Chapter 212: There's a lot of room for cooperation

The 3Q war, which shook the entire Internet in the previous life, finally kicked off as promised.

Tencent and 360 grievances,There has been a long history,Since 07, the two have been in constant discord,The two companies are extremely offensive enterprises,The accumulation of contradictions is getting deeper and deeper,Finally broke out in the first half of the year。 At that time, Qihoo 360 was competing with Jinshan for the market, and through the free policy, to drive Jinshan out of the field, Qihoo Zhou Hongwei threw out more than 40 messages on Weibo, blowing up the long-standing grudge between 360 and Jinshan, and Jinshan immediately responded strongly.

The two companies then sued each other, and the war of words and litigation continued. At this moment, Tencent suddenly made a move to upgrade QQ Doctor to QQ Butler, which is almost exactly the same as 360 Computer Manager, which caught 360 off guard.

Tencent copied the world, forced to kill I don't know how many small and medium-sized enterprises, and concentrated most of the excellent innovation of the Internet into its own command through the copycat, and has always been 'see what is good, reach out and take it', and do not ask whether the other party agrees or not; Whoever competes with 360 is a virus, and whoever has a vulnerability'.

These two, one is a bandit and the other is a bully, and when the two families meet, the bandits want to rob the bully's most valuable treasure, and the bully thinks that there are still people who dare to come and rob Lao Tzu?

Come out to mix, there is mud on your feet, no one is so clean, Qihoo 360 caught a lot of problems with Tencent, standing on the moral high ground to condemn, a few days later, Tencent also caught 360's little tail: 360 privacy protector exposed QQ voyeur user privacy incident, which seems to be the protection of users, but in fact it has constituted unfair competition.

Tencent officially announced that it is suing 360, demanding that Qihoo and its affiliates cease the infringement, publicly apologize and pay compensation.

"360 is terrible, because it is a system level thing, all application software, are based on the system level, 360 can control these software from the source, the authority is so high, it can even be close to the computer operating system. ”

Zhao Zejun estimated that the two guys in front of him couldn't understand, paused, and said: "It's like Microsoft, if it's not compatible with a certain software, how many people do you say this software will use it?"

If it weren't for the last sentence, the two guys in front of me would basically not understand.

Xia Fei and Qiao Xinlong.

Xinlong Pictures has cooperated with Tianze Media since 08, and with the help of Zhao Zejun, it has made several blockbusters in a row, and finally turned over and became a first-class company in the industry. The company's fame has risen, and there are naturally more and more famous directors, actors, and screenwriters who come to seek investment, entering a virtuous cycle of development, and playing triumphant songs all the way.

In just two years, Xinlong Pictures' annual income has doubled almost every year. Of course, this is closely related to the prosperity of the domestic film market, in 2009, the total box office of the country has reached 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This summer, Xinlong invited Feng Dagang to direct the disaster blockbuster "Tangshan Earthquake" to be released, which won nearly 700 million at the box office in one fell swoop. The total investment is 120 million yuan, of which Xinlong Pictures invested 80 million yuan and Tianze Media invested 40 million yuan.

This alone made Tianze Media a profit of more than 200% and brought a net profit of 150 million to Xinlong Pictures.

As an aside, due to the stable cooperation established with Xinlong Pictures, Tianze Media, which is not a real estate or an Internet 'enclave' of the Zezi system, is among the best in the profitability of the entire Zezi system, plus the advertising and sharing of variety shows, hundreds of millions of profits a year are steadily recorded.

The cooperation between Xinlong and Tianze is due to the personal relationship between the bosses of both sides on the one hand, and on the other hand, both sides also have their own needs. Making movies can make money, make money quickly, the premise is that the investment is correct, it does not mean that as long as the big director, big production, and famous actors will definitely make money, a film with a loss of hundreds of millions abounds, and it turns out that Zhao Zejun seems to be more sensitive to movies than ordinary people, and most of the films he circled, which have never lost money, can make a lot of money.

The only one that seems to be able to barely recover the cost is the Yangtze River No. 7 in 08 with Zhou Xingxing, which was also the best-selling film in the mainland box office that year, but unfortunately the investment was too large, although the box office was high, the investors did not make money, and they lost millions in the end. Like Chibi, which was the No. 1 box office that year, the box office was high, the investment was large, and it was not profitable.

But this film has brought Xinlong a great reputation, and it is precisely because of the Yangtze River No. 7 that Xinlong has become a well-known big production company like Huayi and Bona.

Of course, Tianze Media also needs to borrow Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei. Tianze doesn't do anything, only pays to collect money, and the specific and meticulous work needs to be operated by Xinlong Pictures, as the profitability of Xinlong Pictures is getting stronger and stronger, many production companies have begun to blush and want to cooperate and invest in a piece of the pie. But with Zhao Zejun's 'divine eye', Xinlong has almost no worries about being indebted, and there is no need to share the cost at all, so only Tianze can participate in joint investment so far.

