Chapter 986: The Three Princes
Dulin just got rid of Mr. Knight and the disabled child Henry, and then ran into the six major production companies, by the way, from this year onwards, "intellectual retardation" will also be used as a standard for the review of the disabled in the empire, which will undoubtedly benefit many provincial people, after all, the phrase that provincial people are fools is not untargeted.
Not only dirty, but also lazy and stupid!
The Big Six companies have always wanted to talk to Du Lin about the next cooperation with the TV station, which is also a cooperation that the Big Six production companies attach great importance to, and an opportunity to turn around!
Once it can be proved that the revenue of TV on demand is not weaker than the box office of theatrical releases, it is very likely to have an extremely strong impact on the future film and television industry. The right to speak and the initiative will return from the hands of the theater company to the production and distribution company, and they can make more "reasonable" demands to protect their own interests, instead of being like now, even if they know that the theater chain has been stealing the box office and violating the contract for screening, they can't do anything.
The interests involved in this are more than 10 million yuan every year, and these companies can't afford not to care.
And now the empire's entertainment market is getting bigger and bigger, and the evaluation agency of Xie Lisi Street believes that within five years, the scale of the entire empire's entertainment industry, especially the film and television industry, will reach more than 2 billion. In the past, a 300,000 movie could be called a big production, but a few years later, only a 1 million movie is qualified to be a big production.
The presidents of the six major production companies all looked at Henry, who was whispering to his girlfriend not far away, and Henry seemed to be aware of this gaze, and everyone raised their wine glasses in the air.
"See, that's the president of the six major production companies, and we have a very good relationship, so you won't have any problems with that movie at all, don't worry. Henry stroked his little girlfriend who was a little worried again, "And I also pulled Durin, he is my good friend, and he won't let me suffer!"
Henry didn't know why the presidents of the six major production companies looked at him together, in fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't necessarily be angry, because it was the truth.
He just invested one million in one of the six major production companies, entrusting the other party to take care of everything including the script, director, and actors, and he was only responsible for providing the money and the heroine, and asked for a release next year at the latest.
Before coming into contact with Henry, the six major production companies did not realize that the money was so easy to make, which indirectly promoted the emergence of a new term in the film industry in a recent event - packaging services.
One by one, the agents waved the project books in their hands to pull a lot of money from the nouveau riche, which also made the film industry at the end of the year lively.
A bigger and bigger market means more and more profits, and the six major production companies have to surrender to the theater side and give up nearly half or even more of their money. They have also considered running their own cinema chain, but this investment is definitely not something that any one can play on their own.
The empire has so far built more than 1,100 new movie theaters, double the number of three years ago, which also reflects the fact that the empire's economic boom has released more dividends to every citizen of the empire, so that they can have enough to eat, drink, and clothe, and still have money for spiritual enjoyment.
If the six major companies want to join forces to suppress these theater chains, they must build another 1,100 theaters and continue to build more theaters, at least more than 3,000 theaters, before it is possible to fully occupy the market and expel other theaters. But the problem is that they can't afford so much money and can't afford the construction and follow-up maintenance of so many theaters, so they can only be constrained by the theater line.
But if Dulin's on-demand can effectively solve these problems, they can use the on-demand broadcast of the TV station to expand their own revenue links, and then go to the theater market step by step, which is related to their income for many years in the future, and they must pay attention.
"Mr. Doolin, I wonder when the cables on the TV group will be laid in all the cities?", the president of Blue Bay Productions asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.
The most criticized aspect of the TV station is that it is too slow to lay lines, and so far only the main first-tier cities and some second-tier cities have been completed, and the rest is basically only on paper.
Dührin thought about the question for a moment, and then replied, "It may take a year to two years, and we have accelerated the pace of laying, but I hope you can understand that some cities are obviously inexplicably resistant to some new things, and not all cities welcome such new things." ”
Several presidents glanced at each other and then stopped on the president of Blue Bay Productions, this gentleman in his forties was smiling on the surface, but he was muttering in his heart, he smiled slightly, opened his mouth and waited for a few seconds before he spoke, "We have an assumption ......", he said here and stopped to observe Durin's expression closely, Duhrin nodded and motioned for him to continue, he continued, "You know that we filmmakers can know people from many different places, maybe we can help in this matter!"
