Chapter 249: Valuation of Crystal Entertainment
"If the past is still worth nostalgia for
Don't be too quick to let go of your suspicions
Who is willing to do this?
There is no concern or concern for each other
We owe each other
We want to break the thread
……」
After a song, Chen Jing looked at Zhang Yadong's OK gesture, and breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished recording the three singles "When You're Old", "Sword Heart" and "The Year in a Hurry".
"This time I got into the state very quickly, and the three songs were recorded in 6 days." Zhang Yadong looked at Chen Jing and smiled.
Chen Jing walked out of the recording studio and said, "The main thing is that Mr. Zhang is good for guidance!"
"You, haha!" Zhang Yadong looked at Chen Jing with a smile, "By the way, when will the other three songs be sent?"
"Wait, it's been written for the most part, and it's being finalized, and I guess I'll give it to you before the end of the month!" Chen Jing said.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Zhang Yadong said.
Then Chen Jing hurriedly returned to Xingmei, and after adding the freshly baked theme song, "Strange Her" was truly completed!
The next step is to organize a film viewing meeting to see how many films Xingmei, Wanda and other theaters are willing to give, and determine the specific release schedule.
Back to Crystal Entertainment, Yang Tianzhen came over.
"Sister Yang!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, I came to report to you about the company's work in 2013." Yang Tianzhen said with a smile.
"Okay!" Chen Jing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "I've been busy filming, and everything in the company is troublesome to Sister Yang."
"Yes." Yang Tianzhen said with a smile, "In fact, there is not much content, mainly in two aspects, one is the income from film investment, and the other is the income from artist management.
In terms of films, in 2013, the company invested in the release of three films: "To Youth", "Small Times" and "Small Times 2".
"To Youth" had a box office of 810 million, ranking second in the mainland's 2013 annual box office list, second only to "Journey to the West" with 1.246 billion.
"Little Times" grossed 483 million yuan, and "Small Times 2" was 290 million yuan, ranking 7th and 14th respectively in the 2013 annual box office list in the mainland.
The total box office of the three films was 1.583 billion yuan.
Excluding production and publicity costs, the company's net profit was 156 million yuan.
In terms of artist brokerage, in addition to Mr. Chen, the company's net profit is 3 million yuan.
In terms of expenditure, including the 33 million yuan for loan repayment, the company spent about 36 million yuan in total last year."
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "Then it seems that the company has made a lot of money this year!"
"It's a lot, it's not bad compared to many film and television companies." Yang Tianzhen said.
Although Crystal Entertainment has only invested in 3 movies, each of them has made money, and it is a big profit, so in terms of net profit, it can definitely rank among the top ten in the industry.
"It is also because the company's performance is so good that the company has received more than 6 acquisition or equity offers." Yang Tianzhen said.
"Oh?" Chen Jing instantly became interested when she heard this, "Which 6? What is their valuation of the company?"
Yang Tianzhen smiled, "Huayi, Xingmei, Guangxian, Pain News, Ahri and Wanda! Among them, Guang Xian gave the lowest valuation, only 3.5 billion, and the highest were Pain News, Wanda and Ahri, all three of which gave offers of 5 billion!"
"5 billion?" Chen Jing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, this price was a bit unexpected.
"The reason why the valuation is so high is because the company's annual net profit is as high as 156 million, and the annual revenue is more than 500 million at the box office alone, which involves the price-earnings ratio, which is generally more than ten times the revenue, so it is natural to be as high as 5 billion. ….
In addition, the company invested in 3 films, all of which were box office hits, and the success rate was so good that there were no failed projects.
In addition, you yourself are a super popular idol who has attracted more than 100 million yuan, so it is not an exaggeration to value Crystal Entertainment at 5 billion.
Look at Pony Feiteng, he hasn't made any achievements in the film industry, but he just relies on Guang
Sue and TV series, the annual net profit is not as good as ours, but the contract is tied to many talents in the industry, and Huayi once gave an acquisition invitation of 5.6 billion." Yang Tianzhen said.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, thinking that the valuation of Crystal Entertainment had reached 5 billion, and she couldn't help laughing.
Yang Tianzhen is also very happy, she can lead Crystal Entertainment to grow together, no matter what, it is a beautiful resume, "So, Mr. Chen, what are you going to do with these share invitations?"
"Let's refuse for the time being, the company is not short of money now." Chen Jing said.
