Chapter 1,572 Some unwritten rules in the entertainment industry

[There is a lot of wind and rain outside the window, and peach blossoms are falling all over the place. So many dreams in the morning, time flies by. --Cherish time】

Wang Zhongjun finally concluded: "This may be a different pursuit. What we Huayi Brothers need 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 it is Wang Jinghua who has been cooperating with us, then it will be difficult for the new people in our company to get up. . Therefore, such a thing 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, so his ideas may be different from ours. So it is normal to establish a theater chain and want to participate again.

But let’s not play with him anymore. Let’s concentrate on the listing. I’ll call him right now. "Ye Ming received a call from Wang Zhongjun. 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 a business with little return. Even if it is to make a movie, then 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 or the people on the board of directors of Huayi Brothers who will suffer, the entire listing may be in vain. Therefore, in such a situation, it seems that it is actually better to give up on such a thing.

However, Ye Ming did not give up because of this. One of the results 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. of. It's easy to say if one or two people do this, but if everyone does it this way, 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 you want to know what this thing is like, then just find an expert to ask about such a question.

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 is definitely among the top three well-informed people.

Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming called Han Shanping without hesitation and said, "Third Master, what have you been busy with recently?" Han Shanping has a lot of work now. If you want to talk about anything, He had to do everything by himself, so even if he was exhausted, it would be impossible for him to do it. Therefore, Han Shanping actually focused on the general direction, and the specific work was naturally completed by his subordinates. At this time, Han Shanping immediately said: "You kid, don't talk nonsense to me. If you have nothing to do, will you call me? 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 to mute the phone during meetings or turn off the phone. Of course, if this person is talking about the leader, there may be some exceptions, but even if the leader is in a meeting, his cell phone will be set to silent. If it is not a particularly important call, the leader will not be casual. The one who stopped speaking went to answer the phone.

Han Shanping was the leader who gave the speech, so it was impossible for him to stay on the phone for a long time. And he was able to answer Ye Ming's call during the meeting, which was already a great honor.

If it were anyone else, Han Shanping, who was in a meeting, would probably be more likely not to answer. Ye Ming has actually become very accustomed to this kind of thing.

Therefore, he did not struggle with such a question, 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, why are those people not interested in this theater chain? 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, there are theaters around the development. But developing peripherals is not something ordinary movies can do. From the perspective of film companies, the development of theater chains is full of uncertainties. Therefore, for such a problem, film peripherals are often a stable source of profit.

Theater chains are generally very profitable, and if they don't commit suicide, 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 China's future movies. They are still very optimistic about Huaxia Future's movies, but investment in theaters is not that easy. It does not mean that you invest in a movie Basically, after a movie is finalized, you will see benefits within two years. A big director may delay it 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. And now the movie has peripherals, international copyrights, etc. Even if the box office is not ideal, it is possible to make up for it in other ways. Therefore, the benefits of making a movie based on such a thing are relatively short-lived. But the theater chain thing is relatively long.

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. A very good cinema can recover its costs within five years. Eight years is also 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 is four years, it is considered a failure. But it is not impossible that this future may last ten years.

When it comes to theater chains making money, there is nothing wrong with this, but it will inevitably squeeze out working capital. It does not mean that every company is as supported by Huihuang.com as yours, and there is no shortage of money at all. In fact, even if their companies have liquidity, they still hope to make movies and run them. The results will be seen within two or 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.

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 a complete lie. It is a complete lie. "Han Shanping actually understands Ye Ming quite well. When asked a question like this, he immediately said: "You kid, if others don't know, 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 is a charity auction later, come to me, kid, and don't pretend to be poor. No matter how poor you are, can you be as poor as me? "

Charity auction is basically a very good occasion to improve your skills, and Ye Ming immediately said: "Look at what you said, Mr. San, 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, he will definitely support it when the time comes. Even if I am not in the capital, I will go back specifically to participate. "This is necessary. Han Shanping has already said this, so Ye Ming has no room for refusal on such a matter.

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 phone call, Xu Zheng came in with a probing look. Ye Ming actually doesn't have many rules in the company. If he doesn't close the door to his office, then even the 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 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 Supergirl's first national tour.

Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, you should focus on doing this. Xu Zheng frowned and said, "Boss, are you really not interested in participating in Supergirl's concert tour?" "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 a very important person is missing in such an event. Publicity point.

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, that is already quite good. It is what a mature director should do. If If you ask, I will be very disappointed. I can tell you that if I participated in Supergirl's tour, the people who attacked us would probably stop, at least not so many would jump out. This is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, which is a privilege of superstars. Concerts with superstars are rarely attacked. After all, superstars are the trump card of every company. If you attack my trump card, I will attack you later. Unless there is an open conflict between two companies, companies rarely attack concerts with superstars. However, if this party is without me, then on such a matter, attack There may just be more people. Do you understand?”

Xu Zheng said thoughtfully: "Boss, don't you just 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 I wanted to participate, then everyone would be more scrupulous. Therefore, if I said I wouldn't participate, then there would be some Monsters and monsters jumped out.

Only when these people jump out, at a time like this, can I possibly find out who is behind them. Only then do we know how to deal with the enemies of our Jia family.

This is something we need to consider carefully. "Anyway, in Ye Ming's opinion, finding the enemy is the most important, and the rest is relatively secondary.

Find the enemy and clean it up. This means that Ye Ming's consistent policy is relatively positive. If it weren't for those people to be dealt with, then this scene might become even more rampant.

Therefore, in Ye Ming's view, this matter must be done through thunderous means. Otherwise, the impact of the next Super Girl concert may soon arrive. Therefore, everyone must be prepared. (To be continued)
