Chapter 331 Foresight(1/2)
2009, Hua Guo.
Magic City Film and Television City.
Although the Magic City Film and Television City has only been built for two years, compared with Hengdian Film and Television City, it is much younger.
But now in terms of popularity, Magic City Studios has completely surpassed Hengdian Studios.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon.
One is that Cao Yu’s investment in Magic City Film and Television City far exceeds that of Hengdian Film and Television City.
After all, it doesn’t feel bad to take other people’s money!
With the support of sufficient funds, the development speed of Hengdian Film and Television City in the past ten years has surpassed the development of Hengdian Film and Television City in the past ten years.
If you personify Magic City Film and Television City and Hengdian Film and Television City, then Hengdian Film and Television City is an ordinary one that endures qualifications and strives for development.
But Magic City Film and Television City, just like Cao Yu, has a bug in its hands.
Of course, money is one thing, but there is another factor for the rapid development of Magic City Film and Television City.
That means having a good location.
You know, this is a magical city!
It is truly one of the best metropolises in China.
If we don't consider anything else but only economic strength, then this evaluation of being one of the best will probably have to remove the number two.
Because the Magic City is currently the number one economic city in China.
Although Kyoto, as the capital of China, has the ability to absorb the national demographic dividend.
But the Magic City is not bad either, and due to its geographical advantages - the provinces around Kyoto are average in strength, while the strength of the provinces around the Magic City is very impressive.
Therefore, in terms of the demographic dividend possessed by the Magic City, it is really not much worse than Kyoto.
Cao Yu’s Magic City Film and Television City took advantage of Magic City’s demographic dividend.
Even if only one percent of the tens of millions of people who come to the Magic City to work every year can develop in the Magic City Film and Television City, this number is terrifying.
What's more, the economic crisis actually broke out in 2008, and the Big Six in Hollywood accidentally became the trendsetters.
Financial giants invested money one after another, and kept throwing money, allowing the six major Hollywood companies to set up projects and make movies crazily.
In order not to mess up, the six major Hollywood companies have invested in 21 major A-level productions in the "Knightsman" movie universe.
Where can these big productions be filmed?
It can only be filmed in Cao Yu’s film and television city!
Therefore, the newly built Magic City Film and Television City has ushered in a wave of great development.
There are projects and people. Once these two conditions are met, everything will start to take off.
So Cao Yu's Magic City Film and Television City began to develop.
Within a year, he had taken the top spot in the domestic film and television city - although in the entire Chinese film and television city circle, there were only two contestants, Hengdian and Magic City.
Coupled with Cao Yu's status in the entertainment industry, many domestic directors and investors are willing to do business with Cao Yu.
After going back and forth like this, the Magic City Film and Television City developed like this.
After the development of the Magic City Film and Television City, the entire Chinese entertainment industry actually began to develop rapidly relying on this wave of influence.
Magic City Studios, in the villa where Godfather Chen gave Cao Yu and Liu Yifei wedding gifts.
"You want to create an idol economy?" Cao Yu held in his hand a copy of the latest plan of Magic City Bonfire Film and Television.
In the past two years, because Cao Yu wanted to relax and unwind, Cao Yu left the film and television company Bonfire Films to others.
Bonfire Film and Television in Hollywood was naturally handed over to Jerry, a local veteran.
There was a bonfire in the capital, and Cao Yu found several professional managers to help him take care of it.
Not to mention, a professional is a professional. In just over a year, Magic City Bonfire Film and Television, which was originally unable to compare with Hollywood in terms of strength, has now developed to be almost on par with Hollywood Bonfire Film and Television.
You must know that Cao Yu, Liu Yifei, Ishihara Rimi, Lin Yishan and Wen Ziren are all under the banner of Hollywood Bonfire Films.
Of course, the reason why Bonfire Film and Television in the Magic City has been able to develop so fast is that it has caught up with Hollywood Bonfire Film and Television, which has the affiliations of Cao Yu, Liu Yifei, Satomi Ishihara, Lin Yishan and James Wan.
Mainly because Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Chen He, Lai Jiayin and others who Cao Yu had personally suggested before gradually started to rise up.
Especially Hu Ge, in 2008, he directly starred in "The Misty Sword 2" and "The Misty Sword 3", and made a lot of films in the six major Hollywood companies, all of which achieved good results, and he has basically become a new star.
an international superstar.
That is to say, the Magic City Bonfire Film and Television Company has this strength and foundation, so Cao Yu not long ago gave several managers the right to independently formulate the company's development plan.
