Chapter 238 A group of reporters came(1/2)

Among Hong Kong film groups, Yindu Organization belongs to a very magical place.

Regarding the specific situation of Yindu institutions, those who are interested can definitely find some information on their own, so I won’t go into details here.

But this major state-owned label has two major characteristics:

One is to live long enough. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Depot, New Art City..., these famous film companies are all dead, but Yindu institutions are still alive and kicking. Really done it - a group of demos! I don't need it at all.

To defeat you, I just need to outlast you! (laughing and crying)

In fact, Yindu Organization is also the oldest film group in Hong Kong. And there is no one else.

The other is to live quite well.

In a previous life, the assets of Yindu Institution had reached about HK$3 billion.

You know, Yindu Institution is not listed at all, and those are genuine high-quality assets. Without him, as long as you live long enough, you will leave too many belongings behind.

They have their own theater chain in Hong Kong. They own their own properties and do not need to pay rent to outsiders at all. And because this is a state-owned factory, they will not sell it to takeaways, let alone convert it into real estate. With the real estate market in Hong Kong

With skyrocketing prices, you will naturally own a large amount of high-quality assets;

They have their own huge film library, especially super masterpieces like "Shaolin Temple". With the rise of online on-demand, this film library became a gold mine;

They also have their own distribution channels. As long as the film is invested by Yindu institutions, it does not need to be reviewed by the superior department and can be screened in the mainland without any hindrance?

By the way, how many Hollywood, Hong Kong and other overseas film studios are drooling after looking at the Silver Capital Agency?

That is to say, Yindu Institution is a large state-owned enterprise. Their business style is quite conservative and they pursue stability.

Hypothetically, if it were given to a trader like Li Yuan, it would be easy to raise funds and go public. The total market value would be directly increased to more than 50 billion, and the share of state-owned shares would not be less than 30 billion!

At this moment, Li Yuan of course took a fancy to the theater chain of Yindu Institution.

Although this cinema chain only has a few cinemas, and is outside Hong Kong's mainstream commercial cinemas, and the films shown are basically mainland movies and left-wing movies. But at least it is a cinema chain, right?

In the capital, Yindu Institution has an office. However, because of its nature as a state-owned factory, this is often regarded as its headquarters, and the main departments are basically set up in this office.

"Hello, Mr. Ma."

"Xiao Li, you're welcome, call me Lao Ma. We all welcome cooperation with you in the Yuan Universe!"

"..."

In fact, before coming here, Yindu Organization already knew Li Yuan's intention. They would not give in to Wanwan. Moreover, if Wanwan opposed it, they would support it.

To be honest, in the current Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, Wanwan's influence is almost uniform. Between the choice of immediate interests and future markets, the vast majority of entertainment company bosses have chosen the present.

There is no way, the black-hearted capitalists are so short-sighted!

Mr. Ma Gangma agreed to Yuanverse's decision to rent Yindu Institution's theater chain. Anyway, this is a normal business practice, and the box office revenue will be half of the family's.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.

Everyone has their own opinions. It’s just that Xiao Li was unlucky and was caught by the tabloid paparazzi in Hong Kong.

This Xiao Li is still too young and doesn't know that some things should not be said casually.

With a nonchalant attitude, Ma Gang asked casually: "In your opinion, where does the biggest risk come from?"

"Piracy." Li Yuan replied without hesitation.

"Piracy?"

"Yes! Maybe you have discovered that ripping technology is becoming easier and easier. Now Sony and Philips have proposed the concept of DVD standards. It is nothing more than a dispute over standards. The two sides are fighting within themselves. But the DVD digital technology of audio and video products, this trend

It is irreversible. For example, a few years ago, Sony acquired Columbia, one of the seven major Hollywood companies. In fact, this was a pre-planning for the DVD industry."

While talking about this background, Li Yuan secretly felt funny.

No one would have thought that large electronic companies such as Sony, Philips, JVC and Panasonic, on the one hand, were reluctant to part with the huge market dividends of audio and video tapes and video tapes, and on the other hand, they were fighting to the death for the DVD standard. As a result, the concept of DVD had already been launched.

The technology is relatively mature, but it has not yet developed a finished product.

However, what stunned these manufacturers was that while they were quarreling with each other, domestic VCDs suddenly emerged. For a while, they almost occupied the entire VCD market. Especially the Chinese market?

It doesn’t matter what your standards are or not, you just keep arguing, let’s sell VCDs first?

In the end, manufacturers like Sony could only sign a VCD standard in a hurry, holding their noses to save a little face. But it was just face. Who among the domestic VCD manufacturers would ignore them? Do they still want to make money by selling patented standards?

?

But when it comes to DVD, Ma Gang seems to understand it. He has no concept at all: "Xiao Li, isn't this too far away from us?"

"Lao Ma, imagine this. A family workshop can produce hundreds or thousands of pirated discs every day. The cost of optical discs is lower than movie tickets? Can the whole family watch it at home? And it can be collected and watched over and over again.

