Chapter 24: Big News!—4/6

It's okay if you don't explain, as soon as you explain like this, a bunch of scripts will come to your door!

The remuneration offered is also terrifying: 120 million...

What does 120 million pay mean?

It means that the box office of this project will get at least 300 million in order to recover the value of Lu Xiaoran's salary!

Of course, Lao Lu refused...

Not to mention the quality of the script, just this salary is enough for him to drink a pot...

......

"China Movie World, Oriental Movie World, China Movie World Theme Park Complex..."

"How much does it cost to get these three?"

“... At least 20 billion is needed!"

"Approved, these three pieces must be built well, and strive to be a model theme park!"

Back at the company, Lu Xiaoran discussed the live entertainment project with Zhong Lifang...

The three mentioned by Zhong Lifang... They are all unfinished projects that need someone to take over.

As he expected, the media company + IP + live entertainment, which was soaring in the past few years, is basically at a standstill now!

The investment business model of live entertainment is roughly divided into three types: one is self-built investment, where the ticket fees of tourists and the entry fees of merchants are all profit points; the other is joint venture investment, which is the category of Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland, and the profits are naturally divided in half by Sino-foreign cooperative operation;

But no matter what the model, it needs strong capital as support!

In the past two years, a bunch of media companies have made a big push into live entertainment.

More of a hype concept!

Whether it is a characteristic town or a live entertainment, the essence is still speculating on the concept of cultural real estate, in the case of the shortage of traditional industrial land and the price is expensive, the price of acquiring land with a cultural concept such as film and television can be one-half or even one-third of the original.

Part of the land obtained is used for the construction of film and television projects, and more part is for the construction of hotels, restaurants, residences and other supporting facilities.

If the entertainment market has been hot, then there is no big problem, the problem is that the entertainment market has ushered in a cold winter!

No matter how much you hype, no one comes!

The three projects mentioned by Zhong Lifang are actually the projects promoted by Guangguang back then...

It's all over!

The 'China Film World Project' started in Minhang, Shanghai, and every inch of land in Minhang, Shanghai!

Spend 10 billion, there is a fart!

In addition, Guangguang also invested another 10 billion yuan to build the "Guangguang China Film World Theme Park Complex" in Dalian, and also negotiated the "China Film World Project" in Changsha, Hunan, and still invested 10 billion.

These three 10 billions are just lip service and publicity.

Where did you get so much money?

You are not Lu Xiaoran!

Sure enough, halfway through the three projects, there was no money ...

"What did Wanda say?"

“... Lao Wang is in contact with Sun Hongbin of Sunac..."Zhong Lifang continued: "Not only is it a cultural tourism project, he also wants to sell the hotel!"

"I don't want a hotel!"

"So, I mean, should we join forces with Sunac?"

"I'm not a member of the Taishan Society, a joint hand, if he is willing to sell it to me, I will buy it, and if I don't want to, I will pull it, anyway, we don't owe money to the bank!"

......

In 2017, on April 20, Orange Subsidiary issued an announcement: the company invested 20 billion yuan to open a real-life entertainment project, and planned to start construction of two theme parks at the same time, and open the park in 2020...

Why the Big Two?

Because of the impracticality of Minhang, Shanghai, the development of land has become the biggest problem, and there is no land in Minhang District to build real entertainment projects...

The other two are ok...

This is big news, which means that the layout of Orange has entered the live entertainment project!

Another news is the IP mentioned by the theme park: 'The Wandering Earth', 'Walking with God', 'Fengshen Cinematic Universe'...

The first two have appeared in Orange's movie list, what is this 'Fengshen Cinematic Universe'?

Soon, they found it in the film list: "Nezha: The Birth of the Demon Boy", "Jiang Ziya", "Nezha 2", "Yang Jian", "Ji Fa" - "Romance of the Gods: Fengming Qishan" - "The First Stage of the Fengshen Universe";

The second phase has not yet been announced...

As soon as the two news were announced, they immediately triggered fluctuations in the secondary market of Orange Images...

The stock price fell by 3.6%...

In a sense, the public is not very optimistic about live entertainment!

You are a film company, you make movies honestly, what kind of movie town do you do?

These two news fermented, and then, Wanda announced that it would sell 13 cultural tourism projects and 77 hotels for 63.75 billion.

It is said that R&F lowered the price on the spot, and Lao Wang was so angry that he dropped the cup...

13 cultural tourism projects, 43.844 billion yuan transferred to Sun Hongbin, 77 hotels were transferred to R&F Real Estate for 19.906 billion yuan Zhang Li and Li Silian...

are frantically reporting the news of Lao Wang's bankruptcy...

A bunch of people gloating ...

Then, another piece of news went online: Lu Xiaoran bid 20 billion to invest in the Sunac Cultural Tourism Project, accounting for 60% of the shares, and the Sunac Cultural Tourism Project will obtain the exclusive IP authorization of Orange Images...

it!

If Lu Xiaoran doesn't make a move, he will make a move, and when he makes a move, tens of billions are gone!

Also, what are you doing here?

Are you so optimistic about live-action entertainment projects?

Zhong Lifang made it clear in an interview:

Theme parks are online and offline interactions, and Orange has a strong ability to build IP, and we feel that the existing IP usage is far from reaching the potential it should be;

Don't just pay attention to the box office, 30% of a film's healthy income comes from the box office, 70% comes from copyright sales, derivatives, etc., and the Chinese film industry has greatly improved in the latter in recent years, and it is expected that the income of the two will be the same in the future;

Theme parks can develop the usage rate of IP to the extreme, in addition, we have a Songcheng performing arts team...

Also, we do theme parks, and the cultural tourism project is actually the personal investment of Boss Lu, he thought about making a theme park six years ago, but he has not taken action, also because he does not want to occupy the company's capital chain, he sold Netflix shares last year, and he has enough funds to operate these;

Asked why Lu Xiaoran didn't come forward to respond to these, her answer was simpler: "He went to filming, "Detective Chinatown 2", filmed in the United States, and will meet you during the Spring Festival next year!"

......

Lao Lu is indeed filming "Detective Chinatown 2"...

"Tang Detective 2", Su Zhaobin served as the script consultant - no way, the story of "Tang Detective 2" is the same as "Double Pupil", the murderer's motive is completely the same, and they are all to cultivate into immortals.

In order to avoid being accused of plagiarism after the movie was released, Lu Xiaoran could only invite screenwriter Su Zhaobin to participate.

Of course, the core of "Astrology" is to kill people and take away part of the body, not to refine anything, but to disguise themselves as dead and hide that they are the real murderers.

Our "Young Bao Qingtian" and "The Secret of the Hidden Village" are almost copies of "Astrology"...