Yang Tianzhen said, "Whether to accept the shares does not necessarily depend on whether there is a lack of money, if the other party can bring you what you need, such as channels, or can help you go public and other favorable conditions, it is still acceptable."
Chen Jing nodded, he naturally knew this, otherwise he would not have invested in Huayi and Xingmei, but Chen Jing felt that Crystal Entertainment had not yet reached its peak, and its valuation could rise again.
"I don't have any plans to go public for the time being, let's see!" Chen Jing said.
Yang Tianzhen felt a little regretful when she heard this, it would be great if Crystal Entertainment could be listed, but everything depends on Chen Jing's meaning.
"Speaking of Pony Feiteng, Mr. Chen, have you heard the news of Li Ming's death?" Yang Tianzhen asked.
Chen Jing nodded, Pony Feiteng is a high-profile new star in the industry, and he has just completed the largest financing in the industry, but he has encountered the blow of the sudden death of the founder.
What's worse is that the next battle for power will be staged for the sister-in-law, coupled with the previous financing VAM agreement, which led to the pony Feiteng finally being auctioned at a low price.
Heaven and hell are just a stone's throw away!
"Although Li Ming is gone, Pony Feiteng has a lot of good projects and a lot of talents, I think we can get a piece of the pie." Yang Tianzhen said.
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "You can give it a try."
Yang Tianzhen smiled and nodded, "By the way, Yixin Entertainment will be established in February, and several founders agree to your shareholding, promising to give you 30% of the shares, and you only need to contribute 2 million."
「OK!」 Chen Jing nodded.
Yixin Entertainment agreed to give Chen Jing a 30% stake, also wanting to take advantage of Chen Jing's fame and the rapid development of Crystal Entertainment.
With the connection with Crystal Entertainment, Yixin Entertainment will undoubtedly be more attractive when signing artists, screenwriters, and directors.
"By the way, buy a few cars for the company, and you can use it to talk about projects and everything in the future." Chen Jing said.
"Good!" Yang Tianzhen nodded.
After Yang Tianzhen left, Chen Jing thought about the fact that she now had a lot of money in her hands, and finally decided to buy a house, and then buy Huayi's shares, and wait until 15 years before throwing it away.
"Hey, Boss Chen!" Zheng Kai said, "Thank you for "The Year of Hurry"!"
The cast of "The Year in a Hurry" has been determined, and the six-person group in the film, in addition to Xiaodi and Tianai who won the first and second women, Peng Yuyan, Zheng Kai, Lin Genxin and Chen He also participated. ….
"Let's not be polite, you can act well, and it will be a big hit at the box office." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"I'm only responsible for filming, I'm not responsible for the box office!" Zheng Kai smiled, "And Chen He, he didn't have your phone, and let me thank you for saying that I had time to invite you to dinner."
"Won't you please?" Chen Jing said, "You said it yourself, how many times have you said that you invited you to eat, but you didn't eat once."
"The main thing is that this is your home field, and if you get to the magic capital, you will start with a one-stop service." Zheng Kai said proudly.
"Okay, I'll wait for your demon capital dragon." Chen Jing said with a smile.
I heard that Zheng Kai has a background in his family, so even in Huayi, he will not be particularly careful in the face of the big and small kings, and he is more confident.
Thinking about being able to open a bar in the magic capital, the little prince of nightclubs, it shouldn't be so simple.
"By the way, the premiere of "Predecessor Raiders" in the imperial capital on January 21, will you come?" Zheng Kai asked.
"It depends, if I'm not busy, I'll definitely participate!" Chen Jing said.
"Okay, then we're waiting for you!" Zheng Kaidao
。
After ending the call, Chen Jing thought that when "Predecessor Raiders" was released, Mina and Tianai should come back, and when the time came, they would really take the time to go.
Thinking of the scene last time in the big flat, Chen Jing couldn't help but be a little moved.
At this time, the crew of "Little Times" had already left the imperial capital and went to Italy for filming, so Chen Jing couldn't see a few women.
Chen Jing, who was temporarily idle, began to continue writing songs, and there were still three singles to complete.
Thinking about "When You're Old", "The Year in a Hurry" and "Kenshin" are all theme songs for film and television dramas.
Chen Jing wrote "Just Once", "Year Ring" and "Don't Compromise".
These three singles are the theme songs or interludes of "Charlotte's Troubles", "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo".
This year, let's have a big collection of theme songs for film and television dramas.
After completing the three singles, Chen Jing sent the three songs to Zhang Yadong and asked him to help arrange the songs.
