Chapter 177: Lightning Acquires Tang Film and Television
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Chen Lin, who was still lying in bed, was woken up by Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others.
They are here to report the good news, the premiere ratings of "Fengyun" are Changhong, with an average rating of 6.13 in the country and an audience rating of 15 in Haiben City.
Another "Peerless Double Pride" also achieved remarkable results, with an average rating of 5.15 in the country and 14.85 in Jiangsu*Suben Province.
Some people may complain, what kind of ratings is Changhong, compared to the ratings of "Meteor Garden" breaking 30, it is weak, in fact, the current domestic market ratings above 3 can be called high ratings, and in a few years, when the rise of online video, the ratings of a TV series can break 1 and burn high incense, "Step by Step" is very popular, but the highest rating is only 1.7.
So in 98, the ratings of the premiere of "Fengyun" were 6.13, which was a proper fire, and as for 30, and even more demonic, the ratings of Huanzhu Gege once broke 50, these two dramas are relatively special, do not belong to the normal range, and cannot be used as a measurement indicator.
Chen Lin originally expected that he would be satisfied with the first broadcast of "Fengyun" and break 3, and he would be able to have 6.13, which also benefited from the fight with "The Peerless Double Pride".
This ring is played well and wonderfully, and both dramas are hot. Both of them are rated by Changhong, which is a win-win situation.
There is no need for Chen Lin to tell Jade Emperor Entertainment and Tang Ren to hype up again in the coming week, of course, this time it is not a pure attack, but to invite film critics, celebrities, and reporters to analyze and compare the highlights of the two dramas, and guide public opinion to continue to pay attention to the two works.
The two dramas have their own highlights, and the advantages of "Fengyun" lie in the beautiful pictures, gorgeous colors, and magical light and shadow effects.
In addition, the most heated topic discussed by the audience is the handsome guys and beautiful women in the film, Gu Tianle, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, the three male gods have fascinated the hearts of countless girls, and Yu Yu. Lin Zhiling and Fan Bingbing, the three beauties who captivated the country and the city, also fascinated the majority of otaku. In the end, when "Fengyun" was released, the national average rating reached 12.
Although "The Peerless Twins" is inferior, with Lin Zhiying's excellent performance, Xiao Yuer has also won the love of many people, and thanks to the tacit hype between the two families, many viewers watched "Fengyun" at night, and watched the replay of "The Peerless Twins" during the day, or vice versa.
In the end, when "The Peerless Twins" was released, the national average rating also reached an impressive score of 9.8.
The premiere was successful, the crew of "Fengyun" was very happy, Chen Lin saw that everyone slept late last night, so everyone dispersed to the room to rest. Noon, he invited him to a big meal.
Hearing the cheers of everyone who had delicious food, it took a while to disperse happily.
Chen Lin sent the crew away, and was just about to close the door when Manager Yang came, and he came to report the details of the Tang Film and Television investigation.
Tang Film and Television has fixed assets of 2 million, 65 employees, and 3 signed artists, one of whom was popular for a while, and suddenly stopped filming, and then married Li Yanpeng, a diva-singer. The other two are both art school students, and their names have never been heard of, so don't mention them.
In addition, the experience of Tang boss Cai Yinong was also heard by Manager Yang, Cai Yinong. The 27-year-old used to work as a feature journalist and had been active in Hong Kong, where she worked as a production coordinator for the Hong Kong Film Awards. He used to be the director of the actor resources department of Hong Kong Film and Television Company. At the same time, he also serves as the manager of the marketing department. At the age of 25, he established the Hong Kong Film and Television Company China Film Group and served as the general manager. This year, he formed Tang Film and Television International Co., Ltd.
In a word, although Ms. Cai is young, her qualifications in the entertainment industry are not shallow, and she is more senior than Chen Lin's wife Yu Yu.
Why did Chen Lin ask Manager Yang to investigate the Tang people? The purpose is simple. It's about buying it.
In this free time, Chen Lin has a clear development context for Jade Emperor Entertainment, first of all, within three years, Jade Emperor TV Production Company will be among the second echelon in the field of domestic TV dramas and become the leader of the second echelon.
After this goal is achieved, it is time for Jade Emperor Entertainment to enter the film market.
So what is the second echelon? And what is the first echelon?
The first and second echelons were divided by Jade Emperor Entertainment when analyzing the distribution of strength in the domestic TV field. According to the company's survey, the current domestic TV field is divided into three echelons according to its strength.
The first echelon is the radio and television group with the national prefix, holding the capital and the broadcast platform, such as the China International Television Corporation controlled by CCTV, Shanghai * * Shanghai Oriental Media Group, Guang * Southeast Radio, Film and Television Media Group, Hunan * South Satellite TV Radio and Television Group, Zhejiang * Jiang Film and Television Group, etc. They are strong and in a monopoly position, and private enterprises are generally difficult to shake.
The second echelon is Hairun, Jin Yingma, and Pony Galloping, three old private powerhouses, who have experienced many years of hard work and big waves in the market. Most of the TV dramas produced are known for their medium cost, excellent production, and high profitability.
The third echelon is the rising star Jade Emperor Entertainment, Yinrun, and Great Aim companies. In fact, with the strength of Jade Emperor Entertainment, it can be ranked in the second echelon, but after all, it has been established for a short time and has insufficient background, so it is temporarily ranked in the third echelon.
For the time being, the national prefix does not dare to compare, how strong is Hairun Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., the strongest and largest private film and television company in the second echelon? In 2010, there was a data showing that Hairun produced more than 600 TV dramas on average every year, making it a well-deserved leader among private enterprises.
The goal of Jade Emperor Entertainment is to replace Hairun and become the boss of private enterprises.
