528, the last hope?
Cao Wenyu sighed and shook his head: "The current situation is not something that can be alleviated by you apologizing, in addition, if you think about it from another perspective, if you were Hu Shuo, would you withdraw your troops here?"
"What's the point of a business war? just to make the opponent apologize??"
Cao Wenyu had a wry smile on his face: "Actually, things have developed to the way they are now, and I also have an unshirkable responsibility, I underestimated Hu Shuo and his creation entertainment, and at the same time, I am also ......"
Speaking of this, Cao Wenyu glanced at his son sitting opposite and swallowed back the words behind him.
In fact, he overestimated his son, before the war with Hu Shuo, the development of the Wenyu Group under the leadership of Cao Zechu was smooth, Cao Wenyu thought that he could retire with peace of mind, and he was also more sure of Cao Zechu's work ability.
But in fact, the reason why Wenyu Group has developed smoothly under the leadership of Cao Zechu is mainly that Cao Wenyu has laid a solid foundation for Wenyu Group, and all links have been opened, and Cao Zechu only needs to lead the group to run on the inherent track.
Therefore, in this state, Cao Wenyu couldn't help but overestimate his son's work ability, so when he was about to start the battle with Hu Shuo, although Cao Wenyu was a little worried, he didn't try his best to stop it, which caused the group to fall deeper and deeper until it became what it is now.
"Apologize doesn't work, so what should I do?"
When the group reached the critical juncture of life and death, Cao Zechu seemed a little overwhelmed and completely out of ideas.
"Break your arm to protect yourself!"
Cao Wenyu spit out these four words lightly.
At present, Wenyu Group has two pillar industries, one is Wenyu Film and Television Base, and the other is Wenyu Cinema Line.
These two major industries can be described as the right-hand man of Wenyu Group, and now Cao Wenyu said "self-protection with a broken arm", then it is undoubtedly necessary to sell off one of the pillar industries, and only in this way can Wenyu Group continue to survive.
However, after hearing the words "self-protection with a broken arm", Cao Zechu seemed to have been struck by lightning, he knew the importance of these two industries to Wenyu Group, and also knew the efforts made by his father to lay down this country!
However, due to his conceit and arrogance, the group is facing the situation of having to break his arm to protect himself, and Cao Zechu's mood at this time can be imagined.
"From the last time you went to see Hu Shuo, it seems that Hu Shuo has a fancy to our cinema chain, so if we want to make peace with him, we can only sell most of the shares of the cinema chain, or sell the entire cinema chain to him. Cao Wenyu spoke again.
Cao Zechu didn't say anything, last time he went to Hawaii to talk to Hu Shuo about peace, and the latter put forward a request to acquire Wenyu Cinemas, but at that time, Wenyu Group still had the strength to fight, far from being like now, so Cao Zechu naturally decisively refused.
According to Hu Shuo's attitude at the time, Cao Wenyu's analysis should be correct, if you want to make peace with Hu Shuo, then you can only sell Wenyu Cinema to him, which should be the basic bargaining chip for reconciliation.
"Is there really no other way?"
Cao Zechu's face was unwilling.
"If we can also make a movie with a box office and influence comparable to "I Am Not the God of Medicine", there may be a turnaround. ”
Cao Wenyu said.
“……”
Cao Zechu smiled bitterly, the final box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is ranked third in Chinese film history, and its actual influence should be ranked first in Chinese film history, after all, due to the release of this movie, some of the country's drug policies have been changed, and the price of drugs reflected in the movie has also been greatly reduced, this influence actually exceeds the top two "Heroes" and "Soul of China" in the box office of Chinese film history!
And such achievements are unattainable, and various factors are needed to achieve such results, so the success of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" cannot be replicated!
It is almost impossible to make another movie with the same influence, even Hu Shuo himself cannot replicate a "miracle of the God of Medicine", let alone their Wenyu Group.
In particular, since the end of last year, Wenyu Group's revenue has shrunk significantly, and the number of film projects invested by the company's main control this year has also been greatly reduced, and there are no works with huge investment, so the possibility of box office explosion works is naturally greatly reduced.
In fact, in the current Huaxia film market, there is only one company like Chuangshi Entertainment that has an output compared to Hu Shuo.
It's not that there are no things that are small and big, but there are very few, and every one of them is something that can be met but not sought, and like Hu Shuo, the miracle that you can win billions of box office by investing 30 or 50 million casually has not appeared before.
"Now that the group wants to turn over, the only hope is that there will be phenomenal works, if the film project is not good, if there can be a TV series with such an impact as "Love Apartment", it can also temporarily alleviate the situation of the group. ”
Cao Wenyu said again.
"Alas, it's difficult!"
Hearing this, Cao Zechu sighed again, the first and second seasons of "Love Apartment" continued to be popular, and it has become a big IP of domestic dramas, and it can also be said to be one of the cash cows of Genesis Entertainment.
At that time, the second season of "Love Apartment" had just finished broadcasting, and it topped the list, and the valuation of this IP output alone was as high as 5 billion!!
If Wenyu Group can come up with an IP series with such an impact, of course, it will stop the bleeding.
But like "I Am Not the God of Medicine", it is not easy to create a film and television drama with such an influence as "Love Apartment"!
"If movies and TV series can't work, if we can create a phenomenal variety show, maybe we can also reverse the current situation a little, just like "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb"!"
For a comprehensive entertainment company like Wenyu Group, movies, TV series, and variety shows are the three main forces in creating revenue, and if movies and TV series are not good, then they can only hope for variety shows.
"Variety show??"
When it comes to variety shows, Cao Zechu's eyes lit up, because Wenyu Group has always had good results in the field of variety shows, and he also holds the copyrights of two variety shows that have been popular.
Moreover, there is currently a variety show with a large investment scale in production, so Cao Wenyu's sudden mention of variety shows gave him a wake-up call.
"Variety shows may really have a show!"
Cao Zechu, who was originally full of sadness, finally showed a look of expectation.
"Variety shows can??"
Cao Wenyu has not managed the company's specific business recently, so he is not very familiar with some of the projects that the company is working on, and his current focus is actually on the Wenyu Film and Television Base.
Because after Wenyu Group showed a huge decline, Cao Wenyu had already thought about the group's back road, that is, to hold the Wenyu Film and Television Base, which is the hole card of Wenyu Group and one of the few physical projects owned by Wenyu Group.
"Wang Dade, he is producing a variety show, and now he should have completed half a season of content, perhaps, we can launch the show he produced as soon as possible, if it can really achieve the results he said when he submitted the project, it will be a shot in the arm for the group!"
Wang Dade is the ace producer of Wenyu Group, and he has produced variety shows that are popular all over the country, so Cao Zechu is quite confident in the variety show he is producing.
