Chapter 251: Manager Sun's Military Order
What Ning Hao didn't say was that he was just making additional investment, and he also agreed with Peng Hui to get together someday.
Ning Hao originally wanted to invest, but the difference was that he invested more and less.
But it’s different here with Ali!
You must know that Alibaba has already invested 100 million, and if it invests another 40 million here, even Alibaba with a big business will definitely encounter a lot of criticism.
After all, any business investment needs to be approved by the board of directors.
It is really not easy for Manager Sun to invest under pressure!
How else could it be said that Peng Hui was very moved?
For this reason, we even specially invited Manager Sun to dinner.
By the way, let me mention something here.
Manager Sun’s name is Sun Hao.
Previously, because they had not had much contact with each other, although the other party had been involved in his investment, the two had not had many interactions in the past, so Peng Hui had always been very polite.
Now, the name has been changed.
Even though this is just a change of title, there is a lot of knowledge involved.
Sun Hao smiled and said, "Don't thank me. Actually, I want to thank you, brother."
"Oh?" Peng Hui was a little surprised.
Perhaps because he drank too much, Sun Hao smiled bitterly and explained Ali's predicament in the past two years.
Although Alibaba belongs to Papa Ma, in fact, just like the difference between Wanda Entertainment and Wanda Company, Alibaba Film and Television and Alibaba are also affiliated.
This was originally nothing.
But in recent years, although there have been one or two small hit movies occasionally, Alibaba Pictures' annual losses are worse than those of Wanda Entertainment!
The total amount of money lost every year is more than 300 million!
No matter how rich Ma Yun's father is, he still has liver pain if he does this every year.
But this is not because Alibaba does not have funds, but because Alibaba does not have its own directors!
This is no joke.
Nowadays, when quality is gradually becoming the new standard in the industry, so-called traffic movies have gradually suffered backlash.
It hurts.
Last year's Alibaba financial report showed a direct loss of 400 million!
It can really be described as losing money!
At this time, changes naturally need to be made.
The best thing is to find one or several directors to follow the project.
The initial candidates were naturally Shan Zheng and Ning Hao’s group.
But the problem is...
This group of people is the most popular group of directors nowadays. As soon as their works are announced, people will send money in large amounts.
Even if Alibaba can enter the game, it can only invest a small amount.
Then it becomes inevitable to find and train new directors.
Then Wu Jing came out.
Directly ranked first in the domestic box office.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between Ali and Wu Jing is somewhat similar to Wanda and Peng Hui at this time.
All of them were suddenly withdrawn during the filming process.
So Wu Jing’s line was also broken.
Just when Ali was confused, an unexpected candidate was proposed by Manager Sun.
That is Peng Hui.
Yes, Peng Hui's current highest-grossing film is only 200 million.
As a director, he is not very qualified.
but……
Everything must be looked at from both sides.
From these two works of his, his potential has been fully seen.
Thirdly, Peng Hui's new movie is a hard-core science fiction, which will inevitably require a lot of investment.
Under such circumstances, Ali's entry into the game will not only alleviate the film's reputation collapse in the past two years, or the film's box office failure to meet expectations, but also establish a good relationship with Peng Hui.
"Brother Sun." Peng Hui was a little surprised: "Aren't you Ali worried that I will lose money on this movie?"
Although Peng Hui himself is absolutely confident in his movie.
Even if you can't make money, you can't lose money either.
But why does Ali think that he will definitely make money?
You must know that this is the least optimistic project in the industry, and it is also the least optimistic subject in the industry.
Under such circumstances, why did Ali finally agree to invest in him?
"No...it's nothing..." Manager Sun shook his dizzy head and said nonchalantly: "Brother, I just took a gamble." After saying that, he fell asleep on the table.
Peng Hui was stunned and then sent a text message to Li Shanshan.
After a while, Li Shanshan replied.
After reading it, Peng Hui looked at Sun Hao with a complicated expression, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Why did Alibaba agree to invest in Peng Hui?
Because Sun Hao issued a military order.
If "The Wandering Earth" loses money this time, then he will announce his resignation from Alibaba's marketing department!
How much power does the manager of a company's marketing department have?
It can be said that he almost controls the life and death of all investments under a certain share!
Although it is impossible for Ma’s father to be as shrewd as he is without constraints, this position also makes many people jealous!
Now Sun Hao has placed all his treasures on Peng Hui, which naturally arouses enthusiastic approval from some people.
Sun Hao is Ma’s father’s nephew.
Of course, not personally.
But he is also one of Ma’s most respected descendants.
But any company is full of factions.
There are conservative ones and naturally there are radical ones.
Sun Hao belongs to the latter.
His position naturally attracted the prying eyes of the other faction.
Nowadays, Alibaba Film and Television has suffered losses again and again, and the company is in urgent need of a project to turn losses into profits!
Sun Hao placed all the treasure of this project on Peng Hui.
The other side is pressed against "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
Sun Hao sneered at the other side's approach.
What era is this in? Are you still making fan movies?
Are you so easy to fool the audience?
Nowadays, content is king!
A group of old men who only know how to be conservative and conservative. Liu Tianxian has many fans, and Yang Yang is also a popular star. Their works will definitely attract a lot of attention, and these are potential users...
Yes, it is true that the popularity of both of them is not weak, but the problem is...
Although Liu Tianxian has made a successful comeback in recent years with the "Four Famous Catchers" series, to be honest, there is still a question mark as to whether it is a panacea.
Yang Yang?
What good movies do you think can be made from a guy who has been frequently complained about because of his grease problem?
It’s 8102 years old!
It’s also sad to still hold on to the fan economy and not let go!
But there is also an interesting fact here.
After Sun Hao insisted on investing in "The Wandering Earth", he was summoned by Ma's father.
That’s what Dad Ma asked him at that time.
"Why do you have to support Peng Hui so much?"
Sun Hao's answer at the time was simple: "I see the shadow of my uncle in him!"
Dad Ma was a little surprised.
In fact, as the richest man in China who is now self-made, Dad Ma is extremely proud.
Of course, this kind of pride would not be revealed in the past.
But from Sun Hao's mouth, he actually heard that Peng Hui had his own shadow, which inevitably made Father Ma curious.
Then Sun Hao told Father Ma about Peng Hui's development journey.
Chapter completed!
