Chapter 318 Animation Company Plan(1/2)
"Boss, many partners have come to ask what our company's next project plans are. Including several TV stations, Penguin Video, Pea Video, etc..."
During the Olympics, Fang Xing basically rested at home, and the release of the album has been finalized.
Of course, every Monday, Fang Xing still goes to the company to attend the weekly work meeting.
Qiao Yinghong first summarized the work of the past week.
The sales of the album have entered a stable period, and the long-term effect is very good.
This album generates at least 10 million in 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 free.
According to Fang Xing's habit, if he rests for a while, he will have a new work plan.
If it's music work, Fang Xing is a shareholder of Songshi Records and will basically not cooperate with other record companies.
If it is a film and television project, there will be more opportunities for cooperation.
so far.
The two TV series produced by Ark Culture, "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning", are both hits, and both are B-level hits.
This kind of project with small investment and high yield is a hen that can lay golden eggs. It is the favorite investment type of film and television companies.
Because the investment is small, even if you lose money, you won’t lose much.
Once it becomes a hit drama, not only will the investment income be huge, but the company's artists can also be inserted into the TV series, making the TV series popular among the company's artists.
Therefore, as soon as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games ended, many partners came to inquire for information.
Qiao Yinghong's response was basically that there are no project plans for the time being.
"Boss, what projects are you preparing for next?" Qiao Yinghong asked this most concerning question after finishing her work report.
"Not yet, let's do the work at hand first." Fang Xing indeed has no new work plan yet.
"Currently, major TV stations and film and television companies want to ask us if we have any film and television plans. Does the boss have any ideas now? Or do we want to hold a concert? The boss's current music library is enough to hold a concert." Qiao Yinghong proposed.
Two suggestions.
Generally speaking, if a singer wants to hold a solo concert, the prerequisite is that the song can fill the entire concert.
Secondly, the tickets must be sold.
Now, Mailin Records is preparing a national tour for Tan Zhiguan, and tickets for the Donghai Station have gone on sale.
"We won't hold any concerts for the time being. Tickets are still too expensive for most people. We'll talk about it later when we need it." Fang Xing didn't consider the concert for the time being.
Qiao Yinghong nodded and continued: "Also, the radio and television regulatory authorities have issued documents and need to send people to a meeting."
"You can arrange this matter. We will strictly comply with the requirements of the national regulatory authorities." Fang Xing expressed his attitude.
"Okay." Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed, writing it down in her notebook with a pen.
At 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 financial director and replied: "We have no investment projects in the near future. We have abundant funds. We have 100 million in funds that can be directly used. If the demand is greater, we can raise another 100 million within three months."
"That's enough. If you have time, talk to Liang Jing. If he is willing, 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 Jing Studio has reached an advanced stage.
Ark Culture is the main investor in this animated film, accounting for 50%.
In addition, Fang Xing, as the director, screenwriter and producer, also gets another 10% dividends, and the remaining 40% belongs to investors such as Liangjing Studio and Jade Bird Film and Television.
Regarding the acquisition of Liang Jing Studio, Fang Xing has not talked with him yet and is not sure whether he is willing to do so.
If he is willing, Fang Xing is prepared to use his studio as a basis to develop into a film and television animation company.
If he doesn't want to, then buy another animation company.
The animation industry is not doing well right now. Big companies are doing fine, but many small companies are facing bankruptcy. It is not difficult to acquire a small animation company.
Of course, Fang Xing's first choice is to cooperate with Liang Jing.
After all, I have worked together before and I know Liang Jing’s character and conduct quite well.
Fang Xing likes people like Liang Jing who focus on doing things rather than making money.
…
After the regular work meeting, Qiao Yinghong personally talked to Liang Jing.
This matter was very important, and Liang Jing couldn't make up his mind for a while.
That night, he called Fang Xing, hoping to meet.
Fang Xing asked him to come to Ark Culture the next day.
At ten o'clock in the morning, when Fang Xing arrived at the company, Liang Jing was already waiting in the office.
"Have you had breakfast?" Fang Xing asked casually after sitting down.
"Eat, eat." Liang Jing held the briefcase in his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers.
"I asked you to come here today, and you should know the matter. I am considering acquiring an animation company, or injecting capital. Because we have cooperated before, we are quite harmonious, so if you are willing, we can work together in the future. If you think you can do it alone
Better, then I'll let people talk to other animation companies." Fang Xing made his attitude clear as soon as he came up.
Although the cooperation between the two parties on "Spirited Away" was a very pleasant process, after all, this time they wanted to acquire his studio, so it would be better to make the matter clear.
In business negotiations, all terms should be laid out clearly to avoid conflicts in the future.
Liang Jing was actually very hesitant. He pushed up his glasses again and asked, "I heard from Mr. Qiao that you want to develop a film and television animation company?"
"We do have this plan. Acquiring an animation company is the first step." Fang Xing nodded and replied.
"But my studio is actually very small." Liang Jing was a little worried.
"It's enough to complete an animated film. From now on, the company can develop slowly, it all depends on your own ideas." Fang Xing did not rush him.
"How much capital does Mr. Fang want to inject?" Liang Jing did not use the word "acquisition" because he developed this studio by himself and he still hoped to retain some shares.
"I asked an investment company to estimate that your Liang Jing Studio, based on the current valuation, is 30 million. Most of the value comes from the unfinished "Spirited Away"." Fang Xing said calmly,
Didn't mean to belittle him.
Liang Jing is very clear about the valuation of the studio.
His studio, before cooperating with Fang Xing, was actually a grassroots team, looking for people to invest everywhere, and it was on the verge of dissolution several times.
It wasn't until Fang Xing received investment to start producing "Spirited Away" that he began to recruit people, expand the studio's scale, and produce this animated film.
So far, Liang Jing Studio's only project is "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.
After all, once an animated movie is produced, it is still unknown whether it will be released.
It is also unknown whether the cost can be recovered after it is released.
Liang Jing has only one goal for this animated film, which is to recover the cost.
As long as the cost is recovered, he will have the next project.
If you can't even recover the cost, then you don't know when the next project will have to wait.
Therefore, the value of his studio depends entirely on the project "Spirited Away".
If this project fails, the value of his studio will fall to the bottom. If this project makes money, the value of his work will also increase accordingly.
Liang Jing is a person who wants to concentrate on animation. He really doesn't like and is not good at doing business.
However, he is not stupid.
He knows very well that if his "Spirited Away" can make money, the valuation of his studio will increase.
If "Spirited Away" flops, 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. The timing was very delicate.
Liang Jing 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 directing work. Of course I have confidence in it.
"I also understand what you are thinking, you think this is a big gamble.
"If Spirited Away becomes a hit, your studio valuation will skyrocket.
“In other words, by that time, you can get more money by selling your studio.
“If Spirited Away loses money, the value of your studio will also plummet.
"In short, it depends on whether you want to accept the investment before "Spirited Away" is released, or wait until after it is released."
Liang Jing quickly shook his head: "No, I just want to know Mr. Fang's purpose of acquiring the studio."
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said directly: "I'll tell you bluntly. I have confidence in "Spirited Away". After the movie is released, your studio's valuation should increase.
"You should be able to make a lot of money from the "Spirited Away" project.
