Chapter 633: Next Time for Sure!

A little after ten in the morning, Wu Yuan arrived at the headquarters of Light and Shadow Times.

Since Light and Shadow Times on the other side of the ocean entered the acquisition period, Wu Yuan's work in the company's operations has indeed been reduced a lot.

In the past, he not only had to control the general direction of the domestic company's development, but also the general direction of Light and Shadow Times.

Originally, Light and Shadow Times should have made several movies this year, including the "Hunger Games" series.

But now that the company has entered the final stage of being acquired, Wu Yuan naturally does not need to worry about Light and Shadow Times.

Even John's work has been handed over to Disney, which makes him more relaxed.

Of course, he will also receive billions of dollars in cash for this.

Wu Yuan has already thought about how to use this money.

The bulk of it must be invested in the development of Light and Shadow Fast Broadcast, especially in Asia.

At present, American streaming platforms such as Netflix and Disney+ have not yet appeared or have just started. In the world, Light and Shadow Fast Broadcast is the first to develop across borders.

It's just that due to insufficient funds, the development of Light and Shadow Times is very steady, but it can also be said to be slow.

After all, for Internet companies, exponential expansion is the basic operation.

In the early stage of the software launch, it should be crazy to spend money to grab market users.

Just like Disney+, which only started in 2017, but by 2019 it had spread to dozens of countries around the world, with hundreds of millions of users and over 100 million paying users.

Such data, of course, is all from crazy spending.

Before, Wu Yuan didn't have the ability to spend money at all.

Originally, he planned to start the first round of financing for Guangying Kuaibo, but at this time, Disney came to the door to acquire Guangshidai and gave a huge amount of cash, so Wu Yuan immediately gave up the idea of ​​financing.

3 billion US dollars, assuming that only 2 billion was invested in Guangying Kuaibo, this money is definitely more than what he raised in the first round of financing.

After all, Wu Yuan didn't want to lose control of Guangying Kuaibo, so it was impossible to take out too many shares in the first round, at most about 20%.

And can the current valuation of Guangying Kuaibo exceed 10 billion US dollars?

Definitely not.

But if he invests $2 billion in a crazy expansion, the valuation is estimated to exceed $10 billion, or even $20 billion.

This is the charm of Internet finance.

And he doesn't have much time left.

It's already 2013, and in two or three years, the domestic video platform melee will end.

At present, domestic video platforms have already had a big fight. Tudou has fallen behind due to the founder's divorce case and was acquired by Youku.

Qiyi Video is ready to move and start to catch up.

Although Penguin Video has just started, it is still not to be underestimated with the support of Penguin Group.

As for the once powerful platforms such as Liujianfang and Ku6, they have rapidly weakened and been abandoned by the market after the domestic online video copyright hammer was hit.

Although Guangying Kuaibo is now the largest video platform in China, surpassing Youku, it is also under great pressure.

When the three giants start to spend money like crazy to buy copyrights in this regard, if Guangying Kuaibo can't keep up with the money to grab copyrights and doesn't have many genuine TV series under its umbrella, it will soon fall behind.

Of course, Wu Yuan has been prepared for this.

Whether it is Wanhe Tianyi or Baozou Comics, Wu Yuan has already let Guangying Times get it.

Guangying Times will not only spend money to grab copyrights, but will also focus on self-made dramas in the next few years.

It's all about differentiated competition, one step ahead!

When other domestic platforms were still fighting against piracy, Guangying Times had already bought genuine copyrights that were not worth much at the time and were regarded as suckers.

While domestic video platforms have almost merged and started to play with genuine products, Wu Yuan has already instructed Guangying Times to develop its own self-made dramas and variety shows.

Of the 2 billion US dollars, 300-500 million will be used to develop its own self-made online dramas, opening up a great era of online dramas.

Of course, this money is not only placed in China, but also includes Guangying Times' self-made drama strategy throughout Asia.

300-500 million US dollars, almost 3 billion RMB, is enough for him to shoot dozens of self-made dramas and variety shows!

Even if he wants to target the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets, it is more than enough!

As for the remaining 1 billion US dollars, Wu Yuan has also thought about it and still has to invest in the main business, that is, Guangying Times.

Making film and television dramas has always been Wu Yuan's main business. Whether it is a streaming platform or a theater, it is all expansion based on the main business.

This 1 billion will be used to make Guangying Times' own movies and TV series.

These are not online dramas, they will all be blockbuster movies and TV series on satellite TV.

Especially TV series.

Guangying Times has been buying the rights to adapt novels into movies and TV series under Wu Yuan's instructions.

Especially Gu Man's novels.

From "Shan Shan Comes" to "Love O2O" to "You Are My Glory" and other idol dramas.

Male-oriented novels such as "The Son-in-law", "Joy of Life", "Fighting in the Sky", "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Wu Yuan has caught them all.

Next, Guangying Times will produce a large number of TV series, because the mainland film and television market in the next five years will not only belong to movies, but also to TV series.

Especially "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", the TV series and movie of this novel have been approved, and the only thing left is to spend money.

Light and Shadow Times is not the small company in the original world. If you want to do it, you must use good special effects, not those five-cent special effects!

In addition, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Fights Break Sphere" are also TV series and movies.

One billion US dollars may not be enough.

And Wu Yuan's new movie will definitely cost a lot of money. He must make a super special effects blockbuster this time!

Can't let "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" be the only one in front!

Thinking about these things in his mind, Wu Yuan went all the way to the company building and came to Li Xiaoping's office.

As soon as he saw him, Li Xiaoping said unhappily: "Ah, isn't this our beloved Director Wu, Boss Wu?"

"Why do you have time to come to the company today?"

"I thought you had forgotten that you have such a company."

Huh? !

Why is Li Xiaoping so weird today?

Wu Yuan smiled awkwardly, "What's wrong?"

"What else can it be?" Li Xiaoping glared at Wu Yuan: "The company now has three movies in post-production, three movies are being approved for production, and there are five or six TV series projects in progress."

"With so many things going on, you, the big boss, are just being a hands-off boss, don't you care about it?"

"This." Wu Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Next time, I will definitely care about it next time."

"I'm busy with my own movie!" (End of this chapter)
