Chapter 1027: Counterfeiting Turmoil
The height at which a person stands determines that there will be a big difference in his line of sight.
If it was put in his previous life, with Yang Ming's character at that time, it would be impossible for him to create a promising cat's eye movie with his own hands, share such a big piece of cake, let others participate, and share his right to speak.
However, after the training of this life, Yang Ming has slowly changed his previous thoughts on the layout of business.
Will Cat's Eye Movies be a success?
There is no doubt about this answer, as Maoyan movies have become the mainstream way for young people to buy movie tickets, and the cash flow has skyrocketed repeatedly, this mobile phone application has become the most optimistic potential stock of many well-known fund companies.
For such a company with a bright future, Yang Ming has to give up such a big piece of cake and share it with others, which is both helpless and the trend of the times.
The entertainment industry says that development is also very open, but it is also very closed to say that it is closed.
Once Maoyan Films has developed enough to influence future film distribution and box office trends, it is impossible for those movie giants to ignore the influence brought by this company.
If Yang Ming sternly refused to allow other giants to join, he could fully imagine what kind of measures Shangguantian, Wen Jingtao, and Cao Mengsheng would take next.
It is inevitable that they will start anew and re-open a company that imitates Maoyan Movies, and compete with Maoyan Movies to compete for the number of users.
And in this process, the cinema under the cinema chain will naturally be the focus of competition between the two sides.
At this point, Oriental DreamWorks, which has just been established for four years, will definitely not be comparable to several giants in terms of personal relationships.
Therefore, Yang Ming thought about it again and again, and discussed with Liu Xinsheng and Barber for a long time before deciding to transfer part of the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com, as long as Oriental DreamWorks can occupy the most shares, it is still a major shareholder.
In fact, compared with Liu Xinsheng, Barber is more of this kind of business model of sharing risks and making profits together.
After all, this kind of financing and equity merger is the mainstream business model in the United States.
To maximize the interests of the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com, as early as today, the senior management of Oriental DreamWorks had already made a plan, and Yang Ming is now holding it just to maximize the benefits.
It's just that so far, Yang Ming's transfer of part of the shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com is only limited to East Asia.
As for the United States and Europe, they are not included in Yang Ming's cooperation agreements with several giants.
In this regard, even if Shangguan Tian, Wen Jingtao and Cao Mengsheng were dissatisfied, they could only look at them helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.
What are you kidding, since these people can see the influence of Maoyan Movies and Time.com on the film industry, those foreign film giants will definitely notice it, in this case, how can foreign film giants allow Maoyan Movies and Time.com, which are enough to affect the pattern of the local film industry, to be in the hands of a group of foreign film companies?
If Huaxia Brothers Media and Baoli really want to get involved, the best outcome will be a lose-lose situation.
Of course, Yang Ming will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
According to Barber's reaction, several Hollywood film companies and fund companies have contacted him to discuss cooperation between these two emerging new media companies.
In Barber's heart, after a period of preparation, two or three companies will be selected to cooperate.
These two or three companies must not only have a decisive influence in Hollywood, but also have a certain influence in the financial circles of the United States, enough to help Oriental DreamWorks shelter from the wind and rain.
Otherwise, how could Oriental DreamWorks be so kind, not only make money for itself, but also share part of the profits.
Without strong strength, it is impossible to become a partner of Oriental DreamWorks in this sharing of benefits.
The next day, after a full day of detailed negotiations, Oriental DreamWorks and Royal Entertainment reached a cooperation agreement.
Royal Entertainment successfully obtained 10% of the original shares of Maoyan Films and Time.com from Oriental DreamWorks.
And the price they paid was 800 million Chinese yuan, plus 20% of the shares of "East Asia Film Weekly".
Compared with Huaxia Brothers Media and Baoli Company, Royal Entertainment paid the same price, but could only get fewer shares, but Cao Mengsheng and the senior management of Royal Entertainment not only did not feel unhappy, but rather happy and annoyed.
I was annoyed that I was late to do it, but I was glad that I finally got the shares of Maoyan Movies and Time.com, and got a certain right to speak.
In fact, yesterday, after Yang Ming said that after Huaxia Brothers Media and Baoli Company joined the cooperation, the market value of Maoyan Film and Time.com skyrocketed a lot, Cao Mengsheng naturally would not believe Yang Ming's words so easily.
