052. Youth is a double-edged sword

Who is Yu Dong?

Born in 1971, he is one of the most successful film distributors in China.

Of course, among several well-known private film and television companies in the mainland, Berner, founded by Yu Dong, is a relatively late starter.

When Yu Dong was still drinking and running business in Beijing Film Studio, Zhang Weipin, who was newly painted, invested in the filming of Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother", and the two of them went hand in hand for the third year, and the two Huayi brothers invested in Xiaogangcang's "Endless", which was the first cooperation between the two parties......

Around the turn of the millennium, the traditional eight state-owned studios experienced "internal and external troubles".

Imported films represented by "Titanic" have won 360 million box office in the mainland, constantly encroaching on the limited domestic market space.

At this time, Yu Dong also left Beijing Film Studio and borrowed more than 200,000 yuan to open a company, which was responsible for film distribution.

Thus was born of Bernard.

In 2001, the Film Bureau issued the "Film Distribution Business License", and Berner became the first private company to hold a film distribution license since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At the same time, relying on the small and broad of "My Brothers and Sisters", Yu Dong fought a beautiful battle for fame.

However, relative to how much money he made, opening up the contacts on the Xiangjiang side was Yu Dong's biggest gain, and he knocked on the door of the Xiangjiang market.

Obviously, this is a bull man, and he also has the resources that Bai Anliang needs very much.....

Therefore, such a chubby man in his early thirties is more attractive in his eyes than any peerless beauty at this time.

The place where I met with Yu Dong was in a teahouse next to the crew hotel, and Xiangjiang likes to talk about things a lot on this kind of occasion.

Even the clubs are no exception.

Of course, the community may prefer a "backbone" hotel.

When he first saw Yu Dong, Bai Anliang didn't see that this future domestic entertainment boss had any domineering spirit, but instead looked chubby and kind-faced.

Laughing like a Maitreya Buddha.

Yu Dong, who was born as a movie salesman, is really good at interacting with people.

As soon as I saw Bai Anliang come up, I was a puffer, what a long time to hear of a big name, heroes out of teenagers and the like, one after another.

He also warmly greeted him to drink tea and helped him brew it with his own hands.

To be reasonable, a normal twenty-year-old guy is praised like this, or is he praised by a well-known figure in the industry, how much will he be a little fluttering, who can withstand this.

It's a pity that Bai Anliang is not a normal person, and he also knows other aspects about this person.....

Yu Dong is not a salesman who only drinks a lot.

invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to establish a legal person in Bernard, and Yu Dong's sister and brother-in-law were forced out; His ex-wife, who was once in charge of finances and accompanied him to the success of his business, was also forced out after leaving two children; The shares of my brother when he started his business were basically diluted; During the start-up period, the vice president and publicity director also left early......

How can a businessman with indifferent family affection be a good old man on the surface.

Bai Anliang's heart and eyes were directly full at this time.

Of course, he didn't say that he was guarding against Yu Dong, he was afraid that the other party would sell him..... At this time, he can't sell much, and there is no need for people to him.

The main thing is that Yu Dong is a businessman, and Bai Anliang is not a good person who does charity.

I saw that after he was praised by Yu Dong, his face showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "Mr. Yu has won the award, and he just eats with his fists and feet, I'm not that good." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Yu Dong's face was even worse, but he was not in a hurry to enter the topic he wanted to talk about today, "Actually, I have really heard your name a long time ago, Bai Jiaban, very capable, and the most rare thing is that you can also write a book..... I've read that book too.,It's very interesting.。 ”

"Oh?! Mr. Yu is also interested? ”

"Haha, I don't have the ability to do the project right away, don't get excited, but I still have some connections on my hands, so we can talk slowly."

Hearing this, the smile on Bai Anliang's face became brighter, "Yes, Mr. Yu is right, good things are not afraid of being late." ”

Immediately after, as if he suddenly thought of something, he slapped his thigh, "Oh yes, there is something I don't know if Mr. Yu has heard?" ”

"Huh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The day before yesterday, the Mainland and Hexiang Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement was signed, also known as the CEPA Agreement!"

His words fell, and Yu Dong's hand holding the tea trembled.

At this time, he looked at Bai Anliang's excessively young face, but there was no trace of contempt in his heart.

According to CEPA, Heung Kong Films can be financed from the Mainland, and Heung Kong Capital can take a controlling stake in Mainland cinemas......

This kind of news, even if the CEOs of film and television companies pay attention to it, Bai Anliang, a young man who mixes martial arts, is still so concerned, and now he brings it up in front of him.....

Putting down the teacup, Yu Dong seemed to be very curious and asked, "You are quite well-informed, but I still can't see through the direction of this matter for the time being, do you have any opinions?" ”

"I'm only twenty years old, what can I think, it's just hearsay, it's used to support face in front of the president, so as not to appear too well-developed and simple-minded, so that Mr. Yu looks down on it."

Being young is a double-edged sword.

Some people will despise him because he is too young, and then accidentally suffer a big loss in Bai Anliang, and there are already many players in Xiangjiang.

But the label of youth and vigor will also hinder his development to some extent, and some opportunities will really be missed.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, after pretending to be a pig for a long time, it will really become a pig.

Therefore, Bai Anliang chose to have a "showdown" with Yu Dong, buddy is not a stupid young man, come and cooperate with labor and management!

In fact, the most intuitive impact of the CEPA agreement is...... A large number of Hong Kong filmmakers went north.

Of course, the real fuse is actually the birth of "Hero", a movie sold 250 million, and the total box office in the country that year was only 900 million, and later Yang Ma's survey showed that among the audiences who came to see "Hero", eighty percent had not entered the cinema for many years.

"Hero" not only restarted the Chinese film market, but also brought Chinese films into the blockbuster era.

The market recovery coupled with the introduction of policies..... Naturally, a wave of film co-productions was set off.

Many well-known directors in Hong Kong, such as Xu Ke, Xu Anhua, Chen Kexin and others, have gone to the mainland to test the waters.

The introduction of this policy also provided convenience for the next development of the young Bernard, at this time Yu Dong was no longer satisfied with his "housekeeping" film distribution, but wanted to lay out the upstream link of the industrial chain - film investment and production.

Bai Anliang didn't know if Yu Dong had this idea so quickly, but now..... He must have had that idea!

Otherwise, why is the other party looking for himself?

Just right.... Now Yu Dong, Bai Anliang is worried that he may not be able to spend so much money to smash the movie.
