As a result, mkpictures, founded by Jiang Digui, the director who once directed espionage of life and death, and Shen Zaiming, the representative of myungfilm, the production company of JSA, has also deteriorated the business situation of production companies such as Jiangyuan radio station, and has also affected Orion, one of the major film companies.
When mentioning this secret story, Kevin Fuyuan did not show that he was a layman. Because he was not familiar with the Korean film industry, he would show a vague understanding.
On the contrary, it seemed that he had read a lot of materials in advance. Naturally, Li Xianzhe went on.
"When I analyzed the feasibility of acquiring megabox a long time ago, someone inside Warner analyzed the acquisition that year. They said that Orion's sale of megabox cinema was expected.
As the profitability of the Korean film industry decreased at that time, Orion, whose financial capacity was relatively weaker than CJ or Lotte, was determined to give up his career.
Here we have to quote some data.
In 206, megabox's performance worsened compared with 2005.
Although sales increased from 99.9 billion won to 109.1 billion won during that period, operating profit and net profit decreased from 14.1 billion won and 10.3 billion won to 14 billion won and 8.7 billion won respectively
At that time, a research committee member of mirae asset securities analyzed and said: "due to being squeezed out by CJ and Lotte, they failed to make aggressive investment, so they simply decided to sell.
Orion will use the funds obtained from the sale to invest in Chinese or American films and look for growth momentum. "
Li Xianzhe nodded, which was also the cause and effect of megabox's final acquisition by an Australian investment group. However, at that time, when megabox was acquired, some filmmakers with pessimism and idealism sang a bad song about it.
They believe that the acquisition of local cinemas by foreign companies directly ensures the increase in the number of Hollywood films introduced before the landing in South Korea, which is bound to make South Korean films suffer unimaginable blows.
In this regard, Li Xianzhe just smiled and said that this group of people's air defense Hollywood is the same as anti thieves.
Vigilance and unity are really first-class, but he feels that if these senior filmmakers can't make good works.
First of all, local audiences have lost confidence in Korean films. Even if Hollywood films are completely eliminated from entering Korea, it is futile.
In recent years, the development of Korean films is still in the stage of water spray release every year. Many films make works frequently, but most of them are still sold at a loss.
Whenever he thought of this, Li Xianzhe would think that after the establishment of the film department of imperial entertainment, all the people in the Department were turning around the scripts they took out.
He is not sure how far the company's film department will go in the future, but at least the films produced by imperial entertainment will become "unique" in the eyes of Koreans.
So long as he sees the words "produced by Empire entertainment", he will certainly pay for it in the cinema, which is his ultimate goal.
Now, Kevin Fuyuan has proposed to let him buy cinemas, which undoubtedly indicates that his film career should develop in a good direction.
Finally, the two finalized a detailed plan, which was assisted by Warner Brothers to snipe the Korean integrated investment company behind megabox.
But in fact, in this acquisition plan, Warner only uses Kevin Fuyuan's personal network resources.
Li Xianzhe is responsible for taking over all affairs and part of the capital investment after the acquisition.
It's more a game played by Kevin Fuyuan and Li Xianzhe than two big companies.
Li Xianzhe himself will own one-third of megabox's cinemas in South Korea and the global market, and the remaining two-thirds will be owned by Kevin Fuyuan and Warner behind it.
Even so, more than 30 cinema lines in South Korea will be under the doors of Li Xianzhe and imperial entertainment.
And because of this cooperation, Kevin Fuyuan proposed to add another one.
Afterwards, Empire entertainment will become the spokesman of Warner Bros. in South Korea and ensure the release quota of Warner Bros. and Hollywood films in South Korea.
Similarly, imperial entertainment, as a spokesman, has a high degree of "autonomy".
You can give priority to putting your own films on the acquired megabox cinema.
At the same time, the film can also be released in Hollywood and Warner controlled cinemas.
"I wish us success and happy cooperation."
When he agreed to take the ride, Kevin Fuyuan raised his glass and smiled at Li Xianzhe.
"Happy cooperation!"
Ding ~ ~ two glasses filled with beer are gently together. This dialogue has also become a watershed in Li Xianzhe's personal career.
"DC movie universe, please do it. This time, although rest assured, Warner has made up its mind to give full support and promised to give maximum concessions."
After talking about a cooperation, Kevin Fuyuan casually mentioned Li Xianzhe's scripts.
"Even Jeff Jones praised your script level and planning, and the senior executives in Warner finally saw it."
"It's not easy to see you work together to make a decision on one thing.
If at this point, DC might rise before marvel. "
Kevin Fuyuan blinked. Whether Li Xianzhe was mocking them for delaying a lot of good opportunities, or suddenly sighing, in short, this is an established fact that can not be refuted.
But now, the opportunity is really in Warner's hands.
And there are people who can be truly trusted to appear and coordinate the overall situation. In addition to decentralization and funding, they can sit down in Diaoyutai and concentrate on other things.
It's impossible to put all your possessions on Li Xianzhe and DC, just like Disney.
Although they bought marvel, they still make cartoons and Disney live action movies.
However, in the final analysis, Kevin Chu thought that he and Li Xianzhe had been a complete alliance, and the community of interests prospered and lost year after year.
Even they don't bother to sort out the connections and disputes, and they can't tell the outside people.
In fact, the acquisition of megabox from Australia's Macquarie Group seems very rebellious.
But in fact, megabox's cinemas are so few that many giants can't see them.
Its only significance is that once the future of megabox changes, it will directly affect the local film industry and pattern of South Korea, which is so simple.
Whether megabox is currently in Seoul, there is only one cinema or ten in South Korea, as long as it is not acquired by local companies, the impact on South Korean films is difficult to predict.
Just at this time, Li Xianzhe's mobile phone under the towel on the edge of the pool rang. When he saw the call prompt, it was Kevin Fitch.
"Kevin, are you back from headquarters again?"
