Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 472 Becoming a Cake Splitter!
After dinner, Han Fei was in charge of washing the dishes, and Li Yanan directed from the side, um, bossy, a bit like Dong Jie.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Yanan glared at Han Fei, and the woman's intuition told him that this guy must be thinking something evil.

Han Fei said: "You look like my mother."

"Bah." Li Yanan blushed instantly.

Han Fei suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a passage in the movie version of Yi Tian Tu Long Ji. Zhang Wuji, played by Jet Li, met Zhao Min in a restaurant. He was upstairs, and Zhao Min looked back on a horse.

Zhang Wuji said: "She looks like my mother."

Xiao Zhao: "Looks pretty like your mother?"

"You also look like my mother."

After hearing this, Li Yanan spat at Han Fei: "This is all a mess." After speaking, he slipped out of the kitchen.

The New Year's Eve reserved item is naturally to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but within half an hour of watching, Li Yanan started yawning: "This Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring."

Han Fei agreed deeply: "Forget it, don't watch it, Quan Te is lip-syncing, let's play a game."

"What are you playing? Isn't it duo?" Li Yanan said that he doesn't play mobile games.

"Wait." Han Fei said as he took out a box from the TV cabinet, which contained a brand new PS4 plus, VR set.

"Hey, I thought it was VR?" Li Yanan said that he is a master of VR.

However, she did not see Han Fei showing a meaningful smile after she put on the VR glasses.

When Li Yanan was moving according to the instructions of the system, Han Fei was already standing behind her, putting his arms around her waist. Li Yanan froze and was about to take off the VR glasses.

But Han Fei exhaled softly in his ear: "Don't be afraid, keep playing, I'm just a telegraph pole, I promise not to mess around."

Li Yanan hesitated for a moment, then continued the game
There was nothing to say all night, and it wasn't until breakfast the next day that Han Fei found out that the Internet had been bombed, and it was midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Byte officially released the new film of Huanxi Film and Television on the Internet.

Indeed, Byte is playing very well. The increase in new users of several of its apps has exploded. Although the income from advertising fees is not enough to offset the 6.3 million copyright fees, the subsequent income is far greater than this figure. It can be said that this transaction is pure profit.

However, many movie fans were disappointed with the film, and even bluntly said that it is no wonder that Huanxi Media wants to sell this film, because this film will lose money in any other schedule except during the Spring Festival.

That's right, in the eyes of many movie fans, this movie is a bad movie. Although it may not be so bad that it is unacceptable, it is definitely not worth spending more than an hour on a movie ticket to watch.

However, some netizens said: Don’t be too demanding if it’s free, just be able to watch it. Anyway, it’s quite fun to watch it without thinking.

And there are not a few netizens who hold this point of view, which is more interesting. Netizens seem to have a high tolerance for free things, even if they clearly know that free things are the most expensive, capital will definitely come from Another angle to earn the money back.

But it still didn't stop them from chasing for free. Han Fei kept looking up netizens' opinions on this matter, and couldn't help but sigh. This was the last situation he wanted to see.

It is not easy for the mainland film market to develop from a desert to its current scale. After nearly 50 years, the efforts of several generations of film and television practitioners have led to the atmosphere today. More and more people are willing to buy tickets to watch movies. many.

However, through the operation of bytes, some less determined movie fans began to waver. Since you can watch movies for free, why spend money?Is it because the audio-visual effect of the movie theater is better?It's cool to watch it at home by myself.

What's more interesting is that Byte's coquettish operation also indirectly had a huge impact on the Spring Festival Gala. In the past, everyone sat in front of the computer on New Year's Day, and suddenly the Spring Festival Gala programs were basically reserved items. However, this year's New Year's Day, all It's about movies.

This is very uncomfortable. Sometimes not being scolded does not mean how well you do it. It may also be that no one pays attention.

Undoubtedly, this is another huge blow to the Spring Festival Gala program group. Alas, I miss the days when people scolded me.

