The next day, Jin Zhongming refused the crew's request to send a car to pick him up early in the morning, but chose to have breakfast at Endi's house, and waited for his former assistant Wang Zhongbing. Immediately, just like many years ago, Wang Zhongbing drove him, carrying Jin Zhongming and the grace of rubbing the car, and the three of them went to the set in Shashang District together.
In other words, along the way, Jin Zhongming and Wang Zhongbing chatted non-stop, which can be called smiling and energetic, which made Endi, who was watching from the side, stunned...... The other party was obviously a half-hangover first, and then didn't sleep in the middle of the night, where did he get so much energy?
I don't know where so many spirits come from, but when the car was parked in a parking lot far away from the set, Endichi chose to go first. She can see that Jin Zhongming must still have something to say to his henchman, and there is no need for her to listen to some nonsense like last night...... Hearing too much about that kind of thing is not good for yourself.
Sure enough, behind Endi, who trotted away, Jin Zhongming and Wang Zhongbing walked one after the other, and the two also walked slowly along the road under Chenghe Mountain, and all kinds of random topics also unfolded.
"How?" asked Kim Jong-ming very broadly.
"Very nice. Wang Zhongbing replied very calmly, of course he knew what his job was. "Our Korean Taobao has become the actual main body of Korean e-commerce, and has also become a pillar industry in Busan, and because of the choice of geographical location, we also have enough influence and market share in RB on the other side of the sea......"
"Don't talk too much about that. Jin Zhongming did not doubt that these words were false, the combination of emerging industries, the Internet and the real economy, plus the nature of monopoly, it would be strange if there was no such level of development, but he did not want to listen to these words today. "Do you think there are any problems with the development of the enterprise until now?"
"You mean?"
"For example, lying on the merit book to sleep, people are floating in things, and the internal personnel of the enterprise are rigid...... Roughly so. ”
Wang Zhongbing followed Jin Zhongming silently for a while, and then reopened his mouth: "There may be such a thing, but I am not good at saying it, and I am not qualified to say it......"
Jin Zhongming smiled slightly, of course he understood what the other party meant.
In other words, although Wang Zhongbing is the overseer he sent to Busan, he is more only in the supervision of financial power. As for the things I just said, to be honest, they are not within the scope of the other party's authority, so it is 'difficult to say'. And to put it bluntly, in these things, Wang Zhongbing is just a layman after all, so he is not qualified to say.
If you want to say it forcibly, it's just flattery.
"Zhong Ming, are you going to take advantage of the people in Busan to clean up this side?" After thinking about it, Wang Zhongbing could only guess like this.
"Not so conspiracy theories. Jin Zhongming replied with a relaxed face. "I'm just going to expand the scope of my business, and I'm going to set up a new company in Seoul that is related to e-commerce, but it's actually independent, so as to stimulate the ...... of the old company."
"That's the perfect fit. Wang Zhongbing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "But this kind of thing is a success, and if it is done, it is naturally all good, and if it can't be done, I'm afraid it will make the Busan side despise you......"
"Thinking too much. Jin Zhongming replied playfully with his hands behind his back. "I'm scared when I make money!"
Wang Zhongbing immediately closed his mouth again, when he reached middle age, some of the edges and corners had already been polished.
In this way, the two went around and around, seeing the harbor under the sand appear in their eyes, but the topic talked about the seascape, the Busan Film Festival, and Li Yongguan, and naturally talked about what Kim Jong-ming had been preparing. And Wang Zhongbing, as Jin Zhongming's confidant, naturally did not hide these things from him.
"Anything else, is 10% too much?" Contrary to when he was younger, Wang Zhongbing, who has been here in Busan for several years, is unusually sensitive to numbers. "That's 10% of an industry's total revenue!
"You're thinking too much. Jin Zhongming replied lightly. "I'm using profits to create a new class, and if I don't take out a proportional amount of the benefits of the entire industry, how can I succeed?"
