my crew is not human

Chapter 411 Don't Want to Pay a Penny
Pet Agents is indeed a movie that Li Xianyun puts great hopes on.

This film basically brings warmth, imagination and innovation to the extreme, which is exactly what Dong Zixin is good at.

Originally, Li Xianyun wanted to increase investment, but Dong Zixin advised him not to do so.

She believes that a film like this overemphasizes the scene art, but weakens the meaning of the existence of animals.

The focus of the film should be on animals.

Watching them live in harmony, watching them express their own thoughts, and impress the audience with the "performance" and "true feelings" of animals, instead of empty and gorgeous pictures.

Therefore, the scene should not be gorgeous, it is better to be simple.

Li Xianyun accepted.

As a result, as soon as his side accepted it, Dong Zixin's side exceeded the budget by 100 million.

Director Dong Da also learned to face himself.

After watching the finished film, Li Xianyun realized that Dong Zixin was right.

In a movie like this, it really shouldn't be a big investment. It's best to use all the emotions and sincerity on those "characters" and let them show their most natural, true, kind and beautiful side.

Big investment will become a drag instead.

It was from that day that Li Xianyun was full of confidence in this film.

Even planned everything now.

So don't look at the box office on the first day of this film is not ideal, but that's because the pet agent team has no big names, and the actual publicity investment is not that big.

What Li Xianyun wants is word of mouth, he is also cautious, after confirming the effect of watching the movie, he will increase the intensity of publicity.

Most of the movies are promoted before going online, because the promotion also takes time to ferment, and the biggest advantage of doing so is that it can maximize the effect of the promotion, and get enough audiences to enter the arena at the beginning, and the opening audience If there are more films, there will be more film schedules in theaters, so the announcement is generally the first.

But Li Xianyun is different. His total investment in this film is more than 2000 million, and he is not afraid of losing money.

He believes in the role of "tap water" more than the overwhelming announcements that cost hundreds of millions.

Quality is the key to everything.

In fact, it’s not that big studios don’t pay attention to quality, but quality is like a goddess, often untouchable—many bad movies are also carefully produced by directors.

Even Li Xianyun himself is not sure whether I like Pets because of my personal emotional factors.

Li Xianyun, who attaches great importance to cost-effectiveness, invests 2000 million in advance is his limit, but as long as word of mouth is good, he will immediately follow up the investment and take the opportunity to stir up a wave of success.

At this moment, Li Xianyun said directly: "I will continue to strengthen the publicity in the future. As for your side, this time it is a waste of money and a collapsed house. Don't count on the movie Yehuo. I said this is not to show off, you If I cooperate, I can guarantee you money."

"You are not someone who gives away money for free." Feng Minzhong said with a heavy heart.

"Yes. I need you to do me a favor."

"what?"

Li Xianyun thought for a while and said, "I want to buy Tongda Cinemas."

"What did you say?" Feng Minzhong was shocked: "Are you joking? Do you know how much it costs?"

"Well, probably tens of billions." Li Xianyun shrugged.

"Can you take it out?"

"Of course I can't take it out." Li Xianyun said with a smile: "I won't directly buy their theaters, and Sun Junliang can't sell them either. But I can buy shares!"

Shares?

Feng Minzhong suddenly understood.

Tongda has nearly 220 theaters, with an asset scale of [-] billion.

If it goes on the market, you can inflate it casually, and it is easy to calculate 500 billion.

In this regard, Tongda Cinemas is not only a cinema, but also includes some real estate.

It is worth noting that Tongda Cinemas is not a branch of Shengda Group.

A branch is a subsidiary company of an enterprise and a non-independent legal person.

Tongda is an independent legal person, and Shengda Media is just the largest shareholder.

Therefore, Tongda Cinemas has its own board of directors and its own equity structure, but as the largest shareholder, Shengda Media has a great influence on Tongda, so Tongda Cinemas is often nicknamed Shengda Cinemas.

Shengda Media only owns 20.00% [-]% of the shares in Tongda Cinemas, and the rest belong to hundreds of large and medium-sized enterprises.

