Chapter 390: Many Disasters and Difficulties

ps: Today I helped my cousin write a 1200-word speech for the stationmaster competition, which tossed me up for a morning, which is much more tiring than writing a novel. I'll try to 3 chapters today, but maybe it's only 8000+.

At the beginning of July, Tianwang Film and Television Company completed the global release of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3": it will be released globally on August 1.

Given the high box office success of the "Biochemical Apocalypse" series, the major film markets around the world have given quite gratifying film scheduling rates, with 5,000 screens in the United States and nearly 4,500 screens in the European Union. However, when he arrived in China, he encountered difficulties in theaters, and the film scheduling rate was less than 20%, which was very different from the original 40%.

Tianwang Film and Television Group finally ushered in the pressure of the theater company, which also made Wang Shang and the others secretly congratulate themselves that they had made a plan for the acquisition of the theater chain.

On July 3, a fire broke out in the film storage room of Bio-Apocalypse 3, destroying nearly half of the film. Now there is less than a month to go before it will be released, but this incident happened at this juncture, and Wang Shang was almost so angry that he went to the hospital. The police are also on high alert and have sent criminal investigators to conduct a close investigation into the matter.

In the end, it was Tang Zongshi and Lan Hai Mei who lent a hand, and Datang International and Blue Ocean Group rented out their copy rooms, increasing the copy speed of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" by three times.

2011 is destined to be a year of ups and downs for Tianwang Film and Television. Just after solving the matter of movie copies, there was another problem with the bank loan.

"President Yu, this is not kind, we have spent so much time talking to you for so long. It's almost coming to an end, and now you say you don't agree to the loan, what does that mean!! Jia Jinqian glared angrily at the president of Puxi Bank. Originally, he didn't need to come, just let the negotiation team come, but things took a turn and he had to rush over.

Originally, Tianwang Film and Television Group wanted to use all the current film copyrights, animation, and game copyrights at the expense, and at the same time add 5% of the equity of Tianwang Film and Television Group to borrow 30 billion yuan from the bank.

Originally, the negotiations went smoothly, and the other party also expressed interest in these mortgages, and at the time of valuation, it also exceeded 35 billion. But. Things took a turn for the worse today.

The bank disagreed!!

President Yu, who is in charge of the bank, is a lean man. The face seems to be the scene of a car accident, and it is terrifying to watch. He showed what he thought was the most amiable smile and said, "Mr. Jia, you have to understand. It was before. It's now. There are always ups and downs in a market economy. ”

Jia Jin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"We don't want mortgages. We want to inject capital, 35 billion, 20% of the original shares. The governor looked at Jia Jinqian with a smile.

Jia Jinqian was very unhappy, and the expression of 'we are very sincere' made Jia Jinqian even more unhappy: "Since President Yu is so insincere, then let's suspend this negotiation, anyway, we have more choices." ”

"Don't, Mr. Jia, you should also understand what the situation is in Tianwang Film and Television now, our bank is already very sincere, and the conditions you get from other banks will definitely be worse than our bank." President Yu was a little nervous.

"You don't have to worry about this." Jia Jin was too lazy to bother because the group was very eager to look forward to this fund, and there was no time to waste.

On July 10, 2011, Tianwang Film and Television Group cast a net to catch fish and sent letters to more than 20 banks across the country, using film and television copyrights and company equity as collateral to borrow from banks. After the letter was sent, it quickly attracted most of the banks, but they all wanted to inject capital into Tianwang Film and Television to obtain equity, rather than loans.

When the circle is large, secrecy is impossible. Domestic and foreign investment companies such as Shenggao, Carlyle, and Sequoia Capital have received news one after another, and have sent people to the magic capital to negotiate. Internationally, Tianwang Film and Television is a top naked golden bun with high annual profitability, fast growth rate, and top technology, which has long become the target coveted by many investment companies. Despite all the difficulties that Tianwang Film and Television has encountered now, these venture capital companies have a lot of confidence in it.

"We are willing to invest $1 billion to buy an 8% stake."

"We at Carlyle are willing to invest $800 million to buy all the rights to films, animations, games, and peripherals, including "Transformers" and "Fast and Furious."

"We, Sequoia Capital, are willing to IPO for Tianwang Film and Television for free, as long as the foreign funds in the future go through Sequoia."

One investment agreement after another was submitted to Tianwang Film and Television Company, and then all of them were intercepted by Bi Han and did not enter Wang Shang's desk.

"We want loans, not investments!"

"Investment is not negotiable, but loans are easy to talk about." Tianwang Film and Television's attitude is still resolute.

After a long stalemate, banks and venture capital firms finally faltered. In the end, Tianwang Film and Television used all the film copyrights, animation, and game copyrights so far plus 10% of the equity of Tianwang Film and Television Group as collateral, and loaned 43 billion people.

