There is a saying in this world that the ass decides the head.

Although this sentence is a bit vulgar, it can be regarded as one of the typical representatives of rough words.

For example, the same thing will naturally be interpreted differently in the eyes of people in different positions.

Just like this Sheng's acquisition, most companies in the industry have a shocking attitude towards this matter.

What are you amazed at? Of course, it's amazing that Molong Media spends money like water.

You must know that less than half a year ago, Molong Media just announced that it had acquired the entire Xingmei cinema line business from Xingmei Media.

Although both parties to the transaction keep the final transaction price confidential, as the top three cinema chains in China, the valuation of the entire cinema system cannot be hidden.

The industry estimates that the final transaction price of this transaction is likely to be no less than 2.5 billion yuan.

That's 2.5 billion, not 2,500!

As a company that has been established for less than three years, even if it has started financing, it can come up with such a large amount of cash at one time, which also makes the industry quite amazed by the secret heritage of Molong Media.

Although Molong Media's previous valuation has reached 2.5 billion, the company's valuation figure is completely different from the meaning of being able to take out 2.5 billion yuan for large acquisitions.

The former represents the theoretical existing value of a company, but whether it can be successfully realized in the end needs to be decided according to various practical conditions, while the latter represents the inherent strength of the company.

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would sell their entire company and use all the funds to buy another company.

When the acquisition of the cinema chain was completed, although everyone lamented the rapid growth of Molong Media, they were not so shocked, after all, since the restructuring of Li Mo's studio, whether it is film and television or variety show investment, Molong has never been defeated, and it is normal to accumulate a little, not to mention the financing to help the first launch

But after less than half a year, Molong played another big game.

And this time, its appetite is even bigger than last time.

This time, it swallowed up the leader in the field of domestic online literature.

To be honest, most companies in the film and television media industry, although they know that Sheng is a treasure trove of IP and a library of script adaptations, few people will bother to include it under their command.

Not because they don't realize its great value, but because they don't have that need.

The IP in the Holy Book Library is indeed huge, with a complete range of categories, and everything, but for a film and television media company, at least 90% of the content in that library is not suitable for adaptation or onto the screen.

For example, the masterpiece of fantasy literature, the blasphemy of Yanyu Jiangnan, was influential enough at that time, right? The readership is wide enough, right?

So, can such a work be adapted?

Sorry, no!

It is a film set in a Western fantasy setting, not to mention how much investment is needed by domestic film and television companies to reproduce such scenes in film and television works, even if there is really a company that restores it intact regardless of the cost, and the radio and television departments will not come to you for trouble, but other TV or movie audiences other than the original readers, can they understand the worldview and character background of the work?

…… It's really hard to say.

Although the adaptation of any literary work is based on the original work, if it wants to recoup its costs, it must take more and more into account the feelings of non-fan groups and passers-by and audiences who are not affected by the popularity of the original work.

Therefore, in the eyes of most film and television companies, to run to buy a company of Sheng's size because they want to get a certain IP is as exaggerated as running to buy an ocean fishing company just to eat a lobster......

Therefore, the reaction of most companies in the industry to the news of Molong Media's acquisition of Sheng...... In fact, there is no response......

After Molong Media acquired Sheng, Li Mo basically did not make any other personnel changes except for directly replacing the word Shengda on the signboard with Molong......

Wu Wenhui's position as CEO is still solid.

Anyway, except for the fact that Molong Media can be taken care of to a certain extent when buying the adaptation rights, Li Mo only asked Zhong Lifang to send people over to grasp the financial power and personnel, and ignored other daily operations......

People in the film and television industry ran to play favors with people like Wu Wenhui......

I'm afraid it's not ordinary.

As for wanting to follow Li Mo's path?

Hehe, do you know what it means to get the moon first near the water?

Have good IPs waiting for others to discover?

Li Mo himself will start first, okay.

It is conceivable that in the future, on the issue of adaptation rights, it is estimated that many people will be depressed.

…………

It's hard to say how many people will be depressed in the future, at least Lu Yang is quite depressed now.

The reason is very simple, he was scolded in person.

After all, the one who scolded him should still be his teacher.

At least one of the teachers.

The man's name was Zhang Shitao.

He is a full-time associate professor at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, and once served as the head of the directing department.

When Lu Yang was in the Imperial Capital Film Academy, he once gave Lu Yang a few lessons.

According to the practice of the people of the Celestial Empire, even if you have only taught you one word, you can be called a teacher of one word, let alone someone like Zhang Shitao, who has taken several classes.

From the perspective of the people of the Celestial Empire, there is no problem for Lu Yang to treat this as a teacher.

It stands to reason that although these two are close to the friendship between teachers and students, Lu Yang has graduated for so many years, although Zhang Shitao has rich theoretical knowledge, he has not directed any works in the film and television industry, it stands to reason that the two of them should have a relationship that cannot be beaten, and Zhang Shitao should have no chance to be able to fight Lu Yang.

Speaking of which, Lu Yang really provoked this matter himself.

After the completion of the Shura battlefield, I don't know if I ran out of creative passion during the filming process, and with a bunch of shooting materials, Lu Yang didn't know how to edit for a while.

The preliminary cut is three hours long......

Anyone with a little common sense knows that this kind of thing is impossible to deliver.

The Celestial Empire here is not the Cannes Film Festival.

Who are you going to show the three-hour version?

Lu Yang is also self-aware, knowing that if this kind of thing is brought to Li Mo, he will be directly beaten back to redo, or directly deprived of the right to edit, so he simply took some of the materials he edited out and went back to school, wanting to find a fellow senior brother to help him take a look, and then give himself some inspiration and creativity.

Then, when he went to have a good chat with that senior brother today, before he entered the office, he heard an old voice from inside.

"Lu Yang has now completely forgotten what I said at the beginning, look at what his works have become now? The article is lengthy and the clues are cluttered. ”

"The movie is about human nature, it is to sublimate to the depths of people's hearts, and you can't push this kind of thing to the market and put it in front of the audience just because you want to make money!"

Damn, who is this Tama talking nonsense there?
