695. The difference between the distant group and the Ibex
Matsuura Katsuto is so domineering, his domineering is not the kind of domineering that is exposed, not the kind of domineering that no one is looking at, but a very low-key domineering that unconsciously controls the lifeblood of the company.
This is also a problem that most entertainment companies have to face.
This situation has long been common in the global entertainment industry, entertainment companies need stars, but once the stars are cultivated to become famous, it is inevitable that there will be a big tail.
Especially popular artists, a brother and a sister in various companies, even if they don't have company shares, within the company, the rights are quite huge. Usually, you may not be able to see that a storm of contract termination at a critical moment has a great impact on entertainment companies, with stock turbulence and evaporation of market value at every turn, so many entertainment companies later imposed various restrictions on their artists. But it's actually useless, because this is the unsolvable problem, the most fundamental contradiction that exists between entertainment companies and artists.
It's like Zhou Fangyuan's company, his company is not listed now, but once it is listed, this kind of problem also exists. Although he turned his head and any artist did such a thing to him, he could use the resources in his hands to block the other party, but before blocking the other party, the other party could definitely affect the stock price of his own company and cause a loss of market value. He didn't have any good way to solve it, but tried to avoid this kind of thing from happening.
Aibex tasted such pain this time, Bing Qi made a fuss, and other artists followed in large numbers, the result is as mentioned before, the stock price fell by 10%, and the former chairman and president of Tatsumi Yida retired as honorary president, and Toshio Kobayashi served as general manager. Katsuto Matsuura, who was supposed to drive away, came back with nothing to do. This is the power of stars, compared with capital, stars are indeed nothing, but before the power of capital occurs, stars can rely on their influence to influence capital. It doesn't matter how big or small, it always makes a difference.
Of course, this kind of situation also depends on the situation, Aibecks is powerful, but the content they cover is too simple, they are basically only involved in the field of music, and they are not involved in other fields. Of course, other areas of the entertainment industry are not so easy to get involved in, just like making movies and TV series, the water is very deep inside, how can Zhou Fangyuan's Yuanfang Media stand on its feet? On the one hand, they have money, yes, most entertainment companies actually have no money, of course, it is not that they can't make money, nor that they are poor, but that they make money definitely not as fast and fierce as everyone thinks, after all, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the cost of their own investment is not small, and they have to be prepared to lose money, so even if it is Huayi, the liquidity is very limited.
Not to mention other companies, some companies also take out loans to shoot, but it is conceivable that there are actually a lot of poor people in this glamorous circle. But this does not include the Yuanfang Group, all the movies and TV series filmed by the Yuanfang Group are directly cashed out by them, let's put it this way, the entertainment industry is the capital circle, and only with money can you have fun, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, there are five yuan in your pocket, even if you have the best script in the world, it is useless. Money comes first.
The second is the relationship, why did Zhou Fangyuan let Sun Jing be the general manager of Yuanfang Entertainment, and constantly increased her shareholdings? Not to mention the private relationship between the two, Sun Jing's biggest role is the network in the entertainment industry, she once worked as a senior official in an entertainment company, although it was not for a long time, but she did know many people. In this circle, the first thing is money, and the second is connections, you have to have connections to find the right director, screenwriter, actor and crew, this kind of thing can't be done without connections.
Again, there is the problem of channels.
In terms of TV, there are actually no channels for distant entertainment, except for the part of online broadcasting, the TV station is not under his control, all the current cooperation with the TV station, that is really cooperation, the TV station is the TV station, the entertainment company is the entertainment company, but in the field of film, the Yuanfang Cinema Line, a subsidiary of the Yuanfang Group, after intense construction, now has 120 theaters in the country, on average, a theater has more than seven screens less than eight screens, all of which add up to more than 800 screens, not more than 1,000. In China, it is still at the younger brother level, and there are many theaters larger than the distant cinema line, but Zhou Fangyuan plans to make the distant cinema line have at least 5,000 screens in the next five to ten years, although there is still a gap with Wanda's more than 10,000 screens, but to shorten this gap.
