Not only movies, Tomahawk Entertainment's other industries are also continuously gathering funds.

In terms of variety shows, "Let's Work Together" has been in production for its fourth season. The popularity of the first three seasons has continued to accumulate, and it briefly surpassed the most popular "Dragon Fighter" several times. Now the fourth season can be said to be a success for them.

I'm a lot tighter, and I'm racking my brains to increase the attractions of my show, for fear that I'll be overshadowed by "Let's Work Together" from behind.

In terms of music, Xia Ningxuan and Han Lan's new albums have made a big difference, and Han Lan's world tour concert this year has also made crazy money. As for Xiaotou, several of its original singers are quite popular, although they are not as popular as Xia Ningxuan and Han Lan.

Han Lan was so exaggerated, but it also brought tens of millions in revenue to the company.

The male group Xia and the female group Xuanji have experienced rapid development in the idol market this year, especially the development of overseas markets. They are frantically competing for the market overseas and in KR, which has also brought a lot of income to Tomahawk Entertainment.

Especially for men's groups, Tomahawk Entertainment's men's group has a fatal advantage over KR's men's group, that is, they do not have to do mandatory military service! Perhaps, this is because they can enjoy the shade with their backs against a big tree.

And since the careers of boy band Xia and girl group Hyun Ji are now developing again, their departure from the group will definitely be postponed. Naturally, the trainees who were originally supposed to replace them cannot just wait, as they have already reached the standards for debut.

As trainees, Tomahawk Entertainment has also begun to plan a new path for them, preparing to form a new idol group to debut. As for whether it will be popular after debut, I can only say that it will not be worse than those of other companies.

These are the basis for the outside world to dare to give Tomahawk Entertainment a valuation of 50 billion.

But the next decision of Tomahawk Entertainment will obviously require them to raise this valuation even higher.

After the May Day holiday, Tomahawk Entertainment suddenly issued an announcement, announcing the acquisition of three domestic animation studios, the establishment of Tomahawk Animation, and the reorganization of all companies under Tomahawk Entertainment.

Tomahawk Group was established as a parent company, with three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Tomahawk Pictures, Tomahawk Entertainment, and Tomahawk Animation.

Subsequently, Tomahawk Group and Black Devil Dragon Special Effects Company issued an announcement. Tomahawk Group invested 1 billion to hold 12% of the shares and became the third shareholder of Black Devil Dragon Special Effects Company.

The No. 2 shareholder of Black Dragon Special Effects Company has also been noticed - Liu Rong! Holding 28% of the shares!

The team of Black Magic Dragon Special Effects Company is obviously unwilling to sell the remaining shares. They need funds to expand their scale and improve their strength, but they do not want to sell the company yet. The reason why Tomahawk Group invested in the company is because they have established a good reputation through cooperation during this period.

Friendship, they trust the Tomahawk Group more than other capital.

This wave of operations by the Tomahawk Group has indeed touched the nerves of many people.

Not just those boring capital evaluation agencies, but also peers.

Since the independence of Tomahawk Pictures, they have realized that the current Tomahawk Entertainment has begun to change qualitatively. Now, less than a year after Tomahawk Pictures was established, Tomahawk Entertainment has changed from a company to a group. This is quite terrifying.

Signal! Not only a huge change in strength, but also the manifestation of the overall strategy!

Several companies in the animation industry have also become alert. The sudden entry of Tomahawk Group is really scary. Suddenly there is a strong competitor in the same industry. Everyone will be panicked!

Although the Tomahawk Group has no experience in producing animation, they are very powerful! Moreover, the three animation studios they acquired this time are not on the verge of bankruptcy, but are quite powerful studios that are on the rise! They still have a lot of power.

There are many works on sale right now!

…

Yanjing, Black Devil Dragon Special Effects Company.

The boss, Zhuo Wenyu, had been waiting at the door ten minutes ago with a group of senior executives from the company. When he saw the convoy arriving, he quickly trotted up to greet it.

