With China's entry into the WTO, China's cinema chains have finally opened up. Cinema chains that used to be only owned by state-owned enterprises have finally begun to open to the general public. However, of course, they cannot really open to the general public. Even if your cinema is completed, it will not open to the general public.
It's the same thing, this is not an exaggeration, it's true.
Basically, both private enterprises and foreign capital can enter. This is true in theory. However, the liberalization of the foreign investment access policy is not as smooth as people imagined. According to regulations, foreign capital cannot exceed 49% of the shares; Sino-foreign cooperation
In movie theaters, the Chinese side of the joint venture should have the dominant right to operate, and it is basically impossible for foreign investors to be too arrogant.
Compared with foreign investment, the theater chain industry has completely liberalized private capital, but financial barriers have limited the number of players who are truly qualified to participate. The investment in a multiplex theater is often more than 10 million yuan.
If you want to form a theater chain, it will naturally require dozens or more. The investment will be hundreds of millions or even billions. For the current Star Entertainment, it is a very large investment. Now Star Entertainment adds up all of them.
You can't come up with this money, right? Even if Xingchen Entertainment sells it now, it only has more than 100 million or 200 million, and even if Wang Zhengfei is included, it only has more than 400 million!
When the money comes to use, you will hate having less money!
"Good idea, there is no problem with the admission qualifications!" Gao Yan said. Wang Zhengfei still can't figure out the background of Gao Yan's family, but he also knows that they are not an ordinary family. It's nothing to get the admission qualifications.
problematic.
"I decided to allocate 100 million from all the company's funds to build ten theaters in major first-tier cities in the early stage!" Gao Yan said proudly.
"In that case, does the company still have any working capital?" Wang Zhengfei secretly sighed. Gao Yan is really bold. Now the total assets of Xingchen Entertainment are only over 200 million, and the working capital is only over 100 million. Gao Yan is very straightforward.
It's really bold to spend 100 million to build cinemas.
"What will happen to the next "Snow Leopard" and "Palace" when the time comes? Do you have enough money?" Wang Zhengfei asked rhetorically.
"Aren't there still dividends from "Qin Shi Mingyue"? As long as the dividends from "Qin Shi Mingyue" are received, everything will be no problem!" Gao Yan said confidently, "Qin Shi Mingyue" has achieved good results so far.
, which greatly stimulated Gao Yan's self-confidence and made him extremely confident. Up to now, "Qin Shi Mingyue" has recovered its cost. According to the dividend, Xingchen Entertainment has been able to get about half of it, 50 million.
"But the results of "Qin Shi Mingyue" are too unstable. It would not be good if we pin our hopes on this!" Wang Zhengfei frowned and said, if for this reason the following "Snow Leopard" and "Palace" will not be successful
If there is a problem with the shooting, it will definitely be worth the loss.
"Isn't there still you?" Gao Yan said with a smile. Although he does not accept the company being controlled by others, and the film does not accept outside investment, Wang Zhengfei is different. Wang Zhengfei is not an outsider. Wang Zhengfei has cooperated with him so many times.
, the two sides have long been indifferent to each other.
In fact, what often happens is that the projects that Star Entertainment wants to invest in are often higher than their actual capabilities. At this time, external funds are needed to enter, and Wang Zhengfei is one of his own and rich, so it naturally becomes
The first choice.
With Wang Zhengfei here, it is equivalent to having more than double the capital, and using the power of two Xingchen Entertainment's capital to do a Xingchen Entertainment thing.
Seeing that Gao Yan trusted him so much, Wang Zhengfei was slightly moved and said: "Okay, count me in, I will also invest 100 million to build ten cinemas!"
Unlike Gao Yan, more than half of Xingchen Entertainment's 200 million capital is fixed assets, while Wang Zhengfei's 230 million capital in the entertainment industry is completely liquid and can be transferred out at any time.
, Wang Zhengfei has an advantage in this regard.
"Okay!" With Wang Zhengfei's support, Gao Yan's mentality became more stable. From two years ago, Xingchen Entertainment was only able to invest in a super low-budget movie that cost less than 500,000 yuan, and half a year ago it was completed.
The shooting of a movie with a large investment of over 100 million yuan has such a large span. It is easy to say that it is a leapfrog development. It can basically be said to be a volcanic eruption-style development.
To be able to achieve such a miraculous development, one of the most important factors is the cooperation between the two people, regardless of each other.
And unlike partners in other companies, although Wang Zhengfei holds 20% of the company's shares, he actually does not do anything and will not affect Gao Yan's status in the company.
Wang Zhengfei, who keeps raising money for cooperation, is actually a bank, providing loans, but the bank only needs to participate in dividends.