That's the channel.
What controls the downstream of the entertainment industry is the channel.
The movie screen is just an example, there are many types of channels, cinema lines are channels, TV programs are channels, magazines and newspapers are channels, and the Internet is channels.
Yuanfang Group now owns Yuanfang Cinemas, and owns Internet channels such as Yuanfang Video, Yuanfang Music and Yuanfang Weibo. Capital plus channels, so he can have fun in the entertainment industry. Of course, if you want to approve the qualifications of a theater and stabilize your position in the entertainment industry, the forces behind it cannot be ignored. In this regard, Zhou Fangyuan is all thanks to Professor Tian, if there is no Professor Tian, then everything is false. Zhou Fangyuan's start and early rise completely relied on Professor Tian's help, and without Professor Tian's help, it is estimated that he would have to extend the time for another five to ten years if he wants to achieve today's success.
Far away, in short, the power of artists is huge, because they are public figures, representing the sight of most people, and their every move can attract the attention of many people. However, compared with capital, celebrities are still nothing, why was Ibex "kidnapped" by stars such as Bing Qibu? In the final analysis, Ibex's channels are too poor. But it can't be blamed, Fuso has developed to the present day, the market has long been saturated, and the class has long been solidified. As the only developed country in Asia today, it is undeniable that Fuso is developing quite well in various fields, and the entertainment industry is like this.
There are countless books of large and small entertainment companies, so those channels have also been controlled by major consortia, and Aibex is still a younger brother in the end, although he is not famous in the entertainment industry, but then again, he has not mastered the capital, nor has he mastered the channels, he can only work hard in the midstream, the foundation is too shallow, and as soon as he tosses it, he immediately makes Aibex unbearable. What makes them even more unbearable is what if Bing Qibu is really poached by other big companies? Of course, there is another reason for this, the reason why Ibex cannot take root, is because the market is too small, the competition is too fierce, and there is no room for them.
But Huaxia is different, the market in Huaxia is too big, and now it is starting to be redeveloped, and there are too many blank spaces. To be honest, if the market in Huaxia develops to the extent of Fusang, there is no problem in raising a hundred such companies, and how many companies like Aibex are there in Fusang.
Zhou Fangyuan just caught up with the relatively blank period of the market to enter the market, with funds, he was able to start; Professor Arita, he can get support; with works, he can make a name for himself, and then with the help of capital, support and fame, take root in the entertainment industry, in mastering upstream colleagues, mastering downstream channels, especially in terms of channels, when Zhou Fangyuan started, private capital did not enter much, and it was not easy to enter. Then this opportunity, Yuanfang Group will take root and take advantage of the trend to master the upstream and downstream, so is it still a problem for the midstream entertainment company to take it down?
So what Aibex is worried about, in fact, Zhou Fangyuan is not very worried, of course, if the subsidiaries of Yuanfang Group in the future, especially Yuanfang Media, are listed, celebrity toss can indeed affect the company's stock price. But he believes that no celebrity will fall out with the distant media without opening his eyes, and even if he falls out, he will fall out in private and make it widely known, he doesn't believe that anyone has such courage. Again, mastering the upstream and downstream at the same time is tantamount to strangling all the ways out for some people. Once tossed, at the capital level, all investment will be completely cut off, and in terms of channels, a comprehensive ban and public opinion guidance will be carried out, just like Xuan and Xingru, is their life good now? Not to mention income and material aspects, under the fence, they are obviously big stars, but they don't even have the ability to resist in front of Zhou Fangyuan, a young man, are they willing in their hearts?
Of course I was not willing.
But why don't they dare to resist? This is the embodiment of mastering the upstream and downstream.
