Chapter 540 I'm the Mistress(1/2)
Although many companies in Neon Country have adopted proactive and proactive defensive policies.
However, after a large amount of Hong Kong capital came in, many first-tier celebrities were still poached at high prices.
And the same scene is also staged in Tai Chi Kingdom.
At this time, Tai Chi entertainment industry was not developed. Not to mention that it was comparable to the entertainment industry in Neon Country, even 1/5 of the film production in Hong Kong City did not produce.
The value of celebrities is even lower, and even the top stars are far lower than the previous annual income of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
After all, Harbor City still has the title of Oriental Pearl in Asia.
A highly economically developed city will inevitably spend a lot of money on the entertainment industry.
And the current Seoul is simply incomparable to Harbour City.
The strength of the whole country cannot be compared.
In this case, when Hong Kong funds are waving a large number of checks.
The local entertainment companies had almost no resistance and were wiped out in an instant.
The top 20 actors and actresses were all poached at high prices.
Faced with those insignificant liquidated damages, the stars have completed all the processes of changing jobs in less than a week.
While these capitals were crazily catching land in areas outside Hong Kong City, Zhao Wanqiu saw a report sent by the company's artist director.
That night, Zhao Wanqiu and Lin Ping started talking about this issue while having dinner.
"When you could sign these actors on a large scale in Hong Kong City, why didn't you copy such experience to Neon Kingdom and Tai Chi Kingdom?" Zhao Wanqiu was very curious. It was a simple thing, especially after you had mastered 13,000 cinemas in your hands, which was something that you should have planned early.
But why did Lin Ping not do anything?
Just let others waving their checks to surround the land?
“We cannot be the only company in Asia, and this industry needs to flourish.
Let us jamm the channel tightly, and no one can jump out of our Five Fingers Mountain.
Instead of crazy spending high prices to sign contracts outside of Harbor City, it is better to use the money to build cinemas or acquire shares in other cinemas.
As long as we have the only theater system in our hands.
If these people want to release their movies, they still need to come and ask us for help." Lin Ping's answer was very straightforward.
Celebrities are not worth mentioning in front of capital.
In the era of the Internet explosion, no matter whether you are the well-known director Feng or the top traffic, all kinds of young and handsome guys.
Even if you have the title of Heavenly King, even if you are Heavenly King Liu.
If theaters do not schedule films for you, what can you do if your movie has a good reputation?
In the final analysis, it is up to the capital of the theater chain.
Hearing Lin Ping's response so lightly, although Zhao Wanqiu agreed, he still had some questions.
"Since you know that theaters are so important, why would you spend 100 million Hong Kong dollars to sign Cheng Long?
Isn’t it good to let him stay at Jiahe Pictures?" Zhao Wanqiu asked in confusion.
“The reason why we are in Hong Kong is that we have the only one.
It is our goal to make a demonstration to other film partners.
Let them know what kind of video is suitable for release in our theaters.
If it is a small production that invests 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, it relies entirely on the bottomless funny, and even wants to use the screenwriter's personal talent to seek box office results with greater benefits.
For this type of movie, we can't say they are bad.
But it is obviously not suitable for online screenings throughout Asia and even the entire world.
We now require an investment of HK$10 million.
Only after the bottom line of investment is drawn, will each film company carefully produce every movie in the company.
Even if it is a small prop, even if it is a light adjustment in a tiny shot, or even every line in a sentence will be modified repeatedly to achieve the best effect.
Only by meticulously crafted in various details can this film barely qualify for global supply.
Now we are just a general requirement, the bottom line of investment in movies.
In the future, what ratio will we ask for a movie’s celebrity pay and production cost?
We don’t want more than half of a 10 million movie investment to be taken away by celebrities. Only when a better movie appears can our theaters have a better reputation.
If our theaters were all released in a mess, audiences around the world would no longer buy tickets to enter our theaters.
The first thing we need to ensure is that every movie released by Dongfanghong Theater is a fine product." Lin Ping did not want to review the scripts of each movie, but there would be strict requirements on the production cost of the movie.
No film company wants its investment to be wasted.
It is precisely because of this that they take this matter more seriously.
"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Do you choose to go home for the New Year, or do you want to stay in Hong Kong City to watch the effect of these movies when they are released?" Zhao Wanqiu no longer has many relatives in the capital.
Now that I asked this, it is obvious that for Zhao Wanqiu, she would rather stay in Hong Kong City for the New Year.
"My current identity is special, so I will definitely go back to the capital during the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, the mainland market also needs someone to focus on various box offices.
Thank you for your hard work in Hong Kong City at that time." Lin Ping looked at Zhao Wanqiu apologetically and said.
"Mu Yanfei called me and she hoped to live with me during the Chinese New Year.
The clothing industrial park she invests in is said to have been leveled and the factory has started construction.
It is estimated that after the Chinese New Year, production and operation will begin soon.
She called me, hoping that these two TV stations would provide appropriate support and exemption for her advertising costs.
And I hope that all the costumes and props we shoot in the future can use the products of her brand." When Zhao Wanqiu said this, his eyes were full of contents at Lin Ping.
If Mu Yanfei was a simple businessman, how could she have the nerve to put forward such conditions?
Just Zhao Wanqiu and her did not seem to have a particularly deep friendship.
Before Mu Yanfei entered the clothing industry, she did have business dealings with Lin Ping.
He is even an important agent for Lin Ping in North America.
If Mu Yanfei had not expanded his territory in North America, the gaming console business would not have been so smooth.
After all, for North America, it is the base of Atari Company.
As the leading player in the market, how could Atari Game Company allow an outsider to come to its territory to show off its power?
Even if you can't stop you from starting sales business, there will always be pits and traps for you in various places, or even various obstacles.
Even launching a series of judicial lawsuits, even if you can't win, delaying your entry time is a business strategy.
I have to admit that she has indeed helped a lot in the North American market.
However, its own entertainment media and electronic games are relatively independent subsidiaries.
Even if there is a fee reduction, it should be what Lin Ping, the head office manager, should have spoken.
Why did you have to bypass Lin Ping and say hello to me?
"this...
You also know that our mainland is not short of labor, but the ability to sell products at high prices.
Especially the ability to sell products to internationally earn foreign exchange.
For ordinary people, of course they don’t care about foreign exchange.
They only care about their own salary and whether they can support their families.
Now we are creating job opportunities?
The clothing industrial park is a labor-intensive industry, and a large number of workers will work in the industrial park.
Moreover, in the upstream textile industry of this industry, even the planting and picking of cotton, a large number of people are required.
If we build this industry and have enough ability to become stronger and bigger.
We are contributing our own strength to the country and ordinary people.
If it were the past, you were just a library administrator, and I was just an apprentice in an electronics factory.
Of course, the two of us couldn't help much in this situation.
But now we are fully capable of supporting the birth of several brands.
If there are a large number of consumers in Hong Kong and even Asia, the wider world, wearing our brand clothing.
So for us, this is not just an extra channel to make money.
We support millions or even tens of millions of people to support our families.
I can't pay attention to the matter of the clothing industry park every day, so you are the most critical person except her Mu Yanfei." Lin Ping can only wear a high hat crazy, hoping that Zhao Wanqiu can take on this burden.
