Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 285 Give them a blow

The matter of Liu Tianxian has come to an end for the time being and will soon fade away. If you slander others, they will slander your artist. No one has so much money to fight back against Yutu.

As for alliance, no one would start doing it unless people are pissed off.

If you join forces, you will have to bear the risk of being backstabbed. If Yutu lets go of the others and only targets you, then this person basically has no chance of staying in the entertainment industry.

No one would offend Jade Rabbit because of a little actor!

Just as the incident was slowly fading, on December 12, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" exceeded 31 billion yuan, becoming the first Chinese-language movie to break the billion box office mark.

It created a record in the history of Chinese entertainment and the media was full of praise. Netizens were full of exclamations and congratulations. The film and television industry was very envious. Guangtou Xu was so excited that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he clamored to hold a celebration banquet.

The sign of the prosperity of Chinese film industry starts with this film, and the rise of new directors starts with this film.

Chinese entertainment films have officially entered the billion-dollar era.

Feng Kuzi was very jealous and announced that he would shoot "Private Tailor" to make up for it.

But that's their own business.

On the 18th floor of Yutu, a meeting for Tupiaopiao’s financing is being held. The original shareholders are still Tencent, Wanda, Meituan, and Guangxian, and no other shareholders will be added.

Tencent and Meituan’s online resources, Wanda’s offline resources, Light Media’s resources, and Yutu’s investment and production are enough shareholders, and no other shareholders are needed.

In 2012, Tupiaopiao achieved a transaction volume of 17 billion, accounting for about 10% of the mainland box office. This is ticket sales, with daily active users exceeding one million.

Of course, it is the peak daily activity.

Participated in and distributed "Lucy 1", "You Are the Apple of My Eye", "Cold War" and "Lost in Thailand", with a cumulative box office of over 20 billion.

The performance is outstanding.

However, the administrative expenses plus ticket subsidies resulted in a loss of more than 4 million yuan, and this was even when the issuance made money.

In other words, we didn't make any money, and we even lost a lot. However, losses are necessary. We have established ourselves in the market and explored issuance, which is equivalent to gaining a foothold.

It has also been rolled out to cinemas across the country, achieving the connection between online and offline seat selection and testing the stability of bank network payments, which is very good.

With the expansion of the market and the advent of intelligence, more and more ticketing platforms are emerging, and more money will be needed to compete.

兔票票估值83亿，之前的光线占有12.5%股份；鹅厂占股6.25%；万达占股6.25%；美团占股5%。

With such a valuation, coupled with a small dilution of shares, continued investment is necessary to maintain existing shares.

鹅厂注资10亿，占股13.29%；万达注资6亿，占股8.47%；美团注资5亿，占股6.02%。

Guangxian injected 9 million yuan and held 18.3% of the shares.

This is because Guangxian invested more in the previous A round. If other companies invested more in the A round, they would also have a larger share.

Taking Guangxian's existing shares as an example, 18.3% is worth at least 15 billion, which means that Guangxian will make a net profit of at least 4 million if it resells them.

To make more money than a movie that grosses over 10 billion, you still need to play with capital.

Working in the film and television industry is exhausting and unrewarding!
A total of 46.08% of Tupiao Piao was released, which only diluted each company by about 5%. Yutu still holds 53.92% and still has absolute control.

The funds raised from financing amounted to 30 billion!
That is to say, Tupiaopiao currently has 30 billion in cash to create at will.

Wouldn't this make Huayi and Star Master panic? If all this money was spent on ticket subsidies, they simply couldn't afford it.

However, this financing meeting has not yet been completed. The valuation is so high because Tu Piaopiao will not only fully enter the field of film distribution in the future, but also ensure the ability to distribute independently.

Another thing is to expand the ticketing business channels, including ticket sales channels for concerts, offline performances, sports events, dramas, etc.

Strive to become a comprehensive entertainment ticketing marketing platform.

In its previous life, Maoyan was engaged in investment and distribution, focusing only on the film industry, and left the comprehensive categories to Alibaba.

This won’t work. We need to fight for the comprehensive ticket business as well.

This is our future development strategy. Of course, we will still focus on the film sector and continue to delve deeper into it.

After telling the story to the major investors, the lights in the conference room turned on.

"Not bad, not bad, it's stable and improving." Wanda Zeng Maojun appreciated. Tu Piao Piao is doing quite well, it's a successful investment, at least it looks profitable now on paper.

"We will be far ahead next time." Fang Hong said with a smile.

"Do you really want to compete with Stephen Chow's movie?" Wang Changtian was very curious.

I've always heard that Yutu's "Now You See Me" will compete against Stephen Chow's "Exorcist".

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Fang Hong said.

"No problem, I'm just asking. Stephen Chow's brand is still very famous." Wang Changtian said.

"It's loud, do you have money to talk about? Let's give money directly to the audience. We would rather not make money ourselves than let our opponents make money." Fang Hong seemed very ambitious.

What's there to be afraid of if you have money? Capital plays a role.

"Yes, Mr. Fang is courageous and should give them a heavy blow." Liu Zhiping, president of Tencent's investment department, praised.

He heard that the movie was invested by Alibaba and it could be said to be Alibaba's first big movie, so it was necessary to give it a blow.

They compete with Alibaba everywhere.

The same is true in the film and television industry, there is also competition.

Fang Hong smiled, but his smile was a bit awkward. He was just talking nonsense and had no intention of competing with Stephen Chow.

One was that the post-production of Now You See Me was not done well; the other was that he had no confidence, as he knew that the movie Exorcist was very good.

Moreover, Stephen Chow’s brand is still very famous at this stage, and it cannot be suppressed by a 10 or 20 yuan ticket subsidy.

You might end up shooting yourself in the foot!

After the discussion, several CEO-like figures walked out of the meeting room one after another. How Tu Piaopiao would develop was left to Fang Hong.

They don't need to worry about it, they just need to help it develop.

However, Liu Zhiping did not move. He looked at Fang Hong and said, "Mr. Fang, I have something to talk to you about."

"Then let's find another place."

Fang Hong knew what he was talking about, wasn't it about "Heroes of Glory"?

Now this game has a huge revenue. Although it is not as profitable as their Dungeon and CrossFire, it is the most popular game on PC.

The two men came to a reception room and the secretary served them coffee.

"Mr. Fang, we will give you money and resources to help you take your game to the next level," said Liu Zhiping.

"Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, although I am the boss of that game, I am not part of the creative team. It is not up to me to decide whose money to take and whose not to take."

Fang Hong said again: "To be honest, my creative team is a group of game enthusiasts. They all know Tencent's reputation in the game circle and just want to make good games."

In other words, your Tencent has a very bad reputation in the circle and no one trusts you.

It's either plagiarism or paid money, it's disgusting.

"Oh, a group of working coders are concerned about the industry ecology. It's ridiculous." Liu Zhiping said disdainfully.

Fang Hong didn't know whether he was scolding himself or those programmers, so he kept silent.

But I feel like I'm really concerned about this.

"You're not running your company well. You can't even make a decision on such a small matter." Liu Zhiping nodded at Fang Hong, took a sip of coffee, stood up, and said no more.

Since they can't get in, it doesn't matter. Their Tencent strategy has already shifted to mobile games. They are just unhappy with this guy and are just trying to fool him.

"I didn't expect this either. I still need to learn more and gain more experience." Fang Hongsong said.

Damn it, this is saying that he is not good enough, and the previous sentence is also scolding him.
