Chapter 368 A Cheap Deal of [-] Million
"Five billion?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, this number was far smaller than what he had expected before.

You must know that the forty movie theaters acquired by Shengtang before were still in third- and fourth-tier cities, and it cost [-] million yuan.

For movie theaters in first-tier cities, the cost of acquiring one is almost 4000 million or more.

If Times Cinemas only has 3000 movie theaters in the first-tier cities, it would cost [-] million if calculated as [-] million cinemas.

Guo Liangsheng's 700 million is an exaggeration, which is almost equivalent to [-] million buying a movie theater.

"President Chen, five hundred million is enough."

"Do you know what the overall revenue of the Longguo area of ​​Times Cinemas was last year? It was just over [-] million yuan. This is still the year with the best revenue."

"Can theaters make money? Yes! But they can't make a lot of money."

"Take a Times Cinema in Hangzhou as an example. They have a total of ten halls, and each hall has almost a hundred seats. Last year, the average membership price of a movie ticket was 40 yuan. If the movie is full, there will be almost [-] million in revenue."

"Remove half of the share, taxes, and rent, water and electricity in the disaster-stricken areas, and the income is almost [-] million."

"This number is really scary. In fact, the revenue of Hangcheng Times Cinema last year was only more than 300 million!"

Chen Fan and Lin Zixuan looked at each other in blank dismay, isn't the gap a bit big?

Guo Liangsheng smiled wryly,

"The 4000 million mentioned just now means that the venue is full, 365 days a day, but in fact, this is impossible."

"360 days a year, when the occupancy rate reaches more than half, it is less than one-tenth, and most of the time, the situation of empty movie theaters often occurs, which leads to the final profit result."

"Times Cinemas was established 13 years ago, and it has only just recovered its capital. In addition, the local film market in Eagle Country has made them a little confused, and they are not optimistic about the prospects of the cinema industry. And the five [-] million is equivalent to their income in four to five years, and it can also alleviate some of their current difficulties, so it can be negotiated."

Guo Liangsheng already knew some company strategies from inside Times Pictures. As the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region, these matters cannot be avoided by him.

As for the offer of [-] million yuan, he believed that Times Pictures would accept it.

"Mr. Chen, not only that, Times Pictures is also planning to sell the theater chains in Southeast Asia. There are about [-] theaters in seven important countries, and these are even cheaper. I think [-] million can be won!"

Seven hundred million?

Chen Fan closed his eyes and pondered for a while. At present, there are still [-] billion in the company's account, which is enough money, but the next "Iron Man" will invest [-] billion, and he will also set up a project to produce three new movies.

After doing this, the money is really tight.

However, for things like theaters, the opportunity should not be missed.

If movie theaters were re-established in the Tang Dynasty, investment and time aside, they could only be developed in some newly developed areas of the city. However, old-brand movie theaters such as Times Cinemas were built in the center of the city in many places, with a large number of people. Assure.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.

"Mr. Guo, it's only [-] million. We want all the Times Cinemas in China and Southeast Asia. I will leave this matter to you!"

Guo Liangsheng nodded, he glanced at Lin Zixuan who had been silent all this time, and laughed,
"Mr. Chen, I have to trouble Mr. Lin to help me with this matter. After all, I am still a member of Times Pictures. It is more appropriate for people from Shengtang to negotiate an agreement. As for the price, let me coordinate it. I believe This is a way to get the best of both worlds for Sheng Tang and Times Pictures."

Guo Liangsheng didn't intend to cheat Times Pictures, he just seized the information in advance and asked Sheng Tang to seek this opportunity.

Times Pictures really intends to give up all the theaters in Asia. After the "Terminator" tasted the sweetness last year, they found that establishing a theater is a thankless job with troublesome management. It is better to buy a few films similar to "Terminator" "The overseas copyrights of movies like this are cost-effective to develop well.

When the two talked about this, everyone was happy. Guo Liangsheng had grasped the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At least they had the ability to spend a few hundred million yuan to buy theaters. After staying in Longguo for a long time, he knew exactly how much potential the Longguo film market has in the future. amazing.

Sheng Tang has its own theater chain, and they are already invincible in the future film market battle.

And Chen Fan was even more pleasantly surprised to have harvested the layout of the domestic film market theaters in advance, and many methods can also be used in advance.

"By the way, Mr. Guo, in the past few days, we have approved a movie called "Iron Man", and the director is also everyone's acquaintance, Yan Hong."

"The main story of this movie takes place in Eagle Country, and I plan to use Eagle Country actors throughout."

"I can tell you a piece of information in advance, "Iron Man" is about a film project of our Shengtang, it is a huge series of movies, so I hope to use actors with less complicated identities and backgrounds who can cooperate with our Shengtang for a long time , I don’t know if Mr. Guo has any connections to introduce some actors like this to Yan Hong and me.”

Guo Liangsheng became pensive when he heard the words, a vague idea appeared and disappeared in his mind,

"Mr. Chen, you have to think carefully about being an actor..."

At this moment, Guo Liangsheng's thoughts suddenly became clear,

"By the way, Mr. Chen, this is the reason why you want to establish an overseas film and television company, right? In the future, there must be some films like "Iron Man" with overseas actors and produced overseas, right? So Mr. Chen You want to use your own people to make a movie."

"I think we can let Director Yan not worry for the time being. We can set up an overseas film and television company first. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as we can sign overseas artists. At that time, I will look for a list and recruit our own overseas artists, and then "Iron Man" can entrust our Shengtang Overseas Department to help audition and sign the director!"

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. He had a happy conversation just now and forgot about the overseas film and television company.

The reason why he never forgot to set up an overseas film and television company is to make it easier to invite overseas artists.

After all, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Longguo, if you want to sign a favorite overseas artist, you need various labor certificates, agency certificates and other miscellaneous procedures. It is better to leave this matter to the overseas company directly.

At this time, Chen Fan thought of MGM.

"Mr. Guo, why don't you find a small film and television company in Eagle Country, and we can buy one directly? We can't afford MGM, Times Pictures, which has hundreds of billions of dollars. Those that have just been established, or have We should still be able to afford a certain basic film and television company, right?"

Guo Liangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and he began to think about the feasibility inside.

After a while, he nodded,

"Well, after I return to Eagle Country, I will start looking for it. If there is a suitable film and television company, we will buy it. If not, we will start one ourselves. I am familiar with overseas companies!"
