Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 798 Oriental Entertainment Press Conference!
After all, Dongfang Group is a listed company. Every time it holds a meeting, it must promise profit growth to shareholders, and it must announce its financial report every quarter. If the profit growth fails to meet the psychological expectations of shareholders, or even falls, it will directly affect the stock market. risk.

In the business world, there are two kinds of acquisitions: one is that I think you have done a good job, and I will swallow you.One is that you can't do it well, I think I can do it well, and I will swallow you up.

Timeline was fully acquired by Dongfang, which is the former.

But the shortcoming of Timeline is also obvious, that is, Li Zhifan cannot be without Li Zhifan, but if it becomes a subsidiary of Oriental Entertainment and connects with the entire Oriental Entertainment, then the future of Timeline will be a different situation.

Now, Timeline has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental Entertainment Group, and Li Zhifan has also joined Oriental Entertainment, which has caused the stock price of the entire Oriental Group to rise one after another, especially foreign investors, who are queuing up in the stock market with money.

It's a pity that Dongfang Entertainment Group has not been split and listed. If it is listed, the market value may reach an unprecedented height in the domestic entertainment industry.

10 month 5 day.

California, Los Angeles.

William Entertainment, a large multimedia exhibition hall.

Here is a global press conference hosted by Oriental Entertainment Group and undertaken by William Entertainment.

The press conference will announce several plans and goals that Oriental Entertainment will accomplish in the next five years. Among them, the most interesting one, apart from Li Zhifan's new movie, is the spin-off of Oriental Entertainment.

Of course, the most direct purpose of listing is financing, followed by some hidden factors such as goodwill and industry influence, and of course there are more hidden factors such as incentives for the management team.

In the future, Dongfang Group will start to evolve towards the direction of a group holding company + listed companies with multiple sub-businesses, which will make it easier to adjust the business modules of the group, instead of carrying all the burden on the head office, which is also the top ten in the world. The method that enterprises have basically adopted.

The holding company assumes more of an investment role, and it may be a long-term investment.

The following specific business subsidiaries are responsible for clear revenue growth.

What Dongfang Entertainment has to undertake is all the affairs and revenue growth of the entire Dongfang Group in the cultural and entertainment sector.

When a listed company splits up its subsidiaries, the cash flow business is often the first to be split. Innovation or projects that have not yet reached their peak and still have potential to be tapped are generally not the first choice for splitting.

The entertainment industry is not an innovative industry, but Oriental Entertainment has just been integrated, and it has not yet reached the peak it should be. Except for those businesses before the acquisition, new businesses have not yet begun to generate revenue, and their respective plans have just begun. There is still a long time to achieve cash flow.

Therefore, it is not very slow to use five years in exchange for listing, but it is already a fast pace.

Of course, after the reorganization and integration of subsidiaries of large groups, there are also subsidiaries that immediately prepare for splitting and listing, and go public within a year. Very good, dividends can be seen every year, and integration, splitting and listing are the general trend.

Dongfang Group did not have entertainment business before. It was not until the Internet boomed that it entered the entertainment industry through Internet+. But at the beginning, it could only do investment. If it wants to develop its own entertainment business, it can only rely on continuous acquisitions and introductions. talent.

Timeline and Li Zhifan are both important pawns in the introduction plan of Oriental Entertainment, and Li Zhifan has cleverly become a minority shareholder of Oriental Entertainment and holds important positions. When the day is listed in the future, he will become a billionaire, or even a billionaire. rich man.

Li Zhifan came to the press conference this time as the host.

First of all, in the Hollywood market, his influence is the highest in the entire Oriental Entertainment. Although he is only an entertainment star, Hollywood itself is an entertainment base. If you choose an engineer who works as a coder to climb up to the position of vice president, it is definitely not suitable. of.

Secondly, for Oriental Entertainment, Li Zhifan is the second in command of the North American branch, and the number one is only responsible for signing autographs, taking photos, and speaking a few words of encouragement on stage. The important part has to be done by Li Zhifan himself.

