Chapter 1123 Throwing Money Doesn't Equal Being Stupid
After being reincarnated and reborn, Yin Jun's identity is different, his vision is different, and the aspects of thinking about the problem are naturally different.
In his previous life, Yin Jun did things, and the most important thing was to make the magazines required by the boss as fine as possible on the basis of cost savings, and then save the money so that it could be kept for backup in the future.
But now that Yin Jun is running his own company, he feels that when he first started to fight the country, it was not a good choice to use money to smash a road.
For example, when Yin Jun was working on "Qilin Daily", if it wasn't for the direct and decisive newspaper for free, and the daily publication of 300,000 copies in one go, how could he defeat those veteran newspapers that have been working for decades in just two years and become the most influential newspaper in Xiangjiang with the highest market share?
Others only saw the success of "Kirin Daily", but they didn't see that Yin Jun had to bear a huge loss of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars every month, and even now, he has not made a profit, and he can only barely maintain his capital, and he will continue to lose money from time to time.
You know, that's a loss of tens of millions a month since 1979.
At that time, there were only more than 600 houses per square foot in Xiangjiang.
What now?
It's more than 1,200 now, which has doubled!
If Yin Jun used the money from these subsidies to buy a house, he would have earned hundreds of millions by now!
But there are some things that cannot be measured by money.
Another example is this "Qilin Daily", how can the power it now exert in the Xiangjiang and Aomen areas be comparable to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars?
It is precisely because of such a sharp tool of propaganda media that what Yin Jun wants to express and convey can be quickly known by the people of Xiangjiang, and the people of Xiangjiang, who are accustomed to "Qilin Daily", can easily accept what Yin Jun wants to convey to them.
Even the Xiangjiang government did not dare to ignore Yin Jun's influence in the media, as long as their basic laws remained unchanged, then no matter how much they suppressed Yin Jun, who was leaning on the mainland, Yin Jun would have a way to fight back against them.
For them, the media is also a double-edged sword, if they can offend a media tycoon like Yin Jun, naturally they will not deliberately offend.
After gaining experience and benefits from "Kirin Daily", Yin Jun also used this method to buy Disney and United Arts Film Company in the United States, directly using money to smash them to sell their shares willingly.
Others laughed at Yin Jun for being stupid and having a lot of money, spending more than 30% higher than the market price to buy two promising companies, but only Yin Jun knew that if you missed this opportunity and wanted to buy these two companies, you wouldn't even think about it.
As long as it is something you need, it is much better to spend so much money to buy it than to spend money to buy it.
Isn't that the case for later generations of Chinese enterprises?
With a lot of dollars, they can't buy the company they want, and people in the United States and the European Union just say, "We don't sell!"
Now it's Yin Jun's turn to make a name for himself as a film entertainment group, and it is definitely not enough to rely solely on commercial blockbusters, so Yin Jun immediately began to arrange literary films, which can also be said to be the production of award films.
The delicate Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia went to produce "Mother and Daughter Love", Yin Jun himself specialized in "The Shawshank Redemption", and then the whole Disney poured out to produce "The Lion King", which of course should not be underestimated.
Next year, in addition to "Forrest Gump", the treasure of the town, Yin Jun will also come up with two or three more Oscar-level movies, bombarding major film awards in turn, so that everyone can see that the movies produced by Kirin Films can not only achieve a bumper harvest at the box office, but also have artistic precipitation, and have been praised by many experts.
Originally, the Kirin movie started late, and if it wasn't so indiscriminately bombarded, it wouldn't be able to rise within three or five years, which would be meaningless.
After all, in Yin Jun's view, the most dangerous thing about his business in Xiangjiang is a few years after 85 years, when all kinds of changes are possible, if you can't grasp the powerful media power and gain a firm foothold, it is likely to be suppressed.
As long as you become a media and entertainment tycoon in the United States and have a global reputation, you can avoid being squeezed into your living space.
In this regard, Yin Jun has a good predecessor as an example.
Mr. Abu of Russia.
Originally, Abu was all kinds of kneeling and licking the Tsar, but the Tsar still seemed to have the intention of not letting him go, so Abu simply bought Chelsea Club in the United Kingdom, and quickly made it a giant by throwing money at it, and then with Chelsea Club, he successfully became one of the famous nobles in the United Kingdom, thus adding a great guarantee to himself, and finally avoiding becoming a knife under the iron fist of the Tsar.
