Chapter 545: The Three-Line Alliance Runs Aground
If Han Jin remembers correctly, Sony Records is now worth only a billion US dollars, and in the 21st century it will become the world's largest music company, with a market value of up to 20 billion US dollars.
If you invest in Sony Records now, then Han Jin can take this economic express. At the same time, after becoming a shareholder of Sony Records, it is also convenient for him to exhibit in the world music scene in the future.
"I'll ask headquarters for instructions on this." , surprised, but not too surprised.
If it were him, he would probably do the same. Rather than waiting a long time to get your royalties, it is better to exchange some shares of the company now, after all, this is a real benefit.
It's just that Han Jin is now taking 820 songs as a shareholder, and the value of these songs will have to be re-evaluated. And how much shares Sony Records can give up for Han Jin is also a matter that needs to be discussed, and it may be difficult to give Han Jin an answer in a short time.
"Well, it's okay, give me $150 million first, and then we'll talk about the shares." Han Jin said with a smile, he also knows that investing in Sony Records is not an overnight thing.
"Okay, nice to work with.".
Kawasaki was also surprised to see that Han Jin planned to invest in Sony Records.
Just a year ago, he was just a little-known artist signed by Sony Records from Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, a year later, he was about to become his own boss, and the speed of his growth was really amazing.
……
, of which there are more than 500 A+ grade songs, A
There are also more than 100 ++-level songs, and there are even more than 30 S-level divine comedies. These songs have so much commercial value that it's like digging a gold mine...... and conveyed Han Jin's hope to take a stake in Sony Records to the company's senior management.
After Sony Records got the report, it was also pleasantly surprised by the matter.
820 high-quality songs are of infinite value to a record company. These songs will greatly enrich their library, and the record label earns half of its annual revenue. It comes from the performance royalties of classic songs in the music library.
Not to mention 820 songs, how many singers can be popular, and how many record sales can be increased...... Sony Records may even become the hegemon of the global music scene with these more than 800 songs.
Therefore, Sony's senior management also attaches great importance to this matter, and after repeatedly confirming that these songs are really of high quality, and there is no sign of plagiarism, they immediately responded positively to Han Jin's request.
150 million US dollars, after confirming that all the songs were correct, he immediately called Han Jin. Even the world's best record labels. It is not easy for Sony Records to scrape together so much cash, and it needs to borrow money from the bank temporarily. But in order to keep Han Jin, a genius, they still tried their best to make up such a large amount of money.
Able to compose 820A level songs,.
If you can retain such talents, even if you spend more money, it is worth it. Therefore, when the company's senior management heard that Han Jin wanted to take a stake in Sony Records, they were even more overjoyed and hit it off.
This is definitely a good thing for them, if Han Jin can become a shareholder of Sony Records, then when his contract ends. He won't go to other music companies anymore. This is definitely a great thing for Sony Records. And in doing so, you can save hundreds of millions of dollars in upfront payments. It's like killing two birds with one stone, so why not.
Sony Records immediately sent someone to Hong Kong to talk to Han Jin about the shareholding, along with lawyers from major American investment consulting firms and well-known law firms.
These people are all moved by the news, they are already well-connected in the financial world, and any huge transaction will not escape their eyes.
This time, Han Jin and Sony Records made a huge deal. Naturally, it did not escape their eyes either.
And a wealthy man like Han Jin, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars but does not have his own investment adviser and private lawyer, is extremely rare in the United States.
If you can win such a big client as him, no matter for the investment company. Or for law firms, it will be a lucrative big deal. That's why they traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong, just to convince Han Jin that they could hire them.
The investment advisor has prepared a number of investment intent letters for Han Jin, promising how much wealth can be added to him every year and how much tax can be evaded......
The law firm will also provide personal services for Han Jin, so that he has no worries at all and does not have to worry about his rights and interests being infringed.
……
, and returned to Hong Kong with Wang Qixian.
Now his new album is still selling well in Hong Kong, RTHK's Chinese song Dragon and Tiger list, as well as TVB's Golden Song Chart, and Han Jin's new songs are on the list. This week's sales have reached 500,000 copies, and it is not uncommon for them to reach 800,000 copies.
In addition to the hot sales of the new album, "The Sky Stealing Project" starring Han Jin, Zhong Chuhong and Zeta-Jones is still in theaters.
The box office has exceeded 35 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is soaring towards the box office of 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes Hong Kong filmmakers and ordinary people feel very shocked.
You must know that such a grand release was only available three years ago when "Best Partner: The Bald Detective" was released. At that time, half of the audience in Hong Kong went to the cinema to watch the movie. Unexpectedly, this time, Han Jin's "Sky Stealing Plan" was also so popular.
The reason why this film is so popular is that in addition to the strong box office appeal of Han Jin and Zhong Chuhong, it is also stained with the novelty of the story and the light of rigorous logic.