Naturally, these transactions could not be concealed, and they soon spread to the society, shocking a large number of people again. The Internet and the media are once again hotly discussed, some discuss the valuation of Tianwang Film and Television, and some discuss the use of the 43 billion.

"Could it be that Tianwang Film and Television has encountered difficulties and needs a lot of money to fill the hole?"

"Maybe it's the special effects company, a big money-swallower, they can't stand it."

"Maybe he has a new investment direction."

"Maybe I think the film industry is too simple, and it is not necessary to invest in other industries, such as real estate ......"

Many media wanted to come to Tianwang Film and Television Group for an interview, but they were forcibly kicked out by the security guards, aggrieved, and then maliciously speculated and reported.

The funds are in place one after another, and Tianwang Film and Television can finally let go of their hands and feet to acquire, and one by one the business negotiation teams excitedly widen their eyes to inspect all possible targets, and then wave banknotes and throw money wildly.

Cinemas, TV stations, media platforms, website platforms, ...... These are all important components of the future aircraft carrier of Tianwang Film and Television Group.

All the senior executives of Tianwang Film and Television Company are full of confidence.

――――――――――――

On July 20, 2014, Southeast Film and Television Group announced an important decision - to appoint Han Gaozhen, who had just jumped from Tianwang Film and Television Group, as the director of the screenwriting department, and at the same time will start filming five new films.

"Han Gaozhen is a genius screenwriter, and he just came over and provided us with 5 scripts that can be called perfect." When answering reporters' questions, Zhou Tao said proudly.

Coincidentally, Huayi also announced that it would hire Huang Zhian as the head of the editorial department, and at the same time will start filming three films written by Huang Zhian.

In the list of movies they filmed, Wang Shang saw "Plane One" and "Hurricane Rescue......

What Lu Yang and Wang Shang feared eventually appeared: Wang Shang's creativity was lost......

Tianwang Film and Television Company reacted quickly and directly sued Han Gaozhen and Huang Zhian in court.

The eyes of the entertainment industry once again focused on Tianwang Film and Television Group.

On July 30, the film storage room fire case finally made progress, and the criminal investigators sent by the municipal government dug up the murderer, who was a six-year-old employee of a company who was bribed for gambling. When the criminal investigation master wanted to continue to investigate, he found that the other party was too cautious and couldn't find any clues at all, they were all contacted by voice change phone, and the money was also a cash transaction.

The case can only be found at this step, the arsonist was sentenced to life, and the rest can only be stopped.

After the case was detected, it caused a big storm, some people gloated, and some people secretly speculated whether it was related to Southeast Film and Television and Huayi Pictures, and rumors were flying all over the sky.

After Tianwang Film and Television experienced this, the management of the post-production department became stricter.

Because of the continuous occurrence of various difficulties during this period of time in Tianwang Film and Television Company, netizens jokingly called 2011 the natal year of Tianwang Film and Television Group, and there were many disasters and difficulties.

Fortunately, there are sorrows and joys, "Transformers 2" finally announced the completion of "Transformers 2" after nearly a year and a half, and the completion of this high-grossing commercial blockbuster has given Tianwang Film and Television Company a booster, and morale is rising again.

――――――――――――

On August 1, after twists and turns, "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" was finally released worldwide.

Although the film worked overtime with the joint efforts of the three companies, the film was finally submitted as scheduled and did not need to be penalized for liquidated damages.

When "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" was released, the world once again set off a biochemical frenzy. This year's special effects technology has improved compared with the past, coupled with the 3D effect, which triggered a burst of high-tide cheers from moviegoers when it was released.

A large number of biochemical monsters, dazzling abilities, up to 4K projection technology, and immersive 3D have brought countless moviegoers a continuous wave of audio-visual pleasure.

At home, the opposite is true.

There is only less than 20% of the pit daddy film scheduling rate, and those movie theaters in China were scolded by countless people all of a sudden.

"Why don't you release "Biochemical Apocalypse 3"?"

"I heard that the movie theater in Dongcheng has released "Resident Apocalypse 3", let's go."

"Are those movie theaters stupid? Got money or not? ”

"I heard that it seems to be embarrassing for Tianwang Film and Television Group, so the scheduling rate of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" is less than 20%."

The movie theater owners who did not arrange the release of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" saw the steady stream of fans who came to ask about "Biochemical Apocalypse 3", and then looked at those theaters with an attendance rate of only 20-50%, and they were very distressed, those are all money!!

And in those movie theaters that arranged the release of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3", they ushered in waves of enthusiastic fans, with long queues, and in stark contrast to other movies, only a few dozen people watched the movie.

Tickets for the first day of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" were sold out by crazy fans in less than three hours. Although Tianwang Film and Television has experienced various things, they have great confidence in the quality of "Biochemical Apocalypse...... (To be continued......)
