Chapter 685 Drive
The development of the special effects company was somewhat unexpected by Gan Jing, who had a vague idea of the listing, but he didn't expect it to be at such a point in time.
According to his expectations, Huaxia Special Efficiency won most of the domestic film and television special effects market, exported externally, and led internally.
Now, although it won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects with "Life of Pi" and established its status, the special effects link is limited by its own characteristics in the downstream of the film and television industry, and the profit is very meager.
Moreover, film and television special effects must keep up with the development of technology of the times, and even rely on their own breakthroughs.
Huaxia Special Effects Company won the Oscar, isn't it amazing?
It's amazing.
However, we must face up to one problem, the wave of special effects production of Life Pi is not only a collection of Oscar industry leaders, but also a collection of all resources that can be gathered inside and outside the company.
Gan Jing doesn't think that kind of concentration can be easily reproduced, and he doesn't think that people in the company can be willing to do this again.
When he returned to his company from Huaxia Special Effects Company, the thoughts in his heart were quite chaotic, and it was not until Zhou Pu came in that he came back to his senses.
"Speaking of which, Zhou Pu, you used to say that your daughter was my fan, why have you never seen you bring her to the company?" Gan Jingdan, whenever he sees the president in charge of capital investment matters, he always thinks of why he came.
"I always can't catch up, I had time a while ago, but you are filming abroad. Zhou Pu smiled, "There is a chance, her father is now working under her idol, are you afraid that she won't be able to see it." ”
Gan Jing got up and poured tea for Zhou Pu with his own hands, and said with a smile: "I have a new play recently, if your daughter has time, she can come to play a cameo role or something, and she should play it." Of course, whether the final shot can be cut on is another matter. ”
Zhou Pu's eyes lit up, this matter was much happier for him than a salary increase.
In the office, the two drank tea and chatted gossip, and Zhou Pu also reported on his recent work on venture capital.
Gan Jing listened to the professional operation of this professional, just listened to the details, and occasionally interjected to ask some judgments about the trend, and in the end, he still took out a question about Huaxia special effects.
Of course, not only the dictation, but also the previous information about the special effects company.
Zhou Puyou has been in charge of the equity work over there for a period of time, and he also knows Forrest Gump's influence, but the specific route is not clear now, after all, his work is quite busy.
After browsing like this for a long time, Zhou Pu summed up the problem: "Forrest Gump, to put it simply, on the side of the special effects company, you want to be emotionally driven, but now they want to be capital-driven, so they don't agree." ”
"Ugh. Gan Jing was stunned, "It's a bit too simplistic to say this......"
"Get to the heart of the problem. Zhou Pu put down the information in his hand and said simply, "Mr. Xiao wants to develop, do more things with more money, and circle more markets." This will inevitably lead to a problem, the demand of the domestic market itself is mixed, and after taking the money of capital, we must give more consideration to the demand for capital profit-seeking. Five-cent special effects, can you catch it?"
Wumao special effects refer to those low-quality special effects production, this kind of thing naturally has nothing to do with blockbusters, but they have no market?
Gan Jing swallowed back the "no" that he wanted to blurt out, this answer instinctively came as an excellent actor, he didn't want to see the market full of low-quality films, but which one was better for the company's development, he was also confused.
Zhou Pu continued to talk eloquently: "Five cents special effects, people pay seven cents, but Mr. Xiao only needs to pay the cost of three cents." The crew claimed to be cooperating with the Oscar-winning visual effects company, which made a name for itself and a box office; Mr. Xiao and they got profits in order to go public, and the company's financial report looked good; who would suffer in the end?"
Gan Jing still pressed the word "audience" in his heart this time.
"This is the situation of listing in China, because you can only be listed if you want to make a profit, if you want to go to the U.S. stocks, despite the loss, but you can show high growth and a big market, draw a big pie over there, and you can be listed at a loss, just like JD.com, it was successfully listed in the first half of this year, and it has been losing money from its establishment to going public, but it can give people confidence. ”
According to the company's current development, I roughly estimate that the road to listing will last for two or three years, and there will definitely be funds to lead the investment during this period. Zhou Pu understood Forrest Gump's thoughts and asked, "Do you want the shares of Huaxia Special Effects to be controlled by American capital?"
If it is controlled by American capital, then what is the purpose of doing this yourself?
Gan Jing was silent for a while, then looked up and asked, "What about AB shares?"
"Dual ownership can be possible, but it may not be achievable, and Jobs has not been kicked out. Zhou Pu gave a very famous example, AB shares and dual equity are the same thing, they want to control the entire company with a small amount of capital.
"It's really annoying. Gan Jing sighed.
Zhou Pu nodded, he didn't make a judgment, he just looked at this incident with his own eyes, although the current Huaxia special effects and Forrest Gump are a little different, they are still a mess, but if the goals are different, the crack will expand with walking.
"Huaxia special effects are screwed together in order to take advantage of the 3D tuyere to move forward, I participate in it, there is not much self-interest, I prefer to use it to drive the development of domestic film and television special effects, and make up for a part of the film and television industry. Gan Jing exhaled, "I have some specific ideas." ”
Zhou Pu looked at Forrest Gump, and seeing that he didn't continue to speak, his heart turned a thought, and he didn't ask any further.
He is not very optimistic about the listing of Huaxia special effects companies, and there are not too many special effects companies that have collapsed around the world, even with the help of the development of emerging markets, it is not easy for profits to go up.
Regarding the judgment on this point, he directly gave a judgment when he first took over the disposal of the equity there, and felt that if the special effects company wants to achieve a large scale in the sense of real scale, it must be touched from the downstream to the upstream.
In other words, not only to do special effects production, but also to do film and television production, from a special effects production company to a comprehensive film and television company.
But is it that easy to transform and expand?
Do you have a director, do you have an actor, do you make money from your investment?
With this effort, maybe you can use the money to invest in real estate and wait for appreciation, and make money faster.
Thinking of this, Zhou Pu took a sip of the cold tea, looked at Forrest Gump, who was frowning and thinking, and quietly exhaled, it is difficult to balance the development between feelings and profits.
Forrest Gump, he's not an expert on this road either.
