Chapter 158 I Want Them All, They Complement Each Other

Since Lin Xiumin's suggestion was accepted, the more than ten stores that Li Feng had selected were not suitable.

So he called Li Feng and explained the situation.

Li Feng asked: "Boss, do you need me to find a new store?"

Gao Yan thought for a while and said: "Well, go to the commercial plaza in the city to find a store that is more than 500 square meters."

"Okay, boss!"

Since we plan to open a branded milk tea shop, the two milk tea shops in Wanlong Plaza and Hengda Plaza are not suitable. After the large milk tea shop opens, these two shops will be sublet.

As for the one in the snack street of University Town, it can be kept.

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Gao Yan, who was reading a book, received a call from Li Chaonan.

Li Chaonan: "Xiao Gao, I have received a letter from the entertainment companies you asked me to help you find. There are three in total. I will send their information to your WeChat directly. Take a look first!"

Gao Yan: "Okay, thank you for your help, Brother Li. I will treat you to a meal in Shanghai later."

Li Chaonan: "Okay, it's settled!"

Less than a minute after the call ended, Li Chaonan sent Gao Yan a document.

After clicking it, Gao Yan looked at it carefully.

The three entertainment companies are Haitian Entertainment, Huanrui Century and Tianxing Entertainment.

Among them, Haitian Entertainment is relatively pure. It does not cultivate stars and focuses on filming movies and TV series.

This company was established in 2008. In more than seven years, it has filmed a total of 7 movies, an average of one per year, but it has filmed more TV series, more than 20.

The highest-grossing youth film among the seven movies earned 340 million box office, two of the other six made a small profit, and the other four lost money.

However, more than 20 TV series that were filmed were sold, 15 of which made money, and the rest lost money, but the losses were not high.

Looking at the titles of these movies and TV series, many Gao Yans have seen or heard of them.

Why did Haitian Entertainment want to sell the company?

The reason is very simple.

They joined hands with other companies this year and invested 330 million in a blockbuster, because Haitian Entertainment took the lead and invested 180 million.

The leading actor is a top-tier young actor.

Just when the movie was about to be screened in theaters, the top-tier young actor got into trouble and was arrested.

And the movie he starred in naturally could not be released again.

The first time he operated a big project, he encountered such a problem, which was a heavy blow to Haitian, so the boss of Haitian had the idea of ​​selling the company.

After all, the company's working capital was all on this movie, and it also had to face trouble from partners and sponsors, so it had no mind and time to do new projects.

Selling the company is the best choice.

Because Haitian Entertainment did not engage in celebrity economy and did not guarantee whether the behind-the-scenes team would stay, the offer was very low, only 15 million.

Even so, not many people were willing to take over, because Haitian had not yet resolved the issues of partners and sponsors.

The partners could argue, but the sponsors must return their sponsorship fees, because before the incident, the top streamer was very popular and attracted 20 million advertising sponsorship.

Even if the compensation was not much, 20 million had to be compensated, so the acquisition of Haitian Entertainment would cost at least 35 million.

Let's talk about Huanrui Century.

This company is much stronger than Haitian Entertainment. The company has its own celebrity artists, including 16 actors, 22 singers, and more than 30 trainees.

Their business is also quite wide, including movies, TV series, variety shows, and record releases.

The reason for selling the company is not that it can't continue to operate.

The boss of Huanrui Century is Chen Zhixing. He was 50 years old when he founded Huanle Century in 2000. Over the past ten years, Huanle Family has become bigger and bigger.

But half a year ago, Chen Zhixing had a stroke and was hospitalized, and could no longer host the work of Happy Century.

His successor, son Chen Shanhai, has his own company, which is larger than Happy Family, but has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. Moreover, he is not interested in entertainment companies at all and is unwilling to take over.

So he plans to sell Happy Century.

However, he wants cash, not replacement, so Happy Century has not been sold after half a year.

At the beginning, Chen Shanhai offered 660 million yuan. After half a year, it still has not been sold. He has reduced the price to 600 million yuan, but 600 million yuan in cash is not a small amount.

So, no one is willing to take over.

Let's talk about the last Tianxing Entertainment. This company is the largest of the three entertainment companies. This company not only has its own filming team, but also many celebrity artists.

In addition, they also have their own distribution channels and theaters.

Although they don't have many theaters, there are not many entertainment companies that have both distribution channels and theaters.

As for why the company is sold, there are two reasons.

First of all, Star Entertainment started out by cooperating with the Hong Kong industry. Ten years ago, the Hong Kong industry was particularly popular. Just find a Hong Kong director and a few Hong Kong stars to make a movie, and the audience will buy it.

But the audience's viewing ability will also improve. After losing the sense of freshness, the works of the Hong Kong industry are no longer popular, and mainland stars have also risen one after another.

Therefore, Star Entertainment was glorious 10 years ago, but it is no longer so after 10 years.

But 10 years later, the decision-makers of Star Entertainment repeatedly bet on the wrong horse. For example, last year, they released a new movie by a famous Hong Kong director with a guaranteed box office of 800 million.

As a result, the final box office of this movie was only 180 million, which directly caused Star Entertainment to lose a lot of money.

What does the so-called guaranteed release mean?

In simple terms, the distributor will give you a share in advance based on the 800 million box office. If the producer can get 40% of the share, the distributor will directly give the producer 320 million according to the 800 million guaranteed box office.

But the box office was only 180 million. Even if the distributor could get 50% of the share, it could only recover the cost of 90 million.

A direct loss of 230 million.

After this guaranteed release incident, Star Entertainment almost became a joke in the industry, and they were completely disappointed with the Hong Kong circle.

Later, they invested in several mainland movies one after another, but all of them lost money after the release of the movies they invested in.

The successive failures made the boss of Tianxing Entertainment very angry, and the senior executives who led these projects were also fired by him, and when these senior executives left, they also took away many of their subordinates.

Other companies also followed suit to poach people from Tianxing Entertainment.

Now, not only are there vacancies in middle and senior management, but also celebrity artists have jumped jobs one after another.

Disheartened, the boss of Tianxing Entertainment came up with the idea of ​​selling the company.

However, although Tianxing Entertainment has experienced a big fluctuation, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still theaters in hand, so the selling price is as high as 1.2 billion.

Several entertainment companies have the idea of ​​taking over, but the boss of Tianxing Entertainment is dissatisfied with these entertainment companies taking advantage of the situation and rejected all their acquisitions!

And Han Shangyu's Shangtian Entertainment is also planning to acquire Tianxing Entertainment.

However, because of Han Shangyu's taking advantage of the situation, the boss of Tianxing Entertainment also rejected him!

But the Han family has too many connections. If Gao Yan does not intervene, I believe that Tianxing Entertainment will eventually fall into Han Shangyu's hands.

After reading the information, Gao Yan sent a WeChat message to Li Chaonan: Brother Li, I have read all the information.

Li Chaonan: Which one do you like?

Gao Yan: Only children make choices, I want them all.

Haitian Entertainment does not manage stars, but has a strong behind-the-scenes team, and Happy Century has good actors and singers. As for Tianxing Entertainment, the management is vacant and the stars are almost all poached, but it has distribution channels and theaters.

If the three companies can be integrated into one, it will definitely complement each other.
