Every country has some specific styles of cinema chains, mainly showing art films, independent films, etc., the scale of these cinema companies is not very large, but because of the unique style, the attendance rate is not very low.

Especially in France, a country born with romantic genes, at least the general cinema chain is dominated by showing art films.

Even if Hollywood's commercial blockbusters arrive in France, there may not be some classic art films produced on a small budget.

Similarly, there are similar art cinemas in Huaxia, and the Art Garden Cinema Line is one of them.

It's just that with the economic development of China and the progress of the times in the past ten years, art theaters in China have become less and less popular, and the attendance rate has declined rapidly.

Although Yang Ming did not let Oriental DreamWorks take the route of shooting art films in the future, he had several in-depth conversations with the old dean, and the more people he came into contact with in the film industry, he found that there was still no shortage of art film markets in the Chinese film market.

China is a vast land with a large population, accounting for one-fifth of the world's population, and there are fans who like commercial blockbusters, so naturally there are also audiences who like art films.

Even if the proportion of viewers who just like art movies is very small, it is a lot of data when put into the terrifying population of China.

Therefore, Yang Ming thought twice and felt that DreamWorks still had to get involved in the art film market.

Besides, it is impossible for a film company to make money purely by shooting commercial blockbusters, and it must also come up with some art films to improve its style.

Otherwise, after waiting for more than ten years, people only have the impression that Oriental DreamWorks will mention, that is, this is a film company that can make money, not a film company that can make good movies.

If you want to set foot in the art film market, then you must have the support of a special art theater chain, and the general theater chain will basically not show those art films that make people sleepy in the eyes of the public.

The Yiyuan Cinema Line under Huaxia Brothers Media is a cinema chain specializing in the release of art films.

To tell the truth, the Art Garden Cinema Line was not in Yang Ming's acquisition target, but who told Shangguan Tian to take the initiative to send it to Yang Ming this time? If he didn't kill him, he would really be sorry for himself.

You must know the scale and history of the Art Garden Cinema Line, but it is much larger than the previous target that Yang Ming wanted to acquire.

Shangguan Tian's brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't expect Yang Ming to buy Yiyuan Cinema.

Yiyuan Cinema Line, which has a total of more than 100 theaters, and the equipment is old, the environment is not good, each theater has a maximum of two or three theaters, and even many theaters have one theater.

There are more than 100 theaters, and the number of screens is only more than 200.

In the eyes of Huaxia Brothers Media, it is not worth mentioning at all.

"What? Oriental DreamWorks is interested in making some achievements in art films?" Shangguan Tian said with questions.

In the past two or three years, Oriental DreamWorks has proved their success in commercial films with the success of several of their films, even Shangguantian, one of the six major film giants in China, has to admit that although Oriental DreamWorks is just a new film company, it has been the most successful in film reform and how to make local films that are more popular with the audience.

The success of Oriental DreamWorks has also given a better example and example to other local film companies in China.

In this regard, Huaxia Brothers Media naturally studied the success of Oriental DreamWorks.

Now that Yang Ming suddenly said that he wants to acquire an art theater company, is it possible to return to the old way of local films in the next development trend?

Yang Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw Shangguan Tian's expression, pretended to sigh, and said: "Hey, President Shangguan, you don't know that every time I go back to the academy, I am carried by the old dean and criticized, in his old eyes, my movie can't be regarded as a movie, in desperation, in order to satisfy his old man's meaning, I want to buy an art theater chain and support the development of art films." ”

He really didn't say this wrong, and he didn't hide what he meant.

Naturally, his acquisition of art theaters is not for making money, if he wants to make money, he might as well make one or two commercial blockbusters.

Shangguan Tianyan thought about it, the current form of domestic films is bound to take the trend of blockbuster special effects production, and those unfathomable art films will definitely not become the mainstream, it seems that he is really too worried.

And in his impression, the old guys in the film academy are really like Yang Ming said, pretending to be high and looking down on commercial movies.

But even so, Shangguan Tian will not easily let go of the art garden cinema.

Since the other party needs it, then this is the bargaining chip.

