Yinghong communicated with the financial director and replied: "We have no investment projects in the near future. We have abundant funds. We have 100 million in funds that can be directly used. If the demand is greater, we can raise another 100 million within three months."

"That's enough. If you have time, talk to Liang Jing. If he is willing, buy his studio. I plan to expand and develop into a film and television animation company." Fang Xing said his plan.

"Spirited Away" produced by Liang Jing Studio has reached an advanced stage.

Ark Culture is the main investor in this animated film, accounting for 50%.

In addition, Fang Xing, as the director, screenwriter and producer, also gets another 10% dividends, and the remaining 40% belongs to investors such as Liangjing Studio and Jade Bird Film and Television.

Regarding the acquisition of Liang Jing Studio, Fang Xing has not talked with him yet and is not sure whether he is willing.

If he is willing, Fang Xing is prepared to use his studio as a basis to develop into a film and television animation company.

If he doesn't want to, then buy another animation company.

The animation industry is not doing well right now. Big companies are doing fine, but many small companies are facing bankruptcy. It is not difficult to acquire a small animation company.

Of course, Fang Xing's first choice is to cooperate with Liang Jing.

After all, I have worked together before and I know Liang Jing’s character and conduct quite well.

Fang Xing likes people like Liang Jing who focus on doing things rather than making money.

…

After the regular work meeting, Qiao Yinghong personally talked to Liang Jing.

This matter was very important, and Liang Jing couldn't make up his mind for a while.

That night, he called Fang Xing, hoping to meet.

Fang Xing asked him to come to Ark Culture the next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Fang Xing arrived at the company, Liang Jing was already waiting in the office.

"Have you had breakfast?" Fang Xing asked casually after sitting down.

"Eat, eat." Liang Jing held the briefcase in his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"I asked you to come here today. You should know the matter. I am considering acquiring an animation company, or injecting capital. Because we have cooperated before, we are quite harmonious, so if you are willing, we can do it together in the future. If you think you can do it alone Better, then I'll let people talk to other animation companies." Fang Xing made his attitude clear as soon as he came up.

Although the cooperation between the two parties on "Spirited Away" was very pleasant, after all, this time they wanted to acquire his studio, so it would be better to make things clear.

In business negotiations, all terms should be laid out clearly to avoid conflicts in the future.

Liang Jing was actually hesitant. He pushed up his glasses again and asked, "I heard from Mr. Qiao that you want to develop a film and television animation company?"

"We do have this plan. Acquiring an animation company is the first step." Fang Xing nodded and replied.

"But my studio is actually very small." Liang Jing was a little worried.

"It's enough to complete an animated film. From now on, the company can develop slowly, it depends on your own ideas." Fang Xing did not rush him.

"How much capital does Mr. Fang want to inject?" Liang Jing did not use the word "acquisition" because he developed this studio by himself, and he still hoped to retain some shares.

"I asked an investment company to estimate that your Liang Jing Studio, based on the current valuation, is 30 million. Most of the value comes from the unfinished "Spirited Away"." Fang Xing said calmly, There was no intention to belittle him.

Liang Jing is very clear about the valuation of the studio.

His studio, before cooperating with Fang Xing, was actually a grassroots team, looking for people to invest everywhere, and it was on the verge of dissolution several times.

It wasn't until Fang Xing's investment was received to start production of "Spirited Away" that he began to recruit people, expand the studio's scale, and produce this animated film.

So far, Liang Jing Studio's only project is "Spirited Away."

Although he personally likes this animated movie very much, it is still unknown whether the cost will be recovered after the movie is released.

After all, now that an animated film is produced, it is still unknown whether it will be released.

After it is released, it is also unknown whether the cost can be recovered.

Liang Jing has only one goal for this animated film, which is to recover the cost.

As long as the cost is recovered, then he will have the next project.

If you can't even recover the cost, then you don't know when the next project will have to wait.

Therefore, the value of his studio depends entirely on the project "Spirited Away".

If this project fails, the value of his studio will fall to the bottom. If this project makes money, the value of his work will also increase.

