Chapter 447: Poor
As soon as Yang Ming thought of the idea of the movie review website, he immediately came to his senses, and his sleepiness disappeared, and he said, "Mingqiu, are you interested in us partnering to build a website?"
"Ah, Yang Da, you also want to invest in the Internet?" Hua Mingqiu said with a wink.
The current Internet in this world, just like this time in the previous life, is in an extremely hot investment state, and all Internet companies are very popular among shareholders as long as they are packaged and listed.
Although Yang Ming is not familiar with finance, the impression of the Internet bubble around 2000 in his previous life is still relatively profound.
Although this world has changed due to the changes in Chinese history, compared with the previous life, all the history has changed beyond recognition, Yang Ming still feels that there is a big problem with the Internet industry in this world.
Just like in previous lives, all the Internet stocks in this world are too hot, and only God knows when this bubble will burst.
When Yang Ming heard Hua Mingqiu's question, he naturally knew what he meant, and Hua Mingqiu also thought that Yang Ming saw that the Internet industry was booming and wanted to invest and make a profit!
"I don't think it's an investment. Yang Ming was silent for a moment, then shook his head and whispered, "I just want to do a career related to films!"
"Movie website?" Hua Mingqiu asked suspiciously,
Immediately, Yang Ming briefly explained the model of various film review websites in his previous life to Hua Mingqiu.
Netizens commented on the scoring after watching the movie, and various restrictions on commenting, especially the group purchase of movies in the previous life, the selection of seats on mobile phones, and then the process of directly collecting tickets in the theater, Yang Ming mentioned it to Hua Mingqiu.
Hua Mingqiu listened to Yang Ming's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and when Yang Ming said that he used the combination of the PC website and the mobile APP to use a promotion to sell movie tickets and be able to select seats online, he patted the handrail excitedly and said: "Yang Da, your idea is really great." ”
"In the back, can you be quieter? ”
At this time, the passenger in the front seat suddenly turned around and protested to Yang Ming and Hua Mingqiu.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry. Yang Ming immediately greeted him and said, he went out today to make some simple disguises, with a black-framed eye, and basically no one recognized him.
After apologizing, Yang Ming immediately raised his index finger and made a 'shhh' gesture to Hua Mingqiu.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that this idea will be heard by others!" Hua Mingqiu snorted unconvinced.
In fact, when Yang Ming was talking about this idea just now, he had already lowered his voice, and it was impossible for the people in front to hear it clearly, if it wasn't for Hua Mingqiu who was excited and shouted excitedly, it would not have attracted protests from the front at all.
"Yang Da, you go on. Hua Mingqiu looked at Yang Ming with admiration, not noticing that his words and deeds had affected the other passengers.
Although Yang Ming is younger than Hua Mingqiu, his life experience is much more mature than Hua Mingqiu, and then he deliberately lowered his voice and chatted with Hua Mingqiu in a low voice.
In this way, the two of them chatted all the way about Yang Ming's film review website and mobile APP, as well as the idea of group buying.
When the plane arrived over Fuzhou, Hua Mingqiu smacked his lips unfinished before stopping the discussion with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also said that his mouth was dry, and when he got off the plane, the three of them called a taxi and sent them to the hotel to rest first.
It's just that Hua Mingqiu, who was originally going to follow Hua Xiaoyue to chase stars, after arriving at the hotel, he hid in his room, used his portable notebook to surf the Internet, and began to discuss with his friends the idea he had just determined with Yang Ming on the plane.
Time.com!
A place to look up movie information and write reviews to discuss movies. Not a place to watch and download movies for free. In the future, it will develop into the most authoritative movie information and review in China!
At the same time, Yang Ming is also preparing to develop a mobile phone APP, carry out film group buying activities, and realize the function of online seat selection and theater self-collection.
As long as the time network is established, it will have a strong impact on the traditional sales of movie tickets.
Yang Ming was in the hotel room, holding a pen and writing down the various establishment processes and rules for Time.com in his mind.
Originally, he was only going to take this platform of online movie public opinion into his own hands, and use the word-of-mouth effect to expand the influence of his films.
Yang Ming knows very well in his heart that a movie is not a simple process of shooting and then releasing it.
After nearly 100 years of development, the world film industry has slowly become a game of capital, and the miracle of obtaining a big box office at a small cost has been staged repeatedly, but the classics in Yang Ming's mind will always be used up one day, so then you will have to rely on real skills to eat.
If it does not establish its own power before this, Oriental DreamWorks will definitely be eaten by those capital predators and giant companies without even scum.
The division of interests in the film industry has long formed an inherent pattern, and with Yang Ming's identity without a background, it is difficult to get a voice in it, it is simply an impossible thing.
