"Boss, many partners have come to ask what project our company plans are for next. Including several David TV, as well as penguin video, pea video, these ......"

During the Olympics, Fang Xing basically rested at home, and the release of the album has also been settled.

Of course, on Monday of every week, Fang Xing will still go to the company to attend the weekly work meeting.

Qiao Yinghong first made a summary of the work of the past week.

The sales of the album have entered a plateau, and the long-term effect is very good.

This album has at least 10 million sales revenue every month, and there will be VIP membership sharing and copyright income in the future.

After the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Fang Xing was completely idle.

According to Fang Xing's habit, take a break for a while, and you will have a new work plan.

If it is a music job, Fang Xing is a shareholder of Songshi Records, and basically will not cooperate with other record companies.

If it is a film and television plan, then there are more opportunities for cooperation.

Up to now.

The two TV series produced by Ark Culture, "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning", both of which are hits, and they are both big hits produced by B-level productions.

This kind of project with small investment and high rate of return is a hen that lays golden eggs, and it is the favorite type of investment for film and television companies.

Because the investment is small, even if you lose, you won't lose much.

Once it becomes a hit drama, not only will the investment return be huge, but it can also stuff the artists in the company into the TV series, so that the TV series will become popular among the company's artists.

Therefore, as soon as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games ended, many partners came to inquire about the news.

Qiao Yinghong's response is basically that there is no project plan for the time being.

"Boss, what are you going to do next?" After Qiao Yinghong finished her work report, she asked the question she was most concerned about.

"Not yet, let's get the job done at hand first." Fang Xing really doesn't have a new work plan.

"At present, all David TV and film and television companies want to ask us if we have any film and television plans. Does the boss have an idea now? Or do you want to hold a concert? With the boss's current music library, it is enough to hold a concert. Qiao Yinghong made two suggestions.

Generally speaking, if a singer wants to have a solo concert, the premise is that the song can be sung for the whole concert.

The second is that tickets have to be sold.

Now, Merlin Records is preparing for a national tour for Tan Zhiguan, and tickets for the Donghai Station have already gone on sale.

"The concert will not be held for the time being, and the tickets are still too expensive for most people. I'll talk about it later when I need it. Fang Xing is not considering the concert for the time being.

Qiao Yinghong nodded, and then said: "Also, the regulatory department of radio and television has issued a document and needs to send someone to a meeting. ”

"You can arrange this matter, and we will strictly implement the requirements of the national regulatory authorities." Fang Xing expressed his attitude.

"Okay." Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed, and wrote it down in her notebook with a pen.

Towards the end of the regular meeting, Fang Xing remembered something and asked, "How much money does the company have in its account now?" ”

Qiao Yinghong communicated with the chief financial officer and replied: "We don't have any investment projects in the near future, the funds are very abundant, and the funds that can be used directly are 100 million, and if the demand is greater, we can raise another 100 million within three months." ”

"Enough, have time to talk to Liang Whale, and if he wants, buy his studio. I plan to expand and develop into a film and television animation company. Fang Xing said his plan.

"Spirited Away" produced by Liang Whale Studio is in its late stage.

In this animated film, Ark Culture is the main investor, accounting for 50%.

In addition, Fang Xing, as a director, screenwriter and producer, also has another 10% dividend, and the remaining 40% is from investors such as Liang Whale Studio and Jade Bird Film and Television.

Regarding the acquisition of Liang Whale Studio, Fang Xing has not talked to him yet, and he is not sure if he is willing or not.

If he wants, then Fang Xing is ready to use his studio as a foundation and develop into a film and television animation company.

If he doesn't want to, then buy another animation company.

Now that the animation industry is not in a recession, large companies are fine, many small companies are facing the situation of bankruptcy, and it is not difficult to acquire a small animation company.

Of course, Fang Xing's first choice is to cooperate with Liang Whale.

After all, I have worked together, and I know Liang Whale's personality and personality better.

Fang Xing likes Liang Whale who concentrates on doing things, rather than concentrating on making money.

……

After the regular work meeting, Qiao Yinghong personally chatted with Liang Whale.

This matter is very important, and Liang Whale can't make up his mind for a while.

That night, he called Fang Xing, hoping to meet.

Fang Xing asked him to come to the Ark Culture the next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Fang woke up to the company, Liang Jing was already waiting in the office.

"Have you had breakfast?" After Fang Xing sat down, he asked casually.

"Eat, eat, eat." Liang Whale grabbed the briefcase in his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"Let me come over today, you should know the matter. I'm thinking about buying an animation company, or maybe it's okay to inject capital. Because we have worked together, we are quite harmonious, so if you want, we will work together in the future. If you think it's better to go it alone, then I'll ask people to talk about other animation companies. As soon as Fang Xing came up, he directly expressed his attitude.

Although the cooperation between the two parties in "Spirited Away" is very pleasant, but this time after all, it is to acquire his studio, and it is better to make things clear.

In business, all the terms are laid out in the open, which can avoid conflicts in the future.

