Chapter nine hundred and forty seventh attitude change
Tom Cruise can directly invite Ye Ming to come into his own small circle. One is because of Spielberg’s reputation as a great director, and the other is that he understands Ye Ming’s key points.
After a while, I found that there were many things about Ye Ming that others were not familiar with.
Behind Ye Ming is a giant. At least now Ye Ming has something worthy of his attention.
At this time, Tom Cruise introduced with a smile: "Actually, it's because Mr. Ye Ming just arrived at William Morris, otherwise, it wouldn't necessarily be a contract of this level.
Let’s not talk about the contract. Another thing is that the promotional video for the movie I am filming has been promoted on Huihui.com, and this is also the credit of Mr. Ye Ming, because Mr. Ye Ming is the leader of Huihui.com.
Perhaps you should have heard that Huihuang.com is currently in a lawsuit with the US government. Mr. Ye Ming’s courage alone deserves our Hollywood actors’ applause.”
This time, real applause, real applause, everyone respects Ye Ming from the bottom of their hearts, not talking about respecting Ye Ming as an actor, but respecting Ye Ming for having the courage to fight against the US government.
The lawsuit is now about whether Huihuang.com is suspected of being a monopoly. This fact has made many people in Hollywood very concerned.
Because who wins and who loses in this lawsuit may be directly related to the personal interests of these people in Hollywood.
Video websites, under such a situation, what everyone really thinks about is this issue. Hollywood movie promotion usually uses two channels: TV and newspapers. Channel is king. Just like in Hollywood Cinema
The line is the foundation, and in terms of publicity, newspapers and television are the real kings.
But now, in addition to newspapers and television, a third propaganda channel has emerged, the Internet.
As a video website with overwhelming advantages, Huihuang.com is the only one.
Let’s not say that there are no other video websites in the United States. But other video websites are technically supported by Huihuang.com, which means that if Ye Ming is unhappy, he can clean up other video websites at any time. This is why the US government will investigate whether Huihui.com is
It is not suspected of being a monopoly.
This time Will Smith really saw the magnificent transformation of an Oriental. If it was about the actor Ye Ming, he didn't know much about it at this time, and he didn't want to know. But if it was about the boss of Huihuang.com,
Under such a situation, he still wanted to get to know her very much.
At this time, Will Smith came over in surprise and said: "Are you Mingye from Huihuang.com? God. Why is this a person? Oriental names are so strange."
Ye Ming explained seriously: "If you follow the habits of Westerners, my name is Ming Ye, which is not wrong, because in the West, introducers generally introduce their first name first and last name last, but in the crew, maybe everyone
It is customary to call me Ye Ming, which is how we call me according to our Chinese tradition."
First of all, Spielberg really called Ye Ming. From now on, other people on the crew will also call Ye Ming the same way, and Tom Cruise also introduced Ye Ming in the same way when he introduced Ye Ming.
Therefore, few people think that the boss of Huihuang.com, Ming Ye, and the current actor Ye Ming are the same person. At least, if they don't distinguish carefully, few Hollywood stars know that they are actually the same person.
Will Smith said with emotion: "Ye Ming, the boss of Huihuang.com, you cooperated with Jackson to sell songs online. This method allows Jackson to earn at least more than five million yuan every year. This is a traditional sales channel.
Incomparable.”
If we talk about traditional sales channels, the cost is high. Not only do we have to share dividends with record companies, but we also have to share profits from producing records, selling records, paying taxes, etc.
Therefore, if a traditional record sells five million, the singer can take away more than one million, even if the singer is a top singer.
But on the Internet, it is almost said that there is no cost, that is to say, it is just two parts: tax and division.
Therefore, if you sell five million on the Internet, the singer will get at least two million, which is something that transmission sales channels cannot compare with.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This matter does not seem to be a real calculation method. In fact, Jackson will have an income of about five million.
Everyone who downloads Mr. Jackson's songs on Huihuang.com will be given a certain amount of money. Moreover, the cost of downloading is relatively low. If you add up a little, you will get a profit of five million. Our company's people have gone through strict
After calculating the income, and when computers, mobile phones and other Internet terminals become popular, this number will still have great room for improvement."
No one understands better than Ye Ming the impact of the Internet on the entire music market under such a situation. The Internet is the gravedigger of the inherited record industry. It is no exaggeration to say this.
And if Jackson really masters the Internet sales terminal channel, then his annual income of 5 million is just trivial.
Not for anything else, but actually because he is Jackson, he is the King of Pop Music.
Will Smith nodded and said: "That's right. I heard that originally, Jackson's financial income had some problems, but now his income is gradually increasing. With a sales channel, we singers will be able to
Much better.
By the way, Jackson still owns all the music copyrights of the Beatles, will there be any action on this issue on the Internet?"
The Beatles' music copyright will be Jackson's biggest income in the future. It can be said that every record released by Sony will give Jackson a commission. Therefore, despite the fact that Jackson owed huge foreign debt during his lifetime, but in his hands
The resources are also quite powerful.
Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Well, I don't know, I think we will cooperate, but at this time, we have to discuss this matter carefully. It is currently in the negotiation stage, but I think the result will be very surprising.
"
Wilsmith nodded and said: "This is exciting and good news. I grew up listening to Beatles songs.
