"Director Wu, our Happy Twist Troupe, the first concept of Chinese New Year stage plays, has now developed into a new type of drama troupe that continues to create high-quality original comedy content."

"And we have established an entertainment and culture company, and this year we plan to set up subsidiaries of Happy Twist in Pengcheng, Modu, Jincheng and other places to expand the scope of business."

"The comedy "The Earl of Oolong Mountain" starring Xiao Shen is on a national tour.

At present, the company has launched 12 original stage plays, which have triggered a viewing boom and become a cultural hotspot, creating a "phenomenal" cultural and entertainment consumption habit of drama viewing. ”

"It can be said that the development of our company is very good, the results are very gratifying, the company's accounts are clear, there is no negative equity, and the annual net profit is also very high."

As the co-founder and chairman of the company, as soon as Zhang Chen sat down, he began to blow his own company.

can't be regarded as blowing, in the field of mainland comedy dramas and stage dramas created by Happy Twist, Happy Twist has really done a good job.

Since its creation in 2003, Happy Twist has achieved a net profit of millions a year.

And that's not even counting the expenses of paying the actors and running the company.

If only gross profit is calculated, Happy Twist can create more than 20 million yuan of income a year, it can be said that it is a company with very good assets and revenue, if it is willing to open up financing, there is a lot of capital that is willing to invest money.

However, Wu Yuan interrupted Zhang Chen's self-praise with a smile.

"Since Happy Twist is running so well, it doesn't look like it's short of money, so why do you still need to introduce strategic investment?"

The reason given by Happy Twist for Nortel's teachers to help match them is that they want to introduce strategic investment in the era of light and shadow.

"This." Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said directly: "Director Wu, I won't tell you, our company's side, after discussion, has decided on the company's development plan for the next five to ten years. ”

"That is to explore the development model of cross-screen integration."

"I want to hear about it." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, rested his hands on his chin, and waited quietly for the following.

Since they all started up, Zhang Chen naturally didn't hide it, and explained seriously: "To put it simply, I actually want to go from offline theaters to online TV series and movie screens. ”

"After all, it is no longer the era of dramas, and no matter how well the drama is performed, the scope of communication and radiation is too small."

"A drama performance can only have two or three hundred audiences at most, and even if there are hundreds of performances a year, it can only be seen by more than ten or two hundred people."

"And through the communication channel of television, a comedy program, a movie, or a TV series can easily reach tens of millions of people."

"Compared with offline petty fights, it must be the online platform that is the real bright future."

The Happy Twist team itself was first formed by the cooperation of a director and a screenwriter.

They didn't want to do a drama at first, they wanted to make a TV series, but because they happened to hit the epidemic that year, the TV series shooting plan was shelved, so they turned to the drama stage.

It's just that I didn't expect that this drama is getting better and better, and in the past few years, it has toured all over the country, and it has been performed hundreds of times a year.

But Yu Kai and Zhang Chen, who are the founders, have not forgotten their original intention, that is, to engage in works that can be on the big and small screens.

This year, they are working the Spring Festival Gala programs of various David TVs, hoping that the comedy of Happy Twist can be served on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and be seen by more people who don't know them.

However, from the offline drama stage to the TV station, the Happy Twist team has no connections and resources to rely on.

It's very difficult just to go to the Spring Festival Gala of local satellite TV, and in 2011, I worked hard for a whole year, but in the end no cooperation was reached.

This year, after the CCTV Spring Festival Gala changed its director, I have an understanding of the Happy Twist team that has become famous in Beijing, and it seems that there is a possibility of going to the Spring Festival Gala.

However, after such a encounter, Zhang Chen also understood that it was not easy to break the barriers of the industry.

No matter how well a drama company is, it is extremely difficult to enter the field of TV dramas and films.

If you can cooperate with a company that has a deep foundation in the field of TV dramas and movies and has sufficient network resources, it is the most suitable way for Happy Twist to transform into the big screen.

That's why we have today's meeting.

Compared with mainland film and television production companies such as Guangguang, Bona, and Huayi, the Light and Shadow Era is the most suitable for cooperating with Happy Twist.

Because the boss of the age of light and shadow is also a creator.

Zhang Chen believes that it is very difficult to rely on their achievements in drama to convince the group of capitalists who engage in movies and TV series.

But convincing Wu Yuan is very possible.

Because Wu Yuan himself is a very good screenwriter, he knows very well how good a team Happy Twist is who can make a name for himself in the field of drama.

Only by cooperating with the era of light and shadow can Happy Twist not be secretly invested.

In fact, Zhang Chen's choice was very correct.

After listening to his explanation, Wu Yuan nodded very agreeably: "The future does belong to the film and television industry, although drama will still exist, it is undoubtedly a sunset industry." ”

"How many viewers are watching TV dramas and movies in the country?"

"How many of them have the habit of watching dramas?"

"To be honest, I personally like drama very much, and I understand how difficult it is to make a good drama, and I also respect and admire the individuals and teams who can still calm down and do drama now."

"But the business environment is indeed abandoning drama."

"Zhang Dong can have this vision, and it is indeed a correct choice to want to layout and transform into film and television as early as possible."

"With a visionary founder like you to lead Happy Twist, I believe Happy Twist will be more successful in the future."

"Of course, the age of light and shadow is willing to cooperate with such an excellent drama team."

"Since I asked you out today, I just want to talk about this cooperation."

"I don't know how many shares Dong Zhang is willing to sell, and what does the era of light and shadow need to pay?"

Finally talking about the most important topic, Zhang Chen's spirit was shocked, and he stopped going around in circles with Wu Yuan, stretched out three fingers and said, "30%!" ”

"Our founding team is willing to sell 30% of the shares, and can sign a contract to give Light and Shadow Times the terms of equal proportion of the company's financing."

"As long as the age of light and shadow is willing, it can never dilute the shares."

"As for our requirements, we naturally hope that the light and shadow era can open up the resources for producing movies and TV series to us, and help us open up the upper and lower channels."

"Actually, we have already made a film script, but we lack the experience of making a film, and we have no foundation in publicity."

"Oh?" Wu Yuan is interested, could it be that the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" was born so early?

"What kind of movie, is it convenient to talk about?" He asked with interest.