On the other hand, there is competition in all walks of life, and Xinlong will offend some people if he rises so fast. Not to mention anything else, just a few plays with Feng Dagang, in the original time and space, they were all produced by Huayi Brothers, and Feng Dagang is almost the queen director of Huayi.

In this life, Xinlong almost grabbed rice directly in the Huayi bowl. As the largest production company in the country, Huayi has a deep background and strong energy, and even a 'chaebol' like Zezi may not be willing to directly conflict with the other party.

But with Xia Fei here, it's all fine!

Today, the two of them came over, chatted a few words on the Internet, and then took out a few movie scripts.

This is Zhao Zejun's 3+2 plan for Xinlong Pictures in the second half of the year, and a total of five movies are ready to be made, three magic films, and two light comedies of life.

Painting Skin 2, New Chinese Ghost Story, Painting Wall three magic, 33 days of broken love, and two life comedies in the embarrassment of Thailand. These five movies can all be earned, and it is just a matter of earning more and earning less, these three magic films, Painted Skin 2 exploded to a box office of 700 million in the original time and space, and the rest are less than 200 million, making a small profit;

For magic films, Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei have a lot of confidence.

As for the other two films, neither of them is very confident.

However, the investment of 33 days of broken love is too small, less than 10 million, even if it is smashed, it is nothing.

The investment in Thai embarrassment is relatively more, the key is that the first part of "People in Embarrassment" cooperated with Xu Zheng last year had a mediocre box office performance, and the final national box office was only more than 30 million.

"Or else. Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said: "Thai embarrassment is invested by Tianze and Zeye, as a gift for the opening of Shanghai Zeye Plaza, and we have three points if we earn it, and I will lose it." The rest of the films, or the old rules, invest together?"

"That's not what it means. Xia Fei waved his hand and said, "Money is not important, it's just tens of millions of dollars in and out." I thought, since I want to do it, I will try to choose the best ones and do it as well as possible. ”

"I have a certain understanding of Xu Zheng, a director, talented and creative, he used to be an actor, and now he has changed his career to become a director, after experiencing some experience in the first two years, he has either been silent in the past few years, or he has entered his explosive period. ”

Zhao Zejun said: "This time it is not to invest in movies, but to invest in this director, and invest in gambling once in his growth stage." Fortunately, there is not much money, and in my opinion, he can use the box office sharing model to stimulate his enthusiasm. ”

Zhao Zejun doesn't participate in the movie, and he doesn't seem to understand it very well, but his opinions, Qiao Xinlong and Xia Fei attach great importance to it, and they came to Zhao Zejun today to ask for advice, since he analyzed it like this, these two naturally have nothing to oppose.

As Xia Fei said, it is nothing more than tens of millions of things, for the profit and loss of this money, they divided each other, and it seemed that they were divided.

"By the way, I heard that your old man has been promoted?" Zhao Zejun asked casually.

"It's not like it's going to be high. Xia Fei shrugged, "Originally, I went to the grassroots level to practice, and it was only a matter of time before I returned to the capital, and it was just smooth." ”

Qiao Xinlong and Zhao Zejun rolled their eyes at the same time.

Old man Xia Fei is a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level, do you call this 'going down to the grassroots level'?

But come to think of it, with the background of Xia Fei's family, going to the following provinces and cities to become an official is really a process of accumulating experience and qualifications, as long as the Xia family does not fall, sooner or later they will have to return to the top.

In terms of power, since Zhao Zejun's rebirth, among the people he has dealt with, the Xia family is definitely the first, and there is no one. People say that plucking hair is thicker than the thighs, which is not an exaggeration at all when used on the Xia family, but modesty.

"Speaking of my old man, I have to thank you. Xia Fei nodded at Zhao Zejun and said: "Tianxin Charity has done a good job in the past few years, and its reputation in the country is very good. My old man said that I had done something serious, and last time he asked me if there was any possibility of cooperation with the Disabled Persons' Federation. ”

"Disabled Persons' Federation?" Zhao Zejun rolled his eyelids, Tianxin Charity, which focuses on education, naturally does not have much cooperation with the Disabled Persons' Federation.

However, there is great room for cooperation between the Xia family and the leaders of the Disabled Persons' Federation.

"Naturally, we can cooperate, and the world's welfare charity is a family. Zhao Zejun laughed.

When we smile, we know each other.

"By the way, there is one thing, you can consider whether your old man can help exert some influence. Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said, "You can consider it yourself, don't force it." ”

"I know what you say. Xia Fei nodded.

"It's still the 360 and Tencent thing that I said at the beginning. Zhao Zejun said: "These two companies may continue to make trouble in the future, can they let them compete for a little longer?"