By the way, man, tell me, if I add my songs to Huihuang.com, can I still make some pocket money?"
Wilsmith is a relatively introverted person, at least in front of strangers. But at a time like this, if music is involved, he will be resurrected in an instant.
of.
Ye Ming said without thinking at all: "There is no problem with this. With your reputation and status in rap music, just wait and count the money at home. There will definitely be an income that satisfies you."
Ye Ming believes this very much. Naturally, Will Smith does not have as many fans as Jackson, but he is also a superstar after all. If he cooperates with Huihuang.com, it will be a win-win situation. As for this
In a situation like this, whether Will Smith snubbed Ye Ming just now, Ye Ming did not take it seriously at all. From Will Smith's point of view, it was quite serious that he did not give Ye Ming a lesson plan at that time.
Pretty good.
At this time, Tom Cruise did not expect that Will Smith's attitude would make a 180-degree turn. This is simply the rhythm of making a movie. Even making a movie, it may not be so dramatic.
Transformed.
Even Morgan Freeman was a little curious and said: "Mr. Ye, I have a question to ask. They say that the Internet will have a huge impact on the film and television market, and now, this impact has already appeared. If it is
It is said that when computers become more popular, video tapes will disappear from the stage of history.
As we all know, movies are not only the box office but also the basis of income. Peripheral products, especially video tapes, are also a considerable part. If this part of the income disappears, it will have a negative impact on the entire film market.
It has a huge impact. In fact, I think part of the reason why the U.S. government investigated your company for alleged monopoly is because of this."
The film market is a relatively large market in the United States. If a large amount of income in this market is hit, the consequences can be imagined. In the United States, the film market is a little different from the Chinese film market.
of.
Generally speaking, the movie market in China is the box office, which accounts for almost 90% of the revenue. If a movie fails at the box office in China, it is considered a complete failure.
It’s almost impossible to say that no one is making movie peripherals. Well, if there is still an extra income, there will be overseas markets for some movies that perform well, but there are simply too few opportunities like this.
.
But it's different in the United States. The revenue and box office of a movie are naturally very important, but they are not the most important. Generally speaking, the proportion of Western movie box office to total revenue was six to seven at the beginning, and now it has basically reached the stage of five.
.
That is to say, in the West, if a movie fails at the box office, there is still room for improvement from peripherals.
The video tape is naturally the biggest piece. It’s not enough to watch in the cinema. Buy it and watch it yourself. For example, there are Transformers toys peripherals, Lord of the Rings prop peripherals, Harry Potter book peripherals, etc.
There is a market for it.
Not only these, but movie posters, souvenirs, such as T-shirts and hats, and even keychains are all ways to make money. Therefore, in the West, whether a movie is profitable or not, the box office will not be the decisive factor.
.
If the peripherals of a movie are relatively good, then under such circumstances, there is no problem in making the movie profitable.
If we want to talk about why there is such a model in the West, the key point is copyright. In the West, copyright and other things are done very well.
For example, if Transformers were in China, those who pirated Transformers toys would be like the Prince of China. Anyway, they can pirate whatever they want to make money.
As for piracy, the film company does not get a penny from it.
This is why it’s not possible to make money by selling peripheral products to Chinese movies. Piracy is too severe. That’s not to say that in the West, there is no piracy at all.
It means that in such a situation, they maintain it better. Anyone who commits piracy will be directly investigated, and the government will directly sue you for bankruptcy.
Therefore, there are no people who like piracy in the West, but they are a relatively small number of people.
Therefore, Ye Ming's impact on movie tapes made many knowledgeable people in Hollywood feel a huge threat.
And Morgan Freeman is one of those thoughtful people. Ye Ming thought about it this time, because the question raised by Morgan Freeman is a relatively realistic issue, and it is also a relatively sensitive issue.
He thought for a while and then said: "This matter is actually not a big deal.
Yes, Internet video has a certain impact on video tapes, and not only will it have a certain impact, but at a certain time, it is not impossible that Internet video will make video tapes withdraw from the stage of history.
But this will take a relatively long time, maybe ten or twenty years. However, if the conditions are mature in the future for Internet videos, you can pay to watch them. Whoever wants to watch their favorite movies on the Internet can pay, and this is also a source of income.
source.
It's like Jackson cooperates with Huihui.com to put his songs on Huihui.com for people to download. This download is a paid download. In the future, movies can be regarded as an extension of the current video tapes. It costs money to buy video tapes.
In the future, it will also cost money to download and watch movies.”
This is a trend, but there are not many people who can see such a trend. And Morgan Freeman can see this, which is already quite remarkable.
And some of the solutions to problems that Ye Ming said now have indeed given Morgan Freeman a great inspiration. Even the people at the scene realized that what Ye Ming said, once it is If those movies are paid for download on the Internet, just like songs, they must be a huge market.
And this market, at least for now, is within Ye Ming's control.
Why does Ye Ming have a special status in William Morris? This is because Ye Ming's own identity determines his current status. I just don't know. In the end, the U.S. court will classify Ye Ming's company as a monopoly.
If so, then under such a situation, it means that Ye Ming's company needs to make certain changes, and he can no longer monopolize the Internet video market. This may be a good start for Hollywood. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
