Chapter 1124: Shengtang was spun off and listed

Compared with his previous life, Lucas's status now is indeed beyond his previous life, he did not win the Oscar for Best Director in that era, but with the good box office of a series of "Star Wars" movies, he still became one of the first-line directors, and Cameron and Spielberg are one of the three major Hollywood directors.

Cameron's "Titanic" won a global box office of 2.2 billion US dollars, which was absolutely born in the film market in 98 years, surpassing all other movies in a single class, and then filmed "Avatar", this movie is even stronger, the global box office exceeds "Titanic", even the year Liu Lang was reborn still occupies the first position in the global box office, and no one can shake it.

As for Spielberg, although his films do not have as many box office as Cameron, he is more humanistic, "Schindler's List" won him the Oscar for Best Director, a little golden man is enough to say everything.

In this life, "Titanic" has not yet come out, "Schindler's List" is a script created by Liu Lang, and it has just been released and has achieved a good box office, but the Oscar selection will not be until the end of this year, so the two are far from Lucas in terms of box office and honor.

Not only is Lucas proud, but now the Shengtang Company has also become Hollywood's top entertainment company, and it is not okay to refuse to accept it! As long as the film produced by the Shengtang Company is bound to be a global hit, the box office of $300 million is the lower limit, and the box office is $500 million is the standard.

Looking at the film achievements of Shengtang Company in recent years, it is simply terrifying, with more than 500 million US dollars including "Forrest Gump", "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo", "Vulgar" and "Die Hard" are also close to 500 million US dollars, and the total box office of the movie alone is close to 3 billion US dollars, not to mention the records bought, so far the total income of Shengtang Company has almost reached 5 billion US dollars, and it has obtained a net profit of more than 3 billion US dollars, which is more powerful than the printing press.

In the five months since the release of "Finding Nemo", the market value of Shengtang has increased by nearly 300 million US dollars, reaching 2.2 billion, which is about the same as the market value of Sony.

Shengtang Company is so popular, many companies want to cooperate with them, and the executives don't mind, in addition to the previous two companies Fox and Disney, there are more Warners, and the four companies jointly produce a movie, but there has never been a situation in history, after all, they are rivals, but in front of interests, opponents will become friends.

However, in terms of investment, Shengtang has always been the big head, and each film must at least account for more than 50% of the investment to ensure complete control, of course, so Shengtang's reputation in Hollywood is very good, of course, other companies are also very assured, although they are opponents, but they all admire Liu Lang, his unbridled imagination is not comparable to any creative team, fortunately, this genius has a good personality and knows how to share, if he is a careerist, every movie is independently produced, then there is really no other company to live。

When Liu Lang appeared at the celebration party, everyone at the scene applauded fiercely, screaming loudly, including the CEO of Disney Company such as the upper class, of course, Liu Lang has already become an American high society figure, even if American society has a strong concept of racial discrimination, but Liu Lang is a transcendent "species", his contribution to American pop culture is no less than Michael Jackson, and even faintly beyond the other party, who dares to discriminate against such a person? Don't want to live?

Liu Lang stayed in Hollywood for a week, and set a film record plan for this year and next year with Lin Guodong, Ye Jinsheng, Lucas, and other high-level executives.

Shengtang company has long been on the right track, everything has its own rules and regulations, every department is in order, Liu Lang doesn't have to bother at all, he is most concerned about industrial light and magic, now industrial light and magic is already the world's largest CG special effects production company, there are more than 500 employees alone, with ten production departments, in addition to the production of Shengtang company's films, you can also receive special effects works from other companies.

ILM is led independently by Lin Guodong, in fact, the main business of Shengtang Company is now four parts, record distribution, film production, Comic distribution and industrial light and magic, Lin Guodong, the chief executive, is mainly responsible for industrial light and magic, it seems that his rights are deprived, but only Liu Lang knows, in fact, his business is the most important, because industrial light and magic's special effects technology represents the future, and industrial light and magic also cooperated with VIE Software Development Co., Ltd. to produce a lot of advanced software, in Liu Lang's mind technology is the most valuable thing, whoever masters the technology will master the future.

This time, Liu Lang went to the United States for another purpose, that is, to spin off the four businesses of Shengtang Company and go public, so as to reflect the maximum value of Shengtang Company.

The purpose of this spin-off is to bundle the comic business and the record business into an independent listing, the film business to be listed independently, and the Industrial Light & Magic business to be listed independently.

In terms of shares, Liu Lang alone owns 7 percent of the comics and record business, Mu Xiaohu, Lu Cass, Lin Guodong, and Ye Jinsheng each account for 5 percent, and a few of them account for 30 percent, and Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Jie, two senior executives of the comic business, each hold 3 percent of the shares, and the employees of these two businesses together hold 27 percent of the shares.

The film business is also divided in this way, it can be said that Huo Liu Lang's shares have dropped from the original ten percent to seven percent, and Mu Xiaohu's shares have also dropped a lot, of course, Mu Xiaohu will not have any objections, he has become a billionaire without doing anything for so many years, even if he himself feels a little embarrassed.

As for the business of Industrial Light & Magic, Liu Lang alone owns half of the shares, Lin Guodong owns 7 percent, Catmore and Cheng Xian each own 10 percent, and the four of them together own 47 percent of the shares.

The other executives add up to only 13 percent, which means that the absolute majority shareholder of ILM is Liu Lang.

Liu Lang has no objection to this arrangement, even if he accounts for the majority of the industrial light and magic business, but many people think that Liu Lang is actually at a loss, because the main value of Shengtang is in the two pieces of records and movies, as can be seen from the annual financial report, the film business has made a total of 1.2 billion US dollars in profits over the years, and the record is about 1 billion, and the comics are the worst, less than 70 million US dollars, as for the industrial light and magic, everyone thinks it is very good, but in the capital market, such a company cannot be compared with records and movies, such as VIE Company, even if the company's business is very goodHowever, the annual increase in the capital market is only about 6 or 7 percent, which is only four percentage points higher than the economic development of the United States, while Shengtang has been about 20 percent every year in recent years, which is the pursuit effect of the capital market.

The same is true of the listing of the Lin Commercial Firm, which expects the two businesses of record and comics to reach a market value of $1 billion after listing, while the film business alone has a market value of 1.5 billion to 1.7 billion, and as for Industrial Light & Magic, it may not be higher than $200 million.

In general, the total market value of Shengtang Company will approach 3 billion US dollars after its spin-off and listing, and it is already the largest entertainment company in the United States in terms of total volume.

Listing is a major event of Shengtang Company this year, Lin's firm has sent a team of more than 30 people to be responsible for various audits, fortunately, Shengtang Company does not have any debts, high net profit is scary, such high-quality capital is a resource that the stock exchange hopes to get, so it is much simpler to do, of course, Lin's company will also get more than 10 million US dollars in this business commission.
