Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 145 Perfect Charm
In September, autumn is crisp and clear.

Even Shen Hao, the boss, couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Although there is still a shortage of top talents under his command, Boss Shen can't bear to overdraw a capable man like Song Xiuzhu who has made great contributions to him.

Even though he only had 5 top talent recruitment papers, Shen Hao recruited another director without hesitation to help Song Xiuzhu share the work.

Like the filming of "Xunlong Jue 2", the execution of the filming task is handed over to Song Qi, and Song Xiuzhu only needs to take care of the overall situation and take care of his body.

The trailer about Konjac Game 2 was released and immediately launched on major media platforms. Fans who have been waiting for a long time can finally feast their eyes on it.

Excellent quality, top cast lineup, perfect script, can be called the ceiling of web dramas!
And Netflix also put the final payment of 3 million US dollars into the account of Yuanmeng Film and Television, and they also expect to cooperate in the third season.

In the second season, the most brilliant thing is the rivalry of the police brothers.

Even compared with Guo Tianwang, Shen Hao's acting skills are not weak at all, and even better.

Although there were some Reuters clips before, there was nothing exciting about the whole film.

From the very beginning, Konjac Game 2 has firmly attracted the attention of the audience.

The top-notch soundtrack and perfect shots make the audience want to stop, and they don't want to miss every second of the exciting content.

When fans who have watched the entire series wrote their film reviews, they all gave a score of 9 or more without any suspense. Many people complained that there are too few episodes to watch.

With so many film stars and celebrities gathered together, the director only shot 15 episodes?
But think about the budget of a single episode of Konjac Game 2 as high as 1000 million U.S. dollars, which is the highest level in the world.

Netflix’s stock price is growing, as is the percentage of paying subscribers.

iflix even picked up the Middle East business again, and entered Japan and South Korea.

Coupled with the continuous bombardment of many hit dramas, Dream Realization now has 8000 million VIP members, which is not far from Ayouteng’s scale of over [-] million.

Compared with Ayouteng's burning money, there is no profit, only continuous losses.

Holding high the banner of self-made Dream Realization Film and Television, it is favored by many capitals.

After the acquisition of Noon Sunshine, the release of a series of high-quality drama series has already started the reputation of Yuanmeng Film and Television, which must be a high-quality product!

It's also paid, which user doesn't want more excellent dramas made by this platform, isn't it worth the money?

……

The follow-up income of Konjac Game 2 was hardly overwhelmed, and it was allocated to expand its studios.

Although there are already 280 cinemas under Star Cinemas, they are still far from the 1000 cinemas planned by Boss Shen.

Based on the 3000 million investment in a single film studio, Yuanmeng Film and Television's expenditure on the construction of the cinema alone will reach a terrifying 216 billion!
No one in the company can question Shen Hao's decision.

Even the investors have some criticisms. After all, this capital-heavy model has not been favored by them.

However, once this matter is done, the leader in the domestic film and television field will be Yuanmeng Film and Television.

At best, Wanda is a movie ticket seller. They have no self-control, and at most participate in investment projects, and they also lose half of their profits.

This style of play of Yuanmeng Film and Television, even the Big Three who rely on BAT like Aiyouteng, can only dare to think about it.

Do you really think that directors like Song Xiuzhu are so easy to win over?

If there is no system, Shen Hao would not dare to play such a big game.

The reason why the domestic film market is growing slowly is not related to the high price of movie tickets.

Other theaters dare not do this because the channels for making money are too narrow, and they can earn a little money just by pointing at the box office.

Yuanmeng Film and Television is more popular. The annual paid membership and advertising revenue of the video platform alone will reach more than 200 billion. After removing personnel expenses and production costs, there is still a lot of money to be made every year.

Even if the theater chain loses money, Yuanmeng Film and Television can fully support it.

In at most three years, when 1000 movie theaters are completed, most of the country will be theirs.

With the help of Konjac Game 2, Yuanmeng Films officially applied for an IPO on the US stock exchange, and plans to raise funds on Nasdaq, which will be used to produce more excellent dramas and enhance its influence in China, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.

