Chapter 1572 Some unspoken rules of the entertainment industry
[There is a lot of wind and rain outside the window, and peach blossoms are falling all over the place. There are so many dreams in the morning, and time flies by. - Cherish time]
Wang Zhongjun finally concluded: "This may be a different pursuit. What we Huayi Brothers want to do now is actually to have a certain say in China. We have almost done this. Although Wang Jinghua's matter is for us,
There is a certain harm, but when it comes to a problem like this, it also gives our company the opportunity to train new people. If Wang Jinghua has been cooperating with us, then it will be difficult for the new people in our company to get up.
. Therefore, such an incident may not necessarily have a negative impact on us. What we have to do now is to impact the status of the industry leader. At this point, we must develop around this goal.
As for Ye Ming, his goal is not domestic. His real goal is Hollywood. Therefore, his ideas may be different from ours. It is normal to establish a theater chain and want to participate again.
One thing.
But we won’t play with him anymore. Let’s concentrate on the listing. I’ll call him right away.” Ye Ming received Wang Zhongjun’s call. In fact, he was not disappointed at all with Wang Zhongjun’s answer.
After all, when Huayi Brothers is preparing to go public, investment needs to be cautious. Let alone investment in theater chains such as movie theaters. Generally, early investment is in businesses with little return. Even if you want to make a movie, in a place like this
Regarding the issue, the Wang brothers are also very cautious now and will not invest casually.
This kind of caution is actually to prevent your company from making mistakes.
If something goes wrong when Huayi Brothers is trying to go public, it won’t be the Wang Brothers and the people on the board of directors of Huayi Brothers who will suffer, but the entire listing may be in vain. Therefore, in such a situation, it seems that
, in fact, it is better to give up on something like this.
However, Ye Ming did not give up because of this. One result he got about Huayi Brothers was the same as yesterday. They were all very optimistic about Ye Ming. But if Ye Ming established a theater chain, then such a thing would be
In Tai Chi, you basically won’t get into trouble with this.
This surprised Ye Ming. Yu Dong also likes to venture into things, but in the end he still didn't cooperate with him. No matter what kind of thing it is, it is quite strange.
. It's easy to say that one or two results are like this, but if it is said that everyone does it like this, then this matter is relatively complicated.
Ye Ming didn't think much about it, because even if he wanted to investigate, it would not be easy to find out, and it would be a waste of manpower and material resources. If he wanted to find out what this matter was like, then
On a question like this, just find an expert to ask it.
As for the real experts, it goes without saying that Han Shanping is one of them. And Ye Ming is very sure that if it is about who knows this matter best, Han Shanping may not be the first, but he must be the one before the meeting.
Three well-informed people.
Therefore, regarding a question like this, Ye Ming called Han Shanping without hesitation and said, "Third Master, what have you been busy with recently?" Han Shanping has endless work now. If you want to talk about anything,
He has to do everything by himself, so even if he is exhausted, it is impossible for him to do it. Therefore, Han Shanping actually still focuses on the general direction, and the specific work will naturally be completed by his subordinates. At this time, Han Shanping immediately said
: "You kid, don't talk nonsense to me. Would you call me if you had nothing to do? I'm in a meeting here. To make a long story short, it's quick and easy."
Naturally, you are not allowed to answer the phone during a meeting. Everyone in the general system knows this. During the meeting, the leader is speaking on the stage, and the cell phone ringtones are ringing one after another. This is disrespectful to the leader.
Therefore, it is possible that meetings are usually on mute, or that the phone is turned off. Of course, if the person is talking about the leader, there may be some exceptions, but even if the leader is in a meeting, the phone is usually on.
Adjust to mute. If the call is not particularly important, the leader will not stop speaking casually to answer the call.
Han Shanping was the leader who gave the speech, so he couldn't be on the phone for a long time. And he was able to answer Ye Ming's call during the meeting, which was a great honor.
If it were anyone else, Han Shanping, who was in a meeting, would probably be more likely to not answer the call. Ye Ming had actually become very accustomed to such a thing.
Therefore, when it came to such a question, he did not get entangled, but immediately said: "Third Master, see what you said, can't I call you if there is nothing? I have something that I want to ask the leader for."
, lest you ignore the spirit conveyed by the leader when making decisions, wouldn’t this cause trouble to the leader?”
Han Shanping said that he didn't believe a word of this, but he didn't believe everything. Instead, he said: "Don't do this. If there is nothing wrong, then I will really hang up the phone at this time."
Are you there?" Ye Ming immediately became anxious and said immediately: "No, no, Third Master, I have something to do, I have something to do, I just want to ask the leadership about this theater chain, why are those people not doing it?
Are you willing to cooperate with me?
Companies such as Huayi Brothers, Poly Huayi, Fiber Optics, Bona, etc. all have no strong complaints about joining me in a theater chain business. Are they so unfavorable about the future of this theater chain?
?"
This is actually what puzzles Ye Ming. Things like theater chains are actually very profitable at this time. At least at this stage, if the entertainment company wants more profits, there are only two
Direction, development of peripherals and theater chains. But developing peripherals is not something ordinary movies can do. From the perspective of film companies, developing theater chains is full of uncertainty. Therefore, on such an issue, the peripherals of movies are often
It is a stable source of profit.
