Chapter 22 Acquisition of Huayu Films

When I woke up, I found that this book had risen to the tenth place on the new book list, which is all due to everyone's efforts, thank you for your support!

Li Haitao sat in his office, looking out of the glass window, the office area outside was empty, the employees had already gone, and the boss who was in arrears for three months had no future.

Huayu Film Company was originally a medium-sized film company in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, compared with the industry giants such as Media Asia Film, Emperor Film, China Star Film, Huanyu Film, Long's Film and Fahrenheit Film Company, it is just a small fish in the cracks to survive, in the past few years, Huayu has developed well, and has produced several small-budget movies with a box office of more than 50 million, made a few money, and gradually made a name for itself in Hong Kong, but now, it has become a ruin.

Li Haitao is a person who loves movies, his father is a film projectionist, he spent his childhood in the film studio with his father since he was a child, when other children are still playing in the park, he has begun to contact the primary theory of film, his dream was to be a great actor, but soon he found that he was not handsome enough, and his appearance was not distinctive, so he changed his goal halfway, that is, to be a great director like Long Qihai, but he soon found that he had no talent in this area at all, he didn't even take pictures very well. can't be an actor, can't be a director, and doesn't want to be a filmmaker for the rest of his life like his father, but he loves movies from the bottom of his bones, and he feels that only by doing this kind of work will he not waste his life. So Li Haitao decided that he wanted to be the boss of the film company. I have to say that Li Haitao's initial entrepreneurship was relatively successful, he started with small-budget movies, and obtained several investments, so he bought a good script from a screenwriter who was not famous, and then found a depressed director, and then found a few third-tier actors, in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, I dare not say anything else, if you look for the kind of screenwriter, director, actor who has not yet become famous, it is really a big deal, maybe you meet a homeless man on Hanggang Street, it may be a director.

Luckily, he succeeded. The first film shot by his company won a box office of more than 43 million at a low cost of 3 million, which made Huayu earn a profit of more than 20 million, and also made Huayu gain a lot of reputation in the Hong Kong film industry. Many depressed screenwriters, directors, and actors have come to Huayu to seek breakthroughs, and Li Haitao has selected many outstanding talents from them, and has shot several small-budget movies one after another, all of which have won good box office. Two years later, through Li Haitao's efforts, Huayu rose from the initial market price of 5 million to more than 140 million, and was regarded by many people as a new star in the film industry.

At this time, Fahrenheit Film Company also took a fancy to Huayu and wanted to acquire Huayu. However, Li Haitao did not agree, and fell out with Fahrenheit Film Company for this reason. Fahrenheit even warned that he would regret it. At first, Li Haitao was indeed worried about Fahrenheit's retaliation, after all, anyone who provoked such an aircraft carrier would feel uneasy. However, after a month, Huayu was not attacked in any way, and Hua's did not retaliate, Li Haitao thought that this matter was over, and what Fahrenheit said at that time was probably angry.

Later, Li Haitao once met a woman on the way home, Li Haitao fell in love at first sight, and under his unremitting pursuit, he finally won his heart. Li Haitao, who has been successful in career and love, once thought that he was the happiest person.

As we all know, commercial blockbusters are the king in the movie, with an investment of over 100 million, led by first-line stars, big scenes, big productions, big box office, only by making a few such movies, Huayu can wrestle with those industry giants, and even rank among the first-class film companies in Hangzhou and Hong Kong.

As a company decision-maker, his idea cannot be said to be wrong, if he continues to invest in making small-budget films that Huayu is good at, he may still make a lot of profits, but the success of several consecutive years has made Li Haitao a little confident, and even gave him an illusion that as long as he does it, he will definitely succeed.

So Li Haitao decided to make a big vote, and he wanted to invest in making commercial blockbusters.

Of course, the swelling of confidence is inflated, but his rigorous character is still carefully prepared for this movie, rather than blindly shooting. Li Haitao spent a month doing research in the market to see what kind of movies the audience liked to watch, and then, he spent a lot of money to hire a famous screenwriter to write a script according to the audience's requirements. borrowed 100 million from the bank, plus the original 100 million in the company, and prepared to shoot this movie at a large cost of 200 million.