The governor of Xiangjiang and the British government are certainly not as strong as the Tsar, and the media group in the United States created by Yin Jun must be far superior to Chelsea, so with this layer of protection, Yin Jun should be more stable than Mr. Abu.
Of course, it's too early to say these things.
Anyway, Yin Jun hasn't even bought ABC TV, which is in Disney's pocket.
Oh, speaking of ABC TV, in January, they had already launched "Hook Detective", and due to the good publicity and foreshadowing, the audience was very high at the beginning, directly reaching more than 10 million people.
In mid-February, the number of viewers has stabilized at around 25 million.
With such a result, in this period, it is also firmly ranked in the top ten in the United States, and this is the first part of the first season, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, ABC has no reason not to be satisfied.
The Disney TV channel's "Happy Hotel" still maintains a super high popularity, although it was pressed by the average 80 million viewers of "Wind x Doctor x Nurse", which was launched in December, but it has steadily exceeded 50 million, very close to the 55 million viewership, which still makes people feel like a mountain.
Because "Wind x Doctor x Nurse" has been broadcast for many seasons, it has today's grand occasion, and the first season of "Happy Hotel" has not yet ended.
Even the most conservative reviewers estimate the final episode of the first quarter of "Happy Hotel" in April at around 62 million.
With such an extraordinary result, the production of the second season is already a sure thing, even because the actors of "Happy Hotel" have signed a contract for this drama for more than fifteen years, which is completely binding, but the production cost of the second season will inevitably increase, and the salary of a few hundred dollars per episode is far from enough.
According to Tang Shuxuan's report to Yin Jun, the salary in the second season will at least triple, that is, the production cost will reach around $200,000 per episode.
But that's nothing compared to the super-profits that "Happy Hotel" generated for the Disney TV channel. โโAfter the turn of the year, this advertising fee has become a sky-high price of 300,000 US dollars in 30 seconds, ranking fourth in the advertising cost of TV dramas in the United States!
It's not that Disney is unwilling to give them a salary increase, but "Happy Hotel" is obviously going to be filmed for more than ten seasons, if it rises so high at the beginning, how will it balance the production fee in the future?
Advertising costs won't rise forever, and if the compensation system completely destroys the balance, then no matter how popular "Happy Hotel" is, it will still have to be cut and no longer produced.
Recently, Yin Jun gave Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi "The X-Files", isn't it because of the production cost of up to $4 million per episode, which Fox can't afford to bear for 24 episodes, so he no longer produces it?
Most of the actors of "Happy Hotel" are also very satisfied with the second season of the crew's continuation and the upcoming increase in their salaries.
First, because they have been on the street for many years, they have tasted the pain of not becoming famous, and now "Happy Hotel" has made them famous in one fell swoop, of course they are very grateful.
Second, the salary in today's film and TV market is not so exaggerated, unlike the sky-high price of $100 million for a movie and $1 million for a TV series in the future.
There are a lot of actors in their TV dramas who only get a basic salary a month, and it is a good thing to be able to increase the price twice in the next season and enter the middle-income class all of a sudden.
Not all the actors think it's good, but now, no one dares to stand up and say how much more salary they want to raise.
After all, no matter how popular "Happy Hotel" is, it does not rely on one or two people to support this TV series, but on the strength of the group and the stories that happen in this bar to support its connotation.
In this case, even the boss can be replaced, not to mention the waiters and guests inside.
Anyone with a little brain will know about this.
If you don't want to have a great future, but insist on a high salary, then the screenwriter will just ignore your role and let you not appear again in the second season, how simple it is!
Who has the most to lose?
It's definitely only the actors themselves!
You don't take this opportunity to star in more dramas, appear in a few more seasons, consolidate your fame and prestige, so that you can prepare for starring in other TV series or movies in the future, but ponder those things that are not realistic, so how stupid do you have to do this?
Therefore, when the actors and production staff have begun to be in place and are ready to shoot the second season of "Happy Hotel", the crew has not encountered anything bloody, everything is in the plan.
This also reflects the control of the Kirin Group over the TV drama crew, just like Yin Jun did in Xiangjiang.
In this world, whoever has the most important resources can have the greatest right to speak!!