Subsequently, Chen Jing ushered in the viewing party of "Strange Her".
"Mr. Qin, why are you here?" Chen Jing greeted with a smile.
"Boss Chen is our company's trump card, and I will definitely support you for your ***!" Qin Hong said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, are you here in person?" Chen Jing looked at Lu Zhengdao.
"Boss Chen made every mistake, so I want to see how good the movie you directed this time can be." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu praised it!" Chen Jing waved his hand.
Subsequently, Huaying and glamorous filmmakers also came.
Soon, everyone came to Xingmei's viewing room.
"Thank you very much for taking the time to come to the screening of 'Strange Her'." Chen Jing said, "I won't say more beautiful words, let's talk about it after watching the film."
"It seems that Boss Chen is very confident!"
"Boss Chen hasn't missed a shot yet!"
"Hahaha......
……
Chen Jing didn't care about everyone's ridicule, and smiled and signaled that he could start.
Then, when "Strange Her" was completed, it was the first formal interview.
During the playback of the film, Chen Jing didn't have much heart to watch it, because he had already watched it countless times, and Chen Jing mainly observed the reactions of several viewers. ….
"Strange Her" is a romantic comedy, so whether it can make the viewer laugh is an important point.
Fortunately, even if the age of the people here is not too young, they still laugh from time to time during the viewing process.
At the same time, "Strange Her" is also a film involving the elderly, and there are some sensational clips at the end, which makes everyone here seem to feel something.
Two hours passed, and when the subtitles were raised, several people in the audience applauded.
Wait until the curtains are drawn and the room is bright again.
Qin Hong smiled and patted Chen Jing's arm and said, "Seriously, Boss Chen, this *** act of yours surprised me a little, it's even better than I imagined!"
"That's true." Lu Zheng also nodded, "There are tears in the smile, full of laughter, I also brought it into it, it is unexpectedly good-looking."
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "The two bosses said this, and the stone in my heart can finally land."
"Haha......" Lu Zheng said with a smile, "Boss Chen is too modest, don't say much, let's get to the point, what schedule does Boss Chen want "Strange Her" to be released?"
In 2014, the film market is not as hot as in later generations, the best schedule is the New Year, and there are almost summer files, followed by the National Day files, Spring Festival files and May Day files.
"I want to try the summer file!" Chen Jing said.
The best Chinese New Year stalls are a little too far away, and the summer stalls are more suitable, and they are also a hot schedule.
Of course, there are many summer films and great competitiveness, especially this year, there is a "Transformers 4", and the box office has directly reached more than 1.9 billion yuan.
Not only refreshed "Avatar
has maintained a mainland box office record for more than 3 years, and almost broke 2 billion!
And "Transformers 4" itself can do 2 billion, but it has been regulated, so it didn't break 20!
"Summer file?" Qin Hong frowned slightly when she heard this, "There are a lot of blockbusters in this schedule, especially the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 4", which is unanimously optimistic in the industry."
Lu Zheng also nodded.
Chen Jing smiled, "I know that "Transformers 4" is indeed a huge threat, but it will be released at the end of June, and I want "Strange Her" to be released on July 31, so that I can avoid its edge."
"Then it seems that Boss Chen is very confident, and the other videos will not be taken into account!" Lu Zheng joked.
"Of course not!" Chen Jing shook his head and said, "However, after listening to the comments of the two of you just now, I became more bold and wanted to try the summer file."
"Okay, no problem." Lu Zheng said, "On July 31, we Wanda will give you the highest schedule."
Qin Hong watched Lu Zheng resist the urge to roll her eyes, Wanda is so interested in "Strange Her", in addition to the fact that the film is really good, she still wants to win over Chen Jing.
Wanda's quotation of the news of Crystal Entertainment, Qin Hong has long known.
But after all, Chen Jing's current brokerage contract is still signed in Xingmei, so Qin Hong naturally can't be stingy.
"Xingmei will give "Strange Her" the highest film schedule, which Boss Chen can rest assured." Qin Hong patted his chest and reassured.
"Then thank you two CEOs." Chen Jing was naturally very happy when she heard this.
Later, the people of Huaying also expressed their optimism about the film, and they will take care of the film scheduling when the time comes.
The statements of Huaying, Xingmei and Wanda made Chen Jing couldn't help but be excited, these three are the top three in domestic theaters, and with their support, the box office of "Strange Her" will definitely not be bad.
Add to that the quality of "Strange Her" and it is even possible to create an amazing box office!
