"Teacher Wang's perspective is really different from how a layman like me looks at the entertainment industry. It's very exciting!" Jing Gao picked up the tea cup and raised it to Wang Hailin to signal, smiled and said to Shaofan: "Shaofan, let's talk about it this way
, Phoenix Film and Television is now considered a hateful Internet capital?"
Fang Shaofan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't have Liao Rong to speak for him at this moment. He was a little bit reluctant to let go in front of Mr. Jing. He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Jing, Phoenix Films is still providing guidance on the A-share listing. I won't be able to do anything about it later."
In the next year, what kind of capital will we be considered to be? iQiyi will definitely be on top."
He Qingsha quietly pursed her lips and smiled. Mr. Fang was trying to divert trouble. She somewhat understood Mr. Jing's thoughts and stance.
In the final analysis, Mr. Jing does not stand from the perspective of how the capital side can make money better and faster, but from the perspective of the audience, hoping to see good dramas. And these are precisely the things that domestic entertainment is difficult to produce. Every year's high-quality products
There are limits!
Therefore, Mr. Jing hopes to change certain things and appearance. This original intention may sound ordinary, but how many people in the entertainment industry are willing to do this? Representative of Internet Capital: Youaiteng, Mr. Jing still has such sentiments
Bar!
This made her feel that he had an extra layer of aura.
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Teacher Wang, please take a look at Phoenix Films. From your perspective, what adjustments does the mainland's number one entertainment company under my name need to make in order to produce more high-quality films and TV series?
Of course, I also hope to make money!"
Wang Hailin has always been very daring to speak out. He once said publicly that if a screenwriter doesn't dare to speak, he might as well be a duck. However, he also understands the ways of the world.
Just like when facing capital, he also compromises while doing his own thing. In his own words, "I can even do "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", what else can't I do?" This is his compromise.
side.
Of course, these words were self-deprecating and self-deprecating. He also said later that he entered the industry relatively early and could compromise with capital. He knew many people and could always make a living. But what about those young people? Someone has to come out to help.
He is the voice of this industry! He has been criticizing traffic and the various chaos caused by capital to the industry over the years.
At this time, Wang Hailin certainly would not speak ill of Phoenix Film and Television, although in his opinion Phoenix Film and Television, which clumsily imitated the Hollywood production model, also had various problems. He smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, Phoenix Film and Television and the industry
Other companies in the industry are still different. Otherwise, the annual box office and sales would not be the first in the industry.
Nowadays, in the film and television industry, the real money is not made by making products, but by engaging in finance. The most common methods are to issue stocks, raise funds and other means, acquire the companies of celebrity shareholders, and use box office, ratings, etc.
The news raises the stock price. Then shareholders cash out and cut the leeks.
This is currently the top way to make money in the entertainment industry, so you will see that celebrities have opened a large number of studios in recent years. Last month, there was also the case of Fan XX tax evasion, and a lot of celebrity companies secretly paid for it
Pay taxes.
If there are people in the industry who say that, whoever makes money from their works will lose their status."
Jing Gao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and joked with a smile: "The only reason Phoenix Films can avoid doing this is because Phoenix Films hasn't had time to go public yet.
Therefore, we, the largest film and television company in the country, are number one in terms of box office and sales of film and television dramas sold, but in terms of real profits and influence in the industry, we may not be number one."
Fang Shaofan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Jing."
Wang Hailin thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he would have a hard time passing the test without giving some advice! Furthermore, he came to see Mr. Jing today, and he also had some understanding of the status of such a capital boss in the entertainment industry. It was rare that Mr. Jing seemed
There is also some sentiment to make good film and television works. He has to add some of his own ideas!
"Mr. Jing, I don't know the current main profit of Phoenix Films, but I have limited participation in two dramas regarding the production model. I would like to make some comments.
Phoenix Films currently uses the Hollywood production model, but there is a very big flaw, that is, the amount of funds is limited! The Hollywood production model absorbs funds from around the world. Phoenix Films can only rely on its own funds and loans.
One characteristic of the film and television industry is that repayments are extremely slow. Some accounts are delayed for one or two years. This is very detrimental to the development of Phoenix Film and Television. In addition, Phoenix Film and Television's producer-centered system is a bit simplistic.
The smell of dog.”
This was a bit bold to say. Fang Shaofan immediately frowned.
He Qingsha was secretly stunned, and looked at Wang Hailin with surprise on her delicate and bright beautiful face.
She knew that the current company system, structure, and operation model of Phoenix Film and Television were formulated by Mr. Jing after inspecting the Hollywood production system. Of course, it took two years to improve. The specific executor is Liao Rong.
, so she knows everything clearly.
Jing Gao smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Wang, please explain in detail." He still has this kind of courage.
Wang Hailin often goes to relevant departments for meetings, but he is not afraid of the atmosphere at this time. He calmly said: "Hollywood's production model has gone through three stages of development. Early movies shifted from a photography-centered system to a producer-centered system.
At the beginning of the last century, after the film industry boomed, capital saw the profits of the film industry and adopted a producer-centered system to ensure that film projects can bring profits.
However, as producers bring more and more film projects, their profit margins are still very low. It is difficult to guarantee the quality of films. Therefore, there is the first development. From a purely producer-centered system to a system
Filmmaker + star-centered system.
To put it bluntly, it is to use the popularity of stars to make money from the audience. This model makes the film companies make a lot of money.
In 1948 after World War II, the eight major Hollywood film companies formed a huge monopoly on production and sales, which seriously affected the development of the industry. Countless independent filmmakers, directors, and small companies were suppressed by the eight major film companies.
Therefore, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Hollywood film companies must separate their film distribution and film exhibition businesses. This ruling greatly reduced the financial resources of film companies. As a result, film companies had to reduce the number of productions.
At the same time, at this point in time, the popularity of televisions led to the rise of TV dramas, which seriously affected the income of film companies. At this time, the Hollywood production system had to transform for the second time in order to produce better works and earn money.
profit.
This time the transformation model is from the producer center + star center to the three centers of producer + director + star. To put it bluntly, it means that the director’s artistic creation of a film can bring about the film
Improve quality and make more money.
This can actually become a de facto director-centered system. Because of the game under this system, film companies pay more attention to the director's opinions. Therefore, they repeatedly make concessions to the director in terms of cost control.
Because Hollywood film companies during this period believed that big productions could bring high box office. They believed that some costs could not be omitted. Just like the example I just gave: spending an extra penny will immediately improve the quality of the actors.
But in a movie, what money must be spent and what money should not be spent? This is completely proof of freedom. So something went wrong in the production system. In 1963, 20th Century Fox spent three years and spent 44 million
The US dollar epic masterpiece 'Cleopatra' suffered a disaster after its release, with a box office of only 26 million US dollars. 20th Century Fox was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The drawbacks of this production model have already emerged. However, the production system still has no better way forward, and major companies are still blocking the box office.
With the development of technology and finance, in the 1990s, the production system finally changed again.
