2823 [Jiahe New Art City]
Chen Wendong received a call from the teacher and learned that Xia Tian was visiting the company building in a private manner, so he immediately brought people over.
After seeing Xia Tian, he secretly looked at his face. Chen Wendong felt that Xia Tian's face was pretty good and he didn't mean to be too angry. He felt a little relaxed.
However, when he thought of a big man like Xia Tian, he always had no feelings of joy and anger, he immediately lost his mind and became anxious again.
Xia Tian then took Chen Wendong and others to the office on the 20th floor. Although this office is vacant all year round, no one wants to make any idea.
Because this is equivalent to the God-Master Card of Tianxia Entertainment. With this office here, it is equivalent to summer here too. The Yanjing branch of Tianxia Entertainment, relying on the blessing of summer, can enjoy a lot of preferential treatment in the plan, such as tax reductions and exemptions, such as sensitive subjects, etc.
This is just like some listed companies often invite well-known people to name honorary directors. They don’t expect him to do specific management business, but just hope to make money with his name.
For example, Yang Shoucheng's Emperor Group invited Australian Prime Minister Hawke, former US MP and chairman of the Asia-Pacific Group, Soraz, to serve as honorary directors, with an annual salary of 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, although the summer office has been vacant for so many years and seems to be a waste, its intangible value is actually huge.
What's more, Chen Wendong let Xia Tian's office be vacant and he didn't go up to the top floor to occupy it. In fact, he expressed his loyalty to Xia Tian in disguise, saying that he had no arrogance and no intention to usurp power.
...
"Well, it's pretty good, it's still so clean." After Xia Tian came to his office, he nodded with satisfaction when he saw everything was like when he came.
"Yes, boss, I ask someone to clean up every day." Chen Wendong immediately said with a smile when he heard this.
"Well, you're intent." Xia Tian nodded and said, "How are you doing, how are you lately?"
"Boss, our company's performance this year is very good. I'll report it to you now." Chen Wendong was shocked when he saw Xia Tian ask, and said quickly.
"Hey, there's no need, I'll just look back and read the report myself." Xia Tian waved his hand.
He knew that the Yanjing branch of Tianxia Entertainment has performed well in the past year. He has filmed twenty-one movies, thirty-two TV series, and jointly produced five variety shows. It can be said that the output is the first in the country, even surpassing the TV series production center under CCTV.
With these film and television dramas and variety shows, the Yanjing branch has made a large number of artists famous, and has also achieved revenue this year of 2.5 billion yuan and net profit of 650 million yuan, which can be said to be a very good result.
In comparison, Hong Kong's Tianxia Entertainment has a total revenue of only HK$850 million this year and a net profit of less than 300 million. It has begun to gradually decline.
The reason for this is mainly because of the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, the Hong Kong film market has gradually shrunk. Now, the traditional box office market of Hong Kong films in Taiwan, South China and South Korea has gradually been replaced by Hollywood blockbusters.
This has caused the box office of Hong Kong films to decline. A movie was sold in Hong Kong for 20 million, and a 50 million foreign land was considered a big sale. But now, it is already considered a good seller for 10 million in Hong Kong and 20 million in foreign land.
If Tianxia Entertainment hadn't had wide channels and could still sell movies to America, Africa, and Europe, it would have probably been no longer profitable. Jiahe, Xinyi City, Oriental Pictures, etc. have indeed declined in the past two years.
The reason why New Art City has risen is mainly because it imitates American blockbusters. Thinking about the masterpiece "Best Partner" series of that year, the famous American "007".
It introduced the blockbuster mode into Hong Kong, which made Hong Kong audiences who were tired of watching small productions suddenly lit up. They went to the theater to watch, and eventually achieved a super high box office of more than 20 million. More than half of the people in Hong Kong entered the theater, and almost no one can beat the number of movies.
But now that American blockbusters are really popular, the counterfeit blockbusters in New Art City are not enough to watch. American blockbusters have scenes, special effects, and stars, which are much better than the counterfeit blockbusters in New Art City. Therefore, under such competition, New Art City has been losing money for two consecutive years.
Mai Jia and Ishida are not people with strong career aspirations. Ishida had quit once before, and Mai Jia is now keen on stock trading. Both of them have made a lot of money and are interested in retirement.
In Jiahe, although there is also the international superstar Cheng Long, the others are holding the scene, but they can’t raise the tofu at all. Therefore, in the past two years, they have suffered a lot of losses. In addition, the Hong Kong government wants to take back the real estate development on the set of Fushan Road, and Jiahe is also facing the fate of homelessness.
Zou Wenhuai originally wanted to ask for a piece of land from the Mansion to rebuild a new cinema. However, this plan was eventually stranded. Because the cost of obtaining land to build a cinema was too high. Jiahe has not made good profits in recent years and there is not much money to use.
In addition, the bank is not optimistic about Jiahe's future and is very cautious about its loans. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai also wanted to withdraw due to multiple factors.
Among the three alliances, two film companies are unwilling to make trouble anymore, so there is only Tianxia Entertainment.
Although there are other film companies in Hong Kong, to be honest, only Tianxia Entertainment can swallow the two major companies of Jiahe and Xinyi City, and other companies are not strong enough.
After all, Jiahe and Xinyi City also have a group of artists, a film library, dozens of cinemas and other high-quality assets, which are basically impossible to get it without a billion Hong Kong dollars.
With 1 billion Hong Kong dollars and so much money, companies like Huang Baiming's Oriental Pictures cannot be obtained at all. Although he really wants to swallow Jiahe and Xinyi City to strengthen himself, he is still powerless.
In addition, in order to expand, Jiahe and Xinyi City borrowed money from Xiatian a lot, so they bet on him all the film library, cinema, etc. It means that the two companies are already Xiatian’s mouth food. Who would dare to seize food from the tiger’s mouth?!
Therefore, although it is often rumored that Jiahe and Xinyi City are going to sell, no one is willing to take over, mainly because no one dares to fight Xia Tian!
...
Regarding the decline of Jiahe and Xinyi City, summer actually feels like a failure to become a steel.
In order to avoid the decline of Hong Kong films, summer has been paving the way, such as forming three alliances to prevent the penetration of hot money in Taiwan; having good relations with the mainland so that Hong Kong films can be imported into the mainland; buying American film companies, increasing sales channels for Hong Kong films, etc.
