There is news in the film circle - the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" produced by Pan Disheng, directed by Hong Jinbao, starring Hong Jinbao, Lin Tsaixiang, Ye Dexian and Yang Ziqiong was officially launched.

For Hong Jinbao, Lin Tsaixiang, and Ye Dexian, this news is just a movie that they are looking forward to.

But after Xu Cun saw this in the newspaper, he knew that the famous Debao Film Company was about to be born.

Then, Xu Cun looked for Cen Jianxun's name in "The Owl and Dumbo", wanting to strangle Debao, a powerful film company, in the cradle on the grounds of Cen Jianxun.

It's a pity -

In the position of the curator of "The Owl and Dumbo", there is only Wu Ma - Shum Jianxun's name does not appear in the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" as in the previous life.

In this regard, Xu Cun couldn't help but be disappointed!

But-

Thinking of Debao's most famous movie "Royal Sister" series and Debao's second helmsman under the banner of DreamWorks, Xu Cun laughed at himself again - with the current strength of DreamWorks, do you still need to care about a small Debao?

After that, Xu Cun focused on the people who entered his office.

The person who came is called Ye Zhiming, and he is a very legendary man!

Ye Zhiming made his fortune by speculating and renting yachts in Saigon, made a million dollars by making wigs in the United States, and then engaged in the oil business, but lost a lot of money.

Later, Ye Zhiming spent 40,000 yuan to buy colorful jeans to establish a jeans empire of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

During the same period, Ye Zhiming also engaged in Binbin Film Company, and successively made a number of films that ranked in the top ten of the annual box office list in Hong Kong, and was known as the base camp of Hong Kong's new ~ wave films.

Subsequently, the development of Binbin Film Company encountered a bottleneck - because there was no theater of its own, Binbin Film Company's films could not be scheduled for a good schedule.

In order to break through the bottleneck, Binbin Film Company cooperated with Shuangnan Cinema Line, but as a result, Binbin Film Company was not only banned by the Taiwan Bend authorities, but also Qiu Degen and Chen Songqing. Even the colorful jeans have lost the Taiwan market, and their vitality has been greatly damaged all of a sudden.

After that, Ye Zhiming made a lot of money from Beihai Fishing Village, and then Ye Zhiming, who wanted to make a comeback, raised 10 million yuan again to build Qiaozui Island Resort - as a result, the unlucky Ye Zhiming encountered the collapse of Xiangjiang Real Estate again.

One of the reasons why Xu Cun agreed to meet Ye Zhiming, who lost nothing because of the Qiaozui Island Resort, was because Ye Zhiming had a sister who was named "Lang" - a generation of Cleopatra Ye Yuqing.

Of course, Xu Cun's meeting with Ye Zhiming was not all because of Ye Yuqing, but also because of the plan that Ye Zhiming brought aroused Xu Cun's interest.

After inviting Ye Zhiming to sit down, Xu Cun said, "Why did Mr. Ye ask me to cooperate in the video distribution business?"

Ye Zhiming came prepared - after listening to Xu Cun's question, Ye Zhiming immediately replied: "There are four reasons why I asked Mr. Xu for you to cooperate in the video tape business. First, Mr. Xu, you are very rich. Second, Mr. Xu, you are very famous. Third, DreamWorks and Phoenix Channel have a lot of copyrights for movies and TV series. Fourth, only Mr. Xu can enter the mainland market. ”

Xu Cun said noncommittally: "Mr. Ye, can you explain to me these four reasons of yours?"

Ye Zhiming smiled and said: "Of course, Mr. Xu, if you have seen my plan, you should know that I am going to distribute the videotape to the whole of Asia and even Europe and the United States, and it is impossible to do such a big business in a short period of time without a large amount of money as the principal, and to be honest, I can't come up with so much money now." And money is only one aspect, without the support of Mr. Xu's fame, even if I have more money, it is impossible for my videotapes to enter the markets of various countries in a short period of time, especially the semi-closed market in the mainland. As for DreamWorks and Phoenix, there are many copyrights for movies and TV series, needless to say, how can you do video tape distribution, especially in Europe and the United States, without copyright? All in all, I think you will definitely make a lot of money by cooperating with you in video tape distribution!"

This year, Paramount released a home videotape of "Star Trek 2: Khan's Roar," priced at $39.95, more than $40 less than the average price of previous movie tapes. As a result, price competition in the home videotape market has intensified, which in turn has promoted the popularity of video recorders.

And just two years later, consumers are spending more money on buying and renting movie tapes than they do on going to the theater.

It can be said that Ye Zhiming's vision is very accurate, and the timing is very good - now is the best time to make a video tape release!

The most rare thing is that Ye Zhiming even set his sights on the mainland market.

In the mid-80s, video was popular in the mainland in the form of "halls" - video halls were all over the urban and rural communities of China and G, and its ticket prices were cheaper than those of movie theaters, although TV fluorescent screens were much smaller than silver screens, after all, you could see a large number of films that were not available in movie theaters, so it was even more attractive than movie theaters.

Therefore, if it can really open up the mainland video tape market, its profits will definitely be very considerable.

But-

There are two big problems in opening up the mainland video tape market.

First, there are not enough video recorders in the mainland.

Second, through formal channels, it is impossible to send films that are not allowed to be broadcast in the mainland to the mainland in the form of video tapes.

After listening to Ye Zhiming's explanation, Xu Cun directly asked these two problems: "How do you solve the problem that there are not enough video recorders in the mainland and send the movies that the mainland does not allow to be broadcast to the mainland in the form of video tapes?"

Ye Zhiming replied: "The first problem is easy to solve, Japan's Funai Electric has developed a relatively low-cost video camera, and it is very suitable to use this video recorder to open the mainland market." In fact, the second problem is not difficult to solve, we can use Mr. Xu's relationship to do formal videotape distribution in the mainland, and on the other hand, we can support mainlanders to do informal videotape distribution in the mainland by mastering it. ”

In the previous life, Funai Electric assembled video recorders in China and exported them to North America. Soon, the founder, Tetsura Funai, became the first billionaire in the Japanese electronics industry.

It is also a good idea to support mainlanders to do piracy by making master tapes, and Xu Cun remembers that VCD and DVD in the mid-90s were opened up in this way.

Therefore, the two solutions given by Ye Zhiming can indeed solve the two problems that have to be faced to open the mainland video tape market.

After listening to Ye Zhiming's answer, Xu Cun said: "Is there a problem if I want to buy Funai Motor?" -- The video recorder market in the mainland is also a big piece of fat, how could Xu Cun, who has always been greedy, give this piece of fat to Funai Motor?

After listening to Xu Cun's words, Ye Zhiming felt like a confidant - Ye Zhiming also wanted to buy Funai Electric and also do the video recorder business.

Therefore, Ye Zhiming immediately said: "If I don't reflect my value, I am not qualified to cooperate with you, Mr. Xu, and leave the acquisition of Funai Electric to me." ”
