Chapter 225: Government Interference

In fact, Lin Nan has always been very curious about what Lei Mu said about the other high-level executives of Tongu Entertainment, because as far as he knows, the other shareholders of Chuangu Entertainment do not mention for the time being, more than 50% of the shares of their company are in the hands of government agencies, and it is even more difficult for Lei Mu to get the group of people in the government to agree to shoot such films, but Lei Mu has done it.

Lin Nan has always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Lei Mu, and now is obviously a good opportunity: "Mr. Lei, there is a question that has been bothering me for a long time!" ”

"What's the problem?" Lei Mu looked at Lin Nan, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he didn't know what Lin Nan wanted to ask.

"As far as I know, the government should not approve of making this kind of film, and the Big Five are actually controlled by the government, I wonder how you made concessions to the government!" Lin Nan stared at Lei Mu and asked, he always felt that there was some secret hidden in this matter.

Lei Mu hesitated slightly after hearing Lin Nan's question, and then said to Lin Nan: "Actually, the government has relaxed the restrictions on the four giants except for the Qiyi Film Studio four years ago, and the top management of the four giants are trying to buy back their company's shares from the government. ”

"Hiss-" Hearing Lei Mu say this kind of thing, Lin Nan was stunned, the shock in his heart can be imagined, and then he asked, "Why is this happening?" ”

"Because of the policy, the top level of the government wants to support the development of the film and television industry. And they also realize that too much government intervention will cause a great obstacle to the development of the film and television industry, so they are constantly recovering their own strength, and basically no longer decide to restrict film and television companies! After all, as the government gradually shrinks restrictions, a new era of Chinese films is coming, and after this new era, Lei Mu has decided to cooperate with Lin Nan, so it is necessary for Lin Nan to know these news for the cooperation between the two, so even if Lin Nan doesn't ask today, Lei Mu will find an opportunity to tell Lin Nan these things directly.

"Since there is this idea. Then why doesn't the government just lift the restrictions on you? I don't believe that the funds of Yichuan Ancient Entertainment will not be able to buy back the 50% stake from the government! After listening to Lei Mu's words, although Lin Nan was very surprised, he still had doubts in his heart.

Lin Nan's question made Lei Mu breathe a sigh of relief, and then a wry smile appeared on his face: "The government's hand has been in for decades. Whoever wants to withdraw can withdraw. The people and interests involved are simply too complex. It's not something that can be sorted out overnight! ”

As soon as Lei Mu said this, Lin Nan suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was also emotionally moved by the intricate relationship of interests. Then there was a burst of joy, fortunately, Nanshan Film and Television Company is relatively simple, of course, this is also because the company is not yet on scale, who knows what Nanshan Film and Television Company will become after five or ten years.

"As soon as the government forces withdraw, it means that the four giants are completely decided by a few of you CEOs?" Lin Nan asked.

After hearing this, Lei Mu shook his head: "No, big moves are decided by the board of directors, such as Chuangu Entertainment, the government currently occupies 130%, I occupy 30%, and other large and small shareholders together account for 40%, although the state rarely interferes in decision-making now, but if I want to make a decision, I still need the consent of most shareholders in the board of directors!" ”

Hearing Lei Mu say this, Lin Nan knew that he was wrong, he thought of Chuangu Entertainment as the same as Nanshan Film and Television Company, and always thought that the boss alone could decide everything, but he forgot that Lei Mu was different from himself, he did not own all the shares of the company.

"What about the others?" Since he had already started asking, Lin Nan simply asked one at a time.

"At present, Hantang Media still accounts for more than 50% of the state-owned component, and there is no change from before, and the national power seems to be gradually strengthened, it seems that it is likely to evolve into the second 71 Film Studio and completely nationalize!" Lei Mu paused as he spoke, and then continued: "As for Xia Entertainment Film and Television and Haitian International, I have to admire, the state-owned forces currently occupy no more than 10% of their company's share, and most importantly, their CEO holds more than 160% of the shares, which can be said to be the real decision-making power!" ”

Lin Nan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, he had been wondering why the government forces would let Haitian International and Xia Entertainment Film and Television unite to deal with him, but he didn't expect the actual situation to be like this, the state-owned forces in these two companies can already be so weak that they are negligible, and the company's decision-making power is completely in the hands of one person, no wonder they can directly unite against themselves.

However, since they chose to stand on the opposite side of themselves, Lin Nan would not let these companies feel so comfortable, and it was impossible to defeat them as well as dealing with Jinhua Network, but it was still no problem to be disgusted.

After thanking Lei Mu, Lin Nan left the United States and returned to China, this time he went to the United States to help Lei Mu watch the film Lin Nan can be said to have gained a lot, and the biggest gain is to learn from Lei Mu's mouth that the country is gradually recovering restrictions on the film and television industry.

For Lin Nan, there is almost no better news than this, national restrictions have always been Lin Nan's heart disease, and it is also a factor that Lin Nan believes is the most hindering to the development of Chinese film and television, and now that the country has relaxed restrictions, it means that many movies that may not be released in the mainland have become possible, and if it weren't for the alliance formed by Jinhua Network, Haitian International and Xia Entertainment Film and Television, "Resident Evil" may not really be able to be released in China.

Lin Nan was angry when he thought of this, but he could only take a few deep breaths now to endure the anger in his heart, now is not the time, when the time comes, Lin Nan will let the enemy taste what pain is.

And through this conversation with Lei Mu, Lin Nan also keenly captured a message, since the country is no longer ready to meddle in the affairs of the film and television industry, then maybe Nanshan Film and Television Company can also try to apply for the distribution rights of the film.

Lin Nan never thought about this thing before, because in the past, if a film company wanted to get the right to distribute films, it had to meet two conditions, the first was to have enough voice and market share in the industry, and the second was to at least sell the general shares to the state.

Lin Nan was reluctant to consider this matter before because of the second restriction, Lin Nan values freedom very seriously, and let him lose his freedom in exchange for a film distribution right, Lin Nan will never do this kind of thing, he would rather pay a lot of distribution fees to Chuangu Entertainment for each movie, and not let himself be restricted when shooting movies.

And now, as the country's power gradually retreats among the giants, Lin Nan obviously sees some hope, if the country really no longer interferes in the development of film and television companies, then it becomes necessary to get the right to distribute film and television, which is not only to save a lot of distribution costs, but also to enhance the reputation of Nanshan Film and Television Company will be unimaginable.

That is to become the sixth giant of Huaxia, it is conceivable that once Nanshan Film and Television Company has obtained the distribution right and becomes the sixth giant, then the existing pattern of the Chinese film and television industry is bound to be broken, and it is very likely that a large number of small and medium-sized film and television companies will gather under the banner of Nanshan Film and Television Company.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel his blood surging, he knew what his first goal should be at the moment - that is, to continuously improve the influence and market share of Nanshan Film and Television Company in the Chinese film and television industry, and then apply for film distribution rights!