Nasdaq's review is very fast. Generally speaking, it takes two to three weeks to get a response on whether to approve the listing.

And the financial report released by Yuanmeng Film and Television is also very eye-catching. Many TV series have been purchased by TV stations in a row, and it has 8000 million paying users, which is even more eye-catching than when iQiyi went public.

Different from iQiyi, Yuanmeng Film and Television still has close to 300 movie theaters. In the future, the number of movie theaters is expected to reach 1000, and it has a complete film and television production team.

Including Dragon Hunt, which grossed 4 million US dollars at the box office, and two Konjac games that grossed nearly 10 billion US dollars.

The extremely impressive results, coupled with the astonishing growth in the number of paying users, allowed Yuanmeng Film and Television to successfully pass the listing approval of NASDAQ.

As for the road show, Shen Hao directly handed it over to Chen Kai. He himself didn't have the heart to deal with a bunch of investors.

Just in case, Shen Hao recruited an experienced senior CFO to deal with these investors together with Chen Kai.

During the road show, Chen Kai was impassioned. For him, the pinnacle of his life was nothing more than that.

In the face of many investors, Chen Kai also confidently described the bright future of Dream Realization Film and Television.

For example, various forms of content IP products are realized, and novels are adapted into film and television dramas, cartoons, and even games.

Afterwards, the IP was authorized for commercialization and turned into comprehensive income such as stationery, props, etc.

After hearing this, many investors couldn't help nodding their heads slightly, and they quite recognized this development idea.

Some leading film and television companies in the United States are very obvious, and the surrounding copyright income is even better than that of film and television.

As for the acquisition of content IP, Chen Kai directly confessed the relationship between Yuanmeng Film and Television and Yuanmeng Literature.

The two are one boss, one is in charge of producing IP, and the other is in charge of transforming IP into film and television dramas, they are a perfect match!
In addition, in terms of advertising business, Yuanmeng Film and Television will also play a synergistic effect with Powhi, and it is estimated that the business income in this area will not be less than 100 billion.

For long-form video platforms, the more advertisements are inserted, the worse the user experience will be, and the advertising revenue will be increased. This is a way of "drinking poison to quench thirst".

In this regard, Yuanmeng Film and Television will launch a super VIP membership with a monthly price of 45 yuan. This kind of membership will avoid the trouble of advertisements and experience real advertisement-free content playback.

The fee for ordinary members will be raised to 30 yuan. The reason for the price increase is because Yuanmeng Film and Television has the confidence that the platform's self-produced film and television dramas will be industry hits.

Even if the competition is fierce, the film and television dramas on other platforms do not have the rich dramas of Yuanmeng Films and Television, and users will be attracted to them sooner or later, gradually widening the gap.

From the perspective of long-term goal planning, Yuanmeng Film and Television still has at least 1 million room for growth, and this is only calculated in the domestic market.

If the growth of iflix's overseas users is counted, the future of Yuanmeng Film and Television will be even more worth looking forward to.

The Konjac game alone has exploded for two consecutive seasons, which has allowed this IP to continue to ferment. Even many European and American celebrities are asking if there is a suitable role.

Movies, TV dramas, online dramas, variety shows, etc. are blooming in many fields, and it also has a movie theater business.

The valuation of Yuanmeng Film and Television is far better than that of iQiyi, which was listed at a loss.

At least from the book view, Yuanmeng Film and Television is profitable, and there is no loss.

If the broadcasting right of Konjac Game 3 is sold now, at least a net income of 3 million US dollars can be earned, which is not counting the income of paid film and television members.

……

On October [-]st, Yuanmeng Film and Television officially landed on NASDAQ in the United States.

And Shen Hao, as the chairman of Yuanmeng Film and Television, holds more than 25 billion ordinary shares, with a shareholding ratio as high as 60.4%.

In this IPO, Yuanmeng Film and Television will issue 8560 million American depositary shares (ADS), each ADS represents 4 Class A ordinary shares, representing 3.424 million Class A ordinary shares.

In addition, there are 1284 million ADSs for underwriters to over-allocate. According to the stock price of 19 US dollars per ADS, Yuanmeng Film and Television can raise up to 18.7 billion US dollars, and the market value will exceed 200 billion US dollars at that time.