"Mr. Han." Zhuo Wenyu personally helped Han Lan open the car door and welcomed him out of the car with a smile.

Han Lan also smiled when she saw their fight: "Mr. Zhuo, this is your territory, there is no need to be like this."

"Mr. Han is an honored guest. He wants what he wants." Zhuo Wenyu said with a smile and personally led Han Lan upstairs.

A group of senior executives also followed behind with smiles on their faces.

Surrounded by security guards from both sides, the area was heavily guarded.

The Black Dragon special effects team does not have its own office building, but rents a floor here.

The group got on the elevator and arrived quickly.

This is the headquarters of Black Magic Dragon Special Effects Company, which is responsible for operation management, project reception and project production. In addition, they also have a production base in Lucheng, which is purely responsible for project production.

The Black Magic Dragon special effects team is currently considered the largest special effects company in China. The total number of employees in Yanjing and Lucheng is more than 400. A large part of them are special effects artists, concentrated in Lucheng.

On the contrary, there are relatively few people in the Beijing head office.

Many people think that the special effects are so sci-fi and advanced, and they are all digitalized, so they should be very advanced. But in fact, this is a labor-intensive industry, the same type as a mobile phone foundry, except that the workers switch from the production line to computers.

Just in front of the table.

Don't look at the many special effects videos on the Internet. Some production teams are just one person, and some have more than dozens of people. But if you want to make a big project like a movie, you will definitely not be able to do it with a small number of people. You can't do it even in the year of the monkey.

come out.

Computers and various special effects software are just tools. They will not be automatically produced. Everything needs to be operated by special effects artists. Sometimes they even have to draw it frame by frame! This is also the reason why special effects are expensive. The labor cost is very high.

.

Moreover, the special effects industry is not very popular either at home or abroad. It can be said that it is struggling. On the one hand, the cost is high. In addition to labor costs, various hardware and software are very expensive. On the other hand, film and television

The industry is in recession. Even though Tomahawk Pictures has made a lot of money in the past two years, other than them, many domestic companies are like that. And many domestic productions are not willing to spend money on special effects. How can the Black Devil Dragon special effects team survive?

The main reason for their success is that they can receive projects from abroad.

But even so, Black Dragon Special Effects Company has begun to decline in its development.

Labor costs are rising year by year, and the overseas price advantage of the Black Devil Dragon special effects team has begun to disappear, making it increasingly difficult to compete with foreign special effects teams. At the same time, more and more small teams are emerging, making it increasingly difficult to grab jobs.

Party A will not give you the project just because your company is large. A movie will often be divided into several or even dozens of projects according to the shots and difficulty and outsourced. Highly difficult projects are given to large companies and large teams.

, low-difficulty projects are given to small teams, which can save a lot of costs.

However, the profit margins of large companies like Black Devil Dragon have been greatly compressed. They either only take on jobs that are too difficult for small teams to do, or they have to cut prices to compete with small teams for projects.

But in fact, due to various cost reasons, it is difficult for large teams to quote as low as small teams. Therefore, many large companies have to reduce their staff, sell off assets, and reduce their scale to reduce costs. Many of them have even produced blockbusters.

The team went bankrupt when they said it would go bankrupt.

It's normal in this industry. Maybe last week I was working all night to catch up on a project, but in the next few months I won't be able to receive projects and have no work to do.

At present, only Tomahawk Pictures is willing to package the entire movie and hand it over to them to be responsible for the special effects, and the price offered is also very impressive.

It can be said that as the competitiveness of Black Devil Dragon Special Effects Company overseas has declined, the importance of domestic Tomahawk Pictures has become higher and higher. In addition, Black Devil Dragon Special Effects Company now receives many fewer projects than in previous years.

, seeing that the pot was about to get stuck, he had no choice but to turn to Tomahawk Entertainment, and now Tomahawk Group and Liu Rong have invested in the company.
Chapter completed!