And Cao Mengsheng learned from his friend that Time.com is okay, and the market value will not rise too much in the near future, but Maoyan Movies may not be.
Maoyan Movie is destined to be a new media software that changes traditional social habits, and also pushes the business electronics intelligence forward a big step, with great social influence, and many well-known funds and venture capital companies are very optimistic about the development prospects of Maoyan Film.
When Cao Mengsheng heard these words, he couldn't help but be startled, the real market of the cat's eye movie is more optimistic than what Yang Ming said.
In particular, he also realized that if Royal Entertainment also became a shareholder of Maoyan Films, this would inevitably add another booster to the development of Maoyan Films, and once again let this software plug in the wings of rapid development.
Therefore, after hearing these news from friends, Cao Mengsheng held a high-level meeting of the company overnight and unanimously decided to take the original shares of Maoyan Film and Time.com even if it costs a lot of money.
Even if it is 800 million in cash, it will not be spared.
As for the shares of "East Asia Film Weekly" requested by Yang Ming, it is not a problem.
To be honest, if it were 10 years ago, Royal Entertainment's stake in "East Asia Film Weekly" might not have allowed others to get involved in the slightest, but now with the development of the Internet, the channels of public opinion have already undergone earth-shaking changes.
It is the general trend that paper media will be replaced and eliminated by online media.
Therefore, even if "East Asia Film Weekly" had authoritative film news reviews in the past, it is now gradually out of the eyes of Royal Entertainment.
As for why Yang Ming wanted to get the shares of "East Asia Film Weekly", Cao Mengsheng knew that this young man's thoughts were the same as his own, and what he wanted was this right to speak.
Even if "East Asia Film Weekly" declines, it is still a professional film media with a certain degree of influence in East Asia.
The reason why giants are giants is because of their strong heritage and strength, like this kind of traditional film public opinion media, which are basically in the hands of their giants, Yang Ming now wants to get the right to speak from the giants, and it is impossible to snatch it, so the only way to achieve it is to exchange interests.
Of course, this is also a win-win situation for both parties.
Oriental DreamWorks and Royal Entertainment reached a cooperation agreement, and after the news of the transfer of shares in Maoyan Movies and Time.com was announced, it immediately caused an earthquake in the entertainment industry.
Strong alliance, no one thought that after Huaxia Brothers Media and Baoli Company, Oriental DreamWorks once again introduced a heavyweight partner.
Now there are three film giants who have become shareholders of Maoyan Films and Time.com, plus an emerging Oriental DreamWorks, and the companies that want to copy the miracle of Maoyan movies by imitation are definitely bad news for them.
The fact that these few levels have huge energy settings in the industry alone is enough to make those who come after them sigh.
Not to mention others, such as Oriental DreamWorks allowing its own Donghai Cinema Line to refuse to cooperate with other software similar to Maoyan Movies, it is enough to prevent other companies from entering.
Without the cooperation of the theater chain, it is simply impossible to replicate the success of the cat's eye movie.
Now three more giants have become shareholders, and the shareholders of these three giants are more or less inextricably linked with local cinema companies, and they must not allow the emergence of the same company that can threaten Maoyan Films.
Of course, when the foundation of Maoyan Movies is more solid and accounts for the vast majority of users, several major shareholders may release control over cinema companies in order to avoid suspicion and monopoly notoriety, and allow some companies to enter and eat some leftovers.
Many film companies in the entertainment industry, after receiving this news, in addition to feeling shocked, admired the courage of Oriental DreamWorks and did not eat alone, that is, they had countless ripples because of a sentence they said at the joint press conference of Oriental DreamWorks and Royal Entertainment.
"In the near future, Maoyan Film may also introduce one or two partners with strong strength!"
In other words, the cake of Maoyan Movie can still be shared, and the cake that was taken out and shared at the beginning must still be taken out from the hands of Oriental DreamWorks, after all, for the other three giants, they still don't have enough shares and not enough right to speak, how can they let it out and share it with others?
To share, it is also the Oriental DreamWorks that currently occupies the largest piece of cake.