This market value is significantly double that of when iQiyi was listed.

However, many investors are still optimistic about Oriental Netflix. Compared with Netflix's market value of 800 billion US dollars, Yuanmeng Film and Television, which may monopolize the Chinese market in the future, is undoubtedly a better investment target.

Fidelity Fund, Capital, Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund and other mainstream institutions participated in the subscription. Because of the high multiple of over-raising, Yuanmeng Film and Television has the right to exercise the right to raise the price by 20%, that is, to adjust the price per ADS to 22.8 US dollars.

In that case, the market value of Yuanmeng Film and Television will reach 288 billion US dollars, which is very close to 300 billion US dollars.

But after Chen Kai asked him for instructions, Shen Hao wasn't moved in the slightest.

With a price of 19 US dollars, it can still attract a group of investors. If it is raised to 22.8 US dollars, I am afraid that more people will wait and see.

On the day when the bell was ringing, Shen Hao also purposely arrived in New York on his own special plane.

As the chairman of the company, Shen Hao should appear at the bell ringing scene out of emotion and reason.

Times Square in New York has always been a place highly praised by the world's top [-] companies for advertising, and has become a treasured place for major companies to display their images and promote products.

It can be said that the outdoor large screen in Times Square is "the world's top brand show".

And the "world's largest screen" here - the large screen of the Nasdaq Exchange, represents the highest peak of wealth and the highest honor in the world.

Today's protagonist, without any suspense, is Dream Realization Film and Television.

The huge semi-cylindrical NASDAQ advertisement appeared a handsome face that was perfect and flawless in the eyes of all passing tourists, capturing countless passers-by in an instant.

For most foreigners, they do not have a high degree of recognition of oriental faces.

But the handsome man on the screen in front of him seemed to be favored even by the Creator. He had both the handsomeness of the East and the toughness of the West.

Some young girls have already recognized the man on the screen, it is Shen Hao who has recently become popular all over the world with Konjac Game 2.

If we say that in the Konjac game in the first season, the policeman played by Shen Hao is just a supporting role, and he has captured the hearts of many girls with his good looks and strong figure.

Then this season, as the absolute protagonist, his acting skills with ease, paired with a nearly perfect face, made Shen Hao completely popular abroad.

Mind you, that's only close to perfect, not really perfect.

When the number of social media fans exceeded 5000 million, Shen Hao decisively added special freedom attributes to his charm.

A charm of 10 points can be called the limit of human beings, and it is the most perfect kind in the eyes of any race.

[Perfect Charm: Charm has reached the limit of human beings, and anyone's initial favor towards you will be greatly enhanced]

Shen Hao understood what perfect charm is.

With a truly perfect face, impeccable facial features, and no blemishes on the skin, he seems to be the son of a god left behind in the world.

After the bell-ringing ceremony, on the day of listing, Yuanmeng Films opened at US$21.2, an increase of more than 19% from the IPO price of US$11.5, and then continued to rise to US$22, and finally closed at US$21.5.

According to this stock price, the value of 5.643 million ADSs held by Shen Hao has reached 121 billion US dollars.

With just one company, Shen Hao already has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, not counting several other companies with potential, as well as the Summit Group with a market value of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars.

Although the stock will not be sold for a while, it does not prevent Shen Hao's value from skyrocketing.

Of the 18.7 billion US dollars raised, 10 billion US dollars will be used to continue to produce series and build a moat for film and television to come true.

Starting from multiple dimensions such as film and television, variety shows, and online dramas, it will attack several competitors in an all-round way.

The other 8.7 million U.S. dollars, excluding the 3% underwriting fee for several investment banks, is 5600 million U.S. dollars, leaving 8.14 million U.S. dollars, all used to smash theaters.

When the theaters get it right, the leading position of Yuanmeng Film and Television will be as stable as Mount Tai!
With a budget of US$10 billion for self-produced drama series, it is not inferior to Aiyouteng.

Not to mention, Shen Hao has gathered many of the top directors in China, and Aiyouteng can only be envied.
