Chapter 147: Opportunities and Crises in the Special Effects Industry
At the beginning, Shan Huatang made a plan to open a special effects department in the company, which was not only responsible for the special effects production of his own company's TV dramas, but also the special effects production of cooperative films.
But with the arrival of Wen Ziren, the plan had to be changed.
Before deciding to join the gold medal soft rice and serve as the manager of the special effects department, Wen Ziren made a request to Shan Huatang, that is, in the future, he must start a professional special effects company, and it must be fast.
Shan Huatang was very curious at the time and asked, "In the future, I have considered opening a company specializing in special effects, but I think it will be at least a year or two later, why do you think it should be fast?"
As far as the current available funds of Gold Medal Soft Rice are concerned, it is not difficult to open a special effects company, but once this money is spent, there is not much money left, and once you want to invest in a big project, it will not work.
Therefore, if Wen Ziren can't give a special reason, Shan Huatang will definitely not agree.
Wen Ziren narrated his analysis.
"At present, there are not many special effects companies in China, and they are basically at the middle and lower level, if there is a professional special effects company at this time, there will definitely be film production companies to spend money for high box office, this is our opportunity. ”
"Any industry pays attention to market share, if we start a professional special effects company, then in the professional field, we are the first, will become the focus of the industry. ”
"Due to the strong production of foreign special effects companies, many domestic films will choose to cooperate with them to improve the quality of the special effects of the film, so if there is an equally powerful special effects company in China, the first choice of domestic films must be domestic, after all, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, in addition, if our price is lower than that of foreign special effects companies, then it is bound to attract some foreign films, after all, who doesn't like to save money?"
"As long as the development is good, I have absolute confidence to build our special effects company into one of the top in the world. ”
"But as far as I know, some of the top foreign special effects companies are already preparing to open branches in our country, and once they are established, it will be difficult for us to occupy market share. ”
"So all we have to do now is be fast. ”
Shan Huatang did not reply immediately after hearing this.
Wen Ziren makes sense, because domestic special effects have always been a very big criticism.
Many films claim to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the audience thinks that the special show will be very good, but in the end, it is still a five-cent special effect.
If a professional special effects company emerges at this time, which can produce special effects for ten, hundred, or even one thousand yuan, it is bound to become a sought-after company and the first choice for many film producers.
However, if a foreign special effects company does open a branch in China, then at least 90% of the market share will be occupied.
So it is indeed fragrant buns to set up a special effects company as soon as possible.
However, Shan Huatang must take into account the actual situation.
At the beginning, the movie "32 Days of Broken Love" was released, and the profit brought offline was 200 million, and the current online income was 150 million, and the final profit was about 350 million.
Later, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "The Devil's Patriarch's Chen Qing Ling" were put into filming, which will end in the near future, and the amount spent is about 200 million, which is still not counting the publicity and promotion expenses, if it is counted, it is estimated that it will be 300 million.
Among them, 100 million was paid for the gold medal soft rice, and the other 200 million was invested by Wang Xukun and sponsors.
Now, the two variety show talent shows "Youth Tiantuan Talk" and "Happy Boys" are invested in production, with an investment of no less than 100 million, of which Gold Medal Star Art and Gold Medal Tianyu, that is, Gold Medal Soft Rice, are from 50 million, and the other 50 million are joint ventures by sponsors.
Excluding the 150 million invested, the available funds for the gold medal soft rice are only 200 million.
Although the franchise fee plus the rest of the company's business income is nearly 100 million, it is only 300 million.
And to start a professional enough special effects company, not 100 million can do? This is still less to say.
Once this special effects company is opened, there is no project to gain income in the short term, so the entire gold medal soft rice can only survive on the remaining 200 million.
Don't look at 200 million, it seems to be a lot, once you encounter something like spending money, it is as fast as flowing water, and it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
And once you encounter a good project, you need to invest a lot, and if you don't have enough money, you can only miss it.
Money, still too little.
There is a way to start a special effects production company for less money, and that is a joint venture.
Find a few investors and open a joint stock limited company, and the capital invested in Gold Soft Rice can be small, 50 million at most.
But here's the way to go.
Everyone knows how popular special effects companies are, and Shan Huatang doesn't want to share the money with those investors.
Why give it to someone else when it can go into your own pocket?
Stupid?
So this program PASSES.
After the meeting, Shan Huatang returned to the office, and he began to ponder, pondering and pondering, not only wanting to open this special effects company, but also fearing that something unexpected would happen.
Now the gold medal soft rice is not very stable in general, and the big investment has not yet made a profit, and now he is worried that there will be a break in the funds.
Although it won't happen if there is no accident, I'm afraid that it will happen.
It's also the first time he's made a lot of money!
Shan Huatang wrote down 300 million and 100 million respectively for comparison.
One is 300000000, one is 100000000, one is 3, and one 1 doesn't seem to make much difference.
If something really happens, is there a difference between 300 million and 200 million?
Since there is not much difference, what else is there to worry about?
It's all over now!
He immediately summoned Wen Ziren again.
When the meeting ended, Wen Ziren, who returned to his post, was apprehensive, when he first joined the company, Shan Huatang said that he would vigorously develop the special effects department and open a special effects company in the future, but he did not say that it would be opened in the near future.
In any company, big projects are long-term and will not be hastily decided.
When he mentioned it today, he was afraid that Shan Huatang would not agree with him, so he was worried.
Of course, what he is worried about is not being wearing small shoes, the big deal is leaving, anyway, when he arrives in China, he is a fragrant bun, and foreigners are vying for it.
What worries him is that this boss can't see current events clearly.
Those huge mouths abroad have been opened, and if no one at home carries the banner, then the country's special effects will always be pressed by foreign countries.
Why?
Although those foreign special effects companies want to open branches in China, they do not plan to share the technology, once they occupy the market, then the domestic special effects company does not need its own, the future of the domestic special effects industry will be monopolized by these foreign-funded enterprises.
So when Shan Huatang summoned him, he decided to propose to start a special effects company in half a year.
I hope it's time for half a year.
I ended up in the office.
"Shan Dong. ”
"Open, open immediately. ”
"Huh?"
"Special effects company, I approved it, this project will start immediately!"
Wen Ziren was stunned.
