In his previous life, Yang Ming was just an unpopular artist at the bottom of the entertainment industry, although he knew a lot of insider information, but he really didn't know much about insider trading between major entertainment giants, and at most he had only heard of it.

However, as his career slowly penetrates into the depths of the entire entertainment industry, he also knows many things that he didn't know before.

Or rather, he stood at a height and saw something he couldn't see before.

For the rise of Oriental DreamWorks, even now in the entertainment industry, it is considered by countless people to be the biggest miracle, and even many people think that Oriental DreamWorks will soon be short-lived, at most a few years, and will soon disappear from the entertainment industry.

And there are not a few people who have this opinion.

Whether it is Huaxia or United States, why have the so-called film industry giants been those for decades, even after ten years, the number and name are still exactly the same, and there is no change.

During this period, there were also several film companies that were short-lived with amazing results, but soon lacked stamina, slowly faded the halo on their bodies, and finally disappeared into the entertainment industry.

Why?

Could it be that the movies made by those film companies are not good-looking?

Or are the top executives of those film companies who are not operationally minded?

But everyone knows that in this short period of ten years, it was those people who made beautiful achievements at the beginning, and then the company's performance declined rapidly, and they are still these people, which is definitely not a simple business strategy problem.

In fact, as long as you have a certain status in the film industry, you know that the top resources in this industry, the biggest piece of cake, are controlled by those fixed giants, and no one is allowed to share their cake.

There is also fierce competition between these giants, but that is limited to normal business battles.

But if there is a company that can threaten their position and interests, they will all turn the gun around and target the same enemy together.

Whether it is Huaxia or Mi Guo, this is the case.

Brother Media, Baoli Company, Zhonghuang Entertainment, Victory Pictures, China Film Group, Royal Entertainment!

These are the six giants of the Chinese entertainment industry, and there has been basically no change in the past few decades, and it has always been these six giants who control the top resources of the Chinese film industry.

Never changed.

It can be said that it is simply impossible for an entertainment company to stand at the same height as them in the film industry.

This result has been passed through the skeleton of several film companies to prove that their interests are not to be shared.

It is precisely because of this that the rapid rise of Oriental DreamWorks in just two years and its firm foothold will make everyone in the entertainment industry think that this is a miracle, or just a flash in the pan.

At first, Yang Ming was not aware of the complex interests of the entire film industry hidden in the depths.

But when Oriental DreamWorks suddenly stood at a certain height in the Chinese film market, he already felt that there was an extraordinary relationship between these six giants, and the first to remind him was not Liu Xinsheng, but Sister Zhu, an ace agent who is well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry.

In the subsequent meetings with Lu Enzhong, Yang Ming also knew this from the words revealed by the other party.

From the incomparably dazzling aura of the past few years to the current struggling situation, it can be said that it is not unrelated to the suppression of the six giants.

In terms of theaters, the squeeze on the number of screens, the shooting of blockbuster movies of the same type to compete for the film market of the same schedule, and the smear of media publicity, in short, various means have caused the box office performance of Tianxia Pictures to shrink rapidly.

Otherwise, it would not have put the company itself in a critical situation because it was just a failure of one movie.

Yang Ming was also shocked when he heard the reminder of the two of them, and then he specially went back to the college to ask the old dean for advice, only to realize how lucky Oriental DreamWorks was to be able to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.

In the film industry, a director who keeps succeeding and getting huge box office movies is definitely the most popular among film companies.

If it gets to a certain point, even those giants revolve around a successful director.

There are even some cooperation between big directors and giants, the director can get up to 20% of the box office from the movie, plus the original director's salary, a movie, the director has received more than 100 million yuan There have been several real cases.

As an example, last year, Li Canghai's "Great Generation" filmed for Shengli Pictures won nearly 600 million Chinese yuan at the box office in East Asia, and Li Canghai, the director, can share at least 100 million Chinese yuan in dividends.

If you go out to theaters and distribute copies and other expenses, the benefits that Victory Pictures gets are at most only able to recover the investment.

For the sake of a director to give up such huge benefits, are these giants doing charity? Are they stupid?

Apparently not.

Excluding the box office of East Asian films, "A Great Generation" also has a box office of nearly 500 million movies around the world, and the director of this part of the cake does not participate in sharing, so this is the film company sharing this delicious cake alone.

But for Huaxia's film companies, it is really rare to be able to achieve such a beautiful box office in the world like "A Great Generation".

And there are other gains, which are not calculated.

According to statistics, the DVD copyright of "A Generation of Great Men" was sold for 28 million, the TV copyright was sold for 11 million, and the peripheral sales reached 200 million Chinese yuan, which is another 30 million according to the 15% commission of the film company's peripheral income.

This does not yet account for other hidden copyright gains.

These victories alone have reaped eye-watering results, and for film companies, box office results are never the best benefit, it is just a guarantee of success.

The biggest benefit comes from the benefits of copyright.

Especially in the rising online film and television, their film copyrights have found new profit growth points.

Like Yang Ming's own "2012", for the sake of financial transparency, there is no confusion between the finances of the subsidiary, even if the buyout fee for the online screening sold to Popcorn Network is 5 million Chinese yuan, as for other video websites, it will not be less than 7 million Chinese yuan at all.

It can be said that for giant companies, the most important thing is always the income from copyright.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, even if a director is successful, even if his movies are blockbusters, as long as his films have the investment of giants, and the final copyright belongs to the giants, they will definitely win the director's success, as long as the box office results are good, the director will have a certain right to get a share of the box office results.

This is also a symbol of a great director.

However, if this director wants to open his own film company to make a movie, and the copyright belongs to his own film company, then it will definitely attract the suppression of giants and other film companies.

Maybe one or two successes will not attract the attention of the giants, but as long as you rise to a certain scale, it will definitely attract the giants to hit mercilessly, theaters, media, actors, publicity and so on.

This is a real scene in the film industry.
