The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

Although Darabona Film and Television is registered in Urumqi in the Western Regions, its main office is in Shanghai. Of course, it also has an office in the capital Yancheng.

As a private enterprise in the film and television industry, Darabona Film and Television has experienced many ups and downs along the way.

Especially after President Dong changed the main production direction of Darabona Film and Television to mainstream movies, although good results were achieved in the beginning, most of the films were critically acclaimed but not commercially successful. The two "Watergate" movies with box office of over 10 billion were the highlight, but the company did not make much profit. In addition, a series of investments in the following years mostly failed, which led the company into a financial crisis.

Transferring part of the shares to attract new capital is a way to solve the dilemma, but it is not enough to just have money.

If the film still cannot recover the cost, and the newly introduced capital is spent, it will face the current embarrassing situation again. Will it have to sell shares again to raise funds at that time?

Therefore, if the investor wants to treat the symptoms and the root cause, the choice is very important.

After consultation and discussion among major shareholders, Xia Haoyang's name came into the sight of all senior executives of Darabona Film and Television.

Xia Haoyang is rich.

But in fact, being rich is not what the senior executives of Dalabona Film and Television Company value most.

Judging from the current financial situation, the company has just raised 40 million in cash flow, which is enough to enable the company to operate normally; however, there are still two or three scripts being filmed, and the company is still short of 150 million in funds.

In other words, an investment of 2 million yuan can meet the funding gap of several film and television projects currently on hand, and the transfer of % of the shares is also within the affordability of several major shareholders.

There are many people in China today who can spend 200 million yuan to make movies, so why did the top management of Dalabona Film and Television take a fancy to Xia Haoyang?

Very simple.

As a prominent figure in the entertainment industry in recent years, Xia Haoyang's name is very popular. The movies, TV series, variety shows and even the music he produced have all been critically acclaimed and commercially successful. He is currently an extremely popular figure in the market.

If Xia Haoyang can acquire shares, it is estimated that the company's stock will soar in the stock market, getting rid of the current downturn, and increasing Darabona Film and Television's influence and credibility among the public.

Moreover, since he is deeply connected with Xia Haoyang, he will probably be able to get some more appropriate advice and help in the production and investment of film and television dramas.

Finally, Xia Haoyang has a clean background in the film and television industry. Although he is rich and influential, he does not have many favorable resources at hand (he does not have his own theater chain), and he seems willing to deepen cooperation with me.

as predicted.

President Dong clearly proposed cooperation, and Xia Haoyang agreed after a little thought. This is a win-win situation.

"The reason why 'Introduction to Architecture' was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful has something to do with the subject matter. I think if 'Little Lolita's Monkey God' is well produced and gets good box office, it should be able to make money. However, this drama takes a warm and sentimental approach and does not require too much investment. Two hundred million should be enough. I wonder if the crew has made preparations?" Xia Haoyang asked.

"The funding and main cast and crew for the Monkey God crew have all been secured, and the project has also been launched and is being filmed in the northwest, so..."

His company had prepared a budget of 500 million yuan for the film, but Xia Haoyang suggested using 200 million yuan for the shoot, which made Dong feel a little embarrassed.

"Since it has already started, with sufficient funds, the quality of the film can be guaranteed." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"Mr. Dong just mentioned that there are several other movies in production. I wonder what the themes are and how much investment there is?" Zhao Yishen asked.

“Oh, there are two low-budget productions. One is an adaptation of a true story about college students returning to the countryside to develop and encourage farmers to start businesses and get rich; the other is a filmed in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Railways that tells the story of a public welfare slow train in the southwestern mountainous areas. Neither of these two films invited big-name stars. One had an investment of five million, and the other just over ten million.” President Dong smiled when he talked about the two films.

"Promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas has been the country's key development direction in recent years, and returning college students to their hometowns to start businesses is one of the most effective measures. Shooting a film like this is of great social significance. As for the public welfare slow train, I am from Putao, and every time I go back to my hometown, I take this kind of green train, which has really brought great convenience to local people in traveling, going to the market, and doing business. The development of railways is for the convenience of people's travel, not only reflected in the fast speed of high-speed railways between big cities, but also in the slowness of these public welfare trains in remote rural mountainous areas. President Dong deserves everyone's respect for spending money to shoot such a positive energy film." Zhao Yishen said with emotion.

Xia Haoyang glanced at Zhao Yishen and said nothing.

"Yes, it's positive energy, but I don't dare to have too much hope for the box office. It's okay as long as I don't lose money. But even if I lose money, I will continue to make such movies." President Dong showed a firm look on his face.

"President Dong deserves admiration. Chinese films should be more than just commercial films." Xia Haoyang was also a little emotional.

"Fatty, can you write a script with a mainstream theme? Then we can invest and produce it together with Darabona Film and Television." Zhao Yishen suggested.

"Write a script with a main theme? It seems possible. I actually have a rough outline of the story in my mind." Xia Haoyang thought about it.

President Dong was very excited: "President Xia, you want to write a story script for a mainstream movie? That's great. The quality of President Xia's scripts can stand the test of the market. If you can write a good script, I am willing to invest even if I have to sell everything I have."

"Let me think about it. This is something we can really consider. I have a rough outline of this story in my mind, but don't worry. I will write the script first. If Mr. Dong is interested after reading the script, our two companies can work together to produce it." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"Okay, I'll wait for President Xia's script. To be honest, I like to shoot mainstream films, and I firmly believe that as long as the script is good, mainstream films will be liked by the public, and there should be a place for mainstream films in the market."

"I agree."

In recent years, with the popularity of "Nezha" and "Nezha 2", a series of films based on China's traditional mythology system created by Yidaoguang Media have become popular in the Chinese market.

Films related to the Fengshen Universe, such as "Tuxingsun", "Shen Gongbao" and even "Shiji Niangniang", can attract great attention from fans in the market.

Together with the "Detective Tang" universe and the "Bald Bear" series, the films produced by Xia Haoyang's company are among the few films that can make money in the currently relatively weak Chinese film market.

Xia Haoyang was not familiar with cartoons. Although he envied the two "Nezha" movies which had a box office of 20 billion yuan, he had never thought about investing in their production.

But main theme themes are really worth considering. After all, there were many wonderful movies of similar themes in South Korea in the original time and space.
