Chapter 463: Shaking in the Circle, the Preliminary Plan of the Spark Empire
"Director Lin, do you mean that you will no longer direct movies in two years?"
"May I ask Director Lin, are you going to quit the entertainment industry next?"
"Director Lin, do you mean that this movie "Let the Bullets Fly" will be your last??"
......
Many media reporters exploded, but Lin Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me." β
Speaking of which, the scene calmed down.
Lin Chen continued: "In the past few years, I have started from filming online dramas, then TV series, and then movies, and I have not stopped for a single step in the past few years, so I want to give myself a vacation. β
Then Lin Chen's words changed: "Mainly, everyone knows that I haven't even found a girlfriend when I'm filming now." β
One sentence caused the scene to laugh wildly.
"I think that's the right reason to stop shadowing. β
"Haha, it means laughing, but this reason is really powerful. β
"That's right, it's quite powerful, and it's speechless. β
......
The celebration banquet came to an end with a discussion.
Later, the media also reported on it.
"Let the Bullets Fly" held a 2 billion celebration banquet in Beijing, and Lin Chen appeared with a group of leading actors!"
"Heavy, at the celebration banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly", Lin Chen announced that he would no longer direct movies for the time being!"
"At the celebration banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly", Lin Chen announced that he would no longer direct movies within two years!"
......
All of a sudden, the media reported.
Later, Lin Chen's withdrawal from the director's circle also landed on the hot search list.
"Damn, what kind of operation is this???"
"Nima, I don't even direct movies anymore???"
"Isn't this Lin Chen still thinking about going further? Why is this suddenly not directing a movie?"
"I think it's right, damn, don't say anything else, Lin Chen has been single for so long. β
"Didn't you say that Lin Chen and Tong Qing had a good feeling?"
"Don't think about it, Lin Chen and Tong Qing have always been friends. β
"That's right, Lin Chen seems to have said that he won't look for people in the circle. β
......
At this time, many discussions were also on the hot search list.
As for Luo Qing, when he learned the news, he was not happy, but angry.
"Damn, how can Lin Chen withdraw from the circle?
Luo Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so angry." β
Luo Hai on the side said speechlessly: "Why are you angry? Without Lin Chen, we can't just not have to face him next time, and our next movie box office may be able to go further." β
"Brother, you don't understand. β
Luo Qing shook his head slightly: "I regard Lin Chen as my opponent, what you said before is right, I did go too smoothly, so I need an opponent, there is no shame in losing, because I dare to show my sword, but now? Lin Chen will no longer direct in two years, who do I want to fight with at this time?"
"He just said that he would not direct for two years. β
Luo Hai thought for a while and said, "So what do you have to worry about? In the past two years, you will increase your directing ability, and you will fight again in two years, what a big deal." β
Luo Qing: ......"
......
At this moment, not only Luo Qing, but also many directors in the industry were puzzled.
When Lu Wei learned the news, he also called Lin Chen as soon as possible: "Director Lin, are you serious?"
Lin Chen smiled: "Yes." β
"Why? β
Lu Wei didn't understand: ""Let the Bullets Fly" can finally maintain a box office between 2.3 billion and 2.4 billion at present, this box office can completely allow you to go further, as long as you continue to maintain such a strong next movie, then you can almost become one of the top directors, why stop at this time?"
Lin Chen understood Lu Wei's kindness, so he also told the truth: "I just want to take a break, I've been in a hurry in recent years, and there are many things I haven't thought through, besides, if I want to be among the top directors, then when can I do it." β
In a word, it also made Lu Wei silent.
This Lin Chen is indeed quite confident.
It's as easy as it is to be among the top directors.
But think again.
Isn't that the fucking truth?
It is very easy for Lin Chen to become a top director.
So, Lu Wei didn't persuade either: "Okay, since you have a score in your heart, but I hope you can make a cameo appearance in the next play." β
"I've read the script. β
Lin Chen said: "I may play some supporting roles in the future, and by the way, I will exercise my own acting skills." β
This is also one of Lin Chen's plans.