Unknowingly, time came to March, and the epidemic situation still showed no signs of improvement. Many theaters began to find that the epidemic situation seemed to be very different from their expectations.

Originally, everyone was still thinking about controlling the epidemic in February, and reopening in March. Maybe it can catch up with the upsurge of retaliatory consumption by movie fans.

However, no, according to various signs, the epidemic situation has no signs of improvement in a short period of time, and perhaps everyone should prepare for a protracted war.

This is the last situation that theaters want to see. Failure to open means that they have to continue to invest and have no source of income. What's more frightening is that opening is still far away.

In business, investment is not terrible, but what is terrible is that you have invested a lot, but you can't see the hope of profit. This makes many theater owners start to think whether this transaction is worth continuing to do.

Undoubtedly, it will be at a loss for a long time to come, and even if the ban is lifted, the business of the theater chain will not be good, and it may face a loss for half a year, or even as long as a year. Everyone counts.

As a result, some theater owners also began to look for a way out, but in the current situation, is anyone willing to take over this hot potato?

"The boss of South China Cinemas has already started looking for a buyer. Do you want to contact him?" Li Yanan looked a little excited. Such a large-scale commercial acquisition is something that is rare for any professional manager.

"How much is the asking price?" Han Fei's heart moved.

"150 billion, if it is really negotiated, it should be compressed to about 120 billion."

Han Fei shook his head: "This old fox really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin. The main cinema stores of the South China Cinema Line are concentrated in the coastal areas. There are a total of 283 self-operated stores and 75 franchise stores. According to the current situation of the South China Cinema Line The market value of the company is indeed worth this price, but today is not what it used to be, what kind of stock price has fallen, and he still refuses to cut any meat, so let's ignore him and contact some small theaters first."

"Yes." Li Yanan nodded.

Sure enough, after another half a month, South China Cinemas has begun to openly seek someone to take over in the circle. 58% of the shares are priced at 130 billion. If this price was last year, someone must have made a move. However, this year's market Everyone can see it, who wants to buy a property that is bound to lose money?
Even if they are interested, they are still waiting and watching with the mentality of buying sooner rather than later. There are not many people who really have contact with South China cinemas.

Soon, the time came to the end of March, and the epidemic situation still showed no signs of improvement, and soon another large theater chain began to seek sale in the circle.

This thing is just like the stock market. Once the brakes are turned on, the car cannot be stopped. Many small and medium-sized theaters saw that so many large theaters were starting to sell, and began to follow suit. look out.

However, they soon discovered that even if the price dropped again and again, there were still many inquiries, and very few genuine buyers.

To put it bluntly, we are all on the sidelines. If the epidemic will end soon, some people are willing to take a gamble. After all, the summer vacation is a big boom, and some people are willing to do projects that will be profitable immediately.

However, in mid-April, the epidemic was still severe, which made many buyers retreat, because China's film market, after the end of the summer vacation, has another two-month period of weakness. If the ban is not lifted, this year will be scrapped.

And there is another very serious situation that has to be considered. During the epidemic period, business cannot be operated. Many companies have begun to cut salaries and lay off employees. Immediately, everyone is almost hungry.200 yuan at a time is not a small expense.

As a result, panic began to appear in the entire theater market, and the stock prices of all theaters plummeted, and some theaters even fell by the limit for a week in a row.

Obviously, capital has abandoned the theater sector, and those who run slowly will only become cut leeks.

At this time, Han Fei said that he could enter the venue, and Li Yanan began to contact some small theaters. According to Han Fei's previous plan, South China Theaters was actually the first choice, but after a long investigation, it was discovered that the acquisition of South China Theaters risk is high.

First of all, Jiang Hua, the owner of South China Cinemas, only owns 58% of the shares in South China Cinemas, while the rest of the shares are in the hands of many large and small shareholders, including shares held by the government. In theory, all decisions made by South China Cinemas are It is necessary to report to the relevant department.

In addition, as a listed company, South China Cinemas will be very troublesome to acquire. There are too many things involved, and it will not be done within a year or so.

