Chapter 401 East China Sea Cinema
"Cinema line?" Chen Yongjun repeated the question again.
"Yes, movie theaters!" Yang Ming nodded in agreement with Chen Yongjun's answer.
Chen Yongjun looked at Yang Ming with a look of confusion. He really couldn't figure out how the young man in front of him, who had made a career with his fantastic ideas, suddenly had the idea of investing in movie theaters without any technical knowledge.
, and the return on investment is not very high.
"Yang Ming, why did you think of investing in cinemas? You must know that the rate of return in this industry is not high." Chen Yongjun said his kind reminder.
"Haha." Yang Ming smiled slightly. He knew what Chen Yongjun said.
The film industry structure in contemporary China has not thrived because of the country's strength and has become an industry with important influence in the world.
It seems that there is always something invisible and intangible that is hindering the development of the film industry. The current situation of the Chinese film industry has also troubled many celebrities in the film industry.
When it comes to the artistry of films produced in China, it goes without saying that the Golden Dragon Awards is still one of the three major film festivals in the world. You know that Chinese films are not lacking in thought and soul!
However, if the awards received by Chinese films every year are still the same as in previous years, the box office generated by Chinese films as a proportion of the total global box office is declining year by year.
Last year, the total box office of Chinese movies totaled 3 billion, accounting for less than 10% of the world's total box office. However, the total box office of American movies was 15 billion, which was five times the total box office of Chinese movies. This gap makes many Chinese filmmakers feel sad.
How embarrassing.
What's more important is that this gap continues to widen.
Faced with the current situation of Chinese films, many experts and celebrities have also taken stock of the Chinese film industry and made prescriptions. The biggest problem diagnosed is that films only focus on artistry and lack commerciality.
However, what is embarrassing for many experts and film professionals is that last year, many film companies invested in shooting some so-called commercial films. However, except for a few films that were able to recover their costs, all other commercial films lost their money, leaving those who prescribe
The famous people are hiding their faces in shame.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people in China, the film industry is not a good investment project, because the era of huge profits from movies has long passed.
Chen Yongjun naturally knows this. He even listened to others' deception last year and invested 2 to 3 million to make a commercial film, but lost a lot. With this lesson of blood and tears, how could he not worry about Yang Ming's investment in the film industry?
Woolen cloth.
Yang Ming heard Chen Yongjun's kind advice to him and knew that Chen Yongjun was doing it for his own good. He thought about it and said seriously to Chen Yongjun: "Brother Chen, don't forget that I am a director. As a director, the ultimate goal is always
It’s the big screen!”
"Moreover, I believe that the spring of the Chinese film industry will come soon!"
In fact, what Yang Ming did not say is that even if the Chinese film industry cannot make the domestic film market prosperous, Hollywood in the United States will come in and make the Chinese film industry prosperous.
And as a theater chain, no matter how you calculate it, it will not make a loss.
The most important thing is that Yang Ming never wants to hand over his life to others.
In his previous life, Yang Ming was a low-level person. His own wealth had never exceeded one million. He had a very serious mentality of being a low-income person. Moreover, he had seen too many shady stories in the entertainment industry, so he naturally did not feel comfortable handing over his life to others.
Among the giant Chinese film companies today, none of them holds shares in theater chains, or they have strong relationships with them.
Therefore, from the beginning, Yang Ming's plan was that if he wanted to enter the big screen, he must have a theater chain that he controlled.
According to his plan, he originally wanted to wait until Phoenix TV became regular and could provide its own blood, and then he would film a few classic TV series to lay a solid foundation for his entry into the big screen.
It happens that China will host the World Cup next year, and Yang Ming just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot a movie about football to ensure that his debut movie is foolproof.
However, now that the Zhang family and Zhonghuang Entertainment can be targeted, it completely disrupts Yang Ming's plan. Not only is Yang Ming's plan to make money by filming a TV series greatly affected, but he also has to worry about what happens if he enters the big screen.
It is a dirty trick to manipulate the theater chain, so it is very likely that the movie he made will be unable to be released.
Although this is not a 100% thing, you should not be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected, and according to Zhonghuang Entertainment's behavior, this possibility is very high.
That's why Yang Ming is now taking a ruthless loan to acquire a theater chain.
Chen Yongjun saw the calm and determined expression on Yang Ming's face. Although they had not known each other for a long time, he knew the temper and character of the young man in front of him very well. As long as this young man, who was much younger than him, made a decision in his heart,
There was absolutely no way anyone could make him change his mind.
"Okay!" Chen Yongjun shrugged helplessly, and then he continued: "Which theater chain are you planning to acquire? Is there anything you need my help with?"
Hearing Chen Yongjun's words, Yang Ming's heart moved. Zhonghuang Entertainment can be said to be deeply rooted in the film industry. It is estimated that if there is any trouble, they will definitely know it. If Chen Yongjun is asked to come forward to help negotiate the acquisition, it will definitely reduce a lot of resistance, and at the same time, it will also
It will make Zhonghuang Entertainment see him or Oriental DreamWorks acquire theater chains, and bad things will happen.
"Brother Chen, you have decided to help me with this!" Yang Ming said politely. As for the acquisition target, he had already decided in his mind, so he told Chen Yongjun the name.
Donghai Cinema Line!
At present, there are many theater chains in China, but there are 10 relatively large ones. Donghai Cinema Line ranks ninth among the top ten theater chains. Its market value is not high, only more than 2 billion. Yang Ming has 1 billion in hand.
, if the operation is good, it will not be a big problem to control the controlling stake!
According to the data, Donghai Cinema Line has a total of 71 theaters, 439 screens, and 57,376 seats. This theater chain is not as good as the top large theater chains in terms of number of theaters and screens. However, among the top ten theaters in China, among the box office rankings,
However, three cinemas belong to the Donghai Cinema Chain.
After all, Donghai Cinema Chain is also one of the senior cinema chains in China. Due to financial problems in recent years, it has been unable to develop rapidly.
Of course, if Donghai Cinema Chain becomes a large-scale cinema chain in China, it won't be Yang Ming's turn to acquire this cinema chain.
After Yang Ming and Chen Yongjun discussed the acquisition of the theater chain for a while, they left separately. The acquisition will not be implemented until Manager Cao gets the company's loan application tomorrow.
After leaving the coffee shop, Yang Ming checked the time. Instead of going back to the college, he drove back to the rented yard. Tomorrow was the day when the master and his two senior brothers came back. He had to clean up and then pick them up tomorrow morning.
When Yang Ming arrived at the yard and was about to start cleaning up, he suddenly received a call from Wu Yuanzhi.
"What? Let me make a cartoon?"