He said that he would not direct the film for the time being.
But this doesn't mean that Lin Chen won't act.
And for Lin Chen, the gap between him now is still quite big, when watching the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" on the big screen, Lin Chen felt that the character of Hu Wan still had a lot of room to play.
But Lin Chen didn't do a good job after all.
As a result, he needs to spend two years honing his acting skills.
It's a long time coming.
Lin Chen had enough time.
This is also what Lin Chen pondered this year.
Sometimes why bother to do something in a hurry?
Lu Xun also said that slow work makes meticulous work.
Of course, this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
What Lin Chen needs now is to re-plan Xinghuo Film and Television.
There is so much to do.
What Xinghuo Film and Television needs next is to attack on all fronts.
Expansion of the army.
Hiring.
Today is the meeting that is going to take place.
At the meeting, there were already 20 people at the middle level, large and small.
But that's not enough.
Therefore, Lin Chen coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's talk about it." β
Yuan Ye answered: "Director Lin, I think your idea is good, I think it is feasible to invest in a video website, after all, we have a wide range of resources, but this is too expensive, a video website is not difficult, the difficult thing is the introduction of copyright, which is not worth billions of dollars at all, not to mention that the current video website does not lose billions of dollars a year, it is not normal......"
This Lin Chen understands.
The original time and space,The three video websites are really burning money more than one another,When LeTV didn't fall yet,The loss was almost 10 billion,But they still keep burning money,In order to grab the futureγ
The future is an era where users are king.
At this time, Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to build a website by myself. β
"Huh?"
Yuan Ye was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Pomodoro Video!"
Lin Chen said lightly: "As far as I know, the tomato video in the past two years doesn't seem to be very good. β
"It's not just bad. β
Shi Erzheng, who was on the side, continued: "After the eight major film and television giants increased their investment in video websites, Xiaolu, Penguin, and Panda are showing a strong trend, and as for corn, they are combined with Wheat Video, and they are controlled by Imperial Capital Film and Television, so Tomato Video is also in full swing!"
"Yes, the main reason is that Tomato Video's self-made variety shows, film and television dramas have not had much repercussions, so the competitiveness is greatly reduced. β
This is one thing, and on the other hand, it was a strategic mistake by CEO Ye Jing the year before last. β
"Yes, it was almost cold at the time, I remember that the year before last, 'Motian Entertainment' wanted to buy the tomato website at a price of 600 million, but Ye Jing refused, and then there was a video rectification incident, which shrank to 100 million all of a sudden, but no one was willing to take over. β
......
Everyone talked about this matter, which was also used as a negative example in the industry.
The year before last, when the video was rectified, other websites responded in a timely manner, but Ye Jing was in the form of a misjudgment, resulting in an untimely response in 10 days.
And that's what it ended up being.
This is also Lin Chen's plan.
In any case, tomatoes were also influential at the beginning, and the most important thing about today's tomatoes is that there are not enough resources and independent development, but this aspect is not a problem for Lin Chen.
Because he doesn't lack resources in his head.
"Yuan Ye, you are responsible for talking to Ye Jingcha about this matter. β
Lin Chen directly made a decision.
Yuan Ye nodded lightly, indicating that there was no problem.
Later on to the second thing.
"What happened to the two movies "Nightclub" and "Get My Father-in-law"??"
Lin Chen asked the person in charge of the film department.
The person in charge of the film department is called Zhao Lei, who was dug by Yuan Ye in another company, and his work efficiency is quite good, he also hurriedly said when he heard Lin Chen's question: "It's already coming to an end, as for the filming of "Nightclub", it will be completed soon." β
"Good. β
Lin Chen nodded lightly: "Mr. Zhao, you follow up a little more in this regard, these two films will solve some of our next funding problems." β
Spark Film and Television will be short of money this year.
First of all, you have to buy a building, and Yuan Ye also fell in love with two buildings in this regard, but the price can be quite high, and such a price is unbearable with the appetite of Xinghuo Film and Television.
Therefore, it was finally decided to buy a building for the transition first.