Unexpectedly, not long after, several people actually gave him a plan for developing the idol economy.
You must know that Cao Yu somewhat hates the traffic era.
But the rights have been given to others. Now that they have submitted the plan, it is still inappropriate to reject it outright.
"I won't read this big pile of information. People who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Can you tell me why you want to do this project and how to do it?" Cao Yu took a brief look at the projects handed over by several people and found that
What he held in his hand at first was actually just a catalog of the entire plan, and Cao Yu immediately didn't want to read it.
After hearing what Cao Yu said, several professional managers were very confident.
"Mr. Cao, you also know that our Magic City Bonfire Film and Television has developed well in the past two years. It has developed from the previous situation where there were no big cats and three or two kittens to three or four big cats, and the kittens are even more important in the book capital.
Too many to count.”
This is correct, and Cao Yu also agrees.
Nowadays, in terms of the quality and strength of its artists, Magic City Bonfire Film and Television can be regarded as the only one in China.
Needless to say, Hu Ge has already broken out of Asia and gone international. In terms of status alone, he can be ranked as the fifth person in the Chinese entertainment industry - the top three are Cao Yu, eldest brother Cheng Long, and Kung Fu Emperor Lianhe.
Li, Hollywood Princess Liu Yifei (yes, Liu Yifei relies on Cao Yu’s relationship and her own works are indeed very popular, and she is currently able to occupy the top four positions in Chinese film and television)
Others such as Jiayin Lei, Yi Zhousun, Chuan Jun Wang, Zheng Kai, Chen He, Yuan Hong and others have also stepped onto the stage of the domestic entertainment industry through Magic City Bonfire Film and Television, and all of them are quite famous.
, I dare not say anything about the first line, but everyone on the second line is standing firm.
"I know this. Tell me something substantive. Don't always give me these roundabout self-praises." Cao Yu raised his hand and motioned to the managers to stop talking nonsense and give him something salty.
When several managers were exposed by Cao Yu, they were all shameless and did not show any shyness. Instead, they changed the topic and changed the subject to the key content.
"With the strength and fame of these artists, it is no exaggeration to say that our Magic City Bonfire Film and Television Company is the first private film and television company in China.
However, although the current situation is very good.
But flowers never last a hundred days, and people never last a thousand days, let alone a complex company.
At present, the entire company seems to be prosperous. That is because the dividends brought by the entire company from the endless stream of Hollywood projects in the film and television city are large enough and numerous, and many discordant places have been drowned with profits.
This creates a situation where you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.
But this situation always comes to an end.
Although there is still some time before the end of this, we cannot sit still and wait for death, we must actively seek other pillars." Several managers, one by one, gave me some reasons why we should develop the idol economy.
Cao Yu also understood what several managers said and knew it at the same time.
But Cao Yu also knows that a company cannot always be in a state of rapid development, and there will always be low periods. After all, everything follows the principle of prosperity and decline.
"So you think the idol economy can replace the disappearance of Hollywood projects and become the driving force for the company's development?" Cao Yu asked, nodding.
In fact, Cao Yu knew this issue very well.
After all, people who have not experienced it will never know how much profit there is in the traffic era.
Hundreds of millions in salary, tens of millions in appearance fees, and endorsement fees.
These conditions can only be enjoyed by members of the Hollywood 20 million salary club.
But in China's traffic era, an idol only needs a few months of promotion, and even a specific work is not required. Just a debut video of me singing, dancing, ROP and basketball can be obtained.
How much profit is there?
"No, no, no, Mr. Cao, we are not so arrogant yet." Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, several managers waved their hands in a panic.
After all, how many people know about the "glory" of China's traffic era? In their minds, the idol economic plan is just a means of resource utilization.
The main reason why I mentioned such a big goal before was to show my attitude in front of my boss.
Use the idol economy to replace the dividends from Hollywood projects?
A few people think that is absolutely impossible.
"Huh?" Cao Yu hummed in confusion.
Several managers quickly explained: "Mr. Cao, being able to catch a ride on Hollywood projects is basically a cheating opportunity. We ordinary people don't have the ability to make cheats."
"The main purpose of this idol economy project we proposed is to further improve the company's artist resources by utilizing the current idle resources of the company's artists."
"Oh, tell me more specifically." Cao Yu nodded.
"You also know that the profession of an artist is very resource-intensive in the beginning. It can be said that without resources, an artist cannot grow." The manager said to Cao Yu.
Cao Yu nodded. There is nothing wrong with this. After all, as a star, if you don't participate in the filming of film and television works to improve your reputation, you will never be able to move up, and these are resources.
