Chapter 238 came a group of reporters
Among Hong Kong's film groups, Yindu Institution belongs to a very magical place.
Regarding the specific situation of Yindu institutions, if you are interested, you can find some information by yourself, so I won't be verbose here.
But the state-owned label has two main characteristics:
One is to live long enough. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Debao, Xinyicheng ......, these thunderous film companies are all dead, and the Yindu organization is still alive. And it really did – a bunch of demos! I don't need to defeat you at all, I just need to survive you! (laughs and cries)
In fact, Yindu is also the oldest film group in Hong Kong. And there is not one.
The other is that it's alive and well.
In the last life, the assets of Yindu institutions have reached about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
You must know that Yindu institutions are not listed at all, and those are genuine high-quality assets. Without him, as long as he lives long enough, he will leave too many belongings.
They have their own cinema chain in Hong Kong. And they are all self-owned properties, so there is no need to pay rent at all. And because this is a state-owned factory, it will not be sold out, let alone converted into real estate or anything. With the skyrocketing property in Hong Kong, it is natural to have a large amount of high-quality assets;
They have their own huge library. Especially there are super god films like "Shaolin Temple". With the rise of online on-demand later, this film library has become a gold mine;
They also have their own distribution channels. As long as it is a film invested by a Yindu institution, it does not need to be reviewed by the higher authorities, and can it be released in the mainland unimpeded?
In other words, how many overseas filmmakers such as Hollywood and Hong Kong are drooling when they look at Yindu institutions?
That is to say, Yindu is a large state-owned factory, and their business style is quite conservative, and what they pursue is stability.
Suppose that if it is given to a trader like Li Yuan, it can be easily financed and listed. directly blow the total market value to more than 50 billion, and the share of state-owned shares will not be less than 30 billion!
At this moment, Li Yuan of course took a fancy to the cinema line of Yindu Agency.
Although there are only a few cinemas in this cinema chain, and it is outside the mainstream commercial cinema chain in Hong Kong, it basically shows some mainland movies and leftist films. But at least it's also a theater chain?
In the capital, Yindu has an office. However, because of the nature of a state-owned factory, it is often regarded as a headquarters, and the main departments are basically located in this office.
"Mr. Ma, hello."
"Xiao Li, you're welcome, call me Lao Ma. We are very welcome to cooperate with you in the metaverse!"
「……」
In fact, before coming, Yindu had already known Li Yuan's intention. They don't bend anything. And if they oppose it, they want to support it.
To be honest, in the current Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, the influence of Wanwan is almost all the same. In the choice of immediate interests and future markets, the bosses of the vast majority of entertainment companies have chosen the present.
No way, black-hearted capitalists are so short-sighted!
For the theater line of the Metaverse renting a Yindu institution, this Ma Gangma agreed to it. Anyway, this is a very normal business behavior, and the box office revenue is half of the family.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
went, everyone had their own ideas. It's just that this Xiao Li is more unlucky, and he was caught by those tabloid paparazzi in Hong Kong.
This Xiao Li is still too young to know that there are some things that can't be said casually.
With nonchalance, Ma Gang asked casually: "Then according to your opinion, where does the biggest risk come from?"
"Piracy." Li Yuan replied without hesitation.
"Piracy?"
"Yes! Maybe you've noticed that ripping technology is getting easier and easier. Now Sony and Philips have come up with the concept of a DVD standard. It is nothing more than a battle over standards, and the two sides are fighting among themselves. However, this trend is irreversible with DVD digital technology for audiovisual products. For example, a few years ago, Sony acquired Columbia, one of the seven major companies in Hollywood. In fact, this is for the DVD industry to be laid out in advance."
While talking about such a background, Li Yuan secretly felt funny.
No one would have thought that Sony, Philips, JVC and Panasonic and other large electronics companies, on the one hand, they are reluctant to pay huge market dividends of audio and video tapes and videotapes, and on the other hand, they are fighting to the death for the DVD standard, resulting in the concept of DVD has already been launched, and the technology is relatively mature, but they just do not develop finished products.
However, what stunned these manufacturers was that they were arguing with each other, and domestic VCDs had sprung up, and for a while, almost all the VCD markets were seized. Firmly dominate the Chinese market in particular?
No matter what standard you have, you will continue to quarrel, let's sell VCD first?
In the end, Sony manufacturers could only hurriedly sign a VCD standard, pinching their noses to save a little face. But it's just the face. Who will bird them among domestic VCD manufacturers? Do you still want to make money by selling patent standards?
But now when it comes to DVDs, Ma Gang doesn't seem to understand it. There is no such concept at all: "Xiao Li, this is too far away from us, right?"
"Imagine that, old horse. A family workshop that produces hundreds of pirated discs every day. The cost of a disc is lower than a movie ticket? Can the whole family watch it at home? And can you collect it and look at it repeatedly? Also, there is a lag in the law. In the face of such a new technology, it may not be considered piracy for a while? At that point, you may not even be able to sell a movie ticket."
Ma Gang was startled, and he asked suspiciously, "Could it be that serious?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
"There's something more serious."
"Huh?"
"This is also the development of digital storage technology. Now the latest is the Internet. If the broadband technology of the Internet can be solved, you don't even need to buy pirated CDs, and you can watch them casually if you have a computer with Internet access at home."
"It's science fiction, isn't it? Will it be that fast?"
"15 to 20 years! Anyway, it's close at hand, and the technical side is just a kick away."
Li Yuan hasn't talked about the development of smart phones and 3G and 4G technologies here. Otherwise, it's even more like a fantasy. Here, he didn't want to scare this Mr. Ma anymore.