Therefore, he can only find another way now and get a voice that belongs to him and belongs to Oriental DreamWorks.
The new type of Internet provides Yang Ming with this opportunity.
In particular, the project of film group buying, once made, will definitely have a strong impact on traditional film sales.
The same is true in the previous life, after 2010, the box office of domestic films has repeatedly exceeded 100 million, and online group buying has contributed at least 60% of the box office sales share, and group buying can be said to be indispensable.
As a result, as movie ticket group buying forms a habit, this share will be further expanded.
Especially later, with the advantages of online seat selection and going to the theater by yourself to get tickets directly without queuing, this movie ticket group purchase model has become the preferred way for young people to watch movies and buy tickets.
Yang Ming can fully imagine that as long as he makes Time.com, uses the group purchase model, develops the function of online seat selection and self-collection of tickets in the theater, and occupies the user's PC and client, will those cinema companies in Huaxia refuse to release his movies in their theaters?
As long as Yang Ming thought of taking this channel into his own hands, he felt excited, it was so exciting.
From the beginning of the filming to the final release of the movie, all channels are no longer controlled and threatened by others, especially the combination of popcorn and time.com, which will be an absolute weapon for the promotion and word-of-mouth marketing of the film.
However, the biggest problem facing Yang Ming now is the problem of money!
"I'm still poor!" Yang Ming looked at the plan full of words in the notebook and muttered in his mouth.
If his words were heard by other film directors, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!
A movie that costs less than 10 million will get a box office of 500 million, excluding the theater share and taxes, Oriental DreamWorks can get at least 200 million in revenue.
200 million in cash, is it still called lack of money?
In fact, Yang Ming is really short of money, his current stall is too big, no matter which project, he is now crazy about throwing money.
Phoenix TV, Popcorn Network, Network Electronics Company, Oriental DreamWorks, Donghai Cinema Line, Oriental Huayin, and Time Network to be established!
All of his industries have not yet entered the stage of stable profits.
Among them, Oriental DreamWorks is the largest part of Yang Ming's current income, and Oriental Huayin invests relatively little, but the income is also small.
And popcorn network, Phoenix TV, and network power company, although they have been able to make profits, but these three companies are currently in a period of crazy expansion, and all the profitable money must be smashed into it to continue to expand their market share!
Donghai Cinema Line has just been acquired by Yang Ming, and he has become the largest shareholder, but Donghai Cinema Line is originally in a state of breakeven, and it is unrealistic for Yang Ming to make money from this cinema company.
Moreover, even if the Donghai Cinema Line is profitable, Yang Ming will not choose to pay dividends, he will continue to increase the construction of the cinema and expand the number of screens in the Donghai Cinema Line.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Ming used the shares of Phoenix TV and Netpower Company to mortgage and borrow 1 billion cash from Redwood Fund, he would not have been able to come up with the money to acquire the shares of Donghai Cinema Line.
Now Yang Ming is going to spend money to establish Time.com, which will definitely require a lot of cash to make an upfront investment, even if "My Sassy Girlfriend" gets a box office of 500 million, it will be a drop in the bucket for him, because there are too many places where he uses money.
"Money!" Yang Ming wrote a big word 'money' on the notebook with a pen, and then circled it heavily.
He can still take out the initial development funds of the time network, but the imitation power of the Internet is very strong, once the time network has an effect, there will definitely be countless followers, so he must use a large amount of funds to ensure the development of users in the early stage, and only by developing the number of users to a certain number can he stop investing.
Before that, Yang Ming must ensure that the capital chain will not be broken.
Moreover, he has clear steps in his mind for his film empire plan, if Oriental DreamWorks goes through the stage of small cost and big box office in the early stage, then next, he will shoot some large-scale zuò to reverse the positioning of Oriental DreamWorks in the film industry and the hearts of the audience.
Shooting a large-scale production must use special effects, a minute of footage, not to say millions, tens of millions are possible.
In the future movies of Oriental DreamWorks, there will inevitably be many places where special effects will be used, Yang Ming doesn't want to put his lifeblood in the hands of others, so he has already decided to buy a special effects company in his heart, and this is also to prepare for the future 3D plan.
Yang Ming's plan in his heart is extremely huge, don't look at the movies and TV series he has made are all big hits, but there are really too many places to use money, which leads to his extremely tight capital chain, and he can't make any mistakes.
Although he can continue to make classic movies to make a profit, this requires a certain period, and for now, it is far from quenching his thirst!
If only there was a plan to make money! Yang Ming thought secretly in his heart.

There may be a small outbreak tomorrow, can you encourage it, and recommend the votes to something!