Wang Zhongbing was silent again, in the final analysis, this topic still seemed a little too big for him, so he didn't dare to answer.
"And. Jin Zhongming, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and smiled. "Where is it really 10%, maybe it's only 5%. ”
Wang Zhongbingden smiled dumbly, of course he also understood the meaning of this, the control of the foundation is in the hands of Jin Zhongming, and the real bleeding is actually only the remaining 10% of those theaters that were forcibly brought in, and Jin Zhongming manipulates the 'privately funded' foundation, maybe the left and right hands are changed, and the money goes back.
"Of course. Jin Zhongming continued to shake his head and smiled. "The most important point here is that the Korean film industry is too disciplined...... All proceeds are settled from the theater chain, no matter how you take taxes, 50% of all box office goes to the theater chain...... It's too easy to make money. ”
At this moment, Wang Zhongbing finally laughed jokingly, saying that he watched the development of South Korea's Taobao here in Busan, although he did not participate in the operation, but as the representative director of Kim Zhongming, at least he had more business knowledge than before.
You must know that the so-called cinema chain and cinema are actually two completely different concepts. Among them, the cinema chain is responsible for scheduling films, that is, the theoretical distributor, while the theater refers to the specific commercial place where movies are shown, where not only movies are shown, but also popcorn can be sold, and at the same time, a hot pot restaurant may be opened downstairs to sell instant noodles.
However, generally speaking, no matter which mainstream film country it is, the two plus a share of the two are indeed about 50%, which is the same as in South Korea.
But keep in mind that this is the share of the two families eating together, and it is theoretical.
In fact, the vast majority of countries with large film markets are hindered by various realities, and the theaters take far less than the theoretical share, while the theaters' share is far more than the nominal one.
The reasons for this are very complicated, including various hidden unspoken rules such as stealing the box office, and in the real big market environment, the degree of freedom of good theaters is very high, and the theater chain does not dare not give each other a good share; and even the reason why the theater chain has eaten the dividends of cultural policy and has to pinch its nose to make concessions to the theater.
Let's say more here, in fact, this is also the reason why Jin Zhongming originally intended to spend so much effort to invest in the so-called 'cinema chain' in China - his so-called China Meijia cinema chain should actually be a Chinese Meijia chain of cinemas, because China's cinema chain is not open to the public, but on the other hand, because of all the reasons mentioned above, it is indeed very profitable to open a theater in China.
In addition, there are all kinds of complex agency publishers in the market, and there are many interests and knowledge in the middle!
In short, without further ado, just remember one thing, that is, the film market situation in most countries is very complicated, and in the 50% of the joint share of theaters and theaters, the loss of profits is very serious, and more often, this number is actually just a number.
And what about South Korea? I'm sorry, but the Korean film market is ...... Hehe, its own national conditions are here!
First, the market is very prosperous, there are nearly 2,000 screens in a small South Korea, and there is no doubt that the Korean people's enthusiasm for watching movies is indeed very profitable.
Second, the supervision is strict, not to mention the uniform ticket prices across the country, all tickets are also networked, which movie theater and which movie on your side sell a ticket through which theater, and the data will be collected immediately on the computer of the Korean Film Promotion Board, and the so-called theater wants to steal money from outside the serious road, which is unimaginable!
Third, the monopoly is extremely strong! I just said that there are 2,000 screens in South Korea, so how many are there in the three major theater chains? The answer is about 500 per theater. In other words, all the other small theaters and small theater chains must pinch their noses to recognize the things that these three have decided, even the government has to pinch their noses to recognize, and the entire industry has to pinch their noses to recognize.
Fourth, the monopoly is extremely strong...... This is not repeated, because the monopoly just now refers to a horizontal monopoly, and this monopoly is vertical. For example, before Kim Jong Ming made a move, there was CJ Pictures behind CGV, and there was also a showbox behind Mega Cinemas, which were actually connected together, and after Kim Jong Ming made a move, this vertical monopoly became even closer. In this way, the so-called agency distribution, that is, the distribution commission, which accounts for about 10% of the total box office of the industry, is actually all-inclusive in the real theater chain!