"I see? So you're so unoptimistic?" Ma Gang is still skeptical.
Li Yuan smiled: "Actually, don't worry so much, the cold winter period won't be too long. The reason is simple, we can think of the Internet as a new media, right? Therefore, the Internet also has the attributes of media, which requires traffic and content. Otherwise, who would care? Therefore, a large number of film and television dramas are needed, including some things around film and television dramas, such as star lace or something. Maybe it's even more prosperous than it is now."
Ma Gang smiled, and he was also a little relieved: "Does it mean that there are risks and opportunities?"
"Yes, yes! It's the big shuffle. Those who can't adapt will be eliminated, and those who can adapt will prosper more."
Ma Gang laughed, "So that's what you meant. Those tabloid reporters?"
Ma Gang is still familiar with the virtue of the paparazzi in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Xiao Li, so you want to open thirty projects in the metaverse?"
"We are our own families, there is no need to hide anything. Thirty pcs
The project definitely has moisture, mainly to boost the morale of the new company. But in the three-year plan, try to complete 30 projects!" Li Yuan couldn't go to dismantle the eldest lady's platform, so the answer was very Hanhu.
"Then if you have any good projects in the future, don't forget to find our Yindu Agency. I heard that "Infernal Affairs" is good, starring Lau Dehua and Tony Leung, right?"
Li Yuans understood what Ma Gang meant: "If you want to cooperate, we can give you an investment quota of 1 million."
"What's so embarrassing?"
"It's nothing, cooperate with each other! Don't forget to tell us if you have a good project."
「……」
Although it is a state-owned factory, the style of Yindu is still relatively close to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the most important thing is the starring lineup. At the very least, even if the film hits the box office in the end, there is a reason, right?
As for the 1 million shares that were given away? Li Yuan never thought of eating alone. And what he values most is copyright, so it doesn't matter if he lets some out.
Besides, Yindu has its own network, maybe it can really come up with a few good projects in the future? So the necessary sharing is also needed, can I guarantee that another "Infernal Affairs" will take the initiative to come to the door?
……
Now that everything is finally ready, only the east wind is owed, and he is just waiting for Liu Dehua to arrange the schedule.
At present, Hua Tsai is busy with the filming of "Infernal Affairs". After completion, he has promised to give "Two Golden Guns" a 20-day schedule.
To tell the truth, that is, seeing the face of 200 million birch, birch himself is easier to speak. Otherwise, Li Yuan, a newcomer, is the director? Is it the experimental film with the most difficult and the highest probability of hitting the street in the art film? I really don't want to give even a day of slots!
However, Li Yuan didn't care about Birch's mental activities, as long as he was willing to agree.
Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to continuing to improve the script, Li Yuan also began to build his own crew.
It doesn't have to be that complicated. Beijing Film Studio paid to find a group of crew members, and Nortel's directing department found three outstanding students as assistance.
The actors are also mainly newcomers, and they have found some Nortel students, and there are a few who have recommended themselves, for example, the two co-producers, Zhang Xi and Du Rusong, and the two of them recommended themselves to be two little dragons. There were also a few people who were arrested. For example...... Yanqing. Ahem. Who made his image stand out?
Oh! I almost forgot. I also want to leave a place for the third sister Li Lanlan. The absolute guarantee is to ruin the image series, to reflect the strong love of the brother to the sister!
In addition, Li Yuan left his free time to go to the library, and he finally remembered the creation of the book "The Rise of a Great Power".
However, within a few days of silence, a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters came over inexplicably, and they suddenly proposed a joint interview with Li Yuan......
"Brother Yuan, hello." "Are you Brother Yuan?" "Mind if we come over to interview you?" ……
In the gossip of these reporters, Li Yuan shook his head secretly, even if I mind, brother, don't you still come to the door?
"Friends from the media, let's not be so formal? Let me ask you first, did my brother do anything unreasonable in Hong Kong?"
Those reporters couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brother Yuan, we want to ask first, is your experience real?"
"Of course it's true. Why do you ask?"
"Many people are questioning that you were a hunter in the mountains a few years ago. Later, he wrote a book "Casino", how could he become the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company? Oh, and the chairman of the board of directors of a film and television group? You should have a net worth of hundreds of millions now, right?"
"Yes! That's it?"
"That's it? Are the hunters in the mainland so rich? Didn't your book say that you didn't go to college because your family didn't have any money?"
"That's it." Li Yuan explained with a smile, "I happen to have a video taken at home here, and there is a picture of my shotgun license in it. I can rip it to you when the time comes. This is the address of my hometown, and you can also go there to do an interview."
luck
I used that home camera to shoot a lot of messy things, and now I can just take it out as evidence.
"Brother Yuan, then you mean, are you really self-made? So how do you do it? The start-up capital is supported by the family, right?"
"Didn't I tell you? There is little money in the mountain villages in the mainland, and there are not thousands of yuan all year round. My start-up capital was based on the Casino's manuscript fees."
"Manuscript fees? So much? It can't be, right?"
"There is a confidentiality clause in the contract. But by the end of last year, Casino had sold nearly 4 million units in countries around the world. You should know that there is not much remuneration for more than 1 million sets in the mainland, but overseas, especially in Europe and the United States, the remuneration of the book? I don't need to say more, do I?"
"That's not right, is that? How did it become hundreds of millions?"
"There's no secret here. It is nothing more than optimistic about the economic development of the hinterland and the broad prospects of the aquaculture industry. Together with a few friends, I invested in Wild Mountain Springs. Later, it was so sparsely listed. It has become a large company with a total market value of more than 1 billion. So my recipe for making a fortune is very simple, just two sentences - knowledge is money! Vision is everything! Haha!"