Liang Jing is a person who wants to concentrate on animation. He really doesn't like and is not good at doing business.

However, he is not stupid.

He knew that if his "Spirited Away" made money, his studio's valuation would rise.

If Spirited Away flops, his studio will be worthless.

Currently, the production of "Spirited Away" is in its final stages.

Fang Xing proposed to acquire his studio at this time. The timing was very delicate.

Liang Jing asked tentatively: "Mr. Fang, are you very confident in "Spirited Away"?"

Fang Xing smiled and replied: "Of course, I am the editor of this animated film, and I am also responsible for part of the directing work. Of course I have confidence in it.

"I also understand what you are thinking, you think this is a big gamble.

“If Spirited Away takes off, your studio valuation will skyrocket.

“In other words, when that time comes, you can get more money by selling your studio.

"If Spirited Away loses money, the value of your studio will also plummet.

"In short, it depends on whether you want to accept the investment before "Spirited Away" is released, or wait until after it is released."

Liang Jing quickly shook his head: "No, I just want to know Mr. Fang's purpose of acquiring the studio."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said directly: "I'll tell you bluntly. I have confidence in "Spirited Away". After the movie is released, your studio's valuation should increase.

“You should be able to make a lot of money from the Spirited Away project.

“You led a team to produce this animated film, and you deserve the money you made.

"However, I will tell you frankly that after "Spirited Away" is released, I will not consider investing in your studio, but will instead acquire another animation company.

“It’s that simple, now you accept the capital injection, and we will continue to cooperate.

"If you want to go it alone, then by working together on this animated film, you'll get what you deserve."

After hearing this, Liang Jing raised his eyebrows.

Because Fang Xing's words were too straightforward.

He didn't even hide his true thoughts.

Liang Jing's heart was beating wildly, and he understood what Fang Xing meant.

If his studio accepts capital injection, there will be more collaborative projects in the future.

If he does not accept the capital injection, then Fang Xing will acquire another animation company.

This means that Fang Xing will not cooperate with him in future animation projects.

certainly.

If Spirited Away makes money, his studio will surely be able to get other animation projects.

The key point now is whether he values ​​his cooperation with Fang Xing.

After Fang Xing expressed his attitude, he kept looking at him with a smile.

In fact, on this kind of issue, Fang Xing always gives the partner a chance to choose.

This has been the case since "Wulin Gaiden".

If Song Yutong was willing to reduce her salary to take the role of "Guo Furong", then Song Yutong can now try to become a first-line actress.

And Lin Yingxue, if when talking about "The Beginning", she is willing to accept "The Beginning" at a friendly price because of her previous cooperation, then she can also reach the top of the second line.

Now, Fang Xing plans to set up an animation company. It depends on whether Liang Jing is willing to acquire a company.

Liang Jing is actually struggling.

He valued his cooperation with Fang Xing, but the studio was also his hard work.

He thought about it all night last night and didn't get much sleep.

Fang Xing saw his hesitation, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can go back and think about it first, and just give me a reply within a week."

Liang Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Fang, after you acquire the studio, will there be any animation projects in the future?"

Fang Xing nodded and admitted, "Of course, otherwise what would I do if I bought an animation company?"

Liang Jing asked again: "If I accept the capital injection, I hope to leave part of the shares for myself and the original entrepreneurial team."

One of the reasons why Fang Xing wanted to acquire his studio was because he valued his ability in animation production.

If you want to cooperate for a long time, of course you have to leave him some shares.

Otherwise, who would be willing to work for nothing?

Fang Xing replied: "If you accept the capital injection, then I will inject 50 million, acquire 80% of the shares, and leave the remaining 20% ​​to you and your team."

Liang Jing was finally moved after hearing this answer.

He knew very well that with his ability, without Fang Xing's help, his studio might have been disbanded by now.

If you want to develop the studio into an animation company in the future, you will definitely need a lot of capital.

Even if you don't accept capital injection from Fang Xing, you still have to accept capital injection from other investment companies.

The only difference is that if "Spirited Away" makes money after its release, his studio's valuation will be higher and he will get more money.

