Others don’t understand how much money animated movies are. How could Yu Dong, as one of the five major domestic giants, not understand?
But 3D animated movies that really make money and sell large-scale movies have always been from Hollywood, and can even be further narrowed to Disney and DreamWorks. There is almost no room for other peers to intervene. The six major Hollywood movies such as Paramount, Fox, and Sony have not been tried, but without exception, they have not caused too much waves and gained real dividends.
And this time it is so powerful and the investment is so big. As the boss and the second largest shareholder on the surface, Yu Dong naturally cares about it. US$90 million, which is a real 700 million yuan, and it is the money that the family has to take out, which is much more risky than the Flowers of War.
Although the investment of the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling is 600 million, this is a multi-party cooperation. Bona is the last one to enter the market. In fact, he invested 200 million, accounting for 40% of the shares. Bona, who holds Southern Cinemas and Bona Cinemas, is now better than Huayi. He has almost become the true overlord of the Shanghai Circle Southern overlord. Even the Emperor has to look at Bona's expression.
Don’t forget my aunt’s plan. Bona is likely to go public in the United States in the future. Calculate the time. This movie just happens to catch up. Once it’s successful, the valuation alone will change drastically. Then IPO will be a real big business.
By the way, what do Sequoia Capital and SIG Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund say?Whether to choose dilution or to get out directly, it is best to leave only one person. My personal suggestion is to leave Sequoia Capital.
Before, Cai Yanzhi didn't pay attention to Bona at all, but just invested some money strategically. So in early 2007, the two most influential internationally renowned venture capital companies, Sequoia Capital China Fund and SIG Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund, successfully injected capital into Pona (before the name change), making Pona the first mainland private film company in China to successfully connect with capital.
However, in 2009, after Cai Yanzhi began to pay attention to the film and television industry, she immediately stopped the original second round of financing, directly increased investment, and successfully acquired the shares of Poly (all from Shanghai circles), which greatly increased her holdings in Bona, so she was a little short of money before. At the same time, she became Bona's largest shareholder and changed her name to Bona. Currently, she directly controlled more than 30% of the shares and indirectly controlled nearly 38%.
However, now we will start the third round of financing. The main reason is that the Pei family and some other family forces in the Shanghai circle want to enter the market, so this time we must give up enough shares to feed them, because then we will go public directly to the United States.
Yu Dong is naturally very concerned about this. He didn't understand such investment before, but now he understands it. This is really optimistic and thinks that it is foolproof. He is preparing for the IPO that will be promoted in mid-2012. Once the movie is so big, I would know that the IPO will be very smooth. At that time, as soon as it goes public, it will increase the company's market value and influence to a new level.
No problem, Chen Chen and I are old acquaintances. It is not a big problem to kick SIG out together, but Sequoia Capital probably has to guarantee 15%, and there is no big problem to add. Such an IPO happens to be their expertise.
15%...Okay, just look at the arrangement. Although there are fewer shares, it has become bigger and stronger. Which one of the real multinational giants has a very concentrated stock?Brother Yu, do you think so?
Yu Dong nodded in agreement and took the initiative to pour wine for Ye Yu. If he really wanted to be as he said, he could have a global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars and set off a considerable wave of movie viewing around the world. This IP would be valuable. It would be of great help to the subsequent valuation IPO. No wonder Cai Yanzhi had to take charge of this project personally. It seems that it is really a big deal.
After listening to it for a long time, Lao Tozi understood it and asked curiously: Animation movie?
Well, the first IMAX3D animated feature film in China is a collaboration with Sony Pictures. This is different from previous 3D animations. It will have more visual impact on the picture. Including "Myth 3D", Bona successfully overtakes in the 3D field this time and has become a pioneer in this field in China.
IMAX3D, when talking about this old trick, it was also very popular. If he remembered correctly, the Myth should have been finished filming. He immediately kicked Yu Dong under the table and asked him to talk about the main business immediately.
Yu Dong also remembered the serious matter in an instant and asked directly: Xiaoyu, what do you think is the filming of the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling into IMAX3D?
If there are enough big scenes, it will definitely be good. Maybe it is really possible to have a big box office hit. After all, there are so many in the 2D blockbuster circle. IMAX3D is really short of it. I am talking about real IMAX3D, not those pseudo-3D. There is still a difference.
However, if you really want to shoot IMAX3D, it is not a big problem for you to start the device after September, but the budget will probably increase a lot. 600 million will definitely not be able to shoot it. At least 100 million US dollars, which is about 800 million yuan. You can do it yourself.
Yu Dong nodded. He really had to go back and discuss it. In Business, it is really risky to invest too much in such a project.
First of all, it is hard to say whether Europe and the United States can be released. Anyway, Sony Pictures cannot distribute this movie, and even Japan cannot make it (anti-Japanese theme).
The second is the domestic box office potential. Although Avatar is the first to completely activate the domestic box office, and the subsequent Hedong Lion Roar series and my barbaric girlfriend are also very popular, these movies are exceptional. After they are replaced by traditional themes that filmmakers are good at, the box office is actually not much different from before. One billion is difficult to see. Five billion is a very ideal data, with an investment of eight hundred million...
It's indeed a bit too crazy.
The others went back to the classroom to attend class after two o'clock, while Ye Yu fucked his sister Li Qin, Pei Zhuxuan and the others continued to eat and drink, and chat while eating. The reason for this arrangement was that Li Qin and Pei Zhuxuan were worth it. At the same time, there were two beautiful girls who helped pour wine. It was also good to insert a few words occasionally to liven up the atmosphere. This was also a good growth experience for them, which could broaden their horizons and enhance their ability to communicate with others.