?Also, the law has a lag. Faced with such new technology, maybe it is not considered piracy for a while? By that time, maybe not even a movie ticket can be sold."

Ma Gang was startled, and he asked doubtfully: "Is it that serious? Is this too exaggerated?"

"There are more serious ones."

"ah?"

"This is still the development of digital storage technology. The latest thing now is the Internet. If the broadband technology of the Internet can be solved, there is no need to buy pirated optical discs. If you have a computer with Internet access at home, you can watch it at will."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is a science fiction story, right? Will it be so fast?"

"Maybe 15 to 20 years! Anyway, it's already close at hand. In terms of technology, we are just a step away."

Li Yuan hasn't mentioned here yet the development of smartphones and 3G and 4G technologies. Otherwise, it would be more like a fantasy. Here, he doesn't want to scare Mr. Ma anymore.

"So that's it? That's why you're so unfaithful?" Ma Gang was still dubious.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to worry so much, the cold winter period will not be too long. The reason is very simple, we can regard the Internet as a new media, right? Therefore, the Internet also has the attributes of media, requiring traffic and content. Otherwise, who would

To pay attention to it? So we need a lot of film and television dramas, including some things surrounding film and television dramas, such as celebrity lace and so on. Maybe it will be more prosperous than now."

Ma Gang smiled, and he was also a little relieved: "It means there are risks but also opportunities?"

"That's right! It's a big reshuffle. Those who can't adapt will be eliminated, and those who can adapt will be more prosperous."

Ma Gang laughed: "So that's what you meant. Those tabloid reporters?"

Ma Gang is quite familiar with the behavior of Hong Kong and Taiwan paparazzi.

"Xiao Li, so you want to open thirty projects in the metaverse?"

"We, our own family, don't have to hide anything. Thirty

There must be some merit in the project, mainly to boost the morale of the new company. But within the three-year plan, try to complete thirty projects!" Li Yuan couldn't dismantle the eldest lady, so his answer was very ambiguous.

"Then if you have any good projects in the future, don't forget to contact our Yindu agency. I heard that the movie "Infernal Affairs" is good, starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung, right?"

Li Yuan immediately understood what Ma Gang meant: "If you want to cooperate, we can give you an investment quota of 1 million."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

"This is nothing, just cooperate with each other! If you have any good projects, don't forget to tell us."

"..."

Although it is a large state-owned company, the style of Yindu Agency is still relatively close to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The most important thing is the starring cast. At the very least, even if the final film fails at the box office, there is a reason, right?

As for the 1 million share that was given away? Li Yuan never thought about living alone. And what he valued most was copyright, so it didn’t matter if he gave away some.

Besides, Yindu Agency has its own network of relationships. Maybe it can come up with a few good projects in the future? So necessary sharing is also needed. Is it possible that another "Infernal Affairs" will come to you on its own initiative?



Now everything is finally ready, all I have to do is wait for Dongfeng and Andy Lau to arrange a release date.

Hua Zai is currently busy filming "Infernal Affairs". After completion, he has promised to give "Two Golden Guns" a 20-day schedule.

To be honest, Hua Zai himself is relatively easy to talk to after seeing the face of 200 million Hua Zai. Otherwise, is it a newcomer like Li Yuan who will be the director? Or is it an experimental film that is the most difficult among art films and has the highest probability of failure?

I really don’t want to give you even a day’s time slot!

However, Li Yuan doesn't care about Hua Zai's psychological activities, as long as he agrees.

Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to continuing to improve the script, Li Yuan also began to build his own crew.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Beijing Film Studio paid for a group of crew members, and the Nortel Directing Department found three outstanding students to assist.

The actors are also mainly newcomers. Some Nortel students were recruited, and there were also a few who self-recommended. For example, the two co-producers, Zhang Xi and Du Rusong, recommended themselves to be two small bit parts.

Several people came. For example...Yan Qing. Ahem. Who made his image stand out more?

Oh! I almost forgot. I also have to leave a place for the third sister Li Lanlan. I absolutely guarantee that it will be an image-breaking series, and it must reflect the deep love of the brother for the sister!

Apart from that, Li Yuan spent his free time in the library. He finally remembered the creation of the book "The Rise of the Great Powers".

However, within a few days of quietness, a group of reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan came over inexplicably. They suddenly proposed a joint interview with Li Yuan...

"Hello, Brother Yuan.", "Are you Brother Yuan?", "Do you mind if we come over to interview you?"...

Amidst the chattering of these reporters, Li Yuan shook his head secretly, "Even if I don't mind, brother, wouldn't you still come to my door?"

"Friends from the media, let's not be so formal. Let's first ask, did my brother do anything outrageous in Hong Kong?"

The reporters couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brother Yuan, we first want to ask, is your experience real?"

"Of course it's true. Why do you ask that?"

"Many people are questioning, you were a hunter in the mountains a few years ago. Then you wrote a book "Casino", how could you become the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company? Oh, and the chairman of the board of directors of a film and television group
To be continued...
