The 227th Successful Acquisition
At the end of the short film of "Red", when the ending song sounded, everyone came back to their senses, and the sound of discussion filled the entire exhibition hall.
Han Dejiang, who was full of ambition, walked onto the stage and took the microphone and said to everyone in the audience: "Don't leave the venue first! According to the usual practice of the observation meeting, we will invite representatives of various studios and TV stations to come up and talk about their feelings after watching the meeting. Let's first invite Director Cao of Tiangang Film Studio to evaluate the TV series "Red"! Everyone applauds and welcomes!"
Han Dejiang was originally going to let all the studio leaders come to the stage to criticize "Red".
But looking at the atmosphere of the scene, he felt that there was no need for so many people at all, so he simply changed it to a representative to evaluate on stage.
did not surprise him, and the next few representatives on stage were all very optimistic about this TV.
In their analysis, the TV plot is boring, the theme is not clear, and the character creation fails, and it is completely a failed TV series.
And the only advantage of this TV series is that the picture quality is very high, which is comparable to the movie.
But no matter how good your picture is, the plot and story are too bad, and no audience is willing to pay for it.
Wei Qi'an, who originally planned to come to the stage to refute it, had just listened to Peng Yichen's words, and his thoughts in his heart had completely changed.
So he simply didn't go to power.
When the leaders of the Ministry of Culture went up and summed it up, the whole observation meeting was completely over.
The leaders of those studios were complacent and left first.
But whether they can go or not, Peng Yichen doesn't care. After the observation meeting, Peng Yichen directly found several TV station leaders, chatted with them for a few words, asked for their mobile phone numbers, and prepared to contact them later.
Peng Yichen can see that several TV stations are obviously still interested in red.
……
On the evening of the end of the observation meeting, Wei Qi'an personally went to the home of the leader of the Ministry of Culture, who is responsible for managing several of their studios, and discussed with the leader all night.
Although Peng Yichen didn't know what they talked about, he probably guessed the factory director's thoughts from what Wei Qi'an found him and said to him the next day.
Wei Qi'an didn't say much to Peng Yichen, he just asked Peng Yichen, "Does your company intend to acquire Chang'an Film Studio?"
Peng Yichen nodded happily and said, "Yes." ”
"Okay, I'll go back to Chang'an first. You wait for me to come back, and we'll talk. ”
After saying this, Wei Qi'an took a plane back to Chang'an on the same day.
Two days later, Chen Jing Film Company welcomed a group of guests.
This pair is composed of public officials of the Ministry of Culture in charge of the "restructuring of film studios", supervisors of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and several principal leaders of the Chang'an Film Studio.
The purpose of going to Chenjing Film Company is to discuss matters related to the acquisition.
This was a right that Wei Qi'an got in exchange for the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, and the studio agreed to restructure and sell all the assets of the factory to a private company.
But the company to be acquired must be chosen by the studio itself.
Since the observation meeting that day, "Red" was belittled by everyone, and the leaders of the Ministry of Culture have completely lost their hearts to Chang'an Film Studio.
In their view, this factory is just a stumbling block and a drag on their oil bottles, and they must get rid of this burden immediately, so that the limited funds allocated by the state can be concentrated on a few studios.
In this way, we can make a few high-quality main theme movies as soon as possible and add more political achievements to them.
Therefore, the Ministry of Culture quickly agreed to the request of Chang'an Film Studio, and this is why this pair went directly to Chenjing Film Company to discuss the acquisition.
In the company's conference room, on both sides of the conference round table, are the negotiation teams of Chenjing Film Company, the studio and the Ministry of Culture.
On the side of the studio, there is Wu Tianliang, the old director of the studio, who rushed to Kyoto with a weak body.
Although this old man didn't want the studio to be sold like this, he also knew that the general trend was at this time, since he had to sell it, it was better to sell it to Peng Yichen, whom he admired very much.
This is also the reason why he has to come along, he wants to watch the studio be completely handed over to Peng Yichen, which is also the last trip that this old man sent to the studio.
Sitting next to the old director was Yu Weize, the leader of the Ministry of Culture who was responsible for the sale of the studio.
He came from a sports background, and he didn't know much about these company acquisitions and film shooting. So he only made a statement on behalf of the Ministry of Culture at the beginning, and then he almost didn't say a word.
Therefore, the person who finally negotiated with Chen Jing Film Company was Wei Qi'an, the director of the studio.
On the side of Chen Jing Film Company, Peng Yichen sat in the first place, but he didn't talk much, mainly relying on Sun Yizou, the lawyer of the company's legal department, and the invited asset appraiser to negotiate.
After two days of negotiations, the negotiations came to the decision stage, and now the people in the studio have basically agreed to the acquisition plan of Chen Jing.
Before the two parties were ready to sign the contract, Wu Tianliang looked at Peng Yichen and said to the young man very seriously: "I handed over the studio to you." You must develop well and make more good movies. We must not let this brand fall into the hands of our generation!"
