Chapter 173: The twist that can't be happy
Boss Ding's wealthy appearance did not completely unload Liang Xiao's inner burden, and she was skeptical of Ding Le's idea of buying other companies at every turn.
Even if Fairy Media pockets the target company through capital operation, it is easy to acquire and difficult to integrate.
This is like a pair of men and women with very different personalities, from not knowing each other to falling in love, and finally starting a family, they will definitely experience countless bumps and bumps in between.
Liang Xiao saw that Ding Le didn't know the doubts in her heart, she hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to come up with her own ideas.
"I personally think that if Fairy Media wants to gain a foothold in the circle, it is still necessary to make a fuss from itself, we have to have our own works, with good works, we will naturally have a good reputation, and popularity is a matter of course!"
Seeing that Liang Xiao dared to challenge authority, Ding Le had the urge to think about something, but he thought about it, it was already a bit unbelievable to let Liang Xiao take the list to poach people before, if there was anything else now, it would make her even more confused, so it was better not to explain.
"In this case, it seems that it is necessary to invest in a movie, so that Fairy Media can try to cry again in the circle!"
Ding Le picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly according to Liang Xiao's point of view.
"The company has just been established, and the investment project should not be greedy, it is best to be the kind of high-quality budget movie that wins by plot......"
Ding Le held his chin with his right hand, staring at the energetic beautiful girl in front of him with bright eyes, and his left hand tapped rhythmically on the edge of the desk in front of him.
Liang Xiao found herself stared at by her boss for a long time, and suddenly became a little shy, she subconsciously lowered her head, avoiding Ding Le's direct gaze, and suddenly began to feel cramped.
At this awkward moment, a movie suddenly flashed in Ding Le's mind, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" that he had watched before he was reborn.
This movie is adapted from the stage play of the same name "Charlotte Troubles" of "Happy Twist", which was originally jointly produced by Happy Twist Xinli Movie and Penguin Video, and the director and actors of the film are also from the team of "Happy Twist".
This movie tells the story of the male protagonist starring Shen Teng who unexpectedly returns to youth after making a big fuss about his first love wedding, and finally realizes life and finds true love.
This movie has no big director, no big star, no big publicity, the cost is 20 million, but after its release, it achieved an amazing box office of 1.4 billion, and is known as a unique dark horse in the history of Chinese films.
The film was also nominated for Best Picture at the 33rd Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films, which can be a double harvest at the box office.
Thinking of this, Ding Le suddenly snapped his fingers and said excitedly: "Ha, I have already thought of a good idea, and the script that Fairy Media wants to invest in is here!"
"Got a script?"
Liang Xiao was in embarrassment, and she was frightened by Ding Le's sudden change.
At this moment, Ding Le's thoughts were out of control like an open door, he thought of the script of "Charlotte's Troubles", and then he thought of the company Happy Twist.
Of course, at the moment, this company should be called Free Element, and he has the impression that Happy Twist was only renamed and established in 2012.
A few years later, the company became popular with the movie "Charlotte's Troubles", and was listed on the New Third Board, and after two rounds of fixed increases within a week, the company's valuation soared from 300 million yuan to 5 billion yuan, becoming the first stock of Chinese drama performances.
Thinking that this company is still well-known, it is better to simply let Liang Xiao come to the door with the script in one hand and the check in the other.
"I only have a general idea now, I will take the time to write the script for you, and I also have a good acquisition target, I will have people prepare the information and send it to you later!"
With the big boss's reply, Liang Xiao naturally had no need to continue staying, she thought of Ding Le's eyes staring at her, and she was still shy.
Ding Le belongs to the kind of person who does it, looking at Liang Xiao's departing figure, he picked up the phone and called He Jun who was far away in the imperial capital.
After Galaxy Investment set up a branch in the imperial capital, He Jun's work became busier, in addition to the regular project reserve expansion, post-investment tracking, he is also responsible for the framework construction of the branch.
When Ding Le called, He Jun was holding a meeting with the investment managers and assigning work tasks, and he saw the big boss calling, so he decisively ended the meeting and quickly returned to his office.
"Mr. Ding, what instructions do you have?"
On the phone, He Jun was respectful, no matter what time it was, he would always be humble to Ding Le.
"You send someone to collect the relevant information of the company of Free Elements, this company is mainly engaged in drama performances, Chinese New Year dramas, if possible, contact the founder, I have the intention of investing!"
"Freedom Element?Drama?Okay, I'll investigate as soon as possible!"
The decision of the boss Ma Xingkong did not confuse He Jun, although it was unexpected by him, he still responded in time.
Hanging up Ding Le's phone, He Jun began to mobilize his circle of friends resources and inquire around about the company's background.
Imperial Capital Free Element Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. was established in 2003, the company was established at the beginning of three partners, and later because of differences in philosophy, one of the partners withdrew, and then Zhang Cheng was responsible for the company's capital operation, Yu Kai was responsible for the company's daily operations.
The company is mainly engaged in drama performances, and also put forward the concept of Chinese New Year drama for the first time in the industry.
However, at present, the domestic drama market is not mature, and the market is almost full of national team players, and there are almost no private theater troupes. Whether it is feasible to do dramas in a market-oriented way, no one has verified it, since the two of them have partnered to tinker with dramas, the company's operation and development have been bumpy and bumpy, and they have also crossed the river by feeling the stones.
Although the company releases new works every year, due to the high operating costs, the company's repertoire performances are not all profitable. In these years, if there is not enough financial support, it is indeed very difficult to develop in the drama performance industry.
Last month, in order to raise funds, the company made a change of equity and brought in new investors, but this was only a drop in the bucket.
After the release of the company's new play "Sweet and Salty Match", the box office revenue was not too ideal, especially after renting a large venue, only a handful of audiences came to watch the performance, and they were losing money whether they performed or not.
When He Jun came to the door through a friend's introduction, the two were worried about the company's development. Now everyone is relying on enthusiasm and momentum to persevere, but this is not a long-term solution.
Should they change the venue and reduce the number of performances? Or should they grit their teeth and persist and continue to raise funds? There are serious differences in their development ideas.
There are investors who come to the door, which is a relief for the free element.
Galaxy Investment has successively invested in each group of Weibo of Kaixin.com Autohome in the Internet industry, and it has long been famous.
After He Jun revealed his identity, Zhang Cheng Yukai warmly received him.
He Jun didn't expect his investigation to be so smooth, he didn't ask much questions, the partner of the free element introduced the company in detail like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and Ding Le explained that it was effortless for him to collect background information.
He Jun is good at investing in Internet start-up companies, and this is the first time he has experienced a cultural industry company, especially when he learns that the two founders in front of him are not from professional backgrounds, so he is even more skeptical about whether this company is worth investing in.
After listening to Zhang Cheng Yukai's introduction, He Jun always had such a question in his heart, where did the boss know about this company, but it was difficult to see their drama performance in the imperial capital last time?
Because Ding Le did not give the truth, He Jun did not dare to express his position easily on how this project worked, and after contacting Zhang Cheng Yukai, he quickly fed back the information formation report to Ding Le.
At this time, after two years of contemplation, Ding Le's script "Charlotte's Troubles" was finally completed.
