Chapter 434: Strong Crushing
Finally, under the vote of Gongsun Heng's think tank, with 40% of the votes, they reached an agreement to focus on Hurricane Entertainment Company, and relax a little in Wanda Cinema Line and Gongsun Heng Real Estate Company.
At this time, Gongsun Heng could only pray that he had made the right bet, and Chu Shi's goal was Hurricane Entertainment Company.
There is no way, Gongsun Heng's family has a big business, and the huge industry also leads to the distraction of his energy, and Chu Shi's personal career is focused on entertainment companies, and there are tens of billions of funds in his hands, which is tantamount to an atomic bomb, although there is only one, but as long as he chooses the right place, he can blow up a hole from Gongsun Heng's body.
And Gongsun Heng also knows that Chu Shi chooses himself, it is indeed a very wise choice, the richest man in China focuses on one industry, even if Chu Shi has huge funds in his hands, it is difficult to shake his hegemony, the easiest and tempting is that he is the second richest man who has an inextricable relationship with the entertainment industry!
Gongsun Heng is gambling! If the bet is right, it is very likely that he will take a bite from the huge capital flow in Chu Shi's hands, and see through Chu Shi's plan, and it will be easier to target Chu Shi in the future, but if the bet is wrong......
Hurricane Entertainment Company, Wanda Cinema Line, and the real estate industry, Gongsun Heng will lose one of them, and his position as the second richest person in China may also fall a few places, and Chu Shi will become a new upstart in the rich world of China, extremely dazzling!
In anxious waiting, this day has finally arrived!
On the last day of November 2013, Chu Shi, Fan Bingling, the three giants of Aurora Entertainment Company, Zhou Xingchi, and two well-known real estate businessmen in Huaxia joined forces to co-establish 'Starlight Cinema Line'. Suddenly shocked the Chinese entertainment industry!
Chu Shi himself invested 55 billion Huaxia coins, as well as the huge resources of the entire dimensional entertainment company. Attach a small half of the resources of Ice World Entertainment and act as a 'leader'. occupied a little cheap, and finally occupied 35% of the shares of Starlight Cinemas.
The three major shareholders of Aurora Entertainment Company invested 30 billion Huaxia coins, and the huge resources of the entire Aurora Entertainment Company accounted for 18.6% of the shares of Starlight Cinemas.
Fan Bingling herself received a gift from the family, and also directly took out 25 billion Huaxia coins, plus a small half of the resources of Ice World Entertainment Company, and the 'special rights' she represents behind her, and the three giants of Aurora Entertainment Company all occupy 18.6% of the shares! Although the investment is 5 billion Huaxia coins less than that of the Aurora Triumvirate, the forces behind Fan Bingling. is enough to be worth the 5 billion Huaxia coins, not to mention anything else, just mentioning this 'cinema license' and the issue of the future film passing the review, it is not too much to rely on Fan Bingling's relationship, and the shares worth 5 billion are not too much.
The two famous real estate businessmen are responsible for the future Starlight Cinema Line to build theaters in major cities, and at the same time, they paid 30 billion Chinese coins. and a huge network of resources, also obtained 18.6% of the shares
In the end, the remaining 9.2% of the shares were left to Zhou Xingchi and several Xiangjiang bigwigs who were good friends with him, with a total investment of 15 billion Chinese yuan. As well as his entertainment company and everyone's connections, it is not too much to occupy this share!
It is precisely in this way that Starlight Cinemas was officially established. Chu Shi naturally became the chairman of Starlight Cinema with 35% of the shares in his hands, while Fan Bingling, the three giants of Aurora, and the two major real estate businessmen all have 18.2% of the shares. tied as a major shareholder, and Zhou Xingchi and many other Xiangjiang giants. are all minority shareholders under Chu Shi, Fan Bingling and others.
But even if it is a minority shareholder, its identity and status are also quite important, although the Starlight Entertainment formula has just been created, just looking at its power, it is enough to crush Wanda Cinema Line!
Why did Wanda Cinema Line achieve the first cinema line in Huaxia and occupy nearly half of the market share?
