Chapter 407

Hope Film and Television Group finally ushered in the pressure of the theater side, which also made Lin Mu secretly glad that he had set up a theater acquisition plan.

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 the release, but this incident happened at this juncture, and it almost made Lin Mu angry and 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 in 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, Hope 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 Hope 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 now in the hope of film and television, our bank is already very sincere, and the conditions you get when you go to 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, Hope Film and Television Group cast its 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 in the hope of equity in the film and television industry, 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, Hope Film and Television is a 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 Hope 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 Hope Film and Television for free, as long as the foreign funds in the future pass through Sequoia."

One by one, the investment agreements were submitted to Hope Film and Television Company, and then they were all intercepted by Bi Han and did not enter Lin Mu's desk.

"We want loans, not investments!"

"Investment is not negotiable, but loans are easy to talk about." I hope that the attitude of film and television is still resolute.

After a long stalemate, banks and venture capital firms finally faltered. In the end, Hope Film and Television used all the film copyrights, animation, and game copyrights so far plus 10% of the equity of Hope Film and Television Group as collateral to borrow 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 hope film and television, and some discuss the use of the 43 billion.

"Is it because I hope that film and television have encountered difficulties and need 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 Hope Film and Television Group for an interview, but they were forcefully kicked out by the security guards, aggrieved, and then maliciously speculated about the report.

The funds are in place one after another, hoping that the 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 Hope Film and Television Group.

I hope that all the senior executives of the 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 Hope 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, Lin Mu saw "Plane One" and "Hurricane Rescue......

What Lu Yang and Lin Mu were worried about eventually appeared: Lin Mu's creativity was lost......

It is hoped that the film and television company will react soon and directly sue Han Gaozhen and Huang Zhian in court.

The eyes of the entertainment industry once again focused on Hope 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.

I hope that after this incident, the management of the post-production department will be stricter.

Because of the continuous difficulties of the Hope Film and Television Company during this time, netizens jokingly called 2011 the birth year of the Hope 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 Hope Film and Television Company a booster, and morale is high 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 Hope 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 Hope Film and Television has gone through various things, they have great confidence in the quality of "Biochemical Apocalypse".

On the morning of August 3, 2011, the headquarters of Wanda Group, today Wanda Group welcomed more than 70 movie theater owners, and the purpose of their coming today is to persuade theater managers to increase the scheduling rate of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3".

The attendance rate of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" is too terrifying today, and in two days, the attendance rate is 100%. And there are countless fans outside who loudly scold the film scheduling rate for being too low, which can't solve the huge demand for watching movies at all.

Every time they look at the fans who leave in disappointment, and then look at the other theater fans lining up for dozens of meters, they feel like their hearts are bleeding.

It's all money!!

But Wanda Group is also very difficult now, and last night called Hope Film and Television Group to increase the number of films, but the other party was 'arrogant' and proposed a super high box office share ratio of 65%, an increase of 20% over the past!!

Kill people!!

Wanda Group hesitated, and if it agreed, it would not only be humiliating, but also humiliating. But if you don't agree...... Looking at the angry movie theater owners outside, the boss of Wanda Group was forced to ......

On August 5, "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" is still being released, and the attendance rate is still at an astonishing 100%. At this time, at the request of fans across the country, major theaters across the country have increased the scheduling rate of "Biochemical Apocalypse 3", from less than 20% to 50%.

While countless fans are cheering, the owners and shareholders of 35 cinema chains are constantly regretting hitting the wall, because they paid 63% of the box office share. How much money do you have to lose!!