Theater chains are generally very profitable. If you don't risk it, the possibility of losing money is very small. Han Shanping said with a smile: "This is not to say that they are not optimistic about this matter. They are still very optimistic about Huaxia's future movies, but theater chains,
Investing is not that easy. It does not mean that if you invest in a movie, you will basically see the benefits within two years after it is decided. Big directors may delay a little longer, but it only takes three years at most.
Therefore, movies basically follow this cycle. Profits will be seen in two or three years. If you make money, you will make money. If you lose money, you will lose money. Moreover, now movies have peripherals, international copyrights, etc. Even if the box office is not ideal, other aspects will be the same.
It is possible to make up for it. Therefore, the benefits of making a movie on such a thing are relatively short-term. However, the theater chain is relatively long-term.
Not everyone can insist on being a theater chain. Generally speaking, theater chains will be very lucky in five years from investment to recovery of costs. They will encounter some box office hits, and they are geographically located.
Only for a good cinema can it be possible to recover the cost in five years. Eight years is normal, and it is estimated that it may be ten years in the future.
In the past, this cycle was only two to three years. If it was four years, it would be considered a failure. But it is not impossible that the future may be ten years.
There is nothing wrong with saying that theater chains make money, but it will definitely squeeze out working capital. It does not mean that every company is as supported by Huihuang.com as your company, and there is no shortage of money at all. Those companies of theirs are actually
If I have working capital, I hope to make a movie and put it into operation. The results will be visible within two to three years.
Tell me, if you were in the position of the Wang brothers, what would you choose?"
This seems to be an easy choice. There is no need to ask whether making a movie is the most suitable investment.
After all, it’s about making movies, and it’s a choice everyone has recognized.
Ye Ming immediately defended himself and said: "This is a rumor. Our company doesn't have much liquidity. Those are used for their own purposes. In fact, we are also very short of money.
To say that we are not short of money is completely a lie. It is a lie." Han Shanping actually understood Ye Ming quite well. When asked a question like this, he immediately said: "You kid, others don't know but I don't know.
? Don’t cry poor to me. If your company has no money, then other people’s companies are just beggars? There will be a charity auction later, you kid, come to me to participate. Don’t pretend to be poor for me. No matter how poor you are, you can do it.
Am I poor?"
Charity auction is basically a very good occasion to improve your skills, and Ye Ming immediately said: "Look at what you said, Third Master, it seems that no matter how rich I am, everything is up to you."
Isn’t it under the leadership of
Since the leader has said it, I will definitely support him when the time comes. Even if I am not in the capital, I will go back to participate specifically." This is necessary, and Han Shanping has already mentioned it.
In such a matter, Ye Ming had no room for refusal.
Therefore, he knew that he had no reason to refuse, and he naturally said that he would be very happy when he agreed. Before he finished the call, Xu Zheng came in with a probing look. Ye Ming actually didn't have many rules in the company. If it was said that he
If you don't close the door of your office, even a cleaning lady in the company can knock on the door and come in at this time. Xu Zheng saw Ye Ming making a phone call, then knocked on the door and walked in. Ye Ming and
Han Shanping only put down the phone after repeated assurances.
Then he said: "Director Xu, if you don't go about your own business, why are you coming to my place? You must know that this is Super Girl's first national tour.
Therefore, in such a matter, you should focus on doing this." Xu Zheng frowned and said: "Boss, are you really not interested in participating in Supergirl's tour concert?
?" If there is a party where Ye Ming appears, it will be a huge publicity effect for the entire party. But if there is no Ye Ming, then there is a very important missing person in such an event.
The publicity point is spot on.
As a director, Xu Zheng did not want to see this kind of thing. Ye Ming nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, if you can think of something like this while you are busy with the concert, then it is already
It's pretty good. It's what a mature director should do. If you ask, then I will be very disappointed. I can tell you that if I participated in the Supergirl tour, the people who attacked us would have
Maybe they will stop, at least not so many will jump out. This is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, which is a privilege of superstars. Concerts with superstars will rarely be attacked. After all, superstars are everyone
If you attack my trump card, I will attack your trump card. Unless there is an open conflict between two companies, companies will rarely attack concerts with superstars. However, if you talk about this
If there were no me at the party, there would probably be more people attacking something like this. Do you understand?"
Xu Zheng said thoughtfully: "Boss, don't you want to play a long game to catch the big fish? Let's see who will attack our concert, and you will find out who is standing behind those people later.
What force?" Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right, that's pretty much what happened. If I said that I would participate, then everyone would be more scrupulous. Therefore, if I said that I would not participate, then there would be some
Monsters and monsters jumped out.
Only when these people jump out, at a time like this, will it be possible for me to find out who is behind them. Only then will I know how to deal with the enemies of our Jia family.
This is something we need to consider carefully. The enemy's cunning is often unpredictable."
Xu Zheng is said to consider things in more detail. As a director, this is a relatively good habit.
Anyway, in Ye Ming's opinion, finding the enemy is the most important, and the rest is relatively secondary.
Find the enemy and punish them to death. This means that Ye Ming's consistent policy is relatively positive. If it were not to punish those people, then this situation may become even more rampant.
Therefore, in Ye Ming's view, this matter must be done through thunderous means. Otherwise, the next stop of the Super Girl concert may have an impact soon, so everyone must be prepared.
