I want to make headlines

Chapter 674 Drivers
The development of the special effects company was somewhat beyond Gan Jing's expectations. He had a vague idea of ​​going public, but he never expected it to be at such a time.

According to his prediction, Huaxia Special Effects can win most of the domestic film and television special effects market, export it to the outside world, and lead it internally. At that time, it will be his ideal development to talk about going public.

Now, although "Life of Pi" won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and established its status, the special effects sector is limited by its own characteristics of being in the lower reaches of the film and television industry, and its profits are very meager.

Moreover, film and television special effects must keep up with the development of technology of the times, and even rely on themselves to make breakthroughs.

Huaxia Special Effects Company won the Oscar, isn't it great?

Great.

However, we must face up to a problem. The wave effect production of Boys School not only gathered the industry leaders of Oscar, but also gathered all the resources that can be gathered inside and outside the company.

Gan Jing didn't think it was easy to reproduce that level of focus, nor did he think that everyone in the company would be willing to do it again at a loss.

Returning to his own company from Huaxia Special Effects Company, his thoughts were quite chaotic, and he didn't come back to his senses until Zhou Pu came in.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Pu, you used to say that your daughter is my fan, why have you never seen you bring her to the company?" Whenever Gan Jing saw this president in charge of capital investment, he would always think of why he would Come.

"I always can't catch up. I had time a while ago, but you were filming abroad." Zhou Pu smiled, "There is a chance. Her father is working under her idol now, so why not see her?"

Gan Jing got up and poured tea for Zhou Pu himself, and said with a smile: "I have a new play recently, if your daughter has time to play a guest role or something, it's a right to play. Of course, whether it can be cut in the final shot is a matter of course." Say something else."

Zhou Pu's eyes lit up, this matter was much more pleasing to him than a salary increase or something.

In the office, the two drank tea and chatted for a while, and Zhou Pu also reported on his recent venture capital work.

Gan Jing listened to the professional operation of this professional, and only listened to the details. Occasionally, he would interject to ask some judgments about the trend. In the end, he still brought up a question about China's special effects.

Of course, not just dictation, but also previous information about special effects companies.

Zhou Pu had been in charge of the equity work there for a while, and he knew A-Gump's influence, but he didn't know the specific route until now, since his work was quite busy after all.

After browsing like this for a long time, Zhou Pu summed up the problem: "A-Gump, to put it simply, on the special effects company side, you want to be driven by feelings, but now they want to be driven by capital, so there is a disagreement."

"Uh." Gan Jing was taken aback, "It's a bit too simple to say..."

"Get to the essence of the problem." Zhou Pu put down the materials in his hand, and said simply, "Mr. Xiao needs to develop, use more money to do more things, and circle more markets. This will inevitably happen. One question, the demand in the domestic market itself is mixed, and if you take the capital money, you need to consider the capital's profit-seeking needs more. Wumao special effects, can you accept it?"

Wumao special effects refer to those low-quality special effects productions. Of course, this category has nothing to do with blockbuster movies, but is there no market for them?

Gan Jing swallowed back the "no answer" that he wanted to blurt out. This answer came instinctively as an excellent actor. He didn't want to see those low-quality films flooding the market, but what kind of film is beneficial to the company? The development is better, and he is also confused.

Zhou Pu continued to talk eloquently: "[-] cents for special effects, others paid [-] cents, but Mr. Xiao and the others only paid [-] cents to do it. The crew claimed to cooperate with the Oscar's best visual effects company, which made them famous and robbed the box office; Mr. Xiao and the others have made profits in order to go public, and the company's financial report is good; who will suffer in the end?"

Gan Jing still kept the word "audience" in his heart this time.

"This is the case of listing in China, because you have to make a profit to go public. If you want to go to the U.S. stock market, even if you are losing money, you can show high growth and a big market, draw a big pie there, and you can go public even if you are losing money. Yes, just like JD.com, which was successfully listed in the first half of this year, and suffered losses from its establishment to its listing, but it can give people confidence.”

"However, are you willing to list Huaxia Special Effects in the United States? According to the current development of the company, I roughly estimate that the road to listing may last for two or three years. During this period, there must be funds to lead the investment." Zhou Pu understands. Gan thought, and asked, "Do you want the shares of Huaxia Special Effects to be controlled by American capital?"

If it is controlled by American capital, why do you do this yourself?
Gan Jing was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "What about AB shares?"

"Dual shareholding is possible, but it may not be possible. Jobs was also kicked out." Zhou Pu cited a well-known example. AB shares and dual shareholding mean the same thing, and they want to use a small amount of capital to control the whole company.

"It's really annoying." Gan Jing sighed.

Zhou Pu nodded, without making any conclusions, he just looked at this incident with his own eyes, although the current Huaxia Special Effects and Forrest Gump are a little bit different, they are still considered a mess, but if the goals are different, the cracks will expand as they walk .

"China's special effects are joined together to take advantage of the 3D trend. I participate in it without much self-interest. I am more willing to use it to drive the development of domestic film and television special effects and make up for a part of the film and television industry." Gan Jing exhaled, "I have some specific ideas."

Zhou Pu looked at A-Gump, saw that he didn't seem to continue talking, so he had some thoughts in his mind, and didn't pursue further.

Personally, he is not very optimistic about the listing of Huaxia Special Effects Company. There are not too many special effects companies that have closed down worldwide. Even with the help of the development of emerging markets, it is not easy to make profits.

Regarding the judgment on this point, he directly gave the judgment when he first took over the disposal of the equity there, and felt that if the special effects company wanted to be truly large in scale, it must get involved from the downstream to the upstream.

In other words, not only special effects production, but also film and television production, transforming from a special effects production company to a comprehensive film and television company.

But is it so easy to transform and expand?
Do you have a director?Do you have actors?Can your investment make money?

With this skill, maybe you can use the money to invest in real estate and wait for it to appreciate, making money faster.

Thinking of this, Zhou Pu took a sip of the cold tea, looked at A-Gump who was frowning and thinking, and let out a breath quietly, the balance between feelings and profit was difficult to develop.

Forrest Gump, he is not an expert on this road either.