However, Fang Xing's intention was also very clear. After "Spirited Away" is released, he will no longer use his studio, but will choose other animation companies.

After Liang Jing thought about it carefully, he immediately agreed: "I am willing to accept the capital injection. I will sign the contract after I go back and discuss it with the team."

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Okay, you will contact Mr. Qiao when the time comes, and someone will come to discuss the specific details of the capital injection with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Fang. I'll go back first." After Liang Jing finished speaking, he stood up and left, preparing to go back to discuss the matter with the team who started the business together.

After he returned, he immediately consulted with the five core members of the studio.

However, the team members did not all think alike.

Some are confident in "Spirited Away" and feel that they should wait until the movie is released before financing.

At that time, you can get a higher valuation.

Liang Jing still hopes to accept the investment from Ark Culture: "Fang Xing's attitude is very clear. After "Spirited Away" is released, he will no longer want our studio."

"If we don't want our studio, then we can find other investment companies. As long as our value is reflected, are we afraid that no company will be willing to invest?" Feng Jianyu, as a member of the entrepreneurial team, hopes to get more.

"However, once Fang Xing stops investing in us, he will no longer cooperate with us on future animation projects." Liang Jing still cares more about the animation work itself.

"Can we only cooperate with Fang Xing? Is he the emperor? Without him, we can't make animations?" Feng Jianyu's attitude was very determined.

Another member of the entrepreneurial team suggested: "Stop arguing, let's vote. There are six of us, and Liang Jing counts as two votes. The minority obeys the majority. If we feel that we can't get along in the future, then after the financing is completed, everyone can split the money and leave. Okay. Let’s get together and part ways.”

Liang Jing thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's vote. However, I still pay more attention to the animation work itself. I like Fang Xing's attitude and understanding of animation. I like to be able to continue to cooperate with him in the future, so I Vote for Ark Culture and raise your hands if you agree with Ark Culture’s investment.”

Of the six people, only two raised their hands, and the other four did not.

Seeing this result, Liang Jing was a little confused. He did not expect that four of the six-person entrepreneurial team would vote against it.

"You..." He didn't know what to say.

Feng Jianyu sighed: "Liang Jing, I know you like animation, and we also like it, but we also want to make money. The quality of "Spirited Away" will definitely sell well. After "Spirited Away" becomes popular, Our studio has become famous. When the time comes, many companies will want to invest, and the valuation can be hundreds of millions."

Liang Jing was a little angry: "Then what does it mean now?"

"What the four of us mean is that if the studio wants to raise funds, it will be after "Spirited Away" is released. If Fang Xing is still willing to inject capital at that time, we can continue to talk." Feng Jianyu expressed his attitude.

Liang Jing didn't expect this result, and he was stunned for a long time.

The next day, I could only find Fang Xing to explain the thoughts of the rest of the entrepreneurial team.

Fang Xing couldn't help but feel funny when he heard his story.

This studio was called Liang Jing Studio, but in the end he couldn't make the decision himself.

From this point of view, he is indeed not suitable for managing a company and is only suitable for focusing on animation.

Fang Xing thought about it and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liang Jing quickly expressed his attitude: "I hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Fang, but in the internal voting of our team, four people disagreed. I...I don't know what to do."

Fang Xing was not angry about this, and said directly: "This is easy to handle. Let's acquire an animation company as a joint stock, and you will be responsible for the animation production, and I will send someone to manage the company.

“It’s still the same as before, the animation company we acquired will leave you 20% of the shares.

"Actually, you should be able to see my attitude. The reason why I considered your studio in the first place was actually because I recognized your attitude towards animation.

"If the rest of your team is unwilling, then we will open another company. You can take away as many people as you can from the studio, and leave the rest to them."

Liang Jing looked a little surprised when he heard this.

Now he finally understood what Fang Xing really wanted.

This is all about tailoring an animation company for him, so that he can really concentrate on animation and manage the company's affairs, leaving it to others.

This is actually what he really wants.

Liang Jing didn't need to discuss with others this time, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I am willing."