One is that there are quite high quality and large number of theaters, and the assets of more than 80 billion yuan are not a joke, just this number is an insurmountable peak for countless entertainment companies in China.
Second, it is the source of high-quality movies! After all, Hurricane Entertainment Company and Wanda Cinema Line are big bosses, whether it is Hurricane Entertainment Company, or Friendship Entertainment Company, which is known as the 'Alliance', and countless entertainment companies around these two companies, they are the most loyal supporters of Wanda Cinema Line.
After establishing the supreme status of the cinema chain that no one in China can match, Wanda Cinema has also attracted the attention of foreign entertainment companies, who doesn't want to make more money? If you want to make more money, there is only one option called Wanda Cinemas.
Slowly, Lingwanda Cinema Line has formed its current scale.
But at any point, the newly established Starlight Cinema Line is not false at all!
When it comes to the source of works, although it is not as strong as Hurricane Entertainment, the first film company in the entertainment industry, when it comes to quantity and quality, it is not only true, but even exceeded!
Dimensional Entertainment Company, Aurora Entertainment Company, and Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company, three of the five peak entertainment giants in China, even if the first two do not have the ability to make films, there are countless film production companies around!
Moreover, the countless small shareholders of Starlight Cinemas, many bigwigs in Xiangjiang, and some simple actors have huge influence, as long as they are willing, they are enough to affect the problem of movie broadcast theaters, and the rest of them also have their own companies, which are not large-scale, but their own company's works can also easily choose partners to cooperate with.
All together, although Starlight Cinemas has just been established, it is much better than Wanda Cinemas in terms of the quantity and quality of film resources!
When it comes to scale, the total assets of Wanda Cinema Line of 80 billion are indeed huge, but compared with the total assets of Starlight Cinema Line of 160 billion, the difference is fully doubled.
Among the first-tier cities, the number of Starlight Cinemas exceeds 50% of Wanda Cinemas!
In second-tier cities, the number of Starlight Cinemas has doubled that of Wanda Cinemas!
In various small cities, Wanda Cinema Line does not have a base, but Starlight Cinema Line has, although there are not many, but it is a genuine market share. This alone surpasses the Wanda Cinema Line.
Plus when Starlight Cinemas was created. It was the moment when Wanda Cinema Line suffered a heavy blow and its stock price plummeted by nearly 40%. Now that Starlight Cinema Line was officially established, and as soon as it came up, it crushed Wanda Cinema Line with a strong attitude, and there were many large-scale movies such as "Journey to the West", naturally, at the beginning of 2014, Wanda Cinema Line was completely crushed.
Chu Shi also fulfilled his promise smoothly, "Journey to the West" was not released in Wanda Cinema, but in the end. It definitely didn't make Chu Shi and Zhou Xingchi, the two investors, suffer even a little loss, and even made a lot of extra money!
After all, it is the first super-large film work of Starlight Cinema at the beginning of its establishment, and it undoubtedly deserves to be a strong hit, and Chu Shi and Zhou Xingchi certainly took this opportunity to make a lot of money.
Of course, the quality of the movie "Journey to the West" is not bad at all! Although it has all kinds of advantages, at the beginning of the film production, whether it is funding, casting, acting skills, or script quality, it is a very high level.
Screenplay. It is a masterpiece prepared by Zhou Xingchi for many years, and it has been changed with the help of Chu Shi, and the quality is high and rare in China.
In terms of investment, it is a huge collection of funds from Chu Shi and Zhou Xingchi. Both of them are not short of money, so they naturally threw money crazy in the movie "Journey to the West".
In terms of casting, there is no difference from the beginning. But in the process of filming the movie "Journey to the West", Chu Shi took the initiative to 'lift' his acting skills. So that the level of acting skills has improved again, naturally. It takes the quality of the movie "Journey to the West" to a higher level.
One qiē and one qiē are all perfect, although they can't reach the level of Hollywood's annual blockbusters, it can be said that the movie "Journey to the West" is definitely a textbook-like special effects blockbuster in China.
