Tom Cruise can directly invite Ye Ming over and come to his own small circle, one is the face of Spielberg, the big director, and the other is that he understands Ye Ming's key points and finds that Ye Ming has a lot of things that others are not familiar with.

Behind Ye Ming is a behemoth, 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 has just arrived at William Morris, otherwise, it wouldn't be a contract of this level."

Let's not talk about the contract, there is another thing that is to say, the movie I am shooting, the promotional film has been promoted in the brilliant network, and this is also the credit of Mr. Ye Ming, because Mr. Ye Ming is the chairman and president of the brilliant network, maybe everyone should have heard that the brilliant network is now fighting a lawsuit with the US government, just to say that Mr. Ye Ming's courage is worthy of our Hollywood actors to applaud him. ”

This time, the real applause, the real applause, everyone is a kind of respect for Ye Ming from the bottom of their hearts, not to say that they respect Ye Ming's identity as an actor, but to respect Ye Ming's courage to fight a lawsuit with the US government.

Because who wins and who loses this lawsuit may be directly related to the personal interests of these people in Hollywood.

Video website, in such a situation, everyone really thinks of such a problem. Hollywood's film promotion is generally through two channels: television and newspapers, and channels are king. It's like Hollywood theaters are fundamental, and in terms of publicity, newspapers and TV are the real kings.

But now, outside of newspapers and television, it is already said that a third propaganda channel has appeared, the Internet.

As a video website with overwhelming advantages, Brilliant Network is dominant.

The United States does not say that there are no other video sites. But other video websites are supported by Brilliant Network as a technical support, which means that if Ye Ming is unhappy, he can clean up other video websites at any time. This is why it is reasonable for the U.S. government to investigate whether Brilliant Network is suspected of monopoly.

This time, Will Smith really saw the gorgeous turn of an Oriental. If it was actor Ye Ming, he didn't know much at this time, and he didn't want to know. But if it's the boss of the brilliant network, then in such a situation. He still really wants to get to know.

At this time, Will Smith came over in surprise and said, "Are you the bright leaf of the brilliant net? Why is this a person, the name of the Oriental is so strange. ”

Ye Ming explained seriously: "If according to the habits of Westerners, my name is Ming Ye, it is not wrong, because in the West, the general introducer is the first name of the introduction, and the surname is the back, but in the crew." Maybe everyone is used to calling me Ye Ming, which is according to our Chinese tradition to call me. ”

First of all. Spielberg called Ye Ming as he really was, and the rest of the crew called Ye Ming the same way in the future, and Tom Cruise, the guy, introduced Ye Ming the same way when he introduced Ye Ming.

Therefore, few people regard Ming Ye, the boss of Brilliant Network, and Ye Ming, the current actor, as the same person. At least if you don't tell carefully, few of Hollywood's stars know that it's actually a one-man person.

Will Smith said with great emotion: "Ye Ming, the boss of Brilliant Network, you and Jackson cooperate to sell songs online, this method allows Jackson to have at least more than five million income every year, which is incomparable to traditional sales channels." ”

If it is said that in the traditional sales channel, the cost is high, not only to share dividends with record companies, but also to make records, sell records, pay taxes, etc.

Therefore, on traditional records, with sales of five million, the singer can take more than one million, even if the singer is a top singer.

But on the Internet, it almost means that there is no cost, that is, there are only two parts: paying taxes and sharing.

Therefore, if you sell five million on the Internet, the singer will take at least two million, which is incomparable to the transmission sales channel.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This matter doesn't 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 the brilliant network will give him a certain amount of money, and the cost of downloading is relatively low, adding up to a lot, five million income, which is the income obtained by the people of our company after strict calculation, and when the Internet-based terminals such as computers and mobile phones are popularized, this number will still have great room for improvement. ”

No one understands better than Ye Ming what the impact of the Internet on the entire music market is in such a situation. The Internet is the gravedigger of the record industry. This is not an exaggeration at all.

And if Jackson really mastered the Internet sales terminal channel, then his annual income of five million is just a small matter.

If nothing else, in fact, it's just for him to be Jackson, he's the king of pop.

Will Smith nodded and said: "That's right, I heard that originally, Jackson's financial income was a little problematic, but now his income is gradually increasing, and having a sales channel will make us singers a lot better."

By the way, Jackson still has all the music rights of the Beatles, will this be any more brilliant online moves?"

The music copyright of the Beatles, this is the biggest profit in Jackson's future days, it can be said that every record released by Sony is to give Jackson a commission. Therefore, don't look at Jackson's huge foreign debts during his lifetime, but the resources in his hands are also quite powerful.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "This, I don't know, I think we will cooperate, but at this time, we have to negotiate this matter carefully." We are currently at the negotiation stage, but I think the outcome will be very surprising. ”

Will Smith nodded and said, "This is exciting good news. I also grew up listening to Beatles songs.