Li Haitao, who has abundant funds, invited a famous director from Hangzhou and Hong Kong, as well as several first-line actors, and spent nearly 40 million on these alone. But Li Haitao doesn't feel distressed, because the fame of the director and actors will attract more audiences, and the money will be earned back.

Everything went according to plan, and the filming went smoothly, just when the filming was about to be completed, Li Haitao received a summons from the court on the grounds that Huayu had infringed. It turned out that the woman Li Haitao met was sent by Fahrenheit, and while Li Haitao was not paying attention, he stole the script of the movie, and Fahrenheit also secretly started filming in advance. When Huayu's movie was about to be filmed, he came to sue in order to let Li Haitao spend all the money for the film.

The lawsuit lasted for more than a month, and Huayu lost the lawsuit, not only compensating Fahrenheit 10 million, but also owing the bank 100 million. The funds for filming were spent again, and the movie could not be released, and in the end, Huayu went bankrupt.

Hate that woman, maybe. Li Haitao opened the window, this is the ninth floor, he has made up his mind, jump from here, end his short and regretful life, there is nothing to be nostalgic in the world, instead of living like a dog with huge debts, it is better to be a hundred, the only thing that is unwilling is that he did not complete his movie dream, but now it doesn't matter.

He stood on the windowsill and closed his eyes to jump down, when a delicate voice came from outside the door, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Li Haitao looked back and saw an extremely young boy, with a confident smile on his delicate face, which made people feel good. Li Haitao's tone was a little softer, "Little classmate, what are you doing here, go down quickly." ”

Chen Feng walked in and said with a smile, "I heard that this company is going bankrupt, I'll take a look." ”

Li Haitao's face suddenly became unhappy, whose child is this, so rude, didn't you see him jumping off the building, why are you mentioning this. Li Haitao said with a little anger, "How is it, leave quickly after reading it." ”

"Why am I leaving, I still have something to talk to the person in charge of this company." Chen Feng still said with a calm smile.

"I'm the head of this company, what do I have to talk about?" Li Haitao asked strangely.

"I can help you solve your current dilemma."

"Resolved?" Li Haitao suddenly felt funny, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, probably still a student, actually said that he wanted to help him solve the predicament, everyone felt funny. "Little classmate, do you know my situation? It's easy to say, I owe the bank 100 million, yes, you heard it right, it's 100 million, not 1 million or 10 million, but 100 million, how can you help me solve it. At the end, his voice roared slightly.

"100 million, well, although it's a little more, it's still within the acceptable range." Li Haitao was stunned for a moment, "Although 100 million is a little more, it is still within the acceptable range"? This young man's tone is really big, and the huge amount of money that has driven him to a dead end is an understatement in people's mouths, as if it is no different from a hundred yuan.

This young man shouldn't be a rich second generation, let's have fun with the buyer company. In recent years, China's economy has risen, and the number of rich people is becoming more and more, and he has seen several young rich second generation in China buy a few companies to play, start a business in the name of beauty, and do business, but he just asks his family to give money so that they can play. This kid shouldn't have such a purpose, if that's the case, he would rather go bankrupt than let these rich second generations waste his hard work.

"If you plan to buy this company to play, I advise you to find another company, I won't sell it." Li Haitao said in a firm tone.

"Play? It's okay what company I buy to play, you really think I have money and nowhere to spend. Chen Feng said with a glare.

"You really didn't buy it to play, aren't you one of those rich second generations?" Li Haitao looked at Chen Feng suspiciously and asked.

"Do you think I'm like a rich second generation? I really want to buy the company to run it. ”

"Okay, you said you came to buy, since you are not a rich second generation, then you have so much money to buy?" Li Haitao said suspiciously.

"You've probably heard of Blair the Witch!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Li Haitao nodded, this movie has been very popular recently, although he is busy with the company's affairs, he also knows something, which is also his habit to analyze each released film. "Of course I know that although many people on the Internet say that this film is a real documentary, through my analysis, it is all hyped by the filmmakers to boost the box office, but this strategy is very successful. At present, the box office is firmly in second place. Li Haitao said confidently.

Chen Feng's face suddenly showed horror, he didn't expect this Li Haitao to have such a business talent and be able to analyze his marketing strategy. "Such talents must not be let go."