In the end, for the whole people, especially those future movie fans and future investor fathers, perhaps only Li Zhifan can be recognized by them.

There is no host at the venue, and the entire press conference is designed like a launch event for technology products.

In a large exhibition hall that seemed closed but was actually very empty, except for the big screen that was on and a few lights on the stage, the rest of the place was dark and nothing could be seen.

In the past, Li Zhifan didn't understand why the press conferences of technology products were presented in this way. Is it just for seriousness?But when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks, it is also very solemn and solemn, and the audience is also transparent.

It wasn't until he got in touch with several bigwigs in the technology circle that he realized that it was just because the technology company with the world's largest market value designed the press conference in this way, so they followed suit.

Backstage of the conference.

All the guests invited today have arrived.

These guests include directors who have joined Oriental Entertainment's "Hollywood Movie Project", as well as European and American artists, including singers and actors, who have signed brokerage contracts in mainland China to Oriental Entertainment.

In addition, there are high-level representatives of all its subsidiaries, such as Timeline, William, DreamWorks, and the executives of the original subsidiaries of Oriental Entertainment, such as Star Printing Films, Perfect Film, Oriental Pictures, Oriental Music, Eastern Entertainment, etc. star show etc.

There are also some companies that Oriental Entertainment has invested in but does not hold a controlling interest in, such as Disney Pictures.

In addition to these people, the rest of the guests present are major media from all over the world.

Li Zhifan was only a part of the entire press conference, and the person in charge of speaking was a director of the public relations department of Oriental Entertainment, named Chang Qing. His position in the company was to be in charge of news releases and crisis public relations handling.

After the official launch of the press conference.

Chang Qing came to the stage and made a grand opening speech in fluent English.

This is a press conference for the whole world, not just China and the United States, and not just Hollywood. His speech was also transmitted to various countries around the world in real time along with satellite signals, mainly the Internet, which is currently the mainstream of the world. Several major Internet companies in China have opened live channels for this press conference.

In China's live broadcasting platform, there is only one called Xiaoniao TV, which is a live broadcasting platform under Dongfang Group, but it does not belong to Dongfang Entertainment, but belongs to Dongfang's e-sports game business group.

"...Dongfang Entertainment has enough confidence and confidence to enter Hollywood. At the same time, we will also guarantee that we will fully abide by the rules and systems of Hollywood. As a guild, we will not only abide by it, but also actively participate in it. Actors speak out and contribute to better improve the Hollywood system..."

Chang Qing talked eloquently. He was just a salesman at first, and Dongfang Group was just a real estate company at that time. After step by step, he got a full scholarship from the company and the qualification to study abroad. After returning to China, he joined Dongfang Entertainment as a After passing the post of secretary-general of the preparatory committee, the company was formally established, and he got the current position.

If the working years are longer and the outstanding achievements are more, it should be no problem to enter the management team in the next one and win the position of deputy general manager.

"First of all, what we want to present to you is the big Hollywood movie plan formulated by Oriental Entertainment."

Chang Qing said, "We have a passion for culture and art, and the ability to develop film and television entertainment in depth. At the same time, we also have deep financial support. In this Hollywood film project, we have included ten outstanding filmmakers in total. I will complete the production of many excellent films with them in five years."

"First of all, we want to invite the famous Hollywood producer Maisken!!!"

Following Chang Qing's shouts and invitation gestures, a middle-aged Caucasian man walked onto the stage with a smile and waved his hands. Maisken wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were so small that he couldn't see clearly.

At this time, his resume also appeared on the big screen, and he has produced many excellent TV series and movies. These works have a good reputation all over the world and have a large audience of moviegoers.

After taking the stage, Misken greeted Changqing and the guests present, and the two started a question-and-answer speech strategy.

Since he was asked to come up, he must have come prepared. Maisken directly exposed a brand new TV series and a movie he will produce next on the spot.