But before he could speak, Yang Ming seemed to have seen Shangguan Tian's thoughts, and said leisurely: "If President Shangguan is really reluctant to switch to the art garden cinema line, then I won't be strong, I will buy other art theaters, anyway, it's not a big deal." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Tian's expression was as if he was choking on food, and he was so uncomfortable that he was going to die.

Wen Jingtao sat on the side and saw Shangguan Tian look like this, he almost burst out laughing, this old guy was actually molested by a hairy young man one day.

Come to think of it, the art theater chain is not a big deal in the first place, at best it is a business of one or two hundred million.

Even if Yang Ming can't get the art garden theater line, he can also go to acquire other art theaters, even if the scale of other art theaters can't catch up with the art garden, but the acquisition of two and then merging into one is definitely not less than the scale of the art garden theater line.

This old guy still wanted to take care of this aspect, but he didn't expect that before the words came out, he was directly blocked back.

Although Wen Jingtao wanted to laugh, he felt a chill in his heart, and the person opposite him obviously had an old age that did not match his age.

No wonder Li Hongyi of the previous company was planted in the hands of this young man.

Heroes are teenagers.

It seems that if you want to win the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com without any blood this time, it is obviously an impossible thing.

However, he and Shangguan Tian have the same idea, that is, as long as Yang Ming is willing to negotiate, the price is negotiable, negotiating, isn't that it?

Yang Ming saw through Shangguantian's idea of using the art garden cinema line, and asked the other party not to have the psychology of negotiating with this in one sentence.

Next, the two sides have been grinding on the price, after all, Maoyan Movie and Time.com are now assets belonging to Yang Ming, and the initiative is in his hands.

For the offer of 2 billion, he has always refused to let go, and even if he does, it is a slow decline of 10 million 10 million, and he almost didn't scold Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao angrily.

This Nima is a negotiation, this is definitely slaughtering, oh no, it should be slaughtered like fat pigs by Brother Media and Baoli Company.

If 2 billion can buy all the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com, then forget it, who knows that they spent 2 billion, but they can only buy 49% of the shares, and they are divided between the two of them, which makes Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao acceptable.

But it is impossible for Yang Ming to give up his control of Maoyan Movies and Time.com, after all, these two companies have been established with a lot of painstaking efforts.

Oh, now that it's going to bear fruit, you'd better pick the ready-made fruit with your hands.

There is no such cheap thing in the world.

Whenever Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao said that Maoyan Movie and Time.com were definitely not worth the price, and they said that they wanted to find a professional to evaluate, Yang Ming would say leisurely:

"If Brother Media and Polaroid really can't afford this price, I don't mind going to Victory Pictures and Royal Entertainment. ”

Whenever Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao heard Yang Minglai's words, they hated it, but they had nothing to say.

What can be said?

If Yang Ming really goes to find those two giants, in case those two giants are hot-headed, we are not short of money, and we really eat the shares in Yang Ming's hands, and the two of them don't even have a place to cry.

Putting pressure on Yang Ming as a newcomer and putting pressure on three film companies are completely different concepts.

And two of them are still giants that do not belong to them in terms of strength, even if Oriental DreamWorks has a thin foundation, it can't lose too much to these giants in terms of influence.

In the next few days, the three companies have been negotiating around the acquisition of shares in Maoyan Films and Time.com.

It's just that the more he goes to the back, the more resolute Yang Ming's attitude becomes, that is, he will not give in.

This made Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao helpless.

The most critical point is that Yang Ming's Maoyan Movie and Time.com are the emperor's daughters at all, and they don't have to worry about getting married.

It is impossible for the two of them to be the only long-term visionary in the domestic film industry, and there must be other people who realize that with the passage of time, Maoyan Films and Time.com will have more and more influence in the film market.

If Yang Ming really released the news, Brother Media and Baoli Company wanted to acquire the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com, and other film companies would definitely gather around like sharks seeing blood.

In addition to Zhonghuang Entertainment and Huaying Group, Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao can guarantee that it is impossible to interfere in this acquisition, and other film companies, the two of them really have no confidence to guarantee that others will not interfere.

In particular, Victory Pictures and Royal Entertainment, both local film giants, cannot hope that companies that can threaten their interests are in the hands of others.