However, even with Wang Zhengfei joining, the financial resources of the two are still too weak. With only 20 cinemas, it is basically the size of a small cinema chain. It cannot yet form a large scale. It is still difficult to achieve large-scale profits.
.
One year after the completion of a general cinema, one seat can generate 15,000 yuan in revenue per year. A total of 500 seats in the cinema is 7.5 million yuan. Adding some income of 7,788 or 88, the income can be over 10 million yuan a year.
That is to say, if everything goes well, the cost will be recovered in about a year, and it will not exceed two years at most. In this case, in another year, the size of the theater can be doubled.
But that also takes time. Let’s not talk about newly built cinemas. It will not be put into use for more than a year. Just say that if you acquire some small cinemas that are not well managed, it will also take time to renovate and reopen them. In short, you must still make a profit.
It's early, but Star Entertainment is not only developing in the past few years, their goal is to put it into the next ten years, or even twenty years or more.
"Well, let's ask people from the company to prepare an evaluation report and discuss this issue in detail when the time comes!" Wang Zhengfei said, "Let's talk about the insider inside our company!"
In addition to upstream and downstream groups, insiders within the company are also an important outlet for copy leaks.
Hearing this, Gao Yan's face flashed with evil spirits, and he said: "Humph, what can you say about someone who is trying to get in and out? Our company's treatment is also famous in the industry, right?"
Since Xingchen Entertainment has only been established for two years, it does not have many employees, but its profits are among the best in the industry. After making money, Gao Yan is not a stingy person, so he naturally offers industry-wide benefits to the company's employees.
The treatment is top-notch, and I don’t know how many people in other companies are envious of it.
"Even so, they are still cheating. They have to scare some people so hard that they won't be more cruel. I have thought about it, just break my legs, kick them out, and notify the entire industry that they will not be hired!" Gao Yan said
Wang Zhengfei was startled, and then he realized that Gao Yan was actually much more ruthless than he thought. But if he didn't act ruthlessly, it would be difficult to stop this trend. If they were fired, they would have to sell out the company.
I can live happily with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I don’t know how many people will follow my example.
"Since they like money so much, let them spend their whole lives thinking about whether it is worth exchanging hundreds of thousands for a pair of legs!" Gao Yan said with a sneer. He hated these traitors very much. He believed that his opponents were not weak, but
He was still betrayed, can he not be angry? He was born in a big family since he was a child, and he has seen far more dark sides than most people imagine.
Wang Zhengfei did not refute. Gao Yan had already made up his mind at this time, and there was no need to talk to him about a few traitors.
The following is about websites. When faced with those infringing websites, whether to sue or not to sue, or what to do!
As far as Wang Zhengfei knows, since 2004, "Big Shot" has been infringed and disseminated by a video website in Yanjing, and Huayi Brothers took the infringing website to court. In 2005, the Haidian Court ruled that the infringing website should compensate Huayi Brothers for economic losses of 340,000 yuan.
.This set a record for the amount of compensation at the time. This record has not been surpassed until the end of 2009 in the "Assembly Number" online infringement case. Huayi Brothers received an infringement compensation of 350,000 yuan, setting a new record again.
In fact, the increase of 10,000 yuan from 340,000 yuan to 350,000 yuan actually took a lot of effort. In most of the online piracy and infringement cases, the amount of compensation did not exceed 100,000 yuan, usually only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan or more.
The compensation of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is less than a fraction of the loss caused by piracy to a film.
China has a copyright law, but the enforcement and punishment and sentencing are not enough. Generally, law enforcement involves raiding vendors to trace the source, but raids on piracy syndicates are relatively rare.
The biggest problem is that the amount of compensation is so low and there are so many steps to investigate and prove. From a legal perspective, first of all, the copyright holder can ask the network service provider to delete the infringing works, but this procedure often takes 2 to 3 working days.
According to the current spread speed of Internet communication, the harm caused by three days of communication is already very great; secondly, if the infringing works cannot be deleted in time and the copyright owner pursues the liability of the infringer through litigation, the litigation procedures will be complicated and lengthy, and currently
In judicial practice, the amount of compensation awarded is generally relatively low. This may have the following consequences: existing infringements may not be stopped in time, and the damage caused cannot be fully compensated.
If he expected to get enough compensation from websites like Tudou.com, then Wang Zhengfei would vomit blood. Wang Zhengfei felt that the most important thing is to show his attitude and the attitude of Xingchen Entertainment, which is to never tolerate it, no matter who it is.
Okay, nothing can be violated.
It’s more of a warning to the monkeys than a real hope of receiving compensation!