Among them, although the TV series only has 12 episodes in the first season, in addition to the investment behind Dongfang Entertainment, it has also obtained the cooperation of the broadcasting platform, including the Internet.

The film is planned to start production next year, and the shooting time is uncertain, only the director and several leading actors have been exposed.

These are all signed contracts to confirm the joining. The male and female leading actors are all winners of actor and actress, and the director is also well-known in Hollywood. As for the screenwriter, it is Maisken himself. Has won awards, but the industry reputation is very high.

After that, there were professional directors, actors who wanted to transition to the field of directors or producers, and a few screenwriters who would not usually appear in front of the screen.

It was not until the end that Li Zhifan was invited to the stage.

And he is among these ten outstanding filmmakers.

"President Li! Welcome!"

Chang Qing applauded, and said, "Director Li came prepared this time, he brought us more than just one work, and friends who are familiar with Director Li know him, he produced a film last year. A feature-length animation titled "Coco" (Coco) has been widely acclaimed, I don't know which works will come out this time?"

"Correct!"

Li Zhifan said, "Since you mentioned "Coco", let me talk about the full-length animation first! Let's see the big screen!"

The moment the two turned around, two posters of animated feature-length works appeared on the big screen.

In the first poster, there is a cartoon image of a yellow square with the four characters of "SpongeBob SquarePants" written on it.

"The first thing to introduce is this "SpongeBob SquarePants"!"

Li Zhifan said, "It's not a movie, but an animation, which is completed by DreamWorks. It is estimated that 20 episodes will be produced. If the effect is good, we will continue to produce the next season."

In another world, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is one of the most popular animated series in the history of American TV programs.

Unlike other American animations, half of the people who contribute to the ratings of "SpongeBob SquarePants" are from adults.

Of course, this is also because these adult audiences were still a group of children when "SpongeBob SquarePants" first aired, but these audiences did not abandon SpongeBob SquarePants, Pai Daxing, Squidward, and Boss Krabs because of their growth. Love the underwater city of Bikini Bottom where they live more and more.

Compared with "Peppa Pig", the plot of "SpongeBob SquarePants" is fuller, including many elements such as adventure, friendship, and fun, all-encompassing.

Compared with the low-level play house plots of domestic cartoons and animated films, SpongeBob SquarePants is not simply "stupid", but has a sense of purity and simplicity.

The biggest advantage of making cartoons is that no matter how time goes by, you can make its sequels, and there will be no obstacles due to actors. As long as the copyright exists, you can continue to do it.

Even if the director and person in charge are changed, it can continue.

If the animation is done well, more and more professional talents will be attracted to contribute to this animation and increase the guarantee.

The people at the scene saw "SpongeBob SquarePants" for the first time, and they didn't have much reaction. This kind of cartoon, which has not seen the finished film and only has a poster, will not cause too much or too strong reaction at all.

However, there was still a lot of applause, because since Li Zhifan was the producer, he would definitely not be bad.

The second poster is also very simple and straightforward. It is a group of strange animals, lined up in a long line on the side of a street, and the words "Crazy Zootopia" are written underneath.

""Zootopia" is a movie. The same production team as "SpongeBob SquarePants" is still DreamWorks, and now DreamWorks has organized a team and started production. In addition, this animated film is also We will cooperate with Disney for in-depth development. In the near future, these animals in the movie will appear in Disneyland..."

"Zootopia" is also a classic in American animated films. The most famous character in it is the supporting role sloth. The lazy and slow action has attracted countless people, even many who have never watched "Crazy Animal City". Anyone who reads "City" knows the role of the sloth.

The movie itself is a very simple story. Children will laugh when they watch it, and adults will also laugh when they watch it, but after adults watch it, they will think about the connotation in the movie.

Utopia is inspirational, funny and warm, natural ecstasy, conspiracy reversal, using animals to map humans, involving racial discrimination and struggle, both in terms of production technology and social significance, it is a very good animated film.

At least in Li Zhifan's mind, the rating of this animation is far higher than that of "Coco".