Therefore, Han Fei quickly shifted his focus to some small and medium-sized theaters. These theaters have as few as 30 theaters and more than 80 theaters. However, the advantage is that they are not concentrated in a certain theater. One region, but very scattered across the country.

Han Fei can buy these small and medium-sized theaters and reintegrate them into a new type of theater.

Moreover, none of these small and medium-sized theater chains have been listed, and the equity is relatively clear. More importantly, the price is because they have no market share, so the prices of these small and medium-sized theater chains are their actual prices, and there is no premium. During the epidemic Basically, they are sold at a loss.

"Why don't you just wait? Looking at the current situation, the summer vacation schedule is completely gone," Li Yanan suggested.

At this time, the time has come to the middle of May, the epidemic situation has finally improved, and many communities have begun to unblock, but only resume work and production, and all entertainment-related industries are still unable to operate.

However, Han Fei shook his head: "Don't wait, let's make a move. The current price is already overwhelming. If they push down, they may take some measures to recover their losses. It will be bad for us then."

"Moreover, after the acquisition of the theater chain, we still need to spend a lot of energy on integration. Time is too precious for us."

After listening to Li Yanan, he also felt that it made sense, so he began to formally offer quotations to those theaters that he had in-depth contact with before. Of course, the price must have been compressed again. Negotiations, it is impossible to show the cards to the opponent as soon as it comes up.

The bosses of those small and medium-sized theater chains were all on the brink of collapse. At this time, someone officially sent an offer, and they were naturally overjoyed. Although the offer made them want to scold their mothers, they were still unable to cope with the pressure of survival in the end, so they had to force themselves Sit down and negotiate.

Negotiation is a very grueling job. Han Fei and Li Yanan will definitely not be able to do it. Fortunately, they have resumed work and production, and the employees have already returned to work after [-] days of isolation.

Nowadays, it is not easy to have a stable job, so the employees work harder than usual.

Of course, due to the epidemic, it is absolutely impossible to let these bosses come to the capital for negotiations. All negotiations are completed through video.

Of course, this is only a preliminary agreement, and then Han Fei has to send people to various places to verify the real situation of these theaters, so as not to find out that the goods are not the right version, it will be a joke.

The time soon came to the beginning of June, and the summer vacation schedule was officially announced to be completely ruined, which made many theaters fall into a desperate situation again.

Because Han Fei was doing it relatively secretly, and those small and medium-sized theaters usually didn't attract much attention, so people in the circle thought that Han Fei was just trying to buy the bottom, and didn't realize that he was playing a big game of chess.

It wasn't until the end of June that Han Fei began to gradually complete the acquisition of these theaters and re-established a dedicated theater management company. Only then did people in the circle discover that Han Fei had quietly controlled 326 theaters.

Although these theaters are relatively scattered, there are not many theaters in the first-tier cities, and most of them are still located in the third- and fourth-tier cities. However, we have to admit that integrating these resources will definitely become a very powerful new theater chain.

Soon, the media reported the news, and netizens didn't have any special reaction to it. For them, whether they bought a theater or not didn't affect their watching Han Fei's movie.

However, it has caused quite a stir in the circle. You must know that "Flying Bird Film and Television" already has a very complete industrial chain, from audio books, to online dramas, TV dramas, to movies, animation, and the surrounding toy factories ,theme park.

These are quite high-quality assets, but Han Fei has always entered this industry too late, he can only be regarded as an excellent content producer, no matter how good the content is, it also needs a good platform to promote, this is why Han Fei was careful before s reason.

However, now that Han Fei has a good theater chain in his hands, he has completely mastered the platform resources. From then on, he is the one who is qualified to sit on the table and divide the cake, instead of waiting for others to divide the cake. hand it to him.

However, it was obvious that the theater colleagues were not happy about the sudden addition of such a cake-sharing person, and even felt that Han Fei had touched their interests.

It's a pity that now they are all unable to protect themselves, and there is no way to pose a threat to Han Fei.