Finally, and the most terrifying, compared with small theaters and various small theater chains, the three major theater chains are basically vertically managed. The meaning of the so-called vertical management is also very simple, that is, the cinema chain and the cinema are the same, or the cinema is an industry that belongs to the cinema chain. In this case, no matter how you calculate, the 50% belongs to the owner of this theater chain, and the so-called theater is actually a place responsible for serving guests.
What's more, don't forget that there is also the so-called cultural support policy, the cultural support dividend of the South Korean government, but it has been swallowed up by these three major theater chains...... Well, foreign films come to South Korea, sorry, the unified 15% share, and the remaining 85% are all theatrical. The cultural popularization of niche films?art films?I'm sorry, please leave it to the public small theater chain, I won't wait!
In short, with the measures of monopoly and integration, the cinema chain in South Korea is the real big boss, and 50% of them is the real 50%, which will not be discounted! And three of the cinema chains are real vampires, the harvesters of the entire industry, and everyone is working for them!
The so-called landlord collecting rent is a joke in other countries, but in the Korean film industry, it is simply too vivid!
Well, in the context of the film market with Korean characteristics, there is now half a village...... Ahh......h What, what's wrong?
The Lt Xin family is not convinced, let's have our own reason, who else dares to disagree?
"What about the Directors Guild?" After thinking for a while, Wang Zhongbing finally asked the most critical question. "That group of people actually has a lot of energy, and this time it is also the group that has suffered the most, will they be willing?"
"Actually. Jin Zhongming glanced back at Wang Zhongbing, who had entered middle age, again, and then stopped, he was not afraid of talking too much in front of this henchman. "Brother Zhong Bing, to put it bluntly, this is a game of charity. ”
Wang Zhongbing was confused: "Yan Shenggong I know, the Chinese emperor gave the title to the descendants of the Confucian saints, and I also know about charity, I have seen a lot of Busan over the years, but I ...... even a piece."
"It shows that in the Qing Dynasty, every time there was a disaster in Shandong, the Yan Shenggong of Qufu had to take the lead in organizing disaster relief!" As he spoke, Jin Zhongming turned his head and looked at Shaxia Harbor not far away, and he didn't know if he was looking at Shandong on the other side of the sea...... But it seems to be in the wrong direction, it seems to be RB over there. "For example, in a small disaster, Yan Shenggong took the lead and donated five hundred taels of silver, the prefect donated two hundred taels, the famous scholars and doctors in the city donated fifty taels each, the ordinary squires donated twenty taels, and the medium-sized merchants in the city each donated five taels, accumulating more than 10,000 taels of silver!"
"Really...... It's quite similar. Wang Zhongbing smacked a little taste.
"Of course, the disaster relief of that era must have the characteristics of that era. Jin Zhongming continued to tell the story in a calm tone. "After more than 10,000 taels of silver arrived, Yan Shenggong took 5,000 taels first, because he wrote a plaque for disaster relief...... Polishing fee!"
Wang Zhongbing was stunned suddenly, and his mind almost didn't turn around.
Then the prefect took another two thousand taels, because he sent the officials to maintain order. The rest of the doctors were repaid double the amount invested, because they came forward to shout slogans. And the rich squires also took their money according to the original price, because they sat and watched. In the end, about 500 taels were left to be handed over to the officials to help the disaster...... Questions?"
"Of course there is a problem. Although he understood what Jin Zhongming meant, Wang Zhongbing still couldn't cry or laugh. "I don't study history well, I don't know what virtues the officials in China in the Ming and Qing dynasties were, but if I put it on the side of Li's Joseon, the low-level soap officials and officials can leave fifty taels for the victims, which is extremely clean...... I estimate that I will only spend five taels of silver to buy some old rice, and then forcibly recruit an iron pot, and let the victims chop firewood by themselves, and finally boil a pot of gruel to make a show. ”
"That's right. Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly. "You've learned pretty good history...... However, Brother Zhong Bing, let me ask you, even so, aren't the victims grateful to Yan Shenggong who gave them food?"