In just over a month, it directly won the terrifying box office results of 1.6 billion Chinese coins, surpassing the official release in 2012 and creating a box office myth "People Are Embarrassed to Travel: Thailand", and has become the champion of the Chinese film box office list so far.
As the first work after the establishment of Starlight Cinema, and the first work launched in 2013, it can have such a terrifying result, which can be said to have completely suppressed Wanda Cinema, since the movie "Journey to the West" became popular, it has plundered the glory that originally belonged to Wanda Cinema to Starlight Cinema.
You must know that since the beginning of the establishment of Starlight Cinemas, Chu Shi has united everyone to launch a crazy smear campaign against Wanda Cinemas, which directly caused the stock price of Wanda Cinemas to fall by a full forty percent.
Even after the establishment of Starlight Cinemas, this activity has not stopped, and it has even intensified! Because many big-budget film works, including "Journey to the West", have chosen to be released in Starlight Cinemas, and all possibilities of being released in Wanda Cinemas have been blocked, I don't know how many members of Wanda Cinemas have stood up to condemn them.
From luxury to frugality, once the members of Wanda Cinema Line held membership cards, whether they were domestic or foreign blockbusters, they could see them, but now, not to mention foreign blockbusters, even domestic blockbusters can't be seen, how can this be worthy of the highly valuable membership card in their hands?
And at this time, Starlight Cinema Line unexpectedly launched the activity of 'Wanda Cinema Membership Card Exchange Huàn Starlight Cinema Membership Card', which made Gongsun Heng stunned, not knowing what Chu Shi was going to do!
Chu Shi did this, which was tantamount to injuring himself by a thousand and injuring eight hundred! Although Wanda Cinema Line has lost a lot of regular users, it has increased its own burden and taken out countless wealth, just to buy a disproportionate number of users, and what it has paid is the accumulation of a large number of Wanda Cinema Membership Cards and the funds in the membership card?
This is completely harmful to others and not to oneself! The most important thing is that Zhou Xingchi, Fan Bingling, Aurora and others actually went crazy with Chu Shi, and it was indeed Zero Gong Sun Heng who was puzzled.
Even if the entire think tank analyzes together, there is no conclusion, and in desperation, Gongsun Heng can only watch it like this, letting Chu Shi stir up the wind and rain, and secretly pray in his heart, praying that this will eventually drag down Chu Shi and the capital flow of Starlight Cinema.
It's a pity that Starlight Cinema will be short of money?
Ice World Entertainment Company, Dimensional Entertainment Company, Aurora Entertainment Company, Zhou Xingchi and other Xiangjiang bigwigs, as well as two well-known real estate businessmen in Huaxia, have heard about Chu Shi's development strategy as early as the beginning of the establishment of Starlight Cinemas. It is clear that Starlight Cinema is completely a gold-swallowing monster in the early stage. It doesn't bring them much wealth, but they know it very well. As long as Chu Shi's plan is successful, then Starlight Entertainment will be able to become a behemoth far beyond Wanda Cinema Line, unmatched.
In addition, in other aspects, they all have a lot of income, which is enough to subsidize the Starlight Cinema Line, so that everyone will unscrupulously support Chu Shi and make up their minds to build the Starlight Cinema Line into the first cinema line in China. And occupy most of the market.
Of course, now that the operation of Starlight Cinema is on the right track, they don't need to worry too much, they just need to develop step by step, and Chu Shi doesn't need to pay attention to this aspect for the time being, and can focus on other aspects.
However, summing up in the process of this tough encounter with Wanda Cinema, although Chu Shi has lost a lot of wealth and gained the upper hand, in Chu Shi's eyes, there is one point. I was depressed.
It is the meager news released by Gongsun Yu, the first son of the entertainment industry, and the trouble it brought to himself!
At the beginning, Gongsun Yu once named and secretly demonstrated Bingling, Tang Yanran, Liu Yushi, and Yang Mi, the reason why they were able to become popular. It was completely because she climbed into Chu Shi's bed and became a Chu Shi woman.