The more he spoke, the smoother he became, and his thinking became clearer, "We can completely help the TV Group lay the lines in the following cities, and then 'rent' them to the TV Group, and we will bear the laying and maintenance costs of the lines themselves......
Before he could finish his sentence, Durin interrupted him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not in charge of the business of the TV Group right now, you can contact Ms. Nasha and Ms. Frena, they should be interested." Having said that, it is actually a rejection, but there are many kinds of rejection, at least such a refusal will not make people lose face, and it also maintains each other's decency.
"I can understand that it is the right choice to leave professional things to professional people. The president of Lanwan nodded, although they failed, they were not distressed, this is to give it a try, what if it succeeds?
Several people talked about Kinsale's development and performance in the film and television industry this year, and Dulin chatted with them for a while and then changed places.
Before the engagement ceremony began, Du Lin went back and forth to a small circle after another, saying something to these people that had nothing to do with the engagement ceremony, and it might involve business or even people's livelihood, all of which were related to money.
Fortunately, Maggs saved him in time, and the royal family came, and as one of the protagonists in the engagement ceremony, Durin must go with Maggs to greet him.
Even if the royal family has become a symbol, a kind of mascot, the royal family is at least still royal!
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Du Lin, the person who came from the royal family this time, knew that it was the young man who reminded him on the princess's birthday that the book he was going to give was an egg book.
It's embarrassing!
The royal princess brought an egg book as a birthday gift for her birthday, but she was discovered by the princess's brother, and the other party's ability to maintain her appearance is already a very educated performance, of course, this also made Du Lin meet this young man who has a good relationship with him, His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Empire.
His Majesty now has a total of seven children, five boys and two girls, and if it weren't for the increasingly serious financial problems of the royal family, the old emperor, who may have lost power, would have kept making people until the palace was piled up.
But even so, the emperor, who only had two children thirty years ago, still added five direct members to the imperial family after losing power, which shows that in the days when there is no power, the only thing that can kill time is to fight in bed.
"Mr. Dulin, we have met again......", after the third prince shook hands with Dulin, he glanced at Mags, "After my sister's birthday party last time, she also asked for your contact information, in fact, I personally think that maybe choosing the royal family is the most correct choice!"
After saying these words, the third prince bowed slightly to Maggs with a smile on his face, "I'm very sorry, first of all, Your Excellency, I don't mean to belittle the Timamont family, I just state a fact from the position of an older brother. ”
Du Lin faintly felt that there was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder between the third prince and Magus, and he thought about it and felt that this was normal. Magus forced the emperor to lose the power in his hands, and it was definitely not only His Majesty the Emperor who suffered losses, but the entire royal family members suffered huge losses, and their descendants, descendants of descendants, continued infinitely backwards, and everyone suffered huge losses because of Mags.
The succession of the throne does not represent a change of power, which is really painful for the royal family, and he does have a reason to be hostile to Mags.
"The royal blood is noble, and Her Royal Highness is too young, I believe that there will be someone more suitable for the princess in her life. Du Lin added, the three princes seemed to provoke Magus, but it would not be cost-effective to pull himself in, he "slipped away" in time, and then asked people to invite the three princes in.
The third prince did not continue to pester, but when he passed by Durin, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear—Ophelia is not ...... a few days older than the princess.
Well, it's not a thing, after seeing the third prince surrounded by a group of nobles, Magus glanced at Duhrin and said nothing, but Duhrin could feel that Mags seemed to be a little hairy, and he didn't dare to open his mouth, lest the old man be angry with himself.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Durin and Maggs said a word and walked towards the back of the scene, and he also prepared some small surprises for today's engagement ceremony!
Everyone loves surprises, especially girls, who not only love surprises, but also want romance.
It just so happens that Dulin is very rich......