Yang Ming also attaches great importance to this acquisition, and since he has decided to sell a part of the shares, he will not think too much.

If it is put in normal times, he can drag it out for a few months at will to maximize the benefits.

But now that he is targeting the copyright library of Huaying Group, then the action must be fast, and there will be many dreams at night, in case Huaying Group suddenly declares bankruptcy tomorrow, but he does not have enough funds in his hands, then the fun will be great.

1.6 billion Chinese dollars in cash.

Maoyan Films and Time.com each have 30% shares.

In addition, Yang Ming promised that in the next two years, he will also transfer 30% of the shares to the other two giants.

Originally, Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao could not accept that the two of them only got a total of 30% of the shares, but they spent 1.6 billion yuan in cash, which was too expensive, and they did not get enough right to speak.

30% of the shares, divided equally between the two companies, that is, 15%.

However, Yang Ming still has 70% of the shares in his hands, and he can completely play with their two film companies.

But when Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao saw Yang Ming's third condition, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they applauded Yang Ming's idea.

In other words, Yang Ming's wisdom made them feel that this young man was really incredible.

According to this young man's assumption, two years later, Maoyan Film and Time.com will be held by five film companies.

Brother Media, Polaroid Corporation, Victory Pictures, and Royal Entertainment each hold 15% of the shares, while Oriental DreamWorks has the largest stake with 40%.

But the other four companies will not be puppets for the board of directors to play with.

In case Oriental DreamWorks really wants to do something angry, the other four companies can unite and suppress Oriental DreamWorks.

When this condition was put forward, Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao couldn't help but praise Yang Ming's cleverness, or reality.

Oriental DreamWorks was worthless to the film industry three years ago, and even now, in the eyes of some other film companies, it is still not taken seriously, including some second-tier film companies.

After all, whether it is Oriental DreamWorks or Yang Ming, a young man, his qualifications in the film industry are too shallow.

If Oriental DreamWorks only relies on its own success to achieve repeated success in the film market, although it will attract the envy and envy of some people, it will not attract public anger.

But if all the studios realize that every movie they make, whether it is in terms of distribution terminal sales or word-of-mouth, Oriental DreamWorks is enough to threaten their ability, then this will definitely attract all the studios.

For Oriental DreamWorks, Maoyan Movies and Time.com are like toddlers swaggering outside with gold nuggets, how can it not attract everyone's greed?

In other words, no matter which of these two companies is controlled by one company, it will attract the target of all the other film companies.

Even the giants are no exception.

In the past, Maoyan Movies and Time.com were inconspicuous, but with the potential exposed by these two companies, it is enough to prove that these two companies will become more and more important in the film market in the future, and it is absolutely impossible not to attract greedy eyes.

There is giving, there is gain.

According to Yang Ming's plan, Maoyan Film and Time.com are respectively controlled by the Big Four and Oriental DreamWorks, and even if there are other film companies that want to target, they must consider the strength of the five companies.

After Yang Ming put forward these three main conditions, he made it clear that this was his bottom line and would never change again, if he wanted to talk about it, if he didn't talk about it, he would go to Shengli Pictures and Royal Entertainment.

It really doesn't work, he would rather spin off his shares and transfer them to second-tier film companies.

Even in Yang Ming's view, it is better to sell to second-tier film companies than these giants, because he believes that after ten years, Oriental DreamWorks will be the largest film giant in China, with a group of younger brothers, and undoubtedly has more right to speak.

But now that he is the first to be targeted by Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao, Yang Ming can only maximize his interests at present.

Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao saw these conditions put forward by Yang Ming, which can be called a lion's mouth, and the two convened everyone below to discuss for a day, and finally decided to agree to the acquisition.

Each company is 800 million Chinese yuan, and they will get 15% of the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com.

On the day of the signing, when the two signed their names on the agreement, Shangguan Tian gloated a little and said to Wen Jingtao:

"I don't know how much Victory Pictures and Royal Entertainment will pay to get 15% of the shares at that time!"

Wen Jingtao replied when he heard this: "It is estimated that they will vomit blood!"

Then, both of them looked at Yang Ming with envious eyes.
