Yu Dong is the general manager of Haomeng Company, mainly responsible for the promotion and distribution of film and television dramas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to contacting Hollywood film companies in the United States for half a month, he also conducted research on overseas markets and made plans for the future development of Good Dreams.

In terms of cooperation with Hollywood, domestic film and television companies have always been in an unequal position.

For example, "The Funeral of a Big Shot" was sold to Columbia Asia Pictures at a low price.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sold well, but Good Dreams couldn't get a box office share in North America.

In "Hero", after negotiations, Good Dreams got 30% of the film's North American box office.

It may seem like progress, but Hollywood is still in a strong position when it comes to collaboration, and they control the distribution channels of the film and earn most of the profits.

If it was before, it doesn't matter, there is no market for Good Dreams' movies in the United States.

But with the preparation of "Hero" and "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure", they have already participated in this game, and they must understand the rules of the game in order to protect their own interests.

At least you can't be fooled by Hollywood studios.

It's not impossible, those people pay attention to interests and contracts, and don't talk about human feelings.

Lin Zixuan is preparing to set up an overseas business department, which will be responsible for dealing with Western film companies.

Good Dreams has just received a license for film distribution and operates more freely.

"I've talked to a few big Hollywood companies, and they're vague, they're not in a hurry, and they don't agree with the conditions we put forward, thinking they're too harsh." Yu Dong introduced.

"They are not in a hurry, we also have to be patient, I will go to the UK this time to talk about this matter through the media, co-produce this film with British film companies, build the project, and wait for Hollywood film companies to come and negotiate." Lin Zixuan said.

Negotiation is a game process, and if you don't have patience, you will suffer.

Lin Zixuan went to the United Kingdom, and the British prince recommended "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure", which will definitely cause heated discussions in the media.

He took the opportunity to announce that he would cooperate with British film companies to make a movie about the novel, which caused a lot of noise, and Hollywood film companies would negotiate with him if they wanted a piece of the pie.

If they don't take the bait, Lin Zixuan will take advantage of the situation to cooperate with British filmmakers.

It may not achieve the desired effect in the quality and box office of the film, but it can grasp the initiative.

You can't compromise in this regard, otherwise you will be making a wedding dress for others, and the benefits will be taken away by Hollywood.

"Mr. Lin, why don't we wait for another two years?" Yu Dong proposed.

He refers not only to the movie "Little Snow's Big Adventure", but also to the development of Good Dreams.

After waiting for two or three years, the influence of the novel in the West is getting bigger and bigger, and naturally there are film companies willing to cooperate.

Moreover, Haomeng Company is in a period of rapid expansion, and Yu Dong feels that it is a little too fast, and he needs to slow down and clarify the internal affairs of the company.

Invest hundreds of millions of commercial blockbusters, national cinema layout, and international distribution strategy.

Entering the new century, the company suddenly accelerated.

For a private film and television company with assets of just over 100 million yuan, it is easy to cause the rupture of the capital chain, and as long as one of the projects does not meet expectations, it may fall short.

It's like dancing on the tip of a knife, and there's a risk of getting out of control.

The reason why Good Dream Company has come to this point is based on everyone's trust in Lin Zixuan.

It's just that Lin Zixuan didn't make mistakes before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't make mistakes now, people will change.

There are many such examples in China.

A group of entrepreneurs who rose to prominence in the 80s and 90s, after the company grew to a certain size, had an inflated mentality, made unrealistic plans, and took risks, leading to the bankruptcy of the company.

A lesson from the past cannot be ignored.

Yu Dong believes that the best way is to first stabilize the domestic situation, lay a good foundation in two to three years, and then try to develop internationally.

As the general manager of the company, he has the responsibility to remind Lin Zixuan.

"Time waits for no one!" Lin Zixuan said helplessly, "This time the policy liberalization provides an opportunity for foreign capital, once those large enterprises and groups enter this circle, what kind of competition do we have, they can easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a theater, acquire a number of film and television companies to form a film and television group, and fully blossom." ”

Lin Zixuan is aware of the impact of the company's expansion, and there are many problems.

One is the capital chain, how to ensure that the capital chain is not broken, this is easy to solve, you can borrow from the bank, or introduce other shareholders for financing.

and even pay their own money to make up for the lack of funds.

The second is talent, especially in film distribution and company management.

It is easy to find people who understand movies, and it is not difficult to find people who understand management, but there are not many people who understand both movies and management.

Without the right management talent, employees are inproductive, departments are clamping each other down, and the faster a company expands, the greater the risk of bankruptcy.

In the final analysis, the company's heritage is still insufficient.

Compared with other private film and television companies in China, Good Dream Company may be strong enough, but the larger the scale, the more it can feel its own shortcomings.

Even so, Lin Zixuan still adhered to the route of rapid expansion.

He wants to develop Haomeng Company into an international film and television company while those big enterprises are still waiting, otherwise he will not have the strength to compete with large groups with strong capital.

China's economy has entered a stage of rapid development, and time is running out!

On the last day of 2000, the finals of "Voice of China" were held in Shonan.

Lin Zixuan came to Xiangnan with his daughter.

He didn't sit in the first row, but sat in the back seat with Xiaoxue like an ordinary audience, watching He Jiong and Li Xiang host on stage, and the scene was boiling.

The audience was paying attention to the stage, and not many people paid attention to the father and daughter wearing masks.

Only in the occasional swept shot, a little girl appears cheerful.

After the finals, Lin Zixuan pulled his daughter away and returned to the hotel to wait for Mu Shanshan, the two didn't want Xiaoxue to be exposed in the media too early.

Lin Zixuan accompanied his daughter to play in southern Hunan for two days and participated in the celebration banquet held by the TV station.

Whether it is the ratings of the program or the advertising revenue of the TV station, it has hit a new high, and "The Voice of China" has truly become a brand program.

Compared with the problems that arose in the first season, the second season is more strict in the management of the participating singers.

There was not so much negative news, allowing the audience to see a youthful and inspirational music program, and the media generally gave it good reviews, looking forward to the third season.

According to the plan, the third season will expand the scope of auditions, allowing overseas Chinese and foreign students studying in China to participate in the competition, increasing the highlights of the show.

As for whether to continue to cooperate with Shonan TV, it will be decided after consultation.

After all this, the family of three returned to the capital.
