In short, everyone thinks that the more works Pendulum Clock Culture produces, the more money it loses, and those shareholders who are waiting for dividends to make money have long been dissatisfied.
Now everyone has finally persuaded Mr. Bai to broaden the line of film and television, so that the subject matter of pendulum clock culture has gradually expanded from historical dramas to the most profitable urban dramas and movies, but didn't expect Mr. Bai to agree well in person, but behind the back he found Wen Zhuoyu , want to persuade Wen Zhuoyu to invest in Pendulum Clock Culture to dilute the shareholding ratio of shareholders and deprive shareholders of their voting rights.
As a result, some people were dissatisfied and directly stated that they would withdraw their capital.
Mr. Bai really never thought that it would be a win-win situation, but in the end it would be so troublesome that the shareholders threatened to withdraw their capital. He really can't understand the brain circuits of some shareholders, but he also can't watch other shareholders withdraw their capital - the status quo of pendulum clock culture is already very difficult. If there is another scandal of shareholder withdrawal at this time, it will only affect the outside world. The views of the clock culture, which in turn affect the backlog of the pendulum clock culture.
So Mr. Bai could only stop talking with Wen Zhuoyu about investing in pendulum clock culture, and was busy appeasing other shareholders.
When Wen Zhuoyu heard about this from Song Bai, he also thought it was incredible. But thinking about the ending of the pendulum clock culture in his previous life, Wen Zhuoyu actually thought it was understandable.
This is probably the difference between the people who engage in art and the laity. Even the way of thinking of shareholders is different from that of retail investors who are simply making money.
But at that time, Wen Zhuoyu was busy filming and recording variety shows, and he didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to the internal disputes of pendulum clock culture. After the completion of "Xiusheng", Mr. Bai seemed to have solved the company's internal problems and ran happily again. came to Wen Zhuoyu to talk about the investment.
"We can agree to some of the requirements you mentioned before." Mr. Bai was referring to Wen Zhuoyu's previous proposal to have a veto on investment decisions: "We can decide each one by voting. If you don’t agree, you can put forward your own ideas. I believe that as long as your reasons can convince everyone, everyone will vote for you.”
Mr. Bai's attitude is particularly sincere. However, Wen Zhuoyu disagreed - he just didn't believe in the investment vision of pendulum clock culture, so he wanted this veto. If the pendulum clock culture cannot give him permission, Wen Zhuoyu feels that there is no need to continue the discussion on this cooperation.
Can a normal person persuade a foolish investor?
Obviously not. Therefore, Wen Zhuoyu did not intend to convince other shareholders of Pendulum Clock Culture.
"I think Mr. Bai should understand one thing." Wen Zhuoyu said with a smile. His attitude was gentle and his tone was calm, but his words were so sharp that Mr. Bai couldn't help frowning.
"Whether or not to invest in pendulum clock culture is not so important to me personally. I want to cooperate with pendulum clock culture, and it is not for making money. It's just because I appreciate your company's attitude of being careful and improving when shooting works. ."
In fact, if Wen Zhuoyu wants to make money, he just needs to add a little more leverage and buy a few more stocks that will only rise and not fall in the next few years according to memory. With such shortcuts, who would thankfully want to make money by making movies?
You must know that the fastest process for a play from project initiation to official broadcast takes half a year. In the financial market, half a month is enough to make a person rich overnight or go bankrupt.
"I don't expect to make money from filming, but I also never thought about going bankrupt for filming." Wen Zhuoyu said: "And your company's ability to invest and grasp the audience's preferences has always been disappointing."
Wen Zhuoyu admits that the pendulum clock culture can persist for so many years and shoot so many classic works of high quality, which has its advantages. However, this advantage does not obliterate the blindness and confusion of pendulum clock culture in the investment field.
Thinking back to my previous life, a film and television company with a good reputation and stable operation (although most of the films it produced were not well received, and even because the ratings were so low that no TV station was willing to buy it in the end), it fell into bankruptcy due to repeated investment in films. , how can Wen Zhuoyu believe that the shareholders of Pendulum Clock Culture will follow his advice?
Know that one of the hardest things in the world is to convince someone who thinks the exact opposite of yours to do things the way you think—even if it’s for everyone’s benefit.
Wen Zhuoyu's attitude was particularly firm, even more intolerant than the last time we met. Mr. Bai was also silent.
Other shareholders are worried that after Wen Zhuoyu becomes a shareholder of Pendulum Clock Culture, he will revolt with his veto power. Why doesn't Mr. Bai himself have such concerns?
You must know that the pendulum clock culture is a company founded by Mr. Bai himself. From obscurity to today's good reputation, how much hard work and sweat has Mr. Bai paid? How can he tolerate an outsider who uses a trick like a veto to easily take away his cause?
But Mr. Bai really appreciates Wen Zhuoyu's acting skills and investment vision, knowing that the addition of Wen Zhuoyu is likely to take the pendulum clock culture to a higher level. But everything has a chance!
What if Wen Zhuoyu only has a unique vision in the financial field, and his investment vision in the film and television industry is not enough?
Even if the outside world recounts Wen Zhuoyu's investment ability, he is just a sophomore student and an ordinary person. Since it is human, there are times when mistakes are made. What if Wen Zhuoyu just misunderstood and lost the interests of pendulum clock culture?
After all, Wen Zhuoyu's qualifications are so shallow. In the film and television industry, he is a newcomer. Although there have been cases where investment in films has exploded before, that is an exception after all. You must know that Wen Zhuoyu has participated in so many movies since he entered the industry, and now only one has been released! The selling point of that film is still directed by Gu Xihuai and Chen Xusheng. Who can guarantee that Wen Zhuoyu's next work will have such achievements?
Mr. Bai was really hesitant. But Wen Zhuoyu refused to compromise. Negotiations stalled for a while.
Since he couldn't go on talking, Wen Zhuoyu didn't force it, just put it aside and set up his own studio instead - yes, although Wen Zhuoyu thought it was troublesome at the beginning, he never thought about setting up a film and television company by himself. But he eventually gave up the idea of saving trouble.