If they rush to fight with Zhou Fangyuan, Zhou Fangyuan can block them, not only that, but also lead public opinion to destroy their fame, at the capital level, stop all investment in them, and prohibit others from investing in them. I believe that other capitals will not be willing to take the risk of offending Zhou Fangyuan to invest in two stars who may be out of fashion at any time, not to mention that they may be out of fashion at any time, even if they are still popular, what can they do? Who dares to say anything? There is a question of whether it is worth it or not.
fell out with the distant group, and the result? Just for the sake of two stars?
It is not excluded that there are such stupid things, but most successful people will not do such stupid things.
So Zhou Fangyuan is very comfortable, he doesn't have any worries about this at all, he just needs to continue to strengthen his operation in the channel. And having said that, don't say anything else, let's just say that Zhou Fangyuan is now tossing things abroad, who doesn't see it? As a shareholder of Marvel and Disney, Zhou Fangyuan has a huge advantage in IP development and IP inventory. His company has now entered the North American market, and today's Chinese market, it must be admitted that the film market, especially the film market, is really inferior to North America.
Not to mention now, even after more than ten years, when the domestic film market has surpassed the North American film market, Hollywood's position in the global world is also irreplaceable, and countless people around the world dream of entering the North American film market every day, but how many people's efforts have failed, why? Many reasons, I will not repeat them here. But it must be admitted that it is very difficult for domestic stars to break into the European and American markets and become real international superstars.
Jackie Chan is amazing, how many years did it take him to gain a foothold in the European and American markets?
Jet Li is not powerful, didn't he just make people ostracize and discriminate against when the country was developing?
If you want to say that the smoothest may be Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee's situation is difficult to replicate. At that time, European and American action movies still played the most old-fashioned routines, you punch me and I punch, rigid, sluggish, Bruce Lee's actions were widely welcomed in North America at that time, which is what today's stars want to do but can't do at all. Especially since the decline of the film industry, countless action masters have moved to North America, and the action of North American movies has become more and more beautiful, and it is no less than that in China.
Even if you have money, what can you do if the rich don't take you to play? Engage in independent films? It will be even more ridiculous; looking at North American film and television, how many independent films can succeed? Movies will always be the toys of big conglomerates, and independent films are just a fig leaf to put it bluntly, and it is absolutely impossible to expect them to become the mainstream.
Zhou Fangyuan's other advantage is here, he has channels in North America.
Why did he take a stake in Disney? Many people in China have actually been analyzing his behavior.
It is true that Disney is a master of IP operation, and they are also the top in the world, while Marvel has a large number of IP reserves, and the success of previous superhero movies has brought them a lot of sweetness. But in the final analysis, the reason why Yuanfang Group took a stake in Disney was not for Disney's operational capabilities, but for Disney's channel capabilities.
Disney's theater chain is the most important thing. Foreigners want to get a theater in North America, not to mention the money, policy problems can keep people out of the door, the consortium in the United States is generally much stronger than the domestic one, and people will not want you foreigners to come over to grab food, so if you want to explore the tentacles into North America, the only way is to buy theaters, Disney has its own theater chain, which is what Zhou Fangyuan must start. Everything else can be put aside, and if you want to really enter the North American market, the only way is to take the theater chain directly. Zhou Fangyuan succeeded, so now he not only controls the channels in China, but also opens up foreign channels.
Everyone has dreams, everyone wants to succeed, especially celebrities, after enjoying a life that ordinary people can't enjoy, of course they want to go further. Especially for those stars who want to go abroad, the current options can be said to be very few. The Yuanfang Group can currently provide such a channel, so the people who dare to offend him...... can only hehe, Xingru and Ruxuan don't dare to resist, the reason is here, they also want to go further, and they don't want to be completely blocked, so they have to curry favor with Zhou Fangyuan.
At this point, Aibex does not have such an ability at all, they can let Bing Qibu threaten, but the distant group will not be threatened by a certain star, dare to threaten the star of the distant group, needless to say, be ready to cut off the road of acting from now on. 2k reading web