Interestingly, Shengda Media is a listed company with a market capitalization once as high as 300 billion, but later fell back to around 160 billion.However, the industry will not give you such a calculation. In Li Xianyun's eyes, Shengda's volume is at most [-] billion.

And Tongda Cinemas has reached a volume of more than 200 billion before it was listed.

The size of the unlisted subsidiary was larger than that of the listed holding company. As a result, Han Qiu, the boss of the theater chain for a while, patted the table to talk to Sun Junliang.

A year later, Han Qiu was out.

The king of office fighting is well-deserved of his reputation, if you say you can do it, you can do it, even if you are an independent legal person, it is useless to be the boss.

At this point, Tongda Theaters is still accepting financing—like Li Xianyun, they don’t mind releasing the shares of the theaters. After all, they are heavy on assets and stable income. What they need is the foundation, which is the most suitable for financing.

When a piece of land appreciates in value, you can use the rights in your hand to strip it out.

It's that simple.

This is also the biggest difference between Huaguo and the original world-Huaguo is now vigorously developing the entertainment industry, and there are many preferential policies, so it is more convenient for theaters to get land.

Feng Minzhong nodded: "If Yisheng Media wants to rise in the future, it must step on the stepping stone of Shengda, but Shengda Media owns 12.00% of the theaters in the country. Now Sun Junliang has not turned against you. If one day he feels that you threaten him As long as the theaters hold you back, it will be difficult for your film to sell well."

"That's right." Li Xianyun admitted, "I have to plan ahead."

"But he can't let you buy shares."

"That's why I'm looking for you. Anyway, Sun Junliang cheated you this time. You have ten theaters under your control, but it doesn't make much sense. Why don't you go together and be a minority shareholder." Li Xianyun smiled.

"And then transfer the shares to you?"

"Others, you understand. I will give you a preferential price, but don't expect too much. Speaking of which, you owe me too." Li Xianyun said with a smile.

Feng Minzhong shook his head: "It's not that I disagree. The question is, what good will this do for you? Even if you get in, you're only a minority shareholder."

Li Xianyun wrote lightly: "I will sell my 45 theaters to you first. Adding your ten theaters, it will be 55 theaters. The valuation should reach 20 billion. Put it on Tongda's plate. I estimate eight There is no problem. Of course it is not important, after all Shengda has more than 20.00%. But it should be among the top five."

Feng Minzhong nodded.

The shares of Tongda Cinemas are too scattered, and if it is not in the top five in eight points, it will also be in the top ten.

But so what?
Li Xianyun said: "In that case, you will be qualified to initiate a proposal. If Sun Junliang wants to do something to my film in the future, it will affect the income of Tongda Cinemas. As a shareholder, you have the right to initiate a general meeting of shareholders."

Feng Minzhong understood, he looked at Li Xianyun in surprise: "You want to secretly control the Tongda Theater?"

Li Xianyun replied indifferently: "Shengda Media is sensible, so it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen. If you are not sensible and hurt the interests of all shareholders, then you have to step down as well. You say... If Yisheng Media's next film If I can make money, do those shareholders want me to be in power? Or do they want Sun Junliang to be in power?"

Hearing these words, Han Xinyu and Feng Minzhong were stunned.

Fuck me, you really don’t want to pay for your feelings. With this little capital, you’re going to win the entire Tongda theater chain?
but……

Fuck!
It really works!
Sun Junliang didn't risk his life, Li Xianyun had no chance, but he didn't need a chance.

So Sun Junliang is a person who will not die?

No, he is a professional manager, and he considers his own interests in everything he does.

He will certainly do it.

If you don't do it, you won't be him.

Just like this time, for himself, he cheated Changxin.

But for Li Xianyun, there is no harm in this matter.

Become a shareholder of Tongda Cinemas, you can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat, and you can get dividends even if you are in trouble.

Thinking of this, Sun Junliang sighed.

He looked at Li Xianyun: "You have to give me a good price for my theaters."

Li Xianyun replied: "Why don't you count all the money as the shares of our future cooperation?"

Feng Minzhong looked at him in surprise: "Damn it, you really don't want to pay a penny?"