Liang Whale was actually very hesitant, he pushed his glasses again, and asked, "Listen to Mr. Qiao, you want to develop a film and television animation company?" ”

"There is indeed a plan, and the acquisition of an animation company is the first step." Fang Xing nodded and replied.

"But my studio is actually very small." Liang Whale was a little worried.

"It's enough to be able to finish an animated film. In the future, the company can develop slowly, it depends on your own ideas. Fang Xing didn't urge him.

"How much does that party always want to inject money?" Liang did not use the word "acquisition" because he developed the studio single-handedly, and he still hoped to keep some shares.

"I have estimated with an investment company that your Liang Whale Studio, at its current valuation, is 30 million. Much of that value comes from the unfinished Spirited Away. Fang Xing's tone was calm, and he didn't deliberately belittle him.

Regarding the valuation of the studio, Liang Whale is very clear in his heart.

His studio, before cooperating with Fang Xing, was actually a grass platform team, looking for people to invest everywhere, and it was on the verge of dissolution several times.

It wasn't until Fang Xing's investment that he started producing "Spirited Away" that he began to recruit people, expand the studio, and produce this animated film.

So far, Liang Whale Studio's project is only one "Spirited Away".

Although he personally likes this animated movie very much, it is still unknown whether the cost will be recovered after the movie is released.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

After all, now that animated films have been made, it is still unknown whether they can be released.

After the release, it is also unknown whether the cost can be recovered.

Liang Whale has only one goal for this animated film, to recover the cost.

As long as the cost is recovered, then he has the next project.

If you can't even recover the cost, then you don't know when the next project will wait.

Therefore, the value of his studio depends entirely on the project "Spirited Away".

If this project hits the street, the value of his studio will fall to the bottom, and if the project makes money, then the value of his work will also increase.

Liang Whale is a person who wants to concentrate on animation, and when it comes to business, he really doesn't like it, and he doesn't do it.

He's not stupid, though.

He knew very well that if he could make money on Spirited Away, then his studio's valuation would go up.

If "Spirited Away" hits the streets, his studio will be worthless.

Currently, the production of Spirited Away is in its final stages.

Fang Xing proposed to acquire his studio at this time, and this time point is very delicate.

Liang Whale asked tentatively: "Mr. Fang, are you very confident in "Spirited Away"? ”

Fang Xing smiled and replied, "Of course, I am the editor of this animated film, and I am also responsible for part of the director's work. I certainly have faith in it.

"I understand what you're thinking, you think it's a big gamble.

"If Spirited Away becomes popular, your studio's valuation will skyrocket.

"In other words, when that time comes, you can sell the studio and you can get more money.

"If Spirited Away loses, the value of your studio will plummet.

"In short, it depends on whether you want to accept the capital injection before the release of "Spirited Away", or wait until after the release."

Liang Whale hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just want to know the purpose of Mr. Fang's acquisition of the studio." ”

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said directly: "I'll tell you directly." I'm confident in Spirited Away, and when the movie is released, your studio's valuation should go up.

"You should be able to make a lot of money from the project Spirited Away.

"This animated film was made by you with the team, and you deserve it for making money.

"However, I'll be honest with you, when Spirited Away comes out, I won't be thinking about investing in your studio, but buying another animation company.

"It's as simple as that, now that you accept the injection, we'll continue to work together.

"If you want to go it alone, then for this animated film, you will get the reward you deserve."

After hearing this, Liang Whale raised his eyebrows.

Because Fang Xing's words were too straightforward.

Not even the slightest hint of truth is hidden.

Liang Whale's heart beat wildly, and he also understood what Fang Xing meant.

If his studio accepts the infusion, there will be collaborative projects in the future.

If he doesn't accept the capital injection, then Fang Xing will buy another animation company.

This means that Fang Xing's future animation projects will no longer cooperate with him.

Of course.

If Spirited Away makes money, then his studio will definitely be able to get other animation projects.

The key point now is whether he attaches importance to cooperation with Fang Xing.

After Fang Xing showed his attitude, he looked at him with a smile.

In fact, on this kind of issue, Fang Xing has always given the opportunity to choose the partner he coordinated.

This has been the case since "Wulin Gaiden".

If Song Yutong was willing to reduce her salary to take on the role of "Guo Furong", then now Song Yutong can already try to be a first-line actress.

and Lin Yingxue, if she is willing to take "The Beginning" for the sake of the cooperation she has worked with and accept "The Beginning" at a friendly price, then she can also reach the top of the second line.

Now, Fang Xing plans to start an animation company, and is ready to acquire a company, it depends on whether Liang Whale is willing or not.

Liang Whale is actually struggling.

He values the cooperation with Fang Xing, but the studio is also his heart's work.

He thought about it all night last night, and he didn't sleep much.

