193 800 million financing
Times Pictures finally agreed, willing to sell 20 cinemas to Medal Media.
As Wei Xun said, this is not a negotiation, it is a necessary condition.
If you don't agree, your theater chain can only be controlled by Dynasty Entertainment Online ticketing channels, and Times Pictures will not be able to get the right to release the medal's films.
From "Chinese Partner" to "Charlotte's Troubles", the era has coveted Weixun's movies for a long time.
Because not all filmmakers can make money absolutely guaranteed like the medal, and they have also made terrifying high profit returns.
The scale of the theater chain in the era is average, and the film production has both profits and losses, which can be regarded as so-so, ranking low among the current seven major film companies, and life is tight.
The film industry is booming, but some film production companies have been going downhill.
This is not surprising, because the public has higher requirements for the quality of the movie, and the producer with insufficient strength will be eliminated from the market in the end.
After signing the theater transfer contract, Wei Xun sent Jin Zibo and Hu Zhengxin out, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, rest assured, in the next few days, I will let Changming lead people to connect with the online data of the times." ”
"Trouble Mr. Wei. ”
Jin Zibo smiled reluctantly and said: "For those twenty theaters, I will supervise the completion of the delivery of manpower and medals as soon as possible, there are still a bunch of troublesome things in the company waiting for me to go back and solve, so I won't bother much." ”
Hu Zhengxin couldn't laugh at all.
More than a year ago, when Wei Xun was tricked from the "Chinese Partner" project to catch up with Dynasty Entertainment, he definitely didn't expect to face such a reversal today.
Relying on the cheap sale of theaters to renew the life of the times, after the two presidents go back, they will definitely have a headache about how to appease the rest of the shareholders.
The road after Times Pictures is not easy to walk.
But this is someone else's business, and Wei Xun has no reason to care. After Jin Zibo and the two left, he turned around and went back to the company and pushed open the door of the large conference room.
In the conference room, Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang were sitting and chatting, and when they saw him come in, Chi Sheng asked with a smile, "It's all negotiated?"
In fact, when Wei Xun and Jin Zibo signed the contract just now, Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang had already arrived, but it was inconvenient to show up, and they were brought to the conference room by Mao Bin.
Wei Xun "negotiated, twenty large and medium-sized theaters." ”
Hearing this, Hang Gaoyang praised: "Amazing." ”
As the president of Tianguang Media, in the past two or three years, he has witnessed how Wei Xun has risen all the way.
Now, the medal has not only begun to control the online ticket market, but also theaters.
"Compared to you, it's just a drizzle. Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about today's business." ”
The so-called business, of course, is the matter of financing panda tickets to buy tickets.
This is also the purpose of Chi Sheng and Hang Gaoyang coming here today.
A few minutes later, Gu Changming walked in with a computer.
Then, Xiang Yang, the scheduling manager of Guanchi, as well as the financing team, and Tianguang's related team, seven or eight people sat down on both sides of the conference room.
Wei Xun nodded at Gu Changming, and before the projection screen was opened, he said with a smile: "Everyone, before showing the new function of panda ticket purchase, I want to talk about the channel of panda, as of this morning, we have opened up half of the movie theaters in the entire Huaxia. ”
At present, the number of theaters in the entire Huaxia is about 6,000, and half of it has been opened, that is, at least 3,000 theaters have reached online cooperation with Panda Ticketing.
Obviously, the fatal mistake of the ticketing gang this time made Panda Ticketing begin to rise completely.
Next to him, Gu Changming turned on the projection and connected his mobile phone.
The icon of the Panda Ticketing App is projected on the projection screen of the conference room.
Gu Changming handed over the phone to Wei Xun, and then found a place to sit down.
Wei Xun met everyone's eyes and smiled: "In recent months, Changming has made several new functional optimizations and improvements for panda ticket purchase, the first function is positioning. For example, if you want to watch the movie "Once Upon a Time", enter the name of the movie in the search box, and Panda will automatically select the nearest cinema for you to buy tickets, and if you don't know the route, Panda also has a navigation plan. ”
Targeting pushes?
Ji Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It's very humane." ”
"This optimization of Panda Ticket Purchase is to start from the customer experience and strive to be humanized in every aspect. ”
Wei Xun smiled and said, "The second function is called online seat selection. In other words, we will present the seating situation of the cinema hall directly to the customer. At home, customers can lock in the location they want to choose in the theater. ”
On the projection screen, a seating plan of a theater appears.
This time, there was quite a commotion in the entire conference room.
You know, in another world, when the online seat selection function first came out, I don't know how many industry peers and audiences were amazed.
Hang Gaoyang exclaimed: "Sure enough, starting from customer experience, is this online seat selection system costly?"
"This system is independent of the theater system, and it only needs to access the seat data, but it can also be completely replaced, so it depends on the meaning of the theater. ”
Wei Xun said: "Customers who buy tickets through our system can get tickets without queuing up at the ticket counter when they arrive at the theater, and can print movie tickets in front of the ticket machine provided by Panda Ticketing, and the ticket machine of the seat selection system is relatively expensive, and a ticket machine is about 10,000 yuan." ”
10,000 yuan for a unit may not seem high, but thousands of movie theaters, plus system updates, maintenance, laying, human and material resources will be consumed.
To buy tickets online, you have to fight for channels, for the source, for funds, and for ticket compensation.
Therefore, it is necessary to pull a few companies with strong funds to enter the market to help share the pressure, and the financing is conducive to a balanced distribution of equity ratio, paving the way for Panda to go public in the future.
This time, neither Chi Sheng nor Hang Gaoyang spoke, obviously thinking about the cost.
"I'm talking about the third feature, the scoring system. After customers buy tickets and watch a movie at Panda, they can rate the movie and post a movie review. In the future, Panda ticket purchase will integrate the functions of online ticket purchase and film evaluation, and online seat selection and positioning navigation will be the features of online ticket purchase, leaving all the ticketing software on the market far behind. ”
"Panda Ticketing will become the largest distributor of online ticketing, and our large customer base will also make Panda eligible to participate in film distribution and become the largest virtual cinema company in China. ”
Wei Xun smiled: "Our goal is that in five years, for every three movie tickets sold in Huaxia, one of them must be from Panda." ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell completely silent.
Everyone was stunned by the prospect described by Wei Xun.
Ji Sheng's face became solemn and asked, "How much money do you need?"
Wei Xun smiled: "At least 800 million." ”