"Of course I will be grateful, it is a descendant of a saint, and he is the only one who stands up to organize the disaster relief, and even if something goes wrong, it is only these officials who are corrupt and pervert the law. Wang Zhongbing replied quickly and drew inferences. "As for the prefects, scholars, and wealthy squires, they were all happy and convinced of the righteous deeds of the Yan Sheng Gong, because they either took money or became famous, but they all relied on the fame of the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion to do this. And the small merchants who have lost money...... I would never dare to grin my teeth. Otherwise, the prefect will let them know what is called the door-breaking order Yin, and the scholars and squires will let them know what it means to rule the country by village sages, and even provoke some people, maybe there will be people who incite the victims, saying that it is the old rice sold by this family, and the victims will burn your whole family in minutes. ”
"Brother Zhong Bing has indeed aged a lot. Jin Zhongming replied with a smile.
"It's just a lot of going through. Wang Zhongbing smiled bitterly. "I'm nothing in Seoul, but in Busan, I've seen a lot of charity games in your name over the years......"
"However, I am not the Holy Father. Jin Zhongming said calmly. "I just want my money back. And my foundation is not the kind of charity you say, let alone the kind of charitable foundation that the church uses to lend usury...... Either way, I'm going to make it really do its job of rescuing, and then it's a game where the Squires double back...... In this case, what happened to the Directors Guild? If they are not convinced, they should also beware of this disaster, and at the same time go to the greedy squires to settle accounts, what are they looking for me, a saint, to do?!"
Wang Zhongbing laughed again, he really didn't know what to say...... Indeed, who should I go to? Such a good Yan Sheng Gong can't find it with a lantern!
"By the way, are you familiar with Han Jin Haihai?" After a topic was finished, Jin Zhongming continued to walk to the front set, but he was still not idle.
"Of course. Wang Zhongbing, who hurriedly followed, replied with a smile. "It's all in Busan, not to mention, even if it's Tiannan, Haibei, it's impossible for us to do e-commerce without knowing those who do logistics, right?"
"Then call me and thank them. Jin Zhongming stretched out his hand and pointed to the Shaxia harbor of the guide. "Let's just say that the scenery looks much better after these booms are put down......"
"Oh...... Okay!" Wang Zhongbing didn't know why, but he still quickly agreed.
The morning in the coastal city was sunny, and it seemed to be a good time for work, but when he turned the corner and came to the intersection in front of the set, Jin Zhongming couldn't help frowning:
"What's wrong?"
"Hey...... Rong and OPPA fans!" Endi, who was blocked in front of the intersection, reluctantly turned around and explained. "I heard that their oppa came here to shoot a TV series, and it was blocked early in the morning. As you know, Ronghe OPPA is now the general trend of the general trend, and in Busan, it is the standard male number one...... Better than you. ”
Jin Zhongming didn't care about Endi's explanation, but tilted his head and looked at the group of crazy fans in front of him seriously, to be honest, he felt that he hadn't seen a fan girl appear in front of him for a long time.
I saw this group of female fans lining up in a neat queue, wearing T-shirts and jackets of the same color, holding makeshift signs, and shouting neat slogans, blocking the intersection tightly...... Even, whenever there is a figure on the crew's side, someone can't help but disrupt the order and shout oppa, hoping that the other party is Zheng Ronghe who he has been thinking about for a long time.
After a while, I probably found that the three of us were blocked outside, and the assistant of FNC took the lead, and a group of crew members rushed out and began to sweat profusely under their gaze and do some work with the fans...... In fact, this stimulated the fans, and they began to shout the nickname 'Yonghe oppa' in the more high-pitched Busan dialect!
For a while, the scene was chaotic.
And Jin Zhongming couldn't help but smile lightly at this time...... It's really interesting!