Fang Xing saw his hesitation, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you go back and think about it first, just give me an answer within a week." ”

Liang Whale thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Fang, after you acquire the studio, will there be any animation projects in the future?" ”

Fang Xing nodded and admitted, "Of course, otherwise what am I going to do with the acquisition of an animation company?" ”

Liang Jing asked again: "If I accept the capital injection, I hope to leave a part of the shares for myself and the entrepreneurial team at the beginning." ”

One of the reasons why Fang Xing wanted to buy his studio was also because he valued his ability to produce animation.

If you want to cooperate for a long time, of course, you must leave him a part of the shares.

Otherwise, who would want to work for nothing?

Fang Xing replied: "If you accept the capital injection, then I will inject 50 million to acquire 80% of the shares, and leave the remaining 20% of the shares for you and your team." ”

When Liang Whale heard this answer, he was finally moved.

He knew very well that with his ability, without Fang Xing's help, his studio might have been disbanded by now.

If you want to develop the studio into an animation company in the future, you will definitely need a lot of money.

Even if you don't accept Fang Xing's capital injection, you have to accept capital injection from other investment companies.

The difference is only that if "Spirited Away" is released and makes money, his studio's valuation will be higher, and he will get more money.

However, Fang Xing's meaning is also obvious, after the release of "Spirited Away", he will no longer want his studio, but choose other animation companies.

After Liang Whale thought about it clearly, he immediately agreed: "I am willing to accept the capital injection, and I will go back and discuss with the team to sign the contract." ”

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "Okay, when the time comes, you and Mr. Qiao will contact, and someone will go to talk to you about the specific details of the capital injection." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, then I'll go back first." After Liang Jing finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye, ready to hurry back to discuss this matter with the team that started the business together.

When he returned, he immediately consulted with the five core members of the studio.

Team members don't think the same way, though.

Some have confidence in "Spirited Away" and feel that they should wait for the release of the movie before refinancing.

That's when you can get a higher valuation.

Liang Whale still hopes to accept the investment of Ark Culture: "Fang Xing's attitude is very clear, after the release of "Spirited Away", he will not want our studio. ”

"If we don't want our studio, then we can find other investment companies, as long as our value is reflected, are we afraid that no company is willing to invest?" Feng Jianyu, as one of the members of the entrepreneurial team, hopes to get more.

"However, once Fang Xing doesn't invest in us, he won't cooperate with us anymore in future animation projects." Liang Whale still cares more about the animation work itself.

"Can we only cooperate with Fang Xing? Is he an emperor? We can't animate without him? Feng Jianyu was very resolute.

Another member of the entrepreneurial team proposed: "Don't argue, vote, there are six of us, Liang Whale counts two votes." The minority obeys the majority, and if you feel that you can't get along in the future, then after the financing, everyone will split the money and leave. It's good to gather and disperse. ”

Liang Whale thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, then vote on it." However, I still pay more attention to the animation work itself, and I like Fang Xing's attitude and understanding of animation. I like to be able to continue to work with him in the future, so I voted for Ark Culture and agreed to the Ark Culture's capital injection. ”

Of the six people, only two raised their hands, and the other four did not raise their hands.

Seeing this result, Liang Whale was a little confused, he didn't expect that the entrepreneurial team of six people would have four votes against it in the end.

"You ......" he didn't know what to say.

Feng Jianyu sighed: "Liang Whale, I know you like animation, and we like it too, but we also want to make money." The quality of "Spirited Away" will definitely be a big hit. After "Spirited Away" became popular, our studio became famous. At that time, some companies want to invest, and it is no problem to have a valuation of hundreds of millions. ”

Liang Whale was a little angry: "What does that mean now?" ”

"The four of us mean that the studio wants to raise money, and it is also after the release of "Spirited Away", if Fang Xing is still willing to inject capital at that time, we can continue to talk." Feng Jianyu expressed his attitude.

Liang Whale didn't expect this to be the result, and he was stunned for a long time.

The next day, I could only find Fang Xing to explain what the rest of the entrepreneurial team thought.

Fang Xing couldn't help but feel funny when he heard his story.

This studio is called Liang Whale Studio, but in the end he can't make a decision on his own.

In this way, he is really not suitable for managing a company, and is only suitable for concentrating on animation.

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Liang Jing hurriedly expressed his attitude: "I hope to continue to cooperate with Mr. Fang, but there are four people who disagree with the internal vote of our team, and I ...... I don't know what to do either. ”

Fang Xing was not angry about this, and said directly: "This is also easy to do." We're going to buy an animation company, you're in charge of the animation, and I'm going to send someone over to manage the company.

"It's still the same as before, the animation company that I acquired will leave you 80% of the shares. The portion you invest can be paid after the release of Spirited Away.

"Actually, you can see my attitude, the reason why I considered your studio in the first place was that I just wanted you.

"If the rest of your team doesn't want to, then let's open another company and take as many people as you can from the studio, leaving the rest to them."

Liang Whale's expression was a little surprised when he heard this.

By now, he finally understood what Fang Xing really wanted.

It's all about tailoring an animation company for him, so that he can really concentrate on animation, manage the company, and leave it to someone else.

That's what he really wants.

Liang Whale didn't need to discuss with others this time, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm willing." ”
