Chapter 404: Entertainment Empire (1st Update)
On the other hand, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued an announcement.
As of 5 p.m. yesterday, Dream Performing Arts has successfully acquired 94.06% of TVB's shares, and yesterday was the closing date of the acquisition. ”
At this point, the dust has settled on TVB acquisition rumors.
The announcement issued by the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange, coupled with the news from the official website of Dream Performing Arts, was like a bombshell, detonating the media in the entertainment circles of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even Dongying media reported on it.
Until then, the media has remained speculative.
But now that it has been publicly confirmed, the domestic TV people who learned the news were embarrassed.
Because this incident is not just a simple business merger and acquisition case, but has been interpreted by the media into two versions.
Hong Kong and Taiwan media interpreted it as the end of the Chinese TV legend in Hong Kong.
TVB is the vane of Xiangjiang TV, and behind its rise and fall is a problem that Xiangjiang TV people cannot avoid: the rise and fall of Xiangjiang TV.
The mood of Xiangjiang TV people is complicated, sighing, lost, and a little sour, as if they have lost a toy that has been accompanied from childhood to adulthood, and it seems that they have lost a memory.
In the afternoon of the same day, Nanfang Daily published a commentary article with the title: "Entering Hong Kong TVB, the Asian TV legend injects new blood"
According to the Hong Kong and Taiwan News, "Yang Fei, President of Wanye Investment Group from Huaxia Mainland, has successfully reached an agreement with Mr. Shao Yifu, President of Xiangjiang TVB Group, that Dream Performing Arts will purchase 45.78% of all TVB Group shares and convertible bonds held by Mr. Shao and his daughter for a price of about 6.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. On March 18, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that Dream Performing Arts had successfully acquired 94.06% of TVB's shares.
It is reported that the acquisition will use a total of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”
Some analysts said: "The emergence of this merger and acquisition will become a watershed moment in the strategic change of the Asian TV industry from geography to creation." ”
In any case, today will be an important memory day for Dream Performing Arts and even for the Chinese entertainment industry.
Dream Acting was born!
The speed of its rise is not only unique in the entertainment industry, but also in other industries where capital is rampant, so some authoritative financial media commented on this phenomenon as a "Wanye assault" and praised its chairman Yang Fei as a "capital fast hand"
What does it mean when Wanye Investment owns TVB?
If it is expressed in chronological order, first, TVB is one of the most familiar Chinese production brands overseas, as early as the 70s, it began to devote itself to the production of Chinese TV, and promoted overseas, although he has entered the twilight of his life, but a production company that has cultivated production talents recognized by Hollywood such as the Four Heavenly Kings is a "radio wave" that will never die, which is what the bigwigs of the Chinese TV industry dream of;
Second, TVB is now in the leading position in the Asian film and television industry, and it is needless to say how important the channel hegemony is;
Third, TVB is a listed company, which can achieve resource allocation and capital operation by issuing additional shares, increasing value and expanding shares, replacing assets, joint investment projects, mergers and acquisitions, etc. TVB, which is the leader of Asian television, has also accelerated the pace of TVB's development in mainland China because of its combination with iStrange.
The media has sniffed out Yang Fei's ambitious blueprint.
Dream Performing Arts is going to build a super entertainment empire!
Media reporters across the country wanted to interview Yang Fei, but he hid in the international hotel and played peek-a-boo with reporters.
As a result, at 5 p.m. that day, the TVB company building in Xiangjiang, the headquarters of Dream Performing Arts in Pengcheng, and the Xiangjiang International Hotel were surrounded by hundreds of reporters.
The reporters have the momentum of not accepting interviews and vowing not to give up. You can't rush away, and the reporters are all uncrowned kings.
No way.
Zhao Yaxin, CEO of Dream Performing Arts, came forward to explain to reporters that a press conference will be held.
When the time comes, everyone is definitely invited to be there and let them speak freely, and the reporters left satisfied.
After Dream Performing Arts acquired TVB, coupled with iQiqi's stock price, the total market value soared to 45 billion.
The acquisition of iQiwei is only the first step, the second step is the goal of TVB, and now that TVB is in hand, Dream Performing Arts has TVB online and iQiwei offline, and has its own platform online and offline......
At this point, Yang Fei's entertainment empire began to take shape.
The reporter blocked the entrances and exits of the hotel and couldn't get out, and he couldn't broadcast live today, so Yang Fei could only sit in the room alone and continue to browse other portals.
At this time, the interview with Zhao Xia, the manager of the iStrange Entertainment Department, was imprinted in his eyes.
In this report, Zhao Xia said: "TVB is a legend of Chinese TV, and iQiwei is a young entertainment company, and I hope that in the future, we can inject new ideas into the big platform of TVB to jointly create a new legend in the new era of Chinese TV."
TVB has been developing the entertainment industry in Hong Kong for more than 30 years and is a leader in the television industry in Hong Kong.
iKi is pleased to partner with TVB, combining TVB's valuable experience and established TV platform in the Asian market, which will surely help the Group's TV business reach new heights." In the future, iQiqi hopes to combine TVB's previous production experience and capabilities to create brilliance. ”
Yang Fei also noticed that a special webpage was opened on iQi's official website, with a big title: "Tribute to TVB, tribute to that golden age"
This special report attracted countless netizens, and naturally attracted Yang Fei.
In the special webpage, all the classic films of TVB from 1970 to 2001 are listed in detail, which evokes the collective memories of many netizens.
"It's good or bad to remember that pure era!"
"I miss that simple and happy era, and wish TVB to create more brilliance. ”
"Suddenly, TVB's TV has accompanied me through my childhood!"
"There are a lot of familiar TVs, I'm ashamed, I know that they are all TVB TVs. ”
"When I was a child, I didn't have an Internet café here, no TV, only a small video hall on the street, which showed Hong Kong films, and a small TV that everyone understood. ”
"Bless TVB and Love Bizarre Marriage!"
"I wish TVB to be reborn and make better and more classic TVs!"
