is affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and all sports events in China are currently at a standstill. Similarly, the entertainment industry has also been hit hard by the epidemic. Affected by the epidemic, many domestic movie theaters and thousands of film and television companies closed down. The Wanda Group, which is the investor of the Dalian Football Club and has strong financial strength, has also started to lay off its employees. When his father Wang Jianlin's industry was facing a problem, Wang Sicong came up with an idea to make money, and based on this, he went on a "hot search."
Last night, Wanda Films released its 2019 annual report. According to data, Wanda Films' operating income in 2019 was 15.435 billion yuan, a decrease of 5.23% year-on-year, and the net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 4.729 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 529%. The sluggish performance of Wanda Films is not surprising. Due to the impact of the epidemic, more than 6,000 film and television companies in the country have closed down. As the leader of theaters, Wanda Films is also under great pressure. It is reported that Wanda Films has started to optimize its staff, and it is expected to lay off 20% to 30% of its staff, among which the first-line employees of theaters are the main ones.
Wanda films are facing a cold winter, but Wang Sicong, the owner of Wanda, came up with an idea to make money, and it is still related to the style of e-sports. Recently, someone found in the "Game Sparring White Paper" published by the professional escort platform "Bixin" that nearly 1.5 million game sparring players have made money. Among them, the most priced game sparring player is Wang Sicong, a retired IG team player, and the sparring fee is 666 yuan. /Hour, the sparring game is "Game of Genting" (a turn-based strategy game mode in the game "League of Legends"). Currently, Wang Sicong has provided training services to 5 players, 4 of whom have given praise. The topic of "Wang Sicong as a game sparring partner" has also become a hot search because of Wang Sicong's influence. There are also players who still have concerns about being scolded by the "dominant president" for not playing well.
According to the market of the game sparring profession, many excellent sparring partners can earn more than 10,000 a month. On the "Bixin" platform, the average monthly income of full-time training partners is 7,857 yuan. According to Wang Sicong's 666 yuan/hour sparring price, if he really wants to be a full-time sparring partner, he can earn 5328 yuan in 8 hours a day. After 30 days a month, he can earn 160,000 yuan. Of course, it is impossible for Wang Sicong to be a full-time sparring partner, and because of this, for many e-sports enthusiasts, the opportunity for Wang Sicong to be a sparring partner is very precious. When Wang Sicong responded to the incident on Weibo, he said: "I won't say too much, okay, whoever points at the price of 666 earns his blood."
As we all know, Wang Sicong has a special liking for e-sports. "DOTA2", "League of Legends", "Cross Fire" and "StarCraft II" and other e-sports events frequently won the championship. In addition, Wang Sicong also has a lot of interest in the live broadcast industry. It was only at the end of last year that Wang Sicong also encountered Waterloo in his beloved cause. In November last year, Wang Sicong was first listed as an enforcee by the Second Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing, and then issued a consumption restriction order by the People’s Court of Jiading District, Shanghai. , The reason is still due to his poor management of Panda Live. Panda Live is a barrage-style video live broadcast website founded by Wang Sicong in 2015. After its launch, it focuses on game live broadcasts and continues to expand its content categories, including outdoor live broadcasts, entertainment live broadcasts, and variety show live broadcasts. In March last year, Panda Live, which had a broken funding chain, announced the shutdown of its server on its official Weibo. In addition, the defending champion IG team was also eliminated in the semifinals of the S9 World Championship last year.
This time Wang Sicong devoted himself to the sparring industry. Is it really because of the bad economic environment that he has to rely on sparring to earn money to support his family? The answer is obviously no. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the training fee of 666 yuan an hour is already a "sky price", but for Wang Sicong, it is still a small amount of money. What Wang Sicong values is the higher value behind this hot incident. It is reported that Pusi Investment, a subsidiary of Wang Sicong, holds 8.89% of Wangyu Internet Cafe, and the angel investor of the "Bixin" platform is Wangyu Internet Cafe. Through Wang Sicong’s training session, the “Bixin” platform became completely popularA handful. After the planned announcement, Wang Sicong's investment in Internet fish Internet cafes will also benefit from the enhancement of the commercial value of the "Bixin" platform. Wang Sicong's seemingly demanding and painstaking "play with him" actually has a mature business logic behind it.
