Chapter 373 stepped on
Several people giggled, and finally of course understood that Jing Jian was joking. Maybe because there were too many twists and turns, the members of this crew had a relatively harmonious relationship, and in the end, Lumina and Mai Ting both became long-term spokespersons of the iceberg network, and Jing Jian also gave away 5% of the shares each.
"Bramble, does your iceberg have a future? It won't go out of business in a few years? Lumina said a crow's beak as usual.
Jing Jian smiled: "The iceberg is the future, I suggest that you and Mai Ting hold it for a long time." I don't know if you've heard that I'm buying the rights to a lot of independent films right now?"
"You know, it's all rumored that you're a fool. I'm not so surprised, because you'...... Always a fool. Hee-hee. As she said something deadly, Lumina hid behind Mai Ting.
During this time, Jing Jian invested more than $3 million to buy the rights to 167 previous movies in Hollywood. And these are almost all very ordinary independent films, and after screening, they are basically pressed in the warehouse to eat dust. Now there is Jing Jian, the unjust leader, so in private, it has become a joke in Hollywood. In fact, Hollywood people don't know that Jing Jian's budget for Ding Sheng is $20 million.
"Are you a fool?" Jing Jian winked at Lumina, "These 60 or so movies have an annual copyright income of less than $10,000. Why? Judging from the videotape rental and sales market, the annual demand for each film may only be a few hundred or thousand, so it means that there is none, and there are no rental and sales merchants willing to buy them at all. But what about the future? If the Internet develops, through online sales or on-demand broadcasting, these demands will accumulate and will not be inferior to a blockbuster. You say, can you buy the rights to a blockbuster movie for $3 million? And that's what the Internet does. ”
"Really?" Mai Ting opened her red lips slightly, with an expression that sounded like she was powerful, but she still didn't understand.
"Of course. I will buy the rights not only in Hollywood, but also in Europe, Hong Kong and other places in the future. If...... I'm talking about how much value should I think if my iceberg becomes the definitive repository of movies?"
Jing Jian's series of actions are all seeking the right to speak in the future film market. First-hand cinema chain, first-hand movie-on-demand website, no matter which film company it is, can it not give Jing Jian face?
Of course, the Iceberg Network has bigger ambitions. The on-demand website is just one of the subsidiaries, the future portal, gaming, social, search, ...... There are so many areas that can be developed. Therefore, Lumina and Mai Ting can be said to have taken a big advantage.
By the way, Jing Jian took advantage of the future technological development to give advice to Lumina and Mai Ting: "Lumina, what you do is music." In the future, online music will have a great impact on traditional record sales, and will even wipe out a large number of small record companies that focus on record sales. But for you personally, you are popular, and you are mainly original, so the impact is not very big. I also talk to Billy to try to avoid this risk. But well...... I'm not optimistic about the future of pop. And those big record companies, because there are many copyrights of songs, can have new profit points through on-demand. ”
"Mai Ting, you are the same. The development of special effects has led to actors becoming less and less important, and special effects becoming more and more important. So to grab a series of films, a series, the further you go, the higher the pay. You should understand this, and you won't change the protagonist casually. Also, if you want to manage your finances, you need to cater to this trend of technological development. Or just leave it to me. I promise you'll lose all your money. Hehe. ”
For Jing Jian's advice, Lumina and Mai Ting both attach great importance to it. But the last sentence also won a few white eyes.
"Hello, sorry, don't bother, right?" Suddenly, a stylish handsome Western man appeared.
Liu Parkin introduced Jing Jian: "This is Sir Alston. This is Mr. Bramble. ”
"Hello!" After a polite handshake, Jing Jian kept smiling, very interested in the arrival of Sir Auston. Of course, that's not curiosity, it's certainly not attractive, let alone Lyupakin. It's none other than this Auston, is it Mai Ting or Lumina that he wants to pursue?
"Mr. Bramble, I didn't seem to see you the other day. "I didn't expect Auston to find Jing Jian first.
"I'm in Germany. Jing Jian replied with a smile.
"Is there any news there?" Alston was a little aggressive, like a male peacock who couldn't wait to open the screen.
"The Berlin Wall is still there, waiting for 007. Jing Jian's answer drew a burst of laughter. It is known that 007 is a British agent.
"You have a great sense of humor. Alston smiled, "Unlike the Chinese, I heard that the Chinese are very conservative and old-fashioned." ”
"Huh?" Jing Jian was a little puzzled, it seemed that the person who came was not good? In a social situation, such words were a bit excessive, right? Jing Jian smiled slightly, "You should have a misunderstanding. To find a housekeeper is to find the British, to find a cook to find the Chinese, if it is the other way around, it must be in hell. ”
There was a chuckle all around. In the popular national character, the image of the British happens to be gentlemanly, conservative, stereotyped, and especially the miserable dark cuisine.
In fact, Jing Jian didn't understand that in the media, Lumina is his ex-girlfriend, Mai Ting is his current girlfriend, and this Alston wants to perform, of course he has to step on Jing Jian?
Alston is also quite depressed, his family wealth is very good, he has been wandering in the British entertainment industry in the past, and he is a famous "patron of the arts". And the understanding of Jing Jian is nothing more than directing a movie and playing a small role, which may have a little money. In fact, this is also to blame the media, so far, most of Jing Jian's news is entertainment news, and it is limited to the United States. The fame in Europe is really quite small.
With a roll of his eyes, Auston decided to change the subject: "Mr. Bramble, I don't know if you are used to coming to London this time?"
"Okay, thank you for your concern. ”
"There's a lot of history in London. Financial Street, Fleet Street, Oxford Street...... We have our family-owned company in these places. Alston looked calm, but he couldn't hide the hint of pretense in his eyes.
"I do love the UK. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to invest in the UK. Jing Jian replied with a smile.
"Oh, can you tell us what you want to invest in? securities, futures, insurance? Maybe we can have a place to cooperate. Alston talked about a few industries that he thought he was very high.
"Well, I want to invest in football, football clubs. Jing Jian simply aimed directly at the pride of England - the historic football club.