Peng Yichen nodded solemnly on his face, "Don't worry, Elder Wu." After the acquisition is completed, I will retain the brand of Chang'an Film Studio. In addition to cooperating with the parent company in the production of films every year. I will also allocate at least 50 million yuan to the studio for film shooting, and the script of the studio's director and screenwriter will immediately support them to shoot as long as it passes the approval of the parent company. Chang'an Film Studio will not only not disappear, but will continue to grow and develop. ”
Hearing his words, the people in Chang'an Film Studio looked at each other and could feel the joy and longing of each other.
After two years of contact, they all know that this 24-year-old is not a man of rhetoric.
Although he seems easy-going on the surface, when it comes to serious things, his calm and mature is far beyond the performance of his age.
This is also the reason why Wei Qi'an was able to convince the owner of the studio to agree to be acquired by Chen Jing Film Company.
As soon as Peng Yichen's words fell, the applause in the conference room was thunderous, and everyone smiled excitedly.
Sun Yizou took off his glasses with a smile, and pressed the frame of his eyes a little tiredly, Chen Jing Film Company finally completed the first acquisition, and the object of the acquisition was still a large state-owned studio like Chang'an Film Studio!
After the initial negotiation was made, the specific contract was quickly drafted.
The legal persons of both parties, Peng Yichen and Wei Qi'an, each wrote their names on the acquisition contract in the presence of lawyers and supervisors of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Although the entire acquisition will have to wait for Chen Jing Film and Television Company to transfer the acquisition fee of 180 million yuan into the corporate account of the Ministry of Culture, it will be truly completed.
But now that the contract has been signed, this matter is a certainty.
Peng Yichen and other people from Chenjing Film Company, with people from Chang'an Film Studio, walked out of the conference room with a smile.
Seeing the expressions on these people's faces and the atmosphere they were getting along with, the employees realized something and couldn't help but whisper excitedly.
Sun Yizou clapped his hands and shouted with a smile: "Everyone pay attention, I want to announce something!"
Seeing the expressions of excitement and pride on the faces of the employees, Sun Yizou was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile: "We have completed the acquisition of Chang'an Film Studio, and we will be a family in the future." Everyone must unite and make more and better movies. ”
Peng Yichen looked at the boiling office and couldn't help but think of the scene when the studio had just been established. Unexpectedly, in just the past two years, his company has been able to acquire large studios.
It was an experience that he could have imagined and gave him more confidence in the future of making truly great commercial blockbusters.
……
The next day, the news of Chen Jing Film Company's successful acquisition of Chang'an Film Studio soon spread throughout China.
Chen Jing Film Company paid more than 100 million yuan (the specific amount is a trade secret) and obtained all the shares of Chang'an Film Studio.
Subsequently, Chen Jing Film Company announced to the outside world that the brand of Chang'an Film Studio will continue to be retained, and the first TV series "Red" filmed by the studio is expected to be broadcast at the end of September.
The media and the industry were shocked, although there have been news that the Ministry of Culture is going to promote the restructuring of state-owned studios over the years, but they have only heard thunder and not seen rain.
So everyone gradually regarded this news as a rumor.
Why did Chen Jing Film Company suddenly buy Chang'an Film Studio?
And that's not the only thing that surprised them.
You must know that Chang'an Film Studio is one of the four major state-owned studios.
Many classic movies shot by the studio have even become the common memories of several generations of Chinese people.
If it was a large company, such as Huimin Film and Television and Lido Film and Television, and a large company would probably not be surprised if it acquired Chang'an Film Studio.
But now Chen Jing Film Company, which has just been established for two years, can come up with more than 100 million cash to acquire a large studio.
In the eyes of many Chinese audiences, this is undoubtedly an ant swallowing an elephant, which is too impactful.
You must know that according to the estimation of many media, the assets of Chen Jing Film Company are only 400 million at most.
It takes a quarter of the company's assets to buy a crumbling old film studio.
"Huaxia Economic News" commented on Peng Yichen for the first time.
"It's not a strange thing that Chang'an Film Studio was sold. After all, in recent years, the state has continued to withdraw from various industries, and it has become a trend to reduce the assets of state-owned enterprises on a large scale. However, I have thought about the behavior of Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company for a long time, and I can only say that this young man's courage is really too great! Such a huge investment is undoubtedly a very risky approach for Chen Jing Film Company. Peng Yichen should calm down, you must know that movies are a high-risk industry. ”
There is also a lot of discussion about this acquisition on the Internet.
Peng Yichen's fans are all very excited about this incident, just like seeing a big drama of "Diaosi counterattack".
And more people are sighing again and again, and the comments of a netizen on Garlic Clove Network are very representative.
He said: "The name Peng Yichen seems to have been flooding us in the past two years. Seriously, I'm tired of watching the news about him that keeps appearing in the entertainment sections of various media and websites. But today, when my mother asked me why I was kneeling at the computer, I told my mother that because the name Peng Yichen actually occupied the commercial version. What else can I do, I'm desperate......"
The media and netizens talked about this acquisition, but Peng Yichen did not care.
For him, the most important thing now is to determine the broadcast channel of "Red" as soon as possible.