By the way, man, you say, if I add my songs to the brilliant network, will I be able to earn a little pocket money?"

Will Smith is a more introverted person, at least in front of strangers. But in this case, if it means that music is involved. Then he will be resurrected in an instant.

And Ye Ming didn't think about it at all and said: "There is no problem with this, with your reputation and status in rap music, you just wait to count the money at home." There will definitely be an income that will satisfy you. ”

Ye Ming believes in this very much, and Wellsmith's fans are naturally not as many as Jackson's, but. People are also superstars. If you cooperate with Brilliant Network, it will be a win-win situation, as for saying that in such a situation, whether Will Smith snubbed Ye Ming just now, this Ye Ming is not the same thing at all. From Wellsmith's point of view, the lesson plan that didn't give Ye Ming a face at that time was already quite good.

At this time, Tom Cruise did not expect that Will Smith's attitude would come to a 180-degree turn. It's the rhythm of making a movie, even if it's a movie. There may not have been such a dramatic turnaround.

Even Morgan Freeman said with some curiosity: "Mr. Ye, I have a question I want to ask, they all say that the Internet will have a huge impact on the film and television market, and now, this impact has been revealed.

And as we all know, movies are not only the basis of income at the box office, but also peripheral products, especially videotapes, which are also a considerable part. If this part of the income disappears, it will have a huge impact on the entire film market. I think part of why the U.S. government is investigating your company for alleged monopoly is because of this. ”

The film market is a relatively large market in the United States, and if it is said that a large income of this market has been impacted, the result can be imagined. In the United States, the film market is a little different from the Chinese film market.

The film market in China, generally speaking, is the box office, and the box office almost accounts for ninety percent of the revenue.

What kind of movie peripherals and whatever, it's almost like no one does it. Well, if there is still an additional income, it is some movies that are relatively good, and there will be overseas markets, but such an opportunity is simply too little.

But in the United States, it is different, the income of a movie, the box office is naturally very important, but it is not important, the proportion of the box office of Western movies in the total income was six or seven at the beginning, and now it is basically at the stage of five.

In other words, in the West, if a movie fails at the box office, there is still room to make up for it.

The videotape is naturally the largest piece, and it is not enjoyable to watch it in the cinema, so I bought it back and watched it slowly by myself. For example, Transformers' toy peripherals, Lord of the Rings prop peripherals, Harry Potter book peripherals, etc., are quite marketable.

Not only these, but movie posters, souvenirs, shirts and hats, and even keychains are all ways to make money. Therefore, in the West, whether a film is profitable or not, the box office will not be the decisive factor.

If it is said that the peripherals of a movie are better, then in such a situation, there is no problem with the movie making a profit.

If you want to talk about why there is a model in the West, the key is to say copyright, in the West, copyright is very in place.

For example, if Transformers are in China, then pirated Transformers toys will be like crossing the river. Anyway, what kind of money is made and how pirated is it.

As for piracy, film companies do not have a penny of share.

This is why it is not possible to make money from Huaxia's movies as peripherals, piracy is too powerful. It's not that in the West there is no piracy at all.

Rather, it means that in such a situation, they maintain it better, and whoever does piracy will directly investigate whom, and the government will directly sue you for bankruptcy.

Therefore, the people who like piracy in the West do not say that they do not have it, but they are a relatively small number of people.

Therefore, Ye Ming's impact on film and video tapes has made many people of insight in Hollywood feel a huge threat.

And Morgan Freeman is one of them. Ye Ming thought about it this time, because the question raised by Morgan Freeman was a relatively realistic question, and it was also a relatively sensitive issue.

He thought for a moment before saying, "This matter, in fact, is not a big deal.

Yes, Internet video has a certain impact on videotapes, and not only does it have a certain impact, but at a certain time, it is not impossible for Internet videos to withdraw from the stage of history.

But this is a relatively long period of time, maybe ten or twenty years. However, Internet video, if the conditions are ripe in the future, you can pay to watch it, who wants to watch their favorite movies on the Internet, you can pay, this is also a source of income.

It's like Jackson cooperating with Brilliant Network to put his songs on Brilliant Network for people to download, this download is a paid download, and the movie can be seen as an extension of the current videotape in the future. It costs money to buy a videotape, and it also costs money to download and watch movies in the future. ”

This is a trend, but it is really not too much to be able to see such a trend. And Morgan Freeman was able to see this, which is quite remarkable.

And Ye Ming is talking about some solutions to problems like this, which really gave Morgan Freeman a great inspiration. Even the people at the scene realized that what Ye Ming said, once he said that those movies were the same as the paid downloads of songs on the Internet, they were also paid downloads, and they must also be a huge market.

And this market, at least for now, is in Ye Ming's grasp.

Why Ye Ming has a special status in William Morris Company, this is also Ye Ming's own identity that determines his current status. I just don't know that in the end, the US court will characterize Ye Ming's company as a monopoly.

If so, then in 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......)