However, it is definitely not enough to rely on the step-by-step mode of filming TV series for three years, and it is unlikely that you want to surpass the other party, and only through mergers and acquisitions can you develop by leaps and bounds in the short term, and quickly catch up with and surpass the other party.
Jade Emperor Entertainment already has the conditions for expansion, and Tang Film and Television is very satisfied with the acquisition conditions in his heart, first, its scale is not large, and it is easy to digest after the merger, and second, the Tang team is very combative, which can also be seen from the hype of "Fengyun" this time.
After listening to Manager Yang's report, Chen Lin instructed several executives in Shanghai to come up with a feasible acquisition plan for him by tomorrow morning.
After explaining this, Chen Lin went back to the bedroom and went to sleep beautifully.
……
Morning, 7:30 a.m., Shanghai * Haitang Film and Television Company, reception room.
Chen Lin was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea leisurely, and he was waiting for Cai Yinong, the boss of the Tang Dynasty.
People in the Tang Company were surprised by his appearance, and they didn't understand what this Jade Emperor Entertainment elder was doing, was he here to slap his face?
It shouldn't be enough, everyone knows the hype. Although the two high-level executives scolded each other very much, and even the two bosses joined in attacking each other, what is the big deal, who will take it seriously?
Chen Lin didn't wait long, and 10 minutes later, the two bosses who were still slandering each other the night before met in the reception room.
The two met politely and admired each other for a long time, congratulating each other on the ratings of Changhong, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness of the night before.
"Mr. Lin, why did you, a big man, suddenly come to my small company today?" After a few words of greeting, Cai Yinong asked about Chen Lin's purpose.
"I said I hadn't woken up yet, and I came here in a daze, and I didn't know what I was going to do? Do you believe it? Chen Lin blinked and quipped.
"I believe it." Cai Yinong replied quickly and crisply.
After speaking, the two looked at each other. One, two, three...... Five seconds later, the two of them laughed almost at the same time.
The pimple in the hearts of the two disappeared in the laughter, and after a while, Chen Lin got straight to the point, and said: "Mr. Cai, I won't tell you, I'm here to ask for cooperation." ”
"Cooperation? Mr. Lin, please say. Cai Yinong said curiously.
Chen Lin smiled and took out a document and handed it to her, and there was a line of big words on the cover page of the document: "Jade Emperor Television Production Co., Ltd. merger and acquisition of Tang Film and Television Contract Plan (first draft)" fell into Cai Yinong's eyes.
"Mr. Lin. You're not here for cooperation, are you? Cai Yinong didn't look at the content of the contract, but stared at Chen Lin and asked.
"Mr. Cai, why don't you look at the document and draw conclusions." Chen Lin said with a smile.
Cai Yinong resisted the urge to get up to see off the guests, and looked at the contract documents in his hand with a restrained temperament.
The document first lists the asset valuation statements of the Tang people.
The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, because the above report was very detailed, and the Tang people's family background was clear.
The details were touched so clearly by others, so her first thought was that there was a ghost in the company. But now was not the time to think about it, she took a breath and continued to watch.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and 500000000 yuan was clearly written in the list of purchase amounts.
50 million. Cai Yinong finally showed a look of shock, and in an instant, countless messy thoughts flashed in her heart.
The total assets of the Tang people are only 2 million, don't look at the investment of "Peerless Shuangjiao" is 15 million. 90% of the investment is foreign funds, and Tangren's own investment is only a pitiful 1.5 million
It is normal for film and television companies to raise funds from the outside world in order to share risks, and the demons like Jade Emperor Entertainment and Chen Lin are basically sole proprietorships, in fact, the senior management of Jade Emperor has also suggested that this is very risky, because no one can predict that a work can be profitable, and less than 10% of the tens of thousands of episodes in the TV drama field are profitable every year.
The premiere of "The Peerless Shuangjiao" sold 28 million, and the profit that fell into the bag of 15 million after deducting 15 million was 1.3 million. If you add the next few rounds of playback and copyright income, it will be between 3 million and 5 million.
Therefore, 50 million is a very attractive price code, a very sincere price code, in fact, the Tang people are worth 10 million at most, which also takes into account the income of "The Peerless Shuangjiao".
She took a deep breath and continued to read, and there were supplementary terms later, the real cash in the purchase price was 10 million, and the other 40 million was converted into 4% of the shares of Jade Emperor Television Production Co., Ltd.
There is also a clause in the contract that all the senior management of Tang Company will continue to stay in their posts, and she will be hired as the general manager of Jade Emperor Television Production Co., Ltd.
"Mr. Cai, there is an article in the contract that is not written, as long as you serve as the general manager, you will receive 3% of the annual dividend of Jade Emperor TV." At this time, Chen Lin added, and then looked at the other party for a long time.
He believes that such generous conditions are enough to attract the other party, if she is not satisfied with this and refuses to merge and acquisition, first of all, the other senior executives and shareholders of the Tang people will oppose it, and there are still not many people who really regard money as dung.
Even if she doesn't agree, Chen Lin still has a plan B, then use extraordinary means, bully people with money, poach people at a high price, Tang people have not been established for a short time, the core personnel have not formed a sense of sincerity and belonging to the company, and Tang people have not given preferential treatment to core personnel like Jade Emperor Company, Chen Lin believes that under the temptation of money, it will not take 1 month to hollow out Tang Company.
Cai Yinong finally finished reading the entire contract, she thought for 10 minutes, and then suddenly stood up and stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I will be your little soldier in the future." ”
"Ha Luha, if Mr. Cai is a soldier, then I am a waiter, a waiter who specializes in serving soldiers." Chen Lin stood up happily.
The two held hands together and both smiled.
Jade Emperor Entertainment's merger and acquisition of Tang Film and Television was completed. (To be continued......)