And afterwards, Gongsun Yu received the punishment he deserved. The reputation has stinted throughout the entertainment industry, and the stock price of Wanda Cinema Line has plummeted. fell into an absolute disadvantage in the head-on struggle with Starlight Cinema, and was finally confined by his father-in-law Sun Heng. completely disappeared from people's sight, it seemed that Chu Shi had won a big victory by Gongsun Yu's stupidity, but in fact, it was ......
Gongsun Yu issued a meager statement, and in some respects, it did put Chu Shi in an embarrassing situation.
In the face of such remarks, Fan Bingling is indeed not afraid at all! Although her popularity is much worse than that of Chu Shi, after all, Fan Bingling also has a considerable status in the entertainment industry, even if she has an ambiguous relationship with Chu Shi, she definitely can't be called relying on Chu Shi's ascendancy, everyone knows that Fan Bingling is popular, and before Chu Shi's debut, this remark did not have much impact on her.
The people who were affected were actually Tang Yanran and Liu Yushi!
Watching the rise of Tang Yanran and Liu Yushi, it is indeed impossible to get rid of the care of Chu Shi, if there is no Chu Shi, there is no achievements of the two of them today, so it seems that being said by Chu Shi ** may not be true, which also makes the reputation and popularity of the two of them suffer a huge blow.
If Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran were willing to stand up and clarify that they had no relationship with Chu Shi in this regard, they would indeed be able to save the current situation, but the problem was ......
How could the two of them come forward to clarify?
Although they are eager to succeed in the entertainment industry, in fact, in the hearts of Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, Chu Shi is the most important, for Chu Shi, they can quit the entertainment industry, and of course, they will not draw a line with Chu Shi for their personal entertainment career.
This kind of thing, even if it is false, the two of them must not say it, otherwise they will be the snub of Chu Shi, there is no doubt about this - Chu Shi doesn't want his woman to regard her career as more important than Chu Shi, proud as Chu Shi, and will never allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran can only pretend to be stupid and deliberately avoid this issue, but under the silence, it means that the entire entertainment industry and even all fans and ordinary people have recognized the unclear relationship between Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran and Chu Shi.
People in the entertainment industry, even if they are from Hurricane Entertainment Company, if they want to develop in the circle, they can't and dare not offend Chu Shi, but even if they don't say it, the discussions of ordinary fans and the people have also put Liu Yushi and his popularity plummeting.
To put it mildly, because of Chu Shi, the popularity of the two has fallen by a full thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent is also a little vain, and they will no longer be the transcendent status of the 'new super-popular queen'.
But in this regard, the two did not regret it, and even put on a posture that even if they quit the entertainment industry, they would never leave Chu Shi!
And Chu Shi also knows very well that such an idea is definitely not pretentious, if things really come to this point, the two will indeed choose themselves instead of their personal entertainment careers.
Chu Shi and Fan Bingling are very satisfied with the attitude of Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, and then contact Fan Bingling to occupy the position of 'wife', in this regard, Chu Shi is indeed quite indebted to Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, and therefore, in the future, Chu Shi's support for the two can be called unscrupulous!
Anyway, everyone knows the relationship between Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran and themselves, and Chu Shi doesn't have the slightest scruples when he takes care of them, not to mention the Dimensional Entertainment Company, and even with his identity as the 'Chairman of Starlight Cinema Line', he has said hello to Tang Dynasty Entertainment Company, Aurora Entertainment Company and many Xiangjiang bigwigs, if there is a suitable opportunity, just greet the two of them.
Regardless of the discussions of ordinary fans and the people, and regardless of the jealous or envious eyes of his peers, Chu Shi unscrupulously praised Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, not to mention, although he lost half of his popularity because of Chu Shi, but in the next two years, with Chu Shi's support, the popularity of the two has not only not retreated in the slightest, but has improved slightly.
However, Fan Bingling was not affected too much, Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran were blessed by misfortune and received Chu Shi's unscrupulous care, and the last Yang Mi was extremely embarrassed, and she also fell into the lowest point of her personal entertainment career, even Chu Shi didn't know how to deal with this woman with a good figure.