Many film companies with a certain strength, because of this sentence, see the infinite possibilities, and have contacted Oriental DreamWorks through various channels and relationships, whether they can also get the shares of Maoyan Films and Time.com.
For several film companies and powerful fund companies, Yang Ming arranged for Liu Xinsheng to reply in a unified manner, and Oriental DreamWorks will consider it carefully, but it will not consider it in the near future.
Hearing the reply of Oriental DreamWorks, those companies that want to obtain shares of Maoyan Films and Time.com are naturally a little disappointed.
However, Shangguan Tian, Wen Jingtao, and Cao Mengsheng pursed their lips disdainfully when they heard the words of Oriental DreamWorks, they all knew in their hearts that this must be the trick of that young man again, and it is estimated that after a while, the market value of Maoyan Movies and Time.com will be different again.
Cao Mengsheng is 'deeply affected', but he is also happy to have prejudices about this situation, but he doesn't know who will be the one who will be the wrongdoer.
The news of the cooperation between Oriental DreamWorks and Royal Entertainment has become the front page headlines of major entertainment news for two consecutive days, with various analyses and reviews analyzing the impact of the cooperation agreement between Oriental DreamWorks and the three giants from various angles on the local film landscape.
However, just when the major media focused on this issue, an unusually hot topic was suddenly exposed in the media industry.
"Yang Ming, a famous genius director in China, is suspected of falsifying ticket sales for concerts in London!"
- Whoa.
When this topic was exposed by a tabloid, it quickly caused an uproar in the media circles, and all the media opened their eyes and read the news reported by the tabloid several times, trying to determine the truth of the news.
You must know that many media want to get Yang Ming's interview, which is simply crazy.
But Yang Ming, a strange person, basically does not accept any media interviews, even if his own industry Phoenix TV wants to get his interview, it is quite difficult, generally under Wu Yuanzhi's repeated requests, this genius will reluctantly accept an interview with his own TV station.
It's so difficult for their own families, let alone outsiders?
This is also so that no matter what topic and news about Yang Ming is, it will attract the attention of countless people.
When the news of 'Yang Ming's suspected fraud of concert tickets in London' was exposed, it attracted the attention of countless media, but they were not interested in whether Yang Ming really used dishonorable means to fake his concert ticket sales, but they were very interested in why this tabloid suddenly exposed the inside story of this topic.
The unspoken rule of domestic star singers to hold concerts abroad to 'gild' has long been a well-known secret for the media circle.
It's not a big deal at all.
Even if Yang Ming fakes, it's not a big deal, not to mention that most of the media know that Yang Ming's solo concert tickets in London are selling well, and it is absolutely impossible to fake.
No one knows better than the media how influential Yang Ming is in the minds of young people abroad!
You know, even the princes and princesses of the British royal family are also loyal fans of Yang Ming, Yang Ming has such a huge charm, in the home of the prince and princess, hold a concert, do ticket sales still need to be faked to sell out?
This is simply not possible.
So, the media began to investigate what was going on here, who saw Yang Ming unpleasantly and deliberately smeared others, but this method seems to be a bit low-level.
Because this kind of news can't stand scrutiny at all.
Don't say that Yang Ming's concert ticket sales are indeed extremely hot, even if he changes to another star artist who really adds luster to himself through fraud, other people's brokerage companies can avoid this suspicion of fraud through various means, let alone Yang Ming.
With the efforts of several media, the context of things was quickly carried out.
This tabloid that took the lead in throwing out the news of 'Yang Ming's concert ticket sales fraud' is inextricably linked with the film giant Victory Pictures.
After investigating this, many media immediately felt that their blood was boiling all at once.
If it was really Victory Pictures targeting Yang Ming, it would be really big news.
Follow this clue and continue to check.
The reporter's nose is more sensitive than a dog, and under their all-pervasive investigation, they finally learned from a so-called relevant insider that someone from Victory Pictures and Yang Ming seemed to have a conflict at the Golden Dragon Award Reform Discussion Conference a few days ago.
And it's even more hands-on!
It's just that someone in Victory Pictures has suffered a dark loss.
When the media reporters found out about this, they were completely excited, and immediately sent everything about the investigation back to their newspaper, which was definitely a major news, and they were sorry for the hard work they had to investigate.