Hong Kong has rarely had such high-tech treasure theft movies before, which has something to do with the general low culture of Hong Kong filmmakers. Most filmmakers have graduated from high school or even primary school, and only a very small number of them have graduated from university.
In this way, it is a little difficult for them to write stories with high-tech elements. Just like many filmmakers may not even have access to a computer, if they are asked to write a story about a computer virus invading the network. Wouldn't that kill them?!
In addition to the novelty of the subject matter, the logic of the story "Sky Stealing Project" is also rigorous, which is actually very important.
The audience goes to the theater to watch a movie to entertain themselves, not to make the director play himself like a fool.
So when the story is hard and inconsistent. The viewer's viewing experience will be greatly reduced. This is also the reason why the box office of "True Colors of Heroes 2" is more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars less than that of "True Colors of Heroes 1".
The audience is actually not a fool, those filmmakers who treat the audience as fools, thinking that they can make a big profit by shooting casually, are the real big fools.
Han Jin knew this truth, so when he and Wang Jing created the script of "Sky Stealing Plan", they did not hesitate to spend a lot of energy to revise it, so they got such a good script.
Unlike some production companies in Hong Kong, there was not even a script before the film started. Wherever the script is filmed, the script is written, so it's no wonder that the movie made in this way can be good.
The so-called vague things are expensive, and because of this, after the launch of this "Sky Stealing Plan", it firmly attracted the attention of the audience with its novel story and high-tech elements.
Plus the combination of handsome men and beautiful women, especially Zeta Jones. She looks really glamorous and moving. Bi Cheng Long's "Food Truck".
With her stunning performance in this film, Zeta Jones has also become one of Hong Kong's most glamorous new stars. It has been favored by many film companies. As well as the coveted dandy.
In addition, the fiery action scenes, charming British style, neat martial arts action, exciting speeding car chases, etc., all make this movie extremely watchable.
comparatively. "Summer Lucky Star", which is still in the style of urban action comedy, and "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" in the style of campus youth comedy, seem to be a bit sloppy, self-contained, and lack of novelty.
The two of them were released for three weeks, and the box office of "Summer Lucky Star" has just exceeded 18 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year, it is nearly half of the box office.
"Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" has just exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Although compared with the investment of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, this movie is sure to make money, but it is still not as good as last year's "Happy Ghost", which made Huang Baiming also surprised.
At the end of the year, the box office of "Sky Stealing Project" was HK$42 million, breaking the HK$40 million mark for the first time in Hong Kong, and it is estimated that 2.7 million viewers will enter the theater to enjoy the film. There are 200,000 more viewers than the "Best Partner: Bald Detective", which is unprecedented.
The box office of "Summer Lucky Star" is only 20 million Hong Kong dollars, compared with the investment of 13 million Hong Kong dollars, this movie is a loss, and it can only be made up for through the income from selling ports.
The box office of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is 11 million Hong Kong dollars, although the investment of 3 million Hong Kong dollars is earned, but the income is not as expected, which makes Huang Baiming feel very depressed.
In this year's summer file, Yongsheng Entertainment became the biggest winner of the third-tier alliance with this "Sky Stealing Plan". Seeing the high income of 42 million Hong Kong dollars, whether it is Golden Harvest or Princess Jin, it is impossible to have other thoughts in my heart.
They are all worried that if this continues, the biggest beneficiary of the third-tier alliance may not be themselves, but Han Jin, a junior who has just risen.
The third-tier alliance has put an end to the malicious competition between the three major film companies, and the box office of the films released in the future depends on the publicity and the quality of the films.
And now it seems that the quality of the movies launched by Yongsheng Entertainment has always been quite good. The first film, "Lust is Empty", sold 23 million at the box office, which was funny and sensational, filling the gap of Hong Kong sex comedies.
The second "Ghost Horse and Flying Man" continues the theme of campus youth, and the third "Mr. Zombie" creates a new chapter in zombie films...... Several films are all good-looking and blockbuster.
If you look at it this way, it is clear that the potential of Yongsheng Entertainment has been underestimated before.
Before, because it had just been exhibited, neither the Golden Princess nor Golden Harvest had fully realized its potential, and thought that it would take a long time for it to grow to the point where it could threaten them. But now, it seems that in just one year, they have become very threatening.
The box office of "Sky Stealing Plan" is 42 million Hong Kong dollars, of which at least 12 million Hong Kong dollars should belong to Golden Harvest and New Art City, but they were all snatched away by "Sky Stealing Plan".
The reason for this is because of the "three-line alliance", so that film companies cannot attack each other. If it weren't for it, Golden Harvest and New Arts City could send film critics to the newspaper to smear and slander the film, and cool down its popular box office.
So now that the "three-line alliance" is united, it has not seen its benefits, but has suffered first, and both Jiahe and Princess Jin feel that if this continues, they are likely to suffer a lot of losses, so they unanimously decided to suspend the negotiations of the third-line alliance. Wait until they think about it. (To be continued!)
