Chapter 99 Merger (7/8)

For Americans, villas are called outside the suburbs. As the saying goes, "The rich live in the woods, and the middle-class live in the lawns"!

Kacicate Manor, Wan Ziren's new residence.

"Damn, are you starting to enjoy life now?"

After looking at the layout and decoration of this manor, Zhang Junsheng couldn't help but swear!

At least 2000 square meters!

“…4 million US dollars, not too expensive, I bought it.”

Wen Ziren explained...

That's right, Wen Ziren owns 12% of the equity of Tingfeng Entertainment. Last year, Tingfeng Entertainment made a profit of about 400 million yuan. Although he did not pay dividends to shareholders, as a producer, he enjoys 5% of the peripheral share...

Not to mention $4 million, he can afford to double it even if it doubles.

Zhang Junsheng was a little shocked: "…only $4 million?"

"Yes, $4 million is converted into RMB 30 million!"

"…The house I bought in Yanjing is not as big as yours, more than 40 million!"

"…That's in Yanjing. The unit price of Santa Monica luxury house in Mandeville, Los Angeles is $100,000!"

"Water?"

Wen Ziren stopped talking.

It is said that house prices in the United States are cheap, why don’t you say that there are also places where house prices in China are cheap?

...

In the living room, Wen Ziren poured Zhang Junsheng a cup of fat house happy water. After hesitating for a while, Zhang Junsheng still took a sip: "The last "Dawn" is filmed in two parts!"

"Don't worry, we've done the plan!"

"Does Stephanie Mel plan to write an extra?"

"Extra?"

"J.K. Rowling is writing "Where Are Fantastic Beasts", which can be seen as the extras of "Harry Potter". It is said that eight movies are going to be made!" After looking at Wan Ziren, Zhang Junsheng continued: "The Twilight series has generated at least $200 million in revenue for Stephanie Mel. As long as she is willing to continue writing, we can give 15% of the peripheral revenue!"

Wen Ziren hesitated for a moment: "I will persuade her, but even if she writes the extras, she may not choose to continue to cooperate with us!"

"…Why not? The profit of Tingfeng Entertainment this year will not be much worse than that of Hollywood's six majors. We also have overseas sales channels, and it is not much worse than that of the six majors..."

"Fox wanted to acquire us some time ago!"

“…What are they? How much does it offer?”

“$1.4 billion!”

"Are you sick? You want to acquire the top of Twilight for $1.4 billion?"

Dingfeng Entertainment has not been listed. According to the most normal market value estimate, the annual turnover is more than 500 million, and the market value can reach US$2.5 billion no matter how it is!

I don’t know how to bully me?

Originally, Tingfeng Entertainment completed a financing of up to US$1 billion in 2007.

Just want to acquire a film production company with good operations and complete sales channels for 1.4 billion?

It's so beautiful to think!

"…That's how they calculate it. You spent 140 million yuan on the peak of your purchase the previous year, and the ten times the premium..."

"Don't sell unless they offer a price of 10 billion!"

If you really want to offer a price of 10 billion, Zhang Junsheng sold it without saying a word!

Then I spent the money on Netflix...

"Impossible, I estimate that 1.8 billion is their bottom line!"

"It's short-sighted, no wonder it will be acquired by Di Baby in the future!"

"What?"

"Nothing... Let's have an appointment with Chris Melledandley tomorrow, let's discuss the company's merger, and "The Hunger Games" is almost ready to start!"

...

The direct impact of "Cremlin" sales not only was Yuehua's stock price soaring, but also touched the six major nerves...

Series films have always been gold mines!

Before the release of the movie, the series "Twilight" ranked 56th on the North American best-selling list. In the eyes of many people, it is a vulgar novel that is not even watched by the six major companies...

Then it became a pure gold mine of hundreds of millions of dollars in hand.

Not only that, Tingfeng also has Wan Ziren's horror series, "The Hunger Games", "Dark Fairy Tales"...

Let’s put it this way, relying solely on box office and series profits, the peak can completely squeeze into the top five of the year...

Coupled with the rise of the Eastern market and the power Zhang Junsheng has in the Eastern market, the rise of the peak is already unstoppable!

Hollywood has always been coveting the Chinese market...

The rules for dividing and typing movies are different!

According to the mainland regulations: only China Film and Television has the right to introduce imported films, while China Film and Television and China China have the right to distribute imported films.

40 foreign films can be introduced every year, 20 of which are divided into blockbusters, and these 20 can only be released by China Film and China; the remaining 20 are batch films.

Both companies are all focused on sharing blockbusters and do not have the energy to take into account the quota for film matching, so the two companies handed over some of the quota for film matching to other companies to assist in promotion, or after private companies purchased the copyright, they went to China Film and China to cooperate to obtain the quota.

In name, they are China Film and Huaxia issuers. In fact, these companies are the real issuers. China Film and Huaxia only charges certain management fees and issuance fees.

For Zhang Junsheng, getting a few quotas is really not difficult!

The two modes of account sharing are different. The share of imported films is only 13%, but the share of batch films is 43%...

A business that changes the left hand to the right hand!

They also want to do this, but unfortunately, there is no partner...

Chris Mellerdandley certainly knew that Tingfeng was no longer the independent company that was lucky enough to meet last year to dig up a bestseller. Its overseas distribution channels are no less than the traditional six majors!

As for the project, in addition to "Twilight" making a big splash, the "Pulp Novel" released in the first half of the year won US$190 million in North America and 260 million overseas results...

The "Human Purge Plan", "Silent Land" and "Luxing" that have been confirmed in the second half of the year, the peak profits this year are likely to exceed 20 World Fox!

More than eight movies will be released next year;

The North American distribution chain has been initially formed!

In addition to not being a member of the MAPP, Tingfeng has actually already the strength of a top club!

...

The negotiations went smoothly, and Chris was willing to cooperate. Of course, what he was most concerned about was the equity he owned and autonomy!

Except for some differences in equity, the rest are done exactly as Chris thinks.

With the signing of a contract, Lighting Entertainment became a top subsidiary, providing one or two films every year since 2010.

Of course, even if it is acquired, Lighting Entertainment has always had independent creative rights and controls the core creativity of the film, while Tingfeng Entertainment holds exclusive distribution rights.

This is a win-win deal for both parties, especially for Lighting Entertainment. With the blessing of the peak, their movies can be seen by more viewers.

After the merger, Chris owned a peak of 12% of the shares, parallel to Wen Ziren. Zhang Junsheng spent 80 million US dollars to buy 20% of the shares of Lighting Entertainment, becoming the first shareholder of Lighting Entertainment!

"It's finally done!"

The contract was signed, Zhang Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The little yellow man's surname was Zhang...
Chapter completed!