Then buy a piece of land, Lin Chen is going to build a Spark Mansion, and he is going to build a Spark Empire in the future.
Of course, that's all for later.
Even if you buy a transitional building, I'm afraid it will take more than 1.5 billion.
At present, "Let the Bullets Fly" is still being released in theaters, but I am afraid that the profit of this movie will be less than 700 million in the end, after all, this movie is cooperated by Ma Rufei.
In this way, I am afraid that Xinghuo Media will be stretched.
But the family is still there.
And although Lin Chen is no longer directing, the action of Xinghuo Film and Television this year cannot be stopped.
Building, is definitely going to buy.
At the same time, there is also the cinema chain.
The most important reason why the Eight Major Film and Television are the Eight Major Film and Television is that they have their own cinema chain, which can choke the throat of other film and television companies at critical moments.
That's confidence.
The current Spark Media has passed the initial stage, and at this time, no matter how low-key you are, it is useless.
Others will only think that you are continuing to pretend.
In that case, let's buy a cinema chain.
"Look at this aspect more. β
Lin Chen said: "If you find a suitable theater, buy it." β
"Mr. Lin. β
Yuan Ye smiled bitterly: "If we want to buy Tomato Video, I'm afraid we can't get it for less than 150 million, and if we want to buy a building, I'm afraid we can't get it for less than 1.5 billion, not to mention that we still have to recruit troops and buy horses, and we have to invest in new movies and new TV series, so where does the money come from?"
"Don't worry about money. β
Lin Chen waved his hand slightly: ""Nightclub" and "Get My Father-in-law" should be released soon, not to mention that the TV series "Love is Scattered" has been post-produced, and you can also take back the money from the TV station first." β
Speaking of this, Lin Chen also suddenly remembered that he had a small goal, so he said to Yuan Ye: "And you pay attention to see if we can buy the TV station through a little operation?"
"What ???"
Yuan Ye almost knelt down: "Mr. Lin, do you still want to buy a TV station?"
"Yes, if we buy the TV station, then we have more room to operate. β
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said.
The rest of the room didn't know what to say.
My boss's idea is always like that, so unique.
This is again the acquisition of video sites.
It's buying a house again.
It's buying a theater again.
It's time to buy a TV station again.
It's not easy to do.
But who made Lin Chen the boss.
Since that's been said.
Just do it.
However, Lin Chen didn't put too much pressure on everyone, he smiled: "This is our two-year plan, which means that we can complete these things within two years." β
Yuan Ye secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
Hugh said that it has been two years, and even five years is probably difficult to complete.
But since Lin Chen has already said it, then don't say anything else.
Just do it.
The tone was set.
Next, all departments need to take action.
In the TV series, two more TV series will be launched this year.
In the TV section, in addition to "Nightclub" and "Don't Talk to Strangers", Lin Chen also decided to launch two more movies, which are still small productions.
For animation, the IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is almost developed, so Lin Chen decided to make two more phenomenal cartoons to seize the market and make money.
As for the movie, it is naturally going to make a movie.
These are the goals set for 2020 today.
Lin Chen clapped his hands and said: "Okay, after the departments go back, they will tell everyone about today's things and tell everyone that if the task is completed this year, I will give everyone a surprise at the end of the year." β
One sentence shocked everyone.
After all, the treatment of Xinghuo Film and Television is the best in the industry, especially every year-end bonus is a record.
As a result, now Lin Chen said that if the task is completed, there will be surprises this year.
That's where the motivation comes in.
Lin Chen always believes that the best motivation is to give money.
At all times, money is the most straightforward method.
Love him and spend money on him.
Care for him and spend money on him.
Wait.
Eighty percent of the world's problems can be solved with money, and sometimes if it can't be solved, it may be because there is not enough money.
After everyone left, Lin Chen also chatted with Yuan Ye again, and then it was a viewing meeting about the TV series "Love Is Scattered".
"You can directly invite major TV stations to watch the film. β
Lin Chen said: "At present, we don't need to worry about no one wanting this drama, it's CCTV, this time we have to see if the money they give is enough." β
